Even in this enlightened age, there are some periods in the history of all prominent institutions which present a dark, somewhat hazy existence in the past and about which very little is definitely known. Such is the case witli tlie Joliet High School from 185S lo 1874 when the first class, consisting of ihrec girls, was graduated and when llie high sclioid classes were tatight, at times in the old KasUrn Avenue school and again, in rooms over tlu- old Cagwin Bank on Jefferson Street. From 1874-1879 neither graduates nor commencements are recorded, but since 1879, each year has witnessed a successfnl hi.gh school commencement in Jnliel. By 1882, the need for a high school Iniild- ing was voiced and soon met hv the erection of the old building on Chicago Street It was on the uiiper floor of lli.at Imilding that for some I en years the higli school classes were conducted. The old feeling of rivalry between the east side and the west side, still prevalent among some of our older residents, gave rise to ;i high school buildin.g west of the river in 1887, where the name West Side Hi.gh School was deeply cut in stone upon the front wall. There it still stands today, but its function as a high school long ago succtimbed to the law of the survival of the fittest and has lallen to the lowly state of a grammar school, taking on the less pretentious name of Broad- way School. F.ven as early as 1892, a proposition for a township Iiigh school was submitted, but the ! i!J Original Buij-Oing lLdjiiJRfl  1 -i3r EASTERN AVENUE ELEVATION time did not seem ripe till almost seven years later when the high school had crowded the grade pupils out of the building on Chicago Street and even utilized the halls and ward- robes for class rooms. A state law passed shortly before that time, regarding the es- tablishing of township high schools, reguired a petition signed by fifty or more citizens to submit the question. A petition was duly drafted, submitted, and Siigned by the requi- Siite number and filed on February 21, 1899. Several months later as a result of the deci- sive vote of 2,725 to 329, the Joliet Township High School district was declared established. Shortly afterward, the citizens of Joliet so generously authorized several successive bond issuesi to insure the selection and purchase of a hiigh school site and the erection of a suit- able building upon it that the present high school building was completed and dedicated on April 4, 1901. That building, characterized by Andrew S. Draper, President of the Illinois University as the finest high school building in Amer- ica, was at that time justly considered to be a super-structure. With its marvelous ar- rangement of laboratories, assembly hall, library, and museum, it was the pride of the community. The wonderful breathing appa- ratus or ventilating system and the spacious arteries or corridors of thiis herculean pet of the public were current topics of discussion, but to us who know it better much is amus- ing. We cannot imagine an office barely larger than Dr. Smith ' s private sanctuary, especially on a Monday morning after a Friday after- noon ' s ditching escapade. Neither could we very readily become accustomed to a gymnasium of a size of old 329, then called the Basket-ball room. We should certainly like to have seen it or the Juniors ' or Seniors ' room, both being designed to accommodate ALL of both classes or the auditorium which with! balcony seats comfortably 1500 people. We prefer not to meditate on their idea of being- seated comfortably. Certain, it is, that the seating capacity lacks that number by at least five hundred. In ten years, the high school liad increased its enrollment from little more than 125 to almost 600 and had more than doubled its teaching force. No sooner was the new building complete than its growth multiplied by great leaps and bounds, so that five years later the student enrollment had grown to 1000 and the faculty to thirty-eight. This growth was so marvelously rapid that in 1915 it necessitated the erection of an ad- dition on Herkimer Street almost half the HIGH SCHOOL. 1882 size of the original liuiMiiit;. Even then, until the addition of 1921-2J somewhat reliev- ed the situation, the building was entirely in- adequate. Besides using three storage rooms, several wash rooms, the women ' s rest room and three rooms lighted by artificial light only, six outside buildings including churches, flat buildings and an ex-busincss l.ilock were also pressed into service. With the completion of tlie 1921-22 addition, many of the shops were moved into the new building, and a lunch room with a seating capacity of 800 and a supplementary lunch room for the teachers were incorporated on the fourth floor. In the very heart of the build- ing a new- gymnasium shines forth with a seating capacity of 2,000 and of 2,000 more by placing movable seats on the gymnasium floor and on the running track above, thus creating a convention hall rich in acoustic properties. Above the topmost seat of the permanent bleachers, is the indoor running track of fourteen laps to tlu ' mile, making it one of the largest of it ' kind in this section of the country. The erection of the last million and one- half dollar addition to our hiigh school has been the forward step to the realization of a dream of one great education system, directed by one group of executives and including a comliination of academic high school. Junior College, night school, continuation school, American.ization school, and vocational trade school. The academic high school has grown from a struggling, almost unknown institution to one of national reputation; from a school of- fering but one general course to a school ofifer- ing a dozen and several times that number of variations of the regular courses besides. Its English department has been built up to include in the majority of courses, three years of required English with electives of English or American Literature or Public Jspeaking in the senior year. More than five hundred students are taking advantage of the foreign language study which is directed by a corps of able instructors. The mathe- matics department ofi ers three and one-half years of w ' ork, including commercial arithme- tic, elementary and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigonometry. Its departments of Home Economics and Manual arts both ofTer excellent courses of the most practical value to students, while the com- mercial courses, established soon after the re- moval to the Jefifcrson Street building, are preparing scores of promising stenographers and book-keepers for the business world. All students are required to take Occupations and Civics, while the majority must take a year of world history and one-half year of Ameri- can history. Physical education is neglected for neither boys nor girls, both being pro- vided w ' ith a suitable gj-mnasium. The Science department offers several one and two semester chemistry courses, botany, zoology, and biology, geography, physio- graph} ' , and physics. As early as 1901, special advanced courses in some of these sciences, particularly in chemistry and advanced physics were estab- lished and went to form the nucleus of the whole Junior College movement. These courses were follow ' ed by others in higher mathematics, including geometry, college al- gebra and several additional chemistry cour- ses, literature and the modern languages. Within the next few j ' ears, the Universities and colleges throughout the North and Middle West were accepting students from the Jun- ior College. Its name was officially estab- lished six j ' ears ago, and in 1920 the work was reorganized on a more complete and sufficient basis. Since then its prestige has so increased that it has been recognized by the Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges as a successful enterprise. Page Te HIGH SCH(K) Although the Junior College is a part of the high school to the casual observer, its work being conducted in the high school building, it has its own assembly, librarv and student regulations offering more privileges and greater freedom to the students than is possible in the high school. From an extended chemistry course, the college has grown to include courses of pre- commerce, literature and arts, insurance, pre- medical, pre-Iegal, household administration, teachers, industrial adminstration, chemistry and chemical engineeriing, electrical engineer- ing, railway electrical and railway mechani- cal engineering, railway civil engineering, municipal and sanitary engineering, and mech- anical engineering. Its enrollment, last year, showed an increase of approximately 25 per cent over that of the previous year, while an examination showed that about one-fifth of the enrolled Freshmen were non-resident, coming from high schools in Lockport, Plainfield, Manhattan, Morris, Providence, Pontiac and Wilmington, besides a number of students whose families have be- come residents of the city in order to take advantage of the unusual opportunities offered for securing a high school and Junior College education. Our night school is a miniature resident type of those glorified correspondence schools which guarantee to double your salary or pro- mote you from chief bottle-washer in the Snider ' s Catsup Works to the President of the New York Central in thirty days. Our school is much more modest in its claims, but it affords a chance for an extended meas- ure of specialization to the business worker or housewife. Most of the students enrolled have taken subjects relating directly to their work as a manner of improvement, and as a result the commercial course, mechanical drawing, and wireless telegraphy classes have usually been overcrowded, while all the classes in the do- mestic arts have been surprisingly well filled. For some time the State had felt the need to offer a part-time extension in various branches of the educational field to those of its children who were compelled to discon- tinue their education at an early age to go into the industrial world. It was seen that they would need not only academic work but vocational training as well, to better fit them- selves for their respective industrial pursuits and for their places in society. It was also found by experience that evening schools did not fully meet the need, for it was only the older and the most energetic and ambitious of the workers who would attend school after the day ' s work was finished. Thus, only a few were affected wher e the whole mass of the children from 14 to 18 years were expec- ted to benefit, and it was realized that if any- thing of any worth at all was to be accomplish- ed, attendance must be made compulsory and the time spent in school deducted from the time spent at work at the rate of eight hours per week and at a minimum of thirty-six weeks each year, between the hours of eight o ' clock in the forenoon and five o ' clock in the after- noon on all regular business days except Sat- urday afternoon. So, at the 1919 session of the Illinois Legis- lature, two laws were enacted that dealt with part-time or day continuation schools. In text these laws were elaborations of each other, but in substance they provided for the gradual inauguration of a system of compul- sory part-time schools until September 1921, but not to be outdone by six other cities in the state which had already established or were establishing such schools, the work was started in Joliet in September, 1920. From an enrollment of seventeen on the opening day, the continuation school has grown to include the part-time education of almost 600 students. Besides the academic subjects including reading, arithmetic, spell- ing, language, citizenship and geography of which all students are required to take four hours a week, the general commercial sub- jects including shorthand, bookkeeping, type- writing and rapid calculations are also offer- ed to both boys and girls. Specialization is offered to the boys in the industrial subjects; machine shop practice, auto-mechanics, car- pentry, and electrical work, while the girls are offered home economics, courses in sew- iii5| xg; rs- - HIGH SCHOUL, I ' Ji; the Board of whose educat in their oarh population ing. cooking, marketing , serving, or cleaning as tliey desire. At present three buildings near the High School, the May Apartments for commercial and academic work, the Elwood house for economics, and the Hacker building for the shop work have been utilized pending the erection of further additions to the main building either eveninir classes -.imihir in jiurposc to those of the day continuation school, yet broader in practice, are those conducted in the Americanization school, maintained by Education. Giving to those 11 was unfortunately neglected life and ti our foreign born ,ide range of courses including instruction not only in the elementary read- also in the fundamentals of local, state and national government, it has becoine an impor- tant factor in the educational system of the city. Owing to the wide range in the mental development, the previous education and the varying ages of the pupils, i t has been neces- sarj ' to divide them into groups beginning with the primary studies and ranging upward to liistory, geography and government. This, however, does not entirely solve the problem for the teacher, who must deal with scores of distinct personalities from perhaps five or six different countries. The greatest task is to offer besides an understanding of our lang- uage and customs, a welcome to their adopted land, America, and to stress the need of a proper respect due to that country from them. Attendance at this school and diligent ap- plication to the work brings the students a chance more quickly and easily to become real American citizens. Diplomas, issued to those who pass a satisfactory test in civics and English after their second papers have been applied for, will make it unnecessary to take an examination in Civics and E ' nglish in the Court House when the final papers are obtained. Through the first term of this school, the enrollment was increased from 170 to 325 and the attendance throughout was most excellent, considering that many of the men worked ni.ghts on alternate weeks and hence were ing and writing of the English language, but absent almost fifty per cent of the tiine. At the completion of the first year ' s work, nine- teen men were presented with Diplomas , while thirty-nine received Certificates of Ef- ficiency which may be applied in the same manner as Diplomas in securing naturali- zation papers, with the exception that they may be applied only in securing the second papers. For almosl fifl_ years, the jiublic schools in nearly all of the larger cities of the country have maintained regularly organized voca- tional training courses in connection with their ordinary academic courses, but although this has been found to provide very valuable and practical training in the manual or domes- tic arts, it has not been sufficient or extensive enough to allow any student following such a course to enter into any particular trade im- mediately upon graduation. It was felt that there was a greater need for a school offering purely vocational courses and afifording the student a practical prepar- ation in his chosen vocation. As a result such a school was established within our own great institution. Its students are as much a part of the high school as tliose taking the regular academic subjects with the exception that they are specializing in a certain chosen vocation and will spend an avera.ge of three hours a day upon it. Practically all of the following types of shop work are now oflfered: Machine shop, elec- trical shop, atito mechanics, pattern-making, cabinet making, house carpentry, plumbing, sheet metal work, printi ng, and mechanical and architectural drafting; and it is planned with tuture additio.ns to the present extensive Continued on Page 13 Coinmencement Week Wli BACCALAUREATE SERMOX BEFORE THE GRADUATING CLASSES Sunday.

A manual training course in woodworking was perhaps the fore-runner of the whole vocational system of our school. Such a course was introduced in 1910 and met with instant a pproval of the students. It grew rapidly from a very few to alinost four hun- dred students and so far exceeded the capa- city of the equipment that it w-as necessary to incorporate it ,in the new woodworking de- partment of the vocational school, and it has come to include courses in patternmaking, cabinetmaking and carpentry. The plumbing and electrical departments are cooperating with this department in the most practical kind of work possible — the ac- tual erection of a modern home, the installa- tion of its complete plumbing system and finally the electrical wiring from service to fixtures. The mechanical drawing depart- ment, installed in large, well lighted rooms, is also supplied with the practical designing of various kinds of equipment used about the school and in the work of the shops. The machine shops and the automobile de- partment are building the best of foundations for the work of their students by presenting actual problems, which they may later meet, for class solution. The printing department, containing that is said to be the most complete, up-to-date equipment of any public school in this coun- try , has already exhibited its value and abil- ity in the production of our school magazines and in continuing w-ill afford the finest prac- tice to its fortunate students. Thus, from an obscure existence, scarcely fifty years ago, has Joliet Township High School risen to a position among the foremost educational institutions in the courty. From an existence as of a minute speck of propo- plasm it has developed into a complex struc- ture of many organs and many cells and whether the cells be 315 or 301, you might be compared to an insignificant, yet quite neces- sary little speck of protoplasm within its cell world.

Printing was his life work, and he served in that capacity with a number of well known companies; The Journal, St. Thomas, Canada; K. R. Dcmnelly iv Sons, Chicago; Matthews, Xorth- rup of Buffalo, and others. In UU4 he entered the employ of Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, as in- structor of presswork, later becoming head of the printing department. In ad- dition to his duties as an instructor he was editor of the .Artisan, the Dunwoody school paper, a position which he filled with credit. Mr. Robb began his work at Joliet last September, with little ec|uipment and an unfinished building. Thru persistent effort the present print shop has been evolved, a monument to his ability and his effort. Xot among the least of his con- tributions was the service freely gi en to the j staff. Drawing from his rich store of experience as a craftsman and an artist, and impelled by his deep personal interest in the J , he inspired the staff to a vision of new and higher ideals. He was here but a short time, yet his influence was felt thruout the whole school and now remains as an inspiration in our memory. .4. .%,. ; s: | H _B_s 5 El an £ tZ x-? «j A :y Jj! t,, y 1 I?

