We, the editors, hair labored much to make this book a success. We hope that it will stand the supreme test, that of being looked at years from now. and of bringing the same smiles of recognition and chuckles of delight. I aablp nf (Enntrnta (Opentny JJrramiucl 8 rmora Unbprrlaaamrn Artiuitira At lptira (OUa-pnbriila (Hire personnel of Horton High £ rhool (City 8 riuutl Ifoarit SURELY our School Hoard deserves to he recognized for their many services to the School City of Richmond. Theirs is a great responsibility, for their task is to see that we are provided with good teachers, that the school buildings are properly maintained, and that the best, most modern educational system and standards are offered to us. Due to their efforts and efficiency, our system of schools is classed as one of the best in the state. We are indebted to them for having made our opportunities for education bigger and better than they might otherwise have been. “Men of fete words arc the best men.'' Page eight (era — “O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength: hut it is tyrannous To use it like a giant. Erwin C. Cline fhittrtparH JJteaaagp SSOMEONE lias said that a high school education makes one a hundred times as likely to succeed as one without such an opportunity. Education makes one a giant. In myth and in reality we know of giants who, finding it easy to get along because of their power, live an easy, slothful, useless life: they play no part in the world beyond being a freak of nature—an incumbrance on the earth. Other giants there are who use their powers to tyrannize the weaker—to make the unfortunate more unfortunate. But being able to do great things carries the moral obligation actually to use such ability and to use it in a good way. It is clear that it is sinful, if we are giants, merely to do nothing; it is clearly more sinful to use our superior powers in any way that does not help to do the world's work, make others happier, add our excess power to the efforts of those who may lack. Ought not we who have profited from free education take a sober moment now and then to ponder our responsibility to a beneficent society that gave us more power? “Come not within the measure of my wrath.’’ Page nine “Learning is but an adjunct to ourselves.” Page ten JantUg flmmutd Principal E.

I dote oti his very absence Page eleven I r-iart Miss Eunice Brokaw “Unmuzzle Ilnur Uisimm” WIEX the world began, man had only air. water, and food—life's, barest necessities. The conditions of existence have been so completely changed that we would find it disagreeable, as well as impossible, to live now in such a primitive manner. This change we owe to science. Science would have been unable to make this contribution to tbe world if man had not applied the knowledge gained in school and in life. A good many years ago, Shakespeare, in “As You Like It, gave us this idea in three words, “Unmuzzle your wisdom.” Therefore. when you go to do your job in the world, remember that learning, as pure learning, makes very little contribution to your community, but that applied learning helps pay the debt all owe to society. “Hr tliat wants ttuumi, mrans attb nmtrnt, is witluurt tfjrrr gonli fripnbs’’ ONE of the common human wants is money. This and the power derived from your training in Morton and other sources of guidance constitute the means enabling you to achieve more desirable ends in life. Money and means are essential, but if you are not contented, you are without the third “good friend.” A great part of the strength and contentment of life is commensurate with the degree in which we get into harmony with our environment. These three blessings, when accompanied by a steadfast desire to serve God and one’s fellows, are contributing factors to a life of worthy achievement. hints not this speech like iron through your blood?” fe ' --------- I aRe twelve Hantfonit I do not ask to be Greatest of the great, To win the largest fee, Or own a king’s estate; But through the passing years And all which God may plan, Laughter and care and tears, I pray to he a man. I do not ask that I Shall never meet with care, Or see a cloud drift by W ith only joy my share; For I would cope with doubt And storm and stress and strife, And from them fashion out A clean courageous life. I do not ask to miss All tests of care and pain, I merely ask for this: Faith for the dark and rain, Strength for the task which falls, Wisdom to know the right, And when the curtain falls, Courage to face the right. Life is blended whole, Mixture of joy and care; Pleasure may test the soul Deeply as hurts we bear. So through the passing years Marking off life’s span, Whether in smiles or tears, I pray to be a man. • —Edgar Guest. “We arc ready to try our fortunes to the last man.” Page fourteen W tTh z 3P ieivign Betty Dodd...........................

Under the efficient leadership of Mr. L. E. Harter and Mr. Neff, many round table discussions on vital subjects have been held. The fact that the conclusions made in this club are arrived at as a result of properly guided discussions by each individual member, rather than as an outgrowth of ceaseless lecturing on the subject, explains the reason for this club's success.

This organization is open to any girl of Morton who is willing to accept the code, purpose, and slogan. At present the membership totals 320. The Charity Fair which is given annually under the auspices of the Girl Reserves, was even a greater success this year than previously. Besides the regular initiations held each semester for new members of the Morton club, the girls passed the light on to newly organized groups at the Townsend Branch of the Community Service and at the Centerville H. S. One of the biggest projects undertaken by the organization this year was the production of a light operetta, “Swords and Scissors, which was exceedingly well given. A G. R.-Hi-Y Hallowe’en party, two Vesper Services, Christmas parties for children and grandmothers of the Social Service, a G. R.-Hi-Y May breakfast, a Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet, and a number of group parties were given by the club during the year. The girls are now looking forward to furnishing a room for themselves in the new Y. W. C. A. With such a privilege for the future, they hope to do even stronger work than before.

The purpose of the Art League is to encourage and foster an interest in matters of fine arts among pupils, to provide a means of activities along this line, and to contribute to the general interest of the community in art. ()ne of the best things that the League has done, has been to conduct a free drawing and painting class for the children of the grades.

It is their mission to see to it that the major activities of the school are properly handled so that we students may enjoy their efforts. Much credit is due them for the pleasing and successful manner in which all of Morton’s activities have been handled during the past year.

