THE CRIMSON J Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steely But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new hatch'd, unfiedged comrade. -Shakespeare. Oh what is life without a friend To dissipate our gloom? A path where naught but briars grow Where flowers never bloom 'Tis friends who make this desert world To blossom as a roseg Strew flowers on our rugged path Sow sunshine on our woes. True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice. -J ohnson.

Our Pilgrimage Through As we tread the wilderness of this old world, we are wont to dream. Somtimes our visions are but mere fancies, but again they have a deeper significance. As children, we dreamed dreams of our high school career and of the happy care-free life we should enjoy. All seemed but a glorious sunset of our school life and we saw no clouds in the distant horizon. ' As a band of pilgrims with happy hearts we first enter- ed the portals of dear old J. H. S. on a memorable day in Sep- tember in the year of our Lord 1912. We stayed our steps for a moment to look about us. Behind us lay a long rugg- ed path but before us we pictured a pathway of flowers, and our joys knew no bounds. But alas, it was only a few days until a tiny cloud appeared in our beautiful blue sky. For we must select a certain course of study before really start- ing on our new pilgrimage. But after all, it was'nt such a hard task for Evangelist Stoops gave us comforting words THE CRIMSON J and helped us to climb over the walls of Difficulty. Our first task suggested others and so we began to think, and Wonder whether we would not need some one to help us now and then in the four years pilgrimage we were undertaking. Just as we were pondering on this selection, a happy looking pilgrim met us and we called her Faith. She wanted to help us and lead us through the tedious passes of which we were not aware. So this pilgrim Faith, known as Miss Anna Day, pointed out to us a beautiful pathway to fair place, known as the Promised Land of graduation. With the wise counsel of Faith and the advice of Mr. Evangelist, we start- ed on our journey. But the clouds grew darker and o'er shadowed the clear heavens more and more. Still, we were a courageous band and tried to cast off our burdens. In at- tempting to solve the difficult problem set us by our elders and in endeavoring to live up to their dictates we in time, fell into the slough of despondency. We sank deeper and deeper into the mire and could only wonder at the outcome when Dick Reynolds, our guide, and Mr. Money Keeper, Paul Wells, came to us and we were somewhat relieved by their wise policies. On we marched, profiting by the suggestions of our worthy helpers, the faculty and advisors. Then we looked and behold, the clouds were rolled away from the hor- izon. And suddenly, the sky was clear, for a messenger stopped us by the wayside and handed us a scroll whereon was written a summons. There was to be a big gathering of all our pilgrims, designed to rest our fatigued minds and weary hearts. So on the beautiful night set, we gathered at the Wells homestead. Such frolic and light heartedness soothed our discouraged souls and we were all only too sorry when the hour for departure drew nigh. Still we knew we must not tarry long so we again resumed our journey. Now, it so happened that we met on our way a Worldly, Wise man who advised us to keep up our spirits and seek yonder village of the Sophomores. For there, he said, we would be eased of our burdens. We pursued his wise course, and after crossing the hills of Discouragement and Patience and the Stream of Promotion, we arrived at the long sought for place in the fall of 1913. And again, we tried to cast THE CRIMSON J off our burdens but they seemed only heavier and we almost regretted having accepted Mr. Worldly Wise man's advice. But just in the midst of our discouragement, Faith again came to us and with Mr. Money Keeper, who was Paul Wells, now as guide and our new Mr. Money Keeper, Leonard I. Wood, we overcame some of our difficulties and a new way was pointed out to us. Then after days and weeks of un- ceasing toil and travel, We looked and looked but could still see no sign of our destined gate. Many times we were temp- ted by perplexing probleems and unfavorable acquaintances to turn from our way, but there was ever the voice of Faith and our Evangelist, who bade us persevere and not linger by the wayside. But we grew weary and could see no end to our trials. Our load grew heavier but we traveled on. Then one day, for the second time, we were stopped by a pilgrim known as Pleasure, and accompanying him was Hope. These two told us of a place which we would soon come to, known as the House Beautiful and bade us to linger there if only for a few idle hours. Again the sky was cloudless and we quickened our footsteps, and ere long We reached this won- derful place, where'Pauline McMurphy dwelled. Here we stopped and were charmed by beautiful music and led into joyous pastime. So we had truly been guided by Pleasure and Hope to a wonderful place. After so much merriment, We again set forth upon our pilgrimage. We came to a very solitary