A guardian “angel’’o’er his life presides. “Lil has always been a most worthy member of our class. WILLIAM ALLCOTT. ’.‘Care, to our coffin, adds a nail no doubt, and every grin so merry draws one out. We have often seen Bill, his face one substantial smile, lead the students in their cheering. He has been business manager for two years and it is said he even aspired to the principalship. EVA BAXTER—ALPHA DELTA. Very tall and most divinely fair. She does not waste time explaining but simply goes and does things in her own deliberate manner. Page Eight MARY S. BLACK—ALPHA DELTA. True to her work, her word and her friends. Her taste is as distinctive as her disposition for German and each is of the highest attainment. INNIS BASHFORD ALKIRE—FORUM. Reform and reform and more reform.

HARLOW W. BROWN—FORUM. “Still water runs deep.” Quietly but persistently in class room, on the debating s uad, in the Forum and on the stage, Harlow has pursued his career in high school, making a record of achievement in every place of which the class and the school is proud. DOROTHY A. CAMP—ALPHA BETA. Wise to resolve and patient to perform. As vice-president of the class and a loyal member of the Treble Clef and Alpha Beta, Dort’sstar has shown steadily thru the four years. R. CARTER CRAIN—FORUM. He came from Waverly. The’‘College Cinderella” made such a hit under his management that Carter thot he’d try J. H. S. himself and he has found it quite the place he expected, and we are glad to have him with us. ISABEL B. CARRIEL. Mild manners and a gentle heart, always loyal and true to 1913, no one will forget Isabel. P a it e Ten DOROTHY M. DANSKIN—ALPHA DELTA. A true daughter of the Revolution and showing the spirit of '76 by being always ready to do her part even when it may be disagreeable. CLARENCE M. CHIPCHASE. “And he is oft the wisest man who is not wise at all.’’ “Chippie” is one of those rare chaps who can work, go to school and look jolly, all at the same lime. JUDITH L. DAVIS—ALPHA BETA Good quality always comes in small packages. She is small but Judith makes up in ability in class and in school activities, more than she lacks in size. RAYMOND DAVIS—FORUM. A true devotee of his “jimmy pipe,” yet it seems possible that Ray will tear himself away long enough to make up those extra credits and graduate with us. MARGARET DeWITT. “They who are pleased themselves must always please. ’’ Page Eleven BAIRD GUNN. “In every deed of mischief he has a heart to resolve, a head to contrive and a hand to execute.’’ “Gunny’’ is an unusual combination of studiousness and fun.

One of the quiet members of the class that believes deeds, not words, count the most. VICTOR V. FARRIS—FORUM. “Don’t expect a stranger to saw your wood while you sit in the shade.” Vic has not worked his way thru the four years but is graduating with us. No more will he repose and dream sweet dreams in class. HOMER H. FURR—FORUM. Yes. Homer is going to finish school in four years. In his senior year he has taken quite a fancy to literary activities and as secretary of the Forum he is most imposing. Page Twelve BEULAH E. ERIXON—ALPHA GAMMA THETA. An artist, a cook, a seamstress and an all around efficient girl. What more would anyone want to be. Yet“Beece” has all of these and Clayt besides. EZRA HURWITZ—FORUM. A scholar and a gentleman. Ezra may have so-cialistics tendencies but his mild and gentle manner belies the anarchist. As a political speaker there is no doubt about his future. ANNA L. FLORETH. “Parson” has served well on the executive committee and her opinion, forcefully given, has cleared many a clouded situation. ABNER JACKSON—FORUM. “Chub” as a freshman was a roly-poly.