Richmond was one of the first cities in the country to have a high school orchestra. We were not satisfied with this distinction, but we worked hard until we had one of the best orchestras in the country. The Morton High School Orchestra has become more or less of a model for all other high school orchestras. We are proud of this fact, but we should not be contented; we not only have our reputation to maintain, but there is still much in music we have not done. 1’efore this year we did very little in vocal music, but in one year a great stride has been taken in that direction. We now have a chorus of about four hundred people, two glee clubs, a boys’ sextet, and a girls’ sextet. Mr. Nils Boson, our new supervisor of music, has organized all of these successfully. More students can take an active part in music through the vocal organizations than through the instrumental organizations. There are only about ten per cent of the students represented in the orchestra, whereas fifty per cent are represented in the chorus, and the other fifty per cent could he. Many people have thought that one school could not excel in both instrumental and vocal music. This year has proved that idea to be a mistaken one. The orchestra has been working hard under the direction of Mr. Little, and is still the excellent organization it has been for a number of years. It has played some of the works of the greatest masters, including Mozart’s Symphony in G Minor and Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. Six successful concerts were given during the year. The Morton Orchestra has played before the National Music Teachers’ Convention twice, once in Nashville and once in Cincinnati. This year, however, something different was tried. Prof. Joseph E. Maddy, who was formerly supervisor here, invited many of our orchestra members to come to Detroit and play in the National High School Orchestra, which was composed of students from all over the United States. This orchestra was directed by Mr. Maddy and Mr. Ossip Grabrilowitsch, conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. A distinctly novel feature of the year was the musical operetta, “Swords and Scissors. presented under the auspices of the (Girl Reserves, in cooperation with the music department. The operetta calls for a number of singing actors, and its presentation called for some hard, but worth while work on the part of the participants. 1 he May Music Festival was of unusual interest. All the schools of the city were represented. The Morton chorus presented the cantata, “Columbus,” with Prof. Lehmann, of Earlham, taking the solo part. Other organizations representing Morton were the orchestra, band, and the boys’ and girls' glee clubs. “If music be the food of lore. day on.

Constance embarks on a trip to find a young man who has stolen a large sum of money from her father. She almost succeeds, when suddenly all traces of the young man are lost. At this point she meets her mother’s friend, Mrs. Delavan, who is failing in her management of a club house. In order to assist her, Constance determines to call herself Nora O’Brien, an Irish maid. Mrs. Delavan makes a success of Tuxedobrook through the aid of Nora’s money and clever ideas. Constance finds romance and much tense and lively adventure during the peri xl of her incognito, and also captures the young man who has defrauded her father.

In this respect the play has the advantage over fiction and poetry in letting us see and hear the characters. Moreover, if we take part in plays, we must, for the time, be the characters. The study and presentation of good plays stimulates the imagination and the study of human nature, and develops good taste in literature as well as in appreciation of dramatic production. The theatre, as one of the oldest institutions of the world, has always been loved and upheld by civilized nations. The fact that schools and colleges everywhere are encouraging dramatics and courses in drama, is evidence of interest in life and people. The drama class has proved its worth even in the short time of its existence. The increase in the membership is a sure sign of interest among the students; the plays presented have attracted the attention of the entire school; and the model stages have been the delight of everyone who has seen them. Acting plays before the class is a part of the regular course. It is here that one’s ingenuity and inventiveness are heavily taxed in improvising stages and settings. Here the pupil is taught that imitation, besides being the sincerest flattery, is also the truest art. In striving to study the walk, the gesture, the voice, and the habit of the character he wishes to impersonate, he will also be unconsciously thrown into the attitude of mind and the feeling of this character. Exercises in pantomime, bodily control, and voice are a part of the preparations for presenting plays in class. A part of the work is based on the text, “Acting and Play Production.” In the fall semester, “Two Crooks and a Lady,” a clever one-act play, was given in chapel. The Dramatic Society’s presentation of “The Red Lamp” was one of the successful features of the Charity Fair. Later in the year, “The Kleptomaniac” was read at a 10-B chapel. Those in the class will look back with pleasure upon the impromptu presentation of numerous plays, including those contained in Webber and Webster’s “One Act Plays for Secondary Schools.” The most pretentious performance of the year, aside from the senior play, was the evening program given by members of the Drama Class and the Dramatic Society. The program included “Boloney,” a comedy by Esther Armacost, a Morton student; “The Impertinence of the Creature” by Cosmo Jordan-Lennox; and “The Travellers” by Booth Tarkington. The pleasure derived from participation in these activities was due in a large measure to the enthusiasm inspired by Miss Finfrock and to her capable direction. “Order gave caeli thing view.” (for — -------- — Page sixty Cfyii i 12:r-ian (itfp Segiatpr Sponsors |Mr. Grissom | Mr. Schlauch SEVERAL years ago a new subject, journalism, was introduced in Morton. Ever since that time, our school has had a weekly newspaper. So rapid has been the progress of this paper, that we scarcely realize what a striking development has taken place. From a small, four page paper, it has become an eight page weekly. It is also no longer a financial liability, but an asset, turning over a considerable sum to the Student Council each year. There are two departments busy each week in getting out the finished product. The journalism class plans the paper, writes the copy, and takes care of the business interests. The printing classes set up the copy and print the paper.

Although this statement, in its entirety, is not true of the present staff, there are a few who deserve particular commendation. Mabel Bortner, as editor, was all that an editor could lx ; a hard and efficient worker, willing whenever necessary to sacrifice her classroom subjects to devote more time to the annual. Margeret Grant and Charliene Tice are two more outstanding members of the staff. Margeret deserves the credit for the clever personals and Charliene is responsible for the novel snap pages. Next comes Dick Harrington, our cartoonist. Dick worked faithfully to make this annual a success, at least as far as cartoons are concerned, and I feel safe in predicting that no matter what your opinion of the rest of the work may lx , you will say that the cartoons are the best ever. Last, but by no means least, is Miss Finfrock, who was always willing to give of her time and advice, and who always came to the rescue with a new idea, when things seemed hopeless. Norman Pilgrim.

