Senior Class Prophecy

’Twas a bleak autumn evening in October, 1935. A short, fat man dug his paddle energetically
into the swirling black waters of Ralston Rhine, desperately propelling the swerving canoe far up
the stream winding like a gruesome serpent ’round huge mountains of garbage and junk that had
been hoarded and stored for years by the celebrated conservationist, Harry Shulman. A mile
above Schump’s pasture, the panting stocky man ceased his labors with his gaze fixed amazingly
upon a dark cave of inky blackness. Curious still as in the days of ’17, the dwarfish figure
paddled to shore to explore his newly-found wonder. He plunged into the seemingly impenetrable
darkness and soon found himself shivering in a huge, cold, rocky room atrociously decorated by
nature with the well-known stalactites and stalagmites the formation of which Jessie P. had
long since pounded into his brain. Only a fleeting glance sufficed for these, however. An object
of much greater interest held him spellbound. In the center of the cavern, humming wierdly and
bending mysteriously over a huge smoking cauldron that reminded our hero of the well-known
opening scene of Shakespeare’s "Macbeth”, stood a tall, gaunt, witchy-kitchy figure with a nose
like Beck’s, eyes like Waterbury’s, teeth like Roosevelt’s, a pout like Unda’s, and hair like a wild
man from Borneo.
“Aha, Paul Custer, whot dost thou here?” cried the witch in silken tones that sounded like the
rustle of the shredded wheat on a Hula-Hula dancer. Paul did not answer. The witch continued, “I have been preparing a magic powder which, when flung into this boiling, seething mass
before me, will reveal the present occupation of your classmates after their twenty years’ struggle
with the world. Wouldst thou tarry and behold the wonder?” Paul feebly nodded his assent.
Though he had stood the rebuffs of many and many a lecture on his faults and tardiness at
school, he was unable to comprehend or even keep his nerves from tingling at this awful spectacle.
Thereupon the witch flung the magic powder into the cauldron and the cave was enveloped with
a fume more awful than the odors of the old chemistry lab. Then all was darkness.
Paul fell upon a near slab of rock and swooned. In rapid succession familiar faces upon
familiar bodies engaged in every sort of occupation presented themselves. First came “Barney”
Dondore managing a matrimonial agency. Upon his waiting list were Noel Harrison, Robert
Meardon, Robert Heberling, Percy Osborne, and Robert Hayes. Secondly came “Bus” Eglin
conducting a sideshow in the Marousek-Reilly Circus. The sideshow features Hank Munkhoff
as the fat man, Celestis Presson as snake charmer, Maud Plum as Dancing Doll, and Helen
Hayes, the famous tight rope walker. Thirdly came Art Green and Frank Newberg conducting
a beauty parlor. Fourthly, Harold Watters had been admitted to the bar. Fifthly, Lloyd Ander-
son was preaching in a church in Downey. Sixthly, Clement Boyle was coaching the State
Championship Team of Marble Players in Coralville. Seventhly, Buster Brown was serving
as an office boy for The New York Times. Eighthly, Laura Garnett and Alan Rockwood, Lucile’
Blakesly and George Brueckner, Hattie Colony and Clarence Potts were engaged in cabaret
dancing at Monte Carlo. Ninthly, Otto Brysch, Kenneth Lambert and Justin Kelleher were the
big muckymucks in the Grooved Building Brick Syndicate. Their wonderful invention, which
revolutionized architecture and made.Ruskin take the count, was their grooved bricks which
when embedded in the walls of 'buildings furnished excellent transportation for rain water to
flow to the ground, doing away absolutely with the hitherto troublesome, rusty eaves-troughs
and pipes.
Tenthly, Lawrence Casey and Florence Dunkle were singing for the Salvation Army. Elev-
enthly, Fred Gartzke was engaged in the manufacture of synthetic ostrich eggs. Twelfthly,
Carl Tuning was supervising the digging of an underground passage around the world. Thir-
teenthly, Clairie Smith was selling remodeled 1919 Ford flivvers for $5.00 apiece. Fourteenthly,
Robert Luscombe was aiding Tom Edison in the perfection of a flying torpedo. Sixteenthly,
the war having ended, -Helen Brucher had traveled to Germany and there married the Crown

