The Reflector 1920 PUBLISHED BY THE WHITING HIGH SCHOOL WHITING, INDIANA WHITING HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATION TO Jesse Hays Hoskinson and Lamar Colman Grubb because of their true interest in Whiting High School we dedicate this book. J. H. HOSKINSON Superintendent L. C. GRUBB Principal 2ie Z%e ecfcr FOREWORD To the friends and patrons of Whiting High School, The Reflector Staff of 1920 offer this book. It is unique in being the irst annual which is a school rather than a class enterprise. Upper and lower classmen have worked together harmoniously :o produce this volume. We trust that it may give you a glimpse )f high school life as it really is, and that in future years it may ;ome to be a storehouse of pleasant memories for those whose activities are here reflected. The Staff wishes also to express their appreciation of the assistance of Miss Douglas and the Art class, and of Miss Broad. Board of Education J. E. EVANS President DR. G. H. HOSKINS Treasurer T. S. BOYLE Secretary MARY L. MORRISON Clerk The Whiting Public Schools If the boys and girls of a community are its greatest asset, then the means of their training, the schools, are the community’s most important enterprise. This is the conception we have of the schools of Whiting and it is the high standard by which we try to measure every factor that enters into their character and affects their progress. Although the schools of Whiting have gone on modestly from year to year serving the community without seeking notoriety or publicity, they are unique in some respects and merit distinction. So far as I know, it is the only consolidated system of city schools in the country. The different schools of a city system are regularly distributed over the city, but because of the size and compactness of our city we are able to group all of our schools on one block, except a small three room school located in the southern extension of Whiting. This consolidation has many advantages. It makes possible a central heating plant. One auditorium, one industrial and one physical education equipment are easily made to serve the entire system. Buildings are used interchangeably and special teachers and supervisors can more conveniently and economically be provided where help of this kind is needed. Whiting has perhaps the one outstanding example of a system of schools that is not seriously handicapped by a lack of resources. Although the spirit of the school administration has been to use strict business methods in all of its dealings and to practice the kind of economy that relates to efficiency, it is also true that there has not been the need or the disposition on the part of anyone to hamper the work of the schools in any of the departments by withholding funds, and when a legitimate need of any kind has been demonstrated the resources for providing for that need have always been forthcoming. Our school organization has not departed so far at this time from the traditional ideals and standards as to be impossible of recognition, which may be a virtue. Our system includes the usual kindergarten work, elementary grades, Junior High School and Senior High School. When our housing facilities will permit, these divisions will be grouped as follows: Elementary grades, six years; Junior High School, three years; Senior High School, three years. At present the sixth grade is grouped with the Junior and the ninth grade with the Senior High School. In the Junior High School the problems of differentiation and adaptation of subjects, electives and subject promotion have only partially been attacked. The Senior School, though having a small annual enrollment of approximately two hundred, undertakes, and successfully, to meet the standards and opportunities offered by the largest schools. Indeed, I think it may safely wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmmm be claimed that by reason of our wide range of courses offered and small enrollment of pupils, advantages are afforded not found in the larger schools. A wider distribution of pupils is thus made certain, resulting in smaller classes and more individual contact and work of teacher with pupil. It will perhaps be pardoned if a justifiable pride is shown in making brief mention of some of the features of the High School. Much could be said to the credit of each department but it is my purpose to refer only to a few “high spots” as they stand out uncontested. The High School building and equipment are unsurpassed by any in the country little or big. The science departments would do credit to the average college and the shops offer facilities equal to the best. I have never seen another small school with anything comparable to our shop equipment. It is determined, as soon as room can be provided, to further perfect this equipment by the addition of printing and sheet metal work, when the industrial department of our schools will undoubtedly satisfy the wishes of the most exacting. 1 he commercial department is also a model of completeness, which fact is reflected in the results of its work. For four successive years, in fact the only four years the contest was held, our typists won the State championship in the State typewriting contest. It might also be of interest to refer in outline to the plans and aims already taking form for the further development of our schools. The general constructive program of the schools may be said to consist of a conscious effort to accomplish three outstanding things, namely, an adequate school plant, properly equipped schools and the best corps of teachers obtainable. It is perhaps safe to say that all of these objectives would already have been gained except for the ar with its resultant and subsequent high prices, unsettled conditions and shortage of teachers. The building program mentioned above involves the construction of a new Junior High School building, an eight-room grade building on the south side and almost a complete change and reconstruction of the heating plant. I he lower room of the present Auditorium building will be turned into a boiler room and new boilers installed. A new stack, high enough and so constructed as to avoid the smoke nuisance, will be built. Radiators will be installed in all the west rooms of the present High School, and the heating of the entire plant made adequate. I he proposed grade school on the South side will be a one-story building consisting of eight class rooms and two offices drawn around a central assembly room large enough for ordinary public meetings or athletic contests. 1 he new Junior High School when built will be a model of beauty and usefulness. Seemingly the architect has accomplished in his plans the thing he was asked to do—provided for a building that will never grow out of date. Besides the necessary offices, showers, lockers and store rooms, this building will contain sixteen class rooms, a lunch room, kindergarten, an (Continued on Page 60) Hazel Broad Ethel Kirby Giles W.

