THE TIOEIH, HIS — the thii1 -iiiiith year of Warsaw High School life has been an unusually happy one. 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.

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.
