The dear old bell seems to echo a different sound, and it calls us no more to enter the classrooms as regular students. The four years which we have spent taklng our high school courses have passed by very rapidly. Everyone of us has a vivid picture in mind of September 1920 when the student body of Pontiac High School was increased by approximately seventy-five students who enrolled as Freshmen. These Freshmen, like the ordinary high school beginners, did various things which caused laughter among the upper- classmen. During the first year the class was carefully organized under the supervision of Misses Keplinger, and Jenkinson. A meeting was held near the end of the year presided over by Virginia Parshall in which a picnic was planned, and later held in the Kunkle grove, west of Pontiac. In the fall of 1921 we re-entered Pontiac High School with all the green indications carefully repainted, for we were then, refined Sophomores. Under the guidance of Mr. Anderson and Miss Grady we sailed through our Sophomore year. Two social events during the year added much delight to our school life. XVhen we began our Junior year we had many ideas in view as to how the business of our class undertakings should be carried out. We began at once with the aid of Misses Judy and Burr as faculty advisers to put these ideas into practice. The officers for the First semester of that year were Tom Barton, Presi- dentg Virginia Parshall, vice-presidentg Kathryn Miller, Treasurerg and Gladys Stettbacher, Secretary. VVith these people as competent leaders we were able to collect a respectable fund to be used for later purposes. At our mid-year election Tom Barton was again chosen president, and Glenn Leonard was chosen vice- president. Our dramatization of Daddy Long Legs was successfully put on in the spring of 1923. The tastes of the students were satisfied by the delicately prepared edibles which were sold to increase the fund for our Junior Prom. This gave the Seniors a night of pleasure featuring a banquet followed by the grand marchu and dances. 'H XV e have now reached the Senior year of this once Freshman group. They were quite successful in the beginning of their last year by having the prize Float?' in the flrst annual Homecoming of the City of Pontiac. The faculty advisers, Miss Judy and Mr. Schultz, working with the officers, Tom Barton as Presidentg Arthur Tallman as Vice-Presidentg Glenn Leonard as Treasurerg and Mary Noel as Secretary, are leading the class to make their Senior year one of grand success. The Annual staff are working very diligently to make the second publication of the High School Annual the best, possible. As we pass over the threshold of the Pontiac High School we can't help but halt our steps before leaving and wonyder if we have really been of service to the school. The four aims of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character seem permanently impressed upon our minds, and our hope is to try to follow them as nearly as possible.

Ople Fosdick leaves to Harriet Christensen a paper sack in which is to be found a bottle of Lifeine and brush for applying the same, together with full instructions as to how to use her soulful eyes when once Harriet has acquired them. lllarther Shepherd leaves her exciting, but so far unmarred, reputation as a chaperon at dances to Miss Frink. Dorothy Fenton wills her intense devotion to the study of chemistry and her love for its instructor to Claudine Shepherdg but Claudine must always wear a rubber apron to class, in order to protect herself from acid and acidity. Viola King leaves her boisterous manners and voice to Jule Opperman, hoping that by means of these he may win his way to fame and fortune as train caller Number l at the Chicago and Alton depot in Pontiac. Helen Edwards leaves a certain, once-white vehicle to Jerry Pearre so that he may be able to vie with Kenneth Keplinger in bringing the girls to school. Helen assures Jerry that the above-mentioned uvehiclel' will contain as many of the fair sex as any seven passenger Cad, Ortrude Bidwell bequeaths to Alice Rachel Miller her secret of success in always being able to answer questions when called upon in class: hrst blush furiously, then scratch the head, after that a few Let-me-sees, --the rest is easv. H Mildred Baker, in her self-appreciation to make love by means of endless hugs and kisses with Josie Campagna, wishes to leave this interesting pastime to Anna Marie Middleton and Miss Smith, so that any incoming Freshman desiring to be proficient in this art may allways have an example before him. Kenneth Potter leaves an essay on voice culture to Mr. Anderson. Andy will know what to do with it. Glenn Leonard leaves a pair of tortoise-rimmed glasses, a tube of Stay-comb, a soulful look, a bright purple tie, and a pair of scissors to Carl Hopkins, begging him to show his appreciation of these gifts by using them. Frances NVilliams leaves to Hazel Taylor several moving picture magazine interviews and an autographed photograph, both of which concerns Nita Naldi, in whose foot-steps Frances is attempting to tread. Harold Rittenhouse wills a spark coil, already attached, to the Athletic Com- mittee of the Student Council to induce, persuade, or infuse pep into our pep meetings. Alberta Stephens leaves her habit of unbounded devotion to any boy who may be interested in her to Virginia St. John with full instructions how to use this habit upon the first boy who presents himself. Page 37 1924 THEWIGWAM Gladys Stettbacher bequeaths her cooking ability to Dorothy Mohan to be used as one more means of binding Joe to her. Rachael Roth resigsn her position as anchor woman, on the girls' tug-o'-war team, to Maurine Miller. - Marie Miller, who has steadfastly refused to have a date with the same boy twice in succession, leaves this envious record to Harriet Shaw with the request that she follow her example. Katherine Miller desires that Mildred Galloway inherit her classy appearance and her desire to win from Mr. Stumpf the daily compliment, You look like a million dollars today. Lela Beach leaves two strong hair nets and a dozen hairpins to Aldine Wessels which may be used in keeping her hair in place as they were formerly used by Miss Beach, or as a snare in obtaining and securing her heart's aspiration, Alden jami- son. Theo Chamberlain leaves her love for romance, adventure, and gay night life to Henry James. john Renne leaves a volume of, what he considers, his best jokes, with a dis- cussion of the most advantageous methcd of telling them and the proper hysterics with which to accompany them, to Bob jim Finnell. Arthur Tallman leaves his personally conducted las well as his short cor- respondencej course in the gentle art of dancing to Corbley Bowen. His able assistants, Misses Helen Edwards and Ramona Huber, accompany this bequest. Margaret Miller desired to bequeath her soulful eyes and perfectly formed curls to VVilliam Barnett who will then need only the suit to complete his long-felt desire to impersonate Little Lord Fauntleroy. Edwin Perry wills his shrill piping voice and the delicateness of his form to La Verne Ferrias. Clifford Coup leaves his violet-colored pajamas lbed-room slippers and night cap to matchj to Mr. Haussler. Lucile Donley leaves her perfect niastery of the tramp walk to Mr. Crew. Irma Malone leaves her arms to any lad who desires them. We advise quick action-not often is such an opportunity offered to the public. Frances Duffy leaves a treatise on The l00l Dates of My High School Career to Robert Galloway. Gladys Finnell leaves a twenty-pound volume entitled Brevity, which is a discussion of how to recite concisely and to the point, to Grant McCormack. Evelyn Hallam bequeaths to next year's Agricultural Short Course a laborious editorial entitled Dinner Bells, which will interest the boy farmers more than any other discussion they may hear. John McGregor leaves his athletic record and several medals to Charles Stack. joseph McKinney at last leaves to George VVill Adams a clear and untram- melled Held in the long stubbornly fought conquest of Mohan. Anna Myer leaves in charge of the Buildings and Grounds committee a can of paint to be applied to Miss Power's old friend, the radiator in the lower hall, so that Miss -Power's clothing may not be spoiled by it. Irene Horton wills to cach and every Freshman her voluble and detailed re- citations together with a cl'art showing length of study hours for such preparation. Hattie Louise Baldwin leaves her abilitv for adding the last Word to the historv discussion to Guy Thompson. who will now have at least one word to add. Anna Askew, Bernice Tinges, Gladys Mitchell, Mildred Hack, and Mildred Knuteson leaves their ability to get high grades by memorizing their lessons 'to Evelyn Armstrong and Dorothy Rathbun who are also recommended by the above to use it properly and get results one way or another. Pzlgl' 3.5 THE WIG'WAM 1924 Tom Edinger leaves a complete stable of ponies, covering his entire course. They are to be sold at auction to the highest bidder and the proceeds given to the Honor System to make up for any deficit. John Corkhill tearfully leaves Dorothy Rathbun to the next popular foot-ball hero. Stephen Adsit leaves Ruth St. John to Jerome Pearre, provided Jerome is sufficiently interested to carry on his regular Saturday night dates. Eileen Powell leaves her demure smile to Miss NVilson who is to make use of it on tardy students. Virginia Parshall has left Thornton 1XlcClaughry to die by the wayside or in a monastary, whichever he prefers. It is sincerely hoped that Ethel Romeyn Markland will leave, or lose her ter- rible and tragic temper where no one will ever find it. Mary Noel has recently had a specific gravity determination of her head made and leaves the extraordinary result with Cecil Shepherd who is later to com- pare it with a similar substance-what will the answer be? Ramona Huber, formerly employed by the ruler of Egypt for dusting off the Great Pyramid, leaves her dust mop to Eugene Johnson who could use it to good advantage on his shoes. Clarence Farley upon graduating has agreed to leave his swinging gait to Victor Corrigan. Paul Miller, Miss Power's T. P.. leaves a collection of magazines as an ad- dition to the High School Library. Included in the collection are the following: The VVhiz Bang. Snappy and Saucy Stories. True Confessions. and one lone issue of the Atlantic Monthly. The above mentioned may be found in Seat 17, Row 6, Paul's favorite seat. Mary XVal1ace leaves her ability and skill at facial expression to Mr. Crew, who will need it more or less. Draw your own conclusions. Gladys Arnold leaves the ability to be a small but very important part of the Senior Class to Josephine VVelsh, hoping she can as successfully fill the place. Goldie Barett, Ruth Fischer, Leila Green, and Cecelia Wheeler. as a ouartette, leave their musical and artistic tendencies to Ralph Thompson, George Horback. Vincent Parslrall. and Mr. Crew, respectively. Melvin Good. after four years of unceasing research and experiment, has compiled a book of etiquette in which there is included a chapter on How to Make Yourself Attractive and Popular. This volume, which tells how to proper- ly conduct oneself on all occasions and in all emergencies, what to say and what not to say, he leaves to Bliss Barnett, our most promising Freshman, with the understanding that when Bliss sliall have beccme a sage he shall make any amend- ments which he shall deem fitting and proper and then bequeath it to the school at large, to be placed at the disposal of the entire student body. Melvin suggests that it be adopted, in part at least. as a text in the Commercial department. Eula Potter. after the most careful consideration, agrees to liave her ability to be pleasant on all occasicns, and to be the most popular girl in school. to Vir- ginia Tracey, but admonishing Virginia not to over-do the matter. To George Wlill Adams, VVilliam Vicars leaves his dashing ways with the girls. He also leaves a small gold shield of the nature of a Watch fob, on which there is engraved the numeral 12, to Mr. Huntley. Sincerely hoping that he will henceforth experience no difficulty in remembering the quantity of lemons neces- sary to make a dozen. To this our last will and testament, we. the members of the Senior Class of 1924, do affix our names and seal. this tenth day of June, 1924. JOHN RENNE, .ARTHUR ,.l1AI.LMAN, RAcHAE1. RUTH. PM Pngg THE WIGWAM 1924 Senior Class Prophecy Having wondered what the Class of 1924 were doing and where they were, we decided to make a trip around the world, hitting the high spots. XVe packed our over-night bags and started on our wild goose-chase. XVe bought our tickets to Chicago and we boarded the next train The Speed- way. Wfe heard a cheery voice calling Tickets and we recognized our old friend Mildred Hack. The porter brushed our coats off when we got off at Chicago and we thought she looked familiar. It proved to be Gladys Mitchell and she said she liked her job hne. The trip from Chicago to Niagara Falls was made in quick time. The Cave of the Mists, under the falls, is always a place of interest and whom do you sup- pose we found here? Julius Opperman and Alberta Stephens. They blushingly admitted that they were just married and were spending their honeymoon. XVe congratulated them heartily, wishing them every success. Going to New York, we stopped off at Ithaca to visit Cornell University. Here the president told us that they were trying something new-girls' football. Harold Rittenhouse is coach here and we understand he has several contracts from big universities offered to him. Leaving New York on the S, S. Reliance we sailed for the North Pole and we put on our fur coats before we got there. Here we found Frances Duffy sell- ing gorgeous bathing suits to the Eskimos. Frances has also invented a process for drilling holes in the ice for them to go swimming and she is very popular here, XVe stopped at another cold place, too, Iceland. Frances XVilliams is doing an act of mercy here. She is running a home for stray animals, especially for cats and dogs. In London we met two old friends. The first day we were there we niet Romeyn Markland and Otto E. Huntley. Romeyn is his private secretary as Otli has become a famous lecturer. ' The bright lights of Paris attracted us next and we found that Ople Fosdick owned a hne big clothing establishment on the Rue St. Marie. Ortrude Bidwell is a model here and these two girls are making their business av success. In Vienna we found Lela Beach selling Vienna rolls and in Czecho-Slovakia, Gladys Finnell lecturing on the evils of South VVilmington. The romantic part of us had always wanted to go to Venice and we satisfied ourselves by going. Gondolas are so unique that we hired one to take us a ride rnd our gondolier confided that the most famous gondola was owned by joseph McKinney, the dashing proprietor of Don Cupid. Picking up a local newspaper in Venice we read an advertisement of a board- ing house on the Adriatic sea-coast at Brindisi. Its owners were Irma Malone and Lucile Donley and we noticed in their ad that they guaranteed successful chap- eronage to every unmarried couple. W'e wanted so much to visit them but we had to hurry on. Page 41 1924 g THE WIGWAM Having got the inspiration from the French novels read in Miss Frink's class, we found Mary XX-'allace writing plays in Corsica. . Crossing the Mediterranean Sea,iwe made friends with the captain of the ship who was so nice to us. It turned out to be Tom Edinger but he had changed so much that we hardly knew him. Tom loves sea life. Tunis was our hrst stopping place in Africa and Kenneth Potter is Glee Club director here. His chorus is especially noted for its harmony. Having read The Sheik we naturally wanted to visit the Sahara Desert and so we mounted a lofty camel and started out. The desert apparently appealed to others too. for we met Arthur Tallman and his wife, better remembered as Mary Noel. They were driving their herds hither and thither in search of oases. They said they lived on cocoanuts and reported that diet very beneficial. Going south we went into the French Congo of Africa and here the president introduced us to his Financial adviser and if it wasn't Cecelia Wheeler. In Egypt we went to visit the Sphinx and we saw a mere man doing some- thing to it. Investigating. we found it to be john McGregor painting pastoral scenes on it, This is Johns first big job and he hopes soon to get the pyramid contract. XVe also visited King Tut's Tomb, and as the sand storms are so numerous here. Helen Edwards is kept busy sweeping off the sand on the tomb so that tour- ists may see it. Helen's job is a permanent one to say the least. NVe were informed in Egypt that if we wished to go to Turkey it was neces- sary to cross the Suez Canal. VVe were so glad that we did because one alumna, Bernice Tinges. greeted us here. She operates theilocks here and has the great responsibility of keeping the Mediterranean Sea from rushing into the Red Sea. Crossing into T urkey. we stopped at Bagdad. where we learned that William Vicars was the topic of interest. He had just obtained his thirteenth divorce, an unusual record. XVe are surprised to learn that two of his former wives were P. H. S. alumnae, Goldie Barett and Ruth Fischer. XYe heard that the largest harem in the world was located in Afghanistan and of course we had to see that. But we were surely surprised to find that it be- longed to Clarence Farley. The unusual thing about his many wives is that they are all happy and contented and never Fight over his affections. XYe shifted our course a little and visited Moscow, Russia. Rachael Roth is the leader of the world-famed Cossacks. the finest and wildest horsemen here. Her brilliant hair is the Fiery symbol of their order. In Delhi, India we were told by the natives that the latest sensation was Sig- nor Glenn Leonards Hindu dancers. It is supposed to be a genuine native company but we P. H. S. students could recognize Gladys Arnold. Theo Chamber- lian, Eileen Powell, and Irene Horton among the dusky dancers. In Siam we discovered Melvin Good. a great Christian Science practicioner. The doctors of the country are up in arms against this courageous young apostle of good health without medicinef' Mildred Baker and Clifford Coup joined in a partnership in an attempt to civilize the people of Borneo. XVe were so glad that our friends are doing such fine work in the world. Pugh, 42 C I FFT F THEWTGWAM 1924 D NVe didn't forget that Uncle Bim lived in Australia and so we went to visit him. The wife of the millionaire chinless wonder' is Marie Miller. She reports a very lonely life but her love for Uncle Bim makes up for it. VVe bumped into the Sandwich Islands almost without knowing it, but we heard a great deal about an uprising against the ruler here. Mildred Knuteson hailed us from her royal carriage and certainly surprised us for we didn't dream she was the ruler. Everyone seemed a slave to her will and they seemed to love her too. In the Fiji islands, Marther Shepherd represents the United States as a mis- sionary. The island is inhabited by criminals from every nation and Marth-er's job is a peculiarly difficult one but she seems to be very proficient. Strolling cut on the beach one evening as the sun went down in Hawaii, we heard some beautiful music. It was weird but enchanting and we hastened on, drawn by its irresistible beauty. The performer was Hattie Louise Baldwin play- ing on her ukelele to the fish. The music is much appreciated. Touching the end of South America at Cape Horn, we found Tom Barton owned a large farm here. He makes a specialty of raising educated hogs and his knowledge gained in P. H. S. serves him well in this capacity. In Ecuador Mary Johns and Viola King are running an old men's home. Their ready sympathy has won everyone's admiration. XVe came into the U. S. at Los Angeles and here we met another old friend, Peg Parshall. She was calling Candy, cigarettes, peanuts in that voice we all remembered from P. H. S. football days. She explained that it was society's latest fad there to sell things for charity funds. Of course we couldn't pass Hollywood by and it's a good thing we didn't for we met several 1924 graduates. Kathryn Miller has become a famous movie star, having gained her reputation by her ability to dance so wonderfully. She told us that her maid, Anna Meyer. had accompanied her from Pontiac. We also saw Paul Miller and Gladys Stettbacher on the lot. He has taken Rudolph Valentino's place and the public seems much better satisfied. Gladys is his leading lady. Paul's sideburns were wonderful, We admit. .Torn Renne's genial disposition won for him the enviable position of game tender in Yellowstone National Park. His pockets are always full of sugar lumps and he is very popular with the animals. Having been disappointed in an unsuccessful love affair, Dorothy Fenton Vx as in a cc nvent in Dubuque, Iowa. She told us that she had taken a vow never to marry. Ramona Huber and Evelyn Hallam had established a law firm, taking care of breach of promise suits only. NVhen we visited them, they seemed to be very busv. XVhen we arrived in Pontiac, we found it celebrating over Stephen Adsit's victory as President of the United States. He was running on the International Independent Party ticket and carried it to victory by a large majority. We under- stand he carried Cayuga by the unknown landslide of 33 votes. Puyu 43 4 1924 THE WIGWAM Lots of things had happened in our absence. John Corkill had been married to an old Kempton sweetheart and had succeeded his father in the hardware store. Eula Potter had been given the position of preacher at Rook's Creek. Her oratory and command of English have given her a place among the best of preach- ers. Anna Askew had been made principal of the High School. She tried to be strict but couldn't pronounce 1-2-3 with quite Mr. Koons' dignity. MARY NOEL, RACHAEL ROTH, VIRGINIA PARsHAI.I., STEPHEN ADSIT4, GLENN LEONARD. Goodbye, Old School, we've done a lot together. Your Creed of Sportsmanship has helped our own ideals to grow. VVe've worked for you and fought for you these four short years together But now the XVorld is calling, and it's time for us to go. Goodbye, Old School, you know that we'll rememberg The Truths you've taught us, the ideals we've come to know, And the friendships that we've made here, very dear and very precious, But the VVorld without is calling- , Farewell, for we must go.

