'23 Officers President - Mildred Howard Vice President Katherine Beardsley Secretary Caroline Swannell Treasurer - Clement Lambert Advisers Miss Lecour Miss Lindberg Miss Jeffers Purpose To promote a great interest in the study and appreciation of music. The Music Club was formed six years ago by a group. of students interested in the study of music. The only limitation placed on the membership is that the members must have had at least one year of music and be interested in the things for which the club was formed. The meetings have been held on the third Monday of every month. The lives and works of foreign and American composers were studied. A memory music contest was held at the last meeting. The club owes its success in 1 large measure to the sponsors. Fifty-three KANKA-KEYNGTE STAFF First row: R. Bakery M. Teifkeg J. Smithg R. Lind: H. Cookg H Iohuson M. Adelman. Second row: R.

The Prep club was very fortunate in securing Miss Marie Leonard, Dean of Women of Illinois University, who spoke on: The Four Highways. In her talk Miss Leonard stated the following: . All life should be a progression, a growing on and on. Education is a pro- cess whereby youth is brought to self-realization and character is formed by the constant choosing of the best through daily work.

Candidates for the team were Warren R. Hickox, Fred Swannell, Biz Pombert, Earl Tupper, Henry Leavitt and other ancients. - lr It ll 10' It When-Attorney S. R.

Lecour: I am heartily in favor of athletics in the schools. Dr. G. H. Lee: Of course I approve of football in the schools. Nobody but a fogie or mossback would oppose the game. Rev. Creighton: Our hardiest and noblest young men like the games that demand courage and skill to win and are willing to risk all the dangers involved. Arthur Swannell: The new rules have eliminated the roughness of the N game and the game is one of the best to my idea. 1 -' f '.

Troup, James Langan and Albert Zwisler. iklkilvkfk 1907-Considerable newspaper space was devoted to the question of kissing. Principal Smith of the high school stated that he did not believe the pupils of the local schools indulged in kissing games. I have never heard of anything of that kind, he said. lf the high school students play such games at their parties, I have never heard of it. I know there is nothing of the kind done around the high school building. One teacher said she knew that the children had too much sense. Another said they are too shy. lk Ik 271 ik Sk 1908---Underclass men ducked three members of the Senior Class in the fountain that used to be in the court yard. H. J. Troup was one of the victims.

Henry Norris, of Norris Sz Son, way back in 1910 ran the 220-yard dash in 23 4-5 seconds. Robert Dunlap, '13, political boss at High School in his time is now a suc- cessful lawyer in Denver. Carl VVolf, of Huff 8: Wolf, played the flute in the school orchestra of 1912 -and Harry Thompson, of the Purple Peak, played drums. George Block, '14, of the Fair Store, was one of the first broad jumpers the school ever had. Morgan Beaumont, '17, eligible bachelor and popular clubman, was a bas- ket ball star and actor of note ten years ago. Lyman Powell, the photographer, was a main stay on track and football teams twelve years ago. Arthur S. Mann, now Mill Superintendent at Kroehler's, was a member of the relay team of 1910, which established a record of 1.41 1-5 for the half mile, and that the record still stands. Paul Diamond of Vanderwaters was a man of much import at school in 1914. Eugene Anderson, '18, the well known laundryman, was the champion heart breaker and high school sheik. Paul Lecour, of Lecour 8: Sons, was captain and quarter back of the team in 1911 and had a leg broken at Watseka. The Gregg brothers of the City Engineering Department were always to be counted upon in school athletics. YYY? CLASS OF I922 We, the Class of 1926 feel that this is a very good opportunity to show the Class of 22 the appreciation of the High School for their gift of the multigraph to our institution. Many of the students probably never have used the multigraph or know what it is, but those who have worked with it will agree that it saves a lot of money and time. Tickets for all high school affairs, green cards, report cards and various other forms are printed by means of it. In fact it has cut thc print- ing bills considerably since we have had it. The following is the financial report of the Class ot 22 : Balance on Annual ......................................................... .....

