And if you are a friend, may you gain not only an hour of enjoyment, but also a livelier interest in our accomplish- ments. The year has been wonderfully t successful. Perhaps our book may add a tiny shred more of glamour.

SPANGLER MR. BERGMAN MR. PITT MR. MARKWORTH DR. PURVES BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. A. A. PITT, President Park Ridge ttMaineethe foundation of American integrity. HI believe, says Mr. Pitt, ttthat the best thing for Maine is character build- ing through the cooperation and co- ordination of parents, teachers and pupils? THE REV. MR. WALTER D. SPANGLER, Park Ridge ttMaine-A Place of Preparation for the Work of Life? What I would most like to see at Maine? says Mr. Spangler, is a real forward step toward the Ideal of High School Education given us by the Maine Township High School Survey Commis- sion. At present, I think that Maine may well be proud of the good natured spirit manifest in the student body and the enthusiasm shown at all athletic and other events. MR. EMIL W. BERGMAN, Maine Township HD0 nothing unworthy and be a 10070 American at all timesf, ttI like Mainels school spirit and dis- ciplinef says Mr. Bergman, both in athletics and studies. It is my wish that if financially possible, all departments, both new and old, be equipped so thoroughly, and with such modern equipment that our school will rank sec- ond to none in the state. MR. THEODORE W. MARKWORTH, Des Plaines tiMm'ne, Maine, Gain, Reign! uMaine is destined to become one of the most efficient schools in Illinois, says Mr. Markworth. It has only to follow the course laid out for it by men who have made the study of education their life occupation, and it will not fail to reach the desired goal. Our football team is already the Red Grange 0f the Conference. Our graduates have no trouble in making their presence known in most gratifying scholarly ways at the colleges. Without the unnecessary tinter- ferencel which the school is subjected to at its present location-caused by inadequate buildings, a condition which will be overcome when Maine moves into its new homeeit cannot help but become a school of national reputation? DR. A. M. PURVES, Des Plaines ttGive Maine room and watch her grow? ttOne 0f the most commendable fea- tures at Maine at the present time is the loyal support of the students to their teachers and to each other? says the doctor, and adds, uThe students do not want to be divided between two schools. The best educators in the state have advised one large school. Therefore I heartily endorse the plan for a Central High School. Nine THE GRACES Three Graces were they, long ago, so they say; Much fairer than fairest of flowers in May; Fine Faith, ever true, veiled Wisdom unseen, And Piety too, who knew not she was queen; Forever and aye they may go on and on, Yet PM see them all three, wherever theylve gone; My steps shall incline toward all that is fine, But Illl linger where art and music refine; Grand thoughts and kind deeds I shall lovingly trace, Face to. face I shall find them in beauty and grace; Where two souls are but one in communion divine, There the ties of true love they'll securely entwine; When last they were seen they were near you, Sweetheart, So I wisely surmise their new home is your heart; Three Graces are they, with you may they stay Forever, nor ever may tarry away; Fine Faith, ever true, veiled Wisdom, unseen, And Piety too, who knows not she is queen.

CLASSES O the outer eye, our school is sustained by stone and mortar, but Within there are four sturdy pillars by whose strength Maine really stands. These are her hope, her claim to fame, her power-the Classes. For one hundred years more, Maine will not have another class of 26; therefore, we, the Senior Class, feel that this year has been ours. But What we have accomplished we could not have done alone. To Miss Lewerenz and Mr. Butts, our sponsors during this last year, we give an especial amount of credit. We express our gratitude to all who have been our sponsors: to Miss Parolini, the coach of our Senior Play; to Miss Annin for our Pioneer; to our athletic coaches for the West Suburban League Championship; t0 the faculty manager and advisers on the Maine Board for its increasing influence; to Miss Chap- man for our Quill; and lastly to Mr. Himel, who, through all the time we have been here, and long before that, has worked to make Maine ttThe Best Little School in Illinoisf Sixteen ,1; FITZGERALD GLENN BAIRD H X 44 Justice with grave justices f hall sit, praises their wisdom, they ad- mire his wit?

MAINE HONOR SOCIETY The Maine Honor Society is a branch of the National Honor Society, an organization for high schools similar to the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Psi for colleges. This year, of the twenty-five composing the first quarter of the class, fifteen were chosen by the teachers for the Honor Society. The students are elected for their scholarship, leadership, character, service, and general ability. Each teacher, after receiving a list of the first quarter arranged alphabetically, gives each one on the list the rank he thinks each deserves. Those elected this year are: STANLEY ALEXANDER FLORENCE FITZGERALD ALICE ANDERSON MORA HIMEL GLENN BAIRD BEATRICE KRAFT MARSHALL BALLING ANTOINETTE LAUER ARNOLD CROWELL HELEN LENEHEN META ESDALE ELAINE SHAY LUCILE FISHER LLOYD STOW J, GEORGE WEBSTER Thirty-five YE CHILDREN'S CLASSICS FOR LITTLE FOLKS SERIES I The Senior Class, children , or Mr. Butts. it is gre at because Pronounce carefullx child Pen. so youmust not cryDon'fyou GLENN BAniD.

THE SONG OF THE JUNIORS By Ignatius Galantin Our class is large, but true and tried; Our oflicers are the best; And Freshies use their freedom, When Juniors are at rest. Our fortress is the dear Maine High; Our marks with labor bought; We know the campus round us As all good Juniors ought, We know the halls, the leaned-on lockers- As green as the Freshies that pass With a timorous, awesome glance-a And too the forty minute class. Woe to the stubborn Juniors Who fail to study here; On them shall fall in June time A strange though sudden fear, When, waking to their marks so low, They grasp their books in vain, For they Will all remain a year In a Junior class again. And those Who pass in safety deem A mighty year ahead And hear the tramp 0f Sophomores Who follow in their stead. Well knows the fair and friendly Maine That class that all Maine heedse The splendor of their triumphs The wonder of their deeds. lTis life to see their heroes bold Upon the football field Where Raffel, Knabb and Davis Cause the enemy to yield; Where Parish, Behm and Carle, Wegner and many more Tear through the line to Victory Amid a mighty roar. Wise men there are in the Senior Class, Wise men and maidens too; Their hopes on Juniors settled They know WhO,ll carry through The aims that they fall short of. All tasks they leave undone The Juniors will accomplish; Hard work to themls but fun. They sing, they dance, they everything Till Sophs and Freshmen tell Since Mainels been in existence Nothing has been done so well.

