TO   THE  GRADUATING  CLASS  AND 
OTHER  STUDENTS  OF  J.  T.  H.  S. 

FACIXG,  as  you  are.  the  close  of  another  school  year,  it  sives  us  pleasure  to 
extend  you  the  best  wishes  of  this  bank  and  to  congratulate  you  upon  the  success- 
ful conclusion  of  your  studies. 

To  those  of  you  who  graduate,  we  offer  the  hope  that  yimr  business  or  profes- 
sional life  will  be  happy  and  successful  and  that — wherever  opportunity  may  take 
you — you  will  find  good  friends,  good  will  and  good  fortune. 

We  hope  that  most  of  you  will  decide  to  remain  right  here  in  Joliet  for  very  often 
■ — as  the  "Acres  of  Diamonds"  story  so  graphically  shows — there  are  greater  op- 
portunities close  at  hand  than  far  away.

in  this  bank  a  steadfast  friend — a  friend  that  will  always  be  glad  to  hear  from  you

To  those  of  you  who  have  not  yet  finished  your  course,  we  extend  the  hope  that 
the  vacation  period  may  be  in  every  way  a  happy  one  and  that  you  will  return  to 
school  next  fall  with  new  enthusiasm  for  vour  work  and  with  renewed  love  for

"till  slruy-gle  for  existence"  in  1882,  jnsl 
when  llial  sy-.teiii  was  cnierginsf  from  its

Perhaps  you  had  never  thought  that  in  its 
varied  stages  of  development  and  improvement 
our  own  high  school  might  be  compared  to 
some  great  and  magnificint  example  of  tiie 
Iilaiil  or  animal  kingdom,  but  it  is  thoroughly 
feasilile  To  compare  il  In  some  stately  pine 
or  liemlock  would  aflford  a  delightful  display 
of  a  fertile  imagination,  but  to  satisfy  the 
vanity  of  that  liighly  developed  species  of  the 
animal  kingdom,  called  niaii.  it  might  be 
more  pleasing  to  liken  cuir  iiislilntion  and  its 
growth  to  the  structure  .ind  development  of 
one   of  his   closer  relatives. 

Even  in  this  enlightened  age,  there  are 
some  periods  in  the  history  of  all  prominent 
institutions  which  present  a  dark,  somewhat 
hazy  existence  in  the  past  and  about  which 
very   little    is   definitely   known.        Such    is    the 


case  witli  tlie  Joliet  High  School  from  185S 
lo  1874  when  the  first  class,  consisting  of 
ihrec  girls,  was  graduated  and  when  llie  high 
sclioid  classes  were  tatight,  at  times  in  the 
old  KasUrn  Avenue  school  and  again,  in 
rooms  over  tlu-  old  Cagwin  Bank  on  Jefferson 
Street.  From  1874-1879  neither  graduates 
nor  commencements  are  recorded,  but  since 
1879,  each  year  has  witnessed  a  successfnl 
hi.gh   school   commencement   in    Jnliel. 

By  1882,  the  need  for  a  high  school  Iniild- 
ing  was  voiced  and  soon  met  hv  the  erection 
of    the    old    building    on     Chicago     Street  It 

was  on  the  uiiper  floor  of  lli.at  Imilding  that 
for  some  I  en  years  the  higli  school  classes 
were   conducted. 

The  old  feeling  of  rivalry  between  the  east 
side  and  the  west  side,  still  prevalent  among 
some  of  our  older  residents,  gave  rise  to  ;i 
high  school  buildin.g  west  of  the  river  in  1887, 
where  the  name  "West  Side  Hi.gh  School" 
was  deeply  cut  in  stone  upon  the  front  wall. 
There  it  still  stands  today,  but  its  function  as 
a  high  school  long  ago  succtimbed  to  the 
law  of  the  "survival  of  the  fittest"  and  has 
lallen  to  the  lowly  state  of  a  grammar  school, 
taking  on  the  less  pretentious  name  of  "Broad- 
way School." 

F.ven  as  early  as  1892,  a  proposition  for  a 
township   Iiigh   school  was   submitted,  but   the

time  did  not  seem  ripe  till  almost  seven  years 
later  when  the  high  school  had  crowded  the 
grade  pupils  out  of  the  building  on  Chicago 
Street  and  even  utilized  the  halls  and  ward- 
robes for  class  rooms.  A  state  law  passed 
shortly  before  that  time,  regarding  the  es- 
tablishing of  township  high  schools,  reguired  a 
petition  signed  by  fifty  or  more  citizens  to 
submit  the  question.  A  petition  was  duly 
drafted,  submitted,  and  Siigned  by  the  requi- 
Siite  number  and  filed  on  February  21,  1899. 
Several  months  later  as  a  result  of  the  deci- 
sive vote  of  2,725  to  329,  the  Joliet  Township 
High  School  district  was  declared  established. 

Shortly  afterward,  the  citizens  of  Joliet  so 
generously  authorized  several  successive  bond 
issuesi  to  insure  the  selection  and  purchase  of 
a  hiigh  school  site  and  the  erection  of  a  suit- 
able building  upon  it  that  the  present  high 
school  building  was  completed  and  dedicated 
on  April  4,   1901. 

That  building,  characterized  by  Andrew  S. 
Draper,  President  of  the  Illinois  University 
as  "the  finest  high  school  building  in  Amer- 
ica," was  at  that  time  justly  considered  to  be 
a  super-structure.  With  its  marvelous  ar- 
rangement of  laboratories,  assembly  hall, 
library,  and  museum,  it  was  the  pride  of  the 
community.  The  wonderful  "breathing  appa- 
ratus" or  ventilating  system  and  the  spacious 


"arteries"  or  corridors  of  thiis  herculean  "pet" 
of  the  public  were  current  topics  of  discussion, 
but  to  us  who  know  it  better  much  is  amus- 
ing. 

We  cannot  imagine  an  office  barely  larger 
than  Dr.  Smith's  private  sanctuary,  especially 
on  a  Monday  morning  after  a  Friday  after- 
noon's "ditching  escapade."  Neither  could 
we  very  readily  become  accustomed  to  a 
gymnasium  of  a  size  of  old  329,  then  called  the 
"Basket-ball  room."  We  should  certainly  like 
to  have  seen  it  or  the  Juniors'  or  Seniors' 
room,  "both  being  designed  to  accommodate 
ALL  of  both  classes"  or  the  auditorium  which 
"with!  balcony  seats  comfortably  1500  people." 
We  prefer  not  to  meditate  on  their  idea  of  being- 
seated  "comfortably."  Certain,  it  is,  that  the 
seating  capacity  lacks  that  number  by  at  least 
five   hundred. 

In  ten  years,  the  high  school  liad  increased 
its  enrollment  from  little  more  than  125  to 
almost  600  and  had  more  than  doubled  its 
teaching  force.  No  sooner  was  the  new 
building  complete  than  its  growth  multiplied 
by  great  leaps  and  bounds,  so  that  five  years 
later  the  student  enrollment  had  grown  to 
1000  and  the  faculty  to   thirty-eight. 

This  growth  was  so  marvelously  rapid  that 
in  1915  it  necessitated  the  erection  of  an  ad- 
dition  on     Herkimer    Street    almost    half    the 


HIGH    SCHOOL.    1882 


size  of  the  original  liuiMiiit;.  Even  then, 
until  the  addition  of  1921-2J  somewhat  reliev- 
ed the  situation,  the  building  was  entirely  in- 
adequate. Besides  using  three  storage  rooms, 
several  wash  rooms,  the  women's  rest  room 
and  three  rooms  lighted  by  artificial  light 
only,  six  outside  buildings  including  churches, 
flat  buildings  and  an  ex-busincss  l.ilock  were 
also  pressed  into  service. 

With  the  completion  of  tlie  1921-22  addition, 
many  of  the  shops  were  moved  into  the  new 
building,  and  a  lunch  room  with  a  seating 
capacity  of  800  and  a  supplementary  lunch 
room  for  the  teachers  were  incorporated  on  the 
fourth  floor.  In  the  very  heart  of  the  build- 
ing a  new-  gymnasium  shines  forth  with  a 
seating  capacity  of  2,000  and  of  2,000  more  by 
placing  movable  seats  on  the  gymnasium 
floor  and  on  the  running  track  above,  thus 
creating  a  convention  hall  rich  in  acoustic 
properties.  Above  the  topmost  seat  of  the 
permanent  bleachers,  is  the  indoor  running 
track  of  fourteen  laps  to  tlu'  mile,  making  it 
one  of  the  largest  of  it'^  kind  in  this  section 
of  the  country. 

The  erection  of  the  last  million  and  one- 
half  dollar  addition  to  our  hiigh  school  has 
been  the  forward  step  to  the  realization  of  a 
dream  of  one  great  education  system,  directed 
by  one  group  of  executives  and  including  a 
comliination  of  academic  high  school.  Junior 
College,  night  school,  continuation  school, 
American.ization  school,  and  vocational  trade 
school. 

The  academic  high  school  has  grown  from 
a  struggling,  almost  unknown  institution  to 
one  of  national  reputation;  from  a  school  of- 
fering but  one  general  course  to  a  school  ofifer- 
ing  a  dozen  and  several  times  that  number  of 
variations   of   the   regular   courses    besides. 

Its  English  department  has  been  built  up 
to  include  in  the  majority  of  courses,  three 
years  of  required  English  with  electives  of 
English     or    American     Literature     or     Public 


Jspeaking  in  the  senior  year.  More  than  five 
hundred  students  are  taking  advantage  of 
the  foreign  language  study  which  is  directed 
by  a  corps  of  able  instructors.  The  mathe- 
matics department  ofi^ers  three  and  one-half 
years  of  w'ork,  including  commercial  arithme- 
tic, elementary  and  advanced  algebra,  plane 
and  solid  geometry  and  trigonometry.  Its 
departments  of  Home  Economics  and  Manual 
arts  both  ofTer  excellent  courses  of  the  most 
practical  value  to  students,  while  the  com- 
mercial courses,  established  soon  after  the  re- 
moval to  the  Jefifcrson  Street  building,  are 
preparing  scores  of  promising  stenographers 
and  book-keepers  for  the  business  world.  All 
students  are  required  to  take  Occupations  and 
Civics,  while  the  majority  must  take  a  year 
of  world  history  and  one-half  year  of  Ameri- 
can history.  Physical  education  is  neglected 
for  neither  boys  nor  girls,  both  being  pro- 
vided w'ith  a  suitable  gj-mnasium.  The 
Science  department  offers  several  one  and 
two  semester  chemistry  courses,  botany, 
zoology,  and  biology,  geography,  physio- 
graph}',  and   physics. 

As  early  as  1901,  special  advanced  courses 
in  some  of  these  sciences,  particularly  in 
chemistry  and  advanced  physics  were  estab- 
lished and  went  to  form  the  nucleus  of  the 
whole  Junior  College  movement.  These 
courses  were  follow'ed  by  others  in  higher 
mathematics,  including  geometry,  college  al- 
gebra and  several  additional  chemistry  cour- 
ses, literature  and  the  modern  languages. 
Within  the  next  few  j'ears,  the  Universities 
and  colleges  throughout  the  North  and  Middle 
West  were  accepting  students  from  the  Jun- 
ior College.  Its  name  was  officially  estab- 
lished six  j'ears  ago,  and  in  1920  the  work 
was  reorganized  on  a  more  complete  and 
sufficient  basis.  Since  then  its  prestige  has 
so  increased  that  it  has  been  recognized  by 
the  Central  Association  of  Secondary  Schools 
and    Colleges   as   a   successful   enterprise.

HIGH   SCH(K) 


Although  the  Junior  College  is  a  part  of 
the  high  school  to  the  casual  observer,  its 
work  being  conducted  in  the  high  school 
building,  it  has  its  own  assembly,  librarv  and 
student  regulations  offering  more  privileges 
and  greater  freedom  to  the  students  than  is 
possible  in  the  high   school. 

From  an  extended  chemistry  course,  the 
college  has  grown  to  include  courses  of  pre- 
commerce,  literature  and  arts,  insurance,  pre- 
medical,  pre-Iegal,  household  administration, 
teachers,  industrial  adminstration,  chemistry 
and  chemical  engineeriing,  electrical  engineer- 
ing, railway  electrical  and  railway  mechani- 
cal engineering,  railway  civil  engineering, 
municipal  and  sanitary  engineering,  and  mech- 
anical  engineering. 

Its  enrollment,  last  year,  showed  an  increase 
of  approximately  25  per  cent  over  that  of  the 
previous  year,  while  an  examination  showed 
that  about  one-fifth  of  the  enrolled  Freshmen 
were  non-resident,  coming  from  high  schools 
in  Lockport,  Plainfield,  Manhattan,  Morris, 
Providence,  Pontiac  and  Wilmington,  besides 
a  number  of  students  whose  families  have  be- 
come residents  of  the  city  in  order  to  take 
advantage  of  the  unusual  opportunities  offered 
for  securing  a  high  school  and^  Junior  College 
education. 

Our  night  school  is  a  miniature  resident 
type  of  those  glorified  correspondence  schools 
which  guarantee  to  double  your  salary  or  pro- 
mote you  from  chief  bottle-washer  in  the 
Snider's  Catsup  Works  to  the  President  of 
the  New  York  Central  in  thirty  days.  Our 
school  is  much  more  modest  in  its  claims, 
but  it  affords  a  chance  for  an  extended  meas- 
ure of  specialization  to  the  business  worker 
or  housewife. 

Most  of  the  students  enrolled  have  taken 
subjects  relating  directly  to  their  work  as  a 
manner  of  improvement,  and  as  a  result  the 
commercial  course,  mechanical  drawing,  and 
wireless  telegraphy  classes  have  usually  been 
overcrowded,  while  all  the  classes  in  the  do- 
mestic arts  have  been  surprisingly  well  filled. 

For  some  time  the  State  had  felt  the  need 
to  offer  a  part-time  extension  in  various 
branches   of  the   educational   field  to   those  of 


its  children  who  were  compelled  to  discon- 
tinue their  education  at  an  early  age  to  go 
into  the  industrial  world.  It  was  seen  that 
they  would  need  not  only  academic  work  but 
vocational  training  as  well,  to  better  fit  them- 
selves for  their  respective  industrial  pursuits 
and  for  their  places  in  society.  It  was  also 
found  by  experience  that  evening  schools  did 
not  fully  meet  the  need,  for  it  was  only  the 
older  and  the  most  energetic  and  ambitious 
of  the  workers  who  would  attend  school  after 
the  day's  work  was  finished.  Thus,  only  a 
few  were  affected  where  the  whole  mass  of 
the  children  from  14  to  18  years  were  expec- 
ted to  benefit,  and  it  was  realized  that  if  any- 
thing of  any  worth  at  all  was  to  be  accomplish- 
ed, attendance  must  be  made  compulsory  and 
the  time  spent  in  school  deducted  from  the  time 
spent  at  work  at  the  rate  of  eight  hours  per 
week  and  at  a  minimum  of  thirty-six  weeks 
each  year,  between  the  hours  of  eight  o'clock 
in  the  forenoon  and  five  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon on  all  regular  business  days  except  Sat- 
urday afternoon. 

So,  at  the  1919  session  of  the  Illinois  Legis- 
lature, two  laws  were  enacted  that  dealt  with 
part-time  or  day  continuation  schools.  In 
text  these  laws  were  elaborations  of  each 
other,  but  in  substance  they  provided  for  the 
gradual  inauguration  of  a  system  of  compul- 
sory part-time  schools  until  September  1921, 
but  not  to  be  outdone  by  six  other  cities  in 
the  state  which  had  already  established  or 
were  establishing  such  schools,  the  work  was 
started  in  Joliet  in   September,   1920. 

From  an  enrollment  of  seventeen  on  the 
opening  day,  the  continuation  school  has 
grown  to  include  the  part-time  education  of 
almost  600  students.  Besides  the  academic 
subjects  including  reading,  arithmetic,  spell- 
ing, language,  citizenship  and  geography  of 
which  all  students  are  required  to  take  four 
hours  a  week,  the  general  commercial  sub- 
jects including  shorthand,  bookkeeping,  type- 
writing and  rapid  calculations  are  also  offer- 
ed to  both  boys  and  girls.  Specialization  is 
offered  to  the  boys  in  the  industrial  subjects; 
machine  shop  practice,  auto-mechanics,  car- 
pentry, and  electrical  work,  while  the  girls 
are   offered   home   economics,   courses   in   sew-

At  present  three  buildings  near  the  High 
School,  the  May  Apartments  for  commercial 
and  academic  work,  the  Elwood  house  for 
economics,  and  the  Hacker  building  for  the 
shop  work  have  been  utilized  pending  the 
erection  of  further  additions  to  the  main 
building 

either  eveninir  classes  -.imihir  in  jiurposc  to 
those  of  the  day  continuation  school,  yet 
broader  in  practice,  are  those  conducted  in 
the  Americanization  school,  maintained  by 
Education.  Giving  to  those 
11  was  unfortunately  neglected 
life  and  ti>  our  foreign  born 
,ide  range  of  courses  including 
instruction  not  only  in  the  elementary  read- 
also  in  the  fundamentals  of  local,  state  and 
national  government,  it  has  becoine  an  impor- 
tant factor  in  the  educational  system  of  the 
city.  Owing  to  the  wide  range  in  the  mental 
development,  the  previous  education  and  the 
varying  ages  of  the  pupils,  it  has  been  neces- 
sarj'  to  divide  them  into  groups  beginning 
with  the  primary  studies  and  ranging  upward 
to  liistory,  geography  and  government.  This, 
however,  does  not  entirely  solve  the  problem 
for  the  teacher,  who  must  deal  with  scores  of 
distinct  personalities  from  perhaps  five  or  six 
different  countries.  The  greatest  task  is  to 
offer  besides  an  understanding  of  our  lang- 
uage and  customs,  a  welcome  to  their  adopted 
land,  America,  and  to  stress  the  need  of  a 
proper  respect  due  to  that  country  from  them. 

Attendance  at  this  school  and  diligent  ap- 
plication to  the  work  brings  the  students  a 
chance  more  quickly  and  easily  to  become 
real  American  citizens.  "Diplomas,"  issued 
to  those  who  pass  a  satisfactory  test  in  civics 
and  English  after  their  second  papers  have 
been  applied  for,  will  make  it  unnecessary  to 
take  an  examination  in  Civics  and  E'nglish  in 
the  Court  House  when  the  final  papers  are 
obtained. 


Through  the  first  term  of  this  school,  the 
enrollment  was  increased  from  170  to  325  and 
the  attendance  throughout  was  most  excellent, 
considering  that  many  of  the  men  worked 
ni.ghts  on  alternate  weeks  and  hence  were 
ing  and  writing  of  the  English  language,  but 
absent  almost  fifty  per  cent  of  the  tiine.  At 
the  completion  of  the  first  year's  work,  nine- 
teen men  were  presented  with  "Diplomas", 
while  thirty-nine  received  "Certificates  of  Ef- 
ficiency" which  may  be  applied  in  the  same 
manner  as  "Diplomas"  in  securing  naturali- 
zation papers,  with  the  exception  that  they 
may  be  applied  only  in  securing  the  "second 
papers." 

For  almosl  fifl_\"  years,  the  jiublic  schools 
in  nearly  all  of  the  larger  cities  of  the  country 
have  maintained  regularly  organized  voca- 
tional training  courses  in  connection  with 
their  ordinary  academic  courses,  but  although 
this  has  been  found  to  provide  very  valuable 
and  practical  training  in  the  manual  or  domes- 
tic arts,  it  has  not  been  sufficient  or  extensive 
enough  to  allow  any  student  following  such 
a  course  to  enter  into  any  particular  trade  im- 
mediately upon  graduation. 

It  was  felt  that  there  was  a  greater  need  for 
a  school  offering  purely  vocational  courses 
and  afifording  the  student  a  practical  prepar- 
ation in  his  chosen  vocation.  As  a  result 
such  a  school  was  established  within  our  own 
great  institution.  Its  students  are  as  much  a 
part  of  the  high  school  as  tliose  taking  the 
regular  academic  subjects  with  the  exception 
that  they  are  specializing  in  a  certain  chosen 
vocation  and  will  spend  an  avera.ge  of  three 
hours  a  day  upon  it. 

Practically  all  of  the  following  types  of  shop 
work  are  now  oflfered:  Machine  shop,  elec- 
trical shop,  atito  mechanics,  pattern-making, 
cabinet  making,  house  carpentry,  plumbing, 
sheet  metal  work,  printing,  and  mechanical 
and  architectural  drafting;  and  it  is  planned 
with   tuture   additio.ns  to   the   present  extensive

buildings  to  ofifer  more  complete  and  still  more 
differentiated   courses. 

A  manual  training  course  in  woodworking 
was  perhaps  the  fore-runner  of  the  whole 
vocational  system  of  our  school.  Such  a 
course  was  introduced  in  1910  and  met  with 
instant  approval  of  the  students.  It  grew 
rapidly  from  a  very  few  to  alinost  four  hun- 
dred students  and  so  far  exceeded  the  capa- 
city of  the  equipment  that  it  w-as  necessary 
to  incorporate  it  ,in  the  new  woodworking  de- 
partment of  the  vocational  school,  and  it  has 
come  to  include  courses  in  patternmaking, 
cabinetmaking  and   carpentry. 

The  plumbing  and  electrical  departments 
are  cooperating  with  this  department  in  the 
most  practical  kind  of  work  possible — the  ac- 
tual erection  of  a  modern  home,  the  installa- 
tion of  its  complete  plumbing  system  and 
finally  the  electrical  wiring  from  service  to 
fixtures.  The  mechanical  drawing  depart- 
ment, installed  in  large,  well  lighted  rooms, 
is  also  supplied  with  the  practical  designing 
of  various  kinds  of  equipment  used  about  the 
school  and  in  the  work  of  the  shops. 


The  machine  shops  and  the  automobile  de- 
partment are  building  the  best  of  foundations 
for  the  work  of  their  students  by  presenting 
actual  problems,  which  they  may  later  meet, 
for  class  solution. 

The  printing  department,  containing  that 
is  said  to  be  "the  most  complete,  up-to-date 
equipment  of  any  public  school  in  this  coun- 
try", has  already  exhibited  its  value  and  abil- 
ity in  the  production  of  our  school  magazines 
and  in  continuing  w-ill  afford  the  finest  prac- 
tice   to    its    fortunate    students. 

Thus,  from  an  obscure  existence,  scarcely 
fifty  years  ago,  has  Joliet  Township  High 
School  risen  to  a  position  among  the  foremost 
educational  institutions  in  the  courty.  From 
an  existence  as  of  a  minute  speck  of  propo- 
plasm  it  has  developed  into  a  complex  struc- 
ture of  many  "organs"  and  many  "cells"  and 
whether  the  cells  be  315  or  301,  you  might  be 
compared  to  an  insignificant,  yet  quite  neces- 
sary little  speck  of  protoplasm  within  its  cell 
world.     Now  then,  aren't   you  proud?

RDWIN  G.  ROB  I 
1875-1923 


3u  iHnnnrtam 


In  the  death  of  Mr.  E.  G.  Robb  on  March  ISth  the  l)oys  of  the  print  shop  lost 
an  exceptional  instructor  anci  a  true  friend,  and  the  Johet  Township  Hijjh  School 
lost  a  very  valuable  member  of  its  teaching  staff,  a  man  who  was  an  artist  as  well 
as  a  master  craftsman,  and  a  true  friend  as  well  as  a  teacher  of  higli  qualitw 

Mr.  Robl)  was  liorn  in  1875  in  Hamilton,  Canada,  and  served  his  apprentice- 
ship as  a  printer  with  the  Spectator  of  his  home  city.  Printing  was  his  life  work, 
and  he  served  in  that  capacity  with  a  number  of  well  known  companies;  The 
Journal,  St.  Thomas,  Canada;  K.  R.  Dcmnelly  iv  Sons,  Chicago;  Matthews,  Xorth- 
rup  of   Buffalo,   and  others. 

In  UU4  he  entered  the  employ  of  Dunwoody  Institute,  Minneapolis,  as  in- 
structor of  presswork,  later  becoming  head  of  the  printing  department.  In  ad- 
dition to  his  duties  as  an  instructor  he  was  editor  of  the  .Artisan,  the  Dunwoody 
school  paper,  a  position  which  he  filled  with  credit. 

Mr.  Robb  began  his  work  at  Joliet  last  September,  with  little  ec|uipment  and 
an  unfinished  building.  Thru  persistent  effort  the  present  print  shop  has  been 
evolved,  a  monument  to  his  ability  and  his  effort.  Xot  among  the  least  of  his  con- 
tributions was  the  service  freely  gi\en  to  the  "j"  staff.  Drawing  from  his  rich 
store  of  experience  as  a  craftsman  and  an  artist,  and  impelled  by  his  deep  personal 
interest  in  the  "J",  he  inspired  the  staff  to  a  vision  of  new  and  higher  ideals.  He 
was  here  but  a  short  time,  yet  his  influence  was  felt  thruout  the  whole  school  and 
now    remains   as   an    inspiration    in    our    memory.

^'S'j  stage    writing    a    letter.      She    rises    looking    at 

^.<>  her  watch.) 

■^y  Grandmother:     \\'ell   1   must  phone  for  that 

l;,(  appointment    with     the     hairdresser.      I     shall 

\\f  have   to  look  my  best  when   I   read  my  paper 

(,;  before    the    Woman's    Club    tomorrow.      (Goes 

0  back  to  desk.)     I  feel  very  well  satisfied  with 

'  my  paper  now  that  it  is  finished.     It's  such  a 

fresh  and  original  subject  (extends  paper.) 
"The  Shocking  Decadence  of  the  Morals  of 
the  Younger  Generation."  The  shocking  de- 
cadence of  the  morals  of  the  younger  genera- 
tion is  indeed  a  source  of  great  concern  to 
those  who  contemplate  it  from  a  sane  and' 
thoughtful  view  point  with  due  consideration 
for  the  future  welfare  of  our  nation.  Their 
manners    are    abominable. 

(Enter  Jean,  her  granddaughter,  disheveled 
and  dust\'  with  a  pilQ  of  dresses  in  her  arms, 
a  hat  sitting  dizz.ily  on  her  head.' 

Granddaughter:  So  thejf  are,  but  now  >'ou 
know  j'ou  don't  believe  it.  Saj',  may  I  use  this 
old  junk  for  the  Senior  play?  And  look  what 
I  found  when  I  was  digging  them  out.  Is  this 
a  year  book  when  you  went  to  high  school, 
and  what's  this  sloppy  looking  book?  And 
this  diary  of  yours.  It's  a  scream!  Just  listen 
to  this:  "Bernice  and  Roy  had  a  scrap  today. 
Bernice  is  broken  hearted  and  vows  that  she 
can  never  feel  the  same  again,  but  she  said  that 
four  times  in  the  last  month  and  so  it  will 
probably  be  all  right  by  tomorrow."  Xow 
isn't  that  funny! 

Grandmother:  ^^"hy,  that's  about  LeRoy 
Wilhelmi  and  Bernice  Lowery.  LeRoy  was 
a  very  popular  member  of  our  class.  He  was 
class  treasurer  in  the  Junior  year,  and  we 
elected  him  both  semesters  when  we  were 
seniors. 

Granddaughter:  But  oh  look  here!  "Oh, 
it's  so  heavenly  to  be  in  love.  He  has  the 
most  marvelous  ej'es,  and  his  smile" 

Grandmother:  That's  enough.  Let  me 
have  that  hook. 

Granddaughter:  (Looking  at  the  year  book) 
Oh,  for  heaven's  sake  is  this  scruldiy  lookin.g 
bunch  your  class  when  you  were  Freshies? 
vSonie    dumb   looking   bunch. 

Grandmother:  Well  we  may  look  dumb  to 
you  but  we  were  mighty  proud  of  ourselves. 
There  were  about  400  of  us,  and  we  were  an 
enthusiastic  crowd.  One  of  our  members  in 
writing  the  first  Freshmen  notes  for  the  "J" 
— that  was  our  school  paper — was  so  enthused 
that  he  indulged  in  a  flight  of  fancy,  and  said 
■ihat  the  Freshmen  had  more  ofificers  in  the 
R.  O.  T.  C.  than  any  other  class.  I  remember 
our  girls  lost  in  the  baseball  tournament  that 
year,  but  we  were  all  terribly  proud  of  the 
way  they  played. 

Granddaughter:  Only  one  baseball  tourna- 
ment in  a  year?'  A\  hy,  we  have  one  every 
week  until  the  basket  ball  season  begins. 
And  didn't  all  of  vou  plav  every  dav  like  we 
do- 
Grandmother:  No,  not  at  "that  time.  When 
I  was  in  high  school  girls'  athletics  were  com- 
paratively new,  and  not  nearly  all  the  girls 
participated,  but  when  I  was  a  Freshman  we 
organized  a  Girls'  Athletic  Association  which 
had  that  in  view.  A  great  many  of  our  Fresh- 
men   girls   joined    and    were   very   lively    mem- 


ers  1  he  a'.S(. nation  was  a  great  success. 
They  boosted  all  kinds  of  athletics  and  gave 
clever  parties.  One  year  we  had  a  Green- 
wich Village  Follies  and  another  a  Tack  and 
Jill  party,  and  we  all  dressed  in  little'gingham 
aprons.  Our  girls  were  very  enthusiastic 
about  basket-ball,  and  in  our  Junior  year  we 
wori  the  class  tournament.  \Vhen  we  were 
Juniors  \ye  had  soccer  too.  We  played  Lock- 
port,  which  was  a  small  town  then  and  not  a 
suburb,  as   now.     As   I   recall   we  won. 

Granddaughter:  "J"-Board  of  Control— why 
this  bunch  doesn't  look  like  it  could  control 
anything. 

Grandmother:  That  was  the  group  that 
managed  the  policy  of  the  "J."  I  remember 
in  our  Junior  year  we  had  ;.  .  our  representa- 
tives: Joe  Barr,  Flizabct!:  :...wver,  and  Billv 
Block. 

Granddaughter:  C;,-  ■■  !  I  suppose  you 
thought  it  would  be  ea.-y  to  make  a  board 
out  of  a   Block. 

(jrandmother:  Well,  it's  easier  to  make  a 
board  out  of  a  Block  than  out  of  a  block 
head.  Bill  was  our  first  representative 
in  athletics  too.  He  was  the  only  one 
of  our  felloAvs  that  made  the  football 
team  in  our  Freshman  year.  It  used  to 
embarrass  us  giirls  dreadfully  to  watch  him 
play  because  he  always  had  a  hole  in  his  sock. 
There  was  a  biqr  athletic  boom  during  our 
four  years.  We  23ers  always  thought  we  had 
a  lot  to  do  with  it.  There  were  always  more 
of  us  out  to  the  games  than  from  any  other 
class  and  our  fellows  made  a  good  showing 
in  every  sport.  In  our  Sophomore  year  nine 
of  our  fellows  made  the  football  team  and 
two  new  coaches  came  onto  the  scene,  and 
though  we  didn't  have  much  to  do  with  get- 
ting them  there  we  always  took  considerable 
credit  to  ourselves  for  being  there  at  the  same 
time  they  were,  because  they  certainly  helped 
to  wake  us  up. 

Granddaughter:  This  must  be  one  of  your 
illustrious  teams.  Good  heavens,  what  did 
they  put  on  their  hair? — it  must  have  been 
mucilage  to  .get  it  stuck  down  so  tight.  Don't 
they  look  sweet!  Did  they  take  time  out  in 
a  football  game  to  comb  it  down  slick  and 
when  they  played  basket-ball  did  they  have  to 
wear  hairnets? 

Grandmother:  (  )h,  patent  leather  uphols- 
tery v\'as  the  st\-le,  but  our  team  had  some- 
thing besides  their  hair  to  think  about  when 
they  were  playing.  '21,  that  was  our  Junior 
year.  Here  are  Liess,  Ashley,  Alberg,  and 
De  Jarld  and  Hill,  and  (Tardwell.  },!uschott  and 
Alaxwell.  Thej'  were  all  Juniors,  and  they 
were  a   hard  fighting  bunch: 

Granddaughter:  (Turns  page)  Was  this- 
your  basket-ball  team  that  same  year?  I 
guess  they  aren't  so  bad  lookin.g  even  if  they 
did  spend  their  spare  cash  on  mucilage? 
(Hands   to   grandmother.) 

