G DEDICATED TO THE BOYS IN FRANCEJM Our President says: I summon you to a great duty, a great privilege, a shining dignity and distinction. I shall expect every man who is not a slaeker to be at my side thruout this great enterprise. In it no man can Win honor who thinks of himself. Our troops are now on the firing line in France, while at home every instrumentality of our government and private industry is being waged at top speed to in- sure victory, which is a direct answer to the President's summons. We consider this time most appropriate to show the appreciation of the rising generation to our soldiers and sailors who are fighting for us on foreign soil. To them we most respectfully dedicate this volume. i N A N Q Mil iiwllliliiiiililliiliiiilii KIrffurlmlgglimliiililiiillliiliiiliiiliiiiii 'N A EWSEWWEH Ffiiiififfiiiiiiiii ilk ,E mx wmmwgw,-wHE?Wii3iiT mi TEHHWYHYWY S . ,1 . .

HERBERT ERICKSON, Herb A sure enough hiker, but not a pikerf' if ' A ll it All 43 5 'La Our Four Years 'Neath the Old Maroon and White ' In September of the memorable year of 1914 the Moline High School was honored by the entrance into its portals of the most miraculous lot of mental in- telligence, physical prowess, dramatic and literary ability, that the school has ever possessed. All this arrived in the form of about two hundred students from Cen- tral Grammar school. The famous Class of 1913! The First class meeting was held and ofhcers were chosen. The Crimson and ., . . . . , , ,. Wliite made their social debut on the night before lrlallowe en at a llard Innes party chaperoned by none less than Principal and Mrs. E. P. Nutting. In February we moved into our new home and again we were forced to adapt ourselves to new surroundings, but this time we were not humiliated by the superhuman knowledge of the upper classmen, for they had to endure the same hardships. Alas! Our trials were over and the Green Little Freshiesu were wise and ambitious Sophomores. Being such wise and practical creatures we decided to prove our good sense to our friends by giving a Blue Shirt and Middyu party as a beginning of our Sophomore social activities. This was followed by a Christ- mas party to which Santa Claus came with a gift in his pack for every one. These proud and aristocratic Sophomores scored a big success in athletics. The boys took second place in basketball, defeated only by the juniors in the Final tilt. The girls carried off the championship of the girls' tournament and the class, in their appreciation, honored the two teams with a formal banquet. Nevertheless, finals and geomelry did not take up all our precious hours for there were social dramatic and athletic affairs which were successfull carried , I y out. There was a HVVICHQ roast at Kroeffer's farm and a Confetti Mas ue a 23 3 Y 7 Program party, and a Senior Reception given for the 1917 class. On May 19, a junior moonlight excursion was given. On jan. 26th, the class presented the junior plays, entitled, A'VVhen Love was Young and Cross I'urposes',. And now the wonderful family of eighteeners has crossed the last goal. VVe traverse the halls as learned and dignified Seniors worshipped by the awe-stricken little Freshies. Early in the fall the girls organized an Afterdinner Club and the boys, a Fellowship Club, meeting once a month. During Christmas vacation the Boys' Fellowship Club appeared in a Minstrel Show, with great success. Later in the spring the Girls' Afterdinner Club gave a matinee, presenting the Kleptomaniac, followed by dancing and refreshments in the gym. In March, the Fellowship Club entertained the Afterdinner Club at a dinner dance. The Afterdinner Club is to entertain the boys in May. The final triumph in dramatics resulted in the Senior play, given April 12th and 13th, when the class presented Contrary Mary . This fully proved that the Class of '18l' contains genuine dramatic talent. In the duration of our High School life the Class of 1918 has furnished a great many athletes to the various teams and has been honored this last year in having three of its members as captains of the football, basketball and track teams. And now that our four long years are nearly over, we look back over all the joys and sorrows that they contain with almost a regret that we are not Freshmen again just beginning our career. llut there is not much time to ponder over the past, for we are all busy with plans for the last few weeks and Class Day and Commencement. In the future may we always look back with joy to the days of the Class of 1918 when we were all together Uneath the old Maroon and VVhite.'l FLORIC-NCF1 TVICIQAIIIN, '18, 44 ,...............i........1..., X .lxs R :ot H521-YU, N S.

After undergoing a strenuous preparatory course at Camp VVash- ington, during the preceding year, we made our first attack upon the Height of Knowledge, at M. H. S. in 1915. We were raw recruits and in spite of the fact that we did possess enough gray matter in our respective craniums to get past that efhcient exemption board, We were sadly inexperienced. We were awed by the colossal stature and unlimited knowledge of the veterans in the ranks who were enrolled in the Senior Battalion. But we mustered our forces and elected our captains for that first campaign, they were Harry Fromme, Charles Ains- worth, Bertha Battles, and Carl Wilson. Oh, the perils and dangers that beset our path! Our brave little band was nearly routed, by a furious attack of sub- junctives, perfect participles and unknown quantities. After using up a goodly supply of ammunition, we forced the strongholds of Algebra and English to strike their colors. During that Hrst year we captured something like 40 to 50 credits, besides so1ne very welcome refreshments in the line of parties, etc. Our second campaign was also waged very successfully. lly this time, we began to acquire some of the commanding airs of our superior officers and to consider ourselves far superior to those little raw recruits in the Freshman llattalion, who were so totally ignorant of the methods of modern warfare, especially camouflage. Dur- ing the junior year the severest fighting has been in the vicinity of Forts Geome- try and English. At the former we nearly met our Waterloo at the hands of a very strong garrison composed of polygons, hexagons, pentagons, acute angles, and all sorts of wild, uncivilized looking forces. Several of our privates, Carl Wilson, Carl Alsene, Walter DeClcrk, and lrlarry Fromme, won distinction in the athletic field and have been decorated, not with the Iron Cross but with the I Earn Ill. Also Gladys Anderson, Florence liley and Pierre Long have won honor in the literary field. Some of our juniors even had the audacity to invade the ancient realm of William Shakespeare, and carry off some dramatic honors in the mlleeth of the Gift H orse , and Nance Oldelieldf' It has been a hard iight all along, but we have painted Diploma or Dief' on our proud banner of blue and gold, and are determined to be in the auditorium demanding indemnities, in the shape of a diploma, by the spring of l9l9. At that time I hope to write you this message, We came, we saw, we conquered. Yours truly, ' PRIVATE GIQNEVA l'1i'r121:soN, 'l9. Somewhere in M. H.

