S. four and one-half years Superintendent Wabash City Schools, eleven and one-half years WABASH HIGH SCHOOL For several years it was evident that Wabash needed a new, larger, up-to- date, well-equipped High School, as the old one was not large enough to take care of the incoming students. Some of the taxpayers objected on the grounds that it was a useless expenditure of money and that the old High School was good enough. At last, through the cooperation of the School Board, composed of Dr. Minetta Jordan. N. P. Lavengood and Milo Meredith, Superintendent O. J. Neighbors, and Principal M. C. Darnall, with the taxpayers, the project was put through and the construction of the new building, located on North Miami street, was begun in 1925. The construction of the main building and gymnasium was completed for occupancy in the fall of 1926. The class of 1927, the publishers of this Sycamore, compose the first graduating class from the New Wabash High School. THE 1927 MAYNARD C. DARNALL Principal A. B.

Their feelings were quite a mixture of awe and fear — for hazing had not yet been abolished. Too. they were rightfully made to feel very insignificant mortals. At that time it was little thought that this class of 19 27 was to produce celebrities in athletics who were to be heard of all through this part of the continent. In the year of ' 23 and ' 24 this class was well represented on the gridiron, the hardwood, and the cinders. Never was a Freshman class so active in school sports as this one was. It was during this year that they lost one of the classmen. Paul Haupert, by death. This loss was felt keenly, and his classmates were quite subdued for a while. The next fall the class of ' 27. then Sophomores, did not get a chance for revenge, as hazing was abolished that year. Needless to say. however, the Sophs were full of bright ideas when it came to making the incoming Froshes duly uncomfortable. That year the class gained added honors in sports and scholarship. Six Sophs shared honors and responsibilities with the rest of the eleven men who brought home the Wabash Valley Conference football championship. Too, it was a Soph who came home from the state wrestling meet a state champ. Besides Ross, there were several other Sophs on the wrestling squad which took third in the state this, our first wrestling year. The class of ' 2 7 was organized for the first time this year, the officers being: Elizabeth King, President; Max Gray, Vice-President; Charles Coburn. Secretary-Treasurer. As Juniors, this class proved to be very efficient upper-classmen. They led the school in athletics and scholarship. Contests of all kinds were won by the Juniors, and a Junior, Ross, was the captain of the football squad composed mostly of Juniors. The class also boasted of two state wrestling champs, Ross and Austin, and Showalter took first in the 440 in the state track meet. The Juniors showed their social ability by the highly successful banquet they gave the Seniors near the close of the year. The officers this year were: George Ross. President; Augusta Downey. Vice-President; and Lee Showalter, Secretary-Treasurer. When they came back to school in ' 26 they found themselves dignified Seniors, and very fittingly adapted themselves to the post of leadership of the school. In football, all of the sixteen men on the first team were Seniors. This team won the Wabash Valley Championship. The State Wrestling Championship came to W. H. S. this year, and Ross and Austin. Seniors, again were state champs. Showalter, a Senior, distinguished himself by being both track and football captain. Vice was basketball captain, another Senior, and Max Gray, also of the class of ' 27, was wrestling captain. This class showed its originality and cleverness by the successful Senior Play. It is also the first class to graduate from the magnificent new school building. This is very fitting as the class of ' 27 led the school for all four years in scholarship and athletics. The class was guided through this last year by Augusta Downey, President; Philip Murphy, Vice-President, and Wayne Sowers. Secretary-Treasurer. It is with many backward glances that the class of ' 27 leaves old W. H. S. — the best of all schools! Lulan Dennis.

