GEORGE E. DAVIS Principal of Senior High School Ode to Mr. Davis and Miss Solomon Hail to our chiefs Who with Wisdom have led us, Safe through the years that We've spent here in K. H. S.g Who taught us how, in their great, kindly manner, To enjoy the school days from September to June. They Were our friends from the very beginning, When we entered as Sophs, bashful and shy, Helping the lost who from classrooms had wandered, Clearing so often our cloud-laden sky. Stern Were their orders, to Wrong-doing classmates- Stern, but so kindly that each tried his best To keep -the escutcheon of K. H. S. White and stainless By obeying all orders, and so helping the rest. HARRIET SOLOMON Assistant Principal Dean of Girls Instructor of Mathematics Friend and Advisor of All DR. R. L.

NORMAN I Svvninrn EIGHT THE COMMENT 1929 ClassPoem lnside a sheltered and shady place Protected and enshrouded by surrounding trees, Bubbles forth a stream, full of joyous grace, Gently blown about by the light summer breeze. lt pauses, as if, before its wild chase Some ungovernable power had laid hold thereong Nothing but gladness reflecting from its bright face, It finally goes out where many others have gone. The little stream goes on, not content, Eager to behold the great wide world, Through the green countryside its course is rent, A great panorama is before its eyes unfurled. On! Ever onward! The goal is nigh! Stopping for no barriers no matter how great, Its waters along the confining banks run high, Eager its desire of conquest to sate. So, as we Lifels great river broad, Going ever onward where others have trod, May we live by His greatness, o'er awed, And seek to please the will of our God.

THIRTY THE COMMENT. 1929 Achievement Today the sky is clearer, The sunshine is more bright, The future never rosier seemed- We graduate tomorrow night. Let's stop to think before We go Andfour decision make, When guiding hands are quite Withdrawn, The course that We shall take. There are always some who prefer the shade, Too languid the race to run, And dreaming, enjoy the cool retreat Which another's Work has done. When the World goes Wrong and all seems lost, And the gamut of fortune 'most run, Only those survive Who are strong and brave, For they've taken their place in the sun. lt's not who you Were, it's what you did, That counts when your life is doneg And contentment grows and happiness comes If your goal has been fairly Won. By GLEN VANDYKE.

Glenn Koch wills his long lost desire to be an aviator to a feather- weight and an ideal pilot, Roy May. Loreta Krichel and Alice Branson will their eagerness to recite to John Azinger and Francis Bevering. John Cameron and Kenneth Moon will their pipes to Kirk Baker and Albert Fuerst.

Azalene Freeman wills the poems she has written to Gerald Gilbo, who is quite interested in poems, we think.

Isabelle Breitenbucher and Allen Nelson leave their bright hair to boys and girls who frequently get lost in the dark.

Irvin Moander wills his power to make announcements interesting to Frank Kennedy, whom we may be able to learn in time. THIRTY-THREE THE COMMENT, 1929 Daisy Armentrout wills her hard-boiled disposition to Margaret Anderson, who is entirely too easy. T The high school artists, Merle Walker and Earl Thoeny, will their models to Roy Dickenson and John Peterson. We're not afraid of Mr. VVright, says Violet Alston and Dorothy Ayer, but oh Mr. Dodl Such brave girls. Their braveness they will to Pauline Eyman and Helen Curry. As for Mr. Dod, we can't blame you for being afraid. Glen Van Dyke wills his methods of reciting chemistry and at the same time amusing the class to John Duerkop, who will no doubt be a heavy contribution to the chemical apparatus fund in the future. Jewell VVineiger leaves his Rudolph Vasaleno hair to Bob Whiteside, who just can't make his shine. Joe Nate Wood's ability to make a hit with the Freshmen and post- graduate girls he wills to Charles Schultz.

FURTY THE COMMENT 1929 Course It's So A school may have its Seniors, And its Sophomores great and small, Its green and tiny freshmen, Who are in the way of all. But there's something that a high school Can never do without: lt's Juniors. Sure, that's so. Why, the school would be as dead as death, There'd be no fun at all, And the teachers,-they'd all be glum- Iust wander through the hall. For a Junior is like a color bright, l tell you, 'cause I know. Oh, how you'd miss us-yes, you would! Why, you know it's so. The Juniors are just naturally Happy as a bright spring bird. They'll laugh and talk and say the funniest Things you ever heard. They're every bit of life that's here, Theylve not a single foe! Everyone's a jolly Junior's friend! 'Fess up l--of course itls so. What'd you do if all of us- I mean each Junior chum- Should all go way and not come back? Oh, yes, you'd miss us some. Just think! No Juniors, none at all. So make old Keokuk High go! Where to? Oh, moving on, I mean. You'd miss usl True, that's so. Whois your friend when everything Looks so wretched and gray, And nothing seems to be quite right- Nothing you do or say?

