gmirmnriez By Alice Lockette You Seniors, Who are leaving us, To travel down Lifets lane, Will you ever forget the friends you left, Will you ever forget dear Maine? When your troubles seem to burden you, When all seems cloud and rain, Will you then remember the friends you left, Will you then remember Maine? Or, if your life may gleam with light, And if you win great fame, Do you think youtll remember the friends you left, Do you think youtll remember Maine? Oh, to you who are leaving, this I would say, ttBe your life filled With loss or gain, Dontt ever forget the friends you left, And always remember Maine? MAINE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ?Bhimiinn With sincerity and gratitude, we, the class of 1922, wish to dedicate this third edition of the Maine Quill to Miss Lewerenz and Mr. Ans- paugh. To Miss Lewerenz because she has been our sponsor for three years, because she has willingly given her time and efforts to all of our undertakings and because she has been our friend and helper during our four years at Maine; to Mr. Anspaugh because, though a newcomer to Maine, he has made himself in- dispensable to the school and because he has been our aid and guide in the preparation of this book. in Mp: ?nhlit To the Public this book will be a revelation of tllrlle work and play of the pupils of Maine Hig . To the Class of 1922 it will in future years bring back many pleasant memories of the four years spent at Maine. As the members of the staff look through its pages'they will be reminded of the hearty co- operation and loyal helpfulness given in its construction not only by their classmates, but also by the entire student body and by the teachers of Maine.

Should you ask me whence these stories, Whence these memories, recollections, With the stories from the classrooms, With the fun and sports from gym, With much giggling from the girls, With the mighty laugh of boys, With their frequent repetitions, With their gay reverberations 7, I should answer, I should tell you, From the library and the halls, From the games of basketball, From the village of Park Ridge, From the hamlet of Des Plaines, From the busses, trains and autos, Where the students, one and all, Spend their time and all their money. I repeat them as IIve seen them In my four years here at Maine. Should you ask how I remember All these stories so correctly, All these memories and traditions, I should answer, I should tell you, From the classbooks of the girls, From the treasured ttQuillsiy of Maine, Dear with memories to 'us all. When as freshmen lone we came, Came to study and to learn, Came to try and show we knew What the sophomore thought he knew, What the junior wished he knew, What the senior knew he knew, We were young and soon impressed With the much we didn't know. Hard we tried to master history, Hard we studied oler the ancients, Hard we worked with algebra, With Miss Barnes at hand to help. Thus we grew, fast and faster, Grew in knowledge and in Wisdom, Grew in all the joys of Maine, Stood the trials of being freshmen, Learned to paddle our own canOes. Paddling briskly into sophomores, Soon did glide this class of ours, Skilled in all the craft of whispering, Learned in all the lore of Hleavef In all youthful sports and pastimes, In all student arts and labors. Bright in geometry were we sophOe mores, Bright and shining lights were we, Problems noted neat in notebooks, With not an ttN on any test. Brighter still we shone in botany, Knew the trees each by its name, Knew the flowers and their homes; Knew the woods and roads so well That MISS Cassidy could not beat us When it came to walking home. Thus we sophomores grew in know- ledge, Grew as we had grown before, Grew until we all became tWith much nonsense and great funl Juniors in the year i21. Much the juniors did accomplish, Much we tried and overcame; Hard we studied in the classroom, Hard we minnowedII in the tank, Harder yet upon the field, And it was not all in vain When we were our MIslI for Maine. We were artists were we juniors. Proved it too, in work at school, Proved it in our sport outside, Proved it best, we thought ourselves, When in decorating gym. When from river and from roadside, We gathered the bright branches And with streamers of crepe paper Gave much color to the dances. Too we studied physics- Studied with the aim to learn, Studied hard and I remember How the worry made eyes weary, Made the girls wear colored glasses, Made Mr. Stone very anxious IBout the windows of our brains. So we juniors ever striving Reached the senior goal at last. Out of childhood, into manhood Now had grown this class I22, Soon to leave dear Maine forever Soon to go and come no more. So our last year Made we our best year, The best year of our life at Maine. Well we did in chemistry, In the lab and with our book We were sure of H 20 And also what H 20 was 4. tContinued on page 61J Maine Quill r Page 21 ?s'n-Ku- Maine Quill ROBERT HARRIDGE, Bob A fellow never knOWS what he can do until he tries.

