Don ' t sit u ' ) straight in your seat — The teachers admire those who can resemhle a cork screw while sitting in a classroom. Don ' t let your teacher give you an un- satisfactory — Tell her you are sure your work was of the hest in the class. Don ' t worry ahout tomorrow — It gets here right after midnight. Don ' t come to school without at least five sticks of chewing gum with which to entertain the class by imitating a cow in a pastuie. The nnisic teachers are always delighted to have seme one chew gum, so rythm may be had in the songs. Don ' t let a Sopliomore tell you anything — He is only one year older than you.

Miss Needham came along shouting IT HAD TO BE YOU , but I know you are not JEALOVS as long as you are ON THE BACK PORCH with SHADOWLAND looking on. Can you imagine a MOONLIGHT night with ONLY YOU, and A KISS IN THE DARK with Cli iRLEY MY BOY! Just then Miss Jones came in singing IT AIN ' T GONNA RAIN NO MORE, but if you will PUT AWAY A LITTLE RAY OF GOLD- EN SUNSHINE for a JUNE NIGHT, I AYILL SAY IT AGAIN. In the corner Miss Moore was humming MEMORY LiVNE. I wonder who she was thinking of as she sat there ALL ALONE. YOU KNOW Y ' OU BELONG TO SOMEBODY ELSE so I am going away AT DAWNING. IMiss Janet Jones said, DON ' T GO, YOU ' RE IN LOVE WITH EVERY ONE . Miss Baer is TOO TIRED even to think of the WALTZ OP LONG AGO. Wake up SUNRISE AND YOU will get by. I wonder what Miss Troxel meant when she said, I LOVE YOU on the MANDA- LAY? The best argument v. e know for stuffed olives is that your hostess can ' t count the seeds on you. The main difference between a girl chew- ing her gum and a cow chewing her end, is that the cow gcneiallv looks thuuglitful. Miss Needham — What is an advertise- ment f Jesse Fei ' guson — An ailverfiseuK ' nt is the picture of a jn ' etty girl eating, wearing, holding, or ilriving- something that some- bodv wants to sell. Kathryn Troxel— Why was Chailes V ' s reign unea.syf Student — Well, anyliody ' s life would lie uneasy if he lived undei- a diet of worms (Diet of Worms.) ►© Class Prophecy I arrived in tlie thriving metropolis of New York, amid the smoke and grime of wheezing, puffing engines. Out of all this noise and glamour appeared a familiar face, none else but that of Morris Engel, chief baggageman for the N. A. 0. T. Rail- road (Never Arrive On Time), staggering under the weight of an immense show trunk. He beamed at me through a welter of sweat, but was too busy to give any greetings. The next noise that greeted my ears was TAXI, TAXI, mister, coming from the mouth of our former honor roll student, John Wire, in long drawling words. 1 di- rected .Tolm to take me to the Biltmore, where he disposed of the baggage. De- ciding to go a short stroll, and accustom myself to the new surroundings, I wander- ed on to a by-street. I saw a pair of aims, a block distant, waving wildly, and a voice in earnest argument. Thinking I recogniz- ed the peculiarty of the voice, I sauntered, closer, and lo and behold — not an angel — but Walt Yopst, his hair blowing wildly about his eyes, and his body encased by a red shirt and white striped overalls. Walt was chattering (in radicalism and com- munism, and a lower jirice tor cigarettes. I left him there, disgusted to think that the peer of all great minds had lowered himself to upholding the lowly laborites, once the bane of his existence. Slowly wandering down the street, I gazed up in time to see a most beautiful woman, Dorothy Williams, shrouded in a red and green smock, with an example of art under her arm. She started as usual — without giving nie a chance to say hello — to tell me of her Bohemian existence, and her pos- sibilities as a genius. Down the street, a flaming red blotch appeared — seeming to burn brighter as it neared. A hu ge, broad rimmed hat parti- ally covered the red hair. I was astounded as she raised her eyes. Frances Wilson, in a cowgirls attire. I found however that she Avas posing for one of Ford Moitow ' s latest art offerings. I entered one of the great cities most ex- perfectly to the rythmn of Russian music, was Paul Kendall, leading man in Pav- lowa ' s Russian Ballet. i ' aul had taken New York by storm with his graceful ex- ecution of the difficult ballet. Down Fifth Ave., came a Ford sedan, running wide open, and jammed with the elite of New Yorks feminine society. A pearl gray derby and a snappy frock coat covered the driver — Merlind Sehlemmer — New Yorks most sought after young man. Merlind always since his high school days, has been a ladies man. A tall, stately, dignified figure came walking majestically U2 the sidewalk. The tall, gaunt figure seemed to be familiar. Yes, I knew him. Old Pop Bowlby, now a Judge, who recently convicted Paul Wil- liams for non-support and cruelty to his w ' ife. Ralph has still adhered to the bachelor ' s way. A large red, poster, glaring forth, told of a boxing match between the lady cham- pions of America and France. Margaret Price was defending the -American title. A few days later, the news reached my ears that the bout had turned into a hair pulling contest. furiosity seized me as I started to pass a nickel show-. I wondered if they still had cowboys and villians on the screens. I en- tered the place, which reaked with the odor of peanuts and popcorn. Tiie floor was covered w-ith peanut shells — the aftermath of some family partaking of that delicious food and treating their neighbors to the smacking of lips and cracking of shells that accompanies the eating. The music was soft and low — as the two lovers met. The villian appeared, and the music in- creased in volume. The girl pianist seem- ed to be familiar to me. A stick of Wrig- leys product was being murdered by ma- chine like movements of her jaws. Ah, it was Dorothy Davis, who thrilled the multi- tudes with her haunting melodies. A short, fat, stubby man, with a black stoggie in his mouth that looked more dangerous than dynamite, was calmly glanc- ing over the passing throng outside. A checkered suit of gray and green, a flat elusive theaters, and on the stage, dancing black derby, and patent leather shoes, mad liim I ' t ' sembk ' the r-tagc dixir Jnhiiny. and made him conspicious even among the gay- Iv cohired costumes that passed by. No one else but Pete Kline, now Flo Zieg-flehls right hand man in picking his world fam- ous chorus girls. Eattling down the street painfully, and squeaking from the lack of proper greas- ing, came a horse and wagon. The horse, with bones almost shining through the skin, seemed on the last lap of life, and father time seemed to have it in his cold hands. On the seat was Ed Gribbon, telling the World that he was a buyer of Rags, Iron, Bones, and Paper, to the asthmatic, w-heez- ing attempts of a delapidated aeeordian to render music. With the hope that I would not be recognized, I ducked in a nearby alley way, and farther down, I spied a far worse sight. There, ijerched on the top of a wagon with the words City Garbage Service ' printed on the side, was John Showalter. He saw me and rushed to give me his greet- ing. He said he w-as living in a most dis- heartening environment, to give his whole heart to an invention which would save the human race from many hours of toil. I heartily agreed with the first of his speech, but diiubted the latter and bade him good- bye. Coming from the alley, I noticed a man walking slowly towards me, meanwhile gaping at the citedals of business. He was clad in the typical raiment of the Ameri- can peasant, and as he was nearly upon me, he stumbled on a protruding piece of the side walk, and fell to the pavement. I hurried to the spot where he had fallen, and as I picked him up, I saw through the crop of jutting, black whiskers, the face of Charlie Billington. I discovered he was the sole owner of a small town newspaper, the Squcedunk Bugle, which he also managed, besides being editor, jiroof reader, linot.vpe man, and pa]ier carrier. After leaving him, I went down the street on a rubberneck buss ' , and there was Helen Stonehour, telling the people of the wonders of New York. I might also mention that George Ross was driving the buss. As I stood there, rooted to the spot by amazement, a short, rather buxom lady, bustled up and greeted me. 1 saw in hei ' features, Mary Schuler, who informed me that she was in a partnership with Ritter Lavengood, running a Penny Arcade on Coiiev Island. After withstanding a half hours fire of words, I was glad to break away, and left in peace until I saw Doc • Cornell come from a gymnasium, with a crowd of youngsters on his heels. Doe in- foimed me he was teaching the city urchin the art of rolling a marble straight, and was making a huge success of it, having turned out a champion marble team. 1 also found that Homer Knee was making good coaching in Uffumpoof Colle ge, where Homer had turned out a team that had beat the ancient rivals of the school — Poffenboof College. Feeling fatigued from the days strenucms activities, I walked to a nearby park, and slumped on a Ijench. I heai ' d queei- mumbling behind me, and I heaid the words Ah, Jack Dalton, you cattle rustling varmint, I have you in my ])ower. Puzzled by this, for I thought cattle rustling in New York would not be a successful business measure, 1 peered through the bushes which obscured my view, and there seated on the ground was Powell Pearson. He immediately jumped to a standing position, railing at me for spoiling his divine inspiration. His anger quickly subsided, and I heard that Powell was writing for the Western Story Maga- zine . Powell has always shown literary genius, ever since his days as star reporter for the Plain Dealer. Edna Heinke, thinking she was close to the wall, started to lean back, instead she was a little too far and fell down. Th-y tell me she was talking lo Cliarles Coburn, and we take it that this is the way slu- fell for him. Let us thank Mr. Wrigley. If it were not for chewing gum, lots of people we know would never get any e.xercise at all. 1st — It was so cold where I came from that th.e water froze so quickly tlic ice was wann. 2nd — That ' s nothing; it ' s so cold ulu ' re I came from that when a man talks t(i you you have to take the words in by the tire thaw them out and piece the conversation together.

