A strong republic was established with equal suffrage for both men and women. In the first presidential campaign, Walter Heine was elected president and iHarriet Ransom, Vice-President. Cabinet members were Frank Stowe, Secretary of State, and Henry Ginkle, Secretary of Treasury. Of course the Pilgrims found a great deal of difficulty in overcoming the prejudices and well equipped armies of the other Nations that dwelt in this vast territory. But we must understand that while these people believed in honest en- deavors and had some strife with their neighbors, they were not primarily a warring nation but one that wished to enjoy life as they saw fit. The president was a very democratic man and believed that what was his should be shared with his people. So he threw wide the doors of his mansion and gave a brilliant Masquerade Ball. So ended the first year in the development of this nation. Chapter II Growth and Development It is in this year that we first see the beginning of a national literature. Heretofore, the '20's had been so busy developing their natural resources and building up their mental institutions that they had had no opportunity to turn to literature. Mr. Raymond Cowley was the first man in history to gain distinction among other Nations as a public speaker. The popular man of the hour was Mr. Hamilton Green who was elected to the presidency. Also in this important year our ally, f'The United States of America entered a great war. Believing it to be a righteous cause, our president Mr. Hamilton Green urged us to lend our assistance. Our great financiers willingly gave pecuniary aid, and our noble women came to the foreground with comforts and necessities for the soldiers. Chapter III Ascendancy The '20 Nation quickly came to be recognized by her neighbors as a nation of great power and a wealth of new ideas. 42 -F Q1-Q1 V1 h d HQD Our literary activities became the interest of not only our own but also of foreign countries. Our speakers figured in National and international debates over the advisability of having Universal Military Training. Mr. Cowley and Mr. Lewis Mahoney received medals in the Declamation and Extempore Speaking Contest respectively of eight of the great nations of the world. In the Foot-ball war which we waged against foreign countries in alliance with our three neighbors on the Moline High Continent, five of our men were awarded medals for bravery. In the Basket-ball skirmish soon after, two more soldiers of '20 distinguished themselves. For three years the republic had prospered and it was judged Fitting that they should have a National Exposition. All the choice dramatic talent was gathered together and exhibited in the form of the junior plays. The Exposi- tion was far more successful than the '20's ever dared hope, so arrangements were made to have one on a much larger scale the following year. Chapter IV Supremacy The Nation has had its growth. The earnest work of its founders and builders has not been in vain. The year of 1919 and 1920 are the most famous in the life of this country. Mr. Raymond Cowley was deemed the man most suited for carrying on the affairs of the nation. Mr. Barnard Casady was elected as his most able assistant. Mr. Harold Parsons as Secretary of State has made a good record and upheld our policy toward foreign Nations. Miss Dorothy Christopher who is much interested in welfare work has been an excellent Secretary of Treasury. Realizing that there is a great problem to be solved in bringing all classes of citizens together, the women formed an After-Dinner Club and the men a Fellowship Club. To gain funds to carry on their good works the Fellowship Club gave an exhibition of Minstrel talent and the women a large entertain- ment at which all the matinee idols of the Nation appeared. The '20 Vl7omen's Batallion for the third time in the history won a basket- ball championship over the other three nations in the interest of athletics for women. The greatest Exposition in the form of a play, f'Stop Thief ,ever held on the Moline High Continent was staged in the Auditorium in the year 1920. A great amount of ability had been collected from all over the country. Many foreigners as well as our citizens flocked to see this brilliant show. The Exposi- tion showed the finished product of a Nation that had attained to the highest pinnacle of success and prosperity. The '20 Nation will Conquer the VVorld!