We feel that the Class of 22 has had the proper spirit and are back of every movement that is for the good of our high school. This class is now plan- ning to raise money to buy something useful for our new building. We, the Class of 26 are glad of having this opportunity of bringing to the attention of the high school and alumni what the Class of 22 has accom- plished and we extend to them our full cooperation and hearty approval of the work that they have done and wish them success in any venture that they may take up in the future. Seventy THE K CLUB TROPI-IY is The K Club trophy is awarded each year to the best all around athlete in the high school. The cup was presented in I923 by the K Club, an organization of alumni who were and still are interested in -high school athletics. The award is made each spring by the club to the athlete showing the best ability and sportsmanship in various branches of athletics. The cup can only be held one year by any one person. The following are the previous winners of this honor: ' l923-Joseph A. Taylor. l924-Maurice R. Cryer. l925-Francis T. Cooley. Seventy-o FRANKLIN N. TRACY It is a great pleasure to dedicate the Annual of 1926 to Mr. Franklin N. Tracy who was the Superintendent of the Schools of Kankakee for forty years. Previous to his coming to Kankakee, he had been principal of the Georgetown public schools for four years, and principal of the high school at Danville for one year. He took charge of the Kankakee public schools on July 12, 1881. and re- tired in July, 1921. When he retired there was an enrollment ot 2846 pupils oi' whom 545 were in the high school. He certified to 1073 students as graduates oi the high school, and has kept in touch with most of these throughout the world. During his administration, all the schools in the district, except the Cen- tral and Jefferson schools, which were enlarged, were built. Oi course, many changes came in the curriculum, the most important additions of which were Manual Training, Domestic Science, a Commercial Department, two foreign languages, Music and Art, In March, 1907, the Penny Savings System was plac- ed in the schools and during the period of Mr. Tracy's control 577,353 were de- posited in the banks of Kankakee for the pupils. Mr. and Mrs. Tracy were married in New York state before coming to Kan- kakee. Mrs. Tracy taught with Mr. Tracy six years before coming here, and was four years principal of the high school here. Mr. Tracy has been honored by being the President of the State Principals' Association, President of the Northern Illinois Association, and President ol the State Teachers' Association, of which he is now a delegate by virtue of his hav- ing heid the office of President. Since 1884 he has been an active member of the National Education Association. Mr. Tracy was respected by the teachers, parents, and pupils in Kankakee, and he said that it was their cooperation with him that made his administration a success. Kankakee is proud to have hail him as their Superintendent of Schools. tr t its X? 14,4 :f 7 t ,E 'fzgfg-,X , ., 4 il., SX 'fi Xi A ,J IM N ITS, .avi ,Q L - I ,. ml li Lg'-' ' Y E ,. u gl I ,N 'tg X 4, 2' ff Sewentyvtwo CLASS PARTIES The noble Seniors of K. H. S. held an October picnic at Baird's cottage. It was a much talked-of affair, both before and after, and about four-thirty cars began to roll for bump? away from the high school. By five o'clock everyone who had not met with casualties or diversions had arrived. The main event and object of the party, which of course, was eats was de- layed slightly because a fire was required. Mr. Ziegle undertook to light the charcoal but was relieved to have the help of the undaunted Mr. Anderson. Weiners and their accompaniment of buns and pickles didn't go beggingg but it was fortunate that no one played tricks with the lemonade because the Seniors indulged so heartily. CO1' perhaps someone did play tricks, and that was why it went so fast.l Games and stories were followed by plenty of peppy songs, led off by Harold Hoermann's uke. The Seniors held their Christmas party in the spacious recreation hall of our venerable building. Those lovely old games of which we are all so fond passed off rather quickly and silently because the Seniors were straining their ears for Santa's bells. Of course they don't believe in him-but he brings some very fair presents. The long enduring and patient Christmas tree rendered the hit of the evening. The many appropriate and useful gifts were unwrapped before the envious eyes of those who had not yet been rewarded. Gladys Owen entertained with a prize interpretation of the Charleston, after which a delicious lunch of coffee, cake and ice cream was served. The Seniors had reached that proper stage when coffee is allowed and they didn't have to go home before ten o'clock. Hurrah!! lil!! The first Junior-Senior party was held February 24, at the Y. M. C. A. With such a mix-up of antiques and ultra-moderns, infants and grandmothers. no wonder Miss Stewart came as a nurse. Her first aid kit was seldom needed, although they might have used adhesive tape on the punch bowl. The grand march was worth the car-fare to Lincoln Park. The prizes were awarded to Mae Teifke, a bold, bad pirate, and to Roy Barber, becomingly gowned in the latest from Paris. The program was provided by Stan Freborg, and consisted of a nutty dance, a nuttier dance, a buggy ride, and a melodrama. Mr. Ware referred the games and the indoor track-meet, during which many records tand a punch-bowll were broken. The cake was delicious. Hill!!! The Junior's October picnic was held at Butz's grove, It was a moonlight hay-rack ride taken in trucks. After a bumpy ride a bunch of hungry Juniors mobbed the steak which had been beautifully fried Crarej at the bonfire. Attempts at games succeeded fairly well in spite of the proximity of the Senior picnic. Being dutiful children, the Juniors left for home at nine o'clock. 0118415 The Sophomore picnic was held in the sewing room because of the damp weather. Everyone played several new and interesting games, including win- kum, and had a great deal too much to eat. The Juniors who attended con- descended to remark that it was a nice party, and the Sophs unblusbingly dub it a howling success. ' Seventyethrec The Freshman class held an October picnic at Beebetown. On the way out the eats car ran out of gas, but the valuables were salvaged by a truckload of Freshmen, who got them to their destination fairly intact. An initiation was staged by the Freshmen! tProbably to save the Sophs the trouble.J Though it was a cold night, ice cream was served, which everybody warmed at 'the fire before eating. Ullilki CLUB PARTIES The Hi-Y Girls have held a number of successful parties throughout the year. The Date party was one of the most interesting. It was a mask affair and in- cluded several quite wonderful characters: with Sally Ann and Charlie, and Heine and Fidelia, and about twenty-five other hilarious couples, there was no chance for any dullness. Nor was there dullness in any wayg most of the girls sported a flashly sparkler or two, and there were rumors of June Weddings and Breach of Promise suits intermixed with the perfectly scandalous flirting that went on right before the eye of the chaperone. The Inter Hi-Y party was held at the Y. M. gym. It was a newspaper party, with Mr. Ware in charge. He secured a printer's pi at the beginning of- the assignment, with a result that the party was a scoop. till!!! The Circle Francais enjoyed a Weiner Roast at Hawkin's Grove, Tuesday, September 29. A treasure hunt was staged which enriched Miss Reeves with a basketfull of kisses Cshe refused to sell theml, and Forest Keiser with a minia- ture accordion. After a quick disposal of the weiners and their orchestra the members trooped off to play games on the hill in the moonlight. Thrilling! Romantic!-and then Miss Lecour announced that it was almost 8130: time for all good little Frenchmen to be home! The October meeting of the French Club was held as usual in the sewing room. There were games and songs but the features of enjoyment were a talk by Martha Wheeler on the enjoyment of L' Opera and a realistic description of the horrors of Le Grand Gingnol by John Smith, and plenty of appetizing lunch. The circle Francais held its Christmas party at the high school. Some of the members fVirginia Foley, Clermont DeSelm, Ed. Rodenbeck, Stan Freborg, and Glen Mertenl entertained with the playlet, Boule de Gomme. The inter- pretation was excellent. There was an unceasing and dramatic flow of language fsupposed to be Frenchl. When the actors forgot their parts they hied to their imaginations and let the cues fall where they might. Some thrilling love letters were composed fand perhaps sentb after which the main events of the evening, Santa and the eats, closed the program. iii!! The Boys and Girls Glee Clubs held a hilarious party in the Sewing Room, February 15. Games and the piano were played, and several snappy Charleston steppers entertained. A coat-grabbing contest decided the partners for the refreshments, or rather, for the supper. Fruit salad, candy, cakes, ice cream, cocoa and crackers were served! Seventy-four The Commercial Club picnic was held at Beebetown. A fire was built, and Cowboy Bray and Bob Devine alternately burned the weiners and their fingers for the benefit fo the crowd, while Mr. Jenkins valiantly guarded the marshmallows. After the eats Mr. Hoermann's Uke presided. The Commercial Club Christmas party was a lovely affair. Everybody took part in games, and Mr. Jenkins draped himself under the mistletoe. Valuable ten-cent presents were distributed by Santa. Lunch was served in the cooking room, and Cowboy Bray demonstrated his method of preparing the marvelous dish, Mulligan. 113119. The Music Club picnic was held in October at Beebetown. Everyone spent the time before supper trying to get warm around the bonfire. Mr. McIntosh's won- derful skill as chef points either to a great deal of experience in the past, or to a recent and thorough course of training. The members entertained themselves by playing some new games until their ardor was cooled by an application of rain. At the November meeting the Music Club studied Beethoven and some of his selection. Henrietta Kammann and Betty Wheeler read his life, and Kathryn Beardsley and Jewett Kepley played some of his best know compositions. After the' meeting there was a social hour followed by refreshments. Maxine Roski rendered several giggles for the company's amusement. ll l l l l PEP Friday, the thirteenth, is not always unlucky. That was the day of the circus parade, presided over by the Hi-Y Boys and participated in by all of the other curiosities around High School. It was kindly explained to sixth and seventh periods that the south door was locked, the fire escape guarded, and truants must go out in full sight of everybody. The parade formed in the rcord time of three minutes and marched up Indiana to Court Street, four abreast. The line was over a block long. A double quick brought us to Schuyler, where Izzie's Ford stopped and directed the yells. The Rube band contributed to the melodious nature of the occasion. A snake dance from Schuyler and Court down to East Avenue and Merchant Street just about finished some of the girls. It was a grand whirl, though. Down to Station and around again to Schuyler was accomplished at a fair speed-everybody objecting to be last. The Gelino squad finished matters off with a wonderfully artistic goose-step. The feature of the occasion was the dash up Schuyler hill, but the tragedy happened at the top: Izzie's Ford ran out of gas and Clement failed to climb the stop light. The one bright spot was the daring holdup of the street cars. A super-peppy yell practice at the Y ended exertion for the day, except for the informal march down to high school. Saturday night found Hoopeston, poor thing, going up in flames. The dastardly deed was performed at the corner of Merchant and Dearborn, and was celebrated by wildly rejoicing studies, Seventy-five GE ER L ASSEMBLIES '95 The assemblies this year were rather erratic, but very interesting. After we had fainted from surprise at being given two assemblies on Monday undone Tuesday morning, the faculty allowed our total recovery by omitting the enter- tainment for three weeks. There is a general schedule of assemblies that may be observed every year. The first five are devoted to welcoming and encourag- ing Freshmen. Since we aren't given a holiday, the authorities are afraid we will forget Armistice Day or Lincoln's Birthdayg so we are assembled and informed on these subjects. Occasionally the student body notifies the team that they are to win a football or basketball game. There is the annual New Year's day assem- bly and the one announcing that all students are to be present at exams except in cases of extreme illness or death in the family. The spring assemblies begin to pep up a little in a persistent hope that we'll win the tournamentg and the last assemblies of the year are always perfect, since