SN ISbO tlie first Joliet Higii School building was erected at the corner of Chicago and Webster streets. Seventeen years ago, only the upper part of the building was employed for school purposes, as there were only two hundred students attending and a faculty of five teachers. As the result of an election held April J-th, 1899, a Township School was ' Oted which now occupie, a magnificent building at the corner of Eastern Avenue and Jefferson street, which, with its thousand students, its faculty of forty, its laboratories and equipment, its interior decoration, comfort and safety, is second to none, and equalled by few. The offices are the rooms most frequented by the public at large, and more or less so by the students. The ceilings and wainscoting are ft. .-- Uft ;2w «i « w ' ' y i. - OLD HIGH SCHOOL Page Fifteen THE JOLLIER OUTER OFFICE I % k m ' ' l of ancient oak.

WRESTLERS Page Twenty THE JOLLIER The physiog-raphy laboratory is t venty-fi e by forty feet, has six tables, each of which accommodates eight students. A demonstra- tion table also, at which there are gas, water, electric current, steam,- compressed air, steel standards, etc., is a feature. Globes, maps, and other necessary equipment for the studv of physio-graphy are supplied. Four rooms are gi -en up to the study of physics, with which most students have a broad experience. The usual demonstration table with gas, water, steam, electricity, compressed air, fifteen lockers and two key-boards for student use, is found. The entire equip- ment, features of which are the seconds ' clock, arc light, motor, dynamo, etc., is too large a subject for com- plete discussion. Let it be said here that the total equipment along such lines, is valued at $17,000. The phvsics ' recitation room has a demonstration table and thirty lecture chairs, and the lecture room the same, only it is fitted with a lant- ern and more convenient means of darkening. This room seats one hundred. Idle dynamo room contains a dynamo-motor, benches, tables, shelves, etc. The most important thing is the transformer. It recei ' es a current of 500 volts and de- livers it in outputs of 1:35 to 200 volts, in direct or al- WASHINGTON STATUE Three rooms are used in the sludv of chemistr - : Page Twentvone THE JOLLIER — the laboratory, the recitation room, and lectvn e room, (the latter two similarly equipped). In the laboratory are four student tables, each accommodating- eight. The tables are of oak, and are covered with glass plates and rubber pads. A pneumatic trough, lockers for personal apparatus, hoods, gas, water, electricity, and other usual con- veniences, are furnished here. The botany laboratory is 25 x 40 feet and has six tables, five op- posite to west windows. Storage rooms, acquaria for plants, and microscopes are found in addition to rhe ordinary fixtures. The reci- tation room is the same as those befo-e described. On the third floor at the head of the main stairway, ther e is a well-chosen reference library, containing about 5000 volumes. Here are five tables seating six persons at each, and a general reading table, where the latest fiction, school magazines, etc., are kept. The High School museum adds to the attractiveness of the school as well as figures prominently in the study of Zoology and Botany. In the museum are found a very extensive and complete collection of ail kinds of curios and specimens. Two metho-ls of heating are employed, steam and hot air. .-V fan, run by a steam engine, furnishes fresh air, and disposes of the impure. In one day, during the coldest part of the winter, fourteen tons of coal were used to heat the building. The finest work of art in the scliool, are the mural ])aintings presented by the class of 1905. They are six in number, and the first are to be seen at the main entrance, and the others on the main floor, at the head of tlie stairway. The pictiuxs represent the journev of Juliet and larquette. Pictures and statuary of all sorts, are placed in the building, among them a life size statue of A ' ash- ington, and a large reproduction of the Spirit of Scz ' cnfy-six. All the pictures and statuary about tlie building have lieen the presents of graduating classes. Page Twenty-two FACULTY 1 THE JOLLIER V llA lAM R. BLACKWELDER, B. A.

And first in High School halls appear, All there is strange and new; The Superintendent seems a god, The Office floor, ne ' er to be trod, Is sacred in our view; The Seniors, worshipped from afar. Seem heroes (which the} ' think they are), .We would be Seniors, too. II. But, when we reach the Sopliomores ' height, Things soon assume a truer light. And not so strange appear; From God to man, from man to friend. The Superintendent doth unbend. Lost is our former fear. We now, by turned-up trousers,- show- Class colors in our socks below. And dress in style most queer. III. As Juniors next we thrill, perchance, To throes of Puppy-lo -e romance With some young damsel fair. Who in a high and shining dome. Which reaches nigh the angels ' home. Doth pile her boughten hair. Or, with sonie rural burg, in bout Contend, to try who best can spout Forensic figures there. Page Thirtj ' -si.x THE JOLLIER IV. At last we gain the final goal, And think, as Senior, we control The school from roof to ground; Though many haunt the office door, How can I get one credit more? Is heard from all around. And, then, when comes Commencement Night, We read an essay, erudite. And filled with thoughts profound. V. March 19, 101 n.

It is hard, truly hard, to feel that our last preparatory school days are over and that we are going out into the broader world where greater responsibilities await us. Yet we feel that our four years ' struggle in the high school has developed our individual characters and given us the strength necessary to undertake and accomplish things in the life which opens before us. Some of us may enter higher institutions of learning, and have more time to consider our future. Others may be immedi- ately drafted into the service of a thriving business or industry. TBut no matter which of these paths we are to follow, wherever duty calls, let us remember the teachings of our Alma Mater, and in each separate encounter prove that we have the grit and perseverance which is necessar} ' to success.

Page Eiglity-two Senior Soliloquy ■THE scliool days with its duties -iid pleasures has closed. Tlie 1|l tlu-ongs of bright-eyed students have passeJ down the long- corridors and in gayly careless mood have gone out into the glor} ' of the springtime. Gradually the last tardy groups disperse anJ in the loneh ' silence, solitary I fall to musing. The last rays of the afternoon sun, entering the great windows of the Senior room, carelessly touch the sea :s and linger a moment as if. in silent blessing upon the eager young people who have s])ent so many hours here and dreamed so many dreams. Spirits of former classes seem to gather around me and whisper that the sun is also setting upon some of the happiest, careful days ever given us to enjoy. I stifle the sigh which rises, for another spirit whispers that this twi- light is the sunrise of life when in the first flush, nature awakens for us and we pause to catch the message. Behind lie the joys and sorrows of school days; beyond us stretch the unchartered seas and the winding roads which lead to achiev- ment and success. This evening hour in its sweetness and purity seems set aside for contemplation, when we dream of noble battles to be waged ; when we form brave resolutions. The shadows lengthen, the light dies out and l]n-() ' the silence comes a murmur which grows to a mighty surge of song, for youth in all its strength and Ijeauty is marching out to meet dawn.

Eighty-eight THE JOLLIER Class History ♦Y ' - ' H ' c iK ' t superstitious. But who among us fails to Icnock It j[ on wood three times when occasion demands? Is there anyone in tliis vast world who is foolhardy enough to look at the moon over his left shoulder. I. even I, a member of the ever famous Junior Class, went to a fortune teller, who, after she had her palm crossed with silver wove for me the woof and warp of our class history. This is tlie yarn she spun. The class of 1911, when still under the spell, cast o ' er them by the faculty, decided that Maroon and White should be the colors for which the stalwart imps of double one should battle. And battle they did. Through occult intiuence their hrs party, a masquerade, was obtained, and e ' en the few Sophs. and numerous reporters en- joyed the program prepared by the } ' oung ladies. Aside from that, their Freshman year was, in the main, uneventful. They had no class rushes and were far enough removed from the aborigines to have no class yells. The idea of interfering with the personal libert) of members of other classes and subjecting them to a treatment of hot air and milk diet was unheard of and would have met with belligerent opposition and broken he ids in earnest — for the other classes. We were sparks — but sparks that would not set the world on fire. The crystal into which she gazed became cloudy. I looked long and earnestly into it, but not until I had again crossed her palm with silver (Hcl it become clear. The next year ' s history began in full: Our first duty as sophs was to impress the fact of our super- iority upon the minds of the freshies. The class motto about this time was Do not let studies interfere with your high school life and it was carried out to a dot. Although all the world is a stage yet some of the young imps declared that they had ntn had a show when the reports came out. Ego — stultus — magnus sum — • ( I am a big fool) such should be my priwate motto for, since silence is golden, I had to pay the fortune teller some more money. Page Eiglity-niiie THE JOLLIER At last they were juniors, she sai l. No class rushes for them. But when some of the senior boys shinned the laboratory eaves and planted their banner on high, our boys could not stand it. The Juniors decided at once that such colors should not disturb the at- mosphere. Accordingly by aid of brawn, brains and wire clippers the flag was lowered in a few seconds. This year was marked by the first real sorrow when Samuel Mecham, our friend and class mate, was called by death on March 11th, 1910. So they struggled on winning basl-cet ball games, girls champion- ships, and annual contests, defeating the seniors and subduing the sophs, taking and flunking examinations. They say that days of miracles have passed — but we expect to be seniors next year. W ' e ha ' e acted our part, and there all the honor lies, for All ' s well that ends well. Song of a Junior When it rains and blows and drizzles And I miss that car once more, When mv stock of sunshine fizzles And life is one big sore : Seniors then are lucky mortals. l heydl soon leave these gloomy portals. It ' s hard to be a Junior ith a whole year uK re. But when violet-time is nearing. And quick fancies rise and soar. A dien the air thrills keen and cheering Round the towers that I adore ; Poor old Seniors look cpiite dumpy. No wonder they ' re so grumpy,. — It ' s good to l:ie a Junior With a hole vear more.

