He attended the University of Dcs Moines for three years and then went to Lombard College where he secured his degree. Upon leaving school he was director of physical education in the high school at Knoxville, Illinois before coming to Macomb. “Dick has certainly made a success here at old M. H. S. Our football and basket ball teams were of first caliber due to his excellent coaching. Here's to many more years of successful team building to our Coach Baxter. THE SPIDER WEB Captain Hllms One of the aims of every man on the football team is to he chosen honorary captain by his teammates. This year the honor of football captain: hip was awarded to Russell Helms. Russ played at tackle and the opposing team knew they had a fight to the finish on their hands. His playing was always consistent and his loss through graduation will be a great one to the team. THE SPIDER WEB Football Season Over thirty-three men answered the first call for football last fall and at the end of the season there were two full teams, a record never equaled in the history of M H. S. Although the larger number of these men were green material they were filled with the spirit of g x d sportsmanship and they never stopped fighting until the game was over. Coach Baxter is to be congratulated on the way he trained the boys to play the game regardless of the score.

GERALD CURTIS Gerry, although small, was mighty and played a great game. He had the misfortune to break his ankle which kept him out of some of the games. CARL DUNBAR Dutch is. without doubt, one of the best all around athletes to ever graduate fiom Macomb High. He ha-received four awards in football, three in basket ball and four in track. He played fullback this year and was always in the thick ol the light. His tackling and kicking were of A No. 1 quality. It will be a long time before anyone can be found to fill his place. JOHN EWING Johnny played as substitute center and although new at the game he played like a veteran. He always put the pig kin in the right man's hand and put it there to stay. Unfortunately this is hr- la t year and his loss w:ll be keenly felt by the back field men next year. —:-------------------------[ I I 3 y •Sixty eight THE SPIDER WEB —— PAUL GALLOWAY Peanuts played an end position and with his light and speed held down his part of the line like a veteran. He has two more years in high school and it he continues to play the quality of football that he did this year there will he nothing to worry about as far as one end is concerned. SLOAN HANEY Bud was a fast and hard hitting guard, always getting his man and never giving up until the final whistle This is his last year and his loss will leave a weak place in the line next year. GLEN LAWSON Glen, although a new man at M H. S. this year, played at a substitute position of guard like an old hand. He fought hard, giving every ounce he had and never quitting till the iirial gun. ROBERT LINDSTEDT Bob played along with Galloway at an end position. Like Peanuts, he had plenty of height and speed and very few passes lipped through his hands. Bob is a junior and has one more year to light lor the Orange and Black. [ 1 9 2 9] Sixty nine THE SPIDER WEB ERRET LINKS One of the best men in the back field this year was Links. It took a fast, hard-hitting man to stop him. In the Havana game he had the misfortune to break his collar bone and was out for the rest of the season. JOHN LINKS John was only a suh this year but he worked hard and made the boys on the first string fight every night. CLOYD MUSTA1N Cloyd's playing was not spectacular but it was dependable for whenever he was needed he never failed. He played tackle and when he hit around the shoe laces some one went down. His loss to the team by graduation is a great one. ROY PRICE Roy played as a substitute half-b’ck this year and. although only a freshman. showed great promise. [19291 Seventy THE SPIDER WEB GEORGE REED Jim played half-back and safety man in a stellar fashion, always getting his man and fighting to the finish. This is his la't year and his place in the hackfield will he hard to fill. CONRAD SENN Con is a cousin of the famous R 11 Senn of the Chicago Bears and has certainly inherited some of Big Bill’s ability. As a half-back he was hard to beat and we know that he will continue his good work next year. MAURICE SLOAN Maury played substitute end and half-back and he played the game hard and fast. He was a first-class tackier and when he started for the goal he was hard to stop. LAWRENCE STEWART Larry, like Maurice, played as a sub titute but he made the first string men realize that they were up against a fighter. [19 2 9 ] — Seventy one THE SPIDER WEB Captain Dunbar Dutch, our center, was one of the most outstanding players in this part of of state. His consistent playing could always he depended on in the most critical moments of the game. He was selected a honorary captain of the squad this car, an honor of which he was certainly worthy. (g eO™ . [ i 9: y ]-------------8 ? Seventy two THE SPIDER WEB Basket Ball Season The turnout for basket ball this year was the largest we have ever had, about forty-five aspiring cagers opening the season. Owing to the overcrowded conditions and the small gym, the men had to work in shifts. Coach Baxter taking care of the first string men and Mr. Bishop the second. In the three tournaments in which our team played, they lost their games by very small margins. But because of the splendid fight which the boys made in each game, we were proud of them, even in defeat.

