Lila Powell ASSOCIATES Herman Kutter Fred Sauer Lola Krausse Myrtle Kreis Elbridge McIntyre FACULTY ADVISERS Miss Mary L. Coffey Kenneth M. Snapp EDITORIAL The past year has witnessed an increased growth in both our Domestic Science and Agricultural departments. The high school now comes under the Smith-Hughes requirements and the federal government pays part of the ex- pense of maintaining these departments. Probably the greatest interest of our community centers in athletics. Foot ball, basket ball and track being the major sports. Our teams have seen victory but there is something greater that makes us proud that we are stu- dents of the Mendota Township High School and that is our unchallenged and unblemished record for clean sportsmanship, also that spirit which teaches our athletes to play the game, play hard but with victory only when victory is deserved. No small amount of the credit for the past seasons success belongs to our coaches who worked hard and faithfully to make winning teams. Mr. S. J. Haight, president of the Board of Education, and a former college athlete, has given much of his time in assisting our athletic department. Perhaps there are some errors or shortcomings in this book, but please remember that we regret them even more than you. In closing, the staff wishes to extend a word of appreciation to Mr. K. M. Snapp, faculty adviser, also to the people who contributed articles for the alumni section of the 1920 year book. However, this article would not be complete without mentioning the financial assistance we have received from our advertisers, for without their aid this book would not have been possible.

On a dreary, rainy day in September, 1916, the Class of '20 made its debut into the halls of learning at old Blackstone lligh School. We did not allow this gloomy beginning to depress us long and were soon happily launched on our first high school year. During our first year we followed the usual course of study and remained very timid and meek, perhaps a little over-awed by the knowledge which is so frequently displayed by the upper classes. We succeeded in placing our class eolors in the assembly hall at Blackstone after a short struggle and even went so far as to help the Sophomores in displaying their colors although they were rather loath to admit that they needed the help of Freshmen, though they objected not at all to profiting by it. However, in our second year, being now located in the new Township High School, we became more lively and began to establish ourselves as a class with a great deal of enthusiasm and pep. This year we saw three of our classmen winning honors on the football field and one on the basket ball team. Silas Marner, the first play to be given in the High School Auditorium was staged by the Sophomore English Ulasses. Although this was only an amateur theatrieal, it was here that we began to diseover the dramatic ability in our class. The High School also made use of our talent in the minstrel show that was given by the students during this year. When we became Juniors, our class was again well represented in ath- letics. This year there were five of our men on the football team and three on thc basket ball team, needless to say they added to the laurels won by our class in former years. In the first deelamatory contest which took place in our third year, three of our members participated, each sharing part of the honors. As our Junior year was drawing to a close we found that we did not have sufficient funds with which to entertain the Seniors so with our usual prompt- ness and enthusiasm we gave our class play, For One Night Only , which enabled us to take the Seniors to Starved Rock and later to a banquet, held in their honor, at Hotel Kaskaskia. T went y-one We cannot close this record of our Junior year without mention of the irreparable loss to our class of our well-loved president, Albert Henry, who died Oct. 12th, 1918. Although he could not be with us to finish our High School course his memory is ever present, and his example has been our in- spiration throughout all our class activities. Now, we are on our last year of High School life, the year that most Seniors Wish they were infant Freshmen againg the year when they discover that there are things much, much worse than attending school, and the year when they realize that high school is just about the best time in their lives after all. VVe feel that the editing of our annual is the most important thing that we have accomplished this year, although our class was represented in the declamatory contest, and we also staged our class play, Green Stockings. This year we have tried to keep up the high school spirit and to do such things as will leave the High School with a good opinion of the Class of '20, and we think and sincerely hope that We have succeeded, if in only a small part, in carrying out this ideal. ' Prophecy I was sitting in my office one day, thinking of the times I used to have when I was a Senior in tligh School. I had not seen any of my schoolmates for te11 years. As I was dreaming, my office boy came in and said that a man wished to see me. When he entered I discovered that it was my old school- mate, Dean O'Neil. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he was engaged in the manufacture of powder puffs. I was not surprised at this as he was quite a 1ady's man i11 his school days. We talked for quite a while and finally he asked me if I woud like to take a trip with him. Of course I accepted his offer. He said that I should be ready to start in two days from that time. This trip was to be taken in an aeroplane, as Mr. 0'Neil was intending to buy one. So thc day came to start. I met him at the field from which We were to start. The fi: st place we landed was in a small town of about eight hundred peo- ple. There was quite a bit of excitement among the people. We asked a fellow, who was sitting in front of a store, what was going on. He told us that there was a divorce case being tried at the court house. As we would not leave un- til the next morning, we thought that it would be a good place to spend the afternoon, so over we went. Twenty-two What was our surprise to see sitting in the Judge 's chair, Julius Schaller. We noticed that he was a little gray haired. He told us afterwards that it was caused by listening and presiding over so many divorce cases. When the plaintiff appeared, 0'Neil and myself nearly fell out of our seats, for who should it be but Robert Cummings. I wondered what was the matter with him and his wife, formerly Jaunita Reeder. As I looked around the court room to see where the plaintiff's lawwer was, I noticed my old school friend Herman Kntter. I motioned for him to come over, and asked him what the matter was. He said that Bob 's wife wanted to be a dancer, but when Bob wouldn't let her she stuck him with a hat pin. Herman Kutter certainly was some lawyer, he spoke with such force that the jury granted Bob his divorce. His wife went to the city and started dancing. XVe said good-bye to all the old school friends, and the next day continued our trip. We were tiying across the country and a good trip was assured when something happened to our motor, so we had to come down. The machine was looked over by the mechanic who found that it was overheated because we had run out of water. We saw a farm house a little way off so we went there for some water. We knocked at the door and it was opened by none other than Roland Bates. He was a successful farmer in that part of the country. We asked him for some water. He invited us to stay there over night, but as we had to make the trip in a certain time, we had to decline. The mechanic had the motor running, when we got back, so we got in and started on the trip again. We were flying over a city and looking down. We could see a lot of auto- mobiles collected in one place, so we thought that there must. be something interesting going on. We came down and were told that there was an auto race taking place, which was for Fords only. We came to the track and found the race was already on. It was very exciting and there was especially one driver who was very reckless and he was the one who won the race. We went up to see what he was like and the shock was so great that I nearly fainted for who should this driver be but Elbridge McIntyre. He was then the Champion of the Ford Racing world. There was to be another race at this place between motorcycles. We, of course, stayed for this and were very glad to get a chance to see it. When the motorcycles lined up with their drivers, I saw that one of them was some one I knew. I looked more closely and recognized Edmund Blei. He was the driver of No. 23. The race soon started and on the last half, it was reported that No. 23 was wrecked. We hurried over, but were too late to see Edmund. We went to the Hospital to which they took him. VVhen I came into the room I was surprised to see that Viola Anschieks was his nurse. They told me at the Hospital that she was the best trained nurse in the country, and that Edmund would soon be well again, as his injuries were not serious. Twenty-three We soon got started on our way again. This time we did not stop until we came to a city of about 800,000 people. 'We landed and decided to stay over night so we booked our rooms and went for a walk about the business center of the city. We finally came to a large theater which had advertised The World Renowned Saxaphone Jazz Orchestra also The Famous Violin- ist of the World. We decided to attend, and we had some time to get our tiekets as there was such a crowd, but finally we got in. The curtain rose at 8 130 o'clock and there sat the world renowned orches- tra which was greeted with much applause by the audience. For the first number they played a very beautiful selection and when the leader turned around I recognized Edward Bieser. I got a chance to talk to him after the show. He told me that he had traveled all over Europe and America and that he was just finishing his stay here and after that he was going to New York for three months. The next number on the program was The World's Famous Violinist. I was very much surprised when I saw that this violinist was Myrtle Kreis. She told me later that after she was through school she went to Europe and studied music. The next day we started out to finish our trip. This was Wednesday. We had about five days to finish in. lVe left the city early in the morning and flew nearly all morning, when we ran out of gas, so of course we had to come down. As luck would have it we came near a small town of about three hun- dred people. We inquired of an old man where we could get some gas. He told us that there were no gas wells or gas works in town. We had to make it plain that we wanted gasoline. He told us that there was a small implement shop up the street Where they sold gasoline as well as farm implements. We went to this place and found a building. Although it was small it proved that the owner was prosperous. NVe went in and who should come up to us and ask what we wanted, but 'Edward Pohl, and he told us that he was doing a very good business, so large in fact, that he had to have an assistant mana- ger. Vile asked him fwho he was. He told us that he was Marion Krieder. VVe bought our gas and continued our trip. The next place we came to we saw a sign announcing a style show that day. I did not care for styles, but Dean being a lady's man had to see them. We went to see them. I first discovered that the designer of the dresses and suits was Margurite Deaner. We also found out that Vileta Herbert and Elsie- Mcflullough were employed here, the former as a hair dresser and the latter as a manieurist. I next went to a theater while Dean went to have his suit pressed. I saw a play called, The Man Who Makes Girls Leave Home. I received the sur- Tir crafty-fou r l prise of my life when I discovered that the leading lady was Clara Deflries but I was not surprised when I discovered that Bruce Gilmore played the leading man's part. XVhen I met Dean again I thought that I had a surprise for him. I told him who 1 had seen and what they were doing. He told me that he had seen and had his clothes fixed by a very successful tailor, Robert Boyle. The next day we continued our trip and only made one landing. This was at a fairly good sized place and there I met William Gorman. He was a mem- ber of the Bachelor's Union. I told him about the different schoolmates that I had seen. He told me that Glen Momeny was general manager for John D. Rockefeller's oil fields, and that Edith Miller was married to a very prominent garage man. When we arrived at a town of about 350,000 people I was surprised to find that Lola Krausse was dancing there. She told me that she gave dancing lessons in the day and did ballet dancing at. night. l remembered that I had to send a very important business letter to my office, so I looked up a Public Stenograph- er and whom should it be but Edna Grosh. I gave her my letter and asked her if she knew anything about the other class mates. She told me that Pearl Parsons was a Secretary at Washington and that she was very successful. The next place we landed was at the University of Illinois. Here I found Elmer Beitsch a Professor of Chemistry and Edith Wagner a teacher of Eng- lish. After I had talked with them I went down the street. I could hear music somewhere. I soon discovered that it came from the Salvation Army. One of the women workers was passing among the crowd. When she came to me I saw that she was none other than Rose McNally. This did not complete my surprise here for I found that Frcida Kutter was a very important Suffrage Leader, and was to give a talk to the students. I asked Frieda about Hilda Haefner. She said that Hilda was married and living on a farm near Mendota. As it was now Sunday and we were going to stay there for the day we de- cided to go to church. This was unusual of course. 'There was only one church of any importance in the town so we went there. I discovered that the preacher was no one else than Fred Sauer. He did not notice us until after the sermon and when he did he nearly fell off the pulpit. He carre down and invited us over to his house and introduced us to his wife whom I recognized as the Fresh- man girl that he liked while a Senior. I asked Fred about some of the students. He said that Reta McNinch was a country school teacher and that .Josephine and Mary Stenger were married to brothers and were living in the same house. I was not very much surprised at this as they were always inseparable in school. When we arrived home I found that Louise Goebel was a kindergarten teacher and Lila Powell was a music teacher. I asked Louise about Stella Wid- Twenty-five mer. She told me that shc was a traveling companion of a widow. That night 1 thought over the things that had happened on the trip. It all seemed like a dream, but it was the most enjoyable trip 1 ever took. Robert Harkness. Will VVe, the Seniors of the M. T. H.