HORS1E ' CAPT.-ELECT DON WABASH VALLEY CONFERENCE Aggregating more points against their opponents than any other conference winner before, the Wabash High team decisively won the Wabash Valley Conference cup for 1926-7. Their first opponent. Huntington, was easily downed by the score of 5 9-0. Showing even better form, the Thomcais tore thru Kokomo for a victory of 50-7 in their second conference game. Completely overwhelming the Logansport gridiron exponents, [he Wabash team easily won their third conference game by the topheavy score of 79-0. By defeating Peru 45-3, the Thorn- cats won the cup and showed without any doubt their superiority over the conference members. This is the second time in two years that a Wabash team has won the Conference championship, winning it this year and the year before last. THE WEARERS OF THE MOLESKINS LEE SHOWALTER. Captain Horsie Football fans always expected a first-class performance from Horsie and they were never disappointed. Changing from end position to back-field, he filled the place capably thruout the season. W. H. S. regrets to lose Horsie. WENDEL SCHEERER Fat Scheerer certainly displayed increasing de- termination to win. He played his part at center and helped the Thomcats come thru their successful season. We regret that Scheerer will not return to fight and win next year. Sanford Austin Sandy Sandy has made a name for himself on the Hoosier gridiron. In the backfield. he worked hard and capably. His brilliant interference was an outstanding feature of Wabash ' s playing. Sandy ' s going will cause much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Henry Watts Hank Hank played real football this year at tackle. He is a new man at the game and has plenty of time for improvement. He has everything a tackle should have, and with the will and determination, he should do some exceptional work next year. THE 1927 r Edward Vice Eddie Although the backfield usually gets the credit for a touchdown, such a thing would be impossible without a good line. No team would want a better guard than Eddie. He always saw that his man and a few others were put out of order with- out delay. Wabash will miss you. Eddie. cO t J LAMOINE LATCHEM Latch Latch deserves all the credit that can be given to him. He won the admiration of his teammates and opponents alike by his hard-working and fighting attitude. Latch will be back next year on the team. GiiORcn Ross Rossie In losing Ross. Wabash loses the best back in the state for three years. Displaying a flashy running attack. Ross has carried the ball over for a touchdown time and again. An all stale man this year. Ross will be very hard to replace. il ssi 1 i RG1 SON Scanty-Brains Wabash loses a great leader in Ferguson tin-, year. Scanty played a wonderful game .11 quarter back ami outgeneraled his opponents m a way creditable to the bet. ■ .. SYCAMORE Howard Worth Mose Mose came out this year for the first time and did some mighty keen work at quarter. He was fast on his feet and could carry the ball thru for gains almost any time against the strongest teams. We regret that Mose did not come out before bis last year. Robert Schwab Carl Carl Schwab, drop-kicker deluxe, was one of the real finds of the season. Com- ing out for the first time. Schwab per- formed on the gridiron with credit, adding not a few points to the scores by his sensational drop kicks. When will W. H. S. find a successor for Bobbie ? GEORGE WOOD Indiana Ave. Johnstown, the Thomcats ' Charlcstown King, used his nimble feet to good ad- vantage throughout the season. Such in- terference as George made has not been seen in many a year. George shifted about from tackle to fullback and vice versa and played both positions as well as any coach or fan could wish. We expect to hear more about George next year. LEROY WOOD Slone Wall Woods stayed a comeback from last year and played real football this year. Indiana doesn ' t produce better tackles than Leroy. and his opponents feared him as the pro- verbial china-shop keeper fears the entrance of an angry bovine. We regret it much that this is the last year in W. H. S. for Stone Wall. THE 1927 Donald Bowlby Shot Foot Shot Foot. ' ' captain-elect, followed the precedent set by his big brothers. Pop ' ' and Bern. and delighted the football fans with his great playing. Bowlby will undoubtedly make a great name for him- self and captain the team next year thru a successful season. J C.I 1NTON OSTHIMER Myrtle Osthimer played a brand of football this season that probably made some of the old gridiron stars stir in their graves. He entirely justified the honor given him by a berth on the all-state team. A task to be solved next year is to find an end like Oostcrbaum. Alfred Obringer Red ' At end position. Red was a star. The old fighting spirit is deep within Alf. and he helped the team over the rough spots by his exceptional playing. No one could want better ends than Obringer or Osthimer. YV. H. S. loses a real Irish scrapper in Red. Bl RT FERGUSON Oysters Bert played an effective game at guard this year. His playing this year showed a great improvement over that of last year. Bert is fast and heavy and stopped all plays going his way. Too bad V. H. S. loses him.