Prince. Seventeenthly, George Fiesler was doing research work in the wilds of Africa, trying
to make monkeys human. Eighteenthly, Lorna Keith was the head of the Price Soup Manufacturing Company, and had, at that time, placed 57 varieties of soup on the market. Nine-teenthly, Eugene Taylor was posing as an art model in a sphagetti factory in Italy. Twentiethly, Ernest Worman was being hailed by the world as a second Billy Sunday, having served
as an understudy for ten years. Twenty-firstly, Walter Louis, Harold Konvalinka and Lowell
Newcomb had been tragically devoured by wild squirrels. Twenty-secondly, Mary Rupener,
Alveretta West, Virginia Carson and Jeanette Lawyer were representatives and senatresses at
Washington, D. C. Twenty-thirdly, Hortdn Payne was getting rich from tips in his position as
head waiter at Delmonico’s. Twenty-fourthly, Mamie Ford, Velma Kaufmann, Jane Flynn,
Helen Lake, Rose Durst, Helen Ruppert, Gladys Borts, and Dorothy Negus were engaged as
the great beauty chorus in Ziegfield’s ‘’Follies of 1935.” Twenty-fifthly, Karl Kaufmann was
the chief of the West Liberty Fire Department. Paul was assistant. All of a sudden the fire
bell rang, Paul rushed to the pole but tumbled over Karl and fell to the stony floor below—the
bell was still ringing—a voice called— his master’s voice—“Paul, get up off the floor and shut
off that infernal Big Ben. It’s ten o’clock; why didn’t you set it right?

All study is to me as nothingness,
All work to me is childishness.
All the world to me is seemingless.
All life to me is idleness.
I’m afraid to look up from my book,
I’m afraid to make a noise,
I’m scared to death to cast a look
At those big Senior boys.
I wish I were back home again..
These fellows’ hearts are stone,
I fel so awful little here,
I’m scared to be alone.
Of knowledge much have I obtained
Tristigmatose prescriptions gained,
Unravelled dense conglomerations,
And answered hard interrogation.
And thou hard work I’ll never love,
There are pleasant, still pursuits thereof.
My head swelled? Not a bit, my boy;
I’ve been here quite a while.
We Sophs are about the best thing here,
Oh, Yes? we have the style.

To notice those about us,
But if we’d quit, school soon
It couldn’t run without us.

The annual George O’Brien Cup, presented every year to the student making the
best athletic record in Iowa City High, goes this year to George Fiesler. Fiesler has
proven himself to be one of the most popular men in the school and has been superior
in athletics, gaining six monograms during his school career. “Fizzy” has been a lead-
er in all of our football, basketball, and track teams during the past few years and
certainly deserves this, one of the greatest honors conferred upon any student by the
Iowa City High School.

The Victorious
“ Tittle Hawkeyes

Football Review, 1916
The prediction was made by those in close touch with the situation at Iowa City
High that this would be a successful year in athletics. The dopesters must have had
some inside dope for the prediction was certainly correct as far as football and basketball were concerned.
The football season was one of the most brilliant in the gridiron history at Iowa
City High School. Teams that have nearly always walloped the Red and White
in former years were decisively defeated in 1916. Doctor Von Lackum returned
as head coach and with a good nucleus of old men to build around, a lot of good mate-
rial in new men that reported and second team men of 1915, he developed a wonder-
fully fast team that swept all of its opponents, with the exception of one, off their feet
with its powerful offensive. On defense it was strong enough to keep all opponents but
one from crossing its goal line.
The early games revealed- clearly the fact that Iowa City had the material for a
great team. Columbus Junction and Mt. Vernon were defeated by large scores in
the opening games, then the team journej'ed to Fairfield and evened up matters for
the defeat of the year before by whitewashing that aggregation. The Newton game
was canceled on account of a snow storm. Cedar Rapids invaded Iowa City on October 28 and upset all dope, winning from a superior team 19 to 0. This defeat was a
hard blow to the “Little Hawkeyes” but proved to be a valuable accident in that the
rebuilt team that walloped Clinton two weeks later could have held its own with any
High School team in the State. The right men were found for each position and the
team had “the old fight” charging like a steam roller. Grinnell was the next victim
contributing her scalp to the tune of 41 to 0. The Red and White had hit her
stride and was going at full speed when Davenport arrived on Iowa Homecoming
Day, cocky over handing Cedar Rapids a 20 to 0 trimming. In a great exhibition of
football the River City heroes were forced to accept the small end of a 38 to 7 score.
Then on Thanksgiving Day Iowa City wound up the season by annexing the unbeaten Dubuque eleven 26 to 0 in a game that thrilled the Turkey Day multitude.

