Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1927 volume:

Robert Louis Stevenson, author of “Treasure Island, and famous for the delightful informality of his writings, was born in Edinburg, November 13, 1850. From his father he inherited a talent for engineering and the out-of-doors, while from his mother, who came from a family of scholars and ministers, the boy inherited his literary instinct. Handicapped by incipient tuberculosis, the boy was forced to abandon, successively, the profession of engineering, law, and the teaching of literature at Edinburg. Always he had enjoyed writing, and it is noteworthy that he adopted it as his profession from coercion rather than from choice. Since he was his own severest critic, it was not until he was twenty-nine that one of his works—a series of essays—was published in “Cornhill Magazine.” Believing that “To travel worthily is better than to arrive, And that true success is to labor,” he continued to work slowly, so that his wiitings brought him the golden gains of approval from an audience which was “lit—though few rather than a Treasure Island of immediate wealth. Although he loved adventure, he did not ignore the sublimity of the commonplace, a fact which may carry inspiration to all who hope to live rather than to make a living. Industrious in his profession, joyous in its execution, and gallant in adversity—why should not the theme of our annual be in keeping with his most popular book? E A. M.

Many of our predecessors had been successful in their treasure hunts, so we had high hopes. Several of our crew asked the question, “Will that treasure amount to much?” Our captain. D. E. Zook, gave us the directions to the Isle of Learning. They were hard study and good behavior. Our division officer was Miss Abigail Mann. She urged us on through our many difficulties as only an experienced captain can do with a crew as large as ours. Lester Gray was chosen as our first mate; Olga Frederick, second mate; Alta Baxter, purser; Virginia Kettelkamp, yeoman. On, on we sailed o’er the calm sea. But alas! a mutiny arose when Captain Zook announced that orations would be given by every sailor after this year. Some were badly injured by the sudden blow, but recovered after some of our optimistic crew told them that perhaps the captain would forget it. After the mutiny, the Sophomores, a crew just a short distance ahead of us, entertained us with a wonderful party, and we in turn entertained them. These entertainments gave us courage to go on to the end. Four times we were nearly stranded on the Rocks of Exams, but our knowledge of these dangers on the sea kept us on the lookout for them and we were not badly hurt. In June we were marooned on the Isle of Vacation. Three months later we again embarked on the derelict ship, which we renamed “The Sophomore.” We also chose two new division officers, Miss Blessing and Mr. Rademacher. Our new first mate was Maude Hard, who is now lost on the Sea of Matrimony. Our yeoman was Madeline Ronchetti, and the second mate was James Young. The current carried us far out into the sea again, and after several severe storms (exams) we were forced to make a landing on an island which we sighted not far away. Of course we were a little thankful for this, for we had grown so tired of the sea, but we did miss the entertainments we had enjoyed on board the ship. Several of our men were beginning to make their “mark” in athletic contests and we were very proud of them. Many of our mates, utterly discouraged with the hunt, refused to go farther, so in September we found it a little lonesome without our old pals. We had been forced to remodel our vessel, and this time we rechristened it with great dignity, “The Junior.” We elected new officers: first mate, Madeline Ronchetti; second mate, Olga Frederick; purser, James Young; yeoman, Arthur Zimmer-mann. The division officers were Miss Thompson and Mr. Rademacher. The sea was smooth-sailing now, and we glided along peacefully, with little fear of the Senior Sea beyond, in which we would have to cruise for nine long months. On board the ship one night we entertained the members of another ship with a banquet—a beautiful affair it was. After being stranded on the Island of Hope for three months we re-embarked in September. Our new officers were Lester Schniepp, first mate; Donald Calihan, second mate; Elma Wittnam, purser; Madeline Ronchetti. keeper of the log; Harold Harms, third mate. The division officers were Miss Yackle and Mr. Barth. Our ship. “The Senior,” was one of the latest models, and was large enough for us to hold various contests on board. Our crew held out the longest and we were claimed victors in the basketball and Annual tag contest. One morning in June we beheld a tiny island, just a short distance away. Surely this was the Isle of Education! Every hand on deck made ready to anchor the schooner, and we disembarked with only our muskets of knowledge to defend ourselves from the dangers that might overtake us. The directions we had received in the beginning from the captain led us to the discovery of the treasure—which to us is better than gold. G. W. Page twenty Old Momis i LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1927 I, the Class of 1927, of the Nokomis Township High School, having come to the end of my long life in a peaceful and undisturbed state of mind, do hereby give and bequeath all my worldly goods and possessions with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, as seemeth wise and fitting in my judgment. I may say that in making these bequests I have been said to possess in a remarkable degree, common sense. I, Viola Bertsch, do bequeath my shy and retiring manners to Ethel Hard. I, Lester Schniepp, give to Ralph Herwig my boldness around the girls. I, Mae Gray, do bequeath my perfect knowledge of cosmetics and ability to use them to Katherine Ronchetti. 1, John Cuthbertson, leave my lovely complexion, if it can be found between the freckles, to Louis Rademacher.

I, Theo Dewitt, bequeath my everlasting giggles to Rudolphina Hartel and Helen Calihan, hoping they can both together take care of them. I, Boss Rhine, leave my reputation as teacher’s pest to my young brother, “Sheik,” in order to keep such an admirable trait in the family.

I, Madeline Ronchetti, leave my position as contralto in the chorus to Roxie Crites. I, Norma Henkle, leave my long dresses to Mary Krohta. I, James Young, leave Margaret to anyone who can get her.

