Pj ii ui ' iwji UHi jiivj ' ipji ' Ui i ij i iMr ' CTicz Hn flDemonam I ■ N REVIEWING the history of the high school for the past year, The Pierian does not forget the absence of one who vas for many years a member of the Faculty. Miss Bertha Hawkins was called away by death November the third, nine- teen hundred twenty. It is impossible, in a few words, to tell of her worth and work as a teacher in our high school. Perhaps it is enough to say here that few teachers have been better prepared for their duties. In the University of Indiana of which she was a graduate, she was a brilliant student. Her native ability was far above the average, and to this native ability she added a culture which only travel can give. She therefore brought to the school and to her department a wealth of experience which enabled her to place her work in the local schools on a plane with that of any in the state. Perhaps the fundamental qualification of any teacher is a knowledge of the subject, and no one who was familiar with her work or knew Miss Hawkins could doubt that she pos- sessed this qualification. Students sought her classes, not only for this reason but because she possessed a rare person- ality which made her work attractive. She was fully aware of her responsibility in dealing with young people and was fully able to meet it. She was kind, sympathetic, gentle and good humored. What more could one ask in a teacher? As a member of the faculty, her co-workers will agree that Miss Hawkins did her full duty in the general work of the school and did it willingly and capably. Any work outside of her department for the good of the school received her hearty co-operation. Upon her return from the University of Chicago in the summer of 1919, it was thought best by her physician that she obtain leave of absence for a while, as her health did not warrant her in taking up her duties immediately. She never returned and after a lingering illness of a little more than a year she was called away. In the very full- ness of her scholarship and usefulness she was taken away ; and again the age-long question is asked. Why ? Surely it was a loss to the school as well as to her friends and family, But who shall so forecast the years. And find in loss a gain to match? Or reach a hand through time and catch. The far ofi interest of tears? This much we know, that life and death are among the most natural events in the history of the world. The one follows the other with equal and certain step. The leaves fall and the flowers wither, but we know very well that these common annual occurrences are but preparatory and necessary steps to a more abundant life farther on for the trees and flowers. This is life ' s law, and whoever believes that death must follow life, must also lielieve that life must follow death and that it will be far richer and more abundant. There is no death. The stars go down. To rise upon some other shore. And bright in heaven ' s jewelled crown. They shine for ever-more. Miss Hawkins was a lovely girl. In her more mature years she was a lovely woman, quiet, dignified and thoughtful. She was a faithful friend, a capable and efficient in- structor. Her influence was always positively good. These are the priceless, meas- ureless memories she has left. What can anyone leave that could be of more value? J. F. T. I i i i i I I I I i i i i i i i i i i i iy«Bi  i?!

H. S. |HE Senior Annual, representing, as it does, the spirit of the class and reflecting the atmosphere of the school, portrays those interests of the school that will be most fondly recalled in later years: athletics, plays, debates and the bits of fun that can be called to memory by snap or joke. Naturally, the sponsor of the class, assuming responsibility for his proteges, will enjoy those memories with the class. While at times irksome perhaps, the job is not a thankless one ; in fact, it is a pleasant one and I consider it a dis- tinct privilege and honor to have acted as sponsor to this class of 1921. May their future ambitions be marked by achievement as have those of the past four years, and may the succeeding classes stand as loyally to their class and the school. H. F. TAGGART.

GETS LONG SENTENCE Pat Calkins, an employee of the Massey Tailoring Co., at- tempted to rob Marion B. Zutter- meister ' s Fruit Factory at mid- night last night, but a watchman of the factory, William Winches- ter, prevented his escape. Calkins landed on the roof of the factory in a truckplane be- longing to the Massey Tailoring Co., without waking the night- watchman. He then forced the trap door open and succeeded in getting to the safe where Mr. Zuttermeister stores such valu- able fruits as bananas and straw- berries until they are out of sea- son and the price is out of sight. Calkins lilew open the safe, se- cured his booty, and was climb- ing to his plane on the roof when Watchman Winchester awoke and noticed the airplane. As Calkins climbed into the plane, the watch- man put him to sleep with his ether gun and called Patrolman Wilbur Erk, who gave Calkins a free ride to police station. Calkins pleaded guilty and stated that the movies were re- sponsible for Kis descent to crime. Acting Mayor Mills fined him ten dollars and costs and sen- tenced him to six months at writ- ing new questions on income tax blanks.

