T
W E N T Y - F I V E years ago, 350 high school students enrolled in the new
Kewanee High School, taking up very much the same type of work that the
700 students were offered this year. As the years passed, a few changes, however, found their way into the curriculum. German gave way to French. Agriculture came and passed on. General Science supplanted Physical Geography. Public
Speaking found its way into the English Department. A second year of Manual
Training was introduced and in recent years, drafting, sheet and metal work were
included in the shop work. Art as a state recognized course is only one year old
although drawing has been taught all these twenty-five years. Music was not recognized by the State University as an entrance credit until 1920, at which time courses
in applied music were accredited. Credit in band and orchestra for graduation is
comparatively new. Physical Training became a required course five years ago. A
teachers' training course was added, then changed to a year's course in Elementary
Psychology. Printing passed out for want of sufficient enrollment. Economics was
added to our course. Biology has been reduced from two to one year's course.
Physics has become elective while U. S. History is now required. The total units
required for graduation now are sixteen instead of fifteen.
The building has undergone only minor changes since its construction. Except
tor the overflow in Physical Training work, it has been able to house all class work
and activities from the very beginning. The School Board members of 1904 were
men of vision in being able to construct a building which has remained in such good
physical condition all these years and also, in a fair way, accommodated an enrollment
now twice the size that entered. Its entire cost including site, construction, furniture,
and legal expenses was $114,195.20.
During these twenty-five years, the faculty personnel has been changing from
year to year, but never have we lost sight of the high purpose for which this plant
was constructed.

The School
I
N 1874 the first class ever to graduate from a high school in Kewanee passed
from the halls of the Academy, a small, unimposing, red building resting beneath
the great maple trees of South Chestnut Street. A second great step in school
history was the completion of the Central School in 1889. In 1906 the first class
was graduated from our present building. The graduating classes have increased
from twelve to over one hundred, the faculty from two or three to over thirty.
ART
Two classes in Art are conducted in the high school in the afternoon, a beginning class and an advanced class. From being merely classes in drawing the department has developed to a carefully planned course in Art for two years which carries
university entrance credit.
The first year the history of art from the origin of art through the period of
Romanesque and Gothic architecture is studied. The course covers the relations of
color and value, proportion, freehand sketching, lettering, craft work, etc.
The second year's work is an advanced technical course. The study of the
history of art is continued through the nineteenth century. The class in the advanced
work is largely individual instruction.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
The aim of the Commercial Department is to prepare students to enter directly
into business life upon leaving high school. A year's work is offered to freshmen in
Junior Business Training. The chief purpose of this course is to acquaint the student
with the general methods and procedure of business and to prepare him for clerical
positions.
A one-semester course in Retail Selling is offered to sophomores. The student
is trained in the care and handling of stock, the display of merchandise, including
advertising, the meeting of problems pertaining to customers, and in the mastery of
Business English.
Work covering one year is offered in Bookkeeping I, for juniors who have had
Junior Business Training. It is followed by Bookkeeping II. There is a year's
course in Personal Typewriting and a year's course in Stenography I, in which the
time is divided between typewriting and Shorthand I. The fundamental principles
of Gregg shorthand are studied, and a thorough knowledge of the keyboard and the
typewriter is obtained by the student. To those who complete this course, a year of
Shorthand II is open.
Commercial Geography is a one-semester course open to sophomores. Its object
is to acquaint the student with the physical, social, and economic conditions which
influence commerce. Commercial Law is a half-year subject offered to seniors. It
aims to give the student a sufficient knowledge of the fundamental principles of business law to enable him to avoid mistakes in later business life.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
Kewanee High School offers four years of English, three of which are required
for graduation. In the first and second years the greater emphasis is placed on
composition, including grammar and punctuation. Literature is given secondary
attention. Oral composition is regarded as important.
In the third and fourth years the emphasis is reversed. Literature is stressed
and composition is given secondary attention.
The aim of the work in literature is to develop a generous appreciation for
good writing and to attain an enlargement and an enrichment of the ideals of life
for the student.
The purpose of composition is to estahlish accurate usage of the correct form
of expression in a clear-cut and forceful manner.
A year's course is offered in Public Speaking to juniors and seniors. The purpose of the course is to enable the students to become skillful conversationalists on
ordinary subjects, and to give them a mastery of the principles underlying the
organization and delivery of an effective speech.
HISTORY DEPARTMENT
The high school offers five courses in this department:
Community Civics is a one-semester course open to freshmen and sophomores.
Not only is the Constitution studied, but also governmental functions and problems
appearing in everyday life receive considerable attention.
Economics, a one-semester course open to juniors and seniors, covers the fundamental background of industrial and business organization.
Work covering one year is offered in Early European History. Beginning with
the earliest records of the human race, the course includes historical development in
Europe up to the Treaty of Paris ( 1763).
A year's work in Modern European History is offered to sophomores and
juniors who have completed the previous course. They study the political and industrial problems in Europe since the beginning of the eighteenth century.
American History and Civics are now required of all seniors. During the first
semester the class takes up a rapid survey of American History from the first colonization to present day developments. A thesis is required for each semester. The
second semester is spent in the stud}' of American Government, its organization and
development.
HOUSEHOLD ARTS
The course in Clothing and Millinery is usually offered to freshmen; however,
students from the upper classes may be admitted by special permission. The course
consists of a study of textiles, garment making, elementary dressmaking, and millinery. The student is also taught how to make a clothing budget. The course in
Foods and Cooking is usually offered to sophomores, although others may be admitted by special permission. This course deals in the selection, preparation, and preservation of foods, planning and serving of meals, marketing, and the principles of
family budgeting.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT
LATIN-
The high school offers four years of work in Latin. This work has several
important aims. Primarily, it is planned to give the student a better understanding of
the principles of English grammar, through which he will obtain a greater ability to
speak and write English correctly and effectively. Scarcely less important as an aim
is the understanding of the life, history, institutions, laws, customs, mythology, and
religion of the Roman people.
In the work of the first year close attention is paid to the fundamental principles of Latin grammar and to pronunciation, word order and vocabulary. The
students in Latin II translate parts of Caesar's Gallic Wars. The third and fourth
years alternate; one year the Orations of Cicero are translated and the next year,
Virgil's Aenrid.
FRENCH—
Two years of work in French are offered in the high school. The object of
this course is to acquaint the student with the customs, people, language, and literature of France.
The first year the student is carefully trained in pronunciation, forms and principles. The second year a fundamental review of French grammar is conducted.
Oral French receives great emphasis. Letter-writing is required and some short
plays are presented. The student is required to read a considerable amount of modern
French prose.
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
Three years of work are offered in Mathematics, although colleges require only
two years' work in this department—Algebra and Plane Geometry. Students planning to take Chemistry or Physics are required to take Elementary Algebra. In this
age of machines, modern life demands a knowledge of mathematics.
Elementary Algebra is a year's course offered to freshmen. When the student
has completed that course he may register for a year's work in Plane Geometry.
A one-semester's course in Solid Geometry is open to students who have completed the first two years. The following semester a course in Advanced Algebra
is open to anyone who has had the first year's work.
A semester of Trigonometry is offered if there are enough interested students
to make a class. This work is for those who plan to carry on their study of mathematics. They are required to have completed the work in all the courses and should
have received high averages.
15
The Silver Kewanite
MANUAL ARTS
The courses in Manual Arts are Manual 'Framing I and II and Mechanical
Drawing III. Woodworking and Mechanical Drawing are equally emphasized.
Manual Training I is a year's course open to freshman students. Its purpose is to
acquaint the student with the use of tools and to cultivate his constructive ability.
It also determines liking and fitness for shop jobs. A course in Manual Training II
covering one year is open to students who have completed the work in Manual
Training I. This work is a continuation of the work offered the first year. Mechanical Drawing III is open to students who have completed Manual Training I and II,
and who desire a further knowledge of drafting. The course is divided into two
parts. Machine drawing is studied the first semester and architectural drawing the
second. A semester course in sheet metal work is offered to students who have had
some experience in mechanical drawing if there is a sufficient number interested.
The course is divided into drafting room practice and shop practice.
MUSIC
The Music Department in the high school consists of the Boys' Glee Club,
the Girls' Glee Club, the Chorus, and the school Orchestra and Band. All students
in this department are required to be present at all public appearances in order to
receive credit, as there is no outside preparation. Most of the classes in music meet
twice a week.
Students are admitted to the glee clubs by try-outs. Preference is given to those
with the best vocal ability. In addition to the regular bi-weekly meetings, both clubs
meet together in the chorus once a week.
Orchestra is open to anyone with the necessary ability. It provides considerable
experience in ensemble playing. Each year the orchestra makes several appearances
before the school. The band, made up of all students playing band instruments,
rehearses twice a week. It plays for pep meetings and for all athletic events.
PHYSICAL T R A I N I N G
One year of Physical Training is now required of all students before graduation. The gym classes meet three times a week. The several aims of the course
are corrective, hygienic, educational, and recreational. Postural defects are corrected, and the students are taught to enjoy sports. The boys' gym classes are
conducted in the Central gym. The student participates in calisthenics, games,
basketball, volleyball, and baseball. The girls' gym classes meet in the old high
school gym. The greater emphasis is placed upon informal work, play, and recreation. The students participate in baseball, soccer, volleyball, dancing, and games.
Some drill in calisthenics is given to correct postural defects and to develop strength.
PSYCHOLOGY
As training for those who plan to teach, a year's course in elementary psychology
is offered, with special emphasis upon the learning process and upon individual
differences. Lectures, class discussions, reports on outside reading, and some simple
experiments are regular features of the work.

