The entire action of the play takes place in the Carr residence, Providence, Rhode Is- land. The incidents occur during the actual play- ing time of the piece- All three acts take place in the living room in the Carr residence. The story involves the exciting wedding day of Mrs. Carr ' s eldest daughter, who has received many beautiful wedding gifts, which in the early part of the wedding day begin to disappear mysteriously. No one is definitely accused of the theft of these various articles, but James Cluney is suspected by Dr. Wil- loughby and Mr. Carr by Mrs. Carr. Both James Cluney and Mr. Carr suspect them- selves of being kleptomaniacs. While all this is going on Angelina is kept busy watching the maid. A detective is summoned to watch Cluney. The detective arrives but is met by the thief who takes the name of Cluney for the mo- ment to mislead the detective, who is told by thief to be back in one hour. The thief and Nell, the maid, work together. Every- thing disappears. The house is in a grea; state of confusion, when Mr. Jamiso.i enters asking for bonds of Mr. Carr. The bonds are gone. The safe robbed. The en- tire house is panickey The police are summoned unknown to Mrs. Carr who doe: not want the police notified because of the notoriety. Police arrive and the searching begins. Everyone is searched. Women are frantic. The thief tries to make a getaway but in vain. He gets a gun and gives the command Hands Up. Everyone is bewildered. The thief escapes, everyone madly rushes out after him yelling Stop Thief — Stop Thief. When the thief and Nell have successfully rrisled the people they return to the house and are making their getaway when the MISS LENA M. DICKINSON. family returns, the thief escapes, but Nell is caught and placed under arrest. She begs for one more chance, because it is their wed- ding day. The thief returns and confesses he is the guilty one and no one else. Cluney asks to proceed with his wedding. The thief and Nell are also to be married, and in this confusion Dr. Willoughby asks Joan to marry him, making three weddings to be performed at the end of the play. The minister tells them all to kneel and Mr. Carr absentmindedly starts to kneel and Mrs. Carr pulls him up as the minister says — Dearly beloved, we are gathered here — while the curtain slowly lowers- By Marie E.

Though newly torn from out its sheltered place, And planted here beside this stony wall, It visions naught but how in wondrous grace It shall with its rare beauty cover all. So buoyant youth sees not the snares that lie Within his path, but filled with noble dreams And brightest hopes, is sure success is nigh; In his mind ' s eye a glorious future gleams. His Alma Mater, though her eyes are dim With tears of parting, smiling, blesses him. Cecilia Carey. ttt: 39 Ivy Day Oration Fellow Classmates and Friends: We are assembled this morning, for the purpose of symbolizing, in terms of nature, the transplanting of the class of 1920, from the surroundings which have nurtured it for four happy years, to a new environ- ment. As we plant this ivy, in accordance with time honored custom, we introduce it to a new existence, separated from all that made up its past. It must now confront unaided, all obstacles seeking to dispute its way- Foreign elements will attempt to sap the life of the untried ad- venturer in new soil. Hostile winds will en- deavor to fasten clutching hands on the frail life, and tear it from the very roots, upon which it is dependent for nourishment. In- sects will attack its bark in multitudinous numbers, and stealthily work with no other object than that of reaching its heart. Even the heavens will mercilessly send down their storms upon the little plant, seeming to challenge it to withstand the deluge. Will the ivy let itself be dominated and helplessly crushed by its foes? Will it, for a moment, consider complying with the cruel demands of the elements to surrender its life, for which it has so valiantly struggled? No indeed! This little plant will gather its energy, endurance, and the latent powers, which it has been developing, but which have hitherto had no occasion to assert themselves, into one continuous struggle for its existence. Overcoming each obstacle which presents it- self, the ivy will struggle upward, spanning every crevice, clinging with its tiny tentacles to every projection, using them all as step- ping stones, until the pinnacle for which it has striven has been reached. To us, the members of the class of 1920 this ceremony has a personal significance. We are about to sever our connections with the environment of happy high school days, in which we have been growing into young manhood and young womanhood. It is true, that even here, we have had our struggles and disappointments and failures, but to the kindly co-operation, wise encouragement and noble inspiration of all the members of the faculty, we are indebted for the help in over- coming our difficulties, and for our pride and happiness in the present moment. That pride and happiness is mingled with sadness and re- gret, as we pass out from the portals of the old J. T. H. S. to enter a new field of en- deavor. As we go, let us not forget the lessons we have learned outside the covers of our text books, lessons of which the glossy-leafed ivy is a fitting emblem. Lessons in persistency, ambition, unselfishness, sincerity of purpose, and the attainment of high ideals. And as the ivy throws its mantle of green over this forbidding old brick wall, softening its ugliness into grace and beauty, may these qualities of mind and heart, the greatest pos- sessions we have gained in our four years together, adorn and beautify our lives- Wilbur Witwer. 40 Address of Welcome By John Francis. Friends and Fellow schoolmates: We have the honor, this afternoon, of wel- coming you to an important part of the clos- ing exercises of the class of 1920 of the Joliet Township High School. Poor old Joliet High; how lonesome it will feel when the present senior class migrates. For four years we have been the pride and joy of its bosom. Before we leave its halls we cannot resist the temptation of bringing to your attention, in a modest way, some details of our remark- able career. We shall show you what we, under the leadership of Dr. Smith and his competent faculty, have been able to achieve. Some evidence of our proficiency in the line of poetry and oratory was heard this morn- ing at the planting, of the ivy. We shall show you that we excel also in music, when we sing for y ou the greatest class song that was ever written — the composition of two of our members. The Juniors too will be heard from — The Class of 1921 — who, we are sorry to say, have ever been a source of embarrassment to Joliet Township High School, the wormwood and the gall of her existence. Poor Juniors, truly they are a hopeless lot. They have among them no bright and shining lights, and if, a year from this time, a sufficient number of them shall have survived the flunking slips, so familiar to most of them, to constitute a class, we shall at least have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done our duty in showing them how they should have done and their dismal falure will not have been due to the lack of a brilliant example. Introduction to Class Prophecy. We propose to give you a glimpse of our past; the present speaks for itself. Henrietta Schoop and Katharine Woodruff have re- cently held frequent communications with the spirit world and they will now reveal to us what the future holds in store for each mem- ber of our class. Introductory to Class History. You have heard what the members of our class are going to do. Now as a class should be judged by that which it has done as well as that which it is going to do, Catherine Hastings and Agnes Carney will tell you the things our class has done. Introduction or Floyd Smith. As I stated before, our class excels in com- posing music, but that is not all; for we also excel in playing it, as Floyd Smith will prove to you at this time. Introduction of Address to the Juniors. You have heard of our remarkable record as a class. Now if there is one virtue above all others that we, as a class, possess, it is that of unselfishness- We are always willing and glad to give to others the benefit of our superior knowledge and experience, in the form of good, sound advice and we can think of no one to whom it ought to be more ac- ceptable than to the Juniors. Harold McDonald will now deliver this much needed advice. Introduction of Reply to the Seniors. The Junior Class will now have an op- portunity to show whether or not they know a good thing when they hear it, by expression of grateful appreciation for the most excel- lent advice. Whether they possess even the one virtue of gratefulness remains to be seen. Miss lone Leach, a member of that class, will now address us. 41 Class Prophecy of 1920 By Henrietta Schoop, Katharine Woodruff THE CLASS PROPHECY OF 1920. Scene:— The Old Maids Home. Time: 1940. Characters: 1st old maid — Henrietta Schoop. 2nd old maid — Katharine Woodruff. 1st old maid: Do you know how Harold Kircher is getting along? 2nd old maid: I think he is getting better. But dear sister Lucille Boyd did just right in cracking his skull with a rolling pin. Why he was stealing apples from our orchard and he intended to sell them from his little fruit- stand in the city. 1st: Bill Heise ' s sanitarium has a good reputation; so I guess he ' ll get along all right, especially with Gladys Smith as nurse. Inez Holt is a nurse there too, and Dorothy Dibell is head nurse. 2nd: Say! did you hear about Dorothy giving Joe Adler poison for soothing syrup? 