FISHER A man who always has a smile, one who is always ready and willing to do things for the betterment of the public schools of Peoria, and one who possesses that power of expressing thoroughly that which he has to express, is none other than Mr. E. C. Fisher, Superintendent of the Peoria Public Schools. Peoria is fortunate in having such a capable person as Mr. Fisher to head the school system, and Manual, too, is happy to have the honor of claiming him. Nine ,S v lc , El' A 1 1.

Mr. Russell is a true Manualite and a great booster for Manual and her teams. He is always right there to lend a helping hand whenever a call goes forth. Mr. Russell has been with Manual seven years and has watched her grow with great interest. Under his direction the school has progressed rapidly, and may it continue to do so. Ten IRMA ANDERSON. A.

CranirnerfByng Ne more the peaehftree droops heneath the snow, Spring draws her hreath the willow houghs among. The mangoflvird now inaddens into song, And the swiftfhuilding swallows eonie and go. 'Tis the time of the long daydreains, when laughing Ivlayheqiins. On the inats of slothful revellers play, 'Tis the time of glaneing wings, and the daneing Of moonfmoths whirling the hours awayg Wlien the golden armoured guardians are withdrawn, And pleasure haunts the rustling woods till dawn. A warm and perfumed wind Strays through the palace hlind And wandering prys into some diin retreat Wllere every whisper stirs the heart to heat. Now all the gay parterres Are rivals for the sun That drains their jewelled gohlets one by one From dinipled terrace and green dewy stairs And the waterflily renders to the spring The wonder of her white unhosoining. Far away in the tall woods there is an oriole ealling, There are shadows in the hlue pavilion of dancers, and inusie rising and falling In the month of peaehfhlooin and pluinfhloom, in the silkenfsereened recess Love is the burden of sweet voiees, and hrief night melting, and the long caress Sixteen 'Q QE: ,W !

The kid party, one of its social activities, was very much enjoyed. The kid dresses made the scene a colorful one, while suckers, animal crackers, and balloons kept the guests highly amused. The Mother and Daughter Banquet furnished an opportunity for the girls to have their mothers meet their various friends. A delightful meal was served, after which the girls and their mothers expressed their satisfaction over such a lovely social event. A mass meeting in charge of Emma Turner was the occasion for the debut of a new Maiiual song based upon the popular Highways Are Happy Ways. This song later was quite widely sung and was frequently heard in the halls. All of the members of the Senior Girls' Clubffeel that this club has given them something they could not have had otherwise. OFFICERS President .... ....

SENIOR BOYS' CLUB Many have said that the Senior class was dead, hut the Senior Boys' cluh has as much pep as any organization in Manual. They have been very active in a numher of things. They had charge of several mass meetings, took care of the concessions at the Turkey Day Game, and put on a Minstrel Show that was a wow. The Minstrel Show was presented in the audi' torium on Friday evening, April 28. It kept the audience in a hilarious state of humor throughout the evening.

Manual High, our Alma Mater, We will always think of you In our hardships and our pleasures E'en the little things we do. Manual High, our Alma Mater, 'N e are loath to say adieug But we'll always cherish memories Cf the happy years with you. CHORUS: Farewell, O Alma Mater, Farewell, 0 Manual High, Though we leave your halls forever And depart with many a sigh, We are happy still in mem'ries Of the days we've spent with you Manual ties can ne'er be severed Though we sing a fond adieu. 1 928 SENIOR CLASS H1sToRY Three hundred fortyfone Freshmen entered the halls of Manual in September, 1924. We were timid little creatures fat hrstj, and perhaps, as the saying is, as green as grass. It was not safe to ask information of an upper elassman at that time and expect to get where we wanted to go. We looked up to the Seniors of that year as our models and tried to picture ourselves as such dignified people, but our Senior year seemed far in the distance with numberless gaps to be bridged by hard work and examinations before we reached it. We have changed since that time. In studies, in sports, in lifefour perspective has widened. We were perhaps not so much in earnest at that early season, and perhaps we allowed too much fun to enter in. Underclassmen we are no longer, but Seniors with a dennite aim in life which has made us much more serious than hereto' fore. Our class was much larger that first year, but a small proportion has dropped by the wayside each year. Those of us that have remained, however, have had a goal to reach which has inspired us. Work? Yes, we have worked, and worked zealously for the positions we now hold in the school. We have been well repaid. We elected no officers in our Freshman year, but we had good times, neverthef less. I think no one of us has forgotten the time we had our first party. On Sep' tember 28, 1924, it was. We played many games and thought we were satisfied. The best, however, was reserved for the last. Our surprise equalled and even surpassed our delight at the sight of really genuine Babe Ruth balls being passed among us. Mfmfmfm, but they tasted fine. Needless to say, the party was a good initiation into Manual life. During this first year we also took our places in the school activities. Harold Pratt was the only Freshman to sub on the football team. Our Freshman team won the interclass football championship. We were not slow in basketball, either. Sol Moscove made the first team, while Carl Kroepel and Fred Brown made the second team. Our students selected to serve on the Student Council were Carl Kroepel, Raymond Coxon, Robert Morrison, and Viola Elger. Cut Sophomore year opened with our class made smaller by nearly two hundred students. This year found three of our boys, Edwin Holland, Harold Pratt, Carl Kroepel, on the regular team for football, while Harold Weldin, Sol Moscove, and Carl Kroepel made the first team in basketball. Harold Weldin, George Peake, Wilf liam Guppy, and Carl Kroepel also deserve honorable mention for the splendid work they did in baseball. We held our first meeting as a Sophomore class on january 28, 1926. Mr. Rus' sell spoke to us briefly, and then we elected the class oflicers.

The junior Class met on September 9, 1926, and nominated their officers.

Juniors on the football team were George Peake, Harold Weldiii, Harold Pratt, and Carl Kroepel. Carl Kroepel, Harold Weldiii, and Sol Moscove were on thc regf ular team in basketball. A11 indications seemed to promise we were going to have fine teams in both sports the next year. The new standard class ring was chosen in our Junior year. It was our privilege to be the Hrst to wear it. Cnly the juniors in the upper quarter of thc class, however, were allowed to order their rings before the close of that fiscal year. The highest award of our High School life was given to four honorable Juniors. Michael Loukitus, Laura Corbitt, Jacob Lentz and Fred Ericzon were clezted to the National Honor Society during their junior year. The Seniorfjunior hop was held April 22. It was a grand success and spoke well for the Seniors. Cn june 6 came the juniorfSenior Prom. It was the last, and perhaps the best, event of the entire year. It owed its success to the untiring efforts of the various committees under the leadership of Wzxlter Nelson, decorating, Marie Millard, refreshf ment, Clement Oktanski, entertainment, Robert McCarthy, printing, Christian Roscnf bohm, check room. Thus ended our junior year at Manual, and we enjoyed a good rest before we came back to our last year of high school. Cn September 14, 1927, we came back to Manual after an enjoyable vacation. Cur last year of high school life had begun. As usual, we had an assembly on the day we arrived. By the end of the weck the regular routine of studies began to feel natural again and we were at home. Cn October 9, we elected our class officers. For our President we elected Michael Loukitus who has had the distinctive honor of being our class president for three years fwe had no organized class in our Freshman yearj. His continued reelection probably bespeaks his efficient work in louder tones than any words of praise which we may shower upon him, nevertheless, we feel that he should be commended for thc splendid Forty 1928 work and unstinting effort he has given to our class, and he should know that we appreciate it very much. The VicefPresident of our Senior Class was Louis Fauser, a boy who has worked hard for his class and for the school during his four years at Manual. Elizabeth Dries as secretary of our class has whole heartcdly given of her time and her fingers fmay I say?j in faithfully executing the obligations of her ofliee. Cur Treasurer, Robert McCarthy, was the young gentleman who had a checkf book continually in his hand for the paying of the bills of our class during the year. If that were all he had had to do, it would have been plenty, but that is not the case. Besides writing checks to pay for our bills he also wrote receipts for the money he collected from us. Indeed, he became so used to checks and receipts that he had no trouble at all in such matters. Miss Ebaugh was our faculty adviser, and it would be hard to find a better. As ever, she has worked zealously in the interest of our school, and she will probably continue to do the same long after we have left its shelter. The social life at Ivianual has been an outstanding feature in our school life, although we have not had many functions such as parties and other entertainments this last year except the regular Friday social held every fortnight. The Seniorfjunior Hop, given in honor of the Juniors, was the last social function for which the Seniors were responsible. This affair was held April 13, 1928, and was very successful. It seems that the Senior Class of 1927 and 1928 has been too busy for very much in the line of entertainment. There is one event, however, which is so outstanding that I must mention it. That was the juniorfSenior Prom sponsored by the juniors June 12, 1928, for the entertainment of the Senior Class. This was the last great social gathering which we Seniors attended and it ended the glorious times we have had the opportunity and good fortune to attend. It is perhaps needless to say that it was successful. Our school life is now nearly ended at Manual. During this last year we have found ourselves rather reluctant to see the days go by so swiftly, indeed, we have tried to get the utmost from each moment, each second of our time. The door of a new life was slowly opening for us, and we were hesitant about stepping over its threshold where we should have to look for ourselves, work for ourselves, and plan for our own salvation and future welfare. We have been hesitant over the idea of seeing the days spent at this school forever ended. There is one consolation, however, and that is the knowledge that we shall always be welcome to come back for visits. With this wc must be content. These have been a wonderful four years spent here at Manual, and these years have been years of progress. We have perhaps built castles in the air, but they were not bubbles-there for a moment, soon to vanish awayfbut something tangible, alive, and gripping, and they have held us rigidly to our purpose without relenting, those guardians--our ideals. forty one .f f17E'-Fin?

As Freshmen there were 354 enrolled. Mr. Russell appointed james Reid, James Cunningham, Mildred Harms, and Dorothy Reid to represent the Freshman class on the Student Council. We had some good athletes also, and, even though they were only subs on the teams, we were proud of them. Ernest Hanks and Kenneth Loer were on the basketf ball team. Jacob Hiner and Kenneth Locr were on the baseball team, while John Sanderson, Isaac Hunt, Ernest Hanks, and Kenneth Loer played on the football team. Cne year later found the usedftofbe Freshmen with an enrollment of 216. At the election in the spring of '26, joseph Shallatt, John Bouldin, Mildred Harms and James Cunningham were elected to the Council. About the middle of the year Lester Reichel and Dorothy Reid were elected to take the places of john Bouldin and Joseph Shallatt. The first meeting of the year was held October 18.

A finer class cannot be found anywhere! The class is well represented in all the organizations which Sophomores may join, and its members are justly proud of the fact that quite a number of lettermen and star players are Sophomores. Some of the boys who were the most prominent on the teams were Nevious Harms, Earl Peterson, and Herman Blotner. The manager this year was also a Sophomore, Harry Thayer. Another opportunity for the class to display some of its talent was given in the allfschool operetta. The leading part, that of a little gypsy maiden, was very beau' tifully taken by Ferne Hayes. To the Sophomore class goes the honor of having in its midst the boy who sold the most subscriptions in the United States, in the Curtis Publishing Company carnf paign, Donald Fales, This was a great honor to Manual, but a still greater honor to the Sophomore class. The capable executives of the class, who have been wonderfully guided by the class adviser, Miss Reinhard, are Lester Smith, presidentg Nevious Harms, vicefpresif dent, Ernest Bullock, secretary, and Herman Stolp, treasurer.

This is the way the two Freshmen cheerleaders, George Thompson and Billy Cressy, led their class of nearly five hundred students, and they certainly knew how to make that l'Yea, Manual ring out. One of our Freshmen, Fred Gaa, was appointed assistant to Harry Thayer, the manager of athletics. A number of the boys went out for basketball and football and made a good showing, LaVerne Tjarks playing on first squad in football, and Charles Wolgeinuth on Hrst team in basketball. The boys playing for the interclass basketball championship tied with the Seniors, a great honor. For this reason another game was played to determine the winners. l The Seniors won after a good game, with the Freshies close behind, The Freshmen girls are also interested in athletics. The Freshmen volleyball team won the championship by defeating the Seniors in the final game. The Freshman class is represented in the school orchestra, the band, in posters for school events and entertainments, and in art work for The lvlirrorf' Wherever there is an opening you will find several of the '31ers vieing for a chance to enter.

