“The Crimson J ’ ’ P u b I Volume Nine ished by The Senior Class of Jacksonville High School in the year Nineteen Nineteen - Crimson 3 Staff MARGARET TODD, Editor-in-chief JOSEPH LINDLEY WILLIAMSON, Business Manager ELIZABETH COGSWELL ELOISE SMITH FLORENCE CLEMENT VINTON T. WOODS EMMA MAE LEONARD, Faculty Advisor jForeworft HE Senior Class of 1919 presents this Crimson J as Oa memory books and as a reminder of the many good times and severe trials of their high school days. This books is a brave little book for its existence has depended on the surmounting of many difficulties, the greatest being the fire, the flu and the War. One of the most patriotic things the class of ’19 ever did was to decide not to have an annual on account of war conditions. The cessation of hostilities on November 11 reversed these conditions. As school was closed because of the flu quarantine until January 2. it was not until then the class felt able to support a year-book. Also, the loss of our building made hours in which to work very difficult. Ws are sorry indeed to leave old J. H. S. but we sincerely hope that the following classes will graduate from and their Crimson J’s will be issued from a fine new J- H. S. iDe6icatioti £. tbe dlass of tftineteen hundred and nineteen, vtf dedicate this Volume of the drimson ”3” to our class advisor, ttiss TEmma 5lZae Xeonbard. wl)o bus made borself indispensible as a teacbor. guide and friend. ♦faculty H.

(Elass TCistor? $ One afternoon, having a few spare hours, I visited the High School. As I walked from room to room the days were vividlv brought back to me when I, myself, attended the High School. That same evening, seated before an open fire, having refreshed my memory by a few old, well thumbed copies of the Crimson J, I fell into a reverie concerning the days when the class of 1919 were attending High School. One by one interesting scenes flitted before my eyes. Once again I saw us as Freshmen, How innocent and childlike we were then! I saw our party at Dunlap Springs, our victory in the Nautilus contest, and the subsequent party, at which we attempted to dance, despite the wishes of Principal Collins. Then, again, I beheld the Inter-class Basketball Tournament and our defeat, and finally the last of May and temporary freedom. Once more, this time Sophomores, and under a new principal, again I lived over, in fancy, the class party at Smith’s, when the interferring upper classmen were put to rout. Again I saw the struggle of the Inter-class Tournament and another defeat. And so, to another May. Once again my fancy painted this class, this time Juniors, one step higher in the scale of evolution. Now our country was at war; and everywhere was the excitement of patriotism. The Y. M. C. A. campaign with everyone giving the limit, and, indicative of the amount pledged, a big thermometer, which finally had to have an extension on top of it! After holidays were over we experienced another defeat in the Class Tourney, which, by the way was becoming regular- But the thing that comes to me most clearly and most vividly is the fire! Who will forget that memorable night, when we saw our building and everything in it destroyed? In spite of this, however, a few days saw us settled in our new home, the school across the alley, and hard at work as usual. May brings another campaign, this time Red Cross, in which the High School set an enviable record, one to be proud of. Seniors! At last the goal was reached, the ambition of the Freshmen, the hope of the Sophomores, and the reward of the Juniors. It is true, we had no High School building; it is true, we had an enforced vacation of several months, with the prospect of making it up; it is true, we had no societies and few of the things that make High School life delightful, but, nevertheless, we were Seniors. This year saw many changes in the faculty, among them a new principal. The first thing of importance I recall, after our vacation, was the arrival of the long looked for Senior rings—those wonderful rings, with their “white gold.” The next great event was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Well do I remember the rumors, the counter rumors, that presaged this affair, and final- Page Twenty-nine. 1919 Ol)e (Trimson “3’’ 1919 ly the night itself—in which the elements all conspired against us in vain— the “elaborate spread”, and the many eloquent speeches. At last the final glory was reached, commencement. Will I ever forget it? The speeches, the white dresses, the serious looks, the fond parents, etc. Then, with our precious diplomas clutched tightly in our respective hands, we were duly graduated and launched on the sea of life. I awoke with a start. The fire had burned quite low, in fact, was almost out. As I replenished it, for the night was cold, I mused upon my dream. Or was it a dream ? Had it really happened ? It seemed so long ago. What had become of those friends of my youth? VINTON T. WOODS. Page Thirty Many years had passed since I had last heard of my fellow classmates of 1919 and I had often wondered about them; as one who grows old will wonder about the friends of his youth. Hearing of the Crystal Bowl and of the wonders which it could reveal I determined to put it to the test of informing me of my old classmates. So suiting the action to the word 1 got out my little plane and headed for the clairvoyant. After explaining my errand to the Mistress of the Bowl she gave me entrance to my Mystery Room and told me to gaze my fill. So I looked into the Crystal Bowl and after