KINNEY To Mr. Kinney the Class of 1927 owes a debt of gratitude for his pa- tient and untiring zeal in leading us from green, faltering Freshies to a successful finish as dignified Seniors. The best interests of the High School have been his interests and the wel- fare of the pupils his concern. We can make no better wish for our High School's future than that it will continue to improve as it has under the edicient direction of Mr. Kinney. ,H , .1193 SUPERINTENDENT R. C. SMITH Four years ago Mr. Smith came to us at a time when our school system needed a man of ability and tact. In every Way Superintendent Smith has proved himself the type of man needed, having brought about a most noticeable understanding and co-operation among all concerned. We appreciate the interest and efforts of Mr. Smith in our behalf and hope he may con- tinue at the head of our schools.

Of course it was a bit timid at first, but this was soon overcome, and it began to win the approval of its instructors, to gain credits, to take part in various activities. and to stop now and then to take part in some jollity, till now, the Senior Class of '27 is one of the most noted and successful classes that has ever been graduated from Macomb High. Not a few have become famous in one art or another. Quite a number of husky young athletes have distinguished themselves as stellar players on the football field and have also held up our good record in basketball. And, now turning our attention to Art. Who has not enjoyed looking at the clever and interesting sketches drawn by Nellie Woll? Dorothy Senn is also quite gifted along this line. Then, considering music. Dorothy Holden is one of our most promis- ing young musicians. One of our best vocalists is Maxine Dill. Of course we must not forget literature, because we have poets, ora- tors, and debatersg for instance Franklin Woll, Max Thompson, and Eliza- beth Butcher. Lastly, We must consider the art of scholarship. No one represents this better than Wilbur Boyle and Max Thompson. This history would be incomplete if the advisors of our class were not mentioned, so it must be said here that a great part of our success has been due to the wise and willing direction of Miss Grace Schertz and Miss Doro- thy Cox. So you see, the Senior Class as a whole is one of which We can well be proud. -GLADYS VAN METER. Senior Highlights Wilbur Boyle - ----- - Optime! Max Thompson - - Excelsior!

It was a great success in every way. The people were particularly well suited to the various roles. There are several high-lights in the class. Vernon Broadhead and Lewis Pennington are two promising basketball players. John Keys and Francis Wells are well known for their ability as cheer-leaders. This class is going to be an excellent Senior Class next year. The class is booming strong and is boosting itself to be the greatest class in M. H. S. However, there seems to be some other ideas about that matter. The Fresh- ies think they are the only people in the whole world of the High School: the Sophs walk around with their heads so high that we are afraid they will break their necksg the dignified Seniors swish serenely by, and everybody runs but the J uniors-the Juniors! You always hear about the Jolly Juniors. This takes on a new meaning in M. H. S. hallsg if you visit Macomb High School you will won- der if there is a fire in town or if there is a circus parade of if Mr. Kinney has lost his moustache,-oh, no-it's only the fifty-odd Juniors making work for Mr. Massey. We hear some wild talk about Class Day,-beware, Hobos, and keep out of sight. There certain vague rumorings passing about the halls and I be- lieve J. W. B.'s High School Bulletin Board must know something about itg since it cannot speak we must wait developments. The big moguls of the June Bugs are on the warpath and certain Seniors better look out for bombs bursting in the air. It seems that the Seniors are looking forward to the time when a cer- tain annual banquet is going to be spread and an evening of good-fellowship with us Juniors will be enjoyed. Well, Seniors, all that I can say is that we are also looking forward to it, and you can imagine what that means,- especially since Mr. Decker is at the head of the affair!

Who is a better radio an- nouncer than Don Metzger? His greatest ambition is either to go on the stage or to be announcer for WOC in the future. Garnet Spicer is a very accomplished violinist, and Millicent Nelson is queen of the ivories in her class. Winifred Hanan represents the aesthetic ability as a most delightful ballet dancer. Others could be mentioned for their talent. Altogether, it is a very fine class. You know, it seems as if the Sophomore people are left out of the talk when outsiders speak of school life. Nevertheless, since I am not an out- sider, the Sophs are going to break into the news circle. I suppose it is be- cause most people think that the Sophs are a transition class,-one just get- ting over its Freshie greenness and one that has not yet reached the heights of brain-power required to be talked about-but I maintain that the Sophs are as jolly, jocund and as jovial as the Juniors, and as intelligent, superior, and as dignified at times as the Seniors. To get back to my story, the Sophomore class is the most promising c'ass in M. H. S., barring none,-even the teachers talk about us. Take Chick Boyle nowg everybody talks about how he shows his brother Bill up in his studies. We do not want to seem insolent to you poor inferior classes, so please do not take offense at our wise truths. The Sophs of today are the Seniors of day-after-tomorrow, and believe me it is going to be some class -then we'll show you people of 1927 how we shine.

I just breezed in from the Southland, commonly known as the Junior High School by the people of Macomb. Everybody used to think the Freshmen were green, and I hear that some few insolent Sophs think so now.-but you must excuse them. Nevertheless the Fresh- men of '27 and the Seniors of '30 are about the brightest class of people in M. H. S., and before I am through with this discourse you will think so too. Superior Soph, do you remember way back when you were a teeny, scared Freshie, green as grass, and how you were so scared you could have dropped through an ant-hole when a Senior spoke to you sharply. or when you were called into Mr. Kinney's office for the first time? 'Well, that is the way the Freshmen of 1927 DON'T feel! I know from their own lips that the Seniors and Juniors of yesterday and today have felt that same experience, but the Seniors of tomorrow don't get that way. I am a characteristic Freshman and I don't mind telling you so. The Freshie of '27 has brilliancy, charm, attractiveness, sympathy, and straight- forwardnessg I am the embodiment of all these characteristics and others also, but just the same the Freshies tincluding mel are not egotistic. Some Seniors say that we do not have experience,--well, we have had as much experience in one year as the average Senior has had in four years. From scholarship and forensics to athletics and basketball the Freshies are Ego prem1er.', Several months ago there was a story in a Well-known popular maga- zine called The Life of the Party. The Freshman class is the Life of the Party of Macomb High School. The Freshies are the ones who make a high school full of fun and jollity,-even instead of the Juniors! Just con- sider for a moment if you please, how many of the members of the clubs are Sophomoresg this shows that the F. C. are interested in drama. The tryout for Declamation and Oratory was a popular contest made up of many Freshmen. I could go on and name dozens of other activities in which F. C.'s are the mainstay, but there isn't space on this page.

