The 1917 -I xl ccMvv ' A Year-book Published by The Senior Class of Moline High School Volume V 1 w I 4 J + 9J 1 l f1 Foreword .Xfter the combined elforts of a Weary staff and numerous contributors, we have at last succeeded in publishing our year book, the 'chlfl Vile offer no apology for this monument of the time we have spent at the Nloline High School, and sincerely believe that an annual of interest, orginality, and ingenuity has resulted from our labors. However, as this is our initial and only opportunity for publishing such a volume, its merits and defects rnust stand as they are. Xlve have endeavored throughout to avoid producing a high flown edition with artificial tone, but have tried, We hope successfully, to portray a little of those indefinable things, school spirit and school life. 5 Il Nimrrzzm ll ll ssvfrvvszfv ll 91 f This volume is respectfully dedicated to julia Emma Gettemy' who has always given her' undivided attention and time to every activity she has ever' entered that would promote the best in- terests and Welfare of the students of Moline High School li f17 9 1 7 ,m, ., ,N A.-.3,fX-Npm , 'Q J, s .1 , , i 3 x g.

We had a private opinion of our own with regard to the.r tra ts, but it was lert to all the students of the school to decide for them- selves who is the most popular, most respected, most learned, the faculty dandy, and the one most easily bluffed. The voting voiced the sentiment of the school and showed that our teaching staff is not a hard, stern lot of pedagogues, but really a varied collection of real human beings. 'To know that Nlr. C. Howard Ross is the most popular teacher in school is indeed a pleasure, because this elongated character, with the enormous stride and the grin that endangers his ears, is always to be found where any fun is going on. His high flown utterances given with all cylinders hitting rapidly in succession are doubly interesting from the wide variety of experiences which he has undergone in his career. Those who took hiking trips with him will never forget them. One hike of a weekis duration to Starved Rock in the spring vacation was a red letter event of the year. All of his class work is made exceedingly popular because of the pithy illustrations used to impress the desired points. That surely is no joke about Nfr. Nutting being the most respected member of our staff oflearning. Vve all know what it is to be without a permit when diplomatic relations have been severed between us and some teacher, obliging us to apply to him for the desired consoling document. However, this reputation of his is not entirely fixed upon that one consideration but always when some good sound advice is wanted, we are sure to apply to the man who reposes behind the roll top desk in that space alotted to his business called the office. Everybody realizes that his long term of service and his wide range of experience puts him in a position to know just what is what. Nfiss Julia E. Gettemy is deemed to be the most learned of all of the tutors at present in our school. As head of the English department she is the dictator of the work in that line of study, and all of those who have ever had the pleasure of being pupils in any of her classes realize the extent of her knowledge. The art of teaching depends not so much upon a splendid education as upon ability to use it in terms easily understood. This is her prime quality. lt is rather a broad statement to say that Carl VV. Sagen is the faculty dandy considering that sucha man as Elmer S. Claar roams the concrete floors of our school in the capacity of a teacher. The popular majority goes to the occupant of Room ICQ, and considering everything, the cut of his clothes, his necktie, the fancy shirt, the perfectly good shine always in evidence on his navigators, and his sporting cap, we are convinced that he is the logical man for the job. hlr. Claarls horn rimmed double monocle came very near to turning the tide in his favor, but Nfr. Sagem frustrated that maneuver by artistically draping his watch chain across his chest in such a way that it could not be overlooked. Now comes the delicate part of our task. hliss lX'fantis Bloom is thought to be the most easily bluffed of all the faculty. We trust that this will work no havoc with those taking work in the biological department, as she may think that she is too lenient with her students and take steps to modify the prevailing opinion. lt is our belief that Rfiss Bloom gained this reputation through having taken pity on certain seniors in her Freshman classes and has encouraged them by giving those in the graduating class grades above the usual 75 to enable them to finish with a few good marks to their credit. Thus is charity always rewarded. 18 I1 Numa-rzcm ll ll SEVENTEEN ll if D 5 19J f The Maroon and White AIR, Thf Orange and Black I Although classes always favor A color of their own And in honor of fair flowers, To a certain bloom bow down, Yet will ne'er a flower fragrant, Nor color howe'er bright VVin the love all classes offer To the old hlaroon and YVhite.

The way upward is difficult, and often dangers and pitfalls beset the path of the traveler, but on the far distant summit precious rewards await one who would reach them. Hard as the way may seem, it is not a continual struggle. Sweet flowers of pleasure and joyous, sparkling waters spring from the mountain-side, and refresh the tired, thirsty traveler. Three milestones mark the successive stages of the journey, and with each goal comes consciousness of hard won accomplishment. One day in the early fall of the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen, a resolute army of young recruits, well-equipped with sundry bits of advice and a wholesome terror of Seniors, gazed up at the heights, where the Fourteeners were snugly encamped, and solemnly vowed that some day the Orange and Black should wave from those glorious summits. Thus with hopeful hearts and a determination to succeed, they began their journey. The days that followed were full of confusion and troubles, yet the terrors they had to endure only served to add a zest to the dull routine of school life. livery nook and corner of the way possessed a marvelous fascination to those wee Freshmen, and no spot was left unexplored. Rlany the Freshies who ran the gauntlet of a crowd of supercilious upper-classmen, were plunged with tingling ears into the depths of humiliation. But the longest day must have an end, and the fall of 1914 found this plucky bunch of little travelers safely arrived at the first mile-stone, labeled Sophomore Pep. Here they drank deep of the waters of Sophomore lmportancev and the change was instantaneous. Gone were the meek glances of earlier days, gone the quivery feeling of awe when a Senior condescended to look down upon them. VVith forms erect and eyes straight ahead, they marched onward with colors streaming in the autumn breeze. Now some members of that illustrious class, believing the old adage that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,'7 decided that the proper thing for any self-respecting Sophomore class to do, was to give a party, which would far out- shine the attempts of the preceding classes. Accordingly, a Hard Timesl' party was given. Ohl the joy of that first party of the Sophomore year. Wias such ingenuity in costumes, such delicacy in Heatsn ever equalled? Refreshed and encouraged by this happy event, the Sophomores settled down to work. Great strides were made in studies as well as in pleasures. Latin students tramped over the barbarous regions of Gaul, and lo and behold, before they had finished the first lesson, all Gaul was divided into tres partesf' The English classes, too, were busy, and before many weeks had passed, had safely stored into their craniums the causes, effects and general appearance of all sorts of brain storms. Ah! it was an exceptional class. 42 I I i 191 1 l lfz But the Sophomore year soon drew to a close, and with swelling hearts, Qand headsl the Seventeeners arose to the second milestone, called Hjunior Snobf' and they immediately began to fulfill the implied characteristic, by slamming the Freshmen, and impudently Hsassingw their elders, Cthat is, the Seniorsj Remembering the jolly times of their Sophomore year, the juniors decided to give yet another party. This time the Hgymw was filled with snickering clowns, mischievous Witches, fwithout brooms, however,D and terrible goblins. The evening ended peaceably, notwithstanding the tricky Hallowefen spirits assembled, and just before leaving, lunch was served. Remember the eats, doughnutsl But alasl the pleasant journey was coming to an end, and the last goal was in view. Far behind lagged a few limping soldiers, who tiring of the guiles of an unfavoring fortune, had dropped from the ranks, their places being filled by the stragglers from the army before them. The Sixteeners, despairing of ever holding their own against such a resolute army, slowly gave way, and finally, with grief unutterable, surrendered to the mighty onrush of the juniors. The journey was ended. The goal toward which they had labored for four whole years, lay before them. They stood on the top of the mountain, and their colors waved from the topmost peak. All the World lay spread out at their feet, and life, deep, inexplicable life, lay before them. But there had been one mistake. Their struggle was not ended, for far beyond this Nlountain of Knowledge rose other mountains, stretching on and on into the unfathomable distance of space, and they knew that their battle had just begun, and that they must fight bravely on to the end.

