We’re crazy ’bout our teachers ,We know they love us , too,
For they seldom ever scold us ,No matter w hat we do.
D o they?
Mr . Dodds thinks we ’re j ust per fect ,We ’re the be st class anyway,”
They’re a credit to . the High School .That is what you hear him say .
I sn ’t it?
Miss Tow ne thinks we’re great in Latin ,
We read C ic’r o by the page ,
And we n ev e r .m is s constructions ,Only once in ’bout an age .
D O w e ?
Mr . Patterson knows w e ’re angels ,There’s no doubt at all
, to him
He says w e’
r e' the greatest ever
We learn History with a v im .
Don ’t w e?
And Miss Bennett love s our Math . class ;O ur con struction s are the best ;And w e always m ake 1 00
On every single test .Don ’t we?
Miss Scotten reads our English them es ,She thinks they are ’sehr gut’;To grade them m i sse s hours of sle ep ,And give s us A, to boot .
Doesn ’t she?
And so you see how sw eet w e are .
And how our teachers love us ;They spend the ir tim e being n ice to us ,And saying n ice things o f us .
Don ’t they?

A Pract i cal Joke and Its Resul tsN one o f the most fashionable districts of Indianapolis lived a Mr. and
M r s . Charles B . Marks . Charle s B w as a pr om in ent lawyer of the
city and spent m o st of his tim e in his down - town office , while M r s .
Marks w as a w e l l - known and quite popular society lady w ho spent
m ost of her tim e in entertain ing or attending pink teas . She had
com e from a poor, Obscure fam i ly of Southern Ind iana and , becom ing very proudafter m arrying the popular law yer , she did not l ike to have her poor relatives
m entioned in the pre sence of her rich friends . I f any on e did speak of them , well ,i t w as to the ir sorrow for Mrs . Marks had an uncontrollable temper . One of th eservan ts , Bridget , by nam e , had been cruelly discharged at the m ere utteran ce ofher m istress’ fam ily nam e . The scene of the d ism is sal , accord ing to the reports o f
the other dom e stics , w as som ew hat on the order of a bargain sale .
Now Charles B . , loved his wife , as all good ‘
hubbies’ should , but he w as aware
o f her one fault , - a fi ery tem per , —and sought som e m eans O f conquering i t . An
idea cam e to him w hen he heard about the ball to be g iven by h is better half .Mrs . Marks had invited several of her m ost intim ate friends to her hom e , and
Charles B . . thought that it would be a m ost opportune tim e to correct his frau’s
fault . S O the next day he sent an invitation to Ezekie l Stubbs , brother O f Mrs .
Marks . The invitation w as so urgen t that E z ekiel thought it best to accept it . He
Spent the n ext m orning in readingfrom a book on etiquette and a bout one o ’clock
departed for the hom e O f his s iste r in Indianapolis .
Everyth ing at Mrs . Marks ball w as progre ssing splend idly w hen suddenly
the m aid in l ivery announced Mr . Ezekie l Stubbs , and into the ball room m arched
E z ekiel in all the glory w hich his dear Old Brown county hom e could put forth .
What becam e o f Mrs . Marks?— w ell , she w as nearly on the verge O f hyste rics , andw hen her w ell - m eaning but over - j oyed brother cam e up to her and em braced her ,it w as too m uch , and she fainted aw ay in his strong arm s .
The guests w e re shocked ; even Mr . Marks had not expected such a turn inaffairs , and it w as w ith m uch d ifficul ty that he explain ed . When M r s . Marks
revived , in stead o f see ing the room vacant as she had supposed it w ould be , shesaw it full o f laughing face s and she knew that her gue sts were sti ll her friend s .
and so the ball w ent m erri ly on .
Thus at last one fiery tem per w as subdued ,for M r s . Marks
,afte rw ards , w as
alw ays ready to receive and w elcom e he r re latives,and her house - hold no longe r
l ived in d read O f that keen - edged tool which grows sharper w i th constan t use .

Just here the conversat ion turned to on e loud shriek from the girls . Nina
had knocked her glass o f w ate r over and it w as dripping on Alm a’
s dress . Their
scream s brought the proprietor to the rescue .
“D O , le t

Cave in the Mountain s . O ne day she captured a Band of People andshut Them up in Her Gloom y Hom e . This m ade the People veryUnhappy, and the re w as m uch Wai ling and Gnash ing o f Teeth . In
vain did They offer the Ogre ss Gold and Silks and Precious Je w els i fShe would only le t Them go, but She w as O b dur ate , as w el l as very W icked ,
and w ould not l is ten - to Their Pleadings .
At last , m oved by the ir sad Dem eano r, and 'The ir Briny Tears , She called
Them al l together and spoke thus —“Whereas You, m y Prisoners , l ike not Your
Pre sen t Abode , -
and'

fully and well on Bane of m y D i spleasure and a Ce rtain Calam i ty w hich Shal l b efal l ’You. I f You do th i s Task, so shall You be free to go Your Way , wh i ther Itlead s You.
When - the People heard this They w e re m uch delighted and there w as m uchMerrim en t and Joy , but w hen They heard the Tasks they w ere to p e rform Theyturned Pale like unto Death and They were sore Afraid .
How ever ,’
Fear o f the Calam i ty se t Them about the ir Tasks , and Theyw orked and labored for m any Years . The Work w as d ifficult an d ted ious , but the
Thought of the Dreadful Calam i ty kept Them at it . At last all but One had fin ish