a few minutes the first thing to reward my patience was a glimpse of the president of our dear old class. Tip Carlson. He stood upon a brilliantly lit stage and from the movements of his lips I took it he was singing, and to a rapt audience. That vision quickly passed and was replaced by one that was familiar yet unfamiliar to me. One thing was sure, I was in Jacksonville again- Then it dawned on me that it was the once new and wonderful High School building of which we as Seniors had only heard tell, now somewhat the worse for wear and age. The scene moved inside the building and to a room where a number of people were gathered- From all evidences it was a teachers’ meeting, and with a start I recognized Elson Pires, Irene Groves, Louise Struck, Mable Tholen, Martha Priest and Roger Carter, the latter a living image of his father. Upon turning my attention to the principal who was presiding over the meeting I almost knocked the Bowl from its moorings for despite grey hairs, wrinkles and a greatly increased avoirdupois there stood Sid Hoblit beyond a doubt, behind the principal’s chair! Before 1 had time to recover from my surprise at this the scene passed and I was succeeded by one which puzzled me not a little at first, then I realized I was being shown through a residence street of my native city, the Page Thirty-one 1919 Z5l)£ Crimson “3” 1919 houses which for the most part were decorated by a sign which proclaimed this or that inmate to be a doctor. The scene became stationary before one of the most prosperous looking of these residences and a closer view allowed me to read the sign on it. To my amazement it read: “June Flinn, M. D., Influenza a Specialty.” Without giving me time to do more than gasp at this the picture changed and I found myself gazing at a boxing match, the participants of which I did not recognize but a sign hanging on the wall soon enlightened me. “Will wonders never cease,” I thought for the sign informed me that Bill Winchester, champion heavyweight was boxing with Jack Hanson a Swedish champion. Before I had a chance to determine which one of the boxers was Bill the scene had changed and 1 was looking into a church. The audience was entranced by the fiery tongued eloquence of their pastor and I gave him a second glance. The glance became petrified for the pastor of such eloquence that his audience sat rapt was none other than John Woods, now the Reverend John Woods. After that I would not have been surprised at anything which the Bowl might have shown me. In the next vision I was being shown the bright lights of Broadway in general and the brilliant entrance to one of the largest theatres in particular. Passing inside the theatre, I perceived a packed house which was loudly applauding four girls on the stage- On closer inspection I recognized Helen Jackson, Hilda Ator, Florence Cox and Ursula Fawcett beneath several layers of makeup. The next scene had shifted to a group of buildings which upon closer view proved to be the University of Illinois. Entering one of the buildings 1 perceived a classroom presided over by a professor with a flowing beard. Something about this gentleman seemed familiar and I searched my memory to discover which one of my former classmates he might be. It came to me suddenly that it was none other than Glenn Bridgman. This was perhaps one of the least of the surprises which I had received. The scene proceeded to another room which I knew to be a Domestic Science Laboratory. A familiar gleam in one part of the room caught my attention and beneath the gleam I rceognized Virginia Whitlock as Instructor of Domestic Science. The vision faded and what next flashed before my astounded eyes was a moving picture. The first slide read: “Frank Rexroat presents Catherine Parker in The Capers of Catherine, supported by Perry Correa. Scenario by Beulah Tice.” Before I could digest this I found myself readig the cast of character's: Catherine Paige, Catherine Parker; Tom Wilkins, Perry Correa; Clarrissa Muriel (the vampire), Loretta Yeck; Archibald Van de Vere (the villian), Harry Sandberg. Without giving me a chance to see the performance of these stars of filmdom the vision passed rapidly and I was next gazing at a large number of men. and women performing upon different instruments. A signboard in the rear told me that this was the famous Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. On closer inspection I recognized two violinists to be Mary Winchester and Marjorie Black. Page Thirty-two. 1919 Z3l)£ Crimson “3’’ 1919 The scenes which followed this passed in rapid succession and I will relate as briefly as possible what I saw. First a glimpse in Bellevew Hospital showed me Bonnie Woods as chief nurse, then I perceived Lucy Coover and Aileen Dyer conducting an orphan asylum very successfully, Harriet Dunlap on the chatauqua platform, Rose Henderson and Jeanette Miller Smith with the aid of Jeanette’s husband,David,forming an up-to-date farm and Marion Holkenbrink who had introduced a new kind of Kewpie doll as a famous illustrator and cartoonist. As quickly a sign over a prosperous looking office apartment informed me that Dr. Lawrence Baptist, wisdom tooth specialist had his office within. I next learned that Ida Widmayer was a rapidly advancing politician, that Lydia Hunt conducted a beauty parlor in New York City, noted for its dimple secrets, that Frances McDaniels and Catherine Hayden were teaching in the Booker T. Washington School in Tus Tuskegee, Alabama, and that Ruth Wells had married a preacher. The