Rockford High School - RHS Yearbook (Rockford, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1909 volume:

Qma FORE ORD 1 HIS numher of the ANNUAL is submitted to the critical review of its readers. ln this matter, it is hoped that all will he candid and frank, at the same time reasonable in their deductions, hearing in mind that the publication is the sole product of the High School. The work, whether from a literary or artistic viewpoint, is the re- sult of the efforts of its members. It may have its shortcomings. therefore, but we hope that these may he overlooked, inasmch as the editors and management have zealously labored and cooperated forthe ideal that the edition ofthe year-hook might be ranked as a model, as well as a suggestion, ot what the school can do. Throughout but one spirit has actuated those in control, namely, that the hook might reliect in every way, the life, character and activities of the High School. This, as all know, is composed of the commonplace events, the semi-humorous, the humorous, and the occasionally ludicrous, but the sum-total make up, the unit life of the institution. It is all given in the spirit of magnanimity and good fellowship for the High that liaunts the colors of black and crimson. Q In 'un 'IIUIIP 'nl ll Q THE ANNUAL 1909 g 5l II?

Versatile in all the needs of the school ller noble life and works have left an imperish- able heritage to many a boy and girl. Miss Waldo-Ntere it not for the breadth of insight of this woman, many a youthful student would find his researches a drudgery. and his labors of study, discontent. She mirrors the brightest things of a school room. ' Miss Brown-This is for .iXg'nes. llas never been accused of disturbing the peace. Deeply sensible of her work and duty. Iler amiable ways make the scientific studies pleasant. Miss Vincent-Harriet, Mr. Reader. .tn exception to the rule that women do all the talking. Sel- dom seen outside of home or room 47.

Young, yet very successful in the calling to which she has been called. Very susceptible to jokes and puns. Constant contributor to 0wl . SCHOOL ANNUAL I3 Miss Hunter-One of her striking characteristics is to be found in the frankness with which she not infrequently expresses her mind.

Miss Foster-Known to all, admired by all, helpful to all. Almost the sumtotal of her daily work. The worth of her every act is in being, not seeming. Mr. Haight-This man's name is allowed to slip in here because he is married. This name refers to the senior member of the family. A very genial gentleman. stern in his ways, yet is classed among the latter day humorists. High School band and this gentleman are one and inseparable. Has recently taken to baseball.

Her vocabulary is profuse in tints, angles, shapes, proportions, spacing, and landscapes. Mr. Haupt-This name is quite Germany. He comes from Missouri. It is necessary to show him. Of the newcomers among the men on the faculty he is the most normal in his habits. He is married. His field maneuvres add greatly to baseball games. Mr. Ludens-Generally sober.