they are dominated by Seniors, The assemblies this year were under the charge of Miss Jeffers, Miss Erskine and Mr. Jenkins. They used the happy plan of making each organization res- ponsible for a program. There was only one thing lackingg we vote to have each of the dignified faculty throw some sort of stunt-we entertain them enough to have earned it! Besides these special programs, several very good speakers entertained us and were very much enjoyed. The most outstanding talks of the year were: One by Mr. Geiger, the Scout Executive, who talked on Camp Craft and Camp Sportsmanship, and described the 67 varieties of canipersg by Mr. Verner, whose topic was Fire Prevention: a Thanksgiving talk by Rev. Rains: an inspirational and poetical talk by Dr. Straing several little pointers from Mr. Allisong an address on Wasl1i1igton and Lincoln by Mr. Johnston, the assistant State's Attorney. At one assembly Richard Lind read his prize winning essay on The Many- sided Franklinf' and February 12, Harold Madison read his on Lincoln. Gabriel Rose entertained ns with his oration, which took first place in this district. It was on one phase of the Constitution. The Senior Assembly was excellent, of course. Elwood Funk and Norman Rifkind played piano solos, Katharyn Keys gave a. reading, John Baird and Earl Donar put on a colored act, and the Senior Sextette: Gladys Owen, Mildred Howard and Eleanor Holder, Alvin Sauer, Ever- ette Seedorf and Harold Hoermann, gave two numbers. The Press Club gave a very clever assembly program to open the year's campaign for the school paper. The different members of the staff represented their departments with short talks which were illustrated on the platform. Mr. McIntosh's opening speech was interrupted by Gladys Owen. who has the feature articles. Mr. Sawyer offered an extra from the platform. Bob Anderson represented the inquiring reporter, and his talk was illustrated by Stan Freborg, who asked Georgia Nance the -serious question, Why do girls like you have dates, and when? Seventy-six I Everett Seedort spoke of advertising and Tom Cooley of athletics. Carl Ziegle presented jokes represented by John Baird, Maclelyn Down's personals were illus- trated by I-lelen Dickerson, Maurine Hertz and Kathryn Beardsley. Howard Wertz talked on clubs and representatives of high school organizations passed in review. Talks by the Editor, Richard Lind, and the Business Manager, Gabriel Rose, closed the program. Q The Music Club provided a very interesting program, including two sax dances by Volma Turner and Virginia Barclayg a violin solo by Emily Shparagog a piano solo by Forrest Rose Keiser, and three striking and appropriate parodies invented by some of the witty members and presented by the Music Club chorus. The Dramatic Club gave the Christmas entertainment in the assembly this year-- Christmas Everywhere. The characters were Eleanor Holden. Bettv Wheeler, Isabel Andereck, Irene Clopper, Eleanor Snow, Carolyn Swannell, Helen Lambert, Melba Adelman, Alice Nance, Everette Seedorf, Harry Cook, AFIDUF Phelps, Clyde Costello, Donovan McClain, Donald Hartquest and Harold Madison. We do not allow the Freshmen to give plays to raise money, and they must be careful not to be too ambitious in anything. But they may amuse us in as- sembly. Their best outbreak was The Maid Who Would11't be Proper. It was a comedy in three acts-the word comedy includes the intermission-and starred the following innocents: Suzanne, the maid who wouldn't be proper Frances Tyrrell Prudence, her proper sister - - Edna Adams Her Motherly Mother - Gladys Stafford Her 11-ate Father - Donald Hartquest The Proper Young Man - Jack Wolfe The Gypsy Boy ---- - - Alex Flax February 2, the Girls' Hi-Y Club furnished the program for a very interesting fand sufficiently longl assembly. A mixed quartette, consisting of Mildred Howard, Maurine Hertz, Arthur Phelps and John Campbell, gave several popular numbers, followed by a reading by Mable Martin. The one act farce, Six Cups of Chocolate, was then given by the following cast: Adeline Lindon - Marjorie McClung Beatrice Van Courtlandt Ruth Robertson Dorothy Green - Elizabeth Collier Marion Lee Maurine Hertz Jeanette Durand Eleanor Holder Hester Beacon ------ Ruth Schniederjon A very extraordinary and interesting entertainment was put on at an irregular assembly Friday, February 2, sixth period. A new broadcasting station had been established above the window outside Miss Reeves' office. The instrumental and vocal chorus was picked up by stations as distant as Room 43, although there was a little static. The announcer was quite persistent in his efforts to attract the attention and interest of the students. It was probably the most appropriate program of the year, as that assembly is usually asleep. Although Mr. Bean appreciated the genius represented in the affair, he reluctantly tuned out after half an l1ou1'. The Senior play is a traditionp the Junior play is an institution: and the Sophomore play was an ambition. They gave three scenes from an original dramatization of Silas Marnerf' The characters were: Edgar Holz, Isabel An- dereck, Alice Nance, Roy Morine, Cynthia Dyer, Vivian Doran, Warren Shult, Charles Stran, Ethel Echt, Vlfilfred Conn, Caroline Swannell, Eleanor Snow, Dorothea Michael, Russell Robbins, Ted Wiechers. It was coached by Miss McLaughlin and Miss Willman. Seventy-seven The Glee Club had been working a long time on a delightful little comic opera, The Family Doctor, which they finally presented to the expectant stud- ents, April 7. As a prelude, the Glee Club tout of sightl sang, By the Waters of the Minnetonka, while Florence Birr illustrated it by a tableau. Betty Wheeler en- tertained with popular selections between acts. The characters of The Family Doctor were as follows: Tom Willis Calias Dr. Drakel ---- John Stafford Silas Gilbert - - Clyde Costello Mrs. Gilbert - - Mildred Howard Edith Gilbert Irene Clopper -May Livingstone Helen Johnson Sam Sterling ------ The most sensational special number was a duet sung by Arthur Phelps Tom and Edith, during which a good share of the interest was directed toward a certain blush- ing boy in the audience. The program was closed by members of the Girls' Glee Club, assisted by various Teddy Bears and French dolls, who gave two numbers: The Doll and I can't do this sum. Dancing The Commercial Club spent several weeks preparing the play they presented before the assembly, April 22. It was entitled, Not to the Swift, and was a three act business drama with a moral. Edgar Bray, as his own natural self furnished the humor. The other characters, Mary Blake, Opel Vincent: Miss Foster, Ruth Baker, The Boss, Ralph Hootong Robert Devine and Ralph Butz, assistants and Wilbur Seibert, mechanic, all did some fine acting. Miss McLaugh- lin and Mr. Jenkins coached. Coach Bean had charge of the football assembly. A reading by Katharyn Keys, one by Mable Martin, a Football Burlesque by Prof Anderson, Mr. Bean's Football by Betty Wheeler and a talk about Red Grange by Whitney Ferris, were the features of the occasion. The big event, of course, was the presentation of the letters to the members of the 1925 football team. bklllflffiik The school board has at last decided that little Whittier school needs an annex for the more disturbing children. After a great deal of talk, they have begun work on this building. It is called the New High School. The laying of the cornerstone was set for Friday, November thirteenth. The student body had to celebrate as best they could in sixth and seventh period assemblies, while Mr. Johnson and Mr. Allison went out and ploughed around in the mud. Seventy-eight FOOTBALL FEEDS Due no doubt to the unusually successful season of the 1925 football team several of our most faithful fans deemed it their privilege and pleasure to measure the capacity of the warriors for demolishing the means of sustaining the inner man. There were two especially notable occasions. For the last four years, Mr. Bobbitt, chef at the Y Cafeteria, has offered the K. H. S. football team a real feed if they should win their first four games. True to his word, after the victory over Hoopeston, he set the date of the banquet as October 17, at 6:30. Needless to say, the team turned out in full force, disregarding any casualties from the day before. Dr. McClung and Mr. Creighton gave interesting talks, throwing several banquets and challenges. On November 14th, Mr. Cooley treated the football fellows to a banquet at the Country Club. The decorations were in maroon and blue and included a gridiron and its football. It was the occasion of the long-expected turkey dinner, and no turkey could be expected to escape a couple of full teams with empty stomachs and plenty of wind. Touchdowns were made by all of the speakers: Rev. McClung, Creighton, and Carr, and Messrs. Ware, Bean and Hammerlundg but Mr. Cooley kicked goal. The second annual football banquet, which was sponsored by the Boys' Hi-Y Club, was held Thursday, December 3, 1925. It was given in honor of the Kan- kakee football team, and was attended by a large crowd. The kick off was made by Dr. McClung, and was made very interesting by his many stories. The rest of the half was taken up with short talks by Captain Burrill, Mr. Ware, and Mr. Allison. During the intermission the team met, and selected their captain for next year. At the beginning of the second half, Coach Bean announced that Lawrence Cook was the Captain-Elect. The new captain made a few remarks, and these were followed by a. short talk by Dr. Creighton. The main speaker of the evening was T. J. Lieb from Notre Dame. Each speaker tried to outdo his predecessor in telling stories so the interest never lagged. Altogether, it was a very enjoyable banquet, and every one went away well satisfied. Yi? Vi sf Seventy-nine JUNIOR PLAY On December 10, the Juniors packed the Luna tand a little bit morel with an audience primed for a good time, watching Mr, Smith Step Out. A general distraction seized the High School a week before handg Babe could be heard anywhere practising Swedish dialect, Miss Wiehl could be seen wildly tearing her hair because of the inipossibilities of everything in general. The Juniors scrambled to sell tickets and advertising space for the benefit of their beloved friends, the Seniorsg and the rest of us scrambled for reserved seats. The teachers, of course, had special privileges. It behooves me to report the noble act of chivalry of one of our faculty who bravely gave up his privileges and at four o'clock on Wednes- day, serenely made his way toward the Luna theatre to secure his seats. The characters were: Uncle Bill, who never forgot anything - - - Tom Cooley lVliss NVinthrop, a poor, timid, frail, little creature: an unclaimed blessing, who came over just as she was - - - Mae Teifke Mr. Keene, a criminal diagnostician Frederic Robbins Mrs. Geo. Smith - - Martha Smith George Smitl1 Stanley Freborg Muriel Armitage Eleanor Longtin Bob Stanley - - - John Stafford Hilda, the Swedish maid Helen CBabeJ Johnson A Hat. Two Watches. The plot concerned our rich Australian Uncle ,who was just a little bit absent-minded. On stepping out one evening, while visiting with his nephew, he met a young man and loaned him a match. A minute later, Uncle Bill missed his watch. Being fearless and well-armed, he accosted the youth and demanded and received a watch. Complications ensued. Mr. Keene was expert at getting just to the edge of the solution, and then falling off. There was, of course, a Swedish maidg and, naturally, a love story. The plot was clever, the play well acted and well directed. Miss Wiehl, to- gether with Miss Lecour and Miss Steward, had charge of it. Beautiful offerings, floral and vegetable, were heaped upon the stars. ghty V SENIOR PLAY Incidentally, about the 20th of May, the Senior favored the public with an exhibition of their talent in Mother Carey's Chickens. The chickens are quite lively, and even do a little flying, but the play centers about Mother Carey. The cast was picked after entertaining fand hecticj try-outs: Mother Carey ------ Henrietta Kammann Mother Carey's Chickens: Nancy - - Charlotte DeSelm Kathleen Marian Kranz Patsy Ruth NVilliams Gilbert - - - - John Smith Julia. - - - - Eleanor Holder Cousin Anne Cnot exactly a chickenb Katharyn Beardsley The other birds: Tom Hamilton Richard Lind Ralph Thurston Everett Seedorf Cyril Lord - Joe Campbell The rest of Beulah: Osh Popham Harold Madison Mariar Helen Huffman Lallie Joy Gladys Owen Dr. Lord Percy Morrison Sam Barry Elwood Funk The plot concerns Mother Carey, the Yellow House, an old brick oven, a ralnbler rose, and all the neighbors and relatives with their tangles for Mother Carey to straighten. It concerns Julia, who is sadly conscious of the fact that Beulah isn't New York: Tom Hamilton, the Yellow Peril from Chinag Ralph Thurston, who is more than a country school teacherf' and Osh Popham, the clearest man in the world. Lallie Joy and Maria and Cousin Anne are joys to see and hear. And it concerns Nancy. ' The play was ably coached by Miss Pauline Tull.