The fireman, Harry Lovejoy, stoked the tires and the engineer, VVarren First piloted us majestically out of Central Grammar station. Kenneth Heider, the conductor, came around to collect the fares and was soon followed by Merritt Scott, the cub reporter for the Line O' Type, who was collecting data for the Hrst issue of that famous paper that year. The excursionists also brought their private secretary, Le Roy Johnston. The train rumbled along over the rugged rocks of learning, now and then upsetting some of the passengers. The first station was reached September 27, and a short stop was made while the excursionists held the proverbial blue shut and nnddyn pany. 'Twdce dudng the journey that hrst yean the trahi was Qde tracked because of a hot-box, otherwise known as the Flu. At the next station, Gymnasia, a short stop over was made while the ex- cursionists attended another party. Later a similar party was held at an- other stop. At the Hlnterclass Basket Ball station, the boys pulled in on the third track whife the girls were switched to the fourth. Here, Warren First and Bessie Stevens were decorated with basket ball 'fM's. After this the train glided along smoothly to Vacationville, wke'e the passengers stoppecl over to see the sights of this gay hdetropohs. Several ofthenirenuuned here After changing their guide books, the passengers again entrained. Warren First held his position as engineer with Milo Canter as fireman. Evelyn Frommader succeeded Kenneth Heider as conductor and Gail Strong was the private secretary. The train steamed along with more speed than ever. Several important stops were nnade for the passengers to attend pardes.

Louise: Who should say it would not be Hne to set forth the attractions of a circus? Norma: That is a good idea that loiters in thy mind. We might also stage a play. Now we shall leave, but at the rehearsal, I pray you, bear in mind where we must meet. Exeunt. Act I. Scene II. Enter two Sophomores. First Soph: These Freshman, how they weary me.

Enter three Freshmen. First Fresh: You say we do nought? Is it then unknown to you that both our boys' and girls' Basket Ball teams beat yours? I am afraid you are not loyal to the school since you were absent from the games. And know you not a Freshman girl won in the essay contest? Second Fresh: And forsooth did not Gertrude Lage win an M in Bas- ket Ball. And M. Schmidt playeth center in football. 59 Third Fresh: And the parties. at them even we shoxxed ability.