M arie Graff Presented by the Junior Class April 11, 1924 john Paul Bart, presser of clothes in the tailor shop of Antin Huber, is a firm believer in Destiny. It is his belief that one opportunity comes to every man, an opportunity that gives him a chance to make good before the world. His comes in an unexpected manner. He deliberately appropriates the dress clothes of the Eng- lish yachtsman. Mr. Jellicot, which were left at the shop to be pressed. In this borrowed finery he attends a reception given at the wonderful million dollar Stan- law home where he captivates all the women guests and finally sells himself to Abraham Nathan, President of the American Oceanic Shipbuilding Corporation, by advancing the new idea of sharing the profits of a concern with its employees. Nathan installs him in his own OFFICE where Bart immediately takes New York by storm. He calls off a strike which would have ruined Nathan flnancially, edits a ' Y Page 51 1924 THE WIGWAM book for Dr. Sonntag, a poverty-stricken German scholar, and becomes a social favorite everywhere, winning the ladies' hearts from little Tanya Huber, daughter of the tailor, the gay widow Dupuy, his own stenographer, Miss Shane, and finally the little social butterfly, Corrine Stanlaw. 5 Things go well for him until Dr. Sonntag, to whom Tanya is engaged, finds Tanya in Bart's office. He is enraged and immediately promises to reveal Bart's identity to the world. Bart calls in his stenographer and dictates the story of his life to the Associated Press and thus gives his own story before Sonntag can get his out. When this story appears John Paul Bart is the laugh of New York. He returns to the tailor shop and in a daze begins to work as if he had been there all the time. Those who find him there snub him and make fun of him until the great Nathan appears and offers him a better place than ever before and Bart returns, with Tanya, to Nathan's office and the work which awaits him there. The play, given April 11th in the new gym, was a huge success from the moment the curtain went up on the First act to the last notes of the orchestra after the play. Everyone did his part well, but especial credit should go to the Tailor- Made Man because of the unusually heavy part which he carried and the excellent way in which he did it. The little French Maid ushers, trained by Miss Graff won hearty encores with their clever little folk dance and their galosh dance given between acts. Page 52'-'T T ' T' -' J THE WIGWAM 192i Junior Class History In the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-two on january thirtieth, a timid little voice was heard in the office and Miss VVilson leaned over her desk to. see a little lad straining his neck as best he could in order to see over the top of the desk. It was little George Adams. XVhere, where am I? he asked, ls this the Assem- bly i All through the day, throughout the building could be heard the patter of little feet running to and fro in search of some long looked for room, or now and then a little voice would falter, Go on, you've got to go first. Yes, this green little class of '25 have had their troubles but they have not been without honors. Our Sophomore year was a long list of successes, notable among which was the capture of first place in the Basketball Tournament. It was also in this year tltat several of the members of this class took honors in the track meet. This class being enthusiastic workers, won the prize for having the largest number of parents present at the Parent-Teacher's meeting held for the purpose of discussing the new building. VVe take oh' our hats to Cyril Shepherd, Eugenia Heath, Thornton Mc- Claughry, and Clara Kipfer who have held the highest honors in school scholar- ship and are still holding their place on the school's Roll of Honor. Stick to it! Were proud of you! Pontiac gave second place to this class during Homecoming for their well- decorated float which added great beauty to the parade. Ask them if they know how to make paper flowers. - In athletics this class has always ranked among the highest. At present six out of the seven on the present basketball team are members of this class and the whole school and many other schools give nine Rahsl' for Cyril Shepherd who was made guard on the all-star team. Chee! Shepherd-Ata-boy. The Junior play was a grand success. Wlhy shouldn't it be? Who could end it up better than George Adams and Dorothy Mohan. Ain't love grand ? judging from the numerous candy, popcorn, and sandwich sales and from the success of the class play there is no doubt but that the Prom of 1924 will prove one to be remembered. , Yea! Juniors, but we are still looking forward with great expectation for a grand and glorious future. ANNA MARIE BIIDDLETON, '25.

At our first meeting we elected as president, Charles Fisherg vice-president, Rosella Duffyg and secretary-treasurer, Lawrence Koons. A few weeks later Charles called a meeting of the class and made plans for a picnic to be held at the Old Clubhouse. The faculty came as guests and all of them seemed to forget their dignified positions as teachers. ' At the beginning of the second semester the members of the class chose the following officrs: Victor Opperman, presidentg Glen Lightholder, vice-presidentg and Virginia Tracy, -secretary-treasurer. H During the Homecoming Celebration in October a part of an afternoon was set apart for a parade. Each class in High School was represented by a floatg ours tried to show the place athletics held in our lives. Although our float did not win a prize several favorable comments were made about it. After the first snowfall plans were made for a bob-sled partyg but the snow melted before the appointed day came, making it very impossible to go. Since we are now on the verge of being Juniors it is going to be a bigger step this time than it was last year.