Then the unusual traits of a class, if it possesses any, manifest themselves. The past season has brought the Junior Class into prominence as a class possessing f'Pep, originality, and ability to a remarkable degree. The 318 ers believe that their record during the last two semesters is one that no Junior Class has equalled. Some of the exploits which the class can boast of may be brielly outlined. On Jan. 26, the 1918 Class presented two playlets in the high school auditorium entitled c'VVhen Love was Youngu and Cross Purposes. They were attended by so large a crowd that some people had to be turned away at the door. The parts were executed splendidly by the east, and the plays were a great success, financially, as well as theatrically. The Junior Xloonlight Excursion given Nlay 19, was another triumph for the Junior Class. Needless to say, it was a big success, and attended by a big crowd. The social year has been a success for the Juniors as well, as they can boast that their parties are the most successful in school. All social alfairs have received a big turn-out, and everybody has had a fine time as the '18 ers mix,,' and no Hwall flowers are tolerated. What Junior will forget the wienie roastwat Kroeger's farm, and the fun around the camp fire! And then there was the Confetti Nlasque, with its hamburger sandwiches and apple pie, and the Program Party Feb. 23. hlarch 30, the 1918 class gave the annual Senior Reception for the ,I7 ers, and judging from Senior comments, it sure was some party. Six Juniors were awarded Athletic NI's during the past year, and both Football and Basketball captains for next season are 718 ers. In literary work also have the Juniors been prominent, as seven 4'h'I's were awarded to members of this class. In the class tournaments, strong teams represented the 1918 class, as the girls finished second, and the boys, fourth in the basketball tournament. In the Boys,Glee Club, over half, and in the girls, a large number are Juniors, while in the Line-O-Type, the operetta, and all other lines of school activities, the 1918 class is strongly represented. Needless to say, if these students are so active in all the above activities, their standing in scholarship is very high. These then are some of the accomplishments of the past year, which make the Juniors so proud of their class. It will be long before they forget the happy years they spent in hloline High School as Juniors, and the good times they had in the old school that year. Judging by the record of this class this year, it should ac- complish great things as a Senior Class, so here,s to the future of the '18 ers!

In the two years we have been members of the hloline High School, we have not only upheld the name of the school, but we have made a reputation for ourselves. We have proven that our class possesses the spirit and originality which distinguishes an exceptional class from others. 'When we entered these Portals of Knowledge known as the Kloline High School in September 1915, we discovered a vast unexplored region, of which we had heard many strange and marvelous tales, but about which we knew absolutely nothing. Wie were as thoroughly lost as a western cowboy making his first visit to New York. Our envy of the Sophomores was unlimited, and Seniors were beings very vague and distant in our minds. We supposed that they, like the deities of old, wore wings, and a halo of glory, since then, however, we have found out different. With our customary pep, we soon recovered our courage and organized our class. Vile held an election in which we elected Harry Fromme, president, Der- went Sherwood, vice-president, Bertha Battles, secretary and Carl Wilson, treasurer. We succeeded in holding our own in all lines of school activities, for the class of 1919 was well represented in all athletic and literary contests. In the inter- class basketball tournament, both the boyfs and girlis teams of the 1919 class took fourth place. One of our members won an athletic RF, on the foot-ball team, while several put up a good fight as scrubs From our class in the declamatory contest was Gladys Anderson, who took first place and ably represented the school in the Big Eight contest. Socially, Hnobody had it on the Freshies,'7 for in the first semester a Freshman Llasquerade was held, and in the second, a Blue Shirt and Nliddy party. lVhen we came back to school at the beginning of the fall term in 1916 we discovered that we were Sophomores, and thinking that our lofty position de- manded respect from the other classes, were surprised to find that we were accorded this by no one but the Freshmen. Still we wondered how anyone with as little brains as the Freshmen could be admitted into high school, and we were much amused by their strange antics. To lead us in our career as Sophomores, we elected Harry Fromme, president of the class, Bertha Battles, vice-president, Florence Flley, secretary and Charles Ainsworth, treasurer. ln this year's basketball tournament our boy's team succeeded in carrying off second place, while the girls again took fourth place. Although our past efforts in the athletic line have not been as successful as we might wish, we still have two years left in our high school career, and we wish to call to your mind the old saying that He who laughs last, laughs best. During this year, three parties have been enjoyed by the Sophomoresg the first being an informal party, the second, a Christmas hlasquerade, and the third a St. Patrick's Day Party. Still another one is being planned for the near future. The St. Patrick's Day Party was the big social event of the year for the nine- teeners, and was greatly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be there. Prizes were awarded to Julian Inman and Florence ljley for the best dancing, and to James Lambertson and Ruth Hill, who were the winners of the candy hunt. Joy was at its highest pitch when refreshments in the form of pie a la mode was served. Thus with arduous effort, have we climbed one step nearer the summit of the Mount of Learning.

We are in high school, launched on the great river of knowledge, but the way is perilous, the current swift, and some of us may be lost on the way. Vile are a very large class, one of the largest that has ever entered Kloline High School, and we hope to stand out, an example, as the most efficient in scholarship, athletics, and other events sponsored by the school. In September out first class meeting was held, presided over by lX lr. Nutting. Class officers were voted for, the results being: Walter Heine, president, Harriet Ransom, vice-president, Frank Stowe, secretary, Henry Ginkel, treasurer, and Cleone Coyle and Drury Babcock as Board of Control members, the class colors, purple and white, were also chosen. A number of parties, arranged by the social committees, have been given and all were very successful. Later in the season came the girls' basketball tournament. The members of the 'CIQZOH team were: Amanda Carlson, Nladeline Kneberg, Dorothy Christopher, Faye Hasson, and Cleone Coyle. Amanda Carlson and Faye Hasson were especially noticeable because of their ability in shooting baskets. lVe won third place. After this the boys' Tournament was held. Francis Coyle, Leo Sill, Hamilton Green, lfldward Xlorey and Clarence Yan Daele composed the Freshman team. Glory was ours as we gained first place. In December when the Tri City Declamation was helgl, Frank Stowe was chosen as one of the team of six to represent us at Rock Island. At the girls' Contest Dorothy hlerriman was one of a team of six to represent us against Davenport. She brought great honor to our Class by winning three Firsts. Both of these.speakers have shown splendid talent in this work, and were awarded Literary '4XFsl'. Wie all sincerely hope that they will be able to represent us as well and as loyally in the future. Thus we go on, the class that a year ago was unheard of, and not until four years hence, when the doors of hloline High School close on us for the last time, will our real worth and brilliancy be realized.

