Bate, Superintendent H. R. Robinson. President Walter Reid, Treasurer THESE men are the administrators of the school city. They are entrusted with the task of keeping the school machine running smoothly. If it were not for their efficiency, there would he no teachers, school buildings would not be cared for, and educational standards would not be maintained. Though com- paratively unknown to us. we continually enjoy the fruits of their labor. This year the School Hoard sponsored the school exposition, the most com- plete educational exhibit ever staged by the Richmond schools. EiRln ■prUtripara KbhttB Qkt ®mtr fciiuratUnt T HE greatest mistake of your life will be your thinking that you have an edu- cation now that you have fin- ished the public school. The greatest failure of a school would be to convey the idea to its pupils that it is giving them their education. Commence- ment really means commence- ment, as far as getting an edu- cation is concerned. The busi- ness of the school is to give you a few of the bare funda- mentals of education, but, principally, to show you how to become an educated man. The school has not ac- quainted you with all the good books ; it has tried to show you what good books are, to secure for you the experience of pleasure that comes from reading good books, and to foster in you a desire to read good books all your life. The school has not made you a perfect citizen, able to know and do all your civic duties and solve all our civic problems as rapidly as they arise ; it has tried to give you an insight into the ways to become a useful citizen and, especially, to give you a desire to continue to the end of your days your study of and interest in all means to better the world you live in. And so with all the different courses. An educated man is the man who, using the methods of study learned in school and retaining the fine enthusiasm for service aroused in school, is a wiser man each day than he was the day before — who keeps up with the world instead of allowing the world to rush past him and leave him amazed, discouraged, grumbling.

In my estimation there are several things that have contributed to your success in Morton High School. I shall mention four which will undoubtedly be of use to you in after school life. Morality — There is such a thing as right. Leaders of tomorrow, in claiming your rights, you are bound to be mind- Lful of the rights of others. Work — There is not anything that can take the place of systematic con- scientious effort in preparation of your daily lessons. This kind of effort that makes your school life a real success will undoubtedly assure you of success in later life. Work ! The ardor, the urge, the delight of it — Thank God for the might of it — Work that springs from the heart ' s desire, Setting, the soul and the brain on fire. Oh what is so good as the heat of it And what is so good as the beat of it. And what is so kind as the stern command Challenging brain and heart and hand? O. W. Nicely Thank God for a world where none may shirk. Thank God for the splendor of work. School Spirit — There are two kinds. I shall mention the helpful kind only. School spirit is a deep seated loyalty among the students for the school and its associations, believing the school is sincere in its motives and honest in its en- deavors to help the students to find themselves and make the most of their school lives. School spirit out of school is usually called enthusiasm. Be that as it may. Students cannot be dead, lifeless things, for the soul is dead that slumbers and these lifeless ones are exactly what they seem. Ideals or vision. Life is real! Life is earnest! But the person without Ideals or Vision is little above the beast for thence a paradox — What I aspired to be, and was not, comforts me: A brute 1 might have been, but would not sink i ' the scale Twelve femora ifflnrton litgli Thirteen George Coons, Academic Hi-Y; S.

Each group has activities of its own but many things were dime by the cluh as a whole. Among the things accomplished this year are Girl Reserve Memhership Day, Christ- mas Vesper Service, Play, llallowe ' en Party with High-Y ' s, Charity Fair and a chain of group parties.

I am properly of age too, being born in 1909. It ' s just about time I was being heard from anyway, since for sixteen vears I have been the un- complaining recipient of hard knocks, criticism, and — well — I ' ve also had my share of compliments given to me. Before I get your judgment 1 should like to have a chance to speak up. My ambition is a very lofty one and sometimes I feel that it is absolutely un- attainable. I desire above everything else, to please everybody. But alas ! You all have such different tastes that it seems that I must fall short of the goal. However, I am not discouraged at all ; on the contrary, I am more hopeful each year. Who knows but what I ' ll be perfection in 1 ? Xow, I ' m of high school age and no person of that age is perfect. If you don ' t believe me, ask the teachers. They know. Perhaps you would like to know just exactly some of the things I strive to be. I couldn ' t begin to tell you all of them. Taking them in alphabetical order, here are some of the things I am or am going to be: 1. Artistic 2. Beautiful 3. Clever 4. Dandy 5. Excellent 6. Fascinating 7. Grand 8. Humorous 9. Influential 10. Jazzy 11. A keepsake 12. Likable 13. Matchless 14. Novel 15. Original 16. Peppy 17. Quite the Berries 18. Reputable 19. Successful 20. Treasured 21. Unusual 21. Vital ( to you) 2i. Witty 24. X-traordinary 25. Your favorite book 26. Zest ful And a whole lot more that I haven ' t the time to mention in this letter. Anyway you can get an idea of what 1 want to be. Do I qualify for most of these adjectives? I hope so, but if I don ' t, please take into consideration under what circumstances I am made. Each year a new staff comes along determined to make me the Biggest and Best Annual ever published. How often you have heard that. And each year I again enter eagerly into plans which will attain that end. After a year of hard, stead) - grinding work, the staff finds that their first fond hopes cannot all be realized. This is due to the fact that they are mortal and 1 am earthly. Ho wever, I am more than satisfied if some improvements are made each year, make haste slowlv, you know. So far. I am sure that there have always been some. (Don ' t you like my new leather covers? I am delighted with them.) When I think back over the years to the time when I was such a thin little thing, 1 surely am thankful for all improvements my gain in weight is simply amazing. Well, dear friends I must stop and leave room for the other things which you reallv want to see. But I did want, at least, to sav Howdy. Your life-time pal, Pierian-. P. S. Should auld acquaintance lie forgot And never brought to mind? just get the old Pierian out For auld lang syne. Sixty-one Ulnrtnn § ympltmt£ ©rrijestra Harold M. Little.

The musical organization of which we are most proud is. of course, the nationally known Morton Symphony Orchestra under the directorship of Air. Harold M. Little. The Orchestra has held five public concerts in the auditorium at which times they played such difficult numbers as Seventh Symphony. by Beethoven; Scheherazade Suite — third movement; Unfinished Symphony by Schubert; Ballet Music by Faust-Gounod; and Twenty-second Concerto by Viotti for violin. The orchestra has participated in about twenty-five school chapel programs and has given accommodation programs for the Kiwanis Club and Other exhibitions. During April they broad- casted from the Murray theatre. Very much credit is due to Mr. Little, for such splendid work and also to the orchestra members for their co-operation. The Morton Band has been outstanding this year. They have added much enthusiasm to basketball and football games and to the pep sessions held after school. A very splendid program was broadcasted from Crosley Radio Station at Cincinnati. They were highly complimented and were asked to make a return trip. Two other important organizations are the Girls ' Glee Club and the Morton Boys ' Glee Club, both under the very efficient directorship of Miss Anita Ruby. This has been Miss Ruby ' s first year in Morton and no such interest lias been taken in glee club work and chorus work for a long time. The glee clubs furnished programs for several chapels ami in May a concert was given, in which both clubs showed ability and talent which was surprising. Miss Ruby is in charge of the Vocational Music Department in Morton. This department offers courses in harmony, music history, and music theory, for students who wish to specialize in this art and prepare themselves for musical courses in college or in conservatories. Great interest has been manifested in these activities a nd the city of Rich- mond thanks Morton for helping them to maintain a wide musical reputation. A comparatively new organization is the Junior Study Club which is spon- sored by the Woman ' s Music Study Club of the city. It is not a full fledged Morton club but its members are all Mortonites. About thirty-five girls par- ticipated in a program given in the auditorium in March. Solos, quartets, and choruses were given and a very enthusiastic audience greeted the young people. Through the programs given by these juniors the younger talent of Kick mond is presented. The present members will belong in the future to the Senior Study Club.