Have you never heard that be- j fore? If not you must have been following Rip Van Winkle ' s example for the past few years. At any rate we now take pleasure in introducing ourselves to those who do not know us, and in relating some of our history to those who have not followed us closely. The class of 1912 entered the J- T, H. S. in Sept., lOOS, with the determination to equal, if not surpass in all branches of activity, all other class organizations. In October, 1908, we met for our first election of officers and the election returns were as follows: Pres., Arthur Piepenbrink ; Vice Pres., Gilbert Giffin ; Sec, Clark Lentz ; Treas., Genevieve Wilcox. With this capable Cjuartet as our leaders we started upon a career which is to be envied by many classes. Our first attempt was made at the annual contest in 1908, and here we scored our first success, liss IMattie Lewis, our representative in reading, defeated her Sophomore opponent by a unanimous decision. With this victory to inspire us. we org ' anized girls ' and bovs ' basket ball teams, determined to gain greater glory. Both teams were composed of excellent players and made a splendid record for freshmen. W ' e next organized a class baseball team and in a decisive battle defeated the Sophomores. We then had the pleasure of fighting with the 1910 ' s for the school championship and were defeated by a score of only y to 1. In the spring of 1909 AWU Hamilton was elected Captain of our track team. The 1912, although they gained only fourth place, field day showed that they were the embryo of some fine athletes. Gilbert Giffin, a second Merit, won first place in the discus throw. At the beginning of the new term we again elected class officials. The returns this time were: Pres., Andy Witwer: Vice Pres., Mai Gray; Sec, Jean McNaughton ; Treas., AA ' endall Gesler ; Yell Master, Howard Copley ; and t [Mistress. Anna Marie Mc- Grew. We are now Sophomores, and expect to uphold that name better than did our predecessors. At the Annual Contest, in Xov. 1909, Page Ninety-five THE JOLLIER we again scored a victory in reading. Miss Nina McKa3 our representative, won from her opponent through excellent work. Next came our annual class party, which took the form of- a masquerade. The corridors, offices and the assemble hall of the building was gor geously decorated in our class colors, purple and gold, and presented a very pleasing spectacle. About one hundred and fifty Sophomores gathered and enjoyed the various amuse- ments and did justice to the dainty ' ' efreshments. The greatest success of the year was the record established by the Sophomore boys ' basket ball team. In a comparatively easy game for the Sophomores, the Juniors were defeated by a score of 19 to 1:2 and thus we established ourselves in second place for school championship. The class of 1910 won the championship, but not until the Sophomores made them earn it. In March 1910 we again elected officers, this time choosing: Pres., John Donahue; Vice Pres., Dorothy Mock: Sec, Faith Hae- fele; Treas., Ferril Butler; Yell Master, Howard Copley and Yell Mistress, Madeline Woods. This is a record for any class to b- proud of, and the Class of 191:3 expects to leave the high school in a blaze of glory. — Sophomore Scribe. ] ' age Ninety-six FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICIALS KELLY SPRACUE SCULLY TAYLOR THE JOLLIER List of Class Members Edna Armagast Carl Anderson Forest Allcut Robert Alvin Maurice Arnold Arden Ackert Elsie Anderson Roy Aldridge Roy Anson Florence Andrews Ruth Burnell Axel Anderson Harold Anderson Howard Atchison Clarke Baker John Barnes Hazel Barton Alildred Bigelow Ramond Bressie Herman Burkhard Elsworth Bowman Harvey Brockway Arthur Blackman Ruth Bissell Gertrude Brown Harold Bruce Anna Mae Barnes Loretta Bell Margeret Brayton Lorena Bennet Leslie Brooker Albert Brown Arthur Burns Florence Barringer Susie Burns Lester Barne Charles Bolyn Ruth Brooker Edmund Bischman Andra Birdsall Harold Clark Leo Cunningham Arthur Chaloupha Vida Gary Genevieve Connors Charles Cattcrmole Merril Clark Gednah Curtiss Loren Carve ' Hazel Campbell Margaret Corcoran Ivy Carlson Ambros Creightern Winifred Connor Clara Campbell Ethel Crandall Page One Hundred Hamel Donohue Geraldine Daley Edis Delander Francis Darlington Sarah Dawson Alae Denneny Irene Dodson Blanche Dibble Esther Dudley Leroy Dice William Donaldson Hazel Davis Genevieve Downey Ralph Diedrich Harold Downey Paul Denneny Genevieve Drake Wilmer Exstrom Wilding Erickson ' Ihurston Erickson Raj ' mond Erickson Irene Emerick Julius Fahrner Roy Fox Helen Francis Feme Fuller Gladys Fulton Ruth Funk Clara Feazer Irene Fleischer Madeline Ficks Joseph Fitzgerald aIter Geisler Alathew Goodall Fred Grassle Oscar Grubb Genevieve Gray Helen Goist Rurnard Gleason John Greyback Walter Gougar Mary Giffon Myron Gunn Alarv Galagher Louis Given John Gooflspeed ' : Iae Gluick Grace Hall Vivian Ha} ' Pearle Hershberger Rose Haynes Helen Hume Clara Bell Humphrey Van da Huskey Jane Hyde Jennie Hardy Alvira Herbert Mason Holsworth Brown Higgins George Herbert Earl Huston Louise Hammond Marguerite Hennesy Angela Haley Dorothy Hoefer Lewis Herath Ruth Ingoldsby James Jackson Ralph Johnson Harry Johnson Harold Johnson Irvin Jones Archie Johnson Ruth Johnson Robert Jones Elvis Johnston ] Iary Johnston Arvid Kastman AValter Keip Esther Kestle Frank Kelly Edith Kesser Irene Keefer Raymond Kiegher Elmer Kelly Sarah Laraway Beda Leaf Hazel Lloyd George Leslie Ruben Lawson Merman Lindberg Alma Lewis Elmer Lingdon Gladys Lichenwalter Arthur Lewis Eugene Lennon William L ' ons Marie Lowery Carl Johnson Malvin Lundberg Frank Mahr.

But the rest where can they be? They hop and skip and jump all day, Neath a teacher ' s accusing eye At the end of the term theres dickens to pay. They shivered and shook and began to cry.

Each bearing home his tale of woe, To Pa -and ] Ia their troubles take Oh my! but how their heads did ache. Their heads like empty paper bags That almost busted on the snags. Of Algebra and Latin too As wearily they waded through. The school room clock ticks time away, This the only sound till another da Stilled is the laughter and all of the noise. That lately was made by the girls and boys. Thus the day drags slowly through First came one o ' clock; then came two Three o ' clock and a quarter to four Then hlling from room 34, Two little mice with a crumb between May now on the school room be seen Soon they scamper awa} ' to their nest. And at last the school rooni is at rest. Page One Hundi ' ed One THE JOLLIER Freshmen in History w E entered the High School with the hurry and flurry that only Freshmen can make. After many thrilling experiences we found ourselves distributed :•]! over the building. A few weeks after entering we had our first class meeting which, indeed, was a howling success. One particularly interesting feature of it was that the woman ' s suffrage spirit was brought out strongly by Ruth Scully who, on seeing that no girls had been nominated for any office, arose from her seat and gave us a short speech on womans rights. Two girls were nominated and in the following election Thomas Sprague was elected President, Ruth Scully, Vice President, and Sarah Taylor, Secretary and Treasurer. Burnt orange was chosen as our class color, in compliance with the request of the class of 1905. At the usual contest this fall our class scored a signal victory. Silas Peterson, our representative, defeated his Sophomore opponent, while Geraldine Daly th(Uigh defeated, was a representative of whom we are justl} ' proud. As to basket-ball, the girls team beat the Junior girls in a hard game 8 to 7. The boys in a game with the Ko Ko Midgets beat them 17 to 11. Some time ago our boys were beaten in a ba.sket-ball game by the Juniors 37 to 11. Freshmen are not supptised to do great things so we hold our heads high and hope for better things in the future. On the e -ening of March 11, II ' IO we had cnn- first class party which was a masquerade. All of the members were dressed in clothes suitable for the occasion.. Everything was fine; the entertainment given by the members assigne;d to that duty was excellent and was led by Ruth Scully. The other characters were also exceedingly good. The audience of about 2(H) was composed of members of the faculty and the class. After the entertainment refreshments were served and at 10 :30 we left the High School for our homes. Our career as Freshmen is nearly closed, but borrowing a sug- gestion from the class of 1905 we cry : 1913 FOREVER Ra! Ra! Ra ! Ra! 1913 Ra! Ra! Ra ! Ra ! 1913 Ra! Ra! Ra!

