ROCK ISLAND, ILLINCDIS OLD MAIN X X MANUAL ARTS FRANK W. DUNLAP DEDICATIQN O FRANK W. DUNLAP, who by his Willingness to help others, his Whole-hearted interest in our school and its activi- ties, his patience, thoroughness, and faithfulness in his Work, and his good sportsmanship and kindness at all times, has become not only a teacher but a friend and Wise counselor, We, the staff, dedicate this l935 Watch Tower Annual. GOOD TEACHER wields a great influence in the molding of the lives of the young people who come into close contact with him. He not only acquaints his pupils with information concerning his subject, he also has a very definite and positive part in the building of their character. All of us at the Rock Island High School feel that lVIr. Frank Dunlap has been a good teacher. His subject, physics, has been well taughtg and his boys and girls have become better men and women through having studied under him. A city populated by those who have served as students under his control would be large. We feel that the citizens of this city would be law obedient and respectful of one another's rights. We should enjoy living in the city populated by lNIr. Dunlapls former students. EARL H. HANSON, Principal. HE retirement of llIr. Dunlap from the teaching staff of our high school gives occasion for all his friends to think upon the kindly and beneficent influence he has exerted. INTL Dunlap is a productive teacher-he has produced so much goodness and usefulness and honesty in the minds of hundreds of Rock Island boys and girls. As he looks back upon his years of service, he should be proud and happy in the knowledge that he has been enshrined in the hearts of students and teachers as a gentle counselor and beloved friend. FLORENCE J. LIEBIZE Faculty HEN lXI1'. Dunlap is retired, Rock Island High School will feel the great loss of a respected and most beloved teacher. His sunny, friendly disposition, his understanding of his pupils, his patience with them, and his generosity are unquestionable. Of all the subjects in the whole curriculum of our school, his course has been made one of the most attractive because of his unfailing humor. ELIZABETH ANN MONTGOMERY, '35 EXT year Rock Island High School students will profoundly miss Mr. Dunlap's friendly presence, because they all have that warm, amiable feeling for him, they know and like his simple, easy, yet effective teaching methodsg they enjoy his diverting stories, and they realize that he feels the same cordial friend- liness for every one of them that they feel for him. No matter how much you will miss your old school, Mr. Dunlap, it will miss you many times more! . CLAIR SCHERSTEN, '35 SELTVIER H. BERG Szzperizzlezirlezzt of Schools W 1 EARL H. HANSON GEORGIA T.

The happiest moments of our lives are spent with those we are proud to call friends. This year Friendship fwas chosen as the theme for this 1035 Watch Tofwer dnnual. We have tried to make this book a true picture of you and your friends as you have studied side hy side in classes, as you shared the efforts fwhich have made a success of our school's activities, as you let school spirit develop your personalitiesj for these are the things in life that really matter. The theme, through the art 'work on the insert pages hy our student artists, stresses four sources of friendship J people, hooks, ani- mals, and nature. Wye extend our .sincere gratitude and appreciation to Bliss Sara lWcElhinney, art directory to dlice Patterson, Lillian Krass, Helen Nelson, art students,' to John Phillips fwho photographed the operetta and several other events,' to llfr. Oscar G. Ericson of the ffugustana Boolz Concern, and Mr. Lynn H. Efwing of the Photo Arts Engraving Co., technical advisorsj to Bliss Cora L.

