they chose purple and gold for their class colors.<br />
With this capable set <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers and the sound<br />

successfully through their first<br />
year in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the things not to be<br />
forgotten by the Freshmen was<br />
the reception tendered to them<br />
by the Seniors. Of course each<br />
Freshman received the usual<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> razzing by the upper<br />
classmen, but each had a won-<br />

were for things to get started so<br />

this group to lead them, the class<br />
anticipated a successful year.<br />
The first thing that interested<br />

Well, I should say it was, and<br />
each person that attended that<br />
party said the same thing: "We<br />

Not only did they make themselves known<br />
to the upper classmen by their<br />
very successful social activities,<br />
but also in athletics. When the<br />
inter-class basketball tournament<br />
came around the Sophomores<br />
were there with bells on. The<br />

The, next opening day <strong>of</strong> school found them<br />
all in the auditorium on the<br />

that they were full-fledged Juniors.<br />
For <strong>of</strong>ficers they chose Elmer<br />

us as long as it does most Freshmen to lose that stamp<br />

About two weeks after the opening <strong>of</strong> school we had a<br />
class meeting. At this meeting we selected our class colors,<br />
which were blue and white, and decided to have Miss Pierce<br />
for our class adviser. We also elected our <strong>of</strong>ficers for the<br />
year. They were: James Fulton president, Gale Eberle vice<br />
president, Dorothy Dunn secretary, Charles Gamble treasurer.<br />

Soon everyone was excited and nobody but the Freshmen<br />
knew what the excitement was about. Yes, it was a successful<br />
class party. But we mustn't forget to mention the wonderful<br />
reception given us by the Seniors. It was a lovely<br />
affair and our ambition is to give as nice a one to the<br />
Freshman class when we are Seniors.<br />
We were decidedly prominent in the boys' inter-class<br />
basketball tournament. Our fellows exhibited fine ability as<br />
basketball players and won first place for themselves in the<br />
tournament. In inter-class track, too, our boys did well. We<br />
have some promising young athletes.<br />
Now we are Sophomores, and for our leaders we elected:<br />
Harris Kemp president, Barton Lundberg vice president,<br />
Ruth Adams secretary, Thomas Bos well treasurer, and Miss<br />

to do great things, and we have not been disappointed in<br />
even the slightest way.<br />
Ag-ain in inter-class basketball we did well. We tied for<br />
first place in the boys' section, and our girls took third place<br />
In their section. We made a fine showing in track, too.<br />
Our class party was held the latter part <strong>of</strong> April and in<br />
spite <strong>of</strong> the fact that it was held so late in the year, nobody<br />
had lost any enthusiasm, and a good time was had by all.<br />
Thus ends our Sophomore year—a year <strong>of</strong> decided success.<br />
As great a success as can be rightfully claimed by any<br />
class. We are proud <strong>of</strong> our record, but we'll make even a<br />
better one as Juniors.<br />

Not quite a month had slipped by when, according to custom,<br />
the Senior class entertained us with a reception. After<br />
the usual welcome speech by the Senior president and the<br />
reply by the Freshman president, a fine program was presented.<br />
It was a reception never to be forgotten by anyone<br />
present. We were entertained royally, and the good time<br />
had by all brings many pleasant thoughts to our minds.<br />
Speaking <strong>of</strong> parties. Well, the Freshmen held a very successful<br />
party <strong>of</strong> their own. Not only the Freshmen enjoyed<br />
it, however—ask the faculty if they didn't have a good time.<br />
The Class <strong>of</strong> '30 made a splendid showing in the interclass<br />
basketball tournament. Yes, we tied for first place<br />
in the boys' section <strong>of</strong> the tournament. Our girls didn't do<br />

so well, but that was only a start for them, and we are<br />
confident that they will do us honor next year.<br />
This was not all, either! It was the Freshman class that<br />
led the school in Honor Assembly most <strong>of</strong> the time this<br />
year. We have good students as well as good athletes, and<br />
we are proud <strong>of</strong> them, too.<br />
Our first year in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School is nearing completion,<br />
and we have made a very good start and have taken<br />
our place in the school activities. However, we ere not satisfied,<br />
and when school opens next September we are going<br />
to start things going immediately. Believe me, the other<br />
classes are going to have to step some fast to keep up with<br />
the Class <strong>of</strong> '30.

The Kewanite<br />
In accordance with a custom recently established in Keivanee High School, the student body<br />
this year, as in previous years, was given the opportunity to select the most active boy and girt.<br />
This year the students have selected and by this selection honored, Kathryn Behr and Clayton Davis.<br />
Kathryn Behr<br />
Kathryn well deserves the title, "The most<br />
active girl in K. H. S." Although she did not<br />
join our ranks until the last week <strong>of</strong> the first<br />
semester <strong>of</strong> our Junior year, she soon took her<br />
place among us.<br />
Kathryn has always been ready with her<br />
clever ideas and her hard work. She was largely<br />
responsible for the success <strong>of</strong> the Senior Shocks,<br />
and also held a leading part in the Senior class<br />
play. She was the capable and reliable captain<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Senior girls' basketball team, and wears<br />
the girls' "K" as a reward for her athletic<br />
activities.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> Kathryn's activities since she has<br />
been here have been:<br />
Student Federation, 3, 4; Glee Club, 4;<br />
Belle <strong>of</strong> Barcelona, 4; Dramatic Club, 4; Senior<br />
Shocks, 4; Basketball, 3, 4; Girls' "K";<br />
Kewanite Staff, 4; Class Play, 4.<br />
We certainly feel that Kathryn has been a<br />
real leader, and we are proud to claim her as<br />
a product <strong>of</strong> the Class <strong>of</strong> '27.<br />
Clayton Davis<br />
"K," the leader <strong>of</strong> the Student Federation<br />
for the past year, is, without a doubt, the most<br />
active boy in the school. And he is one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most active boys that K. H. S. has ever had. He<br />
well deserves the honor conferred upon him by<br />
the students.<br />
Besides his duty as director <strong>of</strong> Student Federation,<br />
he has been an extremely capable business<br />
manager <strong>of</strong> this year-book. His title <strong>of</strong><br />
business manager signifies his ability along that<br />
line without any further addition <strong>of</strong> words.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> Clayton's activities during his high<br />
school career have been:<br />
President Red Triangle, 2; President <strong>of</strong><br />
Class, 2; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; Boosters<br />
Club, 2, 3, 4; Vice President Student Federation,<br />
3; President Student Federation, 4; Vice<br />
President Hi-Y, 3; President Hi-Y, 4; Debate<br />
Club, 4; Glee Club, 4; Belle <strong>of</strong> Barcelona, 4;<br />
Senior Shocks, 4; Class Play, 3, 4.<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> High loses one <strong>of</strong> the best leaders<br />
she has ever had the pleasure to call her own<br />
upon "K's" graduation this June. The Class <strong>of</strong><br />
'27 is indeed proud <strong>of</strong> the fact that "K" is one<br />
<strong>of</strong> her number.
Miss Terrill<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1327<br />
Mr. Koch<br />
as our year-book adviser and helper, has been the guardian<br />
angel who has aided us so materially in the editing<br />
<strong>of</strong> this, our "Kewanite." Her advice has always been<br />
<strong>of</strong> the best and for the best, which accounts for the<br />
success <strong>of</strong> this book.<br />
The staff wishes to thank Miss Terrill for her<br />
work and the devotion <strong>of</strong> her expert ability toward<br />
this book. We sincerely hope that the future "Kewanite"<br />
staffs may enjoy working- with Miss Terrill as much as<br />
we have.<br />
has been one <strong>of</strong> the most competent workers we havehad<br />
helping to make this year's "Kewanite" a success.<br />
His thorough knowledge <strong>of</strong> business procedure has<br />
aided us greatly in carrying out all <strong>of</strong> our financial<br />
problems successfully. Financing a year-book is by no<br />
means an easy task, and with the aid <strong>of</strong> his keen business<br />
judgment we have been able to finance ours.<br />
We, the staff, wish to thank Mr. Koch for his sound<br />
advice and his untiring effort.<br />

worked hard and long on this book. To make this<br />
book a success was their aim, and everyone will agree<br />
they have reached their goal to perfection.<br />
Editing an annual is by no means an easy task, and it<br />
is through the faithful work <strong>of</strong> the editor <strong>of</strong> each department<br />
and each manager that the publication and the quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> the publication is made possible. This year's staff members<br />
have been exceedingly faithful, and consequently we<br />

make the "Tiger" this year better than ever, and we will<br />

We, the staff <strong>of</strong> '27, wish the staff for next year the<br />
best <strong>of</strong> luck for a bigger, better, peppier, and more popular<br />

T HIRTEEN years ago the Student Federation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School was<br />
organized. It was instituted to promote interest and welfare <strong>of</strong> the student<br />
body in athletic and social activities. It is the spirit shown by the <strong>of</strong>ficers at<br />
all times that awakens the splendid spirit <strong>of</strong> enthusiasm in the students which has<br />
been shown this year.<br />
Co-operation with the "<strong>of</strong>ficers by the student body has been greatly manifested<br />
this year. We sincerely hope that the future <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> this essential organization<br />
may meet with as hearty co-operation as this year's <strong>of</strong>ficers have.<br />
Pep meetings have been snappier than ever before, and all the athletic and<br />
literary activities have been backed whole-heartedly by the students. Snake dances<br />
were bigger and better this year, and with the aid <strong>of</strong> our "peppy" cheer leader real<br />
enthusiasm was instilled into the crowd.<br />
The school has plenty <strong>of</strong> reason to be proud <strong>of</strong> the Student Federation. May<br />
it always have the success that it has had this year.

T HE Boosters Club is one <strong>of</strong> the most active clubs in K. H. S. Last year the<br />
club was not organized until late in the year, and for that reason it did not<br />
accomplish very much. However, this year the <strong>of</strong>ficers have set the members<br />
to work and they have accomplished more than anyone imagined was possible for<br />
one club to do.<br />
Of all the clubs in the school that have worked hard to have the social room<br />
improved, the name <strong>of</strong> Boosters Club should head the list. It was at the suggestion<br />
<strong>of</strong> this club that other organizations took up the idea. Also it was through the<br />
efforts <strong>of</strong> this group that the sale <strong>of</strong> hot-dogs and ice cream bars was made possible<br />
every Tuesday and Thursday after school. All <strong>of</strong> us anxiously awaited these sales.<br />
Mr. Koch has been the club's adviser this year, and his sound advice has helped<br />
the members and <strong>of</strong>ficers in their projects greatly.<br />
Next year the club is planning to do even greater things than it showed us it<br />
could do this year. And if plans are once started in this organization, it is a safe<br />
bet that they will be carried out to the best <strong>of</strong> the members' and <strong>of</strong>ficers' ability.<br />
We heartily wish all the success we can for the future.<br />

THE Dramatic Club, in its efforts to reach a goal <strong>of</strong> success, has worked very<br />
hard. Its efforts have been anything but in vain because through the work <strong>of</strong><br />
all concerned this club has attained the highest possible goal that any club<br />
could wish for.<br />
During the first semester the meetings were made very interesting by the presentation<br />
<strong>of</strong> one-act plays and novelty programs. The turn-outs to the meetings<br />
were almost astounding. Everyone had a keen interest in the meetings, and in fact<br />
everything that the club did.<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the first semester the capable! president left school. At his farewell<br />
meeting we realized fully how much we were going to miss the guiding hand<br />
<strong>of</strong> Bill. The vice president, James Talbot, stepped into his place and has kept up<br />
the good work to the best <strong>of</strong> his ability. His ability as a leader is as good as anyone<br />
could possibly wish for, too.<br />
All the clubs in school and all the students were interested in the matter <strong>of</strong><br />
improving the social room. The Dramatic Club became seriously interested in this<br />
matter and proved it by conducting a magazine subscription sale to realize money<br />
for the improvement. Every member <strong>of</strong> the club worked hard, and the result was
nf 1327<br />
Dramatic Club—Continued<br />
a check for fifty dollars which the president <strong>of</strong> the club presented to the president<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Boosters Club for any improvement that it could be used for.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the most important things on the calendar <strong>of</strong> events for this club<br />
each year is the preliminary one-act play .contest. This year the following plays<br />
were presented: "Fame and the Poet," "Kitty Clive," and "Evening Dress Indispensible."<br />
The presentation <strong>of</strong> these plays as usual brought out a good crowd, and<br />
"Kitty Clive" was chosen by the judge, Pr<strong>of</strong>. Roberta D. Sheets, <strong>of</strong> Lombard College,<br />
as the play to represent <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School in the Big Nine contest.<br />
One-act plays were presented at the Congregational Church for a ladies' organization<br />
several times, and "Kitty Clive" was taken to Lombard College in Galesburg<br />
for presentation.<br />
Later in the year the club put on another play for the public. Again a huge<br />
audience turned out. About this time we came to the conclusion that the Dramatic<br />
Club was as popular with the older people as it was with the students.<br />
Of course we couldn't go through the year without having a party. And, oh,<br />
what a party it proved to be. It was a hard time party, and Ruth Adams received<br />
the prize for having the most appropriate costume. A lovely program was presented<br />
for all those attending, and games <strong>of</strong> every sort imaginable were played.<br />
The credit for the successful year that the Dramatic Club has just passed is<br />
due not only to the <strong>of</strong>ficers and the members, but also to the club adviser, Miss<br />
Ericsson. Miss Ericsson has given her time to coaching plays and helping to make<br />
the meetings <strong>of</strong> this organization interesting, and she has worked hard to make this<br />
year spell success for the club. She certainly has succeeded, and we all appreciate her<br />
efforts and wish for her the best <strong>of</strong> luck for the future clubs that she sponsors.

