3 gpg, g THE LANTERN Feb. 28, 1925.-Did recently have a Cracker-Jack sale that our scanty treasury might be replenished, and that also our fondness for this confection might be gratified. March 17, 1925.-St. Patrick's day and the day of our Dancing Lesson Dance, where the too bashful Juniors learned how to trip the light fan- tastic, as the poet, john Milton, did say. This dance was in preparation for gay Senior frolics. March 19, 1925.-The boys of 305 have organized a Parliamentary Law Club. Hope thereby to learn much of the Rules of Order. Mr. Harry John- son, a lawyer, did therein assist them by his address and Miss Fick is ever at hand with her advice. A worthy club. March 29, 1925.-Did sell Spring Flowers of tissue paper, to-day, with the help of the class of '27. A most colorful sight at school. April 14, 1925.-To the junior dance given for the school to-day. Thence home, lest late hours cause tardiness at school next day. Room 305 waging mighty warfare against said evil habit. June 20, 1925.-VVe are now nearly Seniors and our Three VVeeks scholarship campaign is nearly over. By this campaign the Big Brother movement was instituted to help 305 people all to pass into 4B. An excellent semester closing. Therein did the juniors win the upper-class inter-room base- ball championship, and otherwise our interest in school activities has been shown. Sept 30, 1925.-New semester brings new officers: Robert Basche, president, C. O. Wilcox, vice-president, Hannah Werth, secretary, Milton Klein, treasurer. VVe do feel proud of our place as Seniors. Dec. 1, 1925.-The 4A's recently invited the 4B rooms, 310 and 305 Cfor we have been separatedj to a Hard Times party where many strange cos- tumes appeared, and a pleasant time enjoyed. Dec. 20, 1925.-Room 305 has won the five dollar prize for selling the largest number of semi-annual subscriptions. Dec. 11, 1925.-To the 4B Hippity-Hop to-night at the Myrtle Masonic Hall. A delightful evening and a great success. Dec. 18, 1925.-To see Anne-What's-Her-Name P to-night. A most mys- terious play of exceeding great humor, and well acted by the 4B's and 4A's. I did most shiver at the exciting parts and did laugh overlymuch. Dec. 20, 1925.-Again sent a gift of magazine subscriptions to the sol- diers' hospital to brighten their lives not only for the year following this Christ- mas, but for some time to come in future years that will follow. Feb. 1, 1926.-Recently we 4B's entertained the 4A's at a small dance, where indeed whistles, crickets, and snowballs did create a lively scene, with much enjoyment for all. March 20, 1926.-Much business in this last semester. Robert Basche, re- elected president, jules Dashow, vice-president, Florence Frey, secretary, and Lillian Johnson, treasurer. I have heard that a grade of 70 per cent in pen- manship must be reached before a diploma can be awarded any of us, which is most appalling news. Ordering rings and pins, and getting photographed holds our attention now. A most busy time. April 22, 1925.-A Senior Social to-day enjoyed greatly by all present. May 10, 1926.-Did adopt the motto, He can whothinks he can, and did elect Historian, Prophet, and Poet for our class. And now graduation time being so near, with its Prom, Class Day, and other sad occasions dear fto quote the poet, Miltonj I must close this diary, which I have kept for four years, and turn my thoughts to the approaching day when the class of '26 will leave Hibbard High School and likewise Hibbard teachers and the class- mate who have enjoyed with us these four most happiest years, Samuel Pepys alias .-lldean Gibboney

THE LANTERN H 37 Glass Gjfislory Qune, 1926 Sept. 16, 1922.-Decided this day to record the events of my high school career, wherefore I may say that there be over a hundred young people in our class, and they are often called Freshies, yet I find that name somewhat dis- tasteful to mine ears. However, we being able to endure much, are happy in our drivers division rooms, 308, 310, and 312. The outlook for the four coming years does seem most bright. Dec. 23, 1922.-Rooms 312, 310, and 308 to drivers poor families to-day with baskets designed to cheer their Christmas. Room 310 did give good Christmas boxes to the Cook County Contagious Hospital this year. The class of '26 does desire most earnestly to be of value in life. And a worthy motive there is in their cheer-giving. Feb. 5, 1923.-Much rejoicing in Freshman quarters. The rank of 1A is most gratifying to our pride. May 23, 1923.-To-day the Freshmen did most distinguish themselves in the Junior events at our Field Day. A pleasant time had. Sept. 11, 1923.-This new semester, Miss Morse's students, room 308, were apportioned between Miss Marsh and Miss Fick in 310 and 312. Feb. 6, 1924.-Last semester very uneventful. The Freshies, as some called them, now enjoy the pleasure of being Sophomores. Rather proud of the distinction. Room 305 now is home to the students of 312 and insomuch as the room is new to them, they are quickly becoming settled. March 30, 1924.