Pray, Secretary Page 11 The School Board To the pupils of Lincoln High and to any who may read the “Torch,” I want to impress upon you the splendid opportunities and advantages you have in our schools. An education means so much to you and is becoming more essential each day. We are trying to make our schools so attractive that you will want to take advantage of these opportunities. It is in your power to make your lives successful; for it is out of your private thinking that your success must come. Your character is built as your life is lived. In character as in all things, the highest point to be attained is simplicity. I want to leave with you this thought from the poem “Prayer” by Ed- gar A. Guest. I trust that you may remember it in the years to come and that it may help you in all things to lead that nobler and better Christian life. “This I would ask; not that I shall be spared Trials of disappointment, loss or pain, But that my soul with courage be prepared To meet the conflict and to stand the strain.” MRS. WILL L. CLIFTON. JOHN E. SMITH, Superintendent WEBSTER CITY, IOWA University cf Dubuque B. A. University of lowa M. A. “That’s all apple sauce.” Courage—a truly wonderful human asset. With- out it nothing really worth while can be achieved. Without it—self-respect as well as the respect of others is never merited. Courage will carry us over life’s troubled waters and will make its pathway easier trod. Courage gave us Lindbergh. Courage is the mother of men who dare—who achieve. ) a A. G.

BROWN Iu Memoriam e e ° The shock to the community by the sudden death of Mr. Brown was very keenly felt by the students and faculty of Lin- coln High. Mr. Brown has taken the pictures of many a high school generation during his forty-one years of business in Web- ster City. We recognize that the task of taking pictures of large groups of young, active, restless students has been no easy one. To Mr. Brown is due the credit for taking the pictures in the 1928 Torch. Among them are some of the last fruits of his labors in his profession. We take pleasure in dedicating this page to the memory of Mr. Brown whose keen interest and un- tiring efforts have been so generously devoted to the publication of this book.