next vision showed me that Donald Williamson was a captain in the regular United States Army, that Elbert Lair was teaching Manual Training in a prominent eastern school, and that Harvey Gunn and George Matthews, both comfortably married, were prosperous farmers. Scenes as quick to come as to go allowed to catch a glimpse of Norbert Hagel performing with A1 Field’s Minstrels, of Edna Hobbs and Helen Smith running a ready to wear department store which was the Jacksonville Emporium’s only rival, of Amelia Middendorf and Catherine Gustafson holding important diplomatic stenographic positions, and of Gladys Howard as piano teacher with the Illinois Woman’s College. I next discovered that a number of my friends had forsaken the everyday walks of life for the alluring lights of the stage and the movie screen, namely, Lillian Hughett, who was making her debut on Broadway, Alma Mutch who was one of the most twinkling stars in flimdom and Ruby Young also a bright star. As quickly I learned that Ula Yeck and Esther Murphy were conducting a Young Ladies’ Private Seminary in Concord, Illinois, and that Dorothy and Esther Silcox had married brother farmers and were happily tilling the soil. The visions were now coming and going so rapidly that I hardly had time to recognize one person before the next was flashed before my stunned eyes. So as to the absolute veracity of the remaining scenes I would not swear, however, as nearly as possible I will tell you what I saw. First William Headen as coach at a large university, then Paul Gilbert as a farmer, Franklin Matthews a prospering Ford plane salesman, Frances Claus safely married to a stranger to me, Frank Carson propieting a large wholesale grocery, the Conboy sisters as private concert singers, Ruby Mann as a Latin teacher, Jessie Phillips married and living somewhere in the west, Edith Stewart writing poetry for a prominent magazine, James Smith as janitor for the Jacksonville High School, Mildred Henderson married to a former teacher in the Jacksonville High School, Irma Sibert teaching English and Grace Cook running a fashionable dressmaker’s establishment. These lightning visions suddenly stopped and for a moment all was black and I thought the clairvoyancy was at an end but slowly the black faded to a pale gray and cold shivers ran down my spine for I was now gaz- Page Thirty-three 1919 Ol)e (Erimson “H” 1919 ing in a graveyard dotted with cold white tombstones. Previous to this revelation it had not occured to me, astounding as it may seem, that I should find any of my classmates in such a place as this and with an awful dread I read the inscriptions on a group of tombstones laid side by side, as a closer observation gave me opportunity. First I counted them, there six in number. What could be the significance of this? Then I remembered that there had been six people on the staff of our Crimson J. The first inscription stated that there lay Margaret Todd, born July 25, died June 15, 1919- Similar lettering on the other stones informed me that Eloise Smith, Elizabeth Cogswell, Florence Clement, Vinton Woods and Lindley Williamson had suffered like fates. Then I noticed a large slab which stood in the exact center of the group. Sadly I read: Here lie the members of the staff of our Crimson J, passed away this fiftieth day of June nineteen hundred and nineteen, killed from overwork while heroically trying to make the Senior Annual of that year a success. To the loving memory of the deceased this monument is hereby dedicated by the SENIOR CLASS OF NINETEEN NINETEEN. JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

Sophomore Class Hfistor? “How do you do, Juniors and Seniors,” say we, who have reached the Sophomore stage of class metamorphosis; but who have not yet attai 'od that sphere only in the goodcomradship owned and operated exclusively by high schools and colleges. VVe look over our left shoulders and are confronted by innumerab'e green ties and we have a feeling akin to horror. “We were that once!” we whisper among ourselves. At the appointed time and place we held that well known ceremony, the class election. Miss Corzine, with the able assistance of Mr. Baird, became our chief guardian. As Gene Darr was our president last year we reelected him—following the custom of the present Juniors. Never wanting a stranger to be left outside, we elected Othello Yeck Vice-president. Contrary to rule, we have “ladies last”—Eunice Haerle, secretary, and Ruth Bradley, treasurer. The planning of that inevitable something we never have realized—the class party—came in due time after the election of the class officers. Accordingly, it was planned and we bought our individual shares in the affair from Mr. Baird. Before anything more definite than usual occured to prevent the party, something more definite and possessing more strength—than any sophomore at least—arose out of the distance, showed us the way away from the building, and then locked the door for eight weeks. At the end of that unlooked for time we were forced by the usual power to reenter. We Sophomores did not come back to have our party, but to “work and a ‘plenty.” One day our principal announced to us that from that day henceforth each class was to furnish an entertainment three days in the week. When our time made its appearance we made ours or procured (or begged) substitutes from the outside. To anyone who reads this: As all history was destined to be dry, don’t try to make yourself think this is interesting, because it could not be. HELEN E. ROSE.