Straight football was used to win the game. At no time was the Wabash goal line in danger. The Thomcats scored a victory over their old rival in a game that ended 4 8-6. The Orange and Black team put on exhibition a sort of football that is seldom seen in high school games. In a game replete with thrills the Golden Tornadoes won from the Thomcats by the close score of 3-0. Playing against a team that had. not tasted defeat by a Hoosier team for seven years, the Orange and Black team completely outclassed the Gary warriors in the last half. Many fans declared that W. H. S. could defeat the Emerson aggregation in a game played the full time. In a game conceded to Wabash before the kick-off by even Marion fans, the Marion Giants thoroughly squelched Wabash ' s aspirations for state championship by a score of 6-0. The usual punch and drive of the Orange and Black team was sadly lacking. Over-confidence played the trick without a doubt. COACH THOM In the three years that Coach Thom has been with W. H. S.. he has built up a reputation for himself as a go-getting coach and has pushed farther the high standard of athletics in Wabash High. He has moulded raw men into a scrapping, winning, football team, has produced famed track men. and has amazed the state with his wrestlers. Of Coach, we can truthfully say that he has eagerly taken on the harness and done more than his share of the work at each and every time. THE 1927 BASKETBALL VICE-CAPTAIN EDDIE Eddie has played a consistent game for several years for old W. H S. Vice started at forward and was the man who made most of the points for tile Coolmen. Eddie is a player who can he depended upon to do his best in each and every play. He is a fighter and a sportsman from tip of toe to top of head. Eddie, we say goodbye with regret.

With veterans to work with, he developed the Cool-men. a team that played basketball with the best. Playing with teams far superior in natural ability, they held their own and stopp ed fighting only when the final whistle blew. Coach Coolman certainly knows basketball and kept the team instilled with the lighting spirit. With Coolman as basketball coach. Wabash has hopes of going to the state tournament — some day. ?- 4 J f f - • SYCAMORE SEASON Although the basketball season was not so good as was hoped for. the Coolmen did as well as could be expected. W. H. S. basketeers have always been handicapped heretofore by the lack of an adequate gymnasium. Now, with our fine new gym, we have high expectations for our basketball teams. New material is coming on from the Junior High, and Mr. Coolman hopes in the near future to bring basketball on a par with the other sports. The team won a large number of the games it played and showed fine form in some of them. In the sectional tournament they defeated Roann by a score of 22-12 and then were defeated by Laketon 25 to 17. Laketon losing to North Manchester in the finals.

In the three years that W. H. S. men have combated for honors on the mat. they have not lost a dual meet. Meeting cub and every one ol the toughest aggregations in the state, they have vanquished all. In 1925 they placed third in the state tournament; in 1926. second; and in 1927. they were crowned state champions. With three firsts, two seconds, and three thirds, the Orange and Black team defeated Bloomington. running up 5 to 3-1 Coach Thorn introduced wrestling in W. II. S. when he first came here and the winning of state honors was a fitting way to bid farewell to him. This year ' s team will be the last Thomcat team of W. II. S.. but it has upheld nobly the fighting traditions of Wabash under the inspiration ol a fighting coach. Ja SYCAMORE COACH W. H. THOM Junior Middleweight Champion of the World M. Gray ' Max 125 lbs. Captain Gray is one who trains to the nth degree the year round and is an ex- ceptional wrestler. He took third place in the state match. Gray is a senior and will be greatly missed next year. Ross. Geo. Firpo 165 lbs. Ross is a natural wrestler and possesses ability that pro- fessionals would envy. He has been state champion in his class in each of the three years of wrestling for W. H. S. The loss of Rossie will be of great regret to all. SCHULER. BOB 100 lbs. No one expected Bob to go so far toward attaining the state championship as he did for there were some keen grapplers in his class. Bob surprised them all and took first place. . = =M- Bob Printy During the three years that wrestling has been in vogue in Wabash, Bob has been a faithful and conscientious pupil of Coach Thorn and an invaluable aid to the wrest- ling team. He is known throughout the state for his ability as a grappler and as an excellent referee. Austin. Sandy 155 lbs. Sandy deserves a lot of credit for the success of the team. He duplicated his record for last year and de- feated all his opponents in the state tournament, V H. S. will feel the loss of Sandy. THE 1927 K. Gray. Bill 108 lbs.

