WHITING HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING GYMNASIUM DEDICATION H , the Senior Class of 191.hereby. Dedicate this, the Second Annual, to Superintendent II’. W. Holiday, irho has patiently guided and inspired us during our High School career. 14 19 FOREWORD rpHE Senior Class of 1914 by inaug- 1 uarating this, the Second Whiting High School Annual, has followed the example of the class of 1913. We have benefited in many ways by the exper- ience gleaned from the noble attempt of the preceding class. We have spent much time and put forth our best efforts in this Annual, but is for you, kind friends, to judge of our success. Our main object is to show the people of Whiting and the Alumni of this School, that which we have attained through our high school career. We believe, how- ever, that everyone who judges of our work and our success, should give much credit where credit is due—to our ex- cellent High School Faculty, who have made possible this attainment. We wish all undergraduates success and honor in the coming years, and trust that they, too, will be inspired by the prece- dent established by the Classes of 1913 and 1914. 4 19 ERNEST VATER Joke Editor DONALD PARKS Athletic Editor DONALD SPURRIER Editor in Chief HAROLD DAEGLING Business Manager GEORGE BENSON Cartoonist MARY AGNES GROGAN Assistant Editor 5 SUPERINTENDENT W. W. HOLLIDAY 6 19 n I listory of Whiting WHITING derived its name from a conductor on a Lake Shore freight train which was wrecked near the present station. The company built a siding to avoid similar accidents and called the place “Whiting’s turn out,” or Whitings. When the Standard Oil Company came in 1889 some of the office men of the Stand- ard objected to the awkward final “s” of Whitings, and succeeded in changing the word to its present form. The first Pennsylvania Station was at Berry Lake and was called Eggers. The Whiting stop of the Pennsylvania was established in 1889 and was called “Fields” for a short time. The station site was originally south of 119th Street, but was soon moved to the north side of 119th Street crossing. The present sta- tion was built in 1892. Ground was broken by the Standard Oil Company in May, 1889, by William Barstow who had charge of the first con- struction gang. The refinery was two years in building, although a part of the plant was put in operation in 1890. The establishment of the plant had a great deal to do with the growth of the popula- tion, for within two years the population of two thousand people had gathered. Year by year, additions were made until it had grown to the famous Standard Oil Company of the present day. An experienced engineer sunk a shaft and drove a tunnel under Lake Michigan to supply the millions of gallons of water required in the refining of the oil. While all this was taking place at the plant, a mushroom city was building. Stores were being opened in the rough board shacks. Gradually shacks were replaced by sub- stantial frame buildings so that early in the year 1891 many of the company’s dwellings were occupied. East of the Pennsylvania tracks was the business cen- ter as well as the resident district. Whiting in 1860 A VISITOR coming to Whiting about the year 1860, or in the middle of the fifties would have found transporta- tion a serious difficulty. If the stranger came by rail as he might have done after 1853, it was necessary to leave the train at Ainsworth, as South Chicago was then called, and walk the ties five miles to Whiting. If he came on foot or horse conveyance, he would have found a great scarcity of roads and bridges. Until the advents of the railroads, the swamps and sloughs of the northwest corner of Indiana were a wilderness, unbroken except by an occasional hunting or fishing party. Christopher Schrage and family came to Whiting from Chicago in 1854. They found it necessary to travel south as far as Hegewisch, in order to get to Chitten- den bridge over the Calumet river, as South Chicago did not have a bridge at that time. From Hegewisch they traveled on the so-called Indian Ridge to East Side, where they found a passable trail near the lake to Whiting. There were no bridges to the west or south, except ITohman’s bridge (now Hammond). Boats were common enough and a foot traveler could usually hire one boat to make a crossing. Transportation by water was usually inconvenient, for, although there were many water ways, they did not ex- tend in the way people wished to travel. The water covered a very much greater proportion of the land then than now. The whole district was a succession of ridges and swales. The ridges were cov- ered with a rich growth of forest trees, together with a more or less dense growth of underbrush. Mud Lake was formerly called Lake George and had an outlet to Lake Michigan where Atchison Avenue is now. The joining of roads and the boom of the early fifties with its railroad build- ing brought many settlers to Whiting who formed the nucleus of the present Whiting. This boom was followed by a great panic in 1857 and Christopher Schrage tells of many hardships in the days just before the war. These were the hardest times ever known by the settlers, but the year 1870 brought a great boom, and a great rise in land values. In the year 1891 the first effort to incorporate as a town was made. Everyone appeared to be in favor of the project. It was proposed to in- corporate all the territory up to the state line. All attempts were unsuccessful until 1895. when the first town govern- ment was formed. During the six years which Whiting was under the administra- tion of town and government, our neigh- bor, Hammond, showed an inclination to lay claim to a large part of Whiting, after annexing Roby and Robertsdale. Ham- mond did, in fact annex all that part owned by the Standard Oil Company which included the works ami eighty-five cottages. Legal steps were taken to re- cover those parts which had been an- nexed and all was recovered except Rob- ertsdale. In order that our neighbor might not be able to repeat the annexa- tion scheme, Whiting was incorporated as a city in 1903, and the census showed the splendid growth in population from 1900 to 1910. During the administration of Warwick the first steps were taken to- wards street improvements. During the Smith administration the most notable event was the purchase of about twenty- two acres of Lake front property for pub- lic park purposes and two summers of diligent work have transformed an un- sitelv desert into a beautiful spot equipped with an artistic bath house, bridges, trees, flowers, and shrubbery, a spot that might call forth a glow of pride from a most indifferent citizen. Whiting has a public library, housed in a building that is an architectural gem, set in a little park radiant with trees, flowers, and shrubbery. With a wealth of beauty on the exterior, the interior is a mine of precious gems to those who are bookish in their inclination. The Hank of Whiting was established in 1895 by Henry Schrage. Lately, a mag- nificent building, that caused a gasp of amazement to Whitingites was com- pleted. First National Bank was organized by Mr. Bader and Mr. Smith, which occupies the handsome brick building at the corner of 119th Street and Oliver. Whiting may be proud of her public schools. Even Boston, mother of the public schools in this country, can pro- duce nothing more complete than the Whiting Public Schools. There are five buildings in all, the former High School, the McGregor School, the former kinder- garten. the Manual Training Building, and lastly the magnificent new High School. 8 Continued on Page 67) i4— Z%e ecfor ■ 19 Faculty 9 foe zfge ecfor PRINCIPAL C.

