' t cJo - EX-LIBRIS i;ocs COPYRIGHT 1930 Editor-in-Chief HERDIS CHRISTENSEN Business Manager LESTER PARIZEK Faculty Adviser FLORENCE CHURCHILL THE Red w ° White OF 1931 THE Red ° White OF 1931 ♦♦♦♦♦ m Published by THE CLASS IN JOURNALISM of Iowa City High School FOREWORD The growing drama has outgrown such toys Of simulated stature, face, and speech; It also, peradventure. may outgrow The simulation of the painted scene. Boards, actors, prompters, gaslight, and costume. And take for a worthier stage the soul itself. Its shifting fancies and celestial lights. With all its grand orchestral silences To keep the pauses of its rhythmic sounds. — Browning In the great drama of life we play our little scene, interpret our few lines, and cross the stage, leaving the plot to the players to come. In our short scene, attention is not alone cen- tered on us for our own sakes, but because wc hold the heritage of all the drama of the past. We have the austerity of the Greek and Roman drama, the symbolism of the medieval mystery and miracle plays, the human universality of the Elizabethan stage, and the confusion of the modern drama. This annual is a picture of our high school drama, the plot of which the seniors now hand on to other classes to carry on, as man from one age to another hands on the drama of the ages. In presenting this yearbook to the stu- dents, faculty, and friends of I. C. H. S., the Red and White staff has tried to put in spot- light each actor and director who has aided in the production of its four acts. DEDICATION Through four years of companionship and work with Miss Hughes, each and every senior has learned that knowing and admiring so splendid a teacher and so congenial and inspiring a coach as she, is one of the best things this high school affords. It is to her enthusiasm and her ceaseless efforts to raise the standard of play production in Iowa City High School, that every senior owes some of his finest memories of his high school life. To Miss Hughes who personifies so well the spirit of that most democratic of arts — the drama — the class of 1931 dedicates this yearbook. CONTENTS Act I. Act II. Act III. Act IV. Act V.

' ' There was wide wandering [or the greediest eye. To peer about upon variety. His breath was a chain which without a sound The earth, and the air. and the water hound: He came, fiercely driven, in his chariot throne Bu the ten fold blasts of the Arctic Zone. IOWA CITY HIGH SCHOOL Once again here as schoolmates assembled We gladly lift our hearts in song. To our High School, our dear old High School. Let gladness the moments prolong. We are proud of her lads and her lasses. Of honors won in days gone by, So here ' s a cheer for our old High School. For our old High School, our dear old High. Here ' s to our classes, Here s to our lasses. He re ' s to the lads they adore. Here ' s to the Seniors so mighty. Juniors so flighty, Freshie, and Sophomore. Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness. And as the days go by, You ' ll find us ready and steady, Boosting for our old High. Rah! Rah!

Miss Lucia Otto Treasurer Mr. W. E. Beck APPRECIATION The publication of a successful year book calls for a great deal of co-opera- tion from students as well as faculty members. To those who have given so willingly of their time and advice this year, the Red and White staff wishes to extend its thanks for whatever they have contributed to its success. The art classes and their instructor. Miss Lucia Otto, have always played an important part in preparing panels for engraving and posters for advertising. For the faithful work of Miss Otto and her helpers, Elsie Sedlacek. Richard Stramp. Harry Austin. Marcus Owen. Raymond Hotka. Harriett Batie. Ruth Davis, and Howard James, the staff is deeply grateful. Much credit should go to Miss Hughes also, for help in selection of texts. to Mr. Beck for photography, and to all who took part in. or helped in the production of Tars and Feathers.

Page 37 931 H ITF SENIOR POEM Though classes before us passed onward in glory. And their annals resound with the feats of their heroes. The records they left us reveal not the story, The deep-lying worth that proclaims us their peers. Lest this ballad seem that of a class without merit. In fields of importance, in skilled victory ' s fame. The role of our triumphs reveals undying spirit, The proof of our prowess, of our heroes acclaim. But not to ourselves is this paean directed. Not to our virtues, our valor and worth; But rather to those who by travail perfected The energy, courage, and skill that we boast. Though Fate unrelenting demands that we sever The ties which have bound us together so long, Memory eternal shall bear with us ever The joyous remembrance of days that are gone. — Clinton Moyer ' 31 s Page 38 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On the first round of golf played by the class of 1931 on the celebrated I. C. H. S. Tom Thumb Golf Course. everyone was unfamiliar with the game, and therefore made little progress. No leaders were chosen to direct the players, and everyone got along on his own hook. The best scores were ac- quired by Herdis Christensen, Dorothy Ewers. Margaret Mapes. and Beryl Weekes. After a none too lengthy recess, most of the group returned for another game. Some new recruits were added, while others were left behind to play with the group following. This time. Mr. Cannon, Ruth Aurner. Sidweli Smith, and Edith Hughes were chosen as leaders. One hazard was encountered near the beginning which required much athletic skill. Those with the best scores on this bunker were Harrison Wright and Eugene Lewis. Again Dorothy Ewers. Margaret Mapes. Herdis Christensen, and Beryl Weekes obtained par scores for the course. Several of this group distinguished themselves before many on-lookers in a vocal hazard ( Lelawala ). When all the players had completed the second round, the golfers again adjourned for a short vacation. After securing the necessary paraphenalia for the third game, the players began in earnest. By this time, most of them were experienced, and some grew quite conceited over their shots on some holes. Leaders chosen for this round were Mr. Trachsel. Esther Idema, James Christensen. and Robert Barrick. During the third round, those who displayed their ability to advantage on the holes requiring athletic skill were numerous, some of them making exception- al records, such as Neal Miller. Arthur Anderson. Lester Sanger. Theodore Miller. Joseph Russell. Charles Crawford. Victor Curry. Harrison Wright. James Christensen. Kenneth Barrick. and Wesley Walter. At the hazard called Penrod which required great dramatic power, others of the players showed their type of skill. During this round, the same girls. Herdis Christensen and Beryl Weekes. with the addition of Harold Paulus. were again counted the brightest of the group mentally, by making par scores or better. About this time, the hazard music festival was encountered by some and overcome, especially on the part of the boys who were members of the glee club. Then, as a final celebration