Ex Libris f 1 T % r 0 SYLLABUS Published by Senior Class of Sheridan High School Sheridan, Indiana FOREWORD We, the Senior Class of 1 930, publish this Year Book in order that you may more fully appreciate our School in your midst. DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of Sheridan High School, respectfully dedicate this Syllabus, of 1 930, to the Men who have made possible our high standing in Athletics. CHIPS FROM LIFE By BILL RUTHERFORD Though often defeated, the fellow worthwhile, Is the boy or the man, who always can smile; The fellow who smiles never knows when he’s licked, Though his eyes may be blackened, and he’s battered and kicked; Though it’s football, or life, the guy that will win, Is the guy who always comes up with a grin. The fellow who wins, on life’s rugged road, Is the fellow who smiles, though heavy his load; The fellow who smiles has the courage and pluck, If thrown for a loss, never lays it to luck; So here’s to the fellow whatever his name, Who smiles when he’s down, and plays a square game. SCHOOL ATHLETIC FOREWORD Athletics are now a necessary part of our school program. It has come into being over night, but its growth covers a period of years. We are, perhaps, more interested in the benefits derived from the participation in athletics than in any other phase of the subject. Athletics does exert a positive influence for good on the characters of the participants and others through good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship means the application of the Golden Rule. It means fair play. It means having a little respect for the other fellow’s point of view. We hope to imbibe in our minds this idea of good sportsmanship in athletics through a definite program of education combined with practise. We say that in order to be a good football player a man must have brains, courage, speed, self-restraint, motor coordination, fire of nervous energy, a certain amount of physique, and an unselfish point of view of sacrifice for the team. What better way have we to acquire these desirable traits of character other than through the game of football ? Athletics help us to develop initiative, resourcefulness, and the ability to think for ourselves. These characteristics carry over into later life and are very appreciable. Through athletics we have a wonderful opportunity to practise fair play and sportsmanship, which will go a long way toward developing a finer type of citizenship everywhere. —F. L. Fletcher.

During our freshman and sophomore years we did nothing of importance. We were like the general run of freshies and sophs. In October 1928, we sponsored a “Mock Trial” as a means of securing money for the Junior-Senior banquet. We also handled concessions at the football games and the County Basketball Tournament. In April we took the Seniors to White’s Cafeteria for a banquet and then to the Apollo for a theater party. This is our third year to go to school in the lodge halls of Sheridan. We sincerely hope that we will be the last to graduate without a building. All through high school we have been recognized in athletics. Football heroes were Captain Paul Childers, James Kercheval, Robert Hammond, Charles Dell, Paul Moore, Charles McMurtry, Richard Wright and Lowell Hundley. Those outstanding in track were Paul Childers, Russell Foster, Kenneth Boone and Robert Hammond. Harold God-by and Kenneth Boone won scholarship letters. There are thirty-nine candidates for diplomas. It is with much regret that we leave Sheridan High School, to enter the various paths of life which may separate some of us forever. We leave it to the reader to judge whether or not the “Syllabus” has been a success. Page 20 JUNIORS BOTTOM ROW Harold Gregg, jUoyd Wiles, Richard Walker, Claire Dean, Robert Godby.

With the first semester half gone we finally got together to elect our officers. We elected Clair Dean, president; Mary Newby, vice-president; Waldo Stout, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Kercheval acted as our sponsors. Those who received scholarship letters that year were Mary Newby, Clair Dean and Waldo Stout. Clayton Copeland and Waldo Stout went out for football with Waldo winning a letter. We had two parties this year, a Hallowe’en party at Carolyn Hin-shaw’s and the other at the home of Deloris Fancher. The first Monday after the state fair, 1928, with the loss of two members, we met at the Red Men’s hall. We changed our officers this year, electing Waldo Stout, president; Clyde Norman, vice-president; John Dragoo, secretary and Iola Miller, treasurer. Mrs. Hershman was our sponsor. We again won our share of scholarship letters by the work of Clair Dean and Carolyn Hinshaw. Football letters were won by Clayton Copeland and Waldo Stout. Frank Bennett was the only one to make a track letter. At c BOTTOM ROW Richard Godby. Edwin Neal, Doyle Noe. jCloyd Hawkins, Robert Burton, Glennie Lambert.

