To broader pathways marked for us by fate's decree,
We'll bravely leave the past and follow destiny.
Chorus.
Oh my dear High School we are leaving you,
And it grieves us to think we must go,
We'll cause you no shame but will bring you fame,
As we always have done, and you know
We'll have memories fair of honors rare,
Won 'neath banners of white and green,
Then with hearts sincere let us give one cheer
For the class of 1913.

No more the bells will summon us adown thy halls,
No more our voices echo back from thy old walls,
With blessings and with much regret,
We give thee o'er to Junior wise.
And Freshmen shy and gay Sophomore.

Greetings
In behalf of the class of 1913 the Annual
Board presents the eighth volume for the sympa-
thetic consideration of the public. In this we
have tried to set forth a true conception of our
school life, both serious and otherwise.
Realizing that we are all subject to error, we
ask that you be considerate in your criticism.

To Mr. Roy Love
Who has been our adviser and a firm friend of
the class, we respectfully dedicate this volume

A
GREAT historical event took place in the year of
our Lord 1909, when one hundred and ten students
forming "The Class of 1913" entered Kewanee High
School. No doubt we looked like the average bunch of
Freshmen, rather green and unpromising. We thought
it advisable to select colors that would match ourselves
so chose green and white, and for a moto "Nihil est sine
labore." We were a very industrious and ambitious class,
so under the influence of the latter we have lost our
verdant color. But for the sake of the old days we still
retain the green and white, and the motto which has
helped to place us where we are.
As the calm majesty of a mountain is undisturbed by
the admiration it excites, so were we in the first two years
of our High School course. The stars we placed in the
athletical world excited enviable admiration, and all wondered
alike over the little marks the teachers attached to
our report cards, but for all this we went our way undisturbed.
After two years of hard work we entered upon our
third or Junior year. Able men were selected to act as
our officers, and under their leadership we drew nearer
the front. Two pennants were won in track. Carroll,
Dexter, Lilly and Bannister from the class of 1913 furnished
the backbone, of the football team, and Carroll.
Blake and Lilly were leaders in basket-ball. Hazelle
Owens from our class represented Kewanee High at the
Big Eight Girls Delamatory. The play given by the class
far excelled any play ever given by a Junior Class before.
And the Junior-Senior Reception was one of the most
successful social functions ever held in the school. The
reception was typical of our class parties, they also were
novel and enjoyable.
At last in the fall of the year 1912, we entered upon
the crowning year of our labors. This year we are again
leaders in field and platform. Football has been a decided
success this year through the efforts of the boys of
SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
28
'"13." So for two years our class has furnished State
Championship material for the football team. Also the
work done by the Senior boys on the basket-ball floor this
year was more than noteworthy. The girls too, have
made some progress in basket-ball, although not allowed
to represent the school in any basket-ball battles. Class
1913 has produced some brilliant orators, doing particularly
well in debate. Philip Carroll represented Kewanee
at the Big Eight Boys Declamatory and brought home
goodly honors. At this time the choosing of the candidate
for Girls Declamatory, the Class play, and the publication
of the Annual are yet to come, but with the past
record of this class there is but one prophecy—1913 will
succeed.
In this short space allotted me to expound the worries,
hopes and achievements of the class "1913," I have
endeavored to give you a fair understanding of w r hat we
have accomplished; and to you the under classmen and
others who read of our brilliant successes, and in reading
of them may despair of ever reaching our high point of
perfection, let me tell you not to fall by the way-side, but
work and strive like we did and you too will succeed for
"Nihil est sine labore."

Valedictorian
anb
Salutatorian
Esther MacDonald Dorothy Jones
Esther McDonald, of the Senior class, has won for
herself the honor of being valedictorian, having attained
the highest average grade of any of the Class of 1913.
Her work in the languages has been particularly strong,
and, though a couple of 97s shine out brightly, her lan-
guage work throughout has been constantly high grade.
The Senior class and her friends in high school are con-
gratulating Miss McDonald on this honor. Miss Mc-
Donald's average for the four years was 93.86. By at-
taining this grade she has not only been honored as vale-
29
dictorian, but has even passed the standing of some of the
valedictorians of previous years.
The honor of salutatorian of the Class of 1913 has
been gained by Dorothy Jones, with a standing of 92.28.
Dorothy, also, has a splendid record in the languages, and
moreover has been a strong commercial student. She has
attained this high stand at the same time that she em-
braced a broad course and took part in such variety of
high school activities, which is a splendid accomplish-
ment.

Junior Epic
To sing- heroic deeds I tune my lyre,
To nerve the Freshman and the Soph's inspire.
I sing- of one brave body of mere mortals,
Who after stepping- once within the portals
Of the glorious K. H. S., have made a name,
One which none other equals in its fame.
Moreover this great name they well deserve
For never did they from the straight path swerve,
In all things have they shown themselves right glorious,
In battles they have ever been victorious,
And while opponents have their fate bewailed,
We 14's have been as heroes hailed!
I've started out in true Homeric fashion,
And imitating Pope with me's a passion.
Yet after all I sing no Greek with mystery.
I am merely writing Junior history.
And now we're down to earth we'll intermingle,
Among the high brow lingo some real jingle.
Altho' I must confess it is a crime
To call the stuff you're reading, fair one, rhyme.
We entered high school just about as green
As any bunch of Freshmen ever seen,
There're plenty whose perception is much keener,
We'll testify we were a little greener.
But we most speedily our new role learned,
Indeed, all things about us soon discerned
And so, quite soon, so very much we knew
No longer could "oiks spot us by our hue.
That Freshman year was one of great renown,
Our deeds were noised loud about the town.
There's no need telling what you've surely heard,
That year's achievement needs no further word.
So I pass quickly on and memories shun,
Of that time ere we sat in eight and one.
And modesty (?) demands that I refrain
From stating just what was the High School's gain

By having our good class among its four. f
For one brief year, best peace! I say no more.
Our Sophomore year to do great deeds we yearned,
We did the deeds and praise and honor earned.
We studied some and played a whole lot more.
We made home runs and touchdowns neat galore,
The foe when seeing our men on the field
Deplored their lot, well knowing they must yield.
And now heroic couplet's getting old,
So I will change the metre (?) just a trifle.
As plodding, slow monotony I'm told
Will anyone's poetic (?) instinct stifle.
At any rate we've reached our Junior year,
When things inevitably go much faster.
I meet some friend upon the street, some dear!
But with a quick, curt nod I hurry past her.
For Juniors are so busy, why indeed
They have no time to waste in social chatter.
They loose the brakes and put on top-notch speed
And hasten, hurry, hustle, all with clatter!
What is there to show for our fussing and flurry?
What can we do, do you ask?
What have we gained in our swift, head-long hurry?
Snatch r rom your eyes the dark mask!
Freshies, has everything been so mystic?
Have the Sophs been too slow to care?
Have the wise old Seniors been so egotistic
They don't know the Juniors are here?
We've enlivened Delphi, the Tiger made new,
We've created good spirit, real pep,
We've done all those things which a great class can do,
We've reached our ideal step by step.
If you're looking for anything good, come to us,
For we will supply every need.
We find what you want without making a fuss,
Oh! A very fine class, indeed!
If it's students you wish, there's Nellie and Fred,
Whose cards are always marked "E."
You're fond of music, piano you said?
32
We cite you to Marjorie.
Or perhaps a debater you seek.
Max and Sandford excel,
They've made the Seniors meek.
For twice they defeated them well.
Now some folks enjoy a reading,
Adele and Gladys are splendid.
If real entertainment you're needing,
They present the best thing ere attended.
Suppose you're inclined to be gay,
We've numerous belles of society.
"Are the girls good looking?" you say,
Of beauties we have a variety.
Oh, yes, in Rurick we find
An eminent writer of prose ;
Knowledge of any old kind,
Prince, our book-worm knows.
The orchestra never could play
Without Helen and Leslie and Ruth.
They're the best in the crowd, any day.
Tip top musicians, in truth.
For folks who are witty and quick.
People who 're generally able.
There's Dean and Lois and Chick,
Ryan and Heise and Mer cable.
I haven't the time to tell
Of Myers, our electrical shark,
But, indeed, we wish him well,
Knowing he'll make his mark.
And there are numerous others,
Whom I cannot here mention,
Kind sisters, loving brothers,
Who'd surely attract your attention.
Tho' we've already done great things,
We promise you more next year.
But at this moment, the whole world sings,
Look! Listen! The Juniors are here.
L. J. C, '14.