Listen my children and you shall hear Of a wonderful class in its Freshman year. On the sixth of September, one-hundred and forty-one future Freshies arrived, and with the aid of H. C. H. managed to decide upon their High School career. On September ninth, we found our places on the south side of Study Hall and lent it grace. A few days later we had our first class meeting and elected four officers who have filled their offices satisfactorily. They are: President, Andrew Russel; Vice President, Reginald Reid; Secretary, Harold Hall; Treasurer, Georgia Hettick. For our faculty member we chose Miss Candee who has stood by us in all our trials and temptations. Owing to the extended visit of Mr. S. Influenza in Jacksonville, we deemed it necessary to discontinue studies so that we might turn our attention to the entertainment of the aforesaid gentleman. After our vacation of ten weeks we came back, and to make up the work that was missed, it was necessary to attend school six days of the w'eek. At another class meeting we ordered our class pins and at the time of this writing we are still watching and waiting for them. In the years to come when we recall the happenings of nineteen eighteen and nineteen, we will remember That was the year of the famous crusade, Which for the health of boys and girls was made. We did our chores and our score-cards kept Of the teeth we brushed and the hours we slept. In closing we w’ould like to say that ever since September ninth We’ve been trying to cram into each poor little head, Some knowledge of use to us before we are dead. —Francis Griswold, Elizabeth Johnson, Catherine Wilson. Page Forty-one THE BOARD OF CONTROL. The Board of Control was again organized, this being the third year of its existence. This year it is composed of the following members: Lindley Williamson, President; Ida Widmayer, Vice-president; Katherine Parker, Secretary; Vinton T. Wood, Manager and Mr. Hopkins, Faculty Advisor. The Board meets from time to time and discusses various questions appertaining to the athletic phase of the student activities. In this manner questions are decided with greater facility than if they were put before the student body as a whole. V. T. W. 1919 Z31)e (Trimson “3” 1919 David Smith: “Dave.” Capt., Center.

Page Forty-six. Ol)e tournament The Ninth District Tournament held in Jacksonville ended March 1st, with Jerseyville as victor. Jacksonville began holding tournaments in 1911. and won that tournament after having a hard fight with Pittsfield. The 1911 team was composed of the famous six footers; Spink, Tandy, Waters, Rodgers, Malone, and Fuller. The next year the tournament was easily won by Canton’s famous Swede team, who defeated Litchfield. Then again in 1913 Jacksonville won by defeating Mt. Sterling- Granite City won over Springfield in 1913, but Springfield gained a great deal of power and won the next three tournaments. Her team was at it’s best in 1917 when it was composed of Dunne, Eilson, Poscover, Jones and Clouser, and when it not only won the district tournament but also state honors. Jerseyville’s five did the same thing last year that they did this; won the tournament. Last year they defeated J. H. S. in the final game, but this year they defeated us in their first game and defeated Barry in the final one with a score of 29-24. This year’s tournament was one of the most successful ever conducted here, and with the exception that Jacksonville did not win the tournament, one of the most pleasing. The pupils of J. H. S. were very surprised and a little bit dubious when we drew Jerseyville for our first game, for Jerseyville had defeated us twice before this year. By the time that the first night of the tournament arrived they had regained a great deal of their good spirits and sportsmanship and were ready for anything. It was a woeful disappointment for all when Jacksonville was defeated. The rest of the tournament was very good with a number of surprises in store for all, both on the floor and on the sidelines. The total proceeds of the tournament were over $1400, which was splendid, considering that the price of admission was larger than ever before. The crowds, also were much larger, often filling the gymnasium so full that it was hard for the teams to play. The games in their order and with their scores are as follows: (1) White Hall 20 (8) White Hall 9 (15) Jerseyville 39 Benld 12 Rushville 25 Petersburg 12 (2) Rushville 17 (9) Girard 16 (16) Bluffs 15 Winchester 11 Jerseyville 63 Quincy 12 (3) Girard 14 (10) Petersburg 22 (17) Barry 29 Pittsfield 8 New Berlin 13 Rushville 17 (4) Jersevville 20 (11) Carlinville 20 (18) Jerseyville 64 Jacksonville 13 Bluffs 29 Bluffs 15 (5) Auburn 12 (12) Griggsville 8 Semi Finals Virginia 16 Quincy 33 (19) Rushville 32 (6) Barry 42 (13) Virginia 13 Bluffs 21 Chatham 8 Barry 32 Final (7) Franklin 6 (14) Mt.

