Miss B:itton and Miss Glasses as teachers. Occasionally Miss Hirsbrunner did tap us over the fingtr with a rulei; or made us stand on the floor during a reading recitation heV cause we Were so interested in a picture in our reader that we did not know the place when it Was our turn to read, but we now knnw it was only for our own gondl The eight pupils remaining that were With us in the fi'st grade and are not with us at present, I shall speak of very briefly. They are: John Upp. who left us this year, is becoming a Very popular clerk in Smith dc ansonls clothing store.. Mattie Bryan left us in the fourth graile.

Florence Kinney left us in the sev- enth grade t3 gn to Long Beach, Culit fornia. She is a member of the junior class there. In the second grade we had two new members, Rachel Randolph, who was bright enough to skip the first grade, and Gordon Graham, whom We all so well remember by the praise of Flam Thomas. Gordon let 115 in the fourth grade and is now residing in Lafayette being a member of the junior class there. In the third grade we had five new members respectively: Archie Craig, Dishex' Hul'ilesty, Math cus Settles, Leah Clark and Clarice Davis.

How well we remember tour fifth grade teacher Mrs. Royse entering the schuoi room saying: ltbon join , infants, nnd- 0111' rapid, faltering response of tthan jour, Madame. Mfuy Sinclair, our sixth grade teacher cannot soon be forgotten. How we do appreciate her patience in teaching us that 7x8 is 56 and not 5-1. We were glad to have the brilliancy of our chiss in- creased by Mary M. Taylor. Those joining us in the seventh grade were Rex Cannick, of 0012mm, Wilma Lineheri-y, of the C oss Roads schnol, and Lawrence Biaty, of Nyesville. Last but not least in the gi'mle school were Mrs. Coffey's earnest efforts to help us all to get one hundred in physiology and reading in the April finJl exnmir nations. Kenneth Hockmun and Roy Stoops joined us that yoni-i Our freshman year is not easily for- gotten.

JOSEPHINE BURNETT, 26. LINCOLN, THE STORM KING Abraham Liucnlu Was born in H mm: log cabin when, we, are told; 3 Ken- tucky blizzard Was raging withoul. Throughout his life this quietsincerc man was surrounded by stormsidn- mastic sto ms and storms of strife; but throughout them all, Lincoln was the victorgthc Storm King. The Wurld into which he entered could scarccly he culled a friendly one. It was a world where physical prowess Wns rated shove mental uequirements. Nor did Lincoln's father differ from this in his views. Indeed, had it nut D091! For his mother, the young Ken- tuckyiun 6011M hardly hoped to have been more than :1 physical giant. But first, because of her personal help, and later, by the influence of such memor- ies of her as he had, he was encouraged to evev seek a better education. So, heeause of his father's demands, Lincoln Was developvd physicallyY and because of his mother's encouragement, mentally. One of the saddest and best known American love stm'ies is that of Abra- ham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge. It was especially ha d for him to lose his promised wife at the time When he did-, hecause he was discouraged about busi- ncss problems. Again his qulliti's as :1 Storm King prevailed and Lincoln struggled on. A few years later, he Was married to Mary Todd. She was a great social leader and probably helped her rail- splitting husband to gain his social p0- THE HOOSIER FIVE sition. Even With her help Lincoln's home was not without its sadness, for, after he was President. his son Thomas or tthxd , as he was called, died. But still the courageous President did nut shirk his duty to his country. Politically, Lincoln Was firm. A17 though it lengthened his climb up the political ladder, he openly declared hilly self against secession and slavezy, early in his political careei: It might truth- fully he said thnt he never wavered in his conviction, for he preached his prins ciplos 0f unti-slavery mud n firmly unit- ed gavernmeut until the whole nation practiced them. Another great storm in Lincolnts life was the War of Secession. One less strong could not have endured the strain. The, rail-splitting had not been without its good effects, Even though he was disappointed by friend, as well as foe; the conqueror of storms was undaunted and led his country sufely through the conflict Probably the biggest factors of our nmrtyreil President's success were his faith in God, and his memory of his mother. In his speeches uml Writings, there are fauna so many Bibiezil exV pressions that they lead one to believe that he