QQ., ' J 21 ix ff CLASSES DIXONIAN 1929 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY SOUTHSIDE As Freshmen, the class of ,ZQ entered the portals of the high school with pal- pitating hearts in September of 1925. It made a successful start with the selection of Loren Lair as president. The leader for the next year was Edward Kinney, and his successor proved to be Ruth Leydig. In the fall of '28 it began its career as a Senior Class. The following officers were chosen: EDITH SLOWOTHER ...... Prffident REUBEN SCHAFER . Vicz-Prefident JOHN PADGETT . . Sfcretary- Treafurer EMMERSON RORER . . . Student Council NIR. LANCASTER ....... Advifor The many class affairs have been greatly enjoyed by all. The remaining social events are being eagerly looked to. The Senior class showed its versatility by successfully presenting '4The Lucky Breakf' and 'C Come Out of the Kitchenf' They were ably directed in these by lVIiss Velma White, and Miss Eneroth. u NORTH SIDE This year's Senior Class entered N. D. H. S. in the fall of 1925 as green Fresh- men. It did not take us long to become acquainted and at the election of Officers Walter Watkins was made President. In IQ26 we returned as experienced Sopho- mores with Dorothy Prescott in the President's chair. Our leader for the junior year was hf.X Eno and the following officers were chosen for the last year: TRENE WEYANT ....... President JOSEPHINE ANDERSON . . . . Vice-P1-ffident DOROTHY PRESCOTT . . Secretary-Treafurer JOHN FELTES . . Studfnr Council Reprefentaziue MR. FRAZER ...... Clay: Aduifor I The class of ,ZQ has taken a prominent part in all activities and, throughout the four years in high school, has ranked high scholastically. In 1928 the class gave a banquet to the Seniors of 728 which marked the peak of our social endeavors. However many other parties were given during the years that were enjoyed immensely. YVith the assistance of Mr. Frazer we gave two successful plays, The Brat as Juniors, and Nothing But the Truth as Seniors. Page 18 DIXONIAN - 1929 DOROTHY ANDERSON , . .

A class meeting was held and the following officers chosen: Arthur Teeter, Presidentg Hale Barton, Vice-President, Roberta Keyes, Secretary and Treasurerg Etta Finney, Student Council member, and Miss Heinle as class advisor. The Freshman party was held and was a huge success. The Freshmen boys did their bit in Athletics gaining for us a few laurels. The first lap of the journey was finished and they waited eagerly for the next year. In 1927 the Freshies came back but were then Sophomores. A class meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers to guide them through the second lap of the journey and these were chosen: Ruth Keyes, President, Douglas Curran, Vice-President, Charlothe Brooks, Secretary-Treasurerg Arthur Teeter, Student Council and Miss Young, Class Adviser. The Sophomore party was held and was a big success. The second lap was as successful as the first. In 1928, the third lap of the journey began and they were jolly juniors. The leaders for this year were: hfliss Cleta VVhite, Class Advisor, Roberta Keyes, President, Douglas Curran, Vice-Fresidentg Viola Vaage, Secretary, NIerna Suter, Treasurer, and Harold Dockery, Representative in the Student Council. The junior play HA Full House was given and was a most successful one. The Junior-Senior party was held and was a rollicking success. Now they have finished another lap and are waiting for the last one when they will be lVIighty Seniorsf' NORTH SIDE We, the juniors of'29 are entered on the third lap of our scholastic race of early life.

However,after the first few days of confusion and general disorder, they became acquainted with the now very familiar rooms and managed to find their way around. In October came their first social eve11t, a masquerade which was eagerly attended and in May they joined with the Freshman for a party, also a success. The Class Officers for that year were: ROBERT REDFERN , . ,.... Preridznt CHARLES CURRAN . . . Vz'cf-Prefident IVIARGARET LELAND . . Secretary-T1'eafu1'er Avis CROMWELL , . .

Our class, a band of bewildered children, was led to the upper floor of the little red schoolhousei' with all attending pomp and glory. It is needless to say how important and super- ior we considered ourselves. Our heads swelled and our hearts beat proudly, but alas, all feeling of nobility vanished, as the year progressed. Disdainful looks cast by the upper classmen, soon shattered our very wildest dreams. Our leaders were as follows: ' JOHN DIXON . . . Prefidfnt ELIZABETH JAMES . Vice-Preridenz VVOODY THOMPSON . .

D. H. S., on March I and 2, 1929, presented 'fNothing But The Truth, a comedy in three acts. Much time and work were expended by the cast and director on the play but the success of the play amply rewarded it. A great deal of the playls success was due to the efforts of the production staff and to the cooperation of the various classes in aiding in the sale of tickets. Special mention should be made of the untiring efforts of the director, lVIr. Frazer, who insured the success of the play at the beginning.

