We are all human.” 2 The Monesse DEDICATION To the memory of FLORENCE MILDRED ELLIS and PAMELA JUNE HALL the 1925 Monesse is respectfully dedicated The Monesse 3 4 The Monessf The Foreword Kind reader! We hope that you will enjoy read¬ ing- the Monesse, 1925. It has been our aim to make this Year Book attractive as well as interesting, and we believe that it will at least serve as a partial record of the events od the 1924-25 school year. Every page has been written in a spirit of fellowship and in no way has there been any intentional or personal slight. It has also been our earnest desire to include every teacher, student and organization a nd produce a vol¬ ume representative of the Momence Community High School.

S. N, U. Student Bradley Polytechnic Institute Most anyone; can hammer but not Memories I backward cast my e’e on prospects sweet. And in my memories auld scenes greet: The! past only touches me; The past as is mirrored in Monesse. The wee hastening-, tim’rous Freshies That to their mithers are so precious. And the Sophs that fain would rin and chase them, The Sophs that broke the school’s union And justified, the: ill opinion of Mr. Munson in the school’s dominion. The Juniors whose foresight Never proved in vain Their best laid schemes never came to grief or pain, only promisedjoy. But they w T ere not blest compared with us, In whom M. C. H. S. g-ave a trust. Whose Senior year was a happy hour Sweetly scentefd as a Bonnie flower. The study hall bring-s auld acquaintances to min’ And the days of auld lang- syne. My bo ' ok again i;s in my hand But my thoughts are light as a lady’s fan. And not at all on the book were they. I remember one day when the lesson dealt with the (diary of Samuel Pepys, Down the hall I heard some steps, And though I couldn’t see I guessed and feared; The words on my book grew weird, Oh, what a panic was in my breastie, But I needn’a ha’ been sae hasty. “Better late than never.”—John Wiltse 14 The Monesse It was Mr. Munson and his little ane, His smile was like sunshine after rain. My fears took wings For I knew behind all his art of superintending He had a heart. The teachers too I see As I backward cast my e’e:; There is Mr. Lee Who taught us fairy tales of science. We didn’a have much appliance. And, too, from children green he trained a Lands Loth snell and keen. With Mr, Abbott it is a habit to lead a social life For yet he has no wife. At a glance in a dance A we see him come and go on the light fantastic toe You can see there is no degree of trickery With Terpsichore. But we were not surprised for . e were apprised That in auld Missou he won a championship or two. Mr. Liberty, who frae mony blunders Freed the boys of foolish notions, Was all devotion. The saws he set in motion Included bits of wisdom Timely spoken. Then there is Mr. Hungerford Whose great horde of captured fish Has furnished mony a dish for Hardy appetites. So now there are no bites in the river. But his flivver on days fine Stands on the banks from morning sun ’till dine. Now in school we find no fault on this modern Isaac Walton, Here he plays another role Cbres and Apollo win his soul, For to him at his birth Ceres gave the secrets of the earth. But far more charming It is to follow the sly Apollo. For business is the course he favors And, in his lead Mr. H. never wavers. But takes dictation and knows his station He is in, We hope he’ll win. Since now I’ve scanned the woman’s man I’ll gently scan the woman. Wee, modest, Hardy flow’r, We have met you in a happy hour. For you we quit the banks and braes To pound the lettered keys. For you we’ve left the wooded bow’r To spare th!e typewriter now is past my 1 power. In the speed test my castigated pulse Gies now and then a wallop “My civics text tastes the best.”—Merlin Felt The Monesse 15 Until my veins convulse to keep up the gallop. Your patience, too 1 , I’d praise 1 , For days and day You watch our backward ways, Learning the maze of shorthand. To you I’d say, “Come what may, None but the brave deserve the fair.” When Christmas eve was drawin’ nigh Miss Williams pulled her Overland gears in high. Even though the wind blew as twad blown it’s last And the snow rose on the blast. She was far too wise to take Mr. Lee’s advice, But started on the long Wisconsin miles Through snowy lanes and slaps and stiles Despising winds that tossed her car like a quoit She arrived safely in Beloit. When asked how she said with a bow, “Avoiding wrecks Let the unknown quantity equal X Which was the RT. I wanted to go. Odin, a god, a seer, Chose the Valkir, Choosers of the slain To ride white cloud horses across the plain To choose heroes for Valkalla. Mr. Munson, to follow Odin’s example gave us a sample Of a Hero laden Norse maiden For French and Latin. So one matin When September had begun We saw Miss Mauritzson. Her face is always a rosy red, Her hair an aurora around her head. Once in a profound hush We saw the psychology of her blush. On a bloody battlefield where French and Latin reeled She was loadin’ Heroes of Odin Reflected bloodshed made her face red. Of all the airts the wind can blaw We dearly love the South, From there the bonnie lassie comes, From the land of flowers and dreams. There wild woods grow an’ streams flow An’ mony a hill between; And at night in the pale moonlight Fairies dance about, While Miss Coontz watches with calm delight Such linked! sweetness long out. In History There’s no mystery About our teacher. Prominence is my ambition.”