It was manned by eight instructors, with Mr. Thompson as Captain. Each passenger had as his passport, a grade school diploma. There were several interesting occurrences during this year, among which was a party at the gym and a weiner roast. Our crew started gallantly out on the sea of learning and though we got into difficult straits we arrived at the port of the Sophomore, in nineteen twentyfseven, with a loss of but few passengers. The voyagers were divided into two literary groups, the Orion and the Philadel- phian. The rival factions contested to ascertain which could give the better program. The ship here took on several new classmen and each soon became one of us. As customary we chose one of the personnel to guide us through the year. This sec' ond lap of the voyage took us over a rougher sea, but we kept heart and sailed on, though the effort was great. As a recreation, class day was held. This was during the last week of school, and the Marissa Country Club was the place selected for enjoying the day. We had now finished onefhalf of the ocean trip and hoped that the last part would be as successful as the first. Arriving at the Junior port in nineteen twentyfeight, as upper classmen, we were privileged to select two advisors. To begin the social activities we gave a fare' well party to a member of the class, who was leaving us. During this portion of the voyage we gave two plays, which provided sufficient funds to assure a banquet for the Senior Class. At this banquet we enjoyed a pleasant journey in airplanes. Steeleville was chosen this year as the place to spend class day. After this, we dropped anchor at Seniordom. The passengers who are now Seniors found quite an added responsibility, along with their usual coursehthe publishing of the Papyrus, their Log book. The money required to finance this proposition was acquired by class dues, candy sales, plays, etc. We are now nearing our home port and though we cannot give a complete summary of the Senior year, we feel that our four year voyage has prepared us for the future. We obtained rings and pictures as reminders of our school days, and these we hope to keep always. P-THE EDITORS. f 19 l W M phpynus E203 AUTUMN Rims and Achievements We, the Class of 1930, arriving at this point in quest of higher education, feel that we have lived up to our motto: Life is what we make it , and besides that we feel that the past four years have, in part, prepared us to live up to that standard in the future. We know it to be a fact that to be considered educated one must have not only class work, but various side activities. The members of our class have taken part in the various intellectual and athletic contests, and have helped to keep our school in its present standing among Illinois High Schools, in addition to keeping their regular school work above the average. For example our debate team was very sucf cessful, considering the fact that it was our first year, none of the debaters having had any previous training along that line. Our class has established a very good rep' utation for presenting plays, and the town and community have responded prompt' ly to any entertainment offered by the Class of '3O. In addition to our aims and achievements in this school, a great number are planning to attend some college in the near future, and we not only expect but we are confident that we can master the work put before us in any institution and by doing so place higher the reputation of the Marissa Township High School. However, we do not intend to live on our reputation. With each member realiz' ing that Life is what we make it , we shall begin each day and each task with new zeal and be satisfied with nothing except forward motion. Although other classes shall take our place, the days when the flag of Blue and White reigned supreme shall not be forgotten. -VERNON ANDERSON. I 21 1 Leiter From State H. S. Supervisor FRANCIS G. BLAIR, Superintendent STATE OF ILLINOIS Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction SPRINGFIELD DECEMBER 11th. 1929. Principal George H. Thompson. Township High School, Marissa, Illinois. Dear Mr. Thompson: This is a report on my inspection of the Marissa Township High School December 6, 1929. Presented below you will find the various items under consideration at the time of my visit. Detailed information regarding these matters is to be found in our bulletin on Standards for Recognized High Schools in Illinois. School Plant-Enlarged and improved in recent years. At present the building takes care of your school needs in a satisfactory way. Instructional Equipment-wUp to standard in every particular. I was very well pleased with the orderly arrangement in your laboratory, business quarters, and manual training shop. Library-Excellent and well kept. Your high school has one of the best libraries I have ever seen in a school of this size. Its growth should continue, however, and I suggest that you keep up the regular annual appropriation of 5270. School Records-Satisfactory. I understand you are keeping the records in a fire proof filing case or safe. School Citizenship-Good. Your pupils were respectful and seemingly interested in high standards of scholarship and conduct. Preparation of Teachers-Meets all requirements. All of your teachers hold college de' grees and have been well placed in the particular field or Helds in which they have had special training. Instruction4A high grade in every particular. I am very pleased to advise you that we are renewing the recognition of the Marissa. Town' ship High School for a period of three years, closing june 30th, 1933. This is the highest rating given to any public high school by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It has been given because of the fact that your people have not been satisfied with just average conditions but are striving toward superior conditions. In nearly every particular you have gone beyond minimum requirements and I trust you will maintain the same high standard in the future. Thanking you for a pleasant visit and with best wishes for a happy holiday season, I am Sincerely yours, HARRY M. THRASHER, State High School Supervisor. 