Fryauj— Playing his second year at left
tackle “Freaky” could break up any interference that came at him and was a tower of
strength when he played up to his form. He
was playing his best in the Dubuque game
when he broke through the line and threw men
for losses on several occasions.
Kloos—The captaincy for 1917 was fittingly
given to the best half back in the state, George
(“Zip”) Kloos who made a

High School player. He was a

+5 yard run. He ran 100 yards
through the Fairfield team and in the Clinton
and Grinnell games tore off from 40 to 60
yards several times. Neither Davenport nor
Dubuque were able to stop him and he ran
70 yards the first time he was given the ball
in the latter game. His sure tackling, good
kicking, and handling the ball on forward pass-
es stamped him as the best in his class.
Cafrt. Fiesler—His line plunging was a
ture of every game and he tore through the
best lines in the state for big gains. A full
back is supposed to make just line plunges,
but “Fizzy” would plunge, then tear off 20 or
30 yards before he was stopped. His defensive
work was stellar. He tackled hard and low,
rarely missing his man. Seldom he failed to
kick goal after touchdowns. Surely he was a
great leader of a great team.
Darner—The success of Iowa City’s offensive was due in a large measure to the head-
work and grit of its pilot “Shorty” who hand-
led his team with the generalship of a Napoleon. He called the plays fast, handled the
ball accurately and was on the receiving end
of many successful forward passes. He made
up for his lack of weight with fight and head-
work.
Pilcher—Also playing his second year was
fast and clever and could pick holes like a
rabbit. He pulled off several sensational runs
and would always come through the needed
yard or two for a touchdown.
Osborn—By his fighting, heady playing
“Osy” held down the left end job. Although
handicapped by lack of weight he fought his
way to a regular position over larger and
heavier players. Very few' gains were made
around his end and he was fast getting down
under punts and nailing the man with the ball
in his tracks. He will be greatly missed next
season.
ilirt—The big center never bumped up
against anything that he could not handle and
when he was in his fighting mood no team
made any gains through the center of the line.
“Fat” should do great things next year.
Thotnan—With his 165 pounds of beef
“Rosy” filled his guard in such a way. that
few gains were made through him. He should
also give a good account of himself next year.
Mocha—Won his place at guard by the fight
and charge that spoiled the plunge of any back
that tried to go through that side of the line.
Valentine—His work at tackle was great.
Playing his first year with Iowa City he proved
to be a stellar performer in every game in
which he played. He could open a hole in
any line.
Gross—Playing tackle at the first of the
year, he was shifted to right end after the
Cedar Rapids game where he won his fame.
He wras the speediest man on the team and the
sensational run he made when he overtook a
man that had gotten away in the Dubuque
game will be long remembered by those who
saw' it.
Brown—Although the smallest man on the
team, “Windy” distinguished himself when he
filled Darner’s place after the latter was injured in the Davenport game, by his nervy
tackles and ability to intercept forward passes.
Watters—A new man at Iowa City High,
alternated with Fiesler and Kloos and got into
almost every game. He could hit the line hard
and low, ably filling half or full in the back-
field when called on.
Brueckner, Munkoff, Potter, Harrison, and
Boyle were good substitutes who won their
monograms. “Brick” played a great game
w'hen he went in for Hirt at center in the
Davenport game.

The basketball team of 1917 established a record that has never been equalled by any
former Red and White team, and which is very likely to stand for some time. This
year for the first time Iowa City was represented at the State Tournament, after having won eleven of its twelve scheduled games and the Sectional Tournament.
Darner and Fiesler were the only regulars that remained from the 1916 team.
However there was a wealth of material included in the second team of last year and
new men who joined the squad. Captain Darner was unable to work with the team at
the beginning of the season on account of his injury. The team which Coach Souchek
picked, for the first team, early developed great form and gave promise of a champion-
ship contender. The short-passing game used proved to be effective against every team
played during the season. The fine floor work was a feature of every game.
In the first game. Lone Tree was buried 61 to 0, making the first of eleven consecutive victories. Oskaloosa, on her own floor, was the only team to defeat the Red and
White until Mount Pleasant nosed out a miraculous victory in the final championship
contest at Ames. Cedar Rapids, last year’s state champions, were walloped three times
by Iowa City.
Certainly Coach Souchek’s second year with basketball at Iowa City was crowned
with success. To Walter (Dad) Fiesler, who assisted Souchek, must be given much
credit for the showing made by the team and proved to be the “man of the hour” at
critical times in decisive games.