Of course We had to become acquainted with the teachers and the building, but we soon became accus- tomed to everything and proceeded to show our upper classmen something. Our social functions were limited this year, so there is very little history to record. We elected oflicers during the second semester, as follows: President ..... Q .... -v- Jack Mullikin Vice-President eeee.e,. he el-Iarold Semple Secretary ,e.,e,,ceecee, c, William Walker Treasurer ............. .... G erald Cook FORTY-SIX THE COMMENT 1929 Sophomore Mer1ts Some snappy, Serious, Studious, Original, Gmnipotent, Orderly, Penpy, Polite, Pretty, Humorous, Honest, Handsome, Open-hearted Obliging, Otlicient, Nlighty, Nlusical, Moral, Outspoken, Obeclicnt, Optimistic, Robust, Respectable, Royal, Eager, Enthusiastic, Energetic, Saucy, Serene, SOPHGMORES THE COMMENT 1929 Sophomores A Sophomore may be either a student or a dumbell. A student classi- Hed as a Sophomore is one who has been in school one year and has earned at least three and one-half credits. A dumbell who is classified as a Sophomore is any person who has been in school any number of years and has by accident or hook or crook raked together three and one-half credits in his favor. A Sophomore is supposed to have mastered the rudiments of algebra and to be equal to wade through the horrible pages filled with dizzy drawings found in a geometry book, but he finds that there are a lot more bumps in this road than he thought. He is supposed to have acquired enough knowledge in English to enable him to write at least a D paper and to be able to tackle the Studies in Grammar, let alone Julius Caesar, or what have you? But he finds that they are abou-t as much upside down to him as he is to a man in a Ferris wheel or a cyclone. lf the man falls out, his head isn't much worse off than the Sophomore's when the Juniors and Seniors get through With him. He is compelled to remain in this for four years. That is why We have such a nice, large class and so much material of different varieties. In assembly we are seated directly in line with Mr. Davis, and all his Wrath descends upon us, because we are nearest to him. So from the start it would seem that a Sophomore is at a great disadvantage. But we have some advantages, too. What does a speaker say when he starts to speak? Why, My good looking friends, or f'My bright- faced audience, et cetera. And at whom is he looking? Why, right at the Sophomores, of course. ln athletics we are quite the bug's ear. Usually the Freshmen do not shine in athletics, but we Sophomores-well-now just what do you think of us? Wasn't the majority of the basketball team and a great part of the football squad made up of Sophomores? They were so fast on the basketball team that you had to guess about two plays ahead in order not to be three behind. Now, considering everything, a Sophomore isn't so badly abused. I think perhaps the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and l'm not sure but that l'd just as soon remain a Sophomore forever. ELIZABETH BISPING. FORTY-EIGHT Artiuitirn THE COMMENT 1929 Football Coach EDVVARD l'I . PURCELL Edward H. Purcell was graduated from blis- souri Valley College, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. He has been the in- structor in hygiene and physical education for boys for four years. He has coached wrestling, and made a wonder- ful success of it. Last year he was the assistant football coach, and was a factor in building up the team. This year as coach he has made an excellent reputation for himself. He trained the team well for the tough battles they had 'to fight, and was 'dd always encouraging and urging them forward. His team is noted and respected for its sportsmanship and clean playing. Eddie Purcell won his way to every boy's heart by kindness. He is universally popular, not only with all the football and wrestling fellows, but with the entire student body. ' Basketball and Track Coach J. C. WRLGHT If there is anyone in K. H. S. who deserves credit, it is Coach Wright. He not only demonstrated his ability by developing a basketball 'team of which we are very proud, but also is respon- sible for developing our winning cross-country team. The ideal of sportsmanship, which was never lacking in the teams produced by Coach W1'ight, figured largely in their success. Mr. VVright has made himself extremely popular with both students and townspeople by being an A-l coach, a good sport, and an all-around booster. lt was Nlr. Wright who initiated and conducted our fine stamp plan for school activities, and made it a success.