for the good score made by everybody, the golf- ers decided to treat the preceding group of players to a party entitled the Junior-Senior. Here everyone appeared in gala dress, and gave himself up to the full enjoyment of the occasion. At the beginning of the fourth and last round, everybody was feeling gay. yet there was a tinge of sadness, for all realized that after this game was fin- ished, the group would no longer be together. Page 39 W. S N When leaders were selected for the fourth and last time, Mr. Trachsel was again chosen, with Bob Barrick, Ruth Aurner. and Harrison Wright as assist- ants. On this last round the number of players who starred in athletics was in- creased by several new men: namely, Theodore Miller. Harrison Wright. Charles Crawford. John Vander Zee. Jack Lewis, Victor Curry, Burton Schro- der, Bob Barrick, Ken Barrick, Wesley Walter, and Edward Sulek. Those having par scores or better on this round, were Don Paden. Harriett Batie. Marjorie Bryan. Wilma Laughlin. Margaret Mapes. and Beryl Weekes. This time those showing ability in encountering the Declam Contest hazard were Bob Barrick. Edith Hughes, Mary Louise Epperson. Mary Snider, and Sidwell Smith. Ruth Aurner, Bob Barrick, Dale Koser, Robert Hedges. Jack Lewis. Sidwell Smith, Lillian Walsh, John Vander Zee, Alys Rummelhart, Don Paden, Helen Breece. Marjorie Bryan, and John Stromsten made good scores on the oper- etta bunker. The dramatic bunker known as Senior Play was nobly overcome by the players renowned in that line, after which the entire group was entertained by the players, who were still engaged on the third round. Recognition for scores on the final green in the form of diplomas was a fea- ture of the last round. Some players, of course, had much higher scores when the total was averaged, due to their concentration on the game and less mental handicaps. Marjorie Bryan, Chairman Harriett Batie Jack Lewis Don Paden Page 40 CLASS PROPHECY Setting: Time — present. Place — assembly room senior day. ( Four travel-worn seniors return from a circumnavigation of the globe, dur- ing which time they had consulted fortune tellers to learn the futures of their classmates. To enact their experiences, the seniors act as the prophets and say the fortune-tellers words. ) Madam Tiopi, crystal ball reader, lured the inquisitive seniors to Japan. With her unusual and almost unique method of looking into the future, she has given them much about which to marvel in the futures of their fellow graduates. Peering fifteen years into the future she finds: Don Paden is the inventor of a special glider for long-legged people. Its economic advantage is that no landing gear is necessary. The pilot ' s feet hanging over each side, serve the purpose. Don Martin is giving lectures on How to grow a mustache rapidly. Alys Rummelhart is the chief member of the national affirmative debate team on the question. Resolred: That laughing in any form or measure is healthful. Esther Idema has a large dental practice in Detroit. Michigan. She is one of the few women dentists in the United States. Ralph Houser is the inventor of a mechanical dog to retrieve lost collar but- tons. Dick Sidwell. not satisfied with miniature golf, is proprietor of a very popular miniature croquet ground in Shueyville. Wilma Laughlin has just been appointed parachute tester for the Boeing Airway Company. Dorothy Blecha is an interpreter for missionaries in the Fiji Islands. Catherine Machovec s latest accomplishment is the perfecting of a watch as a set for a ring. Joe Russel holds the spagetti eating championship. He ate two miles of it in an hour. Rose Cohn is the proprietor of the home for aged stray animals in Brooklyn. N. Y. No animals are accepted under seven years of age. Virginia Ferguson is the owner of a sandwich shop. With true Scotch thrift. she utilizes leftovers in her ragbag sandwich. Lorren Burr, the second Luther Burbank. has perfected turnips on the ear in his experimental gardens in Florida. This is a cross between turnips and corn. His assistant, Carl Strasser. has grown square peas. He wanted some he would be able to keep on his knife. Helen Breece is head of the Social Service League in Paris with Mildred Hradek as her first assistant. James Christensen does fancy roller skating on the one-foot ledges of sky scrapers. He carries Don Anderson on his shoulders. John Grimm is leading a jazz band which is making a good will tour of the United States. Sid Smith plays a saxophone, and Lowell Kriel, a clarinet in this band. Paul Callaghan and Roy Calta are the joint compilers of a dictionary. After ten years of incessant labor, they have reached L . Beryl Weekes, tired of being a perfect blond, has invented a dye and rouge by which she can make herself a typical brunette. Page 41 Carolyn Chapman is running a dress shop and reducing parlor, showing slenderizing modes and styles. She uses herself as a model. Mary Snider, Dorothy Webster. Jessie Mills. Donald Sullivan. Thomas Stephens, and Donald Secrest have formed a club for the advancement of statisticians. Some of their latest projects are: (a) If all the bobby pins used by high school girls in one year were put end to end, how far would they reach? (b) If Miss Reger had 1900 admit slips in September, and Lester Sanger. Virgil Schnoebelen, and Gerald Rogers needed an average of three a week, when would she run out of slips? (c) If the cafeteria had three barrels of soup stock at the beginning of the year, and it is made with ten parts of water to one part of soup, how many owJs cou Id be ide? Joe Burger is still in high school, but will graduate this year if he gets through history. Mervin Minish is owner of an auto manufacturing plant which makes cars smaller than Austins. News has come from France that Charlotte Garwood and Marcia Hodges are creating a great sensation. The style is to go stockingless. Charlotte and Marcia just insist on wearing stockings.

Six teachers of the new Iowa City High School, the Misses Lucile Smith. Lois Williams. Hannah Jacobs. Alice Krofta. Marjorie Bryan, and Mr. Walter Houser. sponsored a class reunion for the class of 1931. October 16. 1946, at the Iowa Memorial Union.

Chairman Sidwell Smith Karl Kirk Dorothy Hughes Cleldon Ruppert Page 44 SENIOR CLASS WILL OF 1931 All the world ' s a stage And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrance And one man in his time plays many parts. How truly has immortal Shakespeare spoken! Is there any greater stage than that of high school life with all its diverse characters? Are there not many exits and entrances, too? Usually these are four years apart, but some are one year, two years, or possibly — five or six years. Of course in a cast of 1-40 players one finds good. bad. and indifferent actors. The more talented have played many parts. Just four years ago. the class of 1931 rushed upon this stage of Iowa City High School each determined to act his part successfully. Many of them have inscribed their names upon the walls of the hall of fame, while others have merely carved theirs upon the desks in the auditorium.