Q , if sf 'SSWS A 'iafltrzk ' u ll ' IIII ll llll m QI ENGLISH. The English course provides, during the Hrst semester of each year, for a study of the skills necessary in oral and written expression. The second semester courses give emphasis to literature and the maintenance of English essentials. In all courses, students are encouraged to read freely. Each year a magazine is published containing the best written work done in English classes. Four years of English are required, but one year of journalism, which gives training in composition and practical newspaper work, may be substituted. LANGUAGES. Latin, French, German, and Spanish are offered to the students. The languages form a cultural background and may be used directly. The courses in these languages broaden the minds of the students and also teach them the customs of other nations. Four years of Latin and three of both French and German are given. Only second year Spanish is taught. SOCIAL SCIENCE. The social science department aims to give the student a knowl- edge of social conditions and good citizenship. European history is offered to all stu- dents. Only juniors and seniors are eligible for American history, which is required for graduation. They may also choose commercial geography, civics, sociology, or advanced soci- ology which deal with political, business, industrial, and social problems. A course in freshman social science is also offered. SCIENCE. Chemistry, physics, biology, and home economics compose this depart- ment. Elementary inorganic chemistry and elementary physics are open to juniors and seniors. Biology 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. MATHEMATICS. The mathematics department offers plane geometry in the sopho- more 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 relations of geometrical figures and solids, and trigonometry, indirect measurement by the solution of triangles. COMMERCIAL. If a student correlates his subjects carefully, he will be prepared at graduation for both college and business. Two years of shorthand and two of typewriting are offered to juniors and seniors. One semester of business arithmetic, and three of accounting may be begun in the sophomore year. FINE ARTS. This group adds much to the beauty, culture, and entertainment of school life in providing music, dramatic productions, and art work for the appreciation and aesthetic enjoyment of the students and community. Art, band, glee club, music theory, and speech are taught. MANUAL ARTS. Machine shop, mechanical drawing, woodwork, and printing comprise this group. These classes provide a means for developing technical skill and aids in the discovery of special interests and aptitudes. These are practical subjects which develop the appreciation of industry and the invaluable habit of work. The printing of the entire school system is done in the printing classes. STUDY. In addition to the regular divisions of the school there are several depart- ments which aid in the success of the school's curriculum. 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 at all periods of the day. To minmize 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. 9 GEORGE D. BAIRD, B.S.

A TYPICAL DAY AT SCI-IOOI. Your arrival in the morning, attending classes, eating lunch, buying your Bi- VVeek1y, enjoying a club meeting, leaving for home in the afternoon only to return in the evening to the Class play. 33 Make new friends but keep the old, Those are silver, these are gold. New-nzade friendships, like new wine, dge will mellow and rehne, Friendships that have stood the test- Time and change-are surely bestj Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship nefoer knows decay.

From 1926 to 1931 school news was published weekly in the drgus. From 1931 until 1934, news was written daily for the Argus. The long-felt desire of the student body culminated in the publication of the Watch Tower Bi-WeekIy'. To begin with the paper was a small one-sheet affair.

P resident RUTH ROBINSON .... .Jfire President ALICE LINDSTROM .... .................. S ecretary This year the Senate rejoined the National Organization of Student Councils. The lyceum course sponsored by the Senate was carried out with bigger and better success. The Senate supported all school activities and added a helping hand to the Christmas projects. Meetings were held biweekly, under the sponsorship of the principal and faculty members. The entire school is represented. Membership consisted of a representative from each club, each athletic team, a cheer leader, and a member from each special department such as glee club, band, and Watch Tower, and from each first period class. The Senate has encouraged courtesy, kindliness, and a more democratic spirit, and in doing so, the general feeling and morale of the school has improved. The memberships follow: Starred members are those who have been Senators both semesters.

The annual concert, another of the clubs' projects, is to be highly commended for its choice of music and the artistic manner of its rendition. The difficult eight-part a cappella music presented by the organizations was particularly appreciated. The glee clubs are composed of forty-five girls' and thirty boys' voices. The Madrigal Club, Orpheus Club, and Male Quartet, representative groups of the clubs, helped to complete the thirty appearances at church and community affairs made during the year. The club has as its aim: character training, development of good voice work and rapid reading of music, development of appreciation of good music, and service to the community. lldr.

Treasurer For two straight years, the club has taken the frolic cup by presenting hit plays. This yearis mad melodrama, Persecuted Maiden, took the cake. ln the fall the girls sold forget-me-nots for disabled war veterans, and at Christmas time they dressed dolls and gave a party for the Bethany Home children. Besides doing all this for other people, they found time to chat over their tea cups. Also in the fall they had a wiener roast at Camp Archie Allen. The theme of the club this year was The Flower Gardenf' each meeting being symbolized by some flower. The last activity and dearest to the hearts of the girls was the senior farewell supper and ring ceremonial.