Page One Hundred Six ' ' W THE JOLLIER Angela s Muslin Gown First Honor HY, Angela Louise North! cried Laura Weston, grasp- ing her friend ' s hand, and drawing her from the surging crowd of the busy shopping street into a secluded corner of a nearby entrance. Aniat are yoii doing in all this rush? Angela exclaimed w ' ith delighted surprise : Why, Laura — You? Is ' nt this fun! Where are you going? Buying all my Class-Day things, answered Laura. Gown, hat, shoes, gloves, everything! It ' s such fun to be really going, she ad- ded with all the enthusiasm and joyousness which a girl of eighteen always feels over her first Class-Day. That ' s just what Lm doing, broke in Angela. You know I did ' nt expect to have a new gown. Mother thought my muslin would do perfectly well. We ' re economizing a little, she went on brightly, because it ' s Bob ' ; . Class-Day, and of course we longed for him to have everything as he wished it. ' Its once in a life-time, ' Papa says. Yes; and Bob has done so well, rejoined Laura. Of course you are going to everything? Oh, yes, Auditorium, gymnasium, and four spreads — won ' t it be fine? Now if it ' s only pleasant! and she cast a troubled glance at the sky. Here it is three weeks before the date for Class-Day, and they laugh at me so at home because Papa says that already I wail if there is a cloud, even if it ' s no bigger than a moscjuito. Laura laughed merrily. But the gown? she asked. Oh, yes, Angela answered: Well, you see we invited Uncle Robert Jones, Mamma ' s bachelor brother, on from New York for Class-Day. Bob is named for him, and he is a Harvard man, too. He wrote to say he was ill, or lie would surely come, and he said he was awfully proud of Bob, saw the doings notice in the paper. So he sent Bob a check for fifty dollars to buy sometliing Ijy which to re- member the day. Later I guess he happened to think of me, for in a few days a check f(M- the same amount came for me, and with it a let- ter saying it was a pity I wasn ' t a boy too, to show the Jones grit as Bob had, but that he hoped I ' d show it some other way. It sounded Page One Hundred Seven THE JOLLIER rather dubious, for he never lias Hked girls. Angela laughed a pretty, defiant little laugh. And so you are g iing to have the new gown after all, cried Laura eagerly. How perfectly lovely! ' Yes, is nt it? And Angela gave her friend s arm a sympathetic little scjueez e. I wish you would come with me while I select it. I should love to, my dear, but I have a list of errands yards in length, and I must not, answered Laura, affectionately, I must fly this minute. Be sure to tell Bob how perfectly splendid we all think he is. Yes, I will — we ' re awfully proud of him, too. Do come over some time — soon — and tell me all about your new gown. ' and Angela nodded a good-by, calling as a parting farewell : Don t you hope it won t rain? Don t speak of it, laughed Laura, as she was swept off in the swirl of the crowd. Angela turned and entered the big store, in the door way of which they had been standing, and sank down liefore the glove counter. White silk gloves, please, I guess I want the elbow length, she said to the salesgirl, absent mindedly tossing over a counterful before her. The girl turned and opened a drawer, and while looking through its contents, she spoke to another girl l;eside her. Angela caught tlie words: And so Lve got to give up our vacation. I do not mind so mucli, ])ut little sister Florence is heart Ijroken. She has never been into the real countr}- in all her life, and never .spent a night out of the city. I promised she should go this summer, and tlie poor little thing needs it. too. I can get along all righi myself. She found the gloves for which she had l)een searching and brought them to the counter, an ' : while she fitted and worked them on with patient care, Angela looked up and examined the pale, tired face. The purchase was concluded, and wliile she waited for her change, she tap- ped her fingers nervousl}- on the edge of the counter and furtivelv studied the girl. It flitted through lier mind that she was about her own age, but that her girlishness was entirely gone, and she was a worn, pensi e woman. When the change came, Angela took it automatically and walked llioughtfully to the distant part of the store where the white gowns Page One Hundred Eight T H E JOLLIER were sold. She handled the fascinating varieties absently. In some indefinable way. their delicacy and uselessness jarred upon her. Two or three times she took them up an:l put them down again, and at last she rose and walked with definite ])urp(ise back to the glove counter. The girl who had waited upon her came forward with a faint smile of recognition, and Angela sat down on the revolving stool and burst out abruptly : I did ' nt mean to listen, Imt I couldn ' t help hearing what you said about your vacation anJ about Florence. Won ' t you tell me about it? I really wish you would. A flush of surprise colored the cheeks of the girl behind the counter, and she hesitated, touched by the note of interest and sympathy in Angela ' s voice. Why, you see, my mother has been ill, she said, with simple dignity. There are just three of us. and it has taken all the money we could save for doctor ' s bills, and so our vacation has gone into that. She smiled bravely. Angela put her hand on her purse, but the girl went on with a proud little gesture : It ' s all paid up, and one of our friends, a lady who trades here, has asked mother out to her country home for all summer, so you see we are very well off, after all. But your own vacation? Angela persisted, impressed by the girl ' s unselfishness. Oh, yes, we ' ve got to give that up. I don ' t mind much about my- self, a little sigh escaped her lips, but Florence has never been away. She .is si.xteen. We were going to a Vacation House in New Hamp- shire for two whole weeks, l)ut perhaps we can go next year. How much would it cost to go? inquired Angela, her eves sliin- ning with a sudden thought that had just popped into her head. The girl looked honestly into the flushed face of the kindly cus- tomer. We could do it for sixteen dollars — fares and all, she said. Angela rose quickly and put out her hand with hasty determina- tion: Here is twenty-five dollars. I do not need it — it was given me to use as I liked. I want } ' ou and Florence to have vour trip to Xew Hampshire just as you ])lanned. and please spend the rest for One llnadred Xine THE JOLLIER the little things you may need, and before the astonished girl could recover herself, Angela was gone. So it was the old muslin that went to school on Commencement day, and while the whole family wondered and speculated, they were obliged to admit among themselves that Angela had never before looked prettier or seemed more like an angel than now. The fellows didn ' t seem to mind sis ' s old clothes, laughed Bob teasingly, as they discussed the great tvent one evening several weeks later. I say, Angela, he went on, Miat are you going to do with your money? Nothing, said Angela, briefly. It ' s all spent; I bought new gloves, white shoes and stockings, ribbons and — and — . You didn ' t blow it all in on those — I know that, pursued Bob teasingly. Robert said his mother, do not be so inquisitive; remember it was Angela ' s to spend as she chose. Still the mother looked a trifle anxiously at her daughter, not a little mystified by her unusual sil- ence. Miss Jennette and Florence Ridlyn to see Miss Angela, said the maid entering and making the annoUiicement to Angela. To see me? exclaimed Angela in surprise. Why, I know no such people! Well you ' ll have to show them in here. Papa has com- pany in the library. The maid returned, ushering in two plainly, but neatly dressed girls, the younger of whom ran eagerly forward, regardless of the others in the room, and siezing both of Angela ' s hands looked up into her face and said : I ' m Florence — Jennie and I found out who you were — they knew at the store — and we just had to come. We got home today. Oh! it was beautiful! q never can thank you enough, — never. a little sob choked the girl. Gradually it all came out, and Angela, her mother, and Bob listened to enthusiastic tales of real mountains. all the milk you wanted, berries you could truly ]3ick yourself, and the joyous over- flow of sweet sixteen ' s first glimpse of a country vacation. It was a long story, but the ring of perfect tlelight and the freshness of the childish wondei ' S held them all spell bound. Florence has gained nine pounds and I six, said Jennie with a Paee One Hundred Ten THE JOLLIER quiet echo of pleasure in her voice. We never had such a good time in all our lives. She rose to go and timidly put out her hands into Angela ' s. There was no need to say she was rested. The cheeks had a faint color, and the dark circles were quite gone from her eyes, which fairly shown with health. Angela moved to the door and wished them good night with promises to come to see them, and then returned to the room, her eyes glowing with happiness. Her mother rose and kissed the brown hair and then went into the library without a word. Bob fidgeted. He was evidently ill at ease. ' T say, Angela, he broke out at last, that made me feel like a two year old kid. Here I have gone and spent every cent of my money for some of Mark Twain ' s and Kipling ' s books and subscriptions to Popular Mechanics and Saturday Evening Post for myself, while you — while Pd give anything to have the pleasure you ' ve had out of yours. I guess if Uncle Robert Jones k ' new, he ' d say that you didn ' t need to be a boy, and that there are some other things in the world lots better than the Jones grit. Glenn C. Smith, 1911. Page One Eleven THE JOLLIER The Transformation of the Doctor SECOND . Honor . . I HE story which I am about to lell liappened to me a long, long i|L time ago, and to this day I have never heard of an experience like it. I was sitting in my study one evening, after a hard day ' s work, ' when an old friend of mine came in to have a visit. As we were both ])]iysicians, it was not unnatural that our conversation slioulfl drift into tlie different effects which certain foods h.ave upon the human ])(jily. Soon my friend asked me if I knew what peanuts would do to a person if they were eaten continuously for a definite time. I replied that I did not, and he volunteered to tell me. I must say I was provoked with him for wishing to talk of such a common- place thing, but he had not said much before I became interested. I ha e just learned lately. said he. that if a person will eat enough peanuts at one time, that something strange will happen to liim. I was much amused at this statement and made a great deal of fun of him. He then became quite angry with me and said I could try it myself and perhaps then I would believe him. As I was ex- tremely fond of this nut, I was inclined to test his experiment and toll him so. When he heard of my intention, he would not tell me the results, but looked queer and merely said I -ould find out. I was only half in earnest when I agree d to test it, and thouglit he was jok- ing, but, later, when I discovered he really meant what he said I would not be outdone by him, but assured him that I would begin on his plan at once. He rose to go almost immediately afterwards. I did not see him again until about eigiit months later. I will now tell you what happened in the meantime. I began eat- ing peanuts, and soon after my frienfl ' s visit he was called away by the death of his sister and was gone several months. As for me, I ate peanuts steadily for two months, and on exactly the last day of the second month, I found, to my gre ' it horror, that I had turned into a peanut. This was what would happen to anyone who ate peanuts long enough. I had at last made the discovery. On the very first night of my peanut-hood I was visited by a troop of other peanuts, and the leader saiJ to me, Thirteen months ago to- night we made a rule that every person who ate peanuts steadily for Page One Twelve THE JOLLIER two months or longer, should turn into a peanut for a certain length of time, and if at the end of his allotted time he had obeyed my rules, he then would be allowed to return to his former life. I was greatly surprised at what had happened, but I could do nothing to change matters. The leader of the band told me to come with them and they would take me to the large storehouse where all the peanuts were put until sold or used in various ways ; and if at the end of seven months, I had not been eaten, I could again be a man. I accompanied them rather reluctantly, a nd we soon came to the great building where I found other creatures as unfortunate as myself. Nothing happened for about four months. Then one nice morning I was sold, with a lot of other peanuts, to a man who kept a fruit stand. About four weeks later, a beautiful young lady came to the stand and bought a large bag of peanuts which she took with her. I happened to be in the bag, and, on her way home, I heard her tell the girl with her that she was going to shuck and salt them. I fairly turned pale when I thought what my doom would be, and determined to implore the lady to spare my life. The very next morning she began to shuck the nuts. My turn came at last. She picked me up and was in the act of cracking me, when I cried out, Oh, dear lady, do not crack me. I think I must have startled her dreadfully because she dropped me as quickly as if I had been hot. I was not injured by my fall, but laughed softly. I had fallen onto the table, and she left me lying there and finished the other nuts. Then she picked me up gingerly, and was about to make a second attempt, when I said more gently, Please don ' t crack me, but keep me safe, and in a while — I can ' t tell exactly how long — I will surprise you greatly. Only have patience and faith in me. She re- garded me rather doubtfully, but at last took me away to her room and shut me up in a box. Just before she closed the lid, I asked her her to come back in about two months. She promised and then left me alone and in the dark. While I was in my prison the thought came to me, How am I go- ing to get out? I wondered if she would return before my seven months were up. Yes, she did. When she lifted the lid I asked her to take me down into tlie drawing room. She was much puzzled by my strange request, but after a moment ' s hesitation she did what I asked. Page One Thirteen THE JOLLIER Five days later I had a very strange feeling, and before I could think what was happening, I was a man again. I was so happy to be my own self once more, that just to be perfectly sure I rushed to a large mirror at the other end of the room. In going to the mirror I had to pass a door leading into the next room. The beautiful lady was in there, and, upon seeing me, she cried out in surprise and rushed to the door. I bowed and asked her if she remembered the peanut she saved for so long. She said, Yes, but looked bewildered. I begged her not to be alarmed but to sit down and I w ould tell her of the very extraor- dinary experience which I had had. .She looked at me (lou])tfullv, but when she saw that I was well dressed, she took a seat : and, sitting be- side her, I related everything that had happened to me up to the time I came to her house. You can imagine how surprised she must have been. .Vs I have mentioned. I had not seen my friend until at our wed- ding. Of course we fell in love with each other and were married. I had expected to be very angr}- with him, ])ut since it was through him that I met the lovely lady who is now my wife, I forgave him entirely for persuading me to try his peanut experiment. Florence M. Rayworth, 10. Page One Fourteen (i THE JOLLIER The Lost Opal Third Honor X one of Chicago ' s main streets, a group of three men, one of whom, named Mr. Rayno -, stood one afternoon, dis- cussing politics. After standing for some time, a heavy wind arose, accompanied by snow Hurries, and it became intensely cold. Let ' s go and have some lunch, spoke one. Yes, let us do, said the other. AA ' ell, I don ' t mind, said ]Mr. Raynor, I am rather hungry my- self. So the three men entered a nearby lunch room, seated themselves before a table in the rear of the r(iom, read the menu and gave their order. Shortly after, the waiter brought their lunch, and they pro- ceeded to eat. It is terrible to be hungry, said one, with his eyes .scanning the small feast set before him. Isn ' t it though? said the other. Well, said Mr. Raynor, speaking of being hungry, and unable to supply your wants, reminds me of an incident which occurred dur- ing my business career, of which I often think. Reading in the papers one evening, of the great profit in opals, I determined to invest in them and came to New York the next day. I bought some stock, and within a year my income was increasing enor- mously. I then thought of getting other people interested and tried to think of some scheme. I decided to have a banquet and invite my rich friends to attend. I also invited my old college friend, wdiom I had learned had been overcome with po ' ertv, and in a desolate condition, strug ' gling to take care of his sick sister. They both were really starving by de- grees. I determined to invite him, not with the purpose in view of having him invest, for he had not a penny, but for the sole reason of giving him one real, good meal. All the guests arrived on the day appointed including my poor friend, and after the eating part was finished, I passed the jewels around so they could be examined by all. . mong them was a price- less opal, and one I would not sell, being the largest e -er found. Page One Fifteen THE JOLLIER When the tray containing the jewels came to the third man from the end, the jewel was missing. Every man had seen it and we shook the napkins and tablecloth in a hope of finding it, but all in vain. It happened that this man sat next to my college friend, and the man be- fore him said he handed it to my friend, and the latter said he had given it to him, but did not know what had become of it. ' Well, ' said one, ' considering ourselves all honest, let each man be searched. ' But my friend refused, and said he would not be searched. Well, of course each one suspected him, and his face became red, but yet he would not be searched, and said he had not the priceless jewel. Later in the afternoon, after each one had incjuired of me, the conditions of stock they departed, saying that they regretted that such a mishap had occurred, and if any news coukl be heard on the matter they would report it to me. But my friend on the contrary left with- out thanking me and with his head down. Three years after the fatal day niy poor friend appeared to me in my office, not in a poverty and distressed manner, but well dressed and well appearing. ' Good afternoon, ' he said nervously. ' Good afternoon, ' I replied. ' I suppose vou know vour once would-l)e friend, he said, ' I have come to ask a favor of you, and make a confession. ' ' Anything I can do for you, will be a pleasure, ' I said rather slowly. ' It was I, ' he said ' that took that opal at the bancjuet that day, be- cause I knew of the sickness of my .sister, and having no means of helping her, I sold the opal, received a goodly sum for it, sent my sister to a special doctor, invested the remainder of the money and be- came rich. I then went back to the man whom I sold the opal to, and after trailing its course for a short time I succeeded in buying ' t back, at just three times the price for which I sold it and here it is. ' ' He handed me the jewel, with tears in his eyes, and proceeded: I wish also to give you as a gift, this sum of money, which he handed to me tied in a bag. ' No, I said, the jewel is all I wish and I will forgive and try to forget. NoRiNE Bannon, 10, Page Ono Sixteen THE JOLLIER Cyril C. Thompson. J. T. H.

