So pageantry this year arranges high lights and challenges our intelligence in time, thought, and action by means of which a panoramic View of Keo- kuk's past is presented, her pres- ent reviewed, and her future made worthy. Myth, history, folklore, achieve- ment and song are sought for through the vital contacts of growing, ex- panding life. Our pageant project is a story re- told, emerging from the depths of a rich heritage, glorifying the present and lighting the paths ahead made radiant by the past. R. L. REID.

EIGHT Class Poem I Along the vista of what-will-be Familiar faces I can see. In their hands strange gifts they hold, Some Walk fearful, others boldg And these rare gifts they will give To the day in Which they live. H The Seniors year by year depart, And now We stand so sad at heartg For tomorroW's sun will rise To End broken all our ties. Only the Ideals formed will hold And are to us as hidden gold. III If Truth and Will are with the load That Will carry along our road, The long Way will be brighter, Our burden will grow lighterg If in all our best We do, Those fondest dreams may come true.

And We, as Sophs on learning bent Did prove to all We were intentg And then bold Juniors striving on To make our class a better one. And now, We Seniors all must look Thru the chapters of Lifels book, Something attempted, something done, For we Life's journey have begun. Chorus: High School Days! High School Days! We bid them fond farewellg Dear old school, we'll ne'er forget The stories thou couldst tell. DORIS ARNOLD.

S. Being no less green than the usual Freshies, we too carried all of our books around so we would not be tardy to classes, and asked numerous dumb questions of the dignified upper classmen. In a few weeks we felt that we were typical High Schoolersf' We boldly adopted the customary green for our class color. During this year we wore off our verdant hue and in l924 we entered the new High School. Again our surroundings seemed strange to us. After we had became familiar with the building and the traffic regulations of the halls, a class meeting was called. Purple and gold were chosen for the colors and the following officers were elected: Elizabeth Winger, President. George Collisson, Vice-President. Myrtle Koch, Secretary and Treasurer. On December 13, we gave a Sophomore Erolic in the gym, and in the spring we enjoyed a Weiner roast at the du Pont Gun Club. In September, 1925, we returned as sophisticated Juniors. Purple and gold were retained as the class colors. The officers elected were: Tench Gammon, President. Elizabeth Winger, Vice-President. Doris Arnold, Secretary. Paul Smith, Treasurer. Our first move was in sponsoring a program presented by Tony Sarg's Marionettes. We did not see Ht to have our usual class party. In June we gave the Seniors a rousing send-off with a dance and bunco party at the Country Club. We did not realize how quickly high school days would pass, until we returned to school in the fall to find ourselves Seniors. Yes, actually Seniors like those notables at whom we had looked in awe only three short years before. Once more the class officers were elected: Paul Smith, President. Elizabeth Winger, Vice-President. Tench Gammon, Secretary. John ldle, Treasurer. Blue and gold were selected as the class colors, and the rose was chosen for our flower. Socially, the year was uneventful to us, as a class, but we were all active in various school organizations. lt is now with regret that we, ninety-six strong, leave friends and faculty, the familiar halls and classrooms of dear old K.

Alice Schaefer is doing research work along the line of American History. She has proven to the world that the Chinese were in America before Columbus, by finding two clothespins and a flatiron in the Black Hills. Clifford lVlillspaugh's face is seen in every home. His profile is printed on each bottle of his new patent medicine, Essence of Dissolved Horse- shoe Nails, which is a sure cure for nervousness and softening of the brain. Catherine Ayres is a second Pollyanna Girl who even enjoys having a headache, as it shows there is something there to ache. By trying to invent a new color scheme for taxicabs, john Sigmund suffered a slight touch of insanity. But after a six months rest in Scotland, selling roulette wheels, he was pronounced cured. Naomi Roost, who runs a delicatessen shop on Water Street, is known as The Woman WVithout a Consciencef' She looks her customers straight in the eye and sells them both pork and veal chicken salad. Victor Brown has written a book on the utter worthlessness of tonsils after they are removed. This is said to be one of the best bed-time stories for night-watchmen on the market. Charles Holbrook is Keokuk's most popular boxer-he followed the family profession and is a flourishing undertaker. By tending a furnace in an ice factory, john Idle lives up to his name in a manner that is rated 100 per cent. William Carr and Loren Camp graduated recently from an aviation school and are now selling Hy-paper and balloon tires, respectively. Elizabeth Winger, one of lowals foremost Senators, is enforcing the Prohibition Amendment to the best of her ability. She suggests that the Government pass a law demanding that all frogs be killed in order that the supply of hops be exhausted. TWENTY-FOUR TH E -ooMMENT 3321 .j?ffgf,,,, Since graduation, Tench Gammon has spent all his time trying to dis- cover a more direct route to Hamilton than by the bridge. Tench, with his persistency, will become famous yet. Leslie Ferris has suddenly decided, after all these years, that he can never marry Myrlte, as she has an impediment in her speech. She can't say yes, Louise Larson, who was voted Keokuk's Most Beautiful Girl, is now taking a correspondence course in swimming, preparatory to entering the beauty contest this summer at Atlantic City. Doris Ackley and Dorothy Adams tripped lightly to New York to seek their fame and fortune. They are at present ironing with great dexterity the wrinkles out of the baby elephants in the zoo. Doris Arnold is heard regularly over the radio from Station WOC. She sings and plays her own composition, The Little Red Cow Is Dead in Mobile, with such pathos that it actually drives one to tears. George McDevitt, who was always very daring and adventurous, joined the navy to see the world, but instead has spent the last four years in a submarine as head cook and garbage slinger. A monster laundry, said to be the largest in the world, is nearing com- pletion. I understand that Leroy Bartholomew, the president of the company, has cordially invited Roy Buck to yank off the first button. Evelyn Banghart claims she is the most experienced cook in Keokuk, as three policemen have already lost their jobs because of her. Burdette Dunn is an installment agent, whose motto is An Unpaid Balance in Every American Homefl Grace and Dorothea Buck are beauty experts who specialize in lifting the faces of grandfather clocks. Burdette Beard advocates that some girls should be wearing speedome- ters instead of wrist watches. Julian Wihlfehrt and Elmer VanAusdall are running one of the latest novelties-a teeth shining parlor. Ten cents in the slot polishes your teeth and gives you a spray of listerine and a stick of gum. The gum can be procured in any flavor. Avice Bryant has astonished the scientific world by her recent article on Why There Are Warts on Pickles. This discourse, as the title sug- gests, is very elevating, indeed. Carl Gates, Professor of Philosophy in the Keokuk Junior College, one bright May morning, slammed his wife and kissed the door. Because of his absent-mindedness he is now paying forty-five a week alimony. Marcia Cahalan is enjoying a life of comparative solitude. She is living in the far North, where she wiles away her time selling straw hats to the Eskimos. Paul Benner is an efficiency expert in a toothpick factory.