Landlord . __ Elwill Schmidt<br />
ON FEBRUARY 18, the talented cast mentioned above journeyed to Princeton<br />
for the Big Nine one-act play contest. They presented their play under a<br />
great handicap—a large stage with but a small cast <strong>of</strong> three to occupy it. The<br />
cast is to be complimented upon the splendid way in which the play was presented.<br />
It was a very difficult play to produce, and this group did their part extremely well.<br />
"Kitty Clive" did not place first in the contest, but the judge favored the play<br />
to a very great extent. He complimented <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s representatives for the fine way<br />
in which they acted their parts, and also remarked that the play was really too difficult<br />
for a high school production.<br />
True, the characters <strong>of</strong> the play must and should be complimented for their<br />
ability as displayed on February 18, and also upon other occasions when they had<br />
chances to present the play. They went to Lombard and presented the play at an<br />
assembly <strong>of</strong> the college, and also presented it at the Congregational Church for a<br />
ladies' club.<br />
As yet this article has dealt only with the characters themselves—but there is<br />
one person whom we cannot forget when we mention "Kitty Clive"—Miss Ericsson.<br />
Miss Ericsson worked very hard to make this play a success, and it was largely<br />
through her efforts that this group made the fine showing that it did in Princeton.

T HIS year in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School a new club was organized—the Latin Club.<br />
This is the first time in the history <strong>of</strong> the high school that a club has been<br />
organized to interest the pupils more in the subjects they are studying. We<br />
think that it is a good plan.<br />
The club has a very capable set <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers. No wonder its meetings are so very<br />
interesting and the club has accomplished so much in the Latin field this year.<br />
Not only the <strong>of</strong>ficers and members are responsible for the success <strong>of</strong> this newly<br />
organized club, but the adviser, Miss Slusher, has been an inspiration for success.<br />
May future years spell success plus for you—Latin Club members.<br />

The Kewanite<br />
Affirmative Debate Team<br />
Big 9 Debate Champions<br />
Captain—<br />
Alternate,<br />
FOR the last two years <strong>Kewanee</strong> has placed in the "Big:<br />
Nine" finals—the last time taking first place. When<br />
Mr. Kronenberg issued the call for debate this year he<br />
had two veterans back on the affirmative team. After preliminary<br />
try-outs six persons were picked to contest for the<br />
affirmative positions. They were: Robert Hayward, Roy<br />
Bottorff, Sterl Bowen, Byron Bruner, Richard Murray, and<br />
John Butter wick. After a long struggle, Robert Hayward,<br />
Roy Bottorff, and Sterl Bowen survived the final decision.<br />
Byron Bruner was picked as alternate.<br />
On February 25, they met the Mendota negative, and<br />
after a very close debate they lost the decision. This was<br />
a preliminary debate and had no effect on the "Big Nine"<br />
standing.<br />
On March 15 the affirmative invaded Geneseo and lost by<br />
a very close decision <strong>of</strong> 89 to 90. The debate 1 was so close<br />
that it was only personal technique that gave the debate to<br />
Geneseo. Geneseo, who had previously loaded for <strong>Kewanee</strong>,<br />
and had very mysteriously anticipated their arguments,<br />
planned to overwhelm <strong>Kewanee</strong>, and by defeating Princeton<br />
to win the district. They were badly fooled. Princeton beat<br />
ROBERT HAYWARD<br />
ROY BOTTORFF<br />
_STERL BOWEN<br />
..BYRON BRUNER<br />
them 90 to 86, and <strong>Kewanee</strong> came very near to routing<br />
them, but the affirmative had started the guns too late.<br />
The affirmative then proceeded to revise their entire argument,<br />
and on March 25 they beat Moline. This was the<br />
climax and was a decisive victory for <strong>Kewanee</strong>. Although<br />
winning by 95 to 94, the affirmative showed great reserve<br />
strength. Robert Hayward, the new member <strong>of</strong> the team,<br />
showed his ability in this debate.<br />
By virtue <strong>of</strong> a dual debate victory, <strong>Kewanee</strong> won the<br />
"liig Nine" debate championship for the second successive<br />
year, and hence entered the State debate at Bloomington.<br />
The affirmative case was again revised, but lost to Davenport<br />
2 to 1 in a trial debate. We are confident that the<br />
affirmative will go well in the State debate.<br />
In closing, it would be well to mention our r.plenJid<br />
coach—Mr. Kronenberg. Coaches may come and go, but<br />
we are confident that Mr. Kronenberg was the best liked<br />
and most able coach that K. H. S. has had. Mr. Kronenberg<br />
was the power behind the throne and was directly responsible<br />
for all our successes. We are sure that with a coach<br />
like Mr. Kronenberg, <strong>Kewanee</strong> will have real debate teams<br />
in the future.

Negative Debate Team<br />
Big 9 Debate Champions<br />
Captain.^<br />
Alternate._-<br />
THE Debating Club <strong>of</strong> the school has had the largest<br />
membership the lastvtwo years than at any time since<br />
its organization. The increased interest in debating may<br />
be accounted for by the fact that the "Big Nine" championship<br />
was won last year.<br />
From the large number <strong>of</strong> members who had given evidence<br />
<strong>of</strong> having prowess in debating, a squad <strong>of</strong> twelve<br />
candidates were chosen. Work on the question for debate<br />
this year was begun immediately, material was procured<br />
and poured over eagerly, and finally the speeches were<br />
written. Out <strong>of</strong> the six candidates for the negative team,<br />
Josephine Alvis, Richard Murray, William Bishop, James<br />
Talbot, Harris Kemp, and Arnold Lippert, Talbot, Kemp,<br />
and Lippert were picked to defend, the negative side <strong>of</strong> the<br />
question. Arnold Lippert was elected captain <strong>of</strong> the team,<br />
and he and his colleagues developed a strong and formidable<br />
negative team.<br />
The first debate <strong>of</strong> the season was a preliminary debate<br />
with Mendota, which does not belong to the Big Nine Conference,<br />
to try their metal on another team. The one-judge<br />
or judge-critic system was used, and both teams lost to Mendota.<br />
The negative learned a few things in this debate, and<br />

proceeded to revise their speeches somewhat before the nexl<br />
debate, which was the first <strong>of</strong> the Big Nine schedule. Several<br />
weeks were spent in preparation for this event, and<br />
both teams went to Galeshurg to hear Lombard College and<br />
Augustana debate the same question. More information was<br />
uncovered at this debate and the negative team returned<br />
home stronger than ever to defeat Princeton's affirmative<br />
quite decisively. The judge was Shaw, <strong>of</strong> Knox, who gave<br />
the negative team almost every point, and complimented<br />
them on their clear, concise speeches and method <strong>of</strong> delivery.<br />
The affirmative team was defeated by Gcneseo, but<br />
gained the district championship on percentage.<br />
The negative proceeded to make their speeches more impregnable<br />
than ever, and shortly after the affirmative team<br />
defeated Mo line in the afternoon <strong>of</strong> March 25, and in the<br />
evening the negative downed Monmouth, winning the championship<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Big Nine for two consecutive years. The<br />
negative beat Davenport 2 to I in a dual debate and then<br />
entered the State meet at Bloommgton.<br />
Much credit goes to Coach Henry Kronenberg, whose<br />
patience and excellent coaching were important factors in<br />
turning out a winning team.

T HE year <strong>of</strong> <strong>1927</strong> has been another successful year for the Debate Club.<br />
The subject for debate this year was: Resolved: That a Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Education with a Secretary in the President's cabinet should be added to the<br />
executive department <strong>of</strong> the United States Government.<br />
As was done last year, a debate squad <strong>of</strong> twelve was selected by the debate<br />
coach. The members <strong>of</strong> this squad were: Josephine Alvis, Byron Bruner, John<br />
Butterwick, William Bishop, Sterl Bowen, Roy Bottorff, Theodore Griggs, Robert<br />
Hayward, Arnold Lippert, Richard Murray, James Talbot, and Harris Kemp. These<br />
members worked diligently on the question for debate until a short time before the<br />
contests were to be held. Then the coach picked the teams from this group.<br />
The teams picked were: Affirmative—Robert Hayward, Sterl Bowen, and Roy<br />
Bottorff. The Negative team was—James Talbot, Harris Kemp, and Arnold Lippert.<br />
These boys worked hard on debate and made the student body proud <strong>of</strong> them<br />
for the splendid showing they made in "Big Nine."<br />
A great deal <strong>of</strong> credit is due to our coach, Mr. Kronenberg, who gave his time<br />
and effort to produce a winning debate team. Also to the debate squad, who worked<br />
along with and helped the team whenever possible.
Declamatory<br />
IN a preliminary contest Helen Keller and<br />
Edward Ellis were chosen by the competent<br />
judges to represent <strong>Kewanee</strong> High<br />
School in the "Big Nine" declam. Helen selection<br />
was "Mercedes," and the one Edward gave<br />
was "Little Gentleman."<br />
The boys' contest was held at Princeton, and<br />
Edward went there to do his best for his school.<br />
He did not place, but nevertheless we are proud<br />
<strong>of</strong> the fine way in which he represented us.<br />
Our girl entry went to Moline to test her<br />
skill against that <strong>of</strong> other girls and to do her<br />
best for her school. Her best was good enough,<br />
too, for she met with success. Helen excelled<br />
herself and brought home a third place.<br />
Soon comes the Henry Count}' meet, and our<br />
speakers this year are Lillian Tietz and James<br />
Fulton.<br />
Not only to the speakers is credit due. Each<br />
speaker required careful training, and this<br />
supreme training was given by Miss Brown,<br />
who has been a great inspiration.<br />
flf <strong>1927</strong><br />
Extemporaneous<br />
A T AN elimination assembly held the latter<br />
part <strong>of</strong> March this year, Richard<br />
Murray was chosen as <strong>Kewanee</strong> High<br />
School's representative for the "Big Nine" extemporaneous<br />
speaking contest.<br />
The question Richard spoke on was, "America<br />
and Nicaragua."<br />
He was our representative last year, but did<br />
not place in the contest. He has excelled himself<br />
this year and we are sure that wherever he<br />
goes this year for the "Big Nine" he will win<br />
a place for himself without any difficulty.<br />
Perhaps the reason we are so confident that<br />
"Dick" will win is because we know the splendid<br />
coaching he has had. Each year Miss Terrill,<br />
the ever-faithful coach, works hard to aid<br />
the boys that come out for "extemp." Her aid<br />
always seems an inspiration, and for that reason<br />
we have a very good "extemp" speaker. We all<br />
appreciate more than we can print on paper,<br />
Miss Terrill and the aid she skives to the students,<br />
that the}' may bring more honors to<br />

very successful year. The aims and standards <strong>of</strong> this organization have been<br />
realized and lived up to better than ever this year.<br />
The members <strong>of</strong> this club have enjoyed many supper meetings alone and in<br />
conjunction with the Red Triangle Club. They also entertained a group <strong>of</strong> Hi-Y<br />
fellows from Galesburg at a supper, which 1 was followed by a regular meeting and<br />
a lot ot fun.<br />
Again this year the Four C's campaign was launched and carried over. This<br />
year, however, the campaign was decidedly different from ,the one held last year,<br />
and we think that the one this year was much the better.<br />
The Hi-Y Club has accomplished more than ever this year, which seems to<br />
spell "Success" for everyone—and <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School is proud to have such an<br />
organization as the Hi-Y to call her own.