Bernard and Eunice Ingals are seen as the self-sacrificing parents who try vainly to maintain the family reputation and send their children, Lois and Bradley, to college, an expense far beyond their means. Crooked politics seep into the city hall where Bernard is employed, and his posi- tion is threatened by Elliott Kimberly, political boss, Who wants all municipal offices held by his friends. Filled with resentment, Bernard pens a letter of resignation and gives it to Brad, Who is home from college for the Christmas season, to mail. Granny, who is constantly lamenting the extravagance of the lngals, triumphantly seizes the opportunity to inform the children of their fatherls plight. But Lois and Brad prove themselves true blue by offering to give up school and go to work. Hugh, the eldest son, decides to give up his plans of marriage to Dagmar Carroll and contribute to the family support. When the situation is the darkest for Bernard, Granny secretly makes plans with his friend, Noel Derby, to go into partnership with him and purchase a horticulture business. She will hire Bernard to look after her interest. Loyalty to the family has its reward, and the children do not have to sacrifice their careers, but as a matter of preference, Lois and Brad decide to work. Through trouble and pain, good luck and happiness, Eunice and Bernard have stuck by their family. Ruth Robinson and John Erickson capably play the roles of the sympathetic parents. The leading character part, Granny, is played by Betty VVeir. 'ATHE GOOSE HANGS HIGH7' Bernard Ingalx .... .... I ohn Erickson lllrs. Bradley ..... ..... E lizabeth Weir Eunire Ingals .... ..,.

Doctor Haggett, portrayed by Forrest Hainline, has always been a practitioner of moderate means and has lived comfortably some miles from Boston, even though his wife, Hannah, is constantly harping upon their common living conditions, and his daughters, Ada and Susie, are casting envious eyes at their more fortunate neighbors. Abby, their simple rustic servant, who plans to leave shortly to live in Chicago, is the physician's only consolation. Jeanne Baird's simplicity of manner is successful in this role. Then, with Abby's proposed departure, Haggett receives a visit from a dishonest New Yorker, Tallant, who wants some pictures painted by Chris Bean, an obscure artist who died some years before at the home of the Haggetts, and who left his paintings as payment for his board. Before Haggett has time to think, another man, Rosen, calls with the same propo- sition, he is followed by an art critic, Davenport, also wishing to see the paintings. VVhen Haggett finds out that the real reason why Tallart and Rosen are so eager to get the pictures is not for sentimental reasons but because they are valuable, he enters into a plan with them to get the portrait of Abby, which Chris painted expressly for her. The rest of the pictures have been carelessly mislaid. Davenport, however, informs Abby of their plans and tells her of the value of her picture. So Doctor Haggett is back to where he began, Abby has her portrait, and Susie marries VVarren Creamer. THE LATE CHRISTOPHER BEAN Abby ............. ...... I eanne Baird Szuan ......... .....

Bruce Holmgrain SENIOR CLASS PLAY 'fThe Fool is an intensely dramatic play which plunges deeply into the depths of human emotions. It is the portrayal of the courage of one man, a young minister, who accepts the challenge, What would happen today to a man who lived like Christ ?,' The Rev. Daniel Gilchrist, admirably portrayed by John Erickson, is seen as the young minister who upholds the rights of the masses and strives to better their existence. Because he delivered a sermon in favor of striking miners, a direct defiance against the Park Avenue wealthy of his parish, Gilchrist is discharged from the ministry. After his dismissal he enters the employ of the tyrannical mine owner, George Goodkind, and his son -Terry, who hope that by his gently persuasive ways Gilchrist will quiet their troubled labor conditions. But Gilchrist maintains his lofty ideals and befriends the miners. He is discharged. Believing that the essence of living is clean living, clear thinking, self-forgetfulness, and self-respect, he establishes a station in the slum district to assist the unfortunates and derelicts of humanity. Firmly believing in his principle, Gilchrist has sacrificed wealth, position, and even the love of his former fiancee, Claire Jewett, who, because Gilchrist would not give up his cause, is now unhappily wedded to Jerry Goodkind. hflalicious gossip and false rumors as to the nature of the establishment terminate by an infuriated mob led by Joe Hennig invading Gilchrist's sanctum. The mob, flooring Gilchrist, suddenly abate as llary lfargaret, a crippled derelict whom Gil- christ has befriended, rises and miraculously recovers the use of her limbs. Awed at this display of divine power, the mob silently retreats. The station now firmly rooted, Gilchrist goes on with lhlary hflargaret by his side. Such a man might lose the World, but he will eventually find happiness. 'ATHE FOOL A ,Door man ..... lVIr5. Tlzornbury ...,. Dilly Gilliam ..... Dr. Barinally ...... Mr's. Tzrn ............