The club has been one of the most successful in membership, and in its valuable results has proved its worth. The purpose of the club has been to inspire interesl in the technical side of the stage, to arouse interest in, and appreciation of, the presentation of the play both from the artist ' s and layman ' s viewpoint. It is the purpose of the new drama class to follow the same aim more intensively. As in fine art all is not on the surface, true to the rule of the other arts, the stage follows the idea that art is the art that conceals art. The club and class encourage the under- standing of the things under surface. It is shown that the drama is presented to the audience through both the auditory and visual senses. The auditory end of the play covers the voices of the characters, the character exposition through the voice and incidental music. The visual interest lies in the appearance of the person, his poise and actions, and his facial expression. As the stage has developed through twenty- five centuries, an appeal to the eye through the setting, and to the ear by in- cidental music in support of the word of the play has added much. Various methods of presenting these points to the class are used according to the type of play under discussion. The play may be read and reported on, or in the case of some plavs it is thought better for the pupils to act it out. This method appears to be the more potent and there is always friendly rivalry in the try-outs for roles. For the try-outs the applicants for the parts are given an opportunity to show their conception of the part, through the use of the body, voice, and facial expression. Each one endeavors to portray the most vital, faithful char- acterization of the part — more than just the lines, the spirit behind the lines too. This spirit must be discovered and then incorporated into the role by the aid of the actors — ah — actions ! It must be presented to the audience in a subtle — unobtrusive, consistent way by aid of the lines and the properly modu- lated voice, the attire, the carriage of the body, and the workings of the face. The characters having been selected, the play is discussed from the visual and atmospheric viewpoint. This appeals to the artist craftmen of the club who at this point indulge in an argument on setting and lighting and present us with effective settings such as the one used in His Lordship. Throughout all this, it is shown that the play or the writer of a bunk — is nut the whole thing on the boards. The literature of the stage discovers new beauties as one ' s discrimina- tion grows. It is the discriminating public that encourages worth-while art. that has the vision to see the good in the new — and keep the good of the old. The purpose of the club then is to aid in the creation of that discrim- inating public. And we say then. More power to ' em.

Each day before sun up Martha was out and on her way forever occupied with the thought of giving to her family and to everyone else with whom she came in contact the best that was in her ability to offer. )n the streets of New York, Martha one day, had met a young woman, Claire Lang by name who was penniless, homeless, and friendless, just one of the many of America ' s youth who go to New York seeking a career. She had secured one position, but had been forced to give it up on account of the forwardness of Rowan, her employer. Fortunately for Miss Claire, she had wandered onto Martha ' s path. Martha, sensing the girl ' s plight, had taken her into the Slawson home as a member of the family. Martha ' s husband. Sam, came home from his work one day. looking particularly gloomy and said that the doctor had diagnosed his case as tuberculosis, and that to live he must go to the mountains. Mr. Ronald, hearing of the situation existing in the Slawson home, ordered Martha and her family to reside in the tenant house on his estate in the Catskills. Mrs. Sherman, the mistress of the house residing there with her brother Frank Ronald, and her small son Radcliff, was known only by two persons, her brother Frank and her husband Allan Sherman to have had a black mark placed after her name in the book of gold, which the angel writes. In years gone by. Mrs. Sherman had embezzled a large sum of money. Her husband, Allen Sherman, feeling RadclifFs need for a mother, had pled guilty, in her stead, and was then serving a prison sentence of from two to fourteen years. Mrs. Sherman bad a grande passion to make a match between her brother and Miss Amy Pelham. whom she had invited to the house in an effort to further her desire. Neither of them approved. Martha and Mr. Ronald or Lord Ronald, as she was inclined to call him because of his noble character, were very good friends. Their mutual feeling of understanding, and liking for each other made itself known from their first meeting. They entertained some- what the same opinions concerning various subjects, especially that concerning the rearing of Radcliff. Mrs. Sherman would not have the child crossed. Martha believed firmly in the use of the rod and Ronald believed that the time had come for Radcliff to be taken in hand. Martha saw her chance. Miss Lang was the very person to act as the uplifting influence for the boy. in other words, to have the official title of governess. Miss Lang was employed due to the combined efforts of Martha and Mr. Ronald, who had met and admired her in Rowan ' s office. In the meantime. Miss Lang and Mr. Ronald became very much interested in each other, even though Miss Lang did fail to reveal the fact in her attitude toward him. One day Sam came in and told of a peculiar man who had suddenly made his appear- ance in the village. In the end he was known as Allan Sherman, the boy RadclifFs father who had returned for bis son. Mrs. Sherman offered him money to leave but he refused. Due to the brave and never failing efforts of Martha Slawson. the futures of all persons concerned are made bright. Miss Claire at last submits to Mr. Ronald ' s entreaties, and Dan Cupid strikes an- other blow ! Seventy 0) T) o n Crt OJ c en _ . 0) iS O a.

Such was the vaudeville hill presented by the School Art League in the high school auditorium on the afternoon and evening of Decemher twelfth. Opening with a spectacular and artistic act, In a Museum of Art, arranged and produced by Miss Elizabeth Kolp. well known dancing instructor and a number of her youthful pupils, in which solo and ensemble dancing was charmingly put over with Miss Mary Eyden at the piano, the bill got into regular vaudeville form with two of Morton ' s most talented entertainers. Norma Meloy and Rhea Pyle, in a singing and musical act. Carmen, a pantomime in which Northrop Elmer took the part of this noted character of the play and opera, Elmer Porter appeared in the role of Don Jose and Helen Frances Kinert as the Flower Girl, was given with much theatrical success, the acting and dancing on the part of the three principals assisted by Elizabeth Reller, Dorothy Wentz, and Martha Handley calling out great applause from the audience. Martha Osborne followed with several numbers on the harp given with pnetic appre- ciation. Clever work was done by Northrop Elmer in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the char- acterization of Stevenson ' s well known creation. Fay Cox, George Hayward, Garth Pilgrim, Louis Carroll, Maurice Longfellow and Keith Harris appeared in a musical number as the Syncopatin ' Seven. Byron Bond as the artist in An Hour in a Studio, in which Ruth Richards anil Adelaide Benefeldt did some musical turns, made another hit with his clever charcoal sketches and amusing patter. When Miss Kolp and Northrop Elmer appeared in the Ogre and the Princesse, and the lovely princess fled before the hideous ogre, so realistic was Northrop ' s makeup that some children in the balcony shrieked, Don ' t let him get her. Little Maxine Ferguson of the Test School was recalled after her Character Songs, in which she sang and acted like a professional. Great excitement attended the Combined Adam Hindpaw and Barndoor Ringless Circus, put on by the Test Junior High with Miss Irene Jungk. as general manager, and Ross Stoakes, Tr., ring master, assisted by a host from the Test school.

