Four years you have toiled together Tirelessly for Princeton High With a loyalty and spirit Bound by golden friendship's tie. Seniors! i Let this he your glory In life's way of storm and stress, Confidently meet the challenge: Do you honor P. H. S.? Seniors! Now a health together To the class the best by far, Who to merit great achievement Hitched her wagon to a star! Class Historq of MCMXXV O YOU REMEMBER way back when we were a motley crew of be- wildered little Preps? That glorious September day when we, in pig- tails and short trousers, clambered into the aeroplane which was to convey us to Prepville, the first stop on our long journey in search of a morsel of education. Carl Pierson, our pilot, decided that we would not ascend very high into the air this time, because the cool atmosphere was too much for our delicate constitutions. Even so, as we sailed away, a few hundred feet above the earth, tiny chills of excitement shot up and down our little Prep spines. ln time we learned to keep out of their way to a certain extent, and they really seemed to respect us for it. We began to feel quite skilled as aeronauts, so when we started our flight to Freshmantown, with Jessie McCall as our pilot, we left the earth far- ther below us than on the previous trip. We were too studious to participate very extensively in social affairs that year and the girls were beginning to think rather seriously on the question, To bob or not to bob, so they really had no time to indulge in social frivolities. It seems that people have to have some form of amusement so of course a few daring little Freshies became quite acrobatic, and tried hanging by their toes from the wings of the plane. So it wasn't very astonishing to any of us to notice some of them dropped off and went sailing through the air to sink into the Land of ignorance. With a nose- dive which left us breathless we finally came to earth for a little recreation. Our next flight with Margaret Helen Paden as pilot, began with a swift uprising into the sky, higher than ever before, and we really thought we had reached the heights of our dreams, when we reached Sophomoreton. Now we must pause for a moment or so to recall to our minds a picture--of our Sheiks , in gorgeous toreadors of dark green corduroy, fbell-shaped of course, with inserts of brilliant red satin, ornamented with odd shaped pearl buttons. Some even became so engrossed with the idea that they wore dash- ing scarfs around their waists. Quite a picture is it not, these sleekhaired, slender youngsters who became so picturesquely costumed almost overnight? Then the great event to which we had looked forward for the last two years --the Sophomore Banquet. Here we beheld our dainty misses, our social butterflies, as it were, blossoming out in their first party frocks. Soaring into the air, after a brief vacation , with Mac Wetherhold as pilot, we finally reached Juniorbury which held all sorts of new things in store for us. junior day has always been an all night escapade with' a few of the boys getting their exercise by walking the morning hours away on some country road. So we took a half a day and gave all the children a chance to par- take in a Field Day. Then our May Festival was a huge success. When the crowd beheld our graceful canters, they were so entranced that some of them thought they had dropped into Fairyland by mistake. Of course none of us developed into a Pavlowa or anything like that, but some of them weren't half bad, due to the training of Miss Hester, by the way. Then there were parties, an-d banquets, and our picnic at Rock lsland. ln fact our Junior year was a mad whirl of excitement. Then came our last year. We chose lVlr. Silas Nelson to be our pilot for the last lap of our journey, as we wanted to be sure to select a responsible per- son for such an important position in conducting us to Senior City. Then came the catastrophe of our lives, while we were speeding along through the air our ship burst into flames and we came crashing to earth. Finally we suc- ceeded in getting some smaller inadequate planes, the Post Ofhceu, City Hall , Mission Church , and several other minor ones trailing along, in which to complete our trip. But we had visions of a new plane which would be beautiful, although it would be difficult to replace the old one, which held pleasant memories of years gone by for us and many of our ancestors. -Marion Kasbeer Gi2C'fi:9 Senior Class will We, the Senior Class of l925, of the Princeton Township High School, Bureau County, Illinois, are now about to depart, to explore, to conquer un- known green pastures and new fields.

Alice Walter, Richard Junior League E REMEMBER three short years ago, when this team first appeared on the horizon of fame. Since that time it has become one of the most formidable teams of America. ln fact, since their great victory over the Invincible Twenty-five, December fourth 1924, it has been rumored that next season 'The League' will carry off the world series in a walk. The success of Gray, the coach, and I-larnack, the trainer, in developing The Kids is remarkable. Early in their career, twenty-four bushleaguers drifted into their ranks. Among the headliners of these are Conkling, a sec- ond Babe Ruth and Abbot the famous reserve pitcher: one rookie who came with a rush. Heaton, added to their ranks only this year, gives promise of de- veloping into a batter, but as yet no one has been able to touch Dorothy Ralph, who has a batting average of .750. But some of their best players have been sold to other teams. The best batter lost in this manner was Genevieve Lyons with .625 as an average. The Burckey Twins were valuable to the team because where one Went the other was sure to go, and in that manner they always netted two scores at the same time. We hope Andy Pollard has as much success trying to explain things to his new managers as he did to the Junior League managers. John Bailey was a vocabulari-est player Cif l may be permitted to use such a worcll. He always made a score because he used such words as to mystify those around him, and they, in order not to display their ignorance, always let it pass. In the first year 31 batters stopped at the first cushion and were too lazy to move, hence it was not long before they had four outs. In this League the qualifying rules are very stringent. After a player has four outs against him he is thrown off the team. And now, although their numbers are few, they are of the best. They boast three star players, who have been elected to a position on the all-star team of America. They are S. Anderson, Aldrich and Harrauff, the unrivaled catcher. Again cheers rose in the air. This time for the Umpire, O. V. Shaffer, who has made such a good hit among the leagues this year. T e Tiqer Sophomore Class Freddie Steaclry ......... ......... P resident Margaret E. Sweitzer ....