FRANKENBURG—ALPHA DELTA. “Oh you beautiful doll 1” A lady of perfection in daintiness and style, yet she is much interested in social problems and the horrors of Macbeth. Page Thirteen LETA B. GROVES. “Be good sweet maid and let who will be clever. ” WILLIAM W. K1TNER—FORUM. “Tea-kettle’’ has been a joy to his teachers and hands out advice to all who seek it. He proved himself a very valuable friend to the “Bull Moose’-candidate in the recent campaign. HELEN E. DOYING. A three year old (in high school). By much diligence and sisterly care Helen will graduate with 1913—for she is old for her years. JAMES R. KOLP. “Some are and must be greater than the rest.’’ Our worthy president! For two years Jimmy has been honored with the position of pilot for the class and in the execution of his duties has been most faithful. JOSEPHINE HASKELL. Her heart is true as steel. Page Fourteen ZELMA JACOBS—ALPHA DELTA. Demure and silent. More praise would she scorn. She always does the best she can and more can no one do. THOMAS HALE—FORUM. Striving upward, always higher and still taller, Tommy has made an excellent center in football and this year captains the basketball men. Not only outdoor sports but artistic work on the ‘ Nautilus” and “‘Crimson J” Staffs finds him useful. LUCILLE JOHNS—ALPHA DELTA. ‘‘Oh yes I know” and with that she is off. She can act like a professional tho she is really an amateur. Some say she is a flirt, but it’s only her fascinating way. FRANK MARKILLIE—FORUM. During the last year Frank has been “struck” but under the circumstances he is getting along nicely and if his condition remains the same he will be with us on commencement night. DOROTHY D. LECK—ALPHA GAMMA THETA. Whatever anyone does or says 1 must be good. Gentle sunshine where’er she goes. She does not have to primp or pose. Page Fifteen M. ADELAIDE McCARTY—ALPHA BETA. With a penchant for studies and politics, in classroom and class meeting, Adelaide plays a systematic game and rarely loses. ARTHUR MENDONSA—FORUM. “The mildest manner with the bravest mind.’’ “Art’ ’is quiet and unassuming but always an apt scholar and a loyal classmate. grace McLaughlin—alpha gamma theta. Gifted with a ready flow of words, “Mac’s” pen wields mighty articles and as a modern Portia she reigns supreme. GEORGE V. STALEY—FORUM. From Modesto, wherever that is. Always smiling tranquilly, tho clouds burst and storms break, George wends his way undisturbed. CLARA K. MEYER. Clara is a Meyer. Everyone knows what the Meyers have been in J. H. S. Not famous but always reliable—the kind that count. Page Sixteen RUTH MILLER—ALPHA BETA. Ruth is devoted to her studies and will some day be a famous teacher of history. Society work and other activities also claim her as a loyal booster. HAROLD A. McGINNIS—FORUM. “JACKSONVILLE,—a city in Illinois memorable as the birth place and early home of the famous statesman, orator and politician, Harold Patrick McGinnis.” (Copied from the Encyclopedia Ger-manica. 1990) “All great men are dying. I dont feel well myself.” ELSIE MOXON—ALPHA BETA. Another of the backbone of the class. Not a star but the light is there even if modesty doth hide it as under a bushel. HAROLD C. SMITH—FORUM. “A boy’s will is the wind's will.” Polly spent a year on his vacation and then came back to high school and has kept on with our class,for which we all give thanks. Ohl You great Jehosophat. ALMA WIEGAND—ALPHA BETA. Alma made her advent into high school via the eighth grade. As a brilliant student in German, she has made a record for the class. Page Seventeen ALMA RUTH PEAK. Of course you know Ruth from the picture. Can’t you see the good humor and genial smile that characterize her as one of the landmarks of the class? CLAYTON STEWART—FORUM. • ‘Clayt’ ’ has never forgotten that he is in school for a purpose. In fact he never allows his studies to interfere with his regular high school course. As football captain he has represented the class well in athletics. MARGARET E. RICHARDS—ALPHA BETA Margaret says there is nothing to say about her. Lucky the person who can truly say—‘ I have been blameless —and Margaret can. If 1913 should lose her it would be a loss indeed. LLOYD W. REYNOLDS. ‘‘Cheer up it may not be true. Such staunch friends as “Slim and “Bill, none, not even the faculty, should put assunder. NORMA PERBIX—ALPHA BETA. Norma aspires to be a historian. Her work will go down as famous and her name will long be remembered by her classmates. Page Eighteen MYRTLE SCHELL—ALPHA DELTA Myrtle doesn’t have to make all those credits to graduate. She is doing it just to have something to do. CHARLES E. WOLKE. For what is not rogue, is fool. Over exertion is not one of Charlie’s weak points but his broad smile and cheery good nature make him everybody’s friend. IRENE B. SPEARS—ALPHA GAMMA THETA. Cheerful and happy,singing her way along,Irene has been constantly in the spotlight. Musical comedy or chapel choir find her always self reliant and never at a loss. LAWRENCE WEAVER. Retiring and modest as a girl, Lawrence attends strictly to his own business and does his duty. L. FORRESTINE SMITH—ALPHA BETA. Forrestine is of a studious turn of mind and class work never finds her lacking. Page Nineteen LEILA F. STRUCK—ALPIIA GAMMA THETA. No one ever saw Leila'1 fussed” even when she was cooking. Cool and collected at all times, whether on the stage, the platform or presiding over the eats,” one cannot help being struck” by this fair maid of 1913. CLIFFORD WOOD. His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.” Silent as a cliff, peacefully he wends his way saying nothing. I. MARIE THOMPSON—ALPHA GAMMA THETA. Marie is our secretary. She performs her duties well and tho a part of her heart may not be in J. H. S. her devotion to 1913 overbalances that fact. E. HELEN WHEELER—ALPHA GAMMA THETA Yes, we all know Helen. Always a friend, her friends are countless, her admirers many and her enemies few. OLLIE WEATHERFORD—ALPHA BETA. Ollie carrys her studies successfully, enjoys her literary society work and watches all school affairs with an eagle eye. Page Twenty WEIR WOOD. Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed to be simple is to be great. Honest Abe extends charity and reserves the malice for himself.