Bernice Cahill is knitting socks for the soldiers of the next war. The design is red and black checks, so that the soldiers can play the ancient and honorable game of checkers in their leisure hours. Malcolm Azinger, being of an inventive nature, is working on a pencil sharpener to be used only for eversharp pencils. Wilson Collins, who won many races for K. I-I. S. on the cinder path, entered the thousand-mile dash and would have won had he not broken one of his crutches. As it was, he limped over the line a good second. Edna Casey and Isabelle Clark, two noted musicians, recently enter- tained the inmates of an institution for the deaf and dumb in a Way that completely won their hearts. I have heard that Beatrice Kiefer is two-thirds married to her ideal man. She is willing and the preacher is willing. Charles Danford declares that the business world is not for him-the circular letters make him dizzy. Jesse Davis is running a taxi line between Mars and Saturn. Competi- tion is very keen, but Jesse makes up for this, as his specialty is short- changing. . Mary Clippert is looking for a man of few words and many actions. The only one she has found so far has St. Vitus' dance. Ruth Cramer and I-Iarriet DeYong are two of the most popular girls in Lee County. Ruth keeps track of her dates on an adding machine and Harriet by the double entry system. Warren Hull has charge of the free air at a filling station in one of Africa's foremost villages. During his spare time he peels bananas for the native ilappers. Louise I-Iammat thinks it would be simply terrible to be an heiress, as there would be nothing left to get married for. Dorothy Hedrick and Vivian Johnson graduated recently from a busi- ness college 90 per cent of whose graduates marry their employers within a year. Isn't this good, practical business training? Joe Furlong is master in his own house. I-Iis wife goes out every day and leaves him absolutely boss of two cats, a dog, four goldfish and a canary bird. Edward Eckland is efliciently running a barber shop for bald-headed men. This is a very delicate and tedious job, but Edward has made quite a success of it. I-Ielen Philp has been pursuaded to take over the love problems of the Chicago Tribune. Her thoughtful answers have won a place for her in the hearts of millions. TW ENTY-SIX NWT fs THE CQl'll'N3W 3327. Ajiaaea. Elmer Gustason and Carl Lindner are training dogs for the movies. They claim that when they say to a dog Are you coming, or aren't you ? it either comes or it doesn't. Isn't this a clever method? Margaret Fannin has started a reform and has married neither for love nor money, but for keeps. Mathias Ribyn, who is running close competition with Webster, de- fines a moustache as a bang on the mouth. Erma Riley, who always was vain about her feet, claims that fives are her size, but fives and a half are so comfortable she wears sixes. Wilma Smith has the very latest in kitchen cabinets. It consists of an ice man, the policeman, and the delivery boy, with the cook as chairman. Veva Dell Maloy and Maxine Mitchell are trying to decide whether lipsticks carry microbes, or microbes carry lipsticks. Who knows? It may be both. Henry Pflug claims he never wore glasses. The mark across his nose is from drinking cider out of a fruit jar. Clarice Rose is writing fairy tales for both the young and old. Her most popular one begins, There was once a lady who came home from Europe and carefully removed all the stickers from her trunksf' Hot stuff, Claricel Lester Liegrot is one of the most modern farmers of the age. He sends his cows to boarding school and raises mashed potatoes with great success. Ralph O'Bleness, as Iowa's cheer leader, dislocated his jaw and shoul- der at the last game with Michigan. There are some things more dan- gerous than playing football. Frances Larson, who has been disappointed in love, believes that hap- piness is the real thing. Etalka Rockenbock is teaching that the earth is round, but more re- cently evidence has shown that it is also crooked. George Roddyiand Alonzo Draine are now smoking the Robinson Crusoe cigarettes-they're castaways. Glen Waples relates that while exploring in the frozen Northland, the greatest thrill he received was finding a tack in his baked beans. Nola Wood was jilted recently by a young aviator, but she believes there are still birds in the air that have never been caught. Marguerite Thomas is writing those songs that are put on the other side of Victrola records. Thelma Haga is making up jokes-she works in a beauty parlor. lWargie Cox has mastered eight languages and is now starting on the Chinese. Although the language contains 15,000 words, Margie thinks it will not be difficult, as they all sound alike. May Johnson is said to swim just like paralysis-three strokes and it's all over. TWENTY-SEVEN we CQWENT 39127, Charles Kingsbury and Donald Robertson have gone West to take up land. They are-about a shovelful at a time. Lorene Leake is a perfect private secretary. When anyoneuinsists upon seeing her bossaon a .Hpersonal matter, she looks them straight in the eye and asks, Is it bonds, a donation, or liquor? Being of a poetic nature, Herbert Moander is composing epitaphs for tombstones. His latest for a man eighty years old is: L'We had just learned to love him When the angels took him homefl Florence Robinson is one of America's designers. She is now working on a uniform for garbage men which is respendent with gold buttons and bright braid. Helen Pyles repeatedly declares a caterpillar is nothing more or less than an upholstered worm. No one disagrees with her. The marriage of Rosemary Schmid to a prominent New York broker has been indefinitely postponed, as she married another fellow. Kenneth South and Gertrude Johnson have, between them, solved a very difhcult problem. They have cured their husbands of dropping ashes on the floor by having them give up smoking. Miss May Wyatt, while talking to a mothers' club, gave them this comforting bit of advice: If the baby swallows the ink, write with a pencil. Lucile McGruger, to escape being disappointed in love, has never married, but is living the life of a typical spinster. Georgiana West and Madeleine Waples have invented the new West- Waples Steel False Teeth. They are the only thing to use when eating sardines in the tin. Doris Laws is still as popular as she was in High School. The reason she gives for going out every night is that she is afraid to stay in the house alone. A poor excuse is better than none. Dear Diary, don't you truly believe that Lady Fortune played a variety of pranks, tricks and good turns on the Class of '27?

Still, perhaps Toody doesnit need it, as he will eventually get the school torn down anyway. Victor Brown's haircut goes to Jake Hambleton. Jake ought to stuff a mattress with his cotton-top. Avice Bryant's studious ways we give to Irma Uhler. Irma could have a good time at school, but her studies interfere too much. TWENTY-NINE 'i fw THE -CQWENT 33217, Jfffa..

And, Allen, be sure and stop in and see Miss MacGregor more often. Jesse Davis' sideburns go to Homer Cockrell. You could use them for a tooth brush, Homer.

They could have used it after the Seniors beat them' in the tourna- ment. Margaret Jones gives her marcell to Harold Schmidt. Now Schmidt will have something on his mind. Beatrice Kiefer's drawl We give to Eugene Mitchell. Wouldn't Gene be cute with it? 'To Bill Brown we give Charles Kingsbury. We decided that was the only way to keep Bill from dying of loneliness. Myrtle Koch's vocal ability we give to Bemrose Boyd. The two com- bined will give Bemrose the ability to sing the School Song without chang- ing his voice. V Frances Larson's freckles we give to Harriet Cameron. Harriet with freckles would be a true Irish Rose.