When we come to the page where our history begins we see a massive l92O in the very blackest print. This means an unusual class, a class that does things is going on record. As for athletics we ind these 4'Freshies,' have won third and first place in the girls' and boys' interelass basketball tournaments, and first place in track. VVe leave this closely written page and turn to the next leaf. VVhat! an- other page for this remarkable class? We see they are holding their own in athletics, for on the football team two men of this class won their M's and the same two men also won their letters in basketball. The class has proved themselves to be superior in Track, because they again get first place. Also, two men from this class have won their letters in Track. As we read on we find this class has advanced along literary linesg they now have two reporters on the Line-o'-Type and they had four representatives in the Declamation contest. What is this statement? Qh, it would not do to miss this. It says that this class has been Udoing its bitw in Red Cross work and army HY pledges. The next two pages are empty and silent. VVe close the book and walk slowly out, still under the spell of that almost magic record, and we wonder if the remaining two pages will be enough to hold this Class' history. p j1+3AN Son NBR, '2O. 53 l ee. 4 , N 1 Hum an moscow , im- 1, aw.

It is, Jerha as 11ot as interestinff as wllhe Perils of l'auline or HThe Hazards 7 D Y of Helen, but much of it is instructive. Tl1e Freshman reel is perhaps not as elaborate or interesting as the later ones, but it is rather necessary to the other three. This particular class of 1921 has made a very good beginning, we feel. The three l1L1I1ClI1CCl players are becoming sophisticated and outgrowing some of their 'fgreennessf' By the time we are Seniors we all expect to be professionals. The Freshman reel was IHOFC or less of an animated cartoon, especially the first few claysgwhen we got i11to the wrong room, bumped into Seniors, and embarked upo11 the stormy sea of Hhic-haec-hoes in Latin. Eighth grade was something of an introduction even for Seniors! In the local declamation contest Ethel Johnson won an lV1'l-which is probably the highest aim i11 every fI'CSl1111Z'llllS heart, Qafter beating tl1e Seniorsj The film of the Freshmen contains no injurious ingredients which the ce11sor will 11ot pass. Not of these Freshmen, anyway. The history of our class has not differed greatly from a11y other, so far, for we have had our blue shirt a11d midcly party like all the rest of them, but the first reel is never as exciting as the last ones. The Freshman life, is as much better than the years of school that come before it, as a movie is better than a stereopticon. Altogether, we predict that the film of the '21 class will be one of the best yet, after all four years are ground out. Uf course we mean no offense to the Seniors i11 saying this. Qh, no! llut there is nothing like blowing one's ow11 horn. E, CRA M PToN , '21. is re lt 'ii i 1. V 1, f 57 922 UANUARY DIVISIONJ 1 l A. XB 'X 'fl- 41 if fi f - -if' ll. mllilllv Q...

This little poem seems to have been taken as a motto by the whole of Moline lrligh School, but particularly by the members of the Red Cross. Every pupil has thrown himself into line behind President VVilson to help beat the Kaiser. A great number have bought Liberty llonds and contributed to the support of the Army Y. M. C. A., some of the boys have organized a cadet corps, as many more are doing splendid services in lloy Scout troops and about 60 of the others are going to spend their summer on farms helping to grow the food supply of the world, but perhaps the scene of the greatest activity has been the Moline High School branch of the local Red Cross chapter. The members of this organization have performed a multitude of various things to increase the comfort of our soldier boys 'fover there and aid in their care when hurt or sick. They have prepared a great number of the different kinds of bandages, knit sweaters, wristlets, and helmets, made nurses' caps, towels, and other hospital supplies, and put together scrap books for convalescent soldiers and homeless llelgian children. In fact they have done everything in their power for our army. The Red Cross activities in high school began late in October. At this time, when the girls were given a chance to enlist in the work, 350 responded to the call. Each one tendered her services for at least one afternoon a week to help the surgical dressings, knitting, or sewing branch. And since the hrst week in Novem- ber when classes began, each one of the departments has accomplished a vast amount of work. Following are the reports up to April 7. Under the direction of Miss Melin and Miss Entrikin, the sewing depart- ment has completed three dozen surgeons' helmets, fourteen dozen nursesl caps, nine dozen towels, and three hundred and ten trench caps. Two hundred sweaters, thirty-tive pairs of wristlets, three helmets, two afghans, and a scarf have been hnished by the knitting department. At the completion of the iirst hundred sweaters, just before they were sent to the boys, a most impressive parade of girls wearing their handiwork took place across the stage in the Auditorium. Miss Gettemy and Miss Moses have been at the head of this branch of the service. Under the direction of Miss Reynolds, twenty-six scrap books for con- valescent soldiers and llelgian orphans have been completed. The surgical dressings department under the leadership of Miss VVarner and Miss Rice has been very active. ln April, ll00 bandages had been turned out, and production was continuing at the rate of one hundred per week. The red crosses to wear upon the aprons, which are earned by thirty-two hours of work in the rooms, had been won by several girls.

H. Wood THE person who is chiefly re- sponsible for the success of the Moline teams on the gridiron, basketball floor and track, is no other that Coach A. H. VVood. Coming to Moline after being ath- letic director at Doane College, Crete, Nebraska, he immediately proceeded to turn out teams that were a credit to the school. Mr. Wood, a graduate of Alma College, Michigan, starred on all the athletic teams of that institution. He was considered as one of the best backfleld men in that part of the country. And on the basket- ball Hoor, he proved to be a danger to all opposing forwards. Coming to Moline a total 3 stranger, he quickly won the respect and support of the school. So en- thusiastic was the school over the new coach that at the first call for candidates for football over seventy en- thusiasts responded. He turned out a team that was able to say that it was un- defeated by any other team in the State of Illinois. In the basketball work, he developed a team from green material that was able to defeat our friends, the Davenporters. Only twice before in the history of the two schools has this feat been accomplished. Our champion, 1907 and 1916 teams being the other two to accomplish the feat. On Monday mornings, he would give a short but impressive talk of the game. He would begin with Well we are still undefeatedl' 4' X if Our opponents next arel' X if it 1 want you all to be at the game next Saturdayf' i Athletic Association OFFICERS WALI,ACE SWANSON, '18 . .. .............. ......

