Greenfield High School Is to Have Gymnasium
The Cooper Stone Construction Company has signed a contract for the building of a gymnasium for the high school pupils. There has been quite a delay in obtaining this build- ing, but at last Greenfield is to have a "gym."
It will be built on the lot at the corner of East and North streets. The president of the construction company is Jerome Black Cooper.

GREAT TRIP
Donald Hilt Tells of Hunting Trip in Africa
Mr. Donald Hilt, former prominent citizen of Greenfield, has favored us with a letter describing his prolonged trip through the jungles. He seems to be having the time of his life and says it sure is great sport. He is sending some of the skins of differ- ent animals to his fiancee, Miss Mar- garet Moorehead. He is expecting to return home in about three weeks.
Governor's Proclamation Arouses Nation-Wide Interest
Much interest was excited in politi- cal circles when the papers made pub- lic the Governor's proclamation. Gov- ernor Hufford, whose integrity and excitement ability have brought about radical reforms in the State, has superceded all previous efforts to bring about the great change which he proposed in his platform.
The great movement excited by his fiery orations previous to his election, was brought to a climax yesterday when he issued a proc- lamation which will, no doubt, go down in history as the best and great- est work ever done by any governor. An extract from the proclamation is as follows :
"It is my firm belief that all dogs should be photographed for future reference, and I do hereby proclaim this day, May 22, 1926 A. D., to be set apart for the purpose of photograph- ing all living dogs that exist within
the boundaries of the State of In- diana."
Although the proclamation was two-fold in its purpose, the foregoing extract is by far the most important. Some of our greatest statesmen say that it ranks with Lincoln's Gettys- burg Address, and, no doubt, our Governor will, in the future, stand out prominently as one of the great- est statesmen of our history.
Governor Hufford, whose term is almost expired, is preparing to make the race for Senator against the noted statesman, the Honorable Mr. Spen- cer. Governor Hufford's nomination is assured and he has the best wishes of the citizens, both young and old, throughout the State.
Dr. Asa Goodwin, a prominent physician of this city, has just re- turned from a year's study in Ger- many. Dr. Goodwin is reported to be engaged to Miss Anna Forest.
Paul Strong is home visiting his mother, Mrs. Watson, who lives on South street. "Strongie" has been the foot ball coach at Indiana for the past three years.
Mrs. Lois Abbott Southerland, of Morristown, is visiting at the home of her parents, on West Main street. Mrs. Southerland is accompanied by John and Mary Louise.
John Loehr, of Richmond, is home for a few days' vacation. Mr. Loehr is proprietor of the Wescott Hotel, and a successful man at all games.
FACULTY ENTERTAINED
At a Dinner Given at the School Building.
High
The Greenfield High School fac- ulty was entertained at a dinner given at the high school building. The
whole affair was planned by the Do- mestic Science class, Miss Vera Bur- ton being the teacher.
Mrs. Frank Rhodarmer received a letter from her son, Paul, who is now in grand opera in the Metropoli- tan Opera Company. In the letter he tells her he has just signed a contract to make a tour of the Mid- dle West in the new opera "Madame Mildred." Mr. Rhodarmer has been very successful.
The most interesting part of his letter was the account of his mar- riage to Miss Mary Kendall. He had known her as a little girl of five years, when her father, Mr. J. W. Kendall, was one of Mr. Rhodar- mer's teachers in the Greenfield High School. Several months ago he met a Miss Kendall, who was there in New York trying out for a place in the new opera.
After comparing a few remem- brances he discovered that Miss Ken- dall was "little Mary Kendall," he had known years ago. He was very much infatuated and they were mar- ried last Tuesday.
He also writes his mother that he will bring his wife with him on his tour through the Middle West, and they will stop off at Greenfield and make a visit with his parents.
Noted Statesman Attacks Governor's Latest Issue.
Hon. Mr. Spencer can see no good in the proclamation, declaring that it is the greatest folly the Governor has yet committed.
Hon. Dale Spencer, eminent news- paper man and statesman, in an edi- torial in his influential paper, has resented the latest action of the Gov- ernor. Mr. Spencer, who has been several years a student in govern- mental affairs, can not conceive the slightest need for the Governor's action. He said at a banquet in honor of his nomination for Senator, that the Governor had pulled the wool over the eyes of the people un- til they thought he was a saint and believed in everything that the Gov- ernor said, and that the Governor, after gaining the confidence of the people, did what he pleased, and the things that were for his own personal welfare.
Mrs. Lucille Walton Amick is pre- paring to have a house party at her home, on North State street, in honor of the home-coming of Mrs. Gertrude Vaughn Zike, who has been abroad with her husband, the Ambas- sador.
The Chicago Herald says: Mrs. Oxer, of 2369 North Belmont Ave., has been called to the home of her mother in Greenfield, Indiana, on account of the illness of her little dog, Bob. Mrs. Oxer is the wife of John G. Oxer, the electrical engineer, employed by the Western Electrical Company.