—-Harold Liberty 16 The Monesse She’s a bonnie creature. And no one could be calmer Than Miss Palmer An her classes of lads and lasses. When o’er the: history scenes my memory wakes And fondly broods with miser care She but the impression strongly makes As streams their deeper channels wear. Euphonically She teaches Economically The breaches in the world of wealth. She: says, “Through efficiency The solution of the national constitution Would be in proper distribution.” For a Britton I’ll sing- an auld Scotch song As I hurry along-. To her mirth and g ' ood humor Which are coin in her purse And my admiration for her nae monarch can touch. To the tune of good music We’ll forgather with sorrow and care. We’ll be contented with little But happy with mair. So here’s to Miss Britton and there’s nothin’ more- fit-tin’ in Sunshine and rain Ojf all the teachers that I’d gently scan There’s one whio’d appeal to the heart of man And that is Miss Stone. Her art ranges from a Scotch scone To stewin’ a soup bone. The man is a drone who would leave her alone. She can sew and make a bow For her hat. So you know that She’s an artist, The very smartest In the line She’s fine.

The prospects for a successful season were not very good. However, there were several promising players among the fifteen or more inexperienced men. Because of an exceptionally haid schedule, lack of experienced players and more than our share of bad luck, we lost all but two of our games. We ended the season by defeating Gilman and Dwight and playing Pullman Tech to a close score in the last and best game of the season. We will lose Ed Fox, Davis, Wiltse, Kennedy, Nelson, Styles, Tinney, Hobart and Metcalf from the squad by gradua¬ tion and it is doubtful if “Punch” Fox. or Mayo will return. However, we sincerely hope they do return as they would be a great asset to the 1926 team. Captain Ed. Fox, left tackle played his fourth and last year for M. C. H. S. and showed his teammates that he had the right spirit whether playing 4 on a winning or losing team. Although he had a very badly injured hand, he went in¬ to the Blue Island game and stopped the repeated gains that had been made through his side of the line. “Skaggk” Davis, quarterback, was kept nuite busy, as he called signals, did most of the passing and kicking and made some mighty fine tackles while backing up the line on defense as well as making consistent gains while on the offensive. “Joe” Wiltse, fullback, was an exceptionally glood line plun.g ' er. He could always be depended on for a gain, which he proved to us in the Pullman Tech game when he carried! the ball about half the length of the field on line plunges “Joe” was always very strong on defense. “Punch” Fox, right tackle, playing his second year of football played ev¬ en better than he did his first, and that’s saying something ' . He was a hard hit¬ ting and sure tackier and worked well with Hart and Kennedy in making holes for off tackle smashes and line plunges. “Wop” Kennedy, right end, didn’t come out the first part of the season but earned a position in time to play in the third game against Watseka, when by his fine tackling and receiving of passes he cinched a place on the team. He worked well with Fox on offensive play. “Cook” Hart, riglht guard, was placed at this position the first night of practice and continued playing there throughout the season. He was a good tackier and worked well with “Punch” and “Wop.” Whenever a gain was made through the right side of the line, one could feel sure that this combination had been doing something. Edward Fox, Captain “I was too tender for football.”—Dewey Line The Monesse m Top Row—-Hobart, Hamann., Kennedy, Fox, Capt., Styles, Hart, Wiltse Middle Row—Storer, Blanke, Davis, Fox, Hall, Felt, Sherwood, Abbott Bottom Rowr-eNelsgn, Tinney, Baber, M, Sherwood, Denton Miss Williams always sits on me.”