CHIEF KEOKUK MONUMENT This preat bronze monument was ereeled in memory of Chief Keokuk, a ehief of the Sae-Fox federation, from whom our city received its name. He was born near Kock River, Illinois. During the war of 1812 me was spokesman for a Sac tribe. In 18.;2 his efforts prevented the tribe from uniting with Black Hawk in tak- ing up arms against the United States. He was one of a party which went to Wash- ington in order to arrange a peace treaty between his tribe and the Siou.x. In 184. ' i he was poisoned by a member of the Black Hawk tribe. VIEW IN RAND PARK This is one of the many pretty scenes which may be viewed in Rand Park. The driveways are always kept in good condition ; the flower gardens are always kept in perfect order; the grass is kept clipped and beautiful, and everything is done that wlil keep this beauty sppt a thing Keokuk may be proud of. THE CANNON AND ANSCHUTZ ROAD— RIVER VIEW The two cannons which have been placed at the entrance to Rand Park are very interesting. They seem to coniand the approach to Keokuk from that direction. These cannons are relics of the Civil War. From one of the cannon may be seen the wonderful old Anschutz Road, a drive bordered by large trees which seemingly cast a spell ovei- everything. From here, also, may be seen a view of the Mississippi which may not be surpassed anywhere along its course. THE MIDDLE LOCK The old middle lock, which is shown in the picture, was one of a series of three such locks which were used to lift the boats over the rapids. They were connected by a canal. The building of the dam at Keokuk made the locks unnecessary, and they were done away with. These locks were favorite haunts of picnickei ' s. THE NEW LOCK The new lock, which has taken the place of the old ones. It is lai ' ser in many respects than any other in the world. When a boat is to be taken throufrh, the (rate is opened and the boat is allowed to enter. The gate is closed behind it and the water in the lock is raised or lowered, dependiiiK on the direction in which the boat is going. When the watei ' inside the lock is on a level with that on the outside, the other gate is opened and the boat passes on through. DRIVE TO DES MOINES RIVER BRIDGE This road ciiiiiu ' tts Keokuk with the Des Moines River bridge, and is as pretty a drive as can be found any- where. The road is lined on each side by immense Cottonwood trees, and is a favorite drive for autoists. L_ THE DES MOINES RIVER BRIDGE This bridge is situated about a mile south of Keokuk, at the mouth of the Des River. It is a link between Missouri and Iowa; is used to a great extent, especially as a means of conveying agricultural jiroduce from Missouri into Iowa. THE CURTIS MONUMENT Samuel Ryan Curtis was born in 1803. He attended West Point in 182G. He was a colonel in the Mexi- can War, was Mayor of Keokuk, a member of Congress, and Colonel of the second Iowa infantry. In 1861 he was made Brijjadier General, and was advanced to Major General in 1862. His death occurred in 18(i(i. Keokuk is honored in possesing this •memorial to him. NATIONAL CEMETERY Keokuk is honored in having one of the National ( emeteries. Here are the graves of veterans from the Civil War, Spanish American War and the World War.

I liked your school so well before, I just came back to learn sor .e more. DOLLIE JOHNSON Everyone says I ' m awfully slow, But I do everything just so. Far better one thing finished, boy far.

