' rl X 1 X HE sl SENIOR CLASS HISTORY SOUTH SIDE Three short summer months, and then we entered our first year of high school with the freshmen's customary misgivings and fears. In due course of time, we regained our composure enough to elect Mark Keller, President, W'illiam Miller, Yice-Presidentg and displayed excellrrzt taste, I must say itl in choosing Miss Marks as our class adviser. The following year, from the supreior heights of Sophomore-shipi' We elected Way ne iYolf our Captain, and Alice Powell our First Mate, with Miss Patterson lo act in the capacity of adviser. As juniors, we ascended to the ranks of Upper Classmen. Our officers were Michael Kinney, President: and Alice Powell, Vice-President. Under the super- vision of Miss White, our adviser, we gave our play, A.gatha's Aunt . The time has now arrived when we are the Elders of the school. Brother -lohn Cahill was elected President and Sister Avis Resek, Vice-President. Mr. Lancaster is our adviser. Our play, The Seven Keys to l3aldpat.e , was a very successful performance. Throughout the years we have been well represented at our class parties, in literary societies, and in athletics. Vlie have but one regret, and that is, that we must now leave our Alma Mater. NORTH SIDIL The class of '27 started out in IQ23 with Thomas Holahan at the helm, Carl Buchner as Yice-President, Gene Campbell as Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Kietzman as class adviser. As Sophomores we determined to make a place for ourselves in the Alma Mater. Wie chose Lawrence Beede as class President, Phyllis Roumaine and Oliver Rogers as Vice-Presidents, and Janice Barker Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Miller was chosen class adviser. Then as Juniors we elected John Kennedy as President, Erma Newman Vice-President, and Oliver Rogers again filling the capacity of Secretary-Treasurer. IVIr. B. Frazer was chosen class adviser. Next we entered the final step in high school education. Our eminent command- er is Harry Fordham: Yice-President, Donald Crews, Secretary-Treasurer, Eliza- beth Frey, and our class adviser is again Mr. Kietzman. The class of '27 leaves the old High with the best of memories. Our parties have been many, our troubles and disappointments few. Each member of the class enters the world feeling that the four years in Dixon High School has been the most enjoyable time of their lives.

In September, 1926, having survived two strenuous years, we re-entered Dixon High as 'GThe Jolly JUDIOTSH. Wie held our first class meeting October 2, and elected the following offcers: Miss XYELMA FAY VVHITE ..,. Clary Advifm' ESTHERBELLE MERCER , . Prefidfnt PAUL BROOKNER . . . . Vicf-Prefident LEO MILLER , . , Secreta1'y-Treafzwev' EDWARD HILLIKER . . Studznt Counril Reprefentaziz'f Our next step, the Junior-Senior party which was held in the gym October 15, was a huge success. Our very successful Junior play, Cyclone Sallyw, was given December 23, in the auditorium. We are very f'lucky this year in athletics, having given several good players to the teams. This has been a ha v as well as a successful 'ear for us and we are lookin , PP., u , , y N , g forward to becomin the 4 rni ht ' Seniors of I 28 . 3 S Y 9 NoRTH SIDE A It was but a short time ago that we first entered through the noble N. D. H. S. threshold as Freshies. In the first year, Richard McNicol was our leader in af- fairs, with Margaret Cleaver, Vice-President, Emma Mack, Secretary-Treasurer: with Mrs. Lazier for Adviser. Then the next year we felt more in the gang , That year Miss Cleary took the teacher's helm with Ronald Reagan, President, Ethel Crawford, Vice-President, John Dawson was Secretary-Treasurer. In our activities, we gave a party every year. Now we are Juniors. For the third time we chose our leaders. A competent President we found in John Dawson, Margaret Cleaver is his able substitute, with Rilla Ortgeisen taking care of the money. 'We ordered our rings this year and waited patiently CFD for them to come. Ohl but we were excited when they arrived. VVe are confident that they rank in the best bought in the history of the High School. 'With these three eventful years behind us, we await what will follow when Father Time draws back the curtain of the Senior class year. 37 'IH DI oN 'Qian ' ' vfuf F ! f ru . .

Student Council Rfp1'e.fentatiz'e The class party in the fall went off with a Ubangw, so we are eagerly looking forward to the Freshman-Sophomore Party in the spring. NORTH SIDE VVe have successfully reached the second stage of our education, we are now Sophomores. This means that we who entered High School in the fall of IQZS have worked and have, at last, received our reward. VVe have, as a class, held together. VVe came 'back in September, 1926, to accomplish bigger things than we did in our Freshman year, and we think we have succeeded. Our class gave a party which was a very enjoyable affair. VVe held several sales patronized by the student body which were successful. At our first meeting after vacation we chose Dorothy Prescott as President, Emerson Rorer, Vice-President, Ruth Ortgiesen, Secretary-Treasurer, and Kenneth Haines as delegate to the Student Council. VVe elected Mrs. Lazier as Class Ad- viser. Our Sophomore class is one ,hundred percent for the D. H. S., and during our future high school career ,we aim to establish a record second to none. 41 pf.-, Q X H E W Qvfr' I X ,J HSLLX M, K Y- mam Ht 4 WNW 'WSW 'W -Iuw D A RmNlIw'lluliuANASmSQ ALLIBONE, MILDRED ASHFORD, LEONARD BALES, MPXRX' BAKER, JOSEPHINE BARDWELL, CLARA GWEN BLACKBURN, DELBERT BONDI, FRANCES BOWERS, RUTH BOVEY, LUCY BRANTNER, XKIVIAN BRASKY, ELIZABETH BRIERTON, MILDRED BROOKS, GEORGE BURROWS, BERNICE BUZARD, GLEN BYERS, HELEN CARSON, SARAH CHIVERTON, FREDERICK CHRONISTER, ETHEL CLAY, XKTALORE COFFEY, LOUISE CONRAD, HELEN CONRAD, MARY COOK, HAZEL CURRAN, ROSE ANNA CURRENS, MARY DETWEILER, KENNETH DIMON, LUCILLE DOCKERY, HARRY DOCKERY, HAROLD DODD, GENEVIEVE DOWD, RALPH DOWNING, ARLETTA DREW, NTERONICA ELY, WALLACE ELY, ETHEL ERB, HOWARD ANDERSON, JOSEPHINE BARTHELMES, KARL BEEDE, OLIVE BRANDFELLNER, HELEN CREWS, CLINTON DRIPPS, BYRON ENO, MAX FELTES, JOHN FREY, JEAN GILBERT, MARIAN GRAHAM, FRANCIS GROVE, LAWRENCE 1 :I 'Y' , C .L QW M -Nmgqygiw gs lg' 7 I 5- g lm WWW ei C 2 - I E :JV W A W' W I 'ffl S 5 ff' 213 W .

