The bonds of group life are being drawn closer by living conditions today, and people themselves are aiding in this by organiz- ing and joining clubs. Now. people in every occupation are coming to realize that clubs are desirable, and are taking part in club activities- For proof of this one need only look about at the many different kinds of organizations that there are in a single community: clubs for business and professional men and women, literary, dramatic, athletic, art, needlework, social, science, and church clubs, charity groups, and many others. Obviously, then, there must be some advantages to be gained from participation in the activities of these clubs. A great advantage to be gained from club membership is the fact that the members can be widening their education all the time. Women may make excellent housewives and successful mothers, and yet if they stay in their homes all the time they will get into ruts because there are not many chances for them to be improving their general knoweldge. However, if they belong to clubs, they will hear lectures and talks of great educational value as well as interest. Topics of the day are discussed in clubs, which give the members necessary information on what is happening in the world. Everyone must know how to get along with everyone else in order to fit in comfortably with the complex group life that there is today. No longer do people live great distances from each other. They live in compact groups and are interdependent for the satisfaction of their needs. In a club, different types of women in different walks of life get together and work together for the best interests of their organization. They form friendships with people whom they would not meet otherwise, and find out that the world is much, much larger than just the scope of one ' s home and friends. Club women make more desirable citizens of their country and of the world, because they have learned not to be selfish and to play the game within the limits of the rules. They realize that certain duties rest upon them and that there are certain privileges that they must grant their fellowmen. They learn to regard the voting privilege more seriously and to use it more intelli- gently. The modern labor-saving devices which are being showered upon workers of today, especially upon housewives, are enabling them to spend less and less of their time on their work and to devote more and more of it to the pursuit of happiness. Clubs meet this demand for entertainment with such wholesome things as desire for self-improvement, good music, good art, the right kind of literature, and an interest in the happenings of the day. It is needless to say that this method is infinitely more desirable than for women to go to all the matinees the city affords and to seek dissipating rather than uplifting enter- tainment. To be of real value to humankind is, without a doubt, a worthy purpose in life. But how can women do this: This problem, also, is solved by women ' s clubs. By bettering the educational advantages in their own community by doing charity work, by aiding foreigners to become Americanized, and by bringing to one ' s community the better kinds of entertainment, only a few of the duties of women ' s clubs in every community, the members can be of great service to others. An institution which enables women to improve their general knowledge. 57 XXIET JUNIOR COLLEGE LIBRARt JOLIET, ILLINOIS to widen their circles of friencis, to become better citizens, to employ their spare time profitably, and to serve humanity deserves the approval and co-operation of everyone. The great movement toward women ' s clubs all over this coun- try and most of the civilized countries of the world has for its purpose the inspiring of womanhood with higher ideals, with eager desires for the better things in life, and with the knowledge that happiness can be found in unselfish service. May it meet the same measure of success as it grows that it has now. in its infancy. Erma Schwab. ' 27.

I |r This has been found to be true in the biographies of great women in - history whose lives are a challenge to womanhood today. The age-old prophecy. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy is very applicable when we consider the demands on women today. There are diversified methods of securing the needed recreation, and. there can be banished all monotony of life, leaving peace, joy, and happiness. Athletics or gymnasium work is an important recreation in which every- one should participate. This type of pastime is not only a pleasure, but many benefits may be derived from it. It promotes good, sound physical fitness, a clear mind capable of deep thought, and good health in general. Without these fundamentals success is impossible. Outdoor sports, such as horseback riding, tennis, hiking, golfing and skating are very enjoyable pastimes. They afford opportunity for nature lovers and admirers of the beautiful to become acquainted with God ' s great out-of- doors which is so gloriously wonderful no pen can give adequate description. It is inspiring to know that the world is so full of a number of things. I ' m sure we should all be as happy as kings. Another type of recreation that is helpful and essential to success is social recreation. This tends greatly to broaden a person ' s outlook upon life and teaches consideration of others. Did anyone ever attain a dazzling success all alone? No. there must be help and co-operation. Everyone must rely upon a fellowman for something. The wider the sphere of friendship, the better the chances are for success. What is more enjoyable than wholesome sweet com- panionship? It makes life more worthwhile and the joy of living more com- plete. It makes possible a better and more intelligent knowledge of the human race. Social recreations are of many types and character. Whether it be dancing, parties, or just informal get-togethers, there is always something interesting for ' the participant. A person ' s avocations or hobbies can be classed as a recreation. For example, a stenographer or secretary may be very fond of music. This desire for music may be a recreation; for in her leisure hours her mind can become so riveted to her music she will entirely forget her business. When she returns to her work she will be much more ambitious. You never hear her complaining of her work. A desire for cultural things can be acquired to help obtain success. It will prove interesting and helpful in many ways. It is satisfying to know the finer things in life. Literature, drama, art and music offer something of intrinsic value to everyone. Last but not least some time should be given to church and welfare work. After you have provided for your physical, social, and mental needs, you cannot neglect your spiritual life. No matter the race or creed, there is only one God, and there is work for everyone to do toward making the world safe for Christianity: first in living your own life the very best, then helping others to live their best. Summing up all these various types of recreations, you can readily see the opportunities there are to secure the needed and essential recreation required for success in any type of work. Work will mean more to the individual if there are other things to enjoy. But, the worker should ever strive to make his life a fully successful one, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. Success will then be certain, and there will be great joy in accomplishment and deeds well done. WiLMA Bartling. ' 28.

Jack, can ' t you wait till we get home. ' You ' ve been harping on that subject for blocks. Well, here it is. Now, for pity sakes, be quiet. Jack looked dumbfounded. But — but Jenny. he stammered. I have — Where did you get your purse. ' ' I have it here. Oh! now you ' re trying to be funny again. Aren ' t you.- ' But Jenny I ' m not. Here is your purse. I wanted to have some fun with you: so I took it from your pocket on the street-car. You silly boy! Always in some kind of a mess. You must have gotten your hand in the wrong pocket and taken someone else ' s. Think! Maybe some poor girl or woman is worrying herself sick because of your fooling. Let ' s hurry home and advertise immediately! What kind of a purse is it. demanded Jenny. She took the purse from her brother and discovered it was a rather un- usual kind, to be found in curio shops. It was small, and made of tan leather, much like her own, but. obviously, more expensive. It contained about twenty-five dollars and several old coins. No papers were to be found, however. They continued home and in the next morning ' s paper the following notice appeared : FOUND: a small tan purse near Broadway and Chicago Streets. Owner may obtain by calling at 406 Northwestern Ave. and identifying. Call be- tween four and six p. m. During the two hours, five persons had come to claim the purse: three could not identify it. One of the two remaining was an old man. at least sixty, with white hair and steely blue eyes; the other was a young girl not more than seventeen. She was hardened by contamination with the world. Her name was Lydia Dunham. Mr. and Mrs. Black were in the room with Jack and Jenny. I know it must be my purse. said Lydia. But. my dear young lady. exclaimed the colonel. I am equally certain that it is mine. I would allow you to keep it only it has been in my family for two centuries. It was found by my great, great grandfather in a curio shop. Can ' t you think of something else in it ' asked Mr. Black of the girl. There were lots of funny pieces of money. replied Lydia. Come in the other room, and I will tell you every piece. exDOstulatcd the Colonel. In a few moments both returned. Mr. Black looked bewildered. Now, you tell me. he demanded of the girl, what kind of money was in the purse. The girl ' s face was a problem. She did not know what to say. Then, both the Colonel and Mr. Black became excited and cross-examined her quickly. Questions rained from all sides. Where did you get the purse? In a shop. What did you pay for it. ' 62 Seventy-five cents. If you can get a purse for seventy-five cents, you must be a wizard, ' exclaimeci the Colonel. Finally the girl sobbed out this explanation: I needed money. So I took his purse on the street-car yesterday morning. Yesterday evening it was taken from me. My mother is sick, and I have to support her. Why, you poor child, said the Colonel, If you had told me in the first place. I should have helped. Take this money and come to me if you are in need again. Never steal. It doesn ' t pay. The Colonel had only wanted the purse and the coins. He paid Jack a reward of five dollars. Jack explained how he had taken the purse and said he would never fool that way with his sister again.

Coach Wykoff — Wyk as he is known by his men. is chief light- weight coach.

Heavyweight Football TT ITH only four Icttcrmcn as a nucleus and the lightest squad in the history ri 1 of the school competing, the Blue and Gold heavies opened the season at Spring Valley, battling to a scoreless tie. Joliet opened the conference season at Elgin a week later, losing a hard- fought battle on a rain-soaked field, 10 to 0. In the first quarter a fumbled kick was turned into a field goal by Elgin, and in the last half a touchdown was scored by Kerber, her star back. An overwhelming advantage in weight kept Joliet on defense during most of the game. Wekerlin in the line and Rent- ner in the backfield played outstanding ball. Two weeks later Coach Becker ' s charges journeyed to East Aurora. Bril- liant end runs on a steady march from midfield to the goal line, with Busch carrying the ball, featured in the first five minutes of play. Rentner scored on a delayed plunge. East recovered a poor punt on our 25-yard line and evened the score on a series of off-tackle plays. Just before the half ended. Rentner ran 50 yards from punt formation, stepping outside at midfield. The second half was even until the closing minutes when Shindle received a pass from Witte for East ' s winning touchdown, the final count being 14 to 6. ' Wekerlin and Kaluzny played good ball in the line. West Aurora opened the home season against a crippled Blue and Gold team. Munch ' s punting featured a scoreless first quarter- ' West fumbled to start the second period, and Munch, scooping the ball, ran 50 yards to a touch- down, which was not allowed. A blocked punt resulted in the first score for ' West, and then Apsit scored two touchdowns. He featured the visitors ' attack, but Grass, their big threat, failed to gain ground. The final score was 22 to 0. 66 ' ' f ' , ■% ' -fr ' ' - p 7 if - - ' t A fighting Joliet team surprised Rockford the following week on the Rabs ' own field. Cassioppi and Behr were helpless throughout the first half, which ended scoreless. Mowatt on one side and Kelly on the other stopped the Rabs at the wings, while Santoski at defensive center was a tower of strength. At the start of the third quarter Joliet carried the ball deep into Rock- ford territory, on a series of hard driving off tackle plays by Munch and Busch, with Floyd and Santoski adding good interference. An intercepted pass was returned to midfield and then Behr cut loose for his only real gain of the day, ■ carrying the ball to the Blue 20-yard line. Joliet held three times on the one- yard stripe, the Rabs nosing the ball on the goal line on the last try. Joliet came back in the last quarter after Wood had intercepted a Rab pass, to con- tinue its off-tackle smashes, with Busch lugging the ball. A short kick placed the Rabs in position to score by inches just as the game ended. In a slough of mud, with rain falling continually during the game. Free- port made no headway against the Blue on Richards Field. The Pretzels ' weight advantage of 20 pounds per man floundered helplessly in the slime all through the game, which ended. to 0. Late in the second period Joliet made a first down on bucks, and then Emerson heaved a 17-yard pass, which Fuller, a substitute end, carried to the Pretzel 7-yard line before tackled. The gun stopped a possible score. In the final quarter a visiting back fumbled, and Emerson picked up the ball, skidded twenty yards for an apparent score, which was not allowed. Joliet lowered the curtain on the 1926 season by chalking up their only conference victory on Turkey Day. DeKalb, conquerors of Elgin, conference champions, came, saw, and departed on the short end of a 6 to score- Her well timed shift, with its bucking and short passing game, kept possession of the ball the entire first quarter. In the second period the worm turned and Joliet, with Munch hitting off-tackle, Keyes around end, and Sohmers and Fmerson adding short yardage, carried the ball to the Barb 20-yard stripe. Here Emerson tossed a 15-yard pass to Munch, who stepped over the goal line at the corner of the field. The Barbs tried everything up to triple passes before forward passes, but the Blue line played unbeatable ball and they did not suc- ceed. In the closing minutes Loose blocked a punt for a touchdown, but it was recalled and Joliet penalized for roughing the kicker. The season ' s lettermen were: Capt. Santoski, Capt-Elect Kelly, Munch, Loose, Fuller, Kaluzny. Mowatt. Hacker, Sabotnik, Floyd, Large, Meek, Wekerlin, Van, Wood. Rentner. Emerson, Keyes, Busch. and Sohmers.

