We realize that the loss is ours, not Palmer’s, but we feel that we have not entirely lost him either. The memory of each one of us clings to many pleasant thoughts of him, his friendly smile that almost never left his face, and the straight-for- ward manner with which he greeted everyone. His teach- ers and his classmates remember him as one who was loyal, modest, and sincere; his coach and fellow athletes remember him as one who played the game squarely from start to finish; and our heritage from him is the inspiration of his noble spirit, the influence of which will always be toward higher planes for all our school activities. We feel that Palmer knows that we remember and think of him often. V Mrs. W. D. Roberts Albert C. Metcalf C. A. Fiedler Dr. W. F. Duncan George S. Rogerson B. F. Shafer Dr. Carl E.

J. H. S. History KIKST IIIOII SCIIOOI. A comparison of the high school as described in the earliest report of the Board of Education and the high school of 1924, brings to light many inter- esting facts. Although grade schools had been established when Jacksonville was in its infancy, the first school resembling a high school was a High School Department”, established by I)r. Newton Bateman in the ‘‘West Jacksonville District School in the fall of 1851. Here, several young men were pre- pared for college by instruction in algebra, geome- try, Latin, and Greek. High schools at this time were still modern institutions, the first one in the country having been established in Boston in 1797, and there were many who opposed the establishing of any such school in Jacksonville. The main reasons for their opposition seemed to lie that there were three seminaries for young ladies, and Illinois College and Browns Business College for young men, and that taxes might be higher because of such a school. However, after a bitter struggle, the first high school was established in three rooms on the third story of the old Washington School, in September of 1857. The enrollment carried the names of thirty-six ladies and of eighty-two gentlemen, making a total of one hundred eighteen. The faculty consisted of a principal, a teacher of languages, a preceptress, and an assistant. Astronomy, Greek, philosophy, and rhetoric were among the studies in their curriculum. For five years, the school furnished only a three year course, but in 1872, the first class was graduated from a full four year course. It is interesting to note that the three graduates were ladies, and that the commencement program in- cluded a Latin Salutatory, a German Drama, and a Greek Declama- tion. In 1874, just fifty years ago, the graduating class consisted of two ladies. The high school was housed in these three rooms until 1888, when it was moved to an old building on the present site. Here it remained, until it grew to such an extent that in 1902, a new one w'as erected. In 1918, this structure burned, and then work was begun on the present building. During the lapse of time, the sessions were held in David Prince Building. The Class of ’21 had its commencement exercises in the new school, but it was not until the fall of 1921 that regular sessions were conducted in the new place. This school differs greatly from the original Washington High School of three rooms. The pupils now have forty-seven rooms in which to gain knowl- edge, and a faculty of thirty-two members. The course of study includes all those things which are taught in the first class high schools of the country. In the year 1924, one hundred twenty-eight Seniors will receive diplomas for completing the prescribed course. So much has been done for the high school pupils, that when they become voting citizens, they cannot fail to appreciate the needs of the ward schools. For as Talleyrand says: The chief object of the State is to teach children to become, one day, its citizens. It initiates them, in a manner, into its social order by showing them the laws by which it is governed. This elementary instruction is a debt which society owes to all, and which it must pay without the slightest deduction.” A KIKST CKAIX'ATK Page Fourteen wmmmmm. Ah we wander down I he hall way Of the great school. J'ville High School. Varied are the things we hear there, When we pass the different classrooms.

Fond Memories Way back in nineteen twenty-one, Our great career had just begun; For we were Freshmen, young and gay, Who flitted to and fro each day. Then came old nineteen twenty-two. Our efforts surely put us through. For Sophomores always make the grade. And glory in the triumph made. In nineteen twenty-three, “Hurray! We’re Juniors now,” you’d hear us say. Bach one had done his very best, And perseverance won the test. But now, in nineteen twenty-four. We’ve reached the goal, we’ve made the score. Farewell, old Class, who stood as one. Our play is o’er—Life’s work's begun. Kathryn Montgomery, ’24. Thru the Years When you come here as a Freshman, And you’re feelin’ kinda small, N someone says, “Are you a Senior?” And you’re not one—not at all; When you take a test in Caesar And your heart’s begun to quail, 'N Miss Moore hands back your paper And you find you didn’t fail; When you’ve asked her to “the” banquet. And she just lets you guess, N you’re sure that she’ll refuse you And then she tells you “yes ; When you’ve worked four years in high school And in everything you’ve passed, ’N it’s graduation evening And that diploma's yours at last; Oh boy! Ain’t it a grand ’n glorious feeling! G. M. T.. ’24.

The fall hadde come and high school hadde begunne, And every streete was filled with pupils gay With shiny faces and diverse array. And specially from every corner's ende Of Jacksonville to their High School they wende. Their strict and severe teachers for to seke. That them hath holpen five days in the weke, Bifel that, in the building there were seen Wonne hundred Freshmen very yonge and green. But of these youngsters you shall hear much more, For they became the Class of Twenty-Four. Kre long, their wisdom to the school was showne, Whan their election returns were made knowne. For Lewis, Curtis, Baldwin, Palmer Hunt, Of their work were made to bear the brunt. In athletics, debates, and parties too. They showed full well what that bright class could do. From early fall thru winter's hail and snow Until in May to classes they didde go. Full four years stayed this class at high school And well they managed to break every rule. Whan a Carnival stunt the Juniors hadde. The characters were surely far from hadde. For “Baby” Benson pledged himself for lyfe To l e Harold Hopper’s little, blushing wyfe; And whan they gave a Prom in twenty-three. They hadde much fun and great hilarity. Whan they were Seniors, with great dignity, Well didde they show superiority: For Hopper ledde his class to great renown: Well was it known throughout the entire town. Whan Spryngtyme came with every dred examine, Than didde the Seniors surely start to cramme. Whan smale fowles maken melodye, They studied all the night with ot en ye. For peevisch teachers would not let them shirk. And each wonne hadde to do some awful work. But graduation evening came at last. And than the ones who those exammes hadde passed, Grabbed their diplomas and were seen no more, For they hadde gone—this Class of Twenty-Four. (This metre just refuses to behave. Whan Chaucer hears it. he’ll turnne in his grave). Georgia Terhune, ’24. 'age Twenty-three ■ MARGARET CURTIS Vice-Pres. Class 1-2-4. Student Coun- cil 3. Girls’ Club 2-3-4. Vice-Pres. Girls Club 3.

