Each year Kewanee High has
been constantly changing and
progressing/ This has certainly
been true this year, as there have
been new classes added to the curriculum
and many achievements
have been attained in the line of
extra-curricular activities.
There were severeal new classes
offered to students this year General
Building Trades course, Public
Speaking II, and German II
were offered for the first time.
The general building class, meeting
three hours daily, offered advanced
study in manual training.
Public Speaking II and German II
both offered advanced training for
students in their respective lines
of study.
Some changes were also made
in the teaching staff, as the Misses
Gamble and Lippens gave up
teaching for married life, Miss
Lila Miller wished to further her
study and was giben a leave of
absence for one year, and Mr.
Lantz took a position in the music
department of the Galesburg High

place of Miss Gamble; Miss Millers
place in the commencial department
has been filled by Mr.
Romack and Miss Mihalilt and
Mr. Brown have taken the posttions
of Miss Lippens and Mr.
Lantz respectively.
The building of a 22 x 12 partable
stage in room 203 has become
an asset to the speech department.
Talking pictures were shown to
the students for the first time this
year. Improvements were also
made in the dressing rooms
throughout the building. Although
our football team did not go
through an undefeated season as
they did last year, we had plucky
team which, in spite of its size and
inexperience, turned in a good
record.
Our debate team too, although
winning no cups or banners, had a
very successful season.

DEDICATE - BOOK TO KAISER
DEPARTMENTAL
HEAD HONORED
KEWANEE HIGH
SHOWS PROGRESS
May 22—Special—The Kewanite
staff today honored Mr. Alvin R.
Kaiser by dedicating the 1936 book
to him.
Mr. Kaiser has been at Kewanee
High School for seven years. He
came to Kewanee to instruct in
the English department. Soon
after he came he was made head
of this division.
He has directed fourteen class
plays since he has been here, besides
directing on an average of
two plays per year outside of
school. Mr. Kaiser has said that
he enjoyed the play, "The Enemy,"
which was a serious type play end
directed by him in 1932, more than
all others.
English IV and public speaking
are the courses taught by Mr.
Kaiser and anyone who has been
in any of his classes will know
that he is an all-around good sport
as well as a good instructor. His
students will tell you that they
enjoy his classes, especially his
poems and humor.
This year Mr. Kaiser has directed
the junior class play, the senior
class play and has helped with the
dramatic parts in the orpheum, as
well as organizing plays in his
public speaking classes.
The Kewanite staff feel he is one
of their "guiding stars" for his
efforts in directing their class productions
in both the junior and
senior years have made this book
possible.
An Interview
While interviewing Mr. Kaiser
to find out some facts about his
life, he gave us the following information

HISTORY OF
THE CANE
The high school cane has a long
history, having been introduced
into the high school traditions in
the year 1902. In that year, Mrs.
Kemp, at that time a faculty member,
decided that there should be
a symbol handed each year from
the graduating class to the juniors.
This carried the idea of a challenge
to the juniors to equal and
excel the preceding
class in
school activities,
scholastically
and
otherwise.
Thus the
class of 1902
put their colors
o n this
cane and with
with much pomp and ceremony
handed it to the class of 1903, represented
by Roy Hunt. This custom
has been continued each year.
This year when the class of 1936
handed the cane to the class of
1937 on class night there were the
colors of thirty-five classes on it.
Originally class night, the occasion
for the presentation of the
cane, was a solemn, serious affair.
The significance of the occasion
gradually changed until in the late
1920's the friendly challenge became
more nearly a dare; the serious
atmosphere gave way to a
scene of action. To explain the situation
at that time it might be
well to picture what happened on
class night in May, 1929, the year
the informality of the evening was
at its height.
On the west side of the study
hall are the seniors, on the east
side the juniors, also en masse.
The senior cane speaker, Robert
"Tuck" Hayward, takes the floor.
The visitors in the rear of the
room become quiet as he begins
to speak; but does he compliment
the juniors and offer the cane as
a friendly challenge? Instead he
proceeds to immediately slander
the juniors with a fiery oration
which is soon drowned out by the
rustling of newspapers read by the
juniors apparently bored by the
articulations and gesticulations of
"Tuck". Then conies the rejoinder
by Richard "Horses" Kin

THE BOARD CLOSES SCHOOL
BRUNER SUPT.
OF SCHOOLS
This year Mr. Charles Bruner
is completing his fifteenth year as
Superintendent of Kewanee Public
Schools. We are indeed fortunate
in having for our school superintendent
a man who is as competent
and experienced with school
work as is Mr. Bruner.
Mr. Bruner attended a three
year high school at Burket, Indiana.
He entered Indiana University
in April, 1907, where he finished
his high school requirements
and four years of college work.
In 1910, he graduated with a
major in science. Three years
later, in 1913, he received his M.
A. degree from Indiana University
in School Administration. Our
superintendent later worked
toward a Ph. D. degree, which he
completed after two summers at
Columbia University, in New York,
and one summer term in Chicago
University.
His twenty-eight years of experience
in school work starts back
in 1904 as a one room country
school teacher in Indiana. He
then taught science in high school
for two years after college graduation.
Then came eight years of
experience as high school principal
of the Philipsburg County
High School at Philipsburg, Montana.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
CHAS. BRUNER
Miss Wesebaum
The class of 1936 wishes to take
this opportunity to thank Miss
Wesebaum for the many things
that she has done for us and
helped us to do in our four years
here in high school.
Miss Wesebaum, who is secretary
to the Board of Education,
furnishes the link between the
school board and the student body.
She has held this position for ten
years, which accounts for her
ability to fill it so capably.
A. Faull, F. Steele, V. Curtis, E. Lindbeck,
G. Wilmarth, F. Hallin, M. Lucas.
SCHOOL CLOSED
DUE TO COLD
Yes, it was a cold, cold winter.
School was closed for six days,
which was the first time in the
history of the school that it had
been closed so many days for elemental
reasons.
School was dismissed for two
three-day periods. It was closed
first on February 10, when the
temperature dropped to —26°.
Even though the weather was still
playing tricks, classes were resumed.
On February 19 the coal
shortage became so serious that
school was again closed in order
to save the coal for family use.
Although school was closed for one
and one-half days three years ago,
this was the first time it had ever
been closed because of a coal
shortage.
SCHOOL BOARD
We should feel very grateful to
the Board of Education for the
high standing that our school has
reached under its supervision and
guidance. Our school board is
composed of seven capable and
experienced members who are
striving to raise as well as maintain
the standards of the school.
To these men, friendly to teachers
and students alike, we wish to
express our deepest appreciation
and gratitude.
Mr. Forrest Hallin, the president
of the board, has served fourteen
years in this office. He also was a
board member for the three years
previous to this time. This is indeed
a record, for Mr. Hallin has
served longer in this responsible
position than any other man. In
the business world he is a tailor.
Mr. George Wilmarth, who has
served for six years on the board,
is employed at the Boss office.
Mr. Miles Lucas has also served
six years and is superintendent of
the gas plant of the Kewanee
Public Service Company.
Both Mr. Albert Faull and Mr.
Ernest Lindbeck have been members
for five years. Mr. Faull is
superintendent of Baker Park and
Mr. Lindbeck operates a music
and school supply store.
The newest members of the
board are Mr. F. H. Steele and Mr.
Vernon Curtis, who are both completing
their first year.

Paee 2 THE KEWANITE Section II
INTRODUCING THE KEWANEE
HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY
Mr. Robinson, principal and
teacher of mathematics of Kewanee
High, is advisor of one of the
most noted school organizations,
the Hi-Y. Mr. Robinson, through
the co-operation of the students
and faculty, has kept the school
spirit at the top. For his training
he includes a B. S. and a M. A.
degree, secured at Beloit College
and University of Minnesota respectively.
He has taken postgraduate
work at the State Teachers'
College and at University of
Wisconsin.
All paths in K. H. S. lead to the
office—and Genevieve Saygh. During
her four years here she has
been practically indispensable to
the success of any school undertaking—whether
it be acting as
postmistress for the Tri-Y or assisting
our principal in his mindreading
stunts. However, these
things are merely sidelines with
Genevieve—her real duties lie elsewhere,
in taking care of grades,
checking attendance records, and
handling office correspondence.
She probably has closer contact
with the student body than any
other faculty member and has
shown unquestionable ability in
keeping school life running quite
smoothly.
The English department is under
the direction of Mr. Kaiser,
who teaches both English and
public speaking. He directs the
class plays, as' well as the dramatic
parts for other school productions.
He is a graduate of
North Central College with B. A.
degree. At present he is doing
graduate work at the State University
of Iowa.
Miss Miller was again chosen
advisor of the 1936 Kewanite. She
has obtained a B. A. degree at the
State University of Iowa and is
teaching in the English department
of the high school. She has
handled both her teaching and
extra-curricular work quite capably.
Her splendid co-operation
with the Kewanite staff has helped
to make the book a success.
Miss Knapp was chosen as advisor
of the class of 1939. She is
one of the instructors in the English
department. She is a graduate
of Iowa Wesleyan College where
she obtained a B. A. degree.
Miss Ewan, teaching in the English
and science departments, is
the advisor of the Dramatic club.
She has several clever ideas which
she presents to the club. When
these are carried out they prove
to be quite valuable. Miss Ewan
has obtained a B. A. degree at
Depauw University and a M. S. at
Iowa State College.
Miss Horler, who has taught in
western Iowa for the past four
years, came to Kewanee to teach
this year. She is instructing in
the English department and has
established a good standing for
herself among students and faculty.
She has a B. A. degree from
the University of Iowa, having
also attended the University of
Colorado and Carthage College.
The class of 1936 chose Miss
McCarthy as their last class advisor.
Because of her past experience
in this work she has been a
very efficient guide to the group.
An M. A. degree from Columbia
University and a B. A. degree
from Mount Holyoke College are
credited to her. She teaches in the
English and mathematics departments.
Miss Nobiling, who was the
junior class advisor of the class
of 1936, was again chosen junior
class advisor. The success of the
junior class of 1935 placed her in
the minds of all classes for an
advisor. She is an instructor in
French, having received a B. A.
degree at Vanderbilt University.
She also did some work at the
University of Wisconsin last summei
1 .
The Latin students of the school
are under the instruction of Miss
Harrod. She has been teaching
this subject for several years and
her efforts have encouraged a
number of students to pursue
further classical study. Her classes
are interesting to the students.
She is a graduate of Knox College.
The new subject of German, introduced
into the school in 1934,
has very successfully been carried
out these last two years under
Miss Beadle's supervision. She is
also an active teacher in the history
department, teaching both
ancient and modern history. She
obtained her schooling from the
University of Chicago.
Mr. Graham has supervised the
school paper again this year. This
is his fourth year at Kewanee High
and he has established for himself
a fine teaching and social standard.
He teaches economics end
speech. He has shown dramatic
ability in plays in which he has
participated. He is credited with a
B. A. degree from University of
Illinois and graduate study at the
same university.
Mr. Brown, supervisor of music
in the Kewanee public schools, has
only been with us a year. He is a
graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University
with a B. M. E. degree. He
is now working for his master's
degree, which he hopes to obtain
some time next fall. Mr. Brown
is a good friend of the students
and faculty and we wish him BUCcess
in the future.
Miss Gibson, the art teacher of
Kewanee High, heads the Art club.
This club has rapidly increased its
membership since she has taken it
into her hands. The splendid work
in her classes can be observed in
the art case on the second floor of
the building. She has also directed
the art work for the Kewanite, has
attended school at the Chicago
Academy of Fine Arts, Art Institute
of Chicago and Bradley Polytechnical
Institute from where she
has received a B. S. degree.
Comparatively few students visit
Miss Wesebaum's inner sanctum;
if they did, they might be surprised
at the amount of work done
there. Miss Wesebaum's duties
bring her in contact with the affairs
of all the schools in the oity.
She does the accounting for the
school, keeps the records for the
Board of Education, handles the
faculty's paychecks and takes :are
of Mr. Bruner's business correspondence.
Students find her especially
helpful in telling them where
to find step-ladders, electric light
plugs and other odds and ends that
they need. Her work, although
carried on quietly and unobtrusively,
is very valuable.
Miss Letha Larson has been the
assistant in Mr. Bruner's office
for the past two years. She is the
young lady responsible for those
contracts and "printed" tests for
she takes care of the mimeograph
work. It is her task also to work
in the stock room, arranging supplies
for all the schools in town.
As a whole her tasks would number
many if they were to be listed.
We all like Miss Larson's cheery
smile and appreciate her many
kindnesses to us.

of years of experience to her
credit. She attended Illinois State
Normal University where she obtained
a B. E. degree. She teaches
algebra and junior business training.
She is very well liked by all
who know her.
The colorful showing of Kewanee
High's athletics is due to the
work of Mr. Anderson. He has
secured a high place for Kewanee
in the field of athletics because of
his untiring efforts along every
line. Mr. Anderson is also a teacher
in the commercial and physical
education departments. He has received
a B. A. degree at Illinois
Wesleyan and has taken graduate
study at the University of Wisconsin.
Mr. Hyink, instructing in the
physical education department,
aids Mr. Anderson with the coaching

work in this field. He is a graduate
of the University of Illinois
with a B. S. degree to his credit.
Miss Mihalik, starting her first
year at Kewanee, has shown progress
in the work of the physical
education department. She has a
very likeable personality which
secures for her the respect and
co-operation of every girl in the
department. She has obtained a
B. E. degree from the Illinois
State Normal University. We hope
Miss Mihalik will continue her
good work at Kewanee High
School.
Heading the commercial department
is Mr. Stronks. He includes
in his schedule of classes bookkeeping,

WILSON NOW HEADS THE SENIOR CLASS
HISTORY OF
SENIOR CLASS
The class of "36", who for the
past four years have been an active
group of the Kewanee High
School, are to graduate May 22 of
this year. This group entered high
school in the fall of 1932 with a
membership of 289 students.
During their freshman year they
were lead by president, Phil Hayward;
vice-president, Mary Palmer;
secretary, Irene Bradley;
treasurer, Genevieve Atkinson;
and advisor, Miss Ruth Knapp.
Records show during their freshman
year they were active in
school work and extra-curricular
activities.
The sophomore year found Harold
Haley, president; Keith Vinson,
vice-president; Mary Palmer,
secretary; Pauline Van Raemdonk,
treasurer; and Miss Harriet Mc-
Carthy, advisor. This year proved
most exciting for the class in that
they again revived the custom of
class parties, which had been suspended
some years before. They
also supervised the first successful
school carnival ever produced
in the high school.
With the approach of the junior
year attention was centered on
financing a prom. Under the leadership
of Pauline Van Raemdonk,
president; Jack Ladd, vice-president;
Rita Owens, secretary;
Lucia Thorne, treasurer; and Miss
Reedene Nobiling as advisor they
undertook various money-making
projects, chief of which were the
junior carnival and the class play,
"The Importance of Being Earnest."
Candy selling and assembly
programs also added their bit to
the treasury and made possible
the 1935 prom.
This past year with Franklin
Wilson as president; Mary Balses,
vice-president; Raymon Poison,
secretary; Neena Ptasnik, treasurer;
and Miss Harriet McCarthy,
advisor, the seniors have worked
hard to make their final year a
success. Besides the Orpheum and
the class play, "Applesauce," the
class has sponsored a dance, sold
candy and had a paper campaign
for the purpose of raising funds
for the Kewanite.
The class of '36 has done its
share to further the activities of
the school. Each athletic season
has seen many of its members reporting
for practice.

SENIOR CLASS
OFFICERS
The senior class selected as
their leaders this year, president,
Franklin Wilson; vice president,
Mary Balses; secretary, Raymond
Poison; treasurer, Neena Ptasnik;
and class advisor, Miss McCarthy.
Franklin, better known as
"Frankie," lived up to all expectations,
leading the class with flying
colors through one of its most
strenuous years. His cheerfulness,
sense of responsibility, enthusiasm
and spirit inspired the seniors to
give splendid co-operation to him.
Mary Balses, ever smiling, happy
and ready to help where needed,
aided greatly in the class undertakings
during the year.
"Ray" Poison acted well in the
role of secretary, giving ideas and
lending a hand wherever he was
in demand.
Then last, but not least, came
Neena Ptasnik, whose careful
budgeting of class finances made
possible the publication of the
Kewanite.
Miss McCarthy, also advisor of
the class during the sophomore
year, was again chosen to advise
the class during the senior year.
Her quiet and gentle disposition
proved a valuable asset to the
class.

News on the coming assembly
programs is printed to inform the
students that on the day of the
program they cannot give the excuse
of "the assembly took so long
that it cut off my study hour".
Then in order to fill up space
we expect to find small humorous
articles such as "Silly-Gisms",
"Lost, Strayed or Stolen" and
"Lovely Letters". Lovely letters
are the notes which someone gets
hold of and hands it in to the 'K"
staff. These freshmen do quite a
bit of note writing and the seniors
enjoy reading them, remembering
'way back when—when they wsre
freshmen.
The "K" always will have a full
page of humor which is called
"The Apple-Sauce Chronicle". Cartoons
are drawn to illustrate a
large amount of this humor.

JUNIORS HONOR THE SENIORS AT PROM
HISTORY OF
JUNIOR CLASS
CLASS OF '37
VERY ACTIVE
The class began their high
school career by being different.
Under the leadership of the first
girl president, Crystal Van Hefte,
they went through the first year
making splendid progress. Other
officers were vice-president, Robert
Wiley; secretary, Anna Mae
Boning; treasurer, Arlene Hill,
and advisor, Miss Knapp.
Then came the sophomore year,
usually noted for its deadness.
But not so with the class of "37";
under the capable and able leaders,
Don Bystry as president; Charles
Whiff en, vice-president; Crystal
Van Hefte, secretary; John Bond,
treasurer, and Miss Gamble, advisor,
the class made this year one
of interest and liveliness. It was
at this time they capped the year
with their splendid St. Patrick's
day party.
This year saw the juniors in
their class play, "It Never Rains",
displaying their dramatic talent
and at the same time earning
money to put on the prom. We
also saw this active class in their
endeavor to earn money by sponsoring
an amateur program. Original?
Yes, and good. This year's
activities were under the direction
of president, Don Bystry; vicepresident,
Vance Kennard; secretary,
Crystal Van Hefte; treasurer,
Mike Milich, and advisor,
Miss Nobiling.
In their three years of work the
present junior class both scholastically
and in extra-curricular activities
has proven itself an able
and capable group.
HONOR ROLL
The juniors are proving t/> be a
very intelligent class. During the
past five six-weeks periods they
have had 349 names on the honor
roll with a total of 741 honors.
Leaders of the class scholastically
are John Bond, Elizabeth
Cobb, Robert Deisher, Marian
Ewan, Helen Hagerty, Phyllis
Johnson, Vance Kennard, Joan
Kirley, Clyta Lovejoy, Laila Pyper,
Anton Ruzas, Mary Shinkevich,
Evelyn Shurnis, Lloyd Titterington,
Theodore Turnbull, Darlene
VandeVoorde, Kathryn Webb,
and Catherine Zang. These people
have been in the four honor group
several times during the past year.

Milich
JUNIOR OFFICERS
Don Bystry, the junior class
president, has become almost a
tradition of Kewanee High. Don
has lead the class of '37 now
for two years and during this time
has shown his ability as a leader.
Always ready to take part in anything
for the betterment of his
class, he has done his part well.
Then comes Vance Kennard, the
vice-president, and a good one.
Vance is known as the boy of personality
and is liked by everyone.
The secretary, Crystal Van
Hefte, has been on the officers'
staff all three years, which points
out not only her fine personality
but also her ability as a leader.
Next is Mike Milich, treasurer,
the boy with the wonderful voice.
Friendly, likeable and always
ready to co-operate with others,
Mike has won the friendship and
trust of all.
Nor must we forget Miss Nobiling,
whose splendid work as a
junior class advisor won her the
title for two consecutive years.
Friendly to all, Miss Nobiling has
made a capable class advisor.
Did you know that 278 light
bulbs are used to light the stage
in the auditorium of the high
school?

