this group to lead them, the class
anticipated a successful year.
The first thing that interested
all of the Sophomores was the
class party. Was it a success?
Well, I should say it was, and
each person that attended that
party said the same thing: "We

Not only did they make themselves known
to the upper classmen by their
very successful social activities,
but also in athletics. When the
inter-class basketball tournament
came around the Sophomores
were there with bells on. The
boys' team did not do so well,

Soon everyone was excited and nobody but the Freshmen
knew what the excitement was about. Yes, it was a successful

reception given us by the Seniors. It was a lovely
affair and our ambition is to give as nice a one to the
Freshman class when we are Seniors.
We were decidedly prominent in the boys' inter-class
basketball tournament. Our fellows exhibited fine ability as
basketball players and won first place for themselves in the
tournament. In inter-class track, too, our boys did well. We
have some promising young athletes.
Now we are Sophomores, and for our leaders we elected:

had lost any enthusiasm, and a good time was had by all.

This was not all, either! It was the Freshman class that

year. We have good students as well as good athletes, and
we are proud of them, too.
Our first year in Kewanee High School is nearing completion,
and we have made a very good start and have taken
our place in the school activities. However, we ere not satisfied,

The Kewanite
In accordance with a custom recently established in Keivanee High School, the student body
this year, as in previous years, was given the opportunity to select the most active boy and girt.
This year the students have selected and by this selection honored, Kathryn Behr and Clayton Davis.
Kathryn Behr
Kathryn well deserves the title, "The most
active girl in K. H. S." Although she did not
join our ranks until the last week of the first
semester of our Junior year, she soon took her
place among us.
Kathryn has always been ready with her
clever ideas and her hard work. She was largely
responsible for the success of the Senior Shocks,
and also held a leading part in the Senior class
play. She was the capable and reliable captain
of the Senior girls' basketball team, and wears
the girls' "K" as a reward for her athletic
activities.
Some of Kathryn's activities since she has
been here have been:
Student Federation, 3, 4; Glee Club, 4;
Belle of Barcelona, 4; Dramatic Club, 4; Senior
Shocks, 4; Basketball, 3, 4; Girls' "K";
Kewanite Staff, 4; Class Play, 4.
We certainly feel that Kathryn has been a
real leader, and we are proud to claim her as
a product of the Class of '27.
Clayton Davis
"K," the leader of the Student Federation
for the past year, is, without a doubt, the most
active boy in the school. And he is one of the
most active boys that K. H. S. has ever had. He
well deserves the honor conferred upon him by
the students.
Besides his duty as director of Student Federation,
he has been an extremely capable business
manager of this year-book. His title of
business manager signifies his ability along that
line without any further addition of words.
Some of Clayton's activities during his high
school career have been:
President Red Triangle, 2; President of
Class, 2; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; Boosters
Club, 2, 3, 4; Vice President Student Federation,
3; President Student Federation, 4; Vice
President Hi-Y, 3; President Hi-Y, 4; Debate
Club, 4; Glee Club, 4; Belle of Barcelona, 4;
Senior Shocks, 4; Class Play, 3, 4.
Kewanee High loses one of the best leaders
she has ever had the pleasure to call her own
upon "K's" graduation this June. The Class of
'27 is indeed proud of the fact that "K" is one
of her number.

Mr. Koch
as our year-book adviser and helper, has been the guardian
angel who has aided us so materially in the editing
of this, our "Kewanite." Her advice has always been
of the best and for the best, which accounts for the
success of this book.
The staff wishes to thank Miss Terrill for her
work and the devotion of her expert ability toward
this book. We sincerely hope that the future "Kewanite"
staffs may enjoy working- with Miss Terrill as much as
we have.

helping to make this year's "Kewanite" a success.
His thorough knowledge of business procedure has
aided us greatly in carrying out all of our financial
problems successfully. Financing a year-book is by no
means an easy task, and with the aid of his keen business
judgment we have been able to finance ours.
We, the staff, wish to thank Mr. Koch for his sound
advice and his untiring effort.