Sophomore Historq Ll.. ABOARDI Everyone hurried so he wouldn't be left behind. The baggage, which consisted mostly of books, was put on deck and we start- ed out with Freddie Steadry as captain, Margaret Sweitzer, James Moran and Daniel Russell as his assistants. After progressing quite a distance, we decided to stop at Sandwich lsland for a party and a general good time, which was to encourage those who had become seasick, not to give up hope. Of course, they would not want to be left to go with the next class. The amusements were held on deck. The crew had a track-meet and was divided into four sections, each division represented a particular team, namely: lllinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Chicago. The contest was exciting, especially to the spectators. A yell-leader was chosen for each team, as originality and pep counted, there was some variety. Another feature was an auto race, the autos being kiddie cars, another was to see who had the broadest smile. Illinois was victorious and after this strenuous work all agreed it was time for Heats . Afterward came dancing and games. Next morning nearly all were back to work again but some could hardly keep their eyes open. At Christmas we were allowed a vacation, if we pro- mised to be back in two weeks, to start the new year. When we started on the long voyage again some, who were not able to keep up were left behind. ln March something had to be done to keep the work from growing monotonous, so some decided to show their ability as actors and actresses in the play Neighbors . Those included in the cast were Neva DeVault, Anna Nelson, Ruth Anderson, Beryl Longman, Helen Smith, Daniel Russel, Margaret Elaine Sweitzer and Janice Rolander. On the same night the reading contest was heldand five boys and five girls were chosen as final contestants. These were: Ruth Anderson, Anna Nelson, Marguerite Moses, Margaret Elaine Sweitzer, Helen Harrauff, Dari Lafferty, Winser Coddington, Eugene Finn, Freddie Steadry and Cal. Phelps. On March l, many were taken into the Latin Club and each one was com- pelled to sacrifice something to the king and queen before he was permitted to leave Mt. Olympus. George Clark sacrificed his dignity. Freddie Steadry was appointed court jester to act as natural as possible and Cal Phelps contri- buted his tireless gift of gab. We then had to cross the Styx fsticksl, and then we joined in singing songs in Latin. A picture, portrarying the Pompeian life. was reeled off by an expert electrician, George Clark. Then the best part of all was administered--the eats. We have now made about one-half of our journey and if our ship does not spring a leak we hope to reach our destination in two years.

Miss Cox, our able adviser helped us organize and we elected Dick Ferris, president, Theodore Bailey, vice president, and Clifford Huffaker, secretary and treasurer. We en- joyed our studies and the schoolyear although the upperclassmen did call us Tiny Tots. After passing the exams with a very few failures we had a pic- nic at Lime Rock. V At the beginning of the Freshman year we found about sixty-eight Fresh- men carried over from the Prep Class, and we welcomed a lot of green Fresh- men on Enrollment Day. After we had enrolled and started school we had a class meeting and elected Warren Fox president, Jack Blackburn, Vice president, Vivian Rabe, secretary, and Margaret Swartsley, treasurer. Our class advisers are Miss Bachman, Miss McCoy, and Miss Cutler. These teachers have very ably dis- charged their duties. The Freshman girls played in a baseball tournament and won a victory over the Juniors, then they played the Seniors who had been victorious over the Sophomores. We lost! We had a class party October 31, 1924 which the Football squad and a few more intruders tried to break up. ln protest We turned the hose on them whereupon they dispersed and gave us no more trouble. The beloved old school building burned on the night of December I5, l924. However, we again resumed school in the City Hall, Swedish Nlission Church, Christian Church, and the Post Office. The Freshmen settled down immediately and made the best of things. The members of our class are willing to be good freshmen while we are in the Freshman class and we shall try to be good studious Sophomores when we get into the Sophomore class. -Mildred Shugart Cf C Tisfif ....................... Allgni F WE. WERE to gather together the Alumni of Princeton High, we would have to send to the East, to the West, to the North, and to the South. Fifty-five years ago the first class was graduated and with the exodus of this year's class, the Alumni will number one thousand five hundred and eleven. The greater portion of these could be found in the United States, but for a few it would be necessary to search in foreign lands-Africa, China, Ha- waii. We would find them as scholars, business men, professors, editors, en- gineers, farmers, missionaries, scientists, or in practically every known occu- pation. Dr. E. H. Bartley of Brooklyn, New York, a graduate of the class of 1870 sends the following reminiscence of early days at Princeton High. lt was a great event in the little prairie town of Princeton when the High School opened its doors, fifty-seven years ago. lt was the first opportunity offered for .preparation for college within a radius of many miles. The school was fortunate in securing as its first principal, Mr. Henry L. Boltwood, a man of broad college training, enthus- iasm and energy. As to the high standards of the school at that time there can be no doubt. Of course, we had at that time no history, no traditions, no fraternities, no athletic teams, no precedents, which at the present time make up so much of a students life in schools and colleges. The last time I saw the school building, in the summer of 1910, I walked through its halls and recalled the faces of classmates and teachers, many of whom are no more. l felt like a stranger in a strange land. I regret that a busy professional life in eastern cities has prevented my following the paths and fortunes of my classmates and other alumni of my acquaintance. I hope that these lines may reach some of them and carry a greeting from one of the old fellows. To all of us it is a shock and a sorrow akin to that of the loss of a dear friend, to know that our Alma Mater lies in the ruin of ashes, on the old campus. It is unthinkable that this is the end of Princeton High School. It will rise from the ashes a better building than ever before. Public senti- ment and public policy demands it. 'The King is dead. Long live the Kingl' should be heard from every alumnus of this justly noted school. Mr. C. A. Nelson, a missionary for thirty-two years in China, sends his greetings. To the Princeton High School Graduates, Greetings: A certain Greek Professor began a lecture on Socrates with these' Words: 'The homliest man that ever lived, lived a long time' ago.' So, in regard to myself, l graduated from the High School a long time ago, Viz forty-six years, as ours was the class of 1878- There appeared in our hamlet, in Providence, lllinois, a preacher by the name of E. A. Paddock. l look upon him today as my father in the Gospel. One night he preached from Romans l2:l, 'Your Reasonable Servicef I saw for the first time what the Lord required of me. That vision sent me to Oberlin, Ohio College, where l graduated in 1889 and in the Theological seminary in I892. l was then thirty-two years of age and l have been a missionary in China for thirty-two years. 'il labored under the American Board for thirty years. During this time, several churches of the South China Mission of the American Board became self-supporting, self-governing, and self-propagating. ln l9l9, the 'American-Chinese Educational Commissionf was founded for the purpose of aiding the Chinese to develop modern elemen- tary schools in China. This is now the fourth semester of the Mei-Wa School, which has a capacity of 200 boys, and is being conducted by six American teachers skilled in the Chinese language, and in imparting modern educational ideals. I expect to return to China next Spring. My best wishes for the future of Princeton High School. 619653 Tl-IE. MENDICANT Time is a beggar, a blear-eyed old mendicant, Asking for alms, and pretending he's blind. See-I have given him most of my money, Coins that Life gave me to chink in my pouch. Gold coins, and silver coins, pennies of copper, All but the pennies I've given to Time. Give me one back again, Time, you old wheedler, I'll give you my coppers for one golden coin. No? Ah, then take them for one piece of silver- Gold coins buy pleasure and silves ones pain. Take them I beg you, you merciless miser- All of my pennies for one paltry coin. Won't you? Ah, curse you, you bundle of tatters- Take them for nothing, like all of the rest. So-you refuse them? Indeed you are gracious. You've robbed me of sorrow and stolen my joy, Still, you will leave me these pieces of copper, Spitefully smiling-you say you are blind? How did you know then, voracious hour-stealer, That dull pence will buy only monotone? -Bernice Bodenhamer.