SYCAMORE TRACK THE 1927 MILE RELAY TEAM OF 1927 This year ' s mile relay team was composed of Woods. Osthimer. Davis, and Showalter. who were four ol the best quarter-milers in the state. They have each trained hard and faithfully, and the result has been a winning team. Unlike most teams, they arc all good men and run at about a par. In case of injury or sickness. Petry. with his grim determination, fitted in any place without weakening the team. In fact, he ran when the team won at Elkhart. Two of the biggest achievements this year have been the winning of cups at the Goshen and Elkhart relays. These meets are two of the largest in the state. These boys all perform better in relay action than they do in separate events, showing a keen interest in team spirit. At the time this is going to press, the school and the town are anxiously awaiting the outcome at the state meet According to dope, the team has the best record and the best time in the state. (P- 1 J SYCAMORE TRACK SEASON Although individual stars were few this year, W. H. S. exhibited a track team that was the last word in cooperation. There were a few men in the field events particularly, but this defect was made up by the number out for track. Captain Showalter was the star of the team, gathering most of the points and showing good form in the half-mile and 100 yard sprint. Ferguson delighted fans by heaving the shot over forty feet. He increased the score for Wabash several times by his shot putting. Woods, dusky quarter-miler, helped the relay team by his running. Schwab and Cornell placed in several meets in the high jump and pole vault. In the meet at Elkhart, April 16, Wabash took two thirds and a first in the mile relay. The following Saturday in a dual meet at Peru, the Peru team raced to a 76-23 victory. At the Goshen relays, the mile relay team took « first and Showalter copped first honors in the half mile. W. H. S. placed ' fourth in the Wabash Valley Track and Field meet. May 7, at Kokomo. A few words must be said to summarize it all as this must go to press. Altho the team was weak in some of the events, the boys could be counted on to score heavily in each meet. The mile relay team has been built up until it is one of the best in the state. All in all, the season was to a degree satisfying. SECTIONAL AT PERU The following track men will participate in the State Meet: Osthimer, Davis, Showalter. (mile relay) Ferguson, and Cornell. Mile Relay — First (broke sectional record, 3:47) Pole Vault — Cornell, first. Half Mile — Showalter, second. Shot Put — Ferguson, second. Woods, THE 1927 GIRLS ' ATHLETICS COACH MARCIA SNOW When Coach Snow came to Wabash High last fall, she faced the tremendous task of transforming a group of totally inexperienced basketeers into a well-functioning girls ' team. She has set a precedent that will be hard to attain in future years by other coaches. From the seeming multitude of eager but untrained girls of W. H. S.. she eliminated all but a few who showed promise of becoming stars on the court. With this group as her nucleus, she led a team out onto the floor that fought the whole game and kept their courage despite the defeats certain to be meted out to teams in their infancy. We feel that Coach Snow has brought girls ' basketball to stay in W. H. S.