was a diligent Bible student. His reverence for his mother is shown in his statement, tiAll that I am 01' all that I ever hope to be, I owe to my angel motherF Although Lincoln did not live to em i joy his success, the memory of tho tiGreat Storm King Will live forever with the American peopleJ whom he served 50 faithfully and well. MURDELL VAN HUSS, y26. C. M. T. C . The four letters, C. BI. T, C. stand for Citizens Military Training Camp, :1 good place to spend a month during the com- ing summer learning lessons in good citizenship and other useful things. Governor Jackson, of Indiana, en- dorses the movement in the following words; nI have always been in favor of this movement, and I am thoroughly con- vinced that the discipline and training received the:e in the camps, is valuable. I wish to, hereby, endorse this pro- gram. I fully expect Indiana to be Well rep- resented in these camps, as she has been in former years. These words of Governor Jackson well repaesent the views of the leading men of the csuntl'yi I am sorry to say that our State, at the present, is far he- hind the other States of the corps a:ea in its quota of men. This Will never do; we must meet our quotm Last year something like 35,000 at- tended these camps in the country. In our corps area over 4J000 were at Camp Knox, the camp for this meg, of which 1,300 were from Indiana, but this year we have only Ll little better than 500 applications so fru: This is not 61 third of what is Expected of us. What are we going to do about it? Are we going ta allow the other States to keep ahead of us as they nl'C now? Not duly is the View Of having your State well :eprescnted, but the personal Vniue of receiving this training, free of charge, should draw your attention and serious thinking To give an idea of the work, an ordinary dayis program is as follows: 5:30eGet up and out at revele.

SIX THE HOOSIER lecture or work in the afternoon If, however, on the range firing, there is no drill. One should not gn expecting a good, soft time. There is WO'k about it, and the one not wishing to do a little work must stay int, home to keep out of the way. There are amusements such as moving pictures every evening at a-ioW price. The C. M. T C. is divided into four courses, the Basic, Red, White mid Blue. No military training is required to enr fer the basic course. The only require- ments are the quilifiention of being a male citizen of the Uiiitea States and to be or have attained the age of sev- enteen by Jununry 1, 1926 This year the camps for this area are hehl at Fort Harrison, Indiana, and Camp Knox, Kentucky. The county chairman is Mr. John M. MeFaddin. ABILITY OF THE JUNIORS Who said the jhniors had no ability? The juniors, at least, give themselves credit of having quite :1 bit of that quality. And wouldn't you other classmen be proud to have as many representatives on the basket ball team as We have? Also the captain of the team is a member of our class. tWhy we:e We honored, When we help ed to give the HChristmas: Party? We were glad you liked it. Then there are our musicians. In both the orchestra and the band we have delegates from our junior class. Oratory is, also, among our talents. We have one or two powerful craters and other valuable speakers from Miss Wardis Public Speaking class. The jur niors are proud to say that the winner of the Lincoln essay is a junior. We have good salesmen in our class as illustrated in ticket sales in the Hoosier contest teven though we 105D And isnt the business manager of the Hoosier a juniur? Also, other juniors help hold the Hoosier staff together. Among other gifts we have those peo- ple who can mnke men Make notice We have talented artists in the class, besides girls whose evoking makes one imagine himself at 3 Rings table. We, also, have a poctress among our ranks whose value is not worthless. There are many brilliant students among the juniors, mid we expect che eiul of then! to become P;esidonts, or hold some other high offices after they have gi'uduntah from old R. H. S. hVP fully expect the first woman President of the United States to be some girl from this class. ' We have heard that the seniors fear thorn will be ravens tion. Do not get :Ihn'med seniors, he- cgmse when the juniors start working, they work. After the reception, you Will probably appreciate us more. Do not blame us fm- being p.0ml of ourselves or feeling a bit egotistic. 1m junio rsenim' GUESSING CONTEST Remember that anyone guessing who submitted the fuliowing editorial will be awarded by having his picture in the annual issue.

