W. A. McMahon Here is the most serious man of them all, hut no progress is made in the world without men who arc serious thinkers. A man of his type is always in demand. Albert Humrichouse Although some of the students arc not familiar with this man, they recognize him in their minds as one of those who helps to make our school a success. J. K. Galbreath Mr. Galhrcath is a man to he admired for having acquired both success and friends in Georgetown although he has heen here only a short time. James L. White, Pres. Since he is the oldest man on the hoard, he must he the wisest, for hasn’t it heen said, “Age is the soul of wisdom ? J. II. Myers Misquoting the proverb, Variety is the spice of the board,” and Dr. Myers furnishes the good disposition along with other admirable qualities. R. Allen Thornton There is no doubt about who the best looking man on the board is. Mr. Thornton is proof enough that there is such a combination as good looks and a genial disposition. C. H. Henry Mr. Henry has two reasons for being interested in the high school, his two sons, but we think he is the kind of man that would naturally be interested.

Ray Davenport was elected president for the first semester and a staff was selected to work on our year book, The Swastika. In football the senior boys went big. Paul Galyen captained the team and ten men earned “G’s”. Joe Yelikis won the trophy for good sportsmanship. A collegiate carnival was staged to make money for the Swastika. Everyone had a good time and it proved a financial success as well. Bernard Morgan was elected president for the second semester, the most eventful term for all seniors. We are looking forward to the play, the junior-senior banquet and the graduating exercises. BERNARD MORGAN President, Second Semester Buell C. Reid “For every why he had a u-herefore.” Ak.

((otie (juniors' jolden cBook (9xij summer’s afternoon as I lay dreamily in my hammock, I beheld a speck of gold in the sky. Soon the dot became larger and gradually took the shape of a golden airplane, shining gloriously in the bright sunlight. It dazzled me as it swooped lower and lower and 1 was forced to close my eyes. I opened my eyes, discovered a golden book, left, apparently, by the mysterious airplane. Idly I turned the first few pages until 1 came to the picture of a football with photographs of boys’ faces grouped around it. Surely 1 ought to know them. Why, yes! there was Sawicki, captain-elect; Morris, Chantos, Elliot, Grubb, Warren, Williams and Chapman. All the junior letter men! Eagerly I turned the next page to meet more familiar faces, those of Homer Morris and Halary Sawicki, class presidents, and Ruby Ramsey, editor of the largest Purple and White that Georgetown High School has ever published. There was William Moore, who always makes the highest grades among the boys. In great excitement I turned another leaf and read the program of “Adam and Eva” directed by Miss Mack with Howard Emory, Wayne Henry, and Bernice Houghton as leading characters. With a feeling of regret 1 found that there were only a few more pages in that wonderful golden book. They were devoted to the F.L.H. Club, the Athenian Literary society. and the Science club in all of which the class of 1930 had played an active part. HOMER MORRIS BERNICE HOUGHTON, ’30.

Being a very lovable kitten everyone took to her, telling her all she wished to know about the various classes in school. One of the first persons she encountered was Kenneth Crum. Walking up to him, she said, “Who are you? What is your business here?” “Oh! I'm president of the sophomore class.” “Then, pray tell me something of your class.” Kenneth being very proud of his class began to rave. The history went something like this: “One fine morning the present sophomore class entered high school. Everything was new to them, but finally they became accustomed to the situation. The class in the freshman year was represented in football, won the inter-class basketball tourney, and received honorable mention in the track meet. There were several participants in the declamation contest and in semi-chorus. “This year we have several “G” men in football, as well as in basketball and track. We are also to be represented in the reading contests. “Both years have been a success and we are looking forward to the time when we shall be upperclassmen.” “Thank you very much,” said the kitten, “I think you must have a wonderful class.” KENNETH CRUM President, F.rst Semester WlXXIFRED BI RD, ’31.