Maine Quill Page 31 Senior Class History By Marian Mann. ltFreshmanTi All the upper classmen smiled. They were well acquainted With this species of humanity. Anticipation shone in the eyes of the students of Maine, for the entrance of a new class was always an occasion of great joy. There was a surprise in store for them, however, in this year of 1918. In September of the above mentioned year the Freshman Class proved to be not quite so green, not quite so easily annoy- ed, not quite so quiet as the pre- vious classes. This was a dread- ful deficiency everyone agreed. But although the class lacked these things it quite made up for them in the possession of that very necessary virtue of a good Freshman Class, freshness. Oh, yes! we possessed that to a marked degree. Did the Freshmen of 1918 turn out for the Freshman welcome? Certainly, and everyone said that that party had pep. Did this same class of Freshmen have ath- letic teams? Surely! Oh, per- haps none of the teams were champions, but that could hardly be expected even from such a class. Remember the t r a c k meet? At that time the wagon which the class had hitched to a star, at the very beginning of the year, began to gather speed. The class distinguished itself. A great deal of credit for this is due to the high scores of Katherine Pitt and George Holbrook. As Sophomores the class con- tinued to display ginger and pep in all activities anful and oth- erwisel. Who would dare to say that the Sopohomore Valentine Dance was not the equal of any party ever given at Maine? Didnit the gym look itperfectly adorableil to quote the eifusive young things of the school? W a s n i t the orchestra fine? Weren,t all the girls pretty and all the boys handsome? What more could be desired of any par- t ? In athletics the class improved and during the inter-class games held its own, at least. It sup- plied Imig, Norse and Gillick to football and most of the fellows went out for practice on the sec- ond team. Miss Lewerenz and Mr. Gors- line were our class sponsors for the year. The class officers were: John Norse. . . . . . . . . .President Irving Gillick.. . . .Vice President Marjorie Smith ....... Secretary Eugene Sieber ........ Treasurer Under the direction of these well known and worthy students how could the class do other than prosper? It couldnlt'and didnlt. As Juniors did we allow that wagon which was hitched so high, to stall? I wonit answer the question. You consider the re- sult. Football gratefully received from our ranks Bergman, Imig, Granlund, Klintz, Wakefield, Gill and Norse. The boys played and the girls went as rooters, just an- other indication of school spirit. Sieber upheld the class reputation very ably in basketball. Studies were of course well kept up by talmostl all members of the class, but that didnit keep everyone from having a lot of fun and putting on a jolly mas- querade. What roars of laughter greeted those clown entertainers! What chills trembled down a hundred backbones at the un- earthly ghost stories! Each guest has some pleasant memory of Page 32 Maine Quill that evening. Entertainment was provided for those who did not care to dance. The fortune teller in the hall with the magic potions in small pill bottles amazed one and all. By merely stepping into the physics room for a moment you were greatly shocked, elec- trically, of course. The boys found amusement in puncturing the darling toy balloons that floated about the gym. If any young lady had hopes of saving her baloon for her much cherish- ed class book that hope was shattered before the evening was over. Oh, what treacherous points those pins did have! Our class sponsors for this year were Miss Lewerenz and Mr. Fisher. Our class officers were: Henry Berquist ........ President Ethel Woody ..... Vice President Evelyn Meyer ........ Secretary Raymond Imig ....... Treasurer If you know the people I donlt have to say that their duties were well performed. When the class of 1921 grad- uated the decoration of the as- sembly was left to the Juniors. Committees were appointed and I believe that the decorations for all the nights of commencement week were entirely satisfactory. Oh, of course, we all admired the Seniors, but we rejoiced that we did not have to leave the genial surroundings and the good times that we were having at Maine tin spite of tribulations, many and variousl. V When September, 1921, came at last, after a gay vacation, we returned for the fourth and last time to Maine to proceed further along the paths of knowledge. We started the year right by electing for officers the following members of our class: Robert Harridge ...... President Ethel Woody. . . . .Vice President Marjorie Smith ....... Secretary Eugene Sieber. . . . . . . .Treasurer We certainly can be proud of our athletic record. On the foot- ball team the members of our class who found places were: Imig Bergman Tyler Granlund Wakefield Werner Klintz Norse Gillick Gill And the basketball team! Do you remember the playing of these players? Sieber, Harridge, Imig, Klintz, Simon, Granlund, Bergman? Well, theyrle Seniors. Baseball this year is still in the future, but judging from the en- thusiasm of the players that fu- ture will be very bright! Every passing day now brings us nearer graduation. The thought brings different feelings to different minds and also I be- lieve varies according to the events of the day, but I believe always there is at least a small feeling of regret that the happy days at Maine are almost over. We may not have accomplished quite all we so hopefully expected to, as a class, but I will say that we are not ashamed of our rec- ord. It could have been better. It could have been worse. Such as it is, its ours. If the rising classes of Maine try hard they may equal it. EXAMS By Betty Backes The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year; Of nightly crams and hard exams and classes sad and drear. We face exams in everything; the prospect saddens us, But when we think of studyingeit really maddens us! ttSemester testesemester testl' is all we hear in class, And so we cram each weary night, and hope and hope we'll pass. Maine Quill Page 33 The Re-Incamatz'on of a Pair of Galoshes By Mary Smock. Since approximately the year 1800 galoshes had been worn. They were put to hard use. They kept the icy snows from large flat feet, from small dainty feet, and from ordinary feet, such as most of us have. The soles were of heavy rubber, guaranteed to turn all water. The sides were of heavy material that it would have taken hoursto soak through. The buckles were strong and held the sides 0f the galoshes up snug against each ankle, however large or small. It was especially in the country that they were worn, and they were considered as much of a vital protection as a lap robe was on a long, cold ride. Mrs. Gilroy had worn them all through her youth. True, they were somewhat awkward, but then her mother had instilled in her the reasoning which leads to a safe, healthy journey through life rather than a more fashionable, risky one. Her motheris old fashioned ideas were forever embarrassing Elizabeth Gilroy, especially now that they had moved to a fashion- able district in a big city. Her particular aversion was to the ga- loshes, which her mother favored. Now every one knows that at this time galoshes were seen only on some particular hickd just in from the country. Elizabeth certainly didnt want to be thought a hick. She was just established in a congenial group of friends and she knew that if she appeared thus attired it would cause great amusement. She had only lived in the city seven months and every one, Elizabeth included, knew with what critical eyes a newcomer was watched, so at the first breath of snow, when her mother hauled out her galoshes she was decidedly perplexed. How to be obedient to her mother and still escape the scornful eyes of the fashionable set, that was the question. If there were only something she could do to make them look more graceful, more unique, less utilitarian. It is as hard to find a plan to make an obnoxious thing fashionable as it is toe-well, to write a short story. Elizabeth had a very hard time. She poked the awkward things out in one place and pulled them in in another. They couldnit be changed much and it took an imagina- tive mind to decide that, flapping open, they were any better to view than closed tight, for that was the way that the discouraged Eliza- beth finally left them. Now it happened that Elizabeth had a cousin in Paris studying designing and Elizabeth had often quoted her cousin as saying that such and such a thing was the rage in Paris. The girls had seemed willing enough to accept it, and had often asked for advice. Why not blame the galoshes on the cousin? Elizabeth could quote her as saying that they were the latest thing. It might not get by, but at least she could have a try at it. The next morning she donned her galoshes and fared forth. On her way to school she met several of her friends and she became quite loquacious in praise of the ga- loshes. It was quite a different matter for Elizabeth to wear them with such a boastful air instead of being embarrassed or humbled by them; so they were accepted in silence. At the end of two days Elizabeth had caught the habit of laugh- ing to herself and finally, cornered by her mother, she was forced to confess the joke. Elizabeth told her mother all her qualms at wearing the ungainly galoshes, and her solution of the problem. Page 34 ' Maine Quill The ridiculous postscript was that on the second day two girls ap- peared with their feet swathed identically as were Elizabethis; on the third day three more appeared; and on the fifth day all the so- called fashionable set had galoshes. The copy-cats had made Eliza- bethis trial fashionable. The postscript that Elizabeth did not know what that the fad would spread from her town to others. Only the past year has told that it did spread from town to town as whooping cough, measles, or the puff style of hair dress did. Thus it happened that a de- spised pair of ungainly galoshes was reincarnated into ultra fashion- able footwear. T HE HORRID LITTLE MOUSE By Betty Backes. 'iOh! Oh 1! Oh ! V shieked a feminine voice, in a rapid crescendo, iiPatsyetake it away! Take it away! ttKitty, what on earth is the matter? I asked, rushing into the cottage. I donit know what I expected to see; certainly anything but what I did see. Kitty was standing on a chair, lifting her short skirts even higher, her face screwed up in a combination of fear and disgust. itOw! Ow! Ow! It,s coming closer! Chase it away! iiChase what away? I inquired. Kitty replied shudderingly, iiThat horrid little m-m-mousef, pointing to a tiny mouse, which, frightened by her screams, remained motionless in the middle of the floor. What would you do in such a case? Um-hm, I did the same thingel laughed. Then I took a step toward the mouse, which scam- pered away. Kitty got down from the chair, remarking plaintively, III don't see why you laughed! Just because you,re not afraid of a mouse, Patsy 0,001111811, is no reason for laughing at me because I am. Why, even an elephant is afraid of a mouse. You aren,t comparing yourself to a elephant, I hope. I should think that a kitten would be more your size. iiOh, you know what I meant, silly? she retorted. ttWhat do we need from towniw Here,s the list, and-a-donw forget to ask for the mail? ttAll righty, but I hardly think that Jack has written so soon. Maine Quill Page 35 tI wasntt expecting a letter from Jack, I answered with dignity, ubut I thought that perhaps dad had written. Kitty said nothing; but she grinned in a way which plainly said Tell that to the marinesV Just because Jack Forrest had taken me to dances and had come down to the train to see me off when Kitty and I left for camp, is no reason why she should insinuate thateer- well, what she did insinuate. Kitty and I were chums; we worked in the same office, and we were spending our two weeks vacation to- gether at a girls camp. - In due time Kitty returned, but she was not alone. She was 11mping and she was accompanied by an extremely sunburned young man.d I hurried to meet her and asked anxiously what had hap- pene . ttNothing much, replied Kitty. I stepped on a stone and turned my ankle, and Mr. Morton, indicating the young man, ttwho was walking just behind me, offered to help me to the cottage. He Is staying at the camp a mile east of us. Mr. Morton soon left, but not before he had invited Kitty to go Iishing with him the next day. And Kittyewho, when she goes fishing immediately puts any fish she accidentally catches back in the water, and has always said that she hated fishingeKitty ac- cepted. A week passed, and every day Kitty went hiking or fishing or canoeing with Mr. Morton, whom she soon called Jim. Her excuse for this was: ttYou see, Patsy, his cousin and I used to go to school together and that nearly makes Jim and me old friends? ttOh, yes, I see perfectly? I said in gentle sarcasm, which she either did not notice or chose to ignore. . One day when Kitty and Jim had gone hiking, I also started for a hike through the nearby woods. I was accompanied by Jack, who had come out to spend the afternoon. As we came out of the woods into a little clearing we heard a shriek and looking up, saw Kitty and Jim across the clearing. ttOooooo! A snake W and Kitty clutched Jimts arm. The next instantebut Jack and I turned and walked away. As Jack remarked, There are times when twots company and fourts a whole convention. . That night after the boys had gone and Kitty and I were idly chatting she blushingly told me that she was engaged, Which was a wholly unnecessary piece of information, since I am not blind. tTll tell you, Patsy? cried Kitty, ttleUs have a double wedding. Humph! Dontt go so fastel'm not even engaged yet? You could be, if youtd only help Jack out a bit? declared my chum. That started a train of thought and the resultejudge for your- self. The next time Jack came Kitty and Jim had gone off somewhere together, as usual. It was the last day of our stay in camp, and I had just finished packing when Jack arrived. We started on a last hike, but as we crossed the living room I screamed, clutched Jack, and clung tightly. And heewell, he-erehe reciprocated. Then several moments later he asked, ttVVhat made you scream, darling? And I answered unblushingly, ttA horrid little mouse? I added something under my breath that might have been ttBless its heart.