GAYLORD SHILLING Gay says, I like the girls. And with them like to step, I like them to be pretty And also full of pep. CLARE WEBER We cannot blame you for falling for Clare, For not many girls with her can com- pare. Out on the street she ' s often seen. Driving with ease her big machine. ALICE WEBER Around my locker the boys draw near, For some of my gay chater to hear; But I just kid them all along, I don ' t think that ' s very wrong. CLARENCE SKOG I ' ve heard that Clarence ' public speaks ' , I believe he ' s done it many weeks. He is a very likeable chap. And he covers a good size place on the map. DOROTHY WRIGHT I look kind of grouchy in the hall. But when I ' m with ' him ' I ' m not at all; his high school holds no charms for me, He comes from Montrose, don ' t you ■| II IC (■ () M M K X T FLORENCE WITTICH I haven ' t got frat pins; I haven ' t men ; But I have got some brains, nd I make use cf them. WILMA WESCOTT People say I ' m cute as can be 1 m clever and bright as any you see I trip to the dances with various men: 1 have no real choice — just any of them. HAZEL WASHBURN Hazel here will leave us now, Her best of questions, ' why ' and ' how ' ' ' In shorthand she is sure a whizz, Why — becanse she tends to bizz. RALPH TELLER There is a saying short but sweet We l now he is short and think he is sweet. He comes a long, long wav to school. And he studies mighy hard as a rule. EDWARD VATH I ' m such a bashful ( ? ) boy. Around the girls I blu.sli and stutter, But when it comes to basket ball I alway.s set their hearts a-flutter. HELEN YOUNT ■ ' They say I make too much noise For such a little girlie; But don ' t you see I like the boys And win them with my hair so curly. LLOYD WILLIAMS I am quite an accomplished lad, I take up whatever ' .s the fad; When it comes to debating I have a high rating. And at the banjo I ' m not half bad. •26 T H E C ( ) M M E N T CLASS SONG MUSIC B - FLORENCE W ' lTTICH WORDS BY MARCiARF.TT PRASSE . To K. H. S. we bid farewell, And our teachers here, The actual joys must now fade Replaced by memories dear. 3. Our Alma Mater gave to us Knowledge which we sought, May our achievements bring her Reward for what she taught. 2. We ' s heard oftimes that Life ' s com- plex With its problems deep. But we shall face it bravely. And overcome them all. 4. She gave to us ambitions high A goal to attain; May the laurels which we reap Bring honor to her name Chorus. Cheer your Alma Mater! Give to her your praise! Let her teachings and ideals Guide you all your days. T II E C O M M E N T HISTORY Schciol is nut anil the cxainiiiations that nican the einl (it uur iii.u ' li schiMil curriculum arc n ' cr. I ' ciur years have passed since (lur class 1ic.i;an to slu(l - the Latin, Al clira, and llistory that seemed such an endless task. I ' .ut onl - tiKi (|uickly has it lieeii, fur we fuund opportunities between the studies to have many jood times tot ether. On Se]Jteml)er ist. U) X. (jur class of 98 members entered Keokuk IIi.L, di as Freshmen. It can hardly be said that we resembled the niajorit - of fresh- men classes: because, except for a sliL ht difference in size, the occasiiMial ajjearance in a wroni;- class room, and the feeliuLj of self conscioiisnes.s every one experiences in the first assembly of the year, wi- were ' not cons])icuouslv different from the upper classmen. riie ujiper classmen had sacrificed all social . -atheriuLCs diu ' im; the war and as they had not yet returned to the habit of haviuf the customary num- ber of outside pleasures, we fell in line w ith the rest and sacrificed ours. In the Freshman and Sophomore years all our energ-y was exercised on studies and supporting ' scholastic activities — footltall, basket ball, and declamator - contests. The first and second years that we were in high school were interruijted by unexpected vacations. Frist the I ' du compelled the authorities to lock the doors to us; and, in t he second year, the coal shortage made it necessary to close again for a few weeks. When we arrivcfl at our Junior year, we became more assuming, and gradually felt the importance and res])onsil)ility that becomes a jimior class. It was in the early part of this year, i()20- ' 2i, that we organized and select- ed our class colors, silver and blue. The officers elected were: President — Beverly I ickinson. ' ice- President — . delaide Anschutz. Secretary — Calvin Ailing. Treasurer — Ilcnvard Fulton. Later in the year, oitr president received an a]ii)ointmi-nt to . nn;ipolis. We were indeed sorry to lose Beverly from our class, as his pep and loyalty meant nuich to us: but we were ])roud that one of our classiuen should be honored with such an ai)i)ointment. .Adelaide . nschutz filled his place as president, and we elected William Ruddick as our vice-i)resident. .Also, at this titue, we elected Wilma Wescott as assistant treasurer. Howard was so busv with Comiuent work that he needed hel]) in handling our finances, or rather, in handling our Lack of finances, ( )ur first social function was a weiner roast at Price ' s Creek early in the fall. We indulged in a game of hide and seek and in get way if you can _ S THE C () M M r. X T that cvc-nirii;-. All fiiuiul uut that wo rL-ally had a class that cuuld have fun at a weiiKT mast. On De-cuniher 17. 1920, the Juniors and Se iiors had a party at the Ma- sonic building. That evening tlure was a variety of entertainment, the teachers doing their luirt with an old clothes race. Our next social event was a lovely dinner ;xrved t the class by Mr. and Mrs. Denmire on the lawn of their home near Sandusky.. This was on-.- of the i)leasantest affairs our class has knt)wn, and if numbers show apprecia- tion, certainly the number that attended, in itself, would show how much the Denmire ' s invitation was appreciated. On that evening we played games, had races, and did everything to make a general good time. The culminating event of our Junior year was the Junior-Seui )r party at the Country Club on June 5. Dancing and other entertainments were enjoyed. The Juniors worked hard to make this a success and to -how the Seniors that any rivalry that might have existed was forgotten. When we started back to school on September 6, 1921, it seemed hardly posible that it could be the beginning of rur last year. However, as we felt the responsibility of being Seniors, especially under the new arrangement of half-day sessions, we immediately elected off ' cers and selected class col- ors and rings. The following officers were elected; President — Philip Benner. Vice-President — Katherine Winger. Secretary — Genevieve Harter. Treasurer — Crawford Fletcher. On October JO, the class enjoyed its second outing at Denmire ' s. This time it was a weiner roast, which was greatly aided by several pans of pop- corn donated by Mrs. Denmire. In November, the Junicrs and Seni rs had a [)ush ball contest to settle a little c ' ass antagonism. This was the first contest of the kind to be held ill Keokuk and therefore created interest outside of school as well as inside. As for the result — well ,we are leaving that for the Juniors to tell. On Friday, January 13, the Juni rs and Seniors had a very successful party at the Masonic building. Though the date seemed to foretell ill luck, it proved (|uite the opposite. Playlets, readings and musical numbers were given before dancing began. Naturall , refreshments were served before it was a completed party. Mr. Finla}- generously donated ;pace in the Oate City to be used by the high schi;ol students. We t(jok advantag ' e of this offer, and throughout the year have ]jul)lished a weekl} ' Comment. Many of the Seniors were -epresented on the staff of this naper. On all the athletic team?, our class has been well rejjresented and in de- ates and declamatory contests the Seniors have held a prominent place. In spite of all these interruptions, we have leraned many a good lesson T UK CO M M E N T 29 ihat will apply wlu-n wc : vv cmt in the worM willicuit the proU ' Clinn and i uidance of nur teaclu-rs, wIid lia i- hern so ])alicnl and t(irL;ivinL; through all the difficulties.

They say she ' s a regular vamp. Uh. that ' s the girl? 1 rememher now. She used to sell footliall tickets and pencils in high school. What was that you said about .Mrs. Woolley? Who was slu ' before she was married? Oh. }es — Lucy Skituier. The}- have a new car? Is it ])ret- t ? Wdiat colnr? Maroon. What make? Cadillac. Well, that ' s (|Uile a step up from a Ft)rd, isn ' t it? I)id }ou notice the brown section of the (late City yesterday? ' ou di rnl ? Well, ciu certaiuK luissed ;i lot. The front page had a huge pic- ture of Ruth Matless and (, lart ' Weber, who are playing at the (irauii thi.-, week in a drama written by Douglas l.aiuont. Do you reiuember that dance they did in the Minstrels quite a while ag; — several years, in fact? Well, they ' re doing that very sanu- dance now and are creating qui ' ' a sensation. Clara Pflug — you don ' t know her? . ' - lu■ won the Silver Skates Derby Contest at Mooar last ' i ' hiu-sday and had her picture on the second l)age of the same section. I heard that she paid l.averue Kingsbury to publish it, though. Oh. es, he ' s had charge of that section a long time, you know. ou didn ' t? Well, surely -ou know that Margaret I ' rasse is writing tlie jingles in the third s ■ction. Did you notice l- ' riday ' s verse? It was terri- ble — all about love and uiooulight. I sup|)ose she ' s lovesick .XT L.X.S ' l . . i least, the ijoem sounded as if she had it bad. It ' s about tinu-, I sh luld sav, though. es. I know Ruth Crowell is dee]) in lo e. She goes ] ast the house ever - dav with him. jn t leaning (jU his arm and smiling u]) at hini so sweet- ly. N ' . I don ' t know him but his h;iir looks like hemp — it ' s so stringy, and he never wears a hat. . ' he ' the best cook, though. 1 sup])ose she ' s win- nig hiiu through his stomach.

