The CRIMSON J VOLUME XVII Published by THE SENIOR CLASS NEWTON BATEMAN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty seven PROLOGUE Life is a great adventure. But when some people have exploited life, they become hard and bitter. They think that life itself is futile. They call it The Ironic Adventure”. Colin teas only eighteen, but he thought that Life was an Ironic Adventure and perhaps you couldn't blame Colin. Life hadn't treated him any too well. He sat on the window sill and looked pensively out thru the gray April toward the park where the grass teas shott ing green among the misty rain trashed trees. The opal raindrops pelted against the win- dow. But Colin did not hear, for one cannot hear when one’s heart is brooding. Anti as he thought he lazily thumbed the pages of an old ship's log that he bought from the little book shop down on 81st street. “Queer old thing, isn't it?” he thought to himself. “The Ironic Adventure is awfully like a beastly voy- age. But I’ve encountered mostly heavy seas so far.” Life’s a voyage.” And with this thought, with the drone of the rain, and with the swish of the wet tree branches, he fell asleep in the half light of the late afternoon. And this is lrhat he dreamed.

CRI ON Page twenty SENIOR CLASS HISTORY LOG I The xood ship J. H. S. had for many years been making voyages into realms unexplored. In the fall of 192.1 an unusual group embarked on this voyage. They elected Miss Della Thompson for Captain, assisted by Emmett Barton, first mate; William Walton, second mate; Betty James, secretary; and Olive Bray, purser. Gold and blue were chosen as the ship’s colors. The remainder of the first part of the voyage was spent in intent exploring of the unknown. LOG II The next year these passengers, no longer regarded as unskilled seamen, elected a new group of officials, with George Milburn serving as first mate, as- sisted by Mary Frances Breeding, with Frances Frisch as secretary, and Emmett Barton, purser. This year their stunt for the Carnival was a very unusual and original “Goop Dance,” which was greatly appreciated by all the other passengers. The mental status of the group was also shown, as many of them had high scholarship averages. LOG III This year the time was looming near when the passengers must disembark. Early in the year they elected Miss Clara Smith, Captain; Donald Woods and Margaret Osborne for first and second mates; Katherine Beck as secretary, and Mary Jane Wilson, purser. For the Carnival they presented ‘‘Ramesis Dream,” a unique and successful stunt. The biggest event of the year was the Ship’s Ball, at which these passengers entertained the rest in a way that won the admiration of everyone. In preparation of the last lap of the log, members were chosen to edit the “Crimson J”, the final record of the group. Lela Ferreira was made editor-in- chief and John Cusic, business manager. LOG IV These passengers have reached their last stage—the fourth year on ship board. This time Emmett Barton again served as first mate; Mary Frances Breeding, second mate; William Walton, secretary; and Marjorie Bossarte. purser, with Hugh Osborne as Board of Control member. Frances Frisch, who had served as a former officer, was this year chosen as editor-in-chief of the ship’s paper. Now these able seamen, their four years’ journey completed, have disem- barked on the Isle of the Future, leaving their best wishes to all remaining on the good ship J. H. S.

S. They first chose Miss Struck to be at the helm, with Dorothy Ber- nice Graham first mate; Donald Coker, second mate; Lucy Jones, secretary and James Merrill, purser. In this, their first year, they entertained at a Hallowe’en party, and soon proved themselves agreeable fellow passengrs. McClure Capps especially shown at the Carnival with his famous Egyptian dance. The group was w'ell represented in athletics, dramatics and music. LOG II The next year the following officers wrere chosen: Troy Chapin, first mate; Barbara Kennedy, second mate; Mary Frances Scott, secretary; and Edward Baxter, purser. This year they welcomed a number of new passengers, in the middle of the voyage, who helped make this group more distinguished than ever. They gave a clever stunt at the Carnival, and together with the new passengers held a pep meeting. The year passed quickly and they did much credit to themselves by being good sports and by their interest in their studies as well as in outside activities. LOG III And now ’tis but one more lap of the log before this illustrious group shall reach its final year. Using good judgment, as usual, in the selection of officers they elected Burnette Bunch, first mate; Catherine Goebel, second mate; Helen Tendick. secretary; and Lois Me Neeley, purser. Many of the group became more and more distinguished in various activi- ties. A large number of the boys starred in athletics, and the girls in music, dramatics, and literary achievements. Their stunt at the Carnival was very clever, and as a side issue, unique Japanese articles were sold. This year they entertained at the annual Ship’s Ball, which was very successful.

H. S. They started the journey with Mr. Sheppard as Captain; John White, first mate; Phillip Morris, second mate; Harriet Ranson, secretary; and Nancy Jane Black, purser. In order to become better acquainted, the class held a Hallowe’en party, which was very successful. In November they surprised the older passengers by a clever stunt given at the Carnival, “The Evolution of Man and Woman.” Eater in the year this crowd became well-represented in all activities, and soon showed that they had men of great athletic prowess. LOG II The second year on board was much easier than the first. Early in the fall John Tobie was chosen as first mate and Burton Cannon was his assistant. Mary Jane Moore served as purser. Betty Grassley as secretary, and John White as Board of Control member. The stunt at the Carnival showed various scenes from moving pictures, with Captain Sheppard particularly outstanding as the “Hunchback.” The class has been represented fully on board this ship during this voyage in all activities. Nancy Jane Black and Fred Runkle upholding the dramatic trend; Hugh Beam. John Curtis, Floyd Schillinger, and John Wright having proved themselves worthy in athletics. The year closed very successfully with a class social gathering. These are fast becoming good seamen on the Ship J. H. S. —Betty Raub, '29 CRI ON Page forty-nine Page fifty 10 27 Baptist.

They early showed their wisdom by electing Miss Groves as Captain; Andrew Rogers, first mate; Willard Cody, second mate; and Luman Goheen, secretary and purser. During the same month George Roach was elected as Board of Control member. On October thirtieth, the new group held a party with the majority of passengers in attendance. They entertained at the Carnival with an unusual stunt “And the Lamp Went Out.” In the matter of participating in athletics, the new arrivals have shown a very good spirit. They have also given evidence of great dramatic and musical ability. Although some are yet a bit unsteady and haven't found their “sea legs.” after three more years of sailing when they finally land at the Port of Knowledge, they hope to remember those first days on shipboard.

