T. Jacksonville has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful cities in the state of Illinois. It has the pioneer college of the middle west and the largest woman’s college west of the Alleghenies. It can also boast of one of the best equipped and most modern high schools of the state. The high school building is located on West State street about midway between Illinois College and Illinois College for Women. It is a handsome three story structure with a large basement in which are the departments of manual training and domestic science. The manual training department occupies three rooms. Two rooms for bench and wood work and one for wood turning. There is not a more popular or practical department in the high school thau manual training. None in which more efficient work is done. No other department gives such an all round symetrical training. It developes the mind, bod)’ and soul. 8 The Nautilus Trains the eye, quickens the powers of observation, developes skill in the use of tools and above all teaches the dignity of labor. It does not make carpenters but its object is the same of the work the department turns out. Perhaps the most valuable piece of work made during the present year, is a steam launch which is worth at least three hundred dollars. Several as the fundamental aim of all education; namely, to fit the student for the enjoyment and activities of life. Three courses are offered: an elementary course in woodwork, a course in furniture making and a course for those desiring technical training. tables and davenports were made during the year worth from forty to fifty dollars each. Domestic science occupies two rooms adjoining manual training. One is devoted to sewing and the other to cooking. Both branches of the The manual training department gave three exhibits of its work during the year. The accompanying cuts are photographs of work exhibited March 22 and are good illustrations department are doing good work and at the various exhibits during the year have elicited the highest praise from those who visited them. We now ascend to the first floor The Nautilus 9 where we find eight beautiful recitation rooms and a general lecture room arranged around a spacious corridor which serves as a banquet hall on festal occasions. While the famous Turner Art Exhibit was with us from May 8 to 11, this beautiful corridor was turned into an art gallery. Two hundred reprints of the most famous paintings of Ancient and Modern shown below. The library contains two thousand volumes. Realizing that the collection was entirely too small, a movement was started this year to build it up until it shall be adequate to the needs of the school.

LIBRARY Principal’s Office 12 The Nautilus On the south side of the corridor the beautiful and spacious study hall is located with the principal’s office to the west and the superintendent’s office on the east. Thestudy hallisused asastudy room for pupils not reciting as well as being a general assembly room for the entire school and an auditorium for ion of the stage and the entrance on the west side just opposite the principal’s office. Mounting a third flight of stairs we find ourselves surrounded by laboratories and the rooms of the commercial department, the physical, chemical and biological laboratories are on the north side of the corridor. The The Stage holding entertainments. The Forum holds its meetings here. With the addition of chairs it can seat from seven to eight hundred. It is beautifully lighted by both gas and electricity and its walls are adorned with appropriate paintings and statuary. The accompanying cut shows a port- bookkeeping', stenography, and typewriting rooms are on the south side, while planted midway in the corridor, blocking its passage, is the science, lecture and demonstration room. All of the rooms are splendidly equipped and the work done in these departments is of a high order.

The Nautilus 35 “Since at creation’s dawn, the morning stars sang together, mutic has entered into the life of gods and men alike, of divine accomplishments the most human, of human the most divine.” It has long- been demonstrated that humanity in general has a deep interest in music and is not content to get along without it. To this the people of Jacksonvi.le have proved no exception. The time was when music was looked upon as an accomplishment for ihe leisure part of life, but the people to-day recognize it as a power in real active life that wields an influence for right living. Music in the public schools of Jacksonville has advanced steadily from year to year and has become a strong factor in the High School work. The past year an additional impetus was given to High School music by the chorus work done by the entire school of nearly four hundred. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings of each week, under the direction of Miss Goodrick, the chorus has studied works from the great masters, oratorios and standard music of the day. This proved to be one of the most successful new features of the year. Glee and Treble Clef Clubs “We’re met for a concert of modern invention To tickle the ear is our present intention.” [Motto of the clubs] In the fall of 1902, out of a musical chaos, evolved two musical organizations which have been important factors in the life of the school ever since. The Glee Club was the first to take form and was composed of sixteen of the boys of the school. Their success emboldened the girls to show their ability along this line and, as a result, in a few weeks the Treble Clef Club was organized. Work was not only done by the clubs individually but by combining them a great deal of chorus work was able to be done. They have assisted in all of the regular school work, meetings of the Forum, State conventions, Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. The