The class had a party at the home of Harold Gregg where we elected our officers for the Junior year as follows: Waldo Stout, president; Velva Abbitt, vice-president; Genevieve Stuart, treasurer; Edwilda Stephenson, secretary. Mrs. Hershman was retained as sponsor. Our Junior year started off with a bang. We got all the football concessions this year. Six Juniors won their football letters namely, Harold Gregg, Clayton Copeland, Lawrence Biddle, Clyde Norman, captain-elect, and Waldo Stout, all on the first team. Glennie Lambert was a very reliable sub. Clyde Norman and Waldo Stout made the basketball team. Kathleen Williams again won the county Latin contest. We had our best party of the year at the home of Edwilda Stephenson. All the teachers were present with Mr. Arnold Harris as guest of honor. Waldo Stout was toastmaster. Toasts were given by Mr. Nall and Richard Walker. Aided by selling concessions at the county tournament, the year was a financial success. Huddle. 3d Heed C reerr xis e (fd rre.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 7, 1928, fifty-three smart looking Freshmen assembled in the Red Men’s Hall. Of course we were green but not as green as the others thought. A few tricks were played on us but we enjoyed them, and none of us were disappointed in the first year of our High School life. The class officers were elected as follows: Richard Stout, president; Winston Griffin, vice-president; and Francis Davis, the secretary-treasurer. William Bennett was our class sponsor. Our class took an active part in Glee Club and Latin Club last year. Many of the Freshmen boys came out for football, but Dick Stout and Winston Griffin were the only ones who played in any of the games. Winston Griffin won a track letter this year, which proves that we are not all slow. We were not all dumb last year for Mary Katherine Eytcheson and Jewel Fancher won scholarship letters. After collecting enough money we had a party at Woodrow McDonald’s with Miss Haverkamp present. By the last semester the other classes had become tired of playing Page 2( BOTTOM ROW- -Charles Phillips, Carroll McVey, Bernard Wright. Robert Ogle. John Wilson. Clark Ogle. SECOND ROW—Mary K.

By the end of the school year we were happy because we knew that we were Freshmen no longer. On September 9, 1929 we assembled in the Red Men’s Hall as Sophomores. We were glad that our Freshmen days were over. Of course we were ready to play tricks on the Freshmen. We also know how dumb we acted by looking at the present Freshmen class. We again elected officers: Winston Griffin, president; Scotty Miller, vice-president; and Kathleen Owen, secretary-treasurer. Miss Ressler is our class sponsor. Our class is minus a few of its old members but it is still large. Several boys came out for football but only four won letters, namely: Winston Griffin, Dick Stout, John Childers, and Devaughll Smith. A few Sophomore boys came out for basketball and probably will be for track. Our teachers consist of Mrs. Hershman, Miss Haverkamp, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Fletcher. Our class is again represented in the Latin Club and the Glee Club. As yet we have had no parties but we are expecting to have before the school year is over. Our class will sell candy and refreshments at the home basketball games. FRESHMEN BOTTOM ROW--John Cash, Chester Fairchild. Floyd Fisher. Ralph Adams, Earl Akard, Joe Green, Alden Fisher.

It was a bad day for us to start our High School life, but nevertheless, we managed to wear a smile. We shall never forget those first few days in High School, because it seemed as if we were forever getting lost and were the object of many jokes. At a class meeting, we elected the following officers: president, Owen Pettijohn; vice-president, Martha Hollingsworth; secretary, Margaret Lou Mace; and treasurer, Robert McKinzie. All of the members thoroughly enjoyed the pep session, football games, and the basketball games. We had the pleasure of having some of the members of our class Page 30 BOTTOM ROW—Richard Teter.

The freshmen girls took active part in the Glee Club, the boys in the Hi-Y Club, and both boys and girls in the Latin Club and Band. Also one of our members, Ralph Adams, was yell leader. In November we had our first freshmen party at Robert McKinzie’s. We had a very enjoyable evening with some of the faculty and most of the class present. Although we do not have the advantage of a good school building, we are proud of our class and are going to make it one of the best in S. H. S. Under the leadership of our sponsor, Mr. Nall, the remainder of the faculty, and the upperclassmen we spent a very pleasant year and wish the future freshmen the same.

Had he observed more closely, he might also have noticed a central figure in the person of our coach, Mr. Fletcher. In the passing of the academic year, we, like the traveler, may have forgotten some of the accomplishments of these men, but it is pleasant to reminisce and acquaint ourselves anew. We cannot fail to remember that Sheridan High teams have done themselves proud this year. A recent communication, from one of Indiana’s largest secondary schools, expresses regret at being unable to entertain Sheridan’s grid squad in October and requests that we give them consideration in 1931. Such unsolicited admiration can come only from those respecting the ability of our players and coach. Oi r teams have given good account of themselves, both at home and away from home and no small part of their success may be attributed to a combination of skill and good sportsmanship. These qualities have been cultivated by a coach, who has instilled into his players the idea that individual honor comes only through collective honor. In determining the response of players to coach, we have only to point to our achievements in athletic competition. We are not unmindful of assistance given us by the cheer leaders and the patronizing public. The greater the number of participants, the greater our zeal for team endeavor. One of the happy recollections of the season, is the picture of the “cheer merchants,” Newby and Adams, leading the enthusiasts in concert cheering. Demonstrations, of this type, unify a team’s efforts and encourage super-sportmanship. Since the recent fire, there have been few extra-curricular activities around which to