Page 46 Junior Class History By an Ardent Admirer of the Junior Class. This has been an eventful year, that is, in respect to the Junior class. From September sixth to June sixteenth the Junior class has stood conspicuously in the foreground because of the vast wonders it has performed. I do not intend to say that the Juniors have the most original, most talented class in the school, because that is evident to anyone Who comes in contact with them, and besides, were you to talk to any of Maineis worthy teachers, for even the short time of five minutes, you would hear them tell, in words of praise, of some brave exploit or brilliant enter- prise carried out by the Juniors. Class spirit is one of the main characteristics of the Junior class. The Juniors, because of their 10y- alty to Maine, purchased a Red Cross Christmas bond and put forth their personal effort in or- der that Maine might win in the inter-scholastic Red Cross Seal contest. The Junior boys secured the basketball championship for 1922 and the Junior girls secured the basketball and volleyball cham- pionships again this year. What class has two such ex- pert cheer leaders as Conrad Ruoss and William Verity? What other class has so many piano experts? What other class has made such brilliant records at the inter- class meets? In fact, the Juniors have a very talented class. Junior skill in mathematics is shown by the way in which an unlimited number of them make themselves comfort- able in the first bus for home. Near the beginning of this year the Juniors organized their class as follows: Charles Christopher. . .President Ethel Bell ........ Vice President Helen Dean .......... Secretary Arthur Kaufman.. . . . .Treasurer Maine Quill Miss Fitch and Mr. Fisher. .. . ................... Sponsors Stella Wuerffel, a Junior girl, captured the prize offered for the best speech on tiGood English at Maine. Several Junior girls have at- tempted to fall down stairs at Maine, in this way showing their ability in athletics. I have placed the Junior year . at the beginning of the class his- tory because the class, as a whole has accomplished more this year than it accomplished in the other two years. As Freshmen they elected the following class ofIicers: George Hoffman ...... President Jessie Purves.. . . .Vice President Frederick Webster .......... ...... Secretary and Treasurer Mrs. McLean and Mr. Hoefiiin ................... Sponsors When Freshmen, they were not only taught itExperientia docet through Miss Lewerenz, but found its truth after staying sev- eral 40 minutesesf or reporting to Miss Fitch for misconduct in the library, or perhaps even go- ing so far as to cause Miss Gray extra work, that is, typing a let- ter to well, you, perhaps, know whom I mean. As Sophomores they selected the following class oiiicers: Caryl Parsons ........ President Jane Ehrlinger. . .Vice President Loren Bollinger ....... Secretary Jessie Purves ........ Treasurer Miss Murdoch and Miss Ron- ning ............... Sponsors Dorothy Hapeman ............. ........... Sophomore Editor On February nineteenth of the Sophomore year they gave the ttSophomore Hearty Party? The Sophomore boys held the boys inter-class basketball cham- pionship and the Sophomore girls also held the girls inter-class bas- ketball and volleyball champion- ships. May this simple account be an inspiration to the class of 24 to follow our example. Frances Kraft. Maine Quill The Red Clown By Margaret Judson. HHey, Harry, did you get an invitation to the Freshman Masque Ball? called Buddy Wilson as he encountered his friend in the as- sembly room. Yes, did you? returned Harry Blake, uand are you going? ttWhy, yes, Ilm going as a red clown, Harry. itWhat did you tell me for? Now Iill know you when I see you Friday night. Whats this I hear about red clown suits?l, asked Arthur Carl- son, joining the two boys. Neither of them liked Arthur, although they had no reason for disliking him, except that he seemed to be a little too interested in other peoples affairs. tTm expecting to wear one, replied Buddy. ttWhat will you wear? Illl tell you Friday night? said Arthur, and as the bell rang the boys went to their classes. Buddy chuckled to himself. That,s the time I fooled them, he thought. iiThey,ll be straining their eyes looking for me all dolled up in a red clown suit, while Illl be flitting around in my sisters clothes. Just then the English teacher asked him who wrote ttThe Translation of the Consolations of Philosophyfl and he immediately forgot all about his clever scheme. Friday night came at last. Buddy hardly recognized himself as he stood before the mirror in hisroom. He had borrowed his motherts switch and his sisters best outfit. His sister didnlt know this, however. Gosh, she,ll be mad? thought Buddy, ubut shels been wearing my sweater to school all the time. He looked himself over again and was well satisfied with his appearance until his eyes fell upon his shoes, which he had to admit did not look like girls shoes. His feet were a trifle large for his sisters slip- pers, but then she had a pair of those funny looking things that she called galoshes. After a little difficulty he got them on and started for the party. He chuckled with glee to find that not even Harry, his chum, could recognize him. All went well until Buddy noticed- that something was wrong with his feet. They seemed to be much too big for the galoshes, and they hurt like fury. He took both ga- loshes off to give his feet a rest, but when he tried to put them on againait couldnlt be done. Picking up the galoshes, he left the par- ty at its height. He went upstairs to bed as soon as he reached home, vowing that no one should know the story of the galoshes if he could help it. Then a happy thought struck him; he remembered that he had told the boys that he would come as a red clown, and strange to say, he had seen some one at the party dressed in that costume. He would be that person, and no one would know the difference. Monday morning came and he reached school early. The first thing he noticed was that everyone was looking at him strangely. . Was his face dirty, or had he forgotten to wash his ears? Then he reasoned that no one would stare at him on that account and decided that something was wrong with the rest of them, not with him. Dur- ing the second period he was called to the oiiice. The principal looked very stern. Since Buddy was used to this, it did not bother him to any great extent. Page 48 A Maine Quill Did you wear a red clown suit Friday night at the Freshman ball? questioned the principal. Yes, sir, I didX, lied Buddy easily. iiDo you know that Mr. Harmon was robbed in front of the school house Friday night by a person wearing a red clown suit? Buddy looked the principal in the eye and said angrily, Do you mean to say that I did it? Say, I went home before the thing was half over. And I didnit wear a red clown suit either, why I-e tiJust a minute, said the principal. HThursday morning you told Arthur Carlson that you were going to wear a red clown suit, and you yourself have just admitted that you wore one. HAnd Arthur told you and everyone else did he? I wouldnit be surprised if-J iiYou may go back to your class now and as a man is innocent until proven guilty, you will be allowed to remain in school until the trial comes up. We will have a jury composed of twelve pupils and if evidence proves you guilty, you will be expelled from school? Buddy left the room without a word. Why just think, he was accused of being a thiefsa thief! It took a lot of courage for him to stay at school when almost everyone in the whole building was look- ing at him with suspicion and distrust. Harry had heard the story of the galoshes and believed it, for which Buddy was very glad. On the Wednesday following, the trial took place. Buddy had gotten his nerve back again. If they would only believe the story of the galoshesshis thoughts were interrupted by the principals voice, proclaiming that the trial would begin at once. Arthur Carlson was the first witness. He told his story in such a convincing manner that Buddy saw it would go very hard with him. Mr. Harmon was the next witness. He merely stated that he had been robbed by a red clown about the size of Buddy Wilson. Buddy had just about given up hope when Harry rushed in, holding in his hand a small pocketknife, saying, HI found this knife right where Mr. Harmon was robbed. It was snowing at the time of the rob- bery and the knife, dropped by the thief, was buried in the snow. When the snow melted the knife came to light. Arthur Carlson, will you come up and read the initials on this knife? But Arthur Carlson was goneehe had left the room at the first mention of the knife. No wonder, for the knife was clearly en- graved itA. C. Many of the pupils had seen Arthur using the knife and were sure it was his. Buddy, who was so happy that he could scarcely talk, was finally permitted to tell his story of the galoshes. He ended by saying that he was so happy that he would be willing to dance a jig in his sister 5 galoshes. Seven Mystic Ships By Frances Schlagel. Seven ships came into harbor, From the distant, mystic lands, And in small and open vessels, Came strange men upon the sands. Maine Quill L Page 49 Shining vessels stood at anchor Stood the vessels of these mene With their sails of brighest silver And the cabins like a den. All night long they kept their Vigil, Watched like guards, yea every ship! When Aurora showed her colors Came a prayer from every lip. For the morning brought the safety Of the seven mystic boats And again with little vessels To the shore the cargo fioats. Now upon the sea-washed pebbles Treasures from the ships were laid. Gems of rubies, and of onyx, Strings of pearls, and chains of jade. Perfumes of the sweetest fragrance, Silks with colors oh so rare! Incense, too, amid the treasures Strewn upon the pebbles there. Then my eyes became bewildered, Faded fast the jewels gleam, Soon a new and brighter sunshine .' Told me this was but a dream. The Freshman Baseball Player By George Hoffman. nHello. Tom! Coming out for practice tonight? Sure I am. Say, Bill. have you heard about the freshman thatis going to run you out of a job? ftAny old day a freshman beats me in baseballfi Bill answered confidently. fiWelI. so long. P11 see you later? The coach of Waverly High School had announced that baseball practice was to begin that evening. Soon the whole school was ab- sorbed in baseball. The members of the last years team were still in school, so the chances for a new man were slim. Bill was the first baseman and one of the veterans. As for Tom, he was the star pitcher of the team and was noted for his fightingr qualities. That evening about forty players turned out for practice, among them the freshman. During practice the freshman made a good showinq at first base. He was an ideal build for a first baseman. being tall and having a long reach. While he was walking toward the dressing room the coach came up to him. What is vour nameiw he asked. ffCharles Wicherly, was the reply. During the practice that followed Charles showed marked im- Drovement. The first game was an easy one so the coach told the freshman that he .was to start off at first base. When Charles went into the game he was very nervous and excited. In the first inning Page 50 Maine Quill he made two errors and struck out when he was at bat. Bill, who had been sitting on the bench, walked over to the coach and said. ttWell. what do you think of your new find now? You're going in in his place next inning, Bill, was the reply. Bill went in and played his usual good game. Waverly won eas11y, with a score of ten to three. During;r the rest of the season the coach did not pay much at- tention to Wicherly. Waverlyis hardest game came near the end of the season. It was to play Morgan High School for the league championship. Tom was on the line-up as pitcher and Bill was to cover the first sack. On the day of the Morgan game the stands were filled with cheering students as the teams came on the field. After Tom had thrown a few balls to the catcher, the umpire went on the field and called Play ball! and the game was on. The first man at bat struck out and the second man was given a walk. The next man at bat slammed out a two bagger, which scored the man at first. The fourth man up knocked an easy grounder to the short stop. which resulted in a double out. Waverly scored two runs in their half of the inning, which left the score two to one at the end of the first inning. The score remained the same until the fifth inning. The first man at bat knocked an easy single. The sec-- ond man up hit a Texas leaguer, which put a man on first and sec- ond. The Visiting rooters gave a rousing cheer as the next player up walked to the plate. He was thabe Ruth Smith and was dreaded by all the pitchers of the league. Tom wound up and threw the ball with all the speed he possessed- Ball one, announced the umpire. Smith took a mighty swing atthe next ball and knocked a fast grounder between short stop and third baseman. The runner on second reached home and the man on first reached third before the outfielder returned the ball. The next nian hit a sacrifice fly to the outfield, which allowed the man on thlrd to get home. The next man at bat struck out, but Smith stole second on the first strike. A two-bagger by the next man at the plate sent Smith home and made the score four to two in favor of the visitors. The next batter was put out at first. In the last half of the ninth the score was still four to two. This was Waverlyis last chance to win the championship. So enthusiastic were the rooters in the stands that even the staid. dignified facultv was cheering madly. The new freshman was substituting for Bill, who had turned his ankle. The first man to bat singled to right field. Tom was next to hat. The first ball pitched was a strike. Tom then hit a fly, which was caught, to center field. The runner on Iirst ad- vanced to second. The next man was given a walk and the following player struck out. This left two men on base and two outs. The spectators were nearly wild with suspense. Charles Wicherly walked up to the plate. The Waverly rooters groaned mentally and gave up the game. Then some one called out, HItls up to you, old boylii Charles struck wildly at the first ball pitched. Ster-rike one! bellowed the umpire. At the next ball pitched the freshman made another wild swing. Crack! The bat hit the ball squarely. Charles threw down the bat and dashed madly for first base. The runner Who had been on second was half-way home and the runner who had been on first was on his way to third. Charles could not hear what the coach was yelling because of the noise from the stands, but he rounded first and started for second. The outfielder, who was run- Maine Quill Page 5! 11ng for the ball, stumbled and the ball rolled past him. The two runners had crossed the plate and the score was tied. After them the freshman came stumbling in with the winning run. The cheering crowd rushed from the stands and carried the dazed freshman to the dressing room. The Tragedy of A School Girl By Margaret Judson. There was a Junior girl at school Who had to write a ballad. The thought of doing such a thing Had nearly turned her pallid. But what to say? But what to say? That question filled her mind; She thought and thought all through the day, But no words could she find. She labored long and carefully Until the darkness came, But on her tablet there appeared No writing but her name. And when she went to sleep that night Her mind on this did fall, At midnight she got up and wrote A ballad 0n the wall. She rose upon the morrow fair And did both eat and write, She ate her pencil, not her foode Alas! Her head was light. She reached the school at eight otclock And finished her ballad then, But never could she read it, for- She died at half past ten. And on her tombstone, I am told, This sentence you will see, I died from writing ballads For English, period III. And when the English teacher comes And mourns so silently, , The dead will wake and whisper low, I died for English III?