As the humble servants of the class which we represent, we have performed our task to the best of our ability and have endeavored to put out a book which will fulfill the highest expectations of our subscribers. In compiling this volume it has been our purpose to make it. not only a passing source of amusement, but a lasting memorium of the happy days spent at J. H. S. If. in years to come, this volume will recall to your mind happy memories and forgotten faces of your high school days and keep alive in you a spirit of loyalty and patriotism for your Alma Mater, then the “Crimson J” of 1913 will have fulfilled its mission and the ambitions of its editors will have been realized. If this volume does receive your approval, as we hope it will, we would have you bear in mind that its success is due not to the editorial staff or to the business managers but rather to the class of 1913 of Jacksonville High School. This is their book from beginning to end and from every standpoint and it is their hearty cooperation and loyal support which have determined its worth. Also, at this time, we wish to exprss.in behalf of the class, our appreciation and gratitude for the invaluable cooperation of our class officer, Mr. Bate, in the compiling of this volume. Perhaps only the staff realizes to what extent the success of our enterprise is due to his aid and untiring efforts in our behalf. Our dedication of this volume to him can express, in only a very small way. our appreciation of the service which he has rendered to the class of 1913. 1—Everybody begins new month with perfect recitations ??? 4— Strayed or lost—Opportunity to play the piano.

WE WONDER WHY OR HOW OR WHEN- CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS. Page Thirty Three A Solemn Occasion It was a very solemn occasion. As the sun was slowly lowering in the west, the peacock across the lake pealed forth a dismal song of mourning. Even the monkeys in their cages seemed to realize the seriousness of the occasion and. as a mark of respect to their grieving kinsmen across the lake, they ceased their incessant chattering and bowed their heads in solemn reverence. About a long table on the eastern bank of beautiful Morgan Lake were assembled the unhappy objects of our sympathy. But why all of those solemn looks upon faces that had known nothing but smiles and sunshine throughout the entire year? After financing the annual of 1912. putting the treasury of the students association on a sound basis, producing two of the best plays ever seen in J. H. S.—why. after all these triumphs, should'4 Bull” and 4'01af.”‘‘Bugs, “Sister” and the”Twins.” ‘‘Shorty” and all the rest of the rabble, look so solemn? Well may you ask. for thereby hangs a tale. It was a very solemn occasion for this crowd was there, not to praise the Triangle Club but to bury it. They were not there to remember the happy hours of hard work in practice, the trip to Waverly or the many banquets of the year. They were not there to think of what had been. Nay. they had come to lay in its last resting place.this child of fame. For four long weeks this dreaded event had been foreseen but day after day it had been warded off by faithful friends and followers of the triangle. At last, however, the inevitable was at hand and must be squarely met. The Board had returned the verdict and the sentence was death. Therefore were they solemn and sad. The Seniors because they could not leave for the coming years, that for which they had striven. The Juniors because they thot of the dismal darkness in the year to come without this child of happiness and good. So with solemn thots and eyes filled with tears, the motion to kill was passed and, with leaden hearts, the members put forth from this world forever the Triangle Club. Then indeed was it a solemn occasion but— “We bear it calmly, though a ponderous woe. And still adore the hand that gives the blow. ’ ’ Page Thirty-four yClv. (Bore Excerpt; from Mr. Nichols revised edition of “The Raven.” Once upon an evening dreary As I floundered bored and weary Over many a well thumbed volume That I'd hated long before; As I nodded, really napping, Suddenly. I heard a tapping Only that and nothing more. Silent through the keyhole peering Long I stood there, wondering, fearing. Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal Ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken And the keyhole gave no token Not a word did I hear spoken As I stood beside the door: Only darkness, only silence, Only that and nothing more. In there stalked a stately creature Looked as if he were a preacher. Or he might have been a teacher. Every lineament and feature Like the ones I’d seen before: Very mild obeisance made he Then a moment stopped and stayed he And with mien of lord or lady Took a seat beside the door; Took my easy chair most coolly, Then he sat and nothing more With his eyes upon the floor. Then my visitor beguiling My sad fancy into smiling By the kind polite demeanor Of the countenance he bore; ‘‘Sir,” said I, “you're neatly shaven,” Surely you are not a craven With a heart as black as raven Knocking at my chamber door; Tell me what your name is, please sir ’ And he answerd: “Mr. Gore.” And that teacher never flitting