No less than sixty students answered the summons. Among the volunteers were found last year's veterans: Captain Ford, Clayton Pickup, Strange Reno and Maynard VVood, Paul Lundberg later joined the ranks. On Saturday, September 27, the team accomplished a feat of which they might well be proud for they defeated the Alumni team which was composed of past renowned warriors such as: Carl Alsene, Butch Fromme, Bill Hull and john Hodgson. This was the first time in years that a Moline High School team has been able to defeat the Alumni team. The team deserves a great deal of credit for the victory. The score was 13 to 7. The following Saturday they journeyed to Sterling. Here the team showed some good work, and defeated the Sterling squad with the final score of 39 to 0. The next Saturday the team and a loyal bunch of rooters landed at Ke- wanee, and succeeded in holding the Boiler City to a goose egg, while they scampered away with 33 points to their credit. The next page in the history of the football season is a sad one, and it is to be read rapidly. They were defeated by a heavier, speedier and more experi- enced football team. Peoria's team seemed more like a college team than a high school team. The result was that they made 60 points to Moline's O. On Saturday, October 18, with Wood and Lundberg still on the side lines, Moline was defeated by the fast Ottawa team. Our team fought like demons every minute but the best they could do was to hold Ottawa to 17 points while they accumulated only 6. The next week everybody was again in the harness working hard to de- feat her old time opponent Rock Island. Our team by wonderful strategy and superior head work was able to defeat the Rock Island Aggregation by a close score of 13 to 12. On Thanksgiving day the locals crossed the Rhine into Cermany and took on Davenport. Although they were beaten by a score of 33 to 0, yet they fought hard and were only defeated by a superior team. With Grubby Wood as Captain and three or four M men, Moline should be represented next year by a team of excellent caliber. Of the men who have engraved their names upon the athletic hall of fame: Captain Ford, Clayton Pickup, Wayne Stoehr, Hugo Fredericksen, Harold Parsons, Thomas Stone, William Driggs, Clarance Axene, and Herbert Owens are Seniors. 65 l I H21 ci-Girl: gel my FOESRRT FORD. Captain. HHenry, 'LRed, 'lBetty. Half-back. For two seasons UHenry has battled for the l'lVlaroon and VVhite and much credit is due him for the team's showing under his able leadership. This short stocky farmer lad was always ready to carry the ball and his signal was always good for a gain. To see him hit the line was always a joy to the interested spectators. The Davenport game was Forrest's last game for Moline High, and he surely will be missed next year. CLAYTON PICKUP, A'Claytie. Quarter-back. Although of a very frail build this gritty lad never feared the size of his opponents. When in a tight place you could always hear Claytie say 'Come on fellows, let's fightfl Light, speedy and heady, 'lClaytie'i filled the position of Quarter-back to a HT. He will be lost by graduation. HERBERT OWENS. 'AHerbo, HBuick. Half-back-End. Herbo was a pass word for either end or half-back. He is a good open field runner and he never was known to miss a forward pass. His weight and speed helped make the back field a smooth-running scoring machine. He will be lost by graduation. MAYNARD WOOD. Grubby, Ape. Tackle. l This 190-pounder was one of the mainstays of the line. His weight and expelgience was a valuable asset to the team. Unable to get into the game at the firstiof the season for various reasons, he came back strong, and Moline bids fair to develop a winning team under his management next year. 66 CQ- will s e- lj may 3 4 . - r FLOYD TAYLOR. Tackle. Fresh from Uncle Samls training camp, this Big Boy was as hard as nails and was a valuable man in crumpling up the enemies plays. Possessed of an irritable temperament he broke forth into hrts of sarcasm when the de- cisions of the referee did not please him. We are sorry that he has left school. PAUL LUNDBERG. Swede, f'Stephen. Guard. Kept out of the game at the first of the season by injuries, Swede came back strong in the latter part and played a great game. His weight and at- titude made him a Very valuable man both on defense and offense. He will be in the harness again next year andpgreat things are expected of him. WAYNE STOEHR, Stairface. Tackle-End. f'Stairface was a very valuable man on the team. When his iron bound shoulders hit an opposing player, the latter wished he was home with mother. Courageous was the man who withstood his furious onslaught. Wayne gets his diploma this year, and his services will be greatly missed next year. MARVIN SCHMIDT. Stutz, Smitty. Center. Stutz being chief organizer of The Fraternal Order of Rough Necks was given the Central part of the line to defend, and defend it he dic'. When you saw Smitty clench his teeth and swing his arms you generally saw his enemy disappear from his line of skirmish. 67 isfljjjn 1 may DRURY BABCOCK. Ky, Fisit. Half-back. 'Handicapped by his lightness Ky stuck it out and at the end of the season was a regular hard and sure tackler, and a good open Held runner. Drury was a very valuable man. His high spirits kept up the spirits of the team. This was his first and last season for Moline. WILLIAM DRIGGS. Bill. Quarter-back-End. This youngster filled either quarter-back or half-back positions and filled them with credit. Bill was one of the fastest men on the team and was also handy at receiving forward passes. This was his first and last season for Moline High as he receives his release soon. CLARENCE AXENE. MAX, Orlando End. This boy was a great ground gainer via the aerial route. Receiving passes was play for him. Being a good tackler he filled the position at end perfectly. Clarence also leaves us this year. HAROLD PAR SONS. Guard. ' Though not composed of a great deal of brawn and muscle, he fairly dazed his enemy with his untiring efforts. Working hard from the start he won the much desired M in the Davenport Game. He leaves the instituion of learning this year. ss ci-all a ll may TOM STONE. Guard. Fresh from the farm, this country lad got down to work and won a place on the team. Never spectacular, he was always ready to deliver the goods, and could be counted on to stop anything short of a bullet. His shoes though not very large will be hard to fill. LESLIE WIND. 'fDossy. Full-back. Dossy told the fellows at the HM banquet that he was going to get mad next year. HLes had oodles of ability and weight, and he used it to a wonderful advantage when he so desired. This is his first attempt at foot- ball, and with his experience of this year and a desire to work hard, HDoss will make a wonderful full-back on next year's team. GLENN FORD. Full-back. Coming back to school after a long absence this boy made good. Though not very heavy he had a knack of finding holes that were opened up for him. Since Glenn came from a football family a great deal was expected of him, and he gave no cause for worry. We are sorry to hear that he will not be in school next year. STRANGE RENO. Spitz, Dumb Finger. Guard. Spitz is one of those fellows who never quits fighting. Although hurt and half unconscious in the Peoria game, he never stopped fighting but stuck to the finish. His presence was greatly appreciated and his absence will ke keenly felt. - 69 Y-- -Y 2 if - li- f52Tvlr-ii i- 1--1-JllD5l'?U' t HUGO FREDERICKSEN. Tackle-Guard. This Scandinavian War Hound was an iron man on defense and a demon on offense. His unconquerable fight won him a place on the team, and though not in all the games the opponents had cause to worry when he was in them. We were glad to see him come and sorry to see him go. 70 1 A BASKET BALI. TEAM VVilliam Driggs CCaptainD .,.. G1lbert Jamleson .,........ ........... Wzlrren First ...... Maynard VVood ....