and empty place known as the Valley of Humiliation. This is a valley that nobody walks in but those who love a pilgrim's life. It was a place free from the noise and hurrying of life and we en- joyed the solitude and peaceful silence of it. But we only passed through this valley, for beyond we had been told lay still fairer places, where we could linger longer. Once more we went forth with renewed hope. and wandered along leisurely for many days. Away in the distance, we could discern three pilgrims climbing over a steep hill. We hasten- ed our pace to catch up with them. But alas, it was but a sad disappointment, for one was the pilgrim Envy, one was Superstition and the other, Vanity. They discouraged THE CRIMSON J us. Envy tried to persuade us to turn back for he said that before us lay a long weary journey. We did not heed these warnings but pushed on straight ahead, ever hoping to reach that fair land of graduation. Then we seemed to be enter- ing a very narrow passage. We espied nothing but diflicult places to cross, for we were now ready to leave our fair vil- lage of the Sophomores. The sun set many days without our ever noticing its beauty, but on and on we trudged. One day we were told that in a short time we would arrive at a place known as J uniorville. In this fair place, Peace dwell- ed and here we could cast our burdens aside. Now we were truly a happy band and it seemed but a short interval of time until we arrived at the gate of the village. Just as we were crossing the last mountain a very brisk looking pilgrim came up to us and we asked him his name. I am Ignorance , said he. Then he told us that we had just passed through the country of Conceit and bade us be less vain from now on. So with his advice and his wishes for God speed, on we went. At first we were quite bewildered in Juniorville for everything was so entirely different from our usual routine of travel. Just then Evangelist Collins met us and advis- ed us just how it would be best to travel through this place. We also thought that we would need a good guide through these tedious passways so we selected as guide, Frank Mer- rill, and Helen Struck as Money Keeper. Grown wiser from our two years experiences, we again started forth. We had not gone very far until a very bad pilgrim stopped us and gave us a key called Promise, which he informed us would open any lock in Doubting Castle. We expressed our joy at meeting this pilgrim, Coach Buland, and decided to have him accompany us on the rest of our pilgrimage. For he, too, could perhaps help us out of more narrow channels. And Faith remained faithful. She help- ed to guide us on until we met our old friend, Pleasure, again but this time he was with another pilgrim, Talkativeness. We were all very glad to see Pleasure, but did not care for his companion, Talkativeness, at first. But later, when he THE CRIMSON J handed us a roll and we found out that we were to have an- other Home Coming of all our pilgrims, we were overjoyed. Then we were all anxious to reach this quaint place of which Talkativeness and Pleasure told us, so we hastened more each day. At last, we reached this destination and were greeted by Charles and Hiram Drury, brother Pilgrims, whom we had met some time earlier. Here we were true wanderers, and ate around the fire and danced out in the open. But Faith bade us not linger too long, so we wasted but a few hours with our merry making. Our burdens seemed lighter now and the journey a pleasure. For days the path was smooth and we were delighted with the new way we had chosen. Then we thought we would have a band of pilgrims whom we had met earlier in our travels join us in a big merry making. So we sent messages to this Senior band and requested them to meet at a place know as the I. O. O. F. Hall. They were delighted and we were only too glad ourselves to rest awhile. Here we feast- ed on all the daintiesof the land and whiled away the hours most pleasantly. But our departure was marked with deep emotion, for we must bid this band farewell forever as they were taking a different path. Time stoppeth not. It was in the year of 1914 when we again set out with uplifted heads and undaunted hearts, for that fair field where we could at last cast aside all of our trials and tribulations. Then we entered a very beauti- ful passage, and the sentinel at the gate told us this was Seniordom. Fairly amazed with the beauty of the place, on we wandered, again but a happy band. The horizon was clearer than ever before and with the careful guidance of our new Evangelist Stone, we tripped lightly over the peb- bles of trouble. Frank Merrill had guided us safely through J uniorville so we chose him to lead us again through the last year of our pilgrimage. And then our old Mr. Money Keep- er, Paul Wells came back to us. On and on we wandered through this wonderful place meeting many others who were only starting on their way. How proud we were to think that we had endured the hard- THE CRIMSON I ships of such a journey, and how grateful we felt to those who had encouraged us in our task! It was but a short time until we met a band from Juniorville and they held a big gathering