Annual Staff JOHN SUTHERLAND SKENE Editor in Chief HARRY EDWARD NELSON Assistant Editor HARRISON A. RUEHE - Manager Facing The World Hump. T That is the sensation of the High School student when he faces the world. His feet, so securely grounded on the classics, he Ends about to slip from beneath him. His eyes, turned upward in pursuit of some vague and half formed ideal, seem afiiicted with a. sort of strabismus. Or else the world is wrong. Strange as it may seem, that is the true state of things. The world would really be better peering through the eyes of the man and woman fresh from college and school, better in every con- ceivable way, even as the child is pure but simple as it leaves the motherls knee. The High School student soon learns that there are no Va- cant bank presidencies. He finds in most instances that his stepping from the school into the struggle was not anticipated, not looked for, not pre- pared for, by any one except the father, and the mother, and the rest of the intimate circle. He discovers that it is up to him to begin at the bottom just like the other fellows who left school in the eighth grade or be- fore, that he is neither better nor worse now than a million oth- ers , that it is up to him just as much' as it is to the man who can- not read, or write, or appreciate. So he doffs the cap and gown for the overalls. lVork's a pleasure. Rare are those who do not find it so. The High School student is no exception and he soon thinks that his job is THE job. However, there is something different about the High School man or woman. HE ASPIRES. That is the greatest thing in life, to aspire. It means to look up with the intention of climbing up, and as long as the graduate feels that way about the matter he is a safe man for America and the world. Employers are looking for the man who aspires. The Great Employer reserves his finest rewards for those who look up, and up, ceaselessly, patiently. Mathematics is valuable discipline. 7 No man can know English without knowing Latin. German is valuable chieiiy because it opens up the German world to the student. The sciences bring men close to the heart and mind of the Creator 5 they temper one's deeds, by example they introduce order into a chaotic mind. One could give a dehnite life value to each study in the High School or in the college. But the High School has its faults. It is not what it is claimed to be: The poor man's college. It supplies a good training for the professional man and it gains a ticket to many colleges. But emphasis should be put upon the commercial branches. The great majority of High School students become housewives, clerks, what-nots in obscure but useful positions. P It is only the exception that climbs, and the exception can well look out for himself. This shows that the High School does not perhaps perform its whole duty in preparing the young man and the young woman to face the world. There is another difference between the High School grad- uate and one not so lucky. Ideas are the yeast of progress, and the High School student fresh from his books is bread for many. The high iiown ideas that he has learned he talks about among people with whom he works and lives. They laugh, they scoff, they jeer, they call him a fool for entertaining themg they point to him as a horrible example. And the graduate soon learns to think that a High School education is like a concealed weapon, that he must carefully hide it yet keep it ready for instant use. He is beginning to be of value to the world. Entertaining the deathless ideas that have been instilled into him by devoted teachers, he is willing to kneel and learn from experience. Experience is a teacher that ruled all men with the rod. There are no kisses, no words of praise for the well doing, there is only t.l1e stern call to keep the work up, while for the ill-doing -the whip. And incompetency is a whip, a whip of scorpions each ready to strike deeply. The most uncomfortable man in the world is the incompe- tent man. The High School tries to do away with the incompetent. 8 Q Vtxyi M YV,, M Q A Commencement Honors 'Y Valedictorian EDVVARD SHERVVIN Salutatorian LIDA GOURLEY Orator GEORGE CAMPBELL Prophet EDNVARD GILLAN Historian AMELIA RIEL Response - ANNA DETWIELER Charge to Undergraduates RENA TYRRELL Poet - EDYTHE GUNN Statistican MARIE CARLSON song ' LUCY GRADY Junior Response VVESTON PARTRIDGE High School Faculty NS NV.

Mighty in valor were tl1e menibers of tl1is l1ost, who set out to conquer the Phil- istines, Bighead, Idleness, XVise Foolishness and Envy. All these men of war that could keep rank came with per- fect heart unto the city, to make the Class of '06, as was tl1e army called, famous above all classes. Great was the fame which spread over all tl1e neighboring towns. And hearing of it, others pressed on to the Class of Honor. Now, therefore, they entered tl1e heart of the City and marched to their Castle, the High School, where they kept them- selves close. And the Philistines came, and spread themselves about the eastle, pressing elose upon the army. Then did they go out upon the two enemies, under tl1e Cap- tains Bighead and Idleness. ' So tl1e army drew nigh before the Bigheads, and they tied before them. And when the children of Idleness saw that the Bigheads were fled, they likewise lied out of the city. But the army of valor followed close upon them, and set the battle in array against them. And the mighty host destroyed the enemy and slew the cap- tains. Now did the host make merry, and they went out of the city to a hall. Feasting and dancing there was, for there was joy in the hearts of the children of the Class of '06. And it eame to pass that after the first year was expired, and the second year was begun, the spirit came upon others of another host, and they eame unto the mighty army. And they said, 'Teaee and strength be unto thee and thy helpers? And the army took them in and made them members of the band. So strengthened, the army went out upon the new enemy, the YYise Fools, who had gathered themselves up before the eas- tle whilst the army was absent. 13 And the battle waxed great, and continued for months, for tl1e enemy was persistent. Now it came to pass, that the love of pleasure came nigh unto ruining the army. Feasts were given and there was much dancing. And the power of the army wa11ed. Then rose up the chief of these children. and proclaimed against these ways. And the chief said, HBe it known unto ye, that our enemy, Foolishness, is without the gates of our castle. And be it known unto ye, that our strength waning because of this excessive festivity and dancing, thus displeasing the rul- ers of our land, that this enemy will overpower us. Now that it is not meet for us to see dishonor, hearken ye unto these my words. Leave off making merry and return to thy former valor. And the army hearkened unto these words of wisdom and went out upon the enemy and dispersed them. Then did they rejoice, for this was the mightiest foe in the land. Now ceased their labor of their second year, and they re- tired to rest. Now it came to pass that another enemy rose in tlre land, the one enemy left whom they had not subdued. Now the army had grown less, but the mighty strength of those left unto the band showed their rulers that they could not be surpassed. So down upon this enemy fell the army of valor, and tlre enemy were sore fr ightened, for after a fateful time, neither am- munition, nor fresh troops nor refuge had they. Soon were they delivered into the hands of the courageous host. Now therefore the band returned, rejoicing that they l1ad so soon overcome their enemies. . And they lived in their castle, and they waxed wiser day by day, for they were likewise strong in mind. Now it hath been the custom in the city on the shores, for the Juniors, as the victorious host were now called, to give unto the highest class a festival. This did the Class of '06, a.nd great was the glory be- stowed upon them by all the pupils in th'e land. Now did the army begin their fourth year of labor, and they rejoiced for they had slain all their enemies. 