Sheridan High School - Syllabus Yearbook (Sheridan, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1929 volume:

I Dedication To the Merchants of Sheridan, who, by their whole-hearted cooperation and zealous endeavor, have made this yearbook possible, we, the Senior Class of Sheridan High School, respectfully dedicate this annual. SYLLABUS T) New School Building 7Z i SS I ' v A r Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! —Holmes. The School Building For several years the people of Sheridan have been talking of a new and modern school building. The old structure was sadly in need of repair and each year it grew more so. The pupils of Sheridan high school were not favored with advantages. Some of the class rooms were dark and others were insufficiently lighted. Athletics were handicapped more than any other phase of the school life. The football field was approximately a mile from the building. As there was not a suitable gymnasium in or near the schoolbuilding basketball was abandoned. The controversy over a new structure was at last partially settled however. In the early hours of the morning January 30, 19.28 the residents of Sheridan were aroused from sleep by the shrill blast of the fire whistle. The fire had gained headway and it was impossible to save anything. Much valuable material and many records were lost. The old building was erected in 1895, but after the attendance had increased sufficiently the structure was remodeled. This building was inadequate as the standards for Indiana high schools were rapidly climbing. Nevertheless, the old structure was used for thirty-three years. In a day or two after the disastrous fire, school was resumed. The eighth grade was taken to the large room in the City Hall. Provided with chairs and tables as desks, Mr. Martin carried on his classes. The high school problem was not so easily solved, however, the basement of the Farmers Bank has been used for science and the K. of P. Hall together with the Red Men’s Hall have been used for the other classes. During the first year, the large room in the Red Men’s Hall was used as an assembly for those who wished to do their studying at school. This year, seats were put in and every one in class is required to report there. The new building will be located in the east end of town. It will be beyond White avenue, between Second and Fourth streets. When completed it will be a three story structure of brick and cement. The front will face the west, with a center entrance. The ground floor will be used by the high school and will contain laboratories for chemistry, physics, domestic science, and manual training. The flooring for the entire building will be cement, while the stairs are to be Standard Steel stairs. The first floor will be used for the grades. The center of the floor will be used as a community room and six class rooms will be built around this. The community room will be used as a gymnasium by the high school and also for community purposes. It will have a seating capacity of two thousand, the seats being arranged around the sides of the room. There will be a stage at one end with locker rooms on each side. As you enter the building there will be an office and waiting room to the left and a teacher’s room and medical room to the right. There will be washrooms and dressing rooms with showers on this floor. The second floor will be used by the high school. A large assembly will extend across most of the front of the building. Other rooms will be a room for bookkeeping, a classroom for the commercial department, library and washrooms. All classrooms and the assembly are outside rooms and will be well lighted. The corridors will be arranged around the community room. Roy Bryant, who recently finished a building at Danville, Indiana, has contracted the work here. A new football field will be made back of the new building. This will be much more convenient than the present one. It is hoped by the students that the new building will be completed for use by next fall. ■ to FACULTY Arnold Harris Township Principal A. B. Indiana University University of Iowa. Juliet S.

S. is comparatively new. Four of them have been here two years, while the other three are just finishing their first year. Mr. M. A. Copeland came here from Edinburgh, Indiana. As principal of the high school, he proved himself very efficient. He received his B. S. degree at Purdue University and is now a candidate for the Masters degree in Columbia University. Mr. Copeland came prepared to teach a number of subjects; the ones he taught were Government, Economics, Sociology, Geography, and Commercial Arithmetic. Miss Ressler’s home town is Cambridge City. Leaving her high school she attended Indiana Normal at Terre Haute, Here she took her A. B. degree and later taught in three schools before coming to us. She taught English and Public Speaking, but is also qualified in Latin and Botany. She took extension work at Earlham and Indiana University. The last of our new teachers is Mr. Arbogast. Coming from Illinois, where he attended Illinois Wesleyan he entered Indiana Central. Here he took his A. B. degree and returned to Arrowsmith, Illinois to teach. Before coming to S. H. S. he studied Music at Indiana University. “Arby”, as he is commonly called, teaches Science, Health and Commercial Geography. Now we come to the remainder of the faculty, the ones who have been here the longest. Mr. Fletcher came from Shelbyville to Butler, where he proved his athletic ability. While in college he made two letters in basketball and three in football. He then took a course in Coaching at Illinois University. He has completed his second successful year at S. H. S. Coach Fletcher has done much to build up the spirit of the team. He also teaches English and Health, and is prepared in History. Miss Haverkamp is from Indianapolis. After leaving Manual Training High School she attended Butler University. Here she took her A. B. degree. Miss Haverkamp teaches Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, and is qualified in English. Mrs. Hershman came to us from Boxley, where she taught Latin and History. Her home was in Richmond, Indiana and there she graduated from Earlham, with an A. B. degree. Later she took more training at Indiana University. Although she teaches nothing but Latin she is prepared in History, English and Sociology. Mr. Bennett came from Boxley High School, too. He received his training at Central Normal and Indiana University. He has just completed his second year of teaching in S. H. S. Mr. Bennett teaches History, Civics and last year had a class in Commercial Law. Mr. Chas. M. Carter of Arcadia is Sheridan’s Music teacher. He conducts classes once each week in the grades and twice each week in the High School. He is in charge of the band and orchestra classes and conducts a Northern Hamilton County Orchestra. Mr. Carter received his musical training in the Metropolitan School of Music.

