We hope that we have achieved our goal. g DEDICATION To the Former Teachers and Alumni of Kirkwood High School we, the K-Log Staff of 1940, dedicate this third volume of the annual to show our ap- preciation to those who have had the foresight and optimism to make this school a better institution for the oncoming generations. FOREWORD We, the K-Log Staff of 1940, have endeavored to perpetuate pictorially through this book, those scenes, classmates, and events that have made our four years in high school so en- joyable. By our alumni pictures we have tried to recall fifty years of pleasant memories to those who, like ourselves, have graduated from Kirk- wood High School. We hope that we have achieved our goal. .X KIRKWOOD TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL QS? Qfgaikwg Q' FIFTY YEARS OF PROGRESS 'The sites of the present school buildings in, Kirkwood were donated for school purposes to Young America, as Kirk- wood was known until 1872, by David Irvine, and A. G. Kirk- patrick. We have been unable to determine the exact date, but it was presumably not long after the C. B. Q Q. Rail- road was built through here in 1855, and not long after the prairie was surveyed for a village site, that the gift of land was made. The first school in the village was taught by David Abbey, and according to old residents was conducted in a room over the elevator. . The first school building was built on the site where the present high school building stands. At present it is being used as a farm.mechanics building and is an old land mark, for we are told it is one of the oldest buildings now standing in Kirkwood. In a few years this building was much too small, so on August 28, 1866--the school directors met and agreed upon a tax levy of two and two-thirds per cent with which to erect another school building on the north side of town, This building was completed and occupied by October 1867, with a total enrollment in both houses of two hundred and twenty- five. The north building was built at an approximate cost of three thousand dollars. It was a four-room, two-story wooden frame building with two narrow stairways which years later were torn out and replaced with one wide stairway. Both, north and south buildings, continued in use but no part of the school was spoken of as a high school until 1889.Thc school principal, G.C.Claybaugh, and school direc- tors decided to add subjects which would permit a formal graduation. The following subjects constituted the senior course,for the first graduation, viz: arithmetic, geometry, composition, physiology, and philosophy. , On the evening of June 24,1890 the first graduation ex ereises were held. The class consisted of just one member. Miss Sade L. Green Cwhitmanj who now resides in Cameron, Illinois. About eight o' clock on the morning of December 18, 1898, the north school building caught fire, from an over- heated stove, and was totally destroyed. The students finished their ycarls work in rooms fitted up in the opera house, which later was remodellcd and is now the present Presbyterian Church. Erection of a new north school Ctan brick? was begun early in the spring of 1899, and when completed cost be- tween S6,000 and S7,000. It was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1899, and was occupied by both elementary and high school grades. A petition,carrying over thirty signatures, was filled with the board of school directors on May 29, 1912-- petitioning them to call for an election of the voters of school district 367, to decide on the question of a new high school building. Such an election was held and the proposition favoring the building carried. The contract for its erection was let on June 18, 1912, at a cost of S15,000. School opened in September 1915 with three 'high school teachers in charge. The old south building had been moved back on the premises and later was converted into a gymnasium. Although very small, it served for a number of years. In 1927, the patrons of the school felt an adequate gymnasium was a necessity if Kirkwood High School was to continue basketball competition with the near-by schools, Therefore in July 1927, a petition was again filed with the school board, this time with over two hundred signatures. This petition asked for a special election to see whether or not a gymnasium should be built. This election was held July 14, 1927 and the proposal ,to build such a building carried by a large majority.This structure was built of red brick at a total cost of Sl8,000. It was formally dedicated December 15, 1927. The record of the athletic activities of Kirkwood High School is one of which the patrons, teachers, and the stu- dents are proud.All realize,of eourse,that athletics is not the most important thing in high school life.Howcver,it has its place in building high standards of good sportsmanship, and clean fair play with each other and neighboring teams. Our teams in both basketball and track have hung up some records which will be hard to beat. In 1950, two courses, Agriculture, and Home Economics were placed under Smith Hughes state supervision. Being no longer needed as a gymnasium, the little old south school house was again remodelled and this time equipped as a farm mechanics building to be used by the classes in agricu1ture.It is still serving in that capacity at the present time, The year 1957 brought another much needed course to the high school curriculum. This commercial course has proved very popular with the students. With the addition of this course, the faculty was increased to six members. After a thorough canvas of financial conditions and other phases of high school affairs it was deemed advisable by the board of directors to bring before the voters of Tompkins Township the need of a high school district in the township. This was decided upon, favorably, in an election April 6, 1957. Thcrefore,when school opened in September i957 it opened as Kirkwood Township High School in district 150. Through the interest and cooperation of patrons,teach- ers, studcnts,and board of education this school strives to maintain a high standard and enjoys a reputation as one of the outstanding high schools in Western Illinois.