-VVithin the last few weeks both 305 and 310 have or- ganized Student Government. A commendable step to take. The officers of 305 be Cromer Nelson, president, Edna Wilson, secretary, Robert Basche, treas- urer, and Haydn jones, study officer. The president of 310 is Imogene Man- sell, who has the distinction of being the only girl in the school who is the pre- sident of a class. The vice-president of 310 is Sam Lesner, the secretary, Al Palmer, and the treasurer, Isadore Miller. june 5, 1924.-It now being near the end of our Sophomore year, we have had a festivity in celebration thereof. The gym decorated in gold and blue. Caps and bows of gorgeous tissue paper likewise worn. Dancing and games, -and also cookies, and lemonade, and sweetmeats of nectar-like deliciousness flid seem most enjoyable. Sept. 11, 1924.-Our two rooms joined for the junior year, and they be meeting for division and class purposes in 305, with Miss Marsh and Miss Fick joint teachers. Dec. 11, 1924.-Did organize our class with Robert Basche, president, Clara Zeikel, vice-president, and Edward Krinsky, treasurer. Dec. 18, 1924.-To-day was junior Ribbon Day and the whole school much beautified by the bows the juniors did sell. The money thereby obtained to be used for Christmas baskets for the poor as is our annual custom. Also the soldiers at the Speedway Hospitali' will receive magazine subscriptions from us. Furthermore, a contribution to the Milk Fund from our class. Feb. 12, 1925.-Room 305 has again elected officers. Sam Lesner, presi- dent, Joe Kugel, vice-president, Hannah Werth, secretary, and Edward Krinsky, treasurer. A most pleasant feeling that over seventy of those Freshmen of 310 and 312 have almost reached the great Senior year. Feb. 18, 1925.-To-day we lost one of our best members when pneumonia took Donald Hubbard from us. A boy known throughout the school for his fine spirit and high character.

THE LANTERN '39 Slfroplzecy of Qian' of une, 1926 The Ultimate Reunion of '26 JULES DASHOW The island of the perfect Utopia, whereon were placed the deserving class of June, 1926, was a scene that exceeded even the golden day-dreams of the twenty-sixers, which were so common during the by-gone class recitations. Old President Bob Basche was watching over and trying to keep order among his reunited flock. Everywhere were scenes of peace and repose. Harold Peterson's basso could be heard booming in harmony with Virginia Aeppli's beautiful soprano voice to the accompaniment of Ella Goldberg's 'harpischordf But that was not the only music on this isle. VVinnie Tharp was recalling old memories with her golden voice by singing the class song. Now and then Sam Lesner would chime in as he had always done with VVinnie and Madame Mel- nick in the Grand Opera. Music was indeed the order of the hour. So Loretta Olson in her little house over at one end of the island commenced to compose her famous songs. These songs seemed to have inspired Aldean Gibboney and Dorothy Sparks, who were visiting Loretta just then, for they recited to the eager class some masterpieces of literature which they had written during their successful literary lives. These readings were interrupted suddenly by Florence Frey who had been diligently taking the minutes of this glorious meeting with Marjorie XValter's aid, Who is that approaching this isle in a canoe so late? It canlt be Frances Carlson or Sam Lesner late on account of the Kedzie Avenue car, for they are already here. It's Julie Dashow, yelled Al Rubin as the canoe landed. The ancient and white-whiskered prophet of the class of '26 approached and greeted every- one heartily. I am sorry I am so late, Jules said, but I was so busy at my law-office that I almost forgot the final meeting. But happily I remembered in time. Oh, that's all right, President Bob, but you needn't trouble yourself, I can go around looking over the island myself. You are kept busy, I know, making everybody happy. In his meanderings, Jules saw athletic equipment, dancing floors and little comfortable houses spread about the island, Cromer Nelson-or Zuk to the class-was keeping in training as catcher on the Sox by throwing a baseball to Bernie Chernohilsky, his battery mate. Harry Ehrensaft, mean- while, was modestly telling of his record-breaking track tour through Europe with his two shrewd managers, Harry Samson and Harry Kopinsky-oh yes, the Hibbard Harrys' had gone into business together. To lend a sort of local color to these track stories, Al Rubin and Al Finkl were practicing by running along the beach. The rheumatic old men were doing the hundred yards in as much as eight seconds. They were slowing up in their old age so that even the lightning could almost beat them. Kayo Klein at that moment came running up with the latest editions of the Daily Utopian, of which Elizabeth Golosinec was editor by virtue of her being the world's foremost editor. Of course she was greatly aided by the Super- Utopian radio built for her by Joe Weiss, the successor to Marconi. This radio,