And then they gently picked me up and threw me in the lake. They all agreed that I had made — a most astounding play And would have won the game if I had run the other wav.

A preacher in Ohio once came forward with the declaration that Satan was not mentioned in the Old Testament. Well, what of it? asked some one of a friend who had told him of this state- ment. He claims, continued the other, with reference to the preacher, ' ' that, as there is no mention of the devil in the Old Testa- ment, there cannot be a devil. That ' s no proof, said the friend. The Old Testament does not mention the Ohio Legislature, but there is one. Sis-year-old Albert was usually a source of much annoyance to his mother during the morning service.

THOM HOMER KNEE CAPTAIN BOWLBY (Captain-Elect) GEORGE ROSS .- © Football History Who is that fellow? This question was asked when a shoit, well built man came into Mr. Darnall ' s office last spring. Few suspected that this man was to be our coach. Then came the call for football. We thought the prospects for the Orange and Black were fair, but Coach Thom thought differently. The old fight and de- termination, he w- u!d say. Fellows , Coach pleaded at the start, a fighting team wins, and let ' s work together to at- tain the name of a scrappin ' team. Although, known by only a few of his proteges at the start of the long grind Coach Thom soon won the confidence and the faith of his men. He seemed a part ijf the team, not an overseer who stood by, but he donned the moleskins along wit ' .i the prospects, and when something was in doubt Thommy boy was right there, going through the plays, and working shoulder to should- er with the leam, a real spirit, and the way which won his men over to his type of football. He had dilliculties. Yes, even Coaches exoerience some hard rows to lioe and those rows wei ' e in the form of green ma- terial. Hard work followed for both Coach Thom and the squad. Soon gieen materials developed into fair players, and fan- play- ers above thf average ' mark, a triljute to Coach Tliom and his determination to pro- duce a team worthy to carry the Orange and Black reputation. Not only the high school body, but towns- peop ' e soon grew to know and respect Coach Thom. Old timers ott ' eied their ser- vices. Any plays which were advanced as possible ground gainers were tried, but al- ways Coach Thorn was the b iss. Xow townspeople jiraise him, and even his name has spread through nearby schools, and all because he piodueed a team, not one that won all its games, but fought, fought hard and played the clean game, one thing of which Coach Thom was an ardent devotee. The first game came, almost as a cyclone upon a village. AVabash seemed unprepar- ed in the short time in which Coach Thom had to round out material ar.d have them working together. Decatur came, they saw, but failed to conquer. The old fight of the Hillclimbers was too much, and the Orange and Black gridsters trotted from the field, victorious and happy, by a 14-7 score. Kokomo, rated stronger than the Hill- climbers, were planning a strong attack for the Orange and Black. The game loom- ed like a dark cloud on the horizon, but the sun shone brightly after the Kokomo- Wabash game, and again Wabash was su- preme, winning 14-7, and taking lOOO pei ' - cent in the Valley Conference. Then came dark days for the Hillclimb- ers. The bacteria of overconfldence swept into the blood of the gridsters, and only after the disastrous defeat by Manual the following Friday after the Kokomo game, did they rid themselves of this germ. Manual beat us, 39-0, but we still say Wa- bash has a better team. Later in the seas- on, Wabash defeated South Side 33-19, South Side beat Technical of Indianapolis, and Tech beat ilanual. What a sad state of affairs! Northward — Ho, to the town of Goshen only to return defeated 13-10, in a heart- breaking game. We make no comment as to the reason. The Golden Tornado swept southward, leaving only signs of wreckage in the ranks of the Orange and Black, winning 34-9. But Wabash must have some glory. The Hillclimbers were the first to score on Gary for two years. The clouds floated way, leaving only sunshine and content, and Wabash looked forward to the South Side game. Hunting- ton beat South Side, and some even went so far as to say South Side would defeat the Hill climbers. Fight, the old standbye, awakened in the veins of the team, while South Side hjokeil on, helpless, being- trampled 33-19, while Huntington was be- ing trodden on 47-0 by Peru, giving AVa- bash the lead in the A ' alley conference. Logansport on Cook field the following Saturday. Another victory, 14-0, which gave Wabash a safe lead in the Valley. Peru fell next, 31-14, and Wabash was the proud possessor of the silver football trophy, given by the schools of the confe- rence. Homecoming, Parade, Plenty of fun. Lots of thrills. A great day for Wabash, and a bad one for Marion, victims of Wa- bash on Homecoming day, to the tune of 20-12. A fitting climax for a good team, upheld by loyal fans. (Capt) Ralph Bowlby Pop as we kniiw him, because he i s well liked, and is the papa of the team. His huge frame, towering like a mountain at the tackle position, caused many quart- erbacks to scratch their heads, and then decide to try some place else to make gains. A good decision, for Pop liked baektield men, and the more that came his way, the harder he worked, and the more he broke through, leaving a straggling bunch of linemen behind who had dared to stop his jirogress. Pop believes in going forward something which his opposing man has learned well, never to forget. Pop played his last game for the Orange and Black against Marion. To him we give our praise. A leader, a fighter, and a sportsman, liked by his fellows, by the school, we hate to part, but Pop must go on, and do things. We wish him success, and say goodby to a real fellow and a real fiiend. Cubby (Homer) Knee Cubby has played the game of Pigskin for four years, and we say we do not re-- gret the fact. We thrill when Cubby hits the line, bodies part, and like a shot he tears on for long gains. And his punting, what a sight to see the old pigskin sail through the air, while opponents wonder if the ball was shot from a cannon. And passes — so fast and perfect, that Cornell never broke from his course to make con- nections. Cubby is the pride of the school, the best fullback the Orange and Black has ever known. Who could