Duke Crawford scored Iowa City ' s six points on the opening kickoft, touching the ball back of the goal after Vestermark ' s kickoff. Coach Wells had a comparatively new backfield. which was unable to penetrate the Panther defense. IOWA CITY 54— VINTON No one doubted the fact that Iowa City had a promising team after witness- ing this game. The Hawklets waded through the Vinton line as if it were water, passing and plunging for marker after marker. Larry Burr made three of the touchdowns. IOWA CITY 7— FAIRFIELD 15 Underneath a blistering sun which took the pep out of twenty-two men par- ticipating in thi s game. Iowa City went down to defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black. The consistent punting of Crayne, Fairfield back, put the Hawklets on defense for most of the game. Mervin Minish. regular tackle, suffered a fractured vertebrae in this game, thus prohibiting his playing for the rest of the season. Page 70 IOWA CITY 0— CLINTON 7 Playing at night under the lights for the first time, the Hawklets went down to defeat at the hands of the Clintonians. The winning touchdown was much disputed since the pass, by which the marker was made, seemed to have bounced off the ground into the receiver ' s arms. The referee ' s decision held good, however, and Iowa City met defeat. Iowa City played a wonderful game of football, and missed several chances to score by small margins. IOWA CITY 18— COLUMBUS JUNCTION The Red and White machine began its winning streak by heading off Colum- bus Junction 18-0. Both teams proved stubborn on defense, but the polished Hawklets took the game by virtue of a smooth and powerful attack, led by Captain Bud ' ' Wright. IOWA CITY 6— GRINNELL Captain Bud Wright, along with Pinky Vestermark. led his team to victory with his plunging and passing. Two successive passes from Bud placed the ball on the one yard line, where two attempts by him drove it across. Bud was hurt on his first attempt at the marker, but his fighting blood and his Hawklet spirit kept him going till he put the ball over. IOWA CITY 6— WASHINGTON HIGH (C. R. ) The Little Hawks showed their best form of the season by turning back the Washington High Tigers. 6-0. The Hawklets played fast and clean, driving the Tigers continually to cover. Captain Wright made the winning score. Pink Vestermark came within two yards of another tou chdown, but was interrupted by the gun ending the half. Every Hawklet played his best game of the season, and turned back every Tiger advance. Rollie Williams, head coach of basketball at Iowa, who refereed the game, said it was the best high school game he had ever seen. IOWA CITY 0— DAVENPORT 37 The score of this game looks rather decisive, but it really gives a wrong im- pression. The score at the half was 6-0, in favor of Davenport and at the third quarter was 12-0. After Captain Wright had been removed from the game because of a leg injury. Coach Wells substituted almost the entire second team, saving his men for the Thanksgiving Day battle with Ft. Madison. The reserves battled stubbornly, but could not withstand the Blackhawk attack. Captain Wright, before his removal from the game, made the Davenport line look like a sieve, after he had completed his driving and plunging. IOWA CITY 0— FT. MADISON In a dull, slow game, caused by the cold and snow, the Hawklets and Ft. Madison battled to a scoreless tie. Neither team threatened seriously at any time, and both battled evenly throughout. No one was able to get away for long gains. If he did, he fell down or was tackled before he had progressed very far. On a fair day, this might have been a real battle. Nine Hawklets concluded their football careers with this game. Page 71 THE 193 ' RED and WHITE £ § I s fc JWv. Geovge Yv ' eUs JVlv. 3oe Cauuon. - Coach- - JVv.t. Coach - Pagc 72 Page 73 COACHES THE 1931 RED  WH ITE p Coach George Wells It is the natural ambition of every coach to turn out winning teams, and in this particular. Coach Wells has made a remarkable record. Although every game did not result in a victory, the teams displayed enough talent to make themselves an asset to the high school. Coach Wells has won the admiration of every student and team member, and has created a spirit and a feeling of fellowship with his followers, which has bound them together in a lasting friendship. This year, with a dusky outlook, Coach Wells developed a football team which possessed every quality of a real team, a morale which dominated every man, a sense of sportsmanship which has never been surpassed, and an undying, fighting spirit which has turned the tide of many games and sent many teams to defeat. His basketball team, which received only the slightest attention from outsiders, made a name for itself by bowling over the leading con- tenders in the M. V. C and. after being doped to fade out in the sectional tournament, won that tournament, and trampled on two undefeated teams in the district tournament. Except for an unlooked for misfortune, it would undoubtedly have won the district and made a great showing in the state finals. All those who have followed the 1930-31 athletic season realize what Coach Wells has accomplished, the morale he has established, the sportsmanship he has developed, and last but not least, the boys he has practically made through their athletic relations. It may well be said of him, — he was a successful warrior, and had the soldiers hearts. Assistant Coach Clarence Cannon Assistant Coach Cannon, a great factor in the development of athletics at Iowa City High, is the model, ideal gentleman of every student and athlete. Joe opened the eyes of many a player and passed on to him the knowledge he had derived through his long experience as an athlete. The teams consider Coach Cannon as an irreplaceable backer of the teams in his stress on the fundamental principles of sportsmanship. THE TEAM Harrison Wright. Captain Harrison Bud Wright, a triple threat man, played the best games of his high school career last fall. Time and again he broke through the line and it took the whole secondary defense to stop him. He could run the ends equally well. He played a marvelous defensive game all year and an opponent seldom got past him. Bud was high scorer of the Iowa City High team, and received honorable mention on the all state team. He will not return next year. It will take a good player to fill his shoes. Lorne Isensee. Lome Isensee is co-captain elect of the team. Ike was used at halfback and then at guard the first of the year, but was shifted to his customary position at center. He played his best game against Washington High. He was an accurate passer and charged fast. He made tackles all over the field when the opponents had the ball. Cleatus Stimmel. The other co-captain elect is Cleatus Stimmel. Gus alternated at tackle and halfback, but did not play much last fall, due to an injury. His 190 pounds were used to good advantage in gaining necessary yardage. He was a tower of strength on defense, and was especially good at opening holes for the backs. It took two or three opponents to block him and at that, he usually stopped the ball carrier. He will be back next year, a dangerous player for opponents to stop. . lewis. jatK i ewis maae the team the first year he went out for football, but it was his ast year in high school. He was a good defensive player, a hard tackier, and was fast in lottinn HfiM-ri ltndur t-, r c Jack Lewis. Jack Lewis mad last year in high school, getting