In prepar ing this volume we have also taken into consideration the interest of the school as a whole, and have embodied therein things which will be appreciated by all. We, the class of nineteen eighteen, are proud of the fact that we live in the grand old Prairie State of Illinois, and in proving ourselves worthy citizens have endeavored in a small measure to pay tribute to the Centennial of our State, here within these pages of our Annual. With these things in mind, our object has been to publish a record upon which we may look back with pride and fond memories. “(Thr (Urtmmnt 3” i taff tbitar-in-rliirf............ iBuautraa UJanagrr - - - -Assistant iBuaturaa fflatiagrr -S’libarriptiim fHanagrr - - - Settlor fcbttnr.............

To Mr. Perrin, our Superintendent, and to each member of the Board of Education we owe a debt of gratitude for the energy expended by them in our behalf. Only through the consistency of these members were we able to attend school uninterrupted during the great shortage of coal and water in the winter months. For these and many other services rendered in our interest we, as the Senior Class, desire to express our sincere appreciation. To ANNA MYRTLE ENGLISH AND WILLIAM H.

S. has labored under greater difficulties this year than in former years to instill learning, and a better knowledge of the things which life demands of us, into minds not naturally receptive and retentive. But the difficult tasks accomplished bv them have not been in vain. It is a-great thing to look forward to the fact that each member of the class of 1918. as he takes his place in the life of the world, will reincarnate in his work the better things which he has learned while under the influence of his high school teachers. It is also to be hoped that in his future life he will make the teachers of J. H. S. proud of the fact that they had an influence in shaping his life. Due to the unsettled condition of all things because of the war, and to the fact that many of the teachers were new this year, the task of the teachers has been doubly hard. Frequent changes have been necessary in the faculty as well as in the school curriculum, but throughout all everything has been accomplished creditably and with praiseworthy efficiency by the teachers. To our friend and principal, Mr. Callihan, unlimited laudation is due. He has been with us only two years, but during that time he has become a worthy head of the school and his dynamic energy has been the means of spurring many students to new attempts for the betterment of themselves. He has been the friend, the advisor. and counselor of all and wc hope that each student will retain the many fine things which he has learned from Mr. Callihan. We, the class of 1918, tender our sincere thanks to Mr. Callihan and to each member of the faculty for their splendid work in enhancing our intellect, broadening our minds and deepening our knowledge; and we hope that the underclassmen will be more responsive than we have been to assimilate the knowledge held out to them by the excellent facultv of J.

All who were eligible were eager to enlist and anxious to pass the required examinations. The recruits were mustered into Training Camp J. H. S. on September 21st, 1914, and the enlisted were duly assigned to their posts of duty. We, the 4th regiment, were given the extreme western side of the Barracks, so that the green things might ripen together. General Stone sounded the bugle call and gave the command to forward march to Room 8 for drill. There we proceeded to promote Private Molohon to the position of 1st Lieutenant, Private Wyatt to that of 2d Lieutenant, and Private Harold Ferguson to those of paymaster and yeoman. We chose Miss Anna English, who had come with us from the 8th grade, as faculty advisor in modern warfare. As these duties were quite arduous, we chose Mr. Huber as her assistant. During the first year of service we were in several skirmishes. We fought through thick and thin for the Nautilus subscriptions and victory brought us the five dollars. As a New Year’s resolution we decided to be true Blue and as good as Gold. We had a skirmish in the David Prince Gym. on January 8th. This had been commonly called a class party, but alas, no! not this time, for the Board sent out the ultimatum, “No Dancing Allowed.” We had a fine time, nevertheless, and plenty of good eats and interesting sports. The 4th regiment vanquished the Sophomores in two basketball games out of three at the opening of the I). P. gym, and won the interclass tournament. We set ourselves to the task of battling with Kaiser Failure and Meriting Excellent, and of course, we put the Kaiser to flight by the alliance of the Faculty and Brite-ones. thirty-three 1018 31fr (Urtmaon 3” 1018 We liad a great many more privates receiving all Kxeellents than any class in Training Camp. Later in the spring we received a leave of absence for three months and left camp on May 25th. Our furlough was over in September, 15)15, and Commander-in-chief Collins mustered us into the Barracks, this time giving us the right hand position in front of him. The beginning of camp life was saddened by the loss of our beloved General Charles A. R. Stone, who had been called to another position. Commander-in-chief Collins assumed the double role of Commander-in-chief and General this year. We celebrated our return to Camp J. II. S. by commissioning Private Blair as 1st Lieutenant, Private Fierke as 2d Lieutenant, Private Eloise King as paymaster, and Private Helen Leach as yeoman. After having accomplished this stupendous task, we were dreafully in need of rest. We next decided to go to Paymaster King’s residence for an evening of recreation. We were transported from Training Camp to the scene of action on hay wagons. We roasted “dogs’ and ate our rations of sandwiches, baked beans, potato chips, pickles and cider, although the supply of the latter was somewhat limited by the fact that Private Skinner presided over the “keg.” After mess, we entered the movies, where Captain Huber was starring with his favorite Fall. After some minor accidents and mishaps, suffered at the hands of our Senior ( amp members, we retreated victorious to camp a short time after midnight. During this Sophomore year, we gave a number of our valiant men to the foot ball squad and had we not willingly given our very best soldiers to fight for our camp. ,1. H. S. would have been defeated many times. We entered the basketball tournament between the four regiments and played in the last game, but were defeated by the 2d Regiment. We routed Kaiser Failure in this year’s attack. Our year was a decided success in every way. We left our Freshman year even farther behind when we disbanded on May 23rd for another three months’ vacation. On September 11, 15)1(5. we first met our new Commander-in-chief Perrin, who hailed from Lincoln, and General Callihan. who came to us from Galesburg. Although we missed Commander Collins, our new officers surpassed our earlier standard of efficiency and very soon won our love and respect. This year we decided to give Private Reeve the most honorable position of 1st Lieutenant. As Private King had served us so well during the previous year, we raised her position to that of 2nd Lieutenant. We made Private Dugger yeoman and Private Cully paymaster. We immediately entered the life at Training Camp with more zest than ever before, for had we not but one more year until we would lead everyone in Camp? Already we had left our mistakes behind and were marching along in faultless ranks. But the thundering and mutterings of war were upon us, so we began to train our men to slip through the barbed wire fences of the Faculty, as we were already perfect in target practice. Early in the fall we drove in cars to Dunlap Springs for an evening’s pleasure. The scene presented a very festive appearance, with jack-o’-lanterns hanging from the trees. We had the best eats imaginable, not excluding the cider. Ask Virgil about that. The presence of Billy Callihan added a great deal to the evening’s pleasure. This was his first introduction to our class and he straightway became a great favorite and was unanimously chosen as the mascot of the class of ’18. We had something doing every minute and after an hour or so of good wholesome fun, we returned to Camp in the cars, which had taken us out. In the years previous to this, the literary side of Camp had been fostered by the Forum and Adclphian Societies, to which both hoys and girls belonged. Following the idea of many larger schools. General Callihan thought it wise to change this plan. Accordingly, the Kappa Gamma Literary Society was formed for the girls, and the THIHTV-FOl'R 101B “®1|? (Crtmamt 3” 101B Zetagathian for the boys. This new arrangement met with our hearty cooperation, as proved by the fact that more Juniors than Seniors joined these societies. ! The debaters came from these societies, an equal number being chosen for their ability from each. The Junior class felt greatly honored by having Esther Wetzel and Mabel Ruyle take such prominent parts in this activity. Our class again led the honor roll for the number of students having averages of 90 and above. We won the interclass tournament, much to the mortification of the other classes. Our class changed the custom that had previously been adhered to of having a formal evening party for the Seniors. We issued our invitations thus, “Just a minute, Seniors, hark! Will you meet at Nichols Park? Be the Juniors' guests this day, Friday, twenty-eighth of May.” The Seniors welcomed the prospect of a change and appeared in full force on the appointed date. We had a very good time and our guests seemed to have the same, even though some boys did eat twice their share. Immedaitely after eight o’clock we disbanded, each considering himself fortunate if he was not caught in the rain. This being the last Junior activity of the year, we were then given our summer furlough. On September 12th, 1917. our last furlough was at an end and the Barracks were filled to overflowing with officers and privates in Camp. We honored Claud Cullv with 1st Lieutenancv, Virgil Skinner with 2nd Lieutenancy, Starr Boston with veomanship and the Faculty gave John Fierke the rank of paymaster. At this time the Faculty also submitted for our approval the proposed “Crimson J“ staff, whose names and likenesses appear on page six and seven in this volume. During- the first week of training we selected our rings, which arrived early in the month of October. The Seniors were the happiest bunch ever trained in J. II. S.. as was shown by their pride in their rings and their good spirits. Although we. as the 1st Regiment, were very happy that we had at last reached the coveted rank, there was a trace of sadness, too. that we must leave so much that was dear to us and go out to fight in the trenches of life. We longed to go into active service, and to that end we put forth our very best efforts to perfect our organization and tactics. Thru the entire year we backed General Callihan and the Faculty in all their undertaking's and cooperated with the rest of Camp to make things go. We were the ones who put “pep” into the Nautilus Staff, of which our beloved Private Esther Wetzel was editor-in-chief, by making the 1st regiment one hundred per cent perfect in subscription, thus surpassing all other regiments in Camp. We again carried off the interclass basketball championship. The Senior boys were the mainstay of the football and basketball teams, for it was due to their support that the other fellows came out. We are proud to have given several of our members to the service of our country. Albin Molohon and Raymond Lamming are already enrolled in the ranks of the army. Many of our bovs have already expressed a determination and desire to be of service under the Stars and Stripes, some preferring the Navy, some the Army and others the Aviation department. We close this record of the Class of 1918 with the determination to prove ourselves gallant soldiers in the great battle of Life. THIRTY-FIVE M. A. P. ’18 BtBt ..IE ttOBtnu© ail7)..