H URRAH
SOPH. HISTORY
for one of the best classes ever registered
in the Kewanee High School. This fact seemed
appreciated the very first day we entered in 1911, for the
venerable auditorium ceiling which had heretofore protected
all students with such dignity, after looking us
over, deemed himself unfit for further duty and resigned
his position that night. But since this is such a great
class, it is evident that the task of chronicling its exploits
and activities will be a correspondingly great one. All
the sweet things left unsaid about it can be taken for
granted.
Having made ourselves at home, football first took
our attention. Coach Hamilton always has had a warm
spot in his heart for Freshmen and when we sallied forth
to watch that famous 1911 team go marching from victory
to victory, we were proud to say that at least four of
our classmates were on the team.
In the meantime we were daily dosed with a compound
guaranteed to cure greenness as well as to keep
the hair from falling out. Analized, its ingredients are
readily recognized as Algebra, English, Latin, stonepainting
and so on. By this time we had also held a class
meeting. Officers having been elected, colors and motto
chosen, the full importance of our position in High
School life settled upon us.
Basket ball was next in line. In this, however, we
did nothing dazzling, other than to keep our eyes and
ears open and learn a few tricks with which to startle the
natives next year. In track we showed up strongly, especially
in the class meets.
All the world knew our colors were maroon and
white when declaimed by the "stone," the sidewalks, and
telephone poles. The sidewalks, however, were not supposed
to declaim, as five sad boys on their knees with a
pail and scrub brush found out afterward.

W
FRESHMEN HISTORY
ELL, here we are eighty-four strong, the Freshmen
class of 1916, all ready for work that lies
before us. The Seniors call us "Freshies" and "Greenies"
but these names do not affect us as we have the consolation
of knowing others have had to come through the
same trials and tribulations.
As was the experience of others before us, the first
day of school was worst of all. The Juniors and Seniors
and Sophomores knew that the Bulletin Board was the
Bureau of Information in regard to classes and rooms ;
but we, bashful Freshmen, stood in a corner until some
sympathetic friend told us where to go. Of course we
wandered around and got into wrong rooms, and had
to back out blushing amid the laughs and jeers of our
upper classmates.
We have had several class meetings which I must
confess were not conducted according to Robert's "Rules
of Order." The following officers have been chosen to
superintend the affairs of our class for this year:
President, Stanley Anderson; Vice President, Hazel
Eberle; Secretary, Charles Philbrook; Treasurer, Helen
Bennison. Miss Kennedy has been elected as class advisor.
Our colors are red and black, the boy's favorites.
But in spite of our worthy officers our path has not been
strewn with flowers for we have been molested on every
hand ; the peace of our parties has been disturbed by the
dignified Seniors ; our members have been most shamefully
hazed and accused of many things of which we
never heard.
We had our first class party February twelfth in the
Social room of the High School. The valentine idea was
carried out in the decorations. The girls came dressed
in their best gowns and the boys wore new suits and
squeaky shoes. We were all so bashful at first the boys

Literary

T was evening. The last glowing rays of the sun were
sinking behind the distant Virginia hills and the shadows,
as they lengthened, seemed to mingle into one dark
mass—twilight. The brisk November wind whistled
through the bare branches of the trees and the clouds
gathering in the north, indicated the approach of the season's
first snow.
The railroad station at Harrisville was crowded with
impatient travellers, waiting for the announcement of
their approaching trains. Without, the storm was raging—the
wind blew the light flurries of snow against the
window pane and before long a white coverlet was spread
over the ground.
A young girl entered the station, walking slowly
with her heavy burden, which was an old-fashioned telescope.
Her somewhat shabby suit showed signs of haying
been recently touched up and the neat white collar of
her shirtwaist was visible above the darkness of her coat.
Her hat was of the "several season's past" type and yet
in all probability it had been remodeled to the best of
advantages. Her fluffy golden hair waved beneath its
covering and added a tinge of prettiness to her face,
which could almost have been called—beauty. And yet,
as she walked across the room to a seat in the farthest
corner, her down-cast eyes and sober expression signified
that she was unhappy. Placing her telescope near her
she dropped into the depths of the seat and closing her
eyes, she was soon unaware of what was happening about
her.
In the opposite corner was seated a woman well ad-
38
vanced in age. From the time Elsie had entered the
station until she was slumbering, the elderly lady had
watched every movement the girl made with a sympathizing
look in her soft gray eyes.
"Trains for Havonsville, Cliffton, Frankport and
Millsburg—now on third track."
Elsie, started from her nap, looked about her in
amazement, but she soon collected her thoughts and
grasping her heavy luggage she pushed forward with
the crowd.
In the passenger coach she made herself comfortable
in a front seat and after removing her hat and jacket
she leaned back and watched the snow flakes dash noiselessly
against the window pane. Thus an hour passed
and the porter made his rounds lighting the lamps in the
coaches. Elsie took a book from her telescope and moving
over to the edge of the seat so as to get a better light,
she began to read. One by one the passengers left for
the dining car, but Elsie did not stir. Several seats back
the lady who had watched her in the station, was still
keeping a careful eye upon her. She wondered why the
girl did not go for her meal also. But this was the reason—Elsie
knew not where she was going, she only knew
she was trying to find some place where she could earn
her living. She dare not spend her money for food, for
she did not know how much farther she had to go to
obtain a position. Left alone in the world with no home
or relatives, she was compelled to shift for herself.
Finally, becoming anxious for Elsie and hungry herself,
the old lady left her seat and tapped the orphan
gently upon the shoulder. Elsie looked up into the smiling
face of a future dear friend.
"Pardon me, my child. Let me introduce myself,
Mrs. Harrington of Cliffton."

