Time: Ten years hence. Scene: Home of one of the members in New York. (Dorothy seateo at the table writing. She looks up.) Dorothy: I must get this writing done before my guests come. Just think! to be able to see all of old ’20 after ten long years of teaching. Bu I wonder what they have all made of themselves! But I soon shall know. (The door opens and Ben Petrel walks in.) Ben: Well, Dorothy it is an impossible task to find all of our class but I have nearly all of them. I’ve never had such a job since I’ve been on the detec ive agency and I’ve had some stickers in my eight years of service. But at last I found Coell and of all the places. It certainly surpr'sed me. (Sinks into chair and fans himself with his hat.) Dorothy: (excited) Oh, where is she? What is she doing? Is she well? Is she married? Well, my goodness can’t you say some h'ng? Ben: Say something? Why, I couldn’t get a word in edgeways at the rate you were talking. But you will have to be content in your ignorance for a while because I’m not going to tell you anything about her. She ought to be here before long tho. Dorothy: Well I wish SOMEONE would come. (Gets up end va!H the floor). This is getting on my nerves. (The door opens and a g'rl walks in engrossed in drawing something on a pad of paper. She comes to md-d'e of floor and looks up.) Alice: I guess this is the place. What a romanfiic scene. I’ll have to draw it. Dorothy: (going to her) Alice, is it you or your ghost? Alice: (turning) Why, Dorothy Reed, of all the surpr!ses. Ben d'dn’t hell me where I was going, just gave me this address and told me o be here. (Sees Ben) Why here he is! Well, Ben, this is one turn I’ll never forget. Dorothy: But I must get back to my dear cherubs. Ben, I’ll rust Alice and you to hold my guests until my kindergarten is dismissed. (Exit) (At 'he same instant some one backs thru the window into the room watching the window.) Freda: I guess I’ve given him the slip that time. (She bumps in'o Al'ce who has come forward to see what has happened. She gives a scream and turns around with a look of anger.) Well, you needn’i knock a fellow ove -----Why, Alice Clarke, put it there, where did you drop from? (Alice’s look gives way ta one of blank astonishment as she extends her hand.) Alice: Freda Hill, have you just escaped from an asylum, are you in light comedy and still in costume or why the outfit? Freda: (Looking toward the window again in terror) Oh, that reminds me. You see I’m maid to a swell lady who lives up the street and so when she went downtown I just thought ‘Well, Freda, here’s where you get a chance to doll up in some swell clothes.’ So I put these on and I started down street just as independent as you please when who should I see but HER coming back for something. Well, I just turned and beat it just as hard as I could and that flirt of a policeman took after me and I saw h window open and in I piled. I suppose this will send me up for ten years. (Sinks into a chair dejectedly.) Freda: Looks like an autumn landscape to me. But you didn’t give me time to speak to Ben. I didn’t know the misplaced eyebrow. (Extends hand) So you re a regular Sherlock Holmes now, are you? Ben: (throwing out chest) Well, I haven’t done so bad, but—whv here he is now. (A policeman enters by the window and crosses to Freda laying hand on her shoulder. He, too, then looks astonished as Freda turns to him) Homer: Well, sufferin’ catfish! to think I’d be arresting my old class- mate. Freda: (joyfully) Now, I know I won’t be arrested. But, Homer, now is it that you are a policeman? When I last heard from you six years ago you were in college studying to be a doctor. (Alice stands off sketching them) Homer: Well, you see, I got married and I had to keep my wife some way. ?en,: „ our w'fe-' Why Homer, I didn’t know that you weremarried. Who is she? Homer: I married a nurse---- Freda Who is she? Bring her here till we can see her. Homer: I’m not going to tell you who she is. That is my surprise. fc he is still working at her profession (looks embarrassed) You know a policeman doesn’t make the best wages in the world. But I’ll bring her up after she is off duty. i- � ' Well, I’m glad we got you here some way, Homer. You wouldn’t listen the other day; but there is a reunion here today of old '20 and this is Dorothy s home. But hurry back. IHomer exit) (Alice has gone to another window and is looking out sketching) Freda: Homer, here is Alice, (but Homer is gone) (The door opens a.i?lr ,walks in mannishly dressed. All three look at her for an instant then the girls make a rush for her and Ben advances to her.) Edith W.: Well, of all things! You need not smother me. Alice: Edith, don’t you know us? Aren’t you here for the reunion? Edith: Why, it’s Alice, and Freda, and Ben! (Extends hand to each as she speaks) No, I know nothing of a reunion. I was called here to attend a sick Persian cat belonging to a Miss Reed. Ben: How odd, I left word at your house this morning with the servants and-------------- Edith: Oh, then that explains it! I’ve been busy making calls and haven’t been home since early this morning. But this settles business for to-day. Alice: You’re a dream in that costume, Edith. Let me sketch you. (She leads her to a chair and seats her. Goes off a piece) Hold your head higher and don’t f rown so. There, perfect! (Draws) Oh, what an expression—(interrupted by a man and woman walking in quarreling) 24 Edward P.: But, Doris, this can’t be the place. So shabby, don’t you know. (adjusts monocle) v Doris: I believe I said before, Edward, that this was the place, so we won’t discuss it. Edward: Quite so, my dear, quite so. Perhaps you’re right. Doris: Of course I’m right. I’m always right. I don’t know how you would ever get along without me. I-----------(She bumps into Alice as they come forward.) Alice: I protest! You people seem to be extremely fond of