This expedition set out July 1, from Aero Continent No. 3, to search for the fabled city of Whiting. After cruising around in the air for two weeks, on July 15 the expedition landed at the spot where Whiting had once stood. Operations were immediately begun but not until two days later was an important discovery made. On July 17 there was uncovered a large stone building, on the outside of which hung a sign with the following undecipherable inscription: N. E. KECKICH Bevo Prescriptions Filled Here Outside the building was a long line of over fifty of a curious species of animals which Prof. Benson of Cuckoo University identified as man. Each held in his left hand a curious slip of paper and in his right hand a hollow object probably designed to hold some liquid. But the most important discovery was a manuscript in the hands of a man seated at a table drinking. Prof. Binhammer, Professor of Ancient Languages, deciphered the manuscript of which the following is a translation: “Why, hello there! Well! If it isn’t my old friend, Eddie Shade. I haven’t seen you for a coon’s age. How are you ?” ‘‘Oh, I'm pretty well. Come on, let’s step into Nick’s and have a glass of -------- (censored by Anti-Saloon League).” “All right, come on.” “What’ll you have John? This is on me.” “O, I’ll take a glass of------ (cen- sored by Anti-Saloon League).” “I’ll have the same.” “Ah, that goes to the right spot. Say, do you remember the good times we had at High School? ’Member how every Freshman was at school ten minutes before the door opened, every day in the first month ? And how most of us spent the rest of our four years trying to even things up by coming late ?” “ eah. I know I did a good job of it too. Le’me see, I think—yes, Joe Melvin was the president of our class. There were only thirty-four in it.” “It’s funny, but the longer I went to High School the more religious and ill I became. Why, the first year I was only absent twice on account of holy-days and four times on account of sickness, while in my Senior year I was absent ten times on account of hplydays and about fifteen times on account of a toothache or headache.” “Yes, and I’ll bet you didn’t get the “Say, do you remember that Soph-headache from studying too much, either.” omore fudge party ? Some party! Molly’s candy turned to “Sugar” and was the sweetest of all. But the most fun came after the party when some of the boys stayed to help wash and scrape the dishes. M-m-m-m, boy! And when we decorated the Auditorium for the Seniors! Why for six nights I dreamed that red and grey Japanese lanterns were chasing me around the Auditorium.” “And the Junior play. Helen Moore was a rather thorny “Rose of Plymouth Town,” wasn’t she? It’s too bad, but that play gave Tom a reputation of being bashful with the girls. Gee, remember the fight for the flag at Commencement? I heard that the Whiting Drug Stores ran out of court-plaster and arnica and liniment the day after the fight.” “We had a rather small Senior class. Only about twenty-seven Seniors graduated that year. I remem- ber Donald Williams was class president.” “And remember the Senior play, “Her Husband’s Wife?” Gee, that reminds me, I’d better be going or else this husband’s wife will do something.” “Well, s’long.” “S’long.” The original manuscript is to be placed in the National Museum of Aero Continent No. 3. Prof. Binham-mer, who is accompanying the expedition, will use this manuscript as the basis for a book which will deal with the life of that extinct species called Man, which in 1920 inhabited that now arid planet called the Earth. The Bedlam Bugle is a member of the Mental Telepathy News Service and will keep its readers well informed of the work of the expedition. Next Sunday a special supplement will be printed containing exclusive photos of the partially excavated city of Whiting and the finds made by the expedition.

J©L History of the Junior Class Lawrence Smith President Eleanor 1 laugh Arvine Green Vice President Secretary William Thiessen Treasurer Margaret Lynn Historian Three years ago thirty-three bright Freshmen entered the hospitable doors of Whiting High School, rather timidly. But gradually we picked up courage, and trying our best to act like upper-classmen, consulted the principal about having a Freshman meeting. We certainly felt proud to see the notice on the bulletin board: “Freshman Meeting Tonight.” We gathered in Miss Carhart’s room and Miss Carhart was chosen as class adviser. The officers were: Nick Keckich, President; Helen Moore, Vice President; Elizabeth Baumel, Secretary; and Arvine Green, Treasurer. Our Freshman year proved very satisfactory. We were just getting used to being called “Fresh-ies when we realized we were approaching the Sophomore year and about to bear the title of “upper clasmen.” After a few weeks as Sophomores we decided to have a class meeting. The officers elected were: Bill Thiessen, President; Elizabeth Baumel, Secretary; and Arvine Green, Treasurer. Our class adviser was to be Miss Paul. During this year many of the members showed their school spirit by entering into high school activities, both in athletics and oratory. % The officers for the class this year are: Lawrence Smith, President; Eleanor Haugh, Vice President; William Thiessen, Treasurer. The Junior class certainly have fame both in oratory and athletics, as members of the class have won many honors for the school. The boys on the first team are: Bill Thiessen, James Burke and Sylvester O’Connell. With the skill and courage of these boys the teams have won almost every game of the season. And in the Oratorical Contest the Juniors were successful in the preliminary as four of the members of the Junior Class spoke in the auditorium. And one of the members of the Junior Class, Helen O’Domnell, represented Whiting at Gary and won second place. Continuing with as rapid advancement as we have had in the past years, we hope to be very satisfactory Seniors in 1921. —Margaret Lynn. LAWRENCE SMITH Bold was his face, and fair, and reed of hewe.

But gradually we learned the daily routine and soon felt as important as Seniors or even Sophomores. hen the first class meeting was called, a noisy mob gathered in the Science room. Herbert Cluck was elected president, Lambert Ncdjl, vice president, and Irene right, secretary-treasurer. Mr. I ranklin, the Science teacher, was chosen class adviser. We Freshmen, who thought that money was coming into our treasury too last, decided, after several meetings, to enter the social whirl by giving a dance. On account of our bashfulness, however, we waited until the last week of school and so the dance could not be given. W e then decided to keep our money until the new term opened. I he following year, as Sophomores, we returned to the W. H. S. with better class spirit. Although nine of our class had decided that life outside of school was more attractive, we still had fifty-five, owing to nine transfers Irom Robertsdale. At our first class meeting, we elected Vineta Swango, president, and Ralph Andrus, vice president, while Irene Wright was again made secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gray.was chosen class adviser. At our next gathering we discussed the possibilities of giving a party but decided to wait until we had more in our treasury. ! he high school athletic records show that our class has a good representation through Harley Hoskins in the first team, and James Duggan, Lambert Nedjl, and Francis Kirn in the second team. We are proud to have so many wearers of the “W among our classmates. Carl Etter, our peppy yell leader, is also a member of the Sophomore class. The “Twenty-Two’s” were again brought into prominence by having Lambert Xedjl and Ruth Masterson in the Oratorical contest, both winning silver medals. W e feel sure that there are excellent chances for our class to keep its prominence both in athletics and oratory through the work of these people. There is also much hidden-talent., which will be developed by the Junior Play and the other enterprises of the third year, toward.w.h.ich we look with earnest expectation and the determination to succeed. —Kathleen McCoy.

U fflecfcr' History of the Freshman Class W hen we Freshmen came into High School, Sept. 7, 1919, we were eighty-seven in number. Since the Midyears have entered we have one hundred and one. The Freshmen fill about one-half of the assembly, the other three classes being crowded together to make room for us. We are not only the largest class but also the richest, our treasurer holding to our credit more money than any other—even if she is “Lesser.” We have had three meetings. At the first we elected officers. Those chosen were, Albert Dewey, president; Joseph Kraemer, vice president; Ruth Lesser, treasurer; and Helen Griffith, secretary. Mr. Bronson was selected for class adviser, but unfortunately, we had to lose him in the middle of the year. We feel that we are now wise enough to manage our own business, so we have not selected his successor. At the third meeting Florence Moore was chosen for class editor. The Freshmen take a very active part in the High School activities. John Murphy represented the high school in the County Oratorical Contest and was also in the Advanced Chorus. We have two members on the second basket ball team. At the local, and out of town games, the most of the rooters were Freshmen, whose loyalty and noise encouraged our team to their victories. We Freshmen were most prominent in the Carnival, our talents making The Dreamer, The Dixie Minstrels, The Museum, The Boxers, The Village Choir, and even Cannibal Isle, a “howling success.” We have done nothing in the way of entertaining yet. but we will gradually come out, and “beware,” for like all Freshmen we might do something unusual. A class that works as enthusiastically and unselfishly for the benefit of' the whole school as the present Freshman class does, is hard to find, but we are proud to do all we can for biting High.