' THRU THE YEARS The Golden bells are ringing in Our year of jubilee, With fifty chapters finished in Our high school history, Let's turn the pages o'er today And browse along the years, And thrill to happy memories of Their joys and hopes and fearsg Of days of carefree gaiety, Fun loving girls and boys With thoughts on schemes of mis- chief bent, On spit-balls, pins and noise. The teachers, doubtless, wishing that We'd mind the golden rule, And apply ourselves to wisdom And the honor of the school. In musing mood we call to mind Our superintendents of the past, Who with unselfish true endeavors, O'er our lives their influence cast. Their faces pass before us As each well thumbed leaf we turn Face smiling, thoughtful, earnest, Faces grave, sedate and stern. On the yellowed page before us Granville Claybaugh first appears At the head of the procession Marching downward through the years Can't you hear his quartet singing with-fervency intense? His rich tenor voice proclaiming UWe'll Throw Him Over the Fence.N fix-QWV.: n HQ ,,-. ,, .1 ,Kb x ,, 'HW' ,Ts -'.8'W.1,. r - 'mi k X Vu. .. .Nga ' rem, .- Mm. -ws 1, . ,.

In quick succession, following him, Came Cass and Conn and Paul, And a growing school bore witness Of good service from them all. with memory, wandering back again, Among the days of yore, We pause a moment, sighing For the years that are no more. Then C. E. Lauder held the reins' Filled with ambition strong, And with energy and courage, Boosted the school along, His mantle of authority On Principal Gathcart fell A quiet studious leader, he, Who bore the honors well. Philip Wetengel endeavored then A To teach us grace and truth, And drastic measures sometimes used To subdue the fractious youth, With thoughtless, young assurance, we Perchance were sometimes rude, And could we live those days again, W-e-l-l, I wonder--would we be good? Principal T. E. Savage came A Savage wise and kind-- Who proved his fine ability To train the youthful mind, Then followed A. E. Robinson Well liked by all was he, Who safely steered our high school ship, O'er an oftimes choppy sea. . Principal C. H. Britton reigned With easy rule and quiet-- The Toga then with honor worn, was donned by H. C. Hiett. WBetter facilities and more room, For these we students plead.N Our modern High School building rose To meet this crying need. Here's D. J. Kelly's honest face, His Irish wit and smile And friendly earnest efforts Made high school life worth while. J. L. McGonnel came when war Clouds darkened our fair land, And when Columbia called her sons, He joined her patroit band. Ah! Here is one we all admired, Principal P. F. Grove. who ruled with kindly equity Won our respect and love. Then F. J. Wallace served us well, Of his record we are proud. He with genial personality And keen mind was endowed. We slowly turn another leaf-- Ross Connelly's face appears. Principal Pugh succeeded him. How fast have flown the years, The golden mile stone is in sight, And time moves on apace, With records graven on the years Which nothing will efface. Here's Principal H. D. Allison Progressive, full of vim. nDadU of the Kirkwood F. F. A. The school was proud of him. Principal J. E. Savage strove To keep the standard high And no disturbing element Escaped his watchful eye. Turn o'er the leaf, ve're almost through This chapter is the last? We're living in the present now, Emerged from out the past. Principal Hodge is at the helm And history's in the making: The students all on victory bent, Great things are undertaking. Achievement! That inspiring word, That spurs to greater zeal: As we press forward toward the mark To win, come woe or weal. with pride in what we have attained, Shall not our voices rise, Expressing gratitude and praise To our instruction wise. who through the years have sought to train The mind, and to inspire The heart of youth with courage, to Succeed in its desire. Across the years we clasp their hands In greeting warm and true, And to our K.H.S. beloved, Allegiance pledge anew, CComposed by Mrs. Nancy Baxter and Ransoml 111 ' in 1 f ,4 4 ,JM ,,Z ,, , , , W nu f ya L1 'V'-IF f. 1 xl I .1 , 1 5 n:...1,,, ., vhv, N .gif . -4475 1.4, An. an- V 574' 77: x- V -' ' 'J .

