In English 1' and II the chief aim is to help the pupil form Correct habits of oral and written expression. In order to develop literary appreciation, four or five Classics are read each year. Miss W'helan and Mr. May---Who succeeded Miss Schoenbeck at the beginning of the second semester-tcach the fresh- man groups. The sophomore classes are taught by Mrs. Czilvzlrm and Mr. May. In the third and fourth years an effort is put forth tQ maintain the skill Acquired in oral and written English. The emphasis is laid on the apprecia- tion of literature itself. In the third year, American literature, with :1 brief survey of the nations literary achieve- ments, is taught by Miss Thmlini. In the fourth year, English literature with its history is taught by Miss Chapman. Miss CHAPMAN Mus. GALVARRO Miss iVHIiLAN Miss SCHOENIEECK SOCIAL SCIENCES The social sciences for which Mainek students may enroll are an- cient history, taught by Miss VX701- frum; modern history, Miss Ryan; United States history, Miss Ryan and Mr. North; civics. Mr. North. The old-fzishioned memorizing of dates and hundreds Hf minor incidents is Sub- ordinated t0 the more important move- ments and developing principles and practices that characterize nations or periods. To make the life of yesterday warm with the human element, to make it a living thing, rich with valu- able experience fof people of the pres- ent, these are the objectives that guide this department in the selection of its texts and teaching methods. The citizenship course is a well ar- ranged cross-section of the life of to- day. in its Civic, social, and economic interests. It aims to acquaint the stu- dent with the world in which he is to practice his citizenship. MR. NORTH Miss WOLFRAM MISS RYAN 17 MR5. XVAtn 'ER MR. CRATON MR. XVAIJ' The purpose at Maine of teaching science to high school students is tn to furnish :1 fund of scientiflc informa- tion that will help pupils interpret their environment; Qt to instill in young minds the habit of thinking from cause to effect and back from effect to cause. It is the aim of the department to pre- sent a knowledge of science through a four year course 215 a coherent story, related to personal and civic welfare. The chapters in this story are general science, told by Mrs. Wagner, Mr. VValp, and Mr. Craton. Mr. Craton continues the story with a summary of the biological chapter. Mr. Walp re- lates the wonders of physics and agri- culture; and Miss Cassidy brings the story to a close With the life of plants and the miracles of Chemistry. - M A T H E M A T I C S A11 freshmen who enter Maine enroll for algebra. According to their ability, they are grouped in A classes, taught by Mr. Earle; in B and C Classes taught by Mrs. Skillen; and in CD classesethose needing extra. helpe taught by Mr. Fisher. Geometry, taught by Mr. McCul- Iom, is one of the sophomore subjects. The curriculum for the upper classes offers the following courses in mathe- matics; third year, advanced algebra and solid geometry; fourth year, plane trigonometry and college algebra. Mrs. Wagner instructs in these subjects. The aims of the curriculum are: tn to provide a complete four year course in mathematics; at to give an intro- duction to college mathematics; t3 to afford opportunity for as much mathe- matical training as possible to those students who do not go to college. MRS, SKILLEN MIL MCCULLUM KI R. EARLF. '18 Mr. Kratt supervises all the music at Maine. With a hundred piece band, a forty piece orchestra, a large chorus, and a class in the theory of music his day is a full one. In two years of French tFrench I, Mr. Galvarro; French 11, Mrs. .Grimmi the pupils are expected to gain a fair reading knowledge of modern, easy French. The two years of Spanish tMr. Galvarroli prepare theipupil for an understanding of simple, commer- cial Spanish. In German Oliss Lew- erenzi the student is prepared to read simple modern German. In the first two years of the Latin vcourse tMrs. Cirimmi grammar and .translation are stressed; in the third and fourth years tMiss Lewerenw the studenth attention is directed to the eiii history and customs of the Romans. i MR. KRA'I'T Mlss LEWERENZ Mk. GALVARRO M A N UA L A RT S The first ytZlf course in home eco- nomics comprises a study of textiles, the making of simple garments, and making outfits for orphans or needy children. In the second year Miss Scheinpfiug teaches advanced dress- making and design, budgeting, millin- ery, and home planning. Mr. Foulkes and Mr. Hagan super- vise the work in manual training, Mr. Foulkes teaching drawing and Mr. Hagan, woodwork. Their aims are to give the boys, as part of their general education, different kinds of shop op erations, mechanical and architectural drawing, and as much information about industry as possible. Advanced students are given practice in trades of different kinds; carpentry, drafting, automobiles, electricity, etc. This is the schoolis service depart- ment. The girls often use their needles for the school. The boys do , - repairing, plumbing, make stage set- MR. FOULKizs tings, and in numerous other ways MR. l'IAUAN Miss SCHIENPFLUG render service. 19 COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS The commercial courses have a prac- tical value for individual and business usage. The student, who upon gradu-k :Ltion must enter the business world, has some preparation for the task ahead of him. The department tested by competi- tion with other schools has made a very good showing In the district contest of 1926, Mainek teams took two Firsts, two seconds, and two thirds. In the shorthand events of the $11- burban League contest, Maine missed tying Hinsdale 21nd Clenbard for first place by TESS than a point, her second year team making first place with a 10070 record, and the first year team placing fourth. The hrst year typing team placed fourth; the second year, third. Mr. Biaun teaches the bookkeepingi classes; Miss Kelly, commercial law, commercial arithmetic, and shorthand; MR. BRAUN Miss Franks, typing. Miss KELLY MISS FRANKS PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Objectives of Maine's physical welfare program are as follows: tD Development of good sportsman- ship; QT organic health; CD good body mechanics; MT strength and en- durance; t3 motor skill and control tCD mental health; UT 21 ucarry over? into after school life. Maineis program of physical welfare has five distinct phases: tn Required physical activities; QT health education; QT health service; 00 intramural athletics; tST varsity athletics. The required physical activities for boys are taught by Mr. Marzulo and Mr. Earle. The intramural athletics and varsity athletics are coached by Mr. Fisher, football; Mr. Marzulo, track: Mr. Earle, swimming; Mr. Ha- gan, basketball and lightweight foot- ball; and Mr. VValp, baseball. Miss VVebsterTs full time is devoted to the required physical activities for girls and their intramural athletics. MR. FHHER She is assisted by Miss VVolfi-am and Miss WWSTER Mu, MARzum Miss Pitt. 20 OFFICE AND STUDY HALL On entering the office, one may find several students presenting notes, in return for which they receive pink slips which admit them to the days classes. The slips are signed by Miss Walker or Mrs. VValp. At a later hour Mrs. Walp may be seen cataloging new books for the library, and Miss Walker taking dictation or busy with a type- writer. Some time after the beginning of the second semester Miss Walker was forced to take a rest, and Miss Stanley came to do her work. The study hall supervisors at Maine are Miss Pitt; Miss Wolfram, and Mrs. Jiencke. Mrs. Jienckels chief duty at Maine is the maintenance of the cafeteria where most of Mainels students and teachers take their midday meal. Mr. Himel once said, ttIf every per- MISS VVAIKER son in the country has :1 right to share MR5. Juchm: MISS Pm- in the governing of our nation, how much more then should every teacher, because of his special training for the work, assist the principal in the administration of the schooll'. MaineKs admin- istrative plans are based on this belief. Once every five weeks a dinner and meeting are held, in order that lel the teachers may know and have a share in solving the problems that arise. The principal is assisted not only by his teachers as a group and individ- ually, but also by committees appointed from time to time to work out spe- cific problems. There are three standing committees which do valuable work during the year: the Social Activities Committee, composed of Miss Lewerenz, Miss Parolini, and Mrs. Galvarro; the Administrative Committee, composed of Mr. Fisher, Mr. North, and Mr. Foulkes; and the Commencement Activities Committee composed of Miss Lewerenz, Mr. Hagen, Miss Parolini, Mr. Walp, and Miss Cassidy. Administration of affairs at Maine is further facilitated by the class spon- sors, whose duties include the supervision of all class undertakings, their social affairs, entertainments, credit records, etc. The principal is further aided by sponsors appointed for each individual. It is the duty of these advisers to make the acquaintance of the student, try to gain his confidence so that he will take his problems to the sponsor, who can often give the pupil the advice or encouragement needed, thus preventing him from making a failure of his work, or even from dropping out of school. 21 THE MAINE BOARD The duties of the Maine Board are to help the teachers keep Maine: 1. F inancially sound and successful. 2. Honest and trustworthy. 3. Clean, decent, and properly amused. 4. Orderly and contented. The means to be used are: kindness, good will, and helpfulness. The objective is: respect for the rights, the feelings, and the property of others. The goal is: to make Maine the best small school in Illinois. The Board,s motto is: Help keep Maine clean. The constitution of the Board was changed this year, making the members of each committee three seniors and two juniors, instead of three seniors and three Jumors. The duties were increased by the establishment of a hall monitor system.

