In classes, clubs and assem- blies We have, too, shared with each other the disappointment of our reverses in the war and together we have thrilled at the heroism of General MacArthur. ln the years to come may, then, this book bring you happy memories of your associations here at Kelvyn and recall more vividly for you the stirring events of this year. Rose A. Pesta N THESE DAYS, it is not enough just to be proud that We are Americans. We must also be willing and anxious to work and to sacrifice in order that the principles and ideals in which we take pride remain intact. We must now, more than ever before, understand the meaning of cooperation and team spirit. These should be direct outcomes of your high school experience-both in and out of the classroom. Now you are to face the greatest test of all. On the results of this test the future of America depends. Edwin A. Lederer THE ELHSS 0F IUIIE '42 CLASS OFFICERS ' FRANK E.

FACULTY SPONSORS Gertrude Ahern Siarid Nelson Ida Giachini Margaret Nordman Gertrude Hayes jeanne Ramsey Clara Hendrickson Edith Wright f17l ., THE SPIRIT 0F lllllflllll TUIJHU The figure of Abraham Lincoln, as he stalks majestically through the pages of American history, is a living symbol of the American way of life. Tall and lanky, with features rugged and far from handsome, his clothes hanging unshapely on his meager frame, he certainly was not meant to be the idol of the masses, but people looked up to him with reverence, respect and love. This man awed millions by his eloquence and gained their sincere devotion by his humbleness and down-to-earth philosophies. He was truly a man of the people and has so remained enshrined in our hearts. Though the passing centuries may dim memories of other men, his is one that will live on and continue to inspire future generations. The story of Lincoln's rise from a country lawyer to sixteenth President of the United States is a beautiful legend that illustrates the very essence of America. His brilliant oratory fell like music on the ears of his audience. Whether he spoke across the counter of a country store or from the President's rostrum, his words touched the hearts of his listeners. His years among the common folk on the prairies of lllinois made him realize the genuine worth of freedom. Even at the height of his career the glories of fame and renown never o'ershadowed his country simplicity. As captain of the ship of state he grasped the wheel with a sure, steady hand and steered it safely through the raging storm. When the trials of his office demanded every ounce of his strength, his kind face took on a somber, prophet-like appearance, one that made him resemble a sage out of the Old Testament. The deep wrinkles were evidence of strife and labor: each line stood for a struggle fought and a victory won. lt is that same drawn face that has looked down on our nation through the disappearing years. Today especially do we appreciate the wisdom of Lincoln's teachings. For in this year of 1942 merciless tyrants dominate a large portion of the earth, ruling their subjects with a creed far from that of with malice toward none. Their selfish greed for universal power is fed on thousands of human lives. With such barbaric conditions prevailing throughout the world, with the stability of our civilization threatened, with the cherished ideals of Lincoln so arrogantly ridiculed, the responsibility of maintaining democratic principles falls upon us. The cause for which we are now being asked to sacrifice, for which our fathers and brothers are willing to give their lives, was also Lincoln's cause. lf the mere witnessing of slaves being sold in a market brought pity and resentment to Lincoln, what would the enslaving of entire nations arouse in the heart of the Great Emancipator? lf he were alive today there is no doubt as to the stand he would take to preserve his nation's way of life. He was a lover of freedom and wished not only to insure it for his age, but for all times to come. He had long visualized a world free from oppressors and oppressed, from masters and slaves, from persecutors and persecuted. As I would not be a slave, he said, so l would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Lincoln recognized the essential worth and dignity of each human being. Today we, too, must hold aloft those high ideals: we, too, must abolish slavery and mastery from the face of the earth. Americanism emphasizes the equality of all men and each person's right to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happines. Only when the battle ceases with America the victor and tyrannical rule crushed forever will Lin- coln's ideals be triumphant. Although seventy-seven years have passed since that fateful day when Lincoln, weary and overburdened with worldly cares, was laid to rest, perhaps the incessant roar of cannons, the rumbling of enemy aircraft and the screaming of death-seeking torpedoes resounding o'er the earth has awakened him from the sweet sleep of death and made him aware of the perilous state of his country. But wherever Lincoln is he must be looking down and smiling that familiar smile of pity and hope which has gladdened the young and comforted the old, smiling scornfully at the foolhardy attempts of petty upstarts to crush the hopes and dreams of humanity, to extinguish the light of the world. He is thoughtfully stroking his beard and repeating once again in his slow country drawl those immortal words of encouragement: a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth!

