C1-1oRUs: So here's to our school we love so dear, VVhere We've studied and played for many Ne'cr will We forget thy Walls of fame When We go out to try life's game. a year THIRTY-FIVE THE COMMENT 1926 Qiilass ilaistnrp Some four years ago there assembled at the Keokuk High School a group of boys and girls of such a high mental calibre, and having such superior scholastic attributes, that they were destined to become the- Graduating Class of 1926. Like others before us, we students were not inclined to take our Fresh- man year seriously. It was all new to us, so we took things as they came, being quite satisfied with our lot in life. We soon learned to believe only a certain per cent of what we heard from members of the more experienced classes, though they professed to have only our interests at heart. But it is to be inferred, by the way a few report cards looked, that some Fresh- men did not draw the line here and deducted a certain per cent from faculty lectures as well. In our Sophomore year we were banded together in a very small way by various English and Literary clubs. Even then we were like the divided Thirteen Colonies, easily preyed upon by taxing British and hostile Indians in the form of the Faculty and Low Grades. We felt and saw ourselves unable to check the hard assignments, after-school sessions, and other oppressions of King George and his agents. We had no Patrick Henry to stir us to action, no LaFayette to bring us aid. But we survived, and when we left the school in June we had determined, somewhat, on our plan of action for the next year. When we assembled again, this time as Juniors, we entered a new High School, and saw many new faces among the Faculty. Remembering our experience of the preceding winter, for we were now thoroughly convinced that In Union There Lies 'Strengthfl we immediately checked up on our number and organized forces, electing these to positions above the common rank: Robert Hewitt-President and General-in-Chief. Martha Ruddick-Vice-President and .Chief of Commissary Depart- ment. Ray Wilsey-Secretary and Head of Bureau of Records. Kenneth Marshal-Treasurer and Supervisor of Tax Regulation, first semester. Jamie Naggs-Treasurer, second semester. Now began a long siege against the Faculty Forces, no actual combats being engaged in, however. We finally won out and celebrated by giving a banquet for the Seniors. With the coming of the fourth year there was a last desperate maneuver of the forces on both sides. We saw more new faces among the Facultyg THIRTY-SIX THE COMMENT 1926 the enemy, undaunted, Were bringing on a new front. Would they never desist? We again elected officers: Howard Earl-President. James Whiston-Vice-President. Geraldine McKee-Secretary. jamie Naggs-Treasurer. We sent out spies to report the enemy's every move. Each teachers' meeting or conference Was looked upon with suspicion. Every student figured up how many rounds of credits he must have to be safe. Small groups congregated in the halls, and the conversation ran like this: Now IF We and the Profs don't mix, We'll graduate in l26l,' Well, We graduated, and those four years are four big reasons Why the Class of 1926 is the best that ever graduated from Keokuk High. CHARLES F. HOLBROOK. THIRTY-SEVEN THE COMMENT 1926 Glass iBrnpIJesp 1W,',' i Oh, Vida Grace, the postman just arrived, bringing the last reply from the grads of 1926. Now we can plan in earnest for the big -...'e wL1,. affair and I am sure we will be royally enter- f . tained. I haven't told you about it yet, have I? -.,,4 Well, you see, President 'Howard E. Earl of X ' ' the U. S. Concrete Mixers' Association has .M if-72 YQ' issued invitations to all members of the class .f'i1il!g,1 1, J of '26 to attend a class reunion at his summer L A.: home on Lake Keokuk. He asked me to locate and invite them, as he finds that business and pleasure do not mix as well as cement and W' water. Altho I asked them to respond as soon as possible, jim Joyce was too bashful-that's why his letter reached me last. Surely you haven't forgotten that sweet and girlish blush of his. He's a hermit now somewhere up in the RockyMts., Caway from this dangerous thing, mlled womanlj. He expresses his regrets at not being able to be with us. There are some others whom I know will not be present for some reason or other. Roy Meister has been living his life at such a fast and furious pace that he had to retire to Mt. Pleasant for a rest. I heard he was quite a figure in the night life in Keokuk. Mildred Peterson and Eleanor Larson have become naughty auto bandits and time after time have proved themselves able to divert the scents of the dogs of the law. They're hiding out somewhere now. Charles Holbrook is a barber in New York. He was arrested the other day for insisting to the Mayor of the city that the easiest and safest way to remove dandruff was to chop his head off. Earl Elting has become a rest cure maniac, and, although he's been pronounced cured several times, he could not be induced to leave the resort because he was so in love with the methods. Could it be possible that Tiny Worked too hard in his younger years? He did play hard in foot- ball that last year, though. Lewis Wirtz is the proprietor of a butcher shop-in connection with Sing Sing. He was arrested for chewing gum too many times per Sec., per Sec. McDill Ayer must be quite a contortionist, because in declining his invitation he expressed his sincere regrets and sent a handshake from the bottom of his heart. Frank Neumann and Charles Winkelman are living in the South Sea Islands. It is the custom there to devour their wives as soon as said spouses get a little old. Evidently it is a place where men are men and Women are eaten. I am planning the program now and the entertainers are to be, of course, our friends. You know we had just lots of talent in our class. Marion THIRTY-EIGHT THE COMMENT 1926 McGinnis could always sing beautifully. He's a noted opera singer now, and will give us a pathetic and heart-rendering song, entitled Something That Runs in the Best of Families-Silk Hosef, The Lecture Club, composed of Dorothy Carrick and Charles Wells, will also be on the program. They will lecture on their best subject, Why All 100 Per Cent Americans Should Have Red Hairl'-bright subject. Anna Mary Kircher will give us an interpretation of a player piano in a Greek restaurant-uno the kind you put Sc in and get a chorus or two along with plenty of bangs and whoops. Of course, Linnea Linstrum will dance for us-that is if her husband will let her. They say that he is terribly jealous of her. Her picture hangs in the Hall of Fame along with the Presidents of the Country too. Did you see in the paper yesterday where Dehlia and Marvin Hentzel carried away a 310,000 prize and honors from Chicago for the Charleston contest? I was never so surprised in my life, but I asked them to show us all the latest steps anyhow. I believe the rest of our classmates accepted their invitations. I received also quite a lot of information Qscandal and otherwisej about our old friends that I'm sure you'd hate to miss out on. Uf course you remember Martha Ruddick and Frieda Rankin. Well, they just live a short distance from here-in Summitville. Martha is the interior decorator in the largest pickle factory there. She says her red and lavender color scheme harmonizes beautifully with the pickles as they are turned out. A more sweet, artistic taste l'm sure no one ever pos? sessed. Frieda has a dog farm. She spends all her spare time teaching her pet dogs to growl gracefully. You knew Don Brumback went back to school after he graduated and took a Normal Training Course, didnlt you? He has a little school of his own now, but will dismiss the children to be with us. He always did kinda like our class. I guess you remember he waited several years for us to graduate before he'd even consider leaving the school. Armintha Hornish and Albert Linquist may be seen on the stage to- gether quite often-she scrubbing the floor, and he moving the scenery around. Professor B. A. M. S. R. X. Y. Z. Hornish is coming clear over from the Hawaiian Islands, where he's been having quite a