' - kog .goes with him to collect the luoney and t 1 tell him when to stop, lie ' s a wonderful orator, yuu know, although rather 30 THE COMMENT () e lon - vinck-il. I ' m planning on having a dinner party for him. since I knew him in school. No. just a small crowd. You and Mr. Rumor, Agnes Fal- l in and Dorothy Wright, if they hap] en to he in town. They ' re traveling for a Rat I ' .iscuit Company in New York and are so busy it ' s hard to get them to attend any social functions. Maybe, since Charles is their freind, they ' ll make a special effort to come. Then I thought I ' d have Florence Wittich, if she can stop working on that new song she ' s writing long enough to conic. They say it ' s going to be as popular as Blowing Bubbles and lots raggier. Maybe Floyd Griffith and Wallace Ayres will come. If they d the party will be com])lete. What is Floyd doing, do you know? He is — ngineering in Asia — yes, I know he ' s very famous. Then I can ' t have him, I suppose. Wallace has just completed his Histciry of . merica. so I guess I can depend on him. He got his style frum Muzzey and Channing. Who? Fred Calhoun? Yes — yes — that would be good. Have him give a little speech telling about what Charles has done for the Boy Scouts. He knows all about the Scouts from what Charles told ni Public iSpeaking in high school, and he ' s such a popular orator. Thanks for the suggestion. Of course. I ' ll have Charles ' sister Lorena, for she ' s g iing to help me ])lan the dinner and the decorations. She ' s making $20 a day doing just that, but she ' s well wnrtli it. She has a wonderful mind, and Miss Roe helped develop it. Have you done your house-cleaning yet? I haven ' t either — I think its too cold, but I ' m going to have Leo Kesselring and Verl Shappach over to clean the chinmey tomorrow. They ' re wonderful at it. They have a sys- tem so that the - can clean chimneys in dress suits and white gloves and not even soil their gloves. Prof. Henry Barnes has lost out completely. I ' ve had the worst toothache all day. I ' ll have to go to the dentist, I ' m afraid. Whom do you think is the best? Dv. .VUen? Aubrey? Oh, yes, I have been reading quite a bit about his wonderful method of extracting teeth. I ' ll go to him tomorrow. Have von luard that Philip Pienner — Benner — I ' resident of the Hair Net C ni])anv, has a new model? Yes, Alberta Grout. .She just wears the Ben- ner Nets and tells i)eople s). and draws $100 a week. Beulah Anderson has been his model for abt)Ut two years, but business is so good that Pihl can afford two models now. Don ' t you dare l)reathe a word of this, but 1 hear that Genevieve Harter, his stenographer, really runs the concern Ijecause he always follows her suggestions. He always has since they were in high school together. Whom are } ou going to vote for at the election? 1 think I ' ll vote for Marguerite Lagerpusch. although Crawfor l I ' letcher would make a good mayor. Marguerite gave the best talk at the C ' -)urt house last night. Craw- ford was ill and couldn ' t come. Margvierite was so good as Police Matron, 1 think we should support her, don ' t you — especially the women? Do von know that Adelaide Anschutz has been doing all those clever THE CO M -M I ' ' . X I ' 31 sketches for the I ' ehecco ' I ' ooth Paste C ' uui])any and Irene Laws lias hi ' en posing for them? I (hthi ' l either until vesterdav. and vmi know Wingers are on the same line with me and the ' talk continualU ' . I ne er get t(j use the line — well, sinc e Katherine and Alice Weber have leturned from New iirk where they visited Helen ' ()unt. She ' s lesigning for the Elite. v(ju kni.w, and Edward ath helps her a int. lie ' s working in New York, too. and he takes her to dinners, parlies and operas just to rest her mind. Kind of him. isn ' t it? Wei, since they ' ve got liack. I h.aven ' t been able to talk over the phone at all. The other day 1 took up the receiver and. as usual, Katherine was talking to Alice about that lieaiitv I ' arlor thev ' re going to start in Alexandria. 1 didn ' t intentionalh ' eavesdrop, you know, but I just couldn ' t help hearing what they said, and they said — don ' t repeat this — that the}- thought they would try to get Adelaide to advertise for them since she ' s done so well for the Pebecco Comjiany. Then they started talking about what a wonderful movie actor Bill Ruddick is and how they just adore him, and I hung up. He really is. though, don ' t _ ' ou think? They have? Ernest Farrell and who? Lawrence Denmire — a system , ' ' o they can raise crops in the bcjttoms in spite of the spring floods? That ' s clever, all right. No. I won ' t tell if he t(jld your hu b;ind confidentiallv. 1 never was one to repeat anything told me. He is? — lietween here and Sandusky? LLjw much does he charge? — a (juarter? Lias he a truck or just a passenger car? Neither? . L ' ord — 1 see. Well. Gavlord was always good at driving a car only s slow. He never would go over fifteen miles an hour. Lie was a motorman on the street car. wasn ' t he? Who took his place? LIdna Pearson? Yes, she ' s steady — not nervous, vou know. She ' s just suited for that type of work. Mrs. Hearsay was over the other day and told me all she knew. She does nothing but talk about people. I hate anyone like that, don ' t you? W ell, she said — don ' t rejieat this — that C alvin Ailing has at last found his dream girl — blue eyes and all. You know he ' s been Receiving ' Leiler in a bank in Chicago and once his ideal ' ' just walked in and tliey met and 1 sujjpose they ' ll be married soon. She ' s just been d(jwn to Harry Gram ' s P.ook .Store and noticed in the window a book. The How, Where and Why of .Makeu]), by ' cra Philp. She told me. too, that Mimiie ()])stelten is going to go on another tour to California next l- ' riday. She drives through four times a year, you know, and takes passengers. They say her prices are simply exorbitant. I ' ve heard, too that all the farmers have to kt-c-p their cows safely tied. Hid you notice that Wilma Wescott and Marie LiiKpiist are on a Lyceum Course? I heard that the other day. Wilma gives demonstrations of (ireek dancing and Marie accompanies her and ]ilays solos. . ll the men attend the performances. Ed Koch is advance agent, but he isn ' t very far in ad- vance when he thinks Marie may be in on the next train. No, 1 haven ' t seen the new high scIkjoI, but it ' s aliout time thev ' re getting 32 T H E C O M M E N T one. Thcv have (|uite a few new teachers, haven ' t they? Oh, yes, Flcssie Teller is assistant to Miss Roe. Alwilda i:)e Jong is teaching Physical Train- ing to the Seniors and Juniors, and Luretta Harmon to the Sophomores and Freshmen. LeRoss Morris is Physical Director for the boys, and 1 hear that some of the boys at school are failing just td take gym from him. Do you believe that? I nearly forgot the most important thing of all. Helen Lewis and Edna Quick were around selling perfume for the Huxley Perfume Cotupany — yes, Lorene Huxley. They ' re very convincing talkers since taking Public Speak- ing and Salesmanship in K. H. S. They said that Hildegarde Stroegter left Tuesday to be a Dean in a girls ' school in Wisconsin. Wouldn ' t that be a nice occupation? Who? Elnia Fowler, a lawyer? She always was so talkative the teachers had an awful time keeping her still. In what case? The Wash- burn Cold Cream Company versus the Meister Lumljer Company? Verda Meister? Well, we furnished her with pletny of dead wood in her short- hand class at school. I heard that Howard Fulton has at last attained his highest ambition. He ' s tax collector — yes, he always has collected money for something or other. I think I ' ll go over to the new fortmie teller tomorrow. . lta N ' inson ' s her name. Dolly Johnson is her assistant and she gets the spirits working by rolling her eyes. She always has done that to advantage, you know. No, 1 haven ' t much faith in fortune tellers generally, but .-llta has Ijeen studying quite awhile, and she told Anna Tigue that in a few days she wotdd receive unexjiected wealth, and sure enough, a few days later an old man heard hj- laugh and admired it so much that now he pays her $500 a month just to keep him in good humor. She told Raymond Jeffers to beware of a certain dark-haired woman named Lucille — you know Lucille Paterson, his stenographer, and just as she said, Lucille left him witlmut a wt)rd ' s iotice the very next da} ' . .She ' s work- ing for Orbra Appleton in his new Music . ' sture now. She ' s wild about her work, they say. I heard yesterday that Gladys P eizer and Dorothy Hartley broke all rec- ords in speed in shorthand last Wednesday. They ' ve been attending Gregg School, }-ou know. . nd Rachel Casey made a record of 200 words a min- ute on the tyjiewriter. She used to fit beside me at school and she had more patience than anyone I ever saw. Who — Christine John? Yes. she has a lot of ])atience, too. I just can ' t get over the way she jumped from elevator girl to owner of the Stav-A- While Hotel. She just had persistence, that ' s all. No, I haven ' t seen Doris Crooks for a long time — not since she finished that poem, To a Dead Mouse, and then she was with those two kind kin- dergarten teachers — ah — Erma Scott and Mabel K rich el. The)- just came THE (■ O M M F. X T 33 out of Kapi s Ice Cream I ' arldr and were headed (i ' er twnard The Teller Information Bureau. Isn ' t it wonderful the way he can ,t,nve advice from his owen experience? Oh, Galdys Boyd assists him? I didn ' t know that. No wonder everyone goes there when in trouble. What — what was that — Central? Did she say to please hang up? Well, isn ' t that nerve? It ' s just as I said — 1 never get to use the line. Well, call nie up sometnnies and tell nie the latest news ; all right — good-bye. EIDA BL. ' VISDELL.