From these students the Kelvynian staff is made up. Then, actual Work begins. The entire staff roams the halls, pursuing bashful seniors in search of inter- views to obtain information for the individual character sketches. In these character sketches the accomplishments of each person for his four years at Kelvyn must be condensed into forty words or less. Another problem in con- nection With the character sketches is the spelling of the names, since experi- ence has shcwn that a misspelled name usually brings out the Worst in the nature of the vict'm. While the gradrates are thus being accounted for, the articles are taking shape. The prospective Kelvynian author spends many evenings Writing his first draft, second draft, third draft, fourth . . . ad infinitum. By the time the final result is achieved, there is practically no resemblance to the original crude product. In the meantime, division circulation managers have been perambulating around divisions in search of subscribers, and the production staff has been counting words, lines, and paragraphs, getting each article to its proper size. Then, before one realizes that time has slipped by, the yearbook is out, and the student body is scurrying around collecting autographs. l26l IIIHIIT GIIES UII HERE M 1 1 'T .

UF IIIU UEHRS Talk about chaos and confusion! That morning my home could have held its own with any madhouse! Mother was tearing madly around with an iron, pressing my blue and yellow ribbons from grammar school. To my protests that no one wore gradua- tion ribbons to high school, Mom only smiled a devastatingly sweet smile, and said in a tone of voice that one might use to an utter idiot, But, darling, you'll be different! I would be different all right! As for my carrying the diploma along, I was helpless against this particular woman's intuition that they might want proof! Grunts and mutterings were issuing from a corner where my father was sweating and laboring feverishly at a self assigned task-shining my shoesl And what shoes! Black patent leather-with straps! I knew all the girls wore sporty saddle shoes, but I also knew it would do no good to voice my in- dignation. In another corner crouched my kid brother, toiling over a ten pound brief- case that my father's father had used! It was awfully battered with age, and it was Sonny's job to shine it up! I could throw that in my locker because a person couldn't carry such a heavy load around without feeling the effects, and, anyway, I knew very well that when you enter high school, you don't bother much with books! I was nearing the end of my rope when Grandma bustled up and handed me a lunch box as big as a breadbox! It was a treasured relic that she had dug out of her trunk. I smiled feebly and thanked her in a thin voice. What else can you do when your mother is glaring at you with o: Go-on, take-it-or- else look in her eye? So I took it, but I was sure that I'd have no use for it! I had been reliably informed that when one enters high school, a strict coke and hot dog diet is a necessary part of the curriculum! I did reach the end of my rope when mother dragged out the dress I was to wear. I shrieked so that even my best friend, on the next block, must have heard me! But there was reason for my madness! It was a horrible, icky- colored green monstrosity that was at least six inches above my knees, one I had always hated!! Visions of high school girls flashed through my mind- girls in sweaters that would fit the aveage 6'4 burly lumber-jack, sweaters so enormous and long that only a few inches of skirt showed. And how would I look? All the while I was being dressed I heard bits of advice. Use big words when you recite. That's how you get good marks! This from my mother. When they put you up for class president, l'll let you use a speech that cinched the election for me! Dad's two cents! Finally I trudged out with my old lunch box, heavy briefcase, ugly green dress, blacked strapped shoes cmd long braids! The family all stood on the porch waving and shouting last minute in- structions. Every time a neighbor's head would appear, Dad would shout, Look, my daughter is going to Q , Q' high school! Too bad a scout for We the People wasn't prowling around looking for prospects, or I'm cer- tain that next week my dad's voice would have been booming through millions of radios telling the world l of his extraordinary daughter! I- But I swallowed hard, turned and waved to a proud and grinning family, and disappeared down f - - the street-off into a new life! .. X - - V I Lois Schaefer rf I! !'l !I I X.. ! it . Ill! LIFE UJITH SHHKESPEHRE For years I regarded him with awe. Whenever a friend of mine casually mentioned that he had been reading The Tempest or Henry VI, I politely gasped. Even his name sounded impressive and mysterious, falling from the lips of intelligent appearing seniors. One couldn't help wondering what mys- teries English 4, 5, and 6 concealed when one saw upper-classmen cavorting madly about the corridors shouting, Is this a dagger which I see before me? or, in sonorous