The drowsy maple's shadow-fingers touch and slip be- tween the tiny gold-streaked ripples. Good-tipped flowers bending-drooping-luringly kiss t h e shimmering, shivering gold blue waters gliding this way and that out from the shadows. And through the clark-rimmed gaps of the trees--His frame- God has painted this picture. Gleaming golcls blend- ing with amethyst-gold-crimson fading-up-up -into deep rose then up into the tiny clouds of coral-pink, drifting and tossing in the paint-pot of Cod's sea of color. Slowly the rock and cliffs- granite hard-fade into soft browns and russets and at last melt into the rosy mist of the sunset. And at last, over all-God drops down his silvery-gray curtain of evening mist, leaving gleaming faintly through the gray, the dull gold, rosy mist, and dark clear amethysts, blending to-gether in a perfect har- mony of color. -Stella Nickelsen QlllS EST? Hey Smiley! l turn to confront the now serious countenance of that plump chunky personage we all know so well. As l listened to him speak, l noticed that everlasting smile from ear to ear creep back again into his face overspreading all his features including a short flat nose and a mouth which widens as he smiles, as a river is widened at full tide. His fat, stubby neck rests upon his wide, square shoulders which prove to be a tower of strength if ever you have the misfortune so greatly to incur his wrath as to result in a physical clash with him. Although his short, fat arms and legs, to- gether with his small, though far from thin, body, prove a disadvantage to him in physical combat, his strong will power and bulldog determination make him fight to the finish in either a physical or intellectual struggle. CThe bell rings! We rush into our classroom., During this class I notice that, in his eagerness to impart his knowledge to his classmates and in his fear that the teacher is unaware of his effort in acquiring it, he rises in his place and frantically waves his arms up and clown, giving one the impression that he is a human wind-mill. As the class continues, l observed that he is a mas- ter of that one art all boys attempt to achieve. That is the art of pleas- ingly annoying girls. This boy, so it appears, is very fond of girls' names. He repeatedly answers to the names, Eunice, Grace, Helen, Florence, and a few others. However, though he may have a few feminine tastes, we all agree that he is decidedly masculine. -Margaret Simon 'E' Q -5:3 ziggy. -'gf' Nr 6 l'1l 'l Ji- illllilllw i 31+ 1-l f : NY?

Puntings from the Gridiron The 1924 football season was far more successful than those of previous years. This year's scoreboard shows eight wins' while on the losing side only two marks can be found. The team this season was under the captainship of Walter Cork, plowing and fighting fullback. In l925 the Blue and Gray grid- ders will be piloted by Enos 'ABud Cole, quarterback. The schedule for this year was very well planned. The Princeton squad did not have easy going, but earned all they got. P. H. S. 53-BUREAU 0. Bureau came here to give Princeton a real fight. All the members of the squad were inspired with fighting spirit which amounted to the first victory of the season. P. H. S. 27-IVIANLIUS 7. Manlius came over with the idea of wiping Princeton off the map. The boys fooled 'em. Manlius scored first, but the final whistle showed a 27 to 7 victory for Princeton. P. H. S. 74-BUDA O. Buda having an inexperienced team, Princeton found no trouble in tak- ing them into camp. Every member of the squad played in this game even little Jack Blackburn. P. H. S. 46-ALEDO 0. The next game of the season found Princeton at Aledo. The Mercer county boys out weighed the Blue and Gray but weight meant no fact as this was counted as the fourth Victory for Princeton. P. H. S. I0-MENDOTA 7. After trouncing Aledo we journeyed to Mendota where we again emerged victorious. One of the features of the game was a dropkick by Cole. P. H. S. 20-NEPONSET 0. Again the Blue and Gray gridders played away from home but still kept their record unmarred. Princeton got Neponset's goat instead of them get- ting ours. P. H. S. 27-GALVA 3 Galva scored first but that cut no ice. ln the fourth the team got real mad and crossed Galva's line four times for twenty-seven points. P. H. S. 6-SPRING VALLEY 7. Princeton although they outplayed the Hall boys failed to gather enough points to spell victory. Hall made their touchdown by a forward pass. Al- drich made Princeton's lone touchdown. K P. H. S. 26--BRADFORD 13. Princeton claimed another victory by defeating Bradford 26-l3. This game was a very slow one. This game was played on a muddy field which accounts for the lack of exciternent. P. I-I. S. 20-KEWANEE 23. This was no doubt the hardest fought game of the season. The game was played at Kewanee on Thanksgiving Day. Por three quarters of the game, Princeton led. In the fourth quarter, because of injuries, the doom of Prince- ton was sounded, but Kewanee fought for everything she got. SUMMARY OF 1924 SCHEDULE P. H.

Under the captain- ship of Lloyd Lange, a very able guard, the Blue and Gray cagers won seven out of an eight game schedule which does not include the tournament games in which Princeton also played. The basketball season was opened on December 20 at l.alVloille. Prince- ton took them into camp easily IZ to 7. The next game after the Bureau township tourney was with the Orange and Black squad at Kewanee. Re- venge is sweet! Princeton in a hard fought game conquered them 20 to l8. Following the Kewanee game Princeton counted another victory at Henry by a I6 to i0 score. The next week the Princeton cagers took a part in three games. The first with Mendota, resulted in an overtime period game, but again P. H. S. counted a victory I9 to l7. The game following the boys journeyed to Sterling where they were defeated for the first time by a I8 to I0 score. With Bradford, Princeton had two encounters and took them into camp both times, the first I9 to i5 and the other I6 to l4. The last game of this schedule was with Buda and Princeton counted another victory, I2 to l0. In all, Princeton played including tournaments, eighteen games, winning thirteen of them. This can be taken by the student body as a great success because of the handicap of having no place to practice and being compelled to play all games on foreign floors. TU TE 3 SD 5 ff 2.