We, Spruill Battles and Lawrence Vernetti, do bequeath our Cave-man tactics with the girls to George Evans and Albert Sanuskar. I, Arthur Zimmerman, do bequeath my position as business manager to anyone who can till my shoes—only one foot to a shoe. I, Irma Cavaletto. leave my quiet and extremely feminine ways to Marie Jenkins. I, Harold Harms, leave my bashfulness around the girls to Rudolph Kettelkamp. I, Frank Wright, do bequeath my tennis championship to Frank Rakes, my name-sake, better known as “Fat.” I. Ralph Kettelkamp, do bequeath the love which Mrs. Moody has for me to some poor Senior of 1928. I further wish it understood, that if any beneficiary of this document should attempt to dispute or set aside any legacy herein mentioned, he shall immediately be cut off from all provision of said document, and be “cast into the outer darkness” of the unmentioned ones. Hereunto have I set my hand and seal, knowing that all the provisions herein proclaimed are as unalterable and indissoluble as the famous laws of the Medes and Persians. CLASS OF 1927. HIGH SCHOOL DAYS Early that September morn. In the year of twenty-three, We entered in N. T. H. S. As green as we could be. We were welcomed by the Soph’mores Who smeared our faces red, And when we heard the big bell ring We entered the hall with dread. Next year we were Soph’mores wise And tried our skill at art; Rut the thoughts of being Juniors Were those next to our hearts. Alas! we are upper classmen Pressing on with all our might. Hoping at last to reach our goal And to be Seniors bright. Nineteen hundred and twenty-six, The last year has opened its gate; And if we pass our English Four Promotion and success await. But are we joyful after all To leave this school forever more? Oh ! just to be a green “Freshie” And live these four years o’er. —V. T. Page twenty-two Old 9lofeomis — —i SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY You have all heard of new inventions, no doubt, but the newest one to my knowledge, is the prophoscope. As I was sailing on the S. S. Leviathan, I met a man who told me he had invented a machine that would prophecy the future of people. As 1 named over mv schoolmates, he told me briefly what each would do in ten years from now, and here is an account of what he said: Harold Harms will be the coach at Nokomis High School. Spruill Battles will make his lectures so real that farmers will be convinced that chinch bugs are their best friends. Frances Goesman will be private secretary to Principal D. E. Zook. Orville Rhodes will star in “He-Man” with Mary Pickford. Anna Studnick will reform and become a prim old maid. Her dearest possessions will be her cat and her spectacles. Donald Calihan and Maynard Bridwell will go treasure hunting in the South Sea Islands. The prophoscope says they will return with as much money as Captain Kidd did. Alta Baxter will be the Domestic Science teacher in the Raymond High School for one year, after which she will settle down in Chicago with one of our 1926 basketball champions. Lester Schneipp will be the quarterback on the all-star American football team. Erma Cavaletto, the basketball champion of the girls at the Nokomis High School, will become gymnastic teacher in the University of North Carolina. Gladys Wright will continue to work on history, but she will become a noted teacher in New York and will write histories. Rosse Rhine will be the most valuable man on the University of Illinois' basketball team—a six-foot center. Florence Stapleton will appear as the main vaudeville feature at the Palace Theater—it seems the girl with a giggle will become the girl with a wiggle. She will be accompanied on the piano by Irwin Singler, noted pianist. Edna Stolte will tour Montgomery County, lecturing on woman’s rights. Ralph Kettlekainp will contribute jokes to the “Judge.” That's not saying how many of them will be accepted. Madeline Ronchetti will teach English in the Peoria High School for several years, but the saying that school teachers are old maids will not hold true in her case. Elma Wittnam and Frank Wright will star in “Love’s Turmoil.” Williard Morgan will become useful. He will hold the baby while “mamma” goes calling. Marian Robertson will spend her honeymoon in Chicago, after which she will be at home to her friends in Decatur. John Cuthbertson will be the world’s champion prize-fighter, with Lawrence Vernetti as his sparring partner. Page twenty three Old 9lokomis Olga Frederick and Then DeWitt will he famous New York society leaders. They will entertain former classmates on Christmas day, 1935. Paul Fisher will be a member of the House of Representatives. Evelyn Johnson will manicure nails—in a hardware store. James Jachino will be the owner of an extensive factory, where he will manufacture fleece-lined shoestrings. Norma Henkel w ill be a second Florence Nightingale in a coming war. James Young will be a barber, and his wife, Margaret, will be his manicurist. Vi Bertsch, the little flapper, will settle down, but not in Ohlman—in Rosamond. John Jachino will be a dealer in antiques, and will sell 1915 model Fords. There will be a special at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis—a three-ring circus, with Mabel Hieronymus as bareback rider, Mae Gray as elephant rider, and Ida Howell, blower of the calliope. Garrelt Brown will be the leader of a Socialist party in New York. Mary Luschnig will be the pianist for Peabody’s Symphony Orchestra. Vein Grabbe will be Governor of Illinois—if his opponent doesn’t beat him. Virginia Kettelkamp will be a popular magazine writer. Her article will be “Why Isn’t Kissing Healthful?” Arthur Zimmerman will be a famous doctor. He will be able to cure any disease except Love. Vinita Tindle will be the only member of the Class of ’27 to get into the Follies—nearly every other girl in the class will try, but fail. E. J. SENIOR YELL S—S—SEN I—I—IOR SENIOR—SENIOR—SENIOR WHO?

THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After completing the course in the Naval Academy (the Grade Schools), we, the luniors of today, were sent aboard the ocean liner, A High School Education’, as Freshmen. It took us several days to get acquainted with the ship. During the first weeks we were treated very harshly by the old crew (the upper-classmen) who delighted in trying to help us lose ourselves on the ship. The first hit of rough sailing we had was the intelligence test. Most ol us survived this only to run into more rough seas, (the first quarter examinations). After we reached quiet water once again, the Sophomores entertained us one evening with a very splendid party. We had no more trouble in completing our first year’s work because we knew that the rest of the crew was with us. When, the next June, Mr. Zook told us that we might return home for a rest, we were hardly able to make the ship travel fast enough to satisfy us. The next fall we returned to the ship to find new members (the Freshmen) added to the crew. We greatly enjoyed causing these new members to make mistakes. We were not always so jolly, however, for there were more intelligence tests and examinations to be taken. As Sophomores we exceeded all former records. Since we were now upper-classmen, we gave the Freshmen a partv which they returned later in the year by inviting us to attend the Olympic Games. At times during the winter we were icebound, but we always managed to work our way out. By the next June we were tired, worn, and ready foi the summer’s rest. Last fall we returned to our ship, ranking as Juniors. The first great thing we did was to win the intramural football tournament. We are living up to, and exceeding, all former records. “Onward” is our cry, and we hope, by the end of another year, to have perfected our High School Education, and to graduate as the most intelligent class that ever attended the Nokomis Township High School. 1 S —LaBoR. Page twenty-seven Old 91okomis i— THE MODERN MARINERS (Junior Class Poem) It is the Junior Class you see, And a right good lot are they; By their flashing hair and wavy eyes, You can tell them far away. Charles Folkerts, the ladder, won’t grow much taller— He really couldn’t care for a girl much smaller. For Lucille, you know, is our little newcomer, Like Harry, the warbler, who'll make a great lover. “Ezzy” and “Rade” all in one Makes baskets without straw. Joyce and Doris, the twins, you know, Their lessons they study like Judd does the law. Verna and Elsa, whose motto is “Laughing’s a way to good health.” There’re Helen and “Rudy,” the Giggle Girls, And Lawrence with his prophesied wealth. “Lank” is a lamp-post, tall and straight. With two dark lights in the top; And Hubert, the life of the sheik is his fate; And Maurice would make a good “cop.” “Percy’s” the pal of us all, you know, Violets she brings to the mind. Two Ivans we have, and good fellows they are. There’s Margaret so beautiful and kind. Speaking of Shakespeare and his much-loved plays ( ?) And Juliet’s balcony days— Charles Reisacher’s our Romeo of unequalled worth, When Hannah flaunts sweet, smiling ways. Vivian’s the girl who in silence is joyous; We’re so happy because she’s here. Ethel’s the maid who in shyness doth charm us, And the rest we’ll forever revere. The pen now is hot, and the ink is gone dry, And my fingers are needful of rest. If you see not vour name in this unbalanced list Say not, “They remember the best.” For hold the cup high o’er the Mariner’s tide And here’s to the lad and the lass Whose name is not mentioned in this rhyme of the sea.

