The director, Mr. Willming, thought that better work would be done, and it would be more interesting if the club had officers to preside at the meetings. At least one business meeting is held every week. A deposit of twenty-five cents is made, and for each unexcused tardy or absence, five cents is taken from this fee. Miss Kleeman, who directed the club the first semester, resigned, and Mr. Willming was given charge. The club participated in the annual concert presented by the music department. [43] Director—D. R.

The club appeared in the concert given by the music department in March. [44] DEBATE TEAMS Ernest Perlich Aline Bellevue Robert Hulsen Morton Ferguson Alvin Farber Helene Gaumer Coach—Mr. John Stevens The question for debate this year was: Resolved, that the United States should cease to protect by force of arms private capital interested in foreign lands except after a formal declaration of war. The affirmative team consisted of Aline Bellevue, Robert Hulsen and Morton Ferguson, captain. The negative team was composed of Helene Gaumer, Ernest Perlich and Alvin Farber. Ernest Perlich was captain. The individuals spoke in the order listed. Debate this year under the competent coaching supervision of John W. Stevens inaugurated a new and good improvement, it being the organization of a debate class wherein debate fundamentals were discussed. A non-decision debate was held between East Moline and Geneseo on March 7. On March 14 the Rock Island affirmative team traveled here and defeated our negative team. Professor Lambertson of the University of Iowa was the judge. The following Monday, March 17, our affirmative team lost to Moline at Moline. Professor Beard, also of Iowa University, was the judge. 14b} GIRLS’ DECLAMATION TEAMS Ramona Allen Betty Baker Beatrice Buckler Dorothy Swanson Beth Ferguson Aline Bellevue Coach—Miss Marie Eckerman East Moline’s reputation in declamation is growing better each year. Instead of placing third as we did last year in the triangular contests with Rock Island and Moline, we tied with Rock Island for second place. East Moline was ably represented at Moline by Ramona Allen, Beatrice Buckler, and Beth Ferguson. Those who competed with Rock Island in our auditorium were Aline Bellevue, Dorothy Swanson, and Betty Baker. Ramona Allen carried our banner to the Big Nine Contest at Geneseo. Ramona was chosen for this honor by reason of her winning first place in our local contest. She read “Lilac Time.” Rock Island placed first; Moline, second; Kewanee, third; and East Moline ranked fourth. r 46] BOYS’ DECLAMATION TEAMS Ernest Perlich Robert Hulsen Morton Ferguson Alvin Farber Clifford Cathcart Eldon Fisher Coach—Miss Marie Eckerman The boys upheld our honor by tying with Rock Island for second place in the triangular contests held with Rock Island and Moline. Moline placed first. Robert Hulsen. Eldon Fisher, and Clifford Cathcart competed with Rock Island here. Ernest Perlich, Morton Ferguson, and Alvin Farber represented East Moline at Moline. Ernest Perlich went to Moline to represent East Moline in the Big Nine Contests. Ernest was chosen as representative because he received the highest score in the contests. He read “The Bishop’s Candlesticks.” Gene-seo placed first; Rock Island, second; Moline, third; and East Moline was fourth. -J Mills' THE SKYLINE OFFICERS Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Faculty Advisers Morton Ferguson J.

The name “Skyline” was selected, and the staff was organized, with Morton Ferguson as editor-in-chief and J. C. Dralle as business manager. The staff has been working diligently under the leadership of the advisers, Miss Clara Carlson and Miss Flora Cox. The Skyline will be quite a large expense, the approximate cost beiner one thousand dollars. This is the first annual to be published in our school since 1917. and we hope that the publication of a year book will not be discontinue, but that it will be carried on by the succeeding classes and thus keep alive the traditions of our school.

C. Dralle as editor-in-chief, news editor and business manager, respectively, of the Key. The other members of the staff were chosen by the board of control which consists of Superintendent Lee O. Dawson, Mr. Hainline, Mr. John W. Stevens and Miss Clara Carlson. The board of control chose the following staff from the group which tried out for places: Aline Bellevue, humor editor; Donald Leonhard, sports editor; Irene Murray, feature editor; Phyllis Morris, literary editor; Claretta Brissman, Jennie Teros and Lorene Mansell, department editors; Jack Matthews, advertising manager; Beulah Wildermuth, circulation manager; Eldon Fisher, William Ferguson, Lois Carlson and Orpha Case, reporters, and Elvera Lundeen and Dorothy McLain, typists. The Key is published by the Senior Class and is printed in the high school print shop. It was first published by the class of 1924, and since that time it has grown in both quality and circulation. The Key contains news of all school activities and brings to students knowledge of their teachers, classmates, entertainments, victories and defeats. It is a welcome guest in every home and is read not only by the students but also by the business men of the city, as well. This year the staff has added new departments and many new features have been offered. Miss Clara Carlson, who is adviser of student publications, advises and aids the staff in its work and it is only through her earnest endeavor and her fine counsel that The Key is made a reality rather than a dream. |J [51] Donald Leonhard William Ferguson Helene Gaumer Thomas Sims Katherine Galag An essay contest on “Edison and His Services to Mankind” was held throughout the tri-cities this year. The judges in the contest of the East Moline schools were E. A. Soule, Ray I. Klingbiel and S. E. Long. Five of the six winners were from East Moline High School. From the twelfth and eleventh grades two juniors and one senior placed, Helene Gaumer, junior, was awarded first prize; William Ferguson, junior, placed second, and Donald Leonhard, senior, placed third. Gold medals were awarded to those achieving highest honors. From the ninth and tenth grades two sophomores won, Thomas Sims ranking first and Katherine Galag, second. Silver medals were presented to those winning the second places and bronze medals to those winning third places. A large bronze plaque, which is displayed in the group above, was presented to the high school by the Peoples Power Company.