1st: Oh he ' ll recover if he ' s under Doctor Calkin ' s care. But, Sister dear, I have a copy of the Elwood Town Talk. It ' s very interesting. I never thought Eddie and Bessie Blatt would make such good editors. Veronica Kennedy writes that Fred Blatt has just been re-elected mayor of Elwood. It certainly is getting to be a fine city. 2nd: (taking paper) Let ' s see what Jimmie Bell has to say in his Advice to the Love-lorn. My dear Mr. Bell: What shall I do? I was late to my wedding and when I arrived I found the bride had married the best man. Yours truly, Louis Lagger. 1st: I suppose it was that mysterious Gert- rude. 2nd: Mercy on us! Dolly Dimple Baby Food Manufactured by FOUSER AND FRANCIS Makes dimpled cheeks in any baby! (Pause). Vincent Hossack, leader of the anti- cigarette campaign, will conduct a drive here next week. Who ever would have thought it? 1st: I forgot to tell you! Sister Agnes Carney got a wireless from Ralph Foran, radio-operator on Mars, that Persis Talcott has arrived safely to do her missionary work. She went up in Maynard Renner ' s new in- vention, The High Flier. Alvin Timm, Robert Kiep, and Charles Barber are sur- veying up there. 2nd: Let ' s find out what some of the rest of our class-mates are doing. Where ' s the Ouija? Let ' s ask about Thelma Vaughan. Is Thelma married? Yes! 1st: Whom did she marry? Both: Wilbur Witwer. Of course! 2nd: Where are they living? The Black- stone. 1st: And the Blackstone is now run by lone White. Do you know anything about Terrace Garden? 2nd: Oh, yes! Henry Unmack runs it and he told me that two members of our class • are billed to dance there next week. Who could they be? 1st: Who are they, Ouija? Ned Tingley and Eunice Owen — at Terrace Garden! Under whom did they study? John Martin. 2nd: Did you send the messenger boy, Raymond Kramer, to get the tickets to see Mildred Carson in Peter Pan. They say she is better than Maude Adams ever was. 1st: Yes, I did. Raymond said that. Everett Hauck was at the ticket window. Did you like the Orpheum last night? 42 2nd: Yes. Of course, I don ' t approve of it; but I had to go when some of our class- mates were there. To think Agnes MacAn- drew, Esther Schultz and Addie Lichtenwalter would be on the stage. 1st: (Goes to the door) Oh, Kate, there go some aeroplanes in transit. I suppose those are the ones that Gertrude Kreimeier, Leota Murdie, Margaret Biggar, Loretta Heitschold and Frances Tebeau are driving from New York to San Francisco, (exit). 2nd: (Reading paper) Francis Kiep wins championship in prize fight. Mr. Kiep by his victory over Axel Flint in the third round becomes lightweight champion of the world. White Sox beat New York in World Series. May Berkes and Edith Anderson are star pitchers. Mildred Copley wins medal for rifle shoot- ing. 1st: (Rushing in) The High School is blown up ! ! ! Leslie Keeler and Harold McDonald were working in the chemistry laboratory this morn — with nitro-glycerine — You know the rest! John Welch, the fire- chief from Rockdale, put out the fire. No one was hurt. 2nd: There are a lot of ' 20s teaching there now. Anna Peterson, who has taken Miss Ruggles place, La Deane Clark, Alice McCarthy and Nicholas Nahas, successor to Mr. McAllister. 1st: And Nellie Ibach, Ethel Medin, Alba Nelson, Ragnhild Holmquist, who now has Miss Boyd ' s position, and Mildred Lindgren. Well, I ' m glad no one was hurt. 2nd: The class of 1920 had some great people in it. For example: the president of our great country, Floyd Schoultz, and his cabinet are Stanley Simpson, Secretary of treasury, and Miram Balchowsky, Secretary of the Interior. Katherine Kane and Janet Shutts are in the senate. They say Janet is the idol of the senate and she receives candy and flowers from all the senators. Katherine Ducker is Judge of the Supreme Court. 1st: Yes, and James McGann is President of the Irish Republic, Harold McFadden is Vice President and John Hennessy is Com- mander-in-chief of the army. 2nd: But a lot didn ' t turn out very well. Yesterday I was down town and on one street corner I saw Franklin Schleeter grinding an organ, while collecting his money was his monkey which he calls Catherine; on the next corner was George Lloyd selling Magic Hair Restorer; and across the street was Forrest Hutchinson running a peanut stand. In an alley was Lester Gardner roasting chestnuts and down the street I saw Acktur Johnson selling hot tomales. 1st: Oh, by the way, did you hear about the tag day they had for the Johnson Home? Some of the ' 20s are inmates, David John- son, Alice Johnson, Edna Johnson, Evelyn Johnson, Floyd Johnson and Harold Johnson. 2nd: Yes, I was tagged by Lester Leigh- ton the great social reformer, in front of the Beauty Spot factory run by Dorothy Lennon. She has Ruth Kallman, lone Kewin, Hazel Lind and Helen Markgraf for sales- ladies. 1st: Well, I ' m glad I didn ' t go down town to get tagged. I went for a walk in the woods, and I saw Miles Rulien, poor thing, he ' s been wandering all these years looking for his half- soul. Did you see Herbert Schiek the Human Fly climb La Verne Randall ' s Corn Plaster factory yesterday? 2nd: Yes, I saw him climb a hundred stories; all the salespeople were out watching him, Alice MacCaulder, Hazel Olson, Marie Wilhelmi, Ralph Diedrich and Clark McFarlin were among them. 1st: The city certainly has more factories than it did when we were young. There ' s Catherine Hastings ' grind organ factory; and on every corner you can hear her salespeople grinding away. There are Leona Moran, Helen Norton, Bessie Allen, Eleanor Schoultz and Gladys Johnston. What is the world coming to! 2nd: That ' s bad enough, but when it comes to the ' 20s being in a circus! ! ! Land sakes! ! And Glenn Shutts owns it! But I ' m not surprised at Johnny Griffin. He was yelling Come everybody and see the world ' s famous FAT MAN — and who do you think it was? Wilbur Pettigrew!!! 43 1st: And then there was Roger McCoy calling our attention to Ursula Jones, the lion tamer, and Eleanor Hurley, the great bare back rider! I just had to laugh at Paul Ryan, one of the clowns, sprinkling with water the umbrella that Wesley Diedrich, another clown, was holding over himself. Eva Turner shocked me the most, an acrobat, how terrible! !! 2nd: The menagerie was a little better; but when I looked into the snake cage and saw Dorothy Dunne with a snake wrapped around her neck, I had to reach for my smelling salts! 1st: Yes, and I saw Floyd Smith selling balloons. When he blew them up he looked just like he used to when he played his cornet in the band. But did you see Lawrence Holmstorm watering the elephants? Some of our classmates have turned out badly; but dear Marie Young is doing a splendid work. 2nd: I have a great mind to bequeath our million dollars to her orphanage. Mary Louise Brennan is a credit to the class too. Her poetry is being read in a hundred forty- seven different languages all over the world. 1st: And Cecilia Carey has gone all over the country lecturing on Latin Subjects. Her favorite is Pius Aeneas John Kerwin is getting to be quite a ladies ' man. He speaks before the Woman ' s Club every week now. 2nd: By the way, Hen, where are we go- ing to have our Old Maids ' picnic next week? How about going out near William Mc- Gowan ' s farm? He ' d let us get water at his spring and he has some nice apple trees. 1st: No, not there; there are too many men there, and I ' m deathly afraid there might be some cows roaming around. Let ' s go out to Frances Gibler ' s farm. She runs it herself, so we wouldn ' t be bothered with any men. 2nd: I ' ll have to get some cold cream be- fore I go. Beatrice Ruland will probably be around selling some of Oscar Kallman ' s Bleaching Cream. 1st: It must be good because Jack King uses it in his beauty parlor, and so does Gladys Birdsall in hers. Did you hear that Louise Dirst and Grace Kohlhagen are run- ning a barber shop in Chicago on Van Buren Street? 2nd: Clarence Lewis is in Chicago too. He ' s one of the great speedway racers. Let ' s have some tea. I ' m hungry. Why what ' s this? Looks like an advertisement. (Hold- ing up stick of gum). Try this sample of Alma Korst ' s chewing gum 1st: Isn ' t this tea that Thomas Morrison sent from Japan excellent? 2nd: Yes, it is. Have you fed the cat yet? 1st: No, not yet. Don ' t you think this cat is the best we ' ve ever had? It came from Mary Stewart ' s pedigreed cat farm. 2nd: Mary had quite a bit of trouble with cat thieves; but she hasn ' t been bothered at all since they found Jeannette Wray was the culprit and locked her up- To think that Miss Dickinson taught her all that in the Senior Play, twenty years ago! 1st: It ' s queer George Keeley didn ' t turn out to be a thief too. You know they call him the Lord Chesterfield of Wilmington; and he ' s still a bachelor in spite of the at- tempt made by the girls every four years. 2nd: Clarence Chalstrom is now a great railroad magnate. Bob Antram — you know he ' s a great painter — painted one of Clar- ence ' s engines such a bright red that it blinded George Van Deusen, mayor of Rock- dale. He was taken to the noted oculist John Bannon and finally he recovered his sight. 1st: Speaking of red, Ruth Downing and Rena Cutchin are manufacturing Car- dinal Hair Goods. Our class has wandered all over the face of the earth. Winifred Smith and Marie Wagner are dress designers in Paris. Their models are: Bernice Chubb, Alice Rothwell, Ruth Hurst, Mildred Sprague, Ebba Nelson, and Gertrude Gillette. 2nd: There are a lot of our old classmates in New York. They are wealthy as most of them do business on Wall Street. Charles W ' allace, Edwin Weiss, Eleanor Watjus, Eu- gene Coughlin and Margaret Logan are brokers. 44 1st: There are some stenographers in Washington, working for the government, Florence Hills, Agnes Josephson, Julia Lark- ing, Edith Lauterbach and Loretta Wellnitz. 2nd: Our class is certainly scattered. Arlie Pearce is way out west running a ranch, and he ' s raising a great row because Rose Stettler is raising potato bugs on the next ranch, and they bother him. Why, we ' re represented even in California! Myrtle Len- ander is a movie actress in Hollywood. 