This year a very capable committee was chosen to select the designs. This com- mittee chose the design submitted by the Herf-Jones Company of Indianapolis. Every member of the Senior Class is satisfied and wishes to take this opportunity to thank the jewelers for the willing co-operation they have given, and recommend them to any future senior classes.

After all we have had a successful administration, with repre- sentative students in office. Much can be said in behalf of the Senior Cabinet. Their wise judgment and superior intellect has carried on the basic principles of a class which has upheld the traditions of the Alma Mater and the community. They can be highly commended for their excellent super- vision of all Senior functions and meetings.

' V mv Y ' A Y X Y A v AWAW Page Forty-nine m mm AWAMfmrnmij) Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1926, of the East Chicago High School, admitted even by the Juniors to be the best class in the history of this school, do declare this to be our last will and testament: Item 1. To the class of 1927, we bequeath the portals of knowledge, which we found covered with dust and which by hard labor we have succeeded in rendering spotless. We sincerely hope that the class of 1927 will leave them in the same condition as they are bequeathed. Item 2. To the class of 1928, we do hereby leave all unjust debts which we may have contracted in our four years here. We hope that by doing this they will have cleansed our honorable name and reputation of its only blemish. Item 3. To the Freshman class we donate those powers by which they may attain a greater degree of dignity, eliminating in the future all childish and inferior pursuits. Item 4. Gladys Bistline leaves her enviable slim figure to Bernice Matthews. Item 5. Joe Wasco leaves his collegiate moustache to William Lowe, knowing he has been trying to grow one. Item 6. Nelson Hoople wills his jacket (ventilated at the elbows) to William Pratt. Item 7. Elizabeth Matusz leaves her golden tresses to Virginia Murton. Item 8. Ronald Wickey wills his position in the Olympia to Louis Boor. Item 9. Howard Petersen gives his ability to use a corner of a page in his English book as a fingernail file to Sidney Blumenthal. Item 10. Sophia Stewart donates her power of mastering the Charleston to Earl Forster, providing he enters the contest at the Indiana Theatre regularly every Monday. Item 11. Jerome Seifer bequeathes his position as biggest man in the Senior class to Miles Vasser. Item 12. Martin Sirlin leaves his eternal lumberjacket to Cecil Roop, knowing it will match his lavender suspenders. Item 13. Mary Ann Lewis leaves her baby ways and changeable hair cut to Miss Axel. Item 14. Edmund Kowalski and Norman Mintz will their quiet, shy way and their popularity with the teachers to Lillian Lipner. Item 15. Carl Dahlin leaves his luxurious hair to Alex Sax. Item 16. John Gallik wills his ability to make speeches in assembly to Nick Brunsic. Item 1 7. Shirley Carlson donates her false wig to Marshall Fish. yA y ' «Nr A ' ' y A V A y A Y A V A V Page Fifty w mm m ' AWMM A i ' AWj Item 18. Allan Hindmarch leaves his artistic ability to any Junior who is capable to handle it. (Juniors, beware 1 We warn you not to attempt the impossible.) Item 19. Emerson Varner bequeathes the sole right to use his famous Southern drawl to Eva Robinson, knowing she is qualified to use it. Item 20. Edwin Bankowski wills his Oxford Bags and long side-burns to whoever has enough nerve to Wear them. Item 21. Helen Foster is gracious enough to leave one of her dimples to Mr. Lahr to flash on his assembly audience. Item 22. Maurice Murphy donates his popularity with the girls to William Weinburg, since he seems to need it. Item 23. Owen Nesbit leaves his dignified, scholarly looks to Marian Petersen, in hopes that she will make use of them. Item 24. Christy. Ann Walpole bequeathes her school-girl complexion to Marie Item 25. Frieda Kaufman wills her Paris gowns to Agnes Kelly, since they are almost equal in size. Item 26. Nick Dann, Harry Ackroyd and others donate their quiet rub- ber-heeled shoes to Bob Dickson, as he does not make enough noise. Item 27. Leo Laczi leaves