I U-Q Uhr Glummvni OWYXXGHSO 4- , 'YO SS' IO X F O V. QQ ? ik enkuk, Emma Glass '2 1 RU' Gin the Grahuates nf Qesterhap Down the long vista of years we see them on the broad highway of life. Some are walking, almost alone, on the smooth, sunshine-bathed side of this highway. lVlany are elbowing, pushing, jostling and being jostled in the more crowded walks of life. Some few have lost the broader paths and are plunging blindly along in weeds and brambles. Some there are who, weary, have laid down the burdens of life and only their souls, their memories Hit across the paths. Just as June is the month of roses, so, too, is it the month of memories. All along this broad road we call life, memories are blooming. They tug at the very heart strings and bring to mind the days of long ago. As you journey on your way, heed the message of these flowers of memory! Look back for a moment! Recall the happy days when you were the graduates of yesterday! Recall the fellow- ship of school and classroom! Feel again the pressure, warm and firm, of the guiding hand of teachers! A noble band of friends, advisors and pals. Look back through mist and fog, even through tears, to the school which sent you forth. Let its ideals guide you, let them stay your wavering steps. Let the lessons taught you by those guides, those traditions and mottos bring you happiness, strength and help. And as you pause to pay your homage to the school that sheltered you in days gone by, recall its happy moments and know that the allegiance which you owe it, is returned a hundred fold to you-the Graduates of Yesterday, the Alumni of today. fi ' ix Q : N K' R S -5i?L7-1 - 'ij - x- , - ff ' .Y -L' 1,5 ix - T f-- 'gggs S 1 gr: -' X2 f' i- f Q 4 Q' - X i-i'5'f' :T ii?

For keep it we must if we make our lives Aught but parallels of time. VVC have the muscles longing for trial, And the starting's dynamic elation, A strong, stark joy in the foam and the rocks, And the peace of a destination. Though rellected hope is all we have, VVhen the goal is out of sight, Journeyers into the west to the sun Nlust travel oft by the moonlight. Let us never bargain with future or past, Including them, calm, as the horizon clears For ours is a journey far to go, And a rendezvous at the end of the years.

Une of those this year is 'Khlake it short and snappy. I shall follow this rule while giving the class history. There were nearly 100 of us who started school as Freshmen. At that time we looked at the four years in High School as something very hard, yet we had a determination to master the many difficulties. As the United States was at war with Germany, everyone was asked to save. We sacrificed our social gatherings. All of our energy was put upon our studies. For the first three years the only social gath- ering, as a class, was at the Country Club. VVe, as Juniors did much hard work to make the Junior-Senior a success. While Juniors we elected the following ofhcersz Albert C-lewe, President. Fame Bell, Vice-President. lWary Cochrane, Secretary. Max Jones, Treasurer. ln our Junior year a very deplorable thing happened. Our class- mate, Elmer Jingst, was accidentally drowned at Pricels Creek. Elmer was one whom everybody liked, and we are sorely grieved be- cause of his loss. Now comes the Senior year. A sense of responsibility seemed to rest upon us. VVC were looked up to as we looked upon the Seniors when we were lower classmen. VVe elected the following 0Hicers of our class: Raymond Kirchner, President. Mary Cochrane, Vice-President. Evelyn Harter, Secretary. Carroll Nelson, Treasurer. The first party we had as Seniors was September 30, 1920, at Frank Bertsch's place, on the Main Street road. Miss Handy, bliss Casey, Miss Solomon and Miss Roberts were our guests. lVIiss Casey sur- prised us when she told the fortunes of a few of us. Our next social event was at Katherine Dimond's house, on Uctober 28, 1920. Games were played, dancing was indulged in, and refresh- ments were served. The witty remarks of lylr. Dillbeck were the cause of much laughter. Everyone had a good time. On December 17, the juniors and the Seniors had a party at the Masonic building. A few of the teachers were invited and they THF COMMENT 21 amused us With an old-clothes race. Raymond Kirchner brought his friend, f'Sally Hobbs, of Nauvoo. 