The Last Will and Testament of the Annual Board

THE EE-NAW-EK Board of the city of Kewanee, county of Henry I and state of Illinois, being of sound mind (considering the strain of publishing an annual) and rejoicing with a clear conscience at escaping from the Board, do therefore make, ordain, and publish this my last will and testament. First: 1 order and direct my executor to pay all just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my demise as may be convenient. Second.: After the payment of my debts and funeral expenses, I give to the Annual Board of 1910 the sure and certain knowledge that of all the evils under the sun, to be an Annual Board is the greatest. I also bequeath, to be divided equally among the members of the 1910 Board, a choice assortment of compressed evil wishes of a few disappointed people, the support of some of the faculty, some soul-stirring poetry and hair-splitting jokes, a great many bids from sundry publishing companies, a few Minutes of Meetings, the golden opportunities of Committee Meetings, the splendid opportunity for using one's brains, the difficulties encountered in obtaining jokes, stories, drawings, etc., and in getting money, several volumes on "How Not to Do It," many pleasant memories and abundant good wishes of many who gave aid in any way. Lastly: I make, and appoint the editor-in-chief of the 1910 Annual to be my executor of this my last will and testament; hereby revoking all former wills made by me. In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal this ninth day of April, A. D. 1909. '09 ANNUAL BOARD.

Senior Class History AS the days of our Senior year draw to a close, our thoughts naturally A turn to the time when we first entered the Kewanee High School. We were then Freshmen, as green as the average, but endowed with a firm determination to apply ourselves and outgrow our verdancy. We spent the year getting settled in the new building, familiarizing ourselves with school routine, and endeavoring to act natural. What a relief it was when we found ourselves in the Sophomore class ! We then settled down to real school work, and as a result experienced the indescribable feeling that we were climbing. We also felt the whirl of society for the first time, as a class, and held several parties during the year. It is hard for a Senior to acknowledge that a great deal was accomplished by his class in the Junior year, that is, in comparison with the work done as Seniors. The class of '09 was, however, represented in all lines of school life in that year. We began the term with the feeling that we were, for the first time, a well organized body. Class spirit was predominant, and we rushed things through with a will. We were leaders in sociability, and scarcely a month passed without a party of some kind. The Junior-Senior reception of that year was one of the most elaborate social functions ever held in the school. The idea of holding the High School Carnival, in the year '08, originated in the brain of an enterprising Junior, and was enthusiastically pushed through to a grand financial and social success by a bunch of Junior boys. But the most attention should be given to the Senior year. With the good foundation laid in the first three years, it was easy for us to make good the last and best year. In athletics we can boast of being well represented in both basketball and football, and it is expected that long before this history is published, a goodly number of our men will be upon the track, training for the spring events. In oratorical and literary lines we have established a precedent that would be well for our successors to pattern after. We have several orators of whom any class might well be proud. Then too, the establishment of a History Club and Reciters League this year, shows the right spirit, and speaks well for the industry of the class in this direction. But while we have been making a name for ourselves on the athletic and intel- lectual "wires," we have not been lacking in sociability. As Seniors we have kept up the reputation established in the Junior year, as far as our time would permit. Dur- ing the first semester, two class parties were held; one October 13th. and the other Halloween. We will pass lightly over the first event, owing to the fact that the fair sex failed to materialize, on account of some (dis) -agreement. A compromise was (Continued on page 2g.)

The Halloween party, however, was a "howling" success from beginning to end. Another affair in this years social calendar, was the Senior stag banquet, February 24th. But the most important events in a Senior's life occur after the publication of the annual. We would like to phophesy concerning the coming events, such as the class play, which is even now being rehearsed, and also the graduation exercises (in which we are to wear caps and gowns), but that would be fiction, not history. In a short time the class of '09 will be a thing of the past, and its members will be testing the value of what they learned during the four years of High School life.

(29) 1909 EE-NAW-EK 1910 Class History N writing this class history, I am hindered by a very unusual combina- I tion of affairs ; by a fear that perhaps an account of our class will dis- courage other classes when they read of our wonderful prowess, and also by a certain degree of modesty, (one of the characteristic virtues of a Junior!!?), in telling of our brilliant successes. I am afraid indeed that I shall inject a note of despair into the hearts of the lower classmen, in relating our unusual history; but let them remember that we are a phenomenal class and let us hope this brief chronicle will serve more as an inspiration than as a discouragement. The class of 1910 certainly is an unusual one. When we entered High School in 1906. we attracted attention not by verdency of appearance, as ordinary freshies do, but by our fine bearing, and studious faces. We have since entirely kept up the good impression which we made upon the other students at that time. In the first place, our girls have always taken an important part in school activities. In the Freshman year twelve out of the twenty girls of the girls' basketball squad were members of our class, while this last year has seen 1910 girls more prominent in High School affairs than those of any other class. Our boys also shine in athletics, being particularly "incandescent," (if we may use the term here), in basketball. Four members of the team are Juniors, starring in every game. During all our High School course we have astounded our instructors with our precocious knowledge, and this year we have set an especially high standard for future Junior classes to follow. In Latin we daily Maul Cicero into unrecognizable fragments, reading his inimitable utterances like-er-well, like Sanskrit. But Latin gets quite "prosey" sometimes, in fact, prose is the thorn in the Latin rose. (Isn't that a good metaphor, Miss Brown?) Our horror of composition knows no bounds; indeed, it may well know none, for Miss Maul once received a reprimand from the S. P. C. A. for assign- ing us such hard prose sentences. We are so bright in Advanced Algebra that it was found necessary to get a new text this year in order to keep pace with the intelligence of the scholars. Although in Physics as in every other study, we display our unusual but natural brightness, our strong forte is in breaking Density Bottles, which we accomplish with great despatch and celerity. (Various applications of that, though, are there not, Mr. Watson?) We advance very rapidly in German, we speak the language like our own tongue, and more than that, we even speak it with our own tongue(s) !! We are a regular cyclone in Mediaeval History ; page after page of the thick green book has been eagerly devoured by our eyes and absorbed by our brains so thoroughly that we have gained a wonderfully comprehensive knowledge of the subject, which will never ( ?) leave us.

The History of the Class of 1911 A year ago last September a record breaking class of Freshmen entered the High School, each member aspiring for a diploma at the end of the four years work. There were over one hundred and fifty of us and we were by no means as dull and stupid as the average Freshman class. We elected Ruth Sharp, Hadyn Swain, Helen Clears and Gilbert "right to guide us safely through that 'Slough of Despond,' " the Freshman year. But in spite of these worthy officers our path was by no means strewn with roses, for we were harassed on every hand; our parties were molested; our members most shamefully hazed, and worst of all we were accused of scattering waste paper in the halls. It is needless to say that we suffered all these indignities at the hands of the Sen- iors upon whom we had hitherto looked as models of deportment. But even after we found out their base characters we did not demean ourselves by taking revenge but endured the wrongs silently, and did not even exult at their downfall. So the first year finally ended and after the long vacation we came back to school as Sophomores to take up new and more difficult studies under the supervision of new teachers. We found that we were much more respected than we had been as Freshmen. Many of the class had fallen by the wayside and the membership was reduced to about ninety. The present officers are, Harold -Dyer, Vesta Lamb, and Alvah Brown. The one thing which has marred the happiness of the Sophomore year was the death of our beloved classmate, Velma Anderson, which occurred January 29. 1909. So far this year we have had two very enjoyable parties and we find that the longer we attend High School the better we like the teachers and the work. HARRIET TURNER.