for us. And to be sure it was with sadness that we bade this band farewell, but we told them of our pleasant journey and encouraged them not to give up. We traveled gaily on, but it was not long until we were stopped by two Pilgrims, Harold and Horace Swain. They invited us to their country home for one more big jubilee. We ac- cepted their invitation and there seemed no end to our hap- piness. Then We started on for the last few days of our journey. The sky was again a clear blue, and we saw that promised land, which we had been seeking for so long. We have now but one more valley to cross, that of com- mencement. And then we shall step into the pathway of life and start that great pilgrimage of sorrow and joy. , THE' CRIMSON J I Class Prophecy Paris, France February 40, 1935 My Dear Peakie :- I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines to let you know how things are on the outside world. Yes, Charley, when my sentence in the pen expired, I shipped as a sailor to France. You know the exposition is here in Paris now. I wish your term was expired, so you could be with me, However, you have only another year to serve. Be real good and you may get out for good behavior, as I did. Say, Charlie, do you remember Frank Merrill of the old class at J. H. S.? Well, Brownie is running a billiard parlor here in Paris, and is the world's champion billiard player. I have seen quite a few of the old class over here. Maybe you'd like to hear something about them? Why, do you know, as I went in through the gate to the grounds, there was Andrew Cobb taking tickets. While walking through the grounds I saw a show, with the brightest lights, and the most magnificent entrance I have ever seen. I went in, and there was our old friend, Frank Caldwell, now the world's greatest dancer. Paris is simply crazy about him. I under- stand he is also designer for the ladies' styles in one of the largest stores here. Well, I left Frank's theatre, and stroll- ed on. Before I had gone far, I saw Edwin Smith in a big limousine. He saw me and came over and talked to me. He is teaching American methods of farming in Germany, and I understand Abner Johnson is soon to be with him as as- sistant. Presently I heard a buzz above my head, and look- ing up, I saw an aeroplane. I thought I heard someone shout at me as the thing went over my head, and I ran over to where it landed. There were Henry Ricks and Wells Walker. They had left their banks in New York City, THE CRIMSON J merely for a short fly over to Paris. They had to leave that day, but said that they expected to fiy over to spend the evening every once in a while. I left them, and meandered on until someone called my attention to a fine exhibit of furniture. It had an American flag on it, and pennants hung all around the booth. At first, I couldn't make out what the pennants said, but pretty soon I saw Paul Wells in charge, so I knew it was Woodson. Yes, Paul is now in charge of the Woodson technical school, and has the finest exhibit on the gronuds. I went back to the hotel where with my mail I found an American Newspaper. Who do you suppose was the editor? Clarence Spaulding. And it is the leading newspaper in America, called the Pisgah Chronicle. I really like this hotel, it is so thoroughly American. I saw a book on the table, and I naturally supposed it was French, but no-it was an English dictionary, and Chick Adams was the author. Very complete, only it's easier to understand the words than their definition. I glanced behind the desk, and there was Weir Smith, the clerk. I went over and talked to him. Among other things, he told me there was a big cir- cus on the grounds, in which Dale Boxell was the star acro- bat. He also said that Clarence Rataichak had a popcorn stand on the grounds, and was doing fine. Well, after talk- ing to Wier, I told him I would go to my room a while. He rang the bell, and in ran Edwin and Julian Pyatt, the bell hops. I was mighty glad indeed to see them. I went up- stairs, and presently came down to dinner. When I went into the dining room, the head waiter came towards me, and, bless my soul! it was Paul Strawn. Well, he placed me at a table and called a waitress. And the waitress was Mabel Peterson. Well, after eating a splendid meal, I decided to walk around a while. I saw the African building, and am- bled over. There were Carrie Mackness and Nelle Clampit in charge of those Africans. They told me they had given up their frivolous lives, and were now missionaries in Africa. I was strolling around when I saw crowds of people, all rushing in one direction. Some one was hurt. The ambul- THE CRIMSON J ance came clanging along. I looked closer to see who the per- son was who was hurt. No-it could'nt be! Yes, there was Harold Wright. He had been trying to count the number of lights in a tower, when an automobile struck him. The ambulance pulled up, who do you think it was? It was an old friend, Dick Reynolds-and in the Red Cross service. I rode with them to the hospital. When the force of nurses came out-wonder of wonders! There was Katherine Mil- burn and Norma Dawson. They are doing a great work. Well, after being assured Harold