Foreword
At the close of this momentous year we
offer to our many friends our Victory book,
the Annual of Nineteen Nineteen. The
year, bringing with it peace after a most
terrible war, has been a remarkable mile-
stone in history, and as such it has pro-
foundly affected the spirit of Iowa City
High School. A new sense of participa-
tion in the world’s work has come to us, a
new responsibility, which has set for us
ideals higher than we had ever known,
which has laid out for us fields of achieve-
ment whose boundaries we may only con-
jecture. We have made some mistakes, of
course, but these errors, we believe, arc
completely eclipsed by the record of our
accomplishments. It is a review of these,
our deeds and drcams, that we now present
to you, in the hope that you may find re-
flected therein the glorious comradeship of
our class, our teachers, and our school.

We are proud of the fact that six of the two hundred and seventeen stars on our service flag
represent a group of former faculty members who saw active service during the war. For-
tunately every one of them returned from his branch of service safe and sound, and honored
for their efforts.
Lieut. Henry Souchek is the only one of the six who has resumed his former position as
physical trainer.
Lieut. Foster, also recently honorably discharged, has taken up work in connection with the
University.
The first enlistment from our faculty was that of Lieut. Frank Seydel.
IL D. Hum of the history department, J. R. McCoy, mathematics teacher, and C. S. Trachsel
of the science department are the other loyal educators who were fortunate enough to get across
Although we regret the loss of our former teachers from our High School, we shall never
forget their valuable services during the war.

VIOLET ANDERSON
"Andy'’
This modest little violet comes from the large
metropolis known on the map as North Liberty.
She travels to school through rain or shine and
her smiling face is seen beaming in the halls on
the cloudiest days. We've also heard that this
capable person has a faculty for painting pretty
pictures. Ask Miss Otto.

ARTHUR BALDWIN
Ye bold mechanic—fearlessly takes Fords
apart without flinching an eye. Art's inquisitive
mechanical ability has been a dominant char-
acteristic since babyhood when he delighted in
taking his dad's watch apart to see what made
it tick.
Rifle Club 4.
KENNETH BELLE
"Bud” is a known artist for condensing news-
papers into brain matter. He is a whirlwind at
the end position in football and a cyclone in de-

Charles is a bright, happy-go-lucky fellow

His frank open face and bewitching smile have
always wrought havoc among the fair sex. We
predict that these same attributes will go a long
wav toward paving the wav of success in future
life-.
Track 1.
BEULAH BUCKINGHAM
Lots of fun, always sees through the joke with-
out having to write it on tissue paper, naturally
bright and can make good reports. We can say
all this about Beulah and more but we haven't
room.

Chorus 4; \. W. C. A. 4; Red and
White, and Annual Staff 4.

mischief is hid in a woman.” We know, how-
ever, that there’s music in her soul for she has
long been prominent in chorus.
Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4.
NELLE COCHRAN
Here’s a young miss that is pretty nearly im-
possible to explain. She’s ‘’just awfully busy”—
Y. W., Literatae, 'n' everything. They say
"Nellie” mails twenty-five letters a week. In
another year she'll be needing a private sec-
retary.

Football 4; Rifle Club 4; Hi Y Club 3.
CECIL DANIELS
Noted for his speed and ability in class basket

Hi Y 3, 4, Secretary 4; Class Basket
Ball 3, 4.
ISABEL DAVIS

W. C. A. 1, 2.

College—S. U. I.
PHILIP ENGLERT
A perfect gentleman in all things, a consci-
entious worker, and a manly fellow.
Radio Club 4.
ELIZABETH ENSIGN
Goldsmith said that the loud laugh speaks of
the vacant mind. “Lizzie” has the laugh all
right, but from outward appearances her mind
is not at all vacant, for if she isn’t thinking
about her many high school activities she is
turning over something about university.

Play 3; Hi Y 2; Military Company 2.
SPENCER FOOTE
Here is the declamatory contestant who repre-
sented us at Davenport last year. Spencer’s in-
clination is toward quiet ami solitude, perhaps
because his mind is always at work on some-
thing important.
Entered from Colesburg High School 3;
Rifle Club 3; Iowa Nine Declamatory
Contest 3.
LILY GARDNER
That’s Lily collecting the slips the first period.
She is one of our out-of-town students—residing
in Tiffin. You remember those good looking
posters Literatae has had all year; well, those
were made by Lily, so you see that she has a
great deal of artistic ability.
Entered from B. II. S., Benkelman, Ne-
braska; Literatae 3, 4; Basket Ball 3;

EARL GLASPEY

place as a gentleman farmer. As a faithful
supporter of all school sports, he is always will-
ing to do anything in his power to help a good
cause.
Debating Club 3; Radio Club 4; Rifle

KENNETH GRIFFIN
Kenneth Edward Griffin (and please don't
forget the Edward) is one of the busiest men in
the Senior Class. Just look at his pedigree, and
see what he has done. He’ll probably be a pri-
vate secretary when he grows up, for he is tak-
ing a secretarial course at the U. Hi, besides his
regular work here. Even though he is so busy,
he has time to hold down the position of State
Secretary for the Hi Y.