One day when the Chicago elected for president Robert Northwestern ran a train on schedule time the left wing of the class of distinction, 1924, made its noisy entrance to Des Plaines and joined the other wing to enter Maine High, as one of its most promising classes, as has been amply proved. We didnit receive the famed tifreshiesi teasing as much as we expected. But then, you see, we weren,t quite like other classes. There was one time we did shine, and that was the night of the famous Freshman Welcome. We were given our formal wei- come to school by Mr. Himel. It was the night of our introduction into society. Even though we made our debut in short trousers, socks and hair ribbons, we had a splendid time. - At our first class meeting we elected Paul Sieber president and Frances Pitt Vice president. For sponsors we chose Mrs. MacLean and tiCaptain Miller. We showed good spirit in ath- letics for we came out to the games in full force. In fact, two of our men received letters. In girlsi sports we came out with the same pep. Even though we werenit winners, we tried hard. Now as sophs we have changed considerably, of course for the better, as we have at last learned not to ask Miss Gray for assembly credits. We chose Miss Ruh and Mr. McKinnon as sponsors. We Longley; vice president, Vera Klintz; secretary, Dorothy Ches- terman; treasurer, Hugh Carroll. We introduced the freshies to Maine in an entirely new way. Being different is one of our brightest qualities. We initiated the freshmen with a Wiener roast, but we roasted only wienies, not freshmen. On March 4 we gave another party, again proving how well we can enter- tain. . This year we did something that is entirely new. We edited a monthly paper called The Sophomore Comet. In this we recorded the doings of Maine in a very amusing fashion. During uGood English Week the sopohomore class gave a play entitled iiThe Salvation of J emmy Slang? This gave promise of considerable dramatic talent among our members. It is this year that we have shown the athletic stuff were made of. For swimming two of our boys, Ralph Merrill and Hugh Carroll, received great credit. To basketball we gave Paul Sieber and Robert Longley and to foot- ball Roland Kennicott and John Suydam. We are beginning to demon- strate to Maine what we are; in our remaining two years we hope we may be as progressive and as helpful to Maine as we have been in the past. We feel assured that the class of 1924 will be a bright spot in Maineis history. Page 56 7 Maine Quill Seeing Things At Night The imagination plays worse tricks on human beings than any profiteer or bank robber. It is the cause of many unpleasant and fearful moments when we wish such a thing had never been added to our mental faculties. Wake up during the night, a moonlight night, and see there at your window or perhaps closer still, at the very foot of your bed, a perfect silhouette of a man. At first glance your heart seems to jump to your mouth and then almost stop beat- ing as you wait to see him draw a shiny pistol, or more up-to-date, surround you with chloroform or its equivalent. Then as you look more closely and see that he doesn,t move, your courage slowly re- turns and then you come to your right senses and very clearly see the ttman to be your curtain twisted in some queer shape, or the bed post draped gracefully with part of the bed clothes. Now a sigh of relief comes from the innermost depths of your heart and you turn over with the sole desire of going to sleep. Suddenly you hear a scratching sound and you are more awake than ever, for there on the sewing machine beside you is a huge cat. I like cats, yes, I like them very muchein their placeebut did you ever feel the presence of a strange one in the room with you? If not, you cannot imagine the terrible things you believe a cat capable of doing. But, for some reason, that cat seems to be lifeless for not even the tail moves and, for a cat, that is very strange. Then again you see that your imagin- ation is playing a trick on you and your eyes close once more in the vain hope of sleep, when the stairs begin to creak and it sounds as if the whole German army were preparing to ransack the house. Thus the Whole night is spent and With the light of dawn you arise refreshed CD and cheerful CD, resolving the next night never to open your eyes after you touch the bed. Music Hath Charms By Francis Owen The fact that I am a professional musician is purely accidental. When I was seven years old, I started taking piano lessons. When I was much younger I loved to sit at our piano and bang on its keys. I didntt progress with unusual rapidity, nor was I very slow. My mother played some and for a long time she helped me every day when I practiced. My teacher was not very much older than my- self, being a girl in high school who had turned out to be something of a prodigy in things musical. I was her first pupil and she was very conscientious in her work with me. I think much of my later success has been due to the excellent early training she gave me. I studied piano at intervals until I found myself in high school. How I got there I dont know. Long division bothers me yet and I know less about geography than the average fifth grader. Maybe it was because of a habit of silence that I formed. I never said any- thing to the teacher that I could help saying. And when she ex- Maine Quill Page 57 blained anything to me, I used to stare at her and keep my mouth closed and when she asked me if I understood I would nod my head in a knowing way. Yes, I guess that must have been it. In my second year in high school I began to realize how much musical ability would contribute to my popularity. I always had been seeking after popularity, and still am, though I now know that Illl probably never find it. At that time I found myself able to play several of the simple classics rather well. But I had the difficulty so common among young musicians, I couldnlt read music well enough to play new things at sight and when I had laboriously worked up a number it was only good for three or four performances before everyone became tired of it. So I cast about for a simpler instru- ment. At about that time the craze for jazz took possession of the country and I persuaded my dubious father to buy me a saxophone. His attitude soon changed and he became openly antagonistic tow- ards it. After trying self-instruction for two months I decided that there was more to the saxophone than the magazine ads would lead one to believe. So I registered at a well known conservatory of music for instruction. My father paid for my lessons in self defense. He would have been a nervous wreck after another month of my un- tutored experimentation. I had the good fortune to have an old German for my teacher. He was a thorough musician and took an interest in me from the start. After two years with him circum- stances forced me to look for a job. I told him that I would have to stop my lessons and look for work and he astonished me by offer- ing me an opening with a Chautauqua company he was coaching. I protested my inability and he asked me whether or not I wanted the job. Of course I did and he sent me on the road the following week at the fabulous salary ofthirty dollars a week and expenses! After ten years of being a dance, vaudeville and Chautauqua musi- cian I have never regretted that circumstances forced me to break into the game. The Seniors Farewell Message To Maine Our class, who are about to leave, salute you, dear old Maine. We have enjoyed these four full years and from our hearts would fain Give you some word of our great love, our loyalty to you, For these links will be unbroken that will hold us ever true. The friends welve gained in you, old Maine, will always be most dear, The faculty who stood by us so staunchly, without fear, And helped us when the way grew rough, will always hold a place In our regard, when memory brings before us each loved face. Perhaps we have not always realized how dear these days Spent in hallowed halls will be to us when with an older gaze Our hearts yearn back to our school years but before we say good-bye, Grand old Maine, we want to say that in our hearts will never die The memory of our friends and happy days in Old Maine High.