Having fallen in love with another girl at college, he sends his chum George Taylor, who closely resembles him, to substitute for him at the week-end party. He arrives amid preparations for a Spanish fiesta and finds Sylvia more charming than her photograph. Unexpected guests in the persons of Sir Percival Chetwood and Nl. Rene LeMon arrive. They are welcomed as distinguished noblernen by Mrs. Nlont- gomery and invited to stay for the festivities. That night while the guests are dancing, a robbery takes place, and suspicion is turned on George, who is forced to disclose his identity. Things look dark for him until the guilty parties are brought to justice. A telegram from the real Bob announcing his marriage leaves George to finish the story in the approved fashion.

Each one seemed particularly fitted to his or her part, and much credit is due to the excellent direction of Nliss Olga Eneroth. The story holds the attention all the time, the action is rapid, the situations are humorous, and possible, and the dialogue entertaining. The plot centers around the Dangerfields, members of an old Virginian family, who are in reduced circumstances, with the father and mother abroad, and the father very ill. There- fore when a wealthy northerner wants to lease the house, occupied by the children, with four white servants, all the members of the family volunteer their services, their identity to be a secret, in order to be able to assist their parents financially. Complications arise, funny and otherwise, and the young northerner becomes much interested in the servants, some of whom areidischarged because of course they have no training. The story progresses to a happy ending with several love scenes indicated. Olivia Dangerfield, alias jane Ellen Elizabeth Dangerfield, alias Araminta . Mrs. Falkener, Tucker's Sister .

The play was given April I2 and 13, 1929 in the Kindergarten Hall. That the play was a huge success is attested to by the large crowds present both nights. The cast was well balanced, all playing their parts naturally. lVluch time and effort went into this play both on the part of the players, and the pro- duction staff. The cooperation of the Junior Class and other classes in selling tickets aided greatly. Nlr. Frazer, the director, deserves special credit for his part in the production of the play.

During the first few minutes of the game Blackburn our captain was injured and the team could not get going again. Amboy succeeded in scoring 32 points. D1xoN o-NIENDOTA S4 Our next game was on October 6 with Nlendota. Blackburn,s absence was easily noticed, and Dixon could not score. Mendota had a fast team and our backs could not pick out the holes very easily. DIXON o-Rock FALLS IQ Rock Falls was our next opponent on October 13. It had been raining a great deal, and the field was very muddy, thus making it hard for the fellows to hold on to the ball. lVIany fumbles occurred. Dixon was unable to score. DIXON I2-STERLING o Our first victory was over Sterling on October 19. The team had been trained intensively and the line was good on defense. The team worked together very smoothly. The backs ran hard for every inch they could gain and were rewarded with two touchdowns. It was by far the best game of the season. Dixon showed a semblance of its old form. The team worked as a unit, both on offense and defense. Thus Dixon achieved its first victory of the season. NIT. RflORRIS 261DIXON O The team then attempted to overcome Nlt. hlorris which had a speedy team. Various trick plays that fooled the ends resulted in 26 points in favor of Mt. Nlorris. SAVANNAH 261DIXON 6 Our next game was with Savannah. Dixon started out strong and succeeded in making a touchdown. Then Savannah started and overcame the lead. Dixon could not again succeed in scoring against the powerful team. ROCHELLE 40-DIXON O The following Saturday we met Rochelle one of the strongest teams in the Conference. Rochelle succeeded in piling up of 33 points in the first half. In the second half Dixon came back strong determined to score but were unable to do so. OREGON 6-DIXON o Again a muddy field when we played Oregon. lVe played them off their feet for some time but were unable to score. It was a hard fought game. Finally Oregon scored a touchdown in the second half. STERLING I9-D1xoN 7 At last the final game of the season, Turkey Day. Vxfe had succeeded in de- feating Sterling once and believed we could do it again, but the backs were unable to gain any ground. On one certain trick play Sterling made three touchdowns and kicked a goal. During the last few minutes Dixon scored a touchdown and kicked a goal. Lack of time gave Sterling the game.

Roy has one more year. DAN KAUFFMAN , Quarterback Dan stepped into the quarterback berth and filled it like a veteran. Dan hails from Mendota where he gained some experience. Kauffman was good on handling punts, and always used his head. Next year he should go hot. ROBERT LESAGE . Right Guard After gaining one year of experience Bob came out to earn a letter. He was one of our big factors in the line, both 'n Wei ht mability.

He played a hard, fast heady game which, again and again gave the opposing team trouble. Unfortunately, he also graduates. RAYMOND DANIELS . . . Fullbacle Daniels is a natural born football player. He can run, pass, and kick with extraordinary ability. Daniels was high point man for the season and with three more years to play for the D. H.

