In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Spiceland Academy the senior class presents the first volume of the Academian to the students, and many friends and patrons of the Academy. We have put forth our best efforts and beg that our readers will exercise charity towards our numerous mistakes. It has been our intention in compiling this book to make it of interest not only to the students but to every one interested in the school. In order to do this we have centered the contents of this Annual around the history of the Academy. We acknowledge our indebtedness and wish to extend our thanks to all who have contributed to make our efforts a -success. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. CHESTER L. REAGAN, Principal B. S. Earlham College Graduate Work Wisconsin University TO CHESTER L. REAGAN Who has helped us to form a correct view of life by his enthus- iasm and moral uprightness, revealed in all that he undertakes, we, the Seniors of Spiceland Academy, dedicate this first volume of the Academian. ■' wcafrwmN ' EDITORIAL For dear Old S. A., that has demanded our best efforts for the past four years and has given us benefits innumerable, the class of 1920 has always had a feeling of loyalty and respect. We realize that we will never be in another school where the spirit of altruism is so manifest. We feel sad at the thought of leaving the Academy for we appreciate the fact that we are graduating from a school of the very highest standing and have had an unusual range of subjects from which to choose our course, subjects taught by most competent teachers. Our school life has been more attractive and enjoyable especially during the last two years because of our good teams, both in basketball and baseball. Our class has taken a great interest in athletics and has furnished a large per cent of the men for both teams, having had during our Senior year nine on the baseball team and seven on the first basketball squad. During our Junior year a new gymnasium was built. To this and our well coached team we owe our victories at the sectional tournaments of 1919 and 1920 Since it is our good fortune to graduate on the fiftieth anniversary of the Academy, we have had the honor of publishing the first Academian, and while we have met with many difficulties, we have overcome them to the best of our ability, even to the selection of a name, with what success we leave to the judg- ment of our readers, with the hope that future classes will make it the custom to improve the preceding Annual each year. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. BOARD OF TRUSTEES James Holtsclaw Morris Coffin Clarence Painter Levi Pennington William Smith Harmon H. Rayle OUR BOARD Back of every institution of influence there is some executive power. Spiceland Academy is fortunate in having back of it a Board of Trustees, who are sincere in their desire and unfailing in their efforts to make the school represent the highest type of ideals. To do this they have promoted and are promoting material improvements in the building and equipment of the school ; they have en- deavored to secure teachers of high ideals and seriousness of purpose, and have lent these teachers their moral support. The feeling of the Academy students, as well as that of the Meeting repre- sented, and the Community at large, is one of appreciation for and loyalty to these men who are fulfilling their responsibility as best they can. There are many more improvements which we want but we are sure Our Roard will get them for us as soon as they are able. s EDITH E. WILDMAN A. B. Earlham.

In memory of one so fair We ' ll place upon her vacant chair The pure white rose with leaves of green, Our class ' s chosen color scheme. The Sophomore year was gayly spent, Clouds and sun together blent. The junior year we did not shirk, The hours were filled with fun and work. And ere we from this year had past We entertained the Senior class. That event to us so grand None but a Junior can understand. The golden years, how quick they ' re gone The happy school days almost done. Senior cares concern us now, As to Time ' s mandates we must bow, For our play must soon be given And then an annual also written.

We have been friends together In sunshine and in shade. THE ODYSSEY OF 1920 1916- 17. Twenty-three Freshmen started on a wonderful adventure. Just where this journey would lead or what would happen on the way — we could only surmise. This much we knew, the journey would last four years, along with many other travelers who had started before us and still others who should join us later and that there would be guides on the way. Most of the Freshmen explored the legions where the guidebooks of English, Algebra, General Science and Latin led. Jos. H. Blose was chief guide. Florence Hadley ' s guide-book led to the heights of English, that of Clara Kendall thru the valley of Latin and with Rob- ert Fisher we explored the fields of General Science and Algebra. However, Mr. Fisher left us at the end of the first semester and Marie J. Smith piloted us the remainder of the first year ' s journey. Another guide was Roy Wollam who showed us the realms of Bible Study. Of course, not all the time was spent in exploring, for we had many chances to play. Many of the freshmen boys took an active interest in basketball and baseball. So that those who were farther along the road had to recognize our ability. Along toward the last of our journey for that term, there came the announce- ment that the Academy was going to enter the Inter-academic Contest. There would be a try-out among all travelers in the Academy for the pnrpo-e of sending two representatives, one for oratory and one for declamation. Accordingly, the Freshmen set to work. The result was that Julia Pierce, erne of our class, went as a declaimer and won. How we Freshmen rejoicM ! Our journey was nearly over for that term. What an experience we had had and how we had enjoyed it ! There was only one happening to sadden us ; we lost, in the death of Margaret Rife, one of our jolliest and kindest classmates. In memory of Margaret we wish to quote these lines of Mrs. Barbauld : So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o ' er, So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies a wave along the shore. 1917- 18. In September of nineteen seventeen, nineteen of our former companions came back to take up the journey. Nellie Booth and Estelle Denney joined our ranks. For this lap of the journey we were to go by the name of Sophomores. Just why it was we could never figure out. In the first year ' s travels we had liked certain things better than others. So that on this trip, according to our individual natures, we were not all going to ex- plore the same things. Of course, we resumed English again with Florence Hadley. She often gave us quotations, one of which was: The hours are yours twixt dawn and night, and since that youth ' s sure aftermath is memory — use the day aright. This was Miss Hadley ' s way of saying that we would get out of our journey just what we put into it. Some of the class took up Manual Training or Bookkeeping with the chief guide, Jos. H. Blose. One new guide, Loreta Rush, piloted us through Geometry and History. With her came Lola Haworth, whose guidebook for us was Caesar. Some again explored Bible Study with Roy Wollam. Again our journey drew to an end. We found that the more intensively we explored, the better rewarded we were. 1918- 19. Nineteen of the second year ' s travelers came to take up our adventure again under the name of Juniors. Charles Ratcliff and Bernice Brown joined our com- pany. More and more choice had been granted. Some took up Mechanical Draw- ing or Manual Training or Physics under the new chief guide, Chester L. Reagan. Many explored History and Botany under Irvin Shultz. Edith Wildman guided the Juniors through English. Clara Kendall was again one of our guides in Vir- gil or French or Domestic Science. Miss Kendall had been to Chicago University a year. Some took Bible Study with Roy Wollam as guide. Kathryn Scanland at the beginning of the second semester came to help us go singing on our way. All along the journey the boys of our class had been playing on the regular teams with the other travelers, our upper classmen. In this particular part of the journey the Academy won the District Tournament in basketball. Along toward the last of the year we Juniors gave the Seniors a farewell party at the home of Louise Griffin. One more year and our journey would end. 1919- 20. Seniors, how quickly the time has gone ! It has seemed more like four days than four vears. Twenty returned to take the last lap of our journey together. Four new ones, Wayman Casey, Charles Jarrett, Edna Kendall and John Pratt, joined us. Glen Pierce, who had been one of our classmates for three years, left to serve Uncle Sam. With Chester L. Reagan as chief guide some took up Agriculture or Physics or Commercial Arithmetic. A new guide ' , Clyde Rogers, led groups off into Manual Training or Mechanical. Clara Kendall piloted some through Cicero or Domestic Science. We took up History with Russell Ratliff, while some ex- plored Bookkeeping, Typewriting and Shorthand under his leadership. Kathryn Scanland came again ; some took French and Harmony with her as guide. Bible Study was also resumed again by Roy Wollam, but after the first of the journey Rev. Anderson took his place for a time. All Seniors, with Edith Wildman as leader, resumed English. At the time we are writing this we are working on the play, The Man On the Box, with Miss Wildman as director. Again the Academy won the District Tournament in basketball. Four of the regular team being from our class. The last lap of the journey will soon be over. All that it has meant to us we cannot realize. Often times we have stumbled but always there was the goal ahead if we did but rise and struggle. We have reached it at last and how glad we are! But our Academy and guides have helped us to see yet other goals farther along and that we have only begun our adventure. By their help and influence we feel that we have attained an excellent start on our life adventure. L. P. ' 20 TO BE OR NOT TO BE To be or not to be — that is the question, and it was a question in the minds of about twenty-two seniors whether they would ever be able to learn the thirty- three lines of Hamlet ' s famous Soliloquy. It was an outrageous fortune. Even those who resolved to have it all learned were sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of thought of having to get up before the whole class, and a new teacher in the bargain. