Faculty L. O. DAWSON Superintendent Two years ago Mr. Dawson came to East Moline to take charge of his duties as superintendent of our high school. During the short time he has been with us, we have become well acquainted with him, and have become aware of his many sterling qualities.

The older residents of East Moline will readily recall that before the year of 1916, the high school, and the grade school were located in one building—the present Lincoln school. Many are the students who have graduated from that high school, but those days have vanished forever. For the proud citizens of East Moline, it was a great day, when they learned that a new high school was to be erected on the crest of Thirteenth Street Hill. This school, which is part of the present building was built in 1915, and for several years had adequate room to accommodate all the students who enrolled. But, then, because of the rapid growth of the city, an annex was necessary in order to provide room for a manual arts department, which was greatly needed. However, in a few years this too was insufficient for our needs; consequently in 1924 another addition, containing history, printing and commercial departments, was built. Although these additions are fairly large, they are humbled by the vast new addition erected last year. This new part with all its wonderful equipment, and costing over $200,000, supplies adequate room for our rapidly growing school, and makes our high school one of the finest in this vicinity. Along with this new structure we added more help and many new courses. Each year we have added several new teachers to our staff. This year we have one new teacher, and several others who left to seek new fields were replaced. Because we have twice as much room this year the janitorial staff had to be increased; and our cafeteria, being much larger this year, commanded additional help in the form of a new cook. These helpers have proved themselves capable and efficient in their work. In the preceding years there has been a great demand for new courses. This year we have six new courses from which to choose. All of them are in great demand. We have added to our list of courses, Biology, French, Community Civics, Vocational Civics and World History. We feel that our school is modern in every respect, vying with the other schools in our community for leading honors.

The officers chosen were Robert Smith, president; Charles Filbert, vice president, and Hilda Wright, secretary and treasurer. Sponsors of the class were Mr. Hainline and Miss Washburn. During this year members of the class participated in the glee club, band and orchestra. The boys’ interclass basketball tournament was won by the Freshmen. In addition to these activities several social gatherings were held. During the Sophomore year Miss Eckerman and Mr. Rozeboom proved to be excellent sponsors. Bud Bisher, Charles Filbert and Helene Gaumer served as officers of the class. The members of the class continued their fine work in the music and literary departments, aiding materially in the production of the operetta, “Miss Cherry Blossom.” The most outstanding event of the year was the party, at which the Sophs entertained the Freshies. The boys were again victorious in the interclass tourney. In the Junior year, the class of ’31 extended its activities into every field under the able direction of Miss Calvert and Mr. McCreight as sponsors, and Ramona Allen, Donald Smith and Charles Filbert as class officers. Juniors were prominent on the football squad, the basketball squad, and in track. They were also taking their responsibilties in music, literary and commercial activities. The Big Nine representatives for boys’ and girls’ declamation, and for extempo were Juniors. The class was also represented on the debate teams, and in shorthand contests. The Junior play, “The Goose Hangs High,” was a huge success. Two members of the class placed in the Edison Essay Contest. The leading social event was the elaborate Junior-Senior banquet held at the Fort Armstrong Hotel. The Senior year of the class of ’31 was the greatest of the four years. All the members of the debate teams were Seniors. Winners of the first three places in the declamatory contests and the boys competing in the oratorical contests were from this class. In football, eleven Seniors earned letters, and three Seniors served as regulars on the basketball team. “The Key,” the school paper, and the “1931 Skyline” were made possible by the Senior class, with noble aid from the class of ’32. “The House of a Thousand Thrills,” the Senior play, was very successful. The class of ’31 was again active in music, helping to present the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover.” This year’s graduation class was sponsored by Miss Eckerman and Mr. Stevens. The class officers were Charles Filbert, Catharine Gainey and Donald Smith.

