29 Junior Epic To sing- heroic deeds I tune my lyre, To nerve the Freshman and the Soph's inspire. I sing- of one brave body of mere mortals, Who after stepping- once within the portals Of the glorious K. H. S., have made a name, One which none other equals in its fame. Moreover this great name they well deserve For never did they from the straight path swerve, In all things have they shown themselves right glorious, In battles they have ever been victorious, And while opponents have their fate bewailed, We 14's have been as heroes hailed! I've started out in true Homeric fashion, And imitating Pope with me's a passion. Yet after all I sing no Greek with mystery. I am merely writing Junior history. And now we're down to earth we'll intermingle, Among the high brow lingo some real jingle. Altho' I must confess it is a crime To call the stuff you're reading, fair one, rhyme. We entered high school just about as green As any bunch of Freshmen ever seen, There're plenty whose perception is much keener, We'll testify we were a little greener. But we most speedily our new role learned, Indeed, all things about us soon discerned And so, quite soon, so very much we knew No longer could "oiks spot us by our hue. That Freshman year was one of great renown, Our deeds were noised loud about the town. There's no need telling what you've surely heard, That year's achievement needs no further word. So I pass quickly on and memories shun, Of that time ere we sat in eight and one. And modesty (?) demands that I refrain From stating just what was the High School's gain 30 3t By having our good class among its four. f We cite you to Marjorie. For one brief year, best peace! I say no more. Or perhaps a debater you seek. Our Sophomore year to do great deeds we yearned, Max and Sandford excel, We did the deeds and praise and honor earned. They've made the Seniors meek. We studied some and played a whole lot more. For twice they defeated them well. We made home runs and touchdowns neat galore, Now some folks enjoy a reading, The foe when seeing our men on the field Adele and Gladys are splendid. Deplored their lot, well knowing they must yield. If real entertainment you're needing, And now heroic couplet's getting old, They present the best thing ere attended. So I will change the metre (?) just a trifle. Suppose you're inclined to be gay, As plodding, slow monotony I'm told We've numerous belles of society. Will anyone's poetic (?) instinct stifle. "Are the girls good looking?" you say, At any rate we've reached our Junior year, Of beauties we have a variety. When things inevitably go much faster. Oh, yes, in Rurick we find I meet some friend upon the street, some dear! An eminent writer of prose ; But with a quick, curt nod I hurry past her. Knowledge of any old kind, For Juniors are so busy, why indeed Prince, our book-worm knows. They have no time to waste in social chatter. The orchestra never could play They loose the brakes and put on top-notch speed Without Helen and Leslie and Ruth. And hasten, hurry, hustle, all with clatter! They're the best in the crowd, any day. What is there to show for our fussing and flurry? Tip top musicians, in truth. What can we do, do you ask? For folks who are witty and quick. What have we gained in our swift, head-long hurry? People who 're generally able. Snatch rrom your eyes the dark mask! There's Dean and Lois and Chick, Freshies, has everything been so mystic? Ryan and Heise and Mer cable. Have the Sophs been too slow to care? I haven't the time to tell Have the wise old Seniors been so egotistic Of Myers, our electrical shark, They don't know the Juniors are here? But, indeed, we wish him well, We've enlivened Delphi, the Tiger made new, Knowing he'll make his mark. We've created good spirit, real pep, And there are numerous others, We've done all those things which a great class can do, Whom I cannot here mention, We've reached our ideal step by step. Kind sisters, loving brothers, If you're looking for anything good, come to us, Who'd surely attract your attention. For we will supply every need. Tho' we've already done great things, We find what you want without making a fuss, We promise you more next year. Oh! A very fine class, indeed! But at this moment, the whole world sings, If it's students you wish, there's Nellie and Fred, Look! Listen! The Juniors are here. Whose cards are always marked "E." L. J. C, '14. You're fond of music, piano you said? 32

