Miss Wolcott who has been instructor of Science for a little more than a year, has accepted a similar position in Hawarden, Iowa. Mr. Newman, of our manual training department, will probably teach next year, although his plans are not completed. Mr. McIntyre, instructor of the Smith-Hughes Course, and Miss Hovey, of the stenographic department, have also resigned. We especially ex- tend to Miss Hovey our very best wishes for we know that she leaves to become a bride. It is also a matter of regret to us that Miss Hudson, instructor of His- tory for two years and Miss Shafer, instructor of English for a year and a half, have resigned. Miss Hudson is not decided as to her plans but Miss Shafer has accepted a position as English instructor in the Proviso Township High School, a large school in the suburbs of Chicago. Although we are very sorry to see Miss Shafer go, we congratulate Maywood on its good fortune. Mr. Gill, who has been with us four years in the commercial department, leaves to take a similar position in Des Moines. Mr. Gill has been not only an excellent instructor, but also an invaluable member of the Watch Tower staff and will be greatly missed next year. The school also must part this year with Mr. A. G. Hill, for twelve years Director of Manual Tra ning, who is going into business in California. During all the time that Mr. Hill has served us, he has never ceased from his efficient 'helpfulness and inspiration. He has served in many responsible positions, and has won the respect of the school. It would be impossible to over-estimate the success of Mr. Hill in the nine years he was Manager ofAthletics. It was through his efforts that Athletic activities between Davenport and Rock Island were re- sumed after a lapse of some years. The boys themselves say that a better Manager could not be found. Mr. Hill has had charge of the repairs of all the city schools and has been instrumental in the planning of new buildings. The Manual Arts Building of High School was built with his direct supervision. The excellent night school which high school maintained for a number of years was brought about through the aid of Mr. Hill who was its principal. We are indeed sorry to lose Mr. Hill, but we wish him success in his new undertaking. I I We wish God-speed to those of our faculty who are leaving us this year 7 Q so , Way I3 WATCH TOWER T C Altlmlii Association ORGANIZED 1 874 i EKAH- persons having honorably graduated and received diplomas from fhe Rock Island High School shall be active members of this association. -Consth ' ' fi 18 4. - I tuUO'1?Tiie obiect of this association shall be to guard the interests of our high school to maintain the standing and efficiency, to guide public opinion tothe apprediation of the value. of a high school in our community, and to foster the ties of school fe'lowship. -Revised constitution of 1896.

Lyford, ,I7, Vice-President Marian Hubbard, ,IO , T Margaret Lawson, '16, Seereia y ' Mary' Clarke, ,I7 ' Richard Liitt, ,IO, Treasurer L Kirk Journy, '18 Meredith Ackley, ,I9, Advertising Manager V A I Due possibly to the lack of spirit in the organization itself and the high school as well, the interest of the Alumni has dwindled until it has become practically a nonentity,,' wrote a member of the Class of IQO8 in, the 1912 Com- mencement Number of the Watch Tower. Eventually, he continued, the alumni association will either become a large, life-less organization with no pur- pose except to go through the.. form of welcoming the graduates, or it will come to be an organization seething with life and activity, ready at all times to look toward the betterment of the school. ' Th: first comment tha the writer o the present article desi es to make on the above quoted lines is that the situations in .1912 and in the .present year of 1919 are quite similar. And secondly the writer thinks that '08 was a keen prophet and he qu'te agrees with his predictions. But, alas, it seems now that the first of the two possibilities has come true and the association has become Ualarge, lifeless organization. 'W bfnlt Lemains for each and every member of this great organization to help g .3 out 3 Change- Attendance at the eunions in the past has not been what it should.