Dreadful Calam i ty fi l led The ir Hearts w i th D ark Fore - bod ings . The One w orked
Nigh t and Day and He grew],Weak and Pale and H is E y e s gr e w dul l w i th Fatigue ,
yet He dared not stop un ti l H is Task had been com pleted . The Appo in ted Daydrew neare r and neare r unti l at last on ly One Day w as le ft to the One for f in ishing His task . Fear of the Calam i ty w as in Every Heart , but They cheered the Oneand He w orked diligen tly .
The Noon of the Last D ay cam e , and sti l l He to iled ou,—Even ing and Night
and yet He plied H is Tools . Late into the Nigh t He w orked and then , j ust as th e

At Daybreak the Ogress cam e to the Prison and found the Tasks fin ished , so
she w as com pelled to give Them Thei r Freedom . Wi th Light Hearts They le ft theGloom y Cave and w en t down the Steep Mountain to The ir Hom e in the Valley .

Those Horr ible Schoo l BooksSAT at m y l ibrary table , thinking or rather idly dream ing . Before m e

Presently,as I sat idly gazing around I heard a still sm all vo ice whisperin g ,
Listen ! ” For a tim e I could hear nothing ; then , listening m ore C lo sely, I heardw hat was it ? - a quarrel . I soon found out from the w ord s that it cam e from the

For a tim e I paid no attention to their rem arks . Soon how ever the conver

not help hearing them—that w as all there w as about it .

w hen every one else w as playing ball , I was w inding m y w eary w ay
toward the library. Upon ar r Iv m g at m y destination I found no one
there except the l ibrarian . Without any delay, I began m y task . I had read about
the travels of Dante and his friend Virgil through Purgatory and had just begunreading of their travels in Hades when , overcom e w ith e x aus t ion from the ravages
O f that dreadful desease Spring Fever, I fe ll asleep . The vision I had that I shall
never forget. It w as as fo llows
Dante and I had just passed through the gate s o f H ades . There w as an aw ful
sight . On all sides could be seen large fi res being replen ished by fanged dem ons .
Souls could be seen w rithing in their last agon ie s while o thers w ere begging for
m ercy—but receiving none .
W e passsd on , through scen es like th is , for a long t im e . Finally w e cam e to
a huge iron d oor which opened and clo sed , and w e w e were in a large room w here
the heat w as i ntense . There , in a r ow , stretching as far as he eye could se e , w ere
bulging sacks , suspended from the ceil ing . I ga z ed in wonder at thi s scene .

A PROPH E CYBERNE , SWITZERLAND , June 1 4 , 1 92 1 .
EAR DIARY, The boon fri end of m y travels , as I con your pages th iseven ing , m y thoughts fly back to the long ago when I w as a wonder
ing! girl s tudying m y b ig geogr ahy and hoping that som e day I m ightsee the world , especially tho se places fam ed in song and story . At
las t som e of m y d r eam s have been realized , for even now I can vie w
fr om m y window the p icture sque and fam ed m oun tain s of Sw itzerland .
I cannot explain why thoughts of hom e and friends clam or for audienceton ight but m y m in d s eem s continually to revert to Tipton , Ind U . S . A. , and
especially to the faculty of our dear ol d h igh school during m y last year there .
I t s eem s strange that in m y wanderings I should have m e t every m em ber o f
the faculty except tw o, our beloved Patte rson , and Miss Bennett . The hom epapers however told m e long ago that Mr . Patterson had settled dow n on a pl an s
tat ion in the south where he w as peace fully lead ing the ”S im ple Li fe .
”
W i th y our help , cl ear d iary , I am able to recall the places where I m et all m yo ther high schoo l teache rs . I find on page fo rty, that wh i le on a crowdedthorough fare in Boston , the fam ed h i s toric cente r o f culture , I m e t Miss Towne , or
as she proudly in form ed m e M r s . J . Ross Parks . Her husband I learned w as pastor
O f an aris tocratic church of the city . She , however , w as j ust the sam e sw e et l itt lew om an I had always known her to be . Her City life had not Changed he r , itse em ed . She w as ab le to in fo rm m e of Miss Bennett , w ho had attained her ambitiou and had becom e a latin teache r in som e large school o f the West . Som eday I expect to hear of he r being m arried and living a contented life on a ranch .
By again turn ing the leaves of m y diary, I find account of m y m eeting w ith our
fo rm er principal . One May m orn ing as I w as roam ing am ong the grand old tree son the cam pus at Harvard Un ive rsity I m e t Pro fe ssor Dodds and he in form ed m e
that he has the hono r of be ing a m em ber O f the faculty of that great in stitution .
I canno t say that I w as at al l surprised to l earn of his good fortun e for every one
in Tipton used to predict a bright future for him .
And m y diary te lls m e that m onth s late r when weary and hom e sick , m y foo tsteps led m e i nto that part of the C ity of London , where tow ering spire s b espoke the tem p le s O f God , I w as de st ined to m eet an othe r teacher . I entered thecathe
‘
dal to the fam i liar s trains of the”
Messiah " and seated m ysel f in a pew r e
serv ed for strangers . Lost in re trospect ion I becam e oblivious to m y surround
ings unti l a fam iliar form stepped fo r ward and began to d irect the spl endidchoir . I m en tally queried , where hav e I seen that face?” In a fl ash it cam e backto m e . Mr . Deetz . m y secience and m usic teacher of the long ago . He had , in
deed , becom e a wonderful in structor and after the service I carr ied aw ay w i th
m e the sweet m em ory of the m usic I had heard in the peaceful d im ness of
that sacred place .
Looking at m y next date , I find a lapse of several years , then the nam e
Scotten . O f course I have not forgotten— She w as our English teacher . Whow ould have thought that She would eventual ly becom e an artist? Still , I can r e
m em be r of her once“
m aking a sketch in w ater colors for a calendar . Whatwonderful changes Tim e can accom plish !
I have been able , with your help , cl ear diary, to account for all the m em bers
of m y high school faculty and I now s it dream ing the beautiful days of
youth , gone forever .