People looked from their windows to see a large number of children walking hurriedly down the street. They looked neither to the right nor left, but kept on following the sound of the bells. Finally they reached a large building, a door opened, and the children trooped in. The door then closed behind them. The children were awed by some people in this building who called themselves “seniors” and gave them the name of “freshman.” Why had they been enticed into this terrible place? Were they there only to make the rest of the people laugh and make themselves feel foolish? Surely these creatures were inhuman. “But, no,” they thought, “We are only afraid and we will conquer this peculiar race of egotists.” To carry out their plan they chose Elmo Snook as their leader. William Parke, his assistant, and Hoyt Paxton to watch the booty. Although they did not meet with success, the determination of this younger set so won the admiration of that branch of society called “sophs” that they took them to the forest and they all indulged in a weiner roast, and no harm came to any of them. “There is no feeling of uncertainty now.” the children said, “and after all. this is a nice place in which to stay, isn’t it?” Elizabeth Stedman, '32 President, First Semester CLASS OF 1932 First Rote—Joseph Henry, John Testa, John Stimac, Ernest Hall, Francis Bowen, George Sanders.

There are no exceptions in this case, as every boy on the squad played with every ounce of energy and spirit he possessed. There was plenty of weight and speed in the line this year and the successful season enjoyed was due largely to the offensive and defensive work of the line. The backfield was a combination of parts having speed, weight, and plenty of brainwork. The number of men receiving letters speaks for the amount of substitute material which is one of the essential properties of a good football team. The team played up to expectations in every game, with the possible exception of the one with Clinton in which Georgetown, somewhat handicapped by injuries, received a sound beating. The L rbana game resulted in a scoreless tie and the team came out of this scrap in a crippled condition, Theodore, “Tiny” Elliott receiving a broken collar bone, and Ray Davenport, a twisted arm. Ray got back into the game a few weeks later but Elliott did not get back into shape until the last two games of the season, the first of which was with Hoopeston. Georgetown gave Hoopeston the first beating they have been able to administer to them in five years. The last game of the season was with Westville on Thanksgiving and the official score of that game was 13-8 in favor of Westville. h. nox SWKKI.KY Coach THE SECOND TEAM First Row—Joe Andruski, Willard Schaefer, Robert Chaiiman, John Cebulskcy, Howard Knox, Jake Can-treli, Lyle hnckson.

Five of them are upper classmen, but the rest are freshmen and sophomores with two or three years of football ahead of them. There was a regular schedule this year and the team played seven games, winning three, losing three, and tying one. On reviewing the box score it is possible to rest in peace as to our future football teams. The work of Ivan Burch in developing a team of this calibre is appreciated by the whole community. He has spent many a wet and chilly night drilling these boys and it is just such work as this that enables G.H.S. to have a first-class football team always. IVAN C.

Harmon Stark, End—Made his letter in his fourth year after sticking at it for three years. A hard tackier and consistent performer at all times. Donald Grubb, End—One of the boys who didn't miss a night of practice. A good receiver of passes and a good defensive end. We hate to lose him. Kenneth Crum, Lineman—Here is a big fast lineman whose experience on this year’s team should make him an outstanding lineman next year. Paul Galyen, Captain, Guard—He understood the duties of a captain and worked to meet the requirements. He set a fine example for his teammates. Beside his duties as the leader of the team, he played a fine game at tackle and guard throughout the season. PAUL GALYEN 1928 Captain T. ELLIOTT R. DAVENPORT S. CHANTOS J. MORGAN I). HANKY H. THOMAS “§” Men I heodore Elliott, 7acklc—Had hard luck in the first game, having his collar bone broken. He recovered to help beat Hoopeston. and play in the West-yille game. Showed marked improvement over the year before. Developed into a kicker of ability. Steve Chantos, I ackle-—A tough job to hold down, but Steve did it in fine shape. Donald Haney, Center—Long, lean, lengthy, and hungry. An accurate passer on offense, and learning the hard job of a roving defense. He ought to eat ’em up next year. Ray Davenport, hud—Very few boys can boast of having made anv ground around this boy’s end. A good receiver of passes. John Morgan, Center—Played good brand of football throughout the season. Was understudy for Haney but only because he was a senior. Explanation— It is the policy of the coach that when boys are about equal in ability to hold down a job, the position goes to the under classman. The reason for this policy is self-evident. Howard Thomas, End-—P etter known as Herniv. His chief asset, was his ability to tackle. When he hit ’em you could not only see it, you could hear it. Halary Sawicki, hack field—Next year's captain. Played his first year in the backfield, and was one of the outstanding offensive and defensive players of the season. We hope his last year will prove his best. HALARY SAWICKI 1929 Captain B. MORGAN R. WARREN E. SNOOK H. MORRIS S. PARADISO I. WILLIAMS «§” yy[en Bernard Morgan, Back—Developed into a hard hitting back, who always went forward instead of backward when tackled. That ought to be an axiom with all backs, but watch the next dozen you see. Robert Warren, Back—A hard worker in practice and in games. Although light, has made himself a good tackier and blocker. These are scarce and always welcome. Elmo Snook, Backficld—Another boy who broke the ice in his freshman year. When he gets about another year of experience under his belt, opponents look out. He’s big, tough, and last, and throws a football like nobody's business. Homer Morris, Backficld—A good, consistent football player. If he doesn’t take up acting as a career next fall, you’ll see him in action. Santo Paradiso, Quarterback—An elusive back. He made the tackier believe his feet were where they weren’t. Ivan Williams, Back—A light, fast, hard running back, who has improved steadily since coming out as a freshman. Joe Velikis, Guard—Joe won the sportsmanship trophy. He caught ’em before they got started. Winner of the Sportsmanship T roplty KAY DAVENPORT BLOCKS A PUNT AGAINST URBAN A football, 1928 Captain, Paul Gai.yen Sept EM i! hr 22—Urbana 0, Georgetown 0.