M_____________I - Senior Class History, 1 929 In the fall of ’25, seventy-five queer little folk came up the walk of the old school building. Even if we had been there before we seemed lost. Soon with Miss Teter and Mr. Kingsolver as our sponsors we elected officers: President, John Newby; Vice-President, Byron Stout; Secretary-Treasurer, Rosemary Bradfield. The year passed with little excitement, for we had few social activities. The next year we chose Miss Teter as our sponsor and elected officers: President, Byron Stout; Vice-President, Martha Haskett; Secretary-Treasurer, Rosemary Brad-field. This year we donated enough money to help buy some sweaters for football. Mr. Bradley was very generous and let us have three parties, only to have our refreshments stolen at the first one. Then we became juniors. With Mr. Bennett as our sponsor we again chose executives. They were: President, John Newby; Vice-President, Tom White; Treasurer, Rosemary Bradfield; and Secretary, Horton Aldred. We saved our money and put on a play successfully. This enabled us to give a Junior-Senior Banquet. Now we are seniors on the last lap. With Mr. Copeland at the helm, we elected officers: President, Harry Dillon; Vice-President, Tom White; Secretary-Treasurer, Martha Haskett. This year we published our Syllabus and put on a play. We were handicapped a year and a half by the burning of our school house but we struggled on. We hope we have set a good example to the future classes and wish them success. As Sam lay tossing on the couch, he was tortured by grievous thoughts. He moaned faintly and flopped over on the other side, seeking relief but still his thoughts teased and goaded him. Why, oh why, had he been sent from her presence ? What had started all the trouble, anyhow? Couldn’t she see that he was wild over her, even if he had only met her four months ago? Oh, how his head ached! As he ground his teeth a terrible pain seared his head. He moaned more loudly this time and wondered how long it would take him to die. He could never go back now; that much was certain. After being dismissed in the shape he was, he could never stand the laughing, and at the same time pitying, glances of his friends. Just when he had begun to attract some attention from her this awful thing had come upon him! He ground his teeth again and cried aloud in his pain. Why had he gone to that old party, anyhow? He knew that he would get into trouble over it, as he had been told to stay at home. Who was it said something about “be paid exactly for what thou hast done, no more no less?” Let’s see—Lowell? Holmes? Whittier? Would his head ever permit him to think again? He groaned very loudly this time. Who was it? Ah, he had it! Emerson, of course! At this point his thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of his mother. She said, “Samuel Allen Delaney, if you want to go back to your Alma Mater this winter you lie still and go to sleep.” Now the secret is out. Sam had been sent home from his beloved college with the Mumps! —Lois Stewart. The Measure Of A Man The test of a man is the fight he makes, The grit that he daily shows; The way that he stands on his feet and takes Fate’s numerous bumps and blows. The crowd can smile when there’s naught to fear, And nothing his progress bars;, But it takes a man to stand up and cheer, While some other fellow stars. It isn’t the victory after all, But the fight that a man makes; The man, who, driven against the wall, Still stands erect, and takes The blows of fate, with his head held high, Bleeding and bruised and pale, Is the man who’ll win in the by and by, For he isn’t afraid to fail. It’s the bumps we take, and the jolts we get, And the shock that our courage stands; The hours of sorrow and vain regret. And the prize that escapes our hands, That test our mettle, and prove our worth, It isn’t the blows we deal, But the blows we take on this good old earth Which prove that life is real. —Glenola Dell.

Junior History We were enrolled as freshmen, forty-eight in number. We were talked of by sophomores, pitied by juniors and certainly not envied by seniors. All forty-eight of the class started tugging up the path to success, eager to learn and to push ever forward. The sponsor, Miss Vera Palmer, served us well. James Kercheval was elected president and Kenneth Boone, secretary and treasurer. Our class, like other beginning classes, failed financially but made a good impression on the minds of our teachers and the public. One of our class members won a scholarship letter and many others had their names on the Honor Roll. Three members of our class made letters in athletics: Childers, a football letter and Hammond and Boone, track letters. In the fall of ’27 we enrolled, forty-five in number, as sophomores. Stella Rigby was elected president, and Maurice Johnson, secretary and treasurer. Miss Wanda Haverkamp was class sponsor. She served us very successfully. A scholarship letter was again awarded to a member of our class, Kenneth Boone. We also had three members, Hammond, Childers, and Kercheval, who received football letters, and four letter men among the thinly clads. At the county track meet, members of our class won five of the eight medals received by Sheridan. The men receiving the letters and medals were Boone, Hammond, Childers and Foster. We also had members on both relay teams. We started with forty-three in the fall of ’28. We looked and acted as Juniors should. The class had a lot of responsibility, with the Junior play, “The Ghost Bird,” and the Junior-Senior banquet on hands. Finances were handled carefully under the supervision of our class sponsor, Miss Kathleen Ressler. James Kercheval was again elected president, and Harold Godby, secretary-treasurer. These officers and other members of the class helped to increase our bank account in various methods, such as a stand at football games, the mock trial, and by class dues. The call for football men was well responded to by the juniors and six of them made letters. These six were: Moore, Hammond, McMurtry, Wright, Kercheval, and Childers. Childers was the only Sheridan man to make an all-state team. He was also elected captain for the S. H. S. squad of ’30. We expect our men to uphold our class reputation this year in track. The class of ’30 looks forward to its Senior year as being very profitable. We bid the Seniors of ’29 farewell and greet the Freshmen of '33. SOPHOMORES TOP ROW—Helen Ak rd, John Dragoo, Iola Miller.

History of Class of 3 1 It was a beautiful autumn day when about fifty green freshmen assembled in the high school of days gone by. What a sight met my eyes! I suppose I shall never see one like it again. Freshmen of all sizes were lined up against the walls of the lower assembly. Not many tricks were played on us, for our good friend, Charles Martin, said that we were an exceedingly bright bunch. The first several weeks, we had a good time playing ball and other games, out on the football field at the high school grounds. The others thought we were surely infants but they soon learned that we we were not. We got lost several times but Professor Kercheval rescued us each time. Finally we came down to earth and called a class meeting, so that we might get organized. We appointed our officers as follows; president, Clair Dean; vice-presidem Mary Newby; secretary-treasurer, Waldo Stout; and Mr. Kercheval and Mr. Fletcher as our sponsors. In October, we had our first freshman party at Carolyn Hinshaw’s. All went well until Christmas, when the high school had a Christmas exchange and then several jokes were played on us. However, we were not alone in this, as many others were lecipients of such gifts. The last semester went better for we were not quite as green as at the beginning of the year. Every one was busy working on things for the “Syllabus.” Our class editor was Velva Abbitt. We had our second party at Delores Fancher’s, in the spring with Mr. Fletcher present. Near the end of school our class and the physics class gave an exhibit showing our work of the year. Our class served refreshments of ice cream cones and candy. Not long after the exhibit our high school building burned. Of course, we were out of school but not as long as we had anticipated. We started in school at the halls and the basement of the Farmers Merchants Bank, but not even this kept us from doing good work. At last the day came when we could no longer be called freshmen. As sophomores, we assembled in the Red Men’s Hall on September 7, 1928 with a new’ principal, Mr. Copeland; Miss Ressler, English teacher; and Mr. Arbogast, Science instructor. Here was a chance to show the freshmen how green they really were and we certainly did. The class had decreased some during the vacation but nevertheless we elected our officers as follows: president, Waldo Stout; vice-president, Clyde Norman; secretary, John Dragoo; treasurer, Iola Miller. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Hershman. We followed the usual course of study. FRESHMEN TOP ROW Carrol Sanders, Jesse Raines. Kenneth Akard, Devaugh Smith, Woodrow McDonald.

