I ' HE Momence High School Yeah Booh, is a book m published annually by the students of the Momence High School. Its purpose is to give an idea of High School life and High School ideals as seen from the students’ point of view. The Yeah Book, first published in 1901, is the first of its kind in the state to be edited entirely by High School students. The first two Yeah Books were published by the Senior classes of their respective years and in consideration of the fact that they were edited by persons entirely inexperienced in the art of journalism, they are remarkable productions. In 1903, owing to the stress of the Seniors’ work, the task of publishing the Yeah Book was given to the Junior class. In 1904, with the advent of Mr. Selby as superintendent, a new plan for obtaining subscriptions was tried and found very successful. Leaders were elected from the Junior class and these chose sides from the whole High School. Then the con¬ test began. At the end of a specified time the side having the fewest subscriptions to its credit gave a banquet to the other side. This plan put the Yeah Book out of danger of debt, and is still continued. For the Yeah Books of 1905, 1906 and 1907 prizes were of¬ fered for excellence in certain lines of work in the grades. This plan was disconfinued in 1908. The Year Book of 1909 repre¬ sents one of the best books ever put forth. It is artistically compiled and is a credit to the class members. The book of 1910, which was the tenfh anniversary of the Annual, added one new department—the Editorial. In all the books there has been a steady improvement un¬ til now the glory of journalism, art and literature rises to its zenith in the book of 1911. Not satisfied with this, the old name— Year Book, has been changed to THE PENNANT, which is in accordance with its other excellencies and merits. We have endeavored to make this book an object of beauty as well as of utility. We have sought to show the High School in the best manner possible. It is offered to the Public, the Patrons of the school, the Alumni, and to the Students, in hope that it will give them pleasure as a worthy example of High School work. There have been good books and there will be others, but there never will be one that will surpass THE PEN¬ NANT of 1911. SENIOR CLASS ROLL.

Y life as a nurse in a Yew York hospital had been a very busy one for the last eighteen years and I never had a chance to visit my old home, but I often wondered what had become of the members of the Class of 1912. One day, while I was off duty, I chanced to pick up a news¬ paper and noticed the headlines, “Jean Bigelow, the World’s Most Famous Suffragette, will speak in the Auditorium to¬ night. ” I decided at once to go and have a heart-to-heart talk with my old classmate as in days gone by. I met her after the lecture and after a hearty greeting she told me she had re¬ cently visited Momence, and had seen or heard of all our class¬ mates and would be glad to tell me of them. The people of Momence now listen to the greatest Catholic priest in the world, with the possible exception of the Pope, George Bukowski, the successor to Father Labrie. Leona Hoag is labeling pickle bottles in a thriving factory in Wichert. The most successful farmers in Kankakee county are El- wyn Bradley and his wife, formerly Mary Clark. They reside on a farm north of Momence. Our class has representatives in the remotest parts of the world. Helen Melby is now a missionary in the wilds of Africa. Harry Seavey is stirring the hearts of all Europe with the tones of his violin. One of the science teachers of the new township High School is Anthony Parish and he has recently discovered a new source from which man originated. Almost any day in the week Effie Lundstrom may be seen riding up and down the streets of Momence on a truck wagon. Effie has decided to be an old maid and has made herself and friends famous by producing the best vegetables grown for miles around. A roller skating rink in the Opera House is conducted by Walter DuBridge. Momence is proud to boast of one of the greatest lawyers the world has ever produced in Wayne Allen. On the headlines of the Momence Press-Beporter may be seen— Arthur Carlson, Editor. Bagnhild Jensen wanders from one town to another and judging by her appearance she has joined the Salvation army. Her chum, Florence West, is a stenogg- rapher in the Illinois Trust Savings Bank of Chicago. Gladys Zahl long ago changed her name, and she and her hus¬ band are at present camping on the Iroquois river. So she ended her story, and as I rode home my spirits arose for I realized that a more brilliant career will never be ob¬ tained by any other class. THE JUNIOR. As He appears to the Newspapers.

