Place, Room I?. Event. Faculty is met to discuss the merits of a prominent educational book. As the reporter sneaks into the room Mr. Allison is tearing the hook to pieces. “Well this author has a consummate amount of nerve to try to make us swallow his theories. lie must think he is writing to a crowd of candidates for Rartonville. I think that the Seniors could use him as a Joke for the lVkinian.” “Yes. interrupted Miss Fleming, “and what’s more, he is too idealistic. Why doesn’t he tell us how to treat unsophisticated Juniors who insist on having tin faculty go through embarrassing stunts in order to reclaim forfeits. He might, at least, have shown some sympathy for those who have to coach Junior plays.” “Oh! Patience alive! (of course it was Miss Rurwash who was talking). Lot’s not talk so much about outside things and we'll get through quicker. I have four people down “below” now making up work and if I don’t got down there soon they will all undermine their health by working too hard. I wonder if this author ever had to go through a mock wedding?” Since she and the reporter were the only ones who heard this last question. Miss Royd refused to commit herself upon this all-important question, hut can’t you all hear her saying “I like this hook and I think we would all like it too. if we would study it as we make our pupils study our lessons. Rut I’ll admit that I am disappointed because tin writer doesn't give any hints that would help one to tell fortunes at a class party.” Mr. Wyatt submits for the consideration of the faculty the opinion that the writer could never have been an athletic coach. Mr. Wyatt further contends that the wrinkles ami gray hairs of a coach come not from a host of unruly athletes but from an unsympathetic faculty which persists in flunking the “stars” just on the eve of a big game. i i = llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllin iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii; 234853485353012348234848235323530223482301235323232353485323010048230101020100010201015323535348235348483223484823234823534853534853480123234848535353 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiitmiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiimiimiiiiiiiimiiiiimimiiiimmm .v io;s sjq pnq .io;.iodoj oqx pou.inofpu ajjuobj oq; 'uos.iop -iiv srjjv .ioj .v’qjBdui.vs jo ;n ) po.ioA suB i (| ;ou p|uo.) uoi;sonl ;stq 8jqx ..Auiuoao sjq; so.iouioqdo£ osoq; i|j;a oqjq u uo ;no tfiijoS joao | uib moh ssoi;so.!

Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Lest Te Forget Class of ’16 Berdine Haake. X H, DEAR, my High School days arc almost ended. Whatever shall I do, separated from this dear Class of 1916? How well I can remember that third day of September in 1912. I entered High School with nine-! ty-ninc other green freshies, ’ and how I ever survived through that day is a 1 mystery to me. The Seniors, although they pitied us for our ignorance of High School life, laughed at our mistakes. But we got through many such 1 days and were none the worse for it. I think it was in October that we had | our first class meeting. How proud we felt after we had elected our officers. But we were rather timid and backv ml and just a little bit awed by the “dignity of the Seniors.” We enjoyed only one party our first year, a valentine box social, but such a time as we did have! What pleasant thoughts come to me as I recall that first party to the Class of T6! There were only fifty-seven of the one hundred Freshmen to enter the Sophomore class. But we clung together and made ourselves noticeable | anyway. We began to take more interest in High School affairs since we were no longer green’ and were not the laughing stock of the upper class-men. We enjoyed several parties that year. We lost our Principal. Mr. Shirley, and gained a new one, Mr. G. E. True, History and English teachers were also renewed; Miss Hartford took the place of Miss Toland in English, and Miss Rider and Miss Chapman took the place of Miss Baldwin in History. Then in our Junior year we lost a few more of our beloved teachers— Mr. Crosby resigned and Mr. Smith took his place as Superintendent. Miss Chapman was replaced by Mr. Lawrence, and Miss Hartford by Mr. R. Y. Allison. The latter, we forty-two Juniors chose as our class adviser. He has led us through two years of English study and two years of pleasure, combined with much hard work. But if he has enjoyed himself as much as we have ourselves, I am sure he has been duly compensated for his labor. We bad our first party in the latter part of September. It was a hayrack party. The thoughts of that wonderful Indian dance around the dying embers where we roasted weiners and toasted marshmallows, set my spirit on fire. How we enjoyed ourselves! Then followed the long debate over that little article—class pin. R t it was a big subject for us, and after much discussion we decided upon i.ie dearest little pin one could imagine. We were always an energetic class, so we gave a bakery sale and a box social to pay for our pins. In March we enjoyed another party at the High School Yes, we almost froze. It’s a pity the Juniors could not have had a fire to keep us warm! And we had a cake stolen, too! The most wonderful event of all, though, was the Junior Class play, The Girl From Porto Rico, ’ given on May 6th and 7th, 1915. That was a grand success and we are proud of the class, the characters, and, most of all, our class teacher, for the efforts used to make it the success it was. I Yes, we made enough money and more, too, to give the Seniors a banquet three weeks later at Hackler’s Hall. How7 we Juniors eagerly awaited that all important event, and how much wc regretted that it was over. We gave the Seniors and ourselves a “royal good time.” I, and surely the rest of ’16, left the Junior Class with a sorrowing pang and pleasant memories which will linger with us always. Ah, I almost forgot the Junior-Senior llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUI llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllll Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiimimi... minnm.urn..... limn.... iilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Mill III II llllllllllllllll Mil Mill III lilllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllnillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllltlllllllllltllllllliu LEST YE FORGET THE CLASS OF T6—Concluded. party held at the Park. I must not omit that for it was there that the Juniors and Seniors became acquainted. I have now come to our last and most precious year in High School. What things we have planned and carried out! How industriously we have all worked to make this year a crowning one! And we didn’t laugh (?) at the “Freshies” either. This year ushered in a new principal, Mr. Morgan; also a new History teacher, Mr. Coons; and a new commercial teacher, = Miss Falk. Early in September we cast aside cares for a hayrack party to Mapleton. We arrived home in the “wee sma’ hours”—nuff said. Then came the Hallowe’en party at Soldwedel’s Bungalow. The spirits and ghosts were surely alive and working that night. The next party we held at the High School. I think this one will be remembered for its “mock wedding.” Then came the good time at Martha Schurman’s home. Hurrah for Martha! The first member of T6 to entertain the class. The good time we had can not be expressed in words. Since this is Leap Year, of course we girls entertained the boys of the class. Where? At the Elks’ Hall on February 11, 1916. To be sure, we called for the boys. No, we didn’t take them home, they took us home. Of course we danced, and we had several very I entertaining games, also. | Well, this is the last party up to the time of writing this. Did someone mention a Junior-Senior party and a Junior Banquet? The Baccalaureate Sermon, graduation exercises will close the history of the largest class that has ever entered P. H. S. and the largest class that has ever departed from it. Hurrah for T6! Farewell, dear teachers. We appreciate your kindness to us through all these years. It is through your never-tiring efforts that we have gained the knowledge that we hope will cause us to bring honor to our school. Adieu, P. H.

I = niiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiii - SITTING before an open fire, laying,plans for the future and building castles of an airy nature, I gradually became aware of a presence at-my side. It beckoned me to follow. I seemed to shrink to nothingness, yet paused a moment before leaving and looked at my late self resting comfortably in a large chair. In a remarkably short time I was seated at a library table on which was a crystal-gazing globe or ball. My companion, an elderly woman, asked if I would like to know what my classmates of 1916 were doing in 1936. I replied that I should be delighted to know. She told me that by concentrating my gaze on the crystal ball on the table before me, pictures of my classmates would emerge. I doubted her word and she explained that crystal-gazing w'as known historically to have survived through classical and medieval times and after the Reformation. In all times and countries, the practice was used for purposes of divination. I thought there would be no harm in trying, so looked into the crystal globe, which immediately took on a milky or misty aspect, then it grew black, reflections disappeared, and then the pictures emerged. I saw colored figures of people in motion, then the ball disappeared from view and I found myself looking at the following panorama: The first scene is in a hospital. An immaculate nurse. Nelda Himmel, is bending tenderly over Ned Fehrman, wbo is groaning in agony. She turns sadly to Frances VVoost and asks, “What happened to your husband to so seriously injure him?” “Oh,” cried Mrs. Fehrman, “a train of thought passed through his brain.’ | Now I see Edwin Breaden strutting through a store. Suddenly, without warning, he reaches over and grabs a handful of candy. But the be-painted, be-ribboned girl only smiles, for is lie not the manager of Wool worths? Beatrice Trainer is fanning herself after her great exertions in Barnum and Bailey’s, where she is noted as the greatest fat lady on earth. In another tent, Willis Cooper and Maude, his wife, are freshening the stripes on the zebras. This gives a wonderful opportunity to display their artistic ability. Now, 1 view the famous New High School, and there in the Latin room sits Helen Sipfle superintending a celebration of the Saturnalia. She has imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY.—Continued. been teaching for a year in the place of Miss Lockett, who has recently married a Californian. At another institution of learning, the University of Hollis, we see Earl Trainer. No, he is not getting a Master’s Degree. He is simply still trying to win the mile run. In startling contrast I see John Aydelott, the noted rag-time artist, disporting himself gayly at the Ivers Pond in the Air Dome. He owns one-sixteenth interest in the theatre, while Alice, his wife, owns the other fifteen. Only shows guaranteed and censored by the Board of Sunday Schools and Christian Endeavors are shown. And here, in another great theatre is shown Georgette Pekill—known to us as Berdine Haake. She is giving a Billie Burke-like interpretation of Lady Macbeth. And there in the audience, sending her petunias and morning glories, is Paul Conaghan. He is visiting in New York to get the latest from Ireland to put in his paper, the “Freie Presse.” Leonard Renfer is a barber and in one corner of the shop Clarissa is established as a manicurist. To you whose minds are not very keen, I explain that in this way she gets to hold his hands. Very satisfactory to both. Donald Velde has a very lucrative position. He is kept so busy that he only has time to read his favorite book, Emerson’s “Compensation,” through twice a month. He is train announcer at Dillon. His daily customers are Margie and her husband. They bring eggs to the “city” market every day. I only faintly remember Margie’s man, but I think he was a freshman in High School when she was a senior. Another couple arrived on their wedding trip several days ago. They were Manilla and John Albers. John says that Manilla proposed to him so many times that at last he accepted out of sheer admiration. Irving Bower is one of the busiest men on the face of the earth. He is taking the rattles out of Fords for the use of babies. Superintending the job is Louise Wilkinson, who is taking a much needed holiday. She travels around the county collecting hair for her switches. Hertha Burg, the speed artist, is stenographer at Kid Heckman’s thirst parlor, the “Sunset.” Business is slack this morning and Mr. Heckman reads in the paper the announcement of the return of Allen’s shows. The feature this year is Howard Brooking, the only red man in captivity.” If truth were told, however, he fell into a barrel of dye while working for Meuhler. Mr. Heckman glances across the street and smiles at Ruth Ep-kens as she stands in the door of her cigar stand. (I forgot to state that the “Sunset” is next door to Gehrig’s cigar store.) Now, as the scene changes, I look into a vast tabernacle. At the piano sits Helen Egger, pounding out “De Brewer’s Big Hosses,” and Miriam Sipfle madly directs the chorus, leading off with her beautiful voice. The sawdust trail is already and waiting. Need I add that Billy Sunday is in the pulpit? And now, I see that John Goar, insurgent in the House of Representatives, is telling his wife, formerly Mary Mott, about his latest wonderful speech. Needless to say, Mary is duly impressed. And he also tells of the sad news that Vera Hallstein has died because of fatty degeneration of the heart. Too bad, but what can you expect when people will not keep themselves below 300 pounds? ifiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiitiiiiil j)iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiu 1 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY.-Condud d. Let us now look at Josephine Hill who is understudying Theda Bara. | How cruel are her eyes, how significant that well known collar of hair! | She is acting in—first I thought it was a “Fatty and Mabel,” but now I 1 see it is “Carmen.” Greba Logan and John Martens are struggling in the wilds of Africa | hunting for the West Pole. John, as a sideline, is hunting big game which 1 Greba cooks for dinner. Today they are having roast sparrows. Walter Preston has a steady job at Konisck’s. He is used as the back-! ground in all the pictures since he got such good training in posing dur-! ing his Senior year when he monopolized the pictures. Bertha Helfenstein is entrancing millions with her interpretative danc-! ing. Her latest interpretation is the Thunder Storm. Martha Schurman 1 is making use of the marvelous amount of German which she accumulated 1 in High School, for she is singing with Caruso in the German opera, “Than- | hauser.” Her success iias been phenomenal, probably in large measure | due to her tall, commanding presence. | Myna Sarflf is marching from one house to another demonstrating the | perfections of “Diana Hair Powder”—guaranteed to make the hair natur-1 ally curly in three minutes. Jessie Huffman leads a rather annoying existence. She is engaged to | William Jansen and has much trouble in keeping him from flirting with I every girl he meets. They are living in their beloved Paris, where Bill de- | signs French costumes for Sarah Bernhardt. He has recently been released | from prison where he was put for murdering a man who dared to sing | “Deutschland uber Alles” in his presence. Paul K. Lohman is the state executioner at Joliet. He gets rid of the 1 prisoners rapidly by means of exquisite torture—making them laugh them-| selves to death. Karl Velde is employed as janitor at the Mission.

In February, 1913. the class of ’17. consisting of fifty members, entered upon their High School career. Surely it was the springtide of their life in this institution. The days were very beautiful as each little bud lifted its head to the light and basked in the reflected glory'of the Faculty, their gardeners. The night before, it had rained and when morning dawned. Spring had come and the landscape was a wonderful verdant green—all, all green, not a streak of yellow to be found. Those green ones disported themselves all through this half lazy, half energetic, wholly interesting season and but two parties broke the routine of the lengthening days. And then one day Spring changed to Summer. The heat eliminated a few from the ranks of ’17. Some died violently of sun-stroke at the beginning of Summer and several Contracted diseases which necessarily made them setfk cooler climes and they went’north to where Spring was just beginning. A party was held at Soldwedel’s bungalow and another at the school. Inspired by the spirit of the season, the latter was a wondrous masquerade party. The days were shortening now and the class felt that it behooved them to make some money tiiat Summer, so a bakery sale was held. It was Autumn—brisk, jolly, breezy, golden Autumn. This season was very, very busy, for in it the play must be given and the pins selected. A party at Julia Maurer’s home firmly welded the two Junior classes together and they set about giving Bachelor Hall,” a play that did credit to these sojourners of Autumn. And now, slowly but surely, the Autumn is passed and Winter has come for this class. The days seem so short to them that they would like to hold them tightly and never let go of them, for the last days of the year are very dear to all who have passed them in Pekin High. They arc filled with jolly comradeship and good cheer, but the best thing about them is the fact that they are not over. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIII Senior Irene Joerger, ’17. ; 3 ’Tis rather hard just to explain How wondrous is the Senior’s brain; And words are useless in the case Of telling of his noble face.