1st: A few are still at home; but I don ' t like the business some of them are in. James Belay is running a poolroom, and Leonora Haley has the agency for lash browine. Hazel Kier is driving the Manhattan bus; and Martha Brown is keeping house near Elwood. 2nd: Oh, sister, but the worst thing that ever happened to our class is Wilbur Witwer! To think that Wilbur should ever become manager of the Follies! And Mary Wol- cott wrote one of the sketches- Norman Stiner is the star, and Helen Fraser is the leader of the Nightingale chorus. 1st: Catherine and Florence Fulgoni, Catherine Mollan, Ruth Campbell and Lillie Sandell are in the chorus. Willard Curtis leads the orchestra and Dorothy Reid is the pianiste. 2nd: I must get a shine; my shoes are a sight. Let ' s go to the shoe shine parlor run by Thorolf With and Leland Stephen. 1st: Do you like my new hat? I got it at Catherine Smith ' s and Louise Sullivan ' s hat shop. 2nd: Our classmates have wandered all over the world and even to other worlds; but they never can forget that dear old class of 1920. FINIS. 45 Class History of 1920 By Agnes Carney and Catherine Hastings. Time— 1950. Place — Joliet, Illinois. Oh, Catherine, come on out and play tennis. Yes, but what about my history? You know that I have a date tonight, and this is a most important lesson. Well, you read it to me while I knit. (Agnes goes over and sits down and begins to read.) The four years from 1916 to 1920 mark one of the greatest epochs in history. This includes the last few years of the personal reign of Dr. Brown and the beginning of Dr. Smith ' s reign. In September, 1916, a new group began their activities. At this time they were called Freshmen by the older citizens. On a Fri- day in October this famous group was duly installed with a mass meeting, and the choos- ing of a class council. This Grand Council was composed of such important personages as William Heise, Eunice Flint and Mary Dupee. A happening that attracted much attention in the upper classes was the Freshman pop- corn sale. The net earnings amounted to $31.00. The Freshman Program was the great outstanding event of 1916, but not overshadowing the ball given January 26. The Program as given was: Reading— The Family Plate Mildred Carson Dance — Autumn Leaves Lucille Boyd Song — In Autumn Time Margarette Ulrich Reading — Esther Schultz Song — Mavourneen Persis Talcott Reading — Wrong Receipt Charlotte Wenck Dance — Pizzicato Lucille Boyd, Verna Dyer, Winifred Smith The author is just trying to say that this bunch was IT isn ' t he?? But I suppose we will have to remember the date of the ball, and something about the program — or hunk. In 1917 it seemed as though a great mon- ster were going to destroy the world. All the forces of good united against him. In the great struggle this group under the name of Sophomore, was most active. They put a ban on all social doings and WORKED. They joined the ranks of soldiers and sailors and worked on farms. Their contemporaries will never forget those peanut and candy sales, the proceeds of which were used to support three French orphans. They also made scrap books for the wounded, worked with the Red Cross and sewed for the Bel- gian children. Mr. R. R. Smith, governor of territory 66, later changed to 329, greatly favored the art of thriftiness and was con- tinually selling thrift stamps. Then to preserve their health many took their exercise in the form of basketball and football. Those prominent were: Art Hyde, Jack King, Thorolf With, Val Broadwell, Bill Learnard and Wilbur Witwer. It must have been awful to have lived in those times, but I surely admire them. They seem something like our Puritan ancestors beautiful and righteous. At an election held in the middle of June this ever-progressive group was promoted to the district of 399 under the director, Miss Myrtle Johnston. They also received the name Juniors. The spirit of the times continued to pre- vail and they still supported French orphans with the money obtained from tag days. The war cloud finally burst from red fire and white smoke into a confusion of red and white crepe streamers. Thus did they ad- vance in their forward march to the Junior- Senior Reception. Never before had those insignificant Seniors of ' 19 realized the value in the ecstacy of a splendifiglorious recep- tion. A canopy of red and white was sus- pended across the gym, and caught in place by red roses. Palms and ferns completed the decorations. 46 Special entertainment consisted of selec- tions by the Hindle Quartette, and a clog dance by Colonel B. J. Tillman. The Juniors had not forgotten how to battle either, even though the war was almost over, so they battled on the gridiron. The fighters who enlisted were Broadwell, Foran, Gardner, King, Schiek, Garnsey, Unmack and Don Stephens. The J couldn ' t have existed if it hadn ' t been for Louis Lagger. I know it- Every single time we have studied about him it has been business — business — business. I think he must be made of business. One of the chief traits of the American people has been their restless activity. (Muzzey Chapt. XII). The group moved into the district of Lawlor, in the territory of 299, under the super dignified title of Seniors. At the election of 1919-1920 the governing officials were elected by popular vote. Miss Daley and Mr. Atkinson were chosen as advisors. James Bell President Edward Blatt Vice President Persis Talcott . . Secretary-Treasurer As every group must have money — this most excellent body immediately obtained $40 from the fair, November 1. The principal attraction was the hot dogs. The only accidents which marred the da y ' s success were the shower of mustard which bedecked Mr. Lagger from head to foot, and the serious wound Mr. Schleeter acquired from a stray butcher knife. What do we care about all that dope? I think history is all bluff anyway. Then came the great SENIOR party. For these people must be prepared to take their place among the worthy alumni of the insti- tution. For this event the gym. was trans- formed into a fairy bower of pink and white, carried out in Japanese effect. A ceiling of woven pink and white streamers intermingled with branches and pink blossoms was sus- pended across the gym- Extension lights were used in Japanese lanterns which gave a soft glow throughout the room. On February, 1920, after three days crowd- ed with hope and anxiety, the city went wild with joy. The Basketball Tournament had been won. Such mighty warriors as Axel Flint, O scar Kallman, Chink Lewis, Hyde, Schiek, Unmack and Gardner represented the group of ' 20. There were speeches, assem- blies, mass meetings and banquets. A staff composed of Edward Blatt, Frank- lin Schleeter, Stanley Simpson, Persis Talcott, Axel Flint, Louis Lagger and Paul Ryan were chosen to write the annals of this group. I suppose all those men might be com- pared with Clay, Webster, Seward, Adams, Jefferson and all those other nineteenth century men. But before this distinguished group should leave the foreground another Senior Party was held. This time the Senior colors were again used. The gym. was decorated by Thelma Vaughan and her committee, while the entertainment was produced by Cather- ine Hastings and committee. It was evidently one grand affair. I sup- pose we ' ll have to remember that too — or flunk! The Juniors then had the honor of enter- taining the ' 20 ' s. They most likely failed to realize what a privilege it was, but when they became Seniors they knew. They gave the Seniors a very nice RECEPTION neverthe- less and every one enjoyed it. At last I ' m at the last paragraph — Graduation Week — June 6-11 — saw the au revoir of the Seniors. The play given under Miss Dickinson ' s tireless instruction was simply great. Baccalaureate Sunday was the beginning of the end. Monday and Tuesday evenings Stop Thief was given. Ivy and Class Day were enjoyed by all (except the participants). Well— It ' s some HISTORY any way and other classes will have to dig down and work to outrun the Greatest Class of All! Come on! I ' ll beat you a set of tennis now- — 47 Address to the Juniors JUNIORS! Harken to my calling. Why? Oh! Why have you made it neces- sary for me to spend my precious time be- stowing words of advice and reprimand upon your childish minds? You ask, why I am able to do this? Then let me ask, who are leaders and boosters in the band, in the R. O. T. C, in the orchestra, in athletics and in all school activities? The Seniors are, of course, and so we want to show you how to make good. Juniors, to illustrate your position let me tell you this little story about a Junior. This Junior had ducked from school; as you in- fants will do, and was wasting the day roam- ing aimlessly about Reed ' s woods. Towards the middle of the afternoon he heard voices near by which sounded rather familiar. His first impulse was to flee, but in fleeing he saw he would be caught and humiliated both at school and at home. He glanced furtively about seeking a hid- ing place, when he suddenly noted that the log upon which he was sitting was hollow. With much difficulty he managed to crawl into it. He worked his way slowly and slowly up the log to a spot of light which pierced the inky darkness of the interior. He peeped out thru a small knot-hole and saw that the owners of the voices were Prof. Langworthy and a group of enthusiastic botany students. He gloated over his suc- cess at slipping away unnoticed and waited until they left. After the group had departed, Mr. Junior tried ever so hard to extract himself, but alas, alack, he was wedged firmly in and all his grunting and groaning were of no avail. Night fell; he was ravenously hungry; he cried out but his voice was scarcely audible in