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

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

THE Dramatic Club, in its efforts to reach a goal of success, has worked very
hard. Its efforts have been anything but in vain because through the work of
all concerned this club has attained the highest possible goal that any club
could wish for.
During the first semester the meetings were made very interesting by the presentation
of one-act plays and novelty programs. The turn-outs to the meetings
were almost astounding. Everyone had a keen interest in the meetings, and in fact
everything that the club did.
At the end of the first semester the capable! president left school. At his farewell
meeting we realized fully how much we were going to miss the guiding hand
of Bill. The vice president, James Talbot, stepped into his place and has kept up
the good work to the best of his ability. His ability as a leader is as good as anyone
could possibly wish for, too.
All the clubs in school and all the students were interested in the matter of
improving the social room. The Dramatic Club became seriously interested in this
matter and proved it by conducting a magazine subscription sale to realize money
for the improvement. Every member of the club worked hard, and the result was

nf 1327
Dramatic Club—Continued
a check for fifty dollars which the president of the club presented to the president
of the Boosters Club for any improvement that it could be used for.
One of the most important things on the calendar of events for this club
each year is the preliminary one-act play .contest. This year the following plays
were presented: "Fame and the Poet," "Kitty Clive," and "Evening Dress Indispensible."
The presentation of these plays as usual brought out a good crowd, and
"Kitty Clive" was chosen by the judge, Prof. Roberta D. Sheets, of Lombard College,
as the play to represent Kewanee High School in the Big Nine contest.
One-act plays were presented at the Congregational Church for a ladies' organization
several times, and "Kitty Clive" was taken to Lombard College in Galesburg
for presentation.
Later in the year the club put on another play for the public. Again a huge
audience turned out. About this time we came to the conclusion that the Dramatic
Club was as popular with the older people as it was with the students.
Of course we couldn't go through the year without having a party. And, oh,
what a party it proved to be. It was a hard time party, and Ruth Adams received
the prize for having the most appropriate costume. A lovely program was presented
for all those attending, and games of every sort imaginable were played.
The credit for the successful year that the Dramatic Club has just passed is
due not only to the officers and the members, but also to the club adviser, Miss
Ericsson. Miss Ericsson has given her time to coaching plays and helping to make
the meetings of this organization interesting, and she has worked hard to make this
year spell success for the club. She certainly has succeeded, and we all appreciate her
efforts and wish for her the best of luck for the future clubs that she sponsors.

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

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

The Kewanite
Affirmative Debate Team
Big 9 Debate Champions
Captain—
Alternate,
FOR the last two years Kewanee has placed in the "Big:
Nine" finals—the last time taking first place. When
Mr. Kronenberg issued the call for debate this year he
had two veterans back on the affirmative team. After preliminary
try-outs six persons were picked to contest for the
affirmative positions. They were: Robert Hayward, Roy
Bottorff, Sterl Bowen, Byron Bruner, Richard Murray, and
John Butter wick. After a long struggle, Robert Hayward,
Roy Bottorff, and Sterl Bowen survived the final decision.
Byron Bruner was picked as alternate.
On February 25, they met the Mendota negative, and
after a very close debate they lost the decision. This was
a preliminary debate and had no effect on the "Big Nine"
standing.
On March 15 the affirmative invaded Geneseo and lost by
a very close decision of 89 to 90. The debate 1 was so close
that it was only personal technique that gave the debate to
Geneseo. Geneseo, who had previously loaded for Kewanee,
and had very mysteriously anticipated their arguments,
planned to overwhelm Kewanee, and by defeating Princeton
to win the district. They were badly fooled. Princeton beat

