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.

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?

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