Freshman Class History THE rain beat dismally against the windows as Mrs. sat A sorting over the contents of a small hair-trunk open before her. She was a nice looking lady of advanced age and her eyes wore a far away look as she fingered lovingly the time discolored letters and memoranda.. She was about to close the trunk however, when her eyes fell upon a leather bound book. "Oh," she said with manifest pleasure, "it's the diary I kept when I was a Freshman in Kewanee High School. What a happy year that was! Let me see the first entry. Here it is." "August 31st: Well we entered high school today, and a scared bunch we were I must confess, as the building loomed up before us. But the teachers were kind and directed us to our various classrooms. Yet in spite of their precautions, several of us got lost, bolted into Senior recitations and backed awkwardly out amid jests and laughter." "Well that must have been about fifty years ago and how well I remember it. I wonder what our next move was?" "September 9 : A meeting of the class was called today and a committee appointed to draw up a constitution." "My what a disorderly meeting that was! Motions were made and seconded in the most unparliamentary way. (That was before we decided to conduct the meetings by Robert's Rules of Order.)" The old lady read awhile in silence, then she burst into laughter and read : "September 25: A funny thing today. One little freshman after washing her hands at the drinking fountain, inquired timidly of a passing Senior as to where she should find a towel. Some of us realizing the enormity of our unfortunate classmate's mistake, drew her away and rescued her from the annihilating glances of the Seniors." "September 29: The following officers were elected today: Chas. Endor, Presi- dent; Harold Scott, Vice-President; Mildred Cable, Secretary, and Harold Szold, Treasurer. Mr. Rawley was appointed class guardian." "September 30: Today a committee for the selection of colors, motto, etc., reported. We chose violet and gold for colors, and for our motto—"We will find a way or make one." "October 5: Already our class is gaining distinction in our various branches and growing in favor. The sun never shone on smarter mathematicians, while Miss Crosby declares with the unmistakable conviction of truth, that she never read themes like ours before. "October 16: We had our first encounter with amphibians this morning in Physiology. Despite the wave of sickness that swept over us we advanced boldly and laid a timid finger on the back of a slimy frog." (Confined on page So.) (38,)

Proclamation of Emancipation Hear Ye! Slimy Scummy Pernicious Sons of Perdition ! Knock kneed—Sawed Off Hammered Down—bucket Headed—Soup Brained Excuses of Sophomores— SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE!!! The Great Grand and Glorious class of 1912, superior both in quantity and quality wishing to mitigate the offensive Stigma which the swell headedness of the Double- Jointed—Giraffe Necked Rooster Crowing class of Suffermores has placed upon it. in their beastly brutal and uncouth Ignorance Hereby De Clares itself freed from the despotism of the Sophs. Therefore take heed, know, understand and learn that you are to the class of 1912 as the interior of a soap factory is to a lady's perfume bottle, even, () ye booze Bottlers, as a crawling worm is to the King of Beasts. THEREFORE BK IT RESOLVED— 1. That we shall wear our sky-pieces whenever, and wheresoever it may please us—in that sturdy fashion like unto the manner of Mr. Sweet. 2. That we shall remain seated in chapel, if we so desire—even though the earth be moved from beneath us, and the mountains be shoved unto the seas—likewise we shall study during the reading of the Word—and eat all the peanuts left over from feeding the Faculty Zoo. 3. We shall strenuously object to applications of that weapon of chastisement— commonly termed "paddle." 4. We shall w?ander as we list, without the incumbrance of a member of the Faculty, or Police Force to amuse us and see that we don't get lost. 5. We shall powder if we choose; we shall not wear less than three reefs in our trousers (in spite of the law) and we insist upon having at least one bath a month. 6. We shall hold tightly to our playthings—except when Mr. Rawlins asks to borrow' our nursery bottles after school. These things do we swear by the Sacred Patch upon the seat of Sir H. P. B. J. Sweet's Striped Overalls. THE CLASS OF 1912.

A Freshman's Love Song Out upon a high school reservation, Not very very far from civilization, But where the feet of mothers seldom trod, A freshman went to school one winter And met a girl, a real hum-dinger And to her this love song he did sing— You are my pretty little Freshman girl Every time I look at you, my heart is in a whirl. Though now we are only in the Freshman class Quite soon we shall get higher if we can only pass, We'll go walking every noon And at evening we will spoon, We'll grow wiser every day, And together we will stay, If you'll only be my High School Freshman girl.

(421 LITERARY 1909 EE-NAW-EK 11 All's Well That Ends Well" HE Honorable Ellsworth Alstyne, president of a well known New T York City bank, tilted back in his deep leather chair, and stared at the self-confident youth who stood before him. "Now see here, young man, you have wasted an entire hour here, attempting to convince me that you are absolutely essen- tial to my daughter's happiness. W-e-1-1! Can you provide for her as I have done? Of course not! Can you clothe her in the manner to which she has become accustomed? No! Can you give her the home, the name, the social standing, in brief, can you bring to her everything that a daughter of mine has a right to expect, and which . Oh! 1 tell you, there is no use." With a bang the chair came to its usual level, and the magnate glared at the fellow who had dared to come to him with such a proposition. "An awfully choice lot of nerve you have," he thundered—"you, a man on a salary, with a view of a raise in about seven years. Why, sir, do you realize that your entire year's salary wouldn't furnish pin money for my daughter for one month !" "But my father"-—began young Harwood. "Your father," thundered Alstyne, "your father. I don't care whether your father is President of the United States, or a day laborer on the Panama Canal." "But er-er-er—let me explain." "Sir! Sir! 1 believe I have already told you that there is no use; I admire your grit and spunk, but the man who marries my daughter must be a hustler." "Mr. Alstyne, 1 shall surely show you that 1 am a hustler, and you will have to hurry if you expect to catch up," and with this reply young Harwood stalked out of the office. Alstyne was very narrow minded in regard to his daughter. He forgot the days when he himself had been a salaried clerk, when he had courted Lizzy, when they had worked, and earned and saved, and when fortune had been kind to him. He could not understand that another cared almost as much for Dorothy as he himself. Dorothy was the joy of her father's heart, his comforter in stormy times, but like her father she was very determined, and when she decided to do a thing usually did it. Feeling much depressed Richard Harwood went out to Dorothy's home, to talk matters over with her. He expected her to feel badly, as he did, but not so! She began to arrange with careless grace, a vase of flowers, all the while humming a tune, finally asking quite abruptly, "Well, what did dad say?" "Say! Well, he as much as called me a common fortune hunter, and said I belonged with the rest of that tribe. Said I didn't have any 'sand,' and in just about two words, said 'Naught from naught leaves you.' I had about as much success as if I had spent my time orating to a telegraph pole, and I'm sure .things wouldn't have been quite as cold." Dorothy laughed merrily and picked up the morning paper, with a sly mysterious (Continued on page 48.)

Also the wonderful tales of thrilling adventures told by L. E. in oral theme work would electrify or should we say, shock the whole school could they but hear them. In concluding this, our last will and testament, we lay aside all thoughts of hostility toward the Seniors of 1909 and wish them every success in their encounters with the stern realities of life. As for ourselves, we only hope that we may fill the places of Seniors as well as 1909 has filled them. A. R. BUSH (45) 1909 EE-NAW-EK