All stage settings a bright, vivid green Loca- tion: llefore Rockford High School. Above the door is a shining statue of Fama, patron goddess of R. H. S., resplendent with trophies brought to her feet hy former classes. As the curtain rises there is a great commotion, and with the aid of opera glasses one can see a large company of small boys and girls entering, some with playthings. They are met and welcomed by a kindly, intelligent looking man and a lady with raven black hair, piercing black eyes, and the original vinegar aspect. The Freshmen Qfor such the small people arej fairly shrivel up for fear, more so when behind a screen they see some older boys, in waiting with red and black paint. In spite of the gentleman and the tiger lady, these boys soon rush out, and with the cry, 1-lail! Class of 'o9! set upon the wee boys with a literal flood of red and black. fCurtain Falls.j Scene 2. The curtain rises, revealing the interior of a school-room. The green scenery is a trifle faded and very mouldy. The cross-looking lady is en- throned behind the desk, spy-glass in' hand. The The new little people are all very busy over a high stack of painfully new books. A teacher here and there smiles at this remarkable industry, and glances significantly at a pile of report cards. A few upper classmen, looking in, turn away with alarmed looks, anxiously feeling for the laurel wreaths on their brows. Guess we'd better look out, they say, 'Tis plain the Naught Niners are here to work! fCurtain.1 ACT II. Scene 1. A schoolroom, much like that in Act I, Scene 2. All green scenery has given place to crimson, black, navy blue, and white. The lady of the vinegar aspect no longer rules at the desk, but in her place sits a Beau Brummel, with red hair and a jolly red face. All the teachers are beaming upon the Sopho- mores, who are somewhat decreased in number but increased in size, and very busy at their books. Thru open windows can be seen some athletic youths performing with balls, and playing antics upon the track, to the wonder and admiration of a new class of Freshmen. I:Curtain.1 Scene 2. Same as Scene I. The company of main actors, though in rather crowded a condition, are working away faithfully. Teachers and other students ex- press unfeined admiration for this enterprising class. There is some dreamy, air-castle talk of a wonderful new building that is to be. lCurtain.1 ACT Ill. Scene I. As the curtain rises there is a great deal of ham- mering, sawing, and disturbance in general, and we see the honorable juniors bravely trying to study amid the tumult of the carpenters. The room is larger and more splendid than before,-all brand new. On the high new platform is a kind, gray- haired lady, keeping faithful watch over the Juniors and Seniors. The report cards still have a flattering 20 THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL appearance, and the teachers smile broadly as they say, XYhat can they not do when the new building is all nicely finished? The curtain falls amid a deafening clash of noises of carpentering. Scene 2. The rising of the curtain reveals thc room in Scene 1, now finished off beautifully. The confusion of carpenters has quieted and cleared away. The juniors. decreased still more in numbers, are work- ing most industriously. Anxious puckers have al- ready begun to appear in their foreheads. Yet the reports are still a credit to their labors, and the ath- letes have grown surprisingly in number and glory. The juniors are also well represented in the lland, tilee Club, Debating Society,-in fact, all the organ- izations of the school. liveryone is proud of our heroes and heroines. Only one event marks the pleasure of this scene. .-Xt the close, the kind gen- tleman who first welcomed these people as Fresh- men enters and bids a sad farewell to the mourn- ful study body. ffurtain falls.:I ACT IY. Scene 1. I.-Xll stage settings blue and whitej . The curtain, rising, reveals a very busy scene. ln the foreground the main body of now dignified Seniors is poring over deep volumes, their brows contracted with the mighty concentration of their brilliant intelleets. A group of teachers, now head- ed by a dark young gentleman, look on approvingly from the background. To the left is a group of ath- letes. football, baseball, basketball and track heroes, each crowned with a wreath of fresh laurels. and surrounded by a worshipping throng of lower class- men. At the right is a large table, over which hovers a grand old Owl, the task master of the large company about the table. At their head is a Naught Niner, however,-so of course the old bird is very happy and prosperous. Not far away another group is busy compiling the Annual, CXVith what sue- cess you are witnessj. At the other side of the stage a young orator, resplendent with a well won medal, is vying with a young lady who is deelaim- ing at his side. The teachers are busy piling up the work, For, as they say, 'tis our last chance at this banner class. Scene 2. ltefore R. H. S., as in Act I.

All are weeping cotxiously,-athletes, orators, artists and students. The teachers and under-classmen are sadly bidding them farewell. Men and women of the world, too, are here, eagerly beckoning the Seniors forth into society, business. education, philanthropy,-all the different walks of life. Then, each proud graduate receives his or her diploma, earned by slow and pain- ful degrees. and fondly looking back all cry, l are- well, dear Rockford High l fCurtain falls.1 -I.. O. VV. 'o9.