It enabled me to look into either the past or future depending on which way it revolved. Our history books tell us of the past, I thought, so why not look into the future. A Thinking of history books made me think of high school and thinking of high school made me think of the Class of '40, I wondered what they would be doing in the year 1965. I spun the top to 1965 and found a reunion of the Class of 1940 in progress at the Kirkwood High School Gym. The people were just arriving as the clock stopped and were being introduced by the master of ceremonies.Several people who could not be there had sent letters and telegrams. The master of ceremonies briefly gave the contents of these. I could hear him quite plainly as he said: Loretta Sward was unable to attend since she was in the midst of a three day operation. Loretta started out to be a nurse but decided to become a doctor. Dorothy Ketchum was one of those who was unable to attend. She was taking perpetual dictation from her boss Ruth Park, Miss Park is greatly in demand to write speeches for many prominent Republican politicians. A brief letter was received from Jack Lehman from a New York hospital stating that his nerves were in no condi- tion to attend.You will remember Mr. Lehman as the only man in the world to surpass Barney 0ldfield's driving record and remain alive. Martha Abbey stated in her telegram that she would be late to the reunion since thc airliner on which she is stewardess will not stop in Kirkwood but go on to Chicago. I now heard the master of ceremonies say: Miss Ila Atwater, with her quiet manner, has just be- come the head dietitian of a foods laboratory at the North Pole, William Barret demonstrated some of his piggy-wiggy calls for which he has become world famous. William gained his experience Uway down thar on that thar farm of hissins! The class had to watch their manners today because Miss Henrietta Bryant, leading authority in America on etiquette since the death of Emily Post, was there. Eugene Clague now known as the World's Superior Farmer told the class of his donation of 2000 acres in Montana for future class reunions. Miss Mary Galbreath star of the USmiles Programu over NBC sang her theme song for the class which was NThere Are Smiles That Make Me Happyu, Raymond Guilinger was the center of attraction at the reunion. His prophesies on the 1965 baseball season greatly interested everyone. Mr, Guilinger, as you all know, is a veteran baseball fan and quite an authority on the subject. William Gunter distributed the latest edition of his poultry journals to each of the persons there. Mr. Gunter not only edits this journal but also serves as a judge on poultry. , David Hickok, inventor, has just invented a heel tap for high school boys. Its main feature is that it is detachable in case teachers object too strenuously. Reco Higbee was there carrying his rabbit's foot as usual,Reco had a good reason for doing this since he claims that it brings him all his good luck. The latest you will remember was winning the Irish Sweepstakes. Professor Robert Holeman of Harvard University conde- scended to stop off for an heur's visit on his way to Kansas City, Rex Horney provided fresh gum for all the members of the class of '4O. Rex is new one of the most important executives at the Super Sticky Gum Co. The class had just heard a ten minute sketch from NHigh Lites on Broadwayn recently played in Chicago. The main actors in this as you have read in all leading news- papers were Kenneth Johnson and Dale' Van Riper. On the stage they are known as uP1tt and Pattn. , Brent Mann returned from Europe just to attend this reunion. He has been studying opera in Paris. Lyle Nelson known for his ability to produce effective basket ball signals was there. He brought his world-wide famous professional team to demonstrate the latest one. Lillian Newman attended the reunion in spite of her broken leg and fractured skull. Lillian sustained these injuries when a group of basket ball players pounced on her after a game which she refereed in Madison Square Garden. Margaret Ross, known as Rubinoff the second, favored the members with a violin solo-- Hawaiian Isles . She re- cently played before the King and Queen of England. Dr. Eugene Smith handed out samples of a sleeping pow- der which after taking you ,may get two hours of sleep in one hour. Mr. Smith has so much practice that he has very little time in which to sleep. Miss Erma Speck entertained for half an hour by read- ing her latest jokes. Erma's specialty is revising 'jokes of the seventeenth century and is known as NCrackerjack Spcclino Miss Vivian Wetander was recently chosen the most eut- standlng commercial teacher in America. You will remember her as the one holding the world's highest bookkeeping score. A report on the life of a teacher-novelist was made by Doris Wise. Miss Wise not only is a teacher but also has written.novels about high school life, and is widely known to school children throughout U. S. A. JUNIOR CLASS .,'1 X' I Eugene Gunter Pres.

Jimmy wood's orchestra furnished the mu- sic. The jitterbugs from near and far came to show how they could dance. The gym was full of rug-cutters, smoothies, jumpin'-Jivers, and susie q'rs. The committees in charge were: the decorative, Juanita Worden, Gertrude Loudon, Jane Vaughon, Bette Mink,and Betty Zeag the advertising,Paul Mink, Bill Cochran, Dick Pape,and Eugene Gunter, and refreshment, LaVerne Bricker, Kenneth Holeman, Bobby Gibb, and Andrew Young. Mr. McNeill, assisted by Mae Shauman, collected tick- ets at the door. Miss Smith, class adviser, seemed pleased with the returns, and the cooperation of all who were helping. The juniors cleared eleven dollars which will go for the purpose of the Junior-Senior Banquet. The juniors think that the dance went off fine and hope that they may have another one in their senior year that will go over as well as the one this year did. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet was held on May ll at the Custer Hotel in Galesburg. It was attended by the juniors, seniors, teachers, and members of the school board. The program which took place during the banquet consisted of a short talk on NTimeU by Mr. Hodge, a nToastU by Mr. Everett a vocal solo by Bette Mink, and a piano solo by Betty Zea. Bobby Gibb was the toastmaster, The entertainment provided was a theater party which was held at the Orpheum Theater. The show was HRafflesU starring David Niven and Olivia DeHaviland. It was enjoyed by all and was said to be a pretty good picture. After the theater party, some of the juniors and seniors went to the Hoof to dance, while others felt that they had been cnter+ tained well enough and left for home. The juniors feel that from the remarks of different people, the banquet was a success. fx g , Q .' j :Ji . bak Q First row: Second row First row: Second row: Third row: Fourth row: SOPHOMORE.