14 Now it came to pass that the rulers of the land bethought themselves of more labors for the host. So these children put aside their armour and remained in the castle and worked over books. And the ruler said unto the warriors that they shall write orations. Then did the children of the host plead for mercy, but there was no mercy forthcoming. And the prophet of the city came unto them, and said, Be- cause ye have been so brave in warfare, ye are to be tested so that thy power in other matters may be proved. And be it known, that ye cannot receive praise and glory due unto ye ,less ye perform this labor. Then the children of the host, set about their task. And they Completed it, for failure was not known unto them. Thus did this host perform all tasks set unto them. And there was none other army in the land so valiant and so worthy as they. Amelia Reil. .AP A Peep Behind the Scenes N a warm, clear and typical day in early June, when one's mind turns from examinations, cramming and even ainusements and diversions and longs 'to stroll through some shaded wood, drop all care for the time and simply enjoy nature, as I was wandering in a neighboring wood in hopes of getting an inspira- tion, I came upon a lovely spot which I never remembered to have seen before. Sit-ting at the base of a large maple, I gave myself up to contemplating the scene before me. IVhether it was the absolute quiet, the warm day or that some one came to the relief of a perplexed propl1'et, I can not say, but gradually the forest faded, my eyes closed, and I fell asleep. My eyes had scarcely closed when I awoke with a start, but amid very different surroundings. I was in the lobby of one of the largest and grandest theatres in the United States. Large electric signs announced Shakespearels great tragedy, Macbeth. The greatest actress of Shakespearian roles was playing the part of Lady Macbeth and drawing immense crowds and as I entered was just making her appearance on the stage. Somelrow I re- membered to have seen her before but could not recall the cir- cumstances. Not until she came to f'But screw your courage to the sticking place, And welll not fail. Did I remember that the time I had heard that voice and those words before was in English III. and the name was Helen Garnett. 1 I had no time to think before the surroundings changed as suddenly as before. In striking contrast to the above, I found myself on a level stretch of country land on a warm summer's day. I beheld, reclining in the shade of a stubby bush, a typical looking farmer. He was clad in the regulation suit, even to the large straw hat through which a small tuft of jet black hair ap- peared at the crown. As I entered into conversation with' him, I found him to be no ordinary farmer . His speech and manner would have done credit to ai Wfaukegan society leader. He was, 16 he told me, a graduate of the State Agricultural school and of tl1e Waukegan High School. He had farming reduced to a science, and had just succeeded in getting corn that grew al- ready shelled. Beyond this I could not learn. I had proceeded but a short distance when I saw a beautiful young woman with a butteriiy net and a bag of specimens approaching me. She asked me if I had seen any phyloxera in my walk. I was spared the embarassment of expressing my ignorance by her suddenly but stealthily stealing toward a little black spot in the top of the bush behind which reclined my scientific farmer. Instantly I recognized the specimen', she was after as the latter's escaped lock of hair. I tried to cry out but it was too late, the butterfly net fell with a crash and the next instant-Anna Detweiler was making profuse apologies to Lloyd Jones. The scene again changes to a city. I saw an elderly lady with beautiful golden curls, carrying what appeared to be a manuscript of some kind, accompanied by a somewhat smaller but equally beautiful lady entering the editor's sanctum of a large periodical. The former, I was informed, was a noted poet who had risen to fame in a few short weeks. As a prophet I am able to state that we have this coming poctess with us tonight and you will have the pleasure of hearing one of the poems upon which her fame will be based. Her companion, instructor of Latin in Yale college, is chiefly noted as th'e author of a book defending the study of tl1e ancients and tl1e Latin and Greek lan- guage in the public schools. From these descriptions I think you will all recognize, as readily as I did, Edythe Gunn and Car- rie Burnett, respectively. I had now become used to these sudden changes of scene and eagerly awaited what the next would bring forth. I was in the hall of that venerable body, the United States Senate. A tall and stately senator was reading Comas to the house, seemingly with the idea that there was plenty of time, while most of the remaining senators fumed with rage, because of the fact that it was near the end of the session and an important bill was waiting to be put through. How th'e worthy senator expected to prove his points by passages from Comas, I cannot imagine, but George Campbell could get a deep meaning out of almost any- thing in his High School days, so I suppose he knew what he was about. In the next change of scene I stood before a spacious coun- 17 I 4 try dwelling, surrounded by numerous flower beds and so scrup- ulously neat as to proclaim without a doubt that it was the home of a spinster. I was admitted by an elderly lady and two little white kittens with blue ribbons around their necks. Various other members of the feline family welcomed me with soft purr- ing. The lady in charge informed me it was a Home for De- linquent Cats and claimed she was as much of a philanthropist as those engaged in more ostentatious enterprises. She said she was always disposed to be kind to animals and in the Wlaukegan High School-suddenly her identity flashed upon me. She was Lenore Bland, whose oration has aroused the sympathy of the whole High School toward the Indian and his wrongs. The kind hearted lady a.nd her feline friends disappear. Be- fore me sits a young lady at a canvas, sketching a landscape. Her dark eyes are riveted on th'e work before her and she takes no notice of my presence. As she pauses a minute I recognize Jennie Jackson, and I recall the time when she took an active part in painting the decoration which adorned the oiiice of the old High School and has been transferred to the new Township High School. Now I see an old man with a long white beard, sitting be- fore a small house in a country village. He is known as the oldest inhabitantf' a.nd is somewhat of a philosopher in his way. He is the village authority on every matter of speculation from a base ball game to a presidential election, and can find material for an argument on almost any topic brought up. I entered into conversation with him and he immediately went off to tell how we beat Hinsdale and almost got the state champion- ship, if we were not beaten th'e second game and if?