Iowa team as its captain at
Ames. At the close of the
season he was unanimously

In the Sectional Tournament Iowa City' earned the privilege of battling for the
State Championship by defeating Springville, Lisbon, Williamsburg, and Cedar Rap-
ids. Springville threw a scare into Iowa City in the first game by outplaying the sec-
ond team which Coach Souchek had started, and only the splendid work of the regu-
lars after they were sent in saved the day. Lisbon and Williamsburg proved to be
“easy meat”. The final game between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids was fast and
furious. The score was tied twice at 15 and 17 respectively in the last few minutes,
but the Red and White forged ahead in the last minute. The whole Iowa City team
starred, while Barvinek was the stellar performer for the Parlor City aggregation.
But for the phenomenal performance of Mt. Pleasant’s star forward, Green, in the
final game of the State Tournament, Iowa City High, instead of the Henry County
school, would be boasting the State Championship.
The Red and White made a great showing by defeating Sioux City and Indianola
in the preliminaries, and leading in the final up until the last three minutes of the
game. Sioux City' had been doped to win.
Referee Quigley’s selection for the all-state five included Captain Darner as its
captain, forward, Konvalinka center, and Fiesler guard, while all other critics gave
Iowa City two men. Montgomery, guard, and Green, forward, were the other mem-
bers of the all-state team.

In Walter (“Dad”) Fiesler, an alumnus of I. C. FI. S., class of 1912, Iowa City
High has a booster whose interest in all athletics has meant a great deal to the school.
As trainer in football, basketball, and track “Dad” takes an interest in the men and
has an influence with them that has much to do with the success of the various teams.
He comes back to I. C. H. S. each year purely through his interest in the school and is
deserving of all the credit that is given him. The success of this year’s basketball team
is due in a large measure to his untiring work.
Doctor Von Lackum developed a fighting, charging team which spilled the hopes of
some of the strongest aggregations in the state. 1 he snappy, shifty style of play that
he instilled in the men was admired by’ critics who appreciate real football. He stood
for true sportsmanship and the inspiration that he gave to the men was responsible in
a large measure for the fine showing made by' the 1916 team. As a player he was one
of the greatest ends that ever play'ed on a University of Iowa eleven. His knowledge
of football is thorough.
Physical Director Souchek has coached the basketball team for two years during
which time Iowa City' High has been represented by' the strongest teams in its history.
He has had a wealth of material each y'ear from which he has turned out winning
teams.
As assistant coach in football he had charge of the second team. The results of his
scouting expeditions he gave to his “scrubs” who gave the first team excellent scrim-
mage through the year.
He has had charge of the track team for two seasons and developed
been consistent point winners in the big meets of the state.

The High School military company—known as Company L of the State University
of Iowa Regiment—was organized at the beginning of the second semester of this
year. The purpose was to give elementary instruction to the students of both Iowa
City High School and the University High School.
The entire schedule of instruction which has been followed has been based on the
idea of giving such elementary military training that those who had taken it would be
qualified to enter a University' or National Guard organization with advanced stand-
ing in practical drill. The instruction has included the school of the soldier and all
movements and formations of the squad and company. In addition, special lectures
have been given on the care, use, and the loading and firing of the service rifle.
It is hoped that next year enough will be drilled for the establishment of a Junior
Unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps here. If this is done the Federal Gov-
ernment will issue uniforms and other necessary equipment to the school and will de-
tail an officer for the instruction of the company.
The members of Company L wish to express their appreciation of the kindness of
Captain Morton C. Mumma in supplying instructions for them and in permitting the
use of the building and equipment of the Military Department of the State Univer-
sity for their instruction.

Abating Club
by a 2 to 1 decision. The question debated

Although the prospects for the year did not seem bright last fall when the club was
again organized, nevertheless the season has been a very successful one.
The club, which meets eveiy Thursday evening, elected for the first semester the
following officers: President, Ernest Wortman; Vice-President, Alan Rockwood;
Secretaiy and Treasurer, Willis Nutting; and Chairman of the Program Committee,
Justin Kelleher. For the second semester they chose: President, Alan Rockwood;
Vice-President, Herbert Prince; Secretaiy and Treasurer, Willis Walker; and Chair-
man of the Program Committee, Paul Mercer.
Two intersociety debates were held, one with the Literatae and the other with
Alpha. The first was lost by a 2 to 1 decision and the last was won by a unanimous
vote.
Only two inter-scholastic debates were held. Our negative team, which consisted
of Justin Kelleher, Clarence Reilly, and Willis Nutting, went to Grinnell and our
affirmative team, Lloyd Anderson, Alvaretta West, and Ernest Wortman, debated
with Cedar Rapids here. Both teams won
concerned industrial insurance.
The success of the teams was due to their own -industiy and to skilled training.
Mr. Foster, the efficient coach of the debating teams of the last two years, leaves at the
completion of the school term for Harvard University where he will attend the Law
School. He has had much experience, and knows debating from A to Z; combined
with this he has superior ability to teach others. Undoubtedly, the success of the season
was largely due to his efforts.