Julian, the son of the aristocratic Castlebury family, falls in love with Winsora Tweedle. She is the daughter of a man of one of the oldest families in Maine who esteem their name because it is over two hundred years old. Both parties are very much opposed to such a match and agree to cooperate in preventing it. The Tweedles look down on the summer people and the Castleburys look down on the Tweedles, and do not approve of the antiquity shop owners. Julian unearths many skeletons for both families so matters seemed to be at a standstill when Winsora took things into her own hands and defied both parties.

SYNOPSIS MacFarland, a rich young New York idler, wages with his friend, Thornton Brown, and the detective, Arthur Sole, that he can escape any police officer of any sort for the space of one year without leaving the United States. The bet was precipitated after MacFarland's New York apartments had been robbed and the police could get no trace of the burg- lars. MacFarland is next seen in an old hunting cabin in Colorado and is found there by the Sheriff's daughter, who is staying there all night. By a stroke of ill luck, MacFarland uses his favorite by-word, Believe me, Xantippef' The girl covers him v ith her gun and forces him to help her capture a criminal who is a bad hombre. Then, after many amusing situations created by the jailer, who is suspicious of the newcomer at the jail, MacFarland receives word that the two only people who know that his crime was just a. fake are dead. Dolly, the Sheriff's aughter, is made a deputy by Kamman and intends to get the reward for him. Then the New York oflicers come but turn out to be Sole and Brown. The two men ask for the stakes but Dolly informs them that she was not a deputy when she caught him! MacFarland wins the bet and also Dolly. nga ,Aim-9.1.

Besides much experi- mental work with radio the club has played several games of basket ball with other clubs and classes. The officers are: President, Mr. Jack, Sec- retary, Wilbert Kuglerg Treasurer, Francis Thomasg the Executive Com- mittee is composed of Waine Hainline, Rolland Wilcox, and Glen Herndon. The club is making some articles for Mrs. Randolph at the present time, and should be highly commended for its enthusiastic and willing aid it is presenting. The A. R. E. is now planning its third annual summer trip. Last sum- mer the club went to Canada, where it received the privilege of speaking over the air from station -T Canada. This year the Radio Club is en- thusiastic for new members. Any one is eligible who has a receiving set, and who can pass a reasonable test on radio semblage and engineering. We believe that the A. R. E. is going to become one of the strongest of M. H. S. organizations. BOYS' CHORUS Last September Miss Spicer asked all boys who could sing or who thought they could sing, or who wanted to learn to sing, Cin other words- all boysj to report to her in the music room. The following boys form the Boys' Chorus: First tenor, Rolland Wilcox and Wilbert Kuglerg second tenor, Max Thompson, Don Metzger and Edwin Kenner, first bass, Howard McCalleyg second bass. Glen Herndon. The group has been practicing ever since last fall and has developed into a good singing organization. The Boys' Chorus sang with the Glee Club before the Study Hall last winterg the star part of the program was a duet, Good King Wenceslas, sung by Rolland Wilcox and Howard McCalley. From the entire organization a quartet composed of: First tenor, Rol- land Wilcox, second tenor, Max Thompson, first bass, Howard McCalleyg second bass, Glen Herndon, was chosen. This quartet sang at the Teachers' Institute held at Macomb High School on Saturday, March 5, 1927. ,.-. .-..,,-nri'J Page F my-Five ii--. +-lf9l I7'2'5 THE 1927 SPIDER WEB will gaps- GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Glee Club was organized again this year by Miss Spicer.

The oflicers are : President ---- - - Alyce Thomas Secretary and Treasurer ------- Nellie Woll Librarian ---- ----- G lenrose Van Meter Accompanists ---- Martha Linstedt and Gladys Van Meter The clubs gave several fine programs and stunts this year besides an operetta, Princess Chrysanthemum.

Well, if you ask me it took a veryest great deal of persuasion to get the boys to take the boys' parts. Nevertheless, the operetta went off fine, even if the boys were in it.

VAGABONDS The officers of this organization are: President. ------- - - Keith Scott Vice-President --------- Howard McCal.ey Secy. and Treas. ---------- Maxine Dill The Vagabonds, a dramatic club, was founded in 1925 by Miss Helen Wills. Miss Wills was a woman of great dramatic ability and she gave the club a fine start. Miss Pansye Hawkins is our present sponsor. The club is exclusive, only thirty members being allowed. These mem- bers gain admittance by pro ving their ability in drama. The club this year followed out the precedent set by the club of 1925 in that they gave a num- ber of one-act plays before the assembly. The club meets every other Tuesday evening at the High School. The time spent at the meeting is taken up by reviews of modern plays, biog a- phies of modern playwrights, readings by members and dramatizations by different members of the c ub. In this way a knowledge of what is going on in the dramatic world and of the different types of drama is obtained. The Vagabonds won first prize in the Hallowe'en parade this year. We feel sure that the Vagabonds are going to grow and go and we're to make it so. me----lm Page Fifty-Eight -FIQL- THE 1927 SPIDER WEB , STUNTS FRENCH CLUB STUNT Le Cercle Francais presented a program of French songs, dances, and several piano solos.