HUNTOON H Q Dem' Teezelzers, Friends and Fellow Sfuez'em1v:- HIS is a commencement filled with rejoicing for everyone. The black cloud of war which during the recent years hung so heavily over our heads, and whose very blackness filled our hearts with sadness, has at last lifted. This class of 1919 is proudto be one of the first classes to step out to meet the new conditions. Although the actual fighting is over, thestruggle is not yet ended. There is still much work to be accomplished. For years .men have been tearing down what it took hundreds of years to build. This work must all be done over. We members of this graduating class are ready and willing to put our shoulders to the wheel in the great task of reconstruction, and also to aid in establishing and maintaining the democracy which our boys fought to preserve. In 'behalf of the class of 1919, I wish to welcome you, teachers, to out class day exercises and to thank you at this time for the faithfulness you have displayed in training us for our work in the future. 1 Our life here in school has only been a training camp, in which you have tried to teach us how to become soldiers of life. Perhaps 'many times, we have thought the discipline you insisted upon was too strict, but we realize now and will realize more and more .in the years to come that we will encounter this same discipline no matter what work we undertake, and without it nothing can be accomplished. The thoughtsyou have instilled into our minds, and the ideals you have placed before us ought to help us to steer a straight and ,steady course through life. To you, friends and relatives, I extend a hearty welcome. We owe you a great debt. It is due to you that we have been able to obtain an education. Cur appreciation can be shown by the use we make of this gift of yours in the coming years better than by mere words. Your interest in us has always been an en- couragement, and your faith and trust in us, a trumpet call clear to do our best in spite of all handicaps. It is our earnest wish that we may prove a credit. to you in return for all that you have done for us. A I Welcome you fellow students. For four long happy years we have worked and played together. In those four years we have not always worked in harmony, I am sorry to say, but the success we have had when we did all pull together quite overbalances any small petty troubles we may have had. These same successes have cemented our friendship and proved to us that we ought to place thei good of the school above everything else. We ought to work as one person, one unit, not as indidvidualsor groups. We are confident that you will do this next year, and that you will carry thelbanner of Rock Island High School on to victory. f Again, in behalf of the class of 1919, I extend a hearty and sincere welcome to you all. I 4 3.1 'WATCH TOWER 4 N Class History GLADYS MALMROSE HILE making a monogram for the class of ,IQ, each golden letter, as I 'placed it upon the field of black, brought back to me memories of a past year. When thelast stitch held secure the fourth letter, and my reverie was broken, I remembered that a dream of four years had been realized. In 1915 a group of people who had emigrated from various Lands of Smaller Learning to a Country of Higher Scholarship were admitted as a new state to this democracy. Its fundamental principles were friendship, fellowship, and scholar- ship. ' 1 I t The aim of these 290 citizens was to reach the City of Knowledge. But in order to do this they must pass over a long and difficult' road. To insure their safe arrival at their destination they first organized. A popular vote was taken electing 'William McComb, president, Evelyn Hudson, vice-president, Dorothy Cleaveland, secretary of state, and Martha Riddell, secretary of treasury. Their Hrst' great difficulty was to keep from getting lost in this large, strange country. Having mastered the geography of the place they found that the City of Knowledge stood on a high summit at the end of a road called Hard Study. Along this road there were many by-paths. ' Une of these was Easy Street. Those who took this path were left far behind. 9 By the second year they had lost some of their timidness, and having become acquainted, with the customs of this new country advanced rapidly. Une evening at sunset they came to Pleasure Grove. Here butterflies of many colors Huttered about in the air, birds sang sweetly among the cherry blossoms, and fish swam quietly in the shiningslake., This was Japan. They were served with rice and tea by beautiful maidens in flowing garments. As the hours of frolic came to a close, eachpatriot was glad to-exchange the costume of Japan for that of his own country. I ' when the third milestone was reached the road grew steeper, but along the WQYSICIG WSIS trees of ambition spurring them on. The first notorious event was a political campaign between the fourstates of the democracy. The polls opened fit mme Oiclock M011d3Y5OCfOlDG1' 29, and closed four-forty-frve Friday, November 5- fhe returns were given at five o'clock:. ,I9 hadlgecuygd the most Subscriptions for the lVafciz Tower.

To the basket ball team she gave three stars, of the football eleven she claimed five. As well as in physical ability, she stood high in mental talent. With such a great national wealth ,IQ must succeed. ' A ' - May 28iall former rivalry was laid aside and a reception was given to the Senior state which would secede in a few days. 4 After this therewas only one more year of hard climbing before they would reach the City of Knowledge. The road had been difficult in some places, forcing some to stay behind and others to seek different paths. When the census was taken this year it showed that the population had decreased to 96. From the election held. the returns were for president, Meredith Ackley, vice president, Paul Parker, secretary of state, Kieth Nelson, and secretary' of treasury, Victoria Wilhelm. , Another Watch Tower campaign was held and by the majority of one sub- scription ,I9 was entitled to a second Watch T ofwer party. Not satisfied with these achievements, spring-brought the desire to make some lasting contribution to the progress of the nation. A So on April 25 and 26 the dramatists of the state presented to the public The Fortune Hunter . Through the good management, the earnest work of the members of the caste and the un- tiring efforts of Miss Pearce, the play was a great success. Besides affording much enjoyment it was so great a financial success as to enable the state to add a gen- erousamount to the cause of democracy. Near the end of their sojourn they came to a meadow with an abundance of bright golden daisies. Gf these they gathered large bouquets to take with them to the end of the journey.