Page Fifty-nine Prophecy HE evening’s radio program thus far had been the usual round of jazz, bed-time stories, market reports, and the like. I had tuned in on countless stations without finding any variety save the ceaseless popping and cracking of that demon which is known to the radio world as “static.’ I kept turning the dials in growing disgust and finally gave up in despair. I started to remove the head receivers, when suddenly I stopped, my hand poised in mid-air and my eyes staring at the dials. To my amazement, they were slowly and jerkily revolving. There came to my ears a sound as of rushing waters and of the wind howling among the pines on a mountain top—and then a complete silence. I again looked at the dials. They had stopped. It seemed as if I had encountered a new sphere. No longer did I hear the popping of the static. No longer did I catch occasional drifts of jazz, market reports, or bed-time stories. The very silence was different from anything my ears had ever en- countered. Suddenly out of the strange stillness, came a voice, as clear and distinct as tho it were but a few feet away: “This is station F-U-T-U-R-E, Futurist’s City, Futurity, Lynford Reynolds announc- ing. Our prominent scientist, Willard Johnson, with the aid of his able assistant, John Welsh, thinks he has discovered how the inhabitants of the Land of the Future may com- municate with the Land of the Present. This program tonight is for the purpose of giving their plan a trial. Since it is being broadcasted to the Land of the Present, and since the great desire of the inhabitants of that land is to know what is coming to pass in the Future, it is only fitting and proper that they should learn of the deeds of our foremost men and women. I shall now give the evening over to Mr. Leavitt Arnold, our famous orator—Mr. Arnold.” “Friends, great is the task set before me, so great that 1 shall begin almost imme- diately upon the recitation of the accomplishments of our best known citizens. But first. I shall classify them, and that is the least of my task, for, without exception, the people who have made themselves famous for their wisdom, genius, and personality are mem- bers of the class of ’24, which existed for four short years in Jacksonville High School in the Land of the Present. Let me tell about them, not in any logical order, but just as they occur to my mind. Page Sixty Harold Hopper, contrary to all exportations, is enjoying a literary career. He recent- . a rote a very helpful article for the American Magazine’ on ‘The Blushing Habit and How I Overcame It. •‘New York City’s best known and patronized taxi line is owned and operated entirely l� y women. It is known as the ‘Green Taxi Line’, and chief among its employees are Grace Burrus, Dorothy Allen, Gladys James Adkins, Maurine Bradley, Kathryn Mont- gomery and Alma Winter. Grace Boddy has married Harry and is perfectly happy, while Dorothea Pearson has charge of London’s largest hospital. News has just been received of the results of the world circling race between five of our most daring aviators: Bed Harrison, Charles Race, Bob Reid, Bill Kitner and Kid Dodsworth. Dodswortb came in just a few feet ahead of Race, making the circle in two hours. Mrs. Allen Smith, formerly Georgia Terhune, has given up her career as a French teacher, and has lately taken up the study of diatetics. When one looks at her, well, one might say slender husband, one does not doubt the wisdom of such a step. Among the favorites of Hollywood are: Ethel Cornick, Aileen Rabjohns, Margaret St ruck, Margaret Curtis, and Wilma Ruyle. Wilma is a second ‘Baby Peggy.’ The mas- culine residents of that community wiio are enjoying popularity are: Earl Tilton, Jack Benson, George Baxter, Henry Boston, the Cook twins, and Shiek’ Sanders. Sanders won’t play opposite anyone but Margaret. Sam Osborne, I’m sorry to say, is now a raving maniac. Dr. Philip Bradish says that his condition is due to the unusual strain which he underwent while assistant Busi- ness Manager of the ‘J’ in the Land of the Present. He spends his whole time frantically writing out checks and receipts, and checking off names. To everyone who comes near him, he asks, ‘Paid for your J yet?’ If given a check book and pen, he is perfectly happy, but if deprived of these, he becomes violent. However, so great has been the advance in science, that Dr. Bradish says that he can be cured in two months. The members of the Orange Sock Basketball Team, World Champions are: Alma Lindsay, captain, Helen Kirby, Margaret Piepenbring, Lucille Harber. and Mary Louise Roberts. Bill Lewis is their manager. “Dorothy Ellis, Lola Hoover and Dorothea Warden are doing great work taming and converting the savages in the wilds of Africa. Dorothy talks to them: Lola cooks for them; and Dorothea sings to them, and all three methods are equally successful. Grace Wiley. Ernestine Sibert and Helen Phelps are Science, Latin and English teachers, respectively, in Denver, Colorado. Lucille Riggs and George Schmalz are conducting a dancing school, very fashionable ami select. Ernest Olds is still managing the world famous orchestra, ‘The Elite Six’ in which Russell dimming plays the banjo. At times, they play in the Riggs-Schmalz dancing school. Lee Baldwin sways millions with his power of oratory, while Edith Ruyle recently wron a prize for being the World’s Worst Arguer. Among our foremost statesmen are: Richard Arnold. Raymond Zell.

They report that the people up there are very friendly and their airplane was laden with all kinds of queer costumes. “Among the stenographers and book keepers of the country who have become known for their speed and accuracy are Freda Collins, Barbara Cooper, Nettie De Frates, Hvelena Ferreira, Kdna Landreth, Beulah McCarty and Helen Young. “We think that Ruth Leavenworth has at last overcome her habit of being late. She was actually on time at her wedding. “Harry Stone is becoming famous and his name is coming to be classed with those of Caruso, McCormick and other famous singers. “Helen Marks is now a rival of Paderewski. “‘Poor Ed Moy’ as he is most commonly known, has never recovered from the shock of receiving a diploma from Jacksonville High School. He forever carries it with him, and even when he eats, he lays it carefully on the table, gazing at it fondly throughout the meal, and between bites he picks it up and feels of it, seemingly unable to believe that it is real. “In the Central Park at Jacksonville, Illinois, is a statue of a handsome dog. To this statue, many pilgrimages are made, and many are the tributes paid to “Mugs’, the dog that was mascot of such a famous class as that of ’24. “Miss Merrill, who successfully steered that class through the many perils of High School life has become—” I strained my ears to catch this interesting bit of news, but again had come that strange silence. I looked at the dials, and, discovering that they were again beginning to turn, I grasped them frantically, that I might not lose touch with the Land of the Future. But slowly and steadily they turned, twisting my hands as they did so. Again I heard the howling wind and the rushing water. Then “Crack-bang-pop!’’ went the static, and a soft, purring voice said, “Listen my children, and I shall tell you about Little Goldilocks and the Three Bears.’’ Helen Phelps, ’24.

Early that autumn, we held our first class meet- ing and elected our officers as follows: President, John Bolman, vice-president, Helen Dial; secretary. Joyce Lander; treasurer, Eudora Mllburn; member in Student Council, Eleanor Andre; faculty advisor, Miss Madden. Not wishing to abandon a long established custom, we arranged a program for the annual Hallowe’en party. Each member of the class will remember how, later in the year, we displayed our dramatic ability at the Carnival. The Freshman Quartette, composed of Eleanor Andre. Faye Carroll. Saralee Ruyle and Margaret Williamson gave distinction and brought honor to the Class of ’25. We also demonstrated our ability in athletics and in all inter-class contests. SECOND YEAR In September, 1922, we began another year in J. H. S. The year passed so quickly, and our activities were so varied, that they cannot be enumerated. As Sophomores, we elected the following officers: President. Farrell Crabtree; vice- president, Eudora Milburn; secretary, John Morris; treasurer, James Vosseler; Student Council representative, Faye Carroll. We participated in the Carnival, and continued to live up to our good reputation. Later, we enjoyed a wiener roast at Nichol’s Park. In the spring, at the Interscholastic Meet, Lyndle Conboy won first place in violin, and Eleanor Andre, first in voice. We also had representatives on the Inter-Society de- bating team. THIRD YEAR In 1923, we returned to J. H. S. to begin the second half of our High School work. We elected the following for officers for the Junior year: President, Kenneth Thomson; vice-president, Florence Cranwill; secretary, Virginia Smith; treasurer, Edwin Saye; member of Student Council, Vera Coultas; class advisor. Miss Mulberry. We were sorry to lose Miss Madden, but we felt fortunate in having Miss Mulberry to take her place. There is abundant proof that the Class of 1925 is a very exceptional group. We had the highest per cent of “E” grades in the school during the first semester. We were vic- tors in the “Exhaust” contest, and we have a picture of the Coliseum at Rome as a reward for selling tickets at the Art Exhibit. We were by no means out of the school activities. George Metcalf was assistant editor of the “Exhaust”, Robert Brown was assistant business manager, and Louise South- well, class reporter. As our stunt for the Carnival this year, we portrayed a Spanish scene, which reflected credit upon the class and was enjoyed by all. The Juniors also took an active part in the History Pageant, “The March of the Ages.” “Nine ’rahs for the athletes of the Class of '25! Don’t forget, we shall be Honorable Seniors next year! Lucy M.

ANY, many years ago, so History records. The tomb of King Tutankahmen was discovered by explorers, 'Twas over two thousand years ago. and papers now proclaim Both far and wide at eventide, a new, yet wide domain. The tomb of Hildreth Ash wood and her famous Sophomore Class Has come to light and given us prized records of the past. The manuscript found with them tells us of many facts. Of leaders, and stunts, and conquests, and numerous other acts. It tells how they entered J. H. S. as Freshmen of Twenty-three, And speakd of their wonderful success, their pep and ability; How some of their members played football, that ancient, forgotten game; Some sang; some made the Dramatic Club. In every way they won fame. Their officers that year were able, apparently chosen with care; Fitch, President; assistant Bill Wilson; Strandberg, Lander, officers rare! At the Carnival during their Freshman year, they presented the Snuggles gang. And the other classes, and public too, promptly their praises sang. Next year ,they returned to J. H. S., with added vim and pep, Determined to add to their prowess, and they certainly made a good “rep”. That year, David Lander presided in the “presidential chair”. His able helper, Laura Young, as Vice President surely “was there”. Secretary Margaret Forrest kept track of the records clean. And Harry Capps as Treasurer managed well his regime. Next came the Thanksgiving Carnival, and here much laughter they caused. For their cleverly written “jazz wedding” won loud and hearty applause. Again in dramatics and music, as well as in other things too, They made people sit up and notice” what hard working Sophomores could do. Next was the basket ball season, and in many and many a game, Wilson and Fitch and Conkle and Smith helped the team to win fame. Miss Ashwood deserves much credit for the time and work that she gave In keeping them peppy, and making the unruly behave. And this (says the Jacksonville Journal) is all that this paper records. And in spite of much work and research being done by our explorers. We have as yet found nothing that tells of later days, Of these famous, wondrous Sophomores, of their habits and their ways. However, we hope to have, before many more days pass A finished, complete history of Miss Ash wood’s Sophomore Class. ’Til then, we shall live in expectancy, hoping each day to hear more Of this talented, brilliant, illustrious class, the Sophomores of Twenty-four!