HUNT, CLASS OF 789 Nearly two thousand years ago the Great Teacher made this statement, 'fliy their fruits ye shall know them, and by this test our modern schools must stand or fall. Is a High School education of real value? This is a question that in the past has often been discussed, especially by the parents of moderate means. The question was asked whether the sacrifice and self-denial necessary to put their boys and girls thru high school was really worth while. In discussing this, one statement often made was that a large majority of the better positions, especially in the industrial plants of hfoline, were l1Ot filled by hffoline boys, and there was the feeling that the High School was not meeting the needs of this community, that it was more of a school for rich menis sons and daughters and benefited those who were going farther with their studies, and not those who must be prepared to face life's problems at the earliest possible moment. This was quite commonly heard a few years ago but is not heard so much now because the schools have been getting in closer touch with the needs of the community and are striving to more thoroughly meet those needs, fitting the pupils to be of some immediate use in the world when they are graduated. As an example of the changed attitude of schools to meet the changing needs, a few years ago when the American Society of hfechanical Engineers was founded there was no college giving a real course in this field, and there was no degree in mechanical engineering. The same is true of the agricultural and other industrial courses. College entrance require- ments have been changed in line with the needs of society and in the near future will be changed still more. XYhile it is perfectly proper for high schools to fit for college those who are to have the opportunity of going farther, their greatest work should be to give the largest amount of practical preparation and training for those whose schooling will end with the Eighth grade or high school. There is no reason why a student who is making every effort to get thru high school with no expectation of going farther should be compelled to fit himself to a cut and dried course which will be of little practical value to him as far as earning capacity is concerned. As an example of the practical value of the changed and changing attitude, a recent article in the Chicago Herald might be quoted. 'fSix years of vocational training in the public schools has had this result: Kept a larger number of boys in the high schools. Blade it more diflicult for employers to get boy help. Increased the wages paid boys., For some time employers have complained that they were unable to get boy help. Then VVilliam Bachrach, supervisor of commercial work in the high schools, set out to find what the boys were doing. For ten years he found the number of boys exceeded the number of girls in the fifth grade, an age at which they are compelled to attend school. The girls, however, took the lead in the high schools. At the beginning of the ten years the girls exceeded the boys by more than 2,000 in the high schools. They held that lead until 1910, when vocational training was introduced. Since then the boys have been gaining. In 1910 there were 8,148 boys and 9,631 girls in the city high schools, in 1912 the ratio was 9,162 to IO,505Q 59 lm 19l j in IQI5, 11,116 to 11,712, in IQI6, 15,033 to 15,7o6. Meantime all the large merchandising houses are advertising constantly for boy help without a great deal of success. Nlr. Bachrach says wage offers have been increased materially, but they have proved of little attraction. He mentioned one big concern which is today paying QSIO a week to pupils who have completed the two-year com- mercial course in the high school and 512 to those who have completed the four- year course. 4'Our boys and girls are learningf' said Mr. Bachrach, 'fthat with a few years more in school they will receive much better wages when they start out to work. The above points to the solution of the problem that has puzzled educators for years, that of keeping the boys in school beyond the Sth grade. In our own High School the commercial course is turning out a better product than the private business schools because High School graduates have a broader training and have a better grasp of what is expected of them than their com- petitors. In many of the factories of Nloline those who take the full high school manual training course are placed way ahead of those who do not. Boys after graduation can enter our industrial plants at higher wages and at least two years ahead of those who have not had this opportunity. The practical emphasis has influenced also the teaching of other branches. Botany no longer consists of analyzing and classifying flowering plants but presents the fundamentals of plant reproduction, Zoology now emphasizes the beneficial and injurious effects of insects on plant life, chemistry deals with problems of practical analysis, physics seeks to lay the foundations of mechanical principles. The science of agriculture collects the practical points of all these other sciences into one subject, which is taught entirely from the standpoint of utility. For those who are going farther in their studies our school gives a thorough prep- aration for the advanced work. The different branches taught tend to broaden and make the students democratic as there are all walks of life represented, and the school forms an important part of the Uhlelting pot of Citizenshipf, Vldhatever uncertainty may exist regarding the preparation of the boy for the great variety of occupations which he may enter, the case of the girl is much different. Nearly every girl will become a housekeeper and the manager of the domestic activities in the home, and the girls are not forgotten in the improved opportunities. They are being well taken care of in the Commercial, Household Chemistry and Domestic Science Courses. That this is appreciated is shown by tlhg following extract from a letter written by a lXIoline mother. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the work you are doing in Domestic Science for the girls. So few of us mothers really know how to begin to train our daughters in what we have had to learn from experience. Be- is taking an interest and bringing home information to me which I appreciate very much. I think the Domestic Science Department in the High School helps the mothers to be better housekeepers as well as training the daughters. To sum up, the value of our lXIodern High School education is shown in the lives of the graduates in the way they meet the responsibilities of life, and are able to do bigger and better things than those who have not been so fortunate, and the practical trend in education is a definite answer to any doubt as to the value of a High School education. It does pay in every instance, and in the case of the student who must go at once into his life work, it pays its biggest returns. no e Y IL--IQITKIIT T:'?vT'll I 3 EVENTEEN gf bniz 'MIME , W! , f 1 if 1 -Sk Q -if VW H- H J 325 W ' X 1' x L 0 Q - W L mf iii ' 9J l f1? A I The person who is chiefly guilty of the success of.the athletic teams that , represented hfoline this season is our , coach, Benjamin XY. Miller. A man of modest personality, nevertheless he can- not Hhide his light under a bushelw. Coming to Moline after being athletic director of the Elgin Academy and Junior College for two years, he immediately proceeded to tUI'I1 out teams that were a credit to our school. Xfr. hliller is a graduate of Ohio University where he starred on all of the athletic teams during his career at that school. VVe learn that he collected ten Os, while a student in that place, three in football, three in baseball, two in basketball, and two in track. He was unfortunate that in his last year in school, he broke his leg while playing football and thisfkept him from accomplishing more. Added to this, he made All-State end in football in his first year out. A gentleman both on and off the field, he won the confidence and respect of his players from the start, and at no time was there any doubt but what he would turn out a good team. For the I'i1fSt time in many years, a football team was developed that was the conqueror of both Rock Island and Davenport, our arch enemies. In basketball he was equally successful, taking second place in the tournament at Galesburg and defeating Rock Island in the final game of the season. It was a pleasure for the seventeeners who were on the team to thus wind up their careers in glory under his tutelage, as four of the six that beat Rock Island in the final basketball game also played in the final game of the football season on Thanksgiving Day when Davenport's long series of victories in preceding years was broken. He was never known to make a long speech on lX'londay morning after a game, but always gumshoed up the stage and gave credit to those to whom credit was due, saying, I don't need to say much about the game because you were all there and saw what happened. I was proud of the way and and played. I want you all out to the next game and watch us beat --?-4- Then with an NI thank you,', he would walk off the stage. Great things are to be expected of him next year as by that time he will have become acquainted with conditions and with the individual candidates. liven though all of the UNI men on the basketball team graduate but captain-elect Swanson, we know that lXfIr. lNfliller will have a team on the job that will give a good account of itself. Similarly in track some of the best men will consummate their education, and new faces will be seen in that branch of athletics. However, under his careful supervision track stars of considerable magnitude are in the making, and before they receive their diplomas signifying their graduation, they will without a doubt make all competitors step some to beat them. 61 9J 1 117 I Athletic Association OFFICERS CHALMERS SEYMOUR, II7 . . . .

XIiller issued a preliminary call to all interested in football. The mentor's final summons for candidates was greeted with an enthusiastic response. No less than thirty-three hopefuls, including seven 'CAIN men, appeared and work was commenced in earnest. The customary Alumni game was cancelled due to the brevity of time to get into condition. On Saturday, September 30, Clinton invaded our fair city. The recently con- structed Xfaroon and Vkihite machine performed in great fashion and when the referee sounded the final whistle Iowa's State champions found themselves beaten by a score of I4 to 6. October 7 marked the collapse of the mysterious belt signal team which rep- resented the Kewanee high school. Though the local lads were played to a stand- still in the first half, they came back like infuriated tigers in the final half and wiped the field with their opponents. The Tube City lads drew but a goose egg, while Si and his gang rang up 33 points. A real KIoliner cannot say 'fGalesburg,' without shuddering. In this college town all prospects of a championship eleven went glimmering. Though the giant Galesburgians were furnished with plenty of opposition, their size and weight was too great a factor for the lX'Iaroon and VVhite athletes to overcome. 'Twas a weary bunch that landed in town that Saturday evening after having the short end of a 25 to 7 score forced upon them. This sad event happened on October 14. Freeport, the proud city of the northern conference section, which was scheduled to be lX'Ioline's next victim had the nerve to offer as an alibi the statement that they had no game arranged with our gang in spite of their signed contract in the posses- sion of our manager. Nuf sed. Still fresh in the minds of every loyal hfloline high school supporter is the event that took place on the twenty-eighth day of October. Some 3,000 wild-eyed bugs witnessed the tragic finish of the Rock Island machine. Wihen the final half dawned the score stood 7 to 6 in favor of Rock Island. Yes, the mystic charm was fulfilled and when the smoke arose from the cleat-scarred gridiron, the Nlaroon and White athletes scampered off with 26 points in their belts, while the Islanders had to satisfy themselves with 7. A jerk-water burg is not to be laughed at in every instance. Vlihether pursued by a jinx or whether they simply lay down are just mere conjectures. At any rate the lXIoline battlers had their hands full whipping the Sterling high school team by the narrow margin of I3 to 6.

In high spirits and con- fident of victory, not to mention the pink condition that prevailed, Cap Seymour and his scalp seekers fairly set the Distillery City ahre with their performance. Forty-two points for lVIoline and a heavy application of lime and Water for Peoria explains the outcome of the battle which took place on November II.

On Turkey Day, the thirtieth of November, there was staged in the city of Moline at the Three I ball park, a battle that now occupies a prominent place in the annals of Moline high school On that day the lVIaroon and W'hite Warriors, under the able command of Benjamin W. Miller, and Cyrus the Great, performed a feat Which exponents of the Nloline high school pigskin game have been attempt- ing since IQIO. Ah, nix on the suspense, lVIoline 14, Davenport, O.

Xliller, the football coach, without writing a veritable eulogy upon him. We know he would not stand for that, so we will try to do our best, leaving that part out. Those who witnessed any of the games will always recall the trim figure sitting among his players on the side lines between halves, not scolding them, but telling the boys Wherein they did things wrong and how to remedy the faults. A strict dis- ciplinarian at all times, he was one of the boys just the same and accomplished his ends without any riot measures. This popularity is attested by the fact that at the end of the season, he was pre- sented with a gold football charm on which was engraved UNT '16 strung on a gold watch chain. Every night he gave his men a good workout that enabled them to stand the gaff of the hard games of the season, and it was this training that won out for hloline. The fellows trained because they wanted Kloline and Rfiller to win. CHALMERS SEYMOUR, Captain, Si,', guard. Vliith his huge bulk and extreme altitude, Si was able to stop anything that came his way. Chalmers was a great leader, and a tower of strength in the line. Though possessed of a very mild character, he occasionally burst forth in a fit of conglama- tory sarcasm when the antics of the referee did 11Ot please him. Si fought his last battle for the Klaroon and Vllhite in the Daven- port game. CLrxUDELUDw1cK,f'Ludffquarterback.