Unaccustomed as we were to our new surroundings and awed by the knowledge and dignity of the older and better-trained soldiers, however, we soon found our places in the daily routine. We were enlisted into the social life of the camp by the annual party given each year for the new recruits by the corporals, the Sophomores. The aides for our first year were Miss Wells and Mr. Mc-Creight, and our leaders were Captain Lawrence Vander Beke, First Lieutenant Grace Eleanor Baker and Second Lieutenant Betty Evans. The second year all in our regiment were promoted to the rank of corporals. Our aides for this year were Miss McNutt and Mr. Finfgeld, and our guides, Captain Irving Suss, First Lieutenant Mabel Jones and Second Lieutenant Jean Leonhard. We, in our turn, gave this year’s new recruits a party in the old East Moline High School mess hall. This year we have advanced to the rank of sergeants. Our aides are Miss Blatterman and Mr. Pierson. We have chosen to lead our division this year, Captain Lawrence Vander Beke, First Lieutenant Thomas Sims and Second Lieutenants Mariann Dormady and Lloyd Carlson. By this time we have entered fully into the spirit of army life and all of its activities. Our greatest donation to the entertainment of the “camp” was the play, “The Poor Nut,” which is said to be one of the best ever put on by a regiment such as ours. We were well represented in football and basketball, having several men on both varsity squads. As for musical activities, we certainly were active, for didn’t we furnish the feminine lead for the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover?” Besides that we had many students in the band, orchestra and glee clubs. We sergeants also put on a vigorous magazine-selling campaign to secure funds to carry out the annual Junior-Senior prom given each year by the sergeants in honor of the lieutenants who leave the army each year.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY A large group of green, bashful people invaded the building on the hill in the fall of 1929. They were led by their advisers, Miss Shoemaker and Mr. Ingalls. The Freshmen elected some of the braver members of the class to work with the advisers. Those chosen were Omer Tressel, president; Lucille Ferman, vice president; and Edwin Anderson, secretary-treasurer. On account of the timidness of this group the only social event in which they participated was the party held early in the year which the Sophomores gave in honor of the new class. This year this group of people is led by Miss Trulock and Mr. Pratt, assisted by Joe Stevens, Harold McCreight and Fred Sackrider. In the fall they entertained the Freshmen at a party held in the gymnasium. The class is well represented in the high school activities, for many have participated in athletics, music and declamation. Four of their stalwart members were on the football team while five were on the basketball team. Two girls took part in the local declamation contest and one of these was a member of the team. The Sophomore class hopes to have made a name for itself and to have won much honor and glory for East Moline High School by the time it leaves the school in 1933.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1930, an army of educational recruits numbering 102 boys and 103 girls gathered from widely separated districts of Rock Island county, appeared before the doors of the United Township High School of East Moline and demanded entrance. Straight up the cinder path they came; through the devious passes of Thirteenth Street Hill and over the top of Seventh Street Hill they swarmed; and up the steep steps they climbed without even an extra heartbeat to show that their mettle had been tried. This feat was a prophecy of triumphs to come. Having already conquered the outlying districts as early as last June, they had no difficulty in entering the citadel of learning. They passed through outer doors, overran the halls and corridors, crowded the classrooms, and settled down to a four-year siege, whose ultimate purpose is the conquest of the entire realm of education. Shortly after the storming of the castle, General Stephen Georgokop-las, a skillful Greek soldier and scholar, was chosen to lead this division of the army of culture; and very soon the former adherents of John Deere, McKinley, St. Anne’s, St. Mary’s, together withh seventy-nine recruits from the non-high school district were welded into a firm band, whose first loyalty is to the United Township High School. Realizing that the success of siege warfare depends very largely on morale and health, authorities have instituted various social, cultural, recreational and athletic programs for the benefit of the troops. In all these programs. Troop ’34 has made a good record. In the intelligence tests they made the high average score of 104, and on the honor roll for straight shooting and hitting the bull’s eye in tarket practice, they have captured more places than any other troop. The good opinion formed on September 8, seems to have been justified. On, ’34! The world is yours if you have the power to win it. Thirl tpfict Top Row (ieori okoitlas. Carson. Maddelein. Martin.