little argument with the King. The question was, ls it wise to be foolish or foolish to be wise ? Red should know-he's been a little of both. Vice-President Wilma Cahill has certainly risen in the world. When she was a child it was prophesied that she would be something great because at the age of three months she played on the-linoleum. Smith and Maxine johnson are busy performing in one of the Chicago theaters. They sing the ballad Mandy, put some ashes on yo' sidewalk, 'cause yo' daughter sho' am slippin'.H You know Roosevelt Shafer is what you call a Gentleman Farmer. After breaking the hearts of many of the Keokuk belles, he went back to the farm. Some people say gentlemen farmers seldom raise anything except their hats, but he raises his bank account. Elaine Clark has a proposition to put before us. She thinks we should THIRTY-NINE THE COMMENT 1926 build a boat-house as a firtting memorial to the fish who lost their lives in the construction of the dam. Probably we should consider this idea. Harold Eichelberger and Deslie Lewis recently went to South America to kill a few wild animals. As a leopard approached, Harold yelled at Des, who had the gun, to Mshoot it on the spot! Deslie didn't shoot, because Harold wasn't specific as to which spot he meant. Maurine Hyde developed a fondness for bushy black beards and married a Russian diplomat. I hope she brings him with her. Ray Meyers has gone into the furniture business. He has a sign in front of his store, Buy our linoleum rugs, they're hard to beat. Isn't that cute now? Maybe he will think of something clever for the program. Lucille Webster will probably come in her aeroplane. They say she has more jolts and bumps than any other living aviator. But she's used to it, for long and continuous riding a' la Ford over Keokuk streets is due prepa- ration for anything. James Whiston has just taken out a patent for a brand known as MOI' Reliable. Don't get excited and don't be misledg it's just a new kind of corn cure. Glendora Barber is a nurse. She says the only difference between ammonia and pneumonia is that ammonia comes in bottles and pneumonia in chests. ' Virginia Lawrence is a great artist. One time she painted a cobweb on the ceiling so realistically that the maid CAnna Stantonj spent hours trying to get it down. Artists have been known to do such things, but a maid of that kind is hard to find. ve' Paralee SlHGH6'fS' t6RCX Pattersomfanotherpuppy love affair brought to a climaxj. Shortly after they were married Rex brought home a wash tub, wash board, a chair and a mirror. He told her she could either take the wash tub and board and make a living or sit in the chair, look in the mirror and watch herself starve to death. I didn't know Rex could be so brutal. Anna Mae Harris is a telephone girl for rather works at the telephone officej. She says she just dearly loves to hear all the sweet' male voices over the line. You've heard about the Sc lunch rooms in the East, haven't you? Well, did you know Ray Wilsey was the originator and sole owner of them? He is, and Glenn Younkin is his taster. Don't you know what a taster is? Well, he has to taste all the food before the customers will take a chance of eating it. Poor Glenn has been ill the last few Weeks, but we hope he'll recover in time to be with us. Frances Hogle is the only multi-millionaire in Keokuk, and she's making money every day, as she owns and operates the Lean Lizzies, the largest taxi business within fifty miles. She received so much practice with the big black Ford she had in High School that it's no wonder she gets along so well. A couple of weeks ago some one threw a booklet on my porch entitled Morris's Method of Manicuringf' At the last it read, Write for two life-size photographs of my own hands and thousands of letters of appre- ciation, free.', I was sort of surprised at Melvin's occupation, but took FORTY THE COMMENT 1926 advantage of such a good offer and at the same time told him of the affair we're planning. Lawrence Conradt is a prominent bachelor-absolutely guaranteed to be the greatest catch of the season. They say he had a broken-hearted love affair at one time, but leads them all a wild chase now. Wilma Cooley is just the opposite. She's starting on her fourth husband now. I don't know what happened to the other three, but I really do not think she murdered them. Oh, yes, the fourth one is Ray Johnson, and theylre living on a farm outside of the city. He's trying hard to ramen his wife and she seems to be very domesticated. Alice Courtney and Edna Briggs are school moms, showing that they are two of the few women in the world who are not changeable. They fitted themselves for that work in school. James Thomas is coming home from the West, where he is chief cook and dog feeder in a large restaurant. I remember James was the 'fshfrjiekw of the cooking class in High School one year. Iva Sullivan and Theodore Rupley married quite young, but until he learned to cook they were about as chummy as a cat and dog. Margaret Vandervort and Margaret Bates are regular speed demons when it comes to driving their respective cars. It seems it is their fines for speeding and reckless driving that really keeps the city of Keokuk going. Carl Taylor will present to us the latest Mrs. Taylor. She's an actress and leads him a merry chase. They say the only way he can keep her is to sing to her. Sing on, Carl. Evelyn Sweet and Aineth McEldowney are touring the ruins of Nauvoo in a delivery wagon. Giddap, Napoleon. Wilford Willoughby has written two books, The Evils of Unprepared- ness' and Lessons First. He always was an energetic and clever boy. I remember one time his teacher told him to write a theme on a birch tree, and the next day he didn't have his lesson because he couldn't find a birch tree in Keokuk to write on. Good excuse, wasn't it? William Haisch and James Fulton are in the photography business. They make photographs as people think they look and are the richest men in the world. Mighty clever idea, I'd say. Naomi Brunat is a Worker in the slums of Keokuk. She is devoted to the cause. I visited Mr. and Mrs. McKee and Reggie Jr. and little Vivian not long ago. I noticed a switch hanging on the parlor wall and below it these Words: I need thee every hour. I do hope Reginald doesn't get rough with the children. Hilda Norder was married recently to a big butter and egg man. He believes faithfully in the saying, A thing of beauty keeps you broke for- ever. Harrison Rogers is up in North Land installing radios for the Eskimos in their igloos. He made the journey on his faithful motorcycle. At present, he says, he gets Chille and that's about all. Helen Nelson and Leona Mecum are each a type known as the f'Perfect Flapperf' Now since these six-foot for soj men have been so much in FORTY-ONE THE COMMENT 1926 demand lately by the girls, they in turn want some one their own size to pick on. So since Helen and Leona were always so hckle, they naturally stepped into the line. Here comes Bernard Tomlinson, the noted moving picture actor. Isn't he handsome? Yes, he's popular with the ladies, too, more so even than were Larry Semon and Charles Chaplin. Wesley Steinmetz is the steno he employs to answer the many love letters he receives. Bud thought too many girls would have liked the position, so he fooled them and hired a man. I saw Ruth Cofran going down the street the other day wearing a purple and white sweater. She still seems to like our school colors, but I'm glad she didn't take to red again. Shels writing books now, the latest being a close approach to the Philosophy of Love, by Elinor Glynn. Since Wilson Winger finally found the best looking girl in Carthage, he married her and they're getting along just fine. He says she is a thing to adore Cnot a knocker, but a bellej. I heard a good story on Virginia Sorenson and Charlotte Atterburg. You know they went to college after high school, and one afternoon their professor told them he'd give them a make-up exam. The next day they brought their cosmetics to class. Can your imagine that? Can you imagine Shorty going to school any more, either? That's the huge joke. Edward Alberts is the editor