- No one who attended High School with the class of 1906 could fail to recognize Oscar Ohlson, the only philosopher worthy of the name that the High School could ever boast of. Another change and I am in thle Parisian theatre, Paris. A famous American singer is touring Europe. She has sung be- fore all the crowned heads, delighted thousands of people and is now on a two months' engagement in Paris before leaving for home. As I listen to tl1e voice that has captivated all Europe I try to recall a faint suspicion lingering in my mind. Now I receive a program. Mme. Lydia Dahringer is what stares up at me from tl1e printed sheet as the surroundings fade into another scene. 18 ' This discloses the oddest looking company I had yet seen. A long row of blindfolded young ladies, sprinkled here and there with young men by way of variety, were arrayed before type- writers. They were in a contest to decide the championship of the United States. Among the many inducements offered to the winner was the position as a court reporter of the United States Supreme Court. I took particular notice of a young lady whose fingers seemed fairly to fly over the keys. At the close of the required time she was fully two hundred words in the lead and the judge announced her as Mabel Lake, Gurnee, Ill. Cheers upon cheers rend the air, but not from the above an- nouncement. Before me stretches a base ball diamond. The object of the cheers is the first baseman who has just made a spectacular leap into the air after a ball, made a triple play and won the game. A girl sits in the grandstand and claps her lit- tle hands until her gloves are ruined, cxclaiming, I knew Cow would do soinetliingfl She occupies an important position as teacher of Science in a leading university and her name is Lucy Grady. A large steamship is just about to leave the wharf. A dele- gation from the XVomen's Foreign Aid Society are embracing one of th'eir number who is about to depart as a missionary to the Fiji Islands. I cannot see hcr face until th'e vessel is draw- ing out to sea, when as she waves her farewell to her friends I recognize Marie Carlson and wish her the best of luck in her un- dertaking. I next find myself in the spectators' gallery of the State Legislature. It is a memorable day and I am lucky to secure a seat. For the past year there has been a great women sudrage agitation headed by such renowned leaders as Iiida Gourley and Nellie Gowdy. Now, as an important suffrage bill is about to be brought up, these two leaders are here to plead their cause. One member of the house, a Mr. Deitmeyer, has dared to take a decided stand in the way of the bill's passage. Nellie Gowdy takes the fioor against the stubborn representative and a scene ensues similar to the one enacted by these very two in the VVau- kegan High School and on this same question. Then Lida takes the stand and when she gets through, Elmer Dietmeyer is no where to be seen and the bill goes through with a rush. Now I am on a palace car, speeding from New York to Chicago. Harry Nelson, the great railroad magnate, and his 19 wife, have combined a honeymoon and business trip to the east and are now -on their way home. The car fills up and a few are left standing. Elsie Menter, traveling agent for the Zion City Lace Industries, is among the latter. Harry, with a deep bow suclf as he had never used since the night of the ttMagistrate, offers her his seat with a little more politeness than the occa- sion warrants, thinks his wife. Mary Lester is not a person to be triiied with and the glance she darts at Harry sends him into the smoker for a quiet smoke. The next scene reveals a suite of rooms occupied by a re- nowned hypnotist and soothsayer. Thinking perhaps she could lfelp me out in my search for members of 1ny scattered class, I enter and state the object of my visit. She takes a small mirror and by gazing intently at it for some minutes, hypnotizes herself and goes into a trance. Then she begins to relate her vision. HI see an immense cloud of dust growing larger and larger. From it emerges an automobile going like the wind. It is evi- dently a race for three or four others follow at various distances. In spite of the queer head dress and goggles which almost con- ceals the chaffeur, she appears to be a young girl not at all ex- cited, but controlling her great machine with perfect coolness. But can you ascertain her name? Can you see the number? '4Tl1e number is 23 and according to tl1e score card I have in my hand her name is Marie Shields. But the vision has vanished. f'Do you see anything of Thomas Merchant? XYhere is he all these years? Alf, Tommie is head of a large packing house in Chicago. He has met with a decided success in his profession, and has bought up most of the meat packing plants in and around Chi- cago. Following the lead of Mr. Graham he is writing a series of 4tLetters from a Self-Made Merchant to Students. Now can you see anything of Ethel Ward ? Ethel is a prominent member of the Audubon Society which has grown rapidly lately. Shie is now a delegate from Illi- nois to a convention at IVashington where an attempt will be made to interest the government in the protection of birds. An- other old classmate you might be interested in is Amelia Reil, who is now superintendent of schools and who has founded and endowed an Old Maids Home. 20 Now tell me if you can see anything of Flossie J ohnson? At the sound of the name the lady starts from h'er trance advances with a smile and says: I will give you an opportunity of seeing her for yourself, I am Flossie Johnson and am only too glad to aid a former classmate. Instantly the surroundings change again. It is a dental parlor, that place of torture dreaded by so many. A lady den- tist who has charge is quietly reading, waiting for the next vic- tim while a table of instruments stands waiting for the unfortu- nate. Presently another young lady is ushered in with a hbwl and a demand to have her tooth extracted 'fright away. But when she is seated in the chair, and an ugly looking instrument is brought forth, her nerve fails and she leaps from the chair and runs. Carmel Carrie Shea! shouts the other amid bursts of laughter, Hdonit you remember your old friend Rena Tyrell? I wouldn't hurt you for the world. And in the joy of meeting the tooth-ache is forgotten as is also several customers who loud- ly demand immediate attention. Now I see a man, hard at work in a physical laboratory at- tached to his residence. He is the great scientist, Edward Sher- win, who has almost completed a scheme for rapid transit. By raising a vehicle off the earth, and allowing the lat-ter to re- volve as usual, he hopes to circle the earth in twenty-four hours. Unfortunately he cannot succeed in getting a vehicle that can be raised off the earth and kept perfectly stationary. But this is a minor point, and we shall soon be indebted to one of our class of having made it possible to take a little trip to China some Sunday afternoon. A solitary yacht breasting Lake Michigan on an ideal boat- ing day is what next meets my gaze. It is rather large for a single person to handle, but the one man who is visible seems to be doing so with considerable skill. The Marjory is one of the finest of the kind on the lake and under the skillful management of John Skene is a beautiful sight to see. John captains one of the vessels plying between Buffalo and Chicago, and is now on a small pleasure trip. Doubtless there is a party of young ladies in the cabin, for John does not seem to be enjoying himself and keeps glancing suspiciously in that direction. I row nearer to investigate but alas, the scene has vanished. 