Still is sitting, still is sitting On the easy chair beside me With his feet upon the floor. And my soul from out the shadow That lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted nevermore. For I often munch a cooky Thinking how I may play hooky But with his severest look. He says. ‘Don’t fool with Mr. Gore.” And my spirit always tells me When I deal with Mr. Gore I’ll play hooky nevermore. Our ytdw HE most important event of Othis school year has been the change of principals which was effected in November 1912. It has been the fortune of the class of 1913 to pursue its high school career under the administration of three principals. During the first semester of 1909-10. Mr. Wilkinson was principal of the high school. In February 1910. Mr. Wilkinson resigned to go into business and R. 0. Stoops succeeded to his position in our school. Mr. Stoops continued as principal of the school until November 1. 1912. During his administration, the school flourished in every department and student activities achieved a high point. Sincere regret was felt on the part of the school when Mr. Stoops determined to leave J. H- S- to take up the duties of Superintendent of Schools at Joliet. Illinois. Sincere as the regret was- the loss of Principal Stoops was soon dispelled by the advent of the new principal, Mr. W. A. Gore. From the moment of his first appearance on the platform- Mr. Gore has had the support of the students and faculty. IQs still early to recount the praises of the new principal but predictions can best be made from what has happened in the past. Mr. Gore is a man whose whole heart and soul enters into the project at hand. Consequently he gets results. Less than a week was sufficient to feel the effects of his hand on discipline. No longer may we come tardy and neglect to report that fact. The old chapel and general assembly had degenerated into a time-killing procedure- Mr. Gore conceived a change and a general assembly each morning after recess has proven a profitable and pleasant change. Too much time was being taken by four assembles each day. By abandoning all except the one, we are saving at least a quarter of an hour each school session. Page Thirty-six Another change of the new administration has been library privileges. When the study hall grows dull, no longer may the sophomores spend a pleasant hour at the P. L with magazines and novels, under cover of getting an English assignment. Gore’s High School Band promises to be a real band and the debaters have also found a new friend in W. A. G. W. A. Gore is an energetic man. You may find him any place about the building, in the attic or the basement, or perhaps down town. Every student finds him a friend and he finds a friend in every student. Decency is the Gore motto. Be decent and be human. No better principles exist for a high school. Though it is a hard matter to tell how long such a man as W. A. Gore will continue to be principal of J. H. S., it may surely be predicted that the Gore administration will be a success. The class of 1913 is glad to have graduated under Principal Gore and the “Crimson J” extends the best wishes for happiness, success, and prosperity to our friend and principal— the Honorable W. A. G. THE ALPHA BETA GIRL'S NEW PIN.—Heard in the Corridor. ‘‘Ohsay. Did you get to see our pins? Well here it is and aint it a beauty? I think it beats the others all to pieces and besides the man said that this was the latest design. What? you don’t like the colors? Why, they are our society colors. None of the other society pins have the colors on either. Looks like a church society pin? Well you are welcome to your opinion of course but a lot of the girls in the other societies said that they were prettier than their pins. Who said so? Oh I don’t want to tell that but they did. And anyway we like them and we have to wear them—you don’t. Well if the white gets dirty we can wash it. That L. S. stands for literary society. Oh you did think it had something to do with lemon sour. Well I guess that those letters are better than any Greek letters that you can’t even guess at- Yes, they cost only seventy-five cents too. Oh never mind, I don’t care to hear what she said about it. I know that ours are the prettiest and the rest are sore because we have better ones than they have. Well I must go now. We have a very important meeting this noon. No, none of the boys can wear them”. WHY WE HAVE THEM. Thuse Meetings—So classes will be shorter. Nautilus Contest—So the eighth grade can win five dollars. Half Holidays—To make up for sleep lost the night before. Tuesday Talks—So we can prepare for the third period recitations. Page Thirty-eight O ox of 5tlatd)os When ’twas hearts Irene would Killara When ’twas clubs, then Leonard Wood. “Two hearts with but a single thought. Two heads that meet as one.’’ “Cheer up Mary, don’t be sighing, Walton's coming by-and-by.’’ Some matches are made in heaven. These weren’t. James doesn’t smoke, but he likes “Pyatt’s Bess(t).’’ “Vale of Beulah. Thou art precious to me’ Clayton’s Morning hymn. It is rumored that this match will soon be lighted. Please don’t blow it out. Matches to be careful with— The heads fly. Page T-h i r t y - s e v e n School AcTiviTiES kid.