Esther Drackley and Margaret Swanson are playing the leading roles for De Mille’s next picture. Milton Baldwin and Cecil Segar are playing oppo- site them.” “That isn’t the latest I’ve heard,” put in Ruth. “I’ve heard that Ted Gillman is one of the most prominent lawyers in New York and has written several editorials for one of the lead:ng papers there. He says in one “I’ve never lost a case for I’ve never had a client.” As the Toonerville Trolley was making its stop at a station, Eleanor Butts—now Mrs. Chet Gore—got in and seeing her friends immediately joined in with her gossip. “Chet and I went into the Circus at the City of Duncombe yesterday, and we saw the most people of the class of ’28. When we came into the grounds we heard a familiar voice calling “Right this way folks! Groceries and candies guaranteed not to poison, to maim or to kill.” “Why,” said Chet, “that sounds like Timm Alkire,” and to be sure it was. Arlene Juhl and Charlotte Neff were helping Timm, working like trojans just as they did in ’28. To our surprise, there were many more of the old gang of ’28’ers around the grounds. Arlene said that if we tried to collect them all togeth- er we’d have a bunch of antiques. We surely would if we had attempted, because Tod Henegar was selling balloons to all the attractive girls on the grounds. Melford France was introducing a Human Fish. Who do you suppose it was? No one else but Raymond Burns. “Did you know,” interrupted Margaret Ann, “that Viola Paulsen has endowed a home for decrepit cats and installed Claire Hoge and Louise Weidlein as Matrons ?” “Do you know that the “Sandpiper” Vaudeville Company was in Jewell last month?” asked Ruth. “The players attracted huge crowds with their neart rendering, jibbering minstrel show. The players were Lois Brown, Claire Dinsdale, Jack Desmond, Mildred Zeihan, Virgil Pringle, Harold War- rington, and Bertha Taxted. Marion Rasmussen acting as judge of the beauty contest given by the “Sandpiper”? Company declared Ruth Lane and Gladys Lemon, winners.” Eleanor who was displeased with these interruptions decided she’d go on about the circus. ‘When Chet and I went in the Lovers Tub, whom do you suppose we saw whirling in it? Howard Jones and Dorothy Rutledge, Russell Mazanti and Mary Ferguson, Verna Kramer and Arthur Lundell!” “Tid Kenneth Nichols ever become a coach?” asked Margaret Ann. “Yes,” answered Eleanor, “but not in athletics, his glee club has won prizes for three consecutive years. He expects to become the next musical director at Stanhope. It’s very remarkable, isn’t it, how the members of 28 rise to distinction?” | a “Speaking of music, the “Singing” Sisters who sing at W OI on Tues- days and Thursdays are wonderful,” said Ruth. “You know who one of the “Singing” Sisters is? It’s a secret, but you won’t tell, will you? Clarabel Rinehimer, isn’t that wonderful? Miss Whitten always said that Clarabel had musical abilities.” The Toonerville hit a bump, but this didn’t affect the gossip any. The stop at Homer was made and the next stop was at Duncombe. Still the gossip continued. “Did you attend Chautauqua last summer, Margaret Ann?” asked Eleanor. “Yes,” replied Margaret Ann. “They surely had a wonderful program. Madame Biernatzki’s recital was wonderful. I appreciated Avis Shelton’s lectures the most, however, because they were so educational. “How to feed your husband to prevent indigestion” gave me the most hints because Merrill is constantly complaining of indigestion.” “Were you there the day Helen Austin gave her lecture on the wonders of physics? She had the stage fixed up like a laboratory and gave various demonstrations. We renewed acquaintances after the lecture and she said the demonstrations were as simple as mere child’s play. Imagine it!” “T see by the Freeman-Journal that Lawrence Kelting and his wife have completed their tour around the world. Lawrence, yon know, got his wife, Mildred Shafer, by applying at the Internat’onal Matrimonial Bureau, French Headquarters. Guy Nelson is the President of this wonderful organ- ization and has supplied a hundred bachelors with wives,” put in Ruth. “You remember what an interesting person Phyllis Valen used to be? She has established a cooking school, the kitchen of which is immaculate. Her motto is, ‘The bun is mightier than the sword,’” said Margaret Ann. “What has become of those bright energetic girls Gladys Neff and Ef- fie Ferguson?” asked Eleanor. “Oh, haven’t you heard of the famous school for aesthetic dancing?” asked Margaret Ann. “They train most of the girls that enter the Follies. Madame Danski, the famous Russian dancer was graduated from this school. “T see that Robert Ambrose is the ear specialist in the Fare-thee-well Corn factory. Vera Lee has been made president of the Grabit Oil Company for three days because the boss is on his vacation. Chet says it’s a very re- sponsible position,” put in Eleanor. “I always knew that in spite of his bashfulness, Glenn Fisher would amount to something,” said Ruth. “Why just think he is one of California’s senators at Washington! He and his wife—who was Eleanor Bonner—keep the social circle at Washington stirred up constantly, because of their daily arguments. They say she completely rules the house.” “Kermit Oleson and Claire McFarland have been employed as private secretaries in Hollywood for the famous movie stars Harold Lloyd and Mack Sennett. Isn’t that grand?” asked Margaret Ann. “Not so grand as this, Sylvia Dalbey has established a school in Berlin where she teaches those famous German canaries how to sing. She has written the book “Psychology as Applied to Canary Birds,’”’ answered Ruth. “Chet got a letter the other day from Harvey Weedman asking him to attend the Airmens Association’s banquet. I wouldn’t let Chet go, be- cause I won’t have him take such awful risks as these fliers do. I under- stand that Harvey has made an invention recently that has made millions for him. It is a combination of a collapsible automobile and airplane.” At this time the Trolley gave an extra hard bump and a bounce which awoke these three women from their reminiscences and they found them- selves on their way to Fort Dodge. All three pounced upon the skipper and overcame him with a hot torrent of words which shocked him so he had to have a week in which to recuperate. Make Alkire, R. Ambrose, R. Austin, H. Austin, M.