The Sophomores were victorious over the Seniors. The Juniors defeated the Freshmen. In the final game between the Sophomores and the Juniors the Sophomores won, making them THE 1927 J. inter-class champions of the girls in Wabash High School. In other sports tourneys were also held. The Juniors were victorious when it came to playing volley ball. In baseball the tables were turned, for the coveted championship in this sport went to the mighty Seniors. Rah! Rah! Rah! V SYCAMORE •- v CAPT. DOT BURNIE CAPT. -ELECT Pres. W. A. A. BICKF.L This year marked the beginning of girls ' athletics in Wabash High School, and from all indications they are here to stay. Coach Snow produced a team this year that, although it did not have a totally successful season, did a great deal in establishing co-ed athletics in W. H. S. All the girls deserve a lot of credit for their hard work and the fine attitude that was shown. Old English letters were awarded the girls at the end of the season as a token of appreciation. The line-up was as follows: Dufton. DeArmond. Engle. Lavengood Forwards Baum. Banister, McNarney. Yost, K-ing Centers Van Arsdall. Bickcl, Brown, Davidson Guards Next year, with seven veterans, the Snowballs should strut their stuff against all comers. VOLLEY BALL Miss Snow introduced volley ball among the girls immediately after the basketball season. They took up the sport with zest and have become very proficient in the sport. An inter-class tournament was held and first honors were won by the team representing the Junior class. THE 1927 ■ ' h $ iiL Vt F Sb l IVcitfrtifeg SYCAMORE r STUDENT COUNCIL In an effort to make our school more democratic, a new organization. The Student Council, was created this year. Bv the medium of this organization, the student body can propose new laws or rules pertaining to our school government which they wish established. We feel that this is one of the greatest advancements made in our school for quite a while. The membership of this organization is composed of the officers of all the organizations and the heads of all the activities in school. The executives of this organization are: Max Gray. President; Elizabeth King. Vice-President: Louise Leland. Secretary and Treasurer. INTER NOS Inter Nos. as you have probably already guessed, is the Latin club of our high school. The meaning of the name is Among Ourselves. ' They carry friendship among the members. Anv student who is taking his third year of Latin or who has taken it for three years, is eligible to this club. Each month an interesting and enjoyable meeting is held at the home of one of the members. At that time they have unique programs which are both instructive and entertaining. Their officers are: Max Gray. President: Elizabeth King. Vice-President: Chas. Wiley. Secretary-Treasurer. The credit for this organization goes to Miss Blayney who has been untiring in her efforts. l - J M. F. F. Two years ago the M. F. F. was organized to boost athletics in our school. Since then the Mystical Fun Finders have become the standards of loyalty and pep in our school. Never a contest on the gridiron, hardwood, cinders, or mat, but what the M. F. F. ' s were there 100 percent strong. They made flags before the Gary game to make the town more festive for the Homecoming game. Then when it came time for the pep meetings, none could surpass them in enthusiasm. At the close of the football and wrestling season, this loyal group of girls showed their appreciation by banqueting the heroes. These are only a few of the innumberable things this package of pep did this year. Their member- ship is limited, so they try to choose the girls most active in promoting good school spirit. Their success is aided materially by the never failing, always increasing interest of Miss Jones and Miss Snow. Much credit is also due their officers: Elizabeth King. President; Helen Hyman, Vice-President: Betty Baldwin, Secretary -Treasurer. THE 1927 V LEATHER LUNGS Leather Lungs — that ' s just the name that best applies to this bunch of fellows when they are out lending their voices to make a pep meeting more successful or to help the team come to victory. They were organized three years ago and have steadily increased in power until they are the leading boys ' club in W. H. S. so far as accomplishments are concerned. Each year they give the basketball team a banquet at the close of the season, thus doing their bit in keeping the hard-wood boys in spirits. They gave a play again this year which was very successful, signifying much hard work. Their membership is limited to fifty, all loyal workers for V. H. S. Mr. Tewksbury and Mr. Carpenter lend the helping hand lo this organization. The officers are: George Schultz. President: Lee Showalter. Vice-President: Robert Wassman, Secretary; John Weber. Treasurer: Robert Schwab. Sergcant-ai- Arms. J V — « SYCAMORi C. D. S. The C. D. S. is a club organized in ' 25 for all members of the Commercial Department whose grades average B plus or above. The official name is known only to its members. Officers are: Louise Leland. President: Dolores Jeffries. Secretary; Tilda Meeks. Treasurer: Kathryn Obringer, Sergeant-at-Arms; Alfred Obringer. Doorkeeper. The business of this club is to cultivate good habits and elevate scholastic standing. ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra has had only a few chances to show the talent that is in this group this year. They pleasingly furnished the music for the Senior play, proving their merit at this time as well as at the commencement exercises. Under the able directorship of Miss Cora Small, the orchestra met every Thursday after school. It is hoped that in the coming year increasing interest will be shown in this organization. THE 1927 SUNSHINE The aim of the Sunshine girls is to be what the name implies. They try to spread good will and good cheer throughout our school. If you don ' t agree that they succeed, just ask some one who has been ill. for they send flowers to every student who is out of school for more than three days because of illness. Wabash sent several delegates to the state Sunshine convention held at Huntington this year. Throughout the year they gave many successful parties, which were well attended by the girls. They made money by selling candy at the basketball games. Every girl automatically becomes a member of this organization upon entering school. Miss Moore is largely responsible for the success of this organization. The officers are: Augusta Downey. Pre sident; Louise Leland. Vice-President: Wanda Smyers. Secretary: Betty Baldwin, Treasurer: Elizabeth King. Chairman of Flower Committee. « • 4 7 , CHORUS One of the most prominent musical organizations in our school is the chorus. It is composed of members of both the so-called stronger and weaker sexes who have some inclination toward the correct use of the vocal cords. The meetings of this organization are held two days a week during the vacant periods of the members. On Tuesday the fairer sex holds full sway, but they are joined on Friday by the male population. This is the first year that we have had a mixed chorus in our school. It is a custom that the chorus furnishes the music for the baccalaureate services of our school. They did this exceedingly well this year. Miss Small is the much valued leader of this organization. W. A. A. No, don ' t look in your old annuals to see what they said about W. A. A. for you won ' t find it there. You see. it was just founded this year by our first girls ' coach, Miss Snow. The membership of this club is open to every girl in school who is interested in sports. The purpose of the organization is to foster girls ' athletics in W. H. S. The Women ' s Athletic Association, yes, that ' s what W. A. A. stands for, sponsored all girls ' inter-class athletic meets this year. Perhaps the greatest thing they did was to put on a benefit movie in order that they might equip the girls ' varsity basketball team. Much thanks is due them for that. They have established an honor-point system whereby they may earn W. A. A. letters. The officers are: Burnace DeArmond, President: Helen Hyman. Vice-President: Mary Hoover. Secretary: Dortha Bickel, Treasurer. These are chosen so that each class is represented.

