HANSON Principal of High School GEORGIA T. FIRST Assistant Priiiciyoal of High School THINGS AS THEY ARE HIS annual is a record of things as they are-things as they are at Rock Island High School. Here are pictures and pictures of ' the students. Here are the stories of what they did in one year of school. Here are the teachers who taught them their lessons. Here is a glowing account of the football games they Won, of the Big Nine contests in which they scored, of the successful plays they presented, of the honor rolls they made. Here are the attentive assemblies, the observance of regulations, the supporting school spirit. These are things as they areg but they are the pleasant things, they are the things we like to hear about. This annual also records, by the conspicuity of its absence, the fact that there are no gym classes and no athletic events for girls. The high school gymnasium is so small that basketball practice must be held at a junior high school. Our school assembly seats only half of the students comfortably at one time, necessitating two assemblies each Friday. Classes are crowded in a school of over 1,300, which was built to accommodate only 800. These statements are not meant to dis- credit the schoolg it is a fine school. But, nevertheless, this, too, is an evidence of things as they are. To Miss Sara McElhinney, art director, to Mildred Cook, Helen Fowler, Carl Noack, and Alice Lindstrom, art students, to Mr. Oscar G. Ericson of the Augustana Book Concern, and Mr. Luther Franzen of Jahn and Ollier Engraving Company, technical advisersg to Miss Cora L. Stoddard, adviser, for their generous services and valuable advice in making this annual a true picture of the school, the editors say, Thank you. -EDITOR. 1 MANUAL ARTS OLD MAIN JDKWQ QE i FAIULTT'SIfNIOI:iS'JUNIOlliS'SOFI w - , , W L GEORGE D.

WESTERLUND, A.B. English ENGLISH The English course gives opportunity in the iirst semester of each year for develop- ment in grammar, sentence structure, and diction. The second semester courses give emphasis to literature. A maintenance pro- gram of essentials is used also. Frequent short tests are given to master a few fun- damentals. The work of the two semesters balance and form a background for the fol- lowing courses. SOCIAL SCIENCE The social science department aims to give the student a knowledge of social conditions and good citizenship. European history is offered to all students. Only juniors and sen- iors are eligible for American history which is required for graduation. They may also choose commercial geogra- phy, civics, sociology, or advanced sociology which deal with political, business, indus- trial, and social problems. COMMERCIAL If a student correlates his subjects care- fully, he will be prepared at graduation for both college and business. Two years of shorthand and two of type- writing are offered to juniors and seniors. One semester of business arithmetic, and three of bookkeeping may be begun in the sophomore year. SCIENCE Chemistry, physics, biology, and domestic science compose this department. Elemen- tary inorganic chemistry and elementary physics are open to juniors and seniors. Biology or botany and Zoology is offered to any student. Two years of cooking and two of sewing are taught. These subjects are made attractive and practical by laboratory work in well-equipped laboratories. STUDY A library of approximately eight thousand books is maintained where students may borrow books and where they may study. Supervised study is carried on in three study halls. 5 M4 gmail Aw: 1 gi- -W: 543931 : gait! F if:-5352 MATHEMATICS The mathematics department offers plane geometry in the sophomore year, advanced algebra and solid geometry in the junior year, and trigonometry and college algebra in the senior year. Algebra centers about the study of the equation, formula and graphg geometry, the properties and rela- tions of geometrical figures and solidsg and trigonometry, indirect measurement by the solution of triangles. LANGUAGES Latin, French, German, and Spanish are offered to the students. The languages form a cultural background and may be used di- rectly. The courses in these languages teach the customs of the people also. Four years of Latin and three of both French and Ger- man are given. Only second-year Spanish is taught. FINE ARTS This group adds much to the beauty of school life in providing music, dramatic pro- ductions, and art work for the enjoyment of the students and community. Art, band, glee club, and speech are taught. OFFICE In the principa1's office, attendance is checked, program cards are kept, informa- tion is given out and occasionally steno- graphic students are given office practice. In the cafeteria, as another service to the students, hot lunches are served at cost every noon. MANUAL ARTS Printing, machine shop, mechanical draw- ing, and Woodwork comprise this group. Practical knowledge is gained in these voca- tional subjects. The printing of the entire school system is done in the printing classes. ,fr - Lorin Bleuer X Lucille Boot ' Albert Borell Marcella Borell Ida Mae Boronstein Betty Boxerman Joe Brahm Robert Bremner Arthur Bricker Grant Brissman Pauline Bromberg George Brown Jack Brown Ernest Brunswig Earle Busse Albert Cabooter John Canum Mark Canumwwl an Maitha Carlson Betty Carney LLRussell .Adams ' Lillian Ague Bernard Aims Ralph Anderson Frederick Armstrong Edith Arshack Ivy Atkinson Ethel Barenthin Leonard Barenthin Charles Barnes Marian Baumbach Eugene,JSeattie Eleanor Bendt Bobby Benham Wendell Benson Ralph Bergstrom Robert Betts James Blaker Carl Blecker Harry Blecker - -fy if-'KJ Dorothy Carr vfgvfw' Noma Carroll Virginia Carstens William Caulpetzer Ruth Cervin Mildred Cheek Robert Christensen Audrey Claydon Doris Clayton Virginia Cline Boyd Cloudas VVilma Connelly Maynard Cook Mary Catherine Cook Winifred Coon Lucille Couch Adelee Crabill Jack Crarnpton Lela Crane Gerald Crapnell Glenn Crawford Gene Danenfelser Virginia DeBord V Harold Dehl-er -ee- Francis DeReus r Dick Derrick Alberta Desch Sidney'Beutsch LeRoy Dierikx George Donlin Peggy DuMars Dorothy Duty Befatrice Eckhardt Robert Eckhart George Ekstein Melba Ekstrom Margaret Erb Birdie Erbstein awiiilkm Rosalyn Gerrdler Louis Gernanti Reola Gibbs Vivian Giblin Clarence Gilmore Kermit Gilmore Charlotte Glockhoff Raymond Gloe Harold Goldman Robert Gordon Evelyn Gorenstein Regina Gotthardt Evelyn Gulder Marian Hahn Arline Haigh Hazel Hamil n if Louis Handle Allen Hanna V Charles Hanso Ethel Harris Rosemary Erickson Albert Ewert Katherine Fasbender Jack 'Fensterbusch Harold Fink Florence Finkelbeig Mary Finley Warren Fisher Charlotte Fout 1ler Robert Franck Eileen Frederick Pauline Fredrickson Harold Freece W Raymond Fuller .Edgar Fullmer Garland Morris Geifman Geifman Rn, W Eugene Hatfield .