—Thomas Kelson 46 The Mones.se Carl Mayo, right halfback, completed more passes than anyone on the team. He was a sure tackier and very strong on defense, whether backing: up the line or playing: at end, Many gains were partly due to his interference. Armen Blanke, center, was very ac¬ curate in his passing, and the backfield could always expect the ball at the right time and at the right place. His ability to get through the line and break up plays caused many losses for our oppon¬ ents. “Bill” Baker, left end, had a hard time winning his position, but finally won out by his determination and nerve. He al¬ ways fought hard and never gave an inch, no matter how big they were. “Skinny” Hall, left halfback, was plac¬ ed at this position at the first of the season and! also played “safety” man. Be¬ cause of his inexperience he had a hard time getting started but showed a big improvement toward the end of the season. Claud Styles, left guard and ' center;, played well at either position. He was called upon to play center with only! a few days ' practice. “Al” Storer, because of his ability to kick, proved a very valuable man to the team. He played end at first and, finished up the season at the guard posi¬ tion where he played a good defensive glume. “Yip” Nelson, although not as heavy as some of the rest, gave a good ac¬ count of himself when he did enter the game;. His usual position was end, but he also played an excellent game at halfback. “Pop” Sherwood, at some time or other, played nearly every position in the backfield. He was handicapped somewhat by his size, but, because of his nerve and enthusiasm for football,, he always gave a good account of himself. “Pug” Sherwood plyed at end and halfback and was an excellent offen¬ sive man. When he was given the (ball around end, he could be depended on to make a gain. Although Felt, Tinney, Hack, Hamann, Murry, Denton, Hobart and Metcalf did not earn letters they played in several games and should be given a great deal of credit as they reported regularly for practice and helped develop the first team by playing ag inst them. The letter men are as follows: Captain Ed Fox, E. Davis, J. Wiltse, A. Ken¬ nedy;, M. Fox, E, Hart, C. Mayo, A. Blanke, W. Baker, M. Hall, Cl. Styles, F. Storer C. Nelson, M. Sherwood, A.

The team won eig-ht and lost six of the games. We djefeated St. Anne twice, Bradley twice, Reddick,, Manteno, Peo- tone and the Alumni, but lost twice to Chicago Heights and twice to Watseka and were defeated once by Manteno and once by Reddick. Although we lost to Watseka, the game played at Momence was the best, hardest fought, and most exciting game of the season. At the end of the fourth quarter the score was 13 to 13. In the five minute over-time period, Watseka made a long- shot while Momence scordd, only one point on a free throw. At least three of our defeats were due to our numerous fouls and ou,r inability to make free throws. Captain “Skaggs” Davis, forward, was one of the best shots on the team and ' he frequently ' made 1 free throws consistently. Not only his basket shooting but also his fast and clever floor work made him very valuable to the team. “Wop” Kennedy, center, was seldom out jumped and this gave us an ad¬ vantage in working our signals which resulted in several baskets. He worked well with Davis and Hufty and was especially valuable in following up shots and playing under the basket. John Hufty, forward, played well with Davis and Kennedy and complet¬ ed a fast and hard working combination which could work the ball down the the: basket. He never failed to have his man covered w 7 hile we were on the de¬ fense. Maynard Liberty, guai ' id, always played hard and fought to the last. It wa)S necessary for him to play center several times and he played as well at this position as at gjuard. He was good at following up shots and playing under the basket. “Skinny” Hall, guard, alternated with Liberty at playing running or standing guard. He always fought hard and helped the forwards and center work the ball under the basket. George Kay lor, forward and guard, proved to be a very valuable substitute He played in more than half the gVxmeis and played a mighty fine game at either guard or forward. He finished the season by making half the points in the Alumni game. We will lose Davis, Kennedy, Hufty and Liberty by graduation. This will break up one of the best teams M. C. H., S. has ever produced. The second team consisted of Nelson, Truitt, Hamann, Hobart and Blanke. These players should be given a great Ileal of credit as they reported regularly for practice and in this way contributed toward the development of the first team. They! will probably make up the greater paid of next year’s team. This team played the second teams of several other schools, winning from St. Anne and Peotone and losing to Chicago Heights and Grant Park. “A page without a face.” Some prefer to diet, but I prefer to eat.”—-Janet Wimmor Top Row—Palmer, Zufall, Boudreau, Munden, Prather, Wimmer, Mauritzson Middle Row—Kaylor, Upham, Green, Mathewson, Gray, Chandler, Park Bottom Row—Martin, Clark Storer rv The Monesse m ' The Monesse Basket Ball Schedule ■St. Anne__ 9 Bloom_ 26 Bloom_13 Reddick_... 15 Watseka___15 Bradley___ 11 Reddiek__14 Manteno _: 1.5 St. Anne ___.____20 Watseka_30 Peotone_:_13 Bradley _ 7 Manteno _ 15 Alumni ___17 M.