Frieda is a typical German Fraulein. She talked once when she forgot she was in school. She 'If e eefor Class History IN September, 1910, the class of 1914 numbering sixty-six, entered the High School. This was the first class to enter the new building as freshmen. We entered under the guidance of Mr. Ilall as super- intendent and Mr. Holliday as principal, but Mr. Hall resigned during the first semester and Mr. Holliday was made superintendent. We then looked with many surmisings to the coming of our new principal, Mr. Whiteman. The memorable happenings of our first year were that Irene Stewart even as a freshman was a great talker and after Miss Johnston’s patience had been tried beyond endur- ance she made her sit upon the assembly platform with her. This caused Evelyn to become very angry. Don Spurrier was the fusser of the class that year for he had quite a case on Mary Strut insky. Evidently Don was badly hit because he has never paid any attention to any one since. Louis Fischer was president during this year and like all freshmen classes it was hard to maintain order. “Little but mighty” was Louis’s motto and he held strict discipline. When we returned in September 1911, we numbered only forty-four. The sole social event of our High School career occurred this year when we gave our Hal- lowe’en Party. The girls furnished most of the eats and the boys bought the cider, apples and pumpkins. We had the rooms downstairs beautifully decorated with pumpkins, cornstalks and oak leaves. The evening was spent in telling ghost stories and bobbing for apples. George Henson wanted an apple so bad he put his entire head and shoulders into the tub and we had to get several towels so he could dry his hair and be presentable for the rest of the party. It was just about this time that George began to emerge from the bashful stage and notice the girls. Mary Grogan was president this year and she ruled the class with a rod of iron. In May of this year we decorated the auditorium beautifully in daffodils for the 1912 Commencement. In 1913 the class had been reduced to thirty-five. Life in this year moved along uneventfully until spring when play prac- tice began. Our play, “She Stoops to Conquer” was a very classical one and we devoted much time and labor in making it a great success. It was given two nights and was considered by all the best production ever given by High School be- cause we rose from the common play and undertook something worth while. Miss Sexton deserves great credit for the way in which it was given. The play was also the greatest financial success of any Junior entertainment. It was necessary that this be a success as both the Junior and Senior classes were unusually large and thus greatly increased the expense of the banquet. The banquet was considered a great success by all present. The decor- ations were sweet peas and ferns and the Juniors painted place cards of the same flower. This was the dress event of the season for all the girls were vying with each other to see which would have the (Continued on Page 69) 24 i4------- Class Prophecy IT was in the year 1935 that I decided to answer an advertisement for a stenographer. The address given was 91st Street and Commercial Avenue, Room 2313, Lederer’s Building, South Chicago, 111. I had some difficulty in finding the room of that number, but at last found it in one of the corners of the huge build- ing. The sign on the door read: “Madame Douaranenez, Sceeress.” I was aston- ished and somewhat disappointed and turned to go. Curiosity, however, con- quered and I turned the knob and walked in. The place was deserted and the op pressive air and odor of Oriental inscence was almost'unbearable. The rooms were decorated with all sorts of fantastic orna- ments and cabalistic signs. Heavy velvet curtains divided the rooms. I kept on going until I came to a very small room at one end. Madame Douarnenez was sit- ting there calmly smoking a cigaret. She was almost hideous to look at. Her very dark skin and black eyes and coal black hair were very suggestive of the East In- dian, she professed to be. She wanted to tell my fortune, of course, but I protested and explained that I had come in answer to her adver- tisement. When I had finished speaking I noticed that she was looking steadily into my face. “Say, aren’t you Catherine O’Rourke,” I heard her say. I was too surprised to speak and she continued, “Don’t you re- member me?” I looked at her and saw no longer the East Indian Sceeress, but a comrade of the long past school days in Whiting High School, Marguerite. I asked her why she had taken this sort of work and how she had been able to deceive the people. “Well, you see it’s easy, and interest- ing besides. I was always fond of study- ing human nature and here I can study all I care to.” This reason didn’t satisfy me very well, but I knew the uselessness of argument, so we started to talk of the school days and especially of the class of 1914. “I would like to know what they are all doing today,” I said. “Why, you know Hannah is a very successful modiste, right here in this block.” Just then the boy brought in a card bearing the name, “Madame Geervier.” “O! here is Hannah now,” Marguerite said. It was a fortunate tiling she told me for I never would have recognized Hannah. She was wearing a very bright shade of yellow, then in vogue. Where the skirt should have been, she was wearing harem trousers, and beneath the trousers. I could see her yellow silk stockings and black jewelled pumps. The waist (if it may be called a waist at all) was a creation of yellow silk and pearls as large as a small tea-cup. Her ears were ornamented with huge diamonds and a string of emeralds hung to the floor. Her face was entirely hidden by her hair and all I could see was 25 19 sparkling .miis. She recognized me, how- ever, and told me of her wonderful pro- gress in designing the fashions of the city. She told me she had recently purchased an automobile from the Brush Vehicle Works and as she told of her experience at the office of the Company, she became very excited and suddenly exclaimed. “Do you know who they have as agent down there?” I assured her I did not. “Why Ray Ault of our class of 1014.” This did not surprise me for Ray al- ways was progressive and I heard him say he would like to sell automobiles. “Speaking about our class, have you seen Mary’s latest picture?” Of course I hadn’t, so she handed me a small picture with the inscription Miss Mary B. Grogan, Loading Suffragette of Indiana. I looked at the picture and noticed the name of Stewart Stewart, Art Photographers. “Are those the Stewart sisters of 1014?” I asked. Marguerite assured me they were the same but she continued: “Let us see what Mary is doing today.” We looked into the seeeress’ crystal and there we saw Mary, standing on a soap box. in an Elkhart street, addressing a large audience. Iler topic was “Equal Suffrage” and she was emphasizing her words with forcible gestures. Looking further we saw William Gon- don. a renowned chemist in the Laboratory of tie Standard Oil Company, at Cleve- land. Walter Ilatt had just completed the invention of a filtering device, where- by the water was purified and the oil con- tained in it was utilized. Amelia Stiglitz. who had learned her trade under the directi n cf Miss Haskell. had become a prominent milliner in New York City. Her place was one of the largest in the city and hats designed by her were worn by all the leading people in the theatrical circles. Ethel Gladden had happily married and was living a life of luxurous idleness. Eliza Gardner, prompted by her great love for children, had accepted a position as matron in a girls’ orphan asylum in Pekin, China, and was spending a very useful life. Just then Madame Douarnenez was called from the room and while I waited for her, I looked out of the window and saw a very familiar figure outside the recruiting office. “Well if I’m not very much mistaken, that’s Donald Canfield,” I said. “I will go over and speak to him.” I hurried across the street and he told me he had secured his commission chiefly because of his decorative ability, a much desired quality in a recruiting office. While I was talking to him I heard music and turned to see a large wagon on which was a band. An immense sign attached to the side of the wagon in- formed the public that “The Follies of 1935,” with its dancers, performers and monstrous chorus of five thousand, di- rected by the world’s most famous dancer and singer. Merrill Adams, would perform that evening. “Surely not the Merrill of the class of 1914?” I asked. Don laughed and said “Of course, don’t you remember how gracefully Merrill used to dance the tango in school days, and you know the High School Chorus couldn’t get along without 19 14- him. I did remember and so decided then and there to go to that performance. Don said he had been at one of the performances in San Francisco. “Do you remember Olive Carlson ?” She is a noted soprano singer and sings in Adams’s chorus. I returned to Madame Douarnenez’s rooms and we again gazed into the crys- tal which held the present for each of us. Esther Evans had become a wall paper designer in New Orleans. Fearn Morri- son occupied her time directing the minds of kindergarten children and was very successful. Harold Daegling was seated on a piazza, smoking a long corncob pipe, in a very leisurely manner and in a drawling voice, directed a group of Japs, Indians, Italians and Poles, in their work on a sugar plantation in Hawaii. This elevated position required very little if any exer- tion and that part pleased Harold ex- tremely. Lucile was in Zacatecas, Mexico, di- recting a small class of natives in music and art. Robert Spillar was a mechan- ical and mining engineer, exploring the coal fields of Alaska. Edward Bartisska was a cartoonist for the Chicago Exam- iner. He filled the place left vacant by the death of Bud Fisher and his cartoons were enjoyed by thousands. Gladys Harper had taken up Domestic Science as her life work and was teach- ing it to the natives at the Methodist Mis- sion in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Frieda Goebel was perfecting her knowledge of the German language at the Berlin Uni- versity. Anna Baumel had taken up nursing and was now employed as head nurse in the Standard Oil Company’s hospital, which had been recently erected. Hilda Ahlgren was engaged by the Kidpath Lyceum Bureau as an interpre- tive reader. Donald Spurrier, the class beauty, was the nominee for the States Senatorship. Donald had always been a favorite with the ladies, when in school and his best weapon of defence in his fight for election was his promise to boost Woman Suffrage in Indiana. Ernst Vater had become a junior part- ner in his father’s extensive coal business. Harold Cameron was running for State Senator on the Socialist ticket against Donald Spurrier on the Progressive. Lou- ise Mattern was the physical director of women at Bloomington and was very popular. It was getting late and as I had de- cided I must look elsewhere for a posi- tion I started to go. Marguerite insisted that I wait and go to the Gaiety writh her. We secured seats in the front row. The first part was a short comedy entitled “The Old Man’s Money.” The actor taking the part of the old man seemed familiar to me and when he started to talk, my thoughts went back to the old school days when Donald Parks so often delighted and entertained the pupils with his acting. Surely no one else could act the old man’s part in just that way but Donald. The last thing on the program was a reel of Mutual Movies. It pictured a love- lorn lass of Scotland. The lass was a very prim, blond, and reminded me strangely of someone I had seen. I turned to Mar- Continued on Page 79 27 ishe '‘“Jge ec r.