It ' s such a fresh and original subject (extends paper.) The Shocking Decadence of the Morals of the Younger Generation. The shocking de- cadence of the morals of the younger genera- tion is indeed a source of great concern to those who contemplate it from a sane and ' thoughtful view point with due consideration for the future welfare of our nation. Their manners are abominable. (Enter Jean, her granddaughter, disheveled and dust ' with a pilQ of dresses in her arms, a hat sitting dizz.ily on her head. ' Granddaughter: So thejf are, but now ' ou know j ' ou don ' t believe it. Saj ' , may I use this old junk for the Senior play? And look what I found when I was digging them out. Is this a year book when you went to high school, and what ' s this sloppy looking book? And this diary of yours. It ' s a scream! Just listen to this: Bernice and Roy had a scrap today. Bernice is broken hearted and vows that she can never feel the same again, but she said that four times in the last month and so it will probably be all right by tomorrow. Xow isn ' t that funny! Grandmother: hy, that ' s about LeRoy Wilhelmi and Bernice Lowery. LeRoy was a very popular member of our class. He was class treasurer in the Junior year, and we elected him both semesters when we were seniors. Granddaughter: But oh look here! Oh, it ' s so heavenly to be in love. He has the most marvelous ej ' es, and his smile Grandmother: That ' s enough. Let me have that hook. Granddaughter: (Looking at the year book) Oh, for heaven ' s sake is this scruldiy lookin.g bunch your class when you were Freshies? vSonie dumb looking bunch. Grandmother: Well we may look dumb to you but we were mighty proud of ourselves. There were about 400 of us, and we were an enthusiastic crowd. One of our members in writing the first Freshmen notes for the J — that was our school paper — was so enthused that he indulged in a flight of fancy, and said ■ihat the Freshmen had more ofificers in the R. O. T. C. than any other class. I remember our girls lost in the baseball tournament that year, but we were all terribly proud of the way they played. Granddaughter: Only one baseball tourna- ment in a year? ' A hy, we have one every week until the basket ball season begins. And didn ' t all of vou plav every dav like we do- Grandmother: No, not at that time. When I was in high school girls ' athletics were com- paratively new, and not nearly all the girls participated, but when I was a Freshman we organized a Girls ' Athletic Association which had that in view. A great many of our Fresh- men girls joined and were very lively mem- ers 1 he a ' .S(. nation was a great success. They boosted all kinds of athletics and gave clever parties. One year we had a Green- wich Village Follies and another a Tack and Jill party, and we all dressed in little ' gingham aprons. Our girls were very enthusiastic about basket-ball, and in our Junior year we wori the class tournament. Vhen we were Juniors ye had soccer too. We played Lock- port, which was a small town then and not a suburb, as now. As I recall we won. Granddaughter: J -Board of Control— why this bunch doesn ' t look like it could control anything. Grandmother: That was the group that managed the policy of the J. I remember in our Junior year we had ;. . our representa- tives: Joe Barr, Flizabct!: :...wver, and Billv Block. Granddaughter: C;,- ■■ ! I suppose you thought it would be ea.-y to make a board out of a Block. (jrandmother: Well, it ' s easier to make a board out of a Block than out of a block head. Bill was our first representative in athletics too. He was the only one of our felloAvs that made the football team in our Freshman year. It used to embarrass us giirls dreadfully to watch him play because he always had a hole in his sock. There was a biqr athletic boom during our four years. We 23ers always thought we had a lot to do with it. There were always more of us out to the games than from any other class and our fellows made a good showing in every sport. In our Sophomore year nine of our fellows made the football team and two new coaches came onto the scene, and though we didn ' t have much to do with get- ting them there we always took considerable credit to ourselves for being there at the same time they were, because they certainly helped to wake us up. Granddaughter: This must be one of your illustrious teams. Good heavens, what did they put on their hair? — it must have been mucilage to .get it stuck down so tight. Don ' t they look sweet! Did they take time out in a football game to comb it down slick and when they played basket-ball did they have to wear hairnets? Grandmother: ( )h, patent leather uphols- tery v ' as the st -le, but our team had some- thing besides their hair to think about when they were playing. ' 21, that was our Junior year. Here are Liess, Ashley, Alberg, and De Jarld and Hill, and (Tardwell. },!uschott and Alaxwell.

KIXSOX STUDENT MANAGER ATHLETICS Joliet Higli School lias at last reached its standard. The school and town fully realize now that we can turn out just as good a team as an}- High School in the Big Seven and better. Not alone that we can. but we did, and our team proved it both on field and court by their success. The students and townspeople also showed wonderful support by the number tliat attended games during the football and basketball season. FOOTBALL It is the odor of the pig skin that puts blootl into the young athlete ' s eyes, as he grasps the oval and streaks down a broken field 20 to 30 or 40 yards for the winning touchdown. Not alone that, but there is a certain magnetic power attached to the game that makes any red-blooded athlete love the game. This game of football is one game that only red-blooded athletes should play and not loafers. Previous to last fall ' s football season, the Coach could not say with effect that one of his boys was loafing on the job, for the youth knew he could play regardless of what the coach might have to say, for there were no sidjstitutes 111 take his place. However through the Coach- es ' efTorts and those of the Rotary Clubs, a change was finally brought about. They made the students and townspeople realize their mis- takes and managed to persuade them into be- lieving and feeling that Joliet could have just as good teams as any other school in the Big .Seven. The reward Avas wonderful to be- hold, for the first day of football practice saw 84 candidates in uniform on the field. The . ear before, five players reported the first day. From these eighty-four thirt -five were selected to form the heavy-weight squad; the remainder were left to the light-weight division. Tt was indeed rather pleasing to the ci-aches to be alile to pick their teams from such a lar.ne number of boys. Limlblooni — 24 Toliet--0 Joliet ' s first game, after two weeks of h.ird practice, was played with Lindliloom High School, one of the best high school teams in Chicago. Joliet went into the encounter a bit green and outweighed. Lindbloom ran the score up to 24 to Joliet ' s in the first half, but in the second half Joliet came back and fought the heavy Chicagoans scoreless. Lindbloom won the game 24 to 0. Kankakee — Joliet— 22 - fter another hard workout on the grid, Joliet journeyed to Kankakee for another practice game. Kankakee ' s field was a bit rough and dusty. Sand storms were the indi- cations that another Kankakee man was bein.g downed, or another Joliet man doing the 100 yard dash for another touch down. iBefore the last quarter ended, the third team had been given a chance to perform and also succeeded in hold- ing the Kankakee warriors scoreless. The .game ended with Joliet far in the lead 22 to 0. De Kalb— 16 Joliet— 7 The following Saturday our first game of the Big Seven was played against De Kalb on our field. J.iliet iiiusi have been all ]in|-fcd up over the game at llu- nutty city for they did not show up very good in the first frav and be- fore they knew it De Kalb had 16 points to their credit. However, in the last quarter Joliet got the spirit and pushed over a pointer, but it was too late, the game ended soon after with De Kalb 16 to Joliet ' s 7. This was the li.ght ' s first game. They showed up to he quite clever and speedy though some of the plavers were ver - light. They defeated De Kalb ' s ponies 7-0. The score also indicates the kind of game played. A week later to Rockford Joliet journeyed for the second game of the conference. Rockford seemed to believe in old traditions, tor they had Joliet fi.gured out to be the weakest team in the conference and were all set for a walkawav. Our ponies slipped over a fast one by holding the Rockford team scoreless and besides plaved a brilliant game and Averc for the best of the teams. However, the necessary weight was not there to push over a touchdown. The second game of the day was a complete surprise. The Joliet warriors smashed into the Rockford heavies and slackened not once to the final w-histle. The Joliet ends smashed the running plays centered about Nliltniore. (the fastest man on the team) ever - time, and went down on punts in good shape. Frank Leiss was the main co.g on the left side with his partner Laverne Dejarld quite his equal on the right. Near the end of the first half the Rockfords succeed- ed in edging us over by a narrow margin. How- ever, the fight never left the Gold ' and Blue warriors, for on the kick off of the second halt AJcGinnis caught the ball from quarter back position and with the aid of perfect blocking by his teammates he succeeded in going 9.S yards for a touchdown. Corrie failed to kick the goal which still left Rockford in the lead 7-6. During the rest of the game the ball changed hands many times and on one exchange Jean Lordan, the little halfback, lioutted the oval for 80 yards, one of the best kicks made in hi.gh school in years. The ganu ' ended witli Joliet in possession of the ball on R ' lck ford ' s territory — Rockford the winner. West Aurora — 3i Joliet — fl Heav - West Aurora — Joliet— 2.t Light Then another week of mending up the bruis- ed players and more hard work in preparation for the West High game on Joliet ' s field. Our lights in the first game of the day, romp- ed away with the great margin on the West Boys. They completely outplayed the fast West High in every branch of the game, Jim Lordan running for big gains at will. The second game was ver - different indeed. Besides a wet field and more rain occasionally, the Joliet boj ' S did not hit their studs. Probably the previous Sat- urday ' s game made them a bit confident, any- way they failed to come thru. The game ended with West High ' s well de- cided victorv. 33-0. Freeport— 18 Joliet— 6 Heavy. Freeport —0 Joliet— 7 Lights Now for that Pretzel vs Ca.ge boys game. No time for rest now, was the only answer from the Coach for another week. You play- ed like a bunch of ostriches with your heads in the sand while the battle ra.gcd on. ell, in came the Pretzels and were unload- Page Eii . y tcS ' J - -r ' li !.. i ' . il.li 1 IM M 1 1 i, 1 Row: Left to Kiglit: unJ Row: K.iison.

A few moments at hitting the ihnnmy anil then to hitting the real stulT w.is the heavies ' program. The game wa Joliet ' s several tunes, but ' the Tinx must have been left in for when Joliet had but a yard to go ne;ir the beginning of the game, there caiue a fumble and that seemed lo decide the victory. There had 1)een some changes in the lineup which seemed to Ije ett ' ective, but things seemed to go against the buvs. The game was won on forward passes, loiiet, however, sc .red near the end of the game, but it was loo late; the game was called on account of darkness, with the long end of the score belonging lo the Pretzels, E.

The heavyweight game was a heart-breaker. The teams were even matched and of about the same weight. Joliet time and time ag:im threatened to score, and in the second rpiarter Utter, the lightest heavy weight end in the con- ference, picked up a fumble ount and r;iu over half the length of the field fur Joliet ' s touch- down. The try for point was missed by a few inches. Ever thing now seemed to go our way until but a few minutes to play when a very doubtful foul was called which resulted in Aurora ' s touchdown.

Our lights seem to adopt our heavies ' fancies of letting the score be run up hefiire the - woke up and as a result they lost 1) - a 6 point mar- gin of 13 to 7, But something happened. Our heavies cer- tainlv redeemed themselves. At the beginning of tlie game the heavy Elgin thought of world desires. but alas, that little end. Utter scored again bv receiving a neatly passed ball from Corrie, who also made the try for point. Joliet tackled hard and viciously all through the game, - s the game came to a close, Elgin started to forward pass and succeeded in catch- ing one for a costl- gain, its completion due partly to darkness. However, a few minutes later a short run and dive netted them a irarrow- Iv gained touchdown. They failed the try for point and lost the chance to tie the score. The game ended with Joliet the possessors of 7 and the opponents the 6 this time, . s a celebration of the event, the Jmx was burned at Richards ' field the following Tuesday, It certainly seemed to be a success, for a few davs later the teaiu journeyed to Morris and dridibed the undefeated team of the town by a score of 6-19, and the next Saturday they took on the heavy Danville teaiu and defeated them, the heavvweights ' s first win on the local fioH.

The teams seemed to be about evenLv matclied. lint JoHet tore madly through them time and time again. Tilden once neared Joliet ' s goal and tried for a drop kick and made it from a brief angle. The half ended Joliet ' — Tilden 3.

On the next play Joliet lost the ball. It seemed hopeless, but the Tilden bouter was a bit slow on Joliet ' s fast ends, for one reached the kicker and blocked the kick and recovered the ball but a few yards from the goal. In- juries, however, forced him from the game, but the Joliet team received new life, and pushed over a touchdown and made the try for point.

Tliey held the lead throughout practically the whole game, but because football tactics were not quite forgotten. Joliet fouled again sending Kossert to the free line once more, and the little fellow put it through just as the time keeper ' s whistle went off giving Earlville the game by a 26 to 27 score. JoHet— 16 Coal Citv— 15 Light Joliet— 28 Coal City— 10 Heavy By December 29, Joliet had hit her stride. The heavies gave Coal City a run 46-15, while the Lights made them step to 28 to 10, after the regulars in both teams started the sailing safe. All the lightweight and heavyweight re- serves were given a chance to do their bit in the contest. Joliet— 15 Tdden— 13 Light Joliet — 13 Tilden — 7 Heavy The Tilden cage men. were a little surprised when both our Heavies and Lightweights took the game of December 30 awaj- from them. At the half, the lights were stepping along at fidl speed pointing their score 6 to 12. Later in the game the Tilden forwards tried to hurr. it up a little, but were unable with the peppy little guards the lights have. So once more Joliet Lights copped the big end of the score. Our rangy tossers annexed another winning to their list b a 13-7 score, the whole team going strong as a result of good coaching. Well, Joliet was glad, and Tilden a trifle mad. Joliet— 19 Englewood— 16 Light ' Joliet — 26 Englewood — 16 Heavy Chicago must have had a jinx in their pocket for the Blue and Gold warriors trounced them every time. On January 5, Englewood stepped down for their share of defeat, never dream- ing of it, when it was rumored around they were going strong for the Chicago league championship. But Cramer ' s men showed up. ending the little combat with a 26 to 10 victory although the game was hot for the first three quarters. The lights showed up b. - their grand defense and basket shooting, making the game one long battle all the way through. The gong sounded with a 19-16 victory for our ponies. January 12, the opening of our conference season, w-ith the gloom of making up tests for the quarter, the boys started for the north. Their destination was a cracker box gvm at De Kalb. The lights started the fight at 7:30 o ' clock, but they couldn ' t uplift their handicap, thereby dropping a victory to De Kalb with 21-9 score. Our grand heavies, lost their adaptability for small spaces that night ; toward the end of the game after the score 19-20 in our favor. De Kalli hit a hot streak. We lost the game with a score of 23-20. Joliet — 19 West Aurora— 11 Light Joliet— 24 West Aurora— 23 Heavy Ah, Joliet Fans, will you ever forget the night we all piled over to West . urora by the street car, by the automobile, and w-hat not full Band an ' everything? The Aurorians met our ponies and how they did rant and rage over that floor I ! Why they even tried a whole new team on our little men, but of no avail, for the went home a 19-11 victory. And how Coach Cramer ' s boys did rage around that floor! Why it looked more like a football game than a basketball game. We think Aurora forgot Joliet also shined on the gridiron, and no rough stuff would affect us ! However, the game ended with a 12-21 score : so then they played ten minutes ' overtime, and right snappy it was. Then a nice one was trapped by the sturdy hand of a forward — BANG! went the gun, and our tiger like men pranced oft ' the floor with a 24-23 victory. Johet— 11 Rockford— 28 l.iuht Joliet— 12 Rockford— 34 Heavy The furniture city boys invaded Joliet for the first home conference game. The well seasoned lights from the north copped the first game by a 28-15 score, their center starring six field goals. Don ' t think the Blue and Gold Heavies didn ' t give these boys a run in the first half. For they held them 10-9 in Rockford ' s favor, but the boys could not keep the pace set by the veterans and dropped the game by a 34-12 score ; Gleichman, Kulberg and Behr, veterans of three seasons, did their share of scoring. Joliet— 29 Ottawa— 7 Heavy ( )n January 27. (Ottawa leaders in the Illinois ' alle - Conference, were our ne.xt victims. The valley boys could not get their bearing through- out the game. Joliet was in perfect order. It was a one sided affair in the second half. Then the reserves did their bit. The final score being 29-7 in our favor. Lindbloom — 10 Joliet — 16 Light Lindbloom — 16 Joliet — 21 Heavy From the southern section of Chicago, Lind- bloom. a fast team journeyed down for a twin bill with our tossers. Our lights came out victorious because they led their opponents throughout the game, and because our star guard held Witaskas. rated as one of the fast- est floor men in the Chicago league. Heavies put over a pretty snappy game, be- cause Cramer changed the lineup causing the score to tie 11-11, but wdien it was changed back all went well, causing Joliet to put up another victory. 21 -It). Joliet— 31 Blue Island— 6 Heavy Cramer ' s men then met Blue Island the im- defeated team in the Chicago suburban league. However, the Blue and Gold had an easy time of it from start to finish.