W1 ,W 5Hnn1I:ml1 THE COVMMENT 1929 1928 Football Season The nineteen-twenty-eight football season started out with a bang and was the curtain raiser for the Culver-Stockton and Carthage College game. Later We found that this was only indicative of the Weather to follow for our entire' home schedule, and that rain and mud had joined hands in defeating our financial plans as Well as athletic plans. The Macomb-Keokuk game was played at Keokuk on September 29. and was classed as a good football game, regardless of the fact that Keokuk lost by the score of 6-0. . The Quincy-Keokuk game Was played at Quincy on November 5 and gave the first inkling as to the probable power of the Keokuk team as a championship contender. The score for this game was 6-6. A The Burlington-Keokuk game was played at Keokuk on November 13. As in the first game, a sea of mud invited all and sundry to take part in a good' mud bath, and when the game Was over it was found that Bur- lington had beaten Keokuk by a score of 12-0. The Hannibal-Keokuk game came next on the schedule and was the second Conference game to be played. On November 20 the team jour- neyed forth in a big bus and enjoyed the satisfaction of beating Hannibal by the close score of 7-6. The Centerville-Keokuk game was pulled through much mud and water on the Keokuk field, and the Keokuk boys suffered an overwhelming FIFTY-TWO THE COMMENT, 1929 defeat. November 27 will be long remembered by the team of this year as the day on which Centerville was supreme. The score for this game was 30-O. The Mount Pleasant-Keokuk game was played on November 3 on the Playground Field, again in a sea of mud, but with a more fortunate ending than the previous game. Fumbling was in order for both sides and we emerged with a 7-6 victory. The Fort Madison-Keokuk game, as usual, was a battle from start to finish, but before the finish Captain Snively was enabled by his side- stepping and speed to rip through the Keokuk team for six points, the game ending 6-0 in favor of Fort Madison. This was the only Confer- ence game lost by Keokuk during the entire season. On November 17 the Keokuk squad, on that day numbering twenty- four, journeyed to Iowa City to see the lowa City-Wisconsin game. The Ottumwa-Keokuk game was played on the Playground Field with the usual amount of mud and water to be reckoned with. During the first half the Ottumwa team made a touchdown, and from then on until well into the third quarter it seemed as though it might be anyone's game. Keokuk failed to connect when they had three yards to go in four downs, and from then' on Ottumwa reigned supreme, leading victory west- ward by a l9-0 count. Q The Carthage-Keokuk game was played, as usual, on Thanksgiving Day, and revenge was sweet. For several years the Carthage team had been causing the Keokuk squad to lose appetite in the early afternoon, and this year the boys decided to do away with defeat and for once to enjoy a big meal on Thanksgiving evening. The teamwork of Keokuk was almost perfect at times and Keokuk won the game by a score of 18-0. After a hectic season the Keokuk team finished second in the Missis- sippi Valley Conference, and only the loss to Fort Madison marred the Conference record. f FIFTY-THREE . THE COMMENT 1929 Individual Records of Players for 1928 Edman Cook, the stalwart center of the 'LGolden Teamf' played a stellar game throughout the season. He was awarded the center position on the All-Conference-Mississippi Valley team and was rated throughout the Conference as one of the most valuable defensive line men in this section. Cook, being a Senior, finishes his football career this year and is planning on carryin gon his work in some college line in the future. Roland Kutcher, general utility lineman and regular right guard, showed wonderful form in running interference and tackling at times, but has another year in which to win the laurels of the All-Conference selec- tion. Young Kutcher, as he is called, should make a very Valuable lineman in the coming season, and with his versatility should make some one Work mighty hard to oust him from the right guard position. FIFTY-FOUR ' THE CQOMMENT, 1929 Albert Fuerst, playing his second year as guard, holding the distinc- tion of being one of the few to win his letter in his Freshman year and having repeated the performance in his Sophomore year, should make a wonderful player next year. Fuerst gained recognition in the Hannibal game as a man who gets his man. Despite his size, he is a hard tackler and, if he so wills, will be an outstanding player in his two remaining years. Albert received honorable mention on the All-Conference team. Amos Law, started out the season in good form and handled his size in a business-like manner as a left guard. Amos, being a Senior, leaves us this year and his passing will be regretted. Elmer Alberts, known as 'fJud, has developed into the ideal type of tackle. Ranging somewhere over six feet and with an instinctive love for the game, he plays for all there is in him, and, with two more years of competition left, should rate as one of the best tackles in the Confer- ence next year. Jud was picked as tackle on the second All-Conference team. FIFTY-FIVE COMMENT 1929 Robert McQuay, with his rangy physique, earned his first football letter this year and proved himself to be a real scrapper. Quak leaves us this year 'through graduation and hopes to pit his fight against some college line in the near future. McQuay gained recognition in being awarded honorable mention on the All-Conference team. Dick Higby, the third of the rangy trio, played a fearless game at tackle. Dick graduates this spring and goes into other lines of activity. However, he plans to go to college in the near future and hopes to earn a tackle berth. Dick made honorable mention on the All-Conference team. Allen Nelson, playing the left end position, was one of the most consistent players onthe team. He added much yardage in receiving passes as Well as being very valuable as a passer. Nelson has played his last game for us, being one of the many to graduate this spring. Allen gave some of the boys some mighty stiff competition for a Conference berth. , FIFTY-SIX THE COMMENT 1929 Glen Van Dyke, the diminutive end, weighing only one hundred and twenty-three pounds, was a constant threat to any team that we opposed. He usually managed to connect with most of the fumbles made by the opponents and proved himself to be a good receiver of passes. Glen developed into a punter of no mean ability, outpunting his opponents in each game. This little Senior deserves a great deal of credit for making such a record and overcoming his handicap in size by a determination which is worthy of praise. William Howell played a good game at quarter as well as being able to hit the line. Last year Bill was called upon to play fullback, but when the call came this year to function at quarterback he answered the call in good shape. Bill is among the Seniors to leave this year and hopes to play on some college eleven next year. Howell was given honorable men- tion on the All-Conference team. Fay Reed, rated as the fastest back in the Conference, was a constant threat to all teams. He was at his peak in the Carthage game, scoring two touchdowns behind perfect interference. Fay leaves us this spring through graduation. Reed was picked on the second All-Conference team. Leroy Humble, classed as one of the best backs in this section and winning a position on the first All-Conference eleven, will be a great loss to the school through graduation. Leroy, being a left-handed passer, a left-booted kicker, plus the ability to skirt ends and plunge the line, was as near a triple threat man as we encountered all season. His passes were almost as accurate in the mud as on a dry field. Humble was a good receiver of passes and showed good judgment when called upon to act as quarterback. Charles Kamps, the Freshman back, showed wonderful possibilities as a backfield man. He deserves much recognition for having faced the large group out for the position and without experience to come through with a letter. Kamps has three more years to serve in this capacity and his possibilities ,of becoming a great backfield man are many. Captain john Cameron will leave us this year after having played a hard driving game at fullback. John was a Hne leader, a hard plunger and a fast sprinter. ln spite of defeats experienced at the hands of some of our opponents, John came back on the Held with the old fight and drive characteristic of a leader. John made the fullback berth on the first All- Conference eleven. We will have four letter men with which to start out the 1929 season. Alberts, Kutcher, Fuerst and Kamps will make up the nucleus around which a team is to be built, and, with several experienced men to back them up, the prospects of a winner are promising. The captaincy of the 1929 team will be decided after the 1929 season has closed. The most valuable player on the team will be chosen by the squad at the end of the season to represent the team in the Annual. FIFTY-SEVEN FIFTY-EIG H'1 THE COMMENT, 1929 Football the fence, We stood and Watched you from The games you fought, a games you Wrought, goals you sought, was called and games The The When time commenced And every time that whistle blew, Our hearts were there, With all 'their care, That we might share Your fate, and help you through.

