CH PPLEAR, SUPERINTENDENT In the graduate school of Columbia University, I enjoyed the intimate friendship of an able Chinese scholar. Once in conversation, he inquired casually about the subjects my father taught. I told him my father was not a teacher but a farmer. He expresse unconcealed astonishment at this fact. He told me his father was a teacher and members of his family had been teachers for generations. In China, the pattern of life usually works out so that the young people are cast in the social and economic status of heir parents. To a very large extent, the same practice exists in the European countries. In the United States, we enjoy the freedom of movement in the social and economic classes of society not found in any other nation. The son of a day laborer is not necessarily limited by that iact. He may become a professional man or hold high political office in the United States. Our American high school is a true product of American democracy. The free public high school is the largest single factor providing opportunity for youth of integrity and intelligence irrespective of their social and economic background. I trust the students of the Macomb High School appreciate the opportunities provided by that institution and that they will hold fast and guard the principles of freedom and democracy in America, which makes possible the Macomb High School. W. N. ATKINSON PRINCIPAL Each class, as it is graduated, leaves behind some record of its achievements and carries with it memories of school days. May this book stand as one of the honors of the class of 1937 and likewise aid, in future years, in keeping bright the memory of happy days. The sincerest best wishes of the faculty, as of your principal, go with you. - { Page 7 OUR FACULTY — mm mmmmmmtmmammmm We, the Senior Class of 1937, wish to sho consideration shown us by our teachers.

This body has performed several important duties this year. Members of the council visited other schools to learn new ideas by which to improve our school— supervises the clean-up of lockers and halls, and has sponsored many excellent assembly programs. One of the outstanding jobs of the student council was to prepare and sell activity tickets and distribute Mahiscul News every week. An innovation advocated by this body was the new time schedule by which classes begin at eight o'clock and are dismissed at three twenty-three o'clock. The final act this year of the student council was to choose and supervise hall monitors. This body strives to give the students what they want which will at the same time improve the whole school.

They have kept up a fine spirit throughout their four years. They have been known in athletics during their freshman year and have kept up their good work during their four years in Macomb High School. They also starred in dramatics. They have never given their teachers any troubled?) This year this class will bid Farewell to Macomb High School, and we expect them to be as successful in later years as they were in their high school days. -ot Page 17 } - JUNIOR GIRLS JUNIOR GIRLS Top: L.-R.—M.

During the past year, the members held various contests in pistol and rifle shooting, as well as fly-casting and bait-casting in the way of fishing.

The team was rather inexperienced at the first of the season due to the loss of several veterans, but what the boys didn’t have in experience they made up with fight. The Orange and Black defeated Lewistown, Carthage, Bushnell, and Havana while going down to defeat before Quincy, Beardstown, Galesburg and Monmouth. Bushnell, Lewistown, Havana, and Beardstown were Spoon River Valley opponents and Macomb finished second in the Spoon River Valley Conference with three wins and one defeat. There were five seniors on the team and each one of these boys will be greatly missed next year. BASKETBALL SEASON, 1936-1937 The past season with 20 wins out of 29 games was considered very successful by the coach and local fans. Although the team lost several lettermen and was a little slow in starting, they soon turned out a winning combination. The team reached a peak near the end of the season and finished out the season in good form. Our guintet took the regional tournament at Roseville and entered the Galesburg sectional tourney but on the first night the team played off form and lost to Dunlap. At the end of the season the Macomb Business Men gave the team a very fine banguet at the Hotel Lamoine. - { Page 28 )«- TRACK — 1937 M. H. S. enjoyed a most successful track season in 1937, due to the increased interest shown by both members of the team and the students. Dual meets were held at the beginning of the season with both Roseville and Lewistown. The thinly clads took the County Meet with 67 points. The team also finished fifth in the Spoon River Valley Meet at Beardstown, and did very well in both Military Tract and the