his wooden tomb. In the long hours of the night he realized he faced death by star- vation, and like anyone who is about to die, he thought of his past life. He thought of the mean tricks he had played on the Seniors and his teachers, of how he had mis-treated his kind and loving parents, — when with a sudden start, the recollection of his being a Junior dawned upon him, and made him feel so small he fell out thru the knot-hole- Juniors, brace up, stop this back-sliding motion, why couldn ' t you have made the Juniors a shining light of great radiance? I am going to show you some of your mistakes and how to profit by them. First, Juniors, the little saying God helps those who help themselves, did not mean that you should come over and help your- selves to our refreshments at the Senior Party. We trusted you, Juniors, but you failed miser- ably. Profit by it now. Be trustworthy. Your pledge to the J from your candy sale has not been paid. Stop your wrangling and pay it. It is understood that Eddie Block wishes to give the money in such a complicated manner that it is necessary to handle it thru a trust company. We would suggest you get a tax-expert. Pay your pledges promptly and keep your word. At- tack an undertaking with vim and pep, and reserve some of it for the finish. When you wish to achieve an undertaking, it is necessary that you use a little fore- thought and have a well-outlined campaign. In your unsuccessful candy raid at the tour- nament, your attack was faulty and you failed to realize that you were not to cope with people of your own low standard but with level-headed, peppy Seniors. The secret of success is seriousness, and the more serious you are th e better you ' il suc- ceed. To illustrate this you ' ll remember that your fellow-student who was imprisoned in the hollow log, realizing death faced him, be- came serious — and he began to think, and by thinking he remembered what position he occupied in life and consequently his life was saved. Juniors, is it going to be necessary to threaten you with death to make you serious? Is it going to be necessary for the faculty to stand over you with cap-pistols scaring your childish minds into thinking of 48 your duty to the school. We earnestly hope not. In accordance with the custom of preceding classes, I present to you now in the name of the Senior Class this Hatchet. We are de- sirous that you bury this hatchet and with it all past grievances. Despite your criminal tendencies, I have no doubt, Juniors, that after we have gone and you have lost a com- peting class as illustrious as ours, you ' ll ap- pear brilliant enough. Harold J. McDonald, ' 20. Junior Reply to the Seniors Accepting the Ax. We accept this token of your love and af- fection with our heartiest thanks. It de- notes your spirit, and that of preceding classes. Your predecessors may have used it effectively, in fact, I am quite sure that they did; but we do pot expect to follow your example in burying it — except as far as you are concerned — before we start. You see we love the Sophomores and true love never runs smoothly. However, it was very kind of you to keep this for us even if it is rusty. Our gratitude can only be shown in putting it into better use than you have done. — Ione Margaret Leach, ' 21. My dear Seniors, — the rest of the assem- bled multitude too — but is it not only proper and just that we should address this group of intensified knowledge, and in their own eyes, the rivals of the Delphian Oracle? You have given us advice, but as a mem- ber of our class once said, One kind of a fool is he who gives advice, and another is he who will not take it. Have no fear; we have taken it, but to prove that we are wise we must prove that your advice was worth tak- ing. My honorable adversary has expressed your opinions of our class, and has en- deavored, by a few friendly suggestions, to help us to tread the straight and narrow path. But why do we need advice — and further — why should we accept it from you? Of all people on this earth it appears that you are the least able to give it! You have ac- complished nothing, so therefore, it would seem that we, too, are fools if we do take it. But to get to my point — I must break this very gently — to a large degree it will be im- possible for me to follow in the foot-steps of my predecessors. You know that in previous years it has been the custom to go over the annals of the senior class. Not wishing to disappoint you I endeavored to do so, but — there ain ' t no annals. I ' m sure that you are sorry, but you ' re no sorrier than I, for it meant that I was obliged to do something desparate in order that the lower classmen should not realize what nonentities you have been. To facilitate matters I have decided to resurrect what material I could of your past history, and to color it very highly. You appreciate the necessity of the camouflage, don ' t you? And you ' ll excuse me if I use considerable imagination? Thank you, I ' ll proceed. But first — loving you as we do and for- getting all past grievances — we all want to congratulate you on your school athletics. Several members of your class have proved your fidelity to the athletic standards and as- pirations of the school and have made, not only you, but all of us proud of them. We thank these boys, and we thank you for your spirit. That is the only bouquet you are going to receive this afternoon, so take it and be thankful for small blessings. Speaking of athletics, we cannot but think of your short comings as a class in that line. Never mind, you undoubtedly saw the tears of pity being shed by us when the Freshmen beat you boys in basketball this spring. We Junior girls fairly wailed when we pushed you girls off the map last March. What have you accomplished as a class? Stop just a minute and think. I know it ' s hard, put please try, just this once. The 49 most important thing that I have discovered is the development of a few notorious char- acters. Louis Lagger, for instance. Poor Louis, it is said that like Louis XIV he, too, has failed. Being a detective is not as easy as it looks, therefore, the senior party refresh- ment mystery is still unsolved. Up in the Library, Norman Stiner is noted for his wit — after Miss Spangler has passed on it, and it has been considerably diluted. Jack King and Chink Lewis have tried to bluff their teachers into believing that, at least, if they don ' t work at school, they do at home. We ' ll admit t hat the overalls were pretty good evi- dence, but only seeing, or extreme faith, is believing. Eddie Blatt seems to be renowned as the leader of the collarless crusade. Home to Paradise via the office! There is one meritorious character for which we will give you credit. You have produced a gen- ius in historical research. Wesley Diedrich, we find, is intensely interested in Cleopatra. The self-satisfied spirit of your class has been personified in Tevas With. Jim Bell, your notorious thief, tries to swear that he has re- formed and takes nothing now, but the girls ' handkerchiefs. We regret that you will feel so unhappy when you look back in after years and com- pare your class with your successors. It will look so dull and colorless beside our brilliant career. We thank you heartily for the little bother that you have been to us in these past years. We wish you the greatest success in your new work, and we bid you a fond farewell. Ione Margaret Leach, ' 21- 5C Class Song of 1920 Let a song of praise be heard, From a loving spirit stirred; For the class of nineteen-twenty ' s passing on. Though twenty ' s reign is finished Thoughts of her are not diminished; For a good thing lives in mem ' ry when ' tis gone. Chorus. Cheer for dear nineteen-twenty, Her maroon and silver too. The one thing we love better Is Joliet ' s gold and blue. II Swift the years have passed away, Class of twenty, since that day When we peered into the future, hopes on high. And when other days we see Fervent may our wishes be To relive our High School days so long gone by. Chorus. Ill Twenty-one, and two, and three, How they envy you and me For our years completed now and left behind, But we ' re earnest when we say That, on their commencement dey, Sadness mingled with the joy, they then will find. Chorus. IV. Men have viewed your stately walls, Thousands known your learned halls; And the ones who ' ve known you never can forget. You ' ve had loyal sons a plenty, But the worthy class of twenty, Holds you highest, fondest, truest, Joliet. Chorus. Mary Louise Brennan. The music was composed by Dorothy Ried. 51 52 BOYS ' GYMNASIUM. INTERIOR OF BOYS ' GYMNASIUM. COACH C. J. WAGNER As an evidence of the steady growth of our school we see that various branches have from time to time been enlarged, both in number employed and in material equipment. We have at the present time two coaches who are determining our present and future in interscholastic athletics, whereas formerly one pair of shoulders carried the whole burden. So, for the last two years Coach Wagner has been working very hard, and little could be expected along the line of strong teams. As soon as Coach Wagner ' s bur- den was lightened, he produced stronger teams. So far this year his teams have ranked in the first division. His light- weight football team won second place in the Conference, and he gained the same standing in basketball. At present, he is working hard to develop a strong baseball nine, which will undoubtedly have a very successful season. COACH R. A. P. HOLDERBY When school started last fall we had in our midst Mr. R. A. P. Holderby as coach. Coach Holderby has a long record of suc- cessful work in recreational and athletic lines. Coming to Joliet from a position as recrea- tional director at the St. Charles School for boys, Mr. Holderby became athletic director at the Steel Works Club. He left this position to enter the Reserve Officers ' Train- ing Camp early in 1917. He was commis- sioned captain and served overseas with the Eighty-sixth Division. While in France, he was a director of the allied games held near Paris last spring. On his return to Joliet he was appointed to the position he now holds, as Coach at our high school Since his stay in our midst he won the district championship against strong odds and was a strong con- tender for the state title at Champaign. Rap is a member of the State Athletic Committee of the American Legion. By Ackie Flint. 