Rear the proud walls, of Joliet High, Where many press with eager zeal To ope the books of science, art ; Oh Fount of Knowledge ! And from the multitude Shall come an elite. Doers of great deeds — Emblazoning the Blue and Gold Upon the great shield of Fame; For men shall know that these proud ivied walls Have mothered genius. Some day along Life ' s Highway, Recalling scenes of other days. There shall a poet come ; And he will sing an ode to thee. Oh Joliet High! — William Randall Greene.

F.T. — Oh! these records, nothing but records. I must bring them up to date. This is tiresome work; sometimes I am tempted to relinquish my duties and entrust them to a younger man. Nothing but write and think and think and write for century in and century out. Let ' s see, the World War — then the World Court — I ' ll have to inscribe here. Is there any other event of import? I think not. Nothing exciting ever happens — G. — Oh yes, F. T., an awful exciting event is going to happen. Our class is going to graduate. F. T. — What — what are you doing here? G. — Why, I ' m a representative of my class. We want you to be sure not to forget in the annals of time all that we have done. F. T. — What class or division of humanity are you speaking of? G. — The class of 1926 of the Joliet Townshi p High School. F. T. — But I can ' t be bothered by such insignificant matters. G. — Just a minute, you don ' t realize what we have done. Surely you have some record of us on your scrolls. F. T. — Well, let ' s see. (fingers through books) Here are some of the facts about your class. Officers during Junior year: First semester: President, Howard Lloyd; Vice President, George Blatt; Secretary, Hortense Pierson; Treasurer, Pauline Riblon.

G. — Oh yes, and they gave us lots of lovely parties. We had a g rand time at the Junior Prom, our first real party, and at the Junior-Senior reception. But it was so hot the night of the Junior-Senior reception that we almost died. And to add to our discomfort the lights went out from some mysterious cause. The G. A. A. parties were — F. T. — Stop, I cannot trifle with such frivolities. G. — But Father Time, don ' t you want us to have a good time? We wouldn ' t be happy if we didn ' t have parties. F. T. (with resignation) — All right, go on — G. — The G.A.A. parties were grand! They were always so informal that it didn ' t take any time at all to feel at home. I remember a Jack and Jill party and the last time we had a barn dance with many old fashioned square dances. The band and the Blue and Gold Club gave a dance every year too. Some of their decorations were so pretty. (Continued on Page 140) yl CLASS DAY SPEECH OF WELCOME By John Furman, ' 26 In beha ' f of the Class of 1926, I bid you all, a most hearty and cordial wel- come to our exercises. The occasion is a happy one, because our work here has been accomplished, yet with the conclusion of our High School days there come saddening thoughts, for we shall, without doubt, miss this school of so many opportunities. We have spent happy days within these walls, and it is not without a pang of regret that we depart from this beloved school, wherein we have encountered joy and sorrow, failure and success. As a Class we have been loyal and devoted to our school, and have tried to help maintain its high standard, both in athletics and scholarship. However most of us are soon to part with some of our best friends; soon to miss the pleasures of our High School days; and soon to enter a less sympathetic environment. But our hope is that we shall carry with us not only such knowledge of books, as we have gained here; but also the finer lessons of Tolerance, Good-sportmanship, and Effective Cooperation, that we have had an opportunity to learn. We have been indeed fortunate in having a superintendent and a faculty who are always striving for greater opportunities for us and greater achievements from us. And I am sure I express the feeling of our parents and friends, who are here this afternoon, as well as that of the Seniors, when I express our appreciation and our gratitude to Dr. Smith and our Teachers. Again we welcome you most heartily. IVY DAY POEM By Leighton Wellman, ' 26 Ivy rare, thou staff of Nature ' s beauty, Thou clinging cloak of green that veils the wall Embracing and shielding its cold rough nudity, — A velvet robe o ' er a leaden pall. Thou, who, awaking at the dawn ' s first light As it streaks in crimson the eastern hall, Canst look into the receding night. And know that before the rising sun Has quenched in the western sea its light, That then thy work so long begun Will be nearer God and nearer done. And may we. too, as we pass thru the strife See in each struggle a milestone of life; May we know that somewhere beyond the bend Lie peace and quiet as we near the end. And know that our work so long begun Will be nearer God and nearer done. Z JPi5 C IVY DAY ORATION By Charles McKeown, ' 26 Fellow-classmates: In the near future, we, the class of 1926 bid farewell to this institution, and may it be with a feeling of pride and achievement that we look back upon our four years of labors and joys spent here. We hope that this class has maintained, or perhaps even excelled, the standard established by our predeces- sors. We are gathered, on this traditional occasion, to plant this Ivy. It has, we see, a common root, but in the following years it will spread, each branch along its in- dividual path; some will force their way to the top, while others, not destined to reach the summit, will extend their beauty along other courses, yet all will be held and nourished by this one root. We find in our lives a parallel of this situation. We have, we hope, established here a firm foundation which will serve each of us in our future lives as the roots of this Ivy 1 nourish each branch in it ' s growth, and although we shall pursue our careers in diverse places, here will be our one founda- tion to which we will ever be bound by the unbreakable ties we have formed. We realize that we owe a debt of gratitude to this school that can never be paid. There is, however, a way by which we can instill a feeling of compensation for th? increased knowledge and enlarged vision which has been invested in us. Only through success can we do this. Here lies our duty. Shall we fail? Shall we brand their training as unfruitful? This school, like a faithful parent, will glory in our successes. Let us, then, not fail in this newest duty, and may our successes ever be a proud reflection on the training we have received here. The current of this training has carried us on like a river, the volume, of knowledge ever increasing and the width of vision ever growing. Our first year in the current was, as it then seemed to us, a series of shallows and reefs. We were entering a new era in our lives, as we are about to do again now, and we were un- accustomed to it. At times we fought the surge of the current, attempting to hinder our progress, but in such times of uncertainty there were those who piloted us again into the channel and renewed our determination. Although this service was un- appreciated by most of us at the time, we look back upon it now with grateful hearts. Few of us would have reached the harbor today had these services not been rendered. The second year we experienced a great change. The channel was already deeper and wider. We were beginning to enjoy the force of it and to work with it. Our duties and the value derived from their accomplishment were better realized. In short, we were beginning to fit ourselves into the life of this institution. Our third year brought a yet greater change. We entered more deeply into the training of vision, developing a broader and more serviceable aspect of life than is embraced in the mechanical and methodical studies alone. And now, the current has already carried us, with a last mighty sweep, through the last year of our high school existence. The bank has been marked on either side ■vith numerous events and experiences. We scarcely lost sight of one, ere others, ' Continued on Page 143) as I32B PRESENTATION SPEECH By Robert Shreffler Mr. Chairman, Dr. Smith, Teachers, Fellow Classmates and Friends: As a representative of the 1926 graduating class, I have the honor of presenting to the Joliet Township High School the class memorial, a trophy case. This we feel is an appropriate gift and represents the efforts of the senior play cast. In it may be kept the honors and trophies of the school, net only those won by former stud- ents, but those also which members of our own class have helped to win — notably the Band Contest trophy — and others yet to be won in the future. It is highly fitting that our class provide a permanent case for the Band trophy, because several members of the graduating class have taken part in all three of the successful con- tests. I cannot tell you how delighted I am to be the means of conveying to you this expression of our united love, esteem and friendship. We could not bear to part with you without leaving in your hands some memorial of deep and abiding gratitude for your ceaseless efforts to benefit us. We feel that this memorial we offer to you is a fitting symbol of our feelings and we know you will receive it gladly as a simple indication of the attachment which each cne of us cherishes for you. You have made our lessons pleasant to us; you have made our school one of the finest and best in the world. We know we have often tried your temper and forbearance, but you have dealt gently with us in our waywardness, teaching us by example and by precept, the advantages of kindness and self control. Here we have been fitting ourselves to take the places of men and women of today. Years hence, you may hear from us as mingling with the great world, help- ing forward, in one way or another, life ' s great work. May our future be as useful as our years of school have been pleasant. Dr. Smith, we thank you and your corps of teachers for all your hard endeavors to do us good. We shall never forget you. We shall look back to this school, not as a place of hard work, but as a scene of mental enjoyment, and whenever memory recalls our school days, our hearts will warm toward you as they do today. Please accept, with this memorial, our earnest good wishes. May you always be as happy as you have endeavored to make your pupils, and may they — nothing better could be wished for them — be always as faithful to their duties as you have been in your duties to them. When in future days you look upon this memorial, let it be a pleas- ant token of the deepest love and reverence of the class of 1926. ADVICE TO JUNIORS By Howard Lloyd, ' 26 Behold! The class of 1926. For four long years we have toiled until new our goal is in sight. The path to success has been rugged and hard, but we have come to our port safe and sound. For three years you have followed closely in the foot- steps of that great and illustrious class, the class of 1926.

SOPHOMORE COMMITTEE Z JOE I32B i : SOPHOMORES The Sophomores have a committee of which Gail Vaggy is chairman, and two capable and peppy faculty advisors, Miss Freeman and Mr. Petersen to carry on the affairs of the class. Carrie Spencer was appointed temporary Secretary by the chairman, and Mr. Petersen acts as Treasurer. About one-third of the 62 boys in the National Championship Band are Sopho- mores. Raymond Tremelling is the solo clarinet player. In such a band it is an honor to our class to be so well represented. The Sophomore class also has leaders. Helen McGinnis is president of the Student Council; Ayres Ricker of the Senior Chorus; and George Switzer of the Biology Club. All of these organizations have Juniors and Seniors as members. The girls ' Sophomore basketball team of which Katherine Abell is captain was considered a worthy rival in the tournament. They won second place. In baseball the Freshman team took first place from us by a score of 23 to 18. In the tennis match for the school championship, Agnes Crossen and Gretchen Wagner won first honors in the doubles. The boys did equally as well as the girls. In the boys ' tennis tournament, Ayres Ricker was a member of the winning doubles team. Gordon Longley was a member of the winning doubles team of the Big Seven Conference tennis tourna- ment. The Sophomores had more on the tennis team than any other class. The Sophomore class furnished the captain of the basketball team, in the person of Don Munch. From the above it can readily be seen that the Sophomore Class really exists.

This great event heralded a triumph for women of America and the continents of Europe, who, after vanquishing all obstacles in the path of progress, have finally reached heights in the industrial world once open only to the masculine sex. Within the vast interior of the Furniture Mart Building were displayed booths rivaling their neighbors in picturesqueness and originality. Costumed musicians threaded the aisles of the spacious building exhibiting their skill upon the accordian, while an orchestra composed of girls sent out waves of harmony. Such was the setting in which was staged the great World ' s Fair. Past generations quoted glibly the phrase, The Woman ' s place is in the home, but such philosophers of yesterday would find their doctrines the subject of ridicule among women of today, for one need but glance at the various booths in the fair to find such banners as the following flourishing everywhere — American Theosophical Society, The Woman ' s Chiropody Club of America, Osteopathic Women ' s National Association, The Woman ' s Trade League of America. If those advocates of that narrow minded doctrine of women and the home could but view this sight, they would gasp with horror and gratefully sink back into oblivion. Since women have been granted the right to vote, they have advanced rapidly in politics until today offices of responsibility are held by women. Their representa- tive at the fair was ihe Illinois League of Women Voters who distributed to the public their bulletin and a minute folder of interest to all, entitled, I am the Eighteenth Amendment. Across miles of wire is borne the voice of the silvery toned operator who questions, Number please? ' ' This industry furnishes employment for hundreds of women, and the fair would be incomplete without a portrayal of this work. Wander- ing around through the aisles of the Mart one stumbled upon a structure bearing the name of The Illinois Bell Telephone Co. Colors of brilliant hues, the gold from the sun, the blue of the seas, the splashes of brilliant orange and the purple glow of twilight all combined in fluttering scarfs on an adjoining wall, symbolized women in the arts of dyeing and painting. And if one but edged to the forefront of this scene he was handed a small bottle of gypsy dye, whose merits only experience will reveal. Many of our ancestors lighted their paths to slumberland by means of candles, but today they are used mainly for decorative purposes. Women exhibitors at the fair presented the process of coloring candles by artificial means, offering as souve- nirs the products of their science. Women have always excelled in the field of personal adornment. Their achieve- ments were shown in Woman ' s Apparel Shops. They enlivened the woman ' s show with fashion parades of pretty models. (Continued on Page 68) E ■ OR 1326 PlLkHERj as Wejt H as IR2R m WHAT ' S THE MATTER WITH THE OLDER GENERATION? By Frances Barclay ' 26 The cause of the delinquency of modern youth is one of the most important questions before the public today. It is discussed from pulpits, in newspapers, maga- zines, and even in homes and schools. As a result of much observation the source of the trouble has been found to rest with the o ' .de- generation; and they immediately rise up in indignation and demand to know what ' s wrong with them. This can be stated in one sentence. Some parents are too lenient; others are too strict. One extreme is as bad as the other. As soon as a medium can be reached between the two, the problem is practically solved. Parents buy cheap literature, attend the movies, (some of which are vulgar even in their commonness), indulge in cabarets and the so-called wild parties. These are the very things for which the younger generation is so strictly censured. Our country, over which the automobile and jazz hold dominion, is in a post war con- dition. But parents should not be so easily tempted. They do not set good examples for us to follow. They do not hold before our eyes high ideals for clean living! They destroy all the shreds of honesty. A child who knows that his father is break- ing the eighteenth amendment, either as a bootlegger or the bootlegger ' s best custo- mer, or overhears his father discussing some means of dodging his debts cannot be expected to have the highest moral standards. Also, what can be expected of a child who hears his mother lie to her friend, her social acquaintances, and even to her husband? And, furthermore, who built the cabarets, the dance halls, and the cheap theatres? Who manufactures the intoxicating liquors that find their way into the pocket flasks of the boys today? And, lastly, who builds the high-powered machines capable of travelling seventy and seventy-five miles an hour? In our city there are not so many of this type as there are in large cities such as Chicago and New York. Parents here have a tendency to be too severe. Xot that they do not love and protect their children, for they do. In fact that is where the trouble begins. They love their children too much. They plan their lives for them from the rattle they play with when babies to the women they should marry when older. Then they say, when the young people refuse to marry to please their parents, that they are no longer respected and obeyed by their children. Either parents do not try to discipline their children until they are older, or else they drive them to submission when young so that one look from their father would cause them to fear him. If a child is spoiled and pampered and petted too much while it is developing, can he be expected to be obedient when his parents attempt to discipline him in the matter of late hours, and his associates, after he has reached early man- hood? And they are not obedient. They either rebel openly or disobey secretly. So many parents forget their youth. They have reached the stage in their life when peace and restfulness seem uttermost in their hearts. Father forgets that he was once the bashful boy who saw mother home from the meetin ' . They are not broadminded, and they certainly fail to keep up with the times. Mother will say. - J Uric] jSZrtS 1326 At Tim e p t ime p eose 4? h t -3Z- 0 7ff moment Dutch oi c tu -a. 7 M fiei 7a Mr. Max we Co t of to ef JDE At set Private cittz ns na ( Continued from Page 64 ) I only had one good dress for Sundays when I was your age. And the daughter does not seem to have persuasive power enough to show her that modern day inven- tions have caused the customs and needs of the modern maiden to advance consider- ably. Many a time, when a child brings home a good report card w-ith one exception his father will say, You received only eighty-five in algebra? When I took algebra I never got below ninety-five. Or maybe the boy starts to tell of some achievement he has accomplished in his daily work, and no one seems a bit interested. What other result could there be but crushed initiative at the superiority and indifference of the parents? Parents break faith with their children. They tell them little fibs to avoid answering their many questions. They do not act chummy and treat their children as pals and companions. Nothing can be sweeter or more wonderful for a boy or girl than to be a true pal with Dad or Mother. This great problem is a community concern. Clubs are formed for business organizations and civic projects. Then why couldn ' t there be some organization founded for the purpose of drawing the child and the parent closer together? Parents should face and recognize the facts, but nothing can be done when Mother plays Bridge every day in the week and Dad is always at the club. However, as serious as this problem is, and as numerous as the obstacles that will confront their path it can be solved if they are only willing to apply themselves whole-heartedly to their task.