Aurora — 8 Joliet — 24 Heavy Then E. Aurora journeyed over, and we just had to treat them rough. The ponies were in great form, getting a good lead, keeping it, causing the score to end with us owning the big share, 12-24. Then the Heavies pranced on them, Cramer ' s men were not to be stopped, so out-played the visitors to a frazzle. The forwards were assist- ed in basket tossing by one of the guards who h.it his stride that night. E. Aurora went home that night with a 8-24 defeat. W. Aurora— 12 Joliet— 18 Heavy W. . urora -wasn ' t satisfied with their first de- feat by the Blue and Gold. They were sure if they had a return game, they w-ould show us, so again came. Fletchers ' heavyweights had a good game; they gave our five a nice snappy game, but our forwards were strong, and the guards firm, with the result the W.

Pace Eighty-si: SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT The Sectional Tournament took place March 9 and 10, and it was during this tourney that all Joliet realized that a new spell was cast over Joliet people over athletics. Real fight, cour- age, and that never give in spirit predominated from the time our warriors entered the floor, till they came off either in victory or defeat. W. Aurora— 14 Joliet— 17 Heavy Friday afternoon after school, with the gym crowded with enthusiastic support, the Blue and Gold entered against Fletcher ' s crew for the third time of the season. The game was a fast orie, but Joliet could not be downed; she forg- ed on ahead. Her forwards responding to chance. Her guards ever alert, as a result Joliet came out victorious in her first game of the Tourney. Elgin— 12 Joliet— 17 Heavy Our second game called Saturday morning at 9 :30 o ' clock. Some were a little frightened, for the Elgin Cagemen had trimmed us once and what now? Again the gym was jammed, and again the fighting warriors pranced on, with a spirit to do or die. Elgin ' s scoring guard was guarded so close he didn ' t know what struck him. With this, Elgin was lost, and the Blue and Gold w-as going hot and strong, the score at the half being 14-7. In the next half Elgin managed to score 5 points but that was not enough — Joliet was again winner 12-17. Rockford— 15 Joliet— 10 Heavy Over 4,000 people crowded into the gym to watch the semi-fina ls of the state basketball championship. The gym was just one pan- demonium of noise. Joliet ' s w arriors entered that big g;ame Saturday night with an aljsolute will to win. And it showed up for when the quarter gun sounded, Joliet was leading 5-2. She was fighting and holding out against that giant and brutal force. Then costly personal fouls gave Rockford points, but Joliet clung to the lead. The strong guarding of Joliet, again and again broke up the Rockford combinations, when the half gun sounded we were still in the lead 6-4. Joliet tried to keep the ball in the center of the floor, knowing Rockford was a short pass- ing team. When the second half started the terrible pace was telling on our team, and Rockford sensing victory was ready to strike the fatal blow. .Another basket loliet in lead 8-4. Then came a series of heart breaking events. Foul on a guard, and then another foul. Joliet leading b.v only one point. Then a basket for Rockford, they held the lead for the first time after nearly three-quarters of play. Score 9-8. Long shots were tried by our forwards but missed. Then the Rockford players fought down the floor. Joliet ' s smaller players were exhausted. In the last few minutes of play the giants of Rockford won their game. Score 15-10.

For two years we knew him only as a rather retiring, brainy chap, leading the honor roll, and outstanding only in his classes where keenness of percep- tion and efficient use of an extraordinary na- tive intelligence marked him as one of those who excel in the group. Coming out for basket ball in his Junior year, his steady, deter- mined efforts soon won him a place on the reserve squad. A wonderfully retentive mem- ory and constant alertness made him an apt candidate, and by the end of the season he had done his share in the goodly number of games. In baseball, previous experience made his showing more lirilliant. It was immedi- ately evident that he had a good arm, and throughout the season his pitching was of high order as was his work in other depart- • ments of the game also. The opening of the football season found him with an established reputation as an athlete but no experience in that sport. The same determination and keenness that so early won for him a place on the basket squatl, placed him in a wing position where the speed and drive and bril- liancy of his playing caused fans and critics to acclaim him as one of the best ends that ever represented the blue and gold. His second season at basketball showed him to be a guard whose superior it would be hard to find ' in high school circles; and it will take many years to erase from the memory of Toliet fans some of the thrills he furnished for them. In ihe absence of baseball this spring lie went out for track. It is probably sufficient indication of his ability in this sport to state that in his first meet he bettered the conference record for the javelin throw by thir- teen feet and one inch besides showing up well in other events. Aside from the record of the participation in athletics the list of his activities is longer than that of the average student. He has consistently maintained a place on the honor roll for four years, and has an average of eighty-five for this year. He is president of the Senior class and of the Blue and Gold Clul . a member of Ihe Boys ' Chorus and the ITigh School Glee Club for which he last year III. ..4 V I V RAY RAFTZR Ray Rafter, Joliet ' s lightweight honor ath- lete is one of those men whose excellent per- formances in all lines are accomplished with such quiet efficiency and modesty that they are not always fully appreciated. His en- trance into high school athletics occurred last year when he reported for track. He early showed promise of greater things. In the fall he came out for football where his fight and determination soon made him, in the phraseology of one of his team mates, one of the most dangerous ends playing confer- ence football. Always playing a steady, con- sistent fighting game rather than one of oc- casional and publicity-attracting flashes, he was one of the most important members of the team. Because of this very consistency it is probable that the student body as a whole did not give him the praise and esteem due him; but it is apparent that his fine ability was appreciated by the men who teamed with him for they have elected him captain for next year. The leadership of a man of Raf- ter ' s character and fighting spirit materially adds to the prospects for next season. His playing on the lightweight basket ball team was of high order and of much the same character as his work in football. He was ever a man on whom coaches and rooters de- pended to meet and conquer every changing demand of the game. Again he did not re- ceive all the honor that should have been ac- corded, for his never wavering spirit and high standards of play cannot be praised too highly. In track his showing is splendid, his time m the 440 sprints proving him one of the best men over that distance in the conference. His dependable loyalty is manifest not only on field and court but in class room and in friendship as well. He has been on the honor roll his entire three years; and he is at pres- ent a member of the Student Teacher Coun- cil. He coached the Freshman basket squad and is always a loyal supporter of school en- terprise. He is of course a member of the Blue and Gold Club and was a sponsor for visiting teams during the tournament of this year. He has maintained an average of eighty-six and a fraction for this year ' s work. Only ' in his junior year he has probably not reached the Zenith of his ability as athlete or leader, and Joliet High is fortunate in having him among her returning students. His un- assuming attitude, his good sportsmanship and fine co-operation, his loyalty as friend and teammate and his determination and fighting spirit make him a most worthy re- cipient of the name of honor athlete and a man whom we are proud to claim as a fellow student.

A suimuary of our activities and good times would l)e merely a song of praise and glory for our illustrious organization. Earh ' last fall about seventy aspiring hocke ' and soccer players reported for practice; but owing to the fact that it was impossible to get permission to use the Richards Street Field all their dreams of prowess vanished, and their air castles w ere shattered to the ground. Basket ball practice began with ihe opening of the new semester in January. One hundred twenty-five .girls turned out to do honors for their classes. Girls ' Basket Ball tournaments have always been successful in J. T. H. S.. but no tourna- ment has et been staged which could hold a candle to the 1923 tournament. The Juniors, true to tradition, copped the honors of iirst place by eliminating the Seniors in a one-sided .game, the score of which was 33-15. and then disposing of the Sophomores by a count of 16-14. The Seniors endeavored to ' lface their in- jured dignity by trampling on the toes of the innocent Freshmen. This score was 32-S. Af- ter this game the Seniors felt enou.gh confidence in themselves to warrant the risk of challeng- ing the Sophomores for second place, as the score of the Freshmen game was onl. - 25-11 in favor of the Sophomores. However, the under- classmen didn ' t see fit to accept the above chal- lenge and therefore, there is still a difference of opinion concerning second place. The baseball recruits, one himdred forty in all, are doing fine and the annual class base- ball ccutest is scheduled for the later part of Slay or the first of June. Our tennis tourney is also due, aiul will be staged as soon as our courts have been thor- oughly overhauled and repaired. Besides these athletic affairs we had a great many social successes. On November 26 of last fall we had a party to welcome in the new Freshmen. It was held in the Girls ' Gym and as popcorn balls and taffy apples were served we were all very sticky, as well as hap- py when we departed for our respective abodes. December 12 was the date of our annual Mother and Daughter Tea. It was at this en- joyable affair that we chose our Sponsors. Thev are as follows : Mrs. .Sawvcr, Mrs. Barr, Mrs. Carter, Airs. Hill, and Mrs. Weeks. The first party given in 1923 was arranged by the Sophomores. The Sophomores saw to it that we had a good time. And then our BIG PARTY was announced for .- pril 6. True to traditirn this part - -vvas one of the biggest events of the school -ear. iont- wants i e would 1 Girls ' .Vthleli nder . li How everyone locked forward to that party! As usual the G. A. A. Dance was some thing different. It was a Jack and Jill al ' fair. We had a record crowd, ' rhe girls all looked exceptionally pretty in sunbonnets and aprons, while the boys looked rather foolish and coun- trified in their overalls and slr.iw- bats. The programs looked like i oil pails. Imt wni- really paper. The frapjie was scived in tm cups by the original Jacks and Jills, . nini.il crackers and lolly-peps were iiuicii in e idenee throu.ghout the evening. We don ' t wonder that to G. A. A. parties.

The conference was for the purpose of elect- ing officers for the League. Mary Barr, Joliet, was elected president. The Vice President is Miss Pauline Knapp of DeKall), The Secre- tary-Treasurer is Miss Elizabeth Waterman. Supt. Smith was unanimously elected on the Board of .Advisers, while Mrs. Richard J. Barr is the other adviser from Joliet. Right now the matter of greatest iinimrtance is the G. A. A. Camp. Everyone is talking ni it and hoping for a chance to go. The Illinois League of High School Girls ' Athletic Association had their camp last year at the Bowen Country Club, which is aliout three miles from Waukegan, and a mile and a half from the lake. There are two pretty cottages, which are used for dormatories, and one large dining hall. There is also another hall for plays, or parties and dancing. About fifty yards froiu the cottage there is a large artificial sw ' imming pool. The grounds are covered with beautiful gardens, and woodlands in a deep ravine. And did we have fun at campr Well, we sure did! There w-ere groups of girls from several different schools, and each school gave a stunt. One gave a masquerade, another a play which was loads of fun. Then a wienie roast on the beach was given ; but when Joliet girls gave their stunt they surprised them and gave a ride on the lake in a motor boat. Every day there were long hikes, swimmin.g, baseball and everything an athletic girl en- joys. We even took a trip to Zion City! Then on the sly there were candy pulls, fudge parties, and pillow fights galore. The camp will be at the same place this year, and if you are a G. A.

They won all hut tine game that year. Granddaughter: (Laughing) Round as a ring that ha.s no end; such is my love for you my friend. What a loving and original seuli- nient. In your long chain of friendship re- gard me as a link. How noole! A chain i- as strong as its weakest link. Oh, I could write a poem about that — golf links, cuff links, winks, thai rhymes; sinks, thinks, blink , kinks. Ah — In your chain of friendship links, think of me as one of the kinks — let ' s see what else rhymes: ininx, ginks, jinx. Grandmother: Jinx, that reminds me of the hilarious time we had burning ours! Granddaughter: A hunch of .ginks, they burned their jinx. Grandmother: We certainl - liurned it. ll was almost uncanny. We had lost every game of the season but a couple b ' only one point. The team was practically all seniors, and we felt so badly about it because we wanted them to have a winning season the last year they could play. Then our luck changed, and we won a game. When the fellows came home we had an assembly, and that night we had a parade and a big bonfire down at the field and burned our duminyfied bad luck. From that time on you couldn ' t stop us. Granddaughter: What ' s this ' Helen ' s curl! Were j ' ou in the habit of choppin.g oflr each other ' s hair? Grandmother: That ' s Helen Gallinger ' s, She was Battalion Sponsor in our last ye;ir. In fact, the girls from our class were most popular with the R. O. T. C. In our Senior year Avace Treharne, Bernice Lowerv. and Helen Gallinger were sponsors, and in our Junior year they chose Mary Benson, Lois Rlatt and Margaret Kallman. Betty Sawyer was honored as a Sophomore. Granddaughter: Vhat was this R. O. T. C? The Royal Order of Timid Cadets? Grandmother: The only time they were tim- id was when they were .getting dates for their annual dance. It really meant Reserve Offi- cers Training Corps, and was a branch of the regular army. Ours was the first class to complete the four years of training, and we boasted more officers than any other class in school. Granddaughter: Are these favors from your parties? Grandmother: Yes. we always had one or two nice parties each ye;ir. These are from our Sophomore party. That was our first big social event, and we were all excited over our dates and new dresses. We had a .gorgeous Junior party at Christmas, and our Junior Senior from was a great success. It was the last party we had in the old Richards St. gym and it was a gay affair, for the w-hole gym was a fairy garden of red and •hite poppies. In the new gym we never had decorations, but the Seniors managed to have a jolly time without them. Granddaughter: The .Adoration. What was that? Grandmother: That was the Christmas cantata that was given by the High School Chorus. Two of our seniors, Willard Gray- hack and George Perkins warbled like night- ingales in the solo parts, and there were a great many of us in the chorus. Granddaughter: It nuist li.uc been delicht- ful to belong to an organization where iiu could learn to sing your own praises Grandmother: Oh ye . indeed ' And be- sides that, there were a number of -.i nior members in the band leaiuing to toot their own horns. .And there were others in the Orchestra who always furnished a fitting ac- companiment for our little songs. Granddaughter: Why, here ' s an autograph in French signed lary Weeks. Grandmother: Yes, we had a thriving French Club, and Mary wa president in our Senior year. In fact all tlie officers were Seniors. Frances Forbes was an efficient sec- retary, and Lois Alae Blatt gracefully served as vice president. Granddaughter: WJiat ' s this ' Roses are red. violets aro blue, my hair ' s red and your; il too! ( irandmolher : I remember Carl Brann wrote that in there. He was vice president the first semester of our Senior year. Our Senior officers were noted for their brilliancy of both the inside and outside of their cran- iunis. for that same semester our treasurer was Jean Lordon whose hair was almost as vio- lent as Carl ' s. Loretta Metheny, our secre- tar -. while not endowed with such brilliant exterior decoration made up for it by interior brilliancy. In the second semester we still had Jean to light our path, this time as vice president. The .girls were represented by Edna Schmelzer as secretary, and Harold Shingler was treasurer. (iranddau.ghtcr : Didn ' t you have a presi- dent . ' GrandmoMier : Goodness. es. That was LeRiiy Wilhelmi. He was a star in every- thing. He was not only our president but the president of the Blue and Gold Club as well. (irauddaughler : Why. what was that? Grandmolher: The Blue and Gold Club ' ' That was a club for the fellows who had wo-i their letter. They tried to promote .good sportsmanship in every direction and had a great deal to do with giving our school a good reputation athletically. Certain members were responsible for visitin.g teams during those marvelous basketball tournaments of our last year. Oh, those unfor.gettable tournaments! 1 thrill to the thought yet. Here ' s a picture of that matchless team. How we adored them! Granddaughter; Why. this fellow looks just like LeRov Mason our star guard.

' Wh - Jean, now that I think of it your LeRoy is none other than our LeRoy ' s grandson. Granddaughter; Oh. how thrilling! To think that LeRoy Mason ' s grandfather played basketball! Was he any good? Grandmother: They said he was one of the best guards that ever wore the Blue and Gold. But no man was the star of that team; it was a team of stars. After only a inoder- ately successful season the tournaments crowned it w ' ith a triumph greater than all. The district tournament was an easy win, but the sectional — we expected to win the first game and we did with a hard tussle.