Our Rifle Team
The Rifle Team has again brought I. C. H. S. into the nation’s limelight by winning
the National Championship (if the unofficial reports are verified). At the present
writing all matches have been shot off and the Red and White hold a twenty-three
point lead over any other high school in the United States contesting. The Astor Cup,
which has been won by our school six times already, has not yet been shot for this year.
The match is scheduled for the week of May 13th.
New targets were installed this year and this move is held accountable for the drop
in the standard of scores set by Iowa City teams in former years. Preparatory matches
were held at the start of the season to acquaint the amateurs with range and balance.

Science Club

The Science Club consists of all the Junior and Senior students who are interested in
science. The meetings arc held on the first Monday night of every month and a pro-
gram is given either by some outside speaker or by our own members. At the beginning of the year the prospects of the Science Club were rather gloomy, perhaps more
so than those of any other organization in school for the society had lost most of its
members through graduation. However, the club was enlarged by earnest work on
the part of the leaders to about forty members, and was organized for regular work
in November.
One of the most interesting programs held throughout the year was a talk on
Hawaiian Islands” by Professor Nutting, with slides and Hawaiian music.

At the close of last year only three members remained in this organization. This
year the club looks with pride upon an enrollment of nearly thirty young men of our
High School. Earlier in the year five delegates were sent to a Marshalltown conven-
tion. The social activities of the club have been marked prominently by frequent
“Father and Son” banquets which have proved a huge success.
This summer five men will go to Camp Foster on Lake Okobiji to represent the
local organization.
The weekly routine of meetings, held every Tuesday evening, have been well at-
tended by not only the members of the club but also many interested outsiders who
have shared the many pleasures of the meetings, the lectures by prominent
city and University, the athletic contests, the banquets, and the country jaunts and
camps.

Y. W. has made quite a year of it. Early in the fall a delicious banquet was served
at the gymnasium. Almost every member was present and they all enjoyed themselves
greatly. Since then, several parties have been held for all the Freshmen and
bers. Y. W. also gave a recognition service at the gymnasium.
At Thanksgiving and Christmas time Y. W. supplied poor families in
with excellent meals and other necessities of life.
During the winter a large number of the meetings have been most entertaining.
Mrs. Bess, Miss Hamren, and Miss Brainerd have spoken to the girls frequently.
Miss Paxson, a missionary from China, also gave a very instructive lecture recently.
The members of Y. AV. C. A. wish to send a delegation to Lake Geneva during the
coming summer. In order to do so they must work to earn the money. Candy sales,
rummage bargains, etc., have already added considerable money to the treasury.
Miss Helen Grotewohl, a University student, is to be congratulated on the excellent
work she has devoted to the society. Her guidance has helped greatly to make Y. XV.
what it is today.

The Literatae girls have done much toward making life pleasant during our school
term in Iowa City High. Their frequent farces, sometimes given to the school, both
girls and boys, and ofttimes only to the girls, have been enjoyed by all fortunate
enough to view them. One of the best plays given in Assembly was “A Case of
Suspension”.
Literatae gained a decisive victory over the proud Debating Club when the latter
challenged the former to a debate shortly before Christmas.
Each program that the organization has held has had a definite aim and all members
have been kept in harmony with that. Various phases of literary endeavor have been
emphasized such as extemporaneous speaking, original story writing, dramatic acting,
appropriate costuming, together with appreciation of good literature and music.
Literatae has progressed greatly the past year and has accomplished much, thanks
to the diligent work of the faculty adviser, Miss Churchill, and the coach, Miss Mus-
seter, and to the loyalty of the girls. Let us hope that next year’s seniors will have her
interest at heart and no longer regard her activities as a secondary matter.

The Iowa City High School is represented in musical activities by four organizations, the Chorus, Boys' Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club, and the High School Orchestra,
which are under the leadership of Mr. W. E. Hays and Dr. O. E. Van Doren.
The Chorus is made up of both boys and girls and numbers eighty-five voices.
March they gave a concert in the school auditorium, the proceeds of which went to
pay for our Edison machine and some much needed new records.
The Boys’ Glee Club has twenty-two members. During the year they have furnished one .Assembly for us and assisted in the Chorus concert. They are now planning to give some out-of-town concerts to further represent our school.
The Girls’ Glee Club is made up of thirty-two girls. They also aided in the
Chorus concert and are now working on a concertto be given with the Boys’ Glee
This society will also furnish the music for Commencement.
The High School Orchestra rendered one program for Assembly early in the year
music for both the Junior and Senior plays. Dr. Van Doren is a very
efficient leader and has done much to make this particular organization successful in
its activities.