Grandmother:  I  should  say  not.  More 
than  one  femiuiine  heart  did  gymnastics  in 
space  when  they  grabbed  the  title  from  Gard- 
ner in  the  tournament  that  year.  (Turns  the 
page)  And  this  was  our  flashy  baseball  teanr 
of  that  year. 

Granddaughter:  Oh,  isn't  he  a  cute  little 
fellow?     What  a  darling  grin! 

Grandmother:      Oh,   that's   Steve   Resan;  he 
was  cute.     It  was  always  a  sure  si.gn  of  Spring:

ATHLETICS 
Joliet  Higli  School  lias  at  last  reached  its 
standard.  The  school  and  town  fully  realize 
now  that  we  can  turn  out  just  as  good  a  team 
as  an}-  High  School  in  the  "Big  Seven"  and 
better.  Not  alone  that  we  can.  but  we  did,  and 
our  team  proved  it  both  on  field  and  court  by 
their  success.  The  students  and  townspeople 
also  showed  wonderful  support  by  the  number 
tliat  attended  games  during  the  football  and 
basketball  season. 

FOOTBALL 

It  is  the  odor  of  the  pig  skin  that  puts  blootl 
into  the  young  athlete's  eyes,  as  he  grasps  the 
oval  and  streaks  down  a  broken  field  20  to  30 
or  40  yards  for  the  winning  touchdown.  Not 
alone  that,  but  there  is  a  certain  magnetic 
power  attached  to  the  game  that  makes  any 
red-blooded  athlete  love  the  game.  This  game 
of  football  is  one  game  that  only  red-blooded 
athletes   should   play  and   not   loafers. 

Previous  to  last  fall's  football  season,  the 
Coach  could  not  say  with  effect  that  one  of  his 
boys  was  "loafing"  on  the  job,  for  the  youth 
knew  he  could  play  regardless  of  what  the  coach 
might  have  to  say,  for  there  were  no  sidjstitutes 
111  take  his  place.  However  through  the  Coach- 
es' efTorts  and  those  of  the  Rotary  Clubs,  a 
change  was  finally  brought  about.  They  made 
the  students  and  townspeople  realize  their  mis- 
takes and  managed  to  persuade  them  into  be- 
lieving and  feeling  that  Joliet  could  have  just 
as  good  teams  as  any  other  school  in  the  "Big 
.Seven."  The  reward  Avas  wonderful  to  be- 
hold, for  the  first  day  of  football  practice  saw 
84  candidates  in  uniform  on  the  field.  The 
.\ear  before,  five  players  reported  the  first  day. 
From  these  eighty-four  thirt\-five  were  selected 
to  form  the  heavy-weight  squad;  the  remainder 
were  left  to  the  light-weight  division.  Tt  was 
indeed  rather  pleasing  to  the  ci-aches  to  be 
alile  to  pick  their  teams  from  such  a  lar.ne 
number    of    boys. 

Limlblooni"— 24  Toliet--0 

Joliet's  first  game,  after  two  weeks  of  h.ird 
practice,  was  played  with  Lindliloom  High 
School,  one  of  the  best  high  school  teams  in 
Chicago.  Joliet  went  into  the  encounter  a  bit 
green  and  outweighed.  Lindbloom  ran  the 
score  up  to  24  to  Joliet's  0  in  the  first  half,  but 
in  the  second  half  Joliet  came  back  and  fought 
the  heavy  Chicagoans  scoreless.  Lindbloom  won 
the   game   24   to   0. 

Kankakee — 0  Joliet— 22 

-\fter  another  hard  workout  on  the  grid, 
Joliet  journeyed  to  Kankakee  for  another 
practice  game.  Kankakee's  field  was  a  bit 
rough  and  dusty.  Sand  storms  were  the  indi- 
cations that  another  Kankakee  man  was  bein.g 
downed,  or  another  Joliet  man  doing  the  100 
yard  dash  for  another  touch  down.  iBefore  the 
last  quarter  ended,  the  third  team  had  been  given 
a  chance  to  perform  and  also  succeeded  in  hold- 
ing the  Kankakee  warriors  scoreless.  The  .game 
ended  with  Joliet  far  in  the  lead  22  to  0. 
De    Kalb— 16  Joliet— 7 

The  following  Saturday  our  first  game  of  the 
"Big    Seven"    was    played    against    De    Kalb    on 


our  field.  J.iliet  iiiusi  have  been  all  ]in|-fcd  up 
over  the  game  at  llu-  "nutty  city"  for  they  did 
not  show  up  very  good  in  the  first  frav  and  be- 
fore they  knew  it  De  Kalb  had  16  points  to  their 
credit.  However,  in  the  last  quarter  Joliet  got 
the  spirit  and  pushed  over  a  pointer,  but  it  was 
too  late,  the  game  ended  soon  after  with  De 
Kalb  16  to  Joliet's  7.  This  was  the  li.ght's  first 
game.  They  showed  up  to  he  quite  clever  and 
speedy  though  some  of  the  plavers  were  ver\- 
light.  They  defeated  De  Kalb's  ponies  7-0. 
The  score  also  indicates  the  kind  of  game 
played. 

A  week  later  to  Rockford  Joliet  journeyed  for 
the  second  game  of  the  conference.  Rockford 
seemed  to  believe  in  old  traditions,  tor  they 
had  Joliet  fi.gured  out  to  be  the  weakest  team  in 
the  conference  and  were  all  set  for  a  walkawav. 
Our  ponies  slipped  over  a  fast  one  by  holding 
the  Rockford  team  scoreless  and  besides  plaved 
a  brilliant  game  and  Averc  for  the  best  of  the 
teams.  However,  the  necessary  weight  was  not 
there  to  push  over  a  touchdown.  The  second 
game  of  the  day  was  a  complete  surprise.  The 
Joliet  warriors  smashed  into  the  Rockford 
heavies  and  slackened  not  once  to  the  final 
w-histle.  The  Joliet  ends  smashed  the  running 
plays  centered  about  ^Nliltniore.  (the  fastest  man 
on  the  team)  ever\-  time,  and  went  down  on 
punts  in  good  shape.  Frank  Leiss  was  the  main 
co.g  on  the  left  side  with  his  partner  Laverne 
Dejarld  quite  his  equal  on  the  right.  Near 
the  end  of  the  first  half  the  Rockfords  succeed- 
ed in  edging  us  over  by  a  narrow  margin.  How- 
ever, the  fight  never  left  the  Gold'  and  Blue 
warriors,  for  on  the  kick  off  of  the  second  halt 
AJcGinnis  caught  the  ball  from  quarter  back 
position  and  with  the  aid  of  perfect  blocking  by 
his  teammates  he  succeeded  in  going  9.S  yards 
for  a  touchdown.  Corrie  failed  to  kick  the 
goal  which  still  left  Rockford  in  the  lead  7-6. 
During  the  rest  of  the  game  the  ball  changed 
hands  many  times  and  on  one  exchange  Jean 
Lordan,  the  little  halfback,  lioutted  the  oval 
for  80  yards,  one  of  the  best  kicks  made  in 
hi.gh  school  in  years.  The  ganu'  ended  witli 
Joliet  in  possession  of  the  ball  on  R'lck ford's 
territory — Rockford  the  winner. 

West  Aurora — 3i        Joliet —  fl  Heav\- 
West  Aurora —  0        Joliet— 2.t  Light" 

Then  another  week  of  mending  up  the  bruis- 
ed players  and  more  hard  work  in  preparation 
for  the  West  High  game  on  Joliet's  field. 

Our  lights  in  the  first  game  of  the  day,  romp- 
ed away  with  the  great  margin  on  the  West 
Boys.  They  completely  outplayed  the  fast  West 
High  in  every  branch  of  the  game,  Jim  Lordan 
running  for  big  gains  at  will.  The  second  game 
was  ver\-  different  indeed.  Besides  a  wet  field 
and  more  rain  occasionally,  the  Joliet  boj'S  did 
not  hit  their  studs.  Probably  the  previous  Sat- 
urday's game  made  them  a  bit  confident,  any- 
way  they    failed    to    come    thru. 

The  game  ended  with  West  High's  well  de- 
cided  victorv.     33-0. 

Freeport— 18  Joliet— 6   Heavy. 

Freeport  —0  Joliet— 7  Lights 

Now  for  that  Pretzel  vs  Ca.ge  boys  game. 
"No  time  for  rest  now,"  was  the  only  answer 
from  the  Coach  for  another  week.  "You  play- 
ed like  a  bunch  of  ostriches  with  your  heads 
in    the    sand   while    the    battle    ra.gcd   on." 

\\  ell,   in   came  the   Pretzels  and  were   unload-

ed  at  Richards  field.  They  were  determined, 
but  not  half  as  much  as  our  boys.  Our  hghts 
plaved  against  a  much  heavier  and  seasoned 
teain,  and  had  the  taldes  turned  sootier  in  the 
(fame  the  lohet  hovs  would  have  defeated  the 
Freeportcrs.  as  it  was  there  was  Init  a  two  point 
margin,     '>-/. 

A  few  moments  at  hitting  the  ihnnmy  anil 
then  to  hitting  the  real  stulT  w.is  the  heavies' 
program.  The  game  wa^  Joliet's  several  tunes, 
but'the  Tinx  must  have  been  left  in  for  when 
Joliet  had  but  a  yard  to  go  ne;ir  the  beginning 
of  the  game,  there  caiue  a  fumble  and  that 
seemed  lo  decide  the  victory.  There  had  1)een 
some  changes  in  the  lineup  which  seemed  to  Ije 
ett'ective,  but  things  seemed  to  go  against  the 
buvs.  The  game  was  won  on  forward  passes, 
loiiet,  however,  sc  .red  near  the  end  of  the 
game,  but  it  was  loo  late;  the  game  was  called 
on  account  of  darkness,  with  the  long  end  of 
the    score    belonging   lo   the    Pretzels,

The  lights  however  were  outplayed  and  fail- 
ed to  score  except  for  a  pass  intercepted  by 
SlnUhers,  the  speedy  back  field  man,  who  car- 
ried it  sixty-five  \ards  for  a  touchdown, 
Aurora  seemed  to  ha\  e  things  ^all  their  way 
however  and  won  Ijy  6  points,   lo-6. 

The  heavyweight  game  was  a  heart-breaker. 
The  teams  were  even  matched  and  of  about 
the  same  weight.  Joliet  time  and  time  ag:im 
threatened  to  score,  and  in  the  second  rpiarter 
Utter,  the  lightest  heavy  weight  end  in  the  con- 
ference, picked  up  a  fumble  ount  and  r;iu  over 
half    the    length   of   the    field    fur   Joliet's   touch- 


down. The  try  for  point  was  missed  by  a  few 
inches.  Ever\thing  now  seemed  to  go  our 
way  until  but  a  few  minutes  to  play  when  a  very 
doubtful  foul  was  called  which  resulted  in 
Aurora's  touchdown.  They  kicked  goal  with 
about  I'j  minutes  to  play.  The  end  of  the 
game  came  as  the  game  was  again  resumed,

Elgin  — h 
Elgin— 1,^ 

Kow   for   real 
traditions, 

Elgin    was    our    last    confi 
played  on  their  field. 

Our  lights  seem  to  adopt  our  heavies'  fancies 
of  letting  the  score  be  run  up  hefiire  the\-  woke 
up  and  as  a  result  they  lost  1)\-  a  6  point  mar- 
gin of  13  to  7, 

But  something  happened.  Our  heavies  cer- 
tainlv  redeemed  themselves.  At  the  beginning 
of  tlie  game  the  heavy  Elgin  thought  of  world 
desires." but  alas,  that  little  end.  Utter  scored 
again  bv  receiving  a  neatly  passed  ball  from 
Corrie,  who  also  made  the  try  for  point.  Joliet 
tackled  hard  and  viciously  all  through  the 
game,  -\s  the  game  came  to  a  close,  Elgin 
started  to  forward  pass  and  succeeded  in  catch- 
ing one  for  a  costl-  gain,  its  completion  due 
partly  to  darkness.  However,  a  few  minutes 
later  a  short  run  and  dive  netted  them  a  irarrow- 
Iv  gained  touchdown.  They  failed  the  try  for 
point  and  lost  the  chance  to  tie  the  score.  The 
game  ended  with  Joliet  the  possessors  of  7 
and  the  opponents  the  6  this  time, 

.\s  a  celebration  of  the  event,  the  "Jmx"  was 
burned  at  Richards'  field  the  following  Tuesday, 
It  certainly  seemed  to  be  a  success,  for  a  few

Thanksgiving  day  marked  Jolict's  last  .ganio  in 
which  8  heavyweights  were  goin.g  to  play  their 
last  game,  among  ihem  were  Captain  Harry 
Corrie,  Frank  Leiss,  Laverne  Dejarald,  Leigti- 
ton  Alberg,  Merideth  CardwelL  Leo  .McGinnis, 
Charles  Lewis  and  Leroy  W'ilhelmi. 

Tilden  Tech,  SchooL  one  of  the  strongest 
contenders  for  the  Chicago  Championship,  was 
to   lie   Joliet's    opponent   on   the   Turkey   da\-. 

The  teams  seemed  to  be  about  evenLv  matclied. 
lint  JoHet  tore  madly  through  them  time  and 
time  again.  Tilden  once  neared  Joliet's  goal 
and  tried  for  a  drop  kick  and  made  it  from  a 
brief  angle.  The  half  ended  Joliet'  0 — Tilden  3. 
The  second  half  was  carried  on  mostly  in  mid- 
field  until  near  the  close  of  the  game  when 
Joliet's  full  back  Cardwell  tore  through  for  a 
big  gain  and  was  stopped  but  3  yards  from  the 
goal.  On  the  next  play  Joliet  lost  the  ball. 
It  seemed  hopeless,  but  the  Tilden  bouter  was 
a  bit  slow  on  Joliet's  fast  ends,  for  one  reached 
the  kicker  and  blocked  the  kick  and  recovered 
the  ball  but  a  few  yards  from  the  goal.  In- 
juries, however,  forced  him  from  the  game,  but 
the  Joliet  team  received  new  life,  and  pushed 
over  a  touchdown  and  made  the  try  for  point. 
The  game  ended  with  Joliet  gaining  ground 
steadily  and  fast,  Joliet  winners  again  and  it 
was  the  last  .game  of  the  season  ;  7-j.

A   worthy   captain    served. 

Mert  Cardwell  as  a  plun.gin.g  full 

Smashing   many   an    alien    line. 

While    Lordan   playing   in   his   place 

As   punting   star  did  shine, 

Joe  Jeffry,  Corrie's  alternate 

With   honor   won   his   "J" 

While   Blotnick  and   .MeCinni.-, 

At    left    half    back    did    play,

Basketball,  1922-'23  Season 


at 


Earlville— 27  Joliet— 26 

The  Blue  and  Gold  basket  warriors  opened 
their  tossing  season  with  good  offensive  work. 
Tliey  held  the  lead  throughout  practically  the 
whole  game,  but  because  football  tactics  were 
not  quite  forgotten.  Joliet  fouled  again  sending 
Kossert  to  the  free  line  once  more,  and  the 
little  fellow  "put  it  through"  just  as  the  time 
keeper's  whistle  went  off  giving  Earlville  the 
game   by   a  26  to  27   score. 

JoHet— 16  Coal  Citv— 15   Light 

Joliet— 28  Coal  City— 10  Heavy 

By  December  29,  Joliet  had  hit  her  stride. 
The  heavies  gave  Coal  City  a  run  46-15,  while 
the  Lights  made  them  step  to  28  to  10,  after 
the  regulars  in  both  teams  started  the  sailing 
safe.  All  the  lightweight  and  heavyweight  re- 
serves were  given  a  chance  to  do  their  "bit"  in 
the   contest. 

Joliet— 15  Tdden— 13  Light 

Joliet — 13  Tilden —  7  Heavy 

The  Tilden  cage  men.  were  a  little  surprised 
when  both  our  Heavies  and  Lightweights  took 
the  game  of  December  30  awaj-  from  them. 
At  the  half,  the  lights  were  stepping  along  at 
fidl  speed  pointing  their  score  6  to  12.  Later 
in  the  game  the  Tilden  forwards  tried  to  hurr.\ 
it  up  a  little,  but  were  unable  with  the  peppy 
little  "guards"  the  lights  have.  So  once  more 
Joliet  Lights  copped  the  big  end  of  the  score. 

Our  rangy  tossers  annexed  another  winning 
to  their  list  b>"  a  13-7  score,  the  whole  team 
going  strong  as  a  result  of  good  coaching. 
Well,   Joliet   was   glad,  and   Tilden   a   trifle   mad. 

Joliet— 19  Englewood— 16  Light    '^ 

Joliet — 26  Englewood — 16  Heavy 

Chicago  must  have  had  a  jinx  in  their  pocket 
for  the  Blue  and  Gold  warriors  trounced  them 
every  time.  On  January  5,  Englewood  stepped 
down  for  their  share  of  defeat,  never  dream- 
ing of  it,  when  it  was  rumored  around  they 
were  going  strong  for  the  Chicago  league 
championship.  But  Cramer's  men  showed  up. 
ending  the  little  combat  with  a  26  to  10  victory 
although  the  game  was  hot  for  the  first  three 
quarters. 

The  lights  showed  up  b.\-  their  grand  defense 
and  basket  shooting,  making  the  game  one 
long  battle  all  the  way  through.  The  gong 
sounded  with  a  19-16  victory  for  our  ponies. 

January  12,  the  opening  of  our  conference 
season,  w-ith  the  gloom  of  making  up  tests  for 
the  quarter,  the  boys  started  for  the  north. 
Their  destination  was  a  "cracker  box"  gvm  at 
De  Kalb.  The  lights  started  the  fight  at  7:30 
o'clock,  but  they  couldn't  uplift  their  handicap, 
thereby  dropping  a  victory  to  De  Kalb  with 
21-9  score. 

Our  grand  heavies,  lost  their  adaptability  for 
small  spaces  that  night ;  toward  the  end  of  the 
game  after  the  score  19-20  in  our  favor.  De  Kalli 
hit  a  "hot  streak."  We  lost  the  game  with  a 
score  of  23-20. 

Joliet — 19  West  Aurora— 11  Light 

Joliet— 24  West  Aurora— 23  Heavy 

Ah,  Joliet  Fans,  will  you  ever  forget  the  night 
we  all  piled  over  to  West  .\urora  by  the  street 
car,  by  the  automobile,  and  "w-hat  not"  full 
Band  an'  everything?  The  Aurorians  met  our 
ponies  and  how  they  did  "rant  and  rage"  over 
that  floor  I !  Why  they  even  tried  a  whole  new 
team  on  our  little  men,  but  of  no  avail,  for 
the>    went   home  a   19-11   victory. 

And  how  Coach  Cramer's  boys  did  rage 
around  that  floor!     Why  it  looked  more  like  a 


football  game  than  a  basketball  game.  We  think 
Aurora  forgot  Joliet  also  shined  on  the  gridiron, 
and  no  rough  stuff"  would  affect  us !  However, 
the  game  ended  with  a  12-21  score :  so  then 
they  played  ten  minutes'  overtime,  and  right 
snappy  it  was.  Then  a  nice  one  was  trapped 
by  the  sturdy  hand  of  a  forward — BANG! 
went  the  gun,  and  our  tiger  like  men  pranced 
oft'  the  floor  with  a  24-23  victory. 

Johet— 11  Rockford— 28    l.iuht 

Joliet— 12  Rockford— 34   Heavy 

The  furniture  city  boys  invaded  Joliet  for  the 
first  home  conference  game.  The  well  seasoned 
lights  from  the  north  copped  the  first  game  by 
a  28-15  score,  their  center  starring  six  field 
goals. 

Don't  think  the  Blue  and  Gold  Heavies  didn't 
give  these  boys  a  run  in  the  first  half.  For 
they  held  them  10-9  in  Rockford's  favor,  but 
the  boys  could  not  keep  the  pace  set  by  the 
veterans  and  dropped  the  game  by  a  34-12 
score ;  Gleichman,  Kulberg  and  Behr,  veterans 
of  three  seasons,  did  their  share  of  scoring. 
Joliet— 29  Ottawa— 7  Heavy 

(  )n  January  27.  (Ottawa  leaders  in  the  Illinois 
\'alle\-  Conference,  were  our  ne.xt  victims.  The 
valley  boys  could  not  get  their  bearing  through- 
out the  game.  Joliet  was  in  perfect  order.  It 
was  a  one  sided  affair  in  the  second  half.  Then 
the  reserves  did  their  bit.  The  final  score  being 
29-7   in   our   favor. 

Lindbloom — 10  Joliet — 16    Light 

Lindbloom — 16  Joliet — 21    Heavy 

From  the  southern  section  of  Chicago,  Lind- 
bloom. a  fast  team  journeyed  down  for  a  twin 
bill  with  our  tossers.  Our  lights  came  out 
victorious  because  they  led  their  opponents 
throughout  the  game,  and  because  our  star 
guard  held  Witaskas.  rated  as  one  of  the  fast- 
est floor   men   in   the    Chicago  league. 

Heavies  put  over  a  pretty  snappy  game,  be- 
cause Cramer  changed  the  lineup  causing  the 
score  to  tie  11-11,  but  wdien  it  was  changed  back 
all  went  well,  causing  Joliet  to  put  up  another 
victory.  21 -It). 

Joliet— 31  Blue  Island— 6  Heavy 

Cramer's  men  then  met  Blue  Island  the  im- 
defeated  team  in  the  Chicago  suburban  league. 
However,  the  Blue  and  Gold  had  an  easy  time 
of  it  from  start  to  finish.  Their  plays  went  off" 
to  a  "tee,"  by  the  half,  we  were  leading  24-2. 
In  the  third  quarter  the  reserves  entered  mak- 
ing  the    final   score   31-6. 

!•:.  .\urora— 12  Joliet— 24    Light 

E.  Aurora —  8  Joliet — 24  Heavy 

Then  E.  Aurora  journeyed  over,  and  we  just 
had  to  treat  them  rough.  The  ponies  were  in 
great  form,  getting  a  good  lead,  keeping  it, 
causing  the  score  to  end  with  us  owning  the 
big   share,    12-24. 

Then  the  Heavies  pranced  on  them,  Cramer's 
men  were  not  to  be  stopped,  so  out-played  the 
visitors  to  a  frazzle.  The  forwards  were  assist- 
ed in  basket  tossing  by  one  of  the  guards  who 
h.it  his  stride  that  night.  E.  Aurora  went  home 
that  night  with  a  8-24  defeat. 

W.  Aurora— 12  Joliet— 18  Heavy 

W.  .\urora  -wasn't  satisfied  with  their  first  de- 
feat by  the  Blue  and  Gold.  They  were  sure 
if  they  had  a  return  game,  they  w-ould  show  us, 
so  again  came.  Fletchers'  heavyweights  had  a 
good  game;  they  gave  our  five  a  nice  snappy 
game,  but  our  forwards  were  strong,  and  the 
guards  firm,  with  the  result  the  W.  Aurora 
hopes   fell  again  with  a   12-18  score.

SECTIONAL  TOURNAMENT 

The  Sectional  Tournament  took  place  March 
9  and  10,  and  it  was  during  this  tourney  that 
all  Joliet  realized  that  a  new  spell  was  cast  over 
Joliet  people  over  athletics.  Real  fight,  cour- 
age, and  that  never  give  in  spirit  predominated 
from  the  time  our  warriors  entered  the  floor, 
till  they  came  off  either  in   victory  or  defeat. 

W.  Aurora— 14  Joliet— 17  Heavy 

Friday  afternoon  after  school,  with  the  gym 
crowded  with  enthusiastic  support,  the  Blue  and 
Gold  entered  against  Fletcher's  crew  for  the 
third  time  of  the  season.  The  game  was  a  fast 
orie,  but  Joliet  could  not  be  downed;  she  forg- 
ed on  ahead.  Her  forwards  responding  to 
chance.  Her  guards  ever  alert,  as  a  result 
Joliet  came  out  victorious  in  her  first  game  of 
the  Tourney. 

Elgin— 12  Joliet— 17    Heavy 

Our  second  game  called  Saturday  morning  at 
9  :30  o'clock.  Some  were  a  little  frightened,  for 
the  Elgin  Cagemen  had  trimmed  us  once  and 
what  now?  Again  the  gym  was  jammed,  and 
again  the  fighting  warriors  pranced  on,  with  a 
spirit  to  do  or  die.  Elgin's  scoring  guard  was 
guarded  so  close  he  didn't  know  what  struck 
him.  With  this,  Elgin  was  lost,  and  the  Blue 
and  Gold  w-as  going  hot  and  strong,  the  score 
at  the  half  being  14-7.  In  the  next  half  Elgin 
managed  to  score  5  points  but  that  was  not 
enough — Joliet  was  again  winner   12-17. 

Rockford— 15  Joliet— 10    Heavy 

Over  4,000  people  crowded  into  the  gym  to 
watch  the  semi-finals  of  the  state  basketball 
championship.  The  gym  was  just  one  pan- 
demonium of  noise.  Joliet's  w"arriors  entered 
that  big  g;ame  Saturday  night  with  an  aljsolute 
will  to  win.  And  it  showed  up  for  when  the 
quarter  gun  sounded,  Joliet  was  leading  5-2. 
She  was  fighting  and  holding  out  against  that 
giant  and  brutal  force.  Then  costly  personal 
fouls  gave  Rockford  points,  but  Joliet  clung  to 
the  lead.  The  strong  guarding  of  Joliet,  again 
and  again  broke  up  the  Rockford  combinations, 
when  the  half  gun  sounded  we  were  still  in 
the  lead  6-4. 

Joliet  tried  to  keep  the  ball  in  the  center  of 
the  floor,  knowing  Rockford  was  a  short  pass- 
ing team.  When  the  second  half  started  the 
terrible  pace  was  telling  on  our  team,  and 
Rockford  sensing  victory  was  ready  to  strike 
the  fatal  blow.  .Another  basket  loliet  in  lead 
8-4. 

Then  came  a  series  of  heart  breaking  events. 
Foul  on  a  guard,  and  then  another  foul.  Joliet 
leading  b.v  only  one  point.  Then  a  basket  for 
Rockford,  they  held  the  lead  for  the  first  time 
after  nearly  three-quarters  of  play.     Score  9-8. 

Long  shots  were  tried  by  our  forwards  but 
missed.  Then  the  Rockford  players  fought 
down  the  floor.  Joliet's  smaller  players  were 
exhausted.  In  the  last  few  minutes  of  play 
the  giants  of  Rockford  won  their  game.  Score 
15-10.

THOSE  HE.AVIES 

A'ou've  heard  of  their  fame 

And  the   marvelous   game 

They  played  through  the  whole   of  the   season. 

For   "Peanuts"   Girard 

Was   a  wonder   at  guard 

With  Corrie  at  pivot  position  ; 

While   "Jocko"   and   "Mac" 

Led  the   attack 

And  Leroy  smashed  up  plays  with  decision ; 

Troughton   at   center. 

The  .game  oft  w'Ould  enter 

And   kept   up   his   end   cf   the   play. 

And   Blotnick  at   guard 

Fought  loyally  and  hard 

For  the  team   in  a   captainly  way. 

Keeley  though  new 

Sunk  quite  a  few 

Whenever   he  got   in   the   fracas; 

With  their  sw-ift  winning  ways 

And   keen   clever  plays 

Alighty  few  are  the  teams  that  excel  us.

To  an  ijuUi.lcr,  LeRoy  WilhcliuiV  rise  into 
a  place-  of  kadcrsliip  in  our  scliool  may  sccni 
like  that  of  a  mushroom  springing  up  in  a 
night,  but  to  those  of  us  who  have  had  the 
privilege  of  sympathetic  observation  it  is 
rather  the  splendid  growth  of  the  slender  sap- 
ling into  the  sturdy  oak.  For  two  years  we 
knew  him  only  as  a  rather  retiring,  brainy 
chap,  leading  the  honor  roll,  and  outstanding 
only  in  his  classes  where  keenness  of  percep- 
tion and  efficient  use  of  an  extraordinary  na- 
tive intelligence  marked  him  as  one  of  those 
who  excel  in  the  group.  Coming  out  for  basket 
ball  in  his  Junior  year,  his  steady,  deter- 
mined efforts  soon  won  him  a  place  on  the 
reserve  squad.  A  wonderfully  retentive  mem- 
ory and  constant  alertness  made  him  an  apt 
candidate,  and  by  the  end  of  the  season  he 
had  done  his  share  in  the  goodly  number  of 
games.  In  baseball,  previous  experience  made 
his  showing  more  lirilliant.  It  was  immedi- 
ately evident  that  he  had  "a  good  arm,"  and 
throughout  the  season  his  pitching  was  of 
high  order  as  was  his  work  in  other  depart-  • 
ments  of  the  game  also.  The  opening  of  the 
football  season  found  him  with  an  established 
reputation  as  an  athlete  but  no  experience  in 
that  sport.  The  same  determination  and 
keenness    that    so    early    won    for    him    a    place 


on  the  basket  squatl,  placed  him  in  a  wing 
position  where  the  speed  and  drive  and  bril- 
liancy of  his  playing  caused  fans  and  critics 
to  acclaim  him  as  "one  of  the  best  ends  that 
ever  represented  the  blue  and  gold."  His 
second  season  at  basketball  showed  him  to  be 
a  guard  whose  superior  it  would  be  hard  to 
find  'in  high  school  circles;  and  it  will  take 
many  years  to  erase  from  the  memory  of 
Toliet  fans  some  of  the  thrills  he  furnished 
for  them.  In  ihe  absence  of  baseball  this 
spring  lie  went  out  for  track.  It  is  probably 
sufficient  indication  of  his  ability  in  this  sport 
to  state  that  in  his  first  meet  he  bettered  the 
conference  record  for  the  javelin  throw  by  thir- 
teen feet  and  one  inch  besides  showing  up 
well    in   other   events. 

Aside  from  the  record  of  the  participation 
in  athletics  the  list  of  his  activities  is  longer 
than  that  of  the  average  student.  He  has 
consistently  maintained  a  place  on  the  honor 
roll  for  four  years,  and  has  an  average  of 
eighty-five  for  this  year.  He  is  president  of 
the  Senior  class  and  of  the  Blue  and  Gold 
Clul>.  a  member  of  Ihe  Boys'  Chorus  and  the 
ITigh   School   Glee  Club  for"  which  he  last   year

RAY  RAFTZR 


Ray  Rafter,  Joliet's  lightweight  honor  ath- 
lete is  one  of  those  men  whose  excellent  per- 
formances in  all  lines  are  accomplished  with 
such  quiet  efficiency  and  modesty  that  they 
are  not  always  fully  appreciated.  His  en- 
trance into  high  school  athletics  occurred  last 
year  when  he  reported  for  track.  He  early 
showed  promise  of  greater  things.  In  the 
fall  he  came  out  for  football  where  his  fight 
and  determination  soon  made  him,  in  the 
phraseology  of  one  of  his  team  mates,  "one 
of  the  most  dangerous  ends  playing  confer- 
ence football."  Always  playing  a  steady,  con- 
sistent fighting  game  rather  than  one  of  oc- 
casional and  publicity-attracting  flashes,  he 
was  one  of  the  most  important  members  of 
the  team.  Because  of  this  very  consistency 
it  is  probable  that  the  student  body  as  a  whole 
did  not  give  him  the  praise  and  esteem  due 
him;  but  it  is  apparent  that  his  fine  ability 
was  appreciated  by  the  men  who  teamed  with 
him  for  they  have  elected  him  captain  for 
next  year.  The  leadership  of  a  man  of  Raf- 
ter's character  and  fighting  spirit  materially 
adds  to  the  prospects  for  next  season.  His 
playing  on  the  lightweight  basket  ball  team 
was  of  high  order  and  of  much  the  same 
character  as  his  work  in  football.  He  was 
ever  a  man  on  whom  coaches  and  rooters  de- 
pended to  meet   and   conquer   every   changing 


demand  of  the  game.  Again  he  did  not  re- 
ceive all  the  honor  that  should  have  been  ac- 
corded, for  his  never  wavering  spirit  and  high 
standards  of  play  cannot  be  praised  too  highly. 
In  track  his  showing  is  splendid,  his  time  m 
the  440  sprints  proving  him  one  of  the  best 
men  over  that   distance  in   the   conference. 

