Eau 3l2eher Qian Gisli The delightful play You Never Can Tell was presented by the Senior Class on May 24th. From the way the actors carried out their parts you would never have guessed that they were amateurs. Reeda Eibeck as Dolly Clandon, and Kurt Goldberger as her brother Philip, fairly carried the audience with them throughout the entire play. However Don Brown, as Valentine, the dentist, comes in for a lion's share of comment, for he certainly did put the true love stuff over the footlights. And when he kissed her-the smack, like the first shot at Lexington Green, was heard round the world. But that reminds me of Doris Elsesser, the receiver of the said smack. As Gloria Clandon she was a perfect trifler, but she fell for Mr. Bohun, the attractive lawyer. And who would have made a better lawyer than Louis Moscove? Ruth Goldstein as Mrs. Clandon and Carl Haeffner as Mr. Crampton certainly made a charming couple. You could tell they were married once, by the way they quarreled, but they had separated long ago and Mrs. Crampton changed her name to Clandon. Mr. Crampton was quite disgusted with the way his children greeted him after so long a lapse of time, but Balmy Water Boone, better known as William Shakespeare because he resembled him so much, reconciled Crampton by telling of his own son who was no other than Mr. Bohun, who, too,had changed his name to be distinctive. Ralph Ojeman as the waiter was an ideal man for the part. Then there was Herbert Wolfram as Mr. Finch, the solicitor. Who would have thought that pretty Dolly Clandon would have fallen in love with him? And as the ballyhoo artist for the sideshow says, last but not least we have Mary Applegren as the maid. While Mary's part was a minor one, it is always the minor parts that lend atmosphere and charm to the play. What would a dentist do without a pretty maid to receive patients-well, You Never Can Tell. This paragraph is reserved for one, Miss Flora L. Ebaugh, who directed the play .Her ability as a director is best judged by the way in which the large audience expressed its approval and admiration of the performance. - THE MANUAL, 1920 .... , . Qlibe Hsiun of Eau jaeher Glam Gisli The curtain had descended for the last time. The play was over. From all outward appearance it had proved a success. The people were loud in their praise and their only wish was to see it again. Thus ended the night of the initial performance of You Never Can Tell. But gossip and news travel rapidly and the next day a local com- mittee of citizens called upon Mr. Brown to secure a second performance. The request was granted and the performance was given. This time hundreds of people were turned away. As a result the play was given the third time, but still people met with the same fate at the door. The cast and director then 'hit' upon a plan. They de- cided to charge one dollar admission and thus check the crowds. But the admission might as well have been three pins, for the persis- tent audiences were ever increasing. Price was no obstacle to keep people from witnessing this inviting play. Its success was instan- taneous and its popularity, gossip. It was then decided to give only three more performances and dissemble the scenery, but what appeared after these performances can scarcely be believedgan invitation to present the play at the Peoria High School Auditorium. This re- quest of course could not be refused and so the play received another volume of applause and admiration form the audience of that school. In the meantime both the local papers phenomenally agreed that the paly was the best ever presented by any cast in Peoria, amateur or professional, not barring East Peoria. It happened by chance that the manager of the La Salle theater of Chicago was stopping at the Jefferson and read about the success of the play. He immediately investigated and was so delighted with a special performance that he offered the cast and director the nominal sum of 550,000 for one weekls performance at this theatre. The offer was accepted. The performances at the LaSalle theater met with much enthusiasm, for real art is indeed appreciated everywhere. The warm approval of Chicagoans was plainly evidenced in the papers. Comments the Chicago Tribune of june 26: The new version of Bernard Shaw's 'You Never Can Tell' was indeed unique. The interpretation by that cast has even excelled that of the Metropolitan Stock Co. of New York City. The elaborate settings were perfect. Philip Clandon, to the writer's belief, was easily the star of the performance. His know- ledge of human nature was a great asset to his person, and his THE MANUAL 1920 Mff+,1f!lS.H f , . .V , E ,,,i:,,. , ff ,mn--lg A I' 1 '- incisive wit and humour were the spice of the play. No less ad- mired than her twin Philip, was the ever-talking Dolly Clandon. Her pleasant and affable personality coupled with her beauty and charming voice enthralled her audience! Thus ended the favorable criticism of this publication. Nor without any laudable comment is the Chicago American, which writes: 'fThe play given last night by the Peoria Manual High School cast was a tremendous success. The appearance of the star performer, Miss Dolly Clandon, met with repeated applause. Her acting was so filled with life, vigor, and emotion that she immediately cap- tured the hearts of the audience. With due respect to Mr. Crampton, it must be said his growl- ing aroused the patience of the members of the canine family, who retaliated with feeble inferiority. The composure of Mr. Val- entine after his many shocking matrimonial viciszitudes and em- barrassmnets was indeed admirable. The parts of Gloria Clandon, Mrs. Clandon, Mr. McComas, Mr. Bohun and Balmy William Walters Shakespeare Boone were also played admirably well. In all, the play was a treat to the fastidious play lovers. So much for newspaper eulogy. No sooner was the week's en- gagement over than there appeared dozens of managers from different play-houses throughout the country, eager to secure the Manual Com- pany for their theaters. The highest bid for a six weeks' contract was that offered by the Knickerbocker Stock Co. of New York. The small sum of 31,000,000 was offered and finally accepted. However, Mr. Bohum, the lawyer for the cast, held out for 352,000,000 but his objection was overruled. The six weeks' appearance at New York City was also marked with a complete triumph and success. The comment of the daily papers of that city would ill volumes and encourage the purchase of spectacles. Thus ended the dramatic story of the success of the play in America. Four weeks were then spent on a successful European tour. m The rest of the story can be briefly told. The cities of London, Paris, Bourdeaux, and Rome were visited. Everywhere the play met with approval and admiration. Everywhere it attained international fame. It was then acclaimed the unrivaled dramatic triumph of the twentieth century. . Among the great notables at one of the performances was the author himself, Bernard Shaw, who lauded the play as a perfect interpretation of his personal conception of the play. At another performance were his THE MANUAL, 1920 'Q,:.Xj - --..f2l..f'. 'NWN' 15 IR- 3' rfh. A .., ..... - . . ll, f .- majesty, King George of England, and his royal highness, King Eman- uel of Italy. In order to show their esteemed appreciation and high regard for the Manual performance the former conferred the Grand Order of the Bath upon the personnel of the cast, while the latter monarch bestowed the coveted Order of Macroni, which paid honor to the great wireless inventor, In short, every conceivable honor, from University degrees and medals to freedom of the cities and the seas was bestowed on the members of the cast. Even the EX-Kaiser of Germany lamented the fact that he could not see the play and said that had he known of these European per- formances, he would never had declared war. After some heated dis- cussion by the cast, it was finally decided to send his abdicated High- ness a program to mitigate his grief. Hence, after a seven weeks' world tour, the Manual High School cast returned home covered with glory. Get out of the morgueY shouted the property man. I fell with a thump from the box seat upon which I was sleeping. I pinched my- self and started to shift Scene III. It was all a dream-but- You Never Can Tell . 'By Opium Dreamer. P.

Behold a flash of orange and black above the gold and blue, They are the colors of class and school, and the rose of tender hue Is the emblem of faith and Purity living forever more, As the class of nineteen-twenty goes from out your door. Chorus. We've loved you, old Manual, We've honored you, 'tis true. In books and in athletics, We've fought the fight for you. We chose you, old Manual, From among a score or two And in the end we've no regrets Your mettle's tried and true. To those we leave behind us we'd give a parting thought, Our mark is made in your dear school, upon the halls it's wroughtg So carry on the Worth-While game of holding its banners high, We love the school you cherish and would not say goodbye. We're proud of our Alma Mater, she's given us many a thrill, To the emblems of her glory We've added with a will. We've taken from out the mother school all that Manualites can, From out the halls of Manual and from Manual's Grand Gld Man. 79: - 765: A U.

'W mf Clllass nf '20 Em Bears lawns Oh look at the classy man! ejaculated the blonde clerk as Jac- quin's door opened one day in 1930 and a tall, handsome man with graying temples and a Van Dyke beard walked in. The man stepped up to Mr. jacquin and the blonde clerk Cwho was no other than Alma Olanderj heard him say Is Miss Olander still working here? Buck Wilson, I do believe! cried Alma, rushing to the front- Well, well, Alma, you haven't changed a bit, said Buck, laying his yellow gloves and gold-headed cane on the counter. How are all your folks? Oh, you wouldn't know the old place. I'm living with Maizie in South Bartonville and the place is run over with cats. Maizie is raising pedigreed black ones now. The Cone Angoras were failures, so she turned to black cats, sadly answered Alma. Have you seen any one of the old class of '20 lately? inquired Mr. Wilson. Well, I guess, Alma smilingly replied. HMaizie buys her Kon- densed Kream for Kultured Katz from Karl Kasjens and sometimes his chief engineer, Frank Stringham, delivers it. We haven't heard anything from you, Buck, since l925 when you were here demonstrating your combination ball bat and tennis racquet. Where have you been all the time? Alma asked. Oh, I've been everywhere. I toured around the world last year. I met Mary Applegren and Hattie Myers in Peking, China, and Margaret Harms in Vladivostok. They are doing Y. W. C. A. work said Eugene, swallowing another cough drop. By the way, Buck, did you know that Reeda Eibeck married the manager of the Knox Inn? You'd never know her now. In spite of the fact that she spends half the day overseeing things at the Inn and the other half singing at the Jefferson, she weighs 220 pounds, said Miss Olander. It doesn't seem possible, said Buck. Is Doris still in Clover- dale? Yes, she has a model fruit farm now. She invented a seedless raspberry and she has a corps of experienced farmers to help her, including Warren Stewart, Leo Scott, Ralph Ojemann, Prentice Nibblin and jacob Butsch. Gertrude Dudash, Hilda Pfander and Ruth Sudenga live across the road from Doris, where they raise leg- horn chickens. The nine of them have some lively times together, I understand, the blonde sweetly informed Mr. Wilson. THE MANUAL, 1920 . , J, 1. ' A ' ,Q A. lf?-1 14.,. I i 'P?iil'2f.