M Page sixty-two i it retail W7HY does Morton High School put teams W in the field in football, basketball, track, baseball, tennis, suntnming, and golf? Why does the school have intramural games in basketball, baseball, tennis, and track? Why have ten members of the faculty working in the athletic department? Why have athletic fields and gymnasiums in every progressive community? Each of these questions can be answered a number of ways, but these answers can lx classified roughly into two general classes, those coming from people who believe high school athletics are for the pleasure of the spectator, and those coming from people who believe that athletics are for the benefit of the athlete, the word athlete” including any boy or girl who desires to participate in wholesome sport. The answers of the first group would run about as follows: Morton High School has athletic teams to win honor and glory for the community and school, and advertise the town favorably so that partisans may proudly refer to the team. Intramural games are fostered for the sole purpose of improving the varsity. Ten faculty members work in the athletic department so that a better (meaning a winning) team will be produced; the boys on the team will receive better treatment from the school, the athletic element will be stronger, and the athletic rivalries will be greater, all of which will tend to make the games more interesting. Gymnasiums and athletic fields are necessary in order that the varsity teams may have a place to practice and hold interschool contests. These are mainly for the amusement of the general public interested in athletics. Now the answers of the group who believe in athletics for the athletes: Varsity teams are put out in every branch of athletics possible in order to give as many pupils an opportunity actually to take part as are in sch x l. Varsity teams are organized to compete with other schools, but the real reason for sports in school is to get one hundred per cent participation by the student body. Intramural leagues are organized in order to take care of those pupils who do not play on varsity squads, to give them an opportunity to learn these games, and to create a wholesome interest in play for its own sake. Ten faculty members are used in the athletic department so that one of the school’s best educational forces may function properly and all sports can be given an ample and equal opportunity in the athletic program. Good gymnasiums and athletic fields are needed so that the boys and girls of America will have a place to learn our standard games, become interested, and thus acquire a health-building, leisure time activity. The foregoing answers serve to illustrate the two ideas of high school athletics; on the one hand the idea of athletics for the spectator, and on the other, athletics for the athletes. I he second position is the only one tenable by one who has given some thought to the subject. Athletics are for the education of all youth, irrespective of athletic skill or ability to make pleasure for spectators, bring ‘honor’ to a group, or satisfy the pride of partisans.” High school athletics must not be dominated by outside fans, alumni, business men, or any other group, local or otherwise. Athletics must always remain part of the educational system. W hen professional ideas and ideals enter into our sports, every one suffers and no one more than the athletes themselves. Harold M. Littlk Ij all were holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work (5 ri :v;t:v■ - ' '-38) Page sixty-four l)iz 3C i sisiatt JfanihaU f mintp WHEN Coach Little issued the call for football candidates last fall, all of his 1924 regular squad reported, with the exception of M. Parker, 11. Abel, Ofifutt, Thomas, Murray, and C. Evans. Along with his old timers, several new men as Lefty Jones, Walter Kelsey, Scott Porter, and Jim Coe appeared to take the places left vacant by graduation. The Red Devils won their opening game at the local Exhibition Park, over El wood, one of the best teams in the state in 1924, by a 21-0 score. Scott Porter went over for two of the touchdowns and Daddy Reeg was good for the other one. John Evans scored three pretty drop kicks to bring the score to 21. The next Saturday the Morton men journeyed to Middletown where they tied the strong high school team there, 7-7. Porter, Reeg. and Evans again starred for the locals. But for a few slips in the last minutes of the game, Morton would have had a 7-0 victory. Ather Reeg made the prettiest catch of the season, when he received John Evans’ pass behind the goal posts for Morton’s touchdown. Evans added the extra point. Back in Reid Field the next week Morton got revenge for their 1924 defeat, by trouncing Portland Hi, 25-0. Morton showed real football in this game, both on the line and in the backfield. While the whole team showed well, Walt Kelsey, Scott Porter, and Capt. Brown were the outstanding performers. The following Saturday, Roosevelt Hi, of Dayton, Ohio, journeyed to the Quaker City and leaped over our Red Devils for a 13-0 victory. The team seemed to be in pieces and not the machine they had been all season. This game was a jinx to the Red Devils as they failed to win a game the rest of the season. True to the jinx, Morton was taken down by the weak Wilkinson Hi eleven. A weak second team played the greater part of the game, and while they gave their best, they could not hold against a first team. “Delays hare dangerous ends.” ---- TT.------------------- p,g) Page sixty-five It was after this game that Scott Porter, star half-hack, was declared ineligible and Morton was forced to forfeit all the games they had won. New Castle pulled the wool over Morton’s eyes the next week, when twenty Red Devils and a hundred or so hackers made the trip to the Trojan City and were promptly informed that New Castle only had six men with which to play, and besides, the field was too wet. Imagine a football game’s being called off because the ground was a little wet! Playing in mud to their ankles, Morton tied the Greenfield Hi School team. 6-6, in a slow and uninteresting game on Reid Field, before a handful of people. The Marion and Morton game was also postponed on account of wet grounds. Then came our ancient rivals, Hamilton and Muncie. Old Morton with a few hundred backers went south into Ohio and tied our most formidable foe. Hamilton, by a six to six score. Reeg, Kelsey, and our diminutive little Mustard plugged holes in the I lamilton line time after time. Morton developed the most spirit it had shown for years the week preceding the final game of the year with Muncie. Red and White Week was originated by The Register, and everybody wore his school colors and tags that said for the Red Devils to “Heat Muncie.” Fully five hundred people followed the team to the Magic City, where Earlham and Morton were to meet Muncie Normal and Muncie Central respectively. The Muncie boys opened up an aerial attack on Richmond and were never headed, the final score being 26-0, with Morton dragging the goose-egg. This game brought the football careers of the following “Men of Morton” to a tragic close:—Ather Reeg, full back; Robert Brown, tackle: Walter Kelsey, half back; Jim Coe, end; and Don Parker, guard. Coach Little has great prospects for next year in the Evans brothers, Weaver, Mustard, Wiley. Eckenrode, Jones, Bond, Young, Noggle, and Stegall, besides the men coming up from the junior high school. 1 fere's luck to you. Coach, for 1926.

The Red Devils after a very short practice, started off well, but slowed down a bit and then alternated between a winning stride and a losing slump the rest of the season. The team’s first and biggest blow was when Robert Morgan cpiit school to journey southward, Morton was without a good pivot man in the next few games, but soon settled down when Walter Imhoff filled Morgan’s shoes. Morton won its first five games over Centerville, Hagerstown, Portland, Eaton, and New Castle. This string of victories was soon ended when the Red Devils journeyed to the capital city to have Technical take their scalp by a 47-21 score. The next three straight were lost to Anderson, Shelby, and Muncie by large scores. The next week South Side of Ft. Wayne was taken into camp, 51-26. Capt. Jones scored fourteen field goals in this scrimmage. During the next two weeks, Hamilton and Elwood were defeated, but Rushville and Lebanon evened the count. The Alumni won a one point victory over the Red Devils, but Franklin was knocked off 46-30. The next week, the Red Devils, with five hundred backers, journeyed to Connersville to meet our ancient rivals. We were handicapped seriously by the loss of Reeg, our flashy floorguard, due to the death of his grand- “Cupid is a knavish lad thus to wake poor females mad.” r— ■ -------- (go------ Page sixty-nine SECOND TEAM mother. Taking an early lead, the Spartans held off the Red Devil fight, and when the final gun was shot, the score read 33-33. In the overtime Morton made but two points, while Connersville piled her score to 36. Then came the final game of the season with the Bedford enemies, at that time possessors of the “Brick.” Reeg was still out of the game and Morton seemed very pepless; whereas Bedford was all primed for a fight, and they ran away with our Red Devils, 47-23. They kept the “Brick” until the semi-finals of the state, when they lost it to Martinsville. The following week, Morton disposed of Whitewater, Hagerstown, and Brownsville, to win the sectional crown. This was probably the best sectional ever staged in Richmond, both in attendance and games. The next Saturday, in the Rushville Regional, a very ragged Morton team lost to Aurora, 35-20. After all is said and done,, the Red Devils did not do so badly, and we are proud of them for their fight. Twelve games' were won and eleven lost. With Jones, Voss, and Klutz to build around, we are looking forward to next season, when we expect to win the state championship. Don’t disappoint us, boys.