MISS MILDRED WHITELEY One of the most charming young women present at the authors ' ball held recently at the ' ■apital, was Miss Mildred White- ley, formerly of Richmond. She is well known thruout the world, her books having been translated into twenty -three human lan- guages and Russian. Miss White- ley ' s most popular novel is He Done Nobel, for which she was awarded the Nobel Grande Prix. M ' MAHAN ON WAY TO PATAGONIA (Special to the Futurist) Mr. Herbert McMahan left Sat- urday for Patagonia, the only wet spot in the world, with the ex- ception of Tia Juana, Mexico. It is expected that Mr. McMahan will start making secret devices for sending coco-cola into the desert of America and thus reap a rich harvest. It is reported that 23 drops of ginger ale were smuggled i n to the U. S. i n 1930 from Patagonia alone, which shows the inefficiency of our pro- hibition agents. ACTION TAKEN AS RESULT OF DISCLOSURES Appears Before Council Clad in Pair of Pink Silk Pajamas. HE AVERS A FRAME-UP Mayor Roland Loehr was im- peached by the city council at three o ' clock this afternoon as the result of his appearance before them in the council chamber of the city building this morning, clad in pink silk pajamas and carrying a yellow unbrella. Ed- ward Tubby Mills, whom the mayor recently defeated for office, charged him with insanity caused by waiting for a local street car. Mr. Loehr claims the matter to be a frame-up by his rival, and charges him with having doped him, his removal being the re- sult. It is outrageous, the mayor cried, a few minutes after the council had read its decision. Yon dirty skunk forced me to sniff some Elizabeth Turner per- fume, and while I was under its power, he clothed me in the pajamas. I do not know how I got here. The Hon. Paul Dressel in charge of the meeting .rapped for order. Deputy Howard Dietrich next appeared and displayed a photo of Mr. Loehr buying the nightgarb of Sam Jaffe. Mr, Loehr, however, denied all charges made against him, and stated that the picture was of Mr. Mills and not of him. As the photo was made by Johan- ning, the face could not be recognized, so they called him to the council chamber. He swore on a copy of Snappy Stories that the man in the photo was Mr. Loehr, so the council voted unanimously for his impeachment. Mayor Loehr ' s wife, when in- terviewed by a FUTURIST re- porter, wept bitterly and declared her intentions to sue for a di- vorce.

Mutchner Thistlethwaite, and Miss Edythe Wycoff. Other memtjers present asked that their names be omitted as their hus- bands did not allow them to belong. A two-toned study, recently pur- chased by the Richmond Art as- sociation, is the work of Miss Arthusia Bennett. It represents a dying dodo in the Grand Canon of the Ohio. This masterpiece hangs in the Green Room of the local High School Art Gallery and has won praise by M. Lupin of the French Deciphering Service.

UNWARRANTED ACCI- DENT Pensacola, Fla., Dec. 30. — Marion Zuttermeister, wealth Richmond, Indiana factory owner, stepped into the former bar room of a local hotel, ordered a soft drink, and as he raised the glass to drink, started to put his foot on the brass rail, which had been removed. He fell, hit his chin on the bar, jarring his false teeth from place, cut his throat on the broken glass, and ruined his complexion. After choking he swallowed his set of teeth. Railroad companies will not allow him to ride home on their seats since this unwarranted ac- cident Due to lack of space, the Births and Deaths will be postponed, until tomorrow.

Miss Robinson expects to poll a vote of 100,000 old maids and spinsters. PASSES PHONEY TICKETS Harold Sanford, owner of a gar- age at 12th and Main Streets, got into the Coliseum last night to witness a wrestling match by giv- ing the doorkeeper a Kandy Kiss wrapner instead of a ticket. The fraud was discovered and San- ford was taken to the box office, where a search disclosed about three thou sand of the pink papers. Managers of local theaters have been complaining because similar wrappers have been coming in. A close watch is being kept on the culprit. 1 Page forty 1921 THE PIERIAN Dec. 32, 1931.

A. gym Saturday night, be- tween Roy Robbins, world ' s cham- pion, and Roy Johnson, of the ail-star team. The score was 189 to 136, Johnson ' s favor. In the first half, Referee Martha Webb called so many fouls on Johnson that she was replaced by Coach Vivian Myers, of Earlham. The second half was fast and exciting, Robbins -suffering a torn finger nail which resulted in his down- fall. Kenneth Parker led yells for the Johnsonites, while Blanche Carmen coached, and Elma Petering led the noise makers for the Champ-that-was. Johnson will be presented with a package of whisker dye as a reward for his athletic ability. Immense crowds witnessed the game. Y. W. C. A.