At this fair, the two Ag classes put up exhibits, in which they competed for a dinner to be given by the losing side. There was also a corn show at the fair in which the Ag club boys won most of the ribbons. The club has planned to have a father and son banquet some time in April. Mr. Weiss is preparing a judging team for the sectional judging contest of farm animals, at the Rock River farms. He also has another team for the judging of grains in a contest which will be held at Dixon. Both teams will go to Urbana where they will compete in the state judging contest.

These classes have never been large but have always been interesting. lfach student is allowed much free Work with corrections, and sug- gestions are offered by Miss Guernsey. ln these four years a great variety of subjects have been worked on. One of the newest and most interesting ones is the portrayal of musical compositions through the medium of design and color. Craft work has also been carried on and many interesting projects vvorked out. Three of the art editors of the Dixonian in the past four years have been in the Art Class thus receiving much help and criticism. Cartooning, poster work, and designing have also been taken up. The Art Classes are gaining in popularity and may soon be a part of the regular curriculum. FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais was organized this fall by students of French II with Mrs. Lazier as sponsor. Meetings are held once a month at homes of various members. The programs of short talks, plays, historical sketches, songs, and instrumental numbers are presented by appointed groups of students and an effort is made to speak as much French as possible. A lively interest is taken in this club and a new View of France and its people presents itself through these meetings. 64 J lwf x 'Y' My ir Nlll mm is W ' 1 W 9, kfwww ,Sv Mx N 5 'Q' L mx N ' M i Q Emi as f f if i X , iw 1 ' .,.. 3 W Y fi wsu -V ' Swv-we as M m gram Ni V J f, ,ff S ,S Kiwis . gmlll i ' ' Q .

His identity is discovered and kept secret by Anna Hampton to save him from arrest, and because there is another Sir Hector, Francis Briscoe, impersonating him. Bill Laidlaw, Agatha,s nephew, who is spending the summer at the school centers his interest around Dulcie Dumble who is also at the school for the summer. Brisky Briscoe is in a bad position-he is called upon to teach French, eat oats, and many other uncomfortable things. Brisky also falls in love with Maude Mullen, a boarder at the school. Phoebe Beebe, the reporter on the Daily Deliverance, Perkins, a hick', sheriff, and Racker all try to solve the mystery of the twin Sir Hector, Fishs, and of robberies which have taken place. It is found out that Sir Hector can not be arrested for evading quarantine and Perkins is defeated in his good cause of arresting a criminal be- cause Sir Heck's 'fmumps ain't fatalw. 65 M 3 WT, ff f f?

'Aff 1 Q?a-M? NEVER TOUCHED ME On March 18th and Ioth, 1927 the North Side Seniors presented their annual play, '6Never Touched Me , a comedy written by Larry E. Johnson. The play centers around the misdealings of Edward Stanislaus Yanderberg who has dropped some two millions of dollars into VVall Street. Not only losing his own. money, he finds that he has unintentionally sold ten thousand dollars Tvorth of fake gold mining stock to Professor Barrett, the father of the girl he oves. Here Bill the Butch, an enterprising burglar, comes on the scene. He offers a solution by telling Vanderberg that the way to obtain ten thousand dollars is to die in some seemingly accidental way and collect on his ten-thousand dollar life insurance policy. Bill agrees to do the murdering for a thousand dollars which he says is dirt cheap . John Cullen, who has double-crossed Vanderberg and who is at the bottom of the whole plot, sees another chance to get his hands on gold by robbing the old Professor of his invention, LeatheretteH, and all the while Doctor Digby, who is Van,derberg's best friend, stands ready to help Van and to expose Cullen if he can. Uproarious comedy is predominant when the Doctor and Joyce, the Professor's daughter find Vanderberg and Millie, the Doctoris fiance in each others arms, Agnes, a nurse in training also does much to provoke mirth. Complications and further developments set in when, at the instigation of Cullen, the police arrive and assist Bill the Butch, whom they think is Vanderberg, to depart. It all comes out nicely in the last act. Doctor Digby proves himself the hero by making Vanderberg a few millions from his patent flashlight gun, although in attempting to explain matters he undergoes considerable embarrassment. Joyce and Vanderberg are reunited, Bill the Butch has been disposed of by the reliable Clancy, and Cullen has had the tables turned on him by Vanderberg, who has sold him Leatherette when he knows it is worthless. The success of this play has rested almost entirely with Mr. B. Frazer, whose untiring efforts have made possible the scenery, effects and the acting.

VVilliam Magee has made a Sgooo bet with his friend, Hal Bentley, owner of the Inn, that he can write a complete novel in twenty-four hours. That he may have solitude, the Inn is chosen as his workshop. He is met by the caretaker, Mr. Quimby, and his Wife, who turn over to him the only key to the Inn in exist- ence. He begins work at twelve o,clock, but is disturbed by Bland, Hayden's right hand man, who leaves a package of money in the safe, Mary Norton, a news- paper reporter who has come to write up the story of his wager, and with whom he falls in loveg Mrs. Rhodes, her chaperone, ,Iim Cargan, the crooked mayor of Reutong Lou Max, an exconvict, who is his man Friday: Hayden, President of the Suburban Railway, who is bribing Cargang Myra Thornhill, a blackmailer working with Max, Peters, the hermit, Iiggs Kennedy, chief of the police, and two other policemen. Five of the people have keys to the Inn. They are all trying to get the package of money, and are double crossing each other. Myra is shot, and Peters burns the money. To climax it all, Bentley appears with the seventh key. He tells Magee that he has hired this stock company to prove to him that his melodramatic stories are highly improbable in real life. The curtain closes but opens again on a scene showing the Quimbys and Magee with his completed manuscript. All these adventures have happened only in the story, and he has won his bet. 75 1 6 Ni' J wif ff' ' , H.