SOPHOMOME CLASS MISTOHY On a bright, sunny morning in the early part of September, 1926. sixty-eight Freshmen came to the N. T. H. S. in the search for the treasure of education. We were helped by Mrs. Moody and Mr. Myers, our class advisors. Our class president was Ivan Johnson; vice-president, Irene McLean; and treasurer. Lillian Holmes. We created a hatred toward the upper classmen because of the initiation, but it died away in the course of time. The Sophomores entertained us with a Hallowe’en party just before the first quarterly examination. A number of Freshmen were feeling blue because their names were found on the incomplete list. On February the fourteenth, we entertained the Sophomores at a Valentine Party. The year passed without many serious mistakes. Of course, we were “kidded” and jeered about being only Freshmen and being so “green,” but we became accustomed to that, for we heard it so often. In September, 1927, we were sorry to find we had lost a number of class members by the wayside. Only forty-six became happy-go-lucky Sophomores. We planned to give the Freshmen a Hallowe’en Party, but were sorely disappointed the evening it was to be given when Mr. Zook announced that there would l e no party because of the fact that some Freshmen and Sophomores had not paid their class dues. Sophomores could be recognized by their long faces and cross looks that evening, but the Juniors and Seniors just laughed. However, the wound was partially healed when we were entertained by the Freshmen at an “automobile show.” “Fat” Rakes and “Betty” Brown were elected most popular pupils in our class, while our girls’ and boys’ basketball team won third place in the intramural contest. Thus closes a rather uneventful Sophomore year, but more shall be heard of us next year. C. N.

THE GOOD SHIP FRESHMAN LOG—1926P27 In September, 1926. about 110 boys and girls enlisted as cabin boys on the famous ship, “Freshman,” to make a voyage to 1 reasure Island, seeking the priceless treasure hidden many years ago by wise captains. They were told the treasure was called “education,” and that it was in the form of books, papers, sports and other desirable things. With Miss Hoeppner and Mr. Myers as pilots, and Frank Ronchetti as captain, the cabin boys managed to sail quietly for about eight weeks. However, there were three other good ships in search of the same treasure. The ship “Senior” reached the first trading post on the map before the “Freshman” did. and got half price on the goods. However, through the aid of the crew on the good ship “Junior” the “Freshman” was second. In the furious storm which followed at the end of eight weeks of life as cabin boys, some of the crew were lost, some were very sea-sick of a dread disease, incompleteness, and the ship was badly damaged. After nearly two weeks of repair, the ship sailed on. The cabin boys welcomed the new rules, which prohibited initiation, and later proved themselves worthy in various ways. Bruno Giovanelli was chosen the most popular sailor in the crew. Dorothy Evans, another sailor, was the only genius on board. The cabin boys on the “Freshman” were delighted when given an opportunity to entertain the crew of the good ship “Sophomore. The crew on the “Freshman” discovered some treasure after nine months of hard sailing, but it was not large enough for them, so most of them were transferred to the “Sophomore’ for the year 1927-1928.