With eleven letter men back and a wealth of promising material practice got under way in fine shape, and at the end of three weeks Kankakee was able to put a well-balanced team on the field for the first game. Kankakee 18-Dwight 0 The first game was marked by a casualty when Martin broke his leg during one of the scrimmages. The team gained yards at will, but drew so many yards in penalties that they were able to score only 18 points. Dwight made all their gains on short passes and penalties. This game was played on a muddy field and throwing passes was hazardous so Kankakee played only straight football. Kankakee 1 2-Milford 7 With a week's practice in which to iron out the defects apparent in the Dwight game Kankakee next journeyed to Milford where they ran into some stiff opposition. T'he teams were pretty evenly matched and at the half Milford led seven to six. After listening to a short talk by Coach Bean, Kankakee came back and played Milford off their feet to score another touchdown. A long pass, Kuntz to Cooley, did the trick. We held the lead throughout the third and fourth quarters and never once did Milford threaten our goal. Kankakee 7-XVatseka 2 Our friends from the neighboring county of Iroquois, NVatseka, came over with fire in their eye and the determination to win, but the best they could do was to score a safety when Bill Burrell, our lanky center, made his first bad pass in three years. During the first half, the teams were pretty evenly matched, but after a short rest Kankakee came back and walked through Watsekafs line at will. Kankakee 6-Streator 0 It was a mighty -good thing for Kankakee that this game was played on a muddy field because Streator came over with a light, fast back field. They could not, however, get started in the mud. Burrell was directly responsible for our touchdown, blocking two of Streator's punts on their goal line. Kankakee got the ball on Streator's five yard line and dashed across for a touchdown. Kankakee 26-Pontiac 6 - We had expected a hard game, but the Pontiac men were rather light and with Cook hitting the line for 20 yards every time we won. Kuntz who had been kept out of the Streator game because of injuries was inserted in this game. Dur- ing the second quarter he played long enough to score one touchdown. In the last quarter Hamilton, our diminutive sub quarterback, intercepted a pass and reeled off a forty yard gain before being tackled. Cooley played quarterback in place of Simmons and did fine work. Eighty-five 11 Kankakee 0-Bloom 7 Kankakee could not get started during this game and only once did they show any real signs of football. Merten was hurt early in the game and this weakened our line greatly. BIoom's touchdown looked rather questionable. We had hoped to beat Bloom this year as they had beaten us for the last three years, but the breaks were against us and we met our first defeat of the season. Kankakee 12-Paxton 0 Here again we ran into a team which was nearly our match. Several times we had the ball within scoring distance of Paxton's goal, but whenever we threat- ened to score a touchdown they held. Paxton's fullback was the hardest line plunger we had ever met. Kankakee scored one touchdown in the first half and one in the last half. Paxton only threatened our goal once. Kankakee 16-Hoopeston 0 In preparation for this game the students staged a monster parade Friday night. We had been trying to beat Hoopeston for three years and this year we won with a vengeance. With the .ball on Kankakee's 12 yard line Hoopeston in one plunge took it to the two yard line and in four downs failed to put it over. This was the only time they ever really threatened our goal. In the last five minutes of play Kuntzxintercepted a pass and ran sixty yards for another touch- down. He also contributed a field goal to our score and was the individual star of the game. Kankakee 0--LaSalle-Peru 53 After a 100-mile automobile trip Kankakee ran up against a team which out- weighed them 20 to 30 pounds per man. Their goal line had not been crossed that year and they simply walked all over us, scoring almost at will. They scored 25 points in the first quarter. Kankakee only threatened once and from then on were unable to get past the middle of the field. In the last quarter Coach Bean gave some of the subs a. chance. This game ended one of the most successful seasons Kankakee has had, mak- ing a total of seven wins and two defeats. Eighty-six if .- st .fi mf: a if fs as - 1 . - ' W e . 1 - 'fi --' - Y ' ,-. 'rf .A - J 1. -'ff I - lbzl -Q '- - ' -,f Captain William Burrell-Center . ' Bill Bill was the best center Kankakee ever had barring none. He has made just one bad pass in three years of continuous service. Bill is noted for his great defensive work and yards gained through him are as rare as snowballs in Africa. This was his last year, and he leaves a place which can not be easily filled. Thomas Cooley-Halfback - - Tom . Tom's specialty was off tackle smashes. He also worked a cut back to perfection. When he wasn't running the ends he was catching long passes from Kuntz. He was a. sure tackler and generally got his man. He will be back next year. Glenn Merten-Tackle ' 'Sam' ' The tallest man on the team, Sam was an ideal tackle. If an end run or off tackle smash came his way, he always got the man with the ball somehow or other. I-Ie, too, will be lost to the team when the call goes out for candidates next fall. ' Dee Simmons-Quarterback Red Hot Dee was the lightest man on the team, but he certainly used his 120 pounds to good advantage. When he got loose he made things hot for the opposing team's secondary defense. He was a good tackler and was a Wonder at picking the right play at the right time. He has two more years. 4 .ev ww as . .. il f - W Ah- ' , , , -V ww 1' ' Y 4 Eighty-seven , t., , . ,A V Q ..,N ' - 4 l 1 12 r . 5 ' I .'X ' li fi 4' ' ' W- - Ut, T1 Y, , Captain-Elect Lawrence Cook+Halfback Cookie This year Cookie's punting and line plunging stamped him as one of the best halfbacks the high school has ever produced. When a few extra yards were needed Cook made them. He hit the line like a steam roller, crushing everything before him. He was a stonewall on the defense. George Schlenz-Guard ' lol-looks!! Hooks played guard for two years' He could be depended upon to stop plays coming through the line and always opened up a. hole when on the offensive. This is his fourth year and the line will be weakened by his absence. Edgar Bray-End ' 'Cowboy' ' Bray is the only four letter man on the team and has held down the right end against all competition. He is a deadly tackler and always gets his man, added to that he can snag passes from almost any part of the field. William Devine-End Bill' ' Bill, the younger of the Devine brothers, acceded to Bob's urging, went out for football, and made good at it. He is fast on his feet, a good tackler, and can catch passes with the best of them. He has one more year to play. H - l f Eighty-eight Clifford Vining-Tackle Cliff' Here is one of the main reasons our opponents failed to gain through the left side of our line. When the man with the ball ran up against Cliffs 185 pounds he generally stopped. He also opened up holes in the opponents' line for our backs to tear through. He will not be with us next year. X Duane Kuntz-Fullback ' 'Deweyu V Dewey has been called other names of course, but that didn't stop him from heaving 40 or 50 yard passes to Cooley and Bray. His middle name is fight, and he showed this in the Watselca game. He hit the line hard and was a sure tackler. This is his last year. Edward Scott-Guard Red This young man's fighting thatch could be seen in almost every play. Red used his hands to good advantage and many an opponent was sore for several days after he and Red had met. He has played three years, and will be back for his fourth and final year. Robert Devine--Tackle Bob Bob has-been a regular for two years but graduates this year. When Bray was declared ineligible because of the age limit Bob was moved from tackle to end and proved to be a very good one. He is fast on his feet and his specialty is catching long passes.