The gym was decorated for the occasion with purple and white streamers in a novel arrangement. Both classes were well represented in the throng of merry- malcers. The laughing and chattering of the guests gave much competition to Frank Gorham and his peppy orchestra. Punch refreshed the thirsty dancers, and everyone was reluctant to leave as the fatal hour drew near. THE SOUTH SIDE SGPHOMORE FROLIC On Thursday night, October 21, the present Sophomore class gathered in a gaily Purple and Wihite decorated gym for their annual party. A very unique idea of entertainment was carried out. The four sides which were chosen and named for different colleges, participated in Track Meet. The pole vault consisted of blowing feathers over a string and the 220 yd. dash was a three-legged race. Iowa received the most points during this merrymaking. A period of dancing was then enjoyed during which delicious punch was served. The jolly crowd departed for their homes agreeing that their class party had been a success. THE XGRTH SIDE SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY The Sophomore Class of ,ZQ opened the social year with a dancing party in Kindergarten Hall, November I2'El1, 1926. The Sophomores were very proud of giving the first party of the year. The very attractive decorations were in rainbow colors. Streamers were festooned from the corners of the Hall. At one end of the Hall was a large purple numeral, CHZQM. The music, which was furnished by Darby's Orchestra would have inspired anyone to dance. Punch was served to the merryrnakers. The party was considered a huge success as very few demanded the return of their admittance fee. 77 hx f fl Q7 X -' ir Qmegqiwts if at llvw -wt in W 26 c u f f ' if -'R T ' 'ff - , me l v t u ih '-' u ,J i A' 't ' it ti 'WET' iv I i THE SOUTH SIDE FRESHMAN PARTY On the evening of October zo, about eighty members of the class of '30 assembled in guise suitable for the celebration of Hallowe'en.

Coaches Bowers and McMasters expressed their pleasure in working with the '26 squads. For the first time in the history of the school, letters were awarded to the members of the lightweight football team. Our nine Hponiesf' received f'D's,' for their faithful galloping, and then seventeen first string men received D'sU. Richard McNicol was unanimously elected Captain of the 1927 squad. At the close of the program our faithful retiring Captain in a few well chosen words presented Coaches Bowers and McMasters with gifts from the teams. The remainder of the evening was happily spent in dancing at the South Side Gym. 77s F , fx N Q Emil.-wig! bv J L Wm f 141 N. i g '9 - 'YW Xe A g V V I, 5 - XG A A H1 WEN' lk 1' J f e ,x - gi iq .1 'ls Q i P FOOTBALL REVIEW OF THE SEASON The coaches at the beginning of the season faced a tough proposition. There were only live letter men back from the Championship team of 1925. They turned out a lighting teamg a team which did not win all its major games, but a team that fought to the end. Dixon 26 PoLo 0 The lirst game was played at Polo Sept. 25. The game was decided in the last hall when the Purple and White rolled up twenty points, The linal score was 26-O. Dixon 2 Gnnnsno 0 The following Saturday, Oct. 2, Ceneseo was met and defeated 2-O on their home field. The game was played in a sea of mud. If the field had been in any ht condition the score would have been larger. IDIXON 12 MfIGNDtJ'l'A 6 The team played their first home game Oct. 9. Nlendota proved to be their victims to the tune of I2-C. lVIendota tied the score 6 all in the third quarter. But on a series of passes and end runs, Dixon pushed over the Winning tally. DIXON 0 Rock FALLS 34 The squad, hit hard by ineligibilities and injuries, was easily downed the fol- lowing Saturday by Rock Falls. The score 34-O does not show the true relative strength ofthe two teams. Had Dixon only been up to form, things might have been different. DIXON 0 STERLING 13 Oct. 23, Sterling came up to Dixon with the idea of downing the Purple and llvhite once and for all. Sterling had two essentials, weight and strength. The game was played in a drizzle of rain. Sterling had two lucky breaks and took the game I3-O. It was Sterlingis hrst victory on our Athletic Field and maybe their last.

Sterling, the Conference Champions, were doped to beat their ancient rival, Dixon, by a lop-sided score. But as usual, they forgot one of Dixonis main traits, Hfightn. The Purple and White Warriors out-fought, out-gained, out-charged, and in other ways totally out-played Sterling in every department of the game. The playing field, thick with mud and ice, favored a heavy team. Sterling had the Weight but could not gain. Dixon's lighter men repeatedly carried the ball for 'cfirst and ten . The game was not a victory, but the Purple and White had the satisfaction of holding the Champions to even terms and of upsetting the proverbial dope bucket .

This yearls team won with a perfect record, playing IO conference games and one extra and winning every game played, This gave them the distinction of having IOOOOQ to their credit. It takes years of hard work and practice to produce such a team. It must be composed of players who are always willing to sacrifice their own record for the winning of the game. This excellent team work of the Dixon players was an outstanding feature during this season. Points win the game but the work of the whole team win the points. TJIXON 33 PoLo 13 The basketball season started blan. S with Polo playing Dixon on our home floor. Dixon was in fine shape for the first game of the year and were determined to win every game possible. Although Polo played a good game they were no match for the Dixon boys, for our players all seemed to be hit- ting the basket. .Xt the half the score was-Dixon I4-Polo 2. The game ended 33 to I3 in Dixon's fayor. Those storing the most for Dixon were fierdes with 5 baskets and Kennedy and ,loyce each 4. Dixon 33 POLO 13 On Blau. I4 Dixon went to Polo to play the return game. The game was played in Polois new lligh School gym which is very hue. The Dixon players considered it the best gymnasium in the Rock River conference. Dnly a small number of Dixon rooters accompanied the team on account. of the very cold weather and the deep snow. Polo made the first basket but soon after the Dixon team seored and taking the lead they held it throughout the game. Wienmau, after playing a won- derful game was taken till! on personal fouls at the end of the third quarterg lliliker, Teeter and Kinney were put in the game. The game ended with the same score as the previous one when Polo played played at Dixon' -Z3 to I3 in Dixou's favor. Kennedy starred with lo points. Dixon 25 Roux FALLS 15 Rock l alls came to Dixon -lan. IS with much confidence of bagging the game as Dixon had failed to win against Rock lfalls in basketball in the last two years. But the Dixon players thought different- ly and although they had played Polo the night before they were in fine shape for the battle. This was Dixon's first hard test and it was soon evident that the home boys were real basketball players, ln the first few minutes of play Dixon sunk 2 baskets forcing Rock Falls totake time out. At the end of the half, Dixon had I6 points to Rock l alls 9. The game ended with a score of 23 to IS in favor of Dixon. All the Dixon boys were shooting baskets, Joyce starred with 5 to his credit. The work of the guards, Wienman and Blackburn, deserves much credit in holding Rock Falls to I5 points. Dixon had won the first game in over 2 years from Rock Falls. DIXON 12 STERLING 11 Sterling High School, having one of the best teams in the history of their school and as yet not having been defeated, on jan. ZI met Dixon's team at Dixon. Much to Sterling's disgust this game had to be played as in former years in the same old Mattie . With both teams without a defeat this promised to be an interesting game. Kennedy started scoring with a long shot from near the center of the floor. Near the end of first half the score stood 3 to 3 and just as the whistle blew Kennedy caged another making the score 5 to 3, Dixon leading. Sterling came back strong and made 2 baskets. Then Gerdes found the basket, again tying the score. Sterling made a free throw and another basket, the score then being IO to 7 in favor of Sterling. Dixon came back with a free throw by Blackburn and a long shot by 'Wienman, followed by another basket by Kennedy. Sterling made one more free throw and the game ended with a victory for Dixon-Score I2 to II. D1xoN 11 MT. MORRIS 9 On jan. 18 Dixon Went to Rh. Kforris determined to add another game to their string of victories. Dixon fans were well reprerented at the game. During the first quarter Dixon piled up a lead of 7 to 3. :Xt the beginning of the 2nd quarter Kennedy was taken out of the game for 4 personal fouls, Teeter taking his place. Kft. Klorris steadily gained until they led by one basket. With onlv part of the last quarter to play, Blackburn became desperate and sunk a shot from back of the middle dis- tances. tying the score. Then just a few seconds before the whistle, Joyce made one of his famous side shots and the game was again Dixon's with a score of II to 9. DIXON 22 ROCHELLE 9 On Sat. glan. 29, Dixon played Rochelle in the Dixon attic . Rochelle had a good team and Dixon had played a hard game the night before at Kit. hlorris. The Dixon players seemed to be asleep during the first half and allowed the Rochelle team to pile up a score of 9 points making only 6 points themselves. But in the last half Dixon came back and played a wonderful game, hblding Rochelle scoreless and adding 16 points to Dixon's score, winning from Rochelle 22 to 9.