This youngster will sure be missed next year, CLARENCE RoHwER, 'LRoar,', left end. Being a rather tall and lank youth, this noisy boy was death on forward passes. Rohwer,s punting was one of the features of the season, proving far superior to his opponents, in every phase of the kicking department. Clarence played his second and last year for the Klaroon and W hite. 158 l 1lM l 'IlllI '!Il I 'lIll l!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIH. ll!!IllllllllllIlllllllllllwlllllll' lllllllllllll llll llllllllllllll llII.I E mi it 'cAll' 3' halfbaclc CARL ALSENE, ie, .

An iron man on the defense and a phenomenon on offense, such is this Scandinavian warrior. His Swedish blood often fired to a fierce pitch and then he would actually daze his adversaries with his inconquerable light. XVALTER DECLERK, 'cBelgium, halfback.

Bosco has played three seasons of football for hloline and his shoes, though not very large CPD, will be hard to fill. 71 W Nmrrzsw fl lT's.+:vEN'rEsN ll 9J l !17 Review of Basketball Season About three weeks after other school teams had commenced to round into shape, the hIaroon and Vllhite squad was mustered in. A late start of three weeks behind, due primarily to the postponement of school in the fall, and a squad of inexperienced material put together so as to resemble a basketball team-this was the handicap under which Benjamin W. Nliller was obliged to struggle. The first conclusion that one arrives at on a hasty inspection of the record made by the team, is that NIoline suffered a disastrous season, but after an unbiased and thorough consideration of the various difficulties that were confronted, the observer must reach a different opinion. On january I2 occurred the first combat on the schedule. Vlfith the courage of tigers, though they realized that their chances were darker than the sky before a thunder storm, the lX'Ioline tossers entered the initial fracas with Davenport and lost by a score of 32 to 20. Still brooding over their defeat of a week previous, the boys journeyed to Kewanee, but here they were not able to overcome the basket shooting ability of Tiny Tesch and they were defeated 30 to 17. The next game was played on the local floor with the Canton High School five as guests. From them the hlaroon and VVhite, by hard fighting, managed to secure the only favorable count they were destined to get for some time-score 23 to 22. This happened on january 27. Calesburg, hIoline's jinx, was just as difficult an obstacle to overcome as in football, and with little trouble the Galesburg bean polesi' defeated the locals by a score of 23 to I2 on February 2. On February 3, Xfoline met Kewanee on the home Hoor, and gave a better account of themselves than they did in the Kewanee game the night before. With great difficulty, Kewanee won the game in a last minute rally by a score of 24 to 23. On the ninth of February, Rock Island and hIoline shook hands on the Islanders, Hoor, and as it seemed, Rock Island won with little or no difficulty. Then and there the Sister City Mhot stoversv formed a most exaggerated opinion of their superiority. The final marking stood 36 for Rock Island and 16 for hloline. The day after the Rock Island tilt, the locals, evidently exhausted by the strenuousness of the battle the day before, again fell before the onslaught of the powerful Galesburg machinegewe don't recall the score. Geneseo was represented this year by probably the strongest team in the history of the rustic institution. At any rate it possessed no mean ability and without the slightest intimation of murderous intent, it slaughtered the local squad to the tune of 20 to 6. This occurred on February 16. hloline and Davenport again met as foes on the 17th of Februarygthis time at Davenport. Handicapped by the scarcity of a gymnasium, lX'Ioline was unable to move at the accustomed pace and they dropped the game, 21 to 16. Next followed the district tournament at Galesburg. Common sense would indicate that Kfoline could not win in that town. But the surprise of the tourna- ment was sprung when hfoline stuck through to the finals, whipped Kirkwood 25 to 14, Abingdon, I4 to 13, Plymouth 49 to 16, XIonmouth 27 to 8 and made the Islanders travel such a furious rate that they felt ashamed of themselves. The score was 26 to IS in the final tilt. 72 iff IlW:T?E'W lljXl,l 1 j 19l l l f But this doesn't end the varied career of thc IQI7 machine.

CLARENCE ROHWER, Dobbin, Captain, Center, guard. Although burdened with the Captaincy, Clarence played a sterling game the whole season, and was never known to quit fighting. Center one game, guard the next, naturally he became a very proficieit basketball man. Blessed with the natural resources of a basketball star, height, weight, speed, judgment, and a basket eye, Dobbin7l stamped himself as one of the most dangerous men in the district. Often an opponent would try to slip a pass through him. but his long rangy ligure forestalled all such attempts. His shoes will he hard to till next season, both literally and figuratively. 74 W NINETEEN ll N IL SEVENTEENll .Qin 19j CLAUDE LUDXVICK, Lud,,' forward, guard. Claude started the season as a guard, was shifted to forward in the next few games and finally ended up as a guard. During the time he filled a forward position, he developed into a dangerous floorman surprisingly fast. Lud7' was unusually skilfull in bringing the ball into such a position as to afford his team-mates easy shots at the basket. This ability was responsible for bring- ing him back to serve as a runningguard. ln the final game with Rock Island, Ludwick with I-Terculean efforts was able to hold down the wonderful individual stars on that team. Claude has been on the basketball team for three years and must now let somebody else have a try at it. WALLACE SwANsoN, f'Wallie,', forward, guard, captain-elect. A youth of rather slender proportions, never- theless he applied himself to the task of breaking into the game. In every contestin which he figured his fighting spirit was predominant and always when the whistle blew, hewas still tusselling with some opponent to secure last game of the season, wearing of a plaster cast This will not, however, in the advantage. Unfortunately, in the his nose was broken, necessitating the on the olfactory member for some time. anyway affect his play- year. fWYallie is the only veteran to return next year. Kenneth Cornell, Ken, forward, center. A fighter of the most aggressive type, Ken,' had the stamina to stick it out, even if all the opponents played him. He was the crack shot of the team, and recognized by the critics of the tournament at Calesburg as center on the all-district second team. Going into the tournament a dark horse, he emer ed with the highest individual score of any player partici- pating, and was largely responsible for the great showing ofthe team there. Kenneth has complet- ed hislastyearasamember of the basketball team. 2 PUDOLPH XVILSON, HPinkey,7' guard. Rudy was not located in a position where he could blind the spectators with his shining ability, but in his own little corner, he was as consistent as a Pig lienj' in the morning.

All of the games were hotly contested and at no time was the result of the tourney apparent until the last few minutes of the final game. The fact that the Freshmen secured lirst place with the Sophornores second, augurs well for future basketball teams that will represent Moline in years to come. Some real Hlindsu were discovered, and Nloline should place a strong team in the Field next year. With all prospects of winnina the tournament bright, the 1917 team finished third. 'Fhe 1920 players duplicated the feat of the present senior class by winning the class basketball tourney while still Freshmen, and is the second class in the history of the school to have that honor. Drawing for places brought the Seniors and Sophomores and the juniors and Freshmen together on Vl'ednesday, the opening day of the tournament. Both of the underclass teams were victorious, and it was plainly seen then that the team which could beat either of these aggregations would be the class champions. The Seniors were defeated by a large margin by tl1e second year men in the first gameg but it was necessary to play overtime in order to award supremacy over the juniors to the Freshmen. Wihen the Seniors played the ,Iuuiors and the Sophomores met the Freshmen on the Friday of the same week, the Juniors were entirely eliminated, 1 and the Sophomores earned the right to enter the Left Rowe- lf.

'Fhe Sopho- mores had no easy time with the Freshmen, but the Senior--Iunior game was the real thriller. This latter game was undoubtedly the best game in the whole tournament. On the following Tuesday, the semi-linal was run oil, with the Seniors and the Freshmen as contestants. The Freshmen had by this time entirely recovered their old time form and easily defeated the more experienced Seniors. Their victory entitled them the right of meeting the sophomores in the final game, which was played as a curtain raiser to the Xloline-Geneseo game on the Friday of the same week. The Final game of the Interclass tournament aroused almost as much interest as the Geneseo high school game. Both contesting teams pre- sented their best lineups, and were all primed for aetion. .Xs the game progressed, it became apparent that the Freshmen had the best of the argument because the Sophomores had seemingly gone stale. 'llhey tried desperately to overcome the Freshmenls lead, but the yearling players were equal to the occasion and held on to the lead until the end and earned for themselves the honor of being elass basketball champions of the lXl.H.S. for the year of 1917. Future basketball teams are dependent in a large measure on the caliber ofthe players developed in the elass tournaments, and it is the duty of all who played on any of the three lower class teams and thereby gained some knowledge of the game to report to the director of athletics when the call for candidates comes next fall and do what they can to give Nloline the best in basketball material 77 NINETEEN N SEVENTEEN Top Rowf VVarren Giles Coach Ellison Al.

