' ' History of the South Whitley High School ' i In considerinK the History of the South Wliitlfv High School it is woll to go back to the irit ' huricc that made a demand for a school doing advanced work. The leadingpeople of South Whitley have always taken a keen interest in educational at ' t ' aifs ami iii pioinotin r school interest. I ' erhaps the early school histoi does not differ- much from that of other pioneer schools, until the year- 18(it)i when a br-ick school house was ei-ected, that was a credit to a counti-y town. This Imilding is r)ow occupied by the Ato Plant. In this birilding the old Springfield Academy held its sessions, and students wer-e attra(-ted to this school fr ' orrr all parts of Whitley ( oiiiity, as well -is sui-rounding coun- ties. Later-, irr this buildirrg, Mr-. (1. M. Nabor-, a graduate of the Indiana State Normal, gr-aded the South Whitley school and laid the foundation for the present High School. Durirrg his superintendence the present school building was er-ected in i 1887 ), and in the same year- a three-year High School course was established. Mr. Nabor deserves much cr-edit for the efficient work he did in the South Whitlev School. He w;is su(-cee(led in 1888 ' by L. W. I ' lu-e, a gi-;uluate of the . da College of Ohio. Mr. Price was a strong school man, and the school pr ' osper-ed in his hands. At this time the town was incor- porated and the school was directed by tiie Township Trustee. Dr-. Merr-iman was Trustee at this time and was alive to educational intere.sts, but for lack of funds was unable to give a long school term. Each year a select school was held to complete the year ' s work. Much cr-edit is due the people, who uncomplainingly supported these schools. It shows the educational interest that has always bee.i char ' acter ' istic of the South Whitley people. In the spring of il890i Mr. Price resigned and was succeeded by J. D. Merriman, who finished the year ' s work in a ten weeks ' select school. ' hen Mr. Price left the Senior class numbered about fifteen. Only two of these remained to complete the course. They were Nettie Baker and Sadie Vau.x, who have the honor of being the fir-st gr-aduates of the South Whitley High School. They gr-aduated June 19, 1890. Thomas Mar-shall, our pr ' esent Governor, delivered the class address. Mr. Merriman re- mained the following year, and in i 1891 i a class of nine irr-aduated. Mr. M. L. Galbreath was Dr. Merrinian ' s successor in the office of Trustee and took a great interest in the South Whitley Schools. He secured Mr. Tapy for Super- intendent, and he proved to be the right man for the place. The school grew in interest and in numbers. Financial conditions improved and Mr. Galbreath became able to give a seven months ' school. This was followed by a six weeks ' select school. In ( 1895) the town was incorporated, and the schools passed from the direction of the township trustee to that of a board composed of three members. The board was able to give an eight months ' school, and later eight and a half months. The school numbered eighty some, and was given a four years ' course of study. In 1897 the High School was commissioned from the Indiana State University, thereby enabling its graduates to enter this and other colleges of equal rank, without e.x- amination. Eight classes graduated during Mr. Tapy ' s superintend- ency. In 1892 a class of two; in 189.3 the class numbered six; 1894, seven; 1895, ten; 1896, six; 1897, sixteen; 1898, six; 1899, six. 0. H. Bowman succeeded Mr. Tapy, and in 1900 a class of ten graduated. In 1901, a class of six; 1902, fourteen; 1903, nine. The enrollment of the High School at this time exceeded ninety. In the fall of 1903, Mr. Colbi-ed took charge of the school. The school began with ninety-six in attendance, more than a third of these dropped out, and since that time the school has numbered about the same as at the Present time. In 1904 a class of ten graduated. In 1905, seven; in 1906, ten; 1907, ten. Mr. Strain, a graduate of Marietta College, succeeded Mr. Colbred. In 1908 a class of nine graduated; in 1909, twelve; 1910, ten. In the fall of 1910, our present superintendent, Mr. W. W. Wells, a graduate of the State Normal, took charge of the school, and in 1911 the graduating class numbered seven. The largest class that graduated from the South Whitley High School was the class of 1897, that numbered sixteen. Comparing the numbers who have graduated during these years, it is significant to note, that although the school is not so large, the number who finish the course remains about the same. In 1896, 1898 and 1899 but six graduated. The lowest number, who have graduated since the school was reduced in size, is seven in 1905 and in 1911. While ten and twelve graduated in the other years. This shows the interest is rather increasing than otherwise. It speaks for our superintendents. The present members of the High School are fortunate in- deed. We belong to a school that can be proud of its records, a school that has steadily advanced until it ranks favorably with schools in larger places. Since we entered the High School, the high standard has been maintained, and we can speak with justifiable pride of our superinteiuietits, Mr. Strain and Mr. Wells. Many able teachers have as-sisted in the building up and niaintaininu our Hiyh ScIuk)!, and are wurthy (jf mention, but time forbid.s. We can otdy congratulate ourselve.s upon tlic able coips of teachers now in charge. As long as our present superintendent is witli us, we feel all is well.