'LSally turned out to be an exact likeness of VValter Hobbs. Everyone enjoyed himself very much. , Un all the athletic teams the Seniors have held a prominent place. At the Fairfield basketball tournament Raymond Kirchner, Captain of our team, was selected as one of the players on the all-tournament team. Walter Hobbs was placed on the second team. QIt is quite a compliment to be placed on either of the first or second teamsj. We come to a close of our Senior year with many regrets. We would that we might linger here with our patient and never tiring teachers. We thank all of them, and especially bliss Solomon and Dr. Reid, for the moral and intellectual backbone with which they have provided us. Yve feel assured that in future, when obstacles block our path, We shall be able to overcome successfully those obstacles. DUANE LAMASTER. CLASS PROPHECY It had been a great many years since I had visited in the home town where my early school days had been spent, and it was with great curiosity that I rode up Broadway the morning of my arrival. The Hrst great changes that impressed me Were the numerous sky- scrapers. These, I learned, had been built by the famous architect, Graffen Blood. His day dreams during his school days had been real- ized, after all. I bought a paper, just before going to the hotel, and discovered that Junior Skirvin was general manager, which proves what a man can do when he applies himself. A select boarding school for girls had been erected, of which Ruth Kraushaar is President and Ruby Beck, Dean Clarice Lichenberger and Lucille Schmidt had charge of the Department of Domestic Arts Cand their skilled experience has won each a home and husbandj. Hazel Sullivan and Irene Johnson are the Student Advisors. fTheir motto is: A word to the Wise is suflicient. j Because of the vast increase in population, Keokuk has great de- mand for a taxi system. Connable VVills has met this need by estab- lishing the Keokuk Transfer Company. A Chautauqua Company has been organized in Keokuk and makes a national tour yearly. Nina Van Ausdall acts as advance advertising Z2 THE COMMENT agent, and her winning smile and her charming personality are never without the best results--Ross can tell you that. The musical depart- ment is carried on by Verne La Porte, Mary Galloway and Helen Treadwell. QTheir selections are always met with much applause and appreciationj Rex VVilcoX and Hallie Lloyd have become known as the two greatest comediansfl Their past conduct in the assembly was merely a forerunner of their future fame. Palmer Pyle, with his good looks and winning smile, won as his wife a multi-millionheiress. Palmer has, at last, reached his greatest ambition-a life of luxury and ease. Helen Alvis and Margaret Hayden are both practicing Home Eco- nomics and seem very happy. Keokuk has at last a new High School-the largest and best equipped in the United States. Anna Louise Doyle is the principal, and in spite of the spring days, there is a perfect attendance. How times have changed! hladaline Hallahan is a kindergarten teacher in the slums and her work has done much to make the little children happy. A branch of Gregg school has been instituted in Keokuk. Ellie Johnson acts as chief dictator, because she speaks so slowly and dis- tinctly. Nlargaret Ryland and Gladys lNlcKenney display great pa- tience in the correction of papers-especially hlargaret. Because of her efficiency, Vera Schoel was chosen General Managei' of the school. ln spite of her dignified and business-like oflice she is frequently calling for a light lunch. How true it is that habits formed in High School follow one through life. V ' hlarjorie Hill is personal stenographer and otlicial reporter to the President of the United States. Qfhis is not surprisincf. as lVla'rjorie always did have a way of pushing herself inj .' D , Raymond Allen is a designer for men's clothes. method re- quires no models. His principle is-when you want a thing done Well, do it yourselfj . Frank Bertsch is a very prosperous farmer, and his crops always Win first place, with the exception of Harold Sutherland's famous strawberries, with which he furnishes the vicinity both summer and winter, and Yansee Dawson's prize watermelons. Frank has little trouble in calling in the cows, due to his practice as yell leader back in the High School days. Clyde james is Professor of Science at Cornell University, and Kenneth Bevering is his able assistant. THE COMMENT 23 George Raber is Professor of Analytical Geometry at the University of California. He is known as the most capable teacher the Uni- versity has ever known, which is probably due to his early preparation in High School. Birdwell Sutlive is captain of a large ocean liner and his nautical ex- pressions which he developed in Miss Casey's lfnglish room are of great assistance to him. Alta Bradley is President of the Tuskogee College and her private secretary is Virginia Stewart. Fowler Phillips and Robert Pagett are both prosperous business men. Fowler is head of the overalls department at Irwin-Phillips. Carl Pilug is manager of the Nash factory, which has been advanc- ing and enlarging wonderfully under his management. Elmer Thon has become a great orator and his favorite