AJmjs EC JDIS THE WRESTLERS CLASS MEMORIALS Since time began, people have wanted to be remembered. Many and various have been the ways they have chosen. Some have so lived that they needed no special monument to be remembered. The class of 1901, the first to graduate from the new building, left the statue of the Wrestlers. Each class except 1915 when there were no graduation exercises due to the scarlet fever epidemic has continued this giving of some memorial. 1901— The Wrestlers. 1902 — Pictures of Old Joliet, by Will LaFaver. These are now found in room 299. 1903— Frieze in 299. 1904 — First gymnasium apparatus; parallel bars, and vaulting horses. 1905 — Mural decorations. Scenes from the Life of Joliet and Marquette (over Jefferson street doors). 1906 — Curtain for old auditorium. 1907— Statue of Washington. 1908 — Stage Scenery. 1909— Statuary. 1910 — Marble drinking fountains in halls. 1911 — Money used to further public speaking contest. 1912 — Kiosk, corner of Jefferson and Eastern avenue. 1913 — Victrola. (Continued on Page 207) ns I32B THE WOMAN ' S WORLD ' S FAIR AT CHICAGO (Continued from Page 61) Jewelers flourished their splendors, and the name of Peacock was emblazoned on one of the booths, while banking companies advertised their usefulness to the efficient business women of today. In a corner of the fair were beautiful flowers and that expression familiar to all, printed on distributed leaflets, Say it With Flowers. In the foregoing pages I stated that the woman ' s place was not necessarily in the home, but the f? ; r boasted a section for those who chose a cozy home in prefer- ence to some of the industrial activities of today. The economy kitchen, which emphatically stated that a family could live on $18.00 a week, drew a large crowd of women, while demonstrations of mapleine, salads, pastry dough, jello, and other foods were gazed upon eagerly by the housewives. Cartoonists frequently picture the chagrin of a despairing husband whose wife, according to his notions, simply cannot play Bridge or vice versa. It was therefore amusing indeed to encounter the Bridge booth and receive small booklets upon which was written in conspicuous characters, Do you play Bridge correctly? ' ' Near by, the bookstall was found illustrating its wares by means of clever tableaux of literary characters, and across the aisle, steamship companies, bedecked with banners and illustrative views of other lands, proclaimed travel to be the Greatest Educator. The American News Agency illustrated the circulation of their paper by a life size view of a modern family reading their daily; while Grand Opera singers and a fashion show did their share in bringing the Tribune before the eyes of the public. Distant strains of music and the occasional howls of static agony were an effectual reminder of the radio at the fair. Even anima ' s were present to view this event. A large Holstein cow placidly viewed the crowds, gazing with mild interest at the human cud chewers. A silver fox. said to be worth his weight in gold, slumbered peacefully in his cage, indifferent to those individuals who longed for his fancy coat. Then of course there were numerous refreshment booths, and samples of Fannie May Candies, and Mrs. Snyder ' s Candy, were distributed to the public. Indeed souvenirs ranged from health bulletins to titian or blond hair dyes. A unique idea presented at the fair was that of estimating the weight of people for a nominal fee. If the weigher miscalculated beyond three pounds the actual weight of the individual, the person was presented with a box of chocolates. This idea was a popular one, for the weigher was often incorrect in his appraisals of people. I, being one wrongly judged by appearances, came home with the candy. Other sights and booths too numerous to mention, were viewed at the fair, and one travelled out of the building in a daze. Indeed, I was so bewildered by the variety of sights both of an industrial and pleasurable nature, that I had difficulty in finding the exit to the building, meanwhile murmuring to myself, Show me the way to go home. m as Sixty-Eight J.T.H.S. COACHES Welcome Coach Becker. Coach Becker came to Joliet from Trinity College. He had a reputation of producing winning teams. The football outlook was not very promising, but he worked with the team patiently until he succeeded in producing a winning combination. His basketball outlook was not very good either, but he kept working and produced a team that won the district tournament and finished second in the sectional meet. Coach Fargo. Mr. Fargo has served in the capacity of athletic director and track coach for five years. He has always been ready to lend a helping hand when needed. His work in conducting the tournaments has always been the best that could be obtained, and that is the reason Joliet has such successful tournaments. Coach Wykoff. Wyk, as he is commonly called by all boys who have come in touch with him one way or another, is our lightweight football and basketball coach. His early season basketball outlook was not very promising, but he went about his work and produced a winning team. Coach Ranne. Ranne was the assistant heavyweight football coach. His work helped a great deal to lighten the burdens of Coach Becker. Coach Hufford. Mr. Hufford had charge of the scrub lightweights. The boys in this squad were lads who were too small to play on the lightweight team, but who were interested enough in the game to want to come out and get some experience. fcS -A_ jdis: m : Front Rg — F.

HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL After three weeks of intensive drilling by Coach Becker, Joliet opened the 1925 football season by defeating Spring Valley 20-0. Capt. Bourg scored all three of the touchdowns. Joliet traveled to Glen Ellyn for the second game and defeated Glenbard High in one of the hardest fought games of the season by a score of 20-19. With the score 19-0 against them, Joliet outfought Glenbard, to score 20 points while holding their opponents to nothing. Joliet journeyed to DeKalb to open the conference season. In the opening minutes of play, Joliet rushed DeKalb off their feet, Lennon scoring on a 25-yard off tackle smash. Munch ' s drop-kick was blocked, score 6-0. DeKalb scored in the final period, Thorne completing a screen pass to Rouworth. The try for goal was wild, and the score stood 6-6. Both teams fought desperately, the game ending with the ball in midfield. Joliet played Rockford in the first home conference game of the season. For three quarters the game was largely defensive, then Joliet sprang a strong offensive drive. A 35 yard pass was completed to Sippel. Hawkinson, Rab halfback inter- cepted a lateral pass and tore 75 yards for a touchdown. The try for goal was blocked, score 6-0. Lennon made some good gains, but a fumble occurred and the ball stayed in midfield. (Continued on Page 72) Z JDIS ATHLETICS iGuD BAMTaB « l ctowe s HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL LETTER MEN Bertino — Con was the lightest center in the Big Seven Conference, but a harder and cleaner fighter could not be found. His work was worthy of a place on the all-conference team. Captain-Elect Santoski — Marty was one of the best all around guards in the conference. He will be back next year in the role of Captain. Hilton — Mutt played a consistent game at guard and stopped many a rush with his great bulk. Reidell — Al did not get his chance until about the middle of the season, but from then on he played a great game at guard. Jones — Stan was the best tackle in the conference and his playing was de- serving of all conference honors. Ward — Al was always sure to be the first man thru the line of scrimmage and it was due to this that he was able to block the kick that won the East Aurora game for us. Carey — Greg was a sub guard at the beginning of the season but Coach Becker made him into a first class end. He played his best in the Harrison game. Mills — With thirty pounds more weight Jack would have been the best tackier on the squad. His best games were played at West Aurora and Freeport. Meinke — Fred was one of the best punters in the conference. It was his stellar work at right end that kept the opponents from making big gains around that part of the line. ' -OS rx Lennon — Meat was our best halfback, and he was sure to be found at th: bottom of the pile. John played his best game at DeKalb. Munch — Don played at quarter-back the greater part of the season and as a defensive quarter-back he had few peers. Cardwell — Clint was our regular bull-back. Whenever a few yards were needed, Clint could always be called on to get them for us. Fareell — Al was our sub-quarter-back and although he was on the sidelines with injuries most of the time he was always there willing to deliver the goods. Shurson — Bob ' s specialty was end runs. When he got loose all the oppo- sition could do was to try and catch him. Bob was the only one on the team that gained against Elgin ' s powerful machine. Mowat — Johnny is the only southpaw in the backfield. He subbed at right half and did excellent work in the East Aurora game. John will be back next year. Rentner — Pug our regular right half back was one of the best players on the team. He is only a freshman and he has three more years ahead of him. We can expect much from him next year. HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL (Continued from Page 70) The following week the Blue and Gold warriors encountered W. Aurora at Aurora. The game was played on a field of mud. The Red and Black scored early in the game by a fake place kick. Joliet ' s defense could not stop the end runs of Grass, Aurora half-back, who scored the last three Aurora touchdown . Joliet scored their lone touchdown in the third period, after the Blue and Gold backs had advanced mz as m Seventy-Two i IVW D H the ball to the five yard line. Bourg smashed over for the touchdown, and Ward added the extra point on a place-kick. Joliet traveled to Freeport the following Saturday, but they lacked pep and were defeated 19-0. The Freeport backfield made repeated gains through the Joliet line but were not as successful on the ends. The playing of Ward, Joliet tackle and Jones was what Freeport couldn ' t cope with on end runs. Grell of Freeport starred, intercepting Blue and Gold passes and returning Meinke ' s punts for long gains. In the second home game of the season Joliet defeated E. Aurora here 7-0. In the second half Joliet displayed a strong determination and on the third play Ward blocked Thorpe ' s punt, Meinke broke through scooped the ball up and ran through the entire Aurora team for Joliet ' s only touchdown. Ward place-kicked the goal. For the rest of the game Joliet played a defensive game. In the third period Meinke ' s punt fell short on the Joliet 25 yard line. Thorpe carried the ball to the IS yard line by line plunges. East Aurora lost the ball on downs as the quarter ended. At the begining of the fourth quarter Meinke booted the ball 50 yards to midfield. Joliet lost their last conference game to Elgin 24-0. Joliet held the Maroon- jerseyed for three quarters to a 6-0 score, but in the final period Elgin scored two touchdowns and a place-kick, putting them on the long end of a 25 to score. In the first quarter after Joliet had been penalized to the 25 yard line, Mills tossed a 25 yard pass to Ferran, Elgin left end, for Elgin ' s first touchdown; Morley, Elgin full- ( Continued on Page 77) L UE 123 1326 %AG VAtt O LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL LETTER MEN Seppi — Louie played a stellar game at halfback, and it was his work that helped the team to win the E. Aurora game. Oliver — Early was the smallest quarterback in the conference. He made the touchdown in the East Aurora game. Booker — Bill ' s specialty was nailing the man with the ball on end runs. His work in the Freeport game was the best all season. Wenck — Ed was a steady player who could be shoved into the game at any moment and be relied upon to play a cool game. Howell — Spuds played a good game at guard. It was Spuds who blocked the punt in the E. Aurora game that gave Joliet it ' s lone touchdown. Carneghi — Peno was best blocking punts; but he was equally good at re- covering stray balls during the game. He showed both of these qualities in the Streator game. Bush — Roy had the knack of keeping driving after a man hit him. He was equally good on a dry or wet field. Robison — Bab was the hardest driving back on the team. He was better though, at tossing accurate forward passes. He displayed high powers of leadership too, during the season. Hodge— Al was the lanky (?) man who went back to do the lightweights ' punting. His punting at DeKalb was the best all season long. Paris — Stan was thrust from the backfield into the line and there played the best of all the linemen. In addition he was the punter for the lights. Matteson — Bob showed flashes of real playing in some games. He did his best playing on offense, playing well in the E. Aurora game. jas I32B BuiN U £5 H DDCE HOBCSon Van — Albert was the best tackier on the entire lightweight squad. He played exceptionalh ' well in the Elgin game, continually causing Elgin trouble. Ariagno — Dom ' was not the best forward pass receiver or the best tackier on the team, yet he was the best end, because with what playing ability he had he combined a fighting spirit. De Marco — Frank was one of the quietest players on the team. If he was taken out on one play he was not taken the next play. Meyer — George had the enviable record of playing the whole conference season without losing a minutes time from injuries or otherwise. He was the best man of our secondary defense. Wiezork — Max was a good defensive man, although he is only a freshman. He will probably be a heavyweight next year. LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL The lights opened the 1925 season by meeting the Morris Heavies at Joliet. Although Morris was too heavy for the Joliet lights, fumbles were the cause of Joliet ' s defeat. Morris scored all their touchdowns by picking up the Joliet fumbles or intercepting Joliet passes. Paris played well in the line, although playing against Sleight, giant Morris tackle. The work of Emmerson and Aspel in the backfield showed out above the rest. The local ponies started their conference schedule by dropping a hard-fought battle to DeKalb by a 13-0 score. Fumbles were frequent, in both backfields, due to the water-soaked gridiron. The pony victory of the Barbs was due to their ability in completing their forward passes. Many times the Gold and Black eleven hurled passes that placed them deep in Joliet territory; but never did the Blue and JDIS m 1326 Gold eleven stop fighting. From start to finish they displayed real football spirit. Aspel was the best ground-gainer for Joliet. The Joliet ponies displayed a great improvement and a new determination to win, holding the Rockford ponies to a scoreless tie. Fumbles were few, and both elevens played well. The Joliet ponies could not pierce the strong Rockford line, but Rockford had the same trouble with our line. In the last half Rockford gave every- thing they had, including numerous wild passes, and a number of strangle holds. Emmerson and Aspel played well on defense, but were helpless on offense. Joliet met its second conference defeat of the season when they met West Aurora at Aurora. The fast Aurora eleven beat the ponies 13-0. Joliet ' s defeat was due to their consistent fumbling, although the Aurora ponies had all the breaks going their way. Joliet, with practically a new backfield beat E. Aurora 6-0. The touchdown was made early in the first period after Howell had blocked a punt on Aurora ' s 3- yard line. On the next play Oliver carried the ball over for a 6-0 score. Joliet played a defensive game the remaining three periods. E. Aurora tried many passes, but the conditions of the field did not allow success in passes. This was the first conference victory for the lights. The entire team played good football and deserved to win by a longer score. The Blue and Gold ponies lost their last conference to Elgin by a 13-0 score. Elgin scored early in the game after Joliet had fumbled a punt. They scored their last touchdown when Kachis, left halfback, went off tackle 25 yards. The teams were almost evenly matched. The line of Joliet was superior to Elgin ' s but the Blue and Gold backfield was greener than Elgin ' s. The playing of Van and Howell E JOB x 1326 lb ,7 XON-LETTER MEN L. Kelly. Carlson, E.