Driggs, VVood, :nd I rndberg, who were the only three men back, formed a nucleus on which to tuild a teanf. The E1 st combat was scheduled for December 12, with Cambridge on their imrcssible foor. The game w as lcst in the last two minutes of over-time play ly a free throw. The resulting score was 20 to 19. Than cane the second ccnflict rn December 20, when the boys faced Ci z'n1cn's teena. The result of this v as another defeat, with the score stand- ing rt 22 to FF. Cantcn defeated the best teams in the state, and played in the fr: ls cf the State tournament. 'I lfcfc cefeats v ere too much fcr the players and with the spirit of do rr dt ttf y entered the Davenport engagement on January 16. The Iowans x are Cefczted in close game by the score of 33 to 26. Vlith hares running high the boys entered the Galesburg game in our Cym. Jantary 23, but Jamieson was out because of illness, and things didn't go right. The ganie ended in a defeat, 7 to 23. The return game with Cambridge on the local Hoor the following even- ing v as lest can fouls, as some of our team lapsed into football at times. The score beard registered 28 to 32. The old school spirit was kindled on January 20 for the Rock Island ccnllict, and the boys entered with a determination to win, They played in the Rock Island Y before a capacity crowd of cheering enthusiasts and secured a victory, 12 to 9. It was February 26, that the quintet journeyed to Calesburg with high spirits. The game was lost by one basket, 24 to 22. On the following evening, after a hard dayls journey, they confronted Cedar Rapids, and were sadly defeated by the score of 40 to 8. February 13, the boys fell short of the expectations of a big crowd of Moline fans when Davenport gained the lead and kept it until the final whistle was blown. The final result was 24 to 18, but it was a great game. The week ending February 21, the squad journeyed to Canton and Peoria. VVhy recount the harrowing details? The result with Canton was 10 to 46, and with Peoria Central 7 to 33. A game never to be forgotten was played February 27, with Rock Island it was, no doubt, the most thrilling of all games ever played on the home floor and was witnessed by-a record crowd. The game and the Tri-City Cham- pionship were lost by a free throw, the score being 17 to 18. Although the season had not been as successful as had been expected the boys were at their best when they boarded the train for the District Tourna- ment at Galesburg. Moline played the opening game of the tournament with Geneseo and won, 20 to 24. Moline drew a hard schedule at the beginning. She played Galesburg the following morning. The game was not a victory, still it was by far the best game of the tournament and it was in this game t'iat Galesburg was held the closest of all the games of the tourament, 25 to 32. Our little forward, Jamieson, had the honor of scoring a position of for- ward on the second team of the district. The several men who won their let- ters are: First, Driggs, Wood, Jamieson, Johnson and Axene. 72 WILLIAM DRIGGS. 'fBill. Captain, Forward. P 'Q Although burdened with the captaincy Bill new er let a little thing like that worry him. Always aggressive and untiring he set a pace for the team that was very effective although strenuous. He was always in the 'thick- est of the battle and was exceedingly acconiplished in the art of bringing the ball in an advantageous position to shoot from. Never letting his man get out of sight, he was very efhcient in lleeping down the other side's score. 'fBill ' will surely be missed when the roll is called next fall. CLARENCE AXENE. MAX. Guard.

