In the fall of the year ' 16, under the consul-ship of professors, the Educational campaign being renewed, a new legion took it ' s place on the left wing — known as freshmen. Bravely and with unsurpassed courage they fought the battles of Latin, Science, Algebra and English. Also the great Oratorical battle was being waged in which the whole army was engaged. Only six were killed or wounded in all the battles of this campaign. The majority of the legion, brave and victorious, advanced to the Sophomore hill. There the legion went into summer quarters. II. Again in the month of September, of ' 17, they took up arms. Inspir- ed and encouraged by former victories and experience, they fought with great valor. One from another tribe took up arms with this legion. It was very difficult to conquer the cities of Geometry and Caesar ; it was almost impossible to scale the walls or batter them down. Having at last conquered these cities and seized English and History, the army was ready to go into camp for the summer. The losses in the battles this year were eight, killed and wounded. Those who survived were stationed with the right wing on the Junior Plain. Here they set up fortifications for camp. III. Having remained in camp for some time they were warned to pre- pare for another long march. Geometry, with reinfocements, made an attack again this year ; but with a great display of courage and applied energy it was conquered. Other battles were waged in which this legion was victorious. And we must not forget the Oratorical contest, in which one from our legion took second prize. Pitching camp for a few days this legion made merry with entertainments. And as May approached they begin to prepare for summer quarters. In these preparations, a royal reception was given in honor of the senior legion, of the right wing. In their march this year they reached the lofty Senior mountain. IV. When in the fall of ' 19, the bugle sounded the call to renew the campaign, this legion was quite ready, and eager for the march to begin. Two others joined this legion, one from another tribe and one who had received double advancement for his courage and energy. This legion now held the most important place in the army and they put all their energy in the march ; meeting every foe with a strong and willing sword. At last the march to the city of H. S. Education was completed ; the walls were scaled and the whole city captured. Having finished a successful campaign, they were given five days gala ; in which a delightful reception was given in their honor by the second legion of the right wing. With commencement they went not into camp for the summer but continued their march ; this time advancing upon life ' s great stage. Edna Steiner ' 20. EDNA R. BOLLINGER Ed. : Business Manager Annual.

The banners of purple and white were floating in the crisp autumn air. when we entered the ranks as Freshies, under the leadership of Mr. Stricklei and Mr. Mosher. The class was officially organized under the direction of Miss Bonewitz, our class patron. Difficult was our journey, but we crossed No Mans Land, receiving only a few wounds. We withstood the battles of the ►Sophomores, and a few sneers from the Seniors; but by the close of the year we had laid a solid foundation for our future. Battles of 1918-1919. Again we enter the ranks, this time only one trench ahead of the first. Official members retain their old offices but under a new director. More diffi- cult are our battles, some fall under the horrible machine gun. Geometry, which is so successfuly operated by Principal Plummer. In battles with Caesar some were thrown from their ponies and greatly injured. Through all this we came out victorious. Battles of 1919-1920. We enter the ranks this time as Juniors, under the direction of Mr. Fair- field, new officers were elected. Altho clear is our pathway from Caesar and his dreadful Legions; Ave stumble in the battle with the Ancients, led by Mr. Mosher. Some dream of becoming poets and great authors, but when Miss Brenton rehearses the literary records of all great poets from Chaucer, to Emerson, our hopes are shattered and with a sigh we fear we can never become a Milton, or a Shakespere. You dare not turn your back for fear Mr. Fairfield will point that horrible machine gun of Solid Geometry at you. This is more terrible than the gas fumes of the cooking, or the conflict with the Ancients. Long live our faithful professors that they may help us next year to fight our Senior battles.

THE CAREER OF THE SOPHOMORES In the year of 18 the Freshman Company, consisting of twenty-seven un- skilled actors and actresses, entered upon a tour through the land of knowl- edge; under the faithful guidance of the acknowledged High School professors. By direction of Mr. Gregg the company organized as an official body. Thus we were ready for the first rehearsal with the dreaded Latin, Math, Science and English. Our leading lady was Mabel Mishler, making a general average of 94 per cent. Altho she carried honors of the stage, she met with difficult com- petitors. By dilgent study, daily rehearsals and social activities we passed the first land-mark of our journey. Again in the fall of ' 19 our company reorganized; now declaring ourselves as Sophomores, entered upon our second tour; this time directed by Supt. Mosher and other skilled professors. A few members of our old company, having become dissatisfied with stage life, left us, and entered on the stage of Life. However these places were filled by more skilled actors, and this year we were able to produce better plays. Mabel Mishler still remains our leading lady. Altho the productions are more difficult, requiring more time we now close the second tour with much praise and fame.