would recover, I left the hospital, and thought I should drop into a theatre, I went into the first one I came to, and found that the prog- ram was musical. Well as you always knew I never cared much about music, so I decided to sleep through the concert. But when I looked on the program, and saw that Grace Hoff- man, Helen Struck, and Helen Sorrells were to appear. I changed my plans. Later I went back on the stage and had quite a talk with them. They told me that quite a number of the old class of '15 were in the theatrical world. They said Helen Harney was starring in one of Cohan Jrs. pro- ductions. They further told me that Helen McDonald, Dorothy Weber, Hazel Moxon, and Ruth Hackett, were in The Follies of 1935 fFred Mayer is star comedian of the Folliesj. Lucile Sperry has made France crazy with her motion picture acting. Irene Black, and Warren Maddox rule England on the vaudeville stage. I understand these people are all fine, that they are real stars. After leaving the theatre, I was walking along, when I saw a great sign. It read, Pauline McMurphy, Sensational Aviatrix . Well, I knew Pauline used to drive a Cadillac in pretty good style, but when I saw her fly I realized she could drive a monoplane a great deal better. After this exhibition, I was strolling along when I came to a few exhibits. The first one was a breakfast food de- monstration, and there was Flossie Kellogg in charge. Then there was a cooking exhibit with Maude Brown in charge She is culinary art instructor in the Baked Beans College, Boston. Next I found Velma Whitlock displaying some THE CRIMSON J sewing. Some of the fancy work was wonderful. She said she was the designer and was employed by a French style house. You might be interested to know that some of our class- mates are married. Of course Wallace Hembrough is still the Count, and he and the Countess live very happily. Yes, Dorothy says she is quite contented, and Count-Well he's sure happy. Vida Dobson is over here at the Fair. She left here home in Granite City for a short trip to Paris. No, Oswald could'nt come now but will later. She told me that she had just returned from paying Jacksonville a visit and told me several things. Ila Ferreira is a reporter on the Journal. Nora Jordan is teaching in St. Louis Central H. S. and Ethe Reeve is assistant principal there. Harold and Horace Swain are farming out by Sinclair, and Elta Cruzan is superintendent of Children's Garden Instruction, and has Grace Gibson, Alma and Ruth Hembrough for instructors. Eula Harshaw is principal of the Fifth Ward. She also told me that Audrey Larson had purchased the Greek's Candy store, and was doing a good business. I left Vida and went to my hotel, and there over in one corner of the room sat Grace Wood, reading a magazine. I went over and talked to her, and she said she was instructor of music in the Paris public schools. I asked her if she knew what Lenora Wiegand was doing. She said yes, Len- ora was a nurse at the Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville and Rena Rexroat was teaching violin at the Woman's Col- lege. I found out, too, that Elsie Todd was running a farm herself. and was having great success. I learned that Grace said Marie Corrington and Ruth Carlson were teaching at the Open Air School back home. Eylla Sibert, she said, was married to some fellow from Chicago, and that they were living in a splendid mansion, out by Lincoln Park. Mary Moxon and Mary Titus are both teaching school in the country, and are making good. ' Some time ago I was traveling in the South, and I visit- ed a colored school, and I found Genevieve Haithman was THE CRIMSON J the principal. It was one of the best conducted schools I was ever in. I received a letter the other day saying Nettie Tendick was also teaching school in the country. Say, what do you think Violet Davis is doing? Well, sir, she is editor-in-chief of the Woman's Home Companion. Capitola Beebe is liv- ing a secluded life, with several angora cats, and other crit- ters to keep her company. Our friend, Edna Harney, is here in Paris running a rnillinery establishment. Well, Peakie old boy, I guess I will close now. Let me hear from you soon, and-you have only another year to serve, and you will be free with me. We will once more hit the trail of easiness together, and be happy. Your fellow cellmate, Wearie Willie THE CRIMSON J Class P06111 . When the noise of daytime ceases And the evening shadows fall And the firelight casts a mystic Flickering glow upon the wall. While I sit in meditation And my school days recite, There before me on the mantel, Hangs a pennant, red and White. Oh, what mem'ries linger round it, How it takes me back once more! To the dear old J 'ville High School, That we still love and adore. There we used to gather often, And our voices all unite In a shout that rent the heavens, And inspired us with delight. Fairest trophy in a thousand, Treasured more than words can tell, May thy colors ever triumph, May thy children e'er do Well. And when countless years have passed us, Though our friends may all be dead, In thy victories We'll still glory, Dear old pennant, White and red. -Frank H.