”And he threw h i s pipe down on the table and

The light fromthe grate cas t a ruddy glow over the oriental hangings of theden

A Halflhour Wi th A Hote l C lerkhave a friend w ho is a C le rk in a sm all hote l and one day last week I
stepped in to spend a few m inutes w ith him . It w as not a very busy
tim e of the day yet there were a few people com ing and going .
Just afte r w e had exchanged gree tings , a traveling m an cam e rushing
in and inquired :”
What tim e does that l im ited car leave for Kokom o?”
Eight - thirty .
Wil l I have tim e to se e a custom er and catch the car at the j unction?
That d epends upon the nature of your vis it , but I th ink that y ou will , i f y ou
hasten .
Just at that m om en t a gentlem an cam e from the writing room and asked for
som e stationary.
H
When do they get m ail out o f here for Ind ianapol is?” he asked .
”
I t m ust be in the Post O ffice not later than seven o’
clock,
”m y friend replied .
I s that the last m ail to - n ight?Yes , sir ;
As he w ent back to the w riting room he m uttered som ething about this tow n
being the w orst to w n he knew o f, for m ail accom odat ion s .
The next inquiry cam e from a m an w ho w as evidently a stranger : Say,young
m an , w asn’
t there an in terurban w reck near here last fal l?”
”
Yes , s ir , just outside o f tow n .
”
What w as the cause o f it?”
Failure o f the freight crew to Obey orders . They tried to get past a ce rtainsw itch and in rounding a curve ran into the passenger ca r .
”
”
H ow m any people w e re kil led?”
S ix .
”
I suppose that they have everything settled by this tim e?I don ’t kn o w .
”
And a further conversation upon that topic w as interrupted by a m an who
cam e to the coun ter fo r a cigar .
”
I w an t som ething m ild ,
” he sa id .
“
Five or ten cents ?
I never sm oke anyth ing le ss than a ten - cen t cigar . What is that ove r in thecorn er? ”
”
That is a ’Senator Beveridge ,’ one O f our best sellers .
I d on’
t kno w the brand but they look good enough to try once,any - way. Are
the y three for a quarter?”
’
Yes , s ir .
”
Al l r ight , give m e t w o m ore .
Wh ile the Cigar sale w as be ing m ade the proprie to r cam e in and at the fi rst
opportun ity asked :”
Did the m an in tw enty - four get away a l l r ight?”
”
Why , I don’
t know . Where did he w ant to go?
He wanted to go on the Lake Erie to Frankfort . I told h im that w e would
cal l him when the cab cam e . H as it been here?””
Yes , s ir , ten m inute s ago.
Well the only th in g for him to do now is to catch the in terurban car for thej unction and i f it is on tim e he can m ake connection s all right .”
W ith that the proprieto r went up stair s to stra ighten up m atte rs w ith th eoccupant of tw enty - four . A few uncom plim entary rem arks were exchanged but a t
las t the gen'
t l em an le ft and , when last seen ,was hastening to w ard the car .
After al l had again becom e quie t , a m an in the corner , w hose very appearance
stam ped him as a“kicker ,
” broke the si lence by asking what w as“the best hotel in
Frankfort .”
“I am not ab le to an swe r your question , m y fri en d told him , th e Coulte r and
the Garber houses are both cgn side r ed fi r s t - class hote ls and I do not questio n th e
m atter at a l l . ”
The kicker satisfied his grouch by turning to a m an at h is s ide and com plain
ing about - hote ls in gen eral and poin t ing out som e of the weaknesses o f ce rtainplaces he had honored by his patronage .
My friend called m y attention to a group in the other corn e r. There w as the
proprie tor , discussing with tw o "
drum m er s” the question of local o ption or saloon s .
“Why , he said , when the appl icat ion s began to be m ade , on e fe l low cam e t o
m e and asked i f the re w as any Obj ection to h is runn ing a nice , quiet place in thebuild ing adj o ining the hotel . ‘
Nice,quie t place
,
’ I asked him ,
’
w hoever heard o f asaloon being a n ice quiet p lace?”
This rem ark brought on a good deal of laughter and I found that it w as t im e
for m e to go. AS I w as going , the clerk asked m e to com e back som e t im e when
they were busy and see how they did th ings .
I cam e to the conclus ion that a hote l m an m ust know , or at least is supposed
to know everything and be ab le to tel l i t quickly .