SOPHOMORE CLASS PROVES VERY ACTIVE
SOPHOMORE
CLASS HISTORY
The class of '38 was welcomed
into Kewanee High School in the
usual way by a reception at which
they were the guests of the
seniors.
In their first year they started
out with a good outlook for the
future. For their first activity
they were given the honor of arranging
and burning the bonfire
at our homecoming.
They played an active part in
athletics. In football, White, Metz,
Green, Kaine, Krumtinger, Miskinis,
and Gilfillan received numerals.
Willie O'Connor played on
the first team.
In basketball, Johnson, Kohler,
Krumtinger, White, Kaine, Metz,
and Gilfillan received numerals.
They also took an active part in
track work, Raymond Anderson
being one of our leading track
men.
These students of '38 also participated
in the more literary type
of activities. Robert Lindholm and
Everett Lester were in the tryouts
for the debate squad. In oratory
Frank Goosens and Everett Lester
were active.
In their sophomore year this
class carried on successfully in
extra-curricular activities. In oratory
Robert Bowman took an outstanding
part, winning second
place in the local contest at Kewanee
High. He also was made a
member of the debate squad.

LEADERS SHOW
GREAT ABILITY
In this second year the group
had enough boys participating in
basketball to have a team of their
own. They played in a tournament
and had many outside games.
Philip Gilfillan of the sophomore
class made the varsity squad. The
sophomores took an active part in
the homecoming parade by entering
a float made by the students.
They were planning a party when
this article went to press, so they
will probably have it in May.
The officers of this second year
of activities were Robert Armstrong,
who was always good
natured, witty, and well liked by
his fellow students; Philip Gilfillan,
the vice-president, an athletically
inclined student who was
always ready to help Robert when
needed; Jack Murray, who capably
carried on his work as secretary;
and Billy Welch as treasurer. Billy
has been a manager for athletics
during the past year.
We wish the class of '38 continued
success and hope that they
will carry on their work in a very
eventful way.
The total weight on the auditorium
floor when the entire student
body is present is 55 tons, or
110,000 pounds. This weight is
equivalent to the weight of more
than 29 Packard sedans.

KNAPP CHOSEN
CLASS ADVISOR
After the students became accustomed
to high school life they
held a meeting to elect their class
officers. They chose Billy Whetstone
for their president. Billy has
conducted the meetings very well
and we find that he is a jolly,
goodnatured young boy. Donald
Blunk was elected vice-president.
We find him to be a small, peppy
fellow. Kathleen Linsey was secretary.
She is ar athletic type of
person, getting along nicely with
all her fellow students; and Beverly
Eckwall, a pretty smiling
miss, was elected treasurer. The
freshman class has just started its
work and we know that they will
continue in a very successful way.
The trophy case on first floor
contains 35 trophies.

FROSH IN
ACTIVITIES
The freshmen began their school
career in great style by being
given the accustomed duty of
building a large bonfire on the
school grounds for the homecoming
pep meeting.
In athletics the boys took much
interest and an active part. Among
the class members were Gene Nelson,
Roy Lyons, and Gaylord
Thompson receiving numerals for
football. Those receiving numerals
for basketball were Roy Lyons,
Ralph Nelson, Jack Schlindwein,
Willard Stronks, Tom Terry, and
Gavlord Thompson.
There are many of the freshmen
looking forward to the track season
and we hope that they keep
up the good work for these students
will be our future Kewanee
{igh School stars. Good luck to
i class of '39.

SOCIETY

Section III THE KEWANITE Pagel
KEWANITE STAFF OFFERS NOVEL ANNUAL
STAFF ELECTED
BY THE CLASS
In the spring of 1935 five members
of the faculty and five members
of the student body got together
and picked the candidates
eligible for the Kewanite staff of
1936. The names of these students
were put down in ballot
form and presented before the
class. From this ballot the class
voted for the members capable of
handling the Kewanite work.
On coming back to school from
the summer vacation the staff began
its work. The meetings were
held quite faithfully every Monday
evening. Much of their work
was accomplished at these meetings.
The first thing the staff did was
to select their publisher. Representatives
of the different publishing
companies came and presented
many ideas and details, such as
prices, themes, colors, and other
selling points. From these the
staff picked their publisher.
The printer, the theme, and the
colors were also chosen by the
staff. The theme, as you have
noticed, is the newspaper idea. The
printing was done "at home" by
The Star-Courier.
It was also up to the staff to find
ways of making money, for the
money from circulation and sponsorship
was not enough to cover the
cost of the book. The staff has
sponsored candy sales at football
and basketball games, as well as
during the noon hour. Two dances
were put on, the Homecoming
dance and a benefit dance. The
staff also had a paper campaign.

LONG HOURS
SPENT AT WORK
The Kewanite staff has tried to
make the 1936 year book an improvement
over those of previous
years.
The work began in the early fall
with circulation. Here was a problem—to
get the students to buy
the book. A campaign was figured
out and the payments were
made in three installments. This
proved to be a great success for
it enabled more of the students to
obtain the book. This drive was
continued for three weeks.
After the circulation was completed
the staff started their work
on sponsorship.
The staff was sent into the
downtown district to get the business
men to sponsor the year book.
Since advertising is not permitted
by the Chamber of Commerce, the
names of the business men or
their firms, as sponsors, can be
printed on a page at the back of
the book. Sponsorships took some
time to secure since the staff had
to work after school hours.
Meanwhile the editors were beginning
to get started on their
write-ups. Most of the activities
could not be written before spring,
for we aim to include all the activities
possible. The write-ups were
required to be completed by a certain
date, this year being April 15.
The photography was worked on
throughout the entire year, taking
pictures of the classes, organizations,
and sports. It was also up
to the staff to choose the photographer.
The art work was done by two
of the best art students of the
senior class.

STUDENT GOV'T
IS SUCCESSFUL
FIRST SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council is the governing
body of Kewanee High
School. In this group are the people
selected by each class to represent
them in deciding student
problems of all kinds. There are
no specific meeting days for the
council, instead they are subject
to call.
The students should feel honored
in having the opportunity to hold
a membership in this group. Their
election signifies a measure of
trust that their fellow students
place in them in representing the
student body in school government
matters.
The Student Council has accomplished
a number of things during
the course of the past year. They
took care of the football and basketball
season tickets. Both of
these ticket sales were a success
as the football and basketball
games were attended by a good
part of the student body as well
as the "uptown" fans.
It is their custom to sponsor the
football and basketball banquets.
Both were run off with great success.
Besides the many clever pep
meetings presented at our high
school by this group, they also had
a traveling assembly. This was in
the form of a pep meeting for the
regional tournament held in Kewanee.

KENNARD HEAD
OF COUNCIL
Sept. 23 — Today the student

Those elected for the first term
are:
President
Vice president

HONOR TEAM
AT BANQUET
For a hard-fighting and plucky
football team the Student Council
sponsored a banquet at Irving
School on December 10. The football
banquet, which was started by
Mr. Koch about eight years ago,
was at first attended by the team
members and the faculty. Later
the Rotary undertook to give the
athletes a dinner. As you know,
Mr. Robinson revived the old custom,
enlarging the number of
those attending to include the entire
city. This year there were
about three hundred people in attendance,
a crowd made up of students,
faculty, townspeople, and
even some out-of-town guests.
The banquet was served by the
ladies of the St. Peter's church.
After the dinner the group sang
songs under the leadership of Joe
Saunders with Marjorie Wolters
at the piano. Vance Kennard,
president of the Student Council,
very capably acted as chairman,
presenting a program consisting of
a tap dance by Dorothy Durham
Quanstrom and musical numbers
by John Marshall Heaps and Donald
Szabo.
The guest speaker of the evening
was Bert Ingwerson, head
line coach from Northwestern,
who spoke on football and sportsmanship.
He also brought a movie
of the Northwestern-Illinois game
with him.
Other speakers of the evening
were Coach Anderson, Coach Landis,
Coach Hyink, and Russell
Wetzel.

Second Semester
Council Is Chosen
The second semester Student
Council was elected shortly after
the semester began. The members
of this group were prepared to
take up the work where the first
semester members left off. They
began immediately upon the ticket
sale for the basketball tournament.
They also took care of the regional
tournament sponsored by Kewanee.
The main work of this organization
was to put on a basketball
banquet at the end of the season.
This was usually taken care of by
the G. A. A. girls in the past years,
but since that organization no
longer exists, the Student Council
has taken up that work.
This organization sent Coach
Ross Anderson to the state tournament
for three days. This was the
first year that this was done and
we hope it will continue and become
quite the accustomed thing.
In the years before the coach has
always been paying his own expenses
in order to see the state
tournaments. We feel that it is
worth while for the Student Council
to take up this duty.
We tried to think of something
funny to put on this page but the
funniest thing we could think of
was that Bob Humphrey was
elected president.—Phil Hayward,
V. P.
Bond Re-elected
Treas. 2nd Semester
Each semester the members
elect new officers. Those selected
for the second semester were Robert
Humphrey as president, Rita
Owens, secretary, and John Bond,
treasurer.
Robert has been in Kewanee
High School for the past two
years, coming here from Champaign,
Illinois. He has entered into
a great many of the activities,
not being in the least backward or
shy. He was selected as editor of
the Kewanite staff; he is on the
debate squad; he has taken part
in dramatics and is a member of
the Hi-Y. He carried the office of
president of the Student Council
and we were glad to have him
for that office.
Philip Hayward, the tall blonde
boy, better known as "Peeley",
carried the position of vice-president
very well—he didn't have to
do anything since Robert was always
there. But all in all "Peeley"
was very proud of his office. Upon
questioning him about his position
he remarked, "Yes, I am the vicepresident;
want to shake my
hand", so we all shook his hand.
"Peeley" took an active part in debate,
being the only one on the
team who had had two years of
debating experience.
Rita Owens retained the job of
secretary for two semesters. She
April 6—On Saturday the Student
Council honored the basketball
team with a banquet. This
was the third year that the school
has taken this opportunity to entertain
the team.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church served a dinner of mashed
potatoes, baked ham, escalloped
corn, pickles, olives, coffee, bread,
jelly, ice cream, and cake.
Robert Humphrey, president of
the Student Council, acted as master
of ceremonies. Coach Anderson
introduced the players and
presented them with their letters.
Each team member gave a short
speech, complimenting the coach,
and expressing his regret at leaving
the team. Coach Stevens presented
numerals to the Riveters,
while the Reserves received their
awards from Mr. Landis.
Following the talks a program,
was presented. Wilbur Binno,
Clarence Bumphrey, and James
Elliott played some musical numbers.
Joan Cavell danced and sang
two numbers. The Midget Trio,
consisting of Joan Lamb, Mary
Ruth Baughman, and Jeannette
Livek, presented a program of
songs. Mr. Robinson, with his
tricks of magic, made quite a hit
on the program. Miss Saigh assisted
him with his mental telepathy
stunt.
Everett Ford and his orchestra
provided music for the dance
which followed the program. During
the evening Maurine Fields
sang two numbers.
has done her work very well and
she was well known and well liked
by her fellow classmates. Rita is
an excellent student and an active
one, being a member of the Tri-Y
and debate clubs.
John Bond has also been the
treasurer of the Student Council
for two terms. Mr. Robinson and
John had some sort of a method
to keep the treasury in fine shape
and they worked it very well for
the Student Council did not end up
in the "red".
Mr. Robinson has very ably directed
the members of the Student
Council. They appreciate his work
for they realize they could not do
much without him.

Page 4 THE KEWANITE Section III
UNUSUAL "K"
IS OFFERED
September 17—The new "K" is
out. Again it is to be sent away
to be published. One will always
find something interesting in this
publication, such as the "hall of
fame", "around school", resumes
of extra-curricular activities, and
sports and jokes.
The "hall of fame" will be
awarded in each issue to a different
student whom the staff considers
the most active in school
activities.
The column "Around the
school" or "Gossip" will be the
most exciting. Under this heading,
as you might presume, will
come all the scandal, gossip and
key-hole stuff that goes on in K.
H. S. Watch out, freshmen, for
the suspicious looking student who
goes around looking through keyholes.
For those who love sports there
will always be articles about football
and basketball, giving play
by play and the scores of the
games. This pertains to the girls'
sports as well as the boys'. These
are written up in an interesting
style which everyone will like.
"Roses are red, Violets are
blue." Ah! poetry. One will always
find some sad, sweet, strictly
original poetry written by our very
own Kewanee High School students.
We are always sure to find news
about the Nature club, Debate club,
Hi-Y, and Tri-Y, and the Dramatic
club. The "K" keeps us well informed
on all the latest activities
of these organizations.
Here is something new—"Our
Pantry Shelf". Those boys who intend
to be hermits might just as
well begin early and read these
articles. Such recipes as "How to
make veal loaf", "Boston cream
pie", "baked stuffed cucumbers",
and others will be an asset to
any one's vocabulary.

"K" BOARD
OF EDITORS
Sept. 5—
The paper of K. H. S. published
by the students has taken the
name "K" for this year due to the
overusage of the term "Boilermaker"
in Kewanee.
The staff is selected by trial interviews
and write-ups. All students
are eligible to compete for
the different positions.
The board of editors selected are
Virginia Hunt, Rosemary Zeglis,
and Joyce Hunt. The rest of the
staff is:
Sports Editor—Robert Bowman.
Business Manager—Gust Lundberg.
Advertising Manager -- Con
Kelly.
Circulation — Betty Cobb, Darlene
Vande Voorde, Hazel Gerard.
Reporters—Pauline Van Raemdonk,
Betty Lou Kennedy, Arlene
Hill, Frances Majeske, Mary Currier,
Eileen Shields, Marvin Hepner,
Con Kelly.
Typists—Eileen Johnson, Dorothy
Ingle, Mildred Nelson.
Advisor—Leo Graham.
Last but not least we will find
the classroom snapshots giving all
the latest bits on the progress
that the students are making in
their classes. Lastly, we mustn't
forget to mention the prophecies
for the seniors, juniors, sophomores,
and even the freshmen.
Purpose of the "K"
The 1935-36 "K" staff has
worked hard to make its paper
an improvement over those of previous
years. We now have the opportunity
to congratulate them.
The "K" 's purposes were the
same as were those of the Boilermaker.
It aimed to give recognition
to worth while enterprises
about school, encouraging good
citizenship, as well as successful
school work. The "K" gave experience
to students in reporting
events and also served as a means
of literary expression in publishing
worthy manuscripts from various
classes in English.
We hope we will see more of
this good work in the years to
come.

ART CLUB IS
PROGRESSIVE
Under the guidance of Miss Gibson
the Art club has accomplished
many wonderful things.
During their meetings, which
are held on Wednesdays, the members
are kept busy by weaving,
working with leather and carving
in wood. Many beautiful articles
have been made. But the Art club
is not "all work and no play". They
have had many parties throughout
the year, such as a weiner roast, a
pot-luck supper, and a dance.
One interesting meeting was
spent at Mrs. Cox's home where
the members were shown her
ancient glassware.
At the end of each year the Art
club has presented the high school
with a gift.
Two years ago a case in which
the art classes could exhibit their
handicraft was given to the school.
Last year a hand loom and a
foot loom were presented. With
these the students do many pieces
of very attractive weaving. The
same year an expensive book on
weaving was also presented.
This year the club is planning
to give the school a water-color
picture to be framed.
These gifts have not yet been
acknowledged to any great extent
by the student body, but we do
appreciate them very much.
Hunt, Horner,
Currier—Leaders
The Art club was opened this
year to all students wishing to
join, even though they did not
take the subject of art. This increased
the membership greatly.
Joyce Hunt handled the position
of president very efficiently.
Joyce is a very active art student.
She has carried the subject of art
for three years, so she is well fitted
for her position. She is also
an active student in her classes,
getting honor grades in all her
subjects. She was selected for the
debate team, being on the negative
squad. During the senior
Orpheum Joyce was a great help
on the costume committee.
Josephine Horner fulfilled the
position of secretary. She always
had her minutes written up and
ready to read at the next meeting.
Josephine is also a very good art
student. One usually finds her
quiet and demure.
Mary Currier, an ardent art student,
kept the treasury for the art
club. Mary has participated in all
art events and she is also an active
participant in athletics. She
has taken gym for four years, going
out for all the teams and track
work. Mary has done good work
with the treasury for they were
able to sponsor a dance as well as
other social activities.
THE ART CLUB
BRUNER HONORS
JOYCE HUNT
Last spring Mr. Bruner suggested
decorating the lower halls of
the school with murals and asked
the art department if they were
interested in such a project. The
art III classes took up the idea,
but little progress was made until
this fall. Joyce Hunt and Feme
Whitmore submitted outlines to
Mr. Bruner, who, after due consideration,
decided to adopt Joyce
Hunt's mural. Her theme is the
depicting of the education of man
and woman and their entrance into
the world of affairs.
This promises to be no easy job.
In the first place, the set of murals
must be painted in water-colors on
paper in actual size and put in
position to see what changes must
be made in colors and lighting.
Then scaffolding must be put up
and the murals will be painted on
in oils. They will be placed over
the east and west doors and along
each wall leading to the south
door. Except for a border, they
will cover the entire wall space
above the doors and lockers.
The preliminary work will be
done this spring; in the fall the
actual painting will begin, which
Miss Gibson estimates will require
about a semester.
Halls Decorated
With Fine Exhibit
The student body were surprised
one morning early this spring
when they came to school and
found the walls above the lockers
on the first floor adorned with
portraits, architectural sketches,
landscapes and what have you. We
soon found that the University of
Illinois was to be thanked for the
exhibit. The pictures were very
well drawn—the sketches of dams,
houses, and landscape arrangements
were especially interesting
to those taking mechanical drawing—and
the students in general
enjoyed the exhibit very much, especially
the drawings at the east
end of the hall.

The article that was written for
here was censored on May 4, A. D.
1936. The staff had spent two
hours to perfect this article so the
censoring was a very great disappointment.
We argued, argued,
argued, and argued but it was to
no avail. We hope you don't mind.

