CHARLES BRUNER
TWENTY-FIVE 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
IN 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.

LATIN-
LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT
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.

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 TRAINING
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
DOWN 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

The Freshman Class
WHEN 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.

MR. ROBINSON
THIS 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.

ACCORDING 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

DECLAMATION
GIRLS' 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:
Feb. 18—Galesburg' at Kewanee; won by Kewanee.
Feb. 20—Kewanee at Gale'sburg; won by Galesburg'.
Mar. 13—Princeton at Kewanee; won by Kewanee.
Mar. 13—Kewanee at Geneseo; won by Geneseo.
Mar. 27—Kewanee at Rock Island: won by Rock Island.
Mar. 27—Monmouth at Kewanee; won by Monmouth.
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:
Mar. 20—Western Academy at Kewanee; won by Kewanee.
Mar. 20—Kewanee at Western Academy; won by Kewanee.
Apr. 3—Kewanee at Quincy; won by Kewanee.
Apr. 3—Quincy at Kewanee; Avon by Kewanee.
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.

MISS WILDRED EWAN
THE 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
ON 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.

THE 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.

IN 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
PROBABLY 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.

The Silver Kewanite
Bookkeeping Team
THE 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.

THE 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.

THIS 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
THIS 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.

ON 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.

EGYPT'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.

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.

FOR 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.

ON 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.

WHY THE CHIMES RANG", by Alden, was chosen by the Dramatic
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.
Miss Wildred Ewan deserves much credit for her excellent directing, and
Miss Gibson for her help with the staging.

THE 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"
THE "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 coming 1 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 THOMSON 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.

The Second Team
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.

The Silver Kewanite
Football Season
BEYOND 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.

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.

OUR 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.

The Silver Kewanite
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 50-
and 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.

The Silver Kewanite
A
1931 Track
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.

The Silver Kewanite
Tennis and Golf
IN 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. To 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.

IN 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 "To 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.

Girls' Athletics
W
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.
The point system used in Kewanee High School is now accredited by the
National Amateur Athletic Federation as one of the outstanding point systems for
high school girls. Requests for a copy of this system have been received from all
over the country from such widely separated places as Trenton, New Jersey, and
Tacoma, Washington.
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
club relay, for points toward a letter.

Girls' Athletics
[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.

BATTLE OF DAY
IN JR.-SR. SUB
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.

LAD TAMPERS WITH
FIREARMS IN CIVICS
Recently our illustrious senior
class president, Mr. Henry William
Lowe, came very near blowing up
the third floor as well as causing
a riot near the premises of room
301.
It appears that the class was discussing
the Panama canal when
Henry decided to do a little excavating
on his own desk. For several
minutes the child amused himself
by poking his pencil in a hole
which had recently been filled with
putty. The Panama canal was almost
completed when a terrific explosion
occurred.
The members of the class, finding
themselves seated upon the
arms of their chairs, glanced in the
general direction of their instructor.
There before him sat
Hank, trembling in every limb and
white as a ghost. He was sure that
Uncle Bugs or Capone was around!
The cause of the uproar turned out
to be a cap which some youngster
had placed in the hole before he
filled it with putty.
HUGE ROBBERY
LAST EVENING
During the wee, small hours of
the morning some low-down, dastardly
crook had the nerve to steal
Francis Marion Euard's car (excuse
me, I meant Ford) right from
under his bedroom window.
Through the wonderful efforts of
the owner of the vehicle in co-operation
with the Kewanee police
force, the city sedan was discovered
out near the town dump.
The car was entirely dismantled,
except for the one flat tire which
Francis had neglected to change
before retiring. On being asked to
comment upon the robbery, the
owner of the car simply replied: "I
feel sure that the person who
would do such a thing must surely
need the automobile parts, and,
anyway, Shirley likes to ride in
the Buick."