21 I -iw In its place is a row of white tents over which floats, side by side, the stars and stripes and a red cross on a white back- ground. Desperate fighting is going on in the background and wounded and dying soldiers are being constantly brought in on stretchers. A nurse dressed in white and wearing her badge of office on her arm, hurries to and fro among the tents, giving di- rections, attending to the wounded and giving water to those she could aid in no other way. In this ont-of-the-way place, we find Agnes Dalziel, serving her country in reality and acting as the only reminder of home to those dying soldiers. Now I behold a postoiiice in a country store. Behind the bars of the little postofiice is the postmistress, Ada Kuebker, ar- ranging the mail and waiting for the afternoon rush. On a box in the corner of the store proper sits the champion checker player, within easy reach of a box of dried apples, impatiently waiting for someone, especially one of the summer boarders at Miss Oliver's, to accept his standing challenge. Blanche Oliver is keeping a large lake resort frequented by the society of the city during the summer months. Presently one of these guests, a pri- vate tutor of German, who is spending the summer at her old classmate's delightful resort, enters, greets those present and asks the postmistress if there is any mail for Mary Dady. Ada hands her a pink, scented letter which she proceeds to read at once. The substance is as follows: Harry Reube, a highly re- spected physician, is about to give the commencement address at the IVaukegan High School. As M'ary is an old friend of his and of the above school, he respectfully tenders her an invitation to the same. Short and sweet as Harry's letters usually are, as Mary read, a deep blush overspreads her face, which does not es- cape the champion checker player, who remarks: Ah, another letter from Harry. They are coming pretty regular. And George Carney makes a dive at the dried apples. But now the scene is at hand in which, in the course of events, I should appear. Following the start I received as a class prophet, I accepted a position on the weather bureau. But deciding futures for a bunch of graduates, I find is a different proposition from trying to deceive the public. There I can not depend on visions but must supply facts. But now the circuit of the class has been completed. The visions vanish abruptly and I am brought back to the stern real- 22 ities of life. XVhetl1er the above come true or not, I feel safe in saying that the Class of 1906 will be a credit to XVaukeg:1n, to its individual 1ll0lllb01'S, to the teachers who have borne our sliortcoinings so patiently, to the Alumni whose ranks we are about to enter and to the XVaukegan High School. Edward Gillan, Prophet. 'V' The Class Poem X2 The scene is a peaceful valley Where the river Hows on to the sea Where the wild flowers are blooming And the winds blow over the lea. The tents of an army are pitched there Gleaming white in the shining sun, And the bugle sounds its message For the day is just begun. But the scene in the valley changes And the peace that was there before Is replaced by the din of battle And the cannon's awful roar. And the sun that was just rising Is now well over head, Instead of a living army, On the ground are piles of dead. But the din of the battle passes And the smoke goes slowly by While through the shattered branches The sad wind seems to sigh. The remains of the splendid army March on their weary way, NVith a glance at their fallen comrades, In the light of the dying day. And the night settles slowly downward The sun has left the sky As the ranks of the living army, Press on-to win or die. And so let us-dear class mates Press onward to life's fray, With a thought for weaker comrades Who have fallen by the way. And, if success be lacking Let us nobly meet defeat, 'Till in some more distant country We shall all together meet. -Edythe Gunn Poet y Statistics of the Class of 1906 N a certain bright day-and a fortunate day for this school-in September, 1902, a, class of eighty-eight brilliant boys and girls began their eventful careers in the lllaukegan High Sch-ool. On this more eventful day only thirty-six of that number are ready to take their Bight from the school world into the world of work. . VVe have always shown our great enjoyment of good times. In our Freshie year we were entertained by Thomas Durkin, and later in the winter we gave a class dance. In our Sophomore year this quality was more plainly marked by the numerous dances and farewell parties which we conducted. Even as Jun- iors we did not forget our previous record and as Seniors kept up the reputation by a dance at Perrinis Hall as a farewell to Ethel lVard, and a sleigh-ride to the home of o-ne of our memb- ers. Leaving such things to be said by th'e historian, I will pro- ceed to develop the statistics of this interesting class. The weights vary from eighty-six to one hundred and sev- enty-nine. The average is one hundred and twenty for the girls in Civics class. The gross weight is 4,177 pounds, the average for the class is one hundred and twenty-six. The heights range from five feet to six feet, one inch. The total is one hundred sixty-five feet, four inches. The average height is five feet, five inches. The a.verage glove measure is six. The average hat number is six and three-fourths. The sizes range from six and five-eights to seven and three-eights. It is rumored that if the boy who wears the seven and three-eights were to have his foot- ball locks shorn he could easily wear a six and one-fourth. Wle have very small feet, the shoes ranging from two and one-half to eleven. The average is four and one-half. 'fAge before beauty would not do as a maxim for our class since we are all as beautiful as we are young. Some .resemble very closely our ancestors, who, according to Darwin, climbed trees in the forests of Asia, others approach the beauty of the Sistine Madonna. The hair varies from a. jet black-straight or curly-to a light brown with various shades of reds and browns 25 scattered between. Eighteen and a half pairs of eyes are blue, nine and a half pairs are brown, and eight pairs are gray. lVe are as a rule a class of very young people, the oldest being nine- teen and the youngest fifteen. The average age is seventeen and a half. IVe are a cosmopolitan class. About twenty-live of our class were born in Illinois. Others were born in Iowa, lVisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, Canada, Sweden and British Guiana, South America. It is quite interesting to note some of the slang phrases. Four use, For Johnls sake 5 two, For Pete's sake? Others say, Bah Jove, it's a cinch, Hah! Hah! Oh Louie, My stars, Bless my soul, Depends upon how the wind blows, Mamma, pass the prunes, Heavens to Betsy, etc., etc. In attempting to show the general characteristics of the class, I decided this could be best done by the reading of the zo- diac. We are clear reasoners on subjects of a materialistic char- acter, capable of acquiring a iineteducation. Our minds are mainly engrossed in the useful. NVe are faithful, earnest, and proficient in whatever we undertake. VVe are already known as agreeable companions, good natured, happy, dignified and sensi- tive. Very determined, stubborn and natural conquerors. We also love literary pursuits and are inclined to be studious. Great adaptability, splendid memory, great physical and mental en- durance characterizes us. Ask the teachers for their testimony in regard to these virtues. Now for a few-we have only a few faults. 'We are jealous, being too easily influenced by members of the opposite sex. IVe have too great pride of personal and general appearance. lVe also have too great deference to public opinion. But with all our virtues and all our faults we love each other still. YV e believe that further chronicles will be written in later days of the deeds and achievements of our individual mem- bers.