Treble Clef Club is perhaps the strongest of the musical organizations. Mrs. Constance B. Smith was the first director, but she resigned the year following its organization. Miss Ailsie E. Goodrick was then chosen director to fill Mrs. Smith’s place, and she has served most acceptably ever since. When first organized, the club was composed of sixteen girls, but the number has since been increased to twenty’. Under Miss Goodrick’s leadership the Treble Clef Club has developed until it has become one of the best of its kind to be found anywhere among the 36 The Nautilus public schools of the state. They have sung at different meetings of the Forum, and several special occasions of the school during the year. They also furnished music at the Illinois Central Teacher’s Convention held in this city in March and at the Commencement exercises, for which they received much praise. The Glee Club is an organization similar to the Treble Clef Club both in its work and results. There are sixteen in the club, all members of the High School. Like the Treble Clef Club they haveappeared in concert at the different school meetings of the year, Forum, State Convention, and Commencement. The Orchestra The Orchestra, like the Treble Clef and Glee clubs, was brought forth in the year nineteen hundred and two under the leadership of J. Howard Brown, the orchestra deve- loped into a permanent organization of the school. Mr. Brown is now manager of the Illinois Conservatory' of Music. In nineteen hundred and three Fred W. Goodrich was chosen director. He also contributed a large share to the success of the orchestra and is now director of the Goodrich Osborne Orchestra of this city. The next leader chosen was Miss Hazel Brown, who is now one of the first violinists in the conservatory orchestra. In nineteen hundred and five Buford Hayden was made leader. He is now a member of the Jeffries Concert Band. In the fall of nineteen hundred six, after many difficulties, the remaining members of the orchestra succeeded in gaining a sufficient number to reorganize and choose Herbert Colton director. They were faithful in their work and have furnished music at several meetings of the Forum and at the Western Illinois High School League declamatory contest.

The Literary department of any school is the organ of finished expression, the real estimate of the school. In looking over the work done by our society, we find that we have had a successful year in all respects. We have carefully kept in mind and carried out the object of our organization: 1—To advance the members socially and intellectually. 2— To cause them to become acquainted with parliamentary practice. 3— To develope literary talent in our school; to bring out the arts and graces which give effect in oratory. At the beginning of the year an important and much needed department of public speaking was organized. n This organization comprised the whole student body and was divided into ten sections. Each section elected five officers namely: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and critic. These in connection with a permanent program committee and an appointed teacher directed and carried on the work of their respective sections. Although we were full of hopes and predicted a bright future for our new organization at the beginning of the year, yet we never thought that it would prove to be what it has been in the past year. The work of this organization has been so closely associated with the regular English work that every student entered upon it as though it were a part of the class room work, and, indeed, to a certain extent it was. The work done in each department of the High School came in for its share of the time in the sectional meetings. During the year a number of experiments which were performed in the chemical laboratory were brought before and explained to the various sections. The domestic science and manual training departments also furnished a number of demonstrations for the different programs throughout the year. The English work, too, had its p’ace on each program. Besides giving the students the opportunity of working out for themselves what they had gathered in the class room and thereby enlarging their knowledge of the subject, this new department also gives that drill in public speaking w'hich is so essential to every American boy and girl At the beginning of the year almost three fourths of the students of this school did not be- 40 The Nautilus long- to the literary society and so had had no practice in speaking before the public. In the department of public speaking, however, every member of of the school has appeared on the program of the different sections at least twice during the year. Parliamentary practice has also been carried on in some sections and has proven to be helpful and interesting. Io one section a mock trial was held. Thus we see every department of the school has been represented in our sectional meetings, making our department of public speaking of two fold value in that it has all the benefits of a literary society linked directly with the class room work Not withstanding the great interest which has been taken in the department of public speaking, the Forum Literary Society has also had its share of attention and has closed one of the most successful years in its history. Owing to the organization of the regular school work at the beginning of the year, the Forum was somewhat late in organizing. The first program was rendered on Thanksgiving night and it was at once evident that this society had undergone a change and that it had started out with a greater literary excellence than ever before. The programs were held monthly during the year and each one was characterized by that spirit of enthusiasm and ambition which makes any society a success. Good order prevailed