CHAPEL On Wednesday; Mageh 18, Rev, G gs, formerly iof the Roekvilie Christian church, spoke before the High School Assembly Rev. Giiggs is now pastor of the Christian Church of Jamestown, Indinnn, where he is soon to reside The topic of his message was HThe Creseroi-d Puzzle of Lifefi The three words dwelt upon were kindness, Verac- wnd faith, He brought Out the p057 ' of getting the wrong word in our puzzle; for instance, we are apt to get capacity instead of veracity or doubt instead -nt' fnitlg and g0 half way through life before noting our mis- tnke. I .nn sure that everyone obtained something of value from his message. Mr. Griggs has tnlked to 113 times this year and we sineegely regret seve ral that We shall not have the privilege of hearing him again. The members of the thkville High school wish Rev. Griggs the greatest possible success in his new work. MARY ELEANOR SWAIM. A very interesting and impressive talk was given us on April 22 .by the pastor 011 the Christian church, Mr. Cutrell. His message inspired us to HAim High, since everyone who sue- eeeds must have a high ideal to be reached, Various Were given to illustaiten the most impressive being the one which compared Ernest in the Great Stone Faee, to ourselves and the Great Face to Which we should: ever leek, the face of the Christ. comparisons On April 21 the High School was de- lightfully entertained by Miss Alice Butler, who spoke on Various phases of Chinese life Their customs, speech, educational system and their view point towaEd the American people were very interesting. We hope we will have the privilege of henring Miss Butler again soon. FRITZ'S PART Miss Edgeworth, 2111 old maid with ironrgrny hnir and stern blue eyes, was just a slender slip of a woman with an unruly texnpein Stanton Avenue in a little white house which was completely overshadowed by a large g ny dwelling to the right, Where there Iiied an old bachelor whose name Was Mr. Angeli, but to Miss Edg'eworth, he was anything but an angel. He Was, She lived on however, a Very kindly man with twinkling brown eyes and broad feat- most and was esteemed by everyone excepting, of course, Miss Enligeworth. Ever since Mr. Angell had moved in- to the large gray house two years ago, there had been a sort of civil war be tween himself and his neighbor. Even on that first day Mr. Angelhs little dog, Fritz, upon being let out of the car at the front door, had made a dash EIGHT to exploze the regions of Miss Edge- woi'this back yard; where he had raised such a cummotion among the hens that Miss Etlgeworth had come scurrying in. Fligmmtly to their rescue, only to find that they were beset by an ugly little beast which paid about as much attenv tien to hex- commands of ttGet, get, you horrible thing! as to a bug. Finding orders did rm good, Miss Edigeworth had pelted him With numerous small stones tgnthered for such purposesi until he had quitted her establishment with yelps of puiuy which misery on the part of his pet had called Mr. Angell to Miss Edgewol'th's tloor, where he had been assailed by such a. tornado of words, that he secetly vowed he Would keep Fritz :it home, if he had to chain him. ' Things in general, moved on in about the same way with the usual biekerings, until one suhshiny day in June, when Tabby, Miss Edgeworth's bigl dignifieth cat; was interrupted in her orderly bathing by Fritz, Which at first tor- mented her by his short, quick barks, but finding this had no effect, he edg- ed slowly up behind her. Tahbyt un- willing to exert her strength upon such an adversary, scrambled up a plum tree nearby, where by her angry; mews and: the yippings of Fiitz, Miss Edgeworth was brought to the door. So great Was her exasperation that, regardless of all noise, she telephoned Mr. Angell, whn was at home from his office that day. to come and take from her sight and presence that horiible beast. UFm sorry Fritz came here again, he said as soon as he had arrived. AI assure you, I had locked him in his kennelfi Yes, she flared, ttYou look sorry. Kennel! kennel what are these new- fangled dog boxes good for, anyway? Now, When I lived out on the farm With Pa and Ma, when we wanted to fasten a. dog, we just locked him in the THE HOOSIER wnothshed! Besides, we hml- nary a dag like this one! Whyl Maybe Tabbieis constitution is ruined for life. I wish yould just look at her tail, how big and puffed up it is! Oh, dear, to think I canit be protected from my own neighe borsi Well, take your mad pup and go homeJ bein's you camt do anythingiy Mr. Angell went. The next day, while Miss Edgeworth Wis quietly sewing by the window faeA ing the gray housg she was frightened almost out of her wits by hearing from the topmost mum of the gray domicile, two yelps of pain and a long drawn moan as of a dog which was about to die. Forgetting all her resentments of the day befo:e and knowing the owner of the dog was absent, she rushed to Mr. Angcll's home, where after running