T HE Red Triangle Club is in reality the junior Hi-Y. It is composed <strong>of</strong> a very<br />
select group <strong>of</strong> boys from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The new members<br />
are selected by a unanimous vote <strong>of</strong> the old members and the approval <strong>of</strong><br />
the adviser, Mr. McMorris.<br />
This organization has enjoyed many club supper meetings alone and also joint<br />
supper meetings with the Hi-Y fellows. They meet every other week on Tuesday<br />
night and after the "eats" a business meeting is held, after which a social hour<br />
is enjoyed.<br />
The Red Triangle fellows were advocaters <strong>of</strong> the Four C's campaign. They<br />
aided the Hi-Y boys materially in the great success that the campaign achieved.<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> High School is proud <strong>of</strong> her Red Triangle organization and we hope<br />
that the future clubs may turn out as splendid Hi-Y boys as the past clubs have. It<br />
is in this club that the real training for Hi-Y is begun, and every boy gets training<br />
that he should be proud <strong>of</strong>.

were there playing in their usual style <strong>of</strong> perfection and putting pep into the<br />
crowd. This year, with the help <strong>of</strong> the Student Federation and the student body,<br />
our boys were able to secure uniforms. The wish <strong>of</strong> past and present classes to have<br />
a uniformed band in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School has been realized. And when we see<br />
our band in uniform and hear them play, we are justly proud <strong>of</strong> every member.<br />

increased in size, but its music has increased in tone and quality. After their wonderful<br />
showing last year, none <strong>of</strong> us thought there was any room for improvement,<br />
but the fellows have worked hand-in-hand with Mr. Collins and have surprised by<br />
the superior quality <strong>of</strong> their music. We expect a great deal from the orchestra in<br />

TWO years ago the music authorities <strong>of</strong> Kewance High<br />
School decided that to have better Glee Clubs they<br />
would organize a Chorus Class as a means <strong>of</strong> preparatory<br />
work for the Glee Club. This was done, and as a<br />
result <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School has had better Glee Clubs. The<br />
people in this class are as a rule those that intend to join<br />
the Glee Club at some future date and need one semester's<br />
work in chorus for entrance requirements.<br />
This year the class has been much smaller than has been<br />
the case in the two former years. The complete roll <strong>of</strong> tin<br />
class this year numbered only seventeen. I lowever, this<br />

The Kewanite<br />
Junior Class Play, <strong>1927</strong><br />
"The Goose Hangs High"<br />
THIS clever modern three-act play, written by the famous<br />
Lewis Beach, was presented by the Junior class <strong>of</strong> <strong>1927</strong><br />
at the Peerless theater on March 19, 1926. It proved<br />
to be one <strong>of</strong> the finest amateur productions ever produced<br />
in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School, and the Class <strong>of</strong> '27 is proud <strong>of</strong><br />
the wonderful<br />
their class.<br />
record the cast made for themselves and<br />
The story centers around a very modern American family.<br />
Bernard and Eunice Ingals, the father and mother, are<br />
people who have practically sacrificed their lives that their<br />
children might live lives free from care and anxiety. The<br />
children, seemingly, do not realize this, but when their<br />

parents are confronted by financial difficulties and they fully<br />
realize the seriousness <strong>of</strong> the situation, they prove their love<br />
and appreciation by working and planning and making<br />
things turn out for the best. Of course, there is the sweet<br />
old lady present, who has no use for modern ways, and little<br />
use for modern people—the grandmother. But she, too,<br />
helps to make things take a turn for the better. Finally,<br />
Ingals' life-long ambition to go in business with Noel<br />
Derby, is realized, and <strong>of</strong> course the family lives happily<br />
ever after.<br />
Credit for the success <strong>of</strong> the play goes not only to the<br />
talented cast, but also to Mr. Shaver, the able coach, and to<br />

THIS w;is one <strong>of</strong> the most brilliant and well-acted plays ever presented by a<br />
Junior class <strong>of</strong> K. H. S. We are very proud <strong>of</strong> the people that worked so hard<br />
to make this play the success that it was.<br />
"The New Poor" is a clever farce in three acts, by the famous playwright,<br />
Cosmo Hamilton.<br />
The action <strong>of</strong> this play takes place in the luxurious country home <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Wellbys. Soon after the arrival <strong>of</strong> the family in their country home the)' find themselves<br />
minus any servants, due to a "walk-out" by the complete staff. Alice Wellby,<br />
the only business-like girl in the family, takes it upon herself to obtain the desired<br />
servants. She does so, and the servants that appear are supposedly Russian nobles<br />
who have escaped to this country. The love affairs between the servants and the son<br />
and daughters <strong>of</strong> the Wellby family prove very interesting and decidedly amusing.<br />
They are still more amusing when Mary Maudsley, a writer <strong>of</strong> detective stories,<br />
who is a guest at the Wellby home, and Kirk O'Farrell, a detective, attempt to<br />
meddle with the family affairs.<br />
Everything turns out perfectly and the Russian nobles prove to be college students<br />
who are earning money to go to school by working during the summer, and,<br />
<strong>of</strong> course, the romances are not shattered, and we judge that they will live happily<br />
ever after.<br />
Credit for the success <strong>of</strong> this play goes not only to the dramatic artists <strong>of</strong> the<br />
class, but also to the capable coach, Mr. Wilson, the adviser, Miss Dikeman, and to<br />
the loyal members <strong>of</strong> the Class <strong>of</strong> '28.

FIRST SQUAD<br />
Football Season<br />
WITH the great 51 to 0 defeat <strong>of</strong> the old rivals, Princeton, on Thanksgiving<br />
da}', the <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School football team rang down the curtain on the<br />
most successful season on the gridiron ever recorded by the Orange and<br />
Black. With a total <strong>of</strong> nine games won and only one lost, and that in the beginning<br />
<strong>of</strong> the season, and a total <strong>of</strong> 204 points to the opponents' 27, it surpassed<br />
even the famous team <strong>of</strong> 191 I. The totals rolled up against the opponents shows<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> fight and "never-say-die" spirit instilled by Coach Slimmer that the<br />
team exhibited all year.<br />
Many records and traditions <strong>of</strong> long years' standing were broken by the Slimmer<br />
aggregation <strong>of</strong> 1926. Among these the 30 to o defeat <strong>of</strong> Rock Island stands<br />
supreme, because they had never been defeated by a <strong>Kewanee</strong> team since 191 I,<br />
when the now famous Coach Spears captained the team, and made the lone touchdown<br />
that meant the victory. This year, with not as heavy a team, but with a<br />
fighting bunch <strong>of</strong> "boilermakers" that could not be stopped, the trick was turned<br />
again. Many Davenport papers :and other publications hailed <strong>Kewanee</strong> as "potential<br />
state champions," and stated that "<strong>Kewanee</strong> played like a college team."<br />
The 19 to 6 upset <strong>of</strong> Galesburg was also one <strong>of</strong> the high lights <strong>of</strong> the season<br />
because they had never been defeated since 1914. This year the}' were turned back<br />
by the Orange and Black with a stinging defeat that was made even more so when<br />
it was accomplished with seven <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kewanee</strong> regulars out <strong>of</strong> the game with<br />
injuries.<br />
Spring Valley, always one <strong>of</strong> the toughest teams on the schedule, and with an<br />
unusually good team this year, that had not even been scored upon until the <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
game, was beaten to the tune <strong>of</strong> 27 to 13 in one <strong>of</strong> the hardest struggles that <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
went through all year. In the remainder <strong>of</strong> the season Spring Valley was<br />
only scored on once more and that by Joliet in the last game <strong>of</strong> the season.<br />
Toulon, who in 1925 beat <strong>Kewanee</strong> on their home field by a 23 to o count,<br />
went home this year on the short end <strong>of</strong> a 49 to o score, having taken one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
worst whippings that any Toulon team has been forced to take in many long years.<br />
To make the victory even more remarkable, this was the only game that Toulon lost<br />
all year.

SECOND SQUAD<br />
Football Season—Continued<br />
Other teams that big scores were rolled up against were also teams that had<br />
in the past either beaten or tied Kewance. Galva was beaten 51 to o after tying<br />
the 1925 team, and Geneseo was taken into camp by a 26 to o score. In this<br />
Geneseo game, not one first team man entered the game. From the first whistle<br />
to the last, the seconds played the Green ami White <strong>of</strong>f their feet and did jt in<br />
good fashion. At Monmouth, with three <strong>of</strong> the first team men on the sidelines,<br />
the score was only 7 to 0 at the end <strong>of</strong> the half for <strong>Kewanee</strong>, but when these men<br />
went in and the, game started, the Orange and Black ran up a score <strong>of</strong> 38 to o by<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
The big thing that made the unusual success <strong>of</strong> the football team was the way<br />
every man played team-work and co-operated with every other man on the team.<br />
At the beginning <strong>of</strong> the year not much was expected <strong>of</strong> the green bunch that<br />
greeted Coach Slimmer on his first call, but in a few short weeks this same green<br />
bunch had been developed into one <strong>of</strong> the most feared teams in Illinois. By virtue<br />
<strong>of</strong> the victories gained, the team won the state district championship and made a<br />
strong bid for the state title.<br />
Despite the unusual prevailing conditions and mud all year, the <strong>Kewanee</strong> High<br />
School eleven <strong>of</strong> 1926 "came thorugh" and made one <strong>of</strong> the greatest records the<br />
school has ever had.<br />

Athletic Managers<br />
William Jenkins, the ever dependable "Bill," who<br />
was considered as one <strong>of</strong> the best managers that <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
has ever had, did excellent work during the football<br />
and part <strong>of</strong> the basketball season, but was unable<br />
to finish his duties because <strong>of</strong> dropping school at the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the first semester.<br />
The Coach<br />
With the procuring <strong>of</strong> Coach Slimmer to direct the<br />
athletic endeavors <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School athletics,<br />
the Orange and Black took a sudden and decisive upward<br />
trend. With the mediocre teams <strong>of</strong> last year,<br />
the improvement went on and this year <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
reached the peak <strong>of</strong> its athletics for over ten years. In<br />
the last fifteen years no team can equal the football<br />
team <strong>of</strong> 1926, and basketball was nearly on a par. All<br />
this is reflected in Coach Slimmer, a product <strong>of</strong> the<br />
famous Zuppke, and a member <strong>of</strong> the fighting Illini <strong>of</strong><br />
1924. This ol' fight instilled in the coach and subsequently<br />
instilled into his teams, was the main thing that<br />
raised them from an "also ran" to the championship<br />
calibre. Here's to our coach! Long may he reign.<br />
Richard Murray.— Just when it seemed as if there<br />
would be no available manager to take the place <strong>of</strong> Bill<br />
and do it in the same conscientious way, "Dick" loomed<br />
on the horizon and finished out the year. He kept up<br />
the same spirit in the team anil the school that Jenkins<br />
did before him, and was noted as one <strong>of</strong> the hardest<br />
workers <strong>Kewanee</strong> High has yet had.

FIRST SQUAD<br />
Basketball Review<br />
WITH the coming <strong>of</strong> Thanksgiving and the subsequent ending <strong>of</strong> football<br />
season, the moleskins were laid away and all attention turned to the cage<br />
sport—basketball. The team was called out for practice just a few days<br />
after the vacation with everyone determined to go through a good season in basketball—to<br />
go along with the excellent record made in football. No one really gave<br />
the team much <strong>of</strong> a chance for accomplishing this, however, because it had been<br />
so long since <strong>Kewanee</strong> had had a successful cage outfit that it did not seem possible.<br />
But the unthought <strong>of</strong> happened, and during the winter months, with only two letter<br />
men back, Coach Slimmer molded a team that went through a season <strong>of</strong> seventeen<br />
games and lost only three. Two <strong>of</strong> the three defeats were suffered on foreign floors<br />
and were avenged when the opponents came to <strong>Kewanee</strong>. The defeats were suffered<br />
at the hands <strong>of</strong> Abingdon, Orion, and Galesburg. In following games both <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first two were defeated by large scores.<br />
This record <strong>of</strong> fourteen games won and only three lost is the best that a<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> team has made in basketball for a number <strong>of</strong> years and one that probably<br />
will not be equaled for some time to come.<br />
The fact that <strong>Kewanee</strong> defeated such teams as Visitation,<br />
Victoria, Alpha, and Woodhull, Princeton,<br />
Wethersfield, and Cambridge twice, and Geneseo<br />
three times, showed the splendid calibre <strong>of</strong> our<br />
basketball team.<br />
It is a curious fact, though, about the team<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1926-27 that although they went good in single<br />
games, they could not reach the same style <strong>of</strong><br />
play in tournaments. In the Henry County tournament,<br />
which was lost to Alpha in the last game,<br />
everything went well until this last encounter,<br />
and notwithstanding that <strong>Kewanee</strong> had beaten this<br />
team once, they went down in defeat by a large<br />
score. The same thing happened in the Galesburg<br />
tournament, when a close two points won for<br />
Knoxville over the Orange and Black.<br />
It was, however, the best season in scheduled<br />
games that a <strong>Kewanee</strong> team has ever had, and<br />
Cheer Lender one that the school can well be proud <strong>of</strong>.
<strong>1927</strong> The KEWANITE 87<br />
SECOND SQUAD<br />
Basketball Tournaments<br />
ALTHOUGH a mighty hard team to beat in most <strong>of</strong> their games, the basketball<br />
team did not play their usual game in the tournaments in which they engaged,<br />
and consequently only placed second in the county tourney, when they should<br />
have had a first.<br />
The first tournament was the Pontiac invitational tournament at Pontiac during<br />
the Christmas vacation. <strong>Kewanee</strong> was the victim <strong>of</strong> an unfortunate schedule in<br />
this tourney in picking the hard-playing Pekin five for the first game. In spite <strong>of</strong><br />
the odds against them, Slimmer's men showed up well and held them to a close score.<br />
In the first game <strong>of</strong> the Henry County tournament <strong>Kewanee</strong> beat Geneseo, and<br />
then downed the fast Cambridge five. The next game was with Orion, where the<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> men were the under dogs, but after a fast finish a victory was hung up by<br />
a two-point margin. <strong>Kewanee</strong> then lost to Alpha after four hectic quarters.<br />
The last tournament <strong>of</strong> the season at Galesburg proved to be disastrous for<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong>. After playing Knoxville to a standstill and the<br />
score 9 to 6 at the half, the opponents came back and won the<br />
game by a score <strong>of</strong> 12 to 10., thus cutting <strong>of</strong>f <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s<br />
chances at a district title and ending the season for <strong>Kewanee</strong>.<br />

THE Junior girls, holding up the honor <strong>of</strong> their class, decisively defeated all<br />
their adversaries in the girls' tournament, and brought a much-needed championship<br />
to their class.<br />
The Seniors' fast sextette won second in the tourney, their only defeat being<br />
by the champions in the last game <strong>of</strong> the series. This last game was a battle all<br />
through, but the Seniors were not a match for the champions and the game ended<br />
with the Juniors on the long end <strong>of</strong> the score.