LIG H TW' Ii 1 G H T FO QT BA L L The lightweight team, although their accomplishments might not be said to be as outstanding as the senior team, did very well during the past season. Coach Ilagenys ponies administered two decisive defeats to XVest Chicago and to Morgan Park Military Academy, while their only depressing defeat was that at the hands of Proviso. The lightweights played but three games with teams in the West Surburban Conference, two of which ended in defeats by one point onlymthese at the hands of Glenbard. Although they lost three of the five encounters, they outscored their opponents almost two to one. The school should bestow a great amount of credit upon M r. Hagen and his charges, for through their efforts, the heavyweight team was whipped into condition for the fray. The lightweights get knocked around a great deal and play without the glamour that surrounds the Older team, but we should not forget that the ponies, by their untiring efforts in furnishing opposition in practice, play an important part in the success of the heavyweights.

At the beginning of the season, Coach George A. Hagen was presented with practically a new team- only one veteran, Captain Knabbmbeing left over from last year1s heavies. This year1s quintet was a fast, smooth running aggregation. The team traveled in fast company, for the West Suburban Conference had a group of the most evenly matched teams on record and every team was a good one. The quintet showed good teamwork, grit, determination, and good sportsmanship throughout the season.

The lightweights carried a heavy schedule Which included, besides the schools in the West Suburban Conference, teams representing institutions such as VVaukegan and Deerheld, which have a much larger enrollment than Maine Township High School. Twenty-one games were played by the lights and the boys were victorious in eleven of the twenty- one.

TRACK ROBERT DAVIS, Captain As this book goes to press before the track season is complete, we are only able to prophecy a successful season in this line of athletics. The cindermen have been practising since the first of the year and at present are in very good physical con- dition. Three competitive meets have been entered by the Main tracksters, two Cook County Interscholastics, and a National Interscholastic. N0 places were taken in any of these meets, but a good performance was witnessed, particularly when Walsh cleared the bar at five feet, eight inches in the high jump at the Northwestern Interscholastic. This jump breaks the West Suburban high jump record by four inches. If Walsh continues to show such form, a place in the Con- ference meet is surely forthcoming. Coach S. C. Marzulo labors hard with his material and his splendid encouragement is exceedingly helpful in promoting our menis track ambitions. Under the able leadership of Captain Robert Davis, the team should experience great success throughout the schedule. Before the big meet at Glen Ellyn, May 27, the team is entered in several dual meets with var- ious schools of the league, which will accustom them to the quality of their 0p- ponents and give them a line-up on what kind of performances they will be called upon to make in the West Suburban Conference meet. 33 A.