punt, pass and hit the line like old Cubby f No one, and with his leaving, we lose a whole team, and a fighter. Cubby says (this happened in the dressing room after the Marion game) Hurrah, I ' m done — Now for some fun. Hot doggie, now for Marion, and I ' m not coming back until I get ready. ' ' no exception, and we are proud to have a representative of old Erin. Doc was in a rut at the start of the season. Something was wrong. Coach Thom said: Cornell, you ' re laying down. My gosh, thought Doc. If I ever get back to Ireland, those Irish will maim me for life for not keeping up the good name. Gimme that ball , he said to Ross. Ouch, Cornell went through the line. He obtained results. Already one man was groaning from the effects. From there on in, the Irish boiled within, and things hummed in camp. Cornell was calling signals, and guiding the destinies of the team, then for four straight victories under the Green. The uncanny Irish, as he was called, knew the game, and was quick to size up the plays. Bang — Bang — Ross hit the line. Knee followed with a plunge, then a short jiass. No time to fool in tlrs game of football, thouiiht Doc, and he led the team to victory and the Valley championship. A Senior, we fail to see why the time comes when Doc must leave. We would much leather have him back again, for Doc was the scrappin ' Irish- man, and a great football player. Wonder whom the girls will veil for now? John Showalter Showy, ' member uf the famous football family, was a rather quiet, dignified man, until the Marion game. He was taken out after the game was safely laid away on ice. He roamed along the sidelines, yell ing, nothing like himself, and when his little brot her was laid out. Showy want- ed to get out on the field. Those Showalt- er boys sure hang together. Showy was a scrapper, a good guard and dependable. Marion had enough of him, Logansport sighed with relief when John went out, and now we sigh because he is leaving. Fate must have its way, but we lose a fighter, a clean player, and a real fellow. ' Beady (Gerald) Garner Well, who is that fel A question Doc (Paul) Cornell. Every team has an Irishman. Waibash is which was soon answered. That fellow, said one high school student is just one hundred and fifty pounds of fight and nothing else but. A quite unassuming fellow, apparently harmless, he fought like a demon in football togs, and even ' Brien, re))Uted Peru center, was wailing for relief. No relief while Beady is playing. Over the top, underneath, just so he gets the man. That is Beady ' s motto. When a team loses a center like Gamer, we must shed some tears. It means that the tight must be found some place else, and fight like Beady had is hard to find. Goodbye, Beady, keep up the old fight, and you ' ll win, maybe not in football, but in the game of life. ' Wilfred Misner (Witty) Doggonit, I don ' t see why I can ' t play like other fellows, ' ' was the plea of Misner. Well, old Witty put his nose to the grind stone, kept it there and sharpened himself in the ways of the gridiron. The result was a real player, and a tower of defense on the line. Several times he was called to stop up plays, and Witty stopped them. Another good man gone. Well, we hope he keeps going, and gets on a college team. Francis Mills A tow head must be a member of the Hillclimber football machine to make things comiDlete. Francis Mills, ' ' Cacky ' ' as he is known to the other pigskin artists, was speedy and a worker that made all opposition think before traveling close to him. Cacky has earned a football letter for three years and a man that will give everything like Mills did for the better- ment of the team will be hard to find. Mills always laid his two front teeth aside be- fore entering the game, but he forgot once and as a result, was forced to procure new ones. Auree Scott Scott, wrestler of ability, and a depend- able tackle on the team, was under the evil influence of Satan, and hard luck camped on his trail throughout the season, giving him injuries and minor ills that kept him from many of the contests. Scott proved a valuable man in the line, and his ability to size up a play, and handle himself, gave all the opposing backfield a warm regard for his prowess. All we say of him, he was a real fellow that worked like a ma- chine, even under great odds. Basketball The hardwood beckoned to its followers soon after the moleskins and the bruises and aches of the gridiron had subsided. Coach Thom, with Capt. Cornell soon had the men in gear, swishing the net and learning the numerous tricks of the game. Practice is the thing that we needed early in the season, but dramatics held the stage in the gym, for a large stage had been erected, which hampered the movements of the basketball team. Dissension in the ranks of the Thomcats, brought the wrath of Coach Thorn to the point of exploding, and for the betterment of things, the lineup was shifted. The season could not be expressed in words of .joy and fond memories. There were few games we won, and many that we lost, but the team had the scrap of a pack of wildcats. In spite of the many reverses met throughout the schedule, the spirit of the fans was great to behold, and attend- ance at the hardfl-ood exhibition was ex- ceptional. The sectional tourney was the blackest cloud that ever hovered over the Thomcat Five. Roann, confident to the point of cockiness ' turned the tables and sent the Orange and Black home without a taste of victory from the tournament. ProsiDects are brighter for next year, with a host of Sophomores and Juniors who have shown signs of intelligence in the game. Just wait til we get our new gym. Then we hope for the best. Knee, Mills, Marks, Cornell, Vice, Bundy received the coveted basketball W. George Roser — Mr. Darnall, you didn ' t grade my interest on my report card. Mr. Darnall — Well, George, you must not forget that some people have no in- terest. In English discussing the words Healthy and Heathful — Graham Bread is healthful. Miss Jones — Is there any question? Charles B. — Yes, couldn ' t that be robust? SAveatermen 1 i       « The ]3icture above shows the bright and beaming faces of the athletes who have shown their stult ' on the hardwood, the gT:diron, the cinder path and on the wrestl- ing mat. From these have come the stars of the schdol, the average man, and the ones who worked like Turks for the honor of wearing a sweater awarded by the high school athletic board. The majestic