Olive Post Office was established, two and one half miles north of the present site of Wararusa. At nearly the same time, William Moon settled where the fish pond used to be, in the present site of Wakarusa. He was the first settler. After some time others had settled near him and in 1852 they platted the village and called it Salem. The Mt. Olive Post Office was moved to Salem. At once difficulties arose, there being another Salem in Indiana. After a time of confusion in postal matters, the citizens assembled in a town meeting and voted a new name. After some argument, Mr. Woolverton proposed the name of Wakarusa which was the name of the town in Kansas from which he came. This name re- ceived the general favor because the meaning is knee deep in mud. This was characteristic of the boggy soil on which the town was located. Thomas Inks and Jackson Wollverton were the first merchants in Wak- arusa. The Lutherans built the first church. The first public school was erected about 1856. Wakarusa has for a half century been the principal center of Olive Township. During the greater part of this period it has not had railroad advantages but has simply existed as the country town The twentieth century Wakarusa affords attractions as a place of residence or a place of business. Q A Wakarusa has many business places today. It has three banks, one of which is a First National Bank with a capital of 9525,000. The farmers in the near vicinity have organized a Corporative Creamery. 315,000 worth of stock were sold at S10 each. Both corporations are a remark- able success and a boost to the city. Among the other business places are, two drug stores, three general merchandise stores, three harness and buggy shops, two hardware stores, two shoe shops, one electric shop, one bakery, two millinery shops, two blackmith shops, one cafe, four garages two furniture stores, one printing shop, one machine shop, one pool room one fiour mill, ladder factory and saw mill. 3 9 Wakarusa has a third class Post Office. The postmaster being Mr. Vern Hahn. There are three rural delivery routes from Wakarusa. Wakarusa is a religious town, having five churches. The Brethern on Wabash Ave., is under Rev. Metzler, the M. B. C., on West Waterford, is under Rev. Fleicher, the Christian on East Waterford, under Rev. Fraiz- er, the Methodist, on South Elkhart, under Rev. Smith, and Beulah Chapel under Rev. Kauffman. 1 7 Seven oar Education BOYD STAUFFER J. B. LEONARD CALVIN LEINHART President Treasurer Secretary Eight FACULTY Superintendent C. E. SUNTHIMER, A. B.

But with times and customs changing And with ever something new ' To judge another's future Is quite hard for me to do. Being some account of the foretold destinies of the class of '20, Wakarusa High School, Wakarusa, Indiana. Several weeks ago while strolling through the streets of Hong Kong I was attracted by an unusually large sign hanging on the side of an old tumble down shack on the opposite side of the street. Approaching it I read as follows, Let J inks, the greatest fortune teller of the modern age open up your future before you like a book. This now, is truly a blessing to humanity. He has solved millions in the past. Come in: Know your future success or failures. Be wise, price only 351.00 Cone dollarlf' It occured to me that I should like very much to know the destiny of the Senior class of 1920, although I was satisfied that it would win an il- lustrious name in the future, so Iboldly opened the ponderous door and entered. Before me sat a grizzled sage, with a very large head, ,and beard reaching nearly to his feet. My good sir, said I kindly, tell me the future for the members of the Senior class of '20, which is composed of 21 honorable boys and girls who live in and around Wakarusa, Indiana. The old gentelman produced from his coat a large green glass, winked at it once or twice and gave a great gasp and said, my son, 1 look far into the future with eyes that see all things and I will tell you what I observe, concerning your class and yourself. Then he nodded his head as if in a dream and said: Far in the distance I see a young man whose name I believe is Nelson Holdeman, crashing through the jungles of Africa, lions tigers, and ele- phants alike fall before his unering Winchester, but he falls in love with a native princess named Haremscarem. I know not becomes of him, as he never returns. I also see his friend, Albert Herrington looming high above a vast audience of hoboes commenting on the value of a five year course in High School which has enabled him to become President of the Hoboes' Federa- tion. I now see back in the village of Wakarusa, Herbert Sailor, proprietor of the Fair Store. He is living a happy life with his beloved wife, who was formerly, Maude Hoover. Also in this village I behold two old maids, living in a small weather beaten cottage. They are honorable and respectable to be sure, but the Twenty-four beauty of Florence Strope and Treva Hahn has greatly diminished since their youthful days. The scene now shifts to India, there I see Edwin Weaver, now a great missionary, who with his good wife, Fern Hunsberger, have accomplished great things in educating the heathen. I now see a beautiful church in Rio De J aniro. This church is very fortunate as having for their minister, so great a man as the Rev. Emmert Roose. D. D. Now I see in Honolulu the office of a great Chriopractor. This is the ofiice desk is seated his noble wife, Joyce Garberich. ian Islands for his great power of curing the Hawaiian malady. At his office desk is seated his noble wife, Joyce Garbrich. Now, what is it that I behold, Oh yes! A great sign protruding from one of the largest offices in Chicago. All kinds of head trouble cured, such as Enlarged Skull, Water on the Brain, Girl on the Brain. Won- derful new treatments, astounding results. lf you trust me, 1 ll trust you. Welcome! Come in. E. C. Chokey M. D. I now see the vast interior of Chicago's largest threatre packed with an expectant throng. As the curtain rises a great cheer rings forth from the audience, before them stands the world's greatest bass soloist, Linfred Letherman, As the curtain rises for the next act, the audience is again thrilled as they see the greatest American dancer, Mrs. Linfred Letherman, formerly Estella Myers. ' I also see on the streets of this city, a small man who follows the dig- nified profession of an organ grinder. He is known by the name of Shorty Metz, his real name as is known by few is Elmer Metzler. In the Jewish district of this city, I see a sign hanging from a small Window which says, Highest Prices Pair for Furs. W. W. Wenger. At his office desk I see his faithful sister, Amanda, who has consented to stay by him until he makes his million, Now I see seated at a table in Congress, another of your classmates. He is filling the position as Secretary of Agriculture. He has long been known as America's Corn King, and has now reached his goal. His name as is known by the world, is John Birk. ln a large car outside of the White House I see his wife and seven children, l think his wife was formerly Esther Beehler. Now I see a large country estate in Long Island, where resides Joyce Lehman, wealthy lawyer and politician. With this the old man raised his head and looked at me. He suddenly nodded his head as in a trance and said, My son, I see in southern California a large mansion behind which is an enormous fire- proof garage filled with America's fire fastest racing cars all of which be- long to you, won by your supernatural ability at the steering wheel. As these last words were spoken the old man again raised his head and said, ah, the vision is past as the day that is gone. Being very well satisfied with the future of this wonderful calss of '20 I arose, left the building and hurried on my Way. Glenn E. Roeder '20 Twenty-five 111' 1355 Our class is seventeen plus four. We're loyal, brave, and true, And wefre the sages of the W. H. S., Great in fame and knowledge. First upon our roll you'll find, One to a farmer's life inclined Elmer say's his life holds no cheer For him without Bernita dear. Estella, so I hear, Is only in her seventeen year. Great brains has she for one so young. Far and wide her praises will be sung. Herbert our president we see, A man of force and strength will be. r Florence is learned, and wise, Her wisdom will surely take a prize. Emmert of a bashful mein, With vivid blush so often seen. Albert with countenance gay, Looks real wise and bluffs his way Treva is mischievous, but always kind, Where'er she goes, our Daisy you'll always find. Adam desires to do his very best, Don't be disappointed when effort is put to test. Glen holds the highest place, High in all our learned grace. Amanda is successful in what'er she tries, She should be happy and merry likewise. Ernest, 'too appears in our class, Interested is he in a Wakarusa lass. Fern is a gay bright lass, It's a wonder she isn't at the head of the class. Warren, Edwin and John, are country swain, Interested are they in cattle and grain. For Nelson it seems a waste, But gay times for those who taste. There's Maud, Esther, Linfred and Joyce too, Who, to the W. H. S. will always be true. Joy Marie now appears, Who vows that in later years, A millionaire intends to wed, And in luxury will be led. Now my tale is almost thru, - The tale of the class seventeen plus four, To new joys and sorrows our faces We turn But for old Wakarusa High we'l1 ever learn.