On September sixth, we freshies congregated at Maine High School, among the tfolder students, some of us coming from Park Ridge by bus, and the rest from Des Plaines. We wan- dered meekly about the building trying not to appear frightened or bashful in the least. The first day passed rather suc- cessfully, although we did have a pretty hard time finding our right classes. We must admit that at first we were rather surprised to find that we really didnt hold as big a place in this world as we had thought the year before when we were eighth graders, for alas, we were now only young fffreshiesfl But we decided that even if we were fffreshiesli there was no reason why we couldnt be the best Freshman class that ever entered Maine High School and the upper classmen must ad- mit that we are. Our first class meeting was held early in the year to elect our officers and sponsors. We chose Keats Longley for our president with Ruth Meyer as vice presi- dent, Bar Suster as treasurer and Harry Spence as secretary. Miss Melvin and Mr. McGrath were chosen to help us in our class af- fairs. ' We were welcomed heartily by the Sophomores at the party which they gave in our honor on October the eighth. Everyone hacl a good time and this helped us in becoming better acquainted with our fellow students. We gave two double-jitney dances during the year, the pro- ceeds of one dance being used to purchase a ten dollar Christmas bond from the Chicago Tuber- culosis Institute. In football we can boast of our star player, Harry Spence, with great pride and, although we had but one member of our class on the team, we expect to make a better showing next year. When the volleyball season opened the Freshman girls show- ed their colors when they beat the Sophomore girls. In swimming we also have made a good showing, for Gil- bert Rehm, Harry Spence, Claude Merrill, Frank Eash and Daniel Gates are on our team and have certainly done well. Frank Eash has brought more honor to our class by being cho- sen for the basketball team. Although the baseball season has not yet arrived, we expect to make as good a record in it as we have made in all other sports. Besides being active in athle- tics we tifreshies have had other honors bestowed upon us. The smallest member of our class, Enes Freda, has entertained the school several times during gen- eral assembly with her splendid readings. Betty Fabian has also honored us in the same way, and as for Alyce Lockette, when it comes to playing the piano and fancy dancing, she is always on the job. We will soon be wise Sopho- mores and expect to continue our excellent record. A senior ChroniCle fContinued from page 20J American literature was delightful And much knowledge did we gain From the diaries of those Puritans, From the horrors of poor Poe, From the lyrics of Freneau. But those essays of Emerson We could not digest, Being too full of all the rest. So we've journeyed onward, upward, Left our freshmen days behind us, Left our sophomore and our junior, Crossed the shining sands as seniors. Crossed the classroom for the last time. Past are all the spreads and dances, Past are all the games and meets, That we might enter in for Maine. Comes at last our Graduation Comes the time to say goodbye. We must say it to our schooldays, But we need not let them die If we will always remember Mainels alumni are we ever. Page 62 Maine Quill Mrs. Carters New Coat By Helen Naeher. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were breakfasting in their tiny dining room. Both looked worried, and with good reason, for Mr. Carter was a grocer, and business was poor. Furthermore, baby Betty and Bobbie were in need of clothes. Mrs. Carteris winter coat was very shabby and Mr. Carteris overcoat had seen a great deal of wear. ttThere, dear, its seven oiclock, and I must be gone. Good-bye, Bobbie. Be a good boy and donit wake Betty. Good-bye, Nancy. Donit worryii With this Mr. Carter left for his store. itOh, dear! I donit know what to do! I must go to Harrietts tea tomorrow and I haventt a thing that is really good enough to wear. I guess P11 go down town, just for the walk. I canit buy anything, that's sure. Leaving Betty and Bobby with a neighbor, Mrs. Carter left the house and walked and walked. At last she walked into a store, in the window of which she had seen a handsome fur trimmed coat. The coat so fascinated her that she determined to ask the price, al- though she knew she could not buy it. An attentive saleswoman came forward, and in answer to her query said, That coat has been marked down to $98.50. Do you wish to try it on? Mrs. Carter tried it on, and before she really knew what she was doing, ordered it charged and sent to her home. As she walked home, she decided that when it was delivered the next morning she would have to send it back. In the meantime Bob Carter in his store was arguing with him- self: I know that I should use this $100 I got today to pay debts, but Nancy needs new clothes. SheIs scrimped and saved long enough, and she deserves to have this hundred. That noon when he came home for lunch, he said to Nancy, HHere, dear, is a present for you. Mrs. Baldin paid her bill this morning. Oh! Bobfi cried Nancy, uthank you a thousand times. Now I can buy that . But she caught herself and decided that the money must be used to buy clothes for the children. The next morning the coat arrived and Mrs. Carter was about to tell the boy to take it back when she reflected that it wouldnt hurt to wear the coat for a few hours, and that she could send it back the next morning. Nancyis new coat was much admired at the tea that afternoon, but the admiration only made her uncomfortable. She left as soon as possible, and when she arrived home, she phoned the shop and told them to send for the coat. Nancyis mind was free from care until about an hour after the coat had been taken back to the shop. Then she remembered that her purse was in the pocket of the coat with Bobis gift of $100, and that the shop had by that time closed. She worried and worried, and decided to call them in the morning, and inquire for the check. She did not mention the tea, the coat, nor the missing purse to Bob, and pretended to be natural and cheerful the whole evening. The next morning when breakfast was over, and Bob had gone to the store, Nancy stepped toward the telephone to call the shop. Just then there was a knock at the door, and there stood Harriet. with Nancyis purse and precious check. tContinued on page 68J Maine Quill EDITORIAL FOUR BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS AT MAINE This has been a very successful year for Maine in every way. There are four blg things that have been accomplished which are worthy of special attention. THE MAINE BOARD In the first part of the year the Maine Board was organized. This being its first year, it did not accomplish as much as we hope it will in the future, but it has a good start and will mean a great deal to Maine in the future. TUBERCULOSIS SEAL SALE Some time before Christmas the yearly drive for tuberculosis funds was started. The pupils all worked very hard so that Maine might have the honor of capturing the banner. The latter part of January, much to the joy of all, the banner was presented. This showed that in proportion to the number of pupils in the school, Maine had the highest average per pupil of all the schools in Cook county in-the selling of these stamps. Every pupil realized the im- portance of this work and each one did his best to help rid the country of one of its worst plagues by entering the contest and selling as many Christmas seals as possible. SUPERVISED STUDY On February first a new schedule was adopted for the classes. The former forty minute periods were increased to sixty minutes and the number of periods was decreased to six. There are many advan- tages derived from this supervised study, as it is called. First, the marks of the pupils have become higher because of the extra time for study. Very often there are not the conveniences in the home for proper study while in the school room a great deal can be accom- plished. Second, during study hour, the pupil receives special at- tention from the teacher when it is needed. One of the biggest ad- vantages is the help the teacher can give in teaching the pupil how to study. There are a number of pupils who do not know how to go about getting their work. The teacher can see that, with the pu- pil before her, so the fault can be corrected. This would naturally lead to better work and higher marks. Another advantage is the leisure time gained by the pupil. Before, there was hardly a spare moment to be found, but now there are at least a few minutes to do outside work. The pupils did not like the new plan at iirst and there was much said about the periods being too long, but they have adapt- ed themselves very well and the work is running as smoothly as though no change had taken place. THE MAINE HONOR SOCIETY The fourth big thing accomplished this year was the formation of the Maine Honor Society. From that quarter of the class having the highest averages, six pupils who have done the most for the school were chosen by the teachers. This is a national organization and will no doubt become very extensive. The honor associated with being a member of the society is an incentive to any ambitious stu- dent to work. THE ATHLETIC FIELD The athletic field was purchased in three different parts at dif- tContinued on page 683 Page 64 Maine Quill Maine Quill The Maine Board The Maine Board is composed of a Financial Board and a Board of Control. Each of these consists of three committees. The com- mittees of the Financial Board are: ta1 Entertainments; th An- nual; t0 Athletics.

Page 66 Maine Quill The Maine Honor Society During the present school year, an organization called the Maine Honor Society of Maine Township High School, has been formed at Maine. It is a branch of the Na- tional Honor Society which had its beginning some five years ago at a meeting of the National As- sociation of Secondary School Principals. It had long been felt that in high schools, too little recognition of a public sort was being given to scholarship, as distinguished from other types of school ac- tivity. An athlete, a debater, or a member of a dramatic club fre quently came into the public eye and attained a certain degree of honor, but no one ever heard of the student who devoted. his time to study to the partial exclusion of the more attractive side lines. The National Honor Society was designed to remedy this con- dition by giving to strong stu- dents in the high school much the same sort of recognition which is given by Phi Beta Kappa to the strong student in college or by Sigma Psi to the graduate stu- dent of the university for pro- nounced success in research. There is a suitable distinctive emblem which may be worn only by members of the various branches of the National Honor Society. The possession of this pin Will secure for the high school graduate a deserved recognition from college mates and will mean to anyone acquainted with high school conditions that the wearer has been a strong student and pos- sesses general all-around ability. Since the constitution provides Maine Quill that the members of the Society shall be elected from the first quarter of the graduating class, and since the class of 1922 con- tains forty-two members, there were eleven students from whom the faculty selected by ballot the six who in their estimation have been most helpful to Maine when everything was taken into consid- eration. The eleven who were eligible in respect to scholarship were: Elizabeth Backes Henry Berquist Mildred Eley Marjorie Smith Mary Smock Bernice Stow Evelyn Meyer Florence Toepel Robert Risser Alden Tyler Ethel Woody The faculty chose the six whose names follow as members of the Society: Elizabeth Backes Henry Berquist Alden Tyler Mary Smock Ethel Woody We feel that the entire student Florence Toepel body and all friends of Maine unite with us in congratulating them upon this well deserved rece ognition of their abilities, their in- dustry and their services to Maine. The constitution of the Society follows: Constitution of the Maine Honor Society ARTICLE I. Name and Purpose. Section 1.