of the humorous department for the Daily Gate City. His jokes are fine except for one thing-theylre not funny. Marjorie Worster says she doesn't believe in vaccination, because three days after her son was vaccinated he fell out of the Window and broke his .nglgcltrwas JuSf.f.Qgby,1L-,., Paul Johnson has gone in for literature zT1QlTisIspecializing Hi riJefy.IAs a pastime he reads meters for the gas company. We found out John Anschutz all right. He was working a cross-word puzzle on Drinks Used by Americans and he knew too many strong words. L, -- Vivian Buck was married soon after school was out. just lately she went into the chorus. iHer husband doesn't object, though, as he says she doesnlt kick around home so much. Frank Dose seemed to be so adapted to shorthand and typewriting that he has filled Miss Roberts, place in the old school. It's still a popular course with the girls. Jerry McKee lost her teeth Csad but truej. She said it all happened shifting gears on a lollypop. Somebody told me that James Maxwell got pinched the other day. He bought a new pair of shoes, a couple of sizes too small. Dorothy Hill calls her latest boy friend Kitten, The reason is, I guess, that he doesn't have his eyes open yet. I was talking to Anna Welsch this morning. She's Dr. Robert Heine's office girl. Just confidentially she told me that not long ago he received a letter from some one which read as follows. After using twenty bottles of your famous remedy, I have recovered my strength sufficiently to beat up on you for ever selling me such fake medicinef' Don't tell her I told you, but I know you won't repeat it. Ethelyn Wright must know a lot about football. When her escort at FORTY-TWO THE COMMENT 1926 a football game told her the halfback was about to kick off she asked if he was injured in the last game. Jamie Naggs has filled Mr. Bail's place in Senior High. He makes an ideal coach and every once in a while someone passes in physics. Helen Hammat has a whole handful of diamonds now. You remember she started early in collecting rings. I guess that's a new get-rich-quick scheme. Carl Robertson is an Apache dancer. He always was quite adept at handling figures fin mathematics work, I meanj. Thelma Stump and Wilma Banks are rooming together and working in New York. They're getting a little dope on how that city became such a wonder and are planning to go back and make Wayland a second New York. Loyal citizens, aren't they? Joseph Ashley says he doesn't believe in evolution. Where he came from does not bother him-it's where he's going. Mildred Smith hasn't marriedg says she can't be bothered with men, but she does love to go in swimming. When she bought her last bathing suit the clerk told her he wouldn't warrant it to be fast colors. She told him it was loud enough for her. i I forgot to tell you that Ellis Hockaday is on the Gate City staff, too. He's the one who has the weather write-up in the paper, uno. The other day he wrote Fair here today and tomorrow. George Miller asked him later if he was going to the fair, and where it was going to be. Virginia lmmegart is married and very much in love with her husband. As long as she drinks to him only with her eyes she will never go wrong. Harold Riley and his girl, whom he has been going with ever since K. H. S. days, finally had a disastrous quarrel. You see, one nite she happened to have her head on his shoulder. She blissfully remarked that his shoulder was so soft, and he, lost in this thoughts, said So is your head. Mary Nell Wood and Dorothy Sterne have a great treat in store for anyone tomorrow nite. Give them the air-they're going to sing over the radio. Delmon Kean had a brilliant idea once to build himself at glass house and be different. He says that people who live in glass houses should have neighbors who have glass eyes. Pauline Schmidt has taken ten lessons to learn to drive her new car and she can't even start it yet. I thought the chauffeur was surely stupid, but she informed me that he was merely handsome. Muriel Reed and Melvin Smith were in an accident lately and both lost their eyesight. No, they didn't lose their place on the police force, but they are now appointed as special officers to hunt for stills. Someone told me that Margaret Schwartz bought herself a large farm yesterday and will put to practice all she learned in agriculture. Vida, I was surprised to find that you are running for Mayor. Don't run too hard or too far-and watch your step! Well, I guess I'll have to hurry in now. One can't talk over the back fence all day, and, besides, I left the iron on a few minutes while I talked to you and it should be about hot enough now. I'll talk to you again some- time before the big event. Good-bye. EVA WYLLIE. FORTY-THREE THE COMMENT 1926 Glass Twill i Since our class has been so successful, and since T i ' we feel that we have among us so many good traits , and characteristics, the Seniors have elected me to ' X serve as their attorney in drawing up a will, leaving . f g to the other classes those things which we consider I , necessary for them to become successful and dis- X it , ' tinguished Seniors. We also have a few small items , f to be left to the Faculty. Q First of all, Charles Winkelman wishes to leave K Mr. Davis one of his new Buick sedans. Even Q Buicks will only last so long. Robert I-Ieine's overcoat we will to Miss Carley. l The lining ought to make several nice cotton dresses. P 6 Anna Mary Kircher leaves all btg about four e - inches of her hair to Eddie Purcell. E die will have Z YW to go right to the barber shop.h b h 'T D Anna Stanton leaves er last year's irt - 4 day cards to Miss Merrick. Perhaps they 0 , will give her some artful ideas. , , John Anschutz's extra weight we also 'Z' a bestow upon our dear Principal. Why not eeSf have a really big man at the head of Keokuk Senior High School? e Hilda-Noiflereleeaeveseher s-peed in speech to Mr. Gill, who always has more to say than he has time for. Edna Briggs's boisterous way we leave to Myrtle Koch with the hope that she will overcome timidity. Melvin Smith leaves the trombone with which he blew himself to fame and back again in care of Mr. Dod. Dorothy Hill's coat we leave to Miss Bailey, who is not used to the frozen North. jim Thomas generously bestows his career as a D student on, anyone who thinks his grades are too high. Jim Maxwell leaves his sleeping powders to Paul Cockrell. Paul sleeps so little that he must sleep soundly. Melvin Morris leaves his ability to manage the team to anyone that wishes the job, so that Melvin may have more time with his Packard. To Chuck Danford, Jim Joyce wills the muffler off his Ford. The Ford doesnlt need it, but Chuck is entirely too noisy. Vida La Master wills her book, ul-Iow to Become a Vampf' to Alice Schaefer, who seems interested. Charles Holbrook's oratorical abilities we bestow upon Harold Haisch, so that he may preach to the chickens. Deslie Lewis leaves his bashfulness to Bruce Boler, who will easily over- come it. lva Sullivan wants to leave Paul Smith one more kiss, in honor of You and I. FORTY-FO U R. THE COMIVIENT 1926 Carl Taylor will leave his banjo, including two picks and an extra string, to anyone who will give him 391.17 for it. To Louise Hammat we leave Aineth lVIcEldowney's smile. A smile isn'l as noisy as a laugh. Ellis Hockaday's position in William Dod's band we leave to anyone who can make enough noise. i Wilson Winger leaves his interest in Carthaginian girls to someone in Carthage. Virginia Lawrence's specs we will to Ralph Peterson, hoping they'll help him see through things. Delmon Kean leaves his bass voice to John Anderson. It will probably blend With his own and make a high tenor. Glendora Barber leaves a complaint that she learned more than her head will hold and it's going to her feet. Thelma Stump and Wilma Banks leave their lively flow of conversation to Dorothy Ruddick and Elizabeth Winger, who seem sadly in need of it. Albert Linquist wills Margaret Teeters fifty dollars to buy him a Christ- mas present next year. To Harry Daughrity Glenn Younkin leaves a razor which he bought with the intention of shaving, but has never had to use it.