The charming Miss Cherryblossom, Winsome adopted daughter of a ludicrous Japanese innkeeper, Kokemo, captivates the heart of a dashing young American, Jack Smith, who is visiting Japan with a group of his countrymen. Nothing doing, says Kokemo. Cherry must marry the arrogant politician, Togo, so Kokemo will receive a nice dowry. llieanwhile, in the American group, VVorthington, a business man, and his secre- tary, James, are seriously debating whether they should inform Cherry of her American birth and inheritance. XVorthington's niece, jessica, and Jack's pal, Harry, are Ending each other's company desirable. Togo's political campaign fails, and he must give up Cherry. Kokemo is aghast. His debts are large, and he was depending upon the dowry to clear them. Then Wortliington steps forth and informs Cherry of her legacy. Kolcemo is overjoyed. Of course she may marry Jack, as long as Kokemo will be able to clear his debts. Then the grand Hnale with the petite Geisha choruses and American choruses, closing in a burst of song.

For the hrst time in the history of our school, that honor was captured for Rock Island by the 1934. edition of Crimson and Gold warriors. In the course of the season, Rock Island won seven and lost three games out of a tough ten-game schedule. The first appearance of the Rock Island squad on September 21 at the Public Schools Stadium was Kenneth Greene marked by a I3 to 6 triumph over Sterling. The Sam Etzel following week, at Grant High of Cedar Rapids, Rock Island lost its first game of the season, 6 to O. The next week the Crimson proved too much for St. Josephs and won 26 to 6. Then, before a record crowd of over 8,000 people, Rock Island lost a thrilling battle to the Kewanee Hboilermalcersfl IO to O. After these two early season defeats, the powerful Crimson and Gold attack really began to function, as was proven by a I5 to 7 win over Galesburg, followed by an overwhelming 33 to 6 victory over Monmoiuth. Rock Island then lost a heartbreaker to Davenport. After outplaying their Iowa rivals all the way, the Red and Blue threw a pass in the last quarter that resulted in a 7 to o win for them. Not dismayed by this defeat, the high school eleven journeyed to Quincy, where they defeated a powerful unbeated Quincy High team, I4 to O. A week later Rock Island cinched the Big Nine Championship by walloping East hloline, I3 to 6. Then on Turkey-Day a Crimson and Gold eleven that forgot all about the Moline 'ljinxu pushed our esteemed- rival in the mud of Browning Field for a decisive I3 to 2 victory to climax a great year of football. lN'Iuch of the credit for this team should go to Head Coach Greene fthe only Crimson mentor who ever beat Moline two successive yearsj and Assistant Coach, Sam Etzel, who has proven himself a great aid to Coach Greene. Grin Schroeder, Henry Barkhurst, and LeRoy lNIillett, three lettermen, will form the nucleus of the team for the 1935 season. . ' 63 Kramer, guardg N. MacDonald, guardg Tudor, centerg O.

Then came a 40 to 30 defeat by St. Joseph's, which was followed up by a 35 to 28 win over Orion. After defeating Orion, the Crimson ran into a streak of tough luck, which resulted in losses by extremely small margins to Davenport, Princeton, Galesburg, East Moline, and Monmouth. It was at this point, however, that Rock Island's squad had a com- plete reversal of form and defeated Orion 29 to 24. Kewanee, erstwhile leader of Big Nine, was overcome 34 to 35. On the following week, Davenport was administered their only defeat during the regular season by a fighting Crimson and Gold quintet, 30 to 28. The high school cagers then dropped, heartbroken, to Moline, 32 to 29, and to Geneseo, 34 to 33. In the last game of the regular playing season Rock Island walloped East Moline 35 to 28 for third place in the Quad-city race. On March 5 the District Basketball Tournament began at the Moline field house. After drawing a bye in the first round, the Crimson smothered Andover 69 to 9, but lost the next game to Moline, who later became state semifinalists, by the score of 41 to 26. In the last game of the year a great rally in the closing minutes of play enabled the Rock Island High cagers to nose out Aledo 34 to 31 for third place in the tourna- ment. Although winning only seven out of 21 games, Coach Greene's cagers displayed a fighting spirit that was never altered throughout the season. They scored an average of 29 points against their opponents' 31, which shows the closeness of the games. Three lettermen, Schroeder, Hanne, and Romanowski, together with an extremely strong sophomore squad will form the nucleus of what should be one of the strongest quintets ever to represent the Crimson, during the 1935-36 season. ,C 65 Kerler, Theus, B.