ROBERT “HORSE” BROWN. Record, two years at guard. Sickness set “Bob” back a little at the start, but at Christmas time he was raving to go and helped out at the guard positions. Robert has to leave us this year according to the rules of the class of 1926. JAMES “RED” COE.

Like other spring athletic teams, the track team lacked outdoor practice owing to the unfavorable weather, and they lost their first meet, which was held at Anderson in a driving snow storm. The Anderson track was slow, and although the Red Devils fought hard, they could not overcome the advantage of the home team. Reeg, Coe, and Bond starred. On April 24, Manual of Indianapolis was defeated by a score of 58-41. The largest crowd of several years was out. mainly to see Owen Huntsman, of Earlham, who had placed second in the Penn State Decathlon at Philadelphia the day before. Earlham won their meet with DePauw at the same time. Reeg. Coe. and Bond were again the bright lights. The team still had two meets when these few words went to press, and prospects looked good for Red Devil victories. Reeg. Bond, Voss, Eckenrode, and Coe look good to go to the state finals at 1 ech later in the spring. Several of the main point getters graduate this year. “He fires betimes that spurs too fast betimes. _______-----------------------------------------------■ ' Page seventy-three 3E� l £i -tan BASEBAI.I. SQUAD SlcUU'lraU iKi'iUinu' ORTON put an inexperienced baseball team in the field this year, but , the result was far from that expected. Though handicapped by the lack of practice due to cold weather, the Red Devils pulled themselves together and had a real season. Much credit should be given the coach, Mr. After many postponed games, Morton finally opened her season with Boston, on the latter’s diamond. Tom Brooks, a new man at Morton, went the entire route in the box and turned in a nice game, pulling himself out of the pinches in fine shape. With the batting aid of Jones, Voss, and Klotz, Morton won by a 5-3 score. The following Monday, a return engagement was played at home. John Lacey was on the mound for the Red Devils. Jones and Voss again went on a hitting spree and along with Johnny’s perfect control, led Morton to an easy 20-2 victory. April 23, V hitewater came to Richmond with high hopes of winning a ball game, but their hopes were shattered, and they went home with the short end of a 24-8 score. We have at the present writing a perfect record of three games won, and the team is improving every game. Morton’s best line-up seems to be: Dud Cartwright, catch ; Klotz, first; Reeg, second; Voss, third ; Daily, short; Daugherty, Jones, and Reeves, field; and Brooks, Lacey, and Jones, pitch. I e8fh McAdams, J’uckett, Corsi, and Winburn are utility men. There s no better sign of a brave mind than a hard hand.” ( -....— - -----------------_= S) Mathews. Page seventy-four TENNIS TEAM ©route Ki'siimu' MORTON puts every form of athletics in the field, and consequently a tennis team is formed every year. Some very good talent is shown in this sport, and it gives more fellows opportunity to represent their school and win their letters. Dick Harrington, tennis champion of Morton, is captain of the team, and Ezra Miller, faculty member, is the manager and coach. He is assisted by William Penery, ’25. These two help the others along with the finer points of the game and usually produce a good team. Fred Foley and the Evans brothers finish up the team. At the time of this writing, they are handicapped by the poor weather, hut with better weather in prospect, they expect to get in some hard practice in anticipation of a stiff schedule. “Hozv use doth breed a habit in a man!” ..............................- - - —ZZ XT® Page seventy-five SWIMMING TEAM Swimming MORTOX put their second swimming team in the field this tear with hopes of winning the state championship. Three men were sent to the state meet last year and third place was taken. This year Leonard Mow, coach of the state champion “Y” team, was appointed coach' and regular practice sessions were held. In a dual meet between the “Y” Acpiatic Club and the Red Devil Water Men, the “Y team was victorious by a goodly margin, but Morton's main men were on the “Y” team. Hampered by the absence of their star swimmer, Boh Brown, due to illness, the'team traveled to Columbus, Indiana, on April 30, 1926, and were again rewarded with third place for their gallant efforts. Finley Bond won the fancy diving in good style. Finley has won many times in this event for the “Y” Aquatic Club. Francis Peacock took a hard second in the 80 yard breast stroke, and Morton’s fun maker, Johnson Healy, took a fourth. Walter Reynard, a sophomore, took a fourth place in the 100 yard dash, and again in the 40 yard back stroke. These men brought Morton of Richmond a total of eleven points, just under Technical High School of Indianapolis, who finished second with twelve points. Emerson of Gary is the state champion, with a total of fifteen points. We are proud of our swimmers, even if we could not win the state championship. Most of the team will be back next year, and we have high hopes of taking the state championship. “Wise men ne’er sit ami wail their loss.” — ——--........ ••• Page seventy-six Jutra-iflnral Athletics FOR the benefit of those boys who did not make the varsity teams, Morton put on a series of intra-mural contests. During the basketball season, a league was formed and a regular schedule was played. The teams fought nip and tuck for the championship, but Mr. Nevue’s team, captained by Fin Bond, pulled through and captured the title. On May 13, an intra-mural track and field meet was held. The teams were divided according to classes, and the members appointed their captains. The seniors, captained by Claire Evans, won last year’s meet. A series of baseball games were played during the spring months, the teams again representing the three classes. Intra-mural athletics gives every boy a chance to engage in athletics, and it creates better sportsmanship among the fellows. “Be on a team should be the motto of every high school boy. “We cannot all be masters.” Page seventy-seven (dirls’ Athletics THE Morton girls had one of the most successful basketball seasons that they have known for several years. Class teams were organized immediately after Thanksgiving, and a tournament was held, the teams taking the responsibility of getting the needed practice. The llB’s won this tournament. Senior, junior and sophomore teams were then picked from the players in the first tourney, and a second one was held. The juniors again took the championship. In both meets, the seniors won every game except those played with juniors. After the tournaments, a first and second varsity were chosen, and these two teams played the final game of the season. The members of the first varsity were: forwards, Ruth Miller and Margeret Thompson; centers, Elsa Peacock and Mildred Miller; guards, Sarah O'Maley and Martha Tyner. Those on the second varsity were: forwards, Marguerite Muckridge and Marjorie Thistlethwaite; centers, Lola Haas and Florence Watkins; guards, Minerva DeHaven and Marie Mackey. A new spring sport is listed for the athletically-inclined girl, namely, indoor baseball. This game is to replace spring hockey. There are various reasons for the change, the most important being that it is much easier to find a baseball diamond than a hockey field. Moreover, baseball is more popular at this time of the year. The girls are coached in the gym classes, preparatory to the outdoor season, which begins as soon as weather permits. Track and field work also held an important place in the spring schedule. The annual track and field meet between Morton girls was held, ribbons being awarded to the winners of the events. The girls are handicapped hy the lack of equipment, and because of this they were forced to omit several events. Relays, dashes, distance throws, and the broad jump composed the events. Tennis is another of the organized sports. An annual tennis tournament is held. Many girls enter the contest enthusiastically, and it has become one of the most popular of girls’ athletic events. Hockey is the most important fall sport. It is welcomed much more at this time of the year than in the spring, because the weather makes the playing conditions more favorable. It is necessary for the girls to hike about two miles to the playing field, but this has seemingly made the sport more popular than ever, and many girls enjoy this form of recreation. The Girls’ Athletic Association has greatly increased the interest in girls’ athletics. Awards are made to members of the clubs who have a certain number of required points. These points are earned in various ways, such as playing basketball, swimming, and riding. This year, Alice Moelk, Margeret Kemper, Ruth Brindell, Lola Haas, and Marie Mackey received awards. “Is she not passing fair?” Page seventy-eight 3K� i«£i ian .“The game is up. r: — v® 5 = Page seventy-nine ■ IN iM-orto ttv 0 tfciA ft AU) AMtNKAM t!