Charles R uss ' popularity with the ladies we do will to Charles .Xbell. His mother refuses to permit him to notice the girls until he is twenty. The boys who are planning their bachelor careers will need the knowl- ■34 THE CO M M E N T edge of sewing- which Rachel Christine John and Ghxdys Boyd have acquired. This we leave to aid your success. The bold and pushing dispositions of Harry Grams and Ernest Farrel we will to the students dismissed at noon to make sure no one wdl miss that helping shove which aids one in a hasty exit. We will Aha Vinson ' s discreetness and ladylike behavior to Edna Thomas.

The short feminine steps which LeRoss Morris alone exhibits we be- queath to Joe Fisk, who is going to hurt someone if he doesn ' t watch his step. Hildegarde Stroeker ' s short and distinguished name we will to Alfred Van Paiipelendam. His name is SO common, we need some means of dis- tinguishing him.

Doris Crook ' s and Rachael Casey ' s ojitimistic dispositions we do will to those who are inclined to look on the dark side of life after the arrival of report cards.

The pedagogical dispositions of Mabel Krichel. Erma Scott, Irene Laws and Marguerette Legerpusch we will to the next Normal Training Graduates, hoping that their fututres will be as promising.

The fondness for Miss Roberts that Minnie Opstenton and Edna Pearson have, we Ijecjueath to the students considering the Commercial Course. Wilma Wescott ' s hair, which was recently shorn, we will to the flag pole, so the playful boys may swing with less fear of a weak rope. ' erl .Shappach ' s big innocent eyes we will to Louie C)dell. who is becom- ing alti gether too wild lately. We will and bequeath the stick-to-it-iveness of Beulah Anderson, Dorothy Wright, Alberta Grout, Maze! Washburn and ' erda Meister to the plaster in the ceiling of the assembly room, with the hope it will not fail to serve its pur])ose as it once did. Alwilda De Yong ' s dimpel (in the chin) we will to P ud Brown. Wallace Ayres ' brilliant coloring we will to Frank Lake. He has tried every brand but still he is pale. THE COMMENT 35 Howard Fulton ' s loud, husky voice wc will and lie(|ucatli lu Lduisa Pxidc Ici aid her in making- herself heard. We will Douglas Lanmnt ' s gtiod looks to DesK- Lewis. Poor how he is SO homely! We do bequeath Lucille Patterson ' s and Holly Johnson ' s tendency to- ward argumentation to Truth Lamont. wlu) cahnly says, How can any- one have an opinion? Idoyd Williams ' knack at recitint;- histors- and amusing the class at the same time we bequeath to Tommy Joyce, that the less studious ones will not find history too dull.

Raymond Jeffers ' ,abilit - to guess EXACTL ' when to be absent we will to Robert McLutchean. Pob worries weeks ahead of every test and sel- dom misses one. The hobby Florence Wittich has acquired ff)r bicycle riding we will to Toots Deloho} ' de. so he won ' t have to mojie around home so much.