Aloet To Po I nr Page thirty-six Page thirty-seven OUR CHORUS Old 9lofeomis r — “Music the fiercest grief can charm, And fate’s severest rage disarm; Music can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please.” Our largest organization in school is the chorus. It is made up of fifteen boys and thirty-six girls. For anyone who has musical talent this organization offers a splendid opportunity for development. Very good progress was made during the year and we helped furnish musical entertainment for various occasions. A boys’ glee club and girls’ glee club were organized from the chorus talent and these including the chorus, are preparing a selection for the county meet. We are proud to state that Judd Brown served splendidly at the piano. The main rendition of the chorus this year was “College Days,” a musical comedy in three acts. It was given Tuesday. April 19th, to a packed house. The principals in the cast in the order as they appeared were: William Dean Coles, known as “Tubby,” Melvin Brueckner; John Harris, known as “Jack,” catcher on the college nine, Vern Grabbe; David Carson, pitcher on the college nine, Harrv Lucke; Dorothy Smith, “Prexy” Smith’s daughter, Joyce Zimmerman; Helen Jordan, Dorothy’s pal, Alta Baxter; Chauncy DeForest, known as “Dude,” as crooked as a corkscrew, Wayne Warnsing; Jim Fox, owner of the town pool- Page thirty-eight Old Momis hall, Lawrence Rapp; Professor Horace Greeley Smith, president of Brinkdale College, Arthur Zimmerman; Martha Baldwin Teale, dean of women of Brink-dale, who just loved romance, Madeline Ronchetti; Fred Swift, known as “Toppy,” Ivan Anderson; Charles Sweet, known as “Sweety,” Edwin Kettel-kamp; Don Jewett, known as “Babe,” James Young. “THE STORY OF THE PLAY A baseball game furnishes the excitement for the opening of “College Days.” The Brinkdale College nine is playing Fairview and the game has reached the last half of the ninth inning when the opera opens. The scene is a portion of the campus on which a score-board has been erected showing what is happening on the field. Davy Carson wins the game for Brinkdale by knocking a home-run. The principals and chorus enter singing their college song. The hero, Davy, arrives via the shoulders of his admirers. When the excitement dies down he finds a few minutes alone with “Prexy’s” daughter, Dot, whom he loves, and they come to an understanding. But the villain of the piece loves Dot too, so he, with a local pool-room proprietor, plots to have Davy accused of framing to throw a final game, which is yet to be played, to the rival college, Fairview. The plans get well under way and through various villainous means De Forest really succeeds in driving Davy from college in disgrace. Two years later allowing for the World war, in which Davy did himself proud and De Forest, the villain, just before he was about to “go west” tells another Brinkdale man the truth. Tubby, the man who receives De Forest’s dying confession, writes it to his sweetheart, who is a chum of Dot’s. A telegram is sent stating that he will arrive next day, bringing Davy, a hero once more, with him. Then “Prexy” proclaims a holiday in their honor and Dot begs Davy’s forgiveness for her lack of faith, and all ends happily. Old Wokomis ORCHESTRA Perhaps the greatest work which school orchestras can accomplish, is to instill and encourage a love of ensemble playing in their members. It has been repeatedly shown that nothing will encourage the study and love of music so much as personal participation in the art of making it. There are few influences for the dissemination of musical knowledge and experience which will compare with that of the school orchestra. Our high school orchestra of twenty members celebrated its second birthday this year. Its members receive full credit toward graduation. Great interest has been shown by the members of the orchestra and remainder of the school. On a number of occasions entertainment was rendered for programs, banquets, assemblies and plays. AMT Modern pedagogy demands that a subject be taught in such a way as to interest the pupil, to fit his needs, and to give him a chance at self-expression. To answer these requirements, the teaching of “Art” has been introduced into our school this year. The child has the capacity to respond to beauty, and “Art” offers a great opportunity for the development of this capacitv. In our “Art” course we strive to meet the needs of the nation not only for creative artists but for finer tastes in citizens. e hope to shape and to mold the tastes and develop the powers of observation and appreciation in all of our students. All our life we have to make selections and v e aim to set up standards which will act as guides in choices involving color design and appropriateness. l y giving our young people a creative interest in order, we hope to make them dissatisfied with chaos and discord. An Art exhibit is planned to show what the pupils have made during this course. Pape forty Old Momis Ave, Societas Latina!” The Latin Club was organized in the spring ol 1926. All students who were taking or had taken Latin were eligible for membership. The Club meets monthly on the second Monday. There are live officers elected by the Senate to serve for a year. They are: Olga Frederick....................Consul Doris Schneider...................Consul Elma Wittnam.....................Praetor Frances Goesman.................Quaestor Alta Baxter.......................Censor Some of the meetings are social, others business, and program. The members of the Club join in Latin song, either at the beginning or the end of each meeting. All programs and social entertainments are based upon old Roman times and ways. Several Latin playlets were given in public. One was given before the Parent-Teachers’ Association, another at the entertainment for benefit of “Old Nokomis” and tbe Christmas program. This leads to one great thing in mind—the purpose of the Club—which is to create an interest and sociability among Latin students. Page forty-one Old 9lokomis r— N. T. H. S. CAFETERIA The cooks of our expedition Are dreaming of a future vision. They are very needful on this trip To keep all in condition fit And make for each a pleasure The task of searching for the treasure. To this self-supporting “bunch” All the sailors come for lunch. Each noon there is a grand stampede To see who first shall get his “feed.” We serve macaroni and cheese And delicious creamed peas: Campbell’s baked beans, Colored ice creams, And such pretty red beets. All exclaim, “This can’t be beat!” Coffee and cream, Wieners that are steamed. And now, listen to the moral, friends so dear, If you have never bought your dinner here, Plan to buy from us next year. —Ruth Schellhaus. Paye forty-two Old 9lokomis — —i AG CLUB The first meeting of the Agricultural Club, under the supervision of their instructor, Mr. Stumm, was held in September. The following officers were elected : Maurice Sparks, president; Carl Heldebrandt, vice president; Clement Stauder, secretary and treasurer. Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. The Ag Club judging team was very active last year. The team took high honors at the sectional grain and poultry contest held at Stonington. Robert Hard was high individual in grain judging. At the Sectional Livestock contest held at Assumption the team took third place. This time Carl Heldebrandt was high individual of the team. These teams were composed of the following: Robert Hard. Hubert Brown, Leslie Pyle, Maurice Sparks, Carl Heldebrandt. At the State Contest held at Urbana in June, Nokomis was represented by Hubert Brown, Maurice Sparks and Carl Heldebrandt. The team took second place and Hubert Brown was highest individual judge in fat stock judging. As a result, Nokomis gets the loving cup for one year with Hubert’s name engraved upon it. This fall a team composed of Hubert Brown, Clement Stauder, Carl Helde-brandt and Maurice Sparks took first place at Hillsboro and Litchfield fairs. Maurice Sparks and Carl Heldebrandt, respectively, were high individuals of the contest. The community grain show sponsored by the Ag Club was held in the Agriculture rooms on December 1 and 18. 1 here were forty entiies this year, and the qualitv of the grain was much better than expected. The prize money was donated by the Nokomis Merchants’ Association, Central, 111., Creamery Co., and the Ag Club. Paje forty-three STUNT NIGHT Old Tlokomis The evening of November 17, 1926, was a date well-filled with entertainment, produced Py me.oners of the Senior Dramatic Club, Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes, and orchestra. After a few weeks of “please say that a little louder,” “repeat that, please,” “now put more expression in that,” etc., some members of the Senior Dramatic Club were able to produce two plays exceptionally well. The first number given was a farce entitled, “Hamlet, Hamlet, Where Have You Been.-” The characters of this melodious play were Judd Brown, Joyce Zimmerman Charles Reisacher, Vivian Rosche, James Young, Ralph Kettelkamp, Ivan (ohnson and Edwin Kettelkamp, with numerous “supers” and extras. The second, which was a rather “get into trouble” affair, was entitled “The Lie That lack Built.” The characters were Donald Calihan, Vinita Tindle, Madge Ronchetti and Williard Morgan. Both plays were enjoyed by all. Other features of the evening’s performances were the stunts given by the four classes, Freshman, Sophmore, Junior and Senior. These were well conducted and were carried forth with great ability. The program for the evening was as follows: Number.....................................................