E. Marie Carlson .50 Democracy and Education HE most striking and impressive of all movements of the century is the political development of that form of gov- ernment known as democracy. When the 19th century opened the theory that the government could be carried on by the collective mediocrity instead of the ruling few, was the laughing stock of Europe. The United States, hardly risen from the cradle, was regarded with a curiosity, partly amused, partly disdainful. How different a spectacle is presented when the 20th cen- tury opens! The United States has disappointed every foe and falsified th'e prediction of every critic. The governmental frame- work, constructed by the fathers for less than 400,000 people, has easily expanded to meet the needs of a mighty country twenty times as great. It has withstood the shock of the greatest civil war of all times, fought by men of high intelligence and firm con- victions. It has permitted the development and expansion of a government in which there is equality of opportunity for all, and where the highest honors have been thrust upon the plain people. Europe does not laugh now. lVhen Uncle Sam says that a certain speciiied thing must be done in a certain specified way, the other nations remember t.hat it is time that it was done that way. lVhy? It is because they think that the power is in the hands of the people. Because of this power, it is only natural that we should ask: 'fVVhither are we tending and what will be our ruin? Some think that our desire to keep peace in the world will be our ruin. Others talk about the yellow peril or the danger of expansion. Never. VVe could whip all the rest of the world, if we had to. The peril, however, that is facing the United States today is the ignorant voter and in connection with him the politicians, political bosses, graft and corruption of which the ignorant voter is the cause. The ruin of all democracies in the past has come within the democracy itself 5 and the United States does not seem destined to escape the common fate. The only hope which we have lies in the universal education of the people. Educate the people so that they all know what they are voting for, and 28 what the government means to them, and then I defy all of the rest of the world to put us down. As yet we, as a people have gone no further than to contrast the blessings of democracy with what we know of the oppression and iniquity of the monarchs. We must, however, go further and give a true insight into the institutional life of which we are a part. It is here that we find evidence of a close relation be- tween democracy and education. So long as the reins of govern- ment were in the hands of a few, the need of a wide political edu- cation was not widely felt. Now all has changed. Upon the intelligence of the whole people should depend the preservation of liberty under the law, and of the institutions that are our proud heritage. Our consti- tutional system was so adjusted that each individual's choice would count in ascertaining th'e public will. Has the constitu- tion been carried out? It has not. It now shelters a system of party organizations and of political practices, a system that re duces the ruling body to a few men. The ideal of democracy is that the people rule everything. Is this in accordance with dem- ocracy? Apparently not. Yet it is about as well to have men in office who are put there by the aid of politicians as to have the people do it, when so many of them do not even know the funda- mental principles of democracy. One way you get a grafter 5 the other an incompetent man. Not much difference. But, you say, the people vote. The mass of the people vote, it is true, but as a rule only for men who have been chosen by the politicians who are in the business, not for the good of the people but for what they can get out of it. Yet the public does not seem to care. Many of the voters know little about the conditions and seem to care less. Instead of the choosing of men being in the hands of an intelligent public as it ought to be, the public lets things drift, so long as they are not injured too much by their indifference. Instead of considering election as a sacred duty, worthy of the highest thought, the public treats it as a kind of a farce. Corpo- rations and politicians take advantage of this and wholesale graft results. Whose fault is it? It is the fault of the people. The number who are capable of understanding what is going on around them, so that they can form the whole into a distinct sys- tem is too few. Too large a part of us are readily swayed by the promise of a couple of dollars for a vote or a certain good thing inside the saloon the next day. A large part of us know nothing of either the man or what he stands for, we just vote for the one 29 who promises the most. An instructed public opinion is hard to attain, yet unless we are to surrender the very principles on which democracy rests, we must attain it. Our present system of government controlled by a few, could be done away with in a hurry if only the people were educated and interested. Some states now have a primary law. But what good is it to them? The people do not turn out at the primary where they have the privilege of controlling the election. The power of governing is in the hands of the people then, but they do not take advantage of it. The politician obtains the longed for chance next and then a big howl goes up because the people have been trampled on. The politician lives only because the people fail to do their duty. The charge of affairs goes to the politician and this induces a feeling of irresponsibility for pub- lic affairs that is destructive to democracy. Much of the disinclination to engage in active political life is due to theevil effects upon our political standard that flow from the degrading system of treating public office as a. reward for party fealty. The spoils system is absolutely undemocratic, and utterly unworthy of toleration by an intelligent people. But much as has been done to eliminate this evil, much remains to be done. To turn over the cares of great public undertakings to the self-seeking camp followers of some politician is a sign of a bar- baric age. Teachers are the first to insist that incompetent and un- trained persons shall not be allowed to teach. Why, then, should we, the public, tolerate the sight of a house painter, instead of an engineer, superintending the streets of a city of 100,000? This case took place in New York, and there are thousands of other cases just like it in the United States. These conditions exist because of bad citizenship, low ideals of public service and a wretchedly inadequate moral vision. They will not be removed until each of us is better educated, so t.hat, we