figure of Pop Bowlby is absent, owing to the pros- pects of Miss Moore throwing a tough Civics test. Maybe he didn ' t want to be seen with the angry mob. The Athletic Board, composed of Charles Billington, President; T, R. Tewksbury, Vice-President; M. C. Darnall, secretary; Miss Cornelia Blayney, faculty representa- tive; Lewel Carpenter, faculty represen- tative; Philip Murphy, representing- the Sophomores ; Lemoine Latchem, Freshman ; Charles Hoover, Junior, decided, to award sweaters on the event of an athlete winning his first official W. Although they arrived when the sun was beating down unmercifully on the athletes, the weather man came through with some help and called for the cool, cool breezes that they might display their new garments. Of course there are restrictions, those of good attitude and proper conduct concern- ing the right to be awarded a sweater, but hard and fast rules were not adhered to. A blow to the feminine admirers was that the sweater men were not allowed to let even their best gals wear them. Wrestling ORANGE AND BLACK MAT MEN The Greeks have nothing on the expon- ents of the old bull neck in Wabash Hiiih School. A general consensus of opin- ion at the start of the season, was to the effect that wrestling would not even create a stir in athletic circles of the high school. The proteges appeared on the mat for the first time with the Peru Tigers afl ' oi ' d- ing the opposition. Things pei ' ked up in great shape. Pei ' ii liad a small whit ' f from the bacon, but Wabash hogged the rest. Score 78-7. Interest ran pitch high after the first debut, and Wabash met the Peru matmen the second time, Wabash hanging a skunk on Peru 85-0. Monticello, state chamiiions of two years ago, fell twice be- fore the local grapplers, 56-32 and 65-17. In the state meet, in which Wabash placed third. Homer Knee was acclaimed cham- pion of the heavyweights, George Ross champion of the 145 pound class, while Theodore Belhick won a second place in the 125 pound division. Marks 165 pound. Stoops 115 pounds, Scott 155 pounds, placed third in their respective weights. Xe.xt year, with a wealth of material, to pick from, a far better team should ap])ear on the mat for the Orange and Black. ®- Track Team ■■ ♦ ♦ ♦ •-♦■ DASH ARTISTS HOMER ( CUBBY ) KNEE FRED ( FRITZ ) MORROW Track History .© - The lure of the cinder track called to the dash artists and field men, who wanted to carry the banner of the Orange and Black to victory on the cinder path and in the field events, when the cool breezes gently blew through the thin apparel of the prote- ges of Coach Thorn. Cubby Knee, the veteran of many meets, was the one upon whom lay the burden to bring home the points. ' ' Cub- by was able to lift his huge frame over the bar in the high jump for several points, and as the time closed for the annual to go to press, he remained unbeaten in the shot put. Knee heaved the lead ball a distance of 52 feet 6 inches in the district meet at Logansport, in which Wabash snagged on to third place. The start of the track season held noth- ing but dismal defeats for Coach Thoms ' track squad, going down before Elkhart by a toi3-heavy score, losing to Peru and South Side in a tri-angular meet, and finishing with third honors in the Valley contest. The district seemed to inspire new hope within the hearts of the team, and six men journeyed to the state meet, to compete with the premier track and field perform- ers of Indiana high schools. Robinson, in the 880 yd. run. Knee in the shot-put and high jump, Marks in the high hurdles, Hog- an in the 100 yd. dash and the 220 yd. low hurdles, and Fouts, and John Showalter, composed the squad that were rewarded with track W ' s by placing first or second in the district meet. Hogan, the newcomer from Portland, stepped out, and experienc- ed little difficulty in beating the best that the Orange and Black could offer. The track season has not been blazoned with flaring deeds, but the spirit that has been shown is a credit to any school. Rob- inson, a mediocre jjerformer of last year, has been steadily improving, and won the right to enter the state meet. Marks re- alized his ambition of running the hurdles in the state meet, while Showalter and Fouts have earned the honor by being ' members of the winning half-mile relay quartet that won in the district meet. Cubby Knee, Charles Billington and Fred Morrow, were the trio that can-ied Wabash ' s colors in the state meet last year. Knee snagged a second medal in the shot-put, and Morrow carried off two med- als, a silver one for second place in the high jump, and a gold one for first honors in the pole vault. Morrow played the part of the feathered family , and soared to fame, when he winged himself over 12 feet 2 inches in the pole vault, for a new state record. Later Morrow tied for first in the National meet, tieing with Barnes of California, who later won the Olympic honor in the pole vault. Billington said he acted as a good cinder catcher , for the dashmen who threw cinders in his eyes at the state meet. Wabash tied with Elkhart with 11 points for second place in the state meet in 1924. HOMER ( Cubby ) KNEE ' ' Cubby ' ' , who would never be mention- ed as a perfect 36 , has used his broad hulk to good advantage during his four years in school. Above, in his thin wearing attire, he looks meek, but Cubby holds the honor of being the schools greatest shot fosser, having heaved the pill over 52 feet in the district meet. Cubby well deserv- es the honor, and the only way we think of to replace him, is to hire a cannon to heave the shot after he leaves us. Knee won a second place in the state meet last year in this event. FRED ( Fritz ) MORROW Fritz is the boy who sailed over 12 feet in the state meet last year, and shoved the pole vault record way out of reach. Just for that, he had his picture in several papers. Morrow tied for first in the Natio- nal meet last year, with Barnes, who later won the Olympics. Pretty tough boy, who steps out with Olympic champions. Fred, so they say, used to cut all his mothers broom in twain, so he could have a stick to vault with. ' ' Fritz ' ' also holds a fifth place national medal, for tying with other opponents in the high jujnp two years ago. Fred won the tossup for the medal. He holds a state gold medal for first place in the high jump, a second place silver medal for the high jump, and a first place state medal for the pole vault. ¥ ¥ THE SENIOR PLAY