Lorene Leake's brilliance in class goes to john Anderson. John really did recite- one day-only it was the wrong lesson. Carl Lindner's loud and boisterous ways go to Mildred Poole. Carl's too bashful to even answer the roll call. Lucille McGruder's sensibleness about long hair we bequeath to any- one who has long hair and is thinking about cutting it. Weva Dell M'aloy,s fondness for loud colors we will let fall on Gertrude Redrn-on. Veva Dell's life ambition is to have a coat the color of the rainbow.

Etalka always seems to have 'nary a worry or care. g Geoge Roddy's position of colored shiek falls upon Stacy Johnson. Cf course, Stacy neversteps out, but helll leafn. F W Naomi Roost's permanent attachment to Myrtle Koch goes to Alice Beach and Madelin Whiston-as if they needed it. Dorothy Ruddick's ability to roller skate we give to Phyllis Carey. We don't believe Phyllis gets enough exercise. Alice Schaefer's fondness for boyish bobs goes to Esther Meyer.

Fer it's gloom from the moment it opens, Till the time the theater shuts, An' the company's half o' them's loony, An' the rest of the cast is all nuts. This Barrymore lad is called Hamlet, But his real name's George W. Gloom, He's a reglar life 0' the part'y, V He's as jolly and gay as a tomb. His old man was king o' the Denmarks, An' the poor simp's gone weak in the bean, Fer his dad has been croaked by his uncle, Who right afterwards marrys the Queen. So young Hamlet just hangs around sad- like, An' he talks to hisself like a nut, But as yet he ain't hep that his father Was bumped off by his uncle, the mut. One night he slips out 0' the castle, An' he goes on the roof fer some air, When along comes the ghost of his father, An' he shoots him an earful fer fair. That lowlife, your uncle, has croaked me, An' has went of an' married your ma. Will you let that rat hand you the Ha, Ha? Says Hamlet, Just notice me, Pa! Young Ham has a frail called Ophelia, An' her pop is a dreary old goof, An' they can'-t dope why Hamlet's gone batty, ' They don't know what he's seen on the roof. Well, Ham goes and calls on his mother, And he bawls the old girl out fer fair, Then he sees something move in the cur- tains, An' he thinks that the uncle is there. THIRTY-SIX So he jabs with his sword through the curtains, An' he cries, Now we're even, my lad, But it isn't the King, but Polonius, An' he's killed poor 0phelia's old dad. Then Ophelia, poor kid, just goes daify, When she hears that her old man was crowned, An' she goes around singing like daffy, Till she walks in the lake and gets drowned. There's a jolly old scene in the graveyard, Where Prince Hamlet gets into a scrap, With Ophelia's big brother Laertas, Who wants to muss up Hamlet's map. Then the King says, Now, boys, don't act nasty, I know how to fight this thing out, I've got some tin swords in the castle, An' we'l1 frame a nice friendly bout. Then he winks at Laertes and whispers, VVe'll knock this here nut fer a goal, I'll smear up your sword with some poison, An' we'll make Hamlet look like a fool. So they pull off the bout like they plan it, But the King thinks his scheme may slip up, So he orders a cold drink for Hamlet, An' some poison he sneaks in the cup. Then Ham and Laertes start fighting, And the King slips Tjaertes the winlq f ' But the Queen, she ain't hep to what's doin' An' she swallers the King's poisoned drink. Then Hamlet gets stuck in the shoulder, An' he sees how he's framed from the start, So he switches the sword on Laertes, An' he stabs the poor kid thru the heart. Then he runs his sword right thru his uncle, An' he says, Well, let's call it a day. Then the King dies, the Queen dies, an' Ham dies- I call it a helluva play. fSelectedJ THIRTY-SEVEN JUNIOR CLASS ITM? fic gCOll'l MENT l?27v Affiiwggg jQifL junior Class History There is very little history to record at this time, except that a few of the Seniors are still Qluniors, as in cases like Collisson, where the pupil is so liked by the teacher she refuses to part with him.

FIIIRTY-EIGll'l' X'Nxfx..,..rf ' THE. rogmiiiixii 1227, Legend In the days of Old Fort Summer, when men were men at sixteen, in their prime at twenty, and old men at thirty, there lived a gallant des- perado known as Billy the Kid. Tall, lean, strong-bodied he was, with eyes of blue steel, and curling, ash-blond hair. Boys worshiped him, and there was not a senorita in the village who did not Woo him with her eyes. Old men fashioned stories about him that grew with each repetition. Now, one time, when he was escaping from the sheriff and there was not so much as a cactus bush in sight, he had overtaken an old woman driving a rickety cart. He had tied his horse behind the cart, donned the old woman's sun-bonnet and shawl, and had driven into town beside her, undetected. By the time he was twenty-one years old, Billy the Kid had killed twenty-one men. But one must remember it was easier to kill men in those days. Many a time, when the little dance hall was filled with laughing couples, the dancing would stop when Billy the Kid entered, the dancers crowd about him, making him the center of attraction. As no man could equal his grace in the saddle, so none of them could rival him as a dancer. Near the place where New Fort Summer had come to be, there was in those days a old Spanish villa. The land enclosed within its walls was a vision of tropical beauty. Purple orchids, that drooped luxuriantly from the branches of pitajaya trees, were nourished by cool springs that gushed from the earth and kept their roots always moist. But the countryside beyond those Walls was a barren waste-cactus, sage brush, struggling to grow in sickly red soil. The story was told how the villa, bit by bit, had been transported from Old Mexico, two hundred years before, at the direction of the bold Spaniard, Don Pedro de Anguerra. He had come north searching for El Dorado, so the legend goes, and when he discovered this oasis in the desert of sickly, red earth, he had caused the villa to be built. In the days when Billy the Kid was the terror of three counties round, little Anunciata de Anguerra was mistress of the house. She lived there with her silvery-haired grandmother, Dona Moreno, and remained aloof from the village society. Just to see the way little Anunciata drooped her flame-colored mantilla over her large tortoise-shell comb was to know all the beauty of Spain. Sometimes she donned her most exquisite finery and sat before her iron- grilled window, her eyes shining like star-dust, while her fan, sending abroad its sandalwood fragrance with every slow undulation, swung back and forth across her curved red lips and the oval whiteness of her cheeks. And her mind-who can say whither it wandered? To the time, perhaps, when the strumming of guitars was heard outside that window and a loverls voice was heard singing. THIRTY-NINE TH E S CQMMENT 1227, ff One time, when her grandmother was sleeping, a little peon girl told Anunciata of Billy the Kid. She was fascinated by the recital of his daring, and one day while making some purchases at the little village store she saw him. Anunciata dressed in her fine clothing oftener after that and one could know by the light in her eyes that the lover of her dreams had found form. One night Anunciata was awakened by an intangible something, she scarcely knew what. She arose, drawing a siken robe about her, and stood by the doorway looking out into the flowered patio. A night wind was stirring. A shadow, appearing on the moonlit pathway before her, sud- denly arrested her attention, a footstep was heard, then a man appeared. It was Billy the Kid. In a cloak under his arm he was carrying her silver candlesticks, the golden goblets from which her ancestors had sipped their wine. Anunciata did not see them. Her eyes were riveted upon the man's face. The glint in his steel-blue eyes fascinated her. Billy the Kid stooped, kissed her, and passed on into the night. Still she did not move. There was the glimmer of star-dust in her eyes. VVhen morning came, Anunciata found her grandmother murdered in her bed. The mattress had been torn open and all her beautiful diamonds were gone. Soon after this episode Billy the Kid was reported dead. Yes, say the old men of New Fort Summer, the legend is true. MAYFRED LONG.