Highly praised and complimented by all who attended, the cast and chorus played both nights to capacity houses. The production was one of the most colorful ever staged at Ivlanual. Gay scenes of gypsy life and carnival time in the quaint old city of Vienna, combined with the bright costumes of the characters made a charming, romantic picture. The music of the orchestra, with Miss Folliott accompanying, added just the dash of harmony to blend with the scene. CAST OF CHARACTERS flI71 order of their first appearance!!

From the moment the curtain went up at eight o'elock until it went down on the dramatic ending of the 'kPot Boilerf' fun for all prevailed. THE VALIANT At exactly eight o'clock the curtain swung open to reveal the interior of a warden's room. Witli Elwood Sieks as Wardeia Holt, Gray Adamson as James Dyke, Ernest Koehler as Father Daly, Loretta Zweifel as Josephine Parrish, William Hoerr as Dan, Irwin Ball as the attendant, 'kThe Valiant afforded a very thrilling scene in a jail just before a murderer is to die for his crime. The climax, involving james Dyke, the convicted, came as a surprise to the audience. MANIKIN AND MINIKIN ulvlanikin and Ivlinikinn followed, a very clever little dialogue in which Steven Cornell as Ivlanikin and lvlarian Yates as Nlinilcin played the parts of two Colonial dolls seated one on either side of a huge clock. An argument between the two, as to whom Manikin loves, furnished the conversation. This play was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Fifty eight 1928 Trng Por Boiuaa Left to right: Jacob Lentz, Walter Nelson, Arline Terrell, Faye Luenz, Norwin Neff, Clarence Nash. Henry Ackerman, Fred Ericzon. THE PCT BCILER The final play, 'AThe Pot Boiler, was given with Fred Ericzon as Mr. Sud, Fae Luenz as Mrs. Pencil, Arlene Terrell as Miss Ivory, Norwin Neff as Mr. Ivory, Clarf ence Nash as Mr. Inkwell, Walter Nelson as Mr. Ruler, jacob Lentz as Mr. Wouldby, Henry Ackerman as a stage hand. Mr. Sud, the author, tries desperately to send his provoking cast through a dress rehearsal, and finally, at a crucial moment the guns clog. The author succeeds in making his gun work only to have the curtain close as the cast decide to use their guns on him. Manikin and Minikin and The Valiant were given under the capable direcf tion of Miss Hulsebus, while The Pot Boiler was coached by Mrs. Applegate, who is a talented dramatist. The Pot Boiler met with such great success that it was repeated at the Y. M. C. A. With the help of the Manual String Ensemble, the evening was considered well spent by those who attended the HifY's latest production. Mr. Landers, Miss Kirk' patrick, Miss Rosenbohm and Miss Chivington, with the student assistants, had charge of tickets, costumes, properties and music, and too much praise and credit cannot be given to them. The cast is to be congratulated on the evening's entertainment.

THE RQMANTI C AGE Cn the evening of March 30, the Senior Class of Manual presented 'LThe Rof mantic Age, a three act comedy written by A. A. Milne, to an enthusiastic audience. As its name implies, the play was of a different character from those given in past years, carrying the audience away from their everyday life to a land of romance. This year's play was coached by Miss Gretchen Hulsebus in a most admirable fashion, and the cast of seven is indeed to be complimented on their splendid acting, acquired only through long hours of intensive work. The stage crew and staff of assistants made possible the charming scenery and the other details which made the play an assured success. SYNCPSIS The setting of the play is in historic old England, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Knowles, who are very anxious that their daughter Melisande marry Bobby, a nice, dependable young Englishman. Melisande, though a modern girl, cares nothing for Bobby and the commonplace things of married life. She longs for the romance of olden days, when each knight carried off his lady love. Sixty 1928 I I Bobby, jane KKGETWESCX, Melisande jane, the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Knowles, and Bobby fall in love, and at the same time Melisande's dream comes true in the form of Gerwase, a modern young man whose car breaks down in front of the Knowles' home. He is on his way to 11 fancy dress ball and is dressed like a prince. He and Melisande fall in love, but Melisande's dream fades when she realizes that Gerwase is, after all, only a dependable young Englishman, However, the difliculties are straightened out and the play ends with Melisande reading a recipe for bread sauce.

E.. 1 928 sENioR BOYS' MINSTREL One of the outstanding features of the school year in the past has been the Senior Boys' Minstrel. This year has proved to be no exception to the established rule. Before a packed house, on the evening of April 27, the boys staged one of the clever' est, wittiest shows ever given at Manual. The first circle of the Minstrel disclosed Virgil Watts, Dean Callahan, Louis Fauser, Oliver Anderson, Guy Wilsterman, Walter Wright, Milton Litterst and William Guppy all cleverly made up as colored bell hops. Their sparkling red suits with the brass buttons made a fine contrast against a dark background. Then there was the Senior Boy's Quartet composed of Edwin Holland ftenorj, Fred Ericzon ftenorj, Crville Greenfield Cbassj, and Albert Kauffman fbassj. All these boys were arrayed in tuxedos and all were very handsome. The center man or Interlocutor was Robert McCarthy. To back up the front line, were about twenty' five members of the club selected as the chorus. All this action and jollity took place amid a scene of blossoming cotton fields. When fifty voices harmonized with peppy music, furnished by Harold Geef, and the beat of tambourines, handled by jolly end men, all against a background of the Old South, everyone had an evening of spicy entertainment. And that is just what the show afforded. Before the minstrel proper began, several clever playlets and farces were given by other members of the troupe. Albert Kauffman and Walter Nelson sent the audience into an uproar of laughter with the comedy, 'kDr. CutfCut. Next came Carl Kroepel and Arlo Wixson singing three popular pieces to the tune of Wixson's strumming banjo. They were roundly applauded by the cash cusf tomers. ln another playlet, Whose Money, Elwood Sieks, Clement Oktanski and Paul Engeman received the approbation of the audience in the form of vigorous hand clapping.

Sixty three ai V r- 'F nl' u ln Jffzirl' 7 HX -i if 7 ig 3 Y ? 1928 e WT-IOSE MONEY Cn Friday evening, April 27, in connection with the Minstrel Show, the Senior Boys presented a onefact play entitled HVJ hose Money. Elwood Sieks very capably filled the role of Henry Dell, whose only vice was laziness and whose only weakness was playing poker. At the rise of the curtain he was in a terrible predicament, having lost a sum of money to one of his friends while playing poker. His lack of money with which to pay his debts and his wife's flat refusal to loan him the money formed the plot of the play. The intricate role of Mrs. Dell was handled very masterfully by Paul Engeman, who can be complimented very highly on his ability to impersonate the feminine sex. Paul's slight stature and the manner in which he handled his lines brought down the house time after time. Clement Oktanski in the role of the burglar held the audience spellbound time and again. Because of the intricate action and the impersonation of the character together with the Bowery accent, we feel that Clement can be highly complimented on his role. V With the assistance of the burglar, whom Henry found trying to rob his safe, Henry was able to open the safe and get the necessary sum of money. After the burglar left, Henry discovered that he had taken all the money that was in the safe, but he was greatly relieved when he found it was only stage currency. Mrs, Dell changes Henry's fake bill, which the burglar gave him, and hc is able to pay his debt and to sit in on another card game because of the generosity of Mrs. Dell, when Henry remembers her birthday. This relieved Henry from his suspense and the audi' ence roared when he sang Everything ls Rosy Now. DOCTOR CUTfOUT The scene of a second short onefact play was the office of a colored doctor. A colored patient appeared and wanted to be examined, and then the fun began. The doctor tried his very best to find something the matter with him. The part of Doctor Cutfflut was taken by Walter Nelson. He brought down the house continually with the way he expressed his impatience with Gearshift. He also showed his fine ability as a doctor. The part of Gearshift Jones, the patient, was taken by Al Kaufman. He kept the audience in a hilarious mood throughout the play, when he 'showed how dumb he really was by the answers he gave to the doctoris questions. He also ran up against some trouble when he threw on an electric switch. Those that saw the play appreciated it to the very highest point.

The past year it has proved very successful and is said to have heen the hest orchestra ever to play at social hours. The group of peppy syncopators who furnished the dance music throughout the year is made up entirely of school students. The social hours, which come every other Friday, permit the students to heeome hetter acquainted with each other, They create a finer spirit among the students. They give many students, who have the desire, an opportunity to learn to dance. Miss Kincaid, who is adviser of the orchestra, and Mrs. Headley, Miss Reinhard, Mr, Landers and Mr. Harding are to he commended for their untiring efforts to make the social affairs successful, and much credit is due the orchestra as a whole for the splendid manner in which they performed and for the time they gave for the enjoyf inent of their fellow students. The Social Hour Orchestra has played for eighteen social hours, and has also heen called upon to play at the Art Cluh dance, the HifY hanquet, and for other im' portant occasions. ' The mcmhers of the orchestra wish to thank the school for furnishing them with the latest and hest orchestrations. Ella Garrett, who plays the piano, is director of the orchestra which is composed of the following memhers: Wzilter Eichenherger, drums: Harold Reuter, Lewin Elliott and Charles Day, saxophonesg Arlo Wixsnnii, hanjog Edwin Holland, susaphoneg George Kelly and Wzilter Swardenski, cornets: and Lester Smith, tromhone.

The gym was gayly decorated for this occasion, and the main attraction of the evening was dancing, in which everyone joined. The music was so enticing that even our august faculty members trod a few measures. A threefpiece orchestra furnished the music, another novelty which the Seniors took pride in introducing. After a period of dancing, refreshments were served in the cafeteria in a charming and efficient man' ner by, the Senior girls, The members of the football team, junior class officers, and members of the faculty were the honored guests of the evening. SENIOR GIRLS' KID PARTY Following apron and hair ribbon day, February ZS, the Senior girls attended a Skid party in the girls' gymnasium after school. The fun began as each received a balloon and sucker at the door. Upon entering the girls thought they were at a carnival instead of a party. Imagine a Senior girl trying to keep a balloon whistling and to eat a sucker at the same time, to say nothing of keeping her balance so that her hair ribbon would stay in place. It was a real f'kid party with games led by Eva Levin. Some were a little out of practice at udrop the handkerchief, 'Ego in and out the window, etc., and took a few tumbles. No one was seriously hurt, however, so it was all part of the fun. There was a prize offered for the best dressed kid, so in order to determine who was the best all lined up for the parade. Elsie Coward was the chosen kid, and the unappropriate gift for her was a very pretty vanity case. She will undoubtf edly have to lay it aside a few years until she is older. Another contest was the one of missing letters. This was enjoyed by all the girls, and brought them down a notch when they found they didn't know everything. The one getting all the words correct first was awarded some chocolates. The one who displayed the most knowledge in the shortest length of time was Hazel Wciod. The girls were entertained by Florence Gallagher, dressed up as a Dutch girl. Her first Dutch reading was enjoyed so much that she gave another equally as good. Anna Mohn and Mabel Herman displayed their talent as toe dancers. Rubi Hopkins danced a udoll dance which was also enjoyed by the girls. Some good vocal music was given by Katherine Kellar and Miiriel Johnson. After all this, some of the girls still felt gay, so worked off their energy by dancing. Because no eating is allowed in the gymnasium, the refreshments were served as the guests went out and were taken home with them, What kind of refreshments could be carried home, anyway? Surely no one would expect to carry ice cream in his pocket, for that would be too messy for kids. As the girls filed out the door, each was presented with a box of animal crackers, another sucker, and one more balloon. Qf course, the kids didn't eat the balloons, or not all of them anyway, as some of them could be heard in the halls between classes for days afterward.

STRING ENSEMBLE From the advanced orchestra, five players were selected last year to play in a string ensemble, organized by Miss Chivington. This ensemble has completed its second successful year, and has been recognized as a promising new musical organizaf tion of the city of Peoria, as well as of Manual Training High School. This ensemble has had numerous engagements this year, among them: Manual assemblies, WOm611lS City club annual banquet, HifY play at Manual, Student De- partment of the Amateur Musical club, P. T. A. at Blaine School, Lion's club at the Jefferson Hotel, special music for an evening service at Howett Street Christian Church, Mothers' club at Lincoln School, Central Illinois Teachers' Convention at P. H. S., Advertising club at Block Er?