YE warm, lazy afternoon as I lay in the hammock I dozed off to sleep and dreamed I was taking a great trip around the world. The steamer on which I had passage left Yew York three days after my arrival there, so this gave me plenty of time to visit this wonderful metropolis of America. I knew some of my old classmates lived there, and by using a city directory I finally located Hazel McConnell, whom I learned was the society belle of the season. Her chum, Bernice Astle, was with her and Hazel told me Bernice was soon to be the bride of a young gentleman of Kankakee, Illi¬ nois. While in the city I attended the Yanderbildt Cup Bace, and great was my surprise to see McKinley Hayden entered to drive the famous International car. Beading the papers that day I learned that Buby Ward was taking the leading part in the play “When Sweet Sixteen , 55 which was making the “hit” of the season. Before leaving Yew York I wished to exchange my United States money for that of other countries and went to a leading bank to do so. Imagine my surprise to find that James Kirby was president of the institution and Hilton Yich- ols head cashier. On the day of my departure as I walked up the gang plank to the vessel, a newspaper reporter stopped me. I immediately recognized him as Bernard Benstrom, who was at that time reporting the in-coming and out-going steamers for the Momence Press-Beporter. I landed at London and on the afternoon of the day I landed I went to one of the smaller parks. I never expected to see any one I knew, but here I found Blanche Hanson acting as chief governess for the children of a London nobleman. From Eng¬ land I went to Denmark. Here the suffragette movement had a powerful hold on the people and Yiola Oleson was the recog¬ nized head. France was my next place of visit. While there I received an invitation to dine with the Countess Bernardi, formerly Florence Snapp. Dorothy Yelson was her chief maid. From France I made the long trip to China. I visited one of the missionary schools which was in charge of Lora Simonds, a great missionary who was trying to keep the heathens from bowing down to wood and stone. After a considerable stay in China I set sail sail for San Francisco, desirous of visiting our own Western states. At one of the ranches where I stopped, Duwana Basmussen lived, the wife of the wealthy rancher. Opal Martin was the chief cook and Baymond Keeler the ranch foreman. At the mining camp near by Clay Hayden had charge of a part of the Mills. Bobert Crosby was superintendent of schools at the mining camp, and Gertrude Smith had charge of the fine arts department. Journeying eastward I soon came to Momence, my home where I had spent my school days. In the bank there Beatrice Butterfield was book-keeper. Lucy Brown had charge of the painting department of the schools and had met with remarkable success, and Blanche Marshall was teaching advanced Latin to post-graduates. Elva DuBridgehad married and lived on a farm near Grant Park. It was then that my thoughts were broken up by someone calling me who I saw was my friend Helena Hardy, who wished to speak about some of the latest fashions in ladies’ fall gowns.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. .f large audience attended the High School entertain¬ ment given in the opera hall on the evening of De- cember sixteenth, the proceeds of which went to pay for song books purchased earlier in the year. The program was opened with a selection by the High School orchestra. Six girls in full costume sang the 4 ‘Japanese Love Song.” Lorene Hill then played a violin solo entitled “Serenade.” Following this was a reading by Jean Bigelow, with an accompaniment on the piano by her sister, Carrie. A vocal solo followed by Gladys Worrel. The last number on the first part of the program was a piano duet by Grace Hunte and Judith Mills. The second part of the program was a short play entitled “Madame Jarley’s Wax Figger Show.” Madam Jarley was represented by Maude Hupp, who had just returned from one of her many trips around the world and had collected a wonder¬ ful and world-renowned collection of “wax figgers. ” After they had been wound and oiled by the attendants, Albert Burtt and Ivan Crosby, they performed many wonderful movements. The program was closed by a selection by the orchestra.