Free as a mouse in a trap, We roved through four long years, And studied book and map. Some feet on the hills grew weary. And thus they learned “nihil,” So we had to go and leave them.

O Muse, at our prayer, of the famous class of the High School Whose name and cognomen arc taken from the year of our Lord, 19; Whose glory is rising, and growing and nearing the splendor of noon-day. The song has often been heard of the exploits of these in their childhood How they grew and waxed valiant in battle, and met and ran not from the dangers. JJart lhr jfiriit First entered they in the portals of the temple of learning in Jacksonville; Filled with the thirst for knowledge, and the desire in their bosoms to conquer. First saw they the Most High Collins, and gazed in awe at the upper classmen. Then, as the custom, they met and elected their class officers. As President they chose Harold Bartlett and James Arnold as his coadjutor; And Mildred Henderson to manage the correspondence and money. Also chose they from the Faculty Miss Cowdin and Dale Boxell. Then these, the Freshmen, made a pilgrimage on foot to the Fount of Dunlap. here they ate many a delectable wiener and drank the juice of the apple. Anon, this class won the Nautilus contest which was a prize Of many dollars, and a feast to be given in the David Prince Gym. Wonderful was this party and many and fine were the dainties. When they had eaten and drunken unto their hearts’ satisfaction. They made merry with many sports which were greeted with joyous laughter; And while the Faculty were upstairs and reveling among themselves. The Freshmen were lured by the strains of music and tempted to dance. Hut lo! the door of the Gym did open and the Most High Collins did enter. FIFTY-THREE 191S (Urtmmnt 3” 1918 And with serious mien and uplifted hand lie did rebuke them and awe them to silence. Now in the month of January, the classes vied with each other In rivalry of the Interclass Basketball Tourney in which The Juniors wrested the palm from the gallantly contending Freshmen. Anon, it transpired that Bartlett and Boxell were forced to leave this class for countries unknown; And this class convened and chose in their places Mr. Springgate and Wilder Towle. So passed the first year. ■Part thr 5 rrmth “Now had the season returned when the nights grow colder and longer. And the retreating sun and the sign of the Scorpion enters: Birds of passage sailed thru the leaden air, from the ice bound. Desolate northern bays to the shores of tropical islands.” Along with these other signs, again this class assembled. Now they were known as Sophomores, and great was their self esteem thereby. And lo and behold! the Most High Collins was gone and in his place reigned A new man, Mr. Callihan, who from that day to this has ruled Wisely and well. Next the class met to choose their new officers. Wilder Towle and Mildred Henderson were rechosen and also Harriet Dunlap and Margaret Tomlinson, and as Mr. Springgate had left, Mr. Hufford, who had newly come, was appointed to be a class officer. Anon, it came to pass the Sophomores journeyed to the farm of Smith, the occasion being The annual class party. And the upper classmen conspired together And did plan to go also. But. at the sight of the Sophomore bovs and Mr. Hufford They did get cold feet and went away from there in very great haste. Ah, forsooth! it was a glorious victory and a most excellent party. And again did this class strive in the class tournament but in vain. For the Juniors did win. But in the Masquerade party the Sophs Did carry off the prize. Thus passed another year. Part thr Uliirh For the third time did this class assemble and revisit the old scenes This time as Juniors. As President was elected Clifford C arlson And Margaret Todd was given the position of secretary. In the place of Miss Cowdin, Miss Leonhard was appointed as officer. Soon there came to pass the great Y. M. C. A. campaign in which The Juniors early set an enviable record for the other classes, But as to the result of the contest, the less said the better. Later the Juniors competed again in the Interclass Tournament And played right valiantly and well, but tin Seniors Did manage to gain for a third time the supremacy. Thus this class, this band of stalwart young students, has climbed to this high position But one step from the top. Right bravely have its members contested. And so it will be in their lives; others may press closely upon them. Yea, even pass them. Yet far from dejected they will strive onward. And let us hope that this class will continue to prosper!

Could we do otherwise, after an association of three years, basking in the same smiles, rejoicing in the same joys, plotting the same plots, enduring tin-same hardships, suffering the same tyranny? A fraternal regard for your highest interests and the insistent demands of the editor of “The Crimson J” impels me to quote at length from our rich experience in the hope that this advice will aid you in your future Senior year. Therefore, hearken wisely to the words of wisdom flowing from the lips of vour elder brother. In preparing our last words to you, dear Juniors, we must not overlook the opportunity to commend to your earnest effort that most elevating of our studies— Economics.

Noble Juniors, soon to be Seniors, we intrust to your earnest, energetic and eloquent attention the realm of high school athletics. In respect to what some might unfeelingly call failures, we can only say, “Let the dead bury their dead. “( ast no stones at the departed.” For we have but blazed the trail through the wilderness of difficulties for your future success. We waft a word of warning lest you “fuss” too much. It hurts training, it aids not in preparing lessons. Take our word for it, we who have gone before, fussin in Mr. Carter’s Chemistry classes is not especially productive of high Chemistry grades. If you will only follow in our footsteps and do half as much as we did. we will not say another word about it. A few words of warning, a few kernels of advice, we feel it our duty to append in numbered summarized form that they may be the more easily comprehended: 1. Don’t laugh at foolishness; you have something better to do, of course. 2. Don’t expect to gain knowledge in classic by confessing your reading of modern novels. 3. Don’t flip notes in the study hall—it detracts the teacher from her work. k Do take an interest in the literary society, give it your active support and sympathy. 5. Do be nice to all the teachers—they are not to blame for your going to school. 6. Do study reviews before recitation time. 7. Do your best to encourage the teachers to give you high grades. 8. And when at last you have reached the stage in your career of a Senior, do at least give the underclassmen a passing glance because you look just as green to us.