Appi )reciation ::; ' HL Athletic Department of the Joliet Township High School takes this I ) opportunity to express appreciation to the many organizations and indi- ■ viduals for assistance and co-operation given during the current year. The student spirit has never been so fine. The faculty as a whole has done much to boost affairs in the department. Miss Hunt and the Journalism students. Miss Dickinson and the Public Speaking students are outstanding examples of those who have spent many hours in our behalf. Among the many supporters outside the school organization, we wish to mention the Joliet, Aurora and Plainfield Transportation Company, who so kindly donated the transportation for the basketball squad on their trip to the state finals and have at other times accommodated us at a financial loss to themselves. Occasions have arisen when ambulance service was required. Wun- derlich, Harris and Sontag have always donated their services in such cases. In their advertisements, the Woodruff Security Company has always shown a marked interest in our athletics by the wording of their ads and other- wise given their asistance. The business houses in general are always glad to lend a helping hand. To all in our school and in the business world we extend our hearty appreciation. 68 First Row— Oliver. ?eppi. Rac t(l-. Foil:.

Lightweight Football CjE HE Blue and Gold ponies opened the lid on Joliet ' s 19 26 football J season by dropping a hard fought game to Pontiac 6-0 at Richards ■ field. The game was played while good old Sol was working his hardest. Their opponents were heavier man for man, and Joliet was never able to over- come this disadvantage. Both teams played a consistent game. Pontiac scoring after a dazzling forward pass attack. In the second practice game of the season the following week, the ponies, displaying a smooth scoring attack, trounced an ambitious, beefy invading team from Plainfield by a decisive 26-0 margin. Seppi, sturdy sophomore star, ripped into the visitors ' line for two touchdowns v hile Booker and Ariagno each contributed one, Calosio and Robison, although they failed to score, did much in battering the opponent ' s defense. All the subs got a chance. Beat Elgin! was the cry in the lightweight camp on the eve of the first conference struggle- The Joliet Midgets were rounding into championship caliber and Joliet ' s one hope was to beat the Elginites on their own field. They did, 6-0. The game was exceedingly fast with Joliet ' s backs, especially Calosio, gaining ground on the Elgin ends almost at will. Joliet ' s prized tally came in the third quarter when Oliver sneaked through from the one yard line. The fighting determination of the Blue and Gold Ponies earned Joliet their first victory over Elgin in years. After a week ' s lay-off the lights traveled to East Aurora and won easily 32-6 on a third quarter rush, although they led only 7-6 at half time. The Blue and Gold won this game like all the rest by depending on an end running game, featuring Booker and Calosio on the scoring end and Robison, together with Seppi, on the interference, Oliver directed the team from the quarterback 69 - - I ' - ' J ( I Lightweight Football Lettermen QRIAGNO — At end he was a consistent though not spectacular player in whom his teammates have a world of faith and who always comes through in a pinch. Crombih — Always on the job and ready to go. With circumstances against him. his punting should have been used. RUNDQUIST — Steady as a clock with his heart always in the game and always pulling for his teammates. He played at a tackle post. Wood — When needed, he played tackle and could be relied upon to do his best. He was imported from New Lenox. Slack — A combination man at guard and half, doing fine work on both jobs. A little more confidence in his own ability and he will come into his own. Shppi — An injured shoulder kept him back at the start of the season, but when he got going he more than made up for it, either at guard or fullback. He was a hard hitting tackier and blocker. Watson — Next year with more experience will come into his own. but even this year when called upon he delivered satisfactorily. f 3 ' ' iSJr ' ' ' 4sS ' S Ai ' i i ■ It position. Ariagno, Bush, and Wenck appeared to be Jolict ' s best linesmen although the linework as a whole was flawless. ' ' ' ;, Joliet with victories over East High and Elgin, met West Aurora in . -- ' -- Aurora in their home game, winning again by a decisive 33-7 score. Three S of the locals ' touchdowns came after blocked punts, all executed by Meyers, ' ' playing a hard smashing game in the center of the line. Booker ' s kicking of field goals, and running of the ends behind well-timed interference was another feature. The next game was scheduled at Rockford. Yes, it meant a hard game and almost surely the Conference Championship. The teams battled on even terms throughout the first half with Calosio, Wyk ' s only triple threat man, outpunting Hartman. Rockford came back in the second half to open up with a passing game, but on one occasion in midfield the wrong man grabbed the pigskin, and before the spectators knew what had happened Booker, fleetest of fleet halfbacks, tussled and dragged it to the 8-yard line. Oliver took it over for the only score of the game. Joliet had beaten Rockford. Joliet must now beat Freeport to clinch the Big Seven Championship. The team remembered the previous defeats handed them by the invading Pretzels and were determined above all things to hand Freeport a defeat they would never forget. The game was hard-fought. Joliet leading 12-0 at the half-time. 12-6 at the three-quarter time. Freeport was threatening, but only for a moment, as the Four Horsemen were now perfectly saddled and running the ends in a most spectacular manner. When the smoke cleared away, Joliet had won a Championship, and best of all had defeated Freeport 24-6. The final game on Thanksgiving day was booked with De Kalb, and although not necessary for the Championship, Joliet wanted it on the right side of the ledger. It was no different. Calosio was shooting down the side- lines for 25 or 30-yards gains while his running mate, Booker, was equally efficient. All this summed up an 18-0 victory for Joliet and a clean Conference slate. The Blue and Gold from end to end. Ariagno, Bush. Wenck. Meyers. Slack, Rundquist. and Longley, had all done their part in Joliet ' s most successful season in lightweight history. 70 OASi, Meyers — A quiet boy who played the same quality of football, injured or in condition, and more than won the respect of his teammates as well as the fans. He played at center. HerscHBACH — Filed in at center when needed. Lack of confidence in his own ability was his greatest drawback but in reality he could make a good showing. Young — Ready and willing to serve at end when the occasion offered. With that attitude he would be welcomed on any squad. Oliver — As pilot of the team at quarterback, he did good work and with this experience gained, will make a much better field general next year. He is fast on his feet and can carry the ball or run interference with the best of his weight. RoBISON — As captain of the team he played at fullback most of the time. His services were of great value to the team and although not a spectacular open field runner, he was always a consistent ground gainer. Racster — Did not get much chance to display his ability but we will hear more of him next year. Booker — A spectacular ball carrier and open field runner at halfback. He also had the ability to use his interference to the best of advantage in ad- vancing the ball. He did most of the drop-kicking. Folk — A halfback who when asked if he could do a thing did not answer. I ' ll try, but said I can. He was fast and shifty. Calosio — A triple threat man at half. He punted, passed and carried the ball with equal ability and besides his greatest asset was running interfer- ence paving the way for a teammate. He had an abundance of courage playing just as well when injured as when in condition. Wenck — Another quiet unassuming boy. not a star but always on the job at guard. His specialty was running interference. MUTZ — A guard who did not get many chances to show his ability, but when he did, received a passing grade. Bush — Playing half the previous year, he was shifted to tackle this sea- son and proved more valuable to his team as he loves to hit and tackle them hard. He has a real football heart which is a good reason for his own success as a player. Da ' IS — teppcd in at tackle when possible and always made a good showing. LONGLEY — Played at end and while not a star, was always steady. For results and alertness he got them just when they counted most. v V ■s- ' - u (g ' ({1 tf l ' -Ji - r.--.,. - ' -V ' .t .. 71 3 First Kow — luhannseii, Kniersoii, Hodge. Back Row— Douglas. R.