had time to draw breath till something else was a-doing.
Our Maude Plum surely surprised us in the title role here mentioned. Her moods
were as changeable as the early spring weather, scarce could we follow her from
tenderness to anger, from joy to black despondency. Really, for her noble work at
inciting men to fight, she ought to be made a recruiting sergeant.
And Bob Luscombe in the role of Garret Foster would and did fight for her, at the
drop of the hat. Here we might mention the parenthesis that he and Noel Harrison
ought to give Hanford and Keller some private lessons in the gentle art of fencing.
Or maybe Ince could use them. It was surely good “movie stuff”. Noel was the
most convincing villain we’ve ever witnessed in an amateur performance. We have a
strong suspicion that Miss Hamren made him pretend Bob was a “Bosche”—to get
that realistic atmosphere.
Especial commendation must be given to Helen Lake for the sweetly natural im-
personation she gave of the Puritan maiden, Miriam; she gave some of the prettiest

We’ve had plays and plays in ye days gone by, but ne’er a prettier one than that

live, not act, his role.
The Junior

The Junior play, “The Bluffers”, which was given to a moderately large audience
at the Englert Theatre the evening of January 24th, revealed a wealth of clever and
comical situations well acted and staged, due partly to the diligence of the cast and
largely to the extraordinary ability of Miss Unda Hamren who has proven herself to
be one of the most capable directresses that has ever entered the halls of I. C. H. S.
The plot, featuring two French families, brought out the very pronounced characteristic of the French people—that of putting on front and bluffing—from which the
play was named.
Special mention must be made of the costuming and scenery which was, in almost
every instance, entirely original and set off the well spoken lines of the youthful actors
and actresses in a striking manner.
All in all, the play was certainly well worth seeing and every one seemed to enjoy it
immensely, aided as it was by the High School Orchestra, which rendered very pretty
music both before and after the play.

The I. C.
S. Thalians
The I. C. H. S. Thalians, better known as the Dramatic Club, which has just completed its first year, is the school’s newest organization.
Much has been accomplished in this short space of time. The organizing, the membership campaign, the extemporaneous dramatic offerings, and the like have all kept
the some twenty-two members intensely busy through the year. And their labors have
not been in vain. Under the coaching of Miss Unda Harriren of the English department the club members have been efficiently trained along histrionic lines, have been
taught as in the Public Speaking Departments and Debating Clubs proper appearance
before public gatherings.

"The Red and White

The second year of the newspaper form of the Red and White has just closed, with
a favorable outcome to that activity both from a financial and editorial standpoint.
It is hoped by all concerned intimately with the publication this year that it will
continue in its present form for many years to come and that future years may see an
independent printing press and establishment in the school with classes of Journalism
offered as a regular course.
The Social Season

As the school yeax- of ’16-’17 draws to a close wc look back and sigh happily over
the good times we have had. This year has certainly been “crammed full” of the
jolliest times ever, beginning way back last September with the “Get Acquainted
Mixer” down to this very hour.
Most of the social activities of the year have taken the popular forms of mixers, the
class mixers, the football mixers, the Y. M. and Y. W. mixers, the basketball mixers,
the mixers given by the girls and just plain mixers for everybody to have a good time.
The “Gym” has been the scene of action for all, and dancing has been the main entertainment, although at some of the more carefully planned gatherings clever games and
stunts took up part of the time.
Not only in mixers has this season been rich, but the various organizations have held
many other kinds of parties. The Science Club entertained a representative from each
High School organization at a most delightful banquet, and the Y. W. C. A. also had
a banquet in the Home Economics rooms. The girls’ literary societies have each had
several parties besides the joint literary party at Christmas time, when Santa Claus
brought each one a real present. Even the teachers caught the fever, and with their
“gentlemen entertaining the ladies” and “ladies entertaining the gentlemen” have had
several (so it has been reported) very pleasant parties. The classes vie with one an-
other to give the school at least one party at which the decorations are the prettiest, the
music the best, and the refreshments the daintiest. In all this has been a most delight-
ful season, many of whose good times will linger long in the memories of both pupils
and teachers.
Assemblies
foreign

