Music Editor Page 5 N 'T' THE ORIOLE 2- Superintendenfs Address To all who are made of the right kind of stuff, Go to School is a good advice. The right stuff im- plies that you must have something within you that wants to motivate. Education is action. Learning is an active not a passive affair. You cannot sit still and without any exertion on your part learn any- thing. You must work. i The college is one of the best helps to you providing you use it rightly. lt cannot do everything for you but it can help you wonderfully. Here are some of the advantages gained by a well spent college life: It will give you a broader outlook on life. You come in contact with the big men of history. You learn of things they have done, their trials, experiences, the obstacles they have had to overcome, and the courage of conviction they have had to possess in order to become great. By so doing their thoughts become your thoughts and you are not limited by the narrow gossip of today or the little realm of one who does not try to grow or develop. ' The college life will inspire. You will come in contact with persons whose presence alone is an inspira- tion. The good ones will be always pointing the way upward. Then there are the associations formed with one's fellow-students. The majority of students are there for a purpose. That purpose is to make something of themselves. That attitude is like a contagious disease, you cannot help but be influenced and have your character molded by it. Many a college man will tell you that he values the friendships formed in college more than anything else. The college develops confidence and individuality in a man. Each one has within him latent possibili- ties which need developing. Delving into the problems and unknown truths put before him gives him the necessary stimulus to develop these before mentioned latent possibilities. A higher institution of learning will tend to mold a sympathy for all classes of people. lt will tend to make you a more useful citizen. It will tend to make you of more service to the community. The college aims to make a man a well rounded one. A sound body is the first requisite, as a founda- tion is necessary for any house to exist. Organizations exist to teach higher moral planes and the every day work enlarges the mental side. There is also the discipline gained through the work necessary to obtain the education. If you have to work your way through college, so much the better since life itself is a struggle and you are then that much better prepared for it. Anyone may secure a college education if he has sufficient ambition, willingness, and the will power to work for it. Then, this is the day of specialists and one may secure the training for which he thinks he is best adapted. ln former years all studied the classics no matter what vocation he intended to follow. It is dif- ferent now, as courses of study are offered to meet the different needs and one may enter this special training course at once. Perhaps best of all is that feeling that comes to one who is always ready to extend a helping hand to those who have not had his advantages and the respect that will be accorded him and to feel the satis- faction in living that he never could have felt if his mind had not been well trained. Arthur H. Balfour D , c- . ..:p s VIII 1 Q 2 .3 My J - ' THE 012101.51 ' S- Editorial THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY lt has been wisely said that an army of school boys is more powerful than a large standing army. Many more wars have been won by one man than by a whole army of destructive murderers, for that is what soldiers are. Henry Clay prevented two wars and prolonged the Civil War until it was beyond human power to stop, by treaties, compromises, or documents of that kind, that miserable institution, which for so many years held men, women, and children in shackles. While even to-day, as much as ever, we can see a few learned men preventing wars, riots, and unfriendliness among countries in Europe. lf it has been thus in the past, is this way in the present, it surely shall be the same in the future. The day shall NOT come when one man shall climb stone steps up to a platform and say who shall do this and who shall do that. Why is it not coming? Because there will be too many learned men and women. Our descendants shall be no less powerful with education and knowledge than our ancestors have been with powder and ball. The school-boy of to-day is being taught the mistakes and blunders of yesterday. He is learning WHAT was wrong with this way of settling disputes, and WHY it was wrong. He is learning how to make correct treaties of his own. He is learning how to conduct public meetings, and how to manipulate this large machine which baffles so many-our government-so that he may settle any dispute that may arise with intelligence. What would the communities be were it not for the schools? Would there be cement roads. cement side-walks, beautiful boulevards, and electric lights in towns, and large beautiful productive farms around these towns? l think not. lt is because of the schools that we have these things. Were it not for our schools of the United States we would be in a similar state to the black man of Africa. There would not be as many people in this part of the country, and those would be only savages. Parents and friends, the boys and girls who are in the schools of to-day will make better citizens than you are, or ever dare try to be. The communities in which these boys and girls go will be free from riots, wars, and unfriendliness which the world is struggling with to-day, because they are learning the correct way to manage these things. Editor-in-Chief. The purpose of the publication of this volume of The Oriole, is to give the students something by which to remember their school days as well as their teachers and classmates. We have put forth every effort to make this undertaking a success. Notwithstanding the handicaps and mishaps, we are sure you will enjoy this little book which we know will grow dearer to you as the years pass by. We wish to thank all who have contributed in any way in the publication of this annual. The book is presented to you by the Senior Class of I928. Editor.