Soon after the fall semester had begun, a meeting of the Juniors Was called. The following oflicers Were elected for the new year: Tench Gammon, President. Elizabeth Winger, Vice-President. Doris Arnold, Secretary. . Paul Smith, Treasurer. Due to the foresi ht of our oHicers, early in the ear, the class s onsored cc v as '- Y p Tony Sarg s Marionettes. The attraction Was a huge success and the proceeds are to help us in giving the Seniors a rousing send-off.

Frm., ' Tlrlli COMMENT 1926 BAIL ..., Coach Coach started the season with nine letter men and quite a bit of promis- ing material. Although he had nine letter men to work with, he had a hard job making them into the players he had lost. Most of the material was new and inexperienced. He started practice the first week in Sep- tember even though it was a hundred in the shade. The season did not end till in November. Although We did not win the Mississippi Valley Conference, Coach Bail turned out a team good enough to beat Fort Madison, which means almost as much to us. CAPT. EARL tt.. Tackle Howdy', was a good scrapper and very few, no matter how big or tough, got through his side of the line. He was always in the fight from beginning to end. He received All-State honorable mention on the State team. It will be hard to find a man to fill his place next year. PURCELL---,,C00fh p This is his second year here and he has proved a good coach and a good worker. Coach Purcell played football on the Missouri Valley team and has given the team many good pointers. We hope he will be with us in the years to come to instill fight and pep into the team. SIXTY-ONE THE COMMENT 1926 ' NAGGS .... E nd Jamie started the season at tackle and was finally shifted to end, where his ability at running down punts and breaking up plays was invaluable. He also helped Roan make the touchdown against Madison by giving splendid interference. We are sorry to lose him this year. ELTING .... Quarrterback Tiny was our plunging back who made a name for himself by making gains whenever needed. The Quincy Whig said: Elting, Keokuk's 200- pound quarterback, would not be scorned on any college squad. He received All-State honorable mention. This is his last year. BARTHOLOMEW CCaptain-electb .... Guard Bart was big and helped to stop the fellows from breaking through our line. Although he was not an individual star, he was always fighting and played clean all the way through. He will be a good example as a captain to the fellows next year. SIXTY-TWO THE COMMENT 1926 ToM1.1NsoN Y... Halfback Buddy started the season at quarterback, but Was later shifted to half, Where she showed up best, and proved himself a good scrapper. Although he was small in stature, he made up for it in fight and pep. It Will be hard to find a man to fill his place next year. MORRIS .-.. Guard i Morris showed up Well on the line and no man was too big for him to buck against. He Was a good lighter and a clean player. He will not be back next year to carry on the good Work. CoLL1Ns .... Halfback This was Collins, first year out and he showed up well. He Was Very fast and shifty, making an eighty-yard run in the Stronghurst game. He has another year to go and Will be an aid to the team. SIXTY-THREE THE COMMENT 1926 l MCD'EVITT .... Center This is lVIac,s', first year at our school and showed up well on the football squad. He was a good fighter, and in the Quincy game he out- classed their All-Conference center. He received All-State honorable mention. He has another year to go, so watch him go. SCHLOTTER .... Tackle ' Tim showed up well this year on the line. He was fighting all the time whether in mud or water. He received All-State honorable mention. He has two more years and will be an asset to the team. He was exceptionally good on breaking through the opposing line and breaking up passes and punts. ROAN--d,,EMd Joe was fast and played his position very well. He proved the hero in the Madison game, picking up a fumble and running forty yards to make the winning touchdown. We are sorry to lose him this year. SIXTY-F0 UR . TH12 COMMENT 1926 l KINNAMON .... Halfbark -- Les was fast and could always find a way to get through the opposing line. He was especially good on end runs and there was hardly a game played that he did not make some good gains. ,We are glad to have him with us next year. WILSEY-.---C6HfE7' and Guard Ray started the season at center and later was shifted to guard, where he proved a good find. Although he played some good games at center, his best games were played at guard. He could always be depended on to do his best. He will not be back next year. WILFERT ,vg, Fzzlllmck Specs was a good line plunger and always did his share when in the game. Although he was small, he was heavy and had plenty of speed. He will be a great help to the team, as he has another year to go. SIXTY-FIVE THE COMMENT 1926 WILLOUGHBY .a,. Fzzllback Willoughby performed exceptionally well at hitting the line for short but needed gains. It seemed that he liked to play in mud, as he played his best when the field was a sea of mud. And most of our games were on anything but dry fields, so he had plenty of chance to show his good ability at hitting the line. This is his last year. ' RODDY .... H al fb ack Although Roddy was light and small, he was fast and made good gains around the end. He played end in a couple of games and showed up exceedingly well in the Quincy game, where he broke through the line and blocked a kick and recovered the ball, resulting in a touchdown. He has another year to make touchdowns in. FERRIS ..Ac Tackle Poof had the lighting spirit and showed up well at his position. He was a good scrapper and was always in the game doing his best. He has another year to go and his experience will be very valuable to the team next year. SIXTY-SIX THE COMMENT 1926 FURLONG ,... End Joe was fast and Was exceptionally good at running down punts and catching passes. He is tall and his experience Will help us to have a Win- ning team next year. HOLLAND .... Guard Thiswas Fat's first year on the squad and he showed up fine. He showed his lighting ability to the greatest extent in the Centerville game. He will not be with us to keep up the good Work next year. SIXTY-SEVEN THE CoMM1aN'r1926 jfnuthall bzasuu uf 1925 The first game on our schedule was with Burlington. lt was a fine day and Burlington was determined to celebrate their new stadium by giving us a good beating. We were beaten, but not without much struggling and fighting. Our team really outplayed the Purple and Gray, but Burlington received all the odds of the game. ln the Hrst quarter a Burlington player blocked a punt on our twelve- yard line and by a few line plunges they had a touchdown. The try for goal was successful. In the second period another Burlington player, catching one of our punts on a thirty-five-yard line and with perfect inter- ference, scored another touchdown. ln the last half another touchdown was made by Burlington, and they also kicked goal. The score was 19-O. ln the last quarter, with the aid of Wilson, Kinnamon's passing and lVIeister's fine playing, we scored a touchdown. The game ended 19-6. Gctober 3 was our next scheduled game. We were to play Palmyra, our first Conference game, and as it was too muddy to play on the regular field, the game was played at the ball park. Although, most of the gains were in our favor, we did not score a touch- down, because of fumbles or penalties. ln the last quarter we worked the ball down the field until coming to the one-yard line, where we were stopped. We had