Xo school oould have done more for its students. This year has been full of interesting events, pleasant associations and solid Avork. Never before have school interests, school loyalty, and school spirit mounted so high as during the past yeai ' . Our Superinteiulent and Principal have both i-ealized that the pupils are in a position to see the needs of the school. The students have been encouraged to give their ideas. Every pupil in the High School has some plea- sant memories of these two men. He T ' emend)ers the advice that helped in time of perplexities and trouble. He remembei-s the kindness and consideration shown him when he most needed them. He rememl)ers the cheerful, helpful talks about his plans for the future. He remembers their iiudination to listen to and consider any suggestion to which he has given serious thought. Indeed, we are not at all sui-e but that the oft ' ice is the center of all our boasted High School spirit. It is, indeed, the heai ' t of the school. Societies hich went out of school in 1912 are again blossoming forth. The parties, the plays, the contests, the debates, oui- nuisic, the assemblies, and athletics; all have aroused an unusual intei-est and foiuul a strong support. They in turn, have done their part in making this a great year. So now, we, a group of seven students, members of the Senior Class, have been chosen by you, the student body, to put forth a Tiger to represent and picture the year of student life in this school. Let us say that we all appreciate and acknowledge the responsiI)ility of our position. To put forth an Annual of this kind, we have had to study the school activities of the last nine ujonths nuist carefully. After doing this, we found that to record all the interesting happenings was practically imjiossible. So we have been forced to cut down and omit uuudi which would have been recoi-dod. We have tried to select those events which stand out and out-shine the i-est. We have tried to be im- partial and unprejudiced. We adnnt our .iudgment has not always been cor- i-ect ; we are only luinian beings, but we have done our best towards making this year ' s Tigei a lair lepi-esentative of the year ' s work. In lookinsr over the pages of this book a e ask you to regard our virtues kindly and to treat our eri ' ors blindly. We wish to exiu-ess ouv thanks to the many people who by their encoiii ' agement, their criticism, by their advice, and their kind sugges- tions have done much tow arils making this Annual what it is. We wish to thank the school as a wliole for it ' s loyal and active support. If, in after years, tlie pages of this book bring back a connected chain of Freshmen are warts on the h.iuds of progrress [140 more THE TiaER, thoughts and happy mem ' ries to you, we, the staff of the Tig er, shall feel that our labors have been amply rewarded. We now leave it in your hands. In closing, we ask you all— Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen— to join us in the following: Here ' s to the memories of dear old Warsaw, whose faculty and student body stand for ethics and learning, school spirit, and school loyalty. We, the students, do pledge our hearts, our souls, and our sacred honor to love and protect thee, our school, and be loyal to thee forever. ®Ijp Alumni URING the centennial celebration last July, an unusual affair was held in this city. People came from all parts of the country to at- tend. The first Alunnii Banquet was the occasion. It was held at the Methodist Church. For many years a meeting of this charac- ter has been desired but owing to the difficulty of assembling, plans never materialized. However, the commemoration of Indi- ana ' s one hundredth birthday offered the opportunity and ar- rangements were made accordingly. The affair was delightfully informal. The guests met in the Groves audi- torium where they Avere greeted by Miss Jennie Frazer, Mrs. F. E. Bowser and Prof. H. S. Kaufman. In fact, so thoroughly did they enjoy themselves renew- ing old acquaintances and chatting with their old schoolmates whom the pass- ing years had drifted far apart that it was past seven when they repaired to the banquet hall. The hall was profusely decorated in high school colors, the orange and the black. Banks of palms, ferns and white lilies were arranged most effectively. The tables were bedecked with garlands of floAvers and ferns by the Methodist ladies who served. White carnations were the favors given to the three hun- dred and nineteen guests. (Everyone assembled in their class according to their graduation year, and marched to their places). All being seated the old class rolls were read. Altho many members were absent, none was forgotten. Some classes had a hundred percent attendance, others were represented with only a lew. After the courses were served, the program was given, Edgar E. Hendee, of San Diego, Cal., acting as toastmaster. The invocation was made by Rev. John Lovell, of Long Branch, N. J., ' 81. Toasts Avere given by Mel Frasier, ' 79, Los Angeles, Cal. ; BraniAvell Baker, ' 83 : Earl Davenport, ' 95, of Chicago ; Elmer Funk, ' 95 ; Maxwell G. Phillips, ' 80, ' of Victoria, B. C. ; Mrs. W. W. Reed, ' 8L Solos were rendered by Floyd Stevens, ' 07; Gladys Yost, ' 15, and Mrs. Ethel Wallace Dufur. A reading was also given by Miss Marguerite Bum- baugh, ' 14. Mrs. Mary Shaffer Gibson, ' 78, of Evanston, M ' ho was in the first graduating class, also made a short talk. Music Avas furnished by Joe Maroni, an old time harpist of Warsaw. The program lasted for more than three hours, and the graduates, teachers, and guests enjoyed the many excellent toasts and vocal selections. All the speakers, Avhile making but brief and informal talks brought forth much mer- riment in relating incidents of former days at the old CoAvan School and later in the old Center Ward building, and Avere allowed to speak on any subject desired, yet no tAvo addresses Avere alike. All shoAved plainly the influence that the reunion Avith old schoolmates had upon the speakers. School days Avere the entire subject of expressions. A telegram from the militia boys at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indiana,, Co. H sends greetings to the H. S. Alumni signed Co. H Alumni, sent a thrill of patriotism through the ci-oAvd. A large percentage are former graduates or classmen.

The coach had done his best but tlie team was rather a soitv outfit; the line leaked like a sieve and i1 look the backs a lony time to pass a j iven point. The coach mediated sadly [ )o] these things on his way home from afternoon practice. It Ava.s, clear tliat evei-ythin i was lost including; honor. Sudden- ly, down in the ))usiness section of the town, he saw something that iiiteix ' sted him very much: and when he ent home his face was wreathed in smiles. When the team lined up for the big game there was a stranger in the midst, a high, wide stranger, built ijifhor upon the lines of the Koseiuskt) County couit house. His name, it seemed, was Young and he had to be introduced to the other members of the team because he had nevei- foiuid it convenient to go to the High School. It is a painful fact that coaches were not as particular in such matters then as they are today. Now, Young was an experienced milker and a champion pitcher of hay but he had never per- sonally met a footl)a!l game. The coach tried to give him the fine points of the game but nothing seemed to soak in very fai ' . Finally the coach in despair told Yomig that there was only (Uie thing to remem- ber: that he nmst i ut the ball over that east sjoal line as early and as often as possible and try to avoid manslaughter if convenient. AVhen he once got the hauif of the thing the im- ])oi ' ted player pT-oved to he a very powerful ally. He tossed the hated enemy about as if they were bags of oats. It was to his cus- tom of personally stepping ' ui)on the op])Osing team that the nameless High School owed the one touchdown they got in the first half: whenever the enemy tried to gain it found Yoiuig s ' iving an imitation of a barn door and slamniinff himself shut in their faces. In those days the teams changed goals oidy at the beginning of the second half. Everybody in the woi-ld knew this except Young. AYhen he srot the ball he knew that tliere was only one thing to do with it : they were facinsr the other way but they coiddn ' t fool him. So he tui-ned and ran toward the east goal. The crowd broke into a roar of dismay but Young thought it was meant for applause and redoubled his efforts. Both teams .started after him but they nevei- had a chance. Finally in desperation, the coach darted out from the side lines, tackled him and bro ight him down. The visiting team protested but the referee could find nothing in his book to forbid a coach tacklinir a member of his own team. He held that they had already ]ienalizod themselves enough to satisfy the law. And so the locals saved themselves from an inirrowinsr touch- down and finallv ■ on the ' ame. But Youusr wotind up his academic career tlien and there and went home. HO VARn BRFBAICER.