The game was won in the last quarter when Chenoa scored a goal and made the desired point. EUREKA 6-PONTIAC 38 October 12: Pontiac scored her first victory over Eureka in a rather lopsided game at Pontiac. The P. H. S. eleven showed by this game that they were capable and this game probably did a great deal to help the public and school sentiment which was so strong through the whole season. It was Kiwanis and Rotary day and both clubs attended in a body. SAUNEMIN 0-PoNT1Ac 20 October 20: This, the third game of the season. also played at Pontiac showed the P. H. S. eleven much improved and playing a much better game. The severe walloping which Saunemin received gave the team more confidence and assured a large attendance at all later local games. The game, was not as uneven as the score would indicate and in the first quarter was fairly well contested. FORREST 16-PONTIAC 7 October 27: This, the first game away from home, went to Forrest in a way that was unquestionable. Both teams played a fine game and though Pontiac did not come out victorious she certainly lived up to her slogan, Pontiac fights. Forrest is certainly to be congratulated on this game. FAIRBURY 14-PONTIAC 13 November 10: THE game of the season was played at home and although Pontiac handed the big end of the score to her old opponent, Fairbury, it was a contest which is not soon to be forgotten. The P. H. S. eleven fought like veterans to win the offered cup and lost it only by the close margin of one point. By this date Haussler's Indians were going good, and this is probably one of the best games ever played at Pontiac. CoI.FAx 0-PONTIAC 57 November 16: This was the second complete shut out of the season and al- though Colfax made a valiant effort the game was at no time uncertain. The first half was fairly well contested and only 19 points were gathered but in the last half P. H. S. came back strong and soon ran up the remaining 38 points. DWIGHT 14-PONTIAC 39 Y November 23: The first half of this game which was played at Dwight looked very doubtful for the Pontiac team but in the second half they found themselves and ran the score up to where it was no longer doubtful. A great deal of credit of this game must be given to Meyers who certainly showed the Dwight team real football. McKinney also surprised Pontiac fans by his constant gains through line plunges. NORNIAL O-PoNT1Ac 26 November 29: This was the third shut out of the season as well as the last game. The outcome of this game played on our home held was at no time doubt- ful and although the Normal team fought hard the ball was never for long in their own territory. The P. H. S. in this game were going their best and showed a style to satisfy the most critical. i Page 73 THEWIGWAM A 1924 Basketball CHARLES STACK, capfuiil and forward. Although the smallest man on the team Chuck soon showed himself big enough to fill the place of captain and had his share of scores to his credit at the end of the season. Chuck always showed his fighting spirit throughout every game he entered. F INLEY PATTERSON, center. Finn can always be counted upon to play the game square and Hght hard. As in foot-ball Fin fought from the time the first whistle sounded to the final minute of play. . CYRIL SHEPHERD, guard. Shep is might good at those long shots. He is always there when his opponents get the ball down around their basket. He made such a good showing at the tournament that he earned the place on the first team at one and the place of captain of the second team at the other tournament. ELDON HoLLowAY, guard. Hap could always find his man and keep up with him in any game. Although Hap did not play a spectacular game he was always in the place where he was needed most. GAKLEY VVHITEBREAD, f01'1t'm'd. Although only a Freshman Whitey played some mighty good basketball during the season. We're glad he is a Fresh- man. THL'RI.ow RIYERS, sub forward., Thur was always ready to go into a game when he was needed. He put all he had into his efforts to win and did some good work during the season. These are the men who played the game for the honor of the school, sacrificed a great deal that is dear to all students and as a reward won the much coveted emblem of their work, their letter. Of course, there would be no team in any school if it were not for the scrubs. These boys deserve a great deal of credit for although not very many had a chance to play in the real games, they worked with that goal in view. The second team of P. H. S. arranged a couple of games with the Chenoa second team. They were defeated the first time but showed what they could do the next time. John Corkill and Thorny McClaughry both played in some of the varsity games. Al- though they were not in enough games to earn their letters they worked hard and deserve their share of credit from the school and all those who honor a person who works with a definite goal in view. Although they did not quite reach it they came near to it. There is success in the future for such workers. Page 75 1924 THE WIGWAM Mason City ....

In spite of this Pontiac put up a good fight but the final score shows that Mason City was superior. SAUNEM IN 19-PoNT1Ac 30 Pontiac won their first victory from Saunemin. After a fast game Pontiac came up on the top and won by 6 points. FORREST 11-PONTIAC 7 The Indians went down to their second defeat at the hands of the Forrest quintet. Our team was somewhat handicapped by the size of the gym and Forrest was in the lead most of the time. GARDNER ll-PoNT1Ac 10 Pontiac lost to the Gardner-South VVilly team by a margin of one point in one of the fastest games Gardner has ever witnessed. Gardner had ll straight victories to her credit before this game. In the last two minutes of play the winning basket was made. CHENOA 18-PONTIAC 9 Although handicapped by the small floor and the low ceiling of Chenoa's gym Pontiac put up a stiff and plucky fight. It took' Pontiac until the second half to find out where she was but then she held them to an even score for the half. BLOOMINGTON 19-PONTIAC 7 . Pontiac was defeated in the opening game in the new gym by the Blooming- ton quintet. After the first quarter Bloomington found the basket and began slipping them in. Page 76 THE WIGWAM 1924 FAIRBURY 11-PONTIAC 6 Pontiac met her old time rival, Fairbury, on her own floor and went down to a defeat at their hands. The game was rather uninteresting but the usual rivalry between the two schools made up for this. GARDNER 13-PONTIAC 11 The blue and gold quintet met Gardner in a close game on their own floor. Neither team was in the lead very long. Up to the last quarter of play the score stood 11-11 when a basket was made from the center of the Floor which gave the game to Gardner. GRIDLIQY 19-PoNTrAC 17 In a fast and hard fought game the Indians went clown to another defeat. The Gridley team, as had been stated, was a team made up of one man with four assistants. The County Tournament Q Fairbury came out on the top after a hard fought and sensational game. One of the greatest crowds that ever witnessed the wind-up of the County Tournament saw Fairbury come out the victor over Pontiac in the last minute of play. Cornell won third place by defeating Forrest after a fast game, 17-11. FORREST 7-PONTIAC 12 Pontiac turned the tables and this time defeated Forrest in a close game. Neither team was ahead for very long at one time, but Pontiac was ahead when the Final gun shot. SAUNEMIN 12-PoNT1Ac 18 Pontiac added another victory to her list by defeating Saunemin in one of the most exciting games of the season. The game was a tie at the end of the fourth quarter and in the over-time period that was played Pontiac located the basket and thus came out the winner. CH ENOA 10-PONTIAC 19 Pontiac ended her pre-district season by defeating Chenoa in a hotly contested 19-10 victory. The Chenoa quintet broke loose in the beginning but the blue and gold boys were soon up and counting. . The District Tournament PONTIAC, MARCH 6, 7, AND 8 SCHEDULE THURSDAY FRIDAY 1.

FAIRBURY 10-CORNELL 19 In an over-crowded gym, Fairbury was decisively defeated by Cornell, who now has the chance to battle for state honors. Lindquist was, as usual, the star of the game. Congratulations, Cornell! You are worthy of the honor. EUREKA 16-LEXINGTON 19 Althought not as interesting to the majority of the spectators as was the Championship game, Eureka and Lexington put up a mighty good fight for third place and it was only by a margin that Lexington came out the victor.

Now since we have as good a town and gym as anyone in the district we are look- 3 ing forward to manymore tournaments in Pontiac. Page 79 THE WIGWAM 1924 Track The first Track Meet of the season was held at Pontiac, with Bloomington, Chenoa, Gridley and Pontiac competing. Gridley went away with first honors with 47 points due to Merle Ririe, the'Gridley flash, who captured six firsts. Blooming- ton was second with 32 points, Chenoa third with 20 and Pontiac fourth with 18. Those taking honors for Pontiac were these: Upham Csecondj shot put.

The relay race was won by Gridley, Chenoa second and Pontiac third. The Pontiac Track Team went to Gridley and were entered in the Gridley Relay Carnival, in which 24 other schools competed. Thornton McClaughry had the honor of capturing the only first won by the Pontiac entrants. Pontiac took second in the Freshman Relay and tied El Paso for second in the two-mile relay. Several records were broken at this meet. Merle Ririe of Gridley took a whole second from the record for the 80-yard dash, making it in 8 flatg while Grid- ley's one-mile relay team made the run in 3:47 smashing Chenoa's old record by 5 and 4-5 secondsg Bloomington High won the medley sprint relay in 4:03 for another new mark. Gridley's freshman relay team hung up a record of 1:44 :4. Ririe also made a new record for the 60-yard hurdles at 7 3-5 seconds. Pontiac won first honors at the track meet held at Chenoa in which Chenoa, Colfax, Normal and Pontiac were entered. Pontiac was first with 54 points, Chenoa second with 33, Colfax third with 28 and Normal who only had a partial entry counted only two points. Those from Pontiac who placed were the follow- mg: Stack Csecondj 100-yard dash. Patterson Csecondj javelin throw. Myers ffirstj quarter-mile run. Corkhill tfirstj 220-yard dash. McKinney Cthirdj quarter-mile run. Stack tthirdj 220-yard dash. McCormick Csecondj half-mile run. Leonard ffirstj 100-yard hurdles. Stack Cfirstj running broad jump. Myers Csecondj 100-yard hurdles.

Pontiac placed first in the one-mile relay race for freshman and second in the open half-mile relay race. After the meet at Chenoa. Coach Haussler, Captain Myers and Thornton Mcfflaughry went on to Peoria to enter the Bradley interscholastic. Captain Myers entered the quarter-mile run in which he placed fifth and McClaughry placed fifth in the running high jump. PIIUL7 81 1924 THE WIGWAM , The Livingston County Track and Field Meet As it was last year so it was this year. It rained for the County Meet held at Fairbury. Forrest carried off first honors with 26 points, Pontiac second with 25 and Fairbury third. Keeley of Forrest and Bennet of Chatsworth were the high point men of the meet, each winning three firsts making 15 points for their teams. Bennet won the two jumps and also captured the pole vault, in which event he set a new record at ten feet 9M inches. This was the only event in which the previous record was broken. Those placing in the event for Pontiac were these: Corkill fsecondj 50-yard dash. Myers fthirdj 440-yard run. Stack fthirdj 100-yard dash. McCormick ffirstj 880-yard run. Shepherd fthirdj mile run. Stack Csecondj broad jump. Stack fthirdj 220-yard dash. Woodfine fthirdj broad jump. Myers ffirstj 220 low hurdles. McClaughry fthirdj high jump. Leonard fsecondj 220 low hurdles. Pontiac took first in the relay race which, if it had been counted, would have given the meet to Pontiac. Forrest was second and Fairbury third. The Pontiac Relay Team is composed of Corkill, Woodfine, Myers and Stack. In the literary events of the Livingston County Meet, Pontiac and Dwight high tied for first honors, each winning 11 points. Those who were entered from Pontiac, were Gladys Finnell, orations, Claudine Shepherd, who took first in the serious declamations, and Bernadine Brinkman, who won second in the humorous declamations. In the chorus contest Dwight won first, Pontiac second and Chats- worth third. After the County Meet Coach Haussler with Stack, Opperman, Myers and McClaughry went on to Decatur where those athletes were entered in the Millikin meet. Captain Myers took third place in the low hurdles and McClaughry took second in the running high jump. The General Athletic Situation When the last school year ended the high school had just been reinstated in the State Athletic Association. Coach Haussler came to the school and started out to make a winning team without very many boys who had had much experience in any of the different sports. By the hard work in practice of the boys with the Coach they succeeded in shaping out a winning football team. At the football banquet Bill Berger who played end the entire season was elected as the one to guide the next year's crew through as successful a season as the one they had this year. Although the scores of the different games do a great deal in showing the strength of the team, mere figures cannot show the grit, the determination and the fight which our team displayed throughout the year. This, with the good coaching and loyalty displayed by the student body, went to make a successful team. Page 82 THE WIGWAM 1924 When the basketball season opened the new gym was in readiness. The boys went there every night and practiced and kept the training rules.so that when they went into their first game they were in a fit condition and ready to give all opponents a good run for victory. In both tournaments our team with their splendid coaching showed up in a splendid way. Then track season opened. The boys practiced long hours in the gym before the weather permitted them to venture out on the field for practice. The Coach, by his untiring efforts and interest in team and school developed some real stars out of the good material that he had to work with. Captain Myers and Mc- Claughry both showed up for Pontiac in a splendid way in both the Bradley Interscholastic Meet and the meet held at Millikin. Near the close of track season baseball practice was begun. This is the first time in several years that Pontiac High School has endeavored to turn out a base- ball team. We are sure that with Coach Haussler's training they will have a successful season. Out of eight football games Pontiac won five and out of twelve basketball games they won five. The track team took fourth place in their first meet, second in the next one and first in another. They improved with practice and experience. Page 83 1 Mary Vicars-Forward. Mary Noel-Forward. THE WIGWAM 1924 Girls' Basketball Early in the fall the girls began practicing basketball under the supervision of Miss Graff. Miss Graff has endeavored to teach them more of the technique of the game than last year. The different class teams met and elected one of their number as captain. Those elected are as follows: Senior-Marie Miller, Junior-Rosella Duffy, Sophomore-Myrtle Balmer and Freshman-Harriet Shaw. The first game of the tournament, between the Seniors and Freshmen, was faster than the score seems to indicate and the Senior forwards had to Fight to get the points that they did. The score was 25-l. The Sophomore-Junior game was about a duplicate of the Hrst game, the game ending with a score of 24-4. The third game of the tournament was the Championship game between the Seniors and Juniors. The game was fast and a hard fight for both teams. The score was rather one-sided most of the time but the Seniors finally succeeded in ringing in enough baskets to make it a tie, the score being 7-7 when the final whistle sounded. The game for third place was won by the Freshman. At the end of the game the score was announced as 7-7 but after rechecking the score the score stood 9-7, much to the delight and relief of the Freshies. After the games of the tournament were played the following teams were selected: Fnasr TEAM SECOND TEAM Marie Miller-Forward, Captain. Helen Edwards+Center. Dorothy Rathbun-Side Center.