His  dependable  loyalty  is  manifest  not  only 
on  field  and  court  but  in  class  room  and  in 
friendship  as  well.  He  has  been  on  the  honor 
roll  his  entire  three  years;  and  he  is  at  pres- 
ent a  member  of  the  Student  Teacher  Coun- 
cil. He  coached  the  Freshman  basket  squad 
and  is  always  a  loyal  supporter  of  school  en- 
terprise. He  is  of  course  a  member  of  the 
Blue  and  Gold  Club  and  was  a  sponsor  for 
visiting  teams  during  the  tournament  of  this 
year.  "  He  has  maintained  an  average  of 
eighty-six  and  a  fraction  for  this  year's  work. 
Only' in  his  junior  year  he  has  probably  not 
reached  the  Zenith  of  his  ability  as  athlete  or 
leader,  and  Joliet  High  is  fortunate  in  having 
him  among  her  returning  students.  His  un- 
assuming attitude,  his  good  sportsmanship 
and  fine  co-operation,  his  loyalty  as  friend 
and  teammate  and  his  determination  and 
fighting  spirit  make  him  a  most  worthy  re- 
cipient of  the  name  of  honor  athlete  and  a 
man  whom  we  are  proud  to  claim  as  a  fellow 
student.

YELL    LEADERS 


Girls'  Athletic  Association 


We  have  come  to  the  close  of  an  exceptional- 
ly successful  year  for  the  Girls'  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation. A  suimuary  of  our  activities  and  good 
times  would  l)e  merely  a  song  of  praise  and 
glory   for  our  illustrious   organization. 

Earh'  last  fall  about  seventy  aspiring  hocke\' 
and  soccer  players  reported  for  practice;  but 
owing  to  the  fact  that  it  was  impossible  to  get 
permission  to  use  the  Richards  Street  Field  all 
their  dreams  of  prowess  vanished,  and  their  air 
castles  w  ere  shattered  to  the  ground. 

Basket  ball  practice  began  with  ihe  opening 
of  the  new  semester  in  January.  One  hundred 
twenty-five  .girls  turned  out  to  do  honors  for 
their   classes. 

Girls'  Basket  Ball  tournaments  have  always 
been  successful  in  J.  T.  H.  S..  but  no  tourna- 
ment has  >  et  been  staged  which  could  hold  a 
candle  to  the   1923   tournament. 

The  Juniors,  true  to  tradition,  copped  the 
honors  of  iirst  place  by  eliminating  the  Seniors 
in  a  one-sided  .game,  the  score  of  which  was 
33-15.  and  then  disposing  of  the  Sophomores  by 
a    count   of    16-14. 

The  Seniors  endeavored  to  <'lface  their  in- 
jured dignity  by  trampling  on  the  toes  of  the 
innocent  Freshmen.  This  score  was  32-S.  Af- 
ter this  game  the  Seniors  felt  enou.gh  confidence 
in  themselves  to  warrant  the  risk  of  challeng- 
ing the  Sophomores  for  second  place,  as  the 
score  of  the  Freshmen  game  was  onl.\-  25-11  in 
favor  of  the  Sophomores.  However,  the  under- 
classmen didn't  see  fit  to  accept  the  above  chal- 
lenge and  therefore,  there  is  still  a  difference  of 
opinion  concerning  second  place. 

The  baseball  recruits,  one  himdred  forty  in 
all,  are  doing  fine  and  the  annual  class  base- 
ball ccutest  is  scheduled  for  the  later  part  of 
"Slay  or  the  first  of  June. 

Our  tennis  tourney  is  also  due,  aiul  will  be 
staged  as  soon  as  our  courts  have  been  thor- 
oughly overhauled   and  repaired. 

Besides  these  athletic  affairs  we  had  a  great 
many  social  successes.  On  November  26  of 
last  fall  we  had  a  party  to  welcome  in  the 
new  Freshmen.  It  was  held  in  the  Girls'  Gym 
and  as  popcorn  balls  and  taffy  apples  were 
served  we  were  all  very  sticky,  as  well  as  hap- 
py when  we  departed  for  our  respective  abodes. 

December  12  was  the  date  of  our  annual 
Mother  and  Daughter  Tea.  It  was  at  this  en- 
joyable affair  that  we  chose  our  Sponsors. 
Thev  are  as  follows  :  Mrs.  .Sawvcr,  Mrs.  Barr, 
Mrs.   Carter,   Airs.   Hill,   and   Mrs.  Weeks. 

The  first  party  given  in  1923  was  arranged  by 
the  Sophomores.  The  Sophomores  saw  to  it 
that  we  had  a  good  time. 

And  then  our  BIG  PARTY  was  announced 
for  .-\pril  6.  True  to  traditirn  this  part\-  -vvas 
one    of   the    biggest    events    of    the    school    \-ear.

How  everyone  locked    forward  to  that  party! 

As  usual  the  G.  A.  A.  Dance  was  "some 
thing  different."  It  was  a  Jack  and  Jill  al'fair. 
We  had  a  record  crowd,  'rhe  girls  all  looked 
exceptionally  pretty  in  sunbonnets  and  aprons, 
while  the  boys  looked  rather  foolish  and  coun- 
trified in  their  overalls  and  slr.iw-  bats.  The 
programs  looked  like  \\  i  oil  pails.  Imt  wni- 
really  paper.  The  frapjie  was  scived  in  tm 
cups  by  the  original  Jacks  and  Jills,  .\nini.il 
crackers  and  lolly-peps  were  iiuicii  in  e\  idenee 
throu.ghout  the  evening. 

We  don't  wonder  that 
to  G.  A.  A.  parties.  In  f 
if  they  didn't. 

The    Illinois   League   of 
ciations    met    in     Highland     Park.    Chici 
.April    13.     The  Joliet   representatives  wei 
Phoebe    Ann    Henderson    and    .Mar>     Barr,    our 
local    president. 

The  conference  was  for  the  purpose  of  elect- 
ing officers  for  the  League.  Mary  Barr,  Joliet, 
was  elected  president.  The  Vice  President  is 
Miss  Pauline  Knapp  of  DeKall),  The  Secre- 
tary-Treasurer  is    Miss    Elizabeth    Waterman. 

Supt.  Smith  was  unanimously  elected  on  the 
Board  of  .Advisers,  while  Mrs.  Richard  J.  Barr 
is    the    other    adviser    from    Joliet. 

Right  now  the  matter  of  greatest  iinimrtance 
is  the  G.  A.  A.  Camp.  Everyone  is  talking  ni 
it   and   hoping  for   a   chance   to  go. 

The  Illinois  League  of  High  School  Girls' 
Athletic  Association  had  their  camp  last  year 
at  the  Bowen  Country  Club,  which  is  aliout 
three  miles  from  Waukegan,  and  a  mile  and 
a  half  from  the  lake.  There  are  two  pretty 
cottages,  which  are  used  for  dormatories,  and 
one  large  dining  hall.  There  is  also  another 
hall  for  plays,  or  parties  and  dancing.  About 
fifty  yards  froiu  the  cottage  there  is  a  large 
artificial  sw'imming  pool.  The  grounds  are 
covered  with  beautiful  gardens,  and  woodlands 
in   a    deep    ravine. 

And  did  we  have  fun  at  campr  Well,  we 
sure  did!  There  w-ere  groups  of  girls  from 
several  different  schools,  and  each  school  gave  a 
stunt.  One  gave  a  masquerade,  another  a  play 
which  was  loads  of  fun.  Then  a  wienie  roast 
on  the  beach  was  given  ;  but  when  Joliet  girls 
gave  their  stunt  they  surprised  them  and  gave 
a  ride  on  the  lake  in  a  motor  boat. 

Every  day  there  were  long  hikes,  swimmin.g, 
baseball  and  everything  an  athletic  girl  en- 
joys. We  even  took  a  trip  to  Zion  City!  Then 
on  the  sly  there  were  candy  pulls,  fudge  parties, 
and  pillow  fights  galore. 

The  camp  will  be  at  the  same  place  this  year, 
and  if  you  are  a  G.  A.  A.  member  and  want  to 
have  a  rousing  good  time  for  a  whole  week, 
i\'  n't   fail   to  come  ! 


BY  AN   ENGLISHMAN 


Football   is  a   nawsty  game 
Indulged  in  by  the  tough  ; 
Thev  hit  each  other  in  the  face 
Which  makes   the   sport  quite   rough 
They  tackle  men  they've  never  met. 
And  try  to  snatch  the  ball 
When  the  other  team  is  visiting 
It  isn't  fair  at  all. 
The  quarterback's  a  clever  chap 
He  knows  the  plays  by  heart. 


.And  when  he  whispers  one,  two,  three 

Away  the   fellows   start. 

The  referee  is  paid  a  fee 

For  wearing  long  white  pawnts 

If  he  should  ever  reason  wrong 

-He'd  not  have   hawlf  a   chawnce. 

Despite  the  rudeness  of  the  game 

I   swear   it's   awful    fun 

-And  jollv  well   I'm  .going  again 

To  see  just  how  it's  done.

CLASS    HISTORY— Continued  from  page  22 

when  Stevt  hud  a  new  sirh  W  ilhchni  and 
Kocrner  were  from  our  cUiss  too,  and  it  cer- 
tainly was  a  good  team.  They  won  all  hut 
tine  game  that  year. 

Granddaughter:  (Laughing)  "Round  as  a 
ring  that  ha.s  no  end;  such  is  my  love  for  you 
my  friend."  What  a  loving  and  original  seuli- 
nient.  "In  your  long  chain  of  friendship  re- 
gard me  as  a  link."  How  noole!  "A  chain 
i-  as  strong  as  its  weakest  link."  Oh,  I  could 
write  a  poem  about  that — golf  links,  cuff  links, 
winks,  thai  rhymes;  sinks,  thinks,  blink^, 
kinks.  Ah — In  your  chain  of  friendship  links, 
think  of  me  as  one  of  the  kinks — let's  see 
what  else   rhymes:   ininx,  ginks,  jinx. 

Grandmother:  "Jinx,"  that  reminds  me  of 
the   hilarious   time    we   had   burning   ours! 

Granddaughter:  A  hunch  of  .ginks,  they 
burned   their  jinx. 

Grandmother:  We  certainl\-  liurned  it.  ll 
was  almost  uncanny.  We  had  lost  every  game 
of  the  season  but  a  couple  b\'  only  one  point. 
The  team  was  practically  all  seniors,  and  we 
felt  so  badly  about  it  because  we  wanted  them 
to  have  a  winning  season  the  last  year  they 
could  play.  Then  our  luck  changed,  and  we 
won  a  game.  When  the  fellows  came  home 
we  had  an  assembly,  and  that  night  we  had 
a  parade  and  a  big  bonfire  down  at  the  field 
and  burned  our  duminyfied  bad  luck.  From 
that  time  on  you  couldn't  stop  us. 

Granddaughter:  What's  this'  Helen's  curl! 
Were  j'ou  in  the  habit  of  choppin.g  oflr  each 
other's   hair? 

Grandmother:  That's  Helen  Gallinger's, 
She  was  Battalion  Sponsor  in  our  last  ye;ir. 
In  fact,  the  girls  from  our  class  were 
most  popular  with  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  In  our 
Senior  year  Avace  Treharne,  Bernice  Lowerv. 
and  Helen  Gallinger  were  sponsors,  and  in 
our  Junior  year  they  chose  Mary  Benson,  Lois 
Rlatt  and  Margaret  Kallman.  Betty  Sawyer 
was  honored   as  a   Sophomore. 

Granddaughter:  \Vhat  was  this  R.  O.  T. 
C?     The  Royal  Order  of  Timid   Cadets? 

Grandmother:  The  only  time  they  were  tim- 
id was  when  they  were  .getting  dates  for  their 
annual  dance.  It  really  meant  Reserve  Offi- 
cers Training  Corps,  and  was  a  branch  of  the 
regular  army.  Ours  was  the  first  class  to 
complete  the  four  years  of  training,  and  we 
boasted  more  officers  than  any  other  class  in 
school. 

Granddaughter:  Are  these  favors  from 
your  parties? 

Grandmother:  Yes.  we  always  had  one  or 
two  nice  parties  each  ye;ir.  These  are  from 
our  Sophomore  party.  That  was  our  first  big 
social  event,  and  we  were  all  excited  over  our 
"dates"  and  new  dresses.  We  had  a  .gorgeous 
Junior  party  at  Christmas,  and  our  Junior 
Senior  from  was  a  great  success.  It  was  the 
last  party  we  had  in  the  old  Richards  St.  gym 
and  it  was  a  gay  affair,  for  the  w-hole  gym 
was  a  fairy  garden  of  red  and  ^^•hite  poppies. 
In  the  new  gym  we  never  had  decorations, 
but  the  Seniors  managed  to  have  a  jolly  time 
without   them. 

Granddaughter:  "The  .Adoration."  What 
was  that? 

Grandmother:  That  was  the  Christmas 
cantata  that  was  given  by  the  High  School 
Chorus.  Two  of  our  seniors,  Willard  Gray- 
hack  and  George  Perkins  warbled  like  night- 
ingales in  the  solo  parts,  and  there  were  a 
great  many  of  us  in  the  chorus. 


Granddaughter:      It   nuist  li.uc   been   delicht- 
ful   to   belong   to   an     organization     where     \iiu 
could  learn    to   sing   your  own   praises 

Grandmother:  Oh  ye~.  indeed'  And  be- 
sides that,  there  were  a  number  of  -.i  nior 
members  in  the  band  leaiuing  to  toot  their 
own  horns.  .And  there  were  others  in  the 
Orchestra  who  always  furnished  a  fitting  ac- 
companiment  for  our  little   songs. 

Granddaughter:  Why,  here's  an  autograph 
in   French  signed  ^lary  Weeks. 

Grandmother:  Yes,  we  had  a  thriving 
French  Club,  and  Mary  wa^  president  in  our 
Senior  year.  In  fact  all  tlie  officers  were 
Seniors.  Frances  Forbes  was  an  efficient  sec- 
retary, and  Lois  Alae  Blatt  gracefully  served 
as  vice  president. 

Granddaughter:  WJiat's  this'  "Roses  are 
red.  violets  aro  blue,  my  hair's  red  and  your; 
il   too!" 

( irandmolher :  I  remember  Carl  Brann 
wrote  that  in  there.  He  was  vice  president 
the  first  semester  of  our  Senior  year.  Our 
Senior  officers  were  noted  for  their  brilliancy 
of  both  the  inside  and  outside  of  their  cran- 
iunis.  for  that  same  semester  our  treasurer  was 
Jean  Lordon  whose  hair  was  almost  as  vio- 
lent as  Carl's.  Loretta  Metheny,  our  secre- 
tar\-.  while  not  endowed  with  such  brilliant 
exterior  decoration  made  up  for  it  by  interior 
brilliancy.  In  the  second  semester  we  still 
had  Jean  to  light  our  path,  this  time  as  vice 
president.  The  .girls  were  represented  by 
Edna  Schmelzer  as  secretary,  and  Harold 
Shingler   was   treasurer. 

(iranddau.ghtcr :  Didn't  you  have  a  presi- 
dent .' 

GrandmoMier  :  Goodness.  >"es.  That  was 
LeRiiy  Wilhelmi.  He  was  a  star  in  every- 
thing. He  was  not  only  our  president  but 
the  president  of  the  Blue  and  Gold  Club  as 
well. 

(irauddaughler :  Why.  what  was  that? 
Grandmolher:  The  Blue  and  Gold  Club'' 
That  was  a  club  for  the  fellows  who  had  wo-i 
their  letter.  They  tried  to  promote  .good 
sportsmanship  in  every  direction  and  had  a 
great  deal  to  do  with  giving  our  school  a  good 
reputation  athletically.  Certain  members  were 
responsible  for  visitin.g  teams  during  those 
marvelous  basketball  tournaments  of  our  last 
year.  Oh,  those  unfor.gettable  tournaments! 
1  thrill  to  the  thought  yet.  Here's  a  picture 
of  that  matchless  team.  How  we  adored 
them! 

Granddaughter;  Why.  this  fellow  looks 
just  like  LeRov  Mason  our  star  guard.  Who 
is    Ik-:' 

Grandmother;  Why.  that  is  LeRoy  Wilhel- 
mi I've  just  been  telling  you  ;ibout.  }.Iason 
did  you  say?'  Wh\-  Jean,  now  that  I  think  of 
it  your  LeRoy  is  none  other  than  our  LeRoy's 
grandson. 

Granddaughter;  Oh.  how  thrilling!  To 
think  that  LeRoy  Mason's  grandfather  played 
basketball!     Was  he  any  good? 

Grandmother:  They  said  he  was  one  of 
the  best  guards  that  ever  wore  the  Blue  and 
Gold.  But  no  man  was  the  star  of  that  team; 
it  was  a  team  of  stars.  After  only  a  inoder- 
ately  successful  season  the  tournaments 
crowned  it  w'ith  a  triumph  greater  than  all. 
The  district  tournament  was  an  easy  win,  but

game  and  we  did  with  a  hard  tussle.  After 
that  we  hoped  we  could,  but  were  pretty

T.  C.  in  J.  T.  H.  S.  is  now  entloil.  Many  num- 
bers have  completed  four  years  and  are  graduat- 
ing. They  will  leave  with  the  feelinK  that  the 
R.  O.  T.  C.  has  been  a  big  success  and  has  help- 
ed them  to  be  better  fellows.  Many  of  them 
will  enter  colleges  and  continue  the  good  work. 

The  object  of  the  military  training  has  been  to 
develop  the  fellows  physically,  and  make  them 
wide  awake  and  active.  It  has  helped  them  to 
be  neat  in  dress  and  has  taught  tliem  militar> 
courtesy.  It  has  taught  them  the  basic  prin- 
ciples of  warfare  and  has  placed  them  in  a 
position  in  which  in  case  of  an  emergency, 
they  could,  in  a  very  short  time,  be  put  in  con- 
dition to  be  of  valuable  service  to  their  countrw 

We  regret  very  much  the  loss  of  Col.  Lovell 
and  Sergt.  Kirk.  Col.  Lovell  had  only  one  idea 
in  his  mind  at  all  times  when  he  was  with  the 
fellows.  Everything  he  could  do  was  for  the 
betterment  of  the  corps.  Sergt.  Kirk  was  a 
friend  of  all  the  fellows.  By  being  friendly 
with  them  he  got  them  to  work  hard  for  him 
in  his  classes  and  they  liked  it. 

The  R.  O.  T.  C.  went  to  work  aboiit  a  week  af- 
ter school  started  in  September.  After  a  eouule 
of  weeks  of  hustling  up  and  getting  into  condi- 
tion, honorary  reviews  were  given  for  the  dii¥er- 
ent  civic  organizations  of  the  city  in  appreciation 
of  the  many  things  they  have  done  for  the  R.  O.

out  on  Armistic  Day  and  with  the  band  were 
given  the  honor  of  leading  the  parade.  After 
the  parade  the  Chand)er  of  Commerce  took  all 
the  members  who  had  turned  out,  to  Morris  on 
special  cars  to  see  the  football  game  which 
was  to  take  place  that  afternoon.  It  was  a  trip 
to  lie  appreciated  and  was  surely  enjoyed  by  all.

man,  the  officer  in  charge  of  R.  O.  T.  C.  work 
i)i  the  (ith  corps  area. 

Field  day  took  place  on  May  25,  this  year. 
This  is  always  a  big  dav  for  the  school.  Com- 
pany, platoon  and  squad  drill  were  the  main  at- 
tractions of  the  dav.  The  Captain  Doddridge 
cup  and  Mrs.  Doddridge  flag  always  go  to  the 
best  drilled  company.  Then  there  were  trophies 
presented  to  the  best  drilled  platoon  and  squad. 
Medals  were  given  to  the  best  drilled  individ- 
uals. In  the  evening,  the  military  ball  was  held. 
This  is  always  looked  forward  to  from  the  be- 
ginning of  the  school  year  by  all  the  members, 
and  the  school  in  general,  because  they  know  it 
is  to  be  about  tlie  biggest  thing  of  the  year. 
After  May  25.  drill  was  discontinued  and  uni- 
forms were  tin-ned  in  and  checked,  l)riuging  a 
successful    vear   to    a   close.

T.  T.  H.  S.  BAND 


The  Band 


The  Band  has  taken  part  in  many  of  the 
school  activities,  such  as  football,  basketball, 
and  the  May  festival  which  was  held  this 
year  for  the  first  time.  The  May  festival 
proved  a  great   success  musically. 

In  September  many  new  Freshmen  came 
into  the  band;  they  were  soon  whipped  into 
shape  by  Mr.  McAllister  and  Mr.  Gierich,  to 
take   the   places   of  last   year's  graduates. 

The  band  accompanied  the  football  team  to 
most  of  their  out-of-town  games,  and  played 
at  all  the  home  games. 

In  basketball  the  Band,  as  usual,  played  an 
important  part,  helping  the  team  to  win  some 
of  their  games.  They  also  turned  out  a  team 
of  their  own  which  was  entered  in  the  R.  O. 
T.  C.  tournament.  Although  the  Band  was 
beaten  in  the  tournament  by  "C"  Company 
they  came  back  at  them  beating  them  twice 
after  that.  The  officers  of  the  Band  are: 
Ellis  Schofield,  President;  Paul  Barniville, 
Secretary;   Lester  Jagar,  Treasurer. 

The  R.  O.  T.  C.  officers  of  the  Band  are: 
Paul  Barniville,  Captain;  Ellis  Schofield,  1st 
Lieutenant;  Edward  Grinton,  1st  Lieutenant; 
Ivenneth  Conlisk,  2nd  Lieutenant;  Lester 
Jager,  2nd  Lieutenant;  Bob  Brumund,  1st  Ser- 
geant;  Bcrnice   Lowery,   Sponsor. 

The  Band;  intends  to  cop  the  cup  again  for 
the  best  drilled  company,  as  they  did  last 
year.  Captain  Barniville  will  have  charge  of 
the  whole  company.  Lieutenant  Schofield  is 
to   take   charge   of   the  platoon,   and    Corporal

Eckert  the  squad.  Field  day  was  on  May  25, 
the  evening  being  spent  in  a  big  dance  which 
ended  it  all  for  the  year. 

There  is  to  be  a  National  Band  Contest  in 
Chicago,  June  4th  to  7th  which  is  the  busy  Com- 
mencement week.  There  are  three  classes  of 
bands:  grade  school,  high  school,  and  Military 
banas.  J.  T.  H.  S.  expects  to  enter  in  the 
High  School  and  Military  classes  in  which 
the  concert  and  march  formations  will  be  the 
things  judged. 

The  Band  is  going  to  St.  Louis  on  June  18 
at  11:30  A.  M.  with  the  Rotary  club  at  their 
convention  held  there.  It  is  also  going  to 
Camp  Roosevelt  this  summer  for  the  third 
season  about  the  last  of  August. 

The  glorious  J.  T.  H.  S.  band  is  an  element 
in  the  High  School  not  to  be  forgotten  by  the 
Seniors  who  are  now  leaving  the  school.  It 
has  offered  many  enjoyments;  and  for  the  boys 
who  are  leaving  to  have  started  their  high 
school  career  with  the  Springfield  trip  and  to 
have  ended  up  with  a  St.  Louis  trip  with  many 
happy  trips  in  between  not  forgetting  the 
wonderful  Atlantic  City  trip  is  certainly  a  most 
happy  high  school  experience.  The  members 
have  broken  many  windows  and  they  have 
been  in  many  fights,  but  they  have  always 
managed  to  come  out  alive  and  victorious. 
Good   night.

week  this  year  except  during  vacations.  It  h;is 
shot  in  the  nati(jnal  W.  J.  K.  (.'.  matches  with 
Units  all  over  the  U.  S.  A.  It  has  won  the 
majority    of    these.

The  Unit  meets  every  Tuesday  for  theory  and 
practice  of  riflery.  (Jur  instructor  is  Mr.  H. 
D.  Grose,  of  the  Physiography  department.  He 
is  also  State  Supervisor  of  the  Winchester 
JmiidC  Rifle  Corps  for  Illinois.  He  is  very  suc- 
cesslnl  in  coaching  our  new  members,  for  we 
lia\e  seen  these  things  lia|ipen  on  our  range 
recently-:  Linna  Testin  won  her  Pro-Marks- 
man medal  in  three  range  periods;  Betty  Hodg- 
son shoot  sharpshooter  scored  on  her  seventh 
target;  and  Margaret  Palmer  make  a  perfect 
target,  a  95%  score,  and  a  place  on  the  high- 
five  of  our  match  team,  the  fourth  time  she  shot 
with  us.  All  the  other  new  .girls  have  learned 
in  one  or  two  lessons  how  to  handle  the  rifle 
well,  and  how  to  make  good  groups  on  their 
targets. 

Our  Unit  has  had  great  times  since  we  have 
been  shooting  on  the  new  J.  T.  H.  S  — R.  O.  T.y  . 
range,  but  we  miss  the  good  su'^oers  we  used  to 
cook  last  semester  over  the  ,gas  stove  at  Joliet 
Rifle  Club.  Another  thing  that  we  have  done 
this  \ear  is  to  select  a  uniform  for  the  Unit. 
We  wore  this  for  the  first  time  on  a  "hike" 
earh'  in  Ma\-.  ( )ur  merr\'  gioup  of  nineteen 
girls  left  Joliet  at  7:00  A.  M.,  and  walked  si.x 
miles  down  the  old  tow-path  to  Rock  Run.  We 
all  wore  pack  carriers  on  our  1  acks,  with  cook- 
ing outfits  and  "rations  for  two  meals."  It 
was  a  wonderful  day,  and  we  had  a  wonderful 
time,  cooking  our  meals  and  hunting  for  flowers. 
In  the  afternoon  we  had  water  fights  and  other 
games:  and  used  up  dozens  of  films  "snapping" 
the  funn\-  groups  that  we  made — and  some  w 
didn't  make.  After  cooking  supper,  we  hiked 
baek  to  Joliet,  arriving  tired,  but  sure  that  Un't 
667  will  continue  next  semester  with  more  "nep" 
t' "n    ever.  By  Supervisor   Marian   .Ahlberg

RIFLE   CORPS,   UNIT   765 


"HIT   WHERE   YOU   AIM!" 

You  would  naturally  expect  an  organization 
like  the  Rifle  Corps  to  be  striking  and  stun- 
ning and  to  the  point — and  so  it  is.  We  h?ar 
reports  from  them  every  week.  A  simple 
proof  of  Unit  76S's  being  a  useful,  energetic  and 
general  asset  is  that  it  was  organized  away 
back  in  1920,  and  it  takes  a  fairly  worthwhile 
activity  to  weather  three  years  in  high  school 
and  not  be  swamped  by  the  newer  things  which 
are  being  introduced. 

Unit  765  owes  its  success  to  a  good  many 
things,  or  if  you'd  rather,  many  good  things : 
a  good  range,  good  rifles,  good  bullets,  and 
mainly  good  instructors.  Mr.  Grose  for  several 
years  has  been  the  capable  and  helping  hand 
which  guided  this  unit,  but  in  the  fall  of  1922  he 
passed  the  position  of  director  over  to  Mr. 
R.  N.  Magor,  who  has  followed  well  the  pre- 
cedent of  encouragement  and  enthusiasm  es- 
tablished by  Mr.  Grose. 

Being  a  Rifle  Unit  we  should  have  aims,  and 
consequently  we  have.  They  arc :  to  hit  the 
".\  Bull"  every  time  and  to  have  a  good  time 
all  the  time. 

When  school  began  in  September  1922,  nearly 
half  of  the  members  of  Unit  765  had  graduated 
in  June,  and  the  unit  was  left  with  a  member- 
ship of  five.  However,  with  the  addition  of 
some  new  members  our  total  mounted  to  nine, 
while  in  the  spring  of  1923  four  more  members 
entered.  Our  entire  enrollment  was  thirteen 
which  proved  a  vcrjr  lucky  number,  as  we  won 


the    majority-   of   the    matches   which   we    shot. 

In  January  the  ancient  mariners,  or  rather  the 
ancient  marksmen,  gave  an  initiation  party  for 
the  new  members,  at  the  rifle  range  on  Cass 
Street.  True  to  custom  the  unit  had  a  noisy 
and  wonderfully  good  time;  and  after  the 
"eats"  and  stunts,  the  unit  went  skating  on 
Richards    Street    Pond. 

That  was  about  the  last  session  held  in  that 
range  for  the  one  in  high  school  was  com- 
pleted, and  we  moved  our  headquarters  there. 

In  April,  the  members,  most  of  whom  had  won 
their  Promarksman  and  Marksman  medals 
and  were  shooting  for  their  Sharpshooter,  enter- 
tained the  older  members  at  a  delightfully  child- 
ish "Children's  Party"  held  at  Mr.  Beecher 
Petersen's    home. 

No  doubt,  if  one  of  the  doomed  targets  were 
to  give  its  opinion  on  Rifle  Corps  in  general  it 
would   be   something   like  this  : 

"I  am  faced  by  a  determined,  invincible  rifle 
— I  know  that  I  shall  soon  never  feel  the  same 
again — that  I  shall  be — ah — perforated.  The 
action  is  closed,  the  hammer  set,  the  barrel 
leveled  at  me,  the  sight  exactly  at  my  A  Bull. 
The  trigger  moves — ouch  I  right  through  my 
middle — and  another,  and  another  I  all  in  my 
A  Bull.  I'll  be  a  beautiful  target.  I'll  be  a 
lasting  symbol  of  what  W.  J.  R.  C.  stands  for 
— each  one  of  these  five  bullets  stands  for  a 
principle.  (Excuse  me  if  I'm  didactic,  but  I'm 
a  fine  target).  They  stand  for  concentration, 
ability,  patience,  persevance,  and  good  sports- 
manship. 


A   woodpeclcer   lit   on   a   Junior's   head 
And   settled   down   to   drill 
He   bored   awa\-   for   half   a   day 
And  finally  broke  his  bill. 


T,ucky  in  cards,  unlucky  in  love 
fs  a  maxim  ages  old. 
But  in    every   case   it   all   depends 
Upon    the    hands    you   hold.

J-Hi 

In  November  1921,  under  the  inspiration  and 
helpful  guidance  of  Miss  Denning,  the  Junior 
and  Senior  girls  banded  themselves  into  a 
girls'  club,  such  as  many  high  schools  have  and 
took  unto  themselves  the  name  of  J-Hi  Stars. 
The  first  few  weeks  made  it  absolutely  certain 
that  they  couldn't  be  eclipsed.  After  a  most 
successful  year  in  1921-22,  in  September  1922 
they  again  rose  on  the  horizon,  this  time  with 
those  who  had  been  the  Junior  members  ad- 
vanced to  the  dignity  of  stars  of  the  first  magni- 
tude seniors,  and  the  former  Sophomores,  now 
Juniors,  coming  in  such  numbers  that  they 
formed  a  veritable  "Milky  Way,"  Some  of  the 
seniors  who  had  not  belonged  in  their  Junior 
year  felt  they,  too,  wanted  to  shine  and  joined. 
These  bright  young  women  further  proved  their 
brilliancy  by  choosing  for  the  officers  the  fol- 
lowing :

Jenny  Westling  and  Lucy  Booth  were  put  in 
charge  of  the  program  committees,  Grace  An- 
derson of  the  music  committee;  and  Mary 
Wrecks  of  the  Christmas  welfare  work.  This 
last  committee  is  at  the  head  of  one  of  the 
most  important  of  J-Hi  Star  activities  and 
fulfills  one  half  of  our  reason  for  existence — to 
help  others.  The  girls  are  assigned  to  various 
committees  numbering  about  fifteen  niendiers 
each.  Each  committee  is  then  given  the  name 
of  some  needy  family.  The  girls  eacli  make  a 
small  contribution  either  of  food,  monev,  cloth- 
mg,  or  to\s  Baskets  arc.  then  hllid  md  lh>

Nell  Red  Cross  seals  at  Christmas  and  thus  once 
more   live    up   to   their   purpose. 