THE ROCKFORD The Clas I-Ili Sophomore year is always the year when a class awakens to the great possibilities of high school life. The class of IQII has proved no ev- ception to this rule and has this year began her march toward the goal I 4 I I I I 4 of success. She has started to work her way to the front in athletics, in oratory and debating, in school work and in social atiairs. The athletic spirit has proved exceptionally strong and has demonstrated itself both on the tield and in the class meetings. Un the athletic held it has been the source of much honor to the class. ln class meetings it has sometimes proved so strong that it took the combined efforts of the president, the gavel, and Miss Giddings to prevent room IO from being turned into a gridiron. HIGH sof SCHOCL ANNUAL 31 1911 lf the game had been fairly started once. no doubt some longstanding records would have been broken. However. this is the kind of strut that class spirit is made of and will stand in good stead in time of need. The school work of this class is too well known to require mention, but it might be well to add that four A report cards are common occurrences. It is well represented in oratory and debating. boasting of some good men in each department. ln social attairs it stands second to none and the way in which they and the class of '12 conducted the reception last April, made the juniors and Seniors sit up and take notice. The presidents of the class for the past year, Roger T. XVelsh and llosmer l'orter, have con- ducted class affairs in a creditable manner and de- serve much praise for the part which they have taken in making the class of IQII what it is. l ...,,,,..........-.--Q-W y'l tgi- FUTURE HOME 117.5 II 1 L 5 --T4 -X Lim mi W M Qi N , q5QfXx 'fLf' Xi 'g ' Qi' m 'X , ,GX 1 , V, -- -V i,.,,-,.,,V-vi-,Egg-,f-k XY' 5:43 x 'X ,Q E1 V.

