CHAOS HATS OFF! oocooo Along the hall there comes A bevy of boys, a chatter of chums, A bunch of brains is coniine n i eh — Hats off! The Seniors are passing by ! Purple and old gold their colors shine, Looks good to all, this class so fine — Hats off! Other classes before us fly, When the Seniors go passing by. Football or basketball, calm and cool, Fought to honor and laud the school. Of likely lads there is no lack, Captained and managed by those not slack. Hats off! oooooooooooo SENIOR YELL oooooo Hoosiers born, and Hoosiers bred, Hoosiers we will be when dead, Hoosiers, Hoosiers now we shout. What is all this noise about? Why, here comes the Senior Class, Step aside and let us pass ; Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rix; Good old class of twenty-six. 19 2 6 Page twenty-one

CHAOS As winter’s cold and snow without drives all to the shelter of home and hearth, so we Seniors, looking ahead and dreading the cold and loneliness of the outside world, unsheltered by our Alma Mater, have drawn closer together to enjoy our last days. Our work has been lightened, and we have enjoyed our social gatherings all the more for the separation so soon to come. In spite of mistakes and indiscretions, we have successfully completed the course. Our aims, our hopes, and our aspirations have been achieved, but in all this glory our happiness is tinged by the sorrow that soon the different members of tbe class will scatter to all the corners of the earth, as a volcano spreading its lava in all directions. What halls, what faces, who, with that protecting and guid- ing hand of our dear Alma Mater, will take the place of those we are leaving? These questions come to our minds as we step out into the onrushing world. Our high school days are over, gone forever, but how dear to remember! — Eva Karnowsky, ’26.