RALPH THOMPSON, '27, Page 87 1924 THE WIGWAM His Son He was a big man-big in every sense of the word: tall, with very broad shoulders, a large expanse of chest, large hands, large feet. Add to these a pair of clear gray eyes which had the laughter wrinkles at their corners, a fine wide mouth and even white teeth above a firm, determined chin, a bronzed skin which showed marks of having lived in close communion with rain and sun and earth for several years, and you have a fair description of Thomas Burton, explorer and mining operator, as he stood waiting for the return of the maid in the drawing- room at Exeter---A School for Boys, thirty miles out from Blanton, Phila- delphia. , He was nervous, not only because he felt uncomfortably awkward in the con- fines of a drawing-room that showed signs of culture and refinement even to him who had been so long away from anything that bespoke of civilizationg but because he was waiting for his son+his boy whom he had not seen for more than seventeen years-waiting anxiously and still fearfully, for he was not sure whether his tailor had made his clothes absolutely in the latest mode Che had stopped off in New York to become presentable to society as he called the dean and boys of the school.j And besides this, he was a little shy of receiving the boy-he did want so badly to come up to parf' in his sight, and that of his school-fellows. The maid came in with the news that junior is outside with a class now, sir. I-Ie will probably be back in an hour, and will be sent to you thenf' Thomals Burton, Senior, removed his top coat and sat down to wait as patiently as possible the arrival of his son. Let me see, -so his musings ran- the lad must be over eighteen years old by this time. I would that he might have followed the indications he showed when he was but eight months old-a healthy youngster, and as husky a one as any man would ask in a son. It canit be though, for his aunt said he was a book-worm, interested in all kinds of old histories and wars and things. Pshawl how I used to hate that kind of a fellow in school! If only Louise might have lived, it would have been quite different, I know. She was always interested in things that grow out-of-doors, and really loved the joyfof camp life nearly as much as I do myself. That certainly was the happiest two years of my life-the time we spent together in the Great West-hunting, fishing, exploring many old paths and trails that only the Indians had traveled before, discovering new little streams and valleys-and all the time she was the best little sport ever. Never complained on the hard marches, or the small rations that we were often forced to endure during a storm or because of some delay, never a murmur of lonesomeness when she stayed alone at camp for days at a time while I was at work some place way off-always cheerful, and a regular pal. VVhy couldzft God have spared her to me? NVell, after my job in Arizona was finished we came back to New York to see where my next one was to be. Then Junior came. How well I remember that day! I guess I was about the proudest man in all New York for awhile, and yet I was terribly afraid for Louise, but, like the plucky sport she always was, she pulled through all right. Page 88 THE WIGWAM 1924 Then came the summons-my firm offered me a job in Siberia. It was a wonderful chance-one that I'd hoped and waited for for years, for it was a huge undertaking, and any man who could make a success of it Cand I determined to do soj, would have his name made, as well as his fortune. But, the doctor said Louise absolutely could not go with our new song that she could not stand the forced hardships after a long ocean voyage, fthat was before the day of steamersj and though she wanted to, I would not risk it. God! how I hated to leave her! But I wanted-later-the home that we had planned, besides all the luxuries that I purposed to give her when I should come back. So I went, and left her and the boy with her younger sister and her husband in New York. The next three years I worked harder than I ever had in my life before, looking forward all the while to the time when I might be with my beloved wife once again. Then came the shock-a letter from her sister saying that Louise had died three months before ffor mail was few and far betweenj. The message stated, in a very few words, that death liad come suddenly, did not say by what it had been caused, or go into any detail. After that it is almost a blank to me. I only know that I worked, worked, worked, with a deep remorse in my heart and com- plete darkness of grief acting as a seemingly heavy blanket which kept me from my companions, and changed my character completely, that is, I thought it was changed. It was only hidden. After a long time came another letter from Mary, Louise's sister, asking about Juniorls life, what he should be taught, where he should be sent to school, and other questions about his general welfare. In my grief and despair over the loss of the boy's mother, I had almost forgotten about the boy himself. But this reminder brought me to life-I had completed my first job and several others, had collected much money, but had thought of it only as a burden, for of what use was it? All my plans and dreams were of no use now for I could not carry them out alone. But here was an in- centive, a part of my own Hesh and blood, who would probably enjoy most any- thing I would give him. So I wrote Mary to send my lad to Exeter, dear old Exeter, where I received my first learning and ambitions, then, fixed up things out there as quickly as I could and came home. Now here I am, and my boy will be here any minute, and I don't know what to do-Oh, if only Louise were here to help me and to stand by me V' And the big man sat and stared at the unfamiliar surroundings, for the school was quite changed from the time when he had been Tom Burton, chief hero of the smaller boys at Exeter. Then, seeing a group of boys on the campus, who were running around enjoying their short freedom from books, he was attracted to take a stroll around and discover a little about the life his son had followed for the last several years. So, glancing at his watch and finding that there still re- mained a half of his appointed hour, he started out toward the football field, back of the main building, because it was there that his chief interest had lain during his own school life. Page 89 1924 THEWIGWAM Yes, the squad was out and indulging in some pretty stiff scrimmage. The clear. crisp signals of the quarterback, the sharp commands of their coach, the running back and forth, the plucky tackling, and the grand old jerseys of scarlet and black, all thrilled Thomas Burton's soul to the core, for he loved the game and was never happier than when participating in some such sport. My-how he wished his boy could have been as one of these, that broad- shouldered center, maybe. It was he who was, indeed, the center, always on the bottom of the pile, holding on to his man as though his life depended on it, evidently the team's captain, for his was the voice which rang out with enthusiastic backing of his men, and hearty cheer. But no, it could not be, for Mary had said that junior was one of the leaders of his class, and no book-worm could play football like that! God! see that boy's figure-muscles tense, his eyes, his bare head with its coal black hair and clean-cut features easily distinguishable among the group. How proud he would be of such a son! Then, feeling rather tired and worn-out, he knew not why, Burton walked slowly back to wait again and to prepare himself for the ordeal-he fully expected it to be an ordeal-which he had to face. After a quarter of an hour or so, he heard footsteps and looked up to greet his son-his son whom he must love.- ln the doorway stood the tall form of the center-the team's captain-could it be, Oh could it be that this boy whom he had admired so much was his very own son? But no, for Mary had said- Then, Dad ! It was his son. A SoPHoMoRE. There's nothing like a good broad smile For helping things along, It makes the darkest places light And tunes the soul to song. There's nothing like a kindly word For bucking up a chumg The beaming eye, the friendly grip Can help a fellow some! With work, good cheer, and kindliness, And laughter up your sleeve, This queer old world's not so bad As some folks would believe! -Exchange. Page 90 THE WIGWAM 1924 . One of Them W Fox River on a july morning was a strip of winding grey green water. Summer homes nestled comfortably in among the trees and shrubs. Standing at the edge of the water a young girl was watching the sun in its timely course to wake the universe. How quickly it seemed to chase all the mist away and dry up the iridescent dew-drops. She closed her eyes-they were pretty eyes. The plunk, plunk of the row- boats and the swishing gurgle of canoes as they slid through the water with the tiny waves lapping against their sides, the twittering of the newly awakened birds -Oh, how she loathed it! XVhy had her mother ever selected such a stupid place-such a dilapidated town? The girls were simply impossible! Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if there were some men but these cakie boys-as if she would look at them. O yes, men there were in abundance-middle-aged ones with increasing waist lines, men who talked of golf all afternoong old ones who played chess or talked of fishing, of handling nasty, scaly fish, or a proud old centenarian who strutted about with four or five grandchildren. But where, O where were all the young ones? Bernice at seventeen was a girl who would bear looking at twice. She had lovely dark brown hair, understanding grey-blue eyes, a perfect red mouth. Her nose was straight and exquisitelyshaped, giving her a tantalizing look, particularly to the men. Bernice was trying to be temperamental or some other exasperating manner, in fact, that was the reason she was up so early in the morning. It was also the reason she did not care to associate with the young people of the town. She thought it rather individual and different to be alone-and she was alone! VVith a practiced sigh she turned and walked with languid step back to the yellow cottage, among the tiny poplars and maple shrubs some twenty-five yards from the river bank, now converted into a summer-resort. It was time for breakfast. She did not want breakfast. How foolish it was to arrange things in such a systematic order! Luncheon-then tea-at last the afternoon dragged itself dismally away. Dress for dinner. Again? Must all her life be made up of nothing but dressing for breakfast, luncheon, dinner? Idly she selected a white crepe dress with a green ruffle down the front, green shoes, and a small white hat with a touch of green. The dining room-pongee curtains, Howers, the chink of iced tea glasses, soft laughter. V Oh, for a new face, thought she. Eagerly her eyes swept the room. Over there-surely she had never seen him before-brown hair, blue eyes. How perfectly glorious! Quieting her excitement, but not the flutter of heart beats which accompanied it, she asked her father in a casual tone who he was. Don Harding, he replied. Page 91 5-n.,,- 1924 THE WIGWAM Not the Don Harding who played in Sold By on Broadway F The same, was the reply. Bernice ate little that evening. How perfectly gorgeous he was. Had she ever seen such marvelous wavy hair before? After dinner Mr. and Mrs. Pierce of Chicago joined them to play bridge, and with them was Don Harding. Vffell, it all happened. She didnit remember how. The last thing she heard was Don's voice asking her mother if he might take her canoeing. The moon swung low, its long lingers touching with magic the rippling waves of Don's skillfully marceled hair. The canoe, like a keen blade, cut through the silvery water. How she adored it alll Here was a man of her ideals at last. Do you believe in love at first sight, Mr. Harding F she asked. He smiled and did not answer. But, nevertheless, Bernice, with all her feminine instincts, divined his meaning and with a thrilling feeling knew that he was almost in love with her. For a boy to fall in love with her on such short notice was by no means an unusual matter. Call me Bernice, please, she begged. It seems so much more friendly. Do you know I have a feeling that we are going to be such good friends ? I should be pleased if we were, Miss-er-Bernice, he said-eagerly she thought. Do you believe in platonic friendship ? she asked again, and Don Harding, man of the world and hero of the play Sold By -smiled at the pranks of the American girls. In a dream-a lovely dream-the canoe was docked and he helped her out. How long he held her hand. She did not mind. He had told her of his work- he was confiding in her--and was that not always the first step in the progress of love? Bernice had decided and her future was settled. She did not see him the negt morning. Oh yes, she remembered he was going to the station, probably to meet another man from New York. VVell, that would be even better. Luncheon time came and still her Don failed to make his appearance. At dinner he was seen coming through the lobby. There was with him-a woman. Probably his mother, thought she. Looking up, he called Bernice. He was going to introduce herg he would want his mother to know her. y Here, dear, is the pretty young lady I told you about. Wasn't that adorable? She liked men to call their mothers dear. Miss Creer, I want you to meet my wife. Fox on a july evening, Not a young man was in sight. A young girl sat on a sand bar, Crying with all her might. She stopped her tears and closed her eyes,-the sweet odor of evening-how she loathed it,-dreadful old Fox river! . RALPH COSART, '26, Ipiige 92 II THE WIGWAM 1924 43-24-1 8-3 1 It was the day of the football game with Yale. Harvard was on its way to Yale five thousand strong. The dismal features were the facts that the Harvard quarter had been hurt in a previous game and a sub of the freshman class would have to play the whole game, and that the rest of the team did not have much faith in Jack Steel, the new sub. Jack and his friend Ralph Gordon sat in a Pullman discussingthe game and its outcome. After reaching Yale they went to the hotel, had a training dinner and pro- ceeded to the Held. W'hen they entered the field a cheer arose that almost deafened them. just before the game started, the players in the dressing room and the captain talked to them. ' It's our last game, he said, Every man must play faster and harder than he ever did before if we expect to win. If every man fights his hardest we can win. Remember, the whole U. S. awaits the results of this game. Are you ready? Come on! With this last remark ringing in their ears the team went out on the field, determined to win or die. Harvard won the toss up and chose the north goal. As Jack crouched waiting till the kick off, something surged through him as he thought of the thousands of people watching himg and that he, .a freshman of Harvard, was to lead Harvard through this game to a victory. The whistle blew and the great game had begun! The ball shot through the air impelled by the terriffic force of the captain's kick and Jack was away after it like a shot. A back crashed into him but he did not fall. He saw only the flying runner and with a tiger-like leap he crashed into him and rolled headlong into the earth with the runner's legs pinioned in his arms. A great shout arose from Harvard and Yale sank back in dismay. The boy heard the shout and the honor of it stopped the pain which the collision had caused him. The next play was launched without a signal and Yale gained ten yards before the runner was smothered by jack, the captain and the full-back. Without signal again, the second play came, but it was met squarely and the runner only had one vard to his credit. On the third play, Halpin, the Yale end, had the ball on an end run. Jack was after him, running like a race horse to ward off the impending dan- ger. He realized that he had to bring the man down or Yale would get a touch- down. VVith his reputation at stake, he ran, then leaped, and a shout like thunder went up from the grand stand as Jack brought the runner down. Page 93 1924 THE WIGWAM In the next two plays Yale did not gain but lost and they dropped back to kick. Steel back, shouted Captain and Jack raced out into the open field. Scarcely had he reached there before he saw the ball surging clown the field. - I have it,', cried the captain and Jack sprang in front of him and smashed into the oncoming ends, and all came down with terrific force. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty yards, shot away beneath the captain's feet before he was hauled down, and all knew that the tide of victory had turned. It was Harvard's ball, only thirty yards from the goal. Jack sprang into position, his plan of attack all formed in his head. The noise was so great that Jack had to order the team to the rear and shout his signal to them. Watson, K the endj you must make it. Every man must play for every bit that is in him. And Watson responded with all the power of his great muscular body. He plunged for eight yards before he was hurled to the ground by the Yale backs. Come on, come on l shouted the little quarter back. And every man felt the force of his leadership. With a tandem on tackle he leaped into the line, lifting, pushing, hurling on the runner until at last with a great burst of energy he sank with VVatson across the goal line, and Harvard had scored her touch down. You're working like a locomotivef, said the Captain. The Captain kicked goal and then the whistle for the half blew. After the kick-off, the teams fought back and forth across the center of the field. Jack was eager to get the ball himself and his wish was granted unexpectedly. The Harvard captain made a fumble. The ball dropped to the ground and as quick as a Hash, Jack snapped it up on the bounce and sprang in behind the inter- ference. A back plunged at him, got a hold, but he broke it and was away, struggling and panting-then before him lay the goal. The goal! The chalk marks leaped beneath his feet, but before them stood the goal! Thirty, forty yards he had sped leaving all pursuers behind, and then a crouching figure appeared in front of him. The next instant something happened and Jack imagined himself Hying, sinking, sailing, whirling through empty space. The lad was out of the game. While a stretcher bore his limp body to the side lines, the runner that had tackled him was carried from the Held. But Jack had placed the ball so near the goal that Swayne, the Harvard quar- ter. who had been hurt, got the ball over the goal. VV hen Jack become conscious, he heard Ralph yelling and shouting. 