Miss Coontz and her friend from Chicago, Miss Prey, were the chaperons. A large camp fire was built weist of the house and everyone crowded around to eat weiners, buns, coffee, mustard, pickles, apples and marshmallows. After supper Miss Coontz told fortunes. There was also singing and games. A few hours were enjoyed in these ways and then everybody departed for old Momence. “And I must have a new dress.”—Every girl of M. C, H. S. The Monesse MOMENCE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB : Some day they will sing u,s asleep. 54 The Monesse The Junior Bob Party The Juniors gathered at the Momence Community High School at 7:30 o’clock on January 15, 1925, and after much scrambling with sleds and ropes they all mounted their vehicle and were off. They were escorted by Miss Palmer and Miss Mauritzson. They went out east of Momence and around the six mile grove. Some of them became rather frightened when near the graveyard, but nevertheless after many stops to pick up the ones who had spilled they arrived at the town agfain and all went into Ward’s Soda Grill to eat. The lunch con¬ sisted of sandwiches and hot cocoa which they enjoyed very much after a long breezy ride. After eating their lunch , they all departed for home. The Teachers’ Picnic The “old teachers” entertained the “new teachers” on the Island, October 6, 1924. At six o’clock supper was served consisting- of creamed potatoes, fried chicken, slaw, sandwiches, olives, pickles, preserves, ice cream and cake coffee cream and sugar. Some oif the former teachers, who were visiting in town at the time, were present. The evening was spent in playing a few games and vis¬ iting. The Teachers’ Christmas Party The teachers held their Christmas party in Philo Hall on December 23, 1924. The supper was served by Miss Stone’s cooking class which was fruit cocktail, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, rolls, .jelly, butteri, cranberries ice cream and cakel, coffee, cream and sugar. After supper they drew names and had a Christina ' s tree. Everyone received a present not valuing more than ten or fifteen cents. The entertainment was in charge of Miss Coontz and although she was not there she planned it. She! made a cross word puzzle containing all of the teachers’ names. They also played games. The Junior Weiner Roast On Thursday evening, October 23, 1924, the Juniors went to the six mile gfrove for a weiner roast. The chaperons were Miss Palmer, Miss Hardy, and Mr. Hungerfordl The Juniors departed from M. C. H. S. at 5 o’clock. After they ar¬ rived the boys played ball and the girls explored the nearby graveyard — a very exciting pasttime.. The ; boyls built a large fire on the top of the hill and the sup¬ per consisted of buns, weiners, pickles, mustard, bananas and marshmallows. The football boys who came a little late had forgotten the coffee pot—no coffee but still a very good time. Rudy ' Hack and his gang) had a blowout. Oh, well, they only walked two miles. Rudy and gang were taken back to his car after supper. And aftebr fixing the tire of the Ford—homeward bound! “I like the other building ” Jeannette Chamberlain MOMENCE HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Monesse 55 “Sousa’s band had a beginning - .” Reginald Hardy 56 The Monesse Sophomore Bob Party The Sophomores went to Grant Park for their bob ride. They were chap¬ eroned by Mr. and Mrs. Liberty, Miss Mauritzson an|l Miss Palmer. There were quite a few Sophomores to ride in the large bob so they had several small sleds tied on behind. They had; great difficulty in keeping on the sleds, especially when taking the corners quite speedy, but after a little while they bounded into Grant Park. They had their lunch of sandwiches and hot chocolate at Vonder- smith’s. After eating they returned home. Senior Bob Party The Senior Bob Party was held January 11, 1925!, and it was quite a suc¬ cess. There were two bobs. They rode up around the six mile grove. Some rode in the lariJe bobs and others rode on small sleds tied on the large bobs. They arrived in town at ten o’clock and had lunch at Ward’s Soda Grill. It con¬ sisted of hot chocolate, pie and wafers. Shorthand