They came from the eighth grade having sought the promised land. They wandered on for eight years and on September 11, 1916 they reached the end of their journey. In the fol- lowing play I will tell of the obstacles they overcame and their successes from Sep- tember 11. 1916 until May 28, 1920 when they were turned out into the cold crue world alone. —The Author. Reflections and Revelations ACT I—Past Scene I—Freshmen. (Enter two freshmen girls with shoes laced with class colors. Ruth running in first and dropping Into a chair, Doris following). Ruth—Now the Interclass B. B. Tournament is over. I wonder what’s coming next. You know really it just dazzles me„ everything is going so fast, and I hardly get started on one thing until those big Seniors just oush us on and say “Now it's time for carnival, get your class float ready,’’ and “Now it’s time for track” and conrequently our little boys go out to practice so the Sophomores and Juniors and Sen- iors can laugh and make fun of us. Gee, ain’t it- Doris—No it ain’t. You know that if Miss Galbreath heard you say “ain’t” it would take more love poems than Burns ever wrote to please her. What is the matter with you anyway. Ruth? Why, we haven’t done half bad for freshmen. Why, just look at— Ruth—(sarcastically) Yes, let's do now. Suppose we do just look at it. The first day we didn’t do any worse than to disgrace our class forever by doing baby stunts loaming around the halls hunting for someone to take care of us. Oh no! Doris—Why Ruth, shame on you. I have had more fun than a picnic. Why I wouldn’t be anything but a freshie for worlds, until I get to be something else. Why, look what a lot of fun we've had at our parties. And even the Seniors admitted that we had a good program for a class of only 35 little Freshies. And our class was well represented in the carnival too. Ruth—Oh. yes. and just think how surprised everybody is when most of the Honor Roll students are freshies: say, we haven’t done so bad after all. have we? But now since the Tourney is over we can live in peace for everything is over. (Telephone rings and Ruth answers) Hello. Yes—Oh! Why sure we—that is—sure I can. AM right, good-bye. (Hangs uo receiver) Doris Tomlinson—:t was Mr. Coil and nc said there is going to be a class narty at the C. B. L. of I. Hall, and he said he was going to t II us how much he appreciates our efforts to brina honor to our Class, so you and I are going to bed now and go tomorrow night to get our just deserves. (EXIT) 1 I YI'Y-ONK Scene II—Sophomores. George—(with paper in hand) “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in— Heyward—(out of breath) Oh! Steve, com’ on! There’s a bunch of fellows initiating some freshmen boys down back of the First National Bank and we had better— George—(putting up hands). Enough, noble Brutus, don’t tempt me like that. Don’t you know that I have to learn Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address for English tomor- row . Heyward—Well I haven’t got mine either. George—Then take a wise man’s advice and learn it. We might as well learn to concentrate now as any time, Gibtie. for you know this is the yean we are going to be big l-T-S. Jean and Warren are sure of winning out for debate and there is Oscar, Edith, and Arthur that arc always on the honor roll and lots of others are on it at dif- ferent times. And since there are only thirty-two of us we must work hard. We know we are nix when it comes to athletics but we have the scholarship and talent and this is the year we are going to prove it (Hitting Heyward on the back). Well don’t look so glum, you act as if you were going to a funeral, but instead you are going home and ret that English lesson, and prove that the sophomores have outgrown their freshmen childishness. I know that it sounds funny but it’s true, isn’t it? Heyward—Oh! spozc, but you’re sure great on that fatherly advice. (EXIT) Scene III—Juniors. (Gladys sitting on the floor