There were only five 1926 regulars reentering this year. The first of the season was not very successful, due to the inexperienced team, but during the latter part Mr. Rust got his machine running fine and brought home some victories. Webster City won from Lehigh, Dows, Eagle Grove, and Iowa Falls and lost to the hard teams of Nevada, Boone, Fort Dodge, Clarion, West Waterloo, and Humboldt. Next year’s team will undoubtedly be a winner, for the team is losing only a few men, and these will be replaced by underclassmen. With Joe Stoker as Captain, Webster City surely has a bright future for next year. Page 51 Captain William Keast “Bill’’ who played tackle was always there to see that the boys received a squ are deal and he played a game passed. He was fast and run a team. “Big all, will be missed by all of the team as well honorable mention team. Kenneth Nichols “ Kennie” without previous experience, showed what a man could do with a little patience and continued practice. Besides play- ing quarterback, he entertained the team on their trips with his wit. Kennie will be lost through graduation in June. Raymond Burns At halfback ‘“‘Bunnie’’ played a hard speedy game while his slashing run and ability to nab passes marked him as one of the main cogs in Webster City’s offense. Raymond re- ceived honorable mention in the Register’s all state team. He will be lost through gradua- tion in June. was hard to be sur- had the ability to as he is known to remaining members fans. Keast received Register’s all state Joe Stoker Captain elect, who played guard has been chosen to fill William Keast’s position as cap- tain for the coming year. The team selected a man that is well liked by every member of the team and student body. Joe has the abil- ity to run a team that Webster City will be proud of and it will be a pleasure to watch the games under his guidance. Lloyd Mullholland “Mully’’ has won his three ““W’s”’ by playing full back on our team. Mully is one of the hardest fighters Webster City High has ever had. The loss of this fearless and aggressive man is indeed felt keenly through the student body as well as the members of the team, rer — Se Richard Hurst “Rich” playing end was very gocd at re- ceiving passes and the defense stcpped many a play around his end by his hard tack- ling. Rich will be back with the team next year and should make a strong bid for all state end. He received honorable mention on the Register’s all state team. Harry Wilson Although being Harry’s first year, he prov- ed to be of great worth to the team. With this year’s experience, he will be of great value to Lineoln High in the two coming years. Elston Ashpole One of the steadiest players on the team. A good line plunger and passer. With his two more years playing he should make an all state man. The game he played at Humboldt was outstanding. Merrill Bickford “Bick,” playing center, showed us what a strong man could do. He is a ‘‘gentleman”’ athlete and one of the best centers Webster City High School has had. Having another year left, Bick ought to make a fine record for the school as well as for himself. ] Charles Callery “Chet,’’ the “‘little boy’? on the team played quarterback and a right good job he did too. Chet, is the kind that never gives up. He will make a valuable player again next year. Page 52 Ye Page 53 Estle Black Estle proved a very fine member of the team holding his position as an exceptionally good guard. He was a very hard man for his opponents to get out of the way. Estle was always on the job and fighting from start to finish. The next year’s team with “Blacky”’ as a member ought to bring home the bacon. Marvin Curtis Came out four weeks after the season had started, but it was not long before he was playing steady on the first team. He was gocd on going down under punts and stopping plays going around his end. Marvin will be lost to next year’s team. Everett Doty When Everett was in the game, he played a hard fast game, but was out of some of the games because of illness. Everett will be back next year and should be playing steady on the first team. Noble Johnson “Jonse’’ a more consistent worker we cculd not find. In time he will be a great tackle as he possesses knack and is built for the tackle position. Much can be expected from Noble the coming year. eS SS == BASKET BALL Mr. Rust has coached Basket Ball in Webster City four years and during those four years has put out some of the best teams of the state. This year Coach Rust developed a team that had wonderful floor work and a tight de- fense that spelled defeat for many opposing teams. Through the season Webster City lost only to the tough teams of Fort Dodge Humboldt, Chariton, and Cen- tral High of Sioux City and have the honor that many schools would be proud to have, for in the last four years Webster City has won ninety-seven out of one hundred-three games and has also won four sectional tournaments.