his place in the student council to whoever can hold it as long as he has. Item 28. Norma Graham bequeathes her ability to produce discordant music to any and all of the Juniors. Item 29. The famous Senior athletes leave their prowess to any or all of the lower-classmen, hoping that they will uphold the reputation of said Seniors. Item 30. The class of ' 26, in the generosity of their last moments here, do hereby allow the remaining struggling classes to help themselves freely and without restraint to any Senior property left behind; providing they treat said property with all the respect due to articles formerly owned by Seniors. Final Item. We do hereby appoint Mr. Reeves the sole executor of this, our last will and testament. We hereunto set our hand in witness of this on this eleventh day of June, nineteen-hundred and twenty-six. The Class of Twenty-Six. Through its Attorneys, Jennie Darin, ' 26. Ronald Wickey, ' 26. Witnesses : Jean Templeton, ' 26. William C Lowe, ' 27. Page Fifty-one I WAVy AVV AV AVV AVWAVV AVy ' mAwmyM{ jm :m vyM ymi Class History No class ever entered more solemnly upon its Freshman year, or departed from it more joyously than the Freshman class of ' 23. The teachers always took an interest in us for we won their hearts from the very beginning. The crowning event of the year, as far as social events are concerned, was the Fresh- man party. The autumn of ' 24 found the plucky Freshmen again congregated in the school halls. Through the marvelous processes of evolution common to early high school life, we were now familiarly known as Sophs . We had reached a second degree of development and bravely undertook the problems of our second year. The Freshmen of ' 23 were marvelously changed. Gigantic in stature, rich in wisdom, strong in gray matter, they still possessed their characteristic spirit — that of doing the square thing in the square way. The Sophomore Hop, our first evening party, was a very enjoyable affair. It was a very great thing to be a Junior. Everyone who saw us during our Junior year will readily admit this. We were satisfactory — if not to our in- structors, at least to ourselves. Our members distinguished them selves in many ways and reflected honor impartially upon the whole, the main object being to keep ourselves before the rest of the school. The Junior Prom was the success of the year. Our class officers were Helen Foster, Arnold Rodda, and Harold Sterling. At last we reached our Senior year! And what a happy lot of Seniors we have been, too. In reality, we have been a long time on the way, but to us it seems, oh! so short. The memory of these four years will always be a source of pleasure when we are gone. The Hallowe ' en and St. Patrick ' s parties were great successes, but the outstanding event was the Senior Prom. However, like our predecessors, we have had our difficulties to overcome. I ' m not going to say that the Class of ' 26 is the best class that has ever gone through this high school (although we may think it), but we do feel that we have done our share to honor the East Chicago High School. With Miss Stockberger and Mr. Mills as our sponsors, and Clem Kiel- basa, Bessie Waupsh and Gig Smith as our officers, this class was destined to achieve many things. Should one attempt to mention all of its brilliant tri- umphs, far more time and space would be needed than is available. In the class room, on the athletic field and in social circles, the Senior of today, the graduate of ' 26 is the brilliant scholar, the victorious athlete and the popular com- panion. And now that we are Seniors, and have finished our high school educa- tion, we must leave old E, C, H, S.. perhaps only to learn that we are not so wise as we thought ourselves to be. But this we do know: When we have left this dear old school. Upon our graduation. Another throng shall sing our song Of noble adoration; The memory of our High School life Shall never fade, no never. We ' ll all be true to our old East Chicago, And the Maroon and White forever. % ' V y A y fflvV AWA y A V A V Page Fifty-two rtr S Y AY ' A V ' A Y A V A y AWK Page Fifty-three First Row — Colantonio, Drazich, Calhoun, Senko, Lawhorne, Bartnick.