SYLLABUS Freshmen History Surely none of the freshmen have been disappointed in high school life. When we entered high school, all of us had high ideals of what life in high school would be like, and though we may not have been satisfied in all of them, we have enjoyed our first year very much. Many of us have vivid memories of the first few days. None of us knew where our classes were, who our teachers were, or when to change classes. Every one was asking one another a babble of questions: “What class was next?”, “Where do we go?”, “Where do I sit?”, “Who has the next assembly?’”, and it went all day long. At our first class meeting we elected Richard Stout, president; Winston Griffin, vice-president, and Frances Davis, secretary-treasurer. All the freshmen hugely enjoyed the pep sessions, snake dance, and football games. Many of our boys came out for football, but Dick Stout and Winston Griffin are the only ones who had the honor of playing in any games. Griffin had his arm fractured in the Carmel game, and was out of school for several weeks. Giving the first freshmen program gave us an opportunity to show the other high school and faculty a few of the things we could do. The freshmen have taken an active part in the Glee Club and the Latin Club this year. We have obtained much experience and pleasure from our good times and class work this year, and we wish to thank the high school students and faculty for helping to make it enjoyable. We intend to take an active part in the high school affairs and help in every way we can to make old S. H. S. a desirable school of which to be a part. The Guiding Light It was late in December. The snow was flying and fluttering on its downward course like small winged fairies. Already everything ugly and unpleasant to the eye was covered by its light fleecy blanket. But not long did it lie in lazy contentment for a raw wind had risen and was exerting its severe force to hurry the flying flakes into drifts which piled higher and higher. It was on this night that a widow and her son sat by a crackling fire in a lowly cottage by a deserted road. There was no strain of happiness in their conversation. The son had enlisted in the war and his mother was very sorrowful but kept her emotions in check like a good patriot. This was their last night together. On the morrow the boy was to take the stage for Portstown, a seaport about fifty miles away. The next day the widow and her son boarded the stage and were whirled away to Portstown. They arrived at their destination about the time the coach, which was to take him north, arrived. The boy hurriedly purchased his mother’s supplies and placed her on the return coach. He then bade her farewell and hastened to his coach. The widow returned to her lonely cottage. Six years passed but the boy never returned to the cottage by the road. He had given his life for his country. Soon the widow died and having no living relation she left the cottage to the elements. Today its doors are sagging and the roof has fallen in. The youthful inhabitants of neighboring farms regard it very fearfully. According to their story there is always a light shining from the lone window of the attic. The sages of the country say it is a light which the widow had placed there to to guide her son home. —Clair Dean. W.-V-' V •_•••; r. Francis L. Hetcher Mr. Fletcher graduated from Butler in ’27 and came to Sheridan that fall. Mr. Fletcher is successful as a coach. His home town is Shelbyvilie. A year ago “Fletcher” started his football season with some twenty men. The season was not without success. He won four out of eight games. This year he played a schedule of nine games, and won seven of them. He has planned a schedule of ten games for next season. While at Butler, “Fletcher” received three letters in varsity football and two in varsity basketball. “Fletcher” has spent eleven years in athletic work. TOP ROW—Francis L.

With splendid weather for football, a large crowd was present to see the Sheridan gridders in action. The first half, which was void of both thrills and scores, ended 0 to 0. The second half opened with the Sheridan team full of pep and determined to score. This was shown in the next few minutes when the Sheridan warriors carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the game. After more argument, which ended to the advantage of the locals, the game ended 19 to 0. Sheridan vs. Shortridge On September 28, the Sheridan warriors gave Shortridge a great surprise, and a very hard fight. The locals went into the game doped to lose, but because of their fighting spirit gained a moral victory. Each team determined to be victorious. The outcome of the game was always very doubtful. In the first half the Sheridan lads carried the ball down to the Shortridge one-foot line. Shortridge, however, gained possession of the ball on downs. The half then ended 0 to 0. The second half was a repetition of the first, with the Sheridan warriors outkicking the visitors. With but a few minutes to play a pass from Billiet to Rose gave Shortridge the only touchdown of the game. The game then ended 6 to 0, with the ball in possession of the Sheridan boys. Sheridan vs. Westfield The Black and White warriors, mindful of former defeat received at the hands of the Westfield warriors, were determined to have revenge by decisively defeating them on October 6, 1928. The day was warm and many people were present. This game drew the largest attendance of the season. The first half was hard fought, with neither side having much of an advantage. Finally the Sheridan warriors gained the upper hand, to score the first touchdown of the game. The half ended 6 to 0. The Sheridan lads came back strong in the second half and ran the score up to 20 to 6. Since the visitors were unable to gain through the Sheridan line, they resorted to forward passes. The Sheridan backs next ran two intercepted passes over for two touchdowns. The game ended with Sheridan in possession of the ball, with the final score: Sheridan 32, Westfield 6. Sheridan vs. Carmel The Black and White warriors had an opportunity to show the Carmel gridders, that Friday 13th is an unlucky day. The game which drew only a small crowd, was played on a dull day. The Black and White warriors did not hesitate to score. After a few plays were run, an off-tackle smash resulted in a touchdown. During a punt, a fumble was caused by the interference of the Sheridan full-back with the Sheridan kicker. Carmel picked up the ball and raced for a touchdown. The first half ended 6 to 6. The Sheridan team came back with their fighting spirit and made another touchdown. The game ended with the score: Sheridan 13, Carmel 6. Sheridan vs. Cathedral The annual home-coming game was played on October 19. A large crowd of people was present, and the high school band paraded before the game. The Sheridan lads were determined to defeat the visitors. The local warriors fought hard, and were greatly rewarded in the first half. Two touchdowns came after a series of line smashes and two completed forward passes: B. Stout to W. Stout and B. Stout to Spidel. The half ended Sheridan 12, Cathedral 0. The visitors came back strong and near the end of the game were able to push over a lone marker. This was the hardest game for the Sheridan team up to this time, with Sheridan winning by the score of 12 to 6. Noblesville vs. Sheridan The local squad journeyed to Noblesville October 26, and succeeded in beating the Millers to the tune of 18 to 0. It was an ideal day and the Sheridan warriors displayed good football. The Fletchermen tore through the Miller’s forward wall for large gains, and completed forward passes that led to touchdowns. At no time was the Sheridan goal threatened. Lebanon vs. Sheridan After a very discouraging season the Lebanon eleven came to Sheridan, with high hopes, on November 2. The local boys did not boost their percentage, as they had different ideas of how the afternoon’s performance should end. The field was very muddy and the weather very disagreeable to all the spectators. Lebanon had a heavy aggregation but they were unable to match football skill and knowledge w'ith the Sheridan team. Sheridan made much yardage but lost the ball frequently on fumbles. The only marker of the game came late in the final period, when the Fletchermen broke through the left side of the line for a forty yard run. The locals failed to make the point and the game ended: Sheridan 6, Lebanon 0. The visitors were coached by “Kip” Parr, former Sheridan football star. Sheridan vs. Washington On November 9, Sheridan journeyed to Washington Park to meet the strong Washington eleven. Since the Continentals had rapidly been gaining in strength, this battle was looked forward to by some of the fans as a hard one. Sheridan received the kickoff and after a poor start finally scored in the initial period. Washington did not penetrate the Black and White defense to any advantage in the first half. However they presented a rejuvenated team in the last half and succeeded in scoring 13 points. Sheridan had scored 14 points on forward passes in the first half and Childers broke loose, running 50 yards for a touchdown. The game ended 20 to 13. This brought a total of seven victories and one defeat, with one more game to be played. Kirklin vs. Sheridan The Sheridan football team with seven victories and one defeat went to Kirklin on November 17, confident of victory. Since the Kirklin eleven had not been defeated during the season they were anxious to show up well in their home town. Sheridan scored in the first few minutes of play. Shortly after that Kirklin scored, tying the count. A penalty advanced the ball to Sheridan’s one yard line and Kirklin put the ball over the line in three attempts for a second touchdown. Sheridan frequently displayed much skill but failed to score during the remainder of the game. Fumbles marred the play of Sheridan and in some instances paved the way for a Kirklin score. The game ended 25-6 in favor of Kirklin. This finished the season for Sheridan, with seven victories and two defeats. 1929 Football Schedule Saturday, Sept. 14 Mishawaka.........................Here Friday, Sept. 20 Martinsville.....................There Friday, Sept. 27 Greencastle.......................Here Friday, Oct. 4 Westfield........................There Friday, Oct. 11 Wilkinson.........................Here Friday, Oct. 18 Cathedral.......................