four downs in which to make the one yard, and we felt very sure of making it, but Palmyra tightened up their defense and held us four downs without gain. A moment later the game ended 0-0. SIXTY-EIGHT THE CoMMEN'r 1926 The next Saturday, October 10, we were scheduled with another game with Burlington. Near the close of the first quarter a pass netted Burlington their first score. Before the half was over another touchdown was scored by them. In the third quarter Elting's punt was blocked and Willoughby recovered it, but was tackled behind the goal line, giving Burlington two more points on a safety. Again, in the fourth quarter, another one of our punts was blocked and again Burlington scored a touchdown. Before the game was over an intercepted pass gave Burlington another score, making the final score 27-0. October 17 we played Quincy on a field which was a sea of mud. Our first touchdown came early in the second quarter, when Roddy blocked a punt and recovered the balljust over the goal line. The try for the goal was missed. Elting and Willoughby's line plunging helped us to make many needed gains. Again, in the fourth quarter, another blocked punt gave us the ball on the five-yard line. On the first try Elting went across the line for six more points and a moment later kicked a goal. Soon after the game ended 13-0 in favor of Keokuk. The next week we were scheduled to play the Stronghurst warriors. As it had been raining for a week before, the field was not quite as dry as it might have been. But as it seemed our luck to play in mud we made the best of it and came out with a 13-0 win. We had little trouble in making gains, except for fumbles. In the last quarter the second team also got into the fray. It was the thirty-first of October when the team journeyed to Center- ville to meet the Coal lVIiners in another muddy battle. In the first quarter we were sort of taken off our feet by their new and tricky plays, and before the quarter ended they had scored a touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. But in the second quarter we had things quite a bit in our favor. We started a big drive and carried the ball down to the three-yard line, where We were penalized Hfteen yards, so before We could make up the distance the half ended 6-0 in their favor. The second half saw neither team able to score, so the game ended with Centerville leading 6-0. Armistice Day we played Fort Madisoii on our own field. Again we played on a muddy field, both sides using aerial attack quite frequently, but neither side could gain to much advantage. The break came in the last quarter. Naggs and Roan broke through the Madison interference and Roan scooped up a fumble, while Naggs gave him wonderful interference by spilling two or three Madison tackles, allowing Roan to cross the goal line without much difficulty. The try for goal was missed. The game ended a few minutes later with a score of 6-0 in favor of the Purple and White. SIXTY-NINE THE COMMENT 1926 On Turkey Day we played Carthage there in our annual game. We had a fine chance to win the Mississippi Valley Conference championship by defeating Carthage. ln the first quarter Carthage proved to be very strong on passes, and as the field was wet it seemed the only possible way of making any gain. Carthage scored a touchdown in the first quarter on a long pass. All during the game they were very dangerous on account of this. But in the last quarter we got a touchdown by a series of end runs and line plunges. After we had kicked goal, making the score 7-6 in our favor, there was just three minutes left to play. However, Carthage tried another long pass, and as it was way over the heads of our secondary defense it fell into the arms of a fast Carthage end, who sped on across the line for a touchdown. The try for goal was successful. A moment later the game ended 13-7 in their favor. RESULTS OF GAMES FOR 1925 Keokuk Burlington -E Keokuk Palmyra wav Keokuk Burlington -, Keokuk QUiHCy ----- Keokuk Stronghurst - Keokuk Centerville -- Keokuk Fort Madison Keokuk Carthage --- SEVENTY 2 Mankvihall THE COMMENT 1926 Basketball Several weeks before football ended, Coach Bail called first practice for basketball for all men who were not out for football. Before football practice was over two games Were played at Denmark and we Won both by small scores, the first being 4-0 and the second 6-14. Both were close games and gave Coach Bail an insight on some good material. Coach started the season with just three letter men, but after football there was a lot of material and Coach picked a good, but inexperienced, squad and out of this made a winning sectional team. Our Hrst scheduled game after football practice was with Montrose here. Although it was a hard- fought battle and we won, it showed us many of our weak spots, the score indicating that it was a close battle, the game end- ing 18-8. Cn December 11 Coach Bail and eight members of the squad went to Qttumwa. Although the score doesn't show it, we ,made them earn all their points. But they were too fast for us and we lost, 44-14. Kinnamon and Elting did most of the scoring for us. The next night we played Burlington and again we were defeated, but spectators who witnessed both games stated that we played a 100 per cent better game than the night before. But we couldn't reach Burlington's 6-foot 2-inch center. They also had a forward of about the same height. So we were beaten 38-15. Kinnamon played a good game, scoring four baskets and a free throw. Willotighby and Tomlinson also played a good game. December 18 we played Kahoka at 4:30, after school. Everything was in our favor in this game. Captain Kinnamon starred with ten baskets and a free throw. Wilfe1't, hlcliee, Elting and Wolloughby also helped in the scoring and played good games. On Tuesday, December 23, Cedar Rapids' fast aggregation came down here to give us a good beating. Well, they beat us, but after considerable fight and struggle. As it seemed to be our failing we didn't get started till the latter part of the last half, and as the gun shot we were going strong. We lost by only three baskets, 30-24. Cedar Rapids tied for second place in the State Meet and won two games in the National Consolation Tour- nament. So we felt pretty good although we were defeated. After the Christmas vacation our first game was January 8, with Don- nellson. 'This game brought us back in the win column again by beating them 28-10. Although it was easily our game, Donnellson seemed to score all through the game. Tomlinson, Elting and Kinnamon did the scoring, while Bartholomew and Robertson did some good guarding. The next day we went to Burlington to try our hand at them again. This time We had more pep and gave them a better Hght than before. But again they were too much for us and we lost 28-16. Tomlinson, Elting and Rob- ertson played the best games. The next Friday Hannibal came up here expecting to beat us. But, SEVENTY-TWO THE CoMMENT 1926 although they failed in the attempt, it was one of the most exciting games ever played on our floor. It was a close-fought battle from beginning to end. The score rather seesawed back and forth until the last few minutes of play, when Coach Bail took Captain Kinnamon out, but put him back in the same minute. No sooner had play been resumed when Kinnamon slipped away from his guard and got a basket from the side, putting us one point ahead. A moment later the game was over. Kinnamon without at doubt the star, scoring nine field goals. Wilfert and Gammon also played well. The following day we went to