They broaden the knowledge of the student in regard to things happening around them, pro- mote school unity, illustrate the value of organizations, as well as demonstrate local talent. Our programs this year have been unusually good. Our finest dramatic, musical, and artistic resources have been drawn upon to furnish uplifting enter- tainment for the East Chicago High School. Among the programs of the year the Christmas program stands out, with its beautiful stage setting and dignified program in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. A committee chosen from the faculty is in charge of these programs and the high quality of the assemblies is due to this committee. This committee con- sists of Mr. Lahr, chairman; Miss McClellan of the dramatic department. Miss Jaynes of the art department, and Miss Shearer of the music department. A Poem Our high school days are over Very sorry we are to say. But we shall be together once more On our commencement day. Our high school days are over Very glad we are to say. For we know that we have learned many things To help us on life ' s way. Our high school days are over Many memories they hold in store Of the good old times, the good old deeds That we had in years before. When we ' re on life ' s highway And caught in its whirlpool. Our hearts with pride will swell As we think of our old High School. ' A V y « V A y A y A WA V « Y A WA y Page Sixty M AmmjM ' yAmmm A i ' yA Parody The entire city assumed a subtle air, as it was preparing to receive its hon- ored guest. Austere men and women do not prattle but labor, housewives dust everything: Feathers, Stone, furniture, etc., and children administered their finishing touches. In the midst of all confusion one could hear Lou Cuss at John ' s son for im- peding her progress. She realized that it was late, for she could see through the Bush that smoke ceased to pour from the Mills. The Brill sisters were calling their Papin to dinner. Their words did not Melt on his ears, as he was watch- ing some Keane Jaynes ringing his neighbor ' s Bell. Instead of going with the rest of the crowd, Mac, Lellen, and Lind, de- cided to make hay while the sun shone. The object of all excitement was the arrival of the King who was bringing with him a Japanese Cooley. Mark Lee, says I, Look at Miss Hurst. She wants to Thrash her Cook because she gave Flinn an Overpeck of potatoes and a bottle of Cald- well ' s syrup of Pepsin without pay. She wants to Walk Her to Jacoby ' s and Kellam both. They report that at the Burgess of Lahr, Randall Woodbury MacDon- ald received word from the King. He states that he is detained a t the town of Stockberger. His car, an old dilapidated Haynes, crashed into a Wall. He had to get the Oilar and get the Axel fixed. Miss Mur Ray is very jealous of her neighbor, Mrs. Elly Utt. because she is a widow. Her husband left her lots of Cash so she is bedecked with Shearer finery than even Mrs. Lundeen. Mrs. Elly Utt is to be escorted by Messrs. Moriarity and Reeves, to see the King. While the Parson is pronouncing a benediction he sees a group gathering at the next thoroughfare. Oh! The King has arrived! Is he not handsome? After looking at everyone, the King without a moment ' s notice Putz his hand over his mouth and calls for Tom ' s son to come over. He gives him a Zigler Bar. Danks, said the small Miller ' s son. Then in a broad southern drawl, he says, Mac Say fellows, how you all lak ' s dis ruse?

Many came out. and the material looked good but needed developing. Coach Cash was here for that purpose so he took them in hand and had a wonderful team developed at the end of the season. Although the scores stand in favor of our opponents in some games, they do not indicate the closeness of the games. In the Catholic Central High game the team was defeated, but only because the team was in the making. In the Mishawaka game the team showed up much better and gave their opponents a good scrap. Then the gang tied the Mich- igan City team 0-0 to show how they could scrap. Our Grange or Harry Taylor, tore off one of his sensational runs, in this particular game and placed tl e team in scoring a tie. In the later games East Chicago was easily the best team, using trick plays to an advantage, and our Four Horsemen executed the plays with outstanding cleverness. During the rest of the year the boys were busy making sensational runs, tearing up the opponents ' line, so that it took all their fighting ability to put it back again. The line now is an experienced machine, and only one. Big Boy Dahlin, will be lost by graduation. The backfield, all but Putno, played their last games for old East Chicago High School. Dan Biers, John Collins, and Furticella are promising material for the backfield positions. Harry Taylor covered himself with glory in the Froebel game, and he well deserved it, for it was due to him that the Froebelites were held to a standstill, Harry reached up in the air on his own twenty-yard line, snared one of Froebel ' s passes, and raced eighty yards for a touchdown that tied the score. Coach Cash is to be complimented on his wonderful work with the boys, in developing a green team into a winning one. and for his perseverance on a seemingly hopeless task. The boys are out to win and we know they ' ll do it. Spring practice is being held to get the boys in trim for the coming football year.