John was a deadly tackler and a hard tighter. He also receives his diploma this spring. CARL PLOWMAN Left End Carl played on the left extremity of the line. His ability to break up interference and nail the runner came to the front in many of the games. As he is only a Sophomore, he should develop into one of the best wing men Dixon has ever had. CHARLES PLACE , Right End This is Chuck's first and last year of football for the D. H. S., and he certainly made it a good one. He was a good man on defense, either driving the play into the tackle, or smash- ing the runner on the line of scrimmage. We are sorry to lose Chuck. EMMERSON RORER Right End Although playing his first year of heavy- weight football, L'Em came through in great shape. His ability to hook passes out of the air made him a dangerous man.

The Lightweights played wonderful football throughout, and should send some very good players to the Heavies next year. Throughout the season the players showed the fighting spirit that has been synonomous with the name Dixon. The first game of the season was with Nlendota. It was a hard battle from the first whistle to the last, but the team came through with a I2-o victory. This proved to be an auspicious beginning. In the next game the team met Rock Falls. The superiority of Dixonis fight- ing team was never in doubt at any time. They outplayed Rock Falls in all phases of the game, and earned their I3 to o victory. The next game was the clash with Sterling, our ancient rival. It was just too bad for Sterling. It proved to be a gala occasion, with our team on a rampage seeming to score at will. Sterling was forced to return home with a 26-o defeat. On the day the Dixon Heavies played Rochelle, the 'cLights'7 had a game with the Polo Heavies,' at Polo. Here in the early part of the first half, a Polo player picked up a fumble and raced 70 yards for the only score of the game. From then on the two team's play was on a par, but Dixon was forced to take the short end of a 6-O score. The season closed with the game with Sterling. This was held after school before the Thanksgiving day game in order to give the spectators and players more chance to enjoy Thanksgiving day. Again the team put forth their greatest effort, as for many it was the last game they would play for Dixon High. The final score was 26-o in favor of Dixon. Thus a very successful season ended in victory. The team had a record of four victories and one defeat. The latter was lost through the breaks of the game, and under different conditions might have ended more favorably. The following men received letters: Captain Underwood, Haines, Crews, Chiverton, Hey, Burnett, Barthelmes, Campbell, Cortwright, Trombold, Lebre, Buchanan, Vorhis, and the manager, Detweiler. Pagz' 79 DIXONIAN 1929 HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL SEASON I THESEASON The first game was scheduled with Mendota, but because there was no school the week preceding the date the game was to be played the game was cancelled. The first game was against Rock Falls on January 14, at Rock Falls. The loss of Captain Blackburn was felt by the team and they went down to defeat by a score of I7-IO. The team played as well as was possible, but were unable to overcome the Rock Falls team who had played four games already. On the next night came the game with Sterling. The team went out to win, to avenge their defeat by Rock Falls. It was a hard fought game through all the playing time, but Dixon could not connect with the basket during the last quarter, and lost by a score of 21-ZO. The next game was with Mount Morris. The team fought to win but were unable to do so, and were defeated by a score of 20-IO. The next game was with Amboy. The bus was delayed and it was late when the game started. The team took out their spite on Amboy to the tune of 33-15 with Dixon having the most points. The next night the team journeyed to Rochelle and entered a track meet with the fast Rochelle team. Dixon was unable to stop them, and they went down to the worst defeat they have ever had by a score of 54-13. The next week end Amboy came to Dixon to gain revenge for the defeat they had had the week before. They were sadly mistaken about what they intended to do, and went back to the tune of defeat. Score 26-17. The next week was the return game with Rock Falls at Dixon. They came to Dixon with the intention of having a practice game at Dixonls expense, but re- turned home very much wiser and on the wrong end of a score of 21-zo. After defeating Rock Falls the team was ready to take on Rochelle and get revenge for their defeat at Rochelle. The Rochelle team came expecting another victory, but found that the Dixon team had changed into a righting aggregation. It was the hardest fought game of the season and although Dixon lost by the score of Rochelle I5 and Dixon 14, it was counted as victory for Dixon by the team. The next game was with Mount Morris and they went there but were unable to get going and lost to the Mount Morris team by a score of 27-16. The team was not as strong appearing as when they played Rochelle. The next game was with Nlendota and the team went out to win and did by a score of 17-12. They were nowready to take on Sterling. The next week the team went to Sterling to win and although they had been losing on large floors they came on top of the close score of II-Q. It was a hard fought game and both teams missed a great many baskets but Dixon sank more and thus won. The last game of the season was with Mendota which they had already de- feated once. They went down to Mendota to make it twice but failed to come up to what they intended. The final score was 34-18. This defeat left Dixon in fifth place in the conference standing. Drsriucr TOURNAMENT , The District Tournament was held at Sterling, the Sth, 9th, and Ioth of March. Dixon drew Amboy for the first game, and went into the game to win and go on further into the tournament. They won by a score of 23-I2 with the second team in for the first part of the game while the regular players rested for the game to be played with Sterling. Since Sterling had had no game they were fresh and ready to go. Each team had one of the two games that the teams had played together this year and both were fighting for the supremacy by winning a second. The game was close al Page 50 DIXONIAN 1929 the Way but Dixon finally Won by two points by a score of I4-12. They were now ready to enter the semi-finals. The third Dixon game was played against Tampico. The team was defeated by Tampico and although defeated, they still had to play for third or fourth place. Score 26-Io. Dixon played Prophetstown and Won by a score of 26-16. This gave Dixon third place and it is the first time they have gone that far in the tournament for a long time.