He scored the first by a pretty catch behind the goal off a fake place kick, and scored the second touchdown after picking up a punt, which Bertino had blocked, Ward drop-kicked goal after all three touchdowns. Harrison scored their only touchdown after Meinke had his punt slip off his foot M go out at the 10 yard line. Jones scored Jo ' iet ' s last touchdown after a 20 yard smash through the line. The work of Bertino and Santoski in the line was especially noteworthy.

Chuck played a clean game and made it tough for the opposition while in the fray. Kirincich — Jim played guard and together with Ariagno they made an almost air tight guarding combination. Kirincich was cool under fire and played an unusually clean game both of offense and defense. Kaatz — Wally played the bench most of the season but could always be counted on to take his man out and drop in a basket at the critical moment. Munch — Don was captain of this year ' s squad. This lad made second team all conference guard. It was Don who sunk the shot that proved to be the winner in the New Trier game. Bush — When a fellow makes six out of seven foul heaves he can ' t be classed as a slouch. That ' s what Jimmy did during the season. Bush is only a freshman. Watch him, he has three more years. Ward — Al was the boy with the fighting heart. During the season he scored sixteen points. Six of the sixteen points were scored on free throws. HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL (Continued from Page 78) Joliet trounced W. Aurora by an eight point margin. The first period showed Joliet leading by a single point, but after that they were never in danger.

When Coach Becker wanted the ball started down the floor fast, Greg went in. Meinke — Fred scored 156 points during the season. Although he moved slowly he cou ' d always be counted on to be in the right place at the right time. We will miss Meinke next year. Lewis — Bob was one of the best guards turned out on the local courts in many years. Although he was ineligible after the mid-semester it was his work that helped to win our early season games. Rentnek — Pug played at center and during the Belvidere game he scored seven points. Rentner was fourth in the list of scorers for the team, scoring 23 points.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL Joliet lights opened the 1925 season by defeating the Harrison Tech ponies by a 26-24 score, after two overtime periods. Captain Robison was high point man with 3 field goals and 3 free throws, but Young was close with 3 field goals and a free toss. The following night Joliet encountered Lakeview lights here. The whole squad lost their basket eye and could not even hit the rim. The squad suffered a relapse after their good playing in the Harrison game. The following evening the lights met the Morris ponies. The final Score was 19-6. Better team work and better passing between the players marked the game. Robison was high point man with 3 field goals and 1 free toss. January 8, the lights went to Elgin and lost a heart-breaking struggle 16-15. Inability to make free throws lost the game. The game was fast, but team play differed in the few minutes of play. January 9, the lights met Morris at Morris. This time the score was 20-14. The spectacular shooting of Jones, midget Morris forward kept Morris from being swamped. Robison and Ferguson were the leading point getters. DeKalb came here the following week. The game was furiously contested. At the end of the regular game the score stood 22-22. Overtime periods were necessary for DeKalb to emerge victorious 26-24. The next night the Blue and Gold lights lost to Belvidere 13-8. The floor space handicapped our boys, there not being enough space on the playing floor for 10 men and 2 referees. m □5 t— r-JkJ Eighty-One 1326 FERGUS ON N H0BBIN5 JO HANMSEN LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL LETTER MEN Young — Ned was a player whom every one considered out of place, but at the end of the season, Xed was second to Robison in scoring points. Ferguson — Ev was better on defense than on offense, and when he was in the game he made things hum. Johannsen — Chuck was the third of the party of three that came over from the lights to help strengthen the heavyweight squad for the tournaments. Chuck played a good game and with a few more pounds weight he would have played first team. Robbins — Homer was the long shot artist on the squad. His playing was best in the West Aurora game. Robison — Bab came over from the ponies after the conference season. Bab was second in line for high point scoring honors during the Sectional tournament. Robison will be back with us next year. Bush — Roy was a good sub, because he did not have back fever or other kinds of nervousness. Ariagno — Dom played lightweight basketball during the conference season. He played with the heavies during the district and sectional tournaments. It was Dom who sunk the free throw that won the Elgin game. Emmanuelson — Red was injected into a game by Coach Wykoff to put pep in the game. Maybe his red hair put some pep in it. mz JDIS 1926 m -V W? 8f p 7 ' p. EllAMUtLSON T?

Robbins, scrubbing for Ferguson, showed the fans some spectacular long shots. The Saturday night following the W. Aurora game, our ponies trimmed the Lindblom light 33 to 15. Robison and Young were again high points scorers. The next Friday night our lights went to Rockford. They were hot and Rock- ford was swamped 46-23. Robison scored five field goals, Ariagno four, Young and Robbins three apiece. Belvidere lights came here the night after the Rockford game. Our ponies obtained revenge for that 13-8 beating at Belvidere, by drubbing them 32 to 13. Robison scored four field goals and Young and Bush two apiece. The following Friday Freeport came here. The spectacular basket eye of Robi- son, Joliet forward, gave the Blue and Gold minors the edge 25 to 23. Robison scored 8 field goals and 2 free throws, most of his field goals being shot from the center. The guarding of Johannsen was a feature in this game, although Ferguson, man playing center, played an excellent brand of ball. The lights did not play the next night but rested. The next game was with E. Aurora at Aurora. The Blue and Gold ponies were not hot on their shots, but Young and Robbins came through. Coach Wykoff will have every member of his regular team back with the ex- ception of Ferguson, who graduates. The other members of the squad who graduate are Smith and Emanuelson. y - JDIS I32G TOURNAMENT BASKETBALL SQUAD DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Joliet romped over Dwight in a decisive fashion in their first game of t he district tourney. The downstaters were unable to score a field goal during the entire game. The final score was 32-4. Lockport was Joliet ' s second foe. The first half of this game was fast and furious, but after the half Lockport seemed to tire and Joliet ' s steady pace carried them on to victory. The final score was 34-15. Meinke took individual scoring honors sinking five field goals and two free tosses. The Blue and Gold aggregation chased Odell, Livingston county champs, to the showers with their first defeat of the season. The game ended with Joliet on the better end of a 27-23 score. Joliet went into the finals with seven straight wins and a.- determination to make it eight. The crowd of 3000 fans which gathered to see the battle, saw Joliet come from behind and win 26-18. Gardner battled valiantly but was unable to stem the tide. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Joliet met Morrison in the first battle and turned them back by the overwhelm- ing score of 35-17. Ariagno and Kirincich played a good defensive game, while Meinke, Munch and Robison played an equally good game of offense. New Trier was Joliet ' s next foe. New Trier came into the fray with eighteen straight victories and highly confident of adding the Blue and Gold warriors to their list.

This squad won four dual matches and tied two with other schools. Lockport was Joliet ' s first opponent and we defeated them 4-0 winning both singles and doubles matches. East Aurora came to Joliet hoping to defeat our boys, but they were disappointed as they were awarded an even break . Joliet won the doubles and East High the singles. Joliet defeated Morris 5-0 on the Washington courts. Morris was outclassed in every department of the game. Elgin was our next opponent and they were defeated in straight sets. Joliet again winning both the singles and doubles matches. The final dual meet of the season brought Chicago Heights to our city. We defeated them 6-0 winning every match. Chicago Heights did not have a look in during the entire match. We traveled to East High for a return match on the following Saturday and again we broke even by winning the doubles and losing the singles. Longley, Young, Lloyd, and Touzalin represented Joliet at the State meet and although they failed to place, they played a good brand of tennis. Joliet won the doubles and East Aurora won the singles in the Big Seven Conference meet held here, on the Washington courts. V - v.

Molle TPACK— 1925 Joliet had an excellent track team in 192S, winning all their dual meets by large scores, and placing well up ne?r the top in the Big Seven Conference meet. The first meet of the season was with East Aurora at Joliet. Orlovich and Moller were high point men with three firsts. With the score deadlocked it was up to the Joliet relay team composed of Longley, Ferguson, Shurson, and Orlovich. The next meet was with West Aurora. Joliet won with a total of 81 points to 50 for West Aurora. Orlovich again won three firsts, while Moller copped the 120 high hurdles and the high jump. In the last dual meet of the season, Joliet defeated Englewood High School of Chicago. The Joliet relay team made the fastest time of the season, negotiating the distance in 1 :36. Joliet traveled to Urbana the following week for the State meet. Orlovich won the 440 yard dash in 51 3-5 seconds, creating a new state record. McClure won third place in the discus throw, while Ward copped fourth place in the low hurdles. The relay team failed to place. The next meet was the Big Seven Conference meet held at Aurora; Joliet finish- ed third with 23 points. Orlovich broke the conference record for the 440 yard dash. Ward lowered the record for the low hurdles, and the relay team created a new mark for the half mile relay. Joliet won four first places breaking three records and yet did not win the meet. Z : DE Eighty-Six 1326 R. B. ORLOVICH R. B. Orlovich star quarter miler of the class of ' 25 and incidentally holder of the State record for this event began his track career in his junior year. He won the 440 yard dash in all the dual meets Toliet participated in that year, and he also won his race at the Big Seven Conference meet held in Elgin. During the season of 1924 Borgia won seven first places and scored 41 ' 4 points. Borgia ran the quarter in 49:4-5 seconds in a dual meet during the early part of the season. He cli- maxed his season ' s record by win- ning the quarter in the record break- ing time of 51:3-5 seconds. The record established by Martin of Oak Park in 1908 had stood the test for seventeen years until Orlovich smash- ed it by one-fifth of a second last year. Borgia also created a new conference record when he clipped two and four-fifths seconds off the old record. He scored 57 points dur- ing the season and it was his running that won the conference relay champ- ionship for Joliet. Orlovich received a scholarship at the University of Illinois for his ex- cellent work in athletics and aca- demic subjects.

The first meet was with East Aurora at Aurora. Aurora won the meet 89 to 42. Ferguson starred for Joliet winning first in the 50 and 100 yard dashes. The fast half mile relay team also copped a victory, winning by more than 40 yards. Joliet met Batavia in the next meet and emerged victorious 87 to 44; winning ten firsts to five for Batavia. Joliet scored a slam in the first half mile when Oakes, Robison and Shurson finished in the order named. The relay team won in the fast time of 1 :35 1-5. At the sectional meet for qualifiers to the state meet, held at East Aurora, Joliet placed fourth in the final summary, scoring 201 2 points. Ferguson copped second in both the 50 and 100 yard dashes. Oram won fifth place in the century dash. McKeown took second in the broad jump; Shurson and Rentner placed fifth in the 440 and high jump. The next week the relay team and Charles McKeown traveled to Urbana for the State meet. The relay team won third place, largely due to the running of Ernie Oram. Two national interscholastic records were equalled and three state records were broken at this meet which was won by Senn High School of Chicago. 2 □5 TT-r-iuJ Eighty-Eight Gen feres of ottro ct on My h e ro A oboord Wk Mm.

During the fall the girls have hockey and soccer; in the winter months basket- ball ; and in the spring, tennis, baseball and track. The freshmen have a representation of 68 aspirants for spring sports. The sophomores a re next in line with 25; the seniors have twenty, and juniors IS. There are 128 girls out for baseball. A baseball tournament between the classes was staged the latter part of May. A tennis tournament is also played for the school championship. Rachel Hill took the championship for the seniors in 1925. Track for girls was started in 1925 and it is with us again this year. An inter- class meet is held after the practice session. Last year the seniors copped the meet with a total of 291 j points, twice as much as the sophomores who took second place. The track events for the girls are, high and running broad jump, basketball, and baseball throw, and 100 yard dash, and relay. The 1925 track season was a successful one. Those who made the track team were, seniors: Erickson, Groth, Greenwood, Hill, Minert, Hartman, Engwall, Palmer; juniors: Watjus, Tremelling, Robbins, Henderson; sophomores: Schultz, Querio, Hynd; freshmen: Almberg, Keagle, Schwab, Abell, Jackson. The 1925 baseball tournament was won by the freshmen. The girls do not indulge in athletic events only, but have many social events also. The first party we had was a freshman welcoming party. We also held an annual G.A.A. party March 26, in the boys ' gym as a barn dance. We had a mother and daughters ' tea also. On May 14 we had a party given by the sponsors. X as 1326 FRESHMAN iy, B.