STONE AGE STUFF ' At a Freshman Class party, Francis Fiery, participating in one of the games played, was required to pay a forfeit. The penalty enacted, was to be- stow a kiss upon any Freshman boy present. Francis refused, saying: ' I am afraid niy mother would not like it. ' ' —Prudence White. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Early in the morning of Monday, September 8th, 1919, forty-two eager, Anxious, wondering boys and girls wended their various ways towards the South Whitley High School building, and there took their places in the As- semhly room and were enrolled as Freshmen. We were eager and anxious, because this was a great day in our lives. It was the day when our high school career began and we were no longer just graders. Many of us wondered because this was our first day in the South Whitley Schools. We had come from the little Red School House in the country and we knew little of the way things were done in this high school where there were so many students, and so many teachers. The second day of school we began to feel quite proud of ourselves as a class, when we were informed that we were the largest Freshman class ever enrolled in the local schools. This record we have maintained thruout the year altho we have lost t hree of our original number. The middle of the sec- ond semester Helen Plattner, formerly of the Columbia City Schools, joined our forces, keeping our total number at forty. In the beginning the upperclassmen looked down upon us as mere chil- dren unlearned in the mighty ways of high school affairs and the weighty problems of higher education. The first two weeks of school we did not ac- complish much except getting acquainted with one another, with text books, and our new teachers. In the course of time we held a class meeting and ef- fected a class organization. We chose Miss Elfers, class advisor ; Robert Clapp, President ; Conway Geist, Vice President ; and Annette Weiner, Secretary- Treasurer. Our social activities were limited to two class parties during the first se- mester. The first one was held at the home of Marguerite Hauptmeyer at Col- lamer ; the second one at the home of Lewis Beard. Naturally we had a jolly good time, which is characteristic of all Freshman parties. As a class we are well represented in all High School activities. One of our members, Robert Clapp, played center on the varsity basket ball team, while in the inter-class games our team made a good record. We are also represented in the Glee Club, Track Team, and the Annual Staff organizations. We come now to the close of the year, the majority of our class having passed the first landmark of our High School career. With great pride and pleasure we will look upon this as being one of our very best years in school, feeling that we are more enabled to press on towards our goal. Keith Chadwick 2:-i.

VIRGIL BOLLINGER Yell Leader t BASKET BALL During the 1919-1920 season, South Whitley High School witnessed the best basket-ball games ever played by a local team. The schedule comprised twenty-four games and South Whitley High School had twelve, to her credit. This is the largest schedule ever played and was with the best teams available. The High School as a whole is indebted to Coach Cunningham and Prin- cipal Fairfield for the sport they have enjoyed. The methods of training and playing taught by them caused many opponents to bow. During the course of the season, the members of the squad well demon- strated their ability to play basket-ball. Captain Kiefcr started at his old position as guard, hut because of his ability for playing the floor, was changed to forward. In the Columbia City game Cap suffered a broken nose, hut fortunately, this did not hinder his playing. Stewart Sweeny was a new man but worked hard and developed in- to a reliable guard. Glen Lehman played left forward and brought South Whitley 1 1 1 on lop because of his clever ability to mislead an opposing guard. Glen is the only one who played through all of the games. Robert (Mai))), cen- ter, saved the teams from many defeats by his scoring on long shots. Erie Matson ' s position was righl forward. In the game with the large rough Au- hurn team, he was forced out by a badly sprained ankle. After this Erie was unable to come back into form and was made first sub. Abe Beck joined the squad as first sub bu1 proved ' .s ability as a floor guard and was made a mem- ber of the lirst live. Laurence Jewett, second sub, played very well whenever he had the chance. Floyd Castator, Thomas Rhody, Fred Fosler and George Holloway, played sub at different times during the season, but for various reasons were unable to hold their places. The team of 1920 broke the tournament record of South Whitley High School by winning their first game from Milford. Virgil Bollinger.

It being some time since South Whitley has had a girls team, most of the members were inexperienced. Regardless of difficulties they made rapid progress through continued practice. Jeannette Lancaster, Jean, center and Cecil Howenstine, Saw side center, commanded their places with skill. Ruth Keller, Rudie, and Wini- fred Harshbarger, Mike, dexterously played their part as guards. Reva Fox, Foxy, and Edna Steiner, Jack, held the place of forwards, while Edith Kite, Ek, and Cora Geist, Ikey, were efficient substitutes. They elected Jack as captain and played their first game with Auburn — a team much larger, stronger, and more experienced. Here the S. W. team was seriously defeated. The two following games, one with Chester Township High School, and another with Auburn, proved more successful than the first. Howe ver, for various reasons they discontinued playing. It is hoped that a team will be re-organized next year. Ek, Mike, Saw and Jaek - being Seniors, there will be a vacancy for new members.

ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL Left to right — Miss Brenton, Virgil Bollinger, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Ft field, Ralph Mink, Dorothy Essig, Stewart Sweeny, Mr. Mosher. BOARD OF CONTROL At the beginning of the school year, a new plan for governing athletics was devised. The old High School Association submitted it ' s power to a new body. The new governing power was the Athletic Board of Control. Complete supervision of High School athletic activities, was placed in the hands of the Board of Control. It was composed of eight members, one from the boy ' s basket ball squad, one from the girl ' s squad, the track captain, one Senior, and four members of the faculty, all of whom were appointed by the superintendent. This gave the student body and the faculty an equal stand- ing on the Boa i ' d. It was found that this method of athletic control, far excelled that of the old association. This was manifested in the High School spirit that prevailed throughout the entire year. Virgil Bollinger. PSALM OF LIFE Tell me not in mournful numbers, Senior life is but a dream. And beware the one that slumbers Will not shine with wisdom ' s gleam. Work is real, work is earnest When commencement is our goal. Wilt thou work with zeal, and leariiest More and more as fast days roll. Previous Seniors all remind us We can make this day our best. And deparating leave behind us. Good examines for the rest. Examples that the underclassmen Struggling on in learning ' s quest They too will imitate what we ' ve been And striving yet, shall do their best. Lois Mink, Class of ' 20. A SENIOR ' S PRAYER Oh : Divine One; be lenient and listen to our earnest and devoted players. Sec us departing safe from the doors of dear old South Whitley High School with that long sought for and treasured parchment, known as the diploma. Deliver us from ever again passing into that hazardous and uncultured path of the Freshman, from the trials and perplexities of the elated and egotistical Sophomore, from the embarrassments and the confusions of the unfortunate Junior, and lastly from laudible and dignified path of the Senior. Pronounce us free from the great battles of Caesar, which Ave have so courageously con- quered, from the trials and tribulations of History tests, from the monotonous and abandoned art of Bookkeeping, and from the massive contemplations an 1 lamentations over English themes and composition. DeLver us from the col- lege literature and bulletins that we are receiving in carload lots and place in our jeans enough pecuna to see us through one of these institutions with ease and luxury. Oh! Divine One, as an appreciation of our noble efforts we grant that our names be placed on the graduation list of South Whitley High School. Laurence Jewett, Class of ' 20. LIMITED SELECTIVE SUBJECTS I really cannot see the good of finishing high school. I ' m taking noth- ing besides English and History that will do me the least bit of good when I ' m through. ' ' These words came from a Junior, named Jane. Why Jane, what ' s the matter? It is seldom you seem so d ' -scouraged, said her chum, Alice. Oh, why don ' t they teach the subjects people like and want to study? I think I ' m wasting my time with some of the others, said Jane. Oh, I understand; three is too limited a number of selective subjects, said Alice. Yes, that ' s it. The thing I ' d like best, if they taught it, would be Har- mony, for you know how I love Music, and most of the other schools near here leach it. Oh, if that ' s the only subject that you ' d wish, I don ' t think your troubles so serious, said Alice. Yes. bin that ' s not all. Do you know, if I had the authority, I ' d substi- tute French fo r that old dead Language, Latin, the only foreign language of- fered in our school; also Dramatic Art. for Cooking. For I think any girl can learn to cook at I ie. ' Flic only reason I took Cooking this year Avas to get the credit for my Sewing I look when 1 was a Freshman. You know our neighbors jusl came from France two years ago. Wouldn ' t it be fun to talk to them in French? You see I can ' t use my Latin that way. All I can do with thai is read Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. Oh ; but Jane, listen. I mean your Latin will help you so much in tlie 2101807 study of these other languages, for you see they are all based on it and so closely connected. Yes that ' s your opinion, not mine. Why couldn ' t I have spent my time studying French and Spanish instead of Latin? Here ' s another point for my argument. Do you know that all the great operas are written in Italian and French? Now if a student wanted to be a grand opera singer what good would that Latin do him? Yes that is pretty good argument, but you ' ll have to admit that these studies will be much easier