Engstrom Girls, Interelass Basketball Tournament The girlsl lnterclass tournament playel in the middle of Rlarch, terminated with the senivrs as champions, the juniors second, the freshmen third, and the sophomores fourth. lt was one of the IHOSI closely contested tournaments that tlte 'firls have ever engaged in. Two games played hy the juniors ran into overtime, but they won both of them, only to lose to the seniors in the final. From the start of the season, it was seen t'iat all of the teams had good material and that it Was only a question of experience and endura ite who would win the championship. One night every Week, from the middle of December until the end of February, when the personnel of the teams was determined, each of the teams reported tn Miss Dorothy Ainsworth, and staszed a practice Qame. Under her watchful eye the teams developed rapidly, and by the time the first game of the tournament was played, all of the teams had attained a high degree of perfection. lVluch credit is due to the respective captains, as they worked incessantly to get the girls to come out, and Cl'C3t6 enthusiasm for the game. The tournament opened with the seniors vic- torious over the sophomores and the juniors defeat- ing the freshmen. According to the scllelule of games, the two winners and the two losers played the next night. The result was the entire elimin- ation of the sophomores and the downfall of the seniors. By this victory, the juniors earned the right to enter the tlnals without further competition. 78 V lQlTIxI'E?E-fflilv ll M .SEVENTEEN IIlllllllIll!!llllll51lllllIlllllllllllIll!!!llllllllllllllklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ' lllllllIllllIllll!llllIlllll!.'lIIlli'll'n'l.'lll!l.'lllllll.. .. ..llllIIlIll11IlllllI!IIIlllIllIlI' X The following evening in the semi-final, the seniors conquered the freshmen, and by this conquest were enabled to meet the juniors in the deciding game played the Nlondziy of the next week. M- though the third year players put up a good same, their older opponents romped away with the Victory and the championship. VVhile they were in the tournament, the freshmen showed up remarkably well for beginners, and will no doubt win a tournament before they finish their school career. The work of their center stood out prominently in all their games and stamped her as one of the shining lights of the competition. Teamwork won for the seniors, although their center too, was a big factor in the teamls success. In fact,the pivot players on all the teams were the stars because in the girls' game, the centers are allowed the freedom of the floor denied to all others. Consequently a center is given more of a chance to show her ability. lndividual playing was more marked with the juniors, and although they were possessed of two players of exceptional ability, they could not break up the more polished offense of the seniors. No one who witnessed these games could fail to realize that the going was very fast. It was a wonder to the spectators that the girls could play such a strenuous contest and yet not be exhausted. The explanation is in the long, faithful weeks of practice in training for the event. Throughout there were few substitutions, and the five that started invariably f1l'llSl1Cd.

The boys are handicapped by inexperience, but the outlook with so many freshmen, sophomores, and juniors pounding away every night endeavoring to become brilliant runners and stars in other fields promises Well for track teams of the future. We are not placing our hopes too high, for the main thing that will be accomplished this year is to get over the apathy of former years and really make track a-sport that is Worth devoting time to. The benefits of track for those entering any line of athletics can hardly be overestimated although it is a hard grind all through. The value of experience and training was shown last spring when those who had Worked faithfully the previous season placed in both the tri-city meet at Rock Island and the Big Eight contest held in Galesburg. Earl Bahnks took a first and a second in the high jump, while Charles Mitton did Herculean work in the mile and the half-mile, these events following so closely that he had little time for rest in between. VVe have a splendid indoor running track and aspirants for honors in this line are taking advantage of it every day. An inter-class track meet was held, which was captured by the freshmen Whose total number of points was forty. Their nearest competitors were the juniors with a total of thirty, then the seniors with twenty-nine, and the sophomores last with seven. Although the new arrivals were material- ly aided by their speedy feminine footracers, who annexed twenty points for them, we must nevertheless give them due credit for their achievement. It will be remembered that they also took the boys' inter- class basketball tournament last month. Their girls' relay team fairly burned up the linoleum on the circular track, while Charlotte Morris took the two-lap race and Amanda Carlson tied for first in the 25 yard dash with her classmate Mildred E. Peterson. The surprising thing of this meet was the number of dark horses brought to light. Casady, an unknown freshman, took the 25 yard dash, and also the 220 yard dash from Charles Kerns who, it was thought by all, would have no difficulty in annexing the last named event. Kerns came back, however, and took the 440 yard dash the next night of the competition and vindicated the judgment of all that he is one of the best middle distance men in the school. Buelow, the iron man of the graduating class, romped away with the mile in the indoor meet, closely followed by Vllharton, '18, and Van Daele, '2O. All of these men are Working hard and any points they add to the hfaroon and 'White column will be the result of hard work and training. The most startling feature of the meet, however, was the performance of Forrest Ford, a sophomore, in the cross country run of approximately four miles, which he won without any previous training, finishing so strong that he sprinted in on the home stretch. Keith Haley of the freshmen won the high jump in the indoor competition, with McKelvey second, and VVinters and VVright of the freshmen, both claiming honors for third place. Hoyt of the freshmen has been showing splendid form in practice and should do well in the meets to come. In the hurdles, several good men were unearthed, l.Villard Preston, '18 taking the low hurdles, and john Stone, 'x7, breasting the tape first in the high hurdles. With the coming of warm weather, Browning Field will without doubt be the scene of track activities that are staged outdoors. It is expected that many who are at a disadvantage running indoors will take a new lease of life on the outdoor cinder path, which is available this year for the first time. Added to this we have splendid coaches to correct the faults and defects of those trying hard to succeed. Nlr. Claar, the assistant coach, was a former star for the Maroon and Wihite, as well as one of the regular performers on the University of lllinois track team for four years where he specialized in the high jumping and discus throwing. Of course the accomplishments of Benjamin VV. Nliller are well known to all, but his mania was for the dashes and a place was nearly always counted upon when he was entered in any event. so , I Nzmrrssm I s.+:vEN'rE:Nl x Q LITERARY X 19J f Standing Cleft tO rightj: JOHN SEIDS . .

Boys' Declamation Contest N the evening of Friday, November 17, there took place in the auditorium one of the most keenly fought declamation contests in our records. Only after a very careful consideration was Albert Crampton with his selection, Courage of the Commonplacef' declared the victor. By virtue of his victory he was given the honor to represent the Maroon and White at the Big Eight which was held at Nfon- mouth, December S. Crampton's contribution was excellently delivered, his rendition was clear and forceful. Although he was unable to win a place at the Big Eight contest, never- theless he succeeded in upholding the standard of the school.