them 90 to 86, and Kewanee came very near to routing
them, but the affirmative had started the guns too late.
The affirmative then proceeded to revise their entire argument,
and on March 25 they beat Moline. This was the
climax and was a decisive victory for Kewanee. Although
winning by 95 to 94, the affirmative showed great reserve
strength. Robert Hayward, the new member of the team,
showed his ability in this debate.
By virtue of a dual debate victory, Kewanee won the
"liig Nine" debate championship for the second successive
year, and hence entered the State debate at Bloomington.
The affirmative case was again revised, but lost to Davenport
2 to 1 in a trial debate. We are confident that the
affirmative will go well in the State debate.
In closing, it would be well to mention our r.plenJid
coach—Mr. Kronenberg. Coaches may come and go, but
we are confident that Mr. Kronenberg was the best liked
and most able coach that K. H. S. has had. Mr. Kronenberg
was the power behind the throne and was directly responsible
for all our successes. We are sure that with a coach
like Mr. Kronenberg, Kewanee will have real debate teams
in the future.

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

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

T HE year of 1927 has been another successful year for the Debate Club.
The subject for debate this year was: Resolved: That a Department of
Education with a Secretary in the President's cabinet should be added to the
executive department of the United States Government.
As was done last year, a debate squad of twelve was selected by the debate
coach. The members of this squad were: Josephine Alvis, Byron Bruner, John
Butterwick, William Bishop, Sterl Bowen, Roy Bottorff, Theodore Griggs, Robert
Hayward, Arnold Lippert, Richard Murray, James Talbot, and Harris Kemp. These
members worked diligently on the question for debate until a short time before the
contests were to be held. Then the coach picked the teams from this group.
The teams picked were: Affirmative—Robert Hayward, Sterl Bowen, and Roy
Bottorff. The Negative team was—James Talbot, Harris Kemp, and Arnold Lippert.
These boys worked hard on debate and made the student body proud of them
for the splendid showing they made in "Big Nine."
A great deal of credit is due to our coach, Mr. Kronenberg, who gave his time
and effort to produce a winning debate team. Also to the debate squad, who worked
along with and helped the team whenever possible.

Declamatory
IN a preliminary contest Helen Keller and
Edward Ellis were chosen by the competent
judges to represent Kewanee High
School in the "Big Nine" declam. Helen selection
was "Mercedes," and the one Edward gave
was "Little Gentleman."
The boys' contest was held at Princeton, and
Edward went there to do his best for his school.
He did not place, but nevertheless we are proud
of the fine way in which he represented us.
Our girl entry went to Moline to test her
skill against that of other girls and to do her
best for her school. Her best was good enough,
too, for she met with success. Helen excelled
herself and brought home a third place.
Soon comes the Henry Count}' meet, and our
speakers this year are Lillian Tietz and James
Fulton.
Not only to the speakers is credit due. Each
speaker required careful training, and this
supreme training was given by Miss Brown,
who has been a great inspiration.

Extemporaneous
A T AN elimination assembly held the latter
part of March this year, Richard
Murray was chosen as Kewanee High
School's representative for the "Big Nine" extemporaneous
speaking contest.
The question Richard spoke on was, "America
and Nicaragua."
He was our representative last year, but did
not place in the contest. He has excelled himself
this year and we are sure that wherever he
goes this year for the "Big Nine" he will win
a place for himself without any difficulty.
Perhaps the reason we are so confident that
"Dick" will win is because we know the splendid
coaching he has had. Each year Miss Terrill,
the ever-faithful coach, works hard to aid
the boys that come out for "extemp." Her aid
always seems an inspiration, and for that reason
we have a very good "extemp" speaker. We all
appreciate more than we can print on paper,
Miss Terrill and the aid she skives to the students,
that the}' may bring more honors to

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

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

The Band
ONE of the most important organizations in K. H. S. is our band. At pep
meetings, football games, basketball games, and track meets, the band fellows
were there playing in their usual style of perfection and putting pep into the
crowd. This year, with the help of the Student Federation and the student body,
our boys were able to secure uniforms. The wish of past and present classes to have
a uniformed band in Kewanee High School has been realized. And when we see
our band in uniform and hear them play, we are justly proud of every member.