Se l ling Shoes to Young LadiesQ O D m orn ing, Miss Jones . What can I do for you this m orning?
“I should like to look at a pair of shoes . I am not sure j ust w hat
I want and am rather hard to suit .“You wish to see som eth ing in the w ay of a dress shoe? About
what s ize ? Oh , y es about a t w o and a half B . All right , here issom ething that I am sure wi l l suit y ou. I t is on e of our latest lasts— som ething
new , dressy , and at the sam e t im e neat . Oh ! y ou don ’t l ike the to e . All r ight , take
a look at th is one . I t is on e of the best shoes we have ever sold and for on lythree and a hal f . Try it on . W ith it s short vam p , i t m akes a very n eat appearance
on ones foot .”
I tri ed to get the shoe on her foo t , but a fter m any trial s gave it up and saidAre y ou sure it i sn
’t a“D”
w idth in stead of a She an sw e red that she
m ight possib ly have been m i staken in the w idth but that she n ever w ore over
a tw o and a hal f. S O I tried a four”
D” in a three and a hal f do llar shoe .
I found that it fi t per fectly but she didn ’t seem to think so and to every three
and a half dol lar Shoe there w as som e Obj ection or o ther .
I next tried on a three dollar and finally a tw o and a half dollar shoe . Ah !
there w as an exact fi t, and I wondered w hy i t i s that a cheap shoe alw ays fit s so
m uch bette r than an expen sive on e . But it would n ever have done to have con
jectur ed on what w as pas sm g through the secret recesse s of the young lady’
s m in d
for she w as probably figuring up what she would have le ft after subtracting car fare .
Afte r thankin g her for her patronage and te lling her to com e again . I recorded
the sale , w i th m any b l e ss ings for the m an w ho started the secret size code .

The Ancestors of the Hurons(A ft er the s t y le of the D eC ov e r l y Pape r s)
I got m ost o f m y knowledge concern ing the ancestors o f the Huron s , duringa visit m ade last fal l . My friend ,
Esther, knowing that I w as o f a quiet nature , le ft
m e to m yself .
After getting our lessons , w e retired at the aw ful hour o f twelve . I w as so
sleepy that I fe lt sur e’
I could sleep til l noon the next day ; how ever w hen the clockstruck thr ee ,
. I aw oke,this being m y usual hour of rising , for between three and
school t im e , I always prepare m y Eng lish le sson . As I could not return to m y
Slum bers , and d id not w ish to disturb Esther , I quietly arose and dressed , then
sought the drawing room .
I d id not have m y”
D eC ov e r l y Papers with m e , so I had to am use m yself in
som e w ay , I have alw ays had the reputation of being of a very inqu iring m ind ,
and , seeing a corner of the room that looked quite in terest ing , I approached it and
drew back the curtains . They conceal ed ,
’
as I then learned , the portra its of th e
Hurons . They were arranged in order from an ancient ancesto r down to thepresen t generation .
I began by carefully inspecting the fi rst of the serie s of portraits and 10 ! to m y
great aston ishm en t , i t w as the likeness o f a full - blooded Huron Indian , and by his
S id e w as a w h ite wom an , his wife . The next few d id not interest m e but I noticed
that they gradually assum ed the features of the white s , and the ir face s cam e to lookm ore intelligent . The next that in terested m e w as the portrait of a handsom e
young m an dressed in the style of the Revolutionary days . Under the picture it
told o f his narrow e scape from death in the w ar , and you can’t guess the reason
I t w as because he took the fever j ust the day before he had inten ded to enlist .
It w as at this tim e that I reali z ed that the nam e”
Huron ” cam e from the ancien t
ancestor , the Huron Indian . Usually people o f Indian decent are lazy but not so
w ith the presen t Huron s , w ith the exception of Esther , w ho is rather slow in learn
ing . The last picture was that of E sther and her younger brother . She looked so
sw eet that I ga z ed at it , Spell bound until Esthe r herself entered the room ,in a
search for m e .
She had ari sen at ten o ’clock and I did not reali z e that I had been am id st her
ancestors fo r six hours . She told m e to hurry or w e would no t get to school intim e for the third period . She invited m e back and when I revisit h er she is going
to give m e a ful l history o f he r ances tors . She seem s to be ,quite proud of the fact
that her great, great , great , great , great , great , great, great , gr eat , grand father w as
a Huran Indian .