FLYING Miss Gertrude Williams, 2S, was hitting the high spots yester- day when she took Prof. Harold Taggart, of the Earlham faculty, for a joy ride in her new air- plane. While absorbed in gazing at his splendid, bushy moustache, she lost control of the plane for a few minutes, knocking the spire off the 14th Street Methodist Church, fatally injuring two robins perched on top a wireless outfit, and bending the flag pole on the Westcott Hotel. After landing, officers arrested her and took her before Tem- porary Mayor Mills, who fined her 20 cents for destroying prop- erty, 46 cents bv S. P, C. A. for killing the birds ' , and $36.08 by D. A. R. for marring flag pole. Prof. Taggart stated that he would have paid the fine for the spire, but when they looped the loop, his china pig bank dropped from his pocket and was lost.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE Have you ever walked up the stairs in the dark, and put your foot down on a step that wasn ' t there? All Nuts have. You know what a thundering jar it has given to the whole house, not to mention your own spinal column. We wish to direct attention to that jar as proving that the whole- sale removal of brass rails in former bar rooms is a most dangerous practice. Our news columns in this issue carry the mournful intelligence of a man who was seriously injured by such a removal. Write to your Congressman to- day begging him to consider this impending calamity to the health of American citizens. A DASTARDLY PEOT The Freedom of the Press is being assailed. Hotstuf, the magazine published by Harold Stamback along with the FU- TURIST, is about to be ruled out i the mails by the Postmaster General. The Post Office Depart- ment is kicking because ' ot- stuf is said to be burning holes in the mail bags. This is a foul, underhanded, and sneaking attempt to under- mine and ruin free speech. And if the enemies of truth are ruth- less enough to attack this, what safety have any of the founda- tions of liberty? We claim that it is up to the Post Office Department to fur- nish asbestos mail sacks, so that blasts from Hotstuf will con- tinue to shake the walls that sur- round Wickedness into the ex- tinct shimmy. NEW RATES FIVE SECONDS WITH OUR PRESIDENTS No. 63. William Jennings Bryan. TEN YEARS AGO TO-DAY Harold Sanford won twenty-five dollars for the best essay on city government. After reading this in the Richmond Blade, the citizens changed their views and voted ac- cordingly. Due to increased publishing costs we are obliged to make the following increases in our rates: To speak of a man as a progressive citizen when every one knows he is lazier than an army mule, — J2.13. Calling a woman a talented and refined lady, a valuable ac- ■ quisition to society, with any desired changes, — $1.47. Speaking of a new lawyer as a legal light of which the profes- j sion should feel justly proud, — $3.04. Referring to a departed citizen as a man whose place will long remain unfilled, when we are fully aware that he was the best poker player in town, $0.56. In a Nutshell, the life of Hon. Bryan is as follows: Born July thirst, 1863; Joined Democratic Party, 1864; Studied Law, 1872; Died for His Party, 1896, 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912.

MAGAZINE SECTION HER HONOR AT STEAK or THE BEEFSTEAK BRIDE (By Gladys D. Cosand and Irene Jarra) SYNOPSIS Alicia and her lover Clarence, the Plumber, are adrift in a help- less airplane. No gas, no grub, no overcoats, no beer; alas, the prospect has put little cheer. The villian, Chumpy, has been eluded by Clarence, when he left him tied to a bomb in gay Paree. We remind the reader that at the end of the last chapter, Alicia had just seen an object on the horizon the size of a man ' s hand. Now go on with the story. CHAPTER XXXXI Foiled Again Alicia was in a delicious tre- mor of excitement. The object the size of a hand grew till it was the size of a foot, then a head, and linally the air was filled with the whirr of great wings. O Clarence, look I It is a pel- ican bird and he has something; in his bill, cooed Alicia. The bird perched on the steering wheel. Come on, old sport, cried Clarence facetiously, let ' s see what ' s in the bill. Oljediently the bird opened his mouth Gas oline! yelled Clarence and then he fainted. The reader will re- call that it was his turn to faint. When sweet consciousness re- turned. Alicia had just pushed the starter and away sped the two for merry England. That night they landed on Ep- son Downs, where Epson salts are mined, and hand in hard tripped to London. Arriving there they partook of some light refreshments and then strolled out in search of a minister. I ' m perfectly happy, acknowl- eded Alicia as they sat down on a Pickledilly park bench. But they did not see a man lurking behind a sapling near liy. Alas, that love should be so blind ! Just then a courier in great distress rushed up and gloomed, Is there a plumber in the crowd? Clarence arose to his full height and inquired, What wouldst thou, friend ? I am a pluint)er. O sir, gasped he, there is a man in yonder house with water on the brain! Alas, go and save him! ' fio on this errand of mercy, urged Alicia I shall be waiting on you here till you return, yea, if it be a thousand years. So Clarence departed. But scarcely had his form disappeared in the fog, when the man be- hind the sapling, — yes, none otlier than Chumpy, leaped out and hissed into Alicia ' s ear. Come with me ?nd make no outcry! l nderstand ? Alas, I will and I won ' t and I understand, breathed Alicia. And she did and she didn ' t and sl-e did. True to the traditions of his craft, Clarence returned in two hours from a job he could have finished in ten minutes. Alicia, where art thou? he cried in ' heart-broken sobs. : (To be Continued) | NATURAL HISTORY The FUTURIST takes great pleasure in presenting the first of a series of articles from the pungent pen of our Special Cor- respondent. 1. the elefunt elefuntz is devided intu 3 classuz : — large, medeum, and small, with 3 sub-devishuns: — sidkus, white and saykred. elefuntz is found in but 4 partz uv the wurld; afrika, indea, and ■ elon, also tjarnum and bailez sir- kusuz. the picture belo (uv an afrikan elefunt) shoze at a glantz that is is the most dossul and inteligent uv the 4 varieteez. the indean elefunt is noted for its ivorie produckshun and fine roast legs: Wunce an elefunt gets killed it np longer groes tusks.

