Macomb High School Six Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 History of Macomb High School FEW years before 1800 Macomb High School was established, with the boys under the supervision of « male instructor and the girls under that of a woman. The boys went to a small building on the site of the present second ward building and the girls to the building which is now the Christian Science Church. The high school building was built in 1800 at the present site. Tin-first principal and the only teacher for several years was II. II. Smith. The first class graduated from Macomb High was graduated in 1808 and consisted of five girls. A class has been graduated each year since then. For the first few years Macomb High School averaged alnnit sixty pupils. The morning wns always n|H-ned with chapel exercises. The second principal was Matthew Andrews, who ap| ointed an assistant for himself. Miss Ahhie Summers. The subjects taught the first few years were: Higher Arithmetic: I. S. History: Civics; Advanced Algebra; Ancient History; Botany: Physiology; Chemistry: Latin: Greek: Geometry; Geology ; Rhetoric; Astronomy; Physics; Philoso- phy; Trigonometry, and Webers I niversal History. Monthly examinations were given with 100 ns excellent and 75 merely passing. Each pupil had an assigned seat. Talking wns not allowed in the halls. The Seniors were allowed all privileges as long as they did not disturb other pupils. The scIkkiI house burned in 1880. While the new building was l eing built, school was held in the Gatnagc building, the City building, and the Holland building. The building was finished in 1887 and is still standing. The cornerstone of the New High School building was laid in the spring of 1915 and was finished in September. 1910. The class of '20 en-tered the new building as eighth graders. V new system was introduced at this time known as the Junior-Senior High School. The Junior High consisted of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades and the Senior High of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. This system has been continued for the last five years and has been very successful. It was launched by Mr. Mangun and continued by Mr. Lynch, our present superintendent.

IIK Macomb High School in still fortunate in retaining its most able faculty. Words can but feebly express our appreciation of their noble and untiring efforts to promote the welfare of each and every student; to awaken in the student a knowledge of his own powers and a sympathetic response to the claims and beckoning of the Helds of knowledge lying about on every hand. We feel that they have been sympathetic and interested in the students to an unusual degree. Their appreciation of every honest effort has been a constant encouragement to the timid and doubting. We cannot come in contact with such noble lines without being the better for it without receiving a clearer faith, a larger hope, and a better understanding of the |M ssibilities and the meaning of life. We will realise more and more, as time passes, that the members of the faculty are true teachers; and we. the members of the Senior Class, unite in wishing them many years of successful work. The Faculty owe much of their success to Mr. I.ynch ami Mr. Wriglcy. our su| crintcndcnt and principal. We have, under their direction, grown into an institution of harmony and discipline, with a school spirit of which we may well In- proud. Mr. I.vnch came to us from Davenport, Iowa. He is well qualiHcd educationally, having 1). I), and A. B. degrees; ami having Im-cii elected a member of the Alpha chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa society of Iowa. It was thru his strenuous efforts that the teachers are to receive an increase in their salaries. He has accomplished a great deal in bringing the Maromli Public Schmds up to a high standard and they arc now pros| cring. .Mr. Wriglcy, our principal, was also with us again this year and we earnestly ho|M‘ he will remain with the Macoinh High for many years to come. The Seniors of '20 owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Wriglcy. for it was thru his efforts that the Macomb High Sclioo) was placed on the accredited list of the L of I. and also the Northwestern University. Misses Horton. Fuller. Foster. Langcnstcin. McCollum. Pack, and Holden and Mrs. Walker and Mr. Bugg came back to M. H. S. again this year. They are well known to all of us thru their former years of teaching here. Mrs. Hungcrford mothers a part of our flock in History. She is so quiet and demure that it took us a while to get acquainted. Mr. Rodgers is new—terribly so but we have become acquainted with him. We have found him kind. good and considerate. Miss Harkness drifted with her great big smile like a sunbeam into our midst. She is our advisor and we drink to her health a toast, for she is jolly. gcaal and wise. Miss Dorset! is our Botany and Commercial Geography ins true tor. We were not as well acquainted with her ns we would have liked to have been. Vet. here's to her success as a teacher in the Macomb High. Hiiftrm The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Our Faculty Miss Peterson is another new teacher. lien she entered the halls of M. H. S. the first time, one student asked another. “A Sen ior?” and received the reply. No. a Junior. I think. How absurd. Miss Peterson finished her Junior year years ago. She has won the hearts of many especially Seniors. Mr. Jack is our instructor in Higher Mathematics. He is a graduate of Illinois State Normal. His bright smile invariable brings the kinks out of your ill nature and sends you singing Imp pile the rest of your way. Miss Templin. instructor in Social Sciences, has fast won a place in our school. She has shown herself very well trained in her line of work, the Seniors can testify, as they have been under her instruction in various classes during the year. Miss Randolph is another one who is doing her very best for us. It seems as if we have been espeeiallv blessed this year in having a complete, up-to-date ami enthusiastic faculty. Miss F.llison. our Knglish and Physical Training instructor, was one of our new teachers this year. She lias proven a very fine and accomplished instructor in her line of work. Miss Cordell is also one of our new faculty members. She is loved by all her classes and held in the highest esteem by all the M. H. S. students. Mr. Koch, one of the alumni, could not stay awav from his Alma Mater, has returned as an instructor in the Junior High School. He is one of the most (mpular instructors in M. H. S. If you doubt this, just take a peep at his class room door morning, noon and night. Mr. Motter came into our midst, smiling and mistaken at first for a classmate. As time went on we gre w to revere and honor him very highly. He was our athletic coach during the foot hall and basket ball seasons. The team may attribute much of their success in winning so many victories to Mr. Motter. He also taught our Junior High School, readin’, writin. and spellin'. M. H. S. regretted Mr. Motter’s leaving very much. Mr. Graham came to fill tin- vacancy made by Mr. Mutter’s leaving. He is very well qualified in his work. Altho new at the vocation of coaching, we are confident of his success. Mrs. Hunt is our new Art instructor. She is very efficient along this line of work and we earnestly hojK she will remain with us. FouMmo The Spider Web, iqao Macomb High School M.tRliARKT II. FtM-l-lR A. B. Degree.