We’re proud of our school and always will be. CHORUS To the Orange and Black we’ll always be true. We’ll stand by our school to the end; We’ll ever be ready to fight and to do, And a challenge to each one extend. No school can compare with our East Moline High, We tackle all contests with vim; Our banner is flung to the limitless sky, We’ll ne’er let its glory dim. (Second Verse) (For) Youth will be served for ever and aye, Our spirit of loyalty never can die; We’re conquerors all in the contests of life, Each ready to meet with success or with strike.

Organizations Gaumer Falberg King DECLAMATION This year, as in previous years, East Moline selected her declamation team at a public presentation of the contestants. The team chosen consisted of Helene Gaumer, Gladys Falberg, Dora King, Alice Johnson, Beth Ferguson and Maxine Sellers. The team defeated Moline but lost to Rock Island, thereby receiving second place in the triangular meet. At the Big Nine Declamation contest held at Galesburg, Helene Gaumer, reading “The Brink of Silence,” placed fifth. Rock Island placed first; Moline, second; Galesburg, third; and Princeton, fourth. Readings of the team: Helene Gaumer Gladys Falberg Dora King Alice Johnson Beth Ferguson Maxine Sellers “The Brink of Silence” “The Show Must Go On” “Eyes of the Blind” “Yellow Butterflies” “David’s Star of Bethlehem” “How the LaRue Stakes Were Lost” Johnson Ferguson Sellers Fort h Ferguson Gaumer Techlin DEBATE The question for debate this year was: Resolved, That the recent tendencies in installment buying, as developed in the United States, should be abolished. The affirmative team was composed of Helene Gaumer, captain; William Ferguson: and Raymond Techlin, alternate. The negative team was composed of Bob Hulsen, captain; Eldon Fisher; and Kenneth Carr, alternate. The teams received first place at the triangular meet, defeating both Rock Island and Moline. The East Moline teams then engaged in debates with the winners of the other two triangles of the Big Nine—namely, Galeburg and Geneseo. In the Big Nine finals, each of the three schools had one victory and one defeat. Thus in order to determine the winner, scores were counted. As a result, Galesburg placed first with a score of 185, Geneseo second with a score of 184, and East Moline third with a score of 183. This activity is under the supervision of Mr. Stevens. Fisher Hulsen Carr FortU-ont Ferguson Fisher Carr Hulsen ORATORY Last year the directors of the Eisr Nine League decided that an oratorical contest should be held instead of the usual boys’ declamation contest. Our Big Nine representative in the contest was chosen from a group of four boys—namely, Kenneth Carr, Bud Fisher, William Ferguson and Robert Hulsen. These boys gave their orations before the school assembly at which time Robert Hulsen was chosen. If East Moline High School’s orators keep up the standard of oration set before them this year, she will have little to fear along this line. Robert Hulsen, delivering the oration “National Apostacy’’ at the Big Nine meet, received second place, Geneseo placing first by a narrow margin. Miss Marie Eckerman proved an excellent coach of this activity and her efforts are greatly appreciated. Fort fi-t wo Robert Hulsen EXTEMPORE Many bright, ambitious, would-be extemporaneous speakers enrolled with Mr. Stevens when the first call was given. Mr. Stevens, through process of elimination, finally selected Bud Bisher, Robert Ilulsen. and Helene Gaumer to try out for our Big Nine representatives. Through this process Robert Hulsen was chosen as our Big Nine representative and he placed second in the contest which was held in East Moline on April 24. He talked on “Russia.” Robert also represented us last year at the Big Nine conference, at that time placing fourth. In the Big Nine contest after each speaker is given a topic from a recent issue of the Literary Digest, a piece of paper, and a pencil, he is locked in a room for one hour. He must in this time compose his speech without any books or any assistance but his own brain. Galesburg placed first; East Moline second, and Rock Island third. Mr. Stevens, who has charge of extempore, deserves praise for his patience as well as his instruction of the speaker. He has done a great deal to create interest in extemporaneous speaking. 'W SENIOR PLAY The Senior play, “The House of a Thousand Thrills,” a three-act mystery play by Leslie Chadwick Browning, was given March 21, at the John Deere auditorium under the direction of Miss Eckerman. Mysterious noises, cut wires, secret passages, ghosts, sickening incense, and an emerald necklace bearing a curse made this play unusually mysterious. In a plot of her cousin’s captor to rob her grandmother, Mona Carlton pretends she is someone else in order that she might pose as herself in her own home. In doing this she solves the riddle of the mysterious happenings in her home and secures the rescue of her cousin upon whom the captor, strongly resembling Ronnie, intends to pin the crime of his theft. The threads of the plot are finally untangled to the relief of all—or practically all—of the household. Serena and Agnes are given money and sent on their way. Ronnie, the real Ronnie, is to be released. Wedding bells are to ring for Emily Temple and Arden; and for Mona Carlton and Paul D’Albert.