C. has been a big success and has help- ed them to be better fellows. Many of them will enter colleges and continue the good work. The object of the military training has been to develop the fellows physically, and make them wide awake and active. It has helped them to be neat in dress and has taught tliem militar courtesy. It has taught them the basic prin- ciples of warfare and has placed them in a position in which in case of an emergency, they could, in a very short time, be put in con- dition to be of valuable service to their countrw We regret very much the loss of Col. Lovell and Sergt. Kirk. Col. Lovell had only one idea in his mind at all times when he was with the fellows. Everything he could do was for the betterment of the corps. Sergt. Kirk was a friend of all the fellows. By being friendly with them he got them to work hard for him in his classes and they liked it. The R. O. T. C. went to work aboiit a week af- ter school started in September. After a eouule of weeks of hustling up and getting into condi- tion, honorary reviews were given for the dii¥er- ent civic organizations of the city in appreciation of the many things they have done for the R.

BAND The Band The Band has taken part in many of the school activities, such as football, basketball, and the May festival which was held this year for the first time. The May festival proved a great success musically. In September many new Freshmen came into the band; they were soon whipped into shape by Mr. McAllister and Mr. Gierich, to take the places of last year ' s graduates. The band accompanied the football team to most of their out-of-town games, and played at all the home games. In basketball the Band, as usual, played an important part, helping the team to win some of their games. They also turned out a team of their own which was entered in the R. O. T. C. tournament. Although the Band was beaten in the tournament by C Company they came back at them beating them twice after that. The officers of the Band are: Ellis Schofield, President; Paul Barniville, Secretary; Lester Jagar, Treasurer. The R. O. T. C. officers of the Band are: Paul Barniville, Captain; Ellis Schofield, 1st Lieutenant; Edward Grinton, 1st Lieutenant; Ivenneth Conlisk, 2nd Lieutenant; Lester Jager, 2nd Lieutenant; Bob Brumund, 1st Ser- geant; Bcrnice Lowery, Sponsor. The Band; intends to cop the cup again for the best drilled company, as they did last year. Captain Barniville will have charge of the whole company.

There is to be a National Band Contest in Chicago, June 4th to 7th which is the busy Com- mencement week. There are three classes of bands: grade school, high school, and Military banas. J. T. H. S. expects to enter in the High School and Military classes in which the concert and march formations will be the things judged. The Band is going to St. Louis on June 18 at 11:30 A. M. with the Rotary club at their convention held there. It is also going to Camp Roosevelt this summer for the third season about the last of August. The glorious J. T. H. S. band is an element in the High School not to be forgotten by the Seniors who are now leaving the school. It has offered many enjoyments; and for the boys who are leaving to have started their high school career with the Springfield trip and to have ended up with a St. Louis trip with many happy trips in between not forgetting the wonderful Atlantic City trip is certainly a most happy high school experience. The members have broken many windows and they have been in many fights, but they have always managed to come out alive and victorious. Good night.

The Unit meets every Tuesday for theory and practice of riflery. (Jur instructor is Mr. H. D. Grose, of the Physiography department. He is also State Supervisor of the Winchester JmiidC Rifle Corps for Illinois. He is very suc- cesslnl in coaching our new members, for we lia e seen these things lia|ipen on our range recently-: Linna Testin won her Pro-Marks- man medal in three range periods; Betty Hodg- son shoot sharpshooter scored on her seventh target; and Margaret Palmer make a perfect target, a 95% score, and a place on the high- five of our match team, the fourth time she shot with us. All the other new .girls have learned in one or two lessons how to handle the rifle well, and how to make good groups on their targets. Our Unit has had great times since we have been shooting on the new J. T. H. S — R. O. T.y . range, but we miss the good su ' oers we used to cook last semester over the ,gas stove at Joliet Rifle Club. Another thing that we have done this ear is to select a uniform for the Unit. We wore this for the first time on a hike earh ' in Ma -. ( )ur merr ' gioup of nineteen girls left Joliet at 7:00 A. M., and walked si.x miles down the old tow-path to Rock Run. We all wore pack carriers on our 1 acks, with cook- ing outfits and rations for two meals. It was a wonderful day, and we had a wonderful time, cooking our meals and hunting for flowers. In the afternoon we had water fights and other games: and used up dozens of films snapping the funn - groups that we made — and some w didn ' t make. After cooking supper, we hiked baek to Joliet, arriving tired, but sure that Un ' t 667 will continue next semester with more nep t ' n ever. By Supervisor Marian .Ahlberg =Ci: ?§, 5:i| RIFLE CORPS, UNIT 765 HIT WHERE YOU AIM! You would naturally expect an organization like the Rifle Corps to be str iking and stun- ning and to the point — and so it is. We h?ar reports from them every week. A simple proof of Unit 76S ' s being a useful, energetic and general asset is that it was organized away back in 1920, and it takes a fairly worthwhile activity to weather three years in high school and not be swamped by the newer things which are being introduced. Unit 765 owes its success to a good many things, or if you ' d rather, many good things : a good range, good rifles, good bullets, and mainly good instructors. Mr. Grose for several years has been the capable and helping hand which guided this unit, but in the fall of 1922 he passed the position of director over to Mr. R. N. Magor, who has followed well the pre- cedent of encouragement and enthusiasm es- tablished by Mr. Grose. Being a Rifle Unit we should have aims, and consequen tly we have. They arc : to hit the . Bull every time and to have a good time all the time. When school began in September 1922, nearly half of the members of Unit 765 had graduated in June, and the unit was left with a member- ship of five. However, with the addition of some new members our total mounted to nine, while in the spring of 1923 four more members entered. Our entire enrollment was thirteen which proved a vcrjr lucky number, as we won the majority- of the matches which we shot. In January the ancient mariners, or rather the ancient marksmen, gave an initiation party for the new members, at the rifle range on Cass Street. True to custom the unit had a noisy and wonderfully good time; and after the eats and stunts, the unit went skating on Richards Street Pond. That was about the last session held in that range for the one in high school was com- pleted, and we moved our headquarters there. In April, the members, most of whom had won their Promarksman and Marksman medals and were shooting for their Sharpshooter, enter- tained the older members at a delightfully child- ish Children ' s Party held at Mr. Beecher Petersen ' s home. No doubt, if one of the doomed targets were to give its opinion on Rifle Corps in general it would be something like this : I am faced by a determined, invincible rifle — I know that I shall soon never feel the same again — that I shall be — ah — perforated. The action is closed, the hammer set, the barrel leveled at me, the sight exactly at my A Bull. The trigger moves — ouch I right through my middle — and another, and another I all in my A Bull. I ' ll be a beautiful target. I ' ll be a lasting symbol of what W. J. R. C. stands for — each one of these five bullets stands for a principle. (Excuse me if I ' m didactic, but I ' m a fine target). They stand for concentration, ability, patience, persevance, and good sports- manship.

Page One Hundred Tin Page One Hundred Fo ms ' A J-Hi In November 1921, under the inspiration and helpful guidance of Miss Denning, the Junior and Senior girls banded themselves into a gir ls ' club, such as many high schools have and took unto themselves the name of J-Hi Stars. The first few weeks made it absolutely certain that they couldn ' t be eclipsed. After a most successful year in 1921-22, in September 1922 they again rose on the horizon, this time with those who had been the Junior members ad- vanced to the dignity of stars of the first magni- tude seniors, and the former Sophomores, now Juniors, coming in such numbers that they formed a veritable Milky Way, Some of the seniors who had not belonged in their Junior year felt they, too, wanted to shine and joined. These bright young women further proved their brilliancy by choosing for the officers the fol- lowing : ELIZABETH SAWYER PRESIDENT MARY BENSON VICE PRESIDENT LOIS BLATT SECRETARY GERTRUDE FLINT TREASURER Jenny Westling and Lucy Booth were put in charge of the program committees, Grace An- derson of the music committee; and Mary Wrecks of the Christmas welfare work. This last committee is at the head of one of the most important of J-Hi Star activities and fulfills one half of our reason for existence — to help others. The girls are assigned to various committees numbering about fifteen niendiers each. Each committee is then given the name of some needy family. The girls eacli make a small contribution either of food, monev, cloth- mg, or to s Baskets arc. then hllid md lh girls feel more enjovment m then i n C hi i--t mas festivities, knowing that tin h im mip plied holi(la elieti tor sonu oiu tii uhnm il would not otluiwi ' .e havt toiii ' 1 he i.,iils ilso St ars Nell Red Cross seals at Christmas and thus once more live up to their purpose. The other half of our purpose is to promote comradeship among the .girls. As this does not mean between Junior and Senior girls only, Freshman sponsors were appointed. Various girls volunteered for this work, and from the many who did so the sponsors were cliosen. Each sponsor was given charge of four BI Freshman girls. The sponsors act as a kind of big sister to these girls who are not yet fully accustomed to the school and its traditions, and endeavor to smooth out some of the bumps on the BI ' s path along the Road of Knowledge. A get acquainted party was held for the sponsors and their charges at the beginning of the semester. Several after school parties for the club members were held also. The second semester got in to full swing with no sign of any dimming on the part of the J-Hi Stars. During this semester they met every second Tuesday and undertook several new projects. Among these was the publishing of a pamphlet on etiquette designed to meet the needs of a high school girl. Their biggest social event was also undertaken during this semester. This took the form of a dinner dance, for which the date was April 2S. Tables were arranged representing the months of the year, and the group at each table |ilaced in charge of a teacher. Decorations were carried out in keeping with the months and each table con- tributed a stunt. The various activities of the second semester were carried out under the able generalship of our elficient officers who were elected in F ' eliruarv Thcv were : 1 Ols HODGSON M WN lihX ON LOLS BL Ti GI R PRUDE 1 LIM PRESIDENT ICl PRESIDENT SECRETARY 1 Kr,.

Good eats, a snappy speaker, an ar,L;innent or two, then home. Such is the program that is looked forward to by sixty-five boys from High School and Junior College, every Tuesday at six sharp. Sixty-five live fellows are spreading throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and are ever keeping before them the thought of clean speech, clean living, clean athletics, and clean scholarship. During the first semester of ' 22- ' Z3. a small group of boys was inspired, somehow or anoth- er, with the idea of a Y. M. C. A. This group, the remnants of the Older Bovs ' Conference of ' 22, met every two weeks at Snapp ' s or David- son ' s, under the able direction of Brooks Steen and Mr. Kirby, with the idea of getting repre- sentative boys from each class in school. In a few months, the membership grew to such pro- portions, that an appeal was made to different churches for a place to meet.

Prominent business men of Joliet seemed glad to talk to the club about the trials of a busi- ness life and what makes up a successful man. April tenth the club gave the school a real treat, by securing Dad Eliot to speak at an assembly on the subject of Quitters. By this talk, the club was advertised to the whole school, which in turn increased the member- ship list. The big pow wow of the season was held in the form of a banquet, given at the Ottawa Street M. E. Church. Of course the girls had to be invited, but it did not hurt anyone to lis- ten to Professor Boornian, who gave the ad- dress of the evening. The new officers, Dick Jones as President. Ray Leimbacher as Vice President, and Fayette Shaw as Secretary- Treasurer, were introduced to the club and given advice by retiring officers. This being the last meeting for the sunnner, the club dis- banded until its next meeting in September, at which time the power to rule will be given the new officers. SOLID { ?)

Stafford, captain of North Star Troop, leaves J. T. H. S. next year to attend Columbia University ' . We owe more to Miss Stafford than we can ever express. In March 1922 eleven girls, previously Camp Fire Girls, started a troop of Girl Scouts with Miss Stafford as their captain. It is largely due to her courage and foresight that there are now eleven troops, sponsored by the Woman ' s Club, the Steel Works Club and various churches, and a full fledged Senior Council composed of prominent women of Jol- iet. Aifiss Stafford lias been at all times a splendid leader, a loyal captain, and our own dear Awayoli. We wish her every success in her work and hope that she will see her wav clear to go on with Scout work aga-n some time. Aliss Pha Ruggles of j. T. H.

With these two pushing or pulling, as circumstances demanded, we put through more than a few things. Early this fall new yell leaders were ap- pointed with Melvin Williams as head leader or in other words head yeller. Instead of hot dog sales, they earned nione ' by a new, unheard of method — they started and worked successfully a check room, thus helping the public, as well as themselves. Another of their projects is this new bulletin board system which seemingly, so far although not very much used, shows great promise. This semester little has been done because (jf interrupted meeting, but w-e have several amazing schemes under consideration and hope thev also will be successful. THE BIOLOGY CLUB. The Biology Club has always had a pur- pose. Its chief purpose is to emphasize, in detail, certain facts concerning plants and animals. There is also a certain amount of credit given those who attend the meetings of the club. The Biology Club is governed by a Senate which is chosen from those ob- taining the highest grade in their biology work. This Senate convenes and transacts all the business concerning the club. Each semester, a committee of three, all members of the Senate, is elected by the Senate. This conimittee chooses the officers of the Biology Club. The officers chosen by this commit- tee are: FIRST SEMESTER: William Green, President; Helen Touzalin, icc President; Francis Cox, Secretary; Mar- garet Carter, Treasurer. SECOND SEMESTER: I ' aiil Stewart, President; Margaret Leach, ' ice I ' resident; Lucile Keniston, Secretary; . lbert Hagmeyer, Treasurer. Some of the lectures given b ' students, and I)ertaining to plants, were, Alfalfa, Manila Hemp, Bacteria and the Spoiling of Food, The Joliet Water Supply, Diphtheria, Smallpox, Tuberculosis, Indigo, Ro- quefort and Chcddan Cheese, Health Offi- cers and their Duties, and Care and Im- provement of Farm Woods. There were lectures on Charles Darwin, and Louis Pasteur by students also. Those lectures concerning animals were: Life in the Sea, Bird Migration, Sharks, and Bedbugs. An effort is made to have some lecture given by others than students, at each meet- ing. The following are some of these lec- tures: The Honey Bee by Dr. Copley; L se of Plant Evidence in Solution of Prac- tical Problems by Henry C. Cowles, Pro- fessor of Plant Ecology at the University of Chicago; Plant By Products by Miss ' War- ning; Bird Migration and Conservation by- Orpheus Schantz, President of Illinois Audo- bon Society; Insects by Mr. . ' somes, a new member of the faculty. Enthusiasm for the Biology Club is in- creasing as is the attendance at the meetings. We hope the enthusiasm and attendance will continue to increase, and more people than biology students and teachers will become in- terested. — Lucille Keniston.

So these six heads thought and thought, though }iot in vain, for Mr. Hiram Converse, a talented musician and instructor in Joliet. consented to meet with them once a week for one hour. This, folks happened in 191o. This was the beginning of the J. T. H. S. Orchestra. For ten years this organization under direc- tion of Hiram Converse, has steadily progress- ed. From year to year more and more students have been added to the original number, until now it consists of forty pieces. During the past, the orchestra has given many concerts, and has made friends — yes, friends and friends, and then some more including those in the out- lying towns. Every year, it has lent its kindly support at Commencement. On the night of a Senior or Junior College Play, the J. H. S. Orchestra could l)e seen down in front. People were ushered down the aisles to the tune of a peppy march. They listened to interesting overtures between acts. Strains of music fol- lowed them out of the auditoriiim, even as a host follows his guest to the door and liids him come a.gain. So the Orchestra has done its best to represent so hue an institution as Joliet High School. The Calendar of livents for the past year show that : The opening concert of the year was given iri Elwood. Saturday. November 4, 1922. A good time was had by all — including the audience. November 8, 1922, the orch accepted an in- vitation extended by the Biology Club, and played a few numbers at the beginning of the program, — much to the pleasure of all con- cerned. cone tor food Machines, half-a-dozen or more carr ing iolins, racks, orchestration numbers, the in- struments, and the nuisicians themselves drove to Cbannahon, November 1(1. l ' )22.