' hristmas day on one of the hloody battle-fields of Europe. Within sif lit of each other the aniiy of the Germans and that of the Allies lay in their trenches. Pwiemies? Yes, in one sense the bitterest of foes ; in another, they were merely men who in the j rip of circumstances over which they had no control, were fi«rhtin{r because they must. On this Christmas day in nineteen-fifteen, the spirit of peace on earth, good will to men exerted its influence over even these pooi- soldiers in the tienches. A truce was declared for the day, and all hostilities were laid aside, ffermans and Allies spent the day to- gether, swapping tobacco, spinning yarns and talking of the good old days be- fore the war. More than one expressed the wish that he had gone to America before this dreadful war began. But when the day was over, its spirit, too, de- pai ' ted and once again the (ierniaiis and Allies Avere men of opposing armies. Among the ranks of the Allies was Tom Gray, a Scotchman, about forty years of age. He did not want to fight, but like thousands of ftthers, was com- pelled to serve his country thus. In a battle, some time in the spring of nine- teen-sixteen, Gi-ay was wounded and left lying helple.ss on the battle-field. Here he was found by the Red Cross people, and taken to an army hospital. Upon investigation it was found that he had a bullet wound in his left side near his heart, and in his right side a wound made by a bayonet. Week after week he suffered in the hospital, with only such rude attentions as could be given one anunig the wounded hundreds. When, at the end of three months, he was once more able to walk about, he was given a three weeks ' furlough to go home and visit his family in Scotland, for in that far-away country he had a wife and three daughters, whom he had not seen for over two years. So he started for home, but when he reached Glasgow, an unexpected opportunity presented itself for him to take passage on a vessel bound for America. Now came such a struggle within his own mind as Tom Gray had never imagined. Should he seize this opportunity of escaping from the bloody bat- tle-fields of Europe, and risk the chance of capture and death for desertion? Or should he go home and spend these few days with his family, then return to the soldier ' s hated duties and probable early death? The strusrirle was brief; he recalled the express desire of his wife that he might escape to Ame- rica where, when the war was over, she might .ioin him. He thought, too. of his older brother, Roderick, who for fifteen years had been living in that land of plenty, and this thought decided him. I ' ll go to Roderick, Avas his conclusion. — I ' ll take out my papers for citizenship over there, and never more will I go back to fight those for whom I have no feelings of enmity. His mind once made up. he hastened to dis- guise himself as fully as possible. Going to an obscure second-hand store, in Glasglow, he bought himself a suit of clothes and an old suit case, drew a small amount of nu)uey from the bank where his wife had placed it at his dis- posal, ami boarded the vessel bound for America. Five other Scotch soldiei-s. released on furlough at the same time with Gray, l)oarded the same ship in an attempt to escape from further duties in the army. Going at once to his state- l SrftuUXLZ If brevity Is the soul of wit, our financial condition must be real humorous [136 more THE TIOEI5. room, Gray removed all his clothing by which he might be identified, and put on the suit he had bought at the second-hand store. The clothes he took off, he placed in the suit case, which he shoved through a port-hole into the Atlan- tic. The other Scotchmen did likewise, with the exception that they retained their army under-clothing. When the vessel landed at New York, Gray passed the inspection of the customs officials, but the other five were identified by their under-clothing and returned to Europe, where they were doubtless shot for desertion. And now Tom Gray stood for the first time, a free man in a free country, but he was in the grip of fear lest he be recognized as a deserter, and taken back to the ship. To him, every blue-coated policeman was a menace ; he felt that safety lay alone in making his escape far inland, away from the city of New York. So he sought a railway station, and boarded the first out-going train. He soon found this was bearing him southward along the coast, so he changed to a westbound train on the Pennsylvania road. He remembered that his brother ' s address was in Springfield, 111., so he continued in that direction, paying his way as long as his money lasted. When finally his money was all gone, he got off the train, and found him- self in the city of Fort Wayne, Ind. Here he tried to find work, but failing, started on foot toward the city of Chicago where, he was given to understand, he might secure work. But at the freight yards he was invited to ride on a flat ear, by a kind-hearted brakeman, who happened to be of his own na- tionality. Ye ' 11 not be walking all that way, he said, Jest make yersel to hame, and ye ' 11 no be disturbed. But Gray was unaccustomed to such riding, and as the train gained speed, he held on with both hands, fearing every moment that he would be hurled to the ground. At the first stop Tom hastened to make his escape from this — to him — perilous position. This stop happened to be at the freight-yards of Warsaw. Tom jumped to the ground and started north. Just a few steps brought him to the open door of a garage. Here he entered into a conversation with one of the workmen, wondering what chance there might be for Avork in Warsaw. The proprietor, upon hearing his story, gave him a temporary job. Tom at once showed himself so diligent, intelligent, cheerful and trustworthy, that he was hired with the understanding that his job would last as long as his service was satisfactory. A little room Avas furnished for him, where he might live and board himself. Here he seemed as proud and happy as a king in his palace. Every day he talked of his plans for the future. Tom was so happy in his new-found freedom that he forgot his resolutions to be cautious, and talked quite freely of his escape from his hated military servitude in Europe. He even wrote a letter to his brother Roderick in Spring- field, telling him of his escape and his present employment. But much as he desired to communicate with his wife, his knowledge that every letter crossing the ocean would be strictly censured, prevented his writing to her. ' ' She ' 11 no be Avorrying, ' ' he thought, ' ' for she knows Avhat ship I took and Avill see by the papers that it arrived safe in America. Many times, at twilight, he would sit with his proprietor ' s children, telling 1 9) 1 7 135 more] A half loaf is ' better than not heing allowed to loaf at all THE TIOEE stor-ics of far ' -off Scoliand. One cNciiiiiLr as ho sat thus, his employer ' s sixteen- year-old (laii iht( ' i ' canic tionic Ifoin a walk with a f ' cifiul, a few minutes after dark; Tom opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Aye, aye, lassie, he said Ri-avely, Tis na weel far youn folks to he out sa late. In bonny Scotland we could na do so. Ane time whin I wis young, eoui ' tin ' my sweetheai ' t, i look her hame sa late as fifteen minutes pa.st eight, we found hei ' niither greeting:; as a punishment far eausing her sa muekle t rief, 1 wis for ' hidden to see my sweetheart agen fai- a whole week. Tis na weel far lassies to be out sa late. So all who knew him, learned to like the friendly Seotehman, hecause he seemed to take such personal intei ' est in all with whom he was associated. Many a good counsel he gave to the little boys, who loved to follow him ahout while he was at work, — listening to him sing sf)ngs of Scotland in his rich baritone voice and broad Scottish accent, or telling stories of his boyhood, so different from their own. Don ' t ye ever be onything but gentlemen, laddies, he would .say, Keep yer hearts an ' yer lives an ' yer lips clean. This world has too nnickle need o ' clean men fer bonnie lads like you to grow up to be onything else. This worl ' s garden is too full o ' weeds now. Do ye be u.seful plants. In his own land Tom had been a landscape gardener, and much of his conversation was tinged with imagry learned in the garden. As the weeks passed, Tom ' s interest in his new home seemed to increa.se, until suddenly one Sunday in August he saw an item in a Chicago paper, that the country was full of spies, looking out for men who might belong to the armies of Eui ' ope. Then Tom ' s peace of mind was gone. I ' ve talked too much, he said to his employer, I ' ve told too many peo- ple my story. I fear some one will tell those spies about me. He became nervous and fearful of every stranger who came to the place. Then one day in October he suddenly looked up from his work to see a stranger intently watching him. That mon is a British spy! was the first thought which flashed into his mind ; he at once found duties to carry him into another part of the building. A short time later he again saw the same man enter the door and stop to look at him. Tom was tei-ror stricken! He did not stop to i-eason or inqiiire : his employer was absent, and there was no one in whom he wished to confide. Slipping away to his little room, he changed his clothes, came hack and told one of the men that a spy was after him and that if caught, he would have to die. And without stopping to even draw the wages that were due him, Tom disappeared as if the earth had swallowed him up. An hour after his disappearance, the stranger whom he had seen walked boldly into the garage and addressed the first workman he came to. Where is that bran Scolchniau 1 saw here this morning? he asked. 1 don ' t know. replied the man. Why. Because. the stranger said. Unless 1 am mistaken he is Tom Gray, my brither whom 1 have not seen far fifteen years. The workman looked at the man keenly. Your brother! he said, What makes von thiidv he is your In-other. ' rmfflXz Can yoii imagfine a H. S. without a faculty? [134 more TIHII ' T1I©EIK. This, replied the brother, pulling out the letter Tom had written him soon after his arrival in Warsaw. I hae come to take him hame wi ' me, he said, so that I can help pro- tect him frae ony foreign spies. The workman stared at the stranger, con- vinced of the truth of his statement. I ' m afraid you are too late, he said, Tom saw you this morning and took you for a British spy. He ' s gone — I don ' t know where. Roderick Gray immediately began a search for his brother. He remained in Warsaw and the vicinity several days, in hopes that Tom would return. But he did not. When at the end of a week not the slightest clew had been dis- covered as to the direction the refugee had taken, Roderick sadly returned to his home. Weeks passed, and his Warsaw friends heard no word from Tom Gray. Was he somewhere apprehended b} ' spies from the old country and arrested by them? Did he go into hiding uiider some other name, waiting till such time as he might feel safe to seek his brother? Did he drift to Chicago or some other large city, there to be swallo ' ' ed up in its maelstrom of poverty-stricken hu- manity? We do not know, for as far as we are concerned, he is enveloped by a silence as of the tomb. VIOLA C. NEHER. lExrpHS laggag Nn. 13 OLLY was just an ordinary girl, full of fun, and ready for any ad- venture which might turn up. Tho ' not unusually pretty, she pos- sessed an attractive face with a saucy little nose and merry black eyes. On this particular morning, the girl, standing at the window looking out over the back campus where AVillow pond lay spark- ling in the morning sun, was thinking of the past four years spent in the southern college from which she had graduated last night. Now she must return to the great city with all its bustle to make her bow in society, with nothing to do but attend a ceaseless round of gaity. Suddenly she Avas recalled from her thoughts on hearing her room-mate re- mark with her slow drawl, Molly, you ' d better be gettin ' yo ' trunk packed if you intend to leave on the next train. ' ' Indeed, when looking at the clock just two hours remained in which to finish packing, reach the station, procure a ticket and check her baggage. Putting aside all her aireastles, Molly fairly threw things in her trunk but on looking for the key, it was nowhere to be found. She hurriedly unpacked things ' till the missing key came to light; then replacing them tried to turn the key in the lock only to find it broken. At this critical moment in came the baggage man whereupon Molly found some rope for him to tie around the trunk and after tying the lid down he took it aAvay. By this time fifteen minutes remained to reach the station. Leaving the biulding, Molly paused a minute to take a farewell glance at the old buildings, and the long avenue of locust trees, now in full bloom, making the air frag- 1 1 T 133 more] Only two thing ' s keep some g ' irls from ' beingr good dancers — their feet THE TIGE ] Q rant willi llicir pcrfiinic. Tlif () d irky who drove tlie bus was passing by so Molly hailed him. JohnDV, (his name on the ehureh ref ister was John Alaysius Johnson), resplendent thai motniny ' in an old tattered rusty-lookinj? dress suit, had perched on his wooly haii- in honor of his fine clothes a tiny derby. Oh, Johnny, she called, Wait! I want to jjo to the station. ' Deed ah will, Miss Molly, ' deed ah will. I ' ll be jrlad to .serb you ' , he quavered, at the same time claniherinnr doA n to hold open the door for her. Johnny, tell Aunt Dulee to take care of hei ' self this summer and now hurry as fast as you can. ' ' Johnny, now leisurely mounted his seat on the rickety bus, whipped up his bony horse and started towards the station Avhere he drew up with a frrand flourish. Molly ran into the station and while buyinj? her ticket heard the train whistle in the distance. The sleepy agent handed her a cheek for her bag- gage and she huri-ied on the little platform just as the train was pulling up. On the platform of the observation ear she made a dainty picture of a typical summer girl. Her curly hair shone like bui-nished gold when for a second a tiny sunbeam straying through the leafy trees swiftly flew by. An- noyed becavise the wind tangled her curls and the cinders flew in her freshly powdered face, Molly started in a bored manner at the landscape flying pa.st her. She had been at a finishing school for four years and was now consid- ered ready for her appearance in society. Then, as the train sped thru a little village nestling near the track, the sound of a bell reminded her of the school gong. Her bored expi ' ession changed to a tiny smile as she now tho ' t of the time when she had turned the school ,lock back an hour. Her plan had gone smoothly ' till one teacher, a tall, gaunt, angular lady had discovered the slow clock. In the search for the miscreant a freshman who always told the ti ' uth, spoke of seeing lolly turn the clock back. Then, Molly, inAvai ' dly vowing I ' evenge, was forced to admit the deed. The ensuing weeks she was campiised came in her mind and there she sat the I ' cnminder of the afternoon, thinking of college as the ti-ain curved in and out among the hills. As the sand storm changes the desert or the avalanche the mountain side so ensuing events changed the well ordered equilil)rim of Molly ' s life. Sud- denly there came a crash ; bits of broken glass and splintered wood flew about as the cai in which IMolly was traveling jumped the track and overturned. When Molly next realized Avliat was going on, she found herself in a quaint old four poster bed in a big sunshiny I ' oom. Finding she still remained unin- jured, she soon arose and a tiny lady who had been sitting on the other side of the room, brought her bi-eakfast. While she ate the tiny lady told how in the evening hei- husband, hearing the crasli, ran to the track and finding Molly un- conscious hi ' ought her home with him. lolly, after thanking the woman for her cai-e, asked to be driven to the nearest station and very soon was on her way in si)ite of tlie protests of tlie buly who tho ' t the girl should stay longer with her. At the station .Molly sent a telegram to her uncle assuring him of her safety and telling of the coffin check No. lo, she had received in place of a ti ' unk check, asking that he fix the matter for lier. So. having sent the mes- sage, jNlolly pi ' epared to wait foi- the next train to the city. : zMS±MIl The long ' er the lesson, the deeper the groan [133 more THE 11QE In a great hotel in the city a pompous, dignified man came into the dining room. Sitting down he began to berate the waiter because his breakfast had not suited him the morning before, then, when he could think of nothing more, testily ordered his breakfast. His food arriving, Mr. Stuart began to read his morning paper the while wondering why Molly had not come, Avhen suddenly he found her name among the missing in the wreck. Scarcely believing what he saw the meamvhile inwardly raging that such a thing could happen on the road of which he was president, Stuart left the table planning to start an in- vestigation of the wreck. Molly, arriving at the station wondered why her uncle, who always prided himself on being punctual, was not there to meet her but in the crowd she caught a fleeting glance of one of her friends so hurried to catch up with her. Going to the baggage room Molly gave the coffin check to the baggage man and hurriedly telling of the mistake in checks asked him to straighten the mat- ter out giving her uncle ' s name and his hotel as her address. Then the two girls left the station to gether chattering like magpies of their school experi- ences. In the great hotel Molly ' s uncle was pacing about the room thinking of Molly when a knock sounded on his door and in stepped two men bearing a coffin which they quietly set down and then as quietly left. But the man con- tinued his ceaseless round of the room feared to open the coffin thinking in it the remains of Molly. About an hour passed in this way when a loud knock sounded on the door and in stepped a tall, powerful looking man. Mr. Stuart, resenting the intrusion growled, Well what do you want noAv? The man then declared him under arrest and ordered him to the po- lice court. Mr. Stuart, after a series of verbal explosions went with the man. Arriving at the station, Stuart thought his name enough to convince the judge he was not guilty so recovered his poise. Sir, he questioned, do you know whom your man has arrested ?