1221 Wlno's Who Of our High School we're very proud, .Our colors always flying highs The Orange and Black of M. H. S. Stream out in pennants toward the sky. The faculty has had in hand The shaping of our lives, you knowg Has taught us in the ways of life 0'er which we soon shall go. Mr. Thompson, our principal, Has been here through our high school years of four, And for the sake of those who follow us We hope he'll be here many, many more. In science Mr. Runkwitz shines, He knows science from A to Z. His subjects, Chemistry and Physics, Zoology and Botany. The fine way Miss Pergande teaches Must not be forgotten By her pupils, nor her subject, Which is nothing less than Latin. Miss Stockton teaches English And in this she does excel, She can quote from Shakespeare, Keats and Burns And Tennyson quite as well. Mathematics? Go to Mr. Speer, On your questions he'll throw light, And with Algebra and Geometry Helll try to set you right. Miss Mueller's line? Commercial work! Bookkeeping, Typing, Shorthand. She can keep books like an expert And type to beat the band . Miss Linkenhelt can sing quite well, And ranging up and down the scale, Her music makes you feel as though You are listening to a nightingale. Our athletic Coach is Mr. Floyd. He keeps the boys in trim, So that when they face the enemy They can do naught but win. And now that the faculty Has been defined as worthy, We will introduce the members Of the Class of nineteenfthirty. E233 Who's Who fCont'dj Nearly every morn at seven, Or perhaps a little more, On the steps sits Luther, waiting For the janitor to open the door. Strong men in science Are Edward and Brown. Their discoveries some day May bring them renown. Edith and Wiiiifred Are sisters twog What one won't attempt The other will do. And now two Vernons, Anderson and Dickey In the football line They are both quite tricky. Arah, Vivian and Inez, Latin students brightq They're always wide awake in class, And ready to recite. Two football meng Both Kenneth and Hoot Are backield men Of great repute. When on the ivories They harmoniously pound, Jean and Luella Are fine pianists, 'tis found. Erwin with his cornet And Iviilton with his Sax - Show the world of music Exactly what it lacks. s In Chemistry class Marie and Frances Start as many tires As they have chances. Lewis and Paul In athletics excel They play football quite aptly, And basketball as well. Two leaders in class activities: Virginia and Pauline Keep the members of the class Stepping lively, so it seems. l24l Wl1o's Who fConl'dj Myron and Wilford Are basketball stars, And have often helped Run up high scores. When it comes to singing, Ruth and Arabella Sing fine soprano And alto as well. For Marion McGill As a singer we can vouch, As a basketball player Marion Weshinskey's no slcuch. Dorothea and Doris Have intellects quite rare. When it's time to recite They are always right there. Gordon and William From Tilden each morn Must wend their Way To listen and larn . And now in conclusion Excuse the poor sap Who wrote this poem, Or tried to, mayhap. -HAROLD WOLF. THE CORRIDOR I 25 3 fp pynus SUN AND SHADE Senior Class Prophecy This is an age ot' great achievements, so for the class of nineteenfthirty, we prophecy great things due credit is given our ahle instructors and our school taeilif ties of the past tour years, for the unusual attainments ot this class. As l was sitting in my otliice in the Bell Telephone Building of New York City the postfman, Mr. Harold Wmilti, hrought me a letter dated january 40, 1940. M1's. Ruth Glenn, formerly Ruth Halemeyer wished me to visit her in Miami, Florida, and attend the Golf Tournament in which many of our classmates of nineteen thirty were to take part. Her hushand, Mike, was a famous golf champion and also a solo' ist this favorite song, 'iAfter the Balluj. I was delighted to accept the invitation and left hy airplane the next day. Paul Heil was the pilot, Willixiiii Watshiier the mechanic, while Luther Reichert was the chef in the dining section. Un my way I telephoned to Marie Houghland, formerly Mzirie Vxfehster, of Honolulu to meet me in lvliami. The Dodge Brothers and Houghland Auto Companies had consolidated, and Mzlrie was driving for them in an endurance contest. At several stations passengers changed planes for other parts of the country. This was done with very little loss of time and without landf ing. Un one of the stops, to my surprise in came Arahella Triefenhach, Wiiiifred f2Gfj u Baker and Pauline Krizo of Hollywood. Pauline was now a noted movie star and playing with the Famous Dickey Film Corporation, Arabella was her manager and Winifred her personal maid. Pauline told me she had been home last summer and that Marissa had grown to be one of the leading cities of Southern Illinois, Sparta now being a suburb of Marissa. Our home town boom was brought about by the wealth obtained from oil and gas wells. Lewis Lee, so she informed me, was editor of the Marissa High Lights , and a confirmed bachelor still wearing a black derby. Gordon Raney was running a chain store for the White and Albers Company. Doris Crisler was teaching ia the public school. The County Seat had been moved to Marissa and Milton Hill was County Attorney and Vernon Anderson mayor of the city. Luella Browning was campaign manager for Edith Baker, who was running for Governor of Illinois in the fall elec- tion. After lunch we touched a button on the wall which turned on a television prof gram which was very good. We recognized one of the chorus girls as Vivian Anglin and Erwin Stahlman as orchestra leader. We arrived in Miami about dusk, Mrs. Glenn, Virginia Patton, and Dorthea Kunze met us. We hopped into their aero-shoots and were soon at the Hotel Vollert. On our way we passed the airfcop Marion McGill. We spent a week in Miami en' joying the sports of the season and many were the interesting things which we saw. Cn Sunday I attended the First U. P. Church and found Jean Walker Super- intendent of the Primary Department, which I visited. She had a large enrollment and seemed to be doing a very great work. From Jean I learned that Gilbert McKinley who lived in Shreveport, Louisiana, had bought out Henderson of Radio fame and owner of a large pecan orchard. The nuts were as large as apples and picked by electricity. I decided I would visit him on my way home to New York. I left Miaini in the next few days after having had a lovely time there with old friends. Upon arriving at Gilbert's estate I found Kenneth Scott living with him as his business managerg Arah Bush was Kenneth's private secretary. An orange grove was near there owned by Mr. Smith husband of the former Inez Forsythe. A bayou ran through the grove and when the water was high and the trees loaded with oranges, the limbs drooped into the water and oysters clung to them. Marion Weshinskey was there, among the many workers, loading them into boats to be shipped to New Orleans. After a pleasant two days' visit at Gilbert's estate, I returned in my airplane to New York where I resumed my former duties, having had a wonderful and profitable trip.