The G r eat Tour nam ent
N Septem ber the fi fth , in the year n in e -teen hundred ten , a gr eat cr owdof people gathered at a large building in T ipton , wher e it w as to b e
decided w ho should ente r the l ists of a great tour nm en t , which w as
sure to com e . S ix captain s or judges were at the head of affair s and
were to dec ide wh ich pe r son s were e l igible for the tournam ent . Som e
of these captains had held the sam e pos it ion s in the place be for e . but tw o of themwere strange and were gazed upon with a great deal of curios ity.
It m ight here be m ention ed that som e p eople w ho had gathered at this building had tried the ir luck in the tournam en t in form er years and othe r s had beenperm itted to watch the fun . Then the r e w as s ti ll anothe r class , com posed of pe r sonsw ho had com e to the great building for the first t im e .
A sm all m an , w ho seem ed to b e the leading j udge of the six,cons ide red it his
duty to explain to the n ew com ers som e of the law s used to decide w ho the contestants in the great tournam ent should be .
By way o f introduction he explain ed that the law s would b e about the sam e as
those used in , form er years . They were as fol low s z—fi r s t , those w ho wished toenter the lists could do so by m aking an in suffic ien t grade in d eportm en t ; second ,that day after day, ques tion s would be asked each of the persons and i f thesequestions w e r e
'
un sat is factor il y answered by an y person , that person would beelig ible to en te r the l is ts ; third , that at the end of the m on th a ser ies of questionsw ould be asked each person and i f he or She should fail to an swer a certain percent of these question s , then that person Would b e eligible . O ther m in or lawsw ere m entioned but the above were the greatest . I t is need less to say that everyperson w i shed to escape be ing a conte stant in the tournam en t’ but m any wantedto
”
see the other fellow figh t .”At the end o f e ac h m onth sm al l cards were passed about showing the r e
cipien t whether he could enter the lists . I t had previously been explain ed thatthe appearance of a sm al l
”
F”on any part
’
o f the card s ign ified that the bearerw as eligible to com bat in the com ing tournam ent .
The tim e for th i s great even t w as growing n igh and the nam es o f those e l igible were given out . Then , to the astonishm en t of all , the leading j udge announcedthat each contestan t would be allowed one weapon and a regim en t of soldie rs .
The weapon could be e ither a pen or penci l and the soldier s were to be thoughts .The contestants were to m eet the follow ing oppos ing cham pion s z
u H is tor y .
Science , English Mathem atics , and Latin . The conte sts with the above gene ralswere to be held in the court - yard s of the j udges and the y were to d ecide w ho thev ictorious ones were .
The day for the tournam en ts arriv ed and the conte stan t s cam e in great num

The Junior s
N the year 1 608 the French settled Quebec , in 1 808 the im portation of
S laves w as forbidden to our fre e countr y and in 1 908 the r enowned
class of 1 9 1 2 first en tered the po r tals of T. H . S . Ah , y e s w e were
Freshm en then but on ly in nam e , for j udging by our action s we m igh thave be en m is taken for Sen iors . ’Twas on ly t w o weeks from the
tim e that we se t our foot into the bui lding til l we had a co r pse of office r s , m otto andthe best colors that ever graced a pennan t . Green and w hite ! What do theys tand for ? You m ay say green for valor an d white for pur i ty . Thi s is true butth is is not what our colors real ly sym bolize . In them l ies a deepe r m ean ing. a
greater significance . Bette r than valo r, be tter than purity, the green and white
stand for 1 9 1 2 . We do not m ean to boas t ; far fr om it ! B ut it is our duty to tel l
the truth .
'
In regard to stirring deeds our F reshm an y ear w as unev entful . We w e r e
daily im pr ov m g ourselv es by copying the good qualit ies from uppe r classe s andpreparing ourselves fo r the highe r , nob ler th ings to com e . Al l went sm oothly unti lwe cam e in to collis ion with the te rm ex am s . Most of us sur v iv ed the con fl ict butthe n ex t year showedgap s in out ranks .
After the usual opening of school the fact sudden ly dawned upon us that w ewere no longer Freshm en but Sophom ores and sad to say w e behaved accordingly .
We s lipped l ight ly over our Sophom o r e year for w e ar e noth ingbut hum an .
But one quiet,sunny m orning a great rum b l e . as of thunde r, w as heard in the
di stance . I t cam e n earer and nearer , grew louder and louder ti l l with a roar and
rush our old enem ie s , the term exam s , were upon us . In terro r w e fl ed to our
fo rtress , the assem b ly room and began to forti fy our de fence s by sharpen in g pencils and wits and preparing
~
ourse l v es for a hard s iege . None too soon , for the
enem y ove rcam e the outposts . They had a curious m ode o f at tact . Each one of
the enem y represented by the term exam question s , ranged h im se l f be fore our m en
and Stood there on the de fensive . With the cry ”down w ith the ter m ex am s , " our
brave m en , protected by sheets of foolscap paper , fel l upon the enem y .
The stri fe lasted tw o and a half days , the m en taking turn about on duty . F iv e
great battle s were fought : Battle of L at inb ur y , the Battle of Algebra m ountain , ofH i story ridge , o f Englishv il le and B otany tow n . At last the enem y w as routed ,
never to return that year , but alas leav ing a num be r of our brav e m en woundedand a few killed .
Afte r three m onths v acation we entered the T. H . S . for the th i rd tim e . Ev er ything w as changed . Those w ho were Sophs when we enter ed were now d ign ified
Sen iors . But w e—w e w ere Jun io rs and Jun iors in every sen se o f the w ord , and
we can now say as the o ld prophet ,”
When I w as a Soph , I spake as a Soph , I
understood as a Soph ; But when I becam e a Jun io r, I put aw ay Sophish th ings ,We had le t our powers lie do rm ant long enough and w e are n ow d ist ingu ish ingourse lve s in debates and this i s just the budding o f our pow e rs .