In 1921 it was decided that an entrance on the north side was needed, so a lot fifty by one hundred fifty was purchased. The baseball dia- mond was completed last year just in time for the games to start, In 1917 about four acres were bought, including two In 1919 about four more acres This and it has been used very extensively since then. There is a long stretch of level ground used in the fall for football. In the spring the dlfferent stretches needed for track are provided. The stadium was also completed last year and because of its large seating capacity 1t is an added advantage to the field. Since athletics are so' import- ant in the school, the pupils appreciate the kindness of the board in securing this land for them. MRS. CARTERIS NEW COAT tContinued from page 62.1 Why, Harriet, Where in the world did you get thatiw asked Nancy. nI bought a coat at Johnstonls yesterday just before closing time, and when I put it on at home I noticed a piece of leather pro- jecting from a pocket. And this is it. How did it get there? Nancy related the whole story, ending with Whatls all this dis- play of dress worth, when we really canlt afford it? tlYou are right. Nancy? said Harriet. Wm going to send this coat back, because I canlt afford it. Just think, I wanted a new coat just because you had one, and now neither of us has one. Neither of us could say we were helping our husbands. Let,s mend our ways? The next day Miss Jacobs, head lady in Johnstonls Coat Shop, sent a coat up to the work room, saying, Have this coat examined. It has been sent back twice. Maine Quill Page 70 Maine Quill Maine Quill FOOTBALL When school opened last Sep- tember there was one thought in many of the boys heads. What was it? Why, to make the foot- ball team, of course. What is a better goal for a young fellow to work for? Rainy, nasty weather came as it always does, but ttour boys were out there mopping up the mud with their faces and grinning, trying all the while to link their mechanical selves with their minds; in other words to 2get organized. All this goes to show that some fellows wanted to see Maine leave the many fields that she was to leave with the wholesome feeling of ttI knew it in every playerts heart. However, our season was not all smooth going. Out of the nine games we played, we won four and tied one, or just did clear the bar of Reputation. All through the season the team was well sup- plied with rooters and nothing is half so reassuring as to hear a bunch of hearty voices backing you up. All of the players did well, but some deserve mention: Spence, in his freshman year, was playing regularly as right tackle. His big bulk and his quick eye made him a menace to the enemy. Haasabulk?-eno- speed?--well, no, but strength! When the ball was on the bottom of a chicken pile and Haas had the ball, you could bet that it wouldnt lie still. Imig should go out for the run. He surely made the opponent Chasers sick at heart as he dashed the length of the field for a touchdown. Leave it to Gillick to get in a perfect punt, or to carry through a good for- ward pass. Norse was never a loud talker, but loud talk doesnt go very far in football. He was right there to see that they didn't get through. What have we to say about our steady center? One thing is this: ttThere is no bet- ter one in Cook county. You could see old ttSwede Hansen and Hoffman out on the ends, watching like hawks when the signals were being given, but When the action started, they were there on the spot. Bergman used to like to get mussed up, but he usually ended by mussing up the other fellow. Werner and Wakefield were on the spot as guards. They actually did 2shut up and saw wood. For next year we still will have Spence, Hoffman, Hansen and Haas. This material, along with new that always shows up, will make good stuff for a good team.

Woodstock kicked off 45 yards to Gillick, who returned the ball about ten yards. The first part of the game was not very interest- ing and so there is not much to say about it. Each team had its good spells and would go ahead, Page 72 Maine Quill but gain nothing. During the first three quarters of the game Maine made two touchdowns on line bucks. Woodstock gained one touchdown on a pretty for- ward pass. They executed a series of successful forward pass- es, and had pushed Maine back to her ten-yard line. Then they tried one pass too many. Hansen caught it and ran the length of the field for a touchdown. An interesting feature of the game is this: Just before the end they put in a substitute and with four seconds to play, he dropped back and kicked a true field goal, scor- ing three points. tContinued on page 80.1 BasketbaH About the end of the'football season, Coach Fisher began to think about basketball. He had already decided that this year was to be the biggest and the best that Maine had ever seen. New uniforms and new balls were or- dered. The gym floor was paint- ed, and other things were done to make the playing conditions bet- ter. Fellows turned out in fair num- bers for the nightly practice. To some of them the game was en- tirely new, but most of them were merely warming up on past ex- perience. During the first half of the sea- son, the Heavies were not very successful, but it seemed as though a few games practice fixed them so they could do bet- ter. In all the Heavies won thir- teen games and lost nine. The Lights won thirteen games and lost two. All together we played thirty-eight games, and lost eleven. All of the players got out and trained like real men, realizing that in basketball the thing that counts is what you get out of the game, not whether you win. The ideal of sportsmanship is driven into the players minds till it be- comes a part of each one. Maine has a good reserve for next yearts team. Hoffman, Boll- inger, Hansen, Christopher, Web- ster and other lower classmen will be with us next to carry on the good work of this years team. Following is a list of players, their points and other facts con- cerning them.

We had conquered Libertyville in the game with her here at Maine, and Libertyville was pret- ty sure that she could regain the title. They came onto the floor all brim full of confidence. Each team was keen on beating the other one, and the players were all keyed up to a fighting spirit of the finest kind. The game started and was well under way before any scoring was done by either side. Finally Libertyville scored ahead, and then Maine, and the score was see-sawing up and down. Hoffman lived up to his old reputation, dodging after the ball and iisinkingi7 it before the opponents knew what had hap- pened. Bollinger did fine free throwing. Klintz stayed right under their basket and whenever the ball came his way, he hustled it back to our end again. At the end of the first half, the rooters of each side formed a snake line and each tried to make the most noise and commotion. The score at the end of the first half was twenty- three to twenty-four in favor of Libertyville. During the last quarter we put in Hansen and Kaufman, who were the pivot of the game from then on. The final horn sounded just as Hoffmanis sunken ball dropped to the floor. In the Lightweight game, we won, but not by such a close mar- gin. With Christopher as center, we easily out-jumped their man. Seiber and Webster as usual, did fast work on the fioor as for- wards. Chuck Bergman and Pop Imig were right there with the resistance. Our team was well versed in their signaling, and this along with their high morale, helped to win the game. Inter-Class Basketball In the inter-class basketball games, the Seniors beat the Soph- omores and the Juniors beat the Freshmen. The Seniors then played the Juniors and lost. There was some good playing done and some excellent material for future use was found. The games were refereed by Mr. An- spaugh, the physics teacher. The line-ups were: Sophomores-Biba, Behrens, guards; R. Longly, center; Ford, P. Sieber, for- wards. Freshmen4Spence, Laughlin, guards; Eash, center; Calvert, Tarnow, forwards. Juniors4Goebel. Olson, guards; Pe- terson, center; Haas, Setzler, forwards. S e n i 0 r s-Granlund, Gill, guards; Wakefield, center; C. Jensen, Klintz, for- wards.

Maine Quill Page 75 Junior Basketball T eam Senior Basketball Team Page 76 Maine Quill Freshman-Sophomore Basketball Team Girlsi Basketball The 1921-1922 girlsy basket- ball activities have proved to be of more interest than those of former years because more girls participated than in previous years. The girls surely proved that they could advance and de- velop class team-work. The tournament was played on March twenty-eighth, twenty- ninth and thirty-first. Miss Ron- ning, who refereed the games, was kept busy watching the passes and plays. The first day the seniors met the freshmen and defeated them by a score of 17 to 9. The same afternoon the sophs suffered de- feat by the juniors with a 37 t0 4 decision. Wednesday the sophomore- senior game ended with a score of 13 to 10, giving the seniors the victory. The sophomores deserve honor for making,r the seniors fight harder than they had ex- pected. The juniors, on the oth- er hand, won an easy Victory over the freshmen, defeating them by a score of 45 to 0. On Friday the seniors played the juniors and the freshmen the sophs. In the first game, which decided the championship, the score stood about tie in the first quarter but in the following quar- ters the juniors gradually stepped toward an overwhelming Victory, proving their superiority by a 37 to 10 score. The sophs beat the freshmen to the tune of 15 to 4, with the result that the juniors ranked first, seniors next, sopho- mores third and the freshmen, naturally, last. The first year girls, however, are to be compli- mented on their faithfulness and interest in practice which will un- doubtedly give them a winning team in coming years. Maine Quill Page 77 Junior Volleyball Team The girls, volleyball this year has created more interest and faithful practice than any previous season. The girls came out to practice regularly and showed their sportsmanship t0 the utmost. The rooters were not out in full force on account of restrictions by the principal, but the girls did their best and made it exciting for them- selves without help from the boys. The sophomores were defeated by the freshies, which is quite sur- prising, as freshies usually hold the last place. The sophs suffered defeat in every game, but they are to be encouraged and we wish them better luck in the future. When the freshies met the illustrious seniors they received what they had fearededefeat. Although they played a spirited game and won the first of the three, the seniors won the next two, giving them the Victory. The juniors won an. easy Victory over the freshies, but when they were freshmen they received the same treatment. The game between the upper classmen and the one to decide the championship was a very exciting one, owing to the fact that the teams were so evenly matched. The seniors, probably not expecting to lose, fought hard through the three games, but they were defeated. In consequence of these games the juniors were the champions, the seniors followed, the freshies third and the sophs last. Maine Quill Maine Quill Page 79 Track As we go to press, there has been no action along the track line, except the daily practice. We never have been able to get our track returns into the annual, because they always come too late in the year to be of any use. We might possibly print last year's events, but they are too old to be of any interest. We have material which prom- ises a good track team this year, and have already, or are getting the apparatus necessary, for a good showing and for practice. As this year seems to be a busy one for us Maine folks, and con- sidering the fact that school lets out at the late hour of 3:30, we are arranging to have all our meets on Saturdays, except the Q. I. A. meets. We have the advantage of hav- ing our athletic field very near Team the school. A few years ago, all the meets and outdoor games were held in Stars Park, quite a way from the school building. After this year we will lose Si- mon, a high jumper, and our best pole vaulter; Wakefield, our hurdler, broad jumper and run- ner; Werner, a good hurdler and high jumper, and Granlund and Klintz, discus throwers. But we will still have good material for next yearls development. Baseball Besides track, baseball comes too late in the season to go into the annual. Last year we ac- quired a baseball diamond of the regulation size and a grand stand with a seating capacity of about three hundred and fifty. What Page 80 Maine Quill better place could a high school want to play baseball? The fellows are already out ev- ery night practicing and warming up a bit. We have excellent llstuflf' for this years team. Hoffman, our star pitcher, is still with us, and will be pitching for Maine for still another year. Berquist, Haas, or Ford will catch. This year we will lose Gill, Granlund and Berquist. These men are part of the support of the team and we cannot afford to lose them. There are Haas, Hoffman, Hansen, Behrens and Kaufmane all good playerseleft for the next years team. We will also lose Harridge after this year. All prospects are for a good season this year. The coach has ordered a new supply of bats for the team. Swimming Maine has never paid so very much attention to her sw1mm1ng team. It would be better if this sport could be given more atten- tion than it ever has received. We came out about even on the meets. We have two experts who deserve mention. Haas has seldom been beaten on his diving. Merrill is a good crawler, making about twelve strokes to the length of the tank, and to look at him. you would think that he was being pulled by a rope, he takes it so easily. There havenlt been any good plungers to speak of since the good old days of llBuz Ben- nett, though Spence shows signs of being a comer in this event. Norse is our most spectacular man in the tank. Besides being a good breasts stroker, he can stick under the water like an ot- ter. One time while at Elmhurst he drank a bottle of grape juice and ate a banana under water! Try it once and see how you come out. In addition to all these feats he can swim sixty yards under water! Football tContinued from page M The Freshman-Sophomore foot- ball game played this year was won by the Freshmen by a score of thirteen to twelve. John Col- lett made two touchdowns for the Freshmen and Frank Eash kicked goal once. Daniel Haxton and Willis Jensen each made a touch- down for the Sophomores, but the goal-kick was missed both times. The line-ups were : Position F ullback ............