down under punts. Paul Reed. Another end who showed up especially well on defense was Paul Reed. Plenty of interference was needed to get the ball carrier around his end. Paul will be back next year, when his play should show improvement. Page 74 Bill Yetter. Bill Yetter is another end who will return in the fall. He had all the qualifica- tions for his position and was used in one or two instances in the backfield. Bill was at his best on defense. Charles Crawford. It is seldom that a tackle scores a touchdown, but Duke made three, last season, by recovering the ball behind the goal, after an opponent had touched it. He kept his eyes on the ball and was seldom fooled by trick plays. Often he broke through, and threw the ball carrier for a loss. He played a consistent game all season. He will be missed next year. THE 1931 RED  WHITE Burton Schroder. Burton Schroder was handicapped somewhat by an injured leg. but played well in spite of it. He was a good defensive player and was aided in this respect by his size. Buck will not be back with us next year. Gerald Maresh. Another dependable lineman for next season will be Gerald Maresh. Gerald could always be depended on in a pinch. With last season ' s experience he should develop into a good player. Ted Miller. Ted Miller played his best game of the 1930 football season at Davenport. He was out to stop those Davenport backs, and he did. effectively. He was one of the lightest men on the line, but he made up for it in fight. He will not be back next year and will be missed greatly. Harold Riecke. Harold Riecke will be one of Coach Wells ' best linemen next year. Riecke was strong on defense and the interference found it hard to block him. He played consistent football all fall and, although he did not star, the opponents had plenty of evidence that he was there. Lawrence Burr. A newcomer to school this year, Lawrence Burr started the season at quarterback. He directed the team well and was a good ball carrier. However, he was in- jured near the middle of the season, and from then on he filled in at end. His play was slowed up somewhat, due to an injured leg. Victor Curry. Victor Curry, quarterback and safety man. was the smallest player on the first team. He was shifty and good at returning punts. He was ineligible the first part of the year, but returned the latter part of the season and made a good showing. He is a junior, but will be unable to play next reason, due to the eight semester ruling. Eldred Vestermark. Another backfield man who will not return is Eldred Vestermark. Pinky was another triple threat man. and was especially good at breaking up the oppo- nets ' aerial attacks. In the Columbus Junction game he intercepted five passes. Pinky was shifted from tackle to halfback. He was a hard tackier and got down under punts as fast as the ends. John Vander Zee. Another player who earned his only letter in his senior year was John Vander Zee who played right half. He had a deceptive side-step which was an aid in running back punts, and he was fast in getting started. Johnny graduates this year. Mervin Minish. Mervin Minish injured a vertebrae in his neck at the beginning of the Fairfield game, and as a result was out of school the rest of the semester. He was a hard tackier, was good on defense, was hard to block, and could open holes for the backs. Al- though he will be back next year, he will not be able to play, due to the eight semester ruling. Sevdel Ersland. Seydel Ersland. an end, was the smallest player on the squad. Although he was hindered somewhat by his size, he gave a good account of himself while playing. He was hard to draw out of position. Si will be back next year and should develop into a good player. Henry Soucek. Henry Soucek. another diminutive end, made himself known to his opponents regardless of his size. He is a sophomore, and should in two more years, become a capable end. Page 75 o REVIEW OF T HE FOOTBALL SEASON Playing a nine game schedule which included some of the state ' s best teams, Iowa City turned in an enviable record in spirit, if not in scores. The team possessed the fight which carried it to unlocked for victories, and brought it recognition in the state ' s record of outstanding teams. The team ' s record of five victories and four defeats is not average; it is far above the average when one considers the opposition encountered. Here are the results of this season: Iowa City 6 Iowa City 54 Iowa City 7 Iowa City Iowa City 18 Iowa City 6 Iowa City 6 Iowa City Iowa City Grant High (C. R.) . . 18 Vinton Fairfield 15 Clinton 7 Columbus Junction . . Grinnell Washington High ( C. R. ) Davenport .... 37 Ft. Madison .... Page 76 REVIEW OF THE BASKETBALL SEASON RED BASKETBALL SQUAD - i.. Coai h Wells, Wright Ersland, Walters, Reed, Isensee, Sulek Miller. R..Barrick, Stimmel, Vestermark, K. Barriek, VandcrZee For the last three years, Iowa City has advanced to the finals of the district tournament, losing by small margins each time. But she has grown stronger each year, and is putting up a better fight each successive tournament. This year, Iowa City presented one of the most formidable teams in the state, although it was rated as the underdog in almost every encoun- ter. Only the members of the team knew what they were able to do, and they strove to attain that degree of perfection which would enable them to conquer greater fields. Very few teams have reached the heighth of perfection in sportsmanship that this one was able to attain, or acquire the personnel that these boys possessed. Many an opponent was sent to defeat because of the undying spirit and stubborness displayed by these men before admitting defeat. The team was forced to overcome a serious handicap at the close of the first semester, due to the loss of two regular players, but it proved to the sport world that it could make the best of every obstacle. Bv virtue of a steady and determined rally, Iowa City emerged from its schedule in a tie for fourth place with Clinton in the M. V. C. The Hawklet rally began with the second Dubuque game, and from then on, Iowa City lost only one game until the finals of the district tournament. At the district tournament, she was beaten by fate in a four minute rallv brought about by the extraction, on fouls, of their great defensive center, after she had out- played and outscored her opponents for 28 minutes of the game. Although this encounter concluded the team ' s victories, it could well lay claim to the fact that it had made as good a showing as any team which competed in the state finals. Page 77 THE IQ3I fcED  WH ITE IOWA CITY 22— LONE TREE 12 Led by Captain Vestermark and Kay Barrick, the Hawklets subdued Lone Tree in a typical first game of the season. The Red and White had had only one week of practice, but showed surprising power. IOWA CITY 16— GRANT HIGH 28 Grant High made away with the Little Hawks in the first quarter after Iowa City had evened accounts in the second and third quarters. Kay Barrick played an excellent floor game, while Pink Vestermark and Bud Wright handled most of the scoring. IOWA CITY 12— DUBUQUE 36 Dubuque presented a bunch of hot-shots who forgot how to miss the basket for four quarters. Iowa City couldn ' t get started, and fell a victim to the Duhawk attack. Captain Vestermark led the Red and White advance. IOWA CITY 20— CLINTON 21 In a fast and snappy game, the Hawklets went down to a last minute defeat in one of those games that they should have won. Iowa