After a semester of sailing, the more courageous crew safely went through Examination Shoals to Seven A Island. Here some of the Crew were taken off and their places were filled by members of other ships. A new set of turbines were here installed and the ship was made to go a great deal faster. After two units of forced sailing “The Knowledge” reached Eight A Island. Six weeks later the good ship arrived at Mid-way Peninsula, where she was put in dry dock for repairs. One unit after the ship left dry dock she arrived in the Straits of Eight A. She was now close on the trail of her sister ship. “The Learning.” which had started a semester before “The Knowledge.” It was in these Straits that the ship’s crew came near to mutinying. “The Knowledge’s” discipline had never been of the best, but now because of just punishment given the crew because they had done wrong, they almost rebelled. However, under the skillful guiding of the “Admiral,” Miss White, The Knowl- edge” reached the High School Ocean along side of The Learning.” When these two good ships arrived in the same ocean, the crew became violently sea sick, but now they are sailing as a ship has never sailed before, and are in hopes they will not hit the rocks of “Failure.” Abbott.

As has been the custom, each class was represented by its president, faculty adviser, and one other member from the class. This year’s council was composed of: Seniors— Emmett Barton, President Hugh Osborne Miss Smith, Adviser Juniors— Burnette Bunch, President Zoe Marshall Miss Struck, Adviser Sophomores— John Tobie, President John White Mr. Sheppard, Adviser Freshmen— Andrew Rogers, President George Roach Miss Groves, Adviser The first business which the Student Council disposed of was the division of booth space and concessions for the Carnival, which was held the night before Thanksgiving. The most important work which the Council did was the awarding of ath- letic J’s and the setting down of more strict requirements for the student to be eligible for one of these athletic awards. The Council was greatly assisted and encouraged by Mr. Finley, who backed it with all possible effort.

The Herald this year tried again to present an interesting account of all activities to the student body in a journalistic way. and to promote student opinion, with the co-operation of the school printshop. The year was started with a larger staff than ever before and two assistant editors instead of one. so that there might be some competition for the position of editor-in-chief. A great deal of help was obtained when the editor and assistant business manager attended the state journalism conference. The subscription rate was raised to thirty-five cents for single semesters, when the subscription campaign at the first of the year was set off by a clever stunt given in assembly, and followed by a contest between the classes, which the Seniors won. Later in the year a Christmas story contest was sponsored, in which Betty Raub’s story won first prize and William Walton’s second. The school printers received reward for their work when boxes of home- made candy were given to them by the staff at Christmas. I he staff itself celebrated a successful year with the annual banquet in the spring.

This large number was very skillfully handed by dividing the club into various groups, each group hav- ing its own monitor. The Club had its program committee, which planned the numerous pro- grams and entertainments throughout the year. For instance, an entire program was devoted to the subject, “Beauty,” and another to “Music.” Each of these proved to be very interesting and spectacular. Of course we always have our big Christmas and Valentine parties. These, invariably, are quite successful and a delight to every girl. The spirit this year was unusually good and with the wonderful backing and encouragement of Miss Perbix, our advisor, the Club was quite a success. —Loi ise Hcghett, '27. -----------CRIMSON Page sixty-two HI Y CLUB President..........................................F.oyce Moore Vice President.................................Harold Rabjohns Secretary.........................................Malcolm Allen Treasurer.........................................Lambert Hunch Sergeant-at-arms....................................Ralph Mason Fourteen years ago the Hi-v was organized in Jacksonville, having as its dynamic, Christian manhood, and its purpose, “to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.

At each meeting a prominent man spoke, or a discussion on everyday problems was carried on. Among our many activities this year were: the promotion of Older Boys’ Conference, the creation of a Bible Class, a self-analysis campaign, father and son. mother and son. and “date” nights. Much of our success was due to our advisers, Mr. Hermann and Mr. Sheppard.

Alice Paul Four years ago last September, the History Club came into existence as one of the outstanding clubs of Jacksonville High School. Since, each year the members of the club have tried to follow some definite topic during the semester; it was finally decided to devote the first semester of this year to the study of contemporary history and current happenings. This study included the events of importance in Europe as well as in America. During the second semester the club tried out a very different type of pro- gram. which consisted of articles and essays on America and American cus- toms, as seen by European writers and critics. It really proved to be a very good idea, for it helped the members to understand a little better, and to appre- ciate a little more, our foreign neighbors across the sea. Taking everything into consideration, this has been a successful year for the History Club. We members, however, feel certain that a large part of this success was due to the efficient help from our adviser and friend, Miss Hunter. —Alice Paul, ’27.

Very interesting programs were given by the members every Tuesdav after school, in which they tried to keep pace with the interesting knowl- edge of radio and science. The members of the club did not give all their attention to the mysteries of radio and science, however, for they enjoyed many other activities as well. Several parties were held during the year, which were very much enjoyed by the members. The work of the club has proved very interesting and beneficial to its mem- bers, and it is hoped that the good work will continue. 1 his, the fifth year of the club, has been a very successful one, due largely to the untiring efforts of its adviser, Mr. Agger. —Martha McPhail, 28 CRIMSON Page sixty five HOME ECONOMICS CLUB President..................................Florence Cocking Secretary and Treasurer........................Ruby Wheeler Adviser.................................Miss Edna Osborne “Let’s call it the Home Economics Club.” said a pretty little miss to a group of students gathered around her.

The membership of this organization including students in the department from all of the four classes numbers fifty in all. Social hours, as well as regular meetings, were enjoyed. Early in the fall, after a brisk hike, a wiener roast was held. Before the Christmas holidays a regular club meeting was held, at which time a special program was given, followed by a reception and tea. in honor of the mothers of the members of the group. The work done by the Dramatic Art classes was exhibited. Washington’s birthday was fittingly celebrated by a patriotic program and party.