HE annual year book banquet was held in the base- y ment of the Baptist church on Friday evening, Feb- € 332 ) ruary twenty-fourth, and was the outcome of selling year book subscriptions. The contest began on the morning of January twenty-first and continued until February tenth. The opposing sides were the White led by Maude Hupp and the Blue led by Harry Sea- vey. For two weeks a hot struggle was on, the Whites keeping the lead from the beginning, and finally winning by a majority of fifty subscriptions. Although the Blues were a little slack in selling subscrip¬ tions, they made up for it by the supper they served to the winners. About seventy were present at the banquet including students, teachers and invited guests. The early part of the evening was spent in playing games, such as, “Spin the Plat¬ ter,” “Grunt Hog Grunt,” and “Silly Questions and Silly Answers.” At about ten o’clock the doors of the dining room were thrown open, revealing the large tables prettily decorated with the contest colors, which are also the Junior class colors, dark blue and white. After the supper toasts were given by the leaders of both sides in the contest, Mr. Crull, principal of the High School, Miss Graham and Miss McKinnie. All were heartily applauded. The guests then departed, all voting it the most enjoyable banquet ever held, and that the Blues cer ¬ tainly were fine entertainers.

The old flat-bottomed boat Was no work of art, Still it was a success Even from the start. It was not a racer, But still it would float, And this was the purpose Of the old flat-boat. Asa joke the boys said It would hold a ton. One thing - was quite certain, It furnished us fun. And though it was old And hard to pole, It always was steady And never would row. For its bottom was flat, And the sides were high, And the ends were square, And the inside was dry. It’s good points were many Thou nick-named a float. I think of it fondly, The flat-bottomed boat. THE OLE SWIM MIN’ HOLE. At the edge of the grove in the river bend. Just a little below where the ripples end, Where the river bank forms a shallow like a bowl, Is the place the boys call the ole swimmin’ hole. The large shady oak trees I’ll never forget, And the sloping green banks, I can see them yet, And the island there right across from the bowl, These were the scenes around the ole swim¬ min’ hole. Oh the days they come back when I was ahoy, I recall youth’s freedom and all of its joys, And a feeling of sadness steals o’er my soul To think I’m parted from the ole swimmin’ hole. WAYNE ALLEN GRACE HUNTE LAWRENCE MC CONNELL OPAL MARTIN MARY CLARK IYAN CROSBY LIVONIA WALKER BERNICE ASTLE BESSIE BRASSARD MAUDE HUPP RUBY TUTTLE THE PENDULUM OF PROGRESS IVAN CROSBY. S Americans we are blessed with a heritage held sacred by our forefathers and perpetuated by their posterity, that inheritance without which no nation ever has or ever can live. It is a sacrificial devotation to the Mother Country, a burning patriotism which places the welfare of the Nation above all other things. It was this patriotism which induced our ancestors to exchange homes for desolation, peace for war, and life for death that their country might live. This same feeling prompts us to place our own native country before all others. Nor do we do this unjustly. For what other coun¬ try in so short a time has grown from a mere hand full of flee¬ ing Pilgrims to the greatest, grandest nation on earth? This broad land was given us that we might erect here a living and a lasting monument lo civilization. The foundation of that monument has been securely laid. But with the present and future generations rests the power to erect a strong and lasting edifice or a weak frail structure to he swept away by the first violent gale of insurrection. As we look hack through the past ages, we see that nations have risen to fame in various pursuits. Sparta was famous in war. Athens excelled in culture and learning. And mighty Rome surpassed all in government. These people have passed on into eternity. These nations did not last, they could not last because they were not rationally balanced. But how is it with our own country, is it noted for one thing only, does its fame rest upon one support? No America is the most versatile land in existence. She has been called “The land of glorious extremes.” It is true she has gone to extremes