The Sabiduria. Eankrthnll THE COMMENT, 1929 1 1 DW.- Basketball Season The Keokuk basketball season started off with a bang on December 11, when the Montrose boys came down and after a tough battle scurried home with a 36 to 9 trimming. All of the Keokuk squad played and did themselves credit. Huiskamp led with 18 points, and Buck came next with 10. On December 14 Nauvoo journeyed over to receive a 46 to 8 beat- ing. The diminutive Huiskamp again showed his wares. Keokuk started off with a leap and a bound and was never threatened during the entire game. Huiskamp's eleven field goals and two free throws made him high p'oin-t man. December 18 brought to Keokuk the Mississippi Valley Conference champions of 1927, Canton. This was a hard fought game, but we lost. Canton was good and we couldn't hold them. Jones led the visitors' attack with eleven points to his credit, while his team-mate, Alberty, was right on his trail with nine. Gammon and Huiskamp led the purple attack, while Koch and Roehrig shone in the defense. lt was our first Conference game, but we had another crack at them on their own floor. On January 4 Carthage journeyed here for our second Conference game, which was a 29 to 12 victory for us, giving us a 100 per cent stand- ing. It was a good game, but they didn't have a chance when Gammon and Koch turned their sharpshooting eyes on them. Gammon and Koch tied with ten points each, while Carlton starred for the visitors. Our boys journeyed to Centerville on January 11, and after an all- day train trip the purple Warriors stepped out on the hardwood and admin- istered to the Centerville Miners a heating they will not forge-t soon. SIXTY THE COMMENT 1929 Koch, formerly at guard, started the game at center and turned in a very neat performance. Gammon was the star of the game, and the Miners won't forget the name of Gammon for some time. He piled up fifteen markers to his credit, while Pyfer starred for the Miners. The final score was: Keokuk, 22, Centerville, 20. Once again, on January 16, the Purple tornado struck, and this 'time it was Burlington. The game was looked upon as a practice tilt for the Grayhounds, but when the smoke of battle had cleared away they found they had been handed' a stinging defeat. Huiskamp led the local attack with fourteen points, and Gammon was after him with twelve. The w'ork of Mass and Brooks stood out for the Grayhounds. When the final whistle was blown it was found that Keokuk had piled up 'thirty-seven points to Burlington's twenty-four. The much waited for, hoped for, and looked for victory came on January 18, when lwfadison was sent home with a 22 to 21 defeat. Madi- son never had a chance after the Purple outfit got rolling. It was a tight game, with both teams keyed up to do or die. Koch and Cuthbart were high with nine points each. The game was featured by the clean playing and good sportsmanship shown by both sides. On January 25 we went down fighting to the last ditch. Quincy broke a 16 to 16 tie by making live free throws, and the Purple was never able to overcome this lead. The work of Roehrig was the outstanding feature of the game. It was due to his excellent fioorwork that many of the Purple baskets were made possible. The final score was 18 to 25, in favor of Quincy. The next night Hannibal journeyed here to be beaten. lt was the first overtime game for the Purple this year. However, the score was no proof of the game. The locals outplayed, outguessed and outmatched their opponents in every department of the game. lN1o'ore and Wuedbell of the visitors were lucky in the fourth quarter, first tying the score, then taking the lead. Koch and Huiskamp were the life-savers, the latter sinking the necessary point to tie the game and the former dropping in a beautiful long shot to put the game on ice in the overtime period. At the end of the overtime the score stood 21 to 23, in the Purples' favor. January 29 Keokuk went to Iowa City to tackle the University High. There was just too much in the package labeled Blackmer. The purple- clad warriors went down fighting, but the Iowa City boys were too much for them. Blackmer, the all-state center, accounted for twenty-four of the thirty-five points his team collected. Koch played his usual brilliant game for the Purple and rang up nine markers. The score was 21 to 35. The Centerville Miners had a package delivered to them on February 1, labeled Gammon,'l which proved to be entirely too much for them. ln this encounter the diminutive Purple forward, Gammon, again proved a jinx to the Miners. He sank six field goals and two charity tosses to help his team-mates on to victory. Koch also played a fine game at center. SIXTY-ONE THE COMMENT 1929 Shanahan scored most for the visitors. When the dust of battle had cleared it was found that Keokuk had -the biggest end of score, Which was 29 to 26. The next night we had little trouble in defeating the Carthage boys in a slow game, 29 to 9. The substitutes got in for most of the game and had little difficulty in holding the opposition. Huiskamp for the locals and Carlton for the visitors starred. With all dope set against them, the Purple tornado Went against the Cantonists on February 5, and came out on the long end of the score. Gammon, Koch and Huiskamp scored most for Keokuk, with Maggard and Alberty snagging the most pointers for the enemy. The defensive Work of Roehrig and Kutcher Was another outstanding feature. At the final Whistle the score stood 21 to 12, in K. H. S.'s favor. February 9 Keokuk had little difficulty in turning back Kahoka, 53 to 16. Kahoka never threatened during the entire game. Gammon, Koch and Huiskamp, and in fact the entire team were on a scoring spree. Potts was the visitors' best player. The Purple Went to Hannibal, February 15, expecting a tough game, but experienced little trouble in downing the Pirates by a decisive score. Gammon led the local attack, scoring twenty-two points, alone enough to have beaten Hannibal, While Carr starred for Hannibal. The local sub- stitutes played the greater part of the second half. After the Gammon attack was over it was discovered -that the Purple had piled up forty-four points to the Pirates' twenty-one. The evening after the Hannibal walk-away, We had the pleasure of holding Blackmer, the all-state center, to his lowest score of -the season. This was largely due to the work of Koch and Kutcher, Who were con- tinually on his trail. Meanwhile, Gammon and Koch Were leading the Purple attack, Gammon collecting a total of nine points. The score Was 19 -to 26, in Iowa City's favor. On February 19 once again the Purple ground the Crimson in the dust. Madison never threatened the locals once, being unable to solve the Purple defense. Huiskamp led the attack, sinking a total of ten points. Weddington distinguished himself for the Crimson. The final shot made the score 18 to 11, in our favor. Koch led the locals, February 23, to their second victory of the year over the Grayhounds, starring on both the attack and the defense. It Was a good game, full of thrills and excitement, the score being 33 to 40 in our favor. Koch led the scoring by garnering nineteen points. The last home game of the season Was February 25. ln this the Purple pulled out of the melee with the long end of the score, but not until a tough battle had been fought. The fighting of Mt. Sterling Was to be admired. Gammon and Huiskamp led the Purple with twelve mark- ers for the former, and ten for the latter. Fry and Kennedy starred for the visitors. SIXTY-TWO THE COMMENT 1929 On the morning of March l We played our first Tournament game at Mt. Pleasant with lvlediapolis. The Purple tornado ran through their opponents in easy style, the subs getting in for the entire second half. Winning this game put Keokuk in the semi-finals. Gammon and Koch starred for the Purple, and McDonald for Mediapolis. The score was 23 to 18. That same evening not only did We tramp the Crimson under out feet for the third time this year, but at their expense we entered the finals in the sectional Tournament. Gammon was high point man for Keokuk with sixteen points, and Koch was hot on his heels with eight. The final score Was 33 to 22. On Saturday evening, March 2, We played our last game of the sec- tional and our third game With Burlington. Al-though We put up a real fight and Were working at high speed during the entire game, We lost it and, with it, our chance of getting into the District Tournament. Gammon and Huiskamp played stellar games for the Purple, and Hill led the Gray- hound attack. As the score shows, this was by all means a real game: Keokuk, 32, Burlington, 33. Our team showed wonderful sportsmanship, cooperation, and the best of training through the Whole year. We hope the team has just as good luck next year as this one had this year. SIXTY-THREE THE COMMENT 1929 Basketball Team CAPTAIN GLEN KOCH Teamwork, iight and sportsmanship are three essentials of basketball exhibited by Diz, who closed his high school career this year. Diz's second letter was well earned, as he participated in all of the games played, playing either guard or center with ability and accuracy, and figuring consistently in K. H. S.'s attack. JACK GAMMON, Forward Although one of the midgets on the team, Jack demonstrated his ability by rolling up the largest number of points of the entire squad. Swift in every move, he glided through the opponents' defense with ease and tossed baskets regularly. His eye for free-throws also nettted him many points. Jack starred in many of the games and was always a player of great consistency. He has two more years to go, and looms Kas one of the most valuable men on the squad. JACK ROEHRIG, Guard Playing his first year on the squad, Bubba,' made good with his aggressive style of play. His speed on the floor, combined with his clever passing and shooting, won him much favorable comment as a capable player, and when in the game he took care of his end of the battle. Bubba has two more years. LOGAN HUISKAMP, Forward. This is Loganis first year, and at the rate he went this year there will be no stopping him another. Logan's work was noted for his clean, all-round playing and his ability to find the loop, , six'rY-FOUR ' THE COMMENT, 1929 ROLAND KUTCHER, Guard o MJ Kutch played guard, and by speed and fight he played a good deiensive as well as oiensive game. Much to his credit is the fact that he was a good, speedy, hard fighter, and a good sport. He will be here next year and will be a big asset to the team. ALAN BUCK, Center This was A1an's third year and he will be much missed next year. Morty showed always, under all conditions and trials, the best playing and cooperation pos- sible. There was never a time when he should be at a certain place that he wasn't there. ELMER ALBERTS This was Judd's first year and he came through with flying colors. Judd had the height, and a ball, no matter how high sailing, never got by his hands. Judd did not get into so many games, but next year he will probably have a berth on the first team. CHARLES HOGLE, Forward Doc is a Junior and has one more year to go. He always played a fair, clean game and did his part in all the games he was in. We hope Doc the best of luck next year. - GEORGE LORING, Forward ' George is a Junior this year, having one more year to go. He made a hard fight for a berth on the first team, and next year he should be one of our best players. WILLIAM HOWELL, Guard This was Bil1's third and last year to play on the K. H. S. team. Bill always gave his best and will be missed next year. Good luck, Bill. SIXTY-FIVE THE COMMENT 1929 Atoms The Atoms were a new venture for K. H. S. this year and proved to be very successful, giving many boys who otherwise would not have had an opportunity to play basketball a chance to play and to win a monogram. The team broke about even on its games, winning about six games and losing about the same number. The Atoms showed a great ability for hitting the loop, and some of the players will give those on the first team a hard run for their places next year. All of the team were Sophomores or Juniors, with the exception of one, Glen Van Dyke, who graduates this year. Glen was a hard fighter and a big aid to the team. He will be missed next year. At the close of the season the team met and elected Harold Taylor captain, to show their appreciation to him for all his hard, well-fought games and his steadfast loyalty to his team. Taylor was an all-round good player and could always be counted on to do his share and more. The ability of this team to play and hold its own was due to the excellent coaching of Mr. Wright. It was his idea of forming this second team, and he gave them just as much training as his first team. We hope the Atoms have a most successful year next year.