Sylvia Dick Faculty Adviser Miss Claribel Fehrman The purpose of the Girls’ Hi-Y Club is to unite its members in a spirit of friendliness and service, to win other girls to its membership, and to stand for the best things at home, in school, at work, in church, community, and to do all possible for the advancement of the school. The Club was organized in 1922 by seventy-five girls, and was only open to girls of the upper classes. In 1928, two amendments were added to the Constitution. One provided that every high school girl is eligible for membership, the dues to be twenty-five cents a year, and the other that on the third Wednesday of each month a regular business meeting, followed by a social hour, be held. The Club is governed by a Cabinet consisting of the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, chairmen of all standing committees, and a faculty adviser. This serves as a general advising body for the club. In 1928, they purchased mirrors for the Girls’ Rest Room. This year, 1930, the Club has adopted pins. The Club now has a membership of about one hundred. Under Miss Claribel Fehrman, who has been sponsor for the past two years, this organization has done much useful work. COMMERCIAL CLUB McLain Hunter Gainey OFFICERS President Dorothy McLain Vice President Alice Hunter Secretary and Treasurer Catherine Gainey Faculty Advisers Miss Gladys Gadberry and Miss Flora Cox The purpose of this organization is to develop interest in commercial education. In 1927, under Miss Gadberry, the Commercial Club was organized. Alma Gordon was elected president; Vivian Nicholson, vice president; Marjory Swanson, secretary; and Leota Bclowski, treasurer. In 1928, the “Kommercial Klub Konglomerator” was founded for the purpose of editing Commercial Club news. In 1929, the Club adopted pins. These are small orange and black C’s. The Club sponsored a movie at the Strand theater in March. This was to help finance the contests in which they are entered. The Club also plans to give a banquet in May. All students taking commercial subjects are eligible to join the Club. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month. At these meetings, the contests they are entered in are discussed, typing awards are given, the “Kommercial Konglomerator” is read and business matters of the Club are attended to.

Aline Bellevue Faculty Advisers—Miss Emma Mae Smith and Miss Dorothy Calvert This year the girls organized an athletic association which has joined the Illinois State Girls’ Athletic Association. The purpose of the Club is to interest all high school girls in healthful athletic activity, and to promote a spirit of good sportsmanship. To be eligible for membership each girl must average at least one hundred points a year, and must pay twenty-five cents a year as dues. Points are earned either by the keeping of training rules, or the participation in sports. There are four awards which may be won. Two local awards —six-hundred and twelve-hundred points; and two state awards—sixteen-hundred and two-thousand points. The following awards were given: Second state emblem—Barbara Black, Olivia Bloeser, Dorothy McLain and Dorothy Swanson. First state award—Aline Bellevue, Alma Fratzke and Phoebe Ann Adams.

First local award—Darlene Brady, Marion Chidester, Sylvia Dick, Mayme Ding-man, Ruth Duncan, Nina Hodge, Stella McCleary, Agnes Reps, Frances Smith, Jennie Teros, Irene Vermeersch and Blanche Witte. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month. All business pertaining to the association is then placed before the members. Good programs are presented by various members, and then delightful refreshments are served. [57] The Junior play, “The Goose Hangs High,’’ was given on February 14, at the John Deere auditorium . It is a three-act farce by Lewis Beach and the scene is laid in an old-fashioned house. The plot is one of interest because it shows how a modern family adapts itself to odd and difficult circumstances. MARIE ECKKRMAN Coach Ramona Allen and Robert Hulsen, playing as the mother and father, created the right home atmosphere. Dora King and Milo Gregson portrayed the modern but sincere college youth. Helene Gaumer was the grandmother who disapproved of the actions of her grandchildren and invariably told them so. The love element was introduced by Blanche Witte and William Van Vliet. All minor parts were exceptionally well handled.