They were only organized in january, but in the short time that they have been in existence, they have become very popular both in school and in the community. The subject for discussion, Resolved: That the Chain Store System is a Menace to American Business , which is of nationfwide interest, was well presented by the debaters, under the able direction of Mr. Thompson. In the first debate, which was with Dupo, the Affirmative Team won at home by a Zfl decision, while the Negatives lost at Dupo by a 3fO decision. The next de' bate on schedule was with New Athens, and this time the defeats and victories were reversed. The Negatives won at home by all three votes of the judges and the Aff firmatives were defeated at New Athens by a Zfl vote. The third debate was to be with Macoutah, but because that school declined to debate, the date was removed from the schedule. Marissa won third place in the County Meet which was held at Lebanon on April 18, 1930. We hope that debating will become firmly established in High School, and hope that the future teams will do as well as those of this year. 415 'T bf ,Q , an l!

Small but mighty can well be applied to them, for they have made quite a name for them' selves in athletic and intellectual contests. Some of our best basketball and football players are from this class and the Girls' Athletic Association is well represented by various Sophomore girls. This little band has well proved that they can and will help keep the pennant of Orange and Black floating high. Soon, being Jolly Juniors, and later grand old Seniors they will have an opportunity to distinguish themselves in the class plays. Besides having the cares of their predecessors, may they have their pleasures, too.

This group is composed of members from a large area. The surrounding towns have contributed more members this year than ever before. The class assembles in the study hall in the mornings because it is the only room that has a seating capacity large enough to accommodate them. The girls of this class have distinguished themselves in that they hold the school championship in Girls' Basketball. The school orchestra is well represented by the Freshman boys. There are a few leaving us from this class, but the greater portion will go into the Sophomore class. The upperclassmen, hope that they continue with their large number and establish for themselves a reputation that will be hard to surpass. STUDY HALL AND LIBRARY I 39 I p pynus GIRLS' QUARTET The Girls' Quartet is made up ot' the following: Nlarie Wehsteii, '30, First So' pranog jane Mcffreight, '33, Second Sopranog Helen E.