With her rosy cheeks, her big brown eyes,
Her smile, and voice so clear,
Her lively walk, her merry talk,
“Orie” brings good cheer.
Chorus 3, 4; College—Irish’s Business

AGNES HEINSIUS
Agnes is a jolly girl
Who has a quiet way,
She’s taking normal training course,
Hoping to teach some day.
Entered from Solon High School 1917;
Chorus 4; Y. W. C. A. 4.
NORA HELM
No, you mustn’t judge Nora by -what she has
to say! This unpretentious Senior isn’t much of
a talker, but she simply lets her work speak for
itsel f.
Chorus 2.
NELLIE HEMSTED
Nellie is preparing to be a teacher and a good
one she will make if she meets with the same
success as has been hers in I. C. H. S.

Clara is a serious girl,
She studies hard and well,
And even time that she recites
She has something worth while to tell.

Sit up and take notice, people! Ruth is here,
bright eyes, merry smile, and all that makes her
dear to us.
Entered from Urbana High School,

U. I.
OTTO JIRAVA
This big boy is one of the ‘‘silent” members of
our class. He plays football and basket ball and
surely is an athlete. In addition to this he had
unusual ability in the artistic line, as is shown
by the numerous cartoons that are executed by
him. Just look in one of his books for proof!
Class Basket Ball 1, 4; Rifle Club 3, 4;
Football 4; Military Training 2.
MARY KELLEHER
A quiet, but jolly, girl who has taken an ac-
tive part in the affairs of Alpha and Literatae.
She is a good sport too, as her friends testify.
Alpha 1, 2; Literatae 3, 4.
NEVA KESSLER
"I love tranquil solitude and such society as is
quiet, wise, and good.” This is the motto which
has won for Neva an enviable reputation.
ESMA KISER
Here’s one of a friendship society composed of
Esma and her cousin Leia. Esina is more often
seen than heard, but her quiet smile and sweet
disposition have won her much admiration in
1. C. H. S.
Y. W. C. A. 1, 4; Alpha 2; Literatae 4;

LELA KISER
And here’s the other! If you find one of the
Kisers the other is sure to be within the radius
of a few steps. They say opposites attract each
other, but it would be difficult to find two girls
better matched in cheer and friendliness than
these.
Y. W. C. A. 1, 4; Alpha 2; Chorus 3;
Literatae 4; College—Drake.
CLIFFORD KOSER
“A small but mighty man is he.” His eagle
eye and fine intellectual abilities are such that
they may be admired by any high school boy.
Class Basket Ball 3; Rifle Club 2.
VERA KOSER
The little girl from the little “city”! We
wonder if she can not get through on half fare
on the interurban. She is so quiet that no one
would suspect her sense of humor unless he had
seen her in the Senior Play as the Swedish maid,
where she certainly made us laugh.
Alpha 1, 2; Y. W. C. A. 1, 2; Girls’

BERTHA KOLAR
“Sincere and true,
I strive in all my best to do.”
Bertha not only selects a motto, but she lives
up to it both in her lessons and as a supporter
of all school activities.
Alpha 2; Chorus 3, 4.
MARGARET LEHMAN
"It is truly said, what she learns sticks in her
head,” and this isn’t a little either. We are sur-
prised at the capacity of some of the heads of
our seniors.
ROBERT LEINBAUGH
Our Bob a mighty man is he,
With head as well as hands,
And on the all-State football team
As tackle, left, he stands.
Football 3, 4, Captain 4; Basket Ball 4.
IRENE LINDER
Here's one of our high and noble Seniors, who,
by her size, might be mistaken for a Freshman
—but, notwithstanding this, “Splinter” Linder
is a good scout and, you know, good things al-
ways come in small packages.
Alpha 1, 2.
MARGARET LUCAS
Studious and quiet,
Never absent a day,
A most charming lassie.
I’ll venture to say.
Alpha 1, 2; University—S. U. I.
helen McChesney
This accomplished young lady has a faculty
for doing many things. One important fact not
included in her list of activities is that she is
an expert automobile rough rider. This does
not affect her lovely disposition and tactful ways.