35 MEMBERS
IN THE HI-Y
The Hi-Y organization has just
completed another successful year.
They have allowed thirty-five
members to enter their club this
year, last year it was only twentyfive.
The Hi-Y organization held their
regular meetings every other Wednesday
evening at the Y. M. C. A.
A good number of their meetings
were held in a pot luck supper
style, for, being all boys, they just
had to eat. In this way they had
a good quantity and an excellent
variety to eat. At some of their
pot lucks they brought in outside
speakers. The club attended many
joint meetings with its sister organization,
the Tri-Y. They held
joint splash parties, pot lucks,
weiner roasts and dances.
In order to obtain money for the
treasury the boys had to get out
and work. They sold pencils at
five cents. At the football games
they sold apples, cider and doughnuts.
By collecting dues and securing
money in other small ways and
means, the Hi-Y got quite a little
sum and were able to pay for some
of the joint meetings that they
held with the Tri-Y.
The Hi-Y organization is a national
organization and can be
found in all the good sized schools.
The purpose of the Hi-Y, as the
constitution states, is to develop
the boys' minds and bodies in a
Christian-like attitude, and to support
and maintain a high moral
standard among the students.
Each year the Hi-Y national organization
holds a camping period
at Camp Seymour in Decatur, Illinois.
Here the boys of this organization
meet, have good times,
and are also trained to carry on
the work of the Hi-Y. Each year
they try to have as many juniors
attend this camp as possible for it
is up to them to carry on the
work for the coming year.
The total number of lockers in
the building is 499.
SPLASH PARTY
First Semester
Officers Re-elected
The Hi-Y organization elects
new officers at the middle of the
season. This season the members
were satisfied with the work of
the first semester officers so they
were re-elected for the second
term.
Robert Humphrey was the president.
Robert seemed to carry the
position of president very well for
he was the president of the Student
Council, also. He seemed to
be a born leader, and some of
these days we will not be surprised
if we see Robert becoming
one of our known lawyers.
"WANT TO BUY
A GOOD PENCIL?"
The Hi-Y has kept the school
well supplied with pencils during
the whole year. The students
found no need to run over to the
corner store for they could always
find a Hi-Y boy with his pocket
bulging with pencils. Their motto
seemed to be "always ready and
willing to sell".
The pencils were orange and
black, as well as gray and red,
with the basketball schedule printed
upon them. They sold for five
cents apiece. Several nickels were
added to the Hi-Y treasury
through this project.
Fourth Row: Dana, Eastman, Wilson, Wetzel, Hayward, R. Peterson, Huckins,

Bradley.
Franklin Wilson has been a
member of the Hi-Y for two years,
this year taking the office of vicepresident.
Franklin has been very
active during his senior year. He
was president of the senior class.
He played a very good game of
basketball, being one of the regular
players on the squad. Before
his senior year Franklin was one
of the boys who stayed away from
the girls, but now—he is quite the
ladies'-man! "You've got to be an
athletic hero" they say.
Vance Kennard was the "minute
man". He kept his minutes but he
probably never had a chance to
read them. Vance has taken an
active part on the debate squad
and he represented our school in
the second oratorical contest.
Petite Douglas Lay held the position
of treasurer. Douglas may
be small but we find him always
full of pep and ready to go.
The Tri-Y entertained the Hi-Y
at a novel dance on Monday night.
The dance was carried out in true
leap year fashion. The girl asked
the boy for the date. She called
for him at his home. At the dance
she filled his program. The boys
just had to sit back and relax—
or did they? After the dance she
took the boy to a restaurant and
bought him something to eat. The
favorite place for eating seemed
to be the Waunee Tavern.
When the night passed and the
wee hours of the morning rolled
around (12:02) she took the boy
home.
The Hi-Y organization is as
much a Y. M. C. A. organization
as it is a high school organization.
Its membership is limited to only
juniors and seniors.

Section III THE KEWANITE Page
DIFFICULT TRI-Y
INITIATION
Sept. 25—The Tri-Y has held initiation
for the last two days.
The new members were given
slips of paper, written by the old
members, telling them what to
wear each day. The next day
found the girls going to classes
in some of the most outlandish
outfits. The only way they can
be described is by giving an example
of the way one of the girls
was dressed.
She wore her hair done up in
rags. Her face contained enough
make-up for five people. Her dress
consisted of a gunny sack for a
skirt, and the blouse was worn
backwards—and what a blouse!
The would-be stockings were red
and black. On her feet were boots.
In her hand she carried a piece of
a hose and a pail. What a combination!
Secure New Members
The Tri-Y has increased the
membership of their club this
year. In the previous years this
club has had only twenty-five girls
enrolled. In order to admit more
girls into their club, the membership
has increased from twentyfive
to thirty-five.
At the beginning of the school
year the old members met and selected
the number of students to
be elected into the club. To these
girls they wrote formal invitations,
inviting them to become members
of the Tri-Y. This system is like
the college fraternities' system of
electing new members into their
fraternity groups.
The Tri-Y held its meetings at
the "Y" every second Monday of
the month under the direction of
Miss Genevieve Saygh and Miss
Helen Regan.
Sometime in February Miss
Miller found out we were counting
detention slips and that she had
a chance for one of the first three
prizes so she quit giving detention
slips.
D. A. KIRLEY
LEADS GROUP
Jan. 23—The Tri-Y had its first
meeting of the second semester at
the "Y" for the purpose of electing
officers. The meeting was in the
form of a banquet. After dinner
the following officers were chosen:
Dorothy Ann Kirley, president;
Genevieve Atkinson, vicepresident;
Katherine Larson, secretary;
and Rita Owens, treasurer.
Every meeting of the Tri-Y
throughout the year was enjoyed
by its members.
The members were divided into
different committees and in this
way the club had many good
parties, pot luck suppers and good
discussion meetings.
At the end of the first semester
the Tri-Y had a joint leap year
dance with the Hi-Y club. At this
dance, the girls played the roles
of the boys in every way, even to
the point of taking them home.
Two delightful splash parties
were also joint meetings with the
boys' club.
The treasure and scavenger
hunts, and a slumber party were
other meetings that were exciting
for its members.
In the fall the Tri-Y sponsored
a magazine campaign to secure
funds for their treasury. Prizes
were presented by the publishing
company to the students who sold
two or more magazines.
TRI-Y CLUB
HISTORY OF
THE TRI-Y
The Tri-Hi-Y is a state organization
of high school girls. The
movement of the Tri-Hi-Y came
out of a need for a similar organization
for girls to that of the Hi-Y
boys. This club is just as much a
Y. M. C. A. organization as a
high school organization.
The Tri-Hi-Y stands for the allaround
development of its members
in spirit, mind, and body; it
serves the three main training
agencies: home, church, and
school. Its purpose is to create,
maintain and extend throughout
the school and community a high
standard of Christian character.
The Tri-Hi-Y was first organized
at Kewanee High School three
years ago by the Misses Genevieve
Saygh and Helen Regan. The
members always find the meetings
enjoyable and each girl has
a chance to plan a meeting.
Their object for the year is to
serve a tea for the faculty. This
is an outstanding event of the
year, held in May. Another thing
that we can give the Tri-Hi-Y
credit for is the winning of first
prize on their homecoming float.
Every year in June the Tri-Hi-Y
organization holds a six-day camping
period for all the girls all over
the country. Two years ago some
of our girls were present and it is
hoped that this year we may
again be represented. The camp
is situated at Decatur, Illinois.

HAYWARD LEADS
DEBATE CLUB
The Debate club differs very
greatly from any other club because
it has very few social activities.
Instead it requires much
work and study. Since the club
has few business meetings the
members find that it isn't necessary
to have four officers. Therefore
they have only two.
Philip Hayward was selected as
president and Mike Milich was
secretary-treasurer during the
first semester. Harry Prince
served in the latter office during
the second semester.
Philip Hayward, being the only
person to be left from the previous
year, very ably took up the
position of president. He did a
good piece of work when the
meetings came up (which were
very few). Philip was very active
in many activities during his senior
year. He spent much time on
debate, in which he was quite successful,
carrying the position of
anchorman on the affirmative. He
was also on the Kewanite staff
and was a member of the Hi-Y
club. Philip got along very well
with his own classmates. He has
a very good sense of humor and
can originate some good jokes, almost
without knowing it.
Remember way back when,
when Philip was in grade school—
no, we'll say in the junior high
school. That sounds better. When
he was in the eighth grade he won
several spelling contests. To inform
you he can still spell, he vas
a great help in the Kewanite room
when someone got stuck with
spelling. He can spell about anything
including Czechoslovakia.
Mike Milich was very good at
his work of secretary and treasurer
during the first semester. He
had to leave school at the end of
the first semester and Harry
Prince took up his work. Mike did
well in debate and we feel sure
that the team suffered a great loss
when Mike left. We are happy to
report that Mike will again be in
school next year to continue his
good work. Mike was also active
in oratory.
Harry remarked when the pictures
were being taken for officers
of the club that he would get
his taken in two poses since he
was carrying two offices. Harry
did a nice job with the treasury,
for the Debate club secured quite
a little sum before the year ended.
He is well-known for his art work,
doing a great deal of the Kewanite
art work.
Club Raises
Expense Money
The Debate club held its meetings
every two weeks on Tuesdays
during the first semester. At
these meetings the members spent
their time having debates and
learning the fundamentals and
the technique of debate. The purpose
of this club is to prepare its
members for the try-outs.
The Debate club has few social
times for most of their time is
spent in hard work. In spite of
this the club does not suffer for
lack of membership.
Money for the treasury was secured
by sponsoring candy sales
during noon hours and at football
games, and by pop sales at the
basketball games. They also sponsored
a movie, "The Birth of a
Nation", at the Kewanee Armory
in January. Although this is a
very old film it was presented here
with sound effects.
The officers of the year were:
Philip Hayward, president; and
Harry Prince, secretary-treasurer.
The records of the district debates
were as follows: Kewanee
affirmative vs. Jacksonville negative—won
by Kewanee; Kewanee
affirmative vs. Franklin negative
—won by Kewanee; Kewanee affirmative
vs. Western Academy
negative—won by Western Academy.
The debate teams can give Mr.
R. H. Classon a lot of credit for
their good season. Mr. Classon has
been the able director of the Debate
club, giving them advice and
helpful suggestions.
MR. CLASSON
CHOOSES SQUAD
After the first semester of debating
at club meetings the members
were ready for the try-outs.
The try-outs were held in December.
The competition was good and
Mr. R. H. Classon, the advisor and
director, picked a team of nine.
Those selected on the varsity
squad were: Jack Ladd, Harry
Prince, Philip Hayward, Pauline
Van Raemdonk, Joyce Hunt,
Vance Kennard, Sherry Welch,
Robert Humphrey, and Robert
Bowman. Of these the affirmative
was made up of Sherry Welch,
Robert Humphrey, Philip Hayward,
and Pauline Van Raemdonk.
Those on the negative were Joyce
Hunt, Harry Prince, Jack Ladd,
and Vance Kennard.
AUGUSTANA TRIP
The members of the debate
team feel that some recognition
should be given to Mr. Edward
J. Kazubowski for his noble services
on the Augustana trip. Mr.
"Burleycue Ed," sat through six
debates—although it cannot be
said that he heard them all. Perhaps
he only shut his eyes in order
to concentrate better on the
speeches. Robert Humphrey, the
worthy second affirmative, proved
his resourcefulness by showing Ed
how to get out of paying a nickel
in the boy's dressing room at the
Harper House. Humphrey also
astonished an elevator attendant
with his command of the French
language when he asked how to
get there.
Fourth Row: Turnbull, Hayward, Mr. Classon, Mulligan, Humphrey, Bowman.
Third Row: DcPauw, Ladd, Prince. VanRaemdonk, J. Hunt, Hill.

Hay ward
The affirmative debate squad
has been very active during the
second semester. This team did
not seem to get a good start but
before the end of the season they
came through in a "blaze of
glory".
The conference debate began on
February 28, when the Kewanee
affirmative met the East Mollne
negative. The Kewanee affirmative
was defeated. The results of
the other conference debates were:
Kewanee affirmative vs. Rock Island
negative—won by Rock Island;
Kewanee affirmative vs.
East Moline negative—won by Kewanee.
At Davenport on March 25,
the Kewanee affirmative were defeated
by the Davenport negative.
In the district tournament the
Kewanee team showed what they
really could do. They came
through with honors, winning
three debates and losing only one.
We are proud to say that our affirmative
team defeated the Jacksonville
negative, although Jacksonville
took first place in the district.
Ericson Wins
Oratory Contest
The local oratorical contest for
boys was held in the high school
auditorium recently. At this time
the winner was picked to represent
Kewanee High School in the
Northwest conference held at
Rock Island on December 6. David
Ericson, who gave "A Way of
Life", took first place and will
travel to Rock Island.
Others speaking in the local
contest were Mike Milich, Vance
Kennard delivering "Pseudo-Patriotism",
and Robert Bowman
speaking "College for Crooks".
In the second oratorical contest
to be held in Kewanee this year
Vance Kennard secured first
place; Robert Bowman, second,
and John Cavanagh third. David
Ericson and Francis Rinella were
also in the tryouts. Vance represented
us at Aledo. He did not
place among the first two, but he
very ably represented us and we
feel he was not far behind the second
place.
The oratory is under the able
direction of Mr. Classon.
Declamation
The declamation this year has
not been as popular as it has in
the days of old. From the try-outs
only one student was selected, this
being Pauline Van Raemdonk.
Pauline has been a faithful representative
in declamation for the
last four years. She was entered
in the Northwest Conference
where she spoke "Camille". Although
she did not place here, she
did a very good piece of work and
we can give her much credit.
Pauline again represented us in
the district tournament at Aledo,
Illinois. Only two places were
given and we know that, although
she was not among those first two,
she was not far behind. Here she
spoke a cutting from "Macbeth".
The declamation this year was
under the able direction of Mr.
Alvin Kaiser.
NEGATIVE COPS
THREE WINS
The debate team began its year
by traveling to Augustana to take
part in the pre-season debate
tournament. This was their first
experience and although they
found many limitations, it was
good experience for the team.
On February 7 a practice debate
was held between Kewanee and
Princeton. Another practice was
held with Geneseo.
February 28 the negative team
met the Galesburg affirmative
team at Galesburg. They showed
fight, although they did not win.
However, March 5 saw the Kewanee
negative walking off with a
decision over Monmouth affirmative.
The negative team won from the
Davenport affirmative at Davenport
on March 25. This brought
up their spirits, which helped
them considerably in the district
tournament. Here they came
through with a good fighting
spirit, winning three debates and
losing only one.
The scores of the other debates
were: Kewanee negative vs. Macomb
affirmative—won by Kewanee;
Kewanee negative vs. Waverly
affirmative—won by Kewanee;
Kewanee negative vs. Western
Academy — won by Western
Academy.

SIZE OF BAND
IS INCREASED
THE BAND
The members of the band have
won a name for themselves this
year. The band has also increased
greatly in size, having twenty-six
members.
They deserve great credit for
stimulating all the pep at the football
and basketball games. They
have also played for several pep
meetings and have stirred up a lot
of spirit among the students.
Most of the members will be
back in school for several years
and, under the capable direction of
Mr. Brown, will be able to accomplish
wonderful results. Those
playing in the band are:
Trombones—C harles
Jack Dee, Leon Pankey,
Stronks, Elsie Chapman.
Binno,
Willard

school music students, has been
organized for the purpose of getting
the parents of the band students
more interested in their
work.
The Kewanee band parents' association
headed by Henry Bennison
has been making an effort
to secure new uniforms for the
band members. They will be in
military style with Sam Browne
belts, the uniforms carrying out
the school colors with black base
and orange trimmings. They will
help to sponsor the Coe college
concert at the Irving school on
April 9.
Second Row: Lee, Coven, Lovejoy, Lewis, Mr. Brown.
First Row: Wells, Beuster, Binno, Fisher, Jordan, Purvis, Dee, Heaps.
ORCHESTRA HAS
SIXTEEN PIECES
The orchestra was not very
large this year but it was somewhat
larger than in the previous
years. It can boast of having sixteen
members.
The orchestra was not given
much recognition but the members
put forth their efforts to give
themselves a name. We feel that
they should be congratulated.
The practices were held every
Monday and Wednesday at 1
o'clock in the social room. This
musical organization did not mfike
many public appearances during
the year. They played several selections
at both commencement
and open house.
Most of the members will be
back next year. Mr. Brown, their
leader, hopes to increase the size
of the orchestra to what it used
to be in the "good old days".
The personnel of the orchestra
was as follows:
Violin—Harold Beuster, Wilbur
Binno, August Lee, Orie Daniels,
Eileen Schoenberger, Mary Wells.
Clarinets—June Fisher, Betty
Jordan.
French Horn—Jack Loots.
Trumpet—Charles Coven, James
Purvis.

THE GLEE CLUB PRESENTS "OH, DOCTOR"
The glee clubs
of Kewanee
High School
meet three
times a week.
They are divided
into three
divisions, the
senior girls, the
boys' club, and
the junior girls'
glee club.
The senior
girls have oeen
making the
most public appearances.
They
entertained for
a meeting of
the Rotary club,
held at the
Parkside hotel,
November 12. They gave two selections,
"June Rhapsody", and
"Rosita". They gave a performance
at the local oratorical contest
held in November. In March they
sang at the Oxford club banquet.
In April they entered the Illinois
Wesleyan vocal contest. They also
sang at the baccalaureate.
The boys' glee club has made
few appearances, having only the
operetta and open house in their
schedule.
The junior girls' chorus is
mainly a preparation for the coming
year when they will enter the
senior chorus.
The sole work of the glee clubs
is to present an operetta in the
spring. This year it was "Oh Doctor",
which proved to be a success,
having in the cast almost the entire
glee club.
We can give a lot of credit to
Mr. Brown, for, being his first
year at K. H. S., he has accomplished
a great deal.
Iris Ohlinger lives closer to Irving
school than any other member
of the cast, but she was always
the last one to arrive for rehearsals.

DANCE
CLUB
Sept. 10—
The first
meeting of the
Dance club was
held Thursday
for the purpose
of electing officers.
All the
members were
present, including
about fifty
new members.
The officers
elected were Pauline Van Raemdonk,
president, and Margaret
Burchett, secretary-treasurer.
The main purpose of the Dance
club will be the Dance Drama in
the spring. So the few meetings
to be held will have this project
in view.

is made up of all the girls in the
club. They are divided into small
groups where each girl has a
chance to interpret her ideas in
rhythm and dances. These groups
create their own dances, so you
can see that this is all original.
When all the dances are put together
it makes the beautiful
spectacle, the Dance Drama.
The Dance club held its annual
tea party in honor of its new
members. A good program was
given, featuring some of the best
talent from the membership of
the club. Social dancing was enjoyed
after the tea, at which Pauline
Van Raemdonk and Margaret
Burchett poured.
Every year new members are
taken into the Dance club by tryouts
given early in the fall, Any
student with an ear for rhythm
and music is able to complete.
About fifty new girls were taken
in this year. This club is the largest
organization in high school. As
a whole it has approximately one
hundred members enrolled.

DANCE DRAMA
BIG SUCCESS
April 18—Friday a large audience
enjoyed the annual Dance
Drama presented in the auditorium
of the Kewanee High School. The
production was one of the largest
to be put on in the high school.
The Dance Drama is presented
every year by the Dance club. Altogether
one hundred girls took
part in the dancing. The dances
were interpretive and were a varition
of types.
A series of dances were presented
showing the evolution of
dancing in America. The first was
an Indian dance. The rhythm was
that of the torn toms and proved
to be very effective. The next
step in the evolution was the minuet.
This was one of
the prettiest dances of
the drama. The costuming,
slow music,
and sedate movements
of the dancers made
this dance very effective.
The next step was
the ballet. The costumes
of this were
short and fluffy, and
of various colors. The
barn dance of this series
was lively and
clever. The Charleston
was a great hit and
proved to be one of the
best of the drama. The
final dance of the evolution
was the "Moderne". The
dance was rhythmical and costuming
was that of the top hat, white
tie, and tails.
One of the cleverest dances was
"Jiggers the Cops". Three girls
took part in this. The fast movements
of this dance pleased the
audience immensely.
Another clever dance was entitled
"Practice Hour". This was
a good interpretive dance of a
young child trying to practice her
piano lessons. It was clever and
amusing.
Another solo dance was the
"Tight Rope". This showed the
various stunts of the tight rope
walker. The dancing was very
good and showed the effort the
walker was putting forth to make
the tricks successful.
"On Parade" proved to be a
stirring march. The uniforms of
red, white and blue added to the
effect of the dance.
The black curtains, bought by
the Dance club in 1934, made an
excellent background for the colorful
costumes. The lighting effect
added to the production.