Page Seventy-three ORGANIZATIONS (jirls’ Club N 1922, some girls who felt the need of a purely girls’ organization got together, and with the help of Miss Rossiter, formed the Girls’ Club of Jacksonville High School. Their first enrollment carried the names of two hundred girls. They sponsored a Coffer-Miller play, the ‘ Rivals ’, and cleared over one hundred dol- lars, which they used in buying some pictures for the school. Later in the year, the cabinet of the club gave a banquet for the “J” men. The next year, since Miss Rossiter had left the school, the place as advisor of the club was ably filled by Miss Tilbe. This year another Coffer-Miller play, “The Imaginary In- valid” was sponsored, and some more much needed pictures were bought. During the year, a nation wide movement called the “Clean Speech and Clean Life Campaign was on foot, and the members of the Girls’ Club benefited from their efforts to help make it a success. This last year, it was again necessary to elect a faculty advisor because of the resigna- tion of Miss Tilbe, but another wise choice was made when Miss Golden was chosen to take her place. The Club again proved its usefulness when it bought a piano for the girls’ gymnasium. The University of Illinois Glee Club concert was sponsored by the girls this year, and although not a financial success, it was greatly enjoyed by the music lovers in Jacksonville. The enrollment for this year was greatly increased, and it is felt that the Girls’ Club of Jacksonville High School has become a firmly established organization. Helen Phelps. ’24. Page Seventy-five Hi-Y Club HE first meeting of the Hi-Y Club was held at the State Street Church. At this meeting, Mr. Vasconcellos, the retiring advisor, made his farewell speech and introduced Rev. Marbach as the new advisor. Among the many activities of the club this year were: The sponsoring of the oratorio, “The Messiah”; the drawing up of a new constitution; the presenta- tion of the necessities for a new “Y” building in Jacksonville, before the Y. Board of Directors; the induction of new recruits as members of the Club, his writing, the plans for the future are: The sponsoring of a County Older Boys Conference in Jacksonville; the creating of public sentiment for a new Y. M. C. A. building in Jacksonville; the staging of a social function; the launching of a clean life and self analysis campaign. The officers for this year were: President—Lee Baldwin Vice-President—Wi 11ard Johnson Secretary—Louis Card Treasurer—Edwin Saye Sargeant-at-Arms—Harold Hopper M. C. A. At t Louis Oard, 25. mm The Mechanical Engineering Clnh FTER there had been much talk of organizing a Mechanical Engineering Club, a meeting of the boys who had taken two years of Mechanical Drawing was call- ed. Fourteen boys were present at this meeting and on November 7, 1923, the Mechanical Engineering Club was organized under the supervision of Mr. John May, instructor in Manual Art and head of the Printing Department. The aim of this club was to create more interest among the students in drawing and to lore knowledge of the engineering side of the question. The meetings were held regularly every two weeks, and the following officers served for this year: President—Charles Race Secretary-Treasurer—Homer Campbell Program Committee Chairman—Homer Campbell Homer Campbell. 24. obtain Page Seventy-seven Penmanship Business Forms Department ENMANSHIP is developer! first by the movement—getting a swing—muscular movement. A victrola helps greatly in this. Three things do the writing: muscle, last two nails sliding, and the pen. After this has been learned, slant and letter form are taken up. Students work for awards: first, the twenty-five drill button: then the hundred drill button, or Frogress Pin; and then the High School Certificate. The members of the American Penman Club work for the American Penman Cer- tificate. We have about thirty members in our American Penman Club, some of whom are excellent writers of whom we are very proud. Myrtle Moores Page Seventy-eight History Club HR History Club was organized in 1922 with a small membership, but during the last year, it reached its limit of thirty. The purpose of the club was to further interest in History among High School students so that they would not think of it as “just one dry old date after another.’ The Society met every alternate Tuesday, at which time interesting pro- grams composed of talks on historical and modern events, people, and places were given. The first year, the study of Greek and Roman mythology was taken up, while during the last year, the different countries were studied. On several occasions, outside speakers talked on Germany. Egypt and Spain. The chief activity of the society was the part which it took in the historical pageant, “March of the Ages.” The officers for the year were: President—George Metcalf Vice-President—Louis Gard Secretary— Treasurer—Dorothy Allen Advisor—Miss Ruyle Dorothy Allen, ’24. Page Seventy-nine Radio Club HE Radio Club started out this last year with all of its original “pep” and en- thusiasm which had accumulated from the previous year. Many improvements have been made during the two years of its existence. New members have been taken in; new plans have been outlined and carried out; and a radio set has been bought for the school. The club was both for amateurs and experts, and it contained good repre- sentatives from both classes. The Radio Club was organized for the purpose of increasing and advancing interest in radio, and all of its success was the result of the cooperation of Mr. Agger, the coach. The officers for the year were: First Semester President—Robert Reid Vice-President—Harold Hembrough Secretary—Lynford Reynolds Treasurer—George Ardinger Marie Roberts, 24. Second Semester President—Merle Martin Vice-President—Lynford Reynolds Secretary—Marie Roberts Treasurer—Lena Buchanan Page Eighty Home Economics Club —y HE Home Economics Club, organized in the fall of 1923, was a new organization in the High School this year. The purpose of the club was to stimulate interest and activity in home economics work. The meetings were held bi-monthly, one meeting being of a business nature, and the other, social. At the beginning of the club's career, the members introduced themselves by giving a clever stunt in assembly. Their next appearance, which gave an example of their pep”, was in an impersonation of the faculty for the J” stunt. It is hoped that in future years, the Home Economics Club will be one of the most important organizations of the .Jacksonville High School. The officers for the year were: President—Alma Winter Vice-President—Inez Winter Secretary-Treasu rer—Etidora M i 1 bu rn Advisors—Mfss Newman, Miss Ross, Miss Munson Eudora .Wilburn, '25 Page Eighty-one J. H. S. “Exhaust” HE positions on the J. H. S. “Exhaust” this year were filied by the winners of an editorial contest, of which the judges were Miss Moore, Miss Ruyle, Miss Dell, and a committee from the Senior class. Aileen Kabjohns was awarded the posi- tion of Editor-in-Chief, and Theodore Wetzel was selected by the class to fill the position of Business Manager. This was the second year of our membership in the Illinois State High ress Association, and Aileen Rabjohns, George Metcalf, and Theodore Wetzel were the representatives sent to attend the meetings of the Association held at Champaign. During the year, the staff, supported by Mr. Shafer and Mr. May, bought one hundred pounds of type for the Printing Department. In the second semester, we sponsored a class in journalism, the same amount of credit being given for the work as is given for the same amount of time spent in a regular clas-?. The staff also furnished a corner of Room 304 which it used as an office during the greater part of the year. Much gratitude and many thanks are due to Miss Moore, Miss Dell and Miss Ruyle, the faculty advisors, who at all times worked so faithfully and willingly with the staff. Aileen A. Rabjohns, 24. School Printing Club HE Printing Club, known as the “Devils of the school, was one of the new 24 organizations. At the beginning of the year, Harold Hopper was chosen to be the President, while Floyd Sanders was elected Vice-President. Earl Tilton and Junior Harr were also chosen to help officiate, Tilton as Secretary and Barr as Treasurer. ? 3 The Printing Club's greatest feature was the “Knockout”, a snappy, trite paper which attracted much attention in J. H. S. The “Exhaust” was also printed in this department, and by splendid co-operation was made bigger and better. Stationery for Christmas gifts and programs for the tournament were some of the many print shop products. Much credit is due to Mr. May. who was the advisor and teacher of this club. Earl Tilton, '24. Page Eighty-three Forum HIS year was the Forum’s fifth year as one of the organizations of Jacksonville High School. The membership role included twenty students, all of whom de- rived great benefit in public speaking and in debating from this society. The society met every two weeks on Wednesday. The programs included a debate on some important question of the day, orations, essays, extempor- . - ' i aneous and impromptu talks, declamations, and musical numbers. For a change of menu, humorous debates were often held. The Forum was fortunate in having five of the eight Tri-City debaters come from its ranks The Forum, with the enthusiastic cooperation of the Junior Senate is hoping to de- velop debating in J. H. S. to such an extent that the students will not think of its being too dry to listen to, but as a real feature in school life. OFFICERS President—Lee Baldwin Vice-President—Louis Card Secretary—Edna Aldrich Treasurer—Eudora Milburn Sergeant-at-Arms—Kenneth Thomson Advistor—Miss Leonhard Edna Aldrich, ’24. Page Eighty-four Junior Senate V3 HE Junior Senate debating society, in its third year of existence, gained great prominence and renown among the organizations of Jacksonville High School. The society had as its purpose the promoting of interest in debating through- out the school. To effect this, it held meetings every two weeks, at which de- bates were held, and debating topics were discussed. One of the features of each meeting was the talk on the principles of debating given by Coach Franklin Scott. The society slowly but surely gained recognition on the Tri-City debating teams, which represent Jacksonville in the debates with Springfield and Quincy. In its first year, it secured no place on the regular team; in the second year, it had one representa- tive on the team; and this year it had two. Members this year secured pins to show their affiliation with the organization. The pins are in the shape of a gavel, having the words Jr. Senate” on the handle, and the initials J. H. S.” on the barrel. Much of the success of this society was due to the work of Franklin Scott, the coach. The Junior Senate wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Scott for all his efforts in its behalf. The officers who guided the organization the past year were: President—George Metcalf Vice-President—Edith Ruyle Secretary-Treasurer—Georgia Terhune Critic—Sheldon Nicol Sergeant-at-Arms—Harold Hembrough Chairman of Program Committee—Aileen RabJohns George Metcalf, 25. Page Eighty-five Affirmative Team Dorothy Ellis, Captain Edna Aldrich Louis Gard Kenneth Thomson FTEK months of discussion and disagreement a Tri-City debate was again arrang- ed for Jacksonville, Quincy and Springfield. The question selected was: Resolved, That the Johnson bill is the best means of restricting immigration into the United States.” Although the number of contestants was not large this year, the ranking was close and after a hard struggle the judges selected Edna Aldrich, Dorothy Ellis, Louis Gard and Kenneth Thomson to meet Quincy at Jacksonville. They went hard at work under the supervision of Miss Leonhard and promised to put up a strong fight when they met their opponents on April 30. Page Eighty-six Negative Team Edith Huyle, Captain Ina De Bord George Metcalf Sheldon Nieol I)ITH HUYLE, Ina De Bord, George Metcalf and Sheldon Nicol, made up the Negative Tri-City team which went to Springfield on April 30, to prove to the S. H. S. debaters that ‘The Johnson Bill is by no means the best means of restricting immigration into the United States.” Mr. Scott was in charge of the team and worked hard to try to bring home a victory for old J. H. S. Edith ltuyle, ’24. Bag!� Eighty-seven Agriculture Club HE Jacksonville High School Vocational Agriculture Club rounded out the second year of its career with a membership of thirty-five boys who enthusiastically backed the program of the club. The work this year was especially interesting and worth while. The pro- grams consisted of lectures by prominent farmers and men of the State Depart- ment of Agriculture, and talks by members of the club. Basketball and baseball teams, wrhich were the source of much interest. w ere organ- ized. This year was also marked by the securing of a neat club pin. Besides the business meetings, the club had some good times at social events, such as the agriculture round-up, banquets, hikes, and camping trips. Such an increased interest has been shown this year, that greater things may be ex- pected in the future. The officers were: President—Daniel Hoover Vice-President—Horace Garfield Secretary-Treasurer—Harold Hembrough Advisor—J. H. Loomis Harold Hembrough, ’25. Page Eighty-eight Dramatic Club HE Dramatic Club completed a year of great success and activity. A few weeks after school opened, the annual ••tryout was held in the music room, and about eighteen new members were admitted into the organization, increasing the total membership to thirty-eight. Meetings were held on alternate Tuesdays, and programs of drama and music were enjoyed by the society at this time. In December, Oliphant Downs play, “The Maker of Dreams, was given before the student body in assembly. This is one of the most charming of the many Pierrot and Pierrette sketches, and splendid interpretations of the three characters were enthusiastically applauded by the audience. “Little Women. Louisa M. Alcott's famous and much loved book, dramatized into a four act play by Marian Forrest, was chosen as the big play of the year. This was pre- sented to a large audience, on the night of February the twenty-first in the High School auditorium. All of the actors played their parts well, and displayed real talent in the handling ot the different roles. Miss Gorham deserves much credit and praise for the way she worked to make this year a successful one, and the members hope to have her with them next year. The officers of the club were: President—Dorothy Fiedler Vice-President—Farrell Crabtree Secretary—Elizabeth Wainright Treasurer—Russell Dunlap Assistant Treasurer—Elinor Ames Dorothy Fiedler, 26. Page Eighty-nine I .e Cercie Francais E CERCLE FRANCAIS was organized in September, nineteen hundred twenty- three. It began its second year of existence with an enrollment of seventy members. The purpose of this organization was to increase the interest of the students in French and to study the customs of the country. The meetings were held every other week, and programs consisting of songs, stories, and plays were given. We were also fortunate enough to hear talks by people who had travelled in France. The officers who were elected for this year were: President—Georgia Terhune Vice-President—Elizabeth Goodale Secretary- -Laura Young Treasurer—Rae Wilkinson Program Committee, Chairman—Grace Fitch Laura Yount;, '26 Page Ninety Art Class HR ART CLASS accomplished much in the way of improvement in the quality oi their work during the last year. The first year class worked with pottery, and made many useful as well as beautiful articles, which included vases, paper weights, and lamp bases. The second year class worked with leather, and pocket books, bill folds, bags, and book covers resulted from their labor. This department was also called upon to make posters to advertise the societies and activities in the High School. On December 6 and 7, an Art Exhibit was held. The pictures displayed were the Porter-Matter Prints which represented one hundred fifty of the world’s master pieces. The proceeds were used in buying pictures for the school. Although this year was very successful, Miss Seibert looks forward to an even better one next year. Ma urine Bradley, ’24. Page Ninety-one Student Council HIS was the fifth year of the existence of the Student Council. The organization was the same as that in previous years, there being two representatives, the class president and one member elected by the class, from each of the four classes. The meetings were held only at times when matters of importance to the student body were discussed. Much of the success of the Council was due to the efforts and the splendid co-opera- tion of the principal, Mr. Kaiser. The members for the year were: Seniors: Harold Hopper, President Margaret Piepenbring, Secretary Juniors: Kenneth Thomson Vera Coultas Sophomores: David Lander Dorothy Fiedler Freshmen: Emmett Barton Elizabeth Hardesty Margaret Piepenbring, ’24. Page Ninety-two The Athletic Association HORTLY after the close of the football season, a meeting of the Athletic Associa- tion was called for the election of officers. Those chosen were: President—Willard Johnson Vice-President—Lester Woods Secretary—Robert Reid Student Manager—Carl Mason Sixteen letters were awarded in football and ten in basketball during the last year. The Board of Control was the first in years to give notice of revocation of letters from those who were not giving the highest respect and esteem for their awards. Willard Johnson, ’24. •age Ninety-three school. Science Club HE newest organization of Jacksonville High School was the Science Club which was organized at the beginning of the second semester of the school year. The desire of this club was to widen the field of knowledge of its members along scientific lines. The twenty-five members met every Friday at the close of school, at which time, programs were given, consisting of talks by different ones regarding es pertaining to science. The club had as its advisor Mr. T. I . Carter, Professor of Chemistry of the High School. It is hoped that the Science Club will become one of the most beneficial organizations of Jacksonville High School. The following officers were chosen for this year: President—Sheldon Nicol Vice-President—Harold Hembrough Secretary—Eudora Milburn Treasurer—Tracy Cowgur Eudora Milburn, '25. discover MEMBERS OF SCIENCE CUTB Lee Baldwin Tracy Cowgur Harold Hembrough Eudora Milburn Lynford Reynolds Elva Smith John Welsh Virginia Smith Dorothy Terhune Robert Brown H.