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all. But it was only one of the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. ( )n the morning of the fatal day could be heard on all sides to be or not to be. Whenever a Senior met a fellow sufferer it was, How much can you say? Should they grunt and sweat under this dreary life or should they take arms against this sea of trouble and by opposing end all this learning . If during the morning some calamity had happened or something had put a quietus to them they would willingly have faced the dreams after death. They surely could be no worse than this night-mare of life. All went to class feeling that they were about to meet the greatest calamity of their lives. Everyone was holding his breath for fear he would be the first one to have to speak. The thought of the whole class was expressed by the first one who got up and started out with To die. Perhaps she was thinking of shuffling off this mortal coil or making her quietus with a bare bodkin. Out of that whole class only one perfect recitation was made. The feeling of the class was summed up by the last recitation which ended thus: The undis- covered country from whose bourne no traveller returns, puzzles the will, — that ' s all. H. B. ' 20 A ANN-YAL What is it? It ' s the thing that causes a certain Senior class more worry than a billion dollars does its owner. But we all would welcome an opportunity to worry over such a trifle as that. Getting back to the Ann-yal we have decided it is the one chance to gain publicity and to receive attention. And that is what we are after, isn ' t it? Well, anyway, we are going to put out A Ann-yal. A committee is elected to appoint a committee to select a committee, etc. Through this process a staff is sifted out of our rocky class. And the staff had the sand. Ask certain business men if in doubt. The staff was headed by the Ed-in-Chief whose master mind moulded into form the many contributions of our faithful contributors. Expenses began to stare us in the face and our business manager scoured the vicinity in search of money. In return for donations the cheerful giver was awarded a place in our Hall of Fame, namely the ad. section. The staff labored day and night. You doubt it? Well, so do I. Anyway, they worked hard ; collecting history, writing up those basketball games we won, and a few we lost — no alibi, trying to arouse poetic nature and drawing pic- tures, were the main occupations. By and by the day came when the dummy was ready for the printer. It was escorted by an armed guard for fear something would be lost out. When safely deposited within the walls of the printers shop we all returned to await results. What would it look like? Would they print it? and Could we sell such a thing if they did print it? were the doubtful re- marks that ran through the class. It was an eager group that welcomed the printed matter home. We had put out A Ann-yal. R. L. ' 20 President, Myron Brewer.

It seemed but a little while since the roads and trees were Al ( 1 ) -ice, but now the boughs of the trees were fully dressed in green. In fact, it was the time of the season for Chiggers. Some of the members of the class had looked longingly at the beautiful Hil(l)-da(y) after day and finally just arranged that the much talked of social affair should be a gypsy frolic in the shade of the dumpy trees at the foot of the hill. All worked in E(a)rnest, Louise and Lucile were to Harold (herald) the glad news to all the members of the class. Suffice it to say, at the appointed time and place, not one was missing. They knew it would cost money, but they knew, too, that Edith and Ermie had Pate enough to go to help make a good time for the ic)22 bunch. Of course, Ina, Bob and Martha got Hoffy because they had to carry the Chuck steak, fried Chicken and 1 ' unkin pie for the supper, but they became Mary before the time came to eat all the good things, then Walter suggested that they sing a Carol, while Wilbur built a fire to broil the steak. They tried to sing, but ' got it so Hi(gh)-att the place it should have been soft and low, that even the echo was scary. They did better tho ' when they sang Sweet Marie. The only thing that marred the pleasure of the frolic was when in passing the Leamon-ade, Thelma spilled it on her Mid-a (middy). However, she had Grace enough to recover from the seeming Calamity in time to join hands with the rest and dance around the camp fire to the tune of Jo(h )nny get your gun.

ALUMNI Realizing that a great deal of the present standing of our Academy is due to the way in which students and teachers of former days have wrought, we have attempted to make the Alumni section of this, our first annual, of special interest to the hosts of old friends of the school. We are sure that on this Anniversary year as we are endeavoring to increase our bounds and efficiency as an institution we can count on your loyalty and support. May the glimpses of our life at school this year awaken in your hearts mem- ories of your own school days and bring you back in person as well as in thought to The green retreats Of Academus. — The Editors. SOME OF THE BEGINNINGS OF SPICELAND ACADEMY LIFE As early as 1859 Spiceland Monthly Meeting School was feeling the impulses of renewed vigor as of springtime growth. The idea of permanency for the in- stitution was beginning to dawn upon the community. Some of its friends who bad caught the vision made a determined effort to replace their first frame school house, built about 1830. with a substantial brick structure. But sufficient means could not be secured at that time. Excellent timber was plentiful on every farm, and was not then a commercial commodity, of which the owners could contribute liberally toward a wooden building. A good two-story frame was the alternative, with the old bell atop that has since called us all to books. After the close of the Civil War the growth was quite marked and the ex- cellence of the work being done attracted patronage from remote localities. It was during this period that an addition was built to the south end of the two- story building mentioned above, the resulting building was in the shape of an L, known as the Old Frame Academy Building , which occupied the site of the present Public Grade School I ' .uilding. The girls dormitory, popularly known as the Asylum, was also built then to accommodate young ladies who wished to do light-housekeeping while attending school. A course of study was devised that was supposed to equip young men and women for the ordinary duties of life or fit those who wished, to enter college. The first catalogue we have was issued for the school year of 1 864-1865. For thirty-seven years the school had steered the course of a guarded reli- gious education from the a-b-c ' s, through the exact and speculative ologies, literature, and the dead languages. The method had been largely elective as to studies pursued ; all were irregulars. There was no class grouping along lines of similar work done ; no class spirit. If any hazing was to be done, some clique was at the bottom ; and not the under classman, but the principal, the likely victim. A new method was introduced, a new precedent established when two men, mature men of twenty-five or twenty-six years, one of them married, com- pleted the course and were duly graduated in 1870, with fitting ceremonies and proper dignity. About the same time a subscription of $3,000 was made as a nucleus for an THE EVOLUTION OF THE ACADEMY- PLATE I i endowment fund ; and the machinery was set in motion for incorporating the Academy. The unwinding of the red tape from the intricacies of the Indiana laws relative to such matters, was a tedious process, so that a year elapsed before the final papers were issued. The requirements of the school again called for additional room. A two- story brick building with assembly room and two class rooms on the lower floor, and an auditorium above was made- ready for use in the spring of 1872: Five or six years later, a two-story addition containing four class rooms was built across the east end of the above, the resulting building being in the form of a T. The partition cutting off the class rooms in the older portion were removed, leaving t ie entire lower floor of that portion for an Assembly room. Thus completed, that building served to house the Academy till it was razed to give place to the present modern equipment. It is worthy of note that many of the teacher candidates for the public school took the normal work given here during this period. A lecture course, that brought in some of the best platform talent of the country, was successfully maintained for many years. There were three literary societies organized within the student body that were quite helpful in cultivating oral and written expression. Early in this period these societies started the collection of two libraries. First the Crescents, the older bovs societv, and the Lucernians, the girls society, joined their efforts in one. The Gliscos. another boys societv, interested themselves in another. The funds for the purchase of books were derived from the proceeds of semi- annual entertainments given by the societies. These entertainments consisted al- most entirely of original material by members of the societies, orations, essays, papers, declamations, farces, tableaux, etc. Xo musical interludes for some years. On one occasion the societies appointed a committee to ask the trustees of the church for permission to have two or three songs with organ accompaniment by society talent in approaching entertainment. The first one interviewed, promptly replied: No, boys, but come and ask every time. It is of interest to note that not many years after, the catalogue announced that A competent teacher would give instructions in music. The books assembled by those societies came to make quite a respectable showing ; and together with those of the town stock-company library, constitute the bulk of books now on the library shelves. It was a common practice for students of this period to rent rooms, some- times a small house, and small groups, to board themselves. Almost any citizen of the town would take those who wished to board, at reasonable rates, in order t help along the interest of the Academy. During the period of the 70 ' s, forty-six completed the required course of study. They were distributed in nine classes. One year there were none, one vear only one. The largest number in a class was nine. Thirty-five were males and eleven females. More than forty-one percent taught school before graduat- ing, and seventv-six per cent afterward. Four continued teaching as their life work, ore of whom has been instructor in normal institutions, east and west, has written on the techniciue of teaching, and is author of a history of education. One became a railroad man. One a medical doctor. Six substituted the practice of law for teaching. One has been superintendent of the Academy and president of four colleges. Fourteen have engaged in farming, stock-raising, dairying, and fruit growing. Eight have tried other lines of business. Three were married before graduating and all the others were married af- terward except one woman and one man. The mates of fourteen attended school at Spiceland, and those of four have taught there. Four took post-graduate work in the Academy. Nine took professional work elsewhere. Only one took a regular college course. Nearly seventy per- cent have been affiliated with the church. Two have been ministers. A number have been efficiently engaged in some line of religious activities. A backward look at the problems that have beset the Academy life at every turn and the way in which they have been solved should beget courage to meet the growing demands of the forward look and should beget vision and a confi- dence that is a guarantee of the perpetuity of the, Academy for a future of usefulness. — By a Member of the Class of ' 72.