On foot wer, Laura Brunner, Flo Claspell, Goldie Fendrick and Rosalia Flesner, each carrying an appropriate banner. Bringing up the rear were Flora Hoffman, Margaret Joyce, Elizabeth McFarland, Alice Meyer and Lucille Hendren. Three mounted policemen attempted to break up the parade and who do you think they were ?-Shorty Cobb Witschi, Stew Waldron and Howard Watkins. But when they recognized their classmates they allowed the parade to proceed. Have a mint, Alma, said Buck. I must tell you whom I saw in Chicago last week. Joe Checkers and Louis Moscove. They are running a Used Clothes Emporium on Michigan Boulevard just across from the Art Institute. Did you know that Ray Knuth bought the Art Institute for a studio and that he was recently jailed and heavily lined for exhibiting his latest masterpiece Venus at the Pump'? Don Brown was judge at the trial and Lyman Brown, State's Attorney, so there was small chance for Ray against the Brown combine in spite of the fact that joe Yuhasz defended him. Yes, replied Alma, I saw an account of that in the New York Times. A good many of the old class are in Chicago. Anna Hill and Muriel Lockwood have a Beauty Parlor in the Maurice Goldberg Building at Thirty-First and State Streets. Kurt Goldberger, who is their advertising manager, wrote the present' popular song entitled, If I Break My Fiddle, Will I Starve to Death? Clarence Barr runs the 19th floor express elevator in the Goldberg building so that he can be near Dorothy Finney, who presides over the Uripless hair net counter on the 19th Hoor. Paula Flach, Rose Adams, and Hazel Peterson are Maurice Goldberg's private secretaries at present, but I heard the other day that Paula is seriously considering committing matrimony. Oh, I could talk for an your about what the bunch is doing. Well, go ahead, said Buck, 'Tm perfectly willing to listen. All right, here goes, said she, as she took another mint. Carl Haelifner runs the Lone Bone Meat Shop on South Washington Street and Whitey Wolfram is his butcher and Eddie McGurk is chief sausage maker. Oh yes, and Howard Brehm is their delivery boy.

It is also the most evenly divided, for of the total September enrollment of 231, 116 were girls and 115 boys. ' Every grade school in the city has at least one representative and the county and suburban schools are well represented in the present Freshman class. Some say that it is quality, not quantity, that counts, but the Freshman class has bothh Miss Earnest says that never before has she had such a lively, intelligent and hard working class. She also declares that it is the best looking class she has ever taught. Of course this year the Freshmen have stood the rebuffs of the conceited f'Sophs and the lofty upper classmen, but Wait until they are Wise Fools and see how they will sepnd their time, wandering about the halls, looking wise and gazing with haughty calm on the mistakes and embarrassment of the poor little freshies. SOPHOMORES The class of 1922 is the largest Sophomore class in the history of Manual. Some people say that all good things come in small pack- ages, but so does poison. The present Sophomore class has in every respect kept up to the standard set for it by the class of '21. The members of this class have been as earnest in their work, as enthusiastic in school activities, and as wild in the halls as their predecessors have alreays been. But this class has acquired some new and very desirable traits. It has produced some artists and literary writers Whose fame shall not cease with the passing away of the name of Sophs. Already there are signs of an Edgar Allen Poe, an Emerson, a Mary Pickford, a Sherlock Holmes and a McCutcheon. This class is unique in another respect. It is the first class to or- ganize in its sophomore year. We hope this rare privilege will be extended to all future sophomore classes that conduct themselves aS properly as did the class of '22. What these peppy sophomores will do when they accept the duties of Juniors remains yet to be seen, but it is safe to say that they will follow in the footsteps of the class of '21 as best they can. 1 .gl w L41 SOPHOMORE CLASS JUNIOR CLASS 5 J .N N sig n - THE MANUAL, l920 ' New Nwxgux , A, Q- .-.mmaffel or -.- --,Me- 'e N JUNIORS From frisky Freshmen to conceited Sophomores and thence to self important Juniors are the three leaps the class of Twenty-One has thus far made toward the final goal. How good the words, Hupper classrnenn sound to the Juniors. Probably the reason is just because it is something new. It seems like a regular title, so you see Juniors just can't help feeling proud of themselves, Shortly after school opened last September, the juniors met in 6B and elected Russel Werner, President, Lucile Cody, Vice-President, Irene Love, Treasurerg and Marguerite Shaw Secretary. A masquerade ball in October was the beginning of a series of suc- cessful social events, which included a very delightful dance at Holly's hall.

The Senior Class held its first meeting on the twenty-third of September, 1919. A president, vice-president, secretary, and treas- urer were elected. At the beginning of the football season it was announced that there would be four home games before the P. H. S. game, Each of the four classes was given charge of a game. The Seniors took charge of the first game and did themselves credit. A good crowd turned out to see Manual take Pekin to the mat by a 12-0 count. On November 12, plans were made for the annual Senior-Junior party. Committees were appointed to take care of different features and to arrange to show the juniors a good time. On account of closing school for want of coal and other reasons the party was not given until February. A majority of both classes turned out and enjoyed the dancing and games in the gym and the music and eats in the sewing room. The Seniors hope the Juniors enjoyed themselves as we know we shall when the juniors return the compliment on June 21 at Bradley Park. The Seniors had charge of the mass meeting preceding the P. H. S. game on Turkey Day and succeeded in arousing at least ninety-nine percent of the loyalty and pep possessed by every Manual student and teacher. The Seniors also held numerous mass meetings to boost the basket- ball team. The class of '20 added another mark of prowess to her collection by defeating Peoria High in the District Basketball Tourney. Man- ual managed the tournament and carried it through to a successful end from a standpoint of finance, and efhcient management. Especially memorable was the pep meeting held on March 17, previous to the sending of the team to the State Tourney at Champ- aign. Manual and Canton put up the first and stiffest game of the tourney. Manual lost by one count only after two 5-minute overtime periods. The track season thus far has been a success, and Manual is still in the running in the favorite sport on the diamond. Manual and Spalding are tied for second place in the baseball league with Peoria leading. Let's hope, dear reader, that when this reaches, you Manual will have downed her opponents and be riding a winged horse of Victory. Qs., THE MANUAL, 1920 i N. .. ., ,, ... As chief executive of the class of '20, I wish to thank in advance, the Junior class for the ellicient services which we know they will render us on class night, june 15, and for the good time which the Junior president has promised us at the Junior-Senior party on june 21. The Commencement exercises are to be held at the Shrine Temple, which will afford everyone who is interested a seat. The Seniors regret to leave Manual because nowhere else will they ever find quite the same environment, the same spirit of democracy as pervades the very air at the dear old school. So here's to you, lower classmen, may your Senior year be as happy as ours and may you cause no more gray hairs to appear on the heads of our respected and beloved teachers than have we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty. -Don Brown, President, Class of '20.

Among the many different varieties of social activities this year have been numerous theatre parties. The year started with a theatre party at the Hippodrome given by a number of our sedate Senior girls. Can you imagine it! But it wasn't a matter of taste, It was a matter of--well, you know. And then-'twas the night before Christmas, The Lyceum was jammed to the street curbing. Reserved seats had been engaged, and the persons participating in this event had no difficulty in pro- curing seats donly two were needed. Refreshments of jumbo peanuts were served during the performance. What an advantage Leap Year has been to the girls, and especially to the bashful boys! On New Year's night a genuine theatre party was given at the Orpheum. Another one was held later in the month by the same persons, but the girls want it understood that this was no Leap Year affair. This time the boys were merely returning the favor of January 1. The Blue Triangle Club gave a theatre party at the Orpheum in March. About twenty-five girls were present. The biggest theatre party of the season was the last and best one. It was given for Paul LaRocca. Tickets were sold at school and everyone was invited to attend. About fifty-seven students at- tended. There is no doubt but that it was a big success in every way. PARTIESW-TAKE YOUR CHOICE. At the opening of school there seemed to be quite a fad', for weiner roasts and hay-rack parties. Fortunately nearly everyone likes weiners-that's if there isn't anything else to eat. Pleasant Hill is an ideal spot for a Weiner roast, and many an enjoyable outing was spent there, But strange to say, the rain is no respeeter of either Weiner roasts or hay-rack parties, and so Proctor or some fair damsel's home became a good substitute for Pleasant Hill in case the weather was unfavor- able.

But does it not also make you think of delicious cider and the crumbling cruller that Irving so well describes? Judging from the number of Halloween festivites given this year, we are sure every student of Manual participated in one of these October reveleries. Christmas vacation was a busy week for everyone. Parties of all kinds were held during that time, and many were the enjoyable afternoons and evenings of the Yuletide season. The New Year's parties were probably the most enjoyable be- cause the revellers could stay longer. The wee hours of the morning hold a certain charm for boys and girls on New Year's Eve. just what that charm is, is rather hard to say. Then the Valentine parties! The symbol of the Valentine, what is it? Those of you who attended one of the many Valentine parties given this year know something of the true spirit of St. Valentine. If ever St. Valentine was present on an occasion held in his honor, he surely was present at the Senior Valentine party. The wearing of the green features dear old St. Patrick's parties. Yes, even St. Patrick was remembered this year and parties in honor of him were held at the homes of various students. CLASS PARTIES. There were the usual number of class parties given this year and it is safe to say that they have been more successful than usual. The Alumni gave a Halloween party in the gymnasium on October 24. The Senior Girls' Club entertained October 2 with a dance. The Junior class gave a masquerade Halloween party in the gymna- sium of the school. The Sophomores gave a very unique party in the gymnasium in February. The semi-annual junior-Senior party was given in February. The juniors held their second party at Holly's Hall, March 12. The class of 1919 held a Bunco party and dance at the school, February 12. ---E-Q MASS MEETINGS. The mass meetings this year have been the peppiest'l and most interesting we have ever had. The students have all enthusiastically boosted the meetings and have taken an active part in making them a success. The faculty and the student body have co-operated to make the mass meetings a time of Ureal funn as well as of instruction. Qlirmelr' - N ---4f- --A.V. -11A -AA,:1 r -KVVVZ ,,. iw .

For ages it has been thc common belief of mortals that woman is the weaker sex. While I have no degrees or authority that signify that I may discuss this fact, I shall take the liberty to do so at my own risk. That woman is the gentler and the weaker specie of human beings is a fixed fact-just like the mayor of Peoria. To keep this discussion from being lengthy like a visit from your mother-in-law, I shall limit my talk to a special specie of the male and the female. To show that the age of chivalry is not past, I will promulgate the female Hrst. For thc female specie I will take the burly cook, who like Macbeth and Uncle Tom's Cabin, seldom plays more than a one night stand. Like the village smith, she has large and sinewy handsg like the Colossus of Rhodes no one towers above her, like the policeman on the corner she has the farce of St. Patrick. She has supreme rule of the home, and rules with iron pan, or iron hand. Her word is like an umpire's decision-it cannot be changed. She is an image of strength, yet she is a woman, and woman is the weaker sex. For the male side of the argument I shall take one of our model dudes or fools of fashion. As thin and as high as the pipe of C on a pipe organ he stands, leaning against a post with one foot slightly in front of the other to keep from falling backwards or forwards, and with his shoulders stooped just enough to be sure that all burdens placed upon them will slide off. He has a complexion like a blade of dry grass and an ex- pression on his face, which shows that he is completely disgusted with this world. And to show that he is not idle he is smoking a filthy weed. There stands the male or the stronger sex. Are women thc weaker sex? If you would succeed, work your tougue little, your lwud much, and your braru most.

The curtain falls upon her first decade. Ten year.s ago ILIanual's doors were flung open to those who desired further education. The yirst classes were very srnall and M. T. H. S. was called the M. T. Cernptyj II. S. Today bonds are being issued for inoney to be spent in the erecting of additional class roorns and a gyrnna- siurn. In her first ten years of existence Manual has niade a sudden rise to fame. It is an accredited high school. Its remarkable honor systeni introduced by Principal W. N. Brown is being coniniended upon and tried by all leading high schools in the country. This tenth year has been a wonderful one, both in scholastic and athletic prowess. The grades have been raised to an average of eighty, and credit has been re-established in accrediting universities. Manual has shown her usual skill and cleanliness in athletics as in years before. Her teanis never quit until the last whistle blows. Within the last ten years four hundred new high schools have been established within the State of Illinois. Iblanual Training High School of Peoria still holds her position among the first. -Ben Harris, Editor.