Sixteen field goals to three for the visitors, tells the story. Munch. Kelly, and Robison led the attack. Tilden Tech was the second victim in the pre-season games, losing. 29 to 24. Kelly and Munch led the attack from the field, the score at the half being 15-10, in favor of the Blue. Accuracy in free throws with excellent guarding by Ariagno helped decide the contest. Brilliant defensive basketball, combined with a steady attack which was led by Robison and Emerson, provided the third win of the season at the expense of Harrison Tech. Harrison failed to count from the field until the final quarter, the game ending, 27 to 9. in favor of the locals. Bush and Sohmers showed up well in the last half. Elburn, with victories over two Big Seven teams, was the last of the pre- season games on the home floor. Munch and Kelly led in baskets while the defense of the entire five kept the visitors from tallying in the final quarter. The gun showed Joliet on top, 20 to 17. The first invasion of foreign territory was a costly one, though Joliet won from Gardner. 20 to 13. Kelly, star center and forward, tore the carti- lage in his knee, which proved the first of a series of serious injuries during the season. The defense of Ariagno and Rentner piroved the deciding factor in the win. Elgin, first conference opponent, lost her second successive start against the Blue and Gold. When the first quarter ended, the score board read, Joliet, J- 72 ■ -■-- I ' ' rj ' 7: Elgin, 0- Brilliant guarding by Ariagno and Rcntncr kept the visitors at bay during the next two quarters. Emerson put the game on ice with three shots from the field in the final quarter. The final count was Joliet, 22; Elgin. 12. Overwhelmed with 14 field goals, while the Barbs made three. Joliet reg- istered its second conference victory at DeKalb, 34 to 16. Robison and Emerson ran wild in the first half, and when the Barbs concentrated on them. Munch, Rentner and Ariagno found the loop with monotonous regularity. Bush went well in the final quarter, but Johannsen was lost to the team for the season, ■ through a serious knee injury. Ariagno. acting as captain in the closing min- utes, brought to a close the greatest career a guard has enjoyed in recent Joliet history. A most brilliant come-back sent Joliet ' s colors to the top in the West Aurora game. Facing an 8 to 2 handicap at the end of the initial quarter, Robison ' s brilliant offensive play forced Joliet into a tie at half time. Rentner ' s tip-off work, plus Emerson ' s long shots gave us a 17-12 lead at the end of the third quarter. Wilcox, chosen to fill Ariagno ' s shoes, burned up the floor with his speedy interception of passes. West High kept in the race only through accurate free throws, for they scored only one field goal after the first quarter. With one minute to play. Munch passed to Robison for the basket that won. 19 to 18. Rockford ' s all-star cast received the heaviest set-back of the season before a tournament-sized crowd. The score, 18 to 6, tells the story of the season ' s greatest victory. The Rabs scored just twice from the field, once in the first and again in the last quarter. Their star performers. Behr and Cassioppi, were held scoreless. Slowly, but surely. Munch, Robison, Kelly. Emerson and Rent- ner forged ahead. Brilliant offense and a remarkable defense administered Rock- ford her worst defeat of the year. The fracas at Ereeport was anybody ' s ball game until the final gun sounded. First the orange, then the blue, scored. The first quarter ended, 8 to 8. Kelly tied the score at 12 all just before the half ended, when Ruthc made good on two free throws and the Pretzels led. 1 4 to 12. Robison scored a free throw, the only point made in the third quarter. ' With a short time left he scored the basket that apparently decided the game, but it was not allowed by the referees. Joliet was fouled and the Pretzels made the free throw good, winning the game, 19-17. Criddle. star forward, sunk five goals, all from mid- floor, and was largely accountable for the win. With the conference championship at stake. Joliet faced East Aurora before a packed house. Displaying the most brilliant passing of the year, the Blue piled up ten points before East knew what had happened, when Robison, Munch, Emerson and Rentner scored in rapid succession. Rentner ' s wonderful work at center was a deciding factor throughout the game, while Munch played brilliantly at guard. Kelly in the third and Robison in the last quarter, helped pile up the lead. The score was 28 to 19. but that mattered little. What counted most was that Joliet had won her first heavyweight conference cham- pionship. Two post-season games were played before the tournaments. Both were used as try-outs to determine the personnel of the tournament squad. The game against Gardner was won by a 15-14 score, while. Lockport, playing against Joliet ' s substitute line-up during the second and third quarters, suc- ceeded in winning, 20-19. 73 £ f i : ' ' ' r ' iMr ' i 3 ' .O J Munch: Second year as Cap- tain, he led what critics said was the greatest team Jolict ever had.

Lightweight Basketball y =:; ' HE Blue and Gold Ponies started ' 26- ' 27 basketball season with only k J two lettermen on the squad, but in the opening practice game many promising men donned the suits of former Joliet stars and barely sneaked over a 17-16 win after a loosely fought battle with Crane Tech of Chicago. Hooping spectacular shots with consistent accuracy from all angles, Tilden Tech, also of Chicago, trounced our untried quintet in the second practice game on the local floor by a 33-17 count. The Blue and Gold Minors, after a week ' s vacation practice, started the New Year right by edging out Harrison Tech, another Chicago entry, 13-8, in a close guarding game in the local gym. No men were outstanding performers in any of these practice games although Capt. Bush and Calosio were coming fast. Elburn invaded the local hardwood the following Friday only to be turned back by Joliet ' s fast traveling ponies, 34-11, in a one-sided affair. Young and Longley scored often for the locals. The following night the Lights journeyed to Gardner and trounced the less experienced coal miners. 47-12. Calosio starred with 7 field goals. Elgin was Joliet ' s first Big Seven opponent. For the first time in years the local ponies proved themselves superior to the Watchmakers and over- whelmed them, 28-14, in a free-scoring contest. Joliet ' s newly perfected defense hold the Maroons well in check with Rundquist doing most of the heavy work. The following week the Blue and Gold aggregation, led by Calosio and Crombie, defeated DcKalb, conference champs, 20-14, in a hard and closely- fought battle on the Barb ' s floor. Rundquist, a semester man playing his last game at guard, turned in a stellar performance with 3 mid-floor ringers, while Capt. Bush and Longley were holding the Barb scoring stars helpless. 76 The l.ights next won a decisive victory over the West Aurora Ponies, 22-11, for their third consecutive conference win. Calosio, who rang up 4 field goals, and Booker, replacing Rundquist at guard post, led the victors ' conquest against the Aurorans. A week later Wyk ' s charges, neck and neck with Rockford in the confer- ence standing, met the Rablets in the local gym. The Red and Black invaders guarded the local Ponies closely during the first half, the score standing 8-5 in their favor. Crombie began sinking field goals form everywhere, and his team- mates broke loose in the final session and sank the Rabs ' hopes by accurate basket shooting and close guarding. The final score stood Joliet. 25: Rock- ford, 17. Freeport and Joliet were now the only remaining undefeated teams in the Pony circuit. It so happened that Joliet ' s next game was booked with the Pretzelites on the Freeport floor and this struggle was certain to pronounce the winner of the pony championship. Our sturdy race-horse combination, after the most bitterly fought battle of the season, emerged victorious by edging out the Pretzel Benders, 29-23. on a sensational comeback. Freeport had the edge in scoring until the final minutes of play when the locals staged a last minute attack and jumped into the lead. Crombie proved himself a dead shot at a forward post with 7 buckets and a free toss. The only remaining game on the Blue and Gold schedule was booked with East Aurora and it was only a matter of playing before the combination was pronounced Big Seven Champs. East High never threatened and when the final gun sounded Capt- Bush, Calosio, Crombie, Booker, and Longley walked off the floor bearing their second undisputed championship of the season. Lettermen lost by graduation are; Capt. Bush, Calosio. Crombie, Rund- quist, and Young. fej First Row- Second Rov Powell. — Jone. .Scl vilkn . . inifr. Mil I1i.nl. YELL LEADERS Tracy.

Bush — As captain of the team at center, he got his share of tip ofFs. was a bear cat at breaking up plays and had a consistent scoring eye. Booker — At guard he was shifty and fast, a star at grab- bing the bank, dribbling into the defense, and feeding the ball to a floor mate. Calosio — At a forward po3t he proved himself a fast and accurate floorman, not a star shot but one who con- trolled the ball most of the time, and then fed it to a team- mate. RUNDQUIST — Was only with the team for two games, due to the semester ruling, and while not a player the entire season his heart stayed with the team until they were pro- nouncd champions. He was a consistent scorer from long range. .£ «; ■- ; ' ' ' ■■«. ' i - - ' ' ■ ' j- ' ' ' ' ' ' - ■ ' ■ fi C ' ' - ' ■ ' ' ' ' :? ' C ' I - ' -- ' ' ' ? ' ' I ' ' ri ' ir , 78 i ! ' ' Ci , v .e.

Kelly led in scoring, closely followed by Robison. At half time the Blue had a 20 to 10 advantage, and in- creased that lead in the third quarter, while its perfect defense held Morris scoreless. The entire squad of Munch, Robison. Sohmers, Kelly, Booker, Rent- ner, Busch, Johannsen, Emerson and Wilcox saw service in the game. The vic- tory was not without its loss, for Robison was carried from the floor with torn ligaments, a severe handicap during the remainder of the games. The sweetest victory of the tournament came in the second round, when I.ockport ' s high-geared machine was wrecked to the tune of 33 to 19. Six hundred loyal Lockport rooters shouted with joy as the first half ended, with their team on the long end of a 6-5 score. The third quarter will live long in the memories of Joliet rooters. With lightning like rapidity the Blue and Gold avalanche swept through and over the bewildered Lockport defense until the end of the third quarter showed Joliet far ahead, 23 to 10. The bom- bardment did not cease there, for points continued to roll in during the final frame. Rentner scored the basket that put us ahead at the start of the half, and was followed by Sohmers, Munch, Kelly and Bush, while Emerson fed the ball with a sureness that placed his teammates in position to score many times. Critics said it was the finest bit of playing a Joliet team displayed in years. The easiest win was the semi-final contest against Peotone- Twenty- three field goals sent the score soaring to dizzy heights, the final tally being 52 to 16. All ten men played, each participating half of the time. Bush and Munch led in the scoring, with Sohmers and Kelly close behind. Rentner, Booker, Wilcox, Johannsen and Emerson all scored points. Coal City, by virtue of its victory over Chicago Heights, was Joliet ' s 80: ;-f lc - «-., ' . ' ■ ' ' ' •■■■= ' -.j ' : .,L :i -y. ::i:f )l -, . ' s-; ' ' Opponent in the final game. They gave us a plucky fight, but our defense was so near air-tight that they scored only three field goals, all from long range. The Blue and Gold made nine goals, Kelly counting four. Munch and Rentner two each and Sohmers one, while Emerson and Johannsen played creditable floor games. Joliet had won the district title by a count of 23 to 11. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Joliet Township High School showed school spirit before, but never has a united Joliet high school pledged support to its team in as fitting a manner as the assembly before the Wheaton game. Led by the band, two thousand loyal Joliet students, with Blue and Gold streamers, paraded the loop in the sea- son ' s greatest demonstration. Joliet Loyalty had a more sincere meaning than ever before and when we faced Wheaton in the opening round of the tourna- ment, it was with a feeling that was not to be denied. This was the cleanest game Joliet played all season. Fouls were so scarce that only one free throw was registered. It was speed against speed from the opening whistle. Beautiful passing, uncanny interception of passes, and per- fectly timed shots, all played their bit in a half that was deadlocked at 10 all. Jens, Wheaton ' s stellar forward, counted first. Emerson evened the score. Jens scored again, and Kelly dropped in two short shots to send the Blue ahead. Longley tossed a long one and Jens dribbled in for another. Then Munch tipped in a follow shot, but Jens put his team ahead with another long bas- ket- Emerson tallied a beauty to knot the count just as the half ended. Third quarters have a habit of deciding games. Joliet stepped on the throttle, and when the smoke cleared away we found that Munch had scored twice, Kelly once and Emerson tallied a free throw, while Wheaton was held scoreless by a perfect defense. The last frame was a fight to the final whistle, Munch and Kelly counting again. Rentner and Sohmers. though not scoring, were valuable cogs in the victory. Joliet Loyalty had won, 21 to 16. Anyone can cheer when winning. Joliet Loyalty stood the acid test when Morton high of Cicero defeated us in the semi-final game, 23 to 11. Morton secured a lead and then played a stalling game. Kowalski, her giant center, and Rondinella. stellar floor guard, were the main cogs in a machine which, on this night, scored more points than Joliet could muster. Try as they might, the Blue and Gold could not score when they had secured possession of the ball, St. Charles defeated Morton in the finals, 28 to 17, but failed to show anything at the state tournament. We have already offered our congratulations to Morton. Her sons have since proved their basketball superiority, winning the National Championship at Chicago. Hail to you. Morton, anci may you be as proud of your achieve- ment as Joliet would have been, had the Blue and Gold taken your place in the basketball sun. ■ ' - aj : ' ;r ' ■■ - «1 r i ' X.