THE BI -WEEKLY The student paper, the Watch Tower Bi-Weekly, made its bow to the public of Rock Island High School on February 28, 1934. This was the first student paper published since 1926 and was the result of a long-felt de- sire of the students for more news about themselves written in the man- ner they like it. The paper was sold for two cents and was issued once every two weeks. The news was collected and written by members of the advanced journalism class, and the paper was printed in the print shop.

P resident MARTHA CARLSON ...Vice President ALICE LINDSTROM ................... Secretary A good record has been made by the Senate during the second year of its existence. It has had a busy but very successful program. An item of importance is that the Senate is now a member of the National Organiza- tion of Student Councils. The Lyceum course, which enabled the school to receive three interesting assembly programs at a low cost, was made pos- sible through the Senate. This club helped to make the Christmas project and the frolic successful. Monitors were stationed in the halls to assist visitors and new students, and to keep order in the halls during periods. Letters of condolence were sent to bereaved students and faculty members during the year. A Lettermen's Day was held during the football season for all individuals who had attended Rock Island High School and earned a letter. The Senate met bi-weekly under the sponsorship of the principal and faculty members. This year the Senate represented the entire school. The membership consisted of a representative from each club, each athletic team, a cheer leader, and a member from each of the special departments, such as the glee clubs, band, and Annual staff. Under the new plan, every first period class also chose a representative. The Senator in accepting this position takes upon himself a great deal of responsibility. He must place the interests of Rock Island High School first, support all scholastic and contest activities, obey all regulations of the school, assume all duties assigned to him by the officers and the spon- sors of the Senate, and execute them faithfully. Faculty sponsors were as follows: The Misses Georgia First, Alverda Doxey, Eva Robb, Hazel Parrish and the Messrs. J. R. Clark, P. J. Martin, J. M. Huckins, David Borth, and Earl Hanson. The membership follows: Starred members are those who have been Senators both semesters.