through many rooms, she finally reached one with a key in its door. Going in her eyes searched eagerly around the room until they lit upon a little heap on the floor. Dropping to her knees, she eximined the body of the little Chg, finding a leg broken. Just then, Fritz, with a little moan, opened his eyes and looked at her with such an expression of gratitude and friendliness that bitter tears of humili- ation swelled up in her own eyes at the memoiy of yesterday. Now, she quick- ly, but kindly lifted 'Fritz from the floor hugged him to her bosom and carried him to her own home, after tenderly binding his leg, she placed him in a soft basket. In the meantime Mr. Angeli had come home and, finding Fritz absent, had hurried to Miss Edgeworthls, fearing for his life; but instead of being greet- ed with angry words, Miss Edgeworth, with a warning to be silent led him to the basket, where Fritz lay, The little dog had just awakened from :1 nap and was gazing with a friendly ex- pression on Tabbie, which returned his glance with an equal amount of friend- THE HOOSIER NlNl'l liness. Miss Edgeworth, with frequent interruptions, had just finished telling Fritzls story when Mr, Angeli said, Pm sure I don't know how to thank you, but if you will help a bit, Fritz and I Will go home.,7 NNO, Illdtedl you wont! she replied. ttWhy, I woulllnlt think of moving Fritz for six weeks. You just stay for a bit of supper. PM have it in a jiffyfl So Mr. Angell, with a wink at FritzY accepted the invitation and stayed to an alzlufashioned supper like Ma used to cock out on the farm. DOROTHY JEFFRIES. MOTHEIPS DAY tJust think, Betty, tomorrow is Motlr erls Day and I havenlt bought a thing yet and havenlt any idea what to buy. Bob got her candy and Paul sent flowers, and I always get either of these every year. Could you give me some idea? If not, letls run down town and hunt for something. HWellf said Rose, ttI bought mother roses, but Ilm sure I cnn't give you any new idea, so letls see what we can find, at the stores. Little Margaret Daley, but nine yeu's old, was standing along the sidewalk, where she hadl finislioll sclling her pil- pers, and overhead the conversation between the two high school girls. AfV tor they had moved on down the street a lump rose in the little girl's throat and she said to herself, HI wonder if I could buy anything with this two cents for my mother for Motherls Day! Al- Though I know I should buy a loaf of b:eml for breakfast I've never had the feeling that I suppose goes with giving mother a gift. The next few minutes found little Margaret in a downtown ten cent store examining first this and then that article but everything was either five 01' ten- cents. Several people wondered what a little waif, bareheaded and with a ragged dress on couldv be doing pushing a:aund Ahere and there With such a business- like look on her face. Just as the little girl had about given up hopes of finding a gift to suit her price a box of cards caught her eye, and on examining them she found them to be greetings for Motherls Day, the price being two and three centst She picked one up. The pictuze 0n the front, with a mother praying While her babes were gathered aroundl pleased- her so well that she took it. lS-he paid the clerk and took the small but much valued gift home being care- ful to secrete it under some old books for the night. The next day dawned clear and beau- tiful. Margaret Was the first of the chiltl-i'en to get up. When her motherls back wag turned she slipped the err velope under her plate. As they all sat down to the very scanty breakfast, the mother noticed the envelope. And when she opened it and read the printing, one could see tears dimly appeal- in her eyes. Gath- eJing all her clliltl-ren around her she l'elll to them the Verse written on the card, Which was this: KtAs I havenlt the money to spend, For a gift Ild like to send, I don't know how to make My love for you more clear Than to say I truly love you, Mother dean Then she saill, v'Mai-garet, my child. youlll never know the joy this has brought to me your motherl It lus spurred me into working all the harder for my chilll-x-eu, that my girls may some day be Uloving mothers and my son a wloving father. As Mazgaret went about that Sunday morning delivering her papers she was happier than she had been for a. long time. ttTo think, she said tthow my mother TEN THE HOOSlEl; appreciated :1 two cent gift! I wontlc: if the mothers of the girls that I homwl talking y'estol'duy enjoyed their two 01' five dollar gift anymore than my moth- er enjoyed her gi-eetinglh But if the little newsgirl conlll have read her mothei's thoughts at that 1110- meut she would have known that no mother could have ayprociited n pres ent, no mutter how enstlyjmorc than this mother appreciated hers. LENA OWEN, l27. THE TOURNAMENT AT SHOWDOWN One warm sunny afternoon as I W115 sitting on the porch with nothing to distu'b me but the buzzing 0f the