The Courier was given a HBH rating during the first semester, and an UAH rating the second. This year the Courier increased production. The staff published eight issues instead of five, and sent nearly 250 copies to homes in the community. These copies were sent without any cost to those receiving them. This was due to the hard work of the business manager and assistants who tirelessly solicited ads from Kirkwood and Monmouth merchants Journalism took a great step forward this year, thanks to the literary editors and the English Classes. Instead of the usual dry editorials, appeared sparkling wit and every- day occurrenoes uniquely expressed. One of the NDPA's commendations was on the mechanical work which includes many things. The first thing that word calls to mind, probably. is the mimeograph. The mimeograph frequently Uacted upu but soon it was fixed by the boys who operated it. Art work also comes under that heading. The art editor put new life into 'the Courier with his original drawings. Last, but not least, the ads never were a disgrace In fact their neatness added much to the looks of the Courier The Staff wishes the future staffs all kinds of success.

The election ran into slight difficulties because it resulted in a tie vote between Rex Horney and Bill Barrett. A second election was then held to determine the victor between these two candidates, and a second tie resulted. It was then decided by the representatives that Bill should re- side as president the first semester and Rex the last. The purpose of the student council is to bring closer relationship between the students and faculty. The council has charge of such extra-curricular activities, as parties and the sponsoring of different entertainments. The council works best only when the students realize that it is for them and that they can use it to an advan- tage. If a student sees a way in which the school can be improved he can bring it before the council, and it will be discussed and referred to the principal and faculty. If the faculty thinks the change is satisfactory, it is adopted, if not, it is rejected. At prescnt,thcre are eleven representatives in the stun dent council, who are chosen from each class and each organized activity of the school. The representatives from the various organizations are: Senior Glass, Bill Barrett Cpresident the first semesterlthe Junior Class, William' Al- len, Sophomore Class, Patricia Oaks, Freshman Class, Len Everett, F.F.A.,Kenneth Johnson,Publications,Mary Galbreath, CSecretary and TreasurerJ,K-Club, 1-inc Shauman CVice-Presi- dentj, Commercial Club, Lillian Newman, G.A.A., Vivian Wetander,and the Kodak Club, Erma Speck. Rex Horney is a representative from the school from last year. At the end of this year,a representative will be elected by the council to act as representative next year, It is felt that the student council is a valuable organization in the school both to the faculty, and to the students.

COMMERCIAL CLUB President -------- Paul Mink Vice-President ---- Vivian Wetander Secretary 5 Treasurer- -Dorothy Ketchum Last fall, shortly after school started, the members of the Typing II Class with the assistance of their teacher, Miss Jamison, organized a new club known as the Commercial Club. The officers were elected from the seventeen charter members. The objective of this club is to promote interest in the business world and in the study of commercial subjects, to encourage a social spirit by offering opportunities for wholesome social contact, and to become familiar with the modern progressive business methods and systems, thus en- deavoring to raise and maintain a higher standard of training for business. They hold a meeting once a month and members of the club or speakers from other schools partici- pate in the program. On September 25, 1959, a very interesting meeting was held in the gymnasium. Several members presented a play which was very characteristic of the business world. An- other feature of this meeting was an invitation extended to all students who had taken or were taking two or more com- mercial subjects to join the club. As a result of this invitation and after due initiation they added thirteen new members, making a total of thirty. At the December meeting of the club, a brightly lighted Christmas tree proved to be the center of interest. After the business meeting everyone present received a gift. Another outstanding event on the Commercial Club calen- dar was the trip made to Burlington, Iowa. On this trip the members visited several business houses and watched the many different machines in operation. They also. visited the College of Commerce. A spelling bee was held at ,the February meeting with all present participating. Mr. Hodge pronounced the words and Miss Jamison acted as checker. Vivian Wetander was the champion and received a pin guard in honor of the event, Dorothy Ketchum was the second highest with the next three places as follows: Jack Lehman, Betty Zea, and David Hickok. They feel that this club has been quite helpful to them and they hope that in the future years the club will be just as successful to all members, , Mi 2 Q 15 N555 'affix gk s 3 E , 1 5 'fin , 'b,:- ,M N' ' M Q, gm' ' Q '.,V 'id 3 A E3 x t f I xg, + '- .5i2I'EI- .-' 1 l. .JX x i, 2 A K' gf? , 4-H 2 Gu 'S- Wi 'Q i SS 423 ,mf Q M xi is TN' .X , X X fi 5 A -.xg , 5 X S 1 Axiwxr H as A we Q swf , A SSRN- x 'FEE ,Q ks T 4 ig S Mg QQW Q5 V aww sw 'Ng 'em ' . w X 'K 'Y P ax - A Q, X W' in LITERARY CONTEST The Speech Contest of Kirkwood High School was held in the gym on April 16, 1940.