in a middy suit looking thru some souvenirs) Gladys—Oh! I'm so glad that I have saved all these souvenirs. Just think of the enjoyment that I will get out of these things. Now let me see. We had only twenty- nine members in our class, but every one was just as faithful as could be. We surely have proved that we are intellectual. Why, here’s a clipping about the ones who tried out for oratory and George was one of them. He didn't make it, but he did awfully well. (picking up another paper) And here is a clipping about the debate, and two of the debaters were juniors, George and Trella. What’s this? O. yes, the “Whole Truth” why that’s the Public Speaking play and we had some principals in that too. O! and here is the funniest thing. Weren't those Seniors jealous? Oh dear! Just because we had something awfully different and original they got mad—everybody heard about the Grand Opera Concert. Well, we don’t care; everybody else knows ours was the best anyway so we’re not worrying. And oh beloved Banquet! I guess the Seniors appreciated our efforts though. My what fun we had, and how proud we were that we could give such a lovely one. especially when it was the first one that had been giv- en for four years. (Exit sleepily) Well we surely have the satisfaction of .knowing that we have shown our colors and people appreciate us. ACT II—Present. Scene I—Seniors. (A girl enters and walks across the stage when another calls her). Jean—Oh! Trella. Trella—(Turning) What do you want? Jean—Where are you in this picture? Trella—Why there. Don’t you see me? Say you’d never know me in that outfit though would you? That’s my great granomother’3 hood and great aunt Alice’s dress 1« EM -TWO and those hoops I borrowed of an old lady neighbor. There’s Pericles Pennypacker and Amzi Snodgrass, and let me see. oh there is Charity May Sobersides. Jean—Some crowd we had that night at the “ Henpeck’s Singin Skewl wasn't it? Trella—Well I guess it was. It shows that the Plymouth people know a good thing when they see it. Not to change) the subject, Jean, but do you know I wish we could have a class party. Jean—Oh! so do I. I wonder if we can. Do you suppose we can get them all to- gether to come to my home tomorrow night? And it’s near the end of the year so we could just call it “The Senior's Farewell party. Trella—Oh. do you suppose we can work it up in that short time? Jean—Why, of course, we can. Let's go up town and get some decorations right now and we’ll have that much ready, then you can come over tomorrow evening after school and heln me decorate a little and plan things. Trella—All right. Come on. let’s get our wraps, (start toward door and door hell rings). Jean—Oh shoot! company! Trella—Oh. whatever in the world will we do? Jean—Why, its Mary! Together—Oh, good! (Enter Jean taking Mary’s wraps.) Trella—Oh I'm so glad you came. We were just planning a farewell party for the Seniors tomorrow night and we were so disappointed when the bell rang for we thought it was some horrid old comoany, but now you can help us pick out our decorations; we were just going to go uptown after them. Jean—Oh say have you finished that poem you started to write? Mary—Yes I finished that just a little while ago and I came over to see how you like it. I just couldn’t get stopped when I got started once, there were so many things I wanted to say. Together—Oh where is it? Oh lets hear it. (Both start searching her pockets). Mary—Well, don’t tear me to pieces. It’s in my coat pocket. (Jean brings coat and Mary gets it and they all sit but Mary while she reads). 