The  other  half  of  our  purpose  is  to  promote 
comradeship  among  the  .girls.  As  this  does  not 
mean  between  Junior  and  Senior  girls  only, 
Freshman  sponsors  were  appointed.  Various 
girls  volunteered  for  this  work,  and  from  the 
many  who  did  so  the  sponsors  were  cliosen. 
Each  sponsor  was  given  charge  of  four  BI 
Freshman  girls.  The  sponsors  act  as  a  kind  of 
big  sister  to  these  girls  who  are  not  yet  fully 
accustomed  to  the  school  and  its  traditions,  and 
endeavor  to  smooth  out  some  of  the  bumps  on 
the  BI's  path  along  the  Road  of  Knowledge. 
A  "get  acquainted"  party  was  held  for  the 
sponsors  and  their  charges  at  the  beginning 
of  the  semester.  Several  after  school  parties 
for  the  club  members  were  held  also. 

The  second  semester  got  in  to  full  swing  with 
no  sign  of  any  dimming  on  the  part  of  the  J-Hi 
Stars.  During  this  semester  they  met  every 
second  Tuesday  and  undertook  several  new 
projects.  Among  these  was  the  publishing  of 
a  pamphlet  on  etiquette  designed  to  meet  the 
needs  of  a  high  school  girl.  Their  biggest 
social  event  was  also  undertaken  during  this 
semester.  This  took  the  form  of  a  dinner  dance, 
for  which  the  date  was  April  2S.  Tables  were 
arranged  representing  the  months  of  the  year, 
and  the  group  at  each  table  |ilaced  in  charge 
of  a  teacher.  Decorations  were  carried  out  in 
keeping  with  the  months  and  each  table  con- 
tributed a  "stunt."  The  various  activities  of 
the  second  semester  were  carried  out  under  the 
able  generalship  of  our  elficient  officers  who 
were  elected  in  F'eliruarv      Thcv  were  :

Good  eats,  a  snappy  speaker,  an  ar,L;innent  or 
two,  then  home.  Such  is  the  program  that  is 
looked  forward  to  by  sixty-five  boys  from  High 
School  and  Junior  College,  every  Tuesday  at  six 
sharp.  Sixty-five  live  fellows  are  spreading 
throughout  the  school  and  community,  high 
standards  of  Christian  character,  and  are  ever 
keeping  before  them  the  thought  of  clean 
speech,  clean  living,  clean  athletics,  and  clean 
scholarship. 

During  the  first  semester  of  '22-'Z3.  a  small 
group  of  boys  was  inspired,  somehow  or  anoth- 
er, with  the  idea  of  a  Y.  M.  C.  A.  This  group, 
the  remnants  of  the  Older  Bovs'  Conference  of 
'22,  met  every  two  weeks  at  Snapp's  or  David- 
son's, under  the  able  direction  of  Brooks  Steen 
and  Mr.  Kirby,  with  the  idea  of  getting  repre- 
sentative boys  from  each  class  in  school.  In  a 
few  months,  the  membership  grew  to  such  pro- 
portions, that  an  appeal  was  made  to  different 
churches    for    a    place    to    meet.     Mention    must

lie  made  (if  the  ladies  ot  the  churches,  who 
so  willingly  prepared  suppers  for  reas'jnable 
prices,  thus  furnishing  an  added  incentive  for 
getting    together   every    Tuesday   night. 

Prominent  business  men  of  Joliet  seemed  glad 
to  talk  to  the  club  about  the  trials  of  a  busi- 
ness life  and  what  makes  up  a  successful  man. 
April  tenth  the  club  gave  the  school  a  real 
treat,  by  securing  Dad  Eliot  to  speak  at  an 
assembly  on  the  subject  of  "Quitters."  By  this 
talk,  the  club  was  advertised  to  the  whole 
school,  which  in  turn  increased  the  member- 
ship  list. 

The  big  pow  wow  of  the  season  was  held  in 
the  form  of  a  banquet,  given  at  the  Ottawa 
Street  M.  E.  Church.  Of  course  the  girls  had 
to  be  invited,  but  it  did  not  hurt  anyone  to  lis- 
ten to  Professor  Boornian,  who  gave  the  ad- 
dress of  the  evening.  The  new  officers,  Dick 
Jones  as  President.  Ray  Leimbacher  as  Vice 
President,  and  Fayette  Shaw  as  Secretary- 
Treasurer,  were  introduced  to  the  club  and 
given  advice  by  retiring  officers.  This  being 
the  last  meeting  for  the  sunnner,  the  club  dis- 
banded until  its  next  meeting  in  September,  at 
which  time  the  power  to  rule  will  be  given  the 
new   officers.

.'\ppreciation  : 
The  Girl  Scout  movement  in  Joliet  will  suf- 
fer a  great  loss  when  Miss  Acenith  V.  Stafford, 
captain  of  North  Star  Troop,  leaves  J.  T.  H.  S. 
next  year  to  attend  Columbia  University'.  We 
owe  more  to  Miss  Stafford  than  we  can  ever 
express.  In  March  1922  eleven  girls,  previously 
Camp  Fire  Girls,  started  a  troop  of  Girl  Scouts 
with  Miss  Stafford  as  their  captain.  It  is 
largely  due  to  her  courage  and  foresight  that 
there  are  now  eleven  troops,  sponsored  by  the 
Woman's  Club,  the  Steel  Works  Club  and 
various  churches,  and  a  full  fledged  Senior 
Council  composed  of  prominent  women  of  Jol- 
iet. Aifiss  Stafford  lias  been  at  all  times  a 
splendid  leader,  a  loyal  captain,  and  our  own 
dear  "Awayoli."  We  wish  her  every  success 
in  her  work  and  hope  that  she  will  see  her  wav 
clear  to  go  on  with  Scout  work  aga-n  some  time. 


Aliss  Pha  Ruggles  of  j.  T.  H.  S.  has  very 
kindly  consented  to  lie  captain  of  the  high 
school  troop  next  year.  Miss  Chloris  Shade  and 
Miss  Glenna  Ilamill  will  assist.  The  patrol 
leaders  will  help  plan  the  meetings  and  train 
the    Tenderfeet. 

The  following  Girl  Scouts  are  J.  T.  II.  S.

"Who  dare  to  go  into  council  witli  the  peda- 
gogues." 

That's  really  not  so  hard;  in  fact  it's  ratlur 
fun.  This  year  said  students  and  teachers  have 
accomplished   quite   a   little. 

Last  semester  Joe  Barr  was  chairman  and 
Grace  Anderson  secretary.  With  these  two 
pushing  or  pulling,  as  circumstances  demanded, 
we  put  through   more  than   a   few  things. 

Early  this  fall  new  yell  leaders  were  ap- 
pointed with  Melvin  Williams  as  head  leader  or 
in  other  words  head  yeller. 

Instead  of  hot  dog  sales,  they  earned  nione>' 
by  a  new,  unheard  of  method — they  started  and 
worked  successfully  a  check  room,  thus  helping 
the  public,   as   well  as  themselves. 

Another  of  their  projects  is  this  new  bulletin 
board  system  which  seemingly,  so  far  although 
not  very  much  used,  shows  great  promise. 

This  semester  little  has  been  done  because  (jf 
interrupted  meeting,  but  w-e  have  several 
amazing  schemes  under  consideration  and  hope 
thev  also  will  be   successful. 


THE  BIOLOGY  CLUB. 

The  Biology  Club  has  always  had  a  pur- 
pose. Its  chief  purpose  is  to  emphasize,  in 
detail,  certain  facts  concerning  plants  and 
animals.  There  is  also  a  certain  amount  of 
credit  given  those  who  attend  the  meetings 
of  the  club.  The  Biology  Club  is  governed 
by  a  Senate  which  is  chosen  from  those  ob- 
taining the  highest  grade  in  their  biology 
work.  This  Senate  convenes  and  transacts 
all  the  business  concerning  the  club.  Each 
semester,  a  committee  of  three,  all  members 
of  the   Senate,  is  elected   by  the   Senate.     This 


conimittee  chooses  the  officers  of  the  Biology 
Club.  The  officers  chosen  by  this  commit- 
tee are: 

FIRST  SEMESTER: 
William    Green,    President;    Helen    Touzalin, 
\"icc    President;    Francis   Cox,   Secretary;   Mar- 
garet  Carter,  Treasurer. 

SECOND   SEMESTER: 

I'aiil  Stewart,  President;  Margaret  Leach, 
\'ice  I'resident;  Lucile  Keniston,  Secretary; 
.\lbert    Hagmeyer,  Treasurer. 

Some  of  the  lectures  given  b>'  students,  and 
I)ertaining  to  plants,  were,  "Alfalfa,"  "Manila 
Hemp,"  "Bacteria  and  the  Spoiling  of  Food," 
"The  Joliet  Water  Supply,"  "Diphtheria," 
"Smallpox,"  "Tuberculosis,"  "Indigo,"  "Ro- 
quefort and  Chcddan  Cheese,"  "Health  Offi- 
cers and  their  Duties,"  and  "Care  and  Im- 
provement  of  Farm   Woods." 

There  were  lectures  on  "Charles  Darwin," 
and   "Louis   Pasteur"   by   students   also. 

Those  lectures  concerning  animals  were: 
"Life  in  the  Sea,"  "Bird  Migration,"  "Sharks," 
and  "Bedbugs." 

An  effort  is  made  to  have  some  lecture 
given  by  others  than  students,  at  each  meet- 
ing. The  following  are  some  of  these  lec- 
tures: "The  Honey  Bee"  by  Dr.  Copley; 
"L^se  of  Plant  Evidence  in  Solution  of  Prac- 
tical Problems"  by  Henry  C.  Cowles,  Pro- 
fessor of  Plant  Ecology  at  the  University  of 
Chicago;  "Plant  By  Products"  by  Miss  'War- 
ning; "Bird  Migration  and  Conservation"  by- 
Orpheus  Schantz,  President  of  Illinois  Audo- 
bon  Society;  "Insects"  by  Mr.  .'somes,  a  new 
member  of  the  faculty. 

Enthusiasm  for  the  Biology  Club  is  in- 
creasing as  is  the  attendance  at  the  meetings. 
We  hope  the  enthusiasm  and  attendance  will 
continue  to  increase,  and  more  people  than 
biology  students  and  teachers  will  become  in- 
terested. 

— Lucille    Keniston.

THREE  CHEERS  EoR  THE  ORCHESTRA! 

Three  cheers  for  an  cir,t;anization  that  scores 
such    high   credit    to   the    schiicil    it    represents  I 

They  planned  to  bring  their  instruments  once 
a  week,  to  practice  for  one  hour; — (why  not 
practice  at  home? — just  one  moment  please — ) 
hut  tliat  would  never  do  unless  they  had  a 
leader.  So  these  six  heads  thought  and  thought, 
though  }iot  in  vain,  for  Mr.  Hiram  Converse, 
a  talented  musician  and  instructor  in  Joliet. 
consented  to  meet  with  them  once  a  week  for 
one  hour.  This,  folks  happened  in  191o.  This 
was  the  beginning  of  the  J.  T.  H.  S.  Orchestra. 

For  ten  years  this  organization  under  direc- 
tion of  Hiram  Converse,  has  steadily  progress- 
ed. From  year  to  year  more  and  more  students 
have  been  added  to  the  original  number,  until 
now  it  consists  of  forty  pieces.  During  the 
past,  the  orchestra  has  given  many  concerts, 
and  has  made  friends — yes,  friends  and  friends, 
and  then  some  more  including  those  in  the  out- 
lying towns.  Every  year,  it  has  lent  its  kindly 
support  at  Commencement.  On  the  night  of  a 
Senior  or  Junior  College  Play,  the  J.  H.  S. 
Orchestra  could  l)e  seen  down  in  front.  People 
were  ushered  down  the  aisles  to  the  tune  of  a 
peppy  march.  They  listened  to  interesting 
overtures  between  acts.  Strains  of  music  fol- 
lowed them  out  of  the  auditoriiim,  even  as  a 
host  follows  his  guest  to  the  door  and  liids  him 
come  a.gain.  So  the  Orchestra  has  done  its  best 
to  represent  so  hue  an  institution  as  Joliet  High 
School. 

The  Calendar  of  livents  for  the  past  year 
show  that : 

The  opening  concert  of  the  year  was  given 
iri  Elwood.  Saturday.  November  4,  1922.  A  good 
time  was   had  by  all — including  the  audience. 

November  8,  1922,  the  "orch"  accepted  an  in- 
vitation extended  by  the  Biology  Club,  and 
played  a  few  numbers  at  the  beginning  of  the 
program, — much  to  the  pleasure  of  all  con- 
cerned.

With  the  increase  in  number  of  students,  and 
the  splendid  additions  to  present  building  that 
are  being  contemplated,  we  hope  for  a  great 
increase  in  members  of  the  Orchestra.  With

tire school,  the  splendid  stage,  perhaps,  well 
perhaps  the  J.  H.  S.  will  give  a  concert,  and

Mixed  Chorus 


The  Mixed  Chorus  has,  from  the  early  fall, 
numbered  about  100  voices.  The  aims  of  this 
organization  have  been  (1)  to  study  the  best 
choral  works  of  master  composers  and  (2)  to 
present  to  the  public  these  works  in  a  musi- 
cianly  manner.  It  has  been  a  source  of  en- 
joyment for  all  concerned.  Although  irksome 
at  times  the  pride  in  the  finished  program  has 
aiwaj-s  offset  any  mcPiory  of  tedious  rehearsals. 

A  fine  spirit  of  loyalty  has  pervaded  the 
chorus.  The  director  has  never  felt  the  need 
of  checkin.a"  attendance  at  recitals  because  of 
the  fact  that  the  few  absences  were  accotintcd 
for    before    or    after    the    performance.      This 


aione.  should  speak  well  for  the  attitude  of  the 
organization   toward   its   work. 

rive  major  appearances  of  the  chorus  in  the 
year  have  given  an  impetus  to  do  some  very 
hard  work.  A  Christmas  program  was  given 
I  >ecember  10:  an  Easter  program  March  18. 
They  appeared  in  several  numbers  in  the 
Music  B'estival  May  5.  and  will  make  two  ap- 
pearances   commencement   week. 

The  chorus  has  built  a  fair  sized  repertoire 
for  the  year.  Two  cantatas  and  many  other 
lesser  octavo  numbers  of  sacred  and  secular 
character,  all  of  which  have  been  presented  in 
program,  make  a  rc-pectable  showing  for  this 
or.ganization. 


Girls'  Chorus 


The  Girls'  Chorus  has  ,grown  to  include 
eighty-five  voices  this  year  and  from  this 
group  were  chosen  ten  girls  calling  themselves 
a  Treble-Choir.  They  have  done  a  few  things 
worthy  of  mention  so  far  and  they  hope  ne.xt 
year  to  put  on  a  cantata  for  the  V)enefit  or 
those  interested  in  music.  The  tenth  of  De- 
cember they  sang  a  group  of  songs  accom- 
panied and  unaccompanied  at  the  Episcopal 
bazaar,  assisted  the  J-Hi  Staff  in  the  assembly 
in     April     by    representing    the    music    depart- 


ment. Then  on  the  26th  of  .^pril  they  gave  a 
Ijrogram  at  the  women's  prison  followed-  up 
by  one  similar  in  Elwood  at  the  Presbyterian 
church.  They  also  came  in  for  their  share  in 
the  program  of  the  May  festival,  each  chorus 
giving  two  numbers.  They  have  at  their  com- 
mand a  repertoire  of  at  least  twenty  beautiful 
songs. 

During  commencement  exercises  they  ap- 
peared on  Baccalaureate  program  singing 
"The  Sanctus"  by  Charles  Gounod  as  a  re- 
sponse to  the   Invocation.

Boys'  Glee  Club 


The  Boys'  Glee  Club  came  togther  again 
this  year,  ready  for  work  and  organized  under 
the   following  officers  :

BUSINESS  MANAGER. CLARENCE  KLETT 

The  first  thing  they  did  was  to  help  out  in 
the  cast  of  the  "Mikado",  a  comic  opera  given 
by  the  Junior  College.  After  having  had  the 
sensation  of  singing  in  an  opera,  the  hoys  de- 
cided they  would  like  to  give  one  of  their  own, 
but,  on  account  of  so  many  school  activities, 
plays,  concerts,  etc.,  which  were  coming,  they 
decided  to  wait  until  next  fall,  when  they  will 
give  "Captain  Van  Der  Hum,"  a  comic  opera 
for  male  voices. 

Their    ne.xt    appearance    was    in    Colonial    Hall 


w  liere  they  sang  at  a  liazaar  given  by  the  ladies 
of  Christ  Episcopal  Church.  After  singing  they 
spent  the  rest  of  the  evening  dancing,  and 
everyone   had   a    fine   time. 

They  appeared  with  the  m'xed  chorus  at  the 
Christmas  and  Easter  programs,  and  gave  two 
selections  from  "Captain  Van  Der  Hum"  as 
their  part  on  the  Music  Festival  program. 
They  also  gave  a  selection  at  the  Farmer's 
Institute,  where   they   were   well   received. 

Their  final  appearance  was  at  a  luncheon 
given  by  the  Rotary  Club.  They  were  served 
with  a  very  delightful  lunch,  after  which  they 
gave  several  selections  which  were  appreciated 
by  the  members  in  attendance. 

It  has  been  a  very  successful  year  for  the 
Boys'  Glee  Club,  and  we  hope  that  next  year's 
members  will  come  back  with  the  same  vim  and 
vigor  as  was  shown  this  year.

Radio  Club 


Tlie  Radio  Clr.b  is  now  completing  its  fi  urtli 
successful  year.  It  was  organized  shortly  after 
the  Armistice  was  siLjiud.  There  Avere  al)out 
ten  charter  memliers.  and  its  personnel  has 
reached  as  high  as  fifty  at  one  time.  The  club 
used    as    a    means    of    exchanging    different 


The  club  not  only  consists 
but  includes  members  from 
as    Lockport,    Minooka   and 


ideas,  and  opinion 
of  local  enthusiasts 
nearby   towns    such 
Manhattan. 

There  are  two  very  distinctive  divisiiiis  ni 
radio  enthusiasts;  first  there  is  the  broad- 
cast listener  or  more  conmioul>-  called  a  B.  C.  L. 
The  highest  ambition  of  this  group  is  to  pick 
up  the  sweet  strains  of  a  southern  melody  jazz 
orchestra,  or  to  listen  to  some  insurance  agent 
iniloading  to  his  invisible  audience  ;  or  they  are 
probably  congregated  to  discuss  the  setting  of 
their  deals  for  different  stations,  or  maybe  they 
are  setting  the  distance  that  can  be  received 
on  a  cat  whisker  and  a  piece  of  galena.  Then 
there  are  some  B.  C.  L's.  that  thought  a  car- 
rier w-ave  was  a  bearing  that  needed  a  drop  of 
oil;  and  such  go  to  make  up  tliat  group. 

Second  comes  the  true  American  ham.  This 
group  mmibers  about  thirty  thousand  in  the 
United  States  today.  It  was  this  groiui  that 
supplied  Uncle  Sam's  army  and  navy  with  ex- 
perienced operators  during  the  di'rk  daxs  ■  i 
'17.     It   was  this  group  being  lield  down   to  two 


hundred  meters,  that  developed  C.  W.  tr.ins- 
mission  on  two  hundred  meters  to  an  efficiency 
that  greatly  outclasses  most  commercial  trai.s- 
niitters  in  use  toda.\'. 

In  1021  the  amateur  saw  that  the  U.  S.  was 
getting  too  small  to  test  the  DX  of  his  trans- 
mitter; so  they  sent  a  committee  to  Scotland 
to  listen  for  them,  and  at  that  time  about  thirty 
stations  were  logged. 

The  next  year  1922-23  during  a  period  of  fif- 
teen days  there  were  more  than  three  hundred 
American  stations  heard  in  Europe,  and  today 
they  are  pushing  traffic  regularly  across  to 
England.  The  next  reports  will  have  to  come 
from  Mars  or  elsewhere  because  they  are  be- 
ing heard  in  China.  Australia,  and  New  Zealand 
regularly. 

The  members  ri  the  club  arc  as  follows: 
Hammon,  G.  B.,  Pres.  OFW ;  Johnson,  Floyd, 
Vice  President ;  Pettigrew.  \\'ilbur.  Secy.  Trea-

Hi^h  School  French  Club 


The  Higli  School  French  Club  year  may  he 
Hkened  to  a  telescope,  turned  at  many  angles. 
Through  it  we  have  glimpsed  many  people.  If 
they  do  not  inhabit  the  moon,  they  .seem  almost 
as  distant  from  us  when  we  consider  their  at- 
tainments. We  have  noted  the  behavior  of  people 
en  route  for  a  seance  of  the  Frencli  acadamy. 
What  a  procession  it  was!  Jean  Richepin.  .-Kna- 
tole  France,  Pierre  Loti,  Maurice  Donnay,  Clem- 
enceau,  Foch,  and  the  grand  old  man  Mr.  Frey- 
cenet.  who  died  recently,  with  their  brother  im- 
mortals were  on  their  way  to  the  acadamy  to 
work  on  the  famous  dictionarj'.  we  suppose. 
Perhaps  how'ever.  they  were  going  to  elect  the 
men  to  fill  those  empty  chairs. 

Turn  the  telescope — Oh  I  we  can  see  over  Ma- 
dame Senignes'  shoulder  as  she  writes  letters 
to  her  daughter.  She  is  telling  about  the  chef 
^'atel  and  the  fish.  You  saw  through  the  open 
door  of  the   hotel   Rambouillet? 

We  all  like  to  know  people  of  note,  people  who 
have  done  something  worth  while  in  contribu- 
ting to  the  world's  sum  of  knowledge;  who  have 
become  famous  in  their  chosen  field  of  labor. 
We  often  have  the  privilege  of  an  introduction, 
at  least,  to  a  great  soul  through  even  a  quotation 
given  in  answer  to  roll  call.  Did  you  see  the 
marquise .'  Can  you  hear  anything  that  sounds 
like  preciosity "'  Weren't  they  aiTected  ?  Really 
you  ought  to  have  seen  that  group  lie  fore  the 
procession  to  the  acadamy,  but  no  matter,  this 
telescope  never  seems  to  consider  the  time  ele- 
ment anyway.  There  it  is  veering  over  to  show 
us  some  other  famous  women !  I  believe  it  is 
Madame  de  Stael ;  yes.  it  is.  But  let's  put  on 
a  reflector  and  attach  the  records  so  we  can  see 
and  hear  ourselves.  There  I  I  see  Mary  Weeks 
in  the  presidential  chair.  She  is  requesting 
Secretary  Frances  Forbes  to  read  the  minutes 
of   the   last   meeting.     She   says   that    Lois   Blatt. 


\  ice- President  presided  at  the  last  meeting  in 
the  absence  of  the  president.  That  was  the 
Easter   meeting   when   we  had  aufs  de   Parfnes. 

Oh,  that's  a  reflection  of  the  meeting  at  Snapp's. 
What's  that  ?  O  I  see,  it's  the  clever  program 
when  the  "voters"  play  and  the  "At  school"  were 
given,  Mary  Barr  was  fine  and  the  teacher  Alljert 
Hagneyer  was  great. 

( )h  '  Look!  There's  the  Christmas  play  where 
Ralph  Cissne  is  the  father,  Lucille  Kelly  is  April, 
Julia  Lipow  is  December,  Mary-  Lewis  is  Febru- 
ary, Elizabeth  Sawyer  is  June,  Mary  Van  Horn 
is  one  of  the  months  and  so  is  Frances  Woodruff; 
but  I  can't  make  out  wdiich.  I  can  see  Beatrice 
Borden  and  Florence  Pester  are  in  it  too,  but  it's 
too  dim  to  see  distinctly.  That  looks  like  Stanley 
and  Joe  Barr  liut,  I'm  not  sure.  There,  that's 
Bessie  Hartshorne  and  .Adrian  and  \\  illiam  Large 
any  way ;  yes,  and  Edwin  Levin  too. 

Turn  the  reflector  a  tinty  bit.  There's  the  May 
program  to  perfection  with  Lois  Blatt,  Louise 
Storm,  Joan  Wright,  Louise  Data  and  Dorothy 
Emery  going  through  the  play  of  "La  Marraine 
de  .giverre"  in  such  a  dramatic  way.  O.  I  love 
the  minuet  don't  you?  They  do  it  w-ell  too. 
Listen  I  That's  the  record  of  "Sur  le  pout  d' 
.\vignon"  w'ith  Jenny  Westling's  finger  dances. 
.\ngeline  Haley  does  that  well  too,  but  look  at 
.\tleta !  Ruth  is  clever  isn't  she?'  But  what's 
that?  I  know  its  Bernice  Lenander,  Joe  Zalar 
and  Mary  Weeks  in  their  Xapoleonic  caps  at 
the   Year   Book   assembly. 

I  suppose  that  because  "Fais  Dodo  Carlos  nou 
petit  frere"  means  it's  time  to  go  home,  the  re- 
flector isn't  working  well  any  more?  Well,  do 
turn  the  telescope.  See!  it  shows  a  rosy  avenir 
— the  future — such  a  lonely  land  !  We  can  carry 
memories  of  the  club  year  into  I'avenir.  My, 
they  look  like  myriads  of  tiny  buds.  Yes.  they 
are  buds  which  will  blossom  in  the  rosy  avenir.

ME.M(  )RIAL  SPEECH 

Madam  Chairman,  Dr.  Smith,  Memliers  uf  the 
Senior  Class,  and  Friends  : 

From  time  immemorial  it  has  been  the  desire 
of  man  to  perpetuate  his  memory  among  those 
who  should  follow  him.  But  tliis  desire  to  per- 
petuate one's  memory  did  not  die  with  the  past, 
hut  is  with  us  today.  The  ancient  Egyptian  Kin.^s 
had  armies  of  slaves  build  great  pyramids  for 
their  tombs,  but  they  are  not  now  thousfht  of 
as  tombs  but  as  memorials.  A  certain  doctor 
in  Michigan  had  sculptured  a  life  size  statue  of 
himself  reposing  in  a  chair.  His  dying  wish  was 
to  ha\e  this  statue  placed  over  his  grave,  and 
today  it  stands  in  one  of  the  most  prominent 
places  in  the  cemetery.  So  down  through  the 
a.ges  this  custom  has  come.  It  is  now  time  that 
we.  the  class  of  1923.  present  our  memorial,  that, 
though  our  class  may  be  gone  it  will  not  he 
forgotten. 

The  committee  charged  with  the  honorable 
duty  of  executing  tlie  <it  the  class  has  selected 
as  a  inemorial  a  painting. 

Xow  what  shall  this  niennirial  which  we  this 
day  present  to  our  school  mean  to  those  wlm 
follow  us?  We  do  not  wish  you  merely  to  stand 
before  this  memorial  and  look  upon  it  as  a  pic- 
ture. We  want  everyone  of  you  whether  .graduate 
or  undergraduate  to  be  inspired,  as  you  look 
upon  it.  witli  the  spirit  that  carried  us  throu.gh 
our  four  years  of  scholarship —  the  spirit  of 
doing  our  work  to  the  best  of  our  ability. 

The  duty  has  been  assigned  to  me.  Dr.  Smith. 
of  transferrin,g  this  picture  to  your  charge  as 
guardian    of    cmr    memorial    to    this    school  :    for 


here  more  than  elsewliere  is  the  scene  of  our 
social  and  scholastic  ha]ipiness.  Here  we  formed 
many  of  our  friendshijis  and  likewise  our  char- 
acters. 

.'Ks  the  re|jresentative  of  the  subscriliers  to  this, 
picture  1  now  formally  deliver  it.  Dr.  Smith,  to 
you.  From  this  moment  it  is  no  longer  the  prop- 
erty of  our  class.  It  becomes  a  sacred  trust 
held  liy  you  for  all  the  future  students  of  this 
school.  Here  let  it  hang  not  only  to  perpetuate 
our  reverence  for  our  illustrious  school,  hut  to 
keep  alive  the  principles  that  inspired  all  our 
career  as  students  in  this  school. 


I\Y   DAY    POEM 

This   tiny  plant   of  ivy   rare  will  be — 

Not  caring  what  ma\'  strive  to  bar  its  way. 

How    warm    the    sun    sends    down    its    mellow 

ray — 
A  synd5ol  of  the  class  of  twenty-tliree. 
'Tuill   .grow  to   lie  as   mighty   as   the  tree; 
Yes.  always  climbing  upward  day  by   day 
Its   tendrils  will   not    falter,  will   not   stray; 
Some  da.\-  a  thing  of  beauty  all  shall  see. 
So   life   is   lived,   enjoyed   and   struggled   thru. 
The  will  of  God  directs  each  on  his  climl) 
If  he  will  do  his  task  without  ado 
And  take  his  lesson  from  the  ivy   vine. 
Let    cacli   one   follow   out   his   high   ideal 
And    bear   the   impress   of    his    Maker's    Seal. 
— Lois    Palmer.

I'cige     One     Huiulrc-d    Twenty-five 


The  Date  of  Birth  Reveals  That  — 


Aiulci-son.    Fred— AuKU--t    31 

His  prol\'?,sion  ci'iicerni  the  hncr  details  of 
a  large  organization.  His  characteristics 
are  order,  self-reliance,  and  everlasting 
youth.  He  has  a  way  of  speaking  the  truth 
as  he  sees  it,  with  no  regard  for  the  feelings 
of  others. 

Crane,    Ruth— -July   31 

Her  profession  is  social  leadershii),  or  the 
arts.  Her  characteristics  are  faith  and  self- 
control,  a  conihination  which  seems  to 
generate  a  magnetic  personality,  which  is 
hard  to  resist. 

Dutty,  Joe-Jnlv  27 

His  professions  are  mannl.icturing  and  lec- 
turing. His  super-sensitiveness  leads  him 
to  great  extremes,  and  his  miserliness,  due 
at  maturity,  has  already-  appeared.  He 
finds  it  vcr\'  hard  to  admit  his  own  olivious 
faults. 

Eyman.   Roliert — Xovemher  30 

He  thinks  quickly,  acts  swiftly,  and  is  cau- 
tious, courageous,  and  self-reliant.  He  is 
unreasonably  irritated  at  unfinished  tasks, 
and  is  not  satisfied  to  succeed,  but  must 
carry   his    friends    along   to   success   also. 

Johnson,  Howard — December  \h 

His  chief  characteristic  is  caution  and  he 
is  gentle  and  quiet,  though  feeling  deeply. 
He  sees  visions  and  sights  quite  beyond  the 
powers  of  his  associates.  He  is  most  grate- 
ful, doing  almost  any  service  to  win  a  caress 
or  a  kindly  word. 

Joss,  Frank— February  9 

His  faults  are  apt  to  be  exaggeration,  pre- 
varication, and  bragging.  His  healing  power 
may  be  highly  developed,  intuitive  know- 
ledge telling  him  when  to  use  it.  His 
characteristics  are:  a  good  niemor\-,  sensi- 
tiveness, and  the  power  of  absorbing  and 
retaining    knowledge. 

Lagger.   Dorothy — June   5 

She  has  a  double  nature,  in  constant  con- 
tradiction of  itself.  She  loves  knowledge,  is 
proud  of  her  ancestry,  is  sympathetic  and 
thoughtful  of  the  poor  and  suffering.  She 
is  naturally  restless,  nervous,  and  hysterical. 