Class History
1 he clay is over! 1 he conquest is successful. The class of 1919 has gone over the top.
charged into No Man's Land, and carried the offensive to a triumphant close. Four years of
struggles have put them under severe trials, hut shelled and fired upon as their ranks have been,
they have faced the hardships with Spartan fortitude and have unflinchingly stood the test.
English and Mathematics have been completely mastered. Physics and History conquered. The
last line of defense of the High School course has been broken and the final onslaught of the
Class of 1919 will be written on the records as an achievement of great importance.
Our first serious problems have been met and solved. Greater and more important problems
are surely ahead of us. But for the present, let us be contented that the class of 1919 has done
its part admirably well. Four years of training and experience have made of its members a
body of broad-minded, courageous \oung men and women, strong in conviction and determined
to carry on through thick and thin despite adversities, discouragements, and defeats.
At this hour of triumph and rejoicing it is but fitting to review some of the important events
and achievements which combined to place the class upon a point of eminence in the annals of
I. C. IL S.
On the thirteenth day of September, 1915, a crowd of boys and girls from all parts of Iowa
City and its vicinity assembled at the High School building and pledged themselves to do all in
their power toward making rapid progress in the intellectual activities of that institution.
Out of this representative body, under auspicious circumstances, the class of 1919 was formed.
Early in the school year this class proved to the other students of the school that they were an
unusual group. Our first successful achievement was to have a class party, a thing which was
entirely original and untried. But even under these conditions it was made an overwhelming
success, showing that this rapidly advancing class had already bestowed its greenness upon its
successors.
Our second year was no less eventful. In spite of the physical weakness of most of our
members, we had already placed a man on the athletic field. Lyle Brigham was our representative and he certainly showed the stuff of which the class was made. He was not quite
fortunate enough to receive a monogram but of course this was because of his being an under-
classman. Had he been a Senior at this time he might have been captain of the team. Again in
this year we had a class party in which we proved that we had entered society as regular
members.
With the passing of another year, we had become Juniors with all of the self-confidence which
is typical of that class. We elected Richard Young to guide us through our vicissitudes during
the school year. Naturally, as \\e grew in popularity and our ranks became thinner, we took our
place upon the football field as well as the basket ball floor. We brought forth an unusually
fine but small group of athletes. Lyle Brigham represented the class on the football and also the
basket ball teams, this time being a monogram man in both cases. We also had a famous track
man, Eric Wilson, who won honor for the school. Again in the rifle team we were represented
by Harold Harmon, the champion shooter of the United States. The class of '19 has excelled
all other classes in their forensic abilities as we have produced a brilliant group of orators.
Walter Dehner, Kenneth Griffin, and Lyle Brigham represented our class on the debating teams.
Spencer Foote and Inez Pillars stood as the class deciaimers and also won honor for the school.
But we must not forget to mention the success of the Junior play and, greatest of all, the Junior-
Senior ball. Some of the well known stars that took part in the play were Gwendolyn Presson,
William Nelson, Eugene Hunter, Lyle Brigham, Richard McGovney, Richard Young, Elizabeth
Ensign, and Isabel Davis. At the Junior-Senior we entertained the class of 'IS most royally and,
of course, left a good impression upon them as they passed from our sight.
But this year passed and we came to the time to which we were so patiently looking forward.
Here, again, we furnished some famous athletes such as Brigham and I'mlandt on the football
and basket ball teams, Wilson as a track man and Daniels also on the football team. However,
it seems that our interest was directed mostly toward forensic work. Marjorie Meardon won
second place in the girls’ declamatory contest at Ottumwa, and Arthur Umlandt won third in
the boys' declamatory contest at Oskaloosa. Our negative debating team, composed of Dehner,
Griffin, and Sladek, defeated Oskaloosa by a unanimous decision of 3 to 0. Merton Memler
was the leader of the affirmative debating team. Walter Dehner represented our class and
school at the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. Our Senior Play was an achievement which
has never been equaled and we need not hesitate to place ourselves among the all-famous stars of
any of the other classes in the state. Some of the play cast were Lyle Brigham, Gwendolyn
Presson, Richard Young, Inez Pillars, Isabel Davis, Richard McGovney, Vera Koser, and
William Nelson.
Ours has certainly been a magnificent record. We consider that the present under-classmen
will have a splendid model to follow and they will have to make rapid strides if they wish to
come up to this ideal in forensics, athletics, or scholarship. This honored class of 1919 will long
be remembered in I. C. II. S. for it stands to reason that such bright and shining lights will not
soon be dimmed by the passage of years.

Football Summary 1918
-At the opening ol the season more than forty boys reported for practice and all
available suits were put in use. Five monogram men of last year were out: Leinbaugh,
Kauffman, John Hedges, Brigham, and Hay. We had just ten days in which to
whip the green material into shape for the first game, but with the work of Coach
Voigt and his asistant, Air. I wogood, the team was in fairly good condition.
1 he season was opened at Aloline and although our team met a heavier and more
experienced team, we had “ 1 he Old Fight”. .A technical error on our part gave
Moline the game by one point. The score was 6 to 7.
1 he "Flu” epidemic then broke out and caused great havoc in our team and
prospects, as we had to play the hard games without the usual easier ones. For five
weeks the school was closed, and with most of the boys doing outside work there
was practically no practicing. We were unable to meet Newton, Grinnell, Oskaloosa,
and Cedar Rapids.
Finally school opened again and the team returned to the field. With but five days’
practice we met Davenport here and were defeated 38 to 0.
West Des Moines was next on the schedule, but with the loss of Kauffman and
Brigham our prospects were not as good. Only two of the last year men played this
game, yet the team was able to hold the score 7 to 7 until"the last few minutes of play,
when West Des Moines scored two touchdowns. The final score was 20 to 7.
The last game of the season was to be played with Dubuque on Thanksgiving Day,
but again fate planned otherwise and the day was ushered in with a regular blizzard
which covered the field with sleet and snow, making the game impossible.
Out of a schedule of nine games we were able to play three and those were with
the larger schools. Credie is given Coach Voight for working hard to overcome con-
ditions beyond his control. We are now looking forward to a good season next fall
with no influenza and with most of the squad back. We lose Captain Leinbaugh,
Brigham, Umlandt, Belle, Hotz, and Daniels.