The High School History Club

The need of some organization which would promote culture, a love of appreciation of all that is beautiful, has long been felt in the High School. Mr. Rowley, instructor in history, recognized the need of such an organization and so brought the matter before the Seniors through the medium of Harrison Batten, the class president. Thus it was that a number of Seniors with a few of the underclass men met ()ct. 2, 1908, to discuss the situation. The project met with the approval of all present and the name of "The High School History Club" was adopted. Within a few days a short business meeting was held and the constitution read and accepted. Then fol- lowed the. election of officers which resulted as follows: Harrison Batten, president; Mrs. Lola Spenser, vice-president; Laila Mayhew, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Row- ley, advisor. After Mrs. Spenser's withdrawal from school the vacancy was filled by Charlotte Cavanaugh. The officers acted as program committee and submitted to the club the plan of the programs for the year. Literature Nov. 20, 1908 Architecture Feb. 26, 1909 Music Dec. 22, IQO8 Religion March 26, 190c) Painting Feb. 10, 1909 (len. History April 23, 1909 Government May 14, 1909 At the first meeting under the heading of Literature, Randall Parrish gave a splendid talk on Historical Studies, and two papers, one on William Cullen Bryant, the other on Robert Burns, read by Bess Bannister and Asa Blish respectively, were given. Miss Armstrong of the High School Faculty gave a number of selections from Burns, and Mr. Hoffman gave Bryant's "Thanatopsis." Refreshments were served and the remaining part of the evening was spent socially. In a similar manner the other programs were carried out. The next program, given Dec. 22, on Music, was entertaining as well as uplifting. The two papers on the lives of Schuman and Handel read by Laila Mayhew and Louise Warner respectively were excellent. Selections from the works of the com- posers were rendered by some of Kewanee's most talented musicians ; Elizabeth Blish. Hugh Price and Paul Lofquist, all graduates of the High School and Ruby Sumption, a member of the club. So much was to be said on the subject "Painting," that it was necessary for three papers to be given on this subject. "Painting Before the Renaissance," "Painting of the Renaissance Period" and "Modern Painting," were the three papers read by Opal Wolfe, Ruby Waller and Hazel Knight. Miss Trask gave a very interesting talk on the three styles of Painting. Interspersed among the papers were some good musical numbers, namely: a violin solo by Sadie Price, a vocal solo by (Trace Good- rich and two piano solos by Ruth Szold and Hazel Lory. The last program which can be recorded here was that on Architecture. This time also three papers were read, the first on "Grecian and Egyptian Architecture," written by Leland Anderson, and read by James Hogan, the second on "Gothic, Roman and Byzantine Architecture" by Fidelia Greene, and lastly "American Architecture" by Ralph Neville. Again Miss Trask favored us with a talk explaining the stereopticon views that were shown illustrating the various kinds of Architecture. The musical part of the program consisted of several vocal and piano solos. We are all looking forward with great expectation to the three programs which are to come, on Religion, History and Government. At our next meeting Dr. Nelson is to give an address on "Man a Religious Being." Then the three papers, the first on "Confucianism and Christianity" by Leota Moss, the second on Buddhism and Brahmanism by Helen Hodge and the last on Moham- (46) 1909 EE-NAW-EK medanism and Judaism by Harry Ehlers are sure to be intensely interesting. Rev. Father Crowe has consented to talk on "General History," April 23. This address with the three papers on China, Japan and South America, by Harrison Batten, Ralph Powers, and Nellie Harkness, will afford an excellent program. The services of some good speaker will be sought for the last meeting and in addition to this, Eva Cloud, Jesse Stabler and Charlotte Cavanaugh will read the papers—"The History of Govt. Outlined," "Principles of the United States Government" and "Commission City Govt. in the United States." Members of the Club and all those who have heard the programs will agree in saying that the History Club has proven a very instructive and enjoyable institution. We tender a vote of thanks to Mr. Rowley as its founder. May it long continue to prosper!

"() Dot, Dot—could we, could we—would you," and he danced around the room, "but gee! what will your father do afterwards?" "Why—well I guess I know dad better than he knows himself, and if he sees that we have gotten ahead of him, I don't believe that he will interfere." "() Dot—good!—good. Dad is coming to the city tomorrow; we'll take him with us," fairly yelled Harwood, and so it was arranged for the next evening. So absorbed were they that the footsteps in the hall passed away unnoticed. Yes indeed—her father had appeared just in time, and overheard the scheme. He would show that young rascal now, allright! But no ! he decided to wait and spoil the plans just as they neared a successful completion. At seven next evening Dorothy went over to see a chum of hers, at least she started there, but Harwood was waiting on the corner, and in a few moments they were spinning away down the road. At the salf-same moment, in the absence of his chaffeur, Alstyne, after several furious attempts got his machine started, and in a highly exasperated state of mind reached the street, turned, and started after the runaways, just as they rounded a corner some blocks ahead. He drove recklessly after them, greatly excited, lest he should fail to interrupt their plans. Faster and faster heeding neither the pedes- trians nor vehicles and not giving a thought to yelling policemen. Then the unex- pected happened (as always), for as he was congratulating himself upon the chances for escaping from the enraged guardians of the law, and catching up with his daughter—a tire blew out I Of course pursuit was at an end, and in a moment he was in the hands of two big policemen, who commenced to march him to the nearest station. Of all things! That he—one of the most prominent men of the city, the President of the First National—that he should be arrested for scorching just like any common man. Oh! it was too much. He simply raved in his rage, but his captors retained a firm grasp and insisted that he go peaceably; and at last he went, inwardly raging. When he was seated in the ante-room of the judge's court after his arrival at th.L- station the words, "I pronounce you man and wife" did not attract his attention, as they came through the slightly open door, for he had forgotten about the mad pursuit which fate had interrupted. Then the door opened and an elderly gen- tleman came out. At first glance he recognized him as an old college chum. Be- coming engrossed in conversation with him, he became quite oblivious to all around him, until his friend turned and said, "Let me introduce my son and his wife." "In-tro-d-d-uce," fairly bellowed Dorothy's father, "introduce. Man! I've been chasing that confounded rascal all over this country for running away with my girl!" Then the better side of his nature got the best of him. and he laughed outright. The others laughed with him; and he decided that for once he had been fairly outwitted. Thus did Dorothy prove that in truth "All's Well That Ends Well." (48) "LES MISERABLES' 1909 EE-NAW-EK

Tfie Reciters' League

Motto—^HARD WORK IS GREATER THAN TALENT

HE Reciters League was organized at the beginning of the school T year, and immediately achieved great success. Under the efficient management and instructive teaching of Mr. Hoffman, it rose to such prominence and unbounded popularity, that at once it became recognized as one of the leading organizations in the High School. Early in the school year it was proposed by those receiving instruction in elocution to conduct a series of Recitals throughout the year, to exhibit to the public what progress and benefit the students were deriving from the work. Accordingly the League elected for president, Leota Moss, for secretary and treasurer Charlotte Cavanagh, and for director, H. G. Hoffman. Pink and white were adopted as league colors. Mr. Hoffman suggested the motto, "Hard work is greater than talent," a motto truly appropriate to such an institution, as was evidenced by the fruits that were reaped Dy some, who, considering the short space of time devoted in this direction, achieved wonderful success in this particular line of work. The first recital was held November 6. An audience of about one hundred and fifty attended the entertainment. All were agreeably surprised over the progress and advancement made by the speakers. An audience of two hundred greeted the reciters, at the second recital, held December 19. Another recital was held on Feb- ruary 12, Lincoln's Birthday, another on April 16, and the last on April 29, making five in all. One of the most interesting features was the large crowds that attended these recitals, showing that not only were the recitals of advantage to the student, but also that the public in general were interested in the Elocutionary work of the High School. One great advantage that has never been heretofore enjoyed by the students, is the individual instruction, enabling each one to make more rapid advancement, than would be possible in class instruction. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Hoffman, who, by his thorough knowledge of this subject, and the untiring zeal and interest, manifested by him for his pupils, has done much to bring the standard of the League to its present elevation, and obtained for him the credit that he justly deserves. The members of the League this year are: Leota Moss, Charlotte Cavanagh, Lona Chapler, Gertrude Bayer, Opal Wolfe, Hazel Lory, Fidelia Greene, Eunice Fuller, Dorothy Caverno, Anna Swanson, Wilma Carroll, Ethel Myers and Harry Ehlers. Although this is the first year that this work has been carried on, it is hoped that it will establish a precedent that will be a sure groundwork for the succeeding classes.