The order of appearance was not according to class rank, as the Juniors came first with a very pleasing musical entertainment, consisting of vocal and dancing numbers, together with an archestra, the Spanish Serenaders. Next came the Sophomores with an entertainment entirely different—a jazz wedding. The entire ceremony was pronounced to the popular jazz tunes of the day. The Freshmen appeared next, and gave the audience a hint of the troubles of a Day Nursery. From the natural way in which this play was given, the audience came to the conclusion that the Freshman class contains even more talent than the general Freshman Class. Last, but not least, appeared the stunt given by the class of ’24. This consisted of two scenes, the first laid in a Y. M. C. A. hut in France where a chorus of canteen girls. Red Cross nurses, soldiers, and sailors were gathered to witness a Thanksgiving Day pro- gram. When a colored soldier was asked to sing some southern songs, the songs brought memories of home to him. and the scene was then changed to show' his dream of the plan- tation in the South. At this time, the minstrel proper was given. The soldier was then awakened by taps, and the program in the hut was ended with the Yama Y’ama chorus, dressed in the black and gold of the Class of 24. After this special program, many original side shows were shown, and eats were sold by the different classes. Alta Crum, ’24. Paige Ninety-six “The March of the Ages” “ ♦ And the rave where the rave-men dwell. Then a sense of law and beauty, And a fare turned from the clod: Some rail it Evolution, And others call it God. HE audience which filled the auditorium of J. H. S. on the evening of November ninth, saw these lines realized before them, in the pageant, “The March of the Ages, presented by the history department of the school. There passed across the stage in rapid succession primitive men, the gods and goddesses who repre- sented his early aspirations, great military leaders like Caesar and Napoleon, and Robin Hood and his band, Knight Templars and robber barons, .Joan of on by the light of her vision, artists, statesmen, scholars—each contributing in some way to the progress of the race, to the working of that force which “some call Evolu- tion,” while “others call it God.” The idea of the history pageant originated in one of Miss Merrill’s ancient history classes. It was decided to give the production for the library, and Miss Havenhill work- ed with Miss Merrill, Miss Ruyle, Mr. Scott and their classes to make it a success. If the pageant had done nothing except to vivify and interpret history for us. it would have been worth while. It did more, however; we have a lasting memorial of it in the new set of Compton’s Encyclopedias on our shelves, and in the beautiful copy of “The Melting Pot, which hangs on the north wall of the library. This picture, showing the transforming touch of America on the lives of those who come from the Old World, was well chosen to keep before us the teaching of “The March of the Ages.” Arc, led age Ninety-seven “Little Women” HIS year the Dramatic Club gave one of the most creditable productions of its recent years. The play chosen was Louisa Alcott’s “Little Women.” Perhaps, when this was announced, it was expected to be a one-sided affair, but not so. Hoys were very necessary to the successful production of the play. Material for the characters was plentiful and all the members of the club realized what a hard thing it was for the judges to choose the characters. The cast proved to be energetic, hard working, and talented for amateurs. The members of the cast were as follows: Jo Meg - Amy Beth - Hannah - Mrs. March John Brook Laurie Mr. Lawrence Aunt March Professor Bhaer Helen Kirby Margaret Curtis Lucille Harber Joyce Lander Frances Phipps Ruth Leavenworth Theodore Wetzel Farrell Crabtree Russell Dunlap Rhoda Rammelkamp Kenneth Danskin This cast was ably and skillfull directed by Miss Gorham, director and supervisor of the Dramatic Club. Much praise and many thanks are due her. Too much credit cannot be given the members of the club who worked on the com- mittees. The committees and chairmen were: Costume Committee—Marguerite Forrest Property Committee—Dorothy Fiedler Publicity Committee—Junior Barr Ticket and Finance Committee—Lee Baldwin Rhoda Rammelkamp. ’25. Page Ninety eight “The Gypsy Trail” HE GYPSY TRAIL, which was selected for the Senior Play, was a charming comedy in three acts. The story centered around a young girl, Frances Ray- mond. who was in love with romance and adventure, and Ned Andrews, a pros- perous, practical young business man, with very little romance in his make up, who wanted Frances to consent to marry him. The plot thickened when Ned attempted a kidnapping with a grandmother thrown in. He hired a young fellow to do the kidnapping for him, and complications de- veloped when Frances and the “chauffeur” Michael became engaged a few hours after meeting each other. But all did not end happily here as in fairy tales, for Michael ran away, because he was afraid to get married and assume the many responsibilities. But like most men, he was finally blinded to all that, and came back for Frances, who showed that she was en- dowed with quite a bit of spunk. Sooner or later, the happy ending had to come, so Frances forgave and Father Raymond gave his blessing. The play was well received, and the Senior Class is grateful to Miss Gorham for her excellent coaching, to Miss Merrill for her help throughout, and to all those in the school who supported this important event of the year. The cast included: Leavitt Arnold, Opal Patton, Elmer Yeck, Alta Crum. Russell Dunlap, Wilma Ruyle, Dorothea Pearson, Margaret Curtis and Lloyd Harrison.