Speedy, skillful on his feet, and with an eye for the Lasl et this lad was recognized by the critics at the Galesburg tournament as forward on the all-district second team. Gil played a clean, fast game of baslfet ball and this as well as his ability made him a favorite of the fans. Cil will be missed next year. , 73 4 QI.-.'-1.-r i.. . j.'.,5 by WARREN FIRST. center-Forward. V Warren was one of these men with an 'Aeye for a basket. It seemed as if he couldn't miss the basket-this puzzled many teams. He used his length and reach to a good advantage whenever he got a chance. Whenever the Coach needed a good, reliable man, Warren was right on the job. 7 HE will be back next year. MAYNARD WOOD. Grubby. Guard. Being an obstacle of hugh proportion his opponents thought twice before attempting any roughing with Grubby. Though in a position where he EJ'-uld dazzle the spectators with his shining ability he was right on the job just the same. Anyone who could get by him was superhuman. It was a common sight to see an opponent bearing down on Grubby with a rush, then came a clash, and Grubby issued from the heap with the ball firmly in his hands. Vkle are sorry to hear that 'lGrubby will not be eligible for another season of basket ball. REUBEN JOHNSON. HRube. Guard. Though a new man and not in every game, he was there whenever he was called upon. He seemed to be composed of the proper amount of ingre- digitsm that are necessary to a basket ball man. His wonderful guarding was tilieffea-turie of many games and his unconquerable fight made him an opponent tombelrienclionecl with in everywigain-Tieifh This was his first year but we expect great things of him next year. 74 -i- Qia ' uns' ' what Q all Eournameut The Boys' Interclass baslfet ball tournament nas an unusually closely contested one this year. The Sophomores were immedately eliminated by losing their first two games, the first to the Juniors and then to the Freshman. The Juniors won their way into the finals by first defeating the Sophomores and then the Seniors. The Senicrs succeeded in defeating the Freshmen by a narrow margin. The little Freshmen xx ere so quick that the Seniors did not know just where to look for them, but they xx ere usually found shooting baskets from between the Seniors' legs. However, they did not sink enough of them in the ring for the Seniors again trampled on them by a score of 40 to 9 in the semi-finals. The Freshman's team were mostly upheld by the work of Simpscn, the boy wonder. This lad looks like Jack, the Giant-Killer among the Seniors, but he produced the goods by dropping the ball in from almost any angle of the Hoor if given half a chance. Toline and VVood were also among the Hfindsw discovered and these we expect will prove to be valuable material for next year's squad. The real game of the tournament was the hnals xx hich was betvveen the Juniors and the Seniors. It was a battle from beginning to the end. The Seniors tried in vain to find some way to get the better of the opposing team but in vain. These two teams battled for the championship last year as Sopho- mores and juniors and the latter took the tournament by one point. This year the '2O's tried to double the count on the juniors but they were thrown from the 'tChamps by a score of 15 to 14. 75 -1 Oti ggi: Q 1 76 ci- will-P df -1-JI may Mirla' mzfkethull Eournument The annual Girls' Interclass Basketball tournament, held in March was a much less interesting one for the Seniors for the reason they secured the cham- pionship without experiencing any difficulty. VVith a team of veterans posses- sing perfect co-operation in team work, they displayed real championship caliber that made them from the beginning appear as a winning team. They decisive- ly defeated every other team. As usual, the Sophomores were thrown out of the race by losing their first two games, the first one being taken by the Fresh- men with a count of 11 to 10, and the second game went to the juniors by a score of 10 to 7. The captain of the Sophs. told the members of the high school the next day from the rostrum that they were going to do better next year. The Fresh- men were thrown from the finals when the junior team beat them to the tune of 26 to 9. On March 24 the real game of the season was played. The Seniors baffled the '21 team, completely overwhelming them with a victory of 23 to 10. How- ever, the game was not devoid of excitement for the two teams battled fiercely until the final whistle was blown. Basket M's were awarded to the girls on the winning team and to the best player of each of the other three teams. The captain of the Freshmen 77 fi- 45131 i ci , may team, Gertrude Lage, who played center in a creditable manner and was in the game every minute was awarded an 'AM . Of the Sophomores, Margaret Esping, who also played the center of the iloor, received the coveted emblem. If the team had a few more like her they would undoubtedly have gotten a higher place. The lucky Junior girl to receive an M was their plucky little guard, Elizabeth Parkhurst. To Dorothy Christopher, who played the stellar game for the Seniors was given the star letter. This basket ball shark has no rival, as the best player in the tournament. She managed to drop about 28 out of 36 points. Spectators said it was impossible for her to miss a basket. During their career the Seniors have managed to take the championship twice, an unusual occurence for fine class. 78 1-2 1 1 1111 11 , ' 1 ' '.