will realize our power and know what to do, so that we will realize our mistakes and recognize a cure. It is also a serious error to believe and to spread the belief that democracies have nothing to learn and nothing to improve in their government. A democracy composed of INTELLI- GENT men borders on the ideal, but the democracies of the present day, where a large part of the voters do not take a strong interest in the government, is certainly far from the ideal. As a case of an ideal democracy, take that of the American 80 colonists before the Revolution. There was certainly a, rule by the people. Their intelligence was admitted even by the English. Each man knew his rights. YVhen they were taxed without rep- resentation, they objected. It was not the tax they fought about. It was the principle of the thing. lVere our sires of the early American days made of sterner stuif than ourselves? This time we are in the hands of not one tyrant, but many. Not only is the principle at stake but the cash also. The monopolies offend not only our conscience but our pocket-book. lVith only the first for an excuse, our ancestors put up a good fight, with both for an excuse, we, their supposed- ly strenuous descendents, sit. still and watch a bad thing go on. XVe know that the trusts are wronging us, but we do nothing to control them. Surely the controlling of the trusts is not so hope- less a task as that task which confronted a few thousand farmers one hundred and thirty years ago. lVe need an educated mass of citizens who can see both sides of a question and deal accordingly. Unless it comes quickly, there will be grave consequences. Some of the people, stimulated by the unceasing flow of reports of graft and corruption, will soon destroy the packing houses, railroads and other companies. To control them is obviously wise, but to destroy them is the height of foolishness. The good that they do for us outstands the evil, but it is human nature to see the evil. TO CONTROL them is not hard. The corporation, like the individual, fears most of all an active, educated public sentiment. They are terrified by the power of an INTELLIGENT mass 5 for the wail of the ignor- ant they care nothing. The good citizen is not the querulous critic of public men and public policy, he is rather the constant participator in polit- ical struggles, the man who is educated, who has well grounded convictions, and who does his duty in clearing democracy of the graft and corruption attached to it. VVe have tl1c remedy in our hands. It is education. Education is the only means by which the people will get their rights. Education once secured there is no doubt that, since in every case the government is as good as the people, the mass of intelligent people can weather the ship of state through the storms. To remedy these difficulties of democracy is the duty of our education. If our education be sound, if it lay due emphasis on individual responsibility, if it counteract the tendencies that grow out of greed and corruption, if it promote a patriotism that 31 reaches further than the yelling for liberty, equality and frater- nity, then we may cease to have any doubts regarding the per- petuity and integrity of our institutions. YV hat our educational system needs and what is now being adopted, is a fuller appreciation of the relation of the individ- ual to the state, to show the student what tremendous issues are involved in government. Only that democracy will be successful what has both char- acter and intelligence. Not then by vain glorious boasting, not by self satisfied indifference, not by selfish and indolent with- drawal from participation in government, but rather by an en- thusiasm sprung from education and intense conviction that finds the happiness of each in the good of all, will our educa- tional ideals be satisfied and our free government be placed be- yond the reach of graft and of corruption.

Here we've sung the songs of Vergil, And his epic hero bold, Now we'll raise the song of triumph, To the purple and the gold. In the years of future battles Out upon the Iield of life, We shall find our dear old High School Aiding us to win the strife. Here we've laid our firm foundation And have seen the truth unfold, So we'll praise dear old Waukegan With the purple and the gold. Although years may change our fancies, Of skies forever bright, And the dream of youth may vanish 'Mid shadows of the night. Yet welll cherish memories tender, Of schoolmates now grown old, Who carried high the banner Of the purple and the gold. Lucy Grady Charge to Undergraduates ENIOR privileges! Yes that is what our class has vainly endeavored to obtain but failed until recently, when a few of us were given-a time honored custom of Senior classes-the privilege of preparing something in the way of entertainment. Perplexity possessed me when informed of MY privilege, for how should I dispense wisdom to others when not overburdened with wisdom myself, however, having heard that 4'Many things impossible to thought, Have been, by their need, to full perfection brought, I took courage, especially when reminded that one did not need to go to the ends of the earth for material but could always find an abundance of it in the daily walks of life. This I found to be true by observing my schoolmates-especially the Freshmen. Freshmen! you are almost Sophomores now-or at least you ought to be-and as your numerous experiences and difficul- ties encountered when you were such wee, timerous, eowering, little creatures, are still fresh in your minds, remember the gol- den rule and do unto the coming classes as you would have been done by. The incoming Freshman probably will not have as much trouble a.s you have had, nevertheless, there is not ONE of them who does not need the help of those in advance . I As for the Sophomores, I suppose 'fa word to the wise is sufficient. Probably a few don'ts will be appreciated by you. Don't try to work the teachers because they have been pupils themselves. Always remember that it is more work to get out of work than to do it. Don,t squander your time, it's too prec- ious. Study hard and show your ability and preparation when the opportunity offers, but dontt take up ALL the time in class. Don't ever try to bluff', an answer for you will find tif you havenlt found out alreadyj that it will be a. failure. Each year your work will get more diiiicult and if you do not work hard the first two years when you are Juniors you will say 34 0h! if I only had worked harderf' but alas! It is then too late. Shakespeare said: There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood leads on to fortune, Omitted, all th'e voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries, On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. And