The turnout to practice has been small since many who could find the time have found it to their interest to do otherwise. Because of this and because we have not had track meets in the last three years the athletes are all new to the game- In both the W. I. H. S. L. and in the Interscholastic meets we have made a poor showing.. However, the prospects for next year are bright and better results are to be expected. The Track Team for this year is as follows: Frank Douglas, Fred Lucas, Lindley Williamson, Frank Rexroat, David Smith, Frank Wolfe, William Heddon, Albert Arter, Francis Reynolds and Norbert Ilagel. J. L. W. Page Forty-eight SaxKu a-f i .-f Jpeace On November 11, 1918, the Armistice was signed. We were not in school on account of the “flu”, but in the peace celebration one could see almost any or all of one’s fellow students. Perhaps some people will say, “What difference does the signing of the Armistice make to the high school students? What have they done in the war anyway?” I will answer the last question first. What have the J. H. S. students done to help win the war? The first call that was made to the students was for Christmas comfort bags. In response one hundred bags were made and filled for our soldiers. Then came the Y. M. C. A. drive. The classes certainly showed their patriotism then. They raised in all about $726-When the students were asked to join the Junior Red Cross, they responded with 100$ membership. When Mr. Hoover started his conservtion campaign, did the high school girls sit down and say, “Let the women do it?” They did not! They started a Girl’s Canning Course. This was no easy course and the girls worked both at home and at school. They really learned a great deal about cooking, canning and conserving. Of course the boys did their share. They enrolled in the Boys’ Working Reserve, an organization promoted by the State Council of Defense. They went to the farms the first of May and worked from that time until school started last fall, earning bronze medals in recognition of their work in helping win the war. In the Red Cross Campaign last spring J. H. S. gave over a thousand dollars. Although the students were not in school at the time of the United War Work Campaign, both of them gave both time and money. In the Red Cross Campaign, the high school pupils were “right there.” The students have helped in every way they could- Our service flag has one hundred and thirty stars on it, seven of which are gold. And so, even if we are young, we have had some part in the winning of this war. And now in answer to the first question, “What difference does the signing of the Armistice make to the students?” In the first place there are our boys to think of. Some of them have been in the fighting line in France and some have made the supreme sacrifice. On registration day last September several of our boys registered. If the Armistice had not been signed thye might now be in training and those boys in France might now be lying in “Flanders’ Fields.” The next thought is of the new high school building. No class will ever realize better than this year’s Senior Class what the absence of a regular high school building means. We sincerely hope for the benefit of the coming Seniors that the new high school may be built without further delay. One of the smaller things which we can have as a result of the signing of the Armistice is this Crimson J. Anyone who has ever been a Senior knows just what an annual means to a Senior Class. They can appreciate our delight because we are able to have an annual even if it is smaller than usual. The number of things of real importance to the students that have been changed by the ending of the war is very great. We are all heartily glad that the war is over; we are glad that we have had even a small share in winning it. But we hope that none of the coming Senior Classes in J. H. S- will have to go though the experiences which we have gc ie through these last two years ;also we hope that whatever plan the Peace Conference adopts, that plan will bring about an international and lasting peace. —R.

U6eal of a Ufusban.6 First of all my ideal husband must have a good constitution, because of the fact that there is no way of knowing just how often he’ll get his meals, nor just what he’ll have to eat The food may be burned, and it may not be done, which ever way luck will have it; but if he has a good constitution it will not worry him at all. I suppose his looks come secondary. He must be tall and straight; with either gray, or blue, or brown eyes; with any color of hair, except red, and, of course, he shall not be allowed to dye his hair, which, I almost forgot, he certainly must not wear a wig. He must spend thirty minutes each day manicuring his nails, and must never look at “Beauty Hints” in the newspapers. He must take me out every night that I ask him to, but I solemnly promise that it shall not be more than seven nights a week. He must attend church with me on Sunday morning, and then hurry home and get dinner, while I gossip with the ladies concerning “The New Minister”, or “Mrs. Smith’s New Hat.” He must not smoke, except on his birthday, when he may have one-half a pipe full of tobacco. Each wedding anniversary he must give me a fifteen pound box of choclate eclairs, and thirteen dozen roses. In return, I will give one eclair to eat and one rose to pin on his coat. He must be able to mend his own clothes, and must cheerfully wear his last summer’s suit in order to buy me that “darling hat” in the millinery window. Last, but not least, he must never grumble over what he has to do, but bear it with a smile, which will be the most ideal part of him. —Marion Holkenbrink. My ideal husband must be tall, with black hair and blue eyes, but absolutely NO mustache. He must be a good dresser, but not fond of derby hats. As to his personal attainments, he must be a college graduate, musically inclined, and have brains with the ability to use them. As to his material wealth, he must be possessed of a $200,000 salary, a home in