Freeport came to Joliet and went home with the locals ' scalp in their hands. McClanathan, Kieth, and Stimpert were the mainstays of the Pretzel offense. Meinke scored four ringers and two free tosses for a grand total of ten points. The final score was 2 7-15. Joliet ' s next victim was East Aurora. The Blue and Gold warriors trounced the Red and Black clad men by the overwhelming score of 34-10. Meinke and Bush were instrumental in Aurora ' s defeat. Meinke scored eleven points and Bush, his running mate, chalked up ten markers. The following day Joliet made it two straight by turning back Argo to a 35 to 10 tune. The Starch City lads were held to three field goals, while the locals gathered sixteen. Coal City went down to defeat in a walkaway contest. The final score showed Joliet on top of a 23-10 score. Joliet is showing a decided improvement over each of its preceding starts. West Chicago came to Joliet only to be chased home with another defeat added to their list. The game was featured by very close guarding. The visitors were allowed only one field goal. The other five points came as a result of free throws. The final score read Joliet 23; W. Chicago 7. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT (Continued from Page 84) throws. At the beginning of the third period the score was tied at 11 all. Then with but one period to go Joliet stepped out and sank the points necessary to win the game. By beating New Trier Joliet won the right to play in the semi-finals. Their next foe was Elgin. Elgin beat Joliet 32-13 earlier in the season, but this meant nothing to the scrappy machine strengthened by Robison and Ariagno from the lights. Going into a battle which no one but themselves and the coach believed they could win they did the unexpected and won by a margin of one point. The half ended with the score tied at seven all. Elgin took the lead and held it the entire third quarter and seven minutes of the last. Then with but one minute to play Ariagno dropped in a free throw that tied the game. Elgin tried desperately to score, and in their attempt they fouled. Then Ariagno dropped in the never-to-be-forgotten toss that won the game. The final score was 15-16. Joliet played Freeport in the final game. Joliet had played and won three close games, while the Pretzels had played but two, and these two were won by fairly comfortable margins. Thus it was a case of a tired good little team going down to defeat before a good big team. Joliet was leading at the quarter, but after this they tired rapidly, and Freeport went on to victory. The final score was Free- port 29, Joliet 13.

The members of the club are men who have earned a letter in some sport in the school. Each member must tune up to the rules of the organization or he is dismissed from it. During the year the club has made up a constitution. Although the club had been going for a number of years they had no definite laws. The dance, which was held in the gym, was as usual one of the best of the year. The gym was decorated in balloons and colored streamers making a very pretty effect. The club also had pins made, which have a. gold and blue background and gold border. Club members were care-takers for the visiting teams during the tournament. The duties of these men are to meet the team at the station, escort them to their hotel, and while the men are on the playing floor, take care of them in any wav that thev can. ru - . as: A JDE y l I92B THE BIOLOGY CLUB Elizabeth Henderson, ' 28 President George Switzer Vice President Ayres Ricker Secretary Frances Green Treasurer Robert Folk The Biology Club is a thriving society organized to promote interest in biology and to give an opportunity to pupils who particularly like the subject to learn more about it than they have time for in their regular class work. Anyone taking b ' ology, botany, or zoology and maintaining an average of eighty three or above may belong to the club. Four points on the monthly grade are awar- ded to those attending the meetings and taking the required number of notes. Six points are earned by those who contribute to the program either by reading a paper or by giving a talk. The organization is governed by a group of students standing high in their class work who are called the senate. The officers are nominated by a committee of senators and then voted upon by the senate body. The club meets the last Thursday of every month in the new music room. Its meetings start promptly at four o ' clock and close at five. Many interesting and instructive programs were presented during the year 1925- ' 26. Chief among these was a meeting devoted entirely to becoming acquainted with some of the material in our excellent museum. Volunteers w ' ere called for in each class to give a three minute talk on any one subject in the museum. For ' this happy thought we owe a debt of thanks to Irene Schwab. Class cases containing the speci- mens may be found in practically all of the botany, zoology and biology class rooms. This material, Mr. Givens says is not for the biology classes alone but for every one in the school. Those taking advantage of Mr. Givens ' kind invitation will see many new and interesting things. Among them are a valuable amber collection, pearl shells, rare stones, petrified wood, Indian and Eskimo collections and strange animals. Titles of papers and speeches given at other meetings follow: Penguins , Fishing . Migratory Birds . Dogs ' , Insect Pollination , Honey Bees , Poi- sonous Plants , Ants , Trees and their Environment , Mrs. Carroll ' s Garden , Corn and Wheat Insects , Sacred Beetle , Sand Dunes and Swamps , Life of Luther Burbank , Seed Testing , New Plants Developed by Luther Burbank , and Jungles of Peru . The last speech was given by a young man who is attending our Junior College and whose home is in South America. Several cf th?ss talks were illustrated by colored pictures thrown on the screen. A picnic at West Park was planned toward the end of the semester, but rainy weather prevented it. We shall hope for better luck, or rather, better weather, next vear. — J Ut-1u - - I9Z6 J3S Row— R.

This probably is true of outsiders, but not so of the Camera Club of J.T.H.S.! What would the Year Book be without the silhouettes and snap-shots which we arrange? There ' s just loads of fun in this club too, besides the educational merits. Last spring we took enjoyable hikes to Pilcher and Highland Parks, and we snapped a few of the beauty spots of Joliet. Among them is the new sun dial of Pilcher Park. Then, we also had an evening meeting this semester at which we learned the process of developing pictures. Leah Emdin gave a talk on it. and Ruth Schultz spoke about Snow Pictures. Then we developed pictures the rest of the evening. Have you noticed our new glass covered bulletin board? If you haven ' t, you ' ve mi£sed something, for every few weeks there is a new enlargement of some beautiful scene. Watch it and you will see what we mean by artistic and good pictures.

Ryan Le Cercle Francais, composed of members of the advanced French classes, has for its purpose the greater appreciation and knowledge of the French language, coupled with the aim to give and gain pleasure. That we have, to a certain extent accomplished our primary aim is evidenced by our wonderful grades; but our second- ary purpose has undoubtedly been realized. Interesting French programs were presented at the monthly meetings in October and Xovember. The December program was a playlet La Gallette des Rais sug- gestive of the Christmas spirit. Gallette and bon bons were enjoyed by the audience whose vocal chords were later exercised by singing Noels. At the first gathering of the second semester, new officers as listed above, were elected. Many new members were initiated, French games were played, and French valentines exchanged. One of the most enjoyable programs of the year Xicette was given at the April seance.

All these class clubs are considered units of the Gilpin English Club. All students who have been mem- bers, and all present members are life-long members of this club. Each of the five English classes has its own club and its own officers. The only permanent officers are the treasurer and the members of the flower committee. The rest of the officers are temporary, thus giving every member an opportunity to hold an office. The temporary officers are: president, secretary, program chairman, critics, and judges of election. The emblem of the club is a gold keystone with a black background bear- ing the letters G.E.C. (Gilpin English Club). This emblem is in the form of a pin which may be worn by all of the members. At last Miss Gilpin ' s dream is a reality, for we have an English Club with a club-room in our school. The club has been established for many years; but on ac- count of the unsettled conditions, while additions were being made to the school, it has not until this school year had a set club room. Now we come to the financial standing of the club, and what do you suppose is the backbone or support of it. It is thrift! Thrift, the foundation of a fortune! Thrift, which should be enshrined in every true American ' s heart! Statistics show that the people of the United States are the most extravagant people in the world. Let us strive to control our enormous waste. Through thrift the club has furnished its club-room with everything that would create a warm and friendly atmosphere. It has on the walls pictures which are copies of some of the world ' s masterpieces. Each member of the club enjoys the faithful and undying friendship of the collection of the great literary works. The room has much more equipment, such as the beautiful library table, the large leather chair for visitors, the massive filing case, the magazine case, the reed table lamp, the candle lamps on the mantel-piece, the large mirror; but the fireplace requires special mention, because it is the chief factor in producing a home-like appearance in the room. The club has also taken on the attitude of charity, which is a very considerate service to the community. It has aided in the selling of Christmas seals, contributed to the Near-East Relief, and sent private contributions to the starving in Europe. But where did the money for these things come from? The answer is that the members are making certain sacrifices such as not going to so many movies, which are corrupting the youth of today; the students saving the nickels and dimes which they would spend for candy or chewing gum; and not wanting to buy every- thing one sees. As a result of this interest in the club and club-room each student is developing along with his education an appreciation of finer and better things. We, the future citizens and probably leaders in this great country, feel that we have a debt of gratitude to this honorable teacher in the great service she has per- formed for us; for where could there be a better place than in school for elevating the minds and ideals of our youth?

FRIENDSHIP CLUB Have you heard of the Senior Shorthand Friendship Club? Well, the Joliet Township High School boasts another club recently organized this semester, and it ' s just the group of energetic seniors, members of Miss Higgins ' shorthand class, who have organized this club for the purpose of furthering friendships among their class- mates now and in after years. Incidentally they act as good Samaritans, for any classmate afflicted with any of the numerous diseases of mankind is remembered by the distribution of cheer in the form of flowers and cheery notes. This enterprising organization has as its president Betty Powell, well qualified to hold this position, Elizabeth Murdie, our happy-go-lucky secretary-treasurer, who displays her Scotch traits in the discharge of her monetary duties, and Mary Ferry, our reporter, who delights us with her merry wit. All work and no play make Jack and Jill dull children; so this organization endeavors now and then to study with pleasure as demonstrated by our recent trip to Chicago to the Woman ' s World ' s Fair, Marshall Field and Company and Hull House. A handsome bus with almost room enough for all was secured, and after a busy day in the city, it was a tired but happy group that climbed into the bus again, homeward bound. It is the hope of this organization that it will not terminate at the closing of the school year, but will continue even after the portals of the high school have :losed behind it. UE m One Hundred Four DER DEUTSCHE KRAXZ President Walter Herschbach Vice-President Eloise Kohlagen Secretary Harry Perrin Treasurer Helen Stoddard Sponsor Miss Heilscher An infant organization of the school is the Deutscher Kranz, which was born in October, 1925. The aims of the club are to acquaint pupils of the German classes with the customs of the German people and to promote a social spirit among the members by singing German songs and holding conversation in German. Meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of each month, one meeting being devoted entirely to business, songs and conversation; the other to a definite program. Two programs have been given, one to illustrate the St. Martini celebration in Germany on Novem- ber 10, the other, a German Christmas. Members of the German classes dramatized both of these. Solo musical numbers were given also. The Christmas party, moreover, introduced German cake and candy to the members and guests. There were German Torte, Pfefferkuchen, and Marzipan. The officers for the second semester were: President Walter Herschbach, Vice- President Russell Attaway, Secretary Helen Stoddard, Treasurer Getchen Schuessler. orS — JOB m : One Hundred Fivt GIRL SCOUTS Sponsor Miss Pha Ruggles Captain Mrs. Watson First Lieutenant Loretta Metheny Second Lieutenants Jean Grant and Ramona Powell During the last football season, we sold some of those hot-dogs that warmed you up so that you could yell louder for our team. Then we also did selling at the basketball sectional tournament. This time you did not need something to warm you up; so we succeeded in selling a great number of Eskimo Pies. But selling is not all we ' ve done. Our Scout slogan is: Do a good turn daily. We do this and more. On Christmas Eve we wanted to cheer as many as possible; so we went all through the l oop stores singing carols. But the listeners were not the only happy ones, as the scouts were living up to their law: A Girl Scout is Cheerful. We never lose out on a good time. During the year we went on a hike to the tourist camp, where we cooked a lunch and played Scout games. Then someone suggested. Let us go through the haunted house. The suggestion was agreed upon unanimously. We went through it all including the secret passageway, and no one regretted seeing light again. In February a girl scout investiture was held in the high school gymnasium. Many of the scouts received merit badges and second class awards. We certainly are a peppy bunch of girls, and we all believe that the more the merrier. Ramona Powell. 7J PS m One Hundred Six Front Row— G. Braun, G. Leupold, Dag R. Bates, A. Ricker. R.

Plummer The fourth year of successful service is being concluded by the Hi-Y Club. The general plan followed this year with a few variations, was to have speakers and discussions on alternate Tuesday evenings. A Bible discussion class was inaugurated for the first time this year with an average attendance of about fifteen. A great deal of good was derived by the fellows from this phase of the Hi-Y work. An extended four C ' s campaign was held, and three of the speeches were completed. The subjects of the four lectures to be given were the four planks of the Hi-Y Platform. The first was given by Dad Eliot, on Clean Living, ' ' Nov. 23. The second, on Clean Speech, by Owen E. Pence, December 7. The third on Clean Athletics was given by Tug Wilson. The address on Clean Scholarship is still pending. A bulletin board was made and put up in the hall near Room 223. A very active part was taken in the Y.M.C.A. campaign . A Hi-Y division was formed under the management of J. Otis Freeze and Rodney Balensiefer, with George Braun, Albert Xoble, Ayres Ricker and Russell Robinson, captains of the High School (Continued on Page 110) K as US One Hundred Seven 1926 n J2d I -HI STARS President Elda Kelly Vice-President Ethel Sippel Secretary-Treasurer Betty Dames One of the most interesting and helpful organizations in the school is the J-Hi Stars under the direction of Miss Mather. Early this year the organization was divided into groups, and a certain girl from each group was appointed to head it. Any girl was permitted to make her choice of groups. The purpose of the organization is to promote closer relations between the Junior girls; and to help the poor and needy. True to these it has already succeeded in fulfilling the latter by the Christmas baskets that it furnished to the poor. The girls contributed the necessary foods, and the group leaders distributed them. E DIB m One Hundred Eight iaz6 M On the particular day of distribution, one might have seen the girls entering the shabby homes, delighting the inhabitants with their useful gifts. The J-Hi Star girls do not believe in fu ' nlling their purpose incompletely, for they have already established a closer relationship between the Junior and Senior classes, which without this organization would be impossible. All work and no play makes Jean a dull girl. The J-Hi Stars held an at home to the mothers of the members, women mem- bers of the faculty, and all girls of the school, Saturday afternoon, April 24, from three o ' clock to five. Four hundred attended the first affair of this kind to be given in J.T.H.S. The J-Hi Stars dance was held Friday, May 21, in the boys ' gym. This was the first party conducted for the whole school.

THE AD BOOSTERS Each year it has been the custom of the year book staff to form an Ad Boost- er ' s Club, composed of all who secure ads for the year book. A picture of the group is always published. Those in the group are: Vernon Barnes, Margaret Kertes, June Hutchinson, Dorothy Rodgers, Sara Balchowsky, Arnette Johnson, Miriam Cohan, Stanley Jones, Ethel Sippel, Mary Louise Wardley, and Henrietta Raddatz. Vernon Barnes has secured the most ads totalling around S400. Margaret Kertes is next with about $200. Each year at class day exercises a silver medal is awarded to the one securing the most ads. This year it goes to Vernon Barnes. THE HI-Y CLUB (Continued from Page 107) teams, and Philip Booth, captain of the Junior College team. Over $4,400 was raised, of which Al Noble raised more than SI, 000. The Older Boys ' conference at Champaign was attended by eleven Hi-Y fellows and two leaders. The delegates were Richard Baldwin, George W. Braun, Roger Conant, J. Otis Freeze, Christian Hansen, Ralph Hilton, Robert Humphrey. Ralph Morgan, Albert C. Noble, James Lawrence, Charles White, Sir.