Center Charles Place was out for his first year of basketball and he won his letter by his consistent fight. Although he was short he jumped center most of the time and succeeded in giving the opponents all the trouble they did not want. He is a senior and center will be left vacant by his graduation. HENRY REMMERS .,,, Forward Henry Remmers was a forward. Unfort- tunately he will be lost by graduation. This leaves another place to fill. REUBEN SCHAFER . . . Forward Reuben Schafer was one of the last year light- weights and he won a place at forward by his consistent fighting. He was always in the place that he was to Fill, and his place will be hard to fill next year because he graduates. VVILBUR STITZEL . . . Guard Wilbur Stitzel was Captain most of the time because of the fact that Blackburn could not play. Stitzel proved to the people that he knew how to play and the opponents found it hard to get by him. This is his last year and his place will be hard to fill next year. ARTHUR TEETER .,.. Guard Teeter played a steady, reliable game at guard. As he is only a junior, we can expect much from him next year. Page 82 Vorhis is the captain-elect. He was a con- sistent player and had the ability to sink the ball through the basket very frequently. He has one more year to play and should prove to be very valuable next year. GLENN COURTRIGHT . . . Guard ' Courtright was out for the first time and he won his letter. He has one more year to play and should prove to be very valuable. His ability to make a basket when it was needed was of great assistance. EUGENE LEBRE .... Forward Eugene Lebre was a forward of marked ability and hit the hoop consistently for his share of the points and proved that he should be con- sidered as a player for the next two years for he is only a sophomore. JOHN PADGETT . , . Forward John Padgett was another forward who won his letter because of his fight that showed up in the games and he contributed his share of points when they were needed. His position will have to be filled next year because he is a senior and will graduate. DIXONIAN 1929 THE TRACK SEASGN Although minus several veterans Coach Bowers faced the season with high hopes. The boys that came out did their best to fulfill these hopes. The first meet was with Polo which resulted in an easy victory. Victory was again with us in the next meet, with Oregon. How- ever, this was not such an easy matter, and in several events there was interesting competition. The third meet was with Amboy. They had had little practice before, and were easy victims to our tracksters. Instead of the annual road relay between Sterling and Dixon, a cross-country race was held. Fifteen men were entered from each school. All had to run over the course, a mile and a half in length. In spite of the fact that a Dixon man crossed the finish line first, Sterling won on points. Then came the Rock River Conference meet at Sterling. Dixon took third, trailing Sterling and Rock Falls which were first and second respectively. Captain O'Malley broke the Conference records for the fifty yard dash in this meet. The following week came the sectional meet at Freeport. O'lVIal- ley took first in the fifty yard dash while our half mile relay team composed of Blackburn, Reagan, G. Lebre, and Captain O'Malley took second place. These four went to Champaign, but failed to place. The season was a success as a whole not only from the meets won standard, but from the number out. All who came out prac- ticed hard and faithfully in all sorts of weather.

'No matter what event he entered, he seemed able to score. His loss Will be keenly felt. GEORGE BRUNETTE Pole Vault George won his letter by his good work in the pole vault. He was a faithful, hard Working trackrnan, and in the next two years will mean much to Dixon. 84 DIXONIAN 1 9 2 9 EDWARD HILLIKER Polf Vault Eddie also leaves us. He was a hard worker, and will be greatly missed. GEORGE LEBRE High jump and Relay George was a member of the relay team sent to Champaign and gave his all for victory. HAROLD MARKS Difcuf and Shot Fat was a good man with the weights and threw the uplattern for point-winning distances. JOHN PADGETT Four-forty John won his letter this year by his fighting spirit. He never quit as several others can tell. Next year he should be of great value to the team. CARL PLOWMAN Hurdle? Carl came out this year to win his letter and did it. He proved to be a fine hurdler, and will surely improve with age. RONALD REAGAN Four-forty l'Dutch'7 was a 'real threat in the quarter mile and won many points. He will be lost to the team by graduation. ELwooD SCHULTZ Shox Par Elwood came out this year to show how far the shot can be thrown. He did it nicely. Next year he should be much better. FELCHNER SPOTTS Mile and Eight-eighty Felchner won his letter by his unwillingness to quit. He was a good distance runner. lfVith one more year to run, he should easily better his record.