Florida, and one in Alaska, a Marmon car and a Ford, a yacht, and an Italian greyhound- As to his personal character, he must be kind hearted, generous, and very devoted, but not jealous. Elizabeth Cogswell. To whom it may concern: All applicants for my hand and heart please prick up your ears and take notice. My ideal husband (No. 1.) must be the possessor of oodles of money and must have one foot in the grave. Any applicant wearing a soup strain- Page Fifty-five 1919 T3be Crimson “3” 1919 er is positively ineligible; I also object to Charlie Chaplins and “baseball nines”, in fact anything resembling a mustache. After hubby No. l’s second foot is in the grave and I have neatly disposed of him I shall be ready to consider hubby No. 2. Anyone answering the description of any of Grace Richmond’s heroes will be duly considered. Anyone wishing to make application please bring reference to 211 N. Prairie not later than 1925. Margaret Todd. y v 36eal of a ife First of all I believe that a wife should be very kind and loving at all times, for this is very essential in raising children. I should prefer a blonde, one of medium stature, altho this may not appeal to everyone. She should never be harsh and cruel toward a loving husband, but very mild and gentle, and eager to greet him- She should be at the door and greet the husband with a welcome hand and a tender kiss. The husband would realize what he is living for and he could go about his daily work thinking of wife and “Home Sweet Home” to enlighten his toil. The wife must also have had the proper education and home training. For it is absolutely necessary that she know how to cook to some extent. She could make a few hot biscuits and a cup of coffee to stimulate the dear husband as he goes out in the morning to earn the daily bread. I do not think that the wife should remain in the house at all times. But I do believe that the husband should accompany her in the evening and go to some amusement and get some enjoyment out of life. These are only a few of my ideas of a wife and if these few are observed they will no doubt bring some enjoyment into the home. Perry Correa. Is a gentle, sweet, loving, meek, aimiable little creature whose father is president of the Standard Steel Cor., Co., Standard Oil Co , and for special members of the J. H. S. (LaCrosse Lumber Co ) or some little concern whose capital is enuff to give a moderate income. She must not object if her adoring hubby stays out about two nites out of the week to go to a stag party or play billiards. She should if father-in-law ever made any bequests turn them over immediately to hubby (women have no heads for business) who could keep it much more securely for which I would return love and kindness. And I suggest as her motto for harmony and welfare of the household “Love honor and obey” with special stress on the latter. Sid. An ideal wife is one that has a good disposition, and if you ask me to define hei disposition, I should cull it the outward, visible sign of her inward spiritual character. Of course, beauty is all right, but what is beauty if a woman has a bad temper? Beauty is not necessary, but it is a desirable featuz-e in a wife. Most women prize their good looks and their features moze than anj thing else, but an ideal wife will not neglect her home in order that she may beautify herself. She should, however, spend a few minutes each day to make herself attractive. She will look well at all times— even if company is not present. A man demands comforL-more than anything else in the world—so if a girl wishes to become an ideal wife she should learn to make her hus- Page Fifty-six 1919 Ol)£ (Lrimson “H 1919 band comfortable. An ideal wife will make the home so attractive that her husband will be anxious to get home, and also to spend the evenings there. The ideal wife should be able to play the piano, but she shouldn’t be afraid of a washboard. In other words she should be a good housekeeper- She must know how to prepare nourishing food for her family. She should always be cheerful while doing her housework, should have charming manners, and above all, should never lose her temper, especially, if things go wrong with her husband, and he gets home cross and out of sorts. She must not gossip, but she should be well informed on topics that interest him, so that she may be able to converse with him. If she would be ideal, she must be sympathetic at all times. She must not be afraid of a spider or a mouse. A woman may have all the ambition to be a real help-meet to her husband, but if she does not have good health, this will be impossible. My ideal of a wife should possess all the good qualities I have named Lawrence Baptist. In my estimation, my wife should be strictly culinary. She must have my meals on the table promptly. Then she must have just what I want— have it cooked just to suit me. Or I won’t eat it. She must have my meat rare and potatoes well done. She must do all the cooking and stay in the kitchen until all the scrubbing and washing dishes are done. She must not disturb me when I stay at home nights; but if I want to go she must not object under any circumstances. She must not belong to any club, or want to go out any night in the week. The woman’s place is in the home, not running around or mixing in folitics- Then she must serve my breakfast in bed on Sunday mornings and must not expect me to go to church. She must let me smoke where I want to and when. She must not chew gum nor want to spend one cent foolishly. She may go to the movies if she wants to—but not more often than once a week. More often than that is unnecessary and a waste of money. No woman will ever become my wife unless she signs this agreement. She must “love, honor, and obey”, but must not expect a return of this on my part. Roger W. Carter. First of all, my ideal wife must be exceptionally good looking and have very winning ways. She must have dark brown or black hair, and dark eyes. I am also very fond of pink, or rosk cheeks, so it might be well for her to have both. I shall expect many things