A 5. 9 tl 33 WATCH TOWER Farewell Address PAUL SOMMER HE class of 1919 is about to make its adieus. Associations that have in the course of time become very dear must be severed. Four busy years have passed since we entered upon our High School course - four years that have witnessed the most profound political,economic, and social changes that all history has to record. A system of militarism that for a time ,threatened to crush the peoples of the world under its iron heel has been brought to nought. It should be our mission, together withthe other thousands who take their leave from high schools throughout the nation this month to conserve the fruits of this greal victory. But e're we part it seems fitting that we should gratefully acknowledge our debt to those through whose efforts it has been-made possible for us to appear before you as the Class of 1919. We are the heirs to all the ages. The opportun- ity to come into our own we owe primarily to the great system of public schools that prevails in this country. Had it not been for our public schools many of us assembled would have had little or no education, and our capacity for service would have been correspondingly limited. It has been truly said that so long as the little Red School-house stands, democracy is secure. Uur intellectual development is born of the schools of Rock Island. And while we feela community spirit towards all schools in the same manner that we feel the kinship of the whole human family, yet as we are held by stronger bonds to our parents, so it is with our affection for this particular school. The years we have spent in this building have engendered friendships thatl will endure. We have studied together, we have worked together, we have grownl to know each other and to value the associations that have been formed here. Four years ago our class entered Rock Island High School as Freshmen. We: looked forward to the time when we should don our caps and gowns. We have at lastlreached our goal. The road has often been beset' with obstacles. At times it has seemed that some persons weretaking an unholy delight in seizing upon our youth and innocence. But somehow or other we managed to Hmuddle through. We leave you this ,parting injunction, garnered,from our own rich experience: Hur fC3ChC1'S mean Wellp Qften you will know how mistaken they are, but in the Interests of hafmonlfi C10 as they tell you. They recognize your giant intellects. Only they feel that if they let you know they realize how wonderfully brilliant you are: It mlghf SPOH YOU- But in the endyou will be all the better for it. Look at us assembled here and take courage, Q . . i of .ers 1S such an obligation. They have labored with Us 10118 and faithfully, guiding uswhen we would go astray- speeding us When we would falter, giving courageewhen the way was hard. They have been more than, lf COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 'IQIQ our teachers - they have been ou-r friends. What we are today has been largely determined by their influence. The parting brings regrets. Though we would perhaps tarry longer, the fact that we are growing into manhood and womanhood bids us enter a new world - a world in which we shall be called upon to share the burden of responsibility. ' i We stand at the dawn of a new era. From the East there comes a glow. Is it a reflection of a consuming flame? Does it portend World destruction? . Gr is it the rising sun of a new day -'a day in which all shall be better? Some de- nounce it Bolshevism and tremble at its approach. 'Others hail it Bolshevism , feeling that it will strike off chains of poverty and slavery. This is the problem that confronts us. 'It cannot be evadedg it should not be evaded. We are youths today. Tomorrow we enter what is to us, a new world. The day after tomorrow we will be men and Women, and upon us will devolve the necessity of attempting the-solution of the new problems. We are the heirs to all the ages. May it be given us to face the future with courage and wisdom, for courage and wisdom will be needed as never before. May our minds be open to new truths regardless of the sources, from whence they come. May our hearts be cleaned of all prejudice, that we may grapple with the future unhindered by the pitfalls of a dying past. And now we go forth as others have gone before us. For our fellow students we bespeak the sympathy and co-operation of the Facultyg in behalf of the fac- ulty we would ask the same good will and co-operation of the studentsg, for ourselves We crave your well wishesg and we promise in our turn ever to cherish the as- sociations that have meant so much to all of us.