Elma Powder ' s various attemjjts to attract the attention of the bovs we do will to Vida La ALaster.

She will have- less time to lrc-ss her hair in her senior year. The skill Palph Teller has acquired for passing notes for others without being seen w i- nm--t w ill to the aisles of ever}- room imtil an individual wire- les sis installed on every desk.

Leo Kesselring ' s pep and ambition we do bequeath unto Ted Aldrich to apply outside of school. Ted works so hard in school he is a physical wreck, and has no desire for excitement during his leisure time. The desirable qualities of Edna Quick, ilargaret Prasse and Flossie Teller we leave to the girls in the lower classes, as we feel they will be to their advantage. Crawford Fletcher ' s guarantee that one can fall from the rafters in the dance pavilion of the Country Club and merely break a wrist we will to the member of the decorating committee, who are inclined to get a trifle dizzy while decorating for this year ' s Prom. Katherin W ' inger ' s popularity with her class we will to any ambitious Junior. Fred Calhoun ' s athletic figure we will to Bob Parcells. who is going to try out for athletics next year.

It seems the entire chi s was an attractive lot in their diinger davs. I ' roni the above group, all of whom share e(|ual honors, observe that oiu ' petite lit- tle ' Bill ' Wescott ' s skirts are jtist a trifle longer than we have ever clianced to see them, but of course I ' lill is getting to lie a big girl now. Douglas Laniont is another of those wee little babies in long clothes who iias decid- ed Xo look worried; while W-rda Meister favors ns with a toothless smile. Looks as though ' erda might ha e alwa s had an amiable disposition. Just to jirove that . ' senior boys were kid.i ju t like any other kids, observe the health - photograph we have of Calvin . lling. wearing overalls and dis])lay- ing bare feet. We ho])e yoii reco.gnize little Lucy Skinner ])osin.g very oblig- ingly holding a ruliber ball. Katherine Winger ' s ])hoto jtroves that she was ever a demure and dainty little maiden. It seems that Adelaide Anschutz got just about an thing she wanted: at any rate, she ' s having fun with some- body ' s gold watch. We wonder what sort of a tick it is that disturljs Ade- laide ' s hn-ely features thusly. The girls will recognize Wally . yre.s ' fasci- nating smile. erl Shappach thinks jiicture-taking a humbu.g and is dccicl- 1 - bored. It was Ghuhs Helzer who made drop-stitch h ' se poijuiar.

Durinsj tlie year all comers were tackled and no team made more than two touchdowns as ainst us. The season was successfullv closed hy the defeat of l- t. Madison, 7 to 6. This was considered the best offensive game put up b - the team during the year. Playing the l)est teams in this secticjii. Coach i ' .ail ' s men made a name for themselves by their unusually g(jod defense, although they lacked the jiunch on offense. Very few injuries were sustained and this pr(i es the excellent condition in which the men were kci)t. The season for IQ22 looks more than promising, as we will start our schedule with ])ractically all experienced jilayers. The new conference in which we are associated jiromises to furnish many fast games. We owe most of our success this year to Ccach Bail, who developed a team out of mostly green material. Air. Bail is one of the best coaches we ever had and brought n- through the season with only three defeats. We all hope that he will lie with us next year and we wish him success in turnig out another winning team. For the first time in years, K. il. S. carried a second team through the seascjn. (iames were provided for the seconds and there was many promising players turned out by tliat team. The sec(,iid stpiad furnished excellent scrimmage for the regidars and were loval to the end. P. M. BAIL, Coach 50 THE C O ] I M E N T BRUMBACK, Left End Brummy hit his stride eai ' ly in the season and t:ept it all year. On the defense he was one of the best and when it came to offense he could surely do his part by grabbing passes. He plays next year. ODELL, Halfback (Captain-Elect). Louie will captain the 1922 team. He was a hard hiter on offense; a good man on defense; and was always doing his best. Watch him in the backfield ne.xt year. SCHLOTTER, Fullback. Was a plunging back that was not to be dawned, a man who outpunted all our oponents He was righl there on playing football and we expect him back for 1922. DOUGLAS, Halfback. Was one of our fastest men and a strong man. He played his best games against Centerville and Carthage. THE COMMENT 51 TRACY, Right End. Played his best games against Strong- hurst. Their plays, as well at Madi- son ' s were directed at our ends. Not a one came around R. E. Always in the game woi-king hard. He has another year. BOWERS, Right End. A fast though small man on both of- fense and defense. He was always full of pep and couldn ' t be beaten for making things lively. We lose him. BRYANT, Right Tackle. A fast and furious man who was al- ways in the play. Nappy ' ' never miss- ed a tackle and was a hard hitter on offense. He plays next year. HEINIE, Right Guard. Heinle was a big, fast guard hard lo stop on offense and an asset to the team. He has two years to go — so watch his dust. THE COMMENT GRIFFITH, Center. Althoug-h smaller than any man he was sent against, Griff never let ' em pull it over on him. His hobby was Ijlocking punts. We will miss him also at opening holes. MORRIS, Left Guard. He was a small man but a hard hit- ter and could always be depended upon Ross was right there on breaking- up plays and we will find it hard picking a man for his place. LOUFEK, Center-Guard. Vic ' s long arms and legs made him a hard man to play against. He was always a scrapper and will strengthen our team next year. CALHOUN, Left Tackle. A big fellow with muscle and brawn Cal was fighting all the time and was among our best on both defense and offense. The line will miss his strength next year.

