Wabash High School - Sycamore Yearbook (Wabash, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1908 volume:

w ■ t f ' - k . A Jffomuorii E present this annual with no little apprehension, for we are all aware that there are many mistakes and deficien¬ cies in this book. However, we ask the indulgence of both critic and foe. Be blind to our errors! See the humor of our wit! We have handed it out pretty generously—our jokes to those whom we thought would appreciate them; our grinds to those whose sense of humor is problematical. We here take the opportunity to thank each and every one who has in any way assisted us in our herculean undertaking. Thanks are especially due to Miss Baylor for the names and addresses of the Alumni, to Miss Robertson for the article on the class of 72, and to Mr. Fred I. King for the article on the value of high school training.

(Our flrnfa Our faculty ' s a hummer, We love each member well, But when we don’t quite like our grades, We think they’re all—oh, well It doesn’t make much difference, We get over it in time And think they’re all the candy — Till we get another “lime”. Miss Moore and Knouff teach history, While Turpin works the saw; Miss Baer has mathematics, And Miss Finney lo’-es to draw. The Misses Pyke and Killen Teach English ’thout mistakes While Gabel has geometry And makes those funny breaks. Miss Strehlow teaches German, And her Dutch is Dutch clear through; While Miss Blayney teaches Latin — A language not quite new. The Misses Hill and Small, you know, Are always very kind. Am merman will get there, too— You can’t leave him behind. So I dedicate this poem To our profs, who are, you know, The best (?) in the profession, (Though of course I don’t think so) And if ever any one of them Should chance to read this rhyme They’re not to take it seriously.

What’s the commotion?” .Junior —“Aw, that’s one of the “raw recruits” stumbling into the assembly room.” Such were the comments that were made when the class of ' 08 entered the Wabash High School in September, 1904. Everything has to have an origin, however, and the members of the class of ’08 who are seniors now, look back over their high school career with fond recollections of the errors made at the be¬ ginning—errors which are common to freshmen. ' 08 lias won a reputation for itself in a variety of ways- in foot ball, basket ball, and the publication of the high school paper. The girl ' s basket ball team is worthy of notice on account of contests in their junior year in which they defeated the seniors. Moreover, the class has the distinction of having a member who has been captain of all the athletic teams in the W. H. S. In their sophomore year the boys distinguished themselves from the freshmen by wearing neat blue jerseys adorned with an old gold ' 08. The same year class pins were chosen with very good taste. When juniors they awarded the seniors an elaborate banquet and dance, and as “all things come to him who waits” this year they are to be the honored guests at a similar banquet. As seniors, this year the representatives of ’08 have endeavored to set a good example, and doubtless we juniors would have found their example worthy of following if we had not had ideals of our own.

One occasion on which the junior does enter the senior ' s perspective is on the night of the junior banquet. On this night, Oh juniors, we, the mighty seniors of ’08, will stoop to honor you by our amiable chatter. So take heed that you prepare a banquet table which shall do jus¬ tice to our honorable presence. But first, congratulations are in order. You have what we lack, a literary society, an organization which does you credit. Here is a revelation we must face—you are a finer lot than we. Don’t be conceited, any of you, for I speak quite impersonally. Where your class “sports” a literary society, w r e far surpass you in athletics and good looks. No, that is not con¬ ceit,—just plain facts. But no more of arguing. A senior stoops to argue with no one but of his own station in life. We seniors cannot but entertain a certain feel¬ ing of jealousy for you. We are passing out of the high school life, whereas you have all the joys before you—joys of domineering over the juniors of next year just as we have domineered over you. You are now light and frivolous, but w T ait, just wait. You, too, will be as dignified as we some day, although you have a long way to journey before you arrive at a senior’s dignity. But cheer up, ye juniors! The journey, al¬ though sometimes full of thorns, will blossom out into unexpected joys, which are not realized until too late. A year’s grace. Then you will go out from the high school t o take your place among the few or with the many, as leaders or as followers. Responsibility! That is what the senior year brings to you, as leaders, in whose footsteps will fol¬ low the juniors of future generations. And now we must say farewell to these dear old days of ’08— “And dream, while our new years we fill With consecration from those four, That we are known and loved there still, Though we come back no more.” Junior (Elaaa ’09 HARRY CHAPITER, PRESIDENT RUTH MYERS, Vice-President • MARY LYNN | Secretary t Treasurer BAKER, GLEN LUTZ, NED BENHAM, HERBERT MOONE, WARNER BOYCE.

The sophomore passes from the state of the modest, tractable freshman to the state of the self-re¬ liant upper classman. Among the innumerable dangers of this period, the worst is a mania for notoriety, which is in itself a terrible affliction that is often at¬ tended with fatal results. All sophomores try to gain the coveted prize, notoriety, by many different ways. Perhaps the most popular is by means of athletics. .Butin this branch of their education they are usually lacking on account of their instability. The sophomores are better represented on the side lines than in the line-up of a foot ball season. Another way to be hailed as a genius is by doing great deeds in recitation work. In order to accomplish this the sophomore puts in extra hours of toil in the five o ' clock class. But by far the greatest accomplishment of the illustrious sophomore is his power of moving all, even the stones and trees, by his oratory. He commits to memory a long speech of his own make and recites it before others of his school, hoping to gain their ap¬ plause. Of course he fails because they cannot un¬ derstand his high and mighty thoughts. Perhaps with his resplendent class pin in a more conspicuous place, the applause would have been forthcoming. The unfortunate sophomore in this state is to be pitied rather than censured; therefore do not judge him harshly. He may at last recover from his piti¬ able plight. At least, let us sincerely hope that his trouble may not be fatal, and that through the be¬ nign influences of his teachers and associates, he may reach the threshold of the junior year, perhaps sadder, but much wiser.

(■Bv n j nghamorr) N the morning of the ninth of September ? nineteen hundred seven, the prospective “freshies” arrived en masse, as multifarious as Heinz’s “57 varieties”. Some came under the fond protection of some trust-worthy friend who had grown accustomed to the rules and regulations of the Wabash High School, while others came in crowds for the purpose of guid¬ ing and advising each other, if not to share their embarrass¬ ment. However, the members of this class have shown marked improvement from the very first. Early in the school year a most admirable choice of class officers was made; next the boys, adopted jersey-vests, graced by the numerals 1911; the class further showed their progressive spirit by ordering class-pins in their freshman year. The class of nineteen hundred eleven has had representatives in our orchestra, and in our foot ball squad, and its members have shown in their class work that with a very little more of the softening, refining influence of the upper class-men, this class will stand out boldly as a model group of students of the W.