P ,, Shurson Oram Calosi Ferguson The 1926 Half-Mile Relay Team ( XNE of the best, if not the best, relay team in the history of the school. V was the comment offered by one of Joliet ' s leading athletes. The 1Q26 team was a wonder team only because of constant co-operation with each other and Coaches Fargo and Wykoff. As is usual, J, T. H. S. is represented by a good relay team every year, but this team can hardly fall in that class. Perhaps the best performance recorded was that made at the University of Iowa, when they ran the half-mile relay in 1:35, Better times have been clocked, but not in a meet. At Iowa, Ferguson missed third by a nose and came within a yard or two of first place. At Urbana in the state meet a time of 1 :35 was also recorded. Due to a very slow track the team got first in the conference with the poor time of 1 :37, but the superior class was shown when they led the field by thirty yards. The personnel of the squad includes: Shurson, Calosio, Oram, and Fer- guson, Calosio is the only veteran back for this year ' s team and is also captain of the track team, Shurson is not in school, but expects to go away next year, Ferguson is attending the local Junior College and is constantly working out. His old form is still in evidence. Oram, who is now attending the University of Iowa, seems to just burn up the track. He was elected captain of one section of the Iowa Freshmen team and Iowa coaches seemed to think he will have a bright future. So far we know little of this year ' s team, but we earnestly hope that they will live up to the reputation offered by their predecessors. 82 .. ' ? ' ?i: ' - ' - ' ' ' lA ' J- ' if ' ,;. ■ ' - ' -:!

Al- 4 ) though Joliet had a large squad out, only a few of last year ' s lettcrmcn reported. The first dual meet was with East Aurora on April 23. Lawson took first in the 880 yard and mile grinds, and Rentner, Booker, and Sohmers took firsts in the high jump, the pole vault, and the discus, respectively. Joliet was swamped in the sprints and lost 93-38. The tryouts for the state preliminary meet, that was held at Elgin were given to all members of the Blue and Gold track squad. The Blue and Gold track team dropped its second dual meet of the season to Bowen High of Chicago by the count of 59 3 to 71 73. Sohmers copped first in the discus and the shot put. Rentner won the high jump. Booker took the pole vault honors with 9 feet 5 inches. Bush won the javelin throw with a heave of 141 feet. Wilcox hit the tape first in the 440. Lawson won the 880- yard grind in 2:08 l IO and allowed his teammate, McKeand, to pull up first in the mile in 5:02 7 10. Captain Calosio was forced out of this meet as in the first with an old leg injury. Joliet tied Elgin for fourth place in the district qualifying meet held at Elgin. Roy Bush and Robert Lawson won the privilege to compete at the State Finals at Urbana, May 20-21. Rentner was tied for second in the high jump but lost the toss, with his rival and was kept out of competition. While only two of the boys qualified for the State meet, all who competed at the state meet were invited as guests of the U, of Illinois at the Interscholastic events. i K . | S • ' -W • ' -,:- -vr t - ' - ■ .■H, •r- ■■y c- ■ ' % .?■) i i -( ' € ' 1 1 h i ' ■ ' ■ 5 t [ ix: f- ' i ' 83 ' ..

At the time this book goes to press, only two meets have been played, but many more have been scheduled. The Iron Men showed real ability in both these contests, and as a result scored slams in both singles and doubles competition. The first meet was that with Lockport. Not a single set was lost, and the superior class of the Blue and Gold was easily demonstrated. Elgin was the next victim. While furnishing the Joliet team with a little more opposition, the Watch Makers were able to cop only one set. The Joliet team showed much improvement and Coach Kirby ' s men held high hopes of winning the State meet at Urbana on May 20 and May 21. The conference meet was held at Joliet on May 28. The personnel of the 1927 team is as follows: Singles: Longley, Miller, Powell; Doubles: Munch and Ricker, Jones and Nelson. X ' l ih - i i - ' ip , 84 ' i¥ f £ ' K [ X ' SM ' t.

L, KirBY Kathrine Abell e ' fREAT interest was shown by the girls in all branches of athletics this year. We had hockey and soccer last fall and basketball during the winter. Later in the spring we interested ourselves in baseball. Lcnnis, track, and Red Cross Life-Saving tests. The girls displayed much enthusiasm in the spring sports. There were fifty-five freshmen, twenty-three sophomores, fifteen juniors, and ten seniors out for the various events. Forty-five signed up for swimming. The baseball tournament was held in March. The sophomores won the final game with the seniors; the juniors gained third place and the freshmen fourth. The inter-class tennis tournament of and Gretcben Wagner- 926 on by Agnes Crossen Track had been tried for two seasons very successfully, and so it was with us again this year. The freshmen won the meet of 1926 while the seniors came in for second place. The teams were: Seniors: Emdin, Watjus, Fitch. Robbins: Juniors: Clement, Holmstrom. Keagle, Brown: Sophomores: Abel, Cassivari, Schwab, Almberg: Freshmen: Mills. Gicrich, E. Johnson, Barnes, I ibke. The events in a girls ' track meet are: high and running broad jump, fifty and seventy-five yard dash, relay, baseball and basketball throw, and hurdles. The sports are not alone of interest to the girls. We have our social times along with the rest. Our dance held in the boys ' gymnasium in honor of the football teams was enjoyed by all. The freshman girls were given a welcoming party in the girls ' gymnasium, to ac- quaint them with our organiza- lion. We had a mother and daughter tea at which the em- blems won by the girls during the year were distributed. Camp is a large subject to treat in a small writeup, so ask the girls to tell you of the games, swimming, and stunts enjoyed at Waukegan, t ■ ' ' -.I, ' o, L ' - ' ?:r . |- ' ? i ' ' f- 89 : . ,.

C ) Here we have an organization worthy of every crumb of praise which may come its way. It is only an infant in years — less than one semester old — yet it has made itself known in every nook and corner of dear Joliet High. The object of the Art Club is to promote an appreciation of art and a love of the beautiful among students and. if possible, among other Joliet citizens. The social career of the club has been confined, to date, to but three for- mal meetings. The first consisted primarily of the election of officers and a definition of the aims of the club. The second meeting was somewhat more elaborate, being in the form of a dinner at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Mrs. Adele Fay Williams, the speaker at this meeting, gave a very interesting talk on some of the former methods of teaching art in various schools. The most profitable affair of the club, however, was a trip to the Art Institute in Chicago. But the club is not inactive between meetings, either I Who is responsible for the array of peppy posters lighting up the halls and home rooms?

The club has done many things during the past year to further the worth of athletics in our school, among them the sponsoring of a banquet for incoming freshmen at which these boys, who will later make up the greater share of our athletic teams, were encouraged to report for athletic duty as soon as possible. Coach Fargo, Coach WykofF and Coach Becker were the principal speakers. 3t p ' W¥ ' 4 b i ' i- J ' W ' ' l:. i i itfp ' M 11 95 T:-; ' jf il.: ' i :J$3L i ' M.S. ■y l i .

Many years from now the members of the Camera Club can pause for a time to meditate and page over the Camera Club program album and recall the lovely times we ' ve had. Here we see before us a group of members gathered in room 406. listening to an interesting account of some photographic topic, given by one of the members. It is a typical scene of our business meetings. Here is a silhouette taken at Ruth ' s party. Our hike and the lovely party at Mr. Price ' s home appear. Several practical meetings at which we learned how to develop and enlarge pictures are found in our program album. The flash taken at our annual banquet, which was held at the home of our president, is one of the social events recorded.

We have good times together, too. while we are living up to this high ideal. One of the inter- esting meetings of the year was a Valentine party at which Valentines with Latin sentiments were exchanged, and Miss Anderson spoke of the origin, in Roman days, of St. Valentine ' s Day. At another meeting each member re- sponded to roll call with a poem about one of the Roman gods, a mythical character, or something pertaining to Latin. We play Latin games, and often Miss Anderson favors us with talks about her trip to Italy and Sicily, illustrat- ing them with post card pictures of the places she describes. Miss Mack and Mr. Grose, who are very much interested in our club, are often present at the meetings. We come together every third Thursday after school in Miss Anderson ' s room. 285. Since it was organized, last year, the Latin club has grown remarkably both in membership and fame. We are now looking forward to a thriving new season- Vale, Contio.

S. has passed through its second year _J of development. The purpose of this organization is to familiarize the students with the customs and habits of the German people. It also furthers their interests in the subject itself- This club is composed of German students of both High School and Junior College. The meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month. One meeting is devoted to business interests of the club and the next is devoted to a program such as a little German play or musical selections. At Christmas time an especially elaborate program was given, which was done up in true German style. Little amusing presents were given in which were written German verses. Then last but not least we had a genuine German torte, candy, and ice cream. The club has proved a great means of promoting social spirit among the German classes. Russ. Attaway.