Although at times they came out lower than they ex- pected, they always made the other County Track Teams go some to heat them. It was early in April of last year that Captain Ernst Yater called for candidates for track, and a turn out of large and small, fast and slow, met his call. Some reported in nice, white, well-pressed track suits, some in basket-ball suits, and others in a combination of bathing suits and every-day garments. Then our puzzled coach, Mr. K. L. Stockton, whose exper- ience in track was equally as large as his experience in basket-ball set them all to doing something, if it were only to dig up the ground for the pole-vaulters. and high and broad jumpers, “For,” he said, “there was something one could do better than the others.” and in this manner he soon found out what it was. A few weeks of this work sifted out the pleasure-seekers and left a team com- posed of Ernst Vater. George Benson, Harold Daegling. Merrill Adams. Milton Collins, Charles Pederson, Matthew Adlcy, Harold Cameron, Leonard Turner, Donald Xaef, Charles Goethe and Aubrey Sceerey. These represented Whiting at Crown Point. Before the County Meet at Crown Point, Whiting held a dual meet with East Chicago, at East Chicago. The pur- pose of this meet was to give the boys, who had never been.in a meet, the exper- ience. The Whiting team showed their superiority by giving the East Chicago boys only one first place. Whiting won the meet by a score of 80 to 19. At the l.’Uli Annual Field Meet at Crown Point, Whiting lost to Hammond by five points. It might be said that we lost by two inches, as the score stood, Whiting 21. Gary 23, Hammond 25, and the only event left was the broad jump. After jumping the trials. Benson and Pederson, of Whiting, tied for first with Smith of Hammond, third. The two Whiting boys led until the last jump when the Hammond boy jumped two inches farther than any previous mark. 11 is last jump won the meet, as it added (Continued on Pa e 83) U20 14- faster •19 36 Basket Ball THE second week in November Coach Stockton issued the call for basket ball men to meet for first practice. When they met things looked rather shaky, as many of the fellows were ineligible. There was a test the first of the next week, how- ever, and happily everyone worked hard and passed, and so were eligible to practice. The best men were soon brought to the front. The first team lineup was Ernst Vater, center; Adams, forward: Daegling, forward ; Bartuska. guard : Benson, guard. These men survived the year and very honorably represented Whiting in the heavyweight class. The substitutes for the first team were Harold Cameron and Milton Collins. The Senior class is very proud of this team as all five of the first men and one substitute are Seniors. The lightweight team was also organ- ized at this time, the lineup being as fol- lows: Don Spurrier, center; Clarence Eggers. forward; Milton Gevirtz, for- ward ; T. Naef. guard; I). Naef. guard. These men played the entire season with- out accident, a fact worthy of note. The regular substitute was Jess Gill. Whiting started the season with a rush, the heavyweights winning their first game by a big margin. The lightweights lost theirs; the Bowen lightweights prov- ing a stumbling block for our boys at both games, winning each by the score of 21 to 15. The heavyweight team lost but one game during the Lake County High School League series, this being to East Chicago, by a score of 32 to 30, under adverse con- ditions. The boys played the finest of basketball, beating every team on the horizon. As the season drew to its close Coach Stockton realized his highest aim, which was to take a team to Bloomington to the state meet that would be an honor to Whiting and to himself. After having won 17 games and lost one, Whiting left for Bloomington to enter the tournament. Coach Stockton, with the team and two rooters. Spurrier and Powers, stopped off at Purdue where they were treated royally by members of the Acacia House. After having seen Purdue and practicing on the floor on Wednesday, they left for Bloomington Thursday noon, with a fine opinion of Purdue. The general sentiment at Bloomington seemed to be with Whiting after the first game, which was with Southport. Whit- ing won easily by a score of 33 to (j—the score at the end of the first half was 20 to 1. The boys did not know how good a showing they would be able to make at this game because it was to be played at 7 o’clock in the morning. Everyone who saw this game said that Whiting certainly had the finest of teams. The next game was played at 0 o’clock that night with Wolcott. Whiting walked away with this game. ( 2 - 8. Everyone attending this evening game was so much pleased with the showing Whiting made in the way of team-work, that they also came to the game the next morning. The morning game was played between Whiting and the fine Lebanon 37 ---------19 team. This game was one of the best at- tended games of the tournament, as every- one had heard of the fine work of both aggregations. The game started with a rush and it was certainly a fine showing of basket ball, both teams possessing perfect plays and fine players to put them into execution. Whiting showed their class by winning in the first half, 11 to 8. The Whiting rooters and fans were highly elated ami showed their appreciation by following the boys to the dressing-rooms. The second half started with a rush and things were going fine, but instead of helping the game along, the official proved inefficient and a draw-back to real basket ball. This half dragged through and at the end the score was a 15 to 15 tie. Then the team that got the first two points won, and that happened for no real cause to be Lebanon. So ended the Whiting boys’ hope of carrying off the State Tour- nament. The boys were disappointed, but no one felt worse than Coach Stockton and the fans, for they really felt that the game was taken out of their hands after having won it. “But such is life.” The one real consolation was that the folks at home really felt as bad as the players themselves. When the Indianapolis paper came out with the “All State Team,” Whiting was greatly pleased to find Vater had won a place as Forward on the first team, mean- ing that “our Vater” was one of the two best forwards in the High Schools of In- diana. Again everyone was delighted to find that Benson was picked for guard on the second “All State Team,” he having been picked in 1012 for .first “All State” guard. Benson has certainly brought much renown to Whiting as a basket ball player, and he and Vater combined have pulled together as one to put Whiting on the map as having two of the best ath- letes in the High Schools of Indiana. Adams received first honorable men- tion as forward. This means much to us as everyone knows there has been no harder worker in High School Athletics than Merrill Adams during his four year career. Daegling and Bartuska, although not getting on “All Star Teams,” were part of the wonderful system that brought so much glory to Whiting, and no one fought any harder and with any more grit than did our “Daegie” and “Eddah.” The members of the Whiting High School take this opportunity to extend to the citizens of Whiting their appreciation of their attendance at all games. This has been a great inspiration to the boys. The teams also want to thank those mothers that entertained them during the basket ball season. We must not forget the Second Team as they have been very faithful at practice and are sometimes forgotten in the light of the first team. But they arc really the machine that pounds basket ball into the boys and take all the roughness. The Whiting Lightweights also had a very successful season, having won the Lake County Championship, and possibly the Northern Indiana, as there are no lightweight teams outside Lake County. The only team that defeated the Whiting boys was the Bowen Lightweights, who lost the Lightweight Championship of Chi- cago by one point, so that it is nothing to Whiting’s discredit as Whiting at each game held them to a score of 21 -15. This nights, the skinny center. Spurrier, would take his turn and roll in the baskets. It 38 HEAVYWEIGHT BASKET BALL TEAM Top row. left to right: Supt. Holliday.