Edith Wagner. We Lose Our Leaders This year of 1920 is of a little more moment in the history of the M. T. H. S. than any before. It is more of a breaking up than any of the preceding ones since our new building was completed. We have had a faculty that sticks for the students and the students for them. But this year we are losing our leader, K. M. Snapp. We have never had a superintendent who has made so many lasting friends as has K. M. The fellows don 't hold him in awe for he is one of them and all for them. The news of his good work in Mendota has spread and he leaves to take charge of a school system which we are sure is still too small for his abilities. Another privilege that the class of '20 has had is that of working under the administration of Mr. C. C. Hanna. Besides standing first for good school work, he has aided greatly in the social functions and in basketsball and track. In fact, Mr. Hanna has taken more interest in athletics than any Principal we Twenty-seven have ever had. He also leaves for a larger field and we are sure that he will more than do himself justice. Besides losing our superintendent and principal, many of our best teachers are leaving. We regret their going and Wish them all kinds of success. Mr. Beebe, the man who comes as superintendent, needs no introduction as he was formerly our principal. He will stand by the same high ideals as have Mr. Snapp and Mr. Hanna. We welcome him and only wish We might be back and help him. ' Guess W ho There was a little Freshman, He sits in the first seat. Altho he is so very small, It 's not true about his feet. We have a handsome Sophomore, Who aids the football team.. I think his name is Harry, But the girls think he's a dream. A tall and lanky Junior boy, Loves colors very bright. He never stops to think of us, And how it affects our sight. We won't forget the sweater That 's in the Senior Class. The brown is like the 0Wl16I',S hair, The green is like the grass.

And unto XValdo Nauman they gave the Presidency, unto Millie Phelps, Vice Presidency, unto Ruth Cooprider, Secretary and Treas- urershipg and unto Miss Nussel, Class adviser, to every one according to his ability. And straightway they continued their journey. June 4- And it came to pass at the end of the year the ruler gathered the ntultitude together and he journeyed with them into a far land, where they made merry. And they were provided with food of many kinds. Sept. 8- And they came a third time, and a third time they chose a ruler and assistants thus: President, Millie Phelpsg Vice President, Elmer Schallerg Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Coopriderg Sergeant-at Arms, Courtney Neiman, Class Adviser, Miss Barnett. Oct. 30- And they chose themselves a sign whereby they might be known, which sign may be seen on the lapels of their garments. And there shall be no man able to stand before them.

Oh! the charm of that word. It means that we, who entered the portals of this high school in 1918 as Freshmen have worked hard, and behold our reward! As a class wc have held together. We believe in the motto, United we stand, divided we fall : And while doing much in our first year, we came back in September determined to accomplish more, and we have. For wl1o can deny it, when we say that we have backed our school and teams, or that we have school spirit, although some of our members have shown a little too much fervor in some of the recent happenings with the Seniors. Our talents lead to many things: Athletics, Art, Science, Mathematics, Oratory, and so on. In a.thletics we are represented by Madden, Potter and Kaufman, in art, Hester Rex ranks among the best. And Edward Nolan speaks for himself in Oratory, while Edward Spanier and Wesley Niebergal are well versed in the science of electricity. And talking about speed, the Seniors may have their McIntyre but we have our Walter Rhea, who never even stops for such a small thing as a porch or two, and John Merritt the class cherub of last year has added basket ball to his list of accomplishments. At our first class meeting on our return from vacation, we elected Miss Nussle our class adviser, and this choice we do not regret as she has proved equal to all burdens we have placed upon her. For president we re-elected Irma Kohl who served us so well in our first year. Harold Potter was called on to serve as secretary and treasurer, and Edward Nolan was voted in as vice president. D Some time later we were called on to publish the first issue of the class paper, and while not a complete success we strove hard to please and on our next attempt we are sure that it will be more successful. Taking things in general we are proud of our record, but we all unite in saying that we are looking forward to a new and better record in our Junior year. Stuart Cummings.