District. Coach Strickland took several of the boys to the Pittsfield and Fort Madison Relays held in May. The underclassmen, who will make the future team are doing well this year, and we expect to have an even a better team next year. BASEBALL — 1937 The baseball sguad held its first game at Colchester. Although they did not do so well in this game, they have improved. They also had several games with various teams in the county. All in all M. H. S. had a very successful baseball season. Page 29 }« - SUB-DEB CLUB n A. G. K. SUB-DEB The Sub-Deb Club has carried on its work very much the same as in previous years. A new departure has been three city advisors as well as two faculty advisors, the former: Mrs. W. N. Atkinson, Mrs. G. McDill, and Mrs. W. A. Walker, the latter: Miss Clara Carrison, and Miss Verna Gene Morris. To this the club attributes much of the success they have had with their dances, parties, and schemes for raising money. The officers were as follows: President—Charlotte Maquire Secretary—Alice Rose Brown Vice-President—Clarice Calvert Treasurer—Ethel Murfin A G K The Alpha Girls Klub was organized at the starting of the year in hope of helping the beginning girls to become better acquainted with the school activities. During the past year we have succeeded in doing many useful and interesting things. The Klub met every other week and held some kind of entertainment; playing different games, music programs, dancing, and readings. Potluck dinners were held and several sales were sponsored for the purpose of the club. The girls were divided into several groups each girl being on a committee for sponsoring different things. Although this was the first year for many of the girls, it proved very successful and all the girls willingly did their share in the work. President—Dona McGaughey Secretary—Mary Thompson Vice-President—Luan Carlisle Treasurer—Mary Robinson H Page 30 } - G. A. A. MODEL AEROPLANE CLUB © G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association, one of Macomb High School's oldest organizations, is open to all girls interested in athletics. Meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays, and practice periods are held every Wednesday and Thursday evening after school. The purpose of the club is to provide opportunities for all girls interested to particiapte in athletics. Duirng March a number of members of the club entered the Basketball Tele graphic Shooting Contest. The 1936-1937 officers of the club are: President—Lois Adair Vice-President—Irene Jack Secretary-Treasurer—Marjorie Switzer MODEL AEROPLANE CLUB The Model Aeroplane Club is a new club, organized this year under the sponsorship of Mr. Jack. Meetings are held every Tuesday and are spent in working on aeroplane models, discussing aviation, and in having model aeroplane contests. There was an aeroplane meet this spring. The club's officers are: President—Robert Knoedler Secretary—Ralph Weaber Page 31 } - NATIONAL FORENSIC CLUB ill VAGABOND CLUB PLAYS NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Macomb High received its chapter in the N. F. L. in 1935. Because all the charter members and coaches left last year, it was necessary for the club to reorganize this year. This is a club of national support and interest. It is considered an honor to belong to the N. F. L.; as one must express his ability to speak and interpret well. In the Sub-District contest at Canton, Maurice Arnold placed 1st and James Kaufman placed 3rd. After placing first Maurice, was eligible for the District in which he placed 5th. Six members competed in the speech and debate tournament held at Lincoln, Illinois accompanied by Mr. McDill. VAGABOND CLUB PLAYS In His Majesty Sleeps, Mary Marjorie Watson protrayed Princess Elaine very effectively and her lover, John DeRosa, as Paul or King Lorn, played both parts well. Princess Elaine's maid, Nora, was Miriam Bottorff. Dick Smith made a very dignified Prime Minister and Bradford Sullivan looked very much like the Ambassador from I om. The plays were under the direction of Mrs. Good, who deserves much credit for their success. Page 32 } - SENIOR CLASS PLAY JUNIOR CLASS PLAY JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The class of 1937 presented The Yankee King” as their junior play. It was given in the high school auditorium on Friday evening, May 21st, and was directed by Mrs. Good. „ , , ... , , . , Maurice Arnold, as Pa Hinkle”, proved that an old dog can learn new tricks, and that a hen-pecked husband need not stay that way. Ma, boss of the family for many years, was more than a little surprised at the change in her husband. MarV Kathryn Paulsgrove portrayed Ma” so well that we wondered where she had had previous experience. Much credit goes to John Campbell, playing the part of Wilbur and to Pat Heidemann, as Marian,” for adding pep and interest to the pro- duction.