Jess Gill also showed up creditably when he had to play. Many people were very much inter- ested in the games of the Lightweight team. They were very fast and usually the games were very close, causing much enthusiasm on the part of the rooters. Gevirtz as a basket shooter and free- thrower had no equal. And in his off sometimes looked as though they were taking turns at this exciting pastime. Much talk was caused in Lake County by the fact that Whiting and East Chicago were tied for first place in the High School Basket Hall League; but when the final game was played it was very easy to see that East Chicago never had a “look-in” on the comedy. Whiting walked off with this game 17-11. They were finely sup- ported by the presence of about 400 fans. The game was played in Hammond, this floor being chosen because it was consid- ered neutral. It may he said here that Milton Collins broke into basket ball with a vim this night, taking the place of Ed- ward Bartuska, who was injured early in the second half. The rest of the fellows played one of their best games that night and showed their caliber. As a recompense for the season’s work the Athletic Association voted the heavy- weight team heavy sweater-coats with six- inch W’s. The lightweights received jer- sey sweater-coats with seven-inch W’s. (Continued on Page 83) Hcavy weigh t s Soiledule Winning School Losing School Score Place Date Whiting H. S. Bowen H.

This has been proven by the splendid results of the last two Chorus Contests. So far twelve Musical Contests have been held, Whiting coining out vic- torious in four instances besides claiming three second places and two third places. Thirty-four is the number which has made up the Chorus of 1913-14. Most of these are from the Junior and Senior classes, no Freshmen being in the Chorus this year. To better prepare the Fresh- men for Chorus singing Miss Hunter or- ganized a Freshmen Chorus from which the best will be taken for the next year’s Chorus. Twice a week, a period of forty min- utes is allowed for the regular Chorus practice. During this time given us we have studied the following selections: “O Columbia We Hail Thee,” Donizetti; “Waltz Song” form Faust; “Good-Night. Beloved,” Pensute; “Soldiers Song.” from Norma: “Barcarolle” from Tales of Hoffman and “Toreador” from Carmen. Toreador is expected to be our prize piece this year as was the “Soldiers Chorus” of last year. A victrola was purchased last year which has proved to be instructive as well as enjoyable in the class room and at the Literary Programmes held every other week. In the list of records are many songs used by the Chorus. Great help has been derived from the voice work each individual member of the Chorus has received. This voice work was begun by Miss Hunter last year and has proven very successful. Fifteen min- utes a week is given to each pupil for which credit is received. The Chorus has worked hard in its en- deavor to gain first place again this year. However, if we do not reach that goal we shall not feel that the year’s work has been fruitless. On the other hand by so working to- gether, through the capable training of our Director, Miss Hunter, we have gained a wider knowledge of music and have grown to appreciate the true value of classical music. This is the third year Miss Hunter has spent as Supervisor of Music in the Whit- ing High School. All due credit is gladly given her for making the Chorus the suc- cess that it is. Besides being instrumental in placing the Whiting Chorus foremost in the last two contests she has drilled and been interested in other musical or- ganizations in the High School as well. Mention of the accompanist should not be left out in this review of the year’s work in music. At the beginning of the year this position, which is not an easy one was given to Marguerite Schaub. Marguerite has filled this position faith- fully and efficiently. 1913-14 Chorus SOPRANOS Dorothy Ade Blanche Cameron Olive Carlson Ruth Carlson Esther Evans Louise Mat tern Esther Miller Gladys Oeffinger Louise Stone Beulah Stover 46 Sextette Helen Green Evelyn Harper Anna Bauinel Elsie Baumel Mary Byer Lncile Daegling Irene Duggan Bi Ray Ault Merril Adams Herbert Brown Helen Wonnacott ALTOS Ethel Gladden Anna Griffith Irene Stewart Fearn Morrison RITONES Donald Parks Leon Bought Ralph Vogel Donald Canfield Milton Wickhorst Charles Goethe TENORS Milton Collins Milford Moore George Golding Besides the chorus the other musical organizations in the High School are the Girls’ Sextette, Male Quartette and two Mixed Quartettes.

Miss Christie has proven her- self a very efficient instructor in this line of work, and it is through her efforts that art in the Whiting High School is what it is today, being recognized as one of the leading subjects in the high school cur- riculum. With the opening of the first class in January, 1912. about twenty-five enthusi- astic art seekers enrolled in the class, but owing to the limitation of four subjects by each pupil, several were compelled to withdraw and seek another class for in the art work only one-third of a credit was given, and in this event the required thirty-three credits for graduation could not be secured. At this time the art ses- sions were held in the same room as the commercial course. The motto of the 1912 class was “Art for Art’s Sake.” During this year still-life, figure posing, and a small amount of leather work was studied. The figure posing showed stilted lines, and by comparing it with the work since turned out, great improvement can be seen. The second art class was organized in September, 1913. and with the addition of the study of History of Painting two full credits were given for the year’s work. This had two lasting effects, first that it acquainted the students with the lives and paintings of the masters of art, and sec- ondly that it enabled the students to pur- sue the art course without a deficit of credit. The work this year consisted of composition work, historyof painting, pos- ters. interiors, still life, figure posing and metal work. The present class, that of 1913-1914. consists of the following members: Grace Gill and Floyd Holliday, who are taking a post graduate course, the Seniors, Ethel Gladden, Lucile Daegling, Esther Evans. Irene Stewart, Evelyn Stewart, and the Juniors. Florence Muldoon and Helen Marie Green. This is a class which not only reflects credit upon the instructor, but on the High School as well, as it con- tains several real artists, there being among this class several who are intend- ing to make this study their life work. The work accomplished has been far su- perior to that accomplished during pre- vious years, but the work was handi- capped to a large degree by the reason of the class not being permanently located. The first part of the term the class met in the same room as that occupied by Miss Johnson—the next move was to an un- occupied room, with glass ceiling, at the extreme top of the building, to gain en- trance to which one must climb the golden stairs and cross the bridge of sighs. The furniture in this room had no “ball and chain” attachments, much to the ap- proval of the students. At the beginning of the second semester the class was again obliged to take up other headquarters owing to fear that in case of fire the stu- dents would be unable to get out. The (Continued on Page 71) 49 DRAMATICS are becoming very popu- lar in the Whiting High School, as they arc recognized as a valuable addition to the curriculum. The pursuing of this study is well worth the consideration of every High School student. Senior Play 4 4'1 17 ELL, it was great.” This is the VV expression that comes from every High School student, whenever the Senior class play ‘‘The Private Secre- tary,” is mentioned. Whiting has devel- oped a smile that reflects well the feeling of the year. It will not do to say that this season was successful to an unusual degree, that it was flattering; that the Senior Play was the greatest in the his- tory of the school. The fact is that, the scores are on our side, yet even these do not constitute a reliable index to the suc- cess of the season. In a larger more fundamental sense, “Dramatics” under E. C. Douglas have been successful. Cast of Characters Mr. Mainland. M. F.