At nine of clock school was called. We were then given our seats and also introduced to the faculty. For various reasons five have departed from our midst so that we now number sixty-five. Our first thoughts, when entering the school on that memorable morning. were, Now, we are going to be tormented because we are Freshmen. It was dreadful to think of being Green Freshiesn as We were called. We must admit that the first few days of school we passed at the sounding of the bell, got into wrong class rooms, and also congregated in the halls many times, but we soon learned the ways of our upper classmen, and became Model Students. ' ' We did not organize our class for several months after school started be- cause Mr. Halma thought that if we became better acquainted with the teachers and also our class mates, it would be much easier for us to select our officers and also our class adviser. At the first class meeting Ruth Wright was elected president, Anne Henry, vice-president, Helen Parsons, secretary and treasurer. Miss Haffner was chos- en as our class adviser. According to the custom of the school in choosing class colors, we chose blue and white. We, of course, think we are the most brilliant class in the school for how could we help but think so, when we have such bright lights as Gardner Cona- boy, Edwin Hoeger, Ruth Dean, Jessie Sanders and Mabel Shaw. In our estimation the tallest person in the class is none other than Robert Cavell, the largest boy, Gladys Morrill, the thinnest girl, Edwin Hoegerg the boldest person, Harold Sharpg the brightest person, Gardner Conaboy, the fquietest, most studious and also one who loathes girls, Corl Chase.

Miss Nussle', Miss Radcliffe and Miss llallisev went as chaperones. After lunch, we took a boat to llorse Shoe Uanyon. A nuinhcr of the boys and girls walked to the canyon, but returned with those who took the boat. Uther canyons were visited during the day. Towards evening four or five of the girls got lost. This caused a great deal otf excitement among the teachers and the remaining pupils. but after much searching' and anxiety on the part of the teachers they returned un- harmed. Nevertheless, every one reported a very good time, having' liberally patronized both the iec cream parlor and the dance hall. Banqueis Something new in social activities was instituted by the boys of the agricultural classes this year. On March 30th, they gave a banquet and pro- gram in the Domestic Science parlors ot' thc high school, the fathers of the boys being guests, about sixty being present. There are twenty-eight Agricultural pupils and nearly every father was present. Others seated at the banquet table as guests were: Mr. J. E. Hill, Asst. Director of Vocational Agriculture for illinois, Mr. I. S. Brooks, LaSalle llounty Farm Adviser, Mr. Mudgct of LaSalle, Mr. C. C. Hanna, Principal of lligh School, and Mr. D. C. Tower, President of the Board of Education. After a sumptuous banquet feast which was prepared by Miss Hallisey and her Domestic Science cooking pupils, a program followed. Mr. Dolan, Agricultural teacher presided as toast-master. Speeches by Mr. Dolan, Mr. Tower, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Hill and Mr. Hanna dwelling on the place of agriculture in the high school, its needs and its bene- I+'o'rty-f fro -- 1 'rN1 : 1' W fits to the community were all heartily received. Co-operation seemed to be the topic of the evening. A get together of this kind brings about a friendly feeling and a closer relationship between the teachers, the home, and the pupils. This is the first Father and Son banquet undertaken by the high school and it surely was successful. We all look forward to this banquet as an annual event and one of thc most important social activities of the Agricultural classes. FACULTY PARTIES At various times during the winter members of the faculty have availed themselves of the opportunities offered by the kitchen, dining room and gym- nasium and many very pleasant dinners and informal dances have been held. The cooking has invariably been done by women instructors which per- haps accounts for some of the rather bad eases of grouch which have been apparent at times. However, in spite of resulting indigestion, the men of the faculty have responded heroically to all school dinner invitations and the ladies, in return, have never refused a dance. . - BOARD BANQUET The custom of the High School is to give a banquet to the teachers every year. This year it was given by the Board. The Advanced Cooking Class were called upon to do the serving. There were forty-five present. This was given in the sewing room. The tables were very prettily decorated and ar- ranged. The banquet was under the management of Mrs. Nealin, the in- structor in Domestic Science. Mr. C. P. Gardner very ably acted as toast-master and responses were made by various members of the Board of Education and Faculty. An orchestra occupied the room adjacent to the dining room and the music rendered added materially to the pleasure of the evening. The Board is to be congratulated upon the success of this splendid get- together function. Forty-three N Last year the privilege of holding dances in the High fs , School Gymnasium was granted to the students. On account 3-' of the short time before school closed only three parties ,lt , were held. Q I X x if , A! tl D f 1- ...H This year we came back ready to make good use of the privilege. As soon as possible a committee consisting of Roland Bates, Edward Beiscr and Lila Powell was chosen M' by the faculty, to arrange for the social affairs. A The first dancing party was a masquerade held on Friday evening October 31st. The decorations were in keeping with the spirit of Hallowe'en. Black eats and witches were prominent about the hall. In the center of the floor was a large shock of corn and from it orange and black streamers were strung across the room. Streamers also hung from the many lights in the ceiling. Rosenke's orchestra of LaSalle furnished the music and dancing began at eight o'elock. The first number was a grand march in which everyone took part. This gave the judges a chance to make their decisions on the costumes which was very hard to do. Every one came dressed to represent some character. Some were beau- tiful and others were extremely comical. Those who were awarded prizes were Mary Katherine Cannon, dressed as a red rose, LeRoy Faber representing Har- ry Lauder, and Edward Beiscr who took the part of Ginger the wild African. In one corner was a fortune teller 's liooth to which we no'i':ed many of our vain young people wa11de1'ed, eagerly watching and waiting to hear what the bright little gypsy had to tell them. Refreshments were served, consisting of apples, doughnuts and popcorn balls and those who wished to quench their thirst wan- dered over to a corner where among son e branches of autumn leaves, a keg of sweet. cider was found. At eleven o'clock every one departed wishing that we might have many more good times together. We were glad to see that so many of the parents were there and we wish that more of' them would attend our parties. On account of the coal situation we were not permitted to have any more evening dances until after the Christmas holidays. So on Friday Dee. 12, a matinee dance was given in the gym. 'The music was furnished by Miss Rad- cliffe, Mr. Beiscr and Mr. Jack. The dancing lasted from four until six o'cloek. Not many were present, but all who stayed reported a good time. On Tuesday Dele.23, a matinee dance was given in honor of the class of 1919. Most of the members of that class were present and all enjoyed the few hours together. Dcmming's orchestra furnished the music. At six-thirty re- freshments were served after which the dancing continued until seven-thirty. Forty-fou r ,f: C --'A ' 14 ilillal , The funior-Senior Prom. According to the custom from time immemorial, the class of 1920 enter- tained the class of 1919. On June 4, 1919, soon after luncheon, the Juniors and Seniors started for the well known place of enjoyment, Starved Rock. The afternoon was spent in enjoying the beautiful spots which Starved Rock affords us or in whiling away the time by dancing in the pavillion. At about five thirty o'elock this merry band of classmates departed for LaSalle where at the Kaskaskia Hotel a delicious banquet was served. Toasts were given by Mr. VVarburg, Robert Conkey, Frank Breaw, Elinda Kohl, Adrienne Fasset, Juanita Reder, Roland Bates and Fred Sauer. After the banquet a dance was held in the reception room of the Kaskaskia Hotel. The music was furnished by Rosenke's orchestra. The hours tlitted away only too quickly for at twelve o'cloek we had to depart for home. Our aim was to show our classmates what spirit of enter- tainment we possessed and I think we have succeeded in that, for one still hears remarks of appreciation and praise from the members of the class of 1919. Second Semester Dances At the beginning of the second semester it was time for the Faculty to appoint a new committee. This time Elbridge McIntyre, Dean O'Neil, Roberta Smith and Millie Phelps were chosen. The first dance in the second semester was given on St. Valentine 's Day, Saturday, February 14. The gymnasium was decorated very prettily. Red and white streamers were strung across the room. Across the front of the stage was a lattice work of red and white strips of paper and, to add to this, several kewpie dolls with large red bows of ribbon on them were placed along tl1e front of the platform. The orchestra sat behind this lattice work and altogether the platform presented a very pretty scene. Barr's Orchestra fur- nished the music. About 10:30 small red hearts, with numbers on them, were given out and every one was told to find the corresponding number to be his partner at lunch. Some found a great deal of amusement in making their numbers match. On account of the bad weather not many were present, so on Monday afternoon a dance was given for the benefit of those who could not attend Saturday evening. The next dance was given on Friday evening, April 16. Barr 's orchestra furnished the music and the dancing began at eight o'clock. At ten o'cloek refreshments were served, after which the dancing continued until eleven. Every one reported a good time. Although this is the last dance of the school year and the last one that we will be allowed to attend, we hope that the underclassmen may have many more next year and in the years to follow. l orty-fire HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ALIVIA K.