H. S. this year. As a guard he was always in the right spot at the right time. Unfortunately for the team, he graduates this year. PAUL GALLOWAY Peanuts, an old man at the game, played his forward position like an all-star, making baskets consistently all season. His height was a great asset both in getting the tip off and in rolling in the baskets. GLEN LAWSON Law. on, an old Camden High School flash, came out for the team this year and played real basket ball. Whenever he was put into the game he showed a fine type of fighting spirit as well as ability to play the game. ----- C 1929]== Seventy four THE SPIDER WEB ROBERT LINDSTEDT Bob came up from the ranks this year and played a whole season of whirlwind basket hall. He had a dead eye for the hoop and could always be depended on for a number of points. GEORGE REED Jim. although handicapped by an eye guard, played basket ball in a way which made many an opposing team stop, look, and listen. KENNETH YEAST Kenny, like Napoleon, was small but mighty and played his position in a man sized fashion. He had a good eye for the hoop and could be counted on for his shart of points.

Because of lack of material, only two men were sent to represent Macomb High although a full team consists of four men. Kenner finished the two miles, fourteenth, and Bainter, twenty-fourth. Track Macomb High went to Iowa's Annual Indoor Interscholastic Track Meet held at Iowa State University, Iowa City, on April 6, 1929. Out of the forty-two entries in the pole vault, Dunbar tied for second place, topping the bar at 1 T ■{. Kenner finished fourth in his section of the half-mile out of a field of nine starts, his time being 2 minutes and 12 seconds. Foster placed fourth in his heat of the mile run, making the distance in 4 minutes and 5 1 seconds. The relay team composed of Lawson, Galloway, Kenner and Foster a'so ran but did not fin sh owing to an error in passing the baton. . ■■-■1.,-= 119 2 9 ] D5 g) Seventy seven THE SPIDER WEB Pep That the pep meetings this year have been bigger and better has been due to the existence of the Pep Committee. This committee consisted of six Seniors, Irene Shupe, Dorothy Standard, Dorothy Crain, John Fuhr, Donald Metzgar and Adrian Butterfield. When Adrian graduated at the end of the first semester, his place was filled by Errett Links. This group got together during vacant periods and planned special features for each pep assembly. Thus, the monotony of just yelling was relieved and the whole school began to look forward to the pep meetings. The Block M, a yelling section made up of girls in special costume, was another activity sponsored by the Pep Committee. This group was a great addition in color and enthusiasm to the basket ball games. ....=[ 1 9293- ..........

The fundamental idea of the Council lay in the fact that the students would enjoy and appreciate their school to a fuller extent by having a chance to express their ideas and give advice on different school problems. Many minor affairs heretofore unknown to the faculty were also handled by this group. Acting under the leadership of Mr. Quick the Council has had a most successful year in helping carry out some of the schtxil routine.

I was awful scared and I sure had an awful time getting my own hat out of the cloak room. 7- One class is called Assembly. I've been assemblin' all by myself for four days but today the whole school came in and we sang songs. 13—I'm getting on to my new classes now. 1 think Miss Pfeiffer's awful purty, but, boy, she's sure got red hair! 22-—Pop let me come into town this afternoon to see the football game. We won. Macomb 7, B'ville 6. 25 They wouldn't let me try out to be a Vagabond because I'm just a Freshman. Wisht I'd started out as a Senior. 29—We won another football game today from Keokuk. 6-0.

OCTOBER 3—Mr. Quick called us in and gave us a lot of new rules and told us how to walk down stairs. 6—We had another football game at Rushville. I guess their soil is as good as ours 'cause we beat them 25-0. 12— Mr. Quick said that Bob Lindstedt broke a record and everyone got mad and yelled. I don't know whether it was a new one or not. Mr. Baxter gave a speech and said we were going to beat Quincy tomorrow. 13- —Pop and I both went to the big game. Quincy 14, Macomb 0. Pop got excited and lost lus Sunday hat. Mom doesn't know it yet, but I sure want to be among those absent when she finds it out. 17—The Vagabonds gave a play in Assembly this morning. It was called Who's the Boss. It reminded me of a team of mules we just broke. 26—We played Havana in the rain. It sure was exciting. I got a nickel to buy a candy bar from the girl I like best in school. Havana beat us, 26-18. 31 — Hallowe’en! I went home and hid my head under the covers. I was sure scared---------oooooh --------ghosts! NOVEMBER 1—We had Assembly. That fat Moon girl sang. She laughed too, she always does. When I get to be a Senior I'm going to laugh as much as she does. Bill Wyne played the piano and it was sure good. I wisht he'd sit still though, he just jiggled all over the bench. Everyone said it was “hot but I didn’t see any fire. That Hanan girl danced after that and I bet she got cold. I liked it. though.