KlRBY CfeHIS year marks the end of the fifth active year of the Hi-Y Club. 1 The meetings were lielpful to all as well as interesting as was proven by the good attendance at all meetings. At the beginning of the year, the four C ' s campaign was finished with Dr. Smith speaking on Clean Scholarship. All through the year the members have been helping Mr. Seamans. the new Y. M. C. A- secretary, collect the pledges to the new Y building. Mr. Seamans has stood by the club since he came to Joliet and has proven a very helpful and pleasing friend. A retreat was held at Lyonsville at which several Joliet boys were on the program. The Older Boys ' conference which was held at Moline was attended by several Joliet delegates. The conference proved very successful and the messages received at the conference were relayed to the members who were not so fortunate as to attend. The Father-Son Banquet held at the First Baptist Churcl: was honored by a talk by Dr. Smith. At the Teacher-Student Banquet. Mr. Seamans was the speaker and showed plans of the new Y. M. C. A. A sectional Older Boys ' conference was held the Sunday after Easter at Naperville. Joliet sup- plied forty-five delegates to this meeting. The Mother-Son Banquet was held May 3 at the First Baptist Church at which Miss Ida Cutler was the speaker. The Date Banquet, which closed the year, was the event that all had been waiting for. As usual, it proved very successful. R. E.

At the beginning of the year the organization was divided into groups, a girl from each group being appointed as leader. The main objectives of this organization are to promote closer relation- ship between the Junior-Senior girls and the underclasses of the school, and to help the poor and needy. Every Christmas the various groups are active in filling baskets which are distributed among the poor. Early in the semester a Girls ' Social hour was held instead of the annual Mother and Daughter Tea. The attendance was much larger than was expected, and this affair, at which dancing was the main diversion, was hailed by all as a great success. Music was furnished by the Collegiate Orchestra. The annual dance was held this year in collaboration with the R. O. T- C May 21. The affair was one of the most elaborate of the season. Approxi- mately 250 couples were present. ' ' M.

Ihe staff in charge of the newspaper has increased from twelve to fifty members, and the quality of the paper shows a corresponding increase. The newspaper is published under the direction of Miss Mabel F. Hunt, teacher of journalistic writing. All of the J staff have studied journalism long enough to be fully capable of editing and taking charge of a school newspaper. The students taking journalism for the first time are sometimes required to write-up small articles to get ihem in shape for the harder work they will face next year. The J High Journal is distributed to the students every Friday. Tickets with the numbers on them are given to the students in their home rooms which are redeemed at the J office. Many Journals are sent out each week to other schools who send us their papers. This system of exchange is good because it broadens our newspaper sense, brightens our newspaper eye. and gives us a chance to see what other schools are doing. This year for the first time the Journal is being printed in the school by the print shop. 105 . J J. :- i • ( ; . r W r ' n ' vca?; ■ i ?i ; ' ' . „f.- : ;s - First Row — C. Francis, G. Fairbairii.

It is the high school French club anci is open to all students who have successfully completed one semester of French. 1 he aim of the club is to foster social intercourse and provide a sort of laboratory where class subjects may be discussed and a background of informa- tion be given. All the members agree that they have very good times at club meetings. There are no dues or duties, and there is always an interesting program. They sing folk songs (the French soldiers ' song. Quand Madelon. and Cadet Rousselle are favorites) and discuss all kinds of subjects concerning France and its customs In this way they learn the legends and stories of the dif- ferent departments of France. Then, there are special meetings devoted to entertainment. At Christmas there was a party with a Christmas tree and gifts for everyone. Dramatizing French plays and holding conversations in French help us to acquire fluency in the language. The officers for the past year were: President. Florence Martin: Vice- President. Maisie Norton: Secretary, Mary Louise Wardley: Program Commit- tee, Elizabeth Brooks, chairman: Marjory Blatt. and June Hutchinson.

Our only difliculty was the fact that every time we got our guns, the sight; would be changed, thus making it necessary to spend a great deal of time getting them back in order, only to have different guns the next time. Of course we have had various social functions throughout the year, our main event being an initiation party in the early part of the year. But with other parties and hikes we managed to keep ourselves entertained. Nearly all of our members have medals.

T. H. S. do not know what our PubHc Speak- ing Club does, or what business it performs. 1 his club is composed of members of Miss Dickinson ' s pubhc speaking classes who wish to express that they are public spirited as well as being good public speakers. During the last year the club has managed two banquets at which noted speakers of our town spoke on the benefits of education. During the few months of basketball season the club promoted numerous assemblies to instill fight and determination in our teams. Before the tournament our public speaking room (287) became the workshop for the making of blue and gold caps and streamers. These were sold in the home rooms at the cost price. This proved a great success: so we decorated the gym in order that the color scheme might be entirely gold and blue. These decorations were made exclusively by Miss Hunt ' s Journalism classes and our Public Speaking Club. The extemporaneous speech contest was sponsored by the public speaking classes, the final speeches being made in an assembly on Friday, April 8. Both winners of this contest are members of our classes, so you see that we learn to speak as well as to establish public spirit throughout thd school, Ed. Crcmbie. Secretarq. SENIOR CLASS PLAY (Coniinued from pjge 46) R, AMOS WELLBY returns home, with a friend. Miller Gutteridge, to find the house in a turmoil. The servants have left Mrs. Wellby and the two girls, Betty and Connie, who have gone to a fashionable school and have come out. not knowing how to do anything. In the meantime Alice, the oldest girl, brings to the house four Russians as servants, a Grand Duke, Prin- cess, and a Prince and a Count. As the plot unravels, the audience discovers that Mary Mandsley, writer of detective stories, thinks that these Russians are a band of picture thieves after Mr. Wellby ' s collection of Old Masters. But finally it unravels in such a way that Miller Gutteridge is the thief. A minor plot is that these Russians are only high school students trying to work their way through school. Each Russian falls in love with a member of the Wellby lamily but finally after discovering these so called Russians are students they all turn away in disgust. Helen Stoddard. Ruth Johnston. 109 A .

A few of the most important of these are mentioned here. They held an assembly after the Sectional Basketball Tournament, thanking the stu- dents and public for their fine support of the teams: they gave an all school dance tag day for the benefit of the school dances and they sponsored a Hello- day which was considered a great success. They also took full charge of the clean-up day besides having dictionaries put in many rocims. A bulletin board in the lunchroom was placed there by the council. The council is composed of one representative from each home room ex- cepting rooms 299. 229. 3 37. these each having two representatives on account of their size.

The ushers are always present when school programs are being presented. When they usher for an outside program they are paid a dollar. If an usher can not be present, he at once notifies Miss Daley, who gets an- other to take his place. In this way there is always a staff which knows the floor perfectly. The main job of the ushers is to seat the people properly as they come in and keep the audience quiet during a program. All students picked to usher must be up in all their school work. The present ushers are: John Rymza, Robert Balch. Joe Murray. Her- bert Kellogg, Glen Tracy, Herbert Trackman, Webster Lang, Richard Stoltz, Robert Arthurs. Ray Stadler. Gordan Schanke.

To those who named it this seemed to involve all their hopes and possi- bilities. When the club was started the aims of its members were to learn more about the world of ours and the great ' superhuman force that makes it go. They tried to find out the possibilities of the nations from the oldest to the youngest. These same high incentives are in the minds oi those who carry cin the club today. The club meets every Tuesday evening from three forty-five to four- thirty. During this time a talk is given by some member on one of the many subjects included in the broad term of Science. The first of each month a talk is given by our instructor. Mr. Watson. These are open meetings. There are thirty-five members enrolled of whom twenty are regular at- tendants. Our president. Marjorie Lasker, is one who is loved and admired by all her co-ordinates. The ever ready interest of our instructor. Mr. J. S. Watson, keeps the club on a sound basis. Those entering the club must have assured averages of ninety or above: and to these the club wishes t© extend a cordial welcome.

In winning 1 ) the state title three consecutive times, it was barred from this compe- tition. Its soloists were admitted, however, and at the preliminaries in Aurora Raymond Tremelling won first in the clarinets, while Robert Stock placed third. Harold Emiley ranked first among basses while Russell Engelhardt finished second in the French horn section. Warren Wood and Andrew Barber won first and second, respectively, in the trombone class. The cornet second award went to Glen Henderson. The first two winners on each instrument went to Urbana, April 29, for the state finals. Harold Emiley again took first: Raymond Tremelling, Warren Wood, and Russell Engelhardt, second, and Andrew Barber and Glen Henderson placed in third. Last summer the band marched in the parade that dedicated the new Elk memorial m Chicago. Next the band sponsored the visit and concert made by the United States Marine Band. This was played in October before the large and well pleased audience. Then, as usual, when the football season opened they lent their inspiring pep to the teams. Then they made the trip to Elgin. Later the band accom- panied the basketball teams on their winning tour. During this season, the band headed a number of the largest and finest pep demonstrations in the his- tory of the school. During one of these, it introduced Joliet Loyalty, a product of Warren Wood, a member. The band paid a school debt, contracted when the Elmhurst high school chorus sang in our school the preceding year, by playing a concert there in March. The ditching and overturning of two of the cars enroute failed to mar a good day and a good concert. They met and escorted Secretary Wilbur in the same month. In early spring they began practice for their concert and contest. On April 1st the finest concert ever given by the band was played in the high school auditorium. Many notable guests were present. The program was a well balanced variation of heavy classics and light numbers and stunts. During the month of April, a picked band from about ten neighboring states was called to Springfield to play at the convention of the North Central Music Supervisors. Sixteen boys, the largest representation from one band, were selected from Joliet. The fact that nine of these held solo chairs is an additional honor. Mr. McAllister directed the large ensemble in three numbers. Council Bluffs will be the scene of the band ' s last activity during the school year. It will be the last episode in the careers of a large number of sen- iors who are regretful in leaving the band. A month in the C. M. to C. Camp at Sparta will wind up the band ' s fall calendar of 1926-27, Then for another season of accomplishments. lis i ' s jp_gj: ' ?Av rS ' ; ■4 ' -i - t ' O|i|o.- v! .

Collegiate Entertainers y =: HE Collegiate Entertainers are a group of girls, chosen from the best of C J our high school and junior college musicians, under the direction of Mr. A. R, McAllister. The wide range of talent shown by these girls, together with their striking appearance, wins favor with many audiences. Because of their programs which vary from the best of classics to the modern jazz, this orchestra has gained much popularity with the various civic clubs, as well as about the school and out of town. Whenever a high class program is needed, the Collegiate Entertainers are capable of doing their part in a praise- worthy manner. The Collegiate Entertainers were organized about three years ago; and after many changes which made for steady improvement, the work of this group is now of a very high standard. The personnel of the organization is: Eva Ward — first violin and student director. Bernice Sitar — second violin, Ruth HiETSCHOLD — banjo and character singer. Lois McAllister — drums. Nell Humphrey — saxophone and clarinet. Viola Ward — saxophone and interpretive dancer. Genevieve Sitar — saxophone. ' ■ Elsie Reitz — trumpet. EsTELLE Littlejohn — trombone.