They performed several times in Assemhly, and they repref sented the school at the Annual County Meet and also in the MCKCI1d1'CC Inter- scholastic Meet. They represented Marissa Township High School at the Teachers' State Association in April hy singing in a chorus of mixed voices made up of stu' dents of all the schools from the Southwestern Division. In the County Intellectual Contest the Girls' Quartet won silver medals. - MARION McGILL. f .io 3 BOYS' QUARTET The Boys' Quartet is made up of the following: Erwin Stahlman '30, First Tenorg Marion McGill '30, Second Tenorg Vernon Anderson '30, Baritoneg Ralph Dickson '31, Bass. The Quartet was organized late in December due to the athletic activities of the school. They practiced once a week. The student body was entertained by 21 variety of numbers selected for the occasion. They also represented Marissa Town' ship High School at the County Meet and McKendree Interscholastic Meet. At the McKendree Meet the quartet took second place. -ARABELLA J. TRIEFENBACH. I 41 1 ORCHESTRA Music holds one of the most important places in the group of activities in the Marissa Township High School. Those worthy to represent our High School were selected from a talented group of students. The success of this orchestra is due to the patient work and training of Miss Linkenhelt, the Music instructor and con' ductor of this body. The Orchestra has been very loyal in supporting the Basketball team in many victories at home. It pepped up the team when it was at the short end of the score and furnished entertainment during the intermissions. The Orchestra also played an important part in entertaining our patrons be' tween the scenes and acts of the many high school plays. -MARION C. McGILL.

The tables and cabinets are of special design and accommodate all the branches of science taught in the school. The apparatus is adequate and of the best quality. Pupils and patrons have a feeling of pride in the completeness of the equip' ment, for in this laboratory we have provision for thorough work in Biology, Phys' ics, and Chemistry. NW fr.. ,. ,milf 0 L45 J Commercial Deparfmenl' The Commercial Department offers Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typing, Business Arithmetic and Business Law and is the largest in the history of the school. To ac' commodate the larger classes two bookkeeping tables and four new typewriters have been added to our department this school year. Bookkeeping is a course that teaches us to be accurate and thorough. Bookkeep- ing students are easily distinguished by their inky fingers. The class is composed of fifteen Seniors, twelve juniors, and one Freshman. In Shorthand the way to success is short if you can move your hand fast enough. We have always been told that Practice makes perfect , and it does take practice, more practice, and lots of it in taking our notes and transcribing them. Typing calls for both speed and accuracy, but accuracy comes first, then speed . Four periods a day are devoted to the Typewriting Classes. Many students have become good typists under the patient direction of Miss Mueller. Four girls were chosen to represent our school at the County Meet in Belleville, Illinois. Business Arithmetic and Business Law were found to be instructive subjects, and interesting, too, judging from the size of both classes. -JEAN F. WALKER. f46 3 The Home Economics Department Two courses which are interesting as well as educational for girls in high school are cooking and sewing. Both were given last year but this year only sewing was offered. It has been dccided that from this time on the two courses are to be alter' nated. Our cooking class of 192829 consisted of seven girls. Various kinds of foods including pastries, canned goods, and other dainty dishes were prepared by the class. A field trip was made to one of the modern homes of Marissa in order that the girls might see an ideal kitchen arrangement. A tea was given in connection with an exhibit by the sewing class, to which the Parents, School Board and Faculty were invited. The cooking class also prepared and served a luncheon for the mem' bers of the Faculty. At another time the class prepared sweetmeats and popfcorn for a Novelty Show which was given by the High School. To make a long story short- this course was a benefit and enjoyment to all even if there were some failures in cooking. The sewing class of 192960 is comprised of ten girls. Frequently newlyfmade garments are seen on the members of the sewing class. Dresses, smocks, and the like are constantly on display and all look very neat and trim, but all will admit that it is hard when we have to take out a faulty seam and sew it. Several field trips are being planned, one of which is a trip to a nearby farm to see the process of shearing sheepg another is a visit to either the Glove Factory of Marissa or the Rayon Mills at Sparta, from which it is hoped that the girls will get a number of educational points. -DOROTHEA KUNZE. if 4Q',,Ni .L 'fini fl allies 5-WWW F ,j1'53jlggL,5Y i QW QI i471 Ann Aikin Gail Aiken NVayne Aiken Vernon Anderson Babel Bollmeyer Pauline Brown Catharine Buchman Marie Calvert Dorothy Cromer Hazel Cunningham Ralph Dickson Ivan Dickey Inez Forsythe Irma Heap Milton G.