tones, Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears . . I wondered if that was the usual effect Shakespeare had on people, and shud- dered to think of spending the rest of my life in one of those institutions always mentioned discreetly in conversations as a result of my collision with those three distinguished gents: Iulius Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet. Aside from this, though, I somewhat happily anticipated the day when I, a mighty soph- omore, could languidly reply to the query What book is that you're reading? . . . Oh, just 'Caesar'! Rather decent stuff. At last it came. I smiled amiably at my fellow English-fours as We opened our thin blue books containing that work of works- Caesar. My jaw dropped. Pre-Shakespearean happiness crashed down around me. Here were creatures in gowns that appeared to be replicas of my grandfather's night shirt, brandish- ing knives above their heads, and speaking in-of all things!--poetry. It was a shock, of course, and one that we did not soon get over, but the end of the semester found us liking it, and actually clamoring for more. Class dramatizations were always amusing, whether the play of the moment was Caesar, Macbeth, or Hamlet. The kids roared with laughter to hear some blundering would-be actor. in a monotonous sing-song voice, mumble out the lines apportioned to Mark Anthony. In vain the teacher ap- pealed to his sense of emotion and drama: in vain he beseeched him to put some life. some feeling into those immortal lines uttered over the slain body of Caesar. It was ludicrous to the extreme to hear some mighty football player rumble out the lines of that silly little sycophant, Osric. Equally amused were we to hear some frail, studious individual's voice quaver over the part of the mighty Macduff. Excitement reigned whenever parts were being given out for class readings. Our teacher's eye would rove contemplatively over the classroom, trying to choose a cast that would do some justice to Shakespeare's genius, and not get tangled up after a line or two. Came the great moment: all of the parts had been given out with the exception of Hamlet. For a magical moment 34 minds hung in avid expectation. Who was to be Hamlet? But our dear teacher settled the matter by seizing this savory bit for himself. Thus it was with all the plays: he was always the shining Polaris of Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet. And you may rest assured that if Hamlet did not appear in some particular scene, this gifted teacher would then shift his dramatic abilities to the most prominent role in that scene. The rest of us had to be satisfied with minor and disgustingly 30 small parts. But while we pretended outward discontent, we knew in our hearts that not one of us could fill the leading role as well as he. and we admired his wisdom in saving the role from the ravages of an amateur Hamlet, Macbeth, or Caesar. When we expressed rebellion at being made to study Shakespeare, this same English teacher would stroll about the room, genially extolling upon the greatness of Shakespeare's works. Oftentimes he would stop in the middle of his reading to tell us how fortunate we were to be studying Shakespeare or to exclaim, Beautiful lines, those! Everybody get those lines doWn! But he was a good fellow at heart, and we forgave him this blind appreciation. At home it was another thing. My family had bravely endured my im- personations of Marcus Brutus, Polonius, and Caesar. BUT, when I tried to imitate Lady Macbeth in a high-pitched wail, meanwhile rubbing my hands with a bar of Woodbury, I nearly ended my dear parents, brothers, and sister in the psychopathic ward of the nearest hospital. In short, I was not appreciated. It added to my distress to hear them emit long, low, tortured groans when- ever I sat down to my English homework. Once, hearing To be or not to be for the one hundred and thirty-first time in one evening, my eldest brother leaped from his chair, howling with pain, and ran from the house. Outside, he paced feverishly up and down the block, stubbornly refusing to come inside unless I stopped reciting Hamlet. After that he would hide my English text so I couldn't study, but I always found it. This befuddled him, so that he developed a mental quirk and began to study Shakespeare himself. Today he is a profound Shakespearean scholar. You can imagine my sorrow, my deep regret, when my sixth semester began to wane and I saw the impending departure of Hamlet. Ah, the pangs of grief endured by me outweighed all of the suffering of the entire world! I even tried to flunk my final exam so as to be able to study Hamlet over again, but my teacher ruthlessly passed me. if 'k Q- Today whenever I see some poor unfortunate trying to master the long lists of Shakespearean quotations in the study hall, when I see a Iulius Caesar tucked securely under someone's arm in the corridor, or whenever I thumb through a chance copy of Macbeth in the library and vision old Hecate Cackling, Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn and cauldron bubble!