'What's the matter, Ralph! what's the matter! he exclaimed. Nothing's the matter, you little hero,', shouted Ralph. VVe've licked 'em to death. With a score of 17 to Sf, CLAUDINE SHEPHERD. Page 94 THE WIGWAM 1924 Martha It was a sultry morning in July. Martha Spenser had been busy ironing and now the last piece was about finished. The patter of little feet was heard coming across the porch, then the screen door closed with a bang. There was a pause, then- Martha! Oh Martha! VVhere are you ? was heard. Here, Danny boy, answered Martha, in the kitchen ironing. XVhere have you been? I haven't seen nor heard you for nearly two hours. Have you and Pal been into mischief ? By this time Danny had reached the kitchen and proved to be a boy about seven years of age, with a shock of yellow curls, dark-blue eyes, and a very clear complexion. He was a rather sorry looking Danny who came and stood beside Martha and that he was bursting with something very important to tell, Martha could see readily. Well, Danny, what is it? Out with it, what's the trouble now ? Oh Martha! I've had the best timeg Pal and I have been down to the river. And we met the nicest man there. He was fishing, or at least that was what he said he was doing, but he didn't get even one little fish all the time I was therel. But he didn't mind and we just had the most fun. Pal did all his tricks for him, and he said Pal was an awful smart dog. Oh! we iust talked about everything, and he says for me to come tomorrow and see him, 'cause he's sick and he's come from the city out here in the country to get fresh air, and I can go! can't I Martha? He's so lonesome looking. I know he wants me to comeg you'll let me go, won't you Martha ? , She had listened very thoughtfully to all Danny had said, and a look of doubt which crept into her eyes made Danny plead very earnestly to be given permission to go. Well, I guess you may go, but you niust not bother the man with a lot of questions when he is trying to rest. Now run and wash your hands and face, for dinner is about ready. Dinner over and the dishes washedg Danny and Pal gone over to play with a neighbor boy-Martha took her sewing and had just nicely seated herself on the front porch in the cool shade, when the front gate clicked. Looking up, she saw Danny coming up the walk crying as if his heart would break and Pal trotting along looking up wonderingly into his face. Martha dropped her sewing and waited at the top of the steps. Then taking the little fellow up in her arms she carried him over to the rocker and sat with him on her lap. Now, Danny, dear, tell me all about it. Oh, Martha, you are my sister ain't you? and I'm your brother ain't I? I did have a mother and father, didn't I? And oh, Martha! you didn't get me from an asylum did you-and I'm not an orphan am I-Martha, you are my real sister, ain't you ? Poor Martha-for the last few years s.ie had hoped and prayed that Danny would never know the truth-that she was not his real sister, but after her mother had died, the house had been so still that she couldn't stand it any longer, and Page 95 1924 THE WIGWAM was about to leave for a while, when she had seen Danny's picture in the paper with this little inscription below, Please, may I come and live at your house? That had been nearly live years ago and Martha had lived in constant dread that Danny would learn of it and come home just this way. And now what was she to say? Hugging the sobbing little figure closer to her she rocked back and forth vainly trying to think of something to say. At last, Why Danny, who told vou that P The-the boys over at D-Dick's s-said s-so, replied Danny between sobs. It ain't sog is it Martha ? Poor Martha-what should she say? She was silent so long that at last Danny looked up at her. He dashed the tears from his eyes and exclaimed, XVhy Martha, you're crying too! VVhat's the matter ?,' Oh Danny l said Martha still hugging him tightly, what the boys said was true, but don't you see you are my little brother for I adopted you and you had a father and mother who were very line people. But they both died when you were a tiny baby and so there was no one to take care of you. That is why you were taken to the asylum. There I found you, and now you are my brother. By this time Danny had straightened up and wiped the tears away. NVhen Martha finished, he said with a sigh, Well, I'm glad I had a father and a mother, but oh! I do so wish I wasn't an orphan. Next morning it was a rather sober Danny who came through the tall grass to the great tree where his friend of yesterday was resting in the shade, patiently waiting for his little friend to come. He was very much taken up with Danny and somehow his thoughts kept wandering to this Martha, Danny had talked so much about. He had not asked Danny who she was, but from all Danny had said, she must be a wonderful person. Oh, there you are. little comrade, said he as Danny stepped before him. I beat you here, you see. My! My what a long face for such a little fellow as you to be wearing. VVhat's the matter, wouldn't Martha give you any bread and jam this morning? Sit down and tell me all about it. XVell. I guess vou'd be feeling just like I do if vou was same as me. said Danny, as he seated himself beside his friend. I'n1e-I'm an orphan. And the tears began to gather in his eyes, but he tried bravely to blink them back. Now isn't that about the worst trouble a fellow could have? Course I got Martha and there couldnt anybody be better'n her, but she ain't even my real sister. I'm just adopted. Oh dear, I don't know what I will do. VVell, is that all that's troubling you. XVhy. Danny, I'm an orphan too, but you are lots better off than I, for you have Martha and I havenft anybody but myself. You-an orphan! said Danny, his eyes opening wide in amazement, and don't vou crv about it. 'fXVell sonny, I did use to cry about it. but I found out it didn't do any good. So I just made up my mind I wasn't going to let that stop me from having a good time. But you are so much better off than Ig why you have Martha and you must think about her, for some day perhaps she will need you to take care of her. Pagr 93 THE WIGWAM 1924 So you see you have somebody to work for, while I-I just work for myself, he Finished with a sigh. ' just then a light Swish in the grass caused both to turn around and there coming towards them was a beautiful young woman with a basket on her arm. Pal gave a joyous bark, and Danny uttered a delighted Oh ! jack Barkley, for such was the young man's name, quickly rose to his feet. Well, said Martha, for it proved to be she, I've had such a time finding you two. You see, said Martha turning to jack, he has been telling me about you-the sick man he met here, but I'm sure you don't look very sick to me. I thought perhaps-well you see, stammered poor Martha, I thought from what Danny told me you were here to rest-and-well anyway I fixed up a little lunch for you two, and I must go right back. She set the basket down and was about to leave when jack said, Oh, please don't go, stay and have lunch with us. We would enjoy it so much more, wouldn't we, Danny ? Oh yes, yes! Please stay, Martha, and he's an orphan too, exclaimed Danny. Martha looked up quickly. Yes, replied jack, Danny was telling me all about it, but I told him that although I am an orphan, too, he is much better off than I, for he has you and I have no one. The lunch was soon spread and a jolly meal it was. Jack kept wondering when he had enjoyed a picnic lunch so much. and oh how good every thing tasted. For an hour or more, they lingered over the lunch. Danny and Pal had wandered off in search of flowers and Martha and Jack, all unconscious of the passing of time, were enjoying themselves talking of books, for both were very fond of read- ing. Suddenly Martha realized that it was late in the afternoon, so with a hurried excuse she began to gather up the remains of the lunch. May I accompany you home P asked Jack. Certainly, if you wish, replied Martha, but where is Danny F There he is-coming with a bouquet of flowers. Come, Danny, we're going home now. Danny came up flushed and happy with his flowers. Here Martha, ain't they pretty? I found them over there in the woods. Oh, are you going home with us P he exclaimed as he turned to jack, who nodded. Oh, goody, goody, and he and Pal started off at full speed. Then followed many happy days not only for Danny and Pal but for Martha and jack as well, and as the summer began to draw to a close, Jack was more and more reluctant to leave for the city. At last came the letter calling him back to the city and work. The night before he left he and Martha sat and talked a long time, and when he finally left, it was with a promise from Martha that she and Danny would come and live with him in the city, so that he as well as Danny would have Martha, even if they were orphans. EVELYN SCHUTZ, '26. Page 97 1924 THE WIGWAM The Touching Tale of a Boy's Struggle to Success in Spite of Wealth and a Well Spent Youth In 1859, in the little town of Biggsville, Iowa, two boys were born. One was named George Allen, and a hither-to Unsubstantiated Rumor has it that he was born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth. The other was named james Jones, and his father was a poor man who ate supper in his Stocking Feet. At the age of six, when jimmy started to school he had already brushed shoulders with the World, and it was the general consensus of opinion in his set that he was a Hard Guy. The most serious Offense which l'as been traced to George up to this 'time is the occasion in the early spring of 1864 when he Talked Back to the post-man. Jimmy's school career was not a Howling Success from the standpoint of Scholar- ship. Let it be said in his favor, however, that from the third grade up he was the Undisputecl Pugilistic Champion of his school. George always led his classes. He made a Chum of his Teachers. He never got ink on his clothes, nor did he pull Little Girls' hair or throw Snow Balls at them. He always ran straight Home after school and told his Mother everything. In 1875 George completed High School as Valedictorian of his Class. Four years later james was graduated al- though rumor has it that he had to threaten to lick the principal in order to get his Diploma. And now, Gentle Reader, your indulgence while with a careless sweep of the Pen. we nonchalantly brush away twenty years and reveal Biggsville, in the days of the Spanish-American VVar. There is quite a crowd around the window of the Biggsville Bugle for the reports from the Battle Front have just been posted and one of the items read, Colonel George Allen was killed in the fighting around Santiago. Who, says the Drummer with a little mustache, is that Old Drunk who just walked away? He looked as if he had lost his last friend. Oh, him, replies the Native Son, Oh, that's only old Jimmy Jones. Moral: NVhen it comes to shaping Character, the Amateur Author has Heredity and Environment hacked off the Boards. Page 98 THE WIGWAM 1924 The Guillotine's Last Victim I am not morbid. The most distressing person possible is the pessimistic biped, for you cannot call him a man, who persistently confronts you with the grave-yard face. You can actually picture the oak-leaf wreath around his neck and. do you not earnestly wish it were tight enough to choke him off? Yes, I really am optimistic as the day is long. My wife tells me-but what is that to you! She is always telling something. You will have to excuse my peramblating way of beginningg but I do hate being dismal. But dismal, yes gruesome things break in upon the pleasant monotony of life in a way that is most disturbing. They say an honest confession is good for the soul, Well- M. Gorner Colteaux had been a friend of my father. In fact, in my younger days he was Uncle Col to me. As any collection of oddities will attract a child. and Colteaux had, perhaps, the most unique collection to be found in private keep- ing, I had spent many pleasant days ruminating about the quaint old house far out on the Rue de Grandeys. It was peculiarly isolated from all passersby by a high hedge which entirely encircled the spacious lawn. The main part of the house had been built much over a century agog but many rambling additions had been built on in various angles from the house. The largest addition is the one in which the unhappy incident that I am about to tell to you occurred. In all Paris. in my estimation, there is no more interesting room to be found. Here may be found the skeleton of the long-tailed archaeopteryx, the leathery- winged pterodactyl, and the reptilian megatherium of the prehistoric age. In this corner of the high vaulted room is a fantastic jumble of death masks, javelins. catapults, shields, and other antiquities of ancient Rome. Encased in a huge glass case on this side are 'South Sea Island musical instruments, choice Grecian pottery, a North American Indian's death outfit, and innumerable other treasuresg yes, practically everything that either you or I could possibly imagine. But the pride of Colteaux was centered in a relic of his own French Revolution, a much- battered, poorly-constructed bloody guillotine. The mere presence of such an in- strument of death towering in the center of such a room would have made the ordinary man shudder. But to M. Colteaux any suggestion of repulsion towards his most beloved relic would have seemed ludicrous. This evening of late October I came to the realization that I had not been to see the old gentleman for some over a month. In writing up a recent discovery of the Mastodonsaurus I had come to a difficulty which I was not able to solve. I determined to utilize this evening in going out to the house of M. Colteaux. It was a particularly disagreeable damp, chill night. As I rode along the nearly deserted streets, fitful gusts of wind rattled the windows of my taximetre spraying it with tiny misty particles until the Windows were so hazy that the street lights appeared to be merely specks of passing luminance. I could not have chosen a more dismal night in which to go to M. Colteaux than the one I did. Afterwards I have often wondered why that ominous foreboding of some dread calamity did not send 'me'-back, spare me the terrible shock that was awaiting -me. But just as if I were impelled on by the spirit of that night, I rode on. I bade a reluctant good-bye to my cocher, any kind of a companion being acceptable just then. The tall hedge was sullenly swishing to the momentum of TY Page 99' 1924 THE WIGWAM the brewing storm. A dead silence pervaded everywhere, the diminishing clatter of the taximetre leaving me with a feeling of being deserted, hopelessly deserted. An overwhelming wave of inertia held me outside that hedge gate, but gathering together the remnants of my will-power, I scurried up the long, graveled path. Laughing at myself for such unfounded nervousness, I ran up the stairs, and, having been in the habit of walking right in as M. Colteaux kept only one servant, his housekeeper, I opened the door and entered the hall. It was cheery enough in appearance. but still that heavy foreboding of evil persisted. I do not know what it was, but, not receiving an answer to my call, something seemed to draw me over to the museum. By this time it was entirely dark, and in that room it was oppressing, posi- tively. Groping around for the light, I stumbled and came down gasping, falling over the body of a stuffed alligator. In rising, I kicked something that rolled over with a dead thud. Touching it, I drew back in horror. for my hands were covered with a warm, sticky liquid. By this time I had found the light and turned, to see that which I shall never forget. Even now, I can barely control myself enough to tell of it. M. Colteaux was no moreg rather, he was in two separate pieces. His mas- sive head, always of such majestic appearance, was lying where I had kicked it. Its white locks of hair were matted with the blood-life of M. Colteaux. Fallen from the platform of the guillotine was the lifeless body, inert, devoid of any sem- blance to the once vigorous power that it had been. I was horrified, dumb with the hideousness of the thing, paralyzed. An urgent desire to get away from the thing, to run, to be gone, came over me. Seized by his sudden panic, I dropped the lighted lamp nad rushed out of the now black room. Stopping at the door and looking back, I saw a sight so horrible that I hesitate to tell it to you. In the pitch-darkness of the room a tiny trickle of light began to creep, suddenly, fed by the oil of the lamp, it leaped into a mass of flame, illuminating the room with its terrific vigor. There, in the center of the fire, that ghastly guillotine stood, towering above its last victim, M. Colteaux. VVith the picture glazed upon my memory, I rushed from the now flaming house, braving the fierce gale of windg and calling the nearest taximetre, I hur- ried home. The next morning the news-papers came out with the following notice, The home of M. Colteaux, the prominent archaeologist, on the Rue de Grandys was destroyed by fire last night. The fire started in the east addition and on account of the high wind, was unmanageable. No trace of M. Colteaux has been found and it is evident that he perished in the fire. M. Colteaux, etc. - Now I know that this is not true. M. Colteaux did not perish in the fire. Also, it is doubtful if the death of M. Colteaux, of such and unusual manner, could have been accidental. Of course all clues and traces of any murder are erased forever: but I am giving this story to you inspectors of Paris to work upon. I regret more than I can express the death of this man, my friend. But unhappy incidents will happeng and as my wife says-but what is that to you? RACHAEL ROTH, '24.