subject is Where and How to Get lt Since july 1, 19207 Mary Louise Cochrane and Ruth Streeter are settlement workers in New York City fand have done much to better the conditions therej. Wilma Hancock and Irene VVilcox are the poets of the age. VVil- ma's Howery language won national fame for her, after all. James Galloway is at very competent lawyer and has never been known to lose a case. flt has been said that he has great opportunity for argumentation, which he practices on his adopted family of four- teen childrenj. Walter Hobbs is a senator from Illinois. They say it is surprising the way he has overcome his slow and bashful manners. fHe ob- tained an early start, though, from his frequent visits to the Pond Apartmentsl. Nlax Jones has been made head of the Steel Trust, in place of Gary, because of his hard and determined looks, which he practiced in the halls of the old Keokuk High School. Neil O'Brien's Nlinstrels have improved wonderfully, due to Earl Johnson's cleverness as end man. Raymond Kirchner, who was President of our class, still retains his title and is President of Stone 31 Webster. Virgil Keneff is head of the Agricultural Department at Ames. He believes in a time for work and a time for play-especially the latter. Irvin Lamb is President of the National Bank of New York City. He seems to have no interest in his wife and children-all his thoughts are at the bank. Nellie Elster and Ruby Brown are his expert ac- countants. 24 THECOMMENT Daisy Renaud does her shopping in a lNilillspaugh triple-six, which far surpasses the Packard twin-six of 1921. Junior hates to change, but it is always just as Daisy says, and, besides, Russel presented it to them for their trip around the world, as an advertisement. Elizabeth Maxwell and Bernice Smith are both tall and stately, due to their great discovery of a tonic which never fails to bring re- sults. Harley Poole, who is a floor-walker in lN'larshall-Fields, has secured positions for them as models there. Vera Leake is chief stenographer at the Power House and is mak- ing a large salary. hlildred Riley has become an elocutionist. Qlt always was easy for Mildred to appear before the publicj. Duane La Master is a Y. M. C. A. athletic director. His early propensity for such work won him the position. john Landman has won more money by doing nothing than anyone ever yet known. Georgia Wilsey is chairman of the Womeiils National Democratic Committee. Her arguments in High School served as a great help to her. Fred Miller is Professor of Physics, and it is said that he had chosen the fine example of lNlr. Dilbeck. Ruth Steinmetz and Eleanor Schlotter have gone in for silent drama. Their latest production is entitled Drink to Me Qnly With Thine Eyesfl Eugenia Maxwell took an overdose of the Smith-Maxwell tonic, and is thinner than ever. Nevertheless, she has won world fame as an artist. Muir Martin is head accountant of the YVestern Electric Company and has won many friends, due to his influence in reducing the gas rates. Edith Kiedaisch has opened a Nlatrimonial Agency for men. QShe always made them think they had a chance until she got them married off to someone elsej. Hazel Courtney is an instructor of Physics at Wellesley College, and her clear and concise explanations have won her great admiration from her students. Carroll Nelson has become at chemical engineer and has made al- most enough to build a home for Elizabeth. THE COMMENT 25 Nlarian Nlegchelsen is a missionary in Siam, and her faithfulness and kindness have won a place for her in the hearts of the Siamese people. jack blarsh is a senator, and is known as the Hobstructionistf' He can say the most in the least time of any speaker in Congress. Kathryn Dimond is manager of the Dimond Nlilling Company, but it is expected she will soon transfer her management to the Landman household. Evelyn Hatter has become editor of the f'Dial Nlagazinef' and it is surprising to note how the number of subscribers increased, in spite of the fact that Evelyn's attention is divided- Athletics vs. Cement. 77 Bernice Greenslaugh has opened a beauty parlor, and has done Wonders with the people of Keokuk. Elizabeth Loefller is head dramatic critic of the International Film Company of America. Carroll is the only one who escapes her criti- cism. Albert Glewe is President of DuPont de Nemours, and his large income enables him to furnish his employes with silk shirts. A Albert's stenographer is Frances lfolker, and she is of wonderful assistance to him. Ernest Off is coach of the Dartmouth football team, which, due to Ernie's energy and direction, has become the champion eleven of the World. This splendid record of my classmates is very gratifying, and it is with the most pleasant memories that I resumed my travels.