Keeper of Birch Bark and Wampum The new members of the Tribe were initiated in true pow-wow style at the Christmas party given at the Tavern Tearoom. Remember how the infants slushed about in their hunks of cream pie? The Tribe sponsored the Popularity contest at the Frolic, and in addition, presented that thrill- ing drammar, The Gangster's Sweetheart. The Misses Eva Irvine and Florence Liebbe, and Messrs. John Shantz, and P. J. Martin are working to promote a better Rock Island High School and to bring benefits to the individual members. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB OFFICERS ELINOR KRAMER .. ............. ........ P resident GENITEE EsKEW .... Vice President CHARLOTTE FOUT . . . ........ Secretary JEAN TOTTEN ............,.,.................. Treasurer With an enterprising program planned, the Home Economics Club members had a successful year. What a grand time they had at the Wiener roast and dance which were both held at Credit Island! The installation of new members and then the waffle supper which followed proved to the new members that this was truly a domestic club. A more successful banquet has not been given than the one which the Home Economics Club gave in honor of the football team fthe quad-city champslj. The boys received their letters and went away with a feeling of satisfaction that their hostesses had planned and prepared a most appetizing dinner. A Mother and Daughter Tea was held in the spring and the Club closed its year with a party and a spring picnic. Miss Irene Haan is the sponsor.

This is the club that contains the acting ability of the school! The play, Seven Keys to Baldpatej' the big project of the year, proved a grand success. The chills are still running up and down the spinal columns of those who attended the performance. New stage lighting, costing seven- ty-five dollars, was provided by the club from the play's profit. The club also contributed toward the Lyceum course. A glorious time was had at all the monthly meetings when members of the club or outside talent gave dif- ferent types of entertainment. It's here at last-the Dramatic Club Christ- mas party. And what a party! The fancy trimmings to the card party were candy, Dixie cups, and prizes. The members had a fascinating eve- ning at the theater party given in the spring, which closed the club's year. Entrance into this club is made possible by tryouts, which are judged by officers and sponsors.

The Annual Five- City Spring Conference, which was held at Rock Island, proved to be the club's outstanding feature of the year. It was a regular get-together of all the Hi-Y girls from Muscatine, Davenport, Moline, Clinton, and Lyons. No-that isn't anyone calling for help-that's just part of the grand opera, Il Advertisof' given by Girls' Hi-Yg it took first place at the Frolic. Did you see those darling dolls which were dressed by the girls, and the toys which they bought to give the Bethany Home Children at their Christmas party, held at the Y. W. C. A.? Don't say there isn't a Santa Claus! The forget-me-not sale for the disabled War veterans was also sponsored by the Girls' Hi-Y. The last features and most memorable were the senior farewell meeting and the ring ceremonial.

The Commercial Science Club has sponsored during the year many in- teresting projects, social as well as educational. That certainly was an un- forgetable trip which the members took through the Remington Rand Com- pany in Davenport, and wasn't that the best Christmas party they had in December? After the club quartet had sung carols, refreshments were served. Later, the club held a Boston bean supper in the cafeteria. How many of the members added avoirdupois? Miss Evelyn Thomas was the speaker and the members enjoyed her talk about her work with abnormal children. The educational phase of the club's activities has been the series of talks given at regular meetings by prominent business women. STENOGRAPHIC TEAM The stenographic team members have made a record of which they can be proud. The members not only captured first place in Big Nine, but also took all individual honors. Their rating was as follows: Betty Boxer- man, no errors, firstg Marion Hessell, with two errors, second, and Rosa- lyn Gendler, also with two errors, third. Virginia Hodson was alternate on the team. Miss Carrie Ekblad coached the team to its victory. Virginia Hodson, Marion Hessell, Rosalyn Gendler, Betty Boxerman.

Secretary After looking over the interesting meetings and programs, one can truthfully say that this club has had a worth while year. What a splendid time was had at the German Christmas party! Ruth Sittig, an honorary member, let the club have the party at her home. Singing German songs, dancing, eating, and especially exchanging the ten-cent gifts featured the occasion. The Family Album at the Frolic also turned out to be a big success. Didn't the kids look odd, and yet fascinating, dressed to appear like one big happy family? A picnic closed the year with a loud bang. The German teacher, Miss Emilie Mertz, is club sponsor. DEUTSCHER VEREIN Wiss, Seltzer, Weinstein, Trommer, E. Schuermer, Martin, Meineke, Bendt.