Coach XTEREST in athletics has never agged, and the spirit of the school behind the teams has been especi ally full of good will, interest, and enthusiasm this year. Ye went out to win and expected to, but we didn ' t feel that the world was all wrong if we didn ' t. Physical and mental benefit from school athletics is very great. Quick ac- curate thinking and acting, which are es- sentials in any sport play, are an im- portant part in our education. The ath- letes who use their brains as well as their muscle are the best athletes and derive the most benefit. Participation in sports and games should be more general. Too many stu- dents have the idea that school is made merely for study. Good sport and con- structive recreation develop the mind, make it more active, and stimulate it. A well developed mind is important in learning lessons. Neither is school onlv for athletics. School is primarily for study. In study, we include things besides actual book knowledge, important as that is. Experience in obtaining knowledge, whether in the classroom or on the football field, is the thing for which we come to school. There is sportsmanship in other things beside sport, only we speak of it under another name. Plan your work and work your plan. Training must be planned and then adhered to strictly. The boy who can follow training through the game season can follow the plan he makes for his own life. The other fellow who makes this or that exception will never learn to follow any plan, and his life will be a series of mistakes. Training enables the boy to give a little more, and a little more is the part that makes a goal or wins the race. It is because they are willing to put all they have into the game at the time they are playing, that we support the team. Perhaps the coach cannot be given enough credit, lie must have not only enthusiasm and knowledge, but also the ability to train and inspire the boys. The ability to do well the thing he has undertaken, and the desire to see the thing through for the sake of the game, are qualities that bring the coach respect and admiration from the boys under his direction. Seventy-six jRmtm? of Sfantball Brnzan ALTIK )UGH a larger number of candidates came out for football this sea- • son than usual, the number who had had any varsity experience was small. After six weeks of strenuous practice and training our Coach, Mr. Little, had fourteen or fifteen candidates who were developing into football players. )f last year ' s team Parker. Murray, Brown, and Reeg were the only members back in suits. Young, Benham, Bond, Baldwin. Thomas. Ahl. Lacey, Abel, Jordan, Offut. C. Evans and several other new players made up the squad. Although Morton loses several players this year by graduation there are a great many very good players left. The prospects for next year ' s football team are very good. Ten games are scheduled with some of the strongest teams in Indiana and Ohio. The games scheduled for this season were : Oct. 11 — I ' i irtland — there 18 — Hamilton — here 25 — Xew Castle — here Nov. 1 — ireenfield — there 8 — M arion — there 1 5 — Shortridge — here 22 — Muncie — here 27 — Miamisburg — there Seventy-seven MORTON AT I ' iRTLAXD. OCTOBER 11 On Saturday, October 11, Morton went to Portland. While Morton showed good foothall for beginners, they were not good enough to stop the speedy Portland outfit. Morton scored on a pass from Reeg to Williams. The Port- land team scored in the first, third and fourth quarters. While no exceptional talent was uncovered, the team as a whole made a very favorable impression. However, the work of Reeg and Parker was very commendable. IIA.MILTOX AT RICHMOND, OCTOBER 18 Morton ' s old rival ( Ihio town gave Morton their annual lesson on how to play football. The game was a very good exhibition of foothall. After Morton had just missed scoring in the first half and had held Hamilton to a lone touch- down, it looked as if Morton might win the game. In the final session the team let down and the game ended Id to Hamilton. The stiff-arming of Reeg, the tackling and playing of Murray and Parker were noticeable even to a novice. May it be said to Morton ' s credit that Hamilton failed to run up as big a score as usual. NEW CASTLE AT R1CHM( )ND, ( )CT )BER 2? The Rose City School, Morton ' s bitterest rival, came to the Quaker City in hopes of getting Morton ' s scalp. The fast and deadly offense of the local aggre- gation proved the undoing of tbe visiting team. A fumble recovered by Mustard and a smashing line liuck by Reeg in the first and second quarters boosted Mor- ton ' s count to 12 while Xew Castle had gathered in 6. The final session was fought out on even terms, neither side scoring. Mustard ' s sixty yard run for goal and the all round playing of Parker were good. However, the victory was caused by the team work and all round playing of the entire team. Thomas played real football until he was forced out with injuries. MORTON AT GREENFIELD, NOVEMBER 1 The following week Morton went to Greenfield without the services of .Murray and Captain Brown. Xew Castle had walloped Greenfield earlier Seventy-eight in the season, and this led the Red Devils to be somewhat overconfident. The Greenfield eleven, coached by Hinshaw, former Earlham athlete, went into the game to beat Morton and came through with the long end of 12 to 6 victory. .AM RTON AT MARION, NOVEMBER 8 Marion, the team that we beat in the regional basketball tourney three years ago. got sweet revenge bv handing the Morton football team the short end of a 13 to 6 score. Morton started off with a bang, scoring a touchdown in less than three minutes. The Marion team retaliated with touchdowns in both the second and third quarters. The last half was a really good exhibition of football and both teams showed real ability. 1 lawkins showed fight and ability in this game. SHORTRIDGE AT RICHMOND, N )VEMBER IS In this game the Red Devils showed the best football to date. The Mor- ton team scored in every quarter and seemingly at will. The Shortridge team was a heavier but slower team than that of the locals. The playing of Brown. Reeg, Young, and Parker was good. Every man on the local team played hard and deserves mention. MUNCIE AT RICHMOND, NOVEMBER 22 In this game the Morton team showed real class. After holding Muncie on the one inch line for downs in the second and holding them scoreless in the first, second and third quarters, it looked as if it would be a scoreless game. When the greater part of the last quarter had lapsed, George, Muncie ' s brainy quarter, pulled a freak play, the result being a pass to Shields, right end, which netted six points. This was the only score made. The game was played in a sea of mud. The team showed unusual fight and playing ability, and each mem- ber of the team deserves a great deal of credit. MORTON AT MIAMISBURG, NOVEMBER 27 hi Thanksgiving Day the football team went to Miamisburg only to be beaten by a 42 to 6 count. The team was led to be somewhat overconfident by the average size of the opposing team. However, from the first kickoff it was seen that the Miamisburg athletes were clearly out for a victory. Morton was held to one lone score in the third quarter. The work of Cartwright, Miamis- burg ' s fullback, was far above the average. While not a single man on the Morton team was playing up to his standard, the work of Brown, Parker and Young was very commendable. w ■ . Seventy-nine EiRhty ] ? PIERIAN lajr Eighty-one Slrattm? nf laaketbaU §rasnn WHEN the first call for basketball was issued, sixty willing but inexperienced men turned out. On Coach Little was placed the responsibility of developing a team that would uphold Morton ' s basketball reputation. The first half of the season was unsuc- cessful, the team losing nearly every game, but through efforts of the Coach and the co- operation of the players the last half of the season was crowned with success. Morton ' s greenhorn team got off to a poor start losing five of the first six games played. Frankfort, the future state champions, defeated Morton 58 to 19 on the Trueblood court. The Red Devils journeyed to Franklin to be defeated 53 to 25 by the high school team of that city. Morton ' s great comeback was started when Rushville was defeated in an overtime game 28 to 26. The team then journeyed to Ehvood where they won a 31 to 28 decision. Morton lost at South Bend 21 to 26, hut defeated Columbus 26 to 22 at Trueblood Field. Connersville was defeated the next week 42 to 26 but the team let down at Bedford and lost 41 to 18. At the beginning of the season there were no veterans remaining from the strong team of 1923-24, which went to the state tournament. The team ' s strength was increased by the addition of Melvin Jones, who had obtained basketball experience at Technical High School. Walter Kelsey, although declared ineligible for the first semester because his parents did not reside in the city, became one of the mainstays of the team. Ather Reeg, all state half-back, developed into a smashing, fighting floor-guard. Brown, captain of the football team, was also a dependable back-guard. Morgan, although small for a center, was reliable and knew how to use his head. Yoss, the smallest man on the team, gained his position by undying fight and an unerring basket eye. Hosea, Ahl, Carroll, Williams, and J. Lacey were members of last year ' s second team. Klotz and John Laceywere new men who show great possibilities for future Morton teams. Every member of the tourna- ment team except Ahl and James Lacey will lie back next year. Under the expert eye of Coach Little the squad should develop into strong championship contenders. Morton had a rather easy time in the sectional, defeating Hagerstown, Greensfork and Whitewater in order. Fountain City was defeated in the final 4U-14. In Morton ' s firs ' game in the regional Aurora was let down. Morton ' s inexperienced players were unable to stand the strain and lost to Connersville 18-17. Throughout the tourney the team and fans displayed the best of sportsmanship. Eighty-two Nov. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Tan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

Eighty-four Eighty-five iteaum? nf ®rark £ m$m ' I ' HE track season started with an almost entirely green squad. In the first - ■ meet with Earlham College, the Morton team pushed the collegians to the limit. Although decisively defeated, they were able to score a number of points. Shortridge brought their track squad over and defeated the Red Devils by a narrow margin. The last few field events decided the meet. Huber was the individual star with four first places. The next meet with Manual of Indianapolis and Martinsville resulted in another defeat, but in this meet the Mortonians began to feel their stride and get over the lack of experience. Anderson brought a strong squad down all primed for victory, but the Indians went home for the second consecutive year in defeat. The meet was featured by many close races. Morton took all but three first places. Due to a slow track and a strong west wind. Captain Huber failed in his attempt to break a few state records by fractions of seconds. Had a watch been held on his lap of the 220, without a doubt a state record would have fallen. Running as anchor man and against a forty year lead, he made up all but a few feet of the distance, being beaten by a nose at the tape. Reeg showed his worth in the hurdles, shot put, and broad jump. In the 220 hurdle he led the field to the tape in near record time. He also, to even- one ' s astonishment, broad-jumped twenty feet. This ends the season ' s resume up to the time of going to press. Prospects for a number of points in the State Meet seem good. With Reeg, Coe, Schroeder, Bond, Huber. and Logue sure to enter events, a good showing should be made.