HE comment of the press reflects the favorable impression with which the public in attendance received the earnest efforts of the cast presenting. the Senior Class play. Showing two nights, April 23 and 25, to capacity houses, The Fortune Hunter will long be remembered as a finished production and a' real entertainment, presented by the Seniors with such a degree of success and sat- isfactionvas never heretofore attained in similar undertakings. A I Much credit is due the staff for the preliminary organization. VVith Mere- dith Ackley as business manager and Keith Nelson, as his assistant, the advance preparations were efficiently planned and thoroughly executed. An' intensive and energetic advertising campaign was in charge of Paul Sommer, Francis Dunn and Reid Ray as a committee, and the Tri-Cities surely hadlample notice of the event of the season, by means of forceful ads, banners, and parades. The ad- vertising campaign, coupled with thorough selling plans and faithful cooperation of the students, all resulted in 'taxing the seating 'capacity both nights and swell- ing the box oilice receipts. lt was no small task handled by John Littig to provide andiplace all the properties used in the production, the settings being appropriate and true to life in every scene of the play. Much of the credit for the successful presentation of The Fortune Hunter is freely and universally accorded Miss Pearce, the coach and directress, who so developed and trained the entire cast that the result showed her good judgment in the assignments of the various parts to those who, without exception, played to the degree expected of stars. Miss Pearce's faithful and well directed efforts were apparent throughout the entire production. , lt is quite probable that no better selection of a cast could have been made, for be it remembered that each and every one of the characters spoke their lines and acted their parts naturally and seriously. Miss Agatha Pedersen, as Betty, the druggist's daughter, seemed to live the part, and her distinctly spoken lines together' with an easy stage presence, won general Commendation. Howard Holcombe as Nat, the fortune hunter, played his part with excellent and faithful interpretation. Francis Dunn impersonated Sam Graham, the druggist, in an appealing manner, his portrayal of the good-hearted but unfortunate old gentle- man in the various scenes of the play being true to life. Ray Rietz was thoroughly at home in his part of Henry Kellogg, the young iinancerg his freedom of action and easy delivery being particularly manifest. The part of Robbins, Natls valet, was carried out to perfection by Daniel Murphy. As the promoter, Julius Levin- 41 qvvgnmwalsrmixrqpwwrmvgmw www!-Wvisiivfvmlw--iii..-!.aR!g'i U i ' -' f -PL1-1:22--::,3....-:fe-Q...W-.,....,..,..:,,,,.,..u,,,..A..,.,.,.,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,-.-,,-m-,-- --in-,MH AMWNNMI pu- - V L , fm..--1-Y s-1-mzqwe-mae,---W, 1 ,-fn.. .

He and Carl Erbstein, the banker, impressed everyonelwith theircleverness in handling the .financial-aspects of the story. Marvin Lincke and Reid Raytopened the second actfwith rural atmos- phere, in twopsmaii ,town characters of the dry-goods-box-loafing variety whose observations were quaintly funny and- characteristic. Tracy Tanner, played by Paul Anderson, was a strong part, well portrayed, his ,comedy li:i3iterp'reitai'tions drawing imuch laughterp Norman Tiniiiiiiieiiiman as Roland Barnett, afraid to fight, yet anxious to marry the heiress, was thoroughly successful in depicting the jealous lover. Miss Rose Ziffrin, as the banker's daughter, played, the part of the haughty heiress with skill and good effect, her impersonation ofthe belle of the town being a faithful portrayal of the adage, all dressed up and no place to go , Sperry, the drummer, otherwise known as Richard Sinn, was a clean-cut, thorough-going knight of the sample case. Marion Brown as Angie was a highly acceptable sweetheart to Tracy Tanner, while Ralph Benson, as the sheriff with the bravado in publicand the bibulous habits at home, left nothing to be desired. Rose Pewe, Victoria Wilhelm, Dorothy Kaupke, and Gertrude Patting made very charming village girls. The Fortune Hunter was a thorough success and an event long to be re- membered by the high school and its patrons. ' T , 0 .gxifix 43 l i Here they are, almost everyone of the class of '2o, but some just won't pose you know. This is the class that sol excitedly entered the brick enclosures of our good old Rock Island High School on September fifth, nineteen sixteen. From that day to this,, their merry laughter ihas fairly rung through the halls. They went through their Freshman year ,managing to exist as all Freshies dog but at times the pep displayed at their class meetings and at the games seemed to overpower the upperclassmen. They are still proud- of their Freshman honors won at the girls Big Eight. - Q . ' B - V - At the beginning of last year, they were able to win the battle over that bothersome Sophomore jinx. They did well in the Liberty 'Bond campaign, but they did even better in the ,Thrift Stamp drive, for they won over the other classes by 'a large majorityj A beautiful class pennant was awarded them for their unusual efforts in this drivej S r t ,V j In the girlsf Big Eight, they represented thelschool a-second time and they gave good support to the basketball and foot- ball teams. This year they started out to do better than ever before, and if you think they haven't, just stop' a minute and count the Juniors on the football team, and the Girls' Big Eightf' Remember the Junior-Senior party, their share of the Mixer and the Athletic party and oh! so many other events .too numerous to mention. i We will just have to give itto the Juniors and say with the rest of the school, as the expression-is, Boosters, that's them all over, ' p V I hir ahnfa of the I ,D In 5 lb U In 5 'R ,gt ,V .1 ,F U 'ri E hwllll E5 n ii 0 E-' 1 - 1 ,- C I .