He already had about thirty men out during the football season and the ranks were now swelled by twenty more from the football squad. The team then practiced diligently for about three weeks. Kankakee 20-Donovan 10 Our first game was played at the Y. M. C. A. Previous to the game Duane Kuntz was unanimously elected captain of the 1925-26 basketball team. The veterans did not go so well and Kramer and Reeves were inserted. Kramer pro- ceeded to get hot and sank four baskets in a row which put the game on ice. Kankakee 17-Roddick 7 Reddick was another team which fell by the wayside during the early part of the season. They had the advantage of a months more practice than we had, but once again our reserves came to the front and won the game. Kankakee 14-Roberts 5 This was an uninteresting game to watch, until the last quarter Roberts had only one point. Our team took revengeron them for beating us in the semi-finals of the district tournament last year. Kankakee 29-Ottawa 15 Faced with their first hard game the team arose nobly to the task and gave Ottawa something to think about. Then too, the team playing on a foreign floor began to show signs of rounding i11to shape. Bernie Deseln1's long shots pulled the game out of the fire in the early part of the game. In the last quarter Kan- kakee scored fourteen points. Kankakee 46-Pontiac 16 Just before the Christmas holidays the team journeyed to Pontiac. Practically every member on our team scored at least two points and the team showed their best form in several weeks. Capt. Kuntz was the individual star of this game, scoring nineteen points. Kankakee 18-Chzunpaigll 14 During the Christmas vacation the team practiced hard and faithfully in prep- aration for Champaign. Their game was a thriller from start to finish and at the end of the fourth quarter the score was tied at fourteen all. In the three minutes overtime period Capt. Kuntz sank the winning basket, a long shot from the middle of the floor. Then Tom Cooley made two free throws. This is the first time we have beaten Champaign in ten years. Kankakee 21-Lockport 6 The Maroon and Blue team found some tough opposition here for the first half. Then Kank began to hit the ring and ran up a total of 17 points in the last half. This was Lockport's first hard game and they could not seem to hit the hoop. The game was played on a very small floor and Kank did not get accustomed to it until the last half. h- Ninety-three l l 1 Kankakee 13-Canton 18 V V Our team was a trifle tired from their game the night before with Lockport so did not put up their best brand of basketball. Canton won the state champion- ship last year and the spectators were shown some wonderful basketball. Kanka- kee led at the half-ten to nine, but Canton opened up in the last half and won this game by the skin of their teeth. The Canton coach praised our team highly and asked for a return game for next year. Kankakee 18-Bloom 14 Bloom brought a large band of rooters with them and they made the Armory ring with their cheers, but all to no avail. Not once did Bloom overcome our lead. The teams were about evenly matched, but due to a last minute spurt Kankakee forged ahead and held the lead through the final period. The team played a. wonderful defensive game during this period. Kankakee 19-Ottawa 17 Ottawa had developed considerably since our game with them at Ottawa and certainly gave our team a hard fight. It was not until the final pistol shot that the Maroon and Blue athletes were sure of the outcome. Campbell, Ottawa's cap- tain and left forward, made baskets from all angles of the floor during the first half, but Capt. Kuntz put the clamps on him in the last half and he did no further scoring. Kankakee 14-Lockport 9 This was more of a rough and tumble match than a basketball game. The Lockport team drew a total of seventeen personal fouls and two of their men were put out of the game on personals. Kankakee played the poorest basketball of the whole season. Kankakee 20-Streator 24 We had this game Won up until the last four minutes of play and then Streat- or begun to get hot. The team played mighty good basketball and deserved to win but it seemed that fate was against them. They were fighting all the time and it was tough luck to loose this game with victory in their clasp. Kankakee 20-Bloom 19 Kankakee led at the half 15 to 2 and it looked like an easy victory for our team, but Bloom came back in the last half and wiped out our big lead. We were without the services of Cooley, our regular center, and this was a great handicap. Kankakee 22-XVatseka 17 Our friends from Watseka came up here hoping to avenge their defeat in foot- ball, but they c0uldn't get through our tight defense enough times to win. We led all through the game and walked off the floor with another victory under our belts. Kankakee 25-Streator 31 We had hoped to beat Streator on our own floor, but one of their forwards got hot and began sinking his shots from every part of the floor. Much as we hate to admit it, Streator was just too good for us. With twelve wins and three defeats to our credit, we have set a record which will stand some time. Interest in basketball has heightened to such an extent that it is now the most popular game in high school. With plenty of good material for next year we should have a very successful season. N xnety-four DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Once again Kankakee missed winning the District Tournament. After bowling over Roberts and Momence, we beat Chicago Heights in a thrilling battle 20-19. Saturday afternoon with only Cissna Park between us and the finals, we lost to them 22 to 13. It was a hard game to lose as we had counted on winning the tournament this year. The team then came back in the consolation game and defeated Stockland 61-17. The finals were played between Cissna Park and Thornton High of Harvey. Harvey won by the score of 16-8. Kankakee placed two men on the first All District Team. l 1-un-wr -1 Chicngn Hgts 29 liccldiclc El Mnmcnvc ll Knnknkca 271.

