First to commemorate the achievements of the greatest literary figure in the history of Missouri, Mark Twain. Secondly, to portray through pictures and written words the spirit of Caruthersville Junior College and High School. In each endeavor we realize that our efforts are far short of the goal, but in our humble manner we have tried to depict the spirit of both. The spirit of Mark Twain, as depicted in his books, has produced a wholesome and invigorating effect on the minds of youths in our country. The accomplishments of Caruthersville Junior College and High School are awakening in the minds of their students a feeling of exultation and pride. Throughout Pemiscot County there seems to be an awakening to the fact that higher educational advantages will provide safe material to solve the problems of civilization. IK'iucattim For her loving disposition, her pleasing personality, for her interest in our welfare, and her magnificent work in the educational field of Pemiscot County, we lovingly dedicate this Mark Twain issue to iflrs.

What boy does not count among his treasures “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”? Who does not recall with real delight the time when reading “Innocents Abroad,” “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” “The Prince and the Pauper,” “Joan of Arc,” “The Jumping Frog,” and others of his books and stories? We, who live by the great Father of Waters, do honor our Missouri writer who chose his pen name, “Mark Twain,” from his adventures of “Life on the Mississippi.” H s life and works have inspired us for the iheme for this book. “Smiley said all a frog wanted was education and he could do ’most anything—and I believe him J”—The Jumping Frog.

J. C. How easy it will be to recall the first day in the history of Caruthersville Junior College, when we as Freshmen entered the portals as the “Pioneer” students. How eagerly we watched the administration organize and put in movement the vast machinery of college life. Acquaintances were made, friendships formed, and the end of the first year found us a friendly, jolly bunch of boys and girls, enjoying to the utmost the pleasures derived in associating together for one purpose, to increase the intellect. This year we were compelled to walk with a certain amount of dignity, and upon occasions we even condescended to the extent of aiding “green freshmen” to become acquainted with the high code of a college student. Our efforts have not been in vain, for we have taught the lesson well, and feel assured that the incoming Sophomore class will uphold the high standards we have set. And as watchmen of the night looking far ahead we see that “all’s well” for C. J. C. (ilndyN ltairil Caruthersville, Mo. Choral Culb Martha Uennctt Caruthersville, Mo.

Look up, ye future students of C. J. C. To all others whom it may concern—Slop! Observe! and consider! It is we of the class of ’31 who proudly give these commands. Furthermore, it is fitting that we should in view of our untiring efforts, our noble achievements, and our marvelous progress in striving for that precious gem of knowledge. Has it not stirred your hearts to see our valiant band as it plods wearily over the road of hard work, overcoming the many difficulties which beset its path; as it plunged bravely into the mysteries of Science, Math, English, History, and Education? And now, as we emerge from the struggle victorious-triumphant—who would—who could defy us? Consider our accomplishments and be convinced of our indisputable superiority. Nine hard-fighting b reshmen among the fourteen members of C. J. C.’s football squad, and six Freshmen from a basketball squad of ten is convincing evidence of our strength in the field of athletics. I And our supremacy was not only displayed in athletics but in all other school activities as well.) We were well represented in all clubs and were active in the club work. As for scholarship—the number of distinguished scholars in our midst was made evident by the honor roll. Thus, we worthy sons and daughters of our mighty institution submit this advice to all future students. Strive on. my children; be brave, industrious, and loyal, and you may reach our level. As for the possibility of surpassing us—do not attempt such a stupendous undertaking, for it would end only in failure. -ns; Freda Alexander Steele, Mo.

Sponsor 'oIotm: Old mid Orchid Flower: Sweetheart ltOMe The Junior Class—hard working Junior Class—far-sighted Junior Class—is not the result of the handicraft and genius of a few girls and boys to today but rather is the consummation of years of idealistic endeavors of visually minded students of the past who made historic the duties and by-laws of the Junior Class by their intellectual proficiency. The present Juniors, who really have no say so in matters, should have their own ideals and aims, but have only their own achievements and activities. They hope faithfully to mirror the beautiful spirit of the Junior Classes that have passed beyond in unfathomable space. If we have been able by this year’s work to weld another in that long chain of memories of Junior classes, cherished the more by the realization of our Alma Mater’s heritage of the past—we feel that we, the Junior class of 1930, will have achieved our purpose— our aim —and our ideals. The farsighted, ever thoughtful, kind, considerate Junior Class have endeavored to uphold the standards of the Junior Classes which have gone before us. We, the introspectionists of time, have looked ahead and have foreseen the smugglings of the on-coming classes. We have made an honest endeavor to be of service—in this our Alma Mater-to-be—and we have done so by managing “hot-dog stands” at tournaments, basketball and football games. Thus we have the satisfaction that great accomplishments and a successful year have been reaped by the magic winders put forth bv us in our third year in old C. H. S. vNJ NX VJV.N . «W.. v'jjms }. .'