It is with the greatest pleasure that l accept this duty to which due justice can hardly be given. For one year we have cherished this token without which our struggles would have been in vain. The difficult task which it lightened for us and the numerous ideas which it revealed to us we shall never hope to recall. As time is fleeting We can but here call attention to the untold abundance of brightness with which it has filled our Senior year. We bid you Juniors to consult it in time of doubt or difficulty. Learn to trust its unerring reply which is for your own welfare and that of your fellowmen. Make it your personal duty to apply this talisman to all your unconquerable difficulties and unbear- able burdens and you have our assurance that, this done on your part, the solution, clear and simple, shall lie exposed to view. Not far hence is the time when you shall take our place and not until then shall you see, more clearly than words can express, how this friend never failing shall play a part in your future career. But when this time will have come we trust that you will fill the vacancy made by us in such a manner that no fault or Haw can ever be detected. We have set a standard, Juniors, that is not easily attained. Yet we know that you have the ability to leach this standard both morally and intellectually and urge you to exert yourselves to the utmost of your ability and to take every possible advantage and assure you that the results will be none but satisfactory. it is with the greatest sorrow that we part with this token: the lone star which has guided us through difficulties inconceivable, the assistant which has lightened our burdens unbearable, but dear juniors, we think not first of ourselves and our own welfare but of you and yours. ln accordance therewith take this cane and- ln years to come, when memory leads To bygone days, heroic deeds, Your souls turn back with thought of yore To bliss once yours, but nevermoreg Then, ah, then may you plainly see How useless the struggles of life would be Without this leader, this guide and friend, With always a helping hand to lend. May it awaken the spirit which within you lies, And help you to the topmost round to arise, Guide your footsteps, soothe your fears, Lengthen life's journey, lesson life's tears. May you at awakening on the morrow know no evil pain or sorrow, But rejoice to find your name a permanent place in the Hall of Fame. Bernice Sattler RESPONSE BY JUNIOR PRESIDENT ln behalf of the Class of l929, we accept with great pleasure this cane, which as you have just said is an emblem of success, prosperity and happiness, to the members of H. S. l can assure you that we will regard it with the greatest of care and shall never cease in our struggle to uphold the principle for which it stands. Many hundred pupils, backed by a strong hand and guided by a thoughtful mother have passed from this High School out into the broad world, having learned how to work for their own and others' advan- tages. As we glance over the records we find that they were endowed with the teaching of success, pros- perity and happiness. Probably some of the more important topics were brought home to them at this ceremony as they were to us, the Class of 29. We thank you for the honor of accepting this emblem from so worthy a class as you have proven to be. May you all be as successful in the problems of life as you have been in High School. Next year we shall do all within our power to set a suitable example for all under-classmates. Thus enabling us to hand this untarnished cane on to our successors with even more pride than you have done so. Again we thank you and we shall prove to you that your trust bestowed in us is well founded. Nlearl Kunkler I 4' '- .13 x 1111 1 Q 2 5 lily t 'Ti THE ORIOLE f Salutatory The Class of i928 extends a most cordial greeting to the parents, friends and visitors here to-night who have aided us in successfully completing with honor and triumph, four short years at Quincy High School. We realize that without your help it would have been impossible for us to have reached the crossing of the roads where we now stand. When we meditate upon various events of our lives, there is not one among us to whom the mere mention of the words, New Year's Eve, does not recall some vision of a most treasured or loathed mem- ory. Nloreover, perhaps no two of us would picture the same things. It is then that meetings and part- ings, sorrow and gladness, past and future, loom before us. Then some of us think of the Past Years, others thinlcof the opening of the New Year, and still others of the New Years to come. But friends and classmates, did you ever stop to compare the Evening of the Old Year with the Even- ing of High School life? Those of you have, have some idea of the Dawn of New Era in the lives of those who on this Commencement night cheerfully turn toward whatever future Fate has in store for them. Allow me to picture for you the contrast between the Evening of the Old Year and the Dawn of the New Year. We are standing on the crossroads of life. Numerous roads extend in every direction to attract the youth of to-day. Some lead over hills and rocks of hard work, trials and discouragement to the place called Success. Other roads-Laziness, selfishness, etc., lead us to the place called Failure. The roacl which has led us through H. S. has not always been smooth. There have been times when it has been almost impossible to make the gradeg times when it seemed as though we were going back- wards instead of forward. Sometimes we have been tempted to take a detour to the road-Careless ness, only to find that it led us into the valley of discouragement. We now stand at the forlcs in the road. Few of us will take the same roads. They extend on and on to the place called Success or Failure. The lessons and experiences which we have learned and experi- enced during our four years at H. S. will serve as a map to guide us straight e'en though the road be sometimes steep. They say life is a highway And it's milestones are the years: With here and there a toll gate, Where we pay our way with tears. lt's a rough road and a steep road And it stretches broad and far, But it leads at last to a Colden Town Where Houses BIC... Evelyn Kesson 7 -K, Ill' 19 2 3 My ' THE ORIOLE Class History ln the year l924, early in September, there set sail over the Sea of Knowledge a magnificent fleet proudly bearing aloft floating banners of green and white. This fleet was headed for a far distant land called the Land of Graduation, which could be reached only after a long voyage of four years over this much-traveled, but to them unknown sea. There were four isles-Freshmen, Sophomore, junior and Senior-to be thoroughly explored before reaching this promised land. This fleet was composed of fifty voyagers. The first port reached was Freshmen lsle, there we organized as a class. Our officers were: President, Harold Parkinson, Vice President, Lemoyne Blackmang Treasurer, Ruth Miserg Secretary, Marjorie Tay- lorg Editor, Oliver Gordon: Class Advisor, Miss Ball. Upon this lsle we met with strange kinds of people called Sophomores, juniors, and Seniors with whom we had to become acquainted. We enjoyed several parties and school functions here. After an en- joyable year we Freshmen took our departure for the Sophomore lsle, although some were left behind to be picked up by some other passing fleet. Upon landing, we found that we were no longer Freshmen but Sophomores. Everything was quite different from the Freshmen lsle. After a few days we reorganized and the following officers were chosen: President, Oliver Gordon: Vice President, Violet Kniselyg Treasurer, Eva Gallop, Secretary, Robert Taylorg Editor, Ray Kriserg Class Advisor, Mrs. l-leydon. Here we enjoyed our receptions and several parties. Soon we left for the junior lsle again leaving some unfortunates behind. At last the Junior lsle was reached, and all of the voyagers now landed and spent a very pleasant year. This time our officers were: President, Gladys Globenskyg Vice President, Ernest Knirkg Treas- urer, Lemoyne Blackmang Secretary, Bernice Sattlerg Editor, Oliver Gordong Class Advisor, Mr. Balfour. ln spite of all the hard work and temptations many pleasures and enjoyments were to be found there. The juniors gave a junior-Senior banquet for the Seniors which was enjoyed by both classes. The last and most important isle of all was the Senior lsle which was safely reached by twenty-three of us. This year we chose our officers with unusual care. They were: President, Bernice Sattlerg Vice President, Ernest Knirkg Treasurer, Evelyn Kesson: Secretary, Donald Gouldg Editor, Gladys Globensky: Class Advisor, Nlr. Balfour. Several parties were held, all of them successful. ln December the great event cameg we gave a very successful play, called The Charm School, under the direction of Mr. Bal- four and Mr. Dage. At the end of the fourth year, a long roll, very creditable to the Seniors, was made out, telling who had absorbed the most knowledge during the voyage, and at the end of this same year we found that Senior lsle was also the stepping-off place into the vast territory of Promised Land. The stepping-off place was named Graduation, and a great concourse of people met to watch us take this short journey. And now the four long years have passedg the Freshmen of I924 are the Seniors of l92S. We have had many experiences during our voyage, of which the enjoyable ones far outweigh the unpleasant ones. As we Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping-stone of Graduation, we see many conquests to be made, and we believe that in the future, as in the past, we will show ourselves ready for any test that may be put to us. Gladys Marquart Ruth Wilsoii Eloise Demarest Lena Chase 1 f' .-3 5 Ill' 1 Q 2 8 lily J i THE 012101.52 f v Class Oration Casting no reflections on the statistics brought to light by the Class Prophecy, Class History, and Class Will l feel there are several other items of interest that should be exposed to the general public. Therefore, by a system of my own l have succeeded in collecting these items together to put on record for future reference. For Class so illustrious as this Class of I928 cannot fail to be an example of intelli- gence, industry and general good behavior to those following. Through our Secret Service in general this report was prepared. Therefore l am not responsible for any thrilling facts disclosed. The Class enrollment 23. It is not necessary to read the names of the members as none of them have forgotten that, not even their middle name. Average age is 1815 years. Average height is 5 feet 6 inches. Average weight 135 pounds. Now in order to understand the unusual brilliancy of this Class mention must be made of our ancestors. As a Class we recognize Adam and Eve as our very very great-grand parents. Among the most noted ancestors are Lincoln, Cicero, Napoleon, john Paul jones, Washington, Robinson Crusoe, Noah, Alexan- der the Great, St. Patrick, Virginia Dare and the Emperor of Germany. Sir Robert Hendrick commonly called Bob, claims Virgil as one of his remote grandfathers, which no doubt accounts for his skill in translating that relatives masterpiece The Aeneid, and for his endeavor to be as much like the pious Aenas as possible. Some trace their ancestry to lreland, some to the Teutonic, others to lonia. Eva hav- ing lost track of her family tree can trace her ancestry only to Hodunk and Ona to Southeast Butler. All realize however if the missing links were supplied our ancestry would date back to the lonian race of the jungles. No marriages are reported, and, so far only one engagement. This does not include broken en- gagements. However we all are living in hope, except Harry VanNasdale who regards a mother-in-law a dangerous personage. Every girl of the Class is honorary member of The Royal Order of Do Nothing and the boys are charter members of the United Brotherhood of Loafers. Gwendolyn Salford belongs to the Knock- ers Clubn and Harry VanNasdale is president of the Hayseed Union. Taking the Class as a whole we are well represented in the field of Athletics. The girls in particular delight in preparing lunch for the boys on Field Day as its a good chance to show their ability or dis- ability to cook. Most of the boys favor cards but Clarenceis Dad won't let him play anything except Flinch and l agree there are other things more profitable. Ernest's favorite pastime is Holding Hands that is not his own hands. Eloise's is talking while l enjoy thinking just thinking. LelVloyne's might be dish washing, Donaldis studying, and Gladys Globensky likes best of all EATING. The theater would be the most popular form of amusement if it were not for one serious objection,-the price. The members of the class had several reasons for attending H. S. Some of the more important were, to get out of work at home, to have a good time, to study geometry and Latin, through parental per- suasion and for the benefit of the school, sad to say, there are a few in the Class who don't know yet why they attended High School. Most of our loved ones expect to go on to school. Ruth expects to continue her education at the Kindergarten next winter. Gladys Marquart will take a post-graduate course in domestic science in her lVlother's kitchen. Alice was too modest to give a good opinion of her- self which is but one of her personal weaknesses. Lena's weakness is study although few people know it and Mary Esther does like to sleep, it just can't be helped. Bernice wants to marry a Millionaire or be a Prima Donna, it makes no difference which. We expect to find Clara teaching in the Red-Mud District or some other favorite. Genevieve and Maybelle want to be Latin teachers, we extend sympathy to their pupils. Evelyn is expected to do housework in a family of two. While Emalene's highest aim is to starve and as she is going to be a kitchen mechanic of course she will succeed. Limited time pre- vents me from giving you any more facts regarding this Class. Considering our many sterling qualities our success is quite assured, and each one bids fair to carve for himself a splendid future. And when our history hqbecome a milestone in the history of Quincy High School may the future classes follow our example and leave behind as good a record. Oliver Gordon f f--- ..3 , Ill' 1 Q 2 B lyly ' THE ORIOLE Class Prophecy What's the date today? By George, just ten years ago tonight l graduated from Quincy High School. l wonder what the rest of the gang are doing tonight. Didn't I see something in the paper about one of the graduates of H. S. had just announced his candidacy for president. By George! Here it is: Quincy Herald, june l0, I938: Donald W. Gould of Detroit, Michigan, after a successful career in Broadway theatres, has been per- suaded to turn his good personality that he won on the stage into politics. Well if that isn't a miracle for you. l never expected to see Donald Gould as a politician. Speak of the angels and they're sure to appear. Hello President, how is the elephant coming? Oh, fair, but l am worried as to whom to get for a campaign committee. Say, l have it. The old H. S. gang of '28 ought to be interested enough in one of its old class- mates running for president to turn in and help a little hadn't it? That's a cracking good idea, they're scattered enough throughout the world. By the way do you know where Arthur Balfour is now? Yes. He's the great Lion Tamer in Ringling Brothers Circus, stranded in the city of Colombo on the lsland of Ceylon off the coast,of lndia. And in the meantime playing golf. Have you been reading the Detroit Free Pants Press lately? Yes, what's wrong with it? Did you see that article about Ruth Wilson writing one of the world's best volume of the Elevation of the Soul and do you remember how she hated to write essays or themes back in American Literature class? Elevation of the Soul, huh! l wonder whose soul she is elevating now? Say, you haven't heard anything about Eva Gallop lately, have you? Eva Gallop? Where have you been all these years anyway? Why she is in St. Louis at the head of the firm that manufactures the Gallopin' Good Ginger Snaps, and boy, she sure is raking in the money, now let me tell you. Ginger Snaps puts me in mind of how hungry l was at a ball game in New York last summer. l almost forgot to tell you about Gladys Marquart. She plays on the New York Giants. She is the first woman to invade Prefessional baseball. She plays first base and she is a cracking good one, too. By the way, received a letter from that jolly little Miss Graf, of whom the commercial class all were fond. That little rhyme we fellows dedicated to her still runs through my mind something like this: Alma Graf a nurse shall be, A famous nurse now you shall see She'll Fight her way through this old world With head held high and flag unfurled, And probably save near all our lives With nurse's tools and surgeon's knives And so to Alma let us sing, Who to us, long lives will bring. Yes, l remember that, and what do you know, this prophecy came true as she is at the head of the nurses' staff in a Red Cross Hospital at Petrograd, Russia. Have you seen the head lines in this paper? No, is it something serious? Serious? Boy, that's no name for it. You remember Clarence Hildebrand, don't you? lsuppose you also know he is a multi-millionaire now. just look at this-Clarence Hildebrand, Wall Street, New York, has been sued by his sixth wife for Sl50,000 alimony, and Jim used to be so bashful. My goodness it's a good thing he is wealthy, but who is his wife? LeMoyne Blackman, can you feature that. l wonder if she married him for money or if she's one of those old gold diggers? Did you know that LeMoyne went to Hollywood? She's taking Greta Garbo's place in the movies and has been the rage. l heard that Clarence was her fourth or fifth husband, so divorces aren't new to either of them. Hellol Look at the old college paper. Ann Arbor, Michigan, june IO, l938: The University of Michigan has jxiit acquired its best qualified, most efficient, and the wittiest professor of Chemistry the world has ever known. The Professor grad- uated from Quincy High School in the well known class of '28, and has attended many colleges since. Professor Bernice Sattler has won the good-will of the University's pocket-book as well as the hearts of the men connected with the institution. Hol Hol Professor Bernice Sattler, Hol Hol Professor of Chemistry, winning men's hearts, and Uni- versity pocket-books, who would have thought it. Well, listen to this, here is something about Eloise Demarest. Eloise Demarest taking the leading part in the great stage attraction in Chicago. The play ran for I3 months on Broadway in New York City, where she became famous as a stage actress. Well by hemlock! l never thought that she would be a stage actress.