Pride and Prejudice is of the sterling English drama school, strong and solid and of 1796 times. As its name indicates, it deals with pride and prejudices of the people of that date, with the pride and frejudice manifested in the society of the times. Human nature is well portrayed in the lines, and the weakness of fashion's daughters and sons is strongly depicted. Of all our Senior plays perhaps none has met with greater public favor. The acting was splendid. The cos- tumes were elegant and admirably suited to the characters who wore them. The stage dressing was fine and show ex- cellent taste in the arrangements. Of course the first credit goes to Miss Francis Marie Scott, but all who assisted her did their parts admirably. The performance showed hard and careful study coupled with good ability and excellent taste. , The Cast Mrs. Bennett of Longbourn ......... ....

CLASS OFFICERS HAROLD BOYD President CLAY KILLIBREW Vice-President GRACE VAN HOUTEN Secretary and Treasurer Class Colors-GREEN AND WHITE THE CRIMSON A 'L1I1IOI'.S Dream Before me, in the grey of early dawn, A strange old castle stood. I gazed with awe Upon the many-windowed edifice, And wondered what might hide itself therein, And as I gazed, a sound of voices, hushed As when great mysteries are disclosed, arose And floated out to where I stood, amazed. A great old door, with words inscribed thereon, Half open stood. I nearer stepped, to see What legend might be there, and read these words, For he who enters here, whoe,er he be. Shall gather in the riches of the wise! A something urged me ong my feet obeyed, And with the fear a strange and lonesome place Instills within the heart, I stepped within. Great empty halls, and long and winding stairs- And when I dared to guess where they might lead, I staggered, weak and faint, as when ones tries To span the distance to the stars, in thought, Or limit Space within the grasp of man. Great halls I crept along, up winding stairs, Until a door I reached. I stepped inside, And there-a marvelous room, a treasury, Where precious things were kept-and given away. A crowd, expectant, eager, stood around, And, breathless, grasped whate'er was near at hand. At length, as by a signal, at one side A door swung open, and exposed to view Another treasury such as we were in. The crowd pushed in, the door swung shut behind. New things, and stranger yet, we found, and then Another door swung wide, another room We saw. Its treasures many times excelled The rest. We lingered long, and gathered in The precious things it held. We looked beyond To where another door stood yet tight shut. Three doors since early dawn had opened wide, Three doors had closed behind our backs, three times We'd gathered in the riches of the wise, THE CRIMSON J fBut little knew their valuej. Now the fourth And last door opened but a little way. A glimpse we had of greater treasures yet, Only a glimpse, and then the door was shut. What lay beyond no mortal tongue could tell, Other than that great wealth awaited him Who stepped within. Ah, could it be that they- But no! The door must open-open wide, And let us in-We must go in-we must- We must-Ah, look! The door is opening. 'Tis slowly opening! Soon will be ours What others have partaken of, and gone Their ways! Strange, that such crowds could tak And leave great wealth behind for other crowds! Ah! See! The door is opening-opening- Slowly, slowly, opening! Ah, look-look-! But no! Ere yet the door was wide, I woke. I woke before I saw what lay within. A glimpse was all I had, a fleeting glimpse, Yet beautiful because of mystery, And promises of future wealth and store. A glimpse, and yet I knew that sometime soon That door would open wide, and welcome all Who cared to enter there. And so I wait. So waits that crowd with whom I'd gathered in The jewels in these three great treasuries. e these jewels So waits that crowd, not phantom forms of dreams, But eager mortals, looking toward the door Which promises so much. Another door Will open then, and they will step withoutg The grey old castle will be left behind. But until then, which time is all too soon, They still will gather riches of the wise! CLIFFORD B.