Many new members were enrolled and an orches- tra of fifty pieces, symphonic in character, was practicing daily. School had been in session but a few weeks when we were called upc in to make the first public appearance of the season, at the Association of Commerce. The orchestra appeared at the Association of Commerce on several occasions at the request of the Woman ' s Club. Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and the Asso- ciation of Commerce. The orchestra then broadcasted from the Sha-bo-na station, Mr. Con- ' erse received many compliments about the way the orchestra handled the difficult passages in several of the numbers. Concerts were given at the following schools; Washington, Central, and A. O. Marshall, Of course, we must not forget the times when the orchestra played for assemblies or the concert given for the student body. Formal pro- grams were presented at the community concert and Richard Street M. E. Church. Music for the Bells of Beaujalois wjic furnished by members of the orchestra. The most outstanding event in the progress of the orchestra for the year ' 26 and ' 17 is the Orchestra Concert, held May 7 at Bloomington, Illinois.

Does not that date stand out in your mind as something important ' You might remember it in connection with the Frecport game, with just a tinge of regret. Again it would mean to those interested in music a step toward greater music appreciation throughout Joliet. The Bells of Eeaujolais charmed its hearers with its fantastic theme and the talent with which it was portrayed. The next important event in the life of the Mixed Chorus was the Easter Concert given two weeks before Easter Day. The program varied from the usual by working in a group of folk songs with the regular Easter numbers. The Mixed Chorus furnishes the personnel for the more select organiza- tions in the vocal department and affords the rudimentary training necessary to become a member of these various groups. D. Rogers. The Junior Chorus :; HE Junior Chorus, a thriving musical enterprise of J. T. H. S., is com- C) posed of sixty-five mixed voices, directed by Mr. Albert Hindle. In December the chorus presented a Christmas cantata entitled Bethlehem. by Bliss, which was repeated at the Shabbona Club broadcasting station and the Association of Commerce. LoRINE G.

O. T. C. battalion into four companies, the military band and a recruit detachment. With the assignment of godfathers to each of the companies the organization was completed, at least for a short time. The first showing of the R. O. T. C. was its appearance in the Armistice Uay parade. With the opening of the second semester came the organization of Head- quarters Company, an entirely new company, and Lieutenant Joseph Kaluzny was promoted to captain of Company B. January 15. marked the first honor competition in which Company D won. Company D again won in the second honor competition held on Febru- ary 2 3. Again at the third honor company competition, whi ch was held on March 5, Company D was successful Shortly following the third competition the R. O. T. C. unit was in- spected for rifles by a technical sergeant. The following day the preliminary inspection for honor school was held by Colonel Weeks. Numerous ceremonies and parades have been held on the parade grounds behind the school. Among the special ceremonies was the reading of the dec- laration of war on the German Allies by Mr. Marshall, in memory of the tenth anniversary of the declaration of war. The battalion is proud of the fact that they were able to furnish a guard of honor for Secretary of Navy Wilbur on March 3. The guard of honor was composed of the best appearing men from each company. The competition drill between Ottawa and Joliet which was held at Ot- tawa. May 6, and the annual Field Day completed an interesting and well spent year for the R. O. T. C. Eloise Kohlhagen.

The four-year students are: Merle Jones. John Seahafer. Leo Ruettiger, and Frank O ' Day. The two-year students are: WiUiam Dutkiewicz. Harlo Rapson, Frank Herman, Fred Matthei, Maurice Gorman, and Ignatius Zola. Merle Jones lives on a farm and spends his time in a mechanical way at home. John Seahafer is now employed with the Packard Motor Company, and is kept busy between his work and school. Leo Ruettiger is also employed outside of school: he works in the J. D. Strutzel Motor Company, and likes the work very much. Frank O ' Day is going to Junior College when he graduates and take up some kind of a business course. Of the two-year students three are doing specialized work. Frank Herman is specializing in auto elec- tricity, while Fred Matthei and Maurice Gorman are specializing in storage batteries. The auto shop has no special projects. The students get their work from outside sources, and do all kinds of garage work. The jobs done by seniors on cars are: Two Hudsons, three Dodges, one Buick, four Chevrolets. and Fords, A student taking up auto shop gets all the necessary experience so as to graduate a professional mechanic. 126 if ' ' o ( .

Dale Ferris, from mechanical drafting. Two graduates, Walter Geleta and Arthur Carl- son, are from architectural drafting. In the mechanical drafting Dale Ferris made a drawing of the ventilating system in the plumbing shop. Ingvar Tolf acted as chief draftsman on a job of making a drawing of a General Oil Burner, for that company which will be sent to underwriters for approval. Walter Geleta. architectural drafting student drew several plans of houses for blue print reading. 1 he BII students in architectural drafting are making drawings and models of homes. The best home will be sent to the exhibit at Springfield. The shop takes at least two inspection trips a year during which careful observations are made of mechanism and building construction. The industrial drafting department makes their own blue prints, Van Dykes and just recently added a new method of making prints called Ozulid process. The department is ready at all times to serve other departments in the school. It has already helped in making of supply reputs for R. O. T. C. Besides doing this and other school work, it has assisted local contractors in solving building problems. The department has found it necessary to place emphasis in the four-year course feeling that students can cover the work more thoroughly than in two years. 127 ' -. ci ; V? tjr -r.; ;, ' - ' .

McCoy, with his assistants, it serves to change little freshmen to great learned electricians. 7 his operation is done by giving the students experience in bell wiring, knob and tube work, cleat work, conduit work, and bench work. These make up what is called the first section of lab. After the student has finished this section he follows with any assignment the instructor gives him, as working on generators, transformers, electric motors, rotary converter, electric signs, railroad signals, telegraphy, and armature winding. These boys do repair work outside as well as in their own shop. They repair radios for different people. Once they repaired Mr. McAllister ' s vacuum cleaner, also Miss Barns ' cleaner. A job done in the wood shop was on a floor lamp. The plumbing shop, print shop, both had repair work to be done by these boys. The four-year course graduates of this shop are: Herbert Roden, Art Kennedy, Jack Kellog, and Francis Paul. The two-year course graduates are: Stewart Tripple, Alfred Riedel. and Valentine Sprajcer. Alfred Riedel. and Stewart Tripple both have done maintenance work, v hile Valentine Sprajcer specialized in radio. 128 te W ' ;:- . ; Tf- eACH call for , THE MACHINE SHOP The Machine Shop ACH year the machine shop attempts at least one project which is espe- cially noteworthy for a school shop. Last year it was an attachment for a microscope, built for the Chicago Board of Health. This year, in addition to several of the bench grinders like those built in previous years, wc are finishing four small drilling machines. This machine we believe equal to the commercial machines of the same type and capacity, and they represent for the school a real engineering achievement, as the drawings were made in our drafting rooms and the patterns in our own pattern shop. The parts were cast in a local foundry, the only help required from outsiders. Also this year, we arc building one two-cylinder, eight horse power, marine-type gasoline engine from patterns furnished by the University of Illi- nois. The boys who have participated with special credit in these two projects are Verner Carlson. Edward Zoran, Walter Liston, Alexander Maggio. Tom Juricio and Joseph Baczuk. Walter Stubler did a very creditable job in making wo lathe spindles for the Farragut School, and two for Mr. Staley of the Central School. All these boys except Baczuk finish this .June. Verner Carlson goes to the C. W. Stephen Co. of Chicago, who sell, maintain, and rebuild printing ma- chines. Walter Liston goes to the die- making department of the American Can Co. The other boys have not, up to May 16, selected their future employers. A-. 4t ' Co. (f- % ' 129 ■4A f. ' 0 ' ' ' I ' - ■ s ' ' -- 5 c f ' H ■ !

Many services have been rendered to the school by the boys, thereby reducing the large plumbing bills. The physics and chemistry laboratories received repairs, and the new tennis, courts were put into a useful condition by the help of the young plumbers. Edward Martin and Clarence Johnson have completed their four-year courses and arc entering apprenticeship, while Richard Lisdero, Earl Kaveny, Harry Casagrandc, Rodney French, -John Garavaglia and LeRoy Mill are completing their two-year course. The scope of the work done by the boys is: lead work soldering, laying out pipe plans, construction work, estimating, and general repairing. The boys are not apprentices but are merely learning the scope of the work. The daily routine followed by the instructors is one study period in the morning and one in the afternoon to balance the shoo work. The general purpose or aim of the shop is to raise the standard of work, develop efficient workmen, and to make the boys capable of worthy positions in the future. If this can be done a great deal will have been accomplished. Mr. Moote and Mr. Nickel deserve much credit for the development of good workmen and for creating a working spirit among these youthful plumbers. Burke Mead, ' 28. 130 ■-2 Ib-! J ' .f, .c ' ,4-4 ..ly THE PRINT SHOP The Print Shop XN THE vocational department the print sliop is a very important part. These young printers, upon entering the work, are given class instruc- tion for a few weeks. The student has a chance to see what part of the printing work he likes best or what part he is best fitted for. due to tlie rotation of courses. The second year he is allowed to continue to major in that par- ticular phase. According to the shop assumption that the best way to learn printing is to print the students are responsible for much of the printed matter used about school. For instance pass blanks, library slips, basketball tickets, com- mencement invitations, the High School bulletin and report cards, are just a part of the printed matter that the print shop is responsible for. Starting last February the print shop undertook the printing of the J High Journal our school weekly paper, and have received excellent training in the newspaper line. The only difference is that when a difficult problem is met with the whole class gathers together to thrash out the matter, each mem- ber offering a possible solution. The deacf-linc. the time set after which no material may be handed in, was set at Wednesday night, but during the tournament a short bulletin con- cerning the Thursday night game, was set up Thursday night and the paper came out at the usual time on Friday. The instructors are Mr. Herbert Warfel and J. E. Schneitcr. ;| 4T -i i t- ' ' ' % •■?