IN FIRST ENCOUNTER
Statement Issued at 12:00

The declaration is as follows:
Due to the unceasing campaign
which the N powers (the neighbors)
have been carrying on,
namely, the upturning of a small
(very small) (possibly even smaller)
barn on the southern extremity
of our territory and the throwing
of snowballs (bombs with
schoolgirl complexions) . . . we declare
WAR for the good of our
states, namely Cecil and Marie, and
for the satisfaction of papa and
mama.
(Signed)
—The Stiff Family.
2:30 o'clock . . . The first major
conflict of the Stiff war (very stiff,
as you soon will see) was carried
to Stiff territory. The N power
cheering squad was so successful in
its attempt to excite itself that it
likewise excited the Cecil troops
and spirited encounter was the
result. Cecil retaliated after a
slight setback on the cheek with a
hard right in the general direction
of the enemy's false teeth. This
maneuver retired the enemy, including
her false teeth. Chalk up
one for General Cecil.
The N power deliberated from
the time of battle until 5 o'clock
and many messages were passed
over the wires and also over the
back fence.
5:00 o'clock . . . With the coming
of valuable reinforcements in
the form of one working man with
size 13 shoes and a 60 collar and
quite a hot head, the N powers'
(neighbors') spirit was greatly
raised. Advancing with the artillery
(those size 13 shoes) he was met
at the front gate (not in the moonlight)
by General Cecil on his centipede
(beg yeh pardon, vox pop, on

the velocipede was violently upturned,
provoking great anger on
General Cecil's part, for his appendage

NEW TYPE OF
MARATHON HERE
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!

ADVANTAGES OF
SCHOOL UNUSUAL
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.

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 w r hen 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
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 w 7 ear
on the campus of the big universities.
"The minute I saw those glasses
I knew r 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 SUC-
CESS. 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!

The Jeering Journal does not
claim that all our newspaper articles
have historical backing. Accidents
will happen, of course, and deed was done!
some dumb reporter might have
told the truth about something, but
we assure you that he will be
severely punished for his negligence.
Any reporter so doing will
be called upon our grass carpet
and soundly whacked with three
blonde switches with all the hairpins
removed.
Any complaints may be mailed
to the Jeering Journal Joint. Anyone
desiring to communicate directly
with the office will please
notify us ahead of time for we
must engage a brass band to welcome
him. The office is equipped
Avith fire extinguishers, parachutes,
life preservers, sprinkler system,
elevators, ladders, machine guns,
sawed-off shotguns, and a long
range field cannon to take care of
the milder complaints. We would
have had tear bombs on hand, too,
but Hank Lowe volunteered to sing
"Sonny Boy" to get the desired
effect.
FACULTY FAILINGS
We are really just beginning to
realize the disastrous results of
the great depression. It seems to
be having its most serious effect
upon our faculty. Matters are not
yet so bad that Miss Louise Ewan
cannot tell her Chev from a Packard.
We will give her a 2 to 1 shot
on that providing her ears are good
and she can see a car at ten paces.
But, dear reader, we must draw the
line suddenly right here; we cannot
praise Miss Ewan's accomplishments
further for here her limitations
become pitifully apparent.
She cannot see red when green is
right above it!!
JEERING JOURNAL
from her recent hobby, botany. She
has been looking at plant life on
many Girl Scout hikes, but, as far
as a guess would go, we would say
that she has been overlooking vegetable
life!
Here is the story: Miss Ewan
planted some flowers in a window
box, which she placed upon Mr.
Robinson's window. For days the
faculty was in suspense while waiting
for the pretty things to show
their faces. The anxiety of the fair
farmer was so great that Mr. Robinson,
our eminent philanthropist
and botanist, realized that something
must be done at once if her
composure was to be restored. He
had radish seeds on his desk when
the idea seized him—and lo! the
There were no
more radish seeds on his desk!
And shortly thereafter, dear reader,
believe it or not, tender shoots began
to appear above the soil and
our "Little Ewan" was in ecstacies
over her "pitty flowers".
We do not know where to go for
a real climax to this story, because,
following the example of our
faculty, w r e do not know enough
about botany. But the question we
leave with you is this: Can a plant
be a flower above ground for a
teacher and a radish underground
for a principal?
AN IDEAL SCHOOL DAY
At 9:45 a. m. we decide it is
about time to arise so as to be at
school when the bell rings at 10:28.
When the clock says 10:15 we hear
a blithe honk out in front of the
house and then take our time about
getting into the school limousine,
which calls for us regularly.
From the time we get to school
until the tardy bell rings, we walk
merrily around the halls and talk
over old times with all our friends.
At the sound of the bell, all juniors
and seniors walk slowly into sub.
Mr. Landuyt has the sole privilege
of making announcements and
starts the morning by saying,
"Now, students, I want you to feel
perfectly at home and to enjoy
yourselves at all times. Don't fail
to make known your desires because
the faculty will do everything
they can for you. And if any
of you get homesick or feel depressed
in any way just come to
me and I'll be very glad to help
you out. Now, of course you senior
girls mustn't take advantage of
Of course, here and there are this privilege." (This last was only
exceptions to that rule. She cansaid in joking, of course.)