Bail was graduated and received his B. A. de- gree from the Missouri Valley College. He has been instructorroffbhysics and chemistry at K. H. S. for six years. Mr. Bail is the efficient coach of the football and basketball teams, and of track, in which position he has always emphasized good sportsmanship and clean play- ing. He is also a senior class advisor. The Football Season of 1926 Keokuk Purple and White gridsters developed into a first-class ma- chine during the season and were able to hold their own with the best teams in the section. The defense of the locals was their long suit. Witli a line composed of such men as Furlong, Kutcher, Bartholomew, Mc- Devitt, Ferris, Captain-elect Schlotter, and Roddy, you can readily im- agine that the opponents had some difficulty going through the Purple line. Wilson, Fiedler, Collins, and Cameron were the chief ground gainers, while Talbott and Wihlfehrt alternated at the quarterback position. Bartholomew captained the team, which was able to tie Burlington 6-6 and win from Mount Pleasant 12-6, both members of the highly touted Little Six. The big game of the season was the Centerville fray, in which Keokuk threw aside the jinx and won 3-0. Two scoreless tie games were played in the mud, one at Hannibal and one here on Thanks- giving day with Macomb. This makes two scoreless ties with Macomb in as many games. The one loss chalked up was against Madison, there on Armistice Day, by a score of 7-0. Two other victories Were chalked up, one from Hamilton and the other from Stronghurst. Keokuk won four games, lost one and tied three. Next season, let us wipe out those ties with clean-cut victories. Letters were awarded to eight linemen and seven backs. ln addition to those mentioned above, Burdette Dunn earned a letter by playing end, tackle, guard or center and doing a nice job in either of the places. Of the first seven linemen, only Captain-elect Schlotter and Kutcher, both tackles, return. But oh, such tackles. Some of the other linemen that developed during l926, and, although not playing the required time for a K, did show that they have real stuff and will be the first outfit in 1927. Edmon Cook, a sophomore, Harry Henke, junior, Schmid, junior, Finley, junior, Hambleton, sophomore, Alberts, junior, Riley, sopho- more, were of the undergraduates, while Waples, Beard, Franklin, Sig- mund, and Robertson were Seniors who played in the line. The last five were awarded minor K's. In the backfield, Cameron and O,Bleness alternated at full, and both showed ability, Cameron in plunging and O'Bleness in punting. Both of the lads will be back in 1927, and with the experience of 1926 should be FORTY-EIGHT 1.as.,-,.k ' first-rate backs. Tex Wilson, one of the lleetest backs in southeastern Iowa, was the most consistent ball-toter in 'these parts. Tex graduates, and we hope to hear from him at Iowa City. Collins, track speedster and speedy halfback, was a good running mate for L'Tex and played a fine brand of ball. Collins expects to graduate, although not finishing eight semesters. Fiedler, speedster from the track squad, showed his wares in fine style. Frank should be on the all S. E. Iowa next year. Wihlfehrt graduates, but Talbott will be back to call signals for two more years. Johnie should be a first-class quarterback next year. L Other promising backs are: Humble, W. Cook, Miller, Reed, Howell, oring. Not such a bad layout for 1927, eh? Not many veterans, but some mighty promising material. Mention must be made of the efficient service rendered by the two student managers, John Idle and Tench Gammon, both receiving the coveted managerls HK. The physical condition of the men was the very best and the whole season did not bring a single serious injury, due to Mr. Purcell's work in first aid and osteopathy. One of the most enjoyable functions of the whole season was the oyster fry put on by Coach Bail to the Whole squad as a reward for the Centerville victory. Another never-to-be-forgotten feed was the faculty treat given the entire squad after the Armistice game. FORTY-NINE ,.,. llllivfjiy fha, IH E - CQWENI 927, ..fW'a2.3'f' 'Lie X N.f-s,,..J '4 TH E - CQWIENT 327, i The Games Keokuk 15, Stronghurst 0 After plowing through sixty miles of mud, Keokuk arrived in time to begin the game at 4 o'clock. In the first quarter, Keokuk smashed from their 20-yard line to the Stronghurst 30-yard line, after receiving the kick-off. In the second quarter, Keokuk went over for a touchdown when Tex snared a pass, and scored a safety, when Roddy dropped their safety behind the goal line. In the fourth quarter, Keokuk, with Collins lugging the ball, smashed from the middle of the Held for a touchdown to win 15-0. Furlong's play at end was spectacular. Burlington 6, Keokuk 6 The first quarter both teams tallied, Keokuk by blocking a punt and scoring from the 25-yard line and the Greyhounds by a series of passes after a fumble on Keokuk's 30-yard line. In the mud both teams battled, the three remaining quarters, to break the tie, but to no avail. Wilson, carrying the ball, about six times out of seven, gained many yards. Keo- kuk gained 223 while Burlington gained 202. Wilson punted eleven times to average 32 yards, while Uffleman punted twelve times to average 35 yards. It was a real game. Nuf said. Keokuk 14, Hamilton 6 Next the Hamiltonians came over the bridge to give Keokuk a real game. Mekenrson at left end was the whole show in snaring passes, one from Dee for 25 yards, after which he ran 15 yards to a touchdown. Wilson got loose in this game for a 60-yard run for touchdown behind perfect interference. The other touchdown came by off tackle smashes from the 40-yard line in attempts during the second quarter. Keokuk 3, Centerville 0 The first time for five years Keokuk was able to win from the big, red-jerseyed team from Centerville. The score does not tell how badly Keokuk trimmed them. Nevertheless, they never came closer than 40 yards until the last minute, and then only to the 30-yard line. The purple jerseys were within scoring distance in every quarter, but either penalties or fumbles kept a touchdown away. In the second quarter, however, Roddy dropped back and booted a dropkick over for three tallies from the 25-yard line. Enough to win. Then came the oysters. Mt. Pleasant 6, Keokuk 12 This was a real game for thrills. Keokuk earned two touchdowns, but didnlt get either of them, but immediately after earning and losing one, they made up for it by getting one in the break. The first came when a Mt. Pleasant half back touched a forward pass thrown by Wilson and FIFTY THE -Commtm 13127, knocked it into Cameron's hand. He then stepped over the goal line for 6 points. Furlong, on the play just before this, had dropped a pass within a yard of the goal line. Mt. Pleasant's speedsters then ran away with the tying touchdown. In the fourth quarter Keokuk lost a touchdown on a fumble only to have Kutcher pick up a punted ball and race to a touch- down. Five husky linesmen wearing purple jerseys had worried the safety man all afternoon. At last he dropped a punt which Kutcher recovered. Oh, how that lanky boy ran! Madison 7, Keokuk 0 Too bad, because Keokuk gained many more yards, about four to one. Madison only gained 50 yards in the whole game. Blocked punts caused the loss of several yards. Wilson was going hot, gaining back every yard in the first half that Madison gained on punts. The passing attack was going strong, but after recovering a punt on the 30-yard line in the third quarter Madison carried the ball over in the fourth quarter for a touch- down. Keokuk came close in this last period, but couldn't make it. Better luck next year. Hannibal 0, Keokuk 0 On a field covered with snowy slush and mud the Purple and White could not push over a winning touchdown, although the game ended with K. H. S. on Hannibal's one-yard line. The first half was slip, slide, slush, but in the second Keokuk's passing game came into play and the Fiedler-- to-Furlong combination worked several times to put Collins within run- ning distance. He almost did, but the gun shot before he could score. lVIacomb 0, Keokuk 0. On Thanksgiving Day, in a cold, drizzling rain, Keokuk and Macomb battled to the second scoreless tie in their second encounter in five years. Macomb could not gain at all through the Keokuk line, while the Purple and White had little dificulty until reaching the goal line. On three occa- sions touchdowns should have been put across, but when inches were needed the ball toters could not get a footing or else they couldn't find a hole in the Macomb line. Better luck next year at Macomb. And so the 1926 curtain dropped on football. 1927 SCHEDULE Oct. 1 --- --- Quincy .... ---- Here 8 Monmouth --- ....