One of the most pleasing selection during this term was the “Tat- tler.” At the beginning of the second semester the High School elected Donald Spurrier, President and Louise Mattern, Secretary and Treasurer to fill the vacan- cies. They have arranged very interesting meetings and have thus far met with the approval of all. The material this year was exceptionally talented and were such a success that the semi-monthly programs were looked forward to with great eager- ness by the students. EVALYN A. STEWART, ’14. 52 Oratory inners For Whiting ROY E. GREEN DELLA FIERES WALTER H. SMITH THE first Annual Oratorical Contest was held at Hammond May 9, 1902, in which throe high schools of Lake County participated. Roy Green was our representative, honoring Whiting by bringing home the first gold medal. Every high school in the County took part in the Second Annual Contest. Whit- ing did not receive a place this year but in 1904 and 1905 received third place. The interest increased from year to OSCAR AHLGREN EDNA O HARA LAWRENCE C. SMITH year and gradually public speaking classes were organized, giving the con- testants a much more thorough training. Whiting was represented by Della Fierce in 1906. who tied with the Ham- mond representative for first place. In 1908 Walter Smith represented Whiting, receiving third place. The following year he represented us again, this time coming out victorious. Oscar Algren re- peated the action of his predecessor, win- (Continixd on Page 73) Physics Thesis X-Rays THE earliest uses of the X-rays in med- icine were for the location of foreign bodies, such as bullets, fragments of rock, splinters of bone, etc.; which had been forced into the human body by violence, or such things as coins, buttons, bones, and pins, which had been accidentally swallowed, or had “gone down the wrong way,” and become lodged in the air-pas- sages, and for the location and determina- tions of the extent of internal injury due to fractured bones. During the past few years, however, the field of this wonderful instrument has been vastly widened by improvements in technique and by pains-taking experi- ments and careful records made by nu- merous experts in various parts of the world. X-rays are a form of radiation having characteristic and distinctive properties which were discovered by Professor Wil- helm Konrad Iiontgcn. lie showed that the discharge of a large RuhenkortT coil through a vacuum-tube produces a form of radiation external to the letter, which has the property of causing various sub- stances to fluoresce; of affecting the ordi- nary photographic plate like light and of penetrating opaque bodies in various de- grees. according to their density and rela- tive thickness, platinum, lead, and silver being quite opaque, while aluminum, wood and paper are quite transparent. lie also found that these rays are not refracted by prisms of carbon disulphid. and that un- certain refraction occurs with vulcan- ized rubber prisms and those made of aluminuip; that powdered substances, not transparent to white light, are quite as transparent to those rays as solid bodies of equal mass; and that bodies having rough surfaces act like those whose sur- faces are polished. These facts forced him to conclude that refraction and regular reflection do not exist, but that such bodies behave to X-rays as muddy media to light. Other conclusions were that these rays pass through all substances at the same speed; that air absorbs a very much smaller part of them than of cathode rays: that they are not deflected by a magnet: that the spot on the wall of a tube which fluoresces most decidedly is to be re- garded as the principal point of their radiation; that when the ctahode rays are deflected within the tube, the spot is changed, thus producing a new source of radiation : so cathode rays and X-rays are not identical. The source of X-rays has been shown to be the surface upon which the cathode rays first strike, whether that surface be the wall of the tube or an ob- ject placed within the tube; when this object within the tube is the anode itself, the emanations are most powerful. It has also been found that X-rays have the property of dispersing negative charges on insulated surfaces, and the power of positively electrifying such surfaces, and that regular reflection, though weak, may (Continued on Page 75) Miss Tanquary—“We have read most of the books in the bookcase.

No one will believe that Harold is a ladies' man but this is how we found out. When the team played basket-ball at Lowell, Harold be- came acquainted with a nice little girl and decided to take her home after the game. He told all the boys to wait on the corner until he came back which they did but Harold didn't come. On inquiring as to where the girl lived they were given the information by a Lowell boy. The boys were all stiff as they had waited nearly two hours on the cold, windy corner, but after a little walking they were soon warm again. They soon reached the house where they were told the girl lived and knocked at the door. In a short while the bright shining face of the girl appeared and I said, Is Mr. Daegling here?” Oh, no. he left about a half an hour ago. said the girl with a sweet smile.

Charles Goethe, our left-handed phenom. was the star player of the Sophomore class this year. Charles says he can’t make as many baskets with a right handed ball as he can with a left-handed one. . Ray Ault made the following remark: “Say fellows. I think I will go to school next year so I can play on the first team.” Ray has a beautiful shape and has such big feet he can’t be pushed over.