in many things, and this very fact is the key note of her success. “Her fame is as one light which beams out of a thousand stars.” One hundred fifty years ago, all the settled land in the United States lay east of the Alleghany mountains. The cities were few and small. As each year of that century and a half rolled by civilization took a long step westward. Now from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes, the whole country is divided into prosperous farms, and large cities re¬ place the haunts of savages. Steam and electricity have eliminated distances to a mini¬ mum. The journey across our country once lasting months is now accomplished in as many days. The old trail of the prairie schooner strewn with bleached bones of perished travelers, is now replaced by railroads over which the passengers travel in coaches and sleepers. Messages are clicked from one continent to another in the twinking of an eye. Science is superseding material. Wire is no longer needed to conduct electricity. Wireless stations are set up all over the continent. All this has been accomplished since the advent of the twentieth cen¬ tury. Science lias not advanced alone. Yea r after year, step by step religion and education have steadily kept a pace with this greatest of all arts. The religion of our ancestors was supersti¬ tious and compulsory. They feared the devil rather than love God. Denominations fought among themselves and a deep chasm yawned between the churches. Today the churches are coming together. Denominational lines are fading away and all churches are uniting in one grand cause, Christianity. The education of our people is ranked with the first. In place of the old back woods schools, high schools, colleges and universities have sprung up. These give every American an education as complete as he is willing to make it. This is a direct step toward financial progress. The poorest of American boys have become multi-millionaires able to buy up several Eur¬ opean kings. But what is more praiseworthy, the philanthro¬ pic spirit is shown in the United states as no where else. Politics is a profession. Men must be educated for this phase of life as well as any other. It takes more brains, a clearer conception of existing conditions and facts to be a mas¬ ter politician than ever before. Able men have developed a government which protected these United States in her infancy and under which she has grown to her wonderful power. Eng¬ land has looked upon her as an unruly child, but now she would fain look up to her as a protector. But the United States will not give up her place as chief peacemaker among the nations to become a fighting champion. The United States has grown while her neighbors have not. She once so weak, requiring the help of foreigners to save her from her own mother country, has been asked since that time to save her mother country from those foreigners. Why is it that America has changed places with the strong¬ est? It is because she understood the laws of progress. It is because her yankee good sense carried her safely through every difficulty. It is because she knew the value of peace and be¬ cause she is the best diplomat among the nations. The greatest century in the history has just ended. But the past has not even hinted at the wonderful achievements of the coming generations. Truly we are living in a great age, in a great country, but the vast and mysterious future holds a destiny for each nation yet unforseen. What the destiny of America will be is not as yet ascertained. But judging from the past a future too bright cannot be imagined. Let us as loyal Americans stand true to our flag, and gua rd the inheri¬ tance of our ancestors. Let us make the future America the main spring to the pendulum of progress. And may that pen¬ dulum swing on forever. SENIOR CLASS PLAY W ' HE Senior Class play will be given Friday evening, May 26th, following the class exercises. The Class will present the four act comedy drama “Diamonds and Hearts.” The play has been in rehearsal the past month under the direction of Lou Allen, and is as pretty a comedy as has as yet been presented by the High School pupils. The High School Orchestra will have charge of the music and of the play, and nothing will be neglected to make the play the best one ever presented by the scholars. The cast: Bernice Halstead ....