Also the club made a three-day trip to the Columbiana Farm, near White- hall, which proved helpful to all members. Just before the close of school a new executive board was elected by the club. Starting the term. September of 1926. the membership was raised to fifty- five, which is more than for any previous year. On December 18, 1926, the Agriculture Club, with the help of the Farm Bureau, sponsored a corn show at which time many boys received prizes for their corn. A great deal of enthusiasm has been shown in the meetings of 1926-27, at which time helpful programs were given. In the latter part of February, pro- grams were exchanged with the Pittsfield and Winchester Agriculture Clubs. The basketball team, which was chosen by Mr. Loomis, has on it good, clean, hard players, winning many victories for good old J. H. S. With the help of our club adviser.

The membership has grown from twenty to thirty-five members, who are interested in keeping the society active and operative. The Forum has always had a large representation on the Interscholastic Debate Teams, the members this year being Boyce Moore, Albert Cully, Elbert Seiber, George Nicol, Marjorie Bossarte, and Lois McNeely.

The number of members taking part in this increases each year. Besides the regular meetings, socials were held at various times, which served to stimulate the interest of the members in the society.

The club this year is most unusual, in that it is composed of nearly all first year French people. The new pins are small, silver, triangular shaped ones with a Fleur de Lis and the letters C.

This gave the girls a better chance to do more intensive work, since there was a smaller group. The Glee Club Girls took part in the Christmas Vesper service, and helped to make it the success that it was.

Meetings were held every Monday during the eighth period, at which time intensive work was carried on in preparation for the many appearances made by the organization. The first public appearance was on December 19, 1926, when the club assisted by the Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Glee Club, and the orchestra presented a Vesper Service. Immediately after the Christmas vacation, rehearsals for the operetta. “Carrie Comes to College,” were begun. Again the girls called in members of the other musical organizations to assist them in their successful production. Great honor came to this organization when it was asked to appear on the opening program of the South Central Division of the Illinois State Teachers’ Association in Springfield, and again at the North Central Conference of Music Supervisors in Springfield. The members of the club have worked hard to uphold the record of previous years in the Big Twelve Interscholastic Meet, which is held May 6 and 7, 1927, in Decatur.

It was composed of thirty-five members, chosen from both Junior and Senior High Schools. These boys practiced three times a week the seventh period, and were able to make splendid progress under the capable direction of Mr. J. W. Chadwick, who was assisted by Mr. John May. The boys showed a marked increase of interest this year, with the result that they were able to play for pep meetings held throughout the year, for bas- ketball games, and for both the district and sectional tournaments. J. H. S. may well be proud of this band, which is competing with other high school bands of the state at the Big Twelve Conference Meet held at Springfield, Illinois, in May. —Harold Rabjohns, ’27 T? Page seventy-eight Jacksonville High School has been very fortunate in securing Mr. J. . Chadwick to direct the band. Mr. Chadwick is a graduate of the Royal Academy of London, where he spent five years studying harmony, composition, and theory under Sir Alexander McKenzie, dean of the faculty and instrumentation under Sir Dan Godfrey. He has made two trips over Europe as a musician. During the war he was in charge of the Third Division of the Canadian Forces, having charge of fifty- two bands—in all, about 1,600 musicians. He played twice at Buckingham Pal- ace by command of the King. He was instructor at Provincial University at Guelph. Here he had charge of a symphony orchestra of eighty-five pieces. The last six years he has been at Mt. Vernon, Illinois, in charge of the Corco Kilties and the Mt. Vernon High School Band. This is Mr. Chadwick’s first year here, but we hope that it will not be his last, as he has shown a deep interest in the welfare of the boys in the band.

Among Spenser’s best friends are: Madame Louise, a beauty doctor, who seems to take an unusual interest in him; the famous but absent-minded Professor Wilkins; Miss Randolph, the charming chaperone of a college dormitory; Tommy, a serious-minded student, who is working his way through college; Porky, a good-natured chap; Ted, a happy-go-lucky; Bobbie, a charming co-ed; and Ma Jenkins, the motherly cook. Hiram Goodnow consults these friends and they suggest a plan to relieve the situation. He tells his son that he will give him no help. Porky then offers to lend Spenser the money to pay his debts, but thoughtlessly reveals the fact that the money was advanced by Mr. Goodnow. Spenser is indignant and refuses the loan. Carrie, the foster daughter of Ma Jenkins, pays his debts from her meager savings, insisting only that Spenser remain in college and redeem himself. He is very angry, but his pride is aroused, and he goes to work. He is very rude to Carrie, because he suspects her of conspiracy with his father. However, at the lawn-fete which Ma Jenkins gives for the Governor, Bobbie tells Spenser that Carrie had no part in the plot. The revelation is made that Madame Louise is his mother, who through a misunderstanding, was parted from his father years before. Carrie forgives Spenser; Bobbie and Tommy, who have quarreled all through the play, agree to go on quarreling through life; and the Professor is made happy by the promise of Miss Randolph to continue looking after him and his small niece, Beatrice.

Hale “Sock and Buskin,” the name given the Dramatic Club by its members this year, is one of the most active and popular societies in the school. Its one big feature of the year was a play “The Youngest.” by Philip Barrie, which, having a well-chosen cast, was greatly enjoyed. As a result of the study of one-act plays in the meetings, a successful Dramatic Hour was presented during the second semester. The members had an opportunity to be either on a production staff or in a play, which furnished great opportunities for knowledge of the various phases of work in the interest- ing field of drama. The club also tried to interest the entire student body in dramatics by having open tryouts for the big play of the year. In the fall a unique pirate party was given with all the thrills of a treasure hunt. After a great many mishaps, such as falling into delightfully cool brooks and landing on comfortable barbed-wire fences, the treasure of three silver dollars was finally found. In the spring a picnic was enjoyed by everyone. “Sock and Buskin” wishes to express its appreciation of the work done by its helpful adviser. Miss Martha Jean Hale.