center the interest of our student body. Athletics has been our one and only major activity, but if we have increased our respect for clean sports and clean living, our efforts have not been in vain. —M. A. Copeland. Page 35 SYLLABUS LOWELL (HUNDLEY) HUNDLEY Though having no previous football experience, Hundley entered Sheridan High School in the fall of 1929, and earned his letter playing both guard and end. He did exceedingly well to pick up the fundamentals to break into the last few games regularly. PAUL (ELI) MOORE Paul opened his football career as cannon fodder for the varsity in 1927. As a Junior, he was placed at guard and played in every game of the season. As a Senior, Paul was placed at center, and here played a very good game. He was then changed to tackle and at this position made the All-County Team. RICHARD (DICK) WRIGHT Dick made his first letter in football in 1928 playing a guard position. He made his next letter in 1929 playing either a guard or tackle position. He has plenty of weight and size. He was a valuable man to strengthen a comparatively light line in the Mishawaka game this year. PAUL (DINK) CHILDERS Dink started his football career as a Freshman on the Sheridan High School squad in 1926. As a letterman, in his Freshman year, he played a guard position. As a Sophomore, he was still at guard; but as a Junior, he was placed at center. At this position he made the All-State Team. As a Senior and captain, he played halfback. CHARLES (CHAS.) McMURTRY Chas., though not having the great assets of height and weight, made the team as a regular the last two years. In 1928 he played the guard position, and though light, he carried enough fighting spirit to back up what he lacked in weight. The last year he played end, and was an outstanding pass receiver. ROBERT (BOB) HAMMOND Bob came here from Bainbridge. Due to his hard tackling he was a valuable player. Bob played tackle in his Sophomore and Junior years. As a Senior, he was placed at end. Due to his hard charging and sure tackling he made the All-State Team. Bob won three letters in football. WALDO (WAD) STOUT Playing his first year of football when he was a Freshman, Waldo is the only man in the Junior class who has made a letter the first three years in school. He is a fullback or half and a consistent ground gainer. He acted as quarterback part of the time and performed very efficiently. CHARLES (CHARLEY) DELL Charles finished his final year of football in Sheridan High School as one of the most outstanding linemen in this section of the country. He was a tower of strength in the Fletcher line this fall. He played a tackle position and played it well. He was chosen on the All-County Team for the tackle position. JAMES (EZR1E) KERCHEVAL Jim opened his football career as a 1 tterman in the squad of 1927. Jim was one of the best men on pass defense that Sheridan has had in recent years. He has intercepted passes that have won games for S. H. S. As a Senior, he had his best year, being probably the best ground gainer of the season. Page 37 Page 38 SYLLABUS LAWRENCE (LARNEY) BIDDLE Biddle, as a Junior, was what you call a good little man. Playing guard, he was an efficient caretaker of his position, and could take his turn at center. He played against men twice his size. He had to play hard but they never ran over him. Biddle won his first letter as a Junior, playing at a regular guard position. HAROLD (H1NY) GREGG Hiny started football like a fox terrier after a rat. He worked hard and learned fast. Due to his size, he was called the vest pocket addition of a quarterback. What he lacked in size he made up in his A. B. S.—ambition, backbone and spirit. He was the true type of a good little man. WINSTON (WINNY) GRIFFIN Winny came out as a Freshman, and was going good as a halfback. He played a good game and would have made a valuable player if he had not been injured about the middle of the season. He came out late in the season of his Sophomore year, and after playing in several games, he won his letter. CLYDE (SPEEDY) NORMAN Norman played his first full season of football last year, usually at center. He was elected by the squad to act as captain for the 1930 eleven and should make a very good captain. He is a good defensive man, besides being able to take care of his position while on offense. During the 1928 season, he was a scrub back but the next season he was shifted to the line and incidentally won his letter as a lineman where he showed to advantage. JOHN (JOHNNY) CHILDERS John played quarterback, guard or halfback in a pinch. Playing quarterback in the Martinsville game, he made probably the most spectacular run of the season; running a punt back 49 yards. Due to his hard tackling and determination, he held down a guard position very well. DEVAUGH (SMIT) SMITH Smith started his football career as a Freshman. Although he was a good player and knew his signals he never had his chance until his Sophomore year. He then worked hard and found himself playing a guard position in the second game of the season, like all good atheletes, worked hard as a Sophomore and won his letter. CLAYTON (COPE) COPELAND Clayton Copeland started his football career in Sheridan High School when he was a Freshman. He played in several games then, and the following year he held down a tackle position on the varsity. He made another letter this year, playing either guard or tackle. He was selected on the mythical All-County eleven this year. Next year he should be one of the mainstays in the Fletcher line, having the advantage of weight over several other players. GLENNIE (HAM) LAMBERT As a Junior completing his first year of football this year, Glennie did very well. He picked up practically all his knowledge of football the past year and was ready to enter a game by mid-season. He is a fullback and will probably be one of Fletcher’s mainstays during the 1930 season. “Ham” is a good tackier and blocker, besides being able to gain ground when called upon. RICHARD (DICK) STOUT Dick started playing football as a Freshman in 1928. He played in several games and won a letter due to his knowledge of football and his natural ability. As a Sophomore, he was still playing halfback, and was a dependable player although he didn’t get many chances to show his ability. Page 39 BOTTOM ROW James Kercheval. Lowell Hundley.