The team won by decisive scores five of the eight games played, losing only to Evans- ton and Carl Schurz by narrow margins. This was 21 good show- ing as the team suffered serious handicap during the season by the loss of Captain Behm from an in- jury, and several other players fmm ineligibility. 1V0 have high hopes for the 1927 team. Captain Martinson and a number of last year's letter men. supported by a large amount of new material, expect to have a suc- C c s s f u 1 season, although the schedule formed is 21 hard one. The team has arranged for two games each With the following schools: W'aukegan; Proviso; Oak Park; Deerheld Shields. 34 , Manager; MARCUS 131mm, GURIMX DUNAVAN, Rm:- MAR'rleoN, Captain 1927 HOCKEY The snappy fall weather brought out many hockey fans. There was a good representation from each claSS, and after a few weeks of practice, the teams were picked. Dame Fortune seemed to be with us this year, providing ideal hockey weather for all the games but one. The last game of the season, however, was far from ideal, for a regular blizzard was b10wing. About four inches of snow lay upon the ground when the game started, and the flakes kept coming down every minute. The girls were plucky though and stuck it out to the end. The seniors won by trouncing the sophomores five to nothing. RESULTS OF THE CLAss GAMES: Seniors Seniors Seniors Juniors Juniors Sophomores .......... 12 Juniors Sophomores ..........

So many girls turned out for practice after school, that to make the sport even more enjoyable, and to accommodate the large number of candidates, a color league was organized. All girls interested in the sport were put on one of the various color teams. The Orange Team walked off with all honors, winning every game in which it partici- patecl. The schedule was as follows: ......... 8 Yellow.......0 Green ........ 12 Blue ......... 8 Orange Purple ....... 18 White Pink ......... 22 Brown Gold ......... 2 Green ........ 16 Brown ....... 15 Orange ......21 ......... 6 From the color teams the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen selected their best material and arranged a series of interclass games. The championship fell to the juniors who won all their games. The seniors, who lost but one contest, laid claim for second place. The scores heaped up by the upper class teams against the freshmen are considerably higher than basketball scores usually run, but the freshmen played a plucky game, and who knows but that in another three years they too may pile up a sixty to six score against the freshmen of 1930.

The students played to a capacity house and a very enthusiastic one. The plot of the story, the music, the delightful solos and duets, the dancing, the setting, the gorgeous costumes were all instrumental in making the evenings program a most satis- factory one. Were we to enumerate those who deserve special mention for ex- cellence of performance, we should just begin with the leads and go right on through the entire cast. Had Mr. Kraittls undertaking ended with training the principals, his task would have seemed far from easy. But when one realizes that he trained not only fifteen of them, but also a chorus of eighty and an orchestra of forty, one wonders 'how it could all be done. But we know it was and well done. Miss Gladys Schweitzer assisted Mr. Kratt by training the dancers. The scene of the Operetta is laid in Barcelona, Spain, during the Festival of the Toreadors . An American Lieutenant is the hero of the story. He wins from an unscrupulous Spaniard the beautiful daughter of a wealthy plantation owner of Barcelona.

For some time the faculty has felt the need of such an organization. That the students were glad to have this outlet for their histrionic instincts is evidenced by the large number of pupils who enlisted as soon as the club was organized The first two plays given by HThe Dramatic Clubp wereVThe Trysting PlaceU and TTThe White Lie? They were given in the latter part of November. The cast of the nTrysting Placeiy was: Marjorie Burningham, Evelyn Pinney, Jack Inskeep, Lawrence Anderson, Marcus Behm, Burton .Carle, and Antonia Dorti- cos. The cast for TTThe White Lie was: Gladys Pascoe, Marjorie Plew, Alice Judson, Pearl Nelson, Katherine Richardson, Helen Maag, and Marvillia French. The manager for these two plays was Allen Douglass. The next two plays, which were given in February, were TTThe Florist Shop and The Fowl Play? Evelyn Partridge managed these plays. The cast for I'The Florist Shopii was: Harriet Purves, Dayton Click, Norman Callow, Agatha Grable, and Elmer Krakora. Svea Bengston, Stewart Walpole, Beatrice Langlois, William Schnitzer, and Russel Sleet composed the cast of uThe Fowl Play?