Lennon,  Robert — July  IS 

He  is  jealous,  yet  inconstant,  and  his  de- 
mands are  ever  contradictory  and  unex- 
pected. He  can  accjuire  much  wealth,  but 
will  always  fear  poverty.  He  has  too  great 
a  regard  for  the  showy  things  of  life,  not 
realizing  that  he  is  robbing  the  inner  life 
to  sustain  the  external. 


Mary  Donahue  :     How   does  he  keep  his  wig 
on  ? 

Dorothy    Sandiford :     I   guess    it's   by   suction. 


Helen  Waesco :  I'm  going  to  be  a  boy  in  a 
play.     Can  I  take  a  suit  of  your's? 

VVill  McKee :  Take  one  of  luine?  Sure, 
you  can  use  one  leg  for  a  hobble  skirt  and  the 
other  for   a  sash. 


Help    Wanted — A    companion    to    go    fishing 
at    I.ilv    Cache.     C.   Hanson. 


McGann.  James — January  9 

He  is  gentle  and  retiring,  with  managerial 
abilities.  He  should  be  a  commercial  agent, 
doing  commission  work.  He  likes  the 
things  of  this  life  far  too  well  to  be  con- 
tent to  li\'e  with  love  in  a   cottage. 

Afartin.  John— May  4 

flis  characteristics  are  a  strong  will,  na- 
tural sympathy,  and  courage.  He  is  an  imi- 
tator rather  than  an  originator,  with  innate 
medical  capabilities.  His  worst  fault  is  an 
imreasonable  temper,  which  nothing  lint 
silence  will  quiet. 

Peacock.  Lois — February  22 

She  is  always  glad  to  talk,  whether  it  lie 
about  her  successes  or  failures.  She  meets 
social  engagements  gladly,  but  business  is 
attended  to  for  the  benefits  derived.  Her 
chief  characteristics  are  :  friendliness,  rest- 
lessness, and  great  courage. 

Reid,  \'iva— .\pril  29 

She  pursues  reli,gious  work  with  gre.it 
ardor,  and  devotes  herself  with  great  zeal 
to  those  who  have  faith  in  her.  She  pos- 
sesses the  gift  of  mind  reading,  together 
with  the  gift  of  concentration  and  intuition. 

Roschek,  Kathryn — September  22 

She  has  a  great  respect  for  blue  blood  and 
family.  Her  keen  accuracy-  and  discrimi- 
nating judgment  make  her  a  good  critic. 
However,  she  criticises  the  small  things 
often  without  tact. 

Sandiford,  Dorothy — June  30 

She  is  positive,  strong  natured,  talkative, 
and  literary.  She  likes  money  for  its  own 
sake,  also  elegance  and  display,  Happy  and 
courageous  by  day  she  becomes  distrustful 
and  despondent  by  night. 

Seron.  Vaheh — August  21 

His  characteristics  are  persistent  will,  sen- 
sitiveness, and  domesticity.  He  is  inclined 
to  diseases  of  the  heart,  and  shtuld  guard 
against  prevarication.  Fte  loves  knowledge, 
and  acquires  it  easily. 

Smith,  Cecil — September  11 

He  is  a  natural  philosopher,  and  possesses 
most  accurate  discrimination.  He  should 
show  business  ability  early  in  life.  Wednes- 
day is  his  best  day,  while  the  weeks  fol- 
lowing May  10  ami  September  28  are  also 
Inckx-  ones. 

Switzer.   Willet— August   20 

The  vital  essence  of  his  personality  enables 
him  to  sway  an  audience  or  public  opinion. 
He  has  excellent  judgment,  combined  with 
practical  good  sense  and  spiritual  insight. 
His  profession  is  to  be  the  ministry. 


that's  fuimy  to  me.  (She 
ood  joke  you'd 


Lois  Peacock :     G

^Ir.  Duoglas  :  If  you'd  hea 
kill   yourself   laughing.  

Can  you  Imagine  : 

Harold  Bischnian.  Mildred  Cousins,  and  Irving 
Gaines  as  Capt.  Carlquist's  assistants?  (They

Why  the  baseball  .game  in  Naperville  was

The  JiiniiT  Ciilli-giais  liav  ■  hrrn  iimi  uall  ,■ 
attciitivi  to  tlnir  social  activitif-  this  ycir 
Hardly  a  week  Iras  passed,  since  school  start- 
ed in  earnest,  in  September,  wilhoiit  its  par- 
ticular  event   of  interest. 

Our  attention  was  first  called  to  a  steak 
fry.  On  the  evening  of  October  24,  a  party 
of  Junior  Collegians,  chaperoned  by  Miss  Law 
and  Miss  Spangler,  boarded  the  good  shi]), 
"Milton  D."  and  journeyed  to  Limachcr's 
woods,  where  they  enjoyed  a  steak  fry.  Thus, 
social  afifairs   had   begun   in   earnest. 

Of  course,  Junior  Collegians  are  \er\'  bus;> 
folks,  and  they  cannot  spend  all  of  their  tiniv- 
planning  steak  fries  and  parlies.  So  for  the  nr\l 
month  tlicy  had  to  content  themselvc  with 
Friday  afternoon  social  hours,  and  a  roui^h 
neck  day  thrown  in  every  once  in  a  while  for 
variety's  sake,  until  the  next  great  event  on 
the  social   calendar  appearcil. 

On  November  l(i,  the  Junn.r  College  Chil. 
gave  a  dance  at  tin  (.'onservalory  Hall.  \ 
six  piece  orchestra  composed  of  Junior  Col- 
lege students  furnished  the  music.  Members 
of  the  faculty  were  chaperoncs  at  this  jiarty, 
and  the  dance  proved  to  be  a  great  success. 

Our  attention  was  next  called  to-  the  one 
big  event  of  the  semester:  the  party  at  the 
Country  Club  which  was  held  on  December  2, 
and  was  one  of  the  smartest  afifairs  of  the 
Thanksgiving  season.  Music  was  furnished  by 
Formentoc's  Orchestra,  and  at  eleven  o'clock 
luncheon  was  served  by  the  chef  of  the  club 
Twelve  o'clock,  the  hour  of  departure,  arrived 
too  soon  to  please  the  enthusiastic  group  of 
Collegians  who  attended   the  party. 

With  the  closing  events  of  the  first  semesLe:' 
will  l)e  remembered  the  party  given  in  the 
high  school  cafeteria  on  January  17.  'Twas 
here  that   members  of  the  cast   of   "Conip   Tint 


of  the  Kitchen,"  and  members  ,il  the  ".Mika- 
(!(  "  cast  forg(  t  for  cue  e\  en  ug  the  tr  als  and 
tribulations  of  the  past  week  of  exams,  and 
"tri]ii>ed  the  light  fantastic,"  to  music  fur- 
nished by  Fornicntoe's  Orchestra.  The  only 
drawback  to  this  party  was  the  hour  of  de- 
parture, eleven-thirty,  but  then,  Ihere  were 
high  school  students  in  our  ninKt,  and  they 
simply  had  to   get   to  bed,. 

1  he  spring  activities  were  ushered  in  by 
the  annual  spring  party  held  on  April  2(1,  in 
th<-  Cafeteria.  Klcnore  Adams'  Orchestra  fur- 
nished music  for  the  dancing;  and  through- 
out the  evening  games  were  played  to  break 
llic    sjiell    of   the    dancing, 

rile   final    touch,   and    that 
was    placed    by    the     banquet 
year  students  gave  in   honor  i 
students  on   June'  2,   at    six-tlvirt\ 
\va    St.   church.      The   banquet   is

by  the  type  of  program  which  the\  chose.  It 
is   as    follows:

With   the   coming  of  the   new   students   into  mittee   which   plans   games   and   entertainment 
the  Junior   College   in   September,   there   came  for  every  minute  o£  the  hour, 
also  new  ideas  to  develop  with  those  already  On  May  11,  the  Growlers  held  their  Semes- 
there.     These    ideas    took    root    very    early    in  ter  party;  and  here    the    individuality    of    the 
the   school  year,  and  have   developed  into  liv-  club  was  again  shown  in    the    type    of    party

rays  of  gladness. 

(Serious)  For  members  to  become  better 
linguists  and  gain  a  knowledge  of  the  literar\' 
background  of  our  study. 

At  the  beginning  of  last  semester,  Mrs.  Bab- 
cock  suggested  that  her  first  year  College 
French  Class  form  a  cluli.  The  students  eagerly 
acted  upon  this  plan  gnd  formed  L'Aubade. 
Frank  Joss  was  elected  "le  president."  Robert 
Lennon  "le  vice  president,"  and  I,\dia  Converse, 
"la  secretaire  et  le  tresorer." 

Our  club  life  began  when  Feytel  III  extended 
an  invitation  to  L'Aubade  and  to  other  Feytel 
members  ti  a  party  at  Snapp's  cafeteria.  De- 
cember 12.  This  was  the  first  social  function 
L'Aubade  had  the  honor  to  attend.  "Pas  un 
mot  d'anglais!"  It  was  a  struggle  for  L'Aubade 
to  always  speak  French,  but  this  did  not  lessen 
the   joy    thereof. 

In  appreciation  of  the  party  given  us, 
L'Aubade  entertained  Feytel  members  at 
Snapp's  Cafeteria  on  ilarch  20.  Resides 
speeches,   dancing  was  a   pastime. 

On  May  1,  at  her  home,  416  Richards  Street, 
Mrs.  Babcock  gave  a  The-danse  for  the  mem- 
bers   of   the    College    French    clubs.     The    mem- 


bers enjoyed  "beaucoup"   the  hospitality  of  the 
hostess. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  we  studied 
grannner.  This  was  followed  by  the  reading  and 
memorizing  of  fables.  Conversation  was  then 
introduced.  We  then  read  Daudet's  "Le  Petit 
Chose"  and  Labiche's  "Le  X'oyage  de  Monsieur 
Perichon." 

L'Aubade  was  represented  in  a  tableau 
given  April  19  to  advertise  the  year  book.  The 
picture  was  a  sunrise  over  mountains.  F.dna 
Mae  French  and  Joe  O'Cinnell  were  the  repre- 
sentatives  who  watched   the   sunrise. 

The    following   is    Francis    Larkin's    poetic    in- 
spiration  concerning   L'Aubade  : 
L'Aubade  club  est  tres  Iiien, 
And  all  the  members  also 
Madame    Babcock,    notre    professeur 
Just   tries   and  tries  and  tries   so. 
She  tries   and   tries   to  teach    francais 
And  very  well  she  does  it. 
So  dans   notres  tetes   she   hammers   verbs, 
And  surely  makes  us  love   it.

Feytel  III.  French  Club 


Rtady  to  brave  the  dangers  of  unknown  seas 
the  crew  of  the  good  ship  "Feytel  III"  set  sail 
from  the  port  of  September,  under  the  command 
of  Captain  Everett  J.  Shaw  with  Dorothy  Lag- 
ger  as  first  mate.  The  first  few  weeks  out  the 
seas  were  calm ;  everything  went  smoothly,  and 
the  crew  was  in  high  spirits.  But  this  state 
of  affairs  was  not  destined  to  last ;  they  were 
approaching  the  sea  of  "Memorize,"  or  better 
known  on  the  map  as  "le  jVIer  de  Apprendre 
par  Coeur,"  where  man\'  squalls  were  encoun- 
tered, resulting  in  a  few  near  casualties.  Des- 
pondency came  over  some  of  the  members. 
Monotony  and  the  dreary  prospect  of  hard 
work  were  the  causes.  At  the  end  of  the  first 
six  weeks,  entered  in  the  log  book  as  the  "first 
semi-quarter,"  the  crew  was  paid  "each  man 
according  to  his  works."  Here  again  were 
many  disappointments.  Many  felt  that  their 
services  had  been  underestimated,  and  mutter- 
ings  of  mutiny  arose.  These  mutterings  were 
soon  silenced;  the  ship  was  at  the  mercy  of 
"Le  Cid,"  a  treacherous  wind  prevalent  in  that 
quarter  of  the  globe,  and  there  was  no  time 
for  such  thoughts.  Blown  off  the  course,  the 
ship  narrowly  escaped  being  stranded  upon  the 
reef  of  "Eugenie  Grandet."  Then  a  great 
calm,  in  nautical  terms  "Le  Verre  d'Eau",  set 
in.  This  gave  the  crew  a  chance  for  other 
pursuits.  Some  tried  their  hands  at  writing 
verse.     A  few   of   the   gems   are : 

"Un  maison  without  a  cheminee, 

Un    navire    without    a   sail 

What  could   be   so  bad  dans  printemps 

As  exams  you're   sure   to  fail?" 

The  above  was  written  by  Charles  A.  Hill, 
who  assumed  command  of  the  ship  upon  the 
resignation  of  Mr.  Shaw.  "Another  Words- 
worth", was  the  acclaim  which  greeted  the  fol- 
lowing poem,  beautiful  in  its  ni\sticism  and  in- 
tense love   of  nature. 

"It    was    an    agreeable    jour    dans    Springtime. 

The  babbling  ruisseau  did  flow. 

The  larks  and  thrushes  sweetly  sing 

Au  revoir,  hiver,  and  your  snow." 

Some   other   offerings   were  : 

Peutctre  dans   some   future   day  to  come. 


Je  gagnerai  great  fame  in  writing  verse 
Mais,   now  quil   faut   que   J'ecris,   and  I  can't 

think 
Je  simplement   sit   ici,  ct   curse  et  curse."

Nous  avons  une  vive  petite  French  class

Hard  nous   study  nos   lecons 

Nous  parlous  of  ceci  and  cela 

Nous  dig  for  material  pour  notre  cahier 

Some  choses  nous   croyons  tant-blas!

C'est  like  going  from  daylight  to  dark

Dans   Francais   nous  want   our  mark.

A  lew  entries  from  the  log  book  will  show 
that  other  pastimes  were  indulged  in  : 

December  12:  "The  Feytel  III"  put  in  at  the 
piirt  of  Snapp's,  and  shore  leave  was  granted. 
The  ship  was  provisioned  with  ice  cream  and 
cake.  A  cargo  of  perfume  and  candy  was  taken 
aboard.  Our  pleasant  stay  was  cut  short  by 
"Le  Question  d'Argent"  and  we  again  set  out 
to   sea." 

"The  lookout  sighted  a  ship,  longitude  March 
,50,  latitude  4  o'clock.  It  proved  to  be  "L' 
Aubade"  bound  for  the  same  port." 

Around  the  end  of  April  an  epidemic  of 
spring  fever  hit  the  crew,  leaving  the  ship 
under-manned.  In  consequence  it  just  missed 
being  washed  upon  the  rocks  of  "Gil  Bias." 

Mav  1  :  "The  crews  of  both  the  "Feytel  III" 
and  L'Aubade,"  were  entertained  at  the  port 
"416  Richards  Street"  by  Mrs.  Babcock,  the 
pilot." 

Already  shore  lights  can  be  seen  through  the 
seaman's  glass.  This  suggests  a  parting  of 
friends  made  en  voyage.  Addresses  of  travel- 
ing companions  are  being  traded  with  the  idea 
of  exchanging  letters  in  the  future.  The  great 
question  before  us  is  :  Can  we  pass  the  customs 
house?     Is   our   baggage   too   great?

Come  Out  of  the  Kitchen 


During  tlu'  early  part  of  January,  kitchens 
became  most  unpopular  with  Junior  Collegians 
as  well  as  many  of  their  high  school  friends, 
especially  the  pul)lic  speaking  classes.  Every- 
where was  heard  the  cry.  "Come  out  of  the 
Kitchen,"  and  so  well  was  the  summons  obeyed 
that  on  the  evenings  of  January  5th,  6th.  and 
ISth,  over  2500  people  had  abandoned  their  suii- 
per  dishes  to  fill  the  seats  of  the  auditorium  and 
listen  to  an  all-star  cast  of  Junior  Collegians 
present  their  annual  play. 

Never  before  in  the  annals  of  the  College 
had  its  annual  play  been  presented  at  three 
evening  performances,  but,  due  to  the  urgent 
requests  of  many.  Miss  Dickinson  and  the  cast 
gladly  repeated  it  during  the  mid-year  vaca- 
tion. This  unusual  popularity  was  inidoubtedl\' 
due  to  tlie  efforts  of  the  personnel,  most  of 
whom  had  appeared  in  previous  school  perform- 
ances, as  well  as  to  the  splendid  coaching  of 
Miss  Lena  Dickinson. 

The  plot  of  the  three  act  comedy  by  A.  E. 
Thomas  presents  a  destitute,  aristocratic, 
southern  family  who  decided  to  rent  their  home 
to  a  rich  Yankee,  who  stipulates  in  the  lease 
that  there  must  be  no  colored  servants.  The 
expected  white  servants  not  arriving,  the  four 
young  Dangerfields  themselves  decide  to  take 
their  places.  This  rash  scheme  is  proposed  and 
executed  by  Oliva.  the  pretty  "big  sister,"  en- 
acted by  Edna  Mae  French  as  the  heroine,  and 
we  are  sure  that  Miss  Ruth  Chatterton.  who 
played  that  part  on  the  legitimate  stage  would 
have  envied  Miss  French's  charming  manner 
and  perfect  stage  assurance.  In  a  twinkling, 
she    transforms     herself    into     Jane     Ellen,     the 


cook:  her  stubborn  little  sister  Elizabeth,  Ruth 
Crane,  into  an  upstairs  girl;  Paul,  the  yoinig 
law  student,  recognizable  as  Charles  Robson, 
into  a  butler,  and  Charlie.  Harold  Glasgow-,  the 
mischievous  younger  brother,  into  a  "boy  of 
all  work."  This  is  hardly  accomplished  wdien 
the  Yankee  hero.  Burton  Crane,  arrives  to  take 
possession,  and  from  his  first  appearance,  Willet 
Switzer  lives  up  to  his  title  of  our  college 
Romeo.  Burton  Crane  brings  with  him  as 
guests  Mr.  Solon  Tucker,  his  lawyer  friend, 
Elmer  Grohne,  who  "specializes  in  kitchens," 
Mr.  Tucker's  sister,  Mrs.  Faulkner,  "a  dragon, 
a  hen.  and  a  cat,"  Mildred  AlcPartlin,  and  her 
charming  daughter  Cora,  Leone  Bryant,  who, 
disregarding  her  mother's  plans  to  matrimonial- 
ly entrap  Crane,  makes  plans  of  her  own  re- 
garding the  young  poet,  Thomas  LefTerts, 
Joseph  O'Connell.  Lefferts,  in  an  endeavor  to 
see  Cora,  has  a  thrilling  kitchen  experience  first 
with  the  cook  and  then  with  Mammy.  Genrose 
Weaver,  Oliva  Dangerfield's  old  colored  mam- 
my, who,  unable  to  stay  away  longer,  has  come 
back  to  see  her  "li'l  lady  bab3'."  Many  amus- 
ing incidents  take  place  in  which  the  "incom- 
petent servants"  are  involved  and  one  by  one 
Burton  Crane  dismisses  them  and  one  by  one 
protests  of  Raudolf  \Veeks.  Campbell  Carey,  an 
agent  and  friend  of  the  Dangerfields.  to  whom 
the  plot  has  been  confided,  and  the  outcome  of 
the  plans  of  the  young  people  look  doubtful, 
but  all  is  safe  when,  after  much  suspense,  Oliva 
acknowledges  her  love  for  Crane  and  the  play 
ends  as  it  should — "and  they  lived  happily  ever 
after."

The   Mikado 


On  Decemlier  15,  1922,  two  Joliet  audiences 
were  removed  from  the  Here  and  Now  into 
a  land  of  cherry  blossoms  and  kimonas. 
through  the  genius  of  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  in 
their  light  opera,  "The  Mikado,"  which  was 
presented  by  the  Junior  College  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  loan  fund.  The  principals  of  the 
cast  w^ere  all  members  of  the  Junior  College, 
while  the  assisting  choruses  were  composed 
of  students  from  the  high  school  and  junior 
college.     Following  is  a  list  of  tlic  principals: 

The  Mikado  of  Japan Benjamin  Jones. 

Nanki-Poo,   his   son,  disguised   as   a  wandering 

minstrel,   and  in   love   witii   Vum-Yum,

Vum-Yum 

Pitti-Sing 

Peep-Bo 

Three  Sisters,

Gladys   Hansen 

Florence  W'alz 

Loretta  Fisk 

Katisha,  an   elderly   lady   in    love   with    Nanki- 
Poo,    Congetta   Romano 

There  is  a  fascinating  plot,  with  a  great 
deal  of  music,  humor  and  nonsense,  Nanki- 
Poo,  the  son  of  the  Mikado,  fleeing  from  the 
unwelcome  love  of  Katisha,  a  favorite  of  the 
Mikado,     comes     to     Titipu,     disguised     as      a 


second  trombone,  seeking  his  love,  Yum-Yum. 
He  learns  that  Ko-Ko,  a  cheap  tailor,  con- 
denmed  to  death  for  flirting,  has  been  pro- 
moted to  be  Lord  High  Executioner,  and  is 
about  to  wed  Yum-Yum.  Nanki-Poo,  des- 
pairing, resolves  to  die.  The  Mikado  cen- 
sures Ko-Ko  for  laxity  in  office,  and  threatens 
dire  punishment  unless  a  beheading  takes 
place  within  a  month.  Nanki-Poo  agrees  to 
be  the  vactim  if  he  may  marry  Yum-Yum  im- 
mediately. The  chorus  prevent  Katisha's  at- 
tempt to  reveal  Nanki  Poo's  identity. 

In  Act  n,  Y'um-Yum's  w'edding  prepara- 
tions are  halted  by  Ko-Ko's  announcement 
that  the  wife  of  an  executed  subject  must  be 
buried  alive — "Such  a  stuffy  death."  Nanki- 
Poo  heroically  renounces  Yum-Yum,  and 
pleads  for  immediate  execution.  Chicken 
hearted  Ko-Ko  refuses,  and  finally  it  is  ar- 
ranged that  Nanki-Poo  and  Yum-Yum  shall 
elope,  while  Pooh-Bah  makes  out  the  death 
certificate  of  Nanki-Poo  to  satisfy  the  Mikado, 
who  unexpectedly  arrives  at  Titipu.  The  vic- 
tim's death  is  affectingly  described,  and  Kati- 
sha discovers  his  identity  from  the  certificate, 
and  bewails  his  death.  Ko-Ko  faces  a  horr- 
ible death  for  slaying  the  heir  apparent,  who 
refuses  to  come  to  life  until  freed  from  the 
danger  of  Katisha's  tmwelcome  love.  Ko-Ko, 
to  escape  his  dire  peril,  resolves  to  wed  her, 
and  wins  her  consent  in  a  tearfully  funny 
scene.  Nanki-Poo  and  Yum-Yum  receive  the 
Mikado's  blessing,  and  Katisha  accepts  the 
unwilling  Ko-Ko,  who  is  the  only  unhappy 
one.

The  Junior  College  Male  Chorus 


^  Perhaps   you  do   not    know    that    there    are 

4  two    organizations    of   growlers   in    the    Junior 

J  College.     When   you  glance  at   the   first   para- 

,J  graph  of  this  and  pass  to  the  next  article  you 

s  ,  will    have    become   acquainted    with    this    fact. 

'-''  The   first   of  these   growler   organizations   had 

/  the   audacity   to    style   itself   the    "Junior   Col- 

V  lege   Male   E)ouble  Quartet." 

':  This  group  was  gotten  together  at  the  sug- 

gestion of  John  Martin,  Harry  Witkin,  and 
Frank  Joss  to  while  away  a  few  moments  be- 
tween scenes  of  the  Junior  College  play.  We 
appeared  in  all  three  performances  of  the 
play,  under  the  foregoing  appellation,  and 
rendered  "Carry  Me  Back  to  'Ole  Virginny" 
and,  as  encore,  "Way  Down  Yonder  in  the 
Cornfield."  We  received  some  reports  that 
it  was  "rotten,"  but  most  of  them  were  some- 
what complimentary.  Our  personnel  at  this 
time  consisted  of  Fred  Talbot,  Anton  Olivo, 
Harry  Witkin,  Bob  Snure,  Frank  Joss,  Ever- 
ett Shaw,  Ben  Jones,  and  John  Martin.  Bob 
Snure  was  not  present  for  the  third  perform 
ance.  He  had  his  customary  "sore  throat." 
Mr.  Brockett  trained  us  for  our  appearance; 
any  credit  goes  to  him  and  we  will  take  all 
the  blame  (we  get  more  than  our  share  at 
that,  we   believe.) 

After  this  performance,  Mr.  Brockett  sug- 
gested that  we  continue  long  enough  to  try 
to  redeem  ourselves.  We  enjoyed  the  prac- 
tices; so  we  agreed  to  continue  and  to  prac- 
tice Wednesdaj's  and  Fridays.  During  this 
time  we  changed  to  music  requiring  piano 
accompaniment;  so  Margaret  Owen  was  ob- 
tained   for   accompanist.       Her   presence    also 


augmented  the  attendance  at  practices.  Some 
were  interested  enough  in  music  (?)  to  at- 
tend our  rehearsals.  Among  their  number" 
were  Alberta  Miller,  Grace  Mau,  Gladys  Han- 
sen, and   Florence   Walz. 

We  were  asked  to  sing  at  "Growlers"  and 
were  glad  to  comply,  with  "Winter  Song" 
and  "In  Absence."  These  were  well  received; 
so  we  sang  "Gleam,  Brightly  Gleam"  as  an 
encore.  At  this  appearance  we  had  the  same 
persons  who  sang  before,  reinforced  by  Mr. 
Brockett,   Fayette   Shaw,   and   Vaheh   Seron. 

At  the  end  of  the  first  semester  of  the 
year,  the  chorus  was  weakened  by  the  loss  of 
Harry  Witkin,  a  second  tenor,  and  strength- 
ened by  the  addition  of  George  Perkins,  a 
second  bass.  Frank  Joss  was  changed  to 
second  tenor  from  baritone,  and  a  second  bass 
was  made  "utility  man"  to  shift  to  baritone 
when  necessary.  We  were  to  appear,  twelve, 
counting  director  and  accompanist,  at  the 
May  Music  Festival,  but  John  Martin,  Vaheh 
Seroij,  and  Anton  Olivo  "backed  out"  at  the 
last  minute.  However,  we  appeared  and 
sang,  "The  Sword  of  Ferrarra"  and  made  a 
good  try  for  the  "bacon"  even  if  we  did  not 
succeed  in  bringing  it   home. 

Mr.  Brockett  hopes  to  be  able  to  develop 
a  male  chorus  of  twenty-four  voices  in  the 
Junior  College  next  year,  so  that  we  may 
enter  in  the  contest  staged  annually  between 
the  choruses  of  the  colleges  and  universities 
of  this  part  of  the  country.  It  is  not  believed 
he  can  do  this  because  there  are  too  many 
Albertas.  who  will  sav  to  their  Johns,  "Oh! 
DON'T  go  T.ODAY,  John."

OLD  WORLD  ROMANCE 
'Neath  sunny  skies  in  summer  lands. 
She   beckons   us   with   friendly  hands, 
And  calls  us   to  the  golden  sands 
Of  distant  shores,  serene  and  fair. 

Soft  breezes  blow  with   fragrance  sweet 
Across  gay  blooming  fields,  to  greet 
Us   hurrying   on   impatient   feet 
To    keep    a    tryst    beyond    compare. 

In    fancy   free,    e'en    now   we   stand 
Upon   some    far,   enchanted   land ; 
Beauty  and  charm  on  every  hand. 
Greater  than  ever  poet  sung. 

A   tavern   quaint,   a   gleam   of   gold. 
Walls   ivy-clad   and   touched   with   mold, 
Rich   palaces   and   towers    old. 

From  which  gay  minstrels'  notes  have  rung 

It  is  a  magic  of  the  heart. 
Which   touches   castle,   church   or   mart. 
Transforming  all  things  by  its  art — 
Old  World   romance   is  ever   voung. 


Prize    Story 

by 

Genrose   Weaver 

IN  MEMORY  OF 

Captain  Jem  Atwood  was  a  native  of  Cape 
Cod,  which  is  the  same  as  to  say  that  Captain 
Jem  lived  in  his  low,  rambling  white  house,  on 
a  sandy  bluff  overlooking  Southam  Harbor,  from 
one  migration  of  summer  folk  to  the  next.  And 
what  is  more  to  the  purpose.  Captain  Jem  had 
always  been  a  native. 

"Ben  born  an'  raised  right  here  on  the  cape," 
he  would  say  proudly.  "An'  thar  ain't  a  place 
in  God's  wide  world  like  old  Cape  Cod.  No, — " 
here  the  voice  would  grow  husky,  the  gruff  old 
sea  captain  with  his  grizzled  hair,  piercing  eyes, 
and  deepfurrowed,  weatherbeaten  visage  became 
changed.  His  hands  trembled  and  he  became 
astonishingly  older.  "No,"  he  would  continue, 
"though  I  got  to  'How  things  ain't  what  they 
was   in  my   day,   and — never'll   be   again?" 

He  was  right.  Things  had  changed.  In  Cap- 
tain Jem's  daj's  Southam,  like  so  many  other 
Cape  Cod  villages,  had  been  a  flourishing  fish- 
ing hamlet  with  crowded  wharves.  h\iiy  streets, 
many  shops,  and  prosperous  fishermen.  But 
one  by  one  the  older  generation  of  sea-farers 
had  been  laid  to  rest  in  the  old  burying  ground, 
and  the  new  generation,  findind  its  intrest  in 
the  near-by  Hub,  had  left  the  village  practically 
deserted,  save  in  the  summer  months  when  it 
again  roused  after  a  long  hibernation.     Old  home-

steads  were  then  reoccupied,  and  rest  seekinjj 
summer  boarders  swarmed  like  bees,  attracted 
by    its    quaintness   and   its    quiet. 

It  was  summer  now,  and  Southam  was  astir 
with  its  numbers  of  transient  inhabitants.  The 
great  red  sun  was  sinking  over  the  horizon  and 
its  fading  rays  of  sunlight  were  lingering  around 
the  deserted  wharves.  The  captain,  as  was  his 
habit  of  summer  evenings,  was  seated  in  front  of 
his  house  on  the  edge  of  the  bluff,  gazing  out 
across  the  harbor.  From  time  to  time  he  puffed 
at  the  corn-cob  pipe  he  held  between  his  teeth 
and  gazed  before  him,  yet  a  keen  observer  would 
have  questioned  whether  he  saw  anything  of  the 
glorious  scene,  and  in  fact  he  did  not.  He  looked 
out  from  under  his  shaggy  brows  upon  the 
Southam  of  fifty  years  ago.  In  fancy  he  saw 
the  great  sails  of  a  fishing  fleet  filling  before  a 
stiff  sou'easter,  the  well  filled  schooners  skim- 
ming through  the  white  capped  waves.  He  heard 
the  cheering  of  the  crowd  upon  the  shore  and  the 
huzzahing  of  the  returning  fishers.  He  could  even 
distinguish  faces  of  his  friends  upon  the  wharf 
and  himself  at  the  helm  of  one  of  the  fastest 
little  vessels  that  ever  sailed  off  the  Cape  Cod 
coast.  Under  the  softening  inflvience  of  his  day- 
dream the  stern  face  of  the  skipper  rela.xed,  but 
like  a  flash,  he  changed,  the  fancy  gone.  He 
had  heard  a  step  behinl  him,  and  in  on  instant 
the  Captain  Jem  of  the  past  became  the  stern, 
apparently  hard-hearted  hermit  of  the  present, 
asking  or  giving  nothing,  and  thinking,  living 
forever  in  the  past. 

"Lo,  Cap'n,  inighty  fine  sunset  thar."  The 
intruder  came  up  and  stood  before  the  captain 
fumbling  with  a  very  shabby  felt  hat.  His  em- 
barrassment was  evident. 

Gradually  the  captain  turned  and  eyed  his 
visitor  from  his  mop  of  reddish  hair  to  his  dust- 
covered  shoes.  "Ye-es"  was  his  laconic  and 
none    too    hospitable    reph'.      "Ye-es,    Dave." 

