HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. 27 the platform, the Bible open in his hands and the silk hat cocked on the back of his head. “ I should like to ask,” said the pompous principal the next morning when chapel exercises were over, “ if anyone knows anything of the whereabouts of the High School Bible.” Eight heads bent over their books very earnestly and eight people were laughing as only High School pupils can laugh. There was no answer to the inquiry. “ Well,” the principal went on, “ I shall investigate the matter.” The High School bulletin board was extremely attractive that afternoon and every observer came away shaking with laughter at a most peculiar kodak picture posted there. Finally the principal discovered the cause of the general merriment and immediately swooped down upon the offending article. After one hasty look he retired to the hall, whether to give way to laughter or vent his wrath upon the empty air it was never known. JANE DALRYMPLE. Third Annual Preliminary Oratorical Contest. The preliminary oratorical contest held March 30th was an occasion heartily enjoyed by all the pupils and friends of the young people who par- ticipated. The honor of appearing in the Porter County Oratorical and the prize of five dollars were awarded Miss Jane Dalrymple of the Class of ’06, Mr. Ray Marine ranking below her but one point. In the good old phrase of graduation days, this was the best ora- torical the High School has held. The closeness of the fight has been indi- cated in the marks of the two winners; and anyone of the other four con- testants was capable likewise of winning laurels for Valparaiso. Some excellent music varied the program. Miss Mary Turner and Mr. Neil Arvin of the High School, furnished two splended piano solos. Miss Martha Sauerberg, Mr. Roy Bartholomew and Miss Lulu Grace Miller also contributed much to the evening’s entertainment by their singing.

26 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. It was only a short distance and it wasn’t five minutes till they reached their destination. “ Come on boys, some of you to help the girls in. We’ll have to get in here first,” said George in a stage whisper, after he had succeeded in opening the small door. “ Well, you’d better let Tom get in first, for we’ll probably have to put him through by main force.” Tom’s superfluous avoirdupois was a standing joke in the crowd. With much pushing, scrambling and laughing they reached the Assembly Room. All but Joker, Tom, Chester and George stayed out in the hall to keep guard. George groped his way to his seat and got the kodak, when all at once, Joker said in a low voice, “ Boys, there’s some one on the platform! ” All three of the boys paused abruptly to listen for the sound of an intruder for they knew that all of the crowd who had come in with them were at the opposite end of the building. The boys were plainly frightened, but Joker remained calm. “ Give me a match, Chester, I’m going to see who it is.” “ We’d better get out of here without waiting to see who it is,” replied Chester, preparing to make a hasty retreat. “ Fudge ! What for? Whoever he is he can’t be dangerous for he’s fool- ing around the reading table, so I’m not afraid. Where’s that match? ” Gently she stole up to the foot of the platform and listened a minute. The boys followed. “ Listen boys,” she whispered, “ He’s mumbling something.” All stood holding their breath. Joker gently struck the match and a sight greeted their eyes that they always remembered. There, in bath robe and silk hat, one felt slipper and patent oxford and a tuxedo coat, stood — Professor Haywood ! Evidently he was somnambulating, for under his arm he carried an umbrella and in his hands was the large Bible used in chapel exercises. It was almost too much for the gravity of the four. Chester rushed out to tell the other people, who were waiting in the hall. “ Mercy! What if he wakes up? ” said Margaret. “ We would be in for it then sure enough.” “ Well, he won’t. Don’t you worry, but come on and see the fun,” advised Grace Goodwin. When all had gathered to watch the movements of the unconscious actor, Joker, smothering the laugh that seemed determined to come, said, “ Say people, I’m going to take a flashlight of him. Give me your kodak, quick, George ! ” Joker never waited long after making up her mind. Deftly fixing the machine, she snapped the professor just as he was coming toward the front of