NATURE CLUB PROVES INTERESTING TO
ITS MANY MEMBERS
The Nature club is composed of
the idolists of dear old Mother
Nature. Many of the members
have studied or will study biology
under the supervision of either
Miss Savage or Miss Ewan. This
club introduces one to the more
detailed subject of nature and its
functions. It is not a class lesson,
however.
The meetings are called every
other Tuesday. They are more or
less formal meetings. Usually the
members entertain with speeches
or reports of biological nature.
Then there are speakers from outside
the club. A talk about Indian
relics found around here was
given by a man from Neponset.
Vincent Hammerlund gave an interesting
talk on taxidermy, which
is the art of stuffing and mounting
animals and birds.
Besides these indoor meetings
there are the field trips. The members
dress in old clothes and go
out to hunt twigs, stones, or mushrooms,
whichever may please
them. Sometimes they take their
lunches. A study of birds in the
spring is exceptionally interesting.
Each year Miss Savage takes the
club for a visit to a coal mine.
They have visited the cheese factory
at Toulon. They also will
visit the fish hatcheries at Geneseo.
Pot luck suppers are held frequently.
Nature Club
Elects Officers
The Nature club is one of the
youngest clubs at K. H. S. It was
organized in the year of 1934 under
the direction of Miss Savage.
The purpose of this club is to promote
more interest in Mother
Nature, her ways and means and
her beauty.
Any student interested in nature
is eligible for membership.
This past year the Nature club
has become one of the most popular
clubs. The members always
find their activities enjoyable. A
great deal of this credit can be
given to Miss Savage.
New members were received at
the beginning of the second semester.
They, too, went through
the required procedure of the initiation.
The officers of this organization
for the past year were:
Marian Swett, president; Eloise
Stinson, vice-president; Leslie
Peterson, treasurer; Ruth Martin,
recording secretary; Jane Manthe,
program secretary.
Did you know that Miss Ewan
has awakened at the early hour
of five several Saturday mornings
to take some of her "naturalists"
on bird hikes ?
NATURE CLUB
HAS FIELD TRIP
The Nature club in the past
year has become one of the most
active clubs in the high school.
Besides the regular meetings the
club has had many outside activities.
On Saturdays and after school,
when the weather permitted, the
members who were interested took
frequent field trips and bird hunts.
Trips for all the members were
also planned and enjoyed. These
trips were made to the out-of-town
places which were interesting to
the field of nature.
In March the club went to Toulon
to visit the cheese factory.
Here they were shown through
the entire factory, learning every
thing from "A to Z."
In April the members visited
the fish hatchery at Geneseo. They
also took a full day trip to the
canal. This was in the form of a
picnic, the students enjoying
themselves by fishing, going on
field trips and on bird hunts.

MEETINGS
The regular meetings of the
Nature club were held every other
Tuesday evening. The students
planned their own programs for the
meetings. Talks were given by
the members on nature subjects.
Outside speakers were often secured
to give interesting talks.
Some speakers demonstrated their
subjects.
The time of the Nature club was
not only spent dealing with nature,
and all the members do love nature,
but they also have social
times. At one time a delightful
pot-luck supper was enjoyed. At
another meeting, when the roads
were slippery, the club took out
their old ear muffs and overshoes
and went on an old-fashioned bobsled
party.

JUNIOR CLASS
PRESENTS PLAY,
"IT NEVER RAINS"
November 22 — On Thursday
evening- the junior class presented
a fast moving comedy, "It Never
Rains".
It was a series of laughs from
the opening of the curtain until
the closing.
The play takes place in a California
college town, in the home
of a real estate dealer who has a
nineteen year old son, Jimmy,
capably played by Douglas Lay.
Jimmy suddenly falls desperately
in love with Dorothy Donovan.
Anna Mae Boning gave an excellent
portrayal of this young girl.
Norleen Sears is jealous of Dorothy
and as a result Dorothy is
declined a bid in the sorority of
which she desired to become a
member.
Because of Dorothy's disappointment,
Jimmy and Dorothy
decide to marry. Of course, the
parents object, but everything
turns out for the best when Dorothy
is admitted into the sorority
and Jimmy is elected cheer leader.
The play is climaxed by an attempt
of Jimmy and Dorothy to
elope during a heavy rainstorm.
Bette O'Connor and Ruth Martin
excellently played the parts of
elderly, motherly ladies with violent
tempers. Their husbands, and
the fathers of Dorothy and Jimmy,
played by Sherry Welch and Le-
Roy Kwetinski, added to the humor
of the play, as did Charlotte
Smith, the colored maid at the
Rogers home. James Purvis gave
an excellent interpretation of Dane
Lawson, a conceited, small town
business man who has made good.
Lois Johnson, because of illness,
was unable to take part in the
play. At dress rehearsal, Marion
Ewan, already in the cast, memorized
Lois's lines and acted the
part seemingly without difficulty.
A good deal of credit should go
to the production staff for their
work. An interior set-up of a room
in a California home was especially
clever. Overstuffed furniture,
floor lamps, bookcases and
pictures added to the naturalness
of the scene.
With Mr. Kaiser's work, the
cast's talent, and the co-operation
of the class, the play was a huge
success.
Try-Outs Take
Much Time
Twenty boys and over thirty
girls reported for the first tryouts
of "It Never Rains".
After reading portions of the
script for two days, Mr. Kaiser
asked the group to write the cast
of their choice. The tryouts had
been so successful that their
choice was very similar to his.
There was close competition
when it came to choosing the
character to portray Norleen
Sears. Marian Ewan, Lois Johnson,
Betty Lou Kennedy, Crystal
Van Hefte, Darlene Clark and Arlene
Hill were those eligible. Arlene
was finally chosen and played
the part well.
The seniors wish to congratulate
the juniors on their class
play. We still think our play was
better. Of course, the seniors
are "born actors."
'IT NEVER RAINS'
LARGE CROWD
ATTENDS PLAY
On Thursday evening a large
crowd filled the auditorium to witness
the junior class play.
Because of the humor of the
play the audience was kept continually
in laughter.
From the beginning the audience
was kept interested in the
characters. This was largely due
to the good acting which the cast
did.
Between the acts presents were
presented by Don Bystry to Mr.
Kaiser and Miss Nobiling, the
class advisor.
The tickets for the play were
distributed through the whole junior
class, who did their part in
making the play a success.
Thank you, Mr. Kaiser, Miss
Nobiling, and all others who helped
to make our play a success.

"APPLESAUCE" PRESENTED AS SR. PLAY
CLASS PLAY AT
IRVING SCHOOL
May 2—Friday evening the senior
class of the Kewanee High
School presented "Applesauce".
The three-act comedy made a
great hit with the audience.
The play centers around an average
American family composed
of Ma, Pa, and Hazel, a young
daughter. The continued arguments
between Ma and Pa added
to the humor of the play. These
parts were played exceptionally
well by Pauline Van Raemdonk
and Mervin Millman.
Hazel, played by Iris Ohlinger,
falls in love and marries a goodfor-nothing
but likeable young
man, Bill. The family are disgusted
as Hazel has turned down a
wealthy man, Rollo Jenkins, for
Bill McAllister. Philip Hayward
gave an excellent interpretation of
the jilted suitor. After much trouble
with Bill's uncle, Matt McAllister,
everything turns out for the
best for Hazel and Bill live happily
together without the interference
of the family or the family's
friends. Robert Humphrey played
the part of Bill's uncle quite capably
and his storms of rage added
to the excitement of the play. Jack
Marlow displayed some fine acting
ability as Bill and his lines gave
spice to the play. Dorothy Ann
Kirley carried her part of a
snoopy neighbor well.
The play gained its name from
the fact that the only thing Bill
McAllister could speak about was
"Applesauce".
Robert Humphrey, Philip Hayward,
Pauline Van Raemdonk and
Dorothy Ann Kirley divided their
time between play practice and
Kewanite work so we believe they
deserve some congratulations for
their work on the final production
to be staged by the class of 1936.
Rehearsals didn't stop the progress
of the Kewanite. Mr. Humphrey
and Miss Miller constituted
what might be called the mobile
office unit of the Kewanite staff.
One of the offices consisted of a
few planks and saw horses set up
in the hall at Irving, and Bob and
Miss Miller worked there between
scenes. Humphrey kept himself
in the mood for his part by practising
being tough on little kids
that were hanging around.
Preparation
The comedy for the senior class
play was chosen by Mr. Kaiser
during the month of March and
try-outs were called in the middle
of the month. About thirty-five
seniors appeared for try-outs.
From this group were chosen two
casts to compete for a week when
the final cast would be held. There
was no competition for the part of
Bill as Jack Marlow seemed to be
the most suitable and proved to
be worthy of such by his final interpretation
of this character.
The final cast began practice
immediately when chosen and
practiced from March 30 to May 1.

In many a year the grid fans
have not had a chance to see an
athlete improve like Freddy Shinkevich.
Never having donned the
war togs before, Freddy made
himself one of the best open field
runners in the conference in his
first year as a regular. He also
got credit for playing every minute
during the '35-'36 season.
Crowd
'APPLESAUCE"
Cast:
Owing to the efforts of the senior
class, the class play, "Applesauce",
was largely attended.
The play was one of the best
productions presented during the
year of 1935 and 1936. The cast
very capably portrayed their parts
with the effectiveness of professional
actors and actresses.
The audience was held interested
in the plot until the ending of
the play. The comic characters
gave the crowd much enjoyment,
especially Jenny and the way she
reacted to the various situations.

Kewanee always has the reputation
of having one of the best
equipped teams and we are hoping
that they will continue this
practice. In football the fans will
remember those bright pants and
j jerseys that the Anderson men
sported, and the same applies for
I basketball.

Section III THE KEWANITE Page 17
SENIORS SCORE WITH "THE FRONT PAGE"
ORPHEUM IS
PRESENTED
December 19—Wednesday evening,
"The Front Page" was successfully
presented by the senior
class as their annual Orpheum.
The plot dealt with a murder of
a columnist in a newspaper office.
In the first act Robert Brosius, the
columnist, assigned reporters to
cover sections of the city, including
a Chinese restaurant, a medicine
show, the "Man on the
Street," and a stage show.
The oriental atmosphere was
created by lights, costuming and
oriental music. Choruses dressed
in flowered kimonas and pajamas
gave this scene color. Daryl Clong
acted as the Chinese host in the
restaurant.
The street scene was a varied
program of singers, dancers, firemen
and, oh yes, a street cleaner!
Bob Humphrey, as the "Man on
the Street", introduced the various
numbers. Franklin Wilson and
Robert Brosius made quite a hit
with the audience as firemen.
Parker Worrell should also be
complimented on his fine acting
as a street cleaner.
The medicine show with Indians,
harmonizers and old-time dancers,
proved to be quite entertaining.
Leybourne Buckley sold his Indian
medicine with the zeal and persuasion
of a real medicine man.
The final scene was the opening
night in a theater with Philip
Hayward as master of ceremonies.
The best talent of the class was
displayed in this act. Eileen
Schoenberger and her violin gained
much applause, as did Dean Stoner
with his tapping feet.
The grand finale brought the
entire cast of one hundred and
three seniors together with the
song, "Shipmates Forever".
Much Time Spent
On "Front Page"
November 19—Today the general
committee for the Orpheum
met with Miss McCarthy to discuss
the plans for the production.
Each person was asked to present
an idea for a plot. Several were
suggested by the group and finally
the murder in the newspaper office
proved to be the most satisfactory.
The ideas of Martha
Glidden, chairman, Katherine Larson,
Genevieve Atkinson, Betty
Jane McDowell, Vivian Anderson,
Rita Owens, Jack Ladd, Phil Hayward
and Rosemary Zeglis were
collected to be rounded into the
final production. The committee
was divided into small groups,
each having a scene or two to
write.
There was little debating about
the title as everyone thought "The
Front Page" seemed the most suitable
for the type of plot that was
to be used.
The Orpheum committee thought
the class was rather lacking in
talent but several new stars were
discovered. Adeline Kaiser, Dorothy
Ann Kirley, Ruth Oberndorfer,
Shannon Buntin and Marjorie
Tangeman were included in
the vocalists. Jean Thurman and
Iris Ohlinger were found to make
an ideal dance team. Franklin
Wilson and Robert Brosius proved
to be clever "clowns".
The choruses were organized
under the direction of Miss Mihalik.
Mr. Kaiser directed the speech
work of the main characters.
The senior class wishes to express
appreciation to the Misses
McCarthy and Mihalik, Mr. Kaiser
and also to Martha Glidden, chairman
of the Orpheum committee.
ORPHEUM IS
BIG SUCCESS
A large crowd was present in
the Kewanee High School auditorium
to witness the antics of the
seniors in their annual production,
the senior Orpheum.
Because of the tremendous variety
of entertainment offered, the
audience consisted of all ages and
types of people. The lightness of
the whole affair appealed to the
younger folk. Yet, there was a
certain air of levity which created
the impression that much time and
labor had been spent on the production.
The participants were not only
the talented actors, dancers, singers
and wise-crackers, but there
was a large crew of seniors who
helped in the production end. There
were those who drafted the plans,
decided what motif should be carried
out and were generally responsible
for the arrangements;
who were in charge of the stage
management, lighting and properties;
and there were those who
were responsible for the publicity,
ticket sales, programs and the
house management of that evening.
We can readily see that the
large cast made a more personal
and direct appeal to the citizens of
Kewanee.

ATTRACTIVE DESERT
SCENE FOR 1935 PROM
In the Central School gymnasium,
transformed into a desert
scene with camels, pyramids and
palms of purple and lavender on a
white background ,the class of '36
gave the seniors a grand farewell
party.
Pauline Van Raemdonk, the
junior class president, gave a welcoming
speech to the seniors and
Jack Bystry, president of the
graduating class, gave the fitting
response.
The grand march, led by the
class presidents and their partners,
was a pretty sight for the
large audience in the balcony. Joe
Livek and his band from La Salle
provided music for this event, as
well as for the dancing.
During the intermission, a program
was presented consisting of
songs by Lucia Thorne, a reading
by Mary Palmer, a former Kewanee
student, and dances by Dean
Stoner and Virginia Phillips.
The decoration committee, with
Lois Whitmore as chairman,
worked for two weeks under the
supervision of Miss Gibson to prepare
for the prom. First the walls
were papered with a white paper.
Then camels and pyramids were
sketched on from a pattern drawn
by the committeemen. After this
the committee, Marian Swain,
Joyce Hunt, Bob Humphrey, Harry
Prince, and Lois Whitmore, painted
the sketches during the evenings.
Being amateur painters,
they found it difficult to make the
creatures.
It took the committee as long
to remove the decorations as it did
to put them up. The walls were
soaked with sponges and scraped
with putty knives. The gym was a
sorry sight when it was filled with
grimy students with purple paint
dribbling down their arms and
faces and when the floor was a
mass of paper, paint, dirt and
water.
BITS ON THE '35 PROM
Did you know that John Herbert
Ladd controlled the lights at
the '35 prom but he had a good
date that night so he didn't put
them out?
It was said last year that Helen
Szalkowski had 15 chances to go
to the prom but one Hubert Oscar
Romack certainly won in one
invitation this year.
THE BIG NIGHT
PARTIES
ART CLUB
During the first semester the
Art club sponsored a leap year
dance in the social room for members
and invited guests. An interesting
program was given during
the evening. Refreshments
were served.
SPEECH CLASS
Mr. Graham's speech classes
planned a dance in November as
a friendly get-together of the
three classes. Dancing was enjoyed
to the music of Don Bystry's
orchestra. The committee in
charge was Vivian Anderson.
Leta Gumm, and Don Paull.
DANCE CLUB
For those who took part in the
"Dance Drama" a novel party was
held on May 7. The group divided
up with half of the girls playing
the roles of the boy friends and
the other half being the "sweet
young misses". They took their
"dates" to the girls' gymnasium
where a dance was held. Novel
dances were enjoyed throughout
the evening. At this time Caroline
Friedland was presented with
a prize for selling the most tickets
to the "Dance Drama".
SOPHOMORE PARTY
Even though the sophomores
were a bit slow in making up their
minds "to go social" they did end
SR.-FROSH
RECEPTION
To atone for the horrors of hazing
through which the freshman
class passed, the senior class, as
big pals, entertained the "freshies"
at a reception.
Franklin Wilson, the senior class
president, welcomed the class of
'39 and Bill Whetstone, the freshman
class president, made the response.
With Philip Hayward as master
of ceremonies a program followed
consisting of songs by Clare and
Joan Cavell, a dance by Gerald
Bartz and Geraldine Van Hefte,
musical numbers by Rosemary and
William Goffrier, song and dance
by Maurine Fields, and a reading
by Lois Johnson.
Refreshments were served and
when the party was declared over,
the freshmen were again hazed.

SECOND ANNUAL HOME COMING BIG SUCCESS
PARADE FEATURE
OF HOMECOMING
The student body stopped the
traffic in the business district with
its annual Homecoming parade.
The parade consisted of many
cars, decorated with the colors of
the high school, and floats constructed
by the various clubs of
the school. The band led the parade
through the business district.
The Tri-Y won the first place in
the parade. Several girls were attired
as bridesmaids attending a
bride and groom representing Miss
Victory wedding Kewanee. Genevieve
Atkinson made a charming
bride standing with Marjorie Kildow,
who was dressed in football
togs.
The second award was won by
the Nature club. The theme of
their float was "the game is in
the bag". On this was a hunter
and a bear.
The Girls' Glee club received the
third price. On their float was a
musical staff with the "Song of
Victory" in large letters.
The organizations represented in
the parade were: Tri-Y, Nature
club, Girls' Glee club, junior class,
senior class, freshman class, sophomore
class, Debate club, Dramatic
club, Dance club, Manual
Arts, Boys' Glee club, Kewanite,
Art club, Hi-Y, Riveters and the
Band.
The judges for the day were
Miss Anastasia Cullen, Len Nelson
and Mr. Flostrum.
Homecoming- Slants
Of all the boys in the senior
class, four Tri-Y girls had to carry
the Kewanite float through town.
It seems Bob Humphrey and
Frank Wilson had great fun chasing
a borrowed cat over town. Did
they let the cat out of the bag!
Jack Ladd proved himself to be
an excellent electrician when he
blew three fuses out at the Homecoming
dance.
PROGRAM OF
HOMECOMING
Many years ago it was the custom
to have a Homecoming dance
for the alumni sometime during
the school term.
In the year of 1934 Jack Bystry,
Mr. Robinson, and the Student
Council arranged a Homecoming
which was to become a tradition
of the school.
Because of the success of this
first Homecoming the succeeding
class again undertook to entertain
the alumni with a parade, mass
meeting, game and dance.
A huge bonfire, pep meeting and
a torch light parade opened the
series of events for the second
Homecoming.
Planned by the student body,
under the capable leadership of
Vance Kennard, hundreds of students
assembled at the school to
cheer around a large fire.
Following this a pep meeting
was held in the gymnasium. The
high school band played several
numbers, Robert Brosius and
Shannon Buntin gave an exhibition
boxing match, and Crystal and
Geraldine Van Hefte delighted the
audience with a dance.
Following this several alumni
spoke. Included in the group were
"Jada" Puskar, last year's halfback;
"Hank" Smith, last year's
fullback; Jack Bystry, president of
the class of '35;'Phil Carroll; and
Emil Anson. Each speaker stressed
the fact that Kewanee would have
to fight hard to win as the rivalry
between Princeton and Kewanee
has always been great.
Coach Anderson introduced the
members of the team and Cliff
Hyink made a few remarks about
the capability of the team.
The class of '36 selected by ballot
Franklin Wilson as their commencement
orator. This was, indeed,
an honor well bestowed.
DANCE GIVEN
BY KEWANITE
The whole school was very busy
during Homecoming week in preparing
for the events. Much preparation
was needed in order to
make the homecoming for the
alumni successful.
There was a bonfire to be arranged,
torches to be made, a program
to be prepared for the pep
meeting, and a dance to be scheduled.
For the torch light parade,
torches were soaked in oil by some
of the students. The huge bonfire
was made by freshmen who gathered
wood and cardboard for several
days. Their work, of course,
went up in smoke.
The program presented at the
mass meeting in the gymnasium
was arranged by the Student Council
of the first semester. Although
Vance Kennard was unable to do
much active work because of a
broken leg, he, nevertheless, did
his part to make the program a
success.
The dance was given by the
Kewanite staff under the direction
of Miss Miller. Robert Humphrey,
editor-in-chief, scheduled the orchestra
of George Chapin for the
dance. The boys of the staff constructed
the platform for the
orchestra and tended to the check
room and lights.
The members of the various
clubs worked for many days on the
floats for the parade held on Friday
afternoon. The clubs met and
submitted ideas for the floats and
debated upon which one to use.

team composed of some of the
notables of this section — once
played on a football team with
four other Andersons, although
they were not related—spends his

LANDIS COACHES
THE RESERVES
Galen Landis—often termed the
little coach of the little men—a
graduate of Western Illinois State
Teachers of Macomb—develops little
gridders into big strong Boilermakers—starts
them out as Riveters
while freshmen and sophomores—smiles
continuously and
likes "his boys"—littlest man of
the coaching staff — instructs in
manly art of woodworking—hobby
is fishing. Coach Landis estimates
that his faithful, small gridders
put in 100 hours of hard practice,
walked about 25 miles to practice,
changed clothes 50 times and
played 6 games.

coaches—captain of Moline High
gridders—all-state tackle—went to
the University of Illinois where
he earned letters in his favorite
sport—assisted Coach Ross Anderson
as a right-hand man in tutoring
of the line last fall—a genial
fellow well-liked by all the gridders
— continued coaching after
football season with the development
of wrestling in the high
school—junior high basketball.
Cliff has proved his value in the
two years he has been with us and
we hope he will continue under our
colors.
STEVENS COACHES

Ed Stevens—the fellow who tells
you the facts about physics and
chemistry also has the job of developing
the younger Boilermakers—schools,
Illinois College and
Cornell University—is responsible
for the interesting way he runs off
the intra-mural and inter-class
activities for those whose sports
are not in session—gives the track
squad the fundamentals and workouts
necessary for the usually successful
teams which the Orange
and Black put on the cinder paths.