Big Eight Friday, February 16th, marked the staging of one ofthe most keenly contested Big Eight Girls, Declamation in the history of the organization, Nine dilferent schools were represented by their most able declaimers, and each representative did justice to the standard of the school she sought to honor. From this hard- fought struggle Klarvel Griggs was returned the winner of second place. Enthusi- asm waxed high, and only with the greatest difficulty were the judges able to determine the victors. Frances Schulze of Davenport, winner of last yearls con- test, was again acclaimed the winner, while Klary Safford of Nlonmouth was awarded third place. 83 M 9J f The Tri-City Declamation Contests Two years ago, the idea of having a triangular competition preparatory to the Big Eight Contest, was conceived and inaugurated. The contests were intended to arouse greater enthusiasm and rivalry between the schools, and they have not disappointed expectations. Six declaimers from each school are chosen to compose two teams. One of these teams defends the school on the home platform, while the other trio appears on foreign grounds. Each member of the two teams is awarded the right to wear the literary lX'f. The winner of the Boys' Tri-City declamation contest, preliminary to the Big Eight, was not determined without a struggle. Though Davenport succeeded in winning the contest, the fact is not indicative that the battle was won without strenuous competition. The team which invaded alien grounds in search of victory was composed of Albert Crampton, lVlerritt Thomson, and Frank Stowe, but they sought in vain. Raymond Bergerson, Eugene Johnson and Russell Wharton constituted the trio that upheld the honor of the hlaroon and VVhite on the home platform. All of the contestants displayed spirited enthusiasm, and the benefit which the lads derived was reflected in the local contest. On the final ranking, Davenport, with 54 points chalked against its record won the contest, while lXIoline with 59, and Rock Island with 70, followed respectively. The Girls, Tri-City contest, as well, was close and interesting. Dorothy Nferriman, Barbara Garst and Florence Eley, clashed with a Davenport team on the home platform and won an easy victory, while hffarvel Griggs, Edith Young. and Grace Clarke were less fortunate in Rock Island. 84 I1 NINETEEN ll ll .SEVENTEEN ll IIlillllllIlilillIllillllllllllIll!IllIIllII1illIlI!!llllllllllllllflllllllllllIIIEIHIIIIIIIIII' I Liun:::::n1::::um:anni:::an1:::n:::::::::nn::::l llllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllll'f Local Extempore Contest AROLD YYOOD won first place in the local extempore contest, Thursday afternoon, April 19th. He was therefore the Kloline representative to the Big Eight externpore con- test at Canton, hflay 4th, At the same time, two teams of three members each, were chosen to compete in the -tri-city extempore contest April 27th. The teams selected were Harold VVood, liugene Johnson and Kenneth Cornell to contest on the Nloline floor with Rock Island, and Ray- mond Bergerson, Albert Crampton and John Seids to compete at Davenport with a team from that school. The extempore is the most difficult of the literary contests. llach contestant out, one hour before he is to speak, draws three topics, from which he may choose one. He then has one hour in which to arrange a speech which shall not exceed seven minutes in length. He is al- lowed no reference to books or persons during the hour of preparation. The six competing at the tri-city contests are awarded literary Xlis and the one speaking in the Big Eight the Nl and a jersey. There were ten entries in the local. lX'l. Duryea, Reverend R.

The question was, HResolved that the U. S. should establish and maintain a protectorate relation over the Philip- pine Islandsf, Wliile not exactly an ideal sub- ject for debate, it nevertheless proved to develop plenty of points both for and against it. Daven- portls silver tongued orators succeeded in con- vincing all judges both at Rock Island and on home platform that their side of the question was entirely right, and consequently represented the tri-city district in the final debate. The first call for candidates was made by Coach Elmer A. Claar, October 12, and brought out thirty-five aspirants for forensic honors, only one of whom was an experienced debater. As time progressed, however, a large number of these dropped out and by the time the first try- outs were held in january, there were only flf- teen left of that number. Right then and there, Klr. Claar found out what a task was before him and promptly set to work with vigor to remedy existing conditions, He worked early and late, in his efforts to build up a debating team that really would argue to put their convictions across to the audience. Wlhen the final tryout was held, a few weeks later, his effort began to show up in the more hnished manner in which all of the contestants handled the subject. Competition for places was exceedingly keen, notwithstanding the comparatively small number who tried out, and it was no easy task to select the teams. Those whose merit entitled them to recognition in the final tryout and who were chosen to represent Kfoline Were: Affirmative: Eugene johnson, Alfred Lindbloom, Harold Wiood, and john Seids Calternatej. Negative, Hjalmar Hansen, Chalmers Seymour, Raymond Bergerson, and james Ellison Qalternatel. The regular members of the team will receive the literary NNI and a jersey for their efforts in upholding Nloline in debating, while the alternates will receive just the NIV Although the regulars did the heavy work in actual debating, the alternates worked just as hard before the debate and were responsible for any emergencies that might arise. Kfoline is fortunate in having a debating coach of such caliber as Kfr. Claar. He is an alumnus ofthe local high school of the class of IQII and a graduate ofthe University of Illinois. Added to this, he has also spent a year at Harvard Law School. During his career, Rfr. Claar has made a name for himself in high school debates, and also in college forensic work, where it requires a great deal of time and unquestioned ability to secure a position. A great deal of the success of this year's debating teams must go to him. He took a squad of men all of whom were inexperienced except one and coached them until they took on the aspect of real honest-to-goodness arguers. This was no easy task, for a few of his pupils had had no public speaking work whatever. XG l 91 1 1ul:::::III2::zmm::nm::::llu:::n::::::::: :::: :::::::n::: ..::::l:::::' 1 Xloline's Affirinatiye team clashed with Davenport's Negative at the latter place on the afternoon of Xlarch 16, and lost by a unanimous decision of the judges, The boys from Kloline were up against great odds, and they were the victims of circum- stance, rather than lack of ability on their part. They were unfortunate in debating on a strange floor, and added to this they forgot and left all their paraphernalia at home, such as rebuttal cards and speeches, The fact that they lost to Davenport is no reflection upon their merit, as Davenport has adopted debating as a part of its school curriculum, and consequently secures valuable ex- perience which the Nlolinc debaters cannot acquire. True, we have a public speaking department which aids materially in delivery, but it gives no work in debating that is so essential to a finished speaker who must not only give his constructive speech well, but a good organized rebuttal as well. lVloline's Negative team fared much better on the home platform against Rock Islandls Affirmative. Rock Is- land is laboring under the same dis- advantages that led to the downfall of the hloline Affirmative team, so the teams were practically on an even basis. lt was demonstrated con- clusively that all else being equal, we have the ability right here in the school to turn out a team that will win. It is to be regretted that so few people turned out to witness Rock lsland's downfall on the local floor. Next season should see a great improvement in the debating work, as there will be a wealth of material to choose from, and also an experienced man from this year's squad. lt is hoped that more under-classmen will turn out and if they do not make the team the first year out, they will gain some valuable experience which goes to make up a good debater. With Klr. Claar as coach, nothing but success can be predicted for our efforts. 87 I Nmrrzzw l l .SEVENTEENI I f W ? I 19J j l f Dispatch-Argus Contest Students of the Kloline High School not only showed their superiority in athletics over Rock Island,but they also had their say in so far as journalism was concerned. This was conclusively proved on Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of October, nineteen hundred and sixteen, when by a decision of two to one the Klaroon and Wvhite scoops vanquished the supporters of the Nfaroon and Gold. Through the generosity of the lX'foline Dispatch and the Rock Island Argus this newspaper contest was made possible. The experience of that memorable day will long linger in the minds of the participants. That the lX'Ioline journalists produced the better paper there is not a fragment of doubt. In consequence of the feat, the lfoline High School is now in proud and permanent possession of the cup offered by the two dailies. This journalistic competition was instituted in the fall of IQI4, when the Nfoline students were awarded the decision. Next year, however, the Islanders were accorded the best of the argument and as a result the cup changed hands for a year. But this year we labored more strenuously and were probably blessed with better material. At any rate, Xfiss julia Gettemy and her tribe of reporters fairly set the city afire in their eagerness to manufacture news. To lXfiss G-ettemy belongs the lion's share of the credit, as it was through her efforts that we accomplished what we did. Although this marks the close of this comparatively new literary competition between the two schools, the students of the Kloline High School will be given an opportunity to publish the Dispatch one day of the year with the competitive feature eliminated. Those who put forth their efforts toward the issuing of the Dispatch under the editorship of Kfiss Gettemy on that eventful day were Herbert Almlof, Ruth Baumgartner, Paul Becker, Raymond Bergerson, Albert Crampton, Ferdinand Eldean, Holbert lillis, Elizabeth Haney, Hjalmer Hansen, Touis Link, Russell Lund, john Seids, Donovan Taze, Elizabeth Walker, joseph Walker, and Arnold Torsell. Able alternatives were found in Fritiof Fryxell and Aferritt Thomson, while Vffillis Kuschman proved our Briggs,' the second. The typists who proved to be of invaluable assistance were Klildred Chinlund, Ethel Nlae Clark, Margaret Thorngren and Paul Carlson. S9 lj Nlmrrcsm l l SEVENTEEN lj 19J f Line o' Type ln the course of the last year, we have added to our fields of activity one other, namely, the journalistic. A school paper is the thing to which we refer. Our new paper is called the Line oi Type and is published fortnightly by the Senior Fellowship Club in conjunction with the Ifnglish department. The first issue came out Kfarch 13, and was heralded with much enthusiasm. Six issues will be had this semester as the time will not permit of more. So far no advertising has received attention, but with the growth of the paper it will be one of the stages of evolution toward a greater and better sheet. The need for a school paper had long been felt, and there was often talk of starting the ball rolling, but until the advent of Ferdinand Eldean with his untiring efforts toward putting out such a document, nothing was accomplished. Uther classes no doubt thought that when the new school was built a printing press would be installed similar to the one in Rock Island,s Xfanual Arts building. However, the expense of building and the numerous expenses incident thereto proved to be too great a handicap for the board of education to provide all those things which in time will be introduced with more funds available. Ferdinand lildean, an experienced newspaper Writer, was assigned the job of being editor of this paper. Julia lf. Gettemy and li. P. Nutting of the High School faculty aided very materially in correcting copy and reading proof for all the issues. The others who comprised the staff chosen for supposed ability in Writing, are as follows: Reporters, 1917, George Stange, Hjalmar Hansen: 1918, Don Taze, Tflizabeth Walker, joe Vlalkerg 1919, Raymond Heiderg 1920, Lewis Mahoneyg 1921, John Tedell. Albert Crampton is business manager assisted by Russell Wiharton, Allen Simmons, and Russell Tund, Elizabeth Yernon is Society Editor, Frank Johnson, Joke lfditor, and Wendell Peterson, Cartoonist, while bliss Julia Cettemy serves as faculty adviser. 90 1M l l I l 9l lj7 Wearers of Literary HM Gladys Anderson Ruth Baumgartner Raymond Bergerson Grace Clarke .