In these seven years The MANUAL has gained a reputation as one of the best High School magazines in the central West. Ye editor, Ben Harris, has certainly put out a Wonderful book this year and it will undoubtedly go down as Manual's greatest. When school opened this year, the MANUAL was confronted by the greatest problem in its history. Printing had doubled and every other expense had practically tripled, yet the directors set in to pub- lish the book on the same basis as they had in previous years. With the greatest of determination they have Worked to that point and have succeeded in putting out one of the finest books ever published at Manual Without one cent of extra charge to the student body. Humor, and plenty of it, has been the big feature in every issue of The MANUAL this year. The MANUALETTES have been es- pecially fine-just that kind of subtle humor that appeals to every- body. Then, too, Chips Off the Editor's Block, a page filled with the editor's Wit, has certainly given a World of mirth to its readers. The Adventures of Nobody Homes, a serial story, by Terensky has been a very valuable asset to the humor department. Hardly enough praise can be given to the Literary Department for its remarkable work. Every Exchange has commented on the excel- lence of the material. The MANUAL carries more advertising than any other high school paper in the state, outside of the Chicago schools, which goes to show how the business men of Peoria look upon The MANUAL. Too much praise cannot be given to the editor and his faithful assistants. H -Brooks Crosswell. When nature wants a squash, it produces it in a season. When it wants an oak it takes a century.

It was a comfortable dreamy hour, grandmother was gazing thoughtfully into the fire, dreaming of years and years agog Harry's long legs were gracefully festooned over one arm of the chair which he was occupying in a sideways position as he pondered the question of whether or not he would make the team, -but judging from his expression, the prospects were favorable. But thought his sister Edith, who was feeling rather blue, he could afford to be happy. He was only a Junior, here she was a Senior. Only a few more months and she would leave the old school. Next year seemed so uncertainecollege, perhaps, but it would never be the same. The old bunch would break up. And then when we come back, she thought, it will all be differ- ent. Schools will be different then perhaps. Students will be inter- ested in different things. 'fGranny, she suddenly burst out, were schools very much different when you were a girl? I don't mean the studies, but the people-you know what I mean. As long as people are the same, I suppose schools will be the same, returned Granny. U 'Twas many a year ago that I went to school. I was graduated way back in l920. That was in the days just after the great world war, when politics all over the world was in turmoil. In those days children stopped their play to look up when they heard the hum of a motor overhead. Half of our modern in- ventions were unknown then. Do you mean to say that aerplanes were new when you were a girl?l' asked Harry waking up from his reverie. Why I thought they were ever so much older than thatf' T V' 1'. THE MANUAL, 1920 . ... --- Perhaps not new as new things go in this day and age, said grandmother, but as an every day practical means of transportation they were extremely new. Who were some of the people you were graduated with, grand- mother? began Edith, still persisting in her first thought. She really wondered if Granny still remembered-whether one would remember after years and years when everything was so different. Well, began grandmother, one girl I remember particularly for her friendliness. I have never since met a girl as friendly with everyone as she. Her name was Ruth Goldstein. Then another whose hair I will remember till my dying day was Irene Beeny. There was really a wonderful amount of it-the hair I mean. Perhaps it was her 'crowning glory' that made her seem dignified until one knew her better. Oh, Edith brightened visibly. If one remembered such details as one's hair, then growing up was not so strange after all. Who were some of your football stars? asked Harry, looking back upon football and forward to basketball. Well, there was Buck Vl'ilson. He, I think, would be considered our chief football and basketball star, Buck wouldn't have been graduated with us if he hadn't been away to war as were so many other Manual boys who followed their country's colors. Frank Stringham was another football star, who had been in the navy the year before. ' Our Senior year was a fine one for athletics. Manual won all but two of her football games Cone of these two was the famous Manual- Peoria Thanksgiving gamej and the good work was repeated in basket- ball season. Our old rival, Peoria High, bowed down to us in the District Tournament after our having met defeat twice previously at her hands. Did you have a school magazine? asked Edith. One of the finest in the state. The only trouble lay in getting the students to write for it. Ben Harris was the editor, Charles Toms, business manager, and Kurt Goldberger, circulation manager. Besides these there were numerous department editors and three able staff stenographers, Rosa Adams, Laura Brunner, and joseph Checkers. Miss Rabold, our faculty advisor, not only helped us with the actual work, but kept our enthusiasm always alive so that a great deal of credit for the fine quality of the work produced belongs to her. ,ff fe mga? ,, ,,v, E F1 UP 5 UP I-' .. so N Q -N :NX ,XSS xiws Q:z ::a: tw- wfttttt me xs., -. st . .x X :....:s:. 1:::.1::: .1211-1 ----za S- NM-1.xRf3x+:::al,,.4:.1.s.e5ggmN-wg,- ,,-,V A, - ,,-, -gif., ffrr -rrr - A- ---'- , 'Ye Ed' was also the chief source of all humor, he was never serious quite five minutes at a time. His pal, Kurt Goldberger, was small but mighty. Kurt talked quite quickly and Ben talked quite slowly but they both talked quite continually. Another pair of pals was Doris Elsesser and Reeda Eibeck. Reeda was our young nightingale, and a mass meeting 'for a game' or any other celebration was never quite complete unless Reeda was there to sing. Doris carried a mischevious fun loving spirit under a calm exterior. Another conscientious girl was Thelma Duncan. Thelma would never answer a question after it had been whispered, even though she knew it before, for fear it had been suggested to her subconscious mind, and she loved to put herself out for fine points of honor. One would never have guessed from Flora Hoffmarfs laughing manner that she was studious, but she could frequently be seen of an afternoon writing her chemistry notes. Flora's notes were always written up-to-date, this, sad to relate, was not always the case with some of the rest of the class. I'Another habitant of the chemistry laboratory was Jacob Butsch, but not for the purpose of writing notes-far be it from jacob. He wandered about putting things together to see what they would do. He was a very fortunate youth, or he would never have lived to graduate in which case Carl Hartwig, his 'Fides Achates' would also not have sur- vived, as he was always in close proximity to Jacobi. The long and the short of it, continued grandmother, smiling, Uwere Alice Meyer and Helen Walters. Alice was quite frank about. her height, but Helen was always eager to claim a few extra inches. Not only in athletics and other school activities but also in our studies were we a very active class. One boy, the valedictorian, held a record that I am very sure very few students anywhere have ever equalled. All his grades but one were over ninety and that one was eighty-nine. He had nineteen and a half credits so that he really did five years' work in four. He was a tall, friendly lad, especially interested in sciences and politics. We were certainly all very proud of Ralph Ojeman and are now that he has won fame in the world just as he had in our little school world. The average of the salutatorian, Hilda Pfander, was a close second to Ralph's. Hilda will always stand out in my mind for her energy and her high ideals. No temptation could keep Hilda from doing what she thought was right, and she was activity itself as far as les- f ,Aff THE MANUAL, l9ZO Eiga-r v - ' 414 55',li-Fi: ffmf ....,. -if-3. Z?

Yes, grandmother sighed. It's many a year since our class held its first meeting. Don Brown was chosen President, Flo Claspell, Vice-President, Alma Olander, Secretary, and Mildred Land, Treas- urer. The class of'20 did its part in athletics, in studies, and all school activities. We were very sorry to leave old Manual and I often look back on those days as the happiest of my life. Grandmother looked silently into the fire awhile before she turned and said, So you see, Edith, schools were the same then as now. Remember, children, that there is where you lay the foundation for the rest of your life and store up memories to think about by the Fireside in years to come as I have done tonight. -Henriette Seeba. SPRING Give me the Spring, O Heav'n, be kind, And bring The butterflies and honey bees The birds that twitter in the trees. And sing.

A man may-no-muchgf' His voice was lost in the maze of my thought, and I took a journey into the Land of Fancy. In my dream-ship I finally arrived at the famous Cave. Gracefully floating through the entrance, I beheld a strange mixture of aboriginal and Bohemian life. A small, slender girl with bright, bobbed hair stood near the entrance, entirely absorbed in her work. Advancing, I contemplated addressing her, but I was halted by a hand placed upon my arm. Turning, I was surprised into speechlessness upon seeing one of my old teachers. He was a round, smiling, little man, dressed in a short white tunic and sandals. He smilingly addressed me: May I be of service to you, Miss? I nodded in saucer-eyed confirmation. He went on, You speak English? Yes? I thought so. I shall be your guide, and conduct you through thisidreadful cave of punish- ment. These poor people have all done something dreadfully wrong, and are being punished for it in various ways. They are punished by being deprived of the privilege of speaking the English language, they speak only an indescribable jargon. That young lady by the door constantly 'ditched' her classes at school, and wasted her time in idle talk. She must now do penance for her sin. Three years she must spend here, carving images in these stalagmites. She will probably never leave, however, for she is entirely absorbed in her work. I curiously observed the girl, who was neatly dressed in an artist's smock. Then, as heavenly strains of music drifted to my ears, we moved to the entrance of another section of the cave. Here, clad in Hoating draperies, glided a rotund form, dipping and whirling in a graceful dance. Then-abruptly the soothing melody ceased, the young man struck a dramatic pose, and the notes of a familiar cadence struck my astonished ears. A'Walter's in love, Walter's in love, Ohln He halted on seeing us, and a confused expression appeared on his countenance. He advanced doubtingly toward me, then suddenly I -I rf' 5, X I THE MANUAL, l920 I I . ,Q j?1i'f '?f . 1 4 1:41:21 U: ,...... .. . ,g..:, ,f E3?L'+-f':f1r-W '----- ..,. . fif, ---, 1,: ,. ..... f,.1 2 dropped to his knees, hid his face, and emitted piteous sobs and cries. Why-why-that's Buck! I exclaimed. Yes, sadly spoke my guide. l'Those are the only English words he can speak. He was always singing to torment someone, and he has received that as a punishment. Almost moved to tears, I passed on to the next cavern. A pleasing combination of voices came to me, and I was sur- prised to see a group of my old school-mates. They were dressed in scanty attire, their bodies were stained a coppery brown, and weird but fascinating sounds issued from their throats. Why John! I stammered. He was teaching the three Howards and Leo his latest composition. What have they done? I inquired. I don't remember about the others, but John'sirrepressible spirits were the cause of his downfall. Hjvyq Jbzrena rnsgrezrl screeched a wild-looking person, as he landed, cowering and trembling at my guide's feet. There, there, Lester. Don't take on so, soothed my com- panion. ' What in the world did he say? I ejaculated. 'The wild women are after me. He constantly has such spells, poor fellow. I extended my sympathy, but as the victim's eyes rested on me, a fearful yell rent the air, and he fled in terror, escaping in a few wild leaps. Turning to Watch him, I beheld a masterpiece of architecture. Four girls were working heroically at a gigantic task. Floe, Mary, Rosa, and Margaret were building a matchless structure of stalagmites and stalactites. What is that? I wanted to know. Crystal Palace, he replied. When it is finished, a genie shall sit in triumph upon the throne, and rule a group of students who habitually 'ditch' hours at school. After these four builders complete the palace, the students must enter, and together with the genie they shall be sealed in the palace, where they may be seen by all visitors, as an example of the punishment accorded those who 'ditch'. But what of the four builders? ' They were captured by mistake, and that is the lightest sentence imposed here. Well, what about those two young men over there? I think I recognize them. -'q i ,..' g g ga t THE MANUAL, 1920 AVVV 5 P . Ei.. im aa - , .... - a..--a fc-'23 Yes, they are Kurt and Benny. They were so distracted trying to find material for their paper that they finally decided to try a fool- hardy adventure, and applied to the King of the Genii for admission here. They expect to get a great scoop. Gladly I rushed to the pair and started to talk, but to my dismay, they replied in incomprehensible jargon. They are not punished in that way, too, are they? I remon- strated. No, was the rejoinder. They can only interview these people here by talking that language, you see. And the rule is that a person cannot speak both that tongue and English. But what of you? Do you understand it?l' Yes. That is a special privilege extended to me in return for my services as guide. Going further, we heard sounds of great merriment. What's that? I asked. Merely Warren entertaining the girls. Miss Topping dropped him from her English class because he would never agree with her. Is Bill here? Oh, we'll find him later on. He is always engaged in an argument with our most brilliant genie. He must continue doing that until he promises never to argue again. A little further on we encountered Prentice and Joe. A group of my old schoolmates Cgirls, of course,j surrounded them, and I was astonished to see how the two boys enjoyed it. Why are those two here? I'm sure they are well behaved, I remarked. Really, I don't remember, Nothing very bad, I can assure you but they are destined to entertain those girls incessantly until their release. Not knowing what to expect, I eagerly anticipated my next sur- priseeand it was a surprise. Turning into a tunnel running across the main cavern, I heard what seemed like rushing, hissing, sucking water. One more turn, and I came abruptly upon a seething whirlpool.