The Sophomore Class
D
O W N the pathway of Time another sophomore class of Kewanee High School
is traveling—the Class of 1933. They aim to leave the high school with many
achievements, both as individuals and as a class, to their credit.
Shortly after school convened the freshmen held an enthusiastic class meeting
and elected Raymond Lippens, president, Philip Wagner, vice-president, Maxine
Lamb, secretary, and Ruth Wesebaum, treasurer. Miss Fleming was chosen class
adviser and the colors of blue and white were chosen to be carried throughout the
high school career of their class.
The freshmen were welcomed into Kewanee High at the Senior-Freshman
reception. This was given in the form of an auto party and proved unique and entertaining. After the class became used to the routine of high school the members gave
their first party, which proved a decided success due to the co-operation of Miss
Fleming.
This, our sophomore year, has found the class broadening out along all lines of
school endeavor. One of the outstanding features was the class party. Many claim
it was the finest party yet given in Kewanee High. The program was so well received
the class was asked to repeat it several times. It was put on before the high school at
general assembly, also before the junior high at Central School. The success of the
party, as well as of other enterprises of the year, was due to the excellent guidance
of the class adviser, Miss Beadle.
Further achievements will be accomplished by the Class of '33. Watch these
sophomores, for their activities will be written indelibly in the annals of Kewanee
Hi<rh School.

The Freshman Class
W
HEN the Class of '34 entered Kewanee High School, every one sat up and
took notice, and why shouldn't they? This is one of the peppiest and most
intelligent classes ever entered in K. H. S.
During the second week of school we held our first class meeting and elected
officers. Miss Hilda Garms was chosen class adviser.
The next class meeting was held to decide class colors. Maroon and grey were
voted on. After investigation it was found that there were seventy more votes than
there were members present. This was very suspicious. Another meeting was held
and green and white were chosen. These did not please some members, so a petition
was sent to Mr. Robinson requesting another vote. This was granted on condition
that we be satisfied with the next colors. Finally we chose purple and gold, not,
however, without much campaigning and argument. No wonder some of the upperclassmen were surprised when, between classes, they heard remarks like this: "Believe me, green and white are best! I have a green and white jacket. Have your
clothes match your colors!" or, "We don't want purple and gold! Gold paint will
cost too much when we paint the stone. What do you think we arer millionaires?"
On the 19th of September, the seniors formally welcomed us to K. H. S. at a
nursery party.
Speaking of parties, the freshmen had a dandy one of their own! It was held
in the Social Room, decorated in orange and black for the occasion. Between the
entertainment and the refreshments the members of the faculty gave a stunt. We
saw ourselves as others see us!
Just watch us! We're going to prove that we have the right spirit. We'll be a
cl^s tjiat Kewanee High will be proud to claim.

T
HIS year Kewanee High School introduced a new form of student government,
a council made up of representatives elected by each Home Room. From its
members this council chose its officers, who automatically served as the officers
of the Student Federation. The president acted as presiding officer, not only at
council meetings, but at all meetings of the student body. The organization was
guided and advised by Mr. Robinson, who acted as the executive branch of the new
government in enforcing the decisions of the council. The experimental factor of
the new government lay in the fact that it transferred student government from the
hands of a few to the hands of many.
The first important act of the council was the organization of the sale of football season tickets, which was conducted directly by the council members and their
agents. Probably the most important decision of the semester was the dropping of
The Tiger as a monthly school publication, a decision only reached after long deliberation by the council. All through the semester the council had charge of the pep
meetings before the various athletic events. They assigned the programs to the
different classes and clubs and arranged for pep talks by business men of the city.
Some of the pep meetings were decidedly original and all were interesting and stimulating. In the last meeting of the council before it went out of office, arrangements
were made for the basketball season and the sale of basketball tickets was launched.

CCORDING to the constitution of the new Student Federation, which provides that the council will serve for a semester only, a new Student Council
was elected at the beginning of the second semester. This group met for the
first time on February 9th and elected its officers.
The important question of student conduct in assemblies and at the school sponsored entertainments was discussed by the council and was by their decree carried to
the Home Rooms. The action provided a fund of honest student opinion to be used
in regulating future entertainments brought before the student body. In the second
council meeting of the semester the financial affairs of the Student Federation were
discussed and the dues for membership were reduced to twenty-five cents a year. The
splendid attendance at athletic contests this year made the question of Federation
finances more simple than was expected.
The Student Council was responsible for presenting the student body the
Mesopotamian, George Elias, who <jave an interesting talk on "The Shepherd of the
Hills".
Although this year has been a trial year and cannot be regarded as a measure of
the efficiency of the new government, yet the council has proved that it offers to all
the students a splendid opportunity to share in student government.

DECLAMATION
G
IRLS' Declamation was the first event of the speech year at Kewanee High.
In the local contest on October 28, Adelaide Baethke was picked to represent
Kewanee in the Big Nine contest on October 31, and Elberta Alexander was
chosen for the Henry County contest in the spring.
The interest among boys was somewhat shifted because of the Big Nine's change
from declamation to oratory. Alva Ripka and Wilbur Lester survived the preliminary try-outs within the school and finally Alva was chosen to represent Kewanee
in the Big Nine contest, which was held in Kewanee December 5.
Our contestants, and Mr. Kaiser, their coach, deserve praise for their fine
showing.
DEBATE
Debate work this year has been expanded to include participation in the Illinois
State High School Literary and Music Association as well as the regular contests in
the Big Nine.
The Big Nine question was: Resolved, That the present tendencies of installment buying, as developed in the United States, should be condemned. The affirmative team was composed of Donald Deyo and Wilbur Lester, the negative of Raymond Lippens and Dorothy Zachan.
The schedule for Big Nine debates was as follows:

The State Association debated the question: Resolved, That chain stores are
detrimental to the public welfare. The affirmative was supported by Alva Ripka,
Harold Powers, and Hugo Haberaecker. The negative was upheld by Fred Brown,
Everett Pyle, and Robert Welch. The schedule of the State team was as follows:

By winning all their debates in the preliminary eliminations, the State team
earned the right to participate in the Western District Tournament held May I.
EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
On April 17, Wilbur Lester represented the school in the Sub-district Extemporaneous Speech contest of the Illinois State High School Literary and Music Association. He took first place at this meet and was thereby qualified to compete in the
District contest at Macomb, May 1, from which the winners went to the State contest on May 16. Raymond Lippens was chosen to represent Kewanee in the Big
Nine Extemporaneous Speech Contest at East Moline on May 2.
Mr. Landuyt, as coach of Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking, has made an
excellent record this year.

T
HE Dramatic Club was organized in November, 1916. Three reasons were
given for having dramatics in Kewanee High School. They were: (1) it trains
the imagination, (2) it aids bodily poise, and (3) it adds value to one's social
responsibilities, that is, it helps to relieve timidity and self-consciousness. During the
fifteen years of its history, the members of the Dramatic Club have kept these
purposes in mind.
In 1926 the Board of Education gave us a new school stage, and this year we
have added materially to its equipment. Through the kindness of last year's
Boosters' Club we were able to purchase two new flood lights, thus greatly increasing our power to produce effective lighting for our plays. The Kewanee Kolor
Klub joined with us to paint some very attractive sets for the Christmas play and for
the One-act Play Contest.
Besides our regular bi-weekly meetings of members we have given these two
public programs this year. For our Christmas play, "Why the Chimes Rang", by
Alden, we sent invitations to the parents of all high school students, and the response
was so enthusiastic that we were compelled to give the play two nights.

Dramatic Club
O
N February 6, we held our annual One-act Play Contest. These performances
were of a very high quality and have added not a little to the good reputation
of the club. The contest has become one of Kewanee High School's major
dramatic activities.
Interclass competition in our regular meetings this year has resulted in better
meetings and added interest. The freshmen gave us a shadow play, "The Cannibal
Love Affair", in which Jane Bradley succeeded in saving her lover from the cannibal's boiling pot and in thrusting her undesired suitor into it. The play showed love
in the rough indeed, but even the freshmen agreed as to its impracticability today.
The sophomores gave a miscellaneous program featuring Virginia Phillips'
dancing and Herman Wotil's accordion playing. The juniors presented a clever
one-act play, "How the Story Grew". The seniors entertained us with a varied program centered around their famous orchestra. The junior program was judged best
by Miss Ewan because, she said, it made the nearest approach to our ideals of
dramatic art.
Another program of special interest this year was a talk by Miss Ewan on
amateur dramatics, illustrated with colored slides. This gave us a better understanding of the greatness of the dramatic field. Miss Ewan stressed the elements of the
dramatic art and the technical features of drama. These included make-up and the
elemental principles of stage setting.
The wise and skillful guidance of Miss Wildred Ewan, adviser, has had a
large part in the success of the year's work.

HE Latin Club of Kewanee High School was organized on October 12, 1926,
by Miss Fern Slusher. The club named itself the Societas Classica and declared
its purpose to be "to create and promote greater interest in classical life and
literature". The constitution provided for sixty-five active members, students in
advanced Latin courses, and for fifteen associate members, students in Latin I making a grade of 85 or better. James Talbot was elected first president of the club.
During the years of its existence the club has tried faithfully to live up to its
purpose. Its programs have been planned to contribute each meeting to the members'
understanding of the Roman people, their life and customs. Short plays of Roman
life, carefully prepared talks on features of Roman civilization, Latin songs and
dances, together with a party or two, constitute the program of the club for the year.
The Latin Club has done its share toward helping and improving our school,
by purchasing and presenting to our library three new books.