Miss Duerkop EXTRACTS FROM A JUNIOR’S DIARY. Information Furnished by Dorothy Martin. September 11, 1913: Hooray! At last I have the chance to use my Diary all specially made for High School “diddings.” I am one-fourth of the Freshman Class. I managed to survive the day. but I had bad luck the second period. I’d just get settled in one scat when some Soph would come along and grin me out. I mistook Ray Brisendine for a teacher, but nobody shall ever know that. December 13. 1913: All we Freshies were kindly requested to meet in the Assembly Room ai four today. Our motto is, “Never Despair.” Nice one. ain’t it? Navy and gold are our class colors and the chrysanthemum is our class flower. 1 don’t imagine we’ll use it very often. It’s too expensive. Funny how a fellow’s heart goes bump, bump, when he gets up to say Mr. President” and nominate somebody. September 12, 1914: After the long vacation, come we “quarry slaves to our dungeon,” but rejoice, ye stars and moons! for we are Sophs and we sit in the Assembly Room! My! how little the Freshmen are! September 27. 1914: Class election tonight and Irene is President. Novebcr 1, 1914: I’m mighty sleepy, but I must tell you, little Rook, that 1 have been to a class Hallowe’en party. W’c were awfully still at first, but some of the boys bravely came over and talked to the girls, and crash! bang! wint the ice. February 13, 1915: ’Nother party! This time a Valentine party. September 24, 1915: Class meeting tonight. My, I feel dignified to be President of such a peachy bunch. But really, little Book, I feel the responsibility now of helping our class gain its aim—to defend the Red and White and to try to do as much for it as it has done for us to make a record for the school and for the navy and gold, of which both can lie proud. October 29, 1915: Gee! I just looked into the glass and discovered that my cheeks were red! We had a party at Julia Maurer’s and it was surely some party. People were required to very interesting things to regain their forfeits. I wonder if Miss Fleming enjoyed her tete-e-tete? November 3. 1915: Miss Duerkop delivered a lecture to the girls. January 13, 1915: Such a success! Our play. Bachelor Hall,” was given. I held my breath for fear something would happen to spoil it. This was the most marked event of all our High School career and no Junior will ever forget it. Ho-hum! I am so sleepy, I hope morning is a few hours later than usual. atiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiMiiMiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiif .............ill...mil..................................................................................................................................................................................................................... min ini .....mm...........

Miss Boyd THE CLASS Gertrude Derrick, ’17. One chilly morning in February, 191.3, sixty-four green little Freshies trooped up the stairs of the old Pekin High School with throbbing hearts. How grand it was to lie in High School! How big the Assembly was, but not big enough to keep those mean Seniors from walking on an innocent Freshman! How dreadful it was to find one’s self in a beehive of Seniors instead of a quiet fold of Freshmen! As Miss Boyd seemed to take” with the newcomers, she was elected class adviser. Richard Allyn was so popular that lie was made President of the class. During Mr. Allyn’s administration, a candy sale, which raised the amount in the treasury from nothing to thirteen dollars, was held. Mr. Allyn made a splendid leader, but in the Sophomore Class the Suffragettes rallied and elected Mary Fitzgerald President. The members of the class had a circus” at a masquerade party February 28, 1914. Such costumes! Everybody, from a fool to an old maid, was there. Walter Myers, who was the handsomest girl at the party, received prize. In the county meets the class of 1918 has won several honors that it is justly proud of. Owing to the unusual intellectual abilities of The Class,” it has always been a favorite of the teachers—so it firmly believes! The ingenuity and originality of the members were certainly exhibited at the Juniors’ “side show” in tiie school carnival of 1916. Its numbers have diminished one-half and only time can tell how many of “The Class” of 1918 will be present at that glorious of glorious events —Graduation. 23534823232348484823534848484823534823482348532323322348234853484853234848484823235348484823235353234823235353484823535353482323534823010000534823535348 0101020123534802010000010101010101010202024848530100010000024853020002530101020202020101020002484848484801010223532323235300000023235302020201020201010002015302010100000100022323538923005353234823024801534823482323020102010002010102010201014801020248 .......................mi.................IIIIIIIIIII...........lllll.....IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiii .........................................................................................................................................Illlllllllllllllllllllll ......................................................... 1111111111! 1111111111 !I| q pA j3£ ssincrj 3I5lu!M BJouBajg Pl°fPN M13UU3M slUB!II!M soduimj J3X3J JSJJEyW j o [ s i q V 1n,!N i)olIII n'M P3JJ UOSlEyW E[)UE, S3UUEl{Of U1AJEJY ajiuqjBjW uouij3 i|S|iuo]j osmo'j LllUirlJS 3U3JJ .iscpqpiuuuj Euuy gjiqDSOg U3J3J-J [3UUEH lP-Plni I J3SUIUU3S 3DU3JO|J pjBJSgzjij XlEJY J3([3i.aps 3UEpj J3tpi[ll[VJ XlEJ jsny spiBppy ja33;q u3jje, J3ddj}{ 3ii3jj U3P3 3UEJY 3ll|jnD 113 [3 J J ipijpiQ J3)1E 11EJJ ssmoq 3JDUJ3Q 3piUJJ3f) ZUEJJ lUJOf UO}3j3.ig 3JIE[3 3IJJ3J EJPJOQ UEtiqog p jpiqv 13 JJEJ 3UU3l[}EAJ suiEqEjqy B3qjcuoQ a HoiNnf Z}3UlU[3}g mp.f l3P3MpiOS [J®3 UUJEJY XipOJOQ qmug S3uSy i(3Eqj3jnEq EqjiEj J3p3[l[Dg E}U1E z)mi|{) uopjq UI JUE f C3[JB| [ SUEA3 igng J3S3BJNJ Eipuiy J3AJE3 Ejpnq 3in [ ejoq ouipuAsug ap IO J3gj30f OU3J J . 3l|E51 Al|}OJO(J «oqpioN IUE!H!A UiCnv piEqopj td n°y joiunf nllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiililllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllin ...............................................................................................................................................................................IIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIMIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlliniMllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIHIlllllHIlHMMMHIIIMMIIlllWMIlMIIMHIMIII .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................... mins yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiii mi iiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiii 111 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiui ilium iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii : Sophomore A.

When I looked out of a window I saw that the sky was lighted up as by a large fire. As I hurried toward the fire I saw that it was the old High School. As I stood watching the building burn I thought of my first two years in High School. When the class of 1918 entered High School in September, 1914, we numbered about seventy-five. The second week we elected our class officers and adviser, and chose our class colors. In October we held our first class party. We did not arrive home until late, but all bad a very good time. In February we held a party in the High School, which was now wrapped in flames. As I watched, the flames leaped from the Assembly Room, into which we had entered at the beginning of our second year. We had to elect a new class adviser because Miss Thorne, our Freshman adviser, had resigned. In October we held a hayrack party, our destination being Ayde-lott’s cottage. We all had a very enjoyable time, arriving borne at an early hour. In February we enjoyed a party at the home of Margaret Schurman. In the same month we gave Borrowing Trouble,” a one-act comedy, in the High School Carnival. Every show was crowded and we cleared a larger amount than any of the other classes. Just then I heard the large bell in the tower ring. Then I woke up and found myself in the Assembly. I had gone to sleep and as it was a warm day I imagined I was near a fire and when the period bell rang I thought it was the school bell. I went to my classes wondering what would be the history of the Class of 1918 in their last two years in High School.