As a nucleus for the squad, Captain Mclielvey, Alsene, lfromme, VVil- son and DeClerk returned from last year's team. Every one expected a hard proposition to solve, when the eleven met thei' first opponents at Clinton on September 29, liut to the sad disappointment of the fans who accompanied the team, and of the team itself, Clinton offered practically no resistance to the Plow lioys' attack. -Xt the end of the '1drive the scorer produced 52 points for Moline and 52 less than that for Clinton. A week later on Oct. 6, the Maroon and VVhite warriors were introduced to local fans on llrowning Field, the first time in three years, when they bumped into their last yearls conquerers, Oalesburg. Not much was known of Galesburg's strength until the game had progressed long enough to find that at the end of the first half, neither team had scored. The team went back with lots of pep'l in the third quarter, and a pass, Sill to VVilson, gave Moline 7 points. ln the last period one of the visitors displayed the horseshoe by picking up a fumble and racing -10 yards for the touchdown that tied the game. On October 13, Captain Mclielvey led his gang to Kewanee, 'fthe home of the boilerl' and found that there was not much steam upf, A slow game was staged, which was very uninteresting to all the supporters. At the close of the contest Moline had pushed four touchdowns over, making the score 2770. The next time Mae journeys to Kewanec he is going to recommend that Mr. Claar go along, as it was necessary to call the game every few minutes and stage a debate to prove to the head linesmen that his lngersoll was slow and to the crowd that their place was not on the field. .i October 20 brought hard luck to the Monmouth ll. S. football team. Run- ning up a score of 55-O, the locals eradicated all hopes which the visitors might have had, of gaining fame on the gridiron. The Monmouthians, were small and seemingly inexperienced, however, they had the pep and never-quit-scrapping'' spirit. The visitors thought they were Hcopping the fruitl' when lllancke took his position in the back-field. They were forcibly convinced that such was not the case after a few minutes of battle. One brave lad endeavored to impede the path of said lllancke who was in the act of making an end run. The doctors saizl that he was not hurt seriously. lle ought to shake hands with himself. On October 27, Moline got one more hand on the Abraham cup by wallop- ing Rock Island to the tune of 29-O. The game was played on a muddy field and consequently was slowed up a great deal. The score does not indicate that VVood's warriors had it soft -as the lads from over the border fought hard 66 ,QTZII5 .1 . 12111 iiarefmmmmef is in wi1mt.f.Git2ai.21.sgLt,t m ... s i 1 9 18 owns? r... e 'N ZII' uqzzzuz :QV 5 fipw::iw2'mi1i1mitim1.mi:m2Lm,1Eliliiliiilliiiillii u p ts. ff all the way. ln the third quarter Mclielvey showed some speed. Battles inter- cepted a forward pass and started for a touchdown but on the 50-yard line Mac's long arms wound around his legs, which hindered liattles a great deal. ln the last quarter Fromme 'hoofed' it 75 yards on an intercepted pass for the fourth touchdown. Fifteen players earned their A'lV1l' in this game. Sterling an undefeated team and strong contenders for state championship were our guests on November 3. McKelvey's gang, full of conlidence over the result of the Rock 1sland game did not realize that they were up against a real football team until after the first half. ,lletween halves, Coach VVood predicted that Sterling would make two touchdowns, which they did. The boys were also warned that they would have to play fifty per cent better ball the last half, to come out on top and they heeded the coachis warning. Sterling must receive credit for producing the snappiest and smoothest running aggregation that has appeared against the ljloy Boys so far this season. Fromme, who made every point for Moline, intercepted a pass and traveled 60 yards for a touchdown. An ideal day, a good crowd, two strong teams, and a 27-21 victory made this game the best that has been seen in local H. S. circles in a long time. November 19 brought the Springfield team to Moline. They had the reputation but the goods were badly lacking. The capital city lads gave Coach Wootl's splinters no opposition, with the result that the locals ran up the biggest score of the season. That the legislators had some material was evi- dent in the two ends, but team work was conspicuously absent. Ninety-nine yard runs were not overly spectacular in this game as anything seemed possible. Had some athlete hurdled the goal post the spectators might have been thrilled. but anything short of this was not exciting. Our HTurkey' day battle with Davenport was a disappointment to the fans this year and the less said about it the better. We were defeated by a better, faster, and more smooth-running aggregation to the tune of 41-6. That realiza- tion is our consolation. However, we can all rest assured that Davenportls superiority over the l'low Lads was not proportional to the score. Vylith eight letter men returning to school next fall, Moline should be rep- resented with a team of excellent caliber. Of the men who have engraved their names upon the athletic hall of fame this year, we lose by graduation Captain McKelvey, Butzer, Trowbridge, Swanson, Axell, and Crampton.

Such was his popularity. Liked by all the fellows, he soon had them working in one accord, and with his superior athletic ability he quickly produced a team that our school backed to the limit. HAROLD MCKELVEY, '18, Captain, Mac .... Tackle For two seasons Mac has played a whirlwind game, and it was largely through his able generalship this year, that the season was a successful one. Although burdened with the captaincy, Mac proved to be the iron man of the line. The Davenport game marked the end of Mac's career as a member of the Moline High School football team and he surely will be missed next fall. HARRY FROMME, '19, Butch',, Hosford . .Full Back Wlieii number 39 was called, one could see Butch go tearing through the line for a good gain, especially in the Turkey Day tilt. Fronime showed no mercy on his brother Dutchmen in the final game, carrying two and three men on his back every time. Harry has wonderful prospects of making a great cap- tain next season. MERRILL TROVVBRIDGE, '18, Curses ....... Guard Curses,' our giant, was always on the job when a hole for our backneld was necessary. Curses was a great defensive player, always bringing the man down with a clean, hard tackle. Merrill's shoes will be hard to fill as he is lost by graduation. 68 i X mmnaaiilttlsiiiimmliiziz 1-2Q'A - -IZ2 -vbb 1- 1 - - 2- A2 siiitslituiuisitiissaiaisiiaeiss 1 Q3 1 I-L 1 ,1:.. .1.- .. :1.. - ,,.:. .. i ta mfmr '::'-1 WALTER DECLERK, '19, I-Belgiumy' ..... Quarter Back Although chief organizer for the Fraternal Order of Border Hikers he never let his 'Kbusiness' interfere with his football ability. Ilelgium'sl' ability as a forward passer made that play a favorite one for the team, and a disastrous one for our opponents. We wonder why Walt,' never wore a headgear nor shoulder pads. DeClerk played his last game on Thanksgiving Day. WALLACE SWANSON, '18, Wallie ............ End '6Wallie', played right end the whole season, playing every minute in every game. Wallie,' was deadly on forward passes, nabbing one or more in every game. Moline's only touchdown in the Davenport game was accomplished by Wallace via the air route. Wallie will be lost by graduation. ALBERT CRAMPTON, '18, Bud ............ Tackle Throughout the entire season, Bud fought hard and furiously every min- ute, opening big holes and downing his opponents. Bud was never known to let his adversaries get the best of him. Albert played his first and last year for Moline. ARNQLD AXELL, ,lS, Oney ...........,.... Center This youngster stepped out in his senior chapter, gained possession of the middle portion of the line and developed into one of the-strongest cogs in it. Oney has done his last bit for the Maroon and White in football, as he receives his release in a short time. 69 9 ' 1 ,:.1AQ ..,. , i Alv A.

