From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER “RAVEUNGS” AND—CLOTH OF GOLD

Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight! Make me a high-school girl Just for to-night. * • * • It didn’t take a very big stretch of imagination, even over those Intervening fifteen years to imagine that, when I slipped open a wrapper that came in my mail yesterday addressed to "The Observer.” and pulled out a very neat little magazine. It was "Ravelings,” and it is the “official organ” published by the Decatur high school students. I wish to thank them for the remembrance. They do all the work —the writing, the art llustrating. the advertising arrangement, and all—in fact each department has its editor. If the present system of manual training in schools develops further, it wouldn’t surprise me if a printing plant would be established and there the students so inclined would learn the trade of setting their own type and printing their own paper. “Ravelings” is an excellent little paper—a true magazine in quality of its literary matter, its form of arrangement, and the excellent and high standard of illustration. I sincerely wish to congratulate the staff on its attainment. Ishmael Macy is editor-in-chief; Zelma Stevens, associate editor; Alex Sutton, business manager; Hope Hoffman, alumni editor; Helen Kinzle. literary editor; Carlisle Flanders. joke editor; Mary Ray, departmental editor; Muriel Leonard , exchange editor; Walter Krick and Lydia Bieneke, athletic editors; Edgar Moyer, class artist. The board includes: Freshmen, Ruth Frisinger, Wayne Spaulding: sophomores, Alta Teeple, Walter Rilling; juniors, Naomi Cramer, Roy Kalver. * • * • Yes, “Ravelings.” took me back fifteen years or more, it must be —because I was a graduate of the class of 1900 (I don’t care if you stop to figure how old I am) and it was in 1899 —bleak, cold February, that there appeared upon the horizon of the Decatur high school literary sphere, a bright “Aurora.” probably the first printed high school paper. It happened that “your humble" observer was the eflitor-in-ehief of that paper. 1 have since, of course, had special interest in printed high school papers, and watched with niterest their development into what is really “cloth of gold” to what those first fringy, ragged, ravelings of ours were. Still, we were very proud of our achievement. You see, for years, the high school had a sort of "Journal.” To this, each member contributed “items;” these were classified and written into a journal which was read by a different editor each Friday afternoon that there were “Literary” exercises. And then, a new’ step was taken, and the journal was printed. A vote was taken on the name and “Aurora” was decided upon. The teachers. I think, appointed the editorial staff, and much to my surprise, I was the editor-in-chief. My duties, when I consider them now, seem rather vague. But we got the paper out 1 for a few months. It could be well deI scribed as a “Ford.” It was a little, | four-page, four-column sheet, fourteen Iby eleven inches. On the first page of the first issue was an article, “Our High School,” by Jonas Tritch, a senior, now teacher in the Fort Wayne business college, former teacher here; a poem, “Naming the Paper,” by Nora Del Smith, a sophomore, now in advertising work in New York, and author of two playlets; and an original story, supposed to be humorous, entitled “Miss Hetty’s Visit,” written by “The Observer,” adorned the first page. On page two was my opening “editorial.” It was written in stilted style, with a few Latin and German phrases—our clas* mottoes thrown in. I forgot to say, that for some sentimental reasons our first paper was a pale pink, to represent the rosy tint of the “Aurora,” I suppose. We gradually came down to more commonplace white paper, of not very tough fibre, as our finances became lower. The editorial in part said: “This is the Aurora, a new light that has dawned upon the literary department of the High School. May her light become rosier as the work progresses, until she loses her faint glow in the stronger light of the literary sun. May she be ‘primus inter pares.’ ” * * * * (Here came a history of - > »

the journal. Then:) "The purpose of this paper is to make the pupils use their eyes, to watch what is going on around them; also to encourage them in their different lines of literary work and to make them able to put their thought into a form presentable to the public. ‘Ubung macht den Meister.’ ”*•••• I suppose that my high-flown effort was not quite practical enough, for I found a crisp, business-like paragraph tacked on at the end that “listened” much like our crisp superintendent. The paragraph said: “With this brief explanation, we make our bow to the public, and trust that they will find us worthy of their patronage.” 1 think I privately found fault with "public,” being succeeded by the plural pronouns “they” and “their,” but my fault-finding was private. » • • • Well, the succeeding p ge had more poems by Nora Del, an article, “The Genesis and Interpretation of the Constitutio nas Written for Class work,” by Miss Grace Sutton, now-Mrs. Pennypacker of Buffalo, N. Y., aunt of “Raveling’*” present business manager. There were also short general articles by students; personals and locals, to which all contributed. Our advertising columns were also full Our paper grew, and became quite good, if we did say so ourselves, but it was often backed by statements in our exchanges, too. Later we had a class issue, each class taking charge of the paper for an issue. » » * » It is interesting to note what a great part in the future lives of the staff, that paper played—or perhaps the paper was but a natural outlet of what they were best fitted for. In the list of assistant editros was Dr. Fred Patterson, who entered newspaper work for a while, before entering the dental profession. Besides those named before, there was Earl Snow, who for years was a tywspaper correspondent for metropolitan papers, while foreman of a printing plant. In his boyhood he and his brother printed a paper called “The Star.” Charles Adelsperger is now editor of a paper in the west, and also worked on local and college papers during his career. Dr. P.obert Schrock of Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Erin Bobo Archbold, of Cleveland. Ohio; Mrs. Kate Krick Butler, and Rollin Laughner, were also members of the staff, as was the late Agnes Schrock. ♦ « • * It was not our little achievement, that wee little insignificant paper, of which I wish to speak. It is the result that our efforts, aided and abetted by our teachers, had upon our future lives. I think the teacher is the most important factor in the lite of the child. While the school is supposed to “educate” or “bring out” literally speaking, all latent possibilities of the child, it is also supposed to Strengthen and encourage that for which it is especially fitted by nature. We pupils in that class were most fortunate in having teachers that were the most highly fitted for their special work, earnest and conscientious in their efforts, and of fine Christian character. Their work and interest extended further than the school room. It was my fortune to have for my English teacher for three of my four high school years, as well as my i teacher in Sunday school for those ■ years, a most excellent Iqdy. She • has been my inspiration and my enl couragement, not only through my - school years, but through the half i of my life that has elapsed since t then. What I have achieved in a I special way, little as it is, and all I the great things that I have dreami ed of accomplishing, and hope to yet, . will be due to her, in connection with ■ my home influences, of course. Only i this week I have had a most encourt aging letter from her, in which she - speaks of my little work in which she • started me, urging me to keep on tryi Ing to grow higher. She says: “1 . shall never feel right about it, if you do not write sometimes your best and give your talents a chance to develop.” With the daily grind of com-mon-place every-day work, that means bread and butter to us, we often forget that striving for the best, and we need reminders now and then. As she said in speaking of the present results with Which we are too often satisfied, "Financial success must not