We see again, as in a dream, Our Freshman year appear, And as we watch it slip away, Without a laugh or tear. Another year comes rolling lround, A year full of events, We help to run our dear old school, With very good intents. Our Junior year-we pause awhile, For it is now by chance, We have the big time of the year, The much looked for-Junior dance. We laugh, we dance-our Junior year Slips quickly away, And then before we are aware, We're Seniors-one brief day. Our Senior year has wings, it seems To spirit it away, T And somehow-months just fly along, And pretty soon its May. May, June-it's graduation tirne, The final rites are done And as we watch we sadly see The final curtain rung. Welre through-we leave our old high-school Where we spent carefree days, But in our hearts shelll always live And happy memories raise. R. A. C., ,ZQ DIXONIAN 1929 REACTION I have often heard people discussing whether a subject is practical or not. NIany people do not believe that foreign languages, physics or even English liter- ature are practical subjects. I think this depends wholly upon your own definition of practical. If you put this label upon studies that lead directly to aiding the income, speaking from a materialistic standpoint, then the subjects mentioned are impractical. On the other hand, however, what could you or I contribute to a group, if they were trained only to make money? What would they get from other people? Nothing. Their's would be an existence which one could not call living. The percentage of people, that is, successful people, who are interested in the finer arts, is greater than that of those who are interested in only the practical one's. I think that such subjects are practical and that they save our nation from being wholly one which is interested in subjects concerning money. R.

W., 729 Page 89 DIXONIAN 1929 THAT YGUNGER GENERATIGN Aunt Abigail, I shall not be home for supper tonight, said Anne. Four of our set are going out for supper and a dance. 'WVho is going to chaperone you? demanded her aunt suspiciously. Chaperon us! exclaimed Anne, VVe are eighteen years old and perfectly able to look after ourselves. Why child, donit you know that is very improper to go out unchaperoned? Now, in my day we would have asked our parents to go along, or at least our mother? 4'But this isn't your day,,' said Anne impatiently. I am going to dress nowf' A few minutes later the splashing of running water was heard as she turned on her bath. The bureau drawers were banged and closet doors were slammed in Anne's mad rush to find additions to her costume which she had remembered just at the last minute. Soon the sound of French heels, tapping on the bare stairs, was heard as Anne gaily tripped down to the staircase, a silk evening cloak thrown lightly over her arm. Land sakes, said her aunt critically, Uthat goods is almost too good for a petticoat. H This isn't a petticoat, Anne corrected her, This is a coat. 'LDO you mean to say that you are going out of the house with nothing more than that on you? demanded her aunt, Why I can see your knees. VVhat have you smeared all over your mouth? Up to this time Anne had been tapping the toe of her too-short slipper im- patiently on the floor, wondering why George didn't come for her. But at her aunt's last question she jumped up. Oh dear, I did hope that I had it on straight. Now Iill have to hurry or I'll be late. She hurried away, intent only on getting her lip rouge on to better advantage. 'CWhere is your coat child? asked her aunt as she reentered the sitting room. HYour rubbers are on the back stairway. Good gracious,'7 she exclaimed, having for the first time glanced at Anne's silken clad legs, You must wear your wool stockingsf, I-Iere is my cloak,', said Anne irrately, throwing the silken folds over her bare shoulders. I'm tired of hearing you preach about the clothes I wear. I'm not going to wear rubbers, and as for changing stockings, I wouldn't if I had the time, which I don't. Then you shall not go, I'll not have people saying that a niece of mine is going about half clothed, her aunt declared. What is that silver case hanging from your pocket? Cigarettesli' she exclaimed, horrified. Sit down. You are not going to leave the house tonight. XVhen that young man comes, I shall tell him myself that you are not going. Anne raged, she stormed, she wept, and she pled, but all was of no avail. Her aunt was firm on the point that her decision, once made, must stand. While she was rebelliously thinking what might have been if she hadn't said goodbye to her aunt, a knock was heard at the door. Her aunt rose and soon Anne heard her ilustered accents welcoming a visitor. She ushered a gentlemen, whom Anne judged to be about her aunt's own age, into the sitting room, while he was atfably explaining that being in town he had decided to call on his iirst girl. Hearing this, Anne sat up and began to listen. There might be some interesting reminiscences for her to hear. Her aunt introduced the visitor as Judge Mason. Rather dry, Anne thought. She closed her eyes. Suddenly she sat up with a start. Remember the time of the sleighing party? the Judge was saying. c'Four Page Q0 DIXONIAN 1929 of us ran off Without a chaperon. You had just had your first pair of French- heeled shoes, and so you didn't wear rubbers. You ruined the shoes, I remember. The judge laughed heartily. Aunt Abigail glanced over at Anne whose eyes were deceivingly closed. Had she heard, she wondered. Why it would undo all the trouble she had had in making Anne act and dress as a respectable girl ought. 'fSurely you must remember the time you tried to smoke. Have you ever tried it since? That one experience cured me, laughed the judge. Robert, you oughtn't to talk of such things before children, said Aunt Abigail. It puts bad notions into their headsf, Anne smothered a laugh at this. L'Remember the time you had your first evening gown and silk stockings to match, but no one gave a party. You wore it to an afternoon tea and ruined it. Oh, would these remembers never stop? Aunt Abigail was afraid not. Anne could sit still no longer. Is that the way you took your father and mother with you? she asked. I only said- began her aunt. 'WVell, it amounted to the same thing, Anne interrupted. 'cYou can7t deny that you said you wore longsleeved, highnecked things instead of dresses like mine, and seventeen petticoatsf' 'LNever more than two,', she murmured feebly, and then gaining force, '41-ligh heels make thick anklesf, Anne was half-way to the door however. Come in George, I'll be ready as soon as I get my hat and coat. W'hat de- layed you so? 'CFU be home early, she said as she stooped over her Aunt. She dropped a kiss on the judge's shiny pate. 'cGeorge is grateful to you. You,ve saved him a dull evening at home. A moment later, the door slammed behind the two. E.