NOISELESS SPOON FOR SOUP IS INT'ENTED-SIMPLE DE- DICE WILL PREVENT WHISTLING NOISE.
The noiseless soup spoon is here. The inventor's name is Floyd Man- ron. His spoon is made somewhat like those drinking cups for men with troublesome mustaches. One of its advantages, in Mannon's estimation, is, that with it the diner must dip his spoon from him and not toward him, conforming, of necessity, to the accepted canons of soup eating.
JOE WALKER.
At the time of going to press we heard a faint rumor of quite a sad affair of one of our former school- mates, Joseph Walker. It seems Joe married a young Knightstown lady, by the name of Hazel, on a bet.
While still a Senior one of Joe's young friends bet him he would be married by the next summer. Know- ing Joe's fondness for "collateral," we aren't a bit surprised to hear he accepted the wager. After living with the young lady six months, dur- ing which time he spent all the money won by the bet enjoying himself at French Lick, we hear now that his wife has sued for a divorce on the grounds of non-support. It grieves 11% very much to know one of our class mates did not respect the good teaching and advice given to us dur- ing our high school career. We only hope Joe will profit by this and later develop into a good domestic man.
Greenfield was very much startled by the appearance of a suffragette parade yesterday. The parade went up and down Main street and attract- ed the attention of every one. All of the prominent women of the city were in it and were attired in very masculine clothes. At the head of the parade was Miss Carol Hagans, a very enthusiastic worker for reforms in the government of our city, and especially interested in woman suf- frage. After a large crowd had col- lected Miss Hagans delivered a speech which touched the minds and hearts of all her listeners.
It is very evident if we have such spirited workers as she the women certainly will secure the rights of suffrage.
Mrs. Iva Giles Hall and Miss Agnes Gates received a box of fruit from their former school mates, who are on a ranch sixteen miles from Reno. The girls are Misses Wynema Kight, Esther Hubig and Kath- ryn Curry. They have 5,000 acres of land which they cultivate them- selves. They also have 1,000 head of cattle and 150 broncos.
The great evangelist, Rev. Robert Mason, announced at the services at the Methodist church, where he is holding a revival meeting, that he was going to India as a missionary. The singer, Miss Cora Jackson, who has accompanied Rev. Mason in all his work, is going on this trip also. They will leave next Tuesday.
THE THEATRES.
One of the offerings of the Grand Theatre this week at Indianapolis is a musical and dancing act featuring Miss Edith Duncan, formerly of this city.
Miss Duncan is now staying at the Severin Hotel, and when our re- porter went to her for an interview she told him something of her past experiences.
She said her first appearance on the stage was at Greenfield in a play given by the Seniors of the High School. She was the leader of the choruses and her songs and dancing made a great "hit." On account of her success she was encouraged to take up the study of dancing and singing and after her graduation sl e went to a dramatic school in New York. She soon was on the stage and Indianapolis feels honored to have a chance to see a coming star. She is very charming, having beau- tiful auburn hair, for which she is noted. She has a deep and full con- tralto voice, which everyone admires.
For "the best that is going," go to Miller's Restaurant. Prop. Audrey Miller (successor to Johnnie Bohm).
Mrs. T. Landon New, formerly Miss Helen Morgan, of this city, was a charming hostess at a recep- tion given at her home at 6071 North Meridian street, Indianapolis, in honor of her sister-in-law, Miss Mar- gret New, a lovely young debutante. The New home was artistically deco- rated in greenery and throughout the | Idaho?
lights were softened by a deep shade of rose. In the reception hall a harp was played during the after- noon. The dining room was one mass of ferns and Killarney roses. Refreshments of ices, cakes and dainty candies were served by very attentive servants.
The hostess wore a rose and green Iress, while Miss New wore a simple gown of ivory white.
Among the guests were all of Miss New's friends and the friends of Mrs. New. The out-of-town guests were many friends and relatives from Greenfield.
Jessie Brooks: After this time the Roman people shaved and cut their hair, especially the men.
Mr. Garrison : The next problem was for the girls, wasn't it? All right, Harold, did you get it?
Miss Harlan : Hugh, what does the word "Sugar" mean in this line ? Hugh Walsh : Woman, I suppose.
Miss McShane: Who is the author of "The Mill on the Floss?" Lois Abbott : Agnes Elliott.