Why. what's the matter? yell, you know he used to be crazy about aviation. es. - He finally got a plane of his own and as he was Hying over Detroit, something went wrong with it and he came right down on the sidewalk from about 2,000 feet. Gosh, l should think it would have killed him. It probably would have only the sidewalk kind of broke his fall. And now, he is a dealer in second hand airplanes and would you believe it Evelyn Kesson is his stenographer. l hadn't heard where she was until l talked with Harry. He says she is a cracking good one, too. That reminds me when l was in New York, l was driving my car through the heavy traffic and whom do you suppose l saw directing the trafiic? l give up. Ernest Knirk. He a cop? Hal Hal Well, l never expected that of him. Mr. Dage is almost as bad off. Why, what's the matter? ' Mr. Dage is the end man in A1 -Iolson's Minstrel, located on Lindbergh Aerodrome, l,000 miles out in the Atlantic. The Minstrel affords entertainment for waiting passengers. Miss Kibbe is head pilot on a Trans-Atlantic plane which makes regular stops at Lindbergh Aerodrome to give passengers privilege of hearing Al jolson's Minstrel. Do you remember that swell Cadillac Gwendolyn Safford was sporting around in during the last year of high school? Yes, does she still have it? l don't know about that but she is one of New York's wealthiest society leaders, and she has just awarded Ona Boone a Scholar-ship from one of New York's most fashionable boarding schools. And Ona has also won a beauty contest and is going abroad for further study in college and on her face. Talk about good lessons, Lena Chase is giving lessons on How to Reduce. Well we certainly know she didn't need anything like that when she was in Quincy High School. Good luck to you Lena, you're a good type for the work. Where's our old butter and egg man we used to have in high school? Who do you mean? What, have you forgotten Oliver Gordon, the fellow that used to work for Roy Baker? Oh, yes, l remember, l just received a letter from him last week. He said he was down in the jungles of Africa. What's he doing down there? It seems that when he went into that country all the apes in the jungles took a liking for him and at once became his best friends. He taught some of his brightest friends to box and he has staged a con- test down there and the winners he will bring to this country to light Gene Tunney. He says that he can prove evolution to the world by this experiment. And say, who do you suppose he has for his first assistant? l don't know, who is it? Mary Esther Trenary. Oliver says she is a wonderful help in the business, he says that she knows as much about his boxers as he does. Say, you remember Maybelle Taylor and what a busy kid she always was in high school. Well, guess she's still busy as l have heard. What keeps her so busy? Giving talks on How to keep her husband. l saw an advertisement the other day, it read something like this: The world's most famous solo dancer, Robert Hendrick, will introduce to-night at the Broadway Palace his latest production, The Moon Dance. l seem to remember something about that Moon Dance. Oh, l know when Chief Blue Sky visited H. S. he showed to us a dance similar to that. Well, good for old Bob, l always knew he'd do the unexpected. Speaking of the unexpected, you remember that nsparklern Miss Rath used to Hash in our French class? lr meant something after all. Here's a clipping from the Lansing Blizzard -read it yourself. Miss Rath, 'tis a shame- One that could have won such fame, Will settle down and pay the priceg But after all, that's sort of nice- A cozy little Bungalow, A Carden where the roses growg Some laughing children round about, A help-mate kindly and devout. That's right, this summer is when another man goes wrong. im 1 Q 2 8 lfii - ' THE 012101.11-3 f sf By the way, do you know where Genevieve Kesson is and what she is doing now? No, what's that bashful little girl doing? Bashful? Bah! l guess she has changed some from what l have heard. Now she is in Chicago giving lessons to the younger generation on Successful Flirting. They say you can't teach without experi- ence, wonder where she got hers? l have a letter here in my pocket from New York, maybe it will tell us something of our lost class- mates. Why, listen to this: l just learned where you were and thought you might like to know how l am using my high school edu- cation. l am working for Clara From, who owns a beauty shop here, and our specialty is face-lifting. l would like to hear from you. Your classmate, Gladys Globensky.