Elsie moved over and Mrs. Harrington seated herself.
"I am glad to meet you, Mrs. Harrington. I am
Elsie Maclntyre, but I cannot tell you where I am from
for I have no home."
"I am going to supper, dear. I do not mind travelling
alone, but I do like someone to eat with me. Would you
mind having supper with me?
Surprised, Elsie hesitated a moment and then replied,
"thank you, Mrs. Harrington, but I really do not
care for anything."
But older women are not fooled so easily for hunger
was written upon her fair brow.
"You must, my dear, even if you just have one wafer,
it will do you good," the elder insisted.
Yielding unwillingly, Elsie followed her companion
through the passenger coach into the dining car. The
meal passed almost too quickly for her, and her joyous
laugh attracted the attention of the other diners. Outside,
the snow was growing deeper and deeper and the
train dashed on; through valleys, past small towns and
on into the dark night. Before long the passengers were
slumbering. At midnight Elsie was suddenly awakened
by a jerk, a roar, and a crash while screams re-echoed
through the air. Elsie was conscious one brief moment
and she realized that something was wrong. When she
awoke, tender hands were lifting her carefully and she
heard a familiar voice say, "Send her to my home, Dr.
White." It was good to hear that voice again, for it was
Mrs. Harrington's. Evidently she had not been seriously
injured. The train had been wrecked near Cliffton,
which was the home town of Elsie's friend. As the ambulance
drove up the long drive leading to the mansion,
Elsie opened her eyes and saw the spacious parks surrounding
the home. She was carried up to a cosy room
where her injuries were treated. The doctor stated she
would not be able to walk for some time as one ankle
had been seriously injured.
Weeks passed by and Elsie was finally permitted to
39
walk with the aid of crutches. A month later she was
happy when her physician told her she had recovered
sufficiently to walk alone.
It was on a beautiful warm day the latter part of
May that Elsie entered the morning room and stood still
behind her friend who was standing with her back to
the door, arranging some freshly cut flowers in a tall
vase. Elsie was clothed in a thin morning gown and
around her neck hung a slender chain from which a
golden locket was suspended. Upon turning, Mrs. Harrington
uttered a cry of exclamation. "Why my dear,
you look as though you had never been ill. How charming
you look. You must always wear white," and then
her eyes fell upon the gold chain and locket.
She came nearer Elsie and held the locket in her hand,
examining it carefully. Then she pressed the spring and
the lid flew open. Within was a small picture of the
head of a child about four years of age. Her long curls
over her shoulders while the rosy lips were parted with
a sweet smile. The elderly woman gave a little gasp and
looked at Elsie questioningly.
"Is this a picture of you, Elsie?" she asked excitedly.
"Yes, it is the last picture I had taken," the girl answered.
The next moment Elsie was embraced in a pair of
feeble arms and shaking with sobs, Mrs. Harrington
cried, "my daughter, my long lost daughter," and holding
Elsie at arm's length, "can it be possible that I have
found you at last?"
Elsie, overcome by the sudden outburst of Mrs. Harrington,
stood speechless, watching the sobbing woman
beside her. Then realizing that this was her mother she
tenderly embraced the small trembling figure and whispered,
"Mother."
The weeks following were days of joy and happiness
between mother and daughter. Elsie soon learned
that she had a brother attending college and her mother

planned to keep the glad news from him until he returned
home for his summer vacation.
It was a bright June day. Elsie had been enjoying
the cool breeze in the park, feeding the deer and sending
the hounds bounding after sticks. Joy filled her heart
for her brother was coming in the evening.
After dinner mother and daughter went out upon
the large veranda stretching the full length of the front
of the house. Elsie was clothed in her favorite color,
white, and the breeze stirred her golden locks revealing
her fair brow beneath. The time approached and in the
distance could be heard the toot of an auto horn, which
was familiar to the happy relatives. A few moments
later Malcolm Harrington jumped lightly from the auto
and came quickly up the walk toward his mother. He
was followed by a tall slender young man. Malcolm embraced
his mother and then turned hesitatingly to Elsie.
The mother said nothing for at that moment Malcolm
introduced his chum, Orville Stone.
Early the next morning Mrs. Harrington called her
son to the morning room. As he entered. Elsie was
standing with her back to the door gazing out into the
garden, but when she heard his steps, she turned and
welcomed him with a smile. The mother led him to a
chair near her's and broke the news. She told how Elsie
had been kidnapped when a young child, how she had
lived in poverty, how the train had been wrecked and
her discovery that Elsie was her daughter. Malcolm
watched his sister closely during his mother's narration,
and when she had finished and he saw the tears in his
mother's eyes, he rose and crossing the room he took
his sister in his strong arms and said with a smile, "Elsie,
T am so glad mother has found you for she has always
grieved the loss of her daughter. I welcome you to my
heart with a brother's love and now I need not envy the
other boys who have sister for mine is the fairest of them
all." Then imprinting a kiss upon her brow, he released
her.
Days, weeks and months passed. Elsie, her brother
40
and his chum had many delightful days together. They
spent most of their time out of doors, riding horseback,
playing tennis, rambling in the park and motoring. Elsie
and her brother's chum became great friends and finally
that friendship deepened into something stronger—love.
Malcolm beamed with joy, when one day Orville
asked him if he could have Elsie for his own.
Several days before the boys' return to college, Mrs.
Harrington gave a large reception in honor of her departing
son and his friend. And thus it was that the engagement
was announced and the wedding was set for
ihe following July, after the graduation of Elsie's fiance
and her brother.
From poverty to wealth,
From sorrow to joy,
Elsie the fair had risen.

Was it Business?
(Dedicated to the Junior Booster Committee)
A
CROSS the campus of Blocks College came two vivacious,
laughing girls, each carrying a box, wrapped
in paper of various delicate tints and bountifully befringed
with cut paper. They were going to the "Gym,"
in which a box social was to* be given that night, and as
they walked they literally leaned back on the wind, which
was whistling by fiercely. As they neared the "Gym" a
boy was seen to come out.
"There's Sprigs," one of the girls said, almost shouting
to make herself heard above the roar of the wind, "I
wonder if he's coming tonight."
"Him?" her companion questioned disdainfully, "To
a box social? Why he's so blamed slow he wouldn't
have sense enough to bid on a box."
"Just so he don't get mine, I don't care," and they
walked on silently until they had passed Sprigs, whom
they thought had not heard. But they forgot that the
wind was blowing directly towards Sprigs, thus carrying
their loud conversation ; and he heard; he couldn't
help it. But he passed by them without looking up.
Why Sprigs was called Sprigs I don't know. Neither
does he. But he had an unenvied reputation of not having
attended any of the formal functions of his class or
college—or any of the informal ones either, as far as that
is concerned. What he was doing in the gym on this
particular night no one seemed to know, nor did any one
think that he would come again. But the girls had no
sooner entered the building than Sprigs turned about and
again entered, but at the basement door. He held a low
conversation with the janitor for a moment, in which moment
the janitor's face showed doubt, incredulity, and
amazement, accompanied with a slow shaking of the
head. A pause—a clink of coin and the janitor nodded a
smiling acquiescence.
42
That night Sprigs presented an unusually immaculate
appearance as he entered the gym. He paused at
the entrance and glanced over the assemblage. (An unused
table, upon which sat the janitor, was placed in one
corner of the room). At the farther end stood another
table upon which was piled many boxes and behind this
was placed the auctioneer's stand, for the boxes were to
be sold to the highest bidder—no limit. Amid shouted
greeting Sprigs walked calmly across the floor and slid
easily up on the table on which the janitor was seated.
"Where's your girl, Sprigs?" some one shouted.
"This isn't the library," volunteered another.
"Going to study the psychology of bidding, Sprigs?"
But Sprigs said nothing, not even to the janitor who
sat next to him.
The watches of various persons registered eight
o'clock. The auctioneer slowly mounted his stand and
with a bang of the gavel bawled out:
"Hear ye, hear ye, ye hungrified sons of Blocks. Tonight
there will be offered for sale forty-seven boxes of
delicious eatables, containing divers delectable and luscious
articles bound to please the most fastidious palate.
There is enclosed in each box the name of a fair maid of
Blocks with whom ye will share and divide your sumptuous
repast. Alright, gentlemen, start it out. This first
box. Do I hear fifty cents for the first bid?"
"Fifty cents," some one shouted.
"Fifty I am bid. Who gives me seventy-five? Seventy-five,
gentlemen, who bids seventy-five?"
"Seventy-five," came a bid.
"Seventy-five, I have. Do I get one dollar, gentlemen?
One dollar? Do I hear it? Consider, gentlemen,
one dollar. Going once, g" om g" twice, going
th "
"One Dollar," Sprigs shouted.
The auctioneer dropped his gavel and stared openmouthed
; every one in the room turned and looked at
Sprigs. Here was something new. Sprigs had bid!