The second tournament in which Princeton was represented was the illinois Valley held at Ottawa in February. ln the first round Princeton met Tonica, and defeated them ll to 9. ln the second round Princeton was eliminated by Earlville. ln the Bureau County Tournament held at Sheffield the last week in February, Princeton gathered their share of the laurels. ln the first game Princeton defeated the Hall Township squad easily I8 to 8. Next they met Walnut and trounced her by a l l to 4 score. ln the semi-final she won from Sheffield, l 7 to l3. ln the finals Princeton met Manlius which resulted in the hardest fought game of the tournament and victory for Manlius. This is the second consecutive year that Princeton has been runner-up in the County Tourney. This year Princeton was represented on the first All-Star team by Kopp and Lange and on the second by Charles. Kopp was also chosen by the tourney officials as the second most valuable rnan to his team. ln the district Tourney held at LaSalle, Princeton met Granville. For three quarters of the game Princeton held the lead. Late in the fourth period Granville tied the score. The score, I6 to l6, with forty seconds to play, the Granville team tossed in two field goals which spelt a 20 to I6 victory for Granville. When one stops and considers the handicap that Princeton has because of no gymnasium and the fact the squad travels fourteen miles each way in practice, the students of Princeton should be proud of the record they have attained in l925. Sprints from the Cinder-Paths V The 1924 track season schedule consisted of participation in two track and tield meets. The Big Eight Track Meet was held in Moline on May 7, 1924. In this event the Blue and Gray track men succeeded in gathering their share of the points. Lowell Devenney won first place in the pole-vault, Arthur Bolz took third in the javelin throw and Parker Stratton won third place in each of the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes. In the Bureau County track meet Princeton again won her share of the points. Devenney won the pole-vault, Hopkins tied for first place in the running broad jump, and also broke the Bureau County record in this event. Diller won points in the high jump and Stratton carried off points in the Sprints. Girls' Physical Culture S SOON AS school started last fall, the girls of the different classes be- gan to practice for the interscholastic Base-Ball Tournament. After captains were elected and teams chosen, everyone set to work in earn- est. On a frosty afternoon, October 20, the Juniors met in combat with the Sophs. The score moved slowly while the contestants worked hard. The Juniors were victorious. The second day the class of '25 battled with the class of '28, each being urged on by the loyal cheers from the side-lines. By a narrow margin, the Freshmen were successful. All were anxious to see the outcome. The two victors fought a long hard battle, both classes showing true mettle, but the Freshies lost to the more fortunate Juniors, with the score 30-13. When indoor classes were held, regular gym work was conducted under the tutorship of Miss Bachman, one of the two classes being devoted to bas- ket-ball. Those already experienced were greatly benefited by the detailed instructions. Great hopes were entertained by the different classes for an exciting tournament. This fine program, however, was suddenly stopped and the hopes of all four classes shattered. Nevertheless, everyone will put all she can into the coming tennis tour- nament. in reviewing the gym work for the' past year the May Festival must not be overlooked, held May 23, l924. It was a great success. Miss Hester, Miss Bachman and Mr. Robb did their parts nobly in making it such a suc- cess, through their careful planning and earnest work. ln the first part of the performance the boys played the principal part with their calisthenics and pyramid building. Then the audience was silenced by the first strains of the processional march, ushering in the May Queen and her attendants, followed by the re- velers of the court. The part of the May Queen was taken by Marjorie Brown. ln turn the attendants of the Queenis Court performed before her, gain- ing the applause of the audience. Dancers in brightly colored costumes, set off by the enchanting back- ground of green foliage and the semi-circle of gayly dressed revelers, made a scene that looked like a glimpse into fairyland. Thus, spring was ushered in. fbi-'XX 'X Ni Ulr rrrrm up --X R1 , 1 . 6 msn mn-, SEQ M Hilil V L .1 5 V V' ' v ' il--4 lwlszff KT?

The National Honorary Society NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY was established in P. T. H. S. in 1924, to acknowledge the value of scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter, and thus stimulate an added zeal for the cultivation of these qualities. Any student in the two upper classes having a scholastic standing, which places him in the first fourth of his class is elegible to this society. Fifteen per cent of this number are selected from the Senior class and five per cent from the Junior class for membership. Last year, eleven Seniors and three Juniors were chosen by a faculty council, as worthy to wear the National Honor Society emblem. As charter members, they were initiated at a very impressive ceremony before the school assemblage. This year eight Seniors and three Juniors were elected and formally in- itiated in the same manner as those of the preceeding year. Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor which may be attained by a student of P. T. H. S. History of the Glee Club E. HAD A FINE start this year and kept it up for some time. We have not sung at many outside entertainments, but have kept practicing on several pieces. We practiced and were almost all prepared for a Christmas Program, when to everyone's astonishment the school burned. Since then we have had to get all new music and work under many disadvantages. We sang at the Tabernacle one night and in assembly a few times. On February 25, the Glee Club together with the Art Department presented an enter- tainment at the Christian Church. At this entertainment we were assisted in the singing by eight boys. Having bought a new victrola and records every- one is working hard now for the Music Memory Contest which is held the last of March. Five members will be picked to go to Chicago to represent P. H. S. Much credit is due Mrs. Simmons who has worked hard under many dis- advantages since the fire. -Eleanor Rawson 2, l Qur Qrchestra HIS YEAR WE have added two new members to our orchestra making us fourteen pieces. We meet twice a week in the Christian Church for rehearsal. The second semester we have had an entire new selection of pieces, Chopin and Gounod, and some popular airs. During the first semester we played for assembly several times, once under the direction of Henry Jackson, our talented pianist. We have made no public appearances this second semester, but are planning to enter the contest to be given this spring. In the violin section we have Roland Johnson, faithful Signa, and Winser, who has a new violin and is always present at rehearsals. Madalene Bachman, one of our new members, helps us in the first violin section. In the Second violin section we have Imo- gene Lee, and Helen Harrauff, who admits she enjoys playing one note throughout practically the whole piece, Indian Dawn. Last but not least is Lorene Gilbert and her mandolin. Edwin Booth, another unlucky member, lost his cornet in the fire, so both he and Paul have new ones. James Uimj Ennis, another new member, plays the saxophone. Lola May had the misfortune of losing her trombone in the fire, but it has been re- placed. We are very fortunate in having two pianists, Henry and Mel Vera Harrauff. One or the other is always present. Through the co-operation of our faithful leader and the members of our orchestra, we hope to give you some good music in the near future. L. M. T. '26 T I-li -Y Club Advisor-john Little President-lven Sandberg Vice President-Roy Horton Seciy-Treas.