TRACK Over 150 candidates for the Rock Island High School track squad reported to Coach W. L. Kimmel on March 22 to start training for the I935 track season. Due to cold Weather the squad was confined to indoor practice, but they were suiiiciently strong to defeat their first opponent of the regular season, Dubuque, 14.6 to 101. The following week the tracksters journeyed to Geneseo to take part in the Geneseo relays. On account of disqualifications in three events, Rock Island was nosed out by East Moline. However, the Crimson took revenge by walloping East Moline S6 to 42 in the next meet of the season. Musca- tine came to Rock Island and returned with a one-point victory, IIIMQ to now. The next meet was against the high schools old opponent, Davenport, and an exceedingly strong Red and Blue team overwhelmed the Crimson squad 149W to 76Z. Rock Island's defeats thus far in the season have been due principally to inexperience, Coach Kimmel losing thirteen lettermen of I934.yS Big Nine and District champions. The Crim- son, however, is again expected to retain these titles but not without a battle. The nucleus of this year's squad consists of Captain Martin, Potter, and Buzzard, dashmen, with Tolmie, Tudor, and Powell in the field events. 66 STUDENT ATHLETIC MANAGERS Lawrence Quane VVesley Johnson Hans Schubert Behind the scenes of football, basketball, and track Qbe it in victory or defeatj, stand the student managers and cheer leaders. The student managers of Rock lsland High School's athletic program of 1935 were Wes HSwedel' Johnson and his two assistants, Lawrence Stepin-fetchitn Quane and Hans 'iDutch Schubert. These three students are responsible for equipment, towels, assigning of lockers together with the thousand and one other items that make a manager's job one of work and worry. The Crimsonys contingent of cheer leaders this year boasted Earl Mart and Bill Bell, senior cheer leaders, and Sol Weiner, junior cheer leader. These warriors of the megaphonel' led cheers for the high school athletes with a never-failing spirit of enthusiasm that carried itself not only to the stands but also to the teams themselves. Besides the cheer leaders and managers, Rock Island has a true aid and helper in John Sybrandt, who serves as a trainer and jack-of-all-trades for all the school,s teams. As well as doing this, John is a sort of unpaid track assistant to Head Coach W. L. Kimmel, and his helpful advice and spirit do much toward making high school athletics a valuable extracurricular activity. CHEER LEADERS Sol Weiner Earl Nlart Bill Bell 67 On Friday night, February 8, Daddy VVorm felt like something had gone wrong down at the glue works, so he gave his obtuse son permission to go to the Rock Island High School frolic. Horace was as useful as an ax in a petrified forest, but why hold that against him? The only spending money daddy gave him was a look that would have copper-plated a battleship. When the Blight of Wormvilleu arrived at the gay panorama, he went immediately to the Boy's Hi-Y cane concession. Canes had been a sacred tradition in the Worm family for generations. Why, even old Grandpop Worm had insisted they use a cane-seated electric chair on him. When they gave him the current, he sang, UI wanna go home-so watt? Horace would have felt more at home if the Latin Club's style show had featured the new prison garbs. You were supposed to select a name for the Dramatic Club's musical revue. Horace's mind took many a mental curve on high, but no results. The pains of hunger began to ravish Horace like a forest fire in a rubber tree grove, so he nibbled awhile at the Home Economics Club's candy stand. The Black Hawk Tribe's mock trial ap- pealed to daddy's firstborn because the Worms held a hereditary seat in the mugls lineup down at the precinct station. Even a worm has some self-respect-Horace steered clear of the Alpha Club's fish pond. The Commercial Club's skit had a 'tblight and gloom scene which aroused the fury of misogyny Chatred of womenj in our hero. The only blond hair they ever found on Horace's coat came fromithe hangman's noose. When Horace had witnessed the sparkling musical show given by the Band, he suddenly felt like a pedestrian at an auto show. Horace went limper than a flat tire. Horace agreed with the judges' decision in awarding the cup to the Girls' Hi-Y for their uproarious melodrama. The wormiest of worms wound up in the auditorium to witness the racy main show of the evening. It made him feel as happy as a short- change wizard in the U. S. So then, the invincible Horace took leave of the joyous scene and went down to Bud VVorm's and took a sun-bath under the poolroom light. I WINNERS OF POPULARITY CONTEST RUTH ROBINSON ROBERT TAPIJENIDORF 68 SOP!