because of your Latin, said Alice. Yes I suppose you are right, said Jane. Certainly, Ave both are. Let ' s quit arguing and go skating. Dorothy Essig, Class of ' 21. SUCH IS LIFE No use arging, said Bob sullenly. I told you once I ' d never go to an- other party, and now I won ' t. Now look here, you ' ve got to overcome that tide of bashfulness some time Bob. You better make your blunders at our High School parties, and overcome that bashfulness before you go into the world, said -Tack, his ever staunch school-mate. Oh ! I know, but how can I? Don ' t I turn as red as a beet when May or one of the other girls look at me? Don ' t I stutter and stammer around when I try to speak? No it ' s all off. I ' ll have to be a hermit in the future and live in a deserted place. There ' ll be no girls there to embarrass me. No, you ' re mistaken there, old boy, said Jack, You ' ll have to be a Senior next year. There ' ll be more parties to attend than there were this year and there ' ll be more pretty maidens to cast shy glances at you. Stop, stop! I don ' t want to think of it. Why, when I even think of a girl my face burns. But you must overcome this. You ' ll have to go to the Junior and Senior reception. You have gone to every party this year, said Jack. I know I have, replied Bob, But that party last week was enough for me. Now Bob. reason a little. You know accidents will — Accidents? Huh! Some accidents. No, Jack, it was nothing but awk- wardness and bashfulness. Do you think it was an accident when I stepped all over May ' s white dancing pumps and then slipped and fell in the middle of a wonderful waltz? Was it just an accident when I upset that dish of ice cream into her lap? I shudder yet to think of that ruined party frock. No, they were not accidents to my estimation, nor was it an accident when I offered her my arm and while passing through the dark hall. I picked up courage enouo ' h to kiss her. only to find when 1 got in the light thai I had. in my em- barrassment and blindness offered my arm to one of the teachers, and had kiss- ed her. She was looking- directly at me. Honest, Jack, I fairly prayed that the floor would swallow me. Is it no wonder then that while trying to escape her penetrating eyes. I knocked over that statue? And Jack, to top it all off. while trying to make a dignified exit, I stumbled and fell headlong down the stairs, followed by shouts of laughter. I ' m through with parties. Why T can ' t even look May in the face again. There goes the telephone, cried Jack, Answer it. Who was it? asked Jack when Bob returned, What makes your face so red? It was May, replied Bob, And she told me she ' d go with me to the Junior-Senior reception. Now what am 1 to do? I asked her to go with me some weeks ago. What are you going to do? exclaimed Jack, Why go f course, you silly. Don ' t you know May loves you? There you go, blushing again. Don ' t make fun, Jack. I believe I will go. If May still loves me and overlooks my blunders, why I ' m willing to be ridiculed by the Others. You ' re a regular sport. Bob. May ' s a lucky girl to get a fellow like you, in spite of your bashfulness. So long old scout, I ' m going now. So long, called Bob listlessly, for he was thinking of a pair of large brown eyes and rosy lips. What a dear May is, he muttered, then blushed to the roots of his hair and quickly started to work on his English lesson. Reva Fox, Class of ' 21. STOLEN PICKLES Upon my arrival at the school house one morning, I was hilariously greet- ed by a fellow student of the Freshman class. What ' s all the excitement? I asked calmly. Now don ' t tell a soul, but I overheard Mr. Mosher talking in the office and he was planning a party for the Freshmen instead of the usual outlandish introduction to thai class, she replied. From that day on we lived in a fervor of excitement, until one morning Mr. Mosher announced that the Faculty would entertain the Freshmen the succeeding Friday evening. F,vc whole days 1o live through until that great event. A mysterious silence hung over the usually brilliant, chattering Freshmen, to the pleasure of the Faculty and upper classmen. But alas! on that fatal Friday the mysterious silence was broken. There ensued more whispering and note-writing than have ever occurred in the history of the South Whitley High School. Every on. ' was care free, living in happy anticipation of the evening ' s entertainment . Evening finally came, we assembled at the High School building, (a jos- tling pushing mob of green Freshies.) The upper floor was brilliantly lighted, the lower floor contrasting to this was in total darkness because it was not to be used. After much gaiety, refreshments were served and we found to our de- light, pickles, and to the satisfaction of one of our classmen, Tubby, (a veritable Arbuckle) who had a