Mainiumit know that swearing in this sacred institution of learning is as popular and prevalent as silence in the locker rooms! Today we represent an extinct race of sofa- mowers; why with Dinosaur eggs at a million each, we are priceless; in fact our ego has mounted to such heights that we,ve almost decided to offer ourselves to some deserving museum! Apparently, we seem just an ordinary tribe of pursuers of knowledge but confidentially, we are the famous Lost Battalion! Sh-edontt tell any- one, but a well known Sophon already anticipates the capture of his sheepskin; for we heard him pray to Jove that his mortar board wouldntt slip off his classic ears; now therets the Fifth Horseman who always carries a pony to ride Caesar, and then thereis Plato,s only rival Who spends sleepless nights attempting to solve the proverbial enigma, ttWill Mutt ever be as tall as Jeff .w There aren't many Shakesperian celebrities but just enuf nTo be or not to be,s, to make a few of us impatient scholars wonder why some folks never can make up their minds!

Here is the story one of them relates concerning this event: HI was hur-ry-ing to sch- ool as fast as I could. I was a-fraid the bell had rung. Just as I reach-ed the sch-ool gr-ounds a gr-ea-t b-i-g sen-ior ye-ll-ed out loud-ly, Oh look at the gr-een le-monlli I look-ed up inl-to the gi-an-t trees by the ro-ad but not a gr-een le-mon could I see 3, Soon we found out the thing to do was to get a class president, so we did.And we have all the other class officers, too! I tell you we're some classy class! ttStep right up and call us Speedyft We started out with a whizz and a bang and gave a party for ourselves, which was the first cele- bration of the year. We didnlt give the poor sophs a chance to make fools of us at a Freshman Welcome as has been the custom here. When live hundred lolly- p-ops and a jazz orchestra were ordered all was set for the hop. With keen interest we delved into the mysteries of journalism and created a new feature in the Maine Pioneer, known as the Fresh- man Spotlight. This is being edited exclusively by our own freshman staff. The football season brought another hit of sunshine into the fresh- man routine when Clifford Schultz, Orland Mabee, Charles Maas and Howard Coash ttmade the teamtt and earned the much coveted light- weight letter. The basketball games are now in full swing and our freshman teams are doing well. We have some fme players who are known for their good sportsmanship and good team work. We hope to continue with this spirit through the next three years at Mame- ELMIRE BROWN.

Other great teams have been produced at Maine but the 1925 eleven is, and always will be a source of deep pride to anyone interested in Maine Township athletics. Starting the season With a well-earned Victory over Deerfield-Shields, the eleven began a victorious march through eight teams. The consistent, versatile play of the team and the fine work of Coach Fisher made possible a finish as triumphant as the beginning. The seasonts record shows that the team was powerful in every respect. The line was probably the strongest in the league; every man was a fighter Who could step out and give the ball carrier interference or back up to knock down a forward pass. Five linemen were given places on the all-league first or sec- ond team and two were given honorable men- tion. The backfield, one of the best ever seen at Maine, was headed by Mahn and Kennicott, two of the brightest stars developed by Coach Fisher.

As usual, a large crowd of fellows from all four classes roamed the field in practice at the start of the year, and after the lightweight or second team was picked, a good many of these found action in the an- nual freshman-sophomore game. The lightweight men were put under the direction of Mr. Hagen, a new coach at Maine, who immediately began work to develop a team which he and the school as a whole hoped and felt would be able to withstand a schedule that contained several ttstiftw games at home and abroad. How successful they were is shown in the record of their battles. Arlington Hgts... 0 Hinsdale .............. 0 Downers Grove. 6 Glenbard ............

Sixty-fivc Sixty-six SENIOR HEAVYWEIGHTS When the 1926 football season opens, Maine fans will rejoice to see again on the field a number of men who helped to make the 1925 team an un- defeated one. But among the players of next year Owe shall miss eight valuable men who graduate this year. WEBSTER tCenteri George Webster, who played center on the vic- torious heavies, was known throughout the league as an accurate passer and a hard fighter. Nothing is more encouraging to a fast backfield than to have holes through which to gain and a center who can be relied upon to pass the ball where it can be handled most easily. Webster filled both quali- fications. He was given honorable mention by the West Suburban League coaches. MAHN, Captain tHalf-backi Carl Mahn, the fastest back on the team and one of the best football players Maine has ever seen per- form, was as much feared by the teams in the league as any other player. Mahnis specialty, which was running the ends, gave him enough points to lead all scorers in the Chicago District. ttMutt had a habit of crouching behind his interference until the closest tacklers were taken out and then outrunning the remaining second line defenders. Maine fans will never forget his playing in the Deerfield game. To cap his success, ttMutth was made Captain of the all-league team. KENNICOTT, Captain tFull-backi Maine is proud of tiAmmy. Due to his all-round ability he was one of the most outstanding players on the team. Furthermore he has rightfully been proclaimed as the greatest full-back Maine has ever had. Opposing coaches and fans knew their line was in for a tough afternoon if Kennicott walked on the field clad in his familiar grin and battle-scarred jersey. His exceptional line-hitting ability gave him preference on the All-West Suburban League team. PURVES tQuarter-backi Sam as a backfield man was light but game. In calling signals he possessed fine judgment and in carrying the ball around the ends was never known to flinch when his interference left him.' All these qualities, together with his remarkable speed, made Purves a mighty factor in many of our big Victories. HALL tEndi Hall was given his big chance in the Glenbard game. iiShyii played the whole game at end and his shiftiness enabled him to cope with such a flashy runner as Glenbard possessed in Tillman. Through- out the season Hall did good work at end besides some fine offensive playing in the form of drop-kicks after touchdowns. Even though he did not play as much as the other wingmen he was given honorable mention in the all-league selections. ROZELLE tTacklei Rozelle played his first game for Maine against Deerfield in the initial game of the season. A mediocre player would have had a big job Winning a place at tackle but Rozelleis great height coupled With a determination to get his man cinched that job for him. A tackle position on the All-West Sub- urban second team was waiting for Frank at the conclusion of the season. tiDutchi, was the king of the three great ends Coach Fisher had at his disposal during the past season. Enemy backs were few who could success- fully navigate around his end for large gains more than once or twice in a game. Griebel could side- step interference skillfully and then by his speed nail the ball-carrier. The vote was almost unanimous that gave him the position of Suburban League left- end. PASSARELLI tEndi A great amount of Passarellfs success as a wing- man, GriebePs mate, can be attributed to his strength and hard working qualities. It was a mighty good tackle who could slow up tiPassit by merely getting in front of him, and no matter how hard he was hit he nearly always went through with his attempts at smashing interference. Passis foot- ball career ended well as he was picked on the sec- ond league team as an end. GRIEBEL tEndi Sixty-seven Top Row: WEGNER, MAHN, FISHER, Jon MICK 2nd Row: WEBSTER, HAGEN, Coach, CLEMENTS HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL A great deal of interest was attached to the opening of the basket- ball season, due to the fact that Maine was starting out with a new coach and practically a new team, only two veterans being left from last years heavies. This interest quickly turned to enthusiasm, and everyone was satisned When our team won its first game against Libertyville, 22-20. The schedule that followed was far from easy, but in spite of numerous hard-luck defeats the team worked up a sea- son record of ten games won and ten lost with the addi- tional gaining of a tie for a third place in the West Sub- urban League standing. Mr. G. A. Hagen, who replaced Mr. Butts as briga- dier-general, proved from the start to be a coach pop- ular with the boys, while his methods gave the West Sub- urban Conference reason for recognizing our teams as teams of merit.