No class can surpass them in the Literary or Athletic field.. As for pep'f and enthusiasm they are absolutely uequaled for they did, not succumb to the usual Sophomore jinX. At the beginning of the year, the Sophomores elected Frier lVIcColflister president of the class, Sara Totten, vice president, Jean Huntoon, secretary, and Marcus Beal, treasurer. Asa Watch Tower editor, Thesis Hickok was chosen, and she has proved her worth' in gold for through her efforts this number ofthe Watch Tower is dedicated to the class of ,QI-. L in ' ' -, With such an honor as this,-one may believe that the Sophs needno .further mention to show their worth. But there are fnany fafnous persons in this class who have helped the class reach the pinnacle of fame which they now occupy. Ofthese many. persons only a few can be mentioned. - ' I i,'.

I V ' I g ' I Q p ps V - F1'ie1'McC011ister Jean Huntoon Sarah Totten Marcus Beal I The Sophomore Circus All aboard for the Sophomore Circus! . ' e I whirled about on hearing that voice! VVhy it was Bob Bolster and ,in a conductor's suit too! I rushed up to him asking what it was all about. The Sophomores are having a circus, better go. It will be swell. I jumped on the train. Members of all the classes of high school were there. The band, in which Mr. Lau lead with a drum, was playing a jolly jazztime. Milred Anderson and Cornelia Comegys matched pennies all the way to the circus grounds. Amid the shouting and din we soon arrived at the grounds. - Jumping off the train, I ran up to the ticket sellerls window. There was Marcus Beal selling tickets, showing marked ability for making change. I noticed that he let Helen Galifey in for half fare. I passed through the gate, where Dick Bennett and Einar Bersell were collecting tickets. Carroll Black and Reginald Boehme acted as monitors. It seemed homelike to see them there. I I walked around until I discovered Art Cameron decked out like a cow boy and wearing his customary maiden blush . I'm shamed to admit it, but I was SO glad to see him, that I embraced him.He told me Cafter I had run down like a victrolaj that Frier McCollister was preseident of the Crcusg Sara Totten, Vice President, Jean Huntoon, Secretary, and Marcul Beal, Treasurer. They all held the same offices as in the Sophomore class. After Art had explained about the circus company, he invited me to see the side shows. We pushed our way thru the crowd and went into the first tent. There was Margaret Whitebook posing as the fat lady from Sardines and Yolanda Mahaffey as the skinny skeleton from Beanpole. Neither of the girls had changed. We werestanding there, when I heard a dull tapping sound. Turning around I dis- covered Ivory Bronson tapping his head with a hammer. We Went on to another tent. There was Rolf Peterson giving an oration on How to make change at a Lunch Counter. I had stopped to listen to the oration when irate voices sounded behind me. I turned.

While waiting with eagerness for the first scene, I looked around me ...... . There were Carl Ackerman and Lloyd Anderson with the Adams girls. Alice Chambers and Anna Cleaveland were having a debate in a distant corner. Della Marks and Hada Morris were enjoying themselves with George Pannell. Then an orchestra, consisting of Mildred Anderson, Geneva Anderson, Cora Butt, Marian Frasier and Jerry VVhitney came forward, playing a funeral march .for the Seniors of 'i9. ln came the cowboys, with a yell.

On December 9, the first three met the Davenport team in their assembly and the remaining three met Davenport's team here. Both teams were beaten. Our Big Eight representative was Rolf Peterson. He failed to secure a place, but he did remarkably well, however. The members of the team together with Miss Pearce deserve credit for the service rendered to the school. With practically no training and in answer to an emergency call, the boys stepped forward and did their bit.