The Dramatic Club re- places the Keohi Debating Society and, as such, has a broader scope than the former society. The Annual Declamatory Contest Was held on February 7, in the High School assembly room. There were two divisions, the dramatic and the humorous. Virginia Ayres was winner in the dramatic section and Zola Boltz in the humorous. As winner-over-all, Virginia Ayres was chosen to represent K. H. S. in the pre-district contest at Bloom- field, Iowa. In December, a Pilgrim's Pageant and a farce were presented by the Dramatic Club. Miss Helen Gallagher and the Dramatic Club have had charge of the Friday morning meetings and have assumed the responsibility of presenting on program a month.

The bonlires glared and the yells echoed, because the school had more pep than ever beforeg and be- cause the pupils were behind the team in every way, with their money as well as their voices. We owe much of our success to lNlr. Crimmins who, when lNIr. Cunningham went into the army again, came to our rescue and brought the team into the limelight.

Very, very cold, much colder than she had ever been in all the six years of her uneventful life, and she pulled her ragged mantilla closer about her shoulders and tried to hide her bare feet under the frayed edges of her short skirts. Aside from being cold, she had that peculiar gnawing sensation in her stomach that her mother has said in answer to her question, was hunger. She was sure that she was hungry nowg very, very hungry. Much hungrier than she had been in all her life. She chewed vigorously on a piece of sugar cane that she had found, but the sweet juice only made the pain grow worse, as the funny white water had made the fire burn brighter When el padre had thrown it on the smouldering mesquite. She tried to swallow some of the pith from the cane, but it stuck in her throat. Brejilita was an orphan. Her father had been killed while in the service of Pancho Villa Where he lived, as he termed it, on mucho mescal pero no frijolesf' QLots of whisky, but no beansj. After his death her mother had brought her across the Rio Grande into the United States in the hope of finding some work. They had settled down with her aunt in a small Mexican village built on the edge of the riosaqua, but work had not been plentiful. Mrs. Varges, for that was her name, had found work when the planting season opened, but in kneeling in the water-soaked soil as she planted onion sets, she had contracted a heavy cold. When they irrigated and the cold mountain waters of the Rio Grande slushed around her bare feet, 78 THE COMMENT the cold turned into quick consumption, and she was carried off on the first breath of the Northern that was now chilling Brejilita with its freezing claws. Brejilita was sitting on a pile of half rotten corn husks by a ruined elevator. lt was her duty every day to come here and pick over the husks in the hope of finding a few grains of corn ora nubbin or two so that they could have tortias to eat. lt seemed years since she had last eaten one of these corn cakes. She had sorted busily all afternoon with her numb fingers and was rewarded with three small nubbins and a fed rat-eaten half ears. As she worked she hummed a tune that she had heard the white children singing at their school. lt was: This is the way to make your tea, Make your tea, make your tea. This is the way to make your tea, So early in the morning. Her version of it took the following form: This is the way to make tortias. Make tortias, make tortias. She did not know the rest, but that did not matter to her. Suddenly her fingers came upon something hard-and long. lt was-yes surely it was a whole ear of corn! This was truly wealth. What would la madre say? Wouldnlt she be happy to think that-Brejilita remem- bered, remembered that still white form that looked like her mother, but yet was not her mother. No, it couldn't be her mother, even though la tia had said it. Brejilita could not understand why the women had come to her house and cried and moaned so as they looked at the body they said was her mother. Why had they sung all through the preceding night? Why were they wailing and crying so when she had slipped out to come here? These and other question were beyond her comprehen- sion. Brejilita looked up from her work. It was getting dark, very, very dark, and it was getting colder. She could hear the voices of the women as they chanted, bursting out in song, and then the quiet fol- lowing only to have the silence broken by more heart-rending music. Now there was a stir andbustle throughout the village in the prepara- tion of the scant eveningmeal. Brejilita felt strangely apart from it THE COMMENT 79 all. She could hear in the distance the tinkle of Pedro's goat bells as he drove the herd up from the valley. Somewhere a baby was crying. lnnumerable burros began their evening song, while the dogs-hun- dreds of dogs-barked in anticipation of something to eat. The smell of strong coffee that is always associated with a Mexican village, and of corn cakes that were too hot came tantalizingly to her nostrils. But Brejilita was not hungry now, and a strange sense of warmth was coming over her. She was so drowsy, so sleepy and-and- Somewhere a cuckoo saluted the coming night with his low notes while Brejilta slept. Never more would she feel that peculiar gnaw- ing sensation that was hunger. Never more was she to be taunted with derisive cries of Spick and l'lVlex, for she had gone where little white children and little Nlexican children were equal. She slept the sleep of unawakening.