N the fall of 1928 several very enthusiastic art students organized the Kolor
Klub, for the purpose of studying color, the basis of all art, in relation to craft,
design, and pictures, and to further interest in art among the students. Joseph
Eldridge was the first president of the organization, and in 1930, Walter Wilke
was president.
The annual feature of the club's work has been an exhibition tea. Prints of
water colors by Pierre Vignal were exhibited and sold in 1920 and 1930, and the
money added to the treasury of the club. This year the club invited the faculty and
the members of the Woman's Club to an exhibit of etchings from Stromberg's
Galleries, Galesburg. Since the Art Department has obtained, this year ,a hand-press
for block printing, the club was able to send out two hundred hand-blocked invitations for this event.
For this year's program, the club undertook a study of stage-craft. Working
with the Dramatic Club on the Christmas play, they took entire charge of the lights,
stage scenery, and posters, with great success. They prepared and sent out seven
hundred and fifty hand-blocked invitations to the performance. Since then the club
has made the scenery for three one-act plays and has assisted the Glee Club in
preparing the stage sets for the operetta.

The Hi-Y Club
P
ROBABLY there is no organization in the Kewanee High School which aims
at a higher mark than does the Hi-Y. The purpose of the club is to create,
maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of
Christian character.
The officers for the first semester of the school year 1930-1931 were: Henry
Lowe, president; Donald Deyo, vice-president; Robert Eastman, secretary-treasurer.
It was decided at the beginning of the year to have a meeting every week at the
Y. M. C. A., with the exception of the last week of each month, on which a dinner
was held at the Methodist church. Several interesting meetings were held under
the direction of these officers.
A large number of Hi-Y boys were delegates to the annual State Older Boys'
Conference, held at Aurora, November 29, 30, and December 1. The boys who
attended the conference were: Lowe, Deyo, Kirley, Jackson, Taylor, Dines, Welch,
Glidden, Meier, and Hill. Then on February 8, 1931, a committee composed of
Lowe, Kirley, Jackson, and Mr. Carman, went to Princeton to make arrangements
for the district Older Boys' Conference, which was held March 21 at Princeton.
The officers for the second semester were: Frank Kirley, president; Chalmer
Price, vice-president; and Phil Wagner, secretary-treasurer. Under the direction of
these officers the Hi-Y Club sponsored "Marquis the Magician" on January 28, 193 1.
The second annual Hi-Y dance was held at Midland Country Club, May 8,
193 1. This is a function always looked forward to by all members.
The Hi-Y Club is under the supervision of Mr. "Jud" Carman, Y. M. C. A.
adviser, and Mr. R. M. Robinson, high school adviser. The Hi-Y Club tries to set
an example for the entire student body.

Bookkeeping Team
T
HE Bookkeeping Team of 1930, consisting of Helen Cronau, Lottie Dagger,
and Carol Smith, succeeded in winning the highest honors in the Illinois State
Commercial Contest at Normal, May 17, 1930. This is the first time that
Kewanee has won such distinction with a first-year team, a second-year team having
won first place in 1927. Kewanee teams, however, have always placed high 111
previous contests.
The contests were organized to create interest and promote high standards
among the teachers and students in commercial subjects, and to hold annual contests
tc determine district and state champions. Any public or parochial high school in
Illinois may enter contestants in the contests.
The team entered the District contest at Princeton with the determination to
win. They came out with high honors, winning first place in the team event and
first and third places in individual event. Encouraged by their success, they participated in the Section event held at Kewanee. They were less fortunate here, and
came out second, with Rock Island winning first by a fraction of a point. Still
undaunted, they went to Normal, where the State contest was held. Their hard
work and persistence were rewarded here, for the team came out as State champions.
Lottie Dugger won third place in the individual event.
The Kewanee team feels very proud that we defeated the teams of Champaign,
Peoria Central, Chicago, and Decatur, who placed 9th, 12th, 16th, and 17th,
respectively.
Much credit is due to Mr. Stronks, their coach, and also Cecil Stiff, whose
enthusiastic assistance after school hours was a large factor in spurring the team
to success.

HE Band, the real pep machine of the school, has served its purpose this year
hetter than ever. It played at almost all foothall and basketball games, and
made out-of-town trips to Geneseo, Princeton, and the District Tournament at
Moline, where its presence and its stirring playing supported our cheer section and
inspired our players. During the year the Band was a regular part of the pep
meetings, thrilling the students with its regular finale, the school song, played with
stirring rhythm.
The Band also appeared in public at the dedication of the new Irving School,
at the Music Week Demonstration program, and on Class Night.
This year the Band was composed of seventeen members, with the instrumentation fairly well balanced. Snappy marches, and difficult overtures and selections
were played in creditable style.
To Mr. Lantz belongs part of the credit for the success of the Band this year,
for he has directed its development.

HIS year the Orchestra was composed of fourteen players. Many of these were
new to the organization, so that a great deal of time was spent in getting used
to playing together and in developing the ensemhle. Because of this the
Orchestra did not play in public many times.
Among the public appearances of the Orchestra were a part on the Christmas
program, the overture to the operetta, "The Lucky Jade", and a part on the program
Commencement night. Judging from these performances the school regrets that it
lias not heard the Orchestra more often during the year.
One member of the group, Hugo Haberaecker, was selected as a member of the
All-State Orchestra which played at the University of Illinois at the time of the
High School Conference. Since only four people from the group will graduate this
year, there will be a good foundation of experienced players left for next year's
orchestra.
Mr. Lantz, director of music, has organized and directed the Orchestra, and
deserves much credit for his work.

The Glee Clubs
T
HIS year the Glee Clubs were made up of thirty-seven girls and eleven boys,
about the same number as in former years. Besides the regular meetings of
separate clubs and of the two combined, both Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs
joined in the major work of the year, the production of the annual operetta on April
ioth. This year the performance was "The Lucky Jade".
Members of the Glee Club have appeared several times outside of the regular
school schedule, in addition to the appearance of the combined organization on the
program for the senior Baccalaureate service.
Four members of the group have represented us in state and national choruses.
Elizabeth Bruner and Mahlon Mercer sang in the All-State Chorus at the University
of Illinois in November at the time of the High School Conference there. Jane
Moore was in the National High School Chorus, which sang at Detroit in February,
and Elizabeth Bruner and Dorothy Robinson were members of the North Central
Chorus which appeared on the program of the sectional meeting of the Music Supervisers' Conference in Des Moines in April. This is the first year Kewanee has been
represented in any of the above groups, a new honor of which we can justly feel
proud.
The Glee Clubs of Kewanee High School have been able to take first place at
the Henry County meet during several previous years and hope to do as well this
year.
Much of the credit for the work this year is due to the able accompaniment of
Elizabeth Carpenter, and to the skillful direction of Mr. Lantz.

N April io, the Glee Clubs presented the operetta, "The Lucky Jade", to a
packed house whose enthusiastic comments proved that each person present had
enjoyed the performance. An interesting plot, clever lines, and tuneful melodies, together with an excellent cast, made it one of the best operettas ever produced
by Kewanee High. Special praise is due to Tane Moore and Maurice Eastin, whose
excellent voices have delighted the school for several years, and whose graduation this
year will leave a real vacancy in the Music Department.
The story of the operetta concerned a piece of jade that had its origin in a
voodoo temple in Africa where it was stolen years ago by a trader. It turns up in
the possession of a Negro mammy in Virginia, and when it disappears strange and
mysterious things happen. All is well, however, when it is recovered.
Mr. Lantz directed the production and Miss Behr coached the dancing. Both
should be congratulated for the success of the performance.

GYPT'S old splendor of ages past was brought back into our own age at the
Junior-Senior Prom of 1930. In the land of silence, with its pyramids on the
burning sands of mystery, the Class of '31 entertained the seniors at the traditional farewell dance, a big event of the Commencement season.
Towering arches, and scarabs among palm trees, set against a background of
walls covered with age-old sacred hieroglyphics, created an atmosphere which seemed
to the dancers both beautiful and unique. A program composed entirely of talent
from the Class of '31 was a delightful feature of the evening. Between the numbers and after the program, Paul Miller and his orchestra furnished music for the
dancing.
Arranged by a committee of the class, with the help of Miss Savage, the class
adviser, the Prom was voted a decided success. The Class of 1930 will remember
it as a splendid farewell from the class which follows them.

N the fall of 1922, the first Senior Orpheum was given. In the seven years
following, the Orpheum has become a well-established annual event, and has
steadily gained in prominence until it is now on as high a level as the class plays.
This year's show, presented on Friday, December 12th, was a mixture of
dancing, singing, playing, wise-cracking, and other fast-stepping acts of the type
that an audience likes and persists in either sighing or laughing about. The scene
was the deck of a modern ocean-going liner; one could see the cabin and the ship's
rail, and the blue sea in the background. The performance was outstanding in
variety and in quality of entertainment. It was unusual for the fact that it was not
dominated by a few outstanding performers but rather drew from all the talent in
the senior class, boasting, as it did, a cast of eighty members.
Probably the greatest single asset in putting over the show was the Senior
Orchestra. For four years the school has been enjoying their music, but the enjoyment was never so great as in the Orpheum.
Miss Savage and Miss Behr deserve much credit for their direction of the show.