It was a very imaginative, clever Indian play. It was given in pantomine with ivlax telling the story as the play progressed. It was written in the clever style which only he is capable of doing. The actors consisted of girls of the Sunshine Club. Along with this play the first period chorus gave a very clever operetta. Lady Francis. which took place in a college sorority room. Much talent was shown in this presentation. SYCAMORE THE 1927 YOU NEVER TOLD ME By Thomas Hunter Scene — Living room of the Zeta Sigma fraternity house at Stanton University.

Cast: Oliver Bruce from Bruceville Clark Roberts Chuck Houston. a football player Lee Showalter Clarence Short, interested in psychology Don Bowlby Herbert Hall, a freshman Merl Whistler William West, working his way through College Howard Worth Black. Chief of Police John Weber Dad Compton. an old Zeta Sig from State Wendell Scheercr Mrs. Compton. his wife Robert Wassman Mary Moore, a co-ed Robert Milliner Betty Bruce, another co-ed Jeane Baker Helen Houston. Chuck ' s sister James Craft You Never Told Me was the second annual play given by the Leather Lungs. These plays are very unique in the fact that the parts of the fair co-eds are so excellently portrayed by the members of the male population. The plot of this play consists of the frame up of the members of the Zeta Sig fraternity to make Chuck Houston (Lee Showalter) see and remedy the conceit which he has acquired since he ' s become president of the Zeta Sig and football captain. They do this by making him think the fraternity is going on the rocks this year. Each new member takes some disguise so Chuck will think him a disgrace to the frat. The most comical of these is Clarence Short (Don Bowlby) who professes to be interested in psychology. He carries this out to the highest degree throughout the play. The farce comes to an end during a house party when several old Zeta Sig brothers come to the rescue. Mystery reigns here when Mrs. Compton (Robert Wassman) is suddenly shot by supposed robbers. Of course in the end it is prov d that this was faked and Mrs. Compton is merely an old Zeta Sig man in disguise. Luckily, the chief of police. (John Weber) was also a Zeta Sig and ever willing to aid in their plans. After they allow Chuck to worry awhile they tell him what it ' s all about, and his conceit and worry vanish together. His greatest surprise comes when he finds thai all his this year ' s members ol Zeta Sig are regular fellows after all. y uy J SYCAMORE CAST Lavasso Wellman. a Lawyer Lee Showalcer Ted, his small son Elizabeth King Barbara, Wellman ' s daughter Josephine Wilkinson Mrs. Wellman Helen Banister Doctor Boxill, Mrs. Wellman ' s sister Kathleen Smalzried Clayton Holmes, a poor young man John Weber Hugh Killroy, a rich young man Wayne Sowers Carrie, a maid Mary Jane Wells Alonza K.