at every meeting throughout the year and this together with the energetic officers and willing members made this a red letter year in the history of the Forum. In January the monthly program was suspended and the preliminary debate was held for the purpose of selecting a high school debating team. In this debate the good results of the Forum were clearly seen. Each debater was a member of this society and showed the excellent training which he had received from it. It was very difficult to decide upon the team. So close was the contest that the three who had been defeated were chosen as the debating team for the Senior class. But it was on February 22 that the greatest literary achievement of the year was accomplished. This was the victory which our debaters won over Springfield. In this debate, again, the excellent work of our literary organizations was brought before the public. Although our debators had never worked together before and had had no experience in debating with other teams, they got down to good hard work, and in a quiet but convincing manner won a unanimous decision over the Springfield team. It is in these interscholastic contests that we are able to measure ourselves with our neighboring high schools, and certainly we have no reason to be ashamed of our showing, for we have been up to the standard in our literary work throughout the whole year. The inter class debates have also formed an important part of our literary work. During the year there have been two such debates, the Junior-Senior, and the Freshman-So- The Nautilus 41 FRANCES ENGLISH Declaimer ETHEL KIMBEL Orator 42 The Nautilus phomore. Both aroused much interest and enthusiasm among- the students and developed first-class material. This, a fact which goes without proving, especially to those who had the pleasure of attending the interscholastic debate and seeing the rare ease with which our debaters carried off the laurels. Although the members of our debating team, this year, were all from the Senior class, we feel confident that by these inter-class debates, there has been ample material developed to furnish the high school another victorious team next year. In February it was announced that all those wishing to enter the State Oratorical Contest must hand in their orations by March 1. There were four orations handed to the three judges who were chosen from Illinois and Womans colleges. These were graded on the thought and composition. “Robert Burns” written by Ethel Kimbel received the highest mark, and so was delivered at the district convention held at Bushnell. Miss Kimbel failed to get a place and so could not enter the state contest at Champaign. Although she was unsuccessful, nevertheless we feel sure that should she have received a place, she would have competed favorably with the other contestants. Her oration was spoken of highly by both the best critics of this city, and by those who heard it at Bushnell. In view of Miss Kimbel’s success last year, it is to be regretted that she could not speak at Champaign. The annual preliminary declamation contest was held in April under the auspices of the Forum literary society. There were five declaimers and each showed much training and ability. The decision was very close and it was after much discussion that the judges finally awarded first place to Miss Frances English. Her selection was, “What Came to Dillie’s House.’’ The second place was given to Miss Pauline VanHouten whose selection was, “The Tears of Tullia.” The successful contestant was to represent our high school in the W. I. H. S. L. contest. This was held at the Grand Opera House, May 3, beginning at 8 o’clock. As usual the house was filled to overflowing with friends and rooters of the various schools who had gathered to cheer their representatives to victory. Miss English, our declaimer, opened the contest and was given second place. Although she spoke first on the program, her selection was given in such eloquent manner that everyone felt confident that she had won a place. This victory closed one of the most successful literary years in the history of our high school. The interest in literary affairs is growing steadily, and our success in the past year has added a new stimulus to the work. The support of the faculty and public ba§ contributed to our success, and the society has a bright prospect for the future. The Nautilus 43 The high school year 1906 1907 is finished, and it may well be said that while great things have been accomplished along the lines of declamatory, debating and literary work in general, success has also been achieved in athletics. On the foot ball gridiron we made an excellent record. From a squadof inexperienced players, under the able coaching of our former full back, Carl Richards, we finished the season with a team that compared favorably with every team we played, winning games from Pittsfield, Whipple Academy, Carrollton, and Spring-field. 104 points we scored compared with 79 points scored against us. Aside from this, considering the weight and experience of the opposing teams, it can be justly said that the foot ball team was one of which old J. H. S. might well be proud. Our boys basket ball team was not below the standard in the least. We defeated every outside team we played, tied for first.place in the city league with Illinois College, and won the pennant for second place in the same league. Again comparing the experience and training facilities of our team with those of other teams we are convinced that our team would be a credit to any school in the state. Not a quarrel or dissension during the season, not a player “sore,” but two defeats (and those by a college,) five victories over older and more experience-ed teams than itself, is an enviable record for any high school basket ball team. Although our track