CLASS HISTORY So I ' m to write a history of that class which will soon, oh, too soon leave the school portals never to return. Soon our school days will be over and we will all go our ways out into the world. Some perhaps to win fame, who knows. In the fall of 1908, one of the largest freshmen classes began their high school course. Well do I remember those first Latin lessons, those conjugations of verbs and the declensions of nouns. How hard we thought them then, but still we battled on. Those who composed our Freshman class of 1908, were as follows : Elmei ' Gunnion, Joe Obenchain, Mary Dimick, Russell Stout. Lizzie Havens, Vern Gingher, Briant Edwards, Lloyd Hoblen, Wesley Graham, Fern Miller, Leona McConnell, Lulu Howenstein, Lizzie Smith, Arthur Hardy, Harlev Matson, Blanch Shorb, Glen Keppler, Edna Lancaster, Garnet Mann, Donald Banks, Bessie Enos, Lucile Rittenhouse, Marie Matson, Marguerite Lancaster, During this year our class was organized; Briant Ed- wards, being our president, Vern Gingher, secretary, and Arthur Hardy, vice-president. As the spring months drew near our class was greatly diminished. At the beginning of the Sophomore year our cla ss was quite a bit smaller, for Glen Keppler, Edna Lancaster, Garnet Mann, Donald Banks, Bessie Enos, Mary Dimick and Russell Stout, had departed. This leaving a class of eighteen. It was during this year that we had the most of our troubles. The most seri- ous trouble being with Caesar. Many times we thought that if we only had a pony our joys would be complete. Many of our classmates were unable to continue their work; those who left our ranks this year were : Blanch Shorb Hariey Matson, Joe Obenchain, Elmer Gunnion, Marie Matson, Marguerite Lancaster, Lucile Rittenhouse. Our Junior year passed swiftly without any serious tur- moils, and it was during this year that we starred in several plays. The Corner Drug Store being one in which our clown, Verii Gingher, starred as the character, Lem Pillsbury, who was continually testing the new patent medicines, trying to cure an imaginary illness. Then there was the Japanese Drill, in which the girls dressed in flowered kimonos with their wide flowing sashes and chrysanthemums, looking so like our oriental neighbors, that they were almost unrecognized. At last the fall of nineteen hundred eleven dawned, and we found ourselves bearing the dignified name of Seniors. But we had lost from our ranks Lizzie Smith. Just after Christmas, Clifford Marye entered our class, and Lizzie Smith returned, increasing our class to the number of ten. Our cla.ss was re-organized during this year; the officers being Briant Edwards, president; Wesley Graham, treas- urer and Lulu Howenstein, secretary. The Merchant of Venice was staged before Christmas with great success. Oh, the busy days of our senior year, there being so much to be done ere we finish our course. Soon we will be scattered far and wide but as we turn the leaves of our annual our thoughts will travel back to the dear S. W. H. S. as it was when we were schoolmates with no care or sorrow other than our own enjoyment and pleasure. Long and prosperous be the lives of the class of nineteen hundred and twelve. May it be an honor to the dear old S. W. H. S. and the navy blue and white is my wish. Farewell dear senior year farewell. Farewell to those to whom you are dear, Farewell again I repeat. For alas you do seem sweet. And Oh! how I love that name, That started us on to fame. And as days and years roll by. And we have gained a place In the wide world ' s eye. We may look back o ' er life And remember the ending of our strife, Farewell, Oh! Senior year, Farewell! e«t . CLASS PROPHECY .3t . e .vs One cold drizzly day in Novembei- as I was sitting alone, discouraged with all my surroundings, I was guilty of idly dreaming things uncommon to human life. I longed for something different, I knew not what, neither did I care, so long as it meant a change. While 1 was thus thinking I heard strange voices, which were those of the three Fates: Atropas, Lachesis and Clatho. They sat near Pluto ' s throne, the younger spinning the thread of life, in which the bright and dark lines were intermingled. The second twisted it; and under her fingors it was now strong, now weak : Twist ye, twine ye ! even so. Mingle shades of joy and woe, Hope, and fear, and peace and strife. In this thread of human life. — Scott. The third sister armed with a huge pair of shears re- morsefully cut short the thread of life, — an intimation that another soul would ere long find its way down into the dark kingdom of Hades. After Ustening to the twice repeated words, 1 started up, but could not move, for they said, You Jiave been guiltv of the worst crime on earth, that of idly di ' eaming and not being satisfied with y(ju work in life. Your punishment will be that you are to come to the under world and take the place of the thread cutter. My first thought was to rebel, but the idea had no sooner entered my mind, than 1 was snatched from my chair and was soon in the dark dismal place, being taught my future occupa- tion. After I had been here several months, and had my work thoroughly learned, 1 came across a bright thread which seemed finer than the previous ones, and after close ob- servation I saw, through the dim light, that it was one of my former ciassmates. This inspired me to wind it care- fully and notice every inch, that I might know exactly what my friend was d(jing. It was Wesley Graham, now president of the United States. The union was in its golden age, when every one was happy. I could hardly determine the length of that thread but was finally forced to clip it, leaving the president tfi enjoy an honored old age. P or some days aftei- this I worked with strained efforts, for I longed to