Cash, this year. East Chicago, winner of the Lake County Basketball tournament, has re- ceived only five defeats to fifteen shining victories. The first game with the powerful LaPorte quintet spelled defeat for the Maroons, but East Chicago was pleased with the showing her warriors made, for they played a wonderful game. The game with the Alumni, showed this year ' s team far superior to other teams, by defeating them by an eight point margin. The team continued to be de- feated for four consecutive games, each game being dropped by a close score. Then came a- turn in the tide and East Chicago piled up a record of nine consecutive wins and through the rest of the season we were defeated only by Emerson, which team we beat by a seven-point margin in the tournament. In the beginning of the second semester, Joner came back to finish his schooling with us, and with Red, Fish, Mike, Putno, and Joner as regulars we scampered away with the tournament honors. When the team traveled to Gary to cross swords with the undefeated Froe- belites, we went with the determination to win. By clean fight and good sports- manship we came out on top. This was the first defeat Froebel had suffered. After this they lost four more games, one of these losses being also to the credit of the Maroons. Our next important victories were over Hammond and Whiting. De- feating both teams twice we looked forward to taking the Sectional Tourney. On March fifth and sixth East Chicago was again host to the Lake County Sectional Tourney. We won the first game from Lowell by a comfortable margin, and took on the Norsemen the next afternoon. We defeated this pow- erful machine by a seven point margin. Then Whiting was the third victim of the Maroons ' powerful drive to win the tournament. We boast of the finest working basketball machine in this part of the state, and our claims are well placed, as our boys ' actions verify every word of such a statement. Only through hard luck did East Chicago lose the Regional Tourney, not because of any raw deals from referees, nor have we any worn- out alibis to offer, but we lost by just plain hard luck.

They have shown exceptional playing qualities throughout the sea- son. Such stars as Nick Palla, John Emmett, Gordon Heim. and other promising players will be on the first squad next year as none of them are Seniors. The spills and thrills were supplied by the boys in the curtain raisers for the big games. Much is expected of these boys for the 1927 season for they are the making of the next year ' s tournament winners.

A wonderful recor d indeed for any high school nine. In the hands of John McShane these boys fought all the season to hold that undisputed claim for state honors. East Chicago had little trouble down- ing all the local nines around the Calumet district, but her outside games were hotly contested, as the other nines outside the local district were also in- terested in that coveted title: but it was not to be taken away while the team W. s still able to bat a ball. Opening the season the Catholic Central High tasted the sting of defeat at the hands of the locals. Then in return our boys literally swamped them to the tune of 23 to 0, one of those frequent shut-outs for which the boys were famous. At the close of the season East Chicago was scheduled to play the strong Mount Carmel Nine of Chicago, but for some mysterious reason the Mount Carmel boys failed to show up, so the team had to be content with beating the second team to the lopsided score of 38 to 1. The infield, the batting, and the outfield were the best anyone could find throughout the state. Everything in the infieldj was out, with the boys clamp- ing down on every ball that came their way, also every thing to the outfield was out; so the other boys had to be content with hitting over the fence or not at all. The former type of hitting was very rare so you can readily see the reason for repeated successes during the entire year. Coach McShane has done a wonderful job and is still at it for the boys have just won the twenty-seventh straight victory. There is always a little changing to make in the line-ups as new ones come in, and now each boy is fitted for his position and plays consistently, which is the secret for our lads ' success. Among the boys playing their last games for the high school are the versatile Harry Taylor and Clem Kielbasa, and the first four letter man since nineteen twenty-two, John Gallik. The heavy hitting Swede will soon bat his last high school baseball over the fence. Joe Karmilowicz will do his final twirling from the mound, leaving his position to the worthy southpaw, John Emmett. Mike Paulson will cease to have his name in the sports ' section of the high school paper. We shall miss these boys, and wish them the best of luck in the outside world. rtr V Y «« A Y A V A y A Page Seventy-seven VA yA rA y A v MY A Y A v Page Suventy-eighl ' rmv AY A YAA Y A Y A Y AWX Y A Page Seventy-nine 5 mwj!s m v.