At the beginning of school this year there was much anxiety aroused as to whether the Senior class would publish the annual Syllabus. After several weeks of discussion we were given permission to do so. The hardest work, the selection of the staff, was yet to come. This was soon accomplished by Mr. Copeland with the aid of the other faculty members. Realizing that the book could not be published without proper funds, we immediately started to work on a vigorous advertising and subscription campaign, our goal being three hundred dollars for advertising and two hundred subscriptions. After a few weeks of hard work we were able to lay aside our financial worries. In the attaining of our above named goal; the staff received the co-operation of the business men, alumni members, and many out of town people. The remaining work, that of getting together the various literary contributions, such as sports, calendar, class will and phophecy, class write-ups and various other things, was portioned out to the various editors of departments. This work was as sembled each Tuesday night and made ready for the printer. In closing we wish to thank all those who helped in getting together and in publishing “The Commercial Syllabus of ’29.” BAND AND ORCHESTRA BACK ROW—Charles Couch, Richard Stout, Richard Wright, James Kercheval, LaMar Henderson, Wanda Spear, Richard McKinzie, Charles Carter, Kathern Hillock, William Kirk, Robert McKinzie, George Osborn, Emily Coddington, Lois Stewart.

Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club was organized in October under the direction of Paul B. Ar-bogast. The officers were president, Rosemary Bradfield; vice-president, Stella Rigby; secretary-treasurer, Martha Haskett; librarian, Lois Stewart. The first public appearance of the Glee Club was December 15, at the Teachers’ Institute at Noblesville. On December 21, at the Community Christmas tree in the Red Men’s Hall the Glee Club sang two selections. The most important event in the Glee Club’s activities was a public concert given at the Mehodist church, March 28, 1929. In addition to the six numbers sung by the Glee Club, special music was afforded by a mixed quartet and a group of piano numbers was played by Mr. J. Lynn Arbogast, a brother of the director of the Glee Club. Boys’ Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club was organized in November. The officers were: president, Byron Stout; vice-president, Harry Dillon; secretary-treasurer, Tom White; librarian, and pianist, Ansel Wallace. The club made its first appearance at the Teachers’ Institute at Noblesville, Decem-oer 15. Next they sang at a Christmas program of the Mite Society of the Methodist ihurch. At both places they were well received. In February an evening’s program was given at the Christian church. A quartet, arganized from the club, sang a group of songs. The quartet was composed of Harry Dillon, Byron Stout, Lloyd McVicker and John Newby. A brass trio was composed of Richard Wright, Ansel Wallace and Richard Stout. Fern Zinser, ’Celliste of the Chicago Civic Orchestra was the assisting soloiste. This program was the first of its kind to be given by the local high school. The boys enjoyed their work very much and wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Arbogast for the interest that he has taken in them. Senior Orchestra The Senior Orchestra is composed of thirty members and is directed by Charles M. Carter. A few members are from Boxley, but most of them are from the Sheridan schools. The first semester is devoted to the practice of comparatively simple music to be used at plays and various entertainments. The second semester the orchestra usually is partially reorganized, and pi-actices more difficult music to be used at High School Commencements and Music Day Programs in the spring. The Sheridan members of the orchestra furnished the music for the Junior’s Mock Trial, which was held January 18. The whole orchestra furnished the music for the Junior and Senior plays, and for the local Commencement. The High School Band was organized by Mr. Carter last year, but took no active part in school affairs until this year. There are thirty-six members in the band. All but two or three are in the Sheridan schools. The first semester the band played easy, but instructive music. The more difficult music practiced the second semester was used on the Music Day programs. Last spring the band was on the Music Day programs, and this year it played for all the home football games with the exception of one. W m o 3 £: t « •. i, C_ HA 5. The Junior Play TOP ROW—Stella Riuby, Alma Barker, Rosalind Hiitbee, Dorothea Dillon, Virginia Reauan. India Miller. BOTTOM ROW Richard Wright. James Kercheval, Paul Childers, Russell Foster. Paul Moore. This is a life-and-death contest of wits between a super crook and a master minded detective. The super crook, known by the name of the Vulture, mysteriously murders his detective enemy. The crime is committed in an isolated farm house, where the murdered man, Brad Buckhart, has been invited by a false friend as chief of a party of guests. Naturally every one in the house falls under suspicion, especially as practically all have a good reason to hate the murdered man. Although the unraveling of the murder mystery is presumably in the hands of a detective, he receives suggestions from a comical correspondence school fool and detective, Tobias Tolliver, who specializes in finger prints and is running over with bright ideas. Though these ideas are scorned, some of them prove to be useful; and in the end it is the “fool” who finds the clue that leads to the capture of the murderer. Thrills and goose flesh are mingled with laughter created by the “fool fingerprint-er.” The cast includes a gabby hired girl, Andulusia Anderson; a brutal, bullying detective, the victim of the Vulture, Brad Buckhart; a pretended French maid, Celeste; a couple in love, Carl Thomas and Katherine Belmont; the drunkard brother of Katherine, Will Belmont; a typical hard boiled detective, Jenkins; and a treacherous, black robed Vulture, Phil Graham. The play, directed by Miss H. Kathleen Ressler with the help of R. Hammond as business manager; D. Griffin as advertising manager, and Chas. McMurtry and his assistant E. Bradshaw as stage managers, was given in very realistic fashion. Football Banquet On Friday evening, November 23, the members of the football squad, their fathers, members of the faculty, and friends of the team were given a banquet by the boys’ mothers, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Newby. F. L. Fletcher, coach, acting as toastmaster, gave a talk commending the team and its splendid work this season. M. A. Copeland, principal of the high school, commended the boys on their sportsmanship during the season and also gave a humorous sketch of how football would be played in 1950. George Osborn, Sr., spoke for the fathers. Other brief talks were made by Captain Tom White and Captain-elect Paul Childers. Paul B. Arbogast accompanied by Miss Kessler, sang two solos which were greatly appreciated by those present. The members of the squad presented William McCarty, a guest, with a pipe and large can of tobacco to show their appreciation for the services he rendered the past season in taking care of their suits and locker room, which was located at the local milk factory. Awarding Letters After a tour of the Western States the football sweaters finally arrived. On Tuesday, January 15, at the beginning of the convocation period, eight seniors were presented with these awards by Mr. Fletcher. He urged