VVith several years already past we can safely say that Stop Thief presented by the 1920 class April 1 and 2 in the High School Auditorium was the greatest success of all. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that the effect of the rendition of the play was not a one star one, for all in the cast did well, and it may be said each character had a real part, particularly suited to him. In addition to the splendid work of the cast a great deal of credit should be given to the coach Mrs. Bradley, who worked persistently and untiringly with them. There were action, romance, laughs and surprises from the moment Father Carr misplaced the first ruby until the three couples knelt before the pastor for the reading of the wedding ceremony as the final curtain fell. The progress of events in the Carr household the morning of Madge's wedding centered largely aroung jack Doogan CLewis Mahoneyj, Nell jones QHarriet Ransomj, James Cluney QWillard Greenfieldl, and Mr. Carr CHerbert Owensj, and their rendering of the lines was so distinct and their acting so clever that the audience did not lose one opportunity for a laugh. Genevieve Hunt as joan Carr was a clever actress, Florence Bell as Madge, an almost distracted bride, and james Haney as sergeant of the police all added a great deal to the action of the play. Frederic Anderson as Rev. Mr. Spelain, and Raymond Cowley as Dr. VVilloughby both did some splendid character acting in their respective parts. Wayne Stoehr made a decidedly successful business man, Irene Streed gave a splendid interpretation of Mrs. Carr, and Marie Eckerman played Caroline Carr in a very creditable manner. Harold Parsons, Hugo Fredericksen, William Driggs and Richard Evans were good in their respective comedy roles. The Cast : Joan Carr. . . Mrs. Carr ...., Caroline Carr, . . Madge Carr ....

A very clever sketch entitled 'fThe Prof1teer began the fun of the evening, but by no means ended it. Fredrick Lindvall as Slippery Dick, a very trouble- some customer, and Lewis Mahoney as a traveling patent agent, worried and cheated poor old Slim jim, the storekeeper, otherwise Herbert Owens, until he was nearly distracted. Hamilton Green, a typical negro woman, and james Haney and Harlie Moorhusen as burglars made everyone laugh. In the second part, Raymond Cowley, a very Hclassy negro and his youthful bride, Barnard Casady, certainly made a decided hit with their songs. The Syncopation Sextette, composed of VVillard Greenfield, Clayton Pickup, Carl Anderson, Milton Liljegren, VVilliam Driggs, and Hugo Fred- erieksen showed some of the splendid musical talent of the '20 class. The Grand Ministrel came last introducing Uno Bradley as Interlocuter and James Haney, Harlie Moorhusen, Herbert Owens, VVilbur Ross, Hamilton Green, and Fredrick Lindvall as end men. They added a great deal to the evening's entertainment by their original jokes. Especially good were the musical numbers given by the Ballad Singers and the humorous songs by the End Men. But the scream of the evening came when james Haney, Fredrick Lindvall and Harlie Moorhusen 'fput overw something entirely original in the Misfit Trio. The audience simply 'froaredf' The curtain wentldown before a well pleased crowd and the auditorium echoed with ap- plause. A great deal of the success of the Ministrels was due to the excellent train- ing and untiring efforts of the coach, Lino Bradley and the accompanist, Mrs. Lino Bradley. Credit for the financial end of the program was due to the successful management of the business by Richard Evans, business manager, and Vllillard Greenfield, ticket manager. 82 + Qt:-'i-1 Ztiuker uf Breama The annual junior plays, given cn the evening' of january 9, in the high school auditorium under the auspices of the English Department and the 1921 class were acclaimed to be two of the most successful plays ever staged in the Moline High School. The first play, 'fThe Maker of Dreams, is a delightful little fantasy, the scene of xx hich is laid in a cottage. Pierrette, the wistful, fairylike little girl, has formed a partnership with Pierrot the romantic, dreamy young man who makes a livelihood by singing while Pierrette keeps house for him. Pier- fette loves Pierrot, but he does nct return her love and causes her many tears and much silent grief by his mad raving over some new beautiful face he sees each day. Each one he believes to be his ideal love until some more beautiful lady comes into the range of his visicn, and then his affections are changed. The Manufacturer of Dreams visits their home and gives Pierrot a slip of paper on xx hich is described his ideal woman. As Pierrot sits in the evening reading the description aloud. over and over again, he awakens from his dream surprised at the discovery that Pierrette is the beautiful one, and that it is really she whom he has loved always.

