This school year has its message, Frolic, fun and study too; And the unsets that do happen With the right and good and true All belong to high school training, Which sometimes brings us sorrows few; But more often brings us sunshine, Hope and love and strength anew. This school year has brought us students, Many Freshies, green as grass; And some others who are seeking The best way to surely pass. But the fate of every classman Rests in hands, the shining lights, Who we call the high school teachers ‘Cause they are so keen and bright. So my rh me will take each teacher, Man and lady, one by one; And reveal the thoughts of searchers Wbo ' ve been seeking for some fun. Smile my friends at what I’m reading If it strikes a humorous vein, For on Monday our dear teachers Will again hold every rein. Science, band and senior home room Are in charge of P. T. L., He ' s a daddy and a teacher, And mixes dope that has a smell. With a crayfish and some music He can sail the double ship; Without mentioning evolution Or improving penmanship. Manual arts are in the basement, Knots and loose nuts, plenty too Of drawing, sawing, hammering, carving For a glue pot ' s boiling stew. H. L. L. is the attendant, He dishes out the tools and wood; And steers each “Johnny’ ' in his project So every fact be understood. fi l cannot live on faith alone.”—Martin Unruh THE MONESSE 1 H. N. H. the farmer maker Rules in the basement of our school. He is said to be an undertaker Of some experiments, and as a rule He drives from his country home to town But now and then his car breaks down, So he cheerfully “hoofs it” without a frown. M. L. M. is coach and teacher, He ' s the only single man in school, Apparently the sex that ' s weaker Has not disturbed his poise or rule. He can coach with vim and vigor In victory or in defeat, He emphasizes fundamentals As basic for athletic feats. L. P. C. has English classes In the west room of our school. Sometimes she ' ll argue with lads and lassies On the meaning of some rule. Her latest hobbie is mechanics, She knows the price of oil and gas, As well as some of Chevvie ' s antics That are always sure to come to pass. Our history teacher is R. N. A new one to us all, With oral speech or fountain pen The facts she can recall, From Hellespont to Babylon, Each detail and each date, Is emphasized because the past To present must relate. The Freshies study Algebra, The Sophomores Geometry, Both classes must learn formula As emphasized by one L. B. Of late she ' s moved into our town, And lives close by our schools; And so more time to nail us down To learn those pesky rules. E. M. G. is a new product She has the Latin-French combine. The written lessons she does audit And gives them back for a refine. She ' s strong on “amo” the youngsters say, Another model, she will not use it; So her secret thoughts must run that way. For otherwise it would be “fuit.” “I do not look up to people, I look above them.”—Lawrence Langhorst 14 TH1C MONESSE Skyward indeed is A. M. S. She is as near the heavens as she can be. She cooks and sews we must confess. Both storming and praising to some degree. Her two old pals have gone away. But she has already adopted another; And possibly on some bright day She’ll take somebody’s only brother. Dollars and cents and debit too; Also credit and invoice and date Are taught by one R. W., Who checks the sheets and seals our fate. She is little and quiet and wears a blouse When she leads the girls in the gym class; But they say she’s afraid of a little mouse When in her room it tries to pass. Our music teacher is C. M. She teaches mostly in the grades. But for two periods and now and then She drills us on some music shades. She knows the weather in our town And looks above most everyone; Her eyes are farther from the ground. And so she has her special fun. And so I come to the end of my rhyme, I have mentioned all but old I. M., He would hope to TOe spared this time. So I’m going to close by saying Amen. —By Lillian Ilium, Year Book Banquet, 1929 “Walking is a pleasant diversion.”—Jeanne Blank© THE MONESSE 15 “Vocal music is beautiful.”—Fred Jensen.

Consequently, Coach Moore was con¬ fronted with the problem of building a new line as well as a new backbeld. There was really no exper¬ ienced player to be elected captain. It was necessary to test the team and determine which one could be entrusted with leading the team in the game. Therefore, Coach Moore appointed the captain prior to each game. One of the above four was appointed before each game. As they all proved to be capable players, each one had the opportunity to lead the eleven. Record 1928 Season . c. H. S_ 12 . C. H. S_ 6 C. H.

Coach Moore had to develope a new team. Ko captain was elected prior to the opening of the season. It was, therefore, necessary to appoint a captain prior to each game. This honor came to both Lawrence and Langhorst. One of them would serve as cap¬ tain in one game and the other would act in the following game.