So, mid volcanic erup¬ tion the Junior Literary Society of the Wabash High School was organized and put into action. The first meeting was held Nov. 13, 1907 with forty-four members. The officers elected at this meeting were as follows:— Grants Affirmative: Negative: I. Verne Sholty. 1. Thomas Rockwell 2. Fred Robertson. 2. Harry Chapler. 3 - Lamoine Jenkins. 3. Carl Boyce. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Literary Critic Vice-Critic Sargeant-at-Arms Harry Chapter Tennie Talbert . . Neel Otis Thomas Rockwell Addie Chandler Carl Boyce Verne Sholty During the term of these officers a mock trial was held by the society, not so much to force the payment of a fine, as for the intellectual benefit of the members, The enormous fine of fifteen cents had been imposed upon our honorable treasurer. Feeling that the constitution justified his act, he refused to pay. Hence the litigation. The case having been fought long and bitterly, was given to the j ' ury, who, after a lapse of time returned to the court¬ room and reported that they were unable to agree. The defendant rather than bear the expense of a new trial, agreed to pay his fine, DEFENDANT’S LAWYER. SOCIETY’S LAWYER. Fred Robertson. Verne Sholty. Perhaps the most interesting event after this was an open meeting at which the boys debated. The subject was: “Resolved, “That Interscholastic Games Should Be Abolished. ' ’ Both sides brought forward many strong points, but the victory was awarded to the affirmative. January 29, 1908, the new officers were elected. The names follow: President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Literary Critic Sargeant-at-Arms Thomas Rockwell Ruth Myers Ruth Garretson Irene Barcus Carl Boyce Lamoine Jenkins One of the pleasantest events of the new term was a bib¬ ride. Lena Gurtner had very kindly invited the society to her home on the Walnut Tree pike. At promptly 7:15 o ' clock two bob-loads of us left Wabash. Never in the history of man has any organization partaken of more pleasure than did the Junior Literary Society that evening of February 20, 1908. We enjoyed Miss Baer’s dance hugely, and also the “eats,” which were de¬ licious and abundant. We feel that the Junior Literary Society has accomplished as much as. if not more than, could possibly be expected of any high school literary organization. In the future many famous men and women will doubtless say, “I date the beginning of un¬ successful career to the old Literary Society of the Wabash High School of the class of 1909.” (Ibr Junior Slttrrarxj nrtrtu lumbers af t Jmttnr Slttrrarxj iiwtrtxj MILDRED ADAMS.

Under the direction of Miss Cora Small a cantata, an opera, and several public recitals of glee clubs have been given, the results fully meriting the time and energy Miss Small has spent. Comparatively few schools have music by the en¬ tire school unless it is compulsory, but in Wabash prac¬ tically the entire three hundred pupils are in the chorus. In this way many have received valuable training for which they could not or would not have taken the time otherwise. An orchestra was formed two years ago and this, also under the direction of Miss Small, has been highly successful, appearing several times in school concerts. Much of the success of both organizations is due to the assistance of the accompanists, Hazel Bent, Muriel King and Jennie Rammell. Miss Small is to be highly complimented on the success of both the chorus and the orchestra, to which she has so largely contributed. The members of the orchestra are: Jennie Rammell.Piano John Olsen.First Violin Helen Clark.First Violin John Chandle r.First Violin Laura Craig.Second Violin Bernice Jones.Second Violin Russell Coate.Second Violin Florence Colbert.Guitar Addie Chandler.Guitar Victoria Jordan.Violincello Blanche Baker.Mandolin Mildred McCreary.Mandolin A (if 3Ii? i rglt dionl. In the Valley of the Wabash, By the smooth and gliding river, Lies the peaceful town of Wabash. On the hilltop stands the High School; Toward its portals in the morning, When the hour of nine is sounding, Haste with anxious steps the students, To arrive before the moment When the voice of Knouff, the Mighty, Calls the noisy horde to order; Sends the “Freshies” to their corner, And the Seniors to the class rooms; Others drop where they are able. When, o’er all this vast assemblage, Silence, as of night has fallen, Sounds in sonorous tones, the music Of the voice of Cyrus W., Asking for the absent members, Telling of the coming epochs. When his flow of words is ended, Slowly file departing classes To the precincts of the class-rooms, Where they learn abundant wisdom, Of the mysteries of science, Of the ancient tongue of Lat in, Of the source of modern history. When the clamor has subsided, Leaving all in ominous silence, There is heard the bang and rattle Of a well directed pencil Thrown by one with aim unerring At the swinging thermometer, Quickly followed by the giggle Of the ever grinning freshman. As he looks with glance unswerving From the open book before him, Thro the portal comes the figure Of the angry supervisor; His true eye lias seen the motion Of the drawn back arm, and also Caught the meaning of the attention Paid by “Freshie” to his text book. Straight up thro the narrow aisle-way Walks, he, and he grasps the freshman By the place where goes in knowledge (Not to stop, but only tarry) And removes him to the hallway From whence comes the sound of weepin Caused by use of the “mush-paddle.” Peace has once more settled o’er all, When our principal, returning, Starts the echoes all resounding Thro the corridors and hallways, By the pressure of his fingers On the row of pearl-topped buttons, Ending with such calm indifference One more hour of our dear school life! This is but one of the many Incidents, that knit us closer To the life within the High School. Herbert Freeh, ’08. Tennie Talbert, ' 09.