(Class ijxstury When we. the Freshman Class of 1916, came over from the David Prince building to the awe inspiring High School, we were duly impressed but not the least bit frightened. However, we were rather hurt because the Juniors and Seniors did not appreciate our quiet dignity and the Sophomores declared we were the “greenest” class that they had ever seen. So true to our reputation we elected Arthur Green as our president. We chose Miss Balcke and Mr. Hufford to act as Faculty Advisors. Our first vear was not a verv eventful one, but was, of course, successful. W hen we launched forth into our Sophomore year, we became the leading class of the High School. We passed from a class of one hundred fifteen to a class of one hundred ten,—less in quantity, but not in quality. As we were quite used to and fond of the name, “Green,” we again elected Arthur Green as our president. After much debating we chose Dorothy Towle as vice president, Gertrude Wetzel, secretary, and Ivan Smith as treasurer. For class officers we selected Coach Hoover to succeed Mr. Hufford. who left us to join Uncle Sam’s forces, and asked our beloved Miss Balcke to continue as our friend and advisor. We began at once saving up energetically for refreshments for our Annual party, but later thought it much more patriotic to give our money to the Y. M. C. A. campaign fund. By the additional money collected from the two sandwich sales we were able to give $115.00 to the Great Campaign. The death of one of our number, Yorke Bossarte, cast a shadow over our class, and made us realize how much a cheery nature is missed. One of our number left us to venture on the sea of Matrimony, but the rest of iis are too busy to try out this dangerous path. Our aim is to excel both in quantity and quality, so that we may be able to serve our country in the biggest crisis that the world has ever known.

Those in authority say it was a lusty babe, and under the kind and gentle care of the faculty it has grown and thrived. This babe of ours, composed of 112 members, is one of the best ever brought under control of the Seniors who have fulfilled their guardianship with much gusto. One of the most momentous and solemn occasions in its early life occurred soon after school commenced—this was the christening. The day dawned bright and clear, yet the chill morning air made the wearing of a coat necessary. Those in authority were very busy and in consequence of this fact, some of the older members of the family decided the opportune time had arrived for the ceremony. Just as the study hall clock struck nine o'clock, the babe arrived at its first stop, its first location in the study hall. The youngster was placed over toward the setting sun. which, of course, was a mistake because it was just beginning to shine. Soon after this our babe was able to stand alone, and it was thought fitting to assemble its various members and to choose those who would lead it through the first year of its existence. At first the study hall was so new and strange that the babe was frightened. It was hard for the members to understand they should be quiet and Mr. T. W. (’. had to come and take them in charge. Soon, however, things were progressing rapidly. Nominations were called back and forth, votes cast pro and eon, then all was over. The officers elected were as follows: Eugene Darr, Presi- dent: Clara Smith, ice President; Marion Blair. Secretary; and Thomas O'Brien, Treasurer. Now that everybody was satisfied, speeches were called for. The martyrs got up and stammered something or nothing; principally nothing, because they were too greatly frightened to talk clearly. This meeting was held in the remarkable time of five minutes and sixty seconds (Ingersoll time). When the baby was nearly a month old, it began to show some of its sporty characteristics. When these characteristics became too strongly emphasized it bc- SIXTY-FIVE 1313 “UlJj? (Erimsmt 3” 1318 ....1.......... rtypr ....................... came necessary to elect some one to help the babe through its struggle to manhood. Miss Calkins and Mr. Baird were chosen to act as guides. In all High School activities the babe did its best to uphold the honor of the school. In the Nautilus and Athletic Contest the babe did itself credit. The Y. M. C. A. and Junior Red Cross Fund was helped along considerably by this lusty young mail. In the class basketball tournament, the babe held its ground, although the Seniors ran away with the “pudding. As school was drawing to a close, a great disaster came upon the family. We were burned out of house and home. But our near relatives of the David Prince School very generously invited us to share their happy home, so we are living in their handsome building until we get a new one of our own. As the student activities and problems are met and surmounted, our babe, now quite a youngster, steadily advances into new and broader fields. At last when the kind authorities take it on their knees for final questioning as to the year’s work, all the reward it asks for its efforts is the one word, “Sophomore.” Albkrta Se AH LETT, '21 JfrfBlintPtt (Class Alexander, Catherine Alexander.

The Nautilus staff exists to publish the high school paper, the Nautilus. Few people think how much time it takes to prepare one issue. Miss Esther Wetzel, the editor-in-chief, deserves much credit for the work she has done. If anything goes wrong, she gets the blame; if all goes right, the school gets the fame. Miss Gates, the faculty advisor, has corrected the errors, suggested new topics and, when necessary, has written jingles, editorials and the like, to fill up the space. The class reporters, business, athletic, and advertising managers, and the assistant editor have done the work given them to the best of their ability. Several special numbers have been issued. First there was the “Hoover number which received commendation from Mr. Herbert Hoover himself. Then came the “Red Cross” number, which was an especially attractive issue. A Tournament number was published at the time of the Basketball Tournament and copies were sold at the games. A “Fire” number commemorated the destruction of our High School building. Then the “Callihan” number was issued to express in a slight degree our regret in losing our beloved Principal.