C. Dralle Elvera Lundeen John W. Stevens The National Thespians is a national honor society in high school dramatics in which any Senior High School of recognized standing is eligible to membership. The E. M. H. S. dramatic department under the direction of Mr. John W. Stevens became a member of the organization in 1929, and the interest in dramatics has increased since that time. The purpose of the organization is to make possible the more effective production of plays at a lower cost, and to develop enthusiasm in high school dramatics. In order to become a member of the local troupe of National Thespians the student must be a regularly enrolled pupil, of satisfactory scholarship, who has played with merit in a major role of one long play, or two one-act plays staged by the institution, or has done work of such quality in the department as to be approved eligible by the director for membership. The E. M. H. S. troupe has the following members: Darrell Barritt, J. C. Dralle, Elvera Lundeen, Ernest Perlich, Dorothy Swanson, Douglas Tressel, Morton Ferguson, Helen Gaumer, Robert Hulsen, Ramona Allen, William Van Vliete, Dora King, Milo Gregson and Blanche Witte.

His keen handling of money matters, and his wise scheduling of games made him an ideal manager. Claire McCreight proved his capability in his second year here by coaching a successful basketball team and building a fine track team. His fine record here and his personality made him a friend of all. Mr. Sangster turned out the strongest football teams this school has ever seen. He has made an enviable record in every school he has attended and surely lived up to expectations here. Mr. Ingalls, fine in every sport, proved a most excellent assistant coach, and we hope he will be a member of our regular staff next year. [63 J OUR CHEER LEADERS ELDON FISHER Little “Bud” proved his power by leading the student body through two successful seasons of yelling. His small stature and clever antics found great approval with the crowds, and all gave him their full support. He will be with us again next year. Alma, although a new student here, was another junior who aided “Bud” in the cheering section. Her “Are you with me?” always brought the wholehearted response of every cheerer. Her vivaciousness and pep added to her popularity and made her a fit running mate for our “Bud.” ALMA FRATZKE t x itfW FOOTBALL SQUAD CAPTAIN HAROLD HULL, fullback “Hubbs” captained the strongest team ever turned out by the Hilltoppers. His strong offensive and defensive playing, coupled with his ability to gain a needed yard or two whenever called upon, made him the logical captain for the team. He will be a hard man to replace next year. OSCAR ALLEN, end Allen came to us in his junior year, and soon showed the school that he could play football. He was, without a doubt, the hardest fighter on the field and, despite injury, played until the finish. He never quit and he never was as discouraged as when we lost a game. ANDREW ANDERSON, halfback Although sometimes handicapped by scholastic difficulties, “Andy” always stuck with the squad. He was one of the shiftiest men ever seen in a backfield and it was nothing for him to reel off forty yards at a time. This was his last year. [05] LLOYD BRYAN, tackle A letterman for three years, Bryan fought hard in every game, and it was but few plays that ever came through his side of the line. His battling made him a valuable player, and his fight would buck up the entire team. LAWRENCE COOK, guard “Larry’s” 240 pounds made him a veritable giant in our line. He opened up holes big enough for a truck to drive through and could hold like a stone wall. He alternated at guard and center with Teros, and played a strong, consistent game in either position. LEE GRIFFIN, tackle Griffin is another sophomore who was a varsity member this last year. He was a battler, and always made a good account of himself in every game. He should make a powerful man the next two years. [6«1 CHARLES HOFF, halfback Hoff played a fine game the whole season, and was a consistent ground-gainer. He was very speedy, and often uncorked long runs. He will be a valuable player next season. LESTER LUNDEEN, guard “Les” is one more player with two years of football still before him. He never shirked in a game, and could be depended upon to do his part in every play. GEORGE M ASK ELL, halfback George was always a clever ball handler and seemed never to be outwitted. He starred on defense, and was the best punter on the squad, few besides him ever kicking in a game. The school loses a good man in George. [07] JACK MATTHEWS, end “Jake” was always in the fight, and was a hard man to get around. His ability to snag passes resulted in more than one touchdown, and he was often the first man down on a punt. He graduates next June. DONALI) SMITH, end “Smitty” alternated with Jack at end. His Iankiness enabled him to scoop passes out of the air, while his long arms were useful in dragging down the opposition. He has another year with the school. COSTOS TEROS, center Gus was another huge member of our strong team. It took three opponents to down Gus, and even then he would sometimes reach up and stop the ball carrier as he came through. He, too, is a junior, and will help make next year’s team a successful one. [08] LAWRENCE VANDER BKKE, quarterback Although only a sophomore, “Lorney” showed his ability and field generalship by calling signals nearly every minute of every game. He was one of the hardest fighters on the squad, and should make a strong bid for tri-city honors in the next two years. ALBERT LUM, halfback Although not a regular for the whole season, “Al” made the opponents aware of his presence by his smashing tackles and his clever ball-handling. His pluckiness will be a valuable aid to the team next year. DANIEL TROGDON. tackle As substitute tackle, “Dan” almost always outplayed his opponents in his desire to make good. He played the game hard and clean, and should be congratulated on his fine work. He graduates in the spring. ruin EUGENE HANDLEY “Gene” is another hard fighter lost by graduation. He went out for the first time his senior year, and played a marvelous game to win a varsity letter. He shone best at defense, and his 190 pounds made him versatile.