He is a clever dribbler and usually played the center of the floor, although he took his turn at forward. He usually managed to collect his share of the points, and was also a very good defensive man. He is a senior, competing in his last season of basketball. ROBERT HAMMOND Bob, another senior, started the season playing center but soon was shifted to forward. He had a very good basket eye and counted many of his points from far out on the floor. He was a valuable man to the team with his clever passing. Although never extremely flashy, he played a consistent ball game throughout the season. HERBERT KUHLMAN Herb played forward and could be depended on to play practically as good a game as any of the forwards. His basket eye is above average, and he is a good man to have in teamwork, always doing his part of the passing. He is a senior. WALDO STOUT Waldo, a junior member of the squad, has an eagle eye for under the basket shots, seldom missing one. He played forward and when put into a game he played on a par with the rest of the team. CHARLESMcMURTRY Charles, who is also a senior, played the floor guard position and did it very well, though, like the other members of tjhe squad, he did not have enough experience to make him an outstanding player in this county. He can pass, dribble, and connect on reasonably long shots. “Chas” usually scored his necessary quota of points in a game. CLYDE NORMAN Cy, another junior of the squad, played a good game at guard. By next year he should develop into a steady player. He played a good defensive game and shared in the scoring for the Black and White. PAUL MOORE Eli, another senior on the squad, was an outstanding guard of the season. He showred his ability in taking the ball off of the backboard and putting it into play. He was the main link in the defense for the Black and White. He played a consistent game throughout the season. LOWELL HUNDLEY The only member of the squad having any previous basketball ability was Hundley, a senior. He played forward or center and could take care of either position very well. He had the best basket eye of any one on the team and made practically all of his free throws. Page 44 BOTTOM ROW—Frank Bennett, Russell Foster, Waldo Stout, Winston Griffin, Robert Hammond. TOP ROW—Morris Nay, Joseph Farwick. Charles Dell. Coach F. L. Fletcher. Paul Childers, Herbert Kuhl-man, Kenneth Boone. Coach Fletcher’s track team ended the 1929 season by winning the county track meet. They won and brought home all trophies awarded. Foster held down the dashes. He won first in both 100 and 220 yard sprints. Hammond and Boone controlled the 440 yard dashes. Hammond placing first and Boone second. Hammond, also a stellar half-miler, won first and broke the county half-mile record. W. Griffin, his team-mate placed third. Nay stood foremost in the mile event. Running against strong competition, he captured second. The field events did not stand out as prominent as the track but they respectfully upheld. Farwick, Dell and Childers heaved the shot for Sheridan. Farwick placed third in county. Foster, Childers and Boone, broad jumpers. Foster won second place in county meet. B. Stout and White, high jumpers, failed to place in the county meet. Nay, Osborn, White and Aldred ran high and low hurdles but failed to place in county meet. W. Stout, Spidel and B. Stout, pole-vaulters, failed to place in county meet but were awarded in dual meets. Sheridan had the best relay teams it has ever known. They captured both the half-mile and mile events at the county meet. The half-mile relay team was composed of Foster, Newby, Boone and Aldred. The mile relay team was composed of Hammond, Boone, Nay and Griffin. Page 45 CMC r ry Havoc. C huck W Fourth St- Our Dumb Wqtfer football Leitcrmra Page 46 ORGANIZATIONS TOP ROW Mary Alice Hoffman.

This club, which has a membership of fifty, is sponsored by Mrs. Hershman, our Latin teacher. Last winter any one who took Latin could belong; this year no one can belong who has a grade below a “C.” The club was organized in November. The meetings are conducted in the parliamentary fashion. There are two auspice takers, Bob McKinzie and Margaret Clark. The members elected Mary Newby, president; Winston Griffin, vice-president; Joe Green, secretary; and Earl Akard, treasurer. For the Christmas meeting the members of the club gave the Christmas play, which was performed in Latin. A quartet sang a Christmas song in Latin. Miss Haverkamp read a Christmas poem in German. Very interesting programs are planned for the remaining meetings. The Latin Club had several students who entered the Latin contest last year. They brought back several prizes, of which Sheridan High school was proud. This year we have several students entering again. We expect more winners this year because we have one more class in Latin to choose from. —Virginia Royster. Page 48 BOTTOM ROW Ralph Ringer. Phil Ogle. Russell Foster. Robert Hammond, Reed Miller.

Constitution and By-Laws were drawn up and officers were elected for the remaining portion of the school year. An advisory board consisting of Mr. J. A. Branson, Mr. Perley Weaver, Mr. Kiefer Elliott and Mr. M. A. Copeland was selected. Affiliation was made in March with the State Hi-Y association in which there are one hundi'ed ninety-six active clubs with a membership of over five thousand. The purpose of the club is “to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Among its activities there have been regular discussion meetings, mixers, informal dinners, a delegation to the State Y. M. C. A. convention and Madison County Hi-Y convention at Anderson. The club is open at any time to any one showing the right quality of mind and spirit and of good scholastic standing. We wish to extend to the community our help in any way opened to us in return for the kindly attitude which has been shown toward us by them. The officers of the chapter are as follows: president, Robert Hammond; vice-president, Russell Foster; secretary, Waldo Stout; treasurer, Reid Miller; and faculty advisor, J. Kephart Nall.

THE BAND Sheridan High School has had a band for several years. In the last few years it has been quite prominent in the life of the school. There are about thirty members. Each year several new members join, and in that way the band does not decrease in membership. By having a large assortment of instruments the band seems like a larger organization. The High School Band plays for all the home football games, and also on other occasions. Some of its members have helped on programs in other townships. This organization is under the leadership of C. M. Carter, the music teacher. Due to his faithfulness the band has progressed and is still striving onward. It has done the school a great deal of good by arousing the spirit of moving onward and winning the goal. • BOTTOM HOW Mary Baker. Kathleen Owen. Lillian Newby. Evelyn Gary, Director J.