“Ray"
RAY KAUFMAN
Captain-elect, Guard
Weight ISO Pounds
Kaufman, playing the position at guard for
the past two years, was chosen captain for
the coming season. Ray proved to he the
main stay on the right side of the line and
was always able to open up holes in the op-
posing line. During his football career, he
has made an exceptionally fine showing which
makes him worthy of the captaincy. We look
Team
forward to big things from Ray next fall
when he captains our 1919 team.
LYLE BRIGHAM “Brig”
Quarterback
Weight 145 Pounds
"Brig" filled a very difficult position last
fall in piloting a team that was so badly
handicapped by injuries and "flu’’ conditions.
We are sorry to lose him and hope to see
him in action at the University next fall.
JOHN HEDGES "John”
End
Weight 134% Pounds
A hard tackler who always ‘‘delivered the
goods". Moline soon learned not to attempt
to round our right end. John is to be back
with us next fall to help celebrate.
ELMER HAY "Hays”
End
Weight 145 Pounds
An injured knee kept Elmer out of the Mo-
line game. He is a fighter and puts punch
in all of his plays. His only weakness is his
great love for bandages and ‘‘Wintergreen’ .
HARVEY THOMAN "Rosy"
Tackle
Weight 145 Pounds
This being the first year of football for
"Rosy”, he was a little weak in some points,
due to lack of experience. He soon showed
football ability and with this year’s experi-
ence, he should make a sensational player
next year.
GEORGE KOUDELKA "Koude”
Guard
Weight 145 Pounds
While his playing cannot be classed as sen-
sational, “Koude" works consistently and with
two more years to play he should develop
into a classy football player.
ARTHUR UMLANDT "Art”
Fullback
Weight 150 Pounds
“Art” came to us last fall, an entire stran-
ger, but was not long in showing us his
worthiness of a place on the team. When in
condition, he was always able to gain a few
yards, when his signal was called.
KENNETH BELLE "Bud”
End
Weight 145 Pounds
“Bud" plays a hard, nervy game and when-
ever called upon he was there with the “pep"
on getting his man. “Bud" is so exceedingly
fast that they had to put him out of each
play twice before they could land him.
ALBERT HOTZ "Ky”
Quarter
Weight 125 Pounds
What “Ky” lacked in weight he made up
in nerve. His greatest ability was shown
during the West Des Moines game when he
was called.
CECIL DANIELS "Slip”
Half Back
Weight 135 Pounds
Cecil made a good showing in the game he
played. He was called upon when any of the
regulars were "laid out”.
CLYDE SMITH "Smithy”
Tackle
Weight 142 Pounds
This human clothespin is a very hard
worker. With more perseverance and an-
other year’s experience, high-pockets will
make a consistent line man.
REED HEDGES "Reed"
Center
Weight 134 Pounds
Reed is perfectly harmless when not crossed,
but some of the second string boys know what
happens when his "Irish” is stirred. He spe-
cializes in arguing the matter.
LEO SEEMUTH "Lee”
Half Back
Weight 142 Pounds
“Lee” is a very consistent player. He came
out to practice early and stayed late. He is
the best high school punter in the state, aver-
aging better than 55 yards in the Moline
game.
He is some fusser? ? ?
CHARLES THATCHER "Chuck”
Full Back
Weight 142 Pounds
“Chuck” does not know the meaning of
enough and has taken some very severe pun-
ishment at times and always came out with a
smile. With a little more weight, he should
be a regular “battering ram”.
PAUL NOSEK "Pauly”
Half Back
Weight 145 Pounds
"Pauly” was one of those players whose
value was in his steadiness. He was a sure
tackler and always hit his man hard. It is
hard to get a word with Paul, for he is such
a great taikerf?). We feel for him when he
experienced the great grief of falling out with
“Miss Studies”.

Review of the Basket Ball Season 1918-19
I he basket ball season of 1918-1919 was a successful one. Out of the ten scheduled
games, we were able to get away with the long end of the score seven times. We
were defeated twice by Cedar Rapids and once by Davenport. After we were de-
feated by Davenport on their floor, we played them a return game on the local floor
and secured our revenge.
With the return of only one regular from last season, Coach Twogood worked hard
to develop the fine team which we had. The team was light, but they made up for
their weight in great speed, in team work, and fine ability in basket shooting. Captain
Brigham played his second and last year of basket ball for I. C. H. S. He was
always able to chalk up a number of points in our favor. Seemuth, a new man this
year, showed exceptionally good ability in basket shooting. With another year to
play Leo will probably make one of the fastest floor men in the State. John and
Reed Hedges played their first year on the “Five.” Their wonderful defensive work
put the score in our favor a great number of times. The opponents always had a
great time trying to find which of these two was their man. Umlandt, another new
man this year, was able to score in almost every game he entered. His offensive playing
was marked by all who saw him play. The substitutes, McGovncy, Fisk and Wilson,
proved very efficient when they were called upon to fill a position. Their most noted
playing was shown in the Sectional Tournament, when Brigham was unable to go
on account of illness. Wilson and McGovney alternated in filling the position at
center and Fisk played guard position part of the time.
The work in the Marshalltown game exhibited our great defensive and offensive
playing. The game ended a tie, 18 to 18. The teams then played five minutes over
time, neither team scoring. Another five minutes was played. Marshalltown threw
a foul, making the score 19 to 18 against us. During the last minute of play, Umlandt
saved the day by shooting a basket. This left the score 20 to 19 in our favor. Our
great comeback was shown in the final game with Monticello in the Sectional Tourna-
ment when they had us beaten in the first half 16 to 2 and our team came back in
the second half and beat them 10 to 12 leaving the score 26 to 14 against us.
Next year we will see the return of three monogram men, Seemuth, J. Hedges and
R. Hedges and most of the second team, including Kaufman, Thomson, Sidwell, and
Thatcher. With all this material and an abundance of new material which will
turn out, the team will have as good, or probably even better success than we did
this year.