Wlieii judged from the standpoint of a specta.tor from the balcony, I am sure tha.t you will agree with me that it is a wonderful place for gastronomic gymnastics. For instance, who would not be edified at the sight of Mr. Horst and Miss Radcliffe gracefully filling the posts of Host and Hostess at opposite ends of the large faculty table: both sides of which are filled except one vacant place for our principal. It is plain that Mr. Hanna has formed had habits since leaving the army for he is always late to mess. This also explains why Mr. Hanna is not putting on weight, because Mr. Horst always gets his second helping before Mr. Hanna arrives. Mrs. Nealin was never found at the faculty table because she usually stands back of the counter daintily nibbling at a pickle with a far away look in her eyes. CWe are all for you, Bettyj Over in one corner you will find at one table Marjorie Blanchard, Anne Henry, Lucille Fritz and Mildred Kohl and as near as possible without being at the same table is Dick Smith, Fred Sauer and Corl Chase. The other place is left vacant for the absent member of the partyg needless to say, their luncheon receives the least of their attention. Just before Christmas Holidays the Seniors started Class day in the cafe- teria. They were put up to this by Miss Miller. They arranged several tables in a group and the seniors with Miss Coffey all sat at the one table. A Fresh- man had the nerve to come over and sit down at the table, but the Seniors realizing that Freshmen do not know about such things, let him stay. It has been whispered among the under classmen that the only reason the Seniors did this was because it happened that on this day a chicken dinner was served and it was the seniors turn to be last. This caused the Juniors to say spiteful things about the Seniors. Of course, this is only talk. However, none of the other classes took advantage of this fine opportunity to combine pleasure with business for they all had their class days when it was their turn to be first. tBut they will learn by the time they become Seniors.J Forty-seven But hold: I have almost forgotten to mention the grandest sight of all. I am suddenly aware that there is a wonderful array of colored lights iiashing around the gymg but on looking closer I find that Philip Yost is leading his little army from the balcony for their daily piece of pie, and the lights are simply reflections from Philip 's diamonds. It is certainly an impressive sight with Harold Potter, John Merritt, and Edson Merritt bringing up the rear. These are only a few of the many reasons that the students of the M. T. H. S. are so proud of their Cafeteria. Oh Seniors so grand, We all understand Why your heads are so lofty and high. You have reached the top step And you're chuck full of pep With ambitions that soar to the sky. Y0u're Juniors we know, But you 're painfully slow, Wake up and get into the game. You have beauty 'tis true, But what will that do To add to your fortune and fame? Oh Sophies so gay, If you 'd change your way, By next year you'd be avfine bunch. Just hand out a smlile, 'Twould be well worth t.he while, To profit by this little hunch. But best on the slate Are the Freshies sedate For our beauty and brains are complete. We're always on top And we never will stop 'Till we have the whole school at our feet. Mildred Kohl.

Fifty-one Senior Class Play Green Stockings, written by A. ll. Mason was given in the High School auditorium both afternoon and evening of April 30 by the Senior elass. Mod- esty prohibits the writer, a Senior. to give his own opinion, so the following ar- ticle taken from a local newspaper undoubtedly will explain why Green Stockings proved to be such a success and why the public said nothing but praise about it. There have been class plays and class plays but the one presented on Friday evening at the spacious gymnasium at the Township High School is generally conceded to be the best ever given by any Senior class of this school. Not only was the play enjoyed by all, but also the selections by the lligh School orchestra and the solo, Sweet and low, which was sung by Millie Phelps. lt is the wish of the Senior class to thank these people who Tm: CAs'r helped make the program complete and also the coach Miss llatiuner whose untiring efforts and long hours of coaching eaeh day made the play what it was.

The different classes issued their class papers which gave an account of the past happenings and which also contained jokes. The various classes and also the teachers with groups of students gave interesting programs consisting of short dialogues, instrumental selections, vocal solos, readings, etc. We wish to thank the faculty for bringing before us some very well known men. A very interesting lecture was given to us by a missionary who had been working in Africa but who was at present visiting in America. He told some very thrilling stories of his experiences abroad. Another beneficial talk was given by a native of Japan who came to America for higher education. He said that we do not realize how thankful we ought to be for living in this country and not in Japan or China. The thing that appealed to lllwl most in America was how woman was held so high in the estimation of the people and not scorned and looked down upon as in his native country. Anong the several other rsen who spoke were, Dr. E. P. Cook, who gave a fine patriotic address on Washington's Birthday, Rev. Dack, who gave a splendid talk on Lincoln, and George Harris, a graduate of '17, who gave a reading entitled, The Man Who Knew Lincoln. Rev. Gasaway talked on Play the Game and Dr. Edgar Cook on Education Another treat the M. T. ll. S. had was several musical selections on the piano by Mr. liatzwinkle. It is certain that t.hese programs have been of great value to every one, and have been both educational and interesting. It was always with great pleasure that we looked forward to the day when a program was to be given. Fifty-six 'ld HILL V FIJ 11 - 1, x 3 f2i5' I.. in . 'U xx hu lied?

The class consists of eight girls, who have had one year of cooking before this year. They are taught the proper serving of meals and the composi- tion of foods. They have been fortunate enough to have a dining room added to the department. This room is large enough to seat. ten comfortably. The furniture is black walnut in the Queen Anne style and consists of table and chairs and buffet. The room is decorated and is very homelike which makes it more inviting. Each girl is responsible for some meal served in the dining room, doing the shopping for it, and also is to act as the hostess at the meal. She appoints the duties to the girls in the kitchen and also picks two girls to do the serving, usually one or two guests are asked to attend the dinner or luncheon. Thfs meal is usually on Thursday. The laundry is one of the very best of its kind and is furnished with all of the necessary paraphernalia of a first class home laundry. This includes an electric washing machine, electric mangle, electric iron, soap-stone tubs, etc. A special fan device for drawing off the vapor is a feature of this up-to-date room. The seats in the study hall have been numbered as have the class room doors. This has been a great help to the Freshmen. We feel that the new cinder track has been a help to us in our track work. The Board deserves a vote of thanks for its part in building it. The new drinking fountain on the field has also helped. The painting of the Cafeteria tables by the Art Department reflects great credit upon all concerned. The splendid rotary maps which have been added to the History equip- ment have increased the efficiency of work in this department. Our superin- tendent surely knows how to equip a building. The many excellent books placed in the library this year were selected by Mr. Hanna and Miss Haffner. 'We have all enjoyed them. The new piano in the gymnasium is a dandy and saves moving the heavy ones. Twelve new typewriters have been installed in that department during the past year. With several hundred dollars worth of apparatus new this year, our Physics, Chemical and Agricultural Laboratories are now second to none.