half hour of good dancing (I should
say, dancing to a good orchestra)
we all feel right peppy and go to
our first period class, which lasts
for fifteen minutes, as do all other
classes.
Tests and recitations of any kind
are prohibited by law. (Therefore,
Mr. Kaiser has to give a five-minute
reading in senior English
classes every day.) Classes are all
very interesting because the teachers
do all the talking and are required
to illustrate all subjects discussed.
Poor Mr. Stevens had to propose
to his wife all over again when the
chemistry class discussed diamonds
the other day, and as Virgil's
"Dido," Miss Harrod was very
clever at making love to Everett
Pyle in Latin class recently.
At 12 o'clock we are dismissed
and return at 1:30 to resume our
hard studying. After our three
afternoon classes, we congregate in
sub again where Miss Trask serves
afternoon tea, which usually has
three courses. Following this we
all enjoy a good smoke (except
Fish Price, who becomes ill when
he looks at a cigarette), and then
take one of the school's Packards
for the rest of the afternoon and
evening. Gas is free at any time
to all students except Dan Goode,
who has run out of gas a little too
frequently in the past. It's all right,
though, because Betty just adores
to walk these lovely days.
Did you know that out of every
100,000 snakes there is at least one
snake in the grass? Yeh! We took
it for granted, too.
Miss Harrod is said tOi have told
her Virgil class that the only way
to learn about the underworld of
the ancient Romans is to go there.
And then she agreed that most of
them would learn that lesson!

