It’s in the cheery words you speak and in the coins you lend; Success is not alone in skill and deeds of daring great, It ' s in the roses that you plant beside your garden gate. Success is in the way you walk the paths of life each day, It’s in the little things you do and in the things you say; Success is in the glad hello you give your fellow man, It s in the laughter of our home and all the joys you plan. Success is not in getting rich or rising high to fame. It’s not alone in winning goals which all men hope to claim, It’s in the man you are each day through happiness or care. It ' s in the cheery words you speak and in the smile you wear. Success is being big of heart and clean and broad of mind, It’s being faithful to your friends, and to the stranger kind; It’s in the children whom you love, and all they learn from you. Success depends on character and everything you do. THE MONESSE 1921 Nine Ten THE MON H. A. WILK, A. B. PRINCIPAL AND MATHE¬ MATICS.

If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win but you think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, your’re lest; For out in the world we find. Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are; You’ve got to think high to rise, You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can. S S E 19 2 1 PROMISE YOURSELF To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world—not in loud words, but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. 1 Sixteen THE MONESSE 1921 Seniors Atherton Cooke (Cookie) Momence-4 years in M. C. H. S.

The judge, Mr. Theodore Johnson, sat as stiff and digni¬ fied in his trailing black robes as the position de¬ manded. The jury sat immovable. Judge Johnson rose majestically and addressed them in a sonorous voice. ‘‘Gentlemen, we are assembled here for a very serious reason. Mr. Ernest Hardy, an aviator of more than ordinary fame, has been indicted by Po¬ liceman Harry Hunte for violating the traffic rules. He landed his machine on the wrong side of the Milky Way. His defendant, Lawyer Ault of Pump¬ kin Center, says that the crime is perfectly excusable, as the accused slid on a banana peel. I have called together as witnesses a number of his old classmates, in order that I may hear your sentiments, and that you, gentlemen, may hear their testimony.” At that, he gravely called out the name Mrs. Hardy, and sat down. I became interested, for I had often wondered who was the lucky girl. Mrs. Hardy, whom I recognized as Laura Martin, rose and testi¬ fied with many tears, frequently calling out to her husband in endearing terms. After her, Gilbert Mussman stood up, and, as the prosecutor, gave a brilliant oration on the reasons why Hardy should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Judge Johnson then called on Mr. Cooke, a pro¬ fessor of astronomy at Harvard University. I was rather surprised, but when I remembered Cooke’s penchant for star gazing on moon-light nights, I eas¬ ily accounted for it. Albert Hunte, a head waiter in a large restaurant in Chicago, testified as to Hardy’s excellent reputa¬ tion in his old home town, and even told of his bas¬ ket ball record during his High School days. Margaret Hobart, a member of Mack Sennett’s Bathing Beauties of 1930, and her husband, an un¬ dertaker, were ushered in. After an expectant pause, the doorkeeper announc¬ ed the arrival of Mr. McKinstry, originator of the famous “McKinstry Wild and Wooly Freak Carni¬ val.” He stalked majestically in and took a seat beside Lorraine Wiltse, who, I afterwards heard, was now the austere leader of a delegation picketing the White House, for the abolition of dancing “in any manner, shape or form!” Alma Hall, still a school teacher at Edgetown, rose, at Judge Johnson’s bidding, and told of Hardy’s unusual ability to run the Bijou Motion Picture The¬ atre, in the days of his youth. Lila Kennedy, seated next to Policeman Hunte, whom I understood was her “better half,” had been a member of the Follies, dazzling her audience in general until she dazzled Harry in particular. Marie Kinney was among those in the assembly to testify. She and Jessie Greenawalt had just returned from a tour of Europe, and were planning to set up bachelor apartments in New York eventually. Alice King, with Bernice Davis as a helper, was at the head of an orphan asylum, as proof whereof she led in a frail little specimen, following meekly in her wake. Twenty-Two THE MONESSE 1921 Della Brown had surprised all her classmates by being a snake charmer in Ralph’s side show, while Gladys Ward was private secretary to a millionaire in Salt Lake City. It was rumored that she was seri ously considering matrimony. Genola Walker was a manicurist and Ruby Ross a hair dresser—her specialty being spit curls. Lulu Meinzer was an author of several frivolous novels, much read by the ‘‘sweet young things” of the day. Last of all, Judge Johnson called on Mildred Fedde, who, he said, ought to have much valuable information to give, having lived neighbors to Ernest all through her High School career. Mildred, strange to say, was still enjoying a life of solitary bliss, earn¬ ing her living by posing as an artist’s model from three to five every afternoon. Judge Johnson rose. A hush fell over the entire courtroom. After conferring with the jury, he spoke in a grave voice, ‘‘After the testimony of his friends and school mates, the jury has passed its verdict. Mr. Isaac Ernest Hardy has been acquitted, but-’’and here he shook a warning finger at his trembling subject ‘‘don’t let it happen again!” © FROM THE SENIORS When Freshmen, the Seniors loved to play, When Sophomore they loved to “boss,” In their Junior Year, they wouldn’t stay To make up the time they’d lost. So when their last year in school rolled round, (Of course, some had credits enough) But others had seemingly lost so much ground That they said, “Gosh, they’re treating us rough.” Then of course, they began to feel rather ashamed And thought themselves “maltreated creatures,” Of course there was no one they should have blamed. But they said, “It’s the fault of the teachers.” THE MONESSE 1921 Twenty-Three Senior Class IDill We, the Seniors of the Momence Community High School, city of Momence, County of Kankakee, State of Illinois, of the United States of North America, care of Superintendent Iriving Munson, the majority of us being in our right minds at this particular time, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all other legal papers, wills or bequests of whatsoever nature made by us.