The school is all the more proud because the five was limade over by Coach Hagen who took four mediocre players and with Petterson, the only veteran, developed a team that rose from uncertain depths to championship heights. The lights ripped through a schedule of nineteen games with only four losses, two of these coming after tough overtime periods.

CROWELL, KRAKORA, SPENCE, WEBSTER, HANCK, DAHLMAN, EARLE, Coach. SENIOR SWIMMING Coach Earle spent much time with the senior swimming squad and the result was a highly satisfactory, although not brilliant, record for the season. Maine defeated her strong rival, Rockford, a feat which always brings satisfaction because of the diiference in size of the two schools. At the New Trier meet Maine finished third with 16 points, two behind the second place winners, Lane Tech. of Chicago. Captain George Webster, Frederick Horn, and Clifton Spence were the big point getters of this years team. VVebts history as a star sprint swimmer dates back to his freshman year when he was gaining first places for the junior squad. Ever since, he has done well but this year his back-stroke performances were especially noteworthy. A second place in the back-stroke and a third in the 40 yd. crawl were his share for Maine in the New Trier meet. Horn also started early as a swimmer. ttFritzt, swam on the junior team for two years where he was a dependable man in the 40 yd. crawl and in relay events. This year, however, he was Main,s best bet in the 100 yd. freestyle and it was in this race that he garnered most first places. His work in the relay and shorter distances was of the best. Maine will miss him next year. ttChicktt Spence, by winning the plunge at New Trier, gives every earmark of filling the places left open by his brother Harry and the great Dan Gates of last year. He has two more years left in which to increase his ability in the water. Alexander, A. Crowell, C. Crowell, J. Conte, Hall, and Ray are seniors who will bid farewell to Mainets pool in June. Alextt was a good back-stroker; A. Crowell, a dependable man in the relay, and C. Crowell and Joe Conte were divers. Hall, like Webster and Horn, started as a freshman luminary, but was a member of the team this year orfly for the first one or two meets, after which he confined his efforts to basketball entirely. Ray was Spencets mate in the plunge. The record for the season follows: Maine defeated Morton 33-26, Evanston 33-26, Rockford 31-28 but lost to Evanston 37-22 and to Oak Park 33-26. . ' The personnel of the team was: Plunge, Spence and Ray; 40 yd. crawl, Webster, Hall, Horn; back-stroke, Webster, Alexander; 100 yd. freestyle, Horn, A. Crowell; relay, Krakora, Horn, Webster, A. Crowell, Hall, and Alexander; diving, J. Conte, Ci Crowell; breast-stroke, Avery and Hanck. Seventy 24M NORTH, Mgr., BJORK, TRAUBE, FISHER, GILMORE, FRANTZ, KLEINER, EARLE, Coach JUNIOR SWIMMING The junior swimming team experienced little success this year, losing all four of its meets. Morton beat our squad 26-24, Oak Park, 28-22 and Evanston twice, 36-14 and 35-15. The members of the team and the events in Which they swam are as follows: 40 yd. crawl, Carle, Gilmore, Fisher, Kleiner; 40 yd. breast- stroke, Spiegler, Carle; plunge, Dahlman, Franz, and Bjork; 40 yd. back stroke, Franz, Fisher; diving, Carle and Gilmore; relay, Kleiner, Fisher, Carle, Gilmore, and L. Anderson. Even though they went without a Win all year the juniors were, through diligent practice, preparing themselves for places on a future senior team that Will more than avenge the losses of this year. Coach Earle realized this in encouraging the boys to stay out for the team and practice as hard as they could. Franz, a freshman, improved greatly in the backstroke, While as a plunger he took second against Evanston and third in the senior meet With Rockford. Kleiner and Dahlman as neW- comers to the squad also showed great improvement in the crawl and plunge respectively. BASEBALL What the coming baseball season Will bring is hard to predict. Lemke, this years captain, has not returned to school and his absence leaves a big gap at shortstop Which Will be hard for Coach Walp to fill. Then too, the second base problem is far from being a cinch as here too inexperienced men Will have to battle for the post. Summing up the situation it looks as though Maine should have a bright season if a smooth infield combination can be found, and the team as a Whole come through With some hard and fairly consistent hitting. For pitchers Mr. Walp has Coash, Grimberg, and Douglass, the latter a newcomer to the squad. Coashis big asset is his experience under fire and this With his good right arm should help fill the Wide open spaces on the pitching staff. Grimberg, although small, uses his weight to ad- vantage, and, if his last years box work means anything, he Will be able to stick on the rubber for at least seven innings against average hitters. The infield situation looks unsettled and a trifle gloomy. Martinson is doped to fill the gap at short to the best of his ability, Behm Will cover third base, Anderson and Clements first sack and probably Weiss 0r Passarelli at second. Mahn, leading hitter last year, Will more than take care of the catching end of the team, although he could be used in the infield and Raffel or Mabee stuck behind the plate. The reliable ttSWede2 Petterson in left field, Griebel in center and Knabb, Glaub 01' Wegner in right are the outfield candidates.

TRACK Captain Sam Purves Will lead a great track team through the coming 1926 season. Maine this year Will see a team strong in almost every class of events from the Weights to the distances. The Conference Track and Field meet, Which is scheduled to be held at Maine, May 21, will form a climax to the track activities under Coach G. M. Fisher this year. A glance over the personnel of the team is a pleasure to Maine track fans. Purves and Mahn are the nucleus for a strong sprinting squad. Sam and Mutth Will be sure point getters in the 50 and 100 yd. dashes. Sam Will probably run the 220 also. Bob Davis should have no peer in the conference this year in his specialty, the 120 yd. 10W hurdles, While his teammate, McGregor, is also a comer in this event. Beggs, two year holder of the conference championship in the mile run, Will be in readiness to make it three this year. Towne, letter man, Will be Coach Fisheris starter in the half mile. In the pole vault we have Poyer and Burnside, both having some experience in their line. Ulrich, Poyer, Brown, and Schroeder are practicing daily in the high jump and at least one of this quartet ought to deliver as a place winner. Knabb is the lone veteran in the discus and javelin, although other men may develop. Griebel and Mick look like the best men in the high hurdles. Seven ty-two Top Row: SOPHOMOREssNORTH, HANSEN.

