31n jHiniturmm We. the Senior Class of '30. dedicate this page in loving memory of our fellow classmate. 3lloliutet Foreword In the following pages we have endeavored to set aside a store room of happy memories to furnish supplies to us in our future years. If in the future you are ever blue or feel in the reminiscent mood, just go to the shelf, take down this copy of Illohmet and as though a magican had taken away the surplus years, you will again be back, only a student in dear old M C. H. S. You will be just the same irresponsible boy or girl that you are now, with your carefree ways, your youthful laugh ready to overflow at the slightest provocation, and with your youthful outlook upon life. The days of the past year are gone beyond recall They can be re-lived again only in memory. If this book furnishes the medium by which you can re-live those happy days of 1930, then our purpose will have been accomplished. 3UoI)imt Iliohmet Staff Editor-in-Chief ..... Associate Editor ....

C. H. S., one of the largest Freshman Classes that ever crashed the corridors of old M. C H. S. We ended a year of activity in a remarkable way, winning the Inter-Class Track Meet, a feat unusual for a first year class. The following year as Sophomores, we came a little more in to the lime light. We were well represented in football, basketball and track, again winning the Inter-Class Track Meet. We more than took part in everything that came our way, and at the end of the year, were qualified to distinquish ourselves as Juniors. Ahem! And then we embarked upon our Junior year—to many, a year nearly as eventful as our Senior year We supplied more than our quota for the football, basketball, and track teams, and again won the Inter-Class Track Meet (Getting to be quite a habit, this track affair.) The Junior Play, “Am I Intruding,” went over with a howl, showing our class possessed actors as well as athletes. And then came the Junior-Senior Reception, and what a Reception! (Even if we do say it ourselves.) Under Miss Steer’s guiding hand, the Lower Assembly was decorated beyond recognition. One of the prettiest scenes you ever saw. And what food! It will live in the memory of every Junior and Senior forever. After the Reception the Seniors were invited to a dance given by the Juniors, thus topping off a splendid evening. Finally, as we entered upon the fourth and last year of our High School life, most of us could not realize how much it has meant to us. Here we had formed friendships with classmates and teachers that will remain with us through life. This year both the football and basketball teams were captained by members of our class, “Red” Miller and Raymond Neff, respectively. “Anne What’s-Her-Name?” the Senior Class play, was presented in the new Gym with even more success than our Junior Play. We captured the interclass track meet (can you beat it?) for the fourth consecutive year, thus setting a record for future classes to shoot at. This is really a remarkable feat. We showed our appreciation to the school and the faculty by presenting the high school with a fine curtain for the stage in the new Gym, for the benefit of oncoming classes. 1 4 3Uol)met Will and Testament Before entering upon the voyages of life on the seas of the unknown future, we, the class of 1930, believing ourselves to be of a safe and sound mind, make our last will and testament. V e leave to the faculty our best wishes and hope that all their future classes will be as studious and well-behaved as ours has been. (?) To the class of ’31, we leave the privilege of setting good examples for the Freshmen. To the class of ’32, we leave Mr. Tripp to help them over the rugged edges of chemistry. To the class of ’33, we leave the hope that at some future date they may become Seniors. To the oncoming class of '34 we leave Mr. Finley to help them safely over the difficulties of Algebra. We leave Mr. Cochran to teach the principles of Community Science. We leave Mrs. Arensman to explain the mysteries of Latin so well that the exams will never need be taken, and at the close of the first year they can sav with ease and sincerely mean it. “Veni, vidi, vici.” I, Everett Jerk Rogers, being in sane and sober mind will to Howard Amos Morrow, my ability to throw paper wads when Mr. Finley’s back is turned.