Thirty THE MONESSE 192 1 IPhere Do VJe Qo7 I had been traveling in India for some time and visit¬ ing many spots of interest, and decided to end the trip by a visit to a crystal gazer. About six o’clock I discovered one and after waiting a few minutes was ushered into her presence. She was in a small room hung with silk draperies and heavy with the odor of burning incense. The room was lighted from a skylight. I sat down and gazed at the crys¬ tal. “What do you wish?” she asked. I started forward, the voice sounded familiar, but-it was impossible—I knew no one here. “I wish to see the class of 22 as they are now,” I whispered. “Look,’’ she cried, as the crystal became a milkly white, blue fleecy clouds, sailing by- Then there was a small opening in the center; at this I gazed intently. Was it a snow storm? No, I could see, now clearly, two of my old classmates being showered with rice. It was a wedding and a very jolly one at that, for the bride, Gladys Hardy, and the groom, Fred Brassard, were laughing and running for the low racing car by the curb. As they started to clamber in Elizabeth Popejoy, by whose manner I could see was a “hash slinger,’’ stepped on the bride’s veil and tore it. I started to laugh and the crystal clouded. The misty clouds soon parted again. This time the scene was that of a very busy street. A large car shot out from a cross street and overturned a small fruit cart. It was Miss Mary Harlan, one of America most noted painters. She tried to console the man, who turned to her a face purple with rage—it was Earl Chamberlain, who had tired of farm life and answered the call of the city. Again the crystal clouded and cleared on a scene of festivities-a lawn party with Helen Nichcls as hostess and the host a tall handsome man I did not know. A number of my old classmates were present, among them Donald Cu f; . sole owner of the Curtis Trust Bank in Grar� + Park; Ruth C- O’Connell and her husband; Robert Hanlon and his curly pompadour towards which all spinsterish eyes were turn¬ ed; Edith Gibson, who stayed away from her work long enough to sing at the party (she was a grand opera sing¬ er-and her teacher was Howard Sharkey) ; Pro¬ fessor Hertz with his dearest friend and advisor, Harriet Pittman. That was all, and I waited for some time, then l saw the rest of the cla s-Clarice Lamport and Walter Logan, who were on the Lyceum Course; Wesley Langdoc, an expert at barberirg and gossiping-—particularly the lat¬ ter. I could tell this by the manner in which he was cutting Ruby Wilson’s hair and talking to her about her croupe, which had iust arrived in Momence. Ruby was :he wild woman of Schramblin Bros. Franklin Gambel finally gave up trying to figure what “x” equaled and he was now a sky pilot lone Chappell nad mastered the French language and was in France, teaching them to talk. These facts were rather jumbled to¬ gether but 1 managed to make them out and after a brief rest the crystal gazer again bent toward the globe. I saw three nolice women riding on large white hmr es and guarding the traffic. The largest was Mabel Mills, whose husband was a policeman, and the other two were Jennie Harms and Elizabeth LaRoche. THE MONESSE 1921 Thirty-One 1 next saw a hairdressing parlor, with the sign “Mills Jones-” When I had viewed the interior I saw Misses Elva Jones and Lucille Mills doing a wonderful job of hairdress¬ ing on Jennie Pedersen, who was that night to make her first public appearance in “Big Little Women,” the big¬ gest hit since “Aphrodite Then I saw a chicken ranch, and Arthur Hupp among the chickens, as usual. He was a retired dancing in¬ structor. Clyde Coffel was living in California, k raised oranges. Mildred Rice was a school-teacher, but not for long—I glimpsed a solitaire on her left hand. 1 began to worry over some of my classmates. Where were they? The crystal was flooded with water, and in the center appeared a large ship. The captain, Albert Kelson, seemed overjoyed at seeing an old friend on board, for he talked a long time with Helen Lundstrom, who was go¬ ing to be a nurse in foreign lands. Florence Greenawalt had also answered that call, for another war had broken out in restless Europe. Etha Shaffer was in a large establish¬ ment in Chicago, the owner of a dry goods store. £ I looked for the crystal to cloud again but I was dis¬ appointed. What is the matter,” I asked curiously, “that surely is not all of the class” “Why, who else was there,” the Crystal Gazer said, and looked