OR their class play this year, the seniors chose something more serious than has
been attempted in Kewanee High School for some time. On May 1st, they
presented "The Enemy", by Charming Pollock, a four-act drama of the
World War, and distinguished themselves in a fitting close to their high school
dramatic activities.
The play takes place in Austria, beginning in the year 1914, when a young
playwright has just sold a play on human brotherhood and the world is shocked by the
news of the death of the Austrian Archduke. It continues through the war years
with their pitiful suffering which cost young Carl his life, to 1919, when the world
settles back into its old groove and his play is again approved. The story portrays
vividly the attitude on "the other side" where all are fighting for "Freedom and
Democracy" as are their enemies. Only Dr. Arndt and his daughter are clearsighted enough to realize how futile the whole struggle is.
The cast portrayed their parts excellently, even though some of the characterization was very difficult.
Mr. Kaiser deserves much praise for his able direction of the play.

N Friday, March 20th, the Class of '32 presented "Square Crooks", a faststepping three-act comedy of the underworld, with its loves, its thrills, and
its crimes. The actors, splendidly cast, played to a packed house, tense with
excitement, and convinced their audience that the junior class can boast some outstanding dramatic ability.
The story centers about a young couple, Eddie and Kay, who live in that vague
borderland of crime where a man, however innocent, is branded by the law as guilty.
Eddie, suspected of a theft of which he is innocent, faces the impossibility of
clearing himself without implicating his friend. But he and his friend play "square"
at all costs, and succeed in incriminating the dishonest detective and freeing themselves. Only Mike Ross, the brutal killer, receives a much-deserved head-full of
lead.
The setting of the play was carefully and effectively worked out. The clever
acting and the fact that almost every other line was a wise-crack, combined a make
the performance hilarious. Much credit for the success of the performance must go
tc Mr. Kaiser, who so skillfully directed it.

Club for their annual Christmas program, held this year on December I 8
and 19. The interest in the work was so great that for the first time in
its history the club was forced to repeat its performance a second time, and both
nights the house was packed. The play was pronounced the best of its sort that has
ever been done by the high school.
The success of the performance was due not only to the splendid acting of the
cast, but to the excellent stage settings designed and made by the Kolor Klub. The
audience gasped in sincere admiration when the dark stone walls of the peasant hut
faded slowly into those of the great cathedral, with its rich altar surmounted by
tall candles and backed by a beautiful stained glass window. The Kolor Klub was
responsible not only for the sets but also for the seven hundred hand-blocked invitations which were sent out for the performance.

HE annual One-act Play contest held by the Dramatic Club occurred this year
on February 6, when the club presented the three plays: "Cinderella Married",
by Rachel Field, "The Pot of Broth", by William Butler Yeats, and "The
Drums of Oude", by Austin Strong. The entire performance was one of unusual
merit, according to the judge, Miss Mildred Hoover, of Hopedale, Illinois.
According to the annual custom of the club, the plays were of three distinct
types, the first a fantasy, the second a farce, and the third a more serious drama. All
three were acted with real skill and insight, and made the decision of the judge a
difficult one. She chose Kathryn Swain, the Cinderella of the first play, as the best
actress of the evening, and Wilbur Lester, the tramp of the second, as the best actor.
"The Drums of Oude" was adjudged the best entire performance, and was chosen
to represent us in the annual tri-city contest held at Princeton on February 28.
Kewanee, Geneseo, and Princeton competed on that night, and although our
players carried off no signal honors, we felt that they distinguished themselves by
their strong performance of a strong play.
To Miss Wildred Ewan, coach of the three plays, goes much of the credit for
their real success.

The "Zip"
T
HE "Zip" is a small paper issued by the Stenographic Department of the school,
and contains material of interest to every member of the school. The fundamental purpose of the paper was to give the second-year shorthand students
experience in operating the new mimeograph, which our department has been able
to purchase as a result of our paper campaign.
It was also felt that there was a place and a need in the school for some means
of furnishing the student body with information concerning the activities of the
school. The "Tiger" was no longer being published; then, too, the modern tendency
of schools of our size seems to be toward the newspaper rather than the more formal
magazine type. So the task was undertaken with the hope that we could serve the
student body in this respect.
There are various divisions of the paper. The "Zip" contains a number of
interesting features, among which will be found the activities of the student body;
a story or an essay containing something of a real human interest; a page of cartoons, whose story is centered around some student or class or activity; an "I Wonder
Why" column, full of fun and laughter; and then came our jokes about different
students—if anyone came to the "ken" of our joke editor, it was sure to reach the
public in the form of a witty dialogue; and last but not least was the booster spirit
of our editors toward every activity of the school. Our advertising department
endeavored through original advertisements to encourage student interest and co-operation in each activity. Their aim was to be constructive supporters and moulders of
student sentiment.
When we first started to publish the paper, it was agreed that the staff should
be changed every six weeks, and since this is a bi-weekly paper, each staff should
publish three issues. In order to have a trained staff for the coming1 year, we
planned to use the seniors for the main members of the staff and the juniors for
assistants. The first editor was Carol Smith, with Virginia Dana as her assistant;
Lottie Dugger was the second editor, assisted by Helen Cronau.
Under the guidance of Miss Stewart, Miss Miller, and Miss Harper, the paper
proved quite a success and we feel that our efforts were not in vain. The paper was
also a success from the financial standpoint. We are using the money to purchase
stencils and to finance the State and Big Nine Stenographic Contests which are held
each spring.

T was only through hard practice and strict training that a team could learn to
play the brand of football that Kewanee played this year, and much of the credit
for this must go to our coaches, who did their very best to keep the boys in perfect
condition and to see that the team practiced hard and regularly. Coach Ross Anderson, assisted by Coach Stevens, turned out such a football eleven as is rarely seen
in any high school, regardless of size.
To Coach Galen Landis goes a large amount of credit for the remarkable
success of our "shock troops". It is with this man that the boys become accustomed
to the game so that they will be able to fill the places on the first team that are left
vacant every year. We are positive that after the fine showing made by Landis' boys
this year Kewanee High is destined to have some mighty good teams in the near
future.
After a most successful football campaign, Coach Anderson turned his attention
tc basketball and produced a team that went further toward a state championship
than any team in the history of the school. Although at first the team did not look
like championship calibre, under the careful instruction of Coach Anderson they
were developed into one of the smoothest running basketball machines ever seen
in Kewanee.
Our second team in basketball, under the capable coaching of Mr. Stevens,
turned out to be a team that was indeed a credit to the school. Coach Stevens has the
job in basketball that Coach Landis has in football, the training of the new material
that comes into school each year, so that they will understand the principles of the
game when it comes their turn to take their places on the first team.
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Landis have won the deepest respect of
the entire school, for the wonderful work they have done with the boys in turning
out these teams, which have been a great credit to the school, not only in Kewanee,
but throughout the entire state.

OE T H O M S O N deserves a good deal of credit this year for his fine work as
manager of our football team. Joe worked hard all year and certainly helped a
great deal in making our team a success. For assistants he had "Bert" Taylor
and "Bill" Dines, who helped do the strenuous work connected with the managership. These three boys were on hand at all the games to give aid to the team or
coach when needed.
During basketball season Bert Taylor took over the duties of manager, assisted
by Bill Dines. These boys were good, steady workers throughout the long basketball
schedule and undoubtedly helped in making our team go far toward a state
championship as it did.
The student body will probably never realize the magnitude of the work that
these boys do for the team and for the school every year. They work quietly and
steadily, without any of the honor and glory that the boys on the team receive, yet
a large amount of the team's success depends upon them.
We were indeed fortunate this year in obtaining "Chuck" Meier for our cheer
leader. Chuck came here from Wethersfield, where he had learned to be a real
cheer leader. He kept the student body "going" at all the games and this is certainly
one reason why our teams were always fighting till the last and coming out ahead.
Daryle Bennison was always on hand when Chuck wasn't, and he did a fine job this
year in promoting "pep" in the students and "fight" in the teams.
Again we have a case where the students do not realize the good work these
boys do in making our teams what they are. We owe all these fellows our most
sincere thanks for their efforts.

EWANEE HIGH SCHOOL opened the 193 I football schedule by defeating
the strong team of Trinity High from Bloomington, the first time in history
that Kewanee played Bloomington. Five minutes after the game started
Kewanee had put the ball across the goal for the first touchdown of the season. The
half ended 12 to o for Kewanee. In the second half our second team was used.
In the next game, against Galva High, Kewanee's first and second teams
gained the distinction of making nearly a point a minute. Enough said! Against
Rock Island the team played very good football and won by a score of 21-0. In the
game with Moline, Kewanee played the finest football of the year. Although we
lost the game and also our chance for first place in the Big Nine Conference, we
outplayed Moline in every department of play. It was a hard game to lose.
After the fierce Moline game, our team was in a poor condition to meet the
strong Spring Valley eleven, and at their hands we were given the worst defeat of
the year. The less said, the better! Our last out-of-town game was played at
Geneseo; we came home with victory but very little enthusiasm. The strong Galesburg eleven was next on our schedule and the team, again in high spirits, walked
away with victory. Galesburg did not make a single first down.
In the inter-city classic between Kewanee and Wethersfield our team displayed
a smooth pass attack that downed the "Goose Island" eleven with ease. Our "shock
troops" saw plenty of action in this game.
Revenge was sweet against Princeton this year after our stinging defeat of
last year. Our team ran up and down the field for an overwhelming victory in the
"Turkey Day" classic. Princeton was unable to score during the entire game.