Much hard work was done by the members and by the leader, as was shown at the Vesper Services which were given during the Christmas holidays. The big event of the year for the Chorus was the concert which was given with the support of the Junior High School. Glee Club, and Treble Clef Club, under the direction of Miss Hopper. The officers who were elected for the year were: President—Helen Kirby Vice-President—Jack Benson Secretary—Faye Carroll Librarians—Elizabeth Goodals, Elizabeth Wainright Faye Carroll, '25. Page One Hundred Four - Orchestra HE ORCHESTRA, which had hitherto been made up only of string instruments, took a big step forward during the last year, when it admitted not only violins but also saxophones, trombones, cornets and drums. The members met every Thursday evening in the auditorium of the High School, at which time some dfficult but excellent numbers were practised. The only officers chosen this year were the President, who was John Morris, and the Pianist who was Lloyd Bieber. The directors were Miss Broadstone during the first semester and Miss Hopper during the second semester. John Morris, 25. Page One Hundred Five Glee Club HE GLEE CLUB of 1923-24 was organized by Miss Ivois Broadstone soon after the beginning of the first semester. At the beginning of the second semester. Miss Lena Hopper, the former instructor, undertook the supervision of the Club. A quartette consisting of Edward Mallory, Floyd Sanders, Sam Osborne and Willard Johnson was chosen from the club. The following officers served for the year: President—Floyd Sanders Vice-President—John Morris Secretary—Willard Johnson Treasurer—Morece Simms Librarian—Arthur Bergstrom Pianist—Elizabeth Goodale Willard Johnson, ’24. t Page One Hundred Six Treble Clef Club T the beginning oi the year, the Treble Clef Club met, electing as officers, the following: President—Elizabeth Goodale Vice-President—Helen Kirby Secretary—Dorothy Jackson Treasurer—Eleanore Andre Librarians—Leah Tayman, Dorothy Fiedler Every Monday at 3:40 o’clock, musical sounds could be heard issuing from the music room, for this was the time and the place where the forty-three members met. With Miss Lena Hopper. Supervisor of music in the public schools directing, the club proved very successful as a musical organization of Jacksonville High School. Dorothy Jackson, ’25.

I). “Tigers’ and with difficulty defeated them. The lone score was made in the third quarter, after a series of ground gaining plays. The game was played on the Illini field, and because of the condition of the field and the heat, the plays were somewhat slowed. Jacksonville 20—Pittsfield 13. The next game against Pittsfield High at Pittsfield was another victory for Jackson- ville. Never before was such fighting spirit roused between teams. The Pittsfield fel- lows were a little heavier than ours. Although this was no barrier to our forward rushes, it was not until after a period of hard fighting that the team was victorious. Page ne Hundred Twelve Mallory Deweese Benson Harrison Jacksonville 13—White Hall 0. The thirteen sounds unlucky, but it wasn’t, at least not for J. H. S. A cold, drizzling rail fell during the period of play with White Hall, and caused costly fumbles for both teams. The game was hard fought, and with the rivalry that exists between the two teams, the playing was stiff. It will be remembered that this was the last game in which Captain Hunt played for Jacksonville High School. Jacksonville 0—Peoria Central 20. The team entered this game with some uncertainty, and at the end, they were still rather uncertain about what had happened. The Peoria backs were fast and hard to down, while Jacksonville missed several good chances to score. This was the first defeat, and was greatly regretted, especially since it was on J. H.

The score for J. H. S. was made in the last quarter by a kick from placement. Jacksonville 43—Quincy 0. Realizing that victory w'as not altogether impossible, and spurred on by an enthusias- tic appeal from the students and the faculty, Jacksonville defeated Quincy on the I. C. field. This was the last home game of the season, and it was fought with a renewed determination. Page One Hundred Fourteen Sanders Corbridge Arundel Hopper Jack son ville 0—Carlinville 25. The Thanksgiving game at Carlinville finished the football season with a defeat for Jackson ville. The game was played in rain and mud, but J. H. S. did not fumble once. Both teams held strongly, but Carlinville, being more consistent, proved itself superior.