It seems that each year the competition grows keener, which means better teams, and this year was no excep- tion. So many girls came out for practice, and all were such excellent players, that Miss Webster and Miss Wolfram could hardly handle the situation. It was decided, however, that each class have two teams, first and second. Four qualincations were chosen as a basis for selecting the teams. First, each player had to come out for practice; second, she had to be swift, and pass the ball accurately; third, she had to be able to shoot baskets from any point of the floor; fourth, she had to play With the team, and not individually. With these in mind, only the best players were chosen for the first teams, and one can easily imagine that the games were exciting. In the finals the seniors were the champions for the year. The juniors came in second, and the freshman third. HOCKEY A great disappointment awaited the hockey players this year. Al- though they were as enthusiastic about playing as they had ever been before, Dame Nature just naturally had to interfere. The weather was raw and cold from the start, and the field was frequently dotted with little pools of muddy water, due to the heavy rainfalls of the season. No games of importance were played and no hockey teams were formed, for the weather so greatly inconvenienced the girls, that they reluctantly left the field and devoted their gymnasium periods to the art of baseball until the basketball season began.

THE SENIOR FIRST TEAM For three consecutive years, the seniors have won the class cham- pionship. To the members Who make up the excellent team that this year defeated all of its opponents we wish to introduce you. Margaret Hanck, who had hitherto played forward, was chosen as center. She is tall and strong, is almost always able to get the tip at center, and she is a tower of strength to her team. Lillian Petterson, who has been in obscurity, suddenly beamed forth as side center. She has great ability, is swift, and is a great help- mate to her center. Eleanor Freese, who has always played forward, is the right hand of her team. She is swift as lightning and can shoot a basket from any part of the fioor without fail. Gladys Schweitzer is an excellent forward. She can stand punish- ment and inflict it with equal force. She can crash through any defense. In fact, she can do anything well and she is a great team-mate t0 Eleanor Freese. Thelma Avery and Pearl June are some of the best all around guards in the basketball teams. They can stop any player they go up against and are everything that topnotch guards should be: keen, alert, and swift.

It is rumored that if the girls keep up their splendid work in this line, the teachers Will have them examined in June by an expert Life Saver from the Life Saving Corps of Chicago. It has been decided that there shall be no swimming meets held this year between the girls and boys as has been the practice in former years. Instead, the girls are to have interclass meets; namely, J uniors-Seniors against Sophomores-Freshmen. Seventy-fi've mUSlGWDRAmA BEAUTYhthat is the thing! And what is more beautiful than these?