To us it is a red letter day, for that day the Contio Quiritium was organized. It was the beginning of a series of joyous days. The third regular meeting in room 285 was followed by a de ' ightful evening at Miss Anderson ' s. The occasion was a banquet for which Miss Anderson was so kind as to open her home. Once assembled, we were seated at the barquet board, and as our feast proceeded, it was enlivened by clever conundrums. Hannah Johnson, a second year Latin student acted as slave, and Mr. Grose proved himself very clever at puns. The rest of the evening we were entertained by Robert Weaver, Charles McKeown, Edna Schuster and Hor- tense Pierson all of whom exhibited their musical talent, each in his own line. This was the first cf our social meetings. More are being planned. Our organization has existed only since February, and our membership is limited to Virgil, Cicero and All Latin students; yet we number twenty-two. Anne Brannick, Scriba. JOB ££ One Hundred Twelve THE W. H. W. PHYSIOGRAPHY CLUB A number of students in physiography this year found the subject so interest- ing that they wanted more time to delve into its fascinating depths than they could find in three short periods a day; so they asked that an organization be formed in which they could study more advanced problems connected with the What and How of the World. This club has met each week for forty-five minutes of reports on explorations in strange regions, on somewhat technical studies of earth structure, and for delightful histories of human development under various primitive and modern conditions. Some of the reports that were received from these ninth graders have been of good college rank, and all connected with the club feel that an enjoyable and constructive year has been spent. P S.

Dickinson Reporter Katherine Dunham Critic Dick Baldwin Censor Alice Fitch Swish! The book of J.T.H.S. organizations clo;es upon the Scribblers ' Club. Snap! Joyfully it opens to the new Public Speaking Club. With the growth of journalism classes, Miss Hunt, year book organizer and supervisor had plenty of help. So the Scribblers ' Club made up of the four public speaking classes disbanded permanently and became the snappier, more active public speaking c ' ub. Of course this was all done at the suggestion and under the guidance of Miss Lena M. Dickinson, head of this department. Through the courtesy of Miss Humphrey of the Home Economics department, we secured the lunchroom for our first meeting. Over a hundred enthusiastic mem- bers turned out, and the above were elected for term offices. We have since then been entertained by different churches, including the Universalist and First Baptist with Mr. Macpherson and Mr. Carman as speakers. To go back to recent history, it would probably be interesting to the reader and an added inducement to juniors not certain of taking public speaking to tell of our activities in connection with ath ' etics. It is well known around school that if a thing is to be put over efficiently, in fine style, and in a short space of time, it is extremely advantageous to get Miss Dicky behind it, ' ' and Miss Dicky in turn calls on and leads her classes. We took an especial interest in athletics this year. At the beginning of the football season we met in room 287 to organize songs and yells and a ukelele club for the games. We all had season tickets, and rain or shine (mostly rain) the public speaking club did their bit in their section. We changed around the words of popular songs and made peppy football songs for the ukelele club and its supporters. This spirit was continued throughout the basketball season in the form of an enthusiastic block section. It was after our new club was formed that most of the senior play cast was chosen. We have a song dedicated to us by Katherine Dunham, responsible for words and melody and Ethel Fuqua for writing out the music. Miss Isabelle Boyd of the music department revised it, and Miss Dickinson put it before the public. ' ' The Public Speaking Club is signing off now, wishing everyone a happy vaca- tion until next September. Katherine Dunham. One Hundred Fifteen First Row-Toby Balchowsky, Sara Balchowsky.

It seemed that every time we had a rifle meeting four out of the five guns were out of commission. Thanks to Captain Renth. toward the end of the semester we finally received some good equipment. Louise Romano is our best member. She is shooting for her second bar. Sara Balchowsky is only a leap behind as she is shooting for her first. Ethel Sippel and Dorothy Kuehne are shooting for their sharpshooter medals. The remainder of the members are shooting for their first medal. We work hard shooting and it is hard on the unit; so we all voted to have uniforms of heavy khaki cloth; and don ' t we look grand in our uniforms? We also hold parties, mostly the initiation kind, and the refreshments, yum! yum!

RIFLE UNIT 985 President Mildred Ross Vice President Xaomi Brown Secretary Marguerite Mahoney Treasurer Nina Norris Range Officer Irma Orlomoski Unit 985 owes much of its success to our instructor Mr. Lease, whom everyone knows as a man for sports the year around. We also owe much gratitude to our assistant instructor, Mr. Baird, who is a crack shot, so how could the members help but be. We also have a very well-known sponsor who is Mildred Lease. When school began in September 1925, only three members of the old unit were left, as some had graduated and others had dropped out. However, after voting in new members we had eight. In the spring of 1926 we voted other members in, making our total enrollment eleven. We have had several hikes and several parties, but the party that everyone liked best was the initiation party. We shall never forget it and all the members will probably never regret joining Unit 985. The target ' s feeling when a member of Unit 985 is shooting is as follows: I am here, with a rifle facing me. I know that I shall never be here again and that I shall have holes in my skin. The action is closed, the barrel leveled at me, the sharp ■shooter ' ' aiming exactly at the Bull and a hit where you aim girl at the rifle. Ouch — Ouch — Ouch — Ouch — right in the A bull. Each of these shots stands for different things. They are: ability, patience, perseverance, concentration, and good sportsmanship. —Marguerite Mahoney, Sec. ' 27.

Braun Secretary Mary Elizabeth Schuster Sponsor Miss Elizabeth Barns The Social Science Club is the first of its kind in the history of the Joliet Township High School. When it was discovered that no advanced course in social leconcmics was offered, and since a group of students were enough interested in the study of soda ' problems to go into the work further than was possible in the classroom, plans for the club were started at the close of the first semester. Mr. Ralph Austin, Assistant State ' s Attorney, acquainted us with Misfits in Society. Miss Sara B. Place of the Infant Welfare Society of Chi cago, gave valu- able information on Child Welfare. Miss Annabel Ferrier, director of Arden Shore Camp at Lake Bluff, led us through this interesting spot. Miss Elizabeth Criswell told us of Dr. Grenfell ' s Medical Missionary work in Labrador. Just as Mercury, the most remarkable baby that ever lived, when but one day old, stole from his cradle and captured Apollo ' s prized cattle, so we, this most re- markable Social Science Club, when but one week old, stole from the cradle of obscurity, and captured the prized five-pound box of candy offered by the J Circus.

One difficult problem concerned the football boys breaking training rules. A committee from the student council and a member from each organization and class were selected. They worked over the problem and solved it satisfactorily. At Christmas time the student council was kept busy selling Christmas seals and collecting Christmas baskets.

TERPSICHOREAN CLUB President Hazel Conlon Secretary Frances Groth Treasurer Kathryn Abell Faculty Advisor Phoebe Ann Kirby The Terpsichorean Club is composed of girls from high school and junior college who desire more instruction in the art of dancing. The aim of the club is to class dancing as an educational activity, and to master the body as an instrument of expression, to cultivate love and appreciation of beauty; to stimulate the imagination and challenge the intellect; to broaden the social capacity of the individual that she may at once profit from and serve the greater world without. This club is one of the most prominent of the organizations and is of a special value to the students interested in dancing achievement. The first program was presented April 30 in the high school auditorium. It con- sisted of The Wonder Hat, a one act play coached by Miss L. M. Dickinson, and Into Nowhere, a ballet in black and white, coached by Mrs. W. L. Kirby. There were also nine dance divertissements including, Dutch Flirtation.

The summer previous we had had two interesting trips: St. Paul with the Kiwanis Club, and Springfield with the Veterans of Foreign Wars. We started to work early on our concert which was given in the new auditorium on April 9 . Two weeks later the band traveled to Champaign and returned the third time victor and permanent possessor of the State Band Trophy. We were also awarded a banner, presented by the De Moulin Bros. Co., for the best appearance and marching excellency. Also every one of our soloists found a place among the list of winners. Out of seven entries we returned with five firsts and two seconds.

Only through the wonderful instruction and direction of our beloved leader. Mr. McAllister were we able to do this. Much applause was given to the band in a general assembly in the auditorium. also a banquet which gave honor where honor was due, was given by the City of Joliet for the band.

We hadn ' t been practicing long before we were asked to play over the Shab- bona radio station, and soon after that we broadcasted over WCLS. Both times Mr. Converse received letters from radio fans telling how well they liked the high school orchestra ' s playing. We played at the Chamber of Commerce several times. Once it was for the noon luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce and once for the Rotary club. Then again we played for a banquet of the Barrett Hardware Company and for the Recreational Directors of Northern Illinois. Probably the most fun we had all year was when we went to the grade school centers and gave afternoon concerts for the pupils. At each school a number was given by the members of the orchestra who had graduated from that school. In February, the orchestra furnished the program of one of the Sunday afternoon community concerts. We furnis hed the music for the Rotary club and Junior College plays. On March 16 the orchestra gave a few numbers at the graduation of the Americanization classes of the night school, and last but not least we remember the time we played for the student body of J.T.H.S. Xot only has the orchestra improved in the quality of its work, but it has grown in numbers. The viola section has increased from three to five. This is one of the most important sections in the orchestra and is a big improvement. The cello section has shown the greatest growth, having grown from three to seven pieces. To the brass section have been added a horn and a trombone. In all there are forty- five members of the orchestra. They are: first violin: James Hansen, Claude Wilson. Leslie Shaw, Lillian Peck. Alvira Kohn, Joseph Skorupa, Sarah Friedman; second violin: Caroline Emery, Robert Snider, Marion Chaffee, Elizabeth Kerr, Edna Fried- man, Bernice Sitar, Irene Kertes, Stanford Reid, Paul Sivitskis, and Rodney French: violas: Helen Johnson, Bob Folk, Lucille Murphy, William Henderson; cellos: Helen Keltie, Helen Rice, Josephine Keltie, Helen Lockner, Vera French, Constance Max- well, Carrie Jeanette Francis; basses: Jeanette Fisk, Irene Mahaffy, Dorothy Smithy; clarinets: Nellie Humphrey, Carrie Spencer.

This chorus met twice a week at the noon hour, as it continues to do, in the English Lutheran Church before the completion of the addition to the high school. This year they are satisfactorily located in a large recitation room on the first floor of the building. The purpose of this organization has always been that of studying standard song classics arranged for three and four parts. Our aim is to get a most perfect balance of voices and tone blending; to work for clear enunciation and diction: to give the most natural interpretation of the poetry in its musical setting, thereby linking our work with that of the literature department. For illustration the Poems of Robert Burns, Thomas More, Longfellow, Shake- speare, Goethe, Kipling, Heine, Tennyson and many others are set to music, which tends to bring forth the real beauty of the words by such great composers as Schu- bert, Schumann, Beethoven, Wagner, Mendelssohn, and numerous other composers each writing in his own style and representing different epochs in the history of music since the 16th and 17th centuries. It has been the custom of the girls ' chorus to give one program annually to their musical friends and relatives during the first week of May. This program includes a cantata with solo voices and a select group of songs. They are assisted by the Treble Choir and artists chosen from the High School community. (Continued on Page 127) mz jns: m One Hundred Twentv-Sk 1926 THE MIXED CHORUS The Mixed chorus, consisting of about ninety voices has made about five major appearances this year. They have studied and produced several extended works including the operetta All at Sea . They gave their usual Christmas and Easter concerts following a custom of four years standing. The Mixed chorus will be joined by the Junior chorus for the commencement program. THE JUNIOR CHO RUS The Junior chorus was organized in September under the direction of Mr. Albert Hindle. It consists of about seventy-four voices well balanced and is the feeder for the larger Mixed Chorus. This organization appeared in All at Sea and in the commencement program. They will be inducted into the regular chorus as their proficiency permits. GIRLS ' CHORUS (Continued from Page 126) Their Calendar for the School Year is: Christmas Concert, Dec. 20, 1925.

E DI5 One Hundred Twenty-Seven BOYS - CHORUS The Boys ' Chorus is closing its second year of work with Miss Isab elle Boyd. It meets twice a week at the noon hours, the other three days of the week being spent with the mixed chorus. This has been out banner year for good work and appearances on programs that really count for something. Our biggest problem, is that the boy ' s voice is changing. During the High School period they are at just an age when it is pretty hard to sing very high or very low, but who says they do not like to sing as well as the girls? With all their difficulties they are very popular on programs. There are twenty-five voices in this group, and next year we hope for forty. Let ' s go!