Although Jacksonville did not win the tournament, they had one of the fastest and snappiest teams on the floor. As their season's record was not of the best, many fans did not concede Jacksonville a chance to beat Winchester, who had after their name, a most enviable one. However, we took not only the game with Winchester, but also the game with Griggsville. The match with White Hall proved too much for J. H. S. This left Waverly, Murray ville. White Hall and Chandlerville to compete for the championship. Waverly won from White Hall by a small score. The tournament was a success from several stand points. It brought teams together that had never competed against each other before. All of the teams showed good spirit, and there were no hard feelings or serious squabbles between any of them. Page One Hundred Nineteen Barr Corbridge Hopper Harrison Benson Basket ball during the season of 23-’24 was not a success as far as the winning of games was concerned, but it was, from the standpoint of the way in which all of the squad co-operated and worked faithfully throughout the season. With one of the hardest schedules in the history of J. H. S. basket ball, the team ended the season with five wins. As most of the squad were under classmen and inexperienced this year, one of the fastest teams ever produced at J. H. S can be expected next year. THE TEAM “Hopper,” Guard or Center Harold Hopper was a captain and player who always looked after his men with keen interest. He was in the game at all times, playing his hardest, and was a man who gained the recognition of all by his clean, fast playing. Hopper has played for J. H. S. on three basket ball teams, and they wish that he could play on three more. Hopper well deserves his honorable mention by district officials both this seasons and last. A Senior. “Corbridge,” Guard This season was Corbridge’s first as a regular basket ball man, but judging by his playing, a spectator would have classed him as a veteran at the game. Corbridge did not give up until the final whistle had blown, and it was then only after a hard fight. He wras given worthy mention by the officials. A Senior. “Bill,” Center or Forward William Lewis, Normal High School. This was Bill's” first year with .1. H. S., and with his class of playing, he could be used again. Always in the game and playing to win, Bill was all right. A Senior. “Runt,” Forward Lloyd Harrison was little, but oh my! He wras over all the floor at once and was one of the scrappiest players ever produced by J. H. S. When given a chance “Red” always did his best. He received worthy mention from the tournament officials. A Senior. Page One Hundred Twenty Mallory lJoyle Houston Lewis Trahey Osborne “Hoddy,” Center Harlan Doyle, of Murrayville High School, was a hard man to keep from scoring when given the ball. “Hoddy” started the season as a sub, but he didn’t give up until he had worked his way to the regular center berth. Doyle will be a valuable man next year. He was given worthy mention by the officials. A Junior. “Frenchy,” Forward James Trahey, Routt High School, ’21, 22. “Frenchy” was not a spectacular player, but he was there when it came to team work. His work during the tournament was espe- cially good, and he was recognized by officials. A Junior. “Barrie,” Guard or Forward Junior Barr started the season playing guard, but was later shifted to forward. Whenever he played, his name was in the line-up. With an endless fighting spirit, he won the approval of the officials. A Junior. “Houston,” Guard George Houston did not get started until late in the season. He was a good back guard, and adapted himself well to recovering the ball from the back board. He was given mention by officials. A Junior. “Papee,” Forward Edward Mallory was one of the fastest men on the squad, but he sure didn't like to gel his hair wet. He was an excellent team worker and an accurate passer. He won the approval of officials, and should be a great help next year. A Junior. Hugh Osborne, William Wilson, Francis Doyle, Orville Deweese, Elmer Smith and Clarence Peterson were all young and inexperienced players, but should prove a big asset to the team next year. They are all under classmen. Page One Hundred Twenty-one SENIOR TEAM Senior Team The year 1924 was the second year for «iris' basket ball in Jacksonville High School, but the enthusiasm shown by the «iris prove that it has become as firmly established as boys'. A large number of girls was out from each of the four classes. At tirst, it was difficult to play strictly according to girls’ rules, blit after a time, they proved to be very successful. Owing to the small gymnasium floor, it was necessary to divide it into two sections rather than three. Miss Potter coached the Freshman girls; Miss Ashwood, class sponsor, the Sopho- mores; Miss Bly, the Juniors; and Miss Meredith, the Seniors. Miss Potter, Miss Bly, and Miss Meredith were all Illinois Woman’s College students. Unfortunately, some of the Sophomores and Juniors were disqualified because of fail- ures, and their teams were weakened. However, all of them played hard, clean games. The Seniors played the final game with the Sophomores, and carried off the title of Class “Champs.” Page One Hundred Twenty-two JUNIOR TEAM SOPHOMORE TEAM Page One Hundred Twenty-three FRESHMAN TEAM SENIOR TEAM: Alma Lindsay, Capt.

A larger group than had been out for several years came out this spring, determined to win. During the bad weather, a series of lectures was given, but as soon as the weather improved, the training began in earnest. Several of the old point makers were out again this year, in addition to a large num- ber of new men. Jacksonville was fortunate in being allowed to have the W. I. H. S. L. meet here this year on May 2 and 3. It is hoped that in time, Jacksonville High School can turn out a winning track team. W estern Illinois High School League Meet Not only athletic events are held at the Western Illinois High School League Meet, but also literary and musical as well. Jacksonville has always been very successful in these intellectual events. At the time that this book went to press the literary try outs had not yet been held, but those chosen to represent the school in music were: Considerable interest was evidenced at the girls’ track meet which was held in May. The yard of the Washington School was used by the girls for training on Monday and Wednesday. It is hoped that in the future, girls’ track will become a part of the athletic program.