see the sunlight and hear the sound of earthly voices. Uut tuere was nothing like rest for me, as Pluto was near watching and strictly enforcing all his rules and regulations. But, as week after week went by I was more enthusiastic and noticed the threads more closely. It was then that I saw a long thread more in the form of a chain, than of single twisted fibers. Its peculiar weave attracted my attention and I longed to know its history, but with the cruel eyes watching me I began to think it was impossible, but at that instant one of the links caught in a rough place on the wheel, and, notwithstand- ing the searching glances I learned the history of that soul while loosening it. It proved to be my old friend Vern Gingher. The links signified a change of scene, which seemed in this case to be a life, first here and then there. He was a foreign missionary, who travelled from place to place preaching the gospel to all nations, and converting many souls. But, here 1 had taken ' the last link from the projection and was forced to pass on to the next, which was a bright golden cord that was easily read. It was another of my classmates. Fern Miller, who was preparing a debate on the subject Resolve that the United States should recognize Germany as a republic. S he had hitched her wagon to a star, and met with victory in the end. From this time on, for months and even years I heard nothing of my former friends. I was also very tired of the dreary task, that of measuring the life of others, but happened to think of the old saying, ' After rain comes sunshine, and my hopes brightened, but here I had a large stout cord in my shears that I could not cut. Its peculiar appearance, and tough flexible texture attracted my attention. The king I noticed was nodding and there- fore I made a great effort to trace its source, which led me to the icy regions of the far north. I could see a man warmly dressed in fur, who seemed exceedingly happy about some new discovery. It was Arthur Hardie who had just found the North Pole, and was standing on the exact spot contemplating his reception, as he came back with the important news. Oh! how I longed to witness the excitement, but here Pluto, awoke and I resumed my task. The following day I noticed two threads together which proved to be Lizzie Havens and Leona McConnell, who were completing their senior year at the Great German College. After the commencement of 1912 they had con- tinued school life and were received into the world ' s best institution. They had not allowed their advanced career to elevate them; but were still common and friendly to all. Here Pluto tapped me on the head and said, Hasten on there are many others. As the night drew on which was scarcely darker than the day, I longed for sleep, but there was a thread in my fingers that gleamed and sparkled in the darkness. It seemed jeweled with bright gems through which I could see the name. Lulu Howenstine, plainly written. She had become heir to a large amount of money and was spend- ing her life in doing good for others. She made clothes and bought books for the poor, and willingly taught the orphan children, who danced with joy when they saw her smiling face. But here was the end of the shining chord and I must take the next which was a short black fiber followed by one as white and clear as a crystal. White seemed to denote something great, and I longed to know what it might be, and here my wishes were granted, for I read in the transpai ' ent substance that Clifford Marye had invented the Steam Turbine, from which he was reaping a bountiful harvest. I now knew what all my classmates were doing except Briant Edwards, but early the next morning I measured his thread which told that he was one of the greatest writers the world had yet produced. His home was in Washington, D. C, where he had first decided upon his vo- cation, and where he was visited by allthepi ' ominent men of the day. He had made several trips across the ocean to various regions of beautiful scenery, and had written them so vividly that one felt himself looking upon the pretty landscapes all over the world. And, yet, I was still in the damp dismal place, the very thought of which made me tremble and longed to be back on earth. My fingers became stiff and I could not use my shears. This made Pluto very angry and he stepped for- ward, grabbed my arm, and I awoke finding myself safe in my own little room. Lizzie Smith . tS SCHOOL DAYS s «j? Ah! well I remember that bright autumn day, When round about Whitley came classmates gay. Year in and year out we have been at the head And borne without flinching, what others most dread. Until after long study we needed repose. Ere we met in life ' s struggle our numberless foes. The students well knew we were best all the while Our hardships we love with a bright, happy smile. For Honor was with us and under her eye Each one was determined to do or to die. As freshmen each one nobly did his own part, For he knew it was best as it lay near his heart. Each day we grew wiser, and sought to admire Glory, which wisdom does ever inspire. When sophomores we really made friends of our foes And gladly we do this as onward life goes. For it is the way of this long path of life. Lessons are long for we must often face strife. And when Juniors we worked with such diligent grace And went walking along at that measured out pace, But near the close of that short happy year We gladly glanced back with a good hearty cheer. Now as Seniors we look o ' er these four years with pride. And see how we gain as the years onward glide. Yet now gladly we go from this room, out to work With hearts light and happy, no task will we shirk. — Lizzie Smith. THE ALTAR OF RICHES CAST Of eHARAeTCRS- Charles Wilberforce - - - Wesley Graham.