City had the game up until the last few seconds, which told the tale of victory for the Clintonians. IOWA CITY 14— UNIVERSITY HIGH 10 This was probably the worst game of the season. The Hawklets had the upper hand all the way, but because of the rivalry and over-anxiousness, the score was kept quite low. IOWA CITY 11— DAVENPORT 22 A half scared Red and White quintet tackled Davenport and fell short only because of their timidity. The half ended 1 5—4 for Davenport; but after the Little Hawks had rested a few minutes, they came back strong, and outscored Davenport 7-5 in the last half. IOWA CITY 30— WASHINGTON HIGH 13 In a fast game which concluded the careers of two Hawklet regulars, Iowa City smothered the Tigers from Cedar Rapids. Captain Vestermark captured scoring honors, while Bud Wright mowed down the Tiger defense with his evasive dribble and set-up shots. IOWA CITY 14— GRANT HIGH 28 Grant High again proved too much for the Little Hawks, taking the long end of a 14-28 count. The Hawklet defense faltered in the last half, allowing Grant ' s hot-shots to pile up a big score. Bob Barrick was unable to make the trip due to a conflict. IOWA CITY 22— DUBUQUE 16 The Little Hawks with a rejuvenated and reorganized team ripped the spurs from the heels of the Duhawks, and avenged their former defeat at Dubuque. The Red and White zone defense held the visitors at bay for seven minutes before they scored a po int. The Hawklet defense continued the good work throughout the rest of the game, however, and baffled all Duhawk attempts at penetration. Bob Barrick and Johnnie Vander Zee led the scoring with seven points each. IOWA CITY 19— CLINTON 8 Iowa City proved to Clinton that she had the best team by taking a well earned decision from her at Clinton. Nothing could stop the Little Hawks as they ran in and out of the Red and Black defense, collecting 19 points to Clinton ' s 8. This victory marked another cross on the Hawklet rally chart, and avenged the former one-point defeat. IOWA CITY 23— UNIVERSITY HIGH 9 Attacked by LIniversity High on the home floor, Iowa City made up her former low score game by decisively defeating the Blue and White. Both teams were quite ragged, and bad passes marred the playing on both sides. Page 7S IOWA CITY 21— DAVENPORT 24 If ever a team was scared to death, it was Davenport. Leading 15-10 at the half. Daven- port could not withstand the Hawklet assault which was renewed with surprising power. Iowa City needed about thirty seconds to cop the game, but. unfortunately, the timer ' s gun put a stop to a determined rally which would certainly have overcome the Blackhawks in time. IOWA CITY 19— WASHINGTON HIGH 14 The Hawklet rapped the Tigers for another victory at Cedar Rapids in a rough and tumble game featured with many fouls. One man on each team was sent to the showers as a result. Nevertheless the Red and White machine emerged victor by checking the late Tiger rally. This game concluded the M. V. C. schedule, placing Iowa City in a tie for fourth place with Clinton. THE 1931 RED  WHITE SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT AT MARENGO IOWA CITY 20— WELLMAN 14 The score indicates a close game, which is true, but the Hawklet reserves played practically the whole game, and stepped on all Wellman ' s attempted rallies. The game was rather awk- ward and rough, one Little Hawk being removed from the game on fouls. IOWA CITY 26— WILLIAMSBURG 16 The undefeated Williamsburg quintet proved no match for the consistent Red and White team. Iowa City had the game tucked in the bag from the start, sinking their shots from any point on the floor. Captain Vestermark collected 14 of his team ' s 26 points. IOWA CITY 42— MARENGO 12 The finals of the sectional tournament proved to be a point-getting affair as the Little Hawks whipped the net red hot before Marengo entered the scoring column. Pink Vestermark turned in high honors with seven baskets. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AT DAVENPORT IOWA CITY 26— CENTERVILLE 6 Iowa City exploded the first bomb of the tournament by stepping on Centerville in a tight defensive game. Captain Vestermark and Clcatus Stimmel led the scoring with ten and nine points respectively. IOWA CITY 17— KEOKUK 13 Spilling all previous so-called dope, Iowa City surprised the state by tripping the strong Keokuk quintet, which had a record of twenty-four consecutive victories to their credit, and was considered a strong contender for the state title. This game was the first sample of what Iowa City could do in the way of defense and scoring, and by virtue of which Iowa City be- came the center of attraction of the tournament. IOWA CITY 14— MUSCATINE 21 Contrary to the story the score tells, Iowa City came so close to smashing Muscatine ' s hopes of a championship team that the whole state gasped in amazement. The Little Hawks displayed in this game the finest defense of any team in the tournament, but was unable to cope with the breaks which went to Muscatine ' s advantage every time. The Muskies jumped to a 5-1 lead at the quarter, but were held scoreless for the second quarter while the Little Hawks raised their own score to 8. Iowa City clearly outplayed and outscored the Muskies who were almost beaten, until the time Iowa City ' s great defensive center left the game on fouls. The Hawklet pivot man. Stimmel. put the damper on Muscatine s big-shot Barko, who was able to make only one basket while playing opposite him. After Stimmel ' s departure, he ran his total up to seven points, making five points in the last four minutes. Popular opinion awarded the decision to the Little Hawks, without a doubt, but as long as the score told the tale, it had to remain that way. Muscatine, however, made a good showing at the state finals by winning second place. If Iowa City High could have presented a team superior to the Muskies. as she did at Davenport, she certainly would have made as good, if not a better showing at the state finals than did Muscatine. Page 79 Kehnefk ftarritK. C e2lfuS Stitntnel ieydel Ershmi oKn Vahdet . Zee Page V THE TEAM Captain Eldred Vestermark — Forward. Pink was the most consistent scorer on the team. His follow-up shots and his long shots were equally as regular, thus adding considerably to the Hawklet advantage. Pink possessed the stamina and speed necessary for a steady- player, and was rewarded for his playing by being chosen as all-tournament forward on the all-star team of the Davenport district. He was the idol of the team members and the stu- dents for his sportsmanship and spirit which carried the Hawklets to many a victory. Pinky played his best basketball in the 1931 tournaments, and ended his high school athletic career with one of the finest records of any Hawklet athlete. Kenneth Barrick — Guard. Kenneth is the older of the two basketball guards that made the 1930-31 Little Hawks famous as a defensive team. With his drive, his keen insight in deter- mining every move of his opponent, which enabled him to check them or take the ball away from them, his natural ability to dribble and handle the ball, and his ability to make baskets from well behind the free throw line, won for him the reputation of being one of the best guards that has ever represented I. C. H. S. Robert Barrick — Guard. Bob came to the squad as a beginner in basketball. Lack of experience, however, was no handicap for him. and by dogged determination and willingness to surmount all difficulties, he improved with