MR. STRONKS
Mr. Stronks attended high school
at Alton, Iowa. He is married. Before
he got married he got a
license. Before that he asked Mrs.
Stronks. Before that he met Mrs.
Stronks. That is the idea in a
chicken's tooth.
He is 6 feet tall (he has only
2 feet of actual feet), weighs 150
pounds, and was in good health
until this year's freshman class
entered high school. We are of the
opinion that he has probably lost
some weight, too. When he saw
the freshmen the first day of
school, he said to Mrs. Stronks:
"Do not worry about my Christmas
present this year, dear. Just give
me 365 aspirin tablets."
MISS STEWART
We do not know how tall Miss
Stewart is, but we have an idea
she is about that tall. Nothing definite,
of course. We recommend
her as a good bridge player, for
she has never been known to trump
her partner's ace. Oh, my dear
Watson, it is merely a case of elementary
deduction, and here it is.
I play bridge. Miss Stewart plays
bridge. I trump my partner's ace.
Miss Stewart does not trump her
partner's ace. When I play against
Miss Stewart, she beats me. Therefore
she is my superior (when it
comes to bridge).
POP.
Amen, "VOX
MISS MILLER
Miss Lila Miller was born in
Monmouth, Illinois, at quite an
early age. She attended high school
in Abingdon, Illinois, and in Hollywood,
California. Students, get
your lessons; she is an expert shot
with the rifle! And again we warn
you—do not try to argue with her,
for she debated for two years in
college. She says she would be
willing to talk two more years if
she could win an argument with
Mr. Robinson on the subject: "How
to eat taffy without undue embarrassment
when you have false
teeth." " 'Tis merely a matter of
sticking to the principal" (so he
says).
MR. EDWIN W. LANTZ
Mr. Lantz attended the Keokuk
High School of Keokuk, Iowa. He
is old enough, 5 feet 10 inches in
height, and weighed 145 pounds in
1928. He is an American and in
spite of this is in good health. Mrs.
Lantz is his wife. Mr. Lantz has
not grown any in height in the
last three years, although he has
expanded in breadth. Among the
more recent accomplishments of
Mr. Lantz is the fact that he has
learned to play the piano well since
last summer. He is now contemplating
taking Mr. Robinson's place
as accompanist for the music assemblies.
However, Mr. Robinson
is contesting this move for, says
he, "I may not be able to play the
VULGAR BOATMAN, but I sure
can play volley ball".
MISS KNAPP
We have just received a bulletin
from the Associated Press
which hints in a round-about way
that Miss Knapp is in some way
connected with Iowa (the state
where tall corn grows whenever a
booster has time to talk about it).
Now Miss Knapp may be guilty of
this terrible accusation, or she
might even live in that terrible
state, but we will give her the benefit
of the doubt right now. By law
the usual penalty is picking corn,
and to make the penalty much
harder the subject is usually Blue
Jay corn. We hope Miss Knapp
will not be forced to do this by the
authorities. It necessitates a terrible
mental strain since the corn
must be picked by focusing the
eye on the kernel and detaching it
by sheer mental power.
We have never heard her even
so much as mention Iowa, so to
avoid any embarrassed or ashamed
feeling, please do not mention this
article within 100 paces of Miss
Knapp. Anyone so doing will be
positively overlooked when the
school gives out the Kewanite hush
money. The faculty has established
a hush money fund which
really is a scholarship offered to
anyone who has never said anything
mean about the faculty. No
person has received this honor yet.
ALVIN RICHARD KAISER
Mr. Alvin Kaiser can teach German
or English and can walk backward.
He was born in Preston, Nebraska,
on March 10. Figure out
his age for yourself. Thank you.
We knew you would! He went to
Goldendale High School, Goldendale,
Washington. He has an
Adam's apple but has never sung
in grand opera. His favorite pastime
is trying to knock yours truly
bald-headed with his fast ones
when I play tennis with him at
the net. He is so cruel when he
spies someone at the net. Brrrr-r.
He weighs 170 pounds, is 5 feet 10
inches tall, is not married yet, and
does not chew in the class rooms.
MISS HILDA M. GARMS
Miss Garms is more than If*
years old and less than 100, and
weighs no less than she should.
She went to Champaign High
School at Champaign, Illinois, and
has never been known to fall
downstairs on her honor, so she
says. The editor has never fallen
downstairs on his honor, either,
but he hit on his head at three
different times and places. She
j does not speak Latin fluently but
she is wiser than yours truly because
she admits it. It took me
three years to be forcefully convinced
that I could not even say
my prayers in Latin. God could
not understand me.
MISS EUTROPHIA CURRY
Miss Curry is just about as old
as she should be, considering her
age. She is 5 feet 7% inches tall
and w r eighs herself on a scale with
no springs, that tells your fortune.
She went to high school at Mount
Sterling, Illinois. She finished
grade school and then went to high
school. That is how she happened
to go to high school. She finished
high school and then went to college.
That is how she happened to
go to college. 'Tis said she had
high grades in school. "That ain't
nuten," sez zee, "fer ma gets high
grades whan we'ns play golf."
Yes! Yes! Indeed. WE (oui).
It is rumored that Jane Moore
is richer by five bucks, at the expense
of an unsuspecting alumnus
who bet that she would be higher
than fifth from the bottom of the
senior class when the averages
came out. If he had only known
our little Jane he would never
have made that fatal bet.