-IGMORE FALI. PARTY Dexterous Papa VVorm had found his way into the M. A. ballroom and had taken a choice seat on the orchestra platform. Cousin Caterpillar crawled out of the piano and called, Greetings, Uncle Ed. H'lo, Cat, papa was affable. Bill Kramer's six-piece orchestra is furnishing the rhythm tonightf' volunteered Cousin Cat. f'And would you look at those whirling dancersll' f'Loolc, Unk Ed, the whole thing is based on a comic theme, notice the funny papers over the light shades and all around the room. Herschel Gellerman, master of ceremonies, says the first number will be a duet by Audrey Gregory and Keith Kavanaugh, and then Nlarilyn lXfIinteer will give a readingf, They were good. Now their principal, lllr. Hanson, is going to read. Pretty good for a principal. 'fHe says that the VVatkins twins will sing and tap dance. Can they dancell' Now listen to Alice VValdman and Fern Varner and Donna Kramer sing. 'fGet the contracts out. Be careful, there goes the grand trek for refreshments. lVImmmmmm, let's see if we can pick up a few stray crumbs. Later, much later, Daddy Worm returned to his abode of domestic tranquillity. Tired out, but happy, he finally crawled into bed. SOP!-IOMGRE SPRING PARTY Horace Worm undertook to show Grammpa Centipede a good time, so together they crawled to the M. A. ballroom where the sophomore spring party was flourishing. f'Wahoo! shrieked Uncle Centipede. HYippie, I'm a hill billyf' They had stopped at Bud VVormls on the way over for rye bread. Bud was out of bread, but they filled up on rye anyway. Now they turned an eye to the dancers who were gyrating to the syncopation of Linblad,s Rhythm Boys. f'Lyman Litchfield is the master of ceremonies, said the informative Horace. UWhen I fit them rebels- began the inebriated Grammpa. 'iKeith Kavanaugh has just sung 'Isle of Capri,' H said Horace, extricating him- self from the rung of a chair. HI hear that Audrey Gregory's going to sing 'One Night of Love,' and Sylvia Strum's going to do some impersonations of Kate Hepburn,' whispered Horace. Watching these young sophomores devouring ice cream and cake was too much for the epicurean Horace and Grammpa VVorm, so they took an inauspicious departure. -lm ..1f 'r-Q 69 TI-IE JUNIQR-SENIGR PARTY Papa Worm finished his Worzzzziille Gazette and laid it on the table, together with his gold-rimmed glasses. So I promised you a story for tonight, didn't I? he beamed on his six children. Let's have one about fsassietyf H gurgled little I-Iertha Worm. 'fWell,,' began papa, thoughtfully, Hone evening, November 16, 1934, to be exact, I was crawling along Sixth Avenue in front of the high school. I heard music, and the Whole Manual Arts building was lighted up. VVell, I shimmied up the fire escape and found myself in room 31. They were having the Junior-Senior party. A myriad of gaily colored balloons and the lights covered with parchment shades lent a soft glow to the scene. An orchestra, composed of six high school musicians, sent forth tingling music to gyrating couples on the floor. f'The program was a 'little red schoolhouse' skit, with Earl lVIart acting as master of ceremonies and teacher. Mr. Hanson, that's their principal, recited a poem in a baby-talk dialect. Then Miss Dorothy Peterson gave two delightful readings. Carl Lieberman sang a song in German and Irene DeMoney played an accordion solo. June Meade sang and tap danced. Earl lVIart and lbiildred Jensen sang a duet. There Was a boy named Truman Kolls who imitated a dunce admirably. HI-Iow about the eats ?', piped the corpulent little Willie VVorm, a veritable glut- ton if there ever was one. r A huge wedge of pumpkin pie topped off with whipped cream, and there were candy sticks, toof, 'fUmmmmmmmh, commented the fat Willie. I'll bet they never had a better time in their lives, concluded papa, and promptly dropped off to sleep. The old man's asleep, whispered Hertha Worm, mischievously, f'let's all crawl down to the Manual Arts building and see if anything is going on. And they did. 70 SENICDI2 I-IQNOI2 RCDLI. JLJNIGR-SENICR RECEPTICDN i'Come in to shore, Horace, Daddy Worm cried from the edge of the Hsh-bowl, UI have a surprise for youf' '4What's the matter ?,' inquired Horace, swimming up to' his father. f'Bud Worm's agreed to take me in as a partner, and lim going to celebrate. 'lTake us to the Junior-Senior Reception, why donytcha ?', Horace suggested. Three minutes later the Worm family had arrived. VVhat a sight met their eyes! VVisteria-covered trellis harmonized with the silver and green color scheme. Soon came the Grand March. Then dancing-bingo games-cards-a play- novelty numbers. Hfust like a fsassiety function ly exclaimed Hertha. Gaiety, laughter, and joy reverberated throughout the evening. VVhen at last the lights were dimmed and the couples began leaving, the Worm family silently took leave and crawled home.