craving for pickles. It was soon discovered (to the dismay of the refreshment committee) that some of the pickles were missing. When the evening ' s entertainment had begun to drag somewhat, a few of us thought it a good plan to surprise some of our superstitious classmen in the lower hall. According we started down the back stairs. Presently we heard a strange, ominous sound which caused us to pause upon the stairs. We missed our brave leader, ' ' Tubby. ' ' Upon creeping down the hall of the lower floor, we observed two bright eyes glaring at us from the darkness. We drew back into the shadows but still heard strange noises. Sometimes there was a hollow ghostly groan and then a silence. This contin- ued until one of our brave classmen volunteered to head a scouting expedition. Creeping close to the door, and in a hollow sepulcher-like voice asked, Who is there? Listening intently, we caught between groans, this word, Tubbv. Upon discovery we found him suffering all the agonies of his wrong deed, the now thoroughly penitent victim of the stolen pickles. Jeanette Lancaster, Class of ' 23. THE LAST WORDS I have spent my days, and now that I have grown old in service they are taking me down. My hands are palsied with age and try ever so hard I have not been able to move them as fast as they should go. And for that I am headed for the rubbish pile while a new one is to take my place. I stopped my work in surprise as I heard these words coming from the face of an old clock, as I was in the act of detaching it from the wall. Was I to be honored with a story from this old veteran? I listened attentively as the voice continued but changing its injured tone to one of contemplation. How well I remember the first year of the High School, 1887. How dif- ferent it is now with its well filled assembly hall from the few who started their career then. Each year I have seen new faces enter and each year I have seen old faces leave. All are my friends and to each I have given infor- mation whenever they consulted me, and I may proudly say, that I was the most noted object in the room. I have seen some of the old familiar faces re- turn to visit and again cast friendly glances at me. Many have I seen return as teachers, principals and even superintendents. I have witnessed scenes of peace and scenes of confusion. Many are the speeches that I have listened to, but I may say that none gave me so much pleasure as the speeches of my old student friends as they told of how they won success in life. Oh ! how proud I was when our boys from the late war began returning to visit us. If I only had an alarm I could have burst my mainspring with applause. And again in the injured tone, But no more of this will I see. My motto has always been ' never to be late ' but I can never be able to follow it again. Here the voice becomes broken and tremulous. Well goodby scenes of my lifework ; goodby dear old assembly room ; goodby — for — ever. ' ' With a long low whirring noise from some where within its case, the tale was ended. Our clock had run down for the last time. Abe Beck, Class of ' 20. CONCENTRATION It is a morning in mid February. Silence pervades the Assembly; stu- dents are intent upon their work — now and then the rustle of paper is heard, denoting that some one is turning a page. Just forty minutes before history class. ' I must master this or what will Supt. Mosher say? ' Oh! let ' s see, Alexander fought that battle in 341 B. C. I wonder what dress Dulca will wear tonight — the gray one I suppose, for she thinks she is a queen in that, but I am not crazy about it. Oh! yes the battle of Marathon was the battle where the Persians were defeated — How — I do hate history, it ' s all about fighting and wars. I just can ' t understand why Mr. Mosher loves history. I do believe he could talk about it forever and actually make it interesting — perhaps he will talk to us this morning. 0! well who were the Persians anyway — I do hope they serve supper cafe- teria style, it is so much nicer that way. It is so embarrassing to all crowd around a table and every one seems to watch you so. I ' ll bet Mr. Mosher will call on me for that third topic, and 1 just can ' t see a thing to it. I d  hope Lucille will go to the party tonight, we always have more fun when she is there. I believe Mr. Mosher said Demosthenes was king of Greece. Wish I could remember history like Mr Mosher— 0, dear, but I never can do that, I am so glad George aand Ronald are going to take a load in the ir cars. It is always a worry to get out in the country. There ' s the warning hell ; thirty-five minutes concentration and I have n 1 .Mastered tins assignment in history— I ' ll just tell Mr. Mosher I can ' t under- stand H and like the good Saint of old-He will come to my rescue and discuss 11 ' me ' Prudence White ' 22.