The largest project was the construction of a beautiful ticket booth to be used at the auditorium This piece of work was made by Clifford Robison. Howard Shrcffier. and Albert Wheaton of Mr. Mueller ' s class in cabinet making. Another project worthy of mention is a colonial secretary made by Philip Sorg. Each student is allowed to make one project a semester, such as a library table, cabinet, etc. John Platko, a former student of Mr. Mueller ' s, is now employed at the H. Love Cabinet Making Shop. The carpentry classes, instructed by Mr. Johnson, have completed many projects. They have made a number of play houses, garden arbors, arches with gates, two twenty-room martin houses, and some ornamental fencing. Work has been done in the gymnasium, as part of the regular work, for the flower and nature shows. All of these projects completed in Mr. Johnson ' s classes have a market value of nearly $900. Due to expansion of the wood working classes it was necessary to install another shop in the former forge shop room. This class, tauglit by Mr. Fishbacha. is one in first-year carpentry. The first-year carpentry class has made two miniature houses: one of them in a Dutch colonial type while the other is a cottage. Equipment such as lockers and tables has been made by the class for the new Scout lodge located in Highland Park. n j ••) ' :- : ? ' ' ' ■ 1 ' ' c- IT ' €f ' e ' IHT ' -?

' Home Economics and Nursing y HE home economics department offers its first two years of work on l J the unit plan of food, clothing and shelter each semester. •■ The two units of food in the freshman year are taught on the meal basis, and the girls develop some skill in meal preparation and an appre- ciation of the problems involved in feeding a family. The first food unit of the second year is devoted to a more specialized study of foods and their preparation. The food unit following this is a serving course conducted in the high school apartment. A cooking uniform and a simple school dress are constructed in the two units of freshmen clothing. The second year of clothing units is devoted to costume design, fabric study, selection of clothing, and the construction of a wool and a silk dress. The House and Its Care is the text studied in the two units of fresh- man shelter. The apartment is used for the practical work in this course. Girls who want to study nursing can take a nursing course their third and fourth year. This course includes home nursing, child care, and first aid. Any student taking this course who wishes to enter a hospital after she graduates will be given some credit for her course taken in high school. Girls who want to continue the art of dressmaking may take an advanced course in it their third and fourth year. Sometimes they are called to aid dressmakers or work in the alteration department of a department store. They receive experience as well as practical knowledge in this way. r - 3- - (: J M J ' it f ' ' - ' ' ?- c ' ' ' ? ' ' ' ' - ' ' 133 ;:f s j .

Dickinson. The Goose Hangs High was a more serious play than is usually pre- sented by the Junior College. The story revolves around the Ingals family. Mr. and Mrs. Ingals have unselfishly sacrificed that the children might have a college education. The children rush home to spend the holiday season: to all appearances they have become selfish, flippant, irresponsible and extravagant. But when their father suddenly loses his position because of politics the children prove their real worth and even get their prim Grandmother Bradley to help get things happily settled. Everyone was delighted with the breezy twins, Lois and Brad, and the college is proud of its two splendid character actors, Albert May and Leighton Ahlberg, as the politicians, — difficult parts. And we all want to know Wini- fred Day when she is a grandmother if she looks and acts as she did in the play. Each one interpreted his or her character exceptionally well, including the dog, and the young actors and actresses were rewarded for their efforts by being invited to repeat the play for the benefit of the Boy Scouts.

' The College Club FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President RAY McGlNNIS President ELIZABETH PETTIGREW Vice-President HOWARD Lloyd Vice-President ROMONA POWELL Secretary ELIZABETH PETTIGREW Secretary FRANCES GrOTH Treasurer RUTH MORTVEDT Treasurer ALBERT MAY y - HE College Club is a collegiate organization made up of the old Dra- V J matic Club, Musical Club, and Growlers. With this new organization came new spirit, ideas and pep. Program committees were appointed at the beginning of each semester. The first semester it was composd of Frances Barclay, Romona Powell, Charles Dillon, Stewart Wilson, and Latreyte Lang. The second semester Helen Keltic, Howard Lloyd, Winnifred Day, Al Noble and Ruth Mortvedt were chosen. On the first Monday of every month a meeting of the club was held. The November meeting was in the form of a football program, and the fresh- men beat the sophomores by one point- (The sophs believe that if Spuds had been knocked out sooner they would have won. ) In December there was a mock Senate meeting presented by Mr. Henry ' s political science class: we all enjoyed hearing Lillian McCullock with her snappy remarks portraying Sen- ator Borah. A distinguished speaker, Ralph P. Robinson, MacMillan ' s first mate on his polar expedition, talked before the club at its next meeting and gave pic- tures of interesting places and life in the Arctic. The dramatic life of the college was not forgotten, for in F ebruary, four plays were presented and enjoyed. (Students, remember the alphabet — A. B, C, D, E, etc.) In March three clever speakers — Bob Duffy, Al May, and Clyde West — represented the college in a debate with Mr. Douglas ' public speaking class on, Resolved, That the prohibition amendment should be amended to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer under government control. By a unanimous vote of the judges, the college team won. (They would. ) The Story of the Telephone, a motion picture, was shown to the club in April by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company. Everyone enjoyed it. Social life in college was not forgotten, for every month there was a dance with music furnished by orchestras right off the campus. There was a hard-time dance, a ladies ' choice dance, and at this time most of the girls re- membered that Faint heart never won fair shick. On March 25, a dance was held which many collegiates will not forget for some time. A warning is given to those concerned — thou shalt not even be tempted by a teensy-weensy bit of ice cream or thou shalt meet the consequences. Good luck and farewell to all ye members!

Feytel VII, set out for a nine months ' cruise on the Sea of French Literature, in September. 1926. Our captain, Monsieur Lockner. and our chaperone, Madame Babcock, kept up our spirits even in the niost dreadful storms of grammar. Madamoiselle Pettigrew helped them along: while Madamoiselle Mortvedt had difficult time trying to extract from the passengers their precious francs. Madamoiselle Van Horn, Monsieur Rogan and Monsieur Duffy planned our stops which were always wisely chosen. We were invited to stop on the shores of Arc-en-Ciel, where we spent a pleasant two hours with the inhabitants. During the latter part of January we passed through a dangerous fog in a strait which was filled with jutting rocks. Al- though our yacht was knocked about quite severely, not one passenger was lost. The most important stop we made was at the isle Chamber of Commerce on February 28, where we entertained our friends of Arc-en-Ciel with a spring- time festival. The gay East wind blew us home in June. 1927. and we wel- comed the bright shore lights on the Sea of French Literature. We were glad to be back for a few months ' rest. As we stepped off Feytel VII, I know we all realized how much it meant to us, and we will welcome with gladness meeting those who share the name of Feytel. ■ Ruth Mortvedt, ¥ (■J 4 ' . : «A 148 yy . s , ' Ciir; Front Row — hilj.

Clifford Wurtz. and Secretary-Treasurer. James Lor- don. I understand that I was brought here to serve as a conversation labora- tory and for social reasons. October. 1926 — Goodness! but there was much puzzling going on as to what to name me. It seems that I was to remain nameless, but at last they called me Arc-En-Cicl. meaning rainbow. December, 1926 — Timidly, but somewhat successfully, my members enter- tained the second year students, Feytel VII, at a The Dansante in Snapp ' s Cafeteria. All success was due to the efforts of Madame Babcock, our spon- sor, and the program committee, consisting of Romona Powell (chairman), Grace Bailey, Howard Lloyd, and Gertrude Thurm. February. 1927 — Spring is here! Such were t he feelings of the mem- bers of Arc-En-Ciel at the Spring Fete given by Feytel VII at the Chamber of Commerce. This ends my activities for this happy and successful year. .i:,- ' c,- ;,y7v. -r ' - ' ;,: 149 % ' ■• S: ' ' ' 4 ' S ' i .t ' 4Mf ' i ' Wm ffe., «1 _.; ' Si-, 7 ' ' 7 ' Front Row — Mortvedt.

Mortvedt, .-: Pretty easy job for those that don ' t go out for anything, it seems to me. All they do is come out and yell while the rest of you work. It isn ' t work, it ' s fun and we feel sorry that they all can ' t come out for basketball and track. And you know we have lots of good times tcigether- Every month, we have a tea. Tea! I knew there was a catch somewhere. Aw — quit your everlasting howling. We have fun at teas. At Christ- mas time we entertained the faculty in the auditorium. For a program, the Terpsichorean club gave a little act, ' In Santa Claus ' Workshop. ' The ' toys ' served tea from the stage. Then one time we had a treasure hunt. It surely was fun to run around the halls as fast as we could and not get stopped. Sonietimes we just play games and dance. That sounds good to me. Then after the basketball season, we had a banquet at Davidson ' s, good cats, good speeches, good stunts, and everything. We are going to have a lunch- eon in May, and then we ' ll have our Monograms and emblems awarded. Say — that must be some club, all r ight. It sure sounds like a little bit of all-right to me. Well, you join next year and we ' ll show you that it is all-right. Actions speak louder than words, you know. :-- , ' ' . ' J51 Junior College Basketball =;; ' HE 1926-27 basketball season was not what would be termed a brilliant C J success. The squad consisted mostly of freshmen who acquired a great deal of experience, though not many victories. When Coach Mike Gates issued the call for candidates a goodly number of aspirants answered, although veterans were conspicuous by their absence. Under Coach Gates ' lead- ership the squad worked hard and was moulded into a fast clever aggregation. There was also promise of considerable competition in the Conference as Mor- ton, Chicago Normal, and Elgin were nurturing title aspirations. The opening game of the season was played at Morton (last year ' s title holders), where the Purple and White quintet received their first setback, emerging on the short end of a 29-16 score. Lisle invaded the local hardwood for the first game and defeated the home quintet to the tune of 30 to 20. The locals next invaded Elgin, but were turned back by the Watch- makers, who with the aid of Soup Semeny, former Elgin high school star, won by a score of 30-18. The next home game was scheduled with Chicago Normal, one of the strongest teams in the conference. In this game the combination of Ryan, Reece, Carey, and Elynn, strengthened by the addition of Dom Ariagno, former high school star, played its best game of the season. The local crew amassed 10 points in the first half, due to the accurate shooting ability of Doc Carey, who garnered a total of three field goals. In the second half the Teachers got going and sunk two baskets to tic the score. Duffy was injected into the fray but the Profs walked off with victory due to the work of Singer in the last few minutes of play. Final score, 21-16. Elgin invaded the home court for the next game but were sent back home with a score of 25-23 against them. In the last five games the collegians showed plenty of fighting, especially in the North Park game, but were unable to add another victory to their record.