His defen- sive playing was outstanding and he was noted for his slipperiness and ability for shooting difficult shots un- der the basket. We are sorry that Nick is leaving us. CAPTAIN-ELECT HURST Richard (co-captain with Melford) the tall center, who was outjumped but very few times, showed real floor work and had a good eye for the basket. His following in shots did much in winning many of the games this season. Rich wiil be with us next year. CAPTAIN FRANCE Melford is one of the best guards in the state. He played four years on the first team in such a manner that he had made many friends with the fans and student body, his smooth playing and clean sportsmanship be- ing outstanding. His loss will be keenly felt by the whole school. ROBERT HENEGAR Tod is a scrappy little forward and when put into a game always dis- played fight. The first team players had to be playing up to standard or Tod would be put in his place. He will graduate in June. Se iim a a ______ Scassaeeataainencieaiimeemeniiaiiaieniaaais ia LLOYD MULHOLLAND The most valuable man o n the team played guard the first part of the sea- son, but was shifted to the forward position because of his eagle eye for the basket. Mully could handle the ball and knew when to break for the basket. Next year’s team will be with- out him. CHARLES CALLERY. Although this being Chet’s first year on the first team he proved that a fellow does not have to have exper- ience to have fight, and Chet showed plenty of that. He was never happy unless he was trying to keep another fellow from shooting. Chet is a soph- omore and should make a real player his next two years. ESTLE BLACK Although this was Estle’s first year out for Basket Ball he became a good player. By next year he should be playing steady on the first team. ) ; hi ) | . | | | | | . : 1 : ! | . i | | | | | Tcp Row, left to right—Wilson, France, Hughes, Gates. 3ottom Row, left to right—Gore, | Keast, Butts, Burns. | | Pra k | ACK ; S | With only two letter men Anderson and Gore back for the 1927 season, .

Miss Elizabeth Kneeland Four years ago the Girl’s Athletic Association was organized in the Webster City High School. Membership is acquired by 15 po’nts which may be earned by participating in some sport. Any girl may choose three out of the following: (except a Senior who may enter as many as she wishes) Indian Club and Ap- paratus Contests, Basketball, Baseball, Track, Tennis, Hiking. Several girls have won a G, A. A. emblem and one of last year’s graduates, Frances Pyle, received a gold pin. 660 points give a G. A. A. emblem and 1000 points give a gold pin. The Class Basketball Tournament which was held before Christmas vacation was played by elimination and was sponsored by the G. A. A. Practice started the latter part of October, under the direction of Miss Kneeland, who coached each of the teams through straight, clean basketball. The Sophomores won in the High School, but tied with the Junior College for first place, while the Sen- iors and the Juniors tied for second place, giving the Freshies third place.

Debate The debaters carried on a very successful year during 1927-1928. A differ- ent plan was carried out in debating this year, each school being represented by two teams composed of two members each. One team went to another school and debated at the same time. Webster City took part in several dual debates besides the two contests in the first round of the states series. Three of the four regular debaters graduate but leave several who were on the squad. Claire Hoge and Robert Buell were the members of the negative team while Esther Drackley and Margaret Swanson upheld the affirmative. A second team composed of Hiram Rasmussen, Ina Samson, Leota Fisher and Oliv- er Olson did some very creditable work and gives promise of taking an active part in interscholastic debates next season.