To the high sc ' iool body, certainly not, but as to the public — well, allow us to introduce Capt. Colquist. He is highly regarded by the whole student body, and has proved him- self worthy of all the praises bestowed upon him by both upper and lower classmen. A capable master of all he surveys, he has guarded with care and solicitude the high school property and his own rights for the past ten years. Like the rays of a bright meteor, his kindness and help which are con- tinuall y shed across the students ' path, leave a trail of light, which, in its illumination, makes easier the task of both students and faculty. During the time he has labored in this institution, many classes have come and gone. But still our friend has stayed, witnessing ; 11 our triumphs and defeats, and, it may be said, aiding many victories. To say that the classes appreciate these things is expressing it mildly. The Ten class, which for four years has received such a great share of his help, expresses its heartfelt gratitude for the interest he has taken in their work. Page One Twenty-five MISCELLANEOUS PICTURES THE JOLLIER High School Glee Clubs m BOYS ' GLEE CLUB HAT has been accomplished in all other departments of the high school course, has been equalled by both boys ' and girls ' glee clubs in their work. At the beginning of this season, Mr. Carol S. Songer took charge of the glee clubs, replacing Miss Salisbury, who was imable, because of the large amount of work that she was conducting in Chicago, to be longer with the school. The conditions were ne v to Mr. Songer; but, after a long period in which the glee clubs remained idle while attention was being paid to the general chorus work, a call was issued for members. There were many candidates for both clubs; and, considering the comparatively short time they have been practicing, very creditable work has been accomplished. The boys ' glee club has chosen Mr. George With as general manager for this season. Several programs have been arranged outside of the school, and the glee club is practicing for public performances in the school. Page One Twenty-nine THE JOLLIER The Commercial Department ■THE Commercial Department, as such, began its existence in the fall of ll 1900, being coexistent with the Township High School. It was organized under the leadership of Mr. Chas. AI. Simcoke, now at the head of the same department in the McKinley High School, Saint Louis. He was followed by Mr. O. C. Horine. Under these two the department was brought to its present efficient condition, and nothing was left to their successor save to maintain the high standard they had set. The ecjuipment of the department is exceptionally good. It is housed in most attractive and roomj quarters. All the conditions favor good work. • The department offers one year ' s work in Gregg shorthand, one in touch typewriting, and one in the fundamentals of bookkeeping. Allied work in commercial geography, business law, commercial arithmetic, and industrial history is offered in the other departments of the school, making the entire commercial course quite the equivalent of that offered in almost all other schools of its grade. With half a year more of work in shorthand, typewrit- ing, and bookkeeping and a year of special work in business English, it would challenge comparison with the best schools in the country. As it now is, in connection with the typewriting, work in commercial correspondence is being done that excels anything given in most of the strictly commercial schools. The work as offered in the high school has an advantage over that that can be given in business schools in that insistence can be laid upon a right foundation for the work. The excellence of the department, not its size, can be the objective in a public school course of this kind, for revenue from the department does not enter into the problem. The aim of this particular de- partment in this school is to turn out office help of the better grade, laying stress not only upon proficiency in the three branches taught but upon the business habits, courteous, honorable character, and general efficiency of the graduate. To that end, no one is allowed to take up shorthand and type- writing without having had two years of high school English, and no one enters the bookkeeping class without having had a year of high school arith- metic. Many of the pupils in the department are postgraduates of the high school, and it is not to be wondered at that many of them have managed to enter at once upon very good positions in the business world. Within six months of the end of the school year, out of one class four were holding posi- tions paying respectively fifty, fifty-five, sixty, and sixty-five dollars a month. Two have themselves taught like departments in other high schools, and a number of others were fitted so to do had they not, instead, chosen office work.