Everyone had a wonder- ful time, but a few of them got restless and motored to Elkhart. T'he party was chaperoned by Miss Knisley. Oct. 29th the Seniors were entertained at the home of Florence Strope. Everyone felt real peppy, and we had a regular time, Games and contests were features of the evening, but no one could beat Adam eating ice cream. March 8, half of the Senior class went to Elkhart, to have their pic- tures tooken. This seemed to be the least of their worries however, because-well, they have shows 'n everything in Elkhart and they didn't get home until six o'clock. March 9. The remainder of the class went to Elkhart for the same purpose. The facutly profited by past mistakes and sent a teacher along. As a consequence they arrived in time for the afternoon classes.

Their ball team was settled down in battle array to clean up their rival gang in a champeen game. Each little urchin, intent, silent, agressive, on his toes, ready to do or die in the sacred cause of his team, shouted occasional Words of encourage- ment to the sturdy little tad who was pitching- Stick it over, Red! Stick it over! And Red was doing his darndest. With all his little might and main, every nerve, muscle and brain cell in his little body--it seemed every red hair on his touseled head-were working in unison to stick it over. Over it went, too. The side retired-three runners were kept from scor- ing-the team's ability was proven. If some of the grown-ups would use all they had-they could Stick it over, too. We wish to thank the advertisers in this issue of Le Meilleur, be- cause they are men who helped us stick it over. Every one of them is worthy of your confidence and every one of them should receive a share of your patronage. Remember, that whatever you do for Wakarusa and her supporters, you do for the Wakarusa High School. 1t's your school. Help it along. Advertisers in other towns and cities have confidence in Wakarusa and her various industries, you, too, should have confidence in the old town. Twenty-nine T e Purple And The old Although our school is not so large, Although the building's oldg Yet in our hearts We'll always love The purple and the gold. In basket ball, in track and all, No game Was ever soldg For we were fighting to uphold The purple and the gold. In every Week, in every day, Great things were often toldg How our team had won honors for The purple and the gold. Then when we've left and school is o'er, In memory still We holdg The good old days when We were with, The purple and the gold. Then when the building's down and gone, And years of time have rolled, Still in our hearts the same old love The purple and the gold. Herbert E.