bumping into me. ' 1 I ‘ . y,’ '. Doris: Well, if it isn’t—(seeing the others) well my stars! Now,Edward, you see I was right. fk. Edward: (hurriedly) quite so, my dear, quite so. I. . • • Doris: (to all) You see when Ben told us of the reunion we (point- ing to herself) decided to come. Didn’t we Edward? . Edward: Yes, my dear. We (pointing to Doris) decided to come. Alice: Ben, when is Coell coming? Ben: I think she will be here on the eastern limited before long now. « 1 ;' Alice: I’ll just go down and meet her then. Don’t let anyone Teave till I relurn. (Starts to door) Edith: (who has been looking on in amazement) And I’m going with you. I want to collect my senses. Maybe some fresh air will help me. Freda: Say, I’m going to slide in the back door and change my clothes. Wait a minute and I’ll go with you. Alice: Well, then hurry before anyone sees you. One would think hat you belonged to a circus. (Exeunt) (Doris wanders about examining things and Edward follows her. Ben goes to the door and looks out.) Ben: Here comes two of our old class whom I think you would scarce- ly recogn;ze. (Doris and Edward rush to the door as two girls enter dressed very gaudily and chewing gum.) Myrtle: Do you reckon this was the place Trix—well, heavens to pat- sy, look who’s here. Say. I’ll bet you two are married. Edward: Well, you see we—that is, Doris and I-er-ahem—agreed to get married. Didn’t we, Doris? Doris: Yes, Edward. But what are you girls doing to be dressed up so hideously? Kathleen: Huh, guess she doesn’t know when she is looking at the lat- est styles on Broadway, does she Floss? Remember, please, that my name is now Trixie Gwynne and my partner here is Flossie Vincent. Doris: Thank heavens, you did have the common sense not to subject your old respectable names to such giddy creatures as you now seem to be. Kathleen: (airily) I see you can’t appreciate us two. But if you come down to the best theatre in New York you’ll see us perform and maybe you’ll change your mind. We’re two of the best to be found in vaudeville. 25 The Racina Ben: (Has been reading paper and jumps up excitedly) Would you please listen to this? (Reads) ‘A rising young poet is making her appearance in society circles. Her depth and eloquence of expression have been recognized by all the great critics of the dhy. A stanza from one of her simple unaffected poems is reproduced to show her originality of subject matter. It reads: I have the blues, I know not why I feel so bad, I just could die It seems so bad it should be so But it is true, where’er I go. No, I’m not going to tell you who she is, but I’m going after her and make some other arrangements. I have sent for Mile. Caquot who has just returned from Europe to come up and give us some of her classical danes, so if she comes before I return make her feel at home. (Exit) Myrtle: Sure, we can do that can’t we Trix? I hope she has some new steps to teach us. (The girls wander about examining things and Dons and Ed look on in amazement) Say, this is some place! Kathleen: Yes. if it iust had some bright cushions and a few trim- mings. Can’t you imagine that chair done in turquoise blue and that window draped with real honest-to-goodness red velvet. Doris: Disgusting, isn’t it Edward? Edward: Quite so, my dear, quite so. (Knock is heard on the door and both rush to it. A Salvation Army lassie and a well-dressed man enter) Kathleen: Good afternoon. Come in if this is the place you’re look- ing for. Ruth D.: Why this isn’t,no, this couldn’t be Kathleen Bentz. Kathleen: N° THIS is now Miss Trixie Gwynne and this is mv pal Miss Flossie Vincent, at your service, (she curtsied) Ben S.: (Coming forward with Ruth) What changes can be made in ten years! I never expected to see you girls so different. What are you doing now? Myrtle: (linking arms with Kathleen) Oh, we’re in vaudeville now. Ruth: (seeing Doris and Edward) Now, this is a delightful sur- prise. I haven’t seen you two since you were married. Ben: Nor I, and just think how long that’s been. Seven years. Doris: And how short it has seemed hasn’t it Edward? Ed.: Quite short, my dear, quite short. (Myrtle and Kathleen look at each other in disgust.) Edward: (turning to Ben) But, what are you doing now, Ben. What trophies have you gathered for old ’20. Ben: I am at last realizing my boyhood ambitions and I’m now real- ly practicing law with great success. Doris: Edward, let us go and sit on the fire escape and watch the sun- set. Edward: Certainly, my dear, certainly. (They go out thru the win- dow.) (Door opens and a woman rather foreign looking in dress enters. She comes forward.) Mary C.: Could you please tell me if--ma foi, you can’t be, you aren’t Ben Spencer and Ruth DeWolfe? Ru h: Why, Mary Crooks what-------- 26 Mary Mile. Caquot, if you please. Perhaps you have heard my name before. My classical dances are very well known both in America and Europe. Ben: Not THE Mile. Caquot? Mary: The same (bows slightly) Myrtle: Say, would you mind teaching Trix and I a few of those steps? Mary: (looking at them in surprise) Why, how odd, I didn’t recog- nize you two. Of course I’ll be glad to oblige anyone from old ’20. Is there a room handy? Kathleen: There’s the bedroom in there. We might use it. Mary: Fine, make haste, girls, before all the guests arrive. (Exeunt) Ben: Well, would you ever think that ten years could work such won- ders? Ruth: I really do not know whether I’m dreaming or not. I wish we had them down to the mission for several nights. It grieves me so much to see any of our class be so worldy. (Voices heard outside and door opens admitting Alice, Freda, and a woman dressed severely in a traveling costume and a man in sport clothes) Coell: So this is where Dorothy lives. How comfortable! No one but a missionary knows how to appreciate such aplace after five years of h rd work among the natives of China and