FRESHIIC, YOU CAN'T VVhen you're a Freshman, green and new, With others making fun of you, You can't hold up your head and you can't keep cool, 01' go around like you owned the school. You cannot laugh like all the rest, Or just be cheerful and do your best, You cannot smile when you are blue, And stand and take your scoldings, too, Each day you can't have lessons done, Withotit outside help from anyone: You can't sit in your seat all day, VVithout turning your head to talk or play, You can't get your lessons and play too, But mind what the Seniors tell you to dog You can't keep on when you are blue, You'll give it up, you can't go through, You can't keep out of trouble like the rest, You can't show your pep, you can't do your bestg And if you keep on at this rate, You canlt be a Senior, and you can't graduate. 80 THE COMMENT NEVER FOR THE MOVIES Arthur Bingham Carlyle's traveling bag was a gift from his uncle. Alice Borton Carroway's bag was a gift from her aunt. The bags were of black leather with black straps and heavy brass locks. They had been made by the same manufacturer. They were very hard to tell apart. Arthur and Alice were strangers. They lived in towns fifty miles from each other. Arthurls uncle and Alice's aunt Weren't strangers, however. They had had their romance years before. Then there had been a quarrel. Uncle had gone to China to forget. VVhen he returned, he searched all over for Alice's aunt, but he could not find her. He had never married. Neither had she. Each hoped Fate would some day bring them to each other. Fate didn't- quite. It brought them to within fifty miles of each oth-er and left them to do the rest. One day Arthur had occasion to go to New York. In the train he sat next to a charming girl. He did not attempt to speak to her, for he Was a gentleman. His traveling bag rested on the floor next to hers. You've guessed it-the girl was Alice, and the initials on her bag were the same as those on Arthur's-A. B. C. In Arthur's bag was a jumble of pajamas, shirts, socks, etc. And a picture of his uncle. Alice's bag Was neatly packed with fllmy under- things of flesh and mauve color, Webby silk stockings, perfume bottles and powder boxes-and a picture of her aunt. As the train rolled into the station something happened. Arthur picked up a bag and rushed for the door. Alice picked up the other bag and made her way out the other door. In his hotel room Arthur opened the bag. At her boarding house Alice opened her bag. Arthur took from his bag the pajamas, shirts and socks, and the picture of his uncle. Alice took from her bag the Hlmy underthings of flesh and mauve, the bottles and boxes.-and the picture of her aunt. Each had taken the right bag. What an original ending for their romance! CECIL FULLER, 23. THF COMMENT 81 9 . This little thing which l have in mind has caused more discomfort, worry, despair and work than almost any other thing I know of in this school. CI-'lease don't all speak at once, for it is not Dr. Reidj It is of various colors-black, blue, green, violet, purple, red and others, but the ones which probably have the most ellect are black. They are very funny things, indeed, coming sometimes in quartets, triplets, twins and singly, and sometimes not at all. QT prefer them not at all. j To some they come as a matter of course, and are expected, always prepared for, but HUT67' welcomed. To others they come as a thunderbolt, paralyzing everything ex- cept reserved speech. They are somewhat hard to describe, because of their complex shape. Their construction is quite peculiar. Starting from a certain point they swoop down, hitting the line and bouncing back. The ac- tion is completed by crossing the line of descent at a low altitude and climbing upward to finish by circling around the starting point. This all happens quickly and silently but, as before mentioned, the results are sometimes deadly and disastrous.