Zweig Basket Ball Along the early part of last November, Coach Hart issued his first call for Basket Ball candidates. It was in the main, a very green squad that greeted the new coach the first night of practice. Only two first team men from the previous season were left; and it was up to him to develop an entirely new first team. After about two weeks of practice, in which the coach drilled the boys in the fundamentals of Basket Ball, a first team squad was picked. Those who survived the acid test conducted by the coach were as follows: Capt. Keckich, Thiessen and Hoskins, forwards; Benson and Burke, centers; Mathews, Yater and Goldsmith, guards. Then the squad was put through the most strenuous practices ever held in old Whiting High. They were drilled in floor play, alignment, formation work, signals, dribbling, reverse turning, bas- _ _ _ __ __ ket shooting and last, but not least, team Coach L. B. Hart , play. Our coach's middle name surely must be team play, for he certainly instilled it into the members of the team. Then too, he developed the team’s attack to such an extent that it brought woe to all of our rivals. Our team brought praise to the school from all the leading basket ball critics of the state. Never has Whiting High had a better basket ball machine than this year’s team. Thirty-three victories out of forty games played is our record for the past basket ball season. To pick out an individual star for Whiting High’s 1919-20 Basket Ball would be hard as the team was so machine like in its play. Capt. Keckich was one of the speediest forwards in the state and a dead shot at the basket. Thiessen, Captain-elect for 1920-21, was the surest shot on the squad, and a forward hard to beat in Interscholastic circles. We are looking forward to next year when “Bill” can add more glory to his fine basket ball record. Our center was none other than Martin Benson, belonging to the same family that gave Whiting High, George Benson, star guard in 1914. “Mitt” was a whale of a back guard after the “tip-off” and very few opponents ever got through him for a basket. Our floor guard, William Vater, certainly lived up to the family record in basket ball, proving to be one of the best offensive players on the team. Tom Mathew was one of the best defensive guards that ever donned the green and white. Tom’s specialty was breaking up the other team’s offensive before it got started. We will surely miss Tom next year. James Burke, who played the center position after the tip-off, was one of the star offensive players of the season. Julian Goldsmith was a guard feared by all of our opponents. Harley Hoskins, although the lightest man on the squad was a star forward having a very accurate eye for the basket.

Our teams scored nearly eleven hundred points for the season. The average score per game was Whiting High 32 to the opponents 15. Although the Sectional I ournament was lost to Emerson of Gary by a scant margin of three points, it did not show they had the better team. Whiting High was leading all the a' milil the middle ot the last half, when Emerson uncorked two long horseshoe baskets that proved our undoing. Critics at the tournament said the better team lost, so we have some consolation in defeat. Kekich was picked as all sectional forward, and Benson was picked as all-sectional backguard. Our second team must be mentioned as we are certainly proud of their iccoid. I hey were the undisputed second team champions of this section, and we believe they were the best second team in Indiana. Their record includes wins over every second team in this section, besides victories over the first teams of Hobart, Hebron and W est Hammond High Schools. The following boys should prove fine material for next year’s team: Lambert .vejdl, James Duggan, Harley Hoskins, Abe Stowell, Albert Dewey, Charles Hardy and Francis Kirn. Their work in affording the first team practice was one of the important factors of the latter’s success. Joe Melvin and Julian Goldsmith, Seniors, played remarkable basket ball throughout the season. e wish they were available material for next year’s team.

Many new features i nphysical education for girls have been introduced by Miss Liggett. olley ball has been the most popular sport for the girls this year. As we go to press a High School Volley Ball tournament for the girls is in progress. The best players in this tournament will constitute the girls’ team, that will represent Whiting High in a game with a Chicago school. We are sure the girls will uphold the fine athletic record set by the boys this year and win this game. Folk and aesthetic dancing have also been popular features of this department.

Bate in March our coach issued a call for all boys interested in track to report at the gymnasium. Of all the boys who reported, none had been in any track work before. So it was up to Coach Hart to drill them individually in the various events. It was not long until the squad began to show the earmarks of real track athletes, under the efficient tutelage of Coach Hart. They were drilled hard every night in sprinting, hurdling, distance running, and the various field events. At the time we go to press, the following boys were showing the best form in track work: Lambert Nedjl, William Thiessen, Albert Dewey and Tom Mathews in the sprints; Francis Kirn in the hurdles, illiam Thiessen, Tom Mathews, and Francis Kirn in the high jump; Kick Kekich, I om Mathews and Merrill Ivey in the broad jump and Martin Benson, Paul ickhorst and Xick Kekich in the distance runs. Following is the track schedule for 1920, as given out by Coach Hart: May 1—Triangular meet at Gary with Emerson and Hammond ; May 8—Lake County Track and Field Meet at Crown Point; May 15—Sectional Track Meet at LaPorte; May 20—Intcrclass Track Meet; May 22—State Intcrscholastic at Purdue. Base Ball As wc go to press. Coach Hart informs us that Whiting High School is to have a Base Ball team. Wc are glad to announce this fact to the community, as it means a step in advance for the athletic program of Whiting High. Heretofore, basket ball has been the big sport for our school. Now we can point with pride to the fact, that we are a three-sport school. Unfortunately we will be unable to publish the line-up of the team and the schedule, but we can predict a successful season. Coach Hart is arranging games with Emerson and Froebel of Gary and with the Chicago High Schools. As our coach has played college and professional baseball, we should be able to show our opponents something in the great American game. We hope that Whiting will always have a representative base ball team from this year on.