what he said is as true in High School life as any- where else. Don't think because you have left your Freshman trials behind you, that you can assume numerous privileges. VVait until you are Seniors and you will appreciate them the more. When you become Juniors you will undoubtedly give the time honored reception to the Seniors, and we sincerely hope that you will be as considerate with regard to invitations as the present Junior class has been. But there is another thing which I wish to say in regard to this reception. Don't give it merely for show. Each year the succeeding class tries to outdo the last one in every way possible. Don't do it for the sake of com- petition but take into consideration the large number who at- tend and do not enjoy dancing. The reply may be, Well, if they donlt like it let them stay at home. That is not the right spirit. Make it what it was intended to be, an event which all can enjoy, but don't hold it in Chicago or New York to outdo the present Junior class. As a rule you will all enjoy clfewing gum or eating candy or working your jaws in some way but remember the com- mandment of Room 5, Thou shalt not chew gum. Room 5 is small and tl1e teacher's eyes sharp. NVhen a Junior becomes a Senior he thinks he becomes a privileged character. Don't be bashful a.bout asking for your privileges. It seems so difticult to get them that they really must be worth the having. If you DO get them keep them for the next class, they will probably accept them. Along with the Senior privileges come the Senior duties. The gentleman may wear very high collars and audible clothes but he must don the garment of dignity. Seniors! conduct yourselves in a gentle manly and ladylike manner and teach the lower classes how to pass through the halls and down the stairs without the attend- 35 , ance of a teacl1er. Surely all HIGH SCHOOL pupils ought to have enough DIGNITY and SELF-RESPECT to carry them- selves properly without some one to watch every movement. You may think that you are not allowed enough freedom in your school life but what a terrible confusion there would be if each one were allowed to do as he wished. As Burke says, We must balance inconvenience, We give and take, we remit some rights that we may enjoy others, as we nrust give away some nat- ural liberty to enjoy civil advantages, so we must sacrifice some civil liberties FOR the advantages to be derived from the com- munion and fellowship of a great empire. Orations come during the Senior year. When that never to be forgot-ten? time arrives don't lie awake nights thinking up some excuse for getting out of the work or don't make a rush for a doctor's certificate but let each one do his or her part and make it a success. Our class is the only one that has made an attempt in the way of decorating rooms. The office shows the result of our work and we hope that future classes will carry on the work. Might it not be well to start on the assembly room? In conclusion I will say: Always remember your experien- ces as Freshmen, your duties as Sophomores, your honor as Jun- iors, and as Seniors the quiet dignity which shall demand the respect and admiration of the underclasses. The glorious future is already dimly outlined and your destiny h'as begun in ear- nest. YVe sincerely hope that you will live up to your privileges by graduating without regrets, without dishonors, and with the well wishes of all your friends and each member of the faculty. E.

We quietly entered, took our assigned seats and tried to do as we were directed, fby t.h'e teachersj And in such a manner we have traveled thus far in our high school life. Slowly, but steadily and surely getting there. During these three years many of our classmates have an- swered the call of the business world because it seemed that the business could not wait for them to finish their High School course. For this we are very sorry but still we have a few Hstickers, who will be able to keep away from the cruel outer world a little longer. During our Freshman year we followed the prescribed course for Freshmen in social functions, this being one sleigh- ride. Also the same with a dance in our Sophomore year. VVith these we felt that we had neither done too much nor too little and were satisfied to wait for our turn to make a suc- cess of the one event of the year. YVe are a very modest class and will not say too 1nucl1 of our own party. lVe hope our classmates enjoyed it and were satis- tied with it. YVith regards to virtues of our class we have many, and a large variety. Athletics may be taken first. In our Freshman year we ob- tained second place in the Inter-class meet and in our Sopho- more year first place. In our Junior year there was no need of a track meet, we were unanimously proclaimed tl1e victors. And basket ball our one last game left, has only been kept up by the hard work and cheering of 1907. . . As to intelligence and beauty ever assembled in one High School class we have them all skinned, falso a little deeperj. Of course the class of ,OG is for was a very nice class but We notice that they are getting rather attached to the building and seem to consider that they own it so we will kindly ask them to 'fskidoov as we will need plenty of room next year to do honor to our dear High School and the class of 1907. Albert Goodnow. 37 Class History, '08 ISTORY of the Class of 'OSI Indeed our history is still in the process of making. It is true we have performed few great deeds, due entirely however to the lack of time. Yet those accomplished have been crowned with laurel and their history you will hear. Ours is an exceptionally bright class. We have won the compliments of the teachers by our famous debates and im- promptu orations, for which one member of the class is espec- ially noted. Our class meetings have always been orderly U1 boasting of having adjourned only once by Mr. Stebbins. The members of our class all have the faculty for planning dances, but always lacked the money and tact for carrying them out. Many dances have been planned, but only one materialized, which was held at Perrin Hall. It was an honor to the class and all agreed that '08 were up-to-date along social lines. Since our basket ball season this year was a success, we boast of our a.thletics, the star player being numbered among the members of '08. Although during our first two years of High School life We have had our successes, our failures, and plenty of F's, yet we feel that in the future when our High School life is in the dim past, as we hear of great men and women, we can smile and say, f'Oh, yes, I knew them. They belonged to the Class of '08. We look forward to a bright future and can safely say that We are the exceptional class of the W. H. S. Jennie F.