team did not capture the pennant in the W. I. H. S. L. meet it did show that by hard work the material now in old J. H. S. could win the meet next year. And now concerning the spirit in our athletics; the spirit this year was better than ever before, and it was the right kind of loyalty, no element of rowdyism was present. The students were determined to have a square deal, but were just as determined to give a square deal to their opponents. More students went to the contests and better support was given to the teams than ever before. It means something to a team, foot ball, debating, or basket ball to have 150 or 200 students cheering them, and to know that the school is behind them giving them its best support 44 The Nautilus DeMOTT GATES ROBERT WAIT The Nautilus 45 through defeat and through victory. The school spirit this year has been of the kind that does not despair in the face of defeat, but buckles down to stiff work and determines to win and to win fairly. With that kind of spirit and loyalty in old J. H. S., with the student body and the faculty working hand in hand for the dear old school, with the determination of every member to support every organization, the honor of the “Red and White” will never fall below the high standard of the past TRACK MEET SCORES PITTSFIELD 35 PETERSBURG 29 ASHLAND 23 JACKSONVILLE 15 WINCHESTER 13 RUSHVILLE 10 VIRGINIA 1 BEARDSTOWN 0 Friday, May 2, was the date of the Western Illinois High School League track meet and declamatory contest and over 1,000 visitors were here from the towns of Pittsfield, Rushville, Beardstown, Virginia, Ashland, Petersburg, and Winchester. It was a cold, gray day and about 2 o’clock a drizzling rain set in which proved a great drawback to the meet, notwithstanding the fact that perseverance won the day and the. events were run off. Had it not been for the excellent athletic field on college hill, with the wide cinder track, the meet would necessarilybeen postponed, as the field was neccesarily too slippery. The ardor of the rooters who accompanied their respective teams was not to be overcome and their was a good crowd of spectators who watched the the events to the last. The victory went to Pittsfield after a sharply contested struggle. The best of feeling prevailed throughout the day, and although the rain interfered with the pleasure of the meet, it showed what what could be done under difficulties. Although Old J. H. S. did not win the meet to any one present on the field it was evident that the records made by the different schools did not tell the entire story of the contest. The Jacksonville athletes made a very good showing on the field and considering their inexperience the prospects for next year are very excellent. It will take hard work— good, honest, grinding work. But if the supportersofthe“Red and White” will get down to business and train faithfully we have a fine chance, not only to make a good showing, but to win the meet.

The school year of ’06-’o7 has now come to a close and the Commencement Number of the Nautilus is once more before the public. The staff, feeling that this has been more than a successful year in our history, has decided to put forth a review of our school and our school year’s work. The aim of the staff this year has not been to interest only the students but in addition to arouse and awaken the public to the fact that the high school plays a major part in the life of a community and in reality is “The College of the People.” This aim has been especially kept in mind in the first article of this issue. Here the work of the different departments of the school have been described and several cuts inserted to give an idea of the excellent equipments which our high school furnishes. We believe that such an article as this will not only interest the public but will also be influential in inducing many pupils from the rural schools to enter our high school the coming term. The staff has succeeded in securing a write-up of the offices each member of the graduating class has held dur-iug the four year’s course. It is believed that these accounts with the cut of each graduate will give an individuality to the paper, which could not otherwise be obtained. The literary, music and athletic reviews are very brief accounts of the achievements along those lines for the past year. These organizations are among the most important of our school and their showing this year, as described by the editors, has been excellent. We sincerely hope that a review of our success will inspire the underclassmen, and that they may even surpass our record next year. The Nautilus 51 The commencements of the high school and eighth grade, as usual occupy a large part of the paper. A full account of those most important events of school life are given. These graduating exercises make a fitting close for the year’s review and with their publication, we feel that we have carried out our original plan-to put faculty, for their many helpful suggestions; and the business men who have made this paper a possibility. We have now completed one year’s work and, although we have encountered many difficulties, we feel that the work of the staff has been a pleasure rather than a burden. The THE NAUTILUS STAFF forth a review of our school and its year’s work. As members of the staff, we feel that we have done our duty but we also acknowledge that our duty alone would not have made this paper a success. We wish to thank the student body for the willing support they have given us throughout the year; the Nautilus will always have our best wishes and hearty support. We sincerely hope that the efforts of next year’s staff will surpass our work and that each succeeding year the Nautilus may occupy a more and more important place in the student’s life of the Jacksonville high school. 52 The Nautilus REV.