Page forty-four Old (Momis THE BARTH HOUSE WARMING “At your house at eight o’clock?” “Of course we’ll come.” This answer, in substance, was the response of the faculty to Mr. Barth’s invitation to attend a party at his house on the night of Oct. 20th. The benedictines of the faculty had the privilege of taking not only themselves, but also their respective attaches, so that a fairly large party was assembled. Royal Junior, apparently delighted with the time, the place and the hour, entertained us with gracious informality. Decorously, as befits a gentleman of his advanced (?) years, he assisted in arranging the tables for pinochle and bridge and then, with a solemnity befitting the occasion, he surveyed the progress of the respective players. We should like to record that everybody was lucky and that high scores were made bv all, but respect for truth compels us to admit that some players, who shall here be nameless, lost the pinochle game to Mr. Zook and his blonde partner, while bridge tables, hilariously involved in counting their respective losses and gains, at length abandoned the struggle and gave their attention to the refreshments which were well timed and appreciated. We hope, unanimously, that when the Barths give another party we will be on the list of those present. I- A. M. FACULTY HALLOWE'EN PARTY Due to the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Myers, Hallowe’en was properly observed by members of the Faculty and, where circumstances permitted, their husbands and wives. When we arrived at the Myers home, all seemed quiet and unsuggestive of the occasion. No pumpkins, no black cats, no witches were in evidence. However, our hostess soon asked us to join in the old game of “Follow the Leader,” and we very shortly found ourselves wending our way through the kitchen and down the basement steps into the veritable abode of the witches and evil spirits. They grinned at us from Jack-O’lanterns, they dangled from the ceiling, they peered from behind the branches of the autumn leaves which lined the walls’ And yet we found this a very comfortable place in which to spend an evening, made so by rugs, chair, divans, and pillows. We engaged in many games of skill, such as picking up apples with a spoon, dropping corn into a glass upon the tloor, chewing a string from each end to sec who could reach the center first. Mr. Zook was the unquestioned champion in all these important contests of skill—even in the chewing match. We were served with delicious refreshments, and each presented with a clever favor of a Brownie, made from an apple, tooth picks, a marshmallow and a bit of crepe paper. It was delightful to return so completely to the days of our childhood, and to Mr. and Mrs. Myers we owe a debt of gratitude for an evening of unreserved fun. C. H. E. Page forty-five Old Tlokomis i— FRESHMANssSOPHOMOFE PARTY On the evening of January fifteenth, the Freshmen invited the Sophomores to an auto show in the N. T. H. S. gym, to view the new 1928 model cars that had just arrived fresh from the factories. All were pleasantly surprised to find in their midst that evening, two great American celebrities, Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who delivered the opening addresses. All present were divided into auto groups, and the contests that took place between the various cars were indeed exciting. What fun they had in changing tires, putting on side curtains, patching blow outs, and filling radiators! However, it was proved that the Willys-Knights and Lincolns were the best all-around cars on the market and the chauffeurs of these two cars secured grand prizes of patching glue which resembled our P. K.’s. After the contest it was time to retire and fill up with gas, so all paraded to the adjoining garage, where they secured a gallon of gas (pop) and several extra tires (doughnuts). They were all very sorry to leave the auto show and thought it would be lovely to attend one every year, if they were all like this one. —Y. D. SENIOR JUNIOR PARTY March 18, 1927. Faith and begora but we had a foine time, and shure and a little rain didn’t mind us. Shure and it pays to hold the Senior class president’s hand for foive minutes. Anyway, Verna thinks so. The next thing that was executed was the initiation—a representative from each class was chosen, also a member of the faculty. These were duly submitted to different forms of punishment termed by Seniors “St. Patrick’s initiation.” Later two features of the program were a musical romance and a play entitled “Over the Back Fence.” Next we were given tally cards which were in the shape of green pigs. Then we were ushered into the fair and spacious corridor to play “bunco.” An exciting time followed. The result of all this was favorable for Miss Thompson, who won first prize, a small green hat filled with candy. Faith and we thought it was about time for refreshments and shure and the noble Seniors thought so too. We then proceeded upstairs to the sewing room, which was decorated beautifully in green and white. We secured partners by matching small green shamrocks. A delicious drink of lime and lemon was the first course. Then a meat salad with rolls was served. The last course was green and white brick ice cream. The tables were tastefully decorated with candles and small favors of green gumdrops and life savers; oh yes, and novelty hats. Appropriate songs were sung in between times, accompanied by Mrs. Moody. As all good things come to an end—thus the party. We departed for home amid rain, wind, and lightning but what cared we since we were happy. Paye ftftty-six Old Momis A TWENTIETHssCENTURY JOLLY ROGER It was wretched weather, drizzling and dark—oh, so dark. There were creep)' noises—probably the ghosts that walked that lonely isle. Crouching among the bushes were two figures. They were cold and wet, but not discouraged. The one, tall and strong, was clothed in tattered breeches and shirt, and his once-gay sash was streaked and torn. If you could have seen his face in that darkness you would have found it also streaked and dirty. A scar, probably made by a crashing saber on the left cheek, added to its awfulness. Two large rings swung noisily from the ears and a dark-red bandanna was tied around the rumpled hair. It was not the kind of figure one likes to meet on a gloomy night— oh, no. In his right hand was rolled a black package. His companion was shorter and stouter. He looked like he might have once been an Englishman of rank, but now his lace cuffs were torn and dirty, his crimson jacket and breeches were muddy, and his hair ill-kept. Those dreary days of plundering on shipboard were not good for the soft Englishman He was brave though, and had learned many things from his strange companion. The two had fought, had been wounded and honored together by the Pirate Band. Now they stealthily approached the barricade back of the camp. From this barricade floated a crimson banner with a curious emblem. It seemed that the duty of these persons was to capture the flag—yes, for the Pirate Band. The tall figure was trying to decipher a piece of parchment. It was discouraging work. That piece of parchment told all that was needed in order to capture the crimson banner. “Eight—Sen-turn right—ladder to roof rope—spout to starboard crimson banner—” was all they could decipher. The strange characters would have been hard to read in day time, but much harder to decipher on a dark, rainy night. The paper was wet and the characters were rapidly being washed away. By vigorous working and climbing the two ascended to the roof of the building and quickly and quietly changed the flags, taking the fortress for the Black Pirate Band. As they returned to the waiting ship, they discovered that there was none. Its dark silhouette could scarcely be seen against the darkness of the night. The two flag-hearers were deserted on that lonely isle with no provisions, no shelter but the trees and no chance to escape. . . . As the five-minute bell rang the first period Friday morning, two English III Books, a fountain pen, Dick Hollister and Frosty Jones fell into the room. Their clothes gave the appearance of having been thrown on them. Frosty’s face was blessed with a red streak which looked like something red had faded and run down, and a make-believe saber-scar. He evidently had forgotten to wash his face. Dick’s shoes were adorned with huge silver buckles and bits of cotton clung to his hair. “You kids look like the ‘wreck of the Hesperus and a Physics quizz combined,’ ” piped up a sandy-haired lad, after the class had been dismissed. Page forty-seven Old Olokomis “So’s your old man. You wouldn’t look so superbonbosteous yourself if you had stayed out all night on the Haunted Isle with a red bandanna around your head and a Pirate flag tucked under your arm,” replied Frosty with emphasis. “I’ll say not, not when you had to swim back this morning, walk three miles, take off what was left of the glad rags from the Senior-Junior pow-wow and dress—all in an hour. I shouldn’t wonder if some of ‘Ye Olde English wige’ isn’t still there; and say, I skinned my arms on that blooming rain spout.” “Just wait’ll I get Shorty, the Spy. Such shorthand. No wonder it took us so long. I fell down into one window and about wrecked the chimney when it got in my way.” “Sorry we had to leave you, Dick, but the Seniors were getting suspicious. Better luck next time,” called back the Pirate Chief. So the Juniors or “Black Pirates” held the clubhouse and the Seniors or “Red Dragons,” mourned their loss. The Pirates had a “feed” at the clubhouse, but they kept one pirate at the flagpole to guard it all the time. However, he was fed cocoa and cake at regular intervals. But by a month after their fatal Hallowe’en party, the Seniors had borrowed an airplane and captured the Pirate flag before the very eyes of the pirates themselves, and successfully ruled over the clubhouse for the long time of one week.—D.