Half Back Cullie,s open field running, his hard tackling, combined with a lot of fight, made him a man who was respected by his opponents at all stages of the game. His punting was excellent, pulling the team out of many tight situations time and again. Carl has played his last game for the Maroon and Wl1ite. CARL WILSON, ,l9, Cullie', .................... End Cullie's middle name is consistency. On punts Carl was down on his opponents almost before the ball, much to the distress of many a backheld man. At breaking up the interference and receiving passes Cullie could always be counted on. LEROY HO YT, 'l9, .......................... Tackle More will be heard of him next year. VVhen Hoyt gets his mitts on an opponent it's 'itapsn for the opponent. A man who can gain through his tackle, isn't a man, he's a Utankf' 'lfhis man has another year behind the gates which is certainly a pleasant prospect. ALFRED BUTZER, '18, 'tButz ............ Half Back Although hampered by a bad ankle, Butz played a good consistent game all season. Wlieiiever called upon, he would deliver the goods. l'Butzl' was a good open field runner and to see him go twisting down the field o11e would think he was caught in a whirlwind. Butzer will be lost by graduation. 70 J' l si e 5? 2 PVI' 1Q 'A' 'iii'i 'Filillill l llli l illlfmmlmfmmmmi l 51531-l l ii i liilill lf' ,.. .... 1 9 I 8 1 qzulz .,.' ailllllllllllllldlllllllllllillllllidlllkm:1::m1xQmmrm1Qlllilllllllllillllllillmilllllllllll. .- ,,,--, a s .1--.'--- .- Nam.

Guard '5Small, but oh, 1Tly, how powerful ll' is what l3abe's opponent would say after the game. Ham was on the job ever minute and opened big holes in the line when necessary. Hamilton will have two more years to battle for Moline on the gridiron.

A better open held I'L11ll1CY probably never graced a Moline uniform. This 'lk1d was a favorite with all alike, and we are sorry to hear that he will not be in school next semester. LEO SILL, '20, Vernie,', Lethin,' ........ lflalf Back VernieU was the pass word for two positions, half back or quarter back. He fought hard and furiously every min11te while in the fracas. f'Lethin', has a strong ar1n for forward passes and if he continues to improve as rapidly next season, his services will be indispensable for Moline. 71 Mc..

The only experience possessed by Crampton, Conrey, Wilsoii, Green and Sill, was acquired through the inter-class tournament held annually. This was the proposition which Coach Wood was up' against. The locals pried off the lid of the basketball season by meeting Davenport on the Iowans' floor on January 18. Moline fought hard and held the enemy nearly even the first half, but was unable to overcome the basket shooting ability of Midge', McKeever, and the game ended with the score of 29 to 9, with the Iowa lads on the heavy end. The very next day Moline invaded East Moline and gave the East Moliners some fme points of the game. The score resulted in a win for Moline by the score of 34 to 18. On january 26, Moline journeyed to Galesburg in high hope of defeat- ing the aggregation of that city. Galesburg, however, defeated the Plow Boys by the score of 30 to 17. On February 1, Moline and Rock Island engaged in a battle on Moline's floor. By superior team work and basket shooting the Islanders forced a de- feat on the Plow Boys by the score of 23 to 16. The next game was played on the home floor with Galesburg High School. It looked as though the Moline team had struck its stride, for the visitors were clearly outplayed, but Galesburg managed to nose out the locals in the last few minutes. The final score was 28 to 26. This was a hard pill to swallow, but the rapid improvement of the team since the initial game gave hope for the future. Moline lost its fourth consecutive game on February 16, this time to Mon- mouth. Monmouth succeeded in placing 25 points in their column, while the Plow .lloys were forced to be satisfied with 21. The gloom which settled down on the basketball fans was intensified the following day, when Cambridge was our guest. If the villagers had played without 'fStiers,'l or if Moline had been able to use her full strength, X it it but what's the use of speculating? Cam- bridge won by the score of 34 to 21. February 21, marks the day on which Moline broke its losing streak. Mon- mouth was forced to bow to the locals on the Monmouth floor by the score of 28 to 15. On February 23, Moline accomplished a feat which had been achieved only twice before in the history of the school, once in 1908 and again in 1916. Moline 20, Davenport 14. Next followed the district tournament at Galesburg. According to dope, Moline would not have a look in, as she was represented by a team that had suffered many defeats, but Wallie and his crew went into the games with a determination to win, and upset all dope by going into the semi-fmals with our friends, Rock Island. Moline defeated Macomb Normal University High in the first game by the score of 31 to 27. This victory was accomplished through hard fight and good teamwork. The next day Avon fell before the onslaught of the locals. The hnal score was 69 to 15. Rock Island put Moline out of the running in the semi-finals, by the score of 35 to 19. Moline met Cambridge in the fight for third place and avenged the defeat of Feb. 23, by a score of 33 to 29. Thus ended the tournament and the season, as the return game with Rock Island was forfeited to us. Of this year's team, only thre will graduate,-Captain Swanson, Crampton and Conrey. Next year's team will be built around Green, Sill and VVilson. 72 will QQQ X 911121511 1111 113121115113 M w HH H N Ewmiilll1125115llllllllSlfliilziililzllilf,Sf 3 K WEEK Q W Sig I g 1 8 EgE 5953533555553 Til ll 1 l za he xi Wmweseww lll 11341111 l1lN1kll11ll?

Witlioiit him our total of markers would be much lower, for Ulludl' was sure there when it came to Utoss- ing 'em in and was the high scorer of the tournament. His absence will be keenly felt next year. CARL WILSON, '4Cullie'l ,.................... Guard At the close of the 'l6-'17 season there passed from the school Moline's stone-wall garrison and the outlook of reconstruction was rather dark. However, the younger brother came into the limelight and if there is anyone who says that it is easy to shoot baskets with Cullie on your neck, he hasn't played opposite him. As a regular all season, he came up to Rudie's standard, which is going some. Helll be back. KENNETH CONREY, Ken,' .............., Forward Alien made his initial bow to the basketball fans in the Hrst Rock Island game and sure made a hit with the girls. 'fKen,' was a blue streak on the floor and death on baskets. Although lacking in weight he was either crawling under or dodging around his opponent for Moline's much needed two points. IIAMILTON GREEN, l'Babe ................. Guard This underclassman rather 'istepped outi' in athletics this year. On both the football and basketball teams he held down the guard position very effectively, but in the Avon game, he looked more like a whirlwind forward the way be rang those baskets in the first few minutes of play. Hliabe' will strengthen the team greatly next year. LEO SILL, Verne,' ..................... . .... Guard 'fVerne started the season at guard but on account of his studies he was laid up for awhile tplease explainj. However, he came back and whenever Coach VVood needed a good safety man, Leo was on the job. Two more years for this soph will help us out. 75 l 4 , gi Q fsdw 1 ..2:AV .y.4,, .1 . . 1. .. , ., . 1 . .