BOTH MEN IN PINK OF CONDITION Station BIFF. Peoria, will broadcast the Floyd Gardner-Howard Guthrie fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, to be held in that city on Monday. The fight is scheduled to start promptly at 9 o’clock. Central Standard time. Don Parker, internationally known sport editor of the Morton Register, will be at the microphone, so a rare treat is in store for the fans. Both fighters have been training hard, and are in top-notch condition. Gardner, the present champion, is favored by many because of his greater experience. He is the veteran of many fierce fistic battles, and his superior ring judgment should stand him in good stead. On the other hand, Guthrie, the challenger, although comparatively inexperienced, has the spirit and fire of youth, and with the crown within reach, should put up a great fight. Bob Brown, famous Yale football coacb, and general authority on all athletics, will referee. Brown is noted for his attacks on the corrupt management of recent bouts, and his presence in the ring insures a square deal to both fighters. The preliminaries will not be broadcast round by round, but the results will be announced before the main go. BEST LOVED HUMORIST FORMER RESIDENT OF OUR CITY Richmond’s glory never ceases. Max Campbell, the best known and loved radio humorist, was once a resident of Richmond. In a recent newspaper article, she attributed her cleverness to the incidents and friends of her high school days. Her friends have been the inspiration of a great many caricatures. NOTED LECTURER-TEACHER AT TUSKEGEE Geneva Burke, instructor in English at Tuskegee Institute, will give a lecture entitled “Tuskegee Gains International Prominence” over station ???? Nashville. Tennessee, on Monday of this week. She is widely known, both as teacher and lecturer, and has won the admiration of a wide public. Prof. Roger Lindley Prof. Roger Lindley, the inventor of the radioscope, said during an interview today, that he had been interested in and worked on the radioscope since his high school days. He stated that he cherished the idea even when he spent his time in the vicinity of the second floor hall, back in the old Morton school building. GEORGE BATT’S TOOTERS NATIONALLY PROMINENT The most popular organization ot! radio entertainers of the present year promises to be the famous Batt Tooters. I With Mrs. Ruth Shideler Batt and Mrs. Leda Needham Hodskin as soloists, they have moved the radio fans preatly. Their director, Mr. George Batt, a nationally famous cornetist, has announced that he has refused offers of a tour abroad, to fill his radio engagements here. Other tooters are Mr. Cor- , win Beach. Mr. Charles Hodskin, and 1 Mr. Keith Harris. RICHMOND WOMAN DIRECTS SET-UPS One of the most interesting of the regular features from the new Richmond station is the system of set-up exercises, broadcast from the Y. W. C. A. Miss Kathryn Chrisman. the director, has proved very efficient so far. She gets on an average of fifty telegrams a da' telling how beneficial her up-sets are for reducing. LIND LEY’S INVENTION TO BE DEMONSTRATED TO PUBLIC THIS WEEK Station Bunk to Broadcast Initial Program The leading invention of the year, the radioscope, is to be demonstrated to the public Thursday of this week. Professor Lindley’s invention of this new and wonderful device of seeing everything over the radio, as well as hearing everything, promises to be the most important accomplishment of the decade. The initial program will he broadcast from station BUNK, the Andy Gump Gum Drop Company, Richmond, Indiana. This is a new station, erected primarily for the purpose of introducing this invention. Howard McPherson, the owner of the company has shown wonderful interest and co-operation in financing the station. There was some question about locating the station there, because of the liability of getting gum drops and wires mixed, but this was settled when Donald Boylan. manager of the station, announced that it wouldn’t make any difference. Many interesting features have been planned for the test program. RADIOSCOPE PROGRAM Light Operetta “Shears and Sabers” One of the most interesting of all the radio programs will be the light operetta “Shears and Sabers” written by Helen Snarr. a Richmond author of wide renown. The play will be broadcast from station BUNK of this city. It will be the first time in the history of the radio world that any program has been broadcast in such a way that it can be seen by the radio fans. Miss Snarr received her inspiration for this play from McFarland’s “Swords and Scissors. which was produced by her schoolmates during her high school days. The main characters of the operetta are: Olga Della-Yos Kardovoska Katharine Parrish Joan Jukovski .............Edna Scott Modest Falileev.....Pauline Spaulding Bonite Bobyshev..................Mary Torbcck Loliski Boksheev........Marian Berman Peter Petrovichev.....Ellis Bevington Leona rd Tu rh an ski Sherman Bullerdick Victor Vasnetsov .....Lowell Ellaman Isaac Brodski..................Herman Pilgrim (Continued on page 2) Page Two THE RICHMOND RADIO HERALD May 29, 1941 THE RICHMOND RADIO HERALD Found (in Ash Can) First Edition, 1941-j- Publisher Wilbur Pond Publishing Co. Editor................Wilbur Pond Hus. Mgr.............Lowell Elleman Staff............ Pauline Spaulding EDITORIAL This being the first edition of the HERALD, it is our humble privilege and duty to take our pen in hand, dip it into the ink. and type out a little explanation of the purposes and policies of this future great paper. First of all. our purpose is to keep the radio public informed on all the new developments in radio. It is our great fortune to carry in our very first issue, the story of the initial program over Prof. Lindley’s marvelous and world - revolutionizing invention, the radio-scope. In addition to this, we purpose to publish what we consider (and we are authorities) the best programs to be offered during the week. You will find these programs to be the choicest bits of boloney obtainable. Finally, (for the benefit of our readers, of course) we will carry a number of ads of the most trustworthy merchants of our great city. We are very sorry to say that we must necessarily limit the space for ads. So many business men want to use this medium, that we are forced to choose (and again our judgment is irreproachable) the firms most deserving the great benefit which our paper can give them. There is just one word of explanation in regards to the price, S’Nuff. This is not a new coin, made especially for the purpose, but it simply means that you can have a paper if you can bear to read it. If you want to hear something real good, tune in on Station O at Podunk, at 9:30 Sunday night. Dick ’n’ Bill are right there when it comes to operatic airs.