They went through an undefeated season of contests with Moline, East Moline, and Geneseo. Ruth Evelyn Harris, champion declaimer, took second place in Big Nine. There was also a local evening contest which served as fourth tryouts. Miss Dorothy Peterson is the coach. Members of the team and their selections are: MARTHA CARLSON. . . . .

Tom o' the Glearmn DEBATE Contrary to the best rules of etiquette, the Rock Island High School debate team has made a name for itself by doing some of the best arguing in this part of the country. The debaters not only Won the undisputed title of Big Nine Conference Champions, but also took all the honors at the Augustana College Arts Conference. The subject this year was an especial- ly interesting one: The United States should Adopt the Essential Fea- tures of the British Radio System, and the students discussed everything from Ed Wynnis horse laugh to Rooseveltis policies.

ORATORY They had a crowded season, but members of Rock Island High School's oratory team nevertheless came through with four victories and one defeat. The contests were With Moline, East Moline, and Davenport. Eugene Beattie, that young Demosthenes, broke the all-time Big Nine record when he scored 11 points in the meet at Princeton.

Even Huey Kingfish Long's filibustering efforts would be put to shame before members of the 1934 extemporaneous speaking team. Galesburg was the first team to suffer defeat at the hands, or rather, tongues of Rock Island speakers. In order, these silver tongued speakers conquered Moline, East Moline, and Muscatine teams, and a climactic finish came with the Winning of the Big Nine championship at Monmouth by Eugene Beattie.

For six years the coveted honor was in foreign hands. The close of this season, however, found the Crimson in proud possession of the trophy. Ten games resulted in six victories, three defeats, and one tie. Coach Kenneth E. Greene and his assistants, Julien Peterson and Samuel Etzel, developed a fine team, every player performing in excellent fashion. During the cam- paign, however, several players proved most outstanding: Captain Means, end, Karr, guard, Donnelly, tackle, Mc- Donald, Hofer, and Seline, all backs. The team possessed no real individual stars, but rather functioned perfectly as T a unit, with courage and determination to win, playing the leading part in the success of the season. The team opened the season September 23 of last year by trouncing Savanna, 26 to 0. Next followed a hard-fought battle with Grant High which the Cedar Rapids team won by a lone point. The next week Rock Island won the City Championship by overwhelming St. Joseph High School, 31 to 0. Playing at Kewanee the Crimson lost a close game, 7 to 0, s ik , .

Galesburg was en- countered next and again the Islanders outplayed the Big Nine champions but had to be content with a 7 to 7 tie. At this point the Crimson powerhouse swung into action. Monmouth was smothered under a barrage of touchdowns, 46 to 0. Before a large crowd at Davenport, Rock Island defeated the Red and Blue, our tradi- tional rivals, 13 to 0. Quincy fell before the Crimson the following week, then a strong East Moline team temporarily halted Rock Island's march toward the quad-city crown by winning a clean-cut victory. But the team came back on Thanksgiving Day, before 7,200 people at our own stadium, to beat a determined, but outclassed, Moline eleven and ended the season in a blaze of glory, with the distinction of being 1933 Quad-City Cham- pions. Here are some statistics from the four quad-city games including the St. Joseph game, proving the true worth of the Rock Island High School team. R. I. Opponents R. I.

BASKETBALL Coach Greene's charges opened their season on December 15, at Ster- ling, but due to shortness of training, the Crimson were defeated. After another loss, Rock Island won its first victory, trouncing Savanna, 33 to 22- Then the Crimson quintet dropped a hectic game to St. Joseph High School. Two other losses followed, including a one-point overtime period defeat by Davenport, before a victory was again chalked up at the expense of Princeton. Rock Island then tasted defeat at the hands of both East Moline and Moline. The second school semester brought better luck to Coach Greene's men, and three out of seven were annexed. Monmouth and Geneseo fell before the Crimson, 27 to 20 and 30 to 9, respectively. The Crimson avenged an earlier defeat by beating Orion, 29 to 23, on their own court. Kewanee defeated Rock Island in a close game. The quad-city jinx still clung to the Crimson, and they dropped all three quad-city encounters. Soon the district tournament started, with Rock Island as host and defending champion. The Crimson won easily over Viola and Andover and were pitted against East Moline in the semi-finals. After a close battle, Rock Island was eliminated by a score of 35 to 27. The season's record of the Crimson quintet showed 7 victories and 13 losses. It is significant, however, that 6 of the defeats were by 6 points or less and these games could have gone either way. One thing can be said of this year's team-that regardless of the outcome of the games, the players put forth their best efforts. Mel Seline was the team's leading scorer, while Harold Fink, Bill Kramer, forwards, and Ken Johnson, Norman MacDonald, guards, played consistent ball all season.