Noiselessly her li|)s moved as she told her heads one hy one. A heautifid ])iclure it made, the handsome i ' irl kneelini, ' ' there in the semi-darkness with the lisi ht frdui the flickering candles ]ilaying upon her face, antl touching her black hair ex- cept where it merged into the shadows behind her. She arose slowly and walked to the grated window. Through the lattice came the sweet fragranc-j of orange blossoms and the spicy odor of m}rtle which covered the old walls. .Above the tres rose the new moon, a thread-like crescent with a single star hanging jiendent from its lowest jioint like a jeweled comb in the hair of night. Down the street could lie heard the receding steps of the night-watch- man, accompanied by the rattle of keys and the creaking of rusty locks as he went his rounds. How quiet and restful it was! How soothing the spirit! Hut I ' aquita was not rested ; neither were her nerves cpiieted nor her spirit soothed. Her whole being rebelled at her lot. Why should she not have the companion- ship of young people and talk with them in the Plaza? Listen! In the dis- tance could be heard the clicking t)f castinetts and the strains of livel ' nutsic mingled with shouts of laughter. Happy laughter from ha])p ' hearts, and young voices singing. The words floated faintly to her on the breeze: C ' uando las campinillas Tocara las ocho Alia vendran bonitos Danzar el P)olero Danzar el Bolero — o — o W ' hv could she not be with them dancing the Polem? Indeed, why yhiiuldn ' t she? Kverv one was asleep and the servants were all out. ' ho was there to stop her? The fact was — no one. Just a few blocks and she would 1)6 with them . It was her right — the right of youth. Pa |uita scon found herself speeding along the high-walled street, her heart keeping time to her luirrxing footsteps. Turning the corner she caiue upon a scene of light and gayety. Picturesque Caballeras with their .Senor- itas were dancing in the center of the Plaza. Lovers strolled here and there among the trees: jircnid old Duenos gossiped on the outskirts of the crowd; and old men live l again the luntrs of their jirime. I ' acjuita felt more lonely here than she had in her bedrom. and shrinking back in the shado s she tried to make herself as inconspicuous as possible. ISut a pretty senora like Pa |uita could not long escape detection. La Iota. Lajota, to dance the Lajota. shouted the crier, and the music swiftiv changed into the well known measures. Pa([uita was watching the couples and lines forming when she suddenly felt herself caught in a jiair of bo T 11 E C O Al AI K : T strong arms and gail} ' carried iu ard the center. Lilancing up. she found her- self looking straight intti a pair of laughing brown e}-es. Her heart careen- ed madly toward her mouth, but she smiled bravely back. There ! The} ' were starting. Forward and balance, backward and point, whirling and swaying in the intricate stejjs in which i-nl}- the in(.)st nimble-footed could participate. A great deal of attentiim was directed to- ward r ' atpiita and her jiartner ; and indeed they were a feast for the eyes. She, slight uf form, li.ght as a feather, a veritable personification of }OUth. He, more stately, Init nevertheless lithe and graceful. What a handsome couple they made. At first he watched her with delight which soon turned to ken admiration. Her hair was so dark! Her hands su soft, and where else but on a fairy were such tiny shoes ever seen? Faster and faster went their flying feet until in a grand flourish the dance came to an end, Brova! Bravo! shouted the men wdiile the wcnnen clapped, How glorious. sighed Pac[uita : I have ynu to thank for one of the hap- ])iest evenings I have ever spent. And I, too, he returned animatedly. I must go now for it is late. And Paquita gathered her mantilla aljout her, for the night air seemed cool after the exertion. Shall I take yoti to your Duena? Paquita stood abashed. How could she tell this man that she was there without a chaperone. In fact, had run away from home? Thank you, but 1 can go alone. she answered hesitatingly. But in hes- itating she was lost. She felt his eyes upon her face, jienetrating eyes that seemed to read her inmost thoughts. Where had she seen those eyes before? Suddenly there flashed across her vision the i)icture of an old garden, high- walled and sunny. A small boy, immactdateh- dressed in white, with a red jacket and cap stood talking to a tearful little miss who was very muddy and grimey. 1 shall come back, he was saying, I ' ll come when Pm a big man. Surely it could not be Jilario. but still — . ■-he was called l)ack to reality by a tender jiressure on her arm, and a masterly voice saying, Then I ' ll take you home. Poor Paquita! Her mind was in a muddle, and it was not until he hatl stopped before her own gate that she realized she had failed to tell him where she lived. ' h_ -. how did }-ou know that 1 lived h Paquita, Paquita, he wdiispered tenderly, don ' t _ )U remember? Have } ' ou forgotten that day in the garden? Paquita could not answer, for her mind was playing mental hopscotch, and once more her heart sought shelter in the ui)])er regions. Did she re- memljer? Did she! He was. yes, surely, he was Jilario! None other than Jilario, and he was saymg — 1 have come back — a man!

X T MOVIE STRUCK A small g-irl, a very gaunt little heap of thin legs and thin arms, sat haunchecl on an unmade feather bed and gazed soulfully. wistfully into a large hand mirror. With a heav}- quivering sigh, Penelope thrust the mir- ror into the soft creases of the untidy feather bed, Not a one gone ; not one. I ' ve just tried everything and nothing works. It was the big brown freckles Penelope spoke of in such melancholv tones. Indeed, she had tried the last recommended pre]iaration in Aunt Julia ' s Home Remedy Book — vin- egar, buttermilk and rain water and they not only remained, the whole four hundred and fifty of tht-m. l)ut even looked much darker and bigger than be- fore she had washed her face carefully with the mixture — the night before. I don ' t believe God wants me to l)e beautiful, she avouched after propping the kitchen mirror against the bed post and hulding the other so that she obtained a perfect view of her profile. Nose turns up — lips as thick as a New Zealander ' s — chin sawed off — eyes — well, they ' re not so bad. Grand- ma said they ' re nice big eyes even if they are green. Any way. I guess eyes don ' t show up much in pictures, if only I could keep my nose down! She placed a bony little forefinger on the up-turned tip of a funny little nt)se and held it down firmly. Fine, if it would only stay on all night, I believe it wouldn ' t take long to make it straight. Here I ' enelope sprawled out on the bed and reaching vmder her pillow, produced a contrivance made of bent hair jiins. ruliber bands and tape. Carefully and painstakingly she arranged the nose-shaper of her own design and construction on the obsti- nate little pug. There now, feels fine. If only it would stay ini, but no, my dreams make me so fidgety at night ! ' Penelope, do yon know anything about my mirror? The door opened quickly and Jane, Penelope ' s big sister, burst in. What on earth are you doing, child? What is that big thing on your face? Give me my mirror. Penelope very jjromptly handed the big ivory handled mirror to its own- er and proceeded c;;nfusedly to remove the very c )mplicatedly constructed nose moulder. It ' s for my nose, she said, tumbling out of bed and push- ing it into the bureau drawer. 1 want a nose like Marguerite Larke. A nose like Marguerite Larke ! Good land. Pen, haven ' t you gotten over that stuff yet. Don ' t be s ) silly. You ' re always making up in your room like an old woman. Wh - don ' t vnu gn out and roller skate? Marion ' s out — 1 don ' t feel like it ; 1 don ' t care about it nnich an)- way, she rejected as Jane hurried back to her room. After she had gone Penelope closed the dcor and crawled back upon the bed and dragged out from under the feather mattress a large grimy envelope, much worn and handled. She paused a moment and gazed lovingly at the address, which was written in a hasty, sprawled hand. Her own hand-writing — my name — she wrote my name. Then, after this fond reflection she verv tenderlv removed the contents of r II !•: I. n M M I ' ' , x r 63 the envelope — a pnifilc jiictiiru of Marguerite Larke, the motion jiit-turc actress, aiitograiilu ' il.