ACT I. It was late one Saturday afternoon when Mr. Rodman Reynolds, a young novelist of thirty-five, nrrived home from a trip to -Maine in search of local color for his new novel. He found only the maid, t ' liri-tinc, wailing to serve him and was informed hy her that his v.ife had an ini]i(]i ' tant encase- ment down iown. Just as he was in a none too pleasant mood, after fi n d i n g a two weeks ' collection of iinforwarded mail, the tele|)hone r a n g . He lifted the receiver and a smile lighted h i darkened countenance for it w a s his idd friend, Tom Dasl]lcy. Reynolds invited him and the rest of the cluhmen over to his house f o r a frieiiilly chat. At this m o m e n t Christine r u s h e d in with the announcement that Mrs. Reynolds had .just come in. Lnme- diately after greeting her husband, Mrs. l{ey- nolds astoundeil a n d ])uy. .le(l him by a tiery oration ending with a i roud gesture of her head and the fact that she was on the .fury. This .jury was to be the first composed entirely of women ill the United Stales nv the uoi ' ld. thnns Charles Shank, Director Rodman was further enlightened by the fact that tliere would be two women law- yers who wmdd try the case. His friend Billy Keets was the defeinlant in the breach of promise suit to be tried. Miss Catherine Carroll, a sweet and innocent young girl, l)y his wife ' s information, was the plaintiff ' and was suing for twenty-five ilrs. Reynolds was very much e-xcited over the case and declared that the jury would certain- ly make things hot for rhat young man who so basely deserted that jjoor young girl for some horrible design- ing woman. All o f which went to show how the women had looked into the mat- ter and liad already f irmeil a n opinion, much to t h e amuse- ment of Rodman. Mrs Reynolds h a d hardly left the door thidugh t h e garden when in came the most happy aiul .iovial group of gulf players it has been by lot to see. Glail to see them Rodman greeted each heartily, Mr. Tilmore Mapes-SteB ' ins, Tom Dashley, Samuel Plunket, Robt. Colt, the supposedly disgraceful and the wicked young man [Jilly Kei;s. the defendant and much excited ever the case and declared last but not the least came Lucas Hoj)forfl a small henpecked husband true to his shrinking, crying type. All seemed to be laughing at some huge joke and when Rodman begged for an ex- planation his friends asked him if he had not received their letters. Upon being in- formed of the contrary they proceeded to give Reynolds another great shock, in the fact that the whole case to be tried before the woman ' s jury was a fake. The men were tired of having their wives raring and earing ' ' around for a test case in which a woman would have a right to a jury of lu ' i ' peers. Now they were going ti give them a chance by fixing up a case for them. They even called in Miss Carroll who convinced Rodman that she covdd carry out their plans and would not in any way muddle affairs. Suddenly there came a warning from Hopford, the cautious one. On perceiving they were caught for Mrs. Reynolds was coming, confusion regined. No one knew where to go or what to do until Catherine called to them and told them to look at her and pretend interested in what she said. Just as Mrs. Reynolds came in the door Miss Can oil was in the middle of a most uncalled for attack u])on Billy. At fii ' st Catherine pretended that she thought Mrs. Reynolds to be the other woman in the case thereby making the hostess very angry. It was not until Cath- erine learned that she was on the jury and began to cry that Mrs. Reynolds relented and began to comfort her with promising her the aid of the society women on the jury. Scarcely had Catherine left by way of the garden when Mrs. Dashley came in. Shortly after her Mrs. Mapes-Steflins, Mrs. Lucy Colt, Lily Hopford and Molly Plunk- ett, the other four friends upon the jury were announced. Tea was served and a formal meeting was held to discuss the jury question. When all were in the midst of a most important discussion upon the clothes they were going to wear, Hannah the cook, came in pushing Christine out of the way. She announced that she had to l)e away for three or four days the following week and when asked concerning the reason she proudly replied, I ' m on the Jury . So happy was she that she executed a lively little Irish jig before the group of astounded, shocked and indig- uant society leaders. ACT II. It was ilonday morning in the court room. As the case was very interesting the policeman had a great job to keep back the pushing spectators. Some of the first spectators included the group of the con- spirators smiling in pleased expectation of coming fun. After a short interval in came Miss Brothers, a woman of decided opinions especially upon men and clothes. Follow- ing her came her client, Miss Carroll, a sweet young girl dressed in latest fashion and not looking very much overcome by her broken relations to the honoral)le Billy Keets. Soon as tliey were settled in their places at the table the society faction of the jury was announced. Mrs. Mapes-Steffins, forewoman, came in followed by the other ladies who did their best to restrain their curiosity about the looks of the room and how to proceed. While everyone is still in a flurry in came Miss Marshal, the lawyer for the de- fendant and a direct contrast in both dress and manner from her opponent. Following her closely came Mr. Keets looking a trifle jolly for one being sued for . ' f25,000. Theie was a pause, a pause of expect- ancy and curiosity as to the other half of the illustrious jury. Then came the voice of tlie incorrigible Hanna Mages announc- ing the arrival of herself and her five com- )3anion,s of gloi ' y. In she came followed by five women who were the weirdest and most unusual combination of nationalities and costumes ever seen before together in a court room. There were Mrs. Haufman, a butcher ' s wife; Mrs. Liehtenstein, a weal- thy Jewess; Mrs. Violetta Baecigalluppi, an Italian fruit peddler; Miss Macphale, a hair dresser; and Mrs. Harriet Smith, a scrub woman. In the middle of a spirited tirade of Hannah against the distasteful society folk the clerk terrified all by a loud rap of his gavel. Names were called and each took her place in the jury box, all except Mrs. Samuel Plunkett, whose husband immedi- ately set out to find his late spouse. Mr. Hopford, who had timidly stood by his wife endeavored to sit in the box with her, was severely