Swartout fth Vi Ks ' Time — The present. Act I, Garden of Mr. Wellman ' s home, New York, an evening in June. Act II. Farm Spring, Canada. Two days later. Act III. Same as Act II. A few minutes later. Act IV. Same as Act I. Four days later. The Senior Play, Close to Nature, was without doubt the most unique and realistic portrayal of life ever given in Wabash. It included both human and animal life — each and every being really living his part. It would have been impossible to have selected a better cast than this one, as each character was genuine in his part of this farcial episode in the life of an American family. So truly did every one meet into his role, that even the goose forgot his sur- roundings and tiring of the stage life, flew down to make a survey of the audience at closer range. It did not take us long after the opening curtain to find that Mrs. Well- man ( Helen Banister) was quite a social climber, and intended to gain the uppermost pinnacle of society by persuading her daughter Barbara (Josephine Wilkinson) to marry Hugh Killroy (Wayne Sowers), who was the son of a very wealthy brewer. She had two great obstacles on her way; one was the fact that Barbara was in love with Clayton Holmes (Jack Weber) ; the other was that Mr. Wellman (Lee Showalter) had refused to allow young Kill- roy to enter his house as he did not have a great amount of excessive ambition. Mrs. Wellman, by the assistance of Carrie, the maid (Mary Jane Wells) , her son Ted (Elizabeth King) and her sister. Dr. Boxill (Kathleen Smallzried) finally persuades Lavasso Wellman to believe he is ill and must take a vacation. Now Mr. Wellman is a very robust type of man and it took a great deal of clever plotting to make him see his illness. A great deal of the comedy in this scene was introduced by the pranks of Ted, who would be a boy. It took marvelous acting on the part of Elizabeth King to put this part over. Another excellent portrayal in this scene was in the part of Kathleen Smallzried who rep- resented Dr. Boxill, an ultra-masculine woman. The next two scenes take place at Farm Springs, Canada. This turns out THE 1927 to be an ordinary run-down farm house which has been misrepresented in the advertisements as a modern hotel. Mr. Dewsnap (Max Gray) has gained the consent of the Muirhcads. who own the farm, to try his health experiment out at this place. Clayton Holmes comes here to bury his sorrows after being turned down by Barbara. He disguises himself as a farm hand while the Well- mans are here, but Barbara discovers him and tries to get him to take her away. but he refuses. At that point Killroy arrives on the scene, as Mrs. Wellman has sent for him. He gets Ted to join ranks with him to say that he has saved Ted ' s life. Mrs. Wellman has told him that she is sure Mr. Wellman will con- sent to Hugh ' s marriage to Barbara if he believes him to have done some good deed. All works out as planned, but the entire episode affords much comedy. The settings for these scenes were the most realistic, elaborate, and unique ever put on in Wabash stage. They consisted of live animals, such as sheep, hogs, chickens, geese, a parrot, a goat, a pony and all other farm inhabitants. Nothing was left undone to make this scene farm-like even though it took much work to get these animals from the farms and in pens on the stage. Per- haps the greatest take off of the whole show was the entrance of the Wellman family in an old horse and wagon driven by the much disguised Howard Worth. The horse added the final touch which placed the play in a class of its own, and which will make Close to Nature linger in the minds of all who saw it. In the last scene the Wellmans return to New York. Much humor is added here by Mr. Wellman who is confident he is dying, although he forgets it before the scene is over. Killroy clears himself with the Wellman family by coming in dead drunk and reporting his dis-inheritance. Before he leaves, Holmes appears and tells Mr. Wellman he is the farm hand he hired to work in his law office. This at once wins Mr. Wellman and before long all is straightened out; and love finds its way in the engagement of Barbara and Clayton. The home life throughout the entire play was made to seem more real by the brother and sister disagreements caused by Ted. He never failed in an attempt to cause Barbara some amount of discomfort. Ted. boy-like, kept Mike, his dog, with him continually. Mike seemed to realize that he was an essential to the play and consequently did not acquire the least bit of stage fright which is very noteworthy — and not always expected — of a dog. The entire cast of this play is very deserving of credit. It takes much hard work to put on a play as successful as this, and they certainly merited much praise. There was not one member of the cast who did not play his part with the highest degree of perfection. All in all. Close to Nature will go down in the annals of W. H. S. as an ever-to-be-remcmbcred event, and as a play which will cause the forthcoming classes much work if they hope ever to surpass it. 9 - •- .. SYCAMORE THE 1927 -= ..

Hence — the keys to lend dignity. •Sepf.T- Sept. 18 — First football game! Seems as it ' s about the biggest thrill of all when those orange and black jersies come running out onto the field and we just know we ' ll win. The frosh have crowded Woolworth ' s today, buying yards of ribbons and crepe paper and little paper hats and horns. And the score — 5 8-0. Truly a fine game to dedicate a new field.

Mr. Teavcbaugh. talk to us. Mr. Tcavebaugh is one of the most interesting speak- ers by whom we have been lectured. He is to be re- membered from past years for his talk on Victor Kin- nard and The Great American Desert. These were speeches that will not be forgotten for many years, and this one was equally well-liked and interesting to those who were present. The message will be remembered by the words. I ' m going to be one of the eight! This was the essence of one, the speech in which he told that only eight out of one thousand succeed and finally reach the goal for which they set out.