F OR the first time in the history <strong>of</strong> the inter-class, the tournament ended in a<br />
triple tie between the Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. The Juniors were<br />
beaten by every team. In the last game <strong>of</strong> the tourney when it seemed certain<br />
that they would win, the Seniors blew up and lost to the Sophomores, after going<br />
through the rest <strong>of</strong> the games undefeated. As it was impossible to pick the winners<br />
when each had lost one game and had won two, all three were declared to be in a<br />
tie for the title.

BECAUSE it comes too late for this year's Kewnnite, the track activities must<br />
he confined largely to last year's team. The outlook for a 2;ood team for this<br />
year with the letter men left from last year, is unusually bright, and all that<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> fans are hoping for is one that will be on a par with last year's. Last<br />
year's track team was the best that <strong>Kewanee</strong> has put on the field since 1916, and<br />
during the year brought home man)' trophies to tell <strong>of</strong> the honors they won.<br />

SENIOR-FRESHMAN RECEPTION<br />
The Class <strong>of</strong> 1930 was entertained by the<br />
Class <strong>of</strong> '27 in the social room October 1, 1926.<br />
The social room was prettily decorated in<br />
the Freshman colors, which are green and<br />
white.<br />
As each guest arrived he was given a small<br />
paper pig and was requested to find the group<br />
where his color was in evidence. After each<br />
one had made himself acquainted with the others<br />
in his group, the program started.<br />
The Senior class president, Theodore Griggs,<br />
welcomed the Class <strong>of</strong> '30. A response was<br />
made by Bert Carlson, president <strong>of</strong> the Freshman<br />
class.<br />
The following program was given:<br />

Delicious refreshments <strong>of</strong> green and white<br />

candies were served.<br />
After the reception the Freshmen said that<br />
they were even more determined to make their<br />
high school career a success, after the splendid<br />
spirit that was shown toward them by the<br />
Seniors.<br />
JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION<br />
On the evening <strong>of</strong> May 28, 1926, the Junior<br />
class <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong> High entertained the Seniors<br />
at a reception. With dancing, favors, programs,<br />
and such, everyone had a very fine time.<br />
The gymnasium was decorated as a jungle.<br />
Hanging grasses and festoons made it seem like<br />
a corner <strong>of</strong> native Africa. There were even<br />
little toy monkeys hanging on the make-believe<br />
trees. Only the youth, beauty, and color, and<br />
Wally Standard's orchestra made it a modern<br />
jungle.<br />
Everyone loves to dance midst confetti and<br />
balloons, so that phase <strong>of</strong> the evening was enjoyed<br />
to the fullest extent. Between dances the<br />
Juniors presented a varied program. At the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> the evening Sterl Bowen, Junior<br />
class president, made a speech <strong>of</strong> welcome and<br />
farewell to the Seniors. Raymond Larson, the<br />
Senior class president, gave a fitting reply.<br />
During the evening dainty refreshments were<br />
served. The dancing continued until a late<br />
hour. All departed feeling that they had the<br />
best and merriest time <strong>of</strong> their lives.<br />
SENIOR SHOCKS<br />
"Eight Big Shocks!" "Eight Big Shocks!"<br />
"Wasn't it the best Orpheum ever given?'<br />
That is what everybody said. The high school<br />
auditorium was packet, and some who came late<br />
were obliged to stand.<br />
At 8:15 the curtain was pulled back for the<br />
big Shocks. The Shocks consisted <strong>of</strong>:<br />
The Toy Shop<br />
Lend Me Four Bits<br />

The success <strong>of</strong> the Senior Orpheum was due<br />
to the efforts <strong>of</strong> Miss Fuller, class adviser, and<br />
to the committee in charge, composed <strong>of</strong> Kathryn<br />
Behr, chairman; Theodore Griggs, Warren<br />
Heaps, Alice Chapman, and Grace Coplan.<br />

witches, cats, and oh, just loads <strong>of</strong> spooky decorations.<br />
A prize was awarded to the person who wore<br />
the best costume. Dorothy Larson won the<br />
prize. Her costume was "Little Red Riding<br />
Hood."<br />
After eating, playing games, 'neverything,<br />
they all departed for home.<br />
The eats? Oh, they were scrumptous. There<br />
was pumpkin pie, apples, candy, and cider.

NORTHEASTERN MUSICAL<br />
CONFERENCE<br />
A group <strong>of</strong> people from the Boys' and Girls'<br />
Glee Clubs were selected to go to the Northeastern<br />
Musical Supervisors' Conference, which<br />
was held at Springfield, 111., April 11 to 16.<br />
The eight students who went worked very<br />
hard while they were gone, but they also had<br />
a most enjoyable time and the) 1 brought back<br />
honors to <strong>Kewanee</strong> High.<br />
The band and chorus, which was made up<br />
<strong>of</strong> 250 members, was selected from the ten<br />
states <strong>of</strong> the northeastern section. They broadcasted<br />
a very pleasing program over the radio<br />
Friday afternoon, April 15.<br />
Those who represented <strong>Kewanee</strong> were: Byron<br />
Bruner, Hazel Sparling, Edla Sandberg,<br />
Doris Guest, Walter Miles, Theodore Griggs,<br />
Morris Smith, and Reggie Staplin.<br />
Theodore Griggs was chosen, out <strong>of</strong> ten<br />
other states, to sing the tenor solo.<br />
THE FRESHMAN PARTY<br />
Did you hear about the fine time the Freshmen<br />
had at their party, held January 21? The<br />
faculty members had a good time, too. Just<br />
ask Mr. Koch.<br />
At the first <strong>of</strong> the evening, one <strong>of</strong> the girls<br />
on the entertainment committee pinned on each<br />
one a slip <strong>of</strong> paper, on which was the name <strong>of</strong><br />
a song. The Freshmen went around the room,<br />
passing by one another, looking at their song,<br />
and if the)- knew it they were to sing that tune.<br />
This was to get acquainted with one another.<br />
Another event was telling the oldest joke<br />
they knew. Mr. Stronks told one he said he<br />
had heard fifty years ago. Is this true, Mr.<br />
Stronks? Mr. Bruner told one, too, but he said<br />
he heard his oldest joke on])' forty-nine years<br />
ago.<br />
After the entertainment, dainty refreshments<br />
were served.<br />
RED TRIANGLE CO-ED PARTY<br />
The Red Triangle Club entertained the coeds<br />
at a part)' in April. They went to the Peerless<br />
and then to Wagoner's Chocolate Shop for<br />
refreshments.<br />
Just about everyone was equipped with a<br />
date, so there was no reason for a dull time.<br />
Even some <strong>of</strong> our boys who never had dates<br />
before, got real brave and asked some nice little<br />
lassie for a date.<br />
SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY<br />
Yea Sophs! Yea Sophs! Yea, Yea, Sophomores!<br />
! !<br />
Friday, April 22, our big blow-out was held,<br />
and it wasn't a blow-up, either. Nearly one<br />
hundred came and enjoyed something that was<br />
just a little different from the usual thing.<br />
The entertainment was furnished by the<br />
guests themselves, which took the form <strong>of</strong><br />
Olympic games. There were seven nations reprecented.<br />
Various contests were held, such as<br />
the discus throw, international relay, chalk line<br />
race and faculty relay.<br />
The climax <strong>of</strong> the evening came when Mr.<br />
Koch captured a much coveted prize by performing<br />
in a most fantastic manner. A representative<br />
<strong>of</strong> each country was supposed to show<br />
the favorite sport or pastime <strong>of</strong> his land wholly<br />
by actions. When Mr. Koch went through the<br />
actions <strong>of</strong> a toreador fighting an infuriated bull,<br />
it was so realistic that the spectators were carried<br />
away by his noble bearing and lithe agility.<br />
Tremendous applause greeted the slaying <strong>of</strong> the<br />
long-horn and the judges proclaimed him victor.<br />
Priceless medals were bestowed upon the<br />
champions <strong>of</strong> each event. After all the contests<br />
were over, Alaska was presented with the<br />
$10,000 silver loving cup for having five<br />
champions. Mr. Kronenberg having won four<br />
<strong>of</strong> these, received the prize, and he made an<br />
appropriate speech <strong>of</strong> thanks.<br />
Everyone had worked up an enormous appetite<br />
by this time, and the refreshments were<br />
hailed with delight. We sure are sorry you<br />
weren't there to enjoy yourselves and see the<br />
bull fight as pictured by the most famous faculty<br />
actor.<br />
HI-Y CO-ED BANQUET<br />
On the evening <strong>of</strong> April 19, the Hi-Y Club<br />
entertained the girls at a 6:00 o'clock banquet<br />
at the Christian church. As the guests entered<br />
each one was given a carnation to be pinned<br />
o.n. The girls wore white and the boys wore<br />
red.<br />
During the course <strong>of</strong> the banquet Sterl<br />
Bowen gave some very clever "table etiquette"<br />
suggestions. This was very amusing to all.<br />
Several after-dinner speeches were given by<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the Hi-Y Club. To conclude the<br />
program Mr. Koch gave an excellent talk on<br />
"Choosing Your College."<br />
The girls all agreed that the boys were royal<br />
entertainers, and their banquet was a big success.

THE BELLE OF BARCELONA<br />
A musical comedy in three acts was presented<br />
by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs on March<br />
18, <strong>1927</strong>, at Wesley Hall <strong>of</strong> the First Methodist<br />
Church. By special request it was given<br />
again on March 28.<br />
The setting <strong>of</strong> this musical coined}' is in<br />
Barcelona. The story goes thus:<br />
Margarita de Montero, the daughter <strong>of</strong> a<br />
wealthy plantation owner, has just returned<br />
home from a finishing school in Madrid. It is<br />
fiesta time in Barcelona, and the day <strong>of</strong> the<br />
season's first big bull fight. Margarita meets<br />
her friends in the plaza, where they are singing<br />
and dancing and lauding the great toreador,<br />
Emilio.<br />
Three years before, while touring the United<br />
States with her parents, Margarita met Lieutenant<br />
Harold Wright. It was "love at first sight,"<br />
but their courtship was soon interrupted by her<br />
unexpected return to Spain.<br />
Lieutenant Wright goes to Barcelona as customs<br />
inspector, and arrives at the time <strong>of</strong> the<br />
annual fiesta. On the day <strong>of</strong> Margarita's return<br />
from Madrid, as he is walking in the<br />
plaza, he finds a mantilla on which is attached<br />
a silver pin. He recognizes it as one he had<br />
given her in Washington.<br />
They meet when Margarita returns looking<br />
for her mantilla, and the old romance is resumed.<br />
Lieutenant Wright learns she has become<br />
engaged by her parents to a scheming<br />
Spanish nobleman, much against her will. He<br />
secures the aid <strong>of</strong> his friends in his efforts to<br />
break the engagement, but is opposed by the<br />
scheming nobleman and Margarita's ambitious<br />
parents.<br />
Lieutenant Wright suspects the nobleman,<br />
who is chief inspector for the Spanish government,<br />
as being responsible for certain alleged<br />
conditions existing at the custom house. He<br />
begins an investigation that leads to some surprising<br />
discoveries.<br />
The scenes that follow lead up to a climax in<br />
the third act revealing the true character <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nobleman. He pleads for mercy through Margarita's<br />
parents, which is granted after a promise<br />
to release her from the old engagement.<br />
All ends well as wedding bells proclaim<br />
Margarita's engagement to Lieutenant Wright.<br />