Professor Knouff, B. A., A. M., Ph. D., L. L. D., “Prexy” of Yale University, is ordered to Europe for a rest from overwork. Leaving his brilliant son, Alfred, at Yale in pursuit of knowledge (?) he starts for Europe with his wife; and the following is taken from conver¬ sations ensuing in proper sequence of time. Dramatis Personae: Members of Class of ’08. Porters, businessmen, officers on board, etc. Scenes—New Haven, London and Cairo. Time—Autumn of 1918. Act I. Scene 1: New Haven—“Prexy’s” library Enter “Cyrus the First” and “Cyrus the Second.” Cyrus Junior: Now, father, you might just as well give in and let me go along with you. What good will I do here without you to look after me? Look at the pro¬ fessors I have to study under; “Single” Langston, “Preacher” Mills, “Brilliant” Young, “Blondy” Du¬ bois, “Science” Taber. Aren’t they enough to make any fellow cut the town? Then there’s chapel every morning, where I have to listen to Buchholz and Freeh expound the law for about two hours. Look at the choir. There ' s Miss Green, Mrs. Madge G.Reed, Miss Martin, and some others along the same line. Now, father, you know they are all right, but like everything else, sort of out of date. What I want is something new and ex¬ citing. Cyrus Senior: Young man, you might just as well be still, for— Enter Maid. Maid: The men are here after the trunks, sir, and your wife is ready and waiting for you. Cyrus Senior: All right, Bertha, I will be right down. (Exit Maid.) You see that it is absolutely useless to say anything else about going. Everything is ready and we will be gone in an hour. Telephone to Bahler ' s Auto Inn and have a machine sent round at once. Curtain. Scene 2.—On board the ship sailing for England. Mr. Knouff ' : Hello! Captain Mattern. I hear you were married last month. Well, Hazel M. is a fine young lady. Accept my heartiest congratulations. There seems to be an extraordinary number of passengers on board. Cap. Mattern: Yes, it is a little unusual to be so over crowded, but you know there is a bunch going over to London in time for the opening of the great Wilson Stiggleman Theatre. Madame Johnson is going to open the playhouse next week, starring in the Williams Twins Opera, “Sweet Sweetser,” named after the renowned soprano who made such a hit with the royalty at Lady Gidley’s drawing-room musical last year in London. (Giving orders,) Shannahan, step around lively. Epply, first mate, Rector complained to me about you this morning. No more hanging around the kitchen talking to Miss Hau- pert and Miss Hughes. To Mr. Knouff: There goes the noted authoress, Miss Blake, and her boon companion, Miss Thompson, the hair dresser. Odd pair, aren ' t they? But you know they were always together in those good old days of 1908 at Wabash. Well, the gong is ringing for dinner, so must go. Will see you later, old man. Curtain. Act 2. Scene 1.—A street scene in London. Enter Knouff, looking up at a name over the door of a huge edifice, reads: “Hotel De Avalon, Dayton Walk¬ er, Proprietor.” Can this prosperous looking establish¬ ment belong to the sleepy, easy-going senior to whom I tried to teach history years ago? We will enter, my dear, and find out. (Enter.) Going up to hotel clerk: Is this hotel—Why, if this isrf’t “Bashful” Smith of Indiana! Awfully glad to meet you. Just came in to see if this could be the Hoosier Dayton Walker. Mrs. Knouff, Mr. Smith. Smith: How do you do Mrs. Knouff Yes, Profes¬ sor, it’s the same old “sport,” but he’s just sailed for America on business. While there he expects to attend the weddings of our two friends, Misses Ward and Jackson. By the way we received word the other day that Mrs. Hazel Whitcraft T’s husband was killed by the vaudeville star, Madame Graden, who has since been pronounced insane and sent to the Unger Moone Sanitarium. Mr. Knouff: Well, I declare! I did have better hopes for that young lady. But such is life. Do you think we could be accommodated here for a week or two? My wife wishes to do some shopping before go¬ ing any further. Smith: I will give you the best we have. I sup¬ pose, like everybody else, Mrs. Knouff, you intend to visit the Dawes White tailoring establishment, and the great hat-fashioners, Mesdames Ball and Morrow? To Porter: Barnett, this party to room 116. To Knouff: Dinner will be served about 8:20. Will see you then, I hope. Curtain. Scene 2.—In the great McGriff Circus tent. (Mr. and Mrs. Knouff seated on top saateating peanuts.) Mr. Knouff to wife: Well, this seems like old times. Do you remember when we used to take Alfred to the Dog Pony shows at Wabash, only—Well, what is the matter? Mrs. Knouff: Oh, goodness! just look at those women performing on the top rings up there. What if they should fall! Knouff, looking through his monocle; well, if that doesn ' t beat all! That is M. Jennings andE. Harkness, just as sure as you’re alive. Mrs. Knouff: I don’t see how they live up so high in the air. Oh, here come the lions and their keepers. Oh! O-oh! Is that woman going in among those treach¬ erous animals? “Madame Zepadahelia, Wurchii Tipper Rosscruschi, the lion trainer,” is what it says on the den. Knouff: The last I heard of that girl, she was a nun working among the poor of Palestine, but she always was changeable. Such is life in the twentieth cen¬ tury. (Great commotion at one end of tent.) What’s the matter? What’s happened? Hey, fellow, what’s wrong? Bystander: A woman by the name of Rhodes, just fell off her horse and is badly hurt. Here comes the Red Cross ambulance and the head nurse, Miss Bran¬ egan, herself. Knouff; There ' s Gladys B. just as young as ever and those other nurses are surely Miss Rife and Miss Worthe. Life ' s a funny proposition. Here we have seen many old friends I never expected to see again. (Circu s is over and the crowd disperses.) You must go home and rest now, dear, so that you won ' t be all tired out for the opera to-night. I had to pay $100.00 for our tickets, so you must not fail to enjoy the great American Paderewski Bent. Curtain. Act III. Scene 1.—Street in Cairo, Egypt. Enter Knouff in auto, sightseeing. Mr. Knouff: Hello! What’s this? It looks like the Khedive’s Palace. Look what beautiful grounds and buildings. (Motions the chauffeur to stop and speaks to a native). Is this the Khedive’s Mansion. Native: That? No, that’s Simon’s, the great brok¬ er’s home. He’s made a mammoth fortune since he came here, and that’s his winter home. Knouff: Is that so! Well, such is life in Egypt. (Moves on a short distance but stops in front of a small building a little farther along and reads) “Thompson, the Greatest Doctor in the World. Cures by Hypnot¬ ism.” Maybe the great doctor could cure your head¬ ache, my dear. We can try, anyway. They enter and find themselves in a long, stuffy room with no other occupant but two men engaged in earnest debate at the further end of the room. One man is short, dark and heavy-built; the other is tall, of medium complexion, with an athletic figure. Dark one: Kenny, you might as well shut up or get out. Here you come to me and ask me to give up my only means of a living, just because you think it is not a square business. Don ' t talk to me. I had some scruples against the business at first, but there’s too much money in it to cut it out. Go and preach to some one on whom you can make some impression, not to a hardened sinner like me. The tall one: Well, Johnny, my efforts are all in vain, I see. I have a funeral to conduct in fifteen min¬ utes, so will leave these tracts and say farewell. (Exit.) Curtain. Scene 2.— Station at New Haven. Knouffs arrive home. Cyrus Junior meets them. Cyrus Junior: Hello, mother! Howdy, father! Mighty glad to see you again, although I was awfully surprised when I received your cablegram, saying you would be home soon. I made the basket-ball team this winter, although I was too young to make the foot ball team. Have a good time? How does it seem to be back? What did you come back so soon for? Mr. Knouff: Well, one at a time, son. We came back a little sooner than we expected in order to hear the annual lecture of the leader of the “Women’s Ref¬ ormation,” Miss Houser, who is to speak at Bradley Hall tonight. Cyrus Junior: Oh, father, you’d better be careful how you go prying around Miss Bradley’s headquarters. You know she is a terrible man-hater. But come home to dinner and tell me all about everything.