KEWANEE HIGH had a reserve team to be proud of this year. Playing a fivegame schedule, they finished the season without a defeat, showing some very
promising material for the first team next year.
In the first game of the year, the Reserves downed the Woodhull first team
by a score of 13 to 8. Kewanee made their first touchdown in the second quarter
when they recovered a fumble on the 20-yard line. In the third quarter both teams
scored; in the last quarter there was no scoring by either team.
The second game of the season was played at Geneseo, where we won, 12 to o.
Kewanee scored both in the second quarter and in the last quarter, while Geneseo
did not threaten at any time.
Although much outweighed by a heavy Galesburg team, our classy little
Reserves went out and played the Galesburg team to a o to o tie.
At Princeton we again played to a o to o tie. Although both teams threatened
many times, neither could put the ball across.
The Seconds finished their season by defeating Geneseo in a return game, 12
to 6. We scored touchdowns in the second and third quarters and then Geneseo
opened up on passes, scored one touchdown, and was within five yards of another
when one of their short passes was intercepted by Kewanee, and the game was over.

Football Season
B
EYOND a doubt the 1931 team was one of the greatest in the history of
Kewanee High School. It played nine of the best teams in this locality and
was defeated only twice, once by fate and once by a better team. Only three
of these nine teams ever crossed our goal line, and two of these crossed it only once,
indeed a record to be proud of. We made a total of 179 points against our opponents' 38 points. In only two games were we held scoreless. These few statistics
show that we excelled in all parts of the game.
For the first time the Big Nine Conference was run on a percentage basis. We
played five Conference games and won four, losing only to Moline, by a score of
6 to o. This record gave us second place in the Conference standing.
By defeating Princeton High this year, Kewanee took the first step toward
permanent possession of the new football trophy offered by The Star-Courier to the
team winning the first two out of three games.
Our football field was equipped with a fine lighting system this year and all
our games were played under the "bright lights". This gave the business men a
chance to see the games. The crowds increased, and the enthusiasm and pep of the
student body showed a very marked contrast to that of previous years. Perhaps the
largest crowd ever to witness a football game in Kewanee turned out to see our
championship game with Moline. It was estimated that there were 3,500 people
there, a fine attendance at a high school game in this city.
This year's team was led by the fighting Harold Strom, who did a great job
in the line at guard. Also at guard we had Robert Chambers, Steve Borota, and
Henry Lowe, who all did their part in breaking up the opponent's line. At end we
had Walter Davidovich and Gauze O'Connor, who were especially apt at snagging
passes and holding out their man. At tackle we could always rely on Francis Euard
and Robert Glidden. Wendell Swain and Chalmer Price held down the center
position in the line and did a very good job of it, too. For ball carriers we had the
fullbacks, Lennart Peterson and Edward Albrecht, who were always good for a
first down when a few yards were needed on a line plunge. Our halfbacks were
Dan Goode, Barney Yanuskus, and the speedy John O'Connor, who made more
long runs than any other man on the team. Warren Rouse called the signals for
the team this year and showed quick thinking in his choice of plays. John Easley
always had plenty of fight and used it to the best advantage in his position at end.
Frank Marzalek, besides being a good tackle, was one of the best punters ever to be
seen on a high school team here. All of these boys worked hard in all kinds of
weather and deserve a great deal of credit for the honor they have brought to
the school.
Great things are expected of the coming football teams at Kewanee High. Next
year they are going to play Peoria Central and many other strong teams, a very
attractive schedule to be played under the lights of the Playground.

The Basketball Squad
KEWANEE HIGH opened up their 1930-31 basketball season by defeating
Knoxville High in a very close game by a score of 13 to 17. In the second
frame of the year we journeyed to Pekin and received a 26 to 8 defeat by the
fast Pekin team, and the same week were defeated 20 to 9 at East Moline.
In our first intersectional game we played Burgettstown, Pa., and downed them
by a score of 20 to 13. Then we met the speedy Moline five and in one of the
fastest games of the year we turned them back with a 20 to 16 score.
In our return game with Knoxville we were beaten 24 to 16. After the Knoxville game our team started playing the kind of ball that made them famous in the
tournaments to come. We won the next six games in succession, defeating such
teams as Geneseo, Wethersfield, Monmouth, Streator, Princeton, and Rock Island.
With the exception of the Streator game, Kewanee swept through these with comparative ease. The game with Streator was the most exciting game of the year.
With the teams tied at 22 all, it was necessary to play an overtime period, in which
Kewanee nosed out a one-point lead.
At Streator we were not so fortunate as before and were defeated in another
close game 24 to 27. Then Galesburg came down with one of the fastest teams
ever to be developed in the "College City" and beat us 31 to 14.
Our return game with Wethersfield was easily won by a score of 23 to 17.
Then at Canton we lost the most heart-breaking game of the year. With the score
tied, one of the Canton men shot a basket from the opposite end of the gym, winning
the game 18 to 16. We closed our scheduled season by defeating Princeton 23 to 18.
THE SECOND TEAM
Kewanee's second team had a very successful season this year, playing a thirteengame schedule and defeating such teams as Knoxville, Annawan, Wethersfield,
Monmouth, and Princeton.
Moline gave us one of our worst defeats, 24 to 11. In the Geneseo game, one
of the most exciting games of the year, neither team was ever more than one basket
ahead of the other. Kewanee was beaten by one basket.
Among the heart-breakers for the team was undoubtedly the return game with
Knoxville. Here we lost for want of a single foul shot. We also lost to Rock
Island and Galesburg by very close scores. Our seconds downed Wethersfield twice
and divided honors with Knoxville. We beat Princeton twice. We defeated the
first team from Annawan 22 to 13. At Canton, however, much handicapped by
their shortness, our boys were beaten 23 to 8.
Altogether the second team won seven games and lost six, making their percentage above .500, an excellent record for a second team. Many of their defeats were
by only one or two points, proving that they were even better than the number of
victories would show.

Basketball Season
O
UR 1930-31 basketball team was the finest team that Kewanee High has ever
had. They played the hardest schedule on record, meeting such teams as
Moline, Streator, Canton, and Galesburg. They came through a seventeengame season with eleven victories and only six defeats. Besides this, our team
placed second in the Sectional Tournament, higher than any Kewanee team has
ever placed before.
At first no one dreamed that we would have a championship team by the end
of the season. The team started off rather slowly and did not show much promise.
But about the middle of the season the boys started playing better basketball and ran
up a string of six straight victories.
Kewanee participated in three tournaments this year, the Henry County at
Orion, the District at Kewanee, and the Sectional at Moline. The Henry County
Tournament was held at the first of the season when our team had not yet hit its
stride. In the first game we met Geneseo and squeezed out an 18 to 15 victory.
Then we came up against Orion and were beaten 19 to 15 and thus eliminated from
the tournament. By the time the District Tournament came around, our team was
going full blast, and in the first game of the tournament we met Wethersfield and
downed them by a score of 29 to 20. Our next game was against Galva High, and
we easily defeated them 30 to 9. In the semi-finals we downed the small Mineral
team 30 to 8. Then we met Sheffield, champions of the Little Eight, in the finals,
and defeated them with very little trouble, 30 to 20. The team was presented with
a beautiful bronze trophy for this victory.
By winning our District Tournament, we were entitled to go to the Sectional
Tournament at Moline. Our first game at Moline was against Milledgeville, whom
we defeated 37 to 15 in a very one-sided game. In our next game we went to
Sterling and in a very close and fast game we finally came out ahead by a 2 2 to 19
score. Then just as we were all set to go to our first state meet, we ran up against
the fast Galesburg team and were defeated by a score of 40 to 16. Galesburg won
second in the state meet this year and so we feel that we were certainly eliminated
by a fine team. For second place in the Sectional Tournament we received a large
trophy to add to our fast-growing collection.
By virtue of our two victories over Princeton High this year, we received the
beautiful trophy presented by the Kewanee Star-Courier for the team winning the
first four games out of seven. We won this trophy by winning four out of the first
five games.
It would not be fair to close this summary without mentioning the boys who
were responsible for making the wonderful record in basketball this year. At forward were Warren Rouse and Harold Strom, who made many a needed point during
the season. At guard we had Chalmer Price, Wendall Swain, and John O'Conner,
who, besides being the main stays in the defense, did a lot to improve the offense
of the team. At center we had Lennart Peterson, who could always be depended
upon to bring the tip-off to Kewanee. At guard we also had the reliable Joe
Thomson, who cost the opponents many a score.