Our State Debaters<br />
BIG NINE champions, State <strong>District</strong> champions, and second place in the State<br />
finals, represents the laurels <strong>of</strong> the <strong>1927</strong> debate team.<br />
Prior to 192 I, <strong>Kewanee</strong> had not even won its Big Nine district in debate,<br />
but in that year it took third place in the Big Nine. In 1925 <strong>Kewanee</strong> took second<br />
place, and in 1926 first place. In <strong>1927</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong> not only took first place in the<br />
Big Nine, but first in the State <strong>District</strong> and second in the State finals. The Negative,<br />
although losing to Mendota early in the season, was the most successful <strong>of</strong> the<br />
teams. It vanquished Princeton, Monmouth, Davenport, Iowa, Riverside <strong>of</strong> Chicago,<br />
and Granite City, and at Normal was judged to be the best negative in the<br />
state <strong>of</strong> Illinois. The Affirmative triumphed over Moline, Marshall, and East<br />
Dubuque, and lost to Mendota, Geneseo, and Davenport.<br />
Second place in the State finals means as much to <strong>Kewanee</strong> as first does to<br />
Averyville. Averyville, being a smaller school, debated smaller schools such as<br />
Marshall, Spring Valley, Bridgeport, and East Dubuque, the last two teams losing<br />
every debate, while <strong>Kewanee</strong> debated such towns as Marshall, which previously was<br />
undefeated, Granite City, which had defeated East St. Louis and Belleville, and<br />
Riverside <strong>of</strong> Chicago, which had triumphed over Waukegan, Evanston, Oak Park,<br />
Morton <strong>of</strong> Cicero, and Austin High <strong>of</strong> Chicago. East Dubuque was the only easy<br />
draw <strong>of</strong> the day for <strong>Kewanee</strong>. Since <strong>Kewanee</strong> did not debate Averyville and came<br />
through undefeated, the second place trophy means more than second place, but<br />
rather a tie for first.<br />
This year marks the passing <strong>of</strong> the old regime, Bottorff, Bowen, and Lippert,<br />
which have been the nucleus <strong>of</strong> the two championship teams, and largely responsible<br />
for their success. The old regime gives place to the new, which we hope will be far<br />
better. If Mr. Kronenberg, our splendid coach, returns, we are sure that another<br />
epoch <strong>of</strong> debate history has passed, and that the future teams will have a place in<br />
the sun.<br />
Track Meet<br />
D UE to the lateness <strong>of</strong> track season, the first three meets <strong>of</strong> the year were too<br />
late to be placed in the regular track section, but we are taking this space to<br />
tell <strong>of</strong> the actfvities <strong>of</strong> the team so far this year. The meets so far this year<br />
have proven the prediction that <strong>Kewanee</strong> High is represented by the greatest array<br />
<strong>of</strong> cinder path artists than have ever donned the spikes in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High.<br />
The first meet <strong>of</strong> the year was the Milliken invitational meet held at Bloomington,<br />
by the James Milliken University, with a total <strong>of</strong> seventy-five schools<br />
entered. Out <strong>of</strong> this number <strong>of</strong> athletes the Orange and Black boys from <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
won fourth place, and were separated from the winners by only three points.<br />
Watts and Yanuskus starred in this meet, Watts with a tie for first in the<br />
pole vault, and Yanuskus with a second in the broad jump. Already this season<br />
Yanuskus has broken the school broad jump record with a leap <strong>of</strong> 20 feet, 5 inches,<br />
and has broken his own record in the 100-yard dash.<br />
In the second meet <strong>of</strong> the year, held at Bradley College, Peoria, the team did<br />
not do as good as they did in the Milliken meet, and consequently were with the<br />
"also-rans" most <strong>of</strong> the time. However, the boys showed great promise for later<br />
in the season when Yanuskus ran the 100 yards in 10.1, and Johnson won the preliminaries<br />
and semi-finals <strong>of</strong> the 220-yard low hurdles.<br />
The next meet is the Big Nine conference meet at Moline, and if the team<br />
keeps up with the same good work that they have evidenced so far, <strong>Kewanee</strong> should<br />
emerge from this meet on the long end <strong>of</strong> the score.<br />
The other meets that the team will participate in are the State Sectional meet<br />
at Moline, the State meet at Urbana, and the Henry Count}' meet at Cambridge.

HUGE GANG FIGHT STAGED OVER GIRLS<br />
UNEXPECTED<br />
VACATION FOR<br />
R. MURRAY<br />
Richard Murray, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s<br />
good-sized young gentlemen,<br />
was recently given a two-day vacation.<br />
It is claimed that Murray's<br />
memory was failing him, due to the<br />
overworking <strong>of</strong> his mind. He was<br />
given a short vacation by the<br />
Board and is getting along favorably<br />
now.<br />
Murray's memory began failing<br />
him some time ago. It became<br />
steadily worse, until the climax<br />
came when at 11:30 a bell was<br />
rung for a special assembly. Failing<br />
to remember that the bell was<br />
the signal for an assembly, and not<br />
the regular dismissal bell, Murray<br />
left the school building. On the<br />
way out he noticed that the student<br />
body was rushing to the<br />
assembly hall, but due to his fail-<br />
ing memory he forgot that he noticed<br />
this before he could draw any<br />
conclusions.<br />
The School Board, thinking that<br />
Murray should have a chance to<br />
rest and regain his lost memory,<br />
extended him the privilege <strong>of</strong> a vacation<br />
<strong>of</strong> indefinite length.<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> two days, Murray<br />
returned and convinced the principal<br />
in a long conference that his<br />
memory had recovered. He is now<br />
getting along O. K.<br />
ROYAL ORDER ORGANIZED<br />
At the Geneseo game another<br />
"Royal Order" was organized. This<br />
time it was the "Royal Order <strong>of</strong><br />
Hasacks." Hasacks is a polite<br />
name for Jassack, which is a polite<br />
name for—oh, well, a certain quadruped.<br />
Goldfish Brown elected himself<br />
General; Chester Jurwich was the<br />
"Mateless Mate," and Clayton<br />
Davis was appointed Janitor.<br />
THE WEATHER<br />
Yesterday—Fair, with cool south<br />
wind.<br />
Today—The Star-Courier predicts<br />
rain for today, so, according to the<br />
way that the weather has turned<br />
out in the past when The Star-Courier<br />
predicted rain, it will be a very<br />
fine day with plenty <strong>of</strong> sunshine<br />
and gentle breezes.<br />
Tonight—North side <strong>of</strong> town,<br />
moonshine. South side <strong>of</strong> town,<br />

Tomorrow—Wait and see.<br />
FALLS IN WELL<br />
Marie Bauer fell in a well last<br />
Saturday, and it was thought by<br />
some that she would drown before<br />
she could be rescued, as<br />
she could not swim. When rescue<br />
came, however, it was found<br />
that she was safe, as her light<br />
head had kept her afloat.<br />
Today she is none the worse<br />

STEALING OF<br />
SWEETHEARTS<br />
INSTIGATES RIOT<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the biggest gang fights<br />
ever staged in <strong>Kewanee</strong> was held<br />
March 6, <strong>1927</strong>, corner <strong>of</strong> Roosevelt<br />
and Vine streets. It was to be renewed<br />
at the Galesburg tournament,<br />
but due to some slip <strong>of</strong> memory<br />
it was overlooked and not mentioned<br />
again. Reports vary as to<br />
whether anyone was killed, but it is<br />
known that one <strong>of</strong> the Galesburg<br />
fellows has developed heart trouble<br />
as a result <strong>of</strong> the incident.<br />
Steal Sweethearts<br />
The trouble started when five<br />
Galesburg fellows came to <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
in a Ford coupe and dated up<br />
five <strong>Kewanee</strong> girls. Their steadies<br />
immediately took a hand in the<br />
matter, and all vowed to beat the<br />
Galesburg delegation into a pulp.<br />
After dilly-dallying around a<br />
while, the <strong>Kewanee</strong> army discovered<br />
that the villains were taking<br />
refuge at the Neville home on<br />
Roosevelt avenue. They immedi-<br />
man, leader <strong>of</strong> the Red Propagandists,<br />
and Elwood Hepner, leader<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Revolutionists. Their chief<br />
objection to each other is that<br />
neither allows the other enough<br />
time to talk.<br />

ADVANTAGES OF<br />
HAVING BIG NOSE<br />
By Roy Bottorff<br />
There are many advantages <strong>of</strong><br />
having a big nose, and not everyone<br />
can have one. Personally, I<br />
would not trade my good, big nose<br />
for all the stub noses like Kronenberg's<br />
in the whole world.<br />
A very useful advantage <strong>of</strong> a big<br />
nose is that you can make others<br />
believe that you are a Jew. This<br />
comes in very handy sometimes.<br />
For instance, one time when I was<br />
up in Chicago, I had to have ten<br />
dollars. So I went up to an old Jew<br />
and told him my name was Isaac<br />
Goldberg and that I was his cousin,<br />
and he immediately lent me ten<br />
dollars. By the way, I hope I never<br />
meet that Jew again.<br />
A big nose will also help you in<br />
a fight, because if anyone hits your<br />
nose he is liable to break his arm.<br />
Besides, it is much easier to poke<br />
your nose into other people's business<br />
if it is very big.<br />
However, the greatest advantage<br />
<strong>of</strong> all is that you can make more<br />
noise blowing your nose in study<br />
hall.<br />
Of course, every rose has its<br />
thorn, and there are a few drawbacks<br />
in having a big nose. The<br />
main ones are that it takes you<br />
about twice as long to wash your<br />
face, and that your nose always<br />
gets in your way when you have a<br />
date.<br />

BASKETBALL<br />
PLAYER GIVES<br />
VENT TO RAGE<br />
L. Riley, right forward on <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s<br />
basketball team, became<br />
enraged at one <strong>of</strong> Visitation's basketball<br />
men in the Visitation game.<br />
He gave vent to his rage by repeat<br />
edly bouncing the ball <strong>of</strong>f the Visitation<br />
person's head during the remainder<br />
<strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
The trouble started when Naseef,<br />
flashy forward for Visitation, tried<br />
to bite <strong>of</strong>f Riley's ear after the<br />
whistle had blown. As it is against<br />
the rules to bite <strong>of</strong>f anyone's ear<br />
after the whistle blows, Riley became<br />
riled. For revenge he<br />
bounced the ball <strong>of</strong>f the Visitation<br />
person's head several times,<br />
once bouncing it into the basket instead<br />
<strong>of</strong> shooting it in.<br />
When asked why he used this<br />
method <strong>of</strong> revenge, Riley asserted<br />
that the ball bounced good on hard<br />
wood.<br />

THE HALF-BACK OF DOTRE NAME<br />
Continued Story by Hugo Thare<br />
What went before: Archibald Oswald<br />
Aristotle, a poor boy, decided<br />
to pursue an education at Dotre<br />
Name. When he got there he determined<br />
to himself that he would<br />
carry himself like a man and not<br />
let any <strong>of</strong> those smart aleck Seniors<br />
and Juniors put anything over<br />
on him. When he got <strong>of</strong>f the train<br />
he saw a beautiful girl ride past in<br />
a car. She looked at him and<br />
smiled, and he smiled back, his<br />
ears became red, and his heart beat<br />
last. He determined then that he<br />
would win her heart and hand or<br />
die for her.<br />
She turned out to be Bertha<br />
Deadmoon, daughter <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
prominent university pr<strong>of</strong>essors.<br />
But she already had a lover, Knath-<br />
aniel Knathead, who was the son<br />
<strong>of</strong> a very rich man.<br />
"You may be very rich," said<br />
Archibald to Knat, "and I very<br />
poor, but I will win her from you."<br />
Knathaniel was a low type villain<br />
and so he got some low type friends<br />
to> haze Archibald. But Archibald<br />
was too much for them, licking<br />
them all, ten <strong>of</strong> them, single-handed,<br />
just as Bertha rolled up in her<br />
Rolls Royce. "My hero!" she said,<br />
and she took him for a ride.<br />
The next year the coach, Nute<br />
Nockne, put him on the football<br />
team, as he knew he would make a<br />
good fullback.<br />
Just before the biggest game <strong>of</strong><br />
the year Bertha gave him her<br />
handkerchief. He kissed it and<br />
placed it next to his heart. "I will<br />
think <strong>of</strong> you and play my best," he<br />
said.<br />
Now go on with the story:<br />
CHAPTER XIIIIX<br />
The game was a fierce battle. Although<br />
the Dotre Name line could<br />
not hold its opponents very well,<br />
Dotre Name always regained the<br />
lost ground when they got the ball,<br />
for Archibald would tear down the<br />
field like a hurricane, and it was<br />
almost impossible to stop him. But<br />
the score remained 0-0 until the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> the last quarter, when<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the other team's men broke<br />
away and ran ninety yards for a<br />
touchdown.<br />
The crowd was on its toes yelling.<br />
When Dotre Name got the ball<br />
again, they all yelled, "Give the<br />
ball to Archibald! Give it to Archibald!"<br />
So they gave the ball to<br />
Archie. "I must remember Bertha,"<br />
said Archie, "I will just have to do<br />
my best." So he broke away and<br />
ran four hundred yards for a touchdown.<br />
The, people all yelled and yelled.<br />
But the score was still tied. Then,<br />
with three and a half seconds to<br />
CHAPTER VXIIIZ<br />
That night Bertha and Archibald<br />
sat on the front porch.<br />
"My hero," said Bertha, "you<br />
saved the day. You won the game."<br />
"Aw," said Archie, blushing, "that<br />
wasn't nothin'." He paused a minute.<br />
"Bertha," said Archie.<br />
"What, dear?" said Archie.<br />
"It was you who made me do it.<br />
It was because I thought <strong>of</strong> you,"<br />
said Archie.<br />
"Oh, dear," said Bertha.<br />
"Bertha!" said Archie.<br />
"What, dear?" said Bertha.<br />
"I—I—I," said Archie.<br />
"Yes, dear," said Bertha.<br />
"I—I—I love you!" said Archie.<br />
"Oh, how sudden!" said Bertha.<br />
Then Archibald, although he had<br />
only been going with Bertha for a<br />
year, wrapped his arms around her<br />
and kissed her!<br />
Just then Knathanial came up on<br />
the porch with a gun.<br />
"You villain!" he said, and shot<br />
Archie in the arm.<br />
Arch, quick as lightning, kicked<br />
the gun out <strong>of</strong> Knat's hand and began<br />
to grapple with him.<br />
Just then twenty other men<br />
jumped on Archibald.<br />
(To be continued.)<br />
Will Archibald be subdued, fighting<br />
such terrible odds with one<br />
arm? See the next issue <strong>of</strong> Liverwurst.<br />

"Who goes there?"<br />
A voice in the darkness replied boldly, "None<br />

Oh! Oh! Oh! Why Tennyson! !*?!*$?<br />
"What's a holding company?" asked Kronenberg<br />
<strong>of</strong> Helen Keller in civics.<br />
"I don't know," replied Helen.<br />
"Haven't you ever heard <strong>of</strong> a 'holding company'?"<br />
asked Kronenberg in surprise.<br />
"Oh," said Helen, "I know now. Now, if I<br />
was to go down to visit Jerry, why then I would<br />
be his company, and he would be 'holding company'."<br />
Adelaide Levering—"If Monica slapped you<br />
in the face, would you slap her back?"<br />