The scene is laid in a New York tenenfcnt house. Maggie, a pccr bcautiful Irish maiden, the little tenement slave is always dcing some lfind deed for scrre cne. Bob Drummond, an enterprising but starving ycung inx entor, and Dick Dolorton, a struggling young playwright, both have teen dis'nherited by their aunts and forced to live in the attic of this sanre tenenent kcusc, dcprii cd of all com- forts. Bob's sweetheart, Edith. comes to the tenenent to see Maggie and to her surprise finds Bob there. Later Dick enters dressed as the leading lady of his play, whose part he had been obliged to tal e. Upon hearing Edith singing in the next room, he conceals himself lehind the screer. He causes a great deal of merriment throughout the play by moving the screen back and forth for his own convenience and much to Maggie's horror. The climax is reachesl when Miss Bird, Bob's aristocratic aunt and her niece Sylvia, Dick's sweetheart, enter, and Miss Bird in her indignation upon finding Edith there accidentally pushed the screen over, thus exposing Dick to the view of all The embarrassing situation is relieved by the appearance of a theatrical mana- ger who informs Dick of the great success of his play, and Bob tells of the suc- cessful sale of his invention. Miss Bird forgives them, and all ends happily.

Elizabeth Hill, Harriet Ransom and Marion Sohner contested in our own auditorium, with three representatives from Rock Island. Our girls, however, were unsuccessful, and were defeated in both places. 87 qntr- 'j'-ta tl-11cQ?yo- Behating, 1920 ln the annual Tri-City triangle of the Big Eight debating league, Moline succeeded in securing second place. The question debated was, Resolved: 'fThat the United States Should at Cnce Cive the Philippines Their Inde- pendencef' Perhaps it is due to the timely and debatable character of the resolution that a large number respcnded to the first call late in the fall cf 1919. Vllhile no definite sides were established, all candicates fell to viork with renearlfable zeal, delving to the roots of the subject and thus leaving no source of infor- mation untouched. On Tuesday, February 3, V ere lfeld the trycuts to determine teams, and the aspirants for forensic honors vtere found to number twenty-one. The members of the squad as selected by the faculty judges vtere: Charles Sollo, Cyrus Churchill and Jchn Ranscm, Negative: Earle Benson, Louise VVallfer, and Frederic Anderscn fc-r the affrmative. Alternates were Harvey VVright, negative, and Horace Deane, andrmative. VVith the experience derived from tvo local debates, Moline's teams met their Tri-City opponents on the afternoon cf March 19 well equipfed. The Afhr- mative, meeting Uavenportcn the hcme floor was defeated by a 3 to O decision in a closely contested forensic battle. Despi e the apparently one sided score the difference of percentage in ranking v as very small. But even under the unfavorable circumstances incident to speaking on a foreign fieor our Negative team captured the laurels from Rock Island in the form of a 3 to O decision. No little credit is due to the untirinq efforts of the Coach, Miss Stiles. With previous debating experience in other schools, she soon developed in the teams the capacity for sound analysis and forceful delivery. lNorking with raw, inexperienced material and v.ith only two debaters back from the previous year the coach must he credited with a great deal of the success. Witli the majority of this year's team back in the school and an active interest aroused in the student bcdy next year shculd see a championship team for Moline. ss ci- efijj-'1 t my gtocal ttxtenwore Qluntwt Cyrus Churchill won hrst place in the local extcmpore contest, Friday evening April 30. The contest was an unusually good one. All the contestants who took part worked hard and conscientiously, and thus were able to cope in a creditable manner in their rendition of the subject they drew. The extempore contest is the most difficult of the literary contests. Each contestant, 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. The following speakers took part in the local contest: Florence Bell, Earle Benson, Cyrus Churchill, Hugo Frederickson, Frederick Lindvall, Har- riet Ransom, John Ransom, and Charles Sollo.

From that time on the paper has grown in size until, in the first semester of this year it reached a circulation of over six hundred. Unfortunately it was necessary at the beginning of the second semester, to raise the price to fifty cents a semester. This was caused by the greatly increased cost of print- ing. It was also thought advisable to run eight page papers with ads, for the last six issues to help in defraying the expenses of the year. A novel entertainment in the form of a matinee dance was given by the Line O' Type on April 9, in the gymnasium. Over two hundred students attended the party. lt was a great success financially and socially. The Line O' Type cleared considerably over fifty dollars. i This year the office of faculty advisor has been most ably hlled by Miss Stiles, the head of the English Department.