That word so widely used and so little understood. lXlen have said, and still say, that it has been the cause of their downfall. Richard Bar- rington was one of these. Sitting in his office he was trying to recollect if at any time he had depart- ed from the straight and narrow path, that fate should so blight his hopes. It was just his ill luck: fate and fortune had turned against him. He thought, not of the will of Him, who directs all, liim who rights all in the end: he thought only of his temporary misfortune. Richard, better known as Dick. was a real es- tate agent. The Rockford Land Company had in- stalled him as agent after several other agents had failed to boost Rockford: and Dick had made good. Tlirough his untiring and unceasing energy, espe- cially in the advertising line, the southeast end of the city had been boomed. Nearly all of the land, which his company owned, had been sold, many houses were in the process of construction, and a great many already finished. Then rumors began to spread that the ground was boggy and would become nothing but marshes in a short timeg some said Rockford would never grow out that far,that the land was perfectly worth-- less: and like most rumors, without the least foun- dation, caused havoc. Day after day, Dick's former customers entered his office with offers to sell back the land for half of what they paid for it. But Dick's orders were to refuse all offers. The president of the company. after a long talk with Dick, told him in conclusion that they were not in business for their health. Al- though the rumors were groundless they had caused the trouble and nothing could be done. So we find Dick gazing into space, tryingto think of some plan whereby he might recuperate. Only a few mouths previous, everything had looked so bright and pros- perous, but now he was thoroughly disgusted with real estate. He said over and over again to him- self, that he never wanted to see the office again. He was startled from the reverfe by a knock at the door. He called a grutl Come in, and the door opened. Good day, madam. what can I do for you P I have come to see about those lots in the south- east endf' Oh, Dick noticed his visitor for the first time. She was dark, dresed in maroon. Her eyes were dark brown and her hair black. Her voice was soft, almost an eutreaty in every word. He thought she was far prettier, than even Dante's beloved. After his first start of surprise. his business nature and native shrewdness returned to him. They are the best lots around theref, he responded, they will soon be worth two or three times the price they are now selling for. The city will grow around them in a few years. The street car companies have map- ped out proposed lines and,- She interrupted his flow of speech. Yes, I know, but I already own four of these lots. I heard that the land is not what it is sup-- posed to be. and mother sent me up here to see if we could get our money back. The money was our savings since father died and we thought we had in- vested wisely. Surely you won't refuse to return the money? 3h THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Ah! why were entraneing eyes always added to charming features? Surely one of the two was enough. She seemed to have little or no knowledge of business or she would never have asked to have her money returned. His orders were to-well hang the orders this time-he would refund the money and stand the loss himself. Reaching into a drawer in the safe he pulled out the amount necessary and in reply to her last question said: tif course not. liveryone has a perfect right to invest their money as they see fit. If the invest- ment proves a failure, he lied smoothly, as only real estate men can, they should have their money refunded. She started for the door. but suddenly remember- ing something, turned around and said: By the way. Klr. llarrington, there is a beautiful stretch of level land about thirty miles from here, near Free- port. I would be much obliged if you would in- vestigate and see if the land is for sale. lf it is, eall on me, and we will discuss the terms in pur- chasing part of it. Here is my card, and with a 1 iood-day , she was gone. Dick picked up the card. Marion Maxwell. he mused. Thirteen twenty- six XYashington Blvd. XVell, l'll investigate any- way, it will help fill up my idle time now. Dick did not know that millionaire Harrison owned the land or he would never have undertaken any investigation. Had he further known that the land had been reserved for the site of a home for the millionaire's son and wife, who were then trav- elling abroad, he would have discarded any idea of influencing Rlr. Harrison to convert the land into lots. For Dick knew that lXlr. Harrison was a de- termined man, and on no account had ever been known to alter any plan which he had decided upon. lint as Dick knew nothing of this he remained hap- pily ignorant. Dick set out next day upon his investigation. He soon learned, that Mr. Harrison, the millionaire, owned this tract of land, but he did not let this fact annoy him: he only became more determined than ever to see whether or not he could buy some of this land. He did not know why it was, but some- how or other he found himself looking forward ex- pectantly to the visit he was to pay to Marion. Surely he could not tell her he had not succeeded. No, that would never dog but what was he to do? Here he was with the reputation of being a real es- tate agent, that is. with the reputation that he nad been. How was he to combat with a millionaire, who had money and power, who could let the land go to waste if he so desired? He resolved that he would at least call upon Xlr. Harrison to see if there were any possible chance of inducing him to divide the tract of land into lots. and open it to speculators in real estate. That evening he thought over several plans, whereby he could accomplish his purpose. but it seemed that none would have any influence over the millionaire. Suddenly a plan occurred to him. l might start a rumor, the same as was done regarding the southeas: lots. l'll tell that the land is unhealthful and that he will be endargering the lives of his son and daughter-in-law. lt's the only way--of course there would be a little untruth in it-but all is fair in love and. pshaw! XYhere am l wandering to? l've only seen her once: and l'm not a heliver in love at first sight anyway. No--l can't do that-it wouldn't be exactly on the square. Hut l've made up my mind to pay that visit. and lll not go unless l can tell her the land is for sale. And if l can't tell her so by doing the square thing l'll not tell her anything at all. l'll see Nr. llar- rison in the morning anyway. The next day Dick called upon llr, Harrison determined not to disclose his identity, for in case THE ROCKFORD H he failed no one would ever hear of it. The servant announced that lNlr. Harrison was at home and would see him. As he opened the door he was greeted by ahearty Good morning, sir, nice day. Good morning. lXlr. Harrison. I have come to see you about your land at Freeport. I trust you will hear me as it is very important that you do. Now the land is- . Here Mr. Harrison came to the rescue. By jovel just the thing I wanted to discussg that land near Freeport. Let me give you the de- tails. You see, my son and his wife are pretty well advanced in social circles and intended to make their home on this tract of land: we call it Oakdale. I secretly bought up the land within a radius of five miles so as to hold a monopoly. But somehow or other this fact leaked out. and the social set decided to build elsewhere. Naturally my son did not want to be alone at Oakdale, so he too decided to build elsewhere. Now what I am trying to get at is this. The land as it is, is a hindrance and bother to me, in fact so much so, that I would be willing to dispose of it for half price. This is a good opportunity for a hustling and energetic real estate agent. But you were going to propose some plan about the land. Vilhat is it? Just what you've suggested, Dick joyfully re- plied. I came to tell you that that land would bring a good price if divided into lots, and again his shrewd business ability appeared, as he deftly re- commended himself: given to a good real estate agent. handing him his card. After considering a few moments Mr. Harrison replied: Well, Mr. Barrington, if you are ready to undertake the deal. I am. Come up tomorrow and we'll make arrangements. Iwill let that half price offer stand. Is it a go? IGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 37 I am very much obliged, Mr. Harrison, but- , hesitated Dick, I have a very important engage- ment tomorrow. How will the day after do ? Mr. Harrison evidently noticed the emphasis on the word important , and as he was in a very ami- able and agreeable mood at the moment, he replied: Very well, Mr. Barrington. that date will be satis- factory to me. I'll not detain you any longer. The day after tomorrow then. Good day. Dick walked out of the house feeling jubilant. The world had arrayed herself in a new gown within the last hour, for everything was bright and cheer- ful, even the birds' sweet notes were full of life and pleasure. How different everything was since she had appeared! Yes, he concluded, that engagement was very important for he wanted to tell her the news as soon as possible. Tomorrow was a long, long way off. He awoke with nature the next morning, wish- ing for two o'clock to come, for that was the time he had decided to call, when Marion was at work so that he could surprise her when she came home. But imagine what was his surprise when she opened the door at his ring to admit him. His first glance at her showed him that she was downcast and and dejected about something. But on recognizing him she assumed a happy smile. VVhy, Mr. Barrington! How you did surprise me. I thought you had forgotten all about me. But everything has not fared well with me. Fate has led astray all my well-laid plans. Fate was getting it in the neck again, poor unfortunate Fate! How innocent, and yet how much abused you are. Forgotten you! Why Miss Maxwell. I'd never for- he checked himself in time, I mean-why I mean-the dickens, he gasped. I mean I never forget business. Don't you remember our engage- ment? I've seen about that land.