S6 SP ■ M( )RT( )N put a rather green baseball team in the field this season, and the results do not show so well as they might. Although Coach Little was forced to go from the bottom up with some of the men, he turned out some nice material in the end. The Red Devil nine opened the season April 11, at the Exhibition Park, with a victory over the Eaton, Ohio, nine. Eaton had a lead the first few innings, but the Morton men pulled up and won ' -( . The Morton battery in this game was R. Sharp and Danforth. These men were also the main scorers along with Bob Morgan. The next week they journeyed to Dayton, Ohio, where they were downed 6-0 by the fast Stivers High School nine. The game was played mostly in the rain and on a muddy field. Sharp and Jones pitched while Danforth and Printz received. On April 25. the Red Devils went to Eaton for a return game, and this was not as pleasing to hear from as the first game. The final score showed Eaton leading 7-3. Sharp and Danforth composed Morton ' s battery for this fracas. in Mav 2. 1 ' ' 23, Shortridge of Indianapolis came to Richmond and de- feated Morton at the Exhibition Park by a score of 5-4. The game was fast and interesting. Sharp pitched and Printz and Danforth caught in this game. Friday, Mav 8, the Red Devils went to Milton, Indiana, where they were defeated by the Wilson High School team of that city 8-6 in a fast game. Morton led until the final inning when Sharp and Jones both blew up and ]ohn Lacey stopped the onslaught after the Wilsonites had piled up six runs. SCHEDULE Morton 9 Eaton 6 — Here.

The main purpose of this league was to afford a player who could not make either the first team or second team a chance to be on a team in a league where he could display his ability to play, knowing he was a little responsible for the outcome of bis team. Also it was to create better and more good feeling between boys who rub against each other every day. A schedule was made out at the beginning of the vear by the sponsors of the teams, and the schedule was run through with perfect order the entire year. At the end of the season there was a tourney and a championship title was won by Mr. Hollingsworth ' s team. A prize in the form of a medal was given to the boy who throughout the entire league and tournev displayed the best all-round sportsmanship and aided his team. The medal was given out in chapel to Mr. Rudolph Alaule, a member of the runner-up team in the league. Mr. Byrholt ' s. Ninety-three Hill ■ ■■uuyiHj i15b ' j ' VQ ' jE b133 x.- Jt ' j e ilk !

Ninety-four Ninety-live laskrtbali BASKETBALL got under way immediately after Thanksgiving. Prac- tice was held twice a week for the purpose of learning technique and acquiring ability. Goal shooting and proper throwing proved the most difficult to master. Just after Christmas the practice games began and some of the seniors also practiced refereeing while Miss Fish coached the players. Finally in February the teams were chosen. There was a first and second team for each class making a total of six teams to play the tourney. The Seniors won the tourney by winning all their games by large margins. The Varsity teams were chosen from the best plavers on all the teams. The members of the varsity teams are : Forwards, Vera Lammott, Thelma Feltis ; Centers, Fllen Sanderson, Thelma Feltman ; Guards, Estella Thomas, Alice Daub. G. A.

This is the first year that the girls have had an opportunity to play hockey and they have received it with a great deal of enthusiasm. By the number of girls that came out for the first practice it was evident that hockey was a popular sport. Technique and shooting lessons were taken up in the fall practice though a few practice games were played. An intra-mural hockey tournament is being planned to end the spring season. Enthusiasm has run high and it is expected that the games will prove otemtte MANY girls participated in the girls ' tennis tourney played last May. In the final round Ruth Critchett of ' 24 and Dorotha Price of ' 25 played three hard sets 6-4. 5-7, and 8-6, with Dorotha winning. Tennis work for 1925 began with about fifteen girls as prospects. Besides these there were a number of beginners. There will be an intra- mural tennis tournament in singles and doubles later. After this tourna- ment a tennis team will be chosen to play the Earlham girls ' team. This is expected to be a very interesting match as it will be the first that the girls have played against another school.

The secret is out and we settle down eagerly to learn the final reports of the greatest contest in the history of Morton. Are we enlightened and surprised at the results? Well, we rather guess. Who would have thought that - - would be - — . Yes. there certainly are some surprises. Still we think that in the majority of cases everybody cast his vote wisely and thoughtfully. Voting is a serious thing and Morton ought to be commended on account of the fact that there was so little party politics. The candidates were judged purely on their own merits. There are some favored ones who hold two offices, and Norma has the distinction of winning three. However this is not so unusual since they seem to be related. The positions of Pest and Gossip certainly have some con- nection. Likewise there is a definite link between the offices of Class Dude and He-Flapper. There is not so much similarity between the offices of Class Shark and Bachelor but we aren ' t sure about Paul ' s ability in the latter one. Personally, we think Jerry has a stiff proposition. It ' s hard enough to hold down the job of the Most Popular Girl without having to be a poet. But maybe we could write poetry too, if we were so popular. We really can ' t understand how Bud copped two positions so extremely different. They ought to have a neutralizing effect on each other. He got only half of the Blusher job. It must be a painful position. We cannot discuss all the successful candidates in relation to their offices here. Hash them over among yourselves. Of course there are some differences of opinion but these are the choice of the people.

One hundred three FAMILIAR SIGHTS H Bt II I - EXPOSITION One hundred four g rf}00l iExpnstttfltt TIN . Public Schools are, as the name implies, public institutions in the sense that they have been organized by the public, for the benefit of the public, and are supported by public taxation. For that reason school teachers are public officials and, as such, are expected at regular intervals to submit to their employers, the public, a statement of the manner in which the public school business has been carried on. Generally, such a statement has been made by the superintendent as a formal written docu- ment to the School Board and through the School Board to the public. Very few people read such a document and, besides, a written report is a very inadequate means of presenting to the public such a complicated organization as the modern public school. For that reason, this year the superintendent conceived the idea of presenting the work of the schools to the public by means of an Exposition which would include actual class room exercises from every department of the public school system from the kindergarten to the office of the School Board itself. And not only would ever}- department be represented, but every step and process of teaching within the department would also lie shown. In order to do all this, committees were appointed almost as soon as school opened in the fall to begin to organize the Richmond Public School Exposition. One large central committee was chosen to organize the Ex- position as a whole, and separate committees were then selected that would have control of each department in the school work. Space was secured in the Morton High School and in St. Paul ' s Community House and in these spaces some thirty different booths were constructed largely by the boys of the wood working classes. In these booths the committees in charge placed classroom work of their respective departments. When the Exposition was in place, the results exceeded the expecta- tion of all those who had planned it. Even teachers in the schools them- selves were surprised at the complexity of the school system of which they were a part and discovered many things about different phases of school work with which they were unfamiliar. As it turned out, the Ex- position was probably the most pretentious of its kind ever attempted in the country and represented an exhibition which was nut only ex- tremely interesting but instructive as well. Every pupil in the Richmond Schools was given the opportunity to visit the exhibition. Thousands of the parents and patrons of the schools took advantage of the unique opportunity of seeing the school system and all of its work exhibited as a whole.