At the time when the association was founded, the W. H. S. was not a part of it, but the following January the Wabash High School Athletic Association was organized. It became an import¬ ant part of the state association. In 1906 the W. H. S. A. A. was reorganized, and the constitution and by-laws were patterned after those of the Shortridge High School which seemed the best model to follow. The control of the athletic association is invested in a board call¬ ed the board of control, which is composed of three faculty and three student representatives. All matters pertaining to the athletics of the school, such as the election of captains, awarding of the school initial, and so forth, are governed by this board. This has proved a very beneficial organization in every respect and has always had a large membership. It has been such a success financially that from the proceeds we have been able to do some very good charitable work. ©fftrrrs of loarfc of Control President Vive-President Secretary Bessie Truxell Baer Rosalind Sweetser L.

HERBERT FRECH, ’0 8 HEN the call came for foot ball candidates at the beginning of the f ot ball season of 1907, the summons met with a hearty response from the young athletes of the Wabash High School. The foot ball outlook for 1907 was very encouraging in the beginning, and Mr. Gabel, of the faculty, as¬ sisted by Lawrence Hess, a former athlete of the W. H. S., and now 7 captain or the foot ball team of Wabash College, put forward his best efforts in training the boys, w ' howere in excellent shape to begin the foot ball season. The game with Fairmount at Fairmount, Oct. 5, w r as an easy victory as shown by the score. At the end of the first half the score stood 24 to 0. The great features of this game were the end runs made by Yarnelle and Simon who were called upon every time a long gain w 7 as wanted. Reed and Thompson showed up w 7 ell in this game, and Kantzer made a drop kick of 40 yards. On Saturday, Oct. 12, the Warsaw team arrived in Wabash confident of victory, but returned very much disappointed, for Wabash proved their equal if not their superior. The principal features of this game were the forward passes and end runs for long gains and the delayed passes in which O’Brien carried the ball around the end for a long gain. Both teams seemed well matched, and there was speedy playing on both sides, On Oct. 26, Peru played W. H. S. on the home field. Owing to the bad weather the attendance w 7 as quite small, and, the field being covered wdth mud, no chance w T as given for our good team w r ork, Several fonvard passes w 7 ere made by Wabash, and Thompson made tw 7 o touch downs. Wabash w 7 as outclassed in the game with Winona, whose team was much heavier. In the first half Winona made some brilliant long forward triple passes w 7 hich were broken up by our boys, and in the last half she resorted to punting. Thompson and Reed were good in getting down on the end. Later Simon starred in this game on account of his brilliant tackles. Although defeated, the Wabash boys put up a brave fight. On Nov. 9U1, Kokomo came to Wabash bringing with them a crowd of rooters, Kokomo showed excellment spirit (?) on the foot ball field by criticising and accusing Wabash of foul play. The Kokomo referee starred (?) in this game. The game was hard fought from start to finish. Wabash made a touch down which was not allowed by the Kokomo re¬ feree. The Kokomo team outweighed the Wabash boys. On Saturday, Nov. 16, the local eleven left for Marion. Marion’s good team work and fast playing won the game. Al¬ though our team lost heavily, at no time in the game did they give up, and it was about five minutes before time was called in the second half that Thompson stole a forward pass made by a Ma¬ rion man, ran thirty yards and made a touch dowm. Wass distinguished himself and played a star game for Wabash. On Thanksgiving day, Nov. 2S, the Wabash eleven held their annual foot ball game at Huntington. Due to the fact that the game was played in the afternoon, the attendance was smaller than it otherwise would have been. Both teams were in good condition to play, but Wabash was at a disadvantage caused by the crowding of the spectators onto the field when Wabash had the ball. Wabash had several chances to make touchdowns, es¬ pecially w 7 hen a forward pass w 7 as made to Showalter within five yards of the goal. This gave him an excellent chance to make a touch down, but the spectators crowded on to the field knock¬ ing the ball out of his hands. J i FOOT BALL SQUAD 07 fain?

Owing to several disadvantages, this year’s team has not been as successful as the one of the pre¬ ceding year. Our men were, with the exception of Simon, inexperienced, the majority of last year ' s men having left school by graduation. Again, the lack of spirit was one of the worst things against u s. During the first half of the season the team consisted of Arthur Simon, Harry Chapler, Bynoe Reed, Oliver Scott and Homer Showalter. At the close of the year it was necessary to make some changes, so the remainder of the schedule was played by: Arthur Simon, (capt.) and Kenneth Yarnelle, forwards; Oliver Scott, John Thompson and Homer Showalter, guards: Walker Stiggleman, center. All these players were of average size and strength, thus affording a chance for development of speed and team work. As far as speed and team work are concerned, the men succeeded admirably, but their failure to hit the basket was the cause of our losing many games. Dec. 20, 1907 at Wabash.