The story deals with the family life of Bernard and Eunice Ingals, thoroughbreds. They have three children, the twins, Lois and Bradley, and Hugh, the eldest. Bern- ard is employed at the City Hall, where he has been for many years at a nominal salary, and enduring insults and sneers which causes his mother-in-law, a fine old aristocrat, much anxiety as to his lack of business ability. Everything is sacrificed for the children, that they may move in their accustomed circle and have the luxuries they so thoughtlessly demand. It is two days before Christmas and the twins are coming home from college for the holidays. Hugh has wired from New York that it will be impossible for him to be with them, which is a keen disappointment to Eunice. Noel Derby, the family friend is eager for Bernard to go into the nursery business with him. All the money must be spent on the children, how'ever, and Bernard reluctantly refuses this offer as he hasn’t the necessary capital. A new political ring has been started with the election of Leo Day, a rude, uncouth fellow, who is anxious to secure Bernard’s friendship as it would mean great social advancement. In the midst of all this confusion Hugh arrives home unexpectedly, soon followed by the twins. CRiy$ ON Page eighty four - Bernard and Eunice are supremely happy with their children around them once more, but they soon all leave for a big dance, and the father and mother are left alone, their plans for the vacation quite upset. They try to comfort each other, and as always, make plausible excuses for the children. Hugh has told them of his engagement to Dagmar Carroll, which is a great surprise to both parents. Kimberley, an unscrupulous councilman, demands that Bernard do as he orders. Thoroughly enraged at the rotten politics displayed, Bernard writes his resignation and gives it to Bradley to mail. After he has done this he is appalled to think of all that is involved. It means that they have no money and the chil- dren won’t be able to go back to college. Frantically he tries to recall Brad to get his letter back, but he cannot reach him. Eunice is secretly glad that her husband resigned, although she sees no way for them to live. In desperation she appeals to her mother, who at first is willing to loan them the money until she learns that they will use it to send the children back to college; then she refuses. Mrs. Bradley calls in all the children and tells them of all the sacrifices their parents have been making for them all these years. She tells them that their father is bankrupt and that they can’t go back to college. For a moment they are stunned by this abrupt change, but when they realize the many things their father and mother have done for them, they are only too willing to go to work, and agree with their mother that Bernard must not go back to the City Hall. Eunice decides to rent the house, but as Mrs. Bradley owns it, she prevents that. Hugh tells Dagmar that their marriage must be postponed and with the money they had saved for their home they decide to put the twins through school. In the meantime, the twins have cajoled and pleaded with their grandmother until she agrees to invest her money in the nursery with Noel Derby and hire Bernard at a salary, to look after her interests. At this moment Bernard comes in and announces that he has his old job back. The Council would not accept his resignation. Eunice and the children do not want him to go back, but he insists, saying that now everything can be as it was before. He wants the twins to go back to college, but they have both accepted positions and refuse to obey him. At the critical moment. Mrs. Bradley enters with Noel and tells Bernard that she is hiring him on a salary large enough that they may live well and yet is too small to send the children back to college. Dagmar and Hugh are to be married, and as the curtain falls the whole family are happily united. CRIMSON Page eighty-fire THE CARNIVAL As Thanksgiving brings pumpkin pies, turkeys, and a vacation, it also brings the Carnival, the one gala event toward which all students eagerly look forward. The Carnival this year was better than it has ever been. The corridors were decorated with booths and the colors of the different classes. Gaily dressed vendors passed among the crowds, calling out their wares. The Senior booth occupied the central portion of the front hall. To its left was a beautifully decorated Japanese booth of the Juniors, from which were sold novelties of old Japan. To its right the Sophomores and Freshmen had booths, displaying sandwiches, doughnuts and confections. The main program of the evening was presented in the auditorium by the various classes. As is customary, each class presented a short stunt, all of which were climaxed by the Senior minstrel of 1927. The Freshmen were first on the program, giving “And The Lamp Went Out.” Next came the Sophomores, with the original feature of “Who Is Who in the Movies?” Then the Juniors gave the audience the unique experience of witnessing the production of a movie. Three contrasting scenes were given: first, a murder; second, a love scene; and third, a freshman’s experience in a sorority house. Tbe Seniors upheld their reputation by giving the best minstrel which has yet been given in old J. H. S. The success is due Mr. Carl E. Richards, and Mr. Fred Lynn, who so ably directed the cast. The scene was laid in a Terrace Garden where the feature numbers were given for the entertainment of the guests. CRIMSON Page eighty-six CRIMSON Page eighty-seven MY MADONNA MAGDALENE It was a cold, blustering day in March when I first saw my madonna, as I was hurrying home from an afternoon of sketching by the river. I didn’t know at the time, and I have never known to this day, what force compelled me to turn and look at the face—framed in the highest window of a tenement. The last rays of the sinking sun made a halo around her head, and from that soft setting gazed the loveliest face that I had ever seen. Leaning her elbow on the window ledge, she looked out over the city. I paused and studied her face. It surely was that of a madonna. A Hawless skin and perfect fea tures. Hut it was her eyes that attracted me most strongly. What was she seeing, staring so intently? Her beautiful face was full of character, and 1 wondered at the sort of life she must have led. that had left on those superb features every mobile expression that seemed possible. Unable to wave. I stood fascinated, still scanning that virgin-like face. “She is Mary Incarnate,” I cried half aloud. “The Holy Virgin, and back of her eyes lie the tears and laughter, the joy and sorrow, the hopes and ful- fillments of a thousand centuries.” As I spoke, she turned, and for one second her profile was held in bold relief against the darkness of the room. I caught my breath as I looked spell bound at that ethereal face. A moment, and she was gone. I stood there for some moments, reflecting upon the vision I had seen. As I walked slowly toward my dwelling place, I kept thinking of my beautiful madonna, as I was already calling her. For sometime I had been wanting to paint the Virgin and Child. I felt that it was far above me to try to interpret anything so sacred, but always subconsciously lay the burning desire to transfer to canvas that subject which the masters of all time have tried to make immortal. Never before had I seen the woman to whom I could liken the Holy Mother, but here today had I seen the fulfillment of my dreams? I tried to put the thought from my mind, but it kept returning to that unforgettable face that 1 had seen. I was obsessed with the idea of painting her with the Rabe at her breast. After a sleepless night, I was fully determined that I would paint the Mother and Child. Then suddenly I feared that the madonna would not pose for me. But that was unthinkable, she must! At last, unable to bear the uncertainty longer, I hastily dressed and made my way to the house where I had seen her. As I reached my destination, for the first time I paused and noticed the section in which the Virgin lived. It was an old and crumbling building, close to the wharfs, and in an undesirable location. What caused such an individual to live in this remote and distasteful spot? However, I waited no longer to ponder there, but quickly rang the bell. Instantly an old hag of such odious aspect opened the door, that I drew back instinctively. She surveyed me suspiciously, and then I realized that I did not know for whom to ask. But when I started to describe her, whom I was seeking, the old witch pointed sourly to the stairs, and mumbled something about the “top floor.” I ascended the rickety stairs as rapidly as possible, all the while my won- derment growing. Finally I came to the door which I was sure was the one I knocked, and waited uncertainly. Then a voice, was it a voice, or the chiming of so many silver bells, bade me come in. I pushed open the door and crossed the threshold. In a chair sat the one I sought. More beautiful yet than I had believed. “Can it be, dear Christ?” I prayed. “Oh! make it not a dream.” CRINON Page eighty-eight 10 27 She raised her face to me and asked evenly: “Did you wish me?” At first I didn’t reply, so intent was I in gazing. Then I poured forth to her my story, my dreams, my hopes, my wishes—all the while scarcely taking my eyes from her face. When I had finished, there was silence for a moment, then she asked, “Is it that you wish me to pose for Monsieur as the Madonna ?” I nodded. “It is indeed a great honor that you pay me—and I shall be only too glad to pose for you.” “You will then?” I cried. “Oh, mademoiselle, it is too good of you. Your services of course—I shall recompense you.” “But no,” she cried in horror. “No, Monsieur, I am not a professional, I could not think of it.” I let the matter rest, so happy was I over the prospect of painting her, anti the promise to return the next day for the first sitting. Those first days of being with her! Can I ever forget them! I’m not sure, but I believe that I must have been in love with her from that first moment when I saw her lovely face. We were like a pair of children in our actions toward each other. She had told me her name was Magdalene, simply that, and I was content to let it stay so, as befitted a Virgin. She vouchsafed no other information, and 1 asked her for none, and soon I grew accustomed to this strange setting in which I had found my jewel. The first dav, I had arranged the background of the picture and the setting in which I wanted the Mother and Child. I had carefully placed Magdalene, and every day when I arrived with the Child and its Mother, I found her exactly as though she had not moved from her setting. Always she was sitting thus, waiting for me, and soon I could not imagine her in any other pose. I wan- dered somewhat that she never moved, but under the influence of her beauty, I soon forgot all else. The painting was progressing rapidly. I had been working on it for months, and now all was complete except the features of my two subjects. The babe was not difficult, but I realized that on the Mother’s face must be all the mother love of the world. That was why 1 had chosen Magdalene. Because I was so sure that her lovely face could express any emotion in the world. But as I neared the finishing of the picture, I grew more worried. Magdalene was indeed the personification of motherhood, as she gazed down upon her child. But something was lacking, some expression that should be there. For days I labored, trving to put on canvas what should be in the lovely face of Mary. Suddenly I knew what was lacking. The expression in her eyes! They were beautiful eyes, the most beautiful in the world, but as I reflected, I had never seen but that one expression, which I had noted so strangely at my first glimpse of her. I had thought that those eyes contained every human emotion, but they did not reflect one—and that one was mother love. Suddenly I grew impatient. “Magdalene!” I almost shouted, “what is the matter with you? You know how you are supposed to act. For the love of God, Magdalene, look the part. Be Mary—forget yourself. It’s your eyes, Magdalene. Ever since I’ve known you I’ve seen only one expression in them. Can’t you look but one way forever? Your eyes!