The Girls’ Glee Club of Sheridan High School met on October 4, 1929, for organization. Mr. J. Kephart Nall is the director and sponsor. The officers for this year are as follows: president, Stella Rigby; vice-president, Mary K. Newby; secretary-treasurer, Wanda Spear; librarian, Genevieve Stewart. Rules for the year were also drawn up. The organization meets on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday evening for rehearsal and business meeting. The first part of the meeting is taken up with business, and the remainder of the period for rehearsal. The club sponsors its own financial program through semester dues and fines. With this money the club bought music, paid on a picture for the Annual, and met other current expenses. The girls picture appeared in The Indianapolis Star. The girls have uni form costumes. The dresses are of white flannel with a black and white monogram, on which appear the letters “S. 0. S.”, which means the “Serenad-ers of Sheridan.” The S. 0. S. girls have appeared in programs many places and have several more engagements to be filled in the spring. Mr. Nall is contemplating entering the club in the State Glee Club Contest. An Operetta entitled “My Spanish Sweetheart” by Goldenburg, is to be given in March. All the characters will be played by girls in the club. It takes the cooperation of thirty-six to give the performance. As luck would have it, we are favored with thirty-six members. Through the efforts of Mr. Nall and the interest of the girls, the club has progressed and is a credit to the High School. GIRLS’ CLUB Page 51 “WHAT’S WRONG WITH JIM? Jim Thorpe came walking slowly down the walk from the gate. This was not the customary way for Jim to enter his own yard. Jim was not the same boy today that he usually was with his cheerful-happy-go-lucky ways. Tom Creighton, living but two houses farther down the street, seeing Jim in this mood called to him but Jim did not answer, so Tom ran over there and stopped him before he entered the house. “Ah, come on, Jim. What’s the matter with you?” This sudden outburst startled Jim and as he looked up he said, “Oh, is that you Tom? Say, Tom, I was just thinking about---perhaps 1 shouldn’t say as yet.” “What was it you were thinking about, Jim?” asked Tom. “Perhaps I had better not say right at present, but I will think it over before I ask your honest opinion on this matter.” With this Jim went into the house and left Tom wondering. For three days Jim went to school with this far-away look on his face. Every one liked Jim and they couldn’t stand to see a happy, carefree boy going around with a sad expression on his face, so they decided to find out what was the matter with Jim. The boys and girls congregated in groups and discussed one question which had arisen. “Has Jim been disappointed in love?” Every one began to think it, as he had not been seen with Helen Jensen for quite awhile. The third evening Tom stood at the gate and waited for Jim, who finally arrived. Tom grabbed him by the sweater and said, “Listen here, Jim Thorpe, you’re my friend and I want you to tell me what on earth is the matter with you.” “Oh all right then,” and as he spoke a faint smile appeared on his face. “Tom, I want your honest opinion on this and you have promised to give it to me, so here is my question. Do you think that Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt?” —Charles McMurtry. Page 52 -3_ • «A- ' -f V vl jJ'S, T V o ?• v „ |WU n a .M 1 0 FEATURES “HELLO WORLD” He was sneezing, groaning and rolling about with eyes half-closed, with his mind wandering on his private life. Then the good New England housewife called to him to arise and copy a menu. He moved as in a slow motion picture—one like the Hipp has. He finally made his way to the radio in a dizzy manner. He slipped off one shoe, because of corns, lit his pipe, put on his spectacles and started turning the dials of his home-made Master Piece. The first station he got was “Hello World—Don’t go away—Dog-gone ye.” At this his wife raised Cain, because Abel was dead. Now next to come was Old Man Static. This woke up his feet which were still asleep. Rustling about with his three dialer, he could hear shrill voices of women, which he interpreted as a hog calling contest. The static now grew so thick that he could have sliced it had he had “Siegfried’s Mighty Sword.” Now it sounded as if it were a dog and cat fighting in the back alley or chickens picking corn out of a tin pan. He became angered, it could not be his Master Piece. It could be nothing but the outside interference. The air was full of shrill shrieks and whistling so he decided to settle down to two stations. The physical educational instructor was telling how to reduce 240 inch waists to 40 inch waists. He then signed off and “hello world” again took the air. He was still trying to entice the world to stay with him by telling it not to go away. About this time his wife popped in and grabbed him by the hair, pulling out the last three he had. She threatened to wreck his Master Piece if he ever tuned in on WKH in Shreveport again. She again told him to tune in on WLS. He slowly rolled the dials around to 37 and got the Prairie Farmer station. Here they were raising some more cain about them having to divide time with WENR. They read a telegram from a woman in Chi. saying, “The farmer don’t need the air all the time, they’re just hogs anyway.” A farmer sent in the return saying, “If it wasn’t for the country hogs, I don’t know what the city donkeys would do.” WENR was now on and so was WLS. WENR was giving a physical culture program and WLS was giving menu’s. This is what the old man heard and wrote down—“Place a cup of lard on head, with two cups of boiling water on the feet in front, with two hard-boiled eggs on the toes, with bent knees on one-half cup of milk, stand in baking powder to your knees. Walk five steps in eggs, erect, inhaling a teaspoon of pepper, then exhale one-half teaspoon of salt. Stir well with feet over direct fire. Take off, then lay on back and roll in cracker meal. It is now ready to