Wonders! But Sprigs remained unperturbed. The auctioneer
slowly recovered and picking up his mallet
banged weakly on the stand.
"One dollar, I'm bid. Do I hear one and a quarter,
gentlemen?"
He didn't.
"Sold. To Mr. Sprigs for one dollar."
The second box was brought up, and had run up a
price of two and a quarter when the bidding lagged.
Sprigs jumped in.
"What why you've ," and the auctioneer
paused and blinked at Sprigs, then continued.
"Two and a half, I'm bid. Do I get three? Gentlemen?
Who bids three on this elegant box? Do I hear
it, gentlemen? Going once, , going twice . Three
times and sold to Mr. Sprigs for three dollars."
Sprigs run the next box up to four and a half before
the bidding stopped—and that made the third box in his
possession. The crowd thought that was his limit. He
wouldn't want more than three girls for company, in one
night, at least.
But Sprigs didn't stop there. To the three boxes on
the table behind him, within the next hour, he added
twenty-four more of the remaining boxes. Consternation
was rife among the other bidders. The auctioneer
now took it as a matter of fact, and expected to say, at the
time the bidding stopped for each box, "Sold to Mr.
Sprigs."
The boxes were now selling at five and six dollars a
piece, but each and every one was snapped up by Sprigs.
In a last despairing effort to secure the possession of a
box one bidder run the last box up to eight and one half.
But he was finally over-bid by Sprigs.
"This sure is some social," some one said, "you come
here to have some fun and that big stiff gobbles up everything."
The girls waited expectantly, watching to see whose
box would be opened first. But Sprigs did not move. To
43
himself, he was figuring rapidly.
"Forty-seven boxes at an average of five dollars
equals two hundred and forty-five, no thirty-five. Sell
them at six dollars a piece will be a profit of "
"Say, Sprigs, you're a good sport, won't you sell roe
a box for five dollars?"
"No, can't do it. Business."
In the other end of the gym a dozen fellows were
talking together in low tones. They paused a moment
and looked towards Sprigs and the boxes, and then
moved threateningly forward. Sprigs spoke a low word
to the janitor, who pulled a drawer out and procured two
good sized clubs. He handed one to Sprigs, who mounted
the table, and kept one himself, then took up a stand on
the floor in front of the table and stood there expectantly.
The advancing crowd paused. A long moment of
tense silence and then Sprigs spoke.
"Now litsen, fellows, I didn't come here for trouble
and I won't start it but we're ready for you if you
come."
No one moved.
"What I want to say is this. This afternoon I overheard
two girls who were talking about me, and they
said that I wouldn't come to a box social because I was
too slow to bid on anything. I came. You know the
rest. Now I don't intend to keep these boxes and I won't
keep them, so I'm here to sell them to you at an even six
dollars apiece. No more. No less. One at the time, now
fellows. Alright, come on."
And they came; for they were with girls, and not to
buy a box when the opportunity afforded it would be
well, you know and anyway, that's what they came
for in the first place. In fifteen minutes every box had
been sold and the couples were again comfortably seated.
As Sprigs left the gym, he turned at the door and
made a low bow to two girls, who, with two boys, were
sitting in one corner of the gym, eating from bountifully
befringed boxes.

William Sandford
Declamatory and Oratory
The preliminaries of the Boys' Declamatory Contest
were held in the Assembly Room, Tuesday, December
3rd. The judges of the contest, Attorney W. C. Ewan,
Principal W. F. Houston, and Rev. L. C. Trent, awarded
first place to Philip Carroll. He represented Kewanee
in the "Big 8" Declamatory Contest, held at Canton, Friday,
December 13th, where he acquitted himself with
unusual credit and received third place, Davenport receiving
first and Canton second. In the preliminaries,
William Sandford received second and Sam Carroll third.
The selections given by the different contestants were
as follows:
"Dickie and the Little God."—Sam Carroll, '15.
"True Power of Nations."—Walter Heise, '14.
"The Unkown Speaker."—Clyde Dexter, '13.
"Abe Barrow's Defense."—Philip Carroll, '13.
Gladys Carroll
Representative for Girl's Declamatory
at Monmouth
45
Philip G. Carroll
"The Loss of the Titanic."—William Sandford, '14.
"Contest in the Arena."—Robert Dundas, '13.
The preliminaries of the oratorical contest held on
January 24th were won by William Sandford, his subject
being "The Spirit of Discontent." Robert Dundas was
given second place, the theme of his oration being,
"Nathan Hale." Merwyn Cable spoke on "Progressive
Discontent," and Walter Heise on "The Price of Peace."
All the orations showed careful preparation and were
duly appreciated by the audience. William Sandford
represented Kewanee at Moline, at which place Moline
won first and Canton second. Here his oratorical powers
were displayed to the best advantage.
The Kewanee High Shool immensely appreciates
and wishes to thank publicly the men, who, by their
generosity, have helped to arouse interest in declamatory
and oratorical work. The contributors were A. Szold,
Thos. J. Welch, S. L. Arter, and M. D. Scott.

Kewanee Defeats Monmouth
While the Kewanee negative was battling- with Davenport,
the affirmative remained at home and clashed
with Monmouth. The debate opened by the two teams
walking upon the platform, the Kewanee team carrying
some material with them, but Monmouth brought
forth a large suitcase packed full and began to sort and
arrange it like a bunch of lawyers. The Kewanee team
at once saw that every bit of energy would have to be
brought into play.
Mr. Love acting as chairman made a few introductory
remarks and then introduced Max Handley, who started
the ball rolling for Kewanee, and a f ter explaining the
subject, proved in a very effective and direct way the
necessity of the Initiative and Referendum. Smith then
started for Monmouth with counteracting argument that
46
it would prove unnecessary. Sumner Anderson was the
next speaker for Kewanee and proved with great confidence
and emphasis that the Initiative and Referendum
would secure better government. Lauder then took the
floor for the negative and showed the dangers of this
question. The constructive argument was concluded for
Kewanee by the old war horse , Wm. Sandford, who with
splendid delivery, showed the practicability of the Initiative
and Referendum. Hottle concluded for Monmouth
and proved the question impracticable.
Rebuttals followed immediately and here the Kewanee
team far outshone the other. About all Monmouth
did was to repeat their original speeches, while the Kewanee
team was talking as fast as they could refuting arguments,
answering challenges and throwing material
upon Monmouth's table for them to read. The judges
then gave the decision two to one for Kewanee.