You can't imagine who it was by. Alice Culbert, one of our old classmates of '28. l thought that, of all things, would be the last thing on earth she would take up. l have just returned home from Paris. Our ship landed at Ellis lsland because it was in quarantine for a case of Poliomyelitis. Passing in line down the gangplank and up in front of the inspectors' office, where yards and yards of Red Tape were being used, one of the fellow passengers, some little distance ahead, got into an argument with the inspection officer who was trying to send the fellow to the pest house. As the discussion became more heated, there seemed something so familiar in the voice of the inspector that l listened attentively. l could not mistake it, as it was none other than Miss Ball of dear old Quincy High School. You well remember our class discussions on the immigration question, in Miss Ball's civics class. Wonder where Emeline Barlow is now. Don't you know? No, where is she? Why, she is down in Texas working in an infantry. She in the army? Hal Hal Ha! Who ever heard of that. Tell another one. Who said anything about the army? Well, you said she was in the infantry. l know l did. What would you call it then? Why she has charge of the hospital for babies. Do you know where Miss Sutton is now? No, where is she? She is at the head of the largest class of critics that the world has ever known. This great institu- tion is located at Hodunk, Michigan. She always was pretty snappy in her criticism in her English class back in Quincy. Robert Hendrick. Ernest Knirk. LeMoyne Blackman. Donald Could.

I fl' -'fl 'Q Ill' 19 2 8 lily - 'T ' THE ORIOLEI Q aledictor Dear friends, my classmates have conferred upon me the great honor of speaking the words that shall bid you welcome here tonight. It is with light hearted feelings that we, as a class, stand to-night at the meeting between a happy past and an unknown future. To-night marks a milestone in our lives. For four years we have been anchored safely in the harbor, protected by our parents, teachers and friends from the strong, sharp gale that blows from the sea of life. ln a few short days, we will pull up our anchor and set sail in the boat, which we have built day by day in high school. Not as a body shall we journey the rest of our lives, as we have for the past years each sharing the others successes and failures. We are now separated by fate's hand. She guides one to the sea of artg one to music, each piloting his own ship. Though the journey may be long and dif- ficult with the swift winds ready to dash our boat on the rocks of failures, we shall head the bow of the ship toward success. But before we decide let us for a moment brieflly review some of the lives of our former graduates. Are they all satisfied with the route they have chosen? Some have gone home to remain until some- thing may call them awayg some have taken up a business course and have entered the business world: others have gone back to the farm: and others are going on with their education. Which of these pat- terns for life seems to be the best and happiest to us? Happiness lies in progressing-in developing a greater character: it is the joy of overcoming: it is the delight of an expanding consciousnessg it is the cry of the eagle mounting upwardg it is found in our work not outside of our work. If we cannot find happiness, we have the wrong work. Let us strive to find the work that fits our talent and stop watching the clock and planning vacations. If you do not like your chosen work of course you will be carrying a terrible burden and will sooner or later collapse. Many people fret away their lives and accomplish nothing because they are not able to reach a definite decision about their life work and then stick to it. Many who have a case already in mind can never be certain what their opinion is, because they seem to be evenly divided and as a result do not count on either side of the issues which confront every one. Midway on the journey is the lsland of the Sirens. Be not persuaded by these sirens to anchor your ship here but tie yourself to the mast as Ulysses did and speed your ship past them. ls our goal so far away? Let us dream our dreams to-day. ln years to come we will always remember with happiness our days, friends and teachers of H. S. When we have obtained success may we renew our high school friendships. Schoolmatesl think not of this class as one that came and went but as one that is always near, wishing you happiness of life. As Tennyson says: U 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world, Push off, and setting in order smite The sounding furrowg for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western skies, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us downg It may be that we shall touch the Happy lsle, And see the great Achilles whom we know, Tho' much is taken, much abidesg and tho' We have not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.

The second day of school a class meeting was held to elect officers and our class advisors. President, Louise Lindsey: Vice President, Ellis Hard: Secretary, Donald Gouldg Treasurer, Mearl Kunklerg Class Advisors, Miss Ball and Miss Hicks. ln October the Sophomores gave a reception in our honor, after which we were not so bashful. During the year several class parties were held, at the homes of Marie Louise Gottschalk, Marion Boley, Arlene Dunton, and Florence Mc- Connell. The next year we were Sophomores, at the beginning of the year there were forty-two in our class. We elected officers, President, Martin Batesg Vice President, Leola Evardg Secretary, Myrtle Hall, Treas- urer Theodore Penoyer: journalist, Grace MacDonald, Class Advisor, Miss Rath. Later another meeting was called at which we chose the class motto Life is what you make it, class colors, blue and whiteg class Hower, lily. Early in the year we gave the Freshman a reception at the l. O. O. F. Hall. Not long after this we held a meeting to decide on what kind of rings we wanted. We selected green gold rings trimmed in white gold, and a cup was presented to the class which was to be given to the Honor student on graduation. About this time we had a sandwich sale, a baked goods sale, and did other things to earn money. Class parties held this year were at the homes of Arlene Dunton, Harold Smith, Theo- dore Penoyer and Olga Gilbert. ln the spring we gave a reception for the teachers. At the end of this year we left with thirty-nine in our class. Now we are juniors. Our class officers are: President, Mearl Kunklerg Vice President, Earl Vannoy: Secretary, Grace MacDonaldg Treasurer, Margaret Smithg Journalist, Martin Batesg Class Advisors, Miss Graf and Miss Rath. Arlene Dunton and Mary Zurbrugg entertained the juniors this year. Before Christmas vacation the rings came and were gladly received. Early in the spring school was closed a week because of the mumps. After we came back we had a sandwich sale, sold pompoms, had a baked goods sale, put on a moving picture showand held a dance at Quincy Grange Hall to get money to give the Seniors a banquet. The banquet was given the latter part of May and was a success. We all enjoyed ourselves very much at the Juniors and Seniors picnic. School closed in june. Everyone welcomed the vacation. 1 f 1 ill? 19 2 a My Page 27 Sophomore Class Front row, left to right Helen l-loughtaling, Audrey Brandt, Esther Blackman, Ruth Blackman, Genevieve Van Atta, Dorris Keeler, Beatrice Gottschalli.