The members of the Pennant Board have tried to make this edition one that will live up to the standard of the previous annuals. Very few people realize the amount of labor and expense involved in an annual of this kind, and it is hoped that everyone will appreciate the efforts of the Board. One new feature of this annual is the changing of the name from Year Book to The Pennant. It is the ardent desire of the Class that the following cllasses retain this name for the an¬ nual ' The old name stood the test of ten years, and there is no reason why the new one should not. Special attention is called to the half-tone cuts of the students, etc., all of which it is hoped will be received at face value. The advertising section this year is larger than ever berore, which shows that a majori¬ ty of the merchants take an interest in the school. The Board is grateful for the liberal patronage for the annual this year, 425 copies having been put out. The High School students acted as subscription solicitors and deserve great thanks for their work. Prizes were offered for the three students selling the most subscriptions. Frank Connor von the tirst prize, three dollars in cash, selling 54 subscriptions; Lawence McCon¬ nell second, two dollars in cash, selling 29 subscriptions; and Ruby Tuttle third, one dollar in cash, selling 22 subscriptions. We ask that this annual he accepted as the best results from the efforts of the Class of 1912. THE EDITOR’S PEN At the close of the present school year we bid farewell to Mr. Winans, who has been our superintendent for the past two years, and who has accepted a position as superintendent of schools at Livingston, Montana. Mr. Winans came here in the fall of 1909. For the past two years he has acted as superin¬ tendent of schools in a manner entirely satisfactory to every¬ one. Mr. Winans has been one of the most successful superin¬ tendents of the schools. We are sorry to loose the valuable services of Mr. Winans both as an instructor and friend, but wish him success in his new position. To fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Winans’ resignation, Mr. Walters of Warren, Indiana, has been engaged. Mr. Walters has had a number of years experience and will not doubt be successful in Momence. The Momence High School has been re-acredited at the University of Illinois. The Momence High School has been on the accredited list for many years, but in June, 1910 the certi¬ ficate expired, but this did not take the High School off the accredited list. Last fall Prof. H. A. Hollister, High School Inspector, visited Momence, and being entirely satisfied with the work being done, readily granted another certifiicaee good until June 1913. To be accredited at the University means that a graduate of the High School may enter the University without taking an entry examination on the subjects in which the High School has been accredited. Momence is also in good standing with many other colleges in the neighboring states. FOOTBALL, SEASON OF 1910. BY ARTHUB CARLSON. OOT ball had more “hard luck” this year in the High School than any previous year. Early in the season Wayne Allen was elected manager and Albert Burtt captain. The prospects were bright for some time and then for various reasons the interest began to wane. The main cause was that there were not enough candidates for positions on the team; at no time during the season was there over ten. Class room work also cut some figure in the game. A number of players were continually kept out on account of low grades in school work. But those interested still tried to keep up the life of the sport, hoping for results in the end. Games were scheduled with Morocco, Brook, Kankakee, Watseka and other neighboring towns, but all these had to be called off. There still remained one hope, and that was the Alumni game on Thanksgiving Day. In the meantime however, nearly every member of the team seeing there w r as no chance for High School games, had broken the Athletic Association rules governing eligibility. After the Alumni game had been scheduled it was decided that the team to oppose the Alumni would not be the High School team, but a team composed of High School players. HE Momence High School Alumni defeated the foot IBh ball team composed of High School players on Thanksgiving Day in their annual game by a score of 32 to 5. The Alumni outweighed the High School by about twenty-five pounds or more per man. The game itself was a good one and both teams got a chance to show their knowledge of the game. The touch downs for the Alumni were made by Tuttle, Metcalf, Giroux 2, and Hayden 2. For the High School Clay Hayden made the only touch down on a return kick by the High School, which after being fumbled by three or four Al¬ umni players rolled over their goal line and was downed.