These were the only two entries in the state meet from East Chicago and they took fifth place in the state meet, against ten different schools. Virgil Heim took third place in the county meet in the breast stroke but did not go down state. This was East Chicago ' s first year in the aquatic sport; Coach Clark states that first and second in a state meet isn ' t so bad. Only three boys will be lost by graduation so we may look forward to a successful season next year, with promising stars like Joe Yansic, Dave Goodall, John Genisauski, Franklin Glenn, and a state champ.

The Band has had one of the most successful years of its career. Remem- ber when the Band went to Indianapolis? They showed those folks that East Chicago was on the map. And when the Band won second place in the County Contest? Too much credit cannot be given to this industrious and helpful organ- ization which is directed by Mr. Burroughs.

The Orchestra The Orchestra last year rose to the top, when it snatched the cup from under the noses of all the other contestants. The Orchestra this year is com- posed of a group of happy and enthusiastic workers who repeated the per- formance and demonstrated the musical talent of the E. C. H. S. The Orchestra members are working hard for their medals. Many will receive the second and third year medals and some will receive a medal for four years ' service. The Orchestra is one of the biggest aids in putting across the high school plays. We all owe much to the organization, and appreciate the good work. V ? ' V !

The main purpose of the society is to develop the dramatic talent of the students by giving school programs and finished public performances. Due to the excellent supervision of Miss McClellan, this organization has achieved a unique place in school activities. Some of their outstanding programs were the presentations of the fol- lowing plays and entertainments: Mannikin and Minnikin, Hunger, The Drudge. Robbery.

The story centers around Mrs. Wellman, a social climber, who drags her family to a resort in Canada, ostensibly for the sake of her husband ' s health, but in reality to separate her daughter from a poor suitor, and give the advan- tage to the wealthy suitor, Hugh Killroy. The beautifully advertised resort turns out to be a run-down house in the Heart of Canada ' s swamp region. Complications arise when both suitors follow the Wellmans. In the end the poor suitor proves his worth and the rich Mr. Killroy shows himself a scoundrel.

The plot centered around a beautiful country girl who joined an amusing movie troup and became a star. The cast was supported by a chorus of fourteen girls and fourteen boys. Due to the efforts of Miss Jaynes and Mr. Fauber, the stage was trans- formed into a veritable rose-garden. The cast and chorus were trained by Miss McClellan, Miss Shearer, and Mr. Keane. Mr. Berquist ' s orchestra furnished the music for this delightful entertainment, and Mr. Elliot was the business manager.

The competition for places was fully as keen as that for the principal parts. Miss McClellan was at her post observing the grace and ease of movement dis- played by the possible candidates at all of the after school dances. The chosen few considered themselves very fortunate indeed and danced in a very creditable manner.

On the memorable days of April 8 and 9, there were hundreds of loyal East Chicagoans supporting the various entries at the Hammond High School. There were eleven schools represented and East Chicago received the highest averages in winners. The mixed chorus under the direction of Miss Shearer won first place, and the Girls ' Glee Club, also directed by Miss Shearer, won second place. The Orchestra, directed by Mr. Berquist, was awarded first place, and the Band took third place. In the oratorical and declamatory contest John Groves and Audrey Smith won second place for the boys and girls respectively. They were trained by Miss McClellan. A new feature was introduced in the County Contest this year, shorthand and typewriting being added to the contest. Miss Putz ' s team won first place in shorthand for East Chicago. We hope to win first place in everything next year. State Discussion Contest East Chicago High School does not make a practice of entering the State Discussion Contest, but owing to the efforts of Mr. Bush we entered this year. The contest for Lake County was held in our building March 25. The subject was, Resolved, the county unit system of rural school administration be adopted in Indiana. The decisions, made by Mr. Feik, Mr. Lahr, and Mr. Sigler, were very close. Pearl Herskovitz and Lloyd Herskovitz tied for first place, John Groves and Howard Peterson tiecf for second place, and Fannie Smulevitz was given third honors. Pearl Herskovitz was selected to represent Lake County in the district contest at Monticello April 9.