The various organizations of the school have been unusually active this year. After the war was over, the girls of Manual decided that they didn't want to give up the good work which was accomplished under the Patriotic League, so they organized the Blue Triangle Club for the purpose of continuing the good work started last year. Peoria High also has a club of this nature and it is hoped that the two clubs may sometime have a joint meeting. During the last few months the girls gave a slumber party, a theatre party, a stunt show and a scrip dance. Although the scrip dance was not well attended, a jolly time was reported from those who did attend. Plans are being made by the girls of the club to send several rep- resentatives to the Y. W. C. A. Conference at Lake Geneva in july. The girls are planning to go camping for a week at the Y. M. C. A. cottage this summer. This will be one way of spending a week of real joy for the small sum of 36.00. VVe are hoping that many girls will want to spend this week at the cottage with the club. BOYS' GLEE CLUB. The Boys' Glee Club has been very active the last semester. The boys practice the second hour every Friday but many who really enjoy music have been unable to practice at this hour because they have other studies at this period. The boys made their most successful appearance at the Sunday Sing given by the public schools at the Shrine Temple. The members of the Glee Club are: Paul Checklin and Edward McGurk, first tenorsg Russell Werner and Bruno Zagel, second tenorsg jacob Butsch, Kary Kasjens, Howard NVatkins, first bassg Geo Moehlen- hof, Mervin Sours, Merle Forster and Arthur Wilde, second bass. It is hoped that next year some arrangement can be made whereby those who give school time to the study of music or who practice in Orchestra or Glee Clubs be given credit for their time and work. SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB. The Senior Girls' Club has been an interesting organization this year. The girls organized at the beginning of the year and elected a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer with Miss Topping as faculty advisor. .pvfwg .Q .. THE MANUAL, 1920 . sms ., The Hrst thing of interest which they did was to give a party for the Senior boys. This was a great success and everyone had a good time. The next month came the big football game on Thanksgiving with Peoria High. A sale of orange and black flowers and mega- phones was planned and about thirty dollars was cleared. Twenty- five dollars of this was given to The Manual. THE SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB. In January a play, The Kleptomaniacf' was presented by seven of the girls. Fifty-four dollars was cleared. The play was coached by Miss Bunch and of course, success was due as usual to Miss Bunch's work and interest. Twenty-live dollars of this was given toward the Senior number of 'iThe Manual. About thirty dollars is left in the treasury. The girls are planning to have a picnic sometime before school closes. Q R i25v n A' 1 -ji 'lmrmj' x g 1 1: 'L L - , xg . I . J I :I A BIBLE!

When Cicero visited our Latin class about a month ago, we ex- plained to him that we would soon be graduated and of course we invited him to attend the exercises. He readily consented to come if leave could be obtained from Pluto and Proserpine. Then much to our astonishment he asked what we would like for graduation gifts. All of us immediately began thinking of some bit of curiosity from the lower worldg but our thoughts were quickly forgotten when the most imaginative one of our number exclaimed, Oh, I know what I should like to have-my fate, direct from Sibylf Do you think you could get it, Mr. Cicero? At this, other members of the class excitedly chimed in, I do, too! Oh, wouldn't it be nice! Please do give us our fates as presents, Mr. Cicero. When Marcus Tullius thought his voice could be heard above our chatter, he shook his head and smiled, saying: Students of the Roman language, I would gladly comply with your request but find it im- possible to do so, as Sybil, prophetess of Apollo, never allows the leaves with men's fates written on them to be taken from the cave. Try to think of something else you would like for a present. Not to be so easily defeated of knowing her fate the adventure- some one again spoke. But, Mr. Cicero, can't you take us to Sibyl's cave so we can really see our fates inscribed on the leaves? Donlt you think you could get another leave of absence from King Pluto and his wife? Seeing the eager look on her face, Cicero said he was sure such a trip could easily be planned as he was already granted the afternoon of May eighth to dispose of as he wished because of some kind service he had rendered to the ruler of the Stygian realm. He also said that we might have about twenty in our party. He would probably have gone into more particulars concerning our visit to Sibyl, had he not suddenly realized that he was due in the Elysian Fields in three min- utes. However, as he vanished from sight, he called back to us: 'AI shall meet you in this room at 1:30 P. M. Try to be ready at that time. Long before the appointed hour aicrowd of excited and eager students were assembled in 15C. Each had a different opinion as to the conveyance our host would provide for the journey.

And so every other means of transportation ever used or heard of was suggested as that probably chosen by Cicero. But he used none of them. Upon his arrival,-he presented each of us with a delicate orchid of rare beauty. Then he addressed us thus: Let each smell his flower and wake to find himself before the cave of Sibyl. Let each keep his flower so that he can be transplanted back into his own home tonight. We did as commanded and were carried off into a sweet dream to awake before Sybil's cave. Cicero then led us into Sibyl's abode, a spacious cave, the sides of which were lined with shelves. At first, we were a bit afraid of the wrinkled old Woman, but we liked her very much after Cicero introduced us to her. She then bade us search the shelves for the leaves containing our fates. jacob was the first to put himself in action, and he soon came to a leaf bearing these few words, Butsch, tenor of world-wide fame. Henriette advanced curiously and eagerly to a leaf which Cicero said bore her fate. The leaf said that Henriette would be writing poetry and prose almost by the pound in order to fill contracts with publishing houses. Cicero found Ray Knuth too bashful to find his, so Cicero said, Hither, Ray, and pointed out a certain bright leaf to him. Ray discovered that he would soon have contracts with so many beautiful movie actresses to paint their portraits that it would take almost a lifetime to ill the contracts. Ruth had loitered on the way and had just arrived at the cave. She ran up to Cicero and said, Which is mine? Pray tell. Cicero led her to a dancing, gay, little leaf which said that Ruth would live a happy life painting children's portraits. Hilda was darting quickly about, trying to find on which leaf was her fate when she collided with Ralph. Right before them on two leaves were their fates. Hilda's leaf said that she would be a missionary to India, teaching a number of little children everything from Genesis to Revelations. Ralph's fate, which seemed queerly near Hilda's, said that he would soon be a preacher in India, likewise preaching everything from Genesis to Revelations. Louis read from his leaf that in about thirty years hence when he has had time to gain influence in politics, he would run for governor of Illinois. Now Louis is anxiously waiting for the returns of that election to come. 1 -ff ' ,iii . THE MANUAL, 1920 Rx Gm 5 Qgxef: S Q i Q i The leaf which bore Thelma's name gave a lengthy description of her future life as a successful business woman. The description ended with these words: You will ever be a sweet tempered girl, the idol of your friends. Karl Kasjens read a leaf which made him resigned to this fatei Ever will your social life be gay, your business prosperous, and your home life happy. Mary and Hattie were rushing around until they came to two pretty leaves close together which bore their fates. They were both to be social reformers and great Y, W. C. A. workers. Flora discovered on a bright little leaf that in the realm of music would she find fame and happiness. Ruth Vauters was wandering aimlessly around the cave, more interested in the fate of others than her own, when someone called, Oh Ruth, here's yours. Ruth then learned that she would be the owner and manager of a large dairy farm. Clarence Whitfield found his fate on a leaf on the topmost shelf. As a business man, Clarence is to be very successful. Don found that he would be a second Wallace Reid and would be adored by all girls. Maurice is to go back to Russia to help reconstruct the government. Elizabeth's life was destined to be one of helpfulness in the field of nursing. All fortunes having been discovered we were now ready to depart. We thanked Cicero for our unusual presents and we also thanked Sibyl for her hospitality. We bade Sibyl and Cicero good-bye and were about to depart when Ruth said, Oh, where's my orchid? We were glad that such a loss had been discovered before the rest ofus had gone because just think what a calamity it would have been to have left one of our number to spend the rest of her days with Sibyl. For a few moments the leaves on the shelves were grandly stirred around in our efforts to find Ruth's orchid. Then Cicero said, Miss Sudenga, I believe you have been using your orchid as an ornament in your hair. Ruth blushed and immediately took the pretty orchid from her hair. Again we bade Sibyl and Cicero a warm farewell, and then we smelled our orchids. We were wafted back to 15F in a sweet dream. -H. M. P. and T. A. D.