W- Gray hiting is justly proud of the broad, practical character of her high school curriculum and of the elaborate equipment for the teaching of the manual arts. But we are also amply prepared to train pupils for the more conservative requirements of university examiners, and for the exacting experiences of life. I he academic subjects have the predominant place in the course of study and in the registration of the average student. Tn Mathematics, a pupil may elect eight semesters of work—three in Algebra, three in Geometry, one in Trigonometry, and one in Review Mathematics. Two semesters of Algebra are required for graduation. Those preparing for college may meet the standards of the institutions they prefer by selecting from the more advanced courses. The one semester of Commercial Arithmetic should perhaps properly be listed with the commercial subjects. In Science, we offer year courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, General Science, and a semester’s work each in Physiology and Commercial Geography. Practically the entire west side of the second floor is given over to the department, the Physics and Chemistry laboratory facilities being particularly complete. Science subjects have double period sessions three times a week for individual laboratory work. Each person graduating must elect one year of Science, but General Science, offered for Freshmen especially, does not count toward this requirement. People may substitute a second year of science for advanced work required in language or mathematics. Latin has always been offered here and is now enjoying a renaissance of interest quite gratifying to lovers of the classics. In addition to the introductory year of grammar, there is second year Latin when the class reads Caesar. Cicero in the third year and Virgil in the fourth are offered when the number of those registering warrants the organization of a class. Last year, French superseded German as the modern language for high school instruction. Two years of French is now taught and the enrollment of the classes shows a genuine interest on the part of the pupils. The history course includes four classes: Early European History, one year; Modern European History, one year; English History, one semester; and American History and Civics, one year. The last named subject is required of all graduates. BIOLOGY CLASS CHEMISTRY CLASS In the English department four years’ work is offered, three being required for graduation. Oral English may be substituted, however, for English III. During the first two years the emphasis falls especially upon cor rectness in grammar, rhetoric and oral and written composition. The classics read during the first year are chosen especially for narrative interest. In the second year, more elaborate prose and poetic forms are taken up, and st le and structure receive more accent. 1 he third year is occupied bv a study of the history ot English Literature and of typical masterpieces. The ideal is to gi e the pupil first hand knowledge of the classic under discussion rather than to expect him to accept criticisms made by the author of a text. 1 he fourth year class takes up a history of American literature in the same manner, rounding out the year by an intensive study of modern prose and the writing of several longer and more ambitious themes. Commercial English is usually offered for the benefit of those in the commercial course, whose study of English must be narrowed to the most practical minimum, although there is no such class this year. The work in the music department has been made most attractive and interesting this year by the pleasing personality of the teacher, Miss Toombs. A ten minute private voice lesson is given once a week to any boy or girl who signs up for it. In this way, each individual improves his or her voice and thus the choruses improve as a whole. There are two chorus groups, each meeting twice a week. The advanced chorus, thirty in number, practiced long and diligently on the selection, “Blow Soft Winds,” by Vincent, which they sang a few times in the assembly, once in the auditorium and finally at the Annual County Oratorical and Music Contest at Gary on April 9. Every Thursday morning for about twenty minutes, Miss Toombs conducts assembly singing. This year a Thanksgiving program, in which the music department took a part, was held in the assembly. The advanced chorus sang the selection, “In the Fall of the Year.” There were two duets, one, “When the Leaves are Turning Gold,” sung by Grace Twitt and Erna Vater; the other, “The Nightingale and the Rose,” sung by Helen Griffith and Evelyn Tharp. In March the High School gave a carnival and Miss Toombs put on the show, “The Dixie Minstrel,” in which the following boys took part: Horace Gladden, Ralph Andrus, James Duggan, Charles Jones, Nicholas Keckich, Lambert Nedjl and Carl Etter. In the near future, an operettavcalled, “The Wind Mills of Holland,” will be given by Miss Toombs and the different parts will be chosen from the choruses. —Ruth Lesser. SECOND YEAR ART CLASS (At work on the “Reflector”) FIRST YEAR ART CLASS HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS “Art is not a thing to lie done, but the right way to do whatever is done.” —Warner. The Art Department occupies a spacious, well-lighted room in the Auditorium Building. It is equipped with adjustable drawing desks, folding chairs, cupboards, lockers and a cabinet containing a large collection of beautiful pottery for studies in still life. A visitor entering the room during school hours would see a happy, industrious group of students enthusiastically working out their problems. This might be a representative drawing in charcoal or water-color from still life or costumed model, or a problem in design which later will be applied to wood, pottery, leather or metal. The study might be one of color harmony with its application to practical problems of home decoration or costume design. It has always been the custom of the Art classes to decorate for school functions. They also advertise the class plays and other entertainments by making posters. This year the classes took up the problem of the lettering illustration and cartoon work for the Annual in place of the usual poster work. A regular two year course in Art is offered for general high school credit. A third year of advanced design and composition is given to those who intend to specialize later in Art work. —Dorothy Lesser. The shop and mechanical equipment of the Whiting High School is conceded to be as good as can be found in any high school of the state or any other state. In proportion to the size of our city and high school, the present equipment offers exceptional opportunity for work along mechanical and industrial lines. A conservative estimate of the valuation of the equipment of the Manual Arts shops may be placed at $18,000. There is, perhaps, no other one department of the school’s representing such a large amount of money invested in equipment. Our woodworking shops are located in two large rooms with supply and lumber rooms adjacent. The bench shop is equipped sufficiently to take care of twenty-four students at one time, while the turning room will accommodate twelve students at one time. The course for first year students is essentially a hand wood-working course, during the first semester. During the second semester, considerable experience is given in the use of general woodworking machinery, as the planer, table saw, jointer and band saw. The construction, use and care of the machines are given attention, and the history and development of woodworking tools and machinery is studied. Several correlations and related subjects are introduced, such as the growth and structure of wood, the lumber industry, and some principles of good design and mechanical drawing. The wood turning course is usually considered a second year woodworking course; the first weeks being given to turning exercises, in order to develop facility in the use of the machines and the ability to execute the difficult cuts required in wood turning. This course gives opportunity for the development of a very high degree of technical skill as well as considerable information in finishing and construction. The ability to work to a specific plan and accurate dimensions is emphasized. The metal working equipment consists of machine shop and forging. In the machine shop are five engine lathes, one universal milling machine, one drill press, one shaper, one grinder, one small speed lathe, one power hack saw, all driven by one motor by means of a line shaft and counter shafts. There are also