Dramatic Club Spelling Club Pop Squad itiistnni nf the (Canitherstnlle Schools In order to realize the slow but persistent progress the Caruth-ersville schools have made and to appreciate fully their present educational facilities it is necessary to follow the development of the system from its incipiency to the establishment of the existent Junior College. The first public school, a one-room structure built of logs and situated near the Methodist Church property, was destroyed by fire. Its successor was a one-room frame building, located on the present site of the Frisco freight office. It was later purchased by Mr. John A. Cunningham, removed to another location, and remodeled into a negro dwelling. At this time, the taxpayers refused to vote the requisite funds for a new school; consequently, in 1889, enterprising citizens subscribed a sum sufficient to construct a two-story frame building, known as the Pemiscot College, where a tuition fee was exacted. This school provided the first high school course offered in this community or immediate vicinity. It burned during a Christmas entertainment and was replaced by another of like size, which in 1897 produced the first graduating class. Both schools were situated on the premises now occupied by the homes of Mrs. J. W. Stevens and Mr. R. F. Coppage. In 1899, a new brick structure, which housed both high school and grade school students, was erected. It is now known as the old grammar school. A few rooms, which proved inadequate, were annexed to this building. This necessitated the construction of the present new building, which supplied the need temporarily. Shortly thereafter, another brick high school was erected on the existent site. As attendance increased, a frame study hall was provided. In 1923, both buildings were consumed by fire. and. in 1925, our present fine high school was completed. The Board of Education foresaw the cultural and material benefits to be derived from the establishment of a Junior College which would provide higher education for many who could not hope to go elsewhere, and which would allow students to remain under home influences for a longer period. Accordingly in 1928 the Caruth-ersville Junior College was founded. MOTTO: NO l'l l' .K WITIIOCT STItU.Cl.l! Flowrn Swocthcurt Homo Color : Old llos« and Silver We have often wondered if C. H. S. fully realized the magnitude of an event that happened in the early fall of '28. It was then that this school was blessed by “pompous” Freshmen. Since that eventful day oF Dad Time has continued to swing his scythe, and that year has been thrown over the Great Divide, never to return in our minds except as a fond memory. We are now Sophomores, and what big difference one little step can make. Instead of being on the receiving end. we are now enjoying the experience of being a Sophomore and teaching the lowly Freshmen how to conduct themselves in high school. Slowly leaves disappeared from the school calendar, leaves that marked a glorious year—a year in which our class was well represented in all branches of athletics. On the gridiron, basketball court and cinder path, we gave our best and as a result we boast a few wearers of the coveted “C.” The realm of sports, however, was not the only channel in which our class members showed their prowess. There were many other phases of high school activity in which we were not lacking in representation. We boast a debating team made up of Sophomores, who made this school a feared opponent. Then, too, we have a member who was a close competitor in the queen contest. With the second year of our high school drawing to a close we are looking forward with great anticipation to the remaining years of our high school career. Two more years of this history remains and when they have come to an end, its pages will be worthy testimonies of the sincerity of the Sophomore class. fll i fM BEBOt'T IlKRNAHn KISH OP BRAD6HEH HRl'CE STARS CHAFFIN DICKSON DUDLEY COOK CORRINCTON CKECF.UtS CUNNINGHAM DAVIS CALUAN PARIS FIELDS PRKN II FRAME LA PFOtW KLLLKY JOHNSTON killi : : HENLEY GGWLN MPHRLE ORTON Me EL YEA MeGEE McCOKD SIDES KOKIN SON RICKS PINION PORTUX K PRINCE r h . t J9 M.