squarely at me. Leota, I exclaimed. “Yes,” she answered coldly, “I was named that while yet an infant.” “Then you are the Crystal Gazer,’ I said. “Yes,” she repeated, “and you—? Oh! it’s Irene!” We talked for a long time—then she rang for the butler to show me the way out- It proved to be none other than Albert Hyrup, who could do nothing more successfully than anyone I know. As I walked to my hotel I resolved to post an entry in my diary which should read thus: “The fate of 22 is de¬ termined.” THINGS TO FORGET AND REMEMBER Forget each kindness tha tyou do, As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls to you, The moment you have won it. Forget the slander, that you hear Before you can repeat it; Forget each spite, each slight, each sneer, Whenever you may meet it. Remember every kindness done To you, what’er its measure; Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made, And keep it to the letter; Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor. Thirty-T wo THE MONESSE 192 1 Qri] Ijour Luck Sarah fane suddenly bounced up from among the pil¬ lows. “Oh, listen Kate, listen girls, see here what I’ve found: Mr. S. S. is now at his office and has offered himself as the slave of a pretty girl—but—how to get Mr. S. S. for this capacity? Merely buy votes at 50c apiece—keep your vote and when the lucky number is drawn, we will bring Mr. S. S. to the lucky girl. Now iust because Mr. S Q . refuses to have his identity known—don’t be afraid girls- We truthfully state that Mr. S. S. is very handsome has especially beautiful wavy brown hair, is young and has large brown eyes. He has been a screen favorite and nearly every one of you has seen him at some time or another-’ “Well now I don’t ever remember anyone like that— oh of course there are loads of them but you don’t sup- pose— oh no it couldn’t be he. But don’t you think it sounds interesting?” Sarah Jane was addressing a group of about eight fudge-makers in her room at Miss Pinker¬ ton’s fashionable boarding school. The idea of buying votes seemed to make an imme¬ diate hit. “I et me see it, Sarah Jane—dosen’t it give his name? Mr. S- S.-—do you suppose those could be his real ini¬ tials—I don’t think so—■” “H’s name’s probably Sam Smith and even if he has brown eyes and beautiful curly hair we may have een him in the comedies. Probably his eyes are crossed—no, I don’t think I’ll take such chances. “Oh cheer up, Flo, even if you won’t buy any, loan me two dollars, won’t you? Now be a good girl—-I’ll put all my books up as security.’’ This came from Sarah Jane —the “always-broke” of the crowd. It was finally decided that they would all send you votes—all unbeknown to Miss Pinkerton, however. The day for drawing the number came—and who was the lucky one to be? The girls were rather frightened. What would Miss Pinkerton say if they drew the number? Without a doubt thev’d be expelled—fo think of the publicity this would give her school, now that the contest had grown to such large proportions! No one slept that night, so anxious were they to know what number had been drawn, for it was only through the paper that they’d know. The whole breakfast table gazed in silent horror at Miss Sarah Jane! The number drawn was Sarah Jane’s—of all the catastrophies when it was only done in fun! The bell rang. Someone to see Miss Sarah Jane,’’—Kate leaned over and said, “Oh, Jane, you poor kid—but I’ll help you out any way you want me to—play he’s a relative.’’ No one ate, no one spoke until Sarah Jane should re¬ turn with her prize. “Oh, girls, look who’s here-this is my prize,” and she held up a “curly haired, brown eyed, Pomeranian Pup, “and his name is Mr. Spink Spank.” THE MONESSE 1921 Thirty-Three Thirty-Four THE MONESSE 1921 Sophmores CLASS OFFICERS President .Edmund Hess Vice-President .Lula Jones Secretary-Treasurer .Stuart Hill Historian .Leila Inslee Class Roll Charlotte Astle Edmond Hess Herman Krone Clyde Bishop Stuart Hill Esther Nelson John Butterfield Fred Bydalek Henry Novack Adolph Bydalek Leila Inslee Arthur Nusbaum Clyde Cantway Hilma Johnson Anna Pinsak Gladys DuMontelle Theodore Johnson Dorothy Smith Edmond Franklin Lula Jones Theresa Wheeler Gladys Gagnon Barbara King Julie Paradis Wilmet Green Raymond Martin Opal Golding Fred Metcalf I ' HE MONESSE 1921 Thirty-Five Sophmore Class Thirty-Six THE MONESSE 1921 TDhen the Girls Qet Together to Study of an Evening “In 1673 Marquette discovered the Mississippi- In 1673 Marquette dis—What did you say, Ju?