In the local contest Audrey Smith re- ceived first and Helen Foster second places. Audrey interpreted Mon Pierre beauti- fully. Her dramatic technique and versa- tility have won favor both in stage and par- lor recitals. Miss Audrey again conferred honor upon the school by receiving the second award in the county declamatory contest. Oratorical Contest The honors of the boys ' division of the local contest were divided between John Groves, who received first place, and How- ard Peterson, who was awarded second. John was well qualified for oratory as he had just finished a season of debating. His selection, Mob and Law, was eloquently and masterfully given on the rostrum of the Washington High School and also at Ham- mond Industrial High School, where he re- ceived the second award in the County Con- test. : mY S Y XN A Y ffl V AW A Page Ninety-seven Debating Team The forensic fireworks displayed by our debating teams this year will not be forgotten by underclassmen for a long time to come. It is said that the debating teams, under the coaching of Mr. Bush, are the best the school has produced; the Seniors are ready to confirm this statement as all debators belong to the senior class. The debating season is almost over, and the East Chicago High School debators have made a name for themselves, because of their enviable record and unparalleled successes this year. The team had the following schedule this year: Affirm. ltive Negative Ronald Wickel, Captain Pearl Herskovitz.

AWAW WA yAWi yyAWAWAvyyAVWA yyAWA y The Social Events of the Year ' Twas Hallowe ' en night that the Seniors played their little pranks and tripped the light fantastic. The gym was transformed into a great melting pot where every one mingled, from Terry Druggan and ' Trankie Lake in stripes, to the Gold Dust Twins ' in sacks. Pumpkins stood in the corners making faces, as if jealous of the merry-makers that danced to the music fur- nished by Robert Dickson ' s Merry Gang. One hundred sophisticated Sophomores held their class cotillion on Feb- ruary 19. Old-fashioned dances were featured. It is impossible to believe that the waltz, a popular dance of long ago, was danced perfectly and made a greater hit than the Charleston. The future intellects, the Juniors, assembled March 25 to spend a pleasant evening. Of course, they enjoyed one another ' s company, but the Seniors ' poise and sociability were lacking. The Seniors displayed their undeniable originality and cleverness at their party on the eve of April 8. Since the atmosphere of the spacious room was so enchanting, many unique stunts were pulled off by the dexterous participants. The Olympians, each with his favorite Miss, held their annual party on April 1 6. Everyone knew what to expect and every expectation was ful- filled to the ' nth degree. Everyone had a wonderful time, due to the inde- fatigable efforts of the sponsor and officers who are without a peer. The Quill and Staff gave its yearly forever-talked-about formal April 30. There has always been some surprise in store for the merry-makers and they have not been disappointed this year. With so much talent that the Websters are credited with, their party May 21 could not help but be a success. Since it was so near the Seniors ' departure, they made their affair one which the Seniors shall never forget. The farewell to all high school social functions was held June 1 1 . The Senioi Prom, the most spectacular event of the school year, had at last arrived. The beautifully decorated gym was a magnificent scene of gorgeously attired, bright-eyed maidens and handsome youths swaying to Let Us Waltz as We Say Goodbye, each dreading the inevitable 11:30 which marked the finale of their high school career. And lastly the farewell of the Juniors and the Faculty to the Class of 1926. The spotlight of distinction was thrown on the Seniors for the last time at the Junior Faculty Reception, June 14. The Juniors have shown that they have acquired the poise, originality, and pull already required of those who wish to reach the almost unattainable heights, so we, the Class of ' 26, willingly give up our prestige to those who so eagerly have followed in our footsteps. ymYyAYyA Y A YyA v y0m y w Page Ninety -nine imw m ' Awm z mA ' - y Mi ' ' : M A: ' --yAim v A ami Our Organizations Our high school organizations are of inestimable value to the students collectively and individually. They are a vital part of our school life, as school activities cannot be carried on without organized effort, and they provide aesthetic and cul- tural value to the student as well. Through organization and student co-operation has be- come a reality instead of an ideal. Societies offer students op- portunities for a detailed knowledge of subjects which hold their interest, unusual advantages in social life, and compan- ionship with fellow students. The music and dramatic organizations play a big part in all school affairs, and provide unusual training for their mem- bers. The department clubs and debating societies attract stu- dents particularly interested and active in their respective work. New clubs are constantly being created to meet the needs of the student body. The fact that our organizations are so successful must be attributed to both students and faculty. We must not lose sight of the fact that faculty members have given much of their time and efforts in building and promoting societies.