Bviy her candy, the ex- pensive kind. Fillerup with ice- cream sundaes. Take her to the theatre three times a week. Tele phone her twice daily. Call seven nights a week. Rave about her beauty. Praise her clothes. Talk a little about other pretty girls.. Send her books, valentines, silk handkerchiefs and little personal gifts like jade ear-rings, diamond pins, or a set of furs. Take the old man ' s car or a Taxi and put it at her disposal. Tell her you are not worthy of her, but do not tell her of your financial situa- tion. After all this is tried, the chances are that she will not like you, so start in again on an- other one. You never can bet on a woman, P. S. — Vou might tell her you love her and ask her to marry you.

Page forty-five THE PIERIAN M. H. S. FOOTBALL AT THE beginning of the season about thirty men tried out for foot- ball of whom only iive were experienced. It speaks well for Coach Null that he was able to develop a team out of men who hardly knew what the game was about. The 1920 Squad iggtiTglff ilifM ftT JltrSiiriilg l Page forty-six 1921 THE PIERIAN yi S«WWMWWWMWllSaMWl««W l The Second Football Team In the light practice before the first game of the season with Short- ridge High School, Russell Brown, a halfback of much ability, was put out of the running by a broken collar bone. This incident, although it undoubt- edly crippled the team, was offset by the high morale of our team, which was determined to do its best regardless. Although the season, so far as actual victories were concerned, was not very successful, the team was victorious in so much as it conquered every obstacle that opposed it. The season was terminated with a decisive victory over Green- field, Richmond ' s foremost rival of 1908-09. Prospects for a winning team next year are excellent since only a few of the team graduate and promising material is in abundance. THE PIERIAN M. H. S. WI S Jl 8WWt«tn 8jJt« t3a qpgjJl«jJB y FOOTBALL PERSONALS ZuTTERMEisTEE — Quarterback. Height 5 feet, 7 inches. Weight 155. Skinny was a reliable quarterback. Besides playing a consistent game of football, he also played a good game of hearts. Greene — Tackle. Height 6 feet, 2 inches. Weight 185. Sam is not so green as his name sounds. Unless his numer- ous feminine admirers prove too much for him, this young giant promises to be a veritable stone wall next year. Clark — End and halfback. Height 5 feet, 10 inches. Weight 160. Sleepy got there every time except when try- ing to catch the train to Louisville. LoHMAN — Halfback. Height 5 feet, 7 inches. Weight 150. Lohman was one of the best halfbacks ever turned out by this school. He was a hard fighter, and could always be spotted by his bloody nose. LoEHR — Fullback. Height S feet, 11 ■ inches. Weight 160. Loehr lived up to his slogan, Treat ' em rough, as any man he came up against will tes- tify. The fact that his helmet per- sisted in coming off caused the girls a great amount of worry. ScHUMAKER — Halfback. Height 6 feet, 2 inches. Weight 185. Tom was known as a dependable ground-gainer, and a good, steady player. He will be the only veteran backfield man next year. McMahan — Guard. Height 5 feet, 9 inches. Weight 150. Pete was always on the job. The football team at De- catur will agree to that. He could play best when able to see red. Walls — Guard. Height 5 feet, 10 inches. Weight 160. Walls did splendid work in the games he played. He will prob- ably hold down the line job next year. Mulligan — End. Heisrht 5 feet, 9 inches. Weight 140. Irish could always be depended upon to stop anything which came his way. His favorite pastime was intercepting forward passes. Mattox — Center. Height 5 feet, 10 inches. Weight 160. Jack ' s middle name should have been Ambition, or else . In spite of his carefree spirit he was always at the right place when needed. Da ts — Tackle. Height 5 feet, 10 inches. Weight 160. Davis was the star punter of the crew, as well as the star heart-breaker. We hear that not less than six girls have committed suicide since he left Decatur. Calkins — Tackle. Height 5 feet, 7 inches. Weight 165. Dimples as he was known at Decatur, was always on the job, no matter whether girls or football was involved. Nolan — End. Height 5 feet, 6 inches. Weight 135. Nolan was the smallest man on the team, but not by any means the least important. His motto was The bigger they are, the harder they fall. ' ' Jennings — Guard and End. Height 5 feet, 7 inches. Weight 140. Jennings was slim but mighty. He will be missed sorely by the team next year. i I I I i i i i 1 i i I IK i i i i v !?i if [B i?! iy?TiT7 ifi ff i?y ii?