We were coached during our Freshman year by Miss Turk. Our first year was uneventful, aside from a few social gatherings. “Sophs! Some one has said that the most accomplished are those who say the least about their accomplishments, but when we became Sophomores we felt that we had reached a stage at which we ought not only to be seen but heard. Our advisor, this year, was Miss Kenner and thru her encouragement we pledged ourselves to support a French Orphan. We were successful in our attempt, but the greater portion of our success may be attributed to our worthy advisor. Miss Kenner. Although we had only one representative on the varsity eleven and five.” we were very proud of him. He proved himself versatile and was most essential for the success of the teams. Fate seemed against us as we entered on the joys and pleasures, the duties and rcs|H� nsibilitics of the school year. 1918-19. We had just begun work in earnest when we were halted by tin flu. We had several social activities this year, among which was a “kid party. Wc came dressed as kids and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We took first prize also at the box supper, much to tin-chagrin of the Seniors and Sophomores. On April 21. we entertained the faculty and Seniors with an informal banquet, which was a great success. Wc owe a large share of our success to our advisor. Miss Fuller, who so ably assisted us in all our undertakings. The social life of our class was more extensively cultivated this year. During the year we held a Hallowe’en party, a wienie roast, and a party for the winners of the F.nglish debate. It was during our Sophomore year that the I nited States en tered the Great War. The first boy to join the colors was a Sophomore. The boy who paid the supreme sacrifice was a Sophomore. Seniors alas! I)iguificd( ?) Seniors. What a number of rec ollections of the past five years rush into our minds when we sec that title. We have I lad many victories and failures, ami recall all of them with more or less pleasure. We started out in September, forty-four strong, but alas; Our number has dwindled to forty-one. Two of the departed ones have embarked upon the Sea of Matrimony. Twenty -«x Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 Tin- fore | ;irt of the year we obtained our Senior class rings and pins. Beautiful? Of course they were. How distinguished we were wherever we went! The faculty members are proud of us. altho they have threatened to Hunk us in Physics, and frightened us until we turned pah-in Sociology. We put on one of the best circuses ever staged in this city. The Class Play has been selected. It will, no douht. be a marked success, owing to the dramatic talent in the class. A large |Hirtion of our suet-ess may In- attributed to our patient advisors. Misses darkness and Puller. The year is coming to a close and soon we shall leave our Alma Mater, hut never shall we forget her and the pleasant times we sja-nt together within her walls. And again, we. the Class of 20. will thank the members of the faculty who have always been ready to help us in our work: helping us to wade thru the deep water of learning and landing us safely on the other side. And now may we always remain staunch and true, and alwavs recall the pleasant davs and deeds of the vears s|M-nt in M. If. S.‘ Aon us C. McGinnis T«fnlyK� cn TKe Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Class Poem Ruby Lusk There's a valley where the sunlight falls. Three leafy trees upon a merry throng. And hreeacs blow afar their calls Which echo down the forest isles in song; The foaming stream of time its current flings Hi-side the covert where the sybil sings. The forest is this wise and noble school. The valley fair the entrance into life; The elass of ’20 has passed beneath the rule. It is prepared to meet the universal strife. The Class sings of the joy their High School days Have given them while treading Prudence's ways. Great memories of ’20 will e’er be Knthroncd in the hearts of all the rest. For laurels of Apollo's sacred tree Have crowned these victors faithful to tin- test; They’ll never fail, because their motto reads; To the stars thru Indts and bars.” Such a one succeeds.

We will soon leave those corridors that have held so much for us and realise, as never before, the pleasures and benefits that our four years in high school have given us. We are unites! now bv tin lx� nds of friendship and similar ideals. We leave school with confidence and appreciation. sure of the future, and appreciation of past favors. Our first meeting, as a class, resulted in a thorough organisation of forces to cope with tin- duties ahead of us. Misses McCollum and Harkness clinched the advisorship. In the middle of the year we lost Miss McCollum, and Miss Fuller succeeded her as a result of her faithfulness and proved ability while with us last year. Your humble servant succeeded F.mily Johnson to the presidential chair only after a strenuous campaign among her most influential friends. We had a hard time keeping a secretary. May Fuhr quit us Xmas and Ksther O'Harra kindly offered to take up the responsibilities of the office. F.mily Johnson has shown her business ability by the most efficient handling of the class treasure. Charles Greeley has led the Spider Web work in a most pleasing and highly complimentary manner. The class has done all that can be ex|H cted of a like ImhIv and its cooperation has been very encouraging to the officers. No one has been overworked but all have contributed most loyally to the work. When we look back over the four years almost completed we feel that our efforts have not been in vain. In fact, our efforts and our time have Iwcn worth while. Minnabri. Switzer Clatn Prrsifirnt Thirl jr TU Spider Web, ic2o Macomb High School Lira i.lx Barit Rkoda Bnrdolph H. S.. I7-’IK; M H.

Mo., where she was hailed as the “Silver-tongued Orator” from Goshum. Illinois: also received a pair of horn-rimmed glasses from her. September 10. 1923 Left for Chicago this morning on the 2:38 and was met at tin-station by Lucille F.arly Van Hoseansocks. She seems very happy since her marriage to tin- Duke and she lives in a continual social whirl. 12:00 p. m. I am almost overcome. 1 went to the La Salle to-night with Evelyn Bonham, who is studying art at the Institute and draws lovely, indistinguishable things on hrown paper with yellow crayons and she calls them futurist paintings. They certainly are “futurist paintings to me—but jx-rhaps bv the time they get their third or fourth coat of paint, they will lx exceptionally clever. But I'm so excited I can hardly write. Whom should I see to-night hut Flossie Myers and Lawrence Gainagc in a perfectly killing slap-stick comedy act at the theater, hut I was so completely overwhelmed at seeing some of my old classmates that the only thing I can remember about the entire act was the last part of their conversation which went something like this: Gamage: “Sav. you have never met my wife, have you?” Flossie: “No, I have never had that pleasure. Gamage: What makes you think it’s a pleasure? Flossie: Oh. but anyway. I'm going to have mv rights I'm going to vote, drink, smoke, hang around the polls. Gamage: Well, you might as well hang around them as any other nationality.” Can you l ent it? September II. 1925 Delivered my lecture and received a large ovation. Afterwards an old friend of mine. John Kirkpatrick, came up and shook hands and asked me if I didn’t want to go to a few of the large cities and s|K ak. I was delighted, so I signed a contract with him. He is a Ivceum manager and I leave to-morrow for New York. Received a letter from Agnes McGinnis to-day. She states sin is just building her third home for the aged and decrepit )xxtdles. And that she just loves the jxx r dears.” September 12, 1925 Have just been reading the latest breach of promise suit in the New York Times. The pa|x r states that the dashing young beauty. Golda McCullough, has filed a £ 100.000.00 suit against Lloyd G. Hocraffer for breach of promise. Mr. Hoeraffer states that he is not a bigamist hut a law-abiding citizen and that he is already wedded to the art of manufacturing pills and liquid toothpaste and that he could not think of taking another w’ife. This excited me so much that I almost forgot and went off to my lecture without my automatic fire extinguisher and my instan- Forty-fivc Macomb High School The Spicier Web, 1920 Senior Class Prophecy tuncous burglar alarm ( which, by the way. I always carry with me: for in these days of blood, thunder and sudden death, it is always best to be prepared). My burglar alarm is a lovely little thing, weighing only twenty pounds, invented by Mary Harks, an old classmate of mine, who has gained no small renown in the inventive world. It is guaranteed not to rust, break, freeze, or explode, and is worn around the neck like a neeklace. September 13. 1925 Didn't lecture to-dav on account of it l eing Friday, the 13th. Received a letter from Helen Baker to-day. She says she likev her position of physical training instructor in the Pergola, Illinois.

I arrived lu re at 8:50 and registered, unpacked my ease, and put a clean shirt waist on tin- lu-d. Went down to the Tourraine Music Store to try and get Til be Waiting on the Bar for mamma. I was awfully surprised to find that Harry Bostick was the proprietor. We talked quite awhile. Pretty soon the office boy came running in and asked if he could have the afternoon off to attend the circus. Good night! 1 said, Do they have circuses here in this educated village?” Do they?” the kid veiled. Oh. babv! you tell ’em. But just listen to this.” whereupon he hauled a very dirty newspaper from out of the depths of a side |x ckct and started to read: Made moiscllc O’Harra in her stupendous, dare-devil, death-defying, breath-taking, hair-raising, blood-curdling. des|K rate. devilish. flight thru the air.

When we all exacted her to be a missionary to the Hawaiian Islands, but you never can tell.” Almut noon I came back to my hotel and found a little black dog on my lied complacently eating the front out of my only clean waist. But by the time I had pulled my instantaneous burglar alarm and had my automatic fire extinguisher set up (which, by the way, is lot automatic any more—having been set up and taken down so often that it is on the wane and rather inclined to Ik a trifle shaky), the beast had got away. I later learned that it iM-longed to a rather eccentric old maid who stays across the hall and allows that damaging animal to roam everywhere. Before lunch I ran down to a Chinese laundry with a waist and almost frightened the Chink proprietor to death by nearly getting down on my knees and begging him to have it laundered Ik fore six o’clock to-night. On tin way back to the hotel I saw an immense crowd gathered on the street corner. Being curious. I walked over and ns I edged myself nearer. I saw in the center of the gathering a strangely familinr figure standing on a soap l ox and wildly waving her Forty-«ix The Spider Web, iq2o Macomb High School Senior Class Prophecy firms apparently in tin- act «f convincing the bystanders with a certain line— something like this: I.a—dees and Gent ilmun— Mv suspicions were correct after hearing that voice—I knew that it was Kmily Johnson.