Although playing with an injured shoulder a greater part of the season he was never out of the game. In the Decatur, Moweaqua and Hillsboro games Page fifty-tivt Old Momis i he was a bulwark on defense and hard to stop on offense in the Moweaqua game. His passes were accurate, his tackling deadly, and his offensive work dependable. Nokomis will miss Jim. JACHINO “N” (HALFBACK) Jack’s playing his last year, but will be remembered as one of the pluckiest players on the squad. Probably only Capt. Jim neared him in fight. His best game was the Assumption game, in which he generalled and advanced the ball most consistently. He was a dependable player, a good tackier, ball carrier, and either tosser or receiver of passes. FISHER “N” (FULLBACK; TACKLE) Scott’s fighting spirit carried Nokomis men through in many games. He was rousted about, starting as tackle, at end, and finally fullback, where he played a greater part of the season. He backed the line in great style and was a consistent plunger for short gains. Scott’s “Com’on gang” will be missed in next season’s play. FOLKERT’S “N” (END) “Spooks,” rangy wing, started off with an awful bang, but slowed up as the season continued. His game was consistent. He was a fair pass receiver and an excellent man going under punts. “Oil” will be one to make up the nucU us of next season’s team. RAKES“N” (CENTER) “Fat,” our dreadnought center, received the only fame in the squad as all star selections. He was placed on first team at center in Conference on Decatur Review and State Register and third team all central Illinois guard in field of some forty high schools. Quite a distinction. His 270 pounds was almost immovable in line when attempts were made to shove him about. His best games were Assumption, Pana and Hillsboro. “Fat” has two more football seasons in which to bring grief to opposing backs that face him. YOUNG “N” (RIGHT TACKLE) Jimmie playing his last season proved himself a very reliable man, never ineligible and always in the play, rarely being taken out of it. He was a plucky offensive man, being able to do his part, and opposing backs generally found him rolling into their shins when a play went through his side. KETTELKAMP “N” (HALFBACK; END) “Frosty.” His play being broken by accident permitted him to play only ihe final two games of the season. Near the end of the Pana game he showed plenty of fight, but lack of weight kept him from harming Sarple much; and the Hillsboro game, where at half he managed to display real varsity ability, marked his playing career. What he lacked in weight he had in spirit and confidence. RHODES “N” (LEFT TACKLE) Terrible Flop, playing his last year, finally became a man to fill Chausse’s place; although light in weight he was the hardest tackier in the line. Playing low and without abandon in most instances, he made himself known when opposing backs started around their right flanks. Flop also could pull down the oval from the air. Page fifty-three Old %komis JACHINO “N” (HALFBACK) Vic, a Freshman, came through to keep the name of Jachino for three more Annuals in N. T. H. S. Although light and inexperienced it befell his lot, with no other eligible back, to play the Assumption game, in which he did very well. This season makes us believe that if Vic works he will surpass even Jack’s and Jim's athletic progress. ROLINAITIS “N” (R. GUARD) Jick, another Freshman, played guard throughout the season, not missing a game through ineligibility; with the help of his weight he made a very dependable player. He became our punter and the pigskin generally took a nice ride oft his toe. It was his punts that stayed the Hillsboro tribe oft for a 6-2 game for them. OBREGAR “N” (L. END) Paulie, another Freshman to make the coveted “N,” proved himself worth while as a defensive man primarily. His play was consistent and conscientious. Three more years and Paulie should show plenty of stuff. O’BRIEN “N” (L. GUARD) Tcck, a Junior, rose from the rank of subs this season into a varsity and dependable player. Teck’s arms and shoulders were poison to offensive backs. His offense was good, but it did not equal his defense. lie should do great things next season. GRABBE “N” (HALFBACK) Vern, a Senior, made his third attempt at the letter; even though he had given up hope at the beginning of the season and did not report for practice, he got his opportunity, which he made good. His quickness and decisiveness were his greatest assets. Vern’s best game was the Assumption game. ANDERSON “N” (QUARTERBACK) Carp, a Junior, playing the first year at varsity ball, made a success of it. He developed into a fair defensive and offensive man by the end of the season. He was a dependable and conscientious player. His generalship was good and he was an ardent student of strategy. His next year will show his best. DAVIS (CAPT. ELECT.) Stud started out the season crowning himself with glory in the Decatur game. He was responsible for keeping the score as low as it was, and again in the Shelby game, he ripped their line into shreds. He was named, by an almost unanimous choice of letter men, for captain next year. Scholastic difficulties robbed him of a very brilliant season, but we know he will come back to make up for it next season. BRICK “N” (GUARD) Brick, a Junior, crippled the greater part of the season by scholastic handicap, with his weight and determination made himself a power in the line. Brick should show fans a plenty next season. HARD ‘26” (GUARD) Bob, a Junior, was a very conscientious player and student of grid fame. He broke into enough games to give evidence of varsity timber next season. YlIRGIN “26” (END) George, a Sophomore, made a good flank man when called upon to do so. He is a good tackier, offensive man, and pass catcher. George will make competition for any who attempt keeping him off the team next season. Page fifty-four 1 Old 9lokomis BUBNESS “26” (BACK) Vito, a Freshman, developed into a fair backfield man. He was a sure tackle and in the Pana game kept Sarple from crossing N. T. H. S. goal line in the latter part of the game. Vito will make someone step next year. BUECHSENSCHUETZ “26” (GUARD) Blixy, a Sophomore, is another one of the most promising men who did not make a letter, but who remained out for the entire season. He is a good defensive man and his weight and strength should make him a good offensive man. He showed up well in the Pana game this year. HONORABLE MENTION Sparks, at center and guard, was a conscientious and hard player and can be counted on for doing something next year. Cassidy, a Junior, the fighting Irishman, surprised himself by what he did. Hick had to quit before the season ended. Dilly, a Freshman, quarterback, was a conscientious worker and although handicapped by size, will fight his way by sticking it out. Halleman, Freshman, guard, was a hard-hitting tackier and is the making of a good lineman. He, too, had to quit before the season was ended. Schneider and McKenna, Freshmen, guards, were consistent in practice and give promise of football players. Groser, Junior, probably would have been the best end we had, had it not been necessary for him to quit. He was a letter man from last year. Bridwell, tackle, like Jake, blasted the hope of a good season when he was lost to the squad by moving away from the city. REMARKS 1926 grid season ended on Nov. 17 with a 6-2 defeat by Hillsboro,in a snow and slush-covered field. The sons of Nokomis had hope of a successful season blasted by scholastic difficulties, primarily due to a school ruling requiring a student to carry all the work he takes. Although beaten most of the time, the team in only one instance and for only a part of a game played listless and losing football. In each game with the exception of the first game, the team was crippled by a loss of from three to seven dependable men. The one good thing, if any, derived from this season was the making possible for several men to gain playing experience, most all of whom were underclass men. Next season looms up with a nucleus of lettermen and fair prospects for the toughest schedule that Nokomis proteges have attempted. 1927 SCHEDULE Oct. 1—Moweaqua, there. Oct. 8—Assumption, here. Oct. 15—Shelbyville, there. Oct. 22—Gillespie, here. Oct. 29—Litchfield, here. Nov. 5—Hillsboro, there. Nov. 11—Pana, here. Nov. 16—Taylorville, there. THIS LAST SEASON DID NOT LEAVE US SCORELESS N.