When Bridge "Made Good"

It was just six o'clock by the old mission bell, as Bridge jumped from his hammock, donned his worn khaki, and started for the mess room. A chill wind uncommon to the tropics was blowing from the south, and as he sauntered toward the kitchen, tardily completing his toilet, he shivered from the biting air. Only a few natives still clustered about the tables at the farther end of the bungalow, and with a curt nod of recognition to these, he seated himself near the door, idly glanced at his mail, and called for the Malay cook, a native of no mean culinary ability. It might be mentioned just at this point, that the hero of this tale, was not in his present condition and surroundings from inclination. While at one of our western universities, attempting to master a stiff course of structural engineering, he had fallen before the charms of a certain young lady attending the same institution, much to the detriment of his studies and the anxiety of his parents. Bridge Senior especially opposed such action, and it was on his recommendation that the unwilling son was shipped off to the island of San Marc, a lonely spot in the southern Pacific, where the company of which his father was president, had started extensive operations toward reclaiming several thousand acres of fertile soil in need of rainfall. Old Bridge, expecting great things of his only son, and confident that a little strenuous work would most likely supersede all external affairs, such as those of the heart, had placed a limit of eighteen months on the work, and had provided him with everything necessary including a ship- load of San Francisco Coolies, and even a supply of good cigars. The specifications called for the erection of a large shipping pier at the southern end of the island, a bit of tiling for a tract of lowland in the same division, and the construction of two reservoirs in the northern and central districts. The old man's expectations had been fulfilled in regard to the progress of the work at least. Bridge, anxious to make a success of his first job, had made every effort to complete the work in the allotted time, and with the cooperation of his three trusty assistants was just about to finish the central reservoir, and send in a clean report a month ahead of time. Through his efforts, the chaos and disorder among the natives, very apparent at his arrival, had been transformed into military order and precision. The scanty paths once inaccessible, were now rolled and shaped into broad highways fit for the proper transit of produce, and the fever infested villages now boasted of an excellent system of sanitation. Yes! The father was right. The son had exhibited an executive ability which was surprising, and the company could be well satisfied with the progress made. Hut in regard to the affair with the girl—well—the engineer could often be found in his room with a photograph distinctly American and a packet of letters which certainly resembled anything but business, correspondence. But so much for his presence in the island. While waiting for his breakfast, he again glanced at his mail, which usually consisted of dry reports from his assistants in various parts of the island. Bell, his aid in the southern end, reported the drainage and pier work almost completed. Fleming, his old college chum in the northern district, sent in the usual information as to weather conditions with a warning against sudden squalls, and cloud bursts, reporting at the same time, the completion of the northern reservoir five days before. Smith, the veteran engineer of the eastern end, also spoke of the threatening weather and gave a full report of the completion of his work. Bridge noted the warning, hastily finished a light breakfast, and hurried off to the large concrete dam where a thousand coolies were about to begin the days work. Four great concrete mixers were puffing and grinding away at each end of the long span, and a never ending line of wheelbarrows slowly began to creep out along the sides, depositing their, burdens in the great steel forms, where the cement was allowed to harden about the framework of steel girders and beams. There was an occasional com- mand from the Irish foreman, the hurried orders of the chief engineer and the constant shifting and creaking of block and tackle. This was a scene of action which meant much to Bridge, as every hour marked another step toward the completion of this, his initial attempt. By noon, the last section was completed and it only remained for the workmen to tear away the huge framework which had served for a working foundation. For two hours the laborers rested from the terrific heat of noontide, and then at the call of the whistle, filed back like so much machinery to complete the job. Bridge standing at the crest of the great dam, picked up his field glasses to better .survey the work. To his surprise, he noted a low fringe of threatening black cloud far down on the northern horizon. Clouds at this season generally portended squalls, and hurrying forward to his foremen, he issued orders to push the work with all speed. The change was soon apparent. The derrick engines belched forth great clouds of black smoke as fresh coal was heaped into the furnaces; the brown line of men moved faster; there was the incessant screech of derrick wheel and pulley, as beam after beam of huge dimensions was torn from its position and swung to land; orders flew faster, the blows from the sledges became more frequent; everyone was now working as a unit, a cog in a great machine. Far up in the north, the clouds rolled black and threatening; great gusts of wind marked their coming and sent the wild fowl and tropical birds chirping in fright, among the shelter of the palms. In the short space of thirty minutes, the sky was overcast, and great drops began to patter among the foliage and on the hard roadway. Of necessity the work was discontinued, an'd all sought shelter from the coming downpour. Finally the storm broke; a perfect deluge of water lashed into sheets of spray by the terrific wind. For hours it beat down incessantly, absorbed by the parched soil like a sponge absorbs water. Behind the dam there now stretched a long shimmering length of beaten water rising every moment. The unlooked for had arrived. The semi-annual rainfall had come a month ahead of schedule time, and found the dam completed. Bridge chuckled complacently. He had certainly "made good," and could well expect suitable praise irom the corporation. Had the work remained uncompleted, the rainfall of six months would have been. (Continued on page 106.)

Desc-u-vered!

It was midnight on the prairies. High up in the blue vault of the glorious sky sailed the moon; but alas and alack, it was not a bargain sale. The countless stars twinkled merrily, while hither and yon swaggering bunches of ethereal effervescence (Vimontically called clouds) tipsy as loons, sought in vain to find the milky way. Across the freshmanlike grass below, galloped a horse. Its rider stretched far out along its neck, and in a despairing voice, which sounded as if its owner had been trying to read Shakespeare for Miss Brown and had let it fall (hard), shrieked terrible epithets into the animal's ear such as "Hurry, hurry, you spirit of Galesburg!" or "Faster, faster, thou incarnation of K. H. S. Sophomores." A mile and a half behind this man rode another in pursuit of the first. He whipped his horse vigorously and smiled with satisfaction at every gain he made upon the foremost man. Faster and faster they rode, pursuer and pursued; faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and—well, that's fast enough. For every mile he rode the man behind gained about 5,280 feet on the one in front, and finally he caught up with him. When the ruthless ruffian saw that his pursuer was at his side, he made a movement toward his hip pocket; but quick as a flash (-light) our hero (for that's just who it is) produced a revolver, and covering him with it, forced him to dismount. "I have caught you at last, Tom Treddlehoyle," hissed our hero. The other man folded his arms with calm disdain. "And who may you be?" he said. "You know me." "Yes, I do know you, Jack Dalton. For 17,643 long years have you chased me around this globe, and you haven't once changed your ." "That may be all true, Tom Treddlehoyle," replied Dalton. But you are the perpetrator of the most heinous crime ever committed. I have done what you say, but you—you—." "What?" gasped Treddlehoyle. "You scattered stinkum on the floors of the Kewanee High School!!! ** ?? — !!!" "R-U-I-N-E-D!" shrieked Tom Treddlehoyle; and clasping his head in his hands, with one last moan he sank to the grassy sward, a lifeless corpse. Overhead the stars still twinkled, and five miles back, a hardy cockroach ran down a giraffe's leg and slapped him resoundingly on the wrist—once—twice—thrice.

(54) Alumni At the first of the year the Board of Editors instituted an Alumni Department in the expectation that it would serve both as a useful catalogue of all graduates and as a means of recruiting the Alumni of the KEwanee High School. Strenuous efforts were made to secure information and data concerning every alumnus for publication under this head, but owing to the lack of support, we were forced to abandon the project toward the close of the year. However, thro the kindly consideration of several graduates, we are enabled to publish a few pleasing articles. We desire to heartily thanks these few who have assisted us. To Alumni at large, we would say that it is the fond hope of the 1909 Board that a stronger feeling of association may exist between the graduates of K.H.S. in the future, and that all further productions of this sort may feel confident of their hearty cooperation in producing an Alumni department which will be treasured by every alumnus. 1909 EE-NAW-EK

HERE are so many high school activities in the present day, that T the same thought comes with much force to the majority of graduates, "What was the most vital thing in my high school life?" To the older ones, the work and play alike were much simpler than they now are, and it is just in this respect, I believe, that so many of us miss the most important part of our younger days together. The time of the old-fashioned spelling-match, with all its good natured fun and rivalry has passed, and we, perhaps would not recall it, were we able, for we acknowledge the modern methods to be superior. And yet, there is a something lacking in the new relationship, which, I believe, is more a result of thoughtlessness than anything else. In competing in one of the numerous contests of field and classroom, we are obliged to work hard'and strive; and strife carried to excess among us here at home, is so apt to cause hard feeling. We forget that it is not competition for the individual, but for one good cause, and all the honor we can obtain will not benefit us individually, if we must know that someone is hurt by our gain. There are only four short years together, years of impressions and friendships, and when we leave for college, all the petty things disappear, and it is the lessons that we have learned, not principally from books but from our co-workers, that count. ()ne is then placed upon one's owTn responsibility, to make friends and a place in that miniature world—college, and I tru.lv believe that our deepest appreciation of our Alma Mater lies in the fact that she gave us our first real lessons in true friendship.