—your eyes! Put some expres- sion into them any way.” Immediately I was ashamed of my outburst. Magdalene looked at me steadily—her lip trembled. Then she said evenly, ou did not know, then, Monsieur, that I am—quite blind?” —Lucy Jones, 27. crinon Page eighty-nine 10 27 BOOK VERSUS THE DOG Legend will have it that the dog is always man’s best friend and companion. With this, I beg to differ, for I have a competitor which I believe is the superior as a companion, and will put the dog into obscurity ten minutes after the man has opened its covers. That is the book. I have a great liking for both l ooks and dogs, and alter a lifetime experience with both, have made these observations. A book never gets up in the middle of the night and howl to be let out into the street with its less fortunate companions. A book will stay right where it is told to, no matter how much it wants to roam. I- urthermore, 1 never had a muddy book come running into the house and shake itself on my guests at the critical moment of entertaining. Hut a dog will cut his afternoon's jaunt short to get to do just that thing. There are many things which a frowsy, fun-loving dog will do at which the average book would turn up its nose. Who ever heard of or saw a book run for blocks after a car, barking and pawing as if its very life depended upon it, and then scuttle home howling miserably after catching a paw under the wheel? Not I. I will go so far as to say that ! ooks never run after cars. Why should they when they have the history and the mechanical functioning of a car all di- gested between their l acks? A dog can sympathize with his master when the latter is in trouble, and he may lie for hours at his master’s feet, grieving as no man can grieve. But how different with the book. After learning the cause of the vexation, he will take a common sense view of the matter and soon tell his master just what should be done under the circumstances. When his master comes home at night tired and worn out, the lxx k will skillfully take his mind from the day’s lalxrn and lead him gently through a story chosen by the man himself. Advice, humor, tragedy, and fiction are all to be had in the bcxA-. There is a part to fit every whim or disposition. Upon an afternoon’s walk in the fields and woods, a book, upon being spread out upon one’s hand, will rhapsexlize on the beauty of all God’s creatures and the glory of the earth. A book is never at a loss as to what to say, and it is referred to by the wisest of men when they themselves are in doubt. A book never seems out of place in a picture. In fact there are many pic- tures which woefully show the lack of a book. In all the pictures of Venus de Milo, how evident it is that she was on her way to the library with a stack of books under her arm when the fury of Vesuvius overt x k her. And upon the statue of the Thinker, why is there no book? Everyone knows that he has just finished a book of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes Series and is still content plating upon one of the mysteries. A book adds confidence and a dignified air to one. I always want one near when I am about to do anythnig of importance. It seems to strengthen me and give me courage. On the dance fioor when my hands are so large and out of place, I hunt up a large size Webster’s dictionary to carry. This immediately boists me up and I become the picture of ease. In my room at home there are books where the wallpaper is missing. Those great numbers of books lend at- mosphere, which enwraps me in scholarly contentment whenever 1 enter the rexjm. I always pick out books with attractive covers for my room. A fetching name is helpful, too, in the decoration of a Ixxjkcase. At times when my eye falls on one with an attractive name, I take it from its place and scan its pages. Some far-off day, when I have reached the age and have advanced intellectually, I shall take one of those books from the case and read it through, but until then they lie untouched by all but time. --------------------CRIfclSON---------------------------------— Page ninety NEARLY A STORY It was the year 1950. Spiritualism was a proven fact. The dead were able to communicate with the living, and this was done, of course, bv radio. Then as people prophesied far back in 1926, automobiles have been done away with al- together and every family owns its own airplane. But one thing still remains and that is the traffic cop. The only difference in him is that he directs the air- plane not from the street, but from a high tower. Jane was a Senior in high school and her lesson for English was to write a short story. Poor Jane could not think of a thing to write. How could one ex- pect her to think with all that noise around? Looking out of the window she saw some of her friends flying by in a brilliantly colored plane. “Heavens! How can those girls go out flying when we have so much English work to do?” Finally in despair Jane decided to tune in the radio station W. T. I). C. A. (when the dead come alive). She asked for De Maupassant. “Monsieur I)e Maupassant,” said Jane, “could you tell me what to write for a short story?” “My dear child,” answered the man. “let me give you some advice. If you must write a story do not have any rules, but have something to say. People write either when they are sad or when they are happy, for both these times they will have something to say without looking around for words. But for you, I would suggest an adventure to write about.” “That’s what I want—an adventure, so I can write a good short story,” said Jane. A few minutes later she was walking down the street looking for an idea, when suddenly she heard a woman’s cry and saw a plane coming toward her. A child was being kidnapped. Now! There was an idea for a story. The plane stopped in front of her and a man exclaimed, “Here’s that girl who’s look- ing for material for a story and I refuse to give her any help.” With that, he handed the child back to its mother and drove on. “Oh, what a cruel world,” cried Jane. But just as she said that a gruff voice from behind her growled, “Hands up!” She turned and saw a revolver pointed at her. It was a holdup man! But to her dismay, the bandit put his gun down and said, “It’s only that girl looking for an idea to put into her story.” Jane decided it was no use so she started home, but whom should she meet but her teacher. “Have you finished your story?” she asked, all the time seemingly to grow larger and larger. Then Jane woke up. It was, after all, the year 1926. Spiritualism had not been proved. Auto- mobiles had not been done away with. But Jane had an idea for her short story. —Olive Bray, '27. IF The little word “if” contains only two letters, but it is far more important than words which are longer. Just as plans are running along smoothly and promise great success in someone’s life, this word if” steps in and changes everything. If Macbeth had not had such a thirst for power, he would not have listened to the tempting prophecies of the witches; and if Lady Macbeth had not encouraged her husband to go on in his weak moments, she, perhaps, would not have made his life so black with the bloody murders that he committed. If Juliet had awakened just a few moments before she did recover from the sleep- CRI ON------ Page ninety-one ing potion, Romeo and she would have lived happily ever after. And so the stories go in literature. Each one of us has been often exasperated with the interference of “if.” The weather man brought on a cold wave at the time when there was no snow nor strong wond, and when there was plenty of water in the lakes and ponds. Ice, smooth as glass and thick enough to be absolutely safe, covered the pond, and the moon Hooded the crystal surface. Yet if we did not have our skates, this would all be rendered useless. If we had known that there was to be good skating, we would have seen that we had our skates and would have been able to indulge in our favorite sport. If we had worked only a little harder, we would have passed in English, or if it hadn’t been for the fouls made, we would have won the basketball game. Yes, “if” throws a different light on everything in life. I should like to abolish “if” from the English language, but I suppose if I did, another word just as important and trying would slip in to take its place. Yes, life demands that we submit to “if.” —Charles Leonard. 27. ONE NEW YEAR'S NIGHT It was New Year’s Night. An aged old man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes toward the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating, like white lilies, on the surface of a clear, calm lake. Then he cast them again on the earth, where still more hopeless beings than himself now moved toward their certain goal—the tomb. This New Year's Night made the sixtieth which he had passed, leading him closer and closer to his goal; and he had brought nothing but errors and remorse to his life. His health was destroyed, his mind vacant, his heart sor- rowful, and his old age devoid of comfort. The days of his youth rose in a vision before him. and he recalled the solemn moment when his father had placed him at the entrance of the two ways of life—one leading into a peaceful, sunny land, covered with the golden har- vest and resounding with soft, sweet songs; while the other conducted the wan- derer into a deep, dark cavern, where sin flowed instead of water, and where serpents hissed and crawled. He looked toward the sky, and cried out in his agony, “O youth return! O, my father, place me once more at the entrance of life, that I may choose the better way of life.” But the days of his youth and his father had passed away. He saw wandering lights floating away over the dark, wandering marshes and then disappear, as the days of his wasted life had disappeared. He saw a star fall from the heavens, and vanish in the darkness. He could imagine this as an emblem of himself; and the sharp arrow of unavailing remorse struck home to his heart. Then he remembered his early companions, who entered on life with him, but who, having trod the path of virtue and labor, were now honored and happy on this New Year’s Night. The bell, in the high church tower rang, and the sound falling on his ears recalled his parents’ love for him, their erring son, the lessons they had taught him, the prayers they had offered, upon his behalf. Overwhelmed with shame and grief, he dared no longer look toward the heavens where his father dwelt. His darkened eyes dropped tears, and with one despairing effort he cried out: “O, come back, my youth, my early days, come back.” And his youth did return, for all this was but a dream that visited his slum- bers on New Year’s Night. —Alice Funn, ’27 --------------------CRINON Page ninety-two NONSENSE AND SENSE I met a friend the other day as I was walking down-town, and as a matter- of-fact, we began that type of conversation which friends are often prone to indulge in. Quite casually I made the remark that if something exciting or different didn’t happen soon, I would surely run away. “Oh, nonsense,” laughed my friend. His remark did not strike me as significant at the time. Later on, however, I began to wonder, in an abstract way, why my remark should have been non- sense. Was I, when I said that I was tired of mv daily routine of work, talking nonsense ? Perhaps I should pause here long enough to define the word “nonsense.” Webster says that nonsense is that which does not make sense, or that which is illogical. Now I admit that there is nothing ambiguous about Webster; he is alwrays to the point, but I do not believe that he draws a sharp enough distinction between nonsense and sense. For example, take the little jingle which goes: “A greedy man is he who sits and bites bits off the plates, And then takes down the calendars and gobbles up the dates.” This, everyone agrees at once, is nonsense; but suppose we quote the fol- lowing from Shakespeare: “I am Sir Oracle and when I ope my lips let no dog bark.” No one would say that this is nonsense, and yet the Mother Goose charac- terization of a greedy man is just as true as Shakespeare’s “lean and hungry Cassius. Why, then, is one sense and the other nonsense? Let us take another illustration. Suppose two men each compose an opera. One of the operas is hailed by critics as a piece of work worthy to come from the pen of Gist or Mozart; the other, which is just as beautiful from the view- point of thought, is sarcastically called “a dainty bit of nonsense.” From which angle, then, does society judge what should be nonsense and what should be sense? It is a fact that it does not judge the excellence of a thing alone, nor from its thought, nor from the meaning which it is intended to convey. On the other hand, society is not always awake to that which is good, beautiful, and in all ways sensible. It sees as one blind mass the bad, the deformed, and the unworthy. Therefore, society’s judgment is very much apt to be fallible. All nonsense is not disconserting, and one may talk nonsense for the mere entertainment it affords. For example, a theater audience watches with intense interest and momentary appreciation, a group of painted women going through a series of absurd dances on the stage; or it listens attentively to a man shouting out the meaningless words of a popular song to the accompaniment of an orches- tra. Nonsense (?) yes, but how the audience drinks in that nonsense. Then the curtain drops, there is silence, the curtain rises again. A great man steps up to address the crowd. Applause. A half-hour passes, forty-five minutes go by; already the people are restless. They stir uneasily in their seats, yawn, and whisper now and then to their neighbors. The man on the stage is speaking in behalf of a great organization. His words are not meaningless; they ring with truth. He is speaking sense. Finally he sits down. There is applause, yes, but as the curtain goes up again for the show the applause becomes hysterical, and a sigh of relief comes from all sides of the theater. The man who had just spoken was too sensible; now the people must be given some nonsense to entertain them. So society judges; and to come into society’s favor there are but two ways open to you; the way of nonsense and the way of sense. If you would become famous in the great arts of science and mathematics, be sensible in all your theo- ries. If you would be great in literature and politics speak, only nonsense and the people will flock to listen to you. In either case, always remember that the fool of today becomes the philosopher of tomorrow. --------------------CRIMSON-----------------------------------— Page mnety-three OUTGROWN Little dress, your colors are faded; There's a tear in your shoulder, too; Rut 1 can part with you—never, ’Cause of memories brought back by you.