Written as only the inimitable M r. Shakespeare himself, wouldtft have written it. CAST OF SHADY CHARACTERS Shades of: Hamlet, former King of Denmark 23132:;th iAttendants to the King Gertrude, Wife of Hamlet and Claudius Hamlet, the son of King Hamlet Horatio, friend of Hamlet Claudius, brother of King Hamlet Pluto, King of the Underworld A red-headed chorus girl i Charon, a river pilot Mob, taxi driver Plutots horses and Black Angels Time: Shortly after the events portrayed in Act V, Scene 2 of ttHamletW Place: At Styx Port, a little community on the banks of the River Styx, where Lost Souls gather to be ferried across to Eternal Punishment. Scene I. Pier 14 of the Styx Navigation Company. An ancient ship is tied up to the dock. King Hamlet is pacing up and down in front of the gang plank, closely followed by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. In appearance these two are true to typeeWeber and Fields Jewseone being short and fat, the other tall and thin. King: tto himseltj Blank, blankety blank! Blank blankety blank! Ros.: tto GuiU His rhythm seemeth better now. Guil.: Ay, but I like his number best, which starteth Thus: tiBlanketye . King: Be still! If one must swear, It shall be I! Guil.: So swore he once, when angerly he smote The sledded Polacks on the ice. tEnter Gertrude and Hamlety King: I see you have arrived, my queen. Gert: My husband and my lord, I hoped To see you meet me, arms outstretched. Why this black anger on your brow? 55 Gert. : Ham.: iasidey Ros. : Guil. : King: Ham. : Gert. : King: Gert: King: Ham.: tasidel King: Dear Gertrude, surely you don't think To please a king by being wed With his own brother, murdered? My lord, the kingdom needed one To wisely guide the ship of state And Hamlet needed such a one To answer all his pleas for cash. W'ell now, perhaps you coulant know, Poor thing. You only did what seemed In your unknowing eyes the best. llve surely wronged you. Do forgive And lean against my manly Chest. My lord! Diplomacy, thy name is woman! Dictator, thy name is wife. Sucker, thy name is husband. Ha, Hamlet, welcome to our Stygian shores. It surely took you long enough To make your hand act with your head. Why did it take so cussed long? Well, Dad, you see, I couldnlt find An alienest to take my case. They said that Loeb and Leopold Had ruined all the public taste For refined murders, steeped in blood. Their best advice was, HBetter wait. The juries now are hard to pick for man Afflicted young with murder complex strange To get them out of John Lawis hands So they may once more range the streets T0 pick a victim in a tricefI I wouldnlt have, though. Yotfre much too nice. So be it. Every man must die, And 'Claudie went before his time. I ask no more. Its great to have My family with me once again. You,ve no idea, my beauteous Queen, How lonely an old married man Like me can get at night in such A place as this. Oh yes, I think You could, with women such as Helen of Troy and Cleopatra hanging ,round. A man would need a wifely eye To keep him on the narrow path. Now, now, my darling wife, I think Itls best and happier not to quarrel. She runs him as she always did. That yonder villain, captain of This dinky little scow here docked, Insists on waiting Itil a load 56 Is gathered here upon this pier, Before he thinks it profitable To hoist her rotten sails aloft. I wonder why Horatio Has not his tryst kept at this spot, To make the passage oler with us. And I too, wonder why King Claudius does not arrive. Art sure, Son Hamlet, that you stuck Your loving Uncle in the ribs? Yea, absolutely, Dad, I punched His one-way ticket with that sword Laertes smeared with deadly goo, Before I said my own goodbye. tEnter Shade of retl-headed chorus girl, weeping, and rather angryy What do you, oh hery blonde? Once I was hungry chorus girl Who danced three from the left, front row, iTil in an after theatre crowd I took a little harmless drink To cure a cold that bothered me. It cured it too, I dth cough now. And all the show sent such nice howcrs. How sad. I too, took just one more Which flopped me out upon the floor. And when I landed here, a lad All gussied up in tights and sword Gave me the eye, and said, IlSay, Kid, How would you like a little glass Of heavenly nectar, or a stein Of Old Man Bacchusl XX wine?H I says, HSay boy, if you could know Just how I came to play this place You wouldnlt ask me, IWanta drink P, But just the same, just to be nice Illl join you in a little feed. He grabs me by the arm and to Orpheus's Hall and Dance Cafe, The snappiest joint along this wharf, we went, and galloped round The crowded dance Hoor to the tune Of Red Hot Bluesf, and then he asked Me what Ild have. And since I am a cultured girl, I thought I wouldnlt make a social break And just a chicken salad small Desire, when I an eight course meal Should ask, like the poor girl. whose Worried face is known and pitied by The race of all who read the magazines. I didnt order much, ytwas not Enough to keep a bird alive. Just oysters, fish, a salad green, Some breast of guinea, caviar, 57 King, Gert. and Ham: And when I couldnlt quite decide On pink ice cream or apple pie, I ordered both, and ate them, too And when they passed the finger bowl, I didnt drink the liquid in, But, birdlike, washed my face and hands, And carefully scrubbed behind my ears. Then this smart, medieval guy Says, HLissen, dearie, hold your chair. Ilve gotta go and telephone. Illl be right back and then well dance? I sat and waited half an hour. They says, nPay up, donyt be so Scotch? And gee, I had to hock my watch. ITwas Claudius, I know his touch! Scene II. tFive, or five hundred years later. It doesn't matter. All things are the same, except for a few cobwest tThis time Gertrude paces up and down, the King, Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern looking rather boredj Gert. : King : Gert. : Ham.: Good heavens, how we wait and wait. It seems almost a thousand years Since we did leave our Danish home And come to this deserted spot. You see, old Charonls lost the trade Of carrying over all the Souls. They,d rather go on modern ships With deck games played from Morn ,til night, and dancing then Fron night ltil dawn doth proudly break. Old Charon is a stubborn fool, And since he has not yet a load And since he has our silver coins, We needs must wait until he does. By birth, you might have been a Dane, But in your action above and all, Your mother was a hardy Scot, And father born a Hamburg Jew. TheyIre off again. I think that Dad Was really glad to be cut off In all his sins; if it but kept Him way from all these married brawls. tA Yella Cab dashes up, and Horatio clambers out. He forgets to pay the driver, who waits awhile, then sadly drives awayj Hon: Horatio, or I mistake mine eyes! What happening did make you late? After the youthful Fortinbras Was lstablished King, I took my sword And fell on it, but broke the thing In pieces twain. I took a rope to hang Myself, but ere I choked some helpful 58 Fool came cut me down, and brought me to. Undaunted still, I tied a stone Around my neck, leapt in the sea. The tide went out, and left me lying There, high and dry upon the shore. That made me mad, and as I raged, An apoplexy made me halt, And then I fOund my spirit here. Flagging a cab, I hastened on To keep our sacred meeting here, And as we dashed from street to street A rising bridge did halt our course. iTwas there we waited forty years T 0 let a smoky tow-boat through. Thou patient soul, to go through this To keep a pre-death compact true! And as I waited in the cab, Your Uncle Claude did pass me by Pursued by quite a motley crowd, XVho chased him, crying, Robber, thief, Villain, scofHaw, halt and take The consequences of your crimes P, But did he halt or hesitate? He sure did not, he only tried To speed it up, and beat the mob. Oh yes, if there be Devil here, Heis surely raised him to his toes. Therets more confusion since he came Than in the million years before. tEnter Claudius, rather hastily, pursued by hue and cryQ And as I live, he cometh now. Claud.: Oh brother, brother, save my soul! I am pursued by angry mob Who madly seek my after-life. Quick, let me hide on yonder scow! tCharon appears at the head of gang plank, armed with two huge revolvers and a hand machine gun, Chicago styleJ Char: Go to. Go, get thee hence, thou Dane! You cannot come aboard this Tidy craft, by all the stars, The moon and sun! Go to! tThe mob rushes in headed by the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, and the red-headed chorus girl. They rough-house Claudius a bit, but are in- terrupted by Plutto, the Old Boy Himself, who rides up in his fiery chariot drawn by the famous black horses. The use of horses is optional. Since chariot racing was prohibited in Rome by the Humane Society, and beer truck driving was prohibited by Mr. Voilstead, it is difficult to obtain horses magnificent enough to do justice to the scene. Instead, the same cab that brought Horatio may be used, but I bet that he collects his fare in advancej 59 Pluto : The Crowd : Pluto : Claud. : Pluto: Claud. : Pluto : Is this the medieval guy ths raising Ned around the town? Ay! 'Tis Claudius, the Dirty Dane! Ah, Claudius? 1 passed a judgment On your case some time ago, Forgave your sins and let you go Because you seemed to earnestly Desire repentance in your heart, And would, I have no doubt, Hut 2111 the worldly things about Distracted from such worthy thoughts. But HOWe Oh Pluto, Lord ,lieelzebub! Donit cast me into brimstone now. Don't fry me over radiant grill, Nor prick my quivering tiesh with steel. Donit bathe me in the fiery lakes, In liquid fire up to my neck! Oh Satan, Prince of Devil-folk, I do repent; in truth I do! Not burn your Hesh? How ancient is Your thought of how we run this place. W'hy, weive quit roasting wicked souls For years. We found that novelists And priests the people's minds did till W'ith concepts and ideas of Hell That not the best tiend in all the Universe our customers could Satisfy. Business was falling off.

