RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1211.

HAVE YOU SEEN “CHAOS”? FIRST HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

Creditable Student Publication Being Delivered to Subscribers and Mailed to Alamucs. “Chaos” is out. This is the first time the students of the Rensselaer high school ever undertook the publication of an annual and we feel certain that the public will say that they have made a great success of it. “Chaos” contains 128 pages besides the cover. It Is filled with those things that mostly interest the high School students, the former graduates and the patrons, and in the selection of matter for its columns the managing editor, James Ellis, has shown excellent taste,'and we feel confident that the publication will compare favorably with similar books printed in much larger cities Editor in Chief Ellis was assisted by the following corps, of assistants: student activities editor Mau-ine Tuteur, athletic editor Virgil Robinson, literary editor Elton Clarke, daily calender editor }Viima Feytoh, and reporters from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes, viz. Lura Halleck, Aileen Allman, Ray Laßue, Lois Meader, Helen Meader and Elizabeth Spitler. Cope Hanley was the business manager. Principal Bradshaw counciled With the members of the staff and lent valuable aid in the publication of the annual. The book is dedicated to the alumni of the Rensselaer high school from the earliest to the most recent by the class of 1911. The alumni history was briefly prepared by Superintendent I. N. Warren. A brief historica’ sketch of each school building accompanies pictures of them. Photographs of the school board and the high school faculty are contained in the book. The various department teachers, have contributed interesting articles upon the work performed in their special departments. A section is devoted to each class, in which is included group pictures and the class rolls. Then comes athletics, a resume of the football and basketball seasons, with photographs and drawings by artistic students. Then comes the subject of student activities, including clubs, sociedramatics, music, art and manual training accomplishments.

Following this under the literary head comes a number of original ogerings in prose and poetry from various students, and all with much merit. Then comes the names of the members of the Rensselaer Alumni Association, from the class of 1880 to the present, with the addresses of them all, and the occupation each follows. This of itself, is sufficiently valuable to justify every alumnus in wanting one of the books. Then comes the daily calendar, with a brief recital of some of the happening during each day of the las school year. It is called “cuts and grinds” and a hot shot was directed toward any student that made a blunder. Several illustrations occur in this section, the contributors being Tames Ellis, Ed Robinson and others. Bernice Rhoads is also a contributor of drawings and the cover design was the work of Ethel Davis. The latter pages of the book are partly given over to advertising, the ads being distributed among the- readtag matter so as to give the patrons of the columns as much for their money as possible. The books are being distributed this Tuesday afternoon at the school house and will also be on sale tonight at the opera house. The influence resulting from the publication should be beneficial to all who participated in its preparation, to all who read it and in inspiring a greater high school attendance. It is gratifying to know that the business affairs of the “Chaos” have been so managed that the book will be practically self-sustaining, and possibly a balance will be left over the cost of publication.

Irving Betz, of Hammond, Has Another Automobile Accident

The following account of an automobile accident at Hammond mentions injuries sustained by Henry Whittaker. Mr. Whittaker formerly lived at Wheatfield. Young Betz*seems to be a reckless driver judged by the frequency of his accidents. The Valparaiso Vidette says: An automobile accident in which fatalities were narrowly averted, occurred at two o’clock Saturday morning on Sheffield avenue in Hammond when Irving Betz, son of Frank S. Betz, who was driving south in his machine with three passengers\struc> a buggy going in the same direction The injured are: Irving Betz, bruised and scratched about the face, head and arms; Henry Whittaker, ligaments in left arm torn, and bruised and scratched; Carl Ames,*ankle dislocated, slight scalp wound, and other bruises; Franklin Blackmun, scratched and bruised about the face, head and body; Theodore Haehnel, driver of the rig, bruised about the body.

Probably the most demoralizing in - fluence in northwestern Indiana is Cedar Lake, with its wide open saloons seven days out of the week, its dance halls, which are frequented by immoral women and girls from Chicago and its general debauchery. Rensselaer yoWg men go there during evening and on Sundays. Through the week the ..conditions are ’iqt, bad, but on Sunday excursions frpin .Chicago dump, a bad set of people there and it is a disgrace that the place is permitted to operate in total disregard of the law. Parents should learn where their sons go on Sunday afternoons and some should take it up with the authorities and find out by what right the saloons bordering Cedar Lake run open on Sunday.