They ' . , . , ' C1 wanted the boys to feel that their teachers as well as their fellowfstudcnts appreciate what they had done for their school. This idea took shape and resulted in a dinner at the Creve Coeur Club on December 10, 1927. Seated at the tables on the mezf B d t l zanine balcony were thirtyfsix team boys, Coach Wilford, several of the most evo.ec students, members of the faculty, and guests including Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Fisher and Mrs. Wilford. After a turkey dinner, Lee Streibich acted as toastmaster and called on Mr. Wilf ford, Mr. Fisher, Captain Peake, and the 1928 captain, John Sanderson, who expressed in various ways their impressions of the football season, and of the Thanksgiving game in particular. It was a happy occasion and helped to cement the feeling of comradef ship that exists between faculty and students. ATHLETIC BANQUET In honor of her athletic heroes Manual gave the Athletic Banquet of 1923 on Saturday evening, April 14. It was held in the Manual cafeteria, w ici was very c ' y center of each table, on long stems, were balloons either in the form of a basketabll f ' ' 11 b. fb ll. or football. On each nut cup was an ornamental basketball, footba , or asc a kers' table. On the lights were long h'l leveil decorated. In the Large ferns decorated the entrance behind the spea streamers of blue and gold crepe paper, The first number on the program, as announced by the toastmastcr, Fred Eriezon, was a vocal solo by Mrs. XVilford, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Randall. The Letf termen's Double Quartette favored us with several selections. Loretta Zweifel gave a ' ' ' ' ' ' O ' 'h Mr. ver ins 1r1ng talk on behalf of the G. A. A. and the girls of today. ur eoac , Y P Wilford talked to us about his appreciation of the cooperatoin of both teams and d t We also had a few words from Mr Ingram, Coach of Athletics at Chicago Stu en s. ' . L Y. M. C. A. College, Mr. J. P. Wilke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Streibich. Robert Lindberg, a loyal former Manualite and booster, roused the old Manual spirit by leading the audience in many cheery songs. After much merryfmaking the Brodbeck Brothers entertained with some very snappy numbers. Louis Fauser led us in some cheers, and then the floor was cleared for dancing. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY BANQUET The most outstanding event of the year was the fourth annual banquet of the National Honor Society of Manual, held at the University Club, May 1, 1928. The object of this banquet was to initiate the new members into the Society, and to impress them with the real purpose and significance of the National Honor Society. The dedication was formal and in every detail very much in keeping with the high ideals of the organization. Everyone present was deeply impressed with the ' ' ' h bers. seriousness of the honor and responsibility being placed upon t e new mem Sixty eight 1928 The dining room was beautifully decorated in blue and gold, the colors of the Society. The blue of the sky betokens Truth. The gold of the sun signifies the lightf ing of the torches which are to be kept burning forever. The torchfbearer, the colorfbearer and the wardens placed before the new mem' bers the purposes and ideals of the Society with a very impressive ceremony, followed by a program in which a speech of welcome was given by Theodore Baer, president of the Society, with Elsie Coward responding. This was followed by a short musical program. Miss Rabold told a story to illustrate the high standards of the Society after which Mr. Russell talked deeply on the purposes and high ideals every member of the National Honor Society should always keep before him as his ideals of life. COLONIAL DANCE The girls' gymnasium decorated in red, white and blue, revealed the scene of a Colonial dance on the afternoon of February 21, 1928. Several fair maids of Manual entertained the guests with the Virginia Reel and other Colonial dances. Unlike the regular social hours, a delicious beverage of grape flavored punch was served throughout the entire hour and a half of dancing. The social hour orchestra furnished the spicy music for the many student merryfmakers. Various colored bal' loons, caps, and other novelties were eagerly sought for. This dance could easily be called a student mixer, as many new acquaintances were made. The newly formed Art club was responsible for this affair. The proceeds of this dance went to swell the fund to purchase an original painting for Manual, to be chosen from Donald Witherstine's beautiful display of oil work. This dance was the Hrst of its kind ever given at Manual, but many others are being looked forward to. ALUMNI CARNIVAL Right this way, please, to win a box of candy, only five cents a chance, three chances to win a kewpie doll, right this way for the novelties, etc., were only a few of the loud shouts heard from the booths at the Manual Alumni Carnival held in the school gymnasiums on the evening of April 20,1928 Side shows such as the Chamber of Horrors, Fortune Telling, and several other money making contrivf ances were the main attraction in the boys' gymnasium, while in the girls' gym was an altogether different scene. This gym, cleverly decorated in all the bright colors, was the scene of the car' nival dance with the merryfmakers trodding to the tune of Ray Dixon's orchestra. The noise makers, caps, confetti and many other novelties added to the effect of carnival life. The committees in charge of the carnival worked diligently to make it a success and are to be commended for their untiring efforts. The Carnival was held for the benefit of the Ixlanual Alumni Scholarship Fund. Sixty nine 0? I f'l77'?? .v 1 sf ,-l- 1928 1?-i PI X of 'S -1: .1 ' R 1151?

Moonlight dancing was the main feature of the evening's entertainment. Gay were the colors as each lightfhearted and happy couple flashed by the changing lights. Wheii the dancing was at its peak, and as everyone felt the need of cooling refreshf ments, all were called to the cafeteria where delicious ice cream and cake were served. The cafeteria was cleverly decorated in blue and gold and pink, as was the gym. The committee responsible for this was under the direction of Walter Nelson. Chair' men of the other committees were entertainment, Mason Slonneger, refreshment, Lillian Wilke. Miss Kincaid was the chaperone. Everyone who attended this affair had a wonderful evening, and it was a tired but happy crowd that departed from another successful social gathering.

It was a huge success, and the graduating class greatly appreciated this last farewell. The boys' gymnasium looked very much like a fairyland ballroom with crepe paper in all the new spring shades forming the walls and ceiling of this fairyflike palace. Moonlight dancing was the feature of the evening. During the evening ice cream and cake were served. The chairmen of the various committees who spent much time in making this farewell party a success were: Program committee, joseph Platteg Decorating commitf tee, Harrington Underhill, Ticket committee, Harold Ceefg Refreshment committee, Wilma Evans. The music was furnished by Paul Mehlenbeck's Orchestra. Seventy one it 1 2 1 ' - .N 'N S x. J 'x X 2 I 928 VAUDEVILLE SUPERIEUR On the afternoon of April 23, the French department distinguished itself by pref senting a miscellaneous program before an enthusiastic audience of students and teachf ers. A French atmosphere was created without boring the audience with unintellif gible entertainment. Eight girls sang La Marseillaise, Ma Normandie and C'est la Mere Micliel with excellent diction. Florence Koch gave Macbeth a la mode, a French girl's version of Shakespeare in dialect. A unique presentation was afforded by Grace Van Norman who drew caricatures of prominent faculty members to the amusement of everyone. There were three dramatizations of records played on the electrola sent by the courtesy of Block fe? Kuhl Co. The Barcarolle from Contes D' Hoffman danced by eight girls in white with varicolored yarn balls provoked much favorable comment. Vying with the girls were a group of boys who enacted the Volga Boatman with surprising realism. Rubi Hopkins' dancing of Ramona proved a very popular number. Emma Turner sang Clmrmaine and Bon four, Ma belle to the delight of her lisf teners, while Orville Greenfield favored them with a vocal solo entitled Invictus. The account would not be complete without mentioning a beautiful clarinet solo by Rowena Higgins, and the closing number, a French doll dance, by Florence White and Lillian Wolschlag provided a comical conclusion to the entertainment. SENIOR GIRLS' MATINEE DANCE The Senior girls introduced something quite novel and exciting into the society program of the school this year. This was the Matinee Dance, given in the girls' gymnasium on May ll, sponsored by the Senior Girls' Club. The gymnasium was gayly decorated for the occasion with varied hues of crepe paper streamers, and the orchestra took its place on a cunning platform especially provided for that purpose, There was a record crowd in attendance, due probably to the snappy dance tunes provided by Tedigeef's Orchestra. Prizes were given to the best dancers among those attending, one to a boy, and the other to a girl. The committee who had charge of the Matinee Dance were: Leola Gardiner, Milf dred Roth, Rubi Hopkins, Hazel Wood, Hilda Tornedde, Minnie Stege, Bertha Brand, Lillian Wilke, Faye Shoemaker, Alice Wake. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY One of the most colorful events of the year was the Sophomore Class party, held on the evening of May 18, in the girls' gymnasium. There was dancing all evening, the music being furnished by a snappy orchestra. Dainty refreshments were served and everyone was delighted with the unique favors. The huge success of the party was due entirely to the cooperation of the several committees in charge, the class ofhcers, and Miss Reinhard, the faculty adviser.

STUDENT CCUNCIL No Student Council could have been more progressive and meritorious in achievf ing its goal than the Student cooperative Council of Ivianual for the year 192728, under the remarkable leadership of the Mayor, Jacob Lentz. With this should be ref membered the efficient work of the secretary and treasurer, Michael Loukitus and Lester Reichel. The work of the adviser, Mr. Hunter, is evident in the council's accom' plishment in every avenue of the school's work. The most remarkable achievements of the Student Council throughout the year were: unselfish contribution to the East Peoria flood sufferers, continuation of exempf tion from final examinations to all those having an average of 8501 or above, adoption of the introduction cards and the handbooks, the memorable services of the Social Welf fare Committee, the successful conduction of the Lost and Found Department, the installation of fountain pen inkwells in the study halls, and the introduction of a pre' dominating spirit of the social hours. A number of other minor tasks fconsidered so only in contrast to the year's workj are: the important work of the book exchange, the increasing of interest in interfclass athletics, the installation of the lecture course, the successful discipline of stairfguards, the selling of Christmas seals, the task of collecting and distributing Christmas baskets to the poor, correspondence carried on with other schools, the attempt to create interest in a trophy case and ticket booth, and the sue' Seventy four 1928 cessful work in our halls and corridors. Such are the extensive tasks the Student Council has undertaken and completed with marked success.

The girls have had as their theme this year Trees Again, as in every year, the Christmas Vesper stood out as the loveliest service. Many of the girls went every Wednesday to the Neighborhood House to do service work. The 4fC campaign sponsored by the B. T. C. and HifY was successful as always. The drive for the new Y. W. C. A, was greatly helped by the B. T. C. The three teams into which the members were divided secured a total of 3398.30 in pledges as follows: Margaret De Vries, leader, 359080, Minnie Trendle, leader, 3137.503 Carol Swanson, leader, 5170.00 A delightful play was given, and the proceeds used to send a member of the club to summer conference. Besides all these accomplishments many enjoyable meetings, parties, luncheons, etc., were held, both as a club and with allied organizations. The club wishes to thank Miss Imogene Ebaugh, Miss Rosenbohm, and the cabinet for their helpfulness. It is the sincere hope of the club that this organization, which has meant so much to many girls, will continue to do so in the future. OFFICERS President .s..... ............. ........

Miss ROSENBOHM Seventy six - 1928 HLY CLUB The HifY club of Manual Training High School, under the leadership of Louis Fauser, has had a most successful year. The Manual HifY is indeed a wonderful outf growth of the small group that organized in 1921. The wide range of its activities is ample proof of its rapid strides forward. It did much to promote the platform of the -1 C's, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Sports, and Clean Habits, and to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high ideals of Christian character. At the beginning of the year, three onefact plays were presented. They conf stituted an evening of real entertainment. The eighth annual 4 C's campaign was carried on jointly by the B. T. C. and the HifY. It was indeed a most worthy venture and extended from March 21 to March 28. Other activities are as follows: the Manual HifY boys were guests at a Central Illinois HifY Rally at Normal, many joint HifY meetings were held during the year, one with Chillicothe and Pekin, the HifY took part in the Annual Y. M. C. A. banquet, it promoted the Find Yourself Campaign, and it had two lively soeials. The work of the first semester with Mr. Hunter formed an important part of the year's activities. Mr. Hardin, a new teacher at Manual, succeeded Mr. Hunter and ably carried on the work of his predecessor. Bob Lindberg, Boys' Wmnrk Secretary at the Y. M. C. A., also cannot be forgotten Cther officers who enjoyed the success of the club were: Mason Slonneger, vice' president, and Jacob Lentz, secretary. The club sincerely wishes Lester Reichel, president for 192829, success in guiding the destinies of the club. Seventy seven ,77 j?'3f.':3 J x. tl R. K.