The class has met every Friday afternoon from four to six. Miss Westfall has been in charge, and the work has consisted of calesthenics, basketball and other forms of physicial exercise. The work of each individ¬ ual member was recognized through a merit system which is as follows: Tee skating, one hour - 1 Roller Skating, one hour- 1 Hiking, one mile-1 Horse Back Riding, one hour-1 Bicycle Riding, two miles ---- 1 Not Eating Candy, one week- 1 ;-1 Drinking 4 glasses water a day for 1 week--- 1 No Powdering in school, one week- 1 Averaging 8 hours sleep for one week---1 Attending basketball practice each week---2 Wearing basketball suits each practice---2 Helping each day at home one week -1 Be punctual at school each day, for one week____1 Attend school each day, for one week-1 All school grades on card 80 or above----2 “Weight is a liability.”—Helen Austin, GIRLS ' GYMNASIUM CLASS THE MONESSE 55 “After several years I have become athletic.”—Miss Westfall, 56 THE MONESSE A REVIEW OF THE SEASON The Football season was a success when you consider the fact that Coach Moore lost every member of last year ' s team through graduation. He had to build an entire¬ ly new team, and it consisted of Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior boys. While not as many games were won as some people would prefer, the low scores to which the inexperienced players held their opponents indicates that M. C. H. S. has good ma¬ terial for the future. The last game on the schedule, the game with the Onarga Township High School, was not played. Unfavorable weather was the direct cause of this game being canceled. With practically the same team intact for next year, the outlook is very encouraging and we can look forward to a successful football season. s COACH MOORE Coach Moore came to M. C. H. S. four years ago. He had spent two years as a coach in a small Iowa high school and had made an enviable record. He is a graduate of Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, and has attended several coaching schools during the summer sessions. He emphasizes fundamentals in both football and basketball and demands that all boys be punctual and regular for practice. His good work as a coach has had a marked influence in shaping the athletic spirit and athletic policy of the school. “Now, what’s so funny?”—Mr, Moore, THE MONESSE 57 “f should be included in the society notes, —Gwendolyn Bishir ? 5S THE MONES5E October 11, 1928 My Dear Diary: Our first social event of the year took place this afternoon. It was sponsor¬ ed by the most active, energetic and alert group in M. C. H. S. Do you know who they are? Well—they are known as the Girls 7 Glee Club. To further interest the girls in the Glee Club, tbev had a weiner roast at Is¬ land Park. As they had not planned on having it until this morning, some of the girls had made previous arrangements for after school, but for a peppy bunch of girls like the Glee Club possesses, they did not need much notice in order to come. They put aside all other arrangements and made their way to the Island. The next hour was spent in playing peppy games which pave them all a ravenous appetite. There were plenty of eats and it wasn ' t long until they had all disappeared. Then as it was almost 6:30 o’clock and everyone was filled to the brim, the girls wander¬ ed in various directions to their homes. Miss McNeil and our guest. Miss Westfall, are greatly responsible for the ex. ceedingly good time had by all the girls on such short notice. That’s all for tonight, Diary. “ALWAYS.” February 9, 1929 Dear Diary: Well—it has come and gone! What? The Year Book Banquet which is the only all school affair of which we can boast. It was a howling success this year, but why shouldn’t it be after such a prosperous campaign? Our leaders this year were Henry Halpin and Leota Mansberger on the White Side and LeRoy Grabow and Margaret Krueger on the Red Side. With the captains in the best of spirits, the contest started off with a bang! It was a close contest all the way along, but the Reds won out in the end. The banquet is given by the losing side each year. At six thirty o’clock, sharp, the girls in their prettiest dresses and the boys in their best, were assembled around the tastefully decorated tables in the Woodman hall. The Royal Neighbors served a very good dinner consisting; of salad, cream “It’s no fun getting stuck in the mud next to a graveyard,”—JLeila Gilkison THE MONESSE 59 “Yes, I’m the Glee in the Glee Club.”—Glee McFadden, 60 THE MONESSE chicken, mashed potatoes, scalloped corn, parker house rolls, ice cream, cake and coffee. Following the dinner there was a series of toasts given by the students and teachers. Each one was cleverly introduced by the toastmaster, Andrew Kelson. Following the toasts there were four musical selections given by students and Miss McNeil led us in comrmxnity singing. The program in detail was as follows: The Winning Lady- The Winning Man - The Losing Lady _ The Losing Ma n _ The Monesse 7 29 __ Coinage of Silver and Gold__ Our Line___ Our Backfield___ Our Season _ The Lightweights _...