Coach Bail has raised the standard of Keokuk athletics to their present status during his Eve years of coaching and teaching in Keokuk High.

Many times, when the call for athletics has been sounded, prospects at first looked rather dim, but after extensive training and patience the teams of K. H. S. have stood the tests and many times have been awarded the Mississippi Valley championship-an honor and an achievement for both K. H. S. and Coach Bail.

Although K. S. H. S. did not bring home the bacon in any of the larger meets, sev-- eral promising track candidates were developed for the season of 1927. The half-mile relay team was the best the Purple has had, including Wilson, Naggs, Beard, and Whiston. They finished second to Burlington at the district meet by only a hair's breadth. McDevitt and Cockrell developed from 30-foot shot-putters to 40--foot putters in the season. Both these fellows are available this year. Collins, half-mile, was out half the season with an infected foot, but should go great this year. Roddy, miler, graduated and it will be hard to fill his place. Carl Robertson earned his K in the half mile. Reed ran the 440 fast enough to earn the winged K, Tomlinson earned a K in the hurdles. The dash men, broad jumpers and relay team all earned K's, but they also all graduate. Wilson, 100-220 broad jump, Whiston, 100-220 broad jump, Naggs, 220 broad jump, Beard, 100-220. Furlong earned his third K for the year by winning the 440 and half mile. The following letter men will be seen on the cinders in 1927: Furlong, 440, half mile, Collins, half mile, McDevitt, shot, discus. Others that should be first-class performers are: Bartholomew and Robertson in the high jumpg Fiedler in the dashes. MEETS Triangular-Quincy, 633 Keokuk, 43, Mendon, 21. Quincy won the field event points, while Keokuk was strongest in the track events. Triangular-Warsaw, Montrose, Keokuk. Boedecker won this meet for the Warsaw High School by winning the 100, 220, 440 and broad jump. He was a real iron man. In the Conference meet held at Hannibal, Keokuk won fifth place with 8 points. Triangular-Burlington, Fort Madison, Keokuk. Burlington romped away with this triangular meet, and, although a cold day, some good marks were made. Keokuk's relay team went to the Burlington invitation on May 15. At Fairfield, in the District meet, Wilson placed in the broad jump and the relay team scored second. One of the last meets of the season saw Keokuk win from Kahoka 72-40 at the Clark County fair-grounds. This meet was held the same day that the half-mile relay team was at Burlington. Keokuk won one dual meet, second in two triangulars, third in one triangular, eighth in the district of thirty-three teams, fifth in the Con- ference meet. Here's to a banner season for '27, FI FTY-FOUR :ITEM 1 ,THE CQIVWENT 19227, P Basketball Games Keokuk opened against Donnellson after three days' practice and used three teams to win 11-10. Ottumwa, Burlington, Newton and Farm- ington were all met before the Christmas vacation and K. H. S. was unable to score a victory, except over Donnellson. After the Christmas vacation Keokuk met Hamilton in two games, winning both, While they lost an indoor football game at Macomb. The next week they won at Hannibal and lost at Madison. Then they journeyed to Centerville to be defeated by three points after winning a mid-week game with Kahoka. Burlington came to Keokuk next and went home with the bacon because Keokuk could not hit their free shots. Quincy won by 16-15, While Keokuk trounced Centerville 36-13 in the game. The games alternated again the next week-end, with Hannibal winning at Keokuk, and Keokuk winning from Ottumwa. ln the Tri-County tournament, Keokuk won from Kahoka 29-12 and from Hamilton 36-20, but losing in the finals to Fort Madison 20-17. ln the Sectional Tourney, Keokuk drew Fort Madison, and, although leading them by two points with one minute to play, was nosed out 24-22 when the Red and Black dropped in two long baskets.