The falls cascaded at my feet. Then murmuring slipped on by. The mossy-green and slippery rocks Dripped silver with the spray. The shadow pockets beneath the ledge Were filled with murky gray. The water hurried over the rocks Into the waiting pool; Foam-fiecked, it rippled in the sun With shadowy depths and cool. Life splashes on as do the falls Into the mystic pool. Is it in vain to seek a way? Or am I just a fool? DUSK The silver stars glow dim in the dusk. And the breeze is a little more soft.

Each day his toil he finished When sunset foretold the night. On the brow of the hill he wandered, While in the valley below. The misty shadows deepened In the sunset’s after-glow. He often looked toward a hill Crowned by a building bold— Transformed in the sunset’s glory With windows of molten gold. He longed to visit this palace. With a longing deep-untold; Hut he could not leave his flock, Not leave his sheep in the fold. Oh the years were kind to the lad, For forty he dwelt on the hill; Then another took care of his flocks— And the windows were shining still! He crossed the shadowy valley And climbed the wooded hill; At the top he only found An old deserted mill! The disconsolate man looked out TAward the home that he had sold; And now he bitterly saw That it had windows of gold! DREAMS I sent my ship away To sail the deepest seas. Yes. sent it out one day To explore all lands and lees. I waited long and dreamed Of my ship that to lands would sail. And wished it thus, as I deemed In its course it might not fail. But when the waves around it dashed. My spirit seemed to flutter fast; Then louder grew the storm’s loud crashing, I prayed — and all was past. But since then I have learned to know My ship, a-saliing life’s dark sea. Many storms must undergo Before it brings my dreams to me. —Dorothy B. Graham. ’28.