1930 Track
K
EWANEE HIGH had one of the most successful track seasons in 1930 that
it has ever seen. The team participated in six meets. The first, a dual meet
with Princeton, Kewanee won with ease. Next we met Wethersfield and in
a very close meet Kewanee came out three points ahead. Then the season opened
in full when our team journeyed to the Bradley meet at Peoria. Out of the sixtyeight schools which were entered in the meet, we came out in a tie for sixth place,
a very good record for a meet of that kind. Our success in the Bradley meet was
largely due to the little Johnnie O'Conner, who won first in the broad jump and
second in the 440-yard dash.
Kewanee next went to the Sectional Track Meet at Rock Island, where we
came through with third place honors. Our point-getters were John Eshelman, who
won first place in the mile, and Johnnie O'Conner, who won first in both the 50and 2 20-yard dashes. Besides these two places, John was second in the broad jump
and third in the 100-yard dash. Our relay team also won first place. "Fie" Euard
brought us some more points when he finished second in the 440-yard dash.
At the Big Nine Meet Kewanee took fourth place. As usual, John O'Conner
was responsible for most of our points, this time the 100- and 220-yard dashes. The
relay team also placed first in this event.
The final meet of the year was the Henry County, in which Kewanee made a
grand finale by winning easily. Here John O'Conner took first in the 100- and
200-yard dashes as well as first place in the broad jump. Eshelman won the mile.
Euard won the 440-yard dash and Gause O'Conner won the low hurdle race. The
relay team won first place, also. Besides John O'Conner the 1930 team consisted
of Gause O'Conner, Albrecht, Euard, Peden, Eshelman, Peterson, Marzalek, Arnquist, Goode, Chambers, and Engstrom.
Besides placing high in all the meets which they attended, these boys broke
many of the long-standing Kewanee High School records. John O'Conner broke
the school broad jump record at the Big Nine Meet when he leaped 21 feet and
3 inches. At the Bradley meet John broke the 440-yard dash record by running it
in 53.4 seconds. At the District meet he broke the 220-yard dash record by running
it in 23.1 seconds. At the Henry County John tied Pete Yanuskus' record of 10.4
seconds in the 100-yard dash. John broke the record in nearly all the events he
entered during the year. In addition, the school javelin throw record was broken
by Benjamin Arnquist, who hurled the spear through the air 101 feet 11 inches,
and also the school high jump record, which was made in 1925, was broken by
"Fuzz" Marzalek at the Henry County Meet when he stepped over the bar at 5 feet
7->4 inches. The other outstanding feature of 1930 track was the fine relay team,
composed of John O'Conner, Gause O'Conner, Johnnie Easley, and Francis Euard,
which won the relay race in every meet except the Bradley.

The Silver
Kewanite
1931 Track
K
EWANEE HIGH has a very bright outlook for the 1931 track team. With
nine lettermen back from last year, this year's team should prove to be one of
the best we have ever seen. Among the star performers of last year's team
that are back this year is John O'Conner, whose name has played such an outstanding part in Kewanee High sports in the last four years. Johnnie broke many a longstanding track record last year, and we are sure he will do even more this year. In
recognition of his outstanding work in all fields of athletics, Johnnie has been
elected captain of this year's track team, along with "Fuzz" Marzalek, who is also
back this year to help out the team. "Fuzz" did great things in the high jump last
year and will undoubtedly make many a point for the team this year. Other men
who are back are Edward Albrecht, William Blake, Francis Euard, and four other
lettermen to form a nucleus for this year's track team.
So far this year we have participated in three meets. First there was a dual
meet with Wethersfield, which we won very easily. We then went to the Toulon
Invitational Meet where we placed third, with only Peoria Central and Peoria
Manual ahead of us. At the Ottawa Invitational Meet we did not place. The team
was greatly handicapped there because Johnnie O'Conner had an injured leg and
could not take part.
As we go to press before the really important meets of the year come off, we
can only guess at the outcome of these meets. However, we do not think that we
shall miss our guess far if we predict that Kewanee will stand high in the remaining contests.

ALREADY this year the boys have started to break records which have been set
many years back, and all indications are that they will shatter many more before
the curtain falls on this year's track.
Edward Albrecht broke the school record for the half mile run at the Toulon
meet by running the distance in 2 minutes and 10 seconds. This year at the Toulon
meet Johnnie O'Conner broke the record for the ioo-yard dash by running it in
10.1 seconds. Johnnie tied Pete Yanuskus' record in this dash last year by running
it in 10.4 seconds, and now he lias shattered that by three-tenths of a second. It
looks as if Johnnie were getting faster every year. Last year's relay team was exceptionally good, but this year we have even a better one, composed of the two O'Conner brothers, Francis Euard, and Ray Lindquist. These boys tied the school record
for the half mile set in 1925 by the team composed of Murphy, Lamberty, Stegall,
and Coplan. The}' both ran it in 1 minute and 36 seconds. Before the year is over
it is very probable that this record will be lowered still further by this year's team.
Taking all this into consideration, we repeat that our forecast for Kewanee
High's track team this year is very encouraging. On May 2, the boys will compete
at the Big Nine Track Meet, on May 9 at the Sectional Meet, and on May 15 at
the Henry County Meet.
As we look back over all the sports of the year, we must truthfully say that we
have had one of the most successful years in our history. Next year many of the
boys who made this record will be gone from this institution, but they will carry
with them man)- memories of the fine sports in 1930-31 at Kewanee High School.

Tennis and Golf
I
N the spring of the year 1930 Kewanee High picked the school's first tennis and
golf teams, in order that we might be represented in the Golf and Tennis
Tournaments to be held at Moline in conjunction with the Sectional Track
Meet. In golf, all those shooting within twenty strokes of par on eighteen holes
qualified to play in the State Tournament at the University of Illinois during interscholastic week. In tennis the winner and runner-up at the Sectional qualified to
play in the State Tennis Tournament at Illinois at the same time as the golf match.
Last year our tennis team was picked by means of an elimination tournament,
in which Peterson and Kirley came out ahead to represent the singles players. In the
doubles tournament Reece and Kirley, and Eastin and King were victorious. As
fate would have it, these boys did not get to go to the Sectional due to a misunderstanding concerning the date of the meet. There was, however, a very interesting
tournament held here to pick the team, and the boys all had good experience, as well
as a good time playing, for after all this is one sport which can be enjoyed by the
participant whether he wins or loses.
The golf team was picked by having all the fellows interested in trying out
for the team play eighteen holes at Midland Country Club and eighteen holes at
Baker Park. In this way it was made fair to those who were used to playing at
either place. The four lowest scores were made by Henry Lowe, Don Deyo, Prank
McDermott, and Fred Wysowski. Of these four, all but Wysowski went to the
Sectional. Lowe and McDermott qualified for the State and were allowed to play
at the University of Illinois.
This year the teams were picked the same way. In tennis, William Blake and
LeRoy Argus won the singles, while Dwen Freeburg and John Means make up the
only doubles team that has been picked so far.
In golf this year the requirements to go to the Sectional as well as to the Statewere made much harder. To go to the Sectional one must shoot under 90 on
eighteen holes instead of just the four lowest at each school. T o go to the State
one must be among the low four scores at the Sectional instead of just being able to
shoot below twenty above par on eighteen. In our high school only Henry Lowe
and Robert Glidden have qualified for the Sectional.
These boys who have won the right to go to the Sectional with either the golf
or tennis team will play at Moline on May 2. We regret that we will not be able
to publish the results of their efforts, but we are sure they will do their best and
come out with high honors.

N the fall of 1929 all the girls who had won athletic "K"s met with Miss Kathryn Behr, Physical Education instructor, to plan a girls' club. They adopted a
constitution and declared the purpose of the new organization to be " T o promate health education among the girls of Kewanee High and to sponsor and back
as far as possible all athletic events of the school". The Girls' Athletic Association,
as the new club was called, provided that any high school girls who had earned a
certain number of points in gymnastic work would be eligible to join.
This, the club's second year, was naturally more successful than the previous
one. We began our activities with a recital of local talent that proved very entertaining as well as profitable. In Decemher, in the Knights of Columbus rooms, we
entertained the football team at a banquet, followed by a program and an evening
of games.
The first week in March we followed the example of last year by selling
candy and pop at the District Basketball Tournament. On March 30, at the Parkside Hotel, we entertained the basketball team that made such a fine showing there
and in the Moline tournament. After the dinner there was an interesting program,
including; the awarding of the letters by Coach Anderson.

HAT girl doesn't want to get her athletic "K"! Everyone longs to have the
school letter. It used to be that any girl who earned three hundred points
was eligible for this honor, but last year the point system was revised and five
hundred points were placed as the required quota, yet strangely enough, more girls
gained letters in 1930 than ever before. In 1931 the number was slightly less.

There are many ways in which a girl ma}' earn the required number of points.
Active participation in sports such as basketball, soccer, baseball, volley ball, and track,
is the greatest opportunity. Every girl who makes the first team in any of these
sports gets fifty points toward her "K". For making the second team, thirty points
are allowed. In addition, twenty points are given to every member of a championship team in any tournament. Points may be earned for perfect attendance, for a
complete and clean uniform, and for an honor grade in gym work. Each of the
above give fifty points a year. An average of 92 or above in the hygiene tests which
are given throughout the year also gives fifty points. There are definite assignments
in outside reading on hygiene, with regular tests.
Tests may be passed on balance beams, pitching and hatting accuracy, and Indian

[Continued j
The earliest of girls' sports in point of time is soccer, corresponding to the
football season for hoys. Soccer is played instead of hockey because there is a lack
of equipment and space for the latter game. This year the competition in soccer
was between the three gym classes, with the fifth period class as victor. Miss Behr
hopes to make soccer an interclass sport next year.
Between the soccer season and the basketball season is a period of calisthenics
and apparatus work, including work on the Danish box, the horse, the flying rings,
and in elementary tumbling, are of prime importance. It is necessary to make a
high score in eight out of ten tests to get points.
Basketball begins before Christmas vacation. Both interclass and gym class
tournaments are held. This year the Class of '31 won the interclass tournament for
the second successive year. In the gym class tournament the fifth period class was
champion this year. The winning team included: Gardner, DeRaedt, Hepner,
Leggett, Pasiskevich, M. Taliaferro, Reno, Gustafson, and Greicius.
Volley ball follows basketball in the sport year. A certain number of practices
are required before one is eligible for the team. This year it was necessary to win
three out of four games instead of the usual two out of three.
This is only the second year that girls have really done any work in track.
The available events are: 50-yard dash, 60-yard high hurdles, high jump, running
broad jump, and obstacle relay. Track competition is strictly interclass. It is also
possible to earn points for a "K" by passing certain tests in track work without ever
making the track team. The track manager is Ruth Gamble. Along with track
comes baseball, strictly an interclass sport. Ruth Hill is the manager.
Tennis is popular with the girls in the spring. Tournaments are held every
year. Twelve hours of practice outside of school are necessary to make a girl eligible
to compete. The games, both singles and doubles, are played off in a draw tournament. Points are given for first and second place winners in doubles and for the
first four places in singles.
This year marked the beginning of a swimming class for girls. No points are
yet given for this. Most of the work is purely elementary and progressive tests are
given. Next year it is hoped that a regular point system may be worked out for
swimming and that the girls will be able to put on a swimming pageant.
Physical education will be required of all girls all four years of school beginning with the freshman class next year. This will be beneficial because instead of
concentrating gym work into three periods a week for one year, there will be two
periods a week for four years. This will probably stimulate interclass competition.