Feb. 5 to see one of the most important games of the basket ball season. lt was a hard fought battle with Rock Falls in the lead by 3 points at the half, score 8 to 5. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter Rock Falls 111ade 2 bas- kets i11 quick succession and then with Rock Falls 7 points ahead, Dixon got down to work and held Rock Falls scoreless for the rest of the game, bringing their OWI1 score up to within one point of a tie. Gerdes was fouled a few seconds before the whistle and made the one poi11t needed to tie the game. In an over-time period of 3 minutes Dixon fouled Rock Falls and they made one point. Then Gerdes sunk the winning basket for Dixon, the score being I4 to 13. Dixon had won its 7th straight victory. DIXON 19 ROCHELLE 11 Dixon drove to Rochelle on Feb. II for the return game with Rochelle in their spacious gym. Dixon rooters were well represented at the game. Blackburn started the scoring with a long shot which was followed with baskets by Joyce, Gerdes, and Kennedy, Dixon taking the lead and holding it until the end of the 3 quarter, when Rochelle crept up and tied the score. Wienman broke the tie with a beautiful long shot and Kennedy and Gerdes followed with baskets putting the game safe and adding another to Dixonls long string of victories. D1xoN 25 MT. TVIORRIS 24 On Feb. 18 Rlt. Morris met Dixon at Dixon. lf hit. Xlorris could win this game from Dixon they still had a chance to tie the conference. Their players were in better condition to win than they were when Dixon played at Kit. hlorris. But Dixon seemed to have uncanny success in making bas- kets and at the half the score stood 21 to IO in Dixon's favor. Dixon came back showing the same speed and soon had another basket. Then the fourth foul was called on Vllienman, our tall center and excellent guard, and he was out of the game on personals. Dixon stopped scoring and Mt. Morris began to make more baskets. Gerdes took Wienman's place at center and several subs were put into the game including Teeter, Hilliker, Kinney, and Sullivan .1X1t. Morris continued to gain until they were one point ahead of Dixon with about 2 minutes to play. Kennedy then got a good chance for a basket but was fouled. He was given 2 free throws and making them both the game was again won for Dixon. Score-Dixon 25, hit. Nlorris 24. Of Dixon's 25 points, Gerdes made II and Kennedy 12. DIXON 14 STERLING 11 Feb. 25. At last the day had arrived when Dixon was to play Sterling in a real gymnasium. It was the important game of the conference. Dixon had won every game so far and Sterling had lost only the game they played with Dixon in the attic . lt promised to be a battle royal. Every seat and all available standing room in the Sterling gym was sold out long before the day of the game. The lightweights played first and lost to Sterling. Soon after the first teams started to play Sterling succeeded in caging 2 long shots. Dixon also made 2 baskets in the first half. At its end the score was standing 4. to 4. Both teams came back determined to win but Dixon soon got the lead and held it to the end of the game. Score-Dixon 14, Sterling 11. Gerdes made the most points for Dixon but the outstanding feature of the game was Wienman's guarding and almost perfect team work of the Dixon players. With their victory over Sterling, Dixon had won IO straight games and were the undisputed champions of Rock River Conference. D1XoN 25 LANARK 11 As an extra game the Dixon team played Lanark at Dixon. Many rumors were heard of the success of the Lanark team but although they played a good game, it was soon evident that they were no match for the Conference Champions. Dixon's regular team played the ISI quarter and, with the score standing I2 to 0 in favor of Dixon, the entire champion team was gradually taken out and replaced by our excellent subs and the teams were more evenly matched. The regulars were again used for the last quarter, as a farewell to their Dixon friends on the home floor. The game ended with a score of Dixon 25, Lanark II. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Dixon drew Walnut for their first game of the tournament. Coach McMasters first string players piled up a big lead in the ISL quarter C19 to ol and the second team men were sent in, playing the re- mainder of the game. Final score, Dixon 25, Walnut 12. For the second game Dixon drew .Rock Falls and after having beaten them twice in the conference games, went down before them in D1xon's first defeat of the season. Rock Falls 17, Dixon 9. Dixon played the best throughout the game, their floor work was excellent but for some unknown reason they could not connect with the basket. Rock Falls next played Hooppole, easily winning by a score of 35 to 13. For the final game of the tournament Rock Falls played against Sterling, losing to Sterling I5 to 8. Thus Sterling won the District title. 87 -q w I P ' lv' 'wwey' l ' - .N Q . bw .-,,..1.- - :' 'r N'-' JOHN KENNEDY Captain Captain Kennedy through his Hoor work and scoring eye made himself the marked man of the team. The baskets scored were chiefly made either directly by Kennedy or by his team work. His calm, un- ruffled manner and coopera- tion with the rest of the play- ers proved his real worth as a leader. Jack pulled his team out on top through numerous tight spots. Dixon High School loses one of her great- est basketball players through his graduation. JUNIOR JOYCE Joyce played guard and cen- ' -ix '. ' ter. llc was counted as one 'i of the four very tall players on this years team. Always anxious to win he played an excellent game from start to Fnish. He was a good floor man and was partial to a long arched shot from the corner side line which often found the basket. He will be one of the best players for next years team. He has one more year to play. DELBERT BLACKBURN Blackie was one of our ex- cellent guards. He was cool and heady in play and covered his man well. Many of his long shots from middle dis- tances found the basket. He could always be counted on for his share of the points needed to win. This was his frst year with the Heavies and with two more years to play he should have a note- worthy career in High School basketball. KN i 5 sf vslf ' uw f 7lf!Wf s 4 at i bar fYlllil Iwfffkgm is 4 3 JOE GERDES This was Gerdes' first year on the Heavies and he has the honor of being high point man. He was one of our tall forwards and could always be depended upon for good work. He was a brilliant shooter and was also very eff cient on de- fense. A great deal is expected of Gerdes as he has two more years to play. HARRY WIENMAN Wienman played four years of basketball and has the dis- tinction of winning a letter each year. He was one of the best that ever played for Dixon High. He played cen- ter and this season after the tip-off changed to guard. Either as center or guard he was undoubtedly the best in Rock River Conference. As center Wienman was always capable of taking the tip-off from his opponent giving his team this advantage. On de- fense he covered his' man corn- pletely. He will be greatly missed as we lose him by graduation. EDWARD MURPHY Murphy managed one of the best basketball teams ever turned out of the Dixon High School and much of the credit for this should be given to him as our genial manager. He worked hard all the year striving to keep the team in good condition. He certainly earned the purple and white letter which he received. Z Q? Q26 ' .