For they did Something quite unknown In our school at least before, They published a paper all their own Full of school history and high school lore. So they’re not as bad as some have been, That they’re original you can say, Though their faults by themselves are never seen Their good points at your feet they’ll ever lay.

Is this where they play? They don ' t even have ushers do they? Well, where are the baskets? Just those round rings? I don’t see any handles or obttoms to them. What do they have those white lines on the floor, for? Oh, look, there is Arthur Hupp. Isn’t he a peach? O, well you needn’t be jealous about it. I suppose the other fellows in those green suits are our fellows too. I didn’t know Dick was so tall. What do you call that man “forward’’ for? I think he’s acting all right. ‘O, they’re starting now. Why does he have to stay in that little tiny circle? Why, I don’t see how Harry can get it if they both jump at once. Why don’t they take turns? Why does our side throw in that basket all the time? I should think they would try the other one. It’s so much closer. Gee, how that scared me! They are regular brutes to run right up against us like that and fight over the ball, Let’s stand up like the other side does. Why does he blow the whistle so loud? Why, he took the ball right away from Bob. Why doesn’t the guard make him give it back? Gee, see those boys run into each other! I’ll bet that hurt Ikey when he went into the wall. Doesn’t he slide around though? Why, they threw the ball in! It oughtn’t to count for it hit the board first. “There goes the whistle again. That man must want to attract attention. Why doesn’t Mr. Hall coach instead of chew gum? O, is the first half over? How many halves are there? Well, you needn’t laugh. Why don’t they begin again? Don’t they look hot? There goes the whistle. Go it Dick! Look at that big fellow pushing Mitch. He ought to be ashamed of himself. Where is Dick now? O, did they put Ikey in instead? Gee, is this half over al¬ ready? Look at those boys. Gee, they are yelling for the other team. Well, I’m glad Momence won, anyway. I’m coming again. Gee!” £ HOW FRESHMEN OUGHT TO THINK. MYSELF. I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know, I want to be able as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye; I don’t want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for things I’ve done. I don’t want to keep on the closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of man I really am; I don’t want to dress up myself in sham. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men’s respect; rtut li re in the struggle for fame and pelf I want to be able !to like myself; I don’t want to look at myself and know That I’m bluster and bluff and empty show. I can never hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know.what others may never know; I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free.— (Anon.) THE MON ESSE 1921 Forty-One Profitable Comment A stitch in time saves embarrassing moments. Opportunity will find you if you are worth finding. If you eat green onions, don’t breathe it to a soul. A pessimist is a man who wears a belt and a pair of suspenders at the same time. Many a young man has been ruined by the discov¬ ery that he could part his hair in the middle. The nicest way to commit suicide is to die of too much study. The faculty must worry about some of us. Report cards are just like women. You can t tell anything about them until you get them. How times have changed! The old fashioned girl used to be in at nine o’clock while now they just start out for the evening at that time. On the day of the surrender of Lee at Appoma- tox, Lee was handsomely attired in a new Confed¬ erate uniform and carried his sword with ease. In contrast was Grant who had nothing on but an old Union suit. £ MY SENTIMENTS Somebody’s got to be steady. And stick to the regular job, Somebody’s got to be ready To toil with the laboring mob. Somebody’s got to be trudging. The path from the house to the mill. Somebody’s got to be drudging At work that has never a thrill. All of us cannot be left to roam Careless and blythe and free; Somebody’s got to stay at home- Somebody else-not me. Forty-Two THE MONESSE 1921 aitoria Again the Year Book, heralding the progress of dear old M. C. H. S., comes before the public. Each year parents and friends have the privilege of viewing a product apparently incommensurable with the labor, time, and energy consumed by the members of the Junior Class assisted by the faculty. Only those who have experienced such an undertak¬ ing can fully appreciate the onerous task of this pub¬ lication. But to reveal this long story would seem pessimistic and regretful. We wouldn’t think of do¬ ing it. The members of the Junior Class are only too glad to have this opportunity each year., not only in order to put before the community some¬ thing for which purchasers get value received, not merely that new faces may be impaneled and new authors may be read, but, also, for the experience, both literary and business, they receive in making the production a success. We have said at the beginning that this book speaks for the success of our own M. C. H. S. Each year it stands for something more. This year our high school is larger than ever before. It has a larger faculty, a bigger student body, a broader cur¬ riculum. A student attending M. C. H. 8. now has all the advantages of the student attending the large city high schools. He can engage in nearly all the extra-curricular activities given anywhere, viz., all kinds of athletics, all forms of music, public speaking and debating, and all the social activities. He can enter our high school with the satisfaction of know¬ ing, first, that we are not only recognized by the State Department at Springfield, and not only accred¬ ited to the University of Illinois for one or two years, but accredited now for three full years; second, that we receive credit at the University for more subjects than ever before. Our accredited subjects now in¬ clude two years of Domestic Science, three years of Agriculture, two years of Manual Training, one year of General Science, one-half year of Commercial law, and one-half year of Economics. Are we going to be satisfied with this? No. We want and expect even greater things. Next year, no doubt, we shall be accredited by the North Central Association, we want to increase our enrollment, we want to enlarge our curriculum, we want to improve our work as students and teachers, we want to per¬ fect the co-operation of the community, and thereby increasingly improve the citizens we graduate each year.