The purpose of the organization is twofold: first, to promote clean sportsmanship in athletics, and second, to bring the Alumni and undergraduates in closer contact with high school athletics. The members did much to make our tourney a success by taking care of the crowds. Page One Hundred Four v m m m M ym jAWAW  vy Av AWAvymvyA vyAWA y | M First Row— Hermuda, Kowalski, Goodall, Roop.

The boys have shown much interest in their work, and have presented novel programs. Speeches are given by prominent business men, sponsors and members.

M. C. A. conference at Anderson. The club is progressing slowly but surely, as the club upholding the high standards that the Hi-Y program calls for. must have a strong foundation. The four principles that the Hi-Y club stands for are: Clean living, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean athletics.

An outstanding feature of this soceity is the maintenance of a second-hand book store for the purpose of helping students to obtain text books at a low cost. Let ' s keep in step with the Club of Opportunity. Page One Hundred Seven Top Row— I rdqiiist. Eutli Mr. Bush, Mr The U. X. I. The U. X. I. is the first debating club for girls ever installed in our build- ing. The credit of its organization is due to a group of Senior girls interested in forsenic activities. Our new debators have had a difficult time in trying to induce their class- mates to enter this field, but under the sponsorship of Mr. Haynes much progress is being made. The girls intend to challenge the boys to a debate before the semester is ended. Go, to it girls. Stick to your reputation of knowing how to argue. Page One Hundred Eight First Row— Aldr Smith.

Their goal is to completely furnish the model dining room. They have sold candy at all the important games and made themselves popular by being useful. The meetings of this organization are unusual in that one meeting is held in school while the other is held at the home of one of the girls. This brings the host into contact with practical problems. This organization, through its faculty advisor, Miss Hurst, is rapidly ad- vancing to be one of the most helpful organizations in school.

In addition to the interesting programs and socials, frequent theater parties are enjoyed by the organization. The Amateurs have set an aim to stage at least one worth-while production a year.

Philos Club If you would have a friend, be one. Friendship is the foundation upon which the Philos Club is built, and since every little girl has the inherent desire to have an older girl for a friend, the cornerstone of this organization is inter- class friendship. The aim of this club is to develop friendships by means of co-operative work. The Philos Society is in three sections: one for seventh and eighth grade girls, another for freshmmn and sophomore girls, and a third for junior and senior girls. Three section meetings and one group meeting are held each month. A party and a picnic have been planned for the two group meetings this spring.

It will be a perennial reminder of the springtime of your life, but when you turn to the printed words and to pictures set down here they will beckon back the yesterdays, perhaps with a flood of memories you little dream of now. When life is new we little heed the present. It is only when the years wear on and time ' s magic mist softens the light of other days that we fully realize the happiness of these fleet- ing, golden minutes. WALTER J. RILEY.