Besides the entire group's singing, the B. C. Quartet consisting of Roliand Wilcox, Max Thompson, Howard McCalley, and Glen Herndon sang some specialties. W. A. A. STUNT The W. A. A. girls entertained the student body with a stunt, the theme of which was taken several years hence. Elizabeth Butcher was acling as hostess to a visitor, and as they talked their conversation drifted back to their happy school.days in old M. H. S. They asked about each of the teachers and finally the hostess opened her album to each teacher separ- ately. As she opened each page one of the W. A. A. girls posed as the teacher and some of the characterizations were strikingly well done. It was a very cleverly arranged stunt. SOPHOMORE STUNT The Sophomore Stunt was a celebration at Hickville and the Hick- ville Band was one of the main attractions. They played several numbers and Winifred Hanan danced. Donald Metzger was the business man home from the city in whose honor the event was held. FRESHMAN STUNT The Freshman Stunt was a little three-act play written by Dorothy Holmes. The first act took place on Christmas Eve when a little girl, wait- ing up for Santa, fell asleep. Santa entered and placed the toys. In the second act the girl talked to the toys in her sleep and each had to entertain her in some way. In the third act she awoke to find that Santa had been there while she was asleep. VAGABOND STUNT The Vagabonds chose a one-act play entitled the Will o' the Wispf' It was a very successfu ly given play. showing the talent of the Vagabond members. Some of us haven't yet rid ourselves of the shivers. A. R. E. CLUB STUNT The stunt given by the Radio Club was a big success. It showed the interior of a radio broadcasting station and the members of the Club were broadcasting a program from station WARE. The quartet numbers, mu- sical numbers, and jokes were all of the A-1 type. This was one of the best programs given this year. FACULTY STUNT The Faculty gave a play entitled, The Belle of Barcelona. The first scene was at a garden cabaret at eleven o'clock. There were many gues's, among them the Belle of Barcelona fMiss Hillj, her suitor C Mr. Foxy and the Rival fMr. Kinneyl. The Rival was flirting with the Belle, and the Suitor called a duel. The second scene was two hours later near the home of the Barcelona Belle. The duel was fought and the Suitor wounded the Rival. The Suitor then played and sang a Serenade beneath the balcony of his sweetheart. During the cabaret scene dancers entertained the guests. ffl Page Sixty 039 -V -. .. aff: THE 1927 SPIDER WEB PARTIES THE FRESHMAN PARTY A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Freshman Valentine party which was held in the gymnasium of Macomb High School. The party was held on Friday evening, February 11. After a most enjoyable evening of games and fun the merrymaking Freshies ran races to the refreshment stand and were served a delicious lunch of sandwiches, lollipops, and heart- shaped cookies. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY On account of the severely cold weather not every member of the class was present at the annual Soph Class party. The party was held in the M. H. S. gymnasium. The games played were under the directoin of Eva Reed, with the assistance of Miss Lorenz. Several of the teachers were there, including Misses Martha and Eleanor Dorsett, Miss Kabbes, Miss Hawkins, Miss Lorenz and Miss Spicer. After several games were played, refreshments of peanuts, lollipops and chocolate bars were served. Afterward, Millicent Nelson played the piano while several couples danced. GIRLS' BASKETBALL PARTY The girls playing basketball held a party April 22 in the mecca of high school merrymakers, the M. H. S. gymnasium. A good time was en- joyed by all, after which refreshments of sandwiches, pickles, fruit salad and cake were served. The group adjourned promptly at nine o'clock. THE w. A. A. PARTY The W. A. A. party was held in November, for the purpose of getting more girls interested in this club. It was held in the gym and was a hard time party. The menu was: Sandwiches, Bean Salad, Pickles, Potato Salad, Fruit Salad, Cake. The entertainment for the evening consisted of dancing and playing various games. THE FRENCH CLUB PARTY Le Cercle Francais had a costume dance on the night of St. Valen- tine's Day in the High School gym. Each of the members of the organiza- tion was entitled to bring a guest. Decorations were carried out in the Valentine spirit. The guests danced to Victrola music until ten-thirty when refreshments were served. Refreshments, too, were in the Valentine spirit, and consisted of heart- shaped sandwiches, pink heart-shaped cookies, hot chocolate, and ice cream with pink heart centers. The party was a great success and the guests adjourned at eleven o'clock with a most favorable impression of Le Cercle Francais.

V TLS 'rug -1.15 E A L- .41 ' Lglirelailirlggillege, MIRRORS f Madame Lebreton was standing before a full-length mirror which hung on the wall in her modest little apartment in Paris. She was not studying the effect a new gown had upon her beauty but she was looking at the expression on her face. She was a slight, fair-haired little woman with eyes of deep blue color. Now these eyes reflected bitterness and sor- row. Monsieur Lebreton had gone away and had said that he would never come back. What was the trouble? Ah! Yes, it was another woman, one more lovely than she, that had enchanted her black-eyed lover of a husband. A light gleamed in her eyes and it was the sign of an independent woman who could rise to an emergency. She could leave, too, perhaps, and take the three-year-old daughter along. But where? Not in this country where everyone was poor and life had lost its glitter! Could she do it? Ah, she and the petite Jeanne would go to the land whence came the soldiers of courage and makers of fun, the America. Thus did the little woman beckon to the joys of life again, dismissing her jealousy and anger but not leaving it forever. No, not with the child about, who con- stantly reminded her of its father. Madame's plan worked for there was some money left to her and she and the child, with the dark romantic eyes, came to Chicago. There they found that a rich country speedily demands money of its people and as the child grew Madame moved to poorer apartments until, at last, she found herself in a few rooms in a tenement. She hated life then and her thoughts constantly turned to the father of the girl, Jeanne. Those were morbid thoughts and they explain why Madame suddenly snatched a mirror from her small daughter's hands because in it she saw the proudly gleam- ing eyes so like those of the husband and father. The mirror fell to the floor and some of the pieces of glass Hew into the eyes of Jeanne. The mother, already overcome by various emotions, staggered towards the child, hardly able to realize the horror of the deed. Now, perhaps, those eyes would never see again, would never sparkle like a hundred golden moonbeams! XV-.. W JFS Page Stxty-Three +.,,. fwimf ----7--f-A THE 1927 SPIDER WEB mei, vw,., .. Many attempts were made to save the eyes of little Jeanne but the doctors always said that it could not be done. It was well for Madame that there was no mirror in which she could view a face where the lines caused by extreme and constant sorrow had erased those of joy and glad- ness. She never expected to see a happy hour in her life again. But Jeanne was not unhappy. She was too small at the time of the misfortune to remember its pain and she soon learned to see through her other senses. It was easier because her mother, who had never wanted to play with her, now tried in every possible way to play with her and make her happy. One day as they were taking a walk in the park her mother met a young Frenchman named Francois whom she had happened to know in France. He was struck with Jeanne's beauty and because she was blind saw her strength of character more clearly. After this he often came to the house to talk of the old country and the new and of the prob- lems of both. Madame was an intelligent woman when not swayed by her emotions and Jeanne was eager to hear of all the things she could not see. The visits continued for several years and a firm friendship was established between these French people. It was Madame's birthday and Jeanne and Francois had gone to hunt for a present to delight her. At last after much discussion, they decided upon one which had to be fixed in the parlor while Madame was absent from the house. They hurried home and together hung on the wall a beautiful mirror. 'ihen for the surprise! After dinner they led her to the parlor and showed it to her. They did not see in it the things she saw and could not comprehend the courage of her-when she thanked them graciously and seated herself in a chair, before it. A mirror, a thing which had shown her her husband's pride and then her daughter's and whose associations had so embittered her that she had given away to passion and had a harvest of pain. Then, as she again looked up she saw Francois look at Jeanne and saw a gleam of love-light in his eyes. After all of these years she realized that a mirror could yet reflect the happiness of others, and that even if her own Visage and life was care-worn, she could rejoice in the new joys of her daughter. -ELIZABETH C.