Sixteen of the best teams in the state, most of whom had been eliminated in the section tournaments were invited. Coach Hammerlund took ten men with him. We were beset with misfortune at the very start. Bill Devine sprained an ankle and Emmet Vandervort was taken sick. The team was rather off form and while they won their first game from Cornell 21-17, they lost their second to Hinckley 20-12. Hinckley had prev- iously won the district tournament at Aurora. After defeating us they went into the finals and were defeated by Peoria Manual. '95 INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET In an indoor track meet held at the Y. M. C. A. April 23, 1926, the Seniors walked away from the rest of the field with 425 points, the Juniors were second with 20175 points, the Sophomore were third with 10 points, and the lowly Frosh were last with 5 points. This just about gives the Seniors the supremacy of the school as they are champs in basket ball and baseball. The events are as follows: 15 Yard Dash-lst, Roseg Sr. 2nd, Arnoveg Sr. 3rd, Taylor, Jr. High Jump-lst, Cooley, Jr., 5 ft. 7 in.: 2nd, Hertz, Soph., 5 ft. 6 in.g Huling, Sr., and Devine, Jr., tied for 3rd at 5 ft. 5 in.

'- Ninety-eigllt TRACK Track, which has been in discard for several years, is coming back. Interest in track had fallen off and inter-class baseball took its place. Last year several fellows trained faithfully and although they only entered one meet, which was held at Donovan, they came home with fifteen points. These points were all captured by Gabriel Rose who took first place in the one hundred, two-twenty, and four-forty dashes. He was the only one of the squad of five men who scored any points for Kankakee. We have been unable to stage any track meets of our own because of having no place where we could put on a meet. This year the Board of Education has appropriated a sum of money with which to build a track on the new high school grounds, where our athletes are now training. Coach Bean has a squad of fifteen men out now and things are looking exceedingly bright for a good team. We have already entered in the District meet to be held at Watseka May Sth, and while we do not expect to take the meet yet we expect to be somewhere up among the first four or five. We could not hope to win this meet as schools from six counties are entered and most of these schools have had track teams for years while our tealn is a comparatively new one. Anyone who takes a first or a second at the Watseka meet is eligible to go to the state meet to be held at Urbana at the University of Illinois track. Several years ago Joe Taylor one of our fastest dash men took a second place in the fifty yard dash, but that is the only time we have ever won anything of mention in the state meet. This year, if any of our men can weather the district meet, they stand a mighty good chance of placing in the state meet. Tom Cooley using the Osborne roll-over style has been doing five feet nine inches consistently and if he can add an inch more to this height he can easily win the District jump and stands a good chance of placing. Rose, our dash man, has been going better and better at every practice and should gather in several points in his events. Kuntz, who is the weight lleaver of the team, has thrown the discuss one hundred and five feet in several attempts and may even better this when competition gets hot. Kan- kakee's real weakness lies in the other field events, hurdles and distance runs. Not enough fellows have come out for these places and what few have come out have much to learn, although they have tried hard. If the enthusiasm which has just been reawakened can be kept up Kankakee will have a consistently winning track team in a very short time. No spring high school sport has yet been devised which can place track in the back ground, and with a winning track team it will place Kankakee in par with any high school in Illinois.