The years between 1890 and 1900 marked a great change in Spiceland Aca- demy as to its relation to the school-township and school-town and as to the per- centage of the enrollment completing the course of study. At the beginning of this decade the Academy furnished the educational facilities for Spiceland Cor- poration and all the high ' school work for the township. The town contracted with the Academy trustees for a lump sum to furnish the house, play-grounds and teachers for the common school grades. All high school pupils were charged tuition. As the time went on in the development of the school system of the state, laws were enacted which took the grade work from the hands of the Academy and placed it in the hands of the township and the high school pupils began to be transferred to the Academy for instruction. The transfer of the public funds enabled many parents to send their children through the full course. This change and the really excellent normal course initiated by Geo. W. Neet attracted a large number of students to the Academy. The outstanding Su- perintendents of the decade were ITos. Newlin and Geo. W. Neet. Among the teachers, Murray S. Wildman and Claribel Gardner perhaps were two who most influenced the character of the pupils who attended their classes. A hasty glance at the roster of students of the decade shows that the teaching- profession was the favorite of the young people of the day. Among those who were students but did not graduate are some who are well known in that pro- fession today. H. B. Roberts, our present County Superintendent of Public In- struction ; Dr. Irving King, Iowa State Normal ; and Edward Wildman, of the Wm. Perm High School, Philadelphia, Pa. Among the graduates of the period were forty-three who have taught one or more years. Most of those living have entered other vocations, leaving but ten men and four women now engaged in teaching and one of this group is teaching but temporarily. It is interesting to note that one man and three women are now grade teachers, two men and two women are high school instructors, one man a city superintendent and four are instructors in colleges and universities. Of the ninety-seven who graduated in the decade following 1890, eighty-nine are living. It might be of interest to note what part these people of middle age are taking in the world work. In addition to the fourteen teachers noted above, • ' ourteen 1 en are farmers and fifteen women have married farmers. Merchandis- ing in various forms has proven of greatest interest to twelve men and four women have nra-ried merchants. Pastors, paitors ' wives and various callings have claimed one and two persons each. Graduates as well as students who did nut graduate are scattered from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. It is this scattering abroad of the old students and alumni of the Christian secondary schools that is such a valuable asset to the Church. Fully ninety per cent of the Christian leadership of church and community have come from this class of students. Many of the old students and alumni of this decade have their children in the Academy now and it is the hearty desire of these parents to see the old Academy take on new life and provide the means to give still higher ideals of life and service to the present generation of pupils. May she live long to instruct and inspire our youth to develop the best that is in them. — A Member of the Class of ' 85. 1900-1910. Murray S. Wildman, M. S. Woods and H. H. Cooper were the superintend- ents during this period with the following assistant teachers, W. N. Timmons, Mrs. Isadore Wilson, Miss Laughman, Miss Anna Moore, Mr. Weir, Miss Maude Taylor, Miss Nellie Hodson, Mr. William Austin, Miss Emma Kendall, Miss Ethel Pierson, and Miss Ethel Publow. Conscientiously and with Christian love these teachers fulfilled their duties. Into the minds of their pupils was instilled not only knowledge, but that which was even more valuable, a noble purpose and a high ideal. The spirit of class loyalty and school loyalty was strong. During the first half of this period interacademic contests of recitation and oratory stimulated de- velopment along these lines and unified the school. Basket-ball was introduced but not played extensively. Tennis, foot-ball, and base-ball were the main sports culminating in the grand finale Field Day. While good times are of necessity the inheritance of youth, such sterner matters as Latin, Mathematics, Science, History and English were not neglected. Of those who graduated, nine have since been called beyond — Jeannette Rif- ner, Carroll Mills and Cora Charles-Carson, all of 1900; Walter Byers, ' 02; Elsie Bell Applegate and Herbert Seaford, ' 04 ; Arthur Rifner, ' 05 ; Edna Kellar ' 06; Hazel Seaf ord- Winan, ' 10. The rest are located as far east as Washington, D. C, as far west as Cali- fornia and in a dozen states between. Just as varied are the occupations they have followed. Among those who served overseas during the late war are the following: Walter Bundy, ' 06 ; Vice-Consul to Switzerland, now a professor at De Pauw ; Flgar Pennington, ' 09, of the engineer corps, now in Colorado to regain his health ; Dr. Walter Harvey, ' 01, Pittsburg, Pa., and Dr. Walter Wright, ' 03, New Castle, in the Medical Service, and Miss Jessie Reece, ' 05, California, a Red Cross Nurse. , Others who have chosen nursing as a profession are Nellie Beckett, 03, California; Berneattia Smith, ' 04, and Hassel Williams, ' 07, at Muncie, Inch Some of those in the educational world teaching at a distance are: Walter Wilson, ' 01, Pasadena; Anna Painter, ' 04, Whittier College, California; Pansy Newby ' Stevens, ' 04, Illinois ; Ruth Harvey, ' 04, and Bessie Sidwell, ' 08, Ohio. Among those in the religious field are Lillian Hayes, ' 01, former secretary of the Young Friends Work, now taking a course in the Hartford Theological Seminary, and Levinus Painter, ' 07, pastor with his wife, Margaret Hardin Painter, 08, at Poplar Ridge, New York. Of the one hundred and forty-six living graduates of this period about one- third now reside in Henry County. Here as farmers, teachers, doctors, lawyers and 1 err e- makers, they are using their bit to make their own county one of the best places in the wcrld in which to live. — Member of the Class of ' 05. ALUMNI NOTES OF THE ' 10 TO ' 15 CLASSES Why hello here. How are you ? When did you come ? And where have yon been these ten years? Sit here on the old church steps and let ' s have a good old- time talk. These steps have heard more than one exchange of confidence. Cupid l;as surely been busy among the members of our class. There ' s Mary Antrim Wilson is chief boss at home while Kerney is now a partner in the thriving grocery store. Minnie Riser Boyd and Nettie Grissom Allen are both living in New Castle.