Centerville. Although we were not aware of it at the time, we were to witness another fast game. It was a fast game from beginning to end and even more of a thriller than the night before. With two minutes to go, we took time out to talk it over, the score standing 22-17 in favor of Centerville. It didn't look very promis- ing at the time. But the minute the whistle blew we started, Kinnamon making three and Elting making one before the final whistle blew, while Centerville only got a free throw. The game ended 23-25 in our favor. Kinnamon and Elting scored six baskets and Robertson scored a free throw and also shared guarding honors with Willoughby, who did fine. Friday, January 22, Madison came down in all their glory, very confi- dent of giving us a good beating. The game all the way through was slow. Our team was almost worn outg the week before we had played two hard, close games, and then followed exam week. So we were beaten 12-9. Captain Kinnamon scored all our points and showed up the best. Tomlin- son and Meister also played good. The next night we went over to Carthage. Carthage had a Hne chance to be Conference champions, so we, decided to break their winning streak. Although we played a much better game than the night before, we were beaten 29-26 in the last two minutes. Robertson, Wilfert and Kinnamon playing the best games. Next week the team took a two-day trip to Palmyra and Hannibal. We conquered Palmyra without much difficulty to the tune of 22-10, Kinna- mon, Wilfert, Willoughby and Meister showing up well. Then we went on to Hannibal determined to repeat the performance. Everything went well until the second quarter, and we were ahead. But their star forward started making baskets and it seemed that wherever he threw the ball from it went in. He was stopped after he had scored about thirty points. The final score was 43-17. Tomlinson, Gammon and Wilfert played well. The next Friday we were scheduled to play Centerville here. This game was rather slow in comparison with the game up there. We were too fast for the coal miners and we won 20-S. Tomlinson, Wilfert, Gammon and McKee showed up exceedingly well. The next day the team went down to Quincy to ruin their chances of being Conference champions. Different to previous games, we got going in the first of the game instead of the last part. ln the first quarter we started off with a rush and by the time the whistle blew we had them 5-2. In the second quarter Wilfert and Kinnamon got going and by the time the first half was over we had them 10-4. But the third quarter was of a slightly different tune. Quincy got going and at the end of the third SEVENTY-THREE THE COMMENT 1926 quarter the score stood 12-17 in Quincy's favor. Although we fought harder in the last quarter, they were too fast for us and the game ended 23-17 in Quincy's favor. Due to the withdrawal of Kahoka and Carthage from the Tri-County Tournament, Keokuk met Madison at eleven o'clock. Captain Kinnamon was unable to play and his absence was quite a blow to our scoring machine. Although fighting from the first whistle to the last, the game ended 34-18 in favor of the Crimson and Black, Tomlinson and Wilfert doing most of the scoring and Robertson and Bartholomew doing some good guard- ing. , Denmark made the trip down here through the mud to take a 29-12 defeat. In this game Coach Bail used ten men and all of them showed up well. The Denmark defense did not seem able to find itself on the large floor and our players scored almost at will, while Denmark scored mostly from the middle of the floor. Tomlinson and Gammon did their share of the scoring, while Furlong and Meister also showed up well. February 26 we went up to Madison determined to beat them on their own floor for the first time, but the first half didn't look at all promising. The first quarter ended 11-2 and the half ended 20-8, both in Madison's favor. Coach Bail must have given our squad a good lecturing, for when the second half started they acted like a different team. The third quarter saw the score 17-27 in Madison's favor. ln the last quarter we got nine points to their two points, Tomlinson and Kinnamon doing most of the scoring, while Wilfert, Willoughby and Bartholomew did their share. In the Sectional Tournament Keokuk's first opponent was Donnellson. The team was playing well and had little trouble defeating the Orange and Black in the second half. But in the first half they held a good lead most of the time. In the last half, though, we got going and piled up a 27-19 win. Madison downed Farmington in the afternoon after a good fight and gained the way into the finals, where they clashed with us Saturday night. Madison already had chalked up three victories over us, so they were very confident of repeating the performance. But we decided it was about our turn to win a game, so when the game started we took them off their feet. The first quarter ended 5-2 in our favor and we kept going strong and the half ended 9-4, still in our favor. ln the last half Madison tallied with a basket and three free throws, while we only collected one free throw. But when the whistle blew we were ahead 10-9. Did we beat Madison? Yea, Bo! Wilfert and Kinnamon each scored two field goals and Kinnamon scored two free throws. Bartholomew and Willoughby also did some fine guarding. So next Thursday morning we started for Centerville to play in the District 'Tournament We drew Newton the first game at eight olclock Thursday night. Although we put up a good right, the Maytag boys were too much for us. Their fast and shifty captain seemed almost impossible to stop and he scored nineteen points alone. But we do not feel very down- hearted about our defeat, as Newton won the State championship and were defeated by one point by the team that won the National Consolation championship. Newton beat us by the score of 30-21. Furlong and Bar- tholomew showed up well, while Captain Kinnamon was the star. SEVENTY-FOUR THE COMMENT 1926 Kinnamon are, Wihlfert -1 Elting ,.,.

He performed exceedingly well at for- ward. He was second high point man. He has another year to go. ' 4 SEVENTY-EIGHT smoke. TOMLINSON .a,. Guard Tomlinson performed equally well at forward and guard. Although he showed up well at for- ward, he played several fine games at guard. He was the smallest but the scrappiest player, and no opponent was too big for Buddy. We are sorry to lose him. THE COMMENT 1926 BARTHOLUMEW .. Guard Bartholomew got into the game at guard be- cause of his size and ability to cover his man and break up passes. Bart showed up exceptionally well in the District Tournament. He will be invaluable to the team next year. r . . iiyri WILLOUGHBY ..,. Guard Willoughby played well at guard and center. Although he played guard, that did not hinder him from making his share of points. This is his last year and we will miss him a great deal next year. Q My K5 5 .4 , ELTING .-,. Center Elting, although only playing one semester, performed remarkably well at center. Very few of Keokuk's opposing centers could out-jump him. He always came through with a basket when it was most needed. This is his last year and we are sorry to lose him. SEVENTY-NINE THE COMMENT 1926 MCKEE .... Forward McKee, although small in size, made up for it through his fast and clean playing. He was one of the cleanest players on the squad. This is his first year on the squad. This is his last year, as he is moving out of town. lVfEISTER w..a Guard Meister played guard and forward, playing best at guard. He was fast and shifty and cov- ered his man Well.