Without her contributions the history of our country would be incomplete. In the bright firmament of our national emblem no star shines with greater brilliancy than the twenty-first.” The Centennial Club of the Jacksonville High School was organized at the sut-gestion of Principal Callihan as a fitting and profitable observation of the Centennial of our State. A representative body of twenty students, chosen from the four classes, met and discussed such an organization, and with these members as a nucleus, the initiatory steps were taken. A constitution was prepared and officers were elected. Miss Gates was appointed as Faculty Manager. The membership is voluntary; there are no fees and members arc dropped automatically when absent three times in succession. The meetings are held weekly and programs are given consisting of nine or ten numbers. From these numbers three are chosen by the vote of the Club, to be presented in Monday morning assembly. From time to time, outside speakers have been secured. The aim of the Club is to arouse interest in the celebration of the Centennial. We have attempted to do this through a study of the progressive history of Illinois, beginning with the story of the coming of Joliet and Marquette. The stories of Lincoln and Grant in Illinois, the victory at Fort Donelson, and other incidents mads the civil war period very interesting and real to us. Great social and educational workers of Illinois were also studied. Another interesting subject for study was the history of Chicago, the massacre at Fort Dearborn, through the Chicago fire and World’s Fair, to its present position of the greatest inland city in the Union. The year was closed with an intensive study of the history of Morgan County. The members of the Club were very grateful for a Centennial banner presented to them by the Athletic Association. Mr. Wallace Rice, who designed the Illinois banner, was a visitor at J. H. S. during the week of the organization of the Club. At that time he spoke on the plans being made for the observation of the Centennial and he gave an original ballad about an interesting bit of Illinois history. We have also enjoyed interesting and instructive talks from several other speakers. Dr. Carl E. Black told us some interesting facts connected with the early history of the medical profession in Morgan County. President Rammelkamp, of Illinois College, told us the story of Mr. Thomas Lippincott, an early pioneer in Morgan County, and the father of Mr. Julius Lippincott, the President of our Board of Education. Mr. H. H. Bancroft gave us some information in regard to the early educational problems and showed how Morgan County furnished the men who further educational interests, not only in the State, but in the nation as well. The Jacksonville Public Schools will take an active part in the celebration of the Centennial during the spring and fall terms of 1918. Pageants will be presented by the Grade schools, the David Prince pupils, and the High School students. The Centennial Club will furnish the events given by the High School. The story of the life of Lincoln, as portrayed by Benjamin Chapin in “The Son of Democracy,” was secured through the cooperation of the school children, and presented at Scott’s Theatre on ten consecutive Wednesdays. Another feature of the celebration will be the collection of a series of pictures showing the history of school work. These pictures will form a part of our exhibit at the State Fair. In these and many other ways interest in historic events will be revived and the Illinois Centennial Year will be fittingly observed in Jacksonville. SEVENTY-EIGHT 1910 “(Bfrg (flrimfiott 3” 1910 Att iEfutratimtal ® natty I T was intended to devote this page to a few of the interesting facts y about some characters of Illinois history. As those who were con-41 nected with Jacksonville history would of course be most interest- 11 iug, the three men, Governor Joseph Duncan, Newton Bateman, and Jonathan Baldwin Turner were chosen. Since all three of these men were engaged in the development and growth of education in Illinois and Jacksonville, they should prove doubly interesting to us thereby. Joseph Duncan was born in Paris, Kentucky, February 22, 179 k After having previously served with distinction in the war of 1812. and been presented with a sword bv vote of Congress, he came to Illinois in 1818. He was commissioned Major General of Illinois militia in 1823 and elected state senator from Jackson County in 182 k He served in the lower house of Congress from 1827 to 1834 when he resigned to occupy the gubernatorial chair to which he was elected in the latter year. In 1823 lie introduced in Congress the first common school law which provided free schools to everyone between the ages of 5 and 21 years. His administration as governor was very successful and satisfactory. In 1831 he erected the first frame house in Jacksonville, which still stands in Duncan Place. During his life in Jacksonville he was an ardent supporter of Illinois College. Jonathan Baldwin Turner was born in Worcester County, Massachusetts, in 1805. In April of his last year in Yale University he was urged by President Beecher, of Illinois College, to accept a professorship here. After making sure of his diploma at Yale, he journeyed overland to Jacksonville. In Illinois College he taught nearly everything in the curriculum except chemistry. One of the interesting things he did while at Illinois was the discovery and popularizing of the Osage orange bush as a hedge. Prof. Turner early became interested in the movement for public schools by taxation, and State universities by land grants by Congress. In 1834 he delivered an address in Springfield on this subject. In 1847 he retired from the College faculty in order to devote more time to this work. In 1850 he had been at work for nearly twenty years promoting the cause of general education in Illinois, observing the special needs of the state and devising how best they could be remedied. In this same year, on May 13. he delivered an address at a meeting of the Illinois Teachers’ Institute at Griggsville on the plan for state industrial universities. In 1851 he took an active part in a meeting of farmers, at Granville, Illinois, for discussion concerning the founding of an agricultural college. A second convention to promote the movement for industrial education in Illinois was held in 1852 at Springfield with Prof. Turner as president. This meeting presented a memorial to the State Legislature which did much to launch the movement. Illinois representatives in Congress were interested. In a year a petition was presented to Congress for land grants. Finally, in 1802, a bill was signed by Lincoln donating public lands to the states and territories for the founding of state universities. Prof. Truner was also instrumental in the founding of a State Hospital for the Insane here in Jacksonville, but his greatest work was in the cause of education. While he had zealous co-workers in this field of Illinois and other states, yet to him more than any other man belongs the credit of this magnificent achievement. After a long and useful life he died in Jacksonville on January 10. 1899, shortly after his ninety-third birthday. Newton Bateman was born in Fairfield, New Jersey, July 27. 1822. and came to Illinois in 1833. He was graduated from Illinois College in 1843. He was immediately appointed Principal of the English and Classical school at St. Louis. He held this position until 1845 when he became professor of Mathematics at St. Charles. Missouri. In 1851 he left there and came to Jacksonville and held the position of SEVENTY-NIXE 1918 “Oil)? (Ertmamt 3T 1918 Principal of the main public school for seven years. In 1857 he was Principal of the Jacksonville Female Academy and the following year was elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction. He continued in this office for fourteen years. During his incumbency the Illinois common school system was developed and brought to the state of efficiency which it has so well maintained. He also prepared seven volumes of biennial reports which have been republished in five different European languages. In 1875 he was appointed President of Knox College in wh� ch office he remained until 1898, when he was appointed President Emeritus. In 1878 he was made assay commissioner of the gold coinage by President Hayes. He died at his home in Galesburg, October 31, 1897.

A ICritruit nf dllltmita In the fresh brightness of a new morning in the Year One, the Creator gazed with an approving eye over the result of His handiwork and found the land and sea fair to look upon. Only one thing was needed to complete the creation of this new earth. Some spot must lie chosen to receive the finishing touch, the finest work of his hands. Soon there was selected for this purpose a fair and beautiful spot, bordered on the west by a broad and mighty river, and on the east and south by other rivers whose waters flowed on to join those of the first. Here was the finest spot of all for the wonderful work of His creation, so taking a handful of the richest soil ever made. He sprinkled it over the great central plain and infused in it the power to grow flowers and plants to delight the eye, grains and foods to sustain life, and great trees to spread out their branches and protect mankind. Soon the earth burst into blossom, and green things grew in abundance. Nowhere was there to be found a better place for habitation than that which had last lieen created. Here everything grew bountifully and the earth was glorified because of its productiveness. Then Man came and inhabited the land, and found this spot wholly fair. So with joy and gratitude welling up in his heart because the Creator had provided this lovely place in which to live, Man gave to this beautiful countrv the name, Illinois. A. M. E.

It serves several good purposes. When the music begins to come, then the voices begin to hum. “Musical noises covcreth a multitude of voices.” We talk, not because we do not appreciate the music, but because it sort of exhilarates us. Some of us get light-headed, others get light-footed, and the only way we can work this off is by talking. Another good thing about the orchestra is its ability to keep us from getting to classes on time. I think if Mr. Callihan didn’t believe we would hate to miss so many classes, he would let the orchestra play all morning. We are sorry he feels that way, because we really wouldn’t mind it at all, once in a while. We appreciate his thoughtfulness, however. But, coming back to the orchestra, it is the best in the whole United States; we know it. if no one else does, and we want to thank Mabel Wvatt, especially, as its director, and its members, for making it possible to have such a beneficial organization in our high school.

A general course of work is given and in this way the student may decide which branch of the work suits him best and thus go on and specialize. Among other things poster work, still life drawing, drawing from real life, monograming. and leather work have been taken up. Posters have been made by the art department for public activities and school activities. The leather work is deserving of special mention.

It was not organized for the sole purpose of showing the dramatic ability of the students, but to make money for J. H. S. Mr. Hufford found it difficult to be coach, stage manager, business manager, etc., so four members of the club were elected to assist him in his work. The year 1916-17 met with great success, due to Mr. Hufford’s ability as a “Coach.” The year 1917-18 looked promising for the club, but the club’s hopes were badly shaken when Coach Hufford responded to the call, “Men Wanted to Fight for Uncle Sam. The members regretted having Mr. Hufford go, but were proud of the fact that he had enlisted and we are sure he will be a star actor in the wonderful Patriotic Drama now being staged. Miss Fenton, who came to take Mr. Hufford’s place in .1. II. S.. played the part of the good Samaritan and became our dramatic coach. She is well fitted for this work, having received her training in the Cumnock School of Oratory of Northwestern University, and having had several years’ experience in coaching high school plays. The Dramatic Club assisted in the production of The Wind Mills of Holland” and The Minstrel,” both proving a success financially as well as being good productions. The following plays have been given by the Dramatic Club during the two years it has been organized: “Uncle Dick’s Mistake.” “A Social Crisis.” “Thirty Minutes for Refreshments.” “My Son Arthur.” “Larry.” “The Teeth of the Gift Horse.” Rescue of Prince Hal. “The New Co-ed.” II.