54 Boys ' Athletic Association For several years there has been no organ- ization in our high school whose sole purpose was to promote athletics. Consequently the interest has waned. This year as never be- fore is Joliet Township High School in need of such an organization. Our football season was not an over-whelming success. This was not due to the coaching for our Coaches rank with the best, especially in football, which is Coach Holderby ' s strongest point. However, the best coaching in the world cannot turn defeat into victory with a lack of experienced material and without the united support of the student body. Early in the fall, Mr. V. C. Plummer, Fac- ulty Athletic Manager, formulated plans for a Boosters ' Club to be known as the Boys ' Athletic Association of the Joliet Township High School. The purpose of such an organ- ization is to uphold and promote clean ath- letics in our high school. The first meeting of the Boys ' Athletic Association was held in room 299 during the early part of November. Over fifty boys attended. Mr. Plummer told of what similar organizations did in other cities and what it should do in the J. T. H. S. A committee was elected to draw up a constitution and set of by-laws. The following week election of officers took place. After a close race the following officers were declared elected: President William Heise Vice President .... Richard Cheadle Secretary James Barr Treasurer James Bell The football teams were not receiving the support of the student body and as the season was well on its way a pep meeting was called for all boys enrolled in the association during the latter part of November. At this meeting the constitution and by-laws were read and approved. Mr. Plummer empha- sized the need of supporting the teams and urged all the boys to buy season tickets. He was followed by Dr. Smith and Coach Holderby who also emphasized the importance of supporting the teams. At this meeting OFFICERS BOYS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Wilbur Witwer, Secretary-Treasurer; John Francis, President; Harold McDonald, Vice-President. the largest attendance of the year was re- corded, there being more than two hundred and fifty members present. Immediately after the opening of the sec- ond semester the B. A. A. again convened, this time to elect officers for the semester. The successful ones were: President John Francis Vice President. . .Harold McDonald Secretary James Barr Treasurer Wilbur Witwer The Boys ' Athletic Association this year has accomplished a great deal in that en- thusiasm and support of the games has been created and that more fellows have gone out for the teams. Never before has such a crowd packed the Central Gymnasium as at the final game between Joliet and Waukegan for the basketball championship of North- eastern Illinois. Never before has a team as light as Joliet, averaging only 13 7 y 2 pounds, pulled thru with five victories and won such an honor. No praise is too great for the wearers of the Gold and Blue team. But 55 Q w u W J H 56 I 3? f we ' ve all heard the saying: It ' s what is behind a team that makes it , and this is true, for Joliet never supported a team as it did during Northeastern Sectional Basketball Tournament. This new organization has just completed a successful year and with the proper backing and officers will continue to remain on a firm foundation. It is up to the lower classmen to support this club and make it a success. So pull together fellows and boost for this organization which stands for the betterment of athletics and which will endeavor to put Joliet High School on the athletic map. By George Lloyd, ' 20. FOOTBALL SEASON As soon as school began this fall the call was sent out for football candidates. A fair number of fellows answered the call and after two weeks of hard practice, the kind of practice that only a good physically fit body can endure, our teams were in fairly good condition to go into a real fight. On September 27 we sent our heavy- weights to DeKalb. After a hard fight they were defeated 28-0 by DeKalb ' s well balanced and experienced team. This was the first game of football for the majority of our men. The DeKalb lightweights forfeited to us, and rather than be idle for another week, we played the Streator heavyweights, who were considered one of the strongest teams in the Illinois Valley Conference and who later in the season defeated East Aurora. Streator had too much weight and speed for us and we were defeated 26-0. On October 4th Rockford came down to visit us. In the lightweight game we were outclassed, due to the injuries received in our first game. Rockford ' s win was made possible by their speedy little captain. Score 27-0. In the heavyweight game the team as a whole showed admirable fighting spirit for this game was not decided until the final whistle blew. At times in this game Joliet outplayed the Rabs , but fell down at the critical points; this being due to the inex- perience of our men. The final score was EDWARD J. BLOCK CAPT. HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL TEAM. 14-0 in favor of Rockford. Much credit is due the men who played in this game for the wonderful fighting pep that was shown. It was in this game that our hard little field general Bob Eyman was forced to make that thrilling head spin that brought our hearts into our mouths. On the 11th of October our heavies went to Ottawa. In this game two of our best men, Capt. Block and Jim Bell, were forced out of play due to injuries. After a one-sided battle we were forced to submit to the wonder- ful offensive of the Ottawa eleven. Score 32-8. Our lights were without a game on this date. We went over to visit West Aurora on Oc- tober the 18th, but, believe me, those big fel- lows over there aren ' t very considerate of their visitors, for they won from our heavies by a score of 53-0. Nuff sed! Our lights showed the little men a bit of their fight and won an interesting pastime, 19-6. Remember the wonderful signals that worked so magnificently in this game? After playing pig in the mud for a week 57 AXEL FLINT CAPT. LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL TEAM. our teams went over to play Freeport in their mudhole. Our lights played a fine defensive game, holding Freeport to a no-count game (0-0). Do you remember how Fairburn nearly ran across the goal? So near and yet so far! But nearly doesn ' t count in this game. In the heavyweight game the mud went up to their ankles and after half a game of hard football the Freeporters showed them- selves the better mud horses and won a slow game 19-7. On November 1st East Aurora came over to show us what they thought of us. One glance at the score will convince you that they didn ' t think much, for they won a slow onesided game with a score of 32-7. Our lights retained the reputation they gained in the West Aurora game and won a fast game with a score of 12-3. On a fine day in November, the 8th to be exact, our teams played Elgin. The one and only thing that their Lights did was to dropkick through a window in the gym. When they went to the field they couldn ' t do as well and in a short game we beat them 7-0. Remember Foolish Ryan — he did it! In the second game the heavies were in the hands of the fast and hard-fighting watch- makers and were defeated 27-0. When the conference football season ended we found that our heavies had not won a game. This was not due to the lack of fight- ing spirit or gameness but to the lack of experience and weight, in fact the team was nothing more than lightweights playing out of their class. The lightweight team made somewhat of a better showing in their class, winning all but one game in the conference, getting second place. They were defeated by the Streator heavies early in the season in an outside game. With no hopes of another lightweight game, our lights disbanded. Some turned in their suits, while others who had not had enough of the eleven man prizefight, went over and played with the heavies. On Thanksgiving Day Decatur came up to visit us and incidently to defeat us, but they were suprised and we won our only game 19-0- Two sets of backfields, the heavy and light backfields, were used in this game and helped considerably. This game ended our football season. 1919 FOOTBALL REVIEW From the viewpoint of the students the 1919 football season was a disastrous failure, but from the standpoint of the team the season was a very profitable one. Eight of the entire squad were men who had some expe- rience last year, though only one was a true veteran. The majority of the squad had never played football before this year, so we can see the conditions the coach and the men had to face in the building up of this year ' s team. In reviewing this season it is long to be remembered the determination and admirable fighting spirit which each man displayed. Entering each game with small hopes of vic- tory — always the weaker team physically — they were invariably the inexperienced ones. The team improved greatly from game to game as the season advanced. Coach Flold- erby worked under various difficul ties, never- theless he stuck to his task, though often greatly discouraged. 58 ' HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL TEAM. Standing — Left to Right — R. A. P.