from my ideal wife. She must have enough clothes when we get married to last at least three years. By that time I shall have enough money saved up to allow her thirty dollars for her clothes during the fourth year of our matrimonial career. I shall allow her sixty-five cents per week for her spending money. I shall expect her to make all necessary purchases for the table, and the grocery bill must not exceed $7-81 per month, and the meat bill $4.18 per month. I shall also expect her to pay the gas and electric bills each month. It will also be her business to see that the bills do not exceed $1.11 per month for gas, and $1.43 for electricity. In the summer time, when the weather permits, she will heat her dish water in the sun in order to save gas. I shall expect meat at the noonday luncheon, and also for dinner in the evening, and a variety of vegetables at all meals except breakfast. My Page Fifty-seven 1919 (Trimsott “3” 1919 wife must be a good cook and a neat housekeeper, and never make candy, cakes, or dainty dessert only when I specify them. She must stay at home and not run around continually. She shall be very careful about noticing other men, which I shall absolutely prohibit. She must not protest against my attending the club at least six nights a week,—and the seventh night I will probably want to retire early. I shall probably want to stage a little stag party at home about three times a month, and on those nights she must retire about seven P. M. so she will not meet the guests. On the evening I have these parties I shall expect her to have prepared a little light lunch, consisting of limburger cheese sandwiches ; and by all means to have the temperature 24 below. She must do her own washing each week unless she pays for having it done out of her weekly allowance. All meals must be served the same time each day, never late or never early. Any girl who thinks she would care to accept this offer and govern herself by the regulations herewith, will please meet me on Friday morning, June the sixth, 1919 at ten A. M., at the David Prince Gym, in the center of the stage. Norbert Hagel. My ideal of a wife? Well, now, that is not hard; For it’s always so easy to think of your pard. For a very long time she’s had a piace in my mind, And I’ll certainly be tickled when her likeness I find. With regard to her qualities, she must have first of all, A good sense of humor, but that is not all; Pleasing looks must she possess of a very high grade; A complexion of the kind that never does fade; A dimple in her chin, where all dimples should be; And teeth of a whiteness most dazzling to see. With regard to her hair, I should like it dark brown. On her face there must never be seen any frown. All household affairs she must efficiently transact; And manage the cook with the greatest of tact. The rooms of our dwelling should be kept neat and clean_____ In fact, of dirt not a speck must be seen. Thus I have outlined, from her head to her feet, The paramount requisites of this paragon sweet. And, if I should find her before I have died, In conjugal felicity forever we’d abide. Vinton T. Woods. Page Fifty-eight Ul)£ tto6ern IHealtt) (Trusa6e There came to our school, one beautiful day, a woman of great renown; She had a message she wished to convey to the scholars of this whole town. It was with regard to the health of ours: that health which we all should guard To keep in best trim all powers, thus preserving our bodies unmarred; To keep our hands and face always clean, and our fingernails the same; To wash our teeth each day, I wean, and outdoors to play some game; To sleep nine hours each night of our life,—which means all dancing forbidden, To continue in this ’til good health was rife and all our defects were hidden. In return for these many chores we did rewards were given for wage, Fifty-four chores per week by a kid won for him the rank of a page. Next a Squire he was, and in five weeks a Knight, and in fifteen weeks you bet, If he persevered with honor bright, he became a Knight-Bannerette! Thus we heard this message so wonderfully clear, and we started in with a vim; But alas for the Freshies, those Freshies so dear, their ardour began soon to dim. Next, the Sophomores, too, dropt out of the race, and the Juniors also declined But the Senior Class kept on apace—their strength was of the right kind. L’ENVOI. And so shall it be thru the whole of their life, while on this cosmical sphere, Unconquered shall they be in every strife, never considering fear; ’Til finally the time shall come at last to discard all mammon and pelf; They shall, with the courage that comes from the past, and with never a thot of self, Give up the ghost and go from this earth, as many have done before, And claim their reward for what they are worth for doing their earthly chore. —Vinton T. Woods. Page Fifty-nine .A Springtime U6?l m While the clouds in the west had grown misty and gray Up Park street one evening I wended my way. My heels were of rubber, no sound did they make; The least noise from the front I could easily take. Just ahead I did hear a slight whispering sound, It came from a pair that in love were enwound. Then quickening my pace I perceived at a glance ’Twas Ruth and her Harry just come from a dance! Then there came to my ears these words from ahead: (Though I did not half try to hear just what was said.) “No! No! Not here! It is much too light Someone might be passing and witness the sight.” But the swain was so sure that there was no one too near That soon had he vanquished the young maiden’s fear. Then I hurried ahead lest I should anything miss; For I felt in my bones that soon would they kiss. (This may seem to you a somewhat opprobrious act, But curiosity was so great that honor I lacked ) So they stopt ’neath the shade of an o’erhanging limb— She turned up her face and he kissed it with vim! Shades of old lovers, of ancient renown, Do you often on sights such as this one look down ? Thus is the tale, and every word is the truth; If you should doubt—just go and ask Ruth ! —V. T. W.