You do. So do I. A TOUCHDOWVN City schools were something new to Milt Dale, as were the city habits and occupations. The great throngs of people awed him, the bustle of traffic on the busy streets caused him to stop and stare. He had entered a new and strange life-one that was to prove the ability that was in him. lVIilt Dale had been born and raised in the northern Woods of Nlaine. His early schooling had taken place in a small lumber town. But his teaching had been thorough, and Milt was a boy known for his scholarship. His woods training had made him keen and alert, He walked with a gracefulness that only men used to long forest train- ing can acquire. But that was in the backwoods of Maine, and this was a city of Iowa. lVlilt Was to enter the High School as a Junior. His family had recently moved to this city and Milt was iust becoming acquainted with the ways of his new life. It was in September that Milt Dale first attended the city school. The first day was a torture to him. The fellows around him made fun of his inability to get the f'hang of the ways of the school. 84 THE COMMENT On his third day at school lVIilt noticed an announcement on tne bulletin board. A crowd of fellows were bunched around it. They were excited and Nlilt, seeing this, hurried forward to see what the notice might say. He read it. 'fNotice to all candidates for this yearls football teaml Football practice will start tomorrow. livery- one be out in clothes prepared to llforlc. Our first game is two weeks off. Let's have a big representation. f'Signed: Coacu VVrs'roN. if VVhat does it mean?l' asked blilt. lt's football practice, lNlilt, replied one of the fellows. lt starts tomorrow. Everyone is asked to be out. You can go too. l have some clothes you can wear. VVC play our first game against Shirley two weeks from Saturday. f'l've never played football, lNfIilt said. But you can. Look at your size. blilt was big for his age. He stood six feet tall. He was fairly heavy. His shoulders were broad and muscular. He could run like a deer and he had a quick, active mind. He possessed all of the qualities of a good football player. l'll try it, said lylilt, simply. The following clay he reported for practice. The coach started the recruits out by having them learn to fall on the ball. Nlilt, to his surprise, did as well as any of the fellows. After an hourls hard work and a run around the field the coach dismissed them. 'Ll can't work you fellows too hard today, he said, tomorrow you wouldn't be able to move. You are starting all right, Dale, keep up the work. blilt was the proud possessor of a pair of bruised hips and skinned elbows. He was sore and stiff, but happy. Football was new to him, but he liked it. For a week the candidates worked hard. Then came a cut in the squad. Enough for two teams was kept by the coach. Milt was on the second team as left half back. But he would soon be in the first team. The coach had a way of driving his men. And this made hflilt work. He kept going up until the night before the first game he was substitute left half for the first team. The day of the game came. ln the afternoon the team departed for Shirley-five miles distant from the city. blilt was with them. Ready Shirley! Ready lyfilton ll' the refereels whistle blew. Shir- ley's line of players advanced and her fullback kicked off. The ball dropped into the hands of a lVlilton end. He fumbled the hall, recov- ered it and started back down the Held. He ran the ball back twenty yards. That was a good start and the team started in with a will. They H CK THIS COMMENT 85 soon lost the ball on a fumble, and lNIilt, on the side lines, hoped his time to go in would soon come. The enemy fought her way toward the goal. On the forty-yard line a try at a drop kick was successful and the Shirley team was three points to the good. On the kickoff Milton returned the ball ten yards. Then she started pounding down the field. The quarter back snapped off his signals, called play after play and the ball advanced slowly. 1-4-8-5-6-7-3-2-I, the quarter called. lt was left half around right end. VVills took the ball and rounded the end outside of his interference. The play looked successful. It was successful, but- nol Shirley's right end was playing out: he made a dive at Wills, missed the runner's legs but caught his toe and threw him heavily. VVills lit on his arm. He cried out in pain and arose to his feet. His left arm hung limp. It was broken. He had twisted it under him in his fall. Dale, called the coach, Go in for VVills. He has broken his arm. Drive down the field, Dale. Show some fight. VVC got to have a touchdown. Milt took his place in the lineup. H1-2-3-5-6-7-3-2-I, the quarter snapped out his signals and Ed- wards, the fullback, drove through the line inside of tackle and gained five yards. Two yards, five, ten, fifteen. The ball went down the Held in the hands of the Nlilton team. The thirty-yard line was passed. The twenty, the fifteen, the ten. The ball was now on the eight-yard line. Nlilt Dale jumped