Guard s Robertson played guard and stuck to his man very Well. This is his first year on the squad. He Was short, but fast, and could be depended upon at all times to play his best. This is his last year. GAMMON .... F orward Gammon played both center and guard posi- tions and played them well. No man Was too big for Tench to guard. He has another year to go and will be of value to the team.

Keokuk scored seven Hrsts, two seconds, six thirds, making a total of 48 points. Warsaw scored four firsts, eight seconds, two thirds, making 46 points. Hamilton scored one nrst, two seconds and three thirds for 14 points. Roddy scored first in the Mile and Collins scored a Hrst in the Half Mile. Elting won the High Jump, second in the Shot Put and third in the Discus. Beard, Reed, Kiefer, McCutchan, Morris, Grout and Johnson added points. Keokuk ranked higher in 1925 in the Conference Track Meet than ever before, placing second to Fort Madison. Captain Phillips was high scorer of the meet, winning the 100 in 10 2-5 and setting two new records, 22 4-5 for the 220 and 27 flat for the 220 low hurdles. Eltin won the High Jump with a leap of 5 feet 5 inches, with johnson placing second. Track letters were won by Phillips, Elting, Robert Johnson, Collins, and Roddy. Phillips winning the 100 and finishing second in the 200 at the Tri-State Meet at Fairfield, Elting, Johnson, Collins and Roddy placed in the Montrose Dual, the Triangular Track Meet and also in the Mississippi Valley Conference. Of these Eve letter men, only two, Roddy and Captain-elect Collins, are available for the 1926 season. Clllrnsz Qluuntrp Cross country running was intro- duced by Coach Bail this year for the first time. The squad was small, but showed up well in the Dual Meet with Quincy. O'Heeron was elected Captain. The Coach is in hopes this will de- velop as an inter-school sport each year. The prospects for next year are good, as Captain 0'Heeron will be back, as well as Roddy and Sigmund. EIGHTY-THREE THE COMMENT 1926 Girls' Qtbletits . Girls' athletics in the Senior High School are Q T' carried on under the auspices of an organization known as the Gills' Athletic Association Mem enrolled in physical tiaining classes provided they can meet the qualifications for entrance which are as follows l Enrollment in the Senior High School for 1 V at least six weeks before application for mem- ' v bership. f . 2. An average of C in scholarship. 3. Exemplification of a high degree of sportsmanship and effort in all phases of physical activity and classwork. 4. Pass the Bancroft triple test for posture. 5. Present a certificate of good health and freedom from physical defects. Membership in the Association entitles a girl to do special work to qualify for a school letter. The activities are carried on as regular class work, so that all girls, whether they are able at the beginning to pass the tests for membership, are receiving the benefits to be derived from the work. The activities carried on in gymnasium classes include calisthenic drill, marching, folk dances, simple and organized games, and individual ediciency tests. Class tournaments in newcomb and volley ball were played early in the season, and during the second semester an interclass end ball tournament was played. We believe that those who wear the school letter should represent the best in all-round development that there is to offer. In view of this fact, a point system has been adopted whereby a girl who gives evidence of moral and mental leadership and development, in addition to a consider- able degree of skill and ability in physical activities, is entitled to earn a K. The threefold plan thus recognizes leadership in school organizations, scholarship, and physical attainments, and thereby encourages the training of head, heart, and body. Voluntary after-school practices are held during the spring months for those who desire to do additional work in these activities. A The Association provides two awards: the first a monogram, K.G.A.A,, for five hundred points earned, and the second a six-inch Qld English K for one thousand points. Much interest has been evidenced by the girls, and the Association is expecting to award at least five K's this year. The meetings of the organization are held after school on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Regular business is taken care of, with occasional programs by various groups within the Association or talks or addresses by someone outside the organization who has a message of special interest to the girls. The social phase of the program is not neglected, and various parties of interest are planned throughout the year. Y., v bership in the Association is open to A11 girls ' fyf A., Y ' ' - i 4 ?, , i : mt, A I I i EIGHTY-FOUR THE COMMENT 1926 Kismet BY DELlNItJN L. KE.'XN I once heard a man in accents low, Remark in a voice that was full of woe, That the world was growing worse each day, Day by day and in every way. In these sad thoughts he seemed to take pleasure, For he rambled on in that doleful measure, Joy and happiness are things of the past And we all find pain and sorrow at last. And I thought as I looked at this man so glum, Who wouldn't Whistle or joyfully hum, That life for him must be all sadness, With no days free for joy or gladness. And so, thoug I think my lot is hard, And life seems to hang on the turn of a card, I am glad that for me each new day brings A score of beautiful and happy things. EIGHTY-FIVE THE COMMENT 1926 lube Love is like a trunk-if you don't check it in time, you have to express it. Love is what tempts a man to tell foolish lies to a Woman and a woman to tell the fool truth to a man. Love is a flame that lights the World and burns like all fury. Love is a bit of misery sweetened with imagination, salted with tears, spiced With doubt, flavored with novelty and swallowed With your eyes shut. Love is a malady for which there are a lot of sure cures , but the quick- est and the surest is another love. Love is only an episode in a man's life, but the entire history of a Wo- man's life. Love is a millstone around a man's neck and naturally every man in love wants to plunge into the sea-of matrimony. Bare She took out the bottle and shook her head, I hate to open the thing, she saidg It came all the way from far off France. It's labeled and sealed good stuff-at a glance. Oh, what shall I do?

With only five members enrolled at first, the membership grew until it reached thirty-three, although because of semes- ter changes in schedules the active membership at any one time did not exceed twenty-five. Due largely to the efforts of Principal Davis, it was fitted with complete uniforms in the school colors of purple and white. The band has played at nearly all the football and basketball games held in Keokuk and has played at Burlington, Carthage and Fort Madison for games held there. It cooperated with other school organizations in the program at the teachers, reception for parentsg it made its initial appear- ance in uniform on Go to School Night, and on March twenty-sixth it gave its annual concert to an appreciative audience. It is working hard at present on pieces for the spring contests. ' PERSONNEL Director: Will C.

Treasurer The Senior High School weekly newspaper, The Broadcast, which had its beginning with a Thanksgiving issue in 1925, was published by the Klub. Members of the Senior Typewriting class acted as editors in turn, and had the assistance of representatives from organizations and of other members of the Klub. The paper was continued until the end of the first semester, 1925-26, when a newly organiaed Journalism class was formed, which took charge of the paper as a means of putting its theory into prac- tice. VVe hope this small beginning will grow into a real printed news- paper that will live and preserve a record of daily activities. Last year, members of the A Typewriting class, also members of the Klub, invited the Business and Professional VVomen's Club of the city to enter a speed contest. This year the invitation came from the Business Women's Club, and a lively spirit of work prevailed. The Klub also sent representatives to the district and state shorthand and typewriting con- tests. The Hnancing of these contests is done, as far as possible by the Klub. The proceeds from the Broadcast and from a supplies store are the chief means of raising funds. This organization is a branch of the lowa High School Commercial Contest Association, which is the organi7ation that conducts the state con- tests in shorthand and typewriting. NINETY-SEVEN THE COMMENT 1926 The letter Men This is an organization with membership restricted to those who have Won a letter in a major sport. The main object is to promote athletics and instill sportsmanship in the school. Although usually inactive, it can be called upon to accomplish things, and therefore proves a leading factor in the school's activities.