111K BLUE AND THE GOLD The blue of the sky and sea is ours, To blend with the sunlight's gold. The beauty of all this great universe, To melt in one splendid mold. The blue of truth, the gold of worth To mix in this crucible grand, For we must furnish a color bold For this wonderful, beautiful land. Blue stands for purity, the guardian of life, Which we hold as a priceless gem. While co,d is the trappings of victors A metal, held priceless by men. Let us mold our lives with the blue of truth Interwoven with all things fine. May our hearts be strong and pure and good. With gold as a worth while sign. tv. kviv.iiiim:k Jean—Oh, isn’t that good! Trella—Oh, its awfully good, you know we all feel that way but there isn’t half of us that can cxp:ess ourselves. Mary—I intended to say something about our Hallowe’en Party at the Webster Building and our “Grumble Stunt” when we christened our Banner, and, oh, just lots of other things but I thought maybe others would say something about that so I wrote something that's harder to express.—our love of our colors. Jean—I’m awfully glad you did. Come on though or the stores will be closed. Trella—Dee-lighted. (EXIT) Scene II (Enter Trella and Jean with decorations). Jean—Just lay those here on the table. Trella—(Putting up decorations). Oh, isn’t it going to be nice? And Arthur, Oscar and Frances said they would bring som music and that gypsy lady we saw said she would be here at half past nine. Everything’s just coming along dandy. Gladys has been on the quartet two years and maybe she will sing some for us. Jean—I wonder if the four Senior boys on the B. B. Team have their sweaters, yet? They wanted to wear them to the Farewell Party. Oh, I hope they have. Trella—So do I. Jean—Oh, wouldn’t it be fun if some of the Seniors would come dressed like they were at some of the Senior “doings” this year. Say a couple of them dressed like they were at “The Henpecks Singin School,” two or three more like they were in the “Gypsy Rover.’’ You see we would have the four principal characters from that, about the only things we couldn’t represent, of the things we have had this year would be the crowd at the debates. Trella—Oh it would be fun but I’m afraid we can’t do it on account of getting the costumes. Jean—Oh that’s right. Well we will find plenty to do anyway. Trella—Why of course we will. Jean, don’t you feel bad sometimes. Jean—What about, leaving H. S.? I rella—Oh yes, and then other things. Jean—Certainly I feel bad sometimes about other things but what are you driving at? Trella—Oh just that. I’m sorry we can’t say something in the annual to the Juniors about our appreciation of the Banquet they are going to give us. Jean—I know its too bad but it can’t be helped. I heard something funny yester- day. Some one said that the Juniors intend to decorate in their own class colors at the Banquet. Trella—Really? Oh I'd never forgive them if they did. Jean—Oh, I don't really think they will. It’s just a rumor I guess. Let’s hope fo at least. (Standing back looking at decorations). Well, I guess this looks good enough now; come on, let’s go to th. kitchen and fix the refreshments. Trella—Refreshments. Um-Yum. That’s me. (EXIT) Scene III (Enter Jean and Trella). jean—Well I guess everything is ready now. It had better be for I hear a bunch rWKNTY.FOl ir coming now I think. (Bell rings). Yes I guess I was right. (Much chattering in the hall and Jean is heard ushering them in a room to take off their wraps. (Party scene follows until all the Seniors arrive.) Trella—Oh, Frances, you didn’t forget your music did you? Frances—No, I brought it. I left it on a chair in the hall. Shall I get it? All—Yes. do. Jean—Oh. say. let's sing our class song that Arthur, Oscar, Doris and Trella fin- ished. I have a few copies of it here. (Frances plays and the class sings—some sit- ting. some around piano.) Class Song Tune—“Jerry. ” Schoolmates. We’re so sorry we arc leaving. And we’re truly not deceiving. ’Neath Gold and Blue. Schoolmates, We will always think of you. And we will leave to you the task of keeping up the records We have made in dear P. H. S. Schoolmates, We have always been so faithful You have always teen so grateful And it’s now up to you, To keeo o'd P. H. S. A place of great success. But since we’re going, good-luck to you now.