Much interest prevailed throughout the season, and at the beginning of the season Coach Kirby had over a dozen men reporting for the squad. The greatest foe that prevailed was that of in- eligibility, but four men were present for every meet. Only one meet had been played at the time this book was printed, but three or four other meets beside the Conference meet had been scheduled. Joliet ' s first opponent was Morton. Two singles and one doubles match were played. Godfrey of Joliet won his match after dropping the first set to Switzer. but rallied sufficiently to cop the next two sets. Lloyd of Joliet fell victim to the superior drives and serves of Raysa, the Morton captain. Raysa won the first set 6-2, dropped the second 3-6, and finally came back to take the match 6-3. In the doubles. May and Duffy showed some brilliant team work to defeat Raysa and Nedwed two out of three sets. The Joliet team dropped the first set, but came back to win the last two sets. The Joliet team showed constant improvement, and Coach Kirby had high hopes for the matches. TRACK As this book goes to press plans are being made to send those boys who are interested or have ability in track work to the Northern Illinois Junior Col- lege Conference Track meet held in May. Ferguson and McKeown will prob- ably be the mainstays and probable point-getters in this meet. 153 XC ' . ' ' ' - ' ' i ,i ..J ' €L-■ s! ' ' ■ ' ■ ' J vJ? L. ' i . ' jS ' f = .J?

' 29 V f PALE moon was glowing softly in the starlit sky, the shadowed trees 1 I were grouped silently around the vine-covered balcony upon which the ' cold moon cast a white radiance, and the whole scene seemed to be under a spell of romantic expectancy. Somewhere in the distance a wandering group of musicians thrummed a soul-soothing love ballad that drifted dreamily across the scented night. The curtains parted, and a white clad figure glided slowly from the shadows and into the Hght of the moon. It was that of a girl, a young and very beautiful lady, apparently of noble birth. Her well- poised head was covered with a cluster of tumbling golden curls, and her win- some mouth was as crimson as a new rosebud. Breathlessly she leaned over the railing and strained her anxious eyes toward the dim forest. Ah! a rendez- vous! A few stolen golden moments, like cool wine to a thirsty man, like honey after water, mystical rite of youth preserved for ages down, under the kindliness of the moon, two hearts together, two souls as one. As a unit of the night, a shadow stole cautiously from the friendly darkness and swiftly approached the balcony. With one light bound the lover sprang up the side of the balcony, deftly climbing with the aid of the strong, century old ivy, singing in a deep tremulous voice the meanwhile: Elizabeth — so-o-oul of me-e — Heart of my-y-y heart — Hear me-e-e-ee. The manly voice ended in a shrill shriek as the artificial and none-too- strong ivy parted with a weary groan and our fond Romeo was threatened with the rocks below — but hark! A rescue! The agile Elizabeth lurched forward with a loud grunt and swiftly stretching forth a well-muscled, strongly mascu- line arm, clutched poor Romeo by the hair of his head. Let go! you bounder. yelled Romeo, scrambling frantically for a foot- hold but mostly suspended by his hair. Oh. shut up. sap! disgustedly commented Elizabeth in a husky voice; by this time firmly attached to Romeo by two clutching hands and with her feet, perilously tangled in the volumes of her skirt, teetering dangerously up and down behind her. That ' s about the sixtieth yard of rope greens that you ' ve ruined with your darned clod-hoppers. Be still, dumb ox, or ' drop you. Where in the thunder is that lap-eared director anyway! She peered anxiously over the glaring footlights which revealed her surprising countenance with a mis-laid dab of brilliant red on the lips and two glowing spots of red camouflaging a layer of downy fuzz on her cheek bones. Ow! Ow! wailed Romeo. If you don ' t let go — I ' ll — I ' ll — Of all the brainless individuals! And just when things were doing so splendidly and only one more day for practice. What a gift from the gods for an intelligent, at least slightly intelligent being with feet that weren ' t as clumsy as an Irish policeman ' s. Oh ye gods! ye gods! raved an excited spindle-legged little man, frantically waving his arms and rushing back and forth on the stage. Kindly assist this fascinating heart-breaker to a firmer foothold, drily suggested Elizabeth, with her golden tresses balanced treacherously over one eye and the tight bodice stretched over her none-too-slender middle, slowly but surely taking leave of the skirt, because of the energy of her life-saving efforts.

Love Conquers All (Continued from page 166) The next half hour intervened with the earnest efforts of Mr. Delrose to inspire Pug Malson, ahas Romeo, the soulful, with a trifle more gracefulness of figure, the same which Pug mimicked patiently but doing all the worse for his trouble. At last in despair, Mr. Delrose decided to enact the final scene and in a few moments, enthusiastic youths, previously stationed in the wings, dashed madly about clutching bushes and small trees over manly bosoms modestly garbed in the loudest shades of red, blue, green, yellow or what have you. ' ' Most probably all mixed together in zig-zag massacres. In a surpris- ingly short time the scene of rendezvous vanished in thin air, and in its stead was established a richly decorated throne room with the majestically carved and decorated throne in the back center shrouded by elaborate tapestries and sur- rounded by inviting lounges, heavy high-backed chairs and small curiously shaded tables. At the impatient command of the nervous director the actors scurried into place, hopping on one foot while securing gay garters, so char- acteristic of that period or straining closely shaven chins over high lace collars. Finally a possible attempt at righteousness was m ade but alas! Fair Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen and the chair on the right of her distinguished father, the king, who was just plain everyday Bus Keoner, was painfully vacant and the lack of her pleasant presence reflected strongly in the face of Mr. Delrose, who excitedly fumed. Eliza! Eliza! I mean Elizabeth — come — come into — at once — this room — at once. I say! Come! Allen Dale, if you do not respond at once to my command I shall be obliged to — ■ — ■ I ' m coming! I ' m coming! But where in the sam hill is that gol-darned petiskirt that goes over this rig-a-ma-role? demanded Elizabeth in a plainly exasperated voice as he advanced to the foot-lights in his so-and-so ' s, a tightly laced bodice of dull gold, a will o ' the wisp scarf drifting gracefully around his broad shoulders, the previously mentioned, easily noticed hose, broad-toed oxfords and a surprising expanse of bare legs broken only by two oddly shaped bony knees. The few snickers and guffaws that greeted his boudoir-limited appearance were quickly diminished under his threatening glare. At last the wandering attire was found cuddled close in a hole in the stage entrance room window, and once again safely attired for public appearance Elizabeth reclined languidly in her place of right, gingerly fingering her crushed and aching ribs, closely confined under a very unmasculine corset. ' Well, where ' s the courtier? demanded Mr. Delrose. Ben Turner strikingly clad in Lincoln green advanced conscientiously onto the stage. No! No! You idiot! Your horse! Sfe Struck by a sudden surge of memory, Ben darted out and after a few moments of hurried hoof-beating outside the wings, galloped serenely into view on his imaginary horse. Back, simpleton! Leave your horse outside the castle. roared Delrose. - J ' With a sheepish look Ben again retired to the wings and after much stamping and clattering at last stalked boldly into the scene of action. He advanced to the center and bowed ceremoniously to the king, paid his due respects and with many flurries and flutters confided to his majesty that the desired prisoner was secured without.

After a few moments confusion in which Lady Margaret snapped Sir Doso ' s garter with such vigor as to cause that outraged gentleman to soundly smack the dear lady over her ear and knock her carefully curled coiffure into King George ' s ample lap, the apparently haggard and very wearied prisoner, who turned out to be none other than our friend Romeo, advanced into notice closely surrounded by burly guards and bewhiskered representatives of the Kelkoroskian army. At the sight of his dear wan face and thin, weary figure, tender-hearted Elizabeth burst into sobs and tottered from her place only to trip over Sir Rubes neatly timed foot and sprawl all over the dusty floor in er best Sunday-go-to-meeting raiment. With a muttered naughty word, she made a flying dive for him only to be checked by the raving Delrose, and peace was again restored. Romeo strained toward his dearly beloved, but his guards unceremoni- ously draped their arms round him and he submitted to Balck Despair. The king began to hum and haw and at a whispered suggestion from Lady Margaret thoughtfully demanded of the prisoner how such a common place rascal as he should dare to court his one and only daughter ' specially reserved for Prince Boef de Boo of Boobshire Mansion and moreover the culprit had been known to run down and shoot the king ' s famous deer, a deed worthy of death, and death should be at sunrise tomorrow by the coal- shed — no! the inn-door. Poor Romeo, not capable of such excitement after his many escapades, collapsed under the effect of the sudden news. Gentle Elizabeth gave one heart-rending shriek and staggered backward to fall in Sir Doso ' s ready arms but, sad to relate, the titled gentleman was at that moment tying his shoe lace, and the dear lady hit the floor with a resounding bang. After a few stunned moments she sprang to her feet, gathered her full skirts around her battlescarred knees and went on the war path with Doso ' s scalp the main desire of her raging fury. For a short time chaos reigned and a clamorous free-for-all ensued, including gents and the undignified lady-im- personators as well, which was remedied only with the aid of a thick rod that bounced none too lightly on unprotected craniums. The final moment arrived, when heartless old maids fussily began stretch- ing their scrawny arms ceilingward as they arranged their hats and soft-hearted old ladies let a few tears drip off the end of their already blushing noses mainly. just the time when the stern old papa softened up and big-heartedly consented to the marriage of his dutiful daughter to the village bootblack or butcher boy. Knowingly lucky old King George and all his devoted subjects turned their backs on the lovers, who drifted into each other ' s arms, embraced slowly, walked languidly toward the garden but alas! Cruel Fate! Poor Romeo in a rush of ill-fortune, planted his number elevens too firmly on Elizabeth ' s frail petticoat and with a tremulous shudder the skirt and waist parted and Elizabeth ' s thin hairy shanks were disclosed to public opinion just as the cur- tain descended. 174 This Enlarged Clothing Store of Tesdall Pratt l Co.

Mgr. ,;- ' ' ' - , 1 X. 202 Compliments of The Chicago and Joliet Electric Railway Company The Part which this bank takes in Joliet ' s business development is evi- denced by the extent to which it handles financial transactions of business houses in various lines. And its STEADY. YEAR TO YEAR growth indicates the public confidence it enjoys. The service of the Will County National reflects the industrial and commercial activities of this entire territory of which Joliet is the business center. A Helpful Hmt School will soon be over, Dull skies will be bright: While you have vacation Play with all your might. Then when autumn cometh And the school bells ring. Don ' t act like you acted In the early spring. Put your shoulder firmer Up against the wheel. Make folks know you ' re working That ' s the way to feel. Then when you are called for To go out to work. You won ' t have to falter: Neither will you shirk. Y ' ou can gain more knowledge If you think you can. By good perseverance Make yourself a man.