Vacation just -whizzvd by. I have a hunch welre going to have a keen time this year, though. Our first Commercial Club meeting on September 18 was a never- to-be-forgotten wiener roast at Watch Tower park. The twenty-first we defeated Sterling I3 to 6. You should have heard the MacDonald twins tell how much fun it was to play in the mud. On the twenty-second we Hi-Y Girls sold forget-me-nots for the disabled war veterans. We beat St. Joseph, 26 to o, on October SQ and then there were two days of vacation to rest our overworked minds. I havenlt said a word about studies, have I? Report cards came out on October 15. But they weren't half so important as the beauty contest that started the same day, and the way the boys were giving us the once-over was too much. The fifteen most beautiful girls were chosen, and Eileen OlBrien won first place-Ilm enclosing her picture in the McCabe ad. She is dressed in the newest toggery. Not so bad, eh, wot? Gladiola, every senior class thinks they have the best olficersg but I think, in fact I'm sure, ours are the best. With Bob Tappy' Tappendorf, president, Alice Lindstrom, vice-president, and Ruth Robinson, secretary, you'll see there is nothing to argue about. Forrest Hainline is president of the junior class, LeRoy Millett is vice-president, and Andrew Condrack is secretary. Keith Kavanaugh presides over the sophies, with Darwin Flanigan as vice-president, and Blanche Kirkham as secretary. Marjorie Whisler represented us in the Big Nine on October 26. Her declamation, The Florist Shop, was just chuck full of wit. November 2 Rock Island beat Davenport 7 to 0. I nearly burst my lungs cheering-nearly. Our junior-senior party was held on the sixteenth and everyone had a keen time at the little red schoolhouse. Dear friend, I must dash to a long-expected history test. Hope for me. MINNIE MAY. Dear Gladiola: You should have been here November 28, Gladiola, because more nice things happened. The glee clubs gave an exceptional concert. I was thrilled by the a cappella numbers. A cute cheer leader from Moline came down to cheer up our boys. He did a swell job, and we won I3 to 2 on Thanksgiving Day. The band played, and we marched in mud so deep that most of us lost our hipboots. Our boys played their first basketball of the season with Sterling, winning 32 to 24. Wotta game! , The sophies had their big night at the Hrst class party on December 7. It was also an important night for us upper-classmen-LeRoy Gippert won second in the Big Nine oratory. December I5 the Dramatic Club presented A'The Goose Hangs High. It was the first smashing hit of the dramatic season. The band and glee clubs participated in the second annual community Christmas festival at Augie on December 18. It was a real success and-oh-the holiday spirit was beautiful. The last big event before Christmas vacation was the sixth annual band concert on the twenty-first. VVe played 'tDanse Macabra so well that even the mice in the basement of the Augie gym were inspired to action. We have an extra gunny sack you can borrow in case your stocking is too small for all the presents you'll get from Santa. MINNIE MAY. Dear Gladiola: Crisp and clear and casual-only 120 below. Cold hands mean a warm heart -that's why I'm endeavoring to write to you. January 7 vacation ended, but the good times continue. I went to the Speech Class plays 72 the fifteenth and was so thrilled. Gee, we have a real collection of actors and actresses. I bet Miss Pete Could get a job any time in Hollywood directing plays or movies. As much as you love fish, Gladiola, would you eat a live one? Bill Johnson ate one for twenty cents, so Bill Davis tells me. Imagine your stomach being tickled from the inside! Most of us passed on January 21, and the junior high schools sent the cutest bunch of puppies-I mean sophies-to us. Illl bet the kids, especially the girls, never studied history so much as they do now since Gus Larson, Augie's football hero, is the assistant teacher to Miss Liebbe. February 8 we held our annual Frolic. Every organization made a million dollars-almost. Polite Mr. Metcalf, my business arithmetic teacher, slipped in class and harshly commanded, Be still, my fluttering heart. February II was a big day for our fight-to-the-last-minute cagers. We met undefeated Kewanee and spoiled their record by setting them down 35 to 34. On the sixteenth we defeated Davenport 30 to 28. They also had a wonderful record till we came along and made a record for ourselves. Lois Weinberger is a wiz in typing. She did 65 words a minute, perfectly. Gee, most of us are tickled to death if we can pass a test at 45 words a minute with 6 errors. On the twenty-first we had open house, and Mom'n Pop will never get over it. March 7 the honor roll came out. Dorothy Rucker broke all records by tying with nobody for seven A's. I am holding my breath till you write me a letter, so donit wait too long or you will be held for murder. MINNIE MAY. Dear Gladiola: Think of having the highest percentage of any class for ten years! Goodness! 'fLibby Ann Montgomery is the record-breaker with an average of 97.27 per cent. The junior class play, The Late Christopher Bean, was presented on March 22 to a big house. With such a cast, such a play, and such a coach, it's no wonder everyone got .such a kick out of it. Ah! meet the champs! And when I say champs, I donit mean two or three, I mean 90-the band! Bern was so pleased that he promised all of us a ride in his famous Pontiac. Two hundred sophies turned out for the party on the twenty-ninth and had a great time. April 1 began the week of spring vacation-no foolin'! Our track team ran off with a victory over Dubuque-147 to IOI. Miss Cherryblossomf' the sixth annual operetta, was given April I2 and 13. It was the most charming operetta I've ever seen. Daniel Nystrom was placed second in Big Nine extemp. on the twelfth, and our steno team placed second, also, at Kewanee, on the thirteenth. The very thought of going to the state contest inspired the band to play brilliantly at their spring concert on the twenty-sixth. A record-breaking crowd of 1800 attended the concert. At 5:30 in the morning, May 4, many admirers cheered the band on to victory as they left for the state contest, where they took third place. Miss Pete ought to get a whole bouquet of orchids for the wonde1'ful work she did on the senior class play, The Foolfl presented May IO and 11. Each night was better than the other. The annual Girls' Hi-Y senior farewell and ring ceremonial was held May 29, at which rings were presented to members who have proved themselves real girls. The junior-senior prom, held May 17, was a perfect dream! With superb music, lovely girls, heavenly eats, and Mr. Hanson to dance with, you can see that I'm not kidding. And now to be more serious: senior assembly, May 24, was the first of the big events for us graduates. Commencement services we1'e held on the twenty-sixth, Class Day on the twenty- ninth, and last and most important of all, on May 31 I actually received my diploma, as did about three hundred others.