Georgetown showed her football prowess by going up, over, around, through and under Westville on November 29, only to be nosed out in the final few minutes of play when Westville resorted to an aerial attack which netted them a touchdown, giving them the official victory 13-8.

More pep was shown by the student body at the Westville-Georgetown game than at the various other football games. Everyone knew that a big effort would be put forth, so they came to the game with all their enthusiasm and pep saved up from the time Georgetown and YVestville tied their score in 1927. Some people say that football is more exciting than basketball, but the rooters at the Rankin-Georgetown basketball game proved that basketball can be just as exciting as football. The spirit shown at this game would make any team win if cheering helps any. Let’s all yell at the games and be the peppiest bunch of rooters possible.

Luck seemed to be against the team in the tournaments. In the County meet, Catlin defeated Georgetown by two points in an overtime battle and copped the tournament. Catlin again defeated Georgetown in the Sidell invitational meet after Georgetown downed Ridgefarm in the opener. In the district meet it seemed as if Georgetown’s luck had changed but it gave out in the last few minutes of play. Danville sank a couple of lucky shots and Georgetown was defeated 22 to 20 after leading by about six points most of the game. The squad was led by Captain Morgan, Scotch, but he sure wasn’t tight when making baskets was concerned. The other members of the squad were Frazier, Faradiso, Emory, Sawicki, Morris, Grubb, Henry, Snook and Gorman. Although five letter men will graduate, some pretty good material showed up in the inter-class tournament so that next year’s squad should make a fair showing. B. Morgan, Captain, Senior. Handles himself and the ball well. Would be a wizard if he were not bashful.

There are only five of last year’s letter men back and these boys at least are expected to repeat. Harmon Stark, a new candidate, looks good in the mile and Joe Andru-ski is making good progress in the pole vault. With these boys performing up to standard, and new material cropping out in the class meet, we should have a successful season. Donald Grubb is the captain this year and along with Henry, Sawicki and Morgan, will again run the dashes. Morgan and Elliott are the weight pushers, Elliott and Crum are showing improvement in the javelin, and Barney Morgan steps the hurdles alone. DONAI.D GRUBB Captain 1929 Inter-Glass Ghamps !'I' last it happened. The class of ’29 finally won the inter-class basketball championship. Led by the fighting captain, John Morgan, the seniors defeated the under-classmen although two extra games had to be played in determining the championship. The freshman boys were the only team to defeat the seniors this year and when the freshmen were played again in order to break the tie, the seniors got sweet revenge. Some of the reasons for the success of the team this year, were the shooting of Ramon Starr and the defensive work of the other members. This team has a unique record, having placed second in the interclass tournament three years in succession, to finally forge to the front in the fourth year and win the coveted trophy. Two seniors, Paul Galyen and Steve Chantos, made the all-star team, Galyen getting the center position and Chantos, a guard berth. The other members of the all-star team were John Stimac, Perry Baldwin, and Santo Paradiso, freshmen; William Parke, sophomore; and Clarence Stasavich, junior.