I don't want to work today somehow. We gasped. When our star spoke thus, what hope was there for the rest of us? just at this critical moment the sun, in the shape of Cicero's round, jovial face, broke through our clouds. True to our expectations he brought snap shots with him, quite a bundle of them all printed on popyrus. The packets in which they were enclosed bore the seal of the Tullian gens which Cicero has made so illustrious. We were soon fairly launched on the perusal of the pictures. This, said Cicero, is not so good as it might be, but you see I had to summon Orpheus, who played on his lyre so that the wheel might stop, and just as I was snapping the picture, Orpheus got a cramp in his hand and dropped his lyre. Simultaneously the wheel started moving so that the picutre is somewhat blurred. Of course this was none other than Ixion, and considering the circumstances, I think you'll agree that it's a pretty good picture. This, he continued, is Orpheus himself, playing to Eurydice. You can see that they are happy in each other even in the world of shades. I could not have taken so many, he continued, as we exclaimed over the fine specimens, had it not been for the help of the good Aeneas. Aeneas had, as it seems, taken a fancy to the pastime which the fun loving Marcus had introduced into the Elysian fields and kept his friend and himself supplied with Elms so that they could experiment along this line on Mt. Olympus. Some of the best of these were taken of Diana in her role of Selene, goddess of the moon, watching over the sleep of the beautiful Endy- miong another of the same lithe-limbed goddess sending her gentle dart to the heart of Orion as he fades in the East. Then there was Venus playing with her little son, Cupid and the white armed Hera riding in her chariot yes, CCicero was bound to secrecy by Aeneasj that same ox-eyed queen scolding jupiter. One that Cicero had taken was of Aeneas, stern and imperious, you may be sure. Pluto must have been in on it, too, for otherwise how could Cicero have gotten a picture from the accursed Tartarus? Yet there they were, the forty-nine daughters of Danaus, drawing water in a sieve. lg ,fix A . , , ,X THE MANUAL, 1920 - i f .,,, an or W we , i ,,,..,z.-ag Besides Orpheus and Eurydice, the packet contained such char- acters from the Elysian fields as Diomeded of the loud War cry, several of the Amazons, proud Hector of the glancing helm Walking beside a stream with his Wife Andromecha and his little son Astyanax. There too old Priam sat discoursing with the sages, surrounded by his many sonsg but one, the god-like Alexandros, that Hgeepern after girls, was powdering his nose with a puff which Cicero had purchased for him in the upper World. A few miscellaneous ones were Charon and his barge, Cerberus, after Orpheus had lulled him to sleep, and the dread Tysiphone guard- ing the gates or Tartarus. We were just going to break the seal of another packet when the bell for the end of the class rang, and Cicero bade us good morning. -Henrietzfe Seeba, '20. CONVERSATINO INTER GNAEUM ET CORNELIUM.

Did you ever stop and consider that here in the heart of Manual is a live, active Commercial World presided over by an efficient corps of teachers under the supervision of the head of the Commercial Department, Mr. D. C. Hilling? The greater part of this small but important world is situated on C floor. It consists of two well equipped typewriting rooms, one shorthand room, two bookkeeping rooms where the salesmanship, economics and commercial law classes are held by Mr. Hilling, and the large study halls, where the spelling and penmanship classes are conducted by Miss Burns. On B floor is the commercial geography class room, where Miss Illingworth reigns. The commercial students are taught the fundamentals of math- ematics by five capable instructorsiMiss Giles, Miss Kincaid, Miss Brown, Mr. Moon and Mr. johnson. Mr. Moon, our football coach, and Mr. Johnson have classes in bookkeeping and Mr. Mercer has charge of the civics classes. In the study hall on C floor you will find Miss Burns drilling pupils in penmanship and spellingi The type- writing and shorthand classes are conducted by M,ss Clements, Miss Stiel, and Miss Bibo. A better corps of conmercial teachers could not be found anywhere. The very fact that Manual students have always taken the lead in both local and state contests is sufficient evidence of the standard and quality of the work. That Manual students have done good work this year is shown by the number of certihcates won in the past few months. Miss Stiel, Miss Bibo, and Miss Clements are largely responsible for the excellent work done. Throughout the entire year they have given students practice tests each week to increase their rate of speed.

During their Senior year, quite a number of the commercial students have been working after school and on Saturdays. This shows that the students of the Class of 1920 are industrious. Working after school or on Saturdays gives students experience which will be of great value to them when they start on their career in life.

GOLDIE BROWN TROPHY WINNER Friday, May 13 was a lucky day for the winner of the Goldie Brown Trophy offered to the member of the beginning Shorthand Class attaining the highest average for the year. The winner was Katherine Weisser whose average for the year was 96 per cent. The second prize was a gold eversharp pencil won by Delia Poshard. We are proud to say that the boys were represented in this contest too. Louis Michel won third place and was awarded a fountain pen. The fourth and fifth prizes were won by Katherine Streitmiller and Vera Folkers each of whom received a copy of next year's textbook, the Gregg Speed Studies. Five other students, Leona Powley, Marie Behrens, Mildred Clark, Florence Hopkins, and Marjorie Burton received honorable mention for their good work. The high averages attained by the majority of the three sophomore shorthand classes attest the efficient instruction of Miss Stiel,' Miss Bibo, and Miss Clements. The splendid spirit and cooperation of teachers and students of the stenographic department are reflected in the character of the results shown in this contest.

As in every department some students in the Manual Arts depart- ment deserve more praise than others because of their unusual skill in handling Various problems, but we do not Wish to Write an article in praise of these stars or one in denunciation of the less fortunate. Consequently we shall mention no names in this article although We do wish to thank the boys, one and all, for the splendid work which has been done this year. All work done in the shops and drawing rooms will be on exhibi- tion on Open Night and we will let the observers decide on the real quality of the Work done this year. DRAWING ROOM. The drawing department is one of which little is heard during the school year but, O boy, how this department does shine in the fall at the Implement Fair. It surely is a drawing deparment inmore Ways than one. l Q ' 'L THE MANUAL l920 Wing A AS, an .W -,,,.-, in : -ff , gp -, t . - X X 1? N min, ' ' .U ua ,L 0 There were in all 193 students enrolled in this department this year, of which 126 were beginners, 32 cabinet work designers, 9 machine designers, 10 architects, 5 perspective draftsmen and 1 automobile designer. The list of problems in furniture design this year has been excep- tionally large. Students have been given much latitude in working out and designing their own problems. In most cases a boy was al- lowed to make a design for which he had some especial need or desire and when the design was approved, he was given the problem of constructing it. Footstools, taborets, hall trees, book racks, magazine racks, writing desks, pedestals, dressing tables, library tables, cedar chests, tea wagons, piano benches, dressers, and four poster beds are a few of the main things designed and constructed by the boys of this department. The architectural drawing class is perhaps the most interesting class in drawing work because here the boys have a chance to design their future homes. The boys are not limited to the mere designing of their homes, but they may actually paint them in colors to suit their own individual tastes. CThey have only one now to pleaselj But the boys did not stop designing when they had completed their own individual homes, but they continued to make designs for bunga- lows, two story frame houses, flats and garages. In addition they drew designs for farm dwellings and buildings, such as stock and hay barns, silos, double hen-houses, hog houses, cattle barns, etc. The designs in all cases included plans, elevations, and all details. The automobile design class has not gained great popularity as yet, but it will be as popular as the other classes just as soon as it becomes generally known what valuable work this class expects to do. The students of these classes wish to thank both Mr. Cullings and Mr. Chance for the help they have given the boys of this department. WOOD SHOPS. The boys in the wood working shop are at first compelled to do some rather elementary work, such as the making of joints and the handling of various tools..

It can be easily seen that the boys chose to make very useful articles. Mr. Cullings and Mr. Graff are responsible to a large degree for these fine results. MACHINE SHOP. The machine shop students have made some excellent work this year, and next year with an enlarged machine shop it is safe to say that the work done will far surpass that of this year. Many use- ful tools have been made by the boys of this department this year. It would take many pages to name every article which has been made, but a mention of a few will suggest the kind of work the boys havebeen doing. Seven drill presses, three hand grinders, many surface gauges, match box holders, parts of machine lathes, etc. are among the articles made. Seven drill presses may seem a small number for a class to make, but when one considers that there are approximately twenty parts to one of these drill presses and that some of these parts are very intricate and require hours of time to make, the number may not seem so small. EEEDEUUEEUEUUDUUEEEUDDUDDDEEUED D Q umestin brienne Utes E UDDEUEEEED mmmwnmmnm1EEDEEDEDDE ls there anyone who does not admire a well dressed man or woman? Of course there are the exceptional few who care nothing about one's personal appearance or who do not know what constitutes a well dressed person, but on the whole it is safe to say that the vast majority of people like to see a person who is appropriately dressed. And it must be admitted that this is a day and age in which much attention is being paid to one's personal appearance. But it is only the girl who can sew and make her own clothes that is indeed 'thrice blessed' these days. She not only saves money, but at the same time can have more clothes than a girl who must buy everything ready made. Some girls are unusually fortunate in having mothers who sew for them, but there comes a time when every girl should be able to do a few things for herself. In Sewing isn't a thing that is learned in a day. In the freshman year many moans and groans are heard when the girls are making their note books. lt does seem quite useless to make those abominable seams, those unreasonable stitches, and those tedious collars. But when it comes to making that first dress, what joy and comfort it is to be ablc to actually apply the knowledge learned from the note book. The note book work no longer seems an unnecessary thing. but a most valuable and essential requirement. But to be well dressed a girl must wear a suitable and becoming hat and it is needless to say that the girls this year made jaunty, good looking hats that cost far less than those purchased at the stores. But there is another side of a girl's education that should not be neglected. Every girl ought to know how to cook a good nutritious meal. The art of cooking isn't quite so easy as it appears on the surface, for to select food which will constitute a well balanced meal requires some knowledge of food values. Yes, of course the girls do know how to bake pies, cakes, and bread and how to cook everything from a fat juicy steak to a mock rabbit. They even know how to butcher a cow, a hog, or a lamb. The butcher shop is no riddle to them now. just ask some of the members of the class to let you see the drawings of the different cuts of meat. Boys, these Manual girls are fine cooks and may it be your lot to some day know more about their cooking ability than even the editor of this department. FT' f raeef t r D G A A THE FREE HAND DRAWING CLASS. Little has been said in the Manual this year about the Free Hand Drawing class in charge of Miss Josephine Gilbert. Of course little need be said when the work speaks for itself. Have you noticed the various posters that have decorated the walls of Manual at different times during the year, and especially have you noticed the many pos- ters made for the class play, You Never Can Tell. It is strange that you never can tell who make these postersf'-but the truth of the matter is they were all made in the Free Hand Drawing Class. Not only has this class made posters for the various plays given, but it has helped to advertise all the activities of the school, The unique placards that helped to remind all of their choice of language during Good English week were made by this class. So Hne is the lettering on some of these placards that they are still adorn- ing the walls of Manual. VVhile this class is striving to reveal beauty. it is learning to handle practical problems as well. It is not commercializing art but rather attempting to bring art into the realm of commercialism. Excellent examples of this practical work may be seen in the unique but artistic advertisements that the members of this class have made. Every possible thing from that of Orange VVhistle to that of Chippendale furniture and automobiles is made in this class. Ex- amine the work and you will readily see that these advertisements make their appeal without giving offense. The results, however, have meant much labor and time, but who is not willing to give both when results are worth while! The following have done very commendable work: Gus Herbstrith, Bonita Zam, Anna Brandt, Isadore Terensky, Ruth Crane, Hero Poppen, Herman Prager, Charles Rcnner, Grace Ojeman, Marvel Millard, Mayme Boyer, Ruth Crane, Thelma Stewart. --11111111 Brandt. if lx ' ' :Q , RQ X fl ' 0, F My 'W ' .