Our irrepressible spirits, however, have kept us convinced that this period of suppression has been a great blunder on the part of upper class-men, who have failed to appreciate properly the great addition we have been to C. H. S. In 1921, slightly influenced by our parents and the State School laws, we granted the privilege of our presence to the school faculty. By 1923 we were doing so well we were permitted to make our year’s work by attending a half of each dav. Perhaps I should sav that some thought th:s was due to the crowded condition of the building, but we thought we knew it was due to our alert scholarship. When we were in the seventh grade we were sent to the H'gh School. It was unnecessary, since we were already sure of our high standing, and the next year we voluntarily returned to complete our eighth grade at the Grammar school building. During the year our boys’ and girls’ basketball teams annexed the class championships. This year of 1929-30 we had four members on the football squad, five on the boys’ basket ball squad and five girls on the girls’ squad. We have two girls in the Glee Club. One of the boys took the leading part in the annual Latin play. As evidence of our unusual abilities our several teachers have already conferred upon some of us—no personal advertising allowed, hence no names—the degrees of A. 15., A. M., Ph. D., M. D„ and LI. I). (Note: For the benefit of those unfamiliar with these abbreviations I will explain the degrees awarded are: Bachelor of Aggravation; Master of Asininity; Doctor of Phenomenal Ignorance; Doctor of Make-up; and Dumb in Latin). 4 (T; I jm hzmd -yuyi ft C.

Asher, Coach Hopke Scott, Cain, J. Asher, Foster, Wessel, Martin With a strong, fighting team to carry the Blue and White of C. J. C. into battle, the 1929 football season opened at Jackson, Tenn., with the Lambuth Eagles. The brilliant (SO yard run of Capt. Foster for a touchdown was the feature of the game. Lambuth finally scored in the closing minutes of the game and when the final whistle blew, the score was 7-7. The next game was also on Tennessee soil, with the University of Tennessee Junior Vols at Martin. The Jayhawks completely outplayed their larger, heavier opponents throughout the greater part of the game, making 16 first downs to their opponents’ 3, but on a muddy, slippery field, were finally forced to bow down in defeat. 7-0. In the third game of the season the Jayhawks met the conference champions, West Tennessee Teachers, at Memphis. This game was played at night, the first one for the Blue and White and, although the boys fought gamely, they were unable to withstand the attacks of the Tutors. The final score was 26-0. For their inaugural home game, the Jayhawks clashed with the (C. ,1). (C. JFootball lUnticm scrapping Jonesboro Aggies. This was by far the most thrilling game of the season, both teams playing a fast and furious brand of ball. The Jayhawks, by playing heads-up and fighting like demons, ascended the heights that afternoon and kept the bacon home to the tune of 13-12. The Jayhawks’ victory scream was heard again when the May-field Bruins came down for the second home game. The Blue and White played listlessly during the first quarter, but finally woke up and got down to work during the last three quarters. A slow, relentless march toward the Bruins goal resulted in the final score being 18-0 for the Jayhawks. The Southwestern Freshmen of Memphis were the next opponents. This was another game for “mudhorses” and the Frosh proved to be the better ones by a 14-6 score in their favor. After a ten day rest the Jayhawks played their return game with Will Mayfield, this time at Lutesville. They again proved their superiority over the Bruins by defeating them 6-0. The feature of this game was the crashing line plunging of Asher, who accounted for the lone touchdown. On Thanksgiving Day, the Jayhawks ended the season in a blaze of glory by defeating the Jonesboro Baptists 20-0. The game was a real scrap from beginning to end, but the Jayhawks, fighting hard, were not to be denied. The 1929 football season can be classed, as a whole, as a very successful one considering the high caliber of the Jayhawks’ opponents. Each member of the football squad deserves a world of praise for the manner in which he played the game, whether winning or losing, as each and every one of them was a clean, sportsmanlike battle from start to finish. The Jayhawks finished in a tie for third place in the Mississippi Valley Conference and one member of the team was named on the All-Conference selection. The game with the Jonesboro Aggies was, of course, the high spot of the season. No other game of the year even paralleled it in excitement or thrills and by winning it the Jayhawks showed their true football ability. Several players who performed yoeman service throughout all the season will be lost to the team next year. They are Foster, Smith, Martin, Asher, Cain, and Howell, but nevertheless, prospects are bright for a strong team, and opponents of C. J.

