' T Q , 1 Q A 'Q X N n 4 H-.2 r , X E L I , n x THOMAS ALVA EDISON In Milan, Ohio, on February ll, 1847, a son was born to Samuel and Nancy Edison. They named the child Thomas Alva. A Because this child was far from strong, he was able to attend school but very little. His mother taught him at home, however, and in this way he received a better education than he could have received at the schools of that time. 2+ . . . :ww-n....-.a.. While still very young Al showed a great interest in chemistry and elec- tricity. He tried many experiments and established a little laboratory in the cellar of his home. All the bottles in his laboratory were labeled 'CPOISONI' so that no one would disturb them. As a further experiment one day he tied an umbrella to a cat's tail and threw the cat out of a second story window to see if the umbrella would actaas a parachute. In order to get spending money to pay for his chemicals and books, UAV applied for the privilege of selling newspapers on the train between Port Huron and Detroit. Though only twelve years old he was ambitious and soon worked up a good trade, having other boys to help him. He secured the use of a part of a baggage car to use as a laboratory and a print shop. The industrious boy printed a small paper, The Weekly' Ilemldf' He published news on the Civil Var and circulated it about the rural sections through which the train passed. , V ii.. ff S.'1,.fa Q -of In August, 1862, he rescued the station masteris little boy from being run over by a box car which had been pushed out on a siding and was rapidly approach- ing the child. Out of gratitude the station master offered to teach him train telegraphy. This gave Edison his first real chance to study telegraphy which he later improved upon. He was busy with his telegraphy, printing, and chemistry when disaster came. A piece of phosphorous fell onto the tlloor of the box car laboratory and set fire to the car. The fire was put out before damage was done, but at the next station the boy and his possessions were Hkickedl' oil the train. After this Edison took up telegraphy in earnest. He then drifted to various telegraph offices. It was While working at the VVestern Union in Boston in 1869 that he took out his first patent. This was the first of the fourteen hundred Which bear his name. C ' ii ,TKTXRTY V A l g i 1 J T is F d Q me i- eral r L Q H... A-L Edison's patents brought him considerable Wealth, and soon he established a small laboratory of his own and employed fifty men to assist him. Here he invented the phonograph, the incandescent lamp and many other of his numerous inventions among which are those to perfect the typewriter, the telephone, and the movie and 4'talkie machines. He invented the mimeograph, the micro- phone, the taximeter, and the automatic repeater. During the World VVar his inventions, the telescribe and the transophone, were of great use to the army and navy. He made about forty-five inventions during the War period. Thomas Edison Was untiring. All the World is indeed deeply indebted to him. He was truly the '4VVizard of Science. 1 X 56,17 'l L- f ui Vfifxa P- - .-:: The principal inventions of Thomas Alva Edison form the theme of our book. These fruits of the endless labor of the man Whose slogan was Uworkv which have so completely revolutionized the civilization of the World are represented on the division pages. VVe have chosen those of his creations most symbolic of the divisions of our book. W'e sincerely appreciate the splendid work and assistance of the art depart- ment and the Henry Ford Company in furnishing the aids to a visualization of our theme. The designs for the division pages and end pieces were made by Paula Deubert '33, Nfarian Krakora '32, Dick Steenburg 734, and David Irwin '32. It is our hope that as you read this book you will be inspired and uplifted by the soul and spirit of the genius whose works are here shown.

V, 1 M In addition to the regular divisions of the school there are several departments which aid in the success of the school's curriculum. A li- brary of approximately eight thousand books is maintained Where students may borrow bool-as and Where they may study. Supervised study is carried on in three study halls at all periods of the day. To minimize the cost of books the school has established a book store which rents the textbooks to the students at a nominal fee. Other supplies are sold here at cost. At noon a hot meal awaits the students in the cafeteria. The food is sold at cost. In the principal's office, students gain practical office experience in help- ing with the regular work there.

At the beginning Of each semester the club holds a Dutch night supper meeting which serves as a mixer. The girls dressed dolls for the Bethany Home children and entertained the children at a Christmas party. y A roller-skating party which was held at the American Legion Hall and the valentine banquet which was given at the Y.

The senior farewell banquet and the ring ceremonial which took place in May formed a very distinctive close to a successful year. ln addition to the major events many interesting biweekly meetings were held, among which were a cootie party, recognition services, plays, speakers, supper meetings, song bag meeting, Easter service, camp meeting, and penny dances.