Davenport vs. Kewanee Debate
Principal Brooks, Philip Carroll, Robert Dundas and
Stanley Anderson journeyed to Davenport, at which
place our Kewanee negative team debated with the Davenport
affirmative. The debate was held in the auditorium
of the Davenport High School, a place which was
agreeable for public speaking.
Principal George Edward Marshall presided and announced
the first speaker of the evening, Parmele Peterson,
Davenport's veteran debater. Anderson opened
for Kewanee, speaking very agressively and more effectively
than at home, because he had learned the value of
pause. Davenport's second speaker, George Meadley.
was strong and advanced considerable argument in favor
of the Initiative. "Bob" Dundas immediately tore down
much of the constructive work, and thereupon proceeded
47
with the best speech he has ever made. His position
seemed impregnable. Oscar Lemme, Davenport's third
speaker, and a veteran, powerfully strong, but with Carroll's
appearance on the platform, the tide of argument
turned in Kewanee's favor. Phil introduced a specimen
ballot, showing it as being impracticable for intelligent
vote, and giving other arguments against which the affirmative
could say nothing.
The rebuttals proved even more interesting than the
opening speeches, and yet a weakness, common to both
teams, was the fact that neither attacked sufficiently.
There were clear points brought up by both sides, which
the others failed to refute, or even to mention. The closing
speech of rebuttal, by Peterson, was considered generally
to have won the debate for Davenport, because up
to that time, scarcely any advantage could be seen in the
(Continued on Page 53)

Class Debates
Work in debate has proved very successful this year
and in order to be a candidate for the debate between
Princeton and Kewanee, pupils were obliged to exercise
their debating and literary powers by partaking in class
debates. Different questions were decided upon for each
class and teams chosen from each class proceeded to debate.
The first class debate was given by the Juniors on
October 17th and the question was: That the United
States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the
people. William Sandford, Walter Heise and Max Handley
represented the affirmative, while Glen Meyers and
Frederick Gamble represented the negative. The judges
saw fit to give the decision to the affirmative and the
speakers were ranked as follows: William Sandford, first;
Glen Meyers, second, and Max Handley, third. These
three formed the Junior debating team.
The Sophomore debate took place November 7th,
and the question debated was: That the United States
Navy should be materially increased. Those who debated
were: Affirmative—Elwyn Moore, Gladys Jones
and Lawrence O'Connor. Negative—Sam Carroll, Helen
Pursell and Maxwell Edwards. The judges gave the
decision to the affirmative.
The third class debate was given by the Seniors, November
21st. This perhaps was one of the most interesting
debates given, as the question was especially practical
and appealed to everyone. It was: That the present
tendency toward specialization is detrimental to the individual
student. The affirmative was supported by
Philip Carroll, Yera Adams and Dean Fulper; the negative
by John P>annister. Louis McDermott and Robert
Dundas. Here also the affirmative won the decision of
the judges and places as awarded were: Philip Carroll,
first: Robert Dundas, second, and Vera Adams, third.
48
The question upon which the Freshmen and Sophomores
debated on January 30th was: That the state of
Illinois should adopt the initiative and referendum, constitutionality
granted. The Freshmen team, who argued
in favor of the affirmative, consisted of Brewster Hoffman,
Wilbur Wedge and Stanley Anderson; the Sophomore
team consisted of Gladys Jones, Lawrence O'Connor
and Elwyn Moore. Both sides put forth strong arguments
and the Freshmen showed splendid delivery,
but the Sophomores succeeded in winning.
SOPH. HISTORY
(Continued From Page 34)
When our first year of joy (?) was over, we agreed
that we never did like green as a color anyhow\
The opening of school marks the time where our
class takes the lead. The first and important class meeting
was held and besides electing officers. Miss Steenrod.
the latest addition to the faculty, was chosen class advisor.
Rumors also came to us from the foot ball camp that
nearly fifty per cent of this years team would be Sophomores.
Sure enough, when our boys took the field for
the first battle, the Sophomore class had more representatives
on the team than any other class. The captain
was also a Sophomore. It was like this during the
whole season. This probably accounts for the remarkable
record the team made.
In basket ball we shone even more than in foot ball.
During nearly the entire season, three out of the five
were Sophomores.
In debate we distinguished ourselves by defeating
the Freshman team.
In track we will make a good showing this year.
This is supposed to be a history, however, not a prophecy
: and as history must be made before it is written,
this epistle must close.

This is What "Hammie" Says:
While the foot ball season of 1912 is a thing of the
past, it yet clings to our memory as one of our most successful
seasons in the grid-iron sport. Last fall we broke
the precedent of years for we
had a great team following
a great team of the year before.
The Orange and
Black have been represented
by many good teams. But
never before was the school
represented by two teams of
such strength in two consecutive
years as the teams of
1911 and 1912.
I attribute the success of
the season to eleven causes,
namely, the eleven nervy
fighters that wore the
Orange and Black. We regret
very much to lose such splendid players as Lilley.
Carroll, Dexter, Bannister. It often seems to us as the
season closes and we lose so many stars that it will be
impossible to have a team the next year. But each year
there are other stars who the year before were only ordinary
stars. So we have learned from experience that the
ranks can always be filled, and know that in 1913 Kewanee
High School will be represented by another strong
team. With the following nucleus to build a team around
we cannot help but have a good team. Swain, Alison,
Haver, Hainds, Wilson, R. Anderson, Fuglsang, Euard,
L. Anderson, Moran, Boyd, F. Anderson, McDermott.
Lay, Mallory, Nobling. Jelinek. Hill. Burch, we hope,
will be in school in September. Of the above ten earned
their letter last fall. Some of these will fail to return ; but
we always have some show up who had never been heard
of before.
My one request to the students is: "Don't let your
enthusiasm die down, keep talking foot ball so that you
can give the team that represent the Orange and Black
in 1913 a good enthusiastic send off."

Davenport vs. Kewanee Debate

work of either team.
Seldom does an audience have the opportunity of
hearing a debate between two teams so well prepared, so
familiar with their subject and so confident of their abilities.
This Davenport affirmative team had recently defeated
the Davenport negative, 3-0. Our boys, having
come off with a two to one vote, may rightly be happy of
their achievement, for their work this year has raised the
standard of the Kewanee debating teams, and has given
us a prominent standing among the best schools of Illinois
and Iowa.
The Kewanee negative debating team owes much to
Vera Adams, who worked so conscientiously on the debate,
and the members appreciate the time which she
spent in helping to make the debate more interesting to
those who have listened to it.

"Gov." Brown Reviews the Season
We have had a great basket
ball team this year,
but who cares about that?
And we had a great foot
ball team, too. We have
also had two great debating
teams. But all these
things don't bother us
much. Sometimes we
get excited but not often.
Monmouth and Princeton
may go wild about the
victories they have won,
but not us. Somewhere
in our little town there is
an invisible fountain of
reserve, from which we
unconsciously draw great
fountains of self-control when there is any danger of our
growing weak under the magnetic influence of any important
event. It was not always thus, for we can remember
the days when the most rubid Freshman yelled
himself hoarse at the thought of a ball game.
How glad we are that this has all changed. We sure
can pride ourselves on being progressive. Nothing is
more foolish, it seems to us, than to see some charming
dear-faced Senior girl bringing disgrace to her family
history by such crude conduct as rooting for the home
team.
And yet we love our school as no one else can. We
are proud of its traditions and its history. We think
first of all a High School should be a place for training
the mind and not the body. This is an age of mental activity.
Men and women do not need physical strength
now as they once did. For we can ride in our automobiles
and street cars while we used to have to walk every
57
place we went. Of course, if we could have the right
kind of physical training it would not be bad. As things
are the games are too rough and the charge for tickets is
too much. Our athletic contests should afford a greater
opportunity for the display of our beauty and our more
lady-like qualities. Then we should all attend them and
take our friends with us. They should be played to the
accompaniment of nice music and the rowdy elements
should be reduced. Not a word should be spoken while
the contest is in progress lest the harmony be mutilated
and the good effort lost.
Knowing that all is well that ends well, we are hoping
that nothing will prevent things from ending well
with our dear old school. Let each one strive to reach
that high point of perfection desired of all Kewanee students.