I am no more guilty of the theft of that old mummy, retorted Stuart, than — and just then in came Molly accompanied by another detective. Stuart stared at Molly and Molly stared at him, but when the judge told Stuart to continue he refused to do so and Molly was summoned. Just as Molly approached the judge a young man wearing a Van Dyke beard stepped toward her and bowing held out a card saying, Allow me to serve as your attorney. Molly at first angrily stared at him then haughtily turned her back on him not even deigning to touch or look at the card he held. Then a most mirac- ulous transformation took place; off came the beard and holding out a tele- gram in his natural voice the man begged Molly to let him explain. She turned, gave him an icy look, turned away again and in fi ' igid tones retorted, Well, what is there you can possibly say for yourself in disguise at a police station? Molly, I received the telegram you sent your uncle.

(Silt MxBBm HJnrb HE glowing embers in the grate imbued the walls of the room with tints of red and yellow while dark, mystic shadows danced to the sonoi-ous ticking of the cuckoo clock in the hall. The burnt wood cracked and snapped as it settled down amid the bed of hot coals. Smoke from the dying fii-e di ' ifted up the chimney, begrimmed with soot of year ' s accunuilation. The glowing redness against the dark background was indeed an autunnial sunset. I was wrapt in profound reveries when I heard, to my aroused curiosity, a dwarfish voice in the most high and squeaking tones. I looked around. Save for the ticking of the clock, the I ' oom was ni peii ' ect silence. Outside it was dark while num- berless snowfiakes hurried past the windows in silence. Well, of all the nerve, exclaimed the same squeaking voice. Startled, I jumped up fiuun my nu)iris chair. That was the second time I had heard that voice. Surely my inuigination was getting the best of me. This time I made a careful survey of the room, glanced hesitatingly under the davenpoi-t, investigated the space under the library table, but foiuul no answer as to the cause of this mysterious oice. Thinking that my imagination was the cause of the strange voice, I returned to the morris chair which was so in- viting and allui ' ing, and refilling my old fashioned pipe with some tobacco I hatl been keeping in an old bowl for nuiny yeai ' s, I i-esumed my rest. Yes, 1 was talking about YOT. 1 have had about en ugh of your treat- ment. Speak! the voice shrieketl saucily. A-a-I don ' t— Yes, speak! , demanded the voice in nuu ' e angry tones. Well-a-who are you aiiyway? You know well enough. It was only this afternoon that you said you ' et ' some pie fo r dinner. Haven ' t you any nun-e sense of gi-auunar than that?

Oh, yes, but you did, cried another voice quickly, and yesterday you said that you liked ' them ' things ' pretty ' well. I want you to understand that I am not going to be mistreated any more. I ain ' t never said no such thing, I muttered, shivering Avith superstitious fear. And I want to tell you, continued the same voice in an excited pitch, ' ' that you cannot put two negatives in the same sentence. The way you abuse us is disgraceful. Your grammar is worse than a five-year-old. That ain ' t — , I started to say, but caught myself in the act of using an- other barbarism which had been firmly planted in my mind.

Upon shrieking this alarming exclamation in my ears they fell upon me with such fury and rage that I dropped on my knees and besought peace. Will you ever use ' ain ' t ' again? , they cried furiously. Never, never, I promised earnestly, more than willing to rid myself of these demons of torment. All at once I found myself sprawled out on the floor, hair ruffled, one slip- per off, and much bewildered. Picking myself up I ejaculated, Well if that ain ' t the— iCutli r Surfaank IC rtur OW white berries were grown on blackberry bushes and the bushes made thornless Avas explained in a steroptican lecture, delivered by Dr. EdAvard Eccleston at the Presbyterian church, Thursday evening, September 28. The lecture, Luther Burbank, the Man and His Method, was given under the auspices of the WarsaAV High School. Dr. Eccleston Avho is the national lecturer of the Luther Burbank Society, Avas introduced to the audience of several hundred people by Mayor Richardson of this city. The speaker used, in connection Avith his lecture, 180 slides. Bunny Ford and Carl Crites operated the machine. How one man created fruits of better quality, transformed Aveeds into beau- tiful floAvers, reads like a fairy tale, but all A ery credible to us, accustomed as Ave are to marvelous iuA ' entions and discoveries of the present age, Burbank, when but a lad of sixteen sold a ncAv potato that he had discovered, for $150, and set out for the Avestern coast. There in the sunny state of California, he made his home at San Rosa, near San Francisco. At this toAvn he first raised his potatoes AA hich sometimes weighed 31 2 pounds or more and were without pimples or blotches. Just this one discovery has proved of vast importance. On his estates, he has hundreds of thousands of plants in cultivation. In creating a snoAV-Avhite black berry. Dr. Eccleston explained, 65,000 separate bushes Avere used, 3,200 plum and prune trees Avere used in another 129 more] SpriniT poets will happen in the best of families T!ii TIOli5r] Q; experiinciil.