Declamatory . - This year was a successful one for Lincoln High, since the contestants won first place in the quadrangular declamatory contest. The cities included in this contest are Eagle Grove, Humboldt, Clarion, and Webster City. As usual there was keen competition in every division in each town, and the local school was justly proud to win the contest, thereby getting the silver trophy from Humboldt. At the county preliminary contest at Randall, Ruth Burnstedt and Helen Western took first places in the humorous and dramatic divisions, respectively. These contestants then entered the County Contest at Ellsworth. Here Ruth took first place in the humorous division with “Mama Takes Papa to the Sea- shore.” Dick Desmond won in the first two rounds of the preliminary state con- test and has a good chance for bringing added laurels to Lincoln High in this contest. His selection was “Biddy Moriarity.” Participants in declamatory work this year were coached by Miss Petersen of the local faculty. ‘The Junior Class Play The play “The Patsy,” a three act comedy was given by the Junior class, November 18. The cast was carefully chosen by a committee composed of Mr. Smith; Ruth Malcolm, Margaret Linnan, Bernice Brown, Mr. Siverson, Agnes Petersen, and Mr. Coulter, who attempted to select students especially adapted to their parts. The complete cast was: Mr: Harrington: 22. Herbert Horn Grace Harrington............ Irene Froning Mra sStiarrinoton 2. eee Opal Miller Patricia Harrington...... Mary Haldeman Tony Anderson........ Wayne Passwaters Mr. O’Flaherty.................. Donald Frakes Billy Caldwell................ Martin Crovisier. ‘Sadie .=.5.0 ..09 ashes Dorothy Blue Taxi driver Patricia, “The Patsy,” is the heroine of the play and in the end through a series of psychological experiments succeeds in winning the love of Tony An- derson, himself the unsuspecting director of the experiments and the accepted lover of Grace. However Billy Caldwell finally succeeds in winning the hand of Grace, and Patricia, the modern Cind erella,; rises from the ashes of her com- mon place lot to the position of the most admired daughter of the family and a winner of masculine hearts. This play was directed by Mr. Charles Coulter, assisted by Bernice Brown and Ruth Malcolm. Page 65 The Senior Class Play “The Goose Hangs High” was the comedy selected for the Senior class play. This play is one of the most successful of recent times. It portrays with great good humor and truth the efforts of a modern fam ‘ly to adjust themselves to different circumstances. The characters were chosen as follows: DCPTERT ED LUA ae ee ee ee Chester Gore Bree nega cree eho lk Viola Paulsen Leo Day Ted Gillman Phyllis Vaten Eleanor Butts Mrs. Bradley {sther Drackley Hush bneaig.. 4 al = AE Se a eee ee Virgil Pringle Ronald Murdock Howard Jones UPDRS | A ie ea 5 ane eee Ruth Burnstedt BCU eens terre Sener NS oe Kenneth Schns Dagmar Carroll...................................Margaret Ann Austin Normal Training CLUB MOTTO: Rowing not drifting.

Irene Whaley INSEPMICLOT ee ee es Miss Petersen The normal training club which consists of the Junior and Senior students has accomplished much during the year. This club meets the second Tuesday of each month, for the purpose of obtaining better ideas of teaching. There is at least one speaker for every meeting either from without or within the member- ship of the club, to lecture on something which is beneficial to each of the club members as a teacher and community leader. The object is: that all the members of this club shall work for the bene- fit of each other and the club as a whole; that each member shall strive toward zood conduct and pure living; that this club will endeavor to help its members to gather information that will further them in their professional training; and finally that this club seeks to instruct its members in ideals of community leadership. The activities of the club during 1927-1928 consist of a picnic, a Christmas Party, a Mother’s and Daughter’s Banquet, and a Play, “Mr. Bob.” The money from this play was used to make the Normal Training room more attractive and to buy new books for reference work in this course. We hope the year of 1927-1928 may prove as a standard for students tak- ing the Normal Training Course in years to come. Page 66 | Publication . . .