India. Dillon: I ought not to have left when I did. I suppose I’ll be dis- charged but the thots of this reunion were more than I could resist. (Ruth and Ben come forward) Ruth: Why, it’s Coell and Dillon! (Alice has gone to the window. She g'ves a start as tho having seen something and starts sketching) Ben: What are you doing now, Dillon, to make old R. H S. proud of you? Dillon: Why, I’ve been athletic director at Yale for five years now. Ruth: There, I knew it. I always predicted something like that for you, Dillon. I wish we had YOU down at the mission. Coell: Well, I know for one thing that there’s no danger of him los- ing his job. Dillon’s all the rage over there. (Freda has followed Alice to the window. She looks over her shoulder and breaks into a broad grin) (Two girls enter, one in a sport costume, and the other rather plain in dress.) Ora: Hello, everybody! I’m here, but I can’t stay long because I cannot leave my farm. Coell: (grasps her arm) Ora, don’t say that you have married a mere man and are wasting your life on a farm. Ora: Well, I should say not, my farm is run on a strictly scientific bas's by women and women only. Ruth: Oh, I’m so glad! Frances: You don’t seem to see me so I guess I’ll have to establish my identity. I was out to visit Ora last week on my vacation and you should see her farm, and I have to be surrounded by four walls all day long. 2 7 Ruth: (startled) You haven’t succumbed too, have you Frances? Frances: Are you talking of marriage? I’d like to know what is so terrible about that? I think marriage'is very nice, it— Coell: It’s drudgery and hard work and bondage, the world to help your fellowman. Your place is in Ben: Coell’s getting wound up now and doesn’t it remind you of your senior years? Ora: Don’t Ben, remembrance of our school days only makes us sad to think how far apart we are now. Frances: Far apart! Our old senior class! Never! Why, I’ll always love to think of R. H. S. and no matter where I am it always makes all the kindly feelings I possess to rise to the surface. Dillon: You’ve about said it, Frances. Ruth: But you never gave Frances a chance to explain those sur- rounding walls of which she spoke. Frances: And I forgot to tell you! I’m teaching Latin at Vassar. Coell: Vassar? Well, we are all making our places in the world af- ter all, aren’t we? Ben: Well, I should say so. But where are the others? (A woman has entered while he is speakign dressed in a severe uniform.) Winifred: Well, here I am and I want to now if this is old 1920 or her ghost? Would someone please enlighten me? (She sets down her paraphernalia.) Ruth: (going to her) Of course we will. You are now in the midst ofa class reunion of 1920 .only all have not yet arrived; so make yourself at home. Winifred: Now. f this isn’t luck, bu . you know, I came here on busi- ness; I’m chief food insepc or of New York City and I was called here by a Miss Reed to examine milk which she th:nks poisoned her Persian cat. Coell: Well, Winifred, don’t you know who Miss Reed is? It’s Dor- othy and she and Ben Petrel have at last gotten together and planned a reunion for our class. Winifred: I’m awfully glad—but the catf it is my duty------ Ora: Oh, stop talking about, that cat.. This is a reunion. (Homer .appeals thru the. window followed by a woman in a nurse’s costume.) •hr Homer: Now, Edith, this is your surprise. • Edith C: Why, it couldn’t be-- Coell: (rushing to her and giving her a hard squeeze) and we’re almost all here. Edith: Well, I’ll swan, it’s almost too good to be true. Ben: But where are Doris and Ed? Alice: I think you’ll find them out on the fire escape, sketch of them here. Homer: Was it they whom I saw as I came in? Well, it is I have a fine 28 -The Racina Edith: We saw two people sitting there. But they were so engross- ed in each other that thev did not see us. But I can understand why they should act that way. (She looks meaningly at Homer) Freda: Isn’t it nice to have four anyway married in our class. Coell: Edith, I never thot you would. Edith: Never thot I’d get married? Well, you’ve got another thot coming then. But then of course some people never get a chance to. Dillon: We sure are glad that some of us got a chance anyway. (Edith W. rushes in) Edith W.: Are you all here yet? I thot of a call I had to make and forgot all about coming back till a few minutes ago, so I gave him a dose of sleeping powders and here I am. (Doris and Ed come in from the window and stop short at seeing the crowd. Myrtle and Kathleen and Mary dance gaily out from the bedroom and also stop short. Then the door opens and Dorothy and Ben Petrel enter accompanied by a stylishly dressed young lady.) Dorothy: Well, it looks as tho you were all here and look whom we captured. Ben Petrel: Yes, behold! the one whose hand guided the pen which wrote those sweet lines I read to you this afternoon. Ora: Not our Everell? Everell: Yes, Ben came down to my apartments like ‘a bat on the wings of night’ and told me to come right up here and be prepared to recite somethin ? appropriate for the occasion. I have it nearly all composed. Would you like to hear it? All: Yes, yes. Everell: (Coming to the front, clasping her hands and assuming a pose) Very well, I have called it ‘Bring Back My Golden Sch°ol Days.’ Dorothy: But wait, is everyone here? Ben P.: (looking around) I’m sorry Dorothy, but there is still one that I have not found and that is---- All: Delbert Morris. (Delbert rushes in with a pad and pencil in his hand.) Delbert: Did I hear my name called? Something seemed strangely familiar in the sound. I am reporter for the New York Sun and I heard that there was going to be| a reunion of some sort up here._ (He '•ornes forward and looks closer. A look of amazement dawns on his face.) Why, I believe there is a reunion of--- All: 1920. Dorothy: (leading Everell again to the center) Now. 29 Everell: Just at dusk as I was sitting In an attitude of repose, A briny tear, it left my lashes, And slowly trickled down my nose, For my thots were slowly turning, Like the salty tear did show. And my heart was yearning, yearning, Yearning like a red, red rose, Memories crowded thick upon me, Of my school-day youthful beaux, And my heart was beating, beating, And resounding to my toes. Oh, to be a child I thot then, But, alas! life has its woes, And I never can return there. Where I once bloomed like a rose. So my fate was sealed and written And my sad heart ceased to moan And reusmed its usual pit-pat Tho my youth was lost and gone. (She recites this with gestures) (All applaud) Edward: There is just one thing lacking. Do you suppose that we could remember our old class yell? Delbert: Sure we could. Let’s see. Who was our cheer leader? Doris: Why, Coell; don’t you remember how she used to get out in front of us and wave her arms about and yell? Alice: Yes, and I’ll bet she hasn't lost any of her vocal powers if she has been preaching to the natives of India and China for five years. Freda: I’d imagine our Salvation Army lassie would have powerful lungs, too. Ruth got two medals over in France, didn’t you, Ruth? Ruth: Yes, but not for yelling. Dorothy: All right, then Coell get out there and lead our old class (Coell takes her position and they give the yell. Alice moves forward and starts drawing them. Delbert is writing and others are grouped around in a semicircle.) Curtain Dorothy Reed. 30 Class H ong 1. Hark! hark! hark! to the call from the deep, Our High School must us no longer keep; We’re ready to sail upon the sea, And each in our own craft We Will steer for our victory. Chorus. Sailing out on the sea of life we glide, Gently we float upon the swelling tide, Happy are we as are the birds that fly Away up there above so high. But dear old R. H. S. we think of you And of our dear old class of twenty, too, E’er to you we’ll cling, Your praises we’ll sing, As we sail far, far, away. 2. Our High School course we’ve finished at last, Our mathematics and Latin are past. Here’s good-bye to French and algebra And to the last of geometry; it’s us to the fray. 3. Lear Alma Mat r, with you we’re thru, But to your memory we’ll e’er be true. Our happiest days with you we’ve passed, But now we must say good-bye, And think of you to the last. 31 Edith Curtis ’20. The Racina■ CLASS POEM. Dear friends, it’s time to say good-bye To R. H. S. so dear; Tears are in every Senior’s eyes, For parting time is here. Farewell, Racine, we leave you now On life’s broad highway cast, But we will always cherish dear Fond memories of the past. A warm love lingers in our hearts, Your praises ever speaking, And as we journey far from you, Our hearts, they will be breaking. There is one way by which to pay Our due regards to you, That is to work, that all may know We’re honest brave and true. If some should falter by the way, Let them but think of thee. And you will guide them onward safe Onward to victory. And now dear classmates let us try To do uor very best For in this way we’ll honor bring To dear old R. H. S. Our teachers, let us think of them, Our kindest, truest friends, Who’ve tried to guide us in the right And all our faults to mend. Now classmates we must say good-bye And start on life’s pathway, But let us hope in Racine High To meet again some day. 32 Edward Foster ’20 SENIOR HISTORY AND PROPHECY ALICE CLARKE—Arti.t After a year’s study at Graham Art School, Alice started out on the troubled seas of an artist’s life. She is now living a rather secluded life in the suburbs of New York. She has become a famous painter of men’s heads and her last one entitled ‘Ashael’ was exhibited not long ago and stood the test of the most renowned critics. EDITH WILCOXEN—Physician This happy-go-lucky young lady enjoys a luckily chosen profession. She is chief surgeno at the Kill and Cure All Hospital. Her specialty 's the patching up of wounds caused by Cupid’s arrows, especially in the stronger sex at R. H. S. She analyzed all our cases and published a book on, ‘Strange Cases of Strange People’ COELL JIVIDEN—Missionary Since her return from India Coell has made a tour of the entire United States. She exhibits curios procured from the natives of India. Her great speaking ability which she usues to win young men to her cause was acquired at R. H. S. while talking for Woman Suffrage. FREDA HILL—Maid “Card please” and with a dimpled smile, Freda tripped up to her mistress’ boudoir. She is Mrs. John D. D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s favorite maid and has been several years in |ier service. Freda: ‘Being a maid is fco exciting, one sees so many gentlemen.’ She always was known for flirting at Racine. KATHLEEN BENTZ—Chorus Girl No one ever dreamed of quiet Kathleen becoming a chorus girl but she did. She is one of the famous ‘Ziegfield Follies’ and her vamping qualities have all come to the surface. Racine is all agog with the news that she will be at the theatre next Monday night. 