A minstrel show given by the boys glee club proved so successful that one is to be given this year. Last year ttGaki, H01- brook, Hunky Norse, Amosii KRichman and Shaky Madsen acted the parts of end men, bringing forth rounds of laughter and applause from the audience. iiIthi Gillick, as interlocutor, was all that could be desired and was again selected for this years per- formance. In the Clio, there were many interesting tistuntsti pulled off by Bushwa and Shaky and The tO-G, Company? The annual spring concert by the chorus, orchestra and glee clubs was given June 3d. Miss Beulah Rosine, Cellist of Chicago, assisted. Her playing received an ovation. It was the first time that a cellist had been used on a high school program and the feature was not only new but was greatly appreciated by the audience. The num- ber featured by the chorus was HThe Heavens Are Telling? from Haydnis Creation? This was given with orchestral accompaniment and those who heard it commented on the splendid playing of the orchestra parts to this difficult number. ' tContinued on page 86J Maine Quill Page 86 Maine Quill MUSIC tContinued from page 833 The present year is the most successful year the Music Depart- ment of Maine has ever had. Mr. Showers teaches two days each week, instead of one as in the past. This has made it possible to add Harmony to the curriculum. Harmony is taught two hours per week. A student taking two years of Harmony at Maine will be given one years credit at the University. This is one large step ahead for the Muslif Department which was made possible by the extra day per wee . The chorus and orchestra show a decided improvement as a result of the two additional rehearsal hours per week. The orches- tra plays with greater precision and the chorus has better balance of parts and sings in a more finished manner. At many of the weekly fun periods the orchestra has appeared in numbers which have met with hearty applause. Excellent work has been done by this organization at each performance. Friday evening, January 20, 1921, the Annual Mid-winter Con- cert was given by the chorus, glee clubs and orchestra. They were assisted by Mrs. M. Ethelyne Showers, contralto, and Mr. Charles Lutton, baritone, of Chicago. Mrs. Showers has appeared here sev- eral times, but never to a more appreciative audience. She was en- thusiastically encored. Mr. Lutton has also appeared several times. He carried the audience with him in his clever rendering of the group of Irish songs.

Twas the 3lst of March, You,ll remember that I know, When two freshmen got a bright idea, At least they thought ,twas so. The day was dull and drowsy, Gloomy clouds were in the sky, The pupils slumbered peacefully, Their textbooks resting nigh. But they suddenly awakened, And sniffed the air, and cried, HPray tell me what is this I smell, Methinks something has died? There followed many odors, Of alcohol and such, To counteract the first one, But it did not help it much. These very strange proceedings Had mystified us quite, Until we saw upon the stage A most unusual sight. V Two guilty-looking freshmen, One short, the other tall, And both of them were grinning: Dejected? Not at all! And then the smaller freshman rose, And from a scroll he read, But first he grinned from ear to ear, And then these words he said: ttI brought to school with me today A big Limburger cheese, And now I beg forgiveness Upon my bended knees. Thus he finished his confession, And the larger rose to speak, He blushed and grinned and stammered, And his words were very meek. uI put it on the radiator, Just for fun, of course, But humbly I apologize, Pm filled with deep remorse? The freshmen were forgiven, And my story ends right here. This has passed my own approvaled 'Tis the censor that I fear. Page 89 Maine Quill Page 90 Maine Quill Social Notes FRESHMAN WELCOME On October 8th the Freshmen were formally welcomed to Maine at a party given by the Sophomores. They had been welcomed at the beginning of the year, but the party again assured them of the good will which the upper classes felt toward them. They were in- vited to a weenie roast, but they enjoyed games and dancing be- fore the tteats. A grand march, followed by dancing, began the party. Several guessing games tried the Freshman wit, which proved equal to that of the Sophomores. Then came the main feature of the evening, namely, the weenieti roast. The weenies were cooked at small fires scattered about the athletic, field. The scene might have led an observer to believe that Indians were encamped in the heart of Des Blaines. After the ttweenie roast, the guests returned to the gym and danced. The Sophomores, who gave the party, and the Freshmen were the only classes present. May all Freshman Welt omes be as successful! HALLOWEEN DANCE The Seniors and Juniors gave a Halloween party on Friday, October 20th. Herb Syncopators furnished jazzy, jiggy, joyous mu- sic and the floor was waxed to perfection. Orange and black pre- dominated in the decorations. Strips of orange and black crepe pa- per suspended from the ceiling formed a square in which sat tue musicians. Black cats, witches and owls were scattered plentifully about. The lights were covered with orange and black crepe paper so that a ghostly light pervaded the room. The programs were orange, with black cats on the front. Let us hope that each Hal- loween may call forth such a delightful party as this one was. JITNEY DANCE A double jitney dance was given by the Seniors on the after- noon of October 31st. The decorations, which had been left from the Halloween dance, formed a piquant background for the occa- sion. The orchestra, composed of several musical members of the student body, furnished snappy, syncopated music. ALUMNI DANCE For three years it has been a custom at Maine for the Senior Class to give a dance for the Alumni of the school. Custom pre- scribes the Friday after Thanksgiving for this dance. At that time the Alumni absent at college are home for the holidays and with the Juniors and Seniors, the only classes invited to the dance, form a good crowd. The gym was beautifully decorated for this years dance with twisted strips of pink, green and yellow crepe paper. The twisted streamers of delicately tinted paper were reminiscent of those twisted sticks of candy known as opera sticks. The programs were white with blue letters, very appropriate for a reunion of Maine students and alumni. The orchestra, as always, was perfectly satis- factory. We are glad that an Alumni Dance has become an institu- tion at Maine, for this years Seniors will be glad of a dance next November in the Maine gymnasium. Maine Quill RETURN ALUMNI DANCE At the Christmas holidays, with the return home of many of our Alumni, came a return dance given by the Alumni to the school stu- dents. It was a very successful affair. Many guests were present, and, as the hackneyed phrase goes, ttall enjoyed a pleasant time. The holiday spirit was personified in the decorations. Small Christ- mas trees, gaily decorated, twinkled in every corner, and red crepe paper dimmed the lights. The music was very exhilirating, and eleven-thirty came too soon. The students thank the Alumni Asso- ciation for this dance, and hope that the tttradelast will contlnue for many years. ' SOPHOMORE DANCE In February the Sophomores planned a dance in honor of the truth-sayer, the Father of his Country. Owing to an epidemic of German measles the dance was postponed and was given Saturday evening, March 4th. There were comparatively few present at the dance, owing to the basketball tournament then taking place at Oak Park. The few who were present had a very good time and declared that the Sophomores were excellent hosts and hostesses. The music was supplied by Hasst Orchestra, and the gym was decorated in pink and green. Dramatics During uGood English Week on November 10, 1921, the dra- matic ability of a number of our students was shown. Under the supervision of Miss Lund the Sophomores gave a very humorous play entitled The Salvation 0f Jemmy Slang? The cast was as follows: Mr. Best English ................. Frederick Rogers Miss Culture ...................... Agnes Durham Miss Better English ................. Darthea Owen Mr. Ignorance ................... Lawrence Longley Sal Shiftless ....................... Bernice Gurney Miss Good English ................. Adele Richman Ma Shiftless .................. Dorothy Chesterman Jemmy Slang ...................... Wilfred Wirth The purpose of the play was to show the importance of good English and the actors surely convinced the audience that good Eng- lish means much in establishing a good name. The same evening the Seniors staged a play entitled ttSpread- ing the News under the able direction of Miss Chapman. The cast was as follows: Magistrate .......................... Edwin Simon Policeman ......................... Robert Holman Mrs. Tarpey ...................... Frances Bonnell James Ryan ........................ Eugene Sieber Jack Smith ...................... George Holbrook Tim Casey ........................ Henry Berquist Bartley Fallon ...................... Francis Owens Mrs. Fallon ......................... Betty Backes Mrs. Tully .......................... Mildred Eley Shawn Early ........................ Robert Risser Page 92 . Maine Quill 1 This play was not so much to show the importance of good Eng- lish as to show how easily a change in words can lead to something serious. In this case a poor innocent man was accused of murder and then the man supposed to be murdered walked in. It is an Irish scene and really very humorous because of the ridiculous misunder- standings. The Senior Play is as a rule a big success, but this year it ap- peared to be more successful than ever. It seemed at first that the play was tihoodooed? Several of the boys were on the basketball team and had to be away a good deal. Then the German measles Visited some of the members of the cast. Besides this there was sick- ness in the family of Mrs. Talcott, the coach. But all this only went to show the great ability of Mrs. Talcott and the cast. The play was a huge success and peals of laughter came from the audience from start to finish. ttNothing but the Truths was the title of the big play and before the end everyone is convinced that telling the truth is not as easy as it sounds. The hero, Bob Bennett, better known as Irving Gillick, bets a friend ten thousand dollars that he can tell the truth for twen- ty-four hours. He succeeds, but resolves never to tell the truth again as long as he lives. We find him disrupting the home of his partner, B. M. Ralston, acted by Charles Bergman; impairing the good.repu- tations of several men; insulting one; hurting the feelings of another; in fact, getting into all sorts of complications, but gaining a good reputation for himself. At last the twenty-four hours are up and then Bob very nicely clears himself and the others. The cast of characters was as follows: Bob Bennett ........................ Irving Gillick B. M. Ralston .................... Charles Bergman Bishop Doran ....................... Francis Owen Clarence Van Dusen ................ Raymond Imig Dick Donnelly ....................... Robert Risser Gwen ............................... Mary Smock Mrs. Ralston ....................... Marjorie Smith Ethel ............................... Alice Benzel Dixie .............................. Marian Mann Trixie ............................. Evelyn Meyer Martha .......................... Frances Bonnell As a curtain raiser HA Husband in Clover was staged by Roan Spence and George Holbrook. Roan took the part of Lydia With- erspoon and George was the husband, Horace Witherspoon. Horace is dissatisfied with this calm life and such a timint-sauceless lamb as his wife. He craves a quarrel to break the monotony, but his wife never loses her temper and is all too sweet to him. But when Lydia sees the journal of his life in which he expresses his distaste for a life which is a itlake Without a ripple? reads of his love for passion, temper, sentiment and jealousy, he very soon finds out that his ttmint-sauceless lamb, his ltstuifed woman is the best. Lydia. gives him all the passion, temper, sentiment, and jealousy he wants and he finds that a burnt lamb chop is not to his taste. The two plays were presented at the Echo Theater, Des Plaines, March tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth.