EVENTS IN SOCIETY
SAUNDERS-DINES
CEREMONY TODAY
The marriage of Miss Mary Jane
Saunders to William Ralph Dines
was solemnized this morning at
7:30 o'clock, Mountain time, at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Mark Ashton Saunders,
440 South Vine street, City of Kewanee,
County of Henry, State of
Illinois, United States of America.
This promising young couple was
united in the holy bands of matrimony
in a delightful no-ring ceremony,
the Rev. Father Owen Houston
presiding. The house was attractively
decorated with milk-weed
and geraniums in keeping with the
season. The piano bench, banked
Avith ragweed and blue grass, comprised
their clever and original improvised
altar. Only the relatives
of the immediate family were present,
the only attendants being the
K. H. S. 1930 football team. Just
preceding the ceremony a solo,
"Rescue the Perishing", was sung
by Mr. Joseph Thomson, accompanied
by Warren Rouse. Immediately
following this selection, Mr.
Barney Peter Yanuskus gave a
short talk on "The Good Old Football
Days". Among other things,
he told of how the training rules
were kept "way back when". He
gave adequate proof that smoking
was new to him when he was
forced to bring his talk to a close,
having choked on the ninth cigarette.
Mr. Yanuskus was later compelled
to leave when he became ill
on his second cup of milk at the
wedding breakfast. The football
men, remembering the unusual
feed of 1930, gave a rousing cheer
in behalf of the young bride just
before the ceremony.
At the first strains of "Around
the Corner", the blushing bride galloped
joyfully down the stairs. She
was charming in daring black gym
bloomers and a white middie. Her
two charming little flower boys,
Chalmer Price and Harold Strom,
danced before her, each carrying a
lily. At the tune of "Lead Kindly
Light", the groom, Mr. Dines, appeared.
He was preceded by the
dashing young Wendell Philip
Swain, who carried the minister's
fee of fifty cents on a pin cushion.
The bride and bridegroom met at
the altar where they were united in
sacred wedlock. In all, the flashlight
ceremony was very impressive.
Immediately following the nuptials
a light breakfast was served

NEW FRATERNITY
HAS INITIATION
A member of the Jeering Journal
staff was privileged to be present
at one of the most unusual and impressive
ceremonies ever to be held
in this vicinity when he attended
recently the grand installation and
initiation of the new fraternity just
organized at the Kewanee High
School, namely, the Royal Order
of Asses. Since the service and
ritual have been declared secret, he
has no right to divulge them, but
he has succeeded in obtaining permission
to publish their constitution,
which is as follows:
"Grand Chapter of Physics Lodge
No. 304.
"We, the Kewanee High School
Physics class, with the exception of
one lowly junior in our midst, do
hereby create and establish an organization
which shall henceforth
and forever and even after that be
known as the Royal Order of Asses,
on this the 26th day of February,
B. G. (before graduation), 1931,
having been christened the same
by the Grand Exhaulted (or Exhausted)
Eugene Stevens, B. A.
(Bachelor of Asses).
"Hereafter we do work and meet
every eighth day of the week all
during the year, starting with the
32nd day of January and continuing
to the 96th of December (Ilr2).
Our flower will be Pillsbury's. Our
incense will be (H,S) hydrogen sulfide.
Our emblem will be the
horse's cousin's hind quarters.
"To which we do set our sign
and seal. A. M. (Another Mess)."
(A picture of the charter members
will be found in the rotogravure
section.)

YOUNG BLOODS
HAVE MEETING
The Aveekly meeting of the A. J.
C.'s was held this noon. A delicious
lunch of toothpicks and salt Avas
enjoyed by all those present. The
meeting Avas called to order by the
president, Warren Rouse. Jane
Moore, acting as treasurer, took up
the dues, Avhich are used to further
the campaign against mosquitoes in
the Sahara desert. Chalmer Price
preferred sending the money up to
Alaska to help keep the Eskimos
warm, but his motion was overruled.
The debate question, "Whether
or Not Warren Rouse Should Marry
Addie Baethke," was discussed
freely and fully, and the supreme
ruler, Jane Moore, decided that he
should marry her and let Adelaide
go on with her career as caretaker
at the Home for Deaf Dogs.
Anyone wishing to attend these
uplifting meetings is requested to
find the meeting place—it's somewhere
Avithin the limits of Henry
county.
RIVALRY CROWS
AMONG CLUBS
The J. B. C.'s. an organization
that has long served to further its
noble purposes in the portals of
K. H. S. (supply the purpose if you
can; the reporter Avas unable to
understand it as the president dictated
it to him in pig-Latin—and
any kind of Latin is a danger signal
to him). Any Avay, this organization
is fully convonced that it
was the first of its kind on the
campus, and that the A. J. C.'s
modelled their club after it, although
the latter group admits no
such thing. However, it is fine for
good clean competition, as each
club is continually inveigling the
other into stimulating contests, the
most recent one being that of seeing
which member, Warren Rouse