Neither did Manteno secure the coveted £ honor, adherance to facts compels us to say they scored but 9 points. Herscher fell outside the breastworks, struggling nobly with 20 points. Kankakee—well, but why go on as long as we have thus tempered the winds to the shorn lambs. Kankakee was second. Momence Won! Momence started right off the reel, like a hungry boy at work on a strawberry shortcake. Grimes turned loose in the 50 which had been put up with camphor balls this winter as the especial property of Norris of Kankakee. Grimes not only won it, but Allen from the same province as Grimes pushed Norris for second place. Grimes, just to show that there was no mistake about the 50, tucked away the 100 yards, also the special property of Norris who had filed on the claim ever since 1909 and was supposed to have a clear title. Allen again trod on the heels of Norris, who proved to be only a squatter after all. Thinking that the cup of Kankakee’s woe was not suffi¬ ciently full, Allen and Grimes proceeded to pour carbolic acid in the wounds of the beautiful girls and handsome youths from Kankakee and trotted in ahead of Norris in the 220 yard. A little latter the same man Grimes hitched the 440 yard to his girdle, although Riggs of Kankakee made him realize that he was not on the way to Sunday school on a June morning when the sw imming was good. The subsequent proceedings did not have the same in¬ tense interest to the Kankakee school that it would have had ordinarily. True, they saw Healy and Moss, the long and short of it for Kankakee, run away with the mile like a dog with a leg of lamb with the butcher chasing him, but it came much in the light with which a man hears that his rich uncle has left him $1,000 when $5,000 was the least he had hoped for. There were other events on the program, which the list of events given hereafter will denote, but most of them had such a depressing effect on Kankakeeans that every time Momence and Herscher engineered some coup it was a hard job for them to look pleasant and converse of anything but the likelihood of the fruit being nipped by some unexpected frost like the Mo¬ mence dam proposition. Silver medals were given for first place, bronze for sec¬ ond, and a ribbon for third. The final score was MOMENCE 59, Kankakee 29, Herscher 20, Manteno 9, and St. Anne 0. The points for Momence were divided as follows: Allen 29, Grimes 19, Crosby 5, Dubridge 3, Tuttle 3. (Kankakee Comment.) Bv the way, if this boy Grimes w ' ants to come to Kankakee to school he can have his choice of seats and mayhe be kissed by the best looking lady teacher on the faculty every morning. We don’t guarantee anything, however. And young Mr. Allen was a notable example of what close application to developing muscle and wind can do. He can have a seat down here right behind Grimes and be allowed to bound Illinois on the north by Momence City, on the south by Momence Township, on the east by Indiana and on the west by Ganeer, without being called down for it.

PEN PICTURES FROM REAL LIFE JEAN BIGELOW ARTHUR CARLSON Grace Hunte I passed through the ordinary course of education with success and was seized with a passion for still more. Raymond Keeler His hair is crisp. Herman Crosby Let us be patient. Hazel McConnell Unto the ground she cast her modest eye, The bashful blush her cheek did dye.

Dean Howk Let come w ' hat will, I mean to bear it out. Bernice Astle Take heed of jesting, many have been ruined by it. Mabel Clapsadfe This busy world and I shall never agree. Beatrice Butterfield As fresh as morning roses newdy washed with dew. Juniors Give us where we may stand and w r e will move the world.

Ethel Dwyer A fun-loving nature, o’er flowing with mirth. Nora Lynds Mischief looks from her laughing brown eyes. Harry Seavey Black as a raven was his hair.

Seniors Heaven itself would stoop to them. Anthony Parish Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong. Clay Hayden I never was but always am to be. Mathamatics The classes whose annual ciphering took a ton of chalk. McKinley Hayden Of stature he was of even length. Wayne Allen Ful big he was of braun, and eek of bones. Earl Todd Ful longe were his legges and full lean. Walter DuBridge You see my face is beardless, smooth and plain. Viola Oleson I feel rather small. Everett Fountaine Small show of man was yet upon his chin. Sophomores How “tempus” does “fugit. ” Laurence McConnell He had aims of uncertain issue.

Dorothy elson She talks and talks, gets rattled, then sits down. Lorene Hill There’s rest for me and comfort free In the tones of my violin. The Pennant ’Twill be talked of for long years to come. Leonard Gordinier Just crammed with knowledge of Geometry from your head to your heel. Arthur Carlson We have debated and hesitated long enough. The time has come to act. Helen Kirby Some people were born musical. LeRoy Grimes A city clerk, unused to labor hard. Oscar Hanson He was the best of all musicians; when he played the village listened. Bernard Renstrom One ear heard it, and at the other it went out. Bessie Brassard A bonnie lass, light hearted and content. Amanda Johnson She is calm but not cold. Jean Bigelow Her modest looks a cottage might adorn. Gertrude Smith The very flower of youth. Ruby Tuttle She had two faults or maybe three. Mr. Crull His words are so wise.