sweet ! I t w as really no w onder that Lorenzo wanted he r for his br ide .
But we m ust n ot forget the gallan t gen tlem an Of the little play. M r . L eC l e r c,
to whom w e are greatly indeb ted for the succe ss of the production , took the m ost
difficult part o f all , that of Shylock and acted the m ost trying portion in a m ann erthat held the audience spell - bound .
Berl Graham , as Antonio , had such a sad coun tenance that one real ly wouldhave thought that he had lost al l o f his earthly possession s .
Aloy sous McE n te e acted the part of Bassan io very well and w as will ing and
anxious to do anyth ing for Portia whom he loved very d early .
Harry Herron was Launcelot, the fool’ and how the audience did cheer him ,
for he d id such clever tricks that the m om en t he enter ed ,the tragic part of the
play was entirely forgotten . Harry ought to go on the stage for he certainly showed great ab ility in acting his part .
Minor Bow er , a m em ber of the Sophm or e clas s , w as Lorenzo . How sw eet heand Je ssica looked in the last scene .
Carl Richm an , as the judge had such a stern face that one would nev er hav e
thought that he was only one of our good - natured school - boys .
R l y G l e n n as S i l e r i’
n o and John D . Sm i th as S al an io acted their parts in a
very pleasing m anner . L eonard Pence as Gratiano starred in the tria l scene .
O ren Foste r took the part o f Tubal an d Robert Sm ith took th e parts o f old Gobboa nd B t l thaz ar . Al l did their w ork w e l l and certainly deserve praise .
Through the kindne ss o f Miss Blanche Holm an , th e best o f m usic w as furn ished
and w e w ish to again expre s s our apprec iation o f th e favor .
The Masquerade scen e Was very p r et ty . I n this all the g irls an d m o st o f the
boy s took par t and the so ft m usic and the stro ll in g of the m asquerad ers back and
forth acro ss the the d im ly lighted stage had a soothing e ffect for the hearers . This
sc ene w as m ade m ore in te re sting by t w o vocal num bers given by Ruth Anderson .
We fee l that the play w as for the m o st part greatly enj oyed by the audience
and trust that our m eager efforts were not altogether in vain .

Sir Roger and the B otanists .
HE word spread like wild fire . Twenty eight eager Botany studen tswere fully alive to the fact that there w as som ething doing som ew hereand th i s knowledge gradually conso lid ated in to the startl ing fact thatperm i ssion had been gran ted for an extended Botany expedition in to
parts unknown . Nina Sm i th grew a crab apple pink w i th excitem ent
and tho se w ho had classes for the third period grew a green apple green w i th
env y for those w ho hadn ’t .
Geom etry class w as a j oke and English clas s w as worse . Miss Benn ett looked
tragic and Miss Scotten looked stern but n everthele ss things didn ’t go just right ,the bo y s in one corner debating on where the bun s should be bought and the girl sin another on w ho had the best deviled eggs
And then cam e a deep con spiracy in the hal l . Som e wanted to go right aw ay
and som e w i shed to w ait un ti l a fte r chape l . Th i s subj ect w as sti l l under hot
d i scuss ion w hen the con spirators w e re dispersed by a haughty look from Miss
Benne tt and , after a great deal o f con fusion in the assem b ly , the - get - up- and - d igfaction got up and w en t and the others did l ikew ise .
Those w ho had classe s were gen erous and gave them se lve s the b enefit o f the
doubt as to the ir authority fo r m i ss in g them , and on care ful con sideration for five
or S ix seconds , decided that i t seem ed per fectly fi tting and proper .
After a te rrib le m om en t in the hall , in w hich the faculty looked w ith unconcern
on th e depart ing Latin classes , we passed out into the open with a clear con science
and appeti tes for ginger snap s and the roll icking bun . After a m ass m eeting w e
dispersed and each w en t h is w ay“
in pursuit of eatab les .
On the steps at hom e , how eve r , I l earned that a friend o f m y grandm other '