Before two genuinely appreciative audiences that filled the auditorium on the nights of April 6th and 7th, the comedy drama, The Klan on the Boxf' was given by the class of 1917, setting another record in the success of theatricals in the hloline High School. Each member of the cast played his part to perfec- tion and the rounds of applause that swept the room from time to time amply demonstrated the great hit that the production made with the audience. The success of the affair is due in a great measure to the coach, Nlrs. L. B. Canterbury, whose untiring efforts and unffagging spirit instilled so much enthusiasm into the cast that the play was fore-ordained to be a great hit. Edwin Berg and Gertrude lliood in the leading roles of Lieutenant Robert Wiorburton and Bliss Betty Annesley respectively, carried the audience by storm with their realistic impersonations. By far the hit of the evening was Frank John- son whose characterization of Pierre, the French chef, called forth so much applause that for a few minutes it seemed as though the play must be held up. Alice Samuelson as the lieutenant's sister and Chauncey Kinsey as her fiancee were also stars of the evening as well as Lillian Schlotfeldt and Wiilliam Kiel, in their roles as a product of Washington society and a Russian diplomat respectively. The police court scene was so realistic with Raymond Bergerson as judge, Steve Anderson as clerk and Carl Carlson and Chalmers Seymour as policemen that it was hard for the audience to believe that it was not witnessing a real every- day trial. Blames Ellison and Leroy Buelow as retired military officers did more than justice to their parts, while Lucile Hastings, Allen Early and Harlow Gaylord in their interpretations of their various minor roles brought lasting credit upon themselves. 'fThe hffan on the Boxf' is a story in three acts of Robert VVorburton, alias James Osborne, a resigned young army officer, prominent socially, who had been placed under arrest as the result of a practical joke, in which he had planned to substitute himself as the coachman on his sister's carriage, and when he had thoroughly frightened them to suddenly make himself known. Through a mistake in numbers he drove Nliss Betty Annesley in Nlrs. Conway's coach instead, and at the conclusion of the escapade kissed lyliss Annesley, still thinking her to be his sister. Through the efforts of his chum, an influential newspaper man, he secured a private hearing, which concluded when hliss Annesley, who half suspected his identity, pleaded for his release and at the same time offered him a position as her groom, intending to punish him for his bold conduct of the night before. His infatuation for her induces him to accept the place. His new position offers many difficulties both natural and of Nliss Annesleyfs contrivance, and his efforts to keep his identity from being discovered produce many humorous situations. Count Karloff, a Russian diplomat, has induced Colonel Annesley, who is in desperate 93 l l lvl I eil straits financially, to sell him plans of U. S. fortifications, and has secured the Colonells agreement to a marriage with Betty. Through VVorburton,s loyalty to Nliss Annesley, he remains in her employ and frustrates the Russian's plans, thereby securing not only the colonclls undying gratitude but the right to Betty Annesley's heart as well.

L Uc1LE HASTINGS 19J 1 The junior Dramatics The annual plays given under the auspices of the English department and the Junior class were enthusiastically received by an audience that packed the audi- torium, on Friday evening, January the twenty-sixth. The first play, When Love Was Youngf' was a short sketch of the supposed troubles a young couple were forced to undergo in order to obtain their parents' consent to their marriage. Polly Star, QCharmian Nlaxwellj and Richard lVlartin, CEugene Johnsonl had been playmates since their childhood, but no thought of love had ever entered their heads until their respective parents, Nfrs. Starr QFrances Guthriel and lXlrs. hlartin CSelma G-odehnl announced their intention of making separate matches for them. lt was immediately decided that such a fate could not be tolerated,and in order to escape it they would marry each other. In reality it was their parents, intention to try to inspire love between them and after a very humorous situation with many explanations the curtain fell on a very happy scene. Each one of the characters played his part exceedingly well, especially the two leads, Chairman lylaxwell and Eugene Johnson. The second play, Cross Purposes, was the story of a young nobleman, Julian Von Goldenfeld CAlbert Cramptonj, brought to disgrace by a situation for which he was not to blame, and robbed of his estates by an unfortunate law suit, who seeks refuge with his old nurse, Dorothy CPhyllis Chapmanj and announces his decision of starting anew. His aunt, Countess Zischa von Katzenellenbogen, CFlorence lVlcKahinD living in the neighborhood learns of his disgrace, and at the same time hears that Prince Englebert CClark Nelsonl is traveling in that part of the country. She plans to effect a marriage between her niece, Lady Thyra QNIargaret Richardsj and the prince, but because Julian arrives first and because she has not seen her nephew for years, she naturally supposes him to be the prince. Julian is surprised at the warm reception accorded him by his aunt but says nothing. VVhile staying at his aunt's house he falls in love with Lady Thyra, and has just received his aunt's permission to marry her when the prince appears. Countess Zischa supposes him to be Julian and refuses to talk with him. After many amusing incidents explanations are in order, and the identity of Julian and the prince established. Julian is again restored to his former position in court and learns to his great joy that the law suit has terminated in his favor. Through the compulsion of the prince, his aunt is forced to give Julian and Lady Thyra her blessing. Each of the characters played his part to perfection, and the entire cast received a hearty ovation. The coaches of the two plays, lNliss Julia Gettemy and Bliss Kate L. Yourex, are to be especially congratulated upon the success of their efforts. Credit must also be given to the Junior Double Quartette whose contributions were greatly appreciated. 96 ' ITNINETEEN ll Il SEVENTEEN ll w I If A ' P V D r N I N r w Illllllllllll I llllllllll III lllllllllll Ill IIIIIIIIIIIIH llll Illlllllllll lllnmllllllllllu 9J !J7 Senior Fellowship Minstrels Vlfith the auditorium packed to the doors, echoing and re-echoing with applause, the final curtain of the Senior Fellowship hffinstrels marked the close of the most successful theatrical, financially and otherwise, ever produced in Moline High School. The Hpepw and enthusiasm shown by the entire cast excelled even the record set by last year's class, whose initial performance of the hffinstrels was a novelty never seen before in hffoline. Ludwick, hdiedke, Peters, Kiel, Johnson and Carlson as end-men and Sexton as interlocular drew forth much praise and laughter with their jokes and songs, while the soloists, Dunkin, Cornell, Kinsey and Kerns were called to their feet time and time again in response to plaudits for encores. The sketch preceding the Nlinstrels, 4'The King of the Cannibal Islands coached by C. Howard Ross scored a big hit with the audience. Seymour and Hansen as shipwrecked captain and mate respectively, land on an island supposedly inhabited by cannibals. Here they are met by partially civilized natives who inform them that, according to the decree of a white man, lately deceased, and whose influence brought them to civilization, the first white man landing On the island shall be made king. This happens to be the captain who is so happy at his good fortune that he appoints his mate as prime minister. Beautyanna QHarry Lamonl, also shipwrecked on the island, fifteen years before,is brought in and introduced to the captain as his bride-to-be, much to the delight of Peter, the mate. A court is held at which many side-splitting cases come up, and which is interrupted by four shipwrecked sailors from the battleship, lllinois, Qljeters, Kfiedke, Carlson and Kernsl who delighted the audience with many songs. After this diversion a wild man CGunnard Strandlundjis tried.and still later the crown jewels in the form of bricks, a horse-shoe and an advertisement for a medical salve, are presented to the king. After an amusing climax, the mate is proclaimed king by the natives, and introduces the minstrel program. Those in cast, as follows, all played their parts to perfection.