SOPH. HISTORY URRAH for one of the best classes ever registered H in the Kewanee High School. This fact seemed appreciated the very first day we entered in 1911, for the venerable auditorium ceiling which had heretofore pro- tected all students with such dignity, after looking us over, deemed himself unfit for further duty and resigned his position that night. But since this is such a great class, it is evident that the task of chronicling its exploits and activities will be a correspondingly great one. All the sweet things left unsaid about it can be taken for granted. Having made ourselves at home, football first took our attention. Coach Hamilton always has had a warm spot in his heart for Freshmen and when we sallied forth to watch that famous 1911 team go marching from vic- tory to victory, we were proud to say that at least four of our classmates were on the team. In the meantime we were daily dosed with a com- pound guaranteed to cure greenness as well as to keep the hair from falling out. Analized, its ingredients are readily recognized as Algebra, English, Latin, stone- painting and so on. By this time we had also held a class meeting. Officers having been elected, colors and motto chosen, the full importance of our position in High School life settled upon us. Basket ball was next in line. In this, however, we did nothing dazzling, other than to keep our eyes and ears open and learn a few tricks with which to startle the natives next year. In track we showed up strongly, es- pecially in the class meets. All the world knew our colors were maroon and white when declaimed by the "stone," the sidewalks, and telephone poles. The sidewalks, however, were not sup- posed to declaim, as five sad boys on their knees with a pail and scrub brush found out afterward. (Continued on Class Debate Page No. 48) 34 35 FRESHMEN HISTORY ELL, here we are eighty-four strong, the Fresh- W men class of 1916, all ready for work that lies before us. The Seniors call us "Freshies" and "Greenies" but these names do not affect us as we have the consola- tion of knowing others have had to come through the same trials and tribulations. As was the experience of others before us, the first day of school was worst of all. The Juniors and Seniors and Sophomores knew that the Bulletin Board was the Bureau of Information in regard to classes and rooms ; but we, bashful Freshmen, stood in a corner until some sympathetic friend told us where to go. Of course we wandered around and got into wrong rooms, and had to back out blushing amid the laughs and jeers of our upper classmates. We have had several class meetings which I must confess were not conducted according to Robert's "Rules of Order." The following officers have been chosen to superintend the affairs of our class for this year: President, Stanley Anderson; Vice President, Hazel Eberle; Secretary, Charles Philbrook; Treasurer, Helen Bennison. Miss Kennedy has been elected as class ad- visor. Our colors are red and black, the boy's favorites. But in spite of our worthy officers our path has not been strewn with flowers for we have been molested on every hand ; the peace of our parties has been disturbed by the dignified Seniors ; our members have been most shame- fully hazed and accused of many things of which we never heard. We had our first class party February twelfth in the Social room of the High School. The valentine idea was carried out in the decorations. The girls came dressed in their best gowns and the boys wore new suits and squeaky shoes. We were all so bashful at first the boys (Continued on page 94) 36 37 Literary vanced in age.

Under Miss Miller's direction our Orchestra has de- lighted the students on programs of our morning exer- cises ;. it has played at outside programs, proving an es- pecial favorite at the Farmers' Institute; and the County Association was favored by some of our orchestra play- ers. The programs of Commencement Week will include other orchestral numbers which promise to please our largest audiences.

The annual Junior-Senior reception was held in the social room of the Kewanee High School, Friday evening, April 25. The re- ception committee, composed of the officers of the class of 1913, met their guests at the door. The Japanese effect was carried out in the decorations most effectively, not a single detail being omitted. The odor of burning punk added much to the oriental idea. Cherry blossoms were used in abundance as well as mats, rugs and cush- ions. The little pergola in the center of the room, decorated with wisteria, was very charming. The decorations compare most fav- orably with any seen at any of the receptions in past years.