Page 33 } ► HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Senior Band of Macomb High School now consists of approximately 100 students. This band is divided into two divisions, the Deluxe Band which consists of 60 of the most advanced students, and the Junior Band which is for the beginners. Mr. Franklin Bunnell has been the director of this band ever since its beginning four years ago. The officers for the years of 1936-1937 are: President—Marjorie Swigart Vice-President—Elizabeth Elting Secretary-Treasurer—Clifford Clause The Deluxe Band is one of the most popular and important organizations of Macomb High School. This band plays for many school activities including all home football and basketball games. This band has showed marked improvement this year and it hopes to do as well in the years to follow. The success of this band has been due to the cooperation of the people who have supported it, Mr. Bunnell, and the student members. Page 34 } - Page 35 JUNIORS One more year in which to reach our goal! We are acknowledged as upper classmen along with the seniors. This perhaps was one secret anxiety. Many boys of our junior class have entered into basketball and football activi-tives. Undoubtedly they can be acknowledged as ''regular'' team members. Football and basketball are not the only activities that are well represented, but these two seem to comprise the largest percentage. Dramatics, music, debate, and band include many junior boys and girls. We are satisfied that we have made the Junior Class of 1937 a worthwhile class and may our senior year be just as worthwhile! President—Wendell Williams Vice-President—Clarence Doran Secretary—Leland Mathis Treasurer—Patricia Heidemann SOPHOMORES Two more years and we'll be seniors. Yes, we're looking forward to that. We're better acquainted with the teachers, we have learned more about the activities and on the whole we know the school better. Now’s the time to show what we sophomores have done. We're represented well and thought of as the every beaming, cheerful sophomore. No longer do we wonder who the fellow students are, but we have had the two whole years to make them friends. Upon taking a slight notice at the games how many familiar sophomore faces did you recognize? Not only were we just there, but we were doing our best to help our two sophomore cheer leaders to rouse the old school spirit. As the happy school year of '36 and '37 ended we endeavored to make all the students of M. H. S. realize how difficult it would be to get along without us and we can sincerely say it was one grand, glorious year. FRESHMEN Our Freshman Class of '37 is not at all so unimportant as it is thought to be. Upon entering Macomb High School in September, activities and surroundings were new to us, not to spea£ of new teachers, new faces, and new problems to be encountered. Although some consider the freshman inferior, many joined in the outside activities, such as Vagabond Club, Glee Club, Debate Club, football, and basketball. Many freshmen boys went out for football and basketball which seemed to them to be the more important activities. These boys will be our future team members upon which a great deal will depend. After considering our part in curricular and outside activities we wonder why we are still referred to as green freshies.

Is love but something to sing about, Something dreams would bring about, That comes and goes as a sunny day, A flower that blooms and fades in May? Is love but something to sing about, Something God must bring about, God's own something that fills all space, Mine for a day, some heart, some face? Is love but something to sing about, Something the heartstrings cling about, Something to patiently yearn for. To e'er and again return for? Is love but something to sing about, While grave realities sting about, The beauty, the sweetness of our prayers, The smile on Dream's bright golden stairs? Tell me— Is love but something to sing about? —Jeanne Logsdon “LIFE’S LITTLE PROBLEM” Girls nowadays Sure puzzle me. Such funny ways! They try to be With all their paint And permanents Just what they ain't. But what's the sense Of saying so? They would tell you Just where to go. And what to do; So I suppose 'F I want a wife To mend my clothes 'Most all my life, 'N cook 'n bake; 'F I want 'er at all I'll have to take Her, paint 'n all. —Louis Gamage THAT’S LIFE The moon shone brightly through the window where the young girl stood. There was a wild look in her eyes and her thin haggard face was deathly white. Something in her hand caught the moon's rays and glistened brightly. It was a gun. As she stood there, she thought back to the months past after her young husband had left her. Waiting for months, in vain, wasn't any fun. Crying every night for him had finally worn her frail strength down and now she wanted to guit, to give up this great game of life. Standing there with gun raised, her hand shook and a voice whispered to her, Wait, he'll come back, but still another cried, now, or never. Could she do it? Her finger was on the trigger, she was slowly pulling. There was a moon and then a thud and then silence. The clock on the mantle had ticked away about five minutes, when a key turned in the lock. The young husband was back. Catching sight of