There are eight members of the Board of Control, six being students and the other two, members of the faculty. The student members of the Board are officers of the Student Association. The duties of the Board are varied and call for careful consideration and tact in handling delicate situations. The members of this year’s Board, as well as last, have worked in harmony and always for the betterment of .1. H. S. Is it not a good idea to let the representatives of the students, chosen by vote, become members of the Board of Control and thereby voice the opinions and sentiments of the students? The athletic activities were quite a success this year, altho the football games were not well attended. But our “pep” was never greater, our enthusiasm and spirit more wonderful, and our cheerfulness and hopes more inspiring than they were this year. We wanted clean athletics and we got it.

FOOT |ALL ,RO.M the standpoint of winning games the football team was a fail- I4 ure. But there is another standpoint to be considered, that is, playing the best game possible, no matter what the odds. From || this standpoint the team was a success. In every game the fellows put up the best fight that was in them, even though they were sure of being beaten. When the schedule was made out, no consideration was given to the weaker teams; only those teams which were known to be as good or better than ours were placed on the schedule. The team was unusually light this year. The back field averaged only one hundred and forty-two pounds while the line averaged one hundred and fifty-eight pounds. This makes a team average of one hundred and fifty pounds. The line plunge and the forward pass were the favorite plays. Although light, the team was fast and this enabled them to get the start and rip great holes in the opposing line. These straight line plunges seldom failed to gain from two to ten yards. This ability to tear up a heavier line caused much surprise to our opponents. The forward pass was also used a great deal. The ends were both experts at handling passes and both half backs had played end for two years before, so there were few fumbled passes. Our weak place was in breaking up trick plays and wide end around plays. This weakness was soon found out by our opponents, a fact which gave them a great many touchdowns. The first game was with Alton. Throughout this game .1. H. S. was forced on the defensive on account of superior weight. We then lost to Springfield by one touchdown. Carlinville played us a tie. As we had done better in each game than the one before, it was our turn to win the next, so we beat Quincy by a single point. From then on. throughout the rest of the season, the scores were all in favor of the opposing teams. At the close of the season a banquet was given and the “J’s” awarded. Speeches were made by Principal Callihan and Prof. Carter. The Seniors who have played their last season for .1. H. S. were called upon and each responded with a short talk. Captain Ferguson and Captain-elect Green were the last on the program. The Seniors on the team were: Ferguson, Fierke, Reeve, Garvin, McDougall, Bento, Tholen and Harney. These men will be missed next year, but with Green, Hunt. Arter. Vieria. Smith, Brown, Gunn and Smith back next year, together with the new material, J. H. S. should have a team which will give a good account of itself. H. F. ’18 ullir Srlifiiulr .i. h. s.......................... o j. h. s.......................... 7 J. H.

With only two experienced men and three green men on the team, the outlook was not very bright. However, this did not discourage the team, as the players showed the same old fighting spirit that has always characterized J. H. S. athletic teams. The first game was with Mr. Sterling, a team of four veterans and one new man. Although our boys fought hard, they were beaten from the first. After losing several games they broke their losing streak by defeating White Hall. Then the old “jinks” got them again and no more games were won until they went to Auburn. At the end of this game the score was a tie. In the five minutes overtime J. H. S. piled up 12 points to Auburn’s nothing. The rest of the games were lost, but the game put up against Springfield clearly showed that we were to be reckoned with when the tournament came off. This game was probably the best of the season, the score being 1(5 to 13 in favor of Springfield. There are five Seniors who won “J’s”—Fierke, (’apt., Reeve, Harney, Me-Dougall, and Bento. Although these men will be missed next year the prospects are very good for a winning team. With Smith, Green, Gustafson, and Rexroat of the “J’’ men, and the new material, a splendid team should be developed. At the close of the season the “J” men in both football and basketball were given medals with the letter “J” and the year 1918 on them. These medals are sent out by the state association and will probably be adopted soon by all the schools instead of felt letters or emblems. H. F. T8 iBaakrl Sail ’djriutlc J. H. Mt. Sterling 13 J. H.

S. team resolved to make a “comeback” in the tournament. There were twenty-one schools represented here and when the smoke cleared away Jerseyville was first, J. H. S. second, Rushville, third, and Mason City fourth. Before the tournament it looked as though the honors would be between Jerseyville and Waverly. J. H. S. was not expected to show up very well, as she had been defeated by a good many of the other teams entered. Our first game was with Carthage. Little was known of her strength, but after the first few minutes of play it was evident that it was anybody’s game. W hen the final whistle blew the score stood J. H. S. 24, Carthage 22. Our next game was with Waverly. Our boys entered this game with a determination to wipe out the defeat they had met at Waverly’s hands earlier in the season. Waverly was just a little too confident and did not wake up to the fact that she was up against a real team until the game was over and the scoreboard read J. H. S. 16, W averly 13. Mason City was our next victim. Mason City bad beaten J. II. S. during the season, so it looked rather blue for J. H. S. However, our boys wanted to see how the word “Champions” would look after J. H. S., so they won 32 to 16. This brought us up to Jerseyville who had been winning bv large scores in all of her games. The gvm was packed for the final struggle and about one hundred people were standing. -Excitement was at its height and it seemed as if the roof would be lifted off. Our boys put up the fight of their lives but were unable to do better than hold Jerseyville to a score of 32 to 17. On Thursday night after the tournament Mrs. Smith, mother of one of the players, made good her promise which she made before the Waverly game, that if our team won that game she would give them a feed. It is a good thing she waited until after the tournament to keep her promise or our boys would not have been able to walk, much less play basketball. That feed is still fresh in the minds of ail who attended, as is the one she gave to the football boys last fall. Both the football and basketball boys will always have a warm place in their hearts for Mrs. Smith for her loyal support of the teams and will hope that other mothers will follow her example and support their bovs when thev plav on athletic teams.

Of course when the team went away on a trip, all the news that reached you folks at home was the result of the contest. Hut now. you know, when a bunch of happy, care-free young men, such as old .1.