Holding that position on the staff of this year’s annual I sup¬ pose it is my duty to fill up a vacant space with some sort of “words thrown together’ and let it pass as an editorial. Not that I’m anxious to perform my assigned task for I hate to write this thing as much as you hate to read it but I should dislike more to break the laws of custom. It is hardly necessary, I think, to go into the details of the trials and tribulations of a year-book staff. You all, no doubt, have heard them over and over again. Each year as new ideas enter the heads of the chosen few new trials and worries are added. So you see if I were to go into details about them it would cove r more space than I am allowed. I would, however, like to comment on a few things that happened under this years staff. Almost every high school, of any size worth men¬ tioning, edits either a school paper, whether weekly or monthly, or a year obok. It has always been the custom here to edit a year book, and that task is the assigned task of a staff picked from the Junior class. This years staff was chosen and began work the first part of September. When it came time for the year book contest the student body as a whole lacked pep and did not, any of the time, show the enthusiasm of former years. Do we want to break the custom of putting out a book? Of course not. We want our school to stand for as much and be as important as any other school. But that cannot be done if the student body will not co-operate with the Junior class and more especially the staff. One important step taken by the staff of ’21 was that of choosing a permanent name for the book. It is much easier to speak of it by a name familiar to all, as they do at colleges, instead of securing a new one each year; one that has no meaning. A more appropriate name, I think could not have been chos¬ en. The Monesse, the Indian name for Momence, is different from all others and one that will be used by none save M. C. H. S. And now in concluding I wish, in behalf of the staff, success to the staff of ’22. THE M O N E S S E 19 2 1 Forty-Five Forty-Six THE MONESSE 192!

Fifty THE MONESSE 1921 The First Freshmen Party Along about the 14th of October, forty foolish Freshmen decided to “show’’ the upper classmen and indulge in an exciting little spree of their own. Ac¬ cordingly, at 6:15 p. m. on the eventful eve., they set off gaily for Adams’, though it was raining an’ everything—-nothing will daunt a thing as green as a Freshman, where they piled egotistically into Astle’s Ford and Himy’s Oldsmobile and set out for Ras¬ mussens . And while they were there, says rumor, somebody broke a ‘big prize bean from South America and I don’t think their host exactly gave thanks. And what do you think? Those forty foolish Freshmen never got home until 10:30! © Second Freshmen Party The second Freshmen Party, was held in Philo Hall, on Thursday, March 24. Freshman intentions are always good, however, and they had planned for two weeks to hold the big affair at Whitings’ five miles clear into the country. But Fate intervened in the shape of a bad storm and they ate their ice cream and cake on he platform of old Philo Hall. The chaperons were Messrs. Hall and Wilk and Misses Melby and Helena Hardy. £ The air with frost is laden, Southward the birds have flown, Oh! tell me pretty maiden; Do you still roll your own? The Ag. Club The Ag Club was organized by Mr. Harold N- Hungerford two years ago. The rules provide “That the organization organize on the first and third Thursdays of each calendar month But in reality they “meet when they feel like it.” Three parties have been given by this recognized brotherhood, under the supervision of Mr Harold N. Hungerford. President . .Albert Hunte Vice-President ....Ikey Hardy Secretary . Harry Hunte Treasurer .....Ralph McKinstry © © Cooke: I wish I could improve my dancing Mildred: The feeling is mutual. Loraine W.: “What a sick looking watch.” Walter Scott: “Yes, its hours are numbered.” Right gaily he rang the door bell. And asked for the charming Miss Tubbs. “What, not in? Too bad. My card if you please.” And he passed out the jack of clubs. It raised quite a fashionable scandal, And left one heart rounded and sore, For she was a minister s daughter, And he-—doesn’t play cards any more. Fifty-One Agricultural Club Fifty-Two THE MONESSE 1921 The year book banquet On January 24th, the students and faculty gath¬ ered in Philo Hall for the leading social event of the High School year. Familiar Philo Hall was drap¬ ed effectively in purple and gold, the Junior colors forming canopies over our bounteous repast, the cred¬ it of which was due entirely to Miss McMannis and her indispensible assistants. The menu was: Fruit Cocktail Breaded Veal Escallopped Corn Saratoga Chips Buttered Rolls Candle Salad Strawberry Ice Cream Coffee Cake Nuts Toastmaster Cooke then commenced the toasts in that clever scrupulous manner of which we have all heard too much.

THE MONESSE 1921 Fifty-Three “The Hoodoo” Mr. Dun.....- —. Walter Logan The Burglar One of the best amateur plays ever given in Mo¬ rn ence was produced on April 22 and 23 by the High School Dramatic Class, under the direction of Miss Ross. “The Hoodoo” is a comedy of the mis¬ fortunes attending the possession of an Egyptian searab-by members of a wedding party. All of the parts were well acted, but those of Dodo, Hemachus and Aunt Paradise are particularly worthy of men¬ tion. Two changes of cast were necessary. Lucile Mills took the place of lone Chappell, who was obliged to leave school, and Mr. Hall admirably took the part of Professor Spiggot on a few days notice, owing to the illnes of Archie Ault.

The Dramatics Class “The Hoodoo’’ presented on April 22nd and 2 3rd v as given solely for the benefit of “The Monesse ” This play is the first of its kind to be staged for several years, though several operettas have been presented. All the members of the Dramatics Class took part, under the direction of Miss Ross. The class was organized at the beginning of the second semester. It allows one-half credit. Cj C ) The Art Class The Art Class was added to cur M. C. H. S. curri¬ culum this year by Miss Helena Hardy. Several stu¬ dents were found who were willing to come to school at 8:00 a. m. to take the desired subject. It was car¬ ried the entire year and allows one-half credit.