Well, have you ever realized just what diversified ac- tivities and services are offered by these clubs? ln these extra-curricular organizations the student may pursue and gain further knowledge in any activity in which he may be interested, whether it be debating, languages, I mathematical shortcuts with a slide rule, our Latin- f AA erican neighbors, or any one of a score of other fascinating subjects. Thyenthusiastic club-goer begins his week on Mon- jydaff y attending the Washington-Lincoln Oratorical Club which meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The chief purpose of this group is the in- struction of its membership in clear, concise, and atten- tion-holding speech. This training is invaluable as the ability to speak interestingly is an asset of great value in any vocation. The club sponsor is Miss lda Giachini. Another club meeting on Mondays is the very pop- ular Bowling Club, sponsored by Mr. David Mueller. Both boys' and girls' leagues are organized, the winning teams competing against teams from other high schools in the city championship tournament. The great pop- ularity of this club is explained by the fact that no spe- cial athletic ability is needed, almost anyone being capable of becoming at least a fair kegler. The Kelvyn Rangers meet each Monday and ride on Thursdays, weather permitting. The girls receive riding instruction at the stables, where classes for novice and advanced riders are held. The girls have opportunities to exhibit their equestrian ability in horse shows held by the stables. Tuesday is a banner day for the club-goer. The Stu- dent Council meets o he fi st an third Tuesdays of the pn h. The We t ncil is to promote ihfteles in schoo airs and to bring about better co-operati with ev y phase of school citizen- ship. One of the biggest tasks of the Student Council each semester is to acquaint the freshmen with Kelvyn schol- astic standards and the opportunities offered by the various courses and the extra-curricular activities. This is accomplished by the Freshman Achievement Assem- bly. This last semester, the Student Council also con- ducted drives against smoking near the school and against disorder in the corridors and in the lunchroom, an elped in the ticket-sale drives for the Home Talent W , the P. T. A. Musical, and for the Spring Festival. ? l jimi Lazarus served as president this semester The -L t culty sponsors are Mr. Edwin Lederer, Mrs. Gertrude Hayes, Miss Mildred Harms, and Mrs. Celia Selman.

The chief purpose of this club is to increase interest in the free discussion of currently important topics, thus Jfhglping to preserve one ,of the corner-stones of our de- f xliocracy.

The leading activity ot the was the annual Hop which was held last Decernbf at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. This affair is limited to the present members and the alumni ot the K Klub. Mr. Philip Brownstein and Mr. Edward Nelson are the sponsors. The Home Economics Club, which meets on alternate Fridays, at the present time has as its chiei activity the aiding oi the Red Cross. Members oi the club make dresses and baby garments as their contribution to the Red Cross and, thus, to victory. One oi Kelvyn's newer clubs is the Outdoor Club. This club has conducted tours to such places ot interest as lrene Castle's Orphans ot the Storm and the Anti' Cruelty Society. The chiet purpose of the club is to create and broaden interest in outdoor lite. When weather permits, the meetings are held out-oi-doors, in Kelvyn Park. under the direction of Miss Frances Fischer. The Or chestra makes a very important contrib ion to Kelvyn by playing at graduation exercises, u test' l the more important assembles.