Realizing that the dividing of the property may be the cause of much argument amongst the individuals surviving us in lower grades, we take it upon ourselves, in these, our last days, to list our much coveted posses- sions and the desired heirs thereto. Thus follow our desires: To Dean Bruner we have decided to award Franklin Woll's remark- able ability at salesmanship.

We hereby bequeath James Gumbart's voice to Chuck McKee. This gift, in addition to Chuck's natural ability, should aid him greatly in mak- ing speeches in the Assembly. We name John Keys as the just heir to all surplus heigh tborne by the feet of Leslie Tipton. We hereby make known our wish that Wilbur Boyle's unusual powers of study be sold at auc.ion, the proceeds to be turned over entirely to Paul Bourell. ' To Garnet Spicer we leave some of that which makes Maxine Dill's hair lie down so smoothly. We have decided to bequeath Erma Hendrix's crowning glory to Katherine Knappenberger.

This poem is punk but I'll be done soon- Please pay for your Annual by Friday noon! -WILLIAM FOSTER. THE FRESHMEN We are the youngest class in the High School but I do not think that is any reason to call us Freshmen. We realize the name has come down from many who had traveled before us, and perhaps in the beginning there was a reason for it. However, the present class is resourceful and Mustainlsb a high standard. It includes Parks, both Pendell and the National Estes. We are always Wright for we have a Soloman. Maybe to rush in our Knapps and use Spring and Gillenwater with plenty of Spicefrl for pep. We don't need to tire ourselves out walking and running around town. It is much nicer to go Ridingfsj in our CBurJford. Our class contains several figures such as Adams and Jacksons. Livingston went for a Kruse to Slinger-land and brought home a wonderful Gift, a Campbell, a Griffin and a Lyon. He had trouble Holden 'em, for they tore his clothes terribly, but he saw an Ohnsman and sent him after a Dudman and he furnished him with a long Woolanfml veil. Our class could use Graftlonl but we will always pay our bills as long as we have Cash and when we do not we will have Mikesell a Bond. We do not need to go hungry in our Holmes for the Miller, Butcher and Chestnutts are always ready to serve usg we also have a little Wyne. If it were possible to include all the unmentioned members and their accomplishments, I'm sure the Freshies would register favorably with the other classes in the High School. -MAXINE PETERSON. mga i.+Y Page Sixty-Six THE 1927 SPIDER WEB Purple asters in a jade green vase, And a dark-eyed maiden in cream-colored lace: A northern star alone in the sky, And I, alone, with a long drawn' sigh Whisper, Alone! g but with my memories aglow, And how I missed her, no one shall know.