CHEER LEADER
Our regular
cheer leader
this year is the
only survivor
of the try-outs
which were
held during the
football season.
At one time we
had N ai da
Ptasnik, Con
Kelly, Rose
Naseef, along
with Charles
"Shorty" Olson.
Shorty stuck
with the job
through thick and thin, and so acquired
the bright new pants and
the flashy sweater for his efforts.
In football and basketball season
alike he got the yells from the
usually "mild voiced" Kewanee
High School students. For his first
year in this work we think that
Shorty carried out his duties very
well. Next season he should be all
worked up and full of new ideas.
Shorty especially gets a kick out
of leading when Pat Mulligan is
sitting in the front row during an
assembly, as he demonstrated during
the meeting for the regional
tournament.

OUTSTANDING
GRID SEASON
"We did not have the record of
our team of last year, but I think
that the morale and spirit of our
team this year as a whole was
just as good, if not better than
last year," is the way Coach Anderson
spoke of the team of '35.
The Orange and Black finished
the conference schedule with two
victories and three losses. At the
start of the season the Anderson
men showed the loss of so many
lettermen, but towards the middle
of the season they started driving
and played good ball, only to be
set back by an injury, or the loss
of a player dropping out, or an
ineligibility. In the line the fans
will bid farewell to ends Dean
Stoner, Orie McCollum and Stan
Miskinis; guards Eddie Angelcyk
and Ed Radovich, tackle Jack
Simpson and Captain Russ Wetzel
at center. The backfield will be
hard hit with the loss of Dale Nelson
at quarter, Keith Vinson at
fullback, and the triple-threat
men, Fred Shinkevich and Ed
Schlindwein at halves.
The conference games:
Kewanee 14 Rock Island 12
The Boilermakers pounded their
way to a 14-12 win over Rock Island,
the first Northwest Conference
victory. The Orange and
Black battlers forced the Islanders
to 'the air and not until the last
quarter were the guests able to
score. The winning margin was
an automatic safety in the third
canto after a blocked punt.
The two teams battled back and
forth in the first half without a
score on either side.
In the third quarter the Kewa-

TO HAVE NEW
ATHLETIC FIELD
Something that has been looked
forward to for a good number of
years will greet the athletic-minded
of '36, this being the extensive
new athletic field, as yet unnamed.
Work is progressing at the new
field in great fashion, and it will
be ready for opening next fall unless
there is an unexpected hitch
in the development of sufficient
sod. A cinder track, giving the
Boilermakers the track facilities
they have badly needed, is being
finished but will not be ready for
this spring's contests.
A proposition of placing permanent
concrete seats for part of
the field is being considered by the
school board and W.P.A. officials.
If the cost is not found to be too
great, it is possible that these may
be erected by relief labor, otherwise
the old bleachers will be
used. A club house is being erected
to give dressing room facilities,
and showers will be added later.
It is probable that this undertaking
will be finished by next fall.
The one big advantage of the new
field will be the renewed relationships
with Moline and Peoria on
Kewanee soil, as both of these
teams severed relations because of
the well-worn playground field.
Our sports editor from The
Star-Courier, none other than C.
O. Schlaver, at one game had the
misfortune of having his glasses
knocked from his face as he was
preparing for his write-ups.
The reporters' table this year
was fixed up a bit but we are
looking forward to having a new
press box in the coming years.

WETZEL CAPT.
OF '35 SQUAD
Russell Wetzel:
captain—
the leader of
our team this
year, carried
out his duties
in a great
way. "Russ"
spent four
years on the
K.H.S. teams
and the coaches
respected
him as a willing-,
fighting,
capable, and likeable student. He
was a center during the last two
years and was a regular on the
famous team of '34. Our admiration
goes to "Russ". We know, as
well as do the coaches, that he will
be a hard man to replace as a
fighter in the Boilermaker wall.
Dale Nelson: a
fighting quarterback
who finished
his athletic
career on the
gridiron with a
neat record. During
his first two
years he was a
regular on the
Riveters and the
last two years he
was toting the
ball as a regular
on the Andersoncoached
eleven.
This year Dale was laid up a good
part of the season with sprained
ankles but when active he could
give a good account of himself.
Dean Stoner:
a player
who could be
justly pointed
out as one of
the scrappiest
gridders ever
to don a suit
for the Boilermakers.
In
one instance,
as you recall,
he played a
whole half
with a couple
of broken ribs.
Dean was
one of the fastest men on the team
and always could be relied on to
snag the old pigskin when it was
heaved in his direction. He spent
four years on the Orange and
Black grid teams and last year
was a reserve halfback.
HELSLANDER TO
BE CAPTAIN IN '36
Albert Helslander:
captain
- elect -
the big end
who will lead
the Orange
and Black on
to the field
next year,
played the entire
'35 season,
and take
it from some
of the opposing
linemen,
his big 200 pounds is used to the
fullest extent. "Apples" also was
on the team which made history
at K. H. S.
Keith Vinson:
Keith's determined
type of
play earned him
a regular position
a s fullback.
After laying
off for a
year, since in
his sophomore
year he was a
regular on the
Riveter squad,
h e reported
back for the
varsity and
during the season
he turned
in some good
games. His biggest asset was his
blocking ability. Through the season
Keith proved he was capable
of holding down his position.
Jack Simpson: one of the gamest
of the Boilermakers' forward
wall. Jack was always out there
trying and could be relied on to
put forth plenty of action. He had
hard luck with his bad knee but
was always in there scrapping
when he was able. Jack spent the
biggest part of his school years in
athletic activities.
Fred Shinkevich:
never
before in K.H.
S. history has
a fellow developed
in one
year from just
another "tryout"
to one of
the best triple-threat
men
yet to be found
in Boilermaker
colors.
T h a t's the
opinion given
by many loyal
Orange and
Black backers of "Freddy" Shinkevich.
He was rated as one of
the best runners in the conference
and this being his first season he
played some great games.
Lloyd
B o rkgren:
a fellow
who showed
that he
could really
get serious
when
the proper
time came,
that's
" Porky".
He is one
of the
back field
men on
whom the
coaches will rely for a good part
of the plunging and blocking for
the coming season.
Nick Wykle:
a stalwart
of the
Orange and
Black forward
wall
who will be
back to reenforce
the
line next
year. Cliff
Hyink has
a lad with
plenty o f
fight and
ability i n
Nick and
is relying on him for a lot of service
as he will be one of the experienced
men.
Edward Angelcyk: a veteran at
the guard position who had the
endurance and ability which put
much respect in the minds of his
enemy linemen. "Eddie" was one
of the hardest workers on the
team and he had a style all his
own in mowing down the opposition.

Page 4 THE KEWANITE Section IV
Lettermen
Vernon Reiff: in predicting that
he is capable of taking over the
reins left empty by Captain Russ
Wetzel, the fans are confident
"Vern" can hold down the center
position. He was a utility lineman
this year and his playing as a
guard, with the new blocking type
of play for the linemen, impressed
many. "Vern" played the entire
schedule with the Riveters as center
in his sophomore year,
Clemens Glaski:
one of the
lads who will
make up next year's team. "Clem"
proved himself capable in many
games and during the season he
played a number of different positions.
Cliff Hyink has high hopes
of developing him into a regular
lineman and this coming season
will probably find him in the Boilermaker
forward wall. "Clem" has
been active in football for the last
two years and was a member of
the '34 squad.
Francis Kaine: with the graduating
of a good part of the backfield,
Coach Anderson worked in
a number of underclassmen to fill
these vacancies; among those who
made good was Kaine. Francis
saw plenty of action in the closing
games at the full and quarterback
positions. Being only a sophomore,
he has two more seasons on the
gridiron and should develop into a
reliable backfield man as he is a
good passer and plunger. In his
two years of playing, Kaine was
active in Riveter and varsity football.
Merle Anderson: after breaking
into the backfield, replacing
"Rudy" Millman at the right half
position, Merle showed the fans
some real speed and running ability
and held down his positions in
great fashion. The little miler impressed
the fans as well as the
coaches as he dogged and slammed
his mere 130 pounds through the
burly line of the opposition. Next
year Merle promises to give the
Howard Brockway: "Frosty"
could be qualified as one of the
hardest blockers and tacklers on
the team. He, like many of the
others, was hampered by injuries
during the biggest part of the season.
"Frosty" was the only one to
score in the Moline game and while
he is eligible next year, so will he
hit the age limit about the middle
of the season. He will see plenty
of action.
James Elliott: a red-headed lad
who as a junior showed the necessary
grit to endanger the positions
of many a regular. "Red" Elliott
developed into one of the best
blockers on the squad and this particular
duty will be greatly needed
as the backfield will be somewhat
smaller than last year. "Red" did
not report for duty the first year
but in his sophomore year he came
out during the middle of the season.

Football Season
(Continued)
neeans racked up a touchdown on
two neat passes, Shinkevich to
Stoner, and then Shinkevich to
Anderson. With the ball resting on
the 4 yard stripe, Freddy Shinkevich
plunged over for the first
touchdown. The try for the extra
point was incomplete. The safety
was accounted for after the Islanders
were forced to kick back
of their goal line, and "Apples"
Helslander thundered across the
line and blocked the punt which
hit the canvas.
The final Boilermaker points
were collected after a long pass,
Shinkevich to Stoner, which put
the pigskin on the 5 yard line and
Nelson bucked the line for the
touchdown.
Kewanee 6 East Moline 13
The victory bell failed to gong,
the result was a hard fought victory
for the strong East Moline
eleven and the breaking of the
Boilermakers' long string of victories.
The Orange and Black
gridders showed plenty of drive
and scrap throughout the game,
and at the gun for the end of the
• game the locals had pushed the
j ball to the Hilltoppers' 5 yard line.
The Boilermakers were the first
to draw blood. After a 4 yard gain
on a plunge from the 16 yard line,
Merle Anderson ripped through
tackle and the remaining yards
for the touchdown. The try for the
extra point was unsuccessful.
The East Moline gridders came
right back to knot the count. On
three straight first downs the Tricity
lads went down the field and
then the big fullback Sweat
plunged over on the third try.
The third quarter found the
locals being swept over by forward
laterals. A 30 yard gain by a forward
lateral put the pass on Kewanee's
4 yard marker, and on the
next play Sweat bucked the line
for the winning points. Bunich
kicked the extra point.
Kewanee 7 Moline 38
One of those games which is
hard to believe but must be taken
is one way of describing the
swamping given the Boilermakers
by the heavy Moline Maroons. The
final score, after the combination
of Peterson and Anders were
through with their aerial attack,
stood 38 to 7. At the end of the
first quarter the Senneff-coached
eleven had romped over the Orange
and Black goal line three
times, and at no time during the
game did the Boilermakers appear
to bother the hosts. The saying
that the Kewanee line was out-

SEVEN WIN
MINOR LETTERS
IN FOOTBALL
This year we had seven fellows
who received minor letters in football.
These minor letter winners
were fellows who did not have
enough quarters of service to entitle
them to a big "K". They are
the fellows who, although they did
not shine on the gridiron, helped
develop those who put forth their
stuff. These smaller lads were
among the faithful who reported
for the biggest share of the practices.
Our minor lettermen include:
Stanley Miskinis—a reserve
end who when given the chance
could show the opposition he was
no "dub" at snagging passes;
Orie McCollum—another utility
end who was always ready when
called upon for action; Parker
Worrell—Parker was the big reserve
lineman who could be one
of the toughest fellows in the line
when he got down to business,
the "Warsaw Terror" helped turn
back the Irish in the Corpus
Christi game; John Mikenas—one
of the fellows whom Coach Anderson
is backing for next year's
team, Johnnie showed improvement
as the year progressed and
we are looking forward to seeing
him as a regular for a couple of
years as he is just a sophomore;
John Kubelius—a junior who is
far from being a little fellow and
with some more tutoring by Cliff
should fill up a big hole in the
Boilermaker forward wall on the
team of '36; Edward Schlindwein
—the utility backfield man who
was switched around a good many
times during the season and who,
lacking the weight and being a
senior, was not seen in action a
lot, but was a good man on defense;
Edward Radovich — Eddie
had the role of filling up the center
positions, and had the hard
luck of substituting for the "Iron
Man" Wetzel. He was a senior and
gave valuable assistance in scrimmage.
So as we see it, four of the seven
reserves are graduating and
they will be missed like their fellow
varsity members. As one of
our prominent business men said,
"We should admire the little fellow
who can sit on the bench and come
out and help develop the big boys".
The football record for the
same length of time shows Anderson's
teams have copped 42 gomes,
lost 26 and tied 6.

Golden Gloves
Entering the Golden Gloves
from Kewanee were four members
of Kewanee High. In the 112
pound class was Earl Rosenow, in
the 118 pound class was Ray Anderson,
in the 126 pound class,
Merle Anderson, and in the 135
pound class, Ed Schlindwein. Although
entering only these four
boys, Kewanee made as good a
showing as any other team that
was entered. Out of these four,
two were winners in their respective
divisions and the other two lost
in the quarter-finals.
Our champions are the courageous
little 118 pounder, Ray Anderson,
who defeated Theus of
Schriebrl's Gym and Luther Freeman
of East Moline Athletic club
in the finals. Our other champion
is yours truly, Eddie Schlindwein,
who whipped the dusky Don Nicholson
of East Moline A. A., won
by a K. O. from Chuck Willis of
Schriebrl's Gym. Both of the winners
received bronze gloves as
awards for their divisions and also
a trip to the preliminaries of the
Golden Gloves in Chicago.
The Kewanite staff wishes to
thank Albert Rodak for assisting
them in selling candy and pop at
various times throughout the
year.
RIVETERS
FOOTBALL
The little fellows of Galen Landis
made a great showing for the
'35-'36 season, winning three and
losing three games. On just looking
at this you would probably
say that this was only a fair record,
but you should stop to consider
that when the Riveters play
a game they are really playing
the second teams of the opposing
school while they are practically
the third string team of the Boilermakers.
Some of the players
of the Riveters will make it tough
for the varsity reserves of the
next year. One is Bob Krumtinger,
a sophomore who can run
and pass nicely considering that
he has had but two years of experience.
Bob proved during the
season that he is capable of holding
down one of the ends left
empty by the graduation of the
capable Stoner, but his ability as
a runner may find him in the
backfield. Another end who is an
artist at snagging passes, Phil
Gilfilan, will give plenty of competition
to the other line-men.
Phil is also a soph and under the
tutorship of Galen Landis he has
shown decided improvement.
Coach Anderson will also greet
Don Green, a fellow with plenty
of ability and an ace on defense,
Ralph Nelson, another burly lad
to add to the forward wall, and
Dean Huckins, a husky of about
190 pounds of grit and endurance.
During the '35-'36 season the
Riveters journeyed
to Peoria
Manual where
they lost a
tough 18 to 0
scrap; the Peoria
lads scored
early on the locals
and they
were not able
to break down
the lead.
Then to a mixed varsity and reserve
squad at Wyoming they won
a hard fought 18 to 6 game. The
small lads from Wethersfield were
the next victims of the Landis
coached eleven. Other games
were lost to Pekin, 19 to 0, and
Galesburg, 13 to 7, while winning
the other game from Princeton, 19
to 0.
So during the next year the fellows
who were taught the fundamentals
by Galen Landis will be
promoted to the more responsible
positions on the varsity team.