The baccalaureate services of the graduating' class were held Sunday morning May, 2b, at the Central Christian Church. Rev. R. F. Thrapp preached the sermon, which was full of good advice for the graduates. The services were impressive throughout and enjoyed by every one present. The program was as follows: Processional, Holy, Holy,”—Dykes Senior Class Doxology. Invocation. Lord’s Prayer. “Gloria,” Mozart-High School Chorus Scripture Reading. Hymn 134—By the Congregation. Prayer. Contribution. Heavens are Telling,” Mendelssohn, High School Chorus. Sermon . . The Mystery of Life Rev. R. F. Thrapp Vocal Solo . . . Katherine Barr Benediction. Graduation Exercises The greatest event in high school life, toward which students and friends alike look forward with the keenest pleasure and enthusiasm, is the high school commencement. On each succeeding occasion special in- terest is manifested by the public, but Thursday evening May 30, at the thirty-fifth annual event of this kind, more than ordinary interest was displayed, judging from the immense gathering which appeared at the opera house, every seat being taken, while hundreds stood throughout the entire program, and many others were denied admission. Promptly at eight o’clock, to the strains of a march skillfully rendered by Edna Sheppard, the graduating class marched in and remained standing, while Rev. W. S. Phillips pronounced the invocation. The Bridal Chorus” by Cowen, was admirably sung by the Glee and Treble Clef clubs, under the efficient direction of Miss Good rick. Alice Mathis then came forward, and in a well chosen and fitting address, welcomed the vast audience to the commencement exercises of the class of 1907. The subject of her salutation was, The Spirit of Americanism.” Herbert Rucker then delivered a splendid oration entitled, George Rogers Clark,” in which he eulogized the nobility of the great hero’s character, and extolled the courage and unselfish devotion of the patriot to his country’s service. The themeof Della Gruenewald’s or- 54 The Nautilus ation was, “Dixie after the War.” In a graphic and vivid manner she pictured the awful suffering of the south after the war, and paid a high tribute to the bravery and courage of the conquered southerners. Irvin Potter then discussed the subject of Immigration in an eloquent and able manner. One of the most interesting numbers on the program, which was received with more than ordinary interest because it was out of the usual order, was the the discussion of “Wireless Telegraphy by Wilbur Sheppard. In an interesting and intelligent manner Mr. Sheppard de monstrated some of the uses of wireless telegraphy, with an appartus which he had, patterned after Marconi’s. He fired a small cannon, started and stopped a motor, and did many other interesting experiments which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The Glee club then sang two selections, the “Tinker’sSong” bv DeKarm and Greig’s “Fatherland” which were well received. Nellie Mendonsa followed with an oration, “The Choice of Hercules,” in which she represented Roosevelt as the Hercules of today, who has met and mastered the moral dangers which are assailing his couutrie’s liberties. Then in a strong and effective oration James Alexander discussed the “Imperial Policy of Japan.” In conclusion he said: The imperial policy of Japan is to awaken China,clothe her with western civilization, unite the yellow race, drive from China the land thieves of Europe and to reclaim, protect and defend the rightsof tbeyellow man and make him as he should be, the ruler of the east.” The Treble Clef club followed with the “Invitation Pollia” by Vender in a finished and excellent manner. The Iasi number on the program was the valedictory address by Bessie Hadden. The subject of her address was the “Modern High School.” In a clear and effective manner she traced the origin and development of this institution down to the present day and showed what a powerful factor it had become in the education of all classes. Following are a few of the thoughts presented: “The high school is the head and front of a great system of schools for the people. The modern high school has indeed gradually and steadily rendered the field of its work to adopt itself to the student’s needs, and now the spirit of civic progress is pointing to still newer development in the future. We of the class of 1907 now acknowledge with love and reverence a debt of gratitude to teachers, principal and officers. Under their efficient management our high school has grown to what it is, and as it enlarges its resources and elevates its standards, we feel that it will continue to grow in social possibilities, deepening and strengthening its relation to the life of the citizens.” Al the conclusion of the program Mr. J. W. Walton addressed the graduating class in well chosen and fitting remarks. He spoke of the excellent record of the class both in personal conduct and scholarship. After his brief remarks, as the notes of the music sounded, the members of the class marched from the stage receiving their diplomas as they filed past the chairman. The Nautilus 55 As the crowning event of our school