The play was directed by Miss Eckerman. The various events in the day solve the question of just what happened when Julia Winters meets John Miller, who has an inferiority complex, and starts reforming him. It concerns also the young lady, Marjorie Blake, the girl who always understands, and shows how she helped win the track meet. Together with all this is a cactus plant, a fraternity, and last but not least, the track meet. All parts were exceptionally well handled and the play proved a tremendous success.

The first act shows Ambrose Applejack, a middle-aged English gentleman beset by strange visitors in his ancestral home. These visitors are Anna Voleska and Ivan Borolsky, Russian spies, and Mr. and Mrs. Pengard. In the second act Ambrose has a strange dream in which he sees the characters transformed into the crew of old Captain Applejack’s pirate ship. The characters arrive in costumes and dress of that period, presenting a realistic and fearsome-looking group. The third act solves the mystery of the strange happenings. Borolsky. Anna Voleska, and the Pengards are London thieves who are attempting to rob the treasure hidden in the house. Ambrose, under the influence of his recent dream, foils the attempts of the marauders, saving the treasure for himself and for the rest of the household.

The girls felt that through this connection with other girls they could do greater things for their organization and for themselves. Instead of having a social hour after each regular meeting held after school the third Wednesday of each month, the girls have enjoyed several parties in the evening. The first event was in the form of a “Kid Party.” The next social affairs were a Christmas party and a Valentine party. Now the club is making plans for a breakfast to be given as a farewell to the senior girls. In order to raise money to pay for the general expenses of the club, the girls sponsored the motion picture, “Song of My Heart,” at the Strand theater, sold “Beat Monmouth” tags Homecoming Day, and sold hot dogs at some of the football games. Five members attended the River Valley Conference held at Muscatine, Iowa, in April. The representatives of the various groups discussed finance, membership, and other subjects of interest to the organization. The club plans to send a delegate to the Girl Reserve camp at Lake Okobojii, Iowa, the expenses of the delegate to be paid by the local chapter. The progress of the club and the success of all its undertakings are largely due to the interest and the kindly guidance of the advisers, Miss Fehrman and Miss Shoemaker.

These Junior members were added because additional help was needed in order to successfully put out an annual. This training will also be very valuable to these members in publishing the 1932 “Skyline.” Had it not been for the wonderful cooperation of each member of the staff and the aid of our advisers, it would have been much more difficult to publish our annual.

The band has announced many of our assemblies and pep meetings; it spurred us on at football and at basketball games. The band played several numbers at the Annual Musicale, given February 24. Much of the success of this organization we owe to the efforts and encouragement of its director. Mr. Willming. PERSONNEL Trum pets Saxophones H. Mitchell L. Vander Beke B. Lavine F. Argenbright R.