Every time we hear a noise like an army, its the sophs or freshmen going to have a pic- ture taken. Feb. 8. Miss Lewerenzis second per- iod Latin class gave her a birthday par- ty today.

First night of the senior play, Nothing But the Truth. Oh, girls, doesn,t Irv act just like Wally Reid? March 13 and .14. Two more per- formances of the, play and it surely was a great success.

Oh, my friend, I, who once was a Freshman and am now a Sen- ior, having spent four years at Maine in the acquirement of knowledge, am wishful to impart to thee some of the things which I have learned. I do this not alone in the hope that thou mayst learn by my experience-for alas! I fear such hope is vaine but also because those who are experienced are ever desirous of advising the young. Among the things which I have learned by personal experience or by obser- vation are these, oh thou of little experience: I. When a teacher says unto thee ttRemain forty minutes after school tonight in room 105, stay not to argue and fail not to ap- pear, lest thy sentence be in- creased even unto eighty minutes. This have I learned by sad ex- perience. II. Linger not by thy locker and loiter not in the halls that thou mayst hold converse with thy friends, for know ye that our Principalehonored be his name! -doth walk about seeking whom he may warn Hasten, lest ye be late for class? III. When thou art questioned thus by Mrs. Skillen, HHast thou been talking? make not a frivo- lous reply, lest thou be ordered to explain thyself to Mr. Himel. IV. And, if it chance that thou art of the female sex, spend not too much time between periods in applying powder to thy already alabaster nose. Know ye, that teachers require admit slips when thou art tardy and these slips are not easily acquired. V. Furthermore, it is not ad- visable to question Miss Gray thus: ttWhen do we get our cards? I tell thee that such questions do provoke her might- ily, and small wonder at it! VI. If it so happen that thou shouldst study Caesar's Commen- tariesawould that he had kept them to himself!-think not that thou shalt slip by with but half the assigned chapter prepared. Verily, thou wilt inevitably be called on for that part which thou hast not studied. VII. If thou hast Mr. McKin- non as assembly teacher know ye that itis best not to read a news- paper, for this he doth frown upon. VIII. Moreover, in thy zeal to make thy mark, make not the mistake of cutting thy initials deeply upon some desk. Any up- per classman can impart to thee the parable of the over ambitious young man who did this very thing. Let it sufiice for me to say that his example is not one to fol- ow. IX. It is not wise to dash through the hall as though thou wert pursued by a demon. X. Neither is it advisable to raise thy voice unduly in order to attract the attention of some friend of thine who may chance to be at the opposite end of the hall. XI. Also I warn thee that however fond Miss Cassidy is of jokes outside the classroom, she loveth not undue merriment dur- ing class. XII. If thou hast artistic abil- ity, refrain from exercising it upon any pictures thou mayst see in the library. If thou doubtest the wisdom of this, ask several Junior boys if I speak not the truth. XIII. If it chance that thou desirest to be excused from school, I tell thee that unless thou bearest a note from home, thou shalt accomplish thy desire as easily as may a camel pass through a needleis eye. XIV. It is not wise to absent thyself from school Without a good excuse. Be it added that a desire to attend a matinee or a Maine Quill mwex Mr. Anspaugh, our faculty ad- viser, had occasion to Visit the Mabel Sykes studio on business for the Quill. As you know, all but the sixth floor tthe one occu- pied by the studiol is occupied by a beauty parlor school. At the fifth floor Mr. Anspaugh left the elevator, but was called back by the colored operator, who said, ttSay, Mista, yo' donl wanl no la- diesl Turkish bath. Miss Chapman: , When Frank- lin was coming down the street with a loaf of bread under each arm and eating a third, what kind of an impression did he make on the woman who was la- ter to become his wife? Shrimp Sieber: A lasting one. The Name Smith, for Instance Irene: You know, I like short common names much better than unusual ones. Larimer: Oh, donlt you like the name McGranahan? Irene: Why, I'd die if I thought I should have to use it all my life! Off the Bat Teacher: Who can tell where Pittsburgh is? Louis Hansen: Please, malam, theylre playin' in Chicago. Mr. Verity: What did you do with that last ten dollars I gave you? Bill: I bought a dollar,s worth of oranges and figs and spent the rest on dates. Miss Cassidy: We need a watch with a second hand for this experiment. Bernice, will you see if you can get one? Bernice Stow, a few minutes later: Mr. McGrath, Miss Cas- sidy wants to borrow your sec- ond hand watch. Miss Chapman: Have any of you any jokes for the Annual? Bud Webster: Yes, I have, but I canlt hand them in. Miss Chapman: Why? Bud: Because they are seate ' behind me. Hoffman to Bollinger: What do you mean by telling Jay I am a fool? Bollinger: Was it a secret? I'm sorry. Mr. Anspaugh: Now, Walter, if you had enough spunk in you, you might amount to something. Do you know what spunk is? Walter: Yes, sir. It's the past participle of spank. Page 106 Pop Imig: Father, I want to talk to you about changing my course of study. Father: Talk to your mother. Pop: Mother, I made a mis- take when I took up chemistry. I want to take up astronomy. Mother: No, you'll have to find a better excuse than that for staying out nights. Simon always would twist his neck to see a good looking dame? One day, on the way to Patten Gym, Simon was on the watchout for a look at a ttco-ed. Down the street ahead of us was a doll, dressed to kill. Simon was just on the point of yo-hooing, when she turned her head and his eyes met two jet jewels, set in an ebony background. Since then he has had no use for ttco-eds. Miss Chapman: Eugene, name some of the most important works of Cooper. Shrimp: Rip Van Winkle. Larry Longley,in English class: That looks more like a turkey gander than a turkey hen, doesn't it? Really! Does anyone know Teacher: 3 definition of ballad? . Betty Backes: I do. A ballad IS a song, usually sung by people. Maine Quill MAXIMS OF A SENIOR tContinued from page 104J baseball game is not considered a good excuse by the powers that be. XV. Do not absent thyself from class without an excuse and then present thyself next day without an admit slip. Verily, such a course leadeth to trouble. These, my friend, are but a few of the things I have learned. Fearful lest I tire thee by too long a recital of my wisdom, I pause here. To paraphrase the famous proverb that saith: ttTrain up a child in the way he should go and when he arrives at years of dis- cretion, he will promptly depart therefrom? I would say ttGive advice to the inexperienced and when the time arrives at which they should use it, they will promptly neglect it. Thus hath it always been and thus will it ever be, world without end. Selah! She: Oh, youlre so tender to- night. Malvin: I ought to be. Ilve been in hot water with the fac- ulty all week.