her still form, he ran forward crying to her. Later a very worried looking man straightened up and cried to the God in the heavens above, Thank you God, for making her faint. —Mary Lou Seeger How come I found Marion sitting on your lap? I got here early, sir, before the others. It's always the girl that gets the kiss and the boy that gets the make-up. Owen J.: The Junior girls have the cleanest and purest minds of any girls in school. Norman D.: Why? Owen J.: Because they change them so often. James S.: Just bought a new suit with two pair of pants. Joe H.: Well, how do you like it? James S.: Fine, only it's too hot wearing two pair. - { Page 39 - EGYPT Above the palms the moon is drifting O'er the endless desert sand; And the pyramids seem souls uplifting Their prayers for an ancient land. The dreamy Nile lifts her peaceful face, Wise with visions of the years; Years of triumph and majestic grace, And years of sorrow and of tears. Egypt! the night wind whispers her name! Or is it a voice from the ages Mourning for the past splendor and fame Sacred to history's pages? —Mary Louise Noel ARE YOU ONE? Are you one of the folks who always kick, No matter what is done? Do you grumble about the cold of the winter wind And the heat of the summer sun. Do you always give up hopes And plans of your fellowmen, Do you give them advice and help Or do they find you kicking against them? Do you encourage them to keep them going Or do you tell them their plans are wrong Now think this over if you are one who is wrong And try to be the other one. —Leland Mathis SLEEPING Sleeping in a cold, cold grave, Dark and dismal as any cave, Hero in many a fray, Lies the unknown soldier today. Some mother's heart is broken Because of no glad token Of her son who lost his life, In the torn and bloody strife. One of the many with crosses at his head, He lies unidentified by the living dead; In his life he must have sighed At the empty glory for which he died. —Glade Miller John Derrick Ronald Anders DON’T GET RUSTY Do not dream—but just hustle, That's the way to make it pay, Don't sit down, for like a nail You'll simply rust away. Rusty nails and rusty people Are the same, it is found, Heads are flat, they both stand still, While the other fellows pound. —Aaron McKee Page 40 - AN OLD HOUSE It stands all alone in the hollow between two sand dunes. Once it was the center of a flourishing village; now it is just a deserted house—a thing of interest to architects and antique hunters, but no longer a necessary part of the village. It seems to be a part of the dune. The weathered shingles melt into the sand. The strong winds blowing from the bay on stormy nights have blown the bricks from the top of the chimney. Its windows, twenty-four small panes of old glass, which make a wavering image, overlook the sea. A few panes are broken by the whirling sand, tossed about by the wind. In the living room there are two great fireplaces with wooden mantels. Small cupboards with bright painted interiors open on either side of the fireplaces. The room that was once the dining room has paneled walls, painted deep cream, and a beamed ceiling. Old fashioned paper covers the walls of the dining room, and there also, the ceiling is rough beams. At the top of the narrow, straight flight of stairs leading from the immense hall, are two small bedrooms with slanting roofs and small gabled windows. The room to the west, overlooks the deep blue waters of the bay. The other has a view over the dunes to the ocean. Once, a light could be seen every night through the small window over the front door, making a path for the weary fisherman, returning after his day’s trip. But that was in the past. Now the only light around the old house is the moon shining down on the dunes. —Jean Wetherhold A STORM A black decending mass of fury, Going nowhere in a hurry; Never ceasing, ever increasing to a Deafening roar; Hurtling, tearing, thudding, swirling. Groaning, wailing, tossing, twirling, Going on just as before Only He could stop this booming, Booming on forever more. Now the clouds are rolling faster, Calling vengeance to their master; Bent on sweeping its disaster, down To nature far below. Faltering not long to parry, stop, Delay, recede, or tarry; But descending to the Prairies; Prairies seeming not to know. From each churning irate gurgling. Rain clouds from their haunts emerging; Pouring rain that is not warm. A combination everlasting, dark delusive Shadows casting Mother nature's are unmasking; Only this could be a storm. —Ralph Keimer Page 41 ► MOTHER MY SENIOR CLASSES A name so divine was given to her. And I know she deserves it quite well, She's watched by my bedside for many an hour, In our tiny gray home in the dell. She has bourne all my trouble for a good many years; She has kept up her work all the while; She's caressed me and soothed me in the midst of my tears; She has kept me from being quite vile. And when I must leave for a far 'way place, I'm sure I shall miss her o'er there; I shall long for the sight of her dear wrinkled face, And soft eyes 'neath her shining gray hair. —Geraldine Miller First in the morning comes our Science; Here we learn about every appliance. Mr. Ekstrand surely knows his stuff, And he thinks that we don't learn enough. Used as a verb, or