Now. Indies and gent—” I waited to hear no more but rushed up and after shaking hands with the lady, I ordered one for mamma—she never did like to peel |M� tatocs. After lunch I went back after my waist. It was done, though rather damp. 'Pile Chinaman seemed very unhappy. After my lecture to-night, who should come up and shake hands with me hut Vera Howd. I was awfully glad to see her and rather surprised to learn that she was married and living in Brooklyn. 1 asked her how she had met her husband and she said she had met him thru Nita Coxads anil Marguerite Sturgeons Matrimonial Bureau. That was the first time I had heard anything alxiut Nita's and Peg's bureau, but Vera said they were very famous in the east, but while scorning matrimony for themselves. hel|H-d others to a state of wedded bliss. I leave for Washington in the morning. September J5, 1925 I had to run to eatcli the train this morning. At the last minute I found that that detestable beast of a | oodle had eaten the heel completely off of one of my shoes (1 ho| e it kills him), and I had to almost unpack my trunk before I found another pair. On the way to Washington this morning, who should get on the train but Eleanor Morlev and Bernice Burnham. I was awfully glad to see them and very highly gratified to hear that Klcanor was at the head of the commercial art department at the Washington School of Arts, but rather surprised to find that Bernice had given up her very much desired career of throwing a miscellaneous assortment of pies in Mack Sennet’s Comedies to Ik- Harrison Fisher's model. We were just passing Hinsdale. Md.. when Bernice said: “Oh! Kathryn, did you know what happened to Fred Rainey?” Of course I couldn't imagine, but I Imped he hadn’t married or anything like that. “Oh. no! lie's not married, but it is almost as bad. He nearly got thrown into jail.” “Into jail!” I shrieked. “How? Why. the last time I heard of him lie was out chasing bugs and beetles and had just alnnit decided to go into the poultry business or something like that. Yes, that’s just it—lie’s a naturalist and is living in Washington now. The other day he got to chasing some rare kind of bird or something called Blasco Ibcncx and “Why,” I murmured, Isn't that something to eat?” But Eleanor said she thought it was the name of a | orm. so Bernice continued— Well. I don't know what it is. but that's what he called it. Anyway he chased it all around Washington and finally it lit on one Forty-«rvcn The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Senior Class Prophecy of those cupola things on the White House. So he climbed up after it and was just in the act of catching it with one of those white nets on a stick, when some officials saw him and thought he was a spy waving signals to the enemy, when he wasn't at all—only trying to catch that bird- and they hauled him down and nearly arrested him before he could explain to them that he was perfectly harmless and only naturalizing the city.” Just then the train pulled into Washington and we parted. Rather amazed 1 managed to scramble off the train and climb into a delapidated hack of the 1670 vintage. I never would ride in automobiles—they are so uncertain. I was awfully excited at first when I found that I had forgotten my automatic fire extinguisher and left it on the train—but then when 1 thought it over 1 decided that it was for the Ix-st. as it was getting worn out and becoming very heavy. Pretty soon I leaned out of the window and yelled at the cabman. who was pretending to read a newspaper (I knew he was pre tending, because he was holding it upside down), and asked him if he knew where I could buy one for myself. No. ma’am. I don’t, but you kin have this one.” Thanks.” I said, but just then I caught sight of the horse that was pulling that mere apology for a hack. “Awk 1 I gasped. “What’s the matter with your horse? Why. he'd have to drink muddy water to make a shadow.” Oh! he’s lots better now. I gave him some of this here Karel Benson’s ’Horse Meal Compound.' and it kinda done him up a bit. You see. it was guaranteed to give him pep. but he got so blamed jieppy that he nearly jazzed himself to death. “Oh!” I grabWd the newspaj er and retired into the hack. So Andy” Benson was making horse meal coni|H unds in order to keep the gray wolf from the door. But just then I arrived at my hotel. When 1 got out of the hack, every one was standing still and it seemed to me as if they were trying to swallow pills without water, with heads up. necks craned, mouths open, apparently staring off into space. Being only human. I stopped stock still, raised my head, craned my neck. o|H ncd my mouth and tried to stare intelligently off at the clouds like the rest. Pretty soon I heard the low rumble like the roar of a motor and into my part of the cloud I hail been analyzing, soared a long. low. graceful plane rising, falling, spinning, diving; really doing impossible stunts. I turned around to a pretty girl next to me and said: Who’s the pilot? She blushed, which I thought very funny, and said: Why. that’s Paul Nebergall. He is really very wonderful, you know. He tries out government planes to see if they are running smoothly. Paul Nebergall! I gasped. Why. I know him. He grad uated in the same class I did. Of course we talked awhile and I learned that she was Paul’s fiance and they were to lx- married in June. After that. I registered at inv hotel and wrote a letter to Julia Vosc. who is private secretary to Mrs. Wigginton Wiggins Davenant of Kenosha. Wisconsin, and told her how badly I felt when I left the window open on the little | et camel Hon she had given me and it had frozen to death. (She raises these little imitation alligators when sin- is not busy at classic work.) While 1 was at lunch to-dav the fire whistle blew ami every one Foay� :slit TKo Spider Web, iqao Macomb High School Senior Class Prophecy jumped up and ran out to see where it was just like they do in Macomb whenever someone's chicken house catches on fire. The fire was just around the corner, so most of us went over. It hap|H-ncd to Ik- a Dog Hospital and I remembered vaguely afterwards of reading this inscription: The Faithful Dog is Your Best Friend ’ done in beautiful scroll design above the door and remembering that vicious animal that had ruined my waist and a pair of oxfords. I rather doubted the statement. I was standing out in the middle of the street wishing I had not left my automatic fire extinguisher on the train when some one interrupted my thought by shoving me aside with. Gang-way! This is the b.-st one vet! and camping a few yards ahead of me. proceeded to set up a camera and calmly snap everything that came within her range. Suddenly I dashed forward. Why. Mary Hoark ! What on earth are you doing here?” Why. hello! Mow'd you hap|x-n to Ik- here? I'm taking pictures for the New York Times. But pardon me just a minute, if you please, while I get this. And she snapped a woman running across the street with a barking | ood!c in her arms. Who's the woman? I queried, when she had completed the operation. Oh! I don’t know. I’ll hand it in as Mrs. Potter Palmer 3rd. or some one like that, rescuing her famous Pomeranian poodle from the sixth story of a burning building the public will never know the difference, and for all I know she may 1m- the Queen of Utopia. But can't you come to dinner this evening? And who do you suppose I saw the other night? Of course I couldn't guess: so she told me how she had gone to a ball given at the Capitol for the Ambassador of Uraguay and his wife in order to write it up for the Times” and found the Ambassador's wife to Ik- no other than Marie Haulk. looking quite wonderful in a gown of gold cloth and jet. Of course this interested me very much and I nearly missed my lecture. i leave to-morrow for Fort Wayne. September 10. 1925 Well! Who do you sup| ogc I saw this morning? Kubv Jennings and Ruth fiindnmn. and in a most unusual way, too. I had just stcp|M-d off tin- train and was undecided which way to go when a rather unusual looking woman with red hair and fourteen bundles (I count'd them) fell down suddenly and sprained her ankle. After a little while, an ambulance came up and stop|M-d. Two white clad nurses emerged from the ambulance and examined the lady's ankle. There was something familiar about the nurses and I was just trying to place them, when they turned around and I discovered they were Ruby and Ruth. After they had hel|M-d the woman into the ambulance. I went up anil s)M ke to them, and they asked me if I didn’t want to come with them and see the hospital and the grounds. I gladly consented and on the way we got to talking about old M. II. S. and our peppy Senior class meetings which invariably resulted in a half a dozen casualties. Of course they asked all about Macomb and I told them about Ruth Price Iw-ing married to the professor of Mathematics at tin Normal and about Maurine Walston signing the contract with the Metro film corporation to produce five of the most famous plays written by Nancy Kirkpatrick. Of course they wanted to know all about Maurine and Nancy. So I told them how last fall Maurine had been visiting Minnie Switzer in I .os Angeles and right then I had to stop and explain that Minnie was teaching aesthetic dancing in the I .os Angeles Art School but was coming cast to take a course Forty-nine Macomb High School at Columbia University. Anyway, while there, Mnurinc had become interested in the movies and thru a very influential friend of Min nie's had secured a position with Universal and had made such a brilliant success that she had decided to make dramatics her lift work. As everyone is reading Nancy's hooks now. there was very little 1 could sav about her. only that she makes heaps of money and lives in Macomb. I was very interested in the hospital and its grounds, but rather relieved when I got away, as part of the hospital was for the insane. There was one poor girl there who was always throwing stones to see if they would explode. This reminded me of our chemistry class when Mary Lem me r ruined the class by dropping an experimental ImmuI) on a stone slab. But still if Mary hadn't dropped that Immh she never would have hit u|H� n the idea of inventing the harmless, noiseless and non-explosive ones. Florence Sipes was telling me al out her the last time 1 was in Kalamazoo. Florence is living there now and is Superintendent of the School for the Deaf. Dumb and Blind. She says her work is very interesting and enjoys telling stories and drawing pictures for the inmates. She told nic all about Mary’s having her home in Pensacola. Florida, taking only government orders and doing a perfectly amazing business. Only two more lectures to deliver. September 17. 1925 I got into Chicago at 11 :30 and took lunch with June Churchill, who is doing settlement work over on the West Side. In the afternoon we went to hear Stella Butterfield lecture at the Field Museum on Egyptian antiquities and hieroglyphics, which was all very interesting, especially the part where she was chased up the Nile by a paternal crocodile. That night we went to the Auditorium and heard Gladys Spicer as Carmen in an oja-ra. She is wonderful and her voice is much improved after studying in Europe. September IS. 1925 I have been up since 1:00 o’clock this morning trying to locate just where a very pungent odor of gas was escaping. At first I was very excited and thought that I was being asphyxiated and as the bell hops all seemed to 1m- busily engaged elsewhere, entirely t M busy to answer a poor woman's call for help. I was one of the most charming figures of the decade dancing down the hall in a red and green kimona and a straw hat. (I had to put that hat on to keep too inquisitive bystanders from detecting my clever scheme to help nature along in regard to my hair.) I at last trailed the day clerk to his office and who should be there hut May I’uhr and Mary W liitc dressed in sombreros, short skirts, and high top Ingots. On account of mv picturesque attire they didn’t know me at first, but after I had explained to them that I was Kathryn Blume of Macomb (and not a mere piece of local color), they rememlM-red me clearly. It seems they had just arrived in Chicago from the west where they are engaged in ranching and own several thousand acres of Texas land. May explained that Mary transacted all the business, while she attended the roundups and other ranch duties. Now. far Im- it from me to usurp the powers of creation, but I can’t imagine May Fulir on the back of a vicious broncho in tin- act of lassoing a wayward cow or two! But. of course, being naturally retiring. I didn't sav so. I talked to them until the clerk came and then I went up with him to try and detect where the gas was coming from. But when we Fifty The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Senior Class Prophecy put there, there was no peculiar odor at nil. which made the clerk very peevish and lie mumbled something under his breath nl� out mv “olfactory nerves being on the blink, but by the time I bad looked up olfactory in the dictionary, lie bad gone. So. of course. I couldn't express my opinion of him | ersonally. but I took it all out mentally. Leave for borne to-night at six o’clock, and after all. Macomb is a great old place.