BOILERMAKERS WIN REGIONAL TOURNEY
TEAM WINS 17
LOSES 9
With a record of 17 wins and 9
losses the Orange and Black closed
their caging schedule. Although
they were not
champions, they
made a good
showing in the
Bloom ington
I n vita tional
Holiday tournament,
winning
their first encounter
with
the Peoria
Manual five, 37
to 17, but dropping
a tough 33
to 29 to Bloomington
High.
In the newly
formed sectional
meet, in
which the I. H. S. A. A. appointed
the Boilermakers the hosts to
eight teams of this vicinity, two
of whom were chosen by the district
at Galva, the Andersonmen
copped the three-day grind and
kept up with the teams of former
years and earned themselves the
right to participate in the sectional
at Moline. As has been
rightly termed the toughest sectional
in the state, the Boilermakers
were unfortunate at drawing
the toughest bracket with teams
like Galesburg, Monmouth, and
East Moline. Although Moline
won their own tournament their
opposition appeared to be easier,
having Fulton, Erie, and Wethersfield
in the other bracket. The
Orange and Black won their first
game in the Moline meet from
Monmouth but lost to East Moline
who had eliminated Galesburg.
As the Boilermakers will lose
all but one of their lettermen, the
coming season will be in doubt.
"Apples" Helslander at the pivot
position will return and with some
promising material from the Reserves,
Coach Anderson's hopes
are increasing.
Another new member of the faculty
this year is Kno I. Tall who
is so intelligent that she can teach
any subject in the curriculum. Her
graduate work at Elmira Tech
has enabled her to give valuable
aid to Mr. Braham. Her picture is
in section two, page seven. We
hope that she will not be with us
again next year.—Joke.
Managers
(Continued from Page 2)
j duty of these lads is the job of
taking the soreness out of the
strained and bruised muscles of
our "heroes" after a hard night
of practice or a tough game. This
year we will lose Jack Ladd, one
of the managers who has been
sticking to the game off and on
for two years. We believe that the
school should pay honor to these
lads as well as the boys in uniform.
During the basketball season we
shout the praise of the fellow who
makes the baskets and the lad who
turns in a sparkling play, but the
little fellows who keep this team
so well equipped and clean are
never given a helping hand, and as
C. O. S. has said, they are "among
the unsung heroes". For our basketball
team we have Lawrence
Talbot, George Bradley, and Bob
Currier checking the equipment
and shining the balls up so that
they look like new. They are the
boys who have given out more
than ten miles of tape and gauze
during the season, and have kept
the "big boys' " muscles in shape.
K. H. S. HOLD
REG. TOURNEY
A new thing in the way of selecting
a team for the sectional
tournament was originated for the
state by the Illinois High School
Athletic Association in the form of
a regional tournament. The idea
of this, as we can see, is to give
the smaller schools of the state a
better chance to perform in the
district. In our case the district
is at Galva. Another benefit will
be better games in the regional,
where all the stronger teams are
represented.
Under the leadership of our
principal, R. M. Robinson, the Kewanee
Regional tournament was
run off in excellent fashion. The
teams participating in the tournament
were the winners at the
Galva district, La Fayette the winner
and Galva the runner-up,
Alpha, Geneseo, Aledo, Wethersfield,
and Kewanee the hosts.
Again the teams of Kewanee
showed their power, and the result
was the settling of the ruboff
game, the city championship,
and the tournament championship

Page 8 THE KEWANITE Section IV
Shinkevich Elected
Honorary Captain
Dale Nelson: A
fellow who during
the '35-'36
season showed
the fans that he
was the marksman
of the Boilermakers.
Recalling
the Sheffield
game—with approximately
two
minutes to play,
Coach Anderson
was holding back
the regular five,
as Coach Ray
Holmes of East Moline was scouting
the game. Dale was given the
nod and when the final gun sounded
he had three baskets to his
credit. Dale has spent four years
on the Orange and Black teams
and he has made a fine showing.
Franklin Wilson:
One of the
fellows who was
outstanding during
the season
and was always
in there plugging
at the basket
with determination
is none other
than our fancy
shot artist,
Frankie Wilson.
Frankie had the
typical Boilermaker
fight
which was present a good many
times during the year. Except
for a few times he was not a high
scorer but when given the chance
he could be depended on to convert
a good per cent of his attempts.
His favorite shot appeared
to be a hook-shot from beneath
the basket. He also could take
care of his share of the defense
work.
Dean Stoner:
After getting
off to a late
start, Dean
made up for the
time he missed
by his hard
driving and
spirited type of
play. The defense
which
Coach Ross Anderson
originated
for the
Orange and
Black needed two fast and
peppy forwards. He found one of
his chasing bulldogs in Stoner, and
as has been previously stated, he
proved to be the gunner and one
of the hot-shots of the team at
the free throw line.
LETTER Wl N N ERS
Freddy Shinkevich:
Through- [
out the entire j
season Freddy
lived up to his
high standard of
basketball and
was picked as
one of the most
valuable players
in the Northwest
conference.. This >
year he was given
honorable
mention on the
all-state teams
picked by Pat
Harmon; he also [
won the miniature
gold basketball for having the
best percentage of free throws for
the season. Fred finished with a
little over .600 per cent.
Russel Wetzel:
Russ started out
good this year
but was handicapped
a great
deal due to the
fact that h i s
style of shooting
was changed
completely a
number of times
during the season.
His smooth
and pleasing
style of playing
at the guard post
made him a handy
man on offense
and an ace
in holding down the high scoring
leaders of the opponents. Russ
spent four seasons on the K. H. S.
basketball teams; he came up
from the Reserves after making
a good showing in '34-'35.
Loran Roush:
"the little terrier",
the name
we usually connect
with our
little speedster
Loran Roush,
was not a bit
overestimated.
You can
find out from
Coach Anderson
it was a difficult
matter to supply
him with a pair
of shoes which
would keep him on his feet. As
you probably noticed he was on
the floor a number of times after
delivering one of his bullet passes
of faking his man out of position.
Loran received this name after
one of the conference games in
which he made it tough sledding
for the hot-shots of the visitors.
Albert Helslander:
This
year "Apples"
finished his second
year as a
regular. He has
a record which
is a real credit
to the school.
Entering K. H.
S. two years
ago, "Apples"
made the team
his first year
out as the regular
center and
continued through the '35-'36 schedule
in the same position. Being
only a junior, "Apples" will be the
only letterman returning for the
Boilermaker five and this puts an
added burden on "Tiny" as he will
lead the Orange and Black.
O r i e McCollum:
during the
first of the season
Orie showed
signs of developing
into a dependable
regular,
but towards the
last of the schedule
he had
trouble with his
shooting eye and
a tough time in .
battling for his *
guard position. In
some of the early games he was a
main cog in the Boilermaker machinery,
and could be relied on in
taming the hot-shots of the Orange
and Black foes. Orie spent three
years on the K. H. S. squads and
in his junior year he was a real
asset to Reserves of Galen Landis.
Stanley Miskin
is: although
"Skinny" did
not start out
the early part
of the schedule
he made up for
what he missed
at the opening
of the season
by turning in
some fine performances
i n
the final conference
games.
In the last engagement
with
the Moline Maroons,
"Skinny"
gave a good account of himself,
but despite his efforts the Orange
and Black dropped a tough 31 to
29 decision to the Moline sectional
champions. In his junior year he
was the hot-shot of the Reserves.

Section IV THE KEWANITE Page 9
MANY PROSPECTS FOR '37 TEAM
The team of '36-'37 will be made up for the most part of the Reserves
of '35-'36 and so we will introduce these fellows. It would be very
hard to pick an outstanding player of the team coached by Galen Landis
because the team was very well balanced. The fellows to earn numerals
were: Lloyd Borkgren—one of the mainstays of the effective defense
Second Row: Faull, Ptasnik, Thompson, Wiley, Coach Landis.
First Row: Schlindwein, Duytschaver, Reiff, Gilfillan, Borkgren, Lay.
employed by the small Boilermakers;
"Porky" specialized in a
push shot from his forehead and
at times was very successful;
Phil Gilfillan—one of the nicest
and most promising players on the
Reserves squad. Phil proved unstopable
in the Sheffield and Rock
Island games, and his way of
twisting and shooting makes him
one of the main cogs of the high
scoring offense; Archie Thompson
—the tallest of the prospects coming
up from the reserves and always
a good rebound man, Archie
found his shooting eye as the
season got under way; Vernon
Reiff—while not a hot shot in scoring,
was always capable of putting
the ball through the old net.
Vern was a teammate of "Porky"
in holding down the high scoring
offense of the visitors; Bob Wiley
—although not with us the whole
season he proved his worth after
his transfer from the large Casper,
Wyoming school. His pleasing
type of play earned him the
right to travel to the sectional
along with Archie Thompson;
Doug Lay—the smallest member
of the squad but he proved his
ability in the relief role and in a
couple of games was an ace on defense;
Bob Chapman—another
substitute who showed signs of
improvement and who will be
bidding for a varsity position next
year.
LARGE SQUAD
OF RIVETERS
The smaller lads of Coach Stevens
were more active than usual
this year. These fellows are the
Riveters, and they played some of
the Reserves' games, this making
their schedule also harder this
year. As a whole their season was
successful with eight wins chalked
up against five losses.
Some remarkable improvement
was shown in the Riveters, and
coming up for Reserve positions
will be such players as: Graham
Mulligan, a center and forward
whose height will be of great benefit;
Nelson, a fellow with a good
eye and an ace on defense; Jack
Schlindwein, another guard who
showed a big improvement during
the season; and "Bus" Johnson,
a speedy little forward with plenty
of shooting ability. "Bluts" Brubaker,
whose speciality is guarding,
will also prove valuable, as
will Gaylord Thompson, a big fellow
who came through the last
of the year.
For part of the season the teams
were divided into freshmen and
sophomores. In the closing games
most of the sophomores were
transferred to the Reserves where
there was a shortage of members
as a result of promoting some of
the reserve squad to the varsity,
so that they could be educated in
year.
Say, Stoner, who is this fellow
Kay Larson goes with? Ask him
to show you the big picture of
Kay in his billfold some day.

K. H. S. HAS PROSPECTS
FOR GOOD TRACK TEAM
Spring Football
April 14—The Boilermakers this
year should have one of the best
track teams in the history of the
school. To back this up you may
notice that we have fellows out
for track this year who were handicapped
in the past by being engaged
in some other sport when
track season rolled around. A
tough schedule will greet the aspirants
and Coach Ed Stevens has
been handicapped by the cold spell
which cut off a good part of the
training season. One meet, the
Peoria Manual indoor meet, was
turned down because of lack of
practice.
The team this year has not been
definitely picked, but the results
of the first meet at Geneseo, in
which the Boilermakers finished
fifth, will give some idea as to the
strength of the Orange and Black.
With twelve teams placing, Galesburg
first with 62 y 2 , Rock Island
second with 43%, East Moline
third with 33, Moline fourth with
26%, and Kewanee fifth with 26
points. Many records fell in this
invitational. Kewanee had the
honor of breaking two of these
records: Merle Anderson clipped
former mile record of 5:03.3 with
a sparkling 4:53.5, and Fred Shinkevich
bettered the high jump record
with his 5 foot 9 inch jump.
Dean Stoner placed fourth in the
same event.
Other Kewanee points were
made by Don Green, who placed
fifth in the mile run, Shinkevich,
who placed third in the shotput.
"Apples" Helslander missed third
place by an eighth of an inch. Our
dash and relay men include Russ
Wetzel, Franklin Wilson, Laurel
Clark, Gene Anderson. Clark is
likely to be the pole vault entry
in the coming meets.
Track Schedule
Announced
April 1—Today the track schedule
for this season was announced
by the athletic department as follows:
April 11—Geneseo Invitational
meet.
April 18—Triangular meet with
Galesburg and Geneseo.
April 25—Bradford relays.
May 2 — Northwest Conference
at Moline.
May 9—District at Rock Island.
May 16—The state meet.
One of the essentials of the football
season is spring football.
Spring football keeps the boys in
shape so that there are not so
many months of loafing between
the seasons, also it gives the players
coming up from the Riveters
the necessary training before the
regular season, which they lack
for varsity positions. In charge
of spring training is Coach Anderson,
with Cliff Hyink and
Galen Landis giving valuable assistance.
While Coach Anderson
has the back field running, passing,
and kicking to develop the
younger players on whom will be
a big burden this coming season,
Cliff Hyink is giving the line a
few lessons in driving the enemy
wall backwards via the big wood
sledge, which you probably have
seen at some time or another.
Galen Landis also has his hands
full with the freshmen of next
year. By the looks of some of
these eighth graders the old saying
that the teams are growing
smaller each year appears to be
just a myth.
Kewanee Gets 4th
at Bradford
Class A
1. Farmington.
2. Peoria Central.
3. Hyde Park (Chicago).
4. Kewanee.
Class B
1. Bradford.
2. Galva.
With 26 schools from all sections
of the state competing the
small Farmington trackmen
walked off with class A honors,
beating Peoria Central by one
point.
Although the Hyde Park men
did not win the meet, they had
some fine athletes, and not until
the last events did the Farmington
lads clinch the win. Clark
Shaughnessey set some kind of an
individual record when he placed
in every one of the individual
events, winning two of them. He
counted 20 points for his team's
total.
For Kewanee, Fred Shinkevich
got second in the high jump, and
Dean Stoner tied for fourth and
fifth. In the shot put Fred annexed
fourth while "Apples" Hel-
MANY REPORT
FOR TRACK
May 22—The Orange and Black
tracksters' schedule for the '36
season was the toughest in years;
for example, the meet at Bradford
in which 26 schools of both class
A and B standing competed.
Schedule:
Geneseo Invitational meet.
Galesburg Triangular with Kewanee-Monmouth.
Bradford relays.
Monmouth - Northwest conference.
District meet at Rock Island.
State meet at University of Illinois,
Champaign.
A lot of new faces were seen
this year on the track team, a few
of whom showed that they had the
ability as runners or weight men.
In the pole vault we had Bob
Klein, Beverly Baker, and Laurel
Clark. Laurel placed second in
this event at the Galesburg meet.
The high jump aspirants were
Fred Shinkevich and Dean Stoner,
both of whom made good in this
division. Also in the weights we
had Shinkevich, "Apples" Helslander,
and small Loran Roush,
the latter hurling the javelin for
the Boilermakers. The distance
runs produced some new and old
members, Merle Anderson, Don
Green, Ray Anderson, Russ Wetzel,
and Ralph Sandberg. The dash
men included Laurel Clark, Bob
Armstrong, John Millman, and
Dean Stoner.
The freshman-sophomore relay
team was composed of Bob Krumtinger,
Francis Kaine, Gaylord
Thompson, Bob Armstrong, and
John Millman.

GOLF TEAM
Apr. 20—Although the air is still
a little bit cool and the wind is
blowing a mighty gale, the fellows
are already knocking the old
white pellet down the fairways.
The reason, as you might guess, is
to get in shape to earn themselves
a position on the Boilermaker golf
team which will enter the district
tournament at Rock Island on
May 2. Just as a fellow on the
football squad looks forward to
the football schedule, in the same
manner does the golfer await the
coming of the warmer weather of
the spring to participate in the
few meets for this sport.
In K. H. S. we have a number
of exceptionally good golfers and
as in the past they always make
a good showing for the school. On
the team this year we have Edmund
(Zimbo) Wysowski, a lad
who has been playing and shooting
with the veterans of Kewanee
for the last few years and has all
the signs of hitting the high spots
in the golfing world. Last year
when a freshman he went to the
state tournament and made a good
showing and this year he has a
good chance of being up with the
leaders if he continues the pace
he has set so far. Another member
of the team is John Pletkovich,
who holds the Midland Coun-

TENNIS TEAM
One of the sports which is rapidly
becoming more and more
popular in high school is tennis.
We have in K. H. S. some promising
young players who have held
a good number of junior titles and
who showed up well in the first
meet of the Northwest Conference.
Our singles players include Phil
Gilfillan, who represented K. H. S.
last year in the conference meet in
which the locals were the hosts to
the other schools, and Phil Hayward,
not a newcomer in the game
and a challenger to Gilfillan for
the right to represent the Boilermakers
as the singles player entered
in the meet on May 2. Our
doubles team went to the state
last year and they will be out to
repeat this. The team of John
Bond and Graham Mulligan swept
aside all opposition in the district
meet last year and they will probably
enter under the Boilermakers'
colors at Princeton on May 2.
The 1936 district tennis tourneys
will be held on Saturday, May 2,
at Princeton. Other districts
where similar tournaments will be
held include Belleville, Bridgeport,
Carbondale, Decatur, Greenville,
Hoopeston, Joliet, Macomb (Academy),
Oak Park, Pekin, Princeton,
Rockford, and Rock Island.

R. M. Robinson carried out his
part of the regional tournament
in excellent fashion, as did all the
rest of the officials of this meet.
Alpha's coach, Dean Robb, declared
that he was highly pleased
with the tournament and thanked
the Kewanee management for the
way it was handled. We consider
this a compliment considering the
loss of Alpha to Wethersfield in
the last second of play as Van
Den Berghe swished the net with
the gun in the air.
The officials of the tournament,
Robb of Princeton and Clark of
Rock Island, carried out the officiating
end of the games very
well. As a result of their good
work Robb was picked to officiate
at the state tournament.
The crowd from Aledo came
with a good spirit and we had a
chance to see one of our old classmates,
Gail Waespe. We are still
wondering how he stood on that
game. And has he got an eye for
"ferns"!
When one Alpha fan was asked
if every one in Alpha came to
the Wethersfield game, he replied,
"Everybody but the mayor and the
town pump."
The excellent crowds at the regional
meet put the Student Council
in fine shape,
The results of the first Northwest
Conference meet were:

First—East Moline, 5 points.
Second—Kewanee, 4 points.
Third—Moline, 3 points.

Basketball
INTRAMURAL SPORTS
Second Row: Wilson, Buntin, Humphrey.
First Row: Faull, Anderson, Brosius.
One form of interest provided
for those who were not active
during football season was the
intra-mural or inter-class basketball.
This year the teams were
very evenly matched and the result
was a close race with the
second senior team winning after
a tough game in the finals with
the other senior section. On the
the winning team were Franklin
Wilson and Robert Humphrey as
forwards, Shannon Buntin at the
pivot position, and Don Faull, Gene
Anderson, and Robert Brosius as
guards. These intra-mural tournaments
under the direction of
Coach Ed Stevens have proved
very interesting during the past
seasons and the enrollment of this
year was far above that of the
previous years.
As a result of the popularity
which these sports have attained
the school authorities will continue
promoting interclass basketball
and baseball. The teams of
the basketball league were formed
by boys appointed by Mr. Stevens
and they were given the choice of
their respective groups. When
one of the teams appeared too
strong they were divided up and in
this way an interesting tournament
was formed instead of the
runaways which were frequent
occurrences during the other
years.
The girls' physical education
classes have proved to be so
popular during the past year
that many of the girls have gone
down to the gym during practically
every study period they have
had. It is seldom that so much
interest is shown in a single subject.
Baseball
One of the most interesting of
the intra-mural tournaments
proved to be the baseball schedule
which was planned by Coach Ed
Stevens for those who were not
out for football or enlisted in some
other school activity which would
interfere with the schedule. The
North Seniors reminded the underclassmen
that they are still the
rulers and walked off with the
championship honors. This tourney
was made up of seven teams.
Here's the way they teamed up:
East Freshmen — Talbot, Currier,
West, Debra, Gibson, Hamilton,
Keeling, and Kwetinski.
Franklin Freshmen — Lepianka,
Segura, Kostenson, Cook, Snider,
Jones, and Kacqaouwicz.
West Freshmen — Schlindwein,
Ward, De Barre, Stoval, Conrady,
Felton, Conver, Urquiza, and
Hicks.
Sophomores — Millman, Ford,
Grothe, Johnson, Hippert, Cain,
Baker, Fred Ptasnik, and S. Johnson.
Juniors—Johnson, Heck, Baker,
Adkins, Greenhagen, Mulligan,
Kwetinski, Seyler, and Bubnick.
South Seniors — G. Anderson,

North Seniors — Roush, Saigh,
Harding, Gamble, Roger, Rodak,
Walt Ptasnik, Willie Ptasnik, Sies,
and Severs.

GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Gym Classes
Interesting
Sept. 13—The gym classes of
'35-'36 today welcomed a new
physical education instructer, Miss
Mihalik, under whose instruction
the classes hope to rapidly advance.
The classes are divided into
freshmen and advanced classes.
The advanced classes are made up
from the sophomores, juniors, and
seniors who are interested in gym
work. The freshmen are divided
into a group by themselves.
Speedball is taken up at the
first of the season. This is a sport
that has the combination of
basketball, football and soccer. It
is a fast moving game and it
teaches team work, sportsmanship,
and fair play.
After it gets too cold the classes
meet in the gym and basketball is
put in progress. This year basketball
is to be made interesting for
every girl. Teams will be chosen
among the students in their gym
classes, which will give every girl
a chance to participate. A small
tournament will be played in class
to find the winning team. The
winning teams of each class will
be entered in a tournament to be
played after school hours.
After the basketball season is
over, which lasts for about six
weeks, apparatus work is taken
up. This is where the sore backs,
sore muscles and sore everything
is obtained. Apparatus work is
very interesting and very good
exercise. It takes in tumbling,
trapeze stunts, vaults over the box
and the horse, and balancing.
Folk dancing is taken up after
basketball. This is always a lot
of fun for they give dances from
every country—Germany, Holland,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Switzerland
and many more are taught.
Tap dancing is also taken up. This
is the time of year when the
graceful people have their chance
to display their talent. Dancing
teaches the students coordination
and gracefulness and develops an
ear for music.
In February it is still cold, so
volley ball is the next thing in
line. The girls find volley ball
a very exciting game and they
also find that it requires much
team work to make it a good
game.
After the volley ball tournament
is played, the gym classes
are again held out of-doors. This

is the season of baseball and
track work. Broadjump, highjump,
relays, dashes, ball throwing
and many other track activities
give the girls a chance for individual
competition. The track
season is ended with the track
meet. Then baseball is taken up
more seriously. The rules and
strikes are taken up for the first
time in the gym. The girls all
enjoy this and hope to keep up
such activity in future years.
And, so, ends the season of gym
activities. The slogan seems to
be—whatever the weather commands,

History establishes that the
Spartans played football before
500 B. C, calling it "Harpaston".
They used no goal posts, a goal
being made by kicking the ball
across the opponent's line. . . .
Pittsburgh was the first large city
to have a professional team. . . .
The small town of Latrobe, Pennsylvania,
however, says Dr. Harry
A. March, called the "Father cf
Pro Football," has the honor of
holding the first professional
match in 1895. . . . Johnny Maulbetsch,
Michigan, probably greatest
plunging fullback of all time,
gained about 350 yards against
Harvard in 1913, but Harvard won
the game 7 to 0.
FROSH GIRLS
REQUIRED TO
TAKE GYM
Every freshman girl is required
to take physical education. A
doctor's permit is the only reason
that some of the freshmen are
unable to participate. The classes
are not only filled with freshmen,
but a good many upper classmen
continue to take this subject.
Gym offers relaxation from the
daily grind of studying. It is fun
and also good experience for every
girl. The out-of-doors work
keeps one in a cheerful disposition
and in good health. The students
also learn good sportsmanship,
fair play and team work. Every
student is given a chance to select
some activity which she may
like better than others.