Lena Shively-f est and Deac are living in town and Deac is at present Agricultural Agent of Henry County. Ruth May and Ruth Moffet, Bernice Henshaw and Clarence Cartwright have so far escaped the wiles of Cupid, but there are whispers flying around that their defences are weakening. And then you knew that Hazel Seaford Winan went to her reward only a few brief months ago. 1911 Then there ' s the class of ' 11. You remember them, of course? Why to be sure.

CLASS OF 191 5 The class of 191 5 was the smallest class that has graduated from the Acad- emy for some time, but we always said that with our class it was Quality, Not Quantity The girls usually had their way as there were only three boys and they never put up any arguments. We were always full of pep and mischief, but our four years at the Academy were not all made up of fun, as We acquired knowledge every day which we have found very useful in our different walks of life The following conversation was overheard recently on the car between two members of our class. Please, may I sit here? Certainly. Why, Irene, I haven ' t seen you for so long. Sit down and tell me all about yourself and our class. I have lost track of some of them. Well, Louise, I suppose you are still in Reid Memorial Hospital, preparing yourself to ' nurse us all when we get sick. How much longer will you be there? I graduate in May, but do not leave the hospital as a registered nurse until January, What are you doing now? I am a stenographer at the Maxwell, and enjoy my work very much. I just saw Leslie Trobaugh on the car a while ago and he introduced me to his bride. He is living at Rushville now. The other two boys are married. Paul Reece lives in New Castle and Frank lives in Spiceland. They both seem to be living happy married lives. Frank still likes to play jokes on people. I suppose you knew that Adrian has left the hospital in Cleveland and is now nursing. Why, no. I didn ' t know she had left. Where is she nursing? She has been nursing around home here and at Lewisville. I think she intends to enter another hospital before long. Say, Pick, where is Doris Evans? She isn ' t at Indiana University this year, is she? No, she has gone there three years but is taking her last year at Wisconsin University. By the way. I saw Waneta the other day. Her husband is teaching in Hagerstown this year. Does Mildred still live out by Greensboro? Yes, wouldn ' t it be real sport for us all to get together again and go out to Mildred and Fred ' s and have a real country feed. Well I have to get off here. 1 hope it will be so we can all be together sometime and have one of our big times like we used to have. Good-bye, Louise, and luck to you. Good-bve, Pick. I sure have enjoyed getting to see you and hearing all about everybody. — A Member of the Class. THE SIXTEEN REUNION It was a Wednesday night in March of 1920. The day had been warm and bright. It was the first real springdike day of the year. Carl and Marie Jarrett sat by their pleasant fireside, Marie hemming a table cloth while her husband read the evening paper. Like all good husbands he read the most important things aloud so that his wife might enjoy them too. Presently Carl laid aside his paper and yawned. I wonder if our class will try to have a reunion this year? mused Marie. Well, if they do try it, I hope they can get the bunch together, said Carl. Suddenly there was a step on the veranda. Then came another and another until it sounded as if a herd of stampeding cattle wtere doing a pigeon-toe out there. Is it a cyclone? cried Marie. Ching-a-lac-a, ching-a-lac-a Chow, chow, chow ; Boom-a-lac-a, boom-a-lac-a Bow, wow, wow; Rica-raca firecracker Biff, boom, bah The class of ' 16 Rah ! rah ! rah ! Tims came a yell from many throats. Then the door burst open and in trooped a crowd of bens and girls. What in the world does it mean? stammered Marie. It simply means that practically the whole bunch is here. This is our class reunion. Isn ' t it a novel Way to have a reunion? Whv, can ' t you guess that we are having a surprise on you? They seemed to be all talking at once for a moment, then Marie recovered her breath and said, You girls come upstairs with me. Carl, you look after the boys. When thev had shed their wraps and were seated around the fire, Marie said, Monkey, monkey, bottle of beer. How many of us are there here? Let ' s have the roll call. Nellie you preside like old times. The secretary will please call the roll. Everyone must answer by telling where he lives and what he is doing at the present time, laughed Nellie. Arnold Templeton, began Ruth. What did I ever do to make you pick on me? groaned Tampie. Come on, Tampie, don ' t be so bashful, someone said. Well I ' m in school at Earlham and shunning all the work I can, answered Tampie. Yes, M ' enia can swear to that, came a retort. We heard about yon boys putting a skunk in Bundy Hall, said Nellie. Not guilty, said Tampie, Monk stays in the clorm. He can tell you about that. They tried to put it in Miss Doan ' s room, but the night watchman was on the job for once. It ' s a horrible place to live yet, growled Monk. Claude Deem, called Ruth. He ' s in Wheeling, West Virginia, in the canning business, said Clyde. Clyde Mercer. Speak for yourself, Clyde, said Ruth. Well, I ' m working at the Cleveland Grain Co. ; out home now, he answered. Where is out home? asked Marie. We live in Indianapolis now. He makes a lot of trips to Spiceland though, teased Ed. Yes, the Pick of all the world lives there, added Mark. Earl Antrim, next. Well, I ' m at Earlham, trying to chaperon Tampie, answered Monk. And who chaperons you? asked Jimmy. Somebody said you put a calf in Park Kirk ' s bed. Cruel boy! joshed Marion. Sh-sh-sh! Don ' t let the faculty hear you! whispered Monk. Edward Poer, came the voice of the secretary. Oh, I ' m employed at the Maxwell factory and hope to be president soon, said Edward with a grin. Froggie, froggie on a walk. Just listen to Edward talk, they yelled. Ezra Hill, went on Ruth. Ezra is in Detroit working for the Tuckett Motor Co. He ' s a draftsman there, said Clyde. Hazel Holloway. She is no more, said Ruby. Excuse me. Hazel Hoffman, corrected Ruth. I ' m very busy taking care of my husband. We live on the farm north of Spiceland, answered Hazel. Just see how she takes care of him! I ' ll bet she ran away tonight, said Menia. Irene Pennington, called Ruth. Oh, I ' ve been at Earlham all winter, but I ' m at home now, she answered. Yes, they sent her home for the measles when she ' d had them four or five times. They didn ' t belong to her, and she took the Flu instead ! said Nellie. Marie Huffman — I mean Marie Jarrett, next. Well, I guess you can see what I ' m doing and we ' ve lived here in New Castle ever since we were married, answered Marie. You ' re excused. Marion Jefferis. I ' m staying at home on the farm lately, answered Marion. Yes, when von aren ' t buzzing Oneita. Folks, he might as well offer him- self up on Cupid ' s altar. Nine rahs for Red. He ' s the first one of the boys to get the nerve. They were given with a will. Mark Thomas. Present, said Mark. Oh, come on, Sonnie. Open up, called Tampie. Well, I ' m still out west of Spiceland raising more corn, to feed more hogs, to buy more land to raise more corn to feed more Put on the brakes, groaned Ruby with her hands over her ears. Menia Jay next, said Ruth. I ' m in school at Earlham, Menia answered. Yes. She ' s helping Tampie shun all the work he can, called Marion. Rovden Gorden. Clerking in a grocery store in Spiceland, came Jimmy ' s answer. In a grocery store? Then why do you spend so much time in the dry goods store? asked Ruth. He wants to learn the dry goods business, too, so he can run a department store some day, said Tampie. Ruby Brewer. Oh, I ' m in school at Teacher ' s College at Indianapolis, she said. She ' s going to teach Domestic Arts next year, said Nellie, or practice domestic art, I ' m not sure which. What another teacher in our class? this from Marie. Ruth Hollowav, now Ruth Painter, went on the secretary. I, also am taking care of my husband. We live on the farm at Spice- land, said Ruth. I ' ll bet she slipped away tonight, too! Who ' d ever have guessed that Ruth and Hazel, the quiet ones, would be first to take the leap? asked Irene. Ruth Ratliff is next on the list and I guess most of you know I ' m teaching at Greensboro this year. What, Ruth Ratliff teaching school? Who ' d ever have thought it? cried Marion. Ruth hurried on, Nellie True. Well, I ' m teaching, too, at Ogden. She told me the other day that she got lost in a snowstorm in the public square and hunted for an hour for a traffic policeman to tell her the way to the interurban station, said Irene. When the shouts of laughter had subsided, Ruth called Venton Brenneman. Oh, he ' s in California this winter but he ' s still deeply interested in jewels, especially Rubies, said Marie, as she came in from the kitchen, where she had made several trips during