The demand g for chorus work has almost doubled and the larger F number of available singers made it possible for a , substantial increase in both the girls' and boys' glee clubs. Time was when a great deal of soliciting and coaxing was necessary to induce the pupils to try out for such ventures, but now this is all changed. Com- petition is very keen for places and those who receive , recognition do so by their merit, I All this has been brought about by the dynamic I musical director, Kliss Elizabeth Peterson. Her work f is never so heavy but that she always can sacrifice a r little time for those who apply for extra help. She has made the work so interesting that no one can fail ' to appreciate the opportunities offered. This popu- larity is attested by the organization of a double quartet by eight enterprising junior members of the boys, glee club. Their initial appearance was at the junior theatricals and on this occasion they won a place in the estimation of all those who heard them. g X' ' ' Miss Peterson coached the boys and it is to her credit that they were so well received. Tickets to the recitals of two college glee clubs, the Cornell and Yale clubs respectively, were offered to the students in the music department by the alumni associations in the tri-cities of the above colleges. Those who took advantage of these rare treats will never forget the occasions. Certain other philanthropists placed tickets for disposal to those of the music department who desired to hear the Tri-City Symphony Orchestra. After last year's musical success, the operetta 'fSylvia, the production of similar theatricals each year was assured. This opportunity to secure dramatic as well as vocal experience before the public was readily realized by the students and they Hocked to try out for this year's operetta f'Bulbul',. A great variety of talent was displayed in the fight for places, and it was some time before the personnel could be determined. The tryouts brought out the best in all of the pupils and gave those who thought they had their places cinched a distinct scare. From the present outlook Bulbul,' bids fair to become even a greater success than its predecessor 'cSylvia . The cast is much more experienced and able than the one of last year. Added to this the greater number taking part will place this yearis operetta on a scale far surpassing anything hitherto attempted. All other details such as scenery and costumes will be superior to previous plays put on at the local school. Considering everything connected with the musical department there could be no brighter outlook. VVith the increased facilities constantly being added and the experience gained in developing talent this year, we look forward to the time when Nliss Peterson will have the best high school musical department in the state, if she does not have it already. l l 101 NINETEEN Tl M .SEVENTEEN l ' ' ' 1--K-.:f,, Q l i Boys' Glee Club Three weeks after school convened last fall, the Boys' Glee Club was so well organized that they were able to appear at the meeting of the western branch of the State Teachers' Convention at the high school auditorium and give several splendid selections. Enthusiastic comment from various parts of the state con- cerning the program shows what Nliss Peterson did in such a short time. The boys also appeared in the Tri-city Girls' Declamation Contest a11d i11 the Latin play Dido, the first semester. The second half of tl1e school year they sang at the Girls' Big-Eight Declamation contest held in Nloline. They will have leading roles in the operetta Bulbul wl1icl1 is to be given. The work has proved more popular this year than ever before, as the number of students taking tl1e work has increased to almost double that of the glee club pre- ceding it. Competition for places was very keen, as in the second semester forty- live tried out for the seventeen vacant places. This was without any urging on the part ofthe head ofthe glee club. For the first time in its existence it adopted an organization for the spring term. The following officers were elected: hlerrill Trowbridge, presidentg Frank Johnson, vice-presidentg Russell Vllharton, secre- tary-treasurcrg and Raymond Cowley, librarian. lXLLITlCS according to parts: Fifi!

Girls' Glee Club The late opening of school put the Girls' Glee Club in the same straits that the boys' organization found themselves in when asked to sing at the Teachers' Con- vention three Weeks after the day when school commenced. They fell to the task with a vim and their appearance and general ability shown was the signal for continual applause from the visitors. Reciprocating the favor ofthe boys in con- tributing tovvard making the Girls' Declamation contest a success, they gave several numbers in the Boys' Tri-city Declamation event. The grouping in the first scene of Dido, a song to Aurora, was most beautiful. A substantial increase in the membership of this organization was in evidence, though not so great as that of the Boys' Club. The growing popularity Of this branch of school endeavor has made glee clubs of exceeding high caliber.

Steadfastly following the object of promoting sociability and good-fellowship among its members, these features were predominant at its meetings, and more than could ever be hoped, this organization of fellowship changed the rather loosely joined individuals into a compact unit, each one interested in the other, all for one, and one for all. On account of the great amount of time spent in making our hlinstrel a success, for a time speakers were neglected, but as soon as business was over our desire for education was revived with even greater intensity. Cur speakers were men most prominent locally, some of them being, C. B. Hall, C. H. Ross, R. B. Lourie, li. C. Xlack, Klorgan Sexton, C. Correll, and Judge N. A. Larson. After the appearance of last year's hfinstrel show, it was thought impossible that any improvement could be made or that any greater success could be achieved, but that opinion fell 'iflat as a pancake after our performance on Klarch 3. The immense audience testified to its theatrical and financial success. But after the Nlinstrels came the big social event of the year, made possible by that theatrical. The feast was great, and the hours spent afterward in dancing and social time made the event the greatest social success ever produced in the school. To the class of IQI6 belongs the honor of the club's organization and to the class of 1917 belongs the glory of fostering that which the school has long felt the need of, a school paper, as well as advancing the Good Fellowship in even greater meas- ure than before. liet us hope that the next class will maintain this high standard. 105 V iiii NINETEEV-ll ll scvsrwrszml Illllllllllll lI'II llllllllllllll lllll Illlllll llllll lllll Illlllllllll Ill lllllllllllllli llll lll llllllll Ill Illllllllllll J f17 Girls' After Dinner Club The high cost of living has not materially affected the Girls' After-Dinner Club in any way, as the girls still gather the first hlonday of each month and enjoy a chat and meal together. Enthusiasm has marked all of their meetings, which have been exceedingly interesting. This yearfs organization has gone beyond its predecessor in activity and originality. Under the supervision of their officers, Elizabeth Haney, president, Dorothy Benson, treasurer, and Miss Cettemy, acting as chaperon, the club was able to enjoy a finished evening's entertainment every time they met. Among the speakers present at the various meetings were numbered many prominent women, social Workers and educators, some of them being, Mrs. hfarcia Gould, Nlrs. C. W. Gleason, Nfrs. lVIary Ogden, lylrs. Josephine Barnhardt, and Kliss Grace Putnam. Seeing the success of the Senior Fellowship Club minstrels, they also ventured into dramatics, and put on a matinee performance, something novel in this school. This performance consisted of a play, '4The Piperas Payf, given on the afternoon of April zoth to a highly appreciative audience that packed the auditorium. Follow- the play a reception was held in the gymnasium, at which dancing was enjoyed until after seven o'clock. The girls were also active in charity work, and at their meeting of December 21 dolls were dressed, to be distributed among the poor children of the city at Christmas. These furnished a novel diversion for the girls, and made a great hit with the recipients. However Widely the girls of the class of 1917 may be scattered in their life- vvork, it is certain that they will long remember the good times enjoyed, and will want to be back studying under the roof of the hfoline high school, and sharing in the activities of the school. 100 ll NIIQYETEEN l l SEVENTEEN ll l Y l llllnl liiuuu ll!ilIIIllIllllllllI5llllill!1222!HI!IllEIlilIIli!!Illl!!Illlllllllllllllfillllllllllllflllllll lllL'!.'llIl!IlIl.'l!I!llIllll!!lllllIllllllIIIfL'Illlllli IIIIIIHIIII l'Il 'IIIlIlI' 7 Dido, Queen of Carthage A crowning success marked the biggest attempt in the history ofthe Latin Club of the Xloline high school, when they produced Dido, Queen of Carthage, on the evening of December 16, 1916. The auditorium was well nlled with a very ap- preciative audience. In the staging of the gigantic affair, the Latin Club was ably assisted by the music department. The production was replete with gay and elaborate costumes, and the originality of the stage effect clearly reflected much consideration and thought on the part of the coaches. Lucile Hastings played the title role as Dido, Queen of Carthage, and she is deserving of much credit for her clever interpretation of that most difhcult part. Her rendition and composure displayed unusual histrionic talent. Alfred Lindbloom as Aeneas, a Trojan prince, did justice to the type of charac- ter he represented. Barbara Garst, acting the part of a sister of the queen, and Elizabeth Haney as a lame nurse portrayed their assignments with great credit. Elizabeth Vernon as Venus and Elizabeth VValker as Juno played the parts of haughty goddesses most acceptably. All of the individual parts were Well played. To those Who probably were the recipients of the least part of the credit belongs the lion's share, to-Wit: Nlisses Grace Warner and Grace Tunniclilf. Only through their untiring efforts and clever planning did the Latin Club attain the supreme success for which it aimed. Following is the cast of the play. 1AENEAS, Prince of Troy . . . .