The boys have lived up to the purpose for which the organi- zation was founded, almost to a man. Sociability and good fellowship prevailed among its members. The meetings have been unusually well attended and enthusiasm was manifested far above the average. In the course of the year many very interesting speakers have appeared before the club, some of them being, Mr. Rodeheaver, Mr. Nyhan the secre- tary of the Moline HY , Judge Dietz, and VV. B. Mclntyre. On the evenings of January 1 and 2 the organization staged its annual minstrel show in the auditorium. Never in the history of the past minstrels was such a conglomeration of wit, humor, pathos, song and dance presented, and never was an audience more highly appreciative of the dramatic endeavors. Enough money was cleared to give a most successful party to the members of the Girls' After-Dinner Club on the evening of April 16. The retiring members extend their best wishes for an equally successful season to the Senior-boys-to-be of the class of 1921. OFFICERS President ......,............. ....

As the meetings were new to all there was an air of excitement mingled vi ith expectation. Those who anticipated a good time were not disappointedg in fact all of the entertainments have been very enjoyable. The Hostesses and their com- mittees have certainly done a great deal in the way of making these meetings so entertaining. The following excellent speal' ers have been heard in the various meetings: Mrs. C. C. Sloan, Miss Adeline Kerns, Miss Irene Richards, Dr. Porter, Miss Kinney of the Sunday party, Mrs. Heald and Miss Dorothy Ainsworth. The girls have received a great deal of benefit from these meetings not only from the ideas given by the spealsers but also by associating with other Senior girls and learning to lr now them better. Such gatherings make the girls broader- minded and make them see that other g'rls not amcng their own particular intimate friends are very fine gi'ls. The spirit of gcod will among all is also fostered. The officers of the club are: Dorothy Christopher, President, Antoinette Kohl, Treasurer. Miss Helen Bardens has acted as the faculty sponsor this year. The Club is to be congratulated that such an able person was elected to serve in this cpaacity. With the help of Miss Evelyn Smith the After-Dinner Club very ably presented Aunt Maggie's Will on the afternoon of April 30, 1920. This play is a comedy in which Aunt Maggie le'ves a will with certain 'fstringsn which make Madeline, the prospective bride. quite worried. However it turns out all right in the end. 93 cf-Q41-a dj '-1'V1Qy Q anis' when Glluh The Boys' Glee Club, in spite of the fact that it is not as large as it formerly has been, and is greatly handicapped by the presence of almost a complete new selection of members, has made wonderful progress this year under the careful and persistent training of Miss Heineman. The club assisted in furnishing entertainment between the plays which the Juniors staged. A new feature of the club was introduced in the form of a quartet which appeared in the Cantata, The Walrus and the Carpenter . The same group with a slight change entertained the Rotary Club with a few selections. Burdick Parker, Carl Anderson, Herbert Owens, and Harold Parsons comprised this quartet. The club also filled a necessary part in the Operetta, t'Little Almond Eyes, which was put on- by the Boys, and Girls' Glee Clubs.

Time has fully tested each and every john Deere tool and has given it Prestige--Time's badge of quality and success. And Time's verdict today will be the verdict in the future so long as mankind gives to quality the recognition that is its due. Each coming year will see, as the years in the past have seen, con- tinued growth of the great industry that was started eighty years ago when john Deere hon- estly and painstakingly put superior quality into the plows that he made in his little shop of one anvil.

That individual education is just as important in determining individual efficiency is not so obvious, and for that reason the Root 6: Van Dervoort Engineering Co. of East Moline desires to utilize this space to direct attention to that fact. This company knows that young men with high school training make better employes, better mechanics- and better citizens than those who have not had such education. It knows, too, that the college trained man is still more desirable, is more efficient and is of greater value in industry. Reliable evidence shows that the average yearly wage of uneducated men is 5450, that of grammar school men S6003 of high school men SI,000g and that of men of college train- ing fB2,000. ln a life Work of forty years this means 340,000 dividend for the time in college, or S5714 for every day spent in college. The war sent wages up and somewhat changed the totals, but the proportions are about 'the same, and the new wage conditions only emphasize the advantages of education. It is our desire to urge every Moline high school pupil to finish the high school course, and then to exert every effort to secure college education. It pays in dollars, and it pays in the things that make life better, broader and happier. Roowic Van Dervoort Engineering Co. 123 gwgo -iwllib d llwzo - ci E , Ra, D9 .