I Thirty-one X The American Flag In the early days, the American Colonies used the standard English flag which was the cross of St. George. The flags in different parts of the country varied in color, it being sufficient if the ground and the cross differed. Naturally as the relations between England and her colonies became more hostile, the colonies desired a different flag. Several differ- ent kinds of flags were used. At Cambridge, Mass., on January 2, 1776, Washington displayed a flag which was designed by Franklin Lynch and Harrison. It consisted of thirteen red and white stripes with the Union Jack in place of the stars. The rattlesnake flag was often used, the snake, with thirteen rattles, being coiled to strike with the motto, Don't tread on me. No official action was taken with regard to a national fiag until June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress passed a resolution, that the fiag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternating red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. The origin of this design is not exactly known but is thought that it was taken from the coat-of-arms of the Washington fam- ily. D Paul Jones was the first man to raise the new flag over a naval vessel. It was first used on land at Fort Stanwix on August 6, 1777. When Vermont and Kentucky came into the Union, Congress voted to have the number of stars and stripes increased to fifteen. However, when the number of states increased to twenty, Congress voted to change the number of stripes, to typify the original thirteen colonies and that on the admission of a new state a new star should be placed in the blue field on the succeeding fourth of July. Congress did not provide for an ar- rangement of the stars hence much argument has arisen concerning it. Today the American Flag has been carried to almost every part of the globe. It was first carried around the world by an American steam- ship in 1844. It was first displayed in Japan at the landing of Peary's narty in the Bay of Yeddo in 1853. ln 1871 it was carried into the inter- ior of Africa by the Henry M. Stanley expedition. ln 1877 it was un- furled for the first time in the far interior of China. ln 1909 is was un- fnrled at the North Pole by Peary. In 1917 it was displayed on the Eur- opean battlefield for the first time by the American Expeditionary Forces in France. The thirteen stripes bring to our memory the thirteen colonies which so nobly struggled that this flag might be. The forty-eight stars bound by blue represent the forty-eight states bound together by the Union. We should proudly say, I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the country for which-it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Fern Hunsberger '20 Thirty-two H otorious Bills' His beard was red, his features coarse, a large mustache, yes there was his picture and description below. But, would he look like that now 'K One thing sure, he was very fond of whistling Yankee Doodle. Puzzled and anxious sat Connie Morgan in the office of the Mounted Police. That morning a warrant had bee issued for the arrest of Notorious Bill. He was known to be in that section of the country. Connie threw fl0VVY'l the pictures and papers with a noise that made the sergeant straighten. l Well, my boy, What's up, queried the sergeant, pen in mouth from his work in the corner. Just this, said Connie. I may be young and a green-horn, and all that, but you've just got to let me go, too. You sent all the others out in the mountains on duty. Here I sit, nothing to do. Well, my boy, consoled the sergeant, if you're anxious for a little excitement get your canoe, travel up the river and leave that bunch of trinkets with that bunch of 'Red Skins? Connie saluted, and shufiied out to do as the sergeant had ordered, but not in the least satisfied. The bundle was delivered safely. Skimming along about dusk, on his homeward journey, he drew in his oar in alarm. There on the bank was a man leaning over the fire with a frying pan. He was whistling Yankee Doodle, Was he? Sure enough, but hearing a ripple the man stopped short and looked up with a start. Seeing it was only a mere boy, he heaved a sigh of relief, and yelled Hello there, kid. Hello yourself, called back Connie. In drawing up his canoe, Connie mused, could this be him. Did he elude all those experienced me up in the mountain passes 'I But surely he was whistling Yankee Doodle. 'T Are you particular who you bunk with? The man's words startled Connie from his reverie. No, not in the least, answered Connie with a twinkle in his boyish voice. After a meal of bacon and flap jacks, during which neither of them spoke a word, they lit their pipes and made themselves comfortable by the fire. The stranger broke the silence. Well, kid, what rings you in this section of these God forsaken hills? Connie, taking his pipe from his mouth, answered slowly. They say there is a man named 'Notorious Bill,' in these parts, a more theiving and dirty coward never seen. Since all the officers are in search of him, I was the only one left to take a bundle of trinkets to a tribe of 'Greased Skins,' up the river. Well, do you expect they'll get him ? queried the stranger amid puffs of smoke. I sure do, laughed Connie, cheering up. Would you know him if you saw him ? asked the stranger. Thirty-three You bet I would. I'd know him the minute I laid eyes on him, said Connie convincingly. The stranger's chin lowered, followed with a laugh and ended with a chuckle. Well, kid, would you object to me going along down the river with you, I'd like to visit the station. I'm well acquainted in these parts. Connie nodded his consent. Well, it's time we're turning in then Kid, if we aim to get an early start in the morning. I Both wrapped up in blankets and soon Connie heard the stranger snoring. Long he lay thinking deeply. Didn't he hear the sergeant. say how slick he was, riding down river with the mounted police themselves and later sending them a letter thanking them for the lift. Surely. he heard him whistle Yankee Doodle. Amid these troubled thoughts he fell asleep. ' When he opened his eyes he saw the stranger up and breakfast ready to eat. Not much was said. Breakfast over, the trip for the station began. The current was with them and the trip was made in record time. It was mid-day when the two stepped out of the canoe and started the short walk to the station. The sergeant looked up in surprise as Connie and his companion closed the door behind them. Well, my boy I see I'll have to promote you, said the sergeant. Just then the door opened and in came Joe and others of the force. That 'Notorious Bill,' sure is a slick one, we've searched every spot in those old hills but narry a glimpse of him did we get. The stranger chuckled unobserved to himself in the corner of the room. Soon others came in with the same results. Connie has stood un- observed since his entrance until now. He stepped forward and said: After this excitement has quited, I've got a companion I want to in- troducef' The stranger came forward with outstretched hand toward the serg- geant. Sergeant and superior ofiicers, I introduce to you, a slight pause, Mr, Notorious Bill. The stranger shook with excitement and bolted for the door. But out of confusion he was brought forward and handcuffed, walking up to the sergeant, he said, Well I guess the game's up. This kid got the slip on me this time. But say kid how did you work it when I fooled the rest of these men ? Connie heaved out his chest and answered, the trouble was, when l told you up the river I'd know 'Notorious Bill,' if I saw him, you wouldn't believe me. C Adam Mollenhour '20, Thirty-four e ourage That Never Dies The final day had come, It was the day of the big race, advertised and known as the biggest 100 mile race in the history of the game, which was to be driven on a small one-mile track, where nerve, courage and luck determine the outcome. Shorty McCabe had been having tough luck. The public had forgot- ten that at one time he was crowned Speed King. They had also for- gotten that he still had the same courage and nerve that he had in the season of 1914, when he received those honors. The public were all bet- ting against him which alone was enough to discourage him but no. lt only made him more determined to win although his last dollar had been spent to buy supplies to carry him through the race, not leaving a single S5 dollar bill to bet on himself. As the time was nearing to start, all the drivers were out on the track Warming their motors and putting on the finishing touches in the way of minor adjustments, but alas poor Shorty had to save some gasoline and while the others were on the track he had to stay in the poorly arranged pit and prepare, and prepare he did. He restudied the track. He worked out a new curve which would enable him to gain on his opponents. The cannon shot and all cars were in their places instantly, with the exception of McCabe, who leisurely gave his car a iinal inspection, crawled in and took his place in the rear line. No sooner had he reached his place than the race was on. The iirst 25 miles found Shorty in the rear. At the end of 50 miles he was work- ing harder and had overcome four of his six opponents. The public be- gan to wonder but still said, No chances for McCabe. His opponents were the favorites and were driving nearly even about three-fourths mile ahead of him. The race went on, 75 miles had been made and he had not gained a rod. Now it was on the final and McCabe knew that he must drive these last miles as he never drove before. He knew that these last miles determined his future and it must be success. He began driving his car wide open around the curves meaning a slide of twice the length of his car. He also knew that this had caused deaths. He knew that it was racking to the frame of his car but he had to win. At the end of 95 of the 100 miles he was driving second place with only a 100 yards to gain on his last opponent, but how could he do this. His opponent was not slowing for curves either and his car was as fast as McCabe's. There was only one thing left to do, that was to drive on the inner track and take chances of sliding around the curves rather than driv- ing the outside track as was his opponent and cutting the curves. McCabe knew that this method had caused may deaths but he was willing to take a chance. He followed this method and at the end of four miles he was even with his opponent. The crowd cheered and some even swore, Now they were driving even with only one more mile to go. They were driving wild with Thirty-five only one more curve to make and only one-half mile to win. Neither driver slowed for the curve, but luck had been against McCabe. Could he drive around the inner circle and let the near end of his car slide around the curve sooner than his opponent could drive the outside and cut in. This was a question, but he would try. He tried and succeeded, this gave him just the length of his car ahead of his opponent. Twenty-eight sec- onds more and it all would be over. The crowd was wild with excitement as that death daring feat was accomplished., Ah, the time was up and Shorty McCabe sped under the wire to vic- tory. . He stopped his car as soon as possible, returned, saluted the audience and returned to his car, winner of the fastest 100 mile race ever driven in America. Glenn E.