Page Sixty-one INTRODUCTORY PAGE TO DRAMATICS Under the careful supervision of hfliss Dorothy Peterson, drarnatics has gained a reputable standing in the school. For those interested in this type of work, this field has proved to be one of great value. The plays presented here have been faultlessly produced and enacted. The Dramatic Club adopted a new policy this year of giving short one-act plays during its meetings. These were directed by individuals of the club and gave an opportunity for those not active in other dramatic fields to display their acting ability. The characters of the various plays during the year are given here, and a description of the major presentations is given in the following pages. 4 fCappy Ricks!! December IS Cappy Ricks ......,..

This evening's performance of 4' Cappy Ricksn by members of the Dramatic Club opens the dramatic social season at the high school. This is Station VVTAS broadcasting from a vantage point in the auditorium. Splendid, splendid! Now for a brief review of the two acts. Cappy Ricks, a sixty-year-old shipping merchant has been beaten at his own game by a young man named Nlatt Peasley, from Cappy's home town. Florry, Cappy's daughter, is Mattls silent partner under the name of Goldie Glake. Cecil Bernard, a very affected young man and friend of the Ricks has been sent west for the purpose of carrying out the one wish of the two families, the marriage of Cecil and Florry. However, Cecil is in love with the real Goldie Glake, Cappy's secretary, Ellen Nlurray. Cecil tells Xlatt how much Goldie loves him, QCecil, of coursel thereby arousing lNlatt's anger, for he believes Florry is Goldie Glake. Cappy and his right-hand man, Skinner, have been defeated in a big deal by the Red Diamond Company, and Cappy is seeing red. As yet, no one knows that Florry is in business against her father. It so happened that Lucy, Cappy's sister, discovered the cause of the trouble and told Cappy about it. Cappy was delighted for he felt he had the upper hand over that young whippersnapper, Matt Peasley, for as the Glake part of the firm was an assumed name, all the transactions were void. Cappy was wrong, for Matt secured his charter from another company, and he was safe. Skinner prepared hlatt for the coming ordeal and explained the mix-up in identities. Cappy dealt the fatal blow while Matt feigned humbleness. That made Cappy happy, Nlatt and Florry were united and happy, Cecil and Ellen were happyg is everybody happy? Page Sixty-three SPEECH CLASS PLAYS WTAS on the air! This is January 27, folks, the end of the semester and the night of the Speech Class plays.