The Mikado, the opera given by the class of 1908 at the Eagles’ Theatre, April 15, was a brilliant affair, and was witnessed by a large audience of high school pupils and friends of the players. The scene of the play is laid in Japan, and the story is the wooing of Yum Yum, a beautiful Japan¬ ese maiden, the ward of Koko, to whom she is en¬ gaged. But she is wooed and won by Nanki Poo, the son of the Mikado, disguised as a wandering minstrel. Katisha, an elderly court lady, had claimed the love of Nanki Poo, who had flirted with her. The Mikado commanded his son to marry her as flirting was against the law. It was on this account that Nanki left his father’s court in disguise. He arrived at Titipu just at the time when Koko, who was Lord High Executioner, had been ordered by the Mikado to execute some one within the next month, or meet death himself, and Nanki Poo, feeling that life without Yum-Yum would be unbearable, offered to be the victim if he could marry her immediately, and thus have one month of happiness. This arrangement was accordingly made, but Yum-Yum soon learned that in Japan when a man was executed his wife must be buried alive, so it is not for her. Instead of being executed Nanki Poo is reported dead by an affidavit of Poo Bah, and marries Yum-Yum. Meanwhile the Mikado and Katisha arr ive ' at Titipa and demand Nanki Poo. Koko confesses and, with Poo Bah, is sentenced to boiling oil and melted lead. He saves himself by marrying Katisha, whereupon Nanki Poo ‘‘comes to life,” and the Mikado ends the opera by saying, “Everything is satisfactory.” Luie Ross took the part of Yum-Yum; she and her schoolmates, Pitti Sing and Peep Bo, played by Helen Johnson and Hazel Bent, more than pleased the audience with their songs and dancing. Rosalind Sweetser, as Nanki Poo, wooed Yum-Yum to perfec¬ tion, and carried out the schemes of the plot with great success. The part of the dignified Mikado was taken by Arthur Simon, and he, accompanied by his ridiculous umbrella carrier, Bynoe Reed, gained hearty applause. Mazie Jennings, as Katisha, was excellent; her fine voice and pleasing manner won unanimous praise. Herbert Freeh and Walker Stiggleman figured in im¬ portant parts as Poo Bah and Pish Tish. Floyd MacGriff carried off the honors of the evening as Ko¬ ko, apart which required skillful acting. It is doubt¬ ful if a professional could have taken the part more successful than did he. The choruses were sung with a dash, and were accompanied by the high school orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Small. The stage was decorated with Japanese lanterns, which with the Japanese cos¬ tumes, fans and umbrellas, gave a pretty oriental setting to the performance. The affair was declared a grand success, and the class of 1908 may well be proud of such a triumph.

Then she heard the excited voice of their next door neighbor, an old doctor, telling that he had from the country, and had seen the Blair house, one of the finest in Indiana, burning. The doctor, who, the village gossips said, had a fortune hid¬ den away somewhere, was one of the oldest residents of the town, and lived all slone in a large old-fashioned brick house, with only his servants and without a known relative in the world. In his loneliness, he was often attracted to his neighbor’s cheery home, and in these visits Helen came to know the old man ' s character¬ istics so well that she had determined to make him one of the cha-acters in the book which she fully expected to write, some¬ time in her brilliant (?) future. As the doctor rattled on to the family, below, the idea came to Helen ' s mind that she could have some fun and probably ob¬ tain a plot for the theme which she was to hand in at the end of two weeks. The more she thought about the plan, the more it ap¬ pealed to her, until, finally, she sat down and wrote the following note in a disguised hand: “Wabash, Ind., March 3, 1907. Dear Sir:— “I was in a rig near the Blair place last night and saw you set the house on fire. If you can offer inducements to prevent my reporting this to the authorities, address a letter to box 419, Wa¬ bash, Ind.” She hesitated awhile before she could think of a name to sign to it, but, quickl}- glancing through an old Indianapolis pa¬ per, she saw, in an account of a peculiarly difficult operation at an Indianapolis hospital, the name of “Ada Grant,” and signed thaL She dropped the note into the mail box as she was going to school the next morning, and did not think of it again until even¬ ing, when the doctor again came running in, greatly excited, brandishing her note in his hand and indignantly telling the fam¬ ily that he had just found this letter awaiting him on his return from a trip in the country. Helen’s father advised him to send an answer to the address given, and, if he received no reply, to adver¬ tise for Ada Grant in the papers. The following evening a detailed account of the doctor’s story was written up in a sensational form on the first page of the town newspaper. After waiting three days for a reply, the doctor went to the postoffice at Wabash and found that his letter was uncalled for. Th«n he w T rote to all the main towns of Indiana to find out if the name of “Ada Grant” appeared on their directories. The following Monday morning the doctor was called to In¬ dianapolis, where he was to assist in a difficult opera .ion, but much as he tried, he could not draw his mind entirely away from the mysterious note. During the operation he particularly no¬ ticed the skill of the trained nurse, and made up his mind to ask the other physicians about her. After the operation was com¬ pleted, and the physicians were standing in another room, con¬ gratulating themselves upon their success, the nurse entered the room. One of the physicians stepped forward and introduced her to the doctor as Miss Ada Grant, one of the best trained nurses in the state. The doctor, for a moment, was dumbfounded, and seized an opportunity to ask about her, after she had left the room. He was told that she was a poor young woman, who had an aged mother to support, and who had faithfully done the tasks as¬ signed her, until she had become one of the best trained nurses in the state. The doctor furthermore gained the information that she had an excellent reputation and would have been the last pet - son in the world to write a note such as he had received. It was also proved that she was at the Indianapolis hospital on the even¬ ing of the fire. Satisfied that Ada Grant was not the writer of the myster¬ ious note, the doctor, at the earliest opportunity, obtained an inter¬ view with her, and they found, to their mutual surprise, that she was his cousin, a daughter of his young uncle who had gone west, secretl} 7 married, and died a few years later. The doctor was well impressed by his relative, and arranged that she and her mother should make their permanent home with him. Furthermore, he secured for her the long desired position of matron in the Wabash hospital. He never found out, until years later, who was the real writer of the mysterious note, but he expressed himself well satis¬ fied with the result of his detective work. Helen Grayson was so delighted with the outcome of her practical joke that she wrote a theme, using the incident as a basis for the plot, for which she received the first prize in the High School Annual Contest. mimt Suuntff tqja .11 u Uibrmtgh thr 0nor Our thoughts are likely to wander, And our minds to far regions may soar; But matters are quickly averted When Knouff steps in through the door.