Miss Betty Dodd, nationally known as one of the best play directors, has been coaching the speaking parts, and M iss Florence Barton the choruses. May 29. 1941 + English stations broadcasting their nightingales have nothing on Station MULE. Above is pictured Maude, champion donkey owned by the Alvin Reeves Stables, who has been broadcasting from the studios of this station. Judging from the responses, his recitals are extremely popular and are scoring a distinctive hit. MISS WILEY TO SING Prominent among the features on this week's program is to be a vocal recital by Gladys Wiley, soprano. Miss Wiley is known to the radio audience through her past performances over stations OUCH and NUFF. Miss Wiley has studied in Europe under noted professors and tutors such at Professor Howard Roach, the tenor, and Madame Louise Kuhlman, soprano, who is known internationally for her splendid handling of roles in grand opera. Miss Wiley began her musical career after she was graduated from high school. It had always been her dream to be a great singer, but she had never voiced it to her school friends. It was indeed a great surprise to the citizens of Richmond when she began the study; of music, after her graduation under the leadership of Mr. Boson. Richmond honors her and will welcome her back for a visit sometime in the near future. MASQUERADE BALL AT DANCE-AWHILE-LONGER FAMOUS ROAD HOUSE Come with your face covered with anything.

I never thought I’d he able to stay down that long. Did ja’ get tired, Harrington?” “Notsa’ very. I had a College Humor with me. so I didn't mind. But, say, what was the idea rockin’ the boat so hard at first?” “I had to walk to the South Pole to get Max McCune’s picture. She certainly earned her title as Charleston Shark. 1 got a picture of your friend Sloppy (Claire) Evans down there. He’s a great Loafing Shark.” “How well I know it. Say, Norm, you didn’t see any more of my friends down there, did ja'?” “I certainly did. 1 heard someone say, ‘I’ll bite, what is it?’ and knew at once it must be Jim Coe. There he was floating along just as he did up at Morton as Hall Shark. He was talking to Arthur Mains, Chemistry Shark, who, true to form, was busily engaged extracting the sodium chloride from the brine. Say, when I told Jimmie and Arthur to behave themselves while I snapped their homely mugs, Jim told me I'd better save my films for some of the more beautiful inhabitants of the deep, who were Morton’s four heart-breakers, Bob Brown, the Football Shark, Ather Reeg. the Basketball Shark, Walter Imhoff, the Sheik-Shark, and Donald Boylan, the Latin Shark. Donald was just reading ‘Anna virumque cano,' to pacify them after a heated discussion on the eternal question, ‘The Fair Sex.’ While we were talking, who should swim by but 'Lillie Monger, the Vamp Shark, so I snapped her.” “Did you evade her attentions, or wasn’t she in a vamping mood?” “Never mind. She told me where I could find another of our friends, the Sleeping Shark. Yierl Cutler, sleeping in the midst of a clump of seaweeds. I managed to arouse him long enough to get his picture. Then I strolled along the bottom, picking up coral. I stumbled onto a protractor and compass, so I knew Edna Manford. our Math Shark, must not be far away. After some exploration, 1 began to ascend, thinking perhaps I was mistaken. Just then I saw Boylan, Brown, Reeg. and Imhoff come swimming toward me, and I snapped them. They said they had just seen Edna with Peg Kemper, so I hurried on.” “Well, did you ever find them ?” “How do you ’spose I got their pictures if I didn’t? It wasn’t long until I heard a female voice say, ‘Well, if a batted ball travels 38)4 inches a second, Peg, how far will it go in 10 minutes?’ and someone, who sounded like Peg Kemper, drawled, ‘I rather imagine it would depend on the outfielders, Edna.’ I knew that answer belonged to the Clever Shark, so I took their pictures.” “Say, Norm, didn’t ya’ get George Peacock, the Talking Shark? I don’t see how you could miss hearin’ him anyway.” “Oh, yes. Peg told me that he was practicing an oration to deliver to the Poor Fishes Convention, and that he was over near a coral reef. I journeyed on in that direction, and soon heard the voice of our great orator. I didn’t wish to disturb him so I just snapped him and traveled on. “After almost having an accident by getting tangled up in the wireless of the Radio Shark, Charles Youngflesh, I took his picture. I overtook Everett Ilosea, the Whistling Shark, who was so busy whistling that he didn’t even see me. My, but I’m glad that’s over!” “Well, maybe it was fun waiting on you in that hot sun!