Spooners School ( ne hundred eight RICHMOND was the scene of a gigantic home-coming celebration on the days of December 26 and 27, when the present students of Morton celebrated the return of a great many Morton graduates of former years. Not only were alumni and present students of Morton welcomed, but also any students who attended Morton at any time. The main purpose of the home-coming was to give Morton a closer connection with its students of former years. This plan originated from the failures of the individual class reunions which were formerly held. The city was decorated in the school colors, red and white. The lamp posts and the store windows were especially attractive. The Community Service, our faithful Nancy Noyrracs and the committee from the Student Council are to be commended for their artistic work in decoration. The home-coming opened with a repetition of the annual vaudeville and a concert by the Morton Symphony Orchestra. Five attractive acts were given by the alumni in addition to the several acts from the first vaudeville. The first number was an exquisite, interpretative dancing act given by the talented pupils of Miss Elizabeth Kolp. Following this, Francis Robinson gave an amusing burlesque on the previous performance. The rest of the program besides the acts repeated from the vaudeville, included several numbers by the orchestra, among which were Morton ' s favorites, Song of Love from Blossom Time and the school song. Bill Romey who was prominent in music lines while in Morton, sang several beautiful numbers accompanied by Jerry Harter. Floyd Nusbaum, Peg Brokamp and Paul Mulligan gave several of the latest song hits. The troupe was presented with a bouquet of holly and garden vegetables. The audience so greatly appreciated the efforts of these wonderful performers that they generously tossed them copper coins. The scene of the last act was set in a hospital, where the internes, George Krueger and Kenny Price, and the nurse, Helen Clark, tried to carry out Dr. Tom Noland ' s orders concerning a certain victim of alcoholic poisoning, namely Griffin Jay. Lewis Davis, another patient helped to keep the room quiet by holding boxing matches with the other inmate and shooting revolvers. No definite program was outlined for Saturday afternoon, and the decisive victory of the Red Devils over Fountain City Saturday night was a fitting close to the celebration. Following the game a dance was held on the Coliseum floor, which was attended by students and alumni. Fay Care ' s orchestra furnished the music. The home-coming was successful from every standpoint, and it will probably be held every year. The huge success was due to the efficient work of the committee, headed by Morton ' s dependable, energetic and pop- ular student, Bill Huber, and the splendid cooperation of the students, the Rotary, the Kiwanis and the Lions clubs.

One hundred eleven MORE and more arc the students of Morton being entrusted with the administration of school affairs. The ancient idea that the student ' s only mission in high school is to study text-books is disappearing in Morton. Students in our high school are en- trusted with responsible duties in regard to school activities, and they have shown that they are not unworthy of the trust. Last year Mr. Cline developed a new student manager system in Morton. Under the new plan four student managers were selected to aid the faculty managers in their re- spective activities. This year the plan was developed even more, and six student-managers were appointed. Under this new system practically all phases of school life are covered. The following were the student managers for the school year of ' 24-25: football — William Huber; basketball — George Cummins; spring athletics — William Penery ; shows, orchestra concerts, etc. — Roland Kemper; Register — Kathryn Weber; Pierian — Ernest Russell; general assistant — Martha Smith. The duty of the student-managers is to aid and supplement the work of the faculty managers. They are chosen by a committee composed of teachers and members of the Student Council. One hundred twelv otlj? iFarultg iUanag rs IT is under the guidance and supervision of the faculty managers that the Sporting events and other activities of school life in Morton are success- fully carried on. Mr. Sellers was the manager of this year ' s football team. His duty was to schedule games, to provide and plan for the time and scene of the games, to take charge of gate receipts and expenditures. The affairs of the basketball team were in charge of Mr. Van Etten. lie scheduled games, provided officials, secured the floors, and had other import- ant duties to perform. Mr. Byrholdt and Mr. Karl Miller were the managers of the spring ath- letics, the former being in charge of track meets and the latter in charge of the baseball games. Dusting the cinders and providing pails for the water- boys, were some of their respective duties. Mr. Ezra Miller controlled all tennis activities. It was the duty of Mr. Donaker to provide for sufficient publicity in ad- vertising the orchestra concerts, to manage the sale of season tickets, and to take charge of school shows and vaudevilles. Mr. Grissom and Miss Finfrock, as faculty managers for the Register and Pierian, acted in an advisory capacity in doing the work allotted to them. Because of their efforts the publications enjoyed a very successful year. The success which has attended the various phases of school activities is sufficient proof of the painstaking labors of these managers, aided by the work of the student managers.

' 1( )NG, long ago in the very s earlv history of the world Leei Needham mottoes were adopted and es- tablished in the homes of vari- ous ambitious families. In this manner each member of the family strove to reach the higher ideals of life, by moral upright living. Successful fami- lies having grown from having a set goal in view, the practice of the adoption and carrying on by mottoes has come down through the ages. It has long- since been the custom of doc- tors of science, business men, and instructors each to have a motto to enable him and those in cooperation with them to reach the higher standards and ideals of humanity. Great effort has been put forth to boost this practice as well as to attain the goal of better living. I bus in order to promote the standards of the ' 25 ' s of Mor- ton High School, a motto contest was held in which every pupil was eligible to participate. The contest began January 20 and ended February 23. During this time many mottoes were presented. From this collection one appropriate motto was selected for the class. Let Him Bear the I ' rize Who Merits It This motto was submitted by .Miss Leeda Needham, a senior. This is a maxim worthy of emulation. All the members of the Senior Class may never achieve the realization of their dreams, but by setting for themselves a high ideal and by working earnestl) for il attainment, they will be surer of success than had they never tried.