TRACK Encountering cold Weather during the first Week of practice, Coach Kimmel was able to send his charges through only light Work-outs. How- ever, the next Week found Weather conditions favorable and the squad be- gan training strenuously for the first dual meet with Dubuque, Saturday, April 7. Rock Island easily Won this meet by a margin of 74 4-5 to 44 1-5. The Crimson trackmen captured 11 first places out of a possible 15, and also took 7 second places. Captain Jack Brown and Joe Brahm tied for high point honors with 8 points each. The next contest Was a dual meet with Davenport at the stadium, Saturday, April 14. The Crimson track team lost this meet by a count of 80 to 55, but Rock Island nevertheless Won 7 first places in the 15 events. Davenport was especially strong in the field events, winning 4 of the 6 events, While the crimson trackmen were superior in the races taking 5 of the 9 running contests. Kenny Johnson scored 10 points to lead the Crimson in that department. The next Satur- day the Rock Island trackmen took Muscatine into camp by a margin of 78 to 57. Harold Fink smashed the stadium 120-yard high hurdle record of 16.5 seconds by breasting the tape in 16.4 seconds. Captain Brown and Joe Brahm Won individual high point honors in this meet, each scoring 10 points. DeReus and Maihack each garnered SM points and Fink con- tributed 8 points to the Crimson to- . tal. The next Thursday the Islanders Won a convincing victory over their traditional rival, Moline. Although i the Crimson were conceded but a Q slight edge, the Rock Island track- men copped 10 first places out of 15 H A -sf- events, and Won by the count of 76144 to 5424. 1 E Here is the remaining schedule: April 27 and 28-: Drake Relays.

THE CAST , - DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY Murder, ghosts, crime, mystery, politics, a novelist, a girl reporter, and romance distinguish Seven Keys to Baldpatef' Dramatic club play production. William Magee, author of wild, thrilling, love-mystery tales, comes to lonely Baldpate Inn on a bet. Known as a cheap melodramatic ranter he makes a wager with his friend, the owner of Baldpate, that within 24 hours, in the loneliest spot on earth, he can write a great literary novel. The inn fills all requirements, and at midnight in the dead of winter, Magee begins his work. The only key is given by him by the caretaker and his wife who leave the author to his own resources. The only key! But there the story starts, for no less than a gangster with stolen bonds, a one-armed hermit, a lovely girl reporter, a sophisti- cated lady bandit, a railroad president, and a crooked city mayor possess keys and use them, disturbing the aspiring writer, and causing the same excitement to be developed in Magee's melodrama. And therein lies the plot, a theme involving many complications. Just when the audience reached the edge of their seats, when hair began to stand on end, and hearts to beat with uncontrollable rapidity- the fact was announced from the stage that it was a play within a play, or a plot within a dream.-Oh, dear! It's still got us going. Nevertheless, to the Dramatic club goes the County Fair's blue ribbon for the Nsleekest of productions. Elijah ............................

It was a grand combina- tion of comedy, excitement, drama, and-romance! There was the eternal triangle and-girls, gather close,-the heroine wore at least half a dozen costumes. But after all, the play's the thing so let's get down to business. In the Hardy living room in a small Idaho town, Judge Hardy is wag- ing a losing campaign for district judge nomination, and is bitterly re- flecting the many years of honest service he has given the people who are now turning against him. Andy is also in a bitter mood because he must take a bath, and go to a party escorting a girl. The outlook is bleak, when Marion arrives home from college, enthusiastic and vivacious about the completion of a political science course. Wayne Trenton III, her handsome and rich nance, has also come to be introduced to the family. Marion learns of the defeat facing her father, and immediately rushes to the city hall, where the people are holding a meeting, and delivers a fiery speech. The next morning her speech appears verbatim along with favorable reports in the morning newspaper. Marion secures her father's Consent to her approaching marriage with Wayne Trenton, and life is rosy for the Hardys. But wait-that isn't the end, for all of a sudden, Marion's mar- ried sisters, Estelle and Myra, come in unannounced. They have left their husbands, and bewail the fate of wives. Marion begins to wonder, de- cides to postpone her wedding and run for state legislator. Mrs. Hardy, thoroughly disgusted with her family, packs and leaves. Then comes the election. Judge Hardy loses district nomination but by some quirk of fate secures nomination to Supreme Court. Marion wins her nomination. The sisters go back to their husbands-and oh, yes! Marion gets Wayne and a bungalow lot. THE CAST Annt Milly .... ................ R UTH ROBINSON Ancly ....... ...........