bees, 11mlH being only half conscious of my existence, I fell asleep. I dreamed of a boy, named Student, during his 59, master examinations, bidding farewell to his father, Proud Parent. Student was going to Showdown where he would combat with the powerful il-i-agon, Examination If he overcime Examinar tion successfully he would be raised t3 a more honozable position known as Upper Classman In his pocket, Student carried his faithful weaponJ Pen, loaded with the great fluid of Writing Ink, With which he would poison anrlt, therefore, kill the great Dragon Examination; Student, ul- so, em-iiell with unother great force, Brain, Which Would help hiin in the conflict with the Dragon of Exmuir nation. As he was walking along, he swore Vengeance against persons called Teach: e' 5 who had emisexl him to have to coin- bat with Examinations instead of using an eisiei' method known as Exompr tions. By this time, tudent was nearing Showdown. As he approached, he saw a great building known as the Palace of? Knowledge which enclosed Ithe tourney field. As Student came to the entrance, he him 'History, which thought that this was the plate where he would meet his doom. He felt Honrt Quuke auxl Nerves, which. had seldom fJiled him in time of great trials, begin to weaken. With the nivli of Tremendous Effort he pulled him- self together and entei'ctl. -Stndent found the place divided into small sections CallPll desks, since there were more than he who were to 0V01 come dragons of :1 similar nature. At one end of the field, stood Teacher. Up- on reiching her he Sam, ttI am ready for the conflict Waste no time that I may soon have it uveiz So saying he re- turned Pen to its proper position Teacher then explained to Student that the Dragon 0f Examinations had four heads, History, French, English, aml Geometry, all of which had to be cut off before the powerful Dragon 0f Examinations was conquered. Touch- ei', also, warned Student against elll' plvying Cheating, a veiy common meth- not friends to and were not cupihle of overcoming Examinations by Yen and ml to those who were Exemptions . Brnin. Aftur this Student was shown to his desk, where he found the fierce Drngr on of Examinations in a cage. Teacher then opened- the doorJ and Examination stepped fJI'Hl with its four heads, from which issued fite in the form of QuesV tions. Student, at once drew Pen and summoned Brain to nation. Both started in on FrenchJ the first head to issue froni the door. dill Pen conflict, for French Was too much for Brain which was suffering from a terrible disease called Lack of Knowledge Finally, after a hard con- flict with French, the head withdrew with only four questions EODqliEl'edi Much bewildered over the outcome, with Frencln Student started in on W15 overcome without But all in vain much difficulty. Next Student laid siege to Geometry THE HOOSIER ELEVEN and having to use o weapon which had been disubied- in the conflict with French, Student wus finally overcome by Gerrmetel'y. Visions of in. person called 'Failul'e began to take place in Studentk mind mid his, alieady shatv tereiii spirits sank lower and loweri As Student was resting after the con- flict with Geometery, Teacher ap proached with a much.neetlied person, Encouragement. Student then took up the battle anew with English, and after a long and desperate struggle, duiug which Pen was greatly worn And Brain greatly taxed, English was overcome and Studentis spirit was again restored. Then Student wiped the Sweat from his brow and sought TeaehtV On 5111'7 veying his work, Teacher produced a card called Report Card on which she recorded three victories and one failure. Not until this time did StuR-ent really know what a benst Failure isY and with lugging footsteps he returned home, cariying the spoils to P.0ud Parent. FRED MCNORTON, '26. THE MYSTERY OF THE! TWIN HOUSES A large white house was located upon a hill about two miles from a large city. The house was surrounded by large maple trees aml the Walks were nicely graveiedt On the north side was a lover 1y ohivfnshioned garden. This house wns shunned by all, since it had a reputation of being haunted. Fm- ahout two months, young people who hml gone new the house disupr peni'ed. The house was known as the Mysterious House. A wealthy family lived near the Mysterious House, and in ti'is family were two daughters zuid one son, One daughter had light curly hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. She Was small and dainty. Her name was Carolinei The other daughter had dark wavy hair, brown eyes, and a fair compiexicn. Her name was Wynona, but site was usually called Wyn by her family and friends. The son hudt black hair, inclined 16 Wave, black, mischievous eyes and :1 medium complexion He always delight- ed in teasing Caroline Who wept if he teased her for any length of time His name was Pendleton, but everyone call- eil him Penn, excepting his mother, One day Wyn came down the massivo stairs