As individuals they fought hard, but the team as a whole lacked the punch when ft was most needed. Although they lacked ex- perience they fought with that old determined spirit to the end, even though outclassed. The underclass men of this year ' s team who will be back are: Capt. Block, Tong, Harris, Eyman, Sehring, Garnsey, Jolly, Bolton, Ashley, T. Flint and Lennon and with a few lightweight members, Coach Holderby should have a team next year which will be hard to put down in defeat. Hyde, L. Stephen, Gardner, J. McGann, Bell and Hutchinson of the heavies, and King, E. Blatt, Ryan, Witwer, Unmack, Schiek and A. Flint of the lights have played their last games for the J. T. H S. and deserve special notice. Each one fought a hard aggressive game throughout the season and their absence next fall will be keenly felt. Ackie Flint, ' 20. SCORES FOR THE SEASON Opp. Jol. Hvs. Sept. 27. .DeKalb 28 Oct. 4. ..

The score at the end of the first quarter was 9-3, and at half time 25-6. In the fourth quarter Coach Holderby sent in his second combination, who finished in fine style, the final score was 50-14. This was Joliet ' s easiest game of the whole five games which they played. This is the second time in the last five years that Joliet has won the district tourney, the first time being in 1916. Joliet is the only repeater. We have also been in the finals for four years, 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1920. The lineups: Joliet (50) Waukegan (14) Lewis (Morris, Capt.) .R.

By John F. Lux. Joliet High ' s blue and gold clad warriors, after a long, gruelling fight extending over three days, last night swept home to the dis- trict basketball championship by defeating Waukegan High 50 to 14, at Central Gym, while nearly one thousand fans, packed inside the structure, and hundreds more who were unable to get in, cheered themselves hoarse- The victory came after a long uphill fight for the blue and gold. The Joliet team, made up of the city ' s finest, had the hardest schedule of any of the teams entered in the tourney. It bucked up against the best in northeastern Illinois basketball, displayed superior ability and emerged with five vic- tories and the coveted title. Defeat Fresh Team. Last night ' s game was a smashing triumph for the wearers of the blue and gold. Wauke- gan High had played its first game Friday afternoon, while Joliet ' s team — Thursday afternoon and again Friday morning — had eliminated New Trier, the strong Cook County aggregation, and Proviso High from the race. Waukegan ' s schedule was com- paratively easy and its team fresh for the final dash. Joliet got into the semi-finals by trouncing the strong Chicago Heights team, which numbers among its players Kotal, conceded to be one of the fastest basketball players in the state, and then yesterday afternoon fol- lowed up its triumphs by defeating the husky five from Cicero in the semi-finals. Waukegan ' s opponents in their opening contests were in the sporting parlance gravy . They had little difficulty in defeat- ing Piano and Gardner, but Mazon gave them a fight in the semi-finals yesterday afternoon. The Waukegan regulars were comparatively fresh for last night ' s contest. But Joliet was too strong. Harris Is the Berries. To Bobby Harris, a lion-hearted youngster of 135 pounds, goes a great share of credit for the Joliet victory. But the credit cannot be placed with any one man. Every man of Coach Holderby ' s team played the game all the way and the team work of the locals was remarkable. Harris played uncanny basketball. Out of the 170 some points scored by his team, he registered nearly one hundred. In the after- noon game against Cicero he scored all the Joliet counters and again last night in the finals his basket shooting was remarkable. Joliet went raving mad over its team during the tournament. Never has a team wearing the gold and blue been accorded the support that the entire city gave Coach Holderby ' s warriors. Hundreds fought to get in the Central Gymnasium yesterday afternoon and great crowds massed around the doorways last night after the hall had been filled- The city was literally basketball mad. Ticket Prices Aviate. Tickets were at a premium during the after- noon and offers of $5 and $10 for reserved seats at the evening game were plentiful and went begging. Spectators were packed in the standing room section like sardines; yet everyone was happy — Joliet was playing basketball as it never played it before. After an exhibition game between the Joliet Junior College and the lightweights, which the former won 31 to 21, Joliet trotted out for practice. The gold and blue huskies were greeted by a deafening roar of cheers. Waukegan took the floor and got a big hand from a delegation of Lake County fans . There was some delay at the start and the starting gun was not fired until nearly 9:30 o ' clock. Joliet appeared fresh in practice 70 while the Waukegan outfit appeared to be tired and lifeless . Waukegan Outclassed. Harris, Lewis and T. Flint led the Joliet attack in the first quarter and Waukegan was outclassed. Its forwards could not get through the strong defense of Kallman and A. Flint and its guards could not stop the Joliet attack. At the end of the first quarter Joliet was leading 9 to 3 and the crowd went raving mad. The Joliet boys continued the pace in the second quarter and practically cinched the championship in this period, emerging with a lead of 25 to 6. Waukegan was unable to cope with the attack of Harris, Lewis and Flint and Joliet showered in field goals at will. Send in Second String. The second half was a reptition of the first and then Coach Holderby sent in his second string men to finish up the Waukegan outfit. They did it in neat style, Eyman, Morris, Hyde, Shiek and Sehring putting over a neat style of attack. The final gun sounded with Joliet out in front to the tune of 50 to 14. The gymnasium was a riot of noise as the final gun sounded- Frantic fans rushed on the floor and the champions were carried to the dressing rooms. Other wild fans who could not reach the winning players con- tented themselves by making as much noise as possible. It was the wildest night that Joliet has experienced in years. Joliet was happy and told the world that it was. The five men who carried the brunt of the battle own the town today. They can have anything they want. Are Bantam Team. The team that won the district tournament championship for Joliet is probably the light- est and youngest basketball outfit representing any northern Illinois high school. The squad averages only 137 4 pounds in weight and 17 years in age. Little Bobby Harris, who scored nearly one hundred points weighs only 133 pounds. The lineups: Joliet (50)— FG. FT. TP.

Kallman and Herbert Schiek, who graduate from school next June. By virtue of its victory in the tourney last night Joliet will represent the northeastern district in the state championship tournament which will be held in Urbana late this month or early in April. Nineteen schools, title- holders in each district, will play for the state championship in this event. Holderby Is Hero. Coach Holderby, overwhelmed with con- gratulations for the splendid victories of his team said after the winning battle last night: Joliet fought an uphill battle; played five games to their opponents ' four and all the players deserve an equal amount of credit. The guarding in the last two games was al- most perfect, the basket shooting of the forwards beyond comparison and the work of the entire team excellent. We are going after the state championship for Joliet. Joliet ' s gameness was demonstrated by the fact that Lewis played with an injured hand. 71 Kallman ' s knee had been hurt in an early game, while Harris and T. Flint were nursing injuries received in a previous contest. Team Is Light. The ages and weights of the Joliet team: C. Lewis U6V 2 17 A. Flint 134 4 19 0. Kallman Uiy 2 18 H. Schiek 137 17 B.