DE CUNNELlS CUTTON CROP By KENNETH BARLOW itLawsy Chile, de way yol ax me fol stolies am a shame fol a fact! Ah bllieves yo, has axlt me fol a millium already. I know Aunty, but I havent found a soul that can tell them as well as you can, and I want to hear them allf' ttGo lway Chile! Yol must hab kissed dat Blimy Stone dat Ah heared de plumber talkinl about! Well, set yol down ant pay de strickest ltenshun, ant Ahlll tell yo, ibout de dis,pealance ob de Cunnells crop? The girl, a pleasant faced miss of about twenty, with thoughtful brown eyes, and a superb mass of jet black hair, expectantly seated herself in the rickety old swing. Aunty had been, in days not long gone, a slave on the plantation of Colonel Longworth. After the Civil War the Colonels health had broken. Bit by bit the old plantation had been sold to meet ex- penses, and With the failure of several crops in a row the last of the planta- tion had gone into the hands of the receivers. Now a family of Northern interlopers occupied the big house and Aunty was peacefully ending her days in this cozy little shack on the edge of the Village. Shifting about in the swing, which creaked With every movement as though in danger of collapsing, and muttering to herself in deep reverie, Aunty relit her pipe and started her story. De Cunnells son was a Wile one, always losinl at calds o, fightinZ 0, up to some develini De Cunnells heait nigh busted to think dat his boy should be such a terror. But When de boy loss a great pile ob money at one ob de big house patties, de Cunnel was thlu. Lawsy! I neval thought sich a mile man could get so het up! Dey lsputed all ovah de place. Finally de Cun- nel oldeld de boy off de place anl toll him not to come back. De Cunnel paid his sons debts, and de boy lef. ilOl, Man Yeah stahted to weah his-self out an de pickinl season stahted to get close. Perfecl cotton weathah had raised de Cunnelis hopes a millium miles in de aih. Once moah de place was agoinl to be a place ob me,iment. Long in Octobah de cotton stahted to Huff out into one ob dese seas ob white. One night a gawgeous full moon come apeepin, up ovah de trees, and tuhned de cotton to silver. Down in de valleys de haze was gatherin, ant thin lines ob smoke was aclimbinl fum de chimbleys ob de niggahsi shacks. De yaller cohn was gittinl ripe anl a breeze was rustlini de leaves lak some ghoslses was talkinl to each 0thah. Somewheah a lazy, happy, good-foh-nothinl niggah was strummin, a banjo ant singin, a mawnful song. Evly thing was so peaceful anl quietlak dat no one would guess dat Oll Man Trouble was jest waitint roun, de cohneh. ttLong lbout midnight de hounls set up a mawnful howlinl jes, lak some body had up an died. Rastus, he done shet dem houn,s up once 0, twice, an den went out to see what fol dey was howliny labout. Lawsy! de way dat niggah come arunninl back yol would think dat all ob Creation was cominl to any enl! Yol would foh a facl! Dat niggah was so scaled dat he couldnl say one wuld but jesl pointed to de fiel's. ltAh went ant took a look, knowini how skittish-lak Rastus was, an lpon mah soul Ah nevah seen sich a queah sight as Ah set eyes on in dem fiels. Eighty-eight Right out dah in de bright moonlight was a millium monkeys stealinl de Cunnells cotton crop! Ah jes, took to mah heels ant didnlt stop ttil Ah was to de udder side de plantashun. ttAftah a long time Ah snuk back an took a look at dem monkeys. Dey was lbout hatf de size ob a man an Ah would hab laff at de lakness to Rastus dat dey was, only Ah was too scaied to. All night long dey wutked in de fiels. De Cunnel was away ovah to de next plantashun ant dere was jes one white man ant de pickers on de place. De ovah seeah went into de fiels an dat was de last dat we saw ob him. Long towahd mawnin, de Cunnel got back. When he heahd what had happent he mos, swelled up an busted. He made us all go to de house ant stahted to question us. Ah tell yol, missy, de Cunnel was shuah stumped. He tutns on me sudden an says: tt tMonkeys! Monkey business! Who evah heared tell of monkeys stealint de bettah paht of a cotton crop ?l Den he jes, sohta slumped down in his chaih. Rastus, he tlowed dat he saw dem load de cottin on a ship, an, dat dey took de cottin up to de man in de moon. Knowiny him lak Ah do, Ah jest donlt take no stock in his stoty. If yoh ax mah ,pinion, Ah would say dat de Cunnells son was de biggest monkey in de lot? The creak of the swing broke in on the hush following the end of the narrative. Dreamily the girl lifted a hand to her hair. Once again as on that memorable evening, a great full moon was creeping up over the tree tops. Common-place things vanished, and in their stead were the great broad fields of cotton, shining silver under the soft cold light of the moon. Before her eyes marched a horde of swart pigmies, of a race found only in far Africa. Again the negro shacks were Visible. She seemed to hear the mournful howling of the hounds and a faint smile crossed her face as she Visioned the terror that must have set upon Rastus. The old voice of Aunty broke in upon her reverie: - ttYol bettah run tlong home now, Chile, 0t yol mammy will staht to wohie ovah yoT' Eighty-nine LIFE,S LITTLE TRAGEDIES By ALICE JUDSON Some rhyming lines I have to write; A terrible task, Illl swear, For I know as much of poetry As a heathen does of prayer. I thought Pd try to change this task T0 forty minutes daily, Or else be dropped from English class For acting there too gayly. But I feel I can,t escape this fate, So 111 try to do my best. Illl sit up till wee hours of morn, And my head droops down to rest. Pd like to write as Poe did, And tell of graves nearby, With the lilies waving on them, Beneath a mystic sky. But as it is a WinterIs night, And the lilies all are dead, I guess 111 have to change this plan T0 Bryanfs way instead. N ow Bryant wrote of nature, Of flowers and trickling brooks, Of how he loved to roam alone, Through all her moss-clothed nooks. But it is cold and dreary, And freeze to death I might, If I should go a wandering Through forest depths tonight. Emerson in all his poems A lesson did express. As I didn c learn my lesson I have none then to stress. I guess, you realize now IYes, itls plain to seel That I am here for other things Than writing poetry. SINGAPORE WATERS By GLENN E. BAIRD The dipping sun was red ablaze As far as eye could see, When we anchored off of Singapore Out in the China sea. All day our ship had skimmed along; Strange islands had we passed, And tired by a hard days work Were glad to rest at last. The crew had left me lone on deck, And gone below to sleep; Entranced was I by the silent sight, A picture Itll always keep. East of us lay the quiet bay Of Borneots western porte Twinkling lights shone on the shore, Some cannon I heard from a port. Now and then the sound of bells Far off came to my ear, And cries of passing birds, as they Went gliding far and near. To north and south the blue sea stretched, With not a sail in sight; Far west a glimpse of Malay shore Showed dimly in the night. And now, at times, when I have cares, I wish with all my might That I could drift in magic ship Off Singapore at night. 5ng gm; Ninety-onc N inety-two NIGHT By EDWINA RICKETTS The orange-red sun is sinking, Behind the hill-top grey; And purple opiate vapors, Foretell the close of day. From behind a stately cedar, The new moon beams afar; And cradled in her outstretched arms, Is a tiny baby star. The south Wind breathes a story, Of land both far and near; Hels my sweetheart, little elf, Who whispers in my ear. The lake is softly murmuring, A language all its own, Of life in unknown countries, And places far from home. The shadows now have lengthened; From the hill-tops, gone the sun; The purples, blues, and crimsons, Have blended all in one. The whole world now is drowsy; No more are colors bright, As swiftly, silently oler us, Descends the robes of night. CARE-FORGOTTEN LANE By ELLA HAHN At sunset time, near Drowsyville, Forgetful of all pain, The tiny elves from yonder hill Haunt Care-Forgotten Lane. They seem to have a magic power On sweethearts young and true, The potence of some nodding flower, The sunls red glow 0n waters blue. Perhaps ltis but the mystic charm Of nature near repose Which tempts the youth to let his arm So gently round her close. But only fairies could have dreamed Of tempting him to thise- In Care-Forgotten Lane to steal A Care-Forgotten kiss. 4i l ITgOODs-Xiggw 2 By ROLAND ROSINSKI Most of the time, after I have finished my work around the house or at school, I sit down and pull out all my books, magazines, and literature of all kinds dealing with boats and the water. Then I sit still and start to dream. If I feel happy and satisfied, I think of being aboard my dream cruiser, a boat that I dontt yet own. I cruise over water that is so clear that it sparkles, probe into little bays and inlets, fish, and drive my boat. I Will, when I get my boat, get up before dawn and shove my prow out of the anchorage just as the sun rises. The rays go streaking through the sky, the light clouds g0 scudding by, a background of blue for a setting. The long swell gives a motion to the boat that is indescribably pleasant, s0 satisfying and restful. Then I head for some port, any port, just to get some place. The wind blows so gently, c001 and fresh. No cares or worries. The engine purrs along, coffee is being made in the galley, and then as the port is reached, we anchor, let go the hook, go below and sit down to a real nautical repast. Then I fix up our berths, yank out the bedding and we go to sleep, rocked by the gentle motion of the waves. The end of a perfect day. tAll this is when I feel happy and satisfiedJ But when I am angry about something or at somebody I want to be out at sea in a storm with the rushing, shrieking wind, the waves tower- ing high with a grim, destructive look, so gray, so old, indomitable, un- conquerable. They come down with a roar and crash upon the foredeck, sweep clean all the superstructure, smash to a pulp the windshield, blind and knock down the helmsman, me; nearly drown me. The steering wheel I have to struggle with, a titanic task. Once the boarding seas will push with a rush the bow to starboard; then must I wrestle with the wheel and throw it to port. The spray drenches t0 the skin. I dontt feel anything, only a happiness that I control the eggshell that deiies the elements. The wind blows harder, the waves become taller, the thunder crashes, the lightning flashes and gleams; still more water, the barometer , still falling, darkness, a steady, pelting rain, a downpour! Oh, it is the most satisfying thing to be almost drowned, buffeted, thrown around. Tremendous crashes of thunder to deafen the ears, blinding flashes of light, but in this wilderness of gloom, danger, and seemingly unlimited force of Nature gleams the binnacle light of the compass. A dull glow of radiance, so reassuring, s0 positive in the truth of What it shows. And still the wind roars, but not so loudly. The billows are decreasing in size; a lull comes. Ah, it looks as if it were over, but no! Look to port ea black smudge, then all at once a tremendous, terrible deluge of water, a thunderous, crashing, deafening sound, a world as bright as day, then suddenlyedarkness! The elements have conquered. I am no more, re- member no more. Then when I wake up, gosh all hemlocks, Pm safe in my chair, my anger gone and a restful clean feeling pervades. Then I realize that in my imagination I have battled the elements as once I did, and the remembrance of the trial by Nature has driven the anger out of me. I am now out of dream-land and at peace with everybody. Ninety-three ON SHERMANtS MARCH TO THE SEA The Cast Mrs. Hallowell, a widow ..............................