It has long since left behind that peculiar horror and opprobrium which re- spectable but unprogressivc citizens at- tached to its feeble efforts at recognition; and with the growth of new conditions, new methods, and new ideas, it has climbed almost to unbelievable heights, and cre- ated for itself a distinctive and unques- tionable place among the biggest factors of the present day. Xot only is it univer- sally admitted to consideration as a phil- osophy and science but also as an art. The history of advertising, however, remains to be written. The date of the earliest English newspaper advertisement has not yet been ascertained. A religious book advertised in the “Perfect Occur- rences of Every Daee,” April 2. 1647, is now said to be the article advertised; an- other early announcement being that of a reward for two stolen horses in the “Im- partial Intelligencer.” March. 1648. Books were, for some time, the only wares announced in the press, and the advertise- ment of tea in the “Mercurius Politicers” of September 30. 1658. seems to have been the first innovation upon the custom. Ad- vertising. however, must have grown rap- idly in popularity, since before the end of the seventeenth century, papers devoted exclusively to advertisements and circu- lated gratuitously had been issued. Xot until the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury does any system of arrangement or classification seem to have been adopted in England. Miss Alice Clay, in “The Agony Column” of the “Times” (London Chatto and Winders, 1881), gives selec- tions from the “Times” advertising col- umns from 1800 to 1870. showing that at the first these “personals” were inserted for the most part by individuals seeking wives. After this point in its development, advertising came on with great strides until today it claims a department in every newspaper and periodical. Many men and women make it a life work and it has now reach a point where it requires University training. Mr. Thomas Balmcr. the late advertising manager of the “Delineator,” “The Designer,” and the “New Idea Woman’s Magazine.” of Xew York City, in a magazine article says, “The man who is training himself to be an advertiser should be a college graduate, who, if pos- sible, in addition to standard require- ments, has taken a course in Physiology. Psychology, Logic, Political Economy and Socialism, even if they arc not included in the required course of his college.” The main idea in advertising is to bring before the public eye some article that you have for sale and to do this you must suggest something to draw their attention and make them curious and then to interest them. To many people the word “suggestion,” has a sinister mean- ing and implies some uncanny, occult force applicable only under abnormal con- ditions. as when a person is hypnotized or is mentally weakened by disease. In real- 60 ity there is nothing supernatural about it; it is a fact of universal occurrence, and it is applicable to everybody. By suggestion is meant nothing more than the implant- ing of an idea into the mind so skillfully that it disarms opposing ideas and tends to realize itself inaction. Now during re- cent years some of the foremost Psycholo- gists, “Professor Scott and Professor Munsterberg” of this country and abroad have been conducting inexhaustive ex- periments to ascertain the factors of sug- gestibility—the principles by which ideas may be most readily and effectively con- veyed with suggestive force from one mind to another. Now this applies to the advertisement because what the adver- tiser most wants is to be able to put some- thing in his ‘ads’ and ‘cuts’ that will be suggestive to the mind of the reader and to call his attention to the article which he himself wishes to bring forth. The afore stated facts are the reasons for which the up-to-date advertiser submits his “ads” and “cuts” to the Psychologist for study and inspection for such is the nature of the human being that on as small an item as the size of print and the blending of shades, depends the drawing of his attention. A deficiency in either of these things may overthrow the fineness of the other. And these are the things the Psycologist points out to the adver- tiser. This is what the Psycologist says, “If you have discovered something serious, scientific or important, present it in a big. dignified or masterful style. If you have made something sensible, comfortable and beautiful which you wish to sell, tell about it in a sensible, comfortable, and beautiful way. If you have something amusing that will make the world forget its sor- rows and smile, introduce it in a humor- ous, delightful manner. Whatever you do, be appropriate.” The quality of advertising should de- pend on the quality of the article, for the more genuine, honest and sincere the thing you have to offer, the more readily it lends itself to a beautiful expression of its virtues; and the more original har- monious and appropriate the paragraph, illustration or design the better the type of individual to whom you will appeal. On the whole, the field is rich in possi- bilities or originality and charm, through the medium of both literature and art. In speaking of art. we might site some spe- cific cases where real masterpieces of etch- ing were used as in the recent “cuts” of the Pierce Arrow Automobile Company, and other Automobile Companies. The Electric Auto Companies have used pho- tography to a great extent. This shows that advertising has reached a high state of development. It would be well to speak of the real value of “ads” and “cuts.” There is much to be gained by advertising, other- wise all manufacturing companies would not appropriate such large sums of money annually for this sole purpose. Many “ads” cost thousands of dollars. Let it not be misconstrued that only very ex- pensive advertising is successful for there are many cases of very small “ads” re- sulting in enormous sales; take for ex- ample. the truck farmer in Massachusetts who found his entire cantalope crop sud- denly ripe, and as he was taken unawares he did not know how to dispose of it.

CD I -—19 || The Phonograph Photography THE Phonograph was invented by Thomas A. Edison in the latter part of 1877. Its life principle is simply and clearly defined in the first claim of the patent as follows: ‘'The method herein specified of reproducing the human voice, or other sounds, by causing the sound vibrations to be recorded substantially as specified, and obtaining motion from that record as set forth for the reproduction of sound vibrations.” The invention was a striking and in- teresting novelty and at once attracted the attention of scientific men as well as the general public. Its first public exhibition was about the latter part of January, 1878, before the Polytechnic Association of the American Institute, at New York. It spoke English, French, German. Span- ish and Hebrew and equal facility. It imitated the barking of a dog, ami crow- ing of a cock and then of catching cold, coughed and sneezed until, it is said, a physician in the audience proposed send- ing a prescription for it. The form of the first phonograph con- sisted of three principal parts—the mouth- piece, into which speech was uttered, the spirally grooved cylinder carrying on its periphery a sheet of tin foil and a sec- ond mouthpiece. The cylinder and its axial shaft both provided with spiral grooves or screw threads of exactly the same pitch and, when the shaft was turned by its crank, its screw-threaded bearings caused the cyl- inder to slowly advance as it rotated. The (Continued on Pace 8 ) PHOTOGRAPHY is the art of prepar- ing permanent representations of ob- jects by means of the light they emit or transmit. The earliest experiments along this line were made by Wedgewood and Davy, who obtained prints of ferns, lace, etc., by placing them on paper treated with silver nitrate and exposing to light. The first photographs produced in the camera were made by Daguerre in 1839. The disadvantage of his process was. that his negatives were too fragile, conse- quently but one print could be made from a negative. Ilis process was greatly im- proved however, by Scott Archer who in 1851 introduced glass plates. These plates today are used to a great extent. Recent- ly a celluloid strip has been invented, which takes the place of the glass plates in many instances, because of convenience. The gelatine emulsion which is on the film and plates, is prepared as follows. A warm solution of gelatin and water con- taining a soluble bromide, is mixed with a solution of silver nitrate so as to form an emulsion containing a fine precipitate of silver bromide. The emulsion is gently heated, allowed to set, washed, and then melted and coated on to the glass plates, films, and printing papers. The camera in which the image is im- pressed on the sensitive side of the film or plate, as it may be, is a light-tight box. The plate is fixed in such a position that an image of the object to be photographed is projected on to it by a lens. The lens is fitted with a mechanical shutter, so (Continued on Pa«e 8i) 63 ¥Z%e%ecfar The Juvenile Court IT scarcely seems possible to any one liv- ing in this enlightened age, that a child of seven years could be convicted of crime in the same manner as an adult. Yet, not more than fourteen years have elapsed since such a thing was not only possible, but even an ordinary occurrence. The establishment of the first Juvenile Court in 1899, marked the first step in an uplifting movement for the betterment of the child. Previous to that time there had been no court devoted exclusively to children, in the entire civilized world; today it is an ccknowledged and honored institution, not only in the United States, which created it, but in many other civ- ilized countries as well. The object of the children’s or Ju- venile Court is to set apart the few child criminals, and to care for the children who are not criminals, but are in danger of becoming such, by putting them on the road to good citizenship. While the func- tion of the Court is also that of saving the child, and arousing the public to the need of the abolishment of social condi- tions that breed crime and misery, yet the child-offender is not removed from his home unless the conditions there are such as to make this imperative. The Court must discard many tradi- tions and practices of the past. It is not sufficient for the judge to decide that the child has offended or that he is neglected, but it is necessary for him to determine the underlying cause for the offense or the condition, and to decide what can be done for the betterment of the child. Discipline should be inflicted when- ever discipline is necessary, but this is less important than the function of pre- vention. In the Juvenile Courts, the idea of punishment has given way to the con- ception of reformation by educational methods. The judge must possess peculiar quali- ties. lie must avoid sentimentalism, and yet he can not afford to be narrow-minded. He must make himself the friend of the child and gain his confidence. It is an accepted theory among the workers in this field that the environment, in most instances, is responsible for the offence of the child. Therefore the Court must consider the environment of the child before passing sentence. In Minnesota, the work in the Juvenile courts is especially well organized. One interesting department is that devoted to research. The three most important ques- tions in this research work are: 1, Is the offender unsound physically? 2, Is he un- sound mentally? 3. AVhat social forces are contributing to his delinquency? A well equipped hospital has been estab- lished. where those offenders, who upon examination are found to be physically unsound, are placed and whose defects are overcome if possible. New York stands at the end of the movement of dealing with Juvenile delin- quency in a progressive and enlightened manner. New York has no exclusive chil- dren’s court! Here there are almost no regularly paid probation officers. The Manhattan Children’s Court has one pro- bation officer to each ten thousand eases.