CA as 3 One Hundred Twenty-Ni THE J HIGH JOURNAL Managing Editor Edwin Levin Associates Catherine Bruder, Mary Henderson Reporters and Special Writers Sara Balchowsky, Wiliam R. Greene, Arnette Johnson, Robert Shurson, Irvin Thomp- son, Vina Watjus. Dorothy Davidson Typist Mabel F. Hunt Faculty Advisor Business Staff J. Otis Freeze, Roy H. Carlson Circulation George W. Braun, Thelma E. Eberhart A staff of twelve members under the efficient direction of Miss Mabel Hunt has succeeded admirably in putting out the school ' s first newspaper, the J High Journal. For twenty weeks the members studied journalism so that they would be fully prepared for the task. They learned how to acquire a journalistic style, how to write editorials and sports, how to make headlines, and how to plan and make up a newspaper. From the several names submitted for the paper, the name J High Journal was chosen by the two classes in journalism. The first issue of the paper was presented to the school February fourth at the J Circus, the first copy being formally presented to Dr. L. Y. Smith by the editor, Edwin Levin. m as m One hundred Thirty R O. T. C. The R.O.T.C. got away for a slow start this year, the most exciting thing being the Annual Army vs. Band conflict staged on Richards Street football field early in the fall. Of course the Army with its military determination to conquer won a decisive victory of 13-6. The first R.O.T.C. dance of the season was held Wednesday, November 23. As usual when the R. O. T. C. is behind a movement it goes over, and the dance cer- tainly was a great affair. With the assignment of Capt. E. J. Renth, 2nd Infantry, to our school as P.M.S. T., the unit began doing things, gaining prestige as it progressed. When George McLean, cadet Major, graduated i n February, Captain J. Alvin Davis was promoted to Major. To fill the vacancies due to promotions an examin- ation was held for non-commissioned officers. This was a new thing as hitherto pro- motions had been made according to rank and not ability. The general appearance of the battalion was changed when in compliance with an order issued by the P.M.S. T., buttons, collar ornaments, and belt buckles were polished and shined. Each man was given a rifle and held responsible for its care and appearance. May 8 was a red letter day in the history of the R.O.T.C. They gave a military tournament featuring military drill and tactics. The tournament was given in place of the R.O.T.C. Review. It was attended by a goodly crowd and was received with greater favor than the Review. The staging of the tournament brought enough cash to reward the men for their splendid showing Field Day. May 28. jS _ as m One Hundred Thirty-One 1926 J3C The annual Military Ball this year was held, Saturday, May 29, and was a strictly military affair. The history of the Military Department as prepared for the Commander of the Sixth Corps Area, is as follows: HISTORY OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT AT THE JOLIET TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL, JOLIET, ILL. SPRING OF 1916 TO DEC. 31, 1920. As a means of encouraging military training in the high schools of the Middle West, Culver Military Academy in 1916 inaugurated a two weeks ' course of training for high school students. In the spring of 1916, Joliet Township High School sent eighteen boys to Culver. Joliet received more individual honors than any other one of the one hundred and two high schools represented. Five of the eight members of the wall-scaling squad were Joliet boys. Three were chosen representatives in the Culver Military Training Association, a national organization formed at that time. After the boys ' return to Joliet, a high school corps of forty members was formed with LaYerne Ohlhaver as captain. Arrangement was made with the authori- ties at Culver to obtain uniforms and rifles for the corps. They entered into the organization with spirit and participated in patriotic and civic celebrations about the city. Among others who enlisted for the World War.LaVerne Ohlhaver left school to enlist in April, 1917 and was killed in action in France, August 10, 1918, while 1st Sergeant of Company E , 3rd Infantry, 33rd Division. His body was returned to Joliet from France in December 1920, and buried with military honors. Harold Heap, one of his class mates, also enlisted in April, 1917, and was killed in action on Z as 23 One Hundred Thirty-Two MILITARY BAND July 4, 1918, while a member of the same company, regiment and division as Ohlhaver. During the year 1916, Lieutenant E. Z. Stever, organizer of the Wyoming plan of military training, succeeded in having this system introduced into the high schools of Chicago. Joliet was asked to join the movement, and as a result, the high school cadet corps joined the nucleus of the organization at Joliet. Under the Wyoming plan, several companies, a battalion if possible, was to be ouganized in each school and the various battalions constituted a regiment. A regular non-commissioned offi- cer, Sergeant Kaiser, was detailed to provide instruction at the Joliet Township High School. The organization was called the High School Volunteers of the United States. During the school year 1917-1918, Joliet High School supported companies G, H, I, and K of the 10 th Regiment H.S.V.U.S. The battalion was under the direction of C. J. Wagner of the department of physical training at J.T.H.S., and of Band Director, A. R. McAllister. During this year, also, there was maintained a company of thirty-two, well-drilled cadets ,who, with the military band, assisted at all public patriotic gatherings in the community. For two weeks the band was at Camp Steever, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, as official camp band. In the fall of 1918, the direction of Military Training at J.T.H.S. was turned over to A. R. McAllister, who organized a regiment of two battalions of four com- panies each. The student majors were: 1st Battalion, Robert E. Curry; 2nd Battalion, Robert Simpson. There was an honor company chosen from the entire regiment to represent the school on public occasions. Another development of this year was an Officer ' s club, composed of all commissioned officers and sergeants of the regiment DI5 ■£££. On- Hundred Thirty-Three I32B COMPANY A The band was invited to be one of the official bands at Camp Taylor, Kentucky, in January, 1919; but later this invitation was recalled because of the signing of the armistice and the prevalence of the influenza. In March, 1919, at the request of Dr. J. Stanley Brown ,then superintendent of the high school, the War Department established a Junior Reserve Officers Train- ing Corps Unit at Joliet Township High School. Col. Benjamin J. Tillman, Inf., was detailed as Professor of Military Science and Tactics, per S. O. No. 45 — O. W. D. Feb. 24, 1919. and arrived in Joliet March 7. 1919 . The High School Regiment was reorganized as an R.O.T.C. regiment. It consisted of 324 men, divided into two battalions, each composed of three companies, and the J.T.H.S. military band. April 30, 1919, Captain Philip Dodd- ridge was detailed as Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics, per S. O. Xo. 77-0, W. D. April 2, 1919 and immediately assumed his office. T. E. With was appointed Student Colonel and R. E. Curry, Lieutenant Colonel. i From March until June the boys of the R.O.T.C. drilled faithfully under the personal direction of Col. Tillman and Capt. Doddridge. June first, Col .Tillman left for a trip to France, and Capt. Doddridge was ordered to Camp Custer. Six representatives from J.T.H.S. accompanied Capt. Doddridge to Camp Custer and the records returned to the school for them were exceptionally good. The band at- tended Camp Roosevelt as official band. In September 1919, Dr. L. W. Smith replaced Dr. J. Stanley Brown as Super- intendent and Principal and the beginning of the new school year found both Col. Z j as One Hundred Thirtv-Four COMPANY B Tillman and Capt. Doddridge at J.T.H.S. again. The regiment was reorganized and training for the year was begun. Col. Tillman was ordered to Texas, per S. O. No. 230-O, W. D. October 2, 1919, and Capt. Doddridge became Professor of Mili- tary Science and Tactics. Col. Tillman had won a distinctive place in this com- munity and it was with the deepest regret that news of his death in San Antonio, Tex., in September, 1920, was received in Joliet. The shipment of uniforms and equipment had been delayed, but by November, 1919, every member of the R.O.T.C. had a complete uniform. Rifles and ammu- nition arrived, but on account of the steel strike, the sheriff would not allow them to be unpacked, and they were returned to the Rock Island Arsenal . Finally, in Feb- ruary, 1920, conditions permitted of the distribution of rifles and ammunition. It was interesting to the boys to know that every rifle in their care had been carried by a member of the First Division, A.E.F. in France. In December, 1919, the Joliet R.O.T.C, then composed of three hundred and forty boys, was organized into a battalion. Members of the R.O.T.C. received three hours ' instruction a week. Twice a week they reported to the gymnasium in small groups, and every Thursday the entire Unit marched to the field for Battalion drill. During the year 1919-20, Joliet R.O.T.C. was inspected three times by officers from the R.O.T.C. branch of the General Staff of the central department. These officers commended the superior work of the J.T.H.S. unit, credit for which was largely due to the unfailing interest and determination of Capt. Doddridge. May 21, 1920 the first annual Competitive Drill was held. A bronze cup given by Capt. Doddridge as a permanent trophy and a beautiful flag inscribed as One Hundied Thirty-Five COMPANY C ' Prize Company from Mrs. Doddridge went to the winning company. Approp- riate recognition was also given the individual competitive drills. During the sum- mer, 1920, Captain Doddridge left Joliet for service in the Pennsylvania Military Police, per S. O. No. 133-0, W. D. June 7, 1920. The Illinois State Rotary Club took the Band to the International Rotary Convention at Atlantic City during the summer. Its services were so pleasing that it was presented with a banner and a loving cup and invited to the International Rotary Convention at Edinburg, Scotland in 1921. A pleasant feature of the military organization at J.T.H.S. has been the social development. Military dances have been given from time to time, including a won- derfully successful farewell party for Col. Tillman, and a military ball on the night of the first competitive drill, at which the judges of the day were the guests of honor. Nor would such an account be complete without mention of the R. O. T. C. Unit of the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps, Unit 428. This unit organized by John Dan- zinger an instructor, Mr. H. D. Grose of the High School faculty, won the National Junior Military Match in 1920 and was awarded a beautiful cup as a trophy. Joliet R.O.T.C. began the school year of 1920-21 under the direction of 1st Lieut. E. N. Jones, Inf., detailed as P.M.S. T., per S. O. No. 10.. Hdqrs. Sixth Corps Area, September 10, 1920, later relieved per S. O. No. 289-0, W. D. December 9, 1920 and assigned to duty with Detroit high schools. Serg ' t. Michael Solomon was assigned to duty at the school per G. O. No. 266, Hdqrs. Recruit Depot. Fort Thoman, Ky., October 18, 1920 and joined a few days later. Lt. Jones and Serg ' t. Solomon belonged to the 1st Division and served with it in Europe, Lieut. Jones E JDE m One Hundred Thirty-Six I32B COMPANY D joining it in Germany after the armistice. Serg ' t. Solomon went over and back with the 26th Infantry and was with it at the battles of Mondidier-Xoyon, Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne, being wounded in the Aisne-Marnes battle July 20. 1918. On November 23, 1920, Lieutenant Col. George E. Lovell, Cav. reported for duty as P.S.M. T. per S. O. No. 26S-0. W. D. November 10, 1920. In December Sergeant Donovan Kirk reported as Assistant Instructor per S. O. 291-E., W. D. De- cember 11, 1920 and Serg ' t. John T. Daughtry reported as Ass ' t. Instructor per S. O. 292-E., W. D. December 13, 1920. Lt. Col. Lovell and Serg ' t. Kirk served with the Third Ammunition Train, Third Division, in Europe, going over and returning with it. They were present with their organization at the Champagne-Marne Defensive. Aisne-Marne offensive, St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. Sergeant Daughtry served in the Siberian Expe- dition. The arrival of this officer and the three non-commissioned officers gave the R.O. T.C. a capable corps of instructors and the daily program was carried out thoroughly. A marked advance in morale and discipline was soon apparent, and the close of the year, Dec. 31, 1920, found the R.O.T.C. with 312 young men enrolled, organized into a highly efficient Band and four companies. The weather did not permit of many drills in the open and the gymnasium was small, but steady progress was made in the work. A new shooting gallery was established in the basement of a near-by house belonging to the school and a set of trolley targets was put in. The young (Continued on Page 218) mz. JDIS yi One Hundred Thirt v-Seven CHAMPION WALL SCALING TEAM The first wall-scaling competition in the history of the Joliet Township High School was held during the Military Tournament at the high school. May 8, 1926. Five teams from the military band, the Staff, and companies A, B, and C, competed. The competition was won by Company B ' s team with a time of 18 seconds. The squad lined up at one end of the gymnasium. At the flash of the gun the front rank dashed down and placed their backs to the foot of the 10 foot wall. They threw the rear rank over. Numbers 3 and 4 next mounted on 1 and 2 and while No. 1 threw No. 2 over, Nos. 3 and 4 prepared to pull No. 1 over. When all were over and lined up at attention at the other end of the gymnasium, the time was taken. The time of the nearest competitor was 22 seconds. Bronze medals, donated by the Rotary Club, were awarded to each member of the team by June Hutchinson, Batallion Sponsor. At the second competition held at the annual Field Day, May 28, the team again competed. The wall was placed in the center of the Richards Street field and the starting and finishing lines were the two side lines of the field, a distance of 160 feet; the time was 25 seconds, 20 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor. The men serving on the teams are: 1st Lieut. George W. Braun; squad leader. 2nd Lieut. John Large; Platoon Sergeant, Robert Meek; Corporals, Foster Beeson, Christian Hansen and Royal Miller; Privates, Frank Blasky, George Constance, and Stewart Hutchinson. Bronze medals, again donated by the Rotary Club, were awarded by Miss Eva May Dun. Company Sponsor. George Braun.