Page 67 i} 4 | | Journalism Every Wednesday appears in the Freeman-Journal a page of school news called “The School’s Journal.” This page containing the news from all the schools in the system, is edited by the Journalism class under the direction of Miss Ethel Swanson, the faculty adviser. Each member of the class takes his turn acting as editor. Every Wednesday the editor together with another mem ber of the class goes to the printing office to proof read. In this way the work is evenly divided and each student receives the same practical experience. Thus through the courtesy of the Freeman-Journal, it is made possible for the schools of the city to let the public know just what is going on in the most important of all institutions—the public schools. The students in the class are all members of the Quill and Seroll, the na- tional honorary society for high school journalists. To be elected to membership in the society, it is necessary to maintain good scholarship and to write ac- ceptable articles fo r the paper. It is therefore an honor to wear the little gold pin with a quill and scroll engraved on it. ) The members of the School Journal staff are as follows: Robert Alkire, Margaret Ann Austin, Milton Baldwin, Ruth Burnstedt, Esther Drackley, Phil Gates, Ted Gillman, Arthur Lundell, Dorothy Rutledge, Kenneth Sohns, and Margaret Swanson. ! | ; i ii | � ite eclorch Stat ory OF 4 Kenneth Sohns..............Editor-in-Chief Eleanor Butts....Advertising Manager i Clarabel Rinehimer....Assistant Editor Esther Drackley............

The members are all senior high students. Besides singing at various school events the quartet sang at the opening of the Foster Funeral home, the Women’s Benefit Association and at the Universalist church. Miss Hirt directed the quartet in the absence of Miss Whitten. The members are: Geraldine Gilmore, Chester Gore, Ruth Burn- stedt, Miss Whitten, Clarabel Rinehimer, Gerald Butts, Ruth Lane, Milton Baldwin, and Virgil Pringle. Page 72 The Girls’ Glee Club This year there are about twenty girls in the Glee Club from Senior High. These girls have worked faithfully, practicing each week. The Glee Club possesses great value in giving training in effective group singing. The crowning event in the club’s career was the broadcasting from W. O. I. Ames. It was an exceptionally fine program and those who were fortunate enough to hear it, said that it came in very clear. During the absence of Miss Whitten, the director, Miss Pauline Hirt took charge of the girls. The personnel is as follows: Miss Whitten, M. Swanson, E. Yanney, E. McCoy, E. Drackley, G. Gilmore, E. Butts, D. Draeger, M. Austin, I. Fron- ing, R. Lane, O. Fardal, L. Weidlein, A. Juhl, C. Rinehimer, R. Burnstedt, V. Paulsen, L. Nickerson, I. Walker, and T.

The Girls’ Glee Club, Double Quartet, Mixed Chorus, Junior high glee club and orches- tra are all under the capable leadership of Miss Whitten. Mr. Wesley Schaub directs the band. The members of the double quartet and Girl’s Glee Club wear uniforms, the girl’s uniform consists of a black jacket and a white skirt, and the boys uniform is a dark coat and l’ght trousers; thus both groups make a very pleasing appearance. Junior High has also produced an excellent girls’ Glee Club. It is com- posed of only Junior High students and has made several successful appear- ances at declamatory contests and at a program given by the Freshmen. The girls have had very good training and will be invaluable next year in the Senior High Clubs. The mixed chorus had decided to give “Pickles,” as the operetta this year but due to the illness of Miss Whitten it was found impossible to give it. The orchestra has been faithfully practicing every week and has given some very good programs at the various plays produced by the school. The most work by the orchestra will come during Commencement activities when it will play at the numerous Senior affairs. Miss Pauline Hirt also directed the orchestra in Miss Whitten’s absence. No football or basketball game would be complete without the band, with its cheery leader Wesley Schaub, to do its bit. The boys and girls wear white sweaters and white trousers or skirts. The band practices every week and the members turn out conscientiously. No school program would be complete without one or more numbers from some member of one of the musical organization or the organization as a group. Indeed, without our musical groups our school would be lost and the directors and students are to be congratulated on their successful season.

We’ve spent much time in study As our scholarship records show And high in our schools history The class of ’28 will go. Although we’re few in number High achievements have we made, In athletics and forensics Our honor will not fade. We’ve made a good beginning, For the great school of Life. We’ve had good preparation For a larger world of strife. And to strive to keep achieving As we answer Life’s great call, Is our farewell pledge to teachers, Our friends and classmates all.