The Alumni

HE Alumni of the Kewanee High School has among its members T many intelligent, cultured men and women of the city. It is well represented in all walks of life, for the author, lawyer, physician,, business man and woman, teacher, and working man and woman are among the ranks of graduates. The High School may well be proud of its graduates and the graduates too may well be proud of their Alma Mater. A complete, satisfactory history of the Kewanee High School would cover the evolutions of the town from a small prairie village to the present time when commo- dious churches, residences and buildings both public and semi-public, mark the growing demands of the city. The school has been the pride of the community from the beginning in 1855 when James Elliott gave land for the Union Academy for the joint use of Wethersfield and Kewanee, until now when the present High School building with the manual training department, gymnasium and all the up-to-date accessories of a modern school, together with a corps of efficient instructors is placed at the disposal of the High School students. The members of the school seem to be taking advantage of every opportunity and many advances are being made along all lines. All the successes of the High School are watched with pleasure by the members of the Alumni and the class of 1909 has the best wishes of the graduates in the publication of their Annual.

Her spirit and her wish to do, When amid the happy throng The best toward every man The spirit lightly flings That in the toast reverberant be, All caution to the winds The note of peace and unity And voices but the lesser things, In pursuance of her plan. Then, may staunch and true arise And growing strong in volume now And to the toast respond, Speaks of her ambitions, how Courting neither praise nor blame She would and will succeed Fearless of the tipster's shame, And ending in a prophecy But proud to hold before that crowd Of sterling worth and hope for thee The glories of his patron's name.

Athletic Association

The Athletic Association is open to all members of the High School, and this year as usual, a majority of the students have joined. The object of the Association is to encourage athletics and sports of all kinds, and at the same time to insure an increasing interest in every thing of that kind. The Association is governed by a Board of Control, consisting of the president and vice-president of the Association, the managers of the different squads and the principal. The officers, who have served this year are:

President ...... LAWRENCE M. HALL Vice-President ...... FRED HILL Secretary-Treasurer ..... LELAND H. ANDERSON

To some it may be interesting to say that this is to be the last year during which Kewanee will hold membership in the Military Tract High School Association, as it has been decided to join a league, called the Big Eight, composed of Galesburg, Moline, Monmouth, Princeton, Rock Island and Kewanee, there being two more prospective cities. The officers of this association for the coming year are as follows:

Basketball Review

HE past season in Basketball has been a comparatively good one. T At the beginning of the year coaches and supporters of the High School Basketball team, had perhaps an equal measure of hope and fear. By the withdrawal of West, Enslow, Trekell and Lawson, the success of the team was made doubtful, and as these men did not return until later in the season, it was necessary to break in new material. Much credit is due those players, principally Hall. Timson, Gamble and Warner, who faithfully stayed by their team during this period of un- certainty. The first game of the season was played at Galva, with the Galva High School. It was marked chiefly by sensational goal throwing, and rough play on the part of both teams. The Kewanee squad fought hard and plainly outclassed their opponents in team work. The score resulted 28 to 24 in Kewanee's favor. Encouraged by their first victory and by the return of those men who had prev- iously withdrawn, the team, a week following the Galva game, trounced Brimfield in an exciting contest by a score of 31 to 26. The next home game was with Galesburg. The Galesburg team was composed of five husky looking fellows, who were much older than the Kewanee players. At the beginning of the game they seemed to be very confident, but when Harry Trekell, the High School's left forward got a line on the basket, and got into working order, all the confidence they ever possessed soon left them. Charles Whiffen as center also played a point winning game, shooting baskets from the middle of the floor repeat- edly. Kewanee won, the final score being Kewanee 43, Galesburg 34. On Friday. February 19, the team competed in the State Championship tourna- ment. The boys made an excellent showing here, although pitted against some of the fastest men in the state. The games which they lost, moreover were extremely close. They lost the first game to Mt. Carrol by a score of 48 to 46. In the second game they held the fast Rock Island team down to 15 points, the score being 36 to 41 in Rock Island's favor. The next two games were with Ottawa, Kewanee losing the first one by a score of 42 to 40, and the second by one point, the final score being 27 to 26 in favor of Ottawa. In Coach A. R. Watson, the Kewanee High School has found a trainer who will bring the best out of whatever material it has to offer, whether it be in Basketball, Football or on the Track. Taking charge of the team late in the season he accomplished much. Under his direction a combination was perfected which ranked well among the best of the state. The Basketball outlook for the season of TO is promising, Smith and Enslow being the only ones who will not be with the squad next year. It is hoped that the enthusiasm over the success of the game this year, will serve to make the next year's team a greater success than the team of '09. L. SMITH. (60)

1909 EE-NAW-EK Football Review The Kewanee High School football team opened the season of 1908 on Saturday, Sept. 19 by losing a well fought game to the Alumni, the score being 15 to 0. This game although a losing one did not discredit the team in any way, since the Alumni consisted of nearly all the players of the 1907 champion team, while the High School squad was made up of a bunch of "green men" led by one veteran, Capt. Wasley. Much credit is also due the coach, Mr. Watson, for the showing made by the team in their first game. He undertook to work up a squad where the available material was in no way promising. On the next Saturday the Orange and Black lined up against the strong team from Macomb and defeated them by a score of 28 to 16. Considering the fact that this was only the second game of the season, the boys did remarkably well. Next came the game with the Princeton aggregation. They were heavier and more experienced than our boys- The home team was defeated by the close score of 10 to 0. On the following Saturday the team journeyed to Monmouth, for the first out of town game of the season. Kewanee held its own in the first half and scored a touchdown. This was not allowed however, on account of an alleged foul. In the last half Monmouth succeeded in gathering 18 points, making the final score 18 to 0. Capt. Wasley was not in this game and was missed both for his offensive and defensive work. In the Rock Island game which came on the next Saturday the locals held the strong Island'ers to the narrow margin of 11 to 4. The showing made in the game reflects much credit on the team as Rock Island's team was composed of heavy and experienced men. The next was a return game at Princeton. The team was defeated by a close score of 5 to 0, after Kewanee had threatened to score in the first half of the game. Then came the game with Aledo. They had a record of but one defeat in six games and that by William & Vashti College. They came confident of defeating the locals by a large score. Much to their surprise however they were defeated by the overwhelming score of 35 to 0. In this game the team played the best football of the entire season. Both offensive and defensive work were fine. A wet and slippery field prevented the effective use of the forward pass, otherwise the score would have been much larger. On Thanksgiving Day the Orange and Black lined up against the strong team from Galesburg. Galesburg had not been defeated during the entire season and claimed the state championship. In the first half the heavier and more experienced Galesburg players succeeded in piling up a score of 16 to 0. In the second half, however, the light Kewanee team sprang a surprise. They held the Galesburgers to one touchdown and outplayed them during the entire half. But for some of a losing team's football luck, we would have scored at least two touchdowns. At the end of the second half the score stood 21 to 0 in favor of Galesburg. Considering the fact that Galesburg regarded themselves the state champions, the showing made in this game gives credit to the light and inexperienced team that opposed them. While the season was not a glaring success, neither was it a failure. Some of the men had had no experience, in fact all except Wasley, and he was out of the game entirely after the first two weeks of play. In the squad were many promising men and it is safe to predict that next season Kewanee High School will have a team that will be in line for the State Championship. B. KIRLEY.