A MASTERPIECE Have you heard of the wonderful Sophomore Class, That lived and learned with plenty of sass, It used its tongue in a wonderful way, And then of a sudden it — Ah, but stay. Throwing- Brenton into fits, Frightening Fairfield out of his wits, Have you ever heard of that, I say? Nineteen-twenty had arrived. Professor Mosher was then alive, Aristocratic Swiss on the American side. That was the year the Sophs, had fun. And theirs the slowest class ne ' th the sun; Beginning then troubles they found With examinations strong and sound; The class all failed on that terrible day. But Logic is Logic, Miss Brenton would say. Francis TJlrey ' 22. THE DESTINY OF THE SENIORS I sat before the fire-place idly watching the Haines as they leaped about, and wondering what the future had in store for our (Mass of 1920. As I mused a flame appeared to grow brighter and brighter, and suddenly afairy stepped forth, bearing a crystal sphere. Look into this nd it will explain your desires, she said as she began turning the sphere round and round. I eagerly complied with her request and — Behold! What did 1 see! A mist seemed to clear away from before my eyes and 1 beheld a familiar figure walking thoughtfully toward the White House. Virgil Bollinger! ' I exclaimed. He passed on, and presently : saw him standing before the President of the United States. The President,— I could scarcely believe my eyes, for in- deed it was Lyman Slater. From the conversation I learned that Virgil had become a Member of Congress, and that under the supervision of these two clear-minded leaders the Nation was prospering. The view faded away, and in its place 1 saw a beautiful home. Stewart and Constance as master and mistress were dwelling there in peace and har- mony. As the scene changed to the business district of Indianapolis, I immedi- ately recognized Abe Beck as he hurried down the street and entered a build- ing bearing the sign Beck National Bank. My attention was drawn to the screen again by a familiar voice speaking of the League of Nations. There to be sure was Laurence Jewett, the predom- inating figure of the Hot Stove League, and Store-Box Orators, propounding on some weighty political question. And here was Edna Steiner in the height of her enthusiasm organizing Gymnasium Classes. By the medal she wore she had evidently won honor as a champion, all-round athlete. In a moment Edna had passed out of sight, and I was viewing a neat little cottage on the outskirts of Chicago. Alva Sponhauer and his family are living here in retirement, the fairy explained. He has emassed a large fortune from a number of inventions. I had scarcely recovered from this surprise when I discovered Mildred strolling in a flower garden in Florida. She was still the same smiling, lovable Mildred of her High School days, scattering sunshine wherever she went. A beautiful stretch of woodland then came into view. There sat Ocie Hardy engrossed in painting a landscape. Ocie is also a talented musician, said the fairy, But she is more inter- ested in her painting. ' As the crystal sphere revolved I saw Dorothy Hull, first teaching Latin, and then taking up the duties of home life, she having- found the pedagogical path too taxing to her nerves. In Rich Valley I found Triiba, the mistress of her husband ' s home. I at once perceived that she was still the misehievious Triiba of old, and I was Longing to have a good chat with her when the scene changed to Glady ' s home ' n Bippus. There was Gladys in the kitchen pursuing her culinary art to the lasl degree. Yes, Gladys always was interested in Domestic Science in High School. Tin re was still more to be seen as the crystal sphere moved round. Here was Winifred a Matron at the Bowser Company in Fort Wayne. Why, I thought Winifred ' s amb ' tion was to be a Chorus Girl, I said. Yes, she was a Choi us Girl for a time, said the fairy, But she grew tired of such a busy life and found this position to be much more satisfying. A farm-house en the bank of Eel R ' ver, near Collamer, came into view. There Cecil Howenstine, an ideal farmer ' s wife, was patiently calling the cows from pasture. What city ; s this? I asked as one strangely familiar appeared on the SCI ceil. South Whitley, answered the fairy. It is now the most prosperous city in Indiana. There ' s Floyd Castator, she said, as a serious looking man came slowly down the street. He is the leading physic ' an in South Whitley now. I next saw Edith Kite in her home, she having just returned from a charity call. On the rug before the hearth sat a large Angora cat, (her sole compan- ion ), purring contentedly. In Riverside, a suburb of South Whitley, I found Lois Mink, the wife or the Presided of the Bel River Creamery. There reigned perpetual happiness. Thelma and Joe had also chosen the matrimonial path, they having agreed that they could uo1 be happy apart. Joe was manager of the South Whitley Poultry Company, and Thelma the instructor of the Riverside Musical Club. ' Gaynell too, was living in South Whitley, the wife of the leading grocery- ma 11 - ' addition to her household duties she was very active in the social affairs of Ihe city. A mist arose before my eyes; I called to the fairy to reveal my future lint the spell was broken; the fairy disappeared in the flames and I awoke Wlth ;l Start Edna Bollinger ' 20.