Sixty-om' f'f 3l'1m U The miles are many and so are the years over iii which memory travels to the days spent in the old G M ir ' it endota school. Alfgnqiv A 4q g p b ,L As I seek to recall something of the experiences A' .ffwtsbll N of those days there stands out most vividly the per- Y' -' f sonality of our principal, Joseph Reece MacGregor. L Q -s y . 1 ' V4 , , SP :ii- v ' As my acquaintance with school workers has extend- ' 4- X., ?,'p1.if. ed, I have increasingly realized that Mr. MacGregor, 'L' both as instructor and supervisor was a man of un- , e usual ability. To him belongs the honor of inau- gurating public school graduation in Mendota, our class being the first to thus complete public school Work going out from the East Mendota school on the sixth of June 1876. 7 Though at graduation our class was composed of girls only we had not always been unsupported by the stronger sex. Up to and during part of the last year, Harry Andress, Fayette Lilly and Samuel Fernberg had been mem- bers of the class and I gratefully remember with what gracious efficiency those boys assisted us when we got all tangled up in the intricacies of bookkeeping. They were natural accountants and had no trouble in making things balance. VVe were a fairly studious group of young people. As a class we most enjoyed our work in literature which was based largely upon Cathcart's Literary Reader, a volume much respected by many of the older graduates and placed among their treasured possessions. I am sure that the young stu- dents of to-day would wisely refuse to learn the zoologieal classifications that we laboriously memorized, the only profit thereof being equipment for exam- ination and a bit. of memory strengthening. NVe had an especially good song book from which we sang. By dint of imagining l can hear the strains of Paddle Your Own Canoe and Rain On the Roof as we sang them under Mr. MacGregor's leadership. We had no specialist in music in those days but our principal possessed a good voice and considerable knowledge of music thus making this part of our daily program very much worth while. I recall that during one of the later winters of our school life we held a series of entertainments, the platform across the north end of the High School room which was then the entire upper tioor of Lincoln school building, atford- ing a very convenient stage for the display of our dramatic and oratorical talents. 'We attempted debates and one of the most hotly contested was upon the question, Resolved: That more misery is caused by Intemperance than by XVar. Our commencement exercises were of the simplest as pioneer undertakings Sixty-two E' are apt to be. But I can still feel that sense of importance and aloofness from all every day matters that possessed us upon that day of days. We wandered about the school building and grounds as beings apart from all ordinary mor- tals. Rev. W. H. Smith of the Methodist Episcopal Church gave the gradua- tion address, Principal William Jenkins of Blackstone school spoke, and each member of the class had part in the program. The first Alumni Association of the East Mendota High School was organ- ized in 1879 and we held our first reunion in the room now occupied by Lin- coln seventh grade, the banquet being served in the adjoining recitation room. Electric lights being then a thing of the future, we borrowed lamps from the old Free Will Baptist church since remodeled and occupied as a home by Mr. Geo. W. Edwards. Possibly the most thrilling moment of the evening was when one of those lamps commenced to viciously sputter and flare and Mr. MacGregor seized and threw it into outer darkness. The members of that first graduating class so closely associated during those long ago days, are widely separated now, one residing in Pennsylvania, one in Kansas, o11e in Iowa, one in Oklahoma, one in Illinois, one in Vermont, and one has passed into the Great Beyond. Alice B. Browne. Wilmington, Vt. Class of '80 The first graduation of pupils from the Mendota high schools, was from the east side in 1876. This was a class of seven girls. The west side did not hold graduation exercises until 1879. Their first class was also seven in num- ber, three boys and four girls. My class was the second to go out from Blackstone, and was different in one way at least, from any other that has ever been graduated. It consisted of twelve girls and one boy. The boy Edmund S. Cummings, a lawyer now in Chicago, was driven to his profession we always thought, by having to main- tain himself against the arguments of twelve girls. Four of the girls Mrs. Claire Harris Edgecomb, Mrs. Olive Lee Smith, Katherine V. Hiermcier and Eveline C. Woods have passed into the great beyond. Josephine M. Jordan is in California teaching in the George Jr. Republic school at Chino. Caroline Scott is a Christian Science Healer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Martha Scott is in Oak Park, Mrs. Margaret Porter Bradley is in Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. Alice Woodbridge Wirt is in Cleveland, Ohio, Sarah Himmel, the last we heard from her, had married and gone on a trip to Ireland. Sarah Peart and myself are citizens of Mendota. None of us has attained international fame, as our class valedictorian thought we were destined to do, all of us however have lived lives of moderate success, happiness and usefulness. Sixty-three Hncyclopardias and the dictionary were the li ain reference books in those days, but their use taught us the dictionary habit, and the advantage of gath- ering information to supplencnt the facts given in the text books. That was the beginning of the present extensive use of lib.aries in the schools. Such organizations as the band and glee club, had yet to rake a start. The girls never went to domestic science or cooking classes, and no hot lunches were ever served at school. for there were no vocational classes in our day. Athletics played no part in the school life and We had very little elective work. The personality of the teachers rreant 11 ore to the pupil than any course of the school. Their decisions in natters of right and wrong and our love and respect for them, formed a strong moral force which has followed us to this day. The smaller classes permitted a personal relation between teacher and pupil which is more difficult to establish in larger classes. There are no old graduates who are not interested still to hear of the constant etfort of those in charge of our present schools to adjust the work to the changing need of the times. We are proud of the inheritance that our children and grandchildren have fallen heir tog grateful that the privilege was ours to help n'ake the schools what they are, and glad to know that progress from now on, must be steadily onward and upward. VVinifrcd McKeen Crandall, - Class of '80. Class of '90 As my thoughts go back to the class of 1890 I can but marvel at the changes time has wrought in the idea of a High School education. At. that time the pupil who had acquired an eighth grade education was considered fairly well equipped in knowledge . To many, the then three years of high school looked like a life sentence and few from choice or necessity made bold to enter its portals. Thus the class of 1890 lost the inspiration of numbers. Of the four pupils who entered only three remained to the end of the game. Harrison Henry left during the first year to attend Oberlin College and there remained in the class Clara Lou Adams now Mrs. Hall of Chicago, Fred W. Stevens, now a pronzinent doctor in La Grange, Ill., and myself. CI can hear Fred say now, Of course they both had to be girls and at that both had to be called by the same name. j High school in those days meant much work and little play. Athletics and social affairs were not approved, declamatory contests a11d class plays considered a waste of time. At graduation we looked with fear and trembling upon our first appearance in public and in honor of the event even the school Siavty-fou r jf?-l!f,Wfll'!l Q I hoard waxed wasteful and we were escorted in a carriage to the commence- ment Ilall. To-day, what ,a change- The taxi has ousted the faithful old bob sleigh. The old fashioned lunch :basket that our mothers were artists at packing has given way to the cafeteria and in place of a cold lunch the students have access to a regular three- reeled dinner, from soup and salad to several desserts. The graduation dress so wonderfully and fearfully created is replaced by the simple dress or cap and gown. To-day the athletics and declamatory contests, the class plays and last but not least the High school dance all combine to add profit and pleasure and to keep Jack and Jill also from being a dull student. We congratulate you students of the M. T. H. S. We are glad that you have so much of that which did not fall to our lot and we want you to enjoy it all to the fullest extent. And yet, I smile as I wonder what our staid and respected Prof. Jenkins, our Nettie D. Kimberlin and others on the teachers board would have thought had the boys of that day appeared in class dressed up to the minute or the girls resplendent in middies and muffs and powder puffs. Members of the class of 1890 I say to you both, Alas we were born too soon. Neverthless, primitive, plain, old Blackstone, you have given us many happy memories and although put in the back ground by a progressive age we can say of thee as of no other- Thou art beautiful for situation for thou art built within the city walls. Clara B. Goodwin. Class of I 900 Eighty years less than a century ago there occurred an event which has changed the world's history-or at least a part of it. As soon as its real import is understood, perhaps a new chapter will be added to Creasy's De- cisive Battles of the World. That event was the graduation of the class of '00 or naughty naught,-when this class, after the struggle and stratagem of many years, won its way out into the world and into a new century. Who does not remember what fine teachers we had! And how the super- intendent said we were the best class ever graduated! tOf course we discov- ered later that the same was said to each elass.D How we did enjoy planning and planning all spring for the picnic we didn't have,-all on account of the boys. u Who does not recall the time in physics class when Mr. Foster asked for the definition of box as used in machinery and one girl promptly answered, The place where the tools are kept. And the time Miss Purkhiser had us improve the diction of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star something like this: Sixty-five Scintillate, scintillate, diminutive radiating stellular asterisk, An unprecedented astonishment induces me to speculate concerning your composition, Elevated to such extreme loftiness in relation to the terrestrial habitation of mortals Counterpart of carbonized isometric crystals, effulgent luminosity in the iirmament! When this class were Freshmen, it was the largest Freshmen class for many years, and it was with regret we saw one after another leave us, until at last there were but twelve to graduate. These twelve wrote and learned elaborate essays, and recited them in the old opera house where our friends were gathered to see us get our diplomas. Just to look at these diplomas, -which are filled in with our names in Mr. Foster's best printing, takes us' back in imagination to the old school days. After commencement, some went to college and some went directly to work. At present, beside three members deceased, one is a doctor at Stevens, Minnesota, one is a farmer near Mendota, one is a painter in our midst,-but not of portraits and landscapes, rather of plows and bird houses. One is a photographer at Rantoul and comes through our city in his touring car each summer, two girls are teachers, one, a kindergartner of first rank in Nebraska, the other a teacher of advanced studies in California. One girl is married and lives in Chicago, two girls are married and are trying to cook and scrub in a classical way here in Mendota. And none forget the year 1900! Grace Wright. Class of 1911 No period during the history of the Mendota High Schools, has witnessed such a transformation as that of the last decade. Since 1875, when East Mendota looked with pride upon her first alumni, and three years later, the West Side claimed a similar honor, the two high schools have been separated, thereby losing much of the spirit of loyalty, co-operation and community up- lift, so clearly manifested in our high school to-day. For many years a spirit of rivalry in athletics and scholarship had existed between the two schools. During the winter of 1910-1911 the school boards had a joint meeting, deciding to cast aside past prejudices and opinions and consolidate the two school districts of Mendota. The following September, the members of the East and NVest Side High Schools, about 100 in number, assembled together in the Blackstone School for the first time in history. This consolidation was looked upon with fear and apprehension by many of the Sixty-sim W ,,,,- pupils and citizens, but in a remarkably short time the two factions were firmly united in bonds of loyalty and good-fellowship which have ever been characteristic of the institution. The Senior Class of 1911, of which the writer is proud to be a member, undertook the publication of the first high school annual. After many weeks of scepticism as to the final result of the undertaking, the staff offered for our perusal, The Atodnemf' On June 11, 1911, the first commencement exercises of the Mendota High School, were held at the Opera House. Dr. John W. Cook, late of De Kalb Normal School, delivered the address of the evening while the President of the Board, C. E. Bates, presented diplomas to sixteen graduates, all of whom are still living and a credit to their Alma Mater. The enrollment of the school showed a steady increase for the next few years, until the available space in the Blackstone School was inadequate to permit efficient work. Then did visions of a separate high school building begin to rise out of the future although still very indistinct. Duringt1917 the question of the site and erection of a new high school building were freely discussed by every citizen of Mendota, all of whom real- ized the great necessity sfor such a structure. After much discussion, the people of Mendota, manifesting their spirit of progress voted to have a township high school on the site formerly occupied by the Advent College. The erection of the building was soon begun and by the close of the summer of 1917, Mendota was proud to claim the institution where her young men and women have equal opportunities for preparation to live the life that tells. The edifice is modern and up-to-date in every respect, having a splendid cooking laboratory, art room, sewing, millinery and agricultural departments, gymnasium and assembly room, in addition to the numerous class rooms and offices. Much of the credit of the success of the work is due to the late Geo. D. Tower, under whose able administration the splendid building was erected and equipped. The class of 1918 have the honor of being the first to graduate from the new high school. Although the population of Mendota has not shown a very decided increase during the last fifty years, still the number of pupils who graduate every year is fully double that of preceding years. We look with pride upon the interest students are taking in the declam- atory work, music, domestic science, art, agriculture business and athletics. We feel sure they will be much better prepared for life 's school, than we, who have not had the excellent opportunities offered by such a fine institution. May each and every graduate who has left or will leave the Mendota High School in the years to come, be prepared to pay his debt to the citizens of Mendota, by living a life of service and good citizenship, exemplified by his teachers.