Goodnight. “ALAWYS 77 February 20, 1929 Dear Diary: Tonight the dignified Seniors left their solemn faces and spectacles at home and all gathered at Conrad ' s Recreation Rooms for a little diversion from the busy, daily routine of study to which they are accustomed. Even William Hanson and Freddie Jensen forgot to be serious for a couple of hours and joked and smiled with the rest of their fellow students. Various games, that were appropriate for sop¬ histicated Seniors, were played and a lovely lunch was served. “Qh, keep me innocent ’—Frances Cart THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE MONESSE 61 “I don’t like a man unless he’s from Sweden.”—Audrey Bishir 62 THE NONESSE Upon leaving: they all declared they hadn ' t had as joyful a time since they had taken it upon themselves to become The Seniors of M. C. H. S. and to set an ex¬ ample for the lower classmen. Don ' t you think it ' s nice, Diary, for the overbur¬ dened Seniors to have a gay time like this once a year? It ' s late now so I must retire. “ALWAYS” March 13, 1929 Hi! Diary: The Juniors had their annual party tonight at tl e usual place. There were over fifty Juniors there. Can you imagine such a large class coming from M. C. H. S. We had such a good time playing games, singing school songs and popular melodies and dancing. The refreshment committee surely did their duty in serving a pala¬ table lunch to Top off ' the evening. Have you ever heard, in the history of M. C. H. S. of a class so large as this one and having such a gloriously gooO time? I ' ll leave that for you to think about for a while, Diary, while I get some sleep. “ALWAYS March 21, 3929 Good eevning, Diary: I ' m all tired out! No, I didn’t go with the Gym Class on their hike to the city on the north of us today after school, but Audrey ha s just finished telling me about it and she told it so realistically that most of the time I thought I was with them which of course gave me this tired feeling. The notices on the blackboards today said the girls were going on a hike— but come to find out—some skated and some rode part way and they all rode back so I don’t think it could be properly called a hike, do you? I guess they got plenty of exercise though because this village to the north of us is the whole sum of six miles. No wonder they took their skates and “hooked rides. I would too! This isn’t to be their last hike so you will probably hear more about the Gym Class later on. They have proven themselves to be up and coming and there is nothing lazy about them. Goodnight, Diary. “ALWAYS March 28, 1929. My Dear Diary: Yes, the Sophomores had a party this evening. Henry Muldoon Iialpin, the president of the class, was in charr e of affairs. It was rumored that some of them wore dress suits—that is their Sunday dress suits. Beans Pearson played the violin and Daddy Cromwell sang a solo m B Flat or maybe it was fiat. All had a good time looking at each other. They departed for home at nine-thirty o ' clock. “ALWAYS “I’m going out for high jump in track, —Ruth Farr, THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE MONESSE 63 “It looks as though I ' m destined to be a teacher.”—Maud Shronts 64 THEMONESSE PAGES PROGRESS Justt three years ago, sixty nine pages came to the castle of Momence. We gathered from the courts of Pembroke, Grant Park, Exline, Talmadge and St. George. We were to serve under the gallant Sir Munson and his attendants. It was hard for us to get acquainted for it seemed as though we always did the wrong thing. We pages were given a sword and shield when we entered the castle of Mo¬ mence. Since then we have had many uses for our trusty weapons, and, although you may not believe it, I am using my sword as I write this. There was much work for a page to do at the Castle of Momence. We had many Ogres to conquer. Some of these were: “Duke Latin” who had kidnapped the most beautiful girl in the country around the castle; “Sir Algebra” and “Sir Geom¬ etry” who destroyed the poor, and, if they were strong enough made them slaves; “King English” the ruler of a Kingdom of Evils; and “Baron Civics” who destroyed many cities which had done neither him nor his people any wrong. These Ogres, who lived in the highly civilized parts of the world, were very difficult to conquer, unless one could use his sword and shield skillfully. We were taught how to battle these dreadful creatures by the instructors at our castle. Be¬ fore a page might become a squire he had to overcome them. Jousts were held at the close of every six weeks at the castle of Momence. These contests occurred just before the reports of our work were sent to our parents. This was a sad day for some, but if one had been an obec lent page and had obeyed his masters, he had nothing to fear. On that day “Duke Latin,” “King English” “Baron Civics.” ‘Sir Algebra,” or “Sir Geometry” battled with the pages. Our life at the castle of Momence was a ladder. Each day we gained a step or lost a step as we ourselves chose to do. But if we are to reach the goal in our last year as Pages, we will be the Knights of the castle of Momence, and for that reason we we all give forth our very best efforts. “Edward, could you turn my Ford over for me?”—Cora Denny THE MONESSE 65 “I’m content to love, but not to work.”—Nelse Christjansen THE MONESSE 67 6— Beat Watseka. 7— Clara Jensen bites her tongue while chewing gum. 8— Someone composed a new Loyalty song. 9— Big pep meeting.

Of no use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two. The small boy gets it for nothing— The young man has to steal it—- The old man has to buy it— The baby’s right, The lover’s delight, The hyprocite’s mask— To a young girl—Faith, To a married woman—Hope, To an old maid—Charity.