year, and in order that we might enjoy one whole day together before we parted for the vacation, the pupils of J. H. S. and their friends met at Nichols Park on Tuesday, May 28, for their first annual field-day and picnic- For the first time too, the class day exercises were held at the park. Numerous athletic events had been arranged for the forenoon, the first of which was a baseball game between the Seniors and Freshmen on one side and the Juniors and Sophomores on the other. The game began about 10:30 with a large number of spectators present. The score at the end was 8 to 2 for the Junicrs and Sophs, although the battle was close until the eighth inning, when the winning team made five runs. The teams were as follows: Seniors and Freshmen Wait, c; Strandberg, p; Huffaker, 1 b; Alexander, 2 b; Bavington, s.s.; Daily, 3 b; Huntoon, r. f.; Glines, c. f. Wheeler, 1. f. Juniors and Sophomores Bancroft, c; Phillips, p; Spruitt, 1 b; Vasconcellos, 2 b; Merrill, s. s.; Widenham, 3 b.; Lewis, r. f.; G. Vasconcellos, c. f.; Obermeyer, 1. f.; substitutes:- Ross, Devlin, Woods, Hopper. By innings- 12345678 Senior-Freshmen 0 0002000 2 Juniors-Sophs 00100025 8 The relay race, which was scheduled for the next event, did not occur until after dinner. It was run on the gravel walk around the pavilion, which proved a very desirable race track, as it is level and smooth. The Sophs won first, the Juniors second, the Seniors third, and theFreshmen fourth. Those who ran were: Seniors; Wait, Glines, DeLeuw, Fay. Juniors; Vasconcellos, Killebrew, Alford, Lewis. Sophomores; Moxon, Brown, Widenham, Bancroft. Freshmen; Beauchamp, Waters, Russel, Shoemaker. Roy Strandberg was field day manager, and Mr. Meek starter. Besides the ball game and relay race, there were several impromptu races and games. The boating was an especially enjoyable feature of the day, and, with the exception of the noon hour the boats were busy on the lake. A steam launch was ready for the accommodation of those wha did not wish to row. At noon dinner was served in the pavilion in picnic style, with the seniors as guests of honor. A long table in the center held the various eatables, while the people were seated in chairs around it. A good supply of 56 The Nautilus competent waitresses kept everyone busy eating, and while the cool day and open air sharpened the appetites, there was plenty and some to spare-At the close of the feast Miss Sewall was introduced as toast-mistress, and very ably filled that difficult place The eight responses were well given, with a spicy story here and there. The program was as follows: The Last of the ’07’s, Susan Brown’08 At the Parting of the Ways Ruth Duncan ’09 How Big the Seniors Look- Wood Phillips ’10 Lost Atoms .... Miss Sewall A Senior’s Reward-Supt. W. A. Furr The Senior’s Future Prin. H. A. McGill Response . Louise Thompson ’07 Patriotism . Capt. Horace Chapin After a short interval, the-class day exercises began in the pavilion, with such a large audience present that many were compelled to stand during the entire program. The Seniors were seated in the orchestra gallery, which was beautifully decorated with smilax and the class colors of gold and white. The class president. Herbert Colton, presided, and after the piano solo skillfully rendered by Alice Mathis, gave his address. He mentioned many of the achievements of the class, and thanked the principal and faculty for their interest in the class of ’07. Then in behalf of the class, Mr. Colton presented Mr. McGill with a watch fob and Miss Cafky with an umbrella. Earl M. Johnston, the orator of the day, then delivered in a forceful manner a well written oration on “The Political Career of Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland. The class historian, Charles De Leuw, then read the extended account of the course of the class from its entrance to high school, and pranks and escapades, while class athletics and literary achievements were equally well pictured. Louise Thompson rendered two selections,- “The Wind is Awake,’’-Bartlett, and “The Japanese Maiden’’ -Gaynor, in an accomplished manner. The mantle orator was John C. Mullenix. He spoke in highly complimentary terms of the class of fifty, and what it had added to the dignity and good name of the school. It was with fear and trembling that he removed the cap and gown and placed them upon John Phillips of the Junior class, because of the seeming utter inability of the Juniors to maintain the dignity and responsibility which was decending upon them. Mr. Phillips’ response for the Juniors was witty and sarcastic, although he seemed to remember his responsible position. He did not hesitate to pick flaws in the glory of ’07, and accuse them of over estimating themselves. The class prophet of the day was Morgan Huntoon, but owing to an accident in the ball game, Mr. Huntoon was not present, and Mr. Frank M. Huffaker read an extended account of the future occupation of each member of the class. The writer had combined a vivid imag ination with humor in a most interesting manner. Antoinette Hight had been given the difficult task of writing the class The Nautilus 57 poem, and bad risen to the occasion with