diessed iii a tweed knicker suit and, of course, sport shoes. She had a small sport hat pulled down met her curlst Penn had descended a few min- utes before: dressed in tweed clothing. He had tried to persuade Caroline to go with them, but she refused, saying she had an important engagement Wyn came in and said, ttPenn, if wake going we had better start now.H They left, and at the foot of the hill paused to look at the house an its sum- mitt i'Letis explore. Nothing exniting has happened here for ages, Wyn exclaim- ed-i USuits me, Penn answered. They walked up the hill between the maples. rWhy! I-I believe we are hcwitehed. It didn't seem to take long to .Wulk up the hill and this house looks like a fairy palace, but it is entirely too big for that, Wyn said wonderingly. t'Wynmm, what has come over you? If you were Caroline I wouldnit think anything of your talking of fJil'iCS. But , and he amm finish, although the silence was loaded with meaning. Wyn laughed goodrhumomrlly and walked to the door Where she waited for him. She opened the door and went into a large, simply furnished hull, Penn followed her and said, ttGosh, I donit see anything spooky about this housefi Neither do I, Wyn agreed. ttI TWELVE think it is a lovely house. Do you still think fairies inhabit it? Penn asked, with u twinkle in his eye. Hardly, Wyn laughed, ttbut neither do giants? They walkedi down the hell to the second door on the right. Penn opened the door and went in. The room had a book ease at the right of the door. Chairs were scattered around in dis order. On one side was a double door opening on a porch which looked like a balcony. Near the double doors was :1 radio, KtOh, Penn, p1eahc tune in, Wynn exV lluimed. HI doubt if it will Work, but I will tiyf Penn told her. He got some good danre music and, regardless of the small rugs on the floor, they danced.

He tohl his parents, who became much agitated. Suddenly Mrst Temple picked up n newspaper and pointed to an article.

They sent for Miss Sanford who would arrive Wednesday. During' this time Penn wandered around without finding anything to amuse him, while the others were nearly as diistractedi At last Wednesday dawned and Miss Sanford came on the morning train. Penn and Caroline met her at the stae tion. Miss Sanford, to all appeamnces, was a dear friend of Carolinets. She was dressed in a stylish gray traveling suit and a small hat, pulled down over the dark, bahbetl curls. She was fair with Very rosy cheeks, and a charming smile that showed well formed white teeth. Her eyes Were dark blue. She entered the car and they were gone. Before they an'ived at the large mansion, she hari- Jenrnul most of the facts and had outlined a plan. She was to stay at the Temple home as a guest, since she thought she could WOl'k unnoticed, She had Pennis promise to help her explore, but Caroline coulth be persuaded to accompany them. That afternoon Rose Sanford sent for two plain clothes men She and Penn explored the grounds of the Mysterious House but no Blue was foundi idetectivest At dinner Rase was dressed in a pale green, filmy gown. She talked and laughed as if there wasWt a care in the world. Mr. and Mrs. Temple couldn't force themselves to laugh because they felt their loss too keenly. After dinner, Rose picked: up a book and went to the large veranda where she turned on a small reading lamp and began to read. She became so interested that she did THE HOOSIER THIRTEEN not notice a tall mun come, upon the veranda. Suddenly the book was taken from herhundvand a voice said, uDon't, I want that book. I know who you are and why you came, but you must he cautions,U Rose was st: tletl. The man was gone before she could speak, Soon after the othezs EJmC, but she did mention the incident to nnymle. The morning she promised to hate Wyuona back by Sunday night. She told them noteto 100k for her unless she hadlft culled, 01' returned by Elt- urday afternoon, She then left. scl'enm. not next On Friday a party of three had gme to the house and hadn't icturned. Early Saturday morning the tele- phone rang, which Caroline unswereJL Rose had called to tell them she was safe and wanted them to come to the mysterious House at seven that night. The clock ticked the lust mnute be- fore seven, us they walked upon the tar mnda of the Mysterous House. Rose met them and tonk them into the same room into Which Penn and Vt'yn had gone. There were two midJIe-aged men whom Rose introduced as Mr. Angel and Mr. Sands, both plain cluthes men . Penn noticed that Rose zxetcd differ- ently than she had on Thursday, but he supposed the change, was due to her work of the last two days. The radio was in working order so Penn tuned in Rose was sitting- ank-fashjtm, on some cushions near the door. She was answering their questions, when the I100;- flew open and the book which the tall man had taken from her, landed at her feet The door shut again She opened the book and found a two dollar bill.