A round had been made of the usual topics of conversation and Penelo|)c felt that, as usual, sinne one woidd soon lie asking hi ' r a lot of questions which always made here very miseralile to answer; such as, how she was getting on with geograijhy, or how her lieau was, or if her new- shoes still hurt her leet. I he folks al a s did th.at wa . I ' rcscntK it was Aunt Cirace who made the er hitingest remark about l ' enelo]je — a right down mean thing t(j say at a dinner table. Well, Penelope, you ' re getting to be (.(uite a oung lady. Whom does she look like, jidia? lint, ni) ' gra- cious, child, where did you get all the freckles? Don ' t you ever wear a hat? Your teeth are coming in all right, arn ' t they? 1 was afraid they ' d be crook- ed — the other ' s f.airly pushed thi-m out. Penelope ' s fork clanked to her plate.

A purr t)f amusement encircled the table, doodness, yes, e- clainie l jane. Penelope felt a hot suffocation and her freckles seemed to stand out on her face like beads, her nose to be turning right up before her very eves. 1 wish you could have seen the cihld the other day. I found her in her room trying out a patent device — a nose-shaper ! llou ruthless are big folks who laugh and jest al things which bin n ;i little girl ' s heart and hurt — hurt so !

Not l)e long until she ' s in High School. I ' m not .going to High School, Mother, affirmed I ' encd ]iv coldK. ' A hai? Not going to High School? canu- b;ick Aunt ir;ice in amaze- ment.

Her wide eyes were arrested b ' these words which headed an article; (iirls. Don ' t Leave blome, bv .Marguerite L.arke. 64 THE COMMENT Penelope bent over the magazine in a frenzy. 1 would advise no girl to seek employment as an actress in silent drama unless she has had previous stage experience. Everv day hundreds if girls, some of them pitifully young, are turned away from the studiis in Hollywood, girls who, buoyed with the idea that thev resemble some film star, leave good homes in search of a ca- reer in the nuivies in California. Many of them return, heart broken and weary. Others never return. Girls, there are hundreds of opportunities for the present da - girl — take inv advice and don ' t leave home for the mov- ies ! Penelope re-read the last line and closed the book meditativelv. Eleanor and Jane sauntered out to the porch. ' What are you doing, Penelope? asked jane warily. Nothin ' came a holow voice. That evening r ' enelo])e declined an invitation to go to the movies with Jane and Howard. No, 1 guess not. 1 ought to study a little tonight, was the form of her first refusal to a motion picture show. Penelope and her mother at alone in the big deserted room. Mother, said Penelope in wanting tones. ' Yes? I guess I ' ll go to high school, m ther. It ' s best. 1 believe Ed like to be a school teacher like . unt (Jrace. . nd a little girl sat thinking these lines: Pake niv advice and don ' t leave home for the movies. OLYMPUS-VALHALLA I ' lV thuntlcr! What brt ' cd of man is that? e.xclaimed Mars to Jupiter, as from the ethereal heights of Olympus they eagerly watched the struggles of a silver casqued warrior in the arena. I beleieve he comes from the Kingdom of Wodin. far over to the west, exclaimed Ju])iter to the excited Mars. Aye, but he fights like he comes from the realms of Tartarus. 1 must have him for m_ - contest with Neptune. The warrit)r up. n whom all of this atention was l)eing showered fought like the cornered Ijlack Bear cf Great Britain. His blood-dripping mace flashed here and there, driven deep by those mighty muscles which he had inherited from generations c f hard, clean living in the cold Northland. In a strange country, among foes, he fought as his father and his father ' s father had fought for their home and life. Did the dark-skinned lirutes wish sport? He would show them how a Saxon fought and died. His bright steel axe that had tasted the blood of scores that day, still unwearied, flashed and bit through steel casque and breast plate. Thor! ' od!n ! Awake! Do thus th ' warriors fall friendless and alone? Hurl thy mighty hammer. Thor. Buckle tight thy strength belt and hurl a thimder liolt upon thine enemies. THE C O i I M E N T 65 But the dying- gladiator falls, forgotcii y his gods and hy the race whose honor he had fought to maintain. Spare tlu ' Saxon ! is the frantic cry of the spectators. So, tin- fair- haired Northman is carried to his cpiarters and jjrayers are sent to Jove lieg- ging him to spare the warrior for their sport. But selfish Mars wishes him to replenish his depleted ranks: so he is lifted up to C)l inpus where he will fight with Mars. O ! Romans, save 3our prayers for thy Mars when you hear him moari under the hammer of the rohlied Thor. DOUGLAS LAMONT. 22. THE NIGHT AFTER SEMESTER EXAMS. Two men were scrappily slashing each other with Liutcher knives in a small cement cabin on a raft in uiid-Atlantic. The sun, in the year 1750, shown ferociously down on them. Suddenly the electric lights flashed off. They drew to shore to get a new dynamo. The savage chief refused to jiart with an alternating dynamo, as it was the only direct current developer on that remote island. He left them stranded since he needed it to shock his grain. They stopped long enough to make light of their nn ' sfortune. With a shout of glee they took their morning swim in the dusl . dry Atlantic. A volcano enqited with a shower of ice and snow, which froze the s] arkling dew-drops upon each grain of sand. Their water-logged brains froze into a solid mass of seething nothing- ness. A school of porpoises came floundering into their midst, and the fat schoolmaster reprimanded them for throwing snc)wballs at the water puppies. With a squeal of terror, a catfish doubled and twisted in a vain attempt to elude a barking dogfish. A galloping water horse, with a fl ing mane. step])ed high as he ])ranced down the watery way ' . A monstrous minnow dove into the briii} ' de])ths sending a spray of in- finitesnial drojis of water over Mr. 1 ,a Z. .Senior ' s unsuspecting countenance. He plucked the goldfish from his gap])ing mouth an l threw it to the cat. He was fully awake. (iEN. HARTER— DOL ' Gl.AS l.AMOXT, ' 22. GIRLS, ARE YOU AN IDEAL.? Mv ideal girl is one who dresses neatly, with plain clothes. She neith- er wears extremely short nor low neck dresses. She does not wear high heeled shoes. 66 T H E C C) M M E N T She does not paint to make her complexion, and does not chew gum in pubHc. Some girls, when in compan}-, like to attract attention by loud talking. My ideal girl is qtiiet and ladylike. She is interested in outdoor sports, and is healthy and strong. She has a cheerful disposition and a pleasant smile. And lastly, she attends church and Sunday School regularly. First of all, a model girl sliotdd be sauve and dignified, reverent to her elders and parents, and should be prudent. . girl need not be so dignified that she, in a brief period of time, would be termed a bore and a prude, but she should possess sufficient dignity to restrain her from boisterous and vulgar actions, which are so ultimately disgusting to the observer. A model girl can possess dignity and yet be a good sport, and she can be just as popular. So many girls imagine that fellows simply detest a prim girl, hnt they are really sadly mistaken, providing the girl is not extremely l.irim. THOSE AWFUL K. H. S. BOYS The balmy sj)ring evening had now fallen .-ind covered the landscape with a Idanket of intense blackness. All was still and (juiet without the [jrincipal ' s residence. It remained this way for many long hours of the night, when finally out of the darkness there came the trip-trip-thumping of uncertain footsteps, making their way down the [lavement. The trip-thumping ceased in front of the principal ' s residence, and all was silent again. Then dUt of this melancholy stillness there came the long drawn out wail of O Mr. Davis, which was followed later by another (J Mr. Davis. This time a window opened slowly, and a man ' s head clearly reflected the melancholy rays of the translucent moon against the dark background of the principal ' s residence. Well, buys, quietly said the man in the winddw, what can I do for you ? A window in your house is open, sir, came back the muffled reply. Which one.- ' whispered the one in the window, scenting trouble. The one you have you head out of, liarely breathed the mvsterious ones below. And then off into the night the mysterious trip-trip-thump died awav, and once again silence grasped the principal ' s residence. MAR(;rb:KrrE lagerpusch, 22.