Mr. Rodman Reynolds returns to his home after taking a trip to Maine to find his wife proud and happy over having been selected to serve on the jury. The case is a breach of promise suit brought by Miss Catherine Carroll against Billy Keets, the saucy little cut-up who has been an ' gone an ' distraced us all, to put it in the satirical words of Tom Dashley. As the plot unravels the audience discovers that this suit is nothing but a farce, concocted by the men to bring ridicule on the first impanelled woman ' s jury in all the world. Five of Mrs. Reynold ' s JDE One Hundred Thirty-Nine m eer m special friends have also been selected for the jury, but when they meet the other six in the court room, these refined ladies are perfectly furious to find the others are an amalgamated gathering of scrub-women, maids, and the like. The ladies are pardonably unfamiliar with court procedure, so Judge Seers enlightens them on a few points of law. The progressive woman ' s jury is a little astonished to find that they already have the culpable Billy Keets convicted and sent to jail, in their own minds, of course. The trial proceeds with many humorous interruptions until an astounding piece of information comes to the notice of two lady lawyers. A trembling witness is brought to the stand and he discloses the whole fraud. Seven of the guilty parties including the plaintiff and defendant, are sent to jail. Mr. Reynolds ' entrance into the plot has been so late that the witness does not know of it, so he remains outside to furnish bail for the jailbirds. When they are released from jail, these plotters against this woman menace decide to fight to a finish, but here the two lawyers have the goods on them and the play ends with a happy reunion of husbands and wives and a hearty yell by the men: — Ra ! Ra! Ra ! A woman ' s right! To right a woman ' s wrong! Ra! Ra! Yip! CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page 45) F. T. (sternly) — Here are some of the intellectual achievements of your class. You ranked high in inteligence tests — G. (interrupting) — Oh yes, we are so bright that we always have the largest honor roll. We are the largest class that ever graduated from Joliet High School, so we have the biggest upper quarter too. F. T. — And I find a record here that you started the first weekly newspaper. The entire staff and Miss Hunt deserve a great deal of credit. Besides writing the paper the Journalism class carried on the advertising and the circulation. Is that correct? G. — Yes, and don ' t forget the wonderful year book and the J circus. We started many things besides the newspaper. We organized the Latin Club, Camera Club, the Social Science Club, the Friendship Club, and the Ukelele Club which played at several of our games and assemblies. The Latin Club had a Roman ban- quet and the Camera Club had several parties and hikes. We also started the Public Speaking Club. Every month we had a party or a banquet with an outside speaker. (Time lags as girl tries to recall something). Haven ' t you anything more about us? F. T. — Your band — G— Oh yes, the band ! F. T. — As I was sayin g, it says here that your band won the state champion- ship three times in succession, thereby winning the great privilege of keeping the prize cup. It cou ' d not be defeated. The soloists in your class who helped you to win this glory are Eugene Holmes and Curtiss Stock. G. — Bob Clark, our drum major, certainly could put on that peacock strut. F. T. — Your music department put on All at Sea and several other artistic programs in which many Seniors took part. Katherine Dunham wrote an excellent OB VO One Hundred Forty m: I92R m school song. (Turning page) Richard Baldwin won first place and Chrystal Cherry second in an oratorical contest and Mary Ferry won first place in a dictation contest. G. — Don ' t forget that Frances Barclay, Neva Robbins and Lois Arbeiter won year books for writing essays. Oh, F. T., did you know that Howard Lloyd is the smallest student that ever graduated? F. T.— No, I didn ' t know that. G. — We ' ll never forget Howard. He was always making such bright remarks. One time when Miss Dailey was having her pupils make an outline she said: You may write with your books. Howard asked her to demonstrate how to write with a book. ( F. T. laughs heartily, as if he hadn ' t laughed for years). Howard won a letter in tennis. (Excitedly) Father Time! we almost forgot our athletes. Why Allan Ward holds the record in the Northern Illinois Conference for the low hurdles. Surely you have lots of dope about them. (Helps F. T. look through books). F. T. — Ah! here is the place. The heavyweight football letter men of your class are Carey, Jones, Mills, Bertino, Work, Cardwell, Lennon and Shurson. Ber- tino, Ward, and Jones were captains. G. (reading)-r-And our ligh tweight letter men were Howell, Emmanuelson and Paris. F. T. — Your basketball letter men were Kaatz, Kirincich, Ward and Carey. John Lennon and Wilbur Murley were good players although they did not win letters. Ferguson, Oakes, and Emanuelson were on the lightweight team. G. — Oh, and Bob Shurson and Evvie Ferguson were on the relay team which holds the Northern Illinois Conference record. F. T. — Paris, Oram, Oakes, Cook, Emmanuelson, and Howell also were on the track teams. G. — Just think — all those stars are in our class. Our yell leader certainly helped the games and pep meetings along. Fred ' s gestures were unique, to say the least. You don ' t have anything about the girls ' athletics. F. T. — The girls haven ' t done much of consequence in athletics. G. — Why Father Time, you ' re behind the times. We have some wonderful teams in hockey, track and baseball. Our basketball team was awfully peppy. We made baskets one right after another. We won the school championship. Every- body said we were just as good as the boys. F. T. — It ' s queer how times do change. However, your class does seem to have a good record. G. — I haven ' t finished telling about all our achievements, either. The boys have a Hi-Y Club of which most of the officers are Seniors. These officers were instrumental in bringing well-known speakers to address us on the various planks of their platform. Dad Elliot spoke on Clean Living, Mr. Pence on Clean Speech, Tug Wilson on Clean Athletics, and Dr. Smith on Clean Scholarship. F. T. — Ah! That is something worth while. I like to see the present generation considering higher ideals. G. — A girls ' organization, the J-Hi Stars, did a great deal of good too. Last year we sold Christmas Seals to help the tuberculosis sanitarium. And every year One Hundred Forty-One 1926 we took Christmas baskets to the poor. You know we are organized to promote better fellowship among the Junior and Senior girls. F. T. — Has your class done anything else? G. — I can ' t think of anything more just now, but that ' s an awful lot. isn ' t it? We have really accomplished a great many things. Oh! Look at the time; I have to hurry or I ' ll be late to the party. Thanks F. T., you ' ll be sure to put all those things down, won ' t you? Good bye! F. T. (consents) — Oh these mortals, how changeable they are. One minute they are thinking seriously and the next they are rushing to a party. But they do get somewhere! This class has achieved much — many things really worth while. They have fostered better fellowship; unselfishly, they h ave done charity work. Their initiative is shown by their organization of clubs. They have shown a good school spirit by always supporting the various school undertakings. They have high stand- ards of scholarship. As a whole their four years in the high school have been very profitably spent. Alice Fitch Elizabeth Pettigrew CLASS SOXG OF 1926 By Helen Keltie, ' 26 Come let us sing a song of glee, The song of twenty-six; A song of youth and jollity, With work and pleasure mixed. A song of days that now are gone Of teachers and of friends, And of the new life that shall dawn As hence the pathway bends. For joy instead of grief now takes The first place in our hearts, And pride for twenty-six shall make Us glad we ' ve done our parts. Chorus One-nine-two-six, one-nine-two-six. Our praise is all of thee. One-nine-two-six, one-nine- two-six, Thy fame shall ever be. ■ I L-Jlrl a- W One Hundred Forty-Twi ADVICE TO JUNIORS (Continued from Page 48) have done better. However, to be as great as we , you must have the necessary materials. You have not succeeded very well as yet. Next year try to develop as great a girls ' basketball team as ours. And you must do something for the school in track, you know. Don ' t you blush when you think that at the first interclass track meet this year you scored but one point. Bob Mau did his bit, but you gave him no support. In football you will have a hard row to hoe. Can you develop six men for the team as we did? You can ' t boast of as large an Honor Roll as we either, but you can do much in a year. Juniors, you have a great future before you and this future will be a great success, if you will observe the following motto: Early to bed and early to rise, Obey all your teachers and tell them no lies, Study your lessons and learn to be wise, And do all your worthy seniors advise. This is a lasting motto and it is the sure key to success. Ask any Senior and he will tell you the same, for you know all seniors are successful. I ' m sure you will improve your scholarship. Be not discouraged brethren, the future will be better. Good results always follow earnest and persistent effort. Of course you can never hope to turn out as fine a finished product as the class of 1926, but if you strive for better things and set a high standard you are sure to turn out well, but not nearly as well as we Seniors. We think of you with nothing but tenderness, kindness, and consideration. All of our hate is interred with our bones. We can find little fault with you, for you have done so little that there is not much to criticise. This year is gone, you can ' t change it, but next year will soon be here. Do something. Don ' t leave a blank page in the history of J. T. H. S. And now we have come to the parting of the ways. We have traveled along to- gether and communed with each other. You have often agreed with us and often disagreed, but that is gone now and so with malice toward none we close this chapter in the history of J. T. H. S. IVY DAY ORATION (Continued from Page 47) more interesting, awaited us. And finally, we saw, in the distance, the harbor, looming up above the other events yet to be experienced. It beckoned us, and, striving harder, we approached it rapidly, until today we have gained the ultimate goal of our high school life. A review of our extra-curricular activities also affords much pleasure. We have seen the development of a new athletic spirit in J. T. H. S. and a great growth in social and literary organizations. We have seen our invincible band hold the state championship and trophy three years consecutively. In leaving we hope that, in all these enterprises, our successors will maintain or raise the reputation we now enjoy. There are those of our original number who are absent today at this time of our achievement and success, and not forgetful, let us pause in respect to the mem- ( Continued on Page 213) Z . 1 Pin One Hundred Forty-Three Vow n Cfy cacfo am Whots this I ■see ?

THE CHARM SCHOOL On December the eighteenth the Junior College presented their annual play, The Charm School, to a capacity house in the new auditorium. The play proved to be equally as charming as its name implies, and under the capable direction of Miss Lena M. Dickinson was cleverly executed by the well-chosen cast of characters. Everyone agreed, (especially the feminine sex), that Richard Jones, as Austin Bevans, was one of the most handsome heroes they had ever seen and played very admirably his part as a struggling youth suddenly endowed with a girls ' boarding school. William Grinton, in the part of David MacKenzie, an enterprising young lawyer, was forced to show how really dignified he could be, while Charles Robson, who took the part of George Boyd, made such a pathetic picture as a rejected lover that we fear for his future success along such lines. But who would have dreamed that Rodney Balensiefer and Wayne Graham could make such good looking Simkins twins and at the same time provoke so much laughter from the audience? As for Frank Condon who played the part of Homer Johns, a better business man and a more dutiful guardian could not be found. He was slightly gray at the temples and had a very dignified mustache. In the part of Elise Benidotti, the little school girl who just would fall in love with Austin Bevans, Margaret Masterson made a lovable and charming heroine as well as a member of the Charm School ' s senior class. Hazel Conlon showed true ability in her part as Miss Hays, who presided over (Continued on Page 155) V - JJC One Hundred Fijty-Thr I92B Jones Masterson FIRST YEAR CLASS OFFICERS President Richard Jones Vice President .... . . . . .

MUSICAL CLUB President ' erna Bailey Vice President Doris Rohrbach Secretary-Treasurer Jenny Westling This year the lunior College Musical Club has followed its usual custom of producing one standard work. The opera Trovatorc was the one chosen with the following cast: Leonora, a lady at the court of the Princess of Aragon, Elizabeth Wilson; Azucena, a wandering gypsy of Biscay, Doris Rohrbach; Inez, an attend- ant of Leonora, Adeline Johnson; Manrico, a young chieftan under the Prince of Biscay, birth unknown, but in reality a brother of the Count di Luna, Vincent St. John; The Count di Luna, a young noble under the Prince of Aragon, Roland Pease; Ferrando, a captain of the guard under di Luna, Lester Kelly; Ruiz, a soldier under Manrico, Ray Rafter; Chorus of Nuns, gypsies, soldiers. Treble Choir and J. C. Boys ' Glee Club; Accompanist Verna Bailey. In the opening scene, which takes place in the vestibule of the palace of Aljaferia, Ferrando tells the grisly story of Garcia, the count ' s brother, to divert the servants who await the Count ' s return. In the next scene Leonora tells Inez of an unknown knight and troubador. Inez chides her, but Leonora boasts of her love for him. The Count advances and declares his passion while at the same time the serenading troubador appears. It is not long before the two have drawn swords and Leonora faints. The gypsy scene which follows takes place at the foot of a mountain in Biscay. Gypsies sing of women and wine and beat time with their hammers on the anvils. Azucena tel ' s in a wild song of her morthe ' s and son ' s horrible fate. In the midst of Z JJC One Hundred Fifty-Four IL TROVATORE this a gypsy rushes in telling that Leonora, thinking Manrico dead, is about to take the veil; but this is prevented by Manrico and his followers. A wandering gypsy arouses the suspicion of Ferrando and is taken to the Count. Azucena in despair calls for Manrico. She is doomed to the stake and Manrico is imprisoned. Leonora offers herself to the Count for Manrico ' s liberty; but she takes poison and after offering Manrico his freedom, falls and with words of love dies as the Count stands on the threshold. Raging because he has been mocked, he has Manrico lead to the scaffold. He drags Azucena to the window. Count: He ' s punished. Azucena: Manrico was thy brother; thou art avenged, O, mother. Count: And still I live. L. Verna Bailey, ' 26.

These two teachers had a difficult time in managing the senior class, especially Sally Boyd, George ' s sister, who was always into some mischief. The other members of the class were: Lillian Stafford, Jenny Westling; Madge Kent, Mary Mitchell; Charlotte Gray, Mabel Hansen; Mary Ervin, Elna Carlson; Jane Cummins, Eleanor Roberts; Grace Dill- man, Cecil Scheidt; Muriel Doughty, Adeline Johnson; Ethel Spelvin, Verna Bailey; Alix Mercier, Willa Jean Webb.

FEYTEL VI President Willa Jean Webb Vice President Ariel Mortvedt Secretary-Treasurer Carol Brewster Feytel, Feytel est un cercle de joie; Un cercle qui cherche d ' apprendre Francais d ' avoir conversation; C ' est un cercle qui contient bien des filles et garcons; Un cercle qui constamment fait 1 ' usage d ' information. Elizabeth Wilson Feytel Cercle was established in our Junior College in the year of 1920. Since that time it has been a club whose active members are second year French students under the gracious sponsorship of Madame Babcock. One of the most interesting and enjoyable traditions in Feytel is its annual publication, namely the Joliet Junior College Soleil or newspaper. This publi- cation was started in 1921 by Feytel II; and each year we strive not only to keep up the radition but to make each annual a little superior to the years previous. Each member of the club has his own portion of the paper for which he is respon- sible. Feytel VI had the following people in charge of their ' Soleil: ' 7 Editor-in- chief, Carol Brewster; Assistant Editor, Ariel Mortvedt; Business Manager, Suren Seron; Assistant Business Manager, John Sims. FeyteFs purposs is really threefold: It attempts to give ample opportunity for its members to follow up many of the unique and interesting sidelines of French which tend to animate the language. Again, the club meetings benefit the members (Continued on Page 163) Z JJC _ ri One Hundred Fifty-Right BOUTEZ-EN-AVANT President Rebecca Halsey Vice President Frank Condon Secretary and Treasurer June Wylie The true aim of the Boutez-en-avant Club is to live up to its name and really push forward. As everyone must know by this time we are not only a sociable group but also a very studious one. For instance, in our outside work, we learn much of the French people and their literature aside from that in our daily assignments. From our notebook outline we are led to look up the articles pertaining to French literature, thus we may find — and study too, if we happen to be in the right mood — some other French item. And then most of us quit with our new discovery thinking we have pushed forward enough. We have spoken so far of only work. Now let us turn to our entertainment. We were the timid but faithful hosts and hostesses of the Feytel Club at Snapp ' s Cafeteria. This party was characterized by the monotonous repetition of French phrases which had been mastered by only a few. We had a good time anyway, even if every one did give exactly the same salutation and farewell to the guests. The spirit of our member, Mildred Hughes, was shown at her party when she entertained several of the French students in her home. Nous nous amusons beau- coup. £A JJC One Hundred Fifty-Nine GROWLERS-STARS-SATELLITES President Heloise Marwick Vice President William Grinton Secretary Frances Groth Treasurer Hazel Conlon The program commitee chosen was: Margaret Masterson, chairman; Dana Watson and Jenny Westling. We alternate programs with the Growlers ' Club, but at two of our meetings we gave four clever plays. The first was an extract from Shakespeare ' s Midsummer- Nights ' Dream, a humorous sketch with an entire male cast including Rodney Balensiefer, Philip Booth, William Grinton, Edward Harford, Robert Humphrey, and George Leopould. At the same meeting we had, under the direction of Jenny Westling and Willa Jean Webb, A Maker of Dreams. In this cast were Hazel Conlon, Heloise Marwick, and William Leighton. Our next meeting was held in the old auditorium, where a glimpse of married life was portrayed by Lois Hartman and Jessie Grundy in Her Neighbor ' s Creed, directed by Mary Mitchell. The next, directed by Lillian McCulloch, was played by Ramona Powell, Carol Brewster, Mary Van Horn, Margaret Masterson, and Doris Rohrbach, and was named The Last Frontier. SOCIAL NEWS On the night of December 12th, there gathered together a most admirable group of young men and women for the express purpose of entertaining themselves. There were many divertisements and features, one of them being a mock wedding and every guest receiving a gift from the bride ' s cake. This was our first big party. We have had many social times with the Growlers, Stars and Satellites, that are spoken of in another section. Our Hundred Sixty £ t? siQf r i ' ef- tfeJt?