At the tmnsom appeared the head of a man wearing a hat. The crown of the hut was hidden Sudaeuly two more faces appeared, the three formal stair steps. Caruline sneamed. Rose seemed frightened. The three faces Vanished but a taunting laugh was heard, Rose jumped up run?- thl'ew open the door, but no one was there. Mr. Ansel moved his chair nearer the door. He intended to be ready for any , nhseut- inaetuy. HI too astonished to thing else that might happen. Rose moved nearer to the double dom'si Suddenly :1 peculiar yellow light flashed from the loud speaker and over the dials 0f the radio, Almost instant- ly the music stnpped. Rose looked at the rndio, had one dial nearly offt She declarcd that she could hem- music faintly. During this time one of the double doors, had disappearetl, and the other lacked about four inches of closing the opening. Mr. noticed that it wasnit shut so he went to remedy it. He pushed the door open and looked out upon the balcony, He noticed that the twin house across the valley on the wings of the silent night Dance music also floated to the people in the Mys- terious House which Sands While this was being noted, Mr. S:111ds stood nt the door. As 'he started to turn, the other half of the door rolled smoothly along :1an nearly caught his nose, which was l'nthel' long anyway. The door stopped within an inch of his nose He looked so bewildered that the others had to laugh. Mr. Ansel had tipped chair back, but when he laughed he placed his chair on all of its legs. Mr. Sands opened his mouth to make an angry retort but changed his FOURTEEN THE HOOSIER his mind and laughed heartily. In an pcal'ance he was tall and slender. He had a slim face which was intensified by his long nose. Mi'.Ansellaughing1y remarked, t'I hnve told you to watch out for your nose.

Then said in a stage vrhisp'i' to Mr. Temple, I can't think of fill t1 told you so' about him. At that Mr. Ansel shoepish. They were beginning to get restless after twn hours of waiting. No one could think of anything to say M: Ansel movichl this qhair, as Caroline was walking across the room, a trap door opened at her feet. She screamed and steppel buck, nearly knoeking Mr. Temple down. She Was plucetl- in a chair near Mrse Temple, who was ntarly as f:ightened as her duughter. When Caroline svroamcd, Rose had started toward her; but, seeing that she wasnit needed, she returned to her chair. HI wish somothing would hnppen. I am getting restless, Rose exclaimed as she snuntcred- aimlessly about the room. My .Sunds moved his and a tap door opened in front of Rose. She jumped back, nearly falling small rug. No sooner had that trap dom' shut until another opened. Six trap doors opened in sucressinn, then Rose 9X- clnimed, pointing her finger at Mr. Sands. ttMovc ynur chair, please! please! you, e causing it.7y He looked bewildered, but moved his chair and the twp doors remained shut. The sound of music and laughter burst upon the waiting group.

She laughed and began speaking, g'The double doors are work- ed by electricity, as are the trap doors.

Mr, Temple looked at his wife, then at Rsse, and asked 11alting1y,tKWhere is VVyu? ttShe has bceu in the twin house, Rose answered. t'How did she get there?