Please!” “But, Barbara—” bewail Aunt Harriet, reprovingly. “Don’t call me Barbara! I hate it!” returned her niece, stamping her foot in a manner more suited to a spoiled child than to a girl of seventeen years. “But, dear, it’s so boyish—” “Of course it’s boyish! That’s why I like it! I hate silly girls who are afraid of a mouse, and I don’t want to be like them. I want to be like a boy who is a real boy and not a simpering sissy like this Kenneth Worthington you’ve been talking about!” “How do you know he is like that ? You’ve never seen him!” “You can tell by his name. Kenneth Worthington! I suppose he thinks he’s a second Solomon, now that he’s a graduate of Columbia University. I don’t want to stay here to meet him, so please don’t make me. Please!” “My dear, I think you’re wrong about Kenneth. He is a very nice young man. I’m sure your father could not have found a better person to manage Elm Farms while he is away, for Kenneth once lived here, himself.” “So Kenneth Worthington will manage Elm Farms, will he?” scorned Bobby. “I suppose you’ll let him dictate to you, too. Well, he won’t manage me!” “No, my dear,” sighed Aunt Harriet. “I hardly think he will.” “I should say not,” said Bobby, cramming a soft hat down over her hair. “I’m off, dear! Be back by evening.” “But, Barbara!” cried Aunt Harriet, hurrying to the door. “Listen!” “What is it, Auntie?” “Didn’t you hear the message the sheriff sent over the radio?” “O, yes! I remember. About that jewel thief being followed by the police to this part of the country. Well, what do you want me to do? Capture him?” “O Barbara! Please be reasonable! Don’t go alone! Why the papers say that this escaped man has murdered people!” and Aunt 1 larriet shuddered melodramatically. “Never mind! I'll get Sandy to go with me. I will not stay to meet that Worthington!” It suddenly occurred to Aunt Harriet that Barbara had never seen Sandy, for. although he was the head gardener and the most trusted of all the employees, he had come to Elm Farms only a short time before Barbara’s arrival, having served a friend of the girls’ father for several years. “Don’t worry,” said Bobby.” How does he look? I’ll find him.” “He’s tall and rather young. I think you’ll find him at the end of the lane. You'll know him by his sandy hair. Bobby went off, hands in pockets, hat pushed back, and her lips puckered in a whistle. At the end of the lane she came upon a tall young man with eyes that twinkled and hair that was a shade rather dark to be called “sandy.” Still, Bobby reasoned, people around here are nicknamed ridiculous things. There’s that old man they call Whitie Jones, and he’s as black as shoe-polish.” Aloud she called, “Hello!” Hello!” said he. I suppose you’re Bobby Nelson! “You’ve guessed it! she smiled. “Where are you going? “Why,” he said, looking surprised, “no place.” Bobby laughed. “The sea hath hounds, hut deep desire hath none. --------------------------------- -------------------- Page ninety-five tit t-i nn “Then come with me,” she said. “I'm taking a walk to escape a hideous man.” “Sounds interesting,” he remarked, “but suppose you come with me. I meant to take a long tramp up into the woods to see an old well which is reputed to be haunted.” “Haunted?” cried Bobby, delightedly. “O, good! I never saw anything really haunted. Let’s go!” They started out across a wooded space which Bobby had never explored. As they walked, the young man told her of haunted houses he had seen and gruesome ghost stories he had read. Bobby, being fascinated by the supernatural, listened with unaffected interest and delight. When he finished, he turned the conversation to birds and showed her many interesting ones which she had never seen. Further on, they found a little spring and both stooped to drink of the icy water that bubbled over the stones. “Tell me about this ‘hideous man’,” he said, after they had walked on. “My curiosity is aroused.” Bobby laughed and made a wry face. “His name,” she said, “is Kenneth Worthington. Imagine that! He’s coming to manage Elm Farms while dad’s away. I hate him in advance, for I just know he’s detestably conceited!” “Strong language,” smiled her companion. “Anyway, you’re escaping him. He must be far behind.” “Perhaps. How far have we come, Sandy?” “About seven miles,” he answered. “But why do you call me ’Sandy’?” Bobby stopped in frozen horror. “Why—aren't you Sandy Jones?” she faltered. “I’m sorry,” he said, apologetically. “I never heard of him.” Bobby drew a long breath and tried to speak casually. “I’ve mistaken you for someone else,” she stammered, “so perhaps you'll tell me your name.” “Excuse me.” said he, with a smile, “if I refuse to reveal my identity. Shall we go on ?” Bobby thought quickly. If this wasn’t Sandy, who could it be? It couldn't be Worthington, for he was not due to arrive for an hour. Yet, who was it, if not he? Suddenly a horrifying thought flashed across her mind. The jewel thief! She had heard the description of him over the radio, and it said he had auburn hair! He had been known to murder people for their jewels! Bobby put her hand to her head. “No,” she said, “I feel sort of dizzy. I’m not used to walking so far, you know. Hadn’t we better go back?” “You can’t go back that way,” he laughed. “That’s northeast.” “Oh!” breathed Bobby. “I thought it was south. I—I don't think I could ever find my way home from here.” “I’m sure you couldn't. If you’re dizzy, sit down and rest.” Bobby dropped down on a log nearby and unbuttoned her jacket at the throat. She felt that she was choking. The young man watched her thoughtfully. “That necklace you’re wearing is very lovely,” he remarked, suddenly. Bobby gasped and clutched at her throat. There was the beautiful emerald necklace that had been her great-grandmother’s. She had tried it on and had forgotten to take it off again. “It must be worth a fortune,” he continued. “It is very costly,” said Bobby, with the calmness of despair. Why tell him otherwise? He knew the value of a jewel! “Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself ............................. ■ ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page ninety-six Ct) it 3PlI it Harj “I wish it was mine,” said her companion, lightly. “I’m a collector of rare jewels.” Bobby shuddered and turned her head away. Her breath came in short gasps as she sat fighting the impulse to spring up and run. She wondered dully how far it was to the nearest house. “If I faint from dizziness,” she began, trying to sound gay, “you’ll have to dash to the nearest house for some smelling salts.” Very likely!” said he. “The nearest house is four miles away. If you faint. I’ll throw you in the creek!” He sounded as if he meant it, too. Bobby didn’t faint. She shut her eyes and pretended to be resting, but her ears were listening for any sounds from her companion. Presently he rose. Glancing furtively round, Bobby caught sight of a long, sharp blade and shuddered. So he was going to cut her throat! But she was disappointed, for, instead of advancing, he walked away, and after searching for a while, cut a stout stick which he brought toward her. Bobby feared be had changed his mind and had decided to beat her to death. However, he only presented the stick to her and said, “Help yourself along with this. Do you feel well enough to start?” Bobby nodded and followed him. She had no desire to go on, but anything was better than sitting silent while an escaped desperado prowled around her. They went another mile, the young man talking amiably and Bobby responding in monosyllables. Presently they came upon the well. “It’s very old,” he told her, “and people say it’s haunted. I don’t know the legend concerning it, but I’ve been told that it’s very gruesome. This well was the scene of a murder, I believe.” Bobby thought it