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

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

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

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

1927 T h e kewanite 79
SECOND SQUAD
Football Season—Continued
Other teams that big scores were rolled up against were also teams that had
in the past either beaten or tied Kewance. Galva was beaten 51 to o after tying
the 1925 team, and Geneseo was taken into camp by a 26 to o score. In this
Geneseo game, not one first team man entered the game. From the first whistle
to the last, the seconds played the Green ami White off their feet and did jt in
good fashion. At Monmouth, with three of the first team men on the sidelines,
the score was only 7 to 0 at the end of the half for Kewanee, but when these men
went in and the, game started, the Orange and Black ran up a score of 38 to o by
the end of the game.
The big thing that made the unusual success of the football team was the way
every man played team-work and co-operated with every other man on the team.
At the beginning of the year not much was expected of the green bunch that
greeted Coach Slimmer on his first call, but in a few short weeks this same green
bunch had been developed into one of the most feared teams in Illinois. By virtue
of the victories gained, the team won the state district championship and made a
strong bid for the state title.
Despite the unusual prevailing conditions and mud all year, the Kewanee High
School eleven of 1926 "came thorugh" and made one of the greatest records the
school has ever had.

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

FIRST SQUAD
Basketball Review
WITH the coming of Thanksgiving and the subsequent ending of football
season, the moleskins were laid away and all attention turned to the cage
sport—basketball. The team was called out for practice just a few days
after the vacation with everyone determined to go through a good season in basketball—to
go along with the excellent record made in football. No one really gave
the team much of a chance for accomplishing this, however, because it had been
so long since Kewanee had had a successful cage outfit that it did not seem possible.
But the unthought of happened, and during the winter months, with only two letter
men back, Coach Slimmer molded a team that went through a season of seventeen
games and lost only three. Two of the three defeats were suffered on foreign floors
and were avenged when the opponents came to Kewanee. The defeats were suffered
at the hands of Abingdon, Orion, and Galesburg. In following games both of the
first two were defeated by large scores.
This record of fourteen games won and only three lost is the best that a
Kewanee team has made in basketball for a number of years and one that probably
will not be equaled for some time to come.
The fact that Kewanee defeated such teams as Visitation,
Victoria, Alpha, and Woodhull, Princeton,
Wethersfield, and Cambridge twice, and Geneseo
three times, showed the splendid calibre of our
basketball team.
It is a curious fact, though, about the team
of 1926-27 that although they went good in single
games, they could not reach the same style of
play in tournaments. In the Henry County tournament,
which was lost to Alpha in the last game,
everything went well until this last encounter,
and notwithstanding that Kewanee had beaten this
team once, they went down in defeat by a large
score. The same thing happened in the Galesburg
tournament, when a close two points won for
Knoxville over the Orange and Black.
It was, however, the best season in scheduled
games that a Kewanee team has ever had, and
Cheer Lender one that the school can well be proud of.

1927 The KEWANITE 87
SECOND SQUAD
Basketball Tournaments
ALTHOUGH a mighty hard team to beat in most of their games, the basketball
team did not play their usual game in the tournaments in which they engaged,
and consequently only placed second in the county tourney, when they should
have had a first.
The first tournament was the Pontiac invitational tournament at Pontiac during
the Christmas vacation. Kewanee was the victim of an unfortunate schedule in
this tourney in picking the hard-playing Pekin five for the first game. In spite of
the odds against them, Slimmer's men showed up well and held them to a close score.
In the first game of the Henry County tournament Kewanee beat Geneseo, and
then downed the fast Cambridge five. The next game was with Orion, where the
Kewanee men were the under dogs, but after a fast finish a victory was hung up by
a two-point margin. Kewanee then lost to Alpha after four hectic quarters.
The last tournament of the season at Galesburg proved to be disastrous for
Kewanee. After playing Knoxville to a standstill and the
score 9 to 6 at the half, the opponents came back and won the
game by a score of 12 to 10., thus cutting off Kewanee's
chances at a district title and ending the season for Kewanee.