The world has reached its pinnacle of progress in art, science, literature and invention, but much of it is hampered by a type of gov- ernment, medevial, archaic, obsolete. The vast fabric of human progress woven so patiently through the years by peace and industry is torn asunder by the cruel clutch of depotism. Absolutism, like a beast at bay, turns and strikes with the fury of despair at a world-conquering democracy. The dawn of autocracy was in the infancy of the race. The day of autocracy has been a long one. Beginning with the early nations of the ancient world despotism has been a potent factor in the history of all ages. The true rise of democracy dates from the dawn of mod- ern civilization. The printing press, the mariner's Compass and the public school system have been the levers that have raised the masses to a view of the ideal government, with equal rights for all and special privileges for none. The birth of the American republics, the purging and cleaning of the French revolution, the multiplying of limited mon- archs have been but conquests in the triumphing march of democracy. These two forms of government, autocracy and de- mocracy, contend for supremacy in the affairs of men. The one, hoary with age and intrenched in prejudices, finds its strongest argument in the records of the past. The other, progressive in spirit and modern in the success it has achieved, finds its righteous justification in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. On the field of thought and action, two hosts are marshalled. On the banner of one is inscribed: The Divine Right of Kings, while on the banner of the other is emblazoned this legend: All Govern- ments Derive Their Just Powers From the Consent of the Governed. THE CRIMSON J The great world War which is being waged in the east is but a part of a greater struggle where the issues involved are the rights and privileges of humanity. Millions of men, who have not been consulted concerning the cause of the conflict, are hurled to the slaughter. This crime of sense- less war for no better purpose than to satisfy the ambitions of a domineering autocracy is the greatest blot on the es- cutcheon of modern civilization. Of what avail is it that we talk peace, that We write about peace, that we congratu- late ourselves upon our civilization, that we hold peace con- ferences at The Hague: and that we give the Nobel peace prize, that we conclude arbitration treaties, when in one brief hour the whole peace structure is destroyed and the whole world is plunged into fratricidal War. This war is not a war of the people but of the rulers. Autocracy has had its way. Austria's quarrel with Servia was but a trifling matter compared with the consequences of the present struggle. It was no affair of the German people, nor yet again of the English people. The French- man and the Russian had no direct interest in the petty strife, yet the fate of all these nations and of all these people were cast into the maelstrom of war to halt the on- ward march of political freedom. The political unrest in Austria-Hungary, the rise of socialism in Germany, the clamoring of the masses in Russia must be diverted. The Czar, the Kaiser, and the Emperor hurled the destinies of their empires into the terrible vortex of war. An invasion of republican France and not of im- perial Russia was the first thought of the autocratic war lord. Nations and people, which had won the admiration of every civilized country, were forced to abandon the ways of peace and take up the cruel burdens of war. And for what reason? That the march of triumphant democracy might be checked. Each of the monarchs commends his subjects to prayer that God may bless their righteous cause. May this be the last call of monarchy upon divinity. The kings worship Baal and call it God. But out of the sacrifice will come a 5 THE CRIMSON J resolution, firmly taken, by all the people of the earth, that no more shall the sons of peace be driven from their toil and offered up with prayer to Almighty God in feudal strife. Never was the toll of war more terrible. Towns and villages are being burned and the homes of the people are being destroyed. Great cities and entire provinces are threatened with shortage of food and actual starvation. Millions of fathers and sons are thrust into uniform and sent forth as organized mobs, human machines of barbar- ism, for the one purpose of killing men. The wails and heart cries of millions of widows and fatherless children are ascending on high. When shall the end be? O God, how long? T Right forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throneg Yet that scaffold always the future, And from out the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own. Can there be found a justification for it all? May we, who believe that God made all things for a just and worthy purpose see through the darkness of the impending night, the dawn of a new era. May we behold the radiance ofthe day when the triumph of democracy shall be complete in the parliament of nations, the Federation of the world. May the curse of the ages be removed and this indeed be the twilight of the kings. And then, though the world be drenched in blood, can it be rightfully said of this war, even as the great Lincoln said of the war that exterminated human slavery, The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. -EARL PRIEST, '17 W IW ' WWW ' fa ' Q MW: ir: INV.

This organization has grown and improved until today it is an organization of which any school might be proud. The Association has proven itself a splendid school as- set in furnishing both literary and athletic stimulus. It has proven this great benefit to the athletic and literary in- terests of the High School in virtue of the fact that almost every student is a member and so is vitally interested in the cause for which the organization exists, or each one is in a measure responsible for the success of all undertakings. Al- though the organization is new it is rapidly becoming a great strength, in the future it will no doubt be even a better and stronger influence. May all the classes of the High School be as loyal to the association, as has been the class of 1915.