In general assembly the song hour was very successful because of their excellent work and leadership. At each monthly meeting of the Parent Teachers Association the Glee Club sang a group of songs. These not only added more interest to the regular Glee Club work, but also introduced some music at each meeting of the Association. April was a verv musical month for the Glee Club for in it they presented two big numbers. The flrst night of the Dedication Exercises, the Glee Club pre- sented the cantata, The Garden of Flowers. Also in April with the assistance of some of the High School Boys the Glee Club presented the operetta, The Toreadorsu bv Carrington which was a credit to the school. In May a selected group, twelve in number appeared in the County Track Meet and sang The Beautiful Blue Danube. Their work was an inspiration to the school.

The members are ambitious and determined to stimulate an interest for the best there is in music among the students in the High School. The time of meeting is every alternate Tuesday afternoon. The first meet- ings of the club were held in room five but we soon grew too large for those quart- ers and during the second semester all meetings were held in the assembly room. During the past year, the club began a serious study of the master composers and their work. All members showed a keen interest in the work assigned to them by the program committee and each one made an earnest effort to make it interest- ing for the other members, by their excellent papers and sympathetic rendition of the works of the master. Schumann, Schubert, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Wfagner, Liszt were among the masters studied. The Victor and visiting artists made it possible to take up the studv of opera, which proved to be both interesting and helpful to the members, because in addition to the stories of the operas and the numbers given bv the students. the overtures and more difficult arias were given, thus making it possible to hear almost the entire opera at a meeting. The more advanced music students of the club gave an Artists' recital for the entire school.

The new members, those who had one year of Latin were initiated at this meeting, and the following officers for the first semester were elected: President, Jerome Pearreg Vice-President, Rachael Rothg Secretary-Treasurer, Glenn Lightholder. During the First semester four meetings were held. At each of these an inter- esting program concerning some phase of Roman life was given. A set of slides on the Roman House was shown at the third meeting. It is interesting to note the beautifully carved furniture of that age. The Latin Club also gave a very interesting Roman banquet to all of the mem- bers. The Roman scheme of eating was carried out carefully. The menu cards were printed in Latin, and the dinner served was similar to one described in John- ston's PRIVATE LIFE OF THE ROMAN. The banquet was certainly a suc- cess, and members of the club look forward to other similar good times. The purpose of the Club is to create an interest in the life of the Romans, and thus to make the study of the Latin language more interesting.

The Club has a membership of seventy girls and each of the bi-monthly meet- ings is always well attended. It has been proved at the meetings that the Dramatic Club stands for leader- ship and service. two of our high school's aims, for a program is always carried out by the different members of the club. Another purpose of the club is to create an interest in the presentation of plays and this has been proved possible through the presentation of the play, The Kleptomaniacu and others during the year. Along with our business aiTairs come our social affairs, which we must not omit. A Christmas party was held at the High School, in which all the children again responded.

Members eligible to this organization include those students who have been enrolled in either present or past domestic art and domestic science classes. Miss Augustine. as faculty adviser has done much in adding interest to the club. The Club has presented some very interesting programs once a month in which the talent of the Club was displayed. This Club was responsible for the pre- paration and serving of the Agriculture Club Father-Son banquet. ,X second in- teresting banquet given was the Mother-Daughter banquet which was given in May.

Mr. Koons acts as the faculty adviser and the Council meets in the ofhce every Thursday morning at eight o'clock. This organization was started in January, 1922, and tl'e original idea was that this group would act as a sort of court before which offenders should be brought. However, the members elected objected to these duties so they set about doing things to improve the school and they have accomplished many things, among which was the successful directing of the campaign for the addition to our build- mg. Much of the work of this body is done through four committees: The Book lixchange Committee, the Athletic Committee, the Building and Grounds Com- mittee, and the Friday Morning Committee. The Book Exchange Committee has charge of the table in the hall at which paper is sold at a low rate. They also handle second-hand books and almost any of the students will agree that this committee is a great asset to our school. The Athletic Committee has charge of the posters, advertising games, the tickets, pep meetings, etc. At present this committee is working on a pep book which will contain our school yells, songs, etc., and will be sold to the students. The Friday Morning Program Committee arranges the very enjoyable stu- dents' program on Friday and quite often on Thursday mornings. The Building and Grounds Committee tries to keep the campus and building in good condition and if this committee is unable to bring about the repairs, it is reported to someone in authority who has it done. Acting under the suggestion of Mr. Haussler. the Student Council revised the rules for the awarding of letters and adopted a new letter which the students have unanimously declared to be very good looking and somewhat of an improvement over the old one. All in all, this organization seems to be a worthy one and one which merits the whole-hearted support of the student body.

The purpose of this club is to encourage and promote Agriculture in the school and at homeg to culti- vate among the young people a love for the open country, the farm life, and the country homeg and to train active and efficient leaders among the young men for rural life progress. During the year the club held several meetings at which talks were usually given by different members of the club or by some man interested in the work of Agriculture. After which some form of amusement was usually provided by a social committee. On February 13 at six o'clock the club held its fourth annual Father-and- Son Banquet. This year the banquet was by far the largest and was one of the most successful that the club has given in the four years. Eighty-nine were pres- ent at the banquet, including the regular members of the club, and their dads, the shortcourse boys and their dads, the Board of Education, and the Trustees of the H umiston Estate. The dinner was served by the domestic science department. The toastmaster for the evening was Kenneth Potter. Talks were given by Mr. G. Koons, Mr. Sterry Long, Mr. G. L. Potter, Mr. C. E. Hopkins, Clarence Farley, Hon. C. A. Bruer, Albert Telford, G. C. Armstrong, Mr. E. C. Broyles, and Mr. D. S. Myers. The Club is one of the most active in the school.