the roll call, And now that all are accounted for the taffy is ready to pull, so all hands ready! After an hour or so of taffy pulling and eating, and a great deal of fun, the guests left for home, declaring this to be the best reunion ever held. — By Member of the Class. THE SEVENTEENS The years have flown, the dear, dear years, So full of work and play That we the class of Seventeen, Spent at the old S. A. And when the May time comes again. With blossom scented spray, ' Twill be three years since last we met In the dear old S. A. Three years since last we said Good-bye, And went our different ways With pictures sweet on memories wall Of good old S. A. Days. - We ' ve found the path was rough sometimes, The heights seemed far away But we can plant our banner there By striving day by day. We ' re scattered but when comes the time For our reunion day, Oh, gather here some bright May morn At Sun kissed old S. A. Seventeeners where have we all scattered to in this Cold Wide World? Say, don ' t you remember how when we were enjoying our last school days at old S. A., those tormenting Juniors used to sing to us, Out. Out in the Cold Wide World. But, alas, to them, I wonder how they are enjoying it now? Now luniors. I should sav Eighteeners, the world to us has not been cold but it seems wide. Classmates don ' t protest, I as one of you, admit that the world has not been all flowery beds of ease and that we have had many a steep hill to climb, but that every cloud has a silver lining, even if it has been hard to see. You all remember don ' t you, that cool but sunny day, the 25th of May, 1917, when we all met in the office for the last time and all tried to talk at once. Oh, what a hub-bub, Say does my hair look all right. Is my tie straight. What m the world are we waiting on? For pity sakes why such a long face ; this isn ' t your funeral. Cry, who said cry ; Why I never was so happy in my life. Does that powder show on my nose? Cheer up, etc. How well I remember that day. Can it be possible that it is going on th ree years — three years since we each in turn held out a hand and received a white roll tied with white. We are scattered now and sometimes in these three years the world has seemed cold and wide, especially wide during the war, and we have been unable to hold a class reunion. Who could forget those many pleasant hours spent in the library? Hours wasted perhaps if one were to count study hour. But, oh ! such pleasant memories of school days will never be forgotten. And Caroline, our librarian, helped us to enjoy these hours as well as she tried to keep us at our tasks. As soon as school closed she and Hugh left us for Montana and Caroline is now going to college at Berkley, California. Hugh, our Western cow-boy visited us this winter and we were surely glad to have him among us, even if he could not re- main long. Hikfred is another who left our midst. She is now in Indianapolis and is cashier at a clothing store there. We all knew Hildred was a shark in commercial arithmetic as well as her business course. Kathleen? Yes, she married. O how matrimony does break up a class and, of course, when some one takes the first step, others in time will follow, and so Vernon comes next. The boys — well, none of them have taken that bold step yet, hut vou can never tell about the boys, and you all know this is leap year. Myron and Damon are our college fellows. Myron being a sophomore at Wabash and Damon is at Earlham. Ollen still lives in our neighboring town, Dunreith, but we scarcely ever see him. He is one of those quiet industrious fellows, but we all know he is full of fun. Howard, Hollis, Ralph and Cash are still our farmer boys. And we all admit that it isn ' t always the ones that go afar to seek their fortunes in other vork tfrt are successful. We are glad our farmer bovs have withstood the lure of the city and if there were more like them we wouldn ' t have to be pushing the back to the farm movement so hard. We do not only have farmer boys, but we also have a farmer girl, who understands and can do the work of the farm successfully. Yes, you are right, Mary, of course. Emma has a position which is noted for its great number of experiences and has something happening all the time. Hazel, our class President, is studying to join the same legion. Yes, girls, as the whole class get to vote, we will use out- voice and see that our deserving teachers get a raise. Grace is our business lady, who daily cares for the time of the employees of the Hoosier Manufacturing Company. Yes, classmates, we review our past and look into the future. I as one of vou agree that days spent in Spiceland Academy are sweet memories. Don ' t you recall the song we sang on our Class Day ? Gladness comes with our sorrow, Sunshine comes after the rain. The Alumni have joys ; There are memories clear ; Life ' s filled with joy and with sorrow Look on the bright side always. Let Memories recall The days past and gone When we were Seniors so gay. — A Member of the Class. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN EIGHTEEN The class of nineteen eighteen was born September third, nineteen hundred and fourteen and departed this life May twenty-fourth, nineteen eighteen. Deceased was of a lovable disposition, very affectionate and industrious when absolutely necessary only. By occupation said deceased was a student and scholar hut was equally proficient as poet, comedian, actor, athlete, disturber of pub- lic peace, etc. Those left to mourn their loss are three younger sister ( ' 19, ' 20, ' 21), four guardians and a school of friends. Services were beld from the Friends Church, Friday A. M., May 24th, 1918. Now friends we don ' t want you to think of this remarkable class of 191 8 as having passed into oblivion, but time has proven that they are very much alive and active. Miss Edna Addison took a business course shortly after her gradua- tion from Spiceland Academy and at the present time she is a very competent stenographer at the Hoosier Manufacturing Company, of New Castle, Ind. Mr. Robert Grau, having proven himself a motor mechanic at the Maxwell factory, decided to complete his education. He is at Wabash College. Beatrice Boyd, since moving to Indianapolis, has taken up a business course and we feel sure that a girl of her size will make good in anything she undertakes. At the time of our class play we were almost positive that Gertrude Chandler would make a movie star, but instead she equally qualified, keeping a country borne and now we are more certain that she will make an excellent farmer ' s wife. The following year after our graduation Price Griffin Was in the S. A. T. C. and we thought he would become a captain in the army, but he decided that Sherman was right about war, making his escape for home as soon as possible. Since then he has been a very much at home man. Of course w e all 1- new that Robert Hinshaw would at some time be an athletic director. He is making his start at Earlham College, having made good in the foot-ball team and now is doing equally well in basket-ball. Park Kirk, presi- dent of the class, long ago abandoned the idea of giving religious instruction to movie actresses seeking divorces and is very sedately studying at Earlham. Edna Painter, whom you all know was never afraid to undertake anything, took the responsibility of keeping a home for her father and brother until she was no longer needed and is now filling the capacity of stenographer for the L. O. Draper Shade Factory. Eikewise Pauline Pickering took a stenographic course and for over a year she has steadily been making advances as a stenographer at the Maxwell factory with better prospects in view. Opal Jackson was always the musician for the class, and since leaving school has determined to train her talent but until she is ready to leave for a conservatory she is making the best of her time by studying the mechanism of pianos at the Jesse French Sons Piano Company. Arland McNew has moved to California and after making such a hit on the stage in our class play, it is now a puzzle to his friends whether he is going to study with the movie stars or pack oranges to send back to his old school friends. Ruth Pierson has been employed at the Filing Dept. of the Maxwell Motor Companv for several months, but we feel sure that this is not her calling, so beware. Although we had the reputation of being the worst class in school we don ' t think we were very mischievious when we put our colors on top of the school house, and playing bookie is only a thing that is expected. These things only add to the happiness of your school days. However, we don ' t want you to think of this class as always up to mischief for they were not, as the Juniors once said, Although the Seniors have a bad reputation, we ' ll have to own they ' re not the worst in the nation. Every member of the class looks back to the days he spent in S. A. as the best time of his life and in every heart an ardent flame burns for the success