There ewe no deeonxtions on the roughly painted board walls, and only one rug, a small braided one, 07L which stands a table. 011 this table is one book, a large Bible; beside the table are three home-made wooden chairs. A fourth chair is placed near a window. A sewing basket lies on the floor beside it. tAs the curtain rises Mrs. Hallowell is sewing near the window, rocking rhythmi- cally back and forth as she works. Enter Will hurriedlyj Will-tta1king very fastheMother, Mother, Itts burning! The Blues did it and Mrs. Deal doesntt know what to do! It was Mrs. H.-Now, Will, dear, talk more slowly; I cant understand a word you say. Bring a chair and sit down. tHe does soJ Now go on, dear. Willeltk the Colonelts big house I mean, Mother. The wicked Unioners burnt it down when they found a grey soldier hidden there. The Colonelts wife helped himeso kind she ise-and now she and her chil- dren have no place to go. J ust let those Yankees wait until the Colonel gets back. Hetll fix them, after we win the war. Mrs. H.eYes dear, Pm sure he will-if we win the war. I think- tA soldier in grey, dust-covered and wounded, breaks into the room. He stops as he sees it occupied, draws himself up to a bow, and then slowly sinks to the floor. Both Mrs. Hallowell and her son run to himt. Mrs. HreHeis hurt, Will, hurt badly. Help me carry him unstairs, very quietly so that the little ones wontt know. Here! Will-But, Mother, we mustnt Just think what would happen if the soldiers should come! Mrs. H.eHow can you talk so? If your father had been helped, he would have come back to us. Now we can no longer aid him, but we can fight for his cause. Quick, drag him up into the garret. Itll stay here and watch. tWill leaves with the soldier. Mrs. Hallowell walks back and forth once or twice, then returns to her sewing, but repeatedly looks up and seems to listen. Horses are heard galloping in the distance. Will re- entersj Mrs. H.--Theytre coming! I hear their horses. Sit down there and read the Bible aloud to me. Dontt finger your waist so; act naturally, as if nothing had happened. Try to get your voice lower and more even. That,s better. And remember, dear, that strategy and calmness can often win when arms cannot. tThere are heard horses trotting into the yard, men dismounting, and finally a sword-hilt rattling on the doorJ Ninety-fom' Mrs. HeweryrquietlyieOpen the door, my son. tWill does as requested. Enter Major Turrington, Lane, Brown, and other soldiers. The Major bows deeplyJ Major Tel am Major Turrington of Shermants army, and at your service, Madam. I believe there is a Confederate soldier on your prem- ises, Madam. Mrs. H.etexcitedlyi-A soldier! On my premises? Major TeYes, Madam, a Confederate spy. This man was seen in a grey uniform by my soldiers, and tracked to this place. I ask your per- mission to search your house and grounds, Madam. Mrs. H.eCertainly, Major. Will, show these gentlemen whatever they wish to see. Major Tel thank you. tTurning to the soldiersJ Lane, you and Brown will search the house thoroughly. The rest of you inspect the grounds. I shall remain here until you have finished. tExeunt Will and the soldiers together. Mrs. Hallowell and Major Turrington stand on opposite sides of the room, the former very erectly with eyes staring straight ahead, and the latter With folded arms, his gaze on the ceilingj Major Tetrelaxing his positionJ You are aware, Madam, of the penalty for hiding a spy? You are quite certain that you have seen no Confederate about here? Mrs. HePerfectly aware, sir. Patriotism is becoming a dangerous characteristic. tThe major whistles softly. Both return to their former attitudes. Re-enter Willerather pale-and LaneJ LaneeThe man is here, sir. He is in the garret, sir, where he has just recovered from a swoon. Brown is with him, sir. Major T.-I am sorry, Madam, that this has happened. ttPatriotism is a dangerous practice, as you say. tTurning to LaneJ Lane, you will tell Brown to bring this Confederate to me. tExit Lane. Will crosses to his mother, and puts his arm protectingly about her. Lane re-enters with Brown and the soldier, whose cap is pulled far down over his eyes and whose head is hung lowJ Major Te tsternlyieLook up, man. tHe does soJ Powell! You ehere? How in the world- SoldieretadvancingI-eTurrington, thank God you are here! I was afraid that I would be taken and shot by Union men who did not know.' Oh, thank God, thank God!

SoldiereI am very sorry, Madam, Ia Major T.eHere, Jack, let me explain. Madam, this is Lieutenant J ack Powell of our forces, who, in order to get necessary information, be- came, for a time, a Confederate. He feared men of both armies, for the South learned that he was a spy, and most of our own men thought him a traitor. I fear, Madam, that you have sheltered a Northerner, and, of course, we cannot burn your home for that, even though it was a mistake. N inety- five 0 . Inc::1:1m.::s'w-Vy' v' M Smith $ :K, .- . MW v.

Having for members those men who have earned their letters in heavyweight football, heavyweight basketball and track, managers of these teams, and the coaches, Who are honorary members and act as representa- tives of the principal, the Club has already shown itself worthy to be placed on a level with all Maineis athleticsea high level, indeed. The purpose of the Mii Club will be to promote school loyalty and good Will; to foster only the best ideals of sportsmanship; to raise the standards of athletic competition, and to keep Maineis reputation clean and spotless among her competitors. These things we consider our sol- emn obligation in the keeping of this group as a whole and of each mem- ber as an individual.