Dave,  not  greatly  encouraged,  stood  awk- 
wardly near  offering  no  further  conversation. 
At   last   the  captain  spoke. 

"Waal,  I  cal'late  you  wanted  to  see  me  'bout 
somethin'  didn't  you  Dave?  Folks  don't  gen'rally 
come  up  here  'less  they  do." 

David  Brent  gulped,  then  summoning  all  his 
courage  nodded.  "Waal  yes.  Cap'n.  Do  you 
cal'late  you've  decided  any  different  'bout  the 
yallow  house  down  on  the   P'int  ?" 

The  captain's  jaw  set  tighter.  "No."  The  an- 
swer was  deliberate,  positive.  "Made  up  my 
mind,   I  cal'late,  Dave." 

"Them  summer  folks  pays  good,  an'  they  need 
it   mighty   bad." 

"Cal'late  I've  made  up  my  mind,  Dave,"  reit- 
reated  Captain  Atwood,  and  this  repetition 
brought  the  matter  to  an  end.  In  a  few  moments 
Dave  was  shuffling  off  in  the  direction  from 
which  he  had  come,  and  the  Captain,  knocking 
the  bowl  of  his  empty  pipe  against  his  knee,  rose 
and  entered  the  house. 

The  7 :45  mail  train  from  Boston  was  due  in 
twenty  minutes  and  a  group  of  men  were  loung- 
ing in  front  of  the  Southam  General  Store  and 
Post  Office  awaiting  its  arrival.  Ike  Gould,  the 
postmaster    was    speaking. 

"I  heerd  Dave  was  askin'  Cap'n  Jem  'bout  sel- 
lin'  his  house  to  them  summer  folks  down  on 
the   P'int." 

"Waal,"  observed  another  lounger.  "It  ain't 
the  fust  time  as  Cap'n  Jem's  been  asked  that. 
Xigh  onto  seven  years  they've  been  trying  to  get 
that  house.  'Tvvould  make  a  fine  dance  hall  for 
them  summer  folks,  but  he  hangs  on  to  't  worse 
'n  a  liarnacle.     Says  it's  old  associations  or  some- 


thin'  an'  he  won't  sell  at  any  price.  'Tain't  doin' 
nobody  any  good.  I  cal'late,  and  the  Cap'n  just 
doin'   it    for   meanness." 

"Waal,  I  cal'late  thar'er  mean  folks  an'  thar 
'er  the  other  kind  too,"  philosophized  old  Veeny 
Gill,  the  station  master,  as  holding  his  official's 
cap  in  hand,  he  swung  one  leg  over  a  tonic  case 
and  looked  steadily  at  the  lounger.  "The  Cap'n 
does  'pear  like  the  mean  kind,  but  the  others 
is  like,  waal,  is  like  Miss  Hubbard  I  cal'late.  She's 
that  thar  school  marm  as  come  down  from  Bos- 
ton a  few  weeks  'go  to  summer  at  the  P'int.  A 
mighty  smart  young  w'man  an'  real  good  lookin 
too.  She's  dead  crazy  'bout  young  ones.  I  saw 
her  takin'  a  whole  crew  of  'em  on  a  picnic  day 
'afore  yesterday.  She's  mighty  int'rested,  as  I 
larn,  in  startin'  a  school  here  this  winter  so  af, 
the  youngsters  won't  have  to  cruise  clear  t' 
Orleans,  but  the  school  board  claims  as  they 
can't  'fford  to  build  a  school  house  an'  thar's  noth- 
in'  as  will  serve  'ceptin  Ezra  Pain's  old  barn 
what's  like  a  seive  to  all  th'  elements.  It's  mighty 
too  bad,   I  cal'late." 

Veeny  stopped  speaking  just  as  the  whistle  of 
the  approaching  train  was  heard,  and  immediate- 
ly all  was  stir  in  preparation  for  the  event  of 
the  day — the  arrival  of  the  7:45. 

The  morning  after  David  Brent's  visit  found 
the  captain  plodding  slowly  along  the  main  road. 
The  sun  lieat  unmericfully  down  upon  his  stooped 
figure  leaning  heavily  upon  a  stout  stick,  but  he 
minded  it  not.  slowly  making  his  way,  his  eyes 
fastened  upon  the  ground.  Only  once  did  he  lift 
them  when  he  changed  the  position  of  his  left 
hand  so  that  the  small  Ijouquet  of  fuchsias  which 
he  carried  might  escape  the  direct  rays  of  the 
sun.  On  he  went  until  at  last  he  paused  and 
lifted  the  wicket  gate  of  an  old  cemetery  from 
its  rusted  hinges.  As  it  squeaked  back  and 
he  stepped  in  among  the  weeds  and  half  hidden 
tomb  stones  it  was  as  if  a  host  of  ghostly  figures 
came  forth  to  meet  him.  Friends  long  since 
depa'-ted  but  not  forgotten  accosted  him  at  every 
step.  The  words  of  a  Welsh  folksong  come  to 
him 


My  lips  smile  no  more  my  heart  Ir 


light- 


No  dream  of  the   future  my  spirit  can  cheer, 
I  only  would  brood  on  the  past  and  its  bright- 
ness 

The  dead  I  have  mourned  are  again  living  here. 
He  walked  slowly  and  carefully  through  the  long 
weeds  until  he  came  to  a  grave  that  showed 
the  care  of  loving  hands.  Here  he  knelt  and 
laid  his  offering  of  flowers.  Then  slowly  he  raised 
his  eyes  and  read  once  more  those  simple  words 
w-hich  seemed  so  seered  into  his  soul. 

Here    lies    Rebecca    Paine, 

Age  21 
May   She    Rest   in    Peace. 

Rebecca  Paine,  the  dear  sweetheart  of  the  long 
ago.  Memory  was  kind  and  came  to  sooth  his 
solitude.  He  lived  again  those  happy  days  when 
with  a  golden  haired  girl  he  trod  the  lanes  of 
Southam,  full  of  the  joys  of  life  and  love.  Cap- 
tain Jem  was  not  one  to  forget.  In  spite  of  the 
years  which  divided  the  young  man  from  the 
old,  he  loved  still  as  deeply  and  as  truly,  and 
clung  to  all  that  was  near  or  dear  to  the  lovely 
Rebecca  with  hopeless  tenacity.  He  leaned  nearer 
the  grave  and  almost  inaudibly  murmured. 

"Becky.  Becky,  you  wouldn't  have  me  sell  our 
little  house,  would  you?  The  little  house  where

Now  the  names  of  these  seventy-five  members 
I'll  tell; 

They  deserve  recognition,  and  deserve  it  full 
well.

Mae   French, 

Fred  Anderson  too,— Ah,  I  see  a  judge's 
bench !

and   ken. 

Cecil  Smith  is  the  next,  and  beside  him  Ruth 
Stunn, 

They're  a  most  charming  couple,  I'm  sure 
you'll  affirm.

Frances  Beckwith,  Bess  Tiernev,  and  Dorothy 
Dirst 

All  have  hopes  for  good  things,  expecting 
the    worst. 

Then  unlike  them  by  far  is  Miss  Caroline

For  her  cheeks  are  two  roses,  tarnished  gold 
is    her    hair. 

Florence  Walz  is  a  brooklet,  a  clear  one,  I 
think,

Viva  Reid,  Robert  Snure,  and  Kalhryn  Ros- 
chek 

Have  huge  words  on  their  tongues  which  no 
man    can   check. 

And  Maud  Martin  is  like  them,  nnich  learn-

Though  not  all  comes  from  books,  yet  her 
words  are  mighty. 

Russell  Cook,  Howard  Seltzer,  and  Charles 
Robson, 

Francis  Larkin,  and  George  Lofdahl  all  have 
begun 


Jack  Talcott  :     The  only   thing  1  own   is  love; 
when    I  run  out  of  it  I'll  be  broke. 
Leone  Brvant :  Well,  that's  no  lie.

Cecil  Smith :  Why,  you  dub,  it's  for  wash-

To   put   forth   their   best   efforts   and   help   with 

the    work, 
For,     though     bashfid    or     handsC'Uie,    no     duty 

they   shirk. 
Mildred     Cousins,     and     Bee     Sandberg     come 

with  Genrose  Weaver, 
Three  good  workers  are  they,  always  busy  as 

beavers. 
Just    behind    them    another    group    comes   into 

view: 
Leslie    Heintz,    Eben    Grundy,   and   John    Dan- 

zinger,   too. 
They   are   followed   by   others,   Marie   Killinger 

is  one, 
Mary   Louise   Condon   is   next,   and   then   Bea- 
trice  Williamson. 
Irene    Roe   and    Dorothy    Sengenberger   in    or- 
der appear; 
They   will   always     be     ready    to     help,     never 

fear. 
Willet  Switzer,  Ray  Shroba  and  all  of  the  rest 
As    Keith    Sinninger   and   W.illiam    Fouser   are 

classed  with   the  best;

struggle; 
While     Leone     Bryant    with     her     sweet     little 

dainty-like   air 
Attends   every   game.       You    can    count   on   her 

there. 
Then     there's     Blanche     Hills     whose     dignity 

never   is   lacking 
Giving   orders   to   all    those   who     fail     in     their 

backing. 
Mary    Ryan   and   L.    Fisk  have   most   pleasine 

manners; 
If  their  places  are    vacant,    we    miss    quite    a 

chatter. 
There  are  two   other  men  who  are   still   on   the 

list: 
Benny  Greenberg  and  Jack  Talcott,  they  must 

not  be  missed. 
And    then    comes    Alberta,     who     is     wondrous 

bright. 
When    she    makes    a    statement    remember    it's 

right. 
-A.nd   at   last,  but   not   least,  is   Dorothv   Sandi- 

ford, 
To    whom   all   is    pleasure    and    peace    and   ac- 
cord. 
Then   to  guide  all  these  folks,   with   their  work 

to  advise. 
Are    two    faculty    memliers,    kind,    patient,    and 

wise: 
Mr.    Trams     and     Miss     Law,     no     two     others 

could  be 
Half    so    good,    we    all    think,    I'm    sure    you'll 

agree.

rear  table,  "Thou  niakest  the  temple  a  thim- 
ble party."  Howbeit,  they  hearkened  not  un-

(let.  11).  13 — And  the  word  came  unto  the

Stiff'  (Rough)  Necked!  Go  thv  wavs  and  fashion 
thyselves  decently"  (Thur.  (Dct.  26).  17— Now, 
brethren,  a  certain  man  named  Seltzer  was  ex- 
ceedin.gly  fair  to  look  upon.  And  he  saith  unto 
himself,  "I  shall  proclaim  abroad  my  beauty"

Baseball 


With  the  opening  of  school  came  the  caU  for 
basketball  men,  and  a  fair  number  reiponded. 
Witli  just  a  few  men  with  basketliail  ability  our 
prospects  for  a  hundred  per  cent  standing 
throughout  the  season  looked  poor,  but  under 
the  coaching  of  "Mike"  Gates  we  soon  began 
to  round  into  shape  and  prospects  began  to 
look  brighter.  Due  to  the  fact  that  the  high 
school  light  and  heavy  weight  basketball  teams 
practiced  after  school  and  occupied  the  gym 
from  -1  o'clock  to  6  P.  M.,  we  had  to  practice 
after  supper  at  7  P.  M.  and  for  a  time  only  two 
nights  a  week  were  devoted  to  basketball.  Of 
course,  this  was  a  handicap  to  us.  but  then  we 
made  the  best  of  it  and  worked  hard  to  put  over 
a   winning   team. 

Our  first  game  was  with  Aurora  College  at 
Aurora,  and  we  lost  a  close  game,  with  the 
final  score  22  to  18.  Our  line  up  was :  Jim 
Meers  at  center;  Walt  Morrison  at  right  for- 
ward; Bob  Eyman  left  forward;  Vaheh  Seron, 
right  g:uard;  and  Joe  Duffy,  left  guard.  In  this 
game  it  could  easily  be  seen  that  we  had  not 
found  ourselves,  and  we  needed  a  good  deal 
of  practice  to  accomplish  team  work.  In  our 
next  game  we  had  the  good  fortune,  so  to 
speak,  of  having  John  Douglas  and  Jim  Barr 
with  us.  Their  coming  strengthened  our  team 
considerably,  but  nevertheless  we  lost  our  sec- 
ond game  to  the  American  College  of  Physical 
Education  of  Chicago,  the  score  being  20  to  15. 

We  players  felt  that  there  was  something 
radically  wrong,  for  we  were  losing  to  teams 
that  we  felt  were  inferior  to  us.  Consequently, 
Coach  Cates  arranged  for  more  practice  ses- 
sions, and  we  pinned  ourselves  down  to  real 
work.  The  scrinmiages  with  the  Bell  Telephone 
and  High  School  teams  made  us  feel  more  con- 
fident of  ourselves  (which  is  half  of  the  battle), 
and  we  showed  a  great  improvement  when  we 
met  our  next  opponent,  Chicago  Tech  College, 
beating  them,  29  to  19.  The  winning  of  this 
game  gave  us  new  spirit,  and  we  worked  hard 
for  the  coming  game  with  Mt.  Morris.  The 
fans  who  v\'itnessed  this  game  will  agree  with 
me,  when  I  say  that  it  was  the  best  game  that 
had  been  seen  around  Joliet  this  year.  The 
game  was  close  throughout  and  ended  with  a  tie. 
IS  to  IS.  However,  in  a  five  minute  overtime  per- 
iod, we  nosed  them  out  by  one  point,  the  final 
score  being  18  to  17.  Though  the  team  as  a  whole 


played  a  good  game,  the  first  honors  should  go 
to  VValt  Morrison,  who  caged  four  baskets, 
wdiich  kept  us  in  striking  distance  of  Mt.  Morris 
throughout  the  game.  Bob  Eyman  made  the 
final  point  by  caging  a  free  throw,  which  gave 
us   the  game  by  one  point. 

We  found  little  trouble  in  winning  our  next 
four  games,  beating  St.  Procopius  27  to  7, 
Elndiurst  22  to  12,  Northwestern  Academy,  21 
to  14,  and  Aurora  47  to  10.  It  gave  us  great 
pleasure  to  give  Aurora  a  drubbing,  as  they  had 
beaten  us  in  our  opening  game,  and  we  were 
all  primed  for  them  and  showed  them  that  we 
had  somewhat  improved  since  we  last  met  them. 

It  seemed  as  if  there  was  a  jinx  following  us 
whenever  we  played  away  from  home.  Elgin 
Academy  defeated  us  in  a  fast  game  through- 
out, the  score  at  the  end  of  third  quarter  be- 
ing tied,  but  then,  in  the  fourth  quarter  Elgin 
came  back  and  out-played  us  (but  did  not  out- 
fight us)  and  won  30  to  19.  Following  this  game 
we  went  to  Mt.  Morris  for  a  return  game  with 
them.  It  seemed  as  if  we  just  could  not  get  going, 
and  they  beat  us  31  to  22.  Our  last  game  was 
with  Northwestern  Academy  and  they  beat  us 
in  a  fast  contested  game. 

Though  we  lost  these  last  three  games  of  the 
season,  it  did  not  make  us  feel  so  badly  as  we 
had  beaten  these  same  teams  on  our  home  floor, 
with  the  exception  of  Elgin,  with  whom  we  did 
not  pla_v  a  return  game. 

Sunniiing  up  our  basketball  season,  we  can- 
not boast  of  really  having  a  successful  season, 
but  nevertheless  we  won  60%  of  our  games. 
The  "one  thing"  we  can  boast  of  however,  is  a 
"fighting  team";  they  were  of  the  spirit  that 
says,  "never  say  die".  The  team  was  composed 
of  real  sports,  who  never  boasted  when  they 
won,  and  never  kicked  when  they  lost.  Thus 
ended  the  season,  with  much  of  their  success 
due  to  the  unfailing  efforts  of  Coach  Cates. 

Here  are  the  names  of  the  survivors  of  the 
season  who  deserve  the  credit  of  the  Junior 
College  and  public  in  general. 

"Bob"  Eyman — a  worthy  captain,  brainy  for- 
ward, and  a  consistent  player. 

"Walt"  Morrison — a  slim  lad,  a  forward  with 
a  dead  eye,  and  there  with  the  goods. 

"Chuck"  Woodruff — the  redheaded  lad,  who  is 
difficult  to  keep  track  of  when  he  gets  going.

Baseball 


Immediately  following  the  close  of  the  basket- 
ball season  a  call  was  sent  to  the  Junior  Col- 
legians lor  baseljall  men.  The  first  night  look- 
ed very  promising,  as  we  had  about  twenty  men 
report  for  practice,  but  by  tlie  time  the  first 
game  was  scheduled,  the.\-  had  thinned  out,  and 
now  we  have  approximately  eleven  men  re- 
porting for  baseball  practice.  However,  these 
eleven  men  have  plenty  of  fight  and  baseball  in 
tlicni ;  so  we  have  developed  a  team  that  will 
compare  evenly  with  previous  Junior  College 
teams. 

Our  first  game  was  sclK'duled  with  Mt. 
Morris,  April  14,  but  due  to  the  bad  weather 
the  game  was  called  off.  Our  next  game  was 
scheduled  with  Northwestern  Academy  of  Kap- 
erville.  Illinois.  April  21,  but  again  the  we.ilher 
was  unfavorable  for  l>aseball.  and  the  game  h.id 
to  be  postiioned  to  Wednesday.  April  2.5 

The  first  game  showed  that  the  Junior  Collejc 
team  had  plent\-  of  stuff,  scoring  five  runs  in 
the  first  two  innings,  and  three  more  runs  wen- 
added  to  this  number  before  the  game  had 
terminated,  while  the  best  Northwestern  coii'd 
do  was  to  score  one  lone  run.  The  final  score 
was  8  to   1   in   favor  of  Joliet. 

Al  Siegrist,  the  College  pitching  ace,  perform- 
ed in  great  style,  allowing  the  opponents  onl>' 
two  liits,  and  striking  out  eight  batters. 


This 


li^i 


showi'd  C(  acli  Cates  that  h 
a  snappy  infield  and  an  outfield  that  can  lield 
the  ball  well.  He  also  discovered  fme  real 
hitters,  namely,  Woodruff,  Ta'hct.  and  Eyman. 
The  lineup  for  the  game  was  as  follows  : 


Joliet

The  next  ,uame  ua-.  with  St.  Proc-  pins,  claim- 
ed to  be  tne  of  the  best  teams  in  their  section 
,ind  the  hardest  team  of  our  entire  schedule. 
April   I'i,. 

It  was  a  hectic  game,  but  mark.d  with  plent\- 
of  excitement.  At  the  end  of  the  fifth  frame  the 
visitors  were  leading  by  a  score  of  5  to  2. 
Joliet  evened  the  score  in  the  sixth  inning.  In 
the  eighth  frame  St.  Procopius  made  a  four- 
run  rally.  In  the  ninth  innin,!;,  tlirru.gh  the 
slugging  of  Jack  Talcott  we  (ied  llii'  score  10 
to  10.  l£ach  team  scored  two  runs  in  flu- 
eleventh.  By  bunching  three  hits  in  the  thir- 
teenth inning,  St.  Procopius  scored  three  runs; 
the  final  score  being  St.  I'rocop  us  15  ami  loliet

with  their  Rhetoric;  and  o'er  Chemistry  would 
jionder.  Now  the  battle  that  confronts  them 
is  not  half  so  pleasant  a  one;  a;ul  the  fates 
are  not  sci  tender,  as  they  were  when  we  were 
young. 

There  was  "Fred",  wln.i  roared  announce-

Farewell  Oration.

1  have  lieen  asked  this  evening  to  give  an  ora-

here,  and  look  at  this  gi£ai_maanificent  and  in-tel- 
lect-u-al  gathering  before  me.  1  am  sure  that  they 
do  not  need  anyone  to  tell  them  that  stu''  '-  ' 
diligently  has  its  iust  rewards  and  that  havi"? 
an  aim  in  life  sours  one  on  to  greater  deeds,  and

to  thank  Miss  Law  and  Mr.  Trams,  who  with

wrote  this  oration,  I  was  asked  by  nearly  every 
member  of  the  graduating  class  to  tell  you.  the 
prominent  members  of  the  Growlers,  some  things 
that  we  would  like  to  leave  behind  as  reminders 
of  our  good  will  and  to  show  our  sincerity  to-

admiration  of  the  class  of  '23;  To  Blanche  Hills 
— Lois  Peacock's  ability  to  giggle;  to  Margaret 
Cummings,  Ruth  Crane  leaves  the  balance  of  the 
treasur}'  to  lie  used  to  buy  a  pair  of  rubber  over- 
shoes for  detective  work.  We  are  sure  that  she 
will  need  them  in  dealing  with  the  class  that  is 
to  be  our  succssC'T.  To  the  basketball  team  o) 
next  year,  we  leave  you  the  ability  of  Bob  Eyman 
and  Joe  Duffy.  "Hee-haw"  Seron  couldn't  be 
induced  to  surrender  his.  To  all  future  class 
presidents.  Fred  Anderson's  ability  to  convince 
Mr.  Trams  of  the  said  President's  unerring" 
judgment,  To  "Browk"  Steen.  the  musical  gifts 
of  Dorothy  Sandiford.  "Music  hath  charms  to 
soothe  this — this — savage  beast."  John  Martin 
wishes  to  leave  behind  a  wonderful  example  for 
others  to  follow ;  especially  "Brick"  Shaw  and 
K.  Y.  W.  Sinninger.  To  "Beanie"  Greenberg. 
clever  as  he  is.  the  histrionic  gifts  of  Frank  Joss. 
To  Howard  Seltzer.  Bill  Switzer's  executive  abil- 
ity, but  not  his  beauty.  He'll  feel  the  need  of 
that,  he  fears,  and  couldn't  be  induced  into,  leav- 
ing it  behind — even  with  "Howdy"  who  needs 
it  so  badly !  To  Campbell  Carey  and  Clark 
Woodruff",  the  example  of  all  the  members  of 
this  class,  to  keep  quiet  on  all  occasions — even 
when  in  the  midst  of  ladies.  To  George  Lofdahl. 
Kathyrn  Roschek's  ability  to  talk  on  any  sub- 
ject from  rowing  a  boat  to  making  love.  To 
anybody  who  needs  it — listen  to  this  in  particular, 
because  I  fear  some  of  you  might  have  need  of 
this ;  after  many  years  of  developing  it  to  a 
point  of  accuracy,  Bob  Lennon  leaves  anyone  his 
l)luft" ;  apply  earlj'  and  avoid  the  rush.  To 
filadys  Hansen.  Viva  Reid's  ancestors;  she  thinks 
she  doesn't  need  them  any  more — she  can  face 
the  world  behind  her  coat  of  paint.  "Cee"  Smith 
says  that  anyone  wishing  to  attain  his  success  in 
life  at  such  an  early  age  should  keep  thia  i-.i 
mind ;   "Go  to   bed  when   you   please,  and   lay  at 


One    Hundred    For 


your  ease,  And  you'll  die  just  the  same  of  some 
Latin  diesase."  To  Joe  Wliitwam  and  "Les" 
Heintz.  the  right  to  dance  the  hesitation  waltz, 
the  fox  trots,  the  one  steps,  and  the  Venus  waltz  ; 
and  permission  to  sing  the  latest  Russian  song. 
"Wishihadawhisky."  To  Joe  O'Connell.  Dot  Lag- 
i>er's  box  of  cough  drops,  which  she  finds  has 
helped  her  much  in  her  singing  ability — especially 
during  French,  when  there  is  no  piano  to  accom- 
l>any  her.  To  yi:ur  class,  all  such  boys  as  are 
al)le  to  keep  pace  yith  the  brilliant  girls  that 
compose   the   majority  of  our  class. 

Yet,  all  these  farewells  are  as  nothing  com- 
pared to  the  farewell  we  must  make.  We  must 
leave  behind  something  needing  protection :  you 
ask,  "What?"  and  I  answer,  "The  Cirowlers."  It 
needs  our  help  as  much  as  the  "League  of  Xa- 
tions"  needs  America,  or,  as  much  as  Prohibition 
needs  ^'olstead.  But,  a  League  of  Nations  was 
accomplished,  and  so  it  will  lie  with  the  (irowlers, 
only  more  so!  Just  tliink  of  what  a  future,  with 
the  silver-tongued  eloquence  of  a  Johnson.  You 
are  all  probably  familiar  with  Howard's  form 
in  patriotic  speeches:  he  was  held  up  by  Miss 
Dickinson  as  having  the  best  form,  for  patriotic 
speaking  she  ever  saw.  Xbw.  when  she  says 
this,  it  means  something.  Imagine  what  you  are 
missing  by  not  having  (poses  wdth  one  arm  ex- 
tended and  one  foot  lifted  off  the  ground:  in  a 
loud  voice)  Patriotism!  Patriotism!  I  cannot 
do  justice  to  his  form — not  having  tiie  logic  of  a 
Bryant.  I  hear  that  she  can  talk  to  a  teacher 
for  five  minutes  and  raise  her  mark  five  points — 
well,  that's  more  than  most  of  us  can  do  by 
talking  to  a  teacher  for  five  months.  And,  also 
think  of  what  you're  missing  bj'  not  having  the 
good  cheer  of  a  Shrolia.  I  wonder  if  Ray  will 
smile  for  us  now?  (Ray  smiles  sweetly)  Yes, 
I  guess  he  will ! 

Alas,  mjf  friends,  the  loss  of  these  eloquent- 
log-i-cal.  wit-ty,  and  cheerful  people  are  the 
costs  of  progress,  and.  since  you  are  to  be  handi- 
capped somewhat  by  losing  such  celebrities,  al- 
low me  to  give  you  a  little  serious  advice  in 
conclusion : 

Attempt,  and  do  your  best,  to  make  the  Grow- 
lers an  organization  for  the  betterment  of  the 
school — both  socially  and  intellectually.  This 
can  be  accomplished  in  only  one  w-ay — by  making 
opportunities  and  taking  advantage  of  them. 
Making  opportunities,  I  say,  and  not  waiting  for 
them.  There  is  a  popular  belief  in  the  minds  of 
young  men — perhaps  more  than  in  young  women 
— that  much  in  your  lives  depends  on  luck.  The 
longer  one  lives,  however,  the  more  he  is  in- 
clined to  concede  nothing  to  luck.  Luck  mas- 
querades under  other  names,  and  I  say,  that  the 
man  or  woman  wdio  succeeds  in  life,  succeeds 
in  proportion  to  the  ainoimt  of  work  that  he  or 
she  has  done '  .And,  so  it  is  with  a  literary  club 
or  society ;  it  cannot  succeed  and  be  a  credit 
to  a  school  unless  all  the  members  do  their  best 
to  make  it  a  success,  and  I  am  confident,  that  if 
every  member  here  tonight  does  his  or  her  best 
to  make  the  Growders  a  success,  that  in  five  or 
ten  years  from  now.  when  the  Growders  is  widely 
recognized,  you  can  look  back,  point,  and  say 
with  pride:  "I!"  "I'm  a  charter  member  of  the 
Growders!  I  helped  to  make  it  wdiat  it  is  to- 
day!"    LOXG   LIVF.   THE   GROWLFRS! 


THE    GROWLERS'    SONG 

We  are   happy  J.  C.  Growlers 

O  what  joy  we   find  in  life  ! 

Here   within  the  Junior  College 

Far  away  from  worldly  strife. 

O   the  joyous   ties    of   friendships — 

O   the   loyal    lovers,   coo — 

But  to-night  we   sing  the  praises 

Of  our   dear  old   Growlers   true. 

Chorus  : 

The   good  old   Growders   true 
\\'ith  our  dances  and  debates: 
The  good  old  Growlers  true 
Bravely    facing    all   the   Fates. 
Here  oft  arm  in  arm  we  wandered 
Where  the   smiling  moon  peeped  through 
Shedding  down   its  silvery  blessing 
( )n   the   good   old   Growlers   true. 

O  how  dear  are  all   the   Growders 
Loyal  we  through  sun  and  showers — 
For  we  learned  to  love   each  other 
Where  we  spent  youth's  golden  hours. 
In  the  world  of  trade  and  commerce 
Life   will   give   a   darker   view: 
But   to-night   we   sing  the  praises 
Of  our   dear  old   Growlers   true. 

A   Booster. 


Continued  from  page  135. 
we  were  to  be  so  happy  if — if  things  had  been 
different.  You  wouldn't  have  me  let  them  make 
a  dance  hall  of  the  very  room  where  our  children 
would  have  played,  would  you,  Becky?  Our  little 
home.  I  can't  let  'em  do  it.  I  can't."  Here  the 
old  man  buried  his  face  in  his  hands  in  his  great 
anguish.  Poor  Cap'n  Jem.  the  past  was  so  dear 
and  yet  so  far  away.  He  was  so  very  alone.  It 
was  nearly  evening  wdien  he  rose,  quiet  and  com- 
posed, and  retraced  his  steps  back  to  the  house 
on  the  bluff. 

Several  days  later  as  the  sun  was  setting,  the 
customary  group  of  loungers  gathered  in  front  of 
the  General  Store  and  Post  office.  David  Brent, 
who  was  among  the  number,  was  busily  engaged 
in  i)iling  up  empty  tonic  boxes.  Suddenly  some 
one  spoke  his  name.  "Dave.  Dave  Brent."  The 
owner  of  the  name  glanced  up  into  the  face  of 
Captain  Jem.  There  was  no  hardness  in  the 
captain's  eyes  now  as  he  said. 

"Dave,  though  I  cal'late  I've  made  up  my  mind 
'bout  sellin'  my  yallow  house  to  them  summer 
folks,  still,  seein'  as  I  had  a  vis'tor  the  other 
day,  you'd  'blige  me,  Dave,  if  next  time  you're 
deiiverin'  down  at  the  P'int  you'd  tell  her  that 
Cap'n  an'  Mrs.  Jem  .Atwnod  will  be  pleased  as 
to  see  their  yallow  house  used  as  the  school  house 
this  winter." 

Then  without  another  word  he  walked  off 
leaving  the  astonished  Dave  aghast  with  amaze- 
ment to  lean  against  the  tonic  cases  and  gasp. 

"An'  there  never  was  no  Missus."

ROOM  209 


Year  Book  Clubs 


This  year  J.  T.  H,  S.  faced  the  \-early  prob- 
lem ;  the  school  needed  a  year  book.  Accord- 
ingly, plans  were  laid  for  a  year  book  spon- 
sored b\'  the  senior  class.  The  staff  felt  that 
a  year  book  was  too  big  an  undertaking  to  be 
undertaken  by  one  class  alone.  It  was  a  pro- 
ject that  should  be  backed  by  the  whole  school, 
each  class  sharin.g  in  the  work  beforehand  and 
in  the  praise  when  a  good  annual  appeared. 
The  school  needed  the  year  book,  but  more 
than  that  the  year  book  needed  a  school ;  and 
it  needed  the  whole  school,  not  just  a  few  upper 
classmen  whose  talents  in  the  literary  or  busi- 
ness line,  the  years  had  in  some  measure  de- 
veloped. It  needed  every  Freshman,  Sopho- 
more, Junior  and  Senior,  talking  it,  thinking 
it,  subscribing  for  it,  getting  others  to  subscribe 
and  getting  ads  for  it.  The  staf^^,  postponing 
their  lunch  for  two  whole  periods  gathered  in 
solemn  conclave.  At  length  after  much  pro- 
posing and  deposing  they  had  a  sweet  vision  of 
lunch  almost  in  hand  or  in  mouth,  as  it  were, 
for  they  had  arrived  upon  a  scheme.  It 
wasn't  a  startlinglv  new  or  original  plan,  but 
it  was  w-orkable.  Within  the  next  few  days  the 
information  went  out  from  the  "J"  office,  that 
to  any  group  of  twenty  or  more  people  in  the 
school,  either  previously  organized  or  willing 
now  to  organize,  bringing  in  four  dollars  and 
fifty  cents  worth  of  business  per  capita  to  the 
year  book,  either  in  subscriptions  or  ads,  would 
be  given  a  half  page  in  the  year  book  to  use 
in  any  w-ay  they  mi.ght  desire. 