FACE-BREAKERS JEAN BIGELOW ARTHUR CARLSON Never Had ’Em. “The sparrows,” said Mr, Crull in Zoology, “have become almost as numerous as the worms.” Noticing that Elwyn Bradley was inattentive he suddenly asked: “Now, Elwyn, which do you think are the worst—the worms or sparrows?” “Don’t know, ” answered Elwyn, “I never had the spar¬ rows.’’ ‘ ‘Dear teacher, ’ ’ wrote a parent who evidently disapproved of corporal punishment, “Don’t hit our Sammy. We never do it at home except in self-defense.” A Gentle Girl. One of the girls in the Physics class refuses to boil water for fear of hurting the germs. “I don’t like your heart action, ” said the doctor who was examining Wayne Allen, previous to the track meet, “You have had some trouble with Angina Pectoris.” “You’re partly right Doctor,” said Wayne sheepishly, “only that isn’t her name.” A Startling Discovery. A member of the Physiology class has made the startling discovery that the ankle is placed between the foot and knee in order to keep the calf away from the corn. Looks reasonable,, does it not? Editor: “Why do you call this picture “Dawn?” Effle Lundstrom: “Because few people know what dawn looks like; hence they are likely to take my word for it.” He: “What kind of a stone would you like to have in your ring, Bessie?” She: “Oh, Charlie, I’ve heard so much about base ball diamonds. Do you suppose they are very expensive?” Walter DuBridge reading Virgil: “Three times I strove to cast my arms about her neck, and,-that’s as far as I got. ’ ’ Miss McKinnie: “Well, I think that was quite far enough.” The Sophomore class was reciting in geometry. “And have you proved this proposition?” asked Mr. Winans. Axsel Peterson: “Well, proved is a rather strong word, but I can say that I have rendered it highly probable.” Mr. Crull has decided that Zoology is his favorite study. “James,” said Mr. K.. “Did you have any trouble with any of the examination questions?” “No,” answered J., “The questions were all right, but it was the answers that troubled me. ” At Kankakee on Track Meet Day. Nora Lynds in ice cream parlor: “There’s a hair in my soda. ’ ’ Clerk: “It’s that boy again, he’s so careless in shaving the ice.” Mr. Crull in Botany: “The three boys at the north table were the only ones to get correct answers in the test.” Voice from the rear: “Good team work.” At the Photographers. “Look pleasant, please,” warned Mr. Lane. “What!” exclaimed Mary Clark, “With your photos at $18 per dozen!” One day Grace Hunte came into the Bazaar store and said to the clerk, (LeRoy Grimes.) “Give me one of those five cent mouse traps, and hurry up, please, I want to catch a train.” On Field Day at Kankakee. Waiter: “What will you have sir?” Lawrence McConnell: “I’ll have some chicken, I guess.” Waiter: “What part of the chicken do you prefer?” Lawence: “The meat.” James Kirby: “I’m going to a surprise party tonight.” George Bukowslci: “That so?” “What are you going to take for a present?” James: “Not going to take anything. I don’t want to surprise ’em too much.” Mr. Crull in Physiology: “What is the death rate in Mo- mence, Hilton?” Hilton Nichols: “One death to every person.” Everett Fountaine: “My brother used to be a miner.” Miss McKinnie: “What was he, a gold miner, or a silver miner?” Everett: “Neither, he was a calciminer.” High School Fashion Hints. Stripes will be longer than they are wide, this season. Velvet will be worn with the fuzzy side out this Spring. A high tan shoe is quite stylish, providing the other one is also worn. The Kankakee River. The Junior English class had been asked to write three interesting facts concerning the Kankakee river. The follow¬ ing was on Anthony Parish’s paper. “I have lived near it. “I have skated over it. “I have fallen into it. He: “So you won t kiss and make up? Maude Hupp: “I won’t make up. Results from the Study of English Grammar. A Junior, Sophomore and Freshman were looking at a vase. Said the Junior: “What an exquisite vase. Said the Sophomore: “What a beautiful vase. ' ’ Said the Freshman: “Hul y gee! kids, git onto de jug. Class Stones. Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Emerald. Blarney Stone. Grind Stone. Tomb Stone. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI OFFICERS.