33 Policeman On patrol on Broadway, New' York, Homer has won quite a reputation for flirting: and chasing: pickpockets. So many fair vamps pass his way that his head moves as on a pivot. Altho he flirts with each and every one he is still true to his wife Edith. He lately earned a reward of $30,000 by capturing “Slim Jim” the famous pickpocket. MYRTLE MUMAW— n. Chrous Girl Mam’selle Myrtle has become a leader of the Bonemian set nf New York. As a chorus girl she has won the hearts of all New York. Her wonderful voice holds her audience spellbound when it soars heavenward. It is rumored that she is Engaged to a young millionaire from Wall street. EDITH CIIRTIS-Nurse She always was observant of our every ache and pain. Her great sympathy with those disappointed in love has led her to establish a home for 'he aid of cracked hearts. She is head nurse and her patients persist in losing their hearts again. She pays no attention whatever to her manly young patients for she has a husband. PEN PETREL— Dete.ctive Since Ben’s boyhood day he has always had a great ability at solving detective problems. After leaving Racine he went to New York and after ’a year or two became equal to Sherlock Holmes. Only a few days ago he received $300,000 for the recovery of a diamond necklace belonging to Miss Ima Pullaski. DOROTHY REED— Kindergarten Teacher Her childish and winning ways make her an excellent kindergarten teacher. At present her private school is the best in New' York and is patronized by the wealthiest families in Wall street. The new Reed method is now used almost universally. • v • 34 DORIS SAYRE AND EDWARD FOSTER—Married In high school we all knew Ed admired Doris, but it was always from afar. Then Ed woke up to the fact that “faint heart ne’er won a fair lady,” so now they are married. Doris is a model wife, but we rather think she keeps Ed straight. In spite of this Ed has grown quite fat, and has acquired a double chin. 'The funniest thing about Ed and Doris is, that when Ed complains of feeling bad, Doris makes him take a big dose of worm medicine she keeps on hand for the children. MARY CROOKS—Dancing Mistress We all thought Mary would be a teacher, and so she has turned out to be but not the kind of a teacher we thot she would be. We supposed she would be a prim and stern schoolmam in corkscrew curls, handing out geography and arithmetic, but lo! in filmy and diaphanous draperies she teaches young ladies to be graceful. DELBERT MORRIS—Reporter Nowadays, Delbert is usually seen at some ball or fashionable wedding for he is chief reporter for the New York Sun. Delbert dotes on weddings, and the editor of the Sun says he excels in describing a bride’s costume. He also writes up scandals and divorce cases. Whatever he does he does earnestly. EVERELL PICKENS—Poet Everell of the golden curls and dreamy eyes—we used to wonder what lay behind that faraway look— perhaps near Rutland, but little did iwe dream that she aspired to be a poet, and now her verses charm the multitude and we kneel in homage at her feet. PEN SPENCER—Lawyer Ben is now a successful lawyer in the great city. Ben works hard during the dav but in the evening he ig generally seen waiting at some stage door, dressed in faultless evening clothes with a huge bunch of violets or orchids. Ben is still unmarried, strange to say, for back in High School days—well—we thot. 35 ORA HILL—Farmerette •■•••� f Her classmates would scarcely recognize Ora now, in her straw hat and overalls with a hoe or rake on her shoulder. Ora has gone in for truck gardening, and she now raises onions and radishes as earnestly as she used to work her physics problems and study her Virgil back in Racine High. -Athletic Director DILLON CROSS-at Yale In High School D was always among the foremost in athletics, and we used to marvel at some of his brilliant plays in tennis. Everyone knew he would some day be great in the athletic world, and now he is athletic instructor at Yale. He onlv has one shortcoming; he will flirt something awful. I-RUTH DeWOLFE—Salvation Army Lassie ■ ' t Ruth has indeed found her life’s work for we remember how she uged to gather up the stray dogs, and babies and comfort them. Sad to say Ruth will still flirt, but we will forgive her for that. She has two mpd-als for her work in France and there is a whisper that a handsome French soldier is coming to America as soon as he is discharged—but that is too long a story. WINIFRED GIBBS—Food Inspector of New York City Winifred has surprised us all in choosing her life work. We thought she would be married long before this, for back in Racine High she used to have such a string of beaux, she couldn’t remember them all, but she has declined all offers of marriage so that she can see that the people of New York have pure food. FRANCES FOSTER—Latin Teacher at Vassar. We all agreed that Frances Foster was the prettiest girl in the Senior class, but she is not like lots of pretty girls—a pretty face without much sense. We remember the almost perfect Latin papers she used to hand in, and now we know what she striving for. For now she is a Latin teacher at Vassar, and the prettiest member of the faculty. 36 37 SENIOR PLAY- CAST OF CHARACTERS. CAST OF CHARACTERS. Robert Preston, A Lawyer......................

'SrW' phold! how vast and almost unconceivable a transformation has been wrought by the passing of only a few’ short years. We, the weak, frail, sickly-looking Freshmen of only three short years ago have blossomed into the full bloom of young manhood and womanhood, and now bear the proud title of “Juniors.” The old quotation, “Good goods are done up in small packages” pertains directly to the Junior class, which, tho small in number is by far the most intellectually, theatrically and morally inclined class in the Racine High. Because of our scholarly attainments, the emerald and gold hangs above the others on the High School walls. But you might imagine that such a scholarly and refined body of students would attain much in the field of athletic sports; well, we have not done so but have always cheered on and en-uraged these who contend for those petty honors while we were content to win laurels of a more intellectual kind. That little monster, Dan Cupid, has never hovered near the heart of any member of our class, causing fluttering movements and occasional heartaches. We knew he was the greatest hindrance to good scholarship. Not all has been easy traveling but as we look back over the three years of our High School course, we see a well-trodden trail with a few teardrops mingled with the dust of the passing years. ‘Old ’21 is bound to win, Green and gold has stood the test, When our Senior year is done, We can say we are the best.