used as a noun?” No wonder I sometimes wear a frown. But we all try to do our best, And get along fine till we have a test. History is the last study in the morning, But tests often come without a warning. This always goes hard with me, So that is why I get a C.” Last in the day I draw houses and charts; All this comes with Industrial Arts. If I work hard every week and day, I come out smiling with an A.” —Wesley Bugg CHEWING GUM Are you one of the many persons who has joined the great ranks of the accomplished gum chewers? If you are, let me extend my most sincere congratulations, for I know it takes many long hard hours of practice in order to develope the technique required for the popping of gum, blowing bubbles, and chewing of not less than five sticks of gum at one time, without looking as though you had bit off more than you could chew.” Most people who have not found this form of amusement as pleasant as some, think that to indulge in such practices you are to be considered a very vulgar person, much less a lady. I'll admit that one may not look his best when a good part of his face is in constant motion, but let me remind you that chewing gum is very healthy for your gums. It not only has a pleasant taste, but it stays with you, maybe for weeks. It is not one of those things you can chew and swallow and forget about in less than two minutes. It's lasting! Think how nice it would be if everyone in school, including the teachers, chewed gum. Think of the many hours one could spend in practice of this fine art, that would otherwise be wasted, save what you learn from the hour's discussion. Think also of the choice of flavors one could secure by merely looking under your chair. Can anyone give a good sound reason as to why we shouldn't chew gum in school or anywhere else, other than the looks of the person chewing the gum. Personally, I quite admire a person who has a good swing to his jaws. May I also add, that in one of our leading magazines it says to Chew gum for good health. That alone ought to prove the fact that society recognizes gum chewing as a good clean practice, healthful in every respect. I for one will vote unanimously to, respect all gum chewers; to not look upon them with horror, for it is a man made art, and I bow in awe of it.” —Esther Patton Page 42 } - OUR SENIOR CLASS THE MOST FAMOUS FLAG What is the most famous flag? I'll answer the question for you. I think the most famous flag Is our flag; the red, white, and blue. It has everyone's sincere devotion, Men's, women's, and children's, too. It has everyone's love in its folds; The famous red, white, and blue. Now I'll make a solemn promise, That I will always be true To the world's most famous flag; Our flag, the red, the white, and the blue. —Ada Murphy LOST I had some little doggies, With big brass collars, They were mine; now they're lost; The reward's two dollars. If you happen to see them Or hear them around, Telephone quickly And tell me they're found. They're cute little fellers, With big brass collars, They were mine; now they're lost; The reward's two dollars. —Dona McGaughey Mary Campbell Lucile Moore MATE HIGGINS 'Twas the night before sailing And all through the riggins Not a sailor was hailing; Not even mate Higgins. A man known from port to port Was the mate Higgins; Known at every bar and court, Even as far as Port Meriggins. 'Twas the night before sailing And mate Higgins was drunk; He boarded the ship and walked to the railing And fell into the water and sunk! —George Winters James Waymack We're only a small class, only sixty-two, But we have all done our best, and that is all we can do. Too soon have the four short years sped by For now we are seniors of dear old Macomb High. And now we are out in the world with the rest, To do what we can, the way we know best. We'll never turn our backs to the problems we must face For we all know that life is only a race. Although there are times when we'll be discouraged and blue We'll never forget the good times we once knew. The same old jokes we would play on every new teacher We thought they considered us just another dumb creature.'' Now the class of thirty-seven bids farewell to you all, We'll leave you our classrooms, our building, our hall, We'll leave you all we have with which to begin. We wish you all luck. We want you to win. —Irene Jack SCHOOL When 'ere I think of school My heart just seems to quit, I have to sit and take a rest. Or else just grit and grit and grit. I think school is just a jail Where kids are kept to work, While if I didn't go to school I would shirk and shirk and shirk. I have gone for twelve years now, My head is reeling so. All I hear the teachers say Is no and no and no. Ma' says I'm going to college, But that's just all she knows. Who wants to go to more ole' school And hear those blows and blows. I think I'll go and take a trip, And leave my school behind. I'll go to some large city Where I won't have to mind. Yes, that's what I'll do this very day, I'll go to some large city. I'll be my own boss all day long And learn to be quite witty. —Bob Hammond -� { Page 43 H - CLASS WILL TO THOSE WHO SURVIVE US: We, the Seniors of 1937, being in sane minds, hereby make known our last and final wishes regarding the distribution of our accumulations.