The play is called Close to Nature. and is a farce comedy. Mr. Shank ' s judgment has always been upheld, however, and no matter who ' s in it. it will be allright with us. Only hope our play is as good as last year ' s. Spring Vacation — Apr. 3 — A week later would have been too late. There was an epidemic of the malady known as spring fever around W. H. S. Four out of five had it. and the other one was in danger. Some left for parts unknown, some slept, and others practiced for the play. Just think — only eight more weeks of school. J- h April 1 6 — First Track Meet — Elkhart. Our boys won first in the relay, and placed in other events. Before the year ' s over we expect to have several state men or even national. The boys are all interested, and we have high hopes for them. Well. Seniors, it ' s your last chance to win for W. H. S.. and we ' re counting on you. The last kick off is made, the last touchdown is but a memory. The last basket is shot and the last dribble finished. No more will we hear of toe holds and head- locks, and soon the last mile will have been run and the last pole vault recorded. THE 1927 l s Siilu Sophs — V SYCAMORE THE 1927 JOKES Verse One: I sing of the arms of the Seniors, And the seat of a Freshman ' s pants, (if the rhythm of flailing paddles. And the verdant one ' s impromptu dance, Of our lockers stuffed down in one corner. And the terrors of first six weeks test, ( M flunking out in Latin. And the names that we carved on our desk. I l slaving in extra period. nd victrola needles parked on our se.it. Of being bombarded with snowballs, And canned out for trying to eat. Chorus Oh, the glory of being a Freshman, The mingled pleasure and pain. We say, as we look back in after years. ' It can ' t be the same again. ' ' And now we are dignified Sophomores. The joy and the pride of the school. We swing down the hall, with a self-assured air For now we are nobody ' s fool. We give good advice to the Freshmen: We veil ourselves hoarse at a game: Its men like us that make the school: We ' re a credit to its name. Chorus: Well, here ' s to be baby-faced Sophomores, Mosl sophisticated scholars you ' ll find. There ' s none to surpass this masterly class In the culture ol the mind VerSC Three: We ' re Juniors and very proficient In our studies, athletics, et al: We win all the inter-class tourneys And make ' Special Mention as well. We have to buy food for the V At the banquet which happens in May; We ' re always quite kind to the Freshmen And the Sophomores keep out of our way. Chorus: Oh we ' re the ones who do the most Of the work there is to be done: The Seniors get all the glory; The Freshmen have al! the fun. Verse Four: And now — we have reached the climax; We Seniors have the right To ride on our reputation And never study at night. We take all the local amusements With a bored and tolerant air: We go out of town on Sunday night. And boast of our latest Affair. We can ' t seem to notice the others Who inhabit W. H S We make it a point to be absent. When teacher announces a test. Chorus: Oh. we ' re the bright and luminous light That shines around this haunt. The pr i nc ipa 1 job o I the rest of the mob Is to get us what we want. A pedestrian, bumped by a taxi, found himself lying in the street directly in the path of a steam roller. 1 hat reminds me, he cried in a tone of annoyance. I was to bring horn some pancake flour. ' ' He: What would you say if I told you I loved you? ' She: I would say you were a liar. ' ' He: You ' d be right. Did the doctor remove your appendix?

W. : Said she ' d send me a picture of it. Kentner B.: Wait! I have an idea. Mr. Magner: Well, that ' s possible. A black hand letter addressed to a wealthy man demanded $25,000: other- wise they would kidnap his wife. Through error the missive was de- livered to a poor laborer by the same name who replied: I ain ' t got no money, but I ' m interested in your proposition. Si: Sarah, is there anything you want in town this morning? Sarah: Well, Si. you might buy a jar of that traffic jam I ' ve been readin ' about. Sign on the back of an old gentleman who had chronic fainting spells: If I fall on the street and am taken to the hospital, do not operate. My appendix has been removed twice already. Willie, asked the teacher, What was it Sir Walter Raleigh said when he placed his cloak on the muddy road for the beautiful queen to walk over? Rainy Smith, the ultra-modern, gazed about the classroom in dismay, and then, taking a long chance, replied: Step on it, kid. The sad-looking contractor scanned the menu card with a hopeless air. You may bring me a dozen fried oysters, he said at last. I ' se awful sorry, boss, the colored waiter apologized, but de fact is, we ' s outer all shellfish ' ceptin aigs. Marietta: Oh, papa, what is your birthstone? Mr. Darnall: My dear, I ' m not sure, but I think it ' s a grindstone. Sweet Young Thing: Why are you running that steam roller over that field?

To Seniors of W. H. S. : — You are now at the point of graduating from old W. H. S. Many of you have a vision of going to college next fall. But where? Would you like to get into a college atmosphere where friendliness is so marked that practically every student knows every other student and the same thing is true of the faculty? Does an atmosphere of naturalness, where you can be yourself and not be compelled by certain con- ventions to put on airs appeal to you? Do you like the prospect of the great out-of-doors coming right up to the college doorstep? Then come down to Hanover. Prexy will be glad to hear from any of you who are interested in college. Simply address him, W. A. Millis. Hanover, Indiana, and don ' t hesitate to write. You ' ll enjoy his response. Very cordially, Leonard L. Huber, W. H. S. 1911.