' rafts are kept hut all the others, rciyncdiess of value, are (h-stroyed. As the result of this hard work, cherry trees have pi ' odueed fruit only 11 months from the time of planting. The cherries have been j reatly enlar ' ed; the pits made to elinff to the stem, leaving ' the fruit ready to preserve when plucked. The blackberry anri apple ci ' ossed; the i)luni and apricot which i-esulted in the plurncot, only one of the thousands of his creations; the wild dewberry and raspberry, which created a new fruit; apples perfected, (and made coi-eless; after ;i,000 j rafts had been used ; Vixon plum which is larger and better, with thick skins for lonp dis- tant shipping, prunes have been increased to the 9-inch in circumference and without pits, a seemingly impossible accomplishment. The seeds have been transferred to one end of the watermelon ; ])eaches greatly enlarged and per- fected — now known as the crawfoi-d peach; iK ' pi)ei-s have been grown of giant size and weight; sub-tomatoes and even aeriel potatoes, an almost incredible creation. Burbank has made the quince soft as an apple, and lily bulbs edible as ordinary fruit. As for flowers, he has created giant daisies, perfectly white, and eight to ten inches in diameter ; and in twenty acres of Diolas has grown flowei-s of all colors seemingly — dark red — purple — blue — lavendei- — white, but all only through years of persistent experiment. A Diola he lovingly made of a light blue, just the coloi- of a baby ' s eyes. The Amorilla flower he produced of mammoth size and all eoloi-s of the rainbow. The poppy was changed, it almost seems by his magic wand to a beautiful shade of red. The flower alone mea- sures nine inches in diameter. He has accomplished wonderful results with roses, and flowers of every description, and from all lands of the world. One of his greatest creations, Dr. Eccleston said, was the spineless cactus. The cactus has ahvays been a desert plant, very hardy and covered, as many tourists have discovered, with flue, penetrating needles. The plant, itself, Ls excellent food for cattle, but on accoiuit of the numberless needles which pro- ject on every side it can not be used as it causes to cattle to die. Burbank worked and experimented for a long time, and finally produced a spineless cac- tus. The plant grows nine feet high, produces ninety to one hundred and fifty per cent of perfect cattle food, and li es longer than one man could raise cat- tle. Expei ' iments were tried on a first prize Holstein cow, the results were nearly thirty-three and one-third per cent increase per pounds of milk. The plant is also fruit bearing, the fruit being very edible and will no doubt be ex- tensively used in the near future. Two equally remarkable creations which will greatly influence the grain production of this coinitry, are the giant corn and wheat plants. The former gi ' ows seventeen to twenty feet in height and will bear sixty-five bushels to the acre. The niammotli stocks are also excellent for silage. The wheat is larger in size than usual and bears grain heads seven inches long. If our country could only lealize a possible vi.siou of future America: our orchards laden with a multitude of perfect fruit : our gardens earth mines of delicious vegetables; our flowerbeds overflowing Avith the colors of the rain- bow ; our fields waving with golden tossels of grain that will eclipse the dreams of Aladdin; the barren desert virtually transformed into profitable ranches of cattle food and glowing fruit ; yea, if we could but catch a vision of a world which Burbank has helped (!od to make more beautiful, we would arise with one accord to say that Luther Burbank, is the greatest living American scien- tist of this age. Gladly did I give forty-three years of my live to pioneering — gladly am I giving the results of that pionooring to the world: perhaps the much slighted soil — foot or acre — finally will come into its own. and love for nature uncover man s dormant love for his own i;ind. — Luther Burbank.

The dictionaries, reference books and en- cyclopaedias in the fi ' ont of the room have always been of interest to many : to some because of their quest for knoAvledge, to others (especially certain Seniors) because they desired to be the attraction for all eyes. It would seem that we make a specialty in the way announcements before the school are made — in that they are never correct, something is omitted or something wrong.

BEOWN. ®I| Art i iartm nt HE Art Dexjartment has for a number of years been under the able supervision of Mrs. Webber. Since it is only jDossible for two I ' ecitations every other week not as nmch work can be done as de- sired. However, considering this, considerable ground is covered. This year there are thirty-four pupils taking this course. The first work taken up is the study from a model or study of still life. This means drawing vases, jars, bo vls and books, working for three or four lessons, even more sometimes until each pupil has finished a picture of probably a vase and a book or two. These are the first pictures that adorn the walls of room twelve, early in September. After these pictures comes the study of perspective. There are rules to learn as to how to draw objects as they appear and not as they really are. The pictures now are telephone poles, railroads and rows of trees and must be made with regard to all the rules of perspective. Next in order is the study of design along with the work of producing new and original patterns. Greek and Roman design is studied. These designs are A ' orked out in our constructive work such as making of book-covers, Avaste baskets and folios. The last subject Avhich in previous years classes have not taken up and which we hope to study is the History of Art. Since the work on exhibition last fall was highly complimented and consid- ered very good the Art classes feel that they have not toiled in vain. BERNICE HEETER. S KKlUz 123 more] THE- TIOEIR, ®It?

To come into our class you might think it a Ladies ' Society from the gen- eral buzz of conversation; but looking closes you would see that it was not, for we do not piece comforters but sew garments for ourselves. It is even rumored we are to make our dresses for graduation ! It makes me faint to think of it but with the assistance of our helpful, patient teacher, Miss Richards, I am sure we will be there proudly arrayed in dresses of our own construction. Miss Richards says very little about conduct but a hint to the wise is suf- ficient when the little red book appears. We sit up very straight, both feet on the floor, our sewing eighteen inches from our eyes, and last but not least our tongues cease their babbling. Especially during recitation on cotton, silk or other fabrics are we still, sometimes for lack of knowledge, but more often to obtain matei-ial for our copious notebooks. Many of us have not yet seen G+ after Domestic Art on our report cards, but we poor mortals have a high goal for which to aspire and Avork. We are occasionally reminded, Avhen the buzzing ceases to be a buzzing and becomes a babble, that the more quiet ones in the class usually make the G+ grades. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Altho only four periods a Aveek are spent on sewing in class a great deal is accomplished for many of the girls stay in an extra hour after school has been dismissed, serving and ripping and fitting. We are improving slowly but sure- ly and if on commencement day we can appear in garments made by our own hands we can surely say, A work well done is Avell Avorth Avhile. SEMERAMIS KUTZ. ®1|?

This depai ' tnient has for a nuinher of years been considered the waste basket of the High School. As a rule the people seeking a scientific luiniinuiu went into these classes and tlius the reputation of the department was lowered. Miss Haines, who succeeded Mr. Swan as instructoi- in these subjects, is doinjr all in her power to I ' aise the standard of the department to the level of the other departments and to secui-e more efficient work from the pupils than has been produced in years past. In the Stenography class there are only fifteen pupils but this is an advant- age to those in the class for it affords more careful attention for each pupil by Miss Haines. The su])ject if mastered is not ea.sy and requires houi-s of eou- centi ' ated thought as you practii ' C.

The goal of the class is one hundred and twenty-five words a minute. Bookkeeping with its debits and credits is very interestintr for the pupils but much more so for a teachei ' , who has twenty-five pupils for whom debits and ci ' edits are to be straighteiunl. The work at the first of the year was a study in debits and credits, then they woi-ked out simple business sets and near the close of the school term a special business practice will be studieii in which the school room foi ' uis the !)usiiu ss world with some pupils as bankei-s, some as wholesale merchants and others as retail merchants. Typewriting gives only one half credit but re«iuires n ore work than any other conunercial subject.

The class has been goinir slowly but the work is thorough and the average pupil will be able to write forty wonls a nnnute at tlie close of school. Commercial Arithmetic and Commercial Law are included in one coui-se. Commercial Arithmetic comes the first six months and Conunercial Law the last three numths. The Conunercial Arithmetic is a continuation of eouuuon [120 more ' THI5-- TIQEUT Q school work but shorter niethocls and more complicated problems are given. Rapid calculation is the dread of nearly every pupil of the class, there are two sections of the class but there are only twenty-five pupils altogether. If pos- sible there will be oiily one class when Commercial Law is studied. This sub- ject takes up the study of business forms and principles of law governing busi- ness affairs. Note books will be kept of cases the same to those given in the book. The results are to be worked out according to the Commercial laws given in the text. The sul ject is one Avhich anyone Avho has had any kind of business transactions should know thoroughly. LOIS SELLERS. Early in September, fourteen eager students were awaiting the word for work in the laboratory, for these fourteen students had determined to be chem- ists. The laboratory experiments, as specified by the laboratory manual deal largely with the theory of Chemistry, shoAving also the practical side. A large amount of time is spent on the uses of some of the more important elements, together with the study of their principal compounds. The study and prepara- tion of the most important gases constitute a part of the laboratory course. The test of the ability to break the laboratory apparatus was passed by the beginners with wonderful ease, the professor qualifying very early (for him). Later came another test when each student Avas forced to stand and face the poisonous fumes of the gases. Drinking mixtures such as Avere calculated to bring successful results in experiments Avas also tried. In the beginning of the course, Avhen anything Avent Avrong, the first inclination of the pupils was to grieve, but noAv the situation is reversed — nothing can spoil the good spirit of the class. Even Avhen the professor Avas detained for nearly one period, some of the girls sang and made merry in a most disgraceful manner. More stress in Chemistry is placed upon accuracy of work than upon a rapid and loosely arranged course. The class is progressing rapidly and it is hoped that all the present students Avill labor on in life and astonish the AA orld by their discoveries in the great realm of Chemistry.

Domestic Science as taught in the High School has three distinct phrases: practical work in foods, comnu)nly called cooking, experimental work in foods, and some knowledge concerning study of foods, food nutrition and food diet. The practical work takes up the preparation of different foods showing the re- action of foods under certain conditions. Experimental work deals Avith ex- periments on dift ' erent foods. Many dift ' ei-ent points are included under the Study of Foods; the most important ones are: what food is, the composition, how manufactured and ti-ansporteil : pure food, sanitary and convenient markets; the cost of foods anil how to buy them. Food nutrition includes the study, the most suitable combination and anu)unts to tit the needs of individual persons. The Domestic Science course in this High School deals, to some ex- tent, with practically every phra.se of a High School course except diet. This subject covers a wide field of study and slionld lie given a full year for the complete study of it, as it is of a great importance. The course in Domestic Science has been under the able supervision of Miss Richai ' ds for the past three months and is a subject Avell liked l v every one who has taken it.