As the school year of 1919-20 draws to a close, Manual finds herself finishing a period of eight years of great success in athletics. In 1912 Manual put her first foot- ball team in the Held. For the past eight years the Orange and Black has found her- self represented by teams which would do credit to any college. The football team of 1919 has set a pace and established a record of which every true son of Manual is immensely proud. Not only did this team win more games than any former team, but it registered twice as many points during the entire season as did other Manual teams. The return of Coach Moon was an inspiration to every Orange and Black recruit. Previous to his return from service there was much speculation as to whether or not he would return and if he did, whether or not he would coach football again at the school. On the first day of school, September ll, Coach Moon was on hand, looking as fine as ever, with an additional thirty pounds sprinkled over two hundred and twenty. The first week of school there was not a single drill held, but on Monday, Sep- tember eighteenth, eighteen suits were given out and by the next Friday, Coach Moon had thirty-five candidates going through a little scrimmage and rolling exercises at the Proctor. But the first two weeks are always the hardest. Many young aspirants to foot- ball fame could be seen limping down the hall the next day after the first scrimmage. From the previous year Manual had Haeffner, Delaney, Gimbel, Brown, Ruch, Hindle, Harris, Yuhasz, Goldberger, Werner and Stein, from which to mold a team. Besides these old men of previous experience, there were Stringham and Wilson, ex- service men. Never did the chances for a wonderful team seem brighter for Manual. By the end of the first two weeks, the team began to take shape and on the first Saturday in October, Manual took Pekin into camp at Lake View Park by the count of 12-0. The weather was anything but ideal and this slowed the team up considerably. Once more we went back to the old grind and by the next Friday we were ready to meet University High of Normal. We did meet them too. The affair took place on the Peoria High field, and despite the high grass which seemed to help our opponents better than us, we emerged with the long end of the score, 13 to 2.' By this time the team, which was pretty well rounded into shape, was composed of Harris and Stein, endsg Wilson and Yuhasz, tacklesg Stringham and Hiltbolt, guardsg Ruch, center, Brown and Gimbel, quarterbackg Delaney, full, and Haeffner and Hindle, halves. The following Saturday we boarded the Traction for Springfield, where we evened up for the previous defeat in 1917. Yuhasz played a whale of a game that day and claims that a foot-ball team like an army, travels low and on its stomach and from the way the score looked, we must have traveled some that day. VVe nearly lost our right end on this trip, as he manifested such interest in one of the fairer sex in the ten-cent store in Springfield that he tried to borrow money enough from the team to stay over Sunday. We did succeed in bringing him back, though! We now prepared ourselves for t.he worst. The next week we completely sur- prised and annoyed the Princeton team from up state by defeating them at Lake View Park by the score of Gl to 0.

MW W1 ,,,,, .ns 1, ,::::f5if, -f-' 3'--5.--ffv iztig Q V Wi After many frequent and fast end runs we kicked up our heels to the Princeton boys and crossed their goal line nine times. We hammered the line and when we tired of this, we carried the oval around end for a score. Harvey Delaney threatened to turn the game into a track meet when he raced ninety yards toward the Princeton goal. The team was showing wonderful fight and spirit by this time and as the season progressed, the line learned how to sift through fast, the ends drove the play toward the center and the backfield was hitting the line and circling the ends like veterans. But luck was against us. The next Saturday we were to go to Bloomington, but the Friday previous to the game on Saturday, word was received that the game was called off. Everybody loathes disappointments, especially a football team! But we swal- lowed this bitter pill of disappointment and were relieved the following Monday when a notice was posted, stating we would play Bloomington the next day. Once more we drew the aces and before the last whistle we had crossed the Bloom- ers' goal post three times, while they were able to gain a scant few yards on a double pass play from center to full back. After the game we ate at the People's Hotel and Cabaret, where the cockroaches entertained us by going through some strenuous antics on the sugar bowls and dishes. It was great and lasted until train time. We did not visit any of the ten-cent stores this time as it wasn't Saturday night. ' The following week we reached our climax. We had heard of the steam roller tactics of the Macomb preps, of their light but fast line, and of their well balanced backfield. Instead of loafing on the job the first Monday in the week and not having a practice, Coach Moon had us out rolling around on Widenham, hitting the dummy and going through various other hardening up exercises. It was about this time that Yuhasz started out to show up the rest of the team by his wonderful form in turning flip-flap and wagon wheels. And if anyone doubts that joe succeeded in doing the things he attempted, let him walk up to Joe some day and examine the marks made by the resting place of some pebbles, which heretofore were the property of Proctor. Nevertheless we went over to McDonough County the following Saturday and pushed the oval over the white line twice, besides booting it over once from the thirty- yard line, while the Macomb team rolled the pill over our 'line but once in forty minutes. And, say boy, talk about a good time! After the game the boys were the guests of the Senior class in the high school gym- nasium. We played some wonderful games there-Cwhere all the 'lights were turned out.D The feature of the evening was a solo dance, Interpretation of Victory, by Pauliska Moonskwoff and Miss Lena King, a teacher of the Macomb High School. But these good times soon disappeared: we had to settle down for the coming game with Galesburg and the last game with Peoria High. Long nights of drilling and signal drills were held previous to the fray with Gales- burg. Part of the game with the Knox County boys we fought, part of it we did not. Anyway it was a pretty comfortable feeling to know that the fray was over, and al- though we did not carry home the old bacon that night from Galesburg, we did carry a few broken bones. We sure were a sorry and dilapidated looking band as we gathered around the Burlington station to wait for the train which carried us back home. He only is defeated 'whose spirit is broken. L 5 552 . THE MANUAL, l920 er- j-gg g jxlsx Y fs Though we were somewhat broken in body, we were not in spirit and we took a long week's rest which we were sorely in need of before our annual Thanksgiving battle. After two nights of hard work and general going over, we were pronounced fit and able to step on the bluff lads and we certainly felt that way, too! We marched out triumphantly on the field and after a short exchange of words between the two captains, Peoria High kicked off to us and we pushed the ball across Peoria High's goal line in five plays. But it could not last long. The Peoria High clan hammered our ends to their heart's content with line shifts and backfield plays. The Orange and Black line men met them face to face and at first refused to give an inch, but the team finally slowed down in its defense and before the final whistle came creaking through the chilling air to announce the end of the game, Peoria High had rolled up 20 points, while we had cornered but 6! Thus, with six victories and two defeats ended the most successful football season Manual had ever enjoyed. Summary.

After a triumphant year in football, we found ourselves 'looking forward to the basketball season. V The material was more than promising. ln addition to this, we had with us Charles G, Mason, our veteran coach and miracle man -this nom de plume he rightly deserves. This is Mason's eighth year as coach at Manual and every season, regardless of the material on hand, he has always turned out a team of which every true son of Manual is justly proud. Some years the prospects and chances seem better than others, never- theless, we have always had the pleasure of seeing another new banner or shield placed above the assembly entrance, this year it is a shield. When the initial call was sounded this year, we found there were with us three regulars from last year's bunchg these three were Captain W'ilke, Werner, and O'Dell. There were also two ex-service men, Wilson and Stringham. The others were Barr, Van Norman, Hoffman, Hiltbold, and Metzel. After three weeks of hard work and snappy drills, the team, composed of O'Dell, Wilke, Werner, Hiltbold, Wilson, Barr, Hoffman, Van Norman, and Stringham boarded the Burlington and went to Canton to see what that city held in store for them. Of course Canton had a good team but it should never have walked on us to the tune of 22 to 15 as it did! But we did not mind this defeat so much 5-we all have a good many friends in Canton and the Canton fellows did surely show us a good time. MJ Y ' W .. ,, ?+,,L rf. ft ask is 5XNx'i- t 'Q X T1-IE MANUAL, 1920 NMA., s . at.. '-. s, N X fAV,ff The next Friday we made eyes at the Champaign lads in their own gym, . .ut we brought home the long end of the score which stood 24-15. The same week we let Galesburg beat us, 13 to 9, in the Peoria High gym. Some game! On January 16 we met our old friends, P. H. S. for the first time and were nosed out, 16 to 15. VVe played true to form, loaflng around the first half and then spurting the second period only to find out that Peoria High had got there first! In this fray Haussler shoved the pill through the hoop four times for his team, while Buck scored eight points for the Orange and Black. The Bloomington lads came over to avenge themselves for their bad luck on Wilder Held, but the lads went back smiling from the other sides of their faces because we tied the can on them by a 27 to 12 score. Once again, McGriail, the carrot-topped tosser, honored us with his presence, but this time in different clothes. The following day we showed Spalding the dust because we were going great guns since our defeat from Peoria High. But Canton put a kink in us again the next Friday by a 22 to 12 game! Once again we took to the road and after forty minutes of pure unadulterated fun, Pekin found herself trailing us in a 64 to 4 game. Bloodhound's little sleight of hand performance in a restaurant in Pekin furnished us all the peanuts and candy for the trip home. QHonestly, this wasn't half as bad as it soundslj Streator dropped in on us for a little call and went home with the small end of a 44 to 23 game! Say boy, didn't they have some bunch of rooters! CAsk O'Dell.D Once more Peoria High opened up the old wound by giving us a hard luck battle at Bradley gym. We don't remember much about it except that we only scored eleven points, while they piled up 21. Then Streator made good her boasts when she defeated us in a 28-24 score. Mason added another minimum requirement after that game, and that was that every aspirant to fame on the basketball floor must be a good swimmer. It hap- pened that every man on the squad was that night or we would have had a somewhat sadder story! Further particulars may be obtained by consulting Mason. Once more Hiltbold displayed to us that he possessed the eating powers of an anaconda! When the train came pufhng into Streator the following morning he was still in the restaurant. The little defeat we received at Streator must have had far reaching effects! Evidently. But before we disclose to you the facts concerning the tournament, let us pause long enough to consider who represented us in the tourney. The vanguard of our little clan was composed of O'Dell, Werner, Van Norman, VVilson and Hiltbold, while bringing up the rear we had Barr, Hoffman, Sutter, L. Brown and Blotner. Of course we had to usher in the opener and we certainly did. The game opened up at 8 A. M., Friday morning, and despite the early hour there was a good sized crowd there. Everybody rated Averyville as a worthy foe, but after the Hrst few minutes we put the skids under themg the final count was 29 to ll. The same night we trimmed Minonk, 23 to 14, and the following afternoon we duplicated Cask Mr. Hillingj, by hanging Hiltbold, Werner, and Wilson on Wallace of VVashburn. lt sure was some battle, but Buck slipped it over in the last two minutes by a pretty shot from the side. A violin must be in tune before it can play. Get in tune! A M i s THE MANUAL, 1920 , w i fi? ':13'ffma ' V -f'f M '..'- - .4V...,A. . But you haven't heard anything yet. Last of all came Peoria High, full of steam, making for Champaign, with a long string of victories trailing her. But Coach Mason sure did throw sand into Peoria High's supposedly well oiled machine! The trouble commenced with the opening gun and of all the riots ever staged, this will always remain the only one. Words fail to do this combat justice. Van Norman always came to the rescue with a long shot when needed, while Fat and Bloodhound held the Peerless Haus- sler to one measly basket, and Buck certainly did knock oil' Peoria's tail feathers by ac- cepting iive chances out of a possible six via the free throw route. On the eighteenth of March we lost the opening game to Canton at the State tournament. That night Canton celebrated OD in the hotel with a blowout for us because we let them hand it to us by one point. Anyway we will never regret our trip to Champaign and our stay at the Beta house. I know Hiltbold never will. The team picture was taken April 28, and Hiltbold was elected to lead the team of 1921, and we certainly wish him luck.