ALUMNI Excerpts from itThe History of Maine Township High Schoolii writ- ten by her alumni. 1904 We were the first class that graduated from Maine, and there were but three of us. Our commencement exercises were held in the old audi- torium at Maine. The only public appearance the 'class made during com- mencement week was the evening on which we received our diplomas. There certainly is quite a difference between our commencement and the commencements of the last few classes. IRENE TALBOT. 1905 I remember way back in the beginning of M. H. 8., when the high school board, at the earnest solicitation of our very good friend and prin- cipal, W. L. Smyser, consented to erect poles in the rear of the building and furnish nets so that we might try our skill at basketball. Those of us who were not afraid to appear rather disheveled in the P. M. played with a vim. The vogue of twenty years ag0-long hair worn pompadour and separate waists and skirtse-was not conducive to active sports and did not produce a tiJayii Purves. ' , There was no iigymii then or athletic field, and the only athletics we had were such as might be played in the tischool yard? I know that the class of 126 would not be willing to trade with us, although we weren,t in the least crowded with thirteen in the graduating class. . MARION PERKINS POYER. 1906 The class of 1906 started as freshmen in Park Ridge. Our class has the distinction of being the first to give a Senior Class Play. ' ELSIE ELDER 1907 I remember that the manual training department was under what is now the middle part of the building. There was no floor but the ground. Everyone who took manual training made at least one taboret a year. WILLIAM GRAUPNER. 1908 I remember the itHungry Sevenii club, composed of senior boys, who had a clubroom in the school basement. The iirst class in chemistry be- gan in 1908. Classes of botany and zoology were alternated every year because the high school attendance, at that time, was so small that there were not enough students to support two classes. MAMIE HELLER. 1909 Our class consisted of fifteen members, of whom three were boys. It was customary in those days for the junior class to give an annual picnic for the seniors. Ours was at Lake Zurich. We took the train to Barrington, and rode from there to the lake on hayracks, a very long ride tit would take perhaps fifteen minutes, now, in a cam. We spent the day boating, eating, and taking pictures. I shall never forget how one couple hired a rig, and went driving, much to the envy of the rest of us. Another time our famous Adelphic and Philomethean Societies One hundred fourteen planned a picnic. It rained, but we were equal to the occasion. We had our spread on the Iioor in the upper hall, followed by toasts and dancing. ' a was toastmistressJ Our class play, 1iDiamonds and Hearts, ,i was a great success from a dramatic standpoint. So that it might also be above reproach finan- cially, we all gathered at Annetta Hoffman s home before the performance, and made candy, which we put up in boxes and sold up and down the algles that mght' ETHEL PAINE PERKINS. 1910 On class night, our class presented the play, 11The Lamentable Trag- edy of J ullus Caesar. This was really quite an undertaking for us, be- cause at that time there were no senior plays each year as at present. The stars in the cast were: Lesley Hamen .................................................................... Caesar Erling Lunde ...................................................................... Brutus Elsie Flentge .......................................................... Caesaris wife Hazel Poyer .............................................................. Brutusi wife We all ruined our mothers linen Closets finding sheets for our Roman togas and depleted the kitchens finding pans for the armyis helmets. Boiler covers served as shields. The cardboard swords were painted red on one side. After the murder of Caesar, they were turned over, and the audience beheld the blood. When Caesar was killed, he lay on the stage and sang, iiHere I lie, waiting for the hearse? Then a wheelbarrow was brought in, he was bundled into it, and then dumped off the end of the stage. It was very tragic and pathetic. FRANCES HOLBROOK. 1911 When we were in school the juniors gave a play and used the pro- ceeds to take the seniors on an outing. We took the train to Barrington and then rode on hay racks to Lake Zurich. We had dinner at the hotel and went on a regular picnic. AMY RABSON. 1912 If we, the Class of 1912, were to come back and visit you, I am sure we would be impressed with the marvelous modern improvements that have been added to our Alma Mater since our departure. We wonder if Maine has anything today that equals the enthusiasm that was shown by the members of two literary societies that were founded in the year 1909 and for three or four years were the center of all school activities. We cheered our debaters, fed them, adored them and carried their pictures around with us. Our orations brought forth as much shouting and cheering as a touchdown by the football captain would today. Ask anyone in school at that time whether he was a member of the Philomatheon 01' Adelphic Literary Society. He will remember and per- haps sing you one of our old songs. Ask Miss Lewerenz. Donit think for a moment that we spent all our energies on our literary talents. We were ardent supporters at. every baseball, basket- ball, and football game. To be sure we played basketball in a hall over a saloon and had to spend a week coaxing our mothers for permission to play before each game, but nevertheless our loyal support of the team was never lacking. One hundred fifteen We also had to walk a mile to our athletic field in order to watch a baseball or football game. That added zest to the game, and gave us more power to sing our songs and give our yells. And then too we couldnit hop into a bus or a kind friendis car when we wanted to attend an athletic meet in one of our rival towns. Do you realize that in the class of 1912 there was only one boy whose father owned a car? A ride in a motor car was rare and exciting. Of course we had to resort to some other method of getting to the games. Have you ever driven to Maywood in a hayrack? If not, you have missed the time of your life. You have to allow a full day and half a night to get there and back, but there is nothing like it for creating the. proper spirit for a football or baseball game. Try it and find out for yourself. We of the Class of 1912 congratulate Maine and the wonderful show- ing it has made of late on the athletic field and in its academic work. Keep it up and add a little of the old time enthusiasm.