This proved to be so successful an arrangement that it was continued this year. The members of the Girls’ Glee Club meet every Monday and Wednesday morning. The club participated in the Annual Musicale held February 24, and in the operetta. “The Gypsy Rover,” which was given in May. The girls have also enjoyed several informal parties during the year. The club under Mr. Willming, the director, has become one of the outstanding girls’ organizations in the school. PERSONNEL First Soprano Second Soprano Altos C. Bensenberg F. Argenbright G. Baker B.

President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Konglomerator Editor Miss Ferro Advisers Mr. Hill The Commercial Club was organized with the help of Miss Gladys Gad-berry in 1927. The purpose of this organization is to develop more interest in commercial education and to send representatives to the contests. All students taking one or more commercial subjects are eligible to join. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month. This club has proved to be an active group this year, having presented a Frolic in the fall and having sponsored the movie, “Hell’s Angels,” this spring. The club plans to send delegates to the contests, and, if luck is with them, to send delegates to the state contest as it did last year.

The East Moline Beginning Shorthand, or Sixty-Word Team, placed second in the state contest. The team, composed of Carmen Frey, Florence Hynd, Margaret Evans, and Sylvia Dick, after placing first at the district contest at Rock Island and first at the sectional contest at Kewanee, went to the state contest at Normal. Our team tied with Olney for second place with a team average of 98 per cent, Champaign placing first with 98.5 per cent. The advanced typewriting, the one hundred-word shorthand, and the bookkeeping team did not enter the sectional although they were eligible, each team having placed second in the district contest. Much credit for the success of the team is due the instructors, Miss Cox, who was in charge of the beginning shorthand team; Miss Gadberry, who was in charge of the advanced typing and shorthand teams; and Mr. Neyman, who was in charge of the bookkeeping teams.

HOLMES Coach Mr. Holmes, former Knox college star, finished his first year here by building a hard, fighting team—a team built from rough, green material—a team which fought to win —a team of which the school and city boasts. Mr. Holmes established friendship, loyalty and sportsmanship, and he helped to build the foundation for East Moline sports.

This custom was introduced by Coach Holmes, who believes that a better selection of a captain may be made after the season than before it. For after all, this is an honorary position, and the person most entitled to it should be given the honor. i;imcs of (lie Season MOLINE Moline—first game—night—Browning Field—first night game in Mid-dlewest—Moline outweighed us—fifteen pounds per man—Moline scored first touchdown—East Moline came back with fight, pep—enthusiasm— Moline scored again—Orange showed more fight—better spirit—third quarter—ball on fifteen-yard line—worked it to the fourth—in good scoring position—third down—overtime in huddle penalized five yards—gang discouraged—couldn’t push ball over—Moline scored once more on line smashed by superior weight—our line bucked—fought—scrambled— pushed back—final score Moline 18—East Moline 0.

Because of his exceptionally fine spirit and sportsmanship, Les Lundeen, quad-city and district tournament guard, was elected captain of the 1931-32 basketball team.

DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The district tournament, a fitting climax to any team’s schedule, was sponsored by Rock Island High School at the Moline Field House March 4, 5 and 6. Pre-game favorites were Moline, Orion, Rock Island. ROCK ISLAND By virtue of their victory over East Moline earlier in the season, Rock Island was the favorite in the first-round battle of the Orange-Crimson conflict. The trio composed of Hoff, Filbert and Lundeen placed us in the lead early in the struggle and a powerful defense prevented Rock Island scoring. At the final gun the score was 19-16, putting East Moline into tournament competition. ERIE The Erie varsity fell gamely before a consistent Orange attack Friday evening by a 22-19 score. East Moline was ready for its first semi-finals. JOY Saturday afternoon the high-scoring Joy quintet fell at the hands of East Moline in a hard-fought battle decided only in the third quarter. Finals are coming for the Orange. MOLINE East Moline High School entered its first finals in a district tournament by leading the tired Moline team a chase which ended with only the hand of Fate deciding the victor. Moline lead at the quarter by a 5-4 score; at the half, 10-6. The long shots of the Orange were falling short by inches, and many a shot looking perfect would swirl out to be lost. The last half revealed a last minute rally which was unable to secure the needed points for a victory. The final score was 22-11 in favor of Moline. Thus East Moline High School stepped into athletic competition to establish a foundation for sportsmanship and ability. Sc ven tv-three Top Row—Coach MeCreight, Tcro . Ferguson, Hoff. Smith, Drum.

Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Sylvia Dick Mabel Jones Marion Chidester Advisers and Coaches Miss Calvert Miss Smith This year the Girls’ Athletic Association of our high school joined the Illinois League of High School Girls’ Athletic Association. In order to he a member of the organization each girl must pay dues and make one hundred points during the school year. Points may be earned in participating m school sports, by keeping health training rules, and by participating in unorganized athletic events. Local and state awards are given to individuals earning six hundred, twelve hundred, sixteen hundred and two thousand points. The first venture of the club this year was the sponsoring of the motion picture, “Along Came Youth.” This was a great success as was the carnival given on March 13. Profits from these activities were used to buy new basketballs and to pay for general expenses incurred during the year. The club meets once a month at which time a program is given. Due to the sympathetic help and the kindly efforts of the two advisers and coaches, Miss Smith and Miss Calvert, the organization has accomplished much this year. Top Row—Cox, HfMand.

The girls played volleyball in the fall and at the end of the season, the latter part of November, an inter-class volley ball tournament was held from which the Senior girls emerged victorious, closely followed by the Sophomores. The Juniors were defeated in two games, and the Freshmen lost all three of the games in which they played. In the track meet held last spring the Junior and Sophomore girls, participating individually, tied for leading honors; the Freshmen were only two points behind, and the graduates placed last because of their lack of entries.

SENIORS The senior girls lived in high hopes of taking the tournament this year. They defeated a racy Senior team last year and lost their Sophomore championship by only one point. However, their luck changed, and they were forced to bow to the Sophs. In spite of their defeat, their playing was a credit to the class. JUNIORS The Juniors pictured here were a battling team demanding no mean consideration. They led the seniors, their practice opponents, a merry chase all season. Although the girls ended third in the inter-class tourney, they put up the honest effort of true sportsmanship. Scccnty-eight Top Row Hakeinan. Moody, DeDoncker, Cunninyhani, Garritt, Allen.

This ability will serve the Sophs well in their ensuing tourneys. FRESHMEN Inexperience was shown in the Frosh team, but their teamwork was superior to much of that demonstrated by the upper-classes.

The sportsmanship of the school was ably demonstrated by booming yells and the undying spirit which followed the Orange through its victories, its defeats, its trials and its troubles. The school exhibited some very excellent cheering. Since both Alma and Bud are Seniors a call was made for volunteers to practice cheering under the direction of Mr. Pierson. Many students showed an interest and from these volunteers the following aspirants were chosen: Gaylord Martin, Eleanor Angel, Margaret Vander Beke, Elizabeth Madde-lein, Armenta Wright, Byron Stee, Howard Brainard and Bernice Hager-man. This group of cheer leaders gave demonstrations and lead yells at the basketball games. They appeared at the games, dressed in white duck trousers and orange Pep shirts. The Pep Squad, composed of thirty-two girls, eight from each class, also helped with the cheering at the games. Each member was required to attend the games, and to wear a black skirt and an orange Pep shirt. K� Uk 11 Long ago—in our school—one or two graduates—out to meet life— each gear.