reprimanded by the clerk and more sternly by his indignant better half. The judge had just noticed the vacant seat in the jury box when in came Plunkett with his wife, who was a fluffy little worn- an with a good-natured view of everything. When asked why she had so delayed the ciiurt proceedings she hegan a long recital of how a fool of a dressmaker had cut her dress wrong and how she had to work ton on it. Soon all the flurry of Mrs. Pluckett ' s ar- rival was hushed by the elerk and tlie .judge gave a short welcome to a new era in the court. All during this speech the .jury was lavish with its no(ls of approval and hand dap aing much to the amusement of the cons])iring husbands. Miss Brothers next arose to give a brief summary of the case. In her speech she dwelt upon the youth and inexperience of the ])laintiff and so beautifully and elo- quently did she plead her case that the jury were in tears. Many were the interup- tions, tlie crying of a baby which had been concealed beneath the shawl of the Italian, frecpient comments from the jury, laughs from the spectators, cheering and the wav- ing of handkerchiefs all of which greatly tried the jiatience of the justice. Miss Marshall ' s speech seemed to move the jury to indignation rather than winning them to the side of the defendant. She ] )rovided the jury with a good laugh when she refused to the obsoleteness of the other counsel ' s hat wliich was in truth a most un- ic(ue affair. Miss Carroll was first put upon the wit- ness stand. The usual question regarding her home life, her acquaintance with Mr. Keets and the breaking of the engagement was asked. Mr. William Barnard Keets was the next witness who divulged many intimate and humorous situations concerning tiie meeting and introduction of himself and Catherine. . Through the long proceedings Miss Brothers (-(juhl not restrain herself from juiuping up ami protesting against the cross examination of the witness and the counsel ' s effrontery in so commenting upon her ))ersonal belongings. After Billy had been on the stand only a few minutes Sally Lane, Miss Brother ' s assistant, hurried in and in excited whisp- ers and gestures talked to tlic twn sur- prised lawyers. Confusion and excitement reigned in the court when the lawyers asked all spectators exce])t the husbands of the jury to be re- moved. Outside the voice of the officer and a whining, protesting voice of some other dis- tressed human being was heard. In came the burly officer with a little man half dead wit ' .i fright, all much to the astonishment of the jury who fully expected to see a woman. Tlu ' witness who was found to be an em- ployee iif Mr. Pluidvctt, disclosed to the court tlu ' ]diit to hrin;;- ridicule upon this first and tody woman ' s jury. The indig- nant and angry lawyers demanded the ar- rest of the defendant, the plantiff and the conspirators and their plea was granted by the judge who was shocked and also angry at the fake. Everyone rushed to the bench of the judge protesting at the sentence while Hannah rejoices in fact that the trial end- id more like a wake. ACT III. The next morning the tive lady friends of Mrs. Reyn(dds met in the Reynolds li- brary. All were indignant and extremely angry over the trick played upon them by their husbands. Mrs. Plunkett although very wrathful because of her husband ' s treatment wept when she thought her Sam in a hon ' id dirty jail. In the midst of all these tears ami la- mentations Rodman came in to inform the ladies that there respective husbands would soon be out on the bail he had furnished. He, himself, seemel very cheerful and ha]5py almost too much so. After Christine announced l)reakfast and all the women had adjiutrned to the lireak- fast loom Rodman telephoned to Judge Sears and thanked him for letting the boys out on bail, incidentally dropping a hint of the clubs notes for him and asking him to come in on his way to the oflice. Miss Marshall overheard the jjloffing on the telephone and ru hed to the de.sk and called Miss Brothers. Miss Brothers was to call Rodman in about five minutes and get him out of the house on any pretent, preferably one about his bank account. Just as Rodman left very much excited over the call from tlie bank the ladies came into the library all anxiously conferring with Miss Marshall. Directions of Miss Marshall ' s weie to be as kind and hospitable as possible to the judge wiieii he ari ' ived. The judge came in and was surprised to see the ladies and not Rodman as he had expected. Coid drinks and cigars were served to him and many anxious queries into his health, the health of his wife and children. When he left he had almost promised to help the lawyer and her women fi-iends turn the tahles upon the jail birds. Rodman came in shortly after and sat near the telephone not knowing what to do to prevent a disaster he suspected to be coming led by ■ lady lawyer at that. Christinji announced the arrival of his friends from jail and in came the men and Miss Carrol, a weain-, dejected lot of hum- an beings. Their hats were on the sides of their heads, ties disarranged and alto- gether a bad spectacle. Catherine was angry with the men for bringing the whole affair and the men were angr - because Reynolds was having a good time and was not accused of being in the conspiracy. She became more and more disturbed when she thought of Billy ' s dis- closings on the stand and finally threw him her ring and broke the engagement before all six witnesses. In came Miss Marshall, Miss Brothers and the other ladies. The lawyer then in- formed the jnen upon what condition the charges against them will be cancelled. The twenty-five thousand would be paid to Miss Carroll and she in turn was to give it to the Woman ' s Progressive League to use for the cause. The men started for the porch to discuss the terms when in rushed Mrs. Hopford looking for her husband. All looked as- tounded and greatly astonished when the poor little, henpecked worm turned and ordered his Lily to be quiet and sit still or go home. Miss Brothers called the men back to hear their decision. Of course their de- cision was in favor of the dutiful wives and they gave one mighty yell for A Woman ' s right to right a woman ' s wrong. The women all in a beautiful and a for- giving mood heartly applauded their yell. Even Lily who had been very much put out because of her husband ' s late discipline forgave him and all were on peaceful terms once again.