The members are boys of the Sophomore, junior, and Senior Classes of the High School. The club was organized a year ago last December and has grown steadily since that time. The meetings are held every other Thursday. at which time discussions are held. about great men of the world and their influence on lives of others. Each year a reception is held for the incoming Freshmen, where they are introduced and become better acquainted with the teachers, officers of each class and the Hi-Y Club and its aims and with life in the High School. This year the reception was held at the Y. M. C. A. on February 2, and 19 Freshmen were introduced into the mysteries of the High School. The officers of the Club are as follows: President, Arthur Tallmang Vice- President, Finley Fattersong Secretary, Julius Oppermang Treasurer, Cyril Close.

Seventeen boys attended this six weeks course. and all of them expressed a desire to be enrolled again next year in the second year s work. The Agricultural Short Course is arranged on the three-year basis. This year the following subjects were taught: Agricultural Arithmetic, Rural Civics, English and Soils and Crops. Next year the agricultural subject will be Animal Husbandry. The class in English was taught by Mrs. Uancey, the class in Arithmetic by Mr. Koons, and the classes in Soils and Crops and Rural Civics by Mr. Anderson. In Rural Civics lectures were given by certain leading business and professional men in the community. Taking part in this respect were the following men: li. R. Thompson, Mayor of Pontiacg C. A. liruer, Representative in State Legislatureg F. D. liarton, President Livingston County Farm Rureaug V. V. Parshall, Public Service C.g J. H. McFadden, States Attorneyg W. XV. NN'ilson, Attorneyg C. E. Hopkins, Assistant County Adviserg H. O. Allison, County Adviserg XY. YV. McCulloch, County Superintendentg S. Reed, County Clerkg George Brunskill, Manager Farmers' Grain Co.g C. R. Tombaugh, Vice-President National Bankg G. bl. Koons, Superintendent High School, R. J. Johnston, Milk Dealer, and M. C. Crew, Teacher of Economics. The following boys were in attendance the hrst year of the short-course: Harley Asper, Clarence Asper, Alfred XYebber, Melvin Locke, John Sellmyer, Wayne Vilven, Hugh Duffy, Arno Kipfer, Eli Casson of Pontiacg Gretton Eaton, Carl Melvin. Lynden Keeneth of Udellg Ralph Forney, Donald Harris, Orville Ahrends of Graymontg Albert Telford of Emington and Elden Hirsten of Cullom. This Short-Course was made possible through the carrying out of a provision in the will of Mrs. Harriet llumiston. A special endowment fund was provided for just such a purpose as the .Agricultural Short-Course. Pngi' 116 THE WIGWAM 1924 Junior Chamber of Commerce The -lunior Chamber of Commerce was organized primarily for the com- mercial students of the high school, but it is open to the membership of any other students who are sufhciently interested in belonging. Among the activities of the Chamber of Commerce have been a number of interesting talks by men out on the Firing line of business. Among these was a talk on Salesmanship by Mr. George Williams, XVindow Trimming, by Mr. Roy Varney, and Advertising by Mr. VV. VV. McCulloch. Trips to several of the important industries of Pontiac were undertaken, the shoe factories having been visited, together with the Gas Plant, the W'ater-Purif1ca- tion Plant, and Allen's Ice Cream Plant. In the first year of its organization, the Chamber of Commerce has evidenced signs of coming to the front as one of the important organizations of the school. iP P PP P Y Page 117 lg924 THE WIGWAM Homecoming and Our Floats The Homecoming and Mardi Gras was especially closely connected with the High School. Perhaps the most interesting part of the Homecoming was the parade in which each class of the High School participated. A prize of ten dollars was offered to the class having the most attractive float. Of all of the entries the Senior Class Hoat was judged the most beautiful. The idea of a gorgeous white- sailed boat carrying the Class of 1924 Motto on in our school life was carried out. The color scheme was yellow and white. The huge boat shaped float being covered with masses of white paper fringe, with white and yellow streamers artistically draped down from the high mast and caught in place by bunches of huge yellow chrysantliemums was indeed one of the most beautiful floats in the parade. The committee who created this float is as follows: Rachael Roth, chairmang Marie Miller, Kathryn Miller, Frances Williams, Virginia Parshall, Mary Noel, Harold Rittenhouse, VV illiam Vicars, and Melvin Goode. Girls, dressed as Grecian maidens with the yellow and white symbol of learning in their hands, rode on the float. As for beauty the Junior float was surely a close second, the Junior girls being dressed as many colored pansies. The Freshman and Sophomores both carried out very clever ideas with their Hoats. As a whole the High School cer- tainly added much to the beauty of the parade. Page 118 -D THE WIGWAM 1924 J unior-Senior Prom Of all the social features of the High School the junior-Senior Promenade is the foremost in the hearts of the upper classmen. Every Prom held has been a complete success and the one of 1924 was no exception. All of the Juniors and Seniors were arrayed in gala attire on May 23, 1924 for this event of the year. A delicious banquet was served in the Banquet Hall of the Methodist Church. This naturally beautiful room was made into a gorgeous eating bower ht for the gods. Not only were the banquet and the decorations lovelyg but the entertain- ment was one that delighted all of the audience. Afterwards everyone went to the high school gym which resembled a gym no more. This huge room had been made into a veritable galaxy of beauty. Here all danced and made merry in this memorable Prom well into the wee sma' hours of the night. Then each went home with a goodly share of confetti down his or her back to put in a memory- book or collar-box to remember this Junior-Senior Prom of 1924. The Pontiac Parent-Teachers' Association One organization. perhaps not so well known as some of the others, but never- theless vitally connected with our high school, is the Parent-Teachers' organiza- tion. In 1923-24 it is having a very successful year under the leadership of these officers: President. Rev. VVm. Bakerg Vice-President, Mr. Alvin T. Andersong Secre- tary. Miss Celia E. Judyg Treasurer, Mr. Bert St. john. Its purpose is to bring the parents, teachers and pupils into closer cooperation, so that the best interests of the child may be furthered in all ways possible. The meetings are held monthly and are both interesting and entertaining. This year, among other things, they have had an account of the japanese earthquake by Mrs. Genevieve Dickerson, who had been a witness of it. Mrs. Harry Fleming of Bloomington, a district worker, appeared on the program. Rev. T. E. Newland gave an interesting discussion of Music in our Schools. The Glee club and Orchestra have helped greatly this year in making the programs more entertaining and all have especially enjoyed the social hour at the close of each program. Football Banquet Oh, our football boys are great! All we did was set the date. Every boy, coach, prof., and board Came to enjoy what we could afford And that was certainly a hoard! l A Banquet, served by the Senior class, Every waitress a happy lass, We prepared and served it for their sake' And not a football boy was late. just ask them, w0n't you, how they ate! 7 Page 119 1924 THE WIGWAM On the evening of December 21, in the dining room of the High School, a banquet, served by the senior class, was given to the football squad, coach, and members of the Board of Education. Very much credit should go to the Senior girls for the splendid manner in which the banquet was prepared and served. The menu was much in keeping with the spirit. The room was artistically decorated in yellow and white with huge yellow chrysanthemums holding the streamers in place about the room. The tables were brightly adorned, carrying out the same color scheme of yellow and white. Place- cards of the shape of footballs and flowers of contrasting colors added greatly to the appearance of the room. A program of which Tom Barton was toastmaster, was opened with a talk by the principal, Mr. Koons, and a response given by Mayor B. R. Thompson. A talk was given by this year's football captain, Finley Patterson and one by William Burger, captain of next year's squad. Coach Haussler presented the new kind of letter adopted, upon which the stars denoted the number of years of service given on the team. Those receiving letters were: Finley Patterson Oakley VVhitebread Stephen Adsit Dewitte McClelland Gilbert Upham Glenn Leonard VVilliam Burger Lawrence Koons Thornton McClaughry Charles Stack Thurlow Meyers Paul Miller john Corkill Dean Unzicker Joseph McKinney Cecil Shepherd Basketball Banquet For the Hrst time a basketball banquet was given for the basketball team. The juniors had every detail planned out so thoroughly that the whole program was one splendid success. On April 20, 1924, our splendid basketball team, the Board of Education, Mr. Koons, Mr. Haussler, and the cheer-leaders, were enter- tained in the Domestic-science room, which was turned into a bower of Spring beauty. Green and Gold were the predominating colors, represented in masses of daffodils placed in profusion about the room. Beneath the streamer-draped ceiling the banquet tables were spread in elaborate array. The green and gold color scheme was carried out in the table decorations. A very delicious three-course dinner was s-erved by the Junior girls. The menu consisted of chicken and dressing, salads, ice cream and cake, and all of the goodies that a high school boy delights in. Bi1ddie Fisher acted as toastmaster and very cleverly introduced the speakers of the evening. The main speaker was Mr. Jack'7 McCord from Bloom- ington yvho talked of The Spirit of Athletics. The presentation of letters of course means everything to the boys and during the evening letters were presented to Captain Finley Patterson, Oakley Whitebread, Thurlow Meyers, Charles Stack, Eldon Halloway, and Cyril Shepherd. As a whole the banquet was surely a huge success. And for the assurance of a winning team for next year, Cyril Shepherd was elected captain of the team of 1925. Here's success and nine Rahs for Cyril. Przae 120 THE WIGWAM 1924 The Torch Society In the early spring of 1922. at the suggestion of our principal, a committee from the faculty was appointed to investigate the possibilities of establishing at Pontiac Township High School a chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. The investigating committee discovered that the qualifications for membership were tlj the school petitioning must meet the accrediting require- ments of the National Central Association or a similar accrediting body, and KZJ a constitution to be submitted to the National Society for ratification. The first requirement was easy for Pontiac Township High School has' been continuously accredited by the North Central Association since 1904. The committee. therefore. obtained a copy of the constitution of the National Honor Society and framed a constitution for the proposed local chapter in accordance with its provisions. This constitution was approved by the faculty and by the student body and submitted to the National Council, a committee from the National Association of Secondary School Principals, for ratification. In a short time we were informed that our prayer for a chapter had been granted, our constitution accepted, and on August 4, 1922 we were granted a charter as the nineteenth chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. r The purpose of the Torch Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote leadership, to stimulate a desire to render service, and to develop char- acter in the students of Pontiac Township High School. It is interesting to note that the students of our high school, at the suggestion of the Student Council, were pleased to unanimously adopt the aims of the Torch Society as the aims of the high school. As a member of the faculty we are sincere in saying that we believe that the Torch Society has materially increased the interests of our students in attaining better grades, the outward evidence of improved scholarship, in develop- ing leaders in every activity, in motivating loyalty through service, and in building character. Not all can become members of the Torch Society-and the fortunate fifteen percent of the graduating class feel signally honored. The requirements for election, by the faculty, are first, a scholarship rank in the upper quartile of the graduating class. This eliminates many who have the other qualifications for membership but who have neglected their scholarship. This provision is made because the purpose of the high school is to inculcate accuracy in the endeavor to train our young people for their paris as citizens in a democracy and a major attainment in scholarship is evidence that the student is cognizant of the purpose of secondary education. A second qualification is leadership. Unfortunately not all who rank high in scholarship give evidence of becoming leaders and by recognizing leadership as a qualification many who would feel obliged to follow are instigated to take a place as leaders in the activities and destinies of the school and there is no doubt that this training will have a high transfer value to the activities of the community after graduation. A third qualification is service. Many of our young people are badly trained at home in this important characteristic. Too frequently boys and girls believe that they should received some reward for all service that they render. If a boy is required to mow the lawn or carry out the ashes he feels that he must be paidg Page 121 1924 THE WIGWAM or if a girl has to mind the baby while mother has a few hours respite at the movies she feels that she miust have a new gown or hat. It is our purpose to show that service is its own reward-that the joy of service well rendered is sufficient remuneration for our best efforts. So a willingness to work, to render service to the school, is given a weighty place in choosing members. Lastly, the fourth qualification is character. We' mean that strength of will and obedience to the disciplinary duties of life that comes from intimate Contact on the foot ball grid, the grit and determination of the long distance runner that brings him, weak and breathless but triumphant, to his goal, or that broad and noble evaluation of right and wrong that comes from pleasant association with one's fellow men. So in closing let us say that election to the Torch Society is no empty honor. It is an honor to be sought and prized by the best girl or red-blooded he-man of the school. Even the most blase of our young seventeen year old men of the world can feel jubilant if he earns this reward. V O. E. HUNTLEY.