interesting' and forceful lines which showed her talent in that direction. The spicy little jokes about the class and the principal were well received by the listeners. The concluding number on the program was the class song, which was sung with vim and spirit characteristic of the class of ’07. The class day exercises, however did not conclude the day of pleasure, for although some left the grounds then, a large part of the crowd lingered about, boating and yachting until a late hour. When at last they reluctantly left the park, it was with the opinion that this had been the best and happiest day of all the year. Alumni The thirty-fifth annual reunion of the Jacksonville high school alumni association, and reception to the graduating class took place Friday evening, May 31, at the high school build-ing. The reception was held in the library with the members of the graduating class in the receiving line, after which all adjourned to the auditorium where an excellent program was rendered. County Superintendent H. C. Montgomery, president of the association, presided and introduced each speaker with appropriate remarks. After the invocation by Rev. T. H. Marsh, the high school quartette composed of Messrs, Mullenix, Colton, Phillips and Hartman, with Alice Mathis as accompanist, sang in a pleasing manner,“We Meet Again Tonight.” They were tendered a flattering applause to which they responded with “Stars of the Summer Night.” President Montgomery then delivered an address, in which in a few well chosen remarks, he warmly wel- Reunion CJ3 corned the class of 1907 into the association. Herbert Colton as president fo the class, responded briefly. “Sancta Maria” by J. Faure, was sung by Jessie Rottger with beautiful effect. Rev. W. S. Phillips, the first president of the alumni association indulged in some “High School Reminisen-ces,” which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. Miss Katherine Barr then sang very acceptably, “Who’ll Buy My Lavender” by German. Miss Brown very ably accompanied her. Principal H. A. McGill of the high school then spcke on, “New Secondary School Movements,” a subject of special interest at this time, which was greatly appreciated by all. The members of the alumni quart-tet, Rev. W. S. Phillips, T. H. Rapp, Dr. Goodrick and Marcus Robinson, appeared with a selection which they sang with such excellence, they were twice recalled. Superintendent W. A. Furr then spoke on “The Relation of the High 58 The Nautilus. School to the Community,” in a manner which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. “The Heart’s Springtime,” by Wickede, was sung in a faultless manner by Mrs. T. Harley Marsh, accompaniedby Miss Ruth Widenham. On account of the illness of Mayor John R. Davis, Mrs. James A. Parsons spoke in his stead on, “The High School Alumnus as a Citizen.” Her remarks were well received. Yielding to the enthusiastic demand of the audience, ihe alumni quartette responded with a lively number, which was enthusiasticly received. After the program the audience repaired to the first floor, where pretti ly decorated tables were in readiness in the main corridor. Light refresh- ments were served, which were greatly enjoyed by all, and soon afterward the guests departed, well pleased with the evenings entertainment. ALUMNI OFFICERS The business meeting of the alumni association was held at the high school Friday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and was well attended. Various committees were heard from, reports accepted, and other business matters were attended to. The election of officers was as follows: President, H. C. Montgomery. 1st Vice President, Rev. W. S. Phillips 2nd Vice President, Howard Brown. 3rd Vice President, Mrs. T. H. Marsh. Recording Sec’y, Miss Mabel Withee-Corresponding Sec’y, Miss Paxton. Treasurer, Paul Whitney. The Nautilus 59 The eighth grade annual commencement was held June 29, at the high school auditorium. A class ofseventy-four finished the work and received their certificates of promotion to the high school. This is not as large a class as has at other times graduated from this department, but Miss White, ihe principal has many nice things to say about them. She speaks of them as being very faithful and willing, lady and gentlemen like, happy, co-operative and regular in attendance. In room two and nine the pupils attended six consecutive months without a case of tardiness. Room two had but two cases during the entire year, which is an excellent record. The auditorium stage, was beautifully decorated for the occasion with potted and cutflowers, having a green and white effect. The speakers on the program were drilled in their rhetorical work by Misses Hayden and Balcke and those taking part in the music were drilled bv Misses Goodrick and Hammond. Principal Miss Laura White presided at the exercises. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. Ileidel, father of one of the honor pupils, and the benediction was said by Rev. Miller, father of one of the girl grad- Miss White, in a few appropriate and well chosen words, presented the class to Supt. W. A. Furr, who addressed them briefly and presented the certificates.