Though he did commit crimes both large And many, still, I think his deeds Are over punished, up on earth. Though he did kill his brother true And wed his wife, and plot the death Of other men, ten thousand times These deeds do not deserve, by half, Such punishment as He dealt out To brother Claudius. It was unjust. Yes, Uncle Claude, the Dirty Dane, Is all lined up for punishments As human man ne'er got before. His soul will eat his body up, His body beat his soul about, And every editor who runs A paper, large or small, will cut Him down on weekdays and then pay Outrageous sums for drivel dry, On Sundays, to amuse the crowds. Yes, Claudius my pity has. Yea, Claudius, 'twere better far You died in youth than drew the wrath Of Pluto, Prince Beelzebub. yTil now your life was happiness, A happy, carefree, rosesy bed. Alas, those merry days are gone! You live a life of agony lnflicted by the common herd, The lntellects, your wife and friends, Or by your own corrosive mind. My pity, and my last farewell.

MY HOUSE I'd want a house of old English design, XVith an old thatched roof and a long slanting line, Having room just for two in its cosy inside, Which one could call home, and there happy abide; Out in the country, near a sparkling stream, XVhere one could linger, and lie down to dream; 0th near the tall pines with their odorous needles. Mingling with noise of the slow flying beetles; Out near the stream of the hard fighting trout, Casting my fly in the waters about. Yd want my house in a garden of trees With many a Bower for the wild honey bee. WALTER T. BJORK THE JOY RIDE In a little town in Mexico A padre brown did dwell. His heart was full of promise For his lusty brood of twelve; To take them for an outing Was his chief desire. To find a car, neat but spacious, Was a problem dire. He visited the auto-show Where excellent cars abound. The one that took the padrek eye Had tassels all around. A gorgeous gray, with windows drapede Out came the padres purse. A bargain, so the salesman said-e And thus he sold the hearse! LUCILLE B URROWS THATXQ THE PLACE FOR ME Where the waters bright and deep Where the trout lie fast asleep; Down the river, oier the lea, That's the place for me. Where the grass is short and cleanest, Where the trees are tall and greenest; Just to be alone and free, Thatis the place for me. WILLIAM KLEINER 62 RESURRECTION For years the Government of British West Africa has fought against the terrible, hidden menace of the cannibal societies among the otherwise peaceful natives. Reverting t0 the superstitions of their ancestors, the members of these societies believe themselves possessed of the spirits of leopards and resort to the eating of human Hesh. Feasts are held every new moon and the victims are selected by the members of the society. The killer of the group is skillfully guised in leopard hide and wears on his feet heavy sandals with leopardls pads carved in relief on the thick bullock leather. Strapped to his wrists and ankles are knives in claw form of wonderful sharpness, for these people are among the most skillful steel workers in the world. His method is simple yet appalling in its ingenuity. A scream of terror, tracks, splattered blood on the broad begonia leaves, a11-eexcept, perhaps, a few charred bones in a deserted clearing. Mwaba was a coward. Long ago he had left this motherls house for she had disclaimed him as her son, being forced to relinquish the hope that he might be the chief elect 0f the village. He had accepted this without emotion or the slight- est bitterness, for the warp of his name, ttThe Cowardf, was woven into the very fabric of his being. He had no wives, for all women turned from him in scorn and the children stoned him. It was he who went first down the path to the clearing to receive the showers of heavy night dews brushed from the tall jungle grass. He sat with the women at the feasts and was heard not in the councils. He was a coward. Night had come to the jungles and with it a radiant, clear moon, immersing all in a benediction of light. Ragged strips of the shaggy eucalyptus bark hung motionless and the tall grass was ruffled but lightly in the night air. Small black forms crossed and recrossed the path and a huge moth liuttered into the moon- light, paused, andiwas gone. Returning from the fields, Mwaba saw and wondered at the mature beauty of the moon, the cold goddess of the. night. A bat, disturbed, darted out of the bushes. Mwaba shuddered. Ahead, in the deep shadows, was a stealthy move- ment, a rustle, a subtle rustle. Part of the silver and sable shadows glided into the path. Leopard! The superstitions of ten thousand years were in Mwabals eyes as he bowed low and made obeisance t0 the great beast. With a bound the leopard was upon Mwaba, slashing at his breast. In that brief moment, Mwabia lost all reason and reverted to the inbred instincts of a jungle people. Anything to keep those great, tearing Claws away! Mad with terror he grasped the beastls fore paws. The leopard clawed at the manls wrists, and with his hind legs slashed at his abdomen. But Mwaba was beyond all reactions, save those of fear. He clung. . Til the shadows paled and faded away into the dawn did he keep his terrible hold on the leopard; and the beast, worn, had ceased his clawing. It was then, that, horribly exhausted, Mwaba sank t0 the earth. The leopard tore himself free and slunk into the pale shadows. And there they found him, in the gray dust of the path, just as the leopard had left him. Shouting with excitement, they bore 'him on a litter to the en- closure of the missionary. The fearful gashes inhicted by the beast were care- fully dressed lmid the babel 0f the young bucks whose bodies glistened with the blood of the injured man, every drop of which they had carefully saved. Was it not the blood of a brave man and would they not approach his valor if they anointed themselves with this blood of battle? 