January 25, 1915. witli all the fears common to “Freshies.” After registering upon the renowned hooks of the old school, we hastened to the hook stores to purchase the mysterious articles which, we thought, would instill into our oaken heads and awkward bodies the marvelous knowledge and grace of I the High School students. After becoming somewhat accustomed to our daily routine. Mr. True called us togetheT in the Assembly Room. After explaining the rules and customs to us, he called for nominations for a President of our goodly horde. Walter L. Velde being elected President, Mr. True left the room, and we resumed the election of the other officers. After several delays and discussions, Robert Gehrig was elected Vice President; Howard Smith, Secretary; Julia Hclniig. Treasurer, and Miss Anderson, Class Teacher. O11 the evening of April 9th, the class gave a Hard Time party at the High School. Games, followed by refreshments, occupied the greater part ot the evening. 1 lie party then disbanded and most of the hardtimers departed. The committee, however, remained and with the help of Miss Anderson, Mr. True and a few patriots, washed the dishes—also finished the ice cream! I he semester ended with but few failures in our ranks. The second semester of 1915 opened with our ranks somewhat diminished, but with interest at high tide. At the initial business meeting, W alter ’elde and Julia Helmig were reelected President and Treasurer, respectively. Nellie Rees was elected Vice President, and Mary Quenon, Secretary. Parties were somewhat neglected this semester, probably because of “work before play.” The one event of the semester was a hike to Bailey’s Lake during the latter part of October. If studies do not “interfere” no doubt the class will atone for this deficiency in the future.

And it came to pass in the days when the number of Pekinitcs was very great, that a new tribe, the Freshmanitcs, was added unto them. And these forty pitched their tents with us in the wilderness. And thus they entered upon their journey unto the “Promised Land. W hen they were oppressed by diverse patriarchs of the neighboring tribes, they did battle bravely with them many times. As they took their journey on to the “Promised Land, behold! as the dew lay round about the host, the Freshmanitcs beheld on nice, white cards, some small round things (0). And when the Freshmanitcs saw them they wist not what they were, for they had never before beheld them. And the evening and the morning were the last day of the quarter. And it came to pass that the Chief Priest called all the cangregation of the Freshfnanites together, and said unto them, “These are the words which I have commanded that ye should do them. Thou shalt choose rulers among you, to govern your tribe, and a patriarch to govern the rulers. After he had departed they chose Harry Martens as Chief Ruler, and Miss Burwash as Patriarch. Alter this a covenant was made by them, to be true to the standard of purple and gold. I hey afterwards said, “Consider the chrysanthemums of the field; they toil not, neither do they spin, in that they are like unto us, let us choose them for our flower.” ith clashing of cymbals, and the twang of the harp, the tribe of Freshmanitcs sojourned a little aside from their pilgrimage, that they might spend the evening in merrymaking at SoldwedePs bungalow. The evening and the morning were the last day of the first semester. And it came to pass after many days had passed that the congregation of the Freshmanitcs was called upon to make ready for a great celebration. •• Day followed day and night followed night and the patriarchs and elders of the people planned many things. And one day a little after the twelfth hour all the children of the Pekinitcs were gathered together at the tabernacle lor the Feast of the Passover of the Nickels and Dimes. 1 he tribe ol the Freshmanitcs made a table of shettim wood and two cubits was the length thereof, and on it they placed golden vessels containing candy, ice cream and gum. And the other pilgrims came and ate and went away satisfied. After that did the tribe travel on until the Chief Priest said unto them: ou have gone one-fourth of the way to the “Promised Land, rest here and refresh yourselves. And the evening and the morning were the last day of the year.

A new regiment has come to camp today, sixty-six | in number. They have been in training for eight long years and appear | to be ready for the Hattie of their lives, but things are not going exactly 1 as they should, for some of the youngsters have emerged from the first 1 day’s scrimmage with very little color in their faces. And, sec, the regiment | is gathering at the sound of taps, around one soldier who has so far varied | from the regulation uniform as to wear long trousers! At dawn the next day the troopers are on hand with their newly pur- | chased implements of warfare. These they are not so very skilled in using, | sad to relate, and at the end of the quarter some are rather badly wounded. | Most of them recover, however, but they early discover that the former | engagements with the enemy were simply skirmishes. Such rigorous drill- § ing as the stern-eyed officers put them through! Such discipline as Com- 1 mander-in-Chief Morgan insists upon. Major-General Ruhaak even de- § crees that at the last note of the reveilfe every soldier shall be in his place. § This regiment soon holds a meeting in which James Jansen is elected | Colonel, and Major General Lockett, chosen as their own special member | of the staff. This organization is necessary because the army is planning | a carnival. A small company with James Jansen as captain is ordered to | make arrangements for this regiment stunt. This stunt proved very enjoy- | able and profitable and the regiment shouldered arms and stepped forward § joyously to conquer some more of their enemy. ...James Jansen ..Julia Scrimger Marjorie Schrock William Aydelott ...Miss Lockett Top Kow -Brooks Watson.