The operetta had its setting in Switzerland. Two old Swiss gentlemen, Herr Bollinger, a Swiss Cuckoo clock maker, and Herr Nops, a mountain climber and guide, had been enemies for some years. Matters were complicated by the fact that Trudi, Bollinger's daughter, and Juli, Nops's son, were in love with each other. Things grew worse and worse until Hrs. Miller, an American tourist, and her two children,Donna and John, visited Switzerland. Trudi and Juli quarreled over the American boy and gir1,and after they made up,Mrs.'Hiller prom ised to take them back to America with her, When Herr Nops and Herr Bollinger find this out,they decide to make up and everything ends happily with the Americans deciding to stay on a while in Switzerland. The main characters were as follows: Herr Bollinger, a famous clock maker Trudi, his daughter Herr Nops, a famous mountain guide Juli, his son Mrs. Miller, an American tourist Donna, her daughter John, her son Hedwig A Fritz, friends of Trudi and Juli THE SWISS CHORUS Earl Hancock Juanita Worden Reco Higbee William Gunter Doris Wise Betty Zea Paul Mink Henrietta Bryant Raymond Guilinger Martha Abbey Mary Casteel Mary Coffman Adah Conard Maxine Dye Charlene Ellsworth Juanita Evans Mary Galbreath Jean Liby Bette Mink Kathlyn Montieue Opal Munson Lillian Newman Patricia Oaks Billy Pape Edith Parke Dorothy Parke Ruth Park Francis Peterson Juanita Porter Marie Rothzen Margaret Ross Rose Anne St. Ledger Marian Speer Erma Speck Jane Vaughn Vivian Wctander Donna Jean Weaver Loretta Sward Robert Ryner , Mac Shauman Bill Cochran Kenneth Holeman David Hickok Kenneth Johnson Vincent Johnson Robert Parke Dale Van Riper Eugene Gunter Lewis George will Gibb Lawrence Larson Lyle Nelson Dick Pape Wendell Pape Eugene Smith FW ' I 2 si A 3 ' F Sv il - 2.

N E .XFN X KLoG-T' THE WARREN AND HENDERSON COUNTY MUSIC FESTIVAL 'Thirty-two years ago the principals of the various schools in Warren and Henderson Counties organized the Bi- County Association, whose function was to sponsor competi- tion in athletics, literary subjects, and music. For years all these events took place on one day in the middle of May and it was a gala occasion. All schools were closed, mer- chants shut up their places of business and nearly everybody in the various communities went to the HTrack Meetn and made a full day of it. The program started in the morning with a part of the literary contest, the track meet took place in the afternoon and the evening was given over to the declama- tlon and music contest. Eight years ago the Music Supervisors decided that a music festival with an eminent conductor from the outside would be more beneficial to the students than the previous contest where weeks were spent in preparing a single contest piece. A chorus of twenty students is selected from each school and combined to form the Festival Chorus of one hun- dred and twenty voices. The Festival Chorus presents a comprehensive program covering the entire work of the year. This year it was held in Alexis, May 9. The musical program consisted of the following: Hiking Song --------- Krones, Beatrice, Max Mixed Chorus Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones ---- 17th Century Melody Mixed Chorus ' I Dream of Jeanie --------- Foster, Riegger Boys' Chorus Winter Song -------------- Bullard Boys' Chorus You Are Music -------------- Black Girls' Chorus Robin In the Rain ------ H ------ Cain Girls' Chorus Go Down Moses ----- - n V ---- Wheelwright Mixed Chorus Lost In the Night- - - F ------ Christiansen Mixed Chorus God Bless America- m W - -------- Berlin Mixed Chorus Tl gg .X ., a ffl Wfk Q - 1 .Sf-'vs'., FSH . . rx m. . s 5 Fw , S . i in X2 gg www gg W N sf.

Those entering from basketball were Wendell Pape,Dick Pape, Kenneth Johnson,Lyle Nelson,Bob Wright, Paul Mink, Mac Shauman, and Rex Horney. It has not yet been determined who will get letters in track but they will be selected from the following: Eugene Gunter, Rex Horney, Paul Mink, Raymond Guilinger, William Allen, Bob Wright, Robert Snodgrass, Earle Hancock, Len Everett, James McLaughlin, Bobby Gibb, Wendell Pape and Edward St. Ledger. The club will lose a number of its members through gradua- tion, some of which were very active in the founding of the organization.They are Rex Horney, Kenneth Johnson, Lyle Nel- son, Raymond Guilinger, and Eugene Smith. This organization is made up of the boys winning var- sity letter awards. Its purpose is to promote athletics and determine athletic awards. It has proved active in its field and will probably be more so in the future. KANDID KAMERA KLUB At the beginning of this year some of the members of the commercial classes,' under the supervision of Miss Jamison, formed a club, the Kandid Kamera Klub. The students formed a constitution and this set forth the organ- ization's rules--namely: all members had to attend at least two out of every three meetings, to have a meeting at least twice a month, to present a certain amount of pictures twice a month for approval, etc. The officers selected were as follows: Erma Speck, president, Henrietta Bryant, vice- president, and Dorothy Ketchum, secretary and treasurer. On February 29, l94O the club elected Erma to represent them in the Student Council, and also on that date they initiated three new members into their club. The new members were Vivian wetander, Rex Horney, and Margaret Ross. For initiation these members were to get snap shots of cer- tain teachers and students who were very difficult to get in unexpected poses. Some of the students haven't obtained this goal yet but most likely will before the time closes for all snap shots to be in, The activity of the club was limited chiefly to indi- vidual work this year but in years to come it will probably become more organized and will be even more successful. KL0G-.-r...-'--1' G. A, A. The Girls' Athletic Association of the Kirkwood Township High School was organized in the fall of 1956. This is a state organization with the purpose of maintaining higher moral standards, promoting the ideals of health and sports- manship, and stimulating interest in athletics among the girls of the various high schools. The officers for this year were elected and are as fol- lows: President, Mary Galbreathg Vice-president, Juanita Porterg Secretary and Treasurer, Betty Mink. The enrollment includes about thirty girlsa The G. A. A. girls voted to have their regular meetings every two weeks on Friday afternoons in the High School Assenbly, and also to pay twenty cents a semester as dues.