To the respective members of the faculty we will and devise the following, to- wit : To Miss Brenton, we leave the memory of our happy smiles and pleasing dispositions, to cheer her in her work of the coming years. To Mr. Cunningham we will the privilege of becoming the leader of school athletics. We sincerely hope that he will go to the rescue of the Class of ' 21 as he has come to ours. To Miss Elfers we bequeath our greatest praise for her dignity. To Mr. Fairfield we leave the privilege of becoming a great opera singer. We hope that he will always be able to hit the high places fairly and squarely. We leave our hearty appetites to Miss Carlisle. We know she can apply the remedy. To Miss Winch, we will all remaining paint brushes, and all notes (mu- sical.) To Mr. Mosher, our class advisor, we will our most sincere thanks and gratitude, for the success he has helped us attain. To Mr. Sivits, our worthy janitor, we bequeath the prospects for a suc- cessful future. We hope that other students will appreciate his work as much as we. Witness our hands and seals hereunto attached this 21st day of May 1920. Class of ' 20. ATTEST: Fred Fox. Abe Emerson. Mildred McConnell ' 20. m °Mi} MUSIC The music department under the competent direction of Miss Winch has proven one of the successful factors of the school organization this year. At the beginning ' of the year a glee club composed of sixty members was formed and was divided into two sections, the boys chorus that met on Tues- day mornings and the girls that met on Wednesday. Both classes met on Thursday, for a forty minute practice. In order that the chorus classes have an opportunity to demonstrate their musical talent a High School musical was given in which each member of the (ilee Club took part, either in the various chorus numbers or quartet and sextet numbers. This musical was given in the United Brethren Church Wednesday evening, December 17, and the following program was rendered : I. Selection by Orchestra. II. Selection by Glee Club. America the Beautiful. Chief of the Arab Band. III. Vocal Duet, Rocking in de Wind, by Constance Lancaster and Ocie Hardy. IV. Girls Sextet. Welcome Pretty Primrose. Last Night the Nightingale Woke Me. I Might Be Your Once in Awhile. V Piano Duet — Thelma Holloway and Ocie Hardy. VI. Double Quartet. Evening Wind. Indiana. Pretty Little Rainbow. VII. Girls Glee Club. Lullaby from ' Ermine. 1 Santa Lucia. intermission VIII. Violin Solo— Theodore Essig. IN. Glee Club. On Parade. A Merry Life. N. Piano Duet— Lois Mink and Thelma Ilollowav. XL .Mixed Quartet. In Jungle Land. ' Over the Morning Sea. Tulip Time. Selection by Orchestra. Glowing tribute is due the High School quartet and double quartet who have rendered several clever musical numbers before the assembly at various times during the year, and whenever they appeared were greeted with a loud applause. Another feature of the musical department is the High School Orchestra. Although they have made but few appearances in public, much credit is due them for their earnest and faithful work. It is hoped that next year they may find the music department as success- ful as in the year 1920, and fervently do we hope that the chorus classes of the future may be encouraged by that loyal spirit and enthusiastic sentiment which is best expressed in the chorus of our High School song. Hail South Whitley may our praises resound, Our shouts pass around, till the echoes rebound, Talk of agility — we ' re full of ability, Never shirk a duty — No ! Hobble Gobble, Robbie Gobble, Rip a ras a res ! Long may our banner wave as ever before The Blue and the White for evermore, Talk of intellectuality, we got it in reality Three cheers for dear old S.

WHAT THE COOKS HAVE TO SAY In previous years, the cooking classes have not been given the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to make delicious eatables. This year the advanc- ed Cooking Class, which was composed of Junior girls, desired to prove their skill in Domestic Science. With the exceptions of a few burnt pies, cakes, and biscuits, Ave felt that we had become very proficient with the dish pan, stove, and some of the other fine points of culinary art. Near the end 01 the first se- mester, under the supervision of our instructor, Miss Carlisle, we were able to serve the students Cafeteria lunches, which proved to be a very popular affair with them. Tuesday before Thanksgiving Ave entertained the School Board with a delightful six o ' clock dinner. The work Avas so progressive that the public became interested. To prove our skill and efficiency at one time Ave served twenty-five people with noon lunch. In January a six o ' clock dinner was served to the High School Faculty. The Cafeteria lunches Avere success- ful, and we realized enough money to purchase a ucav set of dishes for the Cooking Department. The second semester the Freshman girls filled our vacant places. After a feAV Aveeks of practical Avork they decided to folloAv our example of serving lunches- They did not take up such difficult work as we Juniors. HoAvever, the lunches seem to satisfy the student body and if Ave are to judge by the de- licious odors that come from the Cooking Room, we know that they are making rapid progress and will some day become expert cooks. Thus Ave have proved our skill in Domestic Science and feel very proud that Ave have become known to the students, School Board, Faculty and public, as good cooks.

Whether or not the Alumni of the South Whitley High School have meas- ured up to the standard of citizenship taught them by their Alma Mater, or expected of them by the community, the writer is scarcely able to judge. How- ever she does know that a large majority of the Alumni of South Whitley, both men and women, have achieved marked success in the affairs of life. The first Alumni were Nettie Baker and Sadie Vaux, in th class of 1890. Since that time the graduating classes have steadily increased in number until the present class of ' 20, twenty-two in number, the second class of Its size to graduate, shows how rapidly the number of Alumni increases each year. In 1905 members of the Alumni met for the first time in history, for a good old fashioned social gathering- The large number of Alumni brothers and sisters assembled, was a surprise to everyone. At this it was decided that a permanent association be formed and the Alumni gatherings perpetuated. Thus originated the So uth Whitley Alumni Association. Boy Norris was chosen as first president, Fred Fox treasurer, and Bertha Jellison secretary ' . By unanimous vote it was decided that a meeting be held overy three years. These tri-annual meetings have been held regularly since that time. In recent years these meetings have increased in popularity so much, that the coming of Alumni Day is looked forward to with great pleasure and anticipation. In 1910 Fred Fox was elected president, Ea rl Emerson secretary and Dou- glas Swartz, treasurer, and in reward for their faithfulness have held their offices until the present day. This year of 1920, marks the sixth tri-annual meeting of the Alumni. It will be celebrated in Fox ' s grove, August 24th. Great plans are under way to make this the banner celebration. A whole day ' s porgramme of fun and pleas- ure, concluding with a banquet in the evening, are promised to all Alumni who come. It is to be a real reunion day, one to ever be remembered. And now our history closes, to be opened again on Alumni day, when the loyal boys and girls of South Whitley High School return again to worship at the shrine of their High School days and we hope they shall all come.