Page Ono Hundred Thirty-one PAIS y Page One Hundred Thirty-three ZjABOh Success Waits at Labor’s Gate “Success waits at Labor's gate.” The Class of 1924 chose this as its motto and as the beacon light to guide it through the coming years. “Success”, as Webster has it, means “that which comes after; the favorable termina- tion of anything attempted”. The world regards success as that which is reached in at- taining position or rank in any endeavor. You know what success is, but how do you attain it,—the success that affords peace and contentment in after life? One may attain apparent success through the work of another, or vicariously, by being born to the “purple”. But such success, acquired without personal effort seldom lasts, and in the end, leaves its possessor with naught but the “taste of ashes” in the twilight of life. A study of the lives of the truly great in every walk of life, and a careful analysis of our own experiences, teaches us that the attainment of real success can be had only by persistent effort—personal effort, fortified by a cheerful mental outlook. Take, for ex- ample, Paderewski, who practices on his piano for eight hours a day, and who has said that it takes one percent genius and ninety-nine percent hard work to become a success in life. For each of us. there is a gateway to success, with a plainly marked path leading up to it. This gateway is at the end of the path of labor, but the pathway is bordered with the memory of happy days. To the student, “labor” means study, the acquisition of knowledge, judgment, and poise that will enable him to reach success in his life after his school days are over. So, gradually, we, the Class of '24, shall leave the work-a-day world and eventually find that success that is waiting at labor’s gate. Ernest E. Olds. '24 Page One Hundred Thirty-four Short Story and Poem Contest In order to encourage the development of literary ability, the staff conducted a short story and poem contest, to which anyone in the school might contribute. The story Over- tone,” and the poem, When The Moon Is Up,” were chosen for the best, and they are given to the readers of the J” in the following pages. Overtone liy EARL E. ARUNDEL It was several years ago, when the clock of the old court house used to strike the hour, and the people of Jacksonville lounged around on their front porches in the long summer evenings until the soothing peal of the chimes told them that time for repose had arrived Russ and I were sitting on the front porch of our Kayette street home discussing the happenings of the day and dividing sheets ot the Courier between us. I noticed that Kuss looked more serious than usual, even older. Gravely and deliberately, Russ glanced at his watch and said, In just two minutes you will hear it.” Hear what?” A romance.” A romance? Russ, are you crazy?” But the wistful look on his face seemed to invite no ridicule, so I waited in suspense. The two minutes rolled slowly by, seeming like twenty. It was just seven o’clock by the chimes in the court house tower when he broke the silence again. Now, listen.” I strained my ears to the utmost, as each separate peal of the chimes tolled and sent one more hour to join the wasted millions gone before. One, two, three, and on to seven. But I heard nothing. Ah, shucks, what’s got into you? There’s nothing but the chimes. Sh-h, listen!” Then I heard it. Intermingled with the dying strains of the bells, faint, but distinctly audible, the unmistakable first bars of the old song I Love Just You, Dear could be heard. The beauty and the oddity of the strains made me gasp as they became slowly inaudible, and for several seconds, I was speechless. What do you make of it, and how did you discover it?” I asked. Just by accident. Mother and I were sitting here reading the other evening w'hen first I heard it. At that time. I thought it was idle fancy, but now I know dfferently. It happens every night at exactly this time. Probably some high school lad attempting to display his musical genius to the city. I. offered. But if it is,” Russ interrupted, why does he use the same strains day after day at the same hour?” Well, then, it's some romantic cuss sending a message to his best girl. I again con- jectured. But that’s the strangest part of it. That music cannot be heard anywhere but here. The manner in which Russ said the last somehow took my speech away. The wierd- ness and beauty of it all thrilled me. Oh, well, then there’s something wrong with the mechanism that makes it sound Page (hie Hundred Thirty-five that way by accident,“I ventured, trying to appear indifferent, after I had regained some of my composure. However, I wandered off to my room in meditative mood, conjectur- ing to myself a thousand different ways in which the strange music could occur. None of them satisfied my curiosity. The next evening, my family and I were sitting on the porch, listening for the mys- terious strains. At exactly seven, we heard them, clear and unmistakable. A look of anxious expectancy hovered over the faces of all as we watched Russ saunter slowly to- ward the house. He had gone to the tower, determined to find out the cause of the phe- nomenon. “Well, who’s the chap playing the love song to his sweetheart?” asked Dad, taking a lazy puff on his cigar. Russ answered slowly. He seemed older, but radiantly peaceful. “Folks, it’s a romance, a beautiful little romance that has been going on under the eyes of thousands for nearly twenty years. You remember the gray haired old court house janitor and night watchman? Just ‘Frank’ I believe they call him. Well, for twenty years, he has been winding those clocks just before the stroke of seven. That is when he goes to work, leaving his little old partner at home alone. To let her know that he has climbed safely to the belfry tower, he taps out the tune in the overtone of the bell. Overtone, as you know, can only be heard at exactly the right distance from the tower, neither closer nor farther. His home on North Main is exactly the same distance from the court house as ours.” We were deeply moved by the tale of the wonderful little romance of this honest old couple. Every evening we listened for the chimes, and for weeks, were not disappointed. Finally, when school was about to start and Russ was to leave for college, we began to realize that it really meant more to us than we cared to admit. Hut one evening, we failed to hear it. No one spoke for quite a while, and the faces of all were marked with expressiohs of anxiety. We knew that something had happened, but no one wanted to show how much he was affected. At last Mother offered. “He’s probably fallen down the ladder and broken his neck.” “Guess the old woman’s busted a skillet over his head,” interrupted some one. “What’ll she think when she doesn’t hear it?” Many were the explanations for the absence of the strains, but Russ determined to learn the trouble. The next evening, we again missed the bars, and for two days after. Then Russ re- turned with an explanation. “She’s sick, and he is at her bedside.” Mother immediately prepared a basket for the sick lady, and with it and a large bunch of flowers, Russ and I set out for the house. We found the old couple together, and were well rewarded for our visit. In a few days, the strains again put in their appearance, and our evenings on the front poreh became more enjoyable. It was on Sunday night that the strangest thing happened. It had been a gloomy day and we were all feeling out of sorts. We watched for the strains at seven, hoping for a little cheer in the happiness of others. But from the first note, we knew that something was wrong. Seeming to carry the very soul strains of an aching heart, the first bars of “Nearer My God To Thee” reached our ears, and died with the echo of the bell. We bowed our heads in silence. We understood. The next day, there was no joy at our house, and my Mother had ordered roses sent as a token of appreciation of the great- est and purest beauty we had ever known. We did not expect to hear the strains of course after that, but one evening, Russ and I were visiting friends at the extreme suburbs of Jacksonville. We were sitting on the Page One Hundred Thirty-six front porch, when the court house hell started tolling the hour of seven. We listened as if by habit, and though expecting to hear nothing, we were astounded as well as overjoyed to hear those same old bars of “1 Love .Just You, Dear” as clear as ever, although scarcely as audible as before. We drove home at a terrific speed to tell the family the wonderful news. The following evening, we all made a pilgrimage to the home of our triend to hear the strains once more. We were gratified, and had taken new hope, when Russ, as usual, arrived with an explanation. “She is resting in the little cemetery in Diamond Grove, and he tells her every evening that he has climbed safely to the tower.” The old watchman had broadened the overtone to reach the graveyard, and help his loved one rest in peace. When the Moon is Up By DOROTHY FIEDLER A ball of gleaming silver mist. The moon climbs high. And leaves a path of twinkling stars A shining in the sky. The trees sway softly in the wind; The leaves a rustling make; Tiny waves are playing On the surface of the lake. Starry sky and rippling lake. And trees so softly swaying. Won't you try to tell me What the moon is saying? But trees and lake are silent; The moon rides on her way. And soon the tiny, twinkling stars Are lost in dawn—and day. Page One Hundred Thirty-seven Girls and Cars By VIDA B. SLOAN In the corner of a large and spacious garage stood a Ford in a very dilapidated condi- tion. Its radiator was pushed in so that it resembled a come-to-me-go-from me. Standing next to it in striking contrast was a large, highly polished Marmon which had just been brought in for repairs. Noticing its shabby neighbor, the Marmon groined and exclaimed, “My goodness, such a disgrace to my dignity to have to stand here and associate with such a low company, and a physical wreck at that!” “Don’t be so puffed up,” replied the Ford in a very weak voice. “You won’t always be in that tip-top shape. Yes, I can remember the time when I was shiny and new. The Marmon smiled, for he thought the comparison humorous ami said sneeringly, You might as well tell me how you got in this miserable condition, that is, if you still have enough breath to tell me your tale of woe. I don’t suppose it will matter if I speak to you as long as we are over here in this dark corner. I should feel horrified if some of my friends should see me.” “You may say that now,” replied the Ford, but when you have seen as much of the world as I have, you will change your mind. All of my former owners treated me well, but when a Mr. Jackson bought me for his promising offspring, Robert, my troubles began. Robert, commonly called Bob by his friends, made me his constant companion. Some- times I protested, but it didn’t seem to do a bit of good, for Bob made me go. He is just like any other boy, good times first, studies last. I can sympathize with poor Bob. I’ve heard him curse algebra books lots of times when he was trying to get his ‘darn lesson’ as he called it. “Bob has one weakness though, that’s girls. One in particular called Helen. She disgusted me—and I think she must have ‘hated’ me, for she once told Bob, when I had a bad spell of indigestion, that she never saw such a rattletrap. When she couldn’t get a lift from anyone else she would ride in me, continually making nasty remarks abou my manners. “The boys liked to be seen with her because they said she was classy. As I stood at the curb taking in all the sights, I often caught snatches of her foolish conversation. She was utterly lacking in school spirit. “In the fall, much to everyone’s surprise and my utter discomfiture, Bob went out for football. However, he continually cut practice when Helen asked him to drive her around. Bob could play football well, and his coach was continually urging him to come regularly. “One day Helen wanted Bob to drive her to the hairdresser. Bob said he couldn’t as he had to go to football practice, and she got peeved. After the quarrel Bob seemed to take a new interest in football, and put his whole heart into