[TO] BASKETBALL SQUAD REGULARS Don Smith Center Don Leonhard Center Jack Matthews Right Forward Charles Hoff Right Forward Charles Filbert Left Forward Carmelius Arcabascio Left Forward Gilman Lundeen Right Guard George Masked Right Guard Lester Lundeen Left Guard Finley Drury Left Guard RESERVES Hardy Gregson McCreight Gaumer Mitchell Carpentier Teros Vander Beke Hakeman Peterson Archibald Griffin [71] DONALD SMITH, center “Smitty” always played a consistent game. He was high point man of the squad and one of the highest scorers in the quad cities. His splendid game caused him to be acting captain for the majority of the games. He will lead our team next year. GILMAN LUNDEEN, guard “Gil” was without a doubt the finest guard on the floor during the entire season. His man seldom made a basket, and he often took the ball from the bankboard. His shooting was excellent and his playing was hard, but always clean. He graduates this year, and the team loses a fine man. JACK MATTHEWS, forward “Jack” played a fine game as forward. His dribbling was very fine, and he was especially deadly on set-ups and short shots. He was clever at handling the ball, and never failed in a pinch. He, too, graduates in June. [72] f CHARLES FILBERT, forward “Chuck” also played a fine game the whole season. Although he didn’t excel in any one thing, he was good in all, and one was always sure of several points a game from him. He will be a senior next year, and will aid in the building of a better team. CHARLES HOFF, forward Hoff is another junior who is strong on the floor. His shooting was surpassed by no one, and his long shots from the center zone seemed to always swish the net. He makes the third junior in the front line of the squad to aid us next year. LESTER LUNDEEN, guard “Les” was only a sophomore this year, but his splendid guarding forced out others to make room for him. He was one of the cleverest ball-handlers on the court at any time, and his work will help keep our opponents from scoring.

[74] TRACK SQUAD OF 1929 HOFF SMITH TEROS Due to the fact that the Skyline was not planned until last fall, only those members of last year’s track team still in school were able to get their pictures in this copy of the annual. The leaders of last year’s team who have since graduated are Captain Boyle, Stephen Kudryk and James Whitney. The season was quite successful. The boys made points in the Augustana meet, the Big Nine meet, the State Sectional meet, and won in a dual meet with St. Ambrose Academy of Davenport. With a spelndid opportunity for high scoring honors in the Big Nine meet, a muddy track stopped our speedsters, the mud-plowers winning the events. ' fcyjv] ' PFAU SMITH LUM Although but one letterman, Charles Hoff, has returned, we can expect a strong squad with those members pictured to uphold the major portion of the events for this season. Other probable members of the 1930 team are as follows: C Cady Cathcart Garcia Ferguson From Hettinger Gudge Gustafson Little Heimes Kroule Morgan McCreight Mitchell Rounsaville Oltman E.

It was the day when his family was due to arrive from Vermont; the wife and children whom he had not seen for a year; amongst them the infant son born a few months after John Deere had left Vermont to seek fortune in the West. Since 10 o’clock in the morning, wagons had been arriving from the East. Some stopped; some pressed on toward the Mississippi; others branched off on trails leading Northwest and Southwest; none had carried those for whom the young blacksmith so eagerly looked. He was ready for his family—ready to give them a future greater than any of which they had dreamed. With his own hands he had built a comfortable home. Far and wide, among farmers and mill men, he had established a high reputation as a blacksmith. But that which drew his dreams ahead was the steel plow which he had invented. He knew he was in the midst of immense soil resources to which his steel plow was the key. � A small train of ox-drawn wagons toiled slowly into the town and stopped in front of the general store. From the lead wagon a woman, carefully holding a little bundle, climbed down. “Here, John, take your son,” she said, as she returned the joyful greeting of the tall man who had hurried to meet her. “I’ve carried him in my arms all the way from Vermont.” � All the way from Vermont! Across country by stage coach to Albany, New York; by canal boat to Buffalo; by lake boat up around the Michigan peninsula and down to Chicago; by ox-wagon, camping gypsy-style along the pioneer trail, west-ward from Chicago to the new home — a wearisome, dangerous journey of weeks and weeks. That was the pioneer spirit—the spirit that led men and women from comfortable homes out into the wilderness to combat hardships unfamiliar to the present generation—the spirit which conquered the West—the spirit which the development of John Deere’s pioneer farm equipment enterprise helped greatly to reward.