benches, vises, hammers, squares, calipers, scales, taps, dies, and in fact all the accessories that make up a well equipped machine shop. The forging equipment consists of six Buffalo forges of the down draft type, with power blower, and other tools, such as hammers, tongs, anvils, flatters, pullers, etc. WOOD-TURNING SHOP MACHINE SHOP This year, there has been an enrollment of thirty boys in the first year woodworking class, and eight in the turning class. Each class works two periods each day. Considerable work was done for the school shops, such as tables, cases, tool cabinets, stools and such minor repairs as were necessary. Also a large number of articles were built for the student’s own use or for use at his home, such as medicine cabinets, taborets, piano benches, pedestals, poultry houses and rabbit houses, Indian clubs, dumb bells, lamps, stools with turned work, etc. An especial effort was made this year to make the work as practical as possible. The enrollment in machine shop work was small this year, it being used but two periods per day. The work in machine shop is of the practical type, consisting of straight turning, taper cuts, thread cutting, drilling, reaming, shaper work and milling machine operating. In fact any kind of work that can be done in an ordinary machine shop can be done in our shop. Much information is given by lectures, assigned readings and practical demonstrations. In this course the student finds much practical use for his mathematics, science ,and drawing. An effort is made to have the school shop operations and method of procedure conform to the actual shop practice of the industries as nearly as possible. The small enrollment this year may be accounted for in part, by the small number in the Junior and Senior classes, also to conflicts in the schedules of some, and the necessity for others to take courses that were required subjects. It seems too bad that the machine shop with such valuable equipment should be in use but two periods of the day. Some provision for a wider use of this plant really should be made and the student body take advantage of such an exceptional opportunity that has been provided for their benefit. Since a majority of the industries of this community are metal working industries and large numbers of our young men go into some branch of the metal working trades, this department of our high school should be one of the strongest. The Manual Arts department attempts to do three specific things for its students, these things may be thought of as its aims. First, the student should acquire a certain amount of motor skill or the ability to use his hands skillfully, in other words his mind should work through his hands. Second, the student should acquire a considerable amount of information, or knowledge. Third, the student should develop the ability to meet a problem and to solve it. The situations that may present themselves in his construction work will need to be met and a proper method of solution must be devised, if he is to solve the problem successfully. —Clarence Fischrupp; O. E. Merriman. The Public Speaking and Oral English room is next to the English room on the north end of the second floor of the High School Building. In the two Public Speaking classes it is the aim to study various selections with a view to interpreting the reader’s understanding as well as the author’s original thought. In this work the students learn to appreciate the literature of the different writings studied. Besides this phase the members of the classes work out and originate discussions on various topics of the day, usually of their own selection. Drill in organizing thought, and practice in talking extemporaneously is thus afforded. The class in Public Speaking I has also studied Parliamentary Law’ and the advanced class has taken up the telling of stories. The w’ork in the Oral English class has consisted mainly of extemporaneous discussion, vocabulary, story telling and reading. It has been the aim not so much to develop finished speakers in the department as to give some idea of how various phases of the work can be developed by the student himself. The principal enterprise of the department is the yearly preparation of pupils for the local and county oratorical contests. On March twelfth the semi-final oratorical contest was held in the High School Assembly. I here were no preliminaries this year because of the few entries. There w’ere seven contestants, four girls and three boys. Of these Evelyn 1'harp, Ruth Master-son and Helen O’Donnell won the right to represent the girls at the Auditorium on March 26. Arvine Green, John Murphy and Lambert Nejdl w’ere to represent the boys. Helen O’Donnell, speaking, “How the LaRue Stakes Were Won,” and John Murphy a “Memorial Day Address,” won the gold medals at the Auditorium, and the right to speak for Whiting in the county contest at Gary. Ruth Masterson and Lambert Nejdl won the silver medals, Evelyn Tharp and Arvine Green, the bronze medals. —Abe Stow’ell. DOMESTIC SCIENCE ROOM TYPEWRITING ROOM WOODWORKING SHOP The Commercial Department occupies the two rooms in the southwest corner of the first floor of the High School. The principal equipment consists of Underwood and Remington typewriters, an Underwood Duplicator and a Burroughs Posting Machine. The department has grown steadily in popularity since its organization. It offers instruction in book-keeping, shorthand, and typewriting; the required course being two years. Beside pupils taking the regular commercial course, there arc many others in the academic departments who choose their electives from among commercial subjects. Miss Transeau is the teacher of stenography and typewriting. The Gregg method of shorthand is used and pupils must be able to write one hundred words a minute on solid matter of average difficulty, and to transcribe notes accurately before graduating. This year there is only one class, a group of twenty, in Shorthand I. The Rational Method of touch typewriting is used. The students wrork, first for the Initial Certificate w’hich is awarded to those who w rite forty or more net words a minute for ten minutes. Then they try for the Special Credential Certificate, which is given for writing at the rate of sixty or more ne words in the same time. Those to whom the Special Credential Certificate is awarded are entitled to take the Underwood Credential Medal Exami-nati n twice a year. A silver medal is awarded to candidates who write at tJ e rate of seventy net words a minute for ten minutes and a gold medal to tho? t w?ho write at the rate of eighty net w?ords a ipinute. Examinations for the certificates are held every month. There are sixty-eight people now taking typewriting. Miss O’Rourke is in charge of the Bookkeeping class. The course comprises both the theory and practice of actual bookkeeping, given by means of four series of business transactions each covering a period of three months, fora certain kind of business. These sets consist of every day business transactions with commercial papers, such as checks, bills and notes, and cover all kinds of business from that of the single proprietor to that of the corporation. There are twenty-five people at present taking the course in bookkeeping. —Bella Silvian. Domesnc 390111 Two large rooms in the southwest part of the first floor of the high school building are occupied by the Domestic Science Department. The cooking room has equipment for about twenty pupils and the sewing room has five large tables and six machines. I'he cooking course treats specifically of foods; their production, preparation, and serving; these studies being closely interwoven with the practical aspects of dietetics and home management. It includes the testing of about one hundred and twenty carefully selected recipes. Lessons on serving have been made practical by giving of meals to out-siders at cost price. On Monday, March the fifteenth, the cooking girls served the basket ball team. Also for one week at the close of the first semester they served meals every day to the pupils who come to school from a distance. There are sixteen pupils in the cooking class. The object of this course is to raise the ideals of the future homemakers—to instruct them in those things, which will make life sweeter and more healthful. The main feature of the sewing course are practical lessons in constructive processes (stitches, seams, etc.) ; decorative problems, and actual garment construction. At the close of the first semester the sewing class had an exhibit in Gordon’s which showed the progress of the class. There are twen-ty-eight pupils in the sewing class. —B. K.