Besides being by far the oldest club ' in the school, it has nearly seventy-five members. The only persons that are permitted to join the club are those who have carried a grade of eighty-five or more, for a whole semester. The club prints a folder once a year and meets the first Wednesday in the month for the discussion of scientific papers. The club has an annual banquet, at which time it usually presents the school with a picture of some great botanist. The social meetings consist of fudge parties, hay-rack rides, feeds, skating parties, bob rides, etc. The officers at present are: President, Lola E. Hart; Vice President, Mary V.

Page One Thirty-one THE JOLLIER The Surveying Class A COURSE in sur eying is seldom found as a regular course in a high school curriculum. It was first offered in J. T. H. S. in 1905, and a great opportunity has thus been presented to those students who are contemplating an engineering course. The requirements for survey- ing are plane and solid geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry. The department is very well equipped, having a compass, one level, and one transit, — all first class instruments — a sextant, chains, tape, leveling rods, flag poles, and all other necessary apparatus. The course aims to give a general knowledge of the field of surveying, and as much of the work is done in the field as weather conditions will permit. The work done includes practice in the use of the chain and tape for measuring distances, angles, and areas. The work with the level, compass and transit is made as practical as it can be by running levels and grades, mak- ing measurements and calculations for sewers, railroad lines, topographic maps, and the like. Thus the course offered in the J. T. H. S. is not excelled by any high school course throughout the country.

Page One Thirty-four ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS LEONARD FISCHER WITH SCHVESSLER Page One Thirty-seven ♦ ' THE JOLLIER Athletic Association AT the close of school in June, 1009, the Athletic Association held its sixteenth annual election, choosing Ferdinand Fischer, President ; Gilbert Giffin, Vice President ; Fred Schuessler, Secretary ; and Phil Leonard, Treasurer. In September Giffin did not return to school, and George With was elected Vice President. The Association ruled that no person could be entered in any basket-ball game or take part in track work, without being a member. This membership not only permitted a student of the high school to take part in any form of high school athletics, but also permitted him an entrance, without additional charges, to the class basket-ball games and track meets. This plan has proved a great success as shown in its membership, which now has reached the 146 mark. 50 of these are ' lO ' s, 31 are Tl ' s, 39 are T2 ' s, 20 are T3 ' s and 3 P. ' G ' s. The basket-ball season has proved a great success on the finan- cial side. Both the class games and the school games, the latter played in the Central G3 ' m., contributed money to the treasury. After pay- ing the expenses of visiting teams, buying sweater vests for the te ' am, and paying expenses to the championship series at DeKalb, there still remains a small amount of money for the coming track meets, which will be held at Dellwood Park, where it is expected several of the old records will be broken.

A ' e have only five of last year ' s letter men back, but there are many promising beginners to support them and help fill tlie vacancies left by such men as Williams, Lowery, Giffin and Shaw, who have left school to seek higher honors either in universities or elsewhere.

P?ge One Forty h h to O o 9 « O 5 to THE JOLLIER Review of the J. T. H. 5. Basket-Ball Team SEASON 1909-1910. ,. I ' HE High School Basket-ball team played this 3fear sixteen match 1|L games. We were defe ated twice by Hinsdale, last year ' s champions, the only team that could accomplish the feat. The Armour Institute Freshmen beat us once, however. We scored in the whole season 592 points, to our opponents ' 333. The team was cap- tained by Ferd Fischer, and managed by L D. Yaggy. We opened our season on December third by playing the strong Armour Institute Freshmen. Every player went into the game with a determination to win, and we won. AVhen the smoke of battle blew away so that we could re d tlie marks on the score-board, it looked something like this: Armour 15, Joliet 32. Our next game was with the Geneva High School on December tenth, on our own floor, where the Armour game had also been played. This time we were again victorious, winning by the large score of 50 to 9. The game was not in doubt from the start, as we got baskets from all parts of the field, while the guards held Geneva helpless. The team did not disband for vacation at Christmas, but came out regularly to practice, although they couldn ' t resist the call of the turkey and had to break training as to diet. Our first game after vacation was on January seventh, at Ot- tawa, where we met the strong high school team. The game was played in the . rmory where dances are held : and. owing to the poor condition of the baskets and to the slippery floor, we were greatly handicapped. This, however, only made us work the harder, and, as a local newspaper put it, They came, they played, and they conquered. The score was: Joliet 31, Ottawa 2-1. According to Ottawa ro ' Oters, we were to meet our AVaterloo when they played us in Joliet, but, as you will see later, conditions were just reversed. Our next game was on January fourteenth at Joliet, with the fast Wlieaton team. Although we won by a score of -43-23, the game was very interesting, and some excellent exhibitions of team work were given, to the delight of the rooiers. On January twenty-first, the team played West Aurora at its Gym, on which trip we were accompanied by about fifty rooters on a Page One Forty-two THE JOLLIER special car. At the school the rooters let loose and completely drowned out the large ( ?) crowd of Aurora supporters. Before the echo of referee Watson ' s whistle had died away, Bob had shot a basket, and then it was Joliet all the way. The final score stood : 39-17. Well, as we had not yet played any dry teams, we played Dwight High School on January twenty-eighth, at Joliet. Ve won an easy game this time, the score being 72-9. This game was the easiest so far, but in spite of the fact that the Dwight team were hope- lessly beaten, they played a dirty game, and wrangled a great deal with the officials. August was injured in one of these scrimmages and was forced to retire in favor of Perry. In our return game with Armour on February fourth, we lost our first game. The game was played imder collegiate rules, which proved a great handicap to our team. As the Armour men had not forgotten the severe defeat administered to them at Joliet, they were out for revenge. Joliet played a fair and plucky game, but lost by one point. The score was 31-33. On February fifth, we journeyed to Hinsdale, where we played in a small, poorly lighted room, and used a ball that closely resembled a punching bag. Owing to the game the previous day, we did not play up to standard, and lost, — 19-12. Hinsdale now canceled their return game with Joliet, and, try as we might, we couldn ' t get them here. Our next game, on February eleventh, was with Elgin at Joliet, and we won by the close score of 28-25. The game was one of the fastest and most interesting of the season. Elgin sprang a surprise, as we hadn ' t had a very high opinion of them. We now thought it was about time to see if Wheaton was still on the map. We played the High School there on February eigh- teenth, in a small room ; but, owing to the classy guarding and basket shooting of our men, we were able to take the cake : 11-30. Fouling was continually taking place on our part, due to the smallness of the floor, so in this way Wheaton secured many of its points. On February twenty-fifth, accompanied by about thirty-one root- ers, we went to the long-looked-for preliminaries at DeKalb. Here we were matched against Hinsdale, and failed to get enough points to beat, losing by a score of 20-1 (i. Hinsdale played a very rougli Pa-re One Fortv-tliree THE JOLLIER game, but evidently the officials didn ' t, care. Thus, being the lighter team, we suffered. On March fourth the High School (?) team from Ottawa came up to get our goat, but they failed disastrously. The score-keeper kept running out of chalk, because he had to count so many for Joliet. The score was: Joliet 93, Ottawa 8. March fifth was the date set for the visit to Elgin, for a return game. Here we were given quite a scare, as the score at the end of the first half stood: Elgin 26, Joliet 10. In the second half, however, we outplayed them, win ning by 35-32. Schuessler took Leonard ' s place as guard, as the latter was unable to come. Coming home on the car, Steve favored us with several vocal solos, which were duly appreciated by Schuessler. We closed the season on March nineteenth by winning the county championship from the Yosts by a score of 23-15. This was a very fast game. The whole team played in good form all season, and wishes to thank the student body for the support and spirit that was shown at all times. Every man on the team, indeed, earned his sweater-vest, and will long remember the year in which he won it. As all the team graduates, it leaves an inexperienced team for next year, and prospects are not of the brightest. We sincerely hope, however, that the team next year will develop, and produce a bunch just as good as was this year ' s. When the season opens, go out with determination and spring a few surprises. There is plenty of material in the school, but it must be brought out, and to do this, interest must be shown. In closing a most successful season, after having played for the last time under the gold and blue, we leave this record with you. Ferd Fischer, (Capt.), Left Guard. Phil Leonard, Right Guard.