that there be more football candidates next fall, and also better support by the student body. The following men were presented with sweaters in the order named: Tom White, Glen Spidel, Byron Stout, Joe Farwick, Lloyd McVicker, Horton Aldred, George Osborn, and Morris Nay. Mr. Fletcher then awarded letters to the following men: Childers, Kercheval, Hammond, W. Stout, Copeland, Moore, R. Wright and R. Stout. In the speeches of some of the seniors they urged that a means be found to award the men who have not been fortunate enough to play the specified amount of quarters for a letter. As this has been agitated for the last few years, it should not be long before this should come to pass. The fellows thanked the school for the sweaters and letters. There were sixteen fellows awarded from this year’s squad. Scholarship Awards Since the school year 1925, it has been the custom to give scholarship letters to those students making a general average for the year of ninety-five per cent, or above. The former science teacher of our school, Mr. F. V. Kercheval, was instrumental in establishing this practice He worked ten years for this one thing before he finally won out in his beliefs. Mr. Kercheval had always held the opinion that school work was more important than athletics and since letters were given for prowess in athletics, they should also be given for good scholarship. There have never been more than seven letters given in one year and the average number is five. Although these letters do not represent a scholarship in a college, they are symbolic of a good scholastic standing. There is a Rector Scholarship, however, given to the boy having the highest general average during his high school career. In the year ’28, Eugene Griffin received this prize and is now attending DePauw. The students who received these awards are not necessarily proverbial “book worms” as maybe ascertained by the fact that Joe Farwick, Waldo Stout, and Byron Stout have each received both athletic and scholarship letters. Those who won letters for the year ’28 are, Waldo Stout, Mary Newby, Kenneth Boone, Byron Stout and Rosemary Bradfield. Public Speaking Public Speaking, which is in charge of Miss Kathleen Ressler, is one of the most interesting classes offered in high school. It is also one of the most beneficial subjects given. Public Speaking teaches the student to use correct English, and to speak it fluently and with poise before the public. The Public Speaking class is a very small one, composed of only nine members: Katherine Clark, Sara Baker, Floyd Hayes, Martha Deakyne, Inez Harbaugh, Julia Marlowe, Mary Deakyne, Roger Fields, and Glenola Dell. Our semester’s work has been very interesting; it included various types of oral work. We dramatized three plays: “The Kelly Kid,” “Moonshine,” and 1 he Exchange.” We worked in groups of three and composed three plays: “Kids Will Tell,” “Waiting For Santa,” and “The Lost Purse.” We later dramatized these plays. Other time was spent in work on oral talks, pantomimes, and the technicalities of public speaking. Taking into consideration, the small number we had in the class and the properties with which we had to work, the semester has been very a successful one. Latin Club ’29 The Latin Club was organized on November 25, 1928 at the Library with Mrs. Hershman as sponsor. At the first meeting Waldo Stout was elected first consul and Russell Foster, second consul. Special reports were given by Stella Rigby on “Roman Officials,” and by Dean Griffin on “Appollo.” A one act play was presented by five of the members entitled, “What’s The Use,” which showed how Latin can be used in the other high school studies. The club meets the last Thursday in every month. The first consul has charge of the meeting, and attends to all business brought up before the club. Any one taking first year Latin or Caesar is eligible. There are one hundred and seven pupils enrolled in the club. Those taking first year Latin are as follows: Kenneth Akard, Mary Baker, Alice Barron, Olive Ban-on, Woodrow Bennett, Chester Brown, John Childers, Frances Davis, Mary K. Eytcheson, Mildred Edwards, Jewel Fancher, Winston Griffin, Kathern Hillock, Mary Hines, Thelma Hines, Woodrow McDonald, Lena McKinzie, Richard McKinzie, Mary Helen McMurtry, Reed Miller, Scott Miller, Lelah Newby, Clark Ogle, Robert Ogle, Kathleen Owen, Henrietta Plew, Mildred Pulliam, Bertha Spidel, George Stout, Richard Stout, Mary Timmons, John Wilson, Bernard Wright, Frances Jones, Jesse Griffith, Ralph Ringer, Lester Spencer and Herman Stowers. Those taking Caesar are as follows: Velva Abbitt, Helen Akard, Clifford Bailey, Frank Bennett, Lawrence Biddle, Robert Burton, Clayton Copeland, Olive Cox, Clair Dean, John Dragoo, Deloris Fancher, Ruth Gipson, Richard Godby, Robert Godby, Harold Gregg, Cloyd Hawkins, Carolyn Hinshaw, Clariece Kercheval, Delilah McVicker, Iola Miller, Edwin Neal, Mary Newby, Clyde Norman, Dreama Pearson, Mary Ridge, Ed-wilda Stephenson, Genevieve Stewart, Waldo Stout, Jewel Walker, Richard Walker, Mildred Wallace, Olive West, Lloyd Wiles, Ruby Wright, Glennie Lambert, Doyle Noe, Alma Barker, Christopher Bogan, Kenneth Boone, Eugene Bradshaw, Paul Childers, Homer Cox, Dorothea Dillon, Thelma Fleetwood, Russell Foster, Harold Godby, Dean Griffin, Robert Hammond, Ruby Harbaugh, Freda Hershman, Rosalind Higbee, James Kercheval, Edwin Lane, Charles McMurtry, India Miller, Paul Moore, Reba Moore, Evaline Orr, Virginia Royster, Virginia Reagan, Stella Rigby, Iris Sowers, Wanda Spear, Lucile Spencer, Jewell Stuart, Ester Mae Wallace, Orval Wright, Richard Wright and Russell Wallace. On Monday night, January 28, the Latin Club met at the Red Men’s Hall. Each one was supposed to represent some mythological god or goddess by dress, action or by a talk. These imitations were used as a contest, and the ones guessing the most right were Clair Dean, Edwilda Stephenson, and Velva Abbitt. On February 28th, the Freshmen girls sang “America” in Latin. This program was of a patriotic nature. The March program was given by the Junior boys. They gave the last act of Julius Caesar. The last program was given in April. This was in the nature of a Roman Banquet. 5YL1LABUS Weekly Programs The first program was given by Prof. Garrison, who talked on “Good Sports” Mr. Garrison said that if any one wished to be successful in the business world, he should be a good sport. Next was Rev. Kitch, who talked on “Personal Traits.” The gist of his talk was that all scholars have ideals, and that these ideals are enlarged upon, until one reaches success. ' i ! Rev. Lett was next, and he spoke on “Integrity.” He made the remark that each one should possess true personal traits, and always try to be moral physically, mentally, and spiritually. The last of the chapel programs was given by Rev. Billheimer. He talked on “Personal Honesty,” and pointed out that honesty is necessary for success. November 6, the Seniors presented the program. The program consisted of instrumental solos, quartet numbers, a reading, and a duet. On November 13, the Juniors broadcasted from station S. H. S. at Possumtrot, Indiana. The program consisted of music, and comic sketches. Next in line came the Sophomores, who presented a program of musical numbers, readings and comic sketches. November 27, the Freshmen were given their first opportunity to appear before the student body. The program was entirely given by Freshmen girls. They sang a few songs, gave readings, monologues, and Mildred Pulliam played a piano solo. After a two weeks recess, the Seniors again displayed their