each succeeding game until he was able to team with his brother in such a way that they earned the cognomen of the Barrick Twins. To name one of the Barricks on an all-star team is in reality naming both of them, because if either had a shortcoming in basketball, the other made up for it. John Vander Zee — Forward. Johnnie displayed his basketball talents throughout the season with his quick, deceptive pivot, and his snappy shot. He was always a point getter, and played steadily throughout every game. His services will be greatly missed next year, as he has built up the reputation of a very dependable player. John excelled in floor play also. Cleatus Stimmel — Center. Cleatus was unsurpassed on defense, and proved his ability by holding Layden of Davenport to one basket in the final Hawklet-Blackhawk tilt of the season. At the district tournament, he opened up and added point getting tactics along with his defensive work. In the final Muscatine game, he held the great Barko to three points in 28 minutes, before he went out of the game on fouls. Cleatus has given his best in everv game, and returns next year until the close of the first semester. Lorne Isensee — Guard. Ike proved to be a dependable guard, handling the ball with the eye of a veteran. He often proved rough with opponents, but kept his ground throughout every game. Ike improved on his shots to a considerable degree, and during the tourna- ments he was at his highest pitch, planting long shots consistently from anywhere on the court. Ike will be back next year until the close of the first semester. Theodore Miller — Guard. Ted was a great defensive player who stuck with his man like a barnacle. He showed his ability in the Wellman game with his great defensive playing and floor work. Ted will not be back next year. Edward Sulek — Forward. Ed fitted well in pinches and displayed his hot-shots before the game was very far along. He played his best game against Wellman, holding second scor- ing honors. Paul Reed — Center. Bango lived up to his nickname by planting many pot-shots from the free throw line and from under the basket. Paul also proved to be a stellar defensive player. He will be back next year for the first semester. Harrison Wright — Forward. Bud certainly did his share of the scoring and defensive work during his stay on the squad which lasted up until the close of the first semester. He was master of fake and dribble which caused many teams to go down in defeat. Bud has proved to be one of the best players that has ever represented I. C. H. S. Wesley Walters — Forward. Wes played up until the close of the first semester, and proved that he was there with the goods when called upon to enter the fray. He excelled in floor play and defense, and gave the best he had in every game. Sevdel Ersland — Forward. Si made up for his size by using his head consistently. Because of his brevity, he saw little action, but that didn ' t keep him from fighting when he was in- serted in the game. Si failed to gather enough quarters for a letter, but showed his worth as a squad member. He will be back next year. Henry Soucek — Forward. Hank and Si made a good pair for size, Henry having about a three inch advantage which didn ' t amount to a great deal when the real test came. Al- though he didn ' t quite make his letter. Hank ' s fighting spirit made him a valuable squad member who will be available next year.

The team which was composed of John Boyles. John Vander Zee, Ansel Chapman, and Peter Bannon, was coached by Howard Orvis, a freshman at the University of Iowa. A five match schedule was arranged. Two matches were played with Musca- tine, and one each with Grinnell, Roosevelt of Des Moines, and Washington of Cedar Rapids. The Little Hawks beat Grinnell 4-2 and played to a draw with Roosevelt. In the district meet John Vander Zee in the singles and John Boyles and Ansel Chapman in the doubles won firsts and represented this district in the finals at Des Moines. Tennis is rapidly becoming a popular sport in Iowa City High, and much interest is being shown in it. § £ £ £ S Page S3 Miss Helen Hayes Director of Girls ' Athletics Under the direction of Miss Hayes.

Paint and Patches seeks to promote the further development of students who possess some dramatic ability, and to instill in them a higher standard of dra- matic ideals. To become a member of Paint and Patches, one must have had either a semester of dramatics, interpretation, or public speaking, or have been in some high school play. Instead of a three one act play program, as has been the custom heretofore, the club presented Wappin ' Wharf February 12.

Smith, Fox, I, Smith, Cone, Fousek, Purvis Organized rifle shooting seeks to develop the attributes of concentration, accuracy, courtesy, patience, obedience, and the qualities of fair play and man- liness which make for self-control, so essential to success in anything we at- tempt. Rifle firing is universal in its application, because the little fellow can com- pete against the big fellow. Moreover, it is attractive to boys who are not interested in any other sport. Iowa City High School ' s rifle team is one of its most active organizations Throughout the year the team worked hard to gain laurels for I. C. H. S. and was successful. It won first place in the bi-weekly matches in competition with class B schools of the N. R, A. At the S. U. I. medley match it won second, placing over the university ' s R. O. T. C. outfit. The first trips in the history of the Iowa City rifle team were taken this year when it journeyed to Minneapolis. Minnesota, and Booneville. Missouri, to fire matches. OFFICERS President Carl Cone Vice-President Lawrence Smith Secretary Warren Fox Coach Sergeant Buckley Page 96 Miss Lola Hughes Director of Dramatics To win without boasting, to lose without complaint, to go down fighting, to triumph without malice, are the cardinal virtues which Miss Hughes instills into everyone who works under her direction. She has the loyalty, admiration, and deep affection of every student who. either in her classes or. as a member of her forensic teams and dramatic productions, have felt the strength of hei character, and the depth and sincerity of her devotion to the principles of fair play and honor.

Helen Fitzgerald Place: The Arden library on a rainy afternoon. (Dream is in the castle of the King of Vaucheria in old France. ) Time: 1931. (Dream is during the fifteenth or sixteenth century wherever knighthood bloomed.) (Jean and Janet are comfortably seated in the Arden library. At the left side of the room is a davenport and close beside it. a comfy chair. Jean is on the davenport looking at an old photograph album, while Janet is on the side of the room pasting pictures in a scrapbook.) Janet (dreamily): I wish there were really fairies. Jean (absent mindedly) : Why? Janer (all enthused): Oh. it ' s so much fun to read fairy stories. I ' d like to have come true. Wouldn ' t it be fun if suddenly a fairy should appear and say. Janet, you are so good — and — and — kind — and — and — well, considerate of other people that I ' m going to give you three fairy wishes. and then — Jean (matter-of-factly ) : Well, if she counted goodness you ' d never get any wishes. Janet. Oh. yes. I know. But just to pretend I were very, very good. Id wish for — ah — I ' d wish for — Jean. What irould you wish for? Janet: It ' s funny. I can ' t think of the things I ' d want most of all. Of course there ' s wealth and