THE COMMENT, 1929 Cross Country The cross-country team was made up of nine men and Captain Paul Vermillion, who deserves a great deal of credit for his able leadership and fine spirit of sportsmanship. This is Paul's last year and he will be much missed next year. Kenneth West not only made a name for himself, but the team, by winning the individual State Championship at Iowa City. Anson Johnson' made it possible for the team to be champions of three states by placing eleventh in the University of Iowa Interscholastic Meet. Windsor and Hanan both show great ability in all the meets, each making a letter. On October 6 Keokuk and Quincy met at Quincy in a dual meet in which Keokuk carried off all honors. October 12 Keokuk went to Iowa City and lost -to Iowa City by one point. October 20 and 27 Keokuk met Quincy and then Burlington, taking home the 'lbacon in each of these meets. On November 3 Keokuk took first place in Iowa State Meet, and on the 10th, first in Quincy Initiation Meet. The recruits for next year are Bevering, Merrill, Mecum, and Blondet, all of whom will make a name for themselves next year. CRoss COUNTRY SCHEDULE September 20-Keokuk team tryouts.

Every member of the team received a gold medal and a silver cup for the school. SEVENTY THE COMMENT, 1929 Wrestling The Wrestling season of Keokuk High, although limited to three meets, Was very successful in many ways. The physical development was very noticeable in every individual, the development ofindividual compe- tition and self-defense Was much appreciated, and the records made by the team as a Whole were very good. Some members Went -through the season undefeated, giving the less experienced ones something to look forward to for next year in such a feat. The captaining of next year has been left open until the end of the season of next year. Those Who Went out for Wrestling are: Humble Fuller Walker Hanan Ruark Cramer Kelly Johnson Cook Jones Phillips SEVENTY-ONE THE COMMENT 1929 A Yell Leaders A large number tried out for the honored position of yell leader this fall. From the student body were elected the following: Gerald Cook, Cleo Harness, Ruth VanAusdall, Margaret Anderson, John Wollenweber, Clayton Boyd, Charles Langston, Jack Rovane, Charles Hogle. Upon the shoulders of these cheer leaders rests the responsibility of keeping pep instilled in the crowd. No one can realize how important this iseuntil he has been on the Hoorcduring a losing game., Whether rain, snow, hail, or sleet, the yell leaders came out and kept the crowd pepped up and warmed up. In recognition of their work they were presented with a purple yell leader's KT Here's a yell for the yell leaders: Rah! Rah! Yell Leaders! Yea Purple! Yea White! Yea Keokuk! Fight! Fight! Fight! SEVENTY-TWO Munir THE COMMENT, 1929 Chorus The chorus is composed of both girls' and boys' glee clubs. It forms a large group, Which meets every Week. They took part in presenting the operetta, and also in the Mississippi Valley Contest. They are under the capable direction of Miss Pless. Although the public career of the chorus has not been so great this year, they have made much advancement and Worked hard. This is Miss Pless' second year as instructor of or- chestra and glee clubs at K. H. S. She also is a Philo- mathean advisor. Miss Pless received her B. A. degree from the State University of Iowa.