of the school. — Member of the Class. To the Classes of Spiceland Academy From the Class of 1919 ADMONITION The days of youth are fading fast, As thru the toils of life we pass. But just one lesson we would teach To those, who great success would reach, And that the motto of our class Excelsior. Although the world be dark and drear We must enter in without a fear, For happy thought and cheerful smile ; Will lighten burdens all the while And help us all along to sing Excelsior. Often times our hearts have yearned When in deep fancy our thoughts have turned ; To the happy days in old S. A. As we listened to what the profs did say, This was ever their message too Excelsior. Those gladsome days are gone at last, And just one mile stone we have passed. Since through the halls of old S. A. We sang with voices loud and gay. Singing ever as we worked Excelsior. To future classes we would say, Whene ' er discouragement comes your way And you are sorely tempted to fall Just glance at the motto on the w all. The motto of the class of nineteen-nineteen — Excelsior. A Short History of Spiceland Academy and Its Superintendents Spiceland Academy was incorporated in 1870, but for several years before that time it was recognized as a school of superior merit. Pupils came from other States as well as from the surrounding counties of this State. An old catalogue for i864- ' 65 shows sixteen pupils from Ohio, two from Iowa and one each from Kentucky and Kansas. During this period the school was under the supervision of a committee ap- pointed by Spiceland Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. This commit- tee was devoted to the interests of the educational works and was very successful in the management of the school and in the selection of superintendents and teachers. Martha Hunt and Oliver White were the first teachers in the new building which was built in i860 to replace the first one. The next school was taught by Eli and Mahala Jay. From 1862 to 1863 Oliver and Martha Ft. Bales had charge of the school. Oliver Bales was a man of sterling character and of broad culture for that period. He was the sympathetic friend of every student and every pupil, no matter what his difficulty, felt that he could go to him with his trouble and receive comfort- ing words and advice that would enable him to overcome the difficulty. Oliver Bales, pupils were not afraid but ashamed to go to his class room with poorly prepared lessons. They know he expected good work and his evident disap- pointment that they should have done less than the best of which they were capable, was punishment enough. in the fall of 1863 the services of Clarkson Davis were secured as head of the school and he gave many years of hard work to the upbuilding of the institu- tion. Mis broad association with the leading educators and school men of that day, and his intimate acquaintance with educational work in general, brought the school more closely in touch with an enlarged sphere of activity. At the close of the spring term, 1867, Clarkson Davis asked for a year ' s leave of absence in which to recruit his health, which had given way under his arduous duties, and to travel in Europe. He again took charge of the school in the fall of 1868 and proceeded to work out his plans for the incorporation of the school as an academy which was completed in the winter of 1870 and the first class, a class of two young men, graduated that spring. Throughout his connection with the school he gave to each student his per- sonal interest and sympathy. To him the pupils went freely for advice and erit- ticism and always found a wise counselor, a just and kindly critic. In 1874 Clark- son Davis, was compelled to sever his connection with the school on account of his health. After traveling for Harper Brothers three years his health so far improved as to enable him for the third time to take charge of the school. This time he remained until the close of the spring term in 1882, when he left the school room for the last time. From that time till the next spring his health de- clined until May 26, when the final hour came. There is nothing in this brief life historv to command the attention of the multitude, it is but the story of a good and useful life. There is inherent in some characters a certain indefinable force which destines them to become significant factors wherever fate may place them. Clarkson Davis was such a character. Edward Taylor. During the year that Clarkson Davis visited Europe, Edward Taylor filled his place. Mr. Taylor was a young man of force and ability. Knowing that he would, in all probability, remain in the school but one year he worked in such har- mony with the plans of his predecessor that upon Clarkson Davis ' return he found the work strengthened rather than weakened. Edward Taylor had an unfailing fund of humor with which he often enlivened the routine of the class room work. Timothy Wilson. The second time Clarkson Davis was forced to leave the Academy Timothy Wilson was secured as superintendent and very acceptably filled the place. Tim- othy Wilson believed there is good in every person. What he believed he looked ior ' and what he looked for he found. He frankly confessed himself an optomist, believing in the higher things that make life worth living. These things he sought to impress upon his pupils. Thomas Newlin. At the opening of the Spiceland Academy in the fall of 1882 Thomas Newlin, a former student of the school, began his services as superintendent. Without normal training, then in its infancy throughout the Middle West, he began to work out theories of his own and from the first his work was a decided success. He remained two years, then was absent one year, after which he again took charge of the school. Without show or pomp, whatever he undertook was done single mindedly, with earnestness of purpose and heartiness of endeavor. Evidences of this characteristic have been shown all through his career, as one of the important elements of his success. For a number of years he was president of Whittier College, Whittier, California, and later of Guilford College, North Carolina. Mr. Newlin is now living in Pasadena, California. William P. Pinkham. During Mr. Newlin ' s absence from the school in 1884 and ' 85, William P. Pinkham, of Cleveland, Ohio, served as superintendent. Mr. Pinkham was a minister in the Society of Friends as well as an educator. He had a high ideal of scholarship, and expected his pupils to attain as nearly as possible the standard which he set for them. He had an unusual capacity for hard work, but found the two vocations too much for his strength and at the end of the year resigned his position in school to give his entire time to strictly religious work. J. Frank Brown. At the close of Mr. Newlin ' s second connection with the school in 1892, J. Frank Brown assumed the office of superintendent. He was a young college graduate with high aspirations and an optomistic outlook upon life. The following lines seem a very fitting characterization of Mr. Brown: Our lives shall be filled with earnest work, Our hearts undashed by fortune ' s frown, Perseverance shall conquer fate, And merit seize the victor ' s crown, The fight isn ' t always to the strong, The race not always to the fleet, Our aim is not to pluck the stars, But to gather the flowers at our feet. l ' ncttKntftN ' N ? J. Frank Brown spent a number of years in teaching, after leaving Spiceland and is at present with the MacMillan Company, Publishers, in New York City. Arthur W. Jones. Arthur W. Jones was superintendent of the Academy but one year. He was an admirable man in every sense of the term, a strong Latin teacher, also well versed in mental science and pedagogy. At present Mr. Jones is Professor of Greek in Friend ' s University at Wichita, Kansas. Geo. W. Neet. Geo. W. Neet assumed the duties of superintendent of the Academy in the fall of 1894 and remained until the close of the spring term of 1898. He held the idea, recognized by all real educators, that the value of the school depends on the ability and efficiency of its teachers. According to the last account Mr. Neet was head of the English Department in the Normal School at Valparaiso, Indiana. Murray S. Wild man. In 1898 Murray S. Wild man was elected superintendent. Mr.Wildman had been a teacher of mental science and history for two years and already had en- deared himself to his students by his kindly disposition and geniality in the class- room. After leaving the Academy he took his Ph. D. at Chicago University in 1904. He has been a member of the faculty of the University of Missouri, of Northwestern Universitv and is at present head of the Economic Department at Leland Stanford University, California. M. S. Wood succeeded Mr. Wildman and successfully carried on the work upon similar lines as his predecessor for two years when, in turn he was succeeded by Homer H. Cooper, w ho remained at the head of the school until 1916, when Joseph H. Blose