The following officers were elected: President, Floyd Williamsong Vice-President, Earl Priestg Secretary, Carrie Macknessg Sergeant-at-Arms, Dale BoxellgChr. Pro- gram Com., Helen Allcottg Chr. Social Com., Carrie Mack- nessg Chr. Music Com., Helen Sorrellsg Chr. Editorial Com., Worthington Adams. Carrie Mackness resigned her posi- tion and Violet Davis, the next highest choice, became our secretary for the rest of the semester. The second semester officers were: President, Helen THE CRIMSON J Harney, Vice-President, Harold Swain, Secretary, Ruth Hackett: Sergeant-at-Arms, John Marting Chr. Program Com., Lucile Sperry, Chr. Social Com., Helen Obermeyerg Chr. Music Com., Helen Struck, Chr. Editorial Com., William Bartlett. Our first real meeting was a joint Forum and Adelphian social held in the new gymnasium. One of our meetings was our annual Adelphian concert. The Adelphian is for- tunate in having so many musicians. Another attractive feature of this years program work was our play, Miss Dolton's Orchids . The Adelphian Society has endeavored to live up to its true literary aspirations. It has backed with unceasing effort all the literary activities of the school. In looking back through the year, we find that it has made a record well worth while. Mr. Earl Priest, an Adelphian, represent- ed the High School in the Oratorical Contest at Abington. John Martin, Earl Priest, Helen Harney, Ila Ferreira, Gladys Ferreira, and Ruth Fenstemaker, six of the seven debators, were Adelphians. At the tryout for Declamation held Wed- nesday evening April 21, the Adelphian Society Won both first and second honors. Miss Helen Harney who won first place, represented the High School at the W. I. H. S. L., and Miss Ethe Reeve represented the high school in the Griggs- ville meet. On the whole, the Adelphian society has been very fortunate in carrying away the high school literary honors. As a society, we recognize the very efficient work of our faculty advisor, Miss Cafky. She has guided the society through two years of its existence to the place it now holds in old J. H. S. and its activities. We wish to express our appreciation of her untiring efforts. Only a few days more, and our names will disappear from the roll of this dear old society. And with this, will pass into memory the good times we have enjoyed at our meetings. With deepest regrets, we depart. So here's to the Adelphian, may the coming year be as great a one for you as the past.

The question adopted by the Tri-Angular League was-Resolved, That the Parcel Post should be extended to include the entire express service of the United States. Our negative team went to the Capi- tal Cityg the afiimative remained at home. We did not win the decision of the judges, but both our teams proved their ability, and we feel that we have every reason to be proud of them. Miss Cowdin, our new coach has certainly proved a most valuable addition to our faculty. I w Declamation The preliminary declamatory contest was held Wed- nesday evening April 21, 1915 in the David Prince Auditor- ium. A new plan was carried out this year. There were three contestants chosen from each society. Eachddeclaim- V er showed careful training and good ability. First place was ' awarded to Helen Harney and second place to Ethe Reeve. Miss Reeve represented J. H. S. in the meet at Griggsville, where she won third place. Miss Harney was our repre- sentative in the Illinois College Interscholastic Meet on May 1, when she received second honor. Miss Harney again re- presented us in the W. I. H. S. L. Contest on May 7.

Not a minute was wasted in practice hours and soon the new ma- terial began to iight hard for their places, showing the old time pep, and enthusiasm which is half of the foot ball game. Long and dreamy were the days until Oct. 3, which was the day of our first game. Hannibal 0, Jacksonville 25 At Home, Oct. 3. With a day more appropriate for base ball, than foot ball, we started rolling the state title ball up the hill. This was Hannibal's third game. At intervals our opponents showed up exceedingly well, and in the first quarter tore but were fast and snappy, their line being the only weak point. Killibrew's spectacular run of 80 yards for a touch- down was the only sensational event of the game, but our whole team showed what could be expected in the future. A comment taken from the Jacksonville Journal: The trouble with Hannibal yesterday was that they were playing against a team that will be known as champions before the season is over. Hannibal 0, Jacksonville 28. At Hanibal, Oct. 17 In this game both teams showed great improvement since the skirmish two weeks previous. It was a hard fought game, but Jacksonville managed to score 7 points in each quarter. Hannibal played more of an offensive game and was very skillful in handling forward passes. Haigh showed up exceedingly well, and in the first quarter tore around Hannibal's right end for seventy yards and a touch- down. THE CRIMSON J Alton 0, Jacksonville 21 At Alton, Oct. 24 Because of the high wind, this game was not up to the standard but was very slow. Jacksonville kicked to Alton at the beginning and Alton was held for downs. Jacksonville worked the ball down, when Maddox was shot through the line for 20 yards, and Killibrew went over for a score. Alton again received the kick, was held for downs and punted. Line plunges were made by Haigh and