She prepareth me for flunking in the presence of my classmates. She showeth me up. Verily, Geometry doth haunt me all the hours of my life and I shall dwell in W. C. H. S. forever.

On hy a _ Se Page 99 The Boys’ Basketball Team The Webster City Junior College basketball squad started practice about three weeks before the first scheduled game. On their first trip they played Wartburg Normal and Lenox Colleges, on the 8th and 9th of December respectively, winning the first game and losing the sec- ond by a margin of one point. This trip proved that the members of the team could match their talents with the best junior college teanis in the state. For the next few weeks the boys won and lost about the same number of games. However, about the middle of the season, the team was scheduled to play five games in seven days. This heavy schedule proved disasterous; in that the team lost four of the games. About this time in the season the team was much strengthened by the addi- tion of Elmer Williams and Raymond Ades, the latter a high school star. From then on the team played first class college basketball and defeated team who had formerly defeated them. We feel that our basketball season was a real success. The members of the squad were: RC Miao eS eee Guard (IC nc ee ee ee Guard ROLE CE EM et, Se eee Center Be MCD amie la eon. scse ze. Forward Forward R. Henegar Forward .

Cash Substitutes Page 100 The Girls’ Basketball Team The Red and Black basketeers enjoyed a successful season under the capable guidance of Captain Verva Elliott. Opponent after opponent in the Girls’ Tour- nament fell under their strenuous attacks until the last round. Then........ Wow! Fate dealt them a death blow when the College went down in defeat to the “high and mighty” Seniors, hitherto unlauded. Nevertheless the College “Squaws” demonstrated their skill as cagers and also as “all-around sports.” The personnel included Captain Verva Elliott and Miriam Butler as for- wards; Fern Barr and Evalyn Wilcox as centers; Grace Poston and Olive Ko- pecky as guards. As substitutes Gertrude Richards, Feriba Spielman, Celia Lewis and Mary Berogan were always ready. With a semi-veteran squad they should have a stellar team next year. Page 101 ‘The Sophomore Play “To the Ladies” was presented to an appreciative audience on the evening of Decel6, 1927. The story centers around the domestic life of a devoted young married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hamilton Beebe. The sweet and lovable young wife was ably played by Zelpha Leksell. The part of her egotistical husband, who provided the audience with continual merriment, was taken by Willis Scott. Mr. Beebe’s employer, John Kincaid, played by Bradford Stanerson, and his wife, Helen Scott, arrive for a visit at the Beebe home. Complications ensue, due to the talkativeness of Chester Mullin, portrayed by John Sanftner. These complications reach a climax at the banquet scene in the second act; but they are effectively straightened out by Mrs. Beebe and Mrs. Kincaid. And so, all ends happily. The men do direct the business but the wives direct the men, and hence, in conclusion, we can do nothing else but offer a grac- ious toast “To the Ladies.” The direction of this play was in the competent hands of Mrs. Helen Chase. The production was entirely smooth, carefully balanced, and the public felt that this was a play almost professional in its entirety.