It brings together students who are lovers of 'literatureg it creates in them an interest in things of real literary valueg it furnishes a means of student literary expression. The October meeting was a short one held for the purpose of reorganizing. The November topic for discussion was Magazines, an interesting one as was proved. The Christmas program, made eerily lovely by candleflight, brought the realization of the truth of the statement that 'RA thing of beauty is a joy forever. Cther topics were: January, Interesting Events in the Lives of Great Meng February, Folklore, March, Essaysg April, Novel Reports, May, Student Productions. Literary club members feel that they will remember the meetings as wholly def lightful and satisfying.

The members enjoyed seven short onefact plays which were given at the monthly meetings of the club. Some of the outstanding plays were The Crystal Ga:er, The Pipe of Peace, and The Ghost Story. The first party ever given by the Dramatic club was held this year in the girls' gymnasium and was well attended. ' The Christmas program, entitled The First Christmas, was also given by the Dramatic club. Those taking part in this program were Zelma Rennick, Edward Sieks, Elizabeth Balsinger, Mzlbel Harren, Lyle Collins, Sylvester Darling, Waltei' Nelson, and Betty Dries. The club also took charge of the mass meeting before one of the Spalding games. At Christmas time mints were sold to raise money to furnish a basket for a needy family. The proceeds that were left from these mints after the family had been prof vided for were donated to the Y. W. C. A, campaign. Much of the success of the Dramatic club is due to the very capable faculty adviser, Miss Kirkpatrick.

At one of these meetings Miss Lester, Supervisor of Art in Peoria Puhlic Schools, talked on the greatest paintings and statues hy the masters of art. She also showed slides of these pictures and statues. At another of these meetings Miss Ruth Fahnestock, of St. Louis, talked on the effect of light on color. She illustrated her talk with different lights on different scenes showing that the effect may he changed altogether. At the March meeting, Donald Witherstiiie, noted Peoria painter, talked on his trip to and through France. He also described some of his own pictures. Through the year 192728 several sales were held hy the Art eluh, at Christmas, a sale of Christmas cards and mottoes, and at Easter, a sale or glorified glass. The money received at these sales was put into the treasury for the purchase of the oil painting. Once during the year the cluh put on a movie which was not only a diver' sion for the school, but also another way of raising money. In honor of VJashington's hirthday, a Colonial dance was held with the Art cluh in charge. All of these things contrihuted greatly to thc fund for the purchase ol' an original oil painting.

DER DE UTSCHE VEREIN The German club was newly organized at the beginning of the last semester by members of the German classes. As this is the first year that German has been taught at Manual since before the war, the club is composed entirely of first year students. When a suggestion was made to organize a club, it was readily accepted. Therefore, a meeting was called and officers were elected. At the first meeting, a committee of five was selected by the president to draw up the constitution. The aim is to study the ways, customs, and conditions of Germany and her people as they now stand, and to enable the students to become more proficient in the German language. The meetings were held the Hrst Thursday of each school month during fifth hour. Keen interest was shown in all meetings, and the club has been successful in its few undertakings.

Although they didn't win either debate with Pekin, Ivfanual had teams that were as strong as former teams. The atlirmative team was composed of Clement Qlttanslci, Edwin Danzeiser, and Fred Ericzon, captain. They met Pelcin's negative team on April 5 in the Manual Audi' torium. The negative team composed of Elwood Sieks, Robert IVIeCarthy, and Jacob Lentz, captain, met Pekiifs aflirmative team at Pekin. Both debates were hard fought arlairs, being lost by only very slight margins. This year there were two alternates, John Bouldin and Eugene Leiter. As in previous years, all who met the requirements of being on the regular team for at least one year were eligible to be pledged to Delta Sigma Mu, lV1anual's honorary debating society. The new members to be initiated include all except Fred Ericzon and Jacob Lentz, who made the society last year. Incidentally, jacob Lentz is the only debater who has attended lvlanual who has been an actual participant in debating for three consecutive years. Miss Ebaugh worked most successfully with the teams and her efforts were greatly appreciated. Eighty eight 1028 Lelit to right: Mr. Blackman fadxiserj.

The organization has now grown to approximately two thousand and is one of the biggest and best of its kind. The undertakings of the association have been very successful and we hope those in the future will far surpass the achievements of previous years. The two big events of the year which all real Manualites look forward to are the Annual Carnival and the Alumni Banquet. The 1928 Carnival was a huge success nnancially and socially, with all its stunts, shows and booths of every description which all go with a carnival. In addition to the carnival several dances as well as other social functions were held during the past year. These all helped to boost the Manual Alumni Scholarship Fund by several hundred dollars. A scholarship to Bradley College is given each year to some member of the Senior Class. Little need be said about the banquet which is more or less a faniliy reunion when all the old grads return to welcome in the new members from the outgoing class. The Alumni Scholarship is indeed a very fine thing for the members of each Senior Class to look forward to. Although every Senior cannot win this scholarship, it is something worth striving to win. Ninety 1928 March 30, 1926, the officers and trustees set aside the sum of 5300.00 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a Manual Alumni Scholarship Fund. The following will show the growth of that fund: Original amount set aside March 30, 1926 ..... ---S Gift from Manual fTournament Fundj ---- -- Gift from Senior Class of 1926 --------- - Gift from Senior Girls' Club, 1926---..

THE MANUAL Qur school newspaper, THE MANUAL, in its third year of existence was changed from a four page bifweekly to an eight page bifweekly at the heginning of the year, During the past school term the staff has puhlished a paper every other Tuesday and two extra issues. The first extra appeared at Thanksgiving time when our foot' hall team was victorious over Peoria Central, and the second was a free issue pu: out at the heginning of the new year urging the student body to give THE MANUAL its full support. Early in April the eight page hifweekly hecaine a four page weekly. THE MANUAL is not only a record of school activities, hut also a publisher of upftofdate announcements. Its staff consists of members from each of the four classes, so that it prints the activities of the entire school. Financially the paper was as successful as it was editorially and aided materially in the financing of the year book. This year's Manual staff is proud of the success which it has attained with Miss Houck and Mr. Landers as its advisers. In keeping with former customs, Miss Houck has given her last year of service to the paper, and Miss Rosenhohm has heen appointed to take up her duties as faculty adviser for the ensuing year.

The staff of 1926 thought they would like to have a different name for their annual, and decided to hold a contest, open to the entire student hody, for selecting an appropriate name for the year hook. Several line suggestions were offered and THE NIIRROR, suhmitted hy Miss Anna Bullock of the class of '27, was finally chosen. The first two volumes of 'XTHE IVIIRRORH were very line numhers, and it was the ohject of the annual statf this year to puhlish a hook that would far surpass any other put out at Ivlanual. As you will notiee, the contents of this hook are somewhat different. The Oriental art motif is one that has never heen tried hy a previous staff. The arrangement ol' the Faculty, Senior, and ollieer panels with the Oriental horder is also a new feature.

Miss Houck has been adviser of The Manual since it was changed from a magazine to a news' paper three years ago, helping it through its early stages of development. In her three years of service the paper has grown from a four page bifweekly to an eight page bifweekly and, this year, to a four page weekly. She has also willingly advised the year book staff for the same three years. The Mirror X of 1928 is the last annual to be supervised by our l friendly and eflicient teacher. Miss Houck has been a most reliable, capable, and willing worker, and, although the publication staffs feel a great loss, the members wish her as much success in her later efforts as she has had with them. MR. LANDERS Mr. Landers came to Manual in September, 1926. In addition to teaching classes in algebra and commercial arithmetic, he has taken an active part in the extrafcurricular activities of the school. Graduating from Bradley in 1925, he did not take up teaching immediately, but spent a year in commercial work. At Bradley he majored in Com' merce and received a B. S. degree. As a student, he was very active in athletics, debating, and dramatics, receiving his B in baseball and a Pi Kappa Delta key in debating. This year, Mr. Landers was business advsier of Manual's student publications, a post formerly filled by Mr. Kemp. He also coached the Freshman basf ketball team which won second place in the inter' class tournament last winter. This spring, he coached the Freshman baseball team, and was appointed to coach the varsity baseball team, a position once held by Mr. Vertrees, and last year by Mr. Brew.

NVILFORD Three years ago Coach Robert N. Wilfcmrd came to this school to take over the coaching reins. Coach Wilfcurd came highly recommended. His football team the first year almost accomplished what no other team in nine long years had-beat Peoria Central. Manual lost this game by a 13 to 7 score. His basketball and track teams came up with the best. Last year 11926, his team didn't beat Central, and still Central didn't beat us. The score of this game was 12 to 12. This year 119271 his football team downed Peoria Central by a 4 to O count. His basketball KCLUHS have given good accounts of themselves. Coach Wilford undoubtedly knows athletics, and he knows how to show the boys what he is talking about. He also has a very pleasing personality which goes a long way in creating coniidence in him. Coach Wilfcurd is a clean cut and highly respected man not only at Mzinual, but with everyone who knows him. Ninety nine !.17T'g,f.':5 is ,..s C, 1 ,fi 'if ii ff .X 7 ,I 4 - 1 1928 .- ,,.. .

This body is composed of four faculty members, one of whom is the coach, appointed by the principal, three representatives from the Seniors, two from the Juniors, one from the Sophomores, and one from the Freshmen. These student members are elected annually by the three upper classes. The Freshman is an appointee. The Board meets once a month to transact business. All bills for and expenditures of money earned by our teams are passed on. Details of the management of games and tournaments, the awarding of letters and emblems, etc., are their duties. The interests of the school, the teams, and the coach are the chief consideration of this Board, and their primary purpose is to promote clean athletics at Manual. The oliicers of this Board are a chairman, secretary, and financial manager. For carrying on the work, the Board appoints a committee to take charge of massmeetings, an athletic manager, and his assistant, and one or more cheerleaders. Any other officers necessary to H11 special needs in the conduct of athletics are selected and approved by this body. One hundred Football 1927 CAPTAIN GEORGE PEAKE Captain George Peake, full back, was the main cog of the Manual offense in every game. He could pass, punt, or carry the ball with equal ability, but spent most of his time in skirting the ends. Peakie was also a demon on the defense. He did some wonderful work backing up the line. If the opponents happened to open a hole in Manual's forward wall, George was right there to fill it. One hundred one ? .jj Qhmae I .QQ- J ff 1928 JOHN HSANDYH SANDERSON Captainfelect Sanderson played a halfback position. Sandy hit the line hard and was second only to Neve in punting. john should make a capable captain and everyone wishes him success next year. HAROLD WELIJIN Harold Weldiii is probably the best center that Manual has ever turned Out, playf ing regularly for. two years. As a Junior his work was impressive, but in his Senior b year his playing was remarkable. He was chosen center on Rocke WOlf's all state team, an honor which has never before been bestowed upon a Ivianual athlete. Weldiii undoubtedly blocked more punts and intercepted more passes than any other center in the tate. ,, ,, S HAROLD BOOT112 EISELE Harold Eisele, the big six footer, played left end. He could easily reach above everybody else's head to snag passes. Bootie was also a menace to opposing backs who tried to lope around his end. CARL HPEE WEE KROEPEL Carl Kroepel played quarterback. LPee Wee, although the lightest man on the squad, did some fine work for Ivlanual. He was never at a loss as to what play to call. His bullet passes gained many yards for Maiiual. EDWIN HOLLAND Edwin Holland, a Senior, played a tackle birth. He will be remembered for the many times he broke through Central's forward wall to throw the Maroon backs for l . H OSS HAROLD PRATT Harold Pratt played three years at guard. Harold was not an individual star but was always in the game fighting hard. One hundred two 1928 QRRIN STAUFFER Orrin Stauffer was another guard. He, like Pratt, was also giving his best to the team. Seldom if ever did Orrin fail to open a hole in the opposing line for the backs to slip through. NEXVIKJUS Nevis HARMS h lf' N ious Harms, uthe blushing Sophomore as he was known, held down a a ev back position. Neve's punting was outstanding. It was not an uncommon thing for him to punt 50 or 60 yards. With two more years experience Neve should make a valuable player. GEORGE SCHAEFER George Schaefer, right end, weighed less than 130 pounds, but he usually stopped everything that came his way. George was on the receiving end of that famous . . . . A I 1 Kroepel to Schaefer pass combination which gained many yards for Manua. ERNEST HREDH HANKS oth tackle and end. Red is a Junior and earned his second letter in football. Red specialized in breaking through the opponent's line and stopping the backs before they could get started. Ernest Hanks, the Hanna City youth, played b jACoB JAKE HINER Jacob Hiner was sub quarterback. jake earned his letter in the Central game when Kroepel became injured. He could pass the oval like a baseball. EARL PETERSON Earl Peterson was a tackle. Although handicapped by an injured ankle, which he received in the first ga me at Canton, he played a dandy game.