63 With the songs of praise of the morning ringing in his ears, Mwaba skirted the crowd about the great fire. An undertone of admiration attended his coming. XVomen bowed to him and the doctors about the fire called to him to join their group. The young men gathered about him to hear his story. All had an air of deference that delighted the heart of Miwaba. he who had known n0 praise. In the tribute of the shining eyes about him and in the glory of the gleaming hand- ages that swathed his slender arms, Mwaba found that he was great. But to him this was nothing to the greatness within himself. Mwaha was made, for had he not met a leopard in the great darknesswand vanquished him? A missionary smiled as he wrote, uBehold the resurrection of a man. They were deep wounds-knife wounds . JOHN PRATT CIRCUS The circus! The circus! I loved its noise and smell. I loved the cries of rapture That on my ears 0ft fell. Animals! and animals! And clowns and men and boys! And women selling pop-corn Or funny tricky toys. I thought the clowns amusing. I found the monkeys bright. I had no thought of losing One single Charming sight. There was a slim young fairy XV'ho rode a prancing steed, While clowns all wildly merry Rode an old velocipede! A great big baggy elephant Swayed to the blaring band, That sat in ease and elegance On top a wagon grand. Although my thoughts are serious, My eyes are dimmed with age, I still become delirious When the Circus has the stage. RAMONA HARLOW THE DERELICT Fast to her moorings lay the Star, In a harbor by the sea; Her crew had all departed home, Her sails Happed loose and free. An old sea captain lived in her; tTwas all he could call home, Though she had been deserted, And no more would ply the foam. But a gale was rising steadily, On this dark and fateful night; And the old ship creaked uneasily, But still her ropes were tight. The lightning flashed and thunder rolled, On the deck the raindrops pattered; And a sudden streak of lightning, The stoutest cable shattered. Then like that famous llCrack of Doom , The other cables broke; But from his pleasant dreaming, The Skipper ne'er awoke. Little knew the ancient sailor, In that schooner off Cape Cod, The only thing to save him now Was the helping hand of God. For like a horse unbridled, The old ship rocked and rolled; And if the Star should reach the rocks, Its tale would meet be told. The rocks are drawing closer, With a sand bar to the right; lTis a sad fate for a sailor, On this lonely, gloomy night. But guided by hands of angels, And as though fate it mocks, The ship swings on the right tack, And eludes the dreadful rocks. And when the morning dawns, And the sun is again let free; The captain wakes and Ends himself, On a sand bar by the sea. HOMER DOTTs. 65 SHIP O, DREAMS I saw a ship go sailing Away out on the sea; Its full-blown sails were golden lts masts were ebony. And oh, the splendor of it, Against the dawning sun; lTwas laden all with treasure, From lands along its run. But never does it debark Or ever come near land To give its precious cargo, Into fortune's hand. For those who want this dreamship Must venture off the shore And strive and seek with earnest will To capture all its store. MARJORIE PLEW. MN LIFE,S COMPOSITION Shadows of time, Shadows of space, Shadowsfof beauty Shadows of grace; A shadow of mirth, A shadow of sorrow, A shadow of love- All vanished to-morrow. Life is a shadow, Almightily cast lTwixt the eternities, Sweet til the last. WILLARD BROWN. NW DID YOU EVER Did you ever gaze on a ship at anchor, Whose billowy sails still the rancor That lies within a lonely breast, And hurts and hurts till you come to rest At your own home port where catfish play, Where seagulls wing across the bay? Where a sweetheart waits and longs for you; And hopes and hopes that some day too, She will see a ship on the calm blue waves, That will bring back him for whom she prayS-- Say did you ever? HAROLD BRINK. 66 WCWEXWU' , L .109, . Lluvtlt THE FRESHMAN VYELCOME Way back in the year 1926, on October eighth, the freshmen of Maine Town- ship High School gathered together to welcome themselves to the school. The eveningts entertainment began in the assembly, where different mem- bers of the class gave readings, vocal and piano solos, and a play entitled UThe Anti-Grossip Society . This society was composed of ten members who were organizing to prevent gossip. However, before the first meeting adjourned the ladies had forgotten the purpose of the organization. Speeches were given by Robert Jordan, class president, Mr. Craton, sponsor, and Mr. Marzulo, athletic coach. After the entertainment the Frosh went into the gym and danced for the rest of the evening. Ice-cream and cookies were served between dances. A dance welcoming them to Maine was quite an incident in the lives of the freshmen. Their memory goes back to it, and their desires go forward to another evening similar to that of October eighth. JUNIOR MtASQUERADEe-OCTOBER 30 A masquerade is a place Where one can go; It matters not what his face- It will not show. To the gym the revelers pass, Motley- their array; Red Riding Hood, a Scottish lass, And many a dainty fay. When Rexts orchestra their tune Began to play Blithe masqueraders feared too soo'n An end of this gay dav. By vaudeville they were entertained By a Mainite troupe. A Spanish maid the prize then gained, The fairest of the group. 67 ALUMNI lllXNCEeNOYEMBER 26 llHellov, Mary. How are you ?n 'tHello! I feel fme, but Fm still sort Of tired from last night? uTired?