-Bartley Gay HE l-ll-Y CLUB is the only club in the Princeton Township High School having Christian ideals foremost as their standards. About the first thing that was clone this year was to take in new mem- bers. There were three induction ceremonies held and eighteen new mem- bers were added. The I-li-Y Club holds semi-monthly meetings, generally every Tuesday night. One night we have refreshments and a prominent out- side man speaks to us, and on alternate nights we have lively discussions on fllder Boys' Problems. All of the members have had a part in the success that has been achiev- ed. Ten of the boys represented the Churches of Princeton and the Club at the State Older Boys' Conference held at Elgin. The High School faculty was entertained at one of the induction ceremonies, so that they might know what the l-li-Y Club is trying to do. The yearly entertainment to raise money to send boys to Camp Seymour was held at the Apollo Hall with good results. The Hi-Y Club did a splendid piece of work in taking full charge of the Bureau County Older Boys' Conference, which brought together the older boys of the County to consider Christian Citizenship. Big Eight Debate HIS YEAR PRINCETON was ably represented in the Big Eight Debating League. The question for debate wasg Resolved, That the St. Law- rence Waterway Project Should be Constructed. fCanadian Parliamentary and United States Congressional agreement and consent concededjn The Princeton affirmative team consisting of Edith Frasier, Howard Nienaber, George Bohrnan and Cal Phelps, alternate, met the Geneseo negative and won a 2 to l decision from the judges. The Princeton negative consisted of Bartley Gay, Richard Ferris, George Anderson and Paul Elder, alternate, lost by a 2 to l judges' decision at Kewanee. Paul Elder was substituted for Richard Ferris in the debate at Kewanee. The debate this year was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Little of the Commercial Department. ln closing it is justifiable to mention that George Anderson is the first debater who has been a member of the debating team for four consecutive years. Societas Latina T WOULD SEEM that this is an exclusive club due to the fact that it has met once in two years. To be a member of this club three semestefs Work in Latin are required. This year, owing to the fact that our building burned, we did not get a chance to organize our club as soon as we expectedg but now that we have started we hope to have our meetings regularly, once a month. On Wednesday March I9, l925, eight of the Aeneadae put the fol- lowers of Caesar through the initiation and made them answer questions in purest Latin to test their eligibility for the club and also made them cross the river, Styx. They came back and entertained us with a short play in which Calhounus Phelps was mortally wounded. Our entire program was carried out in Latin, even our songs. Dorothy Ralph prepared a paper about a certain young lady who had made the ascent of Mt. Vesuvius, which was very entertaining owing to the fact that such a feat is rarely accomplished. After this Georgius Clark showed us some slides of Roman scenes and views of Naples, Serentog Capri, and the Blue Grotto, while Miss Graham explained them. Refreshments were served after which all suddenly departed for home or otherwise. We hope that the Societas Latina will prosper and will continue to be an entertaining and educational organization. -D. E. F. '25 T e Tiqer The French Club Le Cercle Francais was organized last November on the instigation of our French instructor, Miss Hester. It has a goodly number of members from the time of its organization, the num- ber then being about eighteen and that has now been increased to twenty-two. Mem- bership is limited to students having successfully completed at least one year of French. We have for president, Dorothy Dawson, and Ruth Funderburg, as secretary and treasurer. We also have the distinction of having members who are not now attend- ing P. H. S., Frances Wetherhold and? Katherine Ralph. The purpose of this club is to stimulate and promote interest in the French lang- uage and to aid French students in various ways. The Club meets every two weeks and although we do not have the privilege of meeting in the spacious old library, we manage to have very good times. Several short French plays have been given with success, with 3 view to putting on a larger one for the public. We also discuss famous French authors and their works. For one meeting we had a very interesting discussion of Guy de Maupassant. Of course, we want, every- one 'to understand that these meetings are carried on strictly in French, each discus- sion, play, and story is given in our newly acquired tongue, and we even play cards French style. Although this is practically a new club, we expect something worth while so- 'fEn Avant, mes petits! -R. J. F. '25 Scribblers HE SCRIBBLER'S CLUB was founded by Miss Stinson, the head of the English de- partment. This organization has for its motive a deeper appreciation of the best in Literature. The officers elected last year are still presidingg Bartley Gay as president and Olaette Jury as secretary. We have followed a very interesting course of study this year, delving into the literary productions of the nations of Europe. Victor Hugo, Cervantes, Robert Louis Stevenson and Burns are among the authors enjoyed. The Prisoner of Chillon, William Tell and The Two Lovers of Teruelle are representative of the types of literature read and discussed in the club. Many happy social gatherings have we had also. Our Christmas party was a great success, so great indeed that Santa considered it well worth his time to honor us with a visit. On March 17, another jolly time was had by all. An outsider would have reached the conclusion that Ireland Forever was our watchword. Here we also learned of the startling relationship between the Irishman and Englishman! The Club is steadily growing. New members have been added at various times during the year and many brave hearts have quailed during the gruesome initiation! It is the hope of the Scribblers that their club may continue and carry on its beneficial as well as enjoyable work. Reception for the Faoultq HE EVENING of September I9 was official handshaking time for the faculty and upper classmen. The junior and Senior classes combined to welcome our old teachers back again and to tell the new arrivals how glad we were to greet them. Especially did we welcome our new principal, Mr. Shaffer. An interested audience heard a radio program given by some of our talented ones. The receiving set was working well so we tuned in on sta- tions from New York to Los Angeles. At times we were bothered with static made by a small contraption behind the scenes. Dan Russell was a talented announcer, imitating effectively the particular style of each one. The program consisted of piano solos, quartette and chorus numbers, snatches of bedtime stories, also plays, and readings. After the entertainment refreshments were served. Cards and dancing then followed. After a successful get-together like that, we were ready for a year's harmonious work with our friends, the teachers. An Entertainment HE MUSIC AND Art Department presented an interesting program at the Christian Church, February, 25. Two songs, Lady Chloe and Sere- nade by the Glee Club were first on the program. The audience was next favored by a short one act play, A Fair Encounter . The characters Blanche Anderson and Katherine Simon, were very well suited to their re- spective parts as Lady Claire St. John and Josephine, the maid. Twelve of the Glee Club Girls, dressed in colonial costumes, sang Because You're You, illustrating their words with actions. A very amusing reading, Red- dy, was given by Margaret Elaine Sweitzer. She impersonated a normal little boy in Sunday School. Margaret Helen Paden presented a rather hu- morous musical reading, Can't You Take it Back and Change it For a Boy? Helen Harauff took us all back to those days of our childhood when she gave the musical reading entitled, Dear Jerushaf' Three Little Maids From School from Mikado was ably presented by Imogene Fisher, Lola Mae Trimmer, and Mel Vera Harrauff, assisted by the Glee Club Girls