There is a lull in the audible whispers, A pause in the noise and uproar, Our minds are plunged into our studies When Knouff steps in through door. We may stir up a great commotion, And throw’ objects over the floor, But many a poor lad is captured When Knouff steps in through the door. W r e all would be classed as great scholars, And giv’n fame to last ever more, By strangers if they could but see us When Knouff steps in through the door. Then let us all be up and doing, For soon this brief life will be o ' er; Be waiting and watching and ready, Or Knouff will step in through the door. —Herbert F. Frech. ■ antr lUiur “All right, mother! I’ll remember! I’ll not bring dishonor to an Armstrong in order to gain the prize”, exclaimed Ned, as he ran down the well trodden path from the little log dwelling to the dusty road, which streclied ten miles away to Dominor, the capital. Whistling, Ned walked swiftly along and almost eight miles lay behind him, when he was suddenly awakened from his reveries by the sneering remark. “I hear you’re going to give us a spiel too. You’ll be a pretty looking sight-Ho! Ho! If I were you-.” The last words were lost, for Drake, a millionaire ' s son, on his wheel passed quickly 7 out of hearing distance. Nevertheless Drake had said enough. Oh, how those words hurt. Ned well knew that his clothes were old; that he was poor. What! Is Ned going to turn l-ack? He took a few steps; then muttered, “No, no, what would mothersay? And if I am ever goingto amount to anything, I must not turn back! I’m a fool!” The vast auditorium of Dominor University was crowded. Hundreds had come to hear the “Oiatorical Contest” All were more or less excited. It was not the piize, a free course for one year in some college, but the honor, which would fall to the winner, that drew young Drake into the number of participants. His name is called. He rises. Confidently he steps to the platform. So eloquent is his address that applause after applause fol¬ lows and continues long after he takes his seat. Drake was no idle listener; he easily caught, “He ' s the winner! What ' s his name? Oh, son of millionaire, eh?” The chairman is finally forced to rap for order and then an¬ nounces in a loud clear voice, “The Value of an Education,” by Ned Armstrong.” Ned rises to his feet. He is nervous. After so fluent an ad¬ dress what can he do? Dizzily 7 he walks to the platform and in a weak voice the au¬ dience heard; “Mr. Chairman,-Hon—or—able-Judges!” The audience grows nervous. In a moment, however, Ned recovers himself and continues, “In the field of time there stands a wonderful storehouse, which contains the rarest of treasures. Is it not strange that we seldom go to this storehouse, the house, where admittance is free? Where Edison has gone and w T here he will continue to go — -Oh, honorable judges, what will we amount to in this world, if we do not have a good educa¬ tion? Some say Lincoln had no education. But he too had an edu¬ cation— -—an education far superior to any that we will doubtless ever receive.” So Ned continued, growing more and more eloquent - At last he is done! No cheers? No! No applause whatever breaks the breathless«silence. “Oh,” moaned Ned, “I can ' t go to college now. Drake doesn ' t need the prize. I wish-. But I will go! Some¬ thing will happen. Determination is the key to success!” All competitors have come and gone. The judges retire to the consultation room, only to re-enter a few monents later. The chair¬ man rises. He says, “You all know the successful participant. Ken¬ neth Drake ' s-What! I knew he’d get it,” groaned Ned,—“ ora¬ tion was splendid. I will not tarry 7 in my announcements. He has been awarded the second prize. The first prize, the winner of which so surprised us all by his oratorical ability that we were unable to cheer him, has been awarded to Ned Armstrong.” The crowded auditorium rang with cheers. Ned was amazed. Was it possible? He did not wait, but attempted to slip away, whisp¬ ering to himself, “I’ll go home and tell mother.” At the door, however, he was seized by 7 the shoulders and a portly gentleman demanded in a cheery voice. “My son! What is your mother’s name?” “Helen Armstrong, sir.’’ answered Ned. “Ah-. I thought so. Where do y 7 ou live?” “Ten miles south of Dominor, sir?” “Come! I have an auto out here,” added the man with a slight tremble in his voice. Wondering, Ned complied, and in a few moments both man and boy alighted at the door of the little dwelling. “Ned! Ned! My husband!” screamed Mrs Armstrong, who, hearing the automobile, had come to the dcor. “Helen,-Helen! My-darling!” murmured Arm¬ strong brokenly- Amazement, surprise,, covered Ned’s countenance. Finally the fvdl truth burst upon him; and, throwing his arms around his father, he cried, “Father, my long lost father!” Ned’s father years ago had gone to Klondike from whence a report a few years later came that he had been killed by a snowslide, and he had been mourned as dead. Mr. Armstrong that evening told of the wonderful experiences he had undergone and how something each time appeared to prevent him from coming home. “But now,” added Mr. Arm¬ strong, “I am wealthy, and I intend to pay all of Ned’s expenses for college for the other years.” “No, no. father;” interrupted Ned, “I’d rather work my way through college. Then I’ll know how 1 got through.” “Bravo, old boy - .” exclaimed his father, “you’re an Armstrong through and through.” “W. Jj. iHotlirr (Sons?” [Nell Otis] John Gabel is a dandy, Loves all teachers and good candy, He bought some at a candy shop, And out he came again, hop. hop, hop. Cyrus, Cyrus, (he’s quite merry) How does your high school go, With many boys, with books for toys, And pretty maids all in a row? Lester Simon met a foot ball Flying through the air, He made a touchdown for the school And he was surely there.” Tom, Tom, the hatter’s son, Made a speech and talked like fun, The speech was fine and Tom did shine, Then went to the head of the—Junior Literary Society Hey, ding, diddle, Johnnie plays a fiddle, And a smile goes around the room, A freshman laughs to see such sport, And applause goes up with a boom.. There was a tall school teacher, who Had such bad pupils he didn ' t know what to do. He took out a pencil and took out a book, And wrote all their names with a very cross look. Our Little Eva’ ' is a jolly old soul, And a merry old soul is he. He got the foot-ball and ran for the goal While the rooters all yelled “rah! re! ' ’ Johnnie Thompson ran through the hall, Johnnie Thompson had a great fall. Then Miss Pyke and her pupils bright Laughed to see such a comical sight. Hey-ding-a-ding! I heard the bells ring: Now we re late to class and can’t do a thing. Moore, Moore, go away; Take our names another day; Little Ruthie wants to play. Little Miss Killen, get your note book The students in the cloak-room are whispering, just look. Where’s Mr. Turpin who watches the hall? He’s down with the boys playing basket ball. A dillar, a dollar, A five o ' clock scholar, Why do you stay so late? Once you were good, now you are bad. Oh, what a dreadful fate! Johnnies be nimble, Johnnies be quick, Mr. Knouff’s coming with his paddling stick. i Ul tell you a myth About Clarence Smith, And now my myth’s begun.