was selected by the trustees as superintendent. He did good work and endeared himself to the community by his helpfulness and good nature. Mr. Blose severed his connection with the school in 1918 when Chester L. Reagan succeeded him. M. E. F. CHARLES A Loyal Friend of The Academy Emily G. Hyde has laid aside her brush and palette to enter the rest that is eternal, and it is with the hope of impressing the reader with happy, living memo- ries of the wonderful little woman that these lines are written. Handicapped from childhood by a frail constitution, she accomplished tasks and overcame difficul- ties that many a stronger woman would have thought well nigh impossible. Emily Hyde was possessed of the true artistic temperament, but, as she often said, was too deeply interested in the people about her and the daily happenings of her community to concentrate all her time and efforts on art. She went directly to Nature for her inspiration and subjects, and nothing was too trivial, provided it was an exponent of some phase of nature to have a place in her work. A flower, a broken twig, a corn shock or a muskrat ' s home built in the edge of the water, found their places in her pictures. She was so interested in the young people of her home town and surrounding- community and believed so thoroughly in the refining influence and educative power of true art that she interested herself in procuring good pictures, besides her own work, for the Academy. Some being given, others loaned for a time. On the walls of the assembly room are the following pictures : The Asters, The Lilacs and The Iris by Miss Wilson ; The Beech Woods and a Marsh Scene by Mr. Seaford ; The Alamo by Mrs. Hyde ; A California Home by Miss Goodwin ; Corn Shocks, loaned by Mr. and Mrs. Cory ; The Madonna, loaned by Ruth Harvey; and the Brook in Winter, by J. E. Bundy. In the Library are : Lady in Green and Girl in Hammock by Miss Wilson ; Loaned, Vase of Flowers, Harvest Scene, Neighborhood Fences, The Ramblers and The Lilacs. Much more could be said of this interesting character, but per- haps enough has been written to inspire someone to emulate Mrs. Hyde in her practical work for the betterment of the community. JENNY E. UNTHANK The Academy and The Community The most frequent question of the casual visitor to Spiceland is not con- cerning the resources of the bank, nor the luxury of the home, nor the beauty of the streets, nor the fact that this is the largest manufacturing center of its kind in the world ; in fact, the visitor ' s question does not concern any- thing material, but he asks what it is that has created the atmosphere that has produced men and women of influence who have gone from here in num- bers out of all proportion to what might be expected of so small a commun- ity. He hears of some now successful in business and of others who are looked to for leadership by those who educate, and still others who are emi- nent scientists; lie hears of lawyers, of doctors and of ministers, in fact he hears of worthwhile men. We have contributed to almost every field of hu- man endeavor and the stranger seeks to find what it was that fired the am- bitions and fundamentally prepared these men ror such signal success. Was it the luxury of their material surroundings during those early days of preparation? Was it due to their ability to purchase the best there was in education in their day? Was it the exceptional equipment of the school, or the beauty of the landscape peculiar to this neighborhood? Or does not everyone admit that it was the peculiar atmosphere in which they lived dur- ing those days of preparation, the very air of the community. From whence came this magic influence that pervaded the Spiceland of yesterday, and still lingers with the present generation? Everyone who lias visited the old centers where Academies have flour- ished declare that from them has emanated a powerful influence on the life around them which has given the community peculiar halo. Fortunately Spiceland has been among the communities to retain its Academy with the spirit of the good old days and that is the answer to the visitor ' s question. From whence comes this influence that produces suc- cessful men? Their spirit is that of their Alma Mater. Long live Old S. A. ! ROY H.

R. ' 20 ATHLETIC GAMES In a certain sense it is true that each nation, largely, also each period of time, has its own outdoor games. For a great many years cricket and football held sway in England, whence they were imported to America ; golf came to us from Scotland ; croquet, probably from France ; tennis, in some form, has been played in England for several centuries. Baseball has been rightfully called the national game of the United States and is seldom played in the other countries. Basket- ball had its origin also within our own country and has been universally played in all our schools. and colleges. BASKETBALL Indiana is suffering from a raging, incurable, ever-spreading, never-ceasing epidemic of basketballitis, and our community is no exception. Until the season of 1 9 1 8- J 9 the team had to content themselves with a small 24x30 Gym. with a seating capacity of 100. It was not until our populace realized that our team was handicapped only by the lack of equipment and a modern gymnasium, that they united to give the boys their chance and on Thanksgiving, 1918, the work on the new gym was practically half completed by labor and material cheerfully donated. For this effort the team nobly reciprocated and won the 1919 District Tourn- ament by defeating the New Castle High School team in the Saturday afternoon session and duplicating the feat the same evening at the expense of the Muncie High squad. The record of the team this season has also improved, the first two games be- ing played at Hagerstown and Lewisville respectively, the locals having the ad- vantage in each instance. On November 7 Technical High School won their first home game by a 4-point margin. Rushville there and Hagerstown here were each defeated, after which Franklin, the 1920 State High School champions, forced us to accept the short end of a 37 to 4 score. Rushville was again defeated, this time on the local floor and Richmond were easy victims in their first home game. The New Castle High School quintet defeated the locals by two points and Con- ner sville received the short end of the score in their game on the local floor. Lew- isville and Mooreland in the order named were easily defeated and New Castle re- turned to the Rose City with another one-point victory. Muncie defeated a crip- pled team on the Magic City ' s floor and Tipton, Richmond and Muncie all suc- cumbed to the attack of the greatly improved team here. Franklin then came to the local gym and barely won the fastest game ever played on the floor by a count of 25 to 23. The account of this game was ably presented by the following ex- tract from the New Castle Courier of February 28 : SPICELAND PLAYS WONDERFUL GAME Academy Basketball Five Holds Franklin to 25 to 23 Score— Team Shows Class Not Hitherto Displayed This Season — Come Back Nearly Defeats Franklin. Spiceland, Ind., February 28.— Playing purely an offensive game in the sec- ond half, after playing a defensive game in the first half, the Spiceland Academy basketball team held the famous Franklin High School team, picked to be the next State champion, to a 23 to 25 score here last night. And the pistol shot denoting the end of the game most certainly saved the Baptist city team a mortifying defeat. Never in any game this year in this neck of the woods has such guarding as shown by the Quaker team been displayed. Not satisfied with guarding closely, the team members made it certain by going down the floor with their man. This necessitated a number of held p lays, but the Quakers profited thereby. Franklin was scared stiff as the saying goes. The celebrated offensive of the Baptist town team failed to function properly. A play would be started only to find a Spiceland player on the floor with the ball. With one minute to play Franklin called time out and then stalled the last minute. Truly, the gun saved Franklin. — Franklin ' s First Team — After the game the story ran around that Franklin did not play its first team. Every member of the first squad was in the game and not a man was substituted. Hie players admitted after the game that it was a surprise to them. They had defeated Spiceland 37 to 4 earlier in the season and looked for an easy victory. With the showing made last night, Spiceland looms as a very distinct factor in the district tournament Such playing would win any game if it lasted Summary : — Spiceland. Franklin.

Spiceland easily defeated the Evansville High School quintet by a score of 31 to 14 in the cleverest offensive game of the tournament and were out- lucked in their second game, succumbing to the attack of the Anderson High School, which team forced Franklin, the 1920 champions, to an overtime contest in the semi-finals.