There is an old saying to the effect that, The first hundred years is the hardest, with which we all agree. Although we were shy, we managed to call a class meeting and choose our class advisor and class officers, which were as follows: Advisor, Miss Parry, President, Ruth Blackman, Vice President, Elvin jones: Secretary, Dorothy Hickokg Treasurer, Esther Blackman. The first few days as Freshman left a rather hazy idea of what was to be done and how. And with all the confusion in going back and forth to classes, we were entirely at a loss. But everything gradually became clear and we began to realize what it was all about. Then we found out the other classes were having parties so we followed the style and had a party at the home of our president, Ruth Blackman. We were given a reception by the Sophomores at the l. O. O. F. hall. Here we became better acquainted and tried to feel as important as our fellow students. Soon we became aware of the fact that if we had any intentions of passing we had better settle down to work. So we strove hard to gain the marks that would meet with the approval of teachers and par- ents. ' After Christmas vacation, we were all in high spirits and to continue our good times we immediately had another party at the home of lda May lngram, at Marble Lake. Almost everyone intended to skate but due to the weather conditions, we entertained ourselves indoors. By this time we had lost all traces of being green or shy, but the sophomores, being one step ahead in our journey, still considered themselves superior to us. Another party was planned and held at the home of Helen Houghtaling. A large crowd attended, in- cluding a few prying Seniors and Sophomores who insisted upon bothering us. About this time the Teachers' Reception or Spring Party was given at l. O. O. F. hall. We did not like to think of seeing our beloved teachers depart though some left us for good, others came back to see us through another year of High School. We were immensely elated when we discovered that our class was to celebrate their first class picnic. Wishing to make it as important as possible, the nearby picnic grounds would never do, so we went to Lake james, indiana. The picnic went off great and we returned home satisfied. This capped the climax of our Freshman career, and we were good and ready for our summer vacation. When we entered school the following September we were no longer frivolous Freshmen, but industri- ous Sophomores, as some say. We once more chose our advisor and officers, who are: Advisor, Miss Suttong President, Eddie Hodgeg Vice President, Helen Houghtalingg Secretary, Otto Lucey Treasurer, Esther Blackman. 1 This year we have been more faithful to our studies, because we know work and study only can pro- duce satisfactory standings. But that does not necessarily mean we did not have festivities, because we most certainly started enjoying ourselves in spite of hard work. We first gave the Freshmen a reception. The High School and Faculty were invited. This party proved to be a big success as was reported by those who attended. Other parties of the year were held at the homes of Ruth Blackman and jane Gottschalk. Also, the Juniors invited us to a party held at the home of Arlene Dunton. This compliment was returned by inviting them to the home of Donald Struble. All the members of the Sophomore Class have done their bit in making this a year to be remembered at Quincy High. And we are pleased to think we have made so much progress. Our second year of High School finished, we are eagerly looking forward to the summer vacation, and our honored position as juniors the coming September.

V iva Weatherwax What made the United States great? Natural wealth? Undoubtedly a great factor, but the real reason can be expressed in one word-PEOPLE. The people of the United States represent the best of all the world. The American spirit has taken the best qualities from each division and united them into one great class of people, the American citi- zen, and nowhere in this great country are there persons of greater possibilities than those manifest in the Freshman Classes. True, we are called Freshies, Green, and other endearing names, but that is only natural, for as yet we have done little to distinguish ourselves or our school. But just wait! We've a long stretch ahead of us, and by keeping our eyes and ears open and profiiting by the mistakes of the upper classes, we hope to avoid many of the pitfalls that preceding classes have blundered into.

Gradually they began to come down swifter and swifter until the earth was dressed in the sparkling beauty of mid-winter snow. The beaming sun in all its glory shone of the dazzling white and caused it to glisten like many little polished diamonds. On and on came the flying flakes to give the earth fresh beauty. But suddenly like magic there was a great calm and peacefulnessg it had stopped snowing as if to give the people a chance to inspect its works of wonder on the glorified earth. Helen Houghtaling. SUNSET IN THE MOUNTAIN The glorious sunset in the mountains is one of the most beautiful sights one could ever see. The red sun makes the white snow glisten on the mountain top and sends long shadows of the trees across the mountain stream. The shadow of the mountain in Sthe valley looks like a huge cloud as the sun sets lower and lower behind the great hill. The sky is red above the sun and streaks of blue that seem like a great flight of stairs leading from the mountain to the white clouds. The dazzling sun gives the mountains and the valley a reddish hue, and the radiant rays of the crimson sun become dimmer and dimmer as the dusk falls. Lucile Bennett.

Ill' 1 Q 2 8 Mi Q ' T1-IE: ORIOLE f sf AWAKE What in the world are you going to do this afternoon? asked Mary, as she and Louise came into the sitting room of the cottage in which they were spending the summer. Oh, l don't know, replied Louise, Seeing that we have the cottage fixed the way we want it, l feel content to just sit and finish reading this book. Yes, l know that's just like you, but l'm different. Everyone says that l am the greatest person to talk and ask questions he ever saw, and my conversation is so jumpy he can't get any connection half of the time. lt's a good thing l'm satisfied with myself because if l tried to reform l'd have an awful big job. Oh, boy! but didn't we have a terrible time making that carpenter seal in these walls and the idea of his telling us we ought to have lived about one hundred years ago because we wanted it to smell all piney and have bear skins for rugs: but then it's all done and the cretonne curtains look quite good if l did fix them, said Mary. Louise made no reply and the silence was broken only by the chirping of the canary. Mary at last looked up from her magazine and said in a disgusted tone. Well, if that isn't just like some authors. Now what's the matter? asked Louise looking up from her book. Oh, this Miss White wrote a story about two girls that were staying at a cottage by a lake in the mountains. Marie liked to sit and day dream while Joyce was full of pep. Marie wrote a story unbe- known to Joyce. It was published in a magazine and of course Joyce read it but did not know who the true author was as Marie had used a pen name. ln this particular magazine there was a page containing pictures of the authors. Of course this gave Marie away as Joyce instantly recognized her friend's pic- ture. It ends up with Joyce calling her a genius. Now a story like that couldn't be possible. Let's go for a walk. The sun is setting and the water will be real pretty, said Louise, changing the subject. Oh, all right, agreed Mary. One day about two weeks later as Mary come in from a fishing trip she found a piece of paper on the Floor which she picked up and began to read. Just then Louise en- tered from the kitchen where she had been preparing supper. When she saw what Mary was reading she gave a cry of horror. Mary dropped the paper saying. Now l know why youill never go Fishing with me. By-the-way have any of your stories been ac- cepted? lt's a good thing Miss White didn't hear what l said about her story a while ago. l guess there isn't anything that isn't possible. What would you say if l told you that Miss White did hear exactly what you said? replied Louise. Well, l guess l have been asleep. Why, come to think of it, you even had me in your story and l never recognized myself, answered Mary. Elsie Ransford. SAVING THE FACTORY PLANS It was an ideal night for a murder. The moon was partly hidden behind the heavy rain clouds, the trees, casting their weird shadows across the path whistled as the wind blew, and the fog settled down heavier as time crept on. As Ted Martin walked rapidly along the path, he was thinking how relieved he would be when he reached home, for the movie he had just seen, in town, was a mystery show, The Bloody Hat, had begun to work on his nerves. Crack! Ted stopped. His heart was beating fast with fear, but on looking around he saw that a limb had fallen from a tree back of him. Walking on, he started to whistle, but immediately stopped, for he thought he heard someone mocking him. Soon the darkness began to pound in his ears, his legs seemed to refuse to move. Oh, he thought, lf l had only stayed with Bob, but it was too late now, for he had said he preferred to walk the two miles to his home in the country. What was that dark object ahead? Ted halted. His heart leaped, but the Thing ahead did not move. He took a step ahead, two steps. Suddenly the dark object turned and ran in the opposite direction and a startled moo-came from it. Farmer Boon had again forgotten to put his cow in. After looking all about him, Ted started on. At last he saw his home a few yards distant. Ted started on a run, and on reaching the gate jumped over it. Homel what a relief. Once inside he hurried'to his room. Seeing a note on his dresser, he read it. Dear Ted, father and l are staying with Old Mrs. May- nard tonight. Mother. Ted, almost in tears, jumped onto the bed, clothes and all, and try as he would he could not forget the picture show. The clock struck twelve, and with his hands clutching the bed clothes, he heard the front door slowly open. Foot steps were heard on the bare floor. The steps passed his door, paused, went in the direc- tion of his father's den, and Ted suddenly realized that the intruders were after the new factory plans of which his father was the owner. At the thoughts of the hard work spent on the plans, his courage rose, his mind went back to the show, and how the young boy had tried to save the bank money. Quietly he slipped out of bed. If he could get through the next room he would be able to reach the safe first. He slipped out of the door and across the hall, but the footsteps were returning and he was unable to move. A light was flashed into his face and a loud voice exclaimed, Why, son, what in the world are you doing here? Your Mother stayed with Mrs. Maynard, but l thought l ought not to leave you here alone with the plans. l heard you cross the hall and so l came back, what-H but he stopped for Ted had quietly slipped to the floor in a faint.