Whiting is equipped with a fire depart- ment. and a beautiful new Post Office, and two theaters. Lately, Steiglitz Park was annexed by Whiting which makes Whiting a large thriving city. The new home of the First National Hank of Whiting. Indiana, which is rising at the corner of 119th Street and New York Avenue, will be one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in Whiting. In completeness, in symmetry of form and beauty of detail it can hardly be surpassed. There will be a majority of proportion as well as an amplitude of detail that will charm and impress the visitor to the city. The dignity and sever- ity of the outlines will be softened by decorative touches that will afford a pleas- ing variety. As a building adapted to it’s purpose of housing a great banking institution, the last word is said. No de- tail that experience has shown of value or that ingenuity can suggest has been left out. An interesting illustration of the femi- nine invasion of the business world is the waiting or rest room provided for the ladies. The new building is reared for the future. In height it will be two stories, but the massive foundations and walls will permit its being enlarged to five stories, whenever the need shall require. Faith in the future as well as confidence in the present is impressed in every bit of solid and substantial masonry. The new bank building will be a splendid ac- quisition to Whiting.

Two nights later came the Junior and Senior chase. The Juniors had to stay in the II. S. building from 7:30 until 8:00 until the Seniors would have a chance to hide. Mr. White- man went with the Juniors and Mr. Holli- day went with the Seniors. At ten o’clock we gave up the chase and rang the High School bell so the Seniors came from their seclusion and we had to pay for the eats. This was the close of our eventful Junior year. The class now numbered thirty-two when we entered upon our Senior year. A committee selected our class rings which were very satisfactory to the class. The Juniors lost their most precious student when Ray Ault joined the Senior class, but the Junior class does not have a cor- ner on brilliancy as four of the Senior class completed their work in the middle of the year, two of them, Walter Ilatt and William Gondon, went to work and the other two, Mary Grogan and Hannah Gcvirtz, went to Terre Haute to take up a teacher’s course. At the beginning of the second semester we had a meeting to de- cide about our annual. In order to meet part of the expense of the annual we de- cided to give a play, and selected “The Private Secretary'.” The play was a de- cided success both financially and as a High School production. This was our most enjoyable year and it closed June 10. when we as a class made our formal exit from the Whiting High School. ETHEL GLADDEN.

In 1912 the association decided to have a separate contest for the girls, who were to give readings, while the boys should give declamations. Edna O’Hara and Lawrence Smith represented us this year, each receiving a gold medal. This was indeed a time of rejoicing for Whiting. In 1913 Raymond Schauh and Hanna Gevirtz represented us, the former receiv- ing third place. Whiting has not only shown her ability in the County Contests but also in the in- terscholastic contests held at the various universities and colleges. In 1911 Oscar Ahlgren won first place at Beloit College in Wisconsin, thereby receiving a free tuition to that college. He has been at- tending this college since 1912. In 1910 he entered the oratorical contest at North Western University, viewing third place in the finals and fourth place in 1911. In 1912 Edna O’Hara and Lawrence Smith entered the contest at Chicago University, both receiving second place in finals. In the same year Edward Frankowski re- ceived fourth place at Beloit College, Rob- ert Gardner receiving third place the suc- ceeding year. Every year more interest is shown in this branch of study in the High School. In earlier years, it was necessary for the contestants to receive their training from ministers or various other sources, but for the last three years the necessary training has been obtainable from capable instruc- tors in our own High School. Whiting may well be proud of the suc- cess she has achieved in the past with the loyal support of her students she will in future times measure up to the stand- ard she has set herself.

There is a new apparatus made by a French scientist which opens up an at- tractive field of research which is called microradiography, from the fact that it is now possible to obtain X-ray photographs of the internal structure of microscopic objects. The new method is attracting much attention among scientists, as it is recognized that it will contribute greatly to our knowledge of minute animal life. The chief progress in X-ray diagnosis of late years has been with regard to the digestive organs. Since these are hollow they can be investigated by X-rays only when filled with some contrasting sub- stance such as bismuth. There has been an admirable development of technique in the methods of handling the rays so as to obtain powerful internal action at certain spots without injuring the skin or other tissues. In this connection we may men- tion the differentiation between the “soft rays” and the “hard rays” which is a matter not touched but is well known to X-ray specialists. LOUISE MATTERN.

The work is now done merely by volunteers. To the probation officer is entrusted the most important work of the court, that of investigating the conditions and home environment of the child-offenders, bettering them, if possible, and keeping watch over the child to see that the same conditions which brought him before the court the first time do not influence him again in his delinquency. Judge Ben. B. Lindsey in “The Beast” tells of an incident which brought about the establishment of the first Juvenile Court in Denver. One afternoon, during the Court ses- sions, a young boy, whom he calls “Tony,” was brought before him on the charge of stealing coal. The railroad detective gave his evidence; the boy had no defence. The case was clear. The only thing to do was to sentence him to a term in the State Reform School. While the papers were being made out against him, an old woman, his mother, greeted the Court with the most soul-piercing screams of agony possible from a human throat. Yet under the law, nothing else could be done. Finally ac- cepting the responsibility of the act, Judge Lindsey made the verdict — sus- pended sentence. That night accompanied by an officer who knew “Tony” he visited the home, in the Italian quarter of North Denver. The conditions that he found there were deplorable. Two rooms, in a filthy shack, the father sick in bed, and the whole fam- ily struggling against starvation. He talked with “Tony” and found him not a criminal, not a bad boy, but merely a (Continued on Page 79) Sam Spivak Merchant Tailor Cleaner and Repairer All Orders Promptly Filled 428—119th Street Phone 1G2U George Konya I Have a Few Words to Say WEAR The Florsheim Shoe 412— 119th Street 9 9 • • Copies of “The Reflector” may be obtained at all the Drug Stores WHITING BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS 76 L.

It was Jhen that Judge Lindsey began t j consider this business of punishing in- fants as if they were adults, and of maim- ing young lives by trying to make the gristle of their unformed character carry the weight of our iron laws and heavy penalties. So well has he done this work that he well deserves the name “Friend of the children.” The children of Denver love and honor him; the world owes a debt of gratitude to the man, who, in his own way, has done so much to make this age, “the age of the child.” GLADYS OFFINGER.