to his position. The quarter was calling his signal, 1-4-8-5-6-7-3-2-I. He caughtthe ball on a direct pass from center and drew back his arm as if to pass to an uncovered man. The Play was successful. His action drew the defense to the left side of the line. Then, taking the ball in his arm, Nlilt dashed around right end. The enemy saw the ruse too late. They threw themselves at Dale, but he was a Whirlwind, and tore on through them. The goal posts loomed over his head. He felt a grip on his leg. He shook it off. Another hand gripped him, pulled him down. He put all his eliort in the re- maining drive, and when he fell he thrust the ball forward, then all was darkness. VVhen Milt woke up he was conscious of a pain in his head. Was the ball over? he muttered. L'Sure, Milt. It was over a foot, replied his team mates. Some- body stepped on your head, though and you went under. The game,s over and we won 7to 3. Youlre sure of your position now, Nlilt. Your head saved the day, even if it did get stepped on. That fake S6 THE COMMENT . pass threw them off their guard. Letls go home, Milt, the cars are readyf' Milt felt happy that night as he told his folks of the game. And Nlonday at practice he received his promotion as a regular on the first team. In the summer lVIilt took his chums and they left for the Maine woods. Here the city boys were as lost as lVIilt had been on his first day in the city. But allls well that ends well, and in the end Milt was thorougrly citified, and his chums knew the woods. WILLIAM TRACY, ,23. BEAUTY ATTAINED-THE POWDER PUFF I am the most treasured possession in my lady's handbag. I am small and cute and dainty and expensive. A hundred different odors stifle my breath. I do not like some of the smelly, fine powders my mistress puts me in contact with. I like f'Djer Kiss. He is so de- lightfully French, as the advertisers say. I do not like Azurea. He isnlt foreign at all, but puts on French airs and is so disgusting l simply will not have anything to do with him, so l bustle up and shine my lady's little White nose when she uses Azure,', and she says, I never will use that horrid powder again. Nly nose is a fright. I live in a fancy silk rosette-shaped thing, all perfumed and frilly, and When I get inside all smeared up with a fresh coat of powder, my ladyls friend says Hwhat a darling vanity bag! The vanity bag isn't altogether likable though. She came from a little art store in New York and claims to have come from France, and pretends acquaint- ance with all of the foreign cosmetics. I got tired of hearing her egotistical line, so one day when my lady was walking with a gentleman friend, I jumped out of the pink bag and hid behind a rose bush. lVly mistress missed meg such confusion I must have caused her. The lip stick said she almost frightened Mr. King to death. She exclaimed. I knew I would do it. I should be more careful. What has become of it?', and lVIr.- thought she had lost her diamond necklace or her sapphire ear rings, and when he found what she was making a fuss over, he almost got disgusted. You might think I was punished when I was found, but I wasn't. She just exclaimed, l've found it, Jack! and nestled me close to her nose. I-IIELEN KoLLiv1YI2R, '23. THE COMMENT 87 SPRING SYMPHGNY The sun sank low behind the hill The beauty of it gave a thrill. Along a breezy river road Whe1'e the waters gaily flowed, A brand new car just spun alongg The maiden in it trilled a song. The handsome fellow by her side Paid strict attention to his guide. Then suddenly a sound so sweet Seemed their willing ears to greetg The quickness of it made them jump, The car most ran into a dump. The words he said were most endearingg She repeated some quite cheering. Did you ever feel devout, VVhen a nasty tire blew out? VVILMA HANcock, '2l. A REFORMER RILFORMED Nlarjorie was in the kitchen. XVith nervous lingers she was pra- paring Norman's coffee. This was the maid's night off. How long she had waited for this night. Stealthily looking around, she drew from her pocket the powder, warranted to kill and leave no traceui carefully she pulled the stopper and started to pour the contents of the vial into Norman's cup-she hesitated. No! She could not go through with it without betraying herself. VVhat if he should know, as he lifted the potion to his lips? But she must do it if she were ever to have any peace. Nerving herself, she quickly poured the contents of the vial into the cup and watched it slowly dissolve. Putting the cups on the table, she went back to the kitchen to calm herself. Together they sat down and drank. She gazed inquiringly into his eyes, but could detect no suspicion. They were only tenderly reminis- vent. . I changed the cups like we used to do, dear, he said. Quickly she staggered to her feet and rushed out into the hall to lean against the door. To think she had drank an entire demi-tasse of coffee containing a whole vial full of powder guaranteed to 'lKill the tobacco habit in twenty-four hours and leave no trace. CECIL FULLER, '23.