So here are just a few of the happenings which were not published in the newspapers. On the football trip to Hushville four of the fellows were riding all over town (which took about two minutes and 37l z seconds) in a Ford. They were trying to locate the high school but without success. At last Russell Bento, who honored tin-group by his presence, spied a pretty maiden strolling along and looking lonesome. Directing the chauffeur to drive alongside, he hailed the maiden thus: Bento: “Hey. kid. where’s ycr high school?” Maiden (after a pathetically, searching gaze): “On the ground, where da va spose r Bento: Oh-o-o-o-o-o! I—I I didn't know. Thanks!” Oil the football trip to Springfield the team was obliged to put up for the night at the St. Nicholas hotel which was a sad misfortune, since that is a place where civilized people go to sleep. Along about twelve bells some of the fellows became restless and. to work off some of the superfluous energy which they had acquired from about 1 Vs hours’ sleep, they began to hold a track meet with a clothes basket bn wheels which they found in the hall. Immediately they were chased to their rooms bv the night watchman. Compelled by the same old curiosity that killed the cat, they ventured out of their rooms again for one more baby-carriage ride. Once more the night watchman appeared. Hurrying back to their rooms—no, only doors—for they were locked out, this conversation ensued: Voice from the outside: “Come on, open that door.” Peg Smith, on the inside: “Who goes there?” Outside: “Open the door, you nut.” Peg: “Give the countersign.” Outside: “Say, please open the door. Peg.” Peg: “Go on away, you strange boys, and let old Peg sleep.” (Immediately followed bv a pitcher of ice water through the transom.) Result: PEG OPENED THE DOOR! In a few minutes quietness again reigned which lasted until early morning when everyone in the whole “denied” hotel was awakened by that pesky Peg hollering across the light shaft: “Ben Gunn. Ben Gunn, arise, come forth, and do battle.” That settled the sleep question. It seemed as if the excitement would come in spells and the next spell was on the basketball trip to Jerseyville. After being on the road for five long hours we arrived in dersevville in time to start the game at 10:30 p. m. After the game, we were all so dead tired that we immediately hit the hay. That is, all except our good little innocent coach who, for some reason or other, lagged behind. When the bunch arose the next morning we had breakfast and then loafed around town (and a confectionery store) until about train time. By hook or crook (mostly crook) one member of the team was able to bring from the said store a whole pound box of chocolates to plant safely ( ?) in his suitcase. When it came train time, at a given signal from our dear coach, every one grabbed his suitcase and started for the station. After going about a block. Fierke opened the conversation: Fierke: “Gee. but my suitcase seems heavy.” Greenie: “So does mine, boy.” NINETY-NINE 101B (Ertmamt 3” 101B Bento (as usual): “Da va know, 1 spec somebody’s been up to some trick. Mine weighs a ton.” (Fierke immediately opened his suitcase but found nothing.) When we had boarded the train and were headed for home. Bento succumbed to that same old curiosity again and opened his suitcase to investigate with this result: Bento: “Oh-o-o-o-o man! Looka here would ya?” and, holding up a big old Ix-1 paving brick, “I knowed somebody'd been up to sump’n!” Bento had solved the mystery, and looking in our own suitcases we soon brought forth the whole brick family. By the way, the member who had the pound box of chocolates loosened up his heart a little and, after passing the box around until the whole top layer was gone, he prepared to finish the bottom layer all bv himself. He reached in and got a whole mitt full of—taffy, peanut brittle, and candy beans. Stung! Some more of our good, little innocent Coach’s “dirty work.” Well, our next trip of any importance was a two days’ trip to Pawnee and Auburn. We had to change trains at Ashland and when we got off to change, we found that the next train arrived in just about four big, long hours. We finally found something to occupy our time and most of you will understand when I tell you that Fierke left Ashland with a pocketful of pennies. Our next stop was at Divernon where we waited about another hour for a bob sled to take us to Pawnee. While waiting, a few amusing incidents happened. You know that Lucas guy? Well, he heaved the basketball right through the depot window the first thing off the reel and then he beat it out of doors to wait until the sled came, because he didn't have but about 15c left. You know! Fierke kept the rest of it for him. We were all standing out on the platform talking when suddenly George Harney’s voice rent the midnight air: George: “Get out a here, you son-of-a-gun. (Accompanied by a kick.) This was followed by “gr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.” Looking around, we were just in time to see George’s hoof barely miss a full grown “valler” cur which, in some manner, had got all mixed up with George’s suit-ease. The bob sled came and we left for Pawnee where we played another 10:30 game. Remember this was a two-day trip and you know that boys our size have to have something to eat once in a while. Well, that coach of ours sure lived up to his name (Hoover) and it was a starved bunch of players who arrived at “home, sweet home” once more. Ask Rexroat. He says he lost “pert neer” 5 lbs. We came from Auburn to Springfield, where we put up for the night. We established a good reputation this time. I said we put up for the night. That is, all except Coach. He came shuffling over to the group about 11:00 p. m. with a guilty look on his face and said: “Fel- lows. you can stay here by yourselves, can’t you? I won’t be with you to-night.” And he wasn’t. Nor he didn’t show up until about noon the next day. When he came around to give us our railroad fare home he acted exceedingly cross. Must have had a headache. P------st, you know ! The next excitement came at Waverlv and old Rexroat was in the limelight. He said he lay awake all night with a game leg. Do you believe him? I do. That’s just like Rex. Well, that’s all except the tournament. And to tell the truth there wasn’t much foolishness about that. It was just naturally made up of blamed hard work and lots of it. too. The only amusing thing was in the dressing room where we kept all of our rabbits’ feet, buckeyes and rocks. We earnestly resorted to these, during the intermission, for all the good luck they could give us. In conclusion I might say that, although we had our good times, we conducted ourselves well, and received many compliments to that effect from the towns we visited.

About •'t'72( was raised in school for this cause and thus .1. H. S. set an example for other neighboring schools. Another activity of which the school is proud is the Junior Red Cross, just recently organized. Class spirit was shown again here and in a remarkably short time J. H.

The name on the Seal is U. S. Boys’ Working Reserve. This work is run thru the Department of Labor of Illinois. This work is to get the boys from the ages of 10 to 20 to register for some work during the season, especially to work on the farms. The boys of the High School have responded to this call in a very patriotic manner. There are now about two-thirds of the boys in the High School registered in the Boys’ Working Reserve. The boys that have planned to go on the farm have been taking an extra course in Agriculture to prepare themselves for better knowledge of the farm work. Each boy that goes on the farm for the summer and returns with a slip from the farmer for whom he has been working, stating that he has kept his work faithfully, will receive a Bronze Medal which will be given by the State Council of Defense.

H. S. boys and girls and caused us to rally so zealously and enthusiastically around the “hoe and the stove.” First, our hoys offered their services to Uncle Sam by joining the “U. S. Boys’ Working Reserve.” When we girls heard about how important it was for the hovs to do their hit and how they would have to sacrifice the pleasures of summer for the work in the fields, wre wondered if there wasn't a place in this great field of labor for us, for we, too, wanted to sacrifice something for Old Glory. Our enthusiasm was so great that we went to our principal, who was pleased with our patriotism and showed us that there was “more than a hit” for us to do. He told us that food must not only he grown, hut it must he conserved and canned, and that the victory of war was dependent on the conservation of food in America. A few days later a new course was scheduled on the J. H. S. list and it was christened “The Canning Course.” This was the origin of our “Girls’ War Course” or “The Canning Course” which has indeed had a very bright and promising beginning, and we are all confident of a wonderful ending. We are confident of a work! We are going to work on the farms if we are needed. If there isn’t enough work for all of us we are going to work in our own city and in our own homes. We are not procrastinators either, for we are working NOW in our homes. Each Monday morning we hand in a report of all the housework we have done during the week. The home work is only one section of our work. We are making a complete study of the reasons for the shortage of wheat, meat, sugar, fat and milk and also a study of the food conditions of our own neighborhood. Another section of our work is the laboratory work in which we will he taught how to prepare war dishes, make war bread, and can fruit. We are also taught how to use other practical methods of conservation. May McCune, 20 aljr (fcurfcrn Yes, we’ll rally ’round the hoe, girls.