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

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

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

Delicious refreshments of green and white

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

Oriental Act
Cafe de Paris

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

JUNIOR MASQUERADE PARTY
The Juniors had a masquerade party October
29th in the social room. The decorations were
in keeping with Hallowe'en. There were
witches, cats, and oh, just loads of spooky decorations.
A prize was awarded to the person who wore
the best costume. Dorothy Larson won the
prize. Her costume was "Little Red Riding
Hood."
After eating, playing games, 'neverything,
they all departed for home.
The eats? Oh, they were scrumptous. There
was pumpkin pie, apples, candy, and cider.

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

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

The KSWzAW I? 8
Our State Debaters
BIG NINE champions, State District champions, and second place in the State
finals, represents the laurels of the 1927 debate team.
Prior to 192 I, Kewanee had not even won its Big Nine district in debate,
but in that year it took third place in the Big Nine. In 1925 Kewanee took second
place, and in 1926 first place. In 1927 Kewanee not only took first place in the
Big Nine, but first in the State District and second in the State finals. The Negative,
although losing to Mendota early in the season, was the most successful of the
teams. It vanquished Princeton, Monmouth, Davenport, Iowa, Riverside of Chicago,
and Granite City, and at Normal was judged to be the best negative in the
state of Illinois. The Affirmative triumphed over Moline, Marshall, and East
Dubuque, and lost to Mendota, Geneseo, and Davenport.
Second place in the State finals means as much to Kewanee as first does to
Averyville. Averyville, being a smaller school, debated smaller schools such as
Marshall, Spring Valley, Bridgeport, and East Dubuque, the last two teams losing
every debate, while Kewanee debated such towns as Marshall, which previously was
undefeated, Granite City, which had defeated East St. Louis and Belleville, and
Riverside of Chicago, which had triumphed over Waukegan, Evanston, Oak Park,
Morton of Cicero, and Austin High of Chicago. East Dubuque was the only easy
draw of the day for Kewanee. Since Kewanee did not debate Averyville and came
through undefeated, the second place trophy means more than second place, but
rather a tie for first.
This year marks the passing of the old regime, Bottorff, Bowen, and Lippert,
which have been the nucleus of the two championship teams, and largely responsible
for their success. The old regime gives place to the new, which we hope will be far
better. If Mr. Kronenberg, our splendid coach, returns, we are sure that another
epoch of debate history has passed, and that the future teams will have a place in
the sun.
Track Meet
D UE to the lateness of track season, the first three meets of the year were too
late to be placed in the regular track section, but we are taking this space to
tell of the actfvities of the team so far this year. The meets so far this year
have proven the prediction that Kewanee High is represented by the greatest array
of cinder path artists than have ever donned the spikes in Kewanee High.
The first meet of the year was the Milliken invitational meet held at Bloomington,
by the James Milliken University, with a total of seventy-five schools
entered. Out of this number of athletes the Orange and Black boys from Kewanee
won fourth place, and were separated from the winners by only three points.
Watts and Yanuskus starred in this meet, Watts with a tie for first in the
pole vault, and Yanuskus with a second in the broad jump. Already this season
Yanuskus has broken the school broad jump record with a leap of 20 feet, 5 inches,
and has broken his own record in the 100-yard dash.
In the second meet of the year, held at Bradley College, Peoria, the team did
not do as good as they did in the Milliken meet, and consequently were with the
"also-rans" most of the time. However, the boys showed great promise for later
in the season when Yanuskus ran the 100 yards in 10.1, and Johnson won the preliminaries
and semi-finals of the 220-yard low hurdles.
The next meet is the Big Nine conference meet at Moline, and if the team
keeps up with the same good work that they have evidenced so far, Kewanee should
emerge from this meet on the long end of the score.
The other meets that the team will participate in are the State Sectional meet
at Moline, the State meet at Urbana, and the Henry Count}' meet at Cambridge.