The squad loses an excellent man in his graduation. His work was rewarded by honorable mention on Twiss’s “Decatur Review South Centra! Conference Standing” as guard. Jaciiino, James “N” (Forward) “Jim,” playing his last year, proved the most consistent man on the squad. He was a heady player with a fast break, enabling him to score and to guard in whichever manner the situation demanded. His crowning event, if any, was his last game, for each game always found him giving his best. Jim, too, shared with Jack on “The Review’s” honorable mention as forward. Kettelkamp, Ralph “N” (Center) Ralph, playing his last year for high school, although erratic in his early season plav, developed into a good shot and floor man. His Faye fifty-six Old Momis i last game was his best. His basket eye was superb, when he was connecting, bringing several games out of the fire, and his efforts were untiring for improvement. Rademacher, Lons “N” (Forward) “Roodie,” lacking both weight and height, managed to hold a berth on the squad. His defense and floor work developed as the season progressed, but his scoring fell short. Radie’s one more season should, with this season’s showing, rival Kirk’s play. Davis, Gwendyl “N” (Guard) “Stud,” handicapped by a late start, was a valuable asset to the squad. His deliberateness was a decided help in the season’s play. Ineligibility kept him from maintaining a stride of the previous year, although his scholastic efforts were sufficient to warrant his playing guard on the “All South Central Mythical” third five. Bridwell, Maynard “N” (Guard) “Minnie,” playing his last season, came through as a very dependable man. His size made him an excellent rebound man, and his ability as a ball handler made his services very important to the squad. Trifket, Glenn “N” (Guard) “Eeks,” playing his first year at varsity ball, made a very valuable reserve. His dribbling was deceptive, and he was consistent in getting the ball through the defense. His shot from the field was accurate and the free throw line certain. His size was his handicap, although he made up for most of this lack with speed and fight. Young, James “N” (Guard) “Jim,” playing his last season, proved a very valuable guard. His work in the Moweaqua and Gillespie games were deciding factors in his team’s win. He was clever in shifting men, and generally out-guessed the other team’s offense so it was a held ball or his ball. Anderson, Ivan “N” (Forward) “Carp” merged into the varsity squad this season and proved a very val-auble reserve. His services were timely in many of the games he played. He was a good ball handler and a good shot, but his size handicapped him. Rounaitis, Joe “N” (Center) “Jik,” the first Freshman to earn a letter in the past three seasons developed into a very valuable threat, although his services in the games he entered were not spectacular, primarily due to lack of experience. He was a good ball handler and shot, but poor defensively. His spectacular play in the Freshman squad placed him on a competitive basis for the varsity. Pape fifty-seven Old Olokomis Fisher, Paul, ’27 (Guard) “Scott,” playing his last year, was a very sincere player, being a membei of the squad during part of the season. He saw service in several varsity games, being a good fighter and always giving his best. Rhodes, Orville, ’27 (Center) “Flop” came out his last year and, about mid-season, came through with a marked development as an offensive man. He had all the fight in the world but had difficulty in handling the ball. He made a valuable reserve. I INTERMURAL ATHLETICS Hand in hand with varsity basketball was inter class basketball. The tournament was played off just preceding the regular basketball season in a series plan of tournament. The classic games were the Junior and Senior games, both of which were very close games with seniors winning the right of championship. Basketball season finished and as yet not enough basketball to satisfy all, a tournament which included every boy was played off in a round robin plan of tournament, James Jackino’s five dropping Rade’s for the championship. But not alone did basketball keep the entire intra-mural program, but during the football season on an open date week the class football championship was decided. It was battled out between Freshmen and Juniors with Juniors taking it 19-7. But the classic was the Junior-Senior game in 0-0 tie at end of regular playing time. In order to determine a champion an extra period was mutually decided upon in which Juniors pushed over for the deciding counter in last minute play. Juniors 7, Seniors 0. In track the Juniors again displayed their prowess in an overwhelming score with Groser and Anderson high point men. Seniors second, Freshmen third, and Sophomores fourth. Tennis probably, through the efforts of Mr. Zook, has been the most extensive of the intra-mural activities. Last season in the two medal tournaments for both hoys and girls, as this year, every boy and girl that was physically able competed. In boys’ singles Fleming was champion over Hubert Brown. Frank Wright and LeRoy Ramsey were the doubles champions over Fleming and Jack Jackino. In the girls’ singles Elsa Henkel was champion over Grace Brown, and Elsa and Norma Henkel were champions over Mary Mehochko and Mary Luschnig. Faye fifty-eight SECOND SQUAD Old 91okomis i Other men who came near making the varsity squad were Hank Wright, forward; Vern Grabbe, forward; Melvin Brueckner, guard, and Louis Buech senschuetz, guard. These men proved very valuable reserves and were responsible for the development of the varsity. Louis Klancnik, center; Adolph Klancnik, guard; John Karmazinas, for ward; Walter Jenkins, center; George Hill, forward; Ivan Johnson, forward; Wesley Meyers, center; Lester O’Brien, guard; “Rudie” Kettelkamp, forward, and Frank Ronchetti, forward, were others out for the squad who played in preliminary games and took abuse of the varsity in scrimmage. Not enough can be said of their services, which gave pressure to competition for the varsity, and was characterized by sincere effort toward the improvement of the varsity. Page fifty-nine Old 9lokomis TRACK 1926 Bollman “N” (Capt. Pole Vault) 1 urk, holder of the county pole-vault record from the previous year, did not make so great a showing this season. He made his letter in the District Meet at Granite City with fourth place medal. Turk’s other events were the hop-step-jump and the broad jump. Davis “N” (Hurdles) Stud, with his track letter made himself the only three letter man in school last year. He made improvement over his previous season’s record by taking first place in the county high hurdles. His other events were the 50 and 100-yard dash and first runner on the relay team. Meyers “N” (Hurdles) Lester, in his first year at track, became a good hurdler, both the high and the low hurdles. His best event was the lows. He took fourth in the county high hurdles in a close field. In the District Meet he took second in the trial heat and sixth in the final, although he was running in first place till he crossed the seventh timber, where lie lost his stride and came near falling. Page sixty Old Tlokomis Capitani “N” (220 and 440 Dashes) “Capie” developed into a good 440 and 220 man. He took third in 440 in the County and tied third in 220. He was the nerviest runner in the squad. His other event was the relay. “THE SQUAD Anderson in the sprints, Brueckner in the jumps, Cassidy in the weights, Chausse in the sprints, Cuthbertson in the mile, Grisamore in the 880, Governor in the 880 and the weights, Hard in the weights, Kapilla in the sprints, Reinke in the javelin, Triffet in the vault, Vemetti in the mile, Young in the 880, Schneipp in the javelin, Fahnestock in the hurdles and Jim Jackino in the weights were the other members of track squad. Those of the squad who received numerals were those who made the trip to the District Meet at Granite City. They were Anderson, Triffet, Vemetti and Kapilla. During the season there were forty-five men out, most of whom were underclassmen, and who should add to the Red and Black’s track material achievements.