One of the most consistent performers on the team, especially good at team work. Fats did not have a lot of speed, but what he had he knew how to use. He will be back with the team next year. RAY MORRIS, Captain, Right Forward His arguments always carry weight, but his own weight was always lacking. Ray is a hard worker, with plenty of fight. He gained for himself the name of the Hard Little Captain . Cap will be back next season. ART HYDE, Center. Art was always up and at ' em from start to finish. His specialty was dropping in the long ones. He did credit to himself and the team whenever he was called upon. Art will be missing next season. 72 BOB EYMAN, Right or Left Guard. You can ' t keep a good man down. Bob played lightweights all season and, because of his wonderful performance, he he was picked to work in the tournament — and did his duty; for he was at the bottom cf all the plays on both the offense and the defense. Bob will be back next season. STEW CONNELL, Forward, Center, Guard. Stew filled in anywhere. Naturally a forward, but was used in center because of his far reach. Stew acted as trainer at the state tournament. He will be back next year. l . - ROSIE, SCHIEK, Right Guard. One of the season ' s developments. His work is in reverse proportion to his words; and he seldom talks. A hard fighter and al- ways ready to do his part whenever he was needed. Rosie will graduate. TED FLINT, Center. One of the season ' s developments. The tallest man in the conference. He stops everything that comes his way. His specialty was stopping high balls. After a few weeks of the game he made himself indispens- able to the team. Ted made the center position on the all-tournament team. He will be back next season. 73 r BOB HARRIS, Left Forward. By their works ye shall know them. There was nothing which could keep us from recognizing him. Bob was the main scor- ing machine, making at least seven baskets in each game he played. Bob easily made left forward on the all-tournament team. He will be back next season. CHINK LEWIS, Right Forward. One of the season ' s developments. Great on passing and team work. Altho light, he played as we ll as the best of them — never gave up ' till the end. He graduates this year. OCKIE KALLMAN, Left Guard- It took the opponents just one play to find out they could not make many pleasure trips to the basket. Ockie was the mainstay of the team on defense. An excellent proof that size does not make the man. He made guard on the second all-tournament team. He will be missing next season. ACKIE FLINT, Right Guard. The fighting guard. Much comment about the way he climbed their frames. Played standing guard mostly. Not very heavy but fought like a demon. He has been out for sports since the beginning and made lights until this year, when he played heavyweights. Ackie made the all-star tournament team. We will miss him next year for he graduates.

Every- thing from Indian clubs and dumb-bells for the lighter exercises to the serpentine, hori- zontal and vertical are in use. There are also stall-bars, jumping standards, a vault- ing horse, a bridge ladder and a prepared wall and mast installed. The plan is to secure healthful daily exer- cise and recreation to all girl students, to in- struct them in the use of body, and to teach them, both theoretically and practically, the laws of health. The Joliet High School girls have introduced gymnastics into their habits in a profitable and earnest manner. This is not only in the interest of public health, but of mental efficiency. When they are ac- customed to take pleasure in these healthy exercises, we may be sure of a prompt amel- ioration of our people. In calisthenics the exercises are more di- rected to ensure grace and ease in the several movements of the body than muscular de- velopment, and are, therefore, closely allied to the free exercises of the gymnast. Among these exercises dancing takes a prom- inent part, being at once healthful and grace- ful. All calisthenics, drill, games and danc- ing are directed by Miss Ruggles and Miss Henderson. There are numerous sports in which the girl of today participates. In 1918 a Girls ' Cadet Corps was organized which proved very successful. The girls were taught to drill as well as their brothers. Later in 1919, the Girls ' Rifle Club came to the front, taking the place of the girls ' battalion- It is indeed a sight to behold the girls (some timid too) shooting, making scores that real soldiers would be proud to possess. Under the general supervision of Mr. H. D. Grose, Unit No. 601 was organized with Mrs. 0. C. Copley as instructor and Mr. Grose as assist- ant. The members and their qualifications are: Frances Beattie — Marksman. Cecilia Carey — First Barman. Agnes Carney — Marksman. Mildred Carson — Sharpshooter-warden. Mildred Ditto — First Barman. Helen Fraser — Sharpshooter, Assistant Supervisor. Loretta Heitschold — Marksman. Veronica Kennedy — Marksman, Recorder. Mildred Copley — Seventh Barman, Range Officer. Marie Young — Fifth Barman, Supervisor. The two latter girls were the first girls in J. T. H. S. to receive medals for shooting. All of the girls are anticipating owning the Ex- pert Medal, which is solid gold, before gradu- ation day. To win this medal 100 perfect targets possible 250 or 500 perfect shots must be made. At the present time the girls are using the Masonic Temple Range in the Joliet Rifle Club Rooms but as soon as the weather will permit, the Rowell Avenue Range will be used. March 5, some other girls followed the Senior girls example and now have unit No. 667 in excellent running order. This unit was formed by Helen Addleman. Edith An- derson soon formed unit No. 600, and April 20, Enid L. Kewin organized a unit which 80 • ■ Sf f L 1IMBEBI w H pq H w U! oo • pq oo CJ en OJ CD H -o a Q _ S- c o R u C Pm X.i i— i o o A W 00 u .a ■So o 00 o So 2§ 81 I ' ! t % 5 ! C .1 w Hj Ha Hi -i .

The first important thing the club did was to stage a girls ' class basketball tournament, the first in years, at the Central Gymnasium. All the games were interesting and full of pep. In the first games of the tournament, the Sophomore girls showed signs of ability when they beat the Freshmen 19 to 13. The Juniors exhibited great skill when they beat the Seniors 19 to 10. In the next game be- tween the Sophomores and the Juniors, the latter won the High School Championship by a score of 35 to 16. In the last and fast- est game of the tournament, the Junior Col- lege girls won over the Juniors by the close score of 28 to 27. The teams are composed of: Freshmen: Forwards — Agnes Morrison, Mary Ryan. Guards — Margaret Hartinal, Nellie Huckle. Centers — Mary Weeks, Elizabeth Durrell.

Band Very few people know the history of the band which every wide-awake person in town supports today. Since no actual record has been kept of the proceedings of the band, it would be almost impossible to tell about all of the trips and banquets the band has at- tended. However, I shall attempt to relate to you some of the things accomplished by the band. First let me tell you something of its organization. In September, 1913, Louis Condy was au- thorized by the school board to organize a band in this school. Shortly afterwards Mr- A. R. McAllister was asked to direct the band. Mr. McAllister came to this school the latter part of October and consented to or- ganize the band late in November. Decem- ber 31, 1913, eleven instruments were pur- chased by the school board thru Mr. McAl- lister. These were added to the five pur- chased by Mr. Condy sometime in Septem- ber. Later two drums were purchased by the school board which brought the band up to eighteen in number. The band started rehearsing in January, 1914, in the old Manual Training building which was situated on the southeast corner of Jefferson Street and Eastern Avenue. Six- teen boys attended the rehearsal after school was dismissed — after the purchase of ' the two drums, there were eighteen boys. At this stage of the game, interest was not shown by the public as it is to-day. This, however, did not bury the spirit of the boys. To-day this band ranks as one of the best bands in the state; and it has never been out- classed by an organization of the same kind. No wonder the boys are proud to belong to the band. So far as I am able to find out, the first touches of the much talked of Student Form of Government were worked out in the band. Mr. McAllister needed an assistant director to help him with minor details and selected Forest Merrill, now student director of the University of Michigan Band. Soon after the organization in 1914, the enrollment was increased to twenty. Follow- ing is a list of the twenty charter members of the band: Forest Merrill Hobart Schulenberg Ahlvin Tehle Elmer Brockway Joseph Wallace Carl Calmer Reginald Wagner Elmer Geissler George Lagen Dave Hirsh Howard Schluntz Hollis Miles Everett Meder Milton Miles Franklin Bush Herbert Folkers Merrill Zinzer Herbert Hinricks Clark Feeney Raymond Pretz Five weeks of intensive training found the band ready to appear in public. At this time the student body was assembled and the band made its first appearance. The following is a clipping from the Herald in which the school news of that date was published: Everybody is talking about the band, as yesterday was the first time that it has played before the student body. To say that it made a good impression on those listening would be putting it mild. To think that 20 or 25 fellows, the majority of whom thought that the wind instruments were to be blown by men and not by freshmen boys before November of last year, have not only learned how to play their individual instruments, but have helped to make a high school band in a little over 3 months! It is one which the students are proud of, too, which was proven by the encore. • To A. R. McAllister is due the credit of this remarkable showing. He has been with the members as individuals, or as a group, every night during the 3 months, and has put forth his utmost effort to make the or- ganization of the band a success, but he is not alone in his work. Those who are in the band have responded willingly, and sacrificed 87 a number of hours each week which would otherwise have been used for pleasure. When the two sides are working together this way, it is not long before harmony is produced. The first recognition given the band by an outside organization was the presentation of a beautifully mounted American flag by Bartleson Post, G. A. R., on March 22, ' 19. These men who kept Old Glory waving over the whole nation, instilled in this young organization an early patriotic inspiration which has continually manifested itself in deeds