President Jean Grant Vice President Ruth Mortvedt Secretary-Treasurer Verna Bailey The Woman ' s Athletic Association was organized in September to promote women ' s athletics in Junior College. Considering our age, we have succeeded very well and have managed to put out a basketball team. Although we did not beat the Ail-Star team selected to play us, everyone was interested in the game. Incidentally we had a lot of fun out of it. Then we turned our attention to track and tennis. Our first track practice was held the Tuesday after Easter vacation. The call for track recruits was answered by many of our girls. For tennis, a tournament is to be held and first place is always hotly contested. Under the coaching of Mrs. Kirby, we fulfill our aim and better ourselves. We do not turn our attention to athletics only. Soon after the club was organiz- ed, a get-acquainted tea was held in the lunch-room. The object of this was to get-acquainted with our sponsors: Mrs. Groth, Mrs. Marwick, Mrs. Norris, Miss Hamill, and Miss Dew Dailey. Then we too shared with the G.A.A. in the Barn Dance. Did we have fun? Ask anyone how they liked the How-do-you-do. Virginia Reel, Rockin ' Rye Waltz or Pop-goes-the-Weazel? It certainly was the best party so far that we have ever held. Thus the W. A. A. is thriving, but there is always room for more and we hope to be much larger next year. K -a_ JJC One Hundred Sixty-Two C.

And again, Feytel serves as a Rendez vous where the Junior Collegians may gather to promote good fellow- ship. In response to two enjoyable fetes that Feytel spent as guests of Boutez-en- Avant last semester we turned the tables by entertaining Boutez-e n-Avant this se- mester at a Grand Fete. At this time, we presented to each of them a finished copy of the 1926 Soliel. For entertainment, in addition to our toast program, we presented a little play entitled Morraine de Guerre. At this fete we also gave a representation of the French Pleiades by having eight of us represent Ronsard, Du Bellay, De Baif, Belleau, Dorat, Jodelle and Floyard. We each carried a lighted star and took the form of a little dipper or the pleiades and attempted to portray the work of La Pleiade in French literature and untangle the apparent melange of literature and astronomy. Later in the evening we enjoyed music and dancing. A pot pourri program was held at one meeting of Feytel during the semester. This was a mixed program or, speaking in musical terms, a medley. At this meet- ing we had a mixture of French customs, games, and songs. As a parting word from Feytel VI we can only say Vive Feytel and beau- coup de bonheur Feytel VII. Willa Jean Webb JJC _ - A One Hundred Sixty-Three BASKETBALL The first call for basketball men was sounded the Monday following Thanks- giving by Coach Cates. The outlook was not as promising as it might have been be- cause several of the best players in school were ineligible. In spite of this outlook the fellows went to work with a will. Practice was held from six to seven every evening, and even though this was a very inconvenient time, attendance at practice was regular. Our first game was with Elgin Junior College on the Elgin floor. The play the first half was fairly even, but in the second half Elgin managed to secure a large lead that our boys could not overcome before the final gun was fired. The final score was 28 to 13. On the following evening we met and defeated the Reserves from Northwestern College of Xaperville. In spite of the fact that McGinnis and Dillon were missing from our lineup we managed to cop the biggest end of a 19 to 17 score. In the next game we encountered the teachers of Chicago Normal and after a hectic battle we had to content ourselves with the small end of a 22 to 20 score. On the following Saturday night we received a drubbing at the hands of North Park College to the tune of 18 to 4 due largely to the absence of Dillon and McGinnis. Our next opponent was Morton Junior College which was at this time leading the conference. They administered us an almost unmerciful drubbing. The entire Morton team seemed unable to miss, and when it was all over they had collected 53 points to our 14. (Continued on Page 166) £ru _ JJC One Hundred Sixty-Four BASEBALL Every lover of our national game is looking forward to answering the call for candidates which is to be issued shortly. The veterans who will be back this year are Lee Stevens, Bob Conkling, Gil Charlstrom. and Jim Bryson. In addition to these there are many who have signified their intention of coming out for the team. Among them is Kenneth Trotter, pitching ace from Coal City High School. He has a record of IS straight victories in one season. He also bats well above .300. Another promising young man is Gus Zannis. He is another aspiring pitcher who claims he can imitate any pitcher in the American League. Doc. MacLain who hails from Rock Island is another prospect. Some of the other aspirants who are expected to report for practice are Donald Johannsen. a former high school player, Mike Meyer, Chuck Dillon, Dale Nickolson and Johnny Boyd. The coach has not been definitely picked, but it is hoped that R. L. Rodgers, a drawing instructor, will accept the position. He is the choice of the fellows and he has demonstrated his ability in past seasons. TRACK The Junior College Conference Track Meet will be held in Elgin this year and it is expected that our school will be well represented at this meet. Dwight Cook is Joliet ' s best bet. He is a former Big 7 winner in the 100 yard dash, and he should be able to duplicate his feat again this year. James Bryson, Manager. JJC x One Hundred Sixty-Fivt I92B (Continued from Page 164) During the next week our team was somewhat reorganized, and several new players were added to the squad. They were Gil Charlstrom, Jimmy Lordan, Francis Dailey, and Joe Gallagher. Our hopes were renewed, and we went to Chi- cago to give Crane a real battle. The new combination had not had a chance to work together before but gave a good account of themselves. The final score was 45 to 24. On the following Friday night we met Morton in the second game of the season. Morton rather expected another runaway game, but our purple and white cagers had just the opposite one. When the final gun was sounded Morton had beaten us by only a score of 38 to 26. The next week Crane came down to Joliet to repeat the defeat handed to us earlier in the season. The final score was 40 to 18. Once more we encountered the teachers of Chicago Normal, and once more we fell before their onslaughts to the tune of 28 to 22. Our next opponent was Elgin. Since the time we met Elgin before they acquired a man known to all of us. His name is Semeny and he will be remembered for his work on Elgin High School teams. He was in a great measure responsible for our defeat. We closed the season with a defeat at the hands of North Park by a score of 35 to 28. We cannot boast of a string of victories but we can boast of a fighting bunch of basketball men who never said die. Much credit is due Coach Mike Cates who spent many hours trying to teach us the rudiments of the game. Here are some of the fellows who deserve mention for their faithfulness: Ray McGinnis, a worthy captain and a brainy forward. Chuck Dillon, a heavy set lad and a whale of a guard. Johnny Boyd, a hard fighter who would never give up. Joe Gallagher, a consistent player in any position. Gil Charlstrom, the tall boy who played center. Swede Hansen, a light haired lad who played well in any position. Mike Meyer, a steady and dependable guard. Sidney Van Dyke, an easy going lad and a consistent guard. Shorty Greenshields, a little fellow with speed to burn. Francis Dailey, a very dangerous lad in any position. Z JJC One Hundred Sixty-Six Joliet Junior College Chronicle September 21.

The annual rush to reserve J.J.C. play tickets was the cause of an accident which occurred outside 299 this evening. No one was seriously injured but some people ' s feelings were badly hurt. December 17. Some of the alumni came home to spend Christmas with the eld folks at home. December 18. The Charm School was given in the auditorium this evening and proved a great success. We all thought that Wayne Graham was funny before but now we know it. Who would ever suspect Fran Groth of looking the way she did this evening? My dears, did you ever laugh so much in your entire previous existence? December 23. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everybody. See you next year. January 4. H ' lo, everyone. How does it feeel to be back in school once more? The popular cry today is O, I ' m so tired! January 5. Well, we are back in our harnesses already and telling everyone else what a good time we had over the holidays. January 6. Miss Barns ' classes have had a terrible history assignment. They were required to outline four chapters for one day ' s work. Miss Law is popular now. January 7. Not much doing today. I hear the chemistry kids are busy, though. Tomorrow ' s Friday. Hope there ' s a social hour. January 8. There will be a meeting of the Stars and Satellites and Growlers ' Club tonight in the old auditorium. Two short plays will be given. January 9. Dramatic Club fine. Not many there, though. Ask L. H. how she likes to be a sheik. Real winter today. I heard the history papers came back so I suppose some will be quitting school. January 12. Everybody ' s getting ready for the tests. Some are even starting to burn the midnight oil. There is such a pleading look in the eyes of all who gaze on such as A.F.T. January 13. Some are expecting tests tomorrow although the real finals are later on. January 14. Last warnings are numerous but we are comforted by the thoughts of vacation after exams. January IS. There is an air of real earnestness in the library now. January 18. No one has any time to look at anyone else and many who are doing their best to become sylph-like are thrilled to death to find they have lost pounds and pounds over the week end.

(Continued on Page 182) One Hundred Seventy-Eight What is News, anyway? That depends a good deal on you. If you ' re one type of person, news is anything startling or sensational — the sink- ing of a ship — an earthquake — a riot. If you ' re another type, news is the report of social functions. If you ' re some- body else, news is final scores at the ball-field or race-track. But no matter what type of person you are, news is also information about the things you need and use in your every-day life. If there ' s a new style in coats or shoes or gloves — that ' s news. If there ' s a new type of golf club or radio battery or vitamin — that ' s news. If there are im- provements in automobiles, new records for the player piano, a better tooth-paste — that ' s news. You get all this news in the shape of Herald-News adver- tising. It ' s pretty important, advertising is. It keeps you informed about all kinds of things you need to know. It helps you. It saves you time and mistakes. Read the advertisements in the Herald-Xews. They are there for you to read. To miss them is to miss news.

They haven ' t been treated fair, cause others broke training too. Xo good shall come from this. Nov. 12 — In seven different rooms twinkled the message that seven students were requested to see Mr. Givens after school. Which they did. His face was sober, grim and serious and he said, said he, ' ' You have been selected to serve on a most serious committee. You ' ll get no ' thanks for what you do, and it will be a lot of hard work to investigate those boys who have broken training. Come back to- morrow and tell me what you decide, yes or no.

JOLIET, ILLINOIS Two Hundred Tweh IVY DAY ORATION (Continued from Page 143) ories of those who, having been called before their time, are not with us today. These few days mark the parting of our ways. What our future holds in store for us is unknown to all save God. Upon this eve of our graduation we are. filled with determination and eagerness to realize long sought ambitions. May success be our lot in these efforts, but let us remember that success requires not only preparation but also perseverence in effort. Let us aspire to success such as that expressed by Mrs. A. J. Stanley in her work The Man Who Achieved Success — ' ' He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a better poem, or a res- cued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth ' s beauty, or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had, whose life was an inspiration whose memory a benediction. Today we plant this Ivy as a symbol of our progress and indelible memories enacted here. We hope that this plant in its growth will be a living memorial of our class and an inspiration to our future lives. May our progress grow and our influences spread, rivaling this plant, and may our lives, centered in this institution, ever feel the force of that current which has carried us through the past four years, and like Holmes ' immortal Chambered Nautilus, ever increase in quality and service. We pray that the Great Teacher will continue to guide our lives and may he see fit to nuke of them honorable lives, a credit to ourselves, to our school, to the world, and to His Kingdom. J. T. H. S.

JEFFERSON ST. Opposite Union Depot Two Hundrev Nineteen THE XATIOXAL CONTEST (Continued from Page 123) had to be abandoned. Again it seemed that we could not go; this time final examina- t ; ons interfered. Then, about two weeks before the big meet, a representative from the Xational Association visited Mr. McAllister and Dr. Smith and showed how a suitable schedule could be so arranged that only the last examination would be interfered with and which would return the boys in time for Baccalaureate Sunday. Still, with the boys ' welfare in mind, Dr. Smith put it before them to vote upon. It was decided to GO by a decisive majority of 50-12. Friday morning, at ten thirty, the band formed. As soon as last minute checkings were completed, they put their grips on a truck and were escorted to the station by the grade school band. Soon the regular Rock Island train pulled in, followed by two cars bearing huge signs— JOLIET HIGH SCHOOL BAND ILLINOIS CHAM- PIONS 1924-1925-1926. The band piled in and were soon settled in the two cars. Just outside the La Salle St. Station the cars were cut off and taken through the hole in the wall over to the B. O. main line. Here a diner and engine were added, and the band had their own little train. The band arrived in Fostoria about seven-thirty and were greeeted by their Fostoria sponsor who commanded a squadron of cars that whisked them to the high school where headquarters were established in room 21. Mr. McAllister had de- cided it best to play that evening; so they made a quick change washed up, and made ready to tune up. About 8:30 they went to a nearby church that was at their dis- posal and were tuned up by Ralph Cissne. Just before going over to play, the boss came in and gave the fellows the kind of a last-minute talk that makes a fellow want to give everything he has. At ten the band played, and then made a parade of the town. The next formation was at noon Saturday for the parade of all bands. On the march, their snappy step and dazzling uniforms seemed to sway the crowd, for they received great applause all the way. Immediately following the parade, they formed for the massed band concert. The three judges directed. Mr. Robinson of the King ' s Band, Canada, conducted the Stars and Stripes Forever , Mr. Maddy of the University of Michigan band led the huge ensemble in On the Mall , and Lieut. White, head of the Army Band School at Washington finished with Barnum and Bailey ' s Favorite . Then — then they announced the winners. They started with the fourth, Louis- ville, Kentucky; Third — Ogden, Utah; Second — Fostoria; First — The plucky band that pulled in last night at 7:00 and played at — , but by this time Joliet was being yelled by 5000 pairs of lungs. Well after all, they couldn ' t think of coming home without being on top of the world; they always have and — ALWAYS WILL. Unable to accept an invitation to play a public concert, the band now national champions, gathered their luggage and were taken to the train. After a short wait the special train pulled in, and the return trip started. On arrival the band was astounded to find, instead of the few friends they expected, a screaming multitude, not seen since that memorial Armistice Day 1918, at the station to greet them. After a short parade and congratulations by Mayor Sehring and Dr. Smith, the band dis- persed, state sectional and national champions.