B. degree from that school. Miss Craig teaches history and civics in K. H. S. The Mormons The Mormons crossed from Missouri to Hancock County, Illinois, in 1836. They Hed from their homes in the middle of winter because of the religious intoler- ance of their neighbors. They landed at Quincy and the people treated them kindly and courteously. As they were willing to work for very low wages they found' employment easily. Joseph Smith, a leader of the Mormons, was in jail in Missouri when the people crossed to Illinois, but he soon escaped and, gathering them all together, chose what is now Nauvoo for their city. Soon after their colony Was founded, a great number of people from other parts of this country and from England, Scotland and Wales, who had been converted to the Mormon religion, came there. In 1842 the Morwon population in Hancock County was sixteen thousand. Joseph Smith claimed to have had many revelations One was that they were to build a temple costing a million and a half dollars. The money was wrung out of the people, and every tenth day they Worked on it. But when it was finished it gras claimed tha such a building would not cost over three or four hundred thousand ol ars. When the cornerstone was laid, on April 6, 1841, Chief Keokuk was among those present. Another revelation of Smith's was the taking of spiritual wives, and when the Mormons moved to Salt Lake-City this became one of the doctrines of their church. The people of Hancock County soon realized that they had done wrong in wel- coming the Mormons. As they gave practically all their money to the church, they began making raids on nearby farms for cattle, horses and grain. One man who had suffered much in this way went to Nauvoo to protest to Smith in person. After an interview with him, Smith excused himself, and the man, on entering the streets, was surrounded by six men who immediately proceeded to Whittle him out of town. Being unarmed, he fled for his life, and he never received a penny for the things he had been robbed of. Finally the people of Carthage and Warsaw collected troops and determined to drive the Mormons out of the state. After much difficulty they succeeded in arresting Joe Smith and his brother, Hiram, and they were confined in the Carthage jail. Joe was shot from Within as he started to jump out of a window. The people of Hancock County were then afraid that the Mormon legion would come for their vengeance, but they, now that their leader was dead, were ready to Hee themselves. For part of one day an open conflict was carried on in Nauvoo, but the Mormons were defeated, and signed a treaty, agreeing to leave the state as soon as they could cross the river. This they did, and sold their houses for a horse and wagon, crossed the Mississippi on the ferry, and started their long journey Westward for Salt Lake City, Where many of them are today. Lucy Marsh. Miss Meridith was graduated from Monmouth College, Where she received her A. B. degree. Miss Merideth has been on the K. H. S. staff as instructor in history six years.

A. degree, as her Alma Mater. The Keo- High Dramatic Club has had a most successful year under her able direction. Miss Burton teaches English and speech. K. H. S. Dramatics Under the supervision of Miss Burton, there has been an increasing interest taken in dramatics through the last two years. Miss Burton has shown her ability as dramatic teacher by producing some of the best all high school plays given in years. The plays given this year by the Senior High School were the two three-act plays, Captain Applejackn and The Patsy. The drama class, which studies the history of drama and the production of plays, put on several one-act plays for the benefit of the student body. These plays developed the dramatic ability of the students who took part. The declamatory section gives opportunity to develop stage presence, dramatic ability, interpretation and many other factors which are invalu- able to stage success. The extemporaneous speaking contest, which is to be held April Z, 1929, is the first of a series of contests which lead to a state champion- ship. Our home contest has as participants all the members of the speech class and any other high school students who wished to enter. The winner of the home contest will represent the Senior High in the next of the series. Each year a one-act play contest is held at Iowa City. Last year there were about fifteen schools entered. We gave Nevertheless as our production. Credit is due to the cast, William Brown, Alice Beach, and George Collison, for their hard work and interest in making it a success and for trying to win -the prize. This year we will present The Fifteenth Candle as our 'One-act play. The cast includes Clayton Boyd, Jack Rovane, Hilda Jacobi, hfargaret Patterson, and Elizabeth Bisping.