B., 729 Pagf 03 DIXONIAN 1929 PURPOSE GIVES LIFE MEANING At this time in our lives, Fellow Students, we are confronted with this fact more directly than ever before. It may have glided near us so that we caught a glimpse of it at an early time but we have met it vis-a-vis, as at present. The bulletins sent out from the various colleges-business, technical, or liberal-all emphasize that Purpose is what makes life worth while. I think we all have a purpose in life, whether we succeed in it, time alone will tell, and meanwhile it keeps us constantly striving. Joy in any thing comes from this factor. Am I saying too much when I make the statement that all training is to get ourselves into a condition to enjoy what is about us? Of course we do not want to do only those things that give us immediate pleasure for this is neither real nor lasting, but all our actions are messengers, which if sent out in the right spirit, eventually bring back our just reward. If you bestow a kindness you buy the friendship of the receiver, if the source of it is not known you still have the reward stored in your soul-it aHfects your personality. Without purpose you are a slave, whether you work at home, in a field, in an office, or in a factory. Recreation can only be such as to take you from this world for a time and no more. What joy can you find in reading? To find satisfaction in it there must be a purpose-social prestige among associates, an opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired, or pleasant associations. For the latter, one must have a hopeful future or the associations are those of the pessimist whose life is spent in bewailing the past. Consider the life of pioneers-our early American pioneers who toiled from early morning until late at night and lived in fear of starvation, savage beasts, and hostile Indians. You may wonder how they could desire to lead such a life. Think of the pioneers in science who worked throughout ridicule, persecution, and failure. Why didn't they acquiesce in popular opinion and just work to make a living? But think of the heritage they have left us because they had a purpose. R. O., 729 A REAOTION ON REAOTIONS VVhy do our spirits fall with the withered leaves of autumn? Why does dark- ness creep over us when black clouds hover over the earth?