This beauty may be only physical beauty, or as the saying goes, only skin deep. A really beautiful woman must have more than mere physical beauty, important though that is. A good personality is one of the most vital factors that make a beautiful woman. Personality is the fruit of many years of toil and hard labor in developing it. Some people may think they have a good personality, and they may have, but a good personality more often belongs to a person who is wholly unaware of the fact. Another factor is a good character. No matter what you do, your character shines through. Everything that you do reflects your character either favorably or unfavorably. Character is the basis upon which one's whole life is laid and from the time of birth it is developed in one way or another. Everyone has a character, whether it is good or bad or strong or weak and it is his responsibility to develop it in the proper way. Charm is also an essential factor to a beautiful woman. A charming woman is attractive, fascinating, and pleasing. She has the power to cause admiration or give delight. There may be two kinds of charm—false or affected charm and sincere charm. A person may be too charming to your face and just the opposite behind your back. A beautiful woman must have poise. Poise is the manner of carrying the head and body in such a way as to cause admiration and make a good impression on the observer. - { Page 45 Tact is another important factor in the make-up of a beautiful woman. A tactful person has a sympathetic understanding and skill in saying and doing exactly what is best or most suitable in given circumstances. Many women consider themselves beautiful, but the beauty is only skin deep. They do not possess the many qualities of a beautiful woman. Their beauty is only physical and not the beauty of a beautiful soul shining” through. There are few really beautiful women even though there are always beauty contests and winners. When a woman leaves a beauty shop with her hair freshly done in an attractive style and her nails manicured, she usually presents a very pleasing picture. She may be considered very beautiful by those who do not know her, but perhaps if they knew her they would change their opinion of her. So if one is to be really beautiful, she must acquire a beautiful soul and good habits. Beauties are made, not born. —Edna Eeighty GHOSTS OF YESTERDAY Of course, we of this modern age regard the stories of ghosts with a smile. Yet, underneath our apparent scorn, is a decided respect for those ghosts of yesterday. A ghost who can successfully scare people half to death,” or make shivers run up and down one's spine, certainly deserves some credit. So, to these ghosts of yesterday, I pledge my toast. Ghosts are only humans who have passed to the great beyond, with a desire, either good or bad, to return to their former living place and haunt any intruders. There are good ghosts and bad ghosts; nervous ghosts and calm ghosts, in fact, one can find any type of ghost one wishes—if one looks in the right place. Take for instance the gay and flippant ghost. All one has to do to see such a member of the ghost family is to wait around in the graveyard some moonlight night, and soon one's desire will be fulfilled. Or, perhaps, if one is ghost conscious, one can find many members of this gay band at a party, dancing gayly with the ghosts of tomorrow. Then, there is the moody, unhappy ghost, who returns to this world only to have a place to be downcast and gloomy, without being disturbed. You can find such a specimen on a dark, rainy night, huddled up against a tombstone, buried deep in thought, and lamenting softly. Then again, there is the morbid ghost who wants to frighten people, just to be doing something. His favorite hang-out is a nice comfortable deserted house. When anyone comes, it is he who starts the chairs rocking, and pulls the doors open. Then, there is his cousin, who when living was insane, and who is now in partnership with Mr. Morbid Ghost. He likes to utter shrill and horrible screams, which naturally always add to the enjoyment of visiting a house where he resides. The home ghost is much different from his relatives. He likes to live in his former home, and try to keep living persons out of it. Usually he succeeds. It is he who creeps up the stairs behind the unsuspecting inhabitant, and makes him fall down the steps. He also is guilty of making the stairs creak in the middle of the night, and of tapping gently on the windows. Another member of this unusual family is brother Nervous Ghost.” He is never satisfied. He is continually pacing up and down between the graves, or walking slowly up and down the streets on dark windy nights. He cries mournfully with the wind as it shrieks its way through the tree tops, and laughs fiendishly when disaster takes its toll. Naturally, we don't believe in ghosts, but still, to the ghost of yesterday, we, the ghosts of tomorrow, owe a pledge of loyalty till the day when we, too, will be numbered among the ghosts of yesterday. —Florence Crowe Page 46 } ► “STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM” This disease affects most everyone but in widely differed forms and in far reaching places. It has never, as far as I know, been defined or remedied. It is as mysterious and elusive as Puck and the fairies, and it refuses to be diagnosed as most all ailments have been. Its symptoms are neither easily defined, nor easily discovered. They are as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. One form of this disease is evidenced by being dreamy-eyed, absent-minded, and by a complete loss of appetite. It sounds serious, doesn't it? Well it's not, because this state of affairs is nothing more nor less than puppy love, usually suffered by young Romeos and