serve with hand above head. Serve as a garnish with body twisting from right to left. —Bob Hammond and Rut Foster. Page 55 “DAMAGES AND COSTS” Two old hayseeds were leaning on their weapons of weed extermination and talking across the fence that divided their farms. They wore what had once been overalls, but were now a series of variously hued patches. Hiram Perkins wore an old felt hat, with a partly torn crown, through which wisps of dirty grey hair could be seen. Silas Clapsaddle’s hat consisted of a brim of a straw hat, with the crown entirely absent. There was left to view a shock of greasy black hair, in which were burrs and other articles too numerous to mention. Neither of them seemed to know anything of razors, for their beards would have harbored rabbits as easily as any brush pile. Hiram boasted of a pair of false teeth from which the molars were entirely absent at various intervals in the plate. He insisted on chewing tobacco and he seemed to get his teeth and the tobacco mixed quite frequently, as his speech was punctuated by intervals of spitting and gagging. Silas was entirely void of teeth save for one huge butter tooth in front. He smoked a pipe that was supposedly mild, accoi-ding to the boasts of its owner, but he could be identified at a mile’s distance by the smell of his pipe. Their boots were in keeping with the rest of their apparel, as they seemed to hang together on their reputation, which by now wasn’t very much. “I wanter ask ye some advice,” said Silas, taking a long luxurious drag on his pipe. Hiram had visions of five dollars for fees, as he was the acknowledged lawyer of the community of Thinrine, so after assuming a sangfroid composure and separating his false teeth from his tobacco, he said, “What do yer wanter know?” “Well, here she be,” said Silas. “If my old Jersey bull war ter git in yer cornfield and et up a bushel of yer corn, and tramp an acre ob ut down, could the law make me pay ye fer the damages? And if it could, how much would it be?” Hiram squinted up his eyes, took careful aim at a cricket, his teeth became mixed up with the tobacco juice, so that the cricket not only received the deluge of tobacco spit, but the teeth as well. Hiram retrived them with much mumbling, as he could not talk without his much cherished plate, but his gestures spoke for themselves. After getting his teeth adjusted satisfactorily, he proceeded with the case. “Ye should pay me thirty-five cents for the bushel of corn, und fifty dollars fer the acre yer bull stomped on,” said Hiram, who never doubted but that he was to be paid for the destroyed corn. “All right, yer owe me fifty dollars and thirty-five cents. Fer it war yer darned old brindle bull that tore up my cornfield,” said Silas, with a grin of satisfaction, for at last he had put one over on Hiram, after trying for fifteen years. Hiram was dumbfounded at first, but soon a smile of tolerant contempt overspread his features, and he said, “Ye carnsarned old fool, I’ll charge ye fifty dollars and thirty-five cents fer lawyer fees.” —Frank D. Bennett. Page 56 “THE HENPECKED HUSBAND” In an old New England village, inhabited by fifty people and a hundred dogs, lived Mr. and Mrs. Henry Probe. Henry, being a little, shriveled, dried up man, was over-ruled by the rolling pin of his husky wife. Although very indolent, he was always willing to do a few daily tasks rather than to have any responsibility upon his own shoulders. Although grumbling and growling all the way, Henry made several trips each day to the only store in the village, loafing and loitering on each trip for about thirty or forty minutes, talking to sheriff Hod Pickett, the big gun of the town. All the while his wife was sitting on the door step tapping her feet impatiently, only to be displeased with the selection of the article she sent him after, when he arrived with four or five stray dogs following him. Although of much the same nature as his uncle, Mr. Winkle, Henry was willing, but not capable of pleasing his wife. So, often with a very sheepish grin, he went back to exchange the articles he had just purchased, while all the local tobacco chewers joked and jeered while he made a second or third attempt to please his wife. One day in mid-summer, she, being especially angry and disgusted, sent him after a small can of paint. Having made several purchases and as many exchanges, he did not care whether he pleased her or not. So he went to the village store and told Old Joe, the storekeeper, that he wished to exchange the paint that he had exchanged before, and as usual Old Joe lowered his glasses and asked Henry which color he wished to take for her approval. At this Henry became provoked and told him that it made no difference because he would have to return it anyway. He then picked up a can of ten cent paint and went over to the old bench and sat down in ease, and began talking to some of his good, old friends. —Clyde Norman. Page 57 “IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE” Sam Jones, who lived at the corner of Pickard and Dudley avenues, was partaking of a hearty breakfast in the back room of his two roomed apartment. He had fried chicken and brown gravy in abundance. As he loosened his belt and reached for the lonely piece of chicken on the plate he said, “Hoy yo’ sho’ is been one ob mah most busu-ment friends during dis heah hour ob culinary partakens. “Boy, this wuz wun av me most successful raids,” said mister Tim Dooley, the red headed Irishman who reposed on an upturned lard can on the other side of the table. Sam, sensing one of mister Dooley’s interesting narratives, remained silent. “Twuz about wan o’clock this marnin’,” began Tim, rolling his eyes grandiloquently up at the rafters. “Oie rolled out av bed und yanked on me clothes in a trice und thin slipped out av doors und up the alley. Oie got under a street loight ui.d took a latter frum me pocket which oie had received the day befoor. Oie read the foist tree loins und they wuz about e’nuff. Inside av the invelip wuz diticktiff Blarney’s card.” “Well, oie shtuck the card in me pants