firack Work, '08

HE past year has seen Kewanee making giant strides of progress T in track work. It has been rightly said that "Kewanee's fame in athletics is steadily increasing," and the record of the Orange and Black squad of '08 certainly seems to justify this statement. With Emerit Hodge as captain and Orlo Smith as manager, the team completed one of the most successful seasons in athletics in the history of the Kewanee High School Athletic Association. Although not large, the team was composed of men who worked hard and who could always be counted on to do their best. The only dual meet of the season was held at the Fair Grounds, Saturday, April 18, with our old rival, Galesburg. Every contestant entered his event with a determination to do his best to uphold the honor of Kewanee, and as a result we defeated the visitors by twenty-seven points, Galesburg securing forty-five points. The eighth annual Military Tract meet was held at Abingdon, May 1st, under the direction of Kedding College. A team composed of seven men, represented the ()range and Black in this contest. The weather, of course, was rainy, the one-third mile cinder track heavy with mud and the accommodations only fair, but in spite of all these drawbacks our representatives overcame all obstacles and secured first honors with a total of 37 points. Galesburg secured second place with twenty-five points and Abingdon third with twenty-three points. On May 16th a team composed of Hodge, Nance, Wasley, Kellogg and Chritz- man was entered in the interscholastic meet held at Urbana under the auspices of the University of Illinois. The best high school athletes from the leading schools of the state, including those of Chicago, were entered in this meet, so our men were in very fast company but not altogether out of their class. Hodge secured the gold medal in his event, the four hundred-forty yard dash. Although the other four men failed to be point winners they were "game" in every sense of the word, and did their best, showing a stick-to-it-iveness that has always been characteristic of a Kewanee aggregation. This year the annual track meet between the representatives from the twelve schools comprising the Military Tract Association will be held at Galesburg under the auspices of Knox College. This year will undoubtedly be the last one that Kewanee will remain a member of this association, as we have entered a new league, recently organized, which will be comprised of the leading schools throughout this section of the state. By forming this new league it is hoped that athletics will be more evenly contested than they have been formerly. This year, however, Kewanee will be entered in both of these leagues and it is hoped that the team this spring will be able to at least keep up the standard of athletics established by their predecessors, if not to raise it. The squad will be composed mostly of new material but nevertheless the prospects are favorable for a good track team. L. HALL.

Girls' Basketball of'09 Oh the best old game is the basketball game ! This has been more than proved this year, both in the number of players and in the good attendance at the games, played with more enthusiasm than formerly. Every Wednesday and Friday a crowd of girls can be seen in the gym., practicing with all their might. Much rivalry has existed between the Comets and the Meteors, the former captained by Sadie Price and the latter by Lona Chapler. The Comets' men are Genevieve Bates, Anna Gulshen, Mary Brady, Sadie Price and Irma Davis. The line-up of the Meteors is as follows: Lona Chapler, Clara Zable, Ruby Sumption, Jeanette Kreidler and Teresa Armstrong. So far the Comets are dubbed the first team, but the Meteors are working hard to win the championship. Besides the members of the two first teams, there are many beginners who have a good show of making one of the squads. This year we have a new coach, Miss Gish, who has worked hard to develop more team work. Some of the other teachers also seem to have developed unusual interest in basketball, Mr. Cham- pion and Mr. Watson, for instance. There has been some talk of arranging for a game with the Abingdon College girls. If we do, we are confident of victory, for our fast forward, Jenny Bates, will mount up scores that will take the breath away from the Abingdon girls. Then those guards, Price gets there every time with the ball, steady and sure as clock work. And Mary Brady just picks the ball off; she is quite tall, you know. We hope that Anna will find a guard that she can handle down there, for she has many woes here at home. The basketball year is going to end in truly fine style, for we intend to have a banquet at the Saratoga Cafe. Nothing quite so elaborate has been attempted before, and we think it will be a fitting termination to the basketball year of '09. OPAL WOLFE. The Basketball Girl There's a dear girl, a sweet girl, a pert vivacious girl, Who inhabits our High School "Gym" And the manner in which she fractures our hearts, Is to be condemned as a sin. Her crimes defy detection, they savor of affection, As only the school l.vl knows, For his mind's in a whirl, as this graceful, swagger girl Comes merrily a tripping on her toes.

She seldom makes a basket, though she's practiced in the art, She'd rather miss a million, than to lose a fellow's heart But for mutual protection, I present a strong objection, To her public exhibition in that inspiring part. (66)

"Ding it all, T can't make scores!" Said a black eyed High School girl. "Put her in, oh, put her in," Shouts our Jennie with a grin. Careful, Anna, that's a foul. There's no use, Claire, to stand and stare, We will never get the game, If Gen. Bates goes quite insane, While you gaze into the air. Now, Rose, anyone knows that you Cannot strike a pose. And gritting your teeth, Won't help you out, Sade, To get another basket made.

I don't see why Beulah laughs When she falls upon the floor, Or why the Comet's new bonnets Make the Meteors all sore Now, Ruby, don't feel so bad, A little water you'd be glad To take, if it wasn't a mistake. Oh, Ella, you are a fright To think we are not all right. With Nellie away, There's no fun today.

Wilma, you're a jewel; And Anna Chisnall too i While Florence, could not be beat. If they didn't save a seat For Dick in the very front. Centers are very good things. If they're strong and work with springs, Like little Eloise up here, She's a dear ! Like all the rest! Now Lona, please do not scold, i\nd signs don't do any good. It takes a good feeling for all, To win games of Basketball.

The school and all our schoolmates dear, And after them our way to toil. To join those who have gone before Climbing far up and still beyond, And who no longer linger here. Until we reach the highest goal. CHORUS. CHORUS. JIs Seen by Mary A High School girl, who had witnessed an accident of a car running into a horse and wagon, was asked to fill out the following paper which she did : Full name—Mary Ann, with the last one like father's. Where do you live—Sometimes at school, or at home. What is your occupation—Writing your old paper now, other times playing with paper dolls. Your Age—Mother told me not to tell—besides, honestly, I've forgotten. Did you see the Accident—Why! of course. You Bet. Where were you when the accident occurred—In a street car on a seat, next to my sister. Where did the accident happen—On the street, in the middle of the tracks, at the front of the car. Was the car in motion—Yes, because he was ringing the bells. Were any bells ringing—We weren't near a church, so I don't know. Who, in your opinion, was to blame for the accident—Why, the wagon, and partly the horse, too. Do you know of anyone else who saw the accident—Why of course I do. Name and address—The horse (I don't know his name.) Address—In front of the wagon. There was also a little dog, but I wasn't very well acquainted with him. (jive an impartial account of the accident as you saw it—Please ask the horse, the dog, or the conductor, because they know all about it. Sincerely Mary Ann (last one like father's.) P. S. 1 hope the horse don't make you pay too much for killing him and the wagon.

Justice, the American Ideal In every human being there exists an element of accountability. "The constant and unswerving desire (as Justinian remarks) to render unto every man his own." We term this the sense of justice, and in its enthronement, we recognize the master hand of the Creator. We perceive that tin's sense varies in intensity proportional to the degree of civilization, and at the same time we are fully aware that where there is a foundation for social security, there Justice is most revered and there it is the determining factor in the relationship of society toward the individual. It is needless at this time to bemoan the miscarriage of Justice in the past or to theorize upon the probable remedy for such conditions. On the other hand, it is imperative that we look to the future, and if possible consider the course which shall determine our future relationship, both as individuals toward our fellows and collectively or nationally toward other peoples. Today, we in America possess distinguishing characteristics; habits and desires which have in great measure determined our national growth. We are noted for our optimism, our strenuosity and our farsightedness in business affairs, and we have grad- ually come to consider these qualities as a part of the national character. But to the student of our development, one principle seems to have dominated our entire exist- ence and to have determined our position as a world power today. It is the principle of Justice ; in our modern parlance, "The Square Deal." To the true American, this has ever existed as the Ideal, the final consummation of his hopes and endeavors. Through our brief but momentous history, we can trace the line of Justice as the determining factor. With patriotic fervor and devotion, we point to the foundation of American Justice on a free soil at Plymouth Rock and we may proudly affirm that it was that longing for "The Square Deal," which prompted the sacrifice of our Pilgrim forefathers, in pursuance of such Divine principles. We enshrine the Declaration of independence—and the Constitution as the most sacred instruments which ever delivered a people from tyranny or established a lasting democracy and can we forget for the moment that Justice and Equity demanded and assured these expressions of Americanism? And when we analyze our past relations with the world powers, we cannot fail to see that this "Square Deal" policy has been the vital factor of our relationship. The Monroe Doctrine, a policy demanding Justice between the two continents is fairly indicative of this Ideal, the ideal which has been the gauge of commercial intercourse, so strengthening the foreign confidence, that as a result, American credit is today unquestioned. At home as well as abroad, it is the standard of governmental business and do- mestic relations. Our Representative government, our right of Appeal, our Free Press and even the recent Primary Law, all exist as evidences of a common desire to render unto every man his own. And the demand for Justice and equity daily increases. (Continued on page 82.)