FIFTY-NINE x.fg,,..1 ' W1 wp Q ml COMMENT1927 MQ ,igqriligg I l we Canon 1321 Basketball Keokuk Senior High began the basketball season with anything but championship hopes. From the sectional Winners of 1926, Captain Kin- namon, flashy forward, Tomlinson, another speedy forward, and Wil- loughby, a reliable guard, were missing. Bartholomew had developed throughout the season into a regular guard, but had only shown his real ability at the end of the season. Wihlfehrt was also available either as forward or center, while Furlong had earned his letter by participating in half of the games at guard or center. Gammon also was a letter man, although he had not played regularly in 1926. These fellows, with the new material, composed the squad which was destined to play a more difficult schedule than the Purple had ever undertaken before. However, they were able to play the best teams in the state and hold them to close scores. Eight games were lost by a total of 24 points, an average of three per game lost. Burlington, champs of the Little Six, defeated Keokuk by five points at Burlington and three points at Keokuk. Ottumwa, the other Little Six team, played, won from Keokuk early in the season on the local lloor 26-12, but Gammon 81 Co. gave them their worst defeat in five years, when the teams met at Ottumwa, 39-24. lt was a real game. Centerville won there by three points, but came to Keokuk to be defeated 36-13. Madison won the two regularly scheduled games, at Madison 25-20 and at Keokuk 16-14, in an overtime game, with the ball dropping through as the bell rang. Games were exchanged with Hannibal, Keokuk winning there 18-11 and losing at home 23-15. The squad was composed largely of seniors and sophs, with two juniors. The seniors on the squad are Robertson and Bartholomew, guardsg Dunn and McDevitt, centers, Gammon and Wihlfehrt, forwards. The fellows to return for the next campaign are Kutcher, centerg Ham- bleton, guard, Cook and Buck, forwards, Howell and Cameron, guards. Hambleton, a sophomore, has shown such ability this season as a guard that it is believed the Purple has another Odell-and for two more seasons! Kutcher became a regular performer at center after Furlong took sick with scarlet fever, and was able to hold his own against any of the centers he met. Another season and he should be mighty good. Look at the picture of the squad available for next season, add to that such players as those available from the Midgets-Hogle, Koch, Anderson, with Loring, Boyd, Talbott, Thoeny, Langston-and you will see the Purple and White flying high in 1928. SIXTY-ONE i M X X-s..,.J ' IHE 99111151111 1327, J 4Qf5if3Q77 Edward H. Purcell, instructor of physical education 3 and Hygiene for boys, was graduated from Missouri Val- : ley College, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. He coaches wrestling, spring football, and is assistant coach of the regular football team. g Wrestlers VVrestling is now winning a berth in the athletic bunk of Keokuk Senior High and at the present time is hibernating for the rest of the year. Football is of such vast possibilities that it can take care of all of the boys of Keokuk Senior High School in the fall, but after Thanks- giving we meet an obstacle. Basketball then mounts the throne and it is impossible to take care of the boys in such large numbers as can be handled on the football field. In the winter of 1925 We established wrestling and boxing as intramural athletics, and thereby carried a large bunch of foot- ball material through the winter in good shape. The following year we scheduled one wrestling and boxing meet, and one wrestling meet with Fort Madison, and two wrestling meets with Ottu-mwa. At that time the letters given out were nothing more than minor ICS and the team was pretty much dissatisfied. lt isn't at all surprising that only a few men answered the call this year. lt was not until the middle of the season that We really had a representative team in the wrestling room. Of this group we only lose one man next year, and we feel that we have a good man to take his place. All of the rest of the team will be back, and the beauty of it is, most of them are sophomores. A-i--43 all Meets for 1927 We started out the season by a meet with Fort Madison, in which we were defeated by a score of 33-8. The next week Fort Madison defeated Ottumwa and we felt as though we had a good chance with Ottumwa the following week, but were disappointed to the tune of 37-3. We then had a return meet with Fort Madison and were again defeated by the veteran Fort Madison team. On February 22, We returned to Fort Madi- son for a meet and were again defeated, 21-14. Our final meet with Fort Madison was on March 1 and the season finished with the close score of 19-21, in Madison's favor. Not a very impressive report on paper, but a decided improvement, showing that these sophomores can fight.

SIXTY-SIX X Nag,,..J ' THE CQWENT 1927, The Low Down On Some High Ups One day the perspiring reporter visited our domain of learning, more familiarly known as K. H. S., for the purpose of obtaining the most highly unvaluable opinions of some of our gifted teachers and pupils on current issues and topics of the day. He debated for many hours on what ques- tions to ask-whether it would be What is your opinion of the Mexican situation in Russia ? or, Which do you prefer, onions or garlic, and why?l' Deciding either of these could be just a little too difiicult for their superior type of intelligence to comprehend, he compromised and ex- pounded the doubtful query: What is your hobby ? Some of the answers received were very surprising, others more exceedigly so. Durdette Dunn: Aw, I hain't got none, an' even if I did, I wouldn't tell ya. George Collisson: l'Sleeping is my favorite hobby. Wasn't it Shakes- peare who wrote that beautiful quotation, 'The innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the ravel'd sleeve of care, ? That expresses my sentiments ex- actly. Victor Brown: 'fReally, that's a very personal question, but if you will promise not to divulge my answer, I'll tell you. Writing to Doris Blake about my many love problems and embroidering sofa pillows are undoubtedly my greatest hobbies. Harriet Hilpert: Counting the hairs on my catls tail is my hobby. ,Iust think, at the latest counting he has 5,280-one whole hair more than he had yesterday. Dorothy Ruddick: I just simply adore picking the flies off the fly- paper. Everyone at home thinks I'm crazy, but really it's more fun, and very instructive. be Elizabeth Winger: Most of my amusement is derived from reading literary and philosophical essays. Besides being very diverting, its educa- tional value is unequaled. Miss Nelson: My favorite hobby is giving ninth period to some of the pupils. I derive much pleasure from this beneficent practice. Fat Holland: Going to school has been my hobby for several years, is still, and probably will be for some time. Mr. Bail: The Keokuk dam is my hobby-very interestingf' Phyllis Carey: I just adore gazing at the stars. It's so romantic. Why don't they have a course in astronomy at school? Mr. Davis: 'lMy favorite pastime is reading some of the excuses presented by the pupils. My collection is very large and undoubtedly the rarest in the worldf, Helen Petry: I get my greatest kick out of sitting at home by the fireside every evening reading 'The Three Bears.' It's so thrilling! Bemrose Boyd: My hobby is jumping rope. You should try it some- time: it's really excellent exercise for the tired bu-siness man. Aren't these revelations right?

Keokuk Senior High School Orchestra Because we make up an orchestra and are not l in a position to attend the outdoor events and - express our spirit there with music, is no great reason why we cannot display ourselves and musical thoughts elsewhere.

Hayden of Keokuk, lowa, l907. The first national orchestra met at Detroit, Michigan, in 1926, instructed by Gabrilowvitz and E. Maddy. This was the beginning of a new era in school music. Beethoven Eroica Symphony, which is a new and vital interpretation, was given. This num- ber was repeated at Dallas, Texas. Our orchestra had the distinction of having two of its members attend and play at this National Association, which met this year at Dallas, Texas. Victor Brown, our double bass player, appeared in the orchestra, and Margaret Fannin, our clarinet player, appeared in the band. We are indeed proud of these two and expect to hear fine things of them along with many others of our ochestra in the future. Much credit for the success of the orchestra this year is due to our efficient leader, Miss Faye Lucille Rhodes, who has been the director of the orchestra for the past two years.