But before I do, let's have a look around me. Lots and lots of people here tonight. They donit mind the fearful lXfIarch weather when one of lXfIiss Peterson's plays is on hand. Now let's turn our attention to 'cThe Family Upstairs. From all appear- ances, they represent the typical family of today. Nlrs. Heller, mother of Louise, Willie, and Annabelle, has her troubles, Annabelle, the youngest, just wonit practice, and,it's a terrific problem to shield seventeen-year-old VVillie from her husband's all too frequent attacks concerning Willie's laziness. XVe all know Mrs. Heller. She is the type of mother who loves her daughter and thinks that all she advises is for her daughteris own good! Louise is twenty- one nowg pretty and clever, but she has no friends. She spends her days in an office and her evenings at home listening to the counsels of her mother. However, Louise surprises the family. She has a friend, Charles Grant, a very dear friend, in fact, to whom she becomes engaged, but fearing her motherls sagacity, she keeps the engagement a secret. In the meantime, Nfrs. Heller has done a very good job in elaborating to the neighbors on the fact that Charles is employed in a bank, earns 5540 a week on which he supports his mother and small sister. lVIrs. Heller's enthusiasm becomes so extreme that it is the means of breaking Louise's and Charles' engagement. Then the whole family joins in a big sob scene during which RIrs. Heller sobbingly argues that she didn't mean any harm, and the lies were only little white ones. At this point, Father comes to the front and devises a scheme to bring the two together again, thus saving the day. Mrs. Grant arrives in time to share in the rejoicing. Page Sixty-five i OPERETTA HTulip Time ' Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! ,Tis 4'Tulip Timei'-in Holland, and the villagers of Osendorf are all dressed up in blue and white for the occasion Ceven down to their wooden shoesll. Christina, Katinka, Hans, Aunt Anna, and even Hendrik Yan Ooster, the Burgomaster, country clerk, juvenile officer, the law, Justice of the Peace. etc., are among the many celebrants. But this, my friends, is capped by another event, the arrival of a professor of Botany, Theophilus KlcSpindle, and his two students, Ned Baxter and Dick YYarren, who have come for the purpose of study- ing the famous tulips. Ned, however, becomes interested in Christina and Dick finds a place in his heart for Katinka. Ch, but wouldn't that be the way? Cf course, the professor would insist on being an unwelcome third party. In the midst of the holiday festivities comes the report that a tulip thief was abroad! He was described as wearing a silk hat, a red tie, and carrying an umbrella. This is a serious affair to the villagers, but to Ned and Dick it offers a solution to their problem. And now, a plot against the professor begins to thicken. Ned and Dick persuade the unsuspecting man to don his best clothes and entcr into the festivi- ties. Wvith his silk hat, red tie and umbrella the professor makes a very good imitation of the tulip thief. Imagine the Burgomaster's surprise and great pride when he spies the thief Calias the professorj and puts him in jail. Now the two couples are free to enjoy themselves. However, Christina is perplexed, for she holds some American stock which her father bought years ago, and which the Burgomaster is very desirous of buying. She goes to Ned for aid, and learns that her stock is very valuable, for it represents shares in the General hlotors Co. Naturally Yan Ooster is chagrined, but heas a good-hearted soul after all, and agrees to perform his duties as Justice ofthe Peace. Kleanwhile the professor is freed and decides that he and Aunt Anna should help out and make the great event a triple affair. CBut this time, its Hot an unwelcome third partyll Page Sixty-six SENIOR PLAY HBeggar on Horsebaekw l'm all excited this evening, ladies and gentlemen. I've heard so much about the individuality of this play, Bfggar on Uorffback, that lim ready to expect most anything. How different the stage looks! The right side is built out, and the grand piano is on this extension. This is unique! Ylvell, here itisl ,Neil lVlcRae, a poor, struggling composer, is visited by the Cady family, Nlr. and Klrs. Cady, Gladys Cady, and Homer Cady, friends of Neil's when he lived in Livingston. Arriving unexpectedly, Dr. Albert Rice also an old friend from Livingston, is forced to Ustay and help out. Cynthia lX'lason, the girl across the hall, and incidentally, Neills sweetheart, performs the duties of hostess. Since Gladys is rich and Neil is poor, Dr. Rice later decides that Neil should marry Gladys, and thus he would be able to make a success of his composing. Cynthia, realizing that such a plan will be for Neills benefit, gives up her own hopes in order to further Neil's ambition. As these arrangements between Cynthia and Dr. Rice are concluded, the sleeping potion which Dr. Rice had previously given to Neil, begins to have its effect, and just as Neil has finished his conver- sation with Gladys during which he asks her to marry him, he falls asleep and dreams, He is taken into the HXYidget businessj' and makes a great deal of money, but finally, he becomes so harassed that he stabs and kills all four members of the family. Poor Neil is sentenced to life in the HConsolidated Art Factoryf, where he sits, year in and year out, in a cage. At last he becomes desperate and breaks out of his cell, and again Cynthia comes to his aid in providing an executioner for the poor harassed man. As the knife descends, the stage darkens and we find Neil once again in his studio apartment awakening from his dream. Cynthia enters, to inquire about his health, and here Neil discovers that he did ask Gladys to marry him. just at this tragic point, Gladys enters and willingly relieves Neil of the burden of his forced engagement.

FOOTBALL Close to sixty candidates met with Coach Kenneth Green at the Rock Island Public School's Stadium last Labor Day to compete for positions on the first team football squad. Viiith the opening of school the sixty swelled to nearly ninety, and prospects for a winning team were good, even though experienced gridders were lacking. The boys were drilled hard, and all went through a strenuous workout each evening. YVith high hopes the squad went out to meet Spring Yalley, their first opponent. Coach Richard Nesti's eleven, however, proved too powerful for the Crimson. Other losses followed and it was not until the game with the Cedar Rapids squad from Grant High School that Rock Island scored their first victory. Still more losses followed, including the disastrous defeats to both lXf'Ioline and Davenport, until Rock Island played Quincy and won by a score of 20 to 2. On Thanksgiving morning, Rock Island was also defeated in a close charity game with St. Joseph High School. From the brief summary of the football activities this season, one can readily see that the wins and losses of the team did not favorably balance, however, throughout the entire season the spirit of true sportsmanship of the squad was not vanquished in spite of their being handicapped by lack of weight, injuries to members of the team, and certain other unfavorable conditions. They fought hard through every game, with no letting up until the final whistle blew. The players who were the most outstanding and consistent in their playing were: Porter, quarterback, Captain Irwin, center, and Lundgren, tackle. Nelson, halfback, was the only man to make the tri-city first team, while Captain Irwin and Lundgren made the tri-city second team.