ROBERT TAPPENDORF Piano Solo-Winged Winds, by Cecil Burleigh. .. ......... IRENE BECK Dramatization-'looking Forward STORY Three hundred years ago, our forefathers founded the Boston Latin School, the first secondary school in America. By way of celebrating this event, the class of 1935 has chosen as its theme for its Class Day Program the tercentenary anniversary of secondary education in our country. Those participating in this program have been selected from the Senior Honor Roll. Contrasts were shown between the materials and methods of teaching in the colonial period and those of the present time. For the former period, there were lessons in Latin, history, and grammar. For the latter, the students held panel discussions in science, history, English, music, and home economics. From this line-up of subjects, it will be seen that emphasis on the Objective of secondary education has changed from that of preparation for college to that of preparation for life. The American high school is the most important social institution in our life, and it is an institution of which only America can boast. Therefore, it seems all the more befitting and proper that we should celebrate this occasion in this manner. Reader ...................... ................

Reminiscences of events back Eastv . . . doings of Blackhawkis Indians on the nearby reservation . . . the government land sales . . . the ex- ploits of Andrew Jackson . . . quali- fications of Martin Van Buren . . . the probable duration of the finan- cial panic . . . And especially, since they were all interested in farming, they talked of John Deereis efforts to perfect his new-fangled steel plow so that it would work under all conditions in the rich, black, greasy prairie soil. v o 4.0 4.4 They saw him coming and going with trial plows eve-ry day. Above the htun of the saw-mill, they could hear him hammering in the shop. 'iHe'll never do it, said one. MBe- sides, the old plows work all right in timber land, and there is plenty of timber to be cleared off in this country. Deere's got the right ideaf' said an- other, but, my gracious, where will he get the steel? It would have to come all the way from England. I told hirn the other day, said a third, L' 'Darnn the odds, Johng why all this trouble and hard work? Your plows are good enoughg you're the only blacksmith around here, and the farmers will have to take what you make.' And he said: 'They won't ever have to take what I make, but they will take it if I build a plow that will do perfect work in this prairie soil, and thatis what I'm go- ing to do.' O , That was the vision, the rugged hon- esty and the unfaltering determina- tion from which resulted the John Deere steel plow in the various shapes which became the world's standards-the steel plow which con- quered the wilderness and became a leading factor in making America the greatest of nations. Later John Deere expressed the same spirit in his familiar maxim, Build the best and the trade will be quick to appreciate it, and today the same significance is back of the John Deere trade-mark, the badge of quality which goes on every unit in the complete line of John Deere Farm Equipment.