It is a comedy in three acts, being the first play of A. F. Thomas that reached the professional stage. It is an “entertainment” in the most popular sense, with unforced humor and kindly feeling. The humanity of the tale and the merry tangling of the plot will make it well worth coming to see. All three acts take place in a drawing room of the Randolphs at Saratoga during the racing season at the Spa. The characters are: Stuart Randolph, a good-looking young husband; Richard Belden, his brother-in-law; John, the genial uncle of Irene and Richard; Irene -Randolph, wife of Stuart; Kmily Ladew, her friend; and Nora, an elderly maid-servant. These are characterized respectively by Thomas Mathew, William Vater, Nicholas Kekich, Erna Vater, Beatrice Sharp and Helen Emerson. I he Randolphs and Beldens are spending the season in Saratoga, where it is hoped Irenes health will be improved. Emily Ladew, a plain, reserved, and rather dowdy friend of Irene, visits in town. Day after day, color-blind Nora is kept busy giving Irene colored medicines and mystic pills for her unknown ailments. I'he girl has a presentiment that she is going to die, for her papa and mamma died when young. L ncle John, in whom Irene has confided her worries, tries to humor her. Another of her worries is that Stuart must be provided with a wife, before she can die in peace. So Irene requests Miss Ladew to marry Stuart after her death. She, however, is insulted and vows to make Irene regret her words. When she turns out a regular bird of paradise in her new fineries, Stuart does not find it at all hard to be nice to Emily as Irene had asked. The new friends have a jolly time motoring and going to the races, and the wife soon grows jealous. She tells Emily that she wishes to change her plans but Emily reassures her that everything is all right. I'ncle John becomes sure that his niece is a hypochondriac when she asks him to help her change her plan. She disengages the osteopath and throws away her medicines. She invites Miss Ladew to tea and then tells that Stuart is a brute and a dipsomaniac. Emily says she hates a milksop; she will marry him nevertheless. But when Richard arrives, Emily tells him what a brute Stuart had been while Irene protests. Richard threatens to punish Stuart and Irene is horrified. Miss Ladew understands Irene’s game and, after Richard and Stuart have a quarrel, she tells Stuart that Irene had been saying such things because she is hurt by Stuart's flirtation with his wife’s friend. Stuart then, wishing to teach his wife a lesson, lugubriously tells her how sorry he is that he had mistreated her under the influence of drink and insists that she get a divorce. She thinks he wants the divorce so that he will be free to marry Emily. She goes out to talk to Emily but in the meantime Emily and Richard confide their engagement. Stuart is so angry that he drinks heavily and must be hidden away in his room at Irene’s return. She waits anxiously for her chance to see her husband. —Erna Vater. Whiting High School Carnival The first carnival that W hiting High School ever had, was held in the high school gym on Friday and Saturday nights, March nineteenth and twentieth. On both nights the gym was crowded- The pupils, who took part in it were doing their best, naturally the audience enjoyed the Carnival thoroughly. In company with a boy friend, I arrived in the gym around seven-thirty o’clock. The show was in full swing. We first started in to see the shows in the basement. Booths, where the shows were held, were erected on both sides of the room, leaving a place for refreshments at one end, and a main passageway between the two rows of booths. We first visited the ticket seller and bought a long strip of coupons. Then we started in to see the shows in order. There were six shows in the basement. First we noticed several boys walking around in bath robes, and found that they came from the Athletic Revue. 'That sounded interesting, so I said, “Let’s go in and see the matches.” Passing into the room, we saw Coach Hart getting the contestants ready. The first affair was a wrestling bout between the Russian Lion and the Irish Terror, which was a hard contested battle, the Terror coming out a little ahead. A boxing match was next on for the “paper” weight championship of the United States between Lefty George and One Round Morris. George won. All enjoyed a close match for the heavyweight championship. Kid Smith and Knockout Mike fighting it out. After coming out of the Revue where we had become heated yelling for our favorites, we proceeded to the refreshment stand presided over by Miss Yenne. We visited this place many times during the evening. Next we headed for the Museum where Stcnhouse’s Jazz Band and Bluebeard’s Morgue were the feature attractions. The morgue revealed the ghostly heads of Bluebeard’s wives, up in a row by their hair. The band was at its best and rendered several choice selections that would have been a credit to Sousa. Next door the cannibals were growling so we went in their booth and saw queer dances accompanied by dismal and ferocious wailings which chilled the hearts of many of the spectators. In the next booth we saw a pantomime entitled, “The Dreamer” which pictured an old man sitting by a fireplace dreaming of his past life. Bill Thiessen starred as the old man. Across the passageway the Dixie Minstrels were the big hits. Their melodious singing, ragged costumes, witty sayings, and care-free appearance kept up the laughter and interest of the audience. Beside this booth many were trying their luck in the Fish Pond, fishing for Kewpies and other trinkets. In the last booth the Village Choir were doing its best to drown out all the other noises ot the carnival by rendering several classic selections as, “Oh! Where Has My Little Dog Gone?” Margaret Walker was the star gum chcwer in this booth. The dancing Midget was another feature of this show. On this floor ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ in the Japanese tea room many little tables, shaded lights, and deft waitresses attracted people not caring to have their refreshments in the noise. W e went upstairs and visited the Third Degree, which consisted of walking along a long, dark, winding, narrow passageway, many miles, feeling the tingle of electricity, eating ghost fare and being frightened by skeletons with glowing eyes. The shuffling of feet was the predominant noise on the gym floor where many indulged in dancing. At several stands candy, confetti, canes, hats and so forth, were sold. Julian Goldsmith and Harold Humphreys, in brass buttons and blue, were circling through the crowd, placing breakers of the law under arrest and bringing them before the police court. Judge Williams looked very dignified behind his horn rimmed spectacles. Many were arrested for flirting and some for stepping on other people’s toes. Many were the offenders and woe to them. 1 he C arnival was a great success financially and every other way. Everybody had a good time and will eagerly look forward to the next one as I think it will be made an annual affair. My friend said as we went home, I hat sure was a great success. It was made so by the cooperation of the students.” I heartily agreed with him as did everybody else at the First Annual Carnival of Whiting High School. —Merrill Ivy. WHITING PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 10) auditorium with nine hundred permanent sittings, a natatorium and a gvm-uasium that will delight the most ambitious athletes. The plans for this entire construction program are already complete and have been accepted by the Board of Education. Just as early as prices will make it possible contracts will be let for the construction of all this work, and when complete and some of the old buildings removed our little city will have a school plant of which she may justly feel proud. In keeping with the plans for the