And Kercher you know that we know that you are fair and square Davis and Hensel are well liked. Tingstrom and Keller two pals sure. Boss, and Schlosser, and Huffman too. All the faculty we’re for you. Tune—“Tulip Time” There’s a place that I know where such green Freshies grow That they added a little Gold. In this fine P. H. S. there’s a class that’s next best To the S E N I O R S. They're the Sophomores so true to our own Gold and Blue, W FNTY-HVK And we’ll stand by them for this. But the Juniors next year, when we’re no longer here Will beg teachers to give them just a few little credits. To be like us and graduate. Tune—“Let’s All Be Good Pals Together.’’ Let’s all be good pals together, That’s the spirit that should fill the air. Let’s smile in all sorts of weather Treat everybody fair and square. Remember, we should be thankful to be here. To err is human, to forgive divine, Let’s all be good pals together For when you’re gone you’re gone a long long time.

Trella and Jean come in). Gypsy—Gladys Porter. Jean—Are you ready? They are so anxious to come in that we can hardly keep them out. Gladys—Quite ready Madam. Tiella—Don’t forget that we want you to tell nothing but their future, because it T i i a -si k would take too long to tell their past and present and they know that already anyhow. And I promise that they will believe everything you say. Gladys—I undeistand perfectly. Allow them to enter. (Jean and Trella leave and bring the class in. They all sit.) (Addressing the class.) I am here to raise the cur- tain of years and show you what you will be in after years, when you are no longer to- gether but will be separated. I shall ask this young man (pointing to Heyward) to come to the table first and after I have revealed his future to him, you will each come in turn. (Bee kens to Heyward and he sits by the table). Gladys—(Taking his hand.) Your name is Heyward Gibson. You have a strong personality, therefoie you have many friends. You will marry while quite young, but as your wife will be cruel to you, you will apply for a d'vorce in a year or two. You have high ambitions and will no doubt have a large fa: m and raise either Bull Frogs or Guinea Pigs. You will have lost all faith in womankind however and never marry again. (Heyward takes his seat and a girl comes to the table). Your name is Mary Morgan. You will make a good school teacher. English is your favorite study and you may become Miss Galbreath’s successor in the P. H. S.; that is, unless you marry some rich man and become a society butterfly. (Mary takes her seat and a boy takes her place at the table.) Your name is George Stevens. I see in your hand a long life and a great success in a political career. You may some day even get to be legal advisor in the Inwood PiCKle Company. You give no thought to domestic affairs however but you will be much happier if you do. (George takes his seat and a girl takes his place at the table.) Your name is Genevieve Sester. You are going to make your own way in the world. You possess a will and determination which will greatly aid you in whatever task you undertake. You are going to be even more successful than Ruth Law as an aviator. (Genevieve's place at the table is taken by another girl). Leona—You are fond of baking and will no doubt aid some one in managing a Bakery. I see clinging to your long white apron little tots of all sizes, and you will excell as a diplomat in keeping peace in the family because your husband will naturally be quarrelsome. (Another girl takes Leona Holloway’s place at the table). Let me see. Oh, your name is Dor's Tomlinson. Doris, if you pursue your am- bitions and become a heart specialist you will be very happy as you will have many' men callers and you will have the largest practice of all your competitors. You must never marry or your practice will decrease. You will acquire a large fortune and when you are old will be content to remain at home and devote all your time to raising dogs and orphans. (A boy takes Doris’ place.) Walter Morrcw—Well Walter you are not going to live in Plymouth very long. First you will attend college and from there you will go east where you will start up in -jome kind of business. You have excellent business ability and will prove to be a successful business man. You will also attain great wealth. (A girl takes Walter’s place at the table.) Your name is Blanche Leonhard. As you have been so inclined during your TWF.NTV-KICiri school life, you will in later life conduct a Courtship Bureau and make many happy, hearts sad. As you are making these “matches” you yourself will find a mate after many years of patient waiting. (Another girl seats herself at the table when Blanche leaves it.) Head—Head—Oh! Your last name is Head. Edith Head. Yes, Yes. Your life will te a very pretty one but unromantic. You will ma.ry a week after graduation and will reside on a farm near Twin Lakes where you will be kip'-, busy raising chicken and children. Your spare moment will be spent in writing a book entitled. “Why Girls Should Never Marry.” (A girl takes Edith’s place at the table.) Your name is Ruth Parker. You will lead an eventful and exciting life. You will find many positions open to you. such as being an Artist’s model and a model of fashion departments. You have a winning way and will have many influential friends. There is only one thing that may mar your happiness and that is your poor health. However, if you will eat plenty of candy and pickles it may not bother you. (A boy takes Ruth’s place at the table.) Robert Clough—I sec a wonderful future ahead of you. You will surpass the fame of Vernon Castle as an original dan;or and will travel a great deal, giving most of your wonderful exhibitions in the jungles of Airica for the benefit of the natives of that country. You will return tc Plymouth in later years and accept a position as chief cook at the Star Restaurant. (A girl take? Robert's place at the table.) Dorothy Piper—Dorothy, duiing your High School life you have become so at- tached to the Panhandle that you will marry a coniuctor and spend the rest of your rife riding back and forth from South Bend to Terre Haute. (Dorothy’s place at the table is taken by a very tall girl.) Your name is Marjorie Morcombe. Your greatest problem in life will be in select- ing a husband, as you will have many suitors. Amongst them will be one with a bald head and a hunchback, but do not accept him as he will be inclined to be cross with you. Discourage the attentions of the prize fighter as he may be cruel, but there will be one with red hair and sea-green eyes, who will bs meek as a lamb and be very good to you, and if you accept him you will not only gain happiness but will acquire wealth and distinction as he will be the leading minister in—NUTWOOD. (Marjorie’s place at the table is taken by a small, young man.) Your name is—Schlosser—Yes, Samuel Schlosser.