But some poor fish will always say
"I've heard that joke before."
Yesterday in history class

A couple of wise-cracks,
And would you believe it—
We read the same jokes in Bally
Hoo the week before.
Could it be? Oh, no.
Sherry Welch—Is Miss Harrod
very old ?
John Bond—She must be; I hear
she taught Cicero.
"I certainly am all in", said the

us, but Mary comes back to visit
K. H. S. every now and then.
Hope she will continue to do so.

The interesting assembly given

wanderlusts, Chapman and Brosius.
Miss Ewan—Did you see if the
butcher had pigs' feet?
Miss Urban (after a hard hour's
shopping)—No, I couldn't, he had
his shoes on.
I love little zeros,
So round and so warm,
And 'til my dad sees them
They do me no harm.
—Jack Van Hoose.
Somebody told "Krummie" she
was all wet so she went home
and put on her pumps.
SR.-FROSH RECEPTION
Two of them were gentlemen.
And the third wore a fur coat.
Senior—Is Panky's dad a coal
miner?
Junior—No, he sells Dodges.
Senior—I thought he was because
Leon has so much slack in
his pants.
A woman's way—if at first you
don't succeed cry, cry again.
Bette O'Connor—What do the
boys talk about at your meetings?
Don Faull — Same things the
girls do.
Bette—My, what dirty boys.
UNDISPUTED STATEMENTS:
A one-armed doctor can't feel
his own pulse.
A fellow is pretty dumb if he
can't figure out when his watch
stopped.
Snow always seems deeper to
short people.
Drunk—Is my name Heinz?
Second Drunk—No!
F. Drunk—It ought to be 'cause
I'm pickled.
Two pints make one quart.
One quart makes one wild.
"Aw, go on", said the man as he
tried to put his right foot in the
left shoe.
Vance Kennard please note:
Early to bed,
Early to rise,
And you miss half
Of your high school education.
Brosius—Hey, there!
Huckins—Well, what ya want?
Brosius—Nothing, jess thought
I'd tell you it's only 5 o'clock and
you still have three more hours to
sleep.
Russ Wetzel—Give me a date,
little one.
Freshie — Oh, yes (anxiously),

Heaps.
December 5—Thursday
Did Brosius think it was funny
when seniors in second period
study hall signed a petition
(drawn up by "Einstein" Ladd) to
have his seat moved? Yes. Did
Miss Nobiling? No. Did Brosius
move? Yes. Was it funny? No.

Miss Miller—If I said, "I am

Bright pupil—Pretense.
Betty Jo Saunders — I suppose
you are on the football team?
Lawrence Talbot — Yes, I do
aerial work.
B. Jo Saunders—What is that?
L. Talbot—I blow up the footballs.
Heaps—There is a mosquito on
your nose.
Kirley—Don't be indefinite.
A freshman stood on a burning
deck
But as far as we could learn,
He had no reason much to fear,
He was too green to burn.
I love the pines,
I love the oaks,
But how I hate
"Robbie's" jokes.
Remember
The good old days when
He
Came over to help
Her
With her lessons
And they both studied?
Ed Kazubowski—Where you going?
What are you doing with

Ed Schlindwein—I'm looking for

Why the happy smile and the
blushes on the faces of the boys
today? It must be the ill effects

your step, boys, the girls have it
on you this year.
January 8—Wednesday

Barber—I had to hunt for the

Mother uses cold cream,
Father uses lather,
My girl uses powder,
At least that's what I gather.
Do You Know That—
There are no bones in ice
cream ?
You can't bounce a snowball?
A jellyfish can't wear suspenders
?
Elephants can't be shipped by
parcel post?
It is best not to eat canned corn
without first removing the can?
The stone age was a period when

Miss Fleming (after a lesson on
snow)—As we walk out and look

Kewanee outclassed Galesburg
tonight 23-20. After the game
some of our peppy upperclassmen
went out sliding and had a good

breakdown, especially our
weakest class — the juniors — we
advise that you proceed with caution
in regard to tests, assignments,
etc. in the near future.
(Students, we knew you'd read it.)
January 16—Thursday
We had a very interesting talk
or we might say a general scolding
today by Mr. Seagreaves on
safety driving. Johnny Pletkovich
and "Les" Eastman just literally
"took it all in" (we hope).
January 17—Friday
The half year mark. Time does

Report cards, grades, credits,
etc. The freshmen aren't the only
ones to vow to do better in the
future, for our "mastermind",
Brosius, also takes the solemn
oath.
The valedictorian this year is
i Joyce Hunt, with an average of 94.
There was once a young man
named Van Scoyoc;
He was stung one day by a wasp;
When asked if it hurt,
He replied, "Yes, it does,
But I'm glad it wasn't a hornet."
(Note: The rhyme scheme here i
is A, B, C, D, E.)
Josephine Horner—Joyce! Stop
using such dreadful language!
Joyce Hunt — But, "Skippy",
Shakespeare used it.
Josephine—Well, then don't run
around with him anymore. He's
not a fit companion for you.
Jack Ladd—Why did you give
up taking pipe-organ lessons?
Marjorie Wolters — I felt so
childish playing with my feet.
Mr. Classon—Where did George
Washington die?
Leybourne Buckley — I think it
was on page 199.
Vic Miller (after a strenuous
English exam)—Too bad Milton
wasn't born in London.
Shirley Cotton—Why?
Vic—I said so on that exam.
Buntin — Just to think, every
time I breathe somebody dies.
Wilson—Better try listerine.
Traffic Cop—What's the idea of
stopping the traffic? Why didn't
you use your noodle?
Marian Ewan — I didn't know
the car had one.
Stoner—Do you want to join the I
Salvation Army?
Simpson—Naw! Who are they I
fighting ?
Soph, (running up to the librar-
| ian's desk)—I want the life of
1 Caesar.
Miss Jansky — Sorry, Brutus
beat you to it.
Humphrey says—The most dangerous
curves are those sitting
beside the driver.
Adeline Kaiser—I want a dress
to put on around the house.
Clerk — How large is your
house?
Harvey Winslow—Are you going
to support the Kewanite?
Jane Manthe — Goodness, no!
The Kewanite has a staff.
Bob Armstrong — I work my
geometry problems on tissue
paper.
"Corky" Anderson—How come?
Bob—That's the only way I can
see through them.
W. Mulligan—I want to ask a
question about a tragedy.
Miss Stewart—What is it?
Wiley—What is my grade?
Miss Ewan—Quentin, have you
done your outside reading?
Swede—Naw, it's been too cold.
This year a new volume was
added to our library, "How to be
a bench-warmer", by Lloyd Bork-
The old gray stone by the schoolhouse
The sympathy of the seniors did
rouse,
So they gave it a dress,
Like the night and the day,
And now it is warmer, I guess.
Note—Night, black; day, white.
Black and White are the senior
colors.
Miss Harrod — What's your
name?
Freshie—Jule, teacher.
Miss H.—Don't say Jule, say
Julius. (To next boy)—and your
name?
Another Frosh—Billious, ma'am.

I hear, when they heard
there was school.

Frozen ears and ski pants seem

A beaver was damming a river,
And a guy who'd run out of gas
Was doing the same to his flivver.

She stepped out boldly into the
street,
No rubbers covered her tiny feet,
No umbrella had she—nor coat,
Her new straw hat—well you just
note,
Far be it from her to start complaining;
She didn't get wet—it wasn't raining.
"Corky" Anderson—I just found
my girl out.
Sammy Buntin—Out where?
A powdered nose is no sign of
a clean neck.
"I'm off of you", said the sweet

Did you know you can't sleep on

Early to bed and early to rise—
And your girl goes out with other
guys.
February 3—Monday
Once again Mr. Romack danced
with the girls at social hour. (He
gave them a treat ? ? ?)
February 4—Tuesday
Mr. Braham is surely making a
hit with the girls here lately. Especially
since so many girls have
to bring their lunch now on account
of the cold weather.
February 5—Wednesday
The Kewanite Staff is now trying
to collect the second payment
for the book.
February 6—Thursday
What's happened to all the assemblies
around school? Maybe
they got snowed in, too, do you
s'pose?
7—Friday
One of the hardest fought and
most exciting basketball games of
the season was played with East
Moline, and Kewanee had to admit
defeat. It was a good game,
nevertheless.
February 10—Monday
A little cold.
February 11—Tuesday
Too cold.
February 12—Wednesday
Cold.
February 13—Thursday
School again after a bit of a
vacation. The snow and the cold
does have its good points, so say
the frosh.
February 14—Friday
Of all the cute little notes flying
about today. Cupid must be
working overtime. But, of course,
today is Valentine's day. I wonder
what the freshmen were trying
to hide, but really their blushing
faces told the story. Tsk! Tsk!
February 15—Saturday
Ed and Ray, our Gentlemen of
the Gloves, brought home the
bacon, by winning novice titles in
their respective weights.
ED, TO THE LEFT

February 17—Monday
THE INEVITABLE DAY. Goose
Island defeated Kewanee on their
own floor. It wasn't much of a
victory, 29-28, but a battle from
beginning to end. Did you ever
hear anyone that could yell as
loud and get as red as Kay Larson?
Did you ever know anyone
that could bite her finger nails
like Jayne Wagner? Well, they
did their bit tonight.
More good news floated about
the halls of K. H. S. at 3 o'clock
today. No school for the rest of
the week.
February 24—Monday
Back to school again. My, but
everyone was tickled to get back.
Kewanee came through tonight
with an overwhelming victory
over Monmouth.
February 25—Tuesday
Did you know that the junior
girls are crazy about the boys on
the team this year? Bette O'Connor
is almost beyond control.
P. S.—It's leap year, boys.
February 26—Wednesday
Won't we ever have an assembly?
"It's been so long."
February 27—Thursday
Kewanee came through with
another victory over R. I.
February 28—Friday
Aren't you glad Friday night is
just about here again, girls? It's
a good date night, I guess.
March 2—Monday
Blue Monday? We wonder. It
is a bit quiet and drowsy about
school, maybe spring is here.
March 3—Tuesday
Nice crowd attends the Regional
Tournament here. We hope to
come through on top.
Miss Beadle—Tell me about the
age of Elizabeth.
Berneice Hoppock — She'll be
sixteen next month.
Jane Manthe, with an average
of 93.7, was declared salutatorian.
The other day they shot a dog
in front of the school. About five
minutes later the Tri-Y announced
a hot-dog sale.

FOOTBALL SEASON
(Continued from Page 4, Sec. IV)
weighed 20 pounds to a man is
not a bit exaggerated. In just
comparing the midget Merle Anderson
with the 220-pound Jim
Anders, you can see that the backfield
also could not compare with
the Maroons in weight.
"Frosty" Brockway was the only
Boilermaker to cross the Moline
goal line, this being on a pass from
Freddy Shinkevich in the third
quarter. Several times, however,
the Andersonmen were down within
the shadow of the goal posts
only to see their attempts fail as
a result of a fumble or an intercepted
pass.
Kewanee 19 Monmouth 12
A last half sprint nets the Boilermakers
a 19 to 12 verdict over a
scrappy Monmouth eleven, after
trailing their hosts 12 to 0 at halftime.
The Orange and Black underestimated
the power of Monmouth in
passes and running attacks and in
this form the Monmouth eleven
put the pigskin over the goal line
twice in the first half, once on a
pass from Sheridan the quarterback
to Glen the right end, the
other on a line-play by the smashing
fullback Waddell.
The situation was completely reversed
as the Kewanee eleven
opened the third quarter with a
power drive down the field to the
4 yard line where Kaine plunged
over for the first points and a minute
later Shinkevich passed to Helslander
for the extra point.
Kewarvee 6 Galesburg 7
On a field of slippery mud the
Galesburg eleven proved to be the
better mud hens as they downed
the Boilermakers 7 to 6 in a close
contest. Although the local Orange
and Black, invaders of Lombard
field, were on the long end of the
statistics, they were unable to put
over the disputed extra point which
would have given them a tie for
their final game of the season.
The Burghers chalked up the
first touchdown which came in the
first period after a number of
passes and then from the 13 yard
line, the host's quarterback Ekstrom
threw a pass to left half
Dodd, who went over for a touchdown.
The winning point was put
over by the same combination and
the Burghers took the lead which
was never broken down.
The Boilermakers got within the
vicinity of Galesburg's 20 yard line
but were unable to go further. It
was not until the final canto that
the Orange and Black got started.
With the ball on the 35 yard line,
Bob Good—I bought a new pig
and I named him "Ink".
George Dana—Is he black?
Bob—No.
George—Then why do you call
him "Ink"?
Bob—Well, he's always getting
out of the pen and running all
over.
Miss Knapp—Robert, give me a
simple sentence.
Robert—Thirty days.
Don Blunk—What's 'je ne sais
pas' mean ?
Douglas Lay—I don't know.
Don—You do too, you're always
saying it.
Eastman — Did you fill your
date last night?
Buntin (after a date with D. A.
Kirley)—I hope so. She ate everything
in sight.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
The flames around did roar.
He took a cake of ivory soap
And washed himself ashore.
"You bore me", said the cork
to the corkscrew.
"Never mind", said the corkscrew,
"I've gotten you out of a
pretty tight place."
Dumb—What is it that a man
wears on his head, a Ford cannot
run without, and people use to
tie their shoes?
Dumber—I don't know.
Dumb—A hat, gasoline, and a
shoestring.
Kadd—You are the breath of
my life.
Wolters—Oh, hold your breath a
little while.
J.—I wish I could revise the
alphabet.
M.—Why ?
J.—I'd put U and I closer together.
a plunge netted 2 yards, and then
to end his football career at K. H.
S., Freddy Shinkevich skirted end
and went over the goal line. The
try for the extra point was declared
no good.

PENMANSHIP
"At first I was a mere
nobody—now I am wanted
by seven cities and three
states."
March 4—Wednesday
Kewanee's first step in the
tournament. Defeated Aledo. We
are looking forward to the championship.
Will our hopes be shattered
?
March 5—Thursday
Wethersfield is surely out to
play Kewanee—they took Alpha
and Kewanee defeated Cambridge.
Again we come to battle with our
greatest rival.
March 6—Friday
An interesting assembly is sponsored
through the interests of Macomb
S. T. C. Best of all, Kewanee
came through to win the
Regional Tournament championship
by a 23-13 victory. Greatest
crowd in the history of the gym!
March 9—Monday
Another Monday. Will Mondays
never cease to come? Yesterday
was Sunday, tomorrow will be
Tuesday, but today is blue Monday!
March 10—Tuesday
Ah Sweet Mystery of Life! Or
is it a mystery ? ? Those six weeks
do fly and before we have a
chance to fulfill our promise of
going to do better—but are we to
blame that time marches on?
March 11—Wednesday
From the two additions to fifth
period study hall it seems wars are
raging in our classes. Tony Bubnick
vs. Miss Berg—"Swede"
Johnson vs. Miss Ewan. Won't you
ever grow up, boys?
March 12—Thursday
Surprise! We had an assembly
today to spur the team on to victory
in the sectionals. Last minute
report — Kewanee defeated
Monmouth 38-29.

KEWANEE STREET CARS
Street cars to my estimation are
worse things than horse and buggy
Ẇhen you are riding in a street
car you sometimes have to stand
up or sometimes you can sit it
just depends if there are any seats
left or not.
While riding a street car you
never know when or what is going
to happen to you. While going
down a steep hill you pump up
and down in your seat while the
street car misses half the track
and hits track about four or five
times. You go smoothly for a
while and then pump goes again
and your hat flies out the window.
Oh! My what excitement we are
having this afternoon.
Weel here is a great big fat lady
and she sure takes up the seat,
but she is happy never the less.
My but she sure must like gum
because the fourth stick just went
into her mouth. My heavens
there is a six footer bean pole of
a man. He never even smiled at
that fat lady and I thought they
would make a good match.
Hear comes a man with golf
clubs and he is all set for the big
game of golf. But he has such
funny legs they are just simply
covered with long black hair and
oh! are they ever big; well we will
let him go on to his game.
Isn't this a lonely street, you
can take in all the sights you
wish. Oop, we missed one man.
Oh! boy is he ever cute he is in his
birthday suit. His feet are very
large, his head is over grown, (of
course it must be workage of the
brain.)
Well we shall leave you today
and shall return some rainy day.
Station ZZZ signing off.
—A Soph.
Rev. Wilson—Would you care to
join us in our missionary movement?
Frankie—I'd love to try it! Is it
anything like the fox trot?
Miss Ewan—How would you
punctuate this sentence ? "Hazel,
a pretty girl, was walking down
the street."
Vic Miller—I'd make a dash
after Hazel
Miss Harrod (in Latin)—Translate
this sentence: "Caesar sic
dicit on de cur. Egressi lictem."
Bette O'Connor—Caesar sicked
the kit on the cur. I guess he
licked 'im.
Little Kid—Oh, Ma! baby's gone
and ate all the raisins off the
sticky brown paper.
The thing that worries the boss
most is the number of unemployed
still on the payroll.
Miss Stewart—George, will you
please run up the shade?
George D.—I'm not in very good
training, but I'll try.
Miss Berg—What are those pans
of oil doing in the corner of the
room?
Mr. Braham—I put them there
for the mice. You said it annoyed
you to hear them squeak.
Inquiring reporter—Say, Jonesy,
do you know what gravy is?
B. Jones—I do. Gravy is a dark
brown fluid found on potatoes and
vests.
This is a terrible world — It's
getting so you can't believe half
the lies you hear.
WE THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE
TO KNOW
That 50 per cent of the married
population in Switzerland are women.
That Vance Kennard is a second
Lon Chaney. Hollywood calls you,
Vance.
That it is occasionally warm in
equatorial regions.
That the juniors have Harry
Ries' orchestra (? ?) for their
prom.
That Chicago is larger than
most towns in Illinois.
That future debate teams would
be 100 per cent better if some
good-looking girls would go out
for the squad. (Says "Peely.")
That in almost all parts of the
world they build the coastline
very near to the sea.
That Robbie's office is no longer
on the first floor.
That the ocean has springs in
its bed.
March 13—Friday
Moline was honored with the
presence of half of Kewanee. The
team had to recognize defeat from
East Moline. Say, come to think
of it, how come "Peeley" Hayward's
car was the last to get
back to town tonight?
March 16—Monday
Don't hold your breath — don't
do anything drastic—but, honest,
it happened. What? Why, we had
one of the best social hours this
year over at the boys' gym. Were
you surprised ? Everyone else was,
too.
March 17—Tuesday
Say, there, did you know that
Eleanor Alderman and Ray Anderson
are "going strong" ? Yes,
Eleanor has definitely made up
her mind to go in for the athletic
type.
March 18—Wednesday
Flash! Seniors are trying out
for the class play, which will undoubtedly
be the greatest production
of the year.
March 19—Thursday
John Marshall Heaps asked us
to put his name in here. Have we
forgotten it? Oh! well, here it is.
He's the boy who "blows thru
here" to the accompaniment of
that Szabo lad, Donald.
March 20—Friday
Another day has passed and
again history was made. The Kewanite
dance was a splendid success
and we sincerely hope that
next year's dance will produce
similar results.
Brosius—Flat tire, mister?
Angry Man—No! I'm collecting
some nuts for a fruit cake.
Li'l pickaninny,
Looks just like his poppy;
Don't know what to call him,

March 23—Monday
Spring is here! At least everyone
has the fever. Another social
hour over at the gym with music
by Everett Ford's band. Don't you
like those three little ladies in
black and white who play in the
orchestra? We do!
March 24—Tuesday
Spring is surely bringing the romances
into full bloom, especially
the Nelson-Reed affair.
March 25—Wednesday
If you hear any tall stories
around school, you'll know that
they picked them up from Channing
Beebe, the African explorer,
who spoke to us. His stories were
true though, 'cause several boys
went about checking up on them.
March 26—Thursday
Lost and Pound: Some Tri-Y
notes. The girls seem to be having
lots of fun writing to their
friends, known and unknown. We
wonder who "Winnie, Winnie,
Winnie',, "Goo", "Stoogy",
"Lethe", etc. are?
March 27—Friday
Our Debate teams journeyed to
Macomb today (to debate).
A packed house witnessed the
splendid production of "Oh Doctor!"
We always did think David
Ericson would make a wonderful
preacher, but now ? ?
March 30—Monday
Don't fall overhead or something
'cause the Kewanite staff
couldn't possibly stand the expenses,
but really and truly we had
another social hour. Wasn't that
grand! We're glad to see the
"freshies" enjoying themselves at
these affairs—also Mr. Romack.
March 31—Tuesday
"Ah, sweet mystery of life, at
last I've found you." Those were
the words that Dale Nelson has
been singing these past few spring
days.
April 1—Wednesday
Is today April Fool's day ? We
wonder. Where did Miss Miller,
Humphrey, Ericson and the rest oi
them get all the good candy anyway?
April 2—Thursday
Wanted: Someone with a piece
of cheese to catch the "wild" animals
running around loose in second
period study hall. I don't think
they're fed very well. For shame!
A LITTLE SCOTCH
Did you know
about the Scotchman
who—
a. Took out
fire insurance on
a ton of coal?
b. Sued the
world series winners
for a million
dollars? (He
cheered too
violently and fell
out of a tree.)
c. Tried to col-
1 e c t damages
from the board
o f education ?
(He lost his pencil
in the school pencil sharpener.)
d. Tried to commit suicide so
his children could attend the orphans'
picnic?
e. Opened his pocketbook on
Christmas and a June bug jumped
out?
f. Who fried his bacon in lux
to keep it from shinking?
g.—Went to the theatre and
died—the high altitude got him?
h.—Went to summer school so
he wouldn't have to spend his vacation
?