UNEXPECTED
VACATION FOR
R. MURRAY
Richard Murray, one of Kewanee's
good-sized young gentlemen,
was recently given a two-day vacation.
It is claimed that Murray's
memory was failing him, due to the
overworking of his mind. He was
given a short vacation by the
Board and is getting along favorably
now.
Murray's memory began failing
him some time ago. It became
steadily worse, until the climax
came when at 11:30 a bell was
rung for a special assembly. Failing
to remember that the bell was
the signal for an assembly, and not
the regular dismissal bell, Murray
left the school building. On the
way out he noticed that the student
body was rushing to the
assembly hall, but due to his fail-
ing memory he forgot that he noticed
this before he could draw any
conclusions.
The School Board, thinking that
Murray should have a chance to
rest and regain his lost memory,
extended him the privilege of a vacation
of indefinite length.
At the end of two days, Murray
returned and convinced the principal
in a long conference that his
memory had recovered. He is now
getting along O. K.

it was overlooked and not mentioned

The trouble started when five
Galesburg fellows came to Kewanee

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

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

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

of Helen Keller in civics.
"I don't know," replied Helen.
"Haven't you ever heard of a 'holding company'?"

was to go down to visit Jerry, why then I would
be his company, and he would be 'holding company'."

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

'More Truth Than Poetry'
In Kewanee, a freshman named Hope,
Gave all of his class some new dope,
"If at PENNEY'S you'll trade,
Your fortune is made,
For there you can never go broke."
A Soph in this school, who was clever,
Made it ever her earnest endeavor
To save money each day
And to put it away
To buy shoes she knew were all leather.
Your professor who trades at our store,
Will tell you he always saves more;
And the goods that he buys,
Are the best, in his eyes,
That he's seen since he crawled on the floor.
Now the reason for this, as you know,
Is the fact that wherever you go,
Our stores you will find,
And they bring to your mind
That they're BETTER or they never would
grow.

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

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

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

HELPFUL HINTS TO THE

1. Do not chew on your gum quid while
the teacher is looking at you.
2. Never study unless you have to.
3. You do not have to raise your hand before
speaking to the teacher in the halls or on

4. Always laugh when the teacher cracks a
joke.
5. The white, basin-like aperatures in the
halls are drinking fountains and not receptacles
for chewing gum quids.
APOLOGY
We wish to voice a word of apology to Roy
Bottorff for making so many droll cracks about
his nose. But still, his nose is one in a million,
and we can't resist making cracks about it, although
we know we're no cutie.
By the way, just because we use the word
"we" in writing up these sardonic epigrams,
don't think that there are more than one of me.
We just use the word "we" in speaking of myself,
not because we want to fool the unwary
public, but because it is the proper form, and
customary in the highest circles. So don't worry
about me any more, for we are one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

offered at new low prices!
Come in! See and drive
this history-making car—an
achievement whose importance is only
surpassed by the never-to-be-forgotten
introduction of the original Pontiac Six!

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

R. U. Bickford (in a voice of thunder)—
"LET'S HAVE IT QUIET NOW!"
(Great hush falls upon multitude, as R. U.

book thoughtfully.)

to edge of table and leans on it), when I was
in college I never flunked a test. No reason why
you can't study, and—"
Tom Rashid (to Grace Meats)—"Didja ever

Grace—"No."
Tom—"And what's more, you never will."
Tom, Grace and surrounding persons—"Ha,

Tom—"Why?"
Genevieve—"You know so man) 1 old jokes."
R. U. B. (thunder gathering in his brow)—-
"WILL YOU BE QULET!" (Gives the class
a dirty look.) "Kurbat, what's Boyle's Law?"
Kurbat—"I'll bite. What is it?"
R. U. B. (trying to look hard-boiled and dis-

R. U. B.—"Oh, the boys in the other class

I put their grades on the board and compared
them to prove they weren't."
Murray—"I bet the boys in this class are
smarter than the girls."
Herbert Schamp—"Boys as a rule are more

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, Junior, thou art truly a great man!
Thou hailest from such a marvelous class,
Thou cannot indeed be ever surpassed!
But, fair Juniors, why waste your jabber,
On success of your moves, your class plays and
such,
You'll some da}' wish you had half that chabber
And find, too, the) amounted to—
Not much!
Well, we sure must give the Juniors credit
for having courage. They face class bravely,
and do not fear to attempt a cane speech, although
they know there is no one in their class
who is anywhere near as capable of cane-speaking
as our brilliant representative. Not only
that, no matter how good a cane speaker the}'
have, they would have nothing to talk about,
so what's the use?