C- % «I. basketball lUnmnu The Jayhawks opened the season with the strong Cape Shells, independent team. The game was close and exciting and the final score was 34 to 32 in favor of the Jayhawks. The second game of the season was played with the West Tennessee Teachers, the conference champions. Brilliant passing and excellent shooting featured the work of both teams. A desperate spurt in the last few minutes enabled the Teachers to win, 38 to 31. Displaying a powerful scoring team the Jayhawks smothered the Junior Vols of Martin, by a score of 40 to 22. The plays were perfectly executed and the offense clicked with clock-like regularity. Leading in most of the game the Jayhawks were finally defeated by the Lambuth Eagles, after a number of the players had been fouled out. The game was unusually rough, and the final score was 34 to 26. Perfecting a flashing offensive attack, the Jayhawks easily defeated Flat River, 55 to 34. Conn, big pivot man, led the offensive drive. The entire team displayed an excellent brand of basketball. For the first game away from home the Jays journeyed to Flat River. After a hard trip the boys went on the floor confident of victory. Seemingly they couldn’t get going, and the opposition quickly r V (C. ,1). (C. Basketball lUniiem obtained a commanding lead, which could not be overcome. Score 31 to 26. Working down to mid-season form the Jayhawks were playing wonderful basketball. The Preachers of Jonesboro Baptist were unable to cope with the flashing attack of the Jayhawk five, and met defeat 45 to 16. The Jayhawks easily defeated the Junior Vols on their floor, a score of 39 to 26. The Jays early assumed a good lead, and continued to shoot accurately. The next day after defeating the Junior Vols the Jayhawks motored to Murray, to play the strongest team in the conference. In this game every man played his best; the score was tied twice in the last half, but a tremendous spurt in the last six minutes won for Murray, 46 to 26. The Thoroughbreds from Murray, Ky., still displaying a brilliant brand of ball, proved too much for the Jayhawks in their second encounter. The Thoroughbreds declared it was the hardest fight they had experienced during the entire season. The final score of 52 to 38 was largely decided in the last few minutes of play. Earlier in the season the Jayhawks were barely able to nose out the Independent Cape Shells, but in their second encounter the result was somewhat different. The Blue and White easily handed the Shells a 57 to 35 defeat. The last home game of the season was played with the Southwestern Bobcats of Memphis. After the first few minutes of play the Blue and White assumed a good lead and settled down to play the best defensive game of the season, winning 29 to 13. In the Mississippi Valley Tournament at Memphis, the Jayhawks lost to the strong Teachers College of Murfreesboro, Tenn., 31 to 22. The Thoroughbreds from Murray, Ky., deservedly won the conference championship. (C. ,1). (C.

Hi. 3faathall Ztctnem The 1929 football season opened with Coach Hopke endeavoring to whip inexperienced material into shape for the opening game with the Jonesboro Hurricanes. Although defeated 23 to 12 the Tigers showed they had enough material to make an excellent football team. The Sikeston Bulldogs stormed in vain against the Tiger defense and were beaten 36 to 6, in the first home game of the season. The home-town folks agreed that we had a small team, but one that was fast and with plenty of fight. On the first day of the Pemiscot County Fair the Tigers were host to the New Madrid boys. Captain “Chet” Moore entertained the visitors by getting possession of the ball two yards behind his own goal line and dashing 102 yards for a touchdown. Final score: Tigers 25; New Madrid 0. The next opponent of the Tigers was Portageville, there. Portageville scored after the first few minutes of play. The Tigers became excited and ran the score to twenty before they decided the game was another regular win. Final score: Tigers 20, Portageville 6. The powerful, undefeated and much heralded Cape Girardeau Tigers came down for the next game. Fans from each city agreed that according to dope this should be a thrilling, closely fought game. Mr. Gus H. Fan was disappointed. The Tigers from Cape Girardeau, outplayed our Tigers in every department, flashing a passing attack that was dazzling; and the final score was 35 to 0. Somewhat wearied over the Cape Girardeau game, a week later on the Malden football field, the Tigers were again defeated 35 to 0. The punch that characterized the early playing of the Tigers was gone. Only once did they succeed in crossing the fifty yard line, and the biggest gain made was fifteen yards. The game with the Blytheville Chicks showed that the Tigers had a good passing attack, with Pearler on the receiving and Capt. Moore on the sending end. The Chicks had a fighting football team and discouraged any attempt of the Tigers to score. The game ended 34 to 0 in favor of Blytheville. The closing game on Thanksgiving was very disappointing to loyal Tiger fans. They outplayed the Kennett Indians all through the game—making twelve firstdowns to Kennett’s two. In the last few minutes of play, Garrett, of Kennett, intercepted a pass to make the only touchdown of the game, making final score 6 to 0. (C. ift.