K. MOTTER A. R. Motter arrived in Macomb in the fall of 1919 to take up his duties as Coach of M. II. S. The foot Imll men soon found out that he knew his business. He produced an excellent foot ball team and a great deal of credit is due him for the showing the team made. Coach Mottcr has the credit of putting out the best basket ball team that M. H. S. ever supported. Being a basket ball man himself. he knew the game and how to get the best results from bis men. He possessed higher ambitions and is now learning the |x� rce lain business in this city and we all hope that he will make a success of it and some day own and operate a factory of his own. Scvrnty-threr Macomb Higk School The Spider Web, iqao ASSISTANT COACH GKOROK KOC H Mr. Koch filled the office of assistant coach this year and it was evident that he had not forgotten his days in athletics. He was always able to contribute helpful knowledge on the technique of f a� t ball. As he played half back in his younger days, he generally took charge of the back field in practice, while Coach Matter instructed the line. Mr. Koch was always able to put fight into the players and the team was helped very much by his services. Sorenty-fotir The Spicier Web, 1920 COACH NORMAN OKAHAM After the resignation of Mr. Motter. we were left without an athletic coach. As wc have always been lucky in securing excellent coaches, wc kept up the record by securing Norman J. Graham to fill the vacancy. As Mr. Motter had finished the basket ball season, lie was only needed for track. Coach Graham's Imnl work and coaching was noticeable from all angles. He turned out a good track team and we arc sure he could do equally as well in other branches of athletics.

The team was strengthened this year by the return of William Striekland and Klvin Wright, two old foot ball men who had been in the navy. RUSHVILLK vs. MACOMB The o|M ning game of the season was played with Rushville. The team was determined to show Schuyler County that Macomb, altlio just a small part of the world, could put out a good foot ball team, and they did. because the score read to 0. This game was one of the im|M)rtant games of the season, as it enabled Coach Motter to pick out the weak places in the team and eventually strengthen them. MACOMB vs. CARTHAGE Outweighed in the line and faced by a team that was composed practically of all-seasoned veterans of the gridiron. M. II. S. met defeat at the hands of Carthage in our second game of the season. The final score was 27 to 0. MACOMB vs. 01 INCY The Macoinb-Quinev game was hard fought thruout. neither team scoring in the first half. Macomb in the second half seemed to have more steam and in the first ten minutes of play scored two touchdowns. Man! practice and coaching since the Carthage game showed its effect on the team. The game ended with M. II. S. having I 1 and Quincy 0. GAI.KSBURG vs. MACOMB It was in this game that the M. 11. S. fool ball team showed what they were made of. This was the hardest game of the season and backed by the determination to beat Galesburg, a team M. H. S. had never beaten before, the team fought as they had never fought before, but to no avail. Galesburg won the game in the last minute and a half of play bv a score of 6 to 0. with two well directed forward passes. PEORIA vs. MACOMB This game, like the Galesburg game, was hard fought from start to finish. Macomb was the first team to score on Peoria Manual this year. Strickland did some great playing at defensive full and a great deal of eredit is due him. Peoria hit something that was stronger than they expected. They scored 17 to our 7. MACOMB vs. MONMOUTH Monmouth, as usual, had a good foot ball team and this game was hard fought like the other ones. We were slightly outweighed, but by being able to play better foot ball, we overcame that handicap. Monmouth couldn't catch 011 to our trick plays. Willey was back in old form once more and carried the ball over for the last touchdown of the game and season. The game ended with a score of 20 to 13 in our favor.