The refreshments are served by freshmen and sophomores. The scene ends after all have participated in a few dances. CURTAIN. M CLUB DINNER DANCE Many girls in gay colors and boys in their thi, Club sweaters were at the chicken dinner which was given by the Mb Club, December eleventh. After all had had their appetites appeased, they were invited to go to the gym to see the initiation of the new members of the Club. All of the 01d members had their shoes shined by the incoming ones, and then the unlucky ones had to put their shoes in a barrel. A grand scramble followed. Then the llpoor thingsli were sent to the boys' lockers to meet a worse fate. Soon some of them appeared dressed in girls, middies and bloomers. Bill Kleiner certainly made a llhit as a lassie. They played a game of basketball, if it can be called such, for they broke every rule they knew of. This was followed by a football game; the team was composed of four. ltMartyh was the star of the game as he made all the touch downseehe didn't give anyone else a chance at the ball. The stunts over, the boys were permitted to don their finest apparelethat is, the suits they came in, and the dancing program began. The Lyric Orchestra fur- nished the music. The fair sex would find it hard to say which they enjoyed more, the initiation or the dancing. 5T.

It was the Sophomores Valentine Dance, and they sure know how to entertain. To begin with, the decorations were of red and white, cupids and hearts. The streamers were draped from one end of the hall to the other. Sengstockls Or- chestra furnished the music and it was peppy. We danced until midnight and had loads of fun. Everyone was there except you. Hurry home, so you wont miss the next party. With love, PAT. THE JUNIOR PROM The Junior uProm? the climax of the social events of the year, is scheduled for May twenty-eighth. As that date has not arrived we should have to draw on our imaginations to describe the big event. Perhaps you can do that better than we can. Weill let you try. 69 FUN PERIODS On September twenty-lirst, the Pioneer staff provided the entertainment at the fun period. A clever play, written by Elizabeth Paine, was acted by members of the staff. Special stunts were performed by Beatrice Langlois, Jean Rider, Harriet Purves, Lida Berline, Elizabeth Paine, Sylvia Tregillus, and Priscilla Gairing. The first play coached by Miss Ryan at Maine was given at the October sixth fun period. The players were: Katherine Brown, Luella Hand, Kenneth Scha- fer, Harold Brink, and Glenn Schweitzer. Ella Hahn and Robert Pitt composed the cast of a playlet, ltAt the Crossing? Another feature was popular songs by Agatha Grable, Florence Hamburger, Grace McCarty, and Bill Carle. After this came the blood curdling lighthouse scene with Marcus Behm, Lawrence Ander- son, Harriet Thompson, Dorothy Remington, Tom Jordan, and John Leahy. On October twenty, Mr. Brush, the magic man, entertained with many inter- esting and intricate tricks. Miss Porter, his helper, sang a few songs. The llAnnual Fun Period was next in line. Ella Hahn, Ignatius Galantin, and Marjorie Burningham took parts in a play entitled lWVhere but in America P Burt Carle surprised us all by a short but snappy dance. Harriet Purves gave a humorous reading. At the fun period 011 November eleven a patriotic program was given. The principal address was made by Mr. Stewart, mayor of Des Plaines. The mayor of Park Ridge addressed the assembly briefly. The master of the Boy Scouts was one of our guests. December first found the football squad ready to receive their letters. The duties of the Maine Board were fully explained on December fifteenth by Mr. Craton. Burt Carle was again called upon to demonstrate his dancing ability. Cargill, Parish, and Marquez performed some very difficult stunts which they termed lltumbling . Marquez also gave some shadow-boxing demonstra- tions. Grace McCarty played a piano solo. Not to be'outdone by the boys, on January twelfth, Helen Harsch and Henri Handorf gave a lltumblingh act. A senior chorus, dressed in sailor suits, danced and sang. A dialogue called ttPerils of the Great City was given by Jane Hall and Harriet Purves. Jean Webster, Alice Hodge, and Evelyn Partridge, as an advertisement for a Dramatic Club play, sang THO H0, Ha Ha, Be True? to the tune of ltHo H0, Ha Ha, Me Too . On February second. Mr. McClay, a physical director, gave a speech on physical eclucaton in China. One of the finest programs of the year was in celebration of Lincolnis birth- day. Mr. Taylor of the Methodist Church, Des Plaines, read Tarbellls llI Knew Lincoln . The next fun period was given by the freshmen, February twenty-third. Their ' program consisted of a little play, a piano solo, two readings, an interlude, and an original poem. On March twenty-third Miss Smith, reader. Miss Deeriug, violinist, and Miss Inglebauer, vocalist, furnished the program. On April sixth the sophomore class provided the program. A violin duet by Gwendolyn Butler and Thelma Mackaben; vocal duet by Grace McCarty and Robert Pitt: a play, TlApril Foolll with a cast composed of Robert Clauss, james Bornholft, and Robert Farnam; a dance and song by sophomore girls; burlesque of the classical dance by John Pratt and Franklin Paine.

Treasurer The M Club, established last year, has taken itself and the whole student body of Maine Township High School one more step forward toward her ideal in sporting achievements which are so cherished and revered in this institution. Members of this honorary body consist of those who have earned their letters in heavyweight football, heavyweight basketball, track. Besides these members, the club have written it into their constitution that a limited number of those awarded letters in senior swimming and baseball shall be considered members of the organization and be permitted to wear the M Club insignia. The objective of the tiM Club has been 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 Maine,s reputation clean and unblemished among her Opponents in every branch of athletics. One of the most noteworthy accomplishments of these men has been the standardizing 0f the letters that shall be awarded for efforts in the various sports. This was done to prevent the wholesale confusion, experienced by the student body and the alumni, which occurred when one tried to determine the sport for which a certain letter was given. 71 MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 7eVVe catch the early coaches and thence to Maine and make a joyful entrance into the new year.