' ' Freshie: Set, sat, setten. Mr Mosher: Glen, if yon take a cup of water and then add two spoons- ful of soda, what will yon have? ' ' Glen (after much study) : Soda Water. ' ' Senior: Do you like codfish balls? Freshie: I don ' t believe I ever attended one. Mr. Mosher, in search of Joe Myers, suddenly appeared at the door of the Senior Girl ' s Sewing room. No one noticed his appearance until they heard his ask, Is Joe Myers in this class? Miss Carlisle gently turned and said, No, this is the Girl ' s Sewing Class. Mr. Mosher made a hurried exit, amid great applause. Joe Martz: Why do you wear your socks inside out? Floyd Castator: Because there ' s a hole on the other side. ' Sophomore: Did you ever take chloroform? Freshy : No, who teaches it? Where was Abe when the car came? Out of breath. Gaynell: Why do they always cheer when a fellow gets hurt in a Bas- ket Ball game? Virgil: So that the girls can ' t hear what he ' s saying. Mildred (to a little boy) : Can I get through that gate, Sonny? Little boy: I don ' t know. You can try. A load of hay just went through- Senior : Would you like to purchase an encyclopedia? Freshman: I woudn ' t know how to run one. Mildred: It ' s hard to keep track of the alumni. Some are manned and some live too far away. Earl Emerson: Yes, they ' re not all like me. Mr. Fairfield, reprimanding Walter Galbreath for playing with a razor: Walter, don ' t act like you are playing with a razor. You are too little to play with such tilings. WE WONDER 1. Why everything that happens is blamed on the Seniors. 2- Who founded our Secret Service mail route. 8. What Mr. Fairfield did with all those powder puffs. 4. Why Thelma doesn ' t like her staff picture. 5. Why Joe is so sleepy on Monday. 6. Why Lawrence gets so tired. 7- Why Edith likes B. B. 8. Why Edna S. looks so angry when Floyd winks at her. It ' s very hard to get music From Glee Club, so they say, But a handful of some chap ' s hair Sends music through the air. FACULTY EXPRESSIONS Miss Brenton — Now 1 heard Dr. Furness Lecture on this.

Stewart wearing Alva ' s trousers. Cecil wearing a frown- FELIS HORRIBILIS NOCTE A cat sedebat on our fence. As laeta as could be. Her vox surgebat to the skies Canebat merrily. Quite vainly ieci boots, a lamp Sonic bottles and a book. Ergo I seized my pistol et -My aim cum cura took. I had six shots, dixi. Ye gods May I that feliskill. Quamquam I took six of her lives The other three sang still. A scheme advenit in my head Scivi ' twould make her wince. I sang! Et then the host is Med Non earn vidi since. Now I do lay me down to sleep. I hear the Freshman round me creep. And hear the Sophie ' s footsteps loud. Also the Junior ' s noisy rows, And hear the teacher ' s warbling voice Oh! who could sleep in this Assembly h r o 09 09 O .2 «H CO . a; o o 09 . z. - s .

SOUTH WIIITLKY IIKill SCHOOL Stafford Engravings and Stafford Service I Our conception of service to the schools we work with includes much more than merely giving the highest quality engravings that it is possible to produce. We always take a keen interest in both the finan- cial and the artistic success of every Annual for which we are privileged to prepare the engravings. It was this interest that prompted us in the prepa- ration and publication of the Stafford handfcook, ' Engravings for College and School Publications which we furnish, free of charge, to the Annuals for which we work. The success of this book and the fact that we were the originators of this method of co-operation, is to us a source of considerable pride. The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning;, financing and preparation of their book, this Stafford handbook was a veritable gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and individual co-operation you may need, and the bene- fit of our nearly thirty years specialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this kind of service.