Sectional Tournament
On March 7 and 8, our team attended the invitation meet at Cornell College, Mount
Vernon. Brigham, captain of the team, was unable to make the trip, being confined
to his home on account of illness. McGovney and Wilson, alternately filled the posi-
tion of center, and proved to be quite efficient. The first team we met was Manchester.
They were easily defeated by a score of 30-5. The next game was with Anamosa,
whom we walloped 29-10. Marion was next on the schedule. They also suffered
defeat by a score 25-14. This put us in the finals with Monticello. Monticello,
although a small town, made up for the size of the town by the size of their team.
Their team consisted of five of the largest men at the tournament. Due to their strong
five-man defensive play, they defeated us in the initial period 16-2. Our team got
on to their plays and in the second half, made one of the greatest comebacks of the
season, taking this half 12-10. In spite of this comeback, the Monticello “Giants”
beat us 26-14.

Track Summary
Up to the time of the publication of the Annual this year, only one meet has been run. This
was the Interscholastic Meet which was held May 3rd, on the Iowa Field. The progress during
the season has been quite good and we won eighth place with twenty-one schools competing.
We secured seven points, Wilson winning second in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and Coulter
winning fourth in the shotput.
The track team of last year made a good showing for the number of men entering. In the
dual meet with Cedar Rapids we won six firsts, three seconds, and three thirds, making forty-
four points, while Cedar Rapids secured seventy-three points against us. In the Interscholastic
Meet, we won two seconds and a third which put us in seventh place with fourteen schools com-
peting. In the State Meet at Des Moines, we failed to get a point. Wilson, the only man
qualifying in the preliminaries, was unable to place in the finals.

Basket Ball
COACH E. J. VOIGT
FOOTBALL
Owing to the disastrous situation in the football season last year, Mr. Voigt was
unable to develop such a team as he is capable of developing under normal conditions.
His knowledge ot football is thorough, since he has had wide experience both as a player
and a coach. He secured his football knowledge and ability in Ohio, where he played
center on the Ohio State Team. Before coming to Iowa City, he coached at Anoka,
Minnesota in 1915, where he turned out a championship team.
COACH A. P. TWOGOOD
Due to the absence of Henry C. Souchek, former coach of the Iowa City basket
ball team, serving as a Second Lieutenant in the army, A. P. Twogood, the
manual training instructor, was called upon to act as supply coach. Mr. Twogood
proved to be a very efficient coach in developing a speedy basket ball team. His past
experience, both as a player and as a coach made him worthy of the position. In spite
of the fact of the return of only one veteran from the 1917-18 team, he succeeded in
developing a team which was defeated by only two teams in the state.
Coach T wogood also assisted Mr. Voigt in football, taking care of the second
team.
The Truth About a Great Victory
Our basket ball team had been very successful. We had won every game but two
and those \\ ere lost, not because of a superior team, but because of the floor we play-
ed on. Later in the season we trounced these two teams severely and so came to the
end of a successful season.
1 his year, for some reason, we were sent to Grinnell for the Sectional Tourna-
ment, whereas we had gone to Cedar Rapids before. We arrived in Grinnell on
Friday, the day on which the games began. We were taken to the new dormitories
where we were given rooms with some of the students. After meeting our new
ioommates and leaving our valises we strolled over to the gymnasium to get a view of
the floor.
It was a fine, big floor, well lighted, so the fellows were delighted with the pros-
pect of plenty of room in which to play. Our first game was with Davenport, one
of the teams that had defeated us on their home floor. We went into the game with
a spirit oi revenge and were satisfied with the result because of easily winning by a
top heavy score. In the next game we were even more successful in drawing
Brooklyn, from whom we won very easily with our subs in most of the game.
That afternoon West Liberty was defeated by the huge Sheffield team, but only
after two periods of extra time. That left Sheffield and our team to fight it out for
the championship of that section. When 1 said “huge team" I meant huge in every
sense of the word. They were the largest team of high school players ever seen upon
the Grinnell floor, and doubtless on any other floor. The smallest man was six feet
two in his stocking feet and the rest were as tall and taller. The center was the
largest man I have ever seen outside of a menagerie, being six feet five and a half and
weighing one hundred and ninety pounds. Besides being large, they were expert
shots at the basket, so when we started we looked like a team of midgets against
giants. Their size had a great deal to do with the first half, and it ended fourteen to
five in their favor. We went to our dressing room and sat in silence for we knew what
we were up against and the coach knew we knew, so he didn't say a word. Finally
the captain spoke, “Fellows, we have got to beat that gang, think of the folks at
home, and the boys down there that are expecting us to win and are behind us.
Fellows, we have got to win.” It is impossible to describe what that talk meant or
how he said it, but it hit the right spot and we five fellows solemnly swore to each
other to do or die. The coach made a few comments to the fellows personally and
we went back onto the floor with a determination that we would win in spite of
everything.
The Sheffield team came out on the floor smiling and self-confident. The whistle
blew and the battle began. Never was I in a faster or more hard fought contest than
this. We went so fast that everything seemed in a whirl and with scries of short un-
derhand passes that were too low and too fast for the giants to intercept, we rushed
time after time to the basket, where we found the hoop for a gain. At the end of
ten minutes the Sheffield team were exhausted and called time out to get then-
wind. The score stood seventeen to fourteen in our favor. Twelve points in ten
minutes. We were astonished, we had hoped for this, but were surprised at its sud-
den reality. Sheffield made a brave attack, but were unable to overcome the lead
and the game ended twenty-two to eighteen in our favor. We had won the right to
represent that section at the final tournament to be held at the State University of
Iowa.