FIRST GAME A VICTORY Coach Wilfcurd's Orange and Black grid warriors journeyed to Canton, September 24, to open the 1927 football season. The lineup consisted of a number of inexpef rienced men, but the droved to be football ila ers and emer ed victorious, I-PO, A Y l l Y g ass, Kroe nel to Schaefer, netted the first touchdown. Harms, la in his first hi h P I P Y g g school game, scored another marker in the third quarter. A pass, Kroepel to Schaefer, and a dropkick by Reichel netted the extra points after the touchdowns. MANUAL, 26, NORMAL, O Manuals boys showed the home fans some classy football in their game with Normal, October I, on Manual field. The main feature of the game was an eightyf yard run by Neve Harms, Sophomore halfback, after scooping up a Normal fumble. A few minutes later Harms dashed around left end for another marker, Touchdowns by Reichel and Sanderson, and a Normal safety made the score 26fO in Manuals favor. Normal was allowed only two first downs. WHIP JACKSGNVILLE IN BIG TWELVE GAME The Orange and Black gridders continued their rampage by trouncing Jacksonf ville, October 8, to the tune of 34fO. Captain George Peake was the main cog in both offense and defense. He scored a touchdown before the Normalites knew what it was all about. Kroepel twice crossed the goal line while Emans intercepted a pass and Ons Ii undred four 1928 galloped 60 yards to a touchdown. The work of Weldin, Stauffer, and Pratt was very spectacular. TIE WITH LINCOLN At Lincoln, October li, Manual met a team that later copped the Big Twelve championship and held them to a scoreless tie. Both teams played smart football, but the work of Harold Weldin, Manual center, was outstanding. Time and time again he broke through Lincoln's line to block a punt or throw Lincoln backs for a loss. THE IRISH ARE HUMBLED BY MANUAL Spalding was no exception, and on October 21, they met the same defeat that other invading teams had met. Neve Harms showed his stuff by snagging several passes, running 50 yards, and crossing Spalding's line for a touchdown. Kroepel also went across for a touchdown. The game ended 12fO. l'They shall not pass, was the battle cry of our team this past season. Now for the Celestial city. WHAT HAPPENED? In the last few minutes of play we were forced to take the small end of a score from Pekin on November 5, the first time this year. Hard luck, Manual. Nuff said! But wait, Manual, here come our friends. MANUAL ROMPS OVER DANVILLE Well, we took a journey to Danville Armistice Day to play Danville, who proved to be in anything but a peaceful mood. With Weldin blocking punts as usual, we held Danville scoreless and crossed their line three times to beat them, 18f0. Now we are ready to face our annual rival, Peoria Central, and they will, without doubt, meet the same fate as the others did. EXTRA! EXTRA! MANUAL, 4, PEORIA CENTRAL, 0 Guess we did it, didn't we? Revenge is sweet after eleven years of defeat. We showed P. H. S. they couldn't get across with the ball. Throughout the game we kept the pigskin in Central's territory. Buck tried a punt but Weldin blocked it. Buck then fell on the ball back of the goal line to give us a safety. Central tried another punt, which was neatly nailed by Ham. Central covered the ball, giving Manual a second pair of markers. We were leading 4fO at the half. In the last half we failed to score but came close to several touchdowns. At the end of the last quarter Central came out four points minus. We must give credit to P. H. S. for their fighting spirit.

No high school could boast of a better defensive combination than Ham and Fatso. Because of his ability to hit the hoop, Harold was shifted to a forward position. g'Ham led the Manual scoring column for two years, and also shared in th t' h d fx r ' ' e ig t e ense always presented by Manual teams. One lumdred seven 'J'rJ,r'PiE f 1- E -..,s 4. ff ll LA N .gzgqxi 1928 HAROLD WBOOTIEN EISELE Eisele came to Manual in his junior year. His first appearance on the basketball floor proved his ability as a basketeer, but he lacked experience. However, before the season was half over Eisele was playing center for Manual. 'kBootie'l stands well over six feet and surely is a fighter. He would jump center and then drop back to guard. SCL MCSCCVE Moscove is one of the few fellows to earn four letters in any one varsity sport. Scully never missed a shot under the basket and could also sink 'em from well out on the court. Probably no high school player in the State can equal Sol's ability to dribble. He was also a demon on the defense. CARL BUD KROEPEL Carl Kroepel, small though mighty, held down a forward position for three years. Carl could hit the basket as often as anyone, but it was his neat floor work that was so noticeable. His clever passing made possible many points credited to his team mates. Bud often made some of his giant opponents look sick by his tight def fensive work. ERNEST MREDM HANKS Captainfelect The scarlet headed youth from Hanna City, better known as l'Red Hanks, was an outstanding cog in MH11UHl,S smooth running 1928 machine. Hankie, playing a guard position, did some mighty fine work in holding down the enemy score. CHARLES WOLGEMLTTH 'LChuck represented the Freshman class on this year's quintet. During the time which Kroepel spent in the hospital L'Chuck fitted into his place like a veteran. Charles will make Coach Wilford a valuable man in future years. One llundved eight 1928 JAY EMANS Emans, a Senior, earned his first letter in basketball this year, playing a guard position. Jay was not a regular, but made the members of the first team keep jump' ing to hold their places. He possessed a keen eye for the hoop, and was also a great help on the defense. NEVIOUS HARMS Neve Harms, a Sophomore, played either as guard or forward. He has some fine ability and should, with another ycar's experience, win a name for himself.

MOUNT PULASKI Coach Wilford's Orange and Black basket tossers opened the season with a bang by defeating Mt. Pulaski on our own floor, 4246, December 16. TOULON The Manual veterans were too much for the Toulon tossers to handle on Decemf ber 21, so Coach Wilford gave his subs a chance to play. This made no difference, however, and Manual came home with a victory, 3943. STREATOR TOURNAMENT Manual's team was invited to Streator to spend part of the Christmas vacation playing basketball. They met Wheaton, December 29, in their first game and showed the other entrants some classy basketball. Wheaton was completely outplayed and lost 3842. By defeating Wheaton our boys earned the right to play Froebel High of Gary, Indiana. Froebel had played poorly in their first game and Manual was favored to cop. Coach Wilford's boys lived up to all expectations for the first five or ten minutes and led 2fO. Froebel then started to throw the hall through the hoop from all angles and completely wrecked the Manual machine. The final score was 3143 in favor of Froebel. One hundred ten 1928 SPALDING After another week's drill the team was hitting its stride again and trounced Spalding 28f20, January 6, in a struggle which could easily be called a football game. CHILLICOTHE After having put the skids under Spalding, Coach Wilford's Orange and Black tossers journeyed to Chillicothe and handed them a crushing 43f16 defeat on january 7. CENTRAL ' Friday the thirteenth proved disastrous to our basketball team when we lost to Central in the first struggle at the Armory, January 13. In their efforts to guard Capt. Soper of Central, the Nlanual boys fouled him often. Eleven free throws were made by Central. The final score stood: Central, 19, Manual, 9. CANTON By a brilliant last minute rally the Orange and Black basketeers won a hard fought hattle from Canton High in the Canton Gym, january 14, 13f15. With less than a minute left to play, Kroepel grabbeda neat pass from Weldin under the basket and sunk it to put his mates in the lead, 16f15. Mosccive then dribbled half the length of the floor to sink another and assure the Orange of a victory. DANVILLE The :Manual basketeers won their first Big Twelve game at Danville, january 20. Coach Hoff's men led most of the way, holding a 17f13 advantage at the half and leadf ing 21f19 at the third quarter, but Maiiual romped home with a victory in the last quarter with the score 3327. VEEDERSBURG, INDIANA Coach Wilforcl's boys proved that Illinois teams could defeat those from Indiana when they whipped Veedersburg High on Indiana soil, january 21. The final score was 26f19. URBANA In one of the fastest games of the year, MHI1URliS Orange and Black clad quintet put the skids under Urbana High by a score of 26121, january 27. Capt. Weldin, with six field goals and one free toss, was the outstanding star of the evening. McEiwee was the best performer for the losers. MATTOON Capt. Weldin and his mates experienced little diiiieulty in disposing of Mattoon High in a Big Twelve game, January 28. When the battle ended the score board read: Manual, 54, Ivfattoon, 21. CENTRAL Manual's brilliant basketball team fell before Coach Herke's Marcion and White tossers February 3 for the second time of the season on the Armory floor. With Capt. One hundred eleven 7x ...?.

Eisele, our lanky center, played the best game of his career. It was Booties work that kept the Central score as low as it was. The game ended 21f17 in Central's favor. JACKSONVILLE After having tasted defeat at the hands of Central, Coach Wilfcurd's Orange and Black basketball team trimmed Jacksonville 3826 on our own floor February 4. Carl Kroepel, midget forward, was the outstanding performer of the evening. Harms also played a dandy floor game. PEKIN Coach Haussler's Pekin High basketeers gave the Orange little competition in a game played on Manua'l's floor February 10. The Manualites led all the way, holding a 15f3 advantage at the half and 19 at the end of the third quarter. The Hnal secure was Manual, 27, Pekin, S. CANTON One of the hardest fought battles in the history of the two schoo's was played by Manual and Canton on Manuals floor Saturday, February 11. The team work of both quintets was outstanding. There were no stars on either team, as every one worked together like a machine with the score ending, Manual, 18g Canton, 13. SPALDING After having tasted defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black in their first meeting, Coach Al DeCremer's Purple and White tossers from Spalding, handed Manual a crushing 22f1o defeat on the Bradley floor, February 18. The Manualites could not stop Voegele, Spalding's lanky center, who threw in counters from all angles of the court. MOLINE After being defeated by Spalding the Orange and Black jerseyed athletes jourf neyed to Moline on Saturday, February 19, and administered a sound thrashing to the Plowboys. So -tight was the Orange defense that Moline scored only one field goal. The work of Capt. Weldiii, Moscove, and Fisele was outstanding. The final score was, Manual, 21, Moline, S. AVERYVILLF Coach Tommy Corell's tossers from Averyville were next to feel the sting of Coach Wilford's fighting basketball team. This game was played Friday, February 24, without the services of Carl Kroepel, who was in the hospital sudering from blood poison. Chuck Wolgemuth, a Freshman, filled Kroepel's shoes in good style, but Carl's absence was undoubtedly noticed in Manual's offense. Manual more than tripled the number of points made by Averyville with the score 31110. SPRINGFIELD Coach Wilfcird's subs displayed some real talent in the Springfield game which was played on Manuals floor, Saturday, February 25. Led by Emans, sub guard, One hundred twelve 1928 the second stringers rang up more points than the regulars. Besides Emans, Harms, Moscove, and Eisele did some BDC work. The game ended 4540 in Manual's favor. PEKIN The Orange and Black quintet won its second game from Coach Haussler's Pekinites at Pekin, Friday, March 2. Capt. Weldiii caged a basket before the game was a minute old, and Manual held the upper hand throughout the rest of the skirmish. Weldiii, with five baskets, was the leading point getter, while Eisele was the best on the defense. After the smoke had cleared away the scoreboard read, Manual, 273 Pekin, 17. DECATUR Coach Wilfcird's gallant basketball team won its last scheduled game Saturday, March 3, from Decatur in our own gym, -11f18. Beside the tournaments this was the final game for Capt. Weldiii, Eisele, Kroepel, and Moseove. nBootie Eisele and l'Solly Moseove featured the attack of the victors. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Coach WilfcJrd's Orange and Black quintet met Farmington in their first game of the District Tournament, which was held on Central's floor. At the end of the first half Manual looked like an easy winner, but Coach Steven's lads came back strong in the second period to give the Manualites a run for honors. When the Hnal gun sounded the score stood, Manual, 23, Farmington, 20. By their win over Farmington the Orange tossers won the right to play Chilli' cothe, who drew a bye. Little competition was offered by them, and the Wilfcnrdf coached boys romped off with an easy 599 victory. Chuck Wolgemuth, with eight field goals, was the outstanding performer of the game. Manual entered the semifinals with Princeville, who had previously defeated Dun' lap and Trivoli, as their opponent. This was another easy victory for the Orange, and as the final gun sounded, Manual held a 3642 advantage. As was predicted, Manual and Central met in the finals. Central was off with the opening gun and piled up a 1Of1 lead at the end of the first quarter, which was never seriously threatened by Manual. Much praise goes to Solly Moscove for his work in holding Soper without a field goal. Presly, Bartholomew, and Gimming did some fine work for the winners. Bootie Eisele, giant Manual guard, shared the limelight with the clever Moscove. The final score was 27511 in favor of Central. ATHLETIC MANAGERS Managerg HARRY THAYER .....,,.... ..,.