s
had j ust arrived w ith her elde st son , a certain S ir Roger de C ov e r l ie o f Coverly .
Massac
’
husse t ts . S ir Roger was between fi fty and S ixty years o f age and w as on his
fi rst trip abroad although he seem ed to be quite well educated , upon explaining thein tended trip to him ,
he insisted on going along as chaperonH
ex O f courseth is w as all w el l and proper but—wel l n everthele ss go he m ust and afte r con t r ib uting his n icke l fo r chocolate cook ie s
,he was adm itted as the S ixteen th m em ber o f the
party .
After cen suring Dixie Rouls for purchasing a check’s worth o f Kis - m e gum
and noticing w ith horror that Stan ley drank r oot .b ee r in stead o f lem onade , he
gravely changed the place o f m ee ting from the”
B ” to the eastern steps o f the M .
E . church . This confl icted with our plan s but we all re spected the locks o f gray in
the flowing b eard and did as he des ired .
On the w ay to the rai l road Rom a and Noel took turn s hold ing E nola’
s handto keep Sir Roger from noticing the glit tering cut rings wh ich adorned he r fingers
w hile Harry and Dixie distracted his attention by an earnest discussion of the
respect ive m erits of Aunt Tr ueb y’
s tea be fore or after b reakfast .
On care ful ly noting our course through an eyeglass , he insisted that Rom a ,Stanley and Ward ar m them selves with stout clubs and walk in fron t as a protec tion against vandals . W e w ere very
,very tired w hen we reached the woods ,
w
so we
changed the dinner hour to eleven thirty and proceeded to the hard boiled eggsw hich proved to be som ewhat so fter than we had expected . After all had feasted ,
we gathered up seven shoe boxfuls of crum bs and buns and fed the hungry fishes ,com plying w i th com m and o f S ir Roger , w ho had heard of som e such th in g oncebe fore .
Botany specim en s n ow becam e num e rous and the rest o f the afternoon was
spent in gathering flow ers . Rom a , Dixie” and Ward stepped , one after another ,into a g r ass - concealed ditch in pursuit of buttercups and Nina B . got he r ha ndsdirty w hile heroically cr os sm ga flood - gate for som e w e ll w ater to take aw ay the
taste o f som e spring water she had sam pled . We all decided to have our Botany
class next to nature in the good old “Sunday Magazine Supplem ent” w ay .
Marie Patrick gave a w onderful talk about som e kind of worm that causes
apple trees to leak out a lo t of yellow w ax and then som e one else talked on a ra id“
ous fungi that causes apple peelings to crack open and peel off of their ow n accord ,w hile the rest o f us hunted up our Specim ens in the Botany keys and Sir Rogertook a nap on the shady side o f a hay stack .
At about three - thirty the sun got far enough around to w ake him up and thenw e all s tar ted ‘
hom e . Som e one spoke of being hungry and”
Dixie” shel led‘
out
three ginger snaps and an orange for Sir Roger , w hile the rest of us sucked our
thum bs and thought about”
straw berry short cake and rhubarb pie .
The next m orning Enola appeared w iih a streak of co ld cream sm eared across
her forehead and Stanley claim ed it w as a real live m osquito bite but those thingssoon m elted away as subjects of in tere st arose be fore the stern brow of thefaculty.
That was an aw ful m orn ing . Dark conclaves of the faculty in the hal l andpainful glances at the sunburned face s o f the enthusiastic Botan ists .
Ane then a w onderful thing happened . We don ’t know what it w as and no
one else doe s except S ir ’
R oge r and certain privileged m em bers of the faculty but
i t all ended in a love feast in room 1 1 with Mr. Dodds as chairm an and Mr. Deetz
an innocent bystander. Sir Roger le ft the n ext morn ing wi th his usual solem nm anner as a protection again st al l m y inquir ie s .
Mr. Dodds w ore a new n ecktie to schoo l on »Wednesday and looked veryhappy , so I suppose all is w ell , but w hether the necktie had anyth ing to do withi t or not is a m ystery to us all .