Each person has some particular place to go, with some particular task to perform. This is what keeps the most of us from thinking, or trying to think of anything ex- cepting our daily tasks. We do not have time to think of the more important things of life, as to whether we should live as our own mind leads us or to live or to do as others have lived and done for ages and taught us. Children do the things they are told and think nothing of it, because, in fact, they do not think at all. But must we all be classed with children? Cannot we do something by ourselves, without being stoned, ridiculed, or even put to death, to make living for the future generations better? ls it that we are all so narrow minded that we cannot see the successes and the failures of others? ls it that we are going to make the same failures and blunders that others have made for ages without try- ing to correct them, and only have the few unimportant, worn-out, puny successes which mean hardly anything? Are we to be satisfied with doing these things and thinking of nothing else? That is what China has done up until the last few years, and look at the result: she is perhaps the most backward country in the world. Or are we going to be so narrow minded in the other extreme that we will not believe what others tell us or what they have said or tried to do. Must we think that because someone else has said or done some- thing that we must be shown that it is the truth? Are we going to be so foolish ourselves that we will call a man a FOOL, who is SMART enough to come out and show us that if a certain thing is true that something else must be true, which may seem impossible to us at the present? If we were to be either of these extremes l think we should be better off if we were in sympathy with the first. For in this case there is ignorance and as Shakespere said, Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the ignorant more learned. But why be either of these extremes at all? ls the road between these extremes so narrow that it can- not be trod by anyone? If it is then let's step carefully and try to change the width and length. If it is not, then let's look a little to each side and stick to the path with the help of the experiences of others and the thoughts of our own mind. ' Ernest Knirk. THE GAME SHOULDER ln the fall of 1925 jack London of Weston High had been the football sensation of the middle west. A great future had been predicted for him by many noted sport writers and some had even gone so far as to say that l929 would find him on the All-American team. But during the vacation of l926 he had the misfortune to run his roadster into a tree and break his left collar-bone. This accident to use his own words was a mighty tough break that would probably keep him from playing football. After the injured shoulder had healed he unconsciously favored it and this reflected greatly upon his football playing. ln the first game of the season he was a dismal failure. He would start up the line with his old time speed but the minute he hit the line he would begin to squirm around so that he might fall on his right shoulder. He played the first quarter and lost more ground than he gained and then as he limped from the field there came cries of Yellow and Slacker from the stands that used to cheer him to an echo. He watched the next quarter from the bench where he sat with his head in his hands and tears in his eyes. At the beginning of the second half he could stand it no longer. He grasped the coach by the arm and begged to be put in the game. You've lost enough for one game, snapped the coach. And so he sat through the third quarter and he slowly began to leave the Held, but Coach Berry gripped him by the arm and shouted l..ookl Tomkin just caught a long pass and we're on their six yard line with two minutes to playl Can you put it across? Sure, shouted jack as he raced across the field, took his place in the line-up, received the pass from center and smashed the line like an army tank. He had reached the one yard line when Borrelli, two hundred and fifty pound tackle of the opposing team hit him like a torpedo, but even that did not stop himl He twisted from his grasp and fell over the line, on his shoulder with about half of both teams atop him. That evening at the Bridgewell hospital there lay in a white cot a very battered but never-the-less very happy Jack London football toter De Luxe! Charles Parkinson.

Mildred Moore The first initiation was held October l9, l927, at the home of Helen Houghtaling. The regular mem- bers and alumnae came dressed as Roman senators and matrons, while the initiates were clad as slaves. After a short business meeting each initiate demonstrated her abilities proving whether or not she was worthy of becoming a member. Margaret' Smith gave a Roman dance. A song Integer Vitae was sung by Mildred Moore, Louise Cos- carelly and Florence Shumaker. A dialogue was given in Latin by Maxine Wilcox, Viva Weatherwax and Vyrna Rae Taylor. Each initiate was given a favor emblematic of the organization. After the delightful program the initiates were received and united together as members of the club. Another interesting meeting was held April 26, l928, at Mildred Moore's home. We went after school. After reaching there we played a few games and then ate our potluck supper. We had much fun while eating. A business meeting was held after which we had a program as follows: Caesar's personal appearance, given by Florence Shumaker, which was interesting. Maybelle Taylor compared our modern warfare with the ancient. We found out that our warfare is quite ancient. The poem. The Roman of Old, was spoken by jane Gottschalk. She also did very well. Helen Houghtal- ing and Genevieve Van Atta debated on the subject of Caesar in Gaul. It was resolved that Caesar was justified in subduing the Gauls. Genevieve took the affirmative side and Helen the negative. This was the first debate we have ever had in Latin Club so it made it very interesting. Our teacher, Miss Rath, told us about our English forefathers the way Caesar described them. This was quite a long subject and it takes knowledge to be able to do it. Viva Weatherwax, Maxine Wilcox and Mildred Moore gave a dia- logue on the death of Caesar. Like the debate the dialogue was the first we have ever had. For entertainment we had a game where the pupils guessed advertisements pertaining to Latin. We all voted it a very good time.

The Freshmen were noisier than ever that day, While the sophomores stopped giggling for once since last The Juniors' faces were as long as rails And the Seniors' looked harder than spikes,-or nails. To be dismissed, we sat erect in our seats. lt was twelve o'clock, so for home and eats, But, all at once, it popped into my mind, l must get my report card before l could dine. While waiting for a friend, l shivered and shook, But, if l'd had my card, l'd have been afraid to look. My mind was in such a terrible state, That l finally resigned myself to my fate. As we linked arms, l got her one brief glance, As the word Latin stabbed us both like a lance. When in room eight there arose such a clatter, We hurried real fast to see what was the matter. Crowded around the desk the Freshmen stood, Each one talking as hard as he possibly could. Waiting to find the effect of his last appeal Which was By all that is great, give me a square deal. One by one the cards were passed, And one by one the fears were dashed. As my friend and l wandered out of the room, She said Why, this day wasnit really' meant for my doom. And we recalled what we had heard in language sublime, How we would glory our school life in some future time. And our teacher said, as we passed out the door, Good-bye to all, but come back for more. Florence Shumaker.