One hundred fifteen Itngraplja rrf (§ixmv f . iflnrtnn OLIVER HAZARD PERRY THROCK MORTON was born August 4. 1823, at Salisbury, Indiana. This little village was then the county seat of Wayne County, but it is now unknown and. except for the land whereon it stood, it is as if it never existed. His parents were James T. Morton and Sarah Morton. Mrs. Morton was a large, robust, tine-looking woman of a strong character, a remark- able memory ami excellent conversational powers. While Senator Morton inherited something of Puritan sturdiness and patriotic spirit from his father ' s family, yet his splendid appearance, his energy, and unconquerable will came mostly from his mother ' s family. The name given to Senator Morton was that of Commodore Perrv. Senator Morton ' s father had served in the war of 1S12 and had conceived an intense admiration for Perry. But lliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton was too much of a name for practical use. In early life all of his initials appeared in his signature, but even this was inconvenient, and when he began to practice law, his preceptor called his attention to the appearance of his signature. Two-fifths of his name was quietly dropped, and he is known to history as Oliver P. Morton. Morton ' s mothe r died July 11. 1826. he being three years old at the time of her death. There was no one to care for Morton at Salisbury. John Miller, Morton ' s grandfather owned a farm at Springdale, ( )hio, where he lived with his wife, Hannah, and his two daughters, Polly and Hannah Whittaker, both widows. Morton went to Springdale to be brought up by his two aunts, Polly and Hannah. He lived there until he was fifteen years of age in a careful and thriftv family of old Scotch Presbyterians. The minister would come and examine them in their catechism, and at these times, as Morton remembered, they always had wine and cakes upon the sideboard. Morton studied his catechism at home. He had read the Bible entirely through at an early age and was afterwards required to read it all once every year. ( n Sundays, when the family went to church, they took their lunch with them and stayed all day. Morton would sit on a hard bench by his aunt ' s side through the long services until he became utterly weary. This gave him a distaste for religious exercises; therefore he was known in his later life as a non professor. Yet this early training left marks upon his character. Morton was humored very much by his aunts. The two sisters were bred in the old belief that it was the duty of a woman to wait upon a man and they were very fond of the boy. They usually let him do just as he pleased. Hannah taught school in the neighborhood, and Perry, as he was called in his boyhood days, was one of her pupils. Here one taste developed early. Morion was a greedy reader. Isaac Burbank, Morton ' s future wife ' s father, was a merchant in Cen- terville. and he often went to Cincinnati to buy goods. Morton would give Mr. Burbank what little money he had saved to buy books for him at Cin- cinnati, lie was especially fond of winks of history and biography. On one One hundred sixteen occasion Mr. Burbank brought him The Life of Marion. Morton sat np all night to read the book and finished it by morning. Morton was not generally noticed as a boy of extraordinary parts. He was quiet and undemonstrative, showing outwardly few characteristics different from those of the ordinary country boy. He was large and sturdy, very fond of athletic sports. He beat most of his companions in running, jumping and swimming. He used to relate the story of an effort he made to ride standing upon a bareback horse, an attempt naturally followed by most unpleasant results. Morton ' s father moved to Centerville, when Salisbury fell into decay, his sh oemaker ' s shop being transferred to Centerville also. In 1837, Samuel K. Hoshour opened a school which Morton entered. He remained there one year. One of his fellow schoolmates thus speaks of him: Ol, as we called him, was a good-natured, big-souled boy. He was kind to his school-mates, and we all liked him. He was so slow in reci- tations that he sometimes had the appearance of making it up as he went along. In our debates we always liked to have him on our side. When Morton was sixteen, the entire family moved to Centerville and a short time afterwards, October 12, 1838, the grandfather, John Miller, died. Morton could not devote any great amount of time to a general edu- cation. It was discreditable for a boy not to work. Morton entered the office of Doctor Swain, who kept drugs for sale. Here Morton ' s object was to make a study of medicine, but his appetite for books was too strong. Soon a difficulty occurred between him and Doctor Swain. The doctor came into the store one day and found Morton reading. He struck the boy. The blow was returned and they parted company. A family council sat in judgment upon Morton ' s conduct and decided that he should be sent to his brother William. He was to remain with him for four years to learn the hatters ' trade. He went and his brother got all the work possible out of Morton. Morton up to this time had shown few signs of his ability. He was an overgrown boy, big, shy, awkward, industrious, steady in his habits. He was the most backward beau I ever saw. He was fond of music, he be- longed to the village band, and played the flute, cornet, and clarinet. Accounts differ as to the character of his music. All the leisure time he could ge t was given to reading. In 1843, six months before Morton ' s apprenticeship expired, he entered Miami University. He spent two years there. Mathematics and English re- ceived much attention. He was a leader in athletic games, and those who saw him in later life broken down by paralysis, remembered with a pang the days of youth and vigor when he kicked the football over the dormitories. Mansur, his room-mate, tells of him that a band was organized in the college, Morton joined it and tried to play on the bugle, but made such a din that the students threatened to lynch him. Nothing stopped him until Mansur broke his horn, and threatened to drive him out if he ever blew anything larger than a french harp. When Morton left college he had the reputation of being the best debater. Morton married Lucinda Burbank in 1845. She was a woman of quiet, retiring manners. Morton began the practice of law in 1846. While practicing law he had many partners. In 1850 he went into partnership with Johnson with whom he remained until Johnson was elected judge in 1852. In 1852 Morton came before the public and made his great war speech. The main points of his speech were : One hundred seventeen 1. Coercion — The Oath of the President. 2. The lack of power in a government to dismember itself. 3. Consequences of allowing- peaceable secession. 4. The national idea. This speech was demanded by emergency. Its effect was very great, not only in the state but in the entire country. It was like a substance dropped into a solution ready to crystallize. The sentiments which it declared were the principles which afterwards guided the conduct of the administration and the policy of the Republican party. It is said that when Lincoln read the speech he said, It covers the whole ground, and declares the necessary policy of the government. A copy was sent to England. January 15. 1862 Morton was sworn into office as governor of Indiana. When he entered the office, the conditions of the state were terrible. The state finances were disordered. The state militia and arms existed only on paper. Following the firing upon Ft. Sumter and almost before the sound of the cannon had ceased. Alorton sent to President Lincoln the following message : Executive Department of Indiana. To Abraham Lincoln. President of the United States: ( n behalf (if the State of Indiana, I tender to you for the defense of the nation and to uphold the authority of the Government, 100,000 men. ( (liver P. Morton, Governor of Indiana Indiana ' s part in the civil war, taking into consideration its size and population, was second to that of no other state of the I ' nion. The chief and determining cause was the individuality of Governor Morton. He seemed to grasp, without reasoning, the gravity of the situation, and that he did not hesi- tate to act is a matter of history. In 18( 8 Morton was elected to the Senate. Here he was a great leader in the debates. Morton ' s physical characteristics were a high forehead, a large head, black hair, dark searching eves, a fair complexion, a nose slightly flattened at the end. a voice not too loud, but dee]), full, and distinct, a huge well proportioned body, and broad shoulders. His mental processes were as clear as daylight. 1 Ie had the simplicity of greatness. In his public addresses, he renounced all tricks of diction. He was no phrase maker. His secretary usually prepared the speeches at .Morton ' s dictation. Morton would work two or three weeks at a speech. ( )n August the sixth, 1877, after an entertainment at which he had eaten a hearty meal, he noticed a numbness on his left side. By the next morning he had lost the use of his entire left side. This took place while he was with a commission investigating the Oregon elections in Oregon. As soon as he realized his condition he prepared to start for Indiana, lie was brought to Richmond and taken to the residence of his wife ' s mother. Mrs. Burbank. Early in Sep- tember he rallied. On the thirteenth of that month. President I laves came to Richmond to visit him. ()n October fifteenth his condition was so much im- proved that he was able to be moved to his home in Indianapolis. It was not long after this until his condition became very critical. In spite of his determined effort to regain his health, the end came on November first. As time has passed and students of history have considered his ready response to Lincoln ' s call and his full record as governor. Morton ' s name has taken its place among Indiana ' s most distinguished citizens. One hundred eighteen ®tppt? By Marcia Dennis THE unique little barber shop stood on an obscure corner of two dingy streets in New York City. There were always a large number of men waiting to be shaved by this best of all barbers, who was known to the customers of the shop by the name of Tippie, Tippie of the deft fingers, Tippie of the soft hands, Tippie of the musical voice, with al- ways a sense of humor, with an overflowing intelligent line of conversa- tion, courtesy and sympathy toward all who came under his sharp razor ' s edge. Tippie earned his name by his one strange habit. Always after shaving his customer and brushing him off, helping him on with his coat, bidding him a courteous Call again, sir, he would walk to the full length mirror, look closely at himself, and methodically raise himself up and down on his tip-toes time and again. One day the man who owned the shop asked him win- he did this, and Tippie answered : Don ' t you know, sir, that you can heighten your stature ever so many inches by doing this every so often? Since Tippie was alreadv, six feet tall and very lean and lanky, they all laughed at this, but the nick- name Tippie was there to stick. Will you have your hair cut short or long, sir? asked Tippie of his customer ? Short, if you please, Tippie, answered his customer gaily. How ' s business with you, Johnny? ' ' Just fine. Working terribly hard and sure am darned tired of it. Boss hasn ' t raised my wages for so long. But what can you expect as it is a hard year on business. Yes, but things will get better later on. Everything is dull now but it will get over this depression, answered Tippie as he cut a lock of hair above the ear of his customer. Say, Johnny, pretty slick of that lunatic that got away from the East Side Insane Asylum, wasn ' t it? Did you read about it? I sure did, and it struck me as rather careless on the part of the authorities. He continued to clip quietly. Well, there you are all finished. How does it look? Fine. Suits me O. K. replied Johnny as he stepped out of the chair in which he had just been sitting. So-long, Tippie, see you again soon. Sure thing, said Tippie as he stood before the mirror looking at himself, unconsciously going up and down on his toes for the fifth or sixth time that day. At that moment the door of the shop opened with a gust of wind and a man rushed up to the manager of the shop and in hurried tones asked One hundred nineteen $owlec, e4- ncf v{ r- ' A ' -;. tr =jj One hundred twenty if he could be shaved in a hurry right then as he had a train to meet in thirty minutes. The manager replied politely, 1 will see what I can do for you sir, as he scanned the long line of chairs, noticing each barber was busy with the exception of Tippie. Tippie was at his usual occupation when not busy with a customer, raising himself up and down before the mirror. The manager, turning-, told his customer to be seated. Without paying any attention to the barber, he slouched down into the chair and leaned back and allowed the deft fingers to put the apron around his neck. He was lowered to a reclining position. He closed his eyes while Tippie lathered his face. The razor was poised above the man ' s face ready to descend, when the man, opening his eyes to ask Tippie a question, suddenly felt his heart leap to his mouth and all his blood rushed to the top of his head. Looking at Tippie and at the same time trying to keep the tremor out of his voice, he said, Napoleon, if you will let me out of here, I ' ll take you to a place where they can make you at least four inches taller by a very simple process. Oh, do you really mean it? Will it help me to win Josephine? asked Tippie, with a wild stare at the man in the chair. It sure will as Josephine likes tall men, so you had better come with me. Stepping out of his chair, he walked across to get his hat and coat. Tippie very obediently followed him having a blank stare on his astonished but pleased face, hurried for his coat and hat also. With a wink at the manager and turning his back suddenly on Tippie, he showed the amazed manager his badge under his coat, Warden of East Side Insane Asylum, and the two walked out of the shop together. Next morning the manager of the barber shop picked up the morning paper and turning to the men about him, exclaimed : Look, fellows, and read about this dangerous lunatic. Strange, isn ' t it? Handing the paper to the men he suddenly turned and walked off. leaving them to find out for themselves what he meant. The men read as follows : FIND LUNATIC SHAVING TOWN ' S CHIEF CITIZENS A dangerous lunatic has been shaving the city ' s most promi- nent men in one of the leading barber shops of the city. He es- caped from the State Hospital here. The police then learned that he had gone straight from the Hospital to the barber shop and got a job. One hundied twenty-one iEttqurtt? in tu g Ijail FIRS ' ] ill all, fellow-students, the study hall is just a place of recreation when there is no other place to recreate. Before you enter this abode of rest, be sure to have everything you don ' t need in order that you may secure permission from the teacher to go to your locker after the bell has rung-. When you come, equip yourself with a package of gum and if you are a girl don ' t forget your compact. If the room is quiet when vou enter, don ' t fail to drop your pencil, walk on your heels ( if they aren ' t rubber), drop two books, and scatter small bits of paper down the aisle. If actions speak louder than words in revealing one ' s character, the teacher will read you like a book after your stage of dropsey. Now go to your seat. In choosing a seat always choose one in the back of the room. Back there you may either lean out the windows and tease the birds on the telegraph wires, or watch the aeroplanes skid about in the skv. Always choose a seat which squeaks so that you may entertain all every time you move. After gazing about the room for five minutes more, whisper to your neighbor. He considers it a pleasure when he is trying to get his lessons. If he or others refuse to give you their attention, just write out a pass to vour locker. When passing down the aisle bump the elbows of those writing. This is a pleasing sensation for them. Leave the room making- all noise possible. While in the hall, whistle, sing, or talk loudly. Just amuse your- self as vou see fit. If you happen to be on the fourth floor, don ' t fail to whistle, for Air. Nevue envies it immensely.