Without her the junior team would have been unable to win the girls’ championship. Doris Gannon—Forward Doris’ ability to hit the basket was certainly a help to the sophomores. Virginia Mackey—Center Virginia has been on the all-star team both years she has been in high school. She played well all season and made the sophomores a good captain. Virginia Edmonds—Center Two centers were chosen because they both play about equally well. Virginia is a freshman but she plays like a senior. Mildred Stedman—Guard This year ends Mildred’s high school basketball career. It should be sufficient to say that she has been picked on the all-star team all four years she has been in high school. Helen Girdauskas—Guard Xot only could Helen guard with excellent foresight, but she could also shoot baskets. She is certainly outstanding in basketball, especially since it is only her first year. Miss McCaman—Coach Miss McCaman again proved her ability to conduct a successful basketball tournament. She was always ready to help the teams with coaching and advice.

The many defeats of last year must have made the girls resolve to work harder for this was shown in the large number of players who came out for practice. At every opportunity, under the leadership of Miss McCaman, the girls met after school to practice shooting baskets, dribbling and free throws. The game was a little difficult for the players to get used to as the side center was eliminated this year. A good fighting spirit was shown by all throughout the season beginning with the first game between the juniors and sophomores, a game which ended with a 9-7 victory for the former team. The game with the freshmen struck tear into our hearts as the first half ended in their favor. However we rallied and came out winners 13-6. The seniors were held to a 3-0 score in the third game. The team met its only defeat at the hands of the picked group which consisted of the best players from the other classes. The game ended 2-13. The junior team will be very proud to have its name engraved on the cup as a record of its victory which will go down in the history of the school. 1 2 ... Faye Forty-three spg L ' ..

This festival is given by the high school and grade schools. For the May Fete of 1928 directed by Miss McCaman, girls’ athletic director of high school, and Miss Haber, music teacher of the grade schools, the student body chose Mildred Stedman as May Queen. Mildred Alabaugh, Helen Lewman, Catharine Kendall, Katherine McMahon, Mary Powell and Mary Jo Scott were selected as attendants to march before the queen. Seven dances were given by the high school, the costumes for which were made by the clothing classes. These dancers wore the costumes of Spain. Holland, Colonial America, Norway, and rural England. The winding of the May Pole was the final number. The scene of the fete was laid in the brilliant court of Queen Esperanto. After the grand procession had passed in colorful array, the queen was crowned and dancers came from many lands to give pleasure to her Majesty and played their parts until the hour struck that ended the Queen’s short reign. Aside from this annual fete, little attention is paid to such activities in our schools. Now, however, emphasis is coming to be laid on a graceful body. In time no doubt, more attention will be given to this in the grade as well as high schools of America. A beautiful body is a healthful one and, moreover, lovely-thoughts grow better in lovely surroundings. The grades and high school are co-operating in putting on the May Festival again this year. Plans are being worked out by Miss McCaman and Miss Harris. Activities c(9he Swastika c$ Editor.............................................

The grain team carried off third with Elmer Learnard placing fourth as individual. The fat stock and poultry teams also ranked high. Homer Flora placed fifth in fat stock judging. This was the first champion banner brought home from the district meet. After the district meet the boys were not satisfied with their medals and ribbons, so they copped eleventh place in the state meet in which 180 vocational agriculture schools in the state competed. Here the dairy team consisting of Kenneth Underwood, Raymond Sprouls, and Vernon Richards won third which is the best ever accomplished by the agriculture department here. Vernon also placed second in judging Ayrshires, Kermit Underwood took fifth place in beef cattle, Robert Warren got the honor of tenth all around judge in fat stock. During this school year the agricultural club and department have sponsored a number of interesting events. The annual community fair was greatly enlarged this year by the addition of a number of educational exhibits. More interest was shown in it by the community in general than in former years. The Calf Club has been particularly active this year due to the county organization which has been pushing this work. During February and March a series of meetings were held for the farmers of the community which were well attended. The interest in the agricultural work has been good throughout the year.