Fifty-Six THE MONESSE 1921 The Operetta Sylvia, who has tired of her betrothed and wand¬ ered into the hayfield, overhears Betty bemoaning her fate and wishing she were engaged to a noble¬ man instead of rough and ready William Sylvia sug- | ests that, as they are both discontented with their lovers they change gowns and sweet-hearts Betty tells of a flower called “Cupid’s Eye’’ which would blind the poet and farmer to the fact that an ex change had been made and the girls set off to find the flower. Meanwhile, Betty’s companions, who had left her in the hayfield, return to find her. They meet the farm lads, and, promise to meet them at the stile that evening. As the lads go on to work, Dolly sud¬ denly discovers a cloud, which throws all into great consternation, as they fear rain. At this critical moment, Prince Tobbytum, appears in the field and they besiege him, thinking him the weather clerk. Indignantly he informs them that he is a man of consequence, trying to impress them with his high social position. Sylvia and Betty return, dressed in each others clothes, with the magic flower. They fool De Lacy and William De Lacy takes Betty for a “soulful stroll” while Wiliam rushes the haughty Lady Sylvia off to “dig potatoes.” Robin sounds the dinner horn and the haymakers return to spend the noonday hour in the hayfield. Act II Toward the close of the afternoon, the haymakers rest and stroll to and fro in the cool evening, while the girls set out to the stile. Sylvia, returns to the field as Betty rushes in, having run away from De Lacy and a bull. They re¬ tire to change gowns deciding that henceforth they will be satisfield. Unfortunately, they were seen dur¬ ing the afternoon by ladies Arabella and Araminta and this news is imparted to Prince Tobbytum, who resolves to expose and humiliate Lady Sylvia before the whole court. William with the farm lads and daughters, are seek- Betty, when William runs into De Lacy. The men are about to come to blows when Sylvia and Betty rush in and separate them The ladies Arabella and Araminta, thinking they were mistaken when they see Betty with William and Sylvia with De Lacy, beg the Prince to be quiet He, however, tries to make mischief but is foiled in his attempt. A song of greeting to the harvest moon ends the evening and all wend their way homeward.

He took part in Track, Baseball, Basket ball, and was fullback in Football. He came here with the intention of making a real football team and he did. Many of the candidates for the sport did not understand the game thoroughly and some knew hardly anything about it, but after a few weeks of steady practise we had a light yet very fast team, of real players. As a result we won a high percent of the games- Hall will always be remembered by us because of his most influencing means of making us work, his paddle. BASKET BALL COACH— WILK Mr- Wilk, a graduate of Illinois and an accomplish¬ ed man in Basket ball, came here with a knowledge and understanding of the game that alone would have made him a good coach, but his earnestness and desire to see us establish a record breaking team helped him and us a great deal. He was a believer in close training and enforced that as much as pos¬ sible. As a result many of the light smokers quit en¬ tirely and others cut down a good deal during the season. The team proved to be quite successful as can be seen in the account of the sport above. Prof: “Let me tax your memory?” Student (abruptly): ”Has it come to this?” MR MUNSON MGR. AND PROMOTER OF ALL SPORTS A great deal of credit should be and is given to Mr- Munson for the athletic success of the year 1920 21. He aided in every possible manner to make it such. He took responsibility of finances and arranged all of our schedules for us, and in every way possible fostered athletic developement in the school. TO GRADUATING ATHLETES To you, graduating athletes we wish to state our disappointment in having to play without you in fu¬ ture years. Yet we hope that you will win even great¬ er honors in athletics in the future. May your life battles be won in the same manner as our athletic struggles, by team work and fair play. Porter: “Mistah, you’ll have to remove that suitcase from the aisle.” Mr. Munson: “What! That’s no suitcase. That’s my foot.” Miss Ross: “What is the first thing the Israelites did after crossing the Red Sea?” Heime S. : ‘ They dried themselves.” THE MONESSE 1921 Sixty-One Football The season started with half a dozen veterans, namely, Captain Hunte, Scott, W. Green, Hardy and Hupp. Captain Hunte began in his old place at half back, but was shifted to quarter, wherein he greatly strengthened the team. He had a good head and could gain by plunges and open field running. His best game was with Dwight. Scott was a dependable tackle and was always there with the punch making him a man feared by the opposition. W. Green play¬ ed end but was later shifted to half back and there showed excellent promise of an offensive back. E. Green played only a few games at end before leav¬ ing school. Hardy, a guard of last year, filled his old position and put up a game fight in every game. Hupp, another guard, was tried in back field and at tackle, but was finally placed on end when Green went to back field. Cantway, Captain elect, played the whole season at half back and found no opposition able to stop him. He was a valuable man not only for line bucks, end runs, and a receiver of passes, but his defensive work was remarkable. His best game was with Watseka, at Momence, Logan at full back showed much promise of developing in to a star. Hyrup at center put up a grand fight and never quit as was shown by the knocks he received, being laid out in four games. H. Hunte was a stone wall at guard and never permitted a play to go through him. Hanlon, a plucky end, used his speed to good ad¬ vantage by carrying forward passes for touchdowns. Davis, the one hundred thirty pound tackle, hung on like a bull dog and seemed always in the way of the opposition s plays. Ward, Coffel, Hess and Nusbaum were dependable substitutes and could be used at any time. Seasons Games Due to a little stage fright, our lads were defeated by Kankakee, 47-0, but they had the experience of a game and came back and defeated Bradley by the score of 20-3. The training was intense at this time to defeat Watseka, but fate was against us and we were defeated in the last few minutes of play 7-0. We were next visited by Dwight, a heavier aggregation, and the result was a tie 7-7. The next game was with Milford. There by using some new plays and more team work, we piled up the score of 55-6. We then travelled to Watseka on a cold day and lost by the score of 2 7-0. Bradley was the next victim, score 2 7- 1 3. This game should have been lost. Coach Hall was absent and the boys did net seem to know how to act, but by a little luck managed to win. The final game on Thanksgiving was at Milford, in which we won by the score of 2 7-13 due to the playing of Green at at half back. SCHEDULE M. C. H. S. . 0 Kankakee .. _ 47 M. C. H.