With inexperienced members on the team, the boys failed to attain the desired team work that comes with playing together. Only a few shots were attempted and the final score was in favor of Sikeston 23 to 3. Gaining confidence with practice, welding in shape a wonderful defensive and offensive attack of the Tigers easily defeated Holland 33 to 17. The third game of the season was with the strong Cape Central Tigers. The boys had gained confidence with the realization that they had an excellent scoring team. The game was a scrap from beginning to end; and the result was in doubt until the pistol ended the play with the score 35 to 33 in favor of the Cape Tigers. Journeying to Steele the Tigers engaged the Bull Dogs, who for the past two years have been County Champions. On the first tip-off the Tigers scored on a perfect offensive drive. Steele then began to display unusual offensive and defensive skill, holding the Tigers to 11 points while they scored 34. Cooter was the next opponent and were easily defeated by the superior playing of the Tigers, final score 37 to 11. One of the best games of the season was played here against Campbell. The game was furiously contested from the opening to the close. Both teams showed excellent coaching. The game ended 13 to 16 in favor of the Tigers. Fans had an opportunity to witness two wonderfully played basketball games in succession. The feature of the game with the Cape Tigers was the brilliant passing displayed by both teams. Thrilling and closely fought, the final score was 33 to 30 in favor of C. H. S. The Tigers continued their wonderful defensive and offensive playing, defeating the “Green Wave” from Malden by the score of 26 to 22.

The Tournament teams were: Hornersville, Malden, Campbell, Sikeslon, Senath, Steele, and Braggadocio. The Tigers won their first game, defeating Braggadocio, score: 30 to 17. In the second game Sikeston barely defeated the Tigers, 24 to 23, thus eliminating them from further competition. In the finals Campbell defeated Sikeston by the one-sided score of 28 to 5. Hornersville won the consolation by defeating Steele, 26 to 16. In the Pemiscot County Tournament were represented Cooter, Steele, Holland, Braggadocio, Deering, Hayti, and Caruthersville. The Tigers lost their first game to Deering, 29 to 23. In the consolation they defeated Holland 27 to 21, and Hayti 24 to 17 to win the consolation prize. The champions were again the Steele boys.

All praise to girls’ basketball and to all for which it stands— good sportsmanship, self-confidence and health. Coach Hopke started the basketball season with a team composed of six letter-men, but was confronted with the task of moulding all substitute material from inexperienced girls. The year was one of great success considering that not a single game was lost and also that we won the Pemiscot County Tournament and the Southeast Missouri Tournament at Sikeston. The local fans were treated to some thrillers during the season, the final game of the County Tournament being one of these. The Tigers met the strong team from Hayti and defeated them in the last two minutes of play by a score of 25-27. The Southeast Missouri Tournament held at Sikeston early in March, furnished plenty of excitement. Our girls met better teams than they had played earlier in the season, but played with machine-like precision and won honors for the school. (C. lit.

The Student Governing Council of the Junior College has, in the second year of its existence, proved its worth to all. Acting as the representative of the student body it has become an important factor in the disciplinary policy of the school, and by its honesty and fairness in facing all questions has earned the respect of that same student body and the faculty as well. As for the members themselves, perfect harmony prevailed at every meeting of the august body.

The club meets twice each month in the science laboratory. The programs include speakers who talk on nature subjects of interest.

Since all members of previous debating teams had graduated, it was necessary to find effective talkers before work could begin. After several tryouts two sophomore girls, Dora Lee Port lock and Marian Bebout, were chosen to defend which ever side of the League question should fall to their lot. The topic for the year was: Resolved, that the installment buying of personal property, as now practiced in the United States, is both socially and economically desirable. The girls’ first opportunity to suffer stage fright came on December 6, when the negative side of the question proved to be the better, as against the affirmative presentation by Hayti. The confidence which comes with success permitted the Caruthersville team to win the county championship when a rather close decision was earned, this time with the affirmative, over the debate team from Holland High. The next victim of the feminine smooth tongues was Marston. This victory left the sophomore team among the last six surviving competition in the Southeast Missouri District. The debaters were eliminated from further contests by the Jackson team. The affirmative side proved more powerful than the negative in this contest. a ■uM Claude Heathcock Beryl Swan Clarice Cone President Vice-President Sec’y.-Treas.

Battles of varying importance were fought out on the boards that night: one between meek Pop Harrington and his social-climbing wife, in which Pop declared his independence, armed with a curling-iron; the second between Grace and poor Patsy over Tony, who thought he loved Grace but after giving love lessons to Pat found he cared more for her; and the third between Grace and Billy for supremacy, Billy winning a doubtful victory.