A History of the City of Keokuk On the 30th of April, 1803, in Versailles, the Louisiana Purchase was lconsummated, thus l doubling at a stroke the territory of the United I States of America. And in the spring of 1804, Lewis and Clark set out on their epochal trip which was to take them across half a continent to the Pacific and back again. Succeeding presidents approved of Jefferson's plans for exploration, and the year 1920 saw much of the Louisiana Purchase settled. By 1820, Fort Edwards, now Warsaw, was established, and from there Keokuk received her first white settler. Dr. Samuel C. Muir, an army surgeon, rather than give up his Indian wife in accodance with an army law, quit his position and moved to Keokuk, building a cabin on what is now the northwest corner of Main and Water. Four years later the government set aside 119,000 acres in south- eastern Iowa as a reservation for halfbreeds and Indians. This stretch of land was known as The I-Ialfbreed Tract. In 1829 a number of steamboat men gathered in a saloon proposed that the settlement be named Keokuk, in honor of the great Sac chieftain, whose village was but seven miles distant. Until that time it had been called Puck-e-she-tuck, signifying the foot of the rapids. More steamboats every year were reaching Keokuk and it grew until in 1834 it could boast of twelve log cabins and a frame house owned by Mrs. Muir. In 1835 Keokuk saw the passing of the red men, for in that year Keokuk's band of Sacs and Foxes moved to their reservation in Kansas. All the time the white men had been pushing steadily westward, and the departure of the Indians removed the last barrier for the emigrant. Settlers came in such swarms that in 1836 Lee county was organized with Keokuk as county seat. Until 1834, Iowa had been under federal law alone, but in that year it was made part of the Michigan Territory. In 1836 it was put under the control of the Wisconsin Territory, and in 1838 given a territorial government of its own. By 1845 much of the glamour and romance of frontier life had left Keokuk, and the year 1846, when Iowa was admitted to the Union, marks the end of the period of exploration and settlement, and the beginning of the great boom period which was to make Keokuk the metropolis of the West-the boom that lasted for eleven years and was the most prosperous period in the city's history. EIGHTY-THREE TH E C914 WENT 19127, Eighteen hundred and forty-seven was a red letter year for Keokuk, that date marking her incorporation as a city, and in 1848 her status as county seat was reaifirmed. An index to the city's prosperity was the fact that Highe 81 Co.'s cooper shop, which was destroyed by fire in that year, was the largest west of Cincinnati. By 1851 the population had increased until it was five times that of 1847, and in that year the railroad, the Keokuk, Des Moines and Min- nesota, was started. The telegraph also reached Keokuk in that year. The years 1846-1857 were the most prosperous in Keokukis history, for in those eleven years property increased twenty times in value, build- ings sprang up everywhere, in 1855 the population was twent-seven times as great as it was in 1847, and in 1855 Keokuk installed a waterworks. This period of mushroom growth and Wildcat speculation ended in 1857, when Keokuk suffered along with the rest of the country a terrible business slump which ruined many firmly established business houses and deflated property values so much that lots formerly selling for 31,000 each were now sold for 510. This panic hit Keokuk especially hard and many families moved away. In fact, this movement was so strong that the population of Keokuk dropped from over 17,000 in 1858 to scarcely 8,000 two years later. It was while in this condition that Keokuk heard of the firing on Fort Sumter, and, despite its enfeebled condition, played for the first two years of the war an important part in western military affairs, as it was a con- centration and training camp for Iowa regiments. In 1862 the Estes I-Iouse, which was started in 1857, was converted into a hospital. Keokuk was still at low tide when the war ended, but in the year 1867, just exactly ten years after the end of the boom period, Keokuk started into the third period of her life-the period of reconstruction. In 1867 the canal around the rapids was started. It was built with the idea of reviving some of the then almost extinct river trafiic. By this it was thought that the river traffic would be renewed and that Keokuk would start to grow again. In 1869 a bridge was started which was to connect Keokuk and Ham- ilton, the forerunner of the modern steel structure which now crosses the river. The bridge was finished two years later, and on April 19, 1871, the first train crossed it. During all these years the population of Keokuk had been steadily growing till in 1875 it exceeded 12,000. On August 22, 1877, the canal around the rapids was finished. This had been under construction for ten years and had added materially to the city's wealth, as the monthly payroll was more than EE70,000. Keokuk had installed a gasworks in 1855, and in January, 1878, plans for a waterworks were adoptedg before the year ended it was in operation. The years 1880 to 1900 are rather barren of events in Keokuk's his- toy, save that we did our share in the Spanish American war. In this period our population increased steadily and with it, our manufactures. In EIGHTY-FOUR THE to CQIVIMENT 1927: Ijitffgggg gmt' 1886 we stood tenth in the United States for hog meat packing, and in 1900 our population had reached the 14,000 mark. In the period 1900 to the present there has been considerable indus- trial expansion. Large interests, attracted by the cheap electrical power, have established themselves at Keokuk and by their presence have helped the city considerably. In the years directly following 1900 there was much agitation about a hydro-electric plant to be situated at Keokuk. This movement was Hnally successful and in 1911 work was started on the power house and dam. These were finished in 1913 and are at present one of the chief sources of Keokuk's wealth. This cheap source of electricity encouraged many factories to locate at Keokuk, and these industries are growing rapidly owing to the natural advantages of the locality. Much more could be written about Keokuk and the progress that it has madeg much could be said of the people and their spirit and progres- siveness, without impressing those who have never lived here. But to those who Keokuk is more than a spot on the map, no more need be said. To them, Keokuk is home and the best little town on the map.

They put on several pep parades, which helped to advertise the football games. Because of various activities, they did not hold their annual carnival. Yell-Leaders A large number tried out for the honored position of yell leader in September. From these the student body elected Paul Smith, Harry Daughrity, George Collisson, Victor Brown, Doris Schouten, and Veta Hutcherson. This group chose Paul Smith as its captain to carry on suc- cessfully the year's work. Upon the shoulders of these cheer leaders rests the responsibility of keeping pep instilled in the crowd. No one can realize how important this is until he has been on the Hoor during a losing game. Whether rain, snow, hail, or sleet, the yell leaders came out and kept the crowd both pepped up and warmed up. In recognition of their work they were presented with a purple, yell leader's UK. Hereis a yell for the yell leaders: Rah! Yea! Yell Leaders! Yea Purple! Yea White! Yea Keokuk! Fight! Fight! Fight! The String Quartette The String Quartette was a new organization this year. This is the first quartette of its kind in K. S. H. S. They played at the glee clubs' concert, junior high concert, Civic music tea, Keokuk Music club, and at the state contest at Burlington. The String Quartette was always appre- ciated very much by the audience. The members are: William Yates, first violin. Charles Holbrook, second violin. Dale Carrell, viola.' Bernadine Cooper, cello.

Practical Work was carried on in building scenery, in business and publicity management, in stage decoration, and in methods of advertising. Penrod, the Well-known children's play, by Booth Tarkington, was given on November 19, 1926. At Christmas time, two one-act plays, The Florist Shop and The Vanishing Princessf' were presented. On March 10, 1927, Bah, by Edward Childs Carpenter, was given. The Dramatic Club served faithfully for all these productions. Two social affairs have been ejoyed b ythe members, and they look forward to a picnic in the spring. Ada Burton's Alma Mater is Grinnell College, where she received her B. A. degree. The Keo-High Dramatic club has had one of its most successful years under her most capable direction. Miss Burton is also a senior class and Philomathean society advisor.

Our Hkid brothers were certainly Well portrayed by Penrod, Sam, Herman, and Verman. The other characters did excellent work also. A play of this type had not been given for a long time by the students of the high school. The Dramatic club deserves much praise and special mention for the success of the production.