A scheduled seven inning game went thirteen innings because of a 2f2 tie at the end of the hnal period. A pass by Hanks, an infield error, and a hit by Tower in Central's half of the thirteenth, accounted for three runs and won the game for Herke's men. Tight pitching in the pinches by both Hanks and Tower was the main feature of the game. Final score: Central, 5, Manual, 2. GLASFORD FALLS Inability to hit in the pinches cost Glasford its game with Manual on May 12. YVieland issued seven passes, but was very eifective, allowing only two hits. M.

SPRINGFIELD VJINS Coach Wilftird took his golfers to Springfield to engage in a dual meet which Springfield won, although Manual had a low score. LETTER MEN Frank Hutt Ray Coxon Wzilter Shoff Harold Saupe One hundred nineteen 1 928 ATHLETIC SUMMARY Looking back over the past year we find that Manual has enjoyed one of the most successful athletic campaigns in the history of the school. The year of 192708 will go down in the records of Manual for more than one reason, but most outstanding will be the eventful victory over Peoria Central. For years Manual coaches and teams had tried to accomplish the longed for victory over Central, but it took Robert N. Wilford to turn the trick. Coach Vwfilford has won a place in the hearts of all Manual stuf dents, backers, former teams and even the fans of Peoria for his wonderful work on the football field. Cut of eight games played Manual's Orange and Black jerseyed athletes won six, tied one and lost one. A most remarkable incident in the seasons record was the fact that their goal line was crossed but once, and this in the game with Pekin High, the only team to defeat them. In the game with Central our boys scored but four points, but Central didn't score any. The team scored 102 points during the eight games to their opponents' 6 points. With five regular basketball men back to start the season, our boys started off in an auspicious manner, and before the season was well under way, it was an evident fact that Manual would have much to say in the argument for state championship. Our boys scrambled through their opponents almost at will, winning 21 games and losing but 5. It is a sad fact to know that three of these five losses were administered by those pesky Central boys. The other two were handed us by Froebel High of Indiana, and the other by Spalding. Manual's team has the distinction of being the only school in the country that has beaten Canton High twice. In the springtime sports Manual has two fairly capable representatives in basef ball and track. The track team representing Manual this year is not one of chamf pionship caliber, but Coach Wilford has a wonderful team considering the predicament in which he found himself at the opening of the season, when he had but five lettermen back from last year as a nucleus around which to form a winning aggregation. Mr. Ray Landers, popular teacher at Manual, was appointed as coach for the baseball nine, and with seven lettermen back his team has enjoyed a very successful season so far, and shows promise of going through the season undefeated. The per' sonnel of this year's team is as follows: Staebler, catch, Wieland and Hanks, pitchers, Vxfeldin, first, Hiner, second, Greenfield, short stop, Kroepel, third, Schaefer, left, Guppy, center, and Harms, right. The golf men thus far seem to be headed for one of the best seasons they have enjoyed since the introduction of the game at Manual. At the time of this writing, it was impossible to tell how they finished, but they started out by winning over Springf Held in great style, nine up. The foursome this year is composed of one letterman, Capain Harold Saupe, George Schaefer, Albertus Weaver and Michael Loukitus. As a finishing touch to this review The Mirror and Manual students as a body wish to extend to the athletes most hearty congratulations for their work for the year.

LETTERMENS CLUB On the seventeenth of January, the boys who had earned an in any hranch of athletics met in the hoys' gym, and, with Coach Wilford in charge, they proceeded to talk over the possihilities of forming a cluh to he known as the Lettermeifs club. Any hoy earning an from the time of the cluh's origin will he eligible for mem' hership. ' Many things were discussed in the first meetings. The hoys planned a lettermen's social hour. A mass meeting in which they showed their adeptness at singing and other vocations, and an old clothes day in cooperation with the Senior Boys' cluh were outstanding activities of this cluh. A code of rules or Constitution was drawn up. A fine of five cents is to he imposed upon any memher who is ahsent from any meeting without a good excuse. Goach Wilfcurd made it known that the ohject of this cluh is to promote that fine fellowship which should prevail among the hoys, and to insure their having a merry old time in the right way. All in all, the Lettermenls cluh will he known for the fine fellowship which it will promote. One hundred twenty one sq I f'T77'W? ' 1 7,j7f'f '7:' 1 X l 44 - - -..s K ge :E -N 1 4 me 2 are 1 928 G.

Meetings are held the Hrst Vw7ednesday of each month consisting of a short business session and a program of a light nature. To receive an a girl must earn 600 points during the year. Points are earned by the following activities: hiking, swimming, bicycling, ice skating, tennis, canoeing, rowing, bowling, skiing, and making Hrst team in volley ball, basketball, baseball, and tennis. There were two outstanding social events of the year, the Christmas party which was held at the Midland Bakery, and a weiner roast at Bradley Park in the Spring. In March the G. A. A. sponsored a movie, realizing a neat sum for the treasury. The G. A. A. helped liberally in filling the Christmas baskets and gave a small sum for the proposed Y. W. C. A. A basketball color tournament was held in February for the girls who failed to make a class team. There was keen competition among the eight teams. The Red team, coached by Leola Gardiner, won in the iinal game. Baseball, another sport, proves that many of the girls are handy at swinging the bat. Manual has many allfaround athletic girls, and although they are not recognized as much as our school teams, Maiiual is proud of them. The gym exhibition was sponsored by the girls' gymnasium classes and also added proof to the fact that the girls have much talent in athletics.

She decided to continue Phys' ical Education and attended the Kellogg School of Physical Edu' cation, at Battle Creek, Michigan, for one year and has followed this line of work ever since. Miss Deardorf came to Manual directly after the Christmas Holidays in 1924. She has taken great interest in her work here, and has proved her capahility in handling girls' athletics. Miss Deardorf has innoculated the Girls' Athletic Association with such enthusiasm as has caused it to thrive and grow to one of the largest and hest organizations of its kind. xosy' GYMNASIUM EXHIBITION Ahout two hundred and fifty girls participated in the gymnasium exhihition at Manual on April 4 in a prograin which consisted of every variety of gymnastic work. The demonstration opened with a grand march in which most of the Freshmen and Sophomore girls took part. When all were grouped in marching formation on the floor, the tallest girls formed a huge while all sang the Manual Marching Song. The first numbers on the program were the light apparatus drills, including wands, Indian cluhs, and dumhhells. The girls displayed a skill and technique which showed much training and work on their part. The girls on the floor, as well as the audience, thoroughly enjoyed the exercises Mr. Graner put them through. Clog dancing is a new venture at Manual, but the ease with which it was done proved that it is heartily endoi'sed hy the girls. Tumbling is also in the embryo stage and is highly popular with the more athletic girls, Dressed in orange and lwlue clown suits they made a very pretty picture in their pyramids. The mimetie drill was especially enjoyed hy the hoys. It kept them guessing what sport would he imitated next. jockey and French doll dances were favorites with the audience and showed some real acting along with the steps. The National dances in which large groups participated were most interesting and showed many different varieties of steps. Many of the older folks of the audience were thrilled at the old time dances, especially the quadrille, which hrought hack many cherished memories. The last nuniher, a Colonial dance, was a spectacle of heauty, The gorgeous costumes lent grace and poise to the fair Georges and Marthas. One hundred twenty five .M Sr. b C 1. xx 1.