HROUGHOUT the last two decades there has been a movement to raise the business and social standard of the pastoral population of this country. The school system recognizing the worth of this movement has introduced the subject of Agriculture and Farm Home Economics into the curriculum. The introducing of these subjects into the schools of large towns is especially commendable. The prejudice existing between city and country is ' due to the fact that the city people are not acquainted with the scientific and lab or saving methods of work now pursued by the farmers. Because of the large number of town pupils who signed up to take the Agriculture course, it has been, for the most part, designed to show in a gen- eral way what great advances have been made during the past few years along the line of Agricultural methods. The Avork taken by the course has consisted of a mingling of chemistry, geology, botany, physiology, bacteriology and other sciences in as far as they have a bearing upon agriculture. The aim has been to include but the first principles of these various sciences and to shoAV their application to the art of Agriculture. The field is so wide that a one year ' s course can only deal with the simple first principles of Agricultural Science. It is hoped, however, that the beginning here made will lead to a further study of what is one of the most interesting, useful and profitable sciences — one that is at the present time making a most wonderful advance. An intelligent understanding of the science underlying the art of Agricul- ture will add much interest to what is otherwise hard work, and as a natural consequence, the pleasure of such work may be greatly increased. The boys in the course who live in this town will find that some knowledge of the science of Agriculture will be of use to them, and will increase the respect and consid- eration for the calling that contributes so largely to the general wealth and welfare of the country.

Some time after school began we wei-e confronteil one morning liy the teachei- who wanted to know who had misplaced the mercury. Mi-. Rhoads said the chap certainly had an eye foi- business if he did not have any feeling or consideration for the school. This as the most valualile thing in the Lab- oratory, and was worth about forty dollars. As a great tnany things depended upon the use of mercury in experimenting much valuable Avork was left out. JNlachines were then discussed and we found a wedge although it posse.ssed no wheels oi ' pulleys was a machine. Mechanics of gases and litpiids were tlKU ' oughly gone over, and tlien sound and its source. Back fi ' om vacation, a new subject, heat and energy. was tackled and easily mastered. Then electricity with everything connected with it and light i-efraction and rellectiou were studied. These subjects ended the coui-se in Physics w liicli had been nmst interesting and highly instructive. BEX :NrcKRILL.

E. Bobbins was presented at the new Center Ward school building, on the evenings of March 6th and 7th. This entertainment was highly successful. The cast Avas very carefully selected. Each character Avas so pleased as to easily and haturally take the part to him or her. Nothing was left undone that would add to the setting and successful presentation of the play. A beautiful scene Avas painted especiall.y for the occasion; the lights Avere so arranged as to giA ' e the best effect. The music of the orchestra har- monized pleasantly AAdth the A oices. Commendation is due the individuals of the cast for their earnestness and wholehearted interest in their separate parts. They resolved, it AA ' ould seem, unanimously and individually to put forth the best efforts they could afford. The stage setting Avas fitting. The large plat- form, lighted by shaded lights softly setting off the seashore background, Avas in itself unique and suggested the Avord nautical. The spacious audi- torium Avas illuminated by pleasing colored lights. A spot light, operated from the back of the assembly, flashed brilliantly on the leading characters as they entered. As Ave think happily of the success of our amateur performers Ave must ever remember that the real cause of our signal accomplishment lay Avith the thorough training by our competent directors. We cannot exaggerate the deep interest shoAvn, the exhausting labor applied and hardships borne on the part of the director of the Glee Club that the Operetta might be Avorth Avhile. We cannot too highly appreciate nor connnend Avhether sincere efforts in our interest. AVe emphasize our appreciation of the excellent Avork of Mrs. Rob- bins, Avho coached the speaking parts and gained the confidence of all the cast. We commend the fine skill of Miss Regina Netter, in her able direction of the dance steps. We heartily applaud the pianist, Miss Mary Kathryn Shoup, for her splendid rendering of the music of the Operetta.

Wil- liam Orr was elected president ; Warren Chisholn, vice-president, and Lillian Walton secretary and treasurer ; Mar} Kathryn Shoup, pianist. The work being in charge of Miss Carrie Jaques, who had proven the previous year her ability and willingness to promote all interests of that organization. A fine spirit Avas manifested from the start and fifty-two members were enrolled. And why should not everyone show a fine spirit in joining an organization Avhich offers the opportunities that does the Glee Club? First, one-third credit is given to all members who have not more than three unexcused absences from the regular rehearsals every Tuesday evening from 3 :30 to 4 :00. Secondly, it gives each member an opportunity to develop the musical talent which they may possess under a very able instructor. Also the Glee Club is annually extended the invitation to sing at a number of the churches and at the Farmers ' Institute. Also at the High School Commence- ment Exercises, these invitations are gladly accepted and everyone appreciates an opportunity of singing on invitation of the public. Last, but not least, of the accomplishments of the Glee Club is an Operetta which is given annually by a cast which is chosen from members of the Glee Club. The Operetta given this year, A Nautical Knot, was the most creditable event of the Glee Club singers. Although a large number of the members this year are Seniors we wish the organization the best of success in the future with a large addition of material next year. r flH Izia Jt: 103 more] We don ' t think much of the fellow who can ' t TjIow his own horn without going on a toot THE TI ®ijp iramattr (£lub Tlic fii-.s1 iiiceliiij of 1lic Laliii Dcaiiuitic Clui) -as held Friday, rictober 27, 1!)K), at 1li( ' lioiiic of iVIiss Aloiiess (. ook.

Officers were elected by ballot and steps taken to enlarge our financial bases; each person Avishing to belong to the or- ganization paying a fee of 25 cents. This fee and a card signed by the Secre- tary allows the bearer to attend all home games of footliall for 15 cents, for the coming season. It is the purpose of the above organization to promote athletics in every way possible and this seems almost impossible at times since interest in the school is poor and spirit, so much needed for success, on the verge of going out. However, athletics helped take care of thenjselves so it was that foot ball games were scheduled by Manager Albert Miner. Ti ' ips to various towns were made and the boys cei ' tainly pro- ' ed their ability to stay by their team, having won three out of five games played.

At the first call for pi ' actice forty-four candidates re- ported Avhich made the prosjjects for a winning team look very bright. Coach Rhoads from Wabash College, was secured to coach the team. Tom i ' razer, one of the best linemen on the 1915 squad, was elected captain and much credit must be given him in producing a Avinning team. Among the experienced players who reported for the first practice Avere : Captain Frazer, D. Brown, B. No1)le, C. Warner, L. Melick, E. Barringer, and R. Dye. With these faces again on the squad a Avin- ning team looked certain. With two Aveeks of hard practice the team met the Alumni aggregation and defeated them AAdth a score of 27-0. Not stopping at this the team Avorked still harder for another Aveek and on September 30 met the fast Ligonier team. In this game the team showed excellent form although it remained CA ' ident that a good goal kicker Avas badly needed. The Orange and Black boys defeated ther opponents to the tune of 36-0 score. Wanier and BroAvn played a great defensive game Avhile Dye and Barringer played an offensiA ' e game. IMelick scored one touch- doAvn, D- BroAvn, one, and Dye, four. Our next clash came Avith the strong Elkhart elcA en. With the A ' inning of the Ligonier game by such a decisiA e score, the local aggregation Avas be- lieved to be one of the strongest in years. As both teams niarched on RivervieAv field one could readily see confidence prhited upon each player ' s face. Out- weighed and Avith superior teamAvork the Elkhart team defeated old W. H. S. by the score 32-13. This being the closest score that these tAvo teams have played since 1908, Avhen the Warsaw-Elkhart teams played to a tie score of 5-5. In this game Noble got aAvay Avith a 60 yard run on the famous shoestring play, and planted the ball back of the. posts for an- other touchdoAvn. Barringer also made a 50 yard dash and shoAved his ability of using his interference. The last quarter Avas marked by a series of long passes from Quarter-back Dye to Melick, D. BroAvn, and Barringer. With 3 wards for a touchdoAvn time Avas called and the game ended. Next Ave journeyed to Wabash to battle our Southern Avearfers of the orange and the black.

At the close of the first half the score was 4-0 in favor of Peru. In the third quarter, Noble registered a beautiful 35 yard drop kick and in the fourth quar- ter Meliek received a forward pass and rolled the distance of one foot for a toucTTdown. Redmon, of Indiana University, not a faculty member of Peru, acted as their official. At Referee Bright ' s decision Peru protested and after a debate of twenty nunutes, forfeited the game to Warsaw. The original score should have been 9-7 in favor of Warsaw, biit as Peru had a vei-y slim chance of making a touchdown in the remaining two minutes of play, rather than to go home defeated thev forfeited the game.

Browii, Frazer and Dye. From the squad that turned out it appeared that there would be strong competition for positions upon the team. But because D. BroAvn, our star center, quit school and the ineligibility of Captain Miner and H. Brown, the prospects for a winning team vanished. Although being handicapped by the loss of these three stars we decided to finish the schedule. However, our bas- ket ball season wan very unsuccessful. On Friday evening, January fifth, the North Manchester boys came over to match their strength with the W. H. S. boys. This undoubtedly was the fastest game played on our floor this year. We won only by our last minute rally. At the opening of the second half the score stood 14-12 in favor of North Man- chester. And before Warsaw was upon her feet the Manchester forwards had registered five more field goals to their score. With a score of 12 points against them, the score being 12-24, the Wai-saw forwards took a brace and started things a-going. In the last five minutes of play, H.