Up at the track meet at Ottawa

At least one of the fellows

A Lovers Life
By Everett (Hotstory) Pyle
(Editor's note: The Jeering- Journal
does not necessarily approve or condemn
any of Mr. Pyle's features, but
merely uses his work as an example
of the lowest type of journalism.)
Somewhere in Old Wyoming,
April 13.
Well, folks, here I am again, and
just as good on the hot news as
ever. Yes, sir, I can sure get the
news and I sure can write it about
as good as any one in the country.
You know, when I was an innocent
youth on the farm out in
Henry county I went to school. Oh,
yes, 1 was the man of the class.
And talk of this thing called "it"!
Boy, I knocked 'em cold with it!
Well, that is how I got my start.
After four years of the school, one
day Mr. Robinson (he was my principal,
and a pretty good one), classified
me as the smartest boy in the
class and told me to go out into the
world. He said that I knew so
much that books would only cramp
my style, so I left home with a
tear in my eye, a lump in my
throat, and a bottle in the rear
pocket.
I am writing the story of my life.
There have been so many requests
that I thought I really had to. You
know, my public must be satisfied.
There is one little thought that I
always keep in mind: I MUST
KEEP MY PUBLIC HAPPY. And
in this story of my life I am telling
of all my thrilling experiences.
And some of them are going to
furnish me with plots for stories
that I will send to the True Story
magazine. There is no use keeping
everything to myself; that's the
way I figure.
When this book comes out, (and
it will have a red cover, and in big
letters across the top it will have
"The Life of a Lover," by Everett
Pyle), you all want to buy it and
get the thrill of your lives. Is it
ever good? Just ask me!
I'll give you a few examples of
my swell story, and all of this is
the straight stuff, because you
know that I would not disappoint
my public.
On page 45 this appears: "And
after this orgy in locker 202 Margaret
Ann Curtis and I staggered
down to Miss Harrod's room. Well,
as usual I didn't know my lesson
because I couldn't be bothered
studying and my hands went all
clammy when the petite little Dorothy
said, 'Now, Everett, it is your
turn to recite.' Well, folks, is there
any justice, I ask you? The first
line was a sticker and I looked at
it and, after asking what all of the
ornery words meant, I began: 'and
I threw my arms around her three
times,' but that is all the farther I
got."
Thus ends the tale of a "Lover's
Life," written in ink for Everett
Pyle, by the man at the bar room
door.
(Another article by Mr. Pyle will appear
in an early number, entitled.
"The Wheat Crop in Spain and Jerusalem,"
with a preface by James
"Three Guesses What I Am" Chapman.)
And then there is this man Ralph
Jones, the freshman, who threatened
to take one of Fish Price's
shoes and make himself a pair
from it.

" Hero of the Plains "
By I ma Nutt
There once was a guy who was
noted all over the far west for being
one great big he-man, and
everyone, even as far west as Davenport,
was scared to death of him.
Now this guy called himself Carl
Fischer because he was such a big,
handsome brute, and he was in love
with a dame who bore the cognomen
of Winnie Waddle.
One morning Carl leaped out of
bed at the first blast of the 5:00
o'clock whistle and said to himself:
"Carl, old boy, you need a little
exercise. 1 don't care for the surplus
pack which you seem to be
acquiring about your center of
gravity."
Then a brilliant thought came to
him and he jumped out of the window,
ran to the barn, and mounted
his faithful 20-year-old mule, Firefly.
So says Carl:
"Trot onward, dear old Firefly,
and carry me hither and yon. I
want to go to the far west where
men are men and hot women are
plentiful." After thirty-nine gentle
kicks in the ribs, Firefly sped in a
true westerly direction. When
they (meaning Carl and Firefly)
arrived at the mid-section of the
Neponset Desert, who should they
see helping our heroine, Winnie
Waddle, to a drink at the drinking
fountain but the bold, bad villain,
Billie Boswell. A desperate struggle
ensued. After four swift haymakers
to the right and a few bullet
wounds in the mid-section, Firefly
lay prostrate in one of the
sand piles. Much wailing and
gnashing of teeth followed. At last
Billie said:
"Let us be friends onct and for
all."
"Let us," said Carl, as he laid
Winnie neatly beside the dead mule
and walked off nonchalantly with
our friend Billy.