PRIZE WINNERS The following papers were written during the past school year by members of the Senior class of 1926. The fi1'st, Abraham Lincoln by Harold Madison, won the Lincoln medal presented by the Elgin 'Watch Company. The second essay, The Many Sided Franklin was written by Richard Lind. The occasion was National Thrift Week. The third paper, The Constitution, is the work of Gabriel Rose, and took first place in the district contest. The Chicago Daily News sponsored this movement. vlrirkllll ABRAHAM LINCOLN In every instance in the history of the world when a great catastrophe threatened, from somewhere a leader was produced who was capable of guiding the people safely past the crisis. In the year sixteen-' lfiundred nineteen the first slaves were brought to the continent of North Ainerlicae' and were landed in the colony of Virginia. Nearly two hundred fifty years later the life of The United States as a nation was almost ended because of the question of -slavery. From the formation of its constitution in seventeen hundred eighty-seven and eighty-eight the question of slavery acted as a wedge drived gradually deeper simply by the con- tinued existence of slavery, and it was about to split The United States into two separate and distinct foreign nations and to stain with sin the souls of millions of civilized people, when the only man capable of saving ,our nation was given the power to guide the Ship of State through the foaming, wind-tossed waters of a civil war. By his great character and his great character alone this man of courage, self-sacrifice, and determination was able to hold The United States of America together that this generation and coming generations might live under its freedom of governmentland a clearer conscience. I Abraham Lincoln was trained from earliest childhood, for this great task. VVe know that in the few short years that his mother lived,,yvith him she taught him the words of the Bible and impressed upon him its message of faith, courage, and self-sacrifice. As he grew older, partly through his own efforts, but largely through his desire to serve his fellow men, he continued to prepare himself for his great task, and his character grew. In his everyday life he was continually meeting hardships and disappoint- ments which served only to strengthen his firm character. However, Lincoln had days of sunshine, also, but he enjoyed more of these by turning many sorrows into nothings which we would have allowed to darken our days. He never forget his friends and neighbors, and many times he assumed their troubles as his own, offer- ing words of cheer to his elders, or words of advice to the younger folks. Many times he would send his messages deeper into the minds of hearts of those he helped by enclosing his sympathy or advice ina little story or fable. Then, as the time came for him to be of public service as a lawyer, soldier. and, later, as a legislator, hc continued to mold his character according to the spirit of unselfishness, self-sacrifice, and a conscientious determination to do the right as he saw fit to do the right. One Hundred One Thus, was Abraham Lincoln prepared for his great task, and it proved to be a very difficult task, indeed, needing just such a preparation as he received. Try to comprehend, if you can, the courage it was necessary to have to face Douglas, The Little Giant, in debate, and to deliberately bring up a question in these debates which was advised against by all of Lincoln's best friends. Then, try to comprehend the courage it was necessary to have later in eighteen hundred sixty- one when Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office of the President of the United States to preserve the Union when, already, seven states had declared themselves dissolved from that Union. Yet, what courage is this in comparison with the courage necessary to carry on the terrible struggle in which father fought against son, and brother fought against brother? For over two long years defeat after defeat was handed to the North, but Lincoln with the determination that only Lincoln possessed, continued the War with a blind faith in God that he was in the right. Then, as the tide of battle turned, and the North began to win victory slowly, another great characteristic of Lincoln stood out. While the people of the North rejoiced over victory after victory, the big heart of Lincoln went o11t in sympathy to the many homes in the South and North which had sacrificed their loved ones, and their sorrows became concentrated upon him, like a crown of thorns. Finally, the end of the War drew near, and Lincoln prepared plans for recon- struction and also for extention of aid to the South. The time was drawing 1-ear when the people of the nation could lay down their arms and bow their heads in prayers of gratitude. The time was approaching when Lincoln would be able to throw off the burdens of war and sorrow and rejoice in a peace that would bring to no other heart more than to his a feeling of gratitude, of joy, and of rest. But Abraham Lincoln was not to rest in this world. In hardly more than a day the nation was plunged from exceeding gladness over the end of a terrible civil war to the depths of sorrow and despair of losing the great leader who stood al- most alone as the guiding hand which held the nation together. Abraham Lincoln had been slain. Abraham Lincoln had died, but he left behind him a character that stands with the greatest in historyg he left behind him a united nation with a govern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the peopleg he left behind him a nation of people whose souls had been darkened for many years by the sins of slavery, but whose souls were now purged from that sin, and he left behind him a char- acter so outstanding that it serves as a great model to be patterned after now, and a model to be patterned after many years hence. Yes, Abraham Lincoln had died, but the spirit of Abraham Lincoln still lives, and it will continue to live far into the future as long as history is recorded. HAROLD MADISON. One Hundred Two THE MANY-SIDED FRANKLIN Benjamin Franklin, born of a large family and surrounded by meager cir- cumstances, but trained with plain living and genuity, industry, and frugality to hold a place He gained fame at home and abroad because factors of mankind. Now, Franklin was not an unusual boy, saint, but just a common boy with his desires, was aptly expressed by Bacheller Irving in an high ideals, rose through his in- with the greatest men of all time. he was one of the greatest bene- he was neither a prodigal nor a ambitions and conceits. This fact article about Franklin, As a man Franklin was like no other, but the boy Franklin was like most boys--conceited and intolerant. Through the influence of his parents and Uncle Benjamin, he began to take an interest in books, but because they were so inaccessible his reading was con- fined to The Spectator and Pilgrim's Progress and a few others that he read several times. However, like most boys his little learning immediately became .pride and then grew to conceit. He liked to argue and refute statements that others made, but this made many of his friends turn away and finally when he ran away from home he only had one friend, John Collins. However, he was a diligent and ambitious boy and upon reaching Philadelphia he found work in a local printing office. But he was lonely in this new city and tried to become acquainted with some of the Quakers. He was surprised and even irritated to think that he could not make any lasting friendships, until one day a kind, old Quaker remarked, Benjamin, your opinions have a slap in them for everyone. He also told the young apprentice that he must take a different atti- t.ude toward knowledge or he had reached the height of his learning. When Franklin said that he really wanted to learn, the old Quaker gave him some more advice and then left. He said, Well, the first thing for you to learn is this- that you have been and still are a fool. These words took a strong hold on Benjamin's mind and that night he re- solved that he must study himself for a. while instead of his books. Recalling as many teachings of his parents as possible that he took so lightly at the time they were spoken, he contrived a list of virtues and a system of keeping an account of his moral and mental development. Upon reviewing his character, he found that he had always taken good care of his health and developed a good physique. Also, he had adopted the teachings of thrift-saving money-and diligence that he learned from his father. But he now undertook a great task of overcoming all the great faults most of which he had developed since he had run away from home. He had found the secret of success and realizing its great significance, he lost no time to instil its principles in his life and character. When he arrived in England to buy a press according to the agreement made by Gov. Keith and found that he had relied on groundless promises, he soon obtained work and applied himself so well to the life and conditions of England that he had soon saved enough money to return home. Upon reaching Philadelphia again he directed all his energies to make the best of his opportunities in order that he might secure a' comfortable income and devote himself to philosophical studies and amusements. He acquired a press and strove with undaunted zeal to outstrip the two other printers of the town who were barely gaining an existance from their trades. Working with the utmost diligence, economy and thrift from daybreak to sunset and often far into the night, he drew the attention of the public, took over the newspaper of his rival Keimer, which he renamed the Philadelphia Gazette. and soon the other printer failed. which gave him all the printing business of Philadelphia. However, he continued to be rigidly frugal and industrious until he had secured a comfortable income, and, even then these qualities were only slightly modified. One Hundred Three Then, employing his ingenuity with unexampled success, he instituted a peri- odical entitled, Poor Richard's Almanac, in which he gave his practical philosophy of life with thrift, economy, and morality emphasized. In a very tactful and simple style he made the sayings of Poor Richard popular at home and abroad. Sow little, reap little, and The way to wealth is as plain as the way to marketg if chiefly depends on two words-industry and frugality, and Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep tl1ee are common saying. Through this almanac Franklin was attempting to instil in the people those fundamental principles of success that he had discovered and applied to his own life. Having paid for his press and settled all other debts, bought a house and established financial independence, he was determined to work those principles of success into the hearts of all mankind and into the government of a nation. As clerk, member, and later, speaker of the Pennsylvania assembly he was very influential. As postmaster general, he improved the whole system. Then, he entered upon a diplomatic career, being first sent to represent the Pennsylvania Assembly and then as a representative of all the states. In England he managed the delicate relations between the colonies and the mother country so tactfully that he won the admiration of both Tories and Whigs. But it was in France after the outbreak of the American Revolution that he was most influential in securing the aid of France. It was here that he found it most difficult to retain the economy of dress and habits. Returning home old and highly honored, he lived not in luxuries that he could well afford, but he desired instead to dwell in comfort and retirement. During his entire life he was always eager to contribute either time or money or both to a worthy cause. Even in his most active years of fortune- making he found time to organize a debating club, subscription library, a night watch, a volunteer fire company, a colonial militia, a street-cleaning department, and a school for the youth of Pennsylvania which afterwards became the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. Also in his leisure time he conducted a few experiments and studied science not with a view of gaining fame, but merely to improve conditions for the world and for himself. The American Philosophical Society that Franklin founded sur- vives as a lasting memorial of l1is scientific activity. Now, some men have been more successful as philanthropists, some have achieved greater fame as scientists, but none have attained greatness in so many ways or made such an impression on all mankind as has Franklin. He is pre- eminently distinguished for his views on politics, religion, ethics, science, agri- culture, hygiene, mechanics, music, navigation and education. From the time he resolved to direct all his energies toward physical, mental, and moral betterment as well as material upbuilding, he was certain of great success in anything he undertook. No man has ever applied those principles of success to a greater advantage than Franklin, or achieved as much success in instilling those principles in the hearts of all humans. He remains one of the wor1d's greatest benetactors. RICHARD LIND. One Hundred Four THE CONSTITUTION America has experienced many crises, crises such as the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, various panics and other sickening conditions. But there was one crisis upon which the life of the nation depended: a crisis greater than that of the Civil Warp a crisis which was determined by the outcome of a convention, that crisis, was the critical period of 1783 to 1789. While the Revolu- tionary War lasted the states fought like brothers, side by side: now that the danger was over they threatened to fall apart. We were like a barrel made of thirteen staves, but without a single strong hoop to hold us together. We had the Articles of Confederation, but is there a high school boy or girl today that cannot name the distinctive features which proved to be the greatest defects of the articles? Did the articles give the central government power to act directly on individuals? The articles bestowed upon Congress no direct power to raise revenue other than to borrow money. The states retained their power and they frequently refused to collect tl1e amount of taxes demanded of them by Congress. Did the articles give means for enforcing obedience to the acts of Congress? They provided for neither an executive, nor for permanent, courts. A single state could disregard any law, or treaty. This fact was soon recognized by Washington, who said, We are one nation today and thirteen tomorrow. Who will treat with us on such terms? The central government did not have power to regulate commerce with foreign nations or even between the several states. How could they amend these articles? Only, by getting the unanimous consent of the thirteen states. Finally after some disputes as to tolls, Maryland invited all the states to send delegates to Annapolis. However, only five states sent delegates, and there- after concluding that it was necessary to amend the articles before any real com- mercial progress could be made-adjourned to meet at Philadelphia in 1787. Liberty had been won, equality there always had been, but following the Revolutionary war, fraternity was slowly ebbing away. The convention, which finally convened May 14, 1787, included men of widely different abilities, temperments, and experiences. There were the political gen- uises such as Washington, Hamilton, and Madison: judicially minded spirits in Franklin, Dickinson, Wilson, Morris and Sherman: some thoroughly well mean- ing men of moderate attainments, such as Paterson, and Rutledge, and a few long winded obstrustionists, like Martin, who did little, but clog the wheels: and three scores of others who rarely had much to say, but who listened attentively and voted right when important issues arose. These men labored for a period of about four months, in which time the greatest document, in the history of the world, was formed, and as Gladstone the great English statesman expressed it, The American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain, and purpose of man. One Hundred Five One must remember that the constitution like other documents, of worldly importance, reflects not only the organized thought of that generation in which it is written, but goes back for its origin as far in human history, as men first dreamed of organized government. The framers of our constitution not only profited by the mistakes of. several European nations in the successful or un- successful attempts at organized government, but contributed to this experiment in the United States, an idea which cannot be overestimated in its importance both in its influence in the Western hemisphere, and in the old World as well. It is true that the colonists brought with them social, economic, and politi- cal institutions of England. When society among the colonists became better organized, we find almost a complete duplicate of the English system of govern- ment. That was reasonable and natural. However, America was a new continent and the demands of the pioneers were different from what they would have been in a settled country. A virgin country demands freedom of action, it prizes initia- tive in all conduct, whether it be in clearing lands or organizing a new form of government. This factor was important, and its influence was great in the very beginning. H , , Europeans thought during the middle of the eighteenth century was develop- ing on the lines indicated by Rousseau, Montesqueau and Lock. The freedom of the individual in government was a theory well developed. No people, however, had then the potentiality or the ability to put this new idea of government into practice. It was for the United States with its vigor, youth, and enthusiasm to develop a system of government which gave the individual the maximum of freedom. However, had they stopped there, a11d had they not provided for its amending, I doubt whether it would have survived. The amending clause in the constitution is like the safety valve on the locomotive. Nineteen amendments have been added to our constitution, this alone shows that it is a living organism adapt- able to social economics, and political changes. The test of any human institution which has lived through hundreds of years, is its adaptibility to new situations and growing changes. The constitution of the United States has endured wars, panics, and other various crises, because of its flexibility. It is flexible chiefly because the Supreme Court of the United States has given the constitution a liberal construction. The constitution, that great foundation which has withstood many storms and crises, and upon which this great nation of ours has been built, was, therefore, framed to give us a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. God grant that this great foundation may survive in all the years to come through our safekeeping. May we of the present generation, to whom the sacred trust of this con- stitution is soon to be given, realize its greatness, and take as the guiding prin- ciples of our lines, the sentiment which President Cleveland expressed in the conclusion of his speech at the centennial anniversary of the constitution. When we look down one hundred years and see the origin of our con- stitution, when we contemplate all its trials and triumphs, when we realize how Ona Hundred Sik completely the principles upon which it is based have met every national need and every national peril, how devoutly should we say with Franklin, God governs in the affairs of men and how solemn should be the thought that to us is delivered this ark of the peoples' covenant and to us is given the duty to shield it from impious hands. It comes to us sealed with the test of a century. It has been found sufficient in the past, and it will be found sufficient in the future years to come, if American people are true to their sacred trust. Another Centennial day will come, and millions yet unknown will inquire concerning our stewardship and the safety of the constitution. God grant that they may find it unimpairedg and as we rejoice today in the patriotism and devotion of those who lived one hundred years ago, so may those who follow us rejoice in our fidelity and love for Constitutional liberty.