Domestic Science ITH the closing of this year we see the end of two suc- cessful years of Domestic Science. Last year's suc- cess was not realized until at the beginning of this year, when about seventy-five girls registered for this study. However, as this large number could not be accommodated some were persuaded by Mr. Stebbins to drop it, while others were obliged to take up some other study on account of conflicts. At length the classes were arranged with ten pupils in the ad- vanced class, eighteen in the first division of thle first year and twenty in the second division of the first year. The first year has been a course in simple cooking and ele- mentary hand and machine sewing. In sewing we iirst learned to use our needles and then we were allowed to try our skill with a sewing machine. In the second yea.r the work has been a continuation of last year's. Besides the advanced cooking they have studied more theory. In sewing they were taught the drafting of patterns by means of the Joy System of Tailoring, and the cutting and mak- ing of cotton and woolen shirt waist suits. To partly defray the expense each pupil was required to pay a fee of a dollar and a half for the material which they were allowed to cook and afterwards to eat. As the pupils were divided into three classes and each class given one-half of the morning, a second instructor was required and Miss Freeman of Chicago was secured. She lfas taught two classes of sewing and Miss Delp, the same teacher as last year, has taught the three divisions of cooking and one division of sewing. The same program of work was followed this year as last. Each afternoon is devoted to the teaching of the seventh and eighth grades. It is an optional study but the eighth grade girls do not receive their credits unless they have taken this work. By two years of such success as this, the faculty feels cer- tain that this study is practical and advantageous, and that a continuation of the branch is desired. Blanche Chittenden. 41 Reviewgof theQj Magistrate HE Magistrate by Arthur Pinero, an English play- wright of the present day, is a farce which has been con- formed to the French comedies of the nineteenth centiiry. The play itself is the story of a woman, who, wishing to keep her second husband ignorant of her real age, had her son appear five years younger than he really was. The boy, how- ever, seemed far advanced for one of his age, especially in a love affair with his pretty little music mistress. Through the boy's seeming Hboyish pranksjl h'e implicated his step-father, the 'fMagistrate, who desired to helpthe boy, but as he was unused to such liveliness got into trouble. This trouble reached its climax when, the boy led the staid old magistrate to the Hotel Des Princes. While they were there, Mfrs. Posket and her sister, Charlotte come to the same place to interview a former friend of Mrs. Posket's, Colonel Lukyn, who knew her real age. Here also they encountered a sweetheart of Charlotte's, Capt. Vale. Charlotte's ravenous appetite induced the two women to re- main. While they were eating, the hotel was invaded by the police for being open over time. All hid. The two women under the table. Mr. Posket and Cis rushed in from another room, Mr. Posket also hid under the table. Confusion reigned. A terrifying scream drove the mag- istrate to escape to a balcony and away. The police hurried in but found only tl1e two women, two men and Isadore, a waiter. Their names were taken and all were summoned to appear next morning before the magistrate. Next morning the case was brought up. The magistrate unknowingly, tried and sentenced his wife and sister-in-law to seven days in jail, then commanded tl1e1n to raise their veils. He beheld his wife and sister. However, through the efforts of another magistrate the women were released. All returned home. Explanations followed and all ended happily. To say the least, the play was well presented, and all 42 WY, , K , A characters seemed to be well suited to their parts. All did very clever Work. The Cast: Mr. Posket, Magistrate . . . . . .

J' Athletics UCCESS. - This is probably the simplest way to describe the work accomplished by the lVa.ukegan High School Athletic Association this year. Never in the history of this branch of the training in the local school has as much work been accomplished. The athletic teams have had success in all the games that have been played. The games were few in number compara- tively, but in those few the lVaukegan High School team was never far behind when the score was called at the end of the game. It would not be right to use much space with the success gained on the foot ball field, because there was a greater success in store for the school athletes. The opening of the basket ball season was announced about the first of December. The captain of the team had a l1ard time selecting men for the different positions due to the large number of capable and willing candidates. At last the following team was chosen: WETZEL, Captain. JOHN SKENE, Manager. GEORGE WILLIAMS, HARRY WHYTE, OSCAR OHLSON, ELMER DIETMEYER, LLOYD JONES, ALLIE PAYNE. The first game played was between the Kenosha College of Commerce and the Waukegan Higl1' School teams. The game was a decided victory for the XVaukegans. And for two different reasons: It showed the local fans that the High School had good material. It encouraged the fans to come to the games, freeing the players from the fear of getting in the hole financially. 44 In all the games that it played the basket ball team lost but two games th'at it did not take gracefully and those were with the Lake Forest and Armour academy teams. These games showed the boys on the team that they needed some hard practice and that they could never think themselves good enough to cut out the plugging. The greatest victory that the team had was when it defeated the Hinsdale High School team, a team that the manager had a hard time to secure. All the fans turned out to see the game. The W'aukegans were afterwards defeated by this same team but the game was in a gymnasium that could be compared only with a cow shed and the W'aukegans had traveled all afternoon, jumping up from the dinner table to play ball. The series -of games that was presented was without a doubt the best ever played and Manager Skene deserved the praise that was thrown at him from all sides. There is only one vital defect in the XVaukegan High School Athletic Association and that is: Each year we find about the same teams and the same boys who are not capable of making the first teams become dissatis- fied. Then although they attend the basket ball games they are not enough interested in their own future to train and later get the coveted positions with the first teams. XYe hope that with the opening of athletics in the High School next year even the small boys who have never been inter- ested to the extent of attending the games will join in and make the Waukegan High School, which is best in every way, the best athletic school in northern Illinois. .Av Manual Training HIS year has been a successful one for the manual training Work and the classes have excelled any preceding one, Mr. Gifford says, since the opening of this branch in the local High School. This has been gained in a great part by the advantage this year's class has had in securing the Hrst part of the manual training in the grades. - The training they received there has greatly benefitted them and they were able to advance more rapidly on account of it. The first year's pupils this year were compelled to make many diierent joints, before attempting any of the larger pieces. The training and skill thus acquired is one of the main reasons why each class has excelled the preceding one. The members of the higher classes h'ave also succeeded in ac- complishing more Work and have done it in much better shape than any that has been on exhibition in the High School before. The variety of the things made by the pupils and the excel- lence with which they are constructed would do credit to older pupils and more experienced than the local boys. The main reason for this is the earnestness with which they work and it is this that gives Mr. Gifford confidence that next year's classes will show an improvement even over the work that has been done this year.