improvement of the plant, the general equipment of the schools is being added to and improved. The corps of teachers has been increased and the best to be had appointed and I am convinced that at this time there is not a better teaching staff to be found in Indiana. These and other things have been done solely to the end that the boys and girls of Whiting may have an equal chance with any other boys and girls of the land. —J. H. Haskinson. Superintendent. The Social News THE SENIOR RECEPTION The Senior Recepton. the first event of the school year, was a great success. The Auditorium was festooned with streamers of purple and white, the Senior Class colors. Practically everyone of the High School students and teachers were present. Donald Williams welcomed the guests in behalf of his class, and Albert Dewey, the Freshman president, spoke in response. After a short program, dancing formed the greater part of the entertainment. Refreshments consisting of orange frappe and wafers were served. THE PARENT-TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The Parent-Teachers’ Association has been very active this year in planning dances and parties for the pleasure of the High School students. The first, a very pretty dancing party, was given during the Christmas holidays. Favors were distributed during the grand march amidst the unfurling of different colored serpentine confetti. Frappe and wafers were served during the remainder of the evening. Another pleasant party was held at the High School Auditorium on Wednesday evening, February 11, 1920. A cake was raffled off, being won by Miss Eva Sharp. Favors were also given to Miss Jean Hay and Mr. Thomas Naef in the prize waltz. A masquerade dance took place at the High School Auditorium on Saturday evening ,March 13, 1920. At the close of the grand march, Miss Helen Miller was awarded the prize for having the most artistic costume, and Mr. Thomas Naef, for having the most comical costume. A large number enjoyed the dancing and good fellowship of the evening. fC . hS TICKET CONTEST DANCE 'Those losing in the Basket Ball Ticket Contest gave a party to the winners it the High School Auditorium on Saturday evening, January 24, 1920. The hall was very prettily decorated in red crepe paper. Mr. and Mrs. Grubb started the festivities, leading the grand march. A few alumni furnished the music for the dancing. Dainty refreshments had been provided. BASKET BALL DINNER Mr. Hoskinson and Mr. Grubb gave a dinner in honor of the basket ball teams on Monday evening, March 15, at the Domestic Science room in the High School building. Talks were given by Mr. Grubb, Mr. Hoskinson, Mr. Merriman, Coach Hart and Captain Keckich. The players of the first team elected William Thiessen as their captain for next year. A three course dinner was served by the girls of the cooking class. All agreed that Miss Kirk and her helpers surely understand how to cook and serve the most delicious food. —Helen Emerson. THE TEACHERS as the Freshmen see them Mr. Spitler with the bald spot, Always wants us to school on the dot; But if we are late Because of a date For us he makes it quite hot.—M. C. The teacher who has a nice class, Is Miss Broad, a plump, little lass; But if we are talking She’ll make us go walking, To the man whom we cannot sass.—M. I. Of Mr. Bronson we all feel a-lack, Because he has never come back, He couldn’t be beat At an aerial feat, Of his feats “over here” we’ll keep track.—F. M. There was a teacher called Transeau, Nobody knew how she talked so; Her disposition was nice, Her appearance precise, And shorthand she certainly did know.—B. H. Mr. Buerkholtz is a pedagogue tall, Chief guardian of the lower hall; He’s reading the papers, But sees all our capers, We don’t catch him napping at all. Mr. Merriman is rightly his name, As a right merry man has he fame; He’ll sell you a ticket From behind the wicket, At the door of the basket-ball game. The physical trainer’s Mr. Hart, With him the boys would ne’er part; At the games, with his hands He pulls out the strands Of hair which are now far apart.—R. S. _ Miss Danforth’s a favorite teacher. Although she is quite a preacher; But, oh my her tests They surely are pests. And are her unpopular feature.—R. S. There was a teacher named Kirk, Who never let her classes shirk; For ’twas cooking she taught, Believe me or not, Once there, you sure had to work.—B. H. Miss Liggitt, the gym teacher, has grace, We all like to look on her face She is very pretty And also is witty, And leads many a man a good race.—F. M. A teacher with initials J. M. T. Is just as nice as can be; She knows how to sing, And her voice sweetly doth ring, She’s a most pleasing person to see.—R. L. Miss Kirby is a teacher in Math., All the Freshmen keep out of her path; And when she is near They all disappear, For fear of arousing her wrath.—A. H. There is a teacher named Yenne, The Hunks that she gives are many; She writes, as they say, Five yellow cards a day. But to the girls she doesn’t give any.—A. H. There is a teacher named Hill, Who has a very good will; He’s as gentle as a lamb, But when he gives an exam It’s worse than taking a pill.—A. H. A new teacher around here’s Mrs. Mackey, Whose husband just lately wore khaki; She always comes late, It must be her fate To teach the kids history, by crackey.—F. M. There was a teacher named O’Rourke Who came from the city of Cork; When she reached the U. S. A. She said, “I will stay In Whiting, instead of New York.—C. K. Mr. Grubb’s the principal here, He’s also the principal fear Of those who ditch school. Or who break any rule; But he’s everyone’s friend that’s quite clear. Miss Douglas is supervisor of art, Right busily plays she her part; She teaches costume design, Handwork and drawing so fine, You’ll appreciate her skill from the start A teacher of Speaking’s Mr. Gray, Who is individual in his way ; For false interpretation And mispronunciation Always provide him with plenty to say.—R. S. The long hall is deserted or nearly so; a voice, not distinct, can be heard at times from a classroom. A student steps quietly from the Assembly to a drinking fount and as quietly returns. A pedagogue hurries noiselessly towards the Principal’s office. We catch the spirit. Corridors silent, classes in session. The bell rings! Students everywhere. They pour from the Assembly, from upstairs and downstairs, from shop and gymnasium. The place is alive with them: coming, going, running, walking, pushing, jostling, laughing. Here a group of girls all talking at the same time, and boys shouting remarks to hurrying companions; over there the principal is conversing quietly with a teacher. Hall beginning to thin out; all is getting quiet again; a student comes from Assembly to a drinking fountain and back again. Teachers close the doors. The bell rings! All is quiet. INTERMISSION PERIOD —Agnes Riordan PRESHIES. MERfiX OLD MAID’S. AlOflt FRESHIES HELEN O’DONNELL JOHN MURPHY Representatives in the Declamatory and Oratory Contests THE COUNTY ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY CONTESTS On Friday ninth, the Annual Lake County Oratorical and Declamatory contests were held, according to the custom of several years, in the auditorium of the Froebel School at Gary. A large and enthusiastic delegation from Whiting High School, accompanied by two representatives, Helen O’Donnell and John Murphy, went to the contests. The station was what most of us would term “a live place” on this important morning. The usual humdrum monotony of waiting for the train was broken by such remarks as, “Oh, kid, let’s see your dress! It’s a dream,” and, “I like your cheek, using all my powder,” and finally, “Oh ! There’s John—he’s got a green tie on! Dosen’t he look fine!” and so forth world without end. Gary was a lively town that day, for eight schools were represented in the contests. The amount of various colored ribbon sold by the department