talent. They presented a “Kitchen Kabinet Band.” The instruments used were zoboes mounted on different pieces of kitchen ware. The band consisted of fifteen pieces. The next week the Juniors secured the services of Judge Hines. He brought out the point, that all students have the same opportunities in life, and it is up to the individual to make a success in life. January 15, following the presentation of football awards, the Sophomores had charge of the weekly program. A new high school song was sung, and a humorous black face sketch was given. The final programs was presented by seven Freshmen girls. They were dressed in overalls and presented a program of songs and readings. All of the programs were very interesting, and every one looked forward to the next program for more reasons than one. Besides entertainment these programs made it possible for the students to miss one class a week. Such is Life Tom, a boy of nine, was in love. This was not an unusual thing for Tom. He had been positive ever since he had known Marjorie, that he could not live without her. He was afraid he would lose her because his parents were moving fifty miles away. The time for moving drew nearer and nearer. Tom grew more sorrowful each day. If Marjorie would act just a little sad it might help some, but she laughed and played as though nothing were wrong. Tom decided to save his money and buy her a farewell present. Tom saved his pennies and the day before he was to move he went to the corner drug store to spend his money. After much comparing and studying he finally bought a glass elephant filled with perfume. He walked slowly to her house, mounted the steps, and rang the bell. The butler answered the door and Tom stammered “Is Miss Marjorie in?” “No, she is playing in the court with Master Jimmie Banks.” Tom found them there playing tennis. Tom walked up to Jimmie and asked, “What are you doing here?” Before Jimmie could answer Tom hit him in the eye. A fight ensued and after much rolling, tumbling and scrambling Tom came up, victor. “Oh! you’ve hurt him. I’ll never speak to you again.” “But Marjorie, I did it for you.” “Yes, and here is something for you,” said Jimmie, handing her the elephant Tom had purchased, “I bought it with my own money.” “Oh, thank you, Jirnmia, you’re so thoughtful.” She turned her back to Tom and walked away with Jimmie. “Such is life,” mumbled Tom. He started home whistling under his breath. “It never rains but it pours.” —Frances Davis. “Pencils” The story is related how Ben Franklin made the first pencil of a piece of lead, and from that pencils came into universal use. Since that time many men have made their fortunes manufacturing these lowly instruments. Pencils are used by almost every one and their low price puts them in reach of every one, as contrasted to pens. They are used for many other purposes besides writing and erasing their own marks; this is best illustrated by their school room uses. They get one out of a lot of work, and whole rooms of pupils have been amused by the sharpening of pencils when about a dozen pupils make a rush for the sharpener just after the bell has rung and the ensuing competition and grinding lasts about a quarter of an hour; if any of them should have a knife to sharpen their pencils they don’t use it, for it is more fun to go to the sharpener. Under the stress an average pencil will last about a day. Another use of a pencil is a sort of pacifier, for they are great to chew when one is under great mental strain. If one has any reason or desire to stoop down, or to be nonchalant, just drop your pencil and go down to get it; too they may be used ( if they are well sharpened) to prod the fellow in front of you, so that the monotony may be relieved by a lunge of your victim. In recent years mechanical pencils have been made to take the place of the old-fashioned wooden ones, but in spite of this the wooden variety is still holding its own. Mechanical pencils are the thing for those of a mechanical turn, but just an ordinary individual can’t manipulate one. As we have stated before, an ordinary pencil will last a day, but some mechanical pencils have been known to work (with good care) for the first week without being dissected and a few new springs put in. Most every one carries a pencil with him, generally the pencils are equipped with clips that fasten to the clothing. A more convenient and business like way of carrying a pencil is behind the ear, but this has its disadvantages for a fellow has to be careful how he moves his head. However, there are those persons who never buy pencils, but go through life borrowing them. In the long run such persons are ahead, because they seldom give the pencils back. Banks, merchants, and other business concerns, give pencils away as an advertisement, but it is doubtful if they bring much additional trade, for they are only given to patrons. In conclusion, it may be said that this would be a queer world without pencils. Israel’s Folly Israel Broadman was a very talkative and active individual after he had been drinking. He and his wife could never get along while he was in this csndition, for she possessed a natural flow of words which could not be stopped. One Saturday morning Israel was forced to go to a certain city on business. He had a great deal of trouble in finding the party he wished to see and consequently he became intoxicated and started home. He soon became a very active and business-like individual. He decided that he had made his residence in town lengthy enough, so he was going to purchase a farm. Finally he came to one that suited his fancy and he was determined to become its owner. He got out of his Ford and managed to remain on his feet, by the support of the fender. Seeing a man whom he thought might be the owner he asked the price of the farm. Upon seeing his condition the man was very much amused and was not afraid to name the price. The price seemed to exactly suit Israel and he said, “I’ll take it,” and continued his homeward journey. Israel probably would have reached home safely enough had his eyes not deceived him. Eut they began playing tricks on him by multiplying things to exactly twice the existing number. This did not bother Israel so much until he came to a bridge. “Thunder an’ lightnin’! what did they put two bridges here for,” he shouted angrily. “Well, there’s only one thing to do, and that’s to go between ’em.” Now in its younger days Israel’s Ford had never been trained to jump streams and it was now too old to learn. But this did not daunt its courage and it piepared for the leap by running toward the stream with great speed. This did little good for it landed in the edge of the stream’s bed. This was a great shock to the old vehicle and it was not able to survive it; so Israel had to continue the homeward journey alone. The whole thing left poor Israel in a state of mind which can not really be described. The next sight that he beheld was sufficient to make him open his mouth in wonder and astonishment. The thing which held his attention was a cow whose length was at least forty feet but whose height was normal. She stood in a barn which was about fifty feet in length; the structure had two doors and a window in the side which faced him. The supposed cow’s position was such that a portion of her appeared at each of the openings of the building. On account of his condition Israel sought no explanation of this thing but hurried home to his wife. As soon as he reached the door his wife began telling him what Mrs. Jones had told Mrs. Smith, and he did not have time to speak a single