Really it would take a whole book to write all aliout this fine ( )rchestra to do it justice; but since only one page has been reserved in the 1923 Year Book, this is the best we can bo. With the increase in number of students, and the splendid additions to present building that are being contemplated, we hope for a great increase in members of the Orchestra. With the new auditorium seating everyone in the en- tire school, the splendid stage, perhaps, well perhaps the J. H. S. will give a concert, and the assisting soloist will be Fritz Kreisler. What possibilities the future holds ' . cake ! niera. but Page Oiie Hundred Twelv fi Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus has, from the early fall, numbered about 100 voices. The aims of this organization have been (1) to study the best choral works of master composers and (2) to present to the public these works in a musi- cianly manner. It has been a source of en- joyment for all concerned. Although irksome at times the pride in the finished program has aiwaj-s offset any mcPiory of tedious rehearsals. A fine spirit of loyalty has pervaded the chorus. The director has never felt the need of checkin.a attendance at recitals because of the fact that the few absences were accotintcd for before or after the performance. This aione. should speak well for the attitude of the organization toward its work. rive major appearances of the chorus in the year have given an impetus to do some very hard work. A Christmas program was given I ecember 10: an Easter program March 18. They appeared in several numbers in the Music B ' estival May 5. and will make two ap- pearances commencement week. The chorus has built a fair sized repertoire for the year. Two cantatas and many other lesser octavo numbers of sacred and secular character, all of which have been presented in program, make a rc-pectable showing for this or.ganization. Girls ' Chorus The Girls ' Chorus has ,grown to include eighty-five voices this year and from this group were chosen ten girls calling themselves a Treble-Choir. They have done a few things worthy of mention so far and they hope ne.xt year to put on a cantata for the V)enefit or those interested in music. The tenth of De- cember they sang a group of songs accom- panied and unaccompanied at the Episcopal bazaar, assisted the J-Hi Staff in the assembly in April by representing the music depart- ment. Then on the 26th of . pril they gave a Ijrogram at the women ' s prison followed- up by one similar in Elwood at the Presbyterian church. They also came in for their share in the program of the May festival, each chorus giving two numbers. They have at their com- mand a repertoire of at least twenty beautiful songs. During commencement exercises they ap- peared on Baccalaureate program singing The Sanctus by Charles Gounod as a re- sponse to the Invocation. Page One Hundred TIk ' ' ' h ' ■MdM i - Boys ' Glee Club The Boys ' Glee Club came togther again this year, ready for work and organized under the following officers : PRESIDENT GEORGE PERKINS SI-.C. TREAS WILLIAM KERN ANNOUNCER ANTON OLIVO LIBRARIAN GE( )RGE DWVER BUSINESS MANAGER. CLARENCE KLETT The first thing they did was to help out in the cast of the Mikado , a comic opera given by the Junior College. After having had the sensation of singing in an opera, the hoys de- cided they would like to give one of their own, but, on account of so many school activities, plays, concerts, etc., which were coming, they decided to wait until next fall, when they will give Captain Van Der Hum, a comic opera for male voices. Their ne.xt appearance was in Colonial Hall w liere they sang at a liazaar given by the ladies of Christ Episcopal Church. After singing they spent the rest of the evening dancing, and everyone had a fine time. They appeared with the m ' xed chorus at the Christmas and Easter programs, and gave two selections from Captain Van Der Hum as their part on the Music Festival program. They also gave a selection at the Farmer ' s Institute, where they were well received. Their final appearance was at a luncheon given by the Rotary Club. They were served with a very delightful lunch, after which they gave several selections which were appreciated by the members in attendance. It has been a very successful year for the Boys ' Glee Club, and we hope that next year ' s members will come back with the same vim and vigor as was shown this year. George Perkins, ' 23.

There are two very distinctive divisiiiis ni radio enthusiasts; first there is the broad- cast listener or more conmioul - called a B. C. L. The highest ambition of this group is to pick up the sweet strains of a southern melody jazz orchestra, or to listen to some insurance agent iniloading to his invisible audience ; or they are probably congregated to discuss the setting of their deals for different stations, or maybe they are setting the distance that can be received on a cat whisker and a piece of galena. Then there are some B. C. L ' s. that thought a car- rier w-ave was a bearing that needed a drop of oil; and such go to make up tliat group. Second comes the true American ham. This group mmibers about thirty thousand in the United States today. It was this groiui that supplied Uncle Sam ' s army and navy with ex- perienced operators during the di ' rk daxs ■ i ' 17. It was this group being lield down to two hundred meters, that developed C. W. tr.ins- mission on two hundred meters to an efficiency that greatly outclasses most commercial trai.s- niitters in use toda. ' . In 1021 the amateur saw that the U. S. was getting too small to test the DX of his trans- mitter; so they sent a committee to Scotland to listen for them, and at that time about thirty stations were logged. The next year 1922-23 during a period of fif- teen days there were more than three hundred American stations heard in Europe, and today they are pushing traffic regularly across to England. The next reports will have to come from Mars or elsewhere because they are be- ing heard in China. Australia, and New Zealand regularly. The members ri the club arc as follows: Hammon, G. B., Pres.

P,ige One Hundred Se ME.M( )RIAL SPEECH Madam Chairman, Dr. Smith, Memliers uf the Senior Class, and Friends : From time immemorial it has been the desire of man to perpetuate his memory among those who should follow him. But tliis desire to per- petuate one ' s memory did not die with the past, hut is with us today. The ancient Egyptian Kin. s had armies of slaves build great pyramids for their tombs, but they are not now thousfht of as tombs but as memorials. A certain doctor in Michigan had sculptured a life size statue of himself reposing in a chair. His dying wish was to ha e this statue placed over his grave, and today it stands in one of the most prominent places in the cemetery. So down through the a.ges this custom has come. It is now time that we. the class of 1923. present our memorial, that, though our class may be gone it will not he forgotten. The committee charged with the honorable duty of executing tlie it the class has selected as a inemorial a painting. Xow what shall this niennirial which we this day present to our school mean to those wlm follow us? We do not wish you merely to stand before this memorial and look upon it as a pic- ture. We want everyone of you whether .graduate or undergraduate to be inspired, as you look upon it. witli the spirit that carried us throu.gh our four years of scholarship — the spirit of doing our work to the best of our ability. The duty has been assigned to me. Dr. Smith. of transferrin,g this picture to your charge as guardian of cmr memorial to this school : for here more than elsewliere is the scene of our social and scholastic ha]ipiness. Here we formed many of our friendshijis and likewise our char- acters. . ' Ks the re|jresentative of the subscriliers to this, picture 1 now formally deliver it. Dr. Smith, to you. From this moment it is no longer the prop- erty of our class. It becomes a sacred trust held liy you for all the future students of this school. Here let it hang not only to perpetuate our reverence for our illustrious school, hut to keep alive the principles that inspired all our career as students in this school.

He finds it vcr ' hard to admit his own olivious faults. Eyman. Roliert — Xovemher 30 He thinks quickly, acts swiftly, and is cau- tious, courageous, and self-reliant. He is unreasonably irritated at unfinished tasks, and is not satisfied to succeed, but must carry his friends along to success also. Johnson, Howard — December h His chief characteristic is caution and he is gentle and quiet, though feeling deeply. He sees visions and sights quite beyond the powers of his associates. He is most grate- ful, doing almost any service to win a caress or a kindly word. Joss, Frank— February 9 His faults are apt to be exaggeration, pre- varication, and bragging. His healing power may be highly developed, intuitive know- ledge telling him when to use it. His characteristics are: a good niemor -, sensi- tiveness, and the power of absorbing and retaining knowledge. Lagger. Dorothy — June 5 She has a double nature, in constant con- tradiction of itself.

Our attention was first called to a steak fry. On the evening of October 24, a party of Junior Collegians, chaperoned by Miss Law and Miss Spangler, boarded the good shi]), Milton D. and journeyed to Limachcr ' s woods, where they enjoyed a steak fry. Thus, social afifairs had begun in earnest. Of course, Junior Collegians are er ' bus; folks, and they cannot spend all of their tiniv- planning steak fries and parlies. So for the nr l month tlicy had to content themselvc with Friday afternoon social hours, and a roui h neck day thrown in every once in a while for variety ' s sake, until the next great event on the social calendar appearcil. On November l(i, the Junn.r College Chil. gave a dance at tin (. ' onservalory Hall. six piece orchestra composed of Junior Col- lege students furnished the music. Members of the faculty were chaperoncs at this jiarty, and the dance proved to be a great success. Our attention was next called to- the one big event of the semester: the party at the Country Club which was held on December 2, and was one of the smartest afifairs of the Thanksgiving season. Music was furnished by Formentoc ' s Orchestra, and at eleven o ' clock luncheon was served by the chef of the club Twelve o ' clock, the hour of departure, arrived too soon to please the enthusiastic group of Collegians who attended the party.

At the beginning of last semester, Mrs. Bab- cock suggested that her first year College French Class form a cluli. The students eagerly acted upon this plan gnd formed L ' Aubade. Frank Joss was elected le president. Robert Lennon le vice president, and I, dia Converse, la secretaire et le tresorer. Our club life began when Feytel III extended an invitation to L ' Aubade and to other Feytel members ti a party at Snapp ' s cafeteria. De- cember 12. This was the first social function L ' Aubade had the honor to attend. Pas un mot d ' anglais! It was a struggle for L ' Aubade to always speak French, but this did not lessen the joy thereof. In appreciation of the party given us, L ' Aubade entertained Feytel members at Snapp ' s Cafeteria on ilarch 20. Resides speeches, dancing was a pastime. On May 1, at her home, 416 Richards Street, Mrs. Babcock gave a The-danse for the mem- bers of the College French clubs. The mem- bers enjoyed beaucoup the hospitality of the hostess. At the beginning of the year we studied grannner. This was followed by the reading and memorizing of fables. Conversation was then introduced. We then read Daudet ' s Le Petit Chose and Labiche ' s Le X ' oyage de Monsieur Perichon. L ' Aubade was represented in a tableau given April 19 to advertise the year book. The picture was a sunrise over mountains. F.dna Mae French and Joe O ' Cinnell were the repre- sentatives who watched the sunrise.

French Club Rtady to brave the dangers of unknown seas the crew of the good ship Feytel III set sail from the port of September, under the command of Captain Everett J. Shaw with Dorothy Lag- ger as first mate. The first few weeks out the seas were calm ; everything went smoothly, and the crew was in high spirits. But this state of affairs was not destined to last ; they were approaching the sea of Memorize, or better known on the map as le jVIer de Apprendre par Coeur, where man ' squalls were encoun- tered, resulting in a few near casualties. Des- pondency came over some of the members. Monotony and the dreary prospect of hard work were the causes. At the end of the first six weeks, entered in the log book as the first semi-quarter, the crew was paid each man according to his works. Here again were many disappointments. Many felt that their services had been underestimated, and mutter- ings of mutiny arose. These mutterings were soon silenced; the ship was at the mercy of Le Cid, a treacherous wind prevalent in that quarter of the globe, and there was no time for such thoughts. Blown off the course, the ship narrowly escaped being stranded upon the reef of Eugenie Grandet. Then a great calm, in nautical terms Le Verre d ' Eau , set in. This gave the crew a chance for other pursuits. Some tried their hands at writing verse. A few of the gems are : Un maison without a cheminee, Un navire without a sail What could be so bad dans printemps As exams you ' re sure to fail? The above was written by Charles A. Hill, who assumed command of the ship upon the resignation of Mr. Shaw. Another Words- worth , was the acclaim which greeted the fol- lowing poem, beautiful in its ni sticism and in- tense love of nature. It was an agreeable jour dans Springtime. The babbling ruisseau did flow. The larks and thrushes sweetly sing Au revoir, hiver, and your snow. Some other offerings were : Peutctre dans some future day to come. Je gagnerai great fame in writing verse Mais, now quil faut que J ' ecris, and I can ' t think Je simplement sit ici, ct curse et curse. 1 Nous avons une vive petite French class Dans quels le Francais nous speak Et la pensee that peut-etre nous will not pass II nous fait very weak.

I A lew entries from the log book will show that other pastimes were indulged in : December 12: The Feytel III put in at the piirt of Snapp ' s, and shore leave was granted. The ship was provisioned with ice cream and cake. A cargo of perfume and candy was taken aboard. Our pleasant stay was cut short by Le Question d ' Argent and we again set out to sea. The lookout sighted a ship, longitude March ,50, latitude 4 o ' clock. It proved to be L ' Aubade bound for the same port. Around the end of April an epidemic of spring fever hit the crew, leaving the ship under-manned. In consequence it just missed being washed upon the rocks of Gil Bias. Mav 1 : The crews of both the Feytel III and L ' Aubade, were entertained at the port 416 Richards Street by Mrs. Babcock, the pilot. Already shore lights can be seen through the seaman ' s glass. This suggests a parting of friends made en voyage. Addresses of travel- ing companions are being traded with the idea of exchanging letters in the future. The great question before us is : Can we pass the customs house? Is our baggage too great? Page One Hundred Thirty- ' ' S x ' SM Come Out of the Kitchen During tlu ' early part of January, kitchens became most unpopular with Junior Collegians as well as many of their high school friends, especially the pul)lic speaking classes. Every- where was heard the cry. Come out of the Kitchen, and so well was the summons obeyed that on the evenings of January 5th, 6th. and ISth, over 2500 people had abandoned their suii- per dishes to fill the seats of the auditorium and listen to an all-star cast of Junior Collegians present their annual play. Never before in the annals of the College had its annual play been presented at three evening performances, but, due to the urgent requests of many. Miss Dickinson and the cast gladly repeated it during the mid-year vaca- tion. This unusual popularity was inidoubtedl ' due to tlie efforts of the personnel, most of whom had appeared in previous school perform- ances, as well as to the splendid coaching of Miss Lena Dickinson. The plot of the three act comedy by A. E. Thomas presents a destitute, aristocratic, southern family who decided to rent their home to a rich Yankee, who stipulates in the lease that there must be no colored servants. The expected white servants not arriving, the four young Dangerfields themselves decide to take their places. This rash scheme is proposed and executed by Oliva. the pretty big sister, en- acted by Edna Mae French as the heroine, and we are sure that Miss Ruth Chatterton. who played that part on the legitimate stage would have envied Miss French ' s charming manner and perfect stage assurance. In a twinkling, she transforms herself into Jane Ellen, the cook: her stubborn little sister Elizabeth, Ruth Crane, into an upstairs girl; Paul, the yoinig law student, recognizable as Charles Robson, into a butler, and Charlie. Harold Glasgow-, the mischievous younger brother, into a boy of all work. This is hardly accomplished wdien the Yankee hero. Burton Crane, arrives to take possession, and from his first appearance, Willet Switzer lives up to his title of our college Romeo. Burton Crane brings with him as guests Mr. Solon Tucker, his lawyer friend, Elmer Grohne, who specializes in kitchens, Mr. Tucker ' s sister, Mrs. Faulkner, a dragon, a hen. and a cat, Mildred AlcPartlin, and her charming daughter Cora, Leone Bryant, who, disregarding her mother ' s plans to matrimonial- ly entrap Crane, makes plans of her own re- garding the young poet, Thomas LefTerts, Joseph O ' Connell. Lefferts, in an endeavor to see Cora, has a thrilling kitchen experience first with the cook and then with Mammy. Genrose Weaver, Oliva Dangerfield ' s old colored mam- my, who, unable to stay away longer, has come back to see her li ' l lady bab3 ' . Many amus- ing incidents take place in which the incom- petent servants are involved and one by one Burton Crane dismisses them and one by one protests of Raudolf Veeks. Campbell Carey, an agent and friend of the Dangerfields. to whom the plot has been confided, and the outcome of the plans of the young people look doubtful, but all is safe when, after much suspense, Oliva acknowledges her love for Crane and the play ends as it should — and they lived happily ever after.