poekit, u;.d continued me journey. When oie got within about thoity yards av Farmer Brown’s chicken house oie got down on m • hands und knees und begined to crawl. Well, sor, oie got inside und wuz just reachin’ fer this same rooster whin oie steps on a apparatus what starts a bell ringin’ in the house. “I makes a grab for the rooster und misses. Then oie collects me dogs frum out of the roosts und starts to travel, but oie find ; out, sor, that there is someting seriously the matter of navigating apparatus. Oie claws at the air und keeps un twisten un turnin until oie finally breaks loose und thin I travels. “Oie don’t stop long enuff to let moi feet go back und forth but oie lets them go around my head loike a windmill. Foinally they git ; wound up so tight oie has to turn around und let them unwind. All t’wunce oie shtumbled und fell flat on me mug. Oie gives the roosters neck a twist und throws him aboud three moils. The foist ting I felt a big han sliden down under me shoit collar and the nixt oie wuz pawin in the air. Then old farmer Brown, for twuz him, says, sez he, ‘Listen, young faller, they’s no need why you should orter be scart of me, ’cause I knows who you be and I’m only too glad you be watchin this place.’ “Oie stares up loike a goggled eyed fish at him cuz oie didn’t know what he was talken about. ‘“See here, Mr. Blarney,’ says he, ‘Oie found your card where you left the back av your pants und so I knows who you be and any toime you want to look around moi place your poifectly welcome und here’s five bucks for ye.’ “Wal, I took the money av course und thin he handed me muh card und here ut is, oie show it to you, ‘it pays to advertise’.” —Devaugh Smith. Page 58 “THIS WONDERFUL SCHOOL” This is a description of one of the leading schools in Indiana. The school is comprised of three buildings, all very large. Though the assembly seats many students, it is always overcrowded, for many students attend this school. There are two platforms in the assembly, one in the front and one in the back. The assembly is equipped with electric lights and fans, and has many beautiful pictures and stuffed birds and animals in it. The steps of all the buildings are beautifully carpeted and padded so that no noise is made while the classes enter the halls. All the students are very quiet, and the rooms are in perfect quietness all day except during the noon hours, when the students are allowed to talk without permission. The walks from one building to another are of brick. On each side is a boy to keep the students in order and to prevent their getting knocked down and run over because there is such a great rush from one building to another during the five minute periods. None of the pupils are allowed to yell or talk in loud tones on the walks. The rooms in the tallest buildings are equipped with long tables and large comfortable chairs. The office of the Principal is in this building. The school has two pianos and a radio. The pianos are upstairs and the radio is downstairs. The instructors teach biology and do all of the experimenting in the third building. They also keep much money in this building, which is equipped with a burglar alarm. All rooms of all the buildings are beautiful, but the most amazing one is the history class room. It is painted a dark green half way up the wall and tinted a pale green the rest of the way up. The red window blinds have fringed ends and modernistic designs. Especially designed stoves are used to heat the buildings. They have well equipped soda fountains and cafeterias where they buy their lunches and get water during the day. Another building, called the library, provides a place where all the students may study at noon and after school. One of the best things about the school is the spacious gymnasium and the football field. With all of these wonderful advantages, the people in the town possessing this wonderful school are talking about building a larger and better school. The wonderful school is called “Sheridan High.” —Frances Jones. “ALMOST-TOO LATE” FOUND—A GIRL IN DELIRIOUS CONDITION WANDERING ABOUT THE STREETS SAYING “DAVY.” Such ran the headline in a New York paper. The article went ahead to describe the girl. She had light curly hair, blue eyes, light complexion, wore an expensive black fur coat, black slippers, light stockings, had a black pocket book and the only means of identification was a small slip of paper which said she was from Los Angeles, California. After the girl was found, she was immediately taken to a hospital where it was found that she was suffering from a terrible fever. The newrs was sent to Los Angeles and put in the papers. In the meantime, an anxious yoi ng man about twenty years of age was frantically trying to find his sister whom he loved very dearly. This sister had gone East to visit an aunt and had been gone over three months, but her brother had heard nothing from her and neither had her aunt. This young man, whose name was David Smith, had traced her to St. Louis but had lost all track of her after that. During this time of anxiety his health had been failing fast, but he declared he would not rest until he found his sister. One evening as he was scanning the daily paper in hope that he would get news of her, he read the headline, which was first seen in the New York paper, and then the description of the girl. “My Mary” came the cry from his lips, then he slumped in his chair and fainted. A doctor was called, and in about an hour David was restored to consciousness. He sent word to the hospital in New York that he was coming and to do everything possible to save the girl. David wanted the quickest means possible to reach New York so he took an airplane but it seemed as if everything were against him, for they ran into a terrible storm which delayed them for a day and a half. Word of the girl’s identity was received at the hospital and that her brother was coming, but the fever had reached such a stage that it couldn’t be checked and all hope was given up that her brother would be at her bedside before she died. After a