The sun was shining brightly,
The rain came clown in sheets,
The weary man came home from work
To a supper of cold beets.
The boys were at a track meet,
They were coming down the track
When the first one rolled upon his ear—
He had sat down on a tack.
The girl was standing on the cliff,
Her dress was all a-flutter,
Along came a little butterfly,
Going home to supper.
The study hall was quiet,
The sun was in the west.
She let an awful holler
And jumped upon her desk.

I was walking along the ocean,
Fondly taking in the sights,
When a hippo washed up to me,
In a pair of silken tights.
I asked him who he might be—
He did not answer me.
My plea he did not answer,
And was cold as he could be.
No hippo here could high-hat me,
So haughtily touching my cap,
I went over where I could see
The turtles taking a nap.
A big blue snake came by so fast
I did not see him come,
I thought my time had come at
To hear that reptile hum.

All good Seniors have the idea that William
("Abie") Pierce does not think much of the
Junior girls, or maybe they know him too well.
But if you will notice, it is always a Senior
girl that little "Abie" is talking to or walking
with. So far "Abie" has not had much luck
getting a girl, but maybe he will have some
now because two or three couples have "broken
up."
"Abie" is a good boy and the Seniors must
give him credit for trying.

1927 The KEWANITE
The other day while walking down the
crooked walk, I met my old friend Bang. You
know how Bang was—a big fellow that ends
with a bang—yeh—and he sure was a radical
guy.
To him I says, says I, "Well, old timer, did
you ever succeed in get'tin' the U. S. like Russia
r" ('Cause I knew he had tried seven or
eight times.)
"What do you mean to be and do!" says he
with a bang. And I hope you noticed it ended
with an exclamation point.
We walked on and sat down on a park bench
and I asked him what he did for a livin'.
"Well," says he to I, "I don't do much of
anything. I generally makes speeches about
Bullshevism and am introducing a new bill in
congress, I am. I'm a pretty big guy around
Blowville, I am, and I can do almost anything
'cause the cops are skared of me. I'm the whole
cheese. I like Blowville, for it is my own town,
named after me."
"All I heard," says I to him, "was I-I-I-I-I."
I says to him, says I, "I wonder if I were
living in Blowville if I would be in the same
position," says I. "But," says I, "were you a
big speaker in congress?"
DAINTY SANDWICHES
MEALS
"Well," says he to me, "all the kids thought
I was to be cane speaker for the Juniors and
day held an election. Before de election I goes
up to the front and tells 'em I wanna say a
word afore I'm elected. So I goes on anl tells
'em that if I'se elected I'se gonna make it hot
for de Seniors. Everybody clapped and clapped
so I'se gets down to the second degree and goes
to my seat."
You can guess how the election came out, and
all I heard was I-I-I-I-I.
For the benefit of Miss Terrill, the Big Five
wish to state that there are exceptions to the
statement that, "A large vocabulary is good at
any time or place." As one of the large waitresses
hove into sight, James Talbot, in an insensible
mood, remarked as to the vastness of
her personage. About three seconds later James
was searching the other side of the streets for
his coat tails.

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

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

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

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

Mr. Slimmer, Coach and Scholar—I have
been deeply interested in Donald Swanson's
fighting spirit. Swanee has brought great fame
to our high school. The old K. H. S. fighting
spirit shows itself in every knuckle of his
Swedish hands.

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

We find "Kid" Lamberty an instructor in
"Big Boy" Bowman's pugilistic gym.
Theodore Griggs is a devout member of the
House of David.
Arnold Lippert is physics teacher in K. H. S.
Joan McGrath is now a famous bathing

our most fiendish delight if he should slip on
a banana peel and splash into a great, beautiful
mud puddle. Wouldn't that be hot?

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

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