STRICKLAND Rill came hack to ginid old M. II. S. after getting his discharge from tile navy. Playing at full hack lie was the strongest man on the team on defense and equally as good on offense. A hard, clean tackier and a sure ground gainer on line smashes. S venijr-nine Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 Foot Ball Individuals MlKPHY Murphy started the season at quarter tmek. but was soon put in at half. Although lie was tlx lightest man on the team, he was the most aggressive player, and never stop| ed lighting until the last whistle was blown. He could always be depended upon if a few yards were needed. SAL A Sain was a new man on the team this year but he showed us what he could do. He started at end. but Inter was given the generalship of the team, and the way he managed the team showed great headwork. He will probably be back on the team next year. Eighty The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Foot Ball Individuals WRIGHT Buck also came hack to fight for Old M. H. S.. after serving several years in the L S. Navy. Playing at half hack, lie dcvclo|x d some wonderful foot ball ability always ready when needed and a hard tackier. We hope he will be with us again next year. 1)1'RR Bill was unable to come out for the team until about half tin- season was gone. Playing at tackle, he was the most aggressive player in the line and a great teammate for Strickland on defense. We hope to see him playing a greater game next year. Eighty-onr Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 Foot Ball Individuals WILLEY Hip WAS hack again at his old end position. He was a steady player, and no matter how hard the man on the uprising team tried, he could never get outside. Hip’s motto was “Keep your man inside, catch passes and plenty of speed. He made the last touchdown of the season at Monmouth and also his Inst touchdown, as he will not he hack next year. BOLEN Bolen held down one of the end positions. He was always on his toes trying to catch his oppo nents unawares. He was fast and expert at catching passes. He could always lie depended upon to get the man receiving the punt. He will he hack again next year and we 1k |x- he plays his position better than ever before. hlftfltjr-lMiO The Spider Web, iq2o Macomb High School Foot Ball Individuals JACKSON Bill was hack again at his old position in the line. Whenever a hole in the opponents line was called for. lie was there to make it. lie has another year in which to play and will Ih- a valuable man next year. His |H� sition was at guard. MOON Mooney played tackle on the right wing. He was always in the thick of the tight and no matter what hap| ened. he always had a never say die grin on his face. He will be luick again next year and we expect much of him. Kighty-thrcc Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 Foot Ball Individuals TERRY Terry was a new man on the team and also a new man to foot ball, having never played any before he came here. It did not take him long to develop into one of the l ost centers M. H. S. ever had. He could always lx- depended upon to pass the hall accurately and to take his man out of the play. GILCHRIST Gillv was another new man and he played at guard. He was a big man and well qualified for his position.

With this year's experience, he will lx- a valuable man next year. Bill is the youngest man to receive a letter in M. II. S. The Seconds of Foot Ball The Seconds this year were a rather small hunch of men. They had the light that it takes to make a good team and they gave the firsts some good opposition in practice. A great deal of credit is due them and they received part of the honor that the first team got. Wayne Yard and George Dunsworth received monogram letters for their work on the second team.

He could always he depended upon to get his share of the points in every game. He made the first tournament teams at the Normal Invitational Tournament and at the Canton District Tournament. SAI. A Sala. playing at forward, was one of the Inst mainstays any team ever had. lie played in more games than any other man and lie always got more baskets in the second half than in the first, showing by this a good comeback at the Chicago University Interstate Tournament. Sala had the honor of making more baskets in a single game than any other man who played at the tournament. He totaled thirteen baskets. Highly-eight The Spider Weh, iq2o Macomb High School Basket Ball Individuals RAINEY .'Vs a floor guard Rainey was never outclassed and the opposing team was beaten out of a great number of baskets by bis wonderful guarding. He was also good on baskets, making some of the most spectacular baskets of the season. He made the Normal Invitational First Tournament team. DURR Hill was one of the best centers Macomb High ever had. He always played a whirlwind game and was ready with a basket at any time one was needed badly. He played an exceptional game at Monmouth. He placed on the second team at the Normal Invitational Tournament. Kighty-nine Macomb High School STRICKLAND Bill, after being out of basket ball for two years, returned and took his old position at back guard. He could always Ik- depended upon to get the ball when it was too near the opponent's basket. Many a game was saved by his hard lighting and wonderful guarding. BOLEN Bolen received his second letter in basket ball this year. Bolen could always 1m de|M nded upon to get his share of the baskets and he was also a tiger on defense. He got into most of the games and always made a gocnl showing. In the final game of the V. I. S. N. Tournament lie saved the day for M. II. S. by shooting the winning basket. Ninety The Spicier Web, 1920 Macomb High School Basket Ball Individuals WRIGHT Hack, plnving hi first year of basket ball, developed into a good back guard. Hr will be baek again next year and should make a wonderful guard. SNYDER Small but mighty, Dutch was one of the hardest fighters on the team. He could always be de| ended u|m� ii to give all lie had and whenever he was put into a game every one was confident that he would hold down his man. Ninety-one The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Basket Ball Games MACOMB M PLYMOUTH 2 At Macomb The first basket Imll game of the season was a practice game with Plymouth. This game was an easy victory for M. If. S. as Plymouth got only one field basket. This game also gave Coach Mottcr a clearer conception of what kind of material 'he had for his team. MACOMB t3 BARDOI.PH 10 At Macomb The second game of the season was played with Bardolph. It was also a practice game. Although we did not heat them as had as we did Plymouth, it was an easy victory. This game helped the team because a team must have so much real playing before it can get on its feet and play real basket ball. MACOMB 88 ABINGDON 23 At Abingdon At the end of the first half Abingdon was three | oints in the lead and the game was looking rather dark for us. Abingdon thought they had tile game won but they were mistaken, as the score shows. During the second | eriod that old Macomb fighting spirit was evident. as we gathered in sixteen points to our opponents three, placing us ten )M ints in the lead. MACOMB 28 BUSHNFILL 17 At Macomb We hang another scalp to our belt. Although Hushnell would have liked to defeat us. they could not. They played a scrappy game, but our guards disputed their right to slip tin- hall thru the ring. Murphy and Durr had excellent team work and they scored almost at will. The game ended with Bushnell holding the small end of the roj c. MACOMB 85 FARMINGTON 12 At Macomb Farmington was 111 easy victory for Macomb and it was not very difficult to run up a large score. Subs were run in the second half and they also added to the score. MACOMB tf) MONMOUTH 13 At Macomb We did not know what to expect from Monmouth because no one had seen them play ami it was rumored that they had a good team. The Coach told the team to go in ami give them lot , of fight, hut by the time the first quarter was up. wc could see that we had Monmouth outclassed. Part of tin- second team was run in the second half ami they also scored |xiints against Monmouth. Ninety iwo Macomb High School The Spicier Web, 1920 Basket Ball Games MACOMB 38 Bl’SHNF.I.I. 21 At Bushuell Tht return inn with Hu� lin ll was played on their own Boor. Owing to the smallness of their Boor and heeause a team usually plays better basket ball at home, we didn’t cx|R ct the score to In as large as in the first game. But owing to some unknown reason, wc In at them by three more (Hunt than in the other game. Bushneli, as usual, put up a snappy tight, but owing to our su| er-obility they could not beat ils. MACOMB 18 NOR MAI. ACADEMY 7 At Academy There is a gnat deal of rivalry between the Academy and M. II. S. for the championship of the city in all branches of athletics. In the first game of basket ball played by the two schools the Academy was defeated by eleven |M ints. It was a snappy game and rather pugilistic at times. MACOMB 31 —GALES BURG 29 At Galesburg This was undoubtedly the hardest game of the season. There was never a difference of more than two or three |M� ints in the scores thruout the game. It looked as though Galesburg would hand us another defeat, but the gods were with us and we won. MACOMB 38 I.EWISTOWN 13 At Macomb We had heard of I.cwistown and the report was that they hail a fair team. Of course wc did not rely too much on this ami Coach Motter instructed the men to go in and play basket ball, but after a few minutes of playing it could be seen that we were going to have an easy victory. The second team was put into the game in the last half and Lew is town scored a number of | oints on them but the first team's lead was sufficient to give us the large end of the score. MACOMB 12 FARMINGTON 20 At Farmington Farmington suffered another defeat at the hands of Macomb. Macomb had formed such a habit of winning that she couldn't break herself of it, so she tossed thru another victory to the tune of 12 to 20. MACOMB 17 I.EWISTOWN 10 At fx'wistown We met I.cwistown again on the next Friday after their other game with us. As only the first team was on this trip, the score was larger than la-fore. Ix-wistown met the defeat like true sportsmen and they treated the team to a very excellent chicken supper and dance after the game. Ninety-three Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 Basket Ball Games MACOMB 12 ACAD KM Y 26 At Macomb The Academy was determined to band us our first defeat of the Reason and also to make up for the defeat suffered at our hands. The game was hotly contested but we were never in danger of having our record broken. MACOMB 20 GALESBURG 18 At Macomb The second game with Galesburg was just like the first as far as the score was concerned, as they met defeat in both games bv two points. This was a fast, scrappy game, undecided from start to fin ish. MACOMB 17 MONMOUTH 12 At Monmouth We did not know what to expect at Monmouth after what hap pened at our foot ball game with them there. But we soon found out. Better s|M rtsmanship could not have been shown us. The team played a whirlwind game and defeated Monmouth badly. Our team did not make a single foul thruout the game. Monmouth gave the team a party after the game. Ninety four The Spider Web, icao - Macomb High School Tournaments Normal Tournament Macomb High School won first honors in the Western Illinois Normal Invitational Tournament held on the 19th, 20th and 21st. of February.