Prospective Girls' Athletics
tgaWfi^ i Enthusiasm! Enthusiasm
! You have heard the
plea for it all year before
every foot-ball game, basket-ball
game and contest
of every sort, until you
are tired of the word, and
yet we must not let it die
for, "Nothing great was
ever achieved without enthusiasm."
The girls who
played basket-ball this
year have manifested a
great deal of it and
through their patience,
Bessie K. Gish
zeal, and sticktoitiveness
were able to play their one
public game with the
Alumnae.
An interesting feature of the game was the fact that
this team was composed of Senior girls. It frequently
happens that school duties become so numerous the last
year in high school, that those who took an active part in
previous years, give up the game on becoming Seniors.
This practice should not exist. Exercise ought to enable
one to do more and better work in less time. This
is the first season for several years that we have had
enough Seniors to comprise a team and have substitutes
besides. Most of the girls whom we lose with the class
of 1913 have played basket-ball since their Freshman and
Sophomore years, and this continued interest has made
them very efficient players. We shall be sorry to say
good-bye to them for numerous reasons, but most of all
because they have become untiring in their efforts, and
because through their characters they have given-a wholesome
tone to girls' athletics. It is to be hoped that the
59
present Juniors will maintain their interest and solicit
more players from their classmates next year. Members
of other classes should put forth an effort to secure class
teams. Girls, if you could have a Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior and Senior team, you would give yourselves and
the High School one of the most interesting, exciting and
enjoyable basket-ball seasons you ever experienced. You
can do it by being enthusiastic at the right time. The
Alumnae game of this year ought'to become an established
custom. The outcome of it financially is suggestive
of what a good opportunity the girls have, if properly
organized, of aiding athletics in general. Don't be
selfish girls, acquaint your friends with the pleasure of
the game, begin in September to arouse interest and aim
to accomplish more than ever before in girls* athletics.

Delphi

Treasurer Clyde Dexter Walter Heise
Secretary Burnham Martin Ellie Waller

Clubs
Delphi was organized in the fall of 1910 under the
supervision of the head of the English department, with
the object of promoting literary activities in the Kewanee
High School. The society is for Juniors and Seniors only.
In the past the plan was a decided success, so it was
with enthusiasm that we gathered at the beginning of
this year to elect new officers. The spirit of the Juniors
was manifested at the first meeting as the class was well
represented. Their loyal spirit has been retained and
they deserve commendation for the credible work they
have done for the good of the society.
The combined efforts of the Juniors and Seniors
have made this year more of a success than former years.
The Booster Committees have done splendid work as
the enrollment is twenty-five per cent better than it has
ever been before. The attention at the meetings has been
good, which J "act can be attributed to the good programs
prepared by the program committees. These programs
have done much besides amusing the audiences as they
have developed talents of many of the members which
were hitherto unknown. We were greatly aided by the
teachers who put forth their best efforts and made one of
the programs an exceptionally fine attraction.
The best developed talents are those of the debaters
which do credit to the faithful and untiring efforts of
Mr. Love. The first debate to come under the auspices
60
of Delphi was the Junior-Senior debate, which will be
long remembered by the members of each class. The decision
of the judges was two to one in favor of the Juniors,
nevertheless each side showed good preparation.
Although Princeton defaulted, the Annual Debate ol the
Eastern Triangle of the Big Eight was held when both
Kewanee teams debated each other in the High School
Auditorium on March 21st. In order to win the championship
of the Big Eight in debate, the Kewanee affirmative
team debated and defeated Monmouth's negative
team at Kewanee, and the negative team of Kewanee
travelled to Davenport where they met the affirmative
team of that city on the evening of March 31st; Davenport
and Monmouth being the winners in their respective
triangles. When the final decision of the judges
was received, it was found that Davenport was the champion,
with Kewanee a close second. After the debate
in this city, a reception in honor of the Monmouth debaters
was held in the social room.
A great deal of interest has been shown by the Seniors
who have attended regularly and have given their
services on the programs. In a large measure it is due
to their exertions that Delphi has attained such a successful
end. Let us hope the society will continue to prosper
in the future years as it has done in the past. However,
no fears are being entertained for the coming year
as the Juniors have already shown themselves capable
of any undertaking, and we are sure they will find able
helpers in the Tuniors of next year.

Probably this school is the only
high school that can boast of a
Camera Club. As this is the first
year, the members are doing all
they can to get it organized, so
that it may prove beneficial and
of great interest to the classes
that are to follow. This club is
not only for the Seniors but for
all the school students that take
an interest in it.
The club boasts of about forty members, which is
considered good for the first year. The chief object of
this club is to take the best pictures possible and to learn
to develop and print them. At several of the meetings
photographers of the city have lectured on the different
topics pertaining to the Camera. Mr. Hultgren has offered
a Hawkeye kodak to the pupil taking the best picture,
developing and printing it himself, providing he
61
- . - - • ^
uses the Hawkeye film. The contest does not end until
May 30 and by that time all members will be able photographers,
so that the contest will be very close, thus
showing the good derived from the Camera Club.
Mr. Lory invited the club members to his studio to
see the different operations in developing and printing,
for in that way, the real photographic work could more

The Kewanee High School Orchestra
Instrumental music is a delightful addition to the life
of any school. It brightens and encourages our spirits;
it develops esprit de corps. All over the world soldiers
respond to the bugle and march behind the fife and drum.
Music is the most potent agency known for inspiring unanimity
of purpose and action whether in an engagement
on the battlefield, in a political gathering on the
street corners or in a "pep" meeting at K. H. S.
Moreover many students whom Nature has not endowed
with musical voices may by practice develop considerable
musical ability on an instrument. What our
Glee Club last year added to our programs was shown
by the favorable comments of the visitors and by the increased
enthusiasm of the student body. To utilize instrumental
ability already in school and to develop latent
powers by interesting other students in taking up an instrument-—these
were our objects in organizing last Fall
our Kewanee High School Orchestra.
62
Principal Brooks had talked with other school men
who have orchestras and had written a number of high
schools, notably Richmond, Indiana, and Rock Island,
Illinois, from whom valuable suggestions were received
regarding our organization for orchestral music.
Under Miss Miller's direction our Orchestra has delighted
the students on programs of our morning exercises
;. it has played at outside programs, proving an especial
favorite at the Farmers' Institute; and the County
Association was favored by some of our orchestra players.
The programs of Commencement Week will include
other orchestral numbers which promise to please our
largest audiences.
Miss Miller has the school's appreciation for having
undertaken the organization and leadership of our orchestra.
Its success is her best tribute.

The K. H. S. Glee Club in the
fall of 1912 entered upon the second
year of its successful career.
It has been more completely organized
this year and now holds
regular meetings Monday evenings
and Wednesday noons. Although
the members have practiced
as faithfully as last year the
K. H. S. students and friends
have been accorded the privilege
of hearing the results as often as
in the preceding year, a fact for
which they are perhaps duly
grateful.
It has appeared at High School, also at the Farmers'
Institute held in Kewanee, and will probably furnish
music for Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises.
The Glee Club in the beginning of this year's work
greatly missed the brilliant stars (in other words Alumni
of '12), who helped to add a rare spirit to it by their musical
charms. But their places have been filled with other
worthy members and the Glee Club is this year equally
representative o r the different classes of the K. H. S.
Miss Miller is to be commended for the work which
she has accomplished this year with the Glee Club and
the interest and patience which has characterized her
music work in former years and which has been displayed
in her chorus work.