B OB MALONEY OPERETTA When a young man's fancy turns to- operettas, you can be sure it's spring, especially when the operetta in question is Up in the Air. Now, there have been operettas and operettas, but this operetta really had us 'tUp in the air -it was so different. Everything about it was extra- ordinary. For there wasn't one hero, one heroine, one love story, or one comedian. No, indeed! There were two of each. You see, it all started in Beverly Hills, California, at the palatial resi- dence of Henry McCullom, movie producer, and--in a garden. So far, so good. But-there is a but! Joe Bennett is an expert aviator out of a job, and to make matters worse, madly in love with Shirley Kingston, whom he cannot marry due to lack of funds. Mr. McCullom promises Joe a job as a double in pictures, should the need arise, and although that does not put money in Joe's pocket, it puts sunshine in his heart. Then there's Harold. Poor Harold! He is madly in love with Betty Burbank, whose father will have none of him, because he admires bravado, and Harold is only a poor working boy. It all looks very dark for Harold, but his friend, Jim Carter, promises to help him out. And he does-oh, yes, he does! Mr. McCullom decides to have Joe prove his talents as an aviator and entertain lVIcCullom's guests by doing some fancy flying. In addition, he promises 35,000 to the man who will make a parachute jump. Jim tells Harold he has a plan whereby all he need do is promise to make the parachute jump, and Jim will somehow save him from carrying it through. But the plan falls flat! That is, the plan which will save Har- old from having to make the jump, and he is forced to carry it through. ln the midst of Joe's tricks, Harold becomes deathly afraid and falls out of the plane. By a miracle his parachute opens, and he is acclaimed as the master hero of the age. The ending? Oh, yes. Joe gets a job with McCullom at an immense salary, Harold wins the hand of the beautiful Betty, and everyone joins in singing Love All. Such was the trend of the story, good, in itself, but made doubly in- teresting by lovely music and catchy songs. SENICR CLASS PLAY lt's first night of the senior class play, The Crisis, and all the celebrities are turning up-a thrill for everyone. There's music, an added attraction, Clifford Julstromis violin, and all the excitement Hollywood or Broadway ever experience. Action opens in Judge Whipple's Office among all his old books and papers. Do you hear voices? They're coming from the street where slaves are being auctioned for salel Virginia Carvel has her eye on that pretty quadroon girL-Qbut Stephen Ehice Hsinterfering. Iles a staunch young Yankee, and he's certainly started off on the wrong foot with Virginia. .And Hnnk oflns buyngga daveihpnithe abohdonhi Judges vdndovd Oh, how beautiful! It's the second act. A lovely birthday party is being hehlin.XHrginias honor,and aH the Southern beHes and beaux are dancing in the garden. Music, costuming, and flowers make this one of the most memorable scenes ever portrayed here. VVhyl VVhats the rnatter? fXH of a suddern everyormis perturbed- and no wonder! Richter brings the news that Abraham Lincoln, a Black ltepuldican, has been elected president of the llnited States! Then-war is declared. The Colonel and Clarence Colfax join the Con- federate forces, but Stephen tells Virginia that he is going to fight for the llorth-against her people! Pathos and beauty bring the fourth, and final, act up to the audience's highest expectation. Old Judge Whipple is ill. The South suffers defeat. There is a bright spot, however, as the difficulties of the two lovers are smoothed out right in Judge Whipple's office where it all began. A play that will be remembered.