These  pictures  and  writeups  are  the  result 
of  the  response  to  this  plan.  The}-  do  not 
represent  alone  a  group  of  people  organized 
among  themselves.  They  mean  time  after 
school  taken  from  personal  duties  to  go  into 
the  business  places  all  over  the  city  trying  for 
ads,  almost  always  gladly  given,  the  subscrip- 
tions of  these  people  and  of  all  the  others  from 
whom    they    could    separate    from     seventy-five 


cents  and  whose  signatures  they  could  get  on 
the  dotted  line.  They  mean  a  lot  of  good  hard 
cash  turned  into  the  year  book  treasury,  but 
more  than  that  they  mean  the  personal  interest 
of  several  hundred  people  in  the  year  book. 
They  mean  that  when  the  year  book  is  out 
these  people  can  jKiiiU  to  certain  ads  and  say, 
"This  is  the  ail  that  I  solicited."  They  mean 
that  not  only  dollars  were  brought  into  the 
year  book  treasury,  but  school  spirit  and 
loyalty  were  brought  in  to  that  great  invisible 
treasury  that  we  call  our  school.  And  though 
the  pages  show  many  groups,  they  are,  after  all, 
only  one  l)ig  group,  a  hard  w'orking,  wide  awake 
crowds  of  folks  boostin,g  each  in  his  way  to 
put  over  a  big  project  because  the  school  needed 
a  year  book  and  the  year  book  needed  a  school- 
There  are  several  groups  whose  quota  did 
not  come  up  to  that  required  for  the  half-page 
space,  but  whose  w-ork  was  noteworthy.  The 
class  in  Business  Writing,  composed  of  students 
in  the  Junior  College,  conducted  a  Direct-by- 
Alail  advertising  campaign  in  which  each  mem- 
ber of  the  class  wrote  a  series  of  letters  to- 
students  in  the  high  school  urging  them  to  pur- 
chase year  books.  This  was  a  campaign  in 
which  it  was  of  course  impossible  to  measure 
returns. 

The  girls  in  the  A  IV  Shorthand  classes 
mixed  business  with  pleasure  and  decided  that 
they  would  have  a  party  as  soon  as  they  aver- 
aged two  subscriptions  to  the  year  book  for 
each  member  in  the  class.  \Ve  understand 
that  they  are  to  have  their  party  in  a  few  days. 
The  "J"  Literary  Club,  under  Miss  Jones, 
contributed  forty  dollars  in  subscriptions  and 
advertisements,  while  a  group  of  industrial  and 
trade  students  from  the  Plumbing  Department 
sold    about    thirty    copies. 

To  Room  j09  goes  especial  honor :  It  has 
the  enviable  record  of  being  100%  in  subscrip- 
tions.

Clubs  That  Made  Possible  the  New  En&lish  Club  Room 


The  above  five  pictureh  represent  Miss  Gil- 
pin's five  English  classes,  which  are  organized 
into  clubs,  the  purpose  of  which  is  not  only  to 
teach  the  student  the  required  English  work  but 
also  to  educate  them  along  other  lines.  For  ex- 
ample, the  chairman  learns  how  to  preside  at 
a  meeting  according  to  Roberts  Rules  of  Order. 
The  Secretary  learns  how  to  write  minutes' 
correctly.  The  treasurer  learns  somethiiTg 
about  book-keeping  (for  we  have  dues  and  a 
bank  account. )  We  also  have  committees  who 
learn  how  to  work  together  and  make  reports 
properly.  We  are  kind  and  thoughtful  too, 
for  we  have  our  flow-er  committee  which  sends 
flowers  to  any  members  of  our  club  who  may 
be  sick.  We  learn  how  to  vote,  for  we  have 
our  regular  election  every  Tuesday  and  the 
Judges  of  Election  count  the  votes.  Every 
week  we  have  new  officers  so  that  everyone 
will  have  a  chance  to  learn  the  duties  of  each 
office.  Each  club  has  dues  of  from  five  to  ten 
cents  a  week.  This  organization  of  classes  also 
helps  to  develop  initiative  and  teaches  self 
government. 

Each  club  has  a  business  meeting  and  a  pro- 
gram every  Friday  during  their  regular  class 
period.  For  their  program  the  Freshman  class- 
es give  current  topics  from  the  Literary  Digest, 
but  the  Juniors  have  debates.  While  these  are 
organized  on  the  same  plan  as  University  de- 
bating teams  and  we  learn  to  judge  argu- 
ments and  fallacies,  yet  they  certainly  are  a 
lot  of  fun  too,  for  we  have  some  exciting  times. 
The  debates  close  with  a  joint  debate  between 
the  two  Junior  Clubs,  the  losers  to  furnish  the 
eats  for  a  picnic. 

In  spire  of  all  our  work  we  have  lots  of  fun, 
too.  The  Thrifty  Crusaders  invited  the  nrem- 
bers  of  the  Best  Ever  Club  to  a  picnic.  The 
Jolly  Juniors  and  the  Top  Notch  Club  invited 
the  J.'  T.  H.  S.  Boosters  to  one  and  finally^  in 
the  best  spirit  of  co-operation  both  picnicking 
parties  feasted  together. 


Aliss  Giljiin  has  had  her  classes  organized 
into  clubs  for  the  past  ten  or  twelve  years. 
Most  of  these  years  they  have  given  the  greater 
part  of  their  money  for  philanthropical  pur- 
poses away  from  home.  They  supported  nint 
French  orphans  and  helped  starving  Russians 
and  Europeans,  the  near  east  and  others.  But 
this  year  since  we  have  such  a  wonderful  new 
building  we  decided  to  turn  our  attention  and 
our  treasury  toward  home 

Something  new!  An  English  club  room.  It 
is  to  be  a  nice  cozy  homelike  room  with  a 
fireplace  at  once  end  and  book  cases  full  of 
books  on  each  side  and  a  rug  on  the  floor  and 
a  library  table  in  the  center  of  the  room  with 
a  tapestr}'  cover  and  tapestry  hangings  to 
match  and  cozy  chairs  (rocking  chairs,  too)  and 
lamps  and  classic  pictures  on  the  wall  and 
everj'thing  imaginable.  It  really  sounds  too 
good  to  be  true  for  school,  doesn't  it  ? 
But  we  hope  it  will  be  true.  Then  stu- 
dents can  come  there  and  read  and  look 
at  the  pictures,  and  it  will  develop  their  love 
of  cultural  and  good  literature  and  arts.  Some 
da^r  we  hope  to  have  a  projection  lantern  and 
even  a  radio.  Each  club  is  to  buv  something 
for  the  room,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  club 
next  year  will  continue  the  work.  This  brilliant 
idea  was  suggested  by  our  teacher.  Miss  Gilpin, 
and  with  the  co-operation  of  Doctor  Smith 
and  Miss  Gilpin's  help  we  hope  to  carry  the 
project  through.  The  five  clubs  united  on  this 
project,  and  they  were  so  eager  to  obtain  money 
for  their  work  that  they  held  a  bakery  sale  at 
which  they  made  about  fifty  dollars.  With 
this  money  and  a  little  more  they  bought  Mark 
Twain's  complete  works  in  twenty-five  volumes 
and  James  Whitcomb  Riley's  works  in  ten 
volumes  for  the  club  room.  Then  with  their  dues 
each  class  is  going  to  buy  something  else  for 
the   room.

PUBLIC  SPEAKING  (Periods  11-12) 


PERIODS    1-2 

J.  T.  H.  S. 
May   18,    1923 
Dear  Jean  : 

In  ,\oi;r  last  letter  you  said  you  didn't  think 
our  public  speaking  class  was  snappy,  and  if 
you  still  feel  that  \va\-  just  drop  in  during  one 
of  our  trials  or  debates.  We  have  a  peppy 
teacher,  and  everybody  in  the  first  public 
speaking   class   has   caught   it.     It's    infectious!! 

When  it  was  announced  that  we  could  have  a 
half  page  in  the  Year  Book  for  getting  ninety- 
nine  dollars  worth  of  ads  and  Year  Book 
suljscriptions.  everyl)ody  got  busy  and  brought 
home  the  bacon. 

But  how  could  our  class  be  otherwise  than 
snappy,  for  if  there  is  the  slightest  neglect  on 
the  part  of  the  student  it  calls  forth  a  snappy 
lecture    from    our   snappy   teacher. 

Our  Public  Speaking  class  furnished  a  good 
share  of  the  material  that  made  up  the  cast  for 
the  Senior  Play,  and  went  over  the  top  in 
selling  tickets  for  Ijoth  the  Senior  and  Junior 
College  plays 

Now  I  think  you  will  agree  that  we  are  a 
snappy  class,  have  a  snappy  teacher  and  do

PERIODS  5-6 
Dear   Jean. 

Just  cast  your  piercing  eyes  upcn  this  picture 
of  the  fifth  and  sixth  period  public  speaking 
class.  Don't  you  envy  us?  We  really  are 
pretty  good  even  if  our  looks  do  deceive  us. 
When  we  go  over  to  the  Lutheran  church  all 
you  can  see  or  hear  is  pep.  There's  pep  in 
our  speeches,  there's  pep  in  cur  actions,  there's 


pep  in  the  very  atmosphere.  Going  in  and  out, 
Ijackward  and  forward,  pep  is  just  the  same  in 
us.  We  have  always  been  on  the  job  wlien- 
ever  there  were  play  tickets  to  sell,  or  some 
activity  to  boost  either  in  our  school  or  out- 
side. Just  one  hint  from  me.  Jean  when  you 
enter  J.  T.  H.  S.  be  sure  to  sign  up  for  Puldic 
Speaking.  If  you  like  to  lie  original,  here's 
your  chance  get  in  your  stall.  You'll  have  eats, 
and  fun  and  work  and  then — you'll  have  a 
chance  to  be  at  last — Like  this — Behold!  This 
wondrous   class  ! 

Your   Pal, 

Edith    Gibler. 


11th  AND   12th   PERIODS 

Dear  Jean  : 

As  I  was  going  to  my  hotel  I  was  surprised  to 
see  an  undertaker's  ad  which  read,  "Why  walk 
around  half  dead  when  we  can  bury  you  for  a 
cheaper  price?"  Extraordinary  ad?  Yet  there 
are  many  such  people.  Immediately  that  brought 
to  mind  a  picture  of  the  most  living  and  pep- 
py people  I  know.  They  are  the  11th  and  12th 
Public  Speaking  class  and  their  famous  in- 
structor. I  had  the  pleasure  of  being  present 
at  their  Valentine  and  May  Day  program,  their 
banquet,  debates,  trial,  and  Senior  Play.  I 
must  admit  that  never,  in  all  my  years  of 
travel  and  experience,  have  I  enjoyed  students' 
work  so  thoroughly  as  I  did  on  these  occa- 
sions. Thev  are  Public  Spirited  as  well  as 
Public  Speaking  folk,  and  they  back  all  the 
school  activities.  Although  I  have  gained  my 
fame  and  am  well  along  in  years  I  still  regret 
not  having  taken  Public  Speaking.  I  will  en- 
close their  picture. 

Your  Old  Friend, 

Winnie   Jay.

The  Stick-To-It  Club 


If  yuu  d(jn't  IjeliuVL-  we  can  "stick-to-it"  ju^t 
look  at  the  all  day  suckers,  ( |.jll\-poi)s  in  Flap- 
per talk).  And  if  you're  still  in  doubt  listen 
to  this  :  The  day  after  the  announcement  about 
winning  a  half  page  in  the  year  liook  we  de- 
cided, in  our  peppy  English  class  to  have  a 
half  page.  Next  meeting  Dorothy  Emerson  and 
Mattie  Brady  reported  eighty-one  dollars  worth 
of  ads.  That  inspired  us.  We  determined  to 
get  a  full  page  (one  hundred  and  eighty  dollars 
worth  of  business!)  or  bust.  The  whole  nine- 
teen of  us  got  to  work;  ami  in  ks^  than  a  week 
the  total  jumped  to  one  Imndrrd  t\vent\'-seven 
dollars.  Every  Sticker  br,>ii.t;ht  Ins  own  snb- 
rvcrijition  and  one  ni'  re  extr,-[,  ami  lliiis  we  went 
over   the  tO]!. 

Choosing  a  name  for  our  club  was  next.  Lots 
of  snappy  names  were  suggested  until  someone 
nominated  "LolK'-pops."  This  gave  our  readv- 
witted  teacher.  Miss  Mabel  Hunt,  an  idea.  She 
.su.ggested  "Stick-to-it"  with  all  of  the  Stickers 
sucking  lolly-pops  (in  the  picture).  Of  course 
the  response  was  unanimous.  Miss  Hunt  treat- 
ed us  to  the  lolly-pops,  and  there   \'ou  are! 

From  the  very  first  dav  the  .^HI  English 
Class,    eleventh    and    twelfth    I't^riods,    has    been 


full   of   iiep

.\i\\     <  i    Washington's    and 

l'',ven    this    was    made    in- 

nd   extra   reports. 

We  entered  debates  and  speech  making  w^th 
real  aeti  m  Tin  debates  \\ere  fiery  and  well 
argued,  bnt  best  of  all  were  the  salesmen's 
speeches  Nearly  all  of  the  speakers  either 
gave  out  samples  (including  chewing  gum  and 
peanuts)  or  demonstrated  their  goods.  Jimmy 
Lordon  was  Jack  Parson's  demonstrator  for 
roller  skates  and  showed  us  some  fancy  steps. 
Maurice  Burgess  sold  Clay  Beeson  an  auto, 
his  denionstration  car  being  one  of  the  spring 
and  key  variety.  (Wind  'em  up  and  they  spin 
around  the  room).  .A  toy  balloon  vender  kept 
us  roaring  in  an  impersonation  of  the  well 
known    circus    salesman 

Poems  and  versihcati'  n  brou.ght  more  fun  in 
the  form  of  limericks  and  funny  verses,  some  of 
which  appear  in  the  Year  Book. 

And  yet  all  of  the  Stick-To-Its  agrej  they've 
never   soaked   in   more   English   in   one   semester. 


An  Englishman  and  an  .American  were  dis- 
cussing the    lar.gest   building   they   bad   seen. 

Englishman:  'I  think  Lomlon  has  the  larg- 
est buildin,gs." 

American:  "New  York  lias  the  largest,  be- 
cause wlu'ii  I  was  working  on  the  top  story  one 
morning  1  dropjied  a  hammer  and  wdicn  I  left 
for  lunch  at  noon   it    fell  on   niv  head." 


FOOLISH   AD\  ICE 

The  man  had  skidded  on  the  sli|)pery  bridge 
and  gone  over  into  the  river,  crashing  throu.gh 
the  ice.  -A.  passerby  noticed  him  floundering  in 
the   chill}'   water  and   shouted: 

"Keep   cool   and   I'll   save  you!" 

"Well,"  chattered  the  victim,  "if  I  w-as  as 
sure  of  your  being  able  to  save  me  as  I  am 
of  keeping  cool  I  would  quit  saying  my  prayers 
this  minute." 


P.-iRC     One     HuTuli-ed     Fifty -si: 


Ccntinucd  from  page  151. 

The  clubs  and  their  work  are  : 

Jolly   Juniors — 3-4   periods. 

Motto  :^"B-"   (Be  square). 

They  decided  to  use  their  money  to  buy  bcok 
cases  for  the  club  room  and  to  use  the  ba'anc- 
toward  a  rug. 

Top  Notch  Club — 5-6  periods. 

Motto. — "Always    up — never   down." 

They  decided  to  buy  a  picture  and  frame  and 
to  help  pav  for  the  book  cases. 

The    Best    Ever   Club— 11-12   periods. 

Motto: — "Laziness  travels  so  slow  that  pov- 
erty soon  overtakes  it." 

They  decided  to  buy  a  picture  and  frame  it. 
James  Donahue  offered  to  donate  it  in  the 
name  of  his  class.  They  also  decided  to  com- 
plete an  album  of  authors'  pictures  which  was 
started   by  a  last  _vear's  club. 

Thrifty  Crusaders— 13-14  periods. 

Motto  : — "A  penn}'  a  day  helps  thrift  every 
way." 

They  decided  to  buy  a  glass  and  a  frame  to 
hold  the  names  of  all  the  members  of  the  five 
clubs   who   started  the   English   Club    Rotrn.     .At 


the  top  will  be  engraved  "Thrifty  Crusaders  ' 
They  .are  also  going  to  buy  a  chair,  a  picture 
a  lamp  and  cards  for  the  projection  lantern 
(They  certainly  are  thrifty  and  live  up  to  their 
name.) 

J.   T.   H.   S.   Boosters. 

Motto: — "We  can  do  it;  try  us!" 

Last,  but  not  by  any  means  least.  In  fact 
these  freshmen  boys  are  about  the  most  cner 
getic,  and  we  simply  couldn't  get  along  with- 
out them.  They  decided  to  Ijuy  a  picture  and  a 
cover   for   the   Library  table. 

If  it  hadn't  been  for  the  generosity  of  these 
J.  T.  H.  S.  Boosters  some  of  the  other  clubs 
couldn't  have  been  represented  in  the  Year 
Book,  and  so  they  deserve  special  mention  for 
they  secured  $234.50  for  advertisements.  The 
Best  Ever  Club  secured  $80.00,  the  Jollv  Juniors 
$30.00,  the  Thriftv  Crusaders  $18.00,  the  Top 
Notch  $9.00  Tl  rough  the  J.  T.  H.  S.  Boosters' 
kindness  they  took  the  same  space  as  the  rest 
of  the  clubs  and  donated  the  balance  to  the 
others   who   w'ere   in   need. 

All    pu^h    for    the    English    Club    Room! 


Miss  Haniill:  What  do  you  mean  by 
speaking  of  Billy  Shakespeare.  .Sammy  John- 
son, and  Jack   Keats? 

Earl  L.:  Well,  I  tliought  that  you  said  that 
you  wanted  us  to  l)e  on  familiar  terms  with 
the  best  authors. 


Paul  Sullivan:   I'm  from   Missouri,  show  me. 
Kenneth  Missey:  I'm  from  Elgin,  watch  me. 


He:      \re  you    fond   of   indoor   sports 

She:     Yes,  if  they  know  when   to  go   h:imc. 

Pat  and  Mike  were  to  run  a  race  to  a  tree 
by   different   routes. 

Pat — "If  'oi  get  there  first  oi'll  make  a  mark 
on  the  tree  with  this  chalk,  Mike,  and  if  you 
get  there   first,  you   rub   it   ofT. — Ex.

The  other  night 
I    went   to   the   theater 
With   a   low-brow    friend, 
and  the  orchestra  played 

"The  Little  Brown  Jug." 
.And  he  thought 
It    was   the   national   anthem. 
And  stood  up 
And  I  did  too, 
Darn  him  ! 


Moriat — Since    I    inherited    this    property    I'-

Daisy — Oh,   for  land's  sake.

Boy — "David." 

Teacher — "How  did  he  kill  him?" 
Boy — "He   rocked   him    to    sleep." 


Freshman  goes  in  to  eat  lunch. 
Waiter — "Please,  what  will  you  have  to  drink, 
milk   or   water.'" 

Freshman — "Don't    tell    me,    let    me    guess." 


"Where've  .vou  been?"  asked  Pat  of  his  friend, 
"I've   been   sitting   up  with   a   corpse." 
"You   have?     Was   it   a   wake?" 
"No,   vou  old   fool,   it   was   dead !" 


A  Freshman  tells  us 
That  he  and 
His  girl 

Were   out   riding 
'  And   almost   got   lost 
Trying   to    follow 
The   signs 
To  a  town  named 
Detour.

The  city  girl  boarding  in  the  c^iuntry  spoke  to

"Oh.  it  isn't  that,  ma'am.  She's  expecting  a

Are  You  Going  to  College? 

Every  High  School  student  must  answer 
this  question.  Some  will  go;  others  will 
go  to  work.  To  the  latter  attention  is 
called  to  the  value  of  spare  time  study  with 
an  institution  which  has  enrolled  close  to 
3,000,000  students  in  the  last  thirty-two 
years.     The  I.  C.  S.  produce  results.

A^  FRESHMAN'S   SOLILOQUY 
I'd    love   to   be   a   senior 

And  with  the  seniors  stand, 
A  fountain  pen  behind  my  ear, 

A  note  book  in  my  hand. 
I  wouldn't  be  an  angel. 

For  angels  have  to  sing, 
I'd  rather  be  a  senior 

And  not  do  anything.

"DON'T  USE  BIG  WORDS" 
In  promulgating  your  esoteric  cogitations,  or 
articulating  your  superficial  sentimentalities  and 
amicable,  philosophical  or  psychological  observa- 
tons,  beware  of  platitudinous  ponderosity.  Let 
your  conversational  communications  possess  a 
clarified  conciseness,  a  compact  comprehensible- 
ness,  a  coalescent  consistency  and  concatenated 
cogency.  Eschew  all  conglomerations  of  flatulent 
garrulity,  jejune  babblement,  and  asinine  affecta- 
tions. Let  your  extemporaneous  descantings  and 
unpremeditated  expatiations  have  intelligibility 
with  out  rhodomontade  or  thrasonical  bombast. 
Sedulously  avoid  all  polysyllabic  prefundity,  psit- 
taceous  vacuity,  ventriloquial  verbosity,  and  veni- 
loquient  vapidity.  Shun  double-entrendres,  pru- 
rient jocosity  and  pestiferous  profanity,  obscurent 
or  apparent. 

In  other  words  talk  planly,  truthfully,  sensibly, 
purely,  mean  what  you  say;  say  what  you  mean, 
and  "Don't  Use  Big  Words."

This  is  the  study  room  quiet.  The  murmuring" 
students  and  bluffers. 

Buried  in  books  and  paper,  white,  or  covered 
with   writing. 

Sit  like  busy  bees,  in  a  hive  that  has  been  in- 
terrupted. 

Sit  like  red  hot  molecules,  jumping  all  over  each 
other. 

Loud  from  his  seat  in  the  rear,  the  deep  voiced 
Junior  lover 

Speaks,  and  in  accents  trel)le  answers  the  voice 
of  his   girl. 

Ye   who   believe  in   study,   of   deep   concentration 

in  nature. 
Ye   who   believe   in    the    truth   of    the    story   that 

Juniors  study. 
List    to    the    study    room    noises,    still    heard    in 

room  399 ; 
List   to   a   tale  of   idleness   in   our   studious   high 

school.

TO  THE  BOYS  AND  GIRLS 


"That's  some  kid — got  a  good  head — I'll 
watch  him."  That  is  what  a  Joliet  banker 
recently  said  when  a  fifteen  year  old  boy  tO(3k 
a  little  money  out  of  his  savings  account  to 
pay  the  first  premium  on  a  life  insurance 
policy.  Being  "watched"  with  a  friendly 
interest  by  the  banker  means  a  great  deal  to 
any  young  man. 

Boys  and  girls  with  "good  heads"  and  good  health  are  invited  by 
the  oldest  life  insurance  company  in  America,  The  Mutual  Life  of 
New  York,  to  become  members.  This  company  is  composed  entirely 
of  its  policy  holders,  and  they  participate  in  its  dividends.  Its  forms 
of  insurance  afford  you  an  investment  as  well  as  protection. 

The  e.xamination  for  insurance  is  a  rather  simple  matter,  but  when 
a  policy  is  issued,  it  is  a  sort  of  certificate  that  some  pretty  wise  fel- 
lows in  the  head  office  expect  you  to  live  a  long,  long  time. 

Send  me  your  name,  address  and  age,  and  let  me  show  you  how 
little  it  will  cost  for  a  policy  and  membership  in  the  good  old  Mutual 
Life.  Or,  if  you  prefer,  you  may  call  upon  me  for  full  explanation 
and  figures,  or  let  me  call  at  your  home. 

The  Mutual  Life  insures  men  and  women  from  fifteen  to  seventy 
years  of  age.     This  invitation  is  extended  to  all.

ENGRAVING 


npHREE  tkousand  years  before 
the  time  of  Cleopatra, marvelous  tem- 
ples were  erected,  with  w^alls  and  columns 
decorated  Avith  carvings  and  paintings  o£ 
the  deeds  and  conquests  of  their  tuilders. 

Thousands  of  workman  and  artisans 
had  labored  centuries  to  complete  these 
edifices  w^ith  their  profusion  of  sculptures 
and  paintings.  And  the  world  came  to 
them  and  read  these  stories,  for  the  build- 
ers told  the  stories  in  pictures. 

Today  in  a  few-  hours  w^e  can  tell  your 
story  in  pictures  by  Photo- Engraving 
Broadcasting  to  the  ends  of  the  earth  and 
the  whole  w^orld  can  read,  because,  "Your 
story  in  the  pictures  leaves  nothing  untold."

She  (yawning)  :     "That's  what  I  thought  when 
I    first    met    vou." 


A  small  child  was  shown  a  picture  of  Toan  of

"Who  was  she?"  asked  tlie  child.  "Xoah's 
wife?" 


Excited  voice  (over  the  telephone  to  physi- 
cian)— "Doctor,  m}-  mother-in-law  is  at  death's 
door.  Please  come  and  see  if  you  can't  pull  her

Still,  if  you  locked  up  the  feehle  minded,  whc

One  day,  as  I  chanced  to  pass, 
-A.  beaver  was  damming  a  river. 

And  a  man  who  had  run  out  of  gas. 
Was  doine  the  same  to  his  flivver. 


TAKIXG  THE  MESSAGE 
"Take    the    message    and    I'll    get    it    from    you 

later." 

"Your    little    girl    wants    to    kiss    you    over    the 

'phone,"  e-xplained  steno,^',  demurely. 


T.  M. — My    father   has   a   dangerous   job. 
G.  M. — What's   his   occupation  ? 
T.  .M — He's  foreman  in  a  feather  factory  and 
he's  liable  to  be  tickled  to  death. 


OH,  S.AY! 
He :     "Generally    speaking,    girls    are- 
She  :     ".\re  what?" 
He:     "Generally  speaking." 


THE  LOXG  AXD  SHORT  OF  IT 
I    fear    I'll    never   win    my   girl, 

I'm   in   an   awful   fix : 
For  she  is  over  six  feet  tall 
While  I  am  five  foot  six. 


Henry — "I   could   dance   to   Heaven   with   you.' 
Lois — "Could  vou  reverse?" 


The  Child — "Maw,  will  our  cow  go  to  heaven 

when  she  dies?" 

Maw — "Goodness,    child,    no.      Why?" 

The    Child — "Then,    maw,    we'll    have    to    h.ave 

daddy   send   us   up   our   milk,   won't   we?" 


Frank:     "Loan  me  a  ten  dollar  William?" 
Bill :     "Why  William  ?" 

Frank :     "I'm    not    familiar   enough   with    it   tc 
call  it  bill." 


Sambo :  "Say,  Rastus,  somethin'  funny  hap- 
pened to  me  last  night." 

Rastus     "Dat  so?" 

Sambo:  "Yes,  last  night  I  was  dreaming  I 
was  eatin.g  shredded  wheat,  an'  when  I  woke 
up   half    my   mattress   was   .gone." 


Last  night  I  held  a  little  hand, 

So  dainty  and  so  neat : 
I  thought  my  heart   would  surely  burst. 

So    wildly   did    it    heat : 
N^o  hand  in  all  the  world, 

Could  half  the  pleasure  bring, 
As   the   hand   I    held   last   night 

Was    four   aces    and    a    king. 


Two   withered   old   maids    of    Xarcissus    Said: 
"Why   do  boys   never  kiss   us? 

How   we   wish   that   they   would 
For  if  ever  they  should 
I  might   turn   a   Miss  to  a   Mrs." 


"What's    that    you    say    about    love?" 
Rich :     "Courtship   makes   a    fellow   'spoon'   but 
marriage  makes  him  'fork  o\er.'  " 


.\n  Irish  girl  at  play  one  Sunday  morning, 
on  being  addressed  Iiy  the  priest,  "Good  morn- 
ing, daughter  of  the  evil  one."  meekly  replied, 
"Good  morning.  Father." 


"Did  you  fall?"  asked  Tun  Lonlan  rushing  to 
the  rescue  of  Henry  Schneider  who  slipped  on 
the  icy  pavement. 

"Oh,  no,"  he  replied,  "I  just  sat  down  to  see 
if  I  could  find  anv  four-leaf  clovers." 


"I'm     entering     society."     said     the     Oyster     as 
Mrs.   N'anderbift  swallowed.

Miss   Tappan   sings   concerning   spring. 
And  says  the  Ijird  is  on  the  wing. 
Upon  my  word  that  is  alisurd. 
Because  the   wing  is   on   the  bird. 


"Visitor — When    do   you   intend    to   graduate? 
Ed.     Quinton — Every    year. 


"You're  stuffing  me,"  said  the  dead  chicken  to 
the  cook. 


Inspector — What  is  a  fi>hing"-net   made   of? 
Smart  Boy— .\  lot  of  holes  tied  together  with

Wb.at'll   vou   have?" 


He — That  fellow  acts   like   litmus   paper. 
She—How's   that? 

He — When    he's    with   a   girl   he    turns    pink, 
and  when  he's  alone  he's  blue. 


You   don't    know    why    I'm    mad   at    Tack."      I

PLANTING  TIME 

Spring  is  the  ideal  time  to 
plan  for  fall  planting  — 
shrubs  can  be  selected 
while  they  are  in  bloom 
and  some  planting  may  still 
be  done  this  spring.

ONE  OF   THE   CONTINUATION   SCHOOL   BUILDINGS 

ONE   WEEK 


Franklin  H.,  sporting  a  new  suit:     ''How  d 
you  like  this  fit?'' 

John    Landram:      "Say.    it's    not    a    fit,    it's 
convulsion." 


"James,  have  you  whispered  today  without 
permission?" 

"Onlj'  wunst." 

"Leroy,   should   James    have    said    wunst?" 

"No'm,  he  should  have  said  twict." — E.x- 
change. 


Have  you  a  warning  signal  on  the  front  of 
your  car? 

Yes,  I  have  a  little  round  thing  that  says, 
"Dodge  Brothers." 


LOVE  IN  ANOTHER  FORM 

Do  you  "carrot"  all   for  me? 

My  heart  "beets''  for  you. 

With    your   "raddish"    hair   and    your   "turnip" 

nose. 
M3'  love  for  you  is  as  soft  as  a  "squash." 
Be  as  strong  as  an  "onion." 
If  you  "cantaloupe"  then  "lettuce"  marry. 


The  year  had  gloomily  begun — 
For   Willie   Weeks,   a   poor   man's — 
Sun ! 

He  was  beset  with  bill  and  dun — 
And  he  had  very  little — 
Mon ! 

"This  cash,"  said  he,   "won't  pay  my  dues; 
I've  nothing  here  but  ones  and 
Tues! 

A  bright  thought  struck  him,  and  he  said, 
"The  rich  Miss  Goldrocks  I  will 
Wed! 

But  when   he   paid  his  court  to  her — 
She  hoped,  but  firmlv  said.  "No, 
Thur!" 

"Alas!''  said  he,  "then  I  must  die" — 
His   soul  went  where   they  say  souls — 
Fri ! 

They  found  his  gloves  and  coat  and  hat 
And  the  coroners  upon   them 
Sat!

Wop— Why? 

Teddy  W. — Because  her  marks  are  so  low. 


Seniors  were  born  for  great  things. 
Junior  were  born  for  small : 

But  no  one  has  yet  found  the  reason 
Why  the  Sophomores  were  born  at  all. 


A  busy  guy  is  Henry  Hurs 
He's  always  picking  up  the  girls, 
But  don't  think  he's  a  sporting  gink. 
He  just   works  at  the  skating  rink.

"May  I  hold  your  Palm,  Olive? 
"X'ot  on  \'Our  Life,  Buoy." 
"I  fear  my  Lux  against  me." 


It's  easy  enough  to  look  pleasant 
When  your  feeling  flip. 

But  the  girl  worth  while 
Is  the  girl  who  can  smile 

With  a  cold  sore  on  her  lip. 