But thy painful pangs I'll feel again, oh, never, nevermore, But perhaps when life has fled me, and the angel host has led me Up to join the heavenly chorus on the shining shimmering shore, Then perhaps again I'll find thee, and once more to me I'll bind thee, To the spot which thou departed and I'll leave thee nevermore, Fair appendix-Lost Lenore. l F O R E I G N N E W S Extra!

PROMINENT RESIDENT OF MAPLEVIEW ACCIDENTLY COMMITS SUICIDE Blows Up and Destroys Self and Stately Residence While Fixing Gas Meter With Blow Torch! About 3 o'clock this P. M. Mr. T. Wadd, a prominent resident of Maple- view, blew up and completely destroyed his personage and mansion on South Mapleview Ave. While attempting to melt the leads of the gas meter with a blow torch. The only eye witness to this horrible tragedy was a certain Mrs. Goldstein who. from the roof of her house, saw the dwelling of Mr. Wadd rise high into the air and fall in splinters to the ground. She thought nothing of it at the time, however, for Mr. Wadd was known to be an eccentric old gentleman with peculiar and varying habits. Mr. P. D. Quick, who happened to be passing on his roller skates soon after the crash oc- curred, rushed into the middle of the debris and seized an arm of Mr, Wadd and after many vicious tugs succeeded in getting it disintegrated from the rest of the rubbish but the body did not follow. Mr, Quick was so surprised and com- pletely overcome by the singular occur- rence that he sold his business and re- turned to Sweden where he was born. Mr. Wadd's only surviving heirs are two single daughters one 45, the other 45, to whom he leaves his house. Mr. Wadd was a member of the First M. E. Church of this city whose tenets he religiously carried out during his long life. It is assumed that his death will prove a great loss to the town, as he was well known by all who knew him. The Boy Scouts of Mapleview collected the remains in bushel baskets during the remaining hours of daylight. l LITTLE LESSONS IN SOCIAL MANNERS A Lesson No. 1 The Proper Method of Bidding the Host or Hostess Good Night and Thank- ing Them for an Enjoyable Evening. Mr. Dear Miss, Mrs., or Mr.--: I have long experienced a deep seated desire to express my heartfelt gratitude for this delightful occasion, and at the present time, when I find an excellent Page 130 THE TINYVILLE TIMES opportunity whereby this urge may be fulfilled, I am of the opinion that any- thing which I could possibly say, would be sadly deficient and fail to carry to you even the most infinitesimal portion of the profound enjoyment of this splendid eve- ning, and so to put the matter in less eloquent words I shall simply say thank you very much and I have, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, had a good time. Lesson No. 2 This point is in much dispute among the Four Hundred, but it is in most cases agreed that in the same breath one should not mention one's self more-than sixty-Five and three one-hundredths times. Lesson No. 3 This is most noted in the better class homes of the country.

His hat on one side and his collar was off, ile said, Pardon me, but I have a bad cough. His cigar was out and he had no match, So he asked me if I would help him scratch. I said My dear courageous man, I will lend you the use of my left hand The lightning dashed, the thunder roared, But both he and I were terribly bored. Along came a car without a top, And we saw inside a bow-legged cop He stopped and asked if we wanted a ride l So we acquiesced and with Much obliged. He went on at fifty anhour, Suddenly stopping said, I'vc lOSt my flour. So back up the street We hurriedly went, And came to a house with a sign For Rent. We went up the walk and knocked on the door And when We saw who answered, we fell to the Hoor. . For there stood a red haired, pigeon-toed maid And right then we made up our rninds to fade. So ends this mournful soliloquy. By Herschel Patterson, America's fore- most Poet. I 1 LONG LIFE M. C. Crew Tells How to Attain Old Age At his home on North Chicago Street early today, M. C.

BIG GAME It is generally known that Westerners like to make a big story out of nothing. And, if they get in too deep they always Find a Way out. In the west, some time ago there were a group of Old Timers talking and re- lating their varied experiences in the pioneer days. This was before prohibi- tion and one of them was happy, west- erners never get drunk. Well here's what this happy fellow told: One time me 'n Bill was runnin' cattle fer West Bar 'long in the evenin' when we got in the way of a buffalo stampede. We shot enough of 'em to pile 'em up in front of us an we was kep' busy shoot- ing 'em so's they wouldn't run us under. We was shootin' steady fer three days 'n four nights when Finally the herd split 'n give us time to ride out of the way 'n 'twas a good thing we did too, 'cause when we got up out of the canyon, we looked back 'n, b'gosh, here come the main herd! DUCKS One time I was out in the woods of Wisconsin hunting with an old fashioned muzzle loader when I ran out of shot and had a lot of powder left. just as I shot my last shot a flock of fifty mallard ducks circled over my head and lit in a pond by which l was standing. A splendid shot, but no ball! I laid my gun down on the bank. and crawled to the edge of the pond, and waited for one of them to swim close so I could goal him. Finally one came up within live feet, so I rose up and dove for him, but he swam away and I stuck in the mud. Just as I happened to grab something hard I came up and I found that I had an oyster in my hand. I was hungry so I opened it and to my surprise I found a beautiful pearl inside which I later found just fit my gun. Now I do love roast Mallard and here was a chance to get one but only by los- ing that line pearl. I sat down and be- gan to think. I took out my note book and approached the subject from a sci- entihc stand-point. I figured that by the law of averages once in the next three hundred years the ducks must be swim- ming in a straight line for one minute. I sat down to await the turn of events. In my spare time I figured from the weight and size of the pearl and the density of a duck that by using one-half my remain- ing powder I could shoot the pearl through forty-nine and one-half ducks. Page 132 THE TINYVILLE TIMES It happened about two years later that I awoke up at midnight and found all the ducks in a straight line, so I aroused, and took careful aim and killed all fifty ducks and found the pearl in the breast of the last one. Now l'm working on a scientific meth- od of cleaning them. PRIZE ESSAYS Tragedy Dear old uncle Abner tells this story of his pioneer days: One time when I was about twelve years old I was out in the deep, dark forest hunting bears. When what do you suppose, a great, big, black, grizzly bear jumped out at me from behind a big tree, and chased me nearly four miles through the forest. I climbed a tree finally and went up, and up, and up, until I found that there were no branches and it was a high stump and the bear could climb as well as I, And he came right up and ate me up! THE INQUISITIVE REPORTER This year he asked more than one per- son, picked at random a little nonsense. Where asked- Southwest corner of Washington and Water Streets. This year's question:- How do you think Newton's Theory of Relativity taken in the light of acute thrombosisg and considering, of course. Einstine's Laws of Falling Bodies: will effect the proposed new Constitution for Mars? The Opinion of the Faculty 1-Mr. L. H. Bowyer: Blindstine's Theory of Relativity astonishes our saponaceous, bumiferous, cranialaneous, braineological pilgrimages. It perpetuates unceasingly the notion that the photosynthetical apparatus in the off- spring of the Heidelburg Man will pre- dominate until Doomsday over all the ethereal perambulations and ramifications of the gray coated organism situated be- tween their tympanic vibrators. 2-Miss Margaret Power: When the constitution of Mars is so strengthened as to withstand infection, I can scarcely conceive that many bodies will fall. Since the Martians are reputed to be a high.class people, probably very few will fall from the effects of Asinus Alba. 3-Mr. O. E. Huntley: It is obvious that the entropy of the Martians in peregrinating to the neigh- boring archepelago, Saturnus, would be a hyperbolic function of the nullity of the metaphysical rumination in the realm of the ethereal. This leads to the especially interesting and euphonious elicitation that in its impartiality is illustrative of the pragmatists, that nothing equals nothing. 4-Mr. Stephen B. Adsit, Senior: Confronted with this question which for years has baffled the foremost minds of American science. Calthough it is clear- ly a case of relativity, and comparable only to the famous discussion of the incess of the dyne per. Sec. per Secj I can only say, with all due respect to Geo. Adams. Aloysius Sheahan, and the League of Nations: that in my opinion it might be scrambled in a solution of oyster gravy and H:OCH, and fried in a bath tub without permanent disintegration of the tendency to ask the man who owns one. I believe it would eliminate it by join- ing the League of Nations. Josephine Donnell CFreshmanj. E-thiopically speaking from a prog- nostical standpoint this scrofulous ques- tion should be treated with the most sforzando care and proboscidianistic and cauliforms, We know from the writings of the fa- mous Greek philosophers Laryngitis and Veripopulous that the periphrastic treat- ment of such a problem is very likely to bring thaumaturgical results. Also, the Latin orator Verivishus warns us against paraleipsis in such quotidian troubles. Let us heed. then, these most holo- phrastic saws. In preparing the scutellated volume on the Law of Falling Bodies, Einstein was assisted by Prince I Pull in the little village of Havanutherwon on Lake Chickahominy. He did not then foresee that the thracheotomy of his treatise would apply to the new constitution for brother Mars. However, the supereoga- tion of the scuppernongs has greatly al- tered the meaning. I believe that Mars' new constitution will be a distinct boutonniere and will be little affected by any of the recherche forces mentioned. A com- plete redimtegration will result and the people of our planet friend will welcome with great resiliency, which a brick lacks the tautonerism of such a truly great document. Eugenia Heath. The problem is exceedingly per- spicacious in its amazing heterogeneity and will necessitate a great deal of exegesis. In the first place I cannot clearly com- prehend what is meant by the light of acute thrombosis. It sheds anything but light. But leaving this aside as en- tirely glochidiate we may proceed to our discussion. Page 133 THE TINYVILLE TIMES I do not consider Einstein's laws of falling bodies at all. It is simply apothe- cary and a complete labefacation. Newton's theory of relativity reeks with possibilities of intumenscence. If, as he says in his isogenous theory, we are all relatives, then the new constitution of Mars must contain isonomic terms deny- ing anyone the right to hold ofnce if, isea bimbo bumpus, he is a compensa- tional relative of any chu cut plug of- hce holder. This being refragable We may truly say in the iodic words of that lentiginous America. Albert Steffins, Not yet. ditto! George Heath. BOBBY BURN'S BALEFUL BED- TIME BUNK Now, Mrs. Ives, said the great de- tective, repeat clearly your story in de- tail exactly as you told it before. Well, my husband was in his study studying, because he had exams yester- day. About two o'clock I walked in, and as he looked up at me his eyes popped out and rolled down his face into his lapTn What ! l l Into his lap! Come, come, said the sleuth, are you sure? You didn't say that before. Yes, into his lap, replied Mrs. Ives. At this the great man turned greenish purple and said in a hoarse voice, Come, come quick, there is no time to lose! and catching Mrs. Ives by the hand he ran downstairs and jumped into a taxi, Drive to the National Hardware Co. with all speed, he directed. As they were passing under the elevat- ed tracks, a brick came through the roof of the cab to which there was tied the following note: Banker Johnson leaned over edge of box at Smith Street Theatre. Ears fell off into orchestra pit. Jenkins. The great man was excited, Heavens he cried, not Johnson, the rich banker? Yes, said Mrs. Ives, they rolled down into his lap. The detective paid no attention to her amazing statement, but he seized the speaking tube quickly. Never mind the National Hardware Company, he snapped, 'tdrive to the Central Club at once. Then turning to Mrs. Ives, he whispered, There is some ghastly devilment about. As they were passing the sea on the edge of a high clit? on the way to the Central Club, the cab driver saw two men in full dress, hand in hand, on the edge of the cliff, one without eyes and the other without ears. The driver was so overcome at the gruesome spectacle that he headed the taxi into them, running over them and on over the cliff. just as they went over, the great de- tective turned hurriedly to Mrs. Ives. Why is an orange round? he asked. Couldn't say, I haven't given the mat- ter a thought, she replied. Ah, that is the key to the mystery. and forthwith they plunged into the sea.

SOME DEFINITIONS OF A KISS A kiss is a peculiar proposition. Of no use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two. The small boy gets it for nothing. The young man has to steal it. The old man has to buy it. The baby's right. The lover's privilege. The Hypocrite's mask. To a young girl-Faith. To a married woman-Hope. To an old maid-Charity.-Parrakeet.