This club was given the name. “Athenian Literary Society.” Officers were then elected, committees for the year appointed, and a charter drawn up. After a heated discussion, it was decided that juniors and seniors, only, were eligible to come into the society. Then came the call for new members. This call seemed to be aided by some supernatural power, because the number of members was immediately increased to a total of forty-five. The purpose of this society, as it was definitely pointed out at the first meeting, was to create better knowledge of English throughout the school. Very fortunately the society did more than this for its own members. It helped them to become acquainted with some of the great writers and also with great men whose fame was not based on a literary career. A song and yell contest was sponsored by the society. The material handed in was very good, and the two contestants who were admitted to the club as honorary members were Carl Maffet who wrote the prize pep song, and Winnifred Rurd who wrote the prize winning yell. An Alma Mater song was handed in by Miss Mack. The club has achieved some very good things during the past year and has attained a high place among the activities of the school.

Club reorganized at the beginning of the basketball season for the purpose of boosting the basketball team and arousing interest in the games in the school and town. Officers were elected and Mr. Burch was unanimously accepted again as sponsor. The membership was increased to forty members, twenty girls and twenty boys. A uniform dress was adopted with the letters F.L.H. in purple on the front. The club reserved a section for themselves on the bleechers at the games and the effect proved pleasing to the eye and disastrous to the ear. Members of the club were appointed to make write-ups for the Georgetown and Danville papers before each game. Posters were made for advertising and the sale of tickets was sponsored by the club. The result of the club’s work was apparent and it was, at least partly, due to their efforts that the games were all so well attended by students and town fans. At the last basketball game complimentary tickets were sent to all former members of the club with an invitation to come back and help cheer for Georgetown once more. Several members accepted the invitation. The spring party given by the losers in the ticket sale contest was one of the most interesting social events of the year. OFFICERS President......

Our program for this afternoon consists of a discussion of ideal clubs. Messages have been received from every part of the earth but the one we consider best is the one sent in by Miss Helen McCaman, adviser of the Girls’ club of Georgetown Township high school, Georgetown, Illinois. Every girl in high school is entitled to belong to this club. The most important duty of the organization is to sponsor high school activities and to promote the welfare of the girls in the student body. Among the various things the club has done this year, the most effort was displayed by the members in holding a successful high school Hallowe’en party. Committees were also appointed during the football season to decorate for the games played here. The money made at a stand at one of the games was used to provide Christmas baskets for some needy families of Georgetown. The booth displayed by the club at the Community fair won fourth place. Early in the second semester of the school year, the girls gave a tea for their mothers. Miss Fisher, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. of Danville talked in a very interesting way about the meaning of education to a modern girl. Various other things were sponsored by the club during the year and its work is appreciated by the entire student body of Georgetown high school. We have completed our discussion on the ideal club and are now signing off at exactly 4 P.M. Good afternoon, everybody.

It is the cup won for two years by young Georgetown orators, and finally placed in our permanent possession by Verlin Stark, who won it the third successive year. In the season of 1928, under the able coaching of Miss Clark. Georgetown was represented in the inter-scholastic contests by two winners. Catharine Kendall won first place in the district with her serious declamation, while Ona Hawkins placed third in the county contest in oratory. Although the Swastika cannot report the outcome of this year’s contests, it is hoped that many new successes will be achieved. The number of contestants is larger than in previous years; this insures keen competition, an outstanding characteristic of a good contest. Another field of public speaking also claimed our attention this year. Four students entered the national oratory contest sponsored by the newspapers. These students must gather material for composing their own orations. Not to everyone is given the ability to excel in athletics, a field of school activity which, up to the present time, has received the greatest recognition of all extra-curricular phases of school life. Neither is the ability to excel in public speaking given to many. In recognition of this fact, and in appreciation of the efforts of students who serve the school in oratory and declamation, it was decided this year that the school letter should be awarded to the winner in each of the four departments of public speaking in the local contests. The promise of such a reward is sure to serve as an added incentive to those who have shown interest in public speaking. S5he girls’ glee J 1 took us a long time to organize—but when we (lid, you bet everyone was informed immediately that there were three separate and distinct clubs in existence, a junior Glee club, the regular club, and the semi-chorus. Due to this new feature more of the girls are being trained, while in the old system there were so many restrictions that it was possible for only a small number to receive benefit. 'This gives our school a brilliant outlook, for won’t that mean a well trained chorus to win honors in the future? The three glee clubs gave a program of semi-classical songs on the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday. The glee clubs were disappointed because they couldn’t give an operetta, but it was decided that their Easter entertainment was a good substitute and presented something different to the public. The most important work of the clubs was that of the semi-chorus. They began work immediately after organization on “The Swing Song” which was the selection chosen for the county contest.