XVooley thc hase hall team has shown fine form and prog- ress this season. Several out of town games have heen played and all were won except the Mt. Mor- ris College game, which however proved interest- ing but disastrous to the hoys. Capt. Thomas has led the team most success- fully and has developed a very fast infield including lfrank Thomas at third hase. l'ezz Graves as short stop, Schrom at second and Holm Thomas at first base. licky Johnson is a very fast fielder and is certainly a power to the team hoth in hat- ting and in fast fielding. The boys. although not yet through with the schedule. hope to win the majority of the games. Perry Graves as manager has arranged a schedule which any high school would he proud to have.

There will be about eight or nine vacancies tilled by September. llenn VVor- den and liugene tiarey will graduate and Evans Kern, who has been doing post graduate work, will not return. The prospects are bright for a better band next year than we have had before. 'l'he boys have played on the following occasions this year: Foot-ball games. Basket-ball games. Base-ball games. Athletic rallies. Sons of Yeterans' llenetit at Coliseum. Memorial Day for G. A. R. Concert at Armory, llenetit of lland and lioxs Club. Elks' Klinstrel Show at Opera House.

To meet this neecl the Science Club was origauizetl. This cluh is composed of four sections, namely: The Home licouomics. the lfugineering. the Outing. :incl the XYireless 'ilClCgI'2l1Jl'lj'. .Xny person in the school is eligible to one or more of these clivisions. The instructors whose departments are represented in these divisions :let as censors. The president .uf the cluh is electetl each year by the members. llesirles this ezlch section has Zl presiding chztirmun. The sections holcl iiuliviclual meetings once every week. The meetings of the Science Cluh are callezl once every mouth. Mr. Cliziuncey Calkins, president. cleserves much praise for the success of the orgzinizzttion. .f A ,V lt , , HOME ECONOMICS CLUB 53 THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL The Home Economics Section The purpose of this section is to discuss ideas or topics of interest in the household, which cannot he taken up in the regular course on this subject. Some of the meetings are in form of demonstrative lee-- tures, while others are science visits to places of in- terest. Mr. Norris and Miss Jenks are the teachers in charge of the meetings. Melicent King was ap- pointed chairman. The Outing Section Lectures, laboratory work, field trips, picnics! Sounds good, doesn't it? That's just what the Out- ing section stands for. Everything that is interest- ing in the great field of nature. This work embraces microscopic study of small plants and animals, birds and their habits. making collections of flowers, plants and insects, and field studies of plants and plant societies. NVith forty active members under the able leadership of Miss Brown and Miss VValdo the Outing section has accomplished a great deal. This club is one out of a favored few in the Unite-l States that receive complimentary subscriptions to Country Life for work contributed to their Nature Department. XVilford johns is chairman. 1 xe- so ' x fl- . . r 'r 'U , l lvfflhxlf I Q j f 5 The Engineering Section The study of manufacturing and constructive engineering were the subjects treated by this sec- tion under the direction of Mr. VVooley. Une of the most interesting as well as most valuable sub- jects taken up was the steel industry. Mr. XfVooley is an authority on this and did his subject full jus- tice. Phillips Armour is chairman. The Wireless Telegraphy Section This section was instrumental in erecting the wireless station at our school and is porthy of praise for this act. The members have spent their time in the study of the principles of the ditierent wireless systems and have also discussed the improvements from time to time as they have been developed. Most of the members now have sets of their own, which they have learned to operate successfully. The value of such training cannot be overestimated, and as a result a number of expert operators should be started in their careers. Mr. Norris and Miss Glenny are the instructors who have assisted this section with Chauncey Calkins, chairman. -w. R. J.