"The Tiger"
Two years and a half ago the students of K. H. S.
expressed their desire and willingness to have and support
a high school magazine. Accordingly, just two
years ago last January the first issue of the "Tiger" appeared,
and immediately became a success. To the editor,
Gilbert Wright, and business manager, Arthur Carlson,
is due considerable credit for overcoming the obstacles
in such an undertaking. Miss Burnett, faculty
advisor, was instrumental in the starting of the first
volume.
In September, 1911, a very able staff was elected tc
promote and further "The Tiger's" interests. Paul Hankins
and Harold Szold held the respective positions of
editor-in-chief and business manager, while Roy Love

acted as faculty advisor. They were assisted by a very
able staff. The year 1911-1912 produced an increase in
the size of the volume and improved its financial standing
over that of the previous year.
According to precedent the staff for 1912-1913 were
selected in September, 1912. Sumner Anderson was
elected to the position of editor-in-chief and Harry Clears
to that of business manager, while Mr. Love, by virtue of
his position, acted as advisor. Moved by the same impulses
as had moved former officers, they have tried to
improve upon previous volumes. This year has shown
improvement over former years in several ways. There
has been more original material presented in the publications,
and there will have been three supersized numbers
those of September. December and May. The financial
accounts show quite an increase over previous years.

Scientific agriculture, according to the best authorities,
is the salvation of the farm problem of this and other
communities. To keep up with the trend of the times,
our High School introduced at the beginning of the fall
term, a course in Agriculture. At the beginning of the
second semester, there was a demand for another beginning
course. This course is not composed entirely of
boys and girls from the country, but many of Kewanee's
boys and girls find the study interesting. Some o' these
will doubtless find their future livelihood on the farm.
During the last twenty-five years, America's progressing
industries have demanded so many of her citizens,
that the farm has been robbed of its share of popularity.
The export farm products are gradually becoming
a thing of the past. This means that there will be a greater
demand for the farmer. With all the conveniences and
machinery of the modern farm, country life is now beginning
to appeal to many young men who are seeking a
vocation. The school is ready to meet the demands of
the community in making this one of the most beneficial
and most practical courses of the High School. This
65
coming year, we will be better equipped and have better
organized courses to offer to the new and old student.

ideserve great credit for their untiring efforts for "The
Tiger's" success.
To those who have kindly lent their support in any
way, "The Tiger" wishes here to extend its most sincere
thanks and appreciation. The student body has indeed
done nobly in striving to keep it above boards.
As yet the staff for the year 1913-1914 has not been
chosen but, whoever they may be the best wishes are
extended to them for its continued success.

Camera Club
(Continued From Page 61)
easily be understood.
On April 23rd, Mr. Washburn from New York, representing
the Eastman Kodak company, lectured on the
different parts of the camera and on the developing and
printing of pictures. This lecture was given in Krieg's
Jewelry Store, and all the public, especially the Camera
Club of the K. H. S., were invited to attend. Very interesting
and important ideas were discussed about the kodak
and camera.
The club members have derived a great deal of useful
information from this club and it is the hope that it
will continue to be a source of useful information to the
members that are to follow. If the under graduates wiU
continue to push this organization and try to make a
larger and better club out of it, they will find it as interesting
and helpful as the members have this year.
Junior Class Play, ' 1 4
Juniors Present Farce Comedy.
"Bachelor Hall," presented by the Juniors at Grand
Theater, was a brilliant success. The talent of the Juniors
which has been prominent during their whole High
School life was creditably displayed and the interesting
plot cleverly worked out by each of the players.
The humorous situations woven into the plot of
"Bachelor Hall" were especially well handled. The very
appearance of Charles Blake, as Mr. Myrtleton's butler,
called forth a howl of delight. Max Handley, as the amateur
detective, William Sandford, as Silas Jervis, and
Glen Meyers, as Elisha Bassett maintained the funny
vein running through the performance.
Majorie Spickler, in the role of Betty Vance, Myrtle's
ward, was one of the stars of the evening and her
acting won her much deserved praise.
Lillian Cloud, as Mrs. Van Styne, kept things moving
during her appearance on the stage, which was often
enough to demonstrate clearly her ability to well interpret
the ways of the excitable and aspirant woman.
Rurick Anderson, as Ensign Jack Meredith, handled
his part very ably, as did also Dean Handley in the part
of the Hon. Geoffrey Myrtleton.
The other parts, taken by Adela Jacobs, Gladys Carroll,
Ruth Stewart, Merwyn Cable, Thomas Moore and
Walter Heise, were especially good and very essential to
the success of the play.
Miss Steenrod, whose able coaching was clearly apparent
by the work produced, is entitled to a great deal
of credit for her painstaking endeavor to make the performance
a success.
Freshie's Mother—Johnnie, did you get any marks in
school today?
Johnnie—Yes, but you couldn't see them unless F
went in swimming.

A Few Important Facts in History
Once upon a time in the past decade there was an
innocent young man by the name of Fay Dice. He was
a meek fellow and would never have thought of harming
an innocent creature, but one day after washing his face
and combing his hair, his own dog bit him.
Back, back in the ages of the past, there stood upon
a platform a young man, ah yes, a brave and valiant
young man, who dared, who risked his life by asking the
innocent question—"Whose word would you rather take,
Abraham Lincoln's or Glenn Myers'?"
Just fifty years ago today, Miss Crosby received a
gold medal for fast and daring bicycle riding.
Nearly fifty years ago day after tomorrow, Mr. Wiseman
stood upon a vinegar barrel amusing cats and dogs,
mosquitos and other live stock by reciting—
"Breathes there a man with soul so dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
'This is my own, my native land.' "
Thirty-three years ago yesterday, Mr. Roy Love was
shut up in the wood-shed for showing slight symptoms
of "sarcasticism." (That's contagious, better be careful).
Photographer—How do you want your picture
taken?
Senior—I want my feet to show.
Photographer—Wait until I get my group camera.
Mr. Brown (to Civic Class)—Tomorrow I want you
all to discuss the form of government in Kewanee.
Girlie M.—Where will we find all this?
George L.—In the city directory, of course.

Junior-Senior Reception, 1913
The annual Junior-Senior reception was held in the social room
of the Kewanee High School, Friday evening, April 25. The reception
committee, composed of the officers of the class of 1913,
met their guests at the door. The Japanese effect was carried out
in the decorations most effectively, not a single detail being omitted.
The odor of burning punk added much to the oriental idea. Cherry
blossoms were used in abundance as well as mats, rugs and cushions.
The little pergola in the center of the room, decorated with
wisteria, was very charming. The decorations compare most favorably
with any seen at any of the receptions in past years.
The program was excellent, being opened by a few words of
welcome given by Frederic Gamble, president of the class of 1914-
Phillip Carroll, president of the class of 1913, responded with a
clever poem, in the form of a toast to the host. Miss Trask gave a
difficult instrumental selection which was much appreciated. Miss
Poole appeared next on the program, her vocal selection winning
much favor. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Ferris of Galesburg.
His talk was excellent and was enjoyed by everyone present.
It was very instructive as well as entertaining. The Juniors may
feel complimented upon being able to secure such a delightful
speaker. The program was concluded by a violin solo by Miss
Irene Baethke. This was so well received that she favored the audience
with another equally pleasing selection later in the evening.
Frappe was served during the evening, and later refreshments
consisting of fruit ice cream, assorted wafers and candies were
served.
The Juniors may feel well repaid for their efforts.