On The Campus ---- In Which The Names Of Some G. H. S. Students Are Used
Down by the Brooks, shaded by Maple trees, a beautiful young lady was sitting in a swing reading Thomas's Debates. She looked very Meck. A Kight was flying overhead. Soon there came down the path a Strong looking man, who seemed to be traveling to the Fort. He was accompanied by a Furry dog, which answered to the name of Bowser. The man said he was very hungry and that he had hunted the Holbrook. but could find nothing. She offered him a Koin for some food, which she thought would be Wright, but he refused and she called for her Cook. She said it was dangerous for him to ride unarmed, so she persuaded him to go to the Garrison to get a gun.
A few minutes later the captain came riding in a Davis car, followed by his servants riding in a Huf-ford. He was Cap-
tain New going to do his lady a kind Service. He did not stop, but he gave her a Leamon and an apple before he left.
Soon a Mason came down the path. He tipped his hat Andrew his breath, for he saw the sign which said "Be-Ware."
As he turned to go away he saw that the girl had died be- cause she had eaten the Mealy apple. Hurrying down the path he met a man who had lost his Hart over this mysterious lady. For fear he would Parish he took the Shum-way home. He quickly made his way to the Gates. Here he saw some Frost on the Bridges. At the Castle Hall he knocked on the Mullen- dore. But as the Knight was coming the Abbott said the blessing and the campus was darkened by the shadows of the Maples and Oaks.

SENIOR CLASS SONG
Tune : "They Didn't Believe Me."
Now when we tell you
How wonderful we are
We know it will grieve you,
But we can't deceive you- Our boys so brave, our girls so fair Are in a class beyond compare.
We're the classiest class that has been, seen.
So when the Principal tells you, And he's surely going to tell you,
That we're the best class that he has yet seen,
You'll have to believe him, Because he has seen them.
So here's a cheer for the old Nineteen Sixteen.

ART

G. Gumbrel
Miss Brandenburg has shown herself very capable in the handling of the Art Department this year. During the first semester the class took up mechanical drawing. This course included exercises for the use of instruments, orthographic projection, isometric drawing, letter- ing and working drawings. In the free-hand course taken up in the second semester, work was done in pastel crayon, water color, and in charcoal, including object drawing, design, composition and poster work. The course was made as practical as possible, and besides the regular class work, most of the art work in the "Camaraderie" and the decorations for commencement were taken up in the class.

Manual Training
The manual training work was in charge of Mr. Charles Boone the first semester and of Mr. Louis K. Karns the second.
The first semester was devoted entirely to wood- working, which consisted of the fundamental exer- cises in woodworking as applied to elementary cabinet- making. The greater part of this semester was used to complete a selected set of exercises and models.
The woodwork was continued the second semester and larger and more complicated pieces of work was done.
The department will be enlarged and greatly im- proved before next year.

Cooking
This branch of domestic science was introduced into the Greenfield High School in September, 1914.
The study of cooking is taken up from the chemical as well as the practical view point, with many interest- ing experiments to illustrate the structure and compo- sition of different food stuffs.
"Fanny Meritt Farmers' Boston Cooking School Cook Book" and "Foods and Household Management"
are the textbooks used and each girl is required to keep a notebook of experiments.
The practical housekeeping is intrusted to four girls, each sharing the responsibility.
Due to Miss Dillon's efforts we have reason to feel that our domestic science department is a complete success.