dressed in Chinese costumes. The Glee Club, with the help of several boys, gave the finishing touches to the program by singing the old familiar song, When the Flag Goes By. Junior Dau, December 5 Field Dau, December 4 Rah! Rah! Juniors! This group of Junior enthusiasts is answered by some Seniors yea, Seniors! Fight 'emi Fight 'em. Fight 'em! This is official hobo day -and Junior Day. Some of the fellows have borrowed their father's cast-off swallow- tailed coats or plaid vests. Some look more like lumber-jacks than scholars. All of the girls are boys for the day. In the morning we attend classes as usual, at one o'clock forces are mustered. The fun is ready to begin. There are eleven events, each counting one point. A referee is in charge and judging is done by three business men. Instructions are given for each separate event but fair play is one that stands for the whole day. First comes the barrel tilting contest. Two rows of barrels are formed, a boy on each one. Each one has a lance with a buffer on it in his hand. In- structions are to get your adversary off his barrel without you falling off yours. After that spectators watch the blind girl's race, blind boy's race, girl's tug-of-war, boy's tug-of-war, and the girl's color-grabbing contest. The sack race comes next. Sacks of straw are on a central line down the football field. The two teams line up back of the side lines. Then they charge across to get the sacks and the side getting the most sacks back of their line winning. Next comes the girl's three-legged race, the cane rush and now-the climax, the color rush. Equal teams defend and attack at each greased pole with the colors on top. The crowd cheers, entreats, and screams during this battle. Then a pistol shot and the time is up. The Juniors have six points out of eleven. They have wong it is their day. THE CONTEST The next morning the battling factions were reconciled. A stunt was given in an assembly hall decorated with the Junior colors. In the evening the annual declamatory contest was held. Special music was furnished by the girl's chorus under the direction of Mrs. Sim- mons. Then the five girls competing gave their readings. The Music Master de- livered by Marjorie Heaton received first place. Marjorie was vivid and convincing in her presentation. Frances Abbott was awarded second place with an effectively given piece, His Mother's Sermon. Third place was deservedly won by Imogene Fisher with a reading entitled The Birth of a Soul. The decision of the judges was rendered difficult by the close competition. THE JUNIOR BANQUET To complete the day, after the contest the Juniors and their guests repaired to the library which was beautifully decorated in blue and gold. Here an elaborate ban- quet was served, some Senior girls acting as waitresses. Toasts were given and re- plies made. Then the tables were moved out and dancing followed. That night a group of Juniors looked back instead of forward to one more milestone of their school career. Freshman P arty A successful Freshman Party was held October 3l, l924 in the High School Library which was decorated with pumpkins, corn shocks, and autumn leaves. About eight o'clock the library was filled with a great many masked figures of all descriptions. The unmasking and grand march ending in the Ghost Walk took place. The spooky Ghost Walk excited many people and caused a great many screams. Games were played and contests were indulged in until the refreshments were served. -M. S. The Football Party Our Princeton eleven and their guests got to-gether for one more yell and one more good time on December IZ, while thoughts of a successful season were still fresh. They were seated with their own tiny effigies and their own numbers as placecards. A bounteous feed with second helpings suited them fine. There were a few remarks by different ones of the squad and the faculty. The evening was topped off with the assistance of a good orchestra. The memory of this event will ever stay in the minds of all present, as this was the last social event ever held in the quaint old library of P. H. S. County Literary Contest The regular county literary contest was held as usual this year, but, con- trary to custom, it was not held the same day as the county track meet. The date was fixed at about a month ahead of that event. P. H. S. always put out a winning bunch of speakers. Last year first was won by each one who spoke in the final contest, and also by the Glee Club. George Bohman did his bit in the Boys' Oratorical Contest. Margaret Helen Paden represented us in the Girls' Dramatic and Frances Abbott in the Girls' Humorous. Our hopes in the Boys' Humorous were in Henry Jackson. The two competent extemporaneous speakers were Madeline Bachman and George Anderson. We had a fine Glee Club this year and they were a great success. Home Nursing lf your little sister had the croup, what would you do, Marian? Do you know what you would do? Well, Marian's learning just what to do in case of such an emergency in our Home Nursing Class. ln fact, all the Senior girls are, because thirty-eight of them take that course after school one night each week. This is the second year the course has been offered and though we are handicapped by the usual difficulties of an after school class, we are progressing rapidly. The purpose of the course is to teach home care of the sick, and give an insight into the work of a nurse. It consists of a study of diseases, their causes and prevention, first aid, bandaging, as well as personal hygiene and com- munity hygiene. We discuss these topics in the lecture periods. Then we get the actual experience in a well equipped labratory in the high school dwelling. Here we have a typical hospital room, two life size dolls, a first aid kit, and other materials. Learning to use the equipment here is an essential part of the work, and an interesting part. The city health nurse, Mrs. James, has charge of our class. She knows the work and knows how to make it interesting to others. We are benefited by her experience in this field. Upon successfully completing this course each one is given a diploma in Home Nursing from headquarters in Washington, D. C. That is something worth having and worth striving for. The Sophomore Sight Reading Contest The annual Sight Reading Contest and class play of the Sophomore Class was given at the Christian Church on March the Twentieth. ln the girls contest the decision of the judges gave first, to Helen Har- rauffg second, to Margaret Elaine Switzer, and third, to Marguerite Moses and in the boys, first, to Cal Phelps, second, to Eugene Finn, and third, to Freddie Steadry. After the contest the class presented a short play entitled Neighbors . Everyone was interested in Dan Russel fPeterI, who was a bashful boy who wanted to make love to Janice Rolander flnezj but was not successful. ln the end he seemed to have become very brave. The other characters were: Mrs. Abel, Ruth Anderson, Grandma, Anna Nelson, Mrs. Moran, Margaret Elaine Switzer, Mrs. Trot, Helen Harrauffg Mrs. Ellsworth, Helen Smithg Ezra, Beryl Longman, Peter, Dan Russel. They gave many laughs to their attentive audience. Senior Carnival E ENTER THE DOOR of the high school building, but who would re- cognize it as the place we had left at 3:15 P. M. on October 3. As we gaze about, a young man sitting at a table near the door informs us that all tickets for the side shows are purchased there. On each door there is a gaudily painted sign and in front a small boy with a big voice telling us to enter here to see a show which he describes in superlatives. Let's try it. This is the Minstrel Show, a little bit of Dixieland. We listen to their jokes and songs and grin with them. We are now invited to enter a small dark hole on our hands and knees. Anything once, so into the Crazyhouse We go. Through long dark alleyways made treacherous by every sort of contraption, we make our way. We reached light with a sigh of relief, but let's try another. This is a glimpse of Paris, the Fashion Show. We are charmed by the quaint old-fashioned costumes which lead up to a showing of the latest ultra-modern creations. Next we are beset by two little girls in fairylike costumes. They offer confetti and We buy and start roping the other merry-makers. Now to revert back to our childhood, we try the Doll Show. Rag dolls which look as if a rat terrier had been shaking them, Japanese dolls, soldier dolls, sailor dolls and a baby doll are there with walki- ing and taking dolls and their other doll friendsg all for our amusement. We are quite famished by now and turn for refreshment to the hot dog stand. Nearby is also a candy booth where the crier tells us they specialize in the home-made kind. On our way we are requested to vote for our favorite in the popularity contest. At the same time a knowing gypsy offers to tell our fortunes. The next side show is the Koon's Krazy Kanoodles, some enter- tainers from the South, who sing and play for us. At last everyone gathers in the assembly hall where Mrs. Simmons has a fine program for us. It consists of musical selections, dancing, and a short play. Then darkness reigns in the old school building after a successful eve- nmg. .i --.