This is called the Student Council which is composed of thirty-two members: eight members of each class, four boys and the same nilmber of girls. - e This body is organized for the following purposez- s i 1. To train its members and also the student body in helping to conduct the school in the spirit of good will and service. . 2. To do all in its power to build up the principle of student self 'governf ment CID as the best means of assisting the school officers and teachers in the Work of education, C25 as the best means of training for the responsibilities of citizen- ship in a democracy. 3. The high -schoolis a community in which each student is a citizennow. As such he or she has duties and responsibilities as well as rights and privileges It is the idea of the Council to demonstrate thru the student body, that students are capable of assisting in governing the school, realizing that proof of this ability rests with the students in the way they respond to the call for co-operation. With the above purpose in mind, the Student Council has given to the school many rules concerning questions of vital importance. Thru its successfulefforts, the students have enjoyed more activities, entering into each with the ,true Rock Island spirit. Thru its efficiency the school has raised its standard of workman- ship, having inspired the students to work harder and more faithfully. With such a successful beginning for the Student Council we-have good ground for the hope that with the co-operation and efforts of every student, the Student Council will surely and successfully bring our own Rock Island I-Iigh School Over the top to a long desired goal: First in spirit, first in service, and first in the hearts of every boy and girl.

Its force in the' affairs of the school and in movementg of 3 progressive and C. nstructive nature has repeatedly been felt. The club roster for the present ye lays just claims to one of the largest membership in the history 'Que or anization. A perusal of the personnel of the club will convince all Av r 1' if 1 i t ose in Sosition to know that most of the live wires are allied with this or- ganization of the school. The progress of the club for the past year has been a varied and exceptional one. Variety is the spice of life they say, and the 1919 Hi-Y Club believes that these variations have been unusually interesting and beneficial to all. Much credit should be accorded the president, Ray. Rietz, of the Hi-Y for the capable and efficient manner in which he has directed the affairs of the club for the past year. It is largely due to this untiring efforts and enthusiasm for the club that the organization has met with the great success that it boasts of to-day. Two events during the past school year deserving especial mention are the, occasion of the visit to the East Moline High School by the Hi-Y Club of Rock Island, and the presence of the Devil Dog , Lieutenant Wayland C. Brooks at one of the regular Hi-Y meetings. Concerning the former affair it might be said that the purpose of such a meeting was two-fold: to urge and assist the-. boys Of our sister city to organize and develop a Hi-Y Club of their own, and to unite the two schools more closely and securely through the medium of social fellow- ship.

The team cleaned up the tri-city and district championships and only lost two games during- the whole season. The first defeat was administered by the Alumni who had on all star team composed of college players. The other was by Herrin in iwhichwe lost our chance for a state championship. Rock Island always has been noted for its good basketball teams. The principal reason why they have beenlso suc- cessful is because there were no individual stars. The team worked together as a unit, each man did the post assigned him to the best of his ability and without crabbingg and with that spirit, they could not help but win. The wonderful spirit and the never say die 'attitude of the team was illustrated when they came back in the last, half of the Galesburg game and tookthe championship by two points. The rooters are to be given a great deal of credit. They supported the team loyally at all home games, and at the district tournament. That tour- nament will go down in history as the best one, judging from all standpoints, that was ever held .'., , LETTERMEN Rock Island had only two experienced men on the team this year.

Of the first variety we have had several samples, some we will admit has been rather sickening, but others. have been very, very good.

Now we don't know just who gets all these eggs, but by this time they ought to have a pretty good setting. Again after school is a grand rush.

I Alas the poor little familiar brown, chummy has met her fate. And at the hands of her loving mistress, too. But this is a trifle when you consider that Mig is now actually Toofless. This is how it all happened. Mig was on one of her usual canters-the speed limit throw to the wind. The chummy shot up the street at a ter- rific rate. This was a fair warning for all others to clear out. Mig is used, always, to the right of way. Citizens all realize this, all except one stubborn truck driver, for he absolutely refused to obey the Mig clause of our law . . The two vehicles approached each other. The fair damsel at the wheel did not weaken, and rathe- stepped on it She would show this young impertinent that she had the right of way wherever she went four hearts includedj. ' , Vesta, by her side, screeched out wildly, Mig Mig! Oh help!! Frantic screams and horrible noises filled the air. Crash! The deed was done. Mig was minus two front teeth and the car was scattered all over the block. -Not stopping to pick up the rema.ins in either case, the two stricken maidens managed to pick their way to the school building. A crowd soon gathered and amid much lisping on Mig's part and much histericalness on Vesta's part, the story was finally patched together. Now, we never knew Mig was vain. She has always been so modest about her beauty, but now we wonder: for thc accident really seemed to her to be nothing but the loss of her two beautiful pearls. We are now mourn- ing the passing of Mig's happy, whole- hearted laugh. V it ' Henceforth, we warrant Miggy will have unprecedented right of way. , BIGGEST CELEBRATION EVER KNOWN Popular Young Folks of Korn Kolb Step M...