You will be one of the greatest of women politicians and some day your name may appear in the “Who’s Who.” Who knows?

However if you are very discreet she will never gain any power over you and you will be very successful and happy. (Frances’ piace at the table is taken by a girl.) Your name is Ruth Mock.

(A young man takes Myrtle’s place at the table.) Your name is Oral Bell. Oral, you will travel much and win either fame or for- tune. Perhaps you will enter the Military Servire and be distinguished by some great achievement for your country. Also, you will have many love affairs but you will never mairy, and the chances are that you will die a sudden and tragic death. (Oral's place at the table is taken by a girl.)

Gypsy—You say there is one of the members of your class who is not here? Do you happen to have a handkerchief belonging to that person? Jean—Oh! Yes, I have. Here it is. (Giving her the handkerchief.) Gypsy—(Throwing handkerchief in the air.) I see a woman of strong mind, streng will, and a strong temper!

They gathered together their dolls and their toys And other kid playthings including “some boys.” They went to the lakeside the “moonlight” to view But instead played kid games paired off two and two. Each sweet little darling (?) a prize tried to win “Bologna” took first—It sure was a sin. Short dresses and ribbons were worn by the girls With frills, paint and powder and hair down in curls. The boys in short breeches and neat pinafore Looked braver than soldiers just marching to war. And when they got hung.y and cried for a lunch Roast wieners and marshmallows fed the whole bunch, Each dear dottie dimple sat up in a line And ‘sucked all day suckers— “Oh Gee! they were fine.” Sweet Betty and Dollie made such a cute pair That all the “dear children” were glad they were there. And when next year’s Juniois go out for a time With pride we refer them to this jolly rhyme. Thelma Canan '21.

S. “Wall.” began Uncle Silas, “I was up to Plymouth tother day, and while I was there I thought I'd like to go up to the school house and see if they ran that institution any different than they did when I went to school there when I was a boy. So I went and the first thing I saw when I got inside was a couple of flights of stairs leadin’ up- stairs. Then I saw a sign down the hall that said ‘Office. Wall, I went into that office and there sat a pretty girl at a table a-workin’ one of them things they call a typelighter—or somethin’ like that. I found out later that her name was—was— well, I’ll be gosh-dinged if I haven’t clean forgot it. It was somethin’ about a com- pass though. Wall, I told her 'at I wanted to look at the high school. She said, •Why, certainly. Come right this way.’ I folleied her out into the hall and there was another stairway a-leadin’ upstairs! I says to myself. ‘They must believe in keepin’ the folks around this place limbered up.’ I says to this young lady kinda casual like, ‘They don’t happen to be an elyvator in this buildin’ do they?’ She kinda laughed and said. ‘No.’ By this time we was up them steps and in a room that Miss What-you-muh-call-it called the Assembly. I took a look around and it looked to me more like an art gal- lery. They was parts of statues at the back and a whole one on a platform at the side. I asked the lady what those at the back were and she said, ‘Busts.’ I s’pose they call ’em ‘busts' 'cause the bottom part was busted off. And then they was pictures galore. I asked her wha one of ’em was and she said it was the Colosseum at Rome. Either the painter of that picture died or went crazy or somethin’ 'cause he forgot to put a roof on the thing. I hear they’re got an art class there. Maybe they got it so one of the pupils could finish it. They had some boards cut out in different shapes and somethin’ fastened on ’em. When I got a chance I looked at ’em closer. Some of ’em had figures of men that were running. I asked Miss, Miss—’s funny how I for-et that name aint it—well, anyhow I asked her what they was fer and she said the P. H. S. won ’em in track. Now what she meant by that I don’t know. The only kind of track I’ve ever keered about is a railroad track and I can’t calculate what a high school ’ud have to do with a railroad. Just then a whole Tot of scholars came pourin’ in there. They was talkin’ and laughin’ and cuttin’ up like two-year-olds. I acked the Miss what was happenin’ and she said that it was the end of the ceriod and the classes was passin’ in and she had to go. She told me to make myself at homo and went down stairs. Just then a man stepped upon a platform in front and said somethin’ and every- body got up and started out. I tuought oerhaps the buildin' was on fire so I turned around and went down those steps and through the hall and out the door as fast as I could go.