terrible trip across the continent, David reached New York. The trip was terrible because of the weather and the fear that Mary had already died. Late one evening he rushed from the airport to the hospital and was taken to Mary’s room but she had died five minutes before—died with the word “Davy” on her lips. “Almost—too late,” was David’s cry as he fell upon the bed—dead. Brother and sister died on the same day, in the same room and within five minutes of each other. —Evelyn Sov� ers. Page 60 THE SENIOR CLASS Old Father Time rolls on Another year has passed, We hope we’re worthy, every one To be as we are classed. Together up this road we’ve sped To higher heights, we hope, And may we go as we are led To make a higher scope. We haven’t reached our aim, class, Tho’ we’re proud of what we’ve done, Oh may you now, not stand aghast Let us fight until we’ve won. To all you under-classmen We’ve tried to be a friend, We know you’re all good sportsmen, We’ll love you till the end. And now we have a speech to make A speech, tho’ not so wordy. We wish to say for our own sake “Luck to you all!” From the class of ’30. —Leon Wyatt. Page 61 At the Meeting of the Trails We hunters are young and strong; And now we must be brave, ✓ For we’re at the meeting of three trails; Every minute we must save Because the world, it leaps around us, Spreading on every side; Our future lies ahead of us, Stretching far and wide; Our lives are mapped before us; Now’s the time to choose, We must pick and travel a trail And later learn the news. The sun is rising higher, Our day is going fast, While our day is young we must grit our teeth And turn to meet our task. We’re at a dangerous place, We may go the wrong way, We may travel the wrong trail, And thus waste our day. There’s a trail that leads eastward, Another to the west, But the path that leads northward Is the one that looks the best. The first trail crosses mountains, Valleys, hills, and rock; Upon this trail we’ll get hard jolts, And suffer many a shock. At last it leads down into a valley Full of good fortunes of life; There we’ll find honors for our efforts, There the reward of our strife. The second trail leads ever onward, Ordinary Life is its name; It is quite a bit easier than the first Though the traveler will get weary and lame. The third trail crosses nothing As far as the eye can see, But pastures, meadows, and grasses; And that’ll make traveling easy. But it will soon run into the mountains, And land that is up and down; Soon it’ll come against Ruin, A bluff you can’t get around. So we must be very careful And pick the trail that is best; Thus we must watch our step And not wander off with the rest. —Cloyd Hawkins. Page 62 Adieu To The Sophomore Two short years we’ve been together, Years of happiness and of cheer. Your good friendship we’ll remember, With your pluck from year to year. First as a stranger, then as a schoolmate, Then as a hopeful pal and friend, You have come to dear old Sheridan; But your Sophomore days must end. We hope your names will be written In the book of wonders rare. Forge ahead and make your life. You have faced your trials with bravery, You have heard the words “Well done”, ’Neath the glowing setting sun. Send your good name floating onward, Keep the pace that you have set, There is much to gather yet. So with many words of sadness, We bid you all farewell, Your success upon the morrow We will let the future tell. —Paul Akard. Page 63 - SYLLABUS • M FRESHMAN AHOY Freshman Ahoy, tilt back your head, you lad that’s just beginning, That Boogie Man dees not exist, so face the music grinning. The path they said was strewn with stones, proved not too hard to master, I know, because I made the climb, and somehow missed disaster. It takes a lot of plugging through, don’t think High School’s a cinch, There’s work to do as you’ll find out, you can’t stand in a clinch; But if you dig, you’ll find the clouds that look like curtains drawn, Will vanish as the mists, before the Golden Sun at dawn. The help a fellow gets at home puts courage in his heart. This feature can’t be withdrawn, it makes or mars his start. The Faculty will do its part, and guide your footsteps true. Your classmates wish you best o’luck, if you’ll just follow through. Of course I had a world of help, but if a fellow’s right He’ll find that others mostly keep the Golden Rule in sight. The thing I’m trying hard to say, and not appear insane; Is thanks to everyone and all who made me win the game. —Charles Couch.

Page 65 SENIOR PROPHECY In 1940 the “New York Sun” had progressed until it was one of the largest newspapers in the world. We had achieved the high standing of United Press reporters. So many things of importance connected with the class of 1930 of S. H.

BAKERS CORNER “MARK EVERY GRAVE” McGuire Shook ARCHITECTS INDIANAPOLIS DESIGNING and SUPERVISING ARCHITECTS For the New Sheridan Grade and High School Building Spidel Monument Works Marble and Granite Sheridan, Indiana “FAREWELL” Classmates I love you, with all of my heart As the days draw nearer, when we will depart Depart from our high school; depart from our pals Unwind like a spool and scatter like fowls The thought of departure I can’t help but hate When I think of leaving “My Old Classmate.” When we grow old, may our memories still cling To our old school back yonder, and happy thoughts bring When we were all young and loved one another And each of our classmates was just like a brother To these old memories, hold fast and sturdy May you never forget the “Old Class of Thirty.” It’s time we were thinking seriously too Of what we are leaving and what we will do We are leaving a school that years we have spent Under the rulings that others have sent And what we will do, is what nobody knows, But our memories will never be brought to a close. Now may I finish with one farewell thought That I thank the teachers by which we were taught And may they remember, as the years pass along May they look over the things we did wrong And the old class of thirty will now separate And I always will love “My Old Classmate.” —Leon Wyatt.