Vile always thought that Frances and Virginia would do the Very best of Work. We were somewhat disappointed in the next stone; for Roy Stoops had a big fake sideshow act with Veul Broth- ers, Carnival. We uanys expected Roy to he .1 respectable farmer, hut thunk ell goodness that he wzts still alive. Josephine tBurncttl Beutty vlid just us We expected, for immediately after graduation, she and Shurley we:e marr ricd, tmd she is now leading a very happy married life in the city of Bridgeton. V lNe Were harllly satisfied with the next scene, for Bertha Smisenbaugh and Margaret Baker hail pilehasetl a small farm and were living a Very peaceful oltl maidti life, Claude Sapp was their hired man. tClaude always seemed to have a strong liking for the ladiesj We always thought that Margaret and Berr the would do more wozk for the coun- tryls benefit than to farm. Looking further, we found that DoroA thy Jeffries antli Murdell VanHuss were in Hollywood taking the important parts in all the leading pictures. It seemed that they had written letters uf application to the film pmducer of Holy lywood, letters which so impressed him that he decided to give the girls a tryrout. As we have said before, they were Very successful. We Were satisfied to fimli that Ken: neth Hockmzm was making a very good living for himself mill his wife, selling buggy Whips ou the street corners of Chicagoi We always predicted a wonde:fnl fu- ture for Rex Carmack, and can now easily say that our predictions were correct, for he now owns one of the largest tlrug stores in Sand Creek. Reading on we found that Weaver Miller antli Fred McNortau had had wonderful success, for they had pur- THE HOOSIER chaseil Chespeake Buy and were the largest oyster sellers in the world. Fred is not mui iwl, but sl101tly Lifter lcuw ing R. Hi St, W'cm'er united in nmri'izxge with Miss Ella lummings. We were very much surprised at this incident, hut We believe that lVeuver will always make a very good husband. Vllulter Burfonl-J one of 0m anil: notable ElftSSlanbCl'S, failed our expecr tntions, for, after his iiiarring'e il'ith ll certain lass, he Was heartbroken and retired to a desolate cottage in the county of the South Seas and refused tn see any of his former classmates. It is said that one duy, when so very lonely, he wrote a sad poem, called :tPnradise Lostill Julia Lloyd 11ml Miry Fryhetg'er were starting a chain of beauty parlors all over the United States, for it seemed that each of the girls had won, at lert, two contests, and, no doubt, their busi- ness will be pronounced a success. We always expected the following of Mary Taylor, Who immediately after graduation, united in marriage, nnd is new Mrs. Frushour. John Henderson Was making Wonder- ful wages washing dishes in n large hotel at Catlin, We think John lenrnell this trade while we were in our junior year at R. H. S, and served lunthoons to make money for the juniorrseninr reception. Emmett Baker and anzence Benty were coaching two of the strongest basket ball teams in Indizumt From all indications of the past, we knew that Emmett and Lawrence wouhl always support athletics. Clifford V1111 LElH' dill not surprise us at all, for he is married. and niztkes mm of the very best of husbands. He is, also, an excellent fnzmer. VVo will now surprise you, for Keith Ohaver 111d Clyde Spaw are experts in the Art of Penmanship We were as- tonished by this, because it had never r THE HOOSIER NINETEEN dawned upon rs that some people could improve so much, VVilmn. Lineberi'y Was manager of Woolworthls jewel y department at Mansfield. We always thought Wilmui had :1 great liking for beautiful jewr 8113'. All through our reading we had been wondering why so many of our former classmates had left Rnckville, but when we rezul that Marie Hay tMu'isl wzls residing in Marshall we knew the Lib cumstances were such that ltFiz could not come to Rockville, so, of course, Marie went to Marshall, We were certainly overjoyed to find that Margmet Laney aml Mary Frances Stryker Were both happily married; for we always thought that they would be old maids like ourselves. We have not been able to find with whom Miss Stryk- ei- united in marriage, but Miss Laney mmtied a prosperous business man of Wavelnudi W's know you will all be pleased, when we tell you that Leon Brown is one of the richest men in Indiana. Leon, :is most of you know, vowed, While in high school, that he would never marry a girl who took any part in politics. Of course he tliil-nlt mnny, and prob- ably it is best that he didnlt, for he lwechme u cn:penter null made beds in a hotel until he made his fortune. We never once dreamed that Ernest Frcml would become what he dinli, fnr now Ernest is a dancing teacher in Australia. He always had such striking mu's With the ludits of America, that lo dCt'lllell to go to Australia, anti, of course, he left many ladies with broken hearts.