Ralph Bowlby, former president of the Junior class last year, and football captain of the Hillclimbers Valley Champions, has held the otfice of President, while Fred Morrovi ' , Vice President of the organiza- tion, holds the state pole vault record. Charles Billington secretary, is president of the Leather Lungs. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to Create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.

Carpenter are almighty beings who guide the destinies of the club. - ' ■3 I Orange and Black Bookers THE LEATHER LUNGS Tlie Leather Lungs, the hnys ' booster or- o:aiuzation was conceived and named by Mr. Carpenter in 1923 upon seeing the need for pep and good sportsmanshp in athle- tics oi Wabash High School. For the past two yeai-s, with the aid of other school societies, it has jiiomoted and maintained a school spirit of loyalty, supporting all scliool activities especially athletics, and in victory or defeat has stood steadfastly behind the teams. The organization has l)an(|Lictc(l different athletic teams, ha given to cliarity and has been behind any worthy ludvcnii nl i f school or comnmnity . Tile organization is still in its infancy and the big things that it is going to do are yet to be done and appreciated. The rules and precepts are strict and exacting, highly democratic, and fitting for s-.u h an in-gan- ization. The school should be proud of the two men who are at the head, Mr. Carpent- er and Mr. Tewksbury for their efforts to make it the foremost organization in our school. The organization pledges its moral and financial support to any and all activi- ties of Wabash High Schocd and has high hopes for the biggest and best school year that has ever been recorded in the historv of good old W. H. S. (Charles Billington is President; Levou Bundy, Vice-President; Charles Hoover, Treasurer; Walter Yopst, Secretary and George Murphy, Sergeant-at-arms. In the last session, George Murphy was elected jiresident for 1925-26; Levon Bundy, Vice- President; Lewis Duridiaugh, Secretary; Charles Hoover, Treasurer; George Schultz Sergeant-at-arms.