Jack Rovane as the father and john iWollenweber and Edward Arvidson as the two young suitors played their parts most admirably. The plot was that of the younger sister, who felt she always had to take what was left and who suddenly decides to show all she can have her share of things. This she does, and wins the man she loves, and all ends well. EIGHTY-SIX THE COMMENT, 1929 Are You a Mason? 'LAre You a Mascara was one of those delightful farces that are always fresh. A mother and a daughter had husbands who, on account of absences from the joint households on frequent evenings, falsely apre- tended to be Masons. Neither knew each other's duplicity and each tells his Wife of having advanced to leadership in his lodge. Complications arise, one card wrongly placed and the whole thing would collapse. But as all good plays must end happily, everything was cleared up to the happi- ness and enjoyment of all. Mr. Wrighit more than made himself famous in the roll of Nlr. Perry, the young husband, who, to please his wife and mother-in-law, was to join the Masons, but forgot to do so. Mr. Dod as George Fisher, and also as the French milliner, certainly was a first-class girl and actor. Miss Poole and Miss Brockman as the two wives more than distin- guished themselves, and Mr. Carrell as the father-in-law of Mr. Perry was excellent. Mr. Kirby as the farmer from up state, and Mrs. Kirby and Violet Sells as the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bloodgood, Mrs. Dimond as Lottie, the maid, Ike Younker as the policeman, and lVlr. Solwedel all played their parts exceptionally well. Miss Pless as the farmer's Wife and Mr. Kaut as the actor portrayed their parts splendidly. If asked, Who was the best? it would be impossible to answer, as all the parts were so capably taken. The faculty play was sponsored bythe Lion's Club of our city. ElGHTY-SEVEJ THE COMMENT 1929 Declamatory Contestants A real interest was shown in declamation Work by the eleven students who entered the contest this year. Out of these eleven, only six spoke in the home contest on January 31. Glen Linquis-t Won first in the oratorical class with his selection, The lniluence of the United States on Permanent Peace. John Wollenweber Won in the dramatic division With UThe Bish-op's Candlesticks, and Clay- ton Boyd took first in the humorous section, speaking Guggenstein and His Green Anchelf' These three Winners entered in the state preliminary contest at Montrose on February 26. At Montrose, john Wollenwebei' Won Hrst in dramatic and Clayton Boyd humorous. Then these two contestants journeyed to Burlington for the sub-district contest, Where they both fell, after much debate, to second place, Burlington carrying off the first honors. K. H. S. is proud of her declamation Work this year, andhopes the contestants of next year the best of luck. EIGHTY-EIGHT THE COMMENT 1929 A Senior's View of the Faculty I would tell you a tale of our faculty Could I perchance get you to see The different things they do and say. So harken, people, to my lay! Magister, quantas calamitas! Nly word! l hear Miss Nethery cry. ln the Spanish Club, the long patient grace of That sweet little teacher is tried. See the long line waiting! Oh, can it be They wait and wait for admission blanks? So near Violet and yet-so far- But getting one, each nods his thanks. One would like now to know how a boy could get lnto class without Kirby's 0. K. You all know Miss Poole is Hamlet's friend! And such good staff members has she to sway. Mr. Gill many hints 'n good advice might give To students in matters of bonds or stock, Megchelsen's advice to the very young ls L'Bye low, bye low-and rockf' lVlr. Wright is the king of the chemistry lab.- While coach a light occupation holds. Dod reigns in math, physics and so, And Loefller teaches angles, squares and molds. Using monstrous words in the History class, Miss Craig all in vain does try Thus to teach the classes about wars and such, And Miss Merrick meanwhile shows us how to dye. ln our Pless-ant music welre way off pitch, At least so our director says- Accelerate with me, she sings-oh, dear! How oft we try-till nearly dead! And do you know how chic the exhibits are ln Miss Zika's typing-class display? Our Mr. Paulson flivvers the country lround, And keeps the boys after school to go riding l'm told. I should like to tell a few things more- The bugs Miss Reeder searches for, But the 'lskeleton in Miss Evert's closet might, oh, Perchance hop right out through the door! ln English Miss Brockman talks, Miss Burton has the public speaking class, Miss Merridith endeavors with dignity The Seniors to inflate, enmasse. Miss Solomon is the Dean of girls, And writes admission slips for fun Mr. Purcell's the coach of the 'llightweight crew This said, Mr. Davis, my tale is done. DAISX' ARMENTROUT. E,GHTY.N,NE THE COMMENT 1929 Helpers There are a few students in K. H. S. who do work that does not attraot attention, but for which they should get some praise. These stu- dents are steady, eager to help, and are always right on the job, and We are very grateful to them for taking the responsibility of this necessary Work. g Evalyn Carney is the bookkeeper for all the high school activities. Several thousands 'of dollars of activity money have passed through her accounts during the past year. Honesty, earnestness and accuracy are Evalyn's strong points. It's Tuesday afternoon, eighth period, and Henry Swanson, that round, sunny-faced lad, is on the job looking after the school savings bank accounts. Henry is one hundred per cent responsible, and We pre- dict that he will be a bank president some day. Many students in our high school have made personal budgets and are keeping account of the money they receive and spend. Margaret Blondet and Margaret Meister have compiled, at the end of each month, the data submitted by the students on the sources and uses of their income. We expect Margaret and Margaret to be members of Herbert Hoover's force of statisticians before his term of oHice expires. NINETY Gbrgzxnizzrtiuna THE COMMENT 1929 NINETY-TWO Mildred Everts received her B. A. degree from Iowa State Teachers' College. This is Milss Everts' first year as gym and hygiene instructor in K. H.

THE COMMENT. 1929 The Girls' Athletic Association was organized in January, 1925, to sponsor all girls' activities and to raise the physical and moral status of the school. This year the activities have included several parties as Well as inter- class round robin tournaments in volleyball, soccer, basketball, and base- ball. Honors Were divided this year, for the Juniors Won the volleyball and the soccor, While the Seniors Won the basketball tournament cup. Later an interclass track meet Will be held. Something new was started this year which it is hoped will be success- ful. Ninth grade girls are allowed to become members and Work under our point system with Seniors and Juniors coaching under the advisor, Miss Everts. This gives the girls that are interested experience in phys- ical education Work, as does the managering of high school sports.

The Philos always receive many Sophomores as members, vvholhelp to make this group a peppy one. Miss Loeffler is teacher of geometry and Philomathean advisor at K. H. S.

The success this year is due not only to the officers of the organiza- tion, but to the enthusiastic Faculty advisors, Miss Brockman, Miss Reeder, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Kirby. The year will be closed by a picnic at Lakeview. Bernice Brockman received her B. A. degree from Central College and her M. A. degree from Columbia University. Miss Brockman is Pierian advisor and is on K. H.

Since Artie Whitely has followed the advice of Horace Greeley and gone West, the job of supervising has fallen on Eddie Purcell and the oflicers of the club. Fun, food, fellowship, and line programs are enjoyed by the boys at their meetings. These Keo Hi-Y members scrap over dessert and rustle the buns in unheard-of numbers at their Weekly meetings in the high school cafeteria. NINETY-SIX THE COMMENT 1929 Artie Whitely Artie, loved by all, has been in Keokuk for six years and has spent every minute of these six years in aiding the school and :the Whole com- munity. The Winning basketball teams of K. H. S. have really been made possible by Mr. Whitely's untiring efforts put forth 'on developing young cage men from raw material. He spent hours training young boys who when in high school school made Winning teams. Last year Artie,' taughft for a time in Mr. Purcell's place, the latter being sick. At this time Artie,' Won the hearts of not only the boys, Whose he didn't already have, but also the hearts of the girls. In the faculty play he made a hilt with all, both old and young. It is much to everyone's regret that they see Artie leave for Everett, Washington, Where he has accepted a position in the Y.H We all hope Artie the best 'of luck, and know that he Will be loved by all. NINETY-SEVEN THE COMMENT, 19.29 Klicketv Klick Klub The Klub Was organized in 1924 for the purpose of promoting interest in the typing contests held every spring, and to promote good fellowship and social feeling in the commercial department. lt was the Klub that first started the Senior High School paper, the Broadcast They published it until the end of the semester, when a journalism class was organized and took this Work upon itself. Last year, at the close of the school year, a picnic was held at Bluff Park. This year our first frolic Was a Christmas party, and the second a Washington's birthday banquet. Both good times? We hope! Election of officers was held directly after the latter event, and those chosen Were: Marguerite Pfaffe ---om ...a....a..a..a President Ruth Krueger aa........aaa..a.aa Vice-President Cleo Harness a,g.....a..aa,a..aaT,aaa Secretary Rose Pfaffe n.aaaa..a..aaaa..aaaaaa.