Freshman came to the time when he must start on the journey which all Freshmen must take at the end of the year. He must journey from the country of Everyday-tilings to the land of Unusual-occurrences. He took the first road from his home and thus found himself walking along the Road of Last—minute-cramming where he met an old, old man named Headache. I he Lent and twisted body and pain-wrinkled face were not pleasant to look upon and Freshman became restless at the vice-like grip of his fingers. Freshman wrenched himself loose and turned into the City of Examinations. He went happily along the street of Things-well-learned and was surprised to notice many of his classmates. Some, alas, were missing, but these he met when he entered the Street of Things-half-forgotten. Here Freshman became weary of his journey. He wanted tp go home, for he was afraid of what might await him at that sharp turn of the road just ahead. “Go on,” urged the welcome voice of Hope, the scenery is perfectly beautiful over there.” Farther on he came to several great obstacles of Qucstions-not-expected. Somehow, the lad managed to crawl over, under, or through them. The journey was nearly over. There was just one gate to pass through now and then he could be happy for another year. But the gate—-why wouldn’t it open! He could neither squeeze through the bars nor climb over them. There remained but one thing possible. He must unlock it. and he had no key to fit the massive lock. He had some little keys like Half-way-preparation and Lessons-nearly-learned. but no huge key of Knowledge. Just then a girl came up fairly dragging a key. She managed to open the gate. There.” cried a voice at his elbow, “go in with her key since you’ve lost yours. No one will see us, come on!” Freshman looked into the sneaky, glittering eyes of Cheat and the gate swung wide. The two rushed forward. Freshman suddenly stopped, turned away. The gate clanged shut. The lad looked at Honesty who had been keeping fast hold of his arm and lugging with all her might to keep him back. She smiled the happiest smile and introduced two of her friends. Work spoke quickly to the panting boy, “Ah, Freshman, come. Self-respect and I would like to be friends with you! Let’s go to the garden shop of Earnest Study where we can find the key. We will take a little longer route and there, I promise you, you will find Happiness, there at the End of the Tourney. ■iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimniiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... mini..... : IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIHII A Senior’s Dream. Beatrice Trainer. TT WAS the night before examinations and I was very earnestly trying i to “cram” all of a year’s work into my poor head for the next day’s ter- | rihle ordeal. Before me on the table lay my books—English. Geometry. | History and Latin. It was hard for me to settle my mind on any one sub- | ject, for always before me was the question, ‘‘To flunk or not to flunk?” The question mark seemed to dance all over the page and I saw all sorts of wild grades which 1 was expecting on the morrow, and I. firmly believing that the cramming of today is the headache of tomorrow,” closed my book and sat blinking at the question that would not leave me. The night was nearing the witching hour of twelve and my eyes began to teel heavy. The staring question before me grew blacker and blacker, and finally my aching head dropped on the table. Suddenly something startled me and I sat erect in my chair. The room was filled with people, some strange and some. alas, were too familiar for my comfort. Leading the line, with head erect, her face proud and haughty, came Miss Ruhaak. followed by a host of strange shaped monsters, made up of angles of all shapes and sizes. She came straight up to me and said in a voice full of scorn: Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” and she passed on. while the angles, planes, cylinders, etc., came by, each quoting theorems to me that I strove to remember, but failed. Last came six little cylinders carrying the devil’s coffin,” which stopped in front of me and the devil himself popped up, and pointing at me, said: Bluffing is akin to flunking,” and popped down again. With a sigh of relief I saw them pass away in a cloud of chalk dust, only to be replaced by another hideous creature. Miss Lockett passed by, commanding me not to put my trust in ponies.” Following her came Miss Falk, with her long finger pointed at me and with a look that froze my blood, she said: Five per cent, off for erasing, and, young lady, how many times have I told you not to talk in the typewriting room? Beware, ere you flunk,” and, with a meaning smile, she passed on and Mr. Allison and his friends came into view. He bade me notice his friends and immediately I recognized Mr Allison’s friends (thank goodness they are not mine). First came “Silas Marner, with lips shut tightly and his small, squinty eyes pushed back into his head. He smiled a smile of revenge and said he would get even with me tomorrow, and passed on. Following him came “Rosalind” leaning on the arm of Orlando,” and last, but not least, the mighty “Sir Roger De Coverly.” Close on their stealthy steps came Mr. Coons riding in a gilded chariot drawn by maps, with history hooks for footmen. The chariot stopped while Mr. Coons whispered softly in my ear: Have something to say; say it, and stop talking.” All too well I knew what he meant and a tear of regret stole down my burning cheek. Other forms followed—slender Greeks, broad-shouldered Romans, dark Asiatics, and blue-eyed Goths. Through my dim room they passed—the mighty spirits of the ancient world. As this last train went by, I hurriedly went to bed fearing Mr. Morgan 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiii?. |iiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin, mu,in, n, |, ii„hiiiimiiiiii,i, 1111111,11, i, i, mu,i m, iiiininiii, i, niiiiiin iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiin § = 'SEXOJ UI SUlEJUtlOlU OU 9JB 3J3qX JOJ ‘lJBM J° 3u n snonyjadns oq l •jodoo3 s!ll!A J° sauuqj jejo oqj, “H Kijjjay jo ssaui-dti-jno snojEojdn oqx ‘sjpjEg XqjojOQ jo SMcf [BDupumiXs XqnjijBoq oq x ‘ A asinog jo ssouqjuiES oqx ‘d J- }IBA J° ooioa ounj-oqj-uo ‘uopjoS ‘snouojS oqx ‘ I InB I J° uoijBjopB s(-ioqoEoj oqx ‘Xbjv siog jo ooioa sjqipne XpojEOs oqx ‘‘V uqof jo sooi jou jood oqx ‘u;q«cg Xojjbh J° H|H;oq jbsso|oo oqx ‘buijo i jo ssouqooiu oqx ‘P3N jo SSOUijuiBp oqi[-Xj;uj oqx :oje ‘sbxox jo suiEjunoui oqj oqig •0 I' 'S SUOlJBUjUIBXO JO lUBJJS |EJUOUl Oqj pilE SJOipBOJ Ol|J JO l|JEJA OUIES oqi OSjOpUU OJ SEl| OUllf PUB UOIJEUpBaj) JOJ sSuoj OIJAA |UOS Jood XjOAO ji pojopuoAA j piiE ‘sSuuopuBM X[jqSiu jpqj ui pojBoddE Xoqj sb jsoj oqj |jb puB ‘qsqSug ‘Xjjoiuoo )—soipnjs Xiu jo uiEOjp oqj oj qoEq poujnj sjqSnoqj Alll ‘SUOIJBUIU1BXO XlU JOAO iillippO|d X|l JBOAA JES ] SB ‘XEp JXOU Ot|J jjy ,,'quuy oj jou ao quuy oj „ ‘juboui j| joqjoq.w jo ‘uoiuo puq jo pooiJ b sba uoisiA siqj J.iqjoq.w Suiqujqj Ulaq j poq ui XpjES se.vi j jojjy '}uoo jod ££ oj poddojp pEq ji XqA puB juoiujjodop Xiu jo om puiuioj puB Xq ouioo jqSuu ■p PnPuoD—'JW3MCI S.MOIN3S V iiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiimiMiiiiiiiiHiimiiiimiimmiii ...............................11111111.1111111....................mini an millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIMIIIIIMIMIIIIIIIMIIIIII Overslept. Gertrude Derrick, ’17. “Dear me! I do wonder what time it is!” exclaimed Winifred Wyatt, 1 popping her curly head out of bed one icy, wintry morning. bile the | folks are gone, how in the world should Walter and I get to school if it 1 were eight o’clock?” Winifred jumped quickly out of bed, ran into her brother’s room, and stared at the alarm clock. But what was the matter with it? It was too I light out of doors to be only five o’clock! Why, the crazy thing bad stopped I and it must be at least------. W’inifred ran down stairs three steps at a I time, and, going to the telephone, excitedly asked the time. “Eight-thirty-five.” replied central sweetly. “My land! Thank you!” ejaculated Winifred, dropping the receiver 1 into its holder. Frantically she jerked on her school dress without even 1 stopping to bathe her face. She called Walter, but he refused to attend to 1 the fire, so sister had to do her lazy brother’s work. Then the two flew 1 about angrily, bumping into each other, knocking things over in their 1 flurry, Winifred’s hair flying wildly, and Walter’s coat-tail flapping up and | down every step he took. “Oh! I just know 1 won’t have time to eat any breakfast—all your fault, | too. Oh! I’m so hungry!” whined Winifred. Well, serves you right. Pig! “Keep still, you mean thing! Oh, yes, that’s right. Go on ta school an I let me be late, 'Mother’s Angel Child.’” W’inifred flung at him as he went out of the door. “Wish I wuz a boy. Goodness! M yhair!” She rushed out of the door and galloped down the street like a race horse. “The last bell and three more blocks to go!” panted the girl. “Two blocks, one block—on the grounds at last—if only I can get into the assembly before—” Ding!” The sonorous bell tolled the fate of the frightened girl—she 1 was tardy. After she had secured an admittance slip and a polite scolding from the austere principal, poor, belated W’inifred went to her first recitation. Everybody snickered. But it was no wonder. Part of her hail was braided and those strands which she had missed were dangling around a face that bad two long soot marks across it; her waist was on wrong side out; a large rent was in her skirt; one of her shoes was unbuttoned and her eyes looked 1 as if she had “overslept.” IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllll....Illllllllllllllll....I......Illllll.....IHUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHI...........................IIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII......I?. |IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|||H|||||||||II!IIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIII:IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|||||||||c The Dance. Walter Preston. S WE drove into the lane we saw and heard that which can never he | v forgotten. There before us was a company of simple country folk 1 gathered for a merry time. As we drove along through the trees we 1 passed shadowy forms of horses and buggies standing silently and deserted | in the dark shadows of the woods around the lighted portion. As I looked 1 upon that scene I could not but admire and wish that I could enter it with 1 the spirit which seemed to possess them. It was suggestive of the back- 1 wood days, the days of romance of the American pioneers. Within the lighted portion was a platform upon which burly country | lads danced to age-old tunes played by two half-drunken musicians seated 1 upon an up-turned wagon box at one side of the platform. These two pio- I neers of the art sawed with ferocious glee upon their shrieking instruments. 1 Their heads, feet and mouths were moving in unison with the time of the 1 music. It is almost impossible to describe or imitate the movements of | these two individuals. Behind these two stood another person of prominence—the caller. | This individual bawled out in a singsong tone the same calls that our grand- 1 fathers had loved so much to hear. The dancers obeyed his commands 1 without a misstep. To use the words of Harold Bell Wright, “the callers 1 shouted, the dancers stamped and bowed and swung their partners as they 1 sang.” Between the calls, the jolly laughter and shouts of the merrymakers 1 could be heard. Hanging from the limb of a tree and lighting the whole scene was a 1 solitary lamp which seemed to flicker and dance in imitation of the jolly crew. Around the platform, leaning against trees, stood bashful lads who I watched the dancers with open mouths and bulging eyes, each resolving 1 within himself that at the close of the dance he would join his dancing com- I panions. Suddenly the music ceased. The dancers stopped and the buzz of talk | went around. An important fellow walked around yelling, “Fill up the floor. Get your | partners for a quadrille. Two more couples and the dance goes on!” The | fiddlers took a fresh chew, then rasped away on their fiddles for several minutes, then began a lively tune. The caller shouted and the dancers joined hands and danced in a circle to the left. Then they separated and went around in peculiar circles, sometimes dancing with their own partner and sometimes with another. Thus it continued until the caller called “Promenade!” Then they all waltzed back to their former positions and that dance was ended. Now I heard a loud voice and looking back among the trees I saw the shadowy forms of men. A drunken laugh came out followed by a fierce oath. A fight was on. A beer bottle crashed against a tree beside me. The fiddlers stopped and everybody ran around in confusion. Now the mad oaths and curses of the fighters could be heard.