Most of their players were new men and tak- ing all this into consideration they should be given much credit for playing many excellent games. They played hard and fast and will make good players for Dixon in the future. They played II games, winning3 and losing several others by only I point.

Charles CChuckj Keyes was our very able Captain, and set a very good example for the boys. In the first meet at Mt. Morris, Dixon was third. The men placed as follows: Keyes tied for second and third in the pole vaultg Hofmann won the high jump with Flaningam tieing for second, johnson, with a heave of one hundred and three feet was second in the discus. Dixon finished with a total of eleven and one-third points. There were no track events run off in this meet owing to the rain. On May 3rd, Sterling held their invitation meet. Here johnson won the discus, and Hofmann placed second in the high jump giving Dixon eight points. On May 8th the sectional meet was held in Dixon. The meet was won by Rock Island. johnson was third in the discusg McNicol was third in the javelin, and Keller was fourth in the high hurdles. Dixon totaled ten points in this meet. The dual meet with Polo was a walk away for Dixon. 'Polo won only two flrstsc in the half mile and in the low hurdles. Dixon won by large majorities in the discus and javelin. Beede was high point man with 21 points. Captain Keyes made a fine record in the pole vault. Wienman leaped 20 feet in the broad jump. Sterling won the dual meet here by winning every track event. Dixon won every field event. However Sterling's better balanced team won an easy victory. Keyes set a field record when he cleared the bar in the pole vault at II feet. The conference meet was held in Dixon. Sterling carried home most of the honors, winning the relay and meet. Johnson of Mt. Morris was high point man with three firsts. Captain Keyes was the best point getter for Dixon winning the pole vault and placing second in the broad jump. Crews ran a nice race in the mile, placing third. Hofmann won third in the high jump, and Beede was third in the 440 giving Dixon II points. The season was more successful than the preceeding one due to the able coach- ing of Coaches Cully and Bowers. 91 i. ,f . sa Illia im.

BOWERS Coach Bowers' record in Dixon is indeed enviable not only in athletics but as a friend to the boys in school. Mr. Bowers was the main instrumental figure in forming the Rock River Conference, which is now recognized as one of the strongest prep-athletic circles in the state. llis winning personality makes his boys strive harder and keep up his standard of clean play. Dixon has indeed been fortunate in securing a man of such caliber as A. C. Bowers. C'OAC'H D. R. Mc'MA.HTIGRS A new member was added to Dixon's coaching staff this year. Mr. lVlclVlasters is a graduate from the University of VVisconsin. He was a member of the basketball squad there and also has had some experience in football. Mr. McMasters coached the Heavies in basketball, and he Was lightweight coach in football. Mucli credit is due him for training this season's basketball team into conference champions. His lightweight football team also made a good record. He is a successful teacher and an excellent coach. Together with the desire to win the game, he has installed in the players the spirit of true clean sportsmanship. U4 , 'if W ye V-WSW!

P ' A X ' 31 'A,. in 1 s A CAT-ASTROPHE Early summer, a country road, a high powered car, a pretty girl, all the ele- ments of a perfect story. The car, a long, low roadster, purred smoothly as it sped along the highway. The girl who sat behind the wheel was hatless, her short bobbed hair awry, blowing in the wind. The machine, as though alive, responded to her lightest touch seemingly begging her leave to show its speed and power. Her foot outstretched, touched the accelerator and pushed it closer to the floor. The speedometer gauge moved slowly from 50 to 55, to 6o, to 65, and crept alarm- ingly near the red dot signifying 70 miles an hour. The girl, seeming oblivious of the rate at which the landscape was flashing past, raised one hand as if to brush aside a lock 'of hair which had blown across her face. The car, roaring along the road, neared the top of a short hill, and the girl, looking straight ahead gave a cry of horror. Gripping the wheel with both hands she thrust the brake pedal to the floor. The big tires, feeling the pressure of the brakes, sought to grip and hold the road. The brake bands fairly screamed out their agony as the girl, her face tense, attempted to exert a still greater pressure on them. She stared straight ahead, her gaze riveted to a spot in the road toward which the machine was hurl- ing itself in spite of her eiqorts to stay it. Traction was lost, the wheels bumped and slid, throwing the car from side to side. A tire came off, and the car, still moving at a good rate of speed, was thrown off the road. A wheel cracked from the force of the impact, and the brakes, unable to do more, groaned as they bore the terrific strain. A back wheel slid off into the ditch and the car came crashingly to a stop, tilted at a crazy angle. The machine, as it lay half on its side in the ditch was very much 'fhors de combat . One back wheel was hopelessly crushed, both back tires were missing, the car rested flat on the differential, which was half torn out of its place, but the girl breathed a sigh of thanksgiving. At least she was not a rnurderess. She leaped lightly from the seat and ran to the center of the road. She stooped and picked up the cause of the difficulty--a black and white kitten. H. L.