word. Perhaps it was best that he was not permitted to tell of his wonderful experiences. “Sam’s Best” Sam was one of those tall, lean, kinky-haired, black-eyed, dark complexioned people, who always have better articles than any possessed by the other young men. That was according to Sam’s “think so” and intellect. Now Sam had recently fallen in love with a fine looking young girl named Dina, who lived in a neighboring village. Being like most negroes, Sam could find no vehicle that could take him home quickly enough through the dark hours of the fast ending day. Being energetic, as most of his race he decided upon a plan that was supposed to be better than any of the other fellows could think of. This was to resurrect a Ford from a pile of junk which would go faster than any other one in the community. Naturally, as Dina and the red neck tie had done, the Ford was to surpass in quality and color any Fords in that section of the country. He intended to paint the car green and red, in accordance with the colors that the store, belonging to his future father-in-law, was decorated with throughout. Sam, not really thinking about the Christmas holidays that were fast approaching, thought they were Dina’s favorite colors. All the while the construction process was going on, Sam was continually telling Dina of his wonderful achievement and also that it would be ready to convey her, without mishaps, to the husking bee that was to be held on the following Friday night. Friday night arrived and Sam in his best out-fit, made up of the stove pipe hat, that had once been his father’s, the red necktie, a bright green shirt, black coat and blue trousers, yellow socks, and shoes that were covered with mud, arrived at Dina’s home. She also was dolled up in her best “bib and tucker” and was hoping that Sam would find a great number of red ears of corn. Of course the boys, knowing Sam as they did, felt sure he would almost die if he saw a ghost or some other such object on the road home and wanted to know what he would do with the Ford. One of the fellows agreed to dress as a ghost and when the time came to climb a tree and slide down across the road hanging onto a wire, the end of which was fastened to a limb of the tree and the other end fastened to an old barn across the road. Soon, the fellow, hearing Sam’s Ford clattering down the road, climbed the tree. He began his descent on the wire and at the same time, Sam’s Ford began to spitter and sputter and finally came to a stop just in front of the ghost. When Sam saw the ghost he forgot all about Dina and his best suit, and started running. A few days later, Dina and the ghost were married, as a result of the mischief and thus she became another fellow’s best girl. The Ford was again deposited in the junk yard where it belonged. Sam was heard to say, “Dat ’ol mule of mine is as sca’d o’ ghosts as ah am an’ a’m sure he won’t stop!” The mule now seems to be the best thing Sam possesses, unless it is the red necktie and the memory of the ride home before he saw the ghost. —Florence Ogle. The Wealthy Young American in Germany in 1914 From mere boyhood Raymond Clark always thought he wanted to be a salesman, so, when he graduated from the high school at Burlington, Vermont, he immediately began a short course in salesmanship. Having completed the course with class honors he was soon situated in the “Middle West Engine Company” of Chicago. Working diligently, he soon acquired or attained the honor of being one of the company’s best salesmen and the Superintendent thought he would be a good man to send abroad. The idea of visiting foreign countries appealed to him greatly, so preparations were soon under way and he set sail from New York in the autumn of 1913. Landing in Liverpool, England, he immediately began taking contracts for the company. As he was selling on a commission, when he had sold a fair shipment he would send the order back to the company and they would forward the shipment and also his pay check. Success seemed to come to him from all sides and he had crossed over into Germany when the great war cloud came over Europe, and countries began the call to Arms. Raymond was about to get an order from a large concern from Berlin, so he decided to stay a few days longer and then return to the United States until the war was over. He thought it would only last a short time and that the return home would rest him. About a week later he received a cablegram that his pay check had been sent but the same day he learned that Germany had declared war on England and some of the other countries. As he knew Clark was an English name he began to think he would soon meet his doom, so he kept quiet and didn’t show himself much. His pay check arrived and he went to the bank to cash it. When he finished endorsing the check a gentleman caught him by the arm. Turning he saw he was facing a government agent as the man turned the lapel of his coat back disclosing a small button. The agent told the banker to keep the money and he would keep the man as they thought him to be a spy from England. Clark was placed in a German prison. Being short of money and unacquainted with German language made it hard on Raymond. He immediately began planning to escape. One morning while the prisoners were out in the yard exercising, Raymond grabbed a guard’s rifle and ran and jumped the fence. Being fairly experienced in woodcraft he studied out the directions by the trees and sun and headed toward Holland. Fate soon caught him or rather met him as he was seized by an outer guard before he had gone very far. The guard was returning with him to the prison when a limb dragged Clark’s cap off his head. The guard noticed an American trade mark in the cap and he commenced to question Raymond. He had attended a university in the United States and could talk English fluently. Raymond told him he had a brother that went to Harvard and the guard asked hie name. He told the guard it was Leslie Clark and the guard said he and Leslie were old classmates. This little incident turned the tide and instead of proceeding farther toward the prison camp he held his rifle in one hand clasped Raymond’s hand in the other and turned and led Raymond back past the guard lines, handed him a guide map and wished him God’s speed back to the old United States of America. —Ralph Calvert “Red” Red Lansing was only fifteen years old when his father, Mike Lansing, loaded his family into a wagon and started west. Red was considered a man and performed a man’s duties. All of the children had enjoyed the trip exceedingly, so far, and even Ma Lansing admitted that it was better than staying on the old rundown farm. One evening as Mike was hunting a place to camp he called to Red and showed him some recent Indian tracks. Red thought perhaps they should camp some place else because of these tracks but his father laughed at him. So they began to make camp. The place was well adapted for a camping site because of the stream and small clump of trees. It did not take Ma Lansing long to cook supper. The meal of biscuits and bacon, garnished with Indian tales, was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire family. It began to grow lata. The campfire was put out and every one prepared for the night. Soon everything was bathed in silence. The trees cast strange shadows in the moonlight and the wind seemed to have an eerie sound. All at once Red awakened. He listened to find out what had disturbed him but discovered nothing. But since he was too wide awake to sleep any longer, he decided to take a stroll in the moonlight. He