That, had they not been freshmen, they would all be quite behind. Freshmen are quite bashful when first they enter schools, They usually are awkward and they break a lot of rules. They know not where their classrooms are Or when they to class should go But when you stop and think a bit You’ll find they are not slow. They soon become accustomed to the ways of high school folks. They seem to be kind hearted and resent not, other’s jokes. But where there’s life there’s hope And freshmen have the “rep’' Of being full of energy, or let us call it “pep. ” We are a very lucky class For owning folks of “fame’’ For instance, ••Darrell Florian” who has an honored name Of being the most graceful, intellectual boy in school And we feel quite safe in saying, that he never broke a rule. And then there’s Virgil Barber An artistic lad. by trade FORTY-TWO Who can paint and picture teachers In the most flatering of shades. He’s a great impersonator of our Principal so dear, And we think he will surpass us all, within another year. We have a list of officers with whom we are well pleased, And they must go thru High School before they are released Our president is short, our vice president is tall The first is David Gibson, the last is Raymond Ball. Our secretary is the modest and betwitching Helen Rantz Our treasurer, Miss Izor, keeps our funds in the advance. And there are scores of others too numerous to name But they all have high ambitions of becoming folks of fame. We are a class of sixty and we are always there Whenever there’s to be exams, We prove ourselves quite fair. When you are a freshman you need a lot of sand. They say that freshmen people are the greenest in the land. The upperclassmen joke, if you’re large or if you’re small: They joke if you’re studious and if you’re not at all But let us tell you something which really is quite true Next'year we’ll be sophomores and we can “kid” them too. mhuy-hiickk Helen Holmes '23. —■— yyy yx yhA(i a i jot u r.

H� IM Y-SI.N KN Pentagonal Debate ?• Plymouth high school missed taking the pentagonal debate honors from Laporte by one contest. Our debating teams were composed of the following: Affirmative team: Samuel Schlosscr, Trella Davis, and Walter Morrow; Alternate, lArthur Wilkinson; Negative team: Howard Grossman. Jean Metsker and Charles Brooke: Alternate. Glcnwood Beatty. The question for debate this year was “Resolved that Labor Unions Have Justified Their Existence.” The affirmative team won from Elkhart in the first encounter by a unanimous vote of the judges. On the same night, the negative team won a like de- cision from Michigan City. The week following the negative team went to Mishawaka and won unanimously. The Laporte negative team won at Plymouth, however, and the trophy, which they had held for three years, went, again to that high school. Miss Cora Kercher coached the negative team and Mr. Davis had charge of the affirmative team. The high school is proud of the excellent showing made by the debaters on both teams and are decided more than ever to work to take the honors from Laporte. IOHTY-1 iciit Mfmnative: Srh looser.

Walter Morrow nm-no Cyrus Martin, the soap king had one son Rodney who took no interest in business and who was the typical idle rich man’s son. Mr. Martin and his stenographer Mary Grayson devised a scheme, whereby Mary was to make Rodney fall in love with her. She succeeded; the father pretended to storm against the match, and cast the loverrf out “to starve together,” the.y result being just what they had hoped that Rodney re- solved to go to work and achieve success for Mary’s sake. Rodney conceived the dar- ing plan of going into the soap business and bucking the soap trust of which his father was the head. He engaged as his assistants Mary Grayson, stenographer and Ambrose Peale, an enthusiast on advertising. Peale immediately instituted a campaign of sen- sational and extravagant advertising spending thousands of dollars a week—all on bor- rowed capital. Their hope was to make a tremendous success and thus force Cyrus Martin to back their enterprise. They barely escaped ruin through the scheme of an adventuress, Countesse de Beaurien: they were brought sharply to terms by a shrewd business man McChesney to whom they had given a worthless check. Just when all seemed lost a great scoop assured their success and brought Cyrus Martin to their terms, begging to be taken into the) firm. The humor of the play consists of the ups and downs of the ”13 Soap Company,” of the irrepressible buoyancy and hope of the daring young promoters, who will not ac- knowledge defeat. The love of Rodney and Mary proves to be genuine and Cyrus Martin is delighted to find that his son is married to the sensible and charming stenographer Mary Grayson.