I had always taken to literature, and when I entered College I had complete charge of publishing the school paper and was editor. About once or twice every semester, I put in a ripping storyfso they told me. I completed my College course and determined to go to New York, which was then my field of fancy, and enter into my literary career. I had once met a great modern fiction writer at a College club where, as chairman, I introduced him as the speaker of the evening. Ile had given me his card and told me to come to him if I ever visited New York. I certainly felt that I needed some one to go to after I had my first view, though small, of that great seething metropolis. I felt, however, that I should prove my ability before I showed myself to anyone. Therefore, I found a cheap boarding place, hired a typewriter, and started in the following morning to prove it. I wrote incessantly for two weeks, turned out three short stories, and sent them to the leading magazines of the day. Of these three stories, the result of two weeks' hard labor, l received only twenty-five dollars from one of them, and the other two were returned. Finally I decided to go to see lVlr. Fairfield. I took with me my latest futile attempt at a short story for his inspection. As I hurried in the direction of his address, I found myself in the region of one of the largest and most pretentious apartment buildings, in the city, in which he lived. Brook Fairfield, as I first viewed him, looked the same as he now did. He did not remember my name but recognized me at once. After I had mentioned that I was the one who had been chairman of the literary club where he had given his interesting talk in my home town, Fulton, he said, Well, Roland, I am glad that you have followed your inclinationsf' After several minutes' conversation. he reached for my manuscript and pro- ceeded to read it. During his reading, I permitted my eyes to glance over his quarters. Every article had a rich sheen, from the gate-legged mahogany table to the lamp and leather bound books upon it. In a great many ways they seemed related to Mr. Fairheld. There was that characteristic over-laden look, which so accompanies older men, I had been turning over the pages of a book on the table, as it happened, the first edition of what proved to be a very popular novel, Main Streetn, by Sinclair Lewis, when I looked up to find the eyes of the great author firmly fixed on me. Then he began to speak. My boyf' he said. this is the work of an artist, but if you are to become a sinister, penetrating writer of modern fiction like myself, you must open things, make them bare to the world. to the cheap, to the narrow-minded, to the broad- minded. to a world of minds for the criticism. Let them think what they may, but before that I must add. learn people. read men, women, learn real lifeI IUO Ni' lf N, awsimp www s 'N I ' I- Rgswelumn A Wfsgfg S wg,-my ,x hxx . . s ji 2 .lraeamniilm Mimiigkiiiiiiinilia can 1 's- fri' . s Pt' I 3 ix? HF '.-, f'See the different kinds of people, from the great minds of the day to the cheap people, cheap minds in the cheap theatres. It is repulsive to learn life that well, the glittery, the tarnished, the hard barren sort of life, but think of the gold at the end, the wealth of mind. I mean the thing you strive for, your success, your goal. Then you will see the large wholesome open side of life, and next, the most open side of all, the kind which you know best, yes, country folk, who think of nothing but the yesterdays and tomorrows, the healthygrowth of their children, their home, their people, those people! He ended this last with a sigh, as if something had been lost, in the past. I learned! Oh, how those years of hard work, clashing with realities every day, is burned into my memory. The opener of the road for me certainly had an inhnitively broad mind, but how I wished sometimes in my moments of despair he had not imparted so much to me of his learning. I did write, I wrote in torrents and every editor seemed glad to print my stories. I never had any trouble in sending my stories to any magazine or paper. My books were printed by the best publishers in America, but I played with life, and the people who played with me were not friends of rny own, friends of Fairfield? No, he had no friends, he could push them from his path at any time. Most of them played with him, but it was the extremes to which they went with no thought of each other. Oh, why should it be so? I was worth thousands of dollars, when finally I left that city which had been home to me for the past five years. I-Iow long they seemed to me then, and packing part of my belongings I turned again in the direction of that little college town. During my absence, my brother who was three years younger than I, had been graduated from the high school and had entered college. I was met at the train by some of my old class mates, undoubtedly, who wanted to see the Mauthorn and was escorted to my father's home. Everything went well. My father and mother beamed proudly across the table, but the third day, a sort of restlessness swept over me and resulted in a nervous breakdown. My mind and my body were not big enough and healthy enough but that they would give Way beneath that terrible strain. I lay a week in a delirious state. while the nurse looked patiently on. What I may have uttered during that time, I do not know, as I have never been told. It must have been dreadful, for I could have dispatched my whole method of learning without having known it. About a month afterward, I was sitting again on the porch that faced the college campus. I believe that during this time, I lived again my boyhood days while my strength was mending the worn places in my body. At any rate when at last I was entirely well I no longer followed the great author's advice, for that which was once authority was now sarcasm. I never wrote again the books I had Written before my illness, I gave that credit to someone else. I was made professor of Literature in the college the following year. I never told my scholars to read people, but to look out on the sun covered fields and see God! L. D., '28, 101 T.. 'Ya wk?

Dear Bill: As you notice this letter is written from the Red Dog Inn at Canyon City, Colorado. You can easily surmise that I have completed about half the journey to the west coast. It surely is some trip, especially through Iowa. As you lived there most of your life I guess I can't tell you anything new about the Iowa mud. And do those Iowa farmers charge to pull you out of that stuff? Oh, no, they are just bandits without a mask. Why, one old hayseed had the crust to lift ten dol- lars from me for dragging my Ford out of a little three foot ditch. Nebraska wasn't so bad. But did you ever hear anyone that lived in Nebraska talk? VVowl I heard an old whiskered fellow handing a line to a traveling sales- man from the old home state, Illinois. Before he finished he had me thinking that Chicago was just a little dump where only the midnight express and the freight trains stopped for water. And the Nebraska corn! It seems that Nebraska raises three-fifths of the nationis eorn crop, half the hay, most of the spuds, and all the world's output in several other things. It was all very good I thought, but he forgot the statistics on how many liars Nebraska produced. This hotel where I am staying over night is quite a place. It is about as old as time, half the windows are out, and the other half were never put in. It seems this town, Canyon City, was quite a place in the olden days, someone discovered gold in the Arkansas River which runs through here. Naturally every hobo, crook, and skinflint in Colorado came to get a share in the diggings. The result is still to be seen, as Canyon City is about as straggling and filthy a town as one cares to see. I thought I would see some real honest-to-goodness cowboys out here but I guess they are all the drug store kind. As today is the third of July I am planning to go to Pikeis Peak over the Fourth. It is only a little more than twenty miles from here. Your Old School Mate, C.