The season started on April 22, when Coach Mason held his first practice at the Starr St. diamond. In looking over the squad, he found he had four letter men, in- cluding Wilke, Van Norman, Sutter, and Wilson. Besides these men there were Bender, a slab artist: Haeffner, a catcher, DeCremer, a Hy chaserg and Canterbury, also a gardener. In the opening game, Coach Mason's clan defeated East Peoria by a score of 34 to 0. lt was a good practice game, only the team failed to enjoy it very much because of the impending darkness, which threatened to call a halt before the seve'1 innings closed. THE MANUAL, 1920 .LA . . ,., . ,l lii The Hrst fracas with Peoria High proved to be a highly exciting battle. In the beginning, Manual ran up a lead of 4 to l, but the plucky Peoria High team came to the fore and tied the score in the ninth. In the thirteenth inning it put over another tally and won the melee. Manual's next loss was to Spalding, by a 4 to 3 clout. Sutter pitched in hard luck all season. In the first game with P. H. S. he caused twenty men to whiff, while Zinser only fanned nine. The second fray with Peoria High was lost l0 to 8 in a loose game at Bradley. Tyler blew up in the seventh inning only to be relieved by Zinser who pitched good ball for the remainder of the game.

Once again Manual finds herself on the last page of a most successful year in track. Among those who commenced work on the track at Proctor this year none were more faithful than Harold Metzel, or HParadise. From start to finish Metzel has come across with the goods and consequently was chosen captain of next year's track team. From last year's team there were still Metzel, ex-captain Hoffman, Saurs, Captain Yuhasz, Crosswell, and Brown. Hoffman was the man who kept Manual near the top all season. The first of the season he worked hard in the dashes and high jump, but during the meet he was not satisfied with two firsts and three seconds, but also walked away with the two twenty and four-forty-yard dashes. This year Hoffman will receive his third letter for his work on the track. In the Greater Peoria, Hoffman and Saurs divided up the first and second in the 220 and 440-yard dashes. Hoffman drew more blood in this battle than in any other contest, having three firsts, three seconds, and one third. If you cannot be first, make the one ahead of you break the record. n z Nw..

Hoffman now holds the two twenty record in Peoria, while Yuhasz has the shot and discus records tacked on his name. 1 Yuhasz and Whithelcl are two men whom the Orange and Black will miss next year when the nrst call is issued. Saurs has still another year in which to chisel his name in the hall of fame at Manual. Crosswell worked hard and spent many long nights after school circling the Proctor track. There are two very promising men on the way, Rauch and Schraub. Rauch, with a little coaching will cop the 440 next year. Sehraub will also make the bluff lads step lively, Two dual meets were won, one wlth Bradley by a seore of 57 to 37, and one with East Peoria. The Greater Peoria was lost to Peoria High by seven points, 51-44. Letters were awarded to the five following men: Metzel, Yuhasz, Brown, Hoffman, und Saurs. Numerals were awarded Rauch, Crosswell, and Sehraub. ORANGE AND BLACK LETTER MEN. 1919-1920. Football Basketball Baseball Track Goldberger 'Wilson Haclfner L. Brown L.

Another year has rolled past, and before many weeks another class will leave the sheltering walls of Manual, and go forth into the world. This class, as all others have been, will be grateful for the great connecting link between Manual and her old graduates, the Alumni Association. This year has been one of great importance to the Alumni of Manual. More activity in the Alumni ranks, has been evident this year than any other year of its existence. And there is more to come. On the evening of June 24, 1920 the annual Alumni Banquet will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, on North jefferson St. This banquet will be the biggest and best in the history of the or- ganization, and it behooves every member of the alumni to be present to renew old friendships and to greet the incoming class into the association. The officers who have made this year the best yet are Jos. H. Wileyf, Presidentg Genevieve Fahey, Vice-Presidentg Irene Cody, Secretaryg Bert Haungs, Treasurer. MANUAL COMMERCIAL CLUB. It can be truthfully said that this year the Manual Commercial Club has witnessed a year of immeasurable success. The club has been put on an efiicient business basis in every way. Its member- ship has been doubled, and the meetings are looked forward to as even- ings of real enjoyment and instruction. The club is regarded by business men as one of the livest, up-to-- date, progressive young men's clubs in the state. From towns in every state in the union come inquiries as to our system of Com- mercial Club membership and as to our purposes, and our accom- plishments. And all these inquiries pay tribute to Manual, and to the founders of this club, which is really a post-graduate school in Manual pep, honor, standards, and work for Manual men. Much credit for this phenomenal year is due to the following oiiicers: Willard Coxon, Presidentg john Moser, Vice-Presidentg jake Harris, Treasurerg Russel Wehner, Secretary. INGLATERRA DANCE. On Monday evening, June 24, the Manual Commercial Club and Alumni Association joined hands in their annual spring dance at the Inglaterra. The ball room beautiful echoed with the strains of the orchestra, while three hundreds grads and students of dear M THE MANUAL, l920 ,ses is is W its ,j., . . -4 -fe-'eff-'wg old Manual chatted and danced. The terpsichorean artists ceased their swaying motions at a late hour and wended their way home with favorable comment. The proceeds of the dance will go to help defray the expense of the Alumni banquet and to swell the exchequern of the Manual Com- mercial Club, HOOP-LA MINSTRELS. In the latter part of September, Peoria will be treated to the biggest and best thing ever undertaken by a high school organization. The combined forces of the Commercial Club and Alumni Association will stage the celebrated Hoop-La Minstrels at the Majestic Theatre. Talent for the show will be picked from the two organizations. This is absolutely the greatest undertaking recorded in the annals of time, and is bound to be a great success in the hands of its capable managers. Watch the newspapers for more about the Hoop-La Minstrelsf' JOE WENT AND DONE IT. Excitement prevailed, incredulity reigned, and the babel of rumor rose to its heights, because joe had fallen. Yes, 'tis so. Joseph H. Wiley has succumbed to the wiles of mere woman. Little joe, the MANUAL reporter in the by gone days of '15-Little joe grown now to Capsilliation Cap in '17-Joe, the pride and president of our Alumni Association in the two, nay three years past, has fallen. Joseph H., now a man in mind and stature, now renowned in Advertising fields, has fallen. Without warning, joseph H. Wiley, President of the Alumni Association, and Miss Jim Farrel, slipped quietly off and were married, thus culminating a romance begun when both attended Manual. The congratulations of every member of the Alumni Association follow them to their new home on jefferson Street. The man who makes mistakes wears out the eraser before the pencil.

CWith apologies to Uncle josh Weatherbyj. Hee ya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Wahl, now you ought a been out to the beeg doings Podunk Holler the other day. We sure did have some celebration. My wife, Samanthy, she come a runnin' out to where I wuz plowing and says, says she, Si, don't you reckon you better ungear them horses and take me in to see the races this afternoon? Wahl, I jist thought them thar celebrations only come onced a year so maybe I had, calculatin' as how I had to make some repairs on our auto- mobeel anyhow. I says to Samanthy, says I, You git ready while I fix them thar brakes and pump up the hind tire. Wahl, now I'rn purty good at makin' brakes but they wuz the contrariest critters you ever seen. We finally got started. and we sure did step on her. Samanthy, she kept a yellin', Si, be ceerfull how you handle that thar wheel. The little clock what's in front wyz registerin' eight miles an' I did slow down a bit to please Samanthy. We got out to the fair grounds at Podunk Holler all right and I reckon we wuz purty early, seein as how nobudy was showin' up much. I took a big chaw o' tobaccer an' brushed the dust off my shoes while Samanthy, she got out her knittin'. Pretty soon Sarnanthy says, Si, what's that a commin' down the road? All I could make out wuz a cloud o' dust but purty soon automobeels wuz showin' up thicker'n hair on a dog's back. Wahl, I jest thought it wuz 'bout time somebody was a showin' up if we wuz to see any racin'. - Samanthy says, Si, come here, and when I got close enough, she says, says she, Si, jest look, ain't them the school marms and perfessers from that school what they call Manual? And by kelter she wuz right. It didn't take very long fer things to git movin' with them folks 'round. Wahl, Samanthy and me, we follered the crowd and I heard somebudy say something 'bout joe Gilbert's Track Meet. Samanthy, she wanted ter know what kind o' meat that wuz, 'lowin' she had never cooked any of that kind before. Hee ya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Wahl, we found out that Joe Gilbert was a gal and that she had charge o' some of the beeg doins'. They begun talkin' 'bout putting the shot , wahl now all the shot puttin' I know'd anything 'bout wuz putting shot down my ole muzzle loader and I says to Samanthy, says I I kin do that 'bout as well as the next feller, I calculate. They all begun scramblin fer a big ball what I calculated wuz purty heavy from the way some o' them women folks tossed it about. They all took their turn to see how fer they could toss it and the little fat feller what done the measurin' would call out, Thirteen foot six inches, fifteen foot, and one great large woman tossed it out seventeen foot-six inches. Hee ya! Hal Ha! Hal jest about that time a big fat feller come a runnin' up from somewhere in his shirt sleeves all out o' breath an' yelled out, Everybody fur the eats back o' the pervillion. Wahl, I calculated if he wuz advertizin' the eats they must be purty good so me and Samanthy follered the crowd what wuz scramblin' fer the pervillion. By the time we got there the rest wuz all sotten 'round the big long table and I heard somebudy say, Hurry up, Moon, with that coffee. Wahl, I never did see the moon shine in the day time before but as I calculate this fat fel.er sure did shine at his job, cuttin' ham an' pourin' coffee. Hee ya! Ha!

Wahl after the table wuz all cleared off this fat feller jumped up on another table close by an' begun shoutin' somethin' or other what reminded Samanthy of a sermon she heard oncet 'bout gatherin' up fourteen fishes and seven loaves of bread from the scraps what wuz left. Hee ya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Pie, mustard, meat and cheese wuz sold to the highest bidder. Somethin' wuz goin' on all the time, yes siree, hy kelter. I never did laugh so much in all my life a watchin' them thar school marms and perfessers. There wuz two young fellers as I calculated wuzn't married and one o them in particular, who to my estimation, got purty giddy around one o' the school marms. He took after her oncet an' down she went. I thought Samanthy wuz hurt as bad as the school marm but when she come to she says, says she, Law me sakes alive, Si, times have changed since I wuz young. I thought so to. Hee ya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Samanthy an' me wandered over to see the Feegee Islanders, owned by Miss Flory Ebaugh, somebody said. Wahl, says I to Samanthy, You stay here while I go an' see how my automobeel is standin', an' when I got back they wuz all playing bas- ball. Wahl, now I knew that that game would be a purty good one 'cause that team from Pumpkin Center was a purty good match fer Podunk Holler. I calculated our team would win an' sure 'nough the final tally wuz 5 against 4. Oncet Samanthy jest 'bout went into histerics when the bases all got full. She says, she says, Now, Si, whar will the other players run to. Hee ya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Wahl, that wuz the best game I had seed fer a coon's age. Then Samanthy says to me, Si, don't you reckon we better be pullin' fer home, seeins' how some o' the city folks are lcavin'?