GIRLS MAKE BOLD ADVANCES TO<br />
BASHFUL BOYS<br />
The girls <strong>of</strong> our beloved school are sinking<br />
into the depths <strong>of</strong> utter degeneration. Finding<br />
the regular routine around the school too dull,<br />
they attempt to find excitement in frightening<br />
poor little Freshman boys to death.<br />
An outstanding pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> this fact is the incident<br />
which occurred at the presentation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Dramatic Club three one-act plays. Two girls,<br />
Hazel Sparling and Willadean Reed, purposely<br />
arrived late enough to find all the good seats<br />
filled. So immediately they cruelly ousted two<br />
poor Freshman boys, Junior McLean and Chub<br />
Bronson, from their seats. Then, to climax the<br />
whole performance, Hazel Sparling, the bolder<br />
<strong>of</strong> the two, approached the front <strong>of</strong> the room<br />
a short time before she was to sing a solo. Again<br />
finding all available scats occupied, she boldly<br />
seated herself in a seat occupied by another<br />
Freshie, whose name was not learned.<br />
The Freshman, frightened thoroughly, attempted<br />
to bolt. But finding that he was completely<br />
trapped, he remained in the seat with<br />
her on the verge <strong>of</strong> fainting. In a short time<br />
Sparling left him to render her solo, but made<br />
goo-goo eyes at him several times while singing.<br />
Unable to stand it any longer, the Freshit.<br />
left. He is still in a serious condition, and according<br />
to the doctor's report he has almost<br />
experienced a nervous breakdown.<br />
"I wish someone would sock me," said the<br />
barefoot beggar.<br />
Joan McGrath—"I'd like to live in that<br />
house."<br />
M. Kuster—"That's the insane asylum."<br />
"Will there never be an end to this?" queried<br />
the Dago as he gobbled a strand <strong>of</strong> spaghetti.<br />

To save money each day<br />
And to put it away<br />
To buy shoes she knew were all leather.<br />

Will tell you he always saves more;<br />
And the goods that he buys,<br />
Are the best, in his eyes,<br />
That he's seen since he crawled on the floor.<br />
Now the reason for this, as you know,<br />
Is the fact that wherever you go,<br />

A MUSICAL ROMANCE<br />
"In a Little Spanish Town" under "Blue<br />
Skies" lived "Valencia." "My Pal Jerry" sang<br />
"I Love to Call You My Sweetheart" under<br />
her window "By the Light <strong>of</strong> the Stars." "Poor<br />
Papa" cried "Who" is there? To which "My<br />
Pal Jerry" replied, "You'd Be Surprised."<br />
Action promptly took place and "My Pal Jerry"<br />
immediately was "Breezin' Along With the<br />
Breeze," singing "Let Us Waltz As We Say<br />
Goodnight."<br />
All next day we wandered about the town,<br />
feeling "Mighty Blue," and thinking "I Never<br />
See Maggie Alone." Came the eve and under<br />
Valencia's window Jerry was saying, "I Said<br />
I'd Never Come Back, But Here I am," "Dear<br />
One." She replied all day long I've been<br />
"Thinking <strong>of</strong> You." He said, "Let Me Call<br />
You Sweetheart." She said, "Put Your Arms<br />
Where They Belong," and straightway fell out<br />
<strong>of</strong> the window. "My Pal Jerry" caught her<br />
and took her riding in his Ford underneath the<br />
"Mellow Moon." They arrived at a minister's<br />
house and upon alighting "Valencia" said,<br />
"Thanks for the Buggy Ride," and "I Love<br />
You Truly," "'Deed I Do." Where you go,<br />
"Me Too." So they were married and lived<br />
happily in "Just a Cottage Small," renewing<br />
their youth each year "When the Red, Red<br />
Robin" came bob, bob, bobbin' underneath the<br />
"Blue Skies" <strong>of</strong> spring.<br />
Madam—"Put plenty <strong>of</strong> nuts in the cake."<br />
Cook—"I'll do no such thing; me jaw hurts<br />
me already."<br />
"I'll get even," said the block <strong>of</strong> wood, as<br />
Mr. Landis planed it down.<br />
"Just one thing after another," said Mr.<br />
Verge as Kurbat came down to see Leta.<br />

HELPFUL HINTS<br />
For those who are just learning to eat peas<br />
on the back <strong>of</strong> their fork, it is suggested that<br />
they order honey with their peas. In eating the<br />
honey with the peas, if they will first clip their<br />
fork into the honey, they will find little difficulty<br />
in getting the peas to stick on the back <strong>of</strong><br />
the fork.<br />

Helen—"Yes, mama, and so has the hen."<br />
Five boys, once upon a time, went to a basketball<br />
tournament in Galesburg. When they arrived<br />
there they had no money, so they decided<br />
they would sleep outside in the car that night.<br />
Night came on, and grave difficulties presented<br />
themselves. No one could sleep, so about<br />
1 o'clock three <strong>of</strong> the young u'p-starts went out<br />
for a walk. After walking about three miles<br />
they came upon a farmhouse, all dark and quiet.<br />
The bravest <strong>of</strong> the three, one Chester Jurwich<br />
by name, knocked loudly upon the door <strong>of</strong> the<br />
house until the farmer was awakened. After<br />
taking about a half hour to dress, the farmer<br />
came downstairs and irritatedly demanded what<br />
the trouble was.<br />
"Please, mister," said Chester, "could you<br />
tell me what time it is? I want to see if my<br />
watch is right."<br />
The next paragraph <strong>of</strong> this narrative we are<br />
forced to omit, partly because <strong>of</strong> the farmer's<br />
exuberant vocabulary, and partly because we<br />
didn't care to hear what the farmer had to say.<br />

HELPFUL HINTS TO THE<br />
FRESHMEN<br />
1. Do not chew on your gum quid while<br />
the teacher is looking at you.<br />
2. Never study unless you have to.<br />
3. You do not have to raise your hand before<br />
speaking to the teacher in the halls or on<br />
the street.<br />
4. Always laugh when the teacher cracks a<br />
joke.<br />
5. The white, basin-like aperatures in the<br />
halls are drinking fountains and not receptacles<br />
for chewing gum quids.<br />
APOLOGY<br />
We wish to voice a word <strong>of</strong> apology to Roy<br />
Bottorff for making so many droll cracks about<br />
his nose. But still, his nose is one in a million,<br />
and we can't resist making cracks about it, although<br />
we know we're no cutie.<br />
By the way, just because we use the word<br />
"we" in writing up these sardonic epigrams,<br />
don't think that there are more than one <strong>of</strong> me.<br />
We just use the word "we" in speaking <strong>of</strong> myself,<br />
not because we want to fool the unwary<br />
public, but because it is the proper form, and<br />
customary in the highest circles. So don't worry<br />
about me any more, for we are one.<br />

LONG AGO<br />
It was in the days <strong>of</strong> the king's marriage.<br />
Ten thousand royal subjects were busily engaged<br />
in eating cake, as doughnuts were unknown<br />
in those days.<br />
Daniel entered the arena. "What, ho!"<br />
asked the king. "Ninth hole," cried Daniel,<br />
thus scoring a point for the commons.<br />
The king ordered Daniel to come forth.<br />
Daniel started forth but slipped on a banana<br />
peeling and came in fifth. This scored a point<br />
for the nobles.<br />
The king ordered Daniel to enter the lion's<br />
den. A lion leaped and took a firm but gentle<br />
hold <strong>of</strong> Dan's left toe. "Ouch! It tickles,"<br />
cried Dan. "What tickles?" cried the king.<br />
"My toe-tickles," cried Dan, thus scoring another<br />
point for the commons.<br />
The king then cried out, "Tapioka!" Then<br />
everyone ate a gallon, as the king's word was<br />
law in those days.<br />
The women then took out their handkerchiefs<br />
and started waving them, as was the custom<br />
in the days <strong>of</strong> yore.<br />
Those were the days, ah, yes, those were the<br />
days!<br />

A STUDENT'S DIARY<br />
Up betimes and did bethink myself that I<br />
should have a test. So industrially to making<br />
notes and writing on my noble cuffs. After<br />
eating heartily did hurry enthusiastically to<br />
school. Almost late as sign said, "School—Go<br />
Slow."<br />
I spied my favor partridge hurrying to his<br />
assembly room and bethunk myself to currying<br />
his favor by saying in an <strong>of</strong>f-hand manner,<br />
"Hellow Galen. Howsa women," This went<br />
over big and he almost knocked me down.<br />
The test did not appear and so commented<br />
sulphuriously about the lack-adaisal method <strong>of</strong><br />
teachers. Did see Gertie Day giving the boys<br />
a treat in a new suit and pondered quite seriously<br />
about the upkeep <strong>of</strong> the modern family.<br />
Home and to dinner and did chide the folks<br />
about not waiting for my arrival. Stopped in<br />
at Y. M. C. A. but Elmer Heideman had just<br />
left so there was nothing left to play with. Did<br />
stumble on my noble way to school and therefore<br />
resolved to question Jimmy Andrews<br />
about his policy <strong>of</strong> cracks in the pavement.<br />
So unto physics class where Mr. Bickford<br />
sweated hopelessly on 24 dumb Seniors and onedumber<br />
Junior. We surprised yon good looking<br />
Herbie Schamp by pouring water down his<br />
neck. The confusion was magnificent.<br />
So to study hall and pondered why Miss Terrill<br />
should teach school. Then did note, with<br />
growing interest, that Kayo Follett's feet were<br />
growing larger in direct proportion to his ears<br />
and did find he has been taking a tonic.<br />
School over, I merrily wafted my way to<br />
ice cream sale and was astounded to find myself<br />
financially embarrassed. Then did remember I<br />
had been standing near Roman Lamberty. Anyhow<br />
the calorie would have had a bad effect on<br />
my elfin form, soi I trundled merrily home.<br />
Did read the family paper and was astound-<br />

RESULTS OF KEWANITE MENTAL<br />
EFFICIENCY CONTEST<br />
Won by Mr. Everett Brown.<br />
Second place goes to S. Treveline Bowen.<br />
Third place copped by Paul Gerard.<br />
Here they are at last! The results <strong>of</strong> the big<br />
Kewanite Mental Efficiency Contest. This contest<br />
was carried on in order to determine the<br />
most intelligent and most intellectually inclined<br />
boy or girl in <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School. Mr.<br />
Brown, who won this contest, we feel.is truly<br />
the person.<br />
The contestants had to answer the following<br />
questions, which taxed their intellects to the utmost:<br />
1. State (a) Name (b) Age (if girl, public<br />
and correct-, (c) Height with vest on (b)<br />
Height with gravy on vest.<br />
2. Do you go around hatless?<br />
3. Do you think you're funny r<br />
4. Do you like the members <strong>of</strong> the opposite<br />
sex?<br />
5. Any other bad habits?<br />
6. Recognize vividly at least fourteen <strong>of</strong><br />

Mr. Brown accomplished the remarkable feat<br />
<strong>of</strong> answering ever)' one <strong>of</strong> these questions correctly.<br />
As first prize he will receive a complete<br />
leather-bound set <strong>of</strong> Shakespeare, so that' he<br />
may further enrich his intellect. S. Trevoline<br />
Bowen, who won second place, having missed<br />
one question (saying he did not think he was<br />
funny), won a bottle <strong>of</strong> listerine for his halitosis.<br />
Paul Gerard will get a box <strong>of</strong> flea powder<br />
for his dog as third prize.<br />
When asked for remarks to explain his unusual<br />
success, Mr. Brown said:<br />
"I have always, from the time I was a little<br />
boy, showed an extra large amount <strong>of</strong> brains in<br />
everything that I have done. No one who has<br />
known me for any length <strong>of</strong> time can deny<br />
that. It was my brains that won the contest."<br />
S. Trevoline Bowen said in part:<br />
"The reason that I placed so high in this<br />
contest is that my brain is in perfectly good condition.<br />
In fact, it is almost as good as new, as<br />
I have never used it."<br />
We notice that the little Central girls run<br />
relays with the boys, and they sure are fast.<br />