might soon be the scene of another. The idea was not inviting, so she banished it and turned back to the narrow, winding path. He followed her in silence. Just around the curve, they came to a low shack half hidden by bushes and trees. The young man went inside, and Bobby was wondering whether she could fasten the door from the outside, when he called to her. “Bobby!” he said. “Come here!” It sounded like the voice of Bluebeard. Bobby went to the door, feeling as Fatima must have felt as she descended into the dungeon. So this was his plan. He would kidnap her and hold her for a ransom. He knew her father was wealthy and no one would find her here! Resolutely, she looked up, expecting to be hurled upon the floor and bound hand and foot. Her companion, however, had the most kindly and innocent of expressions upon his face as he said, “See where some little bird built its nest last summer. It is still here.” Bobby drew a breath of relief. When she had finished examining the nest, she glanced about the cabin. She saw that it had fallen to ruin and no one could possible live in it. “Well!” said the young man. “Perhaps we’d better start back. It's growing darker and those clouds look like snow.” Bobby’s heart leaped. Perhaps he had given up his plan! After all, he had decided not to murder this one person who trusted him. even though she was the possessor of a wonderful piece of jewelry! “Snow?” she asked. “Why, it surely can’t be snow this time of year!” “I know it’s rather late in spring to have a snowstorm, but the winds are growing colder. Can you walk faster?” Bobby was only too glad to do so. Despite her companion's assurance that they were going southward, she was sure they were going cast until familiar landmarks set her right. “Small lights arc soon blown out. huge fires abide ' r ----------------- ■ —— ——- _ v $) Page ninety-seven it jftier-ian The young man chose a different path that led through low, wooded valleys where they were shielded from the wind. When they had gone about five miles, it suddenly began to snow so hard that they could see only a short distance ahead. The sky grew very dark and just then, they descended into a deep valley which made it darker than before. Bobby stumbled wearily along. Suddenly her companion caught her arm and whirled her about. Taken by surprise, Bobby emitted a shriek which would have scared a hardened Indian out of his moccasins. “What the deuce-----?” began the young man, in a surprised voice. “Oh------ you f-----frightened me a little,” gasped Bobby. “Evidently,” he answered. “Take off that sweater.” Bobby drew it off. shuddering. He threw it over his broad shoulders and made the girl put on his heavy sheepskin coat. “But I-----1 can hardly stagger in this,” she protested. “It’s so big!” “Snap into it!” he ordered. “There is no time to lose. You’ll catch a cold.” “But, you-----” “Go on! I’ve got to get you home, child!” So he was taking her home! Home! Bobby was so delighted that she forgot to reprove him for calling her a “child.” She never forgot the remainder of that walk. She, who had never been required to obey anyone, was ordered about by this desperado like a mere infant. He made her jump low fences, crawl under high ones, walk trestles, and run up hills until she was breathless. The wind made her eyes water, but she didn’t even have time to dry them. He laughed and said. “Tears, idle tears. I wonder what they mean!” “Why-------!” broke out Bobby, stopping short. “Yes,” he nodded. “It’s Shakespeare. I’m not such a bum as you think.” Bobby felt very humble. Presently they reached Elm Place, and Aunt Harriet, who had seen them through the window, came running out. “Barbara!” she exclaimed. “I’ve been so worried! Come in and----------Why, Kenneth Worthington! How did you get here? I thought you weren’t coming.” “I changed my mind,” he smiled. “Won’t you pardon my tardiness and give me some tea?” “Of course! Come in, both of you. You’ll be coming down with pneumonia if you aren't careful!” She rushed inside to prepare tea, leaving Bobby outside staring at her companion in astonishment and chagrin. “Well, Miss Nelson-----” he said teasingly. “O, don't! cried Bobby. “You never will forget those awful things I said about you. It was too unjust! Please don’t remember them because I--------I’ve changed my mind about you.” “Hear my confession,” he said. “I ran off from your aunt’s tea this afternoon to keep from meeting you. I imagined you were spoiled and conceited. Altogether hateful! But please don’t remember that because I-----I've changed my mind about you.” “And I thought you were a jewel thief!” said Bobby, mournfully. “You what?” Bobby told him all the fears and suspense she had felt that afternoon when she thought he was a desperado, seeking a way in which to murder her for her necklace. Kenneth Worthington roared with laughter. He stood on the steps and laughed until Aunt Harriet called to ask him for an explanation. “There’s your aunt, he said, wiping his eyes. “Let's go in and tell her this joke. Its great. And, Bobby-------how about another hike tomorrow?” “A substitute shines brightly as a king, until a king be by.” _. r:i ' ____1—Z: Page ninety-eight 5© Kiijt te nan (§«r Jin't-ICaitn'cttP BACK in 1924, George Crocker first became known to the followers of the Red and White through the publication of his poems applied to basketball and other school activities in Morton. In 1924 the Richmond Item said: “While we are speaking of George Crocker, we’d like to mention that he’s the fellow whose likeness we’d like to have cut out in everlasting marble and set up somewhere prominently as ‘The Ideal Rooter.’ Morton never can realize what a friend he’s been to the school and to the team.” When the season opened in 1925, the sports editor of the Bloomington Star wrote Mr. Crocker for a poem on the famous “Victory Brick,” stating that he knew of no one who was better qualified to express the sentiments dedicating the little “hunk of clay.” The result must have been pleasing to the editor, who paid the following compliment: The result was beyond all George Crocker expectations, and our basketball poet has won a debt of gratitude. Some of Mr. Crocker’s best poems are: “Honorable Mention,” “Who’s Who?,” “Bobbed-Haired Basket Queens,” “Basketball in Heaven,” “You Can’t Keep ’Em Down,” “The Lone Grave,” “Our High School Paper,” “Our Morton Girl,” A Jinx that Passed in the Night,” and “To the Class of ’26.” We are pleased to print one of his finest poems: YOU CAN’T KEEP ’EM DOWN At last I have won all the wagers That I placed on our basketball team, So here’s to those Red Devil cagers Who jarred me from out of my dream. They have banished my doubt and my sorrow. And maintained our high school’s renown; Let's boost them today—not tomorrow, For you can’t keep the Red Devils down. Some say that the team is a bubble. And they argue of doubt and of fear, But why should we fail them in trouble, Or forsake them when vict’ry is near? The world will be so much the brighter If we laugh at its sneer and its frown. And the hearts of the team will be lighter. For you can’t keep the Red Devils down. There’s many whose friendship has blundered. And are lost to the pleasure it brings, I can count them today by the hundred, Whose friendship—like riches—had wings. I demand that they stand at attention And salute the team all over town: Then I’d swell up with pride when I mention They can’t keep the Red Devils down. So now as I draw hack the curtain And reveal the great school and its worth, In the past, with a future uncertain, Today there’s no better on earth. And the team, yea the team goes to conquer In their school's mighty race for the crown; Let us take off our hats to their honor. For you can't keep the Red Devils down. “A kinder gentleman treads not the earth.