THE WEEKLY COMMENT A school paper was ])roposed dvu ' ing the year and I ' .ditors h ' ullon and Diinson attended the Iowa High school Press Convention at (irinnell. it was hoped that a semi-niontiily Comment woiUd he a ]iossibility in K. II. ,S. However, with the divided atten lance. it was obvious that such a paper would be difficult to handle successfully . lust when we were feeling disa])pointed that the condition was thus, we were allotted a ])ortion of the editorial i)age of the (late City for the Keo- kuk High School Comment. The space provided ample columns headed with athletics, news notes, and editorials. We feel that through this means we 70 THE C O AI AI E N T have been kept together much better than we wovikl have been had not Mr Finlay been s ogenerous as to cifer us space in the daily pa]3er. The new conditions of school life prevailing this year — namely, the half- day sessions, af forded small opportiiity to kee]) in touch with one ' s fellow students and the affairs of the school in general- The sttccess of school activ- ities depend solely upon the degree of ct)-operation and interest of the stud- ents. It may be affirmed that the weekly Comment did much to keep the student interested in activities and projects atempted during the year. Athletics were largely furthererl b}- the weekly account (.)f the athletic events which appeared. The editorials were intended to acfpiaint outsiders with the inside of K. H. S. : some were directed to the fellow students; while others served to interest both the students and the pulilic. WISE CHOICE OF ELECTIVES Each year as June approaches, some seniors are heard to say, I wish that I could go through mv fours years again. Most of them say this be- cause they feel that if they could do the work again, it would be possible for them to gain more. . s the time approaches for the chosing of next term ' s electives approaches, it is advisable for the lower classmen to give some consideration to such expressions, as on the jiart of the seniors: for the majority of the graduates would make any changes in their courses if they were to have a second trial- In regard to electives, there are man_ - standing (juestions. Shall I s])end most of my time stud -ing C(n)king, sewing, and the domestic arts, pre- paring myself to grace a home ; or shall I spend my time studx ' ing the lan- guages and higher mathematics, ])reparing myself for college and a career? Do my natural tendencies direct me to take a commercial (H a normal course? And, of course, there are many other presently pertinent problems that arise at the same time. Everyone has a proljlem to lie solved in a par- ticular way. Ex])erience proves the greatest teacher in problems of this kind as well as in the bigger affairs of life, but unf(jrlimately each one of us cannot profit by his ow nex])erience here because the high school course is limited in its time. Each must be willing to acce])t the experience of otehrs. Too man_ - students merel_ - play fellow the leader, without reasoning their own case out for themselves by using the experience that can easily lie ol)tained on both sides of the question from those ahead.

One girl wanted something concerning the life of Anonymous. 1 tried to enlighten her by breaking the news as gently as I could, yet she didn ' t seem satisfied. The teacher had asked her to look up something about each author. She thought there must be some other Anonymous. We are often asked strange ciuestiuns. but find that they wish, after all. a book. Who is your schoolmaster? (Hoosier Schoolmaster). W ill vou tel! me where Longfellow ' s iron side is? (Old Imnsides). Most of us like plums in our cake, but there was one who wanted a geography with currents in it. A girl wanted to know why you could see stars down in the deep chasm of a well. She suggested the information might lie in an epileptic geogra- phy. The reipiest is made for a blank book, . nswer: Away at the bindery. (Hesitation). I think that will do as well. These are only a few of the many incidents that might be related. These are sufficient, doubtless, to illustrate the point that a librarian doesn ' t need to wear a long face every day.

I do not like to hear all that sonie |)e(ij)le say ' Bout grandma ' s demureness. her dainty ways, (They never speak of her terrihle stays That made her wai t small and her very vain) Her ability a graceful pose to maintain. They talk about OlT-i naught - dances. Grandma remend)er tlujse naughty glances, SHE used behind that silken f;in And to her feet brought many a man. We are more democratic, you sei- We don ' t like men at our feet, so w(.- Are comrades instead of i|ueens and eoipiettes. And because we show no real regrets That we arn ' t like grandma and those of her day. They say we ' re degenerating. We have this to say.