BASKETBALL Coach Green's quintet sallied forth Friday, December 11, to play their first game with lN'Iuscatine, but due to the shortness of the Crimson training, the powerful Muskies defeated the Rock Island squad. It was not until the game with East Moline that Rock Island won their first initial victory. Then, after being defeated by both Monmouth and Kewanee, they took revenge on Orion and won by a score of 28422. Then East Moline, using the slogan, An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, etc., turned around and dealt us a decisive defeat, but more determined than ever, Rock Island won a splendid victory over the powerful Davenport quintet. Then, except for the defeat to Moline, the Crimson took the two remaining games on their schedule: Rock Island 44, Orion 36, Rock Island 26, Geneseo 17. Then, in a post-season game, Rock Island avenged their football loss, by winning a thrilling one-point victory over St. Joseph high school. Soon the district tournament started, and Rock Island as the dark horse and under dog of the tournament, came through splendidly to capture the entire tournament. Our first game was played with Joy, Wednesday evening. Rock Island won by a score of 35 to 14. This matched the Crimson with East KIoline, the quad-city champions. In an exciting game Friday evening, Rock Island won 26 to 24. The next game, played with Sherrard, Saturday afternoon, Rock Island won a decisive 31 to 12 victory. Now it so happened that Rock Island was matched in the finals with their old rival, Nfoline. XIoline had beaten us twice this season and the feeling ran high. The tilt was run off Saturday night and Rock Island played a fast and exciting game to win a sensational 21 to 20 victory from hfoline and to cop the tournament. This is only the second time that a Rock Island team has fwon the district tournament since it was started in 1921. Up to that point, the Crimson had won nine out of twelve games since the begin- ning of the second semester.

TRACK During the first week of practice the weather was a bit chilly, and the track was not in the best of shape, however, Coach Kimmel put the squad through light workouts. Soon, the weather improved and the squad began training in earnest and the athletes were in condition for the first meet, which was with East hrloline, Saturday, April 9. Rock Island won this meet by a big margin, 9l to 35. The Crimson athletes took nine first places out of the fourteen events and twelve second places. The next meet was to be with Davenport. The team trained hard getting in shape for this meet. The meet was scheduled to be held Saturday, April l6, however it was postponed until the following Klonday because of unfavorable weather conditions. Davenport had a strong team, especially in the field events, and because of this fact, Rock Island was handed its first defeat. In this meet Ralph De Reus smashed his own record in the quarter-mile run, running the course in 53.9 seconds against his former record of S-1.2. The following Saturday the Islanders scored an impressive, lopsided victory over their old rival, lXloline. Although it was predicted that it would be a close battle, Coach Kimmel's boys copped first place in twelve out of sixteen events. The inal score was 97 to 47. No several of the Following April 30.

