As the end of the school year nears, I am happy to think that the departing Seniors can take with them memories of worthy accomplishment. This accomplishment is not to be measured by grades alone, nor by this excellent edition of 'I the Spider Web. Rather, it is the total of a great many things, too many to list, by which they helped promote new activities and new attitudes which vie trust vxill be continued to make Macomb High a better and happier school. Class ot 1935, we thank you ior what you' have done, and wish you success in what you shall attenipt in tl.e future. 1 W. N. ATKINSON, - Principal ot Macomb High School. Let me take this opportunity to express my satisfaction in the splendid spirit ot co-operation that has been manifest this year, not only on the part of the class oi '35 but the remainder of the student body and faculty. Mr. W. A. Roebling, who built Brooklyn Bridge was asked on his death bed, if anything could break his bridge. l-Iis reply in a whisper was, Yes, one company C230 ment of marching men. Many more fine things may be accomplished in the future by 500 students and a good faculty working in har- mony and unison, and will usherin the day when we will send no Diogenes around Macomb High with his lantern to show the community that we have a superior high school and class of '35.

The idea of a student council was tor the lirst time carried out in the Macomb High School this year. The council has sixteen members besides Mr. Atkinson. Each advisory in the school has one representative in the council. Richard Pettit was chosen as chairman ot the council. The council is attempting to promote good citizenship among the pupils. They have approved the Newspaper, the Library assistants, and have installed hall monitors during class hours on the two floors. The duty of the monitor is to see that a record is kept of every person who goes to his locker during class. This organization has been a great improvement to the Macomb High School and we hope it will be better next year. ADMINISTRATION SAYINGS OF THE FACULTY Atkinson, William N.

Soon humorous debates were given and from the members ot the club two teams were chosen. The Debate Club then became uni- fied so that there was an assembly program in which three boys de- fended themselves against three girls very successfully.

We won three, tied one and lost six games. The boys battled Rushville to a O to O tie, defeated Canton, Keokuk, and Hannibal, and were defeated by Ft. Madison, Quincy, Beardstown, Bushnell, and Kirksville. Starting the season with a very small and inexperienced team the boys' hopes were not the best in the world but what they lacked in weight the boys made up for in spirit and aggressiveness. We finished our last year in the Tri-State Conference in fourth place with two victories and three defeats. We defeated Hannibal and Keokuk and lost to Quincy, Ft. Madison and Kirksville. Our season ended in a blaze of glory when we defeated Keokuk and Hannibal. At the end of the season the boys were given two dinners, one by the Business Men's Club and one by Mr. Dunbar.

After not having entered the county tourna: ment because of interference with the semester examinations, the' team won first in the district tournament held at Western Academy. To accomplish this feat the team beat the Colchester lads, breaking a record of 21 consecutive wins by C. C. McCormick's boys. This game was the decisive battle of the tournament for whichever team won that game could easily win the tourna- ment. In the Tri-State Conference this year Macomb gained only two victories and both of these were over Kirksville. However, out of 22 games played on the regular schedule Macomb won eleven for an even break for the season. Macomb brought back the city title this year by defeating the Academy by scores of 24 to 14 and 17 to 13. The boys were defeated by Canton in their fgrst game at the district tournament.

The experience thus obtained has been very valuable to each member of the club. ' The club enjoyed a pot luck supper early in the year but during the second semester concentrated on putting the library in shape tor the next year. COMMERCIAL CLUB idea ot increasing interest and knowl- edge in subjects pertaining to business. During the year two very entertaining plays were given, A Dollar Down and By I-looks and Crooks. Several parties were held, the last being a pot luck supper followed by a theatre party. The last meeting was a club talent program, very cleverly presented. The club intends to limit the members next year to those taking shorthand and typingg it also plans to pay more at- tention to attaining various awards presented by the Gregg Publishing Company for outstanding speed and accuracy records in shorthand and typing. The club was sponsored by Miss Laura lohnston, who was very ably assisted by the following officers: President-Clarice Bowman Vice-Pres.-Luan Rost Secretary-Maxine Kernal Treasurer-Marguerite Stanley VAGABOND CLUB from membership. Only small one-act plays were presented. ln '26 Miss Roadstrum was their leader, and a student could obtain membership by writing or being in a play. The members of the -club studied the lives of leading dramatists and, in a limited way, make-up. They presented one play, The Love of Pete. ln '27, '28, and '29 the club was under the leadership of Miss Hawkins. The club met every other Tuesday evening, the time being spent in read- ings and dramatizations, reviews ot modern plays, and biographies ot mod- Page Thirty-four ern playwrights. In 1927 the club won first in a Halloween Parade and in 1929 pins were presented to every member. Miss Moore was sponsor in '30, '31, and '32. In 1932 the Vagabond Club's first play, Mammy's Lil' Wild Rose, was given before the public. In '33 and '34 Miss Spears was the leader, and now in '35 Miss Brittain is carrying on. The club is doing just as much, if not more, and having just as much fun as in any other year. One play, 'lHeart Trouble, was presented to the public in the M. I-I. S. auditorium on December 21, 1934. THE DEBATE CLUB for volunteers. A goodly gathering was assembled and from it six were chosen. These two teams composed of affirm- ative-Iames Patterson, Richard Pettit and Fred Burnham, and negative- Richard Cook, Harold Morrow and Eldon Knoedlery traveled all over this part of the country giving debates. They entered the District and county contests which were held at Western. At a recent meeting the Debate Club decided to award gold pins to the six members of the squad who have worked so valiantly and who have merited the acclaim of the school.