We haven’t anything in particular to celebrate, but this celebration we call the carnival. At this gathering we always have a good time and even the “wall flowers’’ loosen up and become limber. The Carnival this year was an especially good one and a person going by might have thought that Fatty Arbuekle or Charlie Chaplin was featuring in a show from the sounds which issued from the gym. We had everything necessary to make a good time. Our old standby, “Stunts,” was with us and he sure was at his best. The Seniors kindly condescended to descend to the level of the teachers and give us an example of a real teachers’ meeting. Indeed, if they had only looked a little fiercer and unnecessary, we might have mistaken them for the faculty. Several of those in the audience were embarrassed as their names were called out on some charge or other, and “Calli” was there with his “Well, so much for that.” The Freshmen amused themselves bv running to and fro behind sheets. Some most horrible shadows were thrown on the screen, so that we trembled in our seats— that is, we shook violently. The Dramatic Club endeavored to bury Caesar, but Caesar was highly resolved that he wouldn’t be buried. The funeral was most pathetic because the dead wanted to rise before rising time. Tears flowed freely but we don’t think they were real. There were several other stunts in which people infested the stage. We had everything from Grimm’s Fairy Tales to Knitting Parties. Hilly Callilmn had Miss Gates’ friend, “Bud,” do some stunts. We see in Hilly a “T. W. C.” sure, and a prospect of rising from commanding dogs to commanding people. Of course between acts we gnawed on doughnuts and “sech”—and cider. Everybody left, reporting a good time and awoke the following morning “doing as well as could be expected” in spite of the cider consumed.

As you know, every child is eared for by some kind fairy, so to the party came three of these fairies. Various games were played during the evening. Master Tressler Callihan led in the games and the older hoys found it hard to catch him. Little Miss Dorothy Towle won the prize for the nicest costume present. She received a small wood automobile, hut since gasoline was so high at that time, the committee was sorry that they could not give her four or five gallons. Delicious refreshments were served during the evening.

They had prepared a large frame, and in the frame appeared representatives of the different organizations and classes which were given space in the book. The Seniors' baby pictures must surely he good, for the representation was very lifelike. The Boys’ Agricultural Classes will undoubtedly be a great factor in the present war. Their representative, at least, showed vim and determination to win. The entire stunt was fine, and something new to J. II. S. students.

The second part was a play entitled, “An A B C' Elopement, in which the different characters were taken by members of the Nautilus staff.

So many attended this entertainment that extra seats were placed for the overflow, but nevertheless some had to stand. These pictures were represented by pupils of the High School, David Prince and the ward schools. There were many pictures posed by the different pupils. Two-thirds approximately were posed by the pupils of the J. H. S. The evening's entertainment was a success from both the educational and disciplinary standpoint. It was well worth one's fifteen cents to see the excellent representation of many famous paintings and also to see that some of the High School students could be perfectly quiet for at least two minutes. Miss Leonhard and Miss Sibert had charge of the selection of the people who posed for the pictures.

All heads how to her and sigh with one accord, “Had we hut known, had we hut been warned, we could have, perhaps, been able to foil the enemy.” While she stands cruelly dismantled and disfigured, her spirit and memories live on. In fact, our hearts and minds are Hooded with thots and images of the past. So, for a few minutes, may we think of her as she was—and now. Among the trees she lifted her proud head four stories above the grassy lawn. The cupolas and the Hag pole which have stood many years and weathered many storms and smiled down on many happy graduating classes were also swept before the oncoming foe. Within those mighty walls hundreds of students learned the ways of knowledge. The big front door was in the south side. After opening the door one went up a flight of steps to the second Hour, there one found a large register over which on zero mornings we all gossiped. On the cast, west and north sides of the hall stood lockers that melted and ran into nothing when the heat settled down upon them. Another flight of stairs led to the third floor, where was Mr. Callihan’s office, where all our past records were taken prisoners of the enemy. And, too, there was the Study Hall where the most wonderful times of our High School days were spent. There we entered as Freshmen and thru four years of careful guidance we traveled toward our diplomas. rhink of the notes we wrote, the smiles that were cast from row to row, and the hours we studied there. Do you remember the words of advice and cheer that were spoken from the platform? How can we ever forget the rousing “pep” meetings and the many athletic teams that vowed to win the victory for old J. H. S. Yet we did not always win. but by defeats we were strengthened into loyal boys and girls. 1 he top floor, with the laboratories and varied collection of stuffed birds, made OXE H1XDRED TWELVE 1013 ah? drimsmt 3” 1013 good food for the hungry flames. Explosions sounded the report of dying chemicals; everything went before the raging tire of destruction. The smoke and flames reached high in the heavens. The town was showered with sparks and burning embers. The greedy flames, not satisfied with the school, took Trinity Church, too, for the wind was an ally of the fire. Now J. II. S. is a pitiful sight to see. The remaining walls look ready to fall with the least bit of wind. Yet the fire escape still clings to them. With all their beauty gone the walls stand like silent sentinels unable to answer the questioning faces that hover around to view the wrecked structure. But in spite of the ruins, the spirit of J. H. S. is still unconquered, and smiling thru her tears old J. II. S. seems to say, “King Callihan and Faculty, lead on.” E?fl?rttmta mt Erring th? Enina uf JL I R dear old J. II. S. is gone forever. Never again shall we roam through its halls or go to its class rooms. It is gone but not forgotten. Few will ever forget the good times that we had within those walls. Tis sad to view the ruins of a building we all loved so dearly, but as one stands before the ruins, that scene passes from one’s vision and the recollections of happy days gone by, enter one’s mind. Only the day before, the building rang with the applause of the pupils when our Principal, who had been ill for several days, entered the study hall. No one dreamed flien, that before another day, the building would be completely destroyed by flames. And in such a year, too! flow enthusiastic everyone was in every contest! We did better than ever in the Nautilus contest, and when the call came for money for the Y. M. C. A. War Fund, we raised more than any other high school in the state. Besides these things and the Centennial Club, we have formed the Food Conservation ( lasses and Agricultural C lasses and showed our patriotism by subscribing one hundred per cent in Junior Red Cross membership. e did exceedingly well in athletics this year and the tournament was a big success. At our “pep” meetings we never lacked in enthusiasm. How often the old building “rocked” at these meetings and our veils echoed throughout the rooms! Of course we had our troubles with our joys. We were indeed sorry to lose our teacher and coach, Mr. Hufford, and several difficulties arose during the year. At times we grumbled over our lessons, and a few wished that school was over. But they didn’t wish it so much that they don’t feel sad every time they look at the shattered walls and piles of brick, which mark the place where our high school once stood. We have had the right spirit throughout and we shall keep a good part of it, but school life will never be the same again as it was in J. H. S., which is no more. Myra Whitlock, ’20 ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN 191B “olljr (Urtmsmt 3” 191B ffly fepmntrr at thr § rluwl JFtrr T 2:30 on the morning of March I t. 1918, we were awakened by a lady who told us that the High School was burning. Upon looking out of a front window, I decided that she told the truth for I could plainly sec and hear the school burning. At once I hastened to the fire, hoping to reach the building before it would be too dangerous to take a slide down the fire escape. But I was disappointed. for the building was one large blaze when 1 reached it. I joined a bunch of girls and we held down a corner and watched the awful sight. In the meantime we told each other how we would have rescued the records, etc., if we had only got there sooner. (It was a great loss to the school that we didn’t.) While watching the roof and floors go rushing madly downward I tliot of my Botany drawings which were then going up in smoke, of the Class History I had kindly condescended to write for the “Crimson J,” of my case of Zoology implements with which I had cut up many—dead—animals, of my gone hut not forgotten locker and wondered if I ever would get my 25c for my key. Then I quit thinking and hurried down to see the Episcopal Church burn, hut soon I again came back to the school, or what was left of the school. While viewing the remains I heard some rash Juniors say that if they wouldn’t bake before they reached the building they would go cast themselves into the flames and perish with the school and that they didn’t see how they could exist without the High School. We consoled them and told them that only the Seniors would have to finish the school year, hut they raved all the more, bemoaning the fact that they could never go inside the High School again. Soon we gave up the job of trying to quiet them and went back to our corner, wondering at the queerness of the Juniors. Suddenly I was seized with a mad desire to do something heroic and just then I saw some window curtains of the D. P. building on fire. The window had broken because of the intense heat. I gathered myself together for a mad race across the school yard to the building, but my fond hopes were crushed, for just then I saw some one, who had beat me to it, was taking down the curtains. About half an hour later, my mother came to me and begged me to return home, hut I told her that I could not leave the school to perish without an eye to witness and finally persuaded her to leave me. We girls stood against a tree and shivered, in the meantime urging the shivering ones to go sit on a window of the school and warm their feet by the fire, but they scorned our advice, saying the view was better from where we were standing. We continued shivering until 5:30 and as there was nothing more to see we started home, leaving the boys throwing cold bricks at the walls, perhaps thinking this would be a good way to revenge themselves for the many wrongs they had endured within its walls. Dorothy Towle, ’20 ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN ur Present Home luia dill? (CrimHint 3’ 19IB ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN 1918 (Erimaon 3” 1918 alu' § ritnnlutastrr URING the past winter several members of the class of 1918 have asked me this question. “What are you doing this winter?” When I told them I was teaching school it was almost necessary to find some one to corroborate the statement. But when I stop to consider the matter, I do not wonder at their doubtfulness. Now if Claud Cully or Harold Ferguson should tell me, a year from now, that they were teaching school, I would probably say, Quit your kiddin’.” It would be hard for me to imagine either of them standing before a group of country school children, leading the singing for the opening exercises; or silencing some unruly chap by means of an ugly frown or by the use of a yard stick. 1 will say in passing that the latter method is much more effective. But wait just a minute! The fun is only beginning. Wouldn’t you like to see one of these boys occupying the teacher’s chair, with a class of six-year-old children gathered around him? And the teacher in a very stern manner asks little Willie to spell the word, dog.” Now William feels quite sure of himself and very promptly sings out. g-o-d.” Then Mamie, on being asked to spell cat, makes quite a task of saying “kitty.” About that time a pupil in the advanced geography class wants to know how to pronounce “Reikjavik.” What could be more distracting? One class follows another. Some of the pupils have good lessons, while others seem to have little or no understanding. Then it is interesting to notice the different means of torture administered upon those who do not get their lessons. Some of the inhuman devices resorted to may be quite shocking to the spectator. It may also be noticed that the poor pupil has no earthly means of self-protection. When recess comes, however, the unreformed offenders will probably try to get even with “The Teacher.” They may attempt to bind him. hand and foot, with old pieces of rope or even baling wire. If this proves unsuccessful, they will probably run in the house and lock the door on the inside. But a person with as much tact as either of the above mentioned boys possess, could easily convince them that for their own good it would be best to open up. It is not unusual for children to get sick while at school. For instance, Joseph S. might walk up to the teacher’s desk and say, “Mr. Cully, I’m sick.” The sympathetic Mr. Cully would doubtless inquire as to the region of the sick feeling and ten to one the little sufferer would lay his hand on that part of the anatomy that is affected when little boys eat green apples and say, Down there.” A little camouflage would doubtless be welcomed by Mr. Cully about that time. These incidents, with many others of a similar nature, fill the life of a country school master, brimful of amusing experiences that will never be forgotten.