April 1, 1952.<br />
Dear Maggie:<br />
I want to tell you about the great personages<br />
I had the honor <strong>of</strong> meeting in the loop <strong>of</strong> that<br />
world-famous city, none other than <strong>Kewanee</strong>,<br />
Illinois.<br />
First, as I was wending my way down one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the time-honored streets—behold! What is<br />
that before my eyes? 'Tis Coach Murray himself,<br />
just in from Woodhull, thinks I. He is<br />
the worthy successor <strong>of</strong> Coach Yanuskus, who<br />
has now been promoted to the high position ot<br />
coaching in a high school <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the suburbs<br />
<strong>of</strong> this great city, namely Wethersfield.<br />
Mr. Murray was engaged in a heated argument<br />
with Referee "M." Harold Sparling.<br />
"Lucky I'm here," was what the referee was<br />
saying as I passed.<br />
Bananas Izzy Bottorff was madly gesticulating<br />
in pursuit <strong>of</strong> his mischievous Jacko. "I<br />
dunno vat iss da matter wid dat critter," says<br />
Izzy. "He iss alvays runnin' avay vrom 'is ole<br />
massder."<br />
As I was turning the corner <strong>of</strong> Beechnut<br />
and Spearmint streets, about two miles north <strong>of</strong><br />
Baker park, whom should I encounter but Veteran<br />
Debate Coach Lippert, accompanied by<br />
Trotsky Roman Lamberty on the pedal. Mr.<br />
Lamberty is the full-winded leader <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
Freaks Brass Band.<br />
Junk Dealer Herbert Schamp was fearfully<br />
and wonderfully tooting one <strong>of</strong> his horns,<br />
parked on his front porch.<br />
I heard a voice saying, "Well, it's just like<br />
this," and as I glanced back I saw Rollan Leggett,<br />
the stylish clothier, and David Horner, the<br />
dude, just rounding the corner.<br />
I have heard a lot about several other conspicuous<br />
occupants <strong>of</strong> this city, but I have not<br />
had the privilege <strong>of</strong> running across any more<br />

yet. If I happen to see any more, I will write<br />
and tell you about them.<br />
As ever,<br />
Elijah Horseradish.<br />
P. S.—I just caught a glimpse <strong>of</strong> the illustrous<br />
journalist, Sterl Bowen. He has recently<br />
become editor-in-chief <strong>of</strong> the highly renowned<br />
"<strong>Kewanee</strong> Skyrocket."<br />
WHY WOMEN ARE WOMEN<br />
You all know that boys will be boys. This<br />
theory has been handed down and accepted for<br />
generations, and needs little expounding. However,<br />
it is an altogether newer hypothesis that<br />
women are women, and leading philosophers <strong>of</strong><br />
the day have advanced the following reason:<br />
When the Lord created man, He at once<br />
perceived that He made a great mistake, for<br />
here was a creature that was destined to get<br />
along in the world without any troubles, worries,<br />
or afflictions. So He took the rib <strong>of</strong> the<br />
man and formed another creature to remedy<br />
this defect. Immediately, and ever since, this<br />
creature has been a woe to man, hence called<br />
wo-man.<br />

The surpassing value <strong>of</strong> the<br />
New and Finer Pontiac Six is<br />
the direct result <strong>of</strong> those General<br />
Motors resources and abilities<br />
available to Oakland.<br />
That great General Motors<br />
institution, the Fisher Body<br />
Corporation, created new and<br />
roomier bodies <strong>of</strong> surpassing beauty.<br />
The economies <strong>of</strong> General Motors' vast<br />
purchasing power made possible exceptional<br />
new features.<br />
Only on the General Motors Proving<br />
Ground could such stamina, speed and<br />
comfort be developed in a six so<br />
low in price.<br />
Yet despite all these extraordinary<br />
examples <strong>of</strong> extraordinary<br />
quality in design<br />
and construction—the New<br />
and Finer Pontiac Six is<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered at new low prices!<br />
Come in! See and drive<br />

Scene—Physics class, K. H. S.<br />
Time—Period V, any day.<br />
(The tinkling <strong>of</strong> a bell, followed by a rumbling<br />
noise is heard in the distance.) Enter students<br />
(?) by ones and twos until classroom is<br />
filled. Everyone is talking at the top <strong>of</strong> his<br />
voice.<br />
There is a wild confusion for five minutes,<br />
when a dashing young gentleman, with wavy<br />
black hair, dark features, and eyes that flash<br />
fire, enters. He takes a few sheets <strong>of</strong> paper, lays<br />
a book on them, and sits down on a stool behind<br />
the table. This man is our hero—R. U. BICK-<br />

R. U. Bickford (in a voice <strong>of</strong> thunder)—<br />
"LET'S HAVE IT QUIET NOW!"<br />

book thoughtfully.)<br />
Harold Hill—"Don't know. (Turns to<br />

REASONS WHY THE HOLES IN SWrSS<br />
CHEESE SHOULD BE LARGER<br />
1. You. would get more for your money<br />
when you bought a pound <strong>of</strong> cheese.<br />
2. The cheese would be easier to digest.<br />
3. The cheese would be better ventilated<br />
and consequently more healthy.<br />
REASONS WHY THE HOLES IN SWISS<br />
CHEESE SHOULD NOT BE LARGER<br />
1. Mice could easily hide in the holes in the<br />
cheese.<br />
2. The air would get in the holes and dry<br />
out the cheese too quickly.<br />
3. The cheese is really the best part <strong>of</strong><br />
Swiss cheese, not the holes, so it is better to have<br />
more cheese and less holes.<br />
4. The Swiss people would all have to<br />
change the size <strong>of</strong> the puncher with which they<br />
punch holes in the cheese. This would be an<br />
unnecessary inconvenience and expense.<br />
REASONS WHY SWITZERLAND<br />
SHOULD HAVE A NAVY<br />
1. All great powers have navies to protect<br />
their interests.<br />
2. There are rivers beginning in Switzerland<br />
which lead to every sea around Europe.<br />
Thus, although Switzerland has no coast line,<br />
it would have access to more different waters<br />
than any other country in Europe, if it had a<br />
navy.<br />
3. Many times we hear <strong>of</strong> countries sinking<br />
into the sea, and becoming entirely covered with<br />
water. If this should happen to Switzerland,<br />
the country would be ruined and the people<br />
drowned, unless they had a navy.<br />

about this," said the bolshevik as he hurled a<br />
bomb at the prime minister.<br />

<strong>1927</strong> The Kewanite<br />
The following was found by us in looking<br />
through a cheap notebook that we found in the<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice (? ) and shows the secret innermost workings<br />
<strong>of</strong> an important high school organization.<br />
Minutes <strong>of</strong> the Honorable* Class <strong>of</strong> Juniors,<br />
February 29, <strong>1927</strong>, as recorded by the acting<br />
secretary:<br />
The meeting was called to order by the president.<br />
The president then opened the meeting<br />
with some very bright cracks which he had obtained<br />
from the College Humor magazine for<br />
April, 1923. The president called for old business.<br />
Several outstanding bills, ranging from<br />
ioc to 30c were brought forward. Motion<br />
made and carried that the bills be not paid.<br />
President called for new business. The worthy<br />
Robert Witherell suggested that the class begin<br />
saving old postage stamps for next year's old<br />
paper campaign, so that they might have a<br />
chance <strong>of</strong> making a better showing than this<br />
year. This motion was made and carried. The<br />
president announced that it would only be a<br />
short time before the class would undertake a<br />
very important project—the class play. He desperately<br />
urged them, not to make a flop <strong>of</strong> this,<br />
as was the case in other projects sponsored by<br />
the class. Motion was made and carried to<br />
leave <strong>of</strong>f the last two pages <strong>of</strong> this play, so as<br />
to give the public a treat. Motion made and<br />
carried providing that members <strong>of</strong> the class play<br />
cast drop so low in their studies as to become the<br />
laughing stock <strong>of</strong> the whole school. Motion<br />
made and carried to appoint the five cleverest<br />
persons in the class on a committee to investigate<br />
and discover all possible (if any) points<br />
for the cane speech. Motion made and carried<br />
that Junior athletes should not go out for varsity<br />
track, so as to

WORRY<br />
Many girls we have in school,<br />
Many fellows, too.<br />
The girlies worry all the boys,<br />
As girls are apt to do.<br />
Now one fine lass, an Irish maid,<br />
Worries a boy named Pete;<br />
He never sleeps a wink at night,<br />
He worships at her feet!<br />
You no doubt know the little girl,<br />
Whom everyone calls "Snort."<br />
Well, Hank is worried constantly,<br />
Even if she is short.<br />
Elaine, our pretty light-haired friend,<br />
Worries them all the same.<br />
They each one thinks he is the one,<br />
But he's just in the game.<br />
Gertrude knows a boy named Bob,<br />
I guess you know him, too.<br />
She worries that man all the time;<br />
Don't you wish she'd worry you?<br />
Helen, the lady with jet black hair,<br />
Worries over Jerry Still];<br />
And she isn't feeding him a line—<br />
It's serious as a fractured skull.<br />
"Cubby" also has a beau<br />
Who worries over her.<br />
They say "Kay" watches her night and day.<br />
I wonder what it's fer?<br />
There are many other girls in school<br />
Who worry 'em right and left,<br />
But space and time prevent more rhyme;<br />
Of speech I am bereft.<br />

I. Never quote Shakespeare while describing<br />
your girl's features; people will criticize<br />
you for belittling the great dramatist.<br />
II. One little smack deserves a kiss.<br />
III. Fair One, never show your beau the<br />
family group. Remember that now man is the<br />
weaker sex.<br />
IV. Never ask for a date on a phone. She<br />
will think you are mighty little.<br />
V. Don't take your girl's arm; she needs<br />
it as bad as you do.<br />
VI. A smack at one spares few.<br />
VII. Never drive with one arm. Take your<br />
girl along.<br />
Hooray! Our Junior class president showed<br />
some sense. We hear from a reliable source<br />
that he, in league with a Senior, raised the<br />

He is quite accommodating. Maybe he wanted<br />

BIG DICK HISSELF<br />
Much has been heard <strong>of</strong> our man Murray,<br />
who was our star football player, but an affair<br />
happened in Moline which deserves honorable<br />
mention. Says Murray to a by-stander, "Could<br />
you tell me where I could find Gus Schwartz,<br />
who runs the Commercial house?" "Gus<br />
Schwartz?" says the by-stander? "Yeh," says<br />
Murray, "He used to run a meat market."<br />
"Where is he?" says the by-stander. "I bite,<br />
where is he?" says Murray. Whereupon all<br />
burst out into furious laughter. "It won't belong<br />
now," said the butcher as he cut his finger<br />
in a meat grinder.<br />
In speaking <strong>of</strong> Dick Murray's memory it<br />
is well to mention our two track men who have<br />
developed wonderful memories, James Fulton<br />
and Marvin Osborne, who ran in the 440-yard<br />
dose. These two men arrived at Moline to run<br />
the 440, but the 440 ran without them getting<br />
in the middle <strong>of</strong> the field, and since you are<br />
not allowed to cut corners in the race, they<br />
were ruled ineligible. Maybe they'll do better<br />
next year.<br />
Before we close on Murray we would like<br />
to mention his most prized <strong>of</strong> properties—his<br />
'kerchief. His 'kerchief has the most remarkable<br />
ability <strong>of</strong> mysteriously producing untold<br />
gifts. We will use an illustration. First Murray<br />
goes into a store, must wipe his nose, lays<br />
his 'kerchief down on a box <strong>of</strong> candy, wipes<br />
his nose and walks out, and when he gets a<br />
block away he has a candy bar in his 'kerchief,<br />
very mysteriously, indeed. His 'kerchief, however,<br />
does not stop with candy bars. At Atkinson<br />
it produced seven oranges, arid at East Moline<br />
an auto horn. Next it will be a Ford.<br />
Murray says his 'kerchief is not to be loaned,<br />
since if it is it will lose its magic qualities.<br />

how my light is spent,' what is meant by<br />
light?"<br />

ETIQUETTE<br />
1. Always put both elbows 011 the table.<br />
2. If you can't reach something, get up and<br />
get it.<br />
3. It is a s^ood plan to take peanuts to shows<br />
with you because if you get tired <strong>of</strong> the picture<br />
you can see how many people you can hit with<br />
the shells.<br />
4. When they pass the finger bowl, wait<br />
for the soap so you can wash to your elbows.<br />
5. It isn't necessary for a man to tip his<br />
hat unless he is very warm. He is liable to<br />
catch cold m the winter time.<br />
6. When eating in a cafeteria always shove<br />
your peas under your potatoes before reaching<br />
the cashier. It not only makes more room for<br />
other things, but helps the peas to stay on your<br />
knife.<br />
7. In eating soup one should always use a<br />
gravy ladle, held in the left hand. The ladle<br />
is very convenient as it gives the souper enough<br />
time to find out the name <strong>of</strong> the tune he is<br />
playing.<br />
8. Never eat olives with your fingers as it<br />
is unsanitary.<br />

Well, we sure must give the Juniors credit<br />
for having courage. They face class bravely,<br />
and do not fear to attempt a cane speech, although<br />
they know there is no one in their class<br />
who is anywhere near as capable <strong>of</strong> cane-speaking<br />
as our brilliant representative. Not only<br />
that, no matter how good a cane speaker the}'<br />
have, they would have nothing to talk about,<br />
so what's the use?<br />

But if you will notice, it is always a Senior<br />

with. So far "Abie" has not had much luck<br />
getting a girl, but maybe he will have some<br />