health and happiness — and — beauty — and — Jean: You ' ve been begging your mother for a dog for a long time. Why not make that one of your wishes? Janet: If I had wealth, I could buy a dog (makes a face at Jean). So there! Jean (returning grimace): Smarty! Anyway. I think this fairy tale idea is terrible. You ' re always thinking of something like that. Something that would never happen. Janet: Well, I got your sister, Rosemary, and Jack Simmons engaged, didn t I? Jean: Yes, but you had to admit this knight — and — his lady stuff wasn ' t so good. Anyway I almost wish Rosemary and Jack w ' eren t engaged. All they do is moon around. The place isn ' t livable while they ' re around. Janet (grinning): That will soon be over. They ' ll be married before long, and then you won ' t be bothered. I Pauses, then disgustedly.) Oh, gosh. Let ' s talk about something interesting. Jean: All right. (Leaning forward with mock sincerity.) Janet, what do you think of pro- hibition ' Janet: The subject ought to be prohibited. (Pause.) You know. I ' ve always wished I lived back in the time when there were real princes and princesses; when people lived in castles on high cliffs: and the knights — Jean (in despair): The knights again! Jancf (continuing after a look at Jean): — and the knights defended the castles. I ' d love to live in a castle. Some day when I ' m rich I ' m going to buy myself a castle and live in it. I can pretend I ' m a princess. (Gives a condescending look at Jean.) You could be my lady-in-waiting. Jean (exploding): Waiting is right! Only you d be waiting. Count me out of this scheme! I wouldn ' t want to live in castles. I read somewhere that they are as cold as everything. They don t have running water or heat or anything. Janet (disgusted): You re always looking at the practical side of everything. I don t see how you have any fun at all. I don t care about the heat or water. (Thoughtfully.) It would seem sort of silly for a knight — Jean (ready to tear her hair): The knights again!!! Janet (continuing in spite of it): — for a knight to get a glass of water for his lady instead of making a cup of his hands (she demonstrates) and letting her drink out of them. Jean: If all the women had to drink that way all of the time. I understand why they had such small waists. Look at all of the germs they drank. Almost enough to kill any ordinary- person. And what if a lady didn ' t have a knight? Seems like she ' d get thirsty once in a while. Janet. Pessimist! No matter what you say. Id still like to be in one of those castles for even just one hour, one where the people live as they used to, I mean. Page 123 Jean (Jean is laughing at something in the book. She looks at Janet and then back at the book. She pauses long enough to answer.): Maybe your good fairy could carry you back a few hundred years for an hour or so, and let you see how the people acted. (She begins to giggle again. Janet tries not to pay any attention to her.) Janet: Well, now you are talking sense. I ' ll bet the people acted different from what they do now. They saw the beautiful and the poetic side of everything. (Irritated.) What are you laughing at, Jean? Jean: Nothing. Nothing at all. Just your baby picture! Janet: I saw your baby picture the other day and I can ' t say you were much to rave about. Jean: Oh, that one wasn ' t bad. I tore up one that was lots worse. Janet (looks mock-horrified): How could it have been worse? (She walks over and sits near Jean.) Jean: Well, to continue about the knights. I cant argue your point about poetry. I only hope that sometime you can dig up some old buried city and find these people you dream of. I suppose it would be sort of fun to see how they acted, but I wouldn ' t trade places with anyone. Janet: No, I don t suppose you would. (Yawns.) Oh, hum. I feel sleepy. Jean (stretching): So do I. It must be the day. Janet: I — guess — I ' ll — go — to sl-e-e-p. (She falls back asleep.) Jean: It ' s so funny. I — feel — dead — tired. (Jean falls asleep. After a silence of a few min- utes, the door opens softly and slowly. The Princess Sonia and Mira enter. The Princess and her servant are dressed in the garb of that time. Sonia moves restlessly about. Mira busies herself straightening the room.) Sonia: I ' m so tired of it all. Our lives are so fickle. Mira (horrified): Princess Sonia! Sonia: I know you ' re shocked. I can ' t help it. Our lives are so silly — and disgusting. Mira: Disgusting, your highness? I beg your pardon, but you have everything you wish for. Sonia (sadly): Not everything, Mira. Mira (in surprise) : Not everything, your highness? You have wealth and beauty and suitors — Sonia (in disgust): Suitors! Fickle, smirking knights, too proud of themselves! Always boast- ing of their brave deeds! (Scornfully.) Brave deeds! Killing bears and murdering men unable to fight! Mira: Your highness, are you out of your mind? Sonia: No, I ' m still sane. Too sane. That s the trouble with my people. They never see the serious side of life. We are here for a purpose. What it is, I cannot seem to under- stand. But each person has his duty to perform and he should — Oh, well. You will never understand. You may go now. Mira. Mira: But your ladyship should not be unchaperoned. Sonia: Oh, well then send Rosa to me. She is one of the most sensible persons I know. Mira: As you say, your highness. (She leaves and presently Rosa enters.) Rosa: You wished to see me, your highness? Sonia: Yes, Rosa. I just wanted you to keep me company. Rosa: Oh, yes, your ladyship. Sonia: I am in an odd mood. Rosa. It ' s worse than before. Why do people have to be so poetic and use such long speeches and flowing words? Oh, I know. You and Mira don t. That ' s why I like you so. But there are so many, many people who take up so much time in saying so little. Rosa: Oh, your highness — Sonia: Please don ' t call me that. I ' m only Sonia after all. Rosa: Well, Sonia, I know what you mean about flowery speeches. Sir Conrad — Sonia: Yes, Sir Conrad. That ' s the person I mean especially. He is so boresome and tiring. Rosa: And he hopes to marry you! Sonia: I know. That ' s what ' s so awful about it. He is! (Conrad enters unseen by either.) Sir Conrad! Pooh! He is very wealthy and powerful and that ' s why — Sir Conrad: Why what, your highness? Sonia: Oh, so you re here. (She is cold. Rosa begins sewing.) Conrad: Yes, rose of roses. Mira told me I might find you here, sweet lady. Sonia: Oh, she did, did she? Conrad: Aye. I have this very morning returned from Lord Randean s castle in Beringsquire. He is lavishingly preparing for the wedding of his eldest daughter, the fair Esther. Sonia: Oh? (To herself.) Poor girl! Conrad: Yes, Princess. This is the season of weddings. When the birds sing their sweel melodies all day long and flowers dance gaily in the soft, spring breeze. Oh. I love this season, the best in all the year. I am hoping to marry soon, myself. Sonia (suspiciously): With what maid? Conrad: A most worthy man has granted my humble pleas to marry his fair daughter Sonia: Tell me who! Don ' t take so much time ' Conrad: Your highness! Well, fair lady, thy ather — Page 124 Conrad Sonia : Conrad Sonia : Conrad Sonia : Did you not guess it before? I feared it. Feared it, fair one? What means that? It means I won ' t marry you! You won ' t marry me! But, fair lady, you must — I won ' t do it! -r klJ iv A H ITS Conrad (the king is seen in the doorway) : Here comes your father. He will prove to