An Orig inal Conception of {he Universe. John Aydclott. ONK day as I was walking slowly homeward down Broadway Street, 1 happened to fall in with a little foreigner. He seemed more intelligent than the average Italian youngster, and. judging by his general appearance, I thought that his parents were rather well to do and fairly well educated. Meeting an attractive little dago” was such a novelty that I thought I would kill some of my superabundant time and so I entered into conversation with him. After the preliminary questions concerning his age, name, grade in school, etc., somehow or other we began discussing the world, lie seemed to have some rather interesting ideas so I pretended ignorance and had him explain the workings of the universe to me. He had been told that the earth was like a ball. It seems that the only Hall with which he was familiar was the hollow rubber kind, and so he had built up all his ideas concerning the world with this kind of a ball in mind. He had used a ball of this kind for a squirt gun by filling it with water. He imagined that the world was a ball of this kind about half full of water. T he entire interior of the ball was painted blue. This paint gave the blue color to the sky and to the water. The land floated in the water which was the ocean. Lakes were merely holes in the land. In his estimation, to sail around the world meant simply to travel around this piece of floating land. He had probably been told that if he dug deep enough he would reach water, and he thought that when he did he would have dug through the earth One side of the ball was filled with innumerable small holes and the other side had one large hole. Light shining through these holes from the outside made the stars and the sun. As the earth turned around (lie had been told that the earth revolved) to make night and day, the water always stayed in the bottom half so that the land was always level. I asked him why the water didn’t run out when the holes were downward and he replied that they were covered with glass which let the light in but didn’t let the water out. He seemed to have explained all natural phenomena to his own satisfaction and also to have worked in all that others had told him. I tried my best to show him his mistakes, but his convictions were sure and could not be altered. 1 thought that there was little use to bother with him because when lie went to school the teacher could tell him much better than I. and so, as our ways parted, I said goodbye to him and have not seen him since. You must agree, however, that his ideas were original, at least.

Two Small Bo )s, one of whom has a large, red Apple. Helen Sipflc. Pete: “Hi, yuh, Skinney. Yoo-hoo. Come on over a minute.” Skinney: “Gee, I run! Did you see me? I tried to run a race with that there little dog of mine, but the ice in our yard was so awfully slippery, 1 nearly fell and busted my bean. Here, Tigc, don’t you go away, I’m a-going to give you some of this apple when I eat it.” Pete: “Does your dog like apples?” Skinney: “You bet lie docs. Did you ever see a dog that didn’t? Why, lie’ll eat anything 1 give him. Some apple, eh?” Pete: “Where did you get it?” Skinney: Found it growin’ on a cherry tree, where do you suppose?” Pete: Now looky here, you get smart Elisha Lightbody and I’ll take | a big bite of your old apple.” Skinney: I’d like to see you. I ain’t had no apple as juicy-lookin’ as this fur a long while, and I’m going to eat it all by myself, so there.” Pete: Why do some apples have such red cheeks? My ma says that’s where the Sun kissed them.” Skinney: Your ma don’t know nothing about it. She never saw him do it. Why, this here apple come from—from—now what-do-you-call-it?” Pete: Search me if I know. But listen, I had one onc’t that come 1 from South America.” Skinney: “Where is South America?” Pete: Don’t you know? Teacher, she told me we all live in America, and that in the winter the fruit comes from the southern part of the country. That’s just the very words she used, so I say from South America, ’cause its shorter.” Skinney: “Well, this apple never come from there. It come from Germany near where all the fighting’s going on. When I get big I’m going over there and help ’em fight.” Pete: “Gee, that apple looks good. Wish I was you, Skinney.” Skinney: Do you? Why?” Pete: O, jist because; then I’d have the big red apple, but I'd give you some of it. How docs it taste?” Skinney: “Juicy hambone!” Pete: “Skinney, 1 jist think you’re the nicest boy I know. Let’s me and you be pals together tin whenever I git something nice I’ll give you some, and when you git something nice you give me some. What do you say?” Skinney: That would be fun when you had something 1 wanted. Come on, Pm in for it.” Pete: “Your apple looks like its sweet, is it?” Skinney: You bet it is, don’t it sound like it?” Pete: Skinney, I’m going to give you two of my 'nibs’ tomorrow. Gee, I wish I had an apple.” Skinney: Say. Pete. Would you like a bite of mine? Pitch in, kid, I remember I’m your pal now.” ................................................. hi........................................... min......