Surely, the indomitable spirit of our gridders: My Q 0'our b tbal teams' successful season, the winning s of the anther nine, the fine showing made by our s ming teamg and the excellent playing of our tennis squad. Let us retrace our steps down the sports trail, momentarily, and review Kelvyn's athletic campaigns of 1941-42. Football was the main topic last fall. Our team was fairly light, and as a result, Coach Nelson placed ern- phasis upon fast and tricky plays and new formations. Remember that deceptive lineup from the huddle, and the play where the tackle carried the ball? Gunkel, our N220 und backfield man, was the nucleus of our offen- K A s.iXe xnost of the plays were built around him. As- ' in the backfield were Broniarczyk, Thelan- er, Koygsfeld, Schell, Kiolbasa, Freise, and others, all but there. Our line, one of the light- in years, made up for weight with plenty of courage. At center was sparkplug Erv Licko, and how that boy could tackle. The guards were little Bob Meyer and Pretty Boy Eklund, fighters both. Then, pt tackles were the stalwarts, Captain Howie Kloss and , sition when Reinertson was in there? Finally, Dick m dei and Bob McCarty were situated at ends, where ey took turns snagging 'em. The Panthers practiced iligently for four weeks, then opened their season ! Reinertson. Remember how they carried off the were no match for the heavier Foreman eleven, and they crossed our goal line three times. De- feats at the hands of Austin and Steinmetz followed, and then came the Tuley game. Playing against a team of our own size and weight, the Panthers triumphed, l9-12, in a game highlighted by Licko's 60 yard touchdown run. Marshall, our next opponent, barely eked out a victory over our fighting eleven as Gunkel passed to McCarty for one score, and ran over for the other him- self. Harrison and Crane completed our schedule, and both gave us somewhat of a shellacking. However, here as throughout the entire season, it was plainly a case of not having enough weight and good reserves against the more powerful West Section elevens. fogain t Foreman Gunkel crashed over for a touch Then, as the gridders were putting away their hel- mets, our basketball teams began to practice for the coming season. The seniors were particularly strong E38 PHRHIJE last year, with the addition of Pete Coorlas, who grad- uated from the juniors. Captain George Lecldy, George Anast, lim Brodie, and Gord Gillespie made up the rest of the five and what an outfit that was! After weeks of gruelling practice, Coach Brownstein succeeded in building up a smooth, fast-breaking quintet. However, the season began somewhat disastrously as we dropped ganmm KiWVeHs Ausun,and an upsetto'DHey.Chny by sweepmg Huoughtherestoftheschedub and de feahng Ckane and Nknshah nithe puxess dkithe Pandnxs gahithe covekxlriayohs and end up dnrd nithe VVey Secuon. VVho can everforgetour mnash vkiory over an overconhdent Senn teani nithe hrm playoff game? We piled up a l3-O lead as Senn looked on, which was a large enough margin to overcome their second half spurt, and we went on to win by five pohns. Then,the VVeHsteanithatdekxned us dunng the regukn'season,chd H agani Hithe auanerhnal ganmzandthwanedcmnlohygianstotakethecnytnki And that ended thaty a banner season for the seniors. Coorlas, incidentally fifth high scorer in the city, was picked for the all-city senior team in every newspaper pol Meanwhile, the junior basketeers started their season nnnus aH oflam yeafsiegukns. Coach Bumvnmenm however, built a new team around Babe McGinley and Bob Geddes and with the help of Matusoff, Bum- mead,and Somxsen Hmarauvenawd nnnom,though lacknug expenence, dekxned k4cKnney, VVashburne Foreman, and Medill while losing five games, to end up in a Heforfndipiace Hithe secnon. The bhggem and best teams in the city have learned to respect our fight- ing cagers. Slightly overshadowed by the basketball teams, but, nevertheless, deserving its full share of credit, was the swimming team, which was highly successful this year. ThejunKns,vdMJreknned BeH and Fnehe honithe pre- vious season and added the services Of speedy little Klein, paddled around almost every th the sec- tion. lflein .and,ABell, representing 'Kelvyn Park, also placed lin the city meets,lat9'r in ,the seasonj The senior natators, while not quite matching the performance of the juniors, did their share in'burning up the water. Vet- erans Agger,'Petrakovitz and Karkow constituted the backbone of the seniors, and led their team' to many a victory. 