FRENCH LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE French is one of the eight Romance languages of Europe-beautiful, harmonious, elegant and refined, yet expressive and clear. No man enters diplomatic service without a knowledge of it. Only few girls of England or America are allowed to graduate from a finishing school without French. It is the native language of France as well as being spoken in Canada, Belgium and Switzerland. When Caesar conquered Gaul he found people who spoke a rude Celtic tongue-each tribe using a dif- ferent dialect. Then vulgar Latin was introduced. The Celts and Teutons refined it. The last invaders of France, the Franks, from whom the country and language derived their names, divided France into two parts, north and south according to dialect. ln the twelfth century the Northern dialect used at Paris was accepted as the universal tongue of France. By the end of the seventeenth century the French language was nearly staple, almost the same as to-day. French literature is among the greatest productions of the world. It prevailed and dominated Europe for centuries. It is of the epic and tragic type. First stages of French poetry called, Chansons de geste, Songs of Deeds were folk epics which treated on great national heroes. Arthur and Charle- magne are two such heroes. From eleven hundred to fourteen hundred A. D. Troubadours prevailed in southern France while Trou- veres dominated the north. But little prose had been written, as most of the literature of France thus far was poetry, history in particular. Much was done in the sixteenth century. Rabelais was the life of the Renaissance, Calvin of the Re- formation, and Montaigne represented skepticism. The Seventeenth century is known as the Colden Age. Moliere, Corneille, Racine were important writers of that period. Lafontaine is noted for his matchless fables greatest since the time of Aesop. Madame de Sevigne set up a high standard for letter- writing. Charles Perrault's Mother Goose stories among which are Cinderilla, The Sleeping Beauty. P1185 in Boots and Tom Thumb, are read and admired throughout the world. The literature of the eighteenth century was far inferior to that of the Colden Age, the seventeenth century. Voltaire, the representative of that century produced works which were more destructive than constructive. One author states that he was instrumental in bringing on the French Revolution. Other important writers of the century were Rosseau, Nlontesquieu, Le Sage and Beaumarchais. Writers of the nineteenth century were Chateaubriand and Victor Hugo, Saint Beuve, Gantier, Lowarline, Musset, George Sand, Dumas, Balzac, Daudet, Zola and Nlaupaussant. Victor Hugo was greatest of all of the century's authors. Those of the twentieth century are Sardan, Rostandg Anatole wrote plays, while Renan and Laine wrote histories. Arlene Dunton. ' ill' 1 Q 2 8 iflf ' Page 43 sc gg I ' THE ORIOLE iii HISTORY OF FRANCE When Rome was the center of the civilized world, Gaul, as France was then called, was a notable part of her empire. At the dawn of recorded history most of France was inhabited by the Gauls, a people of Celtic blood. ln the southeast lived the Ligurians, and in the southwest the lberians. Phoenician mer- chants settled on the Mediterranean coast and about 600 B. C. Creek traders founded the colony Nlassilia, modern Marseilles. ln the succeeding centuries Gaul became thoroughly Romanized. Christianity spread from Rome to Gaul and was widely accepted as early as the fourth century. With the decline of the Roman empire, German invaders entered Gaul. Chief among these were the Franks, who established Frankish rule over most of the land. The greatest ruler of the Nlerovingian dy- nasty was Charlemagne. After Charlemagne's death his empire fell into three parts. The western part became the kingdom of France. Some progress was made under Philip Augustus, Louis IX, and Philip IV, but France was in disorganized state in the fourteenth century, when the Hundred Years war broke out with England. A French girl, joan of Arc, became the national heroine by turning the tide against the English, who were finally driven from the soil of France. From this time on, to the eighteenth century, as a whole the nation prospered. ln I763 the Treaty at Paris marked the loss by France both of her great dominions in America and in lndia. ln the World war of l9l4-IS, France gave proof that a democratic government could be efficient. ln the Peace of Versailles, France recovered Alsace Lorraine, and was given the products of rich coal in the Saar valley, as compensation for her own destroyed mines. She was left the dominant power on the continent. Audrey Shoemaker. FRENCH CLUB PROPHECY OF 1927-1928 While on a trip from Quincy, Michigan, to Salt Lake City l stopped at Batavia. l heard people talking of the famous dancing instructor in that town. On inquiring l found it to be my old friend of the French Club, Arlene Dunton. At Elkhart l found that Ellis Hard was operating a hair dressing shop. When l reached Three Rivers l decided to attend a show. To my great surprise l found that one of the acrobats in the Vaudeville was Dorothy Albright. While waiting for my train in Niles l strolled through the park. Sitting on a bench was a nurse maid entertaining two small children. After looking at her again l recognized her to be no other than Audrey Shoemaker. As l passed a shop in South Bend there was a sign on the window saying, Home Made Garments. As there were many beautiful things in the window l entered and found the shop to be owned by Olga Gilbert. While in Chicago l attended an opera that had been recommended to me because the leading charac- ters were so good. I was very much surprised when l saw that they were Ernest Knirk and Bernice Satt- ler, members of the French Club in Quincy. l stopped at a hotel in Peoria. A very neat young lady came to take me to my rooms. It was Gwen- dolyn Safford. On entering the dining room l found that the waitress was no other than Eloise Dem- arest. On stopping at Kansas City l was surprised to find that my old friend Eva Gallop played the pipe organ in the State Theatre, and that Evelyn Kesson was a French teacher in one of the schools there. At Topeka l entered a Ready to wear store. The two models that were sent to show me their dresses proved to be Lena Chase and Clara From. When l reached Colorado Springs there was a large fair in town which l attended. As l passed a side show a man in front said. Come in and see the famous heavy weight. I entered and goodness gracious it was Bob Hendricks. At Denver l went to an art gallery. There was a very beautiful painting and l soon found that it was painted by Gladys Clobensky, who lived in that town. lVly conclusion was that we had certainly had a brilliant French Class.

We began our studies very soon And worked very hard, you see. We always try to do our hestg We really like our work. And when we have to write a test It never pays to shirk. But work is not the only thing, We have our good times too. We like to play, we like to sing, Have parties? Of course we do. Our boys are handy with saw and plane: They made boxes for all our Howers. And now our windows are full of bloom That brighten our study hours. There was a blizzard at Christmas time, The air was filled with snow. And though the room might be ninety-nine It still hung in a row. We gave a program for the P. T. A. And everyone did his best. There were drills, speaking, music, and a play, We enjoyed it as much as the rest. A little bug which causes mumps Came hanging around our room. Around our ears we found some lumps Which swelled out like a balloon. On February twelfth we gave a play, Wayne was Honest Abe. Leola wrote the best essay Although many attempts were made. We had a Valentine party one afternoon, There was pop corn and candy galore. Our teacher gave us each an ice cream cone We ate till we could eat no more. And now the year is almost over, Vacation is nearly here. We are glad that it is coming, For we have worked very hard this year.

During the first two weeks of school we had very warm weather. During this warm weather, the fifth grade children were all invited to attend lsabel Baker's birthday party. Everyone had a very nice time. October Everyone worked hard during October, but at the end of the month each child felt rewarded. First, we had a two-day vacation while all the teachers attended Nl. E. A. Convention in Kalamazoo. On Friday before Hallowe'en, we had a party at school. November Everyone made an intensive study of Armistice Day and its significance to us. Our room was very much interested in football at this time. Then came another two-day vacation for Thanksgiving. December The Christmas spirit filled the entire month of December. The boys from both grades went for a tree. Everyone was looking forward to the holiday vacation. january ' All the boys and girls came back in the very best moods after the vacation. Semester examinations came in january. February The entire school participated in a Lincoln's birthday program. Our classes gave a wreath drill called The Blue and the Cray. During the week-end following, twenty-five of us became ill with the mumps. We had a Valentine Party but there were only seven present. School closed for a week or until a few people recovered. March Earl Wilkinson had the mumps after all the rest of the people had returned. Every day now we hear of a new baseball star or the return of some bird to its northern home. Spring surely is on the way. April April showers bring May flowers is all too true of April this year. We are expecting the flowers soon. We all had a pleasant Easter even though it did snow. We didn't have any Spring vacation because of the time we missed with the mumps. May-june It doesn't seem possible they will be here so soon. We wish to congratulate each boy and girl on each success, sympathize with them in each failure, 'and wish them well in coming years.

We knew what that meant, so we obeyed its summons. We had a new teacher. Everything was con- fusing at first. But soon we began to get used to school life again. We remembered a lot of things we thought we had forgotten during the summer. We found it fun to make our room look cheerful with plants and flowers. The reading table was inter- esting to us. We had never studied Geography as older folks have, so we found out about peoples and countries that were new to us. Sticking things on our product map was especially interesting. We had great fun getting ready for Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oh, that was best of all, because we went up stairs and played the Old Woman in the Shoe. Then came Christmas vacation. Chapter ll . It was nineteen twenty-eight when we came back to school again. Once more we worked hard to gain badges for good spelling, to have our colored maps placed upon the wall for exhibition, and good writing papers, to say nothing of all kinds of posters. Our sand table was remodeled several times. We even edited a newspaper for a time, until we became too busy with other work. For instance we sold Health Stamps and won a First-Aid-Kit. Then came the mumps! That made many of us stay out of school for a long time. At last we were all back together again to finish our happy year. How much wiser we are now. Words mean more to us. We can read them, see through them, divide them, use them and spell them. And how much more we know about numbers too. We can even write well with pen and ink. We have laughed, played and worked together all year. Now we must part and move on. We wonder what is in store for us the coming year. Thus ends our history of l928.