A rippling brook is singing a tune As he crosses the meadow green; Perhaps he thinks it is really June Andahe dreams of a fairy queen! Twilight is creeping silently In shades of mauve and blue. The birds in the trees chirp sleepily; Their day is nearly through. A silver moon peeps out of a cloud And shines on sweethearfs tresses; An old church bell rings clear and loud Ande-softly the man confesses!

Secretary MANsON NORTH . . . . Treasurer Sponsors MIss LEWERENZ MR. HAGEN Class H istory One bright September day in ,23, we who are now, dignified seniors, wander- ed into Maine, a foolish bunch of children. All the other classes elected offiicers, so we decided to too, and we really used excellent judgment when we chose Robert Davis, president; William Leyns, vice-president; Grant Johnson, sec- retary; and Allen Douglass, treasurer. In due time, we bloomed into domineering sophomores. Here we began to have a part in the real activities 0f the school. Besides a little play and the Freshman Welcome, we had a dance all our own. Joe Behm as president, Her- bert Raffel as vice-president, Nancy Garrett as secretary, and Manson North as treasurer, piloted us through this second century. Before we knew it, we found ourselves a sophisticated bunch of juniors. The seniors better than we? Oh, they only thought they were. Such was our line of talk. But we muSt admit that the Hard Time Party and the Junior Prom were very successful. B'larjorie Plew was our president; Lyle Parish, the vice- president; Ella Hahn, secretary; and Katherine Brown, treasurer. And then the top notch was reached when we came to be high and mighty seniors. Of course, it goes without saying that we were the most important members of the school. Although all the days at Maine havent been as enjoyable as they might have beenedays when you felt that everything was going wrongemost of us will find it a mighty hard place to leave, after all.

The F reshman Welcome found us ttrazzed to pieces but it ended with no hard feelings, on our part, and by the second semester we were prominent athletically and socially. After two years of hard work and good sportsmanship Krakora, McGregor, Kleiner and Hooper claim hMtsh for football. Swimming fmds Anderson, Kreutzer, Carle and Kleiner valuable members of the team. On the basketball Hoor Kleiner, McGregor, and Fisher are sure shots. And for two years Burton has led- our cheering and our teams to victory! The Sophomore Dance had everyone out for a good time, and we had it! The first costume dance ever attempted at Maine the juniors made a big success. Our girls kicked their way with perfection through the Follies. And the Prom! Itts a wonderful climax to a wonderful year! Yes, wetre not a bit conceited but quite talented, energetic, and unusual.

We were thgreen lemon? when we entered Maine, but we soon learned all the secrets of work and fun in high school and were then known as a peppy bunch. We gave our own F reshman W elcome-the hrst celebration of the year. We didnet give the sophs a chance to make fools of us as had been the custom. Our ofhicers were: President, Harriet Purves; Vice-President, Herbert Franz; Secretary, Jean Webster; Treasurer, Glenn Woody. As sophomores we have not lost any of our pep, but are compelled to use most of it in Studying. Geometry, biology, and botany are altogethter different studies from those we have been used to. In both freshman and sophomore years we have provided many valuable men for the different teams, among whom were Orland Mabee, Clifford Schultz, ttPeanuts Christiansen, Lloyd Clements, Howard Coash and W'ilbur Schroeder who represented us in football, basketball and swimming.

Yet it was not asleep by any means, and its members, both individually and as a whole, accomplished much during their freshman year. Our officers with the aid of the sponsors arranged the Freshman Welcome. Both boys and girls took a keen interest in sports, as was proved by the boys' football team, girlst hockey and basketball teams, and the many freshman boys on the junior swimming team. February 23, 1927, the Freshman Assembly was held, at which the picture, h'Washington Crossing the Delaware,,, was presented to the school by the frosh. We admit we were green when we entered Maine, but now, as we finish our first year we know we belong, and will be in the front row next September to cheer the new ttFreshies .

Some were shy and frightened, and some were full of tricks, But all were silly freshmen I maintain. Their lockers wouldnlt open; classrooms they couldnlt find, And busses wouldnlt wait for them at all. But after quite a while they didnt seem so blind; And soon they ceased to come at senior's call. They first chose four new officers to lead their class. Though these have not been asked with many urgent pleas To do so, a revolt they could suppress, A radio bill pass, or an income tax collect with ease! The Freshman XVelcome Party turned out very well. The stately presidents speech was .'just the thing . They all declared the dancing tldarby , Hsimply swellf, And said, HWe have some freshmen who can sing . Some members of the class have literary aim, And six of these make up the Spotlight staff. Judging by their efforts, they all will rise to fame, And the sweet wine of great success will quaff. Athletes too, there are, who belong to this great Class, Both boys and girls of every weight and height. Theyive had many contests and will have many more, For, though not always winners, they will light. The hockey team of girls worked well and hard and long; No matter if they didnlt win a game, Captain Brown and all the rest played to t'save the dayli, And though they were not victors they had fun just the same. The boys at freshman football proved their ability, And chased the pigskin over mud and stone. Of stars there were a-plenty: Henze, Collet, Jordan, Schrieber, Burrows, Jefferson and Louton. Two football stars were also shining lights at track And quickly spread the yards before their foes. For diving, Harry Pottle has more than just a knack; When first place goes to him the squad just crows. Other freshman swimmers who made the junior team Have proved that each can swim just like a duck. Taunk, Lauton, and Murphy can boast if so they wish, They earned their laurels by hard work and pluck, As this long list of lldeedsll does surely show. They,ve accomplished many things, and many more youlll see, Before on to their sophomore year they go. .