wandered farther than he had intended, always staying close to the stream which kept up a constant gurgling sound. At last he sat down to rest. While he was sitting there, he fell asleep. Morning came. Red awoke with a start, due to the hardness of the tree, against which he was leaning. He know that his family would be worried about him, so he started toward the camp immediately. When he arrived, there was nothing to be seen of the recent camp. The place was deserted. He searched around, hunting for a clew as to what had happened and found some tobacco which belonged to his father, but nothing else. Not knowing whether his folks had merely continued their journey or been killed by the Indians, he plunged into the depth of gloom. He sat down on a stump to think things over. He decided that the best thing to do was to get out of all this gloom. So he straightway reached into his pockets and pulled out his bowie-knife. He felt of the edge and since it seemed a trifle dull, he went to the banks of the stream and found a stone with which to sharpen it. In a short time it was sharpened and gleamed brightly in the sunlight. Red heaved a big sigh. There was simply no use of prolonging the action. He again tested the knife by running his finger along the edge of the blade. It was very-sharp. So reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his dad’s tobacco and cut off a chew. —Rosemary Bradfield. SYLLABUS Our Sophomore Class We, you’ll confess, like all the rest, Are the Sophs of Sheridan High; For you’ll know by books and intelligent looks, And the colors that we fly. Our colors are true as the red, white and blue; For the stars are in our class. Come let us show you what we know, And we’ll demonstrate wisdom enmasse. In History we shine and to show our line We’ll tell you of things gone by. In Geometry, well—we’re sure to tell True statements and the reason why. In English we’re bright, and it’s our delight, To boast of the syntax we know In Latin we’re wise as the gods of the skies; And the famed minds here below. But please be true, as we've been to you, And not ask the teachers about us— For they might say, in a candid way, Our assertions were partly bogus. —Cloyd Hawkins. =rv “Freshies” You talk about we “freshies,” With great contempt and scorn, You say that we are “greenies,” That never should have been born. But once you were all “freshies,” As we “56” are now, And thought yourselves important, To be Sheridan High School “wows.! The daily life of Freshmen, Is an interesting study, And if you will just listen, I’ll relate it to you, buddy. We rise early in the morning, Just as fresh and green as grass. When we hear the bell a gonging, We hurry merrily to class. We toil and work at studies, Under teacher’s stary glance; We look across at buddies, And we whisper at the chance. At night we’re tired and hungry, And refresh ourselves at ball; I wonder we don’t get angry, For we get many a fall. This ends the lively story Of those who think they’re clever, Who won their fame and glory, Doing all that they endeavor. So here’s to the class of “’32,” I know we’ll never whine, To the S. H. S. we’ll all be true, Till we reach the end of the line. —Jewel Fancher.

Later, in my wanderings I came upon a small dark opening, harboring a sign, which read: Madam-eiselle Aver-Kami. Growing curious, I rambled in and saw a lady seated in front of a heavy curtain from behind which came weird noises. The place seemed suggestive and on looking closer I recognized my old Geometry teacher, Miss Haverkamp. Having given her name a foreign appearance she acted as a medium between us and the great beyond. She generously offered to inform me as to the whereabouts of my old friends of ’29. We swiftly traveled west until we came to central Indiana. There, near the old Michigan road, I found Floyd Hays farming. It seemed the girl didn’t wait (Waitt) now. Tom White had been drafted as the Junior partner of the ancient and honorable Higbee Buggy Co. John Ford had become a professional boxer with Kathleen Williams as his manager. They were attracted to each other by the brightness of their hair. My old friend, Barney Stout, had inherited the restaurant business. Rose Bradfield continued to take her pay at “The Model Variety” in candy. J. W. says she eats up the profit. Mary McDonald and Ansel Wallace had formed a life partnership, taking up the hatchery which they inherited from Mary’s father. Harry Dillon owned a barber shop. He was instructing a small boy in the art of shoe shining. Helen Hammer was married and moved to her home town, Bakers Corner. This had grown to be quite a metropolis. Robert Evans had moved to his dearly beloved Kentucky after years of planning. Herbert Kuhlman was manager of “The Kuhlman Dairies.” Our most honorable friend, Horton Aldred, had become foreman of a gang in “The Bell Contracting Co.” John Newby and Glen Spidel worked together. Dr. John carved humans; Glen carved (tomb) stones. After becoming an expert on the French harp, Julian Akard was persuaded to take up the saxophone. He now holds a position rivaling that of Paul Whitman. Sarah Baker was destined to become a favorite chorus girl at the Hipp. Even in high school she was efficient in the use of make-up; and she has proved that “practice makes perfect.” Delight Beard married soon after her graduation. She is still driving a Chevrolet coupe. Ralph Calvert, I’m sorry to say, is here no more. While standing near a stream admiring himself, he became so intent that he fell into the water and drowned. Elsie Edwards was always interested in Physics. After majoring in Science she began administering the punishment we took from Mr. Arbogast. Joe Farwick, following his inclination to be in the limelight, became a comedian. Naturally he is quite a success. Kenneth Fisher, being a great lover of the girls, is now conducting a girl’s dancing school in New York City. SYLLABUS George Osborn rode his “mopstick” baton to fame. He is a second Charlie Davis. After many years of work Julia Marlow rose to the same level as that other “Julia.” Lloyd McVicker and John McDonald are both multi-millionaires. They have formed a partnership and bought out “The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.” Florence Ogle and Katherine Clark having graduated from the Dramatic Club, are earning a living coaching plays. Morris Nay having willed his good looks to any one in need is now searching for the “Fountain of Youth.” In Sheridan I found a new hospital. An operation was being performed, and I found that Florence Ridge and Glenola Dell were the surgeon’s helpers. Lois Stewart had made rapid progress with the violin. She now fills Mr. Carter’s place as the music teacher. Russel Griffith, Russel Wallace and Marion Harris control the broadcasting station HOWL in Terhune. They took turns providing music. Martha Haskett, due to her experience as Literary Editor of the Syllabus, has become a newspaper editor. Doithea Phillips had followed in the footsteps of her father anti become a doctor (of people.) La Mar Henderson had bought a controlling interest in the Miller Dry Goods Store. It is now known as the “Henderson Shoppe.” Alice Kinnick is now principal of Sheridan High School. At last she is receiving the benefit of the new school house. Maxine Gregg is married and resides at her country home. It is located two miles west of Sheridan on the county line. Calendar Fri.

And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we work, for the joy of the winning, And climb up the pathway of fame; For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success.