Of course most of the material was inexperienced, but their willingness to learn and work helped inexpressibly. In about a week the eliminations started until the squad was reduced to twenty-five men. This number Coach Null kept in train- ing for the remainder of the season. In view of the fact that only two men on the squad were veterans, the season was fairly successful. Although M. H. S. did not win the majority of the games, it was partially due to the fact that so much of our material was inexperienced and our opponents were some- of the strongest teams in the state. Anyone will admit, however, that the Red and White put up a plucky scrap regardless of defeat or victory. The district tournament was undoubtedly the most successful part of the season. Contrary to expectations Richmond had no difficulty in winning the district meet. The team had learned much from its contact with stronger teams. i I f(mmwsT(mm tmmmimmimimm m msmm m(Simm wmwiPwiimTwfWiiWiPSmmm Page fifty THE PIERIAN M. H.

There were three : the TNT historians, the commercial de- partrfient team, and the vocational team. The various teams have played games both among themselves and with outsiders.

Each girl was given a chance to show her ability at various positions before the picking of the varsity teams, which came several weeks before the termination of the season. The Juniors boast the championship this year, but before establishing that claim they had to use all their pep to prove it. Although Miss Kauffman, the physical director of the girls, puts them through rigid training during the season, they are taking a great deal of interest in this phase of competitive athletics and are showing the boys that girls can train just as rigidly and hard as they. Spaulding ' s Official Basketball Rules of 1921 were used in all the games, arid out of the fifty-four girls who signed up, only a few dropped out. A physical examination and doctor ' s certificate were necessary before any girl was eligible. Practice games were held from Thanksgiving until Christmas. Then after Christmas, a tournament with practice before each game began which lasted until spring vacation. Teams were chosen to rep- resent the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, and captains and assistant captains were elected. The First Team, which was picked by the captains and Aliss Kauft ' man, was composed of three Juniors and three Seniors, namelv: Juanita Detmer, forward Alice Eby, forward Margaret Smith, center Agatha Phelps, center (2nd) India Stanford, guard Zelma Slade, guard It was very hard for the captains and [Miss Kauffman to choose this team. Juanita Detmer and Alice Eby played forwards in the Junior team this year and formed a fast pair, both having a good eye for the basket, and exhibiting splendid team work. Alargaret Smith, also a member of the Junior team, was chosen for center because of her ability to get the ball and get the tip-ofif. Agatha Phelps, of the Senior team, was given the place as second center because of her speed and go-get-it ability. Zelma Slade and India Stanford, both guards of the Senior team, were given the places of guards as they displayed remarkable abilitv in that line, and be- cause of their team work. i i I i ? flfr ?Fff flfr - lB fe ?fltf Page fifty- five THE PIERIAN M. H. S.  a«8«iaawwMwuiai««y«jasai!w«( T THE TRACK SQUAD RACK and field athletics were taken up this spring and the school endeavored to make it a successful year in this branch of sport. ' Of all the sports which Morton High School attempts, track is the most difficult. Not only is it a difficult branch to develop into a winning ■venture, but the interest in track is not the same as that in basketball and football. This year the material available was composed of entirely new men who took quite a while for rounding into shape. Nevertheless, the Red and White was represented by a squad of promising material, which should prove to be invaluable in the seasons to come. ' Dual meets were scheduled with New Castle, Aluncie, and Anderson, and the team also entered the district meet at Connersville on Alay 14. It is the highest aim of the school authorities to develop and encour- age athletes to take more interest in track and make it as interesting a sport as the other popular athletics in the school.