SOLILOQUY On my battle-scarred countenance can be read the history of every important event in this world of the High School. I am a maker of history, a breaker of spirits, an angel in disguise. I can crush the proud wills of students at a single glance, I can raise others to the seventh heaven of delight. Upon my frank and open face the effect of current happenings is easily noticeable. Yes, I lead a happy life from the opening of school until the closing of school, but in the night-ah !-in the night, remembrance of pastdays tortures me. Often in the inky blackness of night, when the long cor- ridor in which I spend my time is deserted and silent, and the only noise in the whole little world about me is the faint, ghostly chug-chug of a far away broom, as the janitor crashes it against chairs and desks, a sudden vision will unfold before my eyes. Before me in the hall will appear the laughing faces of former students who once trod these floors and stared rudely at me. I see athletes, actors, scholars, friends, rivals, and teachers, once acquaintances of mine, but now vanished. And my sleep is troubled by such dreams and visions, but in the morning comes relief. At eight o'clock they begin to arrive-freshmen, sophomores, jun- iors, seniors, faculty members, and as they pass me they stare impolitely at me. Sometimes a student comes to me, and reading the sign of disaster in my frank gaze turns silently away-he has failed. At other times I seem to bring good luck, for my friend goes joyfully away down the hall. Just as in my dream they come before me, laughing, sulking, or hurrying, only this time they are a reality, not a mere vision of bygone days. How- ever, their-character and influence will live on forever. I am a controller of destinies, a master of fates, a friend in disguise: I am the High School Bulletin Board. -WILBUR BOYLE. Page Sixty-Seven THE 1927 SPIDER WEB M. H. S. FOR ME Oh, it's great to see the football games and travel up and down Among the famous colleges and high schools of renown, To see the fumbling enemies and fighting of the boys, And I'm sure we'll ne'er forget all of these high school joys. So its back again, and back again-M. H. S. for ine, My thoughts are turning back again and there I long to be- In the school of peppy students where worry seems to lack, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is Orange and Black. I know our football's wonderful, our cheering never slack, We yell till our lungs fairly throb, for our Orange, Gray and Black- The backing of the students surely helps the team to win: To miss a Macomb High football game, would surely be a sin! - MID. AND JENNE. THE DAILY RACKET William Foster has just secured for us the personal account of Mr. Ralph T. Decker's round the world trip. We are herein printing certain parts of it which we believe will be of special interest to M. H. S. students. Mr. Decker, you know, was an instructor in M. H. S. at the time then he perfected his famous Gasless Ford which made him wealthy. OCTOBER 4, 1937.-On arriving at Chicago, Mrs. Decker and I went directly to the Edgewater Beach Hotel. As soon as we entered the door our baggage was taken by an exceedingly small boy who was none other than Otho Lester, an old chemistry shark of mine. He informed me that the Bears were playing the Wildcats tomorrow, and that my old friend, Fatty Greeley, was the star fullback for the Bears. It has been ten years since I saw Fatty play so we decided to go to the game. OCTOBER 5, 1937.-Going into a restaurant on State Street we or- dered our dinner. After waiting about twenty minutes I became angry and went out into the kitchen. There I found Don Terrill cooking. This accounted for our long wait. Nevertheless I was very glad to see Don again. OCTOBER 12, 1937.-After arriving in New York I reserved a state- room on the liner Olympic which sails for England in a week. We de- i.W-A,.Ew.la Page Sixty-Eight Gm .. ..,,uK'J THE 1927 SPIDER WEB fn.. . f cided to take in a show tonight. We 'will see Green Envy, starring Lloyd Frowein and Hildreth Lovell. This picture was directed by Truston Stew- art who is one of the greatest directors since the DeMille brothers. OCTOBER 23, 1937.-I find that this life on the sea is a lot of bunk. l hadn't eaten for two days until this morning but my meal didn't stay with me long. I became very angry and went to see the captain to tell him of my troubles. On the way up to his cabin I met Francis Thomas who told me a lemon was the thing to take. I forgot what a practical joker Francis was in High School and followed his advice-to my regret. OCTOBER 30, 1937.-Arrived in England today and on the way to London I met Maurice Cole who has some cattle entered in the international stock show at that city. Maurice is one of the largest cattle raisers in the United States. At last we arrived in London and as I passed the cab of the locomotive I thought the engineer looked familiar. On looking again 1 recognized Walter Carlson. NOVEMBER 7, 1937.-We left for France this morning and on the way over we noticed a number of women swimming the English Channel. On account of cold weather they had to wear fur coats and caps. As they fiashed by I recognized Elizabeth Rogers. NOVEMBER 10, 1937.-While taking a stroll in Paris today, whom should I meet but Elizabeth Tregallas and Alyce Thomas, who, unable to master the French language in High School, had come to France and were instructors in English. They said that Wilbur Boyle, the greatest divorce lawyer in Paris, had his office only a short distance away. I didn't stay long as he tried to talk me into getting a divorce. NOVEMBER 23, 1937.-After spending a most enjoyable stay in Paris, Mrs. Decker and I departed via air route for Moscow, and it was with fear and trembling that we got into the plane when we discovered that the pilot was none other than James Whalin. After being in the air a few hours our fear vanished, however. FEBRUARY 16, 1938.-It has been almost four months since I have seen any of my old High School students and you can imagine my joy when, as I was walking down one of the quaint streets for which Bombay is noted, whom should I see but Gladys Van Meter. Gladys told me that she was teaching music in a private school in Calcutta. APRIL 14, 1938.-This is our third day in Japan, which is beyond all doubt one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Mrs. Decker and I wished to ride in a jinrikisha fthe Japanese Fordb, so this afternoon I went to the stand and hired one for the day. The boy, whose face looked familiar, proved to be none other than James Sutherland. James told me he was in training for long distance running. James, you know, last year broke the mile record set by Nurmi in 1925. - JULY 5, 1938.-We had a grand and glorious Fourth, the first either of us had ever spent on board a ship. A very singular incident happened to me today. As I was walking along the upper deck I absent-mindedly stumbled over the legs of a young man sitting in a steamer chair. This fellow was deeply engrossed in a book and apparently did not know what 1239 IFJ Page Sixty-Nine . +T -,-E,..u1au . ,. THE 1927 SPIDER WEB . had happened. I apologized for my ill-mannerliness. It was only after I had spoken that the reader looked up, it was Howard McCalley, one of my former pupils. I was surely glad to see him and we had a nice talk. He told me to come with him to the lower deck, where he introduced me to Mrs. McCalley. Mrs. McCalley was formerly Miss Maxine Bly. FROM GOOD TO BETTER Miss Harrison was riding down Maple Street in the city of Bloom- ington. The car she drove was a beautiful Buick. Her mind, however, was far away. She was day-dreaming of the time when she would take a trip to the Bermuda Islands. Just now she was wondering what lady friend she would take to the Bermudas. Suddenly her mind was brought to earth with a crash, it certainly was a crash, too, for the next thing she knew was that she was lying in a. hospital bed! She saw two nurses and a very good-looking young man with dark brown, wavy hair and brown eyes and in a strictly black suit: since he was wearing a long white apron over his suit, and rubber gloves she presumed him to be a doctor Cand correctlyl. The young man came over and smilingly told her that she had crashed into a huge moving van, but not to worry, because she was not injured much. It soon developed, however, that, as Elizabeth Cthis was her namej was rather delicate, the shock she had received was sufficient to make her stay several weeks. As the days went by Elizabeth found herself think- ing more and more of the handsome young doctor who had somehow made her feel a warmness in her heart toward him. Three weeks had gone by and Elizabeth was now taking rides out into the country with Doctor Rut- ledge, stopping on the tops of the surrounding hills. As the twilight would draw on they would sit side by side and talk of the hospital and its Work- how that Mrs. Duncan in room 234 was recovering from her operation, or how Mr. Green in the invalid's ward was making it. But one evening the car failed to start-CElizabeth now thinks it wou1dn't start on purposej, and the two, arm in arm now, walked out to their favorite hillside. When they arrived there he pulled her down on the grassy bank beside him. It was June and the air was full of the glo- rious fragrance of roses and the tender odor of violets CElizabeth's fa- vorite flowerl. Elizabeth opened the conversation with: Are you tired tonight, Allen? No, Elizabeth, he said, and then turning and looking into her face he said, Dearest, let's not talk of the hospital tonight. Thus speaking FJ Page Serenty .C-'um WFS THE 1927 SPIDER WEB 4.-+ , he drew her into his arms tenderly and kissed her. He pulled her closer and she barely breathed: Now I know who will go with me to the Bermudas! -NEVA GUTHRIE. LISETTE Lost in the whirlpool of shoppers, not knowing whither to go, I stopped. I was in the melting pot of Europe-Paris. Yes, Paris, from whose broil many never escaped, and how should I know that I Would? The air was chilled, dirty ragged children and women carrying cry- ing babes passed in and out among the deformed soldiers listlessly selling popular yarn-made dolls-Lisettesg but few were heeded. One of these attracted my attention, so young yet, but without the use of a leg. Out of mere pity and to gain knowledge of headquarters I approached him and bought a Lisette. When I questioned him about the distance to the Marshall's office, he seemed overjoyed and even drew a diagram so I would not miss it. I hooked my Lisette about the button on my coat, stuffed my hands in my pockets and went whistling on my quest. But soon it grew beautiful-so beautiful that I dropped on an old iron bench and gazed at the green, red, and many colored lights bursting forth in the evening. Lovers were saying good-bye-and maybe forever. Then I grew lonely-so lonely that tears Welled in my eyes. I was alone, en- listed among a race whose language I could not even interpret. All I had was the little doll on my coat button and queer as it may seem, I talked to it and petted it as tenderly as a child. I made no effort to conceal my act when I looked, even when I gazed into the eyes of the lad who had sold it to me. You blue, Buddy? he asked in a voice which startled me and assured me I had found a friend. Buddy, he had called me, buddy! God, that sounded good-the first warm word I'd heard. I grasped his arm and shook it fervently. God I I exclaimed, it'd been hell if I hadn't met you. Giving him the support of my broad shoulders we moved on with a common under- standing. Where we were going or how far we went I never knewg I was too thrilled. Thrilled with the bright lights, thrilled with the tranquil evening-but mostly thrilled with my new-found friend. All I could get into my crazed mind was He called me Buddy! Then my burden grew heavier and he began to slump, and hazily I realized my Buddy was breathing heavily. Confound my heart, he said. Let's stop a minute. So we stum- bled to a nearby bench and I could feel his slim body tremble. Then it Page Seventy-One iii. ,-,,, i, - ., . THE 1927 SPIDER WEB GN, dawned upon me to ask him where he lived or was going, and I was a little surprised when he said he was going home to God. Oh, no 1 I said, like a mother giving up her only child, then: Don't leave me alone with Lisette! and I pointed to the little French doll. Bon Deus! That's all I've had for months with me, came from the dying man's lips and from a finger-worn envelope he produced a lock of hair and a picture of a woman. That's my Lisette, he said, and with a look of peace he went on his journey, yet in my arms. He had died in my arms and I hadn't even known his name. Some- one came then and took him away and it hurt-it hurt as badly as if it had been my brother and when I put the envelope which he had had in his pocket there were teardrops mingled with the faded strands of hair and I wondered for what reascin fate had brought this strange incident into my life. -VIOLET MINNER. THE GROCER'S CLERK The grocer's clerk is a fat handsome looking boy about fourteen years old. He enjoys cutting meat or doing something that he is not able to do. He hates sacking potatoes, filling the shelves or weighing sugar. He gets a kick out of filling the candy case or sampling cookies or other articles that traveling salesmen offer him. He thinks it is quite an honor to be judge between two different brands of canned goods. When sent with an order, usually requiring about twenty minutes time, he does well to be back in forty. It is quite an honor to him to keep store by himself while the boss has gone to dinner or to the barber shop for a shave. He likes and hates for Saturday to come because he has to wash the windows and work in the evening, but after all Saturday is payday. How many of you boys who Work at the stores does this story fit? -LOUIS MIKESELL. OH! YOUTH! ACT I, SCENE I. The dining room of a modefrn American home, tastefully, but inex- pensively furnished.