Its origin is remarkable and it is well worth your time to listen to some straight goods. The scene of the plot is laid somewhere in the northern jungles of Africa, and the main character of this revelation is Tiny. He is a young elephant, who resides in the town of Cicero. His parents were moderately wealthy and belonged to the “four-hundred” club. The parents were of the old Puritan stock who didn’t believe in sparing the rod so when Tiny was out of his cradle his hide was plenty tough. Despite the rod he was quite mischievous and had a constant desire to put something over on the old man. To get back to the story you should know that on the date of this memorable event. Tiny had a date to take his sweetheart. Katinka. to the county fair, which was held in Cicero. History reveals to us that Mark Anthony and Cleopatra also had a date for that very same afternoon. Of course this doesn’t belong to the story directly, but it goes to show that this narrative is based on historical facts and not sensational newspaper charges. The feature event of the fair was to be the hurdle race between Tiny, the west end representative, and Bulldozia, the representative of the stock yard district. Our hero had his heart set on winning this race for, besides coming into fame, he would also have a chance to participate in the next Olympics. Eighteen hours before the race was scheduled, the entire grandstand was filled, both the upper and the lower decks. At last the fatal moment arrived. The gun popped and they were off. Tiny shot off in the lead and held onto it for a short while, but his ungraceful form in leaping over the hurdles retarded his speed. Bulldozia cleared the hurdles with the ease of a leopard and coasted in with a safe lead. Besides defeating Tiny he also set a world’s record of two hours and ten minutes flat for the 120-yard low hurdles. For the defeated contestant the world had come to an end. He felt like a student in English class and his only desire was to end it all. Sneaking away, he went down to the river to drown himself. He felt kind of nervous for he had never done it before. Nevertheless, Tiny plunged in. Unhappily though he aroused the anger of Silia, the crocodile king, in his wild plunge, who quickly grabbed the intruder’s nose and began towing him upstream. Tiny was unconscious of his surroundings and thought the devil was taking him to the infernal regions. During this time, though, what was happening to Tiny’s nose? Yielding to the strain the nose had gradually stretched and stretched until it was fully four feet in length. Silia finally tired of his job and tossed Tiny back on the shore. Suddenly, he heard a fire siren shrieking, and bursting into a rapid gallop soon entered his old home town to find all Main street was ablaze. The situation was terrible indeed for the fire wagon had cracked under its mental strain and collapsed, rendering it unfit for further usage. But Tiny seizing the chem-cials emptied them into his trunk and with a mighty blast put out the entire blaze. Needless to say Katinka came back to him and everything was rosy once again. Upon receipt of $1,0(X),(XX).(X) he revealed his patent whereby he got his trunk, and for the next several weeks crocodiles had hard work towing elephants up the river.

When all is said and done; He worked his head off daily, And was out to get the MON. “The reason for his diligence Was commonplace—’tis true ; He tried to swell his salary.

Why go to college, men, when you can get your education from the girls’ Arithmetic—Girls add to your amusement, subtract from your cares, multiply your pleasures, and divide your pocketbook. Algebra—They are indispensible unknowns, and occasionally they furnish examples of limits. Geometry—Any number of irregular figures and are always part of the eternal triangle. Economics—Girls are the mortgage banks of reason—and still have a monopoly on the “first national bank.” Geography—The female species is similar to Niagara Falls, which scares and vet attracts us. History—Girls are daughters of Eve and sometimes of the revolution, and are often the head of domestic wars. Civics—They are absolute monarchs in Democratic countries. Botany—Beautiful plants, and quite often either peaches, lemons or clinging vines. Zoology—Girls are elegant bipeds but very rarely domesticated. Mythology—A girl is a goddess of beauty who requires that our hearts be sacrificed at her altar. Chemistry—A representative of many reactions usually resulting in a piece of carbon being set in gold or platinum. Grammar—Girls are indefinite articles that must be united with masculine names to be significant. Signed, NOT-A-CENT.