That morning her father had told him, Told him that it could never be: For Andrew to marry his daughter, His beautiful Mandy Maree. Then Andrew returned to his Mandy, And told her in words without life g How her father had cruelly told him They never could be man and wife. Then plotted those two that morning, How at two o'clock that night, He would whistle beneath her window And then they would make their flight. Now Andrew had whistled real softly, But alas-the Bull dog had heard, And Andrew was was checked in the middle Of speaking a wonderful word. With a leap and a bound he arose from the ground, And ran ten miles so they sayg While poor Mandy in tears for two or three years, On the bed in a crumpled heap lay. Herbert E. Sailor. Thirty-six W hat Determination Can Do Father, said Dick Smith, as they were going to the house, I would like to go to high school this fall. You don't need to feel too sure that you'll get to go, was his father's answer, as though that settled the matter. But Dick felt sure that when fall came that his father would consent to let him go. It was spring and they had nearly finished the early spring work. Dick had taken the county examination and had graduated from the pub- lic schools. His father declared that he had had enough of this foolish- ness and that he need not build his hopes too high on going to high school. Therefore Dick thought it best to let the matter rest until he found a good opportunity to mention the subject again. The opportunity came one evening in August. His father was sit- ting on the porch, resting after a hard day's work in the harvest field. Father, have you decided to let me go to school this fall? asked Dick. I haven't lost much sleep trying to decide, answered his father, will you ever be satisfied to stay at home? l gave you an answer last spring and I should think that would be enough to satisfy you. I can learn much in the four years of high school course that will be of great help on the farm. I can get many new ideas and methods that will aid in lessening farm work. When I have had a good education 1 will be glad to stay at home answered Dick. You can learn many things that will help you, I know, but you might get some habits that would hinder you. The school life in town might draw you away from the farm and you would never come back. Many boys who go to high school never return to the farm, said his father. I do not need to acquire any bad habits if I say no to ,all things that might harm meg besides all boys who go to high school do not leave the farm and I would be among the number to return, Dick answered. Well, said his father, we can tell better in the morning. And he will say I may go! said Dick happily to himself as he went into the house. And his father did tell him he could go. Dick entered high school in a very large class. Many dropped out in the four years that Dick went to school. While some of his classmates were idling away their time, Dick was eagerly studying that he might prove what he had told his father. At last graduating day came and Dick, true to his promise, returned to the farm. Vinna Bowers.