Sally- That's really awfully childish. Jim- Well, you sixteen-year-old granny, would you rather be childish once or lose the coat ? Sally- I guess we may as well try it.

John and Francis were two leaders that could always get the student body to show their spirit and have them yell all to- gether. They were very easy lead- ers to follow as they were perfect in keeping the same movements. both will be back next year to give their leadership. LET'S GO 'Ihis year our football team Was too many times defeated 5 Next year who'd dream Of having it repeated? So let's go in for athletics O11 the football field or track, And next year bring home the bacon For the Orange, Gray and Black. -J. E. CHAPMAN. THE COACH Coach Ray Jackson came to Ma- comb High in September, 1923. As usual, Jack put out a good team when lack of material seemed to make this impossible. If Jack's material is poor he makes this up with his ability. Coach Jackson deserves much credit for the way in which he has built up the athletic department. In track Jack developed a man who, in his preliminary heat at the State Track Meet, tied the State record of 10 flat in the 100-yard dash. It is the school's wish that Coach Jackson be back in his posi- tion again next year. Yea, Yea, Coach Jackson-Wow!

Tubby Frowein, our quarterback, thrilled the crowd by dashing fifty yards through the Quincy team to make the only score of the game. The team as a whole played a very good game considering the short time they had to prepare for it. MACOMB, 03 CARTHAGE, 0 The first game on foreign soil, Macomb battled Carthage to a score- less tie. The boys played a very good game considering the many unlucky breaks they receiveolg this alone kept them from winning against Carthage. MACOMB, Og GALESBURG, 13 After fighting desperately, Macomb High lost her first game to the fast Galesburg gridders by a score of 13 to 0. Although defeated, the team showed what they could do by holding the foe for downs when they were only six inches from another touchdown. MACOMB, 93 CANTON, 7 Macomb next defeated Canton 9 to 7 in a thrilling, hard-fought battle. Macomb scored first but failed to kick goal. Due to a fumble Canton nwu um Page Seventy-Nine C'?qlf qgapeu --'-IGLG, g .IFJ THE 1927 SPIDER WEB 0:11, scored and kicked goal, giving them the lead of 7 to 6. With only a few minutes left to play, Tubby kicked a 35-yard place kick which gave Ma- comb the victory. Greeley scored the touchdown after plowing 9 yards through the Canton line. Broadhead starred with his constant gains through the line. MACOMB, 03 ROCK ISLAND, 25 The team next journeyed to Rock Island and were defeated 25 to 0. The team played greatly improved football and our defeat by them was by no means a disgrace. There were no outstanding stars, the team play- ing as one individual. A fairly large crowd of rooters went with the team. MACOMB, 03 PEKIN, 10 Macomb next journeyed to Pekin and were beaten 10 to 0. This game was a complete upset as everyone thought Macomb would be completely snowed under. Pekin scored their touchdown on a long pass, the other three points were made by a place kick. Each player played his position almost faultlessly. McKee punted very well. MACOMB, 09 KEOKUK, 0 On Thanksgiving Day the team went to Keokuk where it battled to a scoreless tie. The field was in very poor condition making kicking and passing almost impossible. We fought with our regular spirit, but the breaks went to Keokuk. Several players were playing their last game, and consequently they fought harder. Total. points ...........

We should not forget Coach Jackson in the praise of our team as he was the one whose ingenuity was the master-mind for the players. He gave his very best time and efforts to this cause and we know that if it had not been for his pleasant cheerio or his gruff rebuke at the special time of need, the team would not be nearly as developed as it has been under the direction of Mr. Ray L. Jackson. We believe in our boys and think that the coach next year will find an efficient and willing squad to work With. Why should we not have a good team next year?