While her cheeks like a tallow candle burned .

The judge looked back as he clim bed the h il l

But the law yers sm i led that afternoon
To see him so sadly out o f tune
For,
they could not guess by the frown he w ore
Jus’t w hat had struck him the m orn ing before .
And w hen the m aiden drew draft ,
For dam ages done , the j udge he laughed .
And dre w hi s check and not his rein
And said”

But it fi l led his heart and soul w ith aw e

If I rem em ber correctly the Tipton High Schoo l m otto is som eth ing like th i sI am a part o f al l I have m e t .
” Without question the above m otto has prov en a
suitable one , yet , it i s only true in proportion to the effort put forth by the ind iv idual to win that coveted place in the hearts o f his contem poraries . Year after
year a large num ber o f representative High School graduates pass out of the Tipton

High Schoo l . Whether or not they go aw ay to col lege,they im m ed iately enter into ,
and becom e a vital part of society in general w h ich is so abundantly extended to
them . A record of those w ho have becom e college m en and w om en w il l sho w
the i r versat il i ty— show them taking a vigorous part in class - room ,social , athlet ic ,
or cam pus act ivitie s alongside their n eighbors from larger and m ore thoroughl yequipped preparatory in st itution—but i t i s only w i th on e particular phrase o f
activity V iz ,.the athletic career o f fo rm er m ale graduates o f the Tipton H igh School ,
does the follow ing article deal . The m aterial , incom plete though it m ay be ,fo r the
m ost part is correct. s ince it was co llected first hand from the ind ividual in ques
cion except in case of extrem e tim id ity on the part o f the latte r w hen asked con
cern ing his record ,— in such case the m ate rial w as obtained from other and scat
t e r ed source s .
In form e r days,prior to ’
95, there w as l ittl e o r n o athletic organ ization in the
High School , and even the m inor colleges had not yet begun to m ake m uch o f the
physical s ide of education . Hence the graduate s o f tho se days . though every w h it
as good as the ones at pre sen t found l ittle o pportun ity o f acquiring fam e as am em ber of a col lege team . Foot - ball w as introduced to the High School studentsabout ’
94 or’
95, when by priva te subscription am ong the boys a foot - ball w as pur
chased , and booted around the l ot at“rece ss” tim e . F ew o f this squad o f boys .
how eve r , landed in co llege , and as a result the i r careers , the particular kind w ithw hich thi s article deals , never m ate rialized
,or at least w ere cut short . The class
of’
9 1 furn ished in Max Meh l ig a loyal adheren t and advocate o f college athlet ics asshown by h is career a t Purdue . H is athletic activity w as m in im iz ed , how ever . by
the early date in which he attended college , an d not on account o f his lack o f
eagerne ss or ab il ity .
The first account w e have of sitting up and taking notice is w hen Mount o f‘
96
stirred things up at Butle r and Danvil le Norm als , at w hich latter place he captained
the 1 902 team and played fullback a s w el l . Favorable com m en ts be fore that t im e
on the cleverness o f Danville foot - ball team s w ere very rare , but the people st il l
rem em ber.the team o f ’
02 when Mount hit the line regularly for substan tial gain s .
Later he '
pl ay ed tackle and cen ter on the Butler e leven and d isplayed the sam e
aggre ssiven ess there that m ade h im fam ous in the Hend r ick’s County Seat . He
found his way in to the m anagerial gam e soon aft e r w ood ,— the base ball team
Norm al ’
03 , and Ind iana L aw Schoo l team ’
04 being m anaged by the sam e Mount
Although we kno w very little about th is , w e understand that the elder Moun t cam e
to the re scue in due tim e .
F or three y ears things rem ained quiet in so far as hearing from the illustr ious
alum n i w as concern ed , but Moore’
99 revived the sp irit , and w e hear o f him first a t
D ePauw where he played end on his class foot - ball team , thereby w inn ing hisnum erals . We n ext hear from him a few years later at Colum bia in ro w ing c ircles .
where he w on his Jun io r“C”
-ih the eight - oared shell at the Georgeto w n regatta inin late r W inn ing a Varsity “
C”on the four - oared crew at the Harlem regatta
’
04 .Th i s stam p s h im as being the fi r s t
—
and on ly Tipton High Schoo l graduate tow in distin ction on the w ate r .
Three m ore years went by w ithout the m onotony o f college life be ing broken .
Finally Sm i th and W atson’
02 w h il e at D ePauw lived in the open air long enoughto w in num erals on the clas s foot - ball t eam , also to hold do w n posit ions on the
scrub eleven . Watson , in addition m ade the clas s track and basketball team s and
carried away three“D
’
s” fo r as m any years service on the Varsity base - ball team .
‘
The class of ’
03 furn ished the various colleges of the state w ith good m aterial ,but Purdue , Indiana and Butler furn ished other attractions for M eb l ig, Butn er ,Kem p, Ayers , and others , than those o f the gridiron , diam ond , or cinder path . As
devotees , how ever , they were hard to beat , and Parke pre ferred the players ben ch
in the spring, where he could keep score for the boys w ho m ade Purdue fam ous , to
the m ore strenuous li fe of the athle tic field . W hi le Kem p , too, confin ed his e x e r
tions m e rely to his lungs from a po int o f van tage high up on the bleachers .
The ’
06 class put out som e good athletes , am ong whom w as Ogan w ho cast his
lo t w ith Purdue and did good w ork on the foot - ball squad in 1 908, returning then ext year to m ake a po sition on the team ,
a team w hich , the athletic authorities of
the University decided,gave n o
,or very littl e credit to th e in stitution . for w hich
reason the athletic le tte r“P”
w as w ithheld . But for this un fortunate ruling Oganw ould now have a college letter to sho w for his work there . The follow ing spring’1 0, he did good w ork at first base for the scrub base - ball team .
At Wabash,Lindley ’
06 did daily duty on the scrub n ine , and by so do ing inci
dentally helped the first team along in its preparation for all state honors .
This brings us dow n nearer at hand Ram say ’
08 is in I . U . where last
spring he w on his fre shm an num erals on the base - ball team . This year he hopes
to b eat C otton Berndt out o f his perm anent j ob at second base— if not this year
no doubt he w il l w in his“I” in base - ball be fore he graduate s .
At Purdue , Bow er’
08 has been constan tly pursued by the hoodoo of all a thlete s—bad luck . But for a knee that abso lute ly re fuse s to heal , he m ight now be doingthings for the B oil m ake r s .
Ralph Kirtley ’
09 played tackle last fall on the Gem City B usm e s s College teamand m ade good—be ing one o f the two m en to play the en tire season w ithout subs t itution . Herm an O ’
H ar a.o f the sam e class par t icipated in In ter - Hall athletics at
Notre Dam e .
O f the last year s clas s ’
1 0 very litt le is known . O f the college boys VanBuskirk is d oing good w ork on the second freshm an basketball five at Purdue , and
Ralph Kem p is a cand idate fo r the freshm an crew at Wisconsin . No doubt theyw ill be heard from later .
Nearly every one o f the col leges o f the state has taken our graduate s , develop
ed them and caused them to stand out prom inently ’
as a re sult of their endeavor
Tipton High School graduate s have in them the qualitie s,that , ~
w ith persistent
application w i l l produce results .
Purdue , Indiana , D ePauw ,Notre Dam e
,Wabash
,Butler
,Colum bia and Wis
consin have welcom ed our athlete s , rej oiced at the ir com ing , and exulted in the irm aking good . Athletic recogn ition is n o t , and should not be the ultim ate end andaim in college l ife to be sure
,but it i s a recognition not wholly without honor , and
it is a source o f no little pleasure to be able to boast o f even a m eager record in
college athletics , and to be proud o f a college letter , if it has been earned ,above
all , fairly and squarely .