At first we were timid and reserved but later we threw off that weighty mantle of timidity and joined our fellow-students in the athletic exerci es. We began with the expectation of making a successful record for the year which we did as well as could be expected considering the circumstances. We entered our Sophomore year with more assurance of our standing and with no returning of the old timidity and bashfulness (especially with some) we turned again to our studies. Athletics being resumed we took part in them. Though our number was diminished by the loss of two we were still the same jolly class ready to do our part. On account of the influenza we did not have an opportunity to display fie dramatic abilities of the members of our class. As we expect to become Juniors in the following year we hope to come into the limelight then. Next, we are ambitious to leave Racine High School properly by leaving a well-earned record behind.

MU way back centuries ago the fates decreed that in the year nineteen hundred twenty-three A. D. the most brilliant class that ever was heard of or ever wiould be heard of would graduate from Racine High school. Accordingly in the vear nineteen-hundred eleven a new brick building was erected for the benefit of that class. About that time some of the future great men and women entered the primary rooms of the country around about for the purpose of developing their minds. They prospered well. And in nineteen hundred and nineteen they found themselves prepared to enter High School. All this time some teachers were studying and although they did not know it were preparing themselves to teach this class. In September of nineteen hundred and nineteen we entered High School. The teachers are always telling us that we do better than ai—ither cla°s has done. But we must stick to it and come out victorious in nineteen hundred and twenty three.

On October 6, 1919, the pupils of the High School elected two captains, Alice Clarke and Winifred Gibbs, for the purpose of organizing two societies, which were later called the Racinian and Clionian. Each society met and after some little discussion, organized by electing officers to serve a term for the I Racinian the fol-following were elected: President: Ben Spencer; Vice President, Edith Wilcox- en; Secretary, Stanley Roush. Several programs consisting of dialogues, debates, readings, etc., have been rendered on alternate Friday afternoons. Much intere-t was taken in our literary work and we hope to do more in this line later. In the Clionian, the election resulted as follows: President, Dorothy Reed; Vice President, Edith Curtis; Secretary. Kathryn Wilcoxen. This society rendered programs similar to the other and took an equal decree of interest in their work. On Thursday evening, January 15, 1920, the two societies combined in rendering a program to the public. The following is the program: Music_______________________________________ H. S.

September ’19: The first social event of the season was held on Friday evening, September 19th, at the High School rooms. Almost every student of the High Shcool and the teachers from the High and the Grades were present. The invited guests were the Rutland High School teachers and students. A pot luck lunch was served to which all did ample justice The prize given to the biggest eater was awarded to Arthur Stobert, our largest Freshman youth. OCTOBER. This gathering was managed by the Juniors, their guests being the Sophomores and Freshmen. The evening was spent in games and contests. NOVEMBER. This was in the form of a ghost party in which all the classes participated. The rooms were dimly lighted and everyone was dressed in a white costume. A shudder and then a sigh was the chief amusement of the evening. All report a fine shaky time. About fifty of our High School students including the teacher responded to an invitation from the Rutland Hi and hied hence in autos to their High School rooms, Friday evening, ov. 14th and oh! the time we had. Plenty to eat and not at all bashful. This was an event which will long be remembered. One of our timid, little Sophomore boys caused us much excitement coming home. He took his hand from the steering wheel (we know not why) and “We, we got upsot.” A taffy pull at the home of Dorothy Reed was another Senior event. Taffy galore! DECEMBER. On December 12th the Seniors of R. H. S. entertained the Rutland Seniors. There were no eats but plenty of drinks— punch being the main standby of this class. The next event was a party given on December 19 by the 64 Sophomores in honor of the Junior and Freshman classes. Games of all sorts were enjoyed. MARCH. The “Flu Ban” which was placed on our school put a stop to all social gatherings during January and February. Then the March Calendar opened up with a party for the Senior class at the home of Alice Clarke, a member of the class. Dancing was the main feature of the evening. APRIL. Coell Jividen, ’20 entertained the Seniors at her beautiful home below the village. Coell certainly knows how to entertain and we will never forget the good time. The eats, well, those who were there know how good they tasted. Games galore. Seniors spent a long-to-be-remembered evening at the home of Carl Cross, ’21 on April 20. This was given by Juniors as the Junior-Senior banquet. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM. Miss Smiley, Dorothy Reed, Doris Ruth DeWolfe, Kathleen Bentz. Sayre, Coell Jividen, BOYS’ BASKET BALL TEAM.