While we are glad when we realize that this much of our education has been accomplished, yet we are sorry indeed, that our high school days are over. The Baccalaureate Service will be held Sunday, June 1st in the Central Christian Church. Rev. Marbach of State Street Church will deliver the address. The Class Day exercises will be held Friday morning, June 6th, in the David Prince School. A capable committee has charge of the plans for this occasion and no doubt it will be one of interest. Friday evening, June 6th the Commencement exercises will be held. Dr. R. E. Hieronymus, Community Advisor for the Univei’sity of Illinois has been secured to deliver the address. —Elizabeth Cogswell- Junior-Senior banquet On Thursday evening, February 20, the Junior Class of the High School entertained the Seniors at a banquet at the Dunlap Hotel. Principal and Mrs. Hopkins and the faculty as well as the majority of both classes were present; the large dining room was filled. Lester Cornick of the Junior class acted as toastmaster. Florence Chapin, president of the Junior class gave the address of welcome and was folllowed by Principal Hopkins. Our distinguished president, Clifford Carlson, then expressed our appreciation of the courtesy extended by the Junior class in entertaing us in so royal a manner. Miss Leonhard, our Senior Class officer, gave the next toast from the adviser’s point of view and was followed by Miss Balcke, the Junior Class adviser. Lindley Williamson, the president of the Athletic Association, then entertained us in his original way and David Smith, the Captain of the Basketball team spoke briefly of the coming tournament. This banquet was one of the big events of the year and will long be remembered by those in attendance. —Jeanette Miller. Page Sixty-one Ol) £ prince (Efyap m This year the Seniors will present “The Prince Chap’’ as their last dramatic production in High School. It is regretted that the books were delayed three weeks, causing much trouble and making it necessary to have the date of production later than May third, the usual time. “The Prince Chap” is a charming little English play of the present day. William Peyton, a young American sculptor in England, is, one day, be-seeched by one of his former models, Mrs. Arrington, in her desperation, to take and care for her child, Claudia. It is very evident that Mrs. Arrington will not live long, so to make the mother’s death less hard, Peyton promises to take the child, in spite of all the difficulties he knows it will cause. Claudia proves to be a very winsome child and soon everyone, including Puckers and Runion, the household servants, is deeply in love with her. It is near Christmas time and Peyton, or “Daddy” as Claudia loves to call him, is planning one of the happiest times they have ever had. To make things better, he receives a telegram from his fiance, Alice Travers, saying that she has just arrived and will be with them soon. Claudia is alone when “Princess Alice” arrives who shows that she thinks it quite improper for Peyton to rear such a child as Claudia. When Peyton returns, Alice is very cool and disagreeable, showing him that he must either give up Claudia or his Princess Alice. Of course he refuses to part with the child, as she is becoming very dear to him. Alice leaves in anger and the same mail that returns Peyton’s ring and letters brings also the news of her marriage to Mr. Helmer. As the years pass Claudia grows to be a young lady and time slowly heals Peyton’s broken heart. Claudia is more lovely than ever, but not until Uncle Jack, one of Peyton’s artist friends, proposes marriage to her, does Peyton realize he has more than fatherly affection for her. With the return of Alice, after the death of her husband, Claudia is very unhappy and fears that “Daddy will love the Princess Alice more than me;” but Peyton has learned by bitter experience that his heart belongs to no other than his dear little Claudia. And so he is Daddy no longer when Claudia promises to be his wife and live happily ever after. Following is the cast: William Peyton........................................

We knocked them down, we knocked them daft, We knocked them o’er the floor. ’Til at the end of the first half, They staggered toward the door.

Page Eighty-four GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AND REWARDS ARE IN THE NEAR future for young men and women who qualify to be skilled accountants, trained executives, and private secretaries. THE ERA JUST AHEAD HAS PROBLEMS WHICH ONLY TRAINED minds can solve. New financial policies will be adopted and better operating records installed. More direct and effective cost systems and satisfactory income records must be devised. TRAINING EOR CLERKSHIPS WILL NOT BE ADEQUATE. TRAIN FOR BIG THINGS and get the reward and honor that go with fi large accomplishments. The opportunity will be yours if you prepare for it. NATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS ALWAYS PAY DEARLY FOR LACK of preparedness. It cost us MILLIONS in money and the ALLIES hundreds of thousands of lives. Preparation can do no one harm ; lack of it can do no one any good. The PRESENT is ALWAYS the best time. BROWN’S BUSINESS COLLEGE IS OPEN THE YEAR ROUND TO STUDENTS who wish to prepare for business.