Sometimes I have it, but more often—“Nit.’ Higgledy, piggledy, my history lesson. k r r ALUMNI J S S F ' ZfHfr vyiK Shi ' Class nf ’ 7 2 Prior to the fall of ’69 there was a department dignified by the name of high school in the one school building of our town. This building was know as the Wabash Union School and stood on the grounds now occupied by the Miami Building. It was a three story brick structure with four rooms on each of the first and sec¬ ond floors. Six of these rooms w y ere used for the “grades”, and the other two under the supervision of the superintendent and his assistant, constituted the high school. The third floor was not used for recitations. The entire east side of it was in one room and here all the pupils from all the grades, except perhaps the very lowest, assembled occasionally for Friday afternoon and chapel exercises, entertainments, and so forth. On the west side of the hall were two rooms, the north¬ west one being the laboratory and museum, the furnishings of which consisted of an electrical machine, and some glass cases containing bottles with mysterious labels. Here we performed many delicate experiments, manipulating the electrical machine ourselves, and receiving severe shocks while trying to make our hair stand on end like the hair of the emaciated gentlemen pic¬ tured in our text book on natural philosophy. (Somehow we es¬ caped death, but how we did it we are not prepared to say ) There was little attempt at organization. We classified our¬ selves and as soon as we thought we were old enough we promoted ourselves to the high school by arming ourselves with a text book on higher mathematics, French, or Latin, and enrolling our¬ selves. If we could “keep up” that was all that was necessary. We were saved all the worry and pain, and much of the pleasure attending the preliminaries of the entrance to the high school of today. We have no recollection of ever having passed an examin¬ ation or of having received a promotion card. In the fall of ’69 when we assembled ourselves for the pur¬ pose of having a good time, and incidentally pursuing our studies, we were in blissful ignorance of the fact that we should no longer follow our own sweet will in everything pertaining to school life. In the future we were to pursue a systema tic course of study, and while the requirements for admission were not too rigid, there were requirements. Our superintendent was Pleasant Bond, now of Indianapolis, and the high school principal, J. J. Mills, afterward president of Earlham College. There were no assistants. The high school students numbered eleven, but these were reinforced by several students from the country who attended dnring the winter term. When it was announced that we were entering upon a three year’s course of study we were aghast, and none of us had any thought of ever completing it. At the end of the year the first regular promotions were made, and Ella Truxell, now Mrs. Chas. Baer, and Margaret Robertson, having higher grades in mathe¬ matics than the other members of the class, were promoted to the second year. The second year, with the incoming class from the gram¬ mar grade, it was neccessary to have an assistant, and Miss Ju ia Ross, now Mrs. George Herrick, was chosen to fill that position. The first year, the high school ha 1 occupied the afore-mentioned northwest room, the electrical machine and glass bottles having been removed, but the growth of the school made it imperative that we should have more commodious quarters, and the east room UNION SCHOOL BUILDING OR THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL was partioned into an assembly room and class room. Toward the close of the year Mr. J. J. Mills resigned and ' was succeeded by his brother, Mr. I. F. Mills. During the winter the school gave a play entitled “Colum- L ia, ” in which Uncle Sem and all of the states were represented, but the thrilling details of the plot have passed from the memory •of the writer; the only fact that can be recalled is that John N. Myers took the part of Uncle Sam. The play elicited thunders of applause and brought in enough money to purchase a set of “The American Ec clopaedia” and this was the nucleus of the Wabash High School library. At the end of the second year Superintendent Bond resigned, Mr. J. J. Mills became supeiintendent, and one more assistant, Miss Mary Ballenger, was added to the faculty. The class of ’72 now bent all its energies toward completing the course of study, and at last Commencement Day, the first one in the history of our city, rolled around. The class was too small to render a program without assist¬ ance from the members of the class of ’73. J. D. Conner, Jr. and Ida Keller furnished the musical program, and Abner Pickering, after Maj, Pickering, and Rose Smith gave select readings. Like all other pioneers, the class of ' 72. passed through many hardships unknown to the graduates of today. “The rain was raining all around that commencement afternoon in June, and a cab line being a thing of the fuure, ’72 had to trudge along as best it could and keep its w T hite garments from contact with the rain and mud. The commencement exercises were not preceded by a banquet tendered by the juniors, nor a baccalaureate sermon, one important feature of which, like Easter, is the beautiful and dainty new raiment. We received no expensive gifts, just lovely June roses from the dear old-fashioned flower-gardens. We hope it will not raise a smile, or suggest slang when we confess that we exchanged tin-types with our classmates. The diplomas were awarded, not in a beautifully decorated auditorium, but in the plain Northwest room, which had been pressed into service for this momentous occasion. Despite these, to the generation of today, adverse circumstanc¬ es, never were prouder, happier students than the two who stood in the old Northwest room to receive the first diplomas ever award¬ ed to the graduates of the Wabash High School. Never were there any who had more love and respect, not always shown by our actions, however, for those who had been our instructors during those three happy years, and for ' whom after all these years we can find no language eloquent enough by which to pay the tribute our hearts would dictate. Never were there any who have witnessed with more pride and satisfaction the growth and progress of our beloved high school, and we extend most hearty congratulations to the class of ’08, and hope t at their memories may be as precious as those of The Ceass of ’72. £Tlu ' Ualitr uf a iftgfy S’rluml (training In this so-called age of commercialism men are accustomed to think and act in terms of dollars and cents. Their conception of value is apt to be pre¬ dicated upon the commodity worth of athing. A loaf of bread represents to them the market value of the flour and other ingredients entering into its manufac¬ ture, plus the value of the labor involved in its prep¬ aration and a reasonable profit on the transaction. To a man starving, however, and remote from food and succor, a loaf of bread, may mean more, perhaps, than all the hoarded wealth of Croesus. So the commodity or money value of a thing may not, after all, be an absolute index to the inher¬ ent worth of that thing. To the man who measures all things by the monetary rule, the value of a high school training must be figured with mathematical precision, and to convince him of the merits of such a training you must prove that the boy or girl who completes the high school course is capable of earn¬ ing in cold cash two or three or four hundred more per year than the boy or girl who stopped short of such training. If men were horses, the task of com¬ puting the matter thus—wise would not be so diffi¬ cult—perhaps—for I am told that a “high school” horse, so-called, is worth all the way from five to ten hundred dollars, while the common school kind, that is the average sort, is quoted at from one to two hun¬ dred dollars, a clear advantage for the high school product of from four to eight hundred valuable dol¬ lars. Now horses possess certain of the good traits of mankind, but in the main they are not to be meas¬ ured by the same standards,-—which is one reason why the “dollar” value of the high school man or wo¬ man is not so readily estimated as is that of the “high school” horse. This commercial or commodity difference in value between the high school graduate and the one who has not experienced the high school training does exist, undoubtedly, but the desire to reap the bene¬ fit of this advantage should be the least of the motives impelling the pupil who plans in advance the details of his future career. The world, of course, will judge him by the perceptible, tangible results of his endeavor, and the world will want to know what of market value he can show as a logical sequence of four years of time and study devoted to the high school course. But he will not so measure himself, and he must be the final judge of the matter. At the completion of the common school course, the plastic mind of the pupil is just be- ginning well to formulate those original ideas which develop and expand it. The average child, at this age, has just begun to “find” himself and to ascer¬ tain in some degree the protential forces which differ¬ entiate him from the lower organism. Having dis¬ covered himself and realizing something of the reason of his being, the pupil is prepared to enter upon his high school career with a keener appreciation of the possibilities lying before him and of the responsibili¬ ties which await him. But after all, the only necessary justification for a high school training lies in the mind and heart of the pupil who has persevered until the prescribed course has been completed. Ask him if it pays. He can no more compute its value in terms of dollars and cents than can you. But his decision in the matter will be final and complete. The years of his high school course, as he surveys them from the vantage point of the future, will be fragrant with happy mem¬ ories and crowded with pleasant associations, and every day he will note some advantage accruing to himself by reason of early training thus afforded. If a man possesses something upon which he would place no price, if he has in his home an heir¬ loom or a keep-sake, to part with which no wealth could tempt him, can it be said that these things have no value? The market value of a high school training may be great or small. The value which is more worth while is that which creates within the posses¬ sor the feeling that no price could be placed upon it and to part with which no offer could be sufficiently tempting. But the man who thinks in terms of dol¬ lars allows that this is sentiment. Beware of the man who scoffs at sentiment. iiigl) rltnnl 3nkfB John Thompson never goes into the country.