The Iowa City High School student body has been highly entertained by the as-
semblies given during the past year. The great variety has been taken from the Uni-
versity Public Speaking Department and School of Music, University speakers, the
organizations, and various departments of our own school.
Early in the fall we were entertained by a musical program given by Professor
Hayes, Miss Hamil, and Miss Maloney. Just before Christmas vacation, December
23, Literatae and Alpha with the help of Debating Club presented very cleverly two
farces, “The Pride of the Class” and “A Case of Suspension”.
On February 28, Miss Daley, from the department of history of the University,
gave an interesting talk on “The Geographical Aspects of the European War”. The
Boys' Glee Club rendered some very fine selections on March 7th. Mr. Lewis, from
the College of Education of the University, gave a fine talk on “Pig Iron”, March 17.
An hour of our morning work was given over March 21 to readings and solos by
George Emerson Davis, Miss Mildred Brinton, and Miss Elaine McKee of the Uni-
versity public speaking department and the School of Music.
May 2nd saw the Latin and German classes in two plays spoken entirely in
language.
No-Man 9s Land at Night
Otto Brysch, ’17.
The sodden ground, with battle fragments strewn,
Is shadowed by the mists of night.
'The cratered, roughened space, jealously guarded
By cruel barbed walls and unseen men behind them,
Is yet denied the calm of truce.
For, far above, the war bird’s ominous hum
forms a background of monotony for sudden fagues of battle notes.
The searching blades of light cleave the sky, questing, wavering,
Then die, die beneath the strategem of shadowy men,
To leap again from stranger corners of the field.
A sudden splash of aerial light descends!
The ghostly outlines startle the heavy night;
Those rounded heaps, the broken debris of the fight,
Nature’s peaceful structures, riddled and torn
By Joffre’s tactics or the Hunnish trickery,
Are shown in all their helplessness.
A line of shadows rising, like demons, from the tortured face of earth
Arc mown down by the shriek and clatter of the swinging guns beyond.
Silence.
A distant roar; howling and moaning in its parabolic course,
The shell explodes and scatters wide its piercing contents or torture
or oblivion,
A lone avenger of the twitching shapes
That dared the hard disputed, narrow strip.
The human clamor faintly sounds, then falls away;
The clank and clash of steel, the soggy thud of laboring wheels is stilled.
And once again the whirring drone is evident.
The eyes, the nerves of war, the armies’ ingenious outposts in the mists
Again command the night.

not awake until his dreams seemed to carry him back to Brittany in the springtime.
His dreams seemed a reality, for the sun had just risen. The sky was a brilliant
blue, almost as brilliant as the sky at Naples where he had been studying a few years
"White fleecy clouds, that hurt his eyes to look at, lay to the south.
Rain and mud, rain and mud. The ram nad fallen for a week. Mud was the
inevitable result. One week before, on Sunday, the sun had shown its light; since
then it had been retreating before the gray, heavy rain clouds. When it did not rain
it drizzled, so that the trench, in which Jacques Dore existed, was partly filled with
mud and water. Beyond the trench in “No Man’s Land” the crater holes made by
the big shells were either filled with muddy water or oozy, gray mud. Just mud. No
touch of color at all. Nothing to relieve the eyes of that unchanging mud color.
Nothing but rain and mud. Sticky mud. It covered the hands and face and stuck.
This, with the continual, monotonous song of the bullets and the occasional bursting
of a large shell, also grown monotonous, had made Jacques wish for anything. Yes,
even Death in place of the living Hell. No stray bullet came to end his prayers for
death as relief from the dun colored sky and mud covered earth. Just rain and mud,
that was all life now held for Jacques Dore.
Dore had been a student at Paris when war broke out. He did not immediately
enlist because of his aversion to bloodshed. AVas shooting a Hun, an invader of his

This talk proved to him that he was justified in killing an invader

Back of the trenches for the first six months things had been all right. They were
even satisfactory when he was moved to the firing line. But now, he wanted to
get away from the rain and mud. Many times he had purposely exposed himself
to gun fire; but no bullet found him. He was foremost in the attempted assault
on the enemies* trenches, but again the missiles seemed guided from him. Only to
get away from the rain and mud.
The weather grew colder although it was the night before Easter. By chance,
at ten o’clock, the sky began to clear. The mud was freezing. Another hour,
more clouds had disappeared, and stars were shining. Jacques Dore was not asleep.

It was Easter. Yes, but bitter cold. The frozen mud reminded him of his
red, benumbed fingers, but what cared he? Was it not Easter morn? Peace was
in his heart. He felt happy and contented as the warmth of the sun began to pierce
his muddy clothes. He was so happy that he climbed out of the trench and kneeled
in the already thawing mud. For some reason firing had not commenced on either
side. Indeed only a few were awake and these were dazzled by the brilliance of the
day.
Jacques knelt. His Pater Noster and Ave Maria were completed, and a simple
prayer of thanks for the beautiful day. But now the old question of right or wrong
and on whose side troubled him. He would seek his own consolation—“Almighty
Judge, have mercy on me, on the French. Have mercy on the Ger—.”
His prayer was ended. A bullet completed it for him—a German bullet—. As
if by signal the firing again commenced. The sky darkened—mist—rain—rain and