Contest The preliminary contest to the State Shorthand and Typewriting Contest for our district was held at Kankakee, April 19, 1924. Six girls, Josephine Wen- nerholm, Marie Renstrom, Vivian Whiting, Dorothy Petersen, Beulah Rasmus¬ sen and Jessie Wyatt represented our school. They made second place in the Shorthand contest as a team and Josephine Wennerholm made third place in the individual Shorthand contest. They also made third place as a team in the Typewriting contest. The shorthand team went to Normal to compete with the State in the finals on May 10. They ranked ninth place in the state contest. Reminscenses of a School House Alas! Three whole months of complete quiet and rest have been prescrib¬ ed for me by the school board. Needless to say, it is to be greatly ' appreciated after one has passed the half-century mark—as I have. And yet—as I look forward into these empty summer months—a feeling of loneliness already pervades my spirit, for is it not true to nature that old age longs for the company of youth? That through them one might again relive their life in memories? Memories! Alas, they are but another positive sigm of old age, for has not some one said that when one begins to reflect on by-gone days and to relive their past, that the period of old ag e has at last overtaken them? But, it is indeed pleasant to live again with these memories, all of which form some link in your life’s career. “Love me, love my gum.”—Dot Ward MOMENCE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Monesse 57 “This organization is inspiring.”—Mr. Lee 58 Tlfd Monesse My mind ' travels back to the time when I was young - —when youth first began to come to me—some far the sake of obtaining knowledge- others, just to while away a few of Life’s years. Little did they realize that with their study and play the environment with which I surrounded them was serving as a mold in which their characters took shape and form. How time flies! Hardly does it seem that I have become acquainted with my comrades than the wheel of time takes them to their life’s work and other youths, exuberant with joy, take their places and carry on. ’Tis true that I am old, and worn, and sadly ' bemarked by ambitious scholars. However, I feel that my time has not been spent in vain—for a life of service is it’s own reward. My span of life is short, but my hope 1 is that mem¬ ories of men may be long cherished: in the hearts of those who once loved me, —Ruby Lamport The Beetle As the caravan was slowly brought to a stop at the ! edge of a small oasis in the Egyptian desert, a lithely built young man descended from one of the camels. His loosely fitting garments did not concede his supple strength. He walked slowly to a nearby spring ' and stretching himself full length upon the ground beside it, drank heartily of the cool water. After refreshing himself he conversed with one of the native (guides who said that this place where they were to camp was in “The Land of Sacred Beetles.” As the sun began to sink lower and lower in the west and send its purple shadows over the desert, the men busied themselves unpacking the baggage. The 1 camels seemed gjjlad to be free of their heavy loads and lay resting their tired bodies on the sand. In a short time a gentle evening breeze wafted pleasant odiors of supper to hungry men who lost no time in responding to the call of the cook. After par¬ taking of a hearty repast some of the men sat around the camp fire smoking arid telling st ' olries. As Jack Weatherby arose to retire the rest of the men followed suit. Jack walked slowly over to his tent and lifting up the: flap he stepped in¬ side to prepare his bed. After lying down he made sure that his revolver lay loose by his sidel. He very sefjdom took this precaution, but tonight they were encamped in a land infested by many bands of outlaws. It seemed that he had hardily ' fallen asleep when he was awakened by someone lifting the flap of his tent. Outlined in the silvery moonlight he coukl distinguish the form of a man standing over him. In his raised hand he held a long curved knife. As he was about to plunge it into his helpless victim he stop¬ ped as if he werie frozen and in his eyes there came a look of terror. With a cry of terror he: fled from the tent. As Jack turne 1 to find the reason for the in¬ truder’s hurried departure he saw in the moonlight on his bed a small object “The best thing ' s are not in small packajgies.”