not merely in words. After this first endorsement by an outside organization, recognition came from all parts of the city. Many trips were enjoyed by the band as guests of various organizations. Main trips were as follows: Add. Club Chicago Spanish War Veterans Chicago Rotary Club Springfield Rotary Club Kankakee Add. Club Aurora Rotary Club Bloomington G. A. R. Wilmington In 1917 the great World War received as another participant the U. S.. Even before we actually entered the war, the band made the Cause their Cause. Morning, noon, and night the band played, putting the necess rv pep into the selected men, and into Red Cross, Liberty Loan Y. M. C. A. activities and Americanization movements. The whole of Will County was readily supported by the band, regardless of the hour, day or night. Through the officials of the school, a signa ' was issued. Four minutes after this signal the band was in full uniform and on its way to cheer, enroute to the fields of valour, troops that by chance passed through our city or occasionally stopped over for a few minutes- At the call of War, seventeen of the living nineteen (Carl Calmer, deceased), original members, entered the services of Uncle Sam, and as many more of the newer members, making the band quota thirty-four in all. During the summer of 1918, two weeks were spent at Camp Steever, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Captain Beals and his staff pro- claimed the J. T. H. S. Band the best ap- pearing band officially attending that ramp during the entire season. This record was the beginning of the Nationally Known J. T. H. S. Band, for in January, 1919, this band was selected by the War Department of the United States, as the official band of Camp Pershing, Louisville, Kentucky. A few days before we were to leave, the trip was can- celled on account of the flu, which prevailed over the entire United States. However, August, 1919, found the band encamped at Camp Roosevelt, Muskegon, Michigan. The War Department selected Camp Roosevelt as the model for 1920 camps. Much credit is given the band for the suc- cess of Camp Roosevelt. While at camp, the band was inspected by Col. Morrow, head of the R. O. T. C. in the United States. Col- Duryea and the Lieut. Governor of Michi- gan also inspected us. Col. Duryea was the representative of Secretary of War Baker. An evening concert was arranged by the Chamber of Commerce of Muskegon and this was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We were the only band allowed to leave camp to play an outside concert. In fact, we were the only ones asked. This again shows the way we put things over. Members of the band ranked equally with the other members of the camp. Medals were won by almost every member of the band. The medals brought home were: Efficiency, Good Conduct, Marksman, Sharpshooters, Swimming and Life Saving medals- It has been urgently requested that the band return to the 1920 camp, but owing to the fact that we are going to make the trip of trips this summer, it will be impossible to attend Camp Roosevelt. Since the success of the band has been noted, let me tell you the reasons for it. First we must congratulate Mr. McAllister for having the ability to direct a band and for his executive powers- Then we must thank the previous members for the good work they have accomplished, which the band to-day is upholding. We have had at all times the loyal support of the school board, the Superintendent, Rotary Club, Associa- tion of Commerce, in fact, of almost every public and patriotic-spirited organization in the community. Last, but not least, we owe our gratitude to Mr. H. A. Stillman. Mr. Stillman was formerly a member of the school board and a staunch promoter and supporter of the band. The band made its appearance in athletics at the first baseball game in April, 1914, and has been present at almost all activities both at home and at other schools. Among the athletic trips are: Rockford, Freeport, Blue Island, Naperville, Elgin, Batavia, Aurora, and Chicago Heights. Ask any athlete about the band; he knows. At present, the enrollment is seventy-five in comparison with the original twenty. We have increased three hundred and fifty per cent in number. All of the seventy-five boys are enrolled in the R. O. T. C. Since the organization of the R. O- T. C. the band has been inspected three times by officers of the General Staff, always receiving the finest grades. An event which the band regards as the crowning glory of its career to date takes place in June, 1920, when the Joliet Rotary Club expects to take forty-three members of the J. T. H. S. band to the National Rotary Convention in Atlantic City, June 17-27 will stand out as red letter days, indeed, and all friends and admirers of the band are happy that the boys are to receive this recognition of their untiring work, their excellent music, their cheerful co-operation and their willing service.

The establishment of a Junior Reserve Officers ' Training Corps Unit at the Joliet Township High School was requested by J. Stanley Brown, then superintendent of the school, through the War Department. The request was granted and the War Department detailed Col. Benjamin J. Tillman as Pro- fessor of Military Science Tactics. Col. Tillman arrived March seventh, nineteen- nineteen, and with the old High School Regi- ment, then in charge of Mr. A. R. McAllister as an instructor, organized an R. O. T. C. Regiment consisting of three hundred and twenty-four men. The organization was di- vided into two battalions, each of which was composed of three companies, and the J. T. H. S. Band. On April thirtieth Capt. Phillip Dod- dridge arrived as Assistant Professor of Mili- tary Science Tactics and immediately took charge of the office. From March until June first the boys in the R. O. T. C. drilled faith- fully under the personal direction of Col. Till- man and Capt. Doddridge. On June first Col. Tillman left for a trip to France and Capt- Doddridge was ordered to Camp Custer as bayonet instructor in the R. O. T. C. Camp there. Six representatives of the J. T. H. S. accompanied Capt. Doddridge to Camp Custer and the records returned to the school for them were exceptionally good. September first found both Col. Tillman and Capt. Doddridge with us again. They immediately reorganized the three hundred and thirty-seven boys into a regiment with new cadet officers in charge. Col. Tillman was ordered to report in Texas by November first, so the title, Professor of Military Science and Tactics fell upon Capt. Doddridge. On October twenty-seventh a splendid farewell dance was given for Col. Tillman. At this dance the girls of the school were given their first real opportunity to see the results of the instruc- tion given the boys in the R. O- T. C. An exhibition drill was very well presented by the crack platoon of the school. The next day the R. O. T. C. Band escorted Col. Till- man to the depot. The arrival of uniforms and equipmen t was delayed, but they finally began to arrive in November and very soon each boy was in possession of a complete uniform. When the rifles and ammunition arrived, the sheriff would not allow them to be unpacked because of the steel strike conditions, so they were re- turned to the Rock Island Arsenal. Finally, in February nineteen-twenty, conditions per- mitted the return of our rifles and ammuni- tion. It is interesting to know that every rifle now in the care of the R. O. T. C. boys was carried by a member of the First Divis- ion A. E. F. in France. During the Christmas vacation, due to the fact the Federal laws state that at least fifty boys must be in each R. O- T. C. company, the Joliet R. O. T. C, then composed of three hundred and forty boys was organized into a battalion. Each boy in the R. 0. T. C. has spent three hours each week in military in- struction. Twice each week the boys report in small groups to the gymnasium, and each Thursday an entire unit marches to Richards Street Field for Battalion drill. The Joliet R. O. T. C. has been inspected three times by officers from the R. O. T. C. branch of the General Staff of the Central Department. These officers have all praised the work of the Joliet R. O. T. C. Unit as be- ing very superior. Great credit for this fact is due to the unfailing interest and determina- tion of Capt. Doddridge. Capt. Doddridge has offered a beautiful bronze cup as a permanent trophy for the best drilled company in the R. O. T. C. each year. A competitive drill will be held each year during the month of May to determine the winning company.

The spirit of rivalry is very noticeable among the officers and men as- signed to the different companies, so by Ma} ' twenty-first, the day of the competitive drill, one may well expect to see a very proficient organization. On the night of the twenty-first of May the R. O. T. C. will hold what promises to be the greatest dance in the history of the school- Every R. O. T. C. boy will be present and the organization will have as its guests the officers who are to act as judges for the competitive drill. Preceding the dance, the officers of the R. O. T. C. will be hosts at a banquet for the Army Officers. The organization of various groups of men in the army hygiene, first aid, morale, and similar subjects have been topics chosen for many lectures during the past year. To- gether with these lectures, motion pictures were usually shown. Practical experience has made for proficiency in close order drill and small arms firing. Small arms firing has been especially prominent during the last two months. Preliminary drill, sighting drill, position, and aiming, were all forerunners to actual gallery practice. The fact that four teams of riflemen represent the R. O. T. C. in the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps shows that the boys are interested in shooting. Unit 428, an R. 0. T. C. Unit under the instruc- tion of Mr- Grose, won the National Junior Military Match and as a result were awarded a beautiful cup. Capt. Doddridge expects to take the larger boys to the State Rifle Range for target practice with the big army rifles during the month of June; so these boys ex- pect to nurse sore shoulders during examina- tion week. Every man in the R. O. T. C. has become a better citizen because of the lectures given, the discipline to which he has been subject, the association of man to man, and because of the splendid examples Col. T illman and Capt. Doddridge have proved to be. The growth of the R. O. T. C. is assured and in the future its present members will be able to look back with pride at their own expe- riences in the Joliet Junior Reserve Officers ' Training Corps Unit. Leonard H.