D., '28, MUSIC Music consists of a train of orderly vibrations which falling upon the ear pro- duce the sensation known as a tone. The quality and color of a tone depend upon combinations of pitches and the volume upon the amplitude of the vibrations. It is the variation of tones and pitches,of volume and of count that constitute music. Music can probably express our emotions better and affect them more com- pletely than either prose literature or art. lt can express griefg express faith and promise as in the Wedding March from Lohengrinug or devotion and appeal as in Marguerite,s Prayer from Faust or in whole themes of operas as in Parsifalg or it can express love and happiness as in O Sole Mio . It can create an atmos- phere such as that of a meadow scene or a country village and can often times control our emotions. VVhen we are happy it is in sympathy with us and when we are downcast it is a friend, and cheers us, or as shown in the poem L'Alexandcr,s Feast, music can play folly with the hardest of hearts. Music can be better likened to poetry as they both have a rhythm. They were once the same form, as in the chant. Later they became two separate forms but now are used together in the song, which is one of the most popular forms of today. Music ranks with art. literature and philosophy as a study and recreation. Great men who End music their favorite diversion are Charles M. Schwab, who is an ardent devotee of music and has written several articles on it, Charles Enstein, who is an accomplished violinist. and Ralf Modjeska, builder of the Philadelphia- Camden bridge. who is a pianist. Music as we have it today is young in comparison with literature. It had its place in the history of civilization. among primitive people there was beating of tom toms and chanting. among the Hebrews there were harps and choirs, and among the Greeks were accompaning instruments and choruses. It was not until the early Eighteenth Century. a hundred years after Shakespeare that Bach in- vented one ofthe simplest elements of music, the counter point or harmony. About the same time the piano and violin were invented. It was not until after this time that there lived any now recognized Masters of Music whereas there have been Masters of Literature for 3.000 years. 104 .fi19J!!23I 5 EEWEUWYWY flvf as-aaa-vnimxlswmgaariiiis A E i i .,, J, VVith these and other inventions music is becoming more prominent. Science has done much for it. The phonograph which has recently reached a higher degree of perfection, gives us the world,s artists whenever we are in the mood for them. Much credit is due the phonograph. It is difficult to imagine the time when the only music that was heard were the concerts given in the large citiesg when there were no theatres or orchestras, and only a few people were interested in music. That we as a country are more appreciative of good music is shown by the fact that the great artists find their best audiences in America and also by the number of orchestras we support. The radio is an extension of our acquaintance with music. Through it we come in contact with good music every day. At first only amateurs appeared on the radio program but now the best artists are heard through a number of stations so that the same program is distributed over the whole country. It is fast culling out the bad and helping the good and also creating greater activity in the field of music. A vote taken recently by an Eastern radio station shows the orchestra to be the most popular form of entertainment, the violin the most popular solo instrument and a preference for classical music. Music is becoming a recognized part of education and much is being done to teach it in our schools. In larger cities an innovation along musical lines is Har- monica Bands. Since harmonicas are very easy to learn to play, these boys, under a director, ouickly learn the principles of music and are able to render classical selections. The result shows that 37 per cent of the boys who before entering the Band played no musical instrument have since taken up the study of some other instrument. The advantages of music to the individual are many. VVe are in an age when everyone specializes in a chosen profession and is so engrossed in the problem of earning money that they know very little outside their own line. Music affords a diversion different from most recreations because it is cultural and gives a broader and fuller outlook. Music is very entertaining and one who plays or sings can give enjoyment to groups. An advantage from a monetary point is in being able to earn one's way through college. I believe the practical application of music in everyday life of ordinary people is greatest of all its uses. D. C., ,27.

Catherine must go,', he muttered as he absently stroked the Wolfish dog at his knee,- yes, both Catherine and her weakling son,', and with the air of having made a weighty decision, he left the room. Philip had long hated and envied the more fortunate branch of the Medici family, and now, as France was aroused and disturbed by the affair of St. Bartholo- meW's live, he planned to make away with his cousins and seize the throne. Hmmmm, mused the notorious Catherine as she read the invitation to spend some time with her Hhumble and loyaln cousin, Philip. Hmrnmm, never heard of him, and then as another scheme entered her head,- but We will go. Say to the messenger that His Majesty Charles and Her Highness Catherine of France will deign to spend a fortnight with their cousin Philipf, All was ready. Vlithin the next half hour, that Witch Catherine and her witless son would enter the banquet hall and partake of the glorious poisoned feast spread at the upper end of the long table. So thought Philip as he hurried here and there rubbing his hands in fiendish glee. Ah, it would be beautiful,- beautiful. She would writhe on the floor in agony and he,Hhe would laugh and drain a cup of wine carefully selected for himself. But it were Well that he fortify himself with a drop of the liquid now, and seizing a cup he held it to his lips. A look of horror passed over his face, and with a shriek of pain and anger he fell to the floor. llis failing eyes saw Catherine step from behind the Wall eoveringsg his dulling ears heard her peal of laughter. and he realized at last that his crafty cousin had outplayed him.

As she read. she registered in agonized expressions the emotions of her heroine. It was just as she was on the verge of tears that she was interrupted. Startled, she jumped to her feet and was confronted by a young man who immediately thrust a package of needles and a card into her hands. HI am deaf and dumb, she read. - Not wishing to be a burden to society, I am selling this package of useful articles as a means to secure a living. Sybil forgot her own embarrassment in her pity for this gentleman. Motion- ing him to be seated, she hurried away for some money. And when she returned she found him holding her book, one finger idly rubbing a damp blotch which an offending tear had made. He eyed her quizzically. HDid this book really make you cry? he asked softly. Sybil started violently. 'LI-I thought you were-were dumblw The young man smiled, and if she hadn't been so amazed, she would have noticed what a really delightful smile it was. One can be dumb a couple of ways, you knowf, And aren't you deaf, either?7' ' f'Only to the things I don't want to hear.'7 His smile broadened. My wordln Sybil gasped. Summoning as much dignity as she could, she looked squarely at him. Fraud! she exclaimed with fine scorn. 'CI certainly wouldn't think that a young and apparently healthy man like you would have to encroach upon one's emotions to make a living. Is that the best you can do? Do you hear me, or have you chosen to be deaf? I'm never deaf to ladies, he replied gravely, though his eyes still held a hint of laughter. Sybil eyed him coldly for a few minutes. I suggest that you get a MAN'S job because you certainly make a DUMB dumb-manll' She turned on her heel and disappeared into the house. The young man stood gazing at the closed door, and then, smiling, he took a pencil from his pocket and wrote rapidly across the top of the page: HI am sure that I shall profit by your advice-and please don't cry over this book. It isn't worth it.'7 It wasn't until a week later that Sybil saw the 'CDUMB dumb-man, as she was wont to call him. She was about to cross a busy street corner when he offered her his arm, i Permit me, Miss Feld, he said. Sybil looked up, and though she really didn't mean to, she took his arm and smiled her prettiest for him. 107 W' -ta' ' ir 'situ'-sara I 'ii 'su ' '.