Hunte more than cover¬ ed his position. It took him quite a while to learn how to ;un his plays to the best effect but he soon became a first clacs and efficient quarter-back. Dick was one of our best play¬ ers and will be missed next season. Hardy, Guard—Ikey held down guard all season, playing 1 is best in every game, wnich was very good. H. Hunte, Guard—Harry was as good an all around player as we had in the line Hupp, End—Hupp is our man with an educated toe. He did all our punting and goal kicking. He is a good player otherwise also. Hyrup, Center—Hyrup exceeded all expectations this year in his playing. He made Center early in the season and remained there, playing a fine game all through the season. Srott, Tackle—Scott is a hard hitting lineman. When he hits them they roll. This is Scott’s last yecr. We will miss him next season. Hanlon, End—Hanlon makes a very good end. This was his first year and he only weighed 120 lbs. so he was good as can be reasoned. Logan, Fullback—Logan is a pretty good all around player. He played all but two positions on the team at different times during the season ending up at fullback. Cantway, Half-back. Capt. Elect.—“Mitch” is the star of our team. He is one of the best tacklers, the best line plunger and the best man to carry the ball in any play. Green, Half-back—Green is a fast and hard player. He crossed the goal line as many times as any one this season. Hess, Guard—Ed is a good all around man. If he tried harder he could be as good as the best. Davis, Tackle—Davey is a fast player. He plays hardest when a negro trys to come through the line. Ward, Sub.—Ward plays a good old game for a little fellow. He substituted for backfield and part of the time end. THE MONESSE 1921 Sixty-Three Football Team CofFel Ward Hess Hupp Davis Cantway Hardy Scott Green Hanlon Hall, Coach. Hyrup Nusbaum Logan H. Hunte A Hunte Sixty-Four THE MONESSE 1921 Basketball 1020-1921 Our Line-Up The season this year was start¬ ed with few first-string men of last year. Captain Cantway and A. Hunte were the only good material left us from last year. The other positions had to be filled from last year’s second team and with new material. For a new coach this is a diffi¬ cult task and this was the job allotted to Coach Wilk. Captain Cantway is. of course, a reliable player in any sport. He played a good game at run¬ ning guard all season and un- Nothing discouraged him. His greatest drawback as a basketball player is his inabil¬ ity to shoot baskets. He made a good captain, how¬ ever, for not only did he give strict obedience to the coach, but he sought to have his team-mates do the same. He aided the coach very materially in all mat¬ ters. Albert Hunte, forward, was the best baskball mater¬ ial the coach had. He was able to cover the floor at all times, and had a good eye for the basket. He was our best scorer, in long shots especially. His greatest shortcoming was the “cigarette Arthur Hupp, a reliable center at all times, had to be developed this year. Besides jumping center, his great¬ est asset was acting as back guard. His shortcoming was his inability to score. After all, Hupp came through the season in commendable form-—he overcome many of his faults. He will be a great asset to the team next year Robert Hanlon, forward, was capable of making ring¬ ers in close circumstances. His shots were usually pleasant surprises. Hanlon was a gritty little player, and lived up to rules and orders of the coach. For these reasons especially, he was the right man to select for next year’s captain. His shortcoming is his size and weight. Harry Hunte, our staunch stationary guard, always made himself conspicuous on the floor, not only for his ability to fill the position, but his broad ever-present smile. We could always count on him—he played well, and lived up to rules absolutely. His greatest weakness was his inability to turn speedily. Ernest Hardy, center, was our peppiest man, both in the game and on the side lines. His commendable trait was his extreme optimism even in adverse circum¬ stances, and his ability to go into the game at any time and play hard. He live$ up to rules. His shortcom¬ ing was his inability to score after having worked the hall down successfully. Max Ward, guard, was a player developed this year. When he enters his Junior year, he’ll no doubt, be a first rate man His ability to cover the floor is excel¬ lent. His cooperation with teammates is commendable, and he was easy to coach. His shortcoming is his lack (Continued on Page 66) THE MONESSE 1921 Sixty-Five basketball Oeam H. A. Wilk Hess Hanlon H. Hunte A Hunte Hupp Hardy Cantway Ward Sixty-Six THE MONESSE 1921 of experience which will be overcome in another year. Edmond Hess, a husky forward, was a valuable sub¬ stitute for that position. Even though Ed was shoved in the last few seconds, he usually managed to score. He is to be commended for sticking to the team at all times. His drawbacks were his lack of speed and the ‘‘cigarette.’ ' THE GAMES The M. C. H. S. first squad played a total of thirteen games. We won eight out of the thirteen. We only lost one game at home and that by one point (Watseka game.) The County Tournament at Kankakee was a feature of the season again this year. After defeating St. Anne 18-10 and being defeated by Kankakee, we car¬ ried off second honors. With the exception of the above, the “chicken coop at Bradley, and the waxed floor at St. Anne we have no kick coming. The games were as follows: M. C. H. S. 18 __ __ Gilman 16 M. c. H.