Page One Hun The Mikado On Decemlier 15, 1922, two Joliet audiences were removed from the Here and Now into a land of cherry blossoms and kimonas. through the genius of Gilbert and Sullivan in their light opera, The Mikado, which was presented by the Junior College for the bene- fit of the loan fund. The principals of the cast w ere all members of the Junior College, while the assisting choruses were composed of students from the high school and junior college. Following is a list of tlic principals: The Mikado of Japan Benjamin Jones. Nanki-Poo, his son, disguised as a wandering minstrel, and in love witii Vum-Yum, Fred Talbot. Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner of Titipu,... Everett J. Shaw. P ' ooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else Roliert Snurc. Pish-Tush, a Noble Lord, ..Harold Bischman. Vum-Yum Pitti-Sing Peep-Bo Three Sisters, wards of Ko-Ko Gladys Hansen Florence W ' alz Loretta Fisk Katisha, an elderly lady in love with Nanki- Poo, Congetta Romano There is a fascinating plot, with a great deal of music, humor and nonsense, Nanki- Poo, the son of the Mikado, fleeing from the unwelcome love of Katisha, a favorite of the Mikado, comes to Titipu, disguised as a second trombone, seeking his love, Yum-Yum. He learns that Ko-Ko, a cheap tailor, con- denmed to death for flirting, has been pro- moted to be Lord High Executioner, and is about to wed Yum-Yum. Nanki-Poo, des- pairing, resolves to die. The Mikado cen- sures Ko-Ko for laxity in office, and threatens dire punishment unless a beheading takes place within a month. Nanki-Poo agrees to be the vactim if he may marry Yum-Yum im- mediately. The chorus prevent Katisha ' s at- tempt to reveal Nanki Poo ' s identity. In Act n, Y ' um-Yum ' s w ' edding prepara- tions are halted by Ko-Ko ' s announcement that the wife of an executed subject must be buried alive — Such a stuffy death. Nanki- Poo heroically renounces Yum-Yum, and pleads for immediate execution. Chicken hearted Ko-Ko refuses, and finally it is ar- ranged that Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum shall elope, while Pooh-Bah makes out the death certificate of Nanki-Poo to satisfy the Mikado, who unexpectedly arrives at Titipu. The vic- tim ' s death is affectingly described, and Kati- sha discovers his identity from the certificate, and bewails his death. Ko-Ko faces a horr- ible death for slaying the heir apparent, who refuses to come to life until freed from the danger of Katisha ' s tmwelcome love. Ko-Ko, to escape his dire peril, resolves to wed her, and wins her consent in a tearfully funny scene. Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum receive the Mikado ' s blessing, and Katisha accepts the unwilling Ko-Ko, who is the only unhappy one.

One Hundred Thirty-thi V fSSyCfe- The Junior College Male Chorus Perhaps you do not know that there are 4 two organizations of growlers in the Junior J College. When you glance at the first para- ,J graph of this and pass to the next article you s , will have become acquainted with this fact. ' - ' ' The first of these growler organizations had the audacity to style itself the Junior Col- V lege Male E)ouble Quartet. ' : This group was gotten together at the sug- gestion of John Martin, Harry Witkin, and Frank Joss to while away a few moments be- tween scenes of the Junior College play. We appeared in all three performances of the play, under the foregoing appellation, and rendered Carry Me Back to ' Ole Virginny and, as encore, Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield. We received some reports that it was rotten, but most of them were some- what complimentary. Our personnel at this time consisted of Fred Talbot, Anton Olivo, Harry Witkin, Bob Snure, Frank Joss, Ever- ett Shaw, Ben Jones, and John Martin. Bob Snure was not present for the third perform ance. He had his customary sore throat. Mr. Brockett trained us for our appearance; any credit goes to him and we will take all the blame (we get more than our share at that, we believe.) After this performance, Mr. Brockett sug- gested that we continue long enough to try to redeem ourselves. We enjoyed the prac- tices; so we agreed to continue and to prac- tice Wednesdaj ' s and Fridays. During this time we changed to music requiring piano accompaniment; so Margaret Owen was ob- tained for accompanist. Her presence also augmented the attendance at practices. Some were interested enough in music (?) to at- tend our rehearsals. Among their number were Alberta Miller, Grace Mau, Gladys Han- sen, and Florence Walz. We were asked to sing at Growlers and were glad to comply, with Winter Song and In Absence. These were well received; so we sang Gleam, Brightly Gleam as an encore. At this appearance we had the same persons who sang before, reinforced by Mr. Brockett, Fayette Shaw, and Vaheh Seron. At the end of the first semester of the year, the chorus was weakened by the loss of Harry Witkin, a second tenor, and strength- ened by the addition of George Perkins, a second bass. Frank Joss was changed to second tenor from baritone, and a second bass was made utility man to shift to baritone when necessary. We were to appear, twelve, counting director and accompanist, at the May Music Festival, but John Martin, Vaheh Seroij, and Anton Olivo backed out at the last minute. However, we appeared and sang, The Sword of Ferrarra and made a good try for the bacon even if we did not succeed in bringing it home. Mr. Brockett hopes to be able to develop a male chorus of twenty-four voices in the Junior College next year, so that we may enter in the contest staged annually between the choruses of the colleges and universities of this part of the country. It is not believed he can do this because there are too many Albertas. who will sav to their Johns, Oh! DON ' T go T.ODAY, John. Prize Poem by Frances Beckwith OLD WORLD ROMANCE ' Neath sunny skies in summer lands. She beckons us with friendly hands, And calls us to the golden sands Of distant shores, serene and fair. Soft breezes blow with fragrance sweet Across gay blooming fields, to greet Us hurrying on impatient feet To keep a tryst beyond compare.

Prize Story by Genrose Weaver IN MEMORY OF Captain Jem Atwood was a native of Cape Cod, which is the same as to say that Captain Jem lived in his low, rambling white house, on a sandy bluff overlooking Southam Harbor, from one migration of summer folk to the next. And what is more to the purpose. Captain Jem had always been a native. Ben born an ' raised right here on the cape, he would say proudly. An ' thar ain ' t a place in God ' s wide world like old Cape Cod. No, — here the voice would grow husky, the gruff old sea captain with his grizzled hair, piercing eyes, and deepfurrowed, weatherbeaten visage became changed. His hands trembled and he became astonishingly older. No, he would continue, though I got to ' How things ain ' t what they was in my day, and — never ' ll be again? He was right. Things had changed. In Cap- tain Jem ' s daj ' s Southam, like so many other Cape Cod villages, had been a flourishing fish- ing hamlet with crowded wharves. h iiy streets, many shops, and prosperous fishermen. But one by one the older generation of sea-farers had been laid to rest in the old burying ground, and the new generation, findind its intrest in the near-by Hub, had left the village practically deserted, save in the summer months when it again roused after a long hibernation. Old home- Page One Hundred Thirtyfou im - steads were then reoccupied, and rest seekinjj summer boarders swarmed like bees, attracted by its quaintness and its quiet. It was summer now, and Southam was astir with its numbers of transient inhabitants. The great red sun was sinking over the horizon and its fading rays of sunlight were lingering around the deserted wharves. The captain, as was his habit of summer evenings, was seated in front of his house on the edge of the bluff, gazing out across the harbor. From time to time he puffed at the corn-cob pipe he held between his teeth and gazed before him, yet a keen observer would have questioned whether he saw anything of the glorious scene, and in fact he did not. He looke d out from under his shaggy brows upon the Southam of fifty years ago. In fancy he saw the great sails of a fishing fleet filling before a stiff sou ' easter, the well filled schooners skim- ming through the white capped waves. He heard the cheering of the crowd upon the shore and the huzzahing of the returning fishers. He could even distinguish faces of his friends upon the wharf and himself at the helm of one of the fastest little vessels that ever sailed off the Cape Cod coast. Under the softening inflvience of his day- dream the stern face of the skipper rela.xed, but like a flash, he changed, the fancy gone. He had heard a step behinl him, and in on instant the Captain Jem of the past became the stern, apparently hard-hearted hermit of the present, asking or giving nothing, and thinking, living forever in the past. Lo, Cap ' n, inighty fine sunset thar. The intruder came up and stood before the captain fumbling with a very shabby felt hat. His em- barrassment was evident. Gradually the captain turned and eyed his visitor from his mop of reddish hair to his dust- covered shoes. Ye-es was his laconic and none too hospitable reph ' . Ye-es, Dave. Dave, not greatly encouraged, stood awk- wardly near offering no further conversation. At last the captain spoke. Waal, I cal ' late you wanted to see me ' bout somethin ' didn ' t you Dave? Folks don ' t gen ' rally come up here ' less they do. David Brent gulped, then summoning all his courage nodded. Waal yes. Cap ' n. Do you cal ' late you ' ve decided any different ' bout the yallow house down on the P ' int ? The captain ' s jaw set tighter. No. The an- swer was deliberate, positive. Made up my mind, I cal ' late, Dave. Them summer folks pays good, an ' they need it mighty bad. Cal ' late I ' ve made up my mind, Dave, reit- reated Captain Atwood, and this repetition brought the matter to an end. In a few moments Dave was shuffling off in the direction from which he had come, and the Captain, knocking the bowl of his empty pipe against his knee, rose and entered the house. The 7 :45 mail train from Boston was due in twenty minutes and a group of men were loung- ing in front of the Southam General Store and Post Office awaiting its arrival. Ike Gould, the postmaster was speaking. I heerd Dave was askin ' Cap ' n Jem ' bout sel- lin ' his house to them summer folks down on the P ' int. Waal, observed another lounger. It ain ' t the fust time as Cap ' n Jem ' s been asked that. Xigh onto seven years they ' ve been trying to get that house. ' Tvvould make a fine dance hall for them summer folks, but he hangs on to ' t worse ' n a liarnacle. Says it ' s old associations or some- thin ' an ' he won ' t sell at any price. ' Tain ' t doin ' nobody any good. I cal ' late, and the Cap ' n just doin ' it for meanness. Waal, I cal ' late thar ' er mean folks an ' thar ' er the other kind too, philosophized old Veeny Gill, the station master, as holding his official ' s cap in hand, he swung one leg over a tonic case and looked steadily at the lounger. The Cap ' n does ' pear like the mean kind, but the others is like, waal, is like Miss Hubbard I cal ' late. She ' s that thar school marm as come down from Bos- ton a few weeks ' go to summer at the P ' int. A mighty smart young w ' man an ' real good lookin too. She ' s dead crazy ' bout young ones. I saw her takin ' a whole crew of ' em on a picnic day ' afore yesterday. She ' s mighty int ' rested, as I larn, in startin ' a school here this winter so af, the youngsters won ' t have to cruise clear t ' Orleans, but the school board claims as they can ' t ' fford to build a school house an ' thar ' s noth- in ' as will serve ' ceptin Ezra Pain ' s old barn what ' s like a seive to all th ' elements. It ' s mighty too bad, I cal ' late. Veeny stopped speaking just as the whistle of the approaching train was heard, and immediate- ly all was stir in preparation for the event of the day — the arrival of the 7:45. The morning after David Brent ' s visit found the captain plodding slowly along the main road. The sun lieat unmericfully down upon his stooped figure leaning heavily upon a stout stick, but he minded it not. slowly making his way, his eyes fastened upon the ground. Only once did he lift them when he changed the position of his left hand so that the small Ijouquet of fuchsias which he carried might escape the direct rays of the sun. On he went until at last he paused and lifted the wicket gate of an old cemetery from its rusted hinges. As it squeaked back and he stepped in among the weeds and half hidden tomb stones it was as if a host of ghostly figures came forth to meet him. Friends long since depa ' -ted but not forgotten accosted him at every step. The words of a Welsh folksong come to him My lips smile no more my heart Ir light- No dream of the future my spirit can cheer, I only would brood on the past and its bright- ness The dead I have mourned are again living here. He walked slowly and carefully through the long weeds until he came to a grave that showed the care of loving hands. Here he knelt and laid his offering of flowers. Then slowly he raised his eyes and read once more those simple words w-hich seemed so seered into his soul. Here lies Rebecca Paine, Age 21 May She Rest in Peace. Rebecca Paine, the dear sweetheart of the long ago. Memory was kind and came to sooth his solitude. He lived again those happy days when with a golden haired girl he trod the lanes of Southam, full of the joys of life and love. Cap- tain Jem was not one to forget. In spite of the years which divided the young man from the old, he loved still as deeply and as truly, and clung to all that was near or dear to the lovely Rebecca with hopeless tenacity. He leaned nearer the grave and almost inaudibly murmured. Becky. Becky, you wouldn ' t have me sell our little house, would you? The little house where Continued on page 147. i h Page One Hundr 0i m Now the names of these seventy-five members I ' ll tell; They deserve recognition, and deserve it full well. Margaret Cummings is first, and then Edna Mae French, Fred Anderson too,— Ah, I see a judge ' s bench ! Elmer Grohne, Fred Talbot, John Martin, and then Harold Bischman and Bob Eyman, full of wit and ken. Cecil Smith is the next, and beside him Ruth Stunn, They ' re a most charming couple, I ' m sure you ' ll affirm. Gertrude Fleming, Grace Man, Harry Shenk, and Frank Joss Have delved deep into books and know wis- dom from dross. Everett Shaw appears next, and his brother Fayette, An illustrious pair whom few worries beset. Frances Beckwith, Bess Tiernev, and Dorothy Dirst All have hopes for good things, expecting the worst. Then unlike them by far is Miss Caroline Steen Who would gaze on all trnuldcs with proud, haughty mien. Gordon Bedford, Congetta Romano, and Ben- jamin Jones Can make music so sweet, in melodious tones. Fred Calkins, Joe Whitwam, and then Camp- bell Carey All come dancing so sprightly, one would think ' twas a faiiry. These are followed by two; James McGann and Brooks Steen, Who accomplish their tasks with results un- foreseen. Gladys Hansen appears with a gay, lau.ghing troupe; Lois Peacock, Gwen Fairbairn and Dot Dag- ger make the group. Margaret Owen comes next; she is dainty and fair, For her cheeks are two roses, tarnished gold is her hair. Florence Walz is a brooklet, a clear one, I think, For her notes are as water gliding o ' er a rough brink. Viva Reid, Robert Snure, and Kalhryn Ros- chek Have huge words on the ir tongues which no man can check. And Maud Martin is like them, nnich learn- ing has she, Though not all comes from books, yet her words are mighty. Russell Cook, Howard Seltzer, and Charles Robson, Francis Larkin, and George Lofdahl all have begun Jack Talcott : The only thing 1 own is love; when I run out of it I ' ll be broke. Leone Brvant : Well, that ' s no lie. + Cecil Smith : If H 2 O is water ; what is H 2 O for? Irving Gaines : There is no such formula. Cecil Smith : Why, you dub, it ' s for wash- ing purposes. To put forth their best efforts and help with the work, For, though bashfid or handsC ' Uie, no duty they shirk. Mildred Cousins, and Bee Sandberg come with Genrose Weaver, Three good workers are they, always busy as beavers. Just behind them another group comes into view: Leslie Heintz, Eben Grundy, and John Dan- zinger, too. They are followed by others, Marie Killinger is one, Mary Louise Condon is next, and then Bea- trice Williamson. Irene Roe and Dorothy Sengenberger in or- der appear; They will always be ready to help, never fear. Willet Switzer, Ray Shroba and all of the rest As Keith Sinninger and W.illiam Fouser are classed with the best; Mildred Alfrick, Anna Daggett, in addition • Louise Dirst, In that fine art of typing they all are well versed. Clark Woodruff, Irving Gaines, and Joseph O ' Connell Are three shining stars in the great baseball struggle; While Leone Bryant with her sweet little dainty-like air Attends every game. You can count on her there. Then there ' s Blanche Hills whose dignity never is lacking Giving orders to all those who fail in their backing. Mary Ryan and L. Fisk have most pleasine manners; If their places are vacant, we miss quite a chatter. There are two other men who are still on the list: Benny Greenberg and Jack Talcott, they must not be missed. And then comes Alberta, who is wondrous bright. When she makes a statement remember it ' s right. -A.nd at last, but not least, is Dorothv Sandi- ford, To whom all is pleasure and peace and ac- cord. Then to guide all these folks, with their work to advise. Are two faculty memliers, kind, patient, and wise: Mr. Trams and Miss Law, no two others could be Half so good, we all think, I ' m sure you ' ll agree. — Vera Stellwagen. .