Their purpose was to see personally, if possible, all the graduates of the class of ’30. This is the diary kept during the trip. At the landing field in New York, we asked an attendant to direct us to a hotel. He called a taxi and we were driven to the “Ritz.” We found to our surprise, that the owner was Jesse James. He was busily employed with managing his huge retinue of employees. As we were registering we noticed that the name just above ours was Dr. Kenneth Parks. We were in the elevator with him and learned that he had made a great success of his undertaking. The dinner, which, by the way. was planned by the dietician, Gladys Robbins, was a delightful one. We no longer wondered that Dr. Parks had chosen this particular hotel. , As we were wondering how we would spend the evening, a waiter brought us the card of Loren Cagle, asking if he might speak to us. We invited him to our table. He was now a great broker and had made a fortune. He invited us to be guests at the Follies that night, and we were delighted to accept He told us that we would be able to recognize three of the chorus girls. Leota Franklin. Ruth Adele Bess, and Sylvia Reid. It was rather late when we returned to the hotel and the attendant who showed us to our rooms was Everett Rodgers, who had been attracted by the bright lights of the city. The next morning we left for Boston. We had always anticipated the tasting of the famous Boston baked beans, and orded them at a large restaurant. The beans were more delicious than we had expected, and wishing to know the name of the chef, we questioned the head waitress, whom we soon recognized as Alma Kruger, who very competently filled her rosition. She told us that the chef was Dan Brandon, and the proprietor of the' restaurant was Paulina Oarlock. Alma escorted us to the door, but stopped to introduce us to two magnificently dressed ladies seated at one of the tables. They were Loretta Niekamp and Carolyn Haverkamp. who had made fortunes in oil holdings. They now spen- the greater part of their time in fashion shows reviewing the latest Paris modes. Mabel Schaffer and Genevra Spore were their favorite models. As the next day was Sunday, we attended a magnificent church. As the surpliced choir rose to sing, we noticed that the director was Kenneth Fulkerson Sitting near us was Mary Olive Crane, who was his greatest insoiration. One of the special music features was a bass solo by one of the best soloists of the day, John Mittendorf. „ T i . .. When the minister entered he locked ''’most angelic with the light from the stained glass windows making a halo of his red hair. Until he had begun his sermon, we did not realize that he was Hartley Wiseman. After the services we asked if we might interview him. We were taken into his studv. where he was waiting with his wife, the former Mignon Kotter. Thev informed us that spni£ of the members of the congregation were Elizabeth Mo’l. a famous writer: Virgil Schwegman and Margie, societv leaders: and Pavmond and Earl Loverkamo. managers of a branch of the Fcrd Company. The Ford car of 1950 was almost as luxurious in appearance as the J930 Rolls Royce By that time the exquisite music from the great pipe organ had ceased and the minister brought in the organist, Letha Mae Cummins. She told us of her cousin, Thomasine. who is now living abroad. Joe had built his bridge to fame. She also told us that Louvine Rehlmeyer was the world’s most famous journalist. But fame had not made Louvine vain. She goes down to the settlement houses in the slums every Tuesday and recites nursery rhymes to the slum children there When we were flying from Boston to Pittsburgh, one of the passengers of the plane was Estelle Redmeier. After her graduation, she had become neatly interested in astronomy and had recently made herself famous by the discovery n an Ai News” magazine, we found that Alice Kotter had just completed a non-stop air plane trip around the world. In Pittsburg, glaring bill boards greeted us. telling of the greatest circus in the world, owned by Everett Gillespie and Alan Park. We were determined to (Continued on next page.) 17 gUoljmt't miss nothing, so after a short rest, we were ready to attend the circus. The attention of the audience was centered on the clown who was the best we had ever seen. We inquired of one of the groundmen who told us that the clever person was William Trousdale. After the performance we met him, and found that not all clowns smile best when bearing the burden of a broken heart, for William seemed very happy, especially when talking of the beautiful acrobatic dancer. While we were talking, who should walk up but Edmund Lassiter. He had become a renowned veterinary and had been called to administer to the trick horse, which had a slight broncial trouble. In Cincinnati we felt that we would be refreshed by a facial, so we visited an expensive beauty salon, operated by Ethel Constance Moreland. An assistant said that she wan still fond of saxophone music. While we were waiting Doris Davis arrived in her limosine. She was now married to one of the wealthiest men of the citv. With her was an adorable little girl whom she had recently adopted through the influence of Doris Kidd, who was actively engaged in child welfare work. She mentioned Eva Mae who was a member of the smartest! societv set on Long Island. That evening, upon picking up the newspaper, we were greatly surprised to learn that Raymond Neff had just won the prize-fighting championship of the world. Our next flight landed us in Metropolis, but a Metropolis so changed from our memory of 1930, that we could never have recognized it. Of course, we were much interested in viewing the greatly enlarged high school. We were first taken to the office and presented to the principal. Mr. Louis Fitch. Four graduates of 1930 were employed in the school: Vivian Harding, teacher of mathematics; Iuta Kirkpatrick, Shorthand; Virgil Verbarg, Agriculture; and John William Schneeman. Coach. Earl Harrison was now the owner of the Harrison Chain of. Confectioneries, assisted by his able brother They catered to the younger and Hig i School sets of the city. The mayor of this progressive city was Kathleen Lassiter, who fed as important as Jimmie Walker. She had formed in Civics Class an ambition to show the opposite sex that the ladies would make as able politicians as they. She was entertaining with a dinner party in honor of the governor of the state, Mr. Howard Miner. The most flourishing newspaper was the “Metropolis Daily Record,” with Scott Hinners as editor-in-chief and Estelle Smith as society editor. The advertisements were excellent, representing new and varied ideas. We were told that the successful advertising manager was Henry Amos Goodall, unmarried, but still a ladies’ man. In the court news, we noticed that Gladys Keef. a designer, with Dorothy Lewis as her lawyer, was bringing suit against Howard Amlingmeyer, her employer, whose lawyer was Leonard Wilson, for the theft of her surplus inches. Robert Chase and J.Paul Neal were running a large men’s department store. Edna Bremer was employed as stenographer for the firm. We learned from friends, that Lucille Crow was happily established in a lovely home near Unionville, Beatrice Copley was managing a picturesque country inn, and Everett Kotter was the owner of a prosperous truck farm. In the Y W. C. A. Hall which had been newly erected, we learned that there was to be a convention of Girl’s 4-H Clubs of Southern Illinois, sponsored by Aline Kotter. In Salt Lake City, we met Edward Verbarg. the president of a great university. He was greatly enthused because his old friend, Paul Wehrmeyer, had just established a new world record for long distance running in spite of the younger athletes opposing him. Paul was keeping Virginia busy by supplying her constantly with new medals and trophies to keep polished. a new skyscraper was being erected on a prominent corner bv Howard Miller, whose reputation as an exceptional contractor had long been established. When we reached Sacramento, California, we arrived on the scene of a new movie which was being filmed. It was being directed by Alice Risinger and the star was Dorothy Brosi. Velma Cagle was employed in planning the interior decoration of the sum- (Continued on page 35) r 3Uol)mft Senior Play Cast Tho Senior plav, “Anne What’s-Her-Name?M directed by the Senior sponsor, M'ss Lawrence, was presented on May 21 to a capacity house.