MIRIAM WESSEL ALICE LINDSTROM CARL TROMMER THE FROLIC Were you ever at a three-ring circus, trying to keep your eyes glued on all three rings, drink pink lemonade, eat peanuts, and watch the clown, all at the same time? If so, you can truly appreciate the situation exist- ing at the Frolic this year. The corridors had all the essentials of a real circus, with barkers try- ing to outdo each other in noise and velocity. It really didn't take any time, though, to catch on to what they were saying, and to attempt to make up your mind whether to enter the stately portals of the Latin Club and listen to the strains of tin-pan orchestra, or to have youn face lifted and fortune told in the Commercial Club beauty parlor. But the real difficulty came in choosing the drama of the evening, for tragedy, mystery, comedy, all were portrayed by no less than the Dramatic Club with the Doofunny family, the Blackhawk Tribe with something about a Sugar Daddyg the Science Club with domestic problems, the German Club with the family album, and the Boys' Hi-Y with an all-star cast. And, of course, the Alpha Club had the usual fish-pond. The Girls' Hi-Y presented an astoundingly elegant and impressive operetta called Il Advertise, which incidentally captured the gold cup for the best show of the evening. But the climax of the evening came when Principal Hanson stepped from the Senate dance, swinging the cane which he won at the General Activity's booth, and announced the winners of the popularity contest: Alice fLindyJ Lindstrom and Carl CWhitieJ Trommer. Yes, it left us as all good frolics: with hoarse voices, with stiff necks, and with tired eyes. SOPHOMORE PARTY Wa'al, I had a hard day in the fields, Mirandy, but I finally got all that thar corn heaped up in the barn. Say, Mirandy, whar's that moosic a' comin' from? Let's go take a look. Wa'al, I swan! It's Ted Knox and his Hi-Hatters, and they got a bunch of them thar sofymores in tow. Looks like they're headed for my barn. Yes, siree! That's where they're a' goin'. And look, Mirandy! They got on their overalls and gingham purties. Wa'al, I sWan'. Seein's as how it's my barn, I don't know but what I'll have a dance or two myself. The lady steps forward and the gent steps- COW, my roomatiz'J. That's right nice, now, Mirandy, but I vow it's treacherasl Those sofy- mores are striking it up lively. Wa'al, I swan! They're a' going' to hev some amoosement, too! Mar- tie Lockwood and Jeanette Welcher jest finished one of them new-fangled city dances, and now Charlotte Ewing is playin' the pyano akorjon. Ain't that nice? Grashus sakes, they're dancin' agin! A 6'Whoa, Dobbin! It's a earthquake like they hev in Californy. Wa'al I swan, it's only eatin' time! CMy, them sofyrnores eat most as hard as they dance.D The or-kes-tra's playin' agin, Mirandy. It's Home, Sweet Home! Lands, I might jest as well not go to bed. It's almost time to get up. I swan! JuNloR-sENnoR PARTIES FALL PARTY 'KI wanna lollypop! Gimme my doll! Tall Lord Fauntleroy lads and much beruffled lassies, pink elephants, crude caricatures of Teacher on the walls, cards, C'Oh, no, you don't! Where'd you get the fifth ace ? D bunco, dancing, Maxine Hunker, Dick Schwenker, crooner, a real meler- drama, And the Villain Pursued Her, featuring the father, the mort- gage, the daughter, hero, and villain, and then pie and ice cream! Revolutionary? Confusing? No, indeed! Just the November kids' party of the junior-senior classes. It was held on Saturday night, No- vember 25, and the Manual Arts ballroom was transformed into a veritable kindergarten, decorated with colored lights and cut-outs. Yes, a good time was had by all. I nearly forgot! The kiddies stayed up 'till 10 :30! Yes, siree! SPRING PARTY Midst an aura of color and modernistic design, the juniors acted as hosts to the senior class of 1934 on May 18. The M. A. ballroom was dec- orated with the latest in modern art, in the brilliant senior shades of black, silver, and red. There was even a rock garden featuring the senior flow- ers, peonies. Never before in the history of j unior-senior proms have there been so many junior hosts or senior guests, for the novel reception attracted many. Dancing! Dancing! Everybody was dancing-why, there was even a broom dance and everyone joined in. And there was an adagio dance, fyou know, the kind where everyone throws everyone else around! presented in the auditorium. Coming back to the ballroom, Florence Appelquist, '28, and Earl McGinnis taught the latest dance steps to the juniors and sen- iors, and then they kept on dancing way until 11 :30 p.m., when Ted KnoX's orchestra played the old refrain, Home, Sweet Home. Yes, it was the longest and grandest party ever held at R. I. H. S. lfmmmf CALENDAR'HUIWGI7'AID5'SNAI35HC INDEX TC ADVERTISERS Argus, The Ames, Dr. E. P.