it, making the team with flying colors. “I overheard something last week that made me want to kick Bob. One of the fellows was talking with another player, and this is what he said: “Bob ought to be kicked for running around after that Helen Burke. Elnore Lindsay has always liked Bob, and really cares for him. She is so anxious for him to play football, and is always persuading hftVi to practice regularly. She’s a real girl! Maybe some day Bob will realize it” he said. Well, I hope he does! “The days of Bob’s practicing were hard ones for me. I had to endure so much physical pain that it is no wonder I am a wreck. My average capacity is four good sized people, but Bob seemed to think I could carry the whole team. Two miles out to the Page One Hundred Thirty-eight field with twelve husky lads hanging on to me will tell on any ear you know. I would have liked to have accommodated them, but I grew weaker every day. My gears groaned, my springs broke, and I began to leak all over. Every day I developed a new squeak, my tires were worn to shreds, and my top flapped in the wind. “The football games began and Bob became a popular hero. All the girls hung around him trying to make an impression. When Helen noticed his popularity she deter- mined to win him back. “The next day she asked Bob to come to a little party she was giving that night out in the country at the home of her aunt. Bob was quite excited over it, for he wiggled around so much that I vibrated all over. However, he said he had to pull in early that night so he’d be ready for the big game the next day. Helen pouted and seemed highly insulted, so Bob afraid of getting on the ’outs’ with her promised to go. “That night we started out; it was a terrible evening, it was pouring rain, and the roads were very muddy. He jerked me from one side of the road to the other, till I grew rather seasick splashing through the puddles of water. I had felt peculiar all day. “At last we reached Helen’s home. Bob jumped out and ran up the steps eagerl . I waited impatiently for him to return, for the weather didn’t agree with me. “After 1 had waited a long time Bob returned. He seemed thoroughly disgusted. He muttered constantly, as he tried to find his way through the darkness. Helen wasn’t going to the game tomorrow—had to get some sleep so that she could go to the dance in the evening with Walt Oswald. That was all she cared! As he was sputtering and I was sympathizing with him, all of a sudden I felt a piercing pain, and my steering gear ruptured. Boh screamed as I sped over a high embankment into a ditch. “I was a complete wreck and suffered untold agonies. A passing car carried Bob away unconscious, and I was towed to this garage. 1 wonder how poor Bob is. and how the game turned out.” “Yes, I wonder how,” sniffed the Marmon. “Who’s this coming?” “Why its Bob,” said the Ford. Then one of the boys approaching the wrecked car said, “You’re done for old top. No more good times in you.” Turning to Bob his companion said. ‘‘We would have won that game if you had been in Walt’s place. That car sure is a wreck!” “Yes” said Bob, “and all for that piece of vanity!” “Well, don’t let the car worry you Bob. come on let’s go get Elnore. If wfe don t hurry we will be late for the game.” Page One Hundred Thirty-nine The Bells of St. Anne “Let ritifj the hells. so sweet and clear The cool night air to fill, The snow flakes fall—'tis Christmas eve. On earth, peace and good will It was Christmas Eve at St. Anne. The lighted candles in the chapel windows sent a silvery gleam out into the white-blanketed lawns. As the wind swept through the pines and stately elms, it was strangely hushed, as if even it were affected by the curious spell that hung over the convent of St. Anne. And then, ringing clear and sweet on the still night air, sounded the chapel bells, calling the sisters to evening worship. Famous was this Kentucky convent, and famous, too, were the bells of St. Anne. Brought from France many years ago, they were both feared and reverenced by the country folks who made their homes in the hills of Kentucky. Many wondered at the strange custom practiced at the convent, the ten o’clock worship held every Christmas Eve. But some spoke of a legend, a historical tale of centuries ago. This story is that tale, told to the people of Kentucky by the sisters of St. Anne: It was on Christmas Eve. in the year of 732, that the men of Charles Martel were waging war on the plain of Tours, in Gaul. On the near by hill, stood the lofty towers and spacious halls of the convent of St. Anne. The snow blanketed lawns were almost op- pressive in their look of peace and quiet. Close to the gates of the convent were camped the enemies of Charles Martel. The lights of the campfires glowed in the dusk, and the soldiers made merry in the discussion of past conquests and of battles to come. Because of the mirth and merriment, none of them noticed this line soldier who was cautiously making his way toward the gates of St. Anne. He was walking with great difficulty, and every step he took seemed to increase the pain under which he was laboring. Slowly he made his way to the entrance. He had reached the gate, when, with a gasp, he fell forward. Only a moment he had lain there, when a woman, clad in the black robes of a nun, stepped from behind the shrubbery. She carried a small package, and as she approached the seemingly lifeless figure, she started and murmured a few words of prayer, for he lay in a small pool of blood that painted a crimson spot on the newly fallen snow. From her package she took a bottle and a roll of bandages. Working swiftly, dex- terously, she bound the wounded leg, and held the bottle of stimulant to his lips. In a few’ moments, the man began to mutter incoherently. To the kneeling sister, it seemed hours before she could understand the words that his tightly drawn lips uttered. Then— “I must go—she—is—waiting. Tonight I—must—.” He paused and gasped for breath. Slowly his eyes opened. Big brown eyes they w’ere and they looked up into the face of the sister. “Cecilia, is it you? Is it not a dream or the mere fancy of a wounded man?—It seems as if it cannot be true!” He gasped and shuddered, as if in great pain. Then he told her of the Christian, Charles Martel, who had made it possible for him to come to St. Anne, and of his long journey to the convent, of the fight with the sentry, who guarded the camp of the enemy that lay on the plain below. If that sentry reports to the camp, if he is able to crawl to the tents, we must be careful and cautious, lest we fall captives to them. We must hasten. Night falls fast. Soon-----we will go. For a few minutes, the sister was silent. She was thinking of years that were indel- ibly stamped upon her memory. She saw’ again the village of her childhood and scenes from her later life. She lived over the days that had marked the entrance of the enemy Page One Hundred Forty into tier country, the news of the death of her lover, and her entrance into the convent of St. Anne. And then that day when she had learned that he lived, of the struRKle be- tween her love for him and her loyalty to the vows she had taken. Was it but yesterday that they had arranged this meeting? It seemed ages ago. There, on the lawns, they made their plans. At ten o'clock. Sister Cecilia would mount the stairs to the high tower where hung the bells or St. Anne. The sound of the chapel bells would be the signal for Gabriel, her lover, to come to the gates of the convent. It would then be only a matter of time until they were safely escaped from the field of battle. Their only care now was in avoiding the soldiers who were camped on the plain of Tours close to the gates of St. Anne. He bade her goodbye and began to descend the stone steps that led to the path at the foot of the hill. Up in the sky. a star looked out and spread its clear, cool light over the silent world below. The snow sparkled and glistened beneath the radiance of Its guiding rays. It was nearly ten when Sister Cecilia entered the chapel tower. The stairs were dark, and the walls were cold and bare. Through the small iron barred window shone a gleam of light, sent down from Heaven by the silvery star. In the corners of the room where hung the chapel bells, dark shadows lurked and drew dim outlines on the moss covered walls. Slowly, Sister Cecilia crept, more than walked, up the spiral steps. Only a little fur- ther, and now, she had reached the top. Then far and wide rang out the bells of St. Anne. Gabriel, from his post in the forest, heard the rich notes and smiled with thoughts of a happy tomorrow. He limped from his hiding place, and walked towards the gates of St. Anne. His face was illumined, and he hummed a bit of a song. Suddenly he stopped. Directly before him, silhouetted against the white snowbanks, stood a group of soldiers. The sight of the men filled the heart of Gabriel with a vague foreboding. Surely the sentry had not been able to report to the camp. And then “Down with the Christian!” shouted the leader of the band. An arrow whizzed from a skilfully handled bow. Then another. But the second had not been needed. Stretched full length on the snow-covered ground lay the lifeless body of Gabriel, Sister Cecilia s lover. The star in the Heaven above shone on. a beacon, calm and cool, undisturbed by the little tragedy of the world below, and the sister, watching from the belfry tower, fell back from the window, a crumpled, lifeless body. The next morning, they found her, huddled in a corner of the tower room, one hand clutching the rope that hung from the bells of 9t. Anne. Her face wore a sweet smile, for she, too, had gone to the land that knows no parting. This is the story told to the people of Kentucky by the sisters of the convent, and on Christmas Eve, at ten o’clock, the historic old bells ring out dear and sweet on the cool night air. Tis then that the country folk, gathered around their warm hearths, their hearts overflowing with Christmas cheer, tell to their children the legend of the bells of St. Anne. And the children wonder, and listen to the stirring tale in awe. But at St. Anne, the sisters, in memory of Sister Cecilia and her lover Gabriel walk over the crusted snow to the chapel hall. Far above them, from the belfry tower, the bells of St. Anne peal forth their melodious tones, summoning them to evening worship. Evening bells again are calling Ye u ho trust and ye who pray. Fear not. dread not night surrounding. Slumber softly 'til the day. Page One Hundred Forty-one Dorothy Fiedler, ’26. I he Deed Is Done It was seven o'clock on the falal night. When the printer said, This space is not right, This page must be filled by tomorrow morn, Or your book will be ruined sure as you’re born. So Georgia said to her advisor friend. Several hours we must spend. Else a yawning space in the midst of the book, Like a missing tooth would surely look.” Meanwhile they had to the high school go. There to practice the Senior show, Where gypsy bands in costumes gay, Were to sing for that wonderful play. At ten o’clock they grabbed their pens. And scratched around like setting hens. At eleven o’clock Miss Merrill suggested That some hot chocolate might be digested. So she brought it in; Georgia took a sip. But ’twas so plagued hot that it burned her lip. Then Miss Merrill immediately said That it was high time to go to bed. But ’twas only because of a dire need That we committed this awful deed; We finished the task as we’ve begun it; We had to fill space, and by jinks, we’ve done it!

Wheeler: “No, you had better not try it ” G. Schmalz: “Oh, yes, because I can get there first.” L. Wheeler: Yes, but it might be a tie.” ENCOURAGEMENT Think of the mighty oak. It was once a little nut like you. The night was dark and stormy. The sun was shining bright, The hero’s lips were tightly closed. He cried with all his might: “Oh, kill me, friend, but spare my life.” The villain shot him dead: A gay young girl tripped down the path, Gray hairs on her bald head. She recognized the dying man. “Oh, who is this,” said she. The headless corpse raised up its head, And said. “Oh, shucks, it’s me.” Farmer: “And now I’ll show you how to milk the cow.” Bokie M.: “I think I’d better learn on the calf.” G.