R iICHMOND High School is the only high school in Indiana to own a bookplate de- signed especially for use in its library and for the use of its students. Miss Edith Tallant, now with the Columbus, Ohio, high schools, then a teacher in the English Department of Morton, presented the plate to the school, with the cut for the plate and a large number of plates off the cut. Just what became of them is not known, but later, when a search was made for them by Miss Helen Fox, at the time the high school libr arian, they could not be found. It was designed in 1908 by Raymond Perry White, known as Ray, the name with which he signed all his artistic products. He was a brother of Esther Griffin White of this city and the plate is reproduced in her volume on Indiana Bookplates. The plate was reproduced in several bookplate magazines at the time of its design, one of these publications being the Berlin Ex Libris Journal. So the plate itself is well known among bookplate collectors, both in this country and in Europe. It was the wish of the editors of The Pierian to use this plate which is so well known and which has so interesting a history. There was some discussion as to the fact that the letters R. H. S. are monogrammed on the plate, and the high school now bears the name of Morton. However, to have changed the design of the plate would have changed the composition as conceived by the designer, and the value of the original, reproduced in various publications here and in Europe in the past, would have been lost. The bookplate, as it is, is well known and will always be recognized for what it was designed for. namely, an ex libris for the Richmond High School designed by a former student, and presented by a former member of the faculty. (tnc hundred twenty -tour ft Hatttrit — ®n lExrfjang? (Iranbmnittrrs BY MARGARET GRANT PRUEBETH had definitely decided that when she grew up she would do away with grandmothers. This rather surprising- measure might present some difficulties to most of us. but to Pruebeth with her seven-year-old optimism, it seemed no task at all. There simply wouldn ' t be any grandmothers, or, if there were, one might at least have the opportunity of picking one ' s own. At any rate she was fully convinced that she had been unfortunate in her grand- mothers. Not that there was anything ' radically wrong with Prubeth ' s grandmothers, understand, nor were they the cruel type of some fairy tales ; in fact, they were both very much interested in their little granddaughter and each came every other month to visit Pruebeth and her parents. No, there was certainly nothing wrong with her grandmothers, but Pruebeth simply couldn ' t under- stand them. They weren ' t like other people. They seemed to regard her merely as an interesting creature full of streaks. It was these streaks that puzzled Pruebeth. Every action on her part was regarded as a streak of some kind. For example, when Grandmother Morrel came to visit them, every action on her part that Grandmother approved of was a Morrel streak, while all naughtinesses were called that Browning streak coming out in the poor child. These remarks w r ould be followed up by an account of some long ago ancestor who had done the very same thing. If, by chance, it was the Browning streak that mysteriously appeared, Grandmother Morrel would look disapprovingly at Daddy for some unknown reason. When Grandmother Browming came, the very reverse was true. All defects were considered the Morrel streak. Mother was the recipient of hostile looks in these cases. It was all very mystifying to Pruebeth for, though she had examined her- self closely in Mother ' s mirror, she could discover no such streaks. There was also the puzzle of names. Pruebeth ' s real name was Elizabeth Prudence Browning. ( She did not know that this order of names had almost lost forever the favor of Mrs. Morrel until it was decided to reverse the order for her every day name, thus causing the queer name of Pruebeth). To every- one else she was known simply as Pruebeth but Grandmother Browning al- ways called her Elizabeth while she was Prudence to Grandmother Morrel. This confusing state of affairs had brought about her decision to do away with grandmothers or at least find a more suitable arrangement of giving them out. Now, as Pruebeth sat kicking one round patent-leather toe against the other, she was more than ever convinced that they were an unnecessary feature of life. I don ' t see any use in ' em, she said to herself, an ' I don ' t like ' em. Of course, if mine were like Jane ' s grandmother I wouldn ' t mind, cause she always stands up for her and likes her, and Jane says she never mentions streaks or anvthing about her bringing up, and sometimes she even brings her candy. Such good fortune seemed almost incredible to Pruebeth. She was especially rebellious against fate just now because this afternoon One hundred twenty-five both her grandmothers were coming to visit them during the Christmas holi- days. Heretofore they had always arranged to come at different times, but last week Mother had received a letter from each of them stating that she had decided to come to Pruebeth ' s home for Christmas. After Mother had read the letters, she had handed them to Daddy with a half-worried and half-amused look. He read them and whistled softly. Whew! he said to Mother. That will be some proposition, but we can stand it if they can. Daddy and Mother both knew of the foolish pride and hatred between these two women. In fact, they had had ample opportunity of learning of it ever since they had fallen in love and, against the wishes of both mothers, had mar- ried each other. Many years ago their mothers had been the closest of girl friends, but some long forgotten quarrel had separated them. Now they were both coming to visit at the same time, so it was no wonder that Daddy and Mother were somewhat anxious. As Pruebeth gave vent to her feelings toward grandmothers by the solemn kicking together of her shoes, there was a sharp peal of the doorbell. Soon the sound of voices in the hall told her that her grandmothers had arrived. Prue- beth did not stir, though she knew that she should go downstairs. She would have to go soon enough anyway so why hurry the ordeal ? Yes, there was her father ' s voice calling her. She got up and walked slowly downstairs. She stood in front of them at quite a distance, silent. Grandmother Browning spoke first: Why, how do you do, Elizabeth, how are you? She turned to her son. Robert, the child is getting quite pretty. I hadn ' t noticed it before. Then she added with a glance at Mrs. Morrel, If it wasn ' t for that odious nose she would be really pretty. I ' m sure she never inherited that from the Browning side. Mrs. Morrel flushed hotly. Indeed she did not. was lifr sharp reply. No Browning had a nose like that. All the Morrel noses are alike, small and straight. As to its being odious, Mercy ! I much prefer it to a big nose. Well. Prudence, come and see your grandmother. Come here, Elizabeth, said Grandmother Browning. Pruebeth sighed. Both grandmothers were looking expectantly at her. She stood still for a second and then turned and ran out of the room. Behind she heard Grandmother Morrel saying, Well, I never! I suppose that ' s the Brown- ing streak in her. The Morrels never acted so. Pruebeth fled to her room. Eater she would have to go down and apologize. Probablv everything she said and did would lie criticized and commented on. She saw with dread that it would be much worse when they were both here to discuss her. She walked over to the mirror and looked at the innocent cause of the first conflict. There was really nothing especially good or bad about her nose. It was just the ordinary snub nose of any seven year old. Again Pruebeth sighed deeply as she heard Mother calling. The next day was the day before Christmas. After a morning much like the previous afternoon and very full of caustic remarks, Pruebeth escaped and went to pine ' s house. Eate that afternoon she slipped into the house, her eyes big with excitement and her head full of a wonderful plan. She tiptoed softly up to her room and shut the door quietly. After procuring a large sheet of paper and a long pencil she settled down to her task. She hesitated for a moment as if in some doubt, but then she shook her head and bewail writing. One hundred twenty-six It will work, ' ' she said. ' ' Least ways it ought to. If Jane can have some, I guess I can too. I never knew he kept people but I guess Jane ' s mother ought to know. After this somewhat mystifying statement she was silent for a long time while the pencil made its uneven way across the paper. Pruebeth was not skilled in the art of writing and she wasn ' t sure of some of the words but at last it was done. She sat for a minute thinking and then apparentlv an inspira- tion came to her. She seized her pencil and wrote a few more lines. Then she took the paper, folded it and slipped it in the stocking which she had chosen to hang up because of its unusually large size. Then she went into the library and hung up the stocking by the fireplace. She looked with some trepidation up the chimney. How in the world could he get them down that little hole? Even if he could, how would he know until he got there that she wanted them? Was she too late? She put these discouraging thoughts out of her head. Surely Santa Clans could manage if anyone could. It was worth trying anyway. That evening when Pruebeth was safely in bed. Daddy and Mother and their mothers were in the library putting the finishing touches on the tree and ar- ranging the presents. When he started to fill the stocking, Daddy discovered the note. Look here. May, he called, here ' s a letter Pruebeth has written to Santa Claus. Let ' s see what the kiddie wants. The) ' read the little note and both looked serious at the end of it. I guess this isn ' t in Santa ' s line, nor mine either, said Daddv. We ' ll leave this to you, Mothers, since it concerns you. He silentlv handed them the note and together they read the irregular little words. Dere Santy Claws, it read, Jame says her mother said you were going to bring her a new Daddy and a new grandmother for Christmas. Please, if you have any extras I would like two new grandmothers but the same Daddy. Plese bring me a kind that would love me and not say I have streaks and talk about my face in such a quear way. Also I would like a dollv but the grand- mothers most if conveeyant. Yours truly. Pruebeth. S. P. You can have my other grandmothers in exchange if you want them but plese don ' t give them to any other little girl. Yours truly again, Pruebeth. There was silence in the room. The two women looked at each other strangely. Finally Mrs. Morrel broke out, Beth, what fools we have made of ourselves. Just because of our ridiculous pride we have made dear little Pru- dence — I mean Pruebeth, hate us and want to get rid of us. And to think it took a little child to make us see it, Mrs. Browning re- plied. What can we do to win her affection and confidence? They talked for a long time, renewing old associations and planning for Pruebeth ' s happiness. Next morning, Pruebeth found the following note pinned on her stocking: Dear Pruebeth, I am sorry but I don ' t have any extra grandmothers so you ' ll have to let the old ones do. However, I think that they have changed and if you will be very patient with them, they will try to be as good as any I could bring you. Santa Claus. P. S. — They promised me not to mention ' streaks. S. C. One hundred twenty-seven Mb a iiarft ICtft A PLAY IN ONE ACT By Esther Armacost On the right is a door opening into a hall and on a balcony.