The Fuiks Athletic Cup
Each year, Mr. Fuiks, a leading jeweler of Iowa City presents to the High School,
a handsome silver cup, which is given to the graduate having the highest and best
record in both his studies and athletics. This cup is presented on the evening of
graduation, so at the time of the publication of the annual it is impossible to name
this year’s winner.
Last year, however, the honor was so nearly a tie between Otis Darner and
George Kloos, that each deserved a cup. But, in order to be fair to the contestants,
the faculty decided the matter by ballot. The honor went to George Kloos, whose
scholarship was a shade better than his rival’s. “Zip” had a remarkable record, win-
ning six monograms by playing three years on both the football and basket ball teams
and captaining the gridiron squad during his Senior year. He was a leader among
his classmates as well as among the athletic teams and certainly deserved the high hon-
ors of which any High School student could be proud.

CAPTAIN ROBERT LEINBAUGH—“BOB”
Tackle. Weight, 160 lbs.
When our team left for Moline, the first game of the season, they were without
a captain, owing to the absence of Clifford Hirt, who was elected in the previous
year.
Just before the team left for the field they met and elected Bob Leinbaugh, a stellar
guard of the year before. Bob was shifted to the tackle position and from the
time of the first whistle to the last he was found in the thickest oi every play.
At the beginning of the season he played practically the entire left side of the line
when on defense on account of the new men playing their first football. Although
Bob was handicapped by playing with a green team and one that the “Hu” interfered
seriously with its development, his playing in the three games was of such a high
standard that he was placed on the all-state team by one of the leading sport critics
in the state. His pleasing disposition and good fellowship among his team mates
made him an ideal captain.

The debating spirit of the school received a loyal and needed boost by the students
this year, due partly to the unusual success of other forensic activities. The greater
share of credit, however, belongs to Mr. Mahon, one of the best coaches we have
ever had, and to the teams themselves, who displayed more than ordinary ability.
Consequently our debaters were of extraordinary type, and although we were not
represented in the final debates our representatives can be ranked among the best in
the state.
1 wo debates were held under the auspices of the Iowa Nine Association. Oska-
loosa suffered a decisive defeat by a 3 to 0 decision, which was splendidly executed by
our Negative team consisting of Frank Sladek. Kenneth Griffin and Walter
Dehner.
The affirmative team members—Joe Bettag, Paul Rankin, and Merton Mender
lost to the Grinnell team by a narrow margin of two-thirds of a percent in the
judges’ rating, the decision being 2 to 1.
As to the debating club itself we are proud to say, because of the excellent prac-
tice received each week in forensic art. every team member was an active member of
the club. Every 1 hursday evening interesting and instructive programs were rend-
ered, and regular business sessions always followed. The roll call included about
thirty of the most promising students.
The officers for the last semester were President, Richard McGovney; Vice Presi-
dent, Merwyn Bridenstine, and Walter Dehner, Secretary and Treasurer.

At the initial meeting of the Rifle Club, Clyde Smith was unanimously re-elect-
ed I icsident, and Robeit Whiteis was chosen to perform the duties of Secretary for
the cm rent year. Preliminary practice got under way earlier than usual, and about
seventy-five men appeared for the tryouts. After a long process of elimination only
thirty-five remained, from which the permanent squad and team were picked by
Coach Dondorc, a former high school shot, to whom much credit is due for his ef-
forts in building up a strong team.
Lyle Brigh am shot on the championship team last year, and again accomplished
some unusual results. Clyde Smith, last year’s captain, was doing excellent work un-
til outside work took up so much of his time that he was forced to withdraw from
the club. Richard Schump, a new man, started in like a whirlwind, keeping above
par throughout the season. After constantly plugging away for two years, trying to
make the team, Frank Riley was rewarded for his untiring efforts with the coveted
position of a team member. Frank is to be congratulated on his success in making an
enviable record for himself. Another new man, Earl Glaspey, has been shooting
admirably and will no doubt end the year with a high average to his credit. Robert
Whiteis distinguished himself this year by becoming one of our best shots, and as he has
two more years at high school he will undoubtedly develop into an expert shot dur-
ing his 1. C. H. S. career. Clell Boyd, a Des Moines crack, added many a point,
which helped to make a good respectable total for each match. Shooting in his first
N. R. A. Tournament, Ira Sorenson performed admirably. Although Morton
Alumina made no notable scores this season, his work has been diligent and persevering.
He has the ability of becoming a capable marksman, and on his return next year,
we are expecting big things of him.
Up to the present time, the team has been successful in maintaining a high
standard. Davenport High was defeated in the first two practice matches in the
early part of the season, and then I. C. H. S. entered the N. R. A. Fournament
with one veteran and seven new men. .At present they have completed the fifth shoot
and have brought the Red and White up to fourth place in the national standing.
In view of the fact that Riley, Whiteis, Alumina, and Smith will be back as a
nucleus for the 1920 team, success is again anticipated. Since we have held the Astor
Cup six times in nine years, and the National Trophy four out of six years, we hope
to add another year’s possession to these enviable prizes.