The season was not successful in games won, but the team showed much improvement by the end of the season. The boys worked hard, but were not in form till the latter part of the season, when they defeated Monmouth by ten points, a school which had beaten Kirkwood in the early part of the cage season by thirty points. As a whole, the season was considered a success, for most of the games were very close and exciting, with the boys showing fine sportsmanship through the entire basket- ball season. - The squad appreciated the support of the student body and the people of the community.

The team was well balanced, and several of the boys were in the spotlight in every track meet. The school is very proud of the team. Kirkwood dropped a dual meet to Media by a very close margin. Several of the boys won top honors. K.H.S. won a triangular meet at Biggsville by a large margin, with Biggsville second, and Stronghurst third. Kirkwood placed two men in the upper four in nearly every event. The varsity relay received their first victory. Kirkwood placed third in the Warren County Track Meet. There were contestants from five schools. They placed in their respective order: Roseville, Monmouth, Kirkwood, Alexis, and Little York. Gunter brought home two firsts for Kirkwood, while Guilinger and Mink each won a first. The Kirkwood Track Team was nosed out of first place at the K. M. B. S. Meet by the strong Media Team. The meet was very fast considering the condition of the field. New records were set in all track events except .onew-the half mile. R. Guilinger set a new record in the 440 which will stand for several years to come. The Freshman relay also set a new record which will be very hard to approach. This relay team consisted of the following boys: McLaughlin, Everett, Hancock, and Snodgrass. Kirkwood placed sixth in a field of l8 at the Military Track Meet. The team collected 65 points to place sixth at Galesburg Sat. May 4. Guilinger placed End in the 440 yd. Dash, Gunter was fourth in the 220, and Mink placed 5rd in the high jump and fourth in the Javelin. This was very good considering the stiff competition. Raymond Guilinger and Bill Allen represented Kirkwood at the District Meet held at Rock Island, on May ll. Both failed to place, although Guilinger was sixth in the 440. The 52nd Annual Bi-County Track Meet was held May 14 at Media. The schools placed in. the following order: Roseville first, Media second, Kirkwood third, .Alexis fourth, Stronghurst fifth, and Biggsville sixth. This is one of the outstanding meets of the year, and probably one of the fastest because it winds up the season for most of the schools. Guilinger won first in the 440 to receive the only gold medal for Kirkwood. Gunter collected two second place metals, while Mink and Horney received one apiece. Allen won a third, while Mink and Wright each won a fourth. I2 5 f g Q? QQ-Q Si' T N45 my: m 'Az Q Q1 .. 1 ,, 'PLL S H 3 il .

F. A. meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. They were as follows: President, Kenneth Johnsong Vice- Presidcnt, Lyle. Nelson: Secretary, ,Raymond Guilingerg Treasurer, Rex Hornef: Reporter, Bobby Gibby and Watchdog: Mac Shauman: Mr. Mies was the adviser. In May, l959, the grain team and the fat stock team went to the sectional judging contest held at Aledo. There were around thirty schools competing. The fat stock team consisting of Kenneth Johnson, Byron Burgland and Eugene Clague placed fourth which entitled them to go to Cham- paign.The grain team consisting of Bill Allen, Andrew Young and Mac Shauman did not place high enough to go to the state. Bill Gunter and the poultry team consisting of David Hickok, Jay Moore and Wendell Claybaugh went to the judging contest held at Williamsfield. The poultry team rated fourth and Jay Moore placed ninth individually. The dairy team did not place. Eleven boys showed their projects at the vocational show at Alexis ,in September and made SllO.25, which was very good. The green hand initiation was held the first week in October. , The representative in the F.F.A. corn husking contest held at Shale City, October 14, 1939, was Byron Burgland.He placed fourth. . The annual F.F.A.dance was held November 18, 19159 with a large crowd attending.Music was furnished by Jimmy Woods' orchestra. The net profit was twenty dollars., t On the 29th day of March the annual F. F. A. Potluck Supper was held. Several boys of F. F. A. made speeches on different subjects in connection with the organization. Mr. Benbow, McDonough County Farm Adviser, who was to be the chief speaker of the evening became ill with the flu and could not come., However, Mr. Walworth, Warren County Farm Adviser brought down a baseball picture which was enjoyed by everyone. ' On the 19th of April 1940, twelve boys from the Farm Mechanics and the Farm Management Class accompanied by Mr. Mies, journeyed to Peoria to see the Caterpillar Plant in the morning. In the afternoon they visited the Keystone Steel and Wire Company, q i gi 4:23 KLOG --.1-1.-....