Seven contests were open to the Seniors-giving them wonderful possibilities for literary development. Two contests were open to the entire school. ' 'SEQ In the literary section are found the following contest winners: the winners of first and second places, as well as the three to receive honorable mention in the Pub' lications' contest, the Sir Galahad essay, sponsored by the National Honor Society, and the poem for which a prize is offered by joe DeRamus, a graduate of Manual and the first editor of the magazine called The Manual. This last contest is open to Seniors only. Student Publication SAVAGE First Place As the fragrant purple of the woodland gloaming emerged from the stately aisles among the pines and deepened upon the forest village, the proprietor of the Pinehaven House moved about his dining room, lighting lamps suspended from the ceiling. The four diners at the center table finished their meal and lighted their cigars. The forestfservice man was entertaining three friends from farfaway San Francisco, who had come up into the Northwest woods for a week of fishing. At the rangers left sat an army major, at his right, a clergyman attired in informal tweedsg facing him across the table was a thickfset civilian, graying at the temples. He was Lieutenf ant Brinkley of the San Francisco police force. When the service man had relighted his cigar, he turned to the clergyman. I suppose you're the accepted authority on fishing, Bishop, so it's up to you to select the flies. Slowly, the clergyman shook his head, then nodded toward the police officer. 'LBrink is the expert, Dick. He has the reputation of having caught some of the bigf gest fish that ever came over the pike. The army major laughed. But we're going after trout, Bishop, and Brink's fishing has been along other lines! Here the unsmiling police officer nodded. We'll leave the selection to you and the ranger, Bishop. The service man rose. Then let's get the flies now and turn in. We want to make an early start in the morning. The store is right next door. There's a rear entrance from the hotel. He led the way from the dining room across a yard and opened the back door of the Pinehaven general store. He waited for the clergyman and the major to precede him into the building, but the police officer waved him in, then followed and drew the door behind him. One hundred twenty seven 1 l l . l 1928 Before an exhibit of fishing paraphernalia near the rear of the store the three friends paused, waiting for Lieutenant Brinkley to join them. They saw him close the door and turn about. His gaze swept at once beyond them, and a flicker of interf est and surprise crossed his face, while his eyes narrowed, and his burly shoulders seemed to contract abruptly. p The three men turned quickly to discover the cause of the policcman's unusual interest. They saw O'Grady behind his counter adding a sales tag, Facing him was a young giant, waiting beside a large pile of purchases. - It was upon the customer that Lieutenant Brinkley's gaze was riveted. He was a veritable savage in appearance and demeanor. On his feet were stout moccasins, his trousers and jacket were of soft deerskin, and his cap was a rabbits pelt. In his right hand a long barrelled rifle balanced. He was well over six feet ta-11 and carried his height with a supple grace that bespoke years in the open. There was about him an alert, furtive tensencss suggesting an untamed creature of the forest. His skin was darkly tanned, and the flush of health upon his cheeks glowed a dull olive. He might have passed for an Indian but for the unmistakable cast of his features and his blond, sunburned hair. He was, indeed, a savage to all appearances. Hello, there! Brink's suddenly animated voice broke the silence. If the young giant had seemed savage in repose, he was transformed into a milif tant wild man. He swung about to face the rear of the store, though it was obvious that he saw only Brink. His eyes were abruptly alive with panic, like a cornered beasts, and the rifle leaped magically across his chest, its hammer cocking with a metallic click. The army officer glanced back at the policeman and saw Brink's hands, clinched at his sides, slowly open with palms turned forward. The major surmised it was some signal of the underworld, an indication, perhaps, that the officer was unarmed. The savages rifle lowered a fraction. For a full minute the tableau held. Then without warning the wild man whirled about and with the silence of a shadow leaped across the room to disappear through the street door. With an exclamation, Lieutenant Brinkley sprang forward in pursuit. Through the doorway he leaped, with the agility of a man half his age, and halted upon the veranda outside to glance up and down the street. The purple gloaming had taken up the fleeing figure, the officer could discover no hint of movement upon the darkenf ing thoroughfare. As he reentered the store, he found his friends waiting beside O'Grady's counter. The service man smiled indulgently. 'kYou look as if you'd seen a ghost, Brink! Long lost friend? Brinkley's brow was furrowed. L'Does that lad live here in Pinehaven? The ranger shook his head. uFirst time I've ever met up with him, Brink, but I guessed who he was the minute I laid eyes on him. If I'm not mistaken we've just seen the most important skeleton in Pinehaven's proverbial closet! O'Grady leaned across his counter. That's our hermit. I've heard of him for more than three years, but this is the hrst time he ever showed up here to get his grub. Generally has it ordered through IVIacDonald, the service lookout, and it goes One liundred twenty eight Q A44 T e---I - W- + ,,-AM ff- e 1928, up along with the forest service supplies. He lives somewhere up on the mountains above the lookout station. He's plumb crazy and a savage! The service officer nodded. !'That's who I thought it was. He's a queer one, Brink,-wild as a deer. Nobody seems to be able to get close to him except Mac' Donald. And Mac keeps mum as a clam about the lad. It seems he's got a past. L'I'1l say he has, Lieutenant Brinkley remarked. Funny thing! We always thought he was dead! Friend of yours, Brink? asked the major. Brink did not seem to hear. He was smiling to himself. L'Strange, meeting that way up here in this part of the woods. He's probably figured he had covered up his trail for good! NVho is he?'5 the major persisted. It was a long time before Brinkley seemed to hear the question. He was mixed up in the shooting of Sergeant Doane of the police force in San Francisco about four ' ' fr i l years ago. I was a corporal then and came on him standing over Doane wti a revolver in his hand. But he made it out of the window, taking one of my bullets with him. I can see that lad standing over Doane with that smoking gun, just as though it was yesterday! This almost seems too good to be true. I come up to this neck of the woods to fish, and I bump right into 'lvlaryland Mikef I'll be hanged! II. It was midnight when lwlaryland Ivfike reached the sumniit at the end of the snake trail and made .his way along the edge of the plateau toward the dark outlook cabin. IvIacDonald was waiting for him on the bench beside the station door. Mike sat down and told lVIacDonald of his meeting with Brinkley, the police officer, in the village. With a cry of despair IVIacDonald sprang to his feet. 'Tis but a whim of the devil, Michziel! Did-fdid he know you after these years? Know me? the savage echoed. The police never forget, M1lC!', Did he follow? Not tonight-I made sure o t at. u ie Vs f h B t l will. He'll be coming up to see you. Tomorrow I go on Then with a parting word Milce left for his abode. It was a night of storm. Nlaryland lay awake upon his blankets while the wind shook his hidden abode, and the sky, suddenly overcast, was split at short intervals by jagged lances of lightning that hurtled earthward to strike into the bosom of the forest. Harking now to the savage sounds of the storm, he knew that dawn would reveal battles to be fought on the forested plain below. He wanted to descend at dawn and join the marching files of menfgbut there was Brinkley to be considered. One hundred twenty nine -..LJ 1928 HI. In the morning Maryland left his hidden abode and began to make his way toward the barren headland. He wondered if he would find the smoke curling upf ward from the timber below. He had gone half way to the point when he was stopped by the calling of his name. Turning to the upftrail, he saw the lass of MacDonald running toward him. Maryland met her upon the crest of the trail. She paused before him in breathf less excitement, her eyes plaintive with panic. Into his hand she thrust a folded sheet of paper. Michael-the fire! she gasped out. You must take these locations down to the village. At once, Michael! The telephone. wire is down-it broke in the storm before dawn. Daddy went out to ind the break and he hasn't returned. She paused, fainting. Presently she came to. '!You must go at once, Michael! l4l'll look for daddy. '!But I am going away, Else!-lass! he replied, desperately thinking of Brinkley and the consequences of the past. Back into the mountains. I've no time 'to spare. She drew back and began to cry, saying, L'lt's a terrible fire! You must go at once to the village with these locations! They will be waiting for them! It might be done, Maryland considered, weakening before the child's tears. With care he could enter and leave the village unseen by Brinkley. The lass of MacDonald was jerking at the lapels of his mackinaw. You must go, Michael! Say that you will! Michael reluctantly consented and left immediately. Never before had he made the trip to the valley so swiftly. At the outskirts of Pinehaven he paused, observing a large group of men in front of the forest service office. With the thought that Brink might be in the crowd, he turned to a deserted byfstreet and made his way toward the rear of the office. On the threshold he paused, glancing around. The service man he had seen with Brink before sat at a desk with his back toward the door, a second ranger at the wall telephone was impatiently signalling. Qver his shoulder the young ranger at the telephone said, MacDonald's line is still dead, sir! Maryland Mike stepped forward to the desk then, and both men turned to him in surprise. Why, hello there! the district ranger greeted him. Well, if it isn't Lieutenf ant Brinkley's friend again! What's this? While the service man scanned the paper, Maryland backed toward the rear door. Brink's companion of the night before glanced up from the paper with eager eyes. Wait a minute, you! The young ranger stepped quickly across the room, observing Maryland curiously, and took a place between the savage and the open door. Where'd you get this? the district man inquired. MacDonald's lass, Maryland replied. !'Their line's down. He went to fix it and didn't get back. One hundred thirty 1928 The man at the desk swung to the young ranger. Mike has brought the locaf tions, jack, so we won't need the telephone. Get the crews together. She's a bad one-over at Blind Canyon! We'll need every man. Maryland Mike hurried silently out of the office and a moment later was speeding up the deserted byfstreet. He had gained the first intersecting street when he saw three men emerge from a house beyond. He recognized the three men as the clergyman, the army oflicer, and Lieutenant Brinkley, the police oflicer. Turning he sped up the street toward the main thoroughfare, intent upon gain' ing the forest from that direction. But a moment later, reaching the corner, he was halted in panicg he was trapped, cut off. Before him a column of marching men appeared, pausing at the command of the young ranger. The service man greeted him with a smile. L'It's every man this trip, so come on, Mike. Fall in! In desperation he took a place in the column. IV. Fifteen minutes after the departure of the first crew of the fire Hghters with the young ranger, a second and larger crew, commanded by the district man, left the village. By ten o'clock both of the crews were on the battle line. From the north wall of Blind Canon the first crew began its fire line, the second crew started from the south wall. Halfway between was a natural firebreak, an acre of volcanic boulders, which trail they must win before the hurricane of flames, thundering down the canon, sweep over. On the fire line, wielding a doublefbitted axe, Maryland Mike succumbed to thc spell of group efort. The impulses which MacDonald had long tried to kindle leaped magically into flame. VVorking shoulder to shoulder with his fellow men, Maryland felt the policies of his breeding fall from him, and he absorbed gratefully the spirit of rough good humor that invested the laboring crew. The young ranger, patrolling the fire line, paused now and again to watch Mary' land's savage onslaught against the tangle of wilderness. Then the thing happened. Beneath the increasing heat, men were falling from exhaustion. It was plainly a losing fight. Mike! The call was relayed again and again up the fire line. Maryland turned from his labors to discover the young ranger beckoning him from a distance. As Maryland came up the ranger said, There is a bad mess over there by the iirebreak of boulders, Mike, and I want you to go and take charge of it. The district man has sent a small crew to start trail this way to meet us, and he's ordered me to send a man to take charge. You know the lay of the land. But don't take any chances! the ranger warned. Come out the minute it begins to look dangerous. Fifteen minutes later, running down the forest aisle toward the acre of boulders, Maryland saw the situation was more grave than the ranger had realized. A moment later he came upon his crew. They were four. One was a stripling boy, a homesteader probably, standing up on a high boulder, surveying the area of One hundred thirty one . 'wtf-a If- N I. f'fZf .l 'I'?ff in it 1928s flames. Below him were the three others, obviously at a loss where to begin. Mary' land halted in his tracks as they turned to face him. In dismay he saw Brink, the major, and the bishop. A dismal tide of memory flooded upon him, he saw the past closing in, Brink's long vigil soon to be rewarded. He was not afraid of the flames. He knew a way out o t e g of death--the wide bed of an ancient creek which would make a path through the uthers, he was certain, did not know of f h threatenin circle ire along which he could pass safely. The c the secret avenue of escape. He was fascinated by the converging fires. Vw' hen they met, he would steal away alone, and the red death would close in, yielding him freedom from Brink and all that Brink represented. The police officer, facing im eye o eye, Hello, Maryland! And the savage's lips raised quivering wolnshly. k'Hello, Brink! In another moment, with brisk orders, he had them at a hopeless task. They did not, he knew, realize their peril. orked. The hot wind from off the flames blew savagely into h' t nodded with a hint of amusement. Un and on they w the heart of Maryland Ixlike. He glanced at the narrowing avenue between the smoke lines. Before long Brink's doom would sound. above the running artillery of the approaching flames, two the north fire line. The stripling youth sprang quickly be' Ten minutes later, rifle shots sounded from side Maryland. They're signalling us to come out, he shouted above the din. uSee, shes closing in. ' Stirred by a savage joined, or would join be and report to the ranger on the north fire. Illl follow later. The boy turned eagerly and beckoned to the others. They would, Maryland losed! He watched the clergyman and the army impulse in his heart, Maryland saw that the lines of fire had fore many minutes. Theres time yet. Take these men out knew, find the avenue of escape e ofhcer pass, followed by Brink. Maryland grinned. i'See you later, Brink! Then he turned about and made his way in the direction of the hidden glen beyond the boulders. Running swiftly on, Mzirylaiid saw that by the time the others discovered their peril and returned to search for him the fire would have eaten down the border of rocks, cutting them off even from the questionable retreat. He was suddenly halted in his tracks by a distant, longfdrawn call. There was a note of terror in it. They were calling again, sounding their pitiful need of his leadership. He tried to will himself on to the waiting avenue of escape, but he was unable to move. Again the call rang out, and a shudder ran its course through Maryland. Civilization was fully upon him. With a whimpering cry upon his lips he whirled about and dashed back along the way he had come. With ridiculous joy he beheld the expressions of gladness and relief upon their faces as they caught sight of him. One hundred thirty two 1928 One, he observed with startled eyes, lay on the ground, obviously in pain. As he reached them, he saw it was Brink, his leg broken by a fall. We're cut off, the bishop cried, wringing his hands. I know a way out! Maryland cried above the roar of the conflagration. Here, Major, help me with Brink! They made a chair of their hands and placed the injured police oficer upon it. Maryland gave them directions, and the boy led the way, followed by the bishop. Maryland and the major, with Brink between them, came up in the rear. On and on they stumbled. Arriving at the glen, they halted beside a small pool a hundred yards from where the wall of flames was driving up the old water course toward them. From inspired eyes they beheld their avenue of escape. Setting Brink upon the ground, Maryland ordered them to wet their handkerf chiefs and tie them about the lower halves of their faces. Then he addressed them swiftly. Get through the head of the flames as quick as you can, and don't breathe 'til you're outside! You fellows start. I'll follow with Brink. Too slow to try it double! He wetted Brink's handkerchief and tied it across the oHicer's face. In another moment Maryland had his burden on his shoulder. It was an heroic task, and he staggered beneath the weight. And in another instant he was inside the line. Sight was blotted from his eyes. On and on he staggered, consciousness draining from him. Once again he fell, this time into a shallow pool of water. This revived him somewhat. At last he emerged from the scorching heat into a draft of fresh, pure air. With a tremulous exclamation he paused, tottering upon his feet, to drink in the reviving breeze. Brink was choking the air into his lungs. , Maryland tried to go on but failed and swooned. The return of consciousness found him propped against the generous bowl of a fir, surrounded by many men. Someone beside him was pouring a cool liquid upon his hands. He turned and saw that the man working over his hands was the district ranger. Hurt much now, Mike? the service man inquired. Maryland shook his head. The district ranger sat back on his heels. IvIy assistant tells me you're a wonder under fire, Mike. You're the kind of man we need. Why don't you join the service? Maryland's smile receded from his lips. The service had long symbolized for him the orderly code of civilized life. How about it? the district man insisted. Maryland felt then a shoulder pressed against his own and turned to find Brink seated beside him. And Maryland thought he detected an anxious look in Brink's eyes. Guess the game's up, Brink! Brink smiled. Coming to Frisco with me, Mike? Maryland gave Brink a warning look not to say anything more, but Brink did not seem to understand. One hundred thirty three , 7'3 -'iff ,T7 1 I l Lxj J li R3 ttf? E J lx 1 1928 The chief's real anxious to see you, Maryland! Brink continued. XVe've looked everywhere for you. It's about the shooting! Brink asked, Know who's chief of police down there now, Maryland? Maryland shook his head, giving up hope of silencing the oiiicer. Who is the chief? A friend of yours, Mike. Don't you remember, he used to be sergeant? Name is Doane. Maryland started violently. Doane? he exclaimed. Not-fnot the one-- In his mind's eye, Maryland saw again the little backroom of a waterffront saloon with a sergeant of police lying upon the floor, the air acrid with powder smoke, two gangsters breaking for the open window. ThenAathen he didn't-didn't Brink laughed softly. Chief Doane says that you're the reason why he didn't, Maryland! I'Ie's been looking for you for years to tell you so! So when you hit the old town, you're going to find that nothing's too good for Maryland Mike! Maryland gasped, L'What-what do you have to be to join the service, ranger? The district man's glance swept beyond him to where Brinkley sat. Then, with kindling eyes, he looked back at Maryland. All you have to be is civilized! he replied with a chuckle. Maryland Mike heard the two of them laughing softly. A pleasant feeling gen' erated in his chest, rising to his throat, and an instant later he was laughing with them. Then I guess I'll apply, Maryland replied. I had forgotten how the wind Could run down early hills, And how the crystal raindrops Make songs on window sills! I had forgotten how a single Robin could make Spring, And how the sudden daffodils Their yellow candles bring! One hundred thirty four W-Elwood Sieks, '28. I Had Forgotten Second Place could I had forgotten how the sea Could lose its somber hue, But now I see its shorelines etched About with white and blue! And all because I heard a song You used to sing, my dearf Since then I am remembering And wishing you were here. WECITLLL Hirwichs, '29. 1928 Honeymooning Honorable Mention Larry Martin's hair was turning gray. Not in the onefhairfatfaftime order, but by the dozens. In fact, there was little left to turn gray, for Larry's supply was fast diminishing, and a not overly small bare spot was appearing in the exact center of his well shaped dome Larry was ambitious, he had been that way for nearly fifty years. That explains why he was cutting wood and helping around the kitchen, sometimes scolded, some' times praised by his wife who still possessed a faint suggestion of her former beauty in her cheeks. Her hair, once the prettiest gold, was now faded and grayed, with just a little wisp here and there of its former color. She, too, was ambitious, and that explains her duties as cook for their own well known establishment!Pleasant Inn, Larry Mar' tin, Prop. The Martins did not have any children. They were too busy for that. They were concerned principally and wholly in the running of Pleasant Inn and the making of money. Luxuries they denied themselves, not because they were stingy, but because they concluded many a time after the discussion of purchasing some improvement in comfort,-- they did not have the time. Thus, things had gone on for twentyfiive years and would have continued in the same rut but for one little incident that happened on a wild stormy night in that trickiest of all months-March. A large mud bespattered automobile stopped before the door of Pleasant Inn and a gentleman of middle age, a lady most probably of about the same years, and two children, a boy and a girl, ages about ten and twelve respectively, descended. With the ringing of the bell, Larry took his nose away from the windowfpane that he had just been keeping warm by its pressure, and answered the door. Come in, come in, he invited. Thank you, said the tall dark gentleman. Larry closed the door and ushered them to the fireplace. Mrs. Martin took their coats and whatfnots while they rubbed their hands gratefully before the dancing flames. Indeed, the boy and girl got so close to them that Larry was somewhat alarmed. L'You wish to stay over night? questioned the proprietor. Um, can't say I do, but guess we'll have to. W'hen they had gone to their rooms, Larry and Mrs. Martin examined the name on the register. J. R. Carson and family was there in a strong masculine hand. This was per' fectly all right, but under the name was scrawled, as though written for amusement, the wordYI'Ioneymooning. II. Honeymooning, mused Larry as he repaired a broken chair by the cellar stairf way. That's funny. I wonder what he means by Honeymooningf' One hundred thirty five ,'11'J i'i:f a N A 1928 AP' l'Honeymooning, pondered lvlrs. Martin over her hot coal range. Can that be his second, or even third wife? It was sixfthirty and supper hour at Pleasant Inn. Two petite waitresses carried the steaming victuals to the quaintly arranged tables around which were seated at least a dozen guests. - The Carson family had just descended and were talking over a table in front of the fireplace. The boy and girl were making faces at each other, which, of course, is not uncommon between brother and sister even after they have reached the twentyf one mark, that wonderful age of wisdom. A waitress brought their meal on a large tray. Mr. Carson leaned over and gently pinched one of the red cheeks of his wife and whispered softly as though just for her ears alone, yet the words found way to the waitress' ears as she left the table. 1 ' 'Some honeymoon, eh, my dcarfw A Mrs. Carson's reply lay in her eyes, so the waitress heard no more. Honey moon, thought the girl half aloud, as she illed another tray in the kitchen. What's that? inquired Mrs. Martin, a little more sharply than the occasion demanded. Why, answered the waitress, the Carson party is on a honeymoon. Mr. Carson just leaned over and pinched the lady's cheek like a common school boy and asked her how she liked the honeymoon. Ch, said the cook with a certain interested air. The girl took her laden tray and entered the dining room again. She took a roundfabout way in order to pass the Carson table. They were eating with an evident relish. That was not strange, for Mrs. Martin's cookery was far famed. Even the brother and sister had forgotten their quarrel in the face of such appetizing food. Anything you wish? inquired the waitress on her way back. 'lNo, thank you. But tell Mrs. lvfartin that it is a delight to sample her dishes on our silver anniversary, was the reply. Wheii the waitress conveyed this piece of congratulatory news to the cook, that lady uttered a greatly enlightened 'MOH' to an already much enlightened girl. III. The tall clock in the hallway solemnly chimed the hour of ten. After the ten strokes, its echoes went through the silent rooms and up and down the stairs and then passed through an open window disturbing a dog in his gaze at a lighted window in the upper story. The cook and allfaround man were not in bed. Ah, no. Mr. lwlartin stood in the middle of the floor with his hand to his head in deep thought. Mrs. Martin was doing the same thing as her husband, only with a little more coherence between mind and body, for she was sitting down. At last she raised her head and looked into lvlr. Martin's eyes as he turned to her at precisely the same moment. One hundred thirty six 1928 They spoke no word, they only probed each other's depths, and, satisfied, they nodded their heads at the same instant. Their decision on the matter fevidently on silent discussion, was approved of unanimously. Wheii the dog outside howled at the seven o'clock whistle the next morning, the cook was busy getting breakfast. The waitresses were setting tables and finished as the nrst guest descended the stairs. It was Mr. Carson dressed for travel. He paused beside the waitress who had served his party the night before and asked, May I see the cook? Surely, replied the girl with good English, and she led the way to the kitchen. Priscilla, she said to the cook, uthis is Mr. Carson. He wants to see you. But, objected that gentleman, this is not Mrs. Martin, I wanted to talk with her. Sorry, answered the waitress, for you will have to wait a long while before you see Mrs. Martin again or Mr. Martin, either. Then, before Mr. Carson could interrupt, she added, You see, they decided to go a honeymooning last night, like two mushy lovers. They left about three hours ago in their car. Said something about twentyfnve years and silver anniversary. Chl said the tall gentleman, I see. -Emie Bullock, 30, THE END. His Recompense Honorable Mention Professor Lyle Matthews, principal of the Central High School of Little Rock, North Carolina, was an idealist and a scholar. He had been teaching for thirty years, and for the last twelve, he had capably filled the responsible position of principal of the Central High School. His social life was centered in the school activities, and his small circle of friends were school associates. During all his teaching career he had been happy and contented, giving himself fully to his work. Now as he grew older and his responsibilities grew more numerous, he often found himself in a retrospective mood. He would recall his former class' mates and the influential positions they were holding. They were men of his own age, but there the resemblance ended. Some had wealth and all the luxuries of life that came with itg others had gained fame in Science or Letters. What had he accomf plished? A poorly paid salary and a second rate school were his only accomplishments. Broodingly, he decided he was a failure. His life was wasted. It was the last week of the school year, with final examinations in session and last minute tasks to do. It had been a tedious, nervefracking day for the instructors. At four o'clock, Professor Matthews found himself alone in the building. Upon ref turning to his private oflice he suddenly became aware that he was fatigued both physically and mentally. Leaning forward he put his head on his arms and tried to relax, but his tired mind dwelt upon his discontent, he felt drained of all that vitality which comes from enthusiasm in one's work. One hundred thirty seven 1928 He started as the telephone rang. Mechanically he picked it up, A man's voice asked for Professor Matthews. This is he, he answered dejectedly. Good afternoon, Professor. This is John ing, w K' ho formerly taught Algebra under your supervision. X T, Ch, yes, Mr. King. I am glad to hear from you, How arc you, k'Fine, Mr. Matthews.