SYNOPSIS Gwendolyn Mordaunt Austin, daughter of Philip Austin, a Wall Street operator, goes to the White Mountains in. cognito to spend her summer vacation. She is accom- panied by Lucille Harcourt, a novelist and her friend. The latter is directed by her publishers to write a novel based upon the subject of American finance and Gwen- dolyn suggests that a suitable hero for the novel be found and studied. Charles Wilberforce, a financial king, is staying at the same hotel, and in pursuance of the plan to make him the hero of Miss Harcourt ' s novel, Gwendolyn enters into an agreement with Wilberforce to engage in a stock battle on Wall Street with him. Unaware that Gwendolyn is the daughter of Philip Aus- tin, the Copper King, upon whose downfall he is resolved, he enters into the spirit of the occasion and prepares to give Gwendolyn and Lucille salutary lessons in the meth- ods of American financiers. He declines to reveal the identity of his Wall Street opponent to Gwendolyn and she is in consequence unaware that she has arrayed her- self against her own father and is assisting to ruin him. She receives a message from her father that he has a con- test on his hands which might end in his downfall. Gwendolyn begins to suspect and she discovers from Wil- berforce that he is determined to corner copper. Driven to despair by the knowledge that her father is Wilberforce ' s victim, Gwendolyn plans to save him even though she be forced to violate the confidence of Wilber- force and sacrifice his love. She leases the telegraph wires in the hotel and manipulates Wilberforce ' s tele- grams to Wall Street with the result that Wilberforce loses his battle and her father wins. Wilberforce learns the truth and spurns Gwendolyn when she reveals herself to him as the daughter of his Wall Street foe. He later realizes the sublimity of her conduct and renews his avowals of love for the woman who, obeying the prompt- ings of filial love and duty, had vanquished him. Their betrothal follows and all ends happily. Calendar for Commencement Week Sunday, May 5, at 7:30 p. m. Class Sei ' mon- Metliodist Church -E. S. Rilev. Thursday, May 9, at 8:15 p. m.

Girls ' Basket Ball Team This High School has been singularly fortunate this year in having a Girls ' Basket Ball team; this having been their first attempt at the game. There was such keen interest taken in the game, by both the players and by the spectators, that there is much talk of having a team next year. The excellent team work of the girls was due largely to the hard work of their coach, Miss Hopkins. Beside the team work, there was much brilliant individual work done by the girls, and it seemed as though they were naturally stars. ROSTER.

Boys ' Basket Ball Team .j Under their efficient coach, Mr. Riley, the Basket Ball boys reached a very high standard of team work, and also worked out some fine plays, as well as doing some individual playing which made them all stars. In November a summons was given to all high school boys who were interested in basket ball, and about fifteen responded. From this number six of the very best were chosen to represent our high school, as a basket ball team. The team played some thrilling games. The team, as well as a great number of outsiders, took a great interest in the work, and everybody prophesied a great season of success to the boys, and everything was going along well until, on account of the expansion of the Atoz Printing Company, the boys were deprived of a hall in which to play.

BASKET BALL TEAM. ej f t Base Ball Team tS t Base ball has always been the leading game of the High School, and it has been through the combined efforts of the students that such a good team has been organized, for the High School has never had a coach. The team was at its best last year, under the captainship of J. Wesley Graham; having won all games played. This spring, Mr. Grover Pierson, a central leaguer, has been secured to coach the team, and also to develop a track team, as we are expecting to compete in base ball and on the track at the Indiana High School Athletic meet at Lafayette, in May. We expect our most brilliant season in base ball, this spring. ROSTER. E. Edwards, Galen Ruff, - Paul Cook, Lloyd Holben, Wesley Graham, Ellis Miller, Koler Swartz, B.

Home Thoughts from Abroad was pub- lished in 1845. Wesley. Was it wrote before that? Kaler Swartz went to sleep in school; he dreamed that he was in a balloon, and that the ropes broke when he was about a mile from earth. When he landed he found himself in the schoolroom at the side of his desk, after cracking his head on the floor. Moral — Don ' t sleep in school. Dutch Swartz and Davie Gingher, our lightweight champions of the ring, were put out of the ring by our little Latin teacher.