This, November 6, is the eve of the Sophomore party which formally opens the social season at Rock Island High. This, also, is the first of a series of such broadcasts from this station. As our youngest of the younger set have not begun to stream in, I will take this opportunity of announcing the forthcoming events. Iunior-Senior party-Saturday, November I-I Frolic4Friday, February 5 Sophomore Spring party-Friday, April S JunioreSenior ReceptionfFriday, lX4ay 20 Now for the partyl The decorations this evening are characteristic of the season. Autumn leaves and brightly- colored paper have transformed the ballroom from the inside to the outside. Ah, now the guests are arriving, and I do believe this is going to be a hard-times party. Yes, 'tis. The sophomores are keeping up with the times, both in decorations and costuming. Games and dancing, they tell me, will occupy the greater part of the evening. Now for a brief rest, while I sit back and enjoy the music. The sophomores surely are up-and-coming. They're all out on the floor dancing. That's the spirit I like to see. Refreshment time! Lvmml Pie and ice cream. The sophomores will grow up to be fine juniors and seniors, for they have started out with the proper attitude. All good things come to an end, they say, and I guess that is right, for it is ten-thirty and the party is drawing to a close. Good night, folks. I'll be with you again at this same time on Saturady, November 14. UN1oR-sEN1oR PARTY' Good evening, friends! XVTAS on the air, broadcasting the Junior-Senior party from the lvl. A. ballroom, which is decorated in Hags and red, white, and blue crepe paper, carrying out the Armistice Day colors. Ahl I hear music. Now let me seefyes, it is Louis NIath's orchestra, and they are good, too. I see Iirn not the only one who heard the coaxing strains, for the dancers are already beginning to fill the floor. Time for the entertainment, and here comes none other than Arthur Grams to act as master of ceremonies. Iill have to draw the mike a little closer so I can hear all. Yes, therefs one of Arthur's witty speeches again. And here are two pupils from the KIaureen Bennett studio. First we have a toe-tap dance by Patsy Heidmann, and next we will be entertained by petite Joan Van Hoorebeck in a tap selection. Klove your chairs a wee bit closer to the loud speaker, folks, and I think you will be able to listen to the taps. Hear them? Thatis fine! VVhat a partyl Rlore girls and boys arriving every time I glance at the doors. Next on our program, lafdees and gcntlemenl The Harmony girls, Joyce Lee Lower 34, and jean Hollander '34, singing a group of popular melodies. Like it? And now, last but not least, my friends, is a whistling solo by Richard Schwenker '31, accompanied by Helen Carlson ,32. This should come in fine over your radio. Now, wasn't that nice? Good work, Dickl Ohle-did that sudden burst of voices frighten you as it did me? VVhat,s the meanf, ah, I see, it is time for refreshments. liveryone goes in one door emptyhanded, and comes out another with a jumbo cone in hand. Iixcuse me, radio friends, but I believe I have a place in that line, too. Ummftastes like more! Well, Ifm afraid Illl have to leave you very soon as it is nearing eleven-thirty and the orchestra is playing its farewell melody. Good night, everyone. Station WTAS signing off at exactly eleven-thirty, until Friday, February S, when we shall bc with you again to share in a rollicking good time at the Frolic.

Page One Hundred Nine ,P ------- - -I ----- in of N O PLOW WILL WORK THEY SAID A LONG train of ox-drawn emigrant t wagons creaked pastg one of many such trains that passed every day. As far as the eye could see the pio- neer trail was marked by a cloud of into the Settlers were pouring old hunting grounds of Black Hawk's Sacs and Foxes-settlers from New England and the Middle Atlantic states, augmented by members of the second generation of pioneer farmers who had settled Ohio and Indiana. It was an amazingly beautiful and fertile countryg for miles and miles on either side of the trail the rolling prai- rie extended, a green, wavy sheet of land which tempted the travelers to end their long journey and make their home. But the emigrant wagons passed on -on toward the timber lands. From earlier pioneers the word had passed back to the eastern states: 'iBeware of the prairie land. In the timber lands building material, fuel and fencing are easy to getg in the prairie lands no plow will work after the first break- ing. No plow will workv-that was warn- ing enough for every pioneer seeking to establish a farm. One might well afford to haul logs for miles to a farm on the rich prairie, but how could one farm where a plow would not work? dust. So the wide reaches of timber along the large and small streams rang with the chick-chacki' of the axe and droned with the hum of the saw, as pioneers established their homes, while the primeval silence pervaded the prairies. What a change was to take place within a few short years! Already John Deere in his little frontier blacksmith shop had solved the problem of plow- ing the black prairie soil. From early in the morning until late at night he was busy at his anvil making the steel plows which he had invented. Soon his new industry was to expand into larger and larger John Deere factories, producing in great quantities plows that scoured. Then the once-spurned, rich prairie soil came into its own as the world's greatest producer of food for mankind. S4 P? i1 The prestige gained and held by John Deere plows up through the years of America's great agricultural devel- opment applies today to the complete line of John Deere farm equipment- prestige due to continued growth of the long-established belief among farm- ers that a John Deere gives much more than a dollar's worth of per- formance for every dollar spent in purchasing it.