After defeating the first tlirt e teams above. we entered the finals against Canton and met defeat for the first time during the year in a very hard fought game. Both teams were handieap|K d by the large crowd that took up some of the playing space of tin floor. This was a fast and snappy tournament as some of the best teams in the state were there and it was a straight elimination tournament. The teams were treated royally by the Canton people, as there was not enough hotel accommodations for all the players.

Consequently', the results of the year before are always written up uni given in this volume for the meets participated in last year. After a lapse of two years. Macomb resumed her track activities once more. Though handicapped by this vacant |H-riod in this part of athletics. M. 11. S. brought U|M n the field a team worthy of her other teams. Owing to bad weather practice wfas not started until April 7. But after work was once gotten under way. Coach Coleman worked the men in their different events. THF. BRADI.KY MEET AT PEORIA Our first meet was at Peoria which is carried on under the auspices of Bradley Polytechnic Institute. We were unable to make any |Miints in this meet but the team felt that they had made something bv going, because they learned a great ileal. Champaign, with a very good team, placed first, and Elmwood was a close second out of tin- twenty-four schools represented. The men that Coach Coleman took to this meet were Captain Rainey. Yard. Murphy. N’ebcr-gall. Bostick, and Greeley. MILITARY TRACT HIGH SC HOOL MEET Our second meet was our own meet because the Military' Tract was held under the auspices of M. H. S.

Although Rainey had never practiced for the hurdles, he entered in this event at the Military and placed, much to his surprise as well as ours. He placed in tin- 50 at the Military and also in the same at the Neighlxirhood. He also put the shot and was one of the relay team. KAIt I. MIR PHY Murpli was an all-round track man hut lxing superior in field events, he did not eom|H‘te in any of the track events. Although Murpli did not place at the Bradley meet, he deserves credit for the good showing that In made. He placed first in the high jump, the running broad jump, second in the running broad jump, the pole vault and third in the running high jump, and in the standing broad jump at the Military and the Neighborhood meets. HARRY BOSTICK Bostick was a new man on the track team. Coach Coleman said that he was built for speed and he prmed it bv placing second in the 100 and thin! in the 220 at the Military which was a fast meet. As a member of the relay team. Bostick again showed his ability ns a s|M cdy track man. He was elected captain for 1920 by the 1919 letter men. PALI. NKBKRGAI.I. Ncber was our quarter-mile man and he could step out with the best of them. The quarter is a hard race but Xebcr showed us that he was equal to it. Neber got second place in this event at the Military Tract. Neber surprised us very much by getting first place in the javelin throw at the Military. He had never practiced for this at all. This throw set the record of 139 feet, t inches for the meet of 1920. He placed third in this event at the Neighlxirhood. He was also on the relay team. PERCY YARD Yard was a grxwl example of that old M. H. S. fighting spirit. Whenever he went into a foot hall or basket ball game or a track event, his one thought was “fight, fight,’ and tlx n “fight some more. This is the spirit that enabled him to place in the half mile at the Military and this place got him his last letter in High School. CHARLES GRF.EI.EY Another new man on the track team this year was Charles Greeley. He represented M. 11. S. in the distance runs. Chick will lx- a member of the 1920 track team and with his wonderful stride we are sure he will make a very goixl showing for Macomb H. S. and for himself. One Hundred One Macomb High School The Spider Web, 1920 CLARENCE BOLEX Bolen competed in tile 100 and tile 220 at the Neighborhood, and although he did not place in either event, he is to he commended for the spirit he showe d. He- will Ik with us again in 1020 and wc arc expecting great things from him. LAWRENCE GAMAGE Gamage only participated in one event and that was throwing the discus. He was unable to place in either mee t, but he had the spirit that makes a ge� od track te am and M. H. S. give s him credit fe� r this spirit. . HAVEN COLEMAN Coach Coleman was the be st all round athletic coach that Ma comb High School has ever had. His fe t hall team was never defeated. His basket hall team defeated only three times e� ut of twenty-four games pl.iye-d. and the se- thre-e defeats came from tin-same- team. He- developed one of the In-st track teams that ever had the honor of representing Macetmh High School. Althemgh lie- is not with us this year, we wish him good luck through all the- r� -st of his coaching career and life.

Outside of class basket ball, track is the only way the younger fellows have a chance at athletics. Ami by the looks of the bunch that was out.