Nor did he cry in vain, For then the clouds they “bursted,” And it snowed in the form of rain. There was a boy not very clever, He never studied, no, never. He said, “I can’t study, It makes my brain muddy.” So himself from school he did sever. “Fat” Mattern certainly does like his “eatins.” The other day when he was at a drug store he ate a banana puff, a hot chocolate, an Oriental Dessert and a Buffalo. After devouring these, he remarked, “Well, I’ll go home and eat supper now.” Witty Junior: Say, fellows, why not become ho¬ bos; then we can have all the track athletics we want.

A 1 ®be 2kiimpticm nf Jack Howard has a concience, and it troubles him, not often it is true, because the most obtrusive one is usually brought under control by the sopho¬ more year, and Howard w T as a senior: Besides, this conscience of his was a bit of luxury in which he in¬ dulged only on occasions; this night was decidedly an occasion. He was being reminded that someone knew his promises were not altogether fulfilled. “What the duce does she expect me to do any¬ way” He leaned his elbow on the table and rested his head in his hands, while a letter stared up at him ac¬ cusingly, bringing memories of a girl, the girl down south. The door banged, a step sounded in the hall, and his freshman roommate entered. “Hello, Slats,” said the senior. “Where’ve you been now?” The freshman threw off his cap and coat, drew on his smoking jacket, and drawled, w T hile lighting his cigarette. “Just a little dinner dance at the “Psi-house”. Howard remembered that Slats’ sister, the girl down south, disliked cigarettes, Then, too, re¬ ports of Slats’ poor work had come to him. His con¬ science commenced to work. “How are you coming along in your work? You’ve been cutting Gym pretty regularly lately. How’s your ’lab’ work? All up in chemistry?’ “No, I’m not”, snapped Slats. “Besides, I intend to skip the chemistry quiz tomorrow. Have a date with Cordelia Burton in the morning, and in the afternoon we are going driving”. Howard, who knew what style of a girl Miss Burton was, and how many “flunk outs” she had to her credit, determined to bring Slats to his senses. “Look here, old man. Why not cut out this ‘queening’ and get down to business? It flunked Bob Russell, and it’ll flunk you if you don’t call ‘quits.’ Slats drew himself up with a queer assumption of dignity. “I don’t care to hear Miss Burton criticised. Besides, I fail to see w T hat business it is of yours’’. Then, in great wrath, freshman Reginald Van Wert Randell, commonly known as Slats, stalked majestical¬ ly from the room. Howard then and there decided on a plan of action, At any cost to his own dignity and contort, he w r as going to put Slats through the year; and to do this, he must in some way break off Slats’ “queening” so. At the first opportunity he began to call on Miss Burton, to take her driving and rowing, and in every way to take up her spare time, leaving none for poor Slats. At first, the freshman clung to every favor the fair Cordelia found time to extend to him, but when she gave his only dance at the “Junior” to a visiting Phi Delt, he gave up in des¬ pair. As no freshman ever dies of a broken heart, he finally settled down to his work, and did it well, hav¬ ing nothing else to do. As for the Senior, while he could not quiet cease his attentions to Cordelia after he had driven away Slats, he performed his devotions in an imper¬ sonal w r ay. For a girl of her type, this was.a new ex¬ perience and it puzzled her. Just before Senior week, came the offer from his uncle of a position in Washington, and when he finished his note of acceptance, he sat at his table for a long time, trying to write a letter to the girl down South, telling all about his plans for the future and asking her, no matter what, they’re all alike when the time comes. At last, when it was finished, he smoked many pipes sitting on his window ledge. A few nights later, on the night of the Senior Ball, her answer came; it was simple, direct, just as he knew it would be. “I’m sorry, Jack, you won ' t blame me too much, will your 1 But it’s no, Jack, they told me about you and Cordelia, and I can’t. ' ' — No postscript; nothing but the few broken sentences. It was the night of the Senior Prom. Helen Randall, the southern girl, had come up to this last function of the school year, and as she sat at one end of the ball room, surrounded by admirers, Howard thought that she never looked so lovely. He was de¬ bating with himself whether he should try his luck for a dance with her, and at a momentary lull in the attentions of her masculine admirers, he took his chance. Quickly crossing the room he came up to her, and took her program. Alas! it was all tilled and he started to hand it back to her, when she said, “just keep it, Jack, I have something to say to you.” Cordelia Burton, as she watched the girl de¬ part on Howard ' s arm, felt suddenly alone; for she knew that this man, who had always been master to her, was lost to her forever.