Drawings for places brought the juniors against the Freshmen and the Seniors against the Sopliomores. Q11 Wecliiesclay, the first game of the tournament, the extremes emerged from the battle victorious. The Freshmen by a last minute rally trimmed the juniors by the score of 15 to 14. The Seniors had an easy time disposing of the Sophomores, the final score being 11 to 4. VVhen the Seniors played the Freshmen and the juniors met the Sophoniores, the juniors were entirely elimi- nated by a score of 17 to 14, and the Seniors earned the right of going into the iinals Without further com- petition. The Seniors had no easy time with the first year students, winning the game by the close score of 11 to 10. Qn the following Monday, the Sophomores and Freshmen met in the semi-finals. It was a battle from beginning to end but the Fresh- men's endurance helped them Win out. The Hnal score was 26 to 24. The iinal game aroused much interest, a large crowd being on hand to witness the tilt. As tl1e game progressed it was clear that the Freshies had the better of the argument. The Seniors tried in vain to overcome the lower class- men's lead but were unsuccessful in , their attempts. Wlieii the iinal whistle was blown, the Freshies had won the lioys' Interclass tourna- ment of the M. li.. S. The final score ended with the count of 12 to 7. W. Heine Gus Thornbloom E. Wriglit C.

With a team of veterans working as a single, well oiled machine, they displayed real championship caliber, even superior to that which gave them the championship in the 1916 tourney. They decisively defeated every other team. The three other quintets waged a hot light for sec- ond place. Indeed, it was folly to try to pick the victor of the trio beforehand. Competition was of the 'fneck and neck brand until the very last day, with one overtime game, and two where only one point separated the winner from the loser. But when the suspense was over the Freshmen found themselves in the lead followed by the juniors and Sophomores in the order given. The first whistle shrilled on February 7, to announce the initial game which was to be contested by the juniors, and the representatives of the first year class. Excitement ran higher and higher as the game progressed and the winner could not be picked, but at the end of the thirty minutes the score was 12-11. with the juniors in the lead. The same day the Champs succeeded in snowing the Sophs under by a large score, and at the following session treated the juniors in the same manner. But the day was not devoid of excitement, for the two lower classes battled to a tie, necessitating a prolongation of the time. From this the Freshies pulled out ahead, eliminating the Sophs from further competition by the score of 14-13. And following this win the lower classmen were able to suc- cessfully silence the championship claims of the juniors by treating them to an ignominious defeat. llut the last game of the tournament proved all the work of the Freshmen of no avail. The smooth-running team of the Seniors walked right away to victory and the championship of 1918. For the first time in the history of Moline lfligh School girls received school emblems for participation in athletics. The members of the winning team and four others, judith Anderson '19, Dorothy Christopher '20, and Virginia Paul '21, were the ones to receive the coveted HM . 78 1 4 e e Q I IIIIQZA .III i- .b if mi f ul mxxmmimm ziiwigiig i, W 3- ? ?3 i? ig I 9 1 S ww .

K A . , , . e Track Season, 1918 The Moline High School track men have just completed a highly satis- factory and encouraging season. Not for several years has such interest been exhibited in this branch of athletics. The past few seasons have borne a decidedly gloomy aspect for the artists of the cinder path. Conditions really began to change for the better last year when a brand new field, Browning's, made workouts easy and when Coach Miller with his illimitable knowledge and good sense, was back of the team encouraging the every effort of the boys. Under the fostering hand of Coach Woocl, interest in the cinder track was revived with even greater enthusiasm than in 1917. And the first event of the season the Interclass Indoor Track meet, March 25 and 26, did not disappoint the expectant onlookers. High class work, hard finishes, and heart rending competition were present throughout. When the last smoke of the fray had cleared away, and points had been counted and recounted, the Sophs found themselves in the lead with 40 points, one more than the num- ber rung up by the Seniors. The Juniors were following not so far behind with a total of 30, but the Freshmen had been left out in the cold with eight lonely markers. Wliartoii and Casady proved themselves the individual point winners of the meet and together walked off with more markers than all the rest of the entries. The sensation of the day was the way f'Mac,' managed to skin the bar for a victory in the running high. As there was no outdoor inter-school track competition in the state on ac- count of the action of State Athletic officials, the climax of the season was the Tri-City Indoor meet at Augustana, April 6. Although our boys came out 7 points behind the winner, they put up a good, hard fight, and restored the reputa- tion of the Maroon and White in regard to track. All members of the team worked together to mark up tallies, ten of them succeeding in annexing some. The contest was interesting from start to finish and the onlookers were sur- prised time and again. Probably the greatest excitement was produced when Cully Wilsoii, a man with no experience at all, succeeded in stepping off the 220 so as to come in ahead of several veterans. Four men, Captain VVharton, Wilsoii, Casady and Haley won their letters by capturing five or more points. Eight members of the squad will form a nucleus for a strong team next year. 80 K l 1 E f .': ff .- .M nik Q.:-1-3 gfsnv - - main-M'-H' l 4 1 N 1 l 1 1 x fi 1 -1 1 4 2 1 1 E lzlzz :QVV ,,:: E ia ei t i iiiii i 'io tm,KXA1.m,m5i?iifii'i i i i?

The battle waved b the contestants was sha y . 4 b a y 1 a rp and Fierce, showing clearly the high grade work which Moline High School can produce. It was only after much deliberation on the part of the judges that Albert Cram Jton with his selection, The Son Thou Gavest Me , was awarded the first 1 1 1 place and the honor of representing the Maroon and Wliite at Galesburg.

It was not without a most determined struggle that Davenport won this year's Boys' Declamation contest. The team which attacked the foe in his own land con- sisted of Albert Crompton, Raymond Cowley and Fritiof Fryxell and though they were beaten, the home defenders, or Merrill Trowbridge, Glen Buck, and Russell VVharton, held the big end of the score, winning from Davenport. 82 i ' i s w x ii ,.:: 5 :::, ..,.- ,,,.

The struggle was unusually keen and interesting, giving evidence of the work to which the dcclaimers and their most able coach, Kate Yourex, had put themselves. Edith Young with her humorous, yet pathetic rendition of 'fGame In Com- edy , was decided winner and Molinels representative in the llig Eight contest held in Rock Island. Wllile Miss Young received third place in the llig Eight her work deserves much credit, and those who heard her at Rock Island declared that her interpretation was even better than in the local contest.