It was asnappy, highly amusing little comedy, well written and well played. This is the story: is a somewhat impractical but undeniably ambitious mother. She has not, as Louise admits, “raised her daughter to be a poor man’s wife.” Louise really cares for Ted Rutherford, but they agree that his four thousand a year “wouldn’t keep them in gasoline.” Peeks the movie-mad seventeen-year-old sister, points out to Louise that Don Brown, a rancher from the West, has plenty of money, and she does her best to assist the romance. Her favorite query, when in dif- | ficulty, is: “What would Mary Pickford do now?” The scene is laid in the home of the Farnums on Long Island. Ida Farnum | | | Russell Farnum is the harrassed business man with plenty of troubles, his | family being not the least of them. Rannie and Bill Boyd, family retainer and ) night watchman, respectively, add much humor to the play. Diane Edgerton is | the typical vampire, and uses her wiles on both Farnum and Brown. She says I] that she intends to buy herself a husband some day. Skipping to the end of the play, Diane is left free to buy a husband, if she wishes, for Louise elopes with Ted the day before she is to be married to Don. Peeks does not scorn a “second-hand wedding ring,” and accepts Don with “It’s hot dog with me and I don’t mean maybe.” Page 103 Page 104 Page 105 19. 92 av. 18. 19. 20. 24. CALENDAR od a SEPTEMBER Vacation is over. Ain’t it hot? Gertrude Richards and Willis Scott enter school. Now we can really start. , We elect officers, and discover some politicians. Shall we initiate the Freshman, or—? Aw shucks, let’s just have a picnic. Rain. tain. Rain, and we have John Peppers in our “mist.” Merle Crosby recites: “Rain, rain go away, Little Merle wants to play.” OCTOBER We plan a barn dance only to find that the barn hasn’t been built! We hear rumors among the Sophomores of a play. Well, it seems that the long talked of “Mixer” is to be a Hallowe’en party. Will you please be in the play? ! ! The cast for “To the Ladies” is selected! va We spend our noon hour electing a Student Council. Miss Chamberlain has informed us that if she ever came to class with- out her lesson she would jump out of the window. We are rather wor- ried, for the other day she said, on entering Freshman English class, “I’m in a very bad humor today. Mr. Cash will you please open the window!” NOVEMBER Play practice is progressing. Mr. Rice is learning the art of using the monocle. Somebody asked Willis Scott, “Have you taken French?” And Willis replied, “Well, I’ve been exposed to it but I don’t know whether it’s going to take.” DECEMBER Information wanted: Miriam Butler would like to know if they have “conscience” in Africa! Whew! What a storm! Our Indians return from the trip minus a feather but w:th one scalp. “To the Ladies” is presented and Christmas vacation begins—a double dose of pleasures. JANUARY We’re off on a new semester, and Elmer Williams is back to cheer us up. We’re sorry to lose Gertrude Richards and Helen Young, but glad to gain Alvina Houskins of Duncombe. Evalyn Wilcox: “What would happen if someone got a Bachelor’s de- gree and then got married?” We lose the game at Fort Dodge. Looks like Friday the 13th is their lucky day! Oh, well, we beat Wartburg again. FEBRUARY Home from the trip with our feathers badly “beraggled,” but with a new name for “Hally.”” Meet Tom, fellows! Ah, ha! So the Freshmen are going to give a play. We’ll be there. Raymond Ades joins our ranks. Look out, Lenox! Too bad, Lenox, but we just had to do it. It would take more than a wooden horse, you Trojans, to beat our In- dians. Rah, Rah, College! We attribute part of our success to our yell leaders in their flashy new sweaters. We all go to Boone and wallop them good. Ellis Gore to Olive K., “What are you doing?” Olive: “Oh, just wander ing around.” Ellis: “Observing the Halls, I suppose.” Fort Dodge will admit that they don’t have much of a team. The girls strut their stuff! “Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, pin a rose on me!” MARCH The Freshmen will star in “Under Twenty. ” APRIL Freshmen present “Under Twenty.” We agree with you that it was fine! MAY Dinner dance! ! ? It’s all over now!

It is their week, and we have taken pains to see that our stocks of belts, suspenders, garters and shirts are strictly up to date. While feminine fashions have a bit the best of it today, we find, as we delve into history, that styles in men’s wear have an interesting background of romance and tradition. Consider the suspender in its drab usefulness, and then consider the immoral influences ascribed to it back in 1760 when a sober-faced delegation of Pennsylvania Quakers call- ed on the Rev. Talbot to remonstrate with him f his breeches in place with tape crossed over his shoulders, for keenin ror Keeping instead of by the drawstring precribed by public decency and morals. This of course is past history, and the problem of “we moderns” is not only to have a clear view of present styles, but to be able to peer just a bit into the future.