- zevxlf XL v QU mtg fre!-- CT e Tiqer Qflice Training WE ARE SEVEN Our class, including our beloved Miss Elizabeth l-larnack, consists of seven. Owingto the small class more time is given to each individual. Our aim is a high one, both as a class and as individuals. lVlore interest is taken because of the numerous ways of raising our aims and furthering our ambitions. As we are fortunte in having three kinds of typewriters, we try our luck each month on all three machines, striving to get an award and setting our aim higher. Many awards in both shorthand and typewriting have been gained. It is only right to mention here that Miss I-larnack received an award for expert typewriting which was presented to her Monday, March 23, in chapel. We are now planning, as a part of this course, someigood times in which the class ,will be as a club or organization. A ' ln the near future we hope to enter at least two contests, the district con- test at LaSalle and the big eight contest. Our ambition is to win for our dear alma mater something worth whileg to establish for the classes in the future a good reputation. We feel sure that the advantages and privileges will be found out in the following years ,and many more will take up this course. We have as our motto, A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. n:::::------ .......... Senior Play Cast THE TAILOR MADE MAN. Mr, Huber ,,,,..,,, ..,....

ANNUAL BANQUET of the Sophomore Class was held April the - third at Alexander Park. Some of the Senior girls served the three course dinner at seven o'clock. Freddie Steadry, as the President, was the leading toast-masterg other toasts were given by Helen Harrauff, Eugene Finn, Miss Stetson, Miss Glisson and Mr. Shaffer. The class was entertained by some of its members in stunts, by some of their accomplished dancers and especially the Sophomore Warblers. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and other games. One thing which created a great interest was to see how many of these young Sophomores captured the sedate Seniors for their prizes. We see that Phil Kopp, Lee Wright, Winfred Piper, Howard Nienaber and Arnold Waiters seemed to be the lucky ones. Seniormiunior Partq WING TO THE fact that in our present quarters there was no place for a social gathering, the regular Junior-Senior and Senior-Junior parties were consolidated into one party at Alexander Park. The two classes com- bined to make it a success. In the hands of the decoration committee, the pavilion became a beau- tiful Japanese garden. The program consisted of a series of songs by a quar- tette with living illustrations for each song. This was followed by other musical stunts. Appropriate refreshments were served and the evening was finished by playing games and dancing. g X P mm-1 mkgv- E J aj ' y i In l l l r if Y A M251?

Princeton Township Hiqh School N l866 PRINCETON at last realized the need for building a High School to provide higher education. Consequently many and lengthy discus- sions took place in town meetings. Finally suggestions for the building and maintaining the new High School, indorsed by Hon. John H. Bryant were printed in the Republican. Thus it was that Princeton took its first step toward the erection of a new High School, the first in Illinois. Three weeks later plans for the erection and maintainence of the new School were com- pleted. April l8, a special town meeting was held where the plans were laid before the public and given unanimous consent. The new High School was to cost sixty thousand dollars and to contain a basement, three stories and an attic. few days Tater another election was held at which it was cle- cided to form Princeton and nearby vicinity into Princeton Township to meet the bond issue, as a result also, to call it Princeton Township High School. After this was accomplished, rapid headway was made, the lot was chosen, architects were interviewed, and the plans of the building were taken and settled. Thus it was that P. H. S., readily sanctioned by Governor Oglesby, February 5, l867, was begun. September 27, I867 the dedication took place, and under the able lead- ership of Henry L. Boltwood the school immediately began to take its place among the leading High Schools of the country. This latter standing is still retained-even after the fire, due to the untiring well wishers of Princeton High. The first Board of Education consisted of: John Bryant, Flavel Bas- com, jacob Chritzman, Matthew Trimble and john Ode, a group of illustrious men of whom our present board is an example. As Princeton High continued to grow it sent out more and more graduates into the world. Finally in i894 the east wing was added to furnish more room and in 1912 the building was again enlarged. After the departure of Prof. Boltwocl from Princeton High the principal- ship was filled by educated and competent men eager to retain and further the ideals of P. H. S. This year we had such a man as our principal, Mr. O. V. Shaffer, who has done more for our school than we can ever repay. The first graduating class in l870, numbered fifteen, then each succeed- ing year an ever increasing number of men and women were sent out into the world, better equipped for having as their alma mater P. H. S. Today the graduates and friends of Princeton High must build as well if not better the new high school which must embody the past as well as the future hopes of Princeton's ideals. ln all activities-literary and athletic-Princeton High has always led the best schools. ln literary contests Princeton has always gained honors- in Football, Basket Ball and Track she has always carried off a large share of the trophies. The latter, the more remarkable because of the difficulties under which the coach and his men were forced to work--and the great competition met in other schools which had the necessary equipment-Princeton lacks what the boys could not have done had the voters and taxpayers provided them with a gymnasium and the necessary equipment! We, the Seniors of '25 in memory of our alma mater intend to do all possible to see that a High School is built worthy of the memory of Princeton High and the ideals that prompted the undertaking of such a large enterprise back in the Hsixtiesf' -C. I-I. The Citq of Princeton HE. CITY OF PRINCETON is located in Bureau County, in the State of Illinois. It would be difficult to conceive a more favorable or beautiful spot in which to locate a town. On all sides, the city is surrounded by country that reminds one in many ways of some of the famous towns of the old world to which Americans make long pilgrimages. The majestic Illinois River lies to the south in a valley of surpassing charm. This river is not only great in historic lore, but also rich in natural beauty. Belts of timber line the banks, and beyond this the pastoral lands slope up towards Princeton and 'the rich agricultural waterway which connects the Illinois and the Mississippi Rivers, runs through the heart of rich estates a little south and west of the city. A city with such surroundings and such a location, can with some justi- fication