Our active and able Coach Reagan At his boys was ever appegin ' , He coached them so well That some, so they tell, Attempted to give them an eggin ' . This handsome young captain named Roger Is the keenest kind of a dodger. He catches the ball. Never misses at all. And swift in the net he does lod e ' er. There was a gay lad named Chew, Who made all the goals that he threw He ' s leaving for college To win fame and knowledge, Without him, what shall we all do? We all know a backguard named Poer, Who can play all over the floor; With a nod and a bound, He turns right around, And soon he has fattened our score. A snappy small forward named Leig Came into the limelight one day And ever since then Time, time and again He ' s played like a wizard, they say. Our tall and imposing friend Lowell Bears a sturdy, invincile soul, He guards with a will, Any place he can fill, And sure pulls us out of the hole. When the coach calls on Charlie He never pauses to parley, But comes with a crash, A whiz and a dash, He ' s sure to e - et into things ' arlv, The next is our valiant young Casey, Who ' s never been known to act lazy. He fills in the gaps. Stops the time-keeper ' s naps, And shouts: Fire the grun there, you crazv ! ' There is a fine player named Myer Who ' s sure to raise the score higher ; He makes goals so fast The foe is downcast. And in tears oft has to retire. Our big, strong center named Reece Never gives his foe any peace. But with a sure fling, Sends the ball through the ring- Till our score by bounds does increase. There is a young sophomore named Lacy Whose playing is growing quite racy ; At the game he is quick, His passing is slick ; We ' ll surelv hear more of this Lacy. A fair-haired laddie named Wright Plays basketball with his whole might, He goes in to win, And makes everything spin With his pluck and his own brand of fight. ncttMn!fcN S. A. ATHLETICS During the past two years Athletics in the Academy has made a decided im- provement under the tutorship of Prof. Chester Reagan, and we are reminded of the Old S. A. when the baseball team, led by John Thompson and Snowball, took the secondary colleges in camp. The spirit displayed by the Quaker lads has always been one of fairness and cleanliness. To prove that baseball has been ably represented in our school we are reminded that the team of 1919 scored 109 to its opponents 14 runs. Tennis also in its season claims no small portion of our students ' time and while no matches have been held during the past year with outside schools, it can- not be said that the spirit is dead, as each summer evening sees one or more of the courts occupied by rivals proving their athletic prowess. Basketball, the most recent of the school games, while only in its infancy, has been played in cur local gym as the chief winter pastime and has afforded many pleasant evenings of entertainment. BASEBALL The baseball team during the games played in the spring of 1919 met with strong opposition on only a few occasions and the lack of effective opponents only prevented the team from establishing an enviable record. In the first game of the season the Academy boys easily defeated the Straughn team by a score of 16 to 1. This was followed by a visit to Mt. Summit in which game the locals returned with the long end of a 35 to o count. Games with a top-heavy score seeming to be the rage, the Carthage High School nine succumbed to the attack of the Academy team on the following Friday on the local diamond by a score of 20 to 1. The Muncie High School team then unloaded their supply of balls and bats on the campus grounds and when they departed the count stood 15 to 5 against them. The New Castle High School team next visited the Quaker campus and were forced to retire with the small end of a 5 to 3 score. The same story and score can be told of the game with the Greenfield High School team when they played on the local field. On Independence Day, however, Greenfield not satisfied with the previous results, issued a challenge for a game on their own diamond. It was truly a day of celebration for the Academy team and more resembled a balloon ascension as the final score was 13 to 1 against our rivals. The following is the lineup of the Academy team during the season : Leigh, firstbase ; Carr, secondbase ; McNew, thirdbase ; Ratcliff, shortstop; Stafford, rightfield ; Pierson, centerfield ; Poer, leftfield ; Chew, catcher ; R. Reece, pitcher. Substitutes : Lacy and Myers, outfield ; V. Reece and Starbuck, pitchers. The prospects for a winning team this spring are exceedingly bright as Mc- New, the classy thirdbaseman, was the only member lost by graduation and his place will be ably filled from the list of subs. OFF THE BAT Leigh, the lengthy southpaw guardian of the initial sack, needs no introduc- tion to the sporting public as all the big leagues have been watching him for the past two seasons and his only reason for turning down their offers have been due to ' his shyness for notoriety. Carr, alias Honus Wagner, alias Tody, shines at the keystone sack and keeps insisting that Chew use a little more speed in nipping the pilfering opponents. The hot corner, usually the weak spot on all school and amateur teams, was ably taken care of by McNew and as a finished high school thirdbaseman was in a class by himself. Talking about class, say did you ever see Ratcliff cavorting around short? Charlie ' s feats at this station are only duplicated by the incomparable Bush, of Detroit fame. Pierson, the stellar center fielder, makes difficult chances look easy and has the habit of tickling the upper branches on the campus trees with the leather sphere. Stafford, the most graceful of the fly chasers, puts heaps of pep in the team and never ceases to entertain the fans by his wonderful backhand stabs. Chew, one of the cleverest backstops to ever don an Academy uniform, is always at home near the plate and never permits the visitors to steal anything more than a casual glance at the fans. They say old S. A. hasn ' t got no speed, doesn ' t apply to Reece, the giant right-hander on the Academy team. His wonderful speed, coupled with a daz- zling hook, aided by his marvelous control, holds the opposing batsmen utterly helpless. Should accidents, sickness or disability seek to mar our prospects of victory, this handicap is easily overcome by the acquisition of four remarkable subs in Myer, Lacy, V. Reece and Starbuck. Myer plays the outfield position with exact- ness, while any hole in the infield can be plugged by Lacy. V. Reece and Starbuck, two youngsters, promise to make the future oppo- nents of Old S. A. eat from their hands. 1923 P. P. SQUAD THE GIRLS ' ATHLETICS While the organization of the Girls ' Athletics is in its infancy, the accom- panying pictures bear evidence of some activity in that line, at least. The first semester there were two organized classes in Gymnastic exercises on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These classes were conducted by Miss Wildman, who because of her experience and ability in this line made them very beneficial and in- teresting to the girls. There was only one class the second semester. Besides the exercises indoors and out many took a great interest in basket ball, there being three organized teams, the Freshman, Sophomore and Juniors. The girls, of course, could not help getting some of the basket ball spirit. Another feature of the athletics has been hiking. Last year only one girl, Mary Holtsclaw, proved herself star walker, and won a star for hiking one hun- dred miles in the course of the school year. This year several more are well on their way for stars. Through the year there has been a great deal of interest in the Girls ' Athletics for thev did not want to be left behind the splendid showing made by the boys, and another year they hope to achieve something even more worth while than they have so far.

Mr. Reagan met a certain Senior and asked her a question. She was deeply interested in her answer when he quickly stepped to the window and gave it an upward shove, motioning her to step toward it. Thought she, What ' s the matter? I see nothing. She said, What do you want me to see? Prof : See if you can hit that approaching zephyr with your gum ! Tan. 7, Wed. — Every Senior carries a far-away look and blank expression, and chants, To be or not to be, That is the quesion. Yes, it ' s some more of Hamlet to be sure.

The men who are big aim to give their product that impress of individ- uality and personality which makes it the power and leader in its field. The penalty of leadership is imitation. DRAPER SHADES have won their spurs because — 1 . They solve the problem of shutting out of the school- room the glaring rays of the sun without shutting out the light. 2. They protect the eyes of the pupils and the teacher and remove all the strain due to improper regulation of light in the schoolroom. 3. They can be adjusted to meet all conditions without any trouble. 4. They are well made of good substantial material, and quality has not been overlooked. 5. They have given satisfactory service for many years in schools all over the country. Please give us an opportunity to prove our statements ?

We always take a keen interest in both the financial 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 preparation and publication of the Stafford handbook, 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 help- ful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and in- dividual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appre- ciate this idea of service. fttffarii tngraimui (Emnpang Artists Designers Engravers CENTURY BUILDING - INDIANAPOLIS