I am not in a position to dispute the matter with him, but I do helieve that the aforementioned poet must never have heard some of the music which we are forced to listen to at the present time. Evidently it was never his misfortune to hear a booming male quartette grind out Come Where the Tulips Bloom. or to listen to a jazz orchestra with a laughing saxophone attempting to turn discord green with envy. Hut this is not the gist of my story. As stated before, music hath charms and that is why the auditorium is such a popular place during the fourth hour, at which time the orchestra is wont to practice. Although it may not seem fair that the orchestra should have to practice during an hour when a majority of students have no class, yet can we imagine the State of affairs, if the orchestra would practice some other time when other classes would be in session? The very thought is horrifying! (Orchestra members, please do not take offense, for the members of the typewriting classes are in the same category.) The auditorium is most popular with girls during the fourth hour Some boys are present, it is true, hut most of them are drawn there by the magnetic influence of some member of the opposite sex. The auditorium furnishes him a good opportunity for companionship with his better half, who is sometimes also the bigger half. The strangest thing about some of the students in the auditorium is that some of them do not come in to listen to the music but instead make the auditorium their study-hall. Some are always to he seen with tablets and pencils in their hands, working on some assignment. Others arc busily engaged in reading text-books just as blissfully as if they were in Paradise listening to the angelic strains of harps. There is, of course, no harm done but we may dare to suppose that an individual like that must live next to a boiler-factory that employs three shifts working night and day. If not that, we may conjecture that either one of his sisters is a beginner on the piano or that his brother is taking vocal lessons. One hundred thirty-one Some few persons there are who come to the auditorium merely to give an impression of high culture and an appreciation of music. But this attempted sham is nothing more than conceit. To this class of persons Sing Sing would mean a lullaby. And now I come to the real music-lovers. The real music lover is the person who can maintain the rhythm of the music by keeping time with the chewing-gum in his mouth. It is a wonderful sight to see these persons. especially girls, chew yum with precisely the same rhythm, as if they were doing exercises in unison in the gymnasium. The orchestra plays a lively march and then the chewing gum flies. When the orchestra plays an exceed- ingly dramatic selection, a grave tragedy occurs among those who chew. The music is rapid and tierv. Suddenly there occurs a pause in the music. Those chewing gum have their jaws wide open due to the abrupt stop. Then, suddenly impelled by the law of gravitation, the upper molars crash down upon the lower ones and the gnashing of teeth is heard. This chewing of gum explains why so many of the students take the same seats day after day. After each orchestra rehearsal the gum is deli- catelv removed from the mouth and snugly tucked away under the seat. so. of course, the next day the student must obtain the same seat. There is no objection to parking gum on the seat of a chair provided it is placed on the bottom and not on top. Tn conclusion we say, Music hath charms.