Itlie Sophomore class of M. II. S. hail a Hallowe'en party in the form of a masquer ad-. I'pon arrival each class member received a program of the evening which contained as much jollity as could be crowded into the hours between 7:30 and 10. The program of the evening was as follows: 1. Guess who is who and write on paper. 2. Grand march. 3. Spelling match. 4. Contests. 5. Fortunes. 6. Entertainment by class members. The contests engaged in were eating peanuts, apples, and crackers and “rolling apples with one’s nose. Probably the contest of the evening was the cracker contest in which Miss McCollum. Mr. Motter. Mr. Koch, and Helen McGuire took part Miss MeCollum finishing her crackers and drinking her glass of water first. After this splendid program, the class mates and their guests sat down and. with young people's healthy appetites, enjoyed their lunch of ginger bread, pumpkin pic. cider, and apples. “Freshman Masquerade” There arc many different kinds of parties but it is a well known fact that nothing pleases the young Imvs and girls like a dressed-up party; so on Friday, Oct. 31. the Freshies had a masquerade party much originality being shown. There were the Gypsy, the Fortune Teller, the Fairy, and the Colonial girl among the girls, and the clown, the farmer, and the soldier among the boys. Masks were worn by everyone and it was great fun because it was One ltnn«lro«1 Six The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Society so very hard to pick out even their most intimate friends or chums Everybody was in grnnl spirits and joined in all the fun derived from the games played. A lunch consisting of cake and ice cream was greatly enjoyed by the young | eop!c. Of course “restrictions” on the younger classes arc necessary, but one can hardly blame the I'rcsliies” for wanting to prolong their enjoyment of the bright society when 5 o’clock came. Junior Masquerade Masquerading proved to Im- quite popular at M. H. S. at the Hallowe'en parties of lit 19. and the Junior class, when they entertained the foot ball hoys on Saturday. Nov. I. followed the example of the other classes who had given parties and came arrayed in such apparel as would be a delight to any eye. Altogether it was a happy group of young jK'oplc who gathered in the gym. There was very little discussion as to who was the l� est costumed as everybody pres cut agreed that, if a prixe had been awarded. Miss Horton, dressed as a “kid. would have undoubtedly received it. After the ordinary exchange of comment, games were played which were wink-inn. musical chair, and drop the handkerchief. The attraction of the evening, however, took place in the little northeast room off the gym. Before anybody could enter into this den. he had to give the password and muster up courage enough to endure the wailings and moanings of the ghosts and spirits. When at last in. be was rewarded by hearing his past, present and future delightfully told by Madame Houston, the noted fortune teller. It is rumored that a number of the masqueraders found themselves ujmuj the floor dancing for awhile quite accidental, of course. This did not continue long, however, as they noticed the refreshments being served and joined with the others in enjoying the typical Hallowe’en menu of pumpkin pie. eider, doughnuts. po) corn and candy. After the young | eople had finished their lunch, they departed and with such gaiety that anybody was fully able to tell from their manner if not from their expression of pleasure that tin- affair hod l� con a success. Seniors Entertain Foot Ball Teams When the Manual High School foot ball boys of Peoria came to Macomb to meet the Maeoinh High squad, both teams received invitations from the Senior class of M. H. S. to attend a party given in their honor. These invitations received delighted acceptances; so on Nov. 8th. the Seniors gave their first party. Their one hope and endeavor was to entertain their guests in such a way that they would not regret having accepted. With this end in view, the gym was gloriously transformed into a cabaret with One Hundred Seven .small tables over the room ami tl� « class colors of purple ami white delightfully stretched from the baskets and corners: then a program was planned. The evening’s entertainment opened by a mock cha| cl exercise featuring a pep meeting. Our team, coach and principal could not have been better represented than it was with F.ndly Johnson as Earl Murphy. Louise Waggoner as Fred Rainey, and Kathryn Blume as Bill Strickland. Esther O'Harra as Mr. Motter. and Ber nice Burnham as Mr. Wriglcy. By means of the take-off tin1 team was given an opportunity of hearing themselves as others hear them in chapel. After the pep meeting, the guests were entertained by the following program: A Baby Act Eleanor Morley and Minnie Switzer. Pierrot and Perriet Dance Lucille Early and Evelyn Bonham. Piano Solo—John Seim. Vocal Solo—George Kock. Song—H. S. Quartet. After the program was over, each person was given a number and bv finding the corresjHHiding number to his. he found his part ncr. When everybody was seated, the lights, with tin- exception of the candles on each table, were turned out and in the soft candlelight, while the guests were served a delightful lunch consisting of sandwiches, pickles, hot chocolate, wafers and candy, at which they could onlv taste and wonder, an oriental dance was given by Mary Kathryn Roark. Speeches were given by our principal. Mr. Wriglcy. and Mr. Moon. Peoria's coach. We felt very proud when Mr. Moon stated that we not only had the la st team which his squad had encountered during the season, but also that they were better treated in Macomb than any place they had been. The climax came when Mr. Wriglcy announced that wc could dance the remainder of the evening. Sophomore Kid Part ) On Saint Patrick's Day. the Sophomores entertained themselves by a kid party which was properly chaperoned by four of our faculty members! There were little girls with tabbed hair, some with curls, and still others with braids down their backs, tied with beautiful big bows.” all of whom were dressed in their Sunday best. The Ians, of course, wore their knee trousers and all looked very neat and clean with tin- exception of one or two whose torn clothing and ruffled hair disclosed the fight they had had on tin way. All the little people were polite and the chaperones took care that tin- boys did not become taisterous and thus be in danger of hurting the girls or injuring their dresses. There was such a spirit of fun in the popular games of drop tin- handkerchief and cat and mouse that even those who were at first backward and slv, were soon ready to join them. As all kidlets like its- cream and cake, these with stick candy One F.ijM The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Society Farewell to Misses Foster and McCollum It was not until March IK, that the .Junior and Seniors gave their second party and this they did together in the form of a fare well party for Miss McCollum, the former class advisor of the Senior class, and Miss Foster, both of whom left 11s to do government work in Washington. I). (’. It was an entire surprise to them ns they were told that they were coming to a teachers’ party and fully iM'lieved it until they entered the gvm and much to their surprise were greeted by the Juniors and Seniors. After a program of vocal solos and readings, that old game. “New York. was played during which every minute was enjoyed. Refreshments consisting of chocolate and white brick ice cream, drop cakes, and jumbo | eanuts were served. Banquet for Basket Ball Men In order that they might show their appreciation of the splendid record which the M. II. S. basket ball squad had made during the season, thirteen young ladies entertained our team at a banquet given at the Pace Hotel on March 28. As the boys entered the dining room, they drew a place card from a basket, with one of the hostess' names on it and escorted her to tin- table which was iM-autifully decorated with the High School colors of orange, grey and black, a basket of flowers and the two cups which we have won. The menu consisted of Baked Chicken Dressing Mashed Potatoes Peas in Patties Celery Hot Rolls Butter Fruit Salad Whipped Cream Wafers Chocolate and White Brick Ice Cream Cake After tin- dinner. Assistant Coach George Koch presided as toastmaster and the following toasts were given: The Game —Captain E. Murphy. The First Team —Coach Motter. The Second Team George Kock. The Value of School Athletics”—Prof. Lynch. F.ach of the girls gave a quotation for one member of the team and Miss Lucille Early gave the Appreciation, which was concluded by the entire group of girls giving together the yell. “What’s the matter with the team? After the toasts were over, the group of young |M ople went down to Miss Esther O'Harra's to dance. The guests included the eleven members of the first and second teams who had played at the various tournaments. Coach Motter. Coach Graham. Prof, and Mrs. Lynch, and Assistant Conch Koch.

Tke Junior-Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior banquet, given April 29th. at the t niver salist church, was the event of the school year. The delightfully decorated church showed that the planning for it had taken some time and thought as not a detail of the decoration could have been improved upon. To the back of each chair w as tied a balloon, then-being blue, pink, purple, and white balloons to represent the colors of each class present. Purple ami white streamers were artistically draped from the ceiling of the room to the tables ami from the cen- ter of the table to each plate.

The program was divided into two parts: a minstrel and a short play entitled. As Julius Sees Her.” in which Hay Murphy, a former student of M. II. S.. starred as Cleo. Some of the Im vs were so appreciative of Mr. Mur phy’s acting and singing that they presented to him a bouquet of onions, lettuce, lemons, nnd turnips.

Those eligible to become members of this club were Seniors and Juniors only. There was a meeting held the last of November to see if such a club could be organized. The result was such that another meeting was held in December, when the framing of the constitution was startl’d and plans made for the year. The tirst regular meeting was held December eleventh, when the constitution was adopted, officers were elected, ami an interesting program given. Those at this meeting who signed the constitution were made charter members. After this meeting, any who wished to belong to the club must enter thru competition. either by writing or telling a story. After wc had the club organized and running smoothly, we had sixteen charter members, all of whom arc doing interesting and helpful work in many ways. On Friday afternoon before Christmas, the club displayed its ability by giving to the students and faculty a very interesting program in the form of a Christmas playlet including stories. Louise Waggoner gave “When Santa Hid His Face.” Lucille Holies gave “The Necktie Girl.” Flossie Myers gave “Little Karl.” and Ruth Van Kttcn gave “Golden Cobwebs.” On February twenty-sixth, the members of the club entertained their mothers with their usual program, after which refreshments were served. This gave our mothers a chance to see and enjoy the good work which our club docs. The last meeting of the Maco Hi Story Club was held in May when the new members were admitted and entertained bv the old members. A party was planned and given in the Hi School gvm in their honor. A great many new memia-rs were admitted and greatly envied by those of the student hndv who were not among the lucky ones.