The question debated this year was: Resolved, That The Government Should Own and Operate the Railroadsf' The subject was most ntting and timely since interest in the aforementioned resolution has been so vital. Davenport's orators succeeding in convincing the judges on their home floor, but not so here, for one very weak point in their rebuttal caused their downfall. Mr. Claar, coach, made his first call for tryouts Friday, january eleventh, in the Auditorium. The members of the squad as picked and announced by Coach Claar, were: Eugene Johnson tcaptainl, Barbara Garst and Donovan Taze for the negativeg and Albert Crampton Qeaptainj, joseph Walker and Pierre Long, for the affirmative. Alternates were Harold Freeman, affirmative, and Clarence Bendle, negative. The team and alternates at once set themselves to work devouring books and pamphlets on the question until all thoroughly understood the subject. As a re- sult, Moline produced a team of which she may well be proud. The regular team members will receive an MH in the schoolls appreciation of their efforts. Wliile Moline's affirmative team went down to defeat on Rock Island's plat- form on the evening of March fifteenth, they were unfortunate in being on a strange floor which merely goes to prove they were only victims of circumstances and not that they lacked in ability. The neffative sta ed at home to u hold their school's fame and it was their as Y P quick, decisive come-back in their rebuttal which saved the day for Moline. Next season should see ffreat im rovement in the work for more and more Z5 is debating becoming a part of the school's corriculum. No little credit is due to Coach Claar's untiring efforts. 85 memes, fame A.V, lg I 9 I 8 Qsss sssswg ....i l 1 f 1 1 .,.: s s The Line-o'type March 13, 1917, the nrst issue of the high school paper was published, under the auspices of the Senior Fellowship club and the English department, The need of the paper had long been felt but it was not until Ferdinand Elclean, an experienced newspaper writer, in connection with Mr. E. ll. Nutting and Miss Julia Gettemy conceived the idea, that it actually materialized. Six issues were printed last year and in September the remainder of the staff came together before the opening of school and prepared copy so that an issue was published the first week of school. Since then it has been issued reg- ularly every fortnight. Early in the year it was officially decided to have no advertising section as this would detract from the annual, but instead keep for a time to the smaller sheet. From time to time during the year the staff has been enlarged until now each class has its own reporters who make it their special work to give the paper all the class news. A special feature of the class issues was inauguarted at the beginning of the new term. Four issues have been turned over to the classes, one to each, and in each issue appear articles written by or pertaining to the members or interests of that class. Don Taze and joe Vlfalker are editors-in-chief, Charles Ainsworth, business manager, Clarence llendle, subscription manager. Ken Conrey looks after ex- changes, and Elizabeth VValker covers society notesg l'ierre Long, Helen Could, Geneva Peterson, and Clarence Paul report for 1919, Russell Lund for 1918. Dorothy Merriman, Raymond Cowley for 1920, and Edith Crampton, Russell Simmons for 1921. Miss 'lulia Gettemy as faculty advisor, oversees the work of all departments. The last issue of the year will be the Senior issue and will contain class day numbers, Never before have they been preserved in print. 86 lllilililillliliillliiiill K5'm'feK'l3UUFql1iil3iillliiilil illlillllllilillr 'fi' S!lFSZlllllTll?iliillE'?l'EllElfRl'll rim mm N.-wmiffillfli Wifi iii? iElFiil'lTlTllil?U E9 A,.:1w , E,2,:.,:.,Z.,, A N.

Each member of the cast personified his part in a most creditable manner ann the rounds of applause that constantly greeted the players amply demonstrated the great hit the production made with the audience. The success of the venture is due in a great measure to Mrs. L. B. Canter- bury, coach, whose untiring efforts and unfiagging enthusiasm inspired the cast with so much vim and '6l'ep , that the play re-echoed with it. Albert Crampton and Margaret Richards in the leading roles of John and Mary Erwin, respectively, carried the audience by storm with their realistic impersonations. Phyllis Chapman as Teresa Murphy, the privileged cook and Irene Jensen as Swedish janitress, gave one other a close race as finding the most favor with the audience and indeed their lirst meeting was worth the price of admission. Clarence lilendle played the part of a rising young lawyor in a most creditable manner, displaying much tact and ingenuity in bringing john and Mary together. Edith Young as Barbara Drew, Mary's most intimate friend, was a true irre- sponsible Iiohemian and Russell VVharton as Mr. Trowbridge, Mary's father, most satisfactorily'carried the role of the hen-peeked husband, who, in his first taste of freedom from the rule of his strong minded wife encounters untold difficulties. Eugene johnson as Fairfield Fairfield Stevens was the bored blase New York society man constantly in hunt of new sensations. Miss jones, the dressmaker. portrayed by Barbara Garst. made all indeed feel the necessity of appearing on time for fitting appointments, A great deal of credit must also be given to the four draymen, Clarence An- derson, Wztllace Swanson, Harold McKelvey, and Don Taze. The way these huskies' not only handled the baggage during the play, but also their work be- hind the scenes helped make the play a success. Thanks are also due our scene shifters and property nien for their untiring efforts although they made no appearance behind the foot-lights except at the cracks in the scenery. f'Contrary Mary is a short sketch dealing with a modern difficulty that young couples frequently have. That is, the determining of the wife's allowance. 89 i s 6 'A ': 'lil M 1 2 ,,.A H '1LI :lli '- 1: Q -- iiil-iiiiHiiiHi-i- tiiiiillii it I E1 18 -' ,g , 1: -: ' i llllilllllll lil? itll fillilll llllll Hgmizwiimlwgmiic ,:1:- . ,1:: , Tllllilili?lllllii'lilllillill'll'lE'lill' 2 N ,.:111:::E, :,,:::?i:EEA,,:..::: , ACT l.

The Minstrel proper was preceded by the sketch HCoon Town Thirteen Club, coached by Professor Oppenheimer. This scored a tremendous hit with the audience and put them in the best possible humor. J. Dishwater Black-Potter is making ready for the meeting of the Thirteen Club and many and humorous are his remarks, giving the audience a fair idea as to the character of each of the Charter band members. Upon the arrival of all each takes his place and nervously awaits the time when the roll shall be called and dinner begun. After each has eaten his fill amid no little sparring and an occasional scrap they are pompously reminded by O. Vkforthington Butts-VVharton of the solemnity of this momentous meeting or in other words why udis heah club were come together. According to rule, dice are passed around-the one who draws the black die is doomed to death. A true death-like stillness invades the room and each one, drawing a long breath, takes his turn. Each is so happy congratulating himself upon being so lucky, that they do not see the victim until he attempts escape. He is brought up stand- ing and only by a clever turn of words does he save himself. Bjorklund, Kautz, Bendle, Johnson, Alsene, and Mattson as end men in -the minstrel program, drew laugh after laugh from the audience, and Mattson with his ditty, VVho Made the Kaiser, scored a never-to-be-forgotten hit. The solo- ists, Fryxell, Trowbridge, Crampton, Conrey and Taze with the quartette, Lioen, johnson, Kautz and Alsene, were brought to their feet again and again by the loud calls for encores. Phil Lioen as musical director and Prof. G. M. Benson, accom Janist are to ! ? be congratulated upon the wit and humor instilled into the Minstrels and upon the manner in which it was produced.