Treasurer Secretary The Alumni Association for the year of 1930-31 chose as its officers, Clair Lundeen, president; Richard Stang, vice president; Clifford Hunter, treasurer, and Margaret Keene, secretary. These officers were chosen at a business meeting preceding the Senior-Alumni banquet last June. At a later meeting the president appointed an executive committee to carry out the business of the association during the year. Clair Lundeen serves as the chairman of this committee composed of the following members: Wilbur Hunter, Pauline Johnson, Darrell Barritt, Dorothy McLain, J. C. Dralle, Evelyn Strobbe, Mildred Lundeen, Douglas Tressel, Alice Hunter, Elvera Lundeen and Edward Schilling. h’ijfht H'tiro ACTIVITIES This year the Alumni have had many social meetings at which much good cheer was evident. The Homecoming dance, held after the football game with Monmouth, was attended by many of the Alumni as well as many of the high school students. This dance was a great success. An after Thanksgiving dance was held in the East Moline “Y” gymnasium. This dance was not as well attended as Alumni events usually are, but all who went reported an enjoyable evening. The annual High School-Alumni basketball game was held in the John Deere gymnasium. Here an array of old stars put into action some muscles which had not been used for quite some time. However, their exertions were not strenuous enough, and they were sadly defeated. In order to gain money for their social activities, the graduates sponsored the motion picture “Just Imagine” at the Strand theater. A considerable amount of money was garnered from this venture. A hard times dance was held in the high school gymnasium Friday, April 10. This dance was well attended and much hilarity was witnessed. The last social event on the 1930-31 program will be the traditional Senior-Alumni banquet, which will undoubtedly be given in true alumni fashion. At this time the alumni will close a successful season with a dance which will probably be well attended. Hiuhlu-tkree Gumm Wolvertrn Ferguson Matthews Miller Farber POST GRADUATES This year we have more post graduate students than ever before. They have come back to school to continue their education in some special work in which they wished to gain more skill. Much of their work was centered about commercial courses. One of the outstanding events in which the post graduates participated was the inter-class tournament, in which the Faculty, Post Graduates, Outlaws and Ineligibles also had teams. The post graduates defeated the Sophomores in their opening game. But in their next game, which was. with the Frosh, they let down in their speed because they believed the game was cinched, but the Frosh surprised them, running off with a 1-point victory. Those taking post graduate work are as follows: Alvin Farber, Morton Ferguson, Louis Gumm. Jack Matthews, Vince McConoughey, Lawrence Miller, Allan Rick and Thomas Wolverton. Checkers — storg-t filing — shoir hoiils, not vern exciting in this ilan of “talkies,” automobiles, atul airplanes; hut then furnished the amusements of river men.

The young clerk stirred restlessly in his bed in the general store of the pioneer village, sat upright and peered through the window. He could hear familiar voices of th? night . . . the scream of the panther from somewhere up the river . . . the startled barking of Indian dogs on the nearby reservation . . . but that which had awakened him was more insistent. It was the rythmic “whang, whang, whang, whang!” of a hammer on an anvil. Through the window of the shop across the street, outlined against the dim light within, the clerk could see the blacksmith toiling at the anvil—a giant of a man, swinging a heavy hammer unceasingly. “What a man for work!” exclaimed the clerk. All around the village, folks were talking about the blacksmith—how he had come from Vermont with only $73, and a kit of tools; how he had built a forge of clay and rock the first day of his arrival, and repaired the broken pitman shaft that was delaying important work at the saw mill; how he had stepped in and done all the iron work on the new gris-t mill, and how he was “working himself to death” over his new ideas about plows. Many folks called this blacksmith a visionary, but the young clerk watched him admiringly at his night vigil. Years later, after he, himself, had become a prominent manufacturer, this former clerk wrote: “John Deere in his early experience would make a plow and then go out to a prairie farm and give it a trial. “If the plow did not work exactly to suit him, he would bring it back, take it to pieces, change the shape of the moldboard and try it out again. “I would hear him hammering at 10 o’clock at night when I went to bed at the store, and at four o’clock in th ‘ morning his hammering would wake me up; he had such indomitable determination to work out successfully what he had in mind.” More than a clerk was awakened by the zeal of John Deere as he worked, regardless of the hour, perfecting the plow which he had invented. That which came from the hammering on his anvil awakened the agricultural wealth of a nation—the wealth which awaited the coming of the steel plow —and founded the great organization which today builds and sells John Deere quality equipment for practically every farming operation.