MUSIC, for the past year, has profited to no small degree under the directorship of Professor J. E. Maddy. He came from Rochester, N. Y., where he has had much experience with or- chestral directorship. He is widely known and we are indeed fortunate in securing him. The orchestra is one of the oldest as well as the best known organi- zations in High School. It dates back to 1899, when it was formed as a small mandolin club. It is now so large that two separate orchestras, distinguished as A and B , have been formed. The A ' orchestra is made up entirely of last year ' s members; while the B orchestra is composed of the younger students. An oboe, a bassoon, and a bass viol, three very much needed instruments, have been added to the regular equipment. The A orchestra, together with the Apollo chorus, gave two concerts during the year, one in March and one in April. The pro- grams included such numbers as The Bohemian Girl Overture, by Balfe, Hungarian Dances by Brahms, and Largo from the New World Symphony by Dvorak. The orchestra and the Apollo chorus gave a cantata, The Tale of the Bell by Lester in the May Festival. It is the story of the molding of the Liberty Bell in France and of its tolling for France, England, and finally for America. The comic opera Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan is probably the biggest thing presented by music pupils this year. This was given the latter part of March by the Apollo chorus and orchestra. The stage setting and decorations were furnished by the members of the wood- working and art departments ; the costuming was in the charge of the sewing department ; and the music, of Mr. Maddy. It was given two nights in order to accommodate the crowds and was considered a de- cided success by all. The band, consisting of about twenty-five members, is an organi- zation that rendered much assistance at the football and basketball games with their peppy music. The school purchased two tubas and a baritone horn for them. The president of the band is Paul Blossom ; the president of the A orchestra is Mary Jones, secretary Helen Roland ; secretary of the B orchestra is Mary Minnick ; president of the Apollo chorus is Ver- non Spalding, secretary Alberta Gossett.

PROFESSOR Maddy organized a band to instill some much-needed pep into the school, and the student body will admit that it has supplied a much-needed something. The band has a member- ship of twenty-five. It has played at the football games and the basketball tournament. In addition it has contributed several concerts which helped mater- ially in the chapel programs for the year. ig?ii i Rii Riiyi£?ir7s?lt i«fl!78vii t?iaff8?ii f?a Page sixty-one THE PIERIAN M. H.

H. S. Top Row— Jennings, Crowe, Hoeffer, Mr. Ross, Harding, Reid, Johnson Bottom Row— Thomas, Bishop, Miller, Starr, Monarch, Jones, Morgan THE REGISTER THE Register, the present high school paper, is as interesting and newsy as any other that is pubHshed in the United States. It has grown steadily to its present high journalistic standard from the old Argus and Cynosure, which were published monthly and in mag- azine form. These papers were edited by a staff chosen from the student body, whereas the Register ' s personnel is composed of the students in the journal- ism class. The first edition of the Register appeared September 25, 1916. For two years it was under the supervision of Benjamin Null who is now head of the English department at Fort Wayne, Indiana. After the departure of Mr. Null, Miss Pansy Newby took charge of the journalism class. After one year, how- ever, she left our school, and the paper was placed in charge of H. F. Ross. As Mr. Ross has had experience in the newspaper business and is instructor in printing, the Register staff is now more closely correlated with the printing classes. The Register is published weekly and is eagerly read by the majority of M. H. S. students. It influences not only the student body but also the par- ents who read the Register with enthusiasm and interest. The lively staff of the paper has been able to obtain a scoop on so much news that oftentimes the city papers reprint excerpts from the Register.

Its membership now numbers two hundred. The programs consist largely of talks by business men. The speakers are terse and to the point and the speeches are always upon subjects which will be of practical value to the average student. In some cases this is varied by having student speakers. The annual play, By Hooks and By Crooks, was pertinent and well given. The club has two social functions a year, the opening and closing banquets.

The members have proved invaluable assistants in the library and art gallery, and also in such work as helping to enroll the bashful Fresh. The several parties for the Freshmen girls which have been conducted under the auspices of the club have done more, possibly, than any other factor to make the Freshie girls feel at home. In April the club adopted a French war orphan, and gave a candy sale for its support. The Noyrrac Club is composed exclusively of Senior girls who have gained membership through the recommendation of their teachers. After recommendation they are voted on by the club at the end of the semester. The members this year have taken great interest in keeping up the activities of the club and have set a mark which it is to be hoped next year ' s club will try to emulate.

Since its organization the club has grown rapidly until now it includes one hundred and twenty-five mem- bers. Its purpose is to promote good health and good times. Each member is required to walk at least one mile a week outside the city limits, the weather permitting. If a Pedestrian fails to live up to this rule she is fined five cents. This source of income helps in the various enterprises of the organization. Ac- count is kept of the amount of territory covered by each individual and delinciuents are fined weekly. i t the end of the year silver merit pins are awarded to those who have walked one hundred miles outside the city limits ; a gold- plated pin to those who have walked two hundred, and to those who have traversed three hundred miles, a solid gold one. The club ' s chapel play this year was entitled Madame Prince- ton ' s Temple of Beauty. ifr?ivi.78aagaiafl, ' y8fli ffsyi;a!h«filia?l[?S?ll iy8? Page si xty-seven THE PIERIAN M. H.