Tl'e member- ship has increased until at the present time the number of active workers is many. ln the matter of success the society feels very proud. Much itu- provement has marked the effort of the year. XYhen the club was first organized, it was de- cided that, while it was designed primarily for lit- erary ends, the work of debating would not bc ex- cluded. As a result the field of mental activity has been pursued quite vigorously by the members. The success in this line is best proved by the fact that a team of young ladies administered a crushing de- feat to a team of young men representing the R. ll. S. Debating Club. The other lines of work engaged in were original orations, composition, stories and reading. parlia- mentary drill and extemporaneous speaking as xvell. Un the xvhole the club has experienced a very successful year. The wishes are many that this may be the record in the years to come. 3 ., '-Q, ,Eg .g - 'ii I - iff f 7 Eff' W1 f'f I vw' GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 63 R. H. S. Debating Society Une of the primary purposes of this society was the entering of new fields of contest for the honor of the school, but the foundation was far deeper than this. Realizing that the value of making a good platform appearance has an effect on every phase of life. whether that life be private or public, special attention has been paid to careful prepara- tion of the Thursday evening debates, from which great good has been received. It is a gratifying fact that visible fruits of the soeiety's labors have been shown in the contests thus far undertaken. Un December 18. a team com- posed of Klessrs. Shanhouse, Hay and Carpenter met Freeport in the Beloit College League contest. and though they did exceptionally well for Rock- ford's first interscholastic contest. met defeat at the hands of the more experienced Freeport team. .-Xfter the Freeport debate. negotiations were im- mediately set on foot for a debate with XYest Au- rora. Un Xlarch 26, a team composed of Messrs. Anglemire, Shanhouse and Youngs met and defeat- ed the XVest Aurora trio. This was the Hrst forensic victory for the school in many years.

These he opened with his sheath knife, which he found in the pocket of his sheath gown, and found-poor. Helped out by a couple dozen cocoanuts and a gallon of gingerale, they made up his midday and evening meals.

He was up with the dawn. hastened to the spring. and was horrified to see there in his own reflection half a dozen incisions a foot deep in his throat. He spent the second day as he had passed the first: capturing mussels and knocking down co- eoanuts. For this rather strenuous hunt he first trained a wild mustang, which he caught flying arotmd, to dash in after a retreating wave: hook a chain about the ferocious mussel and drag him to shore. Here an obliging eagle cracked it open by dropping it from a mile or two in the air. Growing tired of knocking down cocoanuts he trained a mus- sel to do it for him. He also tried the soapy water on his clothes. As it was growing late he selected a convenient palm and settled down to sleep in the lower branch- es tthe lower branches of a palm tree are about oz ft. above groundj. .Ngain he awoke to smell that terrible odor of the soda fountain and to see-17-tzg? lle fainted. In the morning he found himself almost submerged in the spring sopping up soda water as fast as he could and. in the middle of his breast were-some more incisions.