' 'HEART TROUBLE The play concerns a socially am- bitious daughter, Laura Morrison, who Page Thirty-tive ORGANIZATIONS snubs her small town lover drug clerk, Tommy Caler, for a new golf pro, Con- rad Tyler, all at the instigation of the likewise socially ambitious mother, Mrs. Grace Morrison. Fred Morrison, the father, frames a plot that burns into love consequences through having the daughter, Patricia, make advances to- ward the drug clerk to bring Laura to her senses. Iunior Morrison, the son, does a great deal in his adolescent way to humor the situation, all the time satisfying the social ambitions of his mother by getting in strong with the banker's daughter, Lenore Appleby. The surprise comes at the end of the second act when Mrs. Conrad Tyler, the wife of the golf professional, ap- pears on the scene and smashes the social ambitions for Laura. The play ends very satisfactorily for everyone concerned and proved to be one of the most entertaining comedies ever pro- duced in M. H. S.

The smug- glers take advantage of the villagers' awe and use superstition in their business. It is only through the cleverness and quickness of an apparently incompetent Scotland Yard detective that the mystery of the spectre and the attendant deaths are cleared up.

A vocal contest was sponsored in the Iunior High: Thelma Abington won first place, Lorraine Wasdell, sec- ond, and Alleyne Mullen, third. On the whole, each girl feels that she has accomplished a great deal, and hopes that in the future the Girls' Club will be enjoyed as much as it has been this year. BOYS' GLEE CLUB At the end of the school year there were thirty members. The Glee Club's first appearance was at the Christmas assembly in which two appropriate carols were sung. lt next appeared during an afternoon meeting at a local church. A few weeks later the club assisted the band in its concert at the Illinois Theatre. The final and best concert was a minstrel show presented in May before the school assembly. Next year the Glee Club hopes to give many enjoyable concerts. The members of the Glee Club are as follows: First Tenor: Second Tenor: Abington, A. Butcher, L. Hammond, R. Cook, R.

Vice-President-Esther Patton. Secretary-Eunice Helms. Treasurer--Carolyn Lawson. Meetings were held every two weeks during activity period in Room 4. The high lights of the social year were the Kid Party and Adamless Dance. Much credit is due the program com- mittee of this club for its success. THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Aside from basketball practices and numerous meetings nothing occurred until the Christmas party, held on Fri- day, December 21. In a beautifully decorated room cootie was played, followed by a delicious buffet dinner. All the lady faculty members were guests for the evening. The second semester initiation party was held in the gym March 13, followed by a pot luck supper. On March 23, an invitational dance was held. The gym was attractively decorated in the G. A. A. colors, blue and white. Music was furnished by Don Winkles' orchestra. Most of the girls participated in the Telegraphic Shooting Tournament held the latter part of March. The basic idea of the G. A. A. is to promote good sportsmanship, health and activity. The membership this year is approxi- mately 50 girls. The officers are: President-Clarice Bowman. Vice-President-Charlotte Lewis. Secretary-Leota Felsman. Treasurer--lean Wetherhold. THE JUNIOR CLASS Since that first harrowing week in September of 1932 when we trod the seemingly endless halls of M. H. S. inquiring meekly of upper- classmen Will you please tell me where room 18 is? , we have felt a genuine love for our Page Thirty-six ORGAN-'IZAIIIIQNE , Alma Mater. We are trying our best to be a credit to her and in some small measure repay her for all she has taught us, and all of the good times she has afforded us. Among our members, several have distinguish- ed themselves in athletics. Beany Brown, our president, needs no introduction. We all know his merits in football and basketball. Coop Cooper is also one of our foremost football stars. Earl Arnold, as well, has made a name for him- self in football. Kooch Kutcher has found a place for his sweet and childlike voice as cheerleader. Yet our laurels do not rest alone upon athletics. Several of our members have shown a marked inclination toward the literary. Rach Bottor-ft, Muggy Crone and Tip Thompson won high honors in the Sub-District and District contests of the Illinois State High School Literary and Music Association, and have brought home three pennants. Gene Quinn took part, with Rach and Tip , in the one-act play, The Wandering Scholar from Paradise, that won first place in the Sub-District contest. We also have a great many members in the band, a most noteworthy organization. We firmly believe that among the many, though scattered brains in our class, a few will grow to such proportions as to enable us to someday proudly say Why, yes, 1 graduated from M. H. S. in the class of '36 with the present President of these United States. Knoedler, Eldon lDarleneJ Basketball, l-25 Noel, lohn lOrphiel Captain Applejackf' 35 Football, 1-2.

The strong man, Mr. Rawlings, with gleaming knife in hand, gazed at the smooth, white body in the water. 1 cannot do it, he groaned, lt's not a man's work. Tears streamed down his cheeks.