Treasurer The Spanish Club started off this year with a meeting in the Spanish room at the call of our new teacher and sponsor, Miss Neithery. l'El Circulo Castellanan is an organization -of Spanish students in Keokuk High School which was begun in the fall of 1926. This club has had many good times during the school year, although it does not have a large mem- bership. At the first of the year a picnic was held at Lakeview. Then, during the Christmas season, another party was held in the music room. The Spanish Club has enjoyed all these good times and has helped in showing that there is more in taking Spanish than merely going to class and learning daily lessons. This is Miss Nethery's second year at K. H. S. She teaches Latin and Spanish and is advisor to El Circulo Castellano. Miss Nethery received her A. B. degree from Friends University at Wichita, Kansas. , , NINETY-NINE THE COMMENT 1929 The Quill and Scroll The Quill and Scroll, honorary society for high school journalists, was founded at the University of Iowa April lO, 1926. lts purpose is to pro- mote better journalism in high school and to instill in the students the ideal of scholarship.

Miss Reeder received her A. B. degree from the State University of Iowa. Biology Qlheeequ-ipmerrefor Biology is adequate not only for experiments over foods, but also for microscopic work. The aquarium and germina- tion room give opportunity for observations of living forms. The Biology course oilered in Senior High permits a Wide study of plant and animal life. Practical application is made by a study of Keokuk industries using plant and animal life. The course is one much enjoyed by all who take it, and all feel that they can make a very practical use out of the knowledge they gain. ONE HUNDRED TWO THE COMMENT. 1929 C. L.

Robert McQuay William Howell - The other charter mem Alan Buck Wilbur Cook Frank Hayden Leroy Humble Anson Johnson ONE HUNDRED SIX bers are: President ---- Vice-President - ----- Secretary Treasurer Henry Kelly Amos Law Allen Nelson Karl O'Bleness Wilford Windsor THE COMMENT, 1929 High School Slang Did you ever go to high school and hear English as she is spoke PI' VVell, it is an education in itself to see and hear how 'the high school student twists and distorts the English language into catch phrases which best suits her own needs. The journalism class is on the warpath against slang, but its crusades do not always turn out successfully. Instead of calling a person by her name, you call her kid or f'honey, and hi takes the place of bellow on the street. You Hnd that the superintendent is called a bird, The teachers are referred to as owls, and even the principal is called a Hsweet old duckief' Now, this does not mean that the average high school faculty is taken from the feathered trible of animals, but the students must nickname their expo- nents of knowledge, and that is the way in which they do it. The night before exams, you hear weary-eyed and haggered-faced seekers of knowledge talking about cracking a book all night. They really do not intend to hack up a book with a hatchet or some other sharp weapon, but they mean that they will try to get a semester's work in a few hours. You often hear an experience described as thrilling and a thing described as darling, adorable, or cute. In fact, cute is a favorite expression and it is used to describe anything from golf courses to tea cakes. A textbook is apt to be a perfect dumb-dora, even though the authorihas spent years of his lift in frantically searching for the knowl- edge to put into it. Young men become dates and are a main topic of conversation on Sunday nights. Your fellow sufferers consider you a prize dumbbell if you prefer to spend your few hours of leisure in the library instead of in the halls or on the street. On the other hand, your teachers consider you a 'fprize dumbbell if you do not live in the librasy-so there you are. That just about makes the average student a Hprize dumbbell under all circum- stances. Only in classrooms do you hear of quantities spoken of in terms of correct English. In the halls, a quantity of any kind is expressed as a gob. Therefore, you love your crush just 'fgobs, or you eat 'fgobsn of candy, sometimes both at the same time. just what a crush means is known only to the high school student, but it does not mean anything mashed or mutilated in any Way. When the postman brings a letter he is a precious, adorable hing, but when he doesn't, then he is a big goof.,' You can't exactly explain what a goof is, because a 'fgoofu is just a goof and that is all there is to it. High school life even has a language of its own besides its slang. You hear such phrases as Hwhatta ya doin'? g didja see th show las nite ? and where ye goin', honey chile ? Yeah is substituted for yes and uhuh is used for no. My school chum just asked me if I had my chemistry theme finished, and I replied- yeah, A SENIOR.

HUNDRED SIXTEEN THE COMMENT, 1929 Autographs Who I Am Where I Live ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN THE COMMENT 1929 Autographs Who I Am Where I Live ONIE HUNDRED EIGHTEEIX THE,COMMENT. 1929 By Way of Introduction Every section has its purpose, An underlying mo-tif, one said, The only reason for this section Is its hopes of getting read. For it's the llavoring of the pudding, The mint that's sprinkled on the roas-tg lt's the chili and the pepper, And the Cinnamon on the toast. We don't Want to be sarcastic, We don't Want to hurt or pain, We just want to add some color To the rainbow through the rain. All We say will be in frolic, All the Words are picked With care, We have tried to avoid such damage That any smile cannot repair. We may have tampered With your surname, And camouflaged your youthful lines, But this section has its purpose, To even those it now maligns. So turn these pages with a chuckle, If you can laugh that much at naught, Then you'll be happy and We'll be happy, And We'll laugh together-laugh a lot. ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN T1-IME COMMENT 1929 These few lines are to express the appreciation of the staff to those who have so liberally given us their advertisementsg to Mr. Anschutz, our photographerg to Jahn 81 Ollier Engraving Corn- panyg to Scott-Edwards Printing Companyg to the teachers and to the students who have helped us in the compiling of material for THE COM- MENT. The cooperation that the entire staff has given me since the work was first started on THE COMMENT has made the Work a delight. The business manager's and soliciting mana- ger's task has been especially hard, and no effort or time has been spared on their part to complete it successfully. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.