'l'hat same nameless dread came over him and he butted otn. .Xfter he had become more calm he started on fl tottr of exploration, in which he was quite success- ful for he found a spring tof salt waterj, some green cocoannts, and a place where the coral reef was not over IO miles from shore. tlradually as he travelled. the trees and bushes grew stunted, the whole atmosphere seemed different, and tiually he came to a rocky promontory absolutely devoid of vegetation. 'llhere in the rocks out of a hole seemed to issue a familiar blighting breath. XYith his dis- quieting thoughts in full blast tfurnaeel, he turned and hastened away. As evening approached, what with the memory of his two nights and of the day's experience heavy on him, he grew positively panic-stricken at the thought of spending another night on the island Looking out to sea he was almost knocked down by an idea which struck him, and he set off down the beach to the point he had noticed. plunged in, and swam the to miles to the reef. NVhen darkness fell he was comfortably en- sconced in a sheltered nook on some sharp rocks, where,after a few minor frights, he fell asleep. llut not to peace. He dreamt he was imprisoned in a drug store after having drunk some grape juice, that some people there were thrusting straws down his throat, trying to get the grape juice: they were kil-- ling him. He knew no more till he awoke. This time there were two incisions directly over his heart. THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL llc sat in to reason the thing out. Something was pursuing him, sapping his life tgrape jlllC6i!, killing him. ,He knew where it lived. He would seek it out or die in the attempt. The swim to the island took only two strokes and soon he was on his way down the beach, fol- lowing his nose. At last he came to the barren place with its cave. 'lust as he was walking up to the hole he stumbled and fell over an idea. 'l'urning around he came to a tu1'nip tree,picked some fruit caineback and-threw them recklessly into the opening, know- ing that a vampire ean't suck grape juice out of a turnip.

Talked incoherently, tearing at his breast, about vampi1'es. Upon examination found three sets of deep incisions. in throat, middle breast, and over heart respectively. A pecular odor as of a soda fountain, clung to him. Nothing to identify him except a tattooed design of a wireless outfit and the letters XY. XV. 'l'he man died soon after.

The Editor. REVERIES OF A QUARTETTE 09 INSIDE VIEWS THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TI The Bittersweet of Boyhood l'll give you two 'caniles' for the tick tack. Uh-uh, I. gota use it tonight. NX'hat for? I interrogated. Me and the Courtland street bunch. we all got 'em. l'romise not to squeal and l'll put you wise to the game. At this juncture the conversation with my neighbor in the chancel of the Iimmanual choir came to a close. The organ struck the opening notes of the- recessional. Vie rose and when with a martial tread and out- ward show of calmness passing the altar rail I over- heard a kindfaced elderly lady whisper to her com- panion, .-Xin't they the little angels? Couldn't do anything bad, could they? .Xt last-it seemed hours-we had finished. liach beside his own locker waited to join in the chant of the Amen after the rector's benediction. Then all was confu- sion as each grabbed blindly for his coat with one hand. and for the innumerable buttons of his vest- mcnts with the other. Soon we were outside. The pent-up spirits of two long hours found riotous vent in various and fantastic forms of vocal gymnastics: in the case of lXlonkey Ives and Ilill Rhodes the culmination. by fistic encounter, of an old feud. I soon found myself under the band-stand in the park, surrounded by the Courtland street bunch, who after many queries as to my ability to keep mum told me of their daring nocturnal plots and adventures. On this occasion the victim of their plot was my teacher in the Courtland Street school. who was, in our childish minds, almost as abiding an element as that institution itself. She had lately taken unto herself a beau: not that this was in itself strange. but unprecedented in our short experience. XVe. with light tread, bold mien and braggard sway advanced up the thoroughfare, on our way annihilating the Ilrown Street clan. On arriving at our point of destination a hurried consultation was held, in which it was decided that we should work by twos, bitt as there was an odd number and. as I was a new recruit my mettle needed testing, it was decreed by Cucumber, the bully of the bunch. that I should go last-and alone. In a moment I was under the shelter of a nearby tree, holding in my hand a newly made tick-tack. which was a source of interest until, as I heard the ominous sound of a like instrument working on a window of the opposite side of the house. which was followed by a deathly quiet, I shook with fear. In a few moments another sounded nearer by, then a third, then a fourth. upon which I realized that. all too soon, my turn had come. My fear had steadily increased, my nerve decreased. VVith a weak-kneed, nervous step I approached my window. through the curtain of which a bright light tried to pierce. I iCONTINUED IN ADS.