Most of the characters were well known, as they had appeared in other high school productions. The whole cast showed splendid talent. Delmon Kean was, as usual, Very good in his portrayal of the harassed father. Ina Scotten as the petted daughter of wealth, and Adam Smith as the family man both expressed their parts well. William Brown, George Collisson, and Alice Schaefer added a clever comedy note. The Whole play contains interesting plots with more interesting results.

Today a kind, motherly-looking woman stopped me on the street and, handing me a penny, said: Here little boy, take this and buy yourself a nice all-day sucker. Needless to say, I refused with much dignity. This is only one of the many instances of the embarrassment my small stature has caused me. WILLIE. It was a bitterly cold morning and my usually trusty Ford had balked on me. I had stepped on the starter, cranked, and cussed it-but all with no success. I applied all the knowledge my excellency in physics provided, but the engine refused to turn over. When I was nearly tempted to kick it to pieces, one of my former pupils drove up and inquired concerning my predicament. I told him that the d- - bk Pk it ? ? ? I thing wouldn't start. He looked inside the car and, bestowing a pitying glance on me, said: It's customary to turn on the ignition, when you want to start a car. Was I embarrassed? Well, I guess, for I had barely passed him in physics. Moral: 'fPractice what you preachf, P. M. BAIL. My secret passion is for chewing gum. You wouldn't believe it, would you? During one of my free periods, I was sitting in solitude, practicing diligently how to crack', my gum. I was so absorbed in this delightful pastime that I forgot all else. After an indefinite period of time, hearing a discreet cough, I looked up to see two of my N. T. girls standing in the room gazing at me with sur- prised and shocked expressions on their faces. I'm afraid the reputation of having unassailable dignity is threatened to be destroye-d. MAUDE NELSON. My motto is for used to bej, Anything for resultsf, Since my pupils didn't ever seem to use their Spanish outside of class, I decided to teach them how to cuss in that language. I told them that Vaya al diable meant Go to the devil. Even this failed to take effect, for they listlessly repeated Vaya al diablef' I told them to imagine someone persisted in entering the room, when they were already occupied, and asked them if they finally wouldn't become desperate and energetically and lustily yell at the intruder, Go to the devil l 1 I I l Just as I hurled my malediction at the door, Mr. Davis entered!

As Witness an old apple tree-a mere roadside distortion, gnarled, Warped, Wind-riven, twisted of branch, pic- turesquely draped With moss, presented itself, graced meagerly With half convalescent foliage. Yet,--even now it stretched one sturdy ten-inch bough over the road, tufted with luxuriant pink and White blossoms that, as they passed, charged the air With delicate, elusive fragrance.

Miss Helen Haubert, a student at Stevens College, Columbia, Missouri, and an alumna of K. H. S., directed the play, showing her excellent ability as a director. All the characters ofthe cast were former students of K. H. S., excepting Mr. Davis. Delmon Kean as the husband, and Helen Hammat as her husband's wife, are recent graduates of K. H. S., and both took leading roles in high school productions. They portrayed their parts exceedingly Well and with pep. Ruth Blondett showed the jealous wife in every action and word. Inez Hutcherson and Walter' Helms, as the maid and Irenels brother, respectively, also portrayed their parts in fine style. And Mr. Davis! Can anyone imagine him ever being afraid of a mere individual and hiding behind a woman? Mr. Davis certainly was the comedian through and through. Miss Haubert and her cast showed the line ability of K. H. S. students. Later in the year the Lions' Club presented K'Her Husband's Wifell in the high school auditorium, with the same cast, but under the direction of Miss Ada Burton. ONE HUNDRED FOUR 1926 BANQUET, THE ALUMNI o Z ru '11 c: Z U su sn :J E 4 F: RTW THE .COMMENT 1922 Ajiagg .a1wiifeLg3P'f' Alumni Banquet More than three hundred Ugradsl'-old and new, gathered about the festive board in the new gym on the evening of December 13. It was an inspiring spectacle, enlivened by reminiscence, wit, and eloquence. The center of attraction was Miss Emma Estes of the class of '76, who in point of time was the senior alumnus present. Her recollections of the primitive days in K. H. S. added much to the interest and merriment of the occasion. e iFT:The banquet, the gueHsTgHh auditorium, and as the annual classes, commencing with 1872, were called, the members stepped forward amid the applause of the assembly. If it was conceived as an age-revealing scene, it Worked beautifully. The feminine grads were caught completely unaware. q The banquet was bountiful and excellently served, and was followed by a mostvinteresting and entertaining program. It had been the hope of the sponsors that the meeting might result in a permanent alumni organization, and the banquet made an annual affair, but, owing to lack of time, this was deferred to a later date. The need of such an organiza- tion was emphasized by the speakers, and will doubtless soon be realized. At the conclusion of the program the Hbanquetersl' adjourned to the auditorium and enjoyed Her Husband's Wife. lt was a great night for the old grads ! T E. W. MCMANUS. ONE HUNDRED SIX THE Comnliwr 122-1 Qgagjg Zin jlillemuriam Our dear friend and schoolmate, Lucille Reuter, has passed on. Her death in her senior year, amid the festive plans for commencement, came as a great blow to the class. Struggling under the powerful handicap of ill-health, she attempted to continue her studies, with the goal of graduation so near. Ever cheerful and brave, with a sunny smile and a pleasant word for every- one, little did we realize that she was destined to be taken from us. What strength of character and sheer nerve it must have taken to keep up her courage, when her physical strength Was so weakened. The joyful graduation days of the senior class will be saddened by the memory of its departed member. When time who steals our years away Shall steal our friends too, The mem'ry of their life will stay And half our joys renew. -Moore.

T TOM JORDAN. The Cat That Dared When the O'Brien's had produced a radio, the old-fashioned Victrola was moved to Henry's bedroom. Henry, a tall, lazy lad of some fifteen years, had no complaint about the alteration. ln fact he was rather pleased, for it often furnished him entertainment. One particular night he was very tired, having practiced basketball some hours before. ln the brief space of three minutes he had dropped into the atmosphere of slumber. ln this condition he remained until about one o'clock in the morning, when he was rudely awakened by hearing that old familiar melody, 'flVlary Lou. He at first thought he was being serenadedg but no, the music was too close for that. As he raised himself half way out of bed, he realized it was the Victrola. Who had-? He lay there in dumb horror, until he picked up the nerve to switch on the light, just in time to see a tar- Qhaj-black tail wind itself out of the doorway.

Nevertheless, service today is one of the chief assets of a Wide-awake retail business. The worthiness of a store as a shopping center may be safely judged by the kind of service it gives. Inferior quality goods and superior service cannot be found in the same store. Service means not only attentive, efficient salespeople, but values that provide reliable quality and worthwhile savings. This kind of service is found in this store. It is the kind you will find here each time you call. G S N I I I I Pat, the Irish hod carrier, had just fallen two stories and covered himself with mor- . tar.