4 if h' 2 A., A ' Bowling, while not' a full-fledged inter-school sport, nevertheless has an active following at Kelvyn Park and, therefore, cannot be left out. Mainly through the f39l .,l..1,f1..J7 'h- 'lL' til-411 GIRLS' top-flight kegling ot Hesik and Micheletti, their team, the Spareblowers, took first place honors in Kelvyn Park's bowling league, and went on into the city play- otts. Here, the Spareblowers rolled all the way into the semi-finals before being defeated by one solitary pin. With the advent of spring, the Panther tennis team once again resumed training, and should go far this year. The racketeers' main hopes lie in regulars Cap- tain Matusoit and Potel, who will play the singles matches. Add to them the newcomers Hyman, Knees, Rhino, and Szczepaniak, and you have Kelvyn's net team, which will, no doubt, carry on the traditions oi former Panther tennis teams and Win more than their share of matches. Then, as we draw the year to a close, we have the highly successful baseball nine, under the supervision of Coach Brownstein. The Panthers can boast of one of the best teams in the city this year. To take the mound duties we have dependable Dick Pranke and Larry Foreman and the sensational newcomer, Bill Lukitsch. Backing them up are such power hitters as Coorlas, Leddy, Gillespie, Bumstead, Pippenberg, Suchor, and Kisly. And what a combination they make! Who can forget the 29-2 stampede over Tuley, and our smash vic- tories over Wells, Foreman, Marshall, McKinley, and Austin. Does our team click? Well, just ask some ot the schools we've already played. Well, there it is. For a comparatively small school, Kelvyn Park is certainly well represented in every field ot sport. The l94l-42 season, which has just passed, shows once again that old K. P. will continue to be tops in sports tor many years to come. Arne Slettebak if iv as The feminine portion oi Kelvyn Park's student body entered enthusiastically into the world ot sports during the past year, thoroughly enjoying Kelvyn's Biding Club and Bowling Leagues, the G.A.A., and the gym classes. So many girls became bowling conscious that the number ot girls' bowling leagues increased from two to tour during the last two semesters. There are eight teams in a league with tour girls to a team. The two leading teams in each league were invited to compete in the tirst National Telegraphic Meet last April in which they made a good showing. During the last semester, the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion has been under the capable leadership ot Mildred Thoresen as president, Betty Ratzer as vice-president, T40 . , f SPURTS lean Clark as secretary, and lnga Hansen as tr' , The G.A.A, members will not soon forget the activities of this year, especially the Christmas party. There were grab bags and peppermint sticks and dancing and en- tertainment, and even a Santa Claus all rolled into one enioyable afternoon. The gym classes continue to provide some muc needed exercise as well as an added loa f r most of us. We practice on the mats, turn ersg expertly, stand on our heads till our fa ar g tomato red, and attempt horribly a rd hand- springs. N-Z I And then there are always calisthenics and exerci' sW,,,I on the stall bars and rings to give us a set of pain u muscles the next day. But we always get some relief by boastfully bewailing our miseries to our fellow suf- ferers. ln the fall season, basketball is the sport most played. Ol course, ours is a relatively slow game. We aren't allowed to dribble or take more than one step' -ands-it3s so easy to lose count. When shooting at those far tant baskets, the ball usually goes over the backboah, leaving us wondering how our Kelvyn teams ever makg such beautiful bucket-balls. 'xl' ln the spring, the volley ball nets are strung up and. we exhibit our skill in direct serves and volleying. Toi make an already exciting game even more so, there arQ usually several direct hits - into the faces of the players. Then there is a mass rush to the injured teammate to -7 ascertain the extent of the damage. I-lorrified gasps at the sight of smeared lipstick or a misplaced curl follow, and the victim is properly consoled. After this diversion the game proceeds until the next such incident. But when the baseball season arrives, we are either in our glory or our misery depending directly on our ability with a bat. The games are usually played out- ofedoors, and if you are unfortunate enough to have gym during a lunch period, you may hear some jeering remarks and heckling phrases concerning your ability. These constructive comments are voiced by the after- lunch strollers. Luckily our sense of humor usually forces us athletes to accept their raillery in the spirit of fun in which it is given. So you can see that even though we girls are JM to carry Kelvyn into prep sport competition, we s il e- rive many pleasures and benefits from our activities on the athletic field. Lorraine Craelius 41 l 7 N THE HIHERIIHII HERITHGE Hello friends! l'm. here to tell you something important. l'm as important and mean as much to you as your family, your home, or living and dying. I am the Constitution! I have a history I'd like to tell you about. You see, for many centuries previous to 1787 men had dreamed of a place where the air did not carry the groans of the oppressed, where a man could work toward a goal and achieve it, where