Edith Richards was made general manager of the team. At first call for basket ball practice fifteen girls made their appearance in the small High School Gym. The prospects of a winning team were surely good. There Avere many chances for some scrubs to get on the team and each girl tried her best, and the re- sults Avere surprising indeed. For the first time in seven years, War- saw had the champion team of Northern Indiana. The first game was played Decem- ber 8, at Milford with the High School team there, and because it Avas the first game each girl AA as afraid of defeat and played her best. The team work on WarsaAv ' s part Avas fine and the game resulted in a score of 26-3 in WarsaAA ' s favor. On December 15, the second game Avas played Avith Ligonier High School on Ligonier ' s floor. Ligonier had a good team and it Avas a harder game for WarsaAv than the previous game had been. HoAvever, Avith good hard Avork the game, ended in War- saw ' s faA or, the score being 23-5. In this game WarsaAv ' s lineup Avas changed, Hattie Eogers taking Leone Mil- ler ' s place as second center, and succeeded in keeping it for the rest of the season. ■ On January 5, North Manchester came to WarsaAv Avith a determination to Avin. This was the first time any WarsaAv team had played North Manchester and Ave hardly kneAV Avhat to expect. HoAvever, Ave Avent into the game Avith high hopes Avhich Avere realized in a score of 28-7. On January 12 the Warsaw girls left for Elkhart, but not Avith the smiling faces they generally Avore. WarsaAv had not defeated Elkhart on her oaa ' u fioor in seven years. We Avere more doAvnhearted than ever Avhen the War- saw forAvards started to practice for baskets in the Elkhart Gym. But things soon changed Avhen the game began. The first half ended Avith a score 6-7 in Elkhart ' s favor. By this time the WarsaAV girls Avere somewhat encour- aged. The second half Elkhart put in four substitutes but even then WarsaAV kept even and the game ended Avith the score 14-13 in WarsaAv ' s favor.

The game ended in Warsaw ' s favor the score being 32-5. February 2, Jjigoiiicr came to Wai ' saw to try once again to defeat us. The game was )U)t as good as othei-s as it was so one-sided. Lisronier was defeated in a score 35-1. February 9, the Wai-saw gii ' ls stai ' ted for Xorth .Manchester thinking that they would surely have easy picking.

Upon their arrival they in- formed the Wai ' saw girls that they would be defeated: but they soon changed their minds. The home team was in pi-actice and played theii- best. The game ended in the scoi-e 28-8 in AVai-s;!w ' s favor. Elkhart finally had to admit that Warsaw had the best team. The first of March the High School girls went to Alilford to play a thii-d game with tliat team just for fun. Tliis was jirobably the roughest game Wai ' saw had played and when it was over the girls ■erv not (piite so friendly. Warsaw defeated Milford, tlie score being 35-6.

They really weren ' t a bad class to begin with — yes — we must go back to the beginning. In September, 1914, a period fanunis as the time when the great European war was just begun, we were conspicuous in High School, needing neither label nor sign to prove that we were — FRESIOIEX. We submitted to the usual jokes and teasings b - those who next year were in our class instead of 1 «9) 1 Y An echo is the only tiling ' that can heat a H.

We began to feel ac- climated to the constellations of the High School world — teachers, pi ' incipal, superintendent, school board and all and Ave wondered at the eighth grade pupils Avhose slogan seemed to be Ignorance is bliss. Our chief venture was the Glee Clul) and to that we flocked in numbers. We did not try to have aiiy class parties that year — Ave felt that really it might be AAdser to watch the Sophomores ' attempts in that line and see Avhere, Avhen, Avhy and hoAv they managed such things. In our Sophomore year Ave began to feel a groAving pride, — other Freshmen filled the little assembly and Ave Avere at last not the audience of the High School activities but we AA ' ere beginning to knoAv Avhat aa ' c Avere expected to do, and yet more important, Avhat Ave Avere capable of doing. Our attempt at a class affair turned out rather badly, Ave had a picnic arranged but, the day proving too rainy, Ave postponed it Avith the result that only thirteen could at- tend. Despite the so-called unlucky number Ave had a splendid time and by the time Ave had returned most of the ladies ' and brave knights ' countenances resembled nice ripe tomatoes, — ponderosas polished for the market — all from our first acquaintance Avith 1916 sun and Avind. When the next A acation Avas over Ave Avere happy at last to be Juniors. NeAi ' er before in our school life have Ave had so many things to attract our at- tention, things so Adtal and momentous, the doings of the Kaiser and the un- doings of Villa, and Avhat is Wilson going to do? And so many important things for us to do — Ave have had class elections and next Ave are going to have our class colors. We have been planning Avays and means of solving our fin- ancial problems as our class is small. Although small, Ave are a representative class for our High School pianist is a Junior, the illustrator of the Annual is a Junior and three of the fiA e girls in the operetta cast Avere Juniors. We have members in every society for Avhich they are eligible, and representatiA es in foot ball and boys ' and girls ' basket ball. We have looked back to our beginning, down upon the other Freshmen, Avithin upon our OAvn foolish impulses and ambiguous ambitions, Ave have looked about us to get oui ' bearings, up to our teachers, and forAvard to that Avonderful day Avhen Ave shall be Seniors. While Ave have a vision of ourselves as Seniors let us not count that our goal, let that be but a means to the attainment of our life ' s ambitions. And now may Ave next year, never Aveary nor feint hearted, all march into the Senior class Avith colors flying, not to replace this j ' ear ' s Seniors but to make a place for ourselves in the memory of the High School not to be a HAS BEEN class but to make up in quality Avhat our class lacks in numbers. r5i¥IMI 69 more] THE ' TiaEIR, 5:r51¥I®Xz [68 more 3(unt0r QIlaaB JSnll Balliet, Leah Bearst, Gladys Bowen, Joe Byrer, Harry Carles, Marjorie Catlin, Dorothy iJ2 C- Cox, Clarence i. t . _ rist, Mabelle Liebrock, Grace Miller, Burwjai j}C(.6«[inear, Eulo CO M. ijL yJurisi, iviaoeue i jj Ford, Burwyn CO- - Foxvog, Armagh W l Gerard, Dorothy ,iliilyGra.hner, John -- Hall, Iva iHeeter, Bernice • fHodges, Predrica •JEodges, Winifred olbrook, May Hover, Wilma iJij Jones, Dawn t Leedy, Vera ' r Lessig, Eleanor i pA Mitterling, Ople Parks, Ruth Peterson, Opal Phelps, Boyd ) ■ Phillips, Paul Pittenger, Lydia -iosebrugh, Dorothy Rose, Pearl Schue, Ruby Schrader, Reuben : Scott, Virginia v ' ' ( V oup, Mary Kathryn V Smith, Beatrice Stoops, Emmajeane Summy, Esther Tenney, Eldon Walbern, Mabel Willette, Gretchen Zimmer, Leah v3 Sr513ff Ii: ftlt 67 more] It is not necessary for a memlber of the staif to toe polished to see his finish HFmnrtam VILIDENE DESVOIGNE Born May 16, 1901 Died January 21, 1917 SritQGHIxIGjt sr [66 more THE TIOEia, zitOeMUfflt S 65 more] THE TIOEE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS X the fall of the year ' 13, tliere entered the halls of the Wai-saw Tligh School a worthy l)ody of students.

As they ascended the heights to the Junior class a sense of responsibility seemed to settle upon the class as a whole. This year they entered into prac- tically all activities of the High School. They were -well represented in foot ball, in basket ball, in the glee club, in the Operetta Sylvia, in the debating society, in the German club and many Avere members of the Athletic Asso- ciation. On February 1st, the class organized. Later class colors were chosen and a very fine class spirit was manifested. The class was proud of its unity and size, and challenged the valor of the Senior class in a close color engagement, no actual strife, hoAvever, occurring. The greatest social success of this year was the Junior-Senior banquet which was given at the Pythian home. Before school closed for the year the Juniors definitely decided upon pub- lishing an Annual in the Senior year and a staft was elected. The unity, co- operation and spirit of willingness to do ou the part of individuals, manifested throughout the Junior year — the factors that proved to be of such vital im- portance in the Senior year — are highly connuendable. Now, as we come to think of the Senior year of the class of which we have been speaking, the class of ' 17, our class, we cannot refrain from feeling that this year has proved more pleasant, more satisfactory, more productive of good work, because of the excellent foundation laid in the three years preced- ing. This year has been the croAAiiing year of our class. In this year we have realized what we could only hope to realize in years previous. One notable achievement has been the publication of the Tiger. From the first of the year the people connected with it have zealously labored that the undertaking might be a success. Few High Schools attempt to put out an Annual because of the unusual amount of time and labor necessary. Patience, tact and sound inethods are required to carry to success such a work. It is difficult to find words to justly laud such an accomplishment. The quality of the work in our Tiger speaker for itself. We have not only been intei-ested in our class but in the High School as a whole. We have contributed our members to every activity in the school. We have been well represented in the Glee Club whose officers are Seniors and have and have taken parts in the Nautical Knot given in ' 17. Again in ath- letics we have held worthy places. The captains of both the basket ball teams and the captain of the football team are members of our class. Though ath- letics in the school has been slightly handicapped the past year, we have scored frequently on the field and on the floor and have been recognized individually for good plays. With one exception, the entire membership of the debating society are Seniors. Good work has been done in this society. Our class play, The Freshman, was a noteworthy success. The cast was Avell selected. The play itself had the right spirit. The coach was competent and did excel- lent work. Now, fellow-classme)!, comrades throughout this short High School career we are finishing, may I as pi ' csident of my class, that class of ' 17 of which we have been so justly proud, make an attempt, at least to express the personal satisfaction and joy afforded me by the past year ' s work. I have always been proud of my class. I cannot begin to tell you what a pleasure it has been to me to have your confidence, your good will, to have class affairs glide so smoothly, so perfectly and without personal friction. It has, to my mind, undoubtedly required the exercise of unselfishness, and in some cases, perhaps, self-sacrifice on your part, to avoid unpleasantness, to ward off jealousy, and thus so satis- factorily to co-operate for the good of the whole class. Your work has been good. Much ijraise is due to you.