LUCILE ALLISON, Editor. 1914 An alumnus is expected to moralize, I believe, with a wise and know- ing air, and a sort of general spreading around of cheery remarks like, ffWhen I was there, we didnit do that. Well, we didnt; that is, we did not do some of the things. Some of the things we did not do were not done because the very year after we left, Maine added the gymnasium, among other changes, and acquired the athletic field somewhere along the way. But we never felt the lack of a ffgym, for hadn,t we a choice of two halls for our games? And couldnit we pack as much school spirit as' the building regulations allowed in both halls? Even after ten years, there is a thrill and a feeling of pride in the One hundred sixteen heart of an alumnus Who finds the banners won during his time at Maine on the assembly walls. , And the pictures of the basketball teams of the same years bring back all the enthusiasm and ttWetre-Loyal-To-You-Maine-Highti-spirit to add to the pride we feel in the splendid big school Maine is now. MILDRED FORSYTH. 1915 Our class was the first one to graduate in the new auditorium. While the assembly was being built, the new gym was used as a study hall. Showers were also added to the athletic department in 1915. Two lit- erary Societies, Adelphic and Philomathian, composed of various debating teams, afforded much amusement and education for the Maine students at that time. These clubs were introduced several years before and ended in 1915. Being the last secretary of the clubs, I am in possession of a very interesting record of all the previous meetings. Would Maine like to . . 7 , add th1s book to her library . MARION HODGINS. 1916 I remember that each of us had an assigned desk in the assembly where we kept our books. Everyone tried to get a seat as far back as possible. You can imagine the flurry and hurry between classes with all of us in the assembly getting our books for the next class. EMMA MELZER. 1917 When I look back on my freshman year at Maine, I do not remember the school as it now is, but as a rather square building. The wings were not yet built. The manual training department was Where the boiler room now is. The assembly hall took in the physics room, Miss Parolinits English room, and the center of the hall. The office was where the rest room now is. Miss Chapmants room, the algebra room, and the six rooms upstairs were the recitation rooms. The rest of the school was completed in 1915. 1918 The funniest thing I remember was when Maine played Evanston in, baseball and Bus Bennett, our pitcher, fanned out all the Evanston bat- ters because of his unusually slow pitching. PERCY EARLE. THEODORE KOERNER. 1919 It never had occurred to me what ancient. history took place in the years preceding 1919 until I tried to think back that far. For a fact, I cant remember a thing worth telling about. Oh, of course, there are certain tthigh lightsli that one just cant forget, but theyid hardly do. That black eye Larry Helmick gave me our freshman year, for instance; it seems that it happened only yesterday-but who would care to hear about that, except possibly Larry? Then there was our Senior Playe What a thrill I recall When the charming heroine, Irene Friend, took her aged father tmel to her arms! But I cant elaborate on. that, for Irene is married now, you know! I would like to discuss the pros and cons of that deadly BieschkeeMearns feud, but it is rumored that George has become a middleweight boxing champion, and I am taking no chances -even for the sake of Literature. Major Towne, Adjutant Jochim, Gen- One hundred seventeen eral Pitt, and their snappy band of marines, might form another excellent subject, but military secrets cannot be divulged even at this late date. I could relate the story of 19s famous football triumph over 18, in which our own Buss Harper was the hero of the hour kicking two field goals to win by an 8 to 7 scoreebut one does tire of those ttFrank Merriwelltt stories, donlt you think? Possibly youtd enjoy recalling the memorable day that our inseparable quartet, Mary, Marj, Marian and Irene, had that terrible spat, resulting in weeks of black looks; then how one morning they were found falling on each others necks as of old? But the girls never did tell us the inside story. Now PM just leave you with a thought; something which has been bothering my head all these years. Tell me, could Buzz Bennett really talk louder than Skee Zaleski, or did it just seem that way? ' WENDELL KRAFT. 1920 I remember that we had follies, tank parties, and freak days. These freak days were held once a year and everyone Who wished to might dress up in a freakish costume. This custom was finally given up, owing to the fact that the majority of the pupils paid more attention to the cos- tumes than to their lessons. MABEL LONGLEY. 1921 During my four years at school, the athletic field was bought and the boys and girls had military training. Any high heels were certainly ruined then. One of the most outstanding days of our four years, was the day the armistice was signed. GRACE BAIRD. 1922 One of the experiences I remember most vividly happened only a short time after we entered as freshmen. It was the day for assigning seats. Because we were only freshmen, and could occupy only front seats, we were the last to be placed, and stood conspicuously around the huge assembly under the scrutinizing eyes of the upper classmen. Pm afraid our greenness was well emphasized. Of course, the Freshmen Welcome, our first high school party, Where we had to wear huge green hair bows and neckties was most exciting. We were more than welcomed and made to feel right at home. The parties that we gave as a class were great fun because of the weeks spent in decorating. Making huge hearts and cupids, big black cats and witches, endless rufliing and tearing of crepe paper for stream- ers, was almost more exciting than the party night itself. I am sure all Mainites will look back at the football, baseball, and basketball games as the best ever. We always had a fairly good turn- out, and tried to let the team know it by our yells. And the annual bas- ketball spread that only the teams, boys and girls were privileged to at- tend! Pep always climbed high at such times. I must not forget to mention the annual Follies which were always so exciting, because, for once, at least, the boys could hardly restrain their curiosity. They always pretended not to be at all interested, but we knew they were. a I shall never forget the extemporaneous speeches in general assembly. One hundred eighteen Each tried his best to hide behind the other, and knees became uncomfort- ably wobbly, as Mr. Himel glanced over the room. I can not omit the formation of the Maine Board and Honor Society in our Senior year, because that was a very important step in Mainesl improvement. Because it was the first year, the Maine Board did not accomplish as much as, I am sure, it now does, but we did our best to give it a start. I liked Maine especially because everyone knew every one else; be- cause the school spirit was high and sports were clean; because the gen- eral honor and atmosphere of the school were a credit to the township; and because the teachers were personally interested in all their pupils. ETHEL M. WOODY. 1923 Every class take it for granted that it has been the best class that ever graduated from Maine. And, of course, we were no exception to the rule. tAt that we werenlt badJ Above all, I remember our senior play. We had a great deal of fun and learned much While we were rehearsing. As some of you Will re- member the play was ttIt Pays to Advertisell and it surely proved its name. In 23, the whole school gave a circus. We had everything from a strong man act to a dramatic farce. And way back in 21, we had a mock weddingea take-off on the long delayed wedding of Mary Landon Baker and Allister McCormick. Last but not least, by fare-the faculty. One does not realize until he has been out of school a while, just how much the faculty does for a stu- dent- JOHN H. ESDALE. 1924 Maine has turned out some very clever classes, but none have been able to rival speedy 24. Once even we were convinced that we were too speedy, the time we were returning from the memorable senior outing at Channel'Lake- AGNES DURHAM. ' 1925 The majority of us enjoy the things we are accustomed to rather than the prospect of something new and strange. I dont believe I ever real- ized m ,fondness for Maine so much as I did that morning last fall on which; listarted out at five olclock through the darkness and rain in an old FOrd to drive 'to a strange school. Several times that morning before it became light, I wished that I were registering back at old Maine where I knew my way around and was on speaking terms with almost every- body. I Now, after being an inquisitive and very green ttfroshll for seven months, I am beginning to know something about Michigan. The longer I stay here the more I like it. I can only hope that I shall enjoy Michigan as much as I did Maine and that memories of Michigan will be as pleasant. - HARVEY TALCOTT. V II a! One hundred nineteen TOP! Red light.

One hundred twenty-five iITHE POOR LIZZIE With Apologies to Lowell The anw had begun in the morn- 111g, And busily all the night The little Ford had plugged along In silence?eno, not quite. Every bolt, every nut, every bumper Wore ermine too dear for a squire, And the poor sap at the steering- wheel Was covered inch deep with mire. I stood and watched by the win- dow The noiseless work of the sky, And heard the groans of iipoor Lizziei, As she went painfully by. Up spoke our own little Mabel Saying, ttSis, what is that ter- rible noise ?i, And in trembling tones I told her That poor ItLizziei, had lost her poise. Again I looked at the snow-fall And thought of that terrible sight, A poor fellow arched over the wheel, Driving With all his might. I remembered a time on the road, Out of gas, and with a fiat tire, When I, too, had been like this sap, Ridged inch deep in the sticky mire. And again to Sis I whispered, ttMy dear, take my advice And dont ever take a Lizzie out And get stranded on the ice? One hundred twenty-six Then with eyes that saw not I bade her Bring another log for the grate, And I sat down and gave my thanks That such was not our fate. GRACE MOWAT.

How she Charlestons, Charles- tons, Charlestons, In the smoky air of night! While the orchestra is playing And the couples keep on swaying In the dimly shaded light; Keping time, time, time, As if dancing on a dime, While the pessimistications that the wallflowers foretell Begin to swell, swell, swell, swell, swell, swell, swell, At the smoking and drinking 0f the belle. Oh, those olden days are past, gone at last! Now, instead of horse and buggy driving us so fast, We go rattling, rattling, rattling In the iiivver, through the night. Yes, we hear the echoes ringing, As we joyfully keep singing, That we wont be home tonight!

I smell in the Itlab,, round about me The odor of foul HBS, The stench of some terrible mix- ture, The name of Which no one can guess. From my desk I see in the sun- light, Inhaling the smoke laden air, Dumb Margaret and still dumber Griebel, And Sam With the sleek, jet- black hair. A crash and then a dead silence, Yet I know by Miss CassidyIs eyes They have wrecked experiment twenty, In spite of being so wise. A sudden gush from the retort, A sudden hissing of steam, On books and clothes left un- guarded The acid pours out in a stream. It flows oter the desk to my note- book, Round the table and over my clothes; If I try to run it surrounds me, And eats up my best pair of hose. A beaker then starts in to topple And falls on my toes With a Whine, One hundred twenty-eight Till I think of the khaki-clad doughboys Who kept time by the watch on the Rhine.