One Forty-four I h CO So l-H o CO THE JOLLIER History of Girls ' Basket-Ball Team, 1910 UR first experience as a real team was amusing and happened in our Freshmen year after we had had several practices. One morning we were vastly sur- prised to see, charging down upon us in a headlong, breathless fashion, five girls. Pausing in their mad flight, we recog- nized them as the Soph, basket ball team. A short, lighthaired girl was in the lead, frantically waving a piece of white paper which she breathlessly handed our Captain. It was a challenge! Never before had we even heard of one of those delightful things, let alone seeing one. The fateful day arrived and excitement ran high ! We played a very creditable game for freshmen, and, as we are a very polite bunch, we acquitted ourselves in the proper fashion by losing grace- fully to our elders, the Sophs. Following the dictates of precedent we performed this same stunt in the Championship game. But the next year the styles changed for us, and as Sophomores, we showed the Freshmen their proper place in a number of games. In the Championship we played the Seniors but were so awed by the idea of being near them that we lost the game. When our Junior year rolled around, we were practically a new team, but after some practice we learned to work in unison. Soon came the finals of the year. In the championship we played here such a fast and credital)le game that we were told it was one of the best girl ' s games ever seen in the High School. First they scored. Then we did. Finally we were ahead, then — slowly their score crept up even with ours. They passed us. Time was called and we had lost. At last we were Seniors, playing better than ever before. In the early part of the season we played seven or eight games ( ?) winning all. Then came the first blot in our care-free, merry year. Grace Bannon, our forward of whom we were very proud, was taken from us, and sadly we have missed her jolly optimism. Late in the season we played the Post-Grad girls. The game was fast and exciting but the greater strength of the P. G. girls brought their score a little above ours. It was the first game of the vear lost, dlen notices of the Junior-Senior championship game appeared, excitement ran high. Both teams were in excellent condition and many suppositions were afloat as to which team would win. But when after exceptional play- ing the little blackboard in G(V ' told us we had lost we faced the greatest disappointment of our bisket Inll career. Page One Forty-seven 1911 GIRLS ' BASKET-BALL TEAM HURD (Coach) MATHIAS SUFFERN BARRETT PERRY HARRIS LEWIS FLEXER THE JOLLIER 1911 Girls ' Basket-Ball Team w ELL — what it was said could never be accomplished, has been done. And that by Juniors too ! Sit up Seniors and take notice of your lower classmen, who at last, after many prev- ious defeats, have taken high honors. Are we proud, well — there is no need to ask that cjuestion as the school has witnessed our pride and joy over this victory. Of course it was due to the superiority of the Junior girls ' team that enabled Ub to win this victory from the fair Seniors. (As this statement is one prescribed by custom, allow us to use it.) We played a game that, in our own history, has not been ecjualled. It is the one crowning feat in our career, anl partially makes up for the marked defeat of the Junior boys ' team by our worthy upper class-men, who have starred through the whole season. If the truth must be known, the game that brought us this championship of the school on March 24, 1910, was the one most fe.ired of the season. Our oppon- ponents had played such excellent games of basket-ball during the year, and won such a large number of them, that the chance for our team looked dim, but — well you remember the result, a score of 8 to 4, a score which gave the school championship to the Junior girls. Our team consists of Edna Mathias, Captain and Manager, E. Suf- fern, Margaret Perry, guards; Mabel Barrett, center; and Mattie Lewis ; Carissa Harris and Edna Flexer, forwards. At the end of the season we retired in comfort, feeling well repaid for our hard work, and with high hopes we await the opening of the ;season next year. Page One Forty-nine CI I h h o oi O THE JOLLIER A Junior Boys ' Basket-Ball Team RE we clown-hearted? No! Even the Seniors achnit that we are game loosers. Although the Junior boys failed to hold se- cond place in the championship games of the school, we do not feel as down-hearted as might be expected because we had bad luck in securing good material for a basket ball team. Only one of the men who had played in our first and second years appeared at the beginning of our Junior year; and, even after forming a team, we re- peatedly found it necessary to draft new men to fill vacancies. Our prospects at the beginning of the season seemed very bright. We defeated Plainfield H. S., Lockport H. S., the Freshmen, the Sophmores, and even the second Senior team. But this was too good to last, and just as we were gaining confidence in ourselves, our two forwards left us, — one of his own free will, the other because he had points enough to become a Senior and therefore could not play with us any longer. This left us in the middle of the season with two entirely new men to break in. Our final line up was as follows : forwards — Bente, Unmack and Stevens ; guards — Bohn, Lollesgard end Corcoran ; center — Brown. This team did its best to uphold the honor of 1911 in the final games, and although they lost, you must not forget that the glory lies in the struggle. It is better to have tried and lost, than never to liave tried at all. Qb Page One Fifty-one SOPHOMORE GIRLS ' BASKET-BALL TEAM MURRAY LEONARD HUEN HAEFELE WARREN THE JOLLIER 1912 Girls ' Basket-Ball Team • T is left to us, the Sophomores girls, to tell the tale of our career JIJ as basket-ball players in the high school. Our story is short and filled with many aches and pains : but, as little can be said for fear of departing from the straight and narrow way that has been outlined by those in charge, let us briefly pass over these unpleasant thoughts and take up the brighter side of our career. As Freshmen we did nothing that featured in the athletic life (that is in. girls ' basket-ball). Our team was piloted by Mattie Lewis, star forward in this year as well as captain of the team. Accompanying her as a forward was Edna Flexer. while Gladys Norris was our center. Our guards were Lena Warren and Cornelia Heun. After our brief experiences in the Freshman year, we at last arrived at the exalted stage of Sophomores. Lr this year a new record was set by our girls ' basket-ball team. Tlie first game we played we won from the Junior girls by a score of 9 to 4. Following this game, we were again challenged by the Junior girls to play them at a future date. We accepted the challenge, but the game was never played. The second contest of the season was with our elders, the Seniors, who on this occasion, as well as in the championship series, won victories from us. These defeats, however, did not lessen our con- fidence, and, in the few remaining games, we played as we had never played before, winning by large scores. The line up of the team in this season was : Lena Warren, captain and guard; with Faith Haefele, Alice Murray and Helen Leonard, forwards; and Cornelia Huen, center. Page One Fifty-three I? o h ■ tq « O o as o en THE JOLLIER Sophomore Boys Basket-Ball Team NINE Rahs, and a Tiger — for the victorious sophomores! We entered basket ball this season with grim determination, our first move being to organize a strong team. Andy Witwer was elected captain, and Gesler, manager. From the candidates for the team, the following men were chosen : for- wards, Linter and Duncan ; guards, Hamilton, Gray and Gesler ; center, Witwer. Our first game was with the Seniors, and, although we were defeated, we made the game interesting. In our next two games we Vvcre defeated by the Juniors ; but these three defeats at the beginning of the season only served t( make us more determined. We braced up and defeated the Juniors in the next two games by scores of 26 to 16 and 24 to 11. In the championship series, as was to be expected, we lost to the Seniors, (who make very fine girls) the score being 21 to 32. This was a very exciting game, and at one time the score was 7 to 1 in our favor. ' But our gallant nature prevented our winning from the lassies, who were so winsome that we took our defeat very grace- fully. We next played the Juniors to determine who should have second place and to decide the winners of a five game series. We won, the score being 19 to 12. Summing it all up, we think that we have had a very successful year in basket-ball. It is true that we were defeated in more games than we won, but this is due to the fact that we were game to try out against teams much stronger than ours. Page One Fifty-five FRESHMEM GIRLS ' BASKET-BALL TEAM HYDE POMEROY SCULLY POEHNER FLEISCHER HURD (Coach) WERNER THE JOLLIER 1913 Girls ' Basket-Ball Team ®HE 1913 girls ' basket-ball team was organized early in the fall of 1909. Twenty-four candidates from the freshman class were tried out in room 66, and from that number the follow- ing team was selected: Hazel Poehner, Capt. and L. G. ; Jane Hyde and Irene Fleischer, R. G S. ; Myrtle Pomery, L. F. ; Frieda Werner, R. F. ; Ruth Scully, C. With child-like innocence we accepted a challenge from the Senior girls early in the year. The score, 22 to 5, in favor of the Seniors, suggests that we know better now. A little later, the score of 7 to 8 in our favor in a contest with the Juniors, served as a balm for ovu wounded feelings. But, he who laughs longest laughs last : in the championship games, the Juniors picked eight plums to our three. The Freshman girls ' team has played its little part upon the stage of high school experience, and as our organization has disbanded for the season, Peace to its Memory. F. Werner.