MOONLIGHT I’ale moonlight makes me think of death And things beyond my ken; Of shapeless forms and fantasies And the destinies of men. When death comes seeking here for me, The moon will be full bright, And I shall be just like the moon— All still and cold and white. But I am glad that I shall die This cold and chilly way, For I should hate to die upon A summer scented day. EOG I am lost! Oh, I am lost In the gray swirls of the sea. A silver mist stole over the waves And fast enveloped me. All that I see is moist gray sand And frothing, throbbing waves; But what enchants me most Is the way the fog behaves. It’s first rush is so thick That it’s far too dense to see; But then it thins and on the hill I dimly see a tree! The fog is a spirit army Of those who are lost at sea— And sweep up-sweep up on the beach A gray thronged mystery. - CRIMSON------------------------------------— Page ninety-sis 10 27 SEA SONG I wandered alone on a wind swept hill Beside an old oak tree; The breeze was fresh and it whispered a song, A song of the open sea. Of men who sing as they jib the sails That reek and smell of tar; Of a salt-spray wind that whistles in The mizen mast and spar. Of brawny men who climb the ropes And swarm the bow and stern ; Of flashing waves that roll and play And in the ship’s wake churn. Of ships that sail to Singapore, Shanghai and Rangoon; Of glamorous nights in foreign ports Beneath a silver moon. Of a coral reef, edged round with sand, Where dark skinned natives play— And monkeys chatter in the palms That fringe the sapphire bay. Who cannot feel the urge to roam Across the seven seas? Who can resist the vagrant call Borne by the ocean breeze? —Bill Walton. GYPSY MOON 1. in. The pear tree stands Just brushed with snow Unmoving in Soft W inter’s glow.