So beautiful are its numerous formations that one of the greatest of America's scholars, standing awe-struck at the threshold of the caves, was inspired into repeating the first telegraphic message, VVhat hath God wroughtln Wfithin this place is the sublime spectacle of the Diamond Cascadef' the sparkling iridescence of which might well have been the impelling force behind the words, Like giant wraiths Rushed down impetuously, were seized at once By sudden frost, and with all their hoary locks Stood still! . Yet this calciferous fall is only one of many spots of beauty, and even now the cavern,s end has not been reached. It was into this magnificent region that, in the summer of 1890, Hunter lVlanor led his bride. Equipped with half a dozen candles and a small box of matches, the couple descended the precipitous passage opening into the Grotto, aided by a strong rope placed at its mouth for the purpose of lending such help as was required. Thinking to be gone but an hour, they left no word with their friends above, preferring to make the journey alone in their new-found happiness. Gazing in turn upon the various wonders of the caves, they paused often to express the sentiments brought forth by their surroundings and association. A candle burned, Hickered out. A second followed, and yet a third. Nianor remarked that they had best go back. They turned, retraced their steps a short distance, and paused before a passage leading to unexplored regions on the right. ' Actuated by a single impulse, they spoke together, Shall we? Frances Nlanor answered the question. I see no reason why we shouldn't. There are still almost three candles left,', and they turned aside. They had progressed but a few yards-it seemed to them-when the uncertain light of the fourth candle revealed the subterranean body of water known today as Rainbow Lake. Minutes passed, while they stood in silent wonder looking over its shimmering expanse. The candle went out. Nianor reached into a pocket, withdrew the matches, and turned to strike one on the wall. Stubbing his toe, he fell sprawling. A slight splash testified as to where the lucifers,' had found their resting place. Scrambling to his feet, the man searched hurriedly through his pockets. He found one match which had somehow slipped from the box. Gnce more secure in the feeble illumination of a candle, their momentary horror left, and they began the return to the entrance. They had advanced for some distance when hffanor suddenly demanded, 'WVe didn't come this way, did we?,' A rapid survey of the walls convinced them they had not, nor could they any- where find trace of their footsteps. The unyielding granite and softer stalagmites showed no indications of ever having been traversed. hlanorfs wife came to a swift conclusion. Page 96 DIXONIAN 1929 VVe are lost! she pronounced quietly. Lost! The word rang in their ears like a death-knellg yet they went on, hope battling for supremacy over reason. Then, as the light of their last candle rose in the lengthening flame that signifies coming extinction, they saw above them the white-robed form of a benign priest, created by Nature from carboniferous waters, gazing down over a speechless figure standing in an endless attitude of prayer. A warning tremor, and the unsteady light was extinguished, leaving them in a darkness so intense as to be almost unbearable. f'Let us pray, said one, and so, adopting the manner of the stone beings which had seen countless ages come and go, they prayed. For 'hours thereafter they searched, seeking in vain to pierce the impenetrable blackness. Shins were barked, and falls were frequent, but with the skeleton form of Demon Death preceding them, what cared they for pain? Nioving cau- tiously forward, missing death at some apparently bottomless pit by inches, they crept on, resting at short intervals. The very walls, the roof, the floor seemed to echo Jesus' assertion to unbelievers, There is no hope, except in death! Giving way at last to unendurable fatigue, they slept. VVhen they awoke, they continued the hopeless search. Now and again they paused to drink the few drops of water oozing here and there from the constantly changing rock. Drearily they pressed on. Suddenly the girl gave a cry of unbelieving joy. Forgetful of the impervious- ness of the blackness to sight, she pointed. What is it? exclaimed her husband. Look ahead! Isn't that a light? He looked, and far ahead there appeared the many-colored rehection cast by the glow of a lantern on the great Cascade. He shouted, shouted again and yet again, and was rewarded by the sight of a stronger glimmer and by the sound of approaching footsteps. By the side of his wife, who had fainted from the effect of the reaction, he stood, patiently waiting for the rescuers. Spectral Death had once more been cheated of its prey by Inspiring Hope. They were saved! AUTHOR,S NOTE-This tale, taken from a similar incident befalling James Silvious and his bride in the late nineteenth century, is true in every point save detailed narration. No formations not known to be in the Grotto of the Gods have been used, and the description is as accurate as the author Cwho was a visitant of the caverns in IQ24D can make it. A. M.

A nameless fear Creeps o'er my soul and to my straining ear The ghostly whispers of vague forms find way And take the feeble courage of the day. A thousand phantoms through the darkness peer, Till creeping closer, seem at last so near I rush in terror, seeking that pale ray Of light that just begins to grey the sky.

We trim Gur years, that we must live, in darkness grim, W'e fear old age and all our earthly foesg We long for happiness that round us Hows In youth and childhood days. We dread the rim Of death on which we stand. But who would care To live forever on with life all done? Qld age the autumn of our life is rare In beauty of past deeds approved. The fun Received from life is not as great as yore, And death then seems to us a welcome change. M. S. 329 DIXONIAN 1929 REACTION ON WAR A war picture reveals itself before our eyes.

And to think we take great pride in calling ourselves 'ladvanced in civilizationf, If war is a part of civilization then I prefer the Early Stone Ages. But I remind myself that these men are not fighting for personal reasons concerned with patriotism and a sense of duty to their countryg it's dollars and cents again together with personal and national loss rather than gain. I begin to reflect and realize what our world might be today if war were un- knowng many a genius taken before he had an opportunity to contribute anything to progress and his fellow-men. As I leave the theater I am convinced that war is the most prominent, the most dreaded and the most effective obstacle in the path of civilization's progress. F.