We are also glad to learn that they are pursuing life’s pathway very successfully. According to our data, every graduate is now a full fledged and successful teacher: Floyd Hamlett the first editor of the “Pilot,” exchanged his editorial job for a teaching position in the Braggadocio Consolidated school district. Wayman Foster, our comedian, is “wielding the rod” in the Hayward Consolidation. Ira Zohner and Clarence Utley, who have both embarked on the sea of matrimony, are teaching in the Holland Consolidation. We wish them happiness and success in both ventures. Welton foster’s conscientous work is making him as successful in his teaching at Brosley, Missouri as he was a student in C. J. C. Albert Brent seems to have strayed from our other “Pioneers” in choosing his profession. He is interested in various business ventures and especially in the art of home making, for he, too, has trodden the path of matrimony. Elma Fowler, the girl we all loved, is also employed in the Holland Consolidated District. Eula Darnell and Virginia Crider, after surviving the difficulties of College life, are teaching at Cottonwood. If Elizabeth Watson, who is employed in the Steele Consolidation, makes as efficient a teacher as she did a student in C. J. C. her success in the profession is assured. Mrs. Ruby Owen is successfully instructing children in the various branches of learning in the Hayti Schools. Essie Reed, teaching in the Mounds School, is diligently endeavoring to put into practice the principles of education that she learned in C. J. C. HE222 ■gs « •i'cluml Calendar Sept. 2—School again!!

Always race with locomotives to crossings. Engineers like it. It breaks the monotony of their jobs. Always pass the car ahead on curves or turns. Don’t use your horn; it may unnerve the other fellow and cause him to turn out too far. Always demand half the road—the middle half. Insist on your rights. Always speed; it shows people you are a man of pep even though they are amateur drivers. Never stop, look or listen at railroad crossings. It consumes time. Drive confidently, just as though there were not eighteen million cars in service. Always lock your brakes when skidding. It makes the job artistic. Always pass cars on hills. It shows you have more power; and you can turn out if you meet a car at the top. In soggy weather drive close to pedestrians. Dry cleaners appreciate it. Never look around when you back up. There is never anything behind you.—Transit Guest.

Congratulations It has been a pleasure for the staff of The Democrat-Argus to work with and for the staff of The Pilot in preparing and issuing their 1930 volume. We have found these boys and girls the high type of American young manhood and womanhood which marks their superiority over most peoples of the world. Our relations have been most pleasant with them and their sponsors and in addition to the pleasure we feel in turning out a work which will take its place alongside the works of art coming from any press, a volume of which we and they, we are sure, may justly feel proud, the contact with the young folk, with all the people of the school, has added to the enjoyment of the task. In completing and presenting to the Caruthersville Schools their 1930 Pilot, we congratulate the student body and the school as a whole upon the excellent work performed by their representatives who have edited and prepared its various departments, and commend the business men for their splendid cooperation in making it possible for the school to present to the public this monument to its work during the term of 1929-30. The Democrat-Argus Caruthersville, Missouri Miss Kellams is my teacher, I shall not pass; She maketh me to read lonjr assignments, She exposeth my ignorance to the whole class, She restoreth my sorrow, She causeth me to seek deceitful methods for my pride’s sake, Yea, tho I study unto midnight, f shall not gain any artisticness For the lessons in Art do puzzle me, And the drawings of these designs distresseth me. ! She giveth me low marks, My tears runneth over. Surely failure will follow me all the days of my life And I shall dwell in the Junior College forever.

When you open this annual in years to come, renewing memories that become more priceless with time, you will find the book still a thing of beauty. The fine binding by Beck-told will preserve it as an annual should be preserved for a lifetime of enjoyment. “Mother, if I get married when I grow up will I get a husband like my old man?” “Why, yes, dear.’’ “And if I don’t get married will I be an old maid like Aunt Susie?” “Yes, dear.” “Well, all I gotta say is that it’s a pretty ; tough world for us women, isn’t it, Mother?” Mother—“John, weren’t you good enough to make the team?’’ ! John—“Yes, but the coach wanted someone to observe the plays from the side-lines, and I volunteered.” We are proud to point to the 1930 Pilot as a fine example of the superb craftsmanship and artistry built up by the Becktold Company thru fifty years of experience in creating and executing covers of quality.