Old fossil. He's crazy! A mere flippant guess. We're youthful at fifty? Yes, gay if we please. Where life is, there youth is, and age does not tease. We've a habit that may seem a tiny mite queer, The way we address our famed friends over here. Now, this man-we call him just Gene-but he's president Of the Crooner's Aid-dignity is evident. And here, the great doctor from John Hopkins U, We call him just Syd-and an orator too. And there, the romancer of Hollywood fame. To us, Comic Whitie,-for what's in a name? And over there, the famous brain trust mob, Led by Lorin, Harry, Herbie, and Bob. And all the senators, pompous and wise, Are greeted by us with the commonest Hi's' . !

You say we are youths-we claim we are men, Ever playing with words and jesting with pen. And yet, while we're toying with future and past, Our hearts sort of choke us, for this is the last.

She there- fore dispatched this note: Mrs. Smythe requests the pleasure of Captain White's company at a reception on Friday evening. A prompt reply came which read: With the exception of three men who are sick, Captain White'S company accept your kind invitation and will come with pleasure to your reception Friday evening. Your Presents Requested Recently, says a Richmond man, I received an invitation to the marriage of a young colored couple formerly in my employ. I am quite sure that all persons similarly favored were left in little doubt as to the attitude of the couple. The invitation ran as follows: You are invited to the marriage of Mr. Henry Clay Barker and Miss Josephine Mortimer Dixon at the house of the bride's mother. All who cannot come may send.

Back of him, in temporary quarters at a frontier settlement, was his familyg ahead of him lay his oppor- tunity to get a home. No soldier under Caesar, no dough- boyf' under Pershing, ever marched with a heavier burden. A long rifle, an axe, an auger, a window sash with panes in place and a huge knapsack, made of heavy bed-ticking and crammed with clothing and provisions-those were among the accoutrements of the land-looker as he pressed on into the wilderness. He sought good plow land. Finding it, he located his quarter-section, built his pre-emption shanty, and lived in it the three days necessary to hold his claim for a year. Then, back more than a hundred miles to the frontier village and his family. Soon his emigrant wagon was on the westward trail-an ox-drawn wagon, making six miles a day. Boys trudged behind the wagon, driving milch cows and pigs. Mother sat in the front seat lulling the baby to sleep. Father strode, with long whip in hand, and long rifle in con- venient grasp, beside the oxen. Stored back in the wagon, were the household goods-home-made fur- niture, home-made bedding, home- made clothing, spinning wheels, loom and crockery. In a coop, at the rear, were a half-dozen chickens. And swung up tightly to one side of the wagon was that symbol of civilization, chief reliance of the pioneer farmer-a John Deere plow. Days and days of slow travel, and then- -a new home-light beamed the message of achievement across the prairie at dusk, another family was established, ready with the John Deere plow to win a prosperous farm from the wilderness. Thus, long ago, in the hearts of pio- neers to whom a good plow meant everything, the seeds of good will for John Deere were planted-good will that extends today to John Deere equipment for practically every farming operation.

He had his eyes on a certain pair of light trousers which were not wearing out fast enough to suit him, so he thought he would hasten matters somewhat by rubbing grease on one knee. When the colonel saw the spot, he called George and asked if he had noticed it. George said, Yes, sah, Colonel, I noticed dat spot and tried mighty hard to get it out, but I couldn't. Have you tried gasoline ? the colonel asked. Yes, sah, Colonel, but it didn't do no good. Have you tried brown paper and a hot iron ? Yes, sah, Colonel, I'se done tried mos' everything I knows of, but dat spot wouldn't come out. Well, George, have you tried ammonia ? the colonel asked as a last resort. No, sah, Colonel, I ain't tried 'em on yet, but I knows dey'll fit. bk :lf Dk A negro went into a hardware shop and asked to be shown some razors, and after critically examining those submitted to him the would- be purchaser was asked why he did not try a safety, to which he replied: I ain' lookin' for that kind.