a man was a man and not a lord or a slave. This was the dream and these were the hopes. And then, on a September day in 1787 I was signed, an insurance for the humble and the proud, for the pauper and the banker, for the strong and for the weak. I belonged to no one, yet I belonged to everyone. But liberty didn't reach full bloom in 1787. No, it took years and decades and tears and toil. It took men with strong backs and women with stout hearts to make the dream a reality. When the East grew out of its three cornered pants and men became rest- less with the settled conditions, they turned to the West in search of adventure and freedom. They pushed the frontier over mountain and desert, over prairie and river, through rain, snow and wind until they reached the Pacific. Yes, we were building a great and powerful nation. We fought our wars, cut timber, annexed land and planted our crops. Then out of the work of the calloused hands and the aching backs, out of the years of toil in the good earth, out of the blood, tears and sweat, America arose-great and strong!! But who did all this? It wasn't done by the wealthy landowners. It wasn't done by the great railroad magnates. It wasn't done by any one group or faction. It was done by Iohn Doe! Yes, Iohn Doe made this nation. Oh, you don't know Iohn Doe? Well, he's an old timer. He was one of those rebel ruffians who ran the Boston Tea Party. He was a sailor on the American frigate to whom the captain shouted, Don't give up the ship. He was a big black slave singin' Dixie. Iohn was a Con- federate soldier worshipping his beloved Robert E. Lee, and a Union militiaman lying on a battlefield, wounded, thinking of his home in Ohio. Mr. Doe built the Union Pacific spike by spike, rail by rail. Iohn used to carry a six-shooter, too! He was a squatter racin' for a piece of land in Oklahoma and an adven- turer panning for gold in California. He led torch light parades for his presi- dential candidate and had something to say about all the issues. He was a doctor dying of Yel1ow lack in Panama. He was a doughboy filled with spirit 42 43 and pride in 1917, and a basket case in 1918. He was the good times boy of the 1920's and the fellow in the long breadlines during the depression years. And today? Well, if you want to meet Iohn Doe today, stop at any crossroads corner from 42nd and Broadway to 4th and Main and you'll see lots of Iohn Does. He's the fellow who yells his head off at the ballgame Saturday after- noon and walks his family to the neighbohrood church on Sunday morning. He's a hard working steelworker in Pittsburgh, and a brakeman on the Balti- more and Ohio. He's a small rancher with 500 head of cattle in the panhandle of Texas. You know that smoky chili joint on Madison Street, he owns that place. Iohn's a lonely gas station attendant on the Lincoln highway. He's got a farm in Iowa and raises 100 acres of corn. He's a cabby racin' for a 30c fare in order to get bread for his wife and kids. He's a sharecropper toiling in the field the live-long day and finding himself in the red at the end of the year. He's black, white, red, yellow, brown and every color God made men. Iohn works hard and makes from zero per week to millions per annum. Some guy! Yes, he's the one who made America. Today there are 130,000,000 lohn Does. Some are doctors, some dentists, some farmers, some skilled laborers, some W.P.A. men, some overstuffed Wall Street bankers and some are just bums. lohn smokes anything from 2 for 5c cigars to Sl,500 meerschaum pipes. He likes to drive new cars and to admire something beautiful. He loves a windy hill and sunset and the cool virgin soil. The smell of spring lightens his step. Yes, sir! He's an American. He's you and your next door neighbor and the fellow who lives across the street. And speaking about me, the Constitution, and Iohn Doe, why, we are inseparable. I insure his rights and he protects me. As long as Iohn Doe is a thinking, moving, intelligent force then you are free, but when prejudices and hate and greed creep into his existence, then liberty is lost. When Iohn wrote my preamble, he expressed the general ideas of demo-' cratic living, and in the main theme he gave the basic structure of government whereby 130,000,000 Americans live. ln those first 10 amendments he insured those inalienab1e rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happines to posterity. Iohn Doe wrote thatl Iohn and I have been together for over 150 years and we have realized much. We know now that we have a more priceless possession than even the vast wealth of our country. That possession is our American heritage of free- dom. That is our strength and our pride. That is the gift of our ancestors that was gained through 150 years of struggle. It is a gift that means more each day. It is something we cannot, we must not, we will not lose. l know! William Lazarus - Q 4 Jil fit . QX so f iff ' K Q -.QNX KS' I1 5 x -5 l 1 u -' V - 1 .