Although they had no decent practice field, and several of their best players were injured, and they lost Captain Deweese just before the Springfield game, they were able to finish the season with four wins, three losses, and one tie, the tie being with our old rival Springfield. Although they were slow in getting started on Thansgiving Day, Jacksonville proved that there was no stopping them when they beat I. S. D. 6 to 0. Coach Mitchell is to be congratulated on his teams, considering the handi- caps under which he works. The members of the class of 1927 who were on the squad are hoping that in the near future J. H. S. will be able to own an ath- letic field as good as any in the Big Twelve. The football team will also remember Mr. Conover, who. on the night of November 15. 1926 entertained the members of the squad at the country club as a reward for tying with Springfield. Girl friends of the fellows were invited to a dance after the banquet. The results of the season are as follows: Jacksonville High School....... 25 Jacksonville High School........ 0 Jacksonville High School....... 12 Jacksonville High School........ 7 Jacksonville High School....... 27 Jacksonville High School... 6 Jacksonville High School...... 15 Jacksonville High School........ 6 Roodhouse High School.............. 7 Pekin High School................. 21 Champaign High School............. 34 Peoria Central.................... 31 Waverly High School................ 0 Springfield High School............ 6 Bloomington High School............ 2 Illinois School for Deaf........... 0 CRIMSON Pape one hundred four MARVIN BEERY. “Red” made a good showing at halfback for his first year out.

He was awarded a position on the Big Twelve All Star first team for the season 25-26. He proved to be a good leader who piloted his team through the district tournament and led them to be a “runner up’’ in the sectional tournament. A Senior. BOB CONOVER—GUARD “Bob’’ was a fast, aggressive player, rated by many as one of the best guards in this section. He possessed a good basket eye , a thing unusual for a back guard. A Senior. GENE KILHAM—FORWARD “Diz made a good record for himself as a basket shooter. He specialized on one- handed throws. A Senior.

CRIMSON------ Paye one hundred twelve DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The district tournament opened at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of March the tenth because of the large number of competing teams—sixteen in all. Popular opinion was that the fight for championship would be among the Winchester, Murrayville, and Jacksonville teams; however, I. S. D. proved to be the “dark horse, coming up with a strong team which battled J. H. S. for the champion- ship. At the end of two days the old D. P. gym had seen joy, disappointment, and even some tears, as the teams one by one were defeated. Finally, on Saturday night of March 12, at 8:15 o’clock, a record-breaking crowd packed the room to witness the final game. I. S. D. began with a rush, piling up a score of 14 to 9 by the end of the first half. J. H. S. was not defeated, however, but came back with a determina- tion to win. In the first few minutes the score was tied. Little by little our score increased, until when the final shot came, we were in the lead with a score of 20 to 17. The team of ’27 can see the trophy hung in the trophy case along with those of the winning teams of ’25 and '26, with a feeling of pride for having worked so hard for J. H. S. Much credit is due the members of the second team who played the most of two games in the tournament, thereby resting the first team men. They proved that they are splendid material for the first team next year. Jacksonville’s scores were: Jacksonville............. 33 Jacksonville............. 28 Jacksonville............. 25 Jacksonville............. 20 Waverly .............. 20 Roodhouse ............ 22 Franklin ............. 13 I. S. D............... 17 CRIMSON Page one hundred thirteen SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT This year is the first time that J. H. S. has had the honor of being host to the winners of the district tournaments in this section of the state of Illinois. The games of the sectional tournament were plaved on the nights of March 17. 18. and 19. Jacksonville was scheduled to battle with Pleasant Hill on the first night, playing the second game. After a hard-fought battle, J. H. S. came out on top with a score of 38 to 31. The team’s next foe was the Lincoln five, whose play- ing so evenly matched that of the local team that the score was tied during the most of the game. It crawled up two by two until each team had 18 points with one minute to play. The crowd was frantic; the players redoubled their efforts for but one more score, when from the center of the floor, a Lincoln forward shot the deciding basket, thereby winning by 20 to 18 points. The championship game was played on Saturday night when Lincoln bowed down to Athens with a score of 18 to 14. The scores for the tournament were: Quincy 20 Lincoln 26 Pleasant Hill 31 T. H. S 38 Chandlerville 21 Athens 35 J- H. S 18 Lincoln 20 Lincoln 14 Athens 18 CRIMSON Page one hundred fourteen REVIEW OF TRACK SEASON Shattering three conference sprint records, Urbana’s well balanced track team won the Central Illinois High School Conference carnival, scoring 33 points.

She’s past sweet sixteen, hut she’s never been kissed. No drinking or smoking has entered her sphere, To petting and kissing she turns a deaf ear. She loves to go riding, hut always with fear. Unless mother, or brother, or sister is near. Nine hells is her limit to spoon after night. Then she does all her spooning 'neath a hundred watt light. Now, that you should know her character well. Just glance at her features, most too good to tell. Her eyes are most darling, so azure and bright. They resemble the stars when they twinkle at night. Her hair is not red, it’s not flaxen, nor brown, But it’s fine and as golden as soft thistle down. A user of cosmetics she just simply (isn’t). Perhaps we might mention her little pug nose And to finish the rhyme, add her scarcely rolled hose. Her lips are of ruby, a deep crimson hue, hich disclose rows of pearls while conversing with you. We’ve learned of her character and features divine, So now for her garments we’ll drop just a line. Her dresses must always be stylish and chic. But for flapperish costumes she cares not a click. Her pumps might be alligator, deer skin, or calf. For in her appearance they matter not half. So this is the girl who we’d all like to meet. And say “There’s My Baby” just crossing the street. Now if one should say that his girl isn’t “phonev”. Just call all his wind a bunch of “balognie”. --------------------CRINON----------— Page one hundred fifty-two PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Andre and Andre Illinois College Ayers National Bank Jacksonville Tailoring Co.

Oh Yes. He had been on a ship—taking a voyage. Note he remembered. H ‘ had been on the ship on a four years’ voyage. The ship teas a merry place, just run- ning over with happy people.

Sort of like the color of the daffodils he had seen in the country last spring. A newsboy, ragged and dirty, ambled by shouting his wares. Colin threw open the window and smil- ingly called, “Here, boy.” Tossing him a bill, he shouted, “Keep the change.” And the daffodil sky seemed to smile down on him and his Ironic Adven- ture. 1 -•'Cm -7 6- 1 hjr lx, j • it j I i u d r ).