A LTHOTJGH Mr. True was not present to start the orchestra at the | X beginning of the year, nevertheless the members of last year’s orches- | tra met in October and banded together for another year. Miss Helen | Egger was secured as pianist and the work started under Mr. Webster as I leader. Practices were held after school instead of in the evenings. The I first engagement filled was at the Parent-Teachers’ Association at the Gar- 1 field School. Next, the orchestra played for two evenings at the Junior | Class play. In February, at the opening of a new semester, several fine musicians | entered the organization from the new Freshman class, and with these 1 new ones there is no reason why the orchestra cannot become a very good 1 one next year in the new High School, although it has met with many dis- | appointments and discouragements this year and although four from the 1 Senior Class will leave its ranks. The following are the members of the Pekin High School Orchestra: I First violin, Luella Carver, Nelda Himmel. William Aydelott, Ernest | Aydelott, Ray Schwartz, Carl Emmerling; second violin, Bruce Crosby, Roy | Hendrichs; first clarinet, Winifred Himmel; second clarinet, Rudolph Poe- | bcl; flute, John Albers, Karl Velde; piano, Helen Egger; first cornet, Francis 1 Poebel; second cornet, Roland Poebel. OUR FACULTY “F” is for faculty Wise as can be, A” is their ardor Backsliders to see. “C” is for candid. Opinions, you know. ’U” for “U” fail. In class so-and-so. “L” is for laughter, They seldom include. “T” for the times When pupils are rude. “Y” is for you. Gentle reader, to say “O! but to see That faculty gay.” HELEN EGGER. rillllllllllllllllilltllllllllllllllltltlllMlltllinitllllllllllllltlltl(llllltlllllllllllllMllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIMIIIIIItlllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMflllNlllllllllltlMIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIi = I s I = = I TKe Boys’ AtKletic Association. By John Goar. Officers. Walter B. Preston.............................President John M. Goar.............................Vice President Paul K. Lohmann...............................Secretary Edwin D. Fehrtnan.............................Treasurer The Boys’ Athletic Association, since its organization in the Pekin High School, has been one of the strongest and most important factors of our school. Although many enthusiastic and loyal members are lost each year b}' graduation, there remains some just as loyal to take up the work. The purpose of this Association is to stimulate a spirit of school loyalty and to bring each member into close relation with what is being accomplished in athletics. Because of the untiring efforts of the officers, our society has also shown much progress in inducing the younger members to aid the school in athletics. Meetings are held at least once every four weeks. On all subjects proposed at these meetings each one present may express his opinions. This also credits our Association with aiding in extemporaneous speaking. The Athletic Board, which consists of the principal, the coach, one other male member of the faculty, and one member of the Junior and one member of the Senior Classes, controls the finances of all our athletics, such as football, basketball and expenses of our track team. Baseball was talked of in March and a manager elected, but because it interfered with track work, it was concluded to drop the subject for this year, | The boys of the Class of T6 shall always remember and encourage the B. A. A., and they leave their best wishes for its success. r'................... I 11 .................................................................. in.......min.......Hum,,,,......

But every move of his is watched by Pinker-§ ton Case, an aspiring young Sherlock, who is ever “on his track.” Meanwhile the Deacons Jervis and Bassett, of Rambletown, constitu-§ ents of Myrtleton, arrive unexpectedly. They come to learn how Myrtleton 1 had invested for the church of Rambletown, the $100,000 which they had given him. Jasper, the faithful old butler, thinks they are reporters in dis-! guise and tries to bar them from the house. After much parleying they are | admitted, but Myrtleton is unable to find the bonds. He makes various | excuses and tells many unpardonable lies about the preparations for the play, because the deacons would have been scandalized and their ears | would have fairly tingled had they known that a theatrical performnee was | in progress. In doing so many laughable situations arise. During all this time Case is shadowing Jack, whom he thinks is an ac-| complice of Deacon Bassett, and has the missing bonds which Myrtleton is frantically trying to find. Jack, meanwhile, is having the time of his life, 1 gathering material for the newspaper. It is printed next morning in a 1 very sensational manner, much to the angry astonishment of Myrtleton, 1 who has now lost his wager with March. After a very entangled affair during which Case is taken to the police I station, the bonds are found in his possession and everything ends satis-| factorily. Miss Fleming coached the play very successfully and her untiring ef-I forts to make the play a success will never be forgotten by the Junior Class. Eigensinn.

The purpose of the stunt was to raise money to pay for a baloptican machine which is a stereoptican machine especially adapted for school use. An admission fee to the building of ten cents was charged and the fee to the shows was either three or five cents. The differ-§ ent classes staged various stunts which were held in recitation rooms. Upon entering the building one beheld a noise which would be a close rival to any “real live” carnival. Chief of the noise makers was the Senior Six Piece Band. Leather lunged barkers were stationed before the various shows and the whole thing had a “carnivally” flavor. Flashily dressed “carnivalitcs” dashed hither and thither among the crowds, while frantic | class teachers rushed about searching for the missing performers who were wanted to display their stage finery before the eyes of the public. Such was the confusion which it must be said was enjoyed no less by the performers than by the public. The shows given consisted of the following: “His Old Sweethearts,” a playlet given by the beginning Juniors; “Borrowing Trouble,” a playlet I given by the advanced Sophomores; “Animated Hyptigiddies,” a study in living advertising pictures, given by the advanced Juniors; “The Ladies’ Home Journal,” given by the beginning Seniors (this show may be classified as X, an unknown quantity, as the rocks were hit early in the course of the evening. N. B. Loss partly covered by insurance); the “Japanese Tea Garden,” a tea parlor run by the beginning Freshmen; the “Merry Go Round,” a device on roller skates and propelled by human steam, run by the beginning Sophomores; a refreshment stand run by the advanced Freshmen; “The Dancing Girls,” given by the Girls’ Physical Culture class; the Candy Stand, run by the G. A. A.; and, last but not least, the advanced Senior show, consisting of a playlet, “Colonel Gord and His Peace Ship,” a | quartet and the Cathedral choir. The money cleared by the entire Carnival was nearly one hundred and fifty dollars, which was much more than was needed or even expected. The idea of having a Carnival to raise money is a good one and it would be well to make it an annual affair, with the proceeds going to some worthy cause.

That the Alumni of P. H. S. are loyal is a statement of truth. Football, the Junior Class play, the Carnival and the County Meet all brought out many Alumni and their support has never faltered. Our friends, our acquaintances of our dear old High School days are soon gone from us after graduation, and as the thoughts and memories of the good old days come hack and we see ourselves among our classmates, we wonder what has become of them and what they are doing. In getting out this Pekinian, we have considered this fact and have made a record of all the persons who have graduated since 1913, and stated in a few words after the name of each that you may get a pretty good idea what each is doing. We hope this will be continued in the future, as we would like to read about our classmates after we have graduated. ATTENDING SCHOOL.