If we did, no one was the wiser. We looked with awe, yet with mischievous eyes at what we termed teachers. We had such high aspirations and such sedate opinions, that we really surprised the faculty. They had not had time to apply their knowledge of psychology. The faculty was made up of the following membei-s: Mr. Fisher, principal, was loved and i-espected by all. He did much for the advancement of the school standard. Miss Simons, the well ciualified English iiistr-uct()i ' , made the building seem a welcome place. Miss Sharp, really made us learn something as she made Algebra indelible Avith her most characteristic trait. Miss Rundquist, the Latin teacher, helped to make the atmo.sphere sociable. Miss Goshert, head of the culinary depai-tment, was natui-ally fond of the other sex. Miss Arnold, beater of time did not approve of working out harmony on Sunday. Art work Avas conducted by a worthy artist, ;Mrs. Webber. Mr. Woody conquered the German element. lie was a good scout and took the basket ball children under his A ing. Mr. Krug ' s pedagogy Avas somewhat interupted becau.se of his extremely romantic soul. Mr. Ashley, nature ' s symbol, administered agriculture. Mr. McAlpine was and is a good dictionary of life ' s problems. Ever ready and willing to give, we cheerfully promised to help solve the food problem for the penny supper to be given l)y liss Goshert ' s D. S. girls. A diptheria scare saved our generosity for the next time. November 21, 10 a. m. Time was actually thken off our studies to attend a tabernacle meeting conducted by Bob Jones. The faculty thought it might benefit the future government of our school. A great many of us, both boys and girls, joined the Athletic Association. The High School team won the skirmish against Winona Aggies on Thanksgiv- ing day because our class furnished scrul)s to uive them helpful practice and to I ' oot along the side lines during the game.

They were places where we leai-ned many things to the advancement of our knowledge. One of them being, that our instructor was not just a monument to Latin learning but a human being subject to heat and cold. 1 9) 1 7 Iiove Is a gfame in vrhlch we win when lioldingr the smaUest hands [50 more THIS TIOEE Thus Ave learned to apply the science of reasoning to all our professors and determined that they were just ordinary persons like us, only grown up. Hence not to be feared. During the course of six months, meetings were held at the homes of Edna Brown, George Oborn, Vernon Maish, Emerson Alleman and Donald Melick. We held our farewell party for Miss Rundquist at the home of George Oborn, and then the Latin club died as far as the school term was concerned. Miss Seamons, a lovely girl, instructed us in Latin the remainder of the year. Miss Eundquist returned to Warsaw for a visit in the summer. The Latin club had a hay rack party in her honor at the home of Wilma Tully. The Freshmen German element exerted a vast amount of strength in trying to obtain permission to organize a club, but it was of no avail. Two bob sled parties were held on the same evening. One by the Latin club after which we had a lovely time at Edna Brown ' s, the other was held by the Freshmen class at the home of Delta Jeffries. Our last Freshman class party was held at Edna Brown ' s home on the night of the Junior-Senior banquet. Mr. and Mrs. Guy were the chaperons. As there were only about seventy-five of us, it took nearly all evening to laddie the punch. We celebrated the evening to the fullest height, because it was our last party where good behavior was not expected from us. September 4, 1914, seventy-four of us began our Sophomore year, with the same professors with the exception of four ucav ones. Miss Jaques, music director, Avithout an equal, too deeply rooted by the monitor within, in the attainment of her profession, moves on undisturbed by suitors. She instituted a Glee Club, of which a number of us Avere members. Miss Thayer was our German teacher but a happy suitor came along and took her aAvay. Her place Avas filled by the capable Mjss Hehvig. Miss Herrick took charge of Latin. She Avas one of the most just and fair teachers Ave ever had. If stiidents couldn ' t get along Avith her it was their OAvn fault. The girls Avho Avere domestically inclined Avere delighted Avith Miss Rich- ards. Of course, all young teachers love to Avave the magic Avand of authority to impress their dignity. Miss Richards Avas already on the ship sailing to- Avards the sea of matrimony. Mr. Miller Avas commercial professor until spring fever set in. Then com- mercial learning Avas taught by an unlucky SAvan. He Avas a good teacher, nevertheless. Commercial teachers seem to love the culinary department. Mr. Robbins, principal, took charge of chemistr} Realizing the necessity of credits Ave did not have so many class social func- tions this year. By means of Athletics, Ave kept the physical side balanced Avith mental. Our Sophomore class party Avas held at the home of Rulo Minear. We enjoyed a delightful evening and best of all, good eats. 1915 saAV sixty-four of us termed as upper classmen. Basket ball teams were made up, mostly of jmiiors.

Two of our flass iiieiiilx ' ts, Kllen Wyiriond and Wjiifen (Jhisholm, were anions the priiu ij al char- acters. We also furnished our share of minor charaeters, or rather the chorus. In January we held a class nieetinj and elected Emerson Allenian, presi- dent; Warren Chisholm, icc-prcsidciit ; Lillian Walton, secretary; and Forrest fjeighty, treasurer. We decided tf) ive a haiiriuet at the K. of P. Jlome in -May in honor of the Senior Class. It as a rand success as amusements were contrived to suit different tastes. Juniors and Seniors showed their regard for each other })y holding their annual picnic together at Cripple (late Heights. Seniors, think of it ! Our last year in old High School, a very bu.sy one. There were only three pedagogs whose nervous sy.stems could stand the strain of our presence four years. Miss Simons, Miss Sharp, Ir. McAlpine. A new commercial teacher. Miss Haines, was employed this year. She cer- tainly was useful as well as ornamental in that department. The proof being that shirkers could not get by with their laziness. Mr. Rhoads, was quite an accomplished person. He was an inspiration to his science classes, especially did he cultivate the art of fiery oratory. !Mono- logue. Gentlemen, 1 shall throw your carcasses down the stairs if you cross my temper. His countenances even seem to have caused some maiden ' s heart to palpitate. Of course, considered wise, Seniors have the right-of-way in the High School. There is no organization that has higher ruling power unless it be the faculty. Even they woidd be won by the beauty of our persuasive class. Naturally, members of our class took more interest in the different organ- izations of the school because of the Annual. You know, indifference after your name would look terrible in black and white. The members of both basket ball teams were Seniors with the exception of the girls, Marcella Moon and Hattie Rogers. . The Glee Club boasted of a number of Seniors and also the Operetta. The Nautical Knot. W was better than any play ever given by the Glee Club, due mostly to the faithful leadership of Miss Jaques.

Look while you may for you will never again behold it so arrayed in its splendid garments or as students of the Warsaw High School. It is customary for people ' ho feel that their end is near to make a will or dispose of their earthly goods. So the class of 1917, knoAving that its days as a class are numbered are determined to make a legal disposal of its effects both real and personal to the under-classmen and faculty who will remain in the school a few more years. We, the Class of 1917, of Warsaw High School, City of Warsaw, County of Kosciusko, State of Indiana, knowing our days to be numbered and being of sound mind and memory do make and publish this, our last will and testament. First — Our class spirit, our parties and auto rides ; our love for our teach- ers ; our places on the south side of the Assembly room ; we will bequeath to the Freshmen Class. Second — Our class year book and all the worries connected with its pub- lication to the Sophomore Class. Third — All our organizations, recitations and witticisms we do bequeath to the Junior Class.