Under the new plan the enrollment of the council approximates twenty-eight. This number, while more truly representative than the former body of twice its size, is not so unwieldy and lends itself more readily to an active part in school af- fairs. The new plan provides that members at large be elected from each class and that a term of office shall be for one year instead of 4 semester. Among the more important measures approved by the council this year were the ptirchase of a complete set of American Encyclopedias for the library, the sending of most of the members of the second team to the State Basketball Tournament, and the purchase of a new moving picture machine.

This year ' s activities were closed by an elaborate dinner dance given at the .Arlington Hotel. June 13.

H. S. Programs have consisted of speeches, studies of the works of the colored race in America, and musical pro- grams. At the close of the term the club held a get- together party of students, parents, and teachers which did much to bring about more intimate relations. One program, a play entitled Christmas Chimes, was successfully presented in Senior chapel. It is to be hoped that the society will meet with continual encour- agement and success.

It is under the di- rection of a president, vice-president, sec- retary and executive committee. This year the club has been studying the cus- toms and institutions of the Roman peo- ple. In October it had charge of a candy sale. A part of the proceeds was used for the purpose of obtaining some slides from Indiana University. A greater part, however, was used in entertaining Jhe visiting participants in the Sixth Dis- trict Latin Contest held here on March 18. Miss Mildred Ratliff of this school won first place ' in this event. In connec- tion with this contest the club presented a Latin play, Sacchus Malorum, (The Sack of Apples) in chapel before the school and visiting contestants. ii ' svir i-«iirisri;«viri«vit wr «v;f aMr)«Tiri«firavi; i? ?ita?!i Page seventy-four 1921 THE PIERIAN •a qaKiij8tiia !at!ia«ijgiiiaa: !a iia !iija!i8a Russel Brown President Roland Loehr Vice-President Harold Malone Secretary This club was organ- ized primarily for the late presidential cam- paign.

The Kem Kraft Klub Lois Ward President Harold Malone Vice-President Martha Eggemeyer Secretary The Spanish club was organized in the spring semester of 1919 to en- courage the use of spo- ken Spanish. In the meetings of the club Spanish is used al- most exclusively. This practice enables the students to use the language with greater freedom in their class work. ■1 ■i .IS %lfc _ 4 m ' .mm iTf ® r The Spanish Club i?a!«Btgfl:aBtgfliAAira?iivaBiaa,?ai7a6a?iiaaaa Page seventy-five THE PIERIAN M. H. S. THE POPULARITY CONTEST THE fact that no decisive victories were achieved in the balloting for the popularity contest proves that no single idol occupies the heart of M. H. S. students. The recipients of the greatest number of votes have received the highest com])liment that it is possible for the school to pay. The five winners are well known to be leaders, upright in character, and — well, the best type of all around high school students. The girls com- bine talent and versatility with good looks. While we won ' t discuss the looks of the boys, suffice it to say that they are ' Teaders in athletics as well as in social lines. In short, the school could have made no better choice. Mildred Whiteley won ove r Martha Eggemeyer by only a few votes while Roland Loehr was even more closely followed by Dale Harkins and Mar- ion Zuttermeister who were only four votes behind. i rmmimESSimm Page seventy-six 1921 THE PIERIAN I I I i I I i i i I i i i I I i i 3. % I 1 I i I i i i I i i i i i i i i i i I ' I 3 4,0 mt na  na n .

Hamilton, former teachers of the English and Latin Departments. The society was founded with the purpose of giving the members a broader and more discerning view of amateur theatricals. Synopses of plays, monologues and interpretation of plays by members make up the monthly programs. Due to the briefness of the time for preparation and rendering of the programs the plays for this year have been generally light and amusing with occasionally a touch of pathos. The original membership was limited to twenty-five, but as the demand became greater it was decided to admit all who cared to join. Those who were willing and competent to take parts in the plays were included as ac- tive members, and those who for inability or lack of time were unable to take active part were received as honorary members. The club now boasts an active membership of about twenty-five and an honorary membership of one hundred and nine. Only active members appear in the picture.

The play, although simple and amusing, lequires a very considerable amount of dramatic ability. The action takes place in the beauty parlor of Mad- ame Princeton, a very imposing quack. This part was very well taken by Wilma Sudhoff who, in spite of her apparent shrewishness, made a very charming principal. Susan, her assistant, a young but keen girl who read- ily saw through the schemes of her mistress, was realistically portrayed by Elizabeth Price. Reba Morgan as Mrs. Compton, a heavyweight who wished to reduce, gave a very amusing impersonation of an inquisitive fat woman. Aliss Terwilliger, the young lady who wanted a complexion, was extremely well rendered by Martha Eggemeyer. Marguerite Cox, who took the part of Miss Dickie Bird who wanted her hair dyed, did very well indeed. Alice Lemon took the part of Miss James, the reporter, who brought consternation into the beauty parlors by quietly informing the seekers after beauty that they were in for a write-up. The part of this quiet, efficient young lady was excellentl - played. [ s farti ffis?itS5its?;[5s?!i?sfifii?ii5i i Page seventy-nine THE PIERIAN M. H.