When looking back on days gone by And friends 1 used to know In G.H.S., that school I loved, My heart is all aglow. Days of sorrow and of pain Will linger with regret. But still 1 think of happy days 1 never shall forget. It takes us long to realize What school life really means. But when we do, we live again Some of those happy scenes. For Alma Mater paid me back With friends—and knowledge too. And the hours spent within her walls Were, after all, but few. I cherish every thought of school, And often dream and sigh Of memories; memories Of dear old Georgetown High. Katherine McMahon, ’29 ‘lake $candaIs of 1928-1929 I key Burch was caught dancing in the hall with Mr. Black’s secretary, Wanda, and they were doing no other than the “Black Bottom.” Wild Bill Almy played hookey two days to run in the races at Indianapolis. Georgia Henderson was found late one night swinging under the apple tree. Julia McMillan and Elizabeth Mack have spent their Saturdays during the year, giving street corner performances in Danville. Julia passes the cup while Betty does the “Haybailer’s Hop.” Mr. Black played Santa Claus and gave us a few lectures for our Christmas present. Deacon Sweeley, on the night following the Westville game, awoke from a nightmare, grabbed his football, and was seen dashing swiftly across the South bridge. Helen McCaman showed the Girls' club a few things about governing a club. ‘'Idhe Supernatural Cpower of JlY(usic Remember way back on the fourth of March, 1929, when we listened to the inaugural address of President Hoover over the radio? We could hear nothing but fascinating and enticing jazz music. The curtain on the stage suddenly parted before us and such a scene! “Deacon Sweeley came out doing some kind of a foreign “crawl” and hollering, “Whoopee Grandma!” The curtain parted more, and half the students fainted. Behold! Mr. Black and Miss Rees were sure doing the Charleston, rolling their eyes and snapping their fingers. Whew! Were they “fetching it on” with that music? They never missed the count for forty minutes and Ikev Burch had to throw some water on them to stop them. Of course we laughed, but we never before realized what powers good fast orchestra music really possessed.

By 1 ' SlPArS T£A Firr$T dav � r LILAC Tin I VACATION oration ORaooatiom TIA'i PAY 14 04 Paf c Seventy-Five (y. 7H. q). fairyland 0NCE upon a time a group of beautiful fairies lived in a huge, magnificent castle on a hill. The castle was richly ornamented with jewels. The most conspicuous place was the great Hall. At one end of this hall was a big Ruby and at the other a group of magic Wells. The big Frahm windows reminded one of the castles in King Arthur stories. Now these fairies in their Lacey garments would often trip through their garden which was like a Paradise with its Violets and Olive trees. They could see Campbells in the Burch trees eating the Brown leaves and they exclaimed, “Darwin is right.’’ The Burds would twitter and cheep at them as they passed the bubbling Brooks and they could often see a Holstine grazing lazily in the emerald pastures. May was the favorite month of these fairies in which to Hunt the marvelous flowers of the woods. On one lovely May morning they arose early and prepared for a trip. They took some Grubb along to eat at midday. On their way they met a poor old Miller. They gave him some food and threw Crums to the Burds. These sweet little fairies were making Mary and a Bunch of Savage giants came fiercely upon them and Chuck-eld, “We have found food.” The fairies hid Lowe in the Reids by the Bridgewater until Knight. They were terribly frightened in the dark but a Starr shone brightly and guided them home. When they came to their castle, they lighted their lamps and the window Paynes shone brightly from without. They slept safely on their easy Davenport between Sheets and had many sweet dreams. They had Rice for breakfast. Knighthood is in Flower, or a Trip to the Professor’s Office. As I sat by the window, A vision drifted near Of castles in hazy cloud-hanks. Of knighthood and good cheer. The castles had grown hazy, But the justs had become clear Of knights in shining armour, Belittling human fear. I was growing quite romantic When the knights began to sway— Then in came the professor And blew them all away. John Morgan, ’29. Ted E.—Do you take home economics ? Paul G.—No, I take home girls.

MEN These men, these men, these men, Time in and out again. With never, never an end.

Ordinarily this does not amount to less than $5,000 up to the time you leave high school. The least you can do is to see that this debt is taken care of. It is a Debt of Honor. If you live, your success will assure it. If you die, Life Insurance, and that only, can guarantee it. The Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Co. R. F.