Though funny they may be,
I beg you please do not laugh.

To them our best wishes go,
Their work will last for generations.

April 4—Saturday
We must include this date for it

Yes, the basketball banquet. Congrats,

April 6—Monday
Everyone is talking about the

banquet. By the way, Mayhew,
wasn't the floor slippery
though? Stop laughing, Kirley,
you thought so, too.

on the Central school grounds for
the approaching meet.

Would you believe it? We had
an assembly. Did somebody lie?
Did someone commit suicide? No.
(But maybe some should.)
April 10—Friday
We took a day off to get our
Easter outfits ready. You should
see the "bouquet" of carrots,
pimentoes, onions, etc., that Dorothy
Ann will wear on her new
brown suit. Oh! My!
April 12—Sunday
Wait a minute! I must include
this date. Easter Sunday and the
Tri-Y and Hi-Y attended the services
at the Methodist Church at
5:45 a. m. "Bunny" went home and
slept afterwards. He couldn't take
it!
April 13—Monday
We had school closed today to
prepare ourselves for the Easter
Monday Ball—or did we?

April 14—Tuesday
Guess maybe we crossed our
bridges before we came to them.
We haven't had any school for the
past four days but only two of
them were school days. But why
moan?
April 15—Wednesday
"Bob" and "Les" crashed
through today and "Viv" and
"Gen" got their prom dates. Boy!
were they worried for a while!
April 16—Thursday
Just another day, but not in the
life of Adeline Kaiser. She was
the recipient of another of Elmer's
letters. Deah! Deah!
April 17—Friday
The Dance Drama came through
with a bang! Hats off to Miss
Mihalik who is off to success in
her first year. Geofrey O'Hara,
the song writer, was here today
and told us all about music.

G. Atkinson—Only one good cry.

"No!" she snapped.
"Or a Eugene Field?"
"No, we ain't and what's more

Boy, are we ever getting the

The senior class play, "Applesauce"
was a wow! Don't Jack

You know we all think Jack Marlow
is a cute boy, even Miss Miller
told me so "in secret".
May 4—Monday
The Big Track meet at Monmouth
Saturday. Kewanee came
through fine. We knew you'd do
it, boys. Say, you know Merle
Anderson ran so fast in one event
that the timer had only finished

The prom at last! And what a

Tears of bereavement for the loss
of the seniors were shed today by

May 18—Monday
Lost: The sophistication, dignity,
and brains of K. H. S. We
thought the juniors might be able
to supply these little characteristics,
but it's hopeless.
May 19—Tuesday
Did you notice the tired look on
the teachers' faces today? It's because
of the terrible strain since
the departure of the seniors.
May 20—Wednesday
Class Night. You underclassmen
are surely lucky to have the
brilliant talents of the seniors bequeathed
to you.
May 21—Thursday
No school. Teachers are making
out our report cards for the
last time. Whoopee!!! Can you
believe it ? ? ? I made five dollars
($5.00) putting people's names

you, next year's calendar editor.

The work is finished, the books

BITS ON SENIOR PLAY
"Mer" Millman was heard to
say just before the play started
that he wasn't nervous because he
had been nervous all week and
was getting used to it.
Several of the actors had their
make-up put on by Mrs. Kaiser,
who used her new make-up kit.
Mr. Kaiser gave it to her for her
birthday, and Mrs. Kaiser says
that she is going to present "Al"
with some lace curtains for Christmas
"Heinie" Gamble, the one who
did most of what goes on behind
the scenes, furnished a genuine
flask at the last minute for Marlow
to use. Mr. Gamble stated
that this article is not for use—
just for decoration.
One member of the cast did not
appear at all in the third act.
This made it very convenient during
practice, as it gave him about
an hour off and it only takes about
two minutes to walk through West
Park.
The hero of the play was Jack
Marlow, in more ways than one.
In the final scene, Iris couldn't remember
one of her lines and Jack,
having nothing else to do, was
forced to eat one of the wellcharred
and highly indigestible
biscuits.
We had Mr. Kaiser's inventive
genius to thank for the smokescreen
effect which accompanied
the burning biscuits in the senior
class play. Business manager Ladd
had another theory, but it didn't
work this time.

THE GREAT AMERICAN
TRAGEDY
She seated herself carefully on
the cushioned seat. Her trim little
foot was placed on the pedal.
With a cough and a sputter the
motor started. She was off—but
to what kind of a start? She
focused her eyes carefully ahead.
Oh! she was nearing the first corner.
Would she make it? Success
was hers. She pressed her foot
harder upon the pedal and the
machine went full speed ahead.
Nervous fears crept through her
system as she raced along. For
one moment her eyes strayed to
the left side, then back again. A
misfortune! She was nearing the
edge and a sharp corner was just
ahead. Could she right herself?
With a quick jerk she was able to
gain control of her machine. Again
she raced on—the pedal almost
touching the floor. Trouble again!
Nearer and nearer to the edge
she came. What would happen
this time ? ? Off the edge the mechine
went. With a cry and a
groan she arose from her seat.
She would never be able to run an
electric sewing machine correctly.

ROMANCE A LA MODERNE
They were seated on the studio
couch. He nestled closely beside
her. He gazed earnestly into her
face and then slid into her lap.
She was not surprised for this had
happened many times before. She
patted his head tenderly, a token
of love which he seemed to appreciate.
He again looked longingly
into her eyes as if he were searching
for courage. Suddenly he
raised his head and gave her a
very peculiar kiss on her right
cheek. Dogs can be so affectionate
at times.
We suggest the following substitutes
for the words "I don't
know", so that the classroom discussions
will be a little more
varied:
Non scio.
It is little that I know concerning
the material being discussed.
The matter in question is entirely
beyond the feeble scope of
my knowledge.
I am not acquainted with the
proper response to that interrogation.
A FIVE CENT EXPERIMENT
He sat down in front of her. He
looked longingly at her, then
gazed cautiously about him. He
sighed. With a slight jangling motion
he pulled up his right coat
sleeve. He smiled and then
coughed a little cough. He began
to draw himself closer to her. He
was a bit excited and a bit nervous.
He puckered his mouth as he
came closer and closer. Would he
succeed ? At last his lips reached
their destination. He strained
every muscle as he began his task.
My, but it was hard work for a
small boy to drink strawberry pop
through a straw.
P. S.—It was a Lily straw.
It Was a Cold Winter
This season the Reserves copped
ten contests while losing but five,
and in the newly formed sophomore
conference for the Northwest
conference schools they had an
even .500 average with four wins
and four losses.
It has been some years since
we have had girls taking places
in debate. This year, as you have
probably noticed, there were two
girls, one on the affirmative and
one on the negative. Good work,
girls!
Up to the latter part of April
there were 655 detention slips
given by the faculty. Miss Savage
heads the list with 102 slips (15%
of the total) to her credit. Second
prize goes to Miss Beadle with 76.
Miss Nobiling has given 68. The
consolation prizes go to Miss Ewan
and Mr. Classon with only 5 slips.
There are 51 steps between the
first and third floors. Therefore,
if Apps (weight 210 pounds) in
the first floor should decide to see
Virginia on the third floor, it
would cost him about 6250 foot
pounds of energy. If he was in a
hurry and made it in 20 seconds,
he would develop % horse-power.
It must be great to be in love.
Band or Mulligan?
Believe it or not, John Herbert
Ladd had to overcome the dairyman
from Annawan in order to
get a date for the '36 prom.
They tell us "Coach" and
"Cliff" were frequent visitors this
year to the University of Illinois
where they paid their respects to
dear old Theta Chi fraternity.
They were always well taken care
of by Paul Larson and Dick Taylor,
two of last year's graduates
and pledges of the organization.
We hear that "Cliff" is well
thought of by this group for he
really brought them some worthwhile
honors in his college days.
The coast to coast first prize
popular song of today, "Show Me
the Way to Go Home," was not
in this year's operetta.

SENIOR MOTTO
Don't study when you're tired
Or have anything else to do;
Don't study when you're happy,
For that will make you blue.
Don't study in the daytime
And don't study at night,
But study all the other time
With all your main and might.
"I'll never get over this," said
the chicken as she walked up to
the ostrich egg.
Kazubowski—What do you mean
by telling Marian I'm a fool ?
Vance—I'm sorry, Eddie — I
didn't know it was a secret.
Mr. Classon—Did any member
of your family make a brilliant
marriage ?
Mr. Stevens—My wife did.
Mrs. Millman — What does the
clock say?
"Rudy" (coming in at 2 a. m.) —
It shays "tick-tock" and the doggies
shay "bow-wow" and the little
pushy cats shay "meow-meow."
He—When I was a small boy I
was left an orphan.
She—What did you do with it ?
"Stevie"—You can't sleep in
class.
Worrell—If you'd talk a little
lower I could.
Jailer (to prisoner awaiting execution)—You
have an hour of
grace.
Prisoner—O. K. Bring her in.
Mr. Romack—What raw materials
are imported from France?
Pupil—Books and plays.
Voice of Young Lady (from operating
room)—Cut it out! Cut it
out! Cut it out! Stop!
Life is one darn thing after another,
and love is two darn things
after each other.
Dale (in clinch)—I thought I
heard something break.
Virginia—Oh, never mind; that
was just my promise to mother.
Johnny P.—May I call this evening?
Lois—Oh, I'd be tickled.
Johnny—I'm not that kind of a
boy.
No matter how hungry a horse
gets, he will not eat a bit.
Raphael Schlindwein — Father,
can you sign your name without
looking ?
Mr. S.— Yes, indeed.
Raphael—Well, then try it on
my report card.
Undertaker—He was surely a
far sighted man.
Bill—How come ?
Undertaker—He put a fire extinguisher
in his coffin.
Late to bed
And early to rise,
Keeps the "dear brother"
From wearing your ties.
The Pants That Failed
Sir Lancelot in days of old,
Wore armor made of steel,
And everywhere that knight did go
Right noble did he feel.
He was invited into court
To dine with Lady Hausess;
He spilled some water on his suit,
And rusted his best trousers.
"I haven't the heart to take it,"
said the bridge fiend, as he discarded
a club
We might call Maurine Fields
"the girl of charm" for she certainly
has made a hit with students
and faculty alike. Mr.
Bruner "set them up" for "Mo"
and the BF at the Kewanite Benefit
dance to show his appreciation
of the exhibition dancing they were
doing.
We thought you'd like to know:
That wedding bells will ring in
June for Betty Boning and Dwen
Freeburg. Next year will find
them living one block south of the
school on Elm street.
That four leaf clovers are rather
rare.
That Inez Norine received a
diamond.
Jobs We Would Like to Have
After Graduation
Floor man in a telephone booth.
Window cleaner in a coal mine.
Dressmaker for the Follies.
Curtain puller in an amphitheatre.
Let This Be a Lesson to You, Lester.

THE CLASS OF 1936
As Freshmen we entered in "Thirty-Two,"
Not knowing what we were expected to do;
We acted like caged monkeys in a zoo,
For it was to us so strange and new.
But it was not long before a few
Took up their tasks and forgot to be blue,
Soon the best were enjoying it too!
When school opened again in "Thirty-Three,"
Back we came like monkeys to a tree;
It was our Sophomore year, so you see,
We were very happy and carefree.
School after all did not seem to be
The villian who would always disagree.
That year will always be a fond memory!
The best was yet to come in "Thirty-Four,"
So with a mighty whoop and roar we tore
Up the steps and through the door—
The monkeys were back again for more.
For school to us was never a bore,
We were more than willing to do our chore,
Never were there Juniors like us before!
And again when "Thirty-Five" came in sight
We monkeys rushed back to finish the fight.
As Seniors we showed the world who was bright,
We worked at our tasks with all our might.
And now ahead our future shines bright.
Our high school days are a fading light—
Our day is over, here comes the night.
But behind us we leave OUR Kewanite!
—"Mer" Millman.
THE KEWANITE STAFF
I have a story about to unfold,
(Keep this book and you'll never grow old)
Of the Kewanite staff of "Thirty Six",
Which fights to the finish and never kicks.
The editor Humphrey, his first name is "Bob",
He runs to his office to get on the job.
Dana the assistant comes next in line,
Who there with Bob spends most of his time.
And Einstein in business who calls himself "Ladd,"
He tears thru the halls, you'd think he was mad.
To his assistant Phil: "Hey, don't look so proud,
You're not the only blonde in the crowd."
To sell the people this wonderful book
Is Pauline's job by hook or by crook.
Frankie Wilson of the varsity five,
Sponsorship editing is his main drive.
Dorothy Ann Kirley, the talk of the town,
Writes in this book the humor she found.
And Mary Ann Balses, a pretty miss,
Activities she writes with the twist of her wrist.
Harry the Prince he is in his art
Aided by Lois from the very first start.
Together they add to the Kewanite book
A great many things with the pains they took.
The high class stuff called society is wrote
By Rosemary Zeglis but not in a boat.
That wonderful calendar, isn't it fine?
It's written by Genevieve to the last line.
Of sports and heroes all is told
By "One Punch Schlindein", in the ring so bold
The photographer Harding, a little tot,
Is always there right on the spot.
To Misses Miller and Gibson we give all our thanks,
Who helped so well to fill in our blanks.
Our principal "Robbie" wrote on this spot
By all of the seniors will not be forgot.
LOVELESS LOVE
The two sat on the sofa,
A little ways apart;
The boy thought he was snappy,
The girl—that she had art.
He had been calling steady;
She hadn't said the word,
So he just sat and waited,
And very seldom stirred.
At last he got up courage
To kneel on bended knee;
"Whom do you like, my dear,"
He said, "er—next to me?"
She looked him over coolly,
And laid him on the shelf
By saying, sweetly and coyly,
"Anyone—besides myself."
My story is over, all I ask of you
Is to give the credit where credit is due;
To this wonderful staff who did so fine
To make this Kewanite the best of all TIMES.
ODD POETRY
When you first looked
At this group of words
You may possibly have
Thought it was poetry.
But it is fairly certain
That by this time
You have completely
Changed your mind.
Isn't it funny how people
Will keep right on
When they know very well
They are being fooled?
—Gene Anderson.

Page 22 THE KEWANITE Section V
More Poetry/"
Forth-with the gallant Eastman left;
He climbed behind the wheel;
He started eighty horses deft;
'Twas power he loved to feel.
He roared away into the night
As Gennie waved her hand;
And in his eyes was but one sight—
Her deep blue eyes so grand.
THE SCHOOL OF SIXTY-NINE
Let us try to imagine back in sixty-nine,
When the school bells weren't ringing to assure
us of the time,
You had to start at seven to reach the school at eight.
There was no school bus either to keep you from
being late.
Now the teacher wasn't handsome like our teachers of
today
Who greet you with a smile that makes your work
a play,
His dress was very common and a style of long ago.
Which did not seem to be a modern fashion show.
Those rough old logs did represent, a seat
With such a lack of comfort nothing could compete,
Many were the children whose Sunday clothes were
tore
Because they merely moved to release the burden
which they bore.
Now last of all but not the least
The hickory stick—a wand of peace,
So different from the detention slip which gladly
takes its place,
And gives an hour longer to visit face to face.
—Emerance Adams.
'SNO FUN
Gennie liked a brawny blond,
Who drove a Ford V 8;
While riding, sure, her friend was fond
Of setting a swift gait.
One night quite late (it comes to me)
He wooed her at her home.
"Without you dear my heart would be
Like beer without the foam."
'Twas thus Les spake to Gennie A.
Could this be really love?
Young Les to this would answer yea,
And so would his fair dove.
"Alas my love it is so late
I really must retire;
For father would not let us date
Were I to rouse his ire."
"Perhaps some day I'll get right brave,
And ask of him your hand;
Until then I must try to save
Enough to buy some land."
This night, it seems, his thoughts were not
Upon the icy street.
The weather cold disturbed him not:
—Thought he of Gennie sweet.
Content she was and innocent,
For she could not foresee
That there might be an accident
And Les would be fe'ffee.
Young Les was not the least bit tired
Although 'twas three A. M.;
His heart with love for Gen' was fired:
"Those eyes—quite like a gem."
It's plain that Les was drunk with love.
Oh fiddlesticks! Oh my!
He gave the speed guage such a shove
It reached a point too high.
He did not hear the train draw near
Until he reached the track;
Brave Eastman felt no pangs of fear
Nor did he turn his back.
The watchman dropped the crossing gate
The train was fast upon him.
He thought, perhaps, "It's not too late!
If I can only warn him."
The squeal of brakes! the snap of wood!
His brakes, they would not hold!
The icy street! That's not so good!
Dead bodies soon grow cold.
That Eastman bright, he used his brain
His gas he opened wide.
If his plan failed his blood would rain
And Gen' would ne'er be bride.
The motor missed but did not fail
And Eastman pushed it hard.
If only he could cross the rail
Before he looked like lard.
The train came on at sixty per;
Would it desmember Les?
Would much be left to be interred?
The street would be a mess.
The train was close, he dared not look!
And then he heaved a sigh.
'Twas just like in a story book
The hero did not die.
The moral of this ballad is
As every girl should know
To let your boy friend stay all night.
If it should rain or snow.
—Jack Ladd.