Juliets of high-school age. These victims of Dan Cupid go around in a daze, having delightful day dreams about Mary, or Susie, or Johnnie or Bill. Another form of this malady is displayed by an un-checkable desire for scrubbing and cleaning and tearing the house apart. Johnnie is sent out to beat the rugs. Susie is set to washing windows and dad, poor man, is ordered, not asked, to dig up with some cash. It's always papa who pays, so he says. During this time, life at home is a veritable whirlwind, with everything topsy-turvy. Even the dog, poor mutt, stays well out of the way. He knows all too well what evils will befall him if he stays around the house when his mistress gets this most dreaded of all maladies. Then too some people have acute cases of anger, melancholitis, or an urge to dig, anywhere and anything. The first of these is the most troublesome as it is often visited on some innocent person when the victim of this sickness is struck by the urge to attack verbally or physically whatever or whoever invokes his wrath. The second type of this series is not so dangerous but definitely depressing. The victim of this becomes sick of life and its affairs. He sinks into a hopeless lethargy and consoles himself because the world is against him and he is a poor lonely creature beset from every side by evil. The third and last type of this series is a most pleasant case. The victim, rushes out to dig, and plant, and hoe. He gets miserably dirty but this is made up for, in the pleasure of watching plants come up and all nature come to life again. The happy victim of this type of the disease, is usually filled with an exhuberance full and running over. He is so thrilled with it that he tells anyone, no matter how unwilling he may be, of his hopes and his plans, for his garden and yard. This type is called naturitis. Of which of these maladies do you suffer? From which do you prefer to suffer? Any of them? Of course you are the victim of one of these types because we all are. What's that you say? Why, I nearly forgot to tell you. It's spring fever, of course. —James Kaufman SCHOOL DAYS R-r-r-ring, r-r-ring. Seven o'clock and my alarm clock dances merrily upon the table. With groping hand I shut it off. Five minutes later a hand roughly strokes me. Bill! A voice vainly tries to pierce my foggy brain. Bill, it's seven o'clock. Time to get up. Ummmmm huh, in a minute, I mumble. Ho-hum, another day. With half-shut eyes and rubber legs I flounder to the bathroom, happily splash cold water on my face. Gradually I awaken and commence to dress. -«►{ Page 47 ) - Bill, you'll have to hurry, you've only fifteen minutes. Gulping down the last of my breakfast I scamper out of the door and begin my daily sprint to school. Today I do better. I get there three minutes before the bell instead of the usual one. I feel mischievous today, or should I say I just feel good. Either way it makes no difference, Mr. Ekstrand doesn't appreciate it and I am called down several times for various things. 9:15 and all's well. I recover my good spirits in Miss Morris' journalism class. She has been baking again and we sample her wares. 1 have five cookies. Ah, if only every class were like that so I could relax (and eat)! 10:30,— only seventy minutes till dinner. Bouyed up by this thought I march merrily into history class. Today I feel like studying and for a full fifteen minutes I do my best to win the Spanish-American War. Then my ambition dies. Ansel, in front of the desk, is half asleep. I decide to wake him up with a well-placed paper wad. You (ug, ah), come in (gag, splutter), after school, chokes Mr. McDill. Gosh, could I help it. I missed Ansel and Mr. McDill was yawning. One o'clock, a good meal under my belt and I am once more sitting on top of the world. But not for long. I do not see Miss Carrison come in the library and I am invited to come into the home ec. room at 3:30. Perhaps she wants me to sample her cooking, too. No, I guess I'm wrong. S'funny, she couldn't understand why I was standing on a chair throwing a wastebasket at Johnny. Some gueer people in this school. Wearily I slouch into English. For some unknown reason we are going to have a test on some crazy things called verbals. Disconsolate, I drop into my chair. Su-denly I straighten up. What is she saying. No test? She left the questions at home? Immediately I brighten up and enjoy myself till the end of the period by untying Wendell's shoe laces several times. Five o'clock and I trudge merrily home. I have held my rendevous in Rooms 17 and 10 and have already forgotten them. Ten o'clock and all's well again. I slowly climb the stairs to my room. In bed I recall the incidents of the day. Ho-hummm, only nine months till Christmas. —Bill O'Neil “A Plea for Little Brothers’’ Dees it not seem extraordinary when I say that kid brothers are not always wrong? However, that is just what I mean. They are not three-fourths as bad as they are painted. All of this talk about “he's always getting into my make-up kit, or Mom, he embarrasses me when I have company, is sometimes uncalled for. Big sisters sometimes should be the ones chastized. Do you not suppose that hundreds of little brothers feel the same way toward their older sisters? (I have joined the ranks of big sisters, so therefore I write from experience.) Put ourselves in their place. Were we not mischievous at their age? Hardly one of us can say truthfully that we were not. And are not our little brothers sometimes a big help to us? Again, we must say yes. Brothers are not ones to spend their money as foolishly as big sisters. Therefore, who is it that always has some money saved, hidden away in a little bank where he thinks it will be safe? When big sister goes to mother and says, But all I need is fifteen cents, and it was so pretty. All different colors of puffs and a small box of -of Page 48 } - powder right in the center. And then when mother says, But I tell you I have no change, there's nothing left to resort to (dad isn't home) but to go put your arms around brother and say, You have some money, don't you d-e-a-r?