-T'--' CLASS PARTIES The pupils of the high school began their social whirl of the year by starting off with a Leap Year Party. The boys decided a party was due them, so after much discussion the girls gave in and planned one for April 15. After several conservative games were played and refreshments CRitz crack- ers and pop? were served, some of them went to the show. The boys evidently were satisfied for they have not clamored for another one. The freshmen held their first party in the gym November 7. Refreshmcnts of lee cream and cookies were served. After this everyone danced. The last party was held May 20. Thirty attended the supper at Monmouth Park and later several went to the show. The first sophomore party of the year went over with a bang. As it was cold weather, the party had to be held in the gym. .A scavenger hunt was participated in, but the best event of the evening was when Miss Rowland had tc propose to Mr. Hodge. The Rarty was invitational and it seemed that everyone invited ad a good time. The second sophomore party was a wiener roast at the Monmouth Park. One of the sophomore boys was in quite a flutter until he got a date, but at last he did and everyone enjoyed the evening. The G.A.A. girls entertained the F.F.A. boys at an en- joyable party on May 16, 1940 in the gymnasium. There were about fifty resent with the two instructors, Miss Smith and Mr. Mies. Tae evening was spent playing games and refresh- ments of cake and ice cream were served. An outdoor picnic was held at Monmouth Park May 21, for the juniors and their guests. It had been rainy all day but not even the rain could stop them. ,After eating, some attended a show while others went to the world premiere of UThose Were the Daysn held in Galesburg. Friday, May 17, was Senior Skip Day. The seniors left school about 8:50 with a lot of noise so everyone else would know they were going. Many places of interest were visited during the day. Among them were Joseph Smith's home in Nauvoog Keokuk Dam in Keokukg and Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. After this they went to Grape Park in Bur- lington and walked over the Black Hawk Trail. They ate supper in Burlington and afterwards went to the movie WAngel from Texasu. ' K 5 V' f , Wy ...,,. .

F -' k A X A SENIOR'S DIARY September 5.- It just doesn't seem possible that this is my last year in school. It will seem terrible next year not to see all my old friends with whom I started to grade school and then completed high school. The same teach- ers, practically, are over at the grade school, but the high school has had quite a turnover of teachers. To- day we welcomed Mr. Hodge and Mr, Mies. I like them. 8.- School really is getting under way, for we held our class elections today. The boys always run everything. ll.- We organized a Commercial Club in Typing II Class this morning. Anyone who has taken or is taking two or more commercial subjects is eligible. This club should help us a lot. l5.- This fateful day, the day of initiation' at the park, has all the freshmen scared. The seniors, I no- tice, have gotten over the thrill of it. 2O.- We had the difficult job of picking out announce- ments. It's amazing to me that we ever agreed on one. 22.- F. F. A. initiation always tickles me because it is so different from other initiations. The boys looked SO 265' domestic with aprons, silk stockings and earrings. Our virtuoso, Brent Mann, organized an orchestra today. I hope it is a good one. 29.- This October Mary Galbreath was elected president of G. A. A. is the fourth year of our G. A. A. organization. 3.- More fun! Mr. Sherwood was here and demonstrated tho use of colored inks on the mimcograph. I can hard- ly wait till we try it on the next issue of the 4.- A strange thing happened this week. Bill and Rox Horney tied twice for president of the Courier Barrett Student them to Council. I guess the only solution will be for take turns. 9.- Everyone had his picture taken today. Some were quite good but I hope no one asks to look at mine. . ll and l2.- My! but I'm glad when six weeks tests are over for it seems as though you can get another start. 2O.- The dignified seniors CAhemD started the social whirl with a party and what a party it was! 25.- 'The High School Mysteryn is finally given. It was kind of spooky if you ask me. 51.- Hallowee'n wouldn't seem right without a party so we decided to have an all school party. I'm sure the main purpose was to keep our little high school boys off the streets. November l.- Our magazine campaign ended today and the sixteen students in the Typing II Class accomplished as much as the whole school did last year. 7.e The freshmen held their first party tonight. They aren't half as bashful as we were. what is this genera- tion coming to? l4.- It seems like school isn't really started until basketball is in full swing. We played our first game, which was a close one, at New Boston, and lost by only one point. l8.- The F. F. A. boys held one of their annual dances. Unlike some, it was a big success. 2l.- Our K-Log campaign is going well. So far we have sold 175. Not bad, 284- Oh--disgrace! Monmouth beat us all to smithereens this evening.No wonder,anyone would lose on that floor. December l.- We played Stronghurst here and, I'm not right sure but I think they beat us. We oan't blame the floor this time. 5.