Owing to the fact, that we this year have been handicapped very much fro mthe lack of a place to play, we failed to reorganize our basket ball team suntil late in th season. But we are all proud to say when we reorganized it meant something in our athletic career. We were well aware of the fact that, we lost some good players in the class of T9, but we pressed new ones into service and much interest has been shown in it. The girls organized first, with the following players: Right forward and captain, Coell Jividen: left forward, Ruth DeWolfe; left guard. Kathleen Bentz: center, Dorothy Reed, and substitutes, Dorothy Bentz, Audrey Mills and Freda Wolfe. 68 On February 27th we played a game with Rutland High School at their hall; our girls winning with a score of 21 to 6. It seemed, however, that Rutland was not satisfied and they again arranged a game with us to be played at the armory at Pomerov, Ohio, March 10. Our boys awakened by the brilliant victory won by the girls thought it was time they should organize, so that they could share in the spoils of victory of the coming contest, if such should be the case. They organized with the following players: Left forward and captain, Ben Spencer; right forward, Maurice Lott; center, Dillon Cross; right guard, Don Nease; left guard, Edward Foster; substitutes, Wilbur and Dale Holter. Both of our teams were successful in the contest, the girls’ score being 13 to 4, and the boys’ 19 to 5. This successful contest will probably finish our basket ball career for this year. 9 —The Racina TENNIS CHAMPIONS. Dillon Cross, Alice Clarke, Coell Jividen, Ben Spencer. In September of 1919, the High School teachers and students decided to have “Some Tennis” this year. The boys and girls organized by electing Coell Jividen captain of the girls and Ben Spencer of boys. This is the first year we engaged in tournaments of this game. After several tryouts Alice Clarke and Coell Jividen were chosen to represent the girls, Ben Spencer and Dillon Cross, the boys and these four proved champions over contesting teams. These are all seniors so in our organizations for next year we must develop new material of which Racine High has great supply. Our first game was on our home court on October 31, with Rutland, in which our boys and girls walked off with the honors, however, it was hotly contested and we worked to win it. 70 On November 1 of the same year our teams again played Rutland Hi on the Rutland court. We again struggled hard, finally our teams, both boys’ and girls’ won the victory. After the doubles, a game of singles was played in which again we won. We certainly enjoy tennis as it is one of our favorite indulgences. TENNIS SQUAD. Back Row: Left to right—Paul Carnahan, Don Nease, Homer Holter, Dillon Cross, Ben Petrel, Ben Spencer, Earl Foster.

But I couldn’t give you any lower.” Don Nease: “I feel like two cents.” Audrey Mills: “How things have gone up since the war.” Kathryn Philson: “This is the story of a boy and girl who were sisters.” Ben Petrel, a Senior, has no use for a mule, a woman or an umbrella, but has many uses for whiskers. Gretta Howell: “1 would give you a penny for your thoughts if they were worth it. Stanley Roush: “They’re not worth it. I was thinking of you.” Clifford H: “Papa said he had seen some dogs that were smarter than their masters.” Dale H: “That’s just like my dog.” We all wonder why Delbert enjoys going to the land of Dixie.

Harold Hamm: “Mr. Williams, can you tell me any road I can take where I won’t be fined for speeding?” Mr. W: “The road to education.” ■6 Gerald Cowie: “Mr. Williams, what are you going to do with that?” Mr. Williams: (leaving the meat market with one dollarsworth of meat) “I’m taking it to a photographer’s to have it enlarged.” Carl Cross: “How can I reduce?” Maurice Lott: “Some people say that you should run two miles each day.” Carl C: Well, stand still while I run around you twice.” Coell J: “What did you think of my solo?” Dorothy Reed: “It needs ventilation.” Coell: “Why so?” Dorothy: “the air is bad.” Miss S: “What is your ideal life?” Ora Hill: “An old maid school teacher.” Miss Smiley: “Who wrote Gray’s Elegy?” Frances F: “Alexander Pope.” Dillon C: “How many branches are you carrying?” Ernest Paulin: “I’m carrying one and dragging three.” HARD JOBS: To keep the Seniors awake. To separate the inseparable lovers. To stop Coell Jividen from saying “that there” and “this here”. To make Alice Theiss talk five minutes. To get Winifred Gibbs to sing. To scop Carl Cross in his Ford. To get Jeannette Lawson to smile. To stop Arthur Stobart from smiling. To get Brooks Beegle to eat breakfast without milk. To make Ben Petrel leave his whiskers over the river. To prevent Doris Sayre from slugging the basket ball. Deep wisdom—Swelled head. Brain fever—He’s dead. A Senior. False, fair one—Hope fled, Heart busted—He’s dead, A Junior. Went skating—’tis said, Floor bumped him—he’s dead, A Sophomore. Milk famine—Unfed, Starvation—He’s dead, A Freshman. A Wonderful Discovery ! ! ! Perpetual motion ! ! ! Edith Curtis’ jaw. Mr. Clarke: “What is the greatest change when water turns to ice?” Harold C: “The change in price.” Mr. Williams (explaining lhe difference between a man and a monkey): “A man talks and you can understand him but a monkey you can’t.” Gladys Crooks: “What did you say Mr. Williams, I can’t understand you?” Waviie Circle in Geometry: “Would it be a straight line if it were curved? Margaret Krider: “Is there any way of getting out of Caesar?” Esther Sayre: “Yes, die or quit school.” Audrey M: “Thanks, for the violets, Carol, they are so pretty and there is still some dew on them.” Carol Sayre: “Yes, $1.25.” Mr. Wms and Coell: “After all, fools make life amusing. When all the fools are dead we won’t want to be alive.” Hazel: “Don’t worry, you won’t.” 77 'The Racina■ Class Gossip ...........-.......................... -...............

He then stood staunch before the class His face showed much relief, For snug inside his Caesar book, There was a pony leaf. Sarah Roush: “How many times has Mr. Williams scolded you?” Carl Cross: “Six times.” Sarah R: “Enumerate them.” Carl C: “One, two, three, four, five, six.” Mr. Clarke: “Ruth, how do you pronounce that French word?” Ruth: “Huh?” Mr. Clarke: “Correct.” Miss S: “Does the moon effect the tide?” Sylvia Jewett: “No, onlv thp untied.” Mr. Clarke in the Physics Class: “We can observe the physiological effects of inductive discharge by taking hold of the terminals of a coil and then holding hands.” Paul Carnahan (in an excited voice) : “When, when?” And when the class laughed he actually saw the joke. i m Winifred «f 4 Her Cf jMnlej w'«r; k tr 4 � «W A_ J c,tiu - « •'' . , “A“ Eevoir,” said Earle Foster. “What does that mean7” asked Hilda A V,; That s eood-hye in French.” renlied Earle. ’m, ve well Carbolic j££ ”epnaedrHlldanded- “What’S tHat?” Earie’ «r- W,i1Iia,r: “ hy even the hairs of your head are numbered.” Marcella W: That s nothin?!