be said to have been located in one of the garden spots of the world. Princeton was first settled in the fall of I830. One or two lone pioneers struck into the West and located claims on what is now the city of Princeton. In the early days, to make sure of congenial neighbors, of schools and reli- gious privileges, it was the custom for the pioneers to form and organize colonies before leaving their Eastern homes. Thus families, of related opinions and aims, locating so contiguously, could cooperate in planting and sustain- ing such institutions as they deemed essential for the making of a good set- tlement. The Hampshire Colony is believed to have been the first of these organized movements in the settlement of northern Illinois and it has been one of the most successful. This colony arrived in Princeton in 1831. ln the same year the city was surveyed and its first rough plans made out. One year later the first physician arrived and located with the colony. -The first meeting house was built and was called the Congregational Church. In the summer of I835 and in IS37, Princeton was made the County Seat, and one year later, was incorporated as a town. Courts were held in the Congregational Church until the first court house was built in 1845. ln 1851, the first graded school was built and then the first town Council was decided upon. Princeton is very proud of the fact that in 1856 an address was given in the city by Abraham Lincoln. A few years previous to this, the first newpaper had been issued and the year when Lincoln visited here, another paper was issued. ln 1866 the High School building was voted on and was dedicated in 1868. This was the first high school organized by Act of Legislature in the State. The first commencement exercises took place in 1870. Princeton was proud of having a railroad as far back as 1854. This was the old Central Military Tract R. R. which later became the C. B. 61 ln 1871 Mark Twain lectured here, and the city has always been fortunate in having lecturers and speakers of national farne in the city at different times. During the Civil War and previous to this, Princeton was an impor- tant station on the underground railway. It was in the year 1883 that the town of Princeton was organized as a city. Improvements and developments followed rapidly in the next few years. ln 1890 the Public Library was opened, and in the' same year the City Water Works were completed. Rural Mail Delivery was established in that year also and in 1902 the City Delivery was established. ln 1907 the lnterurban railroad opened a line into the city and gave an efficient service. ' The home life of the people is enriched by many agencies for uplift and education. The city has first class schools, many churches, and various clubs for the culture and aesthetic side of life. The inhabitants of the city have always striven to maintain a high moral tone in the community and this has resulted in the elimination of many undesirable features that spoil other cities. A The commercial side of Princeton presents an interesting situation. There are but few towns of its size that can show a greater grade of stores, and goods of such high class. Business presenting such a situation, is attractive and pleasant. Princeton and its vicinity are served by four substantial banking institutions. These banks have passed through all of the panics and depressions since their founding, without any apparent strain. Upon visiting the city, one is impressed with the fact that this is above all other things, a city of homes. It is no mushroom village that has been thrown onto the map in the shape of ramshackle cabins, but is a well planned city of long and steady growth, with well built and well kept residences, new and complete municipal buildings, and adequate and beautiful parks in well chosen sites. All those who accept the generous and hearty invitations extended them, to visit the city, are always ready to present congratulations upon the de- sirable and congenial features of the city of Princeton. -F. A. A. T e Tiqer Inquirinq Reporter QUESTION: WI-IAT APPEALS MOST TO YOU ABOUT PRINCETON? Guy A. Bryant, of Bryant's Nurseries: I was born and grew to manhod in Princeton. Many times the urge has come and I have wandered far-north, south, east, west-, sometimes with friends, but more often among strangers. Wherever I have been I always turn with pleasure to the tree-lined streets, the broad, well-kept lawns, the pleasant homes and the dear friends and loved ones that were there. Princeton's appeal to me is that it is a city of homes. W. B. Everingham, salesman for Loose Wiles Biscuit Co.: Upon entering your city, there seems to be a homelike, comfortable feeling, a friendliness, extended the Stranger within the wall, seldom ex- perienced to such an extent elsewhere. Also Princeton is a very good busi- ness center and is enjoying Good Business. Your city was one of the first to promote good cement road entrances from all four directions lead- ing into town. Your streets are well paved. I think it is really the spirit of the city of Princeton itself, that I like best and appeals to me most. A. I-I. Ferris, President of Citizens' National Bank: What do I like most about Princeton? I believe that it is the moral atmosphere of the city that impresses me most. It is a good place to raise a family. The people of the community have a wholesome respect for the old-fashioned social proprieties that our parents believed in and this helps keep the youth on a high moral and mental plane. Our fine churches and schools help along this same line. Mrs. R. L. Russell, housewife: What do I like best about Princeton? Well, I'm just selfish enough to tell you it's 'The Woman's Clubf That organization does more for the women of this community than does any other organization. Its just what the thinking women need. The club is a benefit to its members and to the city of Princeton itself because it stands back of every good movement and it appeals to me more than anything else about Princeton. ----mfg-E Tiqer Hqmn Sung at the Dedication of the Princeton High School Building. O'er these broad plains so rich and fair, But late the untutored savage trod: Ng trace of cultured life wasseen To crown the smooth unfurrowed sod. There came the restless Saxon tide, Resistless, broad and deep and strong: That on its bright, free, crested wave, New life and learning bore along. Then rose the village, Church and School, And rural homes came thick and fastg And stately hall and lofty dome, Are reared for learning's use at last. The light divine of Palestine, The lore of Egypt, Greece and Rome, The mighty thoughts of modern minds, Shall cluster here and find a home. And here shall rich and poor alike, Be nurtured for the world's great strife, And hence go forth, with earnest hearts, To lead the Nation's upward life. No more shall minds of native power Be lost amid a herd of slaves, No future lVlilton's lips be mute, No Cromwells fill unhonored graves. -By John H.

Q i THE IDEAL COMPANY FOR POLICYHOLDERS ' I The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. The Dividend Paying Company of America. i Life insurance companies differ in various ways like other business institu- tions. While all are engaged in the same great work and have their strong points, there are some few, like the Northwestern, which have gained special prominence in the eyes of the insuring public. The following facts explain in part why the Northwestern stands out pre-eminently as the policyholder's company : 1. It is purely mutual, and all the profits of the business are returned in the form of dividends to policyholders instead of to stockholders. i 2. It is an old and reliable company, having been Organized in 1857. 3. It issues fair and liberal policies and furnishes life insurance at a re- i markably low net cost. i 4. It is the largest company in the world, writing only healthy male lives and confining its business to the healthier portions of the United States. 5. Of all the new business written during 1924, 52.40'Zl was on the lives of those already insured in the company-a convincing testimonial of satisfaction. Q H. A.