Of course we ' re only beg-inning ; Ereshmen al- 1|| ways are beginners ; but our itart has been so brilliant that we have high hopes for the future. When the basket-ball season opened, we beg ' an our practice in earnest. We finally chose for our team : center, Paul Denneny ; guards, T. Sprague, B. Higgins ; forwards, H. Downey, John Goodspeed ; sub., A. Lewis. Now we were ready to battle. And battle we did. It is a com- mon fault among beginners to choose an easy mark to play first; not so with us, however. Our first victim was the Steel Works ' Team. Although Sprague was on the sick list, yet by hard playing we were able to hold them down to nineteen points, while we scored eighteen points. How ' s that for a starter? Next in line came the Ko-Ko ' s. Just to show them that we could play, we beat them by a score of 16 to 15. W e were not over elated about this game, however, as some players would have been ; it simply prepared us for the next battle. Now came a streak of bad luck. Every team has a certain amount of that stuff, but we think we had more than our share. The Juniors first trimmed us in a very interesting game. Then Eishers Colts paced off a score of 28 to 9 in their favor. Then came those Ko-Ko ' s again, with a score of 37 to 24 in their favor. We were not down hearted. You can ' t down a good team. Now we fought the Juniors again. Here we played :, good game, the first of the season, as critics say : at the end of the first half the score was 5 to 3 in our favor. We didn ' t laugh either, we always wait for the out- come. The final score was 18 to 10 in favor of the Juniors. You can see we were wise enough not to laugh first or last. Now the Ko-Ko ' s came again. Here ' s where we showed our superiority as players, winning the game by a score of 11 to 8. This made us the winner of two games out of three. Thus ended our first and eventful vear in Ijasket-ball. Page One Fifty-nine POST GRADS ' BASKET BALL TEAM SACKETT MASON WILCOX KELLY COWING THE JOLLIER Post Graduate History in Basket-Ball m E may as well begin the proud history of our basket-ball valor with the tales of our deeds in former high school days. From the time when we were known as Freshmen to the present day we have been called one of the fastest as well as the strongest girls ' team that ever entered the school. We do not say this in a spirit of brag as our w ' orthy opponents may call it, but the old quotation says, He that blowcth not his own horn, for him no horn shall be blown. So once again we rhout forth the praise of the ' 09 girls. There was a day when we too were champions of the school, when we did deeds of valor which called forth the praise of all classes. But alas ! those days have passed and we are only known to the coming classes as has been champions. While we would resent this re- mark if we could, yet we realize that it is only too true that our high school days as star athletes have passed, and we must give way to the other classes and let them receive their share of praise. Before we close of our high school history forever, however, we wish to add a fresh laurel to our crown. Let us relate to you the history of the game that was our final for this year. Of course it was with the Senior girls, a very formidable adversary. Both teams had worked for weeks in their practice to be in line for this game, and when it was announced that two of the Senior girls were sick and unable to play, the game looked doubtful. However, the Senior team met the occasion by placing in the field two substitutes (Marge Caton and Ida May Brown) , both of whom played a splendid game. It was ve-y exciting. The P. G. girls appearing in white suits while the ' 10 girls wore the dark blue costume. The game was just as close as was expected, and the outcome was uncertain until the end of the second third. After this the P. G. ' s took the lead, and because of their fcjrmer experience and excellent playing finally proved the victors witVi a score of 12 to 5. We won, and mighty glad we were. However, we extenrl our praises to the Senior girls, whose playing was not -j whit Ixhind ours, and we sincerely hope that they will have better luck in the future. Page One Sixty-one THE JOLLIER Base-Ball History T INCE tlie High School base-ball team has been disbanded, it Q has been the custom to hold class championship games. Last year the 1912 ' s defeated the 1911 ' s, and on Field Day the 1910 ' s defeated the 1912 ' s by a score of 5 to 1. The 1909 ' s were challenged but would not accept, so the championship rested with the class of 1910. The team was as follows: Catcher, John Brown; Pitcher, Frank Zipf; Short Stop, Frank Fitzgerald, Mgr. ; Left Field, George With ; 1st Base, Phil Leonard ; 2nd Base, Harry Stans- bury; 3rd Base, Robt. Perry; Right Field, Ray Puffer; Center Field, Henry Anderson. One Sixty-two THE JOLLIER The Central Gymnasium SHE new Central Gymnasium was completed in Nov., 1908. Its membership consists mostly of High School ])upils, and, as the school lacks a good gymnasium, it meets the demands of the students who are interested in physical training. It is very complete both in arrangement and ecjuipment, although it is not exceptionally large. It has a basket-ball floor equal to an} ' other floor in this part of the country, a well furnished lounging room, two very complete locker and dressing rooms, a balcony for spec- tators with a seating capacit) of 400, and two fine clay tennis courts situated in the rear of the building. During the last basket-bail season the school team held all its home games with the outside schools here, where no game has been lost. Page One Sixty-three The Fellow Who Just Did His Best! There ' s quite a commotion over the notion That each man should be At the Top . But I oft have a feeling over me stealing That this sort of nonsense should stop. For to my way of thinking, (I say without shrinking). There ' s a truer and far nobler test; Hats off to the man, — gain say it who can — To the fellow that ' s just done his best; You crowd and you hustle your man in the field To the highest possible pitch; He works with a throb and a possible sob To carve ever higher his niche. But ill may come, and justice is blind ; And not all by Fortune caressed; And there ' s often high honor due, you will find, To the fellow who ' s just done his best. In the hurry of life, there ' s a tendency rife To worship the hero too much — The man who can march with the drum and the file And the top of the mountain can touch — But remember, not all can be head cf the list. And its neither a dream nor jest. Its likely that he who the prize barely missed Is some fellow - A-ho just did his best. For you can ' t have an army of captains, you know, There ' s always the rank and the file. And the soldier that puts in the last tellin. - blew Has likely marched many a mile. It may be he ' s only following along At some gorgeous leader ' s behest; But we must let him share in the Victory song — This fellow who ' s done his best! He may not come in with the bluster and blare Of cannons and trumpets and that. But he ' s probably had harder trials to bear Than the man with the plume in his hat. He may have worked on in the glare of the sun With little to cheer or to rest; So, whether he ' s lost or whether he ' s won, He ' s all right, for he ' s just done his best! We give our applause to the man at the head. Though a braver one back of him dies; I tell you, my brothers, there ' s lots to be said For the man who comes near to the prize! But whichever carries the flag to the fore. It still must be surely confessed. He merits his credit mark not a wit m.ore Than the fellow who just did his best! For the world is a scramble for riches and fame, All covet the loftiest place; The brain is aglow and the heart is aflame The most brilliant rainbow to chase. But it ' s true, as it ' s true that the fowl of the air Flies loyally home to its nest, That history riches of honors will bare To the fellow that ' s just done his best! L ' ENVOI. I offer you this as an ultimate word From the heart as well as the head — When your day of accounting shall finally come And your pulses are cold in your breast, May this be the greeting to welcome you Home, Here ' s a fellow who just did his best ! — George Hatch. I THE JOLLIER ' ' The AdmiraV N December 23, 1909, was given the fifbC play by the class of 1910. The Admiral proved himself a truly admirable ad- miral, netting the class over $330, which is by far the largest sum ever cleared in a single performance at the school. As for his dramatic success — well, — ask the audience. Though this was the first appearance of 1910 on any stage, no lack of ability was shown. All the parts were cleverly taken. The Admiral himself of course made the most noise. From his blustering en- trance in search of his daughter in the first act, to his complete sub- jection by his wife in the last, he was a joy forever. An austere sailor all bows abroad and stern at home. Mrs. Rankling, the wife, was one of the hits of the evening. Her fussy nervousness and final self-assertion were splendidly clone. Dinah, thier daughter, was as sweet and appealing a lassie as ever you saw. Her secret marriage at the mature age of fifteen, and the fiery jealousy of her youthful husband were most engaging. No wonder papa and mamma forgave them at last, — the audience had done so long before. Then there were the Queckett ' s — a most interesting couple. The Hon. Vere Queckett, a decayed aristocrat, who married a school mistress to get his debts paid, and who supported his position with plaintive dignity and lisp, was as good a piece of acting as Joliet ever saw. Miss Dyott, privately Mrs. Queckett, had a commanding- part to play and did it with great effect. One wonders how much performing poor dear Vere had to comfort him withal. Some thought the school girl the most attractive part of the cast. Peggy, the governess, the head mischief maker, was immense. If Lieutenant Mallory married her afterwards, as he seemed to intend (o do, he needed all his inches to hold his own. Gwendolen, with her maternal care of little Mr. Saunders, and Ermantrude, for whom no young man was provided, and Dina made as pretty a bunch as could be wished for. As the young men n ' ere quite handsome enough for them (and that is saying c ' good deal), the aesthetic side of the evening was well provided for. The German professor, by the way, was splendid. His gutteral profanity was quite life like. Page One Sixty-eight THE JOLLIER Tyler, the boy, and Jane, the maid, were very satisfactory. That Tyler is a show in himself, anyway. The two fire laddies filled ont the scene most realistically. One girl remarked that she had not known firemen were so good looking. The plot of the play is a bit complicated to tell here. Besides, everyone was there, so what ' s the use? Of the scenes, perhaps the bancjuet was the most effective. The Admiral ' s toast, with his pa- thetic uncertainty as to whether he was the husband of a heavily plated cruiser or the commander of a daughter, brought down the house. A great banquet it was, for no one dared taste anything, and poor Vere ' s unexpected neices were somewhat on his nerves. But some of us liked the Nightmare act best, where they all went to sleep leaving Mr. Saunders to keep off the burglars, and the Admiral was carried out and locked up, and Mrs. Rankling ' s head was broken and her resolutions fo rmed. Such richness ! All in all, 1910 has reason to be proud of the play, and the actors to be proud of themselves. It was a good piece of work and a credit to all concerned, especially Miss Baldwin.