Maddox. Killibrew sent the oval to the two yard line and Killy went over for the second score. Nothing but see-saw playing was exhibited in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter a spectacular pass was made to Thomason from Reynolds which resulted in a sixty yard gain and left the ball on the eight yard line. Paul Strawn- then pulled off his old time- fake play and scored the third touchdown. r Peoria 6, Jacksonville 7 At Home, Oct. 31. . This game markes the crisis of our foot ball season. Dur- ing the first part of the season a great deal of dope reach- ed here about the Peoria Central team. The nearer the game drew, the more we heard of their victories in the north. Immediately after the Alton game, the fellows started in with the strictest training possible. Everything but foot ball was given up Q nothing but foot ball was thought Of for a whole week. During that time while practicing with Ill- inois College, two of our sturdy back fielders Haigh and E. Pyatt were crippled and put out. This made the team more determined then ever to win. When the day finally came, the fellows were worked up to such a high nervous pitch that they were out of their usual form. In the first quarter was exhibited the closest game of foot ball ever shown in Jacksonville. Neitherteam being able to get more than twenty yards from the center of the field. In the second quarter Jacksonville started with the ball in her possession at about the middle of the field to the THE CRIMSO N six yard line by line plunges. On the third down, Dick Rey- nolds shot straight through the center and over the line, and then kicked goal, scoring our seven points. In the third quarter, while in Peoria's territory, a punt by D. Reynolds was blocked and scooped up by Reynolds of Peoria and car- ried over. The goal was missed. Jacksonville played a defensive game in the fourth quarter. The remarkable part of this game was that in the first part, Peoria worked the ball down to our two yard line and was held for eight straight downs by our stone wall de- fense. The ball was then punted out of danger and the game ended. Beardstown 14, Jacksonville 73 At Home, Nov. 7 In this game the team was back in shape and it was a decidedly one sided contest. Beardstown, however, was ex- ceptionally good on forward passes. They came back in the second half and made a strong effort to recover themselves, but the case was hopeless. In the last quarter, Reynolds was injured and relieved by Maddox, who with only five minutes to play, ran the team for three more touchdowns. The only thing that this game was good for, was for the Beardstown Coach to see his weak spots. Quincy 0, Jacksonville 23 At Quincy, Nov. 14 The Quincy team are undoubtedly the best losers in the state. Although the game was decidedly a defeat for Quincy they took it philosophically, and showed our team the good time that Quincy always shows to Jacksonville. Within the next minute of play Kil1y tore straight through the line and made a run of forty yards for a touch- down. Jacksonville then lay down and played horse until the fourth quarter. In the last part of the game two touch- downs were made and a safety by Meyer. Geiser, quarter THE CRIMSON J back for Quincy, was an individual star and undoubtedly the best man the team played against the whole season. East St. Louis 0, Jacksonville 91 At Home, Nov. 21 When East St. Louis was first seen it looked as though the whole season's work was gone, so far as championship was concerned. They outweighed Jacksonville about fifteen pounds and looked like the real old foot ball stuf. The extraordinary part in this game was that Jackson- ville made thirty-three points before East St. Louis got pos- session of the ball. The first touchdown was made before one minute of play. It was said by the spectators that the team was in the best condition it had ever been in, and they doubted if it could be stopped by any High School in the State. White Hall 7, Jacksonville 41 At White Hall. Nov. 26 Owing to the fact that we had kept our Turkey day game open, and East Aurora declined our challenge, the team was sent to White Hall. Only seven regulars were sent, and of these only two played in their regular position. The score at the end of the first half was 7-6 in favor of Jacksonville. The fellows then got scared, woke up, and walked on through the opponents for the rest of the forty- one points. 5 l .Aga 1 ,ffl ,JD , ,, .WL ,J .,,-1 RICHARD REYNOLDS Basketball Captain yn Hering, center, guardg Robinson, guardg Thomason, endg J.

'lk r P3 5 9 -I x To the Alumni At this time we desire to urge up- on the Alumni the matter of proper attire at the Commencement Exer- cises of the School. May the twenty-ninth is Alumni Day this year. Following the custom in vogue in many of the Eastern Col- leges and Universities, plans are be- ing made for a number of special class reunions. Members of the classes that have been out live years and multiples of five will be especial- ly urged to return to their Alma Mater. This means that the classes of '90, '95, '00, '05, and '10 should take this matter up at once. Arrange to attend whether your class has a special reunion or not. This feature is only additional, and will in no way conflict with the usual program of Commencement. We have made unusual prepara- tions, in our assortments of the famous Society Brand Clothes to take care of your apparel requirements.