Many of the members are at- tending college and are doing well. We will mention a few just to show you what our High School can turn out. Rudolph Anschicks of the class of 1913 is doing post graduate work in Chi- cago University preparing to become a private secretary to Maurice Rosen- wald. Miss Marie Bailey, member of the class of 1917, is a kindergarten teacher of Mishawaka, Indiana. Miw Irene Bower of LaMoille a member of the class of 1917 is attending Knox College. Recently she received honorable mention from the faculty of that col- lege, as being the highest ranking student in the freshman class during the first semester of the school year of 1920. Frank Breaw, a member of- the class of 1919 is attending Morningside College at Sioux City, Iowa. Frank was appointed a member of the Collegian Reporter Staff. He was also placed on a debating team and did excellent work as we know he always does. Sixty-eight Y Harold Collins, another member of the class of 1919 is attending the Univer- sity of Illinois. He is doing exceptionally well in his work and is permitted to carry five studies although four is the average schedule for a freshman. Miss Hazel Hurd, of the class of 1918, is a member of the graduating class of 1920 of the Chicago Kindergarten school. Gilbert Klinefelter, a member of the class of 1919 was elected secretary of the Alumni Association. . Gladys Lamberton of the class of 1918 was elected vice-president of the Alumni Association. Robert Nauman, a member of the class of 1916, who is attending the Northwestern College at Naperville, is a member of the 1920 graduation class. Miss Clara Powell of the class of 1919 is attending Illinois Women's College at Jacksonville. Clara was elected captain of the hockey team early in the fall of 1919 and was also a member of the College orchestra. On Monday evening Dec. 29, 1919, the Mendota Alumni Association gave a dancing party in the gymnasium of the High School. At eight o'elock a. pro- gram was given which consisted of three vaudeville acts and a dancing fete by Miss Eckart of Detroit, Michigan, and Elbridge McIntyre of Mendota. Wil- liams' orchestra furnished the music and the dancing continued until midnight. The High School students were invited to the party and many of them attended. This was the first mid-year party given by the Alumni Association, and it was highly appreciated by the High School students. K - 5' 'Wt 1' J Sixty-nine 'N L Seventy A Poetic Tragedy On the 25th of October, I In the fall of nineteen nineteen, A number of faithful rooters, Accompanied the Mendota team. Out on the field came our purple band, Greeted by many a cheer and hand, They ran their signal without a sound, Determined to see Spring Valley downed. With a dance and grin out came Hall, Prancing and singing with a parasol, They didn't even kick the ball, And thot only of Mendota's fall. The whistle blew and the battle was on, Every man fought with purpose grim, While the side-lines cheered their battle song And each girl tried to encourage HIM. In vain Hall bucked and ragged and fought, And plugged and slugged and swore. Try as they would in spite of all, They were unable to make a score. With smash and pass and punt and fake, Mendota made Hall see her mistake. Spenader made a kick or two, And things to Hall looked mighty blue. Bates and Horn were in battling form, Our line was strong and true, Old Cap Momeny held his own, And Dick received a pass or two. We've beat them twice and that 's not all, VVe can do it again next fall, We'll send them back to Hall, you bet, With nothing but sorrow and regret.