No new theory or improved idea is being advanced when the oft- repeated statement is made that education is the cornerstone of civ- ilization. Educate the coming generation in all the studies of the high school curricula, in religion, in morals, in everything that goes to make the ideal citizen. These are the words you hear from the foremost men of the country. These words are not statements made on the spur of the moment, but have been carefully weighed and found to be unquestionably true by men, who, in plain American slang, know their stuff Practically everybody agrees with the foregoing state- ments, but when it comes to putting them into action, in other words, providing adequate facilities for educating the future citizen properly, far too many voters, instead of looking into the future, look only into their pocketbooks. To drop generalities and get down to concrete facts, Keokuk needs enlarged and improved facilities for high school education. Twice the citizens have voted down a proposition for a new high school. This shows the situation to be such as to demand a different viewpoint. The only way to bring about this different viewpoint is to present the voters with actual facts in regard to the present building. If these facts do not convince, let the people come and view for themselves. Not one room in the building is heated or ventilated in the proper manner. Dr. Fuller made the statement from the assembly room platform that, due to the overcrowding of the assembly room, the air he was breathing was poisonous. This may sound exaggerated, but ask the high school pupils. You enter a room in winter where the air is suffocating, open the windows and endure the cold, close them and the air is as bad as ever in half an hour. Any doctor will tell you that this condition- this continual change-in temperature throughout the day is bound to affect the health of a pupil, if not so that it is noticeable, at least so that his studying ability is impaired. The building itself is in a very poor condition, the roof sags and has to be braced, the stairs do not safely hold half the number that use them many times a day: in fact, it is so bad that, as one inspector put it, If the building were in a larger city it would be closed in Eve days. The school cannot be ex- pected to turn out high-class men and women with the crowded condi- 90 THE COMMENT tions and poor equipment they now have-no more than a cabinet- maker can turn out a high-class product with a hammer and saw. VVhen the proposition for a new high school is put to vote again, and it will be for a less amount, as bricks have been greatly reduced, whether it carries or not will depend on the present high school stu- dents. Beginning now, they should indicate by their actions that they are well fitted to take care of a new building and should talk of the need of one until they are blue in the fare. They are the ones that by their interest and feeling should carry th issue before them. Although the students are the main factors, nevertheless we need the aid of the Alumni, and need it badly. So, Alumni, read this carc- fully, think of your past school life, and work for the new building in every way possible. CARROLL N14:LsoN, y21. l FRIDAY MORNING ASSEMBLY The past year Keokuk High School has been privileged to enjoy a program each Friday morning in the assembly. We assemble ten minutes earlier in order not to lose too much time from our Che- loved?j studies. hlembers of the Dramatic Club preside and many excellent programs have been given. VVe have been addressed by prominent men who are interested in K. H. S. and what K. H. S. is interested in. Among these Judge Wade and Dr. Fuller gave very in- teresting talks. The Seniors and Freshmen each put forward a pro- gram. Much credit is due to Keo Hi for humorous and dramatic readings. Also several clever little farces were put on, among them Washington's First Defeatf' The important athletic news is an- nounced and we cheer until we are hoarse, without half expressing our appreciation which the teams, both football and basketball, have accomplished in putting Keokuk on the map. A grammar school pupil once asked me, What do you find to yell about and work up such enthusiasm over there?'l Really, I can't ex- plain that. Call it honor, or call it loyalty, but there is a feeling in every boy's or girl,s heart of wanting K. H. S. to succeed in every enterprise, and there is a determination to help do it. And so we feel that these sessions give us something along with the enjoyment we get, something that an extra half hour or so of school wouldnit give us, a feeling that we belong to this institution and are a part of it and we can make it what we will.