The other day while walking down the<br />
crooked walk, I met my old friend Bang. You<br />
know how Bang was—a big fellow that ends<br />
with a bang—yeh—and he sure was a radical<br />
guy.<br />
To him I says, says I, "Well, old timer, did<br />
you ever succeed in get'tin' the U. S. like Russia<br />
r" ('Cause I knew he had tried seven or<br />
eight times.)<br />
"What do you mean to be and do!" says he<br />
with a bang. And I hope you noticed it ended<br />
with an exclamation point.<br />
We walked on and sat down on a park bench<br />
and I asked him what he did for a livin'.<br />
"Well," says he to I, "I don't do much <strong>of</strong><br />
anything. I generally makes speeches about<br />
Bullshevism and am introducing a new bill in<br />
congress, I am. I'm a pretty big guy around<br />
Blowville, I am, and I can do almost anything<br />
'cause the cops are skared <strong>of</strong> me. I'm the whole<br />
cheese. I like Blowville, for it is my own town,<br />
named after me."<br />
"All I heard," says I to him, "was I-I-I-I-I."<br />
I says to him, says I, "I wonder if I were<br />
living in Blowville if I would be in the same<br />
position," says I. "But," says I, "were you a<br />
big speaker in congress?"<br />
DAINTY SANDWICHES<br />
MEALS<br />
"Well," says he to me, "all the kids thought<br />
I was to be cane speaker for the Juniors and<br />
day held an election. Before de election I goes<br />
up to the front and tells 'em I wanna say a<br />
word afore I'm elected. So I goes on anl tells<br />
'em that if I'se elected I'se gonna make it hot<br />
for de Seniors. Everybody clapped and clapped<br />
so I'se gets down to the second degree and goes<br />
to my seat."<br />
You can guess how the election came out, and<br />
all I heard was I-I-I-I-I.<br />
For the benefit <strong>of</strong> Miss Terrill, the Big Five<br />
wish to state that there are exceptions to the<br />
statement that, "A large vocabulary is good at<br />
any time or place." As one <strong>of</strong> the large waitresses<br />
hove into sight, James Talbot, in an insensible<br />
mood, remarked as to the vastness <strong>of</strong><br />
her personage. About three seconds later James<br />

be open to all pickle fiends, who consume on<br />

This is what was head <strong>of</strong> the football field<br />
this year. Our man Bowen was the brains <strong>of</strong><br />
the team, as the Moline High coach said:<br />
"It will be many a year before we get another<br />
man like Bowen in K. H. S. He is all<br />
there is when it comes to football. There ain't<br />
no more."<br />
—Special joke by "Bolognia."<br />
(Note—Bowen didn't write this, and his picture<br />
wasn't with it.)<br />
Grave difficulties arise. In troth, this advanced<br />
algebra is too much for my inferior<br />
constitution. For example, two times two are<br />
four, and two plus two are four, and three<br />
times three are nine, then why isn't three plus<br />
three nine? Why does it have to be six? Doesn't<br />
axiom one (I) say that anything equal to<br />
anything else which is equal to something else<br />
is also equal to something else?<br />
In troth, it is too much for me. Miss Trask<br />
cannot even explain it to my thorough satisfaction.<br />
The problem will have to remain unsolved<br />
until some smart Freshie like Bert Carlson<br />
or Junior MacLean grows up and clears the<br />
matter up.<br />

You should see the good old joke we have<br />
all written, ready for publication. But it's<br />
about Tub Leggett, Bickford, and Kronenberg,<br />
and Miss Terrill says that we have cracked so<br />
many dirty ones on these poor gents that she<br />
simply won't stand for us riding them any<br />
more. She says we should be ashamed <strong>of</strong> ourself.<br />
Our lack <strong>of</strong> tact is deplorable, she claims.<br />
(We don't know what she means by this, but<br />
we have an idea that she doesn't, either. She<br />
just uses this sardonic expression because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
brilliant phonetic effects.) Well, anyway, we<br />
should be ashamed <strong>of</strong> ourself for picking on<br />
those poor little helpless ones so much. Boo,<br />
boo! Boo, hoo! Such is the way <strong>of</strong> this cruel,<br />
wicked world.<br />

HOW TO USE THE LIBRARY<br />
(As there is no course in using the public<br />
library <strong>of</strong>fered in the curriculum <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />
High School, we <strong>of</strong>fer the following advice to<br />
those who need it.)<br />
FOR FRESHMEN ONLY<br />
When you enter the library, do not act like<br />
you are in a church. There is no reason to be<br />
quiet, because no one ever studies there. Furthermore,<br />
you can keep your cap on and talk in<br />
a strong monotone until the librarian gives you<br />
a dirty look. You then take your cap <strong>of</strong>f, and<br />
cease talking until the librarian turns her attention<br />
somewhere else.<br />
The next thing to do is to walk slowly<br />
through the whole library waving at your<br />
friends, and taking note <strong>of</strong> how many pretty<br />
girls that you know are there. You then choose<br />
the prettiest girl you know and sit down at a<br />
table near her. Smile good-naturedly at her a<br />
few times, and then approach and take a seat<br />
next to her, asking her what she is doing, or<br />
some other foolish question, so as to give you<br />
a chance to start talking. Then give her a line<br />
as strong as you can make it. Do not stop talking<br />
until the librarian gives you another very<br />
hard look.<br />
It is then time to ask the girl if you can take<br />
her home. By this time the librarian will be<br />
approaching to kick you out, so take the girl<br />
by the arm and lead her out <strong>of</strong> the library.<br />
If you are unfortunate enough not to know<br />
any <strong>of</strong> the girls in the library, pick the table<br />
around which a large number <strong>of</strong> your enemies<br />
are seated. Go up and begin talking loudly to<br />
them, and you will all be kicked out.<br />
After you get outside, it is proper to sing at<br />
the top <strong>of</strong> your voice. When the librarian notifies<br />
the police, however, it is always good form<br />
to leave the scene.<br />

THE INQUIRING REPORTER<br />
Where asked—<strong>Kewanee</strong> High School.<br />
Question—Describe one pupil's habit.<br />
(In accord with our regular editorial custom,<br />
pictures are omitted.)<br />
Mr. Kronenberg, History Instructor—I've<br />
always been deeply interested in Sterl's habit<br />
<strong>of</strong> feeding the girls a line, making them like<br />
it, and get them to take him riding. It's my<br />
fondest hope that some day he will divulge the<br />
secret <strong>of</strong> his success to me.<br />
Mr. George Wilson, English Instructor—<br />
Harold Hill has one <strong>of</strong> the most exasperating<br />
habits I know <strong>of</strong>. Whenever I make a particularly<br />
important announcement, he makes weird<br />
faces and gestures, then he chuckles and emits<br />
a terrible horse-laugh. I intend to give him a<br />
copy <strong>of</strong> Miss Post's "Etiquette."<br />
Mr. Stronks, Business Instructor—I have<br />
been surprised at Albert Goodman's notorious<br />
habit <strong>of</strong> carrying a compact and powdering his<br />
delicate nose. This shocks me beyond all expression.<br />
Miss Terrill, <strong>Public</strong> Speaking Instructor—<br />
Wee Willie Pierce has a habit that I consider<br />
obnoxious. Whenever he hears a witty joke he<br />
repeats it time and again and follows everybody<br />
around telling it to them, until they are<br />

WHY NOODLES?<br />
Why is Louis F. Slimmer popularly termed<br />
"Noodles"? Here are the ideas <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> our<br />
leading citizens:<br />
Wallace Hopper says the reason is that noodles<br />
are slick and slippery.<br />
Harold Johnson thinks that the coach's pet<br />
diet is noodles and pretzels. In this case, though,<br />
we would suggest "Pretzels" instead <strong>of</strong> "Noodles."<br />
Anton Goodman says the real reason is that<br />
the coach always uses his noodle.<br />
Well, we don't knod. It's a deep question.<br />

Someone says Miss Ewan is Scotch. Eh, heh!<br />
And the reputation the Scotch have for—oh—<br />
er—being rather conservative in dispensing their<br />
pecuniary auxiliaries, and Miss Ewan is so kindhearted!<br />
Well, it just seems like another Bughouse<br />

HENCE<br />
Madam Marjory Kuster is conducting a reducing<br />
school for stout ladies, with Mrs. Kate<br />
Talbot her most prominent patron.<br />
We find "Kid" Lamberty an instructor in<br />
"Big Boy" Bowman's pugilistic gym.<br />
Theodore Griggs is a devout member <strong>of</strong> the<br />
House <strong>of</strong> David.<br />
Arnold Lippert is physics teacher in K. H. S.<br />
Joan McGrath is now a famous bathing<br />
beauty.<br />
Gaydon Johnson is a famous ping-pong star.<br />
Roy Bottorff has invented a new lotion for<br />
cultivating the nose.<br />
Edith Selander is now in the Follies.<br />
"K" Davis is proprietor <strong>of</strong> a hot dog shop.<br />
Ralph Carter Follett is Big Bill Thompson's<br />
successor in Chicago.<br />
Kathryn Behr is head matron in an old<br />
ladies' home.<br />
Mazie Lovering is a prominent screen actress.<br />
John Rashid has just broken Nurmi's record.<br />
Richard (Oscar) Lippens has introduced<br />
new modes <strong>of</strong> masculine hair dressing.<br />
Mutt Sparling is the West End checker<br />
champion.<br />
Julia Ingham is teaching at the Standard<br />
school, three miles west <strong>of</strong> Buda.<br />
Alice Chapman is writing "Searing Souls"<br />
for the Herald-Examiner.<br />
James Boswell is playing tough parts with<br />
Art Acord in the moving pictures.<br />
Ed Johnson's new book, "Swedes is Swedes,"<br />
has created quite an effect.<br />
We wonder where young Michael Moore<br />
obtained his flashy golf trousers? Not wishing<br />
to be mean, or anything like that, it would be<br />
our most fiendish delight if he should slip on<br />
a banana peel and splash into a great, beautiful<br />
mud puddle. Wouldn't that be hot?<br />

Many people go through high school with<br />
improper, or, what's worse, without any nicknames.<br />
To remedy this defect, we suggest the<br />
following names for the most needy:<br />
Warren Heaps—"Samson."<br />
Elmer Heideman—"Firpo."<br />
Lump Watts—"Hercules."<br />
John Rashid or Bill Oliver—"Nurmi."<br />
Bert Carlson—"The Little Giant."<br />
Fred Kiedler—"Ye West Wind."<br />
Barton Lundberg—"Half Pint."<br />
Adelaide Lovering—"Aphrodite."<br />
Everett Brown—"Venus."<br />
If we have left your name out <strong>of</strong> this<br />
humorous section, it is proper for you to feel<br />
insulted, discriminated against, and unmercifully<br />
gyped, etc., etc. You can console yourself<br />
a little by signing your name at the bottom<br />
<strong>of</strong> this page. This will make you feel better,<br />
for then your name will be in the World's<br />
Greatest Humor Section <strong>of</strong> the World's Greatest<br />
Annual. But if we find Dick Murray or<br />
James Talbot signing at the bottom <strong>of</strong> this<br />
page, there will be murder—bloody murder! !<br />

remember, you can have your fun next year<br />

"In two years my new theory will be published<br />

I just thought <strong>of</strong> a good joke about Joseph<br />
Youngren, but I greatly fear his delicate<br />
nature and will not place it before the public<br />
eye, because it would probably make him cry.<br />
We are at present compiling a book on,<br />
"How to Write Jokes, Even Though You Are<br />
Not Funny." We intend this to be an aid to<br />
next year's humor editor.<br />
What gives us a big kick is to see a half page<br />

Why not call them Watertown Willies or Bedlam<br />

LETTERS FROM CORRESPONDENTS<br />
Dear Paul—I am very despondent and down<br />
on life since my girl quit me. What is the 1 best<br />
cure for such despondency?<br />
Yours truly, Chick Gamble.<br />
Dear Charles—There are a number <strong>of</strong> good<br />
cures. Some <strong>of</strong> the best are strychnine, carbolic<br />
acid, and wood alcohol. J. Paul Behrer.<br />
Dear Paul—I am feeling bad because I did<br />
not make my credits this semester. Can you<br />
cheer me up? Clyde Stegall.<br />
Dear Clyde—Always remember that the first<br />
hundred years <strong>of</strong> high school are the hardest.<br />
I was feeling rather blue myself the other<br />
day, so I thought that I would cheer myself<br />
up by taking a trip to Pleasant View cemetery.<br />
I was tremendously cheered by the following<br />
epitaphs upon the tombstones:<br />
Here Vie the bones <strong>of</strong> Hay den E. Smith;<br />
He left this life while dancing with<br />
Mary Mcttler, Follies beauty.<br />
"While alive, he did his duty."<br />
Here lie the remains <strong>of</strong> Ruthy Neville;<br />
She died when Chick said, "Aw go to the devil."<br />
Here lie the bones <strong>of</strong> O. Frederick Koch—<br />
He died before the Mrs.' withering look.<br />
CHEER UP SECTION<br />
OWNED AND OPERATED BY<br />
JOHN PAUL BEHRER<br />
Here lies the dust <strong>of</strong> Robert Baird;<br />
A foet he was—a wonderful laird.<br />
He wrote many 'poems—one hundred eleven,<br />
And- when they were published, he went straight<br />
to heaven.<br />
Here rests what is left <strong>of</strong> Sibclla Jackson,<br />
Killed by a motorist who didn't sound his<br />
klaxon.<br />
Here lie the remains <strong>of</strong> little Eddie Bouiji—<br />
Died in Watertown, after he went flouiji.<br />
Here rests poor little Marguerite Keeling,<br />
Who sat on a tack and flew through the ceiling.<br />
Here sleeps the dust <strong>of</strong> Wee Willie Bishop,<br />
Died while trying hard to dish up<br />
More ice cream than he could eat.<br />
"Life is good, but death is sweet."<br />
Well, I guess that is all for this time. In<br />
closing I will quote this farewell poem:<br />
"Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,<br />
The hearse shall carry back my bad remains;<br />
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,<br />
Until you use two canes."<br />
Signed,<br />
-JOHN PAUL BEHRER.