Null, Norris Shirk, Gleta B. Schwalm, Alice Scoles, Carlyle Wagner, Elisie Weldy, Orlie Wilson, Huber Yoder, Hattie Yoder, Warren Pierce, and Estella Culp. While we were Freshmen, we organized our class with the following officers: Keith Frash, President, Walter Lechlitner, Vice President, Ethel Hartman, Secretary and Treasurer. Bernita Morris invited the class to a party at the home of William Mishler. At the beginning of the second year we again returned considerable less in number. Clarence Birk, Ethel Hartman, Estella Culp, Alice Scoles and Carlyle Wagner considered themselves too for advanced for W. H. S. Russel Holdeman, due to his lameness could not keep up with the rest of the class. Warren Pierce joined the army, but we welcomed Miss Mildred Hahn to our class. We elected new officers, Edward Chokey as President and Bernita Morris, Secretary and Treasurer. Gleta Schwalm entertained the class at her home in November , 1917. A delightful evening was spent. I g At the beginning of the Junior year, we were disappointed at the de- parture of Orlie Wilson, but welcomed another newcomer, Devon Troxel. We again elected officers, reelecting Edward Chokey, President and Mildred Hahn, Secretary and Treasurer. In the year 1921 we are expecting to receive our diplomas and depart from High School and enter upon life's duties. ' Gleta Schwalm, '21.

Forty-two Sophomore ass History One beautiful day in the year, A1918 we, as timid Freshmen, entered W. H. S., intent on fitting ourselves for active life. Our class was soon organized and the following officers were elected: President, Charles Lech- litnerg Vice President, Theodore Lehman: Secretary, Mary Gandy. We selected purple and white as class colors. Our pennant is the largest one in the High School. Our teachers were, Miss Werntz, Miss Byler, Miss Warye, Mr. Rheu- bottom and Mr. Doyle. ' This year we returned as Sophomores with a greater determination to do our best. We had the good fortune of retaining our former teacher, Miss Werntz, Several programmes were rendered by the Senior-Sophomore society. Some interesting features were the debates. We had several good parties which were well attended. The entertaining committees did their best to make them a success. Several of the boys have been interested in basket ballghaving won most of the games they played, they have gained honor and good reputa- tion. Virgil Sailor is considered the best player. Their enthusiasm for basket ball has now somewhat abated but they wish to take up base ball this summer. Besides ball players we have several artists. Mary Gandy, Grace Holdeman and Morton Clements discontinued their education here, while Charles Lechlitner our best student passed away. The members of the Sophomore who participated in the Freshmen-Soph- omore play were: Theodore Lehman, Remis Doering, Florence Hahn and Laveta Berkey. They proved to be talented actors. In spite of the death of Charles, who was one of the characters, the play was a success. Some of the boys wish to take part in the track meet this spring. Although this is our second year, the writer realizes that we are just beginning and that there are still very many things to learn.

Forty-six Freshman Class History September 8, 1919 there were twenty-six students ready to accept the name of Freshmen. Of course we were all shy and not a little abashed at the taunts of the Sophomores. At last some one plucked up enough courage to call a class meeting. We elected Levon Holdeman, President, Maxine Freed, Vice President, Luree Fisher, Secretary and Treasurer. We choose ash and old rose for our class colors. My, the Sophomores were jealous when our beautiful pennant was hung on the wall. .x , We were sorry to lose, early in the year, Vernon Neterer. Later George Davidhiseh left and Beatrice Mollenhour moved away, We now number twenty-three. Feb. 27, 1920 is a day long to be remembered in the history of our class. It was the time the Freshmen showed the upper classmen what they could do. We gave a splendid program consuming forty minutes, ex- tra, of very' valuable time during which We should have been struggling with an English test. ' One of our number, Mary Parcell, played on the girls' iirst team of basket ball and another, Milo Stump, played on the baseball team. Miss Maxine Freed entertained the Freshman class at her home, Dec., 16, 1919. All present had a good time. We also planned a surprise on Beatrice Mollenhour, but because of bad Weather and the distance only a few were present. Luree Fisher, Beatrice Mollenhour, Milo Stump and Alberta Hartman, were in the Freshman-Sophomore play, given March 12 and 13, which proved Qccessful.

Our number surprised the upper classmen as well as the faculty. The first few days of school were enjoyed very much and we thought that we were having the time of our lives, but when the instructors began passing out the Latin, German and Algebra, we sobered up and realized what was before us. The upper classmen called us Freshies and all the names that go with it, but on account of our large number they were a little shy in giving us the Freshman Degree. The first semester examinations came and a few became tired of their life and left school, until there were twenty-nine of us left. The second year was a great one for us and our number was twenty- eight. We entered athletics and held our place among the other classes. From this elevated position we looked forward to the next year. We entered our third, or Junior year, full of ginger and pep and ready to do anything that would bring us praise and honor. This year we took advantage of our position and showed no mercy toward the Freshmen. During this year one more joined our class and two left it. Again we came back to fight the battle of another year. With one more in our class, making a total of twenty-three Seniors. This year was a busy one. We raised the standards of our High School and accomplished more than any other class ever did. Death called two of our class members during 1920 and the class will graduate with a membership of twenty-one. Ernest J. Chokey '20 Forty-nine Looking' Forward The battle's won, the victory gained, For the Nineteen Twenty Classy Rejoicing that we have attained, We now the portals pass. We have towered every mountain, We've reached the lofty height, We have tasted of the fountain, We're ready for the fight. Four years We spent together here, For purposes sublime, We've stood for valor without fear, To the top we strove to climb. The mountains have all vanished now, Like fogs by the sun's rays, In memory still we hold the joys, And will thru future days. Our hopes are high, our courage strong, As we enter on life's course, We'll part our strength against the wrong, With a firm and mighty force. We've won the day, Oh, glorious day! So let the colors fly, The rising sun sails o'er our way, Long dreamed of hopes are nigh.