CARL C ' RIT?:s, . . ] ' . Witness: E. E. Rol)lji!is, ho has since our class became known to him tried to covei ' our foot pi ' ints in the sands of time. Mr. Houser, w ho has for the last time portrayed the cheerful faces of our class. Ollafifi Prnph ry HE last school day for recitations was over, and nio.st of the pupils Avere gone, except for a few laggai-ds in the halls and the teaeh- ei ' s who were still busy with school m oi-k, the building was empty. While I lingered, waiting to see one of the teachers, I slowly climl)ed the stairs to the Assenddy room. The big room seemed so empty and deserted, a poignant feeling of loneliness swept over it — and lue. 1 walked over to my old desk, almost reverentially, for no longer would I sit in it, no more would High School .ioys till my life. I sat there dreaming ami ninsing. thinking of the happy past of our cla.ss, and won- dering of its future, AVhat would be life ' s share for each one of us, how many would reach their goal? I can tell you, a voice said. 1 stai-ted up, for I did not realize that I had been talking out loud. T looked aliout the room, but 1 saw no one. I can tell you was repeated and I perceived that the s(nuid seemed to come from Ihc l)ust of an unknown god on the wall in the back of the room. Do tell me, 1 begged, tell me of the future of our class. Of whom would you know first? Who will be the most known and the most reimwned? Well, the voice chuckled, 1 do not know regarding the most renowned. but Harold Troup will be the most known. Realizing his personal assets, he will make use of liis smile. He w ill be the most known for his beaming coun- tenance w bicli w ill be posted on liillboards all over the country, advertising a superior kiiul of toothpaste. Aiul ( ntlierine rinljiott will l e the most popular woman in a snudl West- ern town, where she w ill give ilanciug lessons to the ranchers and city folks alike. With her will be also Tomaline Riclmi-ds. who has made a small for- SrrftOGI®!! Know thyself but keep it to thyself [44 mor« tune teaching school, and incidentally teaching the natives the wiles and charms of an Eastern girl. What will the rest of that crowd do? I asked. Vera Elder will, of course, marry a certain tall youth and they together, here in Warsaw will run the most modern and efficient laundry in Northern Indiana. Then those other tA o girls, Hilda Finton and Alberta Menzie Avill do lyceum work, singing and toe dancing and wiir even startle some Chau- tauqua crowds. What about Tom Frazer, will he become the newspaper man as he thinks he will? Yes, Tom growing tired of peddling papers will buy out the papers in this town. What time he will not spend fii-ing office boys and coaching re- porters, he will spend in the restaurant owned by Ben McKrill. Habits are terrible things to break, and Tom ' s habit of eating at all hours is slowly mak- ing Ben wealthy. What will the president of our class do? Warren Chisholm will return to the South, and in true Southern style live up to his school nickname of Colonel and will also, with the ripening of his poetic ability, become a poet of renown. Forrest Leighty, following the cus- toms of some musicians, will leave his hair grovv long and will be the pam- pered pet of musical circles. Even the Gernmns will acknowledge his genius! Please tell me something about the girls who don ' t believe in careers but do believe in nmtrimony, I asked, and this answer came to me, Flora Thomas, having dazzled all you.r eyes this year with her diamond, will be the proud mistress of a fine home and family. Her cakes and pies will always win prizes at county fairs and bring the most money at church bazaars. I might have known that, I interupted, she always could cook better than any of the rest of us in Domestic Science. And then, the voice went on, Delta Jeffries will marry a man twice her size whom she will manage so wonderfully, that he will never know that he is tied to a woman ' s apron strings. Marguerite Cain will also marry a rich young farmer who Avill think her the best little woman in the world. Eichard Robinson, winning fame in the small Avar with the Hula Hula warriors, somewhere in the South Sea Islands will be made Colonel in the army. Other members of your class Avill be concerned in this war. Wilma Tully will drive daringly an aeroplane, doing excellent work reconnoitering. Lois Sellers Avill be honored for her work as a field nurse and will marry the king of the Hula Hula ' s, having saved his life. I would like to know regarding those of our class Avho will remain in Warsaw, I said. Albert Miner will first go to an Eastern college Avhere his ability to re- main a Freshman for several years Avill make him quite popular. He Avill later return to Warsaw and become some sort of a business man, with Mildred Nor- ris as his stenographer. It Avill often be hinted that his stenographer Avill knoAv more about his business than the owner himself. Others remaining in or near WarsaAV will be Leroy Kantner and Ancil Valentine, Avho will operate a model dairy holding a monopoly of the milk supply for WarsaAv and Avill regulate 1 ?3) 1 T 43 more] life is just one annual after another TIHIIS TIOEl ])ii( ' cs 1o suit Iticnisclvcs.

Are no others of the class ' jiti ' iwu: into politics? I wanted to know. Yes, Ralph () ler will nin for j)resident of the United States on the Pac- ifists ' tieket and will he defeated by a few thousand votes. Another political factor in your class will be Semeraiiiis Kutz. She will be the first woman sena- tor from Indiana and will do lier work well, ituilding fine public buildin(n in Monoquet, Clunette and Warsaw. Count on Semeramis, said 1, for doing such things. What other girls will have careers? Eva Houser will own and operate a big moving picture corporation in Southern California. Her star will be Lillian Walton, worshipped and adored by movie fans all ovci- the country. Myrtle Smith will become an architect, building beautiful buildings at lower prices than her men competitoi-s. Valda Eichholtz will become, in addition to making a good Avife for some lucky man, an artist. Her paintings, some of them which will out-futuj-e futurist pictures, will adorn her home and her fi-iend ' s. JCllen Wymond, having put a great deal of money and time training her voice, will at last i)ecome a great grand opera star. She will tour the Avorld in her work and will sing in the capitals of all countries winning a w ondei ' ful success. Lelah loon will run a beauty pai-lor, her ability to dress herself up being her best advertisement. Will any of us make any discoveries in science that will be worth while? I then asked. Yes, Rupert Lehman will become an astronomer of note. He will discover a comet which will be named for him; however, his fame will come after his death and he will not realize what a great man he is. Billie Orr will spend all his time and his and other people ' s money trying to make a perpetual motion machine, despite the fact that Prof. Rhoads this year tried to prove to him the impossibility of such a thing. Li another line of Avork Ivel Baer and Bessie Holbrook will make a great deal of money. Believing that all people, especially women, can be easily tricked they will prepare a skin lotion, advertised to make all usei-s be beauti- ful. Since a bottle of the pi-eparation will sell for fifty cents and its cost about ten cents and since great will be the sale of said lotion, their profit will be enormous.

Lyda Kelly and Etouria Marvel will also go to Chicago. Lyda will be- come a physical culture teacher in a school and Etouria will own and operate a candy shop which Avill bring in much profit. Here in Warsaw Viola Neher will become an agent and demonstrator for Fords. Raymond Dye having finally worn out his Saxon will take it to pieces and with some more chunk build a new car, patent it and then sell cars like it all over the country. The Japanese having immigrated to western U. S. in great numbers, Ralph Byrer will become vitally interested in the Japanese question. Wishing to prove the equality of the yellow and white races, he will marry a Japanese wo- man and in time both will be very sorry that Ralph ever had such an idea. United States having annexed Mexico, Mabel Tusing and Grace Snellen- berger will go to Mexico to educate the heathen. They will have some ex- citing adventures but Avill finally convert two of the bandits. Charles Zolman will own a pool room on the main street of Warsaw and will operate it to the satisfaction of every loafer in toAvn. Darius Pinton Avill own a green house. He Avill also experiment in groAv- ing floAvers and in making ucav specimens, producing many beautiful plants. ' ' Lauren Melick will actually become a Doctor and Avill go about the coun- try lecturing to boys on the evils of cigarette smoking. Harold Alleman, having acquired a monacle, the habit of smoking im- ported cigarettes, and a foreign accent, Avill Avrite snappy short stories for the most popular magazine in the country. George Oborn and Dewey Miner will become traveling evangelists, pound- ing and denouncing from pulpits all over the country, the AvayAvard tendencies of this generation. Now there are only tAvo more in your class to tell about, Edith Anglin and yourself. Edith Avill become a society Avoman in Pittsburgh and ' ' Wake up ! Wake up !

Naught saw I of storm or tempest, All was calm and wondrous pleasant. This, the voice said, speaking softly, Is the school you are now leaving. In the harbor bright and rippling, There appeared some learned pilots, — Pilots Avise and good and pleasant. Men they were avIio knew their business. On the shore and in the harbor Many youthful students, learning, — Learning how to use the compass, How to furl the sails in tempest. How to wisely use the breezes. How avoid the aA ' ful breakers. On the ocean they must traverse. Some there were who liked to idle, — Gath ' ring pebbles on the sea shore. Paddling in the rippling water. Anything but learn the lessons That the pilot sought to teach them. Others love to work and study, Strove theii ' best to run their vessels, Strove to profit by instructions. For each year a class departed : Sailors, starting on the ocean. Leaving pilots all behind them, The faculty may be cracked, but so is the Iiltierty BeU [40 more THE TiaES Each must guide his own bark, seaward, If in harbor they had studied. Studiously they ' d learned their lessons, Then, upon the ocean stormy, They kneAV how to use the compass. They would miss the perilous icebergs. And the storms could safely Aveather. But if, safely in the harbor, They had spent their hours in idling, Gath ' ring pebbles on the seashore. Paddling idly in the waters, — Then when storms on sea assail them They Avould end in awful shipwreck. Knowing not the way to handle Safely now, their little vessel. We have been within the harbor. Taught by teachers wise and learned, — Teachers who have sailed the ocean. Whose experiences have taught them How to sail their vessels safely On Life ' s ocean dark and dangerous, How to counsel us with Avisdom. Few of us have gathered pebbles. Rather have we grasped our chances. Wisely learning from our pilots Lessons ne ' er to be forgotten. May our Class of Sev ' nteen, leaving Now our harbor in the High School, Ent ' ring on Life ' s Ocean voyage. Find the passage very pleasant. May we hoist our sails, undaunted. Bravely go to meet the Future, Safely pass by every iceberg. Safely sail through every tempest. Safely find our route, uncharted; And in that far distant harbor In the land of Life Eternal, May w e come to anchor safely, Not a single one be missing,- — Every vessel come to anchor. VIOLA C.

Years of specialization have made Stafford organiza- tion unusually expert in engraving and designing for college and school publications. The most modern shop equipment gives us every facility for prompt production of quality etchings, halftones and color plates. Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid-blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper, and sharper etch than the tub method generally used. Printers like Stafford plates because it makes it easier for them to give you a first-class job. The Stafford hand-book, Engraving for College and School Publications, containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, gives valuable suggestions for planning your publication, preparing copy and or- dering engravings. It prevents costly mistakes and assures you of highest quality engravings at lowest cost. We do not sell this book — we merely lend it with- out charge to the staff of each publication for which we make the engravings. In addition to the general assistance of this hand- book, we give you also our direct and individual co- operation. Stafford engravings and Stafford co-operation will help to assure the success of any college or school publication. FREE This is the book that we loan without charge to the staff of every publication for which we make the en- gravings. We have a large depart- ment devoted exclusively to copperplate engraving and steel-die embossing. We can give you quality and service on your com- mencement invitation, fra- ternity stationery, visiting cards and any other work of this character. Samples with prices on request.