S. to enter broader fields. We were proud that we had attained the honors of a graduation, proud of our record as a class, and proud that we were equipped to take our places in other activities of life. Those of us who have gone on to college have taken up our studies with a grim determination to do our best. As we entered our classes in the Fall, we had not yet forgotten that we had recently l een Seniors—wise and learned. Our dignity which we had acquired during our last year in High School had not lost itself so soon. Vet, somehow, within a few days, we began to feel the cruel pangs of ridicule. We could not understand for awhile, hut later on we came to realize that we were only Freshmen again! With a flutter, once more we came down to earth—this time with a vision of four years of college life before us. Placed in the midst of new surroundings, with people from all parts of this great country, we realized the task which faced us. This task of keeping ourselves ready for all emergencies to which we are called, presented greater difficulties, perhaps, than we had met before; hut with deepest gratitude to our High School training we felt ready to meet them. Perhaps the most marked difference of college life to High School life is the increased responsibility which each one must feel. In High School we felt that our teachers were hack of us ready to catch us if we fell in college, although our instructors exert every energy to help us, they do not seem quite so near. In classes the longer lessons were a source of worry at first hut soon we became accustomed to them and enjoy them. Never a day, as in “ye olden days,” can we skip or slide over a lesson—if we do, it is the beginning of the end, the awful end. So Freshmen—and others, too—I, as a Freshman, do wish to impress upon your mind the absolute necessity that you begin your career with a resolve to prepare each day’s lesson carefully and painfully, if it need be so, and more than this, stick to your resolution as you value your future college life. This is the only way to begin—I think I know for I’ve been there, too. Outside of classes and study, there is much which goes to make up real college life. The association with people from different schools, with new ideas and new inspirations, contribute much toward making stronger students. The close friendships which grow up from the clubs and societies are different from those in High School and seem even greater. Although we are surrounded by these new relations and experiences where our thots are directed always toward the future, we ever look backward and thank those teachers and those factors which have made us able to cope with these new problems. The memory of our High School days is a living inspiration to us and we shall put forth our efforts in the hope that J. II. S. may always he proud of the Class of ’17.

The cast was selected to conform as near as possible to the conception of the characters in the play and to their own adaptability to the part. Christopher Junior is essentially English in character and atmosphere. The scene is laid in England and the British possessions in India. The story concerns the trials and final rejuvenation of Christopher Jedbury Junior, a young man reputed to he a scapegrace and ne’er do well, but who in reality is to brand him as such a character. His father, who is a somewhat irras-cible gentleman, becomes estranged from his son because Christopher Junior does not agree to follow his father’s wishes concerning his future. The final break comes when Jedbury Sr. discovers that his son has been married secretly. Jedbury Sr. sends his son to India as a clerk in one of his mercantile houses. After he has been in Bombay for six months Christopher Jr. detects his father’s managing man, Mr. Simpson, in a series of frauds which the manager is perpetrating. He thwarts the scheme of Simpson, but in so doing is forced to communicate with his father thru his sweetheart, Dora, who has come to India with her uncle. Major Hedwav, and the union of the lovers takes place and Christopher is reinstated in his father’s good graces. There is a glimmer of humor thruout the play and wherever it is, it is always in good taste and does not spoil the plot nor is it in any way derogatory to the play. H.

I wonder where he got his ideas? “Probably from old England, replied Mark. “Once I went to a public exhibition of curiosities in London where was displayed the skull of Oliver Cromwell. “But this cannot In tin skull of the Great Protector, I said to the exhibitor, “for this is very small and Oliver’s head piece was extraordinarily large.” “ ‘Oh, said the exhibitor, ‘but this was his skidl when he was a little boy.’ ” To tell a woman you love her without doing so, and then to love her without telling her so, is the Alpha and Omega of flirtation. A PAINFUL NECESSITY Bridget O'Hoolihan. an elderly Irish cook, had been induced to go to a quiet little suburban town to live in a wealthy gentleman's family. Two weeks after her arrival she declared her intention of returning to the city. “Why do you leave us Bridget? asked her mistress, in a grieved tone. “We pay you the very highest wages.” “Ye do, ma’am, an' yer a perfect lady. Oi'm not lavin’ troo anny fault av de fam’ly, but this place is such a dead old place, wid no chance to do annything loively in it, that, begorrv, oi have to nick up a pack o lies iv’rv toime oi go to confession, or oi’d have nothing to confesh!” Did you ever notice the rapturous fervor with which the postman is sometimes received—not for himself, but for what he brings? Be sure that you have been in his position oftener than you know. (Dur AiUirrliurni Support rljnnl ArtinittCH. }Jatnmi=r Myer Bros.