Twenty Years Out
Two decades since the class of '93 passed out from
the High School walls seem, to the present writer, to
have witnessed as far a departure afield as any similar
length of time in the history of our public schools here.
True enough, to the son or daughter of Kewanee who has
as a memory background only the old Academy on South
Chestnut street, the Central School period of 1890 to
1910 seems new enough. But up to the time of the graduation
of the Class of 1893 from Central School, our
town was somewhat isolated from the world around us.
As yet our schools had sent but few of their pupils to
college. Our High School had slight affiliation with
other schools in our neighborhood; no interscholastic
debates or athletic contests were then, we believe, common,
and our High School itself was not yet segregated
physically or figuratively, as it is now, from the lower
grades o c the public schools of the town. Speaking
broadly, our entire national life, of which the local and
school life is, in the very nature of things, a pretty close
reflection, had not yet come into the international relations
and world interests in which we find ourselves in
the second decade of the twentieth century. Is this
stretching the simile too far? To at least one Kewanee
graduate of twenty years since, the customs, racial stock,
daily habits, yes, even habit of thought of the High
School students of today seem,—must we say it, who do
not feel very old or out of joint?—ultra-modern and quite
beyond our foresight when we stood where you are today.
^
For we have in mind the days when there was no
such thing as High School football, in fact no organized
81
athletics at all or athletic director, no gymnasium, no real
High School spirit or rivalry with other towns except in
some occasional oratorical contest; no domestic science,
manual or commercial training, no High School Annual
or High School "Tiger;" no social activities, save some
class trip to Galva, no Senior party or class week except
Commencement and Alumni Reunion. Our only musical
instruction was given us in assembled school by that well
remembered superintendent, Mr. Rosseter. The same
able and versatile friend of us all, talked to us about twice
weekly on Current Events and such interesting topics as
railroads and astronomy. Once a month, if we are not
mistaken, the School assembled on Friday evening to
that much dreaded, but most beneficial ordeal of Public
Rhetoricals, when each must, in his turn, recite before
his friends and, alas! his family. Finally, we are thinking
of the days when Commencement was still held in
Library Hall and every candidate for graduation must
read or recite all that he had learned and more, until the
railroad sent some friendly train to interrupt the thread
of the discourse and give him time to catch his breath
and renew his courage to press on to the coveted honors
and glorious entry into the welcoming, but hostile world.
You Seniors of 1913 have a lot of things, but not these!
Much has been added to the complexity and fullness of
your lives, but these blessings are denied you!
As we look back to those school days, pleasant in
retrospect, but stern in the passing, always very serious
and full of importance to our youthful hearts, we can but
express the hope that the earnest, patient endeavors of
your faithful corps of teachers of these present days may
be rewarded with the same degree of gratefulness for
kind and helpful words fitly spoken, for careful precept
and worthy example as we feel who sat at other feet and
were convinced our lot was hard, our teachers exacting,
and longed for the day when we should be done with it
all, and pass out into the blithesome world, so fresh and
inviting- and free from what seemed to us, care.

Now I am sure you all must know
The cause of all our grief and woe ;
And yet you wonder why each one
Of those gay Seniors looks so glum.
Well, to explain each sober face,
I'll try to state the facts of the case.
The "Board" has made a strict new rule,
That every class which leaves this school,
Instead of looking trim and neat,
With faces most serene and sweet.
Must for a time parade around.
Each one bedecked in hat and gown.
They never even gained consent
For us those hideous gowns to rent.
Then how indignant we became
(And still contend it is a shame.)
They took our measurements one by one.
And now those horrid things have come.
And we've entreated, we've implored,
Trying our best to persuade that "Board."
Yet all our pleading's are in vain.
And that new rule is just the same.
So there we'll sit on Commencement night.
All togged up. just looking a fright.
PRO and CON
-M. G. S.
Frank P.-—You know there was something that I
wanted to say to you and I can't remember what it was.
Helen—It wasn't good-night, was it?
Connell C.—I broke something on my typewriter
today.
Frank P.—What was it? A record?
F. P. (bob riding)—Throw some of that blanket on
my feet that's going to waste.

Of the illustrious Seniors I'll sing you a song.
It will not be short, nor will it be long.
It's a tale of a subject of much renown,
A tale of that most famous cap and gown.
They've used them in other schools, so they tell
And the students have liked them wondrous well,
So our class of '13 tho't they would try
Those caps and gowns in a shade of grey dye.
'Twould save money they knew, our Seniors were thrifty
And the garb would be swell, also nobby and nifty,
It showed the true spirit, the whole plan was great
But trouble arose which I grieve to relate.
First a bevy of girls started voices to humming.
By questioning, "Say, do you think them becoming?"
Then shortly after these girls began fussing
Some boys chimed in, there was added (dis)cussing.
The girls then sneered and whimpered and gabbed.
And the boys knocked and kicked and crabbed,
Affairs reached a crisis, folks wouldn't be quiet,
A Senior class meeting was ended in a riot,
Grave dissensions arose and indeed they do say
The quarrel was not settled for many a day.
But at last some brave citizens ended the fight
And the caps and gowns won, as does always the right,
To look at it fairly, the idea is grand.
The Seniors have taken a most worthy stand,
And will be classed as a wondrous clan
For taking their dues as best they can.
So let's stop the quarrel and settle down
Contenting ourselves with a grey cap and gown.
Harold A.—What's all the row over on the next
block?
Senior—Only a wooden wedding.
Harold A.—A wooden wedding?
Senior—Sure, a couple of Poles getting married.

BUILD YOUR "CASTLES IN THE AIR"—BUT
BUILD THEM IN THE NIGHT:—
The man or woman who would succeed must build castles in the air: For, a dream,
a desire, a hope, is the mother of everything worth while.
But, when your castle in the air is built—when you know what you want to do, what
you want to be—then build again on a foundation of rock.
The night is the time for dreams—the day the time for action. So, in the day time get
down to real business. Do each days work, no matter what it may be, as best you can
and strive always to do it better. For the man or woman who so does is bound to be a
SUCCESS.
And success is what is sincerely desired for you by the

dollars." He produced a wallet and counted out the
money, then shoved it towards Mr. Bruckley. Sprigs
counted out the profit, divided it by two and put one half
with the three hundred.
"That's your interest," he said.
The two were silent a moment, then Mr. Bruckley:
"Boy, when you have finished college come around
and see me—will you?"
He would. He did; and is now a junior member of
the banking firm of Buckley and no he's not called
Sprigs any more now, but just call him by that name if

When Sprigs left the gym he boarded a south bound
street car and rode to the most fashionable district in the
city. After he left the car, he walked at short distance
up the street and turned in at the residence of Mr. J. M.
Bruckley, commonly referred to as "that Wall Street ellow."
Sprigs sent up his card and immediately was ushered
into the pompous presence of Mr. Bruckley.
"Well, did you fix them, lad?" was Mr. Bruckley's
questioned greeting.

An exciting event happened at the close of the party. One
of our boys ran off with the Sophomores to show them a
good time and after entertaining them awhile, with the
best his brilliant intellect could command, with all the
generosity of a Freshman heart, he presented the Sophs
with a few of his choice locks as a keepsake.
Our class is represented in the football and basket
ball teams and our boys have done full credit to the class.
In a debate between the Sophomores and Freshmen, the
former gained the decision of the judges, although many
upper class men thought our men did so well that the
honor should have been ours. This only tends to prove

Hail 1914 I Thy name we love -
Ever thy praise we'll loudly sing,
The blue and the white our colors above,
Will always a victory bring
Of glorious honors we now can boast,
For talent is in our noble band;
Now to old "14" we give a toast,
Which will ring throughout the land.
Chorus.
Here's health to the class of 1914 -
Here's praise to her honors rare -
The medals she's won in track and debate
Are symbols of virtues fair -
Long may she keep her lofty ideals
And profit by them as years! go by;
Ever will 1914 remember
Dear old Kewanee,High.

Dear K. H. S. we bid thee farewell,
We leave thy halls reluctantly,
You have been faithful, we I^ve been loyal,

We'll have memories of happy days serene;
Farewell dear high school, faculty, students
Do not forget "14" !