From then on, Sybil was swallowed in the whirlwind of delightful plans which Jack always had at command. Ilowever, even the best of budding romances are suspended at some time or other, and this one was no exception. Jack kept closely to his apartment for fear of missing the mail man, While Sybil was at the bedside of a favorite aunt. Iiach day he was rewarded with a little note from her, and though they were nothing out of the ordinary, to Jack they breathed of everything that was delightful, everything that was Sybil-like.

He rushed into the house and nearly knocked over the dignified butler who dutifully tried to open the door for him. Miss Field-Where is she? In the garden, sir. Lower terrace, I believe, sir.

But the affectionate salutation is the result of my untold joy. f'For we have met the enemy and they are oursf, Tuesday night our troops were absent from the Rock River posts, Forts N. D. H. S, and S. D. H. S., and due to a false messenger, the faculty learned of this. In the dark hour before dawn, a detachment led by General B. Kietzman and Major B. Frazer, entered the North Fort and massacred the sleeping guard detail, which was under the command of First Lieutenant Monohan. f,Note brother, I am only describing the battle of N. D. H. S., as my company fought there. How- ever. we could hear the sounds of the battle from the south.j After Ending our fort unoccupied, and also finding some orders to the effect that the French and Latin troops, together with some Mathematicians, were moving in at nine in the morning. they put their heads together and formulated this terrible manuever: The batteries of the fort were reconstructed, and turned on the assemblies. They were then disguised, the eastern one was made to resemble a deskg you know that's the one thatis between the piano and the encyclopedias, while the elevated howitzers to the north were covered by a hanging calendar and a pencil sharpener. At nine o'clock our allies plunged into the jaws of death. With no heavy artillery. and armed only with fountain pens and blotters, they fought bravely. Time and again they charged the remodeled batteries, only to be mowed down by the flashing sheets of white paper, and the printed question forms. All morning the air was murky with the haze of ink. Problems and dates burst over their heads. , Then a wounded messenger staggered into Fulf's where our company was billeted. Before he had flnished his tale of gore and carnage we were in the saddle. You should have heard the cheers that greeted us as we burst through the gates of the fort. Behind us a fresh group of Sophomore English charged to the east. where a group of Freshmen were covering the retreat of some exhausted Seniors from the Province of Civics. Some Senior English went to the west corner to aid a company of Physics Juniors as they directed the fire of a party of Freshman Botanists. Our company of trained Junior Historians charged the north battery, and from this swept on to the eastern guns, destroying every paper in our path. After capturing the invaders, we helped with the wounded .Then I succumbed to my injuries. I am suffering from French Condition. It must be catching as there are eight of my messmates suffering too.

'Tis some upper classmanfl tholt I, tapping at my chamber door: Only this, and nothing moref, Ah, distinctly I remember, ,Twas in the bleak December, And the Gallic VVars of Caesar lay mapped fin rnindj upon the floor, Books about the room lay cluttered, but not one thought to me they uttered, For I feared the coming morrow with its load of woe and sorrow, And had vainly sought to borrow - thoughts of wisdom for the tests we all abhor, Cursed to the student here forevermore. Presently my heart grew stronger, hesitating then no longer, Sir, I said, whatever caused you to come rapping, to come tapping To arouse me from my napping by your rapping on my chamber door? Cease, I pray you, and knock no more. Silence then and nothing more. Then I rose, flung wide the portal, and saw what no one mortal Will ever See, has ever seen before. For there in the door-way standing, 'With a countenance all commanding with a scornful smile that curled upon his lip, Stood the thing that comes to curse us more and more. There it stood with face all smiling, my gravest fears beguiling The dread of all we scholars, the failure slip. Then it spoke, this apparition, Conhrming my suspicion: You are failing, failing, failing far worse than eler before, And now you l-:now the reason why I come at this one season And by my rapping, rapping, rapping arouse you from your napping 112 fwwx v ls' i- sg f IW wvfwvsfvfw QQ J.

The gentle breeze swept across the tall prairie grass, rustled the leaves of the tree and soothed the boy's hot forehead. He roused a bit, 'flVIother, mother. this time louder, then, Where am Ig oh, I know, I was chasing a butter- fly. How beautiful and I was tiredf' VVith this last he drowsed again. Then he muttered. 'CAs hard to find as the rainbow's pot of gold. He dreamed. How queer, he wandered through a primeval forest. Birds of brilliant plumage passed above him and filled the still air with their songs. He was running down a long mossy trail with tall trees on either side. Spacious green meadows bordered it on one side and a sky of azure blue and pinks and lavenders was above. He paused on his journey however, several times. On every side were things he had sought for, for a long time but as he neared them, they would vanish and melt away in the forest's gloom. Finally he was awakened when a fiery ray of the sinking sun pierced through his eye lids. He slowly rose to his feet and trod home, meeting his dog, Rover, at the gate leading to the house. Still his dream's reality persisted, he was troubled. He must have lost some- thing for he had searched for it in his dream. Everything he had sought for had melted away and become insignificant. ' That evening as the cooling breeze entered the open window, cooling the sheets and soothing the boy,s hot forehead, he thought again of his dream. His motherfs presence, he felt in the room As he knelt by her knee to express his thankfulness for the dayfs pleasures, he looked into his motherfs face. Then as she returned his glance, he turned to the window and she stooped to kiss him. VVhat he saw there arrested his gaze. It drifted in with the breeze, gold, yellow, bronze, azure. lavender. It paused a moment, then rested on the motherfs brow. The boy slowly reached up and softly caressed the powdery radiance of the butter- ffy's wing. Then it slowly rose and few out of the window. - Mother, son, butter- fly, his rainbow's pot of gold. L. D., '28. AT PARTING Summer is gone.