I want you to know that it has been your advice and example which have inspired all my A ' ' ' ' A h f t re efforts. I owe all my good fortune to you. My highest ambition is that in t e u u I may help others as you have helped me, Thank you, john, said Mr. Matthews in a husky voice. Let me congratulate you and wish you a very successful future. As he hung up the receiver a knock sounded on the door. In answer to his invif tation to enter, a youth of about nineteen years of age introduced himself.

NOTE:+This poem also won third honorable mention in the Student Publication Literary Contest. One hundred thwty eight . 1928 National Honor Society GALAHAD TGDAY Today we look upon the young knight Sir Galahad as the personification of that perfect purity which never yielded to temptations of the world. Sir Galahad pref served his purity by keeping his mind constantly on his quest for the Holy Grail. Man today may, too, be a Sir Galahad, but only by keeping his thoughts and actions pure. When he was but a babe, Galahad had his first vision of the Grail, the holy emblem which was to illuminate his life's pathway. Abbey in his frieze pictures the babe as laughingly reaching for the sacred thing. In childhood, man is also presented with these gifts of purity, but it is his life's work to maintain them. Upon reaching manhood, Galahad was made a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. There he took the vow of chivalry: to speak the truth and maintain the right, to protect the distressed, the poor, and all women. Man today cannot take the vows of knighhood, but he can follow them. In the life of everyone there comes a time when he must realize the dangers that beset him when he takes his place among those who lead and serve. So it was with the knight Galahad, when he made his departure in search for the Grail. At the Castle of the Grail, Galahad erred. This story may be said to represent the doubts and hesitation which greet youth on his entrance into the worldly life before he has learned that nothing, no matter how good, can be of great value unless it has glorifying ideals as its basis. Sir Galahad's life was not one that was always filled with easy tasks, for he had to confront sin in his combat with the Seven Deadly Sins. This symbolizes today that a handftofhand conflict with the world's evils is necessary to the growth of every soul. Gn went young Galahad in his search, giving up his worldly wants. He returned to the Castle of the Grail, but this time he did not err. So, then, man must not err twice in the same way. While Galahad was at the castle, King Amfortas died in his arms. The impulse to help Amfortas brought understanding to Galahad and released the old king. In the life of man today one of the keys that open one of the most sacred roads of life is sympathy. Galahad next embarked in Solomons ship and sailed to the city of Sarras. Solo' mon's ship is the wisdom one needs to lead him to enlightenment. On and on went this young man, resisting the temptations of the world until he came to his wondrous Golden Tree, the symbol of his perfected works on earth. With all his earthly duties performed, Galahad was taken by the Almighty to eternal glory. If man puts on his armor, not made of costly metal, but made of purity, strength, sympathy and truth, he, too, can find his Golden Tree and eternal glory. -Thelma Robinson, 28.

VVe gathered here four years ago, and now we cannot but regret that our good times as a class are ended. For the past has been pleasant, and, as we look back over the years, they seem like a pleasant dream. And now, we must leave this dear old school which has been as a home to us, where we met every day. We shall never forget the happy days spent here. September, 1929, will welcome another class in our stead. And we, too, welcome you, funiors, into our places. Greater responsibilities are before you. Come with a good will, and may success come from every honest effort which you make. To you we say, Welcome and Farewellf, We thank you, teachers, for what you have done for us in helping us to complete our course. 'You have borne with our failures and rejoiced with us in our successes. May what we accomplish in this life prove that we have accepted your teach' ings. We bid you Farewell. And now, Classmates, we have completed our last work together. The next call to duty will speak to us not as a class but as individuals. 'Tis sad to part, but it would be sadder, if parting meant forgetting. Time may dim, but it can never quite destroy the chords of friendships formed here. Goodfbye, dear old Nfanual High School. Goodfbye, teach' ers and fellow students. We take the lessons which we have learned from you and turn toward the boundless future. THE EDITOR.