—Frances Turner The Monesse 59 “All heads—empty, fat, big, block and round.” 60 The Monesse that shone like gold. Upon a closer inspection he saw that it was a gold beetle. He knew now why his assailant hajd fled so suddenly. This was the “Gold Beetle” which was sacred to the Egyptian. There was an old Eastern superstition that this beetle would bring the curse o)f death to anyone: who sought to do harm where it was found 1 . It w r as this superstition which saved Jack Weatherby from an ill-started death upon Egyptian sands.—Walter Vining. The Fella Who Didn’t Want to Be Different Ah! Listen Mother! You don’t understand how a fella feels about it though!” “Why, Phil, dear,” said Mrs. Thompson somewhat injured. “I’m sure I do, but I’m just trying to tell you that it is quite impossible: an 1 yjou must just for¬ get about it. You’ve been bothering more than usual about it this time. Yes— I know it’s your last year in high school, but you’re not well enough to play and I don’t want to hear anything more of it.” “Oh, Bosh! Mom! You soak in everything! that old Dr. Gills says.” “Well, but m;y dear boy, you know yourself that you can’t stand things, you get tired so quickly.” “Wa-a-a-1! Am I gonna be this way all my life? Am I gonna be a weakling a sickling, can’t do this, can’t do that?” “Phil, Phil. I don’t know when you’ve gone off like this. Not since the Boy Scout affair.” “Ya-a-a-h anjd why? Cause I haven’t had the nerve to. You make a fella feel so down and out, he feels like w hat’s the use? Oh, listen here Ma- -Mother! Pm gonna play football.” “Phil, Phiil, why Phil, you know what your father would say!” “Ra-a-ts! He never played did he?” The door slammed and he was gone. Mrs. Thompson sank into a chair feeling that she had quite failed I. She didn’t want her boy to play in that horrid game. He might get hurt. Oh, dear! Out on the street Phil was entertaining stormy thoughts. “Hey, Phil,” yelled Pete, “What your Ma say? Huh?” “You shut up,” answered Phil. “However, all fellows are different.” ' —Elizabeth Clark The Monesse 61 “Yes, I like hens.”—Bertie Kelson 62 The Monesse “Sure,” said Pete. Then to his companion, “Phil’s had it out with her again, but he won’t play. Huh—uh!” Phil trampbd up the long: flight of stairs to the little dingy office. Dr. Gills had just gotten in from a call. The Ford was still coughing out in front. “Why, hello Phil,” and he patted him genially on the shoulder, “Want some more of that—?” “No!” flamed Phil. “Say,, Dr. Gills, what’s a’ matter with; me? Am 1 gonna be an invalid or somethin’ all my life?” “Why, heh, heh,—no, my boy, only you’ve got to be careful. It’ll pay in tne long run. ’Take it easy now and you’ll be a stronger man.” “What’ll happen if I don’t?” “Oh, but jy|ou will Phil. Football is quite impossible you know. After all that isn’t everything in life, is it, now?” “I don’t know,” rep 1 kid Phil shortly. Next morning 1 ' Phi 1 told Pete that he was going to play. “Honest Phil? Gosh! I’m glad y’are. Meet you in the hall tonight. We’re goin’ over to Jones’ field.” Nothingl was said of his mother. “Whoopee! This is sorta’ the jumpin’ off place:, isn’t it?” said Phil to himr self as he got into his suit. “Feels good though. Guess I’ll tell mother tonight that I played football.” “Phil, Oh, Phiil. Why! I never thought you’d do it. Your heart won’t be able to stand it. Anjjl oh, dear, I never wanted to tell you what the Doctor really said because I thought it would frighten you so, but he: said it would kill you.” “Mother, I’d rather die than go on being! out of things, always be’in told I can’t do this and that, always sickly, poorly—Oh, Gosh, Ma, don’t you see a fella doesn’t want to be different?” “Pavement from our place to Clarke’s.”—Marcell Hall The Monesse “Laugh and the world laughs with you, Grin and you grin alone.”—Clifford Graves 64 The Monesse Calendar September 3—Teachers are introduced.