Time after time he would b1'C3.K through his opponents' line and throw the runner for a loss. On defense if the opponents did make a gain through him it was not because he did not try to stop them. In his next two years he should iuake a valuable linesman. DON TERRILL, RIGHT TACKLE CSIIBJ Sleepy received his first letter this year by playing during the first part of the season. He was a valuable sub to fill in the line when someone was need- ed. Tuffy is graduated this year. V CARI, DIINISAR, RIGHT END Dutch played his second year of foot- ball lor Macomb High and showed much improvement over last year. Dutch got down under punts nicely and there were but few times when oppon- ents got around his end for gains. He got many tackles in the Carthage game. With two more years ahead of him he should make a wonderful end. LIGLAND JACKSON, LEFT END Skeeter, although lacking in Weight, turned out to be a very dependable end. He held his own against heavier men with skill that was gained only by prac- tice. He was good in getting down un- der the punts. He has another year and with a few more pounds to his build he should again be seen at left end. LLOYD FROWEIN, QUARTERBACK Tubby proved an able field gen- eral. He was an accurate passer and could be depended upon to use the right play at the right time. Tubby was an excellent broken iield runner and an ac- curate place kicker. Tubby is graduated this year and his loss will be greatly felt. CKKLQ . ,W PFD Page Eighty-Two --o-1Qc ,,. ,, IFJ THE 1927 SPIDER WEB C'?II' l9l-0--M VERNON BROADHEAD, ICAPTAIN- ELECTJ RIGHT HALF Vernon was rather small for a back- tield man but he made up for this with his speed. He was a good interference runner and could be depended upon to get his man. He registered nice gains through the line as he was quick in getting started and ran very low. He has another year and will be a good leader for the team. SLOAN HANEY CSUBJ Sloan, like Terrill, played during the early part of the season. He won his letter as a linesman, where he proved to be a very valuable sub. He has two more years in which to develop into a regular linesman. DEAN BRUNER, LEFT TACKLE Dean proved to be a very capable tackle. Although not as fast as some of his team-mates, Dean made up for this with his weight. His smashing attacks were to be counted upon to open a hole for the ball-carrier to make those needed three or four yards. Dean has played his last year of football for M. H. S. and his loss will be felt. LESLIE KILLINGSWORTH, CENTER Surplus with his weight was an ideal man for the center position. In passing for a place kick or a punt he was very accurate and this gave the kicker much advantage. In many of the games the ball was very slippery but he always put the ball where it was wanted. Surplus has another year in which to fight for M. H. S. FRANCIS GREELEY, FULL BACK Fats was a hard-hitting back and he seldom failed to gain when given the ball. He backed up the line and always had plenty of iight to encourage his team-mates on. Fatty had plenty of speed and when he got started he was a hard man to bring down. Fats is lost by graduation. nge , Liss, FD Page Eighty-Three 6711- may - 0-ISU- 1-199 THE 1927 SPIDER WEB L KEITH HAMPTON, LEFT GUARD Keith was a fast lineman and this made him a very hard man to catch. He generally got the jump on his mang this ability netted results. Although he was a guard he was one of the first men to get down under punts. Keith had plenty of iight and usually carried out what was expected of him. His place will be hard to fill next year. GEORGE REED, FULL BACK Jim played his first year of football for M. H. S. this year. He was fast and hit very hard. Although he lacked experience, he always delivered the goods when he was sent into the game. Next year with much lll0I'9 experience he should be a valuable man. He has two more years. CHARLES McKEE, LEFT HALF Chuck finished his third year of football for M. H. S. I He was a very hard and accurate tackler. He was a constant ground gainer and would make an extra yard or two when his tackler thought he had him stopped. Chuck also was an excellent punter and next year we should find him much better. He has one more year. HARRY STOVER, RIGHT TACKLE Foggarty earned his Hrst letter this year. At the end of the season he was going line and proved a capable tackle. Owing to his huge build there were but few times the opponents made gains through his part oi the line and on o.- fense he succeeded in opening holes for the backfield to make nice gains. nw F53 Page Eighty-Four 0Hb 0 -4-fl PVD THE 1927 SPIDER WEB ffm, 461+-' we ill el ri EHEWET HALL SUMMARY OF GAMES MACOMB, 243 BARDOLPH, 12 In the opening tilt of the season Macomb High minus her captain defeated Bardolph on the foreign floor by a score of 24 to 12. The boys displayed a good brand of basketball considering the disadvantages, they had. V MACOMB, 223 KEOKUK, 12 Keokuk, an old enemy, was the next victim with the small end of 22 to 12 after a fast and rough battle. Macomb displayed a fine defense which Keokuk was unable to penetrate but for few times. Time after time Keo- kuk would be left standing helpless as one of our boys wou.d pivot around them and add two more points to the score. Captain McKee played his first game of the season in this game and he made a showing as did the other four players. MACOMB, 123 RUSHVILLE, 11 In one of the hardest fought games of the season Macomb defeated the fast Rushville quintet by the score of 12 to 11. It was anybody's game up to the final whistle. The team could not seem to hit their stride and won only after a very hard contest. The game was very clean, considering the close score. MACOMB, 18g ACADEMY, 21 In one of the hardest, clean-fought games between the locals, Macomb High lost to Western Academy by the score of 18 to 21. It was anybody's game up to the final whistle as first one and then the other team would lead by a single point and a good deal of the time the score was tied. At half time Macomb held the lead by 14 to 12. Frowein, weak from illness, played until he dropped to the fioor, exhausted. - -1 PFI Page Eighty-Five .7f,,.-uQ3n ilw.- THE 1927 SPIDER WEB 1 ,,,1., MACOMB, 243 MONMOUTH, 14 After losing to the Academy Macomb High came back to her own and swamped Monmouth to the tune of 24 to 14. This game closed the careers of Frowein and Greeley in M. H. S. basketball. Tubby ended up in fine style by scoring seventeen points in this game. MACOMB, 6g QUINCY, 13 With practically a new and inexperienced team Macomb bowed to Quincy by a score of 6 to 13. At half time the count was 6 to 6 but in the last half Quincy drew away to win by seven points over the more inex- perienced M. H. S. men. MACOMB, 7g AVON, 17 Macomb next journeyed to Avon where the men were defeated by a score of 7 to 17. The team seemed lost and could not get going. Pen- nington with five points starred for Macomb. MACOMB, 63 MONMOUTH, 9 Monmouth came to Macomb to gain revenge from a previous defeat at our hands. After a rough and fast game they emerged the winner by a score of 9 to 6. Both teams displayed a good defense but were unable to connect with the hoop. MACOMB, 103 ACADEMY, 22 In the second game of the city series Academy again proved to be the winner. Still old hard luck of being unable to hit baskets hung over the High School crew and they went down to defeat the second time by a score of 10 to 22. Crowe starred and the rest deserve much credit as they cer- tainly did not lack fight from the initial to the final whistle. MACOMB, 93 GALESBURG, 26 After the Academy game Macomb invaded Galesburg and were de- feated 26 to 9. The game was played on the Armory floor and its largeness was a disadvantage to us. Galesburg had a good team and our defeat by them was by no means a disgrace. MACOMB, 165 RUSHVILLE, 15 Playing the best game in the second semester, Macomb High came to her own and defeated the speedy Rushville tive 16 to 15. The game was close throughout and the boys made a good account of themselves. Rush- ville was beaten in a former game by one point and as they were on their home floor they seemed certain of victory, but Macomb outplayed them more than the score indicates. MACOMB, 9g AVON, 16 Avon was our next foe and after a fast game defeated us by a score of 16 to 9. Neither team scored in the first quarter and at half time Avon held a slight lead. In the third period Macomb rallied and went into the lead only to be beaten in the last quarter. Dunbar and Broadhead starred on defense. x Page Eighty-Six 1.