All those who are tak' ing Latin or have successfully taken it for two years are eligible. There are fortyffive members of the Latin Club. There are two benefits derived from this social organization. It is interesting and educational. Latin games are played, skits are given, as well as interesting talks. The programs are usually based on the life of some great Roman or American-or else a mythological reference. Later in the year the club is planning to give a Roman Banquet. This always takes more time and work, but it is very interesting. This year the club is going to have a program in honor of the twofthousandth birthday anniversary of Vergil, the great Roman poet, to which the townspeople are to be invited. --VIVIAN ANGLIN. 41N 'QMIIIMQ f 4 i 9 I N W i KJV , . , Y - .

T. H. S. in 1927. In 1928 it was reorganized by Miss Aurelia Pergande and has since been a source of en' joyment, as well as a great beneiit, to each and every one of the members. Many of the girls of this association are members of the Girls' Basketball team, of which our school is very proud. On March 24, the Marissa G. A. A. won third place in the State Telegraphic Tournament. M-PAULINE KRIZO. l 50 I Manual Training To understand the Manual Training Department we must first know the mean' ing of the term. Manual Training as an educational term, includes all hand work used as a means in general education. This handftraining differs from education, in that it emphasizes manual skill and the ability to make such by-products. Judg' ment, accuracy and observation are to be attained. It is a department for the boys who are interested in an elementary education of this kind. After the second week of school, Manual Training got into full sway. The delay was due to the moving of the working rooms into a different part of the building. The new room was equipped with electric saws, lathe, and jointer. After a few weeks the department was in good shape and running smoothly under the direction of the instructor, Mr. Floyd, who is also the Athletic Coach. At the beginning of the term the first and second year students were so num' erous that two classes were formed. The two classes consisted mostly of Freshmen although several Sophomores, juniors and a few Seniors were included. In this department, bench work was given three days a week and mechanical drawing the other two. The bench work was the most interesting phase of the work. It dealt in the making of projects. Among some of the projects Hnished were crossflap joints, coat and hat racks, book racks, footfstools, taborets, flower pot pedes- tals, chairs, tables, and cedar chests. Mechanical drawing was the discouraging part of the work. It consisted of the drawing to scale of the projects to be made. This enabled the student to fully understand the projects being constructed. In the drawing of the project three views were given: the side, end and top views. Besides these drawings, cross-sections, aux' iliary projections, oblique, and isometric were all worked out. Lathe work was also given to the second year students at different periods. It included the making of difficult lathe turning exercises-candle sticks, pin-boxes, rolling pins and potato mashers. These projects were made from oak, hickory, cedar, walnut, cherry, pine, and cypress. The projects finished were made mostly from cypress, cedar, walnut, cherry, and pine. They were finished with stain, dye, varnish, shellac, and lacquer. -WILLIAM WASHNER. I 51 I Green Stockings By A. E. W.

By a unanimous agreement it was decided to have a weiner roast. This weiner roast was to be at White's Farm. On Friday evening, October 18, the Seniors met at the High School. Different members of the class furnished cars, and at seven o'clock we were on our way. As White's Farm is just about four miles from Marissa, we arrived there in a very short time. The boys started a huge fire and then we forgot our dignity of being Seniors and began to play games. Every one joined in these frolics. After an hour and a half of this exercise we were ready for a good meal. Weiners, marshmallows and apples were roasted, and Mrs. White furnished us with delicious pumpkin pies. At ten o'clock we decided to return home although the bright stars and moon were beckoning us to stay with them a little longer. -RUTH HALEMEYER. R Surprise Party A surprise party was given on Tuesday, March 11, at the home of Mr. J. F. Kunze, in honor of Dorothea Kunze's eighteenth birthday. The guests were the members of the Senior Class. The secret of this party was kept up until the arrival of the guests, when Doro- thea was called to the door to find the members of the Senior Class on the porch. The evening was spent in playing games and all had a very good time. At eleven o'clock a very delicious buffet luncheon was served. The table looked very attractive with its load of good things to eat and the centerpiece, a huge sunshine cake deco- rated with pink and white frosting and pink candles, served as an attractive decoraf tion, as well as a splendid dessert. This party will be long remembered by each member of the Senior Class as an outstanding event in their list of good times together. -RUTH HALEMEYER. l 56 l E571 i531 i593 The School Calendar Sept. 2.