Literatae started early this year before the first “flu” vacation. The society was
the first of the various societies to organize. The following officers were elected at
the first meeting: President, Margaret DeNio; Vice President, Helen McChesney;
Secretary, Edna Sha.lla; and Treasurer, Lorena Nelson. These girls served ef-
ficiently the first semester.
Last year Literatae raised enough money to buy a Liberty Bond. This was sold
and the money obtained went to help fit up the Red Cross room in the basement.
This year the society undertook to raise the money to buy the monogram sweaters
for the football boys. By putting on the farce, “The Economical Boomerang”, in
which three Literatae girls took part, Majorie Meardon, Elizabeth Ensign, and
Marguerite Lenda, assisted by Richard Voung, Arthur Umlandt, and Chris Dondore,
togethei with other feature entertainments, enough money was raised for the sweaters.
The officers elected for the second semester were: Inez Pillars, Gwendolyn
Presson, Gladys Hamilton and Lorena Nelson. Edith Buck and Edith Stevens serv-
ed as Sergeants at Arms during the entire year.
Literatae has given some very good programs this year, thanks to the co-operation
of the piogram committee, the society, and Miss Churchill. The members of the
program committee were Lily Gardner, Marjorie Meardon, and Salome Fisher.
A large amount of credit for the successful work of Literatae is due to Muss
Churchill, who has kept up the interest, and she has really been the back bone of the
societv.

Y. W. C. A.
As was the case with most of the high school organizations this year, the Y. W. C. A. had
many difficulties, due to “flu" vacations, to overcome. In September the vear was begun with
a great deal of enthusiasm and interest. Early in that month a big party' was held in the
gym. About one hundred and fifty girls were present. However, the “pep” that was noticeable
at that party was not all available for the Y. W. for about a week later school closed and
all meetings were prohibited. When school took up again, the Y. W. managed to have one
meeting before the next vacation. So the fall passed without much achievement.
1 he first real work of the year was done at Christmas time, when the Service Committee,
as is the custom, took a basket of food to each poor family in town.
After the Christmas vacation work was carried on regularlv. Meetings were held alternate
Tuesdays throughout the rest of the school year. An attempt was made to vary the meetings
in order that they might better meet the needs of the high school girl’s life. The last meeting
of the year was a picnic on Saunder’s hill. At that time the cabinet for next vear was an-
nounced :
Viola Lake ........................................ President
Helex Shrader .............................. Vice President
Melba Carpenter .................................. Treasurer
................................
Ora Goodeli....................................... Secretary
Marion Bliss ...............Chairman of Program Committee
Esther Yetter ................Chairman of Social Committee
Ruth Bachteli...............Chairman of Service Committee
With these officers the work should indeed go forward very successfully.

The booming success of the High Y Club this year was somewhat retarded by sev-
eral unavoidable hindrances. The “Hu” epidemic retarded the progress of the club, as
was the case with several other organizations. After being re-organized, a convenient
meeting place could not be had, until the gym was granted to the boys for use every
Tuesday night. The club started earnestly and gained headway rapidly. Prom-
inent business and college men gave helpful, interesting talks, which were much ap-
preciated. Following the weekly meetings, recreation at the gymnasium was en-
joyed by every member.
Probably the biggest event was the attendance of five of our delegates to the
South-eastern Iowa Boys’ Conference. They were: Leonard Chihak, Eugene Hunter,
Kenneth Griffin. Robert Seashore, and Richard Young. As a result of this conven-
tion. two hundred and fifty boys took back to over thirty high schools some of the
best pep and knowledge to be gained. Our delegates reported the trip a success from
every angle, and especially because of the fact that Kenneth Griffin was elected Sec-
retary of the Conference.
As was the case last summer, several of the members are planning to represent us
at the annual Y. M. C. A. Camp Foster at Lake Okoboji.
From the spirit displayed this spring, next year’s club promises to be an even great-
er success.

The musical organizations have grown remarkably. They, too, were very much
hampered by the prolonged vacation, before Christmas, but since the first of the year,
have doubled their rehearsals and finally reached a point where they felt that their extra
efforts had proved successful.
1 he Chorus was large, consisting of one hundred and thirty-six members. 1 hey
have worked with enthusiasm and interest on rather difficult selections, and have
used many camp songs as relaxation. Chorus work this year has done much toward
the stimulation and increase of a High School musical spirit.
T he Orchestra was not very large, nor was it quite representative of a High School
of this size, but what it lacked in quantity surely was made up in quality. The mem-
bers were faithful about attendance of the weekly meetings. A short, but fine, dem-
onstration of their work was given in assembly in April. The Orchestra also furnish-
ed the music for the Senior play and the Commencement Exercises.
The Girls’ Glee Club has done excellent work from the start.
1 he Boys Glee Club increased in membership at the beginning of the second se-
mester through the efforts of several interested members. The boys are to be especially
commended for their diligent work in “The Maid and the Middy”, the operetta given
in connection with the Girls’ Glee Club on May fifteenth.
1 he opeietta deseives special mention. The plot was an amusing story, full of
snappy, brilliant music and a variety of captivating dances, the latter under the cap-
able direction of Miss McCredie. A splendid opportunity was thus afforded to dis-
play the talent and ability of the Glee Clubs, which reflected the careful training by
Miss Baldwin, to whom the greater share of the credit for the brilliant musical suc-
cesses of this year must be given.