After mowing down Bardolph, Keokuk, and Rushville like 1-2-3, we popped up against the formidable Western Academyg there our balloon burst, but there is some satisfaction in knowing that the rubber was strong. In this game the defenders of the Orange and Black banner fought honorably and We should be proud of the spirit of our boys dis- played to a remarkable degree by Tubby Frowein in this game against our local foe. After our spill with the Academy we came back strong against Mon- mouth. In the next game we played Quincy turned the tables on us from last year. Then we were continued to be mowed down 1-2-3 by Avon, Monmouth, and Academy. Then, to crown it all, Galesburg overwhelmed us. However, old M. H. S. came back against the fast Rushville crew and upset them to the joyous cries of four hundred Macomb High students. The final scheduled game was taken in by Avon. In the W. I. S. T. C. Invitational Tournament we were stopped in the initial round by the Swedes from Knoxville. Then, in the District Tourna- ment, having defeated Colchester, we were in turn defeated for the third time by You Know Who. l...- Page Eighty- Seven ....i A 'rf-I6 THE 1927 SPIDER WEB Dewi, LELAND JACKSON, LEFT GUARD AND CENTER 'Skeeter played alternately between center and guard. In either position he usually connected and made a basket when it was needed badly. Jackson also displayed plenty of fight and proved to be a strategic player. His presence next year will mean a lot to the team. LLOYD FROWEIN '1'ubby played his last year of bas- ketball for Macomb High School this year. Besides having a wonderful eye for the basket he was the main cog in carrying out plays to bring the team through to victory. Frowein could be depended upon to put the ball in the right place at the right time. His loss will be greatly felt. V I N CAPTAIN-ELECT DUNBAR, RIGHT GUARD Dutch proved to be a great deal better this year than last, and devel- oped into a good guard by the end of the season. He picked up his man nicely and it was very seldom that a basket was scored because of his poor guarding. Dunbar played a steady game in which there was no lack of iight. Dutch was honored by being selected as guard on the first all-star team in the District Tournament at Western. He has two more years and will be a life-saver. LEWIS PENNINGTON, RIGHT FORWARD Penny played his first year of bas- ketball this year. He lacked experience but he made this up with his line eye for baskets. He could shoot from any angle on the floor and usually connect- ed with most of the ringers ibut we must not let you think this is horse- shoel. It is too bad that he cannot be back for all next year for there is no doubt that he would develop into a very valuable player. Page Eigh ty-Eight 4933 THE 1927 SPIDER WEB LESLIE KILLINGSWORTH, Left Guard Surplus, although a little large, proved to be a capable man at the guard post. If compelled to shoot long shots Surplus with his powerful, easy shot made his share of them. With a little more experience next year he should make a good running mate to Dunbar. He has another year. FRANCIS GREELEY Fats played his last year of bas- ketball for M. H. S. this year. He turned out to be a good guard and a wonderful dribbler. Time after time Greeley would dribble the full length of the iloor through the entire oppos- ing team to count up a basket. His iight has many times brought back the fighting spirt to the other players. His fighting laugh will be certainly missed next year. ROBERT CROWE. , Center Bob started out as a sub-forward but later in the season he played at center. Although a new man at this position he showed up remarkably well. He had a fine eye for short shots and seldom failed to make them if given half a chance. In the Academy game he made three such shots. He has another year and should develop into a valuable player. VERNON BROADHEAD, Left Forward Vernon was without doubt the fast- est man on the team. With his speed and covering ability it was very hard for any player to get away from him and score. On offense he had a. peculiar way of getting away from his man to ring up two or more points for M. H. S. He has another year in which to fight for M. H. S.

Hampton took care of the three dashes in great fashion, Winning all of his starts except two, those being in the State Meet where he placed third in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. In his preliminary heat he tied the State record of :10 in the 100 yard dash. Keith also ran in the relay. Sutherland, although small, proved to be a real miler. He Won first in the County and Military Meets. This year he should develop into a good distance relay runner. Mercer proved himself a real high-jumper by going 5 feet 915 inches. Dick won first in the County Meet, placed third in the District and second in the Rushville Meet.

Skeeter also ran in the relay. McKee ran in the 120 yard high hurdles in which he placed fourth. Chuck also ran in the relay, where he ran well. Frowein placed third in the 880 yard run in the County Meet and in the same event in the Rushville Meet he placed fourth. Tubby also ran in the relay.

Since the organ- ization of this Association, the M. H. S. W. A. A. has grown rapidly. Membership is open to all girls of the High School who make thirty points in any of the several sports offered. Every member must make ten points every twelve weeks' period or forfeit her membership. Two honors are offered to all W. A.