S. during the time the members of this class were Freshmen, was a combination of boys and girls. They elected Horst jeschke as president, and Paul Hays as cheer leader. They did not have as much pep as they should have had during this year. It seemed that only a few came to the games and cheered the team. In the Sophomore year they thought that perhaps a little competition would help the organization, so they elected the girls' cheer leader, Alberta Hamilton: the boys', Ralph and Heinz jeschke. The president of the boys' club was William Edwards, and the president of the girls' was Helen Barker. This plan worked fairly well, but it did not seem to arouse much more pep than in the Freshman year. In the Junior year the boys and girls were again combined to form a pep organization. Al' berta Hamilton and Ralph jeschke were cheer leaders, as before, and Robert Dickey was elected president. There was more pep this year than before, perhaps because of the fact that WE were upperclassmen. The boys and girls were again combined in the Senior year. They elected as president. Wilford Vollert. and the cheer leaders as in the previous years were Alberta Hamilton and Ralph Ieschke. The pep this year was just as good if not better than last. It seems that a com' bination of boys and girls forms the best pep organization. -GORDON RANEY. I 621 TB LL The football season of 1929 was an outstanding one for the M. T. H. S.-from the standpoint of defeats, the team winning one game and losing five. The team won from Nashville and lost to Belleville, DuQuoin, Carlyle, and two games to our old rival, Sparta. These defeats should not be held against the team because of the fact that our boys were light in weight, all of our opponents outweighing us with the exception of Nashville, and most of the boys were unexperieneed. At the beginning of the season thirty men were out for the team including nine lettermen but one was ineligible. Coach Floyd worked hard with the material he had but the odds were against him. ' Two of the games this year were outstanding because of the condition under which they were played. The first was played with Carlyle at night on the lighted field of McKendree College at Lebanon. This was quite a novelty as neither team had played a night game before. The other game was with Sparta and was played at home on Thanksgiving Day. The field was covered with snow to a depth of eight inches and the game might have been played better if both teams had been equipped with snowfshoes. In every game Captain Lee gave a good account of himself. He pulled off many good end runs which accounted for most of our gains. He kept up the pep at all times and caused the team to fight back in every game. -KENNETH SCOTT.

At the start of the season the outlook was not so bright, as there were just two lettermen from the previous year on the team. Coach Floyd worked very hard with the players he had and turned out a good squad. Even though the team was little it did not keep them from fighting from start to finish and their speed made up for the lack of height. The team won nine games, four more than last year. Two games were won from Dupo, the score 1-0, because an ineligible man was on the squad. Three of the games lost were in overtime periods. The game with Freeburg here was very exciting as the lead changed hands many times during the game. Freeburg finally won when they made three points and our team one during the overtime period. Another thrilling and even better game from our standpoint was the game with Steeleville. Steeleville led during the Hrst quarter, but the score was tied at the end of the half and against the end of the third quarter. The Marissa team played the best they ever hadw-scoring sixteen points and holding Steeleville to none in the fourth quarter. The season ended in such a fashion that all the previous defeats were forgotten. Marissa drew East Saint Louis for the first game in the district tournament. Every one hoped to win for Marissa had drawn East Saint Louis two out of three years before at the tournament and had lost both games by big scoresg therefore, everyone was certain that our chances were very small. But to the surprise and enjoyment of all, our team defeated their opponents in a fast game, with a score of 2247. Prospects will be brighter next year as there will be four lettermen back. Marissa will be in the Cahokia Conference next season, and we expect them to win the cup. -KENNETH A. SCOTT. T661 7 wr ' lbllflfff fm M- f phpyngs H571 GYMNASIUM GRADUATES OF THE ACADEMY 1889 john H.

GLENN DENTAL SURGEON First National Bank Bldg. MARISSA, ILLINOIS I76I 1897 Stepping 1930 Into the Thirty-third Year of Happy Business Relations In 1897, thirtyfthree years ago, this business was established by Martin Geiger. From a small beginning it has grown into one of the largest department stores in the state. Through good and bad times this store has always been progressive and has become a Better Store with each succeeding year. The Geiger Store is proud to say that many of its customers in 1897 are its customers today, and where the folks have passed to the beyond we can, in many cases, trace even to the third generation as patrons of this store. Quality Merchandise has always been the first consideration of this store. All merchandise has always been priced fairly to make it safe and profitable for the customers to buy here. The Geiger Store Company in these many years must have been giving Good Service-Fair Treatment-and been honest in its dealings with its customers or it could not have survived and kept growing stronger with each succeeding year. Back of it all was the principle to build, not for today or tomorrow but a clientage that would come back again and again. These same principles that stood the test for thirty-three years are the ones that guide this store today, and through it we hope to merit your continued patronage.