(note the endearing term). Brother goes to his little bank and gives sister the fifteen cens. He doesn't usually complain either (when asked in such a nice way). Now come, sisters, be honest, would we be so good-natured about it? That is only one of the things for which our brothers come in handy. (Has anyone so far gotten to the point where he would like to know just what I mean by taking little brother's part, and thinking how dare I talk about their being not altogether right in their ideas of brothers?) I've said that money problems weren't the only thing, so let's look into some of these other things. Tattling! Can we blame him for wanting to make a little—to use the slang expression— hush money? (Remember, if he didn't have the money we could not borrow to buy some of our pretty luxuries.) Have we thought about his knowing lots of little things about us that would be well for mother or dad not to know. Take a note for instance. This note was either to a girl friend talking about your best boy friend, or directly to your boy friend. Brother finds it, owing to your own carelessness, and, if he is old enough to read, will in all probability read it. We expect him to tell everyone within hearing range about it, but with persuasion, we get him to forget about it. Would not we want to tell everyone, too? After all, the note should have been properly placed or else delivered. I shall not go further in mentioning good things about little brothers. By now many of the big sisters are probably tired of reading the good in their brothers whom they thought nuisances. Have any opinions been changed? —Patricia Heidemann ‘ MY KID COUSIN” It hardly seems plausible now when I look back to the time when I used to think how much fun it would be to mind my kid cousin, Jimmie, while his parents were out. Although I can hardly believe it, it is true. At least I learned one thing by my experience, and that is, experience is the best teacher. What a let-down! But now I am getting ahead of myself. I suppose you think it would be great fun to spend an evening with my cousin, Jimmie, because he is such a cute little fellow, and because he has such lovely dark eyes and curly hair. His sweet face has a most delightful angelic expression. Oh, yes, very angelic! But that again reminds me of the old axiom, beauty is skin deep. Jimmie has beautiful colored story books, and you would perhaps think it nice to read him some stories before bedtime. Even though you are ashamed to admit it, you do like the pictures. Besides, think what one could do with an extra half dollar. Well, dear readers, I, too, was just that ignorant once. Let me tell you that you are in for a good dose of disillusionment, if there is another five-year-old like my kid cousin, Jimmie. For about an hour we got along very nicely, too nicely as I soon found out. Jimmie was playing with his toys and I had just gotten interested in the best story, when suddenly Jimmie gave a scream and a yell and landed right in my chair. Come on, Susy, let's play Indian! -« ( Page 49 ’’Oh no, dear,” I said soothingly, Mother's bringing company home, and we musn't tear up the house.” I had no sooner uttered the words when Jimmie sat down on the floor and began his barrage. “I wanna play Indian, I wanna play Indian. Dad plays Indian with me, and so does nurse.” It was then he happened to remember that his nurse was gone, and that I was her substitute. I want Nannie, where's Nannie! he whined. Nannie was the nurse and why did she pick that night for her night off? Let's play train, Jimmie. Would you like that?” I asked. ’’Noooo, I wanna play Indian. You be the horsie, and I'll be the Indian,” was the inevitable reply. ’’But Jimmie, it's only a little while until bedtime. Let me read you a nice story.” He suddenly stopped his vocal exercise, and I thought I had at last succeeded. As I went to the shelf to pick out a book, Jimmie dashed madly upstairs. Before I could catch him he was back with a whole armfull of old, dusty, dog-eared funny papers, which he insisted that I read. I had already read them, but I cheerfully started them again. Every time we came to Popeye or Mickey Mouse I had to read them over about five times at the least. But bedtime!! Jimmie insisted on staying up. He was thirsty, then he was hungry, and then he decided he wanted to hear one more story about Popeye. When I finally got him upstairs he again began his serenade. I don't wanna go to bed, I want Mamma, etc., etc.” When he finally went to sleep I was so worn out I couldn't even read my story. Every page seemed to have a picture of Popeye on it. I don't think Jimmie is really such a brat.” But one never can tell. Maybe they are all that way, or maybe Jimmie just thought he'd have some fun. But how did he know I was a beginner at a nursemaids' job? Well, one never knows, does one? —Helen Louise Snyder THE FATE OF THE CAPTAIN OF “CLARA BELLE’’ The Clara Belle was ready to sail, The sails were flung from the mast; The captain shouted the orders; And they were off at last. When only out to sea a day A strong wind began to blow It blew the captain off the deck And into the sea. Oh! Woe! A shark came Tong and spied the cap’n And quickly away with him made. All in vain did the crew, the captain pursue; For in the shark's stomach he laid. —Georgia Ann Stookey Margaret Norman Doris Walker Page 50 } - • Artists and Makers of Fine Printing Plates for Black or Color The Largest College Annual Designers and Engravers in America . . .