Witli just a few men with basketliail ability our prospects for a hundred per cent standing throughout the season looked poor, but under the coaching of Mike Gates we soon began to round into shape and prospects began to look brighter. Due to the fact that the high school light and heavy weight basketball teams practiced after school and occupied the gym from -1 o ' clock to 6 P. M., we had to practice after supper at 7 P. M. and for a time only two nights a week were devoted to basketball. Of course, this was a handicap to us. but then we made the best of it and worked hard to put over a winning team. Our first game was with Aurora College at Aurora, and we lost a close game, with the final score 22 to 18. Our line up was : Jim Meers at center; Walt Morrison at right for- ward; Bob Eyman left forward; Vaheh Seron, right g:uard; and Joe Duffy, left guard. In this game it could easily be seen that we had not found ourselves, and we needed a good deal of practice to accomplish team work. In our next game we had the good fortune, so to speak, of having John Douglas and Jim Barr with us. Their coming strengthened our team considerably, but nevertheless we lost our sec- ond game to the American College of Physical Education of Chicago, the score being 20 to 15. We players felt that there was something radically wrong, for we were losing to teams that we felt were inferior to us. Consequently, Coach Cates arranged for more practice ses- sions, and we pinned ourselves down to real work. The scrinmiages with the Bell Telephone and High School teams made us feel more con- fident of ourselves (which is half of the battle), and we showed a great improvement when we met our next opponent, Chicago Tech College, beating them, 29 to 19. The winning of this game gave us new spirit, and we worked hard for the coming game with Mt. Morris. The fans who v ' itnessed this game will agree with me, when I say that it was the best game that had been seen around Joliet this year. The game was close throughout and ended with a tie. IS to IS. However, in a five minute overtime per- iod, we nosed them out by one point, the final score being 18 to 17. Though the team as a whole played a good game, the first honors should go to VValt Morrison, who caged four baskets, wdiich kept us in striking distance of Mt. Morris throughout the game. Bob Eyman made the final point by caging a free throw, which gave us the game by one point. We found little trouble in winning our next four games, beating St. Procopius 27 to 7, Elndiurst 22 to 12, Northwestern Academy, 21 to 14, and Aurora 47 to 10. It gave us great pleasure to give Aurora a drubbing, as they had beaten us in our opening game, and we were all primed for them and showed them that we had somewhat improved since we last met them. It seemed as if there was a jinx following us whenever we played away from home. Elgin Academy defeated us in a fast game through- out, the score at the end of third quarter be- ing tied, but then, in the fourth quarter Elgin came back and out-played us (but did not out- fight us) and won 30 to 19. Following this game we went to Mt. Morris for a return game with them. It seemed as if we just could not get going, and they beat us 31 to 22. Our last game was with Northwestern Academy and they beat us in a fast contested game. Though we lost these last three games of the season, it did not make us feel so badly as we had beaten these same teams on our home floor, with the exception of Elgin, with whom we did not pla_v a return game. Sunniiing up our basketball season, we can- not boast of really having a successful season, but nevertheless we won 60% of our games. The one thing we can boast of however, is a fighting team ; they were of the spirit that says, never say die . The team was composed of real sports, who never boasted when they won, and never kicked when they lost. Thus ended the season, with much of their success due to the unfailing efforts of Coach Cates. Here are the names of the survivors of the season who deserve the credit of the Junior College and public in general. Bob Eyman — a worthy captain, brainy for- ward, and a consistent player. Walt Morrison — a slim lad, a forward with a dead eye, and there with the goods. Chuck Woodruff — the redheaded lad, who is difficult to keep track of when he gets going. Continued on page 145.

Baseball Immediately following the close of the basket- ball season a call was sent to the Junior Col- legians lor baseljall men. The first night look- ed very promising, as we had about twenty men report for practice, but by tlie time the first game was scheduled, the. - had thinned out, and now we have approximately eleven men re- porting for baseball practice. However, these eleven men have plenty of fight and baseball in tlicni ; so we have developed a team that will compare evenly with previous Junior College teams. Our first game was sclK ' duled with Mt. Morris, April 14, but due to the bad weather the game was called off. Our next game was scheduled with Northwestern Academy of Kap- erville. Illinois. April 21, but again the we.ilher was unfavorable for l aseball. and the game h.id to be postiioned to Wednesday. April 2.5 The first game showed that the Junior Collejc team had plent - of stuff, scoring five runs in the first two innings, and three more runs wen- added to this number before the game had terminated, while the best Northwestern coii ' d do was to score one lone run. The final score was 8 to 1 in favor of Joliet. Al Siegrist, the College pitching ace, perform- ed in great style, allowing the opponents onl ' two liits, and striking out eight batters. This li i showi ' d C( acli Cates that h a snappy infield and an outfield that can lield the ball well. He also discovered fme real hitters, namely, Woodruff, Ta ' hct. and Eyman.

It was a hectic game, but mark.d with plent - of excitement. At the end of the fifth frame the visitors were leading by a score of 5 to 2. Joliet evened the score in the sixth inning. In the eighth frame St. Procopius made a four- run rally. In the ninth innin,!;, tlirru.gh the slugging of Jack Talcott we (ied llii ' score 10 to 10. l£ach team scored two runs in flu- eleventh.

Much credit to the success of the tt;am is due to our persistent coach, Mike Cates. Cates has shown that he knr.ws baseball by rounding the team into a first rat.

(Beginning in a loud voice) : Mr. Chairman, (iuests. Sponsors, and Fellow ( irowlers : 1 have lieen asked this evening to give an ora- tion on the lienehts derived from hard studying an l having an aim in life. But, as I stand up here, and look at this gi£ai_maanificent and in-tel- lect-u-al gathering before me. 1 am sure that they do not need anyone to tell them that stu ' ' ' - ' diligently has its iust rewards and that havi ? an aim in life sours one on to greater deeds, and so — and so — (stops, reaches quickly and raises glass of water; reading from a paper cufif that his outline of speech is on ; after a glance at outline ) and so, I have decided to leave that |)art (.)f my speech to some other person at some other time. But, liefore beginning ni ' - oration. I wish to thank Miss Law and Mr. Trams, who with the help of one of our most distin.guished (ges- turing wildly), brilliant, noted, and .great (paper cuff flies off after a particularly wild gesture ; going on after a pause) and. and greatest orators of today wrote this oration. Now, when 1 wrote this oration, I was asked by nearly every member of the graduating class to tell you. the prominent members of the Growlers, some things that we would like to leave behind as reminders of our good will and to show our sincerity to- ward you. Keeping in mind, kind audier.ce. that these are all meant in the spirit of fun and not in the least to be offensive. lend me your ears ! ( Takes documentary will from pocket and reads : ) To our sponsors, we. the class, collectively and individually, wish to leave behind the profound admiration of the class of ' 23; To Blanche Hills — Lois Peacock ' s ability to giggle; to Margaret Cummings, Ruth Crane leaves the balance of the treasur} ' to lie used to buy a pair of rubber over- shoes for detective work.

He ' ll feel the need of that, he fears, and couldn ' t be induced into, leav- ing it behind — even with Howdy who needs it so badly ! To Campbell Carey and Clark Woodruff , the example of all the members of this class, to keep quiet on all occasions — even when in the midst of ladies. To George Lofdahl. Kathyrn Roschek ' s ability to talk on any sub- ject from rowing a boat to making love.

To yi:ur class, all such boys as are al)le to keep pace yith the brilliant girls that compose the majority of our class. Yet, all these farewells are as nothing com- pared to the farewell we must make. We must leave behind something needing protection : you ask, What? and I answer, The Cirowlers. It needs our help as much as the League of Xa- tions needs America, or, as much as Prohibition needs ' olstead. But, a League of Nations was accomplished, and so it will lie with the (irowlers, only more so! Just tliink of what a future, with the silver-tongued eloquence of a Johnson. You are all probably familiar with Howard ' s form in patriotic speeches: he was held up by Miss Dickinson as having the best form, for patriotic speaking she ever saw. Xbw. when she says this, it means something. Imagine what you are missing by not having (poses wdth one arm ex- tended and one foot lifted off the ground: in a loud voice) Patriotism! Patriotism! I cannot do justice to his form — not having tiie logic of a Bryant. I hear that she can talk to a teacher for five minutes and raise her mark five points — well, that ' s more than most of us can do by talking to a teacher for five months. And, also think of what you ' re missing bj ' not having the good cheer of a Shrolia. I wonder if Ray will smile for us now? (Ray smiles sweetly) Yes, I guess he will ! Alas, mjf friends, the loss of these eloquent- log-i-cal. wit-ty, and cheerful people are the costs of progress, and. since you are to be handi- capped somewhat by losing such celebrities, al- low me to give you a little serious advice in conclusion : Attempt, and do your best, to make the Grow- lers an organization for the betterment of the school — both socially and intellectually. This can be accomplished in only one w-ay — by making opportunities and taking advantage of them. Making opportunities, I say, and not waiting for them. There is a popular belief in the minds of young men — perhaps more than in young women — that much in your lives depends on luck. The longer one lives, however, the more he is in- clined to concede nothing to luck. Luck mas- querades under other names, and I say, that the man or woman wdio succeeds in life, succeeds in proportion to the ainoimt of work that he or she has done ' .And, so it is with a literary club or society ; it cannot succeed and be a credit to a school unless all the members do their best to make it a success, and I am confident, that if every member here tonight does his or her best to make the Growders a success, that in five or ten years from now. when the Growders is widely recognized, you can look back, point, and say with pride: I! I ' m a charter member of the Growders! I helped to make it wdiat it is to- day! LOXG LIVF. THE GROWLFRS! THE GROWLERS ' SONG We are happy J. C. Growlers O what joy we find in life !

You wouldn ' t have me let them make a dance hall of the very room where our children would have played, would you, Becky? Our little home. I can ' t let ' em do it. I can ' t. Here the old man buried his face in his hands in his great anguish. Poor Cap ' n Jem. the past was so dear and yet so far away. He was so very alone. It was nearly evening wdien he rose, quiet and com- posed, and retraced his steps back to the house on the bluff. Several days later as the sun was setting, the customary group of loungers gathered in front of the General Store and Post office. David Brent, who was among the number, was busily engaged in i)iling up empty tonic boxes. Suddenly some one spoke his name. Dave. Dave Brent. The owner of the name glanced up into the face of Captain Jem. There was no hardness in the captain ' s eyes now as he said. Dave, though I cal ' late I ' ve made up my mind ' bout sellin ' my yallow house to them summer folks, still, seein ' as I had a vis ' tor the other day, you ' d ' blige me, Dave, if next time you ' re deiiverin ' down at the P ' int you ' d tell her that Cap ' n an ' Mrs. Jem .Atwnod will be pleased as to see their yallow house used as the school house this winter. Then without another word he walked off leaving the astonished Dave aghast with amaze- ment to lean against the tonic cases and gasp. An ' there never was no Missus.

H, S. faced the -early prob- lem ; the school needed a year book. Accord- ingly, plans were laid for a year book spon- sored b ' the senior class. The staff felt that a year book was too big an undertaking to be undertaken by one class alone. It was a pro- ject that should be backed by the whole school, each class sharin.g in the work beforehand and in the praise when a good annual appeared. The school needed the year book, but more than that the year book needed a school ; and it needed the whole school, not just a few upper classmen whose talents in the literary or busi- ness line, the years had in some measure de- veloped. It needed every Freshman, Sopho- more, Junior and Senior, talking it, thinking it, subscribing for it, getting others to subscribe and getting ads for it. The staf , postponing their lunch for two whole periods gathered in solemn conclave. At length after much pro- posing and deposing they had a sweet vision of lunch almost in hand or in mouth, as it were, for they had arrived upon a scheme. It wasn ' t a startlinglv new or original plan, but it was w-orkable. Within the next few days the information went out from the J office, that to any group of twenty or more people in the school, either previously organized or willing now to organize, bringing in four dollars and fifty cents worth of business per capita to the year book, either in subscriptions or ads, would be given a half page in the year book to use in any w-ay they mi.ght desire. These pictures and writeups are the result of the response to this plan. The}- do not represent alone a group of people organized among themselves. They mean time after school taken from personal duties to go into the business places all over the city trying for ads, almost always gladly given, the subscrip- tions of these people and of all the others from whom they could separate from seventy-five cents and whose signatures they could get on the dotted line. They mean a lot of good hard cash turned into the year book treasury, but more than that they mean the personal interest of several hundred people in the year book. They mean that when the year book is out these people can jKiiiU to certain ads and say, This is the ail that I solicited. They mean that not only dollars were brought into the year book treasury, but school spirit and loyalty were brought in to that great invisible treasury that we call our school. And though the pages show many groups, they are, after all, only one l)ig group, a hard w ' orking, wide awake crowds of folks boostin,g each in his way to put over a big project because the school needed a year book and the year book needed a school- There are several groups whose quota did not come up to that required for the half-page space, but whose w-ork was noteworthy. The class in Business Writing, composed of students in the Junior College, conducted a Direct-by- Alail advertising campaign in which each mem- ber of the class wrote a series of letters to- students in the high school urging them to pur- chase year books. This was a campaign in which it was of course impossible to measure returns. The girls in the A IV Shorthand classes mixed business with pleasure and decided that they would have a party as soon as they aver- aged two subscriptions to the year book for each member in the class. Ve understand that they are to have their party in a few days. The J Literary Club, under Miss Jones, contributed forty dollars in subscriptions and advertisements, while a group of industrial and trade students from the Plumbing Department sold about thirty copies. To Room j09 goes especial honor : It has the enviable record of being 100% in subscrip- tions. Page One Hundre.I Fifty Bite •• ! «. -eSaSor V.