More interest is being taken in dramatics each year, and as a result the club continues to cherish rosy dreams of the future. Barry's You and l has already been produced, as has the Joint Owners in Spain, which was given NGO-to-School Night. Adam and Eva, the last long play of the year, was given in April. Besides these, several one-act plays are planned for the remainder of the year. It is felt that one-act plays give people a chance to participate who would not otherwise have the privilege, and at the same time gives them invaluable experience for the bigger productions. Cn March 5, the Club had a party at which time a novel program was given on the stage of the auditorium in the form of six acts of Vodvil. Everyone hopes to have another party before the school year ends. ONE HUNDRED EIGHT THE COMMENT 1926 The Bumantit Zlge By A. A.

This play marked the final appearance of several who had been prominent in Keokuk High School Dramatics. Their places will be hard to Hll. The cast worked hard and succeeded in bring- ing out the distinctly English humor far beyond expectations. Credit must be given to Miss Stevenson, who labored untiringly and successfully to make this, the last play under her direction in the Keokuk Senior High School, a decided success.

Charles Holbrook Presented by the Keo-Hi Dramatic Club, November 20, 1925. You and In is a modern play by Philip Barry, a young Harvard graduate. The above cast Worked hard under Miss McClenahan's direction. The play is not a comedy of situations bordering on a farce, but really a comedy of character. It suggests the affection of father, mother and son. It pictures a father's shattered dreams, a son's ambitions about to be realized, a Wife's devotion, and a sWeetheart's sacrifice. George P. Baker, Barry's instructor, can make plain just what he has accomplished in a few Words. Here is what he says: Humorously, yet gently, you have revealed to your generation one of the little tragedies of us, your elders, Whom they are disposed Cmurmuring Mid-Victorians,'j to waive aside as emotional rigiditiesf' ONE HUNDRED TEN THE COMMENT 1926 r l Eenlamaturp Gnntest winners A real interest in Declamation work was shown by the twenty students who entered the contest this year. After six weeks of intensive work, an elimination contest was held to determine the contestants in the High School contest, which took place on January 29. Delmon Kean, reading Eliph Hewlitt, Book Agentf, won first in the humorous group and first over all in the contest. Mildred Poole was awarded second place in this division. In the oratorical group, first place went to Charles Holbrook for his rendition of The Constitution, and second honors were awarded to Albert Linquist. First place in the dra- matic division was won by Ruth Cofran, with her interpretation of Jean Deprezf' Nannie Bright Barker received second place in this class. Three Keokuk contestants entered the State Preliminary contest at Montrose, competing against Donnellson, Montrose and Ft. Madison, and won first in Oratorical and Humorous, and second in Dramatic. On March 12, Keokuk entertained the Sub-district contest. Keokuk again carried off higher honors than any other school, with a first in humorous and a second in Oratorical. At the Pre-district contest at Iowa City, Delmon Kean again won first place, which entitled him to enter the Disrict conest held at Ottumwa. This is the farthest that a Keokuk contestant has ever gone in the state dleclamatory contests, and this year has given us a record of which to be proud. As winner over all in the local contest, Delmon Kean will rep- resent the Keokuk Senior High School in the Mississippi Valley Confer- ence, which is held early in May. Competition in the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, held on March 30, was very intense. First honors were awarded to Charles Holbrook for his speech on The Coal Strike, while Paul Smith and Albert Lin- quist were tied for second.

Something happened Tuesday or the day before That shall happen Nevermore. While I was working hard a sweeping, I heard something softly creeping That I shall want to hear No more. Now Ifm not inclined to weeping, But, you know this creepy creeping Is a sound that I Abhor. So my heart contained no cheer ' And my mind was racked with fear, And my head felt Awful sore. Fie, said I, for 'twas small noise Made me lose all thought and poise, I must finish on This floor. But to save me I could not Concentrate my mind or thought, For I wanted to Learn more. Though I kept continued search I always followed in the lurchg I got no farther Than before. Then there came a tap tap tapping, Ticking ticking tapping, rapping, It was such an Awful bore. Thoughts now added to my feaerg Maybe the end of the world was here! On m'y mind It tore. Thought I, if this I survive I know I'll live to a hundred fiveg That and maybe Many more. I nearer to the sound was 'proaching, Perhaps it was some stranger poaching, And the thought, it made Me sore. So I quickly crossed the hall, Staggering, but without a fall, Boldly opening A door. There I saw some noise machines Worked by girls, all in their 'teensg That, and Nothing more. The teacher said that that tap-tapping I heard, was the type a rapping, I'll dispute this lNever more. V But to others I shall tell, And believe it ever well, 'Twas the type I heard a typing- That, and Nothing more. CHARLES F. HoLBRooK. ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN w . K THE COMMENT 1926 IEA!!!

TABER LL MBER CO. DISTRIBUTORS OF J h M 'll A b t h' 1 ABSOLUTELY FIRE PROOF Fifty-seven Warys of Escaping Speed Cops 1. Upon seeing a cop behind you, draw up at the side of the road, and, sitting on the step, peruse a half-finished cross-word puzzle. You will both stay there for some time. 2. When cop is close behind you, sud- denly throw in reverse. When you have fished the cop out of your gas tank, he will be only too glad to accept your spare tire as a souvenir. 3. Leave a fake bottle of Johnnie Walker on the road. But be sure to be out of the state before he discovers it is only rain water. 4. Never drive over eight miles per hour. This alwa'ys gives unfailing results, and should be tried when other methods fail. 5. Mix a little mustard gas with your exhaust. Ten gallons per hour is sufhcient for roads not too infested. 6. Construct your auto so that the back is a duplicate of the front. Then when ' ht ' ' th back seat and you sig a cop, Jump in e drive to meet him. This never fails to work. 7. Wear heavy shoes so that you can step on the gas harder, thus escaping by dint of superior speed. P. L. KENNEDY GENERAL CEMENT CONTRACTOR Phone 399 Residence 1617 Johnson WE CHARGE FOR ESTIMATES 8. Camouflage your car so that it looks like a bootlegger's, and you will not be disturbed. , 9. Paint your buggy red, put a bell in front, and trail some hose fno, not silkb behind. This works well in the great open spaces where men are men, and cops are Klansmen. 10. Empty bags of tacks behind you. One pound for each 300 yards is suggested.