Football. Shortly after the opening of school in September, Coach Wyatt issued his first call for football candidates and about twenty promising candidates turned out for practice. Of this number two “P” men, Fehrman and Allyn, the only ones in school, turned out. John Stcinmetz was elected captain of the team by the “P” wearers, according to the custom in Pekin High School. After about a month’s hard work under the careful and faithful supervision of Coach Wyatt and Captain Steinmetz, we had a team that even surprised old football men by its speed and teamwork. October 2nd, the fast Normal scpiad came here with the intention of walloping Pekin, but to their dismay, when the final whistle blew Pekin was on the top end of a 20 to 13 score. The speedy onslaughts of the Pekin back field, combined with the numerous spectacular plays proved too much for the Normal eleven. The feature of this game was an end run of sixty yards by Preston for a touchdown. In this play lie had the most perfect i interference ever seen in a game here. On October 9th the team journeyed to Bloomington and met Bloomington at Wilder field. Owing to very poor officiating, in which everything was in favor of the Bloomington team, to the inexperience of our front line compared with theirs and to the loss of Fehrman through injury, we I were forced to acknowledge a 37-0 defeat. The next week, with a stone wall front line and a lightning back field, we met El Paso on our home grounds and completely outclassed them in every particular of the game. Not once did they have the slightest chance of scoring. When the whistle blew at the end of the fourth (piarter the home boys had won by the overwhelming score of 54 to 0. After a two weeks’ rest, we met Lewiston on our home grounds and were defeated by the score of 19-0. Lewiston had a heavier and somewhat faster team than ours and the manner in which they handled the forward pass completely bewildered our backs and ends. The game played a week following between Bloomington and Pekin at Pekin will long be remembered by the members of the team and the rooters. Both teams fought like tigers. The Pekin boys had nothing more in mind than revenge for their 37-0 defeat at the hands of Bloomington earlier in the season and when the game had ended they had gained their purpose for they had won by the close score of 16-14. One play in this game that will be remembered by all was the kicking of a field goal from the forty-yard line by Albers. Another incident that really won the game was Le Gault’s falling on a fumbled ball on Bloomnigton’s two-yard line during the last few minutes to play. After two plays it was carried over 1 the goal for the final score of the game. On November 13th, a week following the Bloomington game, the team journeyed to Lewiston for a return game. Owing to injuries incurred in this game by several of the most dependable men of the team, P. H. S. was forced to acknowledge a second defeat at the hands of the somewhat heavier Lewistonitcs. A game was scheduled for November 30th with Eureka, but this game was cancelled by them, so the team remained idle. This closed the scheduled season of 1915. A few days later the Alumni offered to play the High School and give all of the gate receipts to the school athletic treasury. This game was cheer- SiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiS iiiiiiiiiiniiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiitiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii FOOTBALL.—Concluded fully accepted and was played the next Saturday at the I.-M. park. The Alumni were much heavier than the High School team, but lacked unity in playing. Although with this handicap the Alumni managed to win by battering the P. H. S. lighter front line. The game ended with the score standing 7-0. It is hoped that the Alumni game may he made an annual affair and that all games will be as successful as the game played this year. We all hope that Capt.-elect Le Gault may have still better success in 1916 with his warriors of the Red and White than the team of 1915 experienced. PLAYERS. Years on 1. Steinmetz—“Mandy” .. Pos. F.

Basketball, a comparatively new athletic game in Pekin High School was taken up as a major sport for the first time this year, as the Athletic Board was able to obtain the Empire Hall, an excellent floor on which to play. Although the game was new to a majority of the members of the team, they performed with all the speed and precision of veterans. Although the greater number of games were lost, we may still consider the basketball season successful as we must take into consideration the fact that the squad wras inexperienced. 1 he first game of the season, more of a practice game to show the ability of the squad gotten together by Coach Wyatt, was played with the Christian Church team, an experienced quintet. After a hard fight from start to finish, the High School managed to nose out a victory by one field goal, the score being 16 to 14. 1 he next game, and the first interscholastic game, was played here vvtih Delavan, who had a heavy and experienced team. Owing to their experience and weight, they managed to wear down the lighter local team and won by the score of 27 to 16. A week after the Delavan game here, the P. H. S. team journeyed to Delavan. Here, owing to the strange floor which was somewhat slippery, and, perhaps to the extraordinary large crowd in attendance, which they never saw at a home game, the P. H. S. team was again defeated, the score being 56 to 29. The most exciting game of the whole series was the game between Green alley and Pekin at the Empire Hall The outcome of this battle was in doubt from start to finish. In fact, when time was called, the score was a tie and an extra five minutes had to be played. During these five minutes Pekin managed to slip in a field goal and won the game, 32 to 30. This game, without a doubt, contained the most action of any game played here. Our next opponent was the Morton squad, who met us at Pekin. In this game the Pckinites showed a slump in their playing and were defeated by a 27 to 14 score. I he next big event was the State District Tournament held at Peoria. Pekin was unfortunate enough to draw Washington, one of the most formidable of all teams present. Pekin, nevertheless, put up a hard fight, but was beaten 26 to 7, thus being eliminated. It might further be stated that Washington captured second place in the tournament, being defeated only by Canton. I lie last game of tiie season was played at Morton on a very small floor, with which the Morton boys seemed to be very well acquainted. They won by a score of 32 to 5. 1 he work ot Capt. Lohmann at basket shooting was good, as was the guarding of Le Gault. Other men who performed well were Smith, Anderson, Heckman and Allen. Although these last named men were not stars in a particular department of the game, they were good all around players. As the team loses only tw'o men and there will be an excellent gymnasium in the new High School in which to play, we arc anticipating a team for 1917 that will rank high as a contender for the championship of this division in the district tournament and one that will be far above the class of teams that defeated P. H. S. this year. ....................................................................................'•.............. ............................................................................................... mu....... T rack. = In the earlier part of April about twenty promising wearers of the 1 spiked shoes reported to a call for first practice. Among them were five | or six experienced men and about a dozen likely looking recruits. After nearly a month of hard work under Coach Wyatt’s instruction 1 we entered the Bradley Interscholastic meet, April 22nd. Although we 1 put up a creditable showing, we were unable to secure a point. Never- | thcless, this meet was a success for us in a way, because it put more con- | fidence in the men, especially those who had never participated in one be- | fore. With this experience in a meet of the calibre of the Bradley Inter- | scholastic, all of our athletes should feel perfectly “at home” at Armington. | The next meet being the County meet, the most important one to us, | we all practiced faithfully until the preliminaries held at Mineral Springs | Park to determine the representatives of Pekin. After the County meet we 1 met Manual Training High School of Peoria in a dual meet at Pekin and | possibly Peoria Central High School here a week later. The track sea- | son will come to a finish the latter part of this month when we enter the | annual Quiver Lake meet at Chautauqua Park, Havana. The team representing Pekin this year is acknowledged by everyone | to be one of the best balanced teams we have had in the last few years. | Although wc have no individual stars this year, we have a team of steady | and consistent performers which can be counted upon to uphold the honor | of the Red and White.

Irene Joergcr. Dancing days, dancing days, Your splendor with my mem’ry stays. Reflecting joy is just to he In Paradise of Memory. To skip and prance upon a floor, For several hours—say three or four, May seem to some a waste of time; But to our hunch it’s just sublime. And when the roosters start to crow, And chaperones say that we must go; We beg and fret for just one more— No matter if we’re stiff and sore. The violin’st slowdy draws his bow, And wishes to goodness we could know What lie thinks of dance-crazy ginks; But we don’t care just what he thinks. But when we’re old and lame and worn And have the gout, or else a corn—■ We then can sit and think the while Of dancing days—’twill bring a smile.

We need a new High School, yes, g that’s a sure thing, This old one is battered and scarred. | And to seat all the “Freshies” who j yearly come in Is a problem most awfully hard. The Assembly room is entirely too | small, The three hundred pupils to hold. Paper composes the English room wall | Which makes that room terribly | cold. The Chemistry Lab is, oh! what a | sight; It’s badly in need of repairs. The desks, each one of them, look j like a fright. And broken are most of the chairs. | The typewriting room is narrow and | long. An enclosure of two feet by four. In truth, everything is entirely wrong, | Even the latch is off of the door.