REVERIES Ill THE l'IlGHT The sergeant had shouted for the last time that day: the murmur of the boys had died down: loe's new buddy, the fella' on his left, had turned over and was snoring loudly already, and now joe, Private Ioseph Clarence Smith, lay on a lumpy cot mattress and gazed at the sky-a sky that looked like yards and yards of black velvet studded with diamonds. There was an almost un- earthly stillness all around except for the clump, clump, clump, of the heavy boots of the guard, and the snoring of young men-healthy, hearty young men, weary after their first day at camp. Soldiers! Yes, that's what they were, all right. Gee, it was swell to get out of that scratchy khaki uniform, thought Ioe, as he turned and stared into the inky blackness of the night. Somewhere, off on the lonely expanse of prairie that stretched beyond the crudely built barracks, a cricket began its monotonous song. Ioe grinned to himself. When joe was five, his pockets were always full of crickets: Mom wouldn't allow them in the house in jars, so they were smuggled in by way of his pockets. At night when the crickets in his pockets began to chirp loudly, Mom would come storming in and throw pants and all out of the nearest window! Yes, crickets brought back memories. ' Soon he was too old for playing with bugs -he started school! How astonished and frightened his teacher had been when he fell over on his face and lay in the aisle, pretending to be dead . . . but she had no right to scold him so, just because he couldn't say c-a-t spells cat! He didn't care what c-a-t spelled! But this trick of his was a pretty good one he thought. You just fall over and lie there, he had boasted to his pals. For a long time he was treated with kid gloves because the teacher thought that poor little Ioe has heart trouble and can't stand to be reproached. Ioe's grin widened as he recalled being discovered one day when he burst out laughing while lying on the floor, and how both Mom and Dad had to come to school. That time he was just ten, and hid behind the garage and tried smoking one of his father's cigars. He had no sooner taken his first puff, when his father appeared on the scene. Poor little Ioe trembled when he saw the look on his father's face, and he knew, too, that his punishment wasn't going to be the usual thrashing. But his father merely handed him FIVE MORE big black cigars and stood watching him until he had smoked every last one of them and then turned and walked calmly into the house. It wasn't long until he was a senior in high school, complete with brush haircut, baggy pants, saddle shoes, and a tendency for whistling. His father was finally convinced that Ioe was old enough to drive the family car. But after his first solo, the car was dragged back by a wrecking truck minus two back wheels, a couple of broken windows, and, oh, yes, the horn wouldn't work. Well, gee whiz! How's a fella' going to learn unless from experience? Ioe turned over and thumped the pillow hard with his fist. With his fist- the way he had punched Kent Cramer on the jaw that time. It was all over Elsie. Elsie was his girl, and Kent had no business cutting in. Ioe wondered if she really would wait for him, and not go tearing around town with Kent. No, she was a swell girl. She'd be loyal and true to him-she had said so at the train depot just before he left. She had looked so sweet and pretty in her new dress that was all ruffles and flowers! She had clung to him when the conductor had shouted All aboard for the last time: but when the train was pulling out of the station, she waved and even managed to smile a little. Elsie would wait, of this he was sure. 46 47 Dad, too, had been swell about his going. Good old Dad had been in the Iirst war, and knew that in these times a fellow just HAS to get in there and pitch in. Toe saw that his fathers eyes were misty, but he pretended not to notice. Dad had shook his hand, and then, suddenly, he had his arms around his son's neck. After a moment he drew back, embarrassed at his display of emotion and said softly, Well, son, you're on your own now. You don't have to come back all covered with medals that isn't the only thing that shows you've been a good soldier. lust do your best, and let it be said that my boy is a man! Mom had tried to be brave, too, but, well, dear old Mom is one of those soft-hearted women who cry if they see a wounded birdl Hurry back, son, hurry back! she stammered between sobs. The rest was a vague blur. Shoving men who literally carried him to the train turning and stretching to see the folks --pushing his way to a window on the train for a last wave and look his mother running down the platform after the fast disappearing train the confusion at camp as they all stood around, suitcases in hand the sergeant who first took charge of them who wasn't a bit gruff and tough like the ones you hear of and see in the movies the surprise of not having beans for supper -coffee out of cups at least an inch thick instructions issued standing at attention while the flag was being low- ered ialling exhausted on an army cot- and here he was, still trying to fall asleep!! Funny, the thoughts that race through your mind when you're trying to sleep and can't. loe heaved a sigh. The figure on the next cot whispered, Whats the mat- ter, fella, can't you sleep either? Bet you're worried and kinda' frightened, too. Sure, l know just how you feel. But don't worry, everythings going to work out all right, just you wait and see. Well, g'night, Soldier! Worried? Scared? Yeah, thought Toe, guess l am kinda' at that! But l won't be for long no, sir! This is iust all new stuff to me, that's all! Yeah, that's it, it's just something new! The cricket still chirped, the moon slipped behind a cloud, and Ioe's head settled back against the pillow. Lois Schaefer. Three cads in plaids . . . Paiamafpals . . . One, two, three, kick . . .