- Mrs. O'Leary's Cow was given by the Junior Class. As an added feature they had a magician who was very good. 7,- Here's that commercial club again. So far we have- n't missed a month. This time wc had a Christmas tree with all the trimmings. l2.- There was very little studying done today while the flag pole was being raised, l5.- G. A. A. girls had a Christmas party. There were very nice gifts exchanged, I thought. l5.- We played another basketball game, this time at Roseville. Who won? Don't be silly,they did,of course. 2O.- Maybe now I'll get caught up on my sleep. Christ- mas vacation usually is so full, though, I'll probably be glad for school. 29-5O- KMBS Tournament was held here. Such an excit- ing timel Biggsville won, incidentally. January 5.- Our American History Glass went to the show HMr. Smith Goes To Washingtonn. It was worth seeing twice. l2.- We played a basketball game at Biggsville. Nice weather we are having. l7.- The F. F. A. boys entertained the G. A. A. girls and the girls outnumbered the boys for once. 22.- Forced vacations are my hobby or something.Anyway, a great snowstorm came in the night and school was post poned for a day. February l.- Robert Briggs, a cartoonist, was here demonstrating his abilities. He also sang and recited poetry. 8.- Practice for our operettauln Grand Old Switzerlandn is going strong now. l5.- I'm so excited I can hardly think. Hg beat Mon- mouth all to smithoreens. The whole school is in an uproar. l4.- The Commercial Department sent a lovely basket of fruit to Brent Mann who has just returned from the hos- pital. He enjoyed this kind of valentine very much. 22.- The American Legion presented a flag to the school and I thought the ceremony was very impressive. 24.- The juniors raised their money for the banquet by sponsoring a dance. I hope we have something besides hamburgers to eat. 1n 1 I 29.- More six weeks tests. Whewl March 7.- nln Grand Old Switzerlandu was a great suceess.Suc- cess or no suecess,I am very glad it is over. 8.- We finally had our party in honor of the magazine salesmen, Martha Abbey and Paul Mink. We had lots of fun! 22.-25.- Easter vacation. School will soon be out. 27.- They can beat us at basketball but it is a differ- ent story when it comes to commercial contests.lI hopel Anyway, we won a practice meet at Biggsville. 28.- I wonder if twice will be enough to give the town- people a chance to see Nln Grand Old Switzerland.n It's too much for me. April l.- Miss Rowland has quite a sense of humor. When we came to American History Class she told us we would have a test and then when the groans had subsided,she lifted the map from the board and written on the board was April Fool. 4.- The Shorthand Preliminary was held today. 9.- The B1-County Chorus was picked. There are 20 lucky ones or perhaps I should say, unlucky ones chosen each year. l5.- The big party of the fear was held after returning from the District Commercial Contest at Yates City. We felt pretty good, not only because we won second at the contest but because the girls for once had the pleasure of inviting the boys to a party. You probably have guessed it, this party was a Leap Year Party. l6.- Everything seems to be happening at once. We won first place at a triangular track meet in Biggsville. Our speech contest is tonight, l8.- We d1dn't do so well at the Warren County 'Track Meet in Monmouth today. We won a few firsts but we came in third in the whole meet. 29.- Our music was well attended. I always enjoy it. may -f--:T May ' v 4.- Ono of the big momemts in the year has arrived-- Military Tract. Even if our contestants didn't get anything, with ience was good for them, the exception of Jeanne Liby, the exper- 8.- B1-County Music practice didn't seem so like drudg- ery because that director was so much fun. 9.-I'm so tickled because we girls get to wear our fermals tonight to the Bi-County Music Festival, ll.- We are all so proud to think Vivian and the Short- hand team get to go to the State today. They are plan- ning to get back for the l4.- Track meet days are exception. I just about Raymond Guilinger easily in the Bi-County Meet. l6.- The girls are again it's the G. A. A. girls, the F. F. A. boys. Junior Senior Banquet tonight. always so cold and this is no froze te death. Incidentally, took first in the 440 yd. dash being kind hearted. This time though, who are entertaining l7.- This Senior Skip day wasn't as much fun as it might have been because all the teachers knew about it beforehand and the student body, practically, were out to watch us go. The rest of the day was very success- ful. 24.- Finally the basketball and track boys will be re- warded fer they are guests at a banquet given in their honor at Parke's Cafe. 26.- Baccalaureate! School is quickly drawing to a close and no one feels worse about it than I. It will be held at the Methodis Church, 27-28,- Exams! i That's another reason why I hate to have school end, 29.- Class Day eliminates all the foolishness from Com- mencement. The Senior Will and Prophecy will be read today. 3l.- Commencement is our last touch of school, The speaker will be from somewhere else. It will seem strange not to have Mr. Rawson give the address, for he has given so many inspiring Commencement addresses. 5 K IRKW OOD E50O1S3TER CL UB Meets FlPSt Thursday in Each MODth at Legion Hall OFFICERS President ------ H.