you that I will wed you in a fortnight. (King of Vaucheria enters.) My lord, did you not an hour since give your word that I should marry your fairest daughter ' King: I did, Conrad Deauville. Sonia: Father, I won ' t marry him! King: What sayst thou, Sonia? Sonia: I said I won ' t marry Conrad Deauville. I loathe him! I despise him! King: You know not what you say. I am your father, and I shall arrange your marriage. Sonia: You can arrange it, but I won ' t be wedded to Conrad Deauville! King: List to this, Rosa: My daughter, Princess Sonia of Vaucheria. and Sir Conrad Deau- ville, Lord of Manor Estate shall be wedded in a fortnight. Conrad: Ah, ha! Sonia: Father, I won ' t! I ' ll enter a convent! King: But, my daughter, it is but a simple matter to bring you back. Sonia: Then I ' ll kill myself! It won ' t be so simple to bring me back then. All: Princess Sonia! Sonia: I mean it. King: Will you not give me back my promise. Sir Conrad? (Sonia sees it is useless and leaves.) I would not see my daughter so unhappy. Conrad: No, your highness. You have given me your word of honor, and I want nothing else. King: Alas. A pledge is a pledge, and I must keep my word. Sonia must be content. Sonia — (He looks around and sees she has gone.) Where is she? Rosa, go fetch your lady. Rosa: Yes, my lord. (She leaves.) Conrad: Why does your only child dislike me so? I am an honorable man. I have wealth and all that could make her happy. King: I know not. She — (Rosa enters wailing and is followed by Mira who is doing the same. ) Rosa: She has kept her word! She is dead! Oh, your highness! Conrad: What? King: Come, Rosa, what is this? Rosa: She has thrown herself from her balcony onto the cruel stones beneath! Oh, my poor dear Sonia! A ' [ ' Jc7 (is dazed) : I did not think she would keep her word. She ivas an odd lass. (He breaks down.) Come show me the place. (Mira and the King leave.) Conrad: Why did she do such a thing 1 I could have made her happy. Rosa: I know, but you would never understand. Conrad: Tell me what you mean, you wretch. Rosa: No. That my poor lady told to no one but me, and no one else shall ever hear. (Rosa and Conrad leave as Conrad tries to find out what Rosa knows. There is a short silence. Suddenly Jean awakens and Janet stirs in her sleep.) Jean (stretches and wakes) : Oh. hum, I must have been asleep. Janet (awakens slowly and says rather dazetily ) : I must have been asleep, too. Jean: You know, I had the oddest dream. Janet (Janet starts up and looks around to see if the people are not there. She is disappointed.) : It must have been a dream. Jean: There was a beautiful princess! Janet: And a knight — Jean: And a king — Janet: And a castle! (Jean and Janet stare at each other.) Jean: Did you have the same dream I did? Janet: If it were a dream, I dreamed of a beautiful princess who killed herself. Jean: So she wouldn ' t have to marry a silly knight! Janet: Yes, it must have been the same dream. Jean: How funny. It seemed so real. Janet (suddenly) : No! Ill bet my fairy did take us bac k hundreds of years to let us see how the people acted! Jean: That couldn ' t be. But suppose she did. She had a reason. Do you still think all of the people used to see the poetic side of life? Janet: Well, Sonia and Rosa didn ' t. Jean: And that knight was so silly! Janet: There are exceptions to every good fairy did it all. rule. Maybe it was a dream. (CURTAIN) Page 125 but I ' ll always think my THE FOURTH AND LAST ACT SEPTEMBER 8-12 Registration — Say. there.

Their beds are all in a row with Jean Marie, age seven, in the first, Barbara Ann, age five, in the second, and Rosemary, age three, in the third. Mrs. Sherman is reading to the children out of a fairy tale book. And so Cinderella married the prince and they both lived happily ever after. ' Now. Jean Marie, wasn ' t that a lovely story? . . . Oh, you like the stories daddy reads better. Well, let ' s see what he reads. Out of the green book did you say, dear? Here it is. Now let ' s see. (Opens book and reads.) A green and horrible hand reached through the parted c urtains — it hesitated a moment before striking. Then a scream, a choking sound, then silence. ' Why, Jean Marie, are these the stories daddy reads to you? He ought not to be reading that stuff himself, much less passing it on to his small daughters. Barbara dear, will you please stop scratching? You know what the doctor said. Now before we start the next story, let ' s brush our teeth Why do we brush our teeth? Why to get rid of the germs of course . . . No, Jean, germs don ' t come from Germany. Not any more than does pork come from a porcupine. Rosemary baby, do you suppose you could be just a little more careful to keep your feet under the covers? . . . Of course. I know it ' s nice to stick your feet out and cool them on the bed, but please, dear, try to be just a little more careful. Now let ' s start the next story. Let ' s see, it seems to be Beauty and the Beast. ' Once upon a time a long time ago there lived — Barbara will you try not to scratch, dear? . . . I know it itches, but do be careful. Would you like to hear about when I had the measles when I was a little girl? Let me see, I was just about as old as Jean. When I was a little girl nobody knew as much about diseases as they do now. It was in midsummer, and you know how hot Florida is in that season. The weather, however, didn ' t seem to alter my mother ' s plans in regard to the number of blankets I should have over me. In addition to this I had all the other children in the family sleeping in the same room with me . . . Why? You see people thought then that all children simply had to have certain diseases, so when one member of the family got a disease, all the other children were immediately exposed to it . . . Barbara, please don ' t scratch. You know when I had the measles my hands were tied down so I couldn t scratch. In my room the shades were all pulled down so the room was very dark. Now we know that the shades don ' t have to be pulled down. Let ' s continue with the story. Once upon a — . ' Rosemary, what is that which I see creeping out from under the covers? Do you suppose it could possibly be a little foot? Please, dear, try to keep it under. Once upon a time a long time ago there lived a merchant who had three daughters — Barbara Ann, don t scratch, dear, it will make ugly scars. Now th? youngest of these three girls was so beautiful that everyone called her Beauty. ' Oh. here ' s daddy. He ' ll read to you until supper ' s ready. No. not out of the green book. Jean Marie, indeed not. That book goes back to the library as soon as possible. Oh, John, will you read to the children until suppers ready? We were just reading Beauty and the Beast. ' You had better start at the first, because we hadn ' t gone beyond the first paragraph.

How do you define black as your hat? ' Darkness that may be felt. The children of the neighborhood were going to bury a dead cat. Later, little Mary returned, looking despondent. What ' s the matter, Mary? asked the mother. Did you have the funeral? No, mother, was the slow answer, the cat was too dead! Patient: I ' m bothered with a little wart, I would like to have removed. Doctor: The divorce lawyer is on the second floor. Jack Lewis (after inquiring about bewildering bells): That was the half hour bell. There ' s eight minutes in the next half hour! 1st: What ' s an operetta? 2nd: Don ' t be dumb — it ' s a girl who works for the telephone company.