FROM ONE WE ALL ADMIRE My dear Friends:- I wish to thank you for the copies of The MANUAL, which have been so generously sent to me. As I sit, looking them over and read- ing the familiar names, there comes before me a picture of the halls of Manual High through which the pupils are passing back and forth. Good fellowship was always the key-note of its daily routine of work and pleasure. The year is drawing to a close and we are preparing for graduation. Our schools close on June the fourth. I keep wondering what the Seniors are going to sing in Peoria and I imagine I hear them digging away with all their might. Of course it will be beautiful and I know just how lovely they will all look in their graduation finery. Our old standby, the Illinois Loyalty Song, is making a wonderful hit here. The Hrst time we tried it the students certainly did sit up and take notice and now it is swinging along Very well. To-night we stopped long enough from our duties to go to Sandy Point for a beach party. We had a fine supper, which was followed by a dance in the pavilion to the tunes of an accordean, commonly called push and pull music. This was quite different from the big dances here in town at the Auditorium. Last Friday night we had a ninety dollar orchestra. But when our beach party was over and we started on our homeward ride we all agreed that it was an everning well spent. And now I send greetings and best wishes to the teachers and pupils of Manual High, to Mr. Brown, who is a true friend of every student there, and especially to the Class of 1920. Yours sincerely, CHARLOTTE SCOONES. THE MANUAL, 1920 . N X' ix. . wi ...,.., Q. Q .

But, do you realize that they only occupy the proverb- ial niche in the hall of fame? Here is some young ambitious Senior's opportunity to occupy the throne in the hall of fame. How? just possess some traits of each of the aforementioned professions. Here are the directions. To be a great scientist follow Darwin's policy. Tell the world that man is descended from the ape and then prove it-it will not be dilicult. Then you must possess some traits of an inventor, for instance those of Edison. You must start by selling newspapers on a train, and make electricity your servant. Next be a great president: Washington, Lincoln, or Wilson will do. If you choose to be a Washington, first, have a birthday: then get a hatchet from your father: then find a nice cherry tree--be sure the cherry tree belongs to your father, also be sure that your father thinks more of the truth than he does of the cherry tree. To complete the episode go out in the orchard with said hatchet, chop down said cherry tree, and tell your father you did it with your little hatchet. ' If you would be Lincoln, just go out and split rails. If no one should want the split rails, sell them to the Peoria Railway Companygthe breweries cannot use them any more. If you prefer being a Wilson, the only qualifications you will need are ability to write notes to the President of Mexico, whoever he is or wherever he be, and health, so that you will be able to cross the ocean without getting seasick. Benjamin Franklin is a good example of a philosopher. To be a Ben Franklin you should walk the streets of Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under each arm. You could not do this in these times, the loaves of bread are made to fit your vest pocket. A vest pocket loaf of bread is very unlike a vest pocket camera. The bread will get lost in your vest pocket, but you can't lose the camera in your grandfather's overcoat. To be a great general is very simple and easy. just say something original like war is hell. ' Of course you don't have to be so explanatory if 'you don't wish to. Now to combine all of these. Sell newspapers on a traing say, I did it with my little hatchetug split rails, cross the ocean, carry two loaves of bread in your vest pocket: say, war is hell g and we guarantee that you will occupy the throne of Chief Nut of the Squirrel Granary! Seniors, get busy! .DNP AIC- sn f xl ll lug?

This will be my last appearance this year, she said. Mother Manual and Father Brown looked at her with pride, and then remarked with amazement that it was astonishing how fast the year had gone. The evening arrived and Miss Manual, looking her very best, tripped down to greet her guests. The Lake Breeze was the first to arrive, accompanied by the Barb. 'tWe congratulate you on your football season, said the Barb. HI, too, think you are f1ne,', greeted the Lake Breeze. 'Alf only you would illustrate more, I'm sure you would improve. t'Thank you, replied Miss Manual. I certainly appreciate your remarks. How do you do, Mr. Pen Charter, Ah! Miss Tiger too. Welcomcll' O Miss Manual, began Penn Charter, the subject at hand isfn Now, Mr. Charter, interrupted Miss Manual, you do lack humor, so we'll return to that subject laterf' just then Mr. Science-Craft came up escorting Miss X-Ray on his arm. VVhy, Manual, you are fine, said X-Rayg I like your literary work very much. 'Tm glad you dof' returned Miss Manual. How do you do, Opinion? Are you still missing our issues? Here, bMr. Dreadnaught, you can teach us a lesson. How do-you keep so prompt? 'tThat's the least of my troublesf, he replied cheerfully. My trouble is with my literary materialf, How do you do, Mr. Shurzone? I did not make your acquaintance till quite recently, but better late than never and we surely liked your semi-annual. I'm glad you did and I thought your Manualettes were inter- esting. Miss Cliveden is of the same opinion, I am sure. Indeed yes. I think you have a peach of a magazine, peppy all through. Thank you, blushed Miss Manual. ' I do like the comments at the bottom of your pages, said the Orange and Purple stepping up. I think it a good idea.

Thank you, repeated Miss Manual and the Orange and Purple passed on, followed by the Gleam and the Student Crier with the Lion and the Wah Hoo in quick succession. The rest of the guests exchang- ed greetings and passed on and Manual was left free for a moment to rest. May I have the first dance? asked a voice. 4'Why certainly, Tech, said Miss Manual. I always admired you so much, she added as they swung away. You always look so well. They had been dancing but a short time when the Pennant and the Molecule came hurrying up with the news that Miss Orgus had fainted. She had been quite overworked this year, they said. Miss Manual went quickly to her side and found that Mr. Optic and Miss Eastern were with her. In spite of her attempts to remain, they insisted that she go back to her guests as refreshments were being served. Will you accept my arm? asked the Northern Illinois. Certainly, answered Miss Manual, I was wishing that I might see you to tell you how I appreciated your jokes, they certainly are splendid. As she sat waiting for him, the Tatler stopped in front of her. Are you being served? he asked. The Northern Illinois is attending to me, but will you tell me what has become of you of late? I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Observer and I have been in the South searching for new material, answered The Tatler. Here comes the Pageant. I won- der what he Wants. 'fOh, here you are, said the Pageant. The Northern Illinois has been called home. Sudden illness, I suppose, and he asked me to serve you. Will you have lobster? If you please, Mr. Provi-I mean Pageant. I simply can't get your name straight! I have called you Provi for months without even noticing the mistake.

Bring your things over here, she added after introducing Mr, Pageant to the newcomers. I will, said the Railsplitter, starting off. The time passed so quickly that Miss Manual was very much surprised when Mr. Bison and Miss Trumpeter came to bid her good- night. HI want you to understand how I appreciate your news, she told them. Youlrc quiet, but you do give pleasure. In couples and in crowds the guests departed to their various homes, leaving their hostess to dream over her thoughts. But I do wish such good times didn't end so quickly, she told Father Brown and Mother Manual when she returned home. slh 4 Niflsfr' s , fi Q59 :Begin V2 fl gf N hid! twist assi?

St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, Bryan drove them out of America, and ever since July Thirst, nineteen hundred and nineteen, America has been a sober country. We have bone dry prohibition, except for about nine million illicit stills, amateur brewers, and twenty bootleggers to every still. In fact the bootleggers are so thick that they all wear an oilicial Union Bootlegger's badge to keep from selling their wares to one another. But Father Time swings a wicked scythe and slices off a pair of centuries of the earth's time. Whiskey, pink elephants, and drunkards are now characters in classical myths, and are read in high schools and colleges. july Thirst is now a world-wide holiday, even in Cuba. There are two organizations, the Heavenly Order of Teetotal- ers, and the Fraternal Order of Teatipplers. Starting in 1955 with small memberships, these organizations have now grown to be organizations of the world. Yes! The world has progressed. Wars are forgotten, mother-in-laws are now included as ones of the family, cats and dogs go walking arm in arm, and snakes are raised as domestic animals. The hoop snake and rattler are raised as toys for children, while the adder is used in the accounting departments of big stores. Even the lowly garter snake serves its purpose on the bathing beach. Everything and everyone is happy and peaceful-halos go begging for wearers. Out of all this blissfulness a loud rumbling is heard in the bowels of the earth, and the ground quivers with its vibrations. It shakes the entire globe! Everyone says that it is an earthquake, but in reality it is john Barleycorn turning in his grave. Some- where out of the east comes the news that the last quart of ancient whiskey in the universe is owned by an old beggar in Egypt. A few days later the beggar confessed on his death bed that within the tomb of Pharaoh he had buried the last quart eighty years ago. The last quart at last, the moral uplifters cried, and they celebrated with cocktails of milk and a dehydrated prune in each glass. Soon the question arose as to who should have the honor of getting the last quart. Should the last quart be kept as a relic or should it be destroyed. The H. O. T. said that it should be destroyed, and the F. O. T. said that it should be kept as a remembrance of their life-long work. John Barley- corn chuckled in his coFHn. 1 The H. O. T. sent a representative group to Egypt to destroy the last quart, but when they arrived they found a like group of the F. O. T. entering the tomb of Pharaoh. They stared at one another until their peaceful countenances changed, and their wild war-loving blood inherited from their fighting ancestors of the twentieth century surged and boiled within them. There was a lull before the storm. Then a member of the H. O. T. called the F. O. T. a bunch of soaks. It was the most insulting name that a person could be called at that time. Immediately missiles of all kinds flew from both sides. John Barleycorn laughed. The news spread like wildfire. War! War! War! After one hundred and Hfty years of peace a war had started. The whole world became involved. Each person was loyal to his organization. The master minds of the age put their brains to work, and soon the most deadly war machines the world had ever known were being used. Whole countries were wiped out in a day's fighting. The victorious organization fought against its fellow members, and within ' A ,wif-xxggww A ' SS---Txxbxx THE MANUAL, l920 gg ,. me X -as ,N . Nw 5.Ei+sx1sma:s: Q.

Before the last dying embers grew cold, there was a mighty rumbling and John Bztrleyeorn sprang up from the earth laughing uproariously in fiendish glee. Shaking the dust from his long inactive carcass he strode to Egypt and straightway entered the tomb of Pharaoh. Removing three huge stones he pieked up at bottle with a mouldy label on it. lle peered into it with his evil eyes and saw a piece of paper. On it was inscribed: This bottle held the last quart nf Kentucky Bourbon. lt was emptied by three ruined brewers on their way to the Holy Land on July first, nineteen ninety. The Wicked smile vanished from his face. Ile crushed the bottle in his snaky teeth, and fell deiul. He was dead for good, hut his Work was done-the end of the world had emne. THANKS OLE TOP.