RAVELINGS STAFF One of the greatest souives (if pleasure that appear in our high school, is the edi- tions of the Ravelings, the pet work of the commercial department.

J SUNSHINE SOCIETY The Sunshine Sucietv, organized in Crawfordsville, Indiana in 1900, was t(i promote better cooperation among the girls of the High School. The society is composed of the entire enrollment of the girls in High School, and each and every one is considered an active member. Re- alizing the need of such a society in the W. H. S., the local society was organized and became a permanent organization in September, 1922 with Miss Moore as faculty sponsor. Each year the Sunshine Society of W. H. S. sends delegates to the State Convention. It was represented this year by Kathryn Dufton and Anna Lee Engle at Martinsville, Indiana. At Christmas time holly wreaths were sold, and with the proceeds from this and a benefit picture show, the society has been able to remember the boys and girls who have been ill. Through these meetings, that are held once a month, the spirit of helpfulness and usefulness creates a stronger bond of friendship. The annual Kid Party was held in September with 250 girls present. The Senior, Junior, and Sophomore girls acted as Big Sisters to the incoming Fresh- man girls and promoted a spirit of good feeling among all the girls. COLORS AYhite and Gold.

OFFICERS Kathryn Dufton — President. Augusta Downey — Recording Secretary. Mary Purdy — Treasurer. Sophie Maroz — Corresponding Secretary. Anna Lee Engle — Chairman of Flower Committee. SUNSHINE KID PARTY About two bundled and tifty kiddies , some hugging dollies, others busily tying immense bows about the necks of huge teddy-bears, gathered at the Gymnasium on the evening of Sept. 19th. The guests at the party were received by the presi- dent, Miss Kathryn Dufton. Mr. Mills seemingly enjoyed the position as instruct- or of so large a kindergarten. A most ex- citing feature of the evening was the Kid- dy-Car race. Miss Janet Jones and Miss Hopkins are still arguing that they would have won the race if the judges had per- mitted two prizes to have been given to the victors. Very a.ppropiiate lyfreshnLent? of animal crackers and stick candy were served the girls. Deloris Williams receiv- ed the prize for being most kiddishlv dress- ed. HALLOWE ' EN PARTY The members of the Inter Nos Club met at the home of Lucille Preston for a Hallo- we ' en Party, Oct. 9th, 1924. All the mem- bers came masked and after they had been identified, games were played and puzzles w ' orked. Mary Purdy told a weird tale of olden times and great excitement (accom- panied by prickly shivers running up and down their spines) was caused when vari- ous parts of the anatomy were passed around to illustrate the tale and emphasize its grotesqueness. Refreshments suggest- ive of Hallowe ' en were served and the partj ' was a great success due to Lucille Preston, Marv Purdv, and Ruth Elliot. PEP SESSION On the evening of Oct. 15th the Leather Lungs called a general Pep Session for the morrow ' s Home-Coming Game. Mr. Dai ' - nall and Mr. Carpenter who had been in Indianapolis caught the train for our city and arrived here in time to join in the festivities. Frank Plummer, Homer Sho- walter and T. R. Tewksbury gave pep talks. HOME COMING Everyone remembers the unique parade the day of Oct. 16th, sponsored by the Leather Lungs. It was the Home-Coming Game. Not only did we have grown- ups in it but also infants! Yes, Bill Gray was an adorable baby diessed in a pretty organdie fro ck and a frilly bonnet. He was wheeled to the Football field in a baby carriage by several sister Lungers. The nursemaids were charming governesses to their young charges. In all, it was quite a clever initiation. STUNTS SUNSHINE Nov. 12th was Stunt Nite for the Sunshine Society. At the Elk ' s Club a business meeting was held. Following, was a clever initiation of a Freshie, present- ed by the Freshman Class. The Sopho- mores enacted a crossword puzzle, the Juniors staged a mock county school and the Seniors took great pleasure in introduc- ing the far-reaching fanned Jazz Orch- estra, the Hobo Syncopators. M. F. F ' s. At the close of the Football Season, the Wabash Valley Conference Champs bet- ter known as the Hill-climbers Avere royally entertained with a picnic supper by the Mj ' stical Fun Finders, who with the assistance of Miss Ruth Jones and Mis i Switzer, proved to be quite gracious host- esses. Nell Lawson furnished the music for the Grand March after which an ex- celent supper was served to the boys. Special guests of the evening were : Coach Thom, Mr. Darnall. Linden Maltby. Walter Yopst, and Clark Roberts. Other guests were : Paul Cornell, George Ross, Wilfred Misner, Gerald Garner, Jack Smith, John Smith, John ShoAvalter, Francis Mills, Homer Knee, Edward Vice, George Stauff- er.

Delicious refreshments were served, and the guests left the Burke residence at a late Iiour. CHRISTMAS PARTY S. S. A delightful Christmas party was given at the Elk ' s Club, Dee. 19. The Sunshine members beautifully decorated the club room with holly wreaths and pretty red bells. In one corner of the room stood a well decorated and brilliantly lighted tree. Each guest brought a while elephant gift to be placed beneath the branches of the tree. Miss Ruth Jones read us a story, as only Miss Jones can read, atttr which Ruth Lawson dressed as St. Nicholas presented a unique dance and distributed the gifts.

Candy canes v.ere given as favors of the evening. LEATHER LUNGS CHRISTMAS PARTY The Leather Lungs enjoyed their second annual Christmas Party Dec. 23, at the Gymnasium.

The guests were seated at twelve tables, each table being decorated to signify a month of the year. The young folks found their names on place cards at the table representing the month of their respective births. A delicious and very elaborate three course dinner was served by the following members of the commit- tee : Mesdames, Clarence Duf ton, Arthur Grover, Charles Hutt , Sarah Clapp, and E. F. Seigmund. Mr. Williams, the Seal Sec- retary of the National Christian Endeavor was the principal speaker of the evening. He addressed the students on Modern Christian Endeavor.

A mock auction was held in which Albert Kline and a toga, which were supposed to have been formerly in the possession of Cicero were auctioned by John Beauehamp.

F ' s The Mystical P ' lm Finders held a picnic supper in the basement of the Library Feb. 20th in honor of four pledges. Incidently the pledges were initiated at the time.

PATRICK ' S PARTY March 17th found everyone weariii ' the green. The second annual St. Patrick ' s Day Banquet was a feature of the Leather Lung activities for the month of March.

This building group, according to preli- minary plans, will consist of four units — main building for classroom purposes, fac- ing east, gymnasium to the north, and the vocational sloping to the west. The main building besides containing the administra- tive offices, two main corridors, an adequate library, a room for a health clinic, and rest rooms, will contain eighteen classrooms. Three of these will be laboratories for phy- sics, chemistry and biology, respectively : three will be used for classes in the com- mercial department. There will be a spec- ial room for the Art department, a special room just off the auditorium for the Music department, and two rooms for regular academic subjects. The gymnasium will have a floor space of 45 feet by 70 ¥eet and a seating capacity of 1,650. There will also be modern, sepa- rate dressing rooms, for boys and girls, Avith locker space. The auditorium will have a seating capa- city of 1,000 with stage facilities adequate for modern needs of both school and com- munity. The one story length to the west will contain the shops for metal work, in- cluding auto mechanics and woodwork, be- sides sufficient space for a suite of rooms suitable for Avell organized Home Econo- mies department, according to the most modern ideas. Space is reserved in the rear for erection of two wings each contain- ing six classrooms, if future growth should demand. This group of buildings with modern equipment will not only give Wabash the opportunity to conduct one of the best high schools in the state but will permit the reorganization of the whole Wabash city school system. By removing the 7th and 8th grades from the five ward build- ings and placing them in the present high school building, we can organize a Junior High School. One of the main advantages of such an organization is the opportunity to form special groups of boys and girls giving each group the specific type of work suited to its needs. In this way school officials can interest and better prepare for actual life work many boys and girls now compelled to at- tend school until 16 years of age, who form- erly dropped out of school at the end of the 5th and 6th grade. Manual training, cooking, and sewing will be extended far beyond what is now given in the 7th and 8th grades because of limited advantages in going from ward buildings to high school. General Science and Elementary Mechan- ical Dl ' awing can also be included in the Junior high school course. By the removal of the 7th and 8th grades from the ward buildings two rooms in each building will be available to take care of the future growth, and there will be for use immediately space for physical train- ing and auditorium work. There will also be room to enable the School Board to ac- cede to the growing demand for kinder- garten in the Wabash city schools. In general, the new building enables the Wabash schools, first to house its students in a building suitable tD the. needs of a modern high school, and, second, to re- organize the whole school system along most modern lines, meeting changing social conditions and better preparing future citizens. Beneath the moon he told his love, The color left her cheeks, But on the shoulder of his coat, It showed quite plain for weeks.