The Home Economics Department in the High School aims to make worthy home makers in the future and this can only be accomplished through the close co-operation of the home and the school. Domestic Science includes problems pertaining to selection, produc- tion, preparation and serving of foods, involving a study of cooking, serv- ing, gardening and marketing. Domestic Art includes cleaning, repairing, and making of clothing involving a study of sewing, laundrying, millinery and the like. Home Economics also includes other problems that every girl who must take care of a home should know, such as, sanitation, personal and home hygeine, iirst aid to the injured, home nursing, best devices for cleaning and sweeping, and the care of furniture, floors, bedrooms and rugs. Fifty-eight The girls of today are rapidly awakening to the fact that there is a life to live and a work to do. They are no longer parasites who require servants to wait upon them. We have the right to get the most out of life and that comes only through giving the world the best that we have to give. Real education prepares the student's mind to solve the prob- Iems that life brings out. It should therefore be the aim of the Home Economics Department to adjust the course so it will broaden the intellectual outlook of all girls so that they may better adjust themselves to their positions as repons- ible citizen in their community. The class in Domestic Science this year took up food study and cook- ing. Many interesting experiments were performed. In food study we took up milk and the manufacture of cheese and other products. We also wrote a composition on Corn in our food study. The work in Domestic Art has been very interesting. Some of the articles which were made were blouses, underwear, aprons and house- dresses, which were very easy and simple to make. The textiles, cotton, linen, wool and silk were studied. Then design- ing was taken up. Many stitches and seams were made and put in our note books, also a selection of cotton samples. Miss Knisley has been very patient with her class of girls and it is largely due to her help that so much was accomplished. Vinna Bowers '23 Manua.l Training Department At the beginning of the school year thirteen Freshmen, three Juniors, and thirteen graders entered this department. The graders recite two periods every Friday and the Juniors and Freshmen recite two periods every day. One credit is given for each semester's work. , The interest shown by the boys can be seen by the number and quality of projects built. The equipment was very poor at the beginning of the year, we did not have enough hammers, vises, saws etc. A few hammers, chisels, saws, and a new plow were purchased. But our equipment is not complete. We lack good benches, turning lathes, band saws, planes, and other machin- ery. If we had some of these articles we could do far better work than we do. Many different projects were made. The following is a list of art- Fifty-nine C E. Sunthimer, Superintendent. Maynard Metzler, Raymond Huffman, Huber Yoder, Maynard Weldy, Norris Shirk, Alvin Shank, Carl Christophel, John Rohr, Manford Davidhiser, Milo Stump, LeVon Holdeman, Forrest Herrington. icles built by the graders and high school students. 72 pedestals, five study tables, eight porch swings, four library tables, one kitchen table. Many other articles were made such as book racks, tie racks, desk lamps, rabbit pens, flower boxes, etc. Hot glue was used on all tables, in making tops and fastening joints. The lumber was stored on a rack built by one of the boys. We used oak, walnut, pine, cypress, cherry and bird'seye maple. Our instructor kept a record of articles made and costs. The cost of an article was found by figuring so much per foot and one-fourth of that amount for waste. Anyone could pick up waste lumber and use it without paying for it. The total amount of money paid to Mr. Sunthimer was 3117.87. The highest amount paid by one person was 317.43. The average amount paid by each person was 33.72. 3110.00 paid to the Walter Lumber Co. Outside of our regular work we built hurdles for track work, tennis court and put bleechers in the basket ball hall. Though we were handicapped by lack of tools, our projects were good. 27 pedestals, one kitchen table, one library table, and two porch swings, were built for families not represented in this department. We must give much credit to our instructor, Mr. C. E. Sunthimer. This report covers work between September 9, 1919 and March 16, 1920. Huber Yoder, '21. Sixty ATHLETICS fo-A .