The Kleptomaniac Three years ago the Senior girls organized their club, The After Dinner Clubf' and two years ago they produced their first matinee hoping that all coming classes might approve of the idea and make it an annual affair. The idea was received with much enthusiasm, and this year's organization chose as their mati- nee the play, The Kleptomaniacf' by Margaret Cameron. It is a play of the present day, well protraying what might happen to any woman in like cir- cumstances. l T Miss Burton upon returning home from a concert discovers that her purse containing her rings and a large amount of money is missing. At the suggestion of her intimate friend, Mrs. Valerie Chase Armsby, it is decided that Mrs. Burton has had her pocket picked, and that this job was done by a well dressed woman who sat next to Mrs. Burton at the concert. Distracted, Mrs. Burton relates all the details of the afternoon to each of her friends who call, and they in turn excitedly offer Well-meant advice. After notifying police, reporters, and detec- tives, the purse is happily found in the lining of Mrs. Burton's coat. Mrs. john Burton .....,...............................

VVhen one recalls the lim- ited facilities of years ago our present organ- ization, including as it does two choruses, two large glee clubs, an orchestra and a band, shows the advancement made in this branch of school activity. The first semester opened with a rather gloomy outlook for our musicians, and for .1 time things were quite discouraging. Theie was a new supervisor, many places were va- cant in the different organizations, a number of the prospective musical pupils were at tracted by other school activities. Indec I things looked exceedingly dark. But our new supervisor, Miss Heineman, who had just hnished a period of service in Detroit, Michigan, soon started things moving in the right direction, younger students were found to fill the vacant places, and there was manifested an intense interest in musical affairs in general and the music department of Moline Higli school in particular. 'lily the end of the Hrst semester and the beginning of the second things were running in the usual smooth and orderly fashion. Thr choruses, for the handling of which there have been provided such complete facilities in this building, had made remarkable progress. And at the present time, although the majority of their members are girls and a few more boys won, I be joyfully welcomed, this branch of the department bids fair to make a name for itself. lly the beginning of the second term, Miss lrleineman with a great deal of effort had gathered up the fragments of the glee clubs and molded them into two compact organizations which, when called upon to perform, could acquit themselves very creditably. Shortly after this date, the first appearance of our new band proved a welcome surprise to all, while the high school orchestra had been working away since September, playing whenever its services were needed. And from that time on hopes have been rising ever higher. Every one of the different branches has developed to a remarkable extent in the last four months. The cantata. 6'Legend of Nacoocheew which was staged by the musical department turned out to be a great success, comparing most favorably with the two operattas, 'fSylvia, and l'Bulbul,,' presented by the music department in former years. Indeed the reception granted its production practically assures the fact that something of the sort will be an animal event in the Moline High School. 97 ,aim .Q . glwiw . . .. ., - ,. .., , , . .

The whole number applied themselves to such good effect that many favorable comments upon the rendition of their selections greeted their initial appearance which took place at the Girls' Declamation con- test. The popularity of their work this year has been much enhanced by the addif tion of several new and highly attractive pieces to their repertoire. Members of the two glee clubs played the leading roles in The Legend of Nacoochee, a cantata given by the music department, and acquitted themselves very creditably. And for the first time the glee clubs entered the realms of society this year. They entertained jointly with the Orchestra late in the fall semester, and again on April 19, they acted as hosts to their friends. The boys organized early in the fall with the election of the following officers: Clarence llendle, pres- identg joseph Wallcer, vice-president Qresignedj 5 Raymond Cowley, secretary.

An exceedingly large number of students were desirous of trying out for the Club this year, but by two weeks after the opening of school, our new musical director, Miss Heineman, had all selected and working hard to surpass the achievements of the girls of the year before. At the first public appearance December 12, when several numbers were presented at the Local Boys' Declama- tion contest, the club scored a marked success, and the public has greeted its further efforts with just as much satisfaction. The Girls' Glee Club for this year has the honor of having a larger enroll- ment than any other organization of a like character in the history of Moline High School. It counts as its members forty-five girls. Organization was effected October 17, when Mildred Frost was chosen president, Nannette Geer, vice-president and Irene Strecd, secretary-treasurer.

Senior Fellowship Club Senior Fellowship Club has just completed one of the most successful of its three years of existence. During this period it has attracted more of the boys to attend regularly than ever before cared for the club. lt has maintained the high ideals of its two predecessors and has come to really mean something to its members, to fill an important place in the life of the Moline lligh School. The club was organized primarily for the purpose of promoting good fellow- ship and sociability among its members. And in the 1918 Fellowship the aim has been reaehedg the senior boys have grown to understand each other and have become a single, closely knit organization, all working together in every undertaking. This spirit of unification produced a remarkable effect in the staging of the Minstrel show january 2 and 3. Although it has been said of the two pre- ceding Minstrel shows that they 'scouldnit be beatfl that of the Class of 1918 is generally admitted to have outshone all former efforts. Under the coach- ing of Phil Lioen, the boys staged a complete linancial and theatrical success. All who attended the entertainment. made possible by the prohts of the Minstrel, at which the senior boys were the hosts of the girls said they had never had a better time. A banquet by Miss Vlfeckcl and dancing to the accom- paniment of t'Skinner's Peppy Five, hlled the evening with pleasure. The Fellowship Club will long be remembered by the boys of the 1918 class, when they go out into the stormy sea of life and will always hold a place in their hearts, 102 .:,. .1 ' 1 lll . lllillil llL 'mN3m:ITm7IE'3H: iillilllgililllslllilllllillilllllllflll. l i' 'J' i . ,,,. m n U y Sp .,g.? ssjgs'sai.T ., q J X , V,,,V,qA:q 1 bzlqz A,,,1, ,,qA. f sfnitiiiiiiiimiraisiiimiafiiirsfss1,s.f.1,..rE,m-as rms,.fz.2isaiiiiiirrii:srsrriiiri.s zzli ,::q I Girls' After-Dinner Club In spite of the war and the numerous demands upon their time occasioned by it, the girls of the 1918 class have managed to get together every second Monday in each month to hold their After-Dinner Club meeting. But they have done more than thisg they have increased their membership to a larger number than ever before, and have carried on several additional activities. April tvventy-second came the big event of the After-Dinner Club year. This day the girls at their matinee, staged the comedy The Kleptomaniaefl lts presentation was greeted by highly appreciative applause from all who at- tended. Later in the afternoon the gymnasium was the scene of dancing. The proceeds of this matinee enabled the girls to entertain the boys of the senior class in a most enjoyable party one month later. But the After-Dinner Club gatherings have not been all play and no work, for at each meeting the girls have come together an hour before dinner and spent the time in Red Cross Work. A great deal has been accomplished by this scheme. The After-Dinner Club this year has become popular to every girl in the class. It has made its way into the hearts of all the members, uniting their thoughts and making them feel and act as a single unit instead of three score separate individuals. 103 I 1 K - I r 1 7?-A - ,-ff 44-.QWJZHW ri' K' ',7'f0-?,'fv'f f1 V7 ,f ffiiif' 9 11 fy, f ,gg wwf, 11 fk I rw . fm im.Q- ffyafivz WWA' IQ f ,brivqsglfiiwffswry , XMB .f 'Af W ,H V ' 'via' -:le , hx Fx - :iff-' W7 ' wifi , -.