The first time I saw yon I nearly died laugh- Miss Smiley: Mr. Clarke: “Every time Ben kisses me, he colors up to the eyes.” You shouldn’t put it on so thick.” “THE FLUNKIN’ BLUES” (Written by a Sophomore). I ain’t goin’ to study much no more ’Cause I ain’t got nothin’ for what I done before, Best grade I got was twenty-four. Zero, goose-eggs, cribbin’ sheets, drill, If Clarke don’t get yu, then the flunkin’ blues will. Oh, my honey, what shall I do? My head am achin’, and feelin’ blue. I hain’t got sore, I hain’t never fussed, But who can find a teacher one can trust? Oh, those moanin’, groanin’, melancholy, flunkin’ blues, Can’t eat, nor sleep, nor chuckle when I choose. Sixty, fifty, thirty, twenty-four, Seventeen, sixteen and still gettin’ lower— It hain’t no use to tax my overloaded brain, I always lose all the knowledge that I do gain. Wilbur: “Have you heard my new song, ‘The Proposal?” Dorothy B: “No, what key is it in?” Wilbur: “Be miner.” Henry Beaver, Arthur Stobart and John Thomas in a canoe: Arthur: “Hey, boys, quit rockin’ this boat.’’ Henry: “We weren’t rockin’ it. I only moved my feet.” Mr. Clarke: “This ice cream tastes like pink face-powder.” Winifred: “With what authority do vou speak of the taste of pink face-powder?” Mr. Williams in Cicero class: “Creota!” Creota (nearly asleep): “I don’t know that.” Mr. Williams: “I haven’t asked you anything yet.” Miss Smiley: “What did Burns do for rustic life?” Wise Senior: “Cleared the rust off.” Little spots of knowledge, Little puffs of wit, Make the simple Freshman Think the Senior IT! Once there was a little Freshie, Brain blank—white as snow— Sophomores hazed the little Freshie, Long time ago. Freshie grew into a Sophie, Wisest here below-— Gazed with awe upon the Junior, Long time ago.' When this Soph became a Junior, Then he tried to show— There was no one to surpass him— Long time ago. From a Junior to a Sen;or, This young man did grow— , , Then he wishes he were the Freshie, Of long ago. WANTED: An elevator to elevate the Sophomores. WANTED: A customer for Senior dignity. WANTED: Some intelligence for the Freshies. Miss Smiley: “Heat makes things expand, and cold makes them contract. Can you give an example?” Florence C: “In Summer the days are long and in Winter they'are short.” ■( m j | Hilda: “What’s the difference between a kiss and a sewing machine?” Earle: “One sews seams good and the other seems so good.” Mr. Clarke in English: “Describe the snow storm, Cressa.” Cressa W. (rising slowly): “It just snowed.” 80 RACINE HIGH SCHOOL She stands for good, we knew she could and always would: And we’ll forsake her never! Thru rain and snow, some more to know, they come and go; But R. H. S. goes on forever. Thru sun and wet, we love her yet, we do, you bet; And we’ll forget her never; With moistened eye, to Racine High we say “good-bye”— For she is gone forever. WANTED TO KNOW: Why Audrey Mills likes to study General History. —Because it teaches her so much of Richard. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. at the end AXIOMS RECENTLY DISCOVERED Recitation is the science of bluffing. Zero added to zero, the result is flunk. Zeros are always equal, though they never coincide. A teacher is a many-sided polygon and equal to any thing. A “proposition” is a general term for that which confronts the Senior of the third year. A woodpecker lit on a Freshie’s head And settled down to drill; He bored away for half a day And finally broke his bill. A SOPHOMORE’S POWDER PUFF. A pretty Sophomore One bright, sunshiny day, Powdered up her face And put her puff away. The teacher called the class According to the rule, And now you see I.aurine Was us;ng it in school. The powder all came off She wanted it again, But couldn’t find her puff, And so she changed her plan. Many a day did pass, The powder puff was lost— Laurine was very sad Sorrowful and cross. One day she cleaned her desk, Of all the things within— And to her great surprise She found her puff again. CLASS STONES. Freshman—Emerald Sophomore—Soapstone Junior—Grindstone Senior—Tombstone What to do to get white hands—nothing! •—Winifred Gibbs. UP-TO-DATE SCHOOL MAXIMUMS. Ignorance of the text passes no man. The wages of fun is flunking. Examinations without preparation are misery. You can bluff some of the teachers all the time, all the teachers some of the time, but you can’t bluff all the teachers all the time. Charley Gibbs’ wish. ‘RESTFUL DAYS.’ I’d like to be a little stone a’settin on a hill, A doin’ nothin’ all day long but just a settin’ still. I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t drink, I wouldn’t even wash; I’d set and set and set and set and rest myself be-gosh. 8t 11 The Racina We the Class of Nineteen Twenty, bid farewell to you, Racine High. It is with heavy hearts that we leave you because many of our happiest days were spent within your portals and acquaintances and friendships made there are long to be remembered.