PeneloDe Theo- dosia Stirabout had an attack of stage fright. Pericles Pennypacker passed the water and of course all the skewl needed a drink after so much exertion. Nor was this the only help to keep voices clear, for lemons were in evidence. While the skewl was singing the round “Donkey” Amzi Snodgrass stood upon his chair and reached ac high as he could for that high note. Aunt Betsie Poxanna Turchill deservos special mention for her wonderful rythm. She mov- ed to the beats of a metronome from the time her number was called until she again tooK her seat. Reuben Abercombie was nearly carried away by his emotions. I hesit- ate to mention that two of the skewl wen caught flirting during the concert and were properly reprimanded. nm-Hv i ATHLETICS unusiv Basket Ball The Plymouth High School has always} taken a decided interest in athletics, and of all the sports Basket Ball is the most favored. As soon as the basket ball season was opened for 1919-20, the team began practicing with the same amount of pep as was manifested in previous years. However our team was crippled to a certain extent be- cause of the lack of real experience, as our previous team consisted mostly of Seniors. But after much hard practice they were' in shape to meet the� opponents they had sche- duled. We were defeated in our first game and our luck refused to change. The final scores for some of the games might give a stranger the impression that the games were uninteresting and slow, but the opposite proved to bejtrue. In every engagement our team played a fast, steady clean qame, and they deserve much credit. The teams that were scheduled for this season were undoubtedly the strongest with which Plymouth High School has ever competed. And altho we lost the majority of the games we still have occasion to be proud of our team. The scores for the season are as follows: Oct. 31 Plymouth 6 there Nov. 7 Plymouth 5 there Nov. 14 Plymouth 16 here Nov. 21 Plymouth 19 here Nov. 22 Plymouth 15 there Nov. 28 Plymouth 3 there Dec. 5 Plymouth 14 here Dec. 13 Plymouth 14 there Dec. 19 Plymouth 20 here Dec. 20 Plymouth 4 there Dec. 26 Plymouth 13 there Dec. 27 Plymouth 16 here .Ian. 2 Plymouth 18 there Jan. 9 Plymouth 19 here Jan. 16 Plymouth 16 there Jan. 23 Plymouth 17 there Jan. 31 Plymouth 16 here Feb. 13 Plymouth 15 here Feb. 14 Plymouth 8 here Feb. 20 Plymouth 22 here Feb. 21 Plymouth 15 there Feb. 25 Plymouth 26 there F«b. 27 Plymouth 14 there Feb. 28 Plymouth 18 here Mar. 3 Plymouth 43 here TOURNAMENT Wakarusa 11 Laporte 30 Our total Score 401 Opponents 893 Argos 74 Laporte 51 S.

Pirn .Klein The Juniors Win The Tournament The Junior basket ball team lead by Captain Tanner, star center of the High School varsity five, won their second inter-class basket ball championship by defeating the Seniors 15-7. The Juniors wen their other championship in 1918. Since the Juniors have been in High School they have lost only one game in all of the inter-class tournaments. In the Junior-Senior game the Juniors took the lead early in the game and kept it throughout. The Seniors could not locate the basket which accounts for their low score. The Juniors think it a great honor to defeat the Seniors, as the Seniors had four of the High School varsity five on their team. The games with “Sophs and “Freshies” were taken with practically no resistance neither team.scoring a field goal. The score of the Junior-Sophomore game was 23-1, and of the Junior-Freshman 53-3. nm.MNK r4-f t t t t ! 1� Ml % t f f i( nr - r - ■ ‘ ■ t • t Track and Fie] Id Meet Immediately after the close of the Basket Ball season, the Plymouth High School turned her enthusiasm toward the coming track and field meet. About four weeks pre- vious to the meet the members of the track team began practicing. The outline fer practice was seriously impared by an excess of rainfall which kept the track in poor condition for several days. The meet was held Saturday, May 1st and tha weather proved very suitable to the occasion. The events were started at one o’clock and all the teams were ready to do their utmost toward taking the meet. Plymouth distinguished herself by being the only team that scored in every event. Throughout all the events Culver and Plymouth were the hottest contestants. The de- cision was not final until Culver captured the fcroad jump by a margin of one half inch. Wayne Cox received a silver medal for taking first in the mile and first in tho one half mile and second in the broad jump, receiving a total of thirteen points.

The old adage said: “What we desire to be that in a measure we are.” And when we cross out the word “desire’’ and substitute the stronger verb “determine” we find in this old-time proverb the very root and secret of success.

They would not have believed, even had they thought of it, that the few thousand pounds of Butter they made the first year would grow into a pro- duction of hundreds of thousands of pounds annually. Much less would they have thought that the yeai 1919 would show the company’s but- t?r production crossing the mark of ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS. But such has been the growth of Sehlosser Brothers over a period of thirty-six years and THEY ARE STILL GROWING.