As usual there was a good crowd and the same kind of spirit. Dancing was the chief diversion, a splendid three-piece orchestra furnishing the music. One of the features of the evening was a very unusual but touching contest between Mr. Bug and Mr. Pug, better known as Russell Wharton and Eugene johnson, Hone hundred bucksf' being the prize. Hot Dogsl' and coffee were the Heats. Mr. Claar and Miss Cronander acted as chaperons. On November 16th, the Senior class made itself firm with the members of the faculty by entertaining them at a party on said date. All gathered in the auditorium where a musical program was presented by members of the class. Later. all adjourned to the gym where ice cream and wafers were served and dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. The class was especially honored by the presence of little Dorothy Taggart, the faculty baby. Dorothy enjoyed the dancing and refreshments as much as anyone, At the Senior Masquerade on March 9, there was no class or race of people slighted. Uncle Sam, Red Cross Nurses, Gypsies, Spaniards, clowns and tramps. Mac McKelvey caused quite a thrill of excitement for a while, when he appeared with a sweet blonde. No one was able to recognize her, but she turned out to be Russell Wliartoii. We all knew Midge Engstrom was patriotic, but we saw it stronger than ever at this party, for she took the prize in 'fHit the Kaiser. Margaret Richards and Florence Kronstedt pleased with a dance. Late in the evening refreshments of chocolate sundae and cake were served. Due to the great financial success of the Minstrels, was the fact that the Senior girls were guests of honor at a banquet given by the Senior boys. It started off with a banquet at which Miss Weckel did herself justice. Skinner's Peppy Five were there to play while you ate and for dancing later in the gymnasium. After the banquet a little oratory was given by the chaperons, Misses Graham and Anderson and Mr. Sagen and by several of the boys themselves. Later adjournment was made to the gym, where they danced until a late hour. 1919 Like the Seniors, the Junior class also took advantage of vacation week on Dec. 19, and had a 'fhowling good party. Mr. and Mrs. Nutting chaperoned the large crowd which turned out. There were several interesting contests intermingled with games and dancing. At a late hour, ice cream and cake was served. The Junior class was booked to appear once more this semester in the social world. This time it was a masquerade. Every sort of costume, from the fancy dress down to the clown and hobo, was there. After they unmasked, dancing and games occupied the happy crowd until eleven o'clock, the hour allotted to the Juniors. However, the crowning feature of the evening was the refreshments. There were baked beans, hot Boston Brown Bread, and other eats. 1920 Lots of pepl' was shown at the first Sophomore party of the year. On the evening of October 2, a big crowd of husky Sophs appeared for a general good time. Games of such character as Three Deep and 'fSkip to My Lou were participated in. There were two Grand Marches and the repast of ice cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. NVood were chaperons. 105 rimmirmrm miirmirm- iiiiiiitiisfarrirffiria ' C -VAEV ,,.. .. .1.. .. ,.,. . L ,,,.,.

But when they proved to be nothing more or less than Messrs. Crakes and Davis, all fear was for- gotten and a general good time ensued. Games, dancing, and eats amused the crowd until ten-thirty, the allotted hour for Sophs. The Sophomore class is a npeppy bunch. If you doubt it, you should have gone to their party on the fifth of April. There was an enormous crowd and not one Hwallfiowerf' They had a real live orchestra and dancing. For those who did not dance, there was a peanut hunt, games, such as Skip to My Lou, Drop the handkerchief et cetera. 1921 This year's Freshman class is certainly an original bunch. It departed from the long- standing precedent of opening freshman class activities with a Hard Times party. In- stead they had a real Social Gathering. Games were played during the evening, but danc- ing seemed to be the favorite pastime. It was really amazing to see how nearly every one of the lads appeared with a young lady. As this was the youngsters first experience, the party closed about ten o'clockwith refreshments of ice cream and cookies. The Freshmen drew a large bunch to their Hard Times party on Nov. 24. Dancing and games were the prescribed forms of amusement. Raymond Johnson and Mildred Nessley took the cake for best costumes. The grub of pop-corn and apples was under the supervision of Mr. Hoover. Late in the evening, some unbeknown person doused the glims for a few minutes, much to the delight of the Ufreshiesf' February sixteen was a big day for the little Freshies and Sub-Freshmen, for it was the day when the former were hosts and hostesses to the latter. There was a big crowd and a big time from beginning to end. Miss Lindvall and Mr. Gable were chaperons and were very lenie11t with the tots. Everyone enioyed refreshments of ice cream cones, for you know all small children and a few large ones like cones. FACULTY PARTY If you have never been a guest at a party of the faculty, you cannot realize what a good time they really have, or how they act up. This time it was a Christmas party and a regular Christmas dinner was the first attraction. Mr. Taggart acted as toastmaster, and we all know from experience that he is good at that. One corner of the gym had been fixed up cosily with a fire place and comfortable chairs and a big Christmas tree. While they were seated around here, Santa Claus came and gave each one a present for having been so generous with the little zeros. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The first party of the Music Department was held on Friday, Nov. 2. Games and danc- ing kept all who attended in good spirits. A cracker eating contest was held, and there were so many hungry people there, that they ate all the crackers before the chaperons, Misses Heineman and Guthrie and Messrs. Davis, Gabel and Ganet, even got a smell. So you'll have to guess what would have happened if they had. 106 N ' f s , i ::1 - QQ :I llllllilllhliltilltllitllllillltlyliil, S 1 p 1.