There was a good attendance for the first game, fully six hundred being present. The game was called at 3:00 o'clock and as the teams trotted out on to the field, both were cheered by their respective admirers. The home boys made a fine show- ing in their new purple sweaters. Along toward the end of the game, Coach Jack seeing that Mendota was going to win easily, sent in a number of sub- stitutes and gave them an opportunity of showing their ability under fire. The Mendota team suffered their first defeat of the season Oct. 4 in the contest with the fast La Salle-Peru team. Our boys did not show up so well in team work, seeming unable to concentrate their attack. Being the second game these defects were soon remedied however. La Salle-Peru won on their merits. They showed evidence of their long serious hours of practice. Mendota High won from Princeton on Oct. 11 by a score of 31 to 0. The home team showed that they had a team capable of playing a far better brand of football than they showed when playing against La Salle-Peru the previous week. Our boys went into the game with a Pep that from the moment the first whistle blew, swept the Princeton players off their feet. The ball was in Mendota 's possession nearly all of the time, Princeton struggling to beat off the terrific line plunge of our speedy back field. Honors of the game were equally divided among our players, while Prineeton's fullback seemed to be their star. Mendota High won one of its most important games when they defeated the fast Spring Valley team by a score of 6 to 0. The game was fiercely con- tested throughout, neither team being able to put over a touchdown. The deciding score was made during the third and fourth quarters when quarter- back Smith finding that he was unable to gain through Spring Valley's line, called on Spenader for a drop kick and Spenader delivered the goods. The game ended with a score 6 to 0 in favor of Mendota. The particular star for Spring Valley was their left half back. For Mendota Bates, Momeny, Ester- day, Nieman, Gorman and Spenader did great work. Saturday Nov. lst Mendota won from the Galva team which had only been beaten once this year and then by Kewanee which has one of the best teams in this part of the state. The game ended with a score of 33 to 7. Mendota again scored a victory in football and this time they won over the heavy Dixon bunch which at first sight looked as if they could fairly eat up Mendota and they came here with fire in their eyes. When the visitors Seventy-four 11, . - UW ' arrived in town they passed out the news that they-expected to play for blood because they remembered the walloping they received at the hands of Men- dota last year and were so anxious to get revenge. They outweighed our team about 20 pounds and had beaten, several of the best teams in the state. Boots was back in the game after several week 's absence on account of in- juries received in the Princeton game. He showed up in his old form during the battle. Neither team was able to score a touch down and in the second quarter Spinny was given a chance at another Spenader Special drop kick and he made good. This made the score 3 to 0 which it remained throughout the entire game and was the final score. On Saturday, Nov. 15th, Mendota won its sixth victory when it de- feated Sterling by a score of 45 to 0. The Sterling boys knew they were up against a hard proposition before the game started but they tried to make themselves believe they were going to win anyway. They soon changed their minds however. Nieman had his knee injured during the game. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving the Mendota boys journeyed to Mooseheart to meet the fast aggregation from that institution. They were surely a fast bunch of players and showed the effects of the strenuous practice they went through every day. They beat East Aurora a few weeks before this. Mendota went into the game with lots of pep and surely played the game. They held like a stonewall against the team that outweighed them by quite a few pounds. The only score that was made during the game was made by Mooseheart on a fumble. The game ended with a score of 7 to 0 in favor of Mooseheart. Our boys felt greatly elated over holding the speedy bunch of players to such a small score. Mendota High won the Thanksgiving football game over Streator, a promising candidate for the county championship. It was a good game throughout and pleased all. It was a closer game than the score would in- dicate-27 to 6. Each member of the team played good consistent football against a team which was much heavier. There is no question about Mendota team being a real football team. Streator's only score was made on a fumble. The members of the Mendota band were on the side lines and before the game and during intermissions furnished music. All of Mendota's team deserve much credit for this game because they were playing under several difficulties. The weather man was surely against them that day. The day was dreary and cold and the ground which was frozen was covered with a light blanket of snow which made it very disagreeable but for all of that the boys surely played the game and showed that they were made of the right stuff. S 6'U61Lty-H178 Screw ty-si.1' JACK The line looking man, whose picture appears op- posite is C. L. Jack, coach for the past two years. He has developed the best foot ball team M. T. H. S. has ever had. Mr. .Tack has the entire contidence and respect of every man on the team for he de- livers the goods. He knows football and understands boys. XVho couldn't go out and win games with a. coach like Jack? He is all there and we are with him to the last man. Glad that he will be among' us again next year. GLENN MOMENY-Fullback Captain Momeny leaves a vacancy at full back that will he hard to fill. His passing was accuratc and consistent and his defense broke up many plays. Glenn's work was a wall of strength to his team mates which insures him a permanent place in the memories of his fellow students. ELMER BEITSCH-Left Guard Bill, always a gentleman on and off the field, will no doubt be missed next season. Always reliable and capable he filled his position at guard successfully. His spirit was characteristic of the 1919 fighting machine. ROLLAND BATES-Rlght Half Back Bates proved his worth in the back field. NVhen running with the ball or hitting the line he was al- ways sure to net a gain, He was a big factor in the scores of the year and although handicapped by in- juries, he always came out on top and held up his end of the game. HERMAN ESTERDAY-Left Half Back Herman with a world of speed was good on carrying the hall on end runs. His get-away was quick and many were the times that he broke through for a. long gain. He will no doubt be a. big factor on next year's team. HAROLD POTTE R-Half Back Potter played at half back and tackle in several games and showed good football ability, He is fast on his feet and a hard fighter. VVith a year's experience we no doubt will see Harold a regular back field man. ROBERT CUMMINGS-Quarter Back Bob at quarter showed up well, but due to in- juries was not at his best the latter part of the season. He was a hard worker and ran back punts with good speed and judgment. HARRY KAUFMAN-Tackle Harry, while not a regular, fllled in at tackle well. He gave every bit of strength he had and opened the way to many a gain. His chance for a regular posi- tion next year wiLl be a strong one. LEROY FABER-Right End Seldom do we see an end that has the football abil- ity that Boots possessed. He had a happy faculty of being able either to shift through or smash the interference as the occasion demanded. Such qualities and spirit as he possessed are ideal for a football player. COURTNEY NIEMAN-Center Captain-elect Nieman as a leader for the 1920 team, is a man of which Mendota will be proud. He is a demon on defense and a real punter. He not only possessed the fighting qualities himself but he in- stilled his fighting spirit into the entire team. He bids fair to head one of the best teams Mendota has ever had. S even t y-seven, DEAN O'NElLL-Flight Guard Dean possessing that grim determination and fight that fears nothing, developed into a valuable player of the 1919 squad. He understood the game and played it well. He will leave a vacancy which will be hard to fill, JOSEPH SMITH-Quarter Back Dick at quarter proved a find of the season. A good Held general and alert to pick the weak points of the opposing team. He has a bright future on the grid- iron and all will be glad to see Dick in uniform next fall. GILBERT BLOTCH-Right Tackle Louie playing his first year of football proved to be one of the finds of the season. Many times he plunged through and broke up a play before it was well started. He will be a great asset to the team nm-xt year. WILLIAM GORMAN-Left End Bill was not made very big but what he lacked in weight he made up for with a brand of good. clean, non-shrinkable fight. His sure tackling saved many a game for Mendota. He will be long remem- bered for his touch down, after receiving a forward pass in thee Streator game. hfl.-1 Q , f ,X ' 1 , r .1,, .

A. C., Eighty-one Basket Ball The basket ball season was a great success, due to the fine qualities of the coach, and to the co-operation of the players. The team won nine games out of fifteen, and lost the others by only a few points. The first game of the season was played at Tonica, Mendota losing by one point. This game showed up some of the weak places in the team, and they were remedied during the next week, so that when the team met Paw Paw, Tiskilwa and Sterling the scores showed decisive victories for Mendota. The team then went to Dixon. Although neither team played its best during the first half Dixon was leading by three points at its end. The second half our team returned with determination written on their faces, but the Dixon players returned looking just as determined. Mendota was soon ahead, but toward thc end of the game a few long ringers brought up Dixon,s score, and a half minute before the finish of the game they dropped in another basket. The game ended with Dixon winning by one point. On the following Friday the team won an easy victory over Marseilles. The team then went to Minonk and, because of several handicaps, was beaten by eleven points. This was the worst defeat of the season. Mendota showed her sticking qualities in the return game with Dixon. Mendota was beaten the first half, but the boys returned and beat Dixon by ten points. The first and only defeat the team received on its own floor was given by Rollo, the winning basket being made but a minute before the close of the game. Marseilles received another defeat on its own floor by the Mendota Five. The two games which followed ended up the season in fine shape. The game with Tiskilwa ended with Mendota far in the lead, and Mendota beat Minonk the same 11umber of points that the winners of the tournament at Peoria beat them. On the night of the game with the M. A. C.'s the gym. was crowded. There were rooters for both teams. The score at the end of the first half was ten to ten. The second half showed the superior training and better wind of the high school team. The game ended in a victory for our team. Although Mendota High School is noted for its fine football team and football is its main sport, basket ball is gradually coming to the front. Each game of the season showed an increase in the number of spectators. If this interest is shown next year, and we have as good a coach as Mr. Dolan, we can be sure of another winning team. Eigh ty-two DOLAN To Mr. J. L. Dolan, Jim, when he is not present, we owe the greater part of the success achieved by the basket-ball flve during the year just past. Taking' a bunch of green boys and making of them a smooth running, well oiled machine is no slight trick, but Coach Dolan did just that for us. We are very sorry that he will not be with us another year as he has won a big place in the hearts of all by the efficient manner in which he has conducted athletics at M. T. H. S., for ln ad- dition to basket-ball, coach, he has acted as Busi- ness Manager for all athletics. BATES-Forward Captain. Probably the best basketball player that ever represented Mendota High. He knows the game from A to Z. He is fast, shitty and is a. world of strength on offense. I-Ie was Mendota's chief scoring cog throughout the season and always could be found wherever the ball was. We look for more of his bas- ketball prowess in college SMITH-Forward A fast, shifty, little man, always able bo elude his guards and drop in a ringer now and then. The tow'n team thought they could cover him up: I-Ia! Ha! Dick was like the ,Irlshman's flea-he wasn't where they thought he was. KUTTER-Guard His first season ln basketball, nevertheless he gave a good account of himself wherever sent to play. I-Ie has lots of drive and was always in the mix-up around Mendota's basket. Eighty-three Eig I1 ty-four BLOTCH-Center He developed into one of the best centers we have ever had: tall, rangy, with a. good eye for the basket. He never tried Hgrandstand stuff, always willing to make a pass and let his teammate make the basket. He could stand a. world of punishment, and give a. whole lot too. l BEITSCH-Guard Ass the season advanced, Bill improved with every game. Some of the boys thought Bill was a Swede, but the way he took the tip off at center reminds one of a. German drive. He is a fast, heady player, and de- fended Mendota's basket in a superb manner. MCINTYRE-Guard He was a bear at guarding when hitting on all s1x. Our opponents' forwards all know that Mac. can rough 'em up. And he can shoot a. basket now and then.