The Big “9” Association
More than usual interest in forensic work has been displayed by the Iowa City
High School students this year. The tryouts for the boys’ and girls’ declamatory con-
tests were held in December and competition was unusually keen. Arthur Umlandt
was chosen as our representative at Oskaloosa on January the seventeenth. He was
trained by Mr. Mahan, and gave the reading, “The Signing of the Declaration of In-
dependence,” doing very creditable work. The results at Oskaloosa were: Oska-
loosa first. Grinnell second, and Iowa City third. Marjorie Meardon, coached by Miss
Hatcher, of the University, met the contestants from eight other schools at Ottumwa
on February the fourteenth, and captured second place with the selection, “For
France”; Ottumwa winning first honors and Oskaloosa third. Both Marjorie and
Arthur certainly did good work and we are proud of them.
At the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, held here April 25, eight schools were
represented. Five of the contestants had taken part in one held last year. Neverthe-
less, Walter Dehner, who represented Iowa City, won fourth place by delivering a very
strong speech on “Italy’s Claims At the Peace Conference”. The decision of the
judges awarded Ottumwa first place, Grinnell second, and Davenport third.
B he purpose of the Big “9” Association is to hold declamatory and extemporan-
eous speaking contests and tri-angular debates. The members of it are Burlington,
Ottumwa, Davenport, Oskaloosa, Fairfield, Muscatine, Grinnell, Iowa City, and
Clinton. B he officers are: A. E. Keiber, President; George G. Wise, Vice-President;
and W. E. Beck, Secretary and Treasurer.

Due to strict government regulations forbidding the operation of amateur wire-
less stations, our Radio Club was greatly handicapped in its work during the last two
years. But in spite of this fact, unusual interest was shown on the part of the mem-
bers in the club’s limited activities. Electrical theories, recent wireless inventions, and
general discussions dealing with radio progress were studied and reported on by the
members at the weekly meetings.
Due to new methods of code practice similar to that given in the regular Signal
Corps training, several of the boys, girls, and faculty members became quite profici-
ent in deciphering the dots and dashes, and in sending messages. Although actual
wireless communications was impossible, the students thoroughly acquainted them-
selves with the apparatus and operation of a modern station.
Since peace is now assured, it seems probable that the government ban will soon be
lifted and our instruments will be installed again.
Senior Play

Acting with all the skill of a Broadway cast, the Senior class presented George
Broadhurst’s famous farce comedy, “What Happened to Jones” at the Englert, April
30. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce E. Mahan, the play was staged with an ex-
cellence rarely seen in an amateur production. Every part was played with genuine
dramatic skill as the following plot unfolded:
"While waiting for his brother, the Bishop of Ballaret, to arrive on a visit from
Australia, Ebenezer Goodly is persuaded by his son-in-law, Richard, to go to a prize
fight. When the place is raided by the police, Jones, a traveling salesman, takes refuge
with the Professor and Richard as they escape to the Goodly home. To avoid arrest,
Jones puts on a new suit of clerical clothes ordered for the bishop and is mistaken by
the family for the real bishop. Meanwhile the bishop himself arrives and is mistaken
for a patient who has escaped from the sanitorium next door. Situation after situa-
tion follows, each full of comedy. Jones finally extricates himself from the tangle by
the help of Cissy, the Professor’s ward.
Having won a reputation as Thespians of ability in their Junior play, the Sen-
iors in their final offering won still greater praise and laurels.
Junior Play

As an artistic and financial success, the Junior class play, “A Strenuous Life,” by Richard W.
Tully has had few equals and no superiors in the history of dramatics at the I. C. II. S.
Tom Harrington, the leading character, is Captain of the University of California’s football
team, who has been neglecting his school work. At the opening of the play, when he is about
to be disciplined by the faculty for his short coinings, he receives a note from his father saying
that he is about to visit his son and see how well he has been doing. Toni’s chum, Reginald
Black, evolves a great plan to dress some one up to look like a professor and have that person
tell Tom’s father that his son is a fine student. They impress a freshman for this purpose, but
unfortunately the name chosen for him is the name of the new professor expected to arrive
from Stanford who soon appears on the scene. Tom is compelled to introduce Professor James
as a freshman and then the fun starts. At the same time, a girl to whom Tom has made love
the night before in San Francisco turns up and is enmeshed in the general tangle. Finally,
Tom is cornered and is saved by the Japanese servant girl who can say nothing but “yis”,
and who thus backs up Tom's assertion.
Mr. Bruce E. Mahan who has had several years experience in dramatic work, directed the play
in such a manner that it had all the qualities of a professional production.
War Activities
Since the annual of last year was issued, we have taken part in new war activities as well
as continuing the old ones.
There are organizations which are purely High School, and others in which the majority of
the members are High School students.
The girl scout society has all except one of its members in I. C. H. S. Each one of the girls
owns at least two dollars worth of Thrift Stamps. They helped in the fourth Liberty Loan
by addressing envelopes. For the Wool survey and United War Drive, the girls delivei.cc.
posters. When the teachers sold Liberty Posters and Thrift Stamps, the scouts purchased them
up town and brought them to school to the teachers. Some of the girls worked in the Red Cross
rooms, others knitted sweaters, socks, and helmets. Each girl made candy and sold it in school
to earn money for her