Why  are  birds  melancholy  in  the  morning? 
Because  their  little  bills  are  all   over  dew.

Advice   to   the   Juniors 


Juniors  and  tliosc  who  arc  interested  in  the 
affairs  of  the  High  School!!  Theoretically  it 
should  be  an  honor  to  you  Juniors  to  be  ad- 
dressed by  a  Senior.  But  the  accepted  order 
of  things  seems  to  be  overturned.  When  I  was 
told  that  I  was  to  give  the  address  to  the  Jun- 
iors. 1  was  informed  in  this  way:  "The  faculty- 
has  decided  to  confer  an  honor  upon  vou  :  you 
are  to  give  the  address  to  the  Juniors."  This 
seems  to  prove  that  instead  of  its  being  an 
honor  for  the  lower  classmen  to  be  addressed 
hy  an  upper  classman,  it  is  now  an  honor  for 
an  upiier  classman  to  address  the  lower  class- 
men. This  is  a  revolution.  Perhaps  next  year 
.\-ou.  the  Seniors  then,  will  supijort  the  Junior- 
Senior    reception. 

I  shall  not  renn'nd  you  of  any  of  your  individ- 
ual mistakes,  or  of  the  ridiculous  things  that 
some  of  you  have  done.  In  the  first  place,  it  is 
tmfair  competition,  for  you  have  four  years  of 
our  school  life  from  which  to  select  ridiculous 
things,  while  I  have  only  three  of  yours.  .\nd 
second,  it  is  tmfair  because  onl\-  those  who 
know  that  tlu\  have  nothing  worthy  to  say 
of  themselves  trx'  to  appear  great  b\-  ridiculing 
others. 

In  this  last  .\'ear,  Juniors,  you  had  three  men 
on  the  heav\weight  Basketball  team,  while  the 
Seniors  had  two.  Vou  had  three  good  men  on 
the  football  team,  and  the  Seniors  had  nine. 
Secor  on  the  track  team  ran  away  with  honors, 
while  our  Senior  president  broke  the  confer- 
ence javelin  record  by  hurling  it  thirteen  feet, 
one  inch  farther  than  the  previous  record. 
I. less  and  Wilhclmi  made  all  conference  teams. 
In  the  Glee  Club  Seniors  were  selected  as  the 
soloists.  In  the  French  Club  Seniors  held  offi- 
cial jiositions.  Including  the  last  two  vears  the 
present  Senior  girls  have  been  the  most  popu- 
lar with  the  R.  O.  T.  C,  while  in  our  Sopho- 
more year  one  of  our  \oung  ladies  was  a 
sponsor. 

I  have  tried   to  give   an   unprejudiced  account 
of     the     activities     of     the     Senior     and     Junior 


classes.     .\nd    from   the    apj.iearance   of   that    ac- 
count the   Junior   class  will   have   to   begin   their 
Senior   year    with   an    unprecedented   change    in 
attitude  toward  most  of  the  school  activities  to 
reach  the  record  set  by  the   Senior  class.  There 
IS  not  enough  social  intercourse  in  vour  class  to 
put    you    on    a    friendly    basis    with  "your    fellow 
students.        In    your    Sophomore    year    vou    did 
not  have  a  Sophomore  partv  because  vou  would 
have    had    to    have    it    in    the    afternoon,    as    all 
the    Sophomore    classes   have    had   theirs   before 
.\ou.      In   your   Junior   \ear   you   did   not    have   a 
Junior    party    because    you    were    not    energetic 
enough  to  collect  or  make,  the  monev  necessary 
for  both  a  Junior  party  and   the  Junior-Senior 
Reception,  although   yon   gave   the   Seniors   who 
attended   your   reception    a   very  delightful    eve- 
ning's    entertainment.     If    you     cannot     finance 
\our    parties,    how    can    \ou    finance    your    vear 
book."      It    is    an    unwritten    law    in    the    school 
that    each    class    better    the    record   of    the    class 
preceding    it.    and    also    add    something    to    the 
written  and  unwritten   laws  cf  the  school   which 
that    class    nun-    be    proud    of    with    the    passing 
.\ears.         So.     Juniors,     if     \ciu    live     u|)    to    the 
established  customs  of  the  school  and  make  the 
record  of  your  class   better   than  the   records  of 
the     classes    preceding,    you     can    readily     hear 
without     resentment     my     reiteration     that     you 
must  begin  your  Senior  year  with  an  unpreced- 
ented change  in  attitude  toward  school  activities. 
It    may    be    effective    for    me    to    tell    \  ou    to 
mend   \our   wa\s.    Init    my   problem   is    to   try   to 
show    you    where    \ou    can    improve,    because    it 
is   only   by   doing;    it    is   seldom   that   we   cannot 
think    back    and    see    where    we   could    have    im- 
proved    our     former     methods.     So.     Juniors,     I 
am   trying  to   show   you   how   you   may    improve 
upon    our    Senior    year    through    the    benefit    of 
our  experience,  ("  a  whisper  to  the  wise  is  suffi- 
cient,  while   a    rock    stirreth    not    the    soul    of   a 
fool.")      So  may  I  hope  that  you  shall  use   these

Oration  for  Ivy  Day 


Presentation  of  Betsy   Ross   Fla,g 

Friends   and    Schoolmates  : 
It  is  with  pleasure  I  accept  the  honor  of  be- 
ing   able,    as    president    of    the    senior    class,    to 
present  the  Betsv  Ross   flag  to  vou  on  our   l\\ 
Day. 

As  I  glance  at  this  flag  it  reminds  me  of 
that  story  of  the  Battle  of  New  Orleans — how 
in  the  midst  of  shot  and  shell,  a  young  gun  boy, 
when  he  saw  old  glory  shot  to  the  ground  by 
an  enemy's  shell,  leaped  to  the  top  of  the  forti- 
fication, and  replaced  the  shattered  staffs  with  a 
ram-rod,  and  gloriously  it  remained  where  it 
was  stationed. 

Fellow  schoolmates,  what  was  it  that  prompt- 
ed a  youth  of  our  owm  age  to  do  such  a  peril- 
ous deed?^  Was  it  a  command  from  his 
officer.'  No!  It  was  a  connnand  from  his  own 
heart,  his  own  soul,  to  protect  the  object  he 
loved  the  best.  Oh,  what  a  wonderful  appre- 
ciation of  his  country  he  must  have  had. 

It  was  on  this  occasion  nine  years  ago  that 
the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution 
presented  to  the  senior  class  this  flag,  that 
means  so  much  to  us,  that  has  been  an  in- 
spiration  to  us   to   be  just,   and  democratic  to- 


nfiuenced   these    men    in 
influences   us   in   time   of 


wards  all.  Just  e 
time  of  war,  just 
peace. 

The  senior  class  of  "2j"  like  a  "hawk"  has 
watched  this  flag.  She  has  ever  kept  it  floating 
above  her  head  as  a  motto.  It  has  spurred  us 
en  to  greater  things.  It  has  made  us  feel  the 
opportunity  it  has  found  for  us  in  the  past. 
We  honor  and  are  ever  willing  to  carry  out  the 
principles   for   which   the   flag  stands. 

When  this  glorious  old  flag  was  handtd  down 
to  us  last  year  as  Juniors,  we  were  instructed 
to  pass  it  on,  and  such  has  been  the  tradition 
of  the  Betsy  Ross  Flag.  And  in  turn  each  class 
has  been  responsible  for  its  protection.  The 
senior  class  of  "23"  now  regrets  that  its  sentinel 
period  has  passed.  .And  there  has  ever  been 
in  our  midst,  one  who  has  seen  that  w:-  have 
done  our  dut\-  courageously  and  ri;htl\-.  and 
that  man   has  been  Dr.   Smith. 

Now  as  president  of  the  Senior  class,  in 
their  name,  I  present  to  you,  Juniors,  the  Sen- 
iors of  next  year,  this  Betsy  Ross  flag  to  be 
an  inspiration,  and  means  of  guidance  to  you; 
your  duty  now  is  to  watch  and  protect  this

of 

love   and  adventur 

Frances    is    working    at   a   talile:    Lois    enters. 

Lois — What  is  the  latest  news  from  the  ex- 
cavators?  Have   they   found   an^'thing  more? 

Frances — They  found  about  all  the  records 
they'd  expected  and  a  lot  more  too.  You 
should  see  some  of  the  crazy  things  they've 
found — can't  imagine  what  they  were  used 
for.  It  certainly  must  have  been  a  treacher- 
ous and   liarbarous  age. 

L — Have  you  finished  the  report  iur  the 
archeological  society? 

F — Listen,  I'll  read  it  to  you;  see  if  it  sounds 
all  right.  (Reading)  "In  the  year  1992  the 
earth  shifted  about  three  de.grees  two  minutes, 
making  the  climate  of  the  Great  Lakes  region 
much  warmer,  so  hot  in  fact,  that  vegetation 
refused  to  grow,  and  the  population  departed 
for  a  more  favorable  climate.  Soon  after  that 
the  whole  world,  and  especially  the  continent 
of  Xorth  America,  suffered  a  period  of  violent 
storms  and  earthquakes  so  that  the  progressive 
cities  of  Joliet,  Chicago,  Milwaukee,  and  New 
Lenox  were  partially  destroyed  and  embedded. 
The  Great  Lakes  dried  up,  and  then  followed 
an  era  of  sandstorms.  In  the  year  of  2391  the 
earth  returned  to  its  former  position:  the 
country  became  less  dry:  vegetation  again  ap- 
peared upon  the  land  lieneath  which  the 
ancient  city  of  Joliet  lay  buried."  Xow,  you 
read  awhile. 

L — (continuing)  "During  this  period  of  time 
since  the  2l)th  century,  great  wars  have  l)een 
fought,  great  nations  brought  low,  small  dem- 
ocracies exalted.  Civilization  went  through  a 
care-free  irresponsible  stage,  and  consequently 
there  is  little  known  about  many  of  the  famous 
people  who  have  been  reinemliered  through  the 
ages  because  of  their  great  deeds.  Research 
workers  have  discovered  that  many  of  the  great 
people  came  from  the  Joliet  region  and  so 
have  been  excavating  the  town  and  the  Joliet 
Township  High  School,  which  was  the  best 
school  at  that  time  in  the  world." 

F — That  will  put  the  society  to  sleep.  Funny 
coincidence;  it  seems  that  in  the  20th  century, 
they  considered  some  discoveries  they'd  made 
by  excavations  very  important  also.  Their 
papers  are  full  of  the  accounts  of  finding  a  King 
Tut's  tomb.  That  wasn't  anything  though 
compared  to  finding  this  whole  school.  An- 
other odd  thing  that  the  society  will  proljably 
appreciate  is  that  the  majority  of  the  famous 
people  we  were  to  look  up  graduated  from 
this  school  in   1923 — just  2,000  years  ago. 

L — That  class  must  have  been  unusual. 
What  are  these  funny  looking  things?  Were 
they  dug.  up  this  morning?  Let's  look  at  them 
for  recreation — then  we  will  feel  more  like 
working. 

F — All  right  we  may  get  some  information 
for  our  report.  (Looking  at  book)  The  last  20 
or  3(.!  pages  are  full  of  funny,  dumb  advc-'ise- 
tuents. 

L — How  crude!  Read  some  of  them;  the\- 
sound  so  senseless. 

F— "Men,  If  You  Want  to  Look  Right  to 
Please  'Her',  Come  to  Helen  Becker's  Cloth- 
ing  Store  for   Men.

suggestions  to  strengthen  yourselves  in  the 
resolution  to  try  harder,  and  to  succeed.  When 
you  find  everything  going  wrong,  turn  that 
spaghetti  spine  into  an  iron  rod,  and  fight  for 
things  you  sincerely  think  are  right,  and  you  are 
bound  to  come  out  on  top.  Perhaps  some  of 
you  are  tired  of  studying  and  think  that  you 
can  do  better  if  you  leave  school  for  a  year,  or 
even  do  not  return  at  all.  If  an}'  of  you  think 
this  way,  in  the  name  of  all  that  is  for  your 
good,  give  yourself  a  good  talking  to  and  see 
that  you  make  up  your  mind  to  acquire  ail  the 
education  you  can.  For,  fellow  students,  when 
you  leave  school  and  work  for  a  year,  you  get 
out  of  the  studying  habit,  and  when  the  next 
year  comes  around,  you  won't  want  to  go  back, 
and  in  nine  out  of  ten  chances  ytui  do  not 
come  back.  If  you  thiuK  that  you  do  not  need 
to  attend  school,  remember  that  there  never 
was  a  man  on  earth  who  really  made  good  with- 
out a  great  store  of  knowledge,  and  there  is 
no  better  and  quicker  way  to  lay  a  firm  foun- 
dation for  that  knowledge  than  a  college  or 
at   least  a  high   school   education. 

So,  Juniors,  it  is  you  upon  whom  this  institu- 
tion will  depend  in  the  following  year.  You 
must  see  that  its  well  founded  traditions  are 
carried  out,  its  traditions  in  athletics,  its  social 
affairs,  its  "J"  and  its  year  book,  its  Senior 
play  and  its  Senior  memorial.  You  will  be  its 
finished  product,  to  he  ashamed  of  or  proud  of. 
So,  students,  let  your  standards  be  of  the  high- 
est, your  will  power  strong,  and  your  co-opera- 
tion great.  Then  you  will  be  able  to  set  newer 
and   lietter   standards   of  school   life,   so   tb.it   we

of  the  outgoing  Senior  class  may  look  back 
to  the  old  school  and  see  and  feel  that  it  is 
something  to  be  proud  of,  and  that  our  trust 
has  been  given  into  competent  and  willing 
hands.

Francis,  who  ht/roicalK-  risked  her  life  to  res- 
cue Howard  Johnson  when  his  glass  factor;' 
Idiw  lip.     Both  were  all  cut  up  over  it.' 

L — That  report  haunts  nie.  Let's  do  some 
more.     You  tell  me  wliat  you  found  out  today. 

F — We  discovered  1)y  some  old  mannscripts 
that  Marjorie  Francis,  a  student  of  this  school, 
after  much  brilliant  experiment,  disapproved 
Einstein's  Theory  of  Relativity,  and  that  Agnes 
Fricke  was  the  one  that  proved  conclusively 
that  the  people  on  Mars  were  all  left  handed 
and  pigeon-toed.  Laxton  Byrne,  who  discov- 
ered the  5th  dimension  in  1955,  also  was  a 
student  of  the  class  of  1923. 

L — Father  du.g  up  a  book  belongin.s.;  to  Mil- 
dred Pohlman  yesterday,  evidently  slie  be- 
longed here  too.  Wasn't  she  the  scientist  who 
almost  proved  that  the  world  was  oblong? 

F — Yes,  but  what  do  you  suppose  we  found 
today?  .\  funny  leather  bo.x  ))elonging  to  Har- 
riet  Osburnsen. 

L — Harriet  Osl)urnsen?  Her  name  sounds 
familiar. 

F — Don't  you  reniemV)er  studying  her  in  his- 
tory? She  was  the  great  vampire  who  ruined 
James  Creighton's  career — if  he  was  one  of  the 
world's  greatest  orators  with  Harriet;  what 
would  he  have  been   without  her? 

L — But  if  she  about  ruined  Crei.ghton's 
career,  she  made  Leighton  .Alberg  immortal. 
He  poured  out  his  broken  heart  into  exquisite 
verse  which  made  him  as  great  a  poet  in  In- 
line, as  Robert  Brummond,  the  marvelous 
nature  poet  was  in  his.  It  was  also  liecause 
of  her  that  Charles  Fish  sought  to  mend  liis 
broken  heart  by  a  wild  expedition  in  wliich  he 
discovered  the  West   Pole. 

F — "Want  to  look  at  the  l)ox?  It  is  a  funny 
looking  tiling.  What  did  they  use  it  for,  any- 
how      Looks  like  a  sachel. 

L — Say,  here's  a  program,  so  old  vou  can 
hardly  read  it,  April  10,  192S,  Pul)lic  .Speakin;.; 
Reunion. 

F — "Mary  Lewis,  ji'l'^t  of  stunt  aeroplane 
deseril)es  the  many  thrills  experienced  by  lier- 
self  and  Bernice  Lowery,  the  well-known  par- 
ashute  jumper." 

L — "Henry  Leach,  the  now  famc>us  cow- 
bo3',  win  read  a  paper  on  the  suljject,  'How 
Clever  Cows  Are  If  One  Only  Understands 
Them.'  " 

F — "Elizabeth  Sawyer,  the  famous  riding 
mistress,  will  tell  of  her  experiences  in  teach- 
ing the  vounger  generation  to  ride  Kiddv 
Kars," 

L — "John  Hcise,  wlio  is  now  enga,ged  in  sell- 
ing hairpins  in  the  men's  prison,  will  speak 
on   the   'Psychology  of  Salesmanship,'  " 

F — Come  on — let's  get  back  to  the  dear  re- 
port,    I'll  write  if  you're  tired, 

L — Where  are  the  notes? 

F — Here. 

Winfield  Creighton  went  here.  I  remember 
him.  He  was  the  world's  greatest  lover.  Re- 
member how  you  wept  over  his  biography 
because  it  was  so  romantic  and  you  thou.ght 
there  wasn't  any  more  romance  in  the   world? 

F — Still,  he  was  not  any  more  romantic  than 
Elmer  Brockman — remember  the  picture  of 
Elmer  called  the  "Ideal  Lover"? 

L — I  do.  We  discovered  that  the  great  Gen- 
eral B,  Hartshorne  who  led  the  American 
forces  to  victory  in  Turkey,  was  a  woman,  fam- 
ous  in   school  athletics  Bessie   Hartshorne,

they  also  wrote   "The  Two-Faced  Tack." 

L — Frances  Wood  was  also  a  graduate  of 
tlie  class  of  1923,  She  gave  to  the  world  the 
.great   text   liook   "The    Evolution   of   the   /\nt," 

F — They  even  found  a  copy  of  that  book  in 
the  library  together  with  seven  encyclopedias 
of  Slang  edited  by  Maliel  Riser,  owner  nf  the 
"Read  'Em  and  Weep'  Pulihsbiiig  Co.,  and 
written  by   Laura  Zenia. 

L — Fancy  writing  seven  encyclopedias; 
Laura's  brains  must  have  been  just  poking  out. 

F — That's  all  of  the  author's  we  were  re- 
sponsible for;   now  the   Musicians. 

L — The  musicians!  We  had  better  begin 
with  the  famous  ones. 

F — .\1I  right;  we  found  some  musical  instru- 
ments that  belonged  to  the  ereat  musician,  Ray 
Schaaf. 

L— Really? 

F — Yes,  \ou  know  he  was  the  ,L;reat  master 
at  playing  on  musical  combs;  and  \''c  also 
found  one  of  those  queer  things  that  used  to 
be  so  popular  a  long  time  ago — saxopliones 
you  call  tliem — and  this  one  evidently  be- 
longed to  the  note-orious  saxaphone  genius. 
Helen    Clark. 

L — Oh,  yes  and  the  other  renowned  musi- 
cian was  a  composer — .Stanford  Tune — when- 
ever I  had  to  remember  him  1  always  thought 
of  his  last  name. 

F — I'm  tired  of  writinu:-  that  pesk\-  re|>ort — 
let's  look  at  some  more  of  these  funny  books 
that   tliey'vi-   just   found. 

L — (meandering  around)  Why  what  a  funny 
one ' 

F — What   is  the  name  of  it? 

L--"Etiquettc  Book"  by  William  Talbot, 
Imagine  getting  your  manners  administered  to 
you  in  doses  from  a  book!  Here  is  another  odd 
looking   magazine,   "The   Literary   Digest," 

F — That  must  have  been  their  scliool  paper. 
Let's  look  at  it. 


'    IS    an    interesting 
the   Lovelorn,"  bv 


L — (turning  pages)  Her 
looking  column — ".\dviee  tc 
Mae  Zecker. 

"Dear  Miss  Zecker;  I  have  just  inherited  a 
title  to  an  Egyptian  estate.  Is  it  necessary  to 
marry  a  titled  woman?  If  so,  what  will  I  do 
w'ith   iiiv   .American   wife? 

CHARLES  GATO.X'S." 

F — Here  is  something  that  I  bet  is  inter- 
esting, "Reviews  of  the  Latest  Inventions." 

"Ruth  Reid  and  Ruth  Muncey,  close  friends 
because  of  their  first  name,  perfect  invention 
oi  musical  alarm  clock  that  plays  'Oh  How  I 
riate  to   Get   LiP  in   the   Morning. 

L — "Evelyn  Malcolm  puts  on  market  for  the 
rirst  time  today,  her  latest  invention — tne  col- 
lapsible door-key." 

F — They  dug'  up  the  funniest  looking  tning 
today,  it  was  all  rusty  and  skeleton  looking.  It 
had  four  wheels  and  a  small  sign  with  "F-0- 
R-D"  printed  on  the  front.  Wonder  what  it 
was  used  for? 

L — It  was  probably  used  for  some  means  of 
transportation,  they  used  such  crude  methods 
then.  Well,  how  funny!  Right  here  in  this 
list  is   a   notice   about   a   Mary   Stnkel   who   in-

F — What  a  cute  looking  girl.:  "Lucy  Booth, 
who  holds  the  world's  championship  in  autu- 
racing  says  that  half  the  credit  is  due  to  her 
interpid  mechanic.  Enid  Groggan.  and  the 
other  half  to  lier  little   racer.   'Spark   Plug.'" 

L— Here  is  .i  headline:  "Helen  Gallinger 
Pilotiug  Speeil  l!<,:it  'The  Shrimp'  wins  $10.(1011 
Award."  I'd  loved  to  have  seen  one  of  those 
funny    old    fashioned   boat   races. 

F — I  \\(  uld  rather  have  seen  one  of  thosi- 
strange  barbarious  football  games.  It  sa\s 
here:  "In  the  hard  won  victory  of  the  .All  Star

F — Traces  were  found  of  Mary  Benson,  wlm 
is  knov^'n  to  history  for  proving  that  environ- 
ment is  stronger  than  heredity.  How  did  she 
Iirove  that? 

L — By  experimenting  with  cats  and  finding 
that  both  alley  cats  and  Pirsian  cats  wdien 
lirought   up   together  are   equal   in   mentality. 

F — Did  they  prove  that  Frances  Forbes,  wdm 
was  martyred  to  the  cause  of  Men's  Rights,  at- 
tended   this    institution? 

L — Yes.  they  traced  her  by  a  funny  piece  of 
paper  called  a  misconduct  slip.  D.in't  forget 
about  their  finding  a  lot  of  books  belongingto 
Winifred  Johannseii.  the  world's  greatest  trage- 
dian. 

F— -Hazel  Bruggman,  President  of  the  U.  S.  at 
the  time  of  the  great  war  with  Turkey,  Ethel 
Sengenber.ger,  the  envoy  to  Iceland  who  was 
frozen  out,  and  Elton  Hewitt,  discoverer  of  the 
great  fields  of  mushrooius  in  South  Africa  also 
went  to  the  Joliet  High   School. 

L — Let's  start  on  the  heroes  now  for  variety. 

F — We  also  found  records  here  which  proved 
that  the  following  attended  this  school : 

Elmer  Borden,  the  hero  of  the  ages  who  rid  the 
country  of  dandelions. 

L — Like  St.  Pat  and  the  snakes. 

F — La  \'erne  De  .larld.  who  risked  his  life 
to   save   his   mother-in-law  ! 


L — Lois  Elatt,  who  most  heroically  risked  her 
own  life  to  save  John  Loeffier,  a  missionary  to 
the  Congo,  from  an  untimely  death  at  the  hands 
(if  the  cannibals  by  charmin.g  the  wild  men  with 
ragtime  her   father  used  to   sing. 

F — The  world's  best  loved  Komeo  and  Juliet 
who  interpreted  Shakespeare's  drama  as  he  must 
have  dreamed  of:  Bernard  Mdiaiin  and  Cath- 
erine   Mora'i. 

L — Speaking  of  plays,  \ou  had  better  put  Kath- 
erine  (iirot  here — she  is  considered  greater  than 
Shakespeare.  Willis  Haines  was  made  famous 
in  her  play  as  Omelet  in  "The  Hard  Boiled

he   digs  up  angle   worms   for   robins."

vertize, I  guess 

"Arnold  ^  oung  wishes  to  announce  that  he  has 
started  up  a  Men's  Beauty  Parlor — Marcels  and 
Hennas — Specialties." 

F — We  will  never  keep  our  report  u])  to  date  if 
we  don't  get  at  it  again. 

L — I  guess  you  are  right,  let's  tinisli  it  and  then 
we  can  look  at  these  things  in  peace. 

F — (dictating,  and  L.  writing)  Traces  were 
found  in  the  excavated  school  of  the  great  phil- 
osopher, Erwin  Beaudry  who  held  classes  in  the 
Union  Station  for  old  men.  He  taught  them  to 
exist  comfortably  on  four  meals  a  day. 

L — You  found  something  about  that  other  great 
philosopher.   Willard  Grayhack  too,   did  you  not? 

F — Ves,  we  found  a  note-book  of  his.  He  wrote 
books  and  books  having  as  his  central  theme : 
"The  power  of  the  body  over  the  mind."  What 
was   that  one   discovered  yesterday? 

L — Ruth  Linter,  who  perfected  the  radio  in 
1941.     That  was  a  real  help  to  the  world. 

F — William  Kern,  the  important  liotanist  who 
gave  to  the  world  a  new  wild  flower  which 
bloomed  in  the  winter  was  among  those  found 
to  have  been  educated  in  the  Joliet  High  School. 

L — The  flower  was  called  the  red  blue-bell. 

F — We  found  proof  that  the  foilowin.g  were 
also  educated  here : 

Laura  Johnson,  the  great  scientist,  who  spent 
her  life  and  money  trying  to  fuid  nut  why  the 
ocean  is   so  near  the  shore. 

L — Ella  Fosen,  the  remarkable  chemist  who 
discovered  a  chemical  which  applied  externally 
to  a  lemon  would  make  it  sweet. 

F — Viola  Lubes,  the  other  important  chemist 
who  discovered  the  remedy  for  hash  fulness  in 
a  chemical   reaction. 

L — How  about  (jertrude  Cousins,  the  marvel- 
ous electrical  engineer? 

F — They  found  report  cards  belonging  to  her, 
and  Dorothy  Flatt  who  was  the  first  female  chem-

find  out  about  some  more  famous  people. 

F — "Miss  Margaret  Hartman  who  got  the  drop 
on  everybody  when  she  went  over  Niagara  Falls

such  a  freak. 

L — "New  tennis  champion  breaks  all  records

izcd  a  hospital  for  nervous  rabbits  whose  noses 
twitch.     He  gives   them  alcohol  baths."

and  Joliet,  is  recovering  from  an  illness  caused 
by  the  shock  when  three  passengers  got  on  the 
boat  at  once,  the  fatal  passengers  were: 

"May  Burgess  who  has  been  engaged  in  the 
occupation  of  making  colored  spectacles,  and 
Bertha  Lea  and  Ruth  Brannon  who  keep  the 
Never-Flat  Garage  and  were  on  a  trip  to  Chan- 
nahon to  learn  the  Bohemian  word  for  accelerator. 

L — "Alderman  Dystrup  and  Gaylord  Ghilain 
couldn't  bear  the  unromantic  appearance  of  tele- 
graph poles  in  the  Spring:  so  they  are  busily  en- 
gaged camouflaging  them  so  they  look  like  fruit 
trees  in  lilossom." 

F— I  think  this  old  year  bo.,k  is  the  most  inter- 
esting thing.  Here  are  so?ne  more  pictures  with 
litth  notes  written  beside  them.  Yc-met  Ronipt, 
Ijet  ambition :  to  be  either  a  policeman  or  the

"A  RURAL  TRAGEDY" 
Maud  Muller  on  a  summer  day. 
Raked   the   meadow   sweet   with   hay. 
And  as  the  Judge  rode  slowly  by 
She   heaved  a  long  and   weary  sigh, 
Although  the  Judge  was  prone  to  stay, 
Hay  fever  made  him  go  away 
The  new-mown  hay  brought  on  his  wheeze 
He  was  afraid  he'd"  have  to  sneeze. 

"MARY   AND    HER    FAMOUS    LAMB" 
Mary  had  a  little  lamb 

Worth   twenty  cents  a   pound 
And    Mary   knew    the    butcher    man 

To  whom  she  took  it  round. 
Was    Mary    sorry    for   her    lamb? 

You   ask.   "Oh,   did   she   weep?" 
No,  all  that  she  regretted  was 

She   did  not  have   a   sheep. 

Joe  Barr  was  sitting  down  to  breakfast  and 
was  astonished  to  see  in  the  paper  an  announce- 
ment of  his  own  death.  He  rang  up  his  friend 
Dick  Hill  and  asked,  "Have  you  seen  the  no- 
tice  of  my  death   in   the  paper?" 

"Yes,"  replied  Dick  suspiciously.  "Where 
are   you    speaking — from?" 


Gertrude:  Papa  said  you  had  more  money 
than    brains. 

Ken:  Ha!  That's  a  good  one  on  your 
father.    I'm    l)roke. 

Gert.:     Yes,  papa   added  that   you   were. 

Carl    Braun:    You    surely   are   a   good   dancer. 

Jessie  Gillis:  Thank  you,  I'm  sorry-  I  can't 
return    the    compliment. 

Carl  :  You  could  if  you  were  as  big  a  liar 
as  I  am. 

Skeeter:  It  says  in  this  paper  that  a  man 
out    in    L'tah    married    ten    women. 

Bunny:      Didn't   they   put   him   in   jail? 

Skeeter:   No,   he  was  a  minister.

Three    Chinese   laundrymen   there   were 

Who  toiled  the  live-long  day. 
Till    one    broke    down    from    overwork 

And  went  insane  they  say. 
His   fellow   brethren    deemed   it   wise 

To  take   him  down  the   track 
And  put  him  in  a  madhouse 

Till  his  wits  he  should  get   back. 
A  fast  express  roared  by  just  then 

And  thru  the   trio  cut ; 
That  evening  on  the  tracks  were  found 

Two  washers  and  a  nut. 

A     Flapper's     prayer:     "Dear     Lord.     I     ask 
nothing    for    myself,    only    give    mother    a    son- 


Have   you   ever 

Been    some    place 

And  caught  the  glance 

Of  the  prettiest  girl 

There — and  have  her 

Smile — a  wonderful  smile — 

And  walk  toward  you 

With    both    hands    outstretched 

And  the  loveliest  light   in 

Her   eyes — 

.And  go  right  past  you  and 

Kiss    the    boy — right    behind    you? 
A  golf  ball  sailing  thru  the  air 
Passed   by   a   guy    a   humming 
And  when   somebody  hollered  "Fore" 
He  thought  three  more  were  coming.

A    hundred   years   ago   today, 

A  wilderness  was   here. 

A  man  with  powder  in  his  gui 

Went  forth   to   hunt  a  deer. 

But    now    the    times    have    chai 

.\long   a   different   plan  ; 

A  dear  with  iiouder  on  her   nc 

Goes   fortli   to   hunt   a   man. 


N'ow  I  lay  me   down  to  sleep. 

In   ni\-   little   hed 
[l    I   should   die   liefore   I  wake. 

How    will    I    know-    I'm    dead: 


'Your  teeth   are    like   the   stars" 

The    maidens    eyes    grew    bright 

"Your  teeth  are  like  the  stars,  dear 

For  they  all  come   out  at  night." 

Er.  Beaudrv  (in  lunchroom)  "How's  the  chicken 

toda\-?" 
A\'aitress  :    "Fine,    how's   yourself'-" 


She— "What    makes    the   leaves    turn    red   in   the 

tall :- " 

He — "The\-    are    blushing    to    think    how    green 
they   have   been   all  summer." — (Burr) 


[f  S-I-O-U-X  spells  "soo" 

And   E-Y-E  spells   'T' 

And  S-I-G-H-E-D   spells  "side' 
I  guess  what  I  better  do 
Is    coimnit    Siciux-eye-sighed.