Wh°n the real Ebenezer (Paul Wehrmeyer) arrived, Tony induced him to exchange clothes with him end Ebenezer was taken into the custody of the detective (William Trousdale) in place of Tony.

Proof that! the dancer had not been murdered released the true Ebenezer, and the identity of Tony was found. In the last scene Tony learned that his wife was Nancy, and he no longer had to ask “Anne What’s-Her-Name? Each character played exceptionally well the part assigned, and received much praise from the spectators. 19 4� Uoljmrt Junior Class President .................................................

C. H. S., there was organized this year a Hi-Y Club, which has for its slogan ‘Clean living, clean athletics and clean scholar ship.” The club held its meeting every Tuesday. A varied program of meetings kept them interesting. The boys at all times endeavored to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and communiy, high standards of Christian character. Delegates were sent to the “Older Bovs’ Conference” in Centralia the week of Thanksgiving vacation. Many points) of interest and value were brought back to the club. A basketball team of no small merit represented the Hi-Y in a number of games. One of the most interesting assembly programs of the year, consisting of a short play and music by the quartet was presented by the club. The quartet has been a valuable addition to many school functions. The Hi-Y members are leaders in many branches of school activities. Now that the club has become well founded, plans are being made to enlarge its usefulness for next year 24 3Uoljmet Hi- Tri League The Hi-Tri League was formed for the first time in M. C. H. H. this year. It was originally organized in the fall of 1925 by the Dean and girls of Mt Vernon Township High School. Through this organization the girls are able to express their loyalty to the school and the community in many ways. The platform of this organization embodies only the highest ideals. The League fosters a love for initiative and a SDirit of democracy. Through the daily contact and comoanionship of one another. in both school and social life, the girls are educated to meet one another on equal grounds. The members of the Hi-Tri must be qua.HPed to fill such an honorable position. The foundation upon which the League stands is made up of character, friendship, courtesy, pleasure and success. The League of M C. H. S. was divided into ten small groups for better opportunities of working systematically. Each grouo had a leader who worked with the sponsors. From each group some special project was set forth. The League left to the school a worthy remembrance. Near the last of the year, several girl?, together with the sponsors, attended conference of Hi-Tri Leagues at Harrisburg. Later Harrisburg was entertained here while the initiation ceremonies were carried out. The sponsors were Miss He’en Mason Steers, and Mrs. Perry Arensman.