H S H()(!STi; ' vS Clubs That Made Possible the New En lish Club Room The above five pictureh represent Miss Gil- pin ' s five English classes, which are organized into clubs, the purpose of which is not only to teach the student the required English work but also to educate them along other lines. For ex- ample, the chairman learns how to preside at a meeting according to Roberts Rules of Order. The Secretary learns how to write minutes ' correctly. The treasurer learns somethiiTg about book-keeping (for we have dues and a bank account. ) We also have committees who learn how to work together and make reports properly. We are kind and thoughtful too, for we have our flow-er committee which sends flowers to any members of our club who may be sick. We learn how to vote, for we have our regular election every Tuesday and the Judges of Election count the votes. Every week we have new officers so that everyone will have a chance to learn the duties of each office. Each club has dues of from five to ten cents a week. This organization of classes also helps to develop initiative and teaches self government. Each club has a business meeting and a pro- gram every Friday during their regular class period. For their program the Freshman class- es give current topics from the Literary Digest, but the Juniors have debates. While these are organized on the same plan as University de- bating teams and we learn to judge argu- ments and fallacies, yet they certainly are a lot of fun too, for we have some exciting times. The debates close with a joint debate between the two Junior Clubs, the losers to furnish the eats for a picnic. In spire of all our work we have lots of fun, too. The Thrifty Crusaders invited the nrem- bers of the Best Ever Club to a picnic. The Jolly Juniors and the Top Notch Club invited the J. ' T. H. S. Boosters to one and finally in the best spirit of co-operation both picnicking parties feasted together. Aliss Giljiin has had her classes organized into clubs for the past ten or twelve years. Most of these years they have given the greater part of their money for philanthropical pur- poses away from home. They supported nint French orphans and helped starving Russians and Europeans, the near east and others. But this year since we have such a wonderful new building we decided to turn our attention and our treasury toward home Something new! An English club room. It is to be a nice cozy homelike room with a fireplace at once end and book cases full of books on each side and a rug on the floor and a library table in the center of the room with a tapestr} ' cover and tapestry hangings to match and cozy chairs (rocking chairs, too) and lamps and classic pictures on the wall and everj ' thing imaginable. It really sounds too good to be true for school, doesn ' t it ? But we hope it will be true. Then stu- dents can come there and read and look at the pictures, and it will develop their love of cultural and good literature and arts. Some da r we hope to have a projection lantern and even a radio. Each club is to buv something for the room, and it is hoped that the club next year will continue the work. This brilliant idea was suggested by our teacher. Miss Gilpin, and with the co-operation of Doctor Smith and Miss Gilpin ' s help we hope to carry the project through. The five clubs united on this project, and they were so eager to obtain money for their work that they held a bakery sale at which they made about fifty dollars. With this money and a little more they bought Mark Twain ' s complete works in twenty-five volumes and James Whitcomb Riley ' s works in ten volumes for the club room. Then with their dues each class is going to buy something else for the room.

We have a peppy teacher, and everybody in the first public speaking class has caught it. It ' s infectious!! When it was announced that we could have a half page in the Year Book for getting ninety- nine dollars worth of ads and Year Book suljscriptions. everyl)ody got busy and brought home the bacon. But how could our class be otherwise than snappy, for if there is the slightest neglect on the part of the student it calls forth a snappy lecture from our snappy teacher. Our Public Speaking class furnished a good share of the material that made up the cast for the Senior Play, and went over the top in selling tickets for Ijoth the Senior and Junior College plays Now I think you will agree that we are a snappy class, have a snappy teacher and do snappy wcrk. Ruth Brannon. PERIODS 5-6 Dear Jean. Just cast your piercing eyes upcn this picture of the fifth and sixth period public speaking class. Don ' t you envy us? We really are pretty good even if our looks do deceive us. When we go over to the Lutheran church all you can see or hear is pep. There ' s pep in our speeches, there ' s pep in cur actions, there ' s pep in the very atmosphere. Going in and out, Ijackward and forward, pep is just the same in us. We have always been on the job wlien- ever there were play tickets to sell, or some activity to boost either in our school or out- side. Just one hint from me. Jean when you enter J. T. H. S. be sure to sign up for Puldic Speaking. If you like to lie original, here ' s your chance get in your stall. You ' ll have eats, and fun and work and then — you ' ll have a chance to be at last — Like this — Behold! This wondrous class ! Your Pal, Edith Gibler. 11th AND 12th PERIODS Dear Jean : As I was going to my hotel I was surprised to see an undertaker ' s ad which read, Why walk around half dead when we can bury you for a cheaper price? Extraordinary ad? Yet there are many such people. Immediately that brought to mind a picture of the most living and pep- py people I know. They are the 11th and 12th Public Speaking class and their famous in- structor. I had the pleasure of being present at their Valentine and May Day program, their banquet, debates, trial, and Senior Play. I must admit that never, in all my years of travel and experience, have I enjoyed students ' work so thoroughly as I did on these occa- sions. Thev are Public Spirited as well as Public Speaking folk, and they back all the school activities. Although I have gained my fame and am well along in years I still regret not having taken Public Speaking. I will en- close their picture. Your Old Friend, Winnie Jay.

Next meeting Dorothy Emerson and Mattie Brady reported eighty-one dollars worth of ads. That inspired us. We determined to get a full page (one hundred and eighty dollars worth of business!) or bust.

Every Sticker br, ii.t;ht Ins own snb- rvcrijition and one ni ' re extr,-[, ami lliiis we went over the tO]!. Choosing a name for our club was next. Lots of snappy names were suggested until someone nominated LolK ' -pops. This gave our readv- witted teacher. Miss Mabel Hunt, an idea. She .su.ggested Stick-to-it with all of the Stickers sucking lolly-pops (in the picture). Of course the response was unanimous. Miss Hunt treat- ed us to the lolly-pops, and there ' ou are! From the very first dav the . HI English Class, eleventh and twelfth I ' t riods, has been full of iiep d Rt good the class a pleasant hour ii one.

DON ' T USE BIG WORDS In promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observa- tons, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensible- ness, a coalescent consistency and concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affecta- tions. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility with out rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic prefundity, psit- taceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity, and veni- loquient vapidity. Shun double-entrendres, pru- rient jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obscurent or apparent. In other words talk planly, truthfully, sensibly, purely, mean what you say; say what you mean, and Don ' t Use Big Words. States Off Younited. Septober da 10.

That is what a Joliet banker recently said when a fifteen year old boy tO(3k a little money out of his savings account to pay the first premium on a life insurance policy. Being watched with a friendly interest by the banker means a great deal to any young man. Boys and girls with good heads and good health are invited by the oldest life insurance company in America, The Mutual Life of New York, to become members. This company is composed entirely of its policy holders, and they participate in its dividends. Its forms of insurance afford you an investment as well as protection. The e.xamination for insurance is a rather simple matter, but when a policy is issued, it is a sort of certificate that some pretty wise fel- lows in the head office expect you to live a long, long time. Send me your name, address and age, and let me show you how little it will cost for a policy and membership in the good old Mutual Life. Or, if you prefer, you may call upon me for full explanation and figures, or let me call at your home. The Mutual Life insures men and women from fifteen to seventy years of age. This invitation is extended to all. CHARLES A. NOBLE 314 Barber Building Office Phones 265 and 362 Representing The oldest Life Insurance Company in America.

OPP. COURT HOUSE COMPLIMENTS OF Hill Service Station .i};vB; s.jc ;;; Advice to the Juniors Juniors and tliosc who arc interested in the affairs of the High School!! Theoretically it should be an honor to you Juniors to be ad- dressed by a Senior. But the accepted order of things seems to be overturned. When I was told that I was to give the address to the Jun- iors. 1 was informed in this way: The faculty- has decided to confer an honor upon vou : you are to give the address to the Juniors. This seems to prove that instead of its being an honor for the lower classmen to be addressed hy an upper classman, it is now an honor for an upiier classman to address the lower class- men. This is a revolution. Perhaps next year . -ou. the Seniors then, will supijort the Junior- Senior reception. I shall not renn ' nd you of any of your individ- ual mistakes, or of the ridiculous things that some of you have done. In the first place, it is tmfair competition, for you have four years of our school life from which to select ridiculous things, while I have only three of yours. . nd second, it is tmfair because onl - those who know that tlu have nothing worthy to say of themselves trx ' to appear great b - ridiculing others. In this last . ' ear, Juniors, you had three men on the heav weight Basketball team, while the Seniors had two. Vou had three good men on the football team, and the Seniors had nine. Secor on the track team ran away with honors, while our Senior president broke the confer- ence javelin record by hurling it thirteen feet, one inch farther than the previous record. I. less and Wilhclmi made all conference teams. In the Glee Club Seniors were selected as the soloists. In the French Club Seniors held offi- cial jiositions. Including the last two vears the present Senior girls have been the most popu- lar with the R. O. T. C, while in our Sopho- more year one of our oung ladies was a sponsor. I have tried to give an unprejudiced account of the activities of the Senior and Junior classes. . nd from the apj.iearance of that ac- count the Junior class will have to begin their Senior year with an unprecedented change in attitude toward most of the school activities to reach the record set by the Senior class. There IS not enough social intercourse in vour class to put you on a friendly basis with your fellow students. In your Sophomore year vou did not have a Sophomore partv because vou would have had to have it in the afternoon, as all the Sophomore classes have had theirs before . ou. In your Junior ear you did not have a Junior party because you were not energetic enough to collect or make, the monev necessary for both a Junior party and the Junior-Senior Reception, although yon gave the Seniors who attended your reception a very delightful eve- ning ' s entertainment. If you cannot finance our parties, how can ou finance your vear book. It is an unwritten law in the school that each class better the record of the class preceding it. and also add something to the written and unwritten laws cf the school which that class nun- be proud of with the passing . ears. So. Juniors, if ciu live u|) to the established customs of the school and make the record of your class better than the records of the classes preceding, you can readily hear without resentment my reiteration that you must begin your Senior year with an unpreced- ented change in attitude toward school activities. It may be effective for me to tell ou to mend our wa s. Init my problem is to try to show you where ou can improve, because it is only by doing; it is seldom that we cannot think back and see where we could have im- proved our former methods. So. Juniors, I am trying to show you how you may improve upon our Senior year through the benefit of our experience, ( a whisper to the wise is suffi- cient, while a rock stirreth not the soul of a fool. ) So may I hope that you shall use these Continued on pag 197 Oration for Ivy Day Presentation of Betsy Ross Fla,g Friends and Schoolmates : It is with pleasure I accept the honor of be- ing able, as president of the senior class, to present the Betsv Ross flag to vou on our l Day. As I glance at this flag it reminds me of that story of the Battle of New Orleans — how in the midst of shot and shell, a young gun boy, when he saw old glory shot to the ground by an enemy ' s shell, leaped to the top of the forti- fication, and replaced the shattered staffs with a ram-rod, and gloriously it remained where it was stationed. Fellow schoolmates, what was it that prompt- ed a youth of our owm age to do such a peril- ous deed? Was it a command from his officer. ' No! It was a connnand from his own heart, his own soul, to protect the object he loved the best. Oh, what a wonderful appre- ciation of his country he must have had. It was on this occasion nine years ago that the Daughters of the American Revolution presented to the senior class this flag, that means so much to us, that has been an in- spiration to us to be just, and democratic to- nfiuenced these men in influences us in time of wards all. Just e time of war, just peace. The senior class of 2j like a hawk has watched this flag. She has ever kept it floating above her head as a motto. It has spurred us en to greater things. It has made us feel the opportunity it has found for us in the past. We honor and are ever willing to carry out the principles for which the flag stands. When this glorious old flag was handtd down to us last year as Juniors, we were instructed to pass it on, and such has been the tradition of the Betsy Ross Flag. And in turn each class has been responsible for its protection. The senior class of 23 now regrets that its sentinel period has passed. .And there has ever been in our midst, one who has seen that w:- have done our dut - courageously and ri;htl -. and that man has been Dr. Smith. Now as president of the Senior class, in their name, I present to you, Juniors, the Sen- iors of next year, this Betsy Ross flag to be an inspiration, and means of guidance to you; your duty now is to watch and protect this Continued on page 197 l Page One Hundred N.nct.v -three .feD§i 5-: .

Frances — They found about all the records they ' d expected and a lot more too. You should see some of the crazy things they ' ve found — can ' t imagine what they were used for. It certainly must have been a treacher- ous and liarbarous age. L — Have you finished the report iur the archeological society? F — Listen, I ' ll read it to you; see if it sounds all right. (Reading) In the year 1992 the earth shifted about three de.grees two minutes, making the climate of the Great Lakes region much warmer, so hot in fact, that vegetation refused to grow, and the population departed for a more favorable climate. Soon after that the whole world, and especially the continent of Xorth America, suffered a period of violent storms and earthqua kes so that the progressive cities of Joliet, Chicago, Milwaukee, and New Lenox were partially destroyed and embedded. The Great Lakes dried up, and then followed an era of sandstorms. In the year of 2391 the earth returned to its former position: the country became less dry: vegetation again ap- peared upon the land lieneath which the ancient city of Joliet lay buried. Xow, you read awhile. L — (continuing) During this period of time since the 2l)th century, great wars have l)een fought, great nations brought low, small dem- ocracies exalted. Civilization went through a care-free irresponsible stage, and consequently there is little known about many of the famous people who have been reinemliered through the ages because of their great deeds. Research workers have discovered that many of the great people came from the Joliet region and so have been excavating the town and the Joliet Township High School, which was the best school at that time in the world. F — That will put the society to sleep. Funny coincidence; it seems that in the 20th century, they considered some discoveries they ' d made by excavations very important also. Their papers are full of the accounts of finding a King Tut ' s tomb. That wasn ' t anything though compared to finding this whole school. An- other odd thing that the society will proljably appreciate is that the majority of the famous people we were to look up graduated from this school in 1923 — just 2,000 years ago. L — That class must have been unusual. What are these funny looking things? Were they dug. up this morning? Let ' s look at them for recreation — then we will feel more like working. F — All right we may get some information for our report. (Looking at book) The last 20 or 3(.! pages are full of funny, dumb advc- ' ise- tuents. L — How crude! Read some of them; the - sound so senseless. F— Men, If You Want to Look Right to Please ' Her ' , Come to Helen Becker ' s Cloth- ing Store for Men.

A GOOD STORE FOR YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN Hiin.lrcil N Continued from pa; 193 suggestions to strengthen yourselves in the resolution to try harder, and to succeed. When you find everything going wrong, turn that spaghetti spine into an iron rod, and fight for things you sincerely think are right, and you are bound to come out on top. Perhaps some of you are tired of studying and think that you can do better if you leave school for a year, or even do not return at all. If an} ' of you think this way, in the name of all that is for your good, give yourself a good talking to and see that you make up your mind to acquire ail the education you can. For, fellow students, when you leave school and work for a year, you get out of the studying habit, and when the next year comes around, you won ' t want to go back, and in nine out of ten chances ytui do not come back. If you thiuK that you do not need to attend school, remember that there never was a man on earth who really made good with- out a great store of knowledge, and there is no better and quicker way to lay a firm foun- dation for that knowledge than a college or at least a high school education. So, Juniors, it is you upon whom this institu- tion will depend in the following year. You must see that its well founded traditions are carried out, its traditions in athletics, its social affairs, its J and its year book, its Senior play and its Senior memorial. You will be its finished product, to he ashamed of or proud of. So, students, let your standards be of the high- est, your will power strong, and your co-opera- tion great. Then you will be able to set newer and lietter standards of school life, so tb.it we S ;feS = ' of the outgoing Senior class may look back to the old school and see and feel that it is something to be proud of, and that our trust has been given into competent and willing hands.

His fellow brethren deemed it wise To take him down the track And put him in a madhouse Till his wits he should get back. A fast express roared by just then And thru the trio cut ; That evening on the tracks were found Two washers and a nut. A Flapper ' s prayer: Dear Lord. I ask nothing for myself, only give mother a son- Have you ever Been some place And caught the glance Of the prettiest girl There — and have her Smile — a wonderful smile — And walk toward you With both hands outstretched And the loveliest light in Her eyes — .And go right past you and Kiss the boy — right behind you?