To secure better results under these crowded conditions a Chart Glass was started which accommodated the beginners under six years of age. Mrs. Harry Rogers, who had had training and experience in primary work, was secured to teach them. Under her guidance. this class has proved a decided success and bids fair to become the nucleus of a splendid First Grade next year. Besides spending many happy forenoons together, the children have made good progress in Beacon Gate To Reading, a new book for beginners. My Pages, which accompanies the above book, has proved very instructive as seatwork material. By the end of the year, each child will have a reading book made entirely by himself, and will write his own name thereon. With an enrollment of twenty pupils in both remaining grades, it was necessary to divide both grades into A and B sections, for some of the work. This made the work progress somewhat more slowly, but more attention could be given each child. A great deal of stress has been laid upon phonics around which the Beacon System of Reading is built. This makes for a good foundation in both reading and spelling. The result is especially noticeable in Second Grade Spelling, the pupils becoming quite proficient in this all important subject. ln both grades, good sets of supplementary readers have been available for use in silent reading, also a large quantity of instructive seatwork material, has been enjoyed by the pupils of the second grade, and used each day, form a record of their ability to follow directions of the printed page. Aside from counting number work is postponed till the second grade, where an introduction to formal numbers is given. ' Both grades unite in Language work, which includes stories, poems, and games for the use of correct expressions in English. Health records have been kept by the pupils since school began, and will be put into book-form, these booklets to become the pupils property at the close of school. Holidays have been observed through the study of appropriate pictures, stories, and by programs. On Armistice Day, the children caught something of the spirit of the day, by helping form the parade. A Thanksgiving program was given by the pupils in their own room. Numbers were furnished for Christ- mas, Lincoln Day, and P. T. A. programs in the High School. Each child is asked to take part on some pro- gram during the school year. A number of good books have been added to our Library this year, and they have been greatly enjoyed by the children. Outside reading is encouraged, and pupils are asked to choose, prepare and read appro- priate stories, for the pleasure of others in the room.

The first night of practice there were only fourteen boys who reported, this did not look very incouraging, so the Athletic Association decided to purchase twelve new suits. This made the boys come out to practice and work harder, and also brought new members on to the team to get experience for next year. Much credit will have to be given to our Coach Mr. Dage, considering the material he had to work with. The line was considerably light compared with the other teams, and the baclcfield men were not very often able to find the weak spots in our opponents team. The football team next year will be minus Knirk, Cordon, and Hildebrand, due to graduation, but we hope we can develop the material we have and make a winning team for H. S. Our first game was played at Homer, Sept. 23, which resulted in a severe trouncing for H. S. Homer 33. Q. H. s. o. The next game was with Reading, who also proved to be fatal for the Quincy boys. Oct. 7, Reading 26, H. S. 0. . On Oct. I4, Janesville journeyed to Quincy, both teams fought hard, but Quincy again came out on the small end. jonesville l2, H. S. 0. The next game Union City journeyed to Quincy and the game resulted in a tie. Union City 6, H. S. 6. At this point the Quincy boys meant business, the next game was with Homer, who had once defeated Quincy 33 to 0, but on Nov. 4, we turned the tides with them, which was the first victory for Quincy.

We have had a meeting of the baseball candidates and there were twenty-six boys who reported, which is enough to make two teams and plenty of substitutes ready to fill positions. For the past two years the baseball cup has been claimed by Quincy, and if we can win the cup one more year the cup will remain in Quincy's possession. We have some of our veterans of last year's squad, they are: Elwin Jones who is Captain and who will probably remain at shortstop, Oliver Gordon who has played second base for two years will take up the duty there, Mearl Kunkler will probably take care of third base, and Otto Luce first base, while Clarence Hildebrand will be left to take care of the mound work. We will have to develope an entirely new outfield, for we lost our three outfield men by graduation. We are not able to give the results of our baseball season, but we expect to win the baseball cup for Q. H. S. Our schedule has not yet been made out, but we expect to play Union City, Bronson, Sherwood, Allen, Homer, and Tekonsha.

Mr. Balfour and Mr. Dage were the sponsors of the play. Their efforts were clearly shown in the smoothness of de- tail with which the play was finally presented. The plot of the Charm School, a three act comedy written by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, is based on the inheritance of a girls' school by a young automobile salesman and his subsequent attempt to run it his own way, teaching the girls charm with the aid of four other attractive young men. Al- though having promisedito the contrary, Austin Beavens, the heir, was unable to keep the most charm- ing of the young ladies, Elise Benedotti, from falling in love with him, and as ia consequence he was obliged to withdraw from his educational venture. Their parts Austin and Elise were capably played by Ernest Knirk and Gladys Clobensky. ' Bernice Sattler, as Sally Boyd, was particularly successful in her role of an impulsive, matter-of-fact girl, the real leader of the others in all undertakings, George Boyd, Sally's brother, the young accountant, who had spent his recent years in being in love with Elise, succeeded in producing lots of spirit into his part.' foliver Cordon., David McKenzie, the part taken by Robert Hendrick, took his part well and pleased the audience. Miss Curtis, the part played by LeMoyne Blackman, and Miss Hayes, the part taken by Alice Culbert, were very capably played. Homer johns, Clarence Hildebrand, was very successful in his character in trying to regain the affec- tion of his divorced wife, Miss Hayes. The pupils of the school were the other members of the Senior Class. The entire Senior Class took part in this play. The Senior Class made a good profit from the proceeds of the play.

They offer opportunities for the parents, through programs on home training, child training. current topics of civic and community interest, etcQ, they broaden the teacher's viewpoint and benefit the chil- dren through the co-operation which is here developed between teachers and parents. Parents ought to know the teacher, the teacher ought to know the parents. The children oughtto feel that they are all in sympathy with his problems. Our local Parent-Teachers' Association was organized November, l926, and already there is a more friendly feeling between parents and teachers than has ever before existed in Quincy. Our meetings are largely attended, our programs are the finest along educational lines and child training. It is the aim and desire of the Parent-Teacher Association to create such an interest in the community whereby every person, who is interested in the welfare of his children, or his neighbors' children. will join the association and help in this great educational work. Our Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the high school building. Our motto: Pulling Together Always. Alta Baker. President. PARENTS, KNOW YOUR JOB Thrilled and happy as you may be at the advent of a baby fAnd who wouldn't be exuberant with joy?J You will presently discover that a lot of problems hover Round the rearing of a girl or of a boy. Love can't be your SOLE. reliance-it should aid, not hamper, science And, although your heart with ecstasy may throb, Sense and wisdom too are needed. Here's the motto to be heeded: KNOW YOUR JOB! Building bodies strong and ruddy is a task for toil and study. KNOW YOUR JOB! All your store of deep affection won't achieve a clear complexion If the diet of your little ones is wrong. lgnorance, however tender, seldom brings about the splendor Of a childhood that is gloriously strong. Health, both bodily and mental, isn't something accidental And the child that stands out clearly from the mob ls a prize the world is gaining from a wise parental training. KNOW YOUR JOB! Nothing hit or miss about it. Knowledge wins-don't ever doubt itl KNOW YOUR JOB! Here's a mind and soul you've given to the busy world we live in, Here's a body that is yours to mold and train. Building bone and mind and sinew calls for all the best that's in you, For the finest of your spirit and your brain. lf you'd raise a child that's 'splendid-vigor, joy and beauty blended, Blithe and gallant-neither vulgar nor a snob- Give yourself the preparation for your children's education, KNOW YOUR JOB!