Perhaps you do not know what a traveling juggler is. Very few live in this coun-
try, for the business is not profitable and men prefer to work at something else. Our
juggler is the only one of his kind I have ever met. He is a weatherbeaten, kindly
old fellow with a smile for everyone,—double for each child. Strapped upon his
back he carries the implements of his craft and a few necessary provisions for himself.
His clothes have the same appearance as his countenance, worn and marked but
strong. Their once bright colors of red and deep blue are faded by storm and sun,
but a new suit would be an innovation. The juggler wears stout boots and heavy

his back, striding down the road
The traveling juggler—the children of the village call him “Our Juggler”—has
made his rounds through the country for so many years that if he would sometime
cease, we should feel as though one of our most cherished institutions was gone.
Usually he trudges his dusty way through our little hamlet once a month from April
until October, and he is always sure to receive a royal welcome from every child in
the neighborhood. The children seem to feel his coming instinctively, and apparently
are certain of the day on which he will arrive, for he always finds a joyful group at

tumbles from his perch and races toward the laughing
As if by magic, children big and little, old young, appear from all the nooks
and corners of the old houses and shadowy lawns, and laughingly surround their
friend with eager greetings. “Well, well,” cries the showman, disengaging himself
from numbers of small hands that cling to him on all sides, “what do you know about
that!” This remark receiving no reply, the juggler goes on, “If their ain’t Sairey
Ann, what was only so high when I seen her last, and now she’s outgrowed her frocks!
And there’s little Nell, and Joe, and all the rest of ye blessed children. Now, what
does such a parcel of boys and girls want with a poor old man like me?” This
question, delivered with the most apparent astonishment and sincere wonder, is hailed
with laughter by the crowd, who know perfectly well that the juggler only teases
them. “We want to see your tricks,” they cry, “Show us the pretty balls, and the
funny man that dances on your fingers, and the little bird that hides itself. O, please,
Mr. Juggler, please!” they entreat. After various other remonstrances on the part
of the juggler, and much more pleading on the part of the little folk, the big man
slowly lets down his heavy pack, places his hat beside it upon the ground, and begins
his entertainment.

suspense, the little audience watches the twinkling, shifting display for several minutes,
until at last the magician catches all the balls in his pocket with one dexterous twist.
The tension is broken. “Please show us the little bird next,” is the clamor, so the
little bird makes his bow, performs his tricks, and is replaced in the pack.
When nearly all the tricks have been exhibited, the children whisper among them-
selves in ill-concealed excitement, for they know what comes next. Their dear juggler has never yet failed them in this, the crown of his performance.
Picking up his belongings, he makes as if to depart. “Well, goodbye, children.
I ’spect we’ll see each other some time again, but I can’t say for sure. Good-bye.” But
his progress is barred by dozens of soft little hands, whose owners look up at him with
merry faces, crying, “O, we’ve not had enough, dear Mr. Juggler! Show us just
one more trick. We know you’ve saved the prettiest for the last. We won’t let
you go!” The juggler hesitates. Suddenly some little fellow cries out, “Look!
See, in my pocket!” Wonderful! There reposes a sugar cooky, where was nothing
but a moment before. A hasty search reveals that two or three of the smallest children have similar treasures in their pockets. “Of all things!” cries the amazed show-
man, at loss for words with which to express his astonishment. The children, however,
know from whom these gifts come, and they thank their friend gratefully holding
up their tiny red lips to kiss him.
While this has been going on, the older boys and girls have quietly dropped a goodly
store of pennies and dimes into the juggler’s hat as it lies by the roadside, in payment
for their good time. Now, when the man has finally made ready to go, he picks up
his hat and sets it upon his head. “You’ll lose the pennies!” shout the children.
“What?” queries he, blankly. He takes the hat from his head again and glances in.
“No pennies to be seen! You must be mistaken. No, there they are!” To be sure,
there they are again. The magician gravely puts them into his pocket, shoulders
his pack, and thanking all the children, bids good-bye. “Good-bye, good-bye,” cry
the little folk, shading their eyes with their hands to watch their friend as he journeys
down the road. At the brow of the hill he pauses, and turns -about once more, waving his hand to them in farewell. The children respond with their hands and hand-
kerchiefs, and gaze down the dusty path until the traveling juggler disappears.

lines before establishing her school some twenty-two years ago. She was one of the first
ladies to hold a position as bookkeeper in her home city. Later she went West and was
employed as cashier and bookkeeper for the Oakland, California, Times. Subsequently she
was engaged in the same capacity in the office of the Alta, California, and also in the
United States Mint in San Francisco. She was for a time Chief Clerk in the office of
the Surveyor General of the State of Nevada and during this period, at three different
times, she was acting Surveyor General of the State. She also served as stenographer and
bookkeeper for the United States Irrigation Commission and served as Money Order Clerk
in the Post Office at Oakland, Foreign Money Order Clerk, San Francisco Post Office, and