Sponsored by Miss Gertrude Rew. the club was organized for the purpose, as stated in the constitution, of “uniting the Spanish Classes, of making Spanish more real to the members and of increasing their knowledge of Snanish things.” The club’s meetings were held on alternating Thursdays, These consisted of a business meeting followed bv a carefully planned, instructive, and interesting program given in Spanish. The charter members of the club came from the Spanish II class. Later members, after attaining the scholarship standard, were admitted from the Spanish I class. The members of the club have completed the translation of “Historia de Espana” by Romera-Navarro. The typed copy of this translation has been placed in the school’s library along with the text. A Mexican zarape, Spanish stamps, coins, and other realia have been secured as a start for a school Spanish museum The members of La Cuadrilla Sin Cuidad will long remember the pleasant and instructive sessions of the club. 26 3Uol)mct Booster Club President .................................................. George A. Wentzell Vice-President ..................................................... Raymond Neff Secretary and Treasuren....................................... Eva Mae Gillespie For the past few years there has been an organization in our High School which has been growing in importance until at present it is the largest and most active of all extra curricular bodies. This organization, The Booster Club, has just completed the most successful year of it’s whole history under the direction of Miss Gertrude Rew and B. H. Smith. In all there are 168 members in the club this year and out of these each class selects two boys and two girls, making a body of 16 members known as the active members, which bear the responsibility and transact all business. The Club boosts all school activities. especiaUy athletics, and is always ready to supply assembly programs when such is needed. At the beginning of the school year, the Ecosters gave a big ‘Get Acauainted” party, serving eats and enjoyment for the whole school. Each year this organization sells magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company and this year they were especially successful, by securing a bonus for selling a large number. The most successful event of the year was the Booster Club play, the first entertainment in the new Gym .entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking,” directed by Miss Rew. The proceeds of this play together with part of theij savings account was used to buy scenenry for the new stage. During the latter part of May. another big party was given to Booster Club members only and was equally as successful as the other functions sponsored by this organization. The Boosters boost. 27 —:gllol)mct= = ATHLETICS Football Summary The Red and White Football squad met a formidable array of opponents in 1929. The Red Devils were in action six times during the fall and two of these games were on the right side of the sport’s ledgei while one was a tie. Two of the setbacks were caused by two of the strongest teams in western Kentucky. The Ded Devils inaugurated the grid season at home where they faced Hurst-Bush. Metropolis was overwhelmed by the rather decisive score of 33-0. The next game with Cairo was a scoreless tie. Thanks to a wet field, Cairo was able to prevent Metropolis from winning. The first real indication ol’ the strength of the Metropolis team came on the following Saturday when the Red Devils met Vienna on Metropolis field. Vienna scored in the first half but Kenneth Parks intercepted a pass in the third quarter to tie the score. Inspired Gillespie made another touchdown to win 12-6. Both tries for point after touchdown failed. The next tilt with Mayfield proved to be a disastrous affair for Metropolis, Mayfield winnnig 39-0. Paducah came over to Metropolis for the first time in many years and administered another humiliating defeat. The score, 40-0, was the worst ever suffered from Paducah. Revenge was indeed sweet on Thanksgiving Day. when Metropolis defeated Vienna 13-0 on a snow covered field. This was the final game of the season. Howard Miller. Captain, ’30.

Metropolis winning 20-17. Four of the regulars on the last season’s basketball squad will graduate this spring. NefT proved to be the scoring ace of the teem Of the 517 points Metropolis scored against her opponents. Neff scored 3C7. Neff’s average for the 21 games was a little over 14 points per game. RAYMOND NEFF. CAPTAIN ’30 CENTER Captain Neff finished his four year basketball career for the Red and White in brilliant fashion. Equally gccd on the defense as well as the offense this six foot athlete was a constant threat to the enemy. Neff’s passing and floor-work were especially outstanding. He leaves a position which will be difficult to fill. ROBERT CHASE ’30 FORWARD Coolness, agressiveness, and fast breaking, all combined to make Bob’s first and last year on M. C. H S.’s basketball court a successful one. JOHN KING ’32 FORWARD Johnny was an excellent scorer of the 1929-30 team. A deadly shot made Johnny a dangerous mart from any angle on the floor, and his work under the basket was especially brilliant. KENNETH PARKS ’30 RUNNING GUARD “Kay was in every Red and White battle. His hobby was scoring long shots from the center 'of the floor in the last 2 seconds to win the game. The same determination which he displayed on the gridiron was carried over to the basketball court to a decided advantage.