Eighty-five TRACK TEAM Track This year being our first attempt at track, it could not be expected to be a banner year. Still we may justly call it a success. The first meet was between .Mendota High and Sandwich High. The meet was won by Mendota by a score of 51 2f3 to 47 1,f3. These results show that although most of the men were inexperienced we could count on a good team. The points won are as follows: Esterday .................... ........... 1 8 Gilmore ........ .........,. 1 6 Bates ......... ....,,,.... 9 1f3 Potter ...... .,......,.. 4 Smith .............. ........... 2 McIntyre ........., ........... 1 1,'3 Buck .................l................................ ........... 1 Total for Mendota ...,v.............................,... ........... 5 1 2X3 The second meet was held with Paw Paw. The score showed a decided victory for Mendota. It also showed what one week of good hard training will do for inexperienced men. The winners for Mendota were: Gilmore ......l.. ............ 2 1 Bates ............... ............ 1 6 Esterday ........ ............ 1 4 Smith .......,.... ............ 8 Beitsch ......... ............ 6 Buck ............... .........,.. 4 Williams ........................... ...,.,...... 1 Total, Mendota ............ ............ 7 0 Total, Paw Paw ........................................ . .... ............ 3 8 The following Friday the team went to LaSalle where they participated in the Illinois Valley High School track meet. Mendota took second place in the entire meet and second in the relay, which was the big feature of the day. The members of the team brought home five medals. One gold one won by Gilmore in the 120 yd. hurdles. A silver medal won by Beitseh who took second place in the mile. Three bronze medals won by Bates, Esterday and Gilmore. Eighty-seven The score winners for Mendota were:- Bruce Gilmore ...............,.,......,,,....,..,.,, ,,,,A,,,,,, 8 Elmer Beitsch ........ ........... 3 Rolland Bates ..,......,,....... .....,..... 2 112 Herman Esterday ,........ ........... 2 Half Mile Relay- Gilmore Bates Esterday Blotch ...,,... .,,,,,,,,,, 3 Total .....,....,...,.,.......................................,............,..,. ,,,,,,,.,,. 1 8 1f2 The next week the team went to McNabb and met the fast team there. On account of the roads it was about four o'clock before they got there, so the meet had to be hurried thru. Mendota was defeated here by ten points. The Mendota boys did not get to going until the latter part of the meet when they pulled up in very good shape. Gilmore and McIntyre were the best scorers for Mendota at this meet.. Altho beaten the boys came away with a feeling of having had a mighty good meet, for the bovs from McNabb proved themselves to be fine sports, giving Mendota a gcozl sfuare deal all around. , The following week the seniors challenged the under classmen to a dual track meet. The challenge was accepted. The seniors were victorious. The score was, seniors 74 2f3, underclassmen 41 1f3. The meet was well attended and there was some real lively rooting. Gilmore was the seniors best score. There is one man on the Mendota T. H. School track team who deserves all of the credit that can be given him. You will always iind him practicing in his spare moments and he always shows great enthusiasm for all track events. We think that the school can be proud of a player who won the most points and honors for his school on the track. We think that Gilmore is one of the best men Mendota will ever have.

Paul Walter won the first prize for last year's art work, his exhibit being a lamp. Edith Shaw's lamp exhibited by Alma Shaw won the second prize. An Appreciation The success of the Annual of '20 beyond doubt lies in the editorial staff, the Senior Class, and the school as a whole. But no one will contradict the fact that Mr. Snapp is the person who made it a genuine success. He spent many tedious hours with the staff making plans and assembling material for the annual. Because of the work he has done the 1..e1..be. s of the Senior Class wish to extend their thanks and appreciation. E igh. ty-nine Mendota Boy Wins Honors Herbert Crisler, a former member of our school who graduated with the class of '17, is achieving much success in athletics at the University of Chicago. Hub as he is best known by his friends and members of the school, played end on the football team last fall. As soon as football was over, he started playing basketball and was successful in getting the position of guard. The University of Chicago basketball team won the Big Ten title this year and Hub has been selected by his team mates to captain next year's five. At the present time he is with the baseball team which is making a tour of the Orient, as pitcher. The Mendota Township High School is certainly proud of the record Hub has made and as he is only a Junior we are looking for- ward to a greater record next year. The Trials of a Foot Ball Player I've a blister on me heel, and me backs begun to peel, I've an ache for every bone that's in me back, I've a feeling I could eat rubber hose and call it sweetg And me hands is warped from lugging bits of track And me clothes they are tore, and me shoulders they are sore, And I sometimes wish that I had died a borning, And me eye is full of dirt and there 's gravel in me shirt, But we came back to High School this morning.

The Closing Exercises Commencement Day, that day of days toward which the graduates have been looking during the past four years, is fast approaching and ere the ink upon this page is dry will have came and gone. Another group of optimistic girls and boys will have passed through the formalities of graduation and entered upon the business of living-apart from the tutorage of conscientious instructors. Never until the last few weeks, the last few days in fact, have these girls and boys fully appreciated what the school, as an institution, has done for them, and not until now have they realized that the joys of casting up the anchor, would be tempered with sadness and regrets. They will miss the old building, the class rooms, the faces of class-mates and teachers. The sentiment of every member of the class of 1920 is, that each girl and each boy may be a credit to his Alma Mater, and that as the years go by they may ever maintain their loyalty for M. T. H. S. The program follows: Sunday Evening. June 6, ...,,... ....,............ ,.... B a ccalaureate Sermon Tuesday ...............................,....,.............. ..........

Alumni Banquet and Dance The Baccalaureate Sermon was preached by Rev. R. T. Gasaway, pastor of the Baptist Church, and was a most excellent discourse, the sort of a talk young people appreciate. The Class Exercises will consist of the reading of Class Will , Proph- ecy , and other formalities customary upon such occasions. The Junior Class is making very elaborate preparations to entertain the Seniors and Faculty at a banquet and dance at the beautiful Kaskaskia Hotel at La Salle. They are leaving nothing undone to make this event equal in every respect to those which have been held in years past. The Commencement Address will be delivered by Dr. Conger of Knox College. Dr. Conger was formerly Mayor of the city of Galesburg and is known as being one of the very best speakers in the state. The diplomas will be presented by Mr. S. J. Haight, President of the Board of Education. The music for the program will be furnished by Miss Della Aschenbrenner, Miss Gertrude Schildberg and the Lippincott sisters.