On one of those blissful July
mornings which have been so prevalent lately, Principal R. M. Robinson joyfully burst into the juniorsenior sub and made a most startling and absurd announcement. He
stated that on January 1, 1945, our
good old music assemblies would
be started again.
This was quite a blow, and so
great was the excitement and rage
among the students that Mr. Landuyt was afraid of a riot. When
the disturbance had partly ceased,
the honorable class presidents,
Lowe and Goode, expressed their
opinions on the matter.
Quoth Mr. Lowe: "It's an outrage! An absolute outrage! Music
assemblies are a detriment to the
community. Any school that can
sink so low as to allow music
assemblies ought to be burned."
Goode argues: "Besides, it is
rather embarrassing for such lads
as Moppie Chambers to have to sit
with the girls and sing soprano.
Who knows? Nancy Helen Stevens
may not have a good voice, anyway."
It was at last decided to prolong
the said time until 1960.

Kewanee High School has the
distinction of having one of its
students introducing a new type of
endurance contest—not tree-sitting,
canoeing, or even necking. William
Baird White came forth with something decidedly new and different
the other day in seventh period
study hall.
Mr. White was too absorbed, in
Miss Hatch's opinion, in a stack of
magazines which he was holding
to accomplish his usual quota of
excellent work during the period.
Because of this fact the said Miss
Hatch suggested he hold these
magagines on his head for the
whole hour. Should one fall off.
Baird would be sent to the office.
Anyway, he fooled us all and kept
the books there until 3:45 and the
remarkable thing was that he managed to sleep in such a position!
All we have to say is, "Some sense
of balance, Baird," (or is it just a
flat head?)
Note: It was rumored that Baird
was having the idea copyrighted
until Miss Hatch demanded her
share of the proceeds, as she
claimed the idea.
Cecil Stiff, valedictorian, when
interviewed, stated that he intended to open up a chicken farm when
he left school. Cecil, don't waste
your talents! You should go into
the show producing business, because you sure know your figures!

Frank and Marge had been fighting for exactly four years, three

May 3. By a coincidence, that is
exactly the length of time they

Loyal supporters of Kewanee
High School cheered lustily when,
in an address before the extinct
Boosters' club yesterday, Principal
Robinson enumerated the special
advantages of K. H. S. in an effort
to encourage membership in the
institution. Among the long list of
advantages, he gave these few:
1. No teacher can torture a student with lessons for more than
forty-five minutes at a time.
2. Every student has an equal
chance to perfect himself in the
manly art of shooting staples,
tacks, or what have you (and an
equal chance to get caught at it).
3. The library offers exceptional opportunities for conversation.
4. Those who distinguish themselves during their four years may
be given the chance to become
Kewaniters and thus to learn all
the school scandal.
5. The school offers a real athletic program featuring dancing
and playing in a jazz band.
6. There are unlimited opportunities for self-help as the teachers do not (?) notice cribbing.
7. The school fosters the very
liberal arts, such as breakage tickets and masterpieces by Ruby Graham.
8. There is an interurban line
to Galva.

STRANGE HOBBY
INJURED IN DIVE
Frank Hyman Kirley, prominent
youth and local manager for the
Curtis Publishing company, was
severely injured in a dive not far
from the high school early this
morning. Reports from the hospital seem to show that his condition is improving rapidly. His condition consists of two legs, not
broken, three heads, not injured,
and nothing else. He is expected
to recover.
Let it be known to the public
that there are two kinds of dives.
We will explain the difference. The
most popular dive is that where a
boy or girl stands on the shore and
dives into a pool of water. This is
not the kind of dive Frank was injured in. Then there is another
kind of dive, but this was not the
kind, either, that little Frankie was
hurt in.
Instead, ladies and gentlemen,
Frank, it is now known, had been
out late the night before. In going
down the rear steps to the typewriting room he lost his balance.
The poor boy collapsed, entered a
tail spin, and while in this condition shot into the typewriting room
feet first. Bumping his head on the
last step, he got a knob that is
very becoming to his sturdy frame.
Little more can be said, except,
watch yourselves or you might go
into a dive and wrhen it comes out
in the paper it might carry the
wrong impression.
DANGER IS AVERTED
AT CENTRAL SCHOOL
A few weeks ago old K. H. S.
came as near to burning down as
it ever has. It was sure a bad
break! Central school was on the
point of being destroyed by fire—
and can't you just see those flames
sweeping over our alma mater?
The casualty was narrowly averted.
Everything was there but the fire.
The Central school children cleared
the building in record time and
everyone expected the fire department at any moment.
It all came about one afternoon
when two of our bold, bad seniors,
namely, Barney Peter Yanuskus
and Walter Davidovich (for pronunciation, ask someone who
knows), being pretty hard up for
something to do, sounded the fire
alarm. We heard that the trick was
highly appreciated by the Central
school authorities. We wouldn't
put anything past Barney, but
Davey!—how COULD you go back
on us that way?
Not long ago, it was revealed to
an astonished world by our inquiring reporter, Miss Elberta Alexander, popular senior girl, was discovered reading a book! When the
said reporter had recovered from
his surprise at finding a senior
reading at all, he was further prostrated to find that the young lady
was learning something from her
leading—an accomplishment supposed heretofore to be extinct
among seniors.
Miss Alexander admitted blushingly (yes, she can blush!) that the
book, "Abe Lincoln Grows Up",
had taught her that the former
president of our country had really
grown to manhood. Never before
had she realized this. The fault is,
of course, not Miss Alexander's, but
should be blamed upon the amazing neglect of the American history
professor who failed to keep her
awake when the fact was discussed
in class.
SENIOR SEEKS
SUCCESS SOON
There is a boy in our ranks who
is destined to rise far above the
heads of his companions and to
outshine the best of them in coming years. None other than Alva
Ripka, folks! The young man will
be a great figure in the history of
this country in the years to come;
mark my words.
Mr. Ripka, in an address on how
to overcome difficulties, stated last
night in Miner's hall that his success (which will come later on, he
is sure) will be due to hard work
and nothing else. He said the most
serious handicap that most young
men have to face is good looks, but
that he has, by sheer will power,
refused to let his beautiful countenance injure his chances. He will
succeed in spite of that!
For his career Mr. Ripka announced that, after carefully reading all the books on vocations, he
had decided to take up golf caddying. It is true, he finds, that there
is a great field in this work, and
that it offers large openings for
many young people who are ambitious enough to take the necessary
training to enter the profession.
In closing his inspiring talk, Mr.
Ripka spoke briefly of his past
work on the golf courses and of
what he intends to accomplish in
the future. He feels that the Midland Country club will benefit materially by his future connection
with their institution.
Miss Jane Elizabeth Anne Moore,
mostly known as More or Less, is
the girl who is the focus of all Kewanee eyes. There is a great thing
coming over her life, one which will
handicap her greatly and to which
she is doomed. Her life is to be
ruined. Here is the fact: Her eyes
are failing, and not a chance is
seen for her recovery.
In Miss Moore's own words we
quote her: "It was about two weeks
ago. Suddenly things went wrong.
In fact, it was during spring vacation. Janet Hill came home for a
couple of days from Northwestern.
She had on a pair of glasses like
those all of the popular co-eds w7ear
on the campus of the big universities.
"The minute I saw those glasses
I knewr that I should have some.
Well, right away I went to the
doctor and had my eyes looked at.
He said they were all right for
seeing even if they were sort of
like a pig's. I insisted that they
ailed me and so picked out the
most elaborate pair of frames that
he had.
"THE GLASSES THAT I NOW
HAVE ARE THE LAST WORD.
j THEY ARE ON A CHAIN AND
I ARE THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS. I also look good in them
and nobody else has any like them.
They are rather hard to keep on
my nose, however. The doctor said
my nose was a little different."
This is her story and she asked
us to print it. She is quite a girl;
yes, yes, quite a girl!