Dirk Delancey's Aunt lvleredith was stopping over on her way to California the very day of the I-Iomecomingn football game. 'fWell, said Dirk, I guess that settles my going, because Aunt NIeredith wouldn't like it if I didn't come to meet her. Take her alongf' said Reddy , the comical red haired Irishman. '6Yes, take her along, I'd like to know how I can take her in my old Ford with the rest of you fellows. Use your head once in a while. 'Imaging Aunt Me1'fdith in thai old Ford. Say, fellows, I've got a swell idea. How about taking my 'pater's' new Buick and taking the old dame alongiv This happy idea from Starchy IVIullins. Fine, 'Starchy,' that7s the best idea that ever matured in your fbean'. But say, do you suppose you can get the Buick?', Sure, I'll tell the fmater7 I'm taking cSusie' and she'll get it for me. She thinks 'Susie' is just about IT.'7 I c'All right, weill count on you. The next thing is to make a plan to entertain her until she leaves. She comes on the early morning train and is planning to leave on the midnight flier. Well, from Reddy'7, 'fLet7s take her to see the newest 'follies7 and then to the 'Hot Time' cabaret. She will think she is being entertained royally if she is anything like my aunt. just tell her we had it put on especially for her and she'll think you love her.', All right, but remember don't any of you 'guys' desert me or Iill just 'cash- in' with her on my hands. 'cSay, Dirk, who is 'Shel anyway? I've never heard you speak of her before, asked Reddy. Well, she is my mother's sister and because mother married the man she loved and not the one Aunt NIeredith had picked out for her she would never come to see mother. As you know, mother died when I was two years old and father six months later. Aunt Meredith decided she would have to take care of me. I was always sent away to school so I didn't see much of her. She always told me 4'Dirk, you look so much like your good-for-nothing father that I can't stand to see you very much. There are too many unpleasant memories connected with his face. I have not seen her for two years and then that was just a few minutes so I hardly know how she will look. As I remember her she was a small woman with iron gray hair and a stern mouth. She always wore a little black shawl over her gray coat and a gray poke-bonnet with a red rose at one side of the brim. Well, said Starchy, she sounds like a gay little dame. Guess we'll have some time with her. VVell, I'll leave. Do you want 'us guys' to meet her with you?'7 Yes, be on hand at eight-thirty tomorrow morning. Kayof' The next morning with the best of intentions Starchy arrived promptly at eight o'clock with his father's car. After hurried last rninute arrangements they started for f'Starchy,s borrowed car. It had a flat tire! What was to be done? In less time that it takes to tell the Mold Fordw was brought out and started out to meet Aunt Mereditli. Sure enough, Aunt Mereditli was here and looking like some old quaint lady just stepped out of an old portrait. Dirk advanced to meet her. Aunt lVIeredith?'7 Are you Dirk? lXfIy but you've grown. Seems as though you look more Page 100 DIXONIAN 1929 like your 'dad' every day. By this time Dirk had gathered up her valises and was piloting her toward the old Ford. f'IVho are those young fellows there? The one to the right has horrible red hair hasnft he? Do you know them? Yes, they are my fFrat' brothers. Aunt Meredith, this is 'Reddy,' 'Spike,' 'Starchy,' 'Sweetnessf and 'NIoon,' Fellows, this is 'Aunt Meredith7!', The introductions were acknowledge and all were started gaily homeward in the old rattletrap Ford. At two oiclock the gang assembled at the 'flfratl' house. Aunt Meredith was placed in state by Starchy lXfIullins, who was driving Dirk's collegiate ford. VVith pennants and flags waving the car started off for the Homecoming game. The experience of riding in a collegiate ford at sixty miles per hour was almost too much for her. By the time they had reached the Athletic field she was com- pletely unnerved. In due time they were all seated in the bleachers with Aunt Meredith between Dirk and Starchy. The game progressed. It seemed that their college was winning. Aunt Meredith wasn't quite certain,but she thought from all the cheer- ing somebody surely ought to win. It was over! Vlfith a sigh of relief Aunt Meredith slipped into her seat too tired and happy to speak. She was so tiredf' She laid back and relaxed for rather tried to in that old Fordj Instead of the plans being completely carried out the boys let Aunt NIeredith take a much needed sleep. At eleven o'clock the boys awakened her and took her down to the train. She was so tired that she forgot to thank them for her good time. After Dirk had her comfortably settled in the train she said, HI-Iere, Dirk, give this to those boys so they can buy a new car so the next time I come I won't be shook to pieces. When Dirk arrived home he found that Aunt Meredith had given him a check for five hundred dollars. Oh well, mused Drik, 'fShe can afford it. When she gets home again she will have something to tell her friends, I guessf, I. W., 'go A REACTION ON INVENTION I overheard the following remark concerning the inventor of the helicopter, an airplaine capable of rising straight up from the ground: that 'fhe was a fool and bound to break his neck sooner or laterf' I came to the conclusion that the latter part of that statement might become true but that the first part was far from the truth. And I believe that it is due to men, such as this foreigner, that we have the means of transportation, comforts, etc., that we enjoy today. If our ancestors had not had the courage to come over to America and risk losing their scalps, we would probably be living in Europe instead of in America. Again if Samuel Nforse had been beaten by public opinion we would not have had the telegraph. The sarne spirit influences inventive genius today and shall influence it eternally. I am convinced that any one who would make the above statement is unappre- ciative to a high degree, narrow-minded, and unaware of the fact that the impos- sible has not yet been reachedf, F. G.