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.
JEERING JOURNAL 11
Dear Pat—
I am writing to you as I feel
that I am in a serious predicament.
You see, there are a great
many girls in school who are
rather fond of me. I have a girl
from every section of town and
from practically every class. The
sophomore girls and a senior girl
are my greatest worries. You see,
every time I go to see one of them
the rest get angry. My father
thinks that my studies are poor
enough without paying attention to
the girls. I have an inkling that
my senior, Martha, is a gold digger,
besides. Please advise.
Yours truly,
—Baird White.
B. W.—
If I were to advise I would tell
you to consider the freshman and
junior classes. Perhaps those girls
would not fall so easily. Then, too,
you might take your father's advice
and drop your studies all together,
as he thinks the two do not mix.
—Petting Patty.
Dear Patty—
My boy friend and I are madly
in love. In fact, we have been for
a year, but here's where the rub
comes. We took my little sister to
see a magician one evening and
she goes up on the stage and not
only tells the family history, but
expresses her desire for a baby
sister. Now here is my problem:
How can two shy young people
keep from blushing at a time like
this, also why did Fie seem
shocked and a little perplexed at
the time?
Lovingly,
—Shirley Hill.
Dear Shirley—
I think this is a case for the kindergarten.
However, I would advise
a heart-to-heart talk with Fie.
—Petting Patty.
EIGHTH WONDER OF
WORLD AT K. H. S.
Robert Fredrick Chambers, commonly
known as "Moppie," has recently
broken the record of holding
a clinch for fifteen minutes. The
former distinction was held by Mr.
Tino Goode, who felt the need of
making up for his big handsome
brother. It is the biggest surprise
of our lives and we have reason to
be alarmed—Moppie Chambers is
in love! We never thought it of
you, Moppie! To think that Maxine
has power to weaken you to
such an extent! We don't know
what the record is now but would
not advise anyone to attempt even
fifteen minutes. After all, strangling
would be a rather cruel death
and is quite unnecessary.
The following facts were given
to the editor of the Jeering Journal
in strict confidence, but we know
you won't tell anyone, so—here
goes! For seventeen long years,
Robert Chambers has had two
firmly established principles in life
—(1) To argue and argue until the
other fellow gives in, and (2)
never to let a woman have the last
word. Imagine! And then the other
evening Moppie had to break down
and let, Maxine Lamb have the last
word! I guess after she called him
"dear" he was too startled to get
in any kind of a word. Congratulations,
Maxine, and more power to
you! If you ever make Moppie admit
he is wrong in an argument,
just drop us a card and we'll have
a party so the West-end may renew
their discussion of "Fire
Walkers in Africa". Tf Moppie declares
defeat, we will be positive
that it is wonderful to be in love
and hunt up a female for our
staunch debater, Wilbur Lester.

GREAT ERROR
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!"

did not subdue his voice, thus causing
Mrs. Palmer to blush furiously.
The last witness was Miss Virginia

Clubbe Norris. Miss Norris testified
that she was compelled to ask
Mr. Palmer to depart when he became
too loud and boisterous last

Mrs. Palmer is planning to marry

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

YOUNG BLOOD TO
ENTER BIG RACE
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-

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.
—o—
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

we discovered it was nothing else but the
old Graham-Paige of Coach's. It was rather
mean to wash the names off so soon.

They were all good, but the "Drums of Oude"

Galesburg beat us tonight. I guess the shock
of the pep meeting tonight after school was
too great for the fellows. Or maybe it was the
jinx of Friday the 13th.

Several of us didn't have to worry because
someone had removed ours long ago.

We played Canton at Canton tonight and
they beat us 18 to 16, but we sure outplayed
them all the way through. There was a large
attendance from Kewanee there. Jimmy Larson
and the fellows in his car were almost forced to
stay all night when "Desert Sands" went back
on them.

Won the tournament, even though one of our

operated on for appendicitis at 6130, just preceding

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.

Bobbie Alexander, so we can't use Webster's

skipped school Friday afternoon instead of