If he had not advertised he would have lost the entire season’s crop, as it was he made his expenses and a small profit combined. There are thousands of small and large examples of just this sort that might be cited only showing the force of advertis- ing in the present day business world. A person picking up a modern daily paper or periodical does not realize what is be- hind the “ads” and “cuts” that he glances over so carelessly. Sometimes he may see something in the way of a cut that calls forth his admiration such as some of “Tom Murrays” famous cuts and ads, but this seldom the case unless the person in question is very minute in his observations. This is what the modern advertiser is trying to overcome. He is not trying to cause a sensation but to draw the attention of the public to the article he wants to advertise. Present day advertisers are nearing a point of perfection in being able to put things before the public in the most straight forward way and to interest them in all articles advertised.

When the mouthpiece was spoken into and the cylinder was turned, the little stylus, vibrating from the voice impulses, traced by indentations, a little jagged path in the tin foil that formed the rec- ord. To reproduce the record in speech again, the mouthpiece was adjusted away from the cylinder, the cylinder run back to the starting-point, and the second mouthpiece was then brought up to the cylinder. This mouthpiece had a diaphragm and stylus similar to the other one, only more delicately constructed. This stylus was adjusted to bear lightly in the little spiral path in the tin foil traced by the other stylus and. as the tin foil revolved with the cylinder, its jagged irregularities set up the same vibrations in the diaphragm of the second mouthpiece as those caused by the voice on the other diaphragm, and thus translated the record into sounds of articulate speech, exactly corresponding to the words first spoken into the mouth- piece. A further development of the phono- graph shows the single mouthpiece with a diaphragm and stylus, which serves the purpose, both of records for making the record and a speaker for reproducing it, a trumpet or horn being used, as indicated in dotted lines, to concentrate the vibra- tions in recording and to augment the sound in reproducing. Although twenty-one years of age, the phonograph is ever a wonderfully new and impressive device. Edison says: “In one sense it knows more than we ourselves know, for it retains the memory of many things which we forget, even though we have said them. It teaches us to be care- ful of what we say and I am sure makes men more brief, more business-like and mo re straiglit-for wa rd.” MARGUERITE SCHAUB. Photography (Continued from Pane 63) that the film or plate may be exposed for any required time. For an example, the light not being as intense on a cloudy day as a bright day, it requires a long time to get the desired impression of the image on the film. After exposure, there is no visible change in the film, the so-called latent image requiring a developer to produce the darkened products constituting the negatives. Chemically these developers are nothing but reducing agents, such as ferrous oxalate, alkaline solutions of hydroquinone, and bromides. Develop- ment must be carried out in a dark room, lighted by a red electric light bulb. Recently the Eastman Kodak Company has perfected an apparatus by which develop- ing may be done in day light. It is called a tank, and consists of a light-proof box. about the size of an average cigar box. Inside of the box is a spool connected with a crank, upon which is wound the film. Both the film and spool arc then placed in a light tight tank, where it is developed. Much better negatives are to be made by tank developing, as it is also much more convenient. (Continued on Page 85) 82 Track (Continued from Page 34) five points to Hammond and four points points, were Benson’s, Adley’s, and Peder- son ’s, which made a total of 25 points. Had the Hammond boy failed to pass Ben- son’s mark on his last jump, the meet would have gone to Whiting. The Whiting people look back at the old Fair ground at Crown Point as a place of many an exciting track meet. The annual track meet has been held there for thirteen successive years. Crown Point is an ideal spot for a field and track meet and it is to the sorrow of many that the meet will be held at Gary hereafter. Our experiences at Crown Point will never be forgotten, and we regret that the on- coming students may not have an equal opportunity to enjoy a nice quiet day at such a beautiful spot. For the last three years Whiting High has taken the places awarded for indi- vidual points. In 1911 James Bartuska was awarded the silver medal with 14 points; in 1912. Frank Greenwald won the gold medal with 16 points; in 1913, Ernst Vater on the gold medal with 19 points and will probably capture it this year. But it must not be thought that Whit- ing’s Track Team was known only in this County, for we were represented in most of the State Meets and at Stagg’s Inter- scholastic Meet at Chicago, and at those held at Northwestern and at Lake Forest. At Northwestern, Vater represented Whiting High and got second place in the discus and fourth place in the shot. At the State Meet he took second place in the discus and at Stagg’s Interscho- lastic, he took third in the discus. His entire collection trophies, etc., at end of Junior year amounted to fourteen medals, a silver cup, and a silver shield, and from all indications it looks as if his collection will be increased this year. D. B. PARKS. Basket Ball (Continued from Page 37) “Thusly” ended the career of the Bas- ket Ball Teams of 1913-14 and it is with no small amount of pride that we look over their records. But in doing so we must remember the great amount of credit that should be given Coach Stockton for his patient and steady work and the fine system that he has instilled in the boys. We hope the High School will prove as successful in Athletics ii. the coming years as it has been this year. This success may also be based on the fact that this year an Official Board, to take care of the athletic funds, was elected and the officials of this board have filled their position conscientiously, having adopted a constitution and reported on all expenditures and receipts. The board is as follows: George Benson. - - - President Harold Daegling. - . Vice-President Donald Spurrier, ...

Aunts and Uncles are dying ama .ingly fast, and ever so many of us have to mind the baby while Mamma is away. One of the wonders of the world is to go down in shop and see Red Gordon Work. George Benson had the habit of letting his whiskers grow. At one of the basket-ball games someone from the sidelines said: “Who is that fellow over there, it looks like Santa Claus.” But it was only George. A short time ago we feared that our school was going to the dogs, but we have changed our minds for everyone is not only doing the best he can for himself but is diligently en- graving in his heart a sweet quotation: “Help one another. Lucile Daegling couldn’t make a good mer- maid because she couldn’t keep her mouth closed long enough to keep from drowning. One day Marguerite Schaube came to school with a very red face and could do nothing but giggle. When we Inquired as to what was the matter we found that Red” Daley had been her partner at a party the night before. Teacher—”ln some cities the people are not allowed to keep chickens.” Sophomore— I never saw a place like that.” One little student that is running loose in our midst feels more important than a duck on eggs. He is usually seen lugging a piece of paper about four inches by four inches, from one class room to another, and that sure, flat-footed stride together with that business- like air, one might easily mistake him for the Assistant Superintendent of the world only he would have to put a bed slat on his back. 84 Photography (Continued from Pa«c 8 ) From 5 to 10 minutes is the average length of time a film is left in the devel- oping solution. It is then taken out and washed in water for one or two minutes. The silver compounds are not soluble in the developing solution, so it is necessary to put the film in another bath, called the fixer. This fixer which usually contains a little alum or citric acid, with hypo sulphite of soda, dissolves away the unaggecting silver compounds, and leaves the film more or less clear in those places on which but little light fell when in the camera. Fixing usually requires from 15 to 20 minutes. The film is then washed in running water for one hour, whence it is hung up to dry. Prints are then obtained from the negatives by replacing it (negative) in front of a piece of sensitized paper and exposing to light. The light passes through the negatives most readily in the clearer portions, thus darkening tlie paper most at the places where little light fell on the plate or film when in the camera, and hence reproducing the shadows of the object. The same is true with the high lights. The prints are developed ex- actly as the negatives. HAROLD DAEGLING.