The play is a comedy in one act represent- ing the events of a day in the flower shop of Slovsky, a Russian Jew. As Slovsky, the proprietor of the shop, Norman Hoeffer made a very graph- ical presentation of a grasping, avaricious old Jew. Martha Eggemeyer gave an effective and natural interpretation of ] Iaud, the emotional office girl. Robert Hawekotte gave a capital impersonation of the office boy. Edwin Ross and Flora Bishop laughably presented the parts of an old en- gaged couple whose romance had gone to seed. Although the costuming and make-ups were very eft ' ective, the success of the play was made pos- sible only by the brilliant acting of the well-trained cast. Page eighty-one THE PIERIAN M. H. S. m sm mvs!immmimi mimmi ti iimmimimmiifmmim mi mmimismfi % r ; I I I PINAFORE INAFORE was the first really large production of its kind ever given in the M. li. S. The play was made possible only by the co- operation -of student body, faculty and interested friends. Although all the principals earned the right to the title, there were several who were particularly excellent. P The part of Josephine, mindful of her ' station, haughty and reserved, but at last overcome by love ' s power, and openly avowing her feelings for Rackstraw, was admirably performed by Rhea Crandall. Norman Hoefifer, as Dick Deadeye, gave an excellent interpretation of that crabbed and caustic old sea dog. William Romey, as the dignified captain of the Pinafore, conducted himself with a bearing of authority even when subjected to insult by the egotistical admiral, which part was excellently rendered by Paul Quigg. Other parts no less well done were Cousin Hebe, one of the cousins of the admiral and madly in love with him, ] fary Jones ; demure and beautiful little Buttercup, Wilma Sudhofif; Ralph Rackstraw, the lovelorn suitor for the hand of Josephine, Iveifer Calkins. The chorus, tastefully costumed, formed an effective and harmonious background for the principals. l)iiT i.T lr7 liyfflri i? ? limirait? |gWW [ Page eighty-two asia4iiayiay!ay! s is i!iSfias4!i®i! !asaii! !«? iav 4 l3 i iSi ri«virrstitrsvir7Svir«virrSfir Sfii £(ii7S iit)S(ltys ii !«(it)«rttrs tT ' T ' ' ' ■ ' ' ' ' r ' .i.T, f! m Page eighty-three THE PIERIAN M.

The programs, al- though they do not have as great a variety, are no whit less interesting than those of the senior school. The majority of the programs consisted of speeches, plays, readings, musical selections, and moving pictures, chiefly of great educational value. On special occasions the chapels were combined. On the whole the division has given very satisfactorv results since it gratifies the widely divergent tastes of the junior and senior schools much more than the com- bined chapels were able to do. •r rm ' i l t) t7S?ll l ! t) l ivsviiys?iiyi fi f?tiff [ffTtifg| Page eighty-nine THE PIER 1 .

October 29 — The first important program of the year was given by the EngHsh department for the furtherance of better English. Dr. Rae was the speaker for this occasion. November 5 — The Conspiracy, a play upon the same subject, was presented by the English classes a week later, under the su- pervision of Miss Fin frock. November 11 — Armistice day was the next important occa- sion. John Livingstone, the representative of the student body, made an appropriate speech. Also three ex-service men, Major Paul Comstock, Lieutenant Harold Taggart, and Mr. Frank Strayer gave brief talks. November 12 — The students who had the required number of A ' s were publicly awarded scholarship pins. November 17 — An entertaining sketch was given by all three departments of foreign language, French, Latin, and Spanish. It purposed to show the possible uses of these respective languages. February 18 — The Philathea Debating Club gave an amusing mock trial. March 25 — Saccus Mallorum, ' ' or The Sack of x pples, , was given by the Latin Club. Although Latin is somewhat dififiicult to speak the players gave their lines very fluently. April 22 — A comedy in one act, The Florist Shop, was very well presented by the Dramatic Society. The play was one- of the best given this year. ] Iay 13 — The Pedestrian Club play, Madame Princeton ' s Tem- ple of IJeauty, was given successfully. The play is an amusing comedy in one act. The climax of the year came when tl:je Seniors were placed upon the stage to the wonder and awe of the underclassmen as an example of the effect of learning. The school owes a great deal of credit to the chapel committee, headed by Mr. McGranahan, for the excellent manner in which they have arranged the programs for the year. agsiff iiygiB ?By ffiRfflfr Ti i Page ninety iDT iiyi i ijjjiLUi l LV-M CTlSSIigjlimiyJI ' VJItLL ' I ' i ' I M I ' I i i 1 1 I I I :.j.