This is the flnal and last will and testament of the Class of 1926, drawn up and put under seal this 25th day of May, the year of our Lord, nineteen hun- dred and twenty-six. CSEALJ CLASS OF 1926. One Hundred Nine CLASS PROPI-IECY I put down my book and lay back in the cool grass. I'd been reading Tennyson's Singing Leaves and had just thought, It wouldn't be halt had if real trees could sing, or even talk. I might find out some things about the fu- ture of this class of 26, and I closed my eyes. The old oak leaned over toward the birch across the patch and asked, Heard the Latest? Beatrice Kelly is making quite a success in her line, or rather, on her line. She's a tight rope walker. Earl Fromm announces his marriage to the world's smallest Woman. She is thirty-two inches high and weighs forty-eight pounds. You'd never recognize Virginia Ritter now.

Carlotte DeSelm is in her movie studio in Jersey, making a. picture of her latest novel, He Sins Best Who Sins Last. Hazel Holmes, you know, is the sinner. Glenn Merten is in the movies now too: he is a great villan, and in these 4 days when all pictures are made in color he surely fits. You can see the iire shooting from his eyes above his thick blue beard. Isn't it too bad about Ruth Morel? She went absolutely nutty trying to End a snappier comeback than So's you ole man.

Today some one saw her and they say she had another on top to keep it on. Just about this time the oak noticed the birch turning aside, and thought that maybe he had better quit talking.

ILLINOIS, FEB. 31. 1926 X Final lssuc NO. 3 ,T WWII In Y- II I FOOTBALL GAME Bite! Scratch! Bite! Team! Team! Team! That was the yell we heard last Saturday, November 33. The Sen- iors and Sophomore played the Fresh- men and the Juniors. The chief star of the game was the great hefty fu back, Wanda Osienglewski. A close second for the fastest runner was Buffy Burrell. In the first quarter the Senior team made five touch- downs. ' Of these Isabel Anderick made six. The only damage done was a broken goal post. In the second quarter, Dorothy Du- charm knocked out Virginia Foley with one of her famous stiff arms. Then little Virginia took out her spite on Alice Nance by rolling the ball out of the way for a place kick, The only reason the Seniors were ahead at the half was because no one could stop the hefty Ruth Williams, At the half, a great thunder storm came up and each player floated home on a football. Between halves, Helen Wasser, one of the scrub team went around pow- dering the player's faces and bandag- lng scratches caused by fingernails. The last half was a survival of the fittest. Each strived to get the most glory for herself, Our star poker player, Katharyn Keys Cwho plays po- sition of half-back on the teaml sur- prised us all by making a touchdown, knocking out Martha Wheeler, and Lorraine Bott on the way. and drag- ging little Irene Johnson all the way. Helen Dickerson was taken out on ac- count of a black eye given to her by Marian Kranz, because Helen had giv- en the ball to Annie Echt, instead of Marian. All in all it was a great game. The game ended with the score 30-30. Bite! Scratch! Bite! Team! Team! Team! Tl-IE PROF'S PRATTLE But he who puts off studying until tomorrow night is going to have a whale of a good time tonight. Parting is pretty painful-at least One Hundred Twenty when you come down too hard on the comb. The world may be a stage, but the majority of the students don't know how to act. Every dog has his day-but there seems to be too many dogs for the days. The need of the hour--sixty min- utes. It isn't what you get in this world that counts, its what you get by with. The reason they call them cub re- porters is that they go after hear facts. Rumors rush in where knowledge fears to tread. The only thing that comes to him that waits is whiskers. What some people know about driv- ing an automobile would fill a book. and what they don't know about it helps to fill the morgue. i-..Q STUDE-ANTS Every time we come out of a class room it means another emerging from an intellectual hibernation. After some recitations we wonder why it is necessary to send to Africa for ivory. Some people may act distant, but when they do they are certainly way off.