This production was chosen for the senior play and is one that fully justifies its selection. It is a comedy-drama in four acts, well suited to production by high school talent and full of action and happy incidents that go to make up a well balanced play. The scene of “The Rose of Eden” is an American city. The plot hinges about a famous jewel—“The Rose of Eden,” which is owned by the heiress. Miss Croninshield. James Gregory. President of the Stability Insurance Company, and the father of the charming Clara, the pretty Imogene, and the boy Willie, has been threatened with destruction by his business enemies. Miss Croninshield holds the key to the situation and though willing to save the situation is dominated by her sister, Mrs. Twells, who wishes to revenge herself on Gregory, who does not return her affections. Incidentally Clara falls in love with Paul Smetana, a man of noble birth, but living incognito because of his rascal brother, Baron von Strelitz. The situations in the play change rapidly and after many complications, everything is straightened out and a very happy ending is reached. Harlow Brown made an excellent James Gregory and Leila Struck assumed the role of Clara in a pleasing manner. Irene Spears as Miss Croninshield, and Homer Furr as Paul, with Judith Davis as Mrs. Twells, did themselves great justice as did the other leading characters. In fact, much merit could be mentioned for everyone of the cast, but lack of space prohibits. The play was staged in the high school auditorium and once more the limited equipment of the school made plain the great advantages that will be gained by the completion of the long expected new building. Fortunately, “The Rose of Eden,” could be comfortably staged on a small platform and necessitated few changes of scenery and was effectively produced behind our own footlights. Miss Amanda Kidder of the Department of Expression, Illinois Woman’s College, acted as trainer for the cast. Miss Kidder won her way into the hearts of the cast and her work was as thoroughly good as her interest was keen, and great credit for the performance should be given her. The cast of the play was as follows: James Gregory....... Imogene Gregory...... Clara Gregory........ Willie Gregory....... Mrs. Twells.......... Miss Croninshield. . . . David Croninshield . . . Eunice Dare.......... Jane Salmon........ Marquis of Limmington Baron von Strelitz. . . . Paul Smetana......... Waiter............... Police Officer....... . . . Harlow Brown . . . .

That Bill Allcott is some manager believe me. But of course you know all about Bill. You don't? Well, I’ll tell you then. Bill is a born manager. They say that even before he could walk he began to manage his parents. After Bill got through the lower grades and began to go to school over at the high school building, all the surplus energy that the rigorous discipline of the grade teachers had kept bottled up, began to come out in the form of enthusiasm. As an enthusiast the high school has never known Bill's equal. No matter what may be the matter in hand, Bill can become enthused and the more that Bill becomes enthused, the greater the amount of enthusiasm that Bill lets out. In his earlier high school days some people said that Bill was wild and crazy, but we know that it was only that wonderful enthusiasm of his, bursting out of its bounds. This enthusiastic William continued to thuse spasmodically upon all occasions until the advent of his Junior year. When the student body was without a yell leader, Bill was naturally picked for the place. No better choice could have been made, and Bill began to let out that special brand of Allcott enthusiasm that never fails to bring results. No position by virtue of its duties needs more untiring enthusiasm than that of a manager. How natural also then, that Bill should be made our student manager. By the time that William came to fill that position he was recognized as the greatest and most enthusiastic little enthusiast that ever enthused his enthusiasm across the study hall. Bill kept his enthusiasm and developed in addition managerial sagacity. As experience ripened him and his capacity grew, one by one the management of all the student activities has been annexed by Bill. We now call him our general manager. Even Mr. Buland consults Bill as to what ought to be done and that alone is proof that Bill is some manager. The Nautilus also claims him as its business head. As a member of the executive committee he helps to manage the senior class. You can always find Bill in the box office or somewhere around the place attending to several of the matters that are incidental to his position. No one knows when Bill sleeps for he is on the job at all hours. Through it all he smiles and is good natured for he is the most enthusiastic manager and the best managing enthusiast that ever enthusiastically managed the enthusiasm of the enthusiastic or otherwise student body. There was a young man called Bill Whom no amount of work could kill In the manager’s chair He is certainly there For manager no one beats Bill. FOOTBALL TEAM Johnson...............................