stores, would have been sufficient to have hung Haman to one of the tallest trees in California. Green and white was in evidence everywhere, and in decidedly liberal quantities in some cases. Most of us went to the Y. M. C. A. for lunch, though others, after sad experiences of former occasions, refreshed themselves elsewhere. Those of us who did patronize the Y. M. C. A., are too well bred to go into detail about our viands especially when some items were not quite according to Hoyle. I he Declamatory and Choral Contests were held at two o’clock, and everyone in the auditorium was probably hoarse when he went out. The representative of each school, spoke in his turn followed by the chorus from the same town. 1 he speakers all did well, and though many of the selections were familiar to most of us, they were none the less interesting. The choruses sang in creditable fashion. When Helen O’Donnell, the contestant with whom we had most to do, gave her selection, “How the La Rue Stakes ere Lost, there was not much room for doubt, that she had taken either the first or second place. The Whiting Chorus sang, “Blow Soft inds, and then there was a long wait for the judges’ decision. During this time nearly everyone in the auditorium yelled enthusiastically. Some clever young fellow tried a belated April Fool stunt on the audience by hissing “s—sh—sh,” making us think that the judges were ready at last. But then he started up a ‘‘Let her go, Gary” and we all felt rather disgusted and somewhat cheap. When the judges finally did report we learned that Whiting had won second place and Emerson first. The Emerson chorus won first place also, and East Chicago second. At eight o’clock, that evening the Oratorical Contest took place, pre-ceeded by music from the Emerson Band. Among the speakers, Froebel won first place and Emerson second. John made an excellent showing and has the chance of winning first place in other years. We were all very sleepy when it came time to take the train and it is probable that there w'ere several headaches on Saturday. Even Monday morning many students felt like “The morning after the night before.” —Etta Diggs THE COACH As the curtain drops on a most successful year in Athletics our attentions are directed to Coach Hart, who in the main is responsible for the splendid showing made during the present year. Not only has he developed winning teams but he has also instilled the spirit of fair play, clean athletics, and physical development, which after all is the aim and goal of all interscholastic contests. Having had a vast experience in athletics Coach Hart is well prepared to advise and direct in all branches of sport. He began his training in Adrian High School, later entering Adrian College, Michigan and before his graduation held the Captaincy in Baseball and Basketball, and had the honor of playing on three State Championship teams. Before enlisting where he served two years in France, he was Director of Athletics at Wabash, Indiana. The coming of Coach Hart to Whiting has instilled new spirit into athletics and we look forward to even greater success under his direction next year. ON THE SIDELINES “Why, here we are at the auditorium at last, Nellie. Come! Run up these stairs. Just see the long line. We must get where we can see well!” “Oh, don’t pull me so, Wilhemina! I don’t see what you’re hurrying for. You’d think were going to see the president.” “Come, Nellie, come! Where shall we sit? Oh, now7 back here. See that girl over there with the pink tarn. Well, we’ll stand up there on that radiator, beside her.” “Oh, Wilhemina, do sit down. Why, people in Punkin Hollow would think you were crazy.” “Were you speaking to me—oh, there goes one of the East Chicago team. He looks as though he didn’t know what a basket ball was—and see that girl over there with the red and white streamers pinned on—stuck up thing! Oh, Nellie, how can you be so quiet?” “Well, I don’t see any reason for getting so terribly excited. Why is everyone yelling? Who is this boy? What is he getting out in the middle of the floor for?” “Why, that is Carl Etter. He is our yell leader. There, he’s getting ready to have us yell—now, Rah! Rah! Rah! Why, Nellie! Why don’t you yell? Yell for Whiting!” “I certainly don’t see any use in yelling your lungs out. That doesn’t win the game. I should think that the quieter you kept, the better they could play.” “Now here comes the teams. Look Nellie, those are the Whiting boys. Oh just see East Chicago. I think that WTiting has the best players but also the best looking team. Oh, now' they’re going to toss up for the basket. Oh! East Chicago got it.” fflecfeir “Oh, I wish they’d play, Wilhemina!” “Now they’re playing—Oh Tom! Ah—almost!—Nick ! Nick! Oh wasn t that perfectly wonderful! hy he made that basket from the middle of the floor—Oh, dear, there goes a point for East Chicago. Nellie, how can you be so quiet?” ho is that tall light-haired boy over there? He is going to throw a basket now.” 1 hat’s Bill! Hill I hiessen. Oh he made it too. Just think three to two in favor of Whiting, Close but exciting.” “Oooh ! What are they shooting for!” “Don’t be frightened, Nellie, they always shoot a pistol when the first half is over. Nothing to hurt you.” “Here comes that yell leader.” “Strawberry, short-cake. Huckleberry pie, V------1-----Nellie, Yell— Whiting High School—Yes! Yes!” “Who is that yelling over there?” “Oh, that’s East Chicago, bum-yellers. N|dw we are going to drown them out.” “Yell! Nellie! Yell!” “Are they going to play again now?” “Yes, here they go.- Oh! Oh! Oh! It’s a tie. Good for you, Benson, four to three.” “Oh, what’s the matter with him?” “Just knocked out. He’ll be all right in a few minutes, after we yell. Nine rahs for Nick.” “Is he better now?” “Yes, they’re going to play now. That-a-boy, Tom! Five to four now.” “Well how many more minutes? Five to five! Oh! One half minute. Bill! There! Six to five—Whiting, dear old Whiting. Why Nellie, aren’t you glad ? Come I’ll introduce you to one of the players.” “Joe, meet my friend, Miss Hayseed.” “Glad to make your acquaintance, Miss Hayseed; what did you think of the game?” “Oh isn’t it too bad, that you boys have to get so warm, chasing that ball around. I should think you would be bored stiff.” “No indeed. Miss Hayseed. I think it is great. Don’t you, Wilhemina!” “Yes, indeed, it must be perfectly wonderful to play on the team, when it is so thrilling to be on the sidelines!” —Ruth Lesser Tonic for students behind in their work. “KETCHUP.” HINTS TO FRESHMEN Don’t be sentimental.

So they started for the Glen, passing rapidly by the old Gray Kirk surrounded by the Toombs of the dead. The Broad road they had chosen led over a Hill and through a forest where Elder trees cast an enticing Shade. Finally they paused before an old Brown Schack the Walls of which were covered with Hardy Green Ivy. “Dewey start home now?” asked the Goldsmith, “Or shall wre Hazard a visit to the Sharp old gardner who lives here? I should like to take something home to my wife. Country cream Sowers but some Flowers would Gladden her Hart.” “Oh no, let’s not bother him. He might Czoka fellow7 if he was not in the Wright mood. See the huge Lock on the door, let’s Stover in.” But they decided to knock first and immediately heard a Meek voice calling, “Kaminski.” They discovered the gardner not inclined to Harmon (e) at all. After some Thiessen he showed them his garden where he Diggs every day. He gave each a Violet plant. ‘ Hurry home or they may Wilt,” he instructed. “Yes, let’s go,” said the Miller. “I must buy some Grubb for supper, especially Sugar.” Fill Your Tank With RED CROWN And Your Crank Case With POLARINE and you will be sure of all the power, miles, and speed that your motor is capable of developing. jt jX .j� Drive in at any Red Crown Filling Station STANDARD OIL COMPANY Indiana CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 2.