Adam Mollenhour The Wakarusa High School Athletic Association is reorganized each year, for the purpose of promoting Athletics in the High School. By be- ing a member of the State Association, the school is entitled to play all other High Schools belonging to that association, in any form of athletics which may be arranged between the' schools. In the beginning of the year there were no funds in the treasury, and steps had to be taken in order to obtain money. Members of the associa- tion were charged a fee of 25 cents per semester. 42 boys and 19 girls joined this association and those who were not players were admitted to all High School games for fifteen cents. Another source of obtaining money was through a box social, given at the beginning of the first semes- ter. Although the funds were very low at times and conditions very un- favorable we succeeded in our organization by much pluck and work. Other sources of obtaining money were through a play given by the Soph- omore and Freshman classes and an attempt with a lecture course which proved a failure, as far as finances were concerned. Many pupils joined the association, merely for the purpose of boost- ing athletics and the school. This shows the right kind of spirit among the students. At several times during the year meetings were called for various reasons. Matters such as finances, rooting, etc., were discussed The constitution of last year was read and adopted at the beginning of the term with no new amendments or corrections. This Athletic As- sociation is one of the most important and essential societies in the High School. 0 Basket Ball Basket Ball at Wakarusa, for the last couple of years has been the most interesting and popular sport with the town as well as the High School. The game was first played here four years ago, when Mr. John Eshleman organized the first High School team. Since that time, it has gained in popularity until now it is the main sport in the High School. The team each year has been handicapped by the small court they are compelled to play in. At other places the courts are usually larger and being used to a small court our boys are seriously handicapped. Never discouraged, they make up for this in speed and accurate passing, thus, often winning against odds. Sixty-two TOP ROW-C. E. Sunthimer, Mgr. Edward Strope, Coach. MIDDLE ROW-Paul Christner, Ernest Chokey, Keith Frash. LOWER ROW-Virgil Sailor, Adam Mollenhour, Emmert Roose, Nelson Holdeman, Herbert Sailor. In the many games of the season, probably the most interesting are those with Nappanee, because of the friendly spirit of rivalry between the two schools. We hope that in the near future, Wakarusa can have a large Basket Ball court and give her atheletes a better chance to show what they can do. Starting with one regular team composed of men from last year, our team worked into probably the best Basket Ball team Wakarusa High School has ever had. Because of the size of the players, not much was expected of them this year. However, they made up for this in speed and team work. The tallest man on the team was about 5 ft. 7 in., and the average weight about 140 lbs. Believing that the larger they are, the harder they fall the team went into the game and proved this adage, being outweighed in every game this season but two or three. Much credit is due Mr. Strope, four coachl for his patience and time spent in developing the team. All of the Iirst team this year, were Seniors, with the exception of Bob, so practically a new team will have to be developed next year. Sxty-three We were not able to play all our games this season, because of bad roads and sickness. Because of bad roads, the game with Goshen, was cancelled and because of sickness, games with Argos, LaPaz and Syracuse were cancelled. A 1.7-..0? , PERSONAL Mollenhour, CCapt.J, G. The only man on the team who played last year. He is in his Senior year and is a very fast and clever Guard, always snappy and full of pep in a game. Holdeman, G. A man who never lets his man get by with the pill. Ab gets hard boiled with em' if they start anything. He is also a Senior and he and Mollenhour will be greatly missed. Roose C.

Bob, the fastest man on the team can't be beat on all around team work and Basket Ball shooting. He is a sophie and lays 'em in the net from any where on the court. H. Sailor, F.

Some battle, eh? Nap didn't know whether she was going or coming. Well, gang, what do you say? We're go- in' to win that's all. were the words of Capt. Mollenhour to his bat- tling squad before the game with Nap last Friday night. As a starter, our second team battled Nap's second team, in a fight to a finish, losing to Nap by a small margin. Doering and Martin scoring for the home team, while Wilt and Pepper scored for Nap. Christner, Eby and Chokey were there with the goods that made Nap hustle. These boys should be complimented for the support they gave us. We wish others might do so, and help drill our first team. Come out. Your turn comes next. The first game being a starter to get our crowd in and seated, we were off in a whirl when Mollenhour brought out the invincible and the refer- ee's whistle called us to our task of trimming Nap. LINE-UP Wakarusa Nappanee Roose Tobias Holdeman Shaung Mollenhour QCapt.J Miller H. Sailor Messner V. Sailor Beck Frash Pippin Christner Wysong Chokey Roseburgh The game was started with a crash and a smash. Nap's speed and trick plays were soon broken into and busted up. Her superiority and over confidence in herself gave way under the peltering attack of Roose, Sailor and Sailor, and the relentless defense of Mollenhour and Holdeman. We were well into the game when Roose dropped that leather coated pill through the net, which just got Nap's goat a little. It seemed that Ab knew where they had it tied and let her loose, passing to Herbert Sailor, who plunged her home for 2 more points for the W. H. S. It then looked like a shutout for Nap in the first half, but their star Miller, dropped the pill through the net in the final wind-up of the first half. We felt very good and no doubt Nap did too but in her madness was determination, for she was so determined to trim us that it became very exciting during the intermission. Before. you could hardly think and rest up. that referee sounded the Whistle to start us off on the final wind-up. No sooner said than done, and that old pill was, as if by magic, leaping to and fro from Roose to Sailor to Sailor, and Nap didn't know were it was until Virgil passed to Roose and then played for position and received from Roose, only to score another basket for Wakarusa. In the next toss-up Nap was at us harder than ever, and to our sur- prise rolled in two more points by Miller, and again 2 more by Shaung. Now, says Happy to Ab, Let's eat 'em up. Into them gang, and Sixty-six did it help? Why, yes Roose just nabbed that pill and straight up and over the top into that basket again for two points. Then hurrah. Nap now began to tighten up and shoot from anywhere and everywhere, nearly scoring at two different times. Frash was then called into the game to replace Roose, who had gal- lantly fought the opponents to a finish, and Nap run in Rosebrush in an eHort to defeat us. Both these men scored a basket for their respective teams. We realized that Nap was after us hard, when as if from some unknown place, came that pill and after making several attempts at fall- ing through the net, finally did fall through, pulling the score 10 to 10. You just ought to have seen Nap paw the earth. But alas! Bobbie, our hero, dropped the pill through from the free throw line and the time- ke-eper's watch said stop and so ended the game in what some might say a close rub, 10 to 11, in favor of Wakarusa. It hurts worse to lose just one point than several. We admire Nap's playing. Both teams played clean ball. Their at- titude was good. Nap took her defeat like a man, Waka the victory the the same. Let us here as a town pull for our team and show the boys we are with them, work up team spirit, team work and not individual player, for that never gets us anywhere. I'm for team, you're for team, we're all for team. What do you say, Team! Team! Team! We thank our patrons, Basket Ball fans, and all for your loyal support. Let's do it again. Where?