Sewing
Sewing in High School is to enable the student to cut and make garments, applying the different seams, gussets and plackets, using patterns made in class, also the commercial patterns ; economy in cutting garments, general points in fitting and machine sewing are taught. Crochet, tatting and some fancy work were taken up, also.
The four important textiles are studied as to their history, growth and production. From the study of early customs and inventions, the progress of man was developed step by step.
Reference books in Library: "Textiles," Woolman and McGowan; "Shelter and Clothing," Kinneand ; "Household Textiles," Gibbs.
Sewing was taught by Miss Selma Stephens this year.

Public Speaking
Public Speaking Course is a new one in the high school, having been introduced this year for the first time. The range of this course is not confined to one particular phase of platform work as it includes read- ing, oration, story telling, debate and extemporaneous speaking. It has not been the plan of Miss McShane, the supervisor, to develop the pupils in any particular part of public speaking at the expense of an- other; but rather to make the student to feel at home in public and to enable him to think quickly and well, upon vital topics of the day, and to express his views in a concise and logical manner. The public speak- ing class has participated in a number of public entertainments in the way of debates, oratorical contests and story telling.

66 SLIPPING OUT"
When you do not have a class the last period in the afternoon you should go into some classroom and talk to the teacher until "classes" have passed. Then step quietly into the hall and learn the whereabouts of Mr. Andrews without letting him know yours. After he has closed the doors of the assembly room and seated himself upon the platform behind the desk, go quietly and with dignity into the cloak room and take your hat from the hook. Then go down the stairs and out of the building just as if you have the right to do so. However, it is always wise to choose the west stairway, because there is a clear view of the south stairway from the assembly room, and Mr. Andrews might become restless and wander about-he might see you. It is very uncomfortable to get caught, es- pecially if you have to write a ten-page thesis as a punishment. When carried out successfully this is called "slipping out."

RILEY DAY
CTOBER 7, 1912, the school children of Greenfield and the surrounding country gave a reception in honor of our Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley, who was born in this city and spent bis early life here. It was a day of music, flowers and speeches. Mr. Riley was met at the end of West Main street by a band and, as he proceeded down the street, school children, on either side, threw flowers into his machine. When he reached the court house, large crowds awaited him. The Mayor, Mr. Ora Myers, inrtoduced Mr. George Carr and Mr. William A. Hough, who delivered speeches. After that, there was a general recep- tion. This is an important event in our high school career. We, the Seniors, Dere Freshmen at that time and we thoroughly enjoyed the celebration.

THE PESSIMIST
I'm so tired of all the lessons Thoughts of study make me moan, I'm so wearied by outside things Talks with teachers bring forth groans. I'm so tired of all this humdrum- Notebooks, maps, reports and tests; I'm so weary of the whole thing Think I'll quit and take a rest.
The grass is just so pretty And the air's so fresh and pure, The sun shines like some fine-spun gold ; The sky is bright and clear, The birds are loudly calling, Building nests, selecting mates- I should like to stay and watch them- But, to school, or I'll be late.
The flowers out in the woods, I know, Are bursting into bloom. The trees are waking up, too, And will all be budding soon. It's awful just to sit here, Pouring over some old book. There's so much really better; Oh, for time to go and look!
What's the use of this imprisonment? Won't somebody kindly say? Spring is here in all her glory, Wish I was happy and real gay. Oh! I'm weary of this hum drum, And so tired of school today; If someone would only join me, I'd be glad to run away.

'Tis sweet to flirt, But O how bitter, To want a girl When you cannot gitter.
It was a beautiful spring day when little Mary Elizabeth walked proudly into the school room in her new pink dress. She held her head up proudly and gazed over the room at her schoolmates. Finally her gaze fell upon the face of Bobby, who was smiling at her admiringly. She looked at him unsmil- ingly and permitted her pretty little nose to turn up just a trifle. Then, with a haughty air, she walked down the aisle and joined a group of her playmates.
"Oh, dis look what a brand new pink dress Mary 'Lisbeth has," said one.
"Oh, I dis wish I could have a new dress, too," sighed one small maiden enviously.
"Say," whispered Billy, loud enough so that Mary Elizabeth could hear, "I say she is the prettiest girl here." And Mary Elizabeth looked at him shyly, and when she turned around and beheld poor little Bobby looking very sad, a thoughtful expres- sion overspread her face.