"Soliloquy Up to Date"

Two B, or Twice Two B—That is the equation. Whether it is nobler indeed to study advanced Algebra, or go to the Bijou Theatre and then flunk the next day, or to copy problems from a fellow sufferer and then find 90 per cent of them wrong? To cheat; to flunk no more at all? And by a flunk to say we end the heartache, and the thousand natural "stalls" that teachers are "on tc," 'tis a consummation devoutly to be missed. To cheat; to study. To Study, perchance to Flunk—aye—there's the rub. For in that path of Flunks oft do we meet dignified Seniors, who have stacked their cards, and "renigged" (0 Piffle) there are the Juniors. That make calamity of so long a life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of Ruby Waller, the tax-assessor's wrongs, Sarah Spears' "tummy;" Sam Wasley's love affairs, the laws delay, civics notebooks, or make "Shaky" Kirley get shaved twice a week, when one can get beautiful pink hosiery at Szold's? Who would dye their hair and study until midnight over Shorthand, but for that dread of something after graduation, the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns.

"I guess I never will forget that," she said. "Did we venture into the whirl of society that year I wonder? Oh, yes!" December 4th: Last night we had our party. The girls all wore their best dresses and the boys moved uncomfortably about in new suits, tight shoes, and high collars. The first part of the evening we tried to act dignified as became our rank and position, but after the refreshments were served we played Blind-Man's-Buff and had a good time. A few of the boys asked to take a girl home. We hope they will wax stronger in this respect in days to come." November 28: Today the Thanksgiving game was played.

(Continued from page ~JQ.) When, within the century and a half of our national affairs, have the people risen as a body and demanded the correction of unjust ratios and values, as they have during the past seven years? Why have American gentlemen of integrity and influence, as Roosevelt, LaFollette, Folk, and many others of the same calibre, engi- .neered and conducted such movements, regardless of political or financial con- sequences? The reason is self-evident! The people have awakened. They have demanded a Pure Food law. and their petition lias been granted. They have asked for a "Square Deal" in railroad rates, and were given the Rebate Law. These are but a few of such examples, but they serve to illustrate the popular tendency. Private and cor- porate "graft" now begins to feel the influence of the popular conviction, and even the skeptic must admit that America is fast assuming the rational form, in demanding Justice and Equity for all. We may readily deduce from the forgoing then, that any analysis into our national character must reveal the fact that we have chosen Justice for our Ideal. From the beginning, we have identified our interests with those of the oppressed, and now within a decade, we have stepped from obscurity, to the position of law- giver, and every civilized land today feels the influence of the American "Square Deal," whether manifested through the voice of the courts, the medium of peace negotiations, or upon the battle field in defense of the justified. The question arises as to our power to retain this position. Today, for the first time in the world's history, a fleet of battle ships, an American fleet, pronounced by experts to be the best equipped and manned on the high seas, has encircled the globe. Through every port and land, the news has sped that America, the stripling of the West, has now assumed her rightful station among the world powers, and is fully capable of administering Justice and Equity even beyond her own borders. It is not the victory of authority by force of arms, but it does represent the triumph of American hopes and sentiments ; the triumph of the American Ideal ; the Ideal of the Pilgrim, fighting to dethrone the injustice of British tyranny; the Ideal of the Revolution, "the Spirit of '76," blessing the new world with the assurance of Liberty; the Ideal of Equality and Freedom, wrecking if needs be the Union, for the Emancipation of a million slaves ; the same American Ideal, unbounded by race distinction, reaching out across the Atlantic, to establish its priceless value, on Cuban soil. This then, the sense of Justice, is the ideal of every true American, pilot of our past, arbiter of the present, glorious promise of our future advancement.

COMMITTEE COMMENT. "During the administration of the present qualified and efficient officers with the assistance of the members who have never failed to do their allotted share and considerable more, to maintain the purpose of the club, its reputation and high standard of excellence; the Hammer Trust has not felt the recent financial stringency in the least. This is partly due to the seldom equalled examples set by the faculty who, evidently have been perfect in the art from early childhood."

COMMITTEE REPORT. At the last meeting officers were elected and delegates chosen for the Grand Pow Wow next Septober. Owing to the fact that each and every member of the organization has read the Ritual carefully from cover to cover, and is in tune with its teachings and requirements, the club has flourished and now leaves on its rolls a list of as competent, confirmed and capable young men and women as any club has ever produced. Judging from this point of view, the object and reputation of the club will not suffer on account of the ability of the Delegates, or will they be expected to bring anything home but first prize. The examination will be thoroughly practical and competitive. They will be required to knock on themselves as well. It is not feared in the least that they will go very far into detail, or be selfish in this branch of the business. In order to polish up on a few technical points of the Art, they will be invited to sit in a faculty meeting and visit room 13 regularly. It may be well to mention that the secret of the clubs' success is found to lie in each member being equal to any and all occasions, grasping new ideas for future use, and following in the footsteps of opportunity. From this it can be seen that coolness and foresight in action has established a high standard of efficiency in their field work that will seldom be equalled. (P. S.)—If any of the members feel disqualified, resignations will be accepted at this office or if that is not convenient write to Sweeney or Mrs. Heck. As a last resort, if these are impos- sible, put the crowbar in the ice box, go to the fire and blow the smoke away.

Ninety years ago— A noted great aunt of Miss Crosby's eloped with an expert horse thief and was convicted for receiving the property? Eighty years ago— Mr. Hoffman was giving elocution lessons in an institution for the blind, deaf and dumb? Seventy years ago— That Miss Vimont was learning to say ABC, and Mr. Jones was speculating in hair dye? Sixty years ago— Mr. Sweet was having his hair done up in green and yellow ribbons, and was playing horse on a broomstick ? Fifty years ago—- That Miss Maul was teaching in the primaries over at Nekoma ? Of course you know that. Forty years ago—• Mr. Champion was perfecting a devise to make a typewriter write 13 different colors at once. This device was never placed on the market, however, because at the crucial moment he was compelled to give his attention to the development of the muscles of his ears. In this he was ably assisted by watching his father's mule. Thirty years ago— Miss Beadle had never heard of "Dutch" and could only count nine on her fingers ; during the last two years she has made much progress however, now being able to reach seventy-five, in grades, quite easily. Twenty years ago—• Mr. Rowley was discovered smoking corn silk cigarettes in the wood shed. Ten years ago— Mr. Watson's mother was compelled to have a suit made especially for him because he was so small that neither shoe dealer or clothier could fit him. Even at present he wears a No. 1 shoe. "MARVELOUS." Last year— The faculty held a private meet—in which Miss Trask astounded those present by taking first in the pole vault and shot put, and third in the greased pig contest. She has refused to do any feats this year and it is rumored that she is now in training for a season with the Barnum-Bailey shows. « FROM BREAD EATERS TO BREAD EARNERS.