He realized he had stayed quite late ’Twas time to make his flight— So as he stepped down off the porch He turned and called “Gc-od-night.” Of course he did not run right off, He said a few words quite; This time he turned and took her hand And gently said, “Good-night.” But you know how it is, Old Man, If you don ' t just right; So as he took her in his arms He softly breathed, “Gnorogdht! ” Basketball 19201021 [Continued from Page 64] M.

Seventy-Five ADVICE ON Engage in an argument with every person you meet. Never listen to the other person, for if you do you may forget what you want to say yourself Always talk of your private, personal and family matters while conversing with strangers. They like to listen to long accounts of how you had the rheu¬ matism. If you are a professional man, always discuss pro¬ fessional matters in the presence of non-professionals. If a person makes a mistake in grammar, or calls a word wrong, always correct him expecially if there are several people around to hear you. £ @ Mr. Munson entering Park s Restaurant: Do you serve lobsters here?’ Waitress: “Certainly, we serve anybody.

ETIQUETTE If a man has a glass eye, a wooden leg, or a wig, always refer to it. Never talk in a mild, gentle and musical voice, but toot up high and loud. Drown other pepole’s voices if you can ' t drown their ideas. Always make fun of the locality where you are staying. If you can’t do that, ridicule or abuse some of the leading citizens. A son or a daughter may be present, and they will like to hear you ridicule their old father. Constantly refer to the time when you were in college.

Unbreakable hair nets Tasteless lip sticks Smearless rouge Squeakless swings The maid looked up with a glance demure, And blushes her fair cheeks wore, As she softly whispered, “The leaf, I’m sure, Needs pressing a little more.” Hyrup: How close did I come to passing Algebra? H. A.: By two seats. We spaced you that way on purpose. Even tombstones say good things about a feller when he is down. Freshman: What kind of a girl is she? Sophomore: Oh, she’s just a blonde with a brunette complexion. • • • • • • Mitch: I woke up last night with a terrible sensa¬ tion that my watch was gone. Parks: Was it gone? Mitch: No, but it was going. Oh her name was Irene And she wore crepe de chine; You could see more Irene Than you could crepe de chine. • • • • “Do you know what a man would be without a pair of trousers?” “No, what?” “He’d be arrested.” Percy: What makes the car so damp? Ferdy: I guess it’s because there’s so much due on it. • t • Be it ever so homely there’s no face like your own. “Why is a hen crossing the street like murder?” “I don’t know.” “Because it’s a fowl proceeding.” Miss Ross: What is a coat of mail?

THE MONESSE 1921 Seventy-Seven Senior Snap Shots Seventy-Eight THE M O N E Ed Hess (at a picnic last fall, trying out his geometric knowledge): “If you’d walk six miles north, four miles east, and two miles south, what kind of a figure would you have?” Mr. Wilk: “A reduced one,” Lloyd E. “How would you like a nice little pet monkey?” •Gladys D. “Oh this is so sudden!” Harriet: “Mr. Hungerford, what is the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle?” Mr. Hungerford: “Well, now, let’s see—er—don’t you know?’’ Jim: “It took the doctors hours to remove the particles of glass.” Jam: “How was he hurt—auto accident?” Jim: “No, he was shot in the hip.” A Virginia publisher threatened to publish a name of a certain young man who was seen hugging and kissing a girl in the park, unless his subscription to the paper was paid up in a week. Fifty-nine young men called and paid up the next day, while two even paid for a year in advance. Miss Current: Donald, give us a sentence with the words detest and deduce.” Donald: “Sure: I funked in de-test and when I got home my folks gave me de-duce.” You tell ’em Lariot; you know the ropes. Some of the Caesar classes were heard to make He wish that the Romans had tickled Caesar with a knife a’ little sooner.

I fear that before the day’s over it will drive me wild. Curtis: May I come around this evening? A woman’s complexion is like a game of poker. At seven It’s “straight”; at eleven it’s a “flush”; and from then on it’s a “bluff.” Found in Bushels Note Book. Blessed be the ties that bind My collar to my shirt For underneath that silken band Lies half an inch of dirt. I stood on the bridge at midnight— A tired, shivering soul— My girl had helped me spend my jack— I couldn’t pay the toll. Julie P: My cheeks are all on fire.