A court was placed on the east side of the school building and many students became enthusiastic over the game. This sport is also new here, but so far is very popular among the classes, especially girls. The man- ual training boys helped very much in scuffing the sod and preparing the tennis court. T0 -. Football For several years football has not been played at the High School, al- though in 1909 Wakarusa had the strongest football team in this part of the state Winning from nearly every team around. They were beaten one game by Mich., where a number of college preps were run in on them. One reason for not having a team this year was because of the size of the boys. Probably the lightest bunch of boys ever in athletics at Wakar- usa High are in school this year which accounts for not having a football team.

Seventy The girls for some unknown reason lost interest in Basket Ball for a couple school terms. This year they took it up again with a new enthus- iasm. Although the girls were all new at Basket Ball they won live of eight games that were played. They were handicapped this year on account of practice hours and the few girls who came out to practice. Much credit must be given to Mr. Strope, the coach, under whose eiiicient management the girls' team has been quite successful. Treva Hahn '20, 01...

Seventy-one Baseball At Wakarusa The High School for the past four years has not taken an active part in baseball. Because of basket ball and its popularity among the stu- dents no great interest was taken in the game until the arrival of Mr. Sunthimer. Last fall he organized a Baseball team but not many came out for practice. However several games were played and although we did not have very great success the desire for a team in the spring was shown.

Last year just before the meet at Goshen several of the boys practiced once or twice and attended the meet winning third place for the school. This coupled with the coming of Mr. Sunthimer has created a desire for enter- ing this kind of sport. The school has some very promising material and several of the boys who won events at Goshen last year are still with us. A determination to win the meet this year has entered the heads of sev- eral and if the weather permits we are going to do it. Last year six different schools were represented at Goshen. Water- ford, Bristol, Middlebury, Millersburg, Shipshewana and Wakarusa. Des- pite the fact that most of the schools had girl entries Qtheir points count- ing as well as the boysj Wakarusa which none, won third place. At this year's meet, the points of the boys are separate and go toward determining the winning school. Seventy-three enior lass Play The Senior Class play, An American Hustler, was given at the Town Hall, Wakarusa, on the nights of April 21, 22 and 24. The play was a most successful one and many favorable comments were heard from all sides. In fact, it was spoken of, as the best play ever given in Wakarusa. The Senior class feels very grateful for the fine patronage given the play and for the many kind words spoken in behalf of the Class members. Joyce Lehman as Major Bob, an American Hustler, interpreted his part with all the expression of an old timer on the stage. His lines were well spoken and his close attention to details added much to the success of the play. Albert Herrington, who took the part of Francis Rawden, the Pro- fessional Gambler, did his part so well that even members of the cast got sore and expressed their dislikes for him. His part was an exceptionally difficult one, but was handled nicely. Herbert Sailor, the Young Miner of Paradise in Hard Luck, carried his share of the successful production in a manner which brought much favorable comment. Adam Mollenhour, Glen Roeder and Nelson Holdeman, who acted the parts of A Miner Who Doesn't Mine in' Paradise, A Prosperous Chicago Lawyer, and Clerk in the Law Office, added to the enjoyment of the ev- ening. Florence Strope as Jane Harper, a daughter of Old Joe, proved to be both charming and captivating. Her interpretation of the young lady in love with one man and in the power of another, was most pleasing. Her acting was admirably supported by Treva Hahn, as Priscilla Flag, Prin- cipal of a Young Ladies' Seminary in Chicago, Amanda Wenger, as Annie Lovell, the deserted wife, and Estella Myers, as Mary, Miss Flag's Maid. Taken in all, the Senior play was one of which the Class. 015120 may well feel proud. An Under Classman.

YOACI' TOS. WAKARUSA, IND. Dear Edith:- I am better again I had a bad cold last week. I was not to school last Friday. The principal came down and ask me to what school I went that was the reason I maid a mistake. I am writing this in school Monday and Tuesday I cannot right very well I must keep my eyes on the principal or she'll give me the dickens. We had our exam. before vacation and I was glad of it. I failed in Latin so now I have one less subject. I started on a Holla legged pedestal for myself yester- day today I will begin on an oak library table for myself and I also want to make an oak pedestal, fernstand, and another stand for myself. I am making my furniture first then I can get the girl, ha ha. Believe me I would come in there if the folks would let me. There is some nice girls hear that I like but I can not get them, there are some girls that like me but I don't like them. There are three girls out here that I want. two of them are in H. S. one is not. one is awful bashful but I think she will get over that. I don't know which one I will get but I will have one incite of a year. See this is leap year may be girls'll get me, ha ha ha. I will be sweet sixteen the first of Feb- ruary then wont I be sweet Are you going to H. S. next year if you do then is when you will have the fun Warren Risser is so big feelin and jell- ous that he can scarcely talk to a common gink like me they got a new oakland last summer now they are it. You want to go for him then you can ride in an oakland in stead of of a lizz. Say you write a let- ter to him just to see if he will answer, then tell me if he does. I'll ask him that the next time I see him. Well I don't know nothin else so I'll quit. Yours Lovingly A Freshie. 1 7-'PX u 1. 5 0' . 75 I