ANSWERS TO LOVE
QUERIES
By Petting Patty
My Dear Miss Petting Patricia—
I am writing to you for a little
kind advice which I have been
needing for some time now. I have
been going with a girl for the past
few months and have suddenly decided that I don't know quite how
to handle her. It isn't that we don't
get along well—for we have never
quarreled. You see, at times when
Anna takes hold of my arm, I feel
rather superfluous. We attend
church regularly and always agree
on the sermon. Do you suppose I
am self-conscious? Please advise.
Thanking you, I am,
Forever,
—William Pitezel.
Dear Mr. Pitezel—
Your
predicament
is most
strange, to be sure. I would suggest joining the choir and this
would not only afford some place
to go, but perhaps you could stir
up an argument about the songs. A
little quarrel always helps matters.
It would also be a good plan to
take hold of her arm at times.
—Petting Patty.
Dear Petting Patty—
As captain of the 1930 football
team, I am writing you for a bit of
sincere advice. Do you know of
any way that a big he-man can lose
some of his sex appeal? Girls continually are falling flat for me and
it always seer^s that I lose interest after the first few dates. My
first flame, Ruth, certainly had me
buffaloed for a while, and then
along came a girl who wrote me
notes in shorthand. Her name
turned out to be Betty Kilby and
we are still crazy about each
other. But here is the tragedy—
the other day I received a note
written in Eskimo; at least I think
it was Eskimo, for not even Cecil
Stiff could translate it. I would be
very thankful for a little advice.
As ever,
—Harold Strom.
Dear Harold—
The only solution to your problem that I have is to forget the
girls and start straight for Eskimo.
The girl who wrote you undoubtedly said she loved you and from
all appearances you would be better off there anyway.
—Patty.
Note: It is customary for football captains to be over-burdened
with sex appeal, so your case is
nothing to be alarmed at.—P. P.

DISCOVERED
Wendell Swain, who has recently been a patient at the St.
Francis hospital, is back at school
again and is doing as well as can
be expected under the circumstances. The students of the high
school were fully convinced that
Wendell was operated on for an
attack of appendicitis, but, according to the statement of Wendell's
little niece, who surely ought to
know, they have been laboring
under a misapprehension. Miss
Virginia, the three-year-old daughter of Dr. Harold Swain, was told
by her father to stay in the car
while he went into the hospital.
Being deprived of the privilege of
seeing her uncle, the little lady
exclaimed: "But I want to see
Wendell's baby, too!"

1930 FOOTBALL
IN A NUTSHELL
In this last, year the Kewanee
Boilermakers did their work on the
waffle iron in top shape, but, we
ask with all sincerity, is there not
too much glory hung on the fine
slender thread of football? No, not
by a long shot. Thus we turn right
around and find ourselves in an
argument. What to do, what to do?
High school is a place where people go when there are hard times
and there is no work. Are we
right? Most decidedly, no. This is
a debate.
If you are able to catch the
swing and rhythm of the above
weighty clauses you are a genius.
The forward trend of the present
is not forward and backwards; it is
to the side; thus the boy who can
side-step and raise part of the hair
lip is a hero. The coming election
will verify the facts. No two people have ever been born alike.
There is one born every minute.
No, most positively, yes.
Thus we come back to the subject, is there or is there not too
much glory hung on the weak,
thick thread of football? It is one
that can be debated, yes. The other
day we were told that if no person
is a nut then the nuts that there
are are on trees and thus we find
the hall tree going to waste.
To settle this question, we reach
this conclusion: A prominent athlete, in this season just gone by by
found one lone pass blocked; it was
his Latin pass. Then he turned on
(Continued on page 14. column 2)
A new era is about to approach
:or Kewanee home-loving folks.
John Willitts and company, builders of fine racing cars, have decided to settle in Kewanee and use
the Kewanee streets for testing
grounds. "There is no better place
in the world to try out cars, especially our fine makes, than on the
Kewanee streets", said Mr. Willitts
in a statement made to the press
last night.
Will Willitts tear up the roads?
This is the speculation that is being discussed on the street coiners today by many local bums, in
view of the coming race in which
the popular Johnnie is a favorite.
There is no better driver in the
country than our local flash, Johnnie.
The car Mr. Willitts will use is
a wonder bird. In an attempt to
deceive the public, John has hidden a fine motor and racing speed
chassis under the old Cheve body
that the youth drives in this vicinity. His motor is said to be the
best buyable, a 1918 make, that is.
His tires are not the customary
silk cord found on the ordinary
racing car, but cracked, shriveled
Centuries.
The little boy could not be found
for an interview, however, until
late this afternoon when your correspondent looked behind a fivecent cigar and found John enjoying
the cool fragrance in the shade of
the band on the big butt.
The outcome of the race is foretold in Mr. Willitt's own words:
"We know we will win. There is
only one chance that we won't.
That is, if our neighbor locks his
garage tonight, the gas question
will be a serious handicap."
ORION MAKES HIT
WITH K. H. S. TEAM
Some time during the basketball
season (so they tell us) a tournament was held at Orion. We don't
remember who won, but of course
that is of slight importance. The
main thing is the fact that our
basketball team had a good time.
It seems that all the girls in
Orion fell flat for Pendy.—And to
think he'd go back on us that way!
To start the evening out right and
to be sure of a good time, Pendy
makes a date with three girls. The
big night comes! He ditches two
of his females and then discovers
that the other can't go. Such is
life, Wendell, but better luck next
time!
He wasn't the only member of
the team who enjoyed himself, how(Continued on page 14, column 2)
Missed Free Throws
Why shouldn't Kewanee High
School burst forth with some real
teams in football and basketball?
If all the players had "steadies" as
ardent as those of "Fuzz" Marzalek
and Dan Goode, our teams would
undoubtedly be the state champions. During the football season
we see Winifred Hayes leaning
over the fence giving "Fuzz" words
of tender encouragement, and, in
basketball, what could be more
touching than to hear Betty say
wistfully: "I want a swisher, Dan?"
—o—
There is no doubt but that we
had a good basketball team this
year but it seems as if Coach
Anderson were taking a lot for
granted when he suggested that the
girls were responsible for the defeats that we had. Perhaps he was
trying to flatter the little boys
when he asked the girls to leave
them alone during tournament
week. The boys won, but we don't
know why. May we suggest that
about a year or so ago a certain
red head's presence at Star-Courier
games was a big factor in Ross
Anderson's playing. Perhaps she is
still the inspiration behind his
work.

Mahlon Mercer is slated to run
the 220 on Ross Anderson's track
team this year. Mercer is the man
for this position. He is in fine condition and when interviewed yesterday sat in a chair and said he
would walk off with all the honors.
Mercer has had much experience
and is a pretty rough baby. He was
in the Dramatic club play and in
the Christmas production.
r\
Albert Carlson, small freshman,
is the man slated for the cross
country team and is also apt to
carry the weight throwing jobs on
this year's team. He is the best
man this side of Baker park. He
achieved his first success on the
football team when he had his own
team that won the wild west end
championship for the Nebraska
Wildcats.
John "Wildcat" Daniel is still in
the hospital recovering from the
last football season. John achieved
great success in the newspapers,
not that he had anything to do
that would influence the Wildcat's
reputation as a journalist. John
will be long remembered in the
portals of K. H. S. as the man who
won the Woodhull game and made
the headlines which read: "JOHN

School starts. Seems sorta good to he back
after all. Victory for the upperclassmen! They
still hold forth in the Auditorium. Most of
the freshmen stayed in their lockers half-hour
period.
Monday, September 15
Eddie Beckman spent two-bits on the pencil
machine at the old library trying to get a pencil
out this morning. Scotty Thomson went over
and collected.
Miss Trask and the Ewans certainly know
how to fool people—they all sat in the back seat
today.
LeRoy Snyder has to sit up in front in music
assembly the rest of the year.—These naughty
little juniors.
Wednesday, September 3
The freshmen have their pencil boxes. School
must have started in earnest for them today.
Eddie Palmer left the drinking cup out of his
pencil box and asked to go home after it.
Thursday, September 4
We are still giving the faculty the once over

Hank Lowe hasn't learned where his sub seat
is yet. Moral: Never leave your seat to make
announcements.

Hurrah! only thirty-five more weeks of

Harold Eshelman got mad and went home
because Mr. Stevens wouldn't let him drink
any sulfuric acid in Chemistry.
Monday, September 8
Don't tell us these freshmen don't know their
stuff. Hayden Roberts wrote a slip to the pencil
sharpener in study hall today and almost burst
into tears when Mr. Stronks wouldn't sign it.
Friday, September 19
Big blow-out tonight. The seniors certainly
entertained the freshmen royally, and found
out that the latter aren't as backward as they're
cracked up to be. But it was a grand affair!
Martha Dennis sure knows how to make the

Good old music assembly.
The solid geometry class got up and left
today when Miss Trask failed to say, "Now
the nice thing about geometry is—".
The juniors haven't caught the spirit of the
sub yet. They're all in their seats at quarter
after. Landuyt rei<nis supreme? ? r ?
The seniors spent all half-hour period today
trying to imagine they were in assembly. Gee,
it was fun.
Virginia Bennison finally gets up enough
courage to walk across the study hall and nonchalantly put her slip on the boys' spindle.
Dramatic Club meeting tonight. Huge attendance of boys!!!r
They practice football under the new lights
tonight for the first time. Monk Strom tried
picking up his shadow a few times, but, other
than that, we think night football will be a
great success.
A miracle occurs—had a music assembly
today. We never realized what a beautiful
soprano voice OUie Roberts has.
Big tomato fight up at school today.
The usual thing happened tonight. We found

Something new goes off: a heap hig car parade
for the first football game. Mr. Robinson leads

FOR centuries astronomers have
looked into the skies searching
for new worlds, constellations and
stars. Aside from their interesting
research work, they have learned
much that is of practical scientific
value.
Similarly, in the field of student
publications, the Indianapolis Engraving Company searches constantly for new ideas, plans and
methods that will assist year-book
staffs to publish successfully books
characteristic of their school and
community. The results of these
efforts are gratifying.