(Continued from page 52.) wasted with a resulting severe loss to the company. He glanced through the bungalow window at the huge monolith of steel and concrete which spanned the gap. Surely, that could well withstand the pres- sure of all the water for miles up there in the north. He would telegraph however and instruct Fleming to hold back the water from the hills until the storm receded that the strain upon the central reservoir might be a more gradvial one. He sat down to the instrument and began calling for station B. He soon received an answering click, and after a few words, started to issue an order to open the gates after the storm ceased. He had just transmitted the first three words, "Open the Gates," when there was a deafening crash. Sparks flew from the wires, and for a moment, the interior of the room was lighted by a greenish glare of tropical lightning. In vain he tried to send the rest of the message. Either the wires were down or the connec- tions ruined, as he could get no response from his assistant. Of a sudden he realized that within a very short time, a great wall of water would come whirling down the canyon with terrific force, to batter his retaining wall of stone. He now saw that he was powerless. It was simply a question of the greater efficiency of his work of months, and would either prove the merit or worthlessness of his construction. Now Bridge possessed a little of what we term the American sporting blood and although it would be a contest in which his reputation would be at stake he was just as ready to witness the onslaught of the elements against the barrier of human construction. Buttoning fast his oil-skins, and grasping his field binoculars, he hastened out into the storm. Against the first blast of wind he would have reeled and fallen, but his years of athletic training served him well, and stooping low, he ran for the dam. Out he crept along its white expanse, bracing himself against the scaffolding, unmindful of the terrific beating of rain and wind. For several moments he peered through his glasses down the long fifteen mile stretch of gulch, but was unable to see the great wave which would soon be upon him. As he crouched along the northern edge, he happened to look downward, and to his surprise, saw that the great valve or flood gate, which would serve as an outlet in time of drought, was swinging open. Some careless workmen had evidently forgotten to lock it in place, and the levers which controlled its operation had not been set. In an instant he saw the danger. When that great mass of water swept down from the north, it would rush through the gate, deluging the lower country, wasting the storage water, and probably in its terrific force, tearing out a large part of the dam. The gate must be closed and there was not a moment to be lost. A few feet to one side was a large coil of manila rope, and securely fastening one end to a huge cross beam, he hurled the other down the side of the dam, and prepared to descend. Before he started he took a hurried glance through his glasses, and to his indescribable horror, saw a white crest rising and falling, and tearing along far up the gulch. It would require speed, but he was always ready to save his reputation. Grasping the rope as he had frequently done at school, he shot down the distance of forty feet. But he was several yards to one side of the short gate lever, and was forced to swing out several times before he could reach the hard steel. Grasping the rod, he braced himself against a bit of framework, and pushed against the door with all his strength. It seemed an eternity before the ponderous mass began to move. Finally it swung to, and holding with one hand to the rope, and with his legs twined about it, he attempted to fasten the iron bar into position. Already he could hear the humming sound of the fast approaching battery, and he realized that in a few seconds the moving mass would be upon him. Sum- moning all his strength, he clicked the bar in place, and grasping the rope started up those forty feet of rock wall. Up he climbed, hand over hand, fearful lest at any moment the water should reach and batter him into insensibility against the concrete. His arms, his whole body was now shaking from the awful strain, but with a final effort, he lurched over the edge, and fell exhausted upon the top, still con- vulsively clutching the rope There was a thundering crash as the foes met, and a great spray of foam and water drenched and partially revived him. He crawled to the edge. Down below was the surging caldron of water which he had so lately cheated, and beneath him was the vast span of stone and steel, his own construction which had successfully resisted the tremendous force. It had been a battle royal, and man had conquered. But the mental and physical strain had been too great, and of a sudden his nerves seemed to snap, and he lapsed into unconsciousness. The natives found him there shortly afterward, and bore him to the hospital quarters. For days he was insensible, but when he awoke, he was again ready to finish the work. The first thing to demand his attention was an accumulation of mail. Of course there were the same excellent island reports and letters, but in the collection were two envelopes of American postmark. One was from the company, highly complimenting him on his excellent showing, also containing a post- script from "Dad" informing him that he was justly proud of the "kid" and also that a comfortable check awaited his arrival. The other was—well—it came from the girl and among other things was an accept- ance of a proposition made by the boy himself, several weeks before. Can you guess what it was? The writer leaves it to your consideration, but at the same time he assures you that all further arrangements were perfectly satisfactory to Bridge Sr.

Who Wouldn't Be a Football Hero?

'Oh, Tom," she cried on greeting me, Then I calmed her tender, groundless fears, In tones of great alarm, With eagerness and haste, 'They said that in the game today, And (just to prove my arm was sound) You'd broken your right arm." I slipped it around her waist. So nestling close beside me, She looked sweetly in my face, "I'm glad," she said, "it is not broken Nor even out of place."

EFORE we part, the Board of Editors takes this opportunity to thank B all who have in any way aided toward the production of this book. To the wide awake business men and women of the city, who have con- tributed to our advertising columns; to students and friends who have helped us, financially or otherwise ; to the members of the Fac- ulty and the Board of Education who have so liberally supported us. the management extends its sincere thanks. Like many contemporary works, this volume may well be likened to an uncut diamond still in the rough. Concealed within its pages is the crystal which alone receives its lustre and value from the polishing and refining of years of experiences. We are about to leave the halls of Kewanee High. Soon we will put to a test, the principles and fundamentals so necessary to our success, and it is in that future time of stress and worry, that the 1909 Annual will fulfill the mission for which it is intended. The Board of Editors has no apoligies to make. We present this volume to your future consideration, trusting in the meanwhile that it may fittingly typify the spirit of '09 ; that it may serve as an inspiration to our successors, and that to every graduate, it may remain as a treasured record of four brief years of experience.

An Appreciation

In publishing a book of this nature, a great difficult}' is encountered in securing high class photographic work Such service demands a high grade of efficiency, tact and long experience, as well as a personal interest and cooperation with the students. We believe that such a happy combination may be found in the person of A. H. Hultgren, who, with possibly a few exceptions, has produced all of this year's work. We would heartily recommend that all succeeding Senior classes give Mr. Hultgreen the first consideration in selecting an artist for the Annual.

What the Mail Man Brought

DR. RAWLINS & Co., DEAR SIRS : Allow me to recommend your excellent remedy. It has been my succor in many instances. Your nerve Vitalizer enabled me to invite myself into the kitchen where the Annual Board were making fudges, eat all I could cram down and when I brought a lady friend over to the game the idea came to me that it wouldn't hurt my pocket book any if I told her they were hardly fit to eat. Your tonic saved my life when Ruby broke a date with me at "Hilley's dance as well as the dollar 1 didn't pay. Your wonderful nerve Vitalizer has also enabled me to "butt in" to Annual Board meetings on the same aforesaid invitation. Your nerve tonic has made me a full-fledged army mule, and a charter member of the Gimlet Club. Yours, in Verasity, BORE-BROTHERBORK LAWRENCE DE HALL, Chairman Corkscrew Committee.

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : After taking sixteen bottles of my famous Nervine I have found it possible to be very deaf at certain convenient times especially when I am sticking a penalty on some student who has a better argument than myself. I have also found it very safe to be extremely blind when some student reminds me that the last penalty comes under a new rule made for the occasion. My famous Tonic has given me an appetite that a refreshment committee will seldom extend the "glad hand" to. My famous Yitalizer was instrumental in the Healy-blistering-bee. It gave me new life and ambition to carry out that little stunt, 'til I had some business of my own to tend to. With hearty recommendations to all, I remain, Yours, REYNARD RAWLINS.

NORTHERN' ILLINOIS ASYLUM FOR NATURE CHEATED LOOSE NUTS. WATERTOWNJ Dec. 23, 1908. DEAR MR. ROLLINS: We are unable to make any definite statement as to John's future. All we can say is that, had not common sense been neglected he would have been here sometime ago. His attitude is amorous. He has formed a strong attachment for the nurses and loves 'em all. Mr. Carr is at present moping, we hope that he'll turn off the water is a day or so. Yours confidentially, DR. DIPPY VAN BORELY.

DEAR UNCLES We had a serious fire down our house St. Patrick's Day. Shortly before we went to bed, Frank put the little brown pig to bed in its cradle. About morning it got the nightmare and kicked the lamp over. It didn't hurt the pig any as we found him asleep in Miss MacGoogin's coal skuttle after the fire. Don't worry, for he only singed his eye brows. Your Nephew, KERT BIRLEY.

DEAR MISS NOTFACTS : I am deeply in love with a girl who is a year or two younger than myself. Is that robbing the cradle? Please advise as to how I can persuade her father to allow her longer evenings and the other two nights a week. Yours Lovesick, BUNK POWERS.

DEAR MISS NOTFACTS: I'm in love with a young man, Timson by name; he seems to care a great deal for me but he loves 'em all too. I want his undivided attention. I have heard rumors to the effect that Olga Waller takes a great deal of his attention. This strait of affairs has lost me much sleep but with your advice I feel sure I'll be able to regain his affection. Please answer immediately. Yours in anxiety, FLORENCE BUSH. WOW! She's Out!!