The program was excellent, being opened by a few words of welcome given by Frederic Gamble, president of the class of 1914- Phillip Carroll, president of the class of 1913, responded with a clever poem, in the form of a toast to the host. Miss Trask gave a difficult instrumental selection which was much appreciated. Miss Poole appeared next on the program, her vocal selection winning much favor. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Ferris of Gales- burg. His talk was excellent and was enjoyed by everyone present. It was very instructive as well as entertaining. The Juniors may feel complimented upon being able to secure such a delightful speaker. The program was concluded by a violin solo by Miss Irene Baethke. This was so well received that she favored the audi- ence with another equally pleasing selection later in the evening.

Frappe was served during the evening, and later refreshments consisting of fruit ice cream, assorted wafers and candies were served.

The Juniors may feel well repaid for their efforts. 79 80 athletics at all or athletic director, no gymnasium, no real Twenty Years Out High School spirit or rivalry with other towns except in some occasional oratorical contest; no domestic science, Two decades since the class of '93 passed out from manual or commercial training, no High School Annual the High School walls seem, to the present writer, to or High School "Tiger;" no social activities, save some have witnessed as far a departure afield as any similar class trip to Galva, no Senior party or class week except length of time in the history of our public schools here.

The cause of all our grief and woe ; It will not be short, nor will it be long. And yet you wonder why each one It's a tale of a subject of much renown, Of those gay Seniors looks so glum. A tale of that most famous cap and gown. Well, to explain each sober face, They've used them in other schools, so they tell I'll try to state the facts of the case. And the students have liked them wondrous well, The "Board" has made a strict new rule, So our class of '13 tho't they would try That every class which leaves this school, Those caps and gowns in a shade of grey dye. Instead of looking trim and neat, 'Twould save money they knew, our Seniors were thrifty With faces most serene and sweet. And the garb would be swell, also nobby and nifty, Must for a time parade around. It showed the true spirit, the whole plan was great Each one bedecked in hat and gown. But trouble arose which I grieve to relate. They never even gained consent First a bevy of girls started voices to humming. For us those hideous gowns to rent. By questioning, "Say, do you think them becoming?" Then how indignant we became Then shortly after these girls began fussing (And still contend it is a shame.) Some boys chimed in, there was added (dis)cussing. They took our measurements one by one. The girls then sneered and whimpered and gabbed. And now those horrid things have come. And the boys knocked and kicked and crabbed, And we've entreated, we've implored, Affairs reached a crisis, folks wouldn't be quiet, Trying our best to persuade that "Board." A Senior class meeting was ended in a riot, Yet all our pleading's are in vain. Grave dissensions arose and indeed they do say And that new rule is just the same. The quarrel was not settled for many a day. So there we'll sit on Commencement night. But at last some brave citizens ended the fight All togged up. just looking a fright.

The night is the time for dreams—the day the time for action. So, in the day time get down to real business. Do each days work, no matter what it may be, as best you can and strive always to do it better. For the man or woman who so does is bound to be a SUCCESS.

CLASS SONG. Hail 1914 I Thy name we love - Ever thy praise we'll loudly sing, The blue and the white our colors above, Will always a victory bring Of glorious honors we now can boast, For talent is in our noble band; Now to old "14" we give a toast, Which will ring throughout the land. Chorus. Here's health to the class of 1914 - Here's praise to her honors rare - The medals she's won in track and debate Are symbols of virtues fair - Long may she keep her lofty ideals And profit by them as years! go by; Ever will 1914 remember Dear old Kewanee,High. '2. Dear K. H. S. we bid thee farewell, We leave thy halls reluctantly, You have been faithful, we I^ve been loyal, We'll ever love and honor thee, 'Though into Life's broad fields we are sent, We'll have memories of happy days serene; Farewell dear high school, faculty, students Do not forget "14" ! Chorus Here's health to the class of 1914 - Here's praise to her honors' rare - The medals she's won in track and debate Are symbols of virtues fair 7 Long may she keep her lofty ideals And profit by them as years SO by; Ever will 1914 Remember Dear old Kewanee High.