Everybody liked Peter Newell, and it was a great success, (that is, Peter Newell was). The girls looked charming in the quaint costumes, and the boys were too dear for words.

Page One Seventy THE JOLLIER The Mistletoe Bough INETEEN-TEN was on a time allowance this spring. Some- V thing- had to be done in a hurry, and the thing to do was a pantomime — a musical pantomime — a beautiful, tragic, spooky, musical pantomime; that is, The Mistletoe Bough. Everyone knows, or ought to know, the tragic story of Ginevre ; the beautiful bride who hid in sport on her wedding night and was not found until fifty years had come and gone. Then an old chest in the attic disclosed her poor dust and ashes, where its wicked spring lock had caught and held her that fatal night. That is the story, and it is not a comedy, thereby differing from most school entertainments. But well acted in pantomime it had its interest, and the dances and colored lights embellished it with variety and beauty. Altogether it was a new departure for the high school and a great success. The verses of the sweet old ballad were splendidly sung by Ralph Longley, and appropriate music was a feature of the ev- ening.

Page ■One Seventy-two THE JOLLIER The Senior Stag Party For it ' s always fair weather, When good fellows get together. With a stein on the table. And a good song ringing clear. TT HE refrain of this old standby will recall to the remembrance 1|L of almost every Senior fellow one of the most enjoyable winter evenings that the Senior bunch ' has spent in many a fortnight, the evening of the stag party at the home of Bob Perry. And it was some time from early to late, wa.s it not, fellows? The grand ball was set a ' rolling on a Friday evening of Febru- ary when to the home of Perry, our star athlete, we rode, by car, us- ing our natural extremities in propelling ourselves over a few miles to the house after disembarking. After many adventures and thrilling experiences of seeing some star skating done by one member of the launch, wdio saw stars on the ice of that slippery night, we arrived ; and, as we are still alive to tell the tale, I will proceed to an interior view. In the first place an exciting game of football took place. Leonard, Morrisey and Fischer were the stars ; all three decidedly got the worst of the l)argain as will be seen on glancing at the picture. Among the various forms of entertainment of the evening were the linament- cure tournament, (the meaning of which can be better interpreted by those who sought the remedy. Ask Gleisner). Refreshments, which were amply sampled, were served as midnight drew near. Following the stopping of the hungry pangs , the next thing that figures on all such occasions was resorted to : Big Nordstead took a flash light of the whole bunch . And such a flash light it did prove to be! — well, if my words are not weighty enough, judge for yourself from the picture. Now let me see where we all w ' ere at about this time. Oh, yes, all but a few who decided to play checkers ' retired to the ante room about this time where the floor furnished a comfortable back- ground for the wearied heads, (anl where the linament held full sway). Here part of the m(M ning was spent in singing. At about 2 A. AL, the party disbanded after many hearty hand- shakes, and, arm in arm, neath the light of the silvery moon, slowly strolled homeward, where, with but few startling incidents, we arrived as the roosters were crowing. Page One Seventy-six THE JOLLIER 1910 Hen Party HERE is a piano in the Seniur room — as nearly ev eryone 1|L knows — in a very convenient comer, or so one little Senior boy fonncl it when he wante l to hi.ie. The whole story is this : The Senior boys had had a very successful party, and, not to be outdone by them, we girls wished to have one too. So, on February 23, 1910, a Senior meeting was held in Room 30, which was intended for girls only; but alas! that naughty Senior boy dis- covered this excellent hiding place and immediately made use of it thus, though we thought our secret safe, it was really Ijeing spread among the Senior boys. At this meeting, it was announced that a juvenile or baby party would be given on March 5th b} Helen Egbert and Lola Hart at the home of the latter, and that none but children were to be ad- mitted. Great was the excitement, and .for the next two weeks every Senior girl was asking her neighbor, Goin ' to the Hen Party? AAHiat are you going to wear? but these ' juestions were not asked within earshot of the boys, oh no! In order to make the party more inter- esting and babified. we were asked to bring the tirst picture we had ever had taken and these were arranged by our hostesses for guessing. At last the long-awaited day cam;: ' , and between half-past seven and eight o ' clock nearly ex-ery Senior girl boarded a Lockport car for the Hart residence. At intervals along Chicago and Ottawa Streets Senior boys were seen, all dressed in their best, and we sus- pected something . By half past eight, all were assembled, and a bright crowd we were. There were Buster Browns, real babies, little girls and older girls, some with l)obbe :l hair, some with curls — both long and short — and some with braids down their backs. Many had Teddy Bears; some had dolls; and, indeed, one girl had a large brown dog, which at first frightened some of us until we found that it was muzzled. After all had been examined and duly admired, a game was started by our two liostesses. Helen ancl Lola, and all was progress- ing nicely. Idie upstairs windows, as well as the downstairs ones, were securely fastened, and we were :;afe from all intrusion, or so we thought. AA were busily engaged in our game, when suddenly — what was that? (it sounded like some big tln ' ng bumping down the stairs) and then a cry of trium])h came from the bovs — for surelv it was the boys — but one of dismay from the girls. Then everything was helter- skelter; we ruslied blindly, excitedly, wildly, — we did not know rage One Seventy-seven THE JOLLIER where — anywhere to get away from those dreadful boys . Then a sudden thought struck one of us and she sat down. Immediately the rest of us sat down too, on the floor, on chairs and tables. Then the mystery of how they found out and how they got in had to be explained, and the naughty boy ' s treachery was dis- covered. As it had become very warm upstairs, a window had been opened, and thereby hangs the tale. The boys, watching in the yard below for just such a chance, had eagerly ' secured a ladder and had entered through this Avindow. When first the camera appeared, no one wanted her picture taken, (oh, not for the world), but finally we were persuaded to sit still for a few moments, although the flash startled a few of us. At last we decided to be shy no longer, and then we had a good time in earnest. The boys sang many popular songs, in some of which we joined. Then the boys borrowed our hats, bonnets, dolls, and Teddy Bears and had their pictures taken. Some really made very cute girls. - Refreshments were served and enjoyed very much, especially the stick candy, which all children like. Soon after, preparations were made for our return home; and. after assuring our hostesses of the lovely, dandy, or grand time we had had and forgetting that we were children, we left to go home all alone in the dark . — Florence M.

Page One liighty-two THE JOLLIER The Candy Sale (S REAT was our consternation and sorrow when Mr. Brown announced that he thought we ought not to give a reception to last year ' s Senior class. We racked our brains, and to our minds came the bright and original idea of giving a candy sale. We built booths both on the middle landing and in the basement. Early in the morning, the girls brought quantities of the most de- licious and toothsome candy and popcorn balls. The boys supplied ice cream and cones. Everything went like wild fire, teachers and pupils alike anxious to get something really good. The ' 09 girls had given a dinner and did well, but we did better than they, for we cleared forty-three dollars. Thus the success of our reception was assured , and, according to our guests, never was a better reception I?Jj,w.,t-v, -. Page One Eighty-three THE JOLLIER ' March of J.

Dear Intelligenf One. — We should like to know what it is that makes a boy so con- ceited that he thinks basket ball feeds are given because the girls are unable to endure life any longer without the pleasure of his company.

Dear Inquisitive One. — Probably the cause of Ravmond ' s serious breach of etiquette, my dear young lady, is that the necessary implements of glid- ing were Sccretly extracted from his wardrobe on the occasion Page One Ninety-three THE JOLLIER of this extended visit. Owing to the fact that implements of similar construction, two wings, have not been invented and also to the fact that those who extracted the shiny glitters ' were unable to forward them to their destination in time for his use, he was forced to appear thus rustic.