May 21. and at a IfSBiSan Saturday matinee. May 22. This play was given under the direction of Miss Grace Wandel, a professional coach from the John B. Rogers Producing Co., who make a special business of furnishing plays, coaches, and scenery to schools, literary clubs and other organixations. This play was the most successful play ever given by any class of Macomb High School. THKMK OF PLAY Transfixed before the Maharajah's private ban pie of Buddah. when the piece opens, is a notorious fakir of Hunga. by the name of Katcha-Koo. He can do incredible stunts like all East India fa kirs and Katcha-Koo's specialty is standing for weeks j crfcctly immovable without taking food. He always selects some inappropriate and objectionable spot so as to annoy and irritate his victim and the | cople generally. Now he has chosen tile Maharajah of Hunga as his present victim and has placed himself directly in front of the great Buddah image. Supplications and offerings of rich food or gems do not move him until he is ready to move. Natives only supplicate or present offerings for they are afraid to make threats, as they all dread the fakir’s curses. Even the powerful Maharajah himself dare not lay hands on Katcha Koo, though he has offered an immense reward to anyone who can move the fakir. It remains for two ingenious Americans to negotiate the job. From the widow of a wixard they secure a magical astral suit of clothes, the last of its kind. Each separate garment retains the characteristics of the original owner. The trousers, a Frenchman's, full of politeness and desire to dance; the shirt, a vagabond’s, making one care free and happy : the vest, an Italian's, full of love and arias; and the coat, an American's, full of life and go.” This magical composite garment they succeed in getting onto Katcha-Koo, whose career then licgins. His subsequent actions are dominated by the trousers of the Frenchman, the shirt of the vagabond, the vest of the Italian, and the coat of the American. Tin-many complications and situations that arise developing upon this episode from the fascinating and intensely interesting story of the play.

OlW lltinilrrd Twenty one Macomb High School The Spider Web, ipao Their Hardest Game By Florence Sipes WO weeks from to-day. fellows, wc play the hardest game of the season ’ said Conch Roland, in his deep voice that the boys loved so well. We’ll win that game, for we must; the honor of the team and sehool will depend upon it. Their brags, have you heard them? They say we can't even score against them, much less defeat them. We never have beaten them, but never have I felt so deter mint'd to win as since I heard those remarks. Sow. we II win or bust!’’ cried the excited coach. “We’ll win! “We’ll win!” We’ll show them who swallows defeat!” “We’ll see who can’t make a score!” These and many more remarks came in loud voices from over the entire room. “With that spirit, fellows, we surely will defeat them as they haven’t been defeated this year. Spread it thru the school, fellows! joined in the coach. The spirit spread, everywhere went the same spirit that the foot ball squad showed. Everywhere you went you could see and hear how the spirit was going. In the pep meetings the house shook with the yells that came from the five hundred throats. Everybody was sure of a big victory. Hut in the entire school one girl. Anna Holmes, better known as “Jack.” showed the most earnest spirit. Wherever she was. her spirit followed and they were counting on her as one of the leading girls at the game. She was a little girl with eyes that spoke joy. business, grief and pleasure all at the same time. Above those eyes was hea| ed a mass of golden-brown curls, dreadfully out of place, “done up. instead of hanging down her baek. “Jack,” her best known and liked name, she got from nobody knows where. It had belonged to her since childhood days. Do you wonder that she was the possessor of so much pep? For one reason. I suppose, her twin brother was captain of the team. .lack. dear, little, honest .lack. She was busy now; another week and that game was to be fought. Everywhere she was delivering her “|)cp in as large quantities as the |M-oplc would take. Every member of the team had been encouraged by her and were counting on winning the game w’itli her on the side lines. She was counting on being there, too. and seeing her class and schoolmates play; yelling and giving encouragement continually. Hut alas! their dreams were unreal and a terrible silence was over the entire school. Qm Hundred Twenty-two The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School I heir Hardest Game I’wo day In-fore the game. Jack's brother. Tack.” ns the fellows called him. came to school with a long face, saying sister was ill. Hut he little thought how serious her condition was. The next morning the entire school seemed as though its very life was gone. Nowhere, were the students laughing and joking as usual Jack Holmes was ill with a fever, she had a hurtling fever and nobody hut her immediate family were allowed to see her. She was under the care of a special nurse. Mv God, fellows! How can I lead this team to-morrow with sis so ill? I can't do it. boys; I’m afraid I can t. These words came from Tack's” lips that night at practice. He was not alone in that feeling. Every fellow on the team fi lt as he did. also every member of the school and faculty were of the same feeling. A week ago and they little thought that their school could produce such spirit as this, after the most terrible defeat. much less than before the largest game of the year. The coach said. Think it over until nine o'clock in the morning, fellows, and then let me know the result. The day dawned clear and was an ideal day for an ideal game, hut where was the ideal spirit that generally went with the rest. About 7:80 Jack awoke; she realized it was the fatal day, hut that was about all. Her eyes had lost their joy and pleasure and looked dull and idle. Her pale cheeks looked like death; hut yet she realised that the game was to he played. She asked for Tack”: he came, hut where was the captain's victorious smile. In little over half an hour lie came from the sick room, went to the telephone and called up the coach. Hello. Mr. Kolnnd, he called. This is Holmes. Tell the fellows we ll play and that we'll he victorious. Tell them to meet at the ground at 12:80 as I have something to say to them. That’s all. He hung up the receiver with a hang and began pacing the room, restlessly. He ate very little dinner and promptly at 12:30 he walked up to the foot hall squad, where it had met on the Held. The fellows gazed in wonder. What had lmp| ened to their captain? A look of determination shone in his eyes and showed in his face. Fellows. he said, we've got to win this game. It isn’t my wish that I m here this p. in., nor the wish of any. I believe, but. he said in words hardly above a whisper. It is the wish of my dying sister. Indeed, she commanded me to command you fellows to win this game, if we ever wanted her to lie one of us again. We’ll win. fellows, won't we? He sat down, looked them over and smiled. We'll win or die in the attempt. cried the hoys. Never was there a bigger crowd than there was at that game. Never did the fellows Hght harder; for each and all of them saw the face of a dying girl that was commanding them to fight. The enemies were astonished at their playing and could hardly realise what One I Inn.I red Twenty-three Macomb High School The Spicier Web, 1920 Their Hardest Game was wrong. At last the game was over, ami the score was twenty to nothing in favor of ‘‘Tack's” team. Then did the opjioncnts hear the story. They were sorry they had fought so hard and said if they knew that to begin on. the score would have been larger still. All afternoon “Jack fought lo r battle while the boys fought theirs. When the doctor came that evening he said that Jack” would get well if given the proper care and not excited too much “Tack” told her the results and she faintly smiled her pleasure. Four weeks passed and “Jack came to school one morning, little more than a shadow. Still, the minute she stepped inside the door the spirit that left five weeks before returned and again there was laughter and jokes. They called a s|K eial cha) cl and celebrated tin- big victory they had won four weeks before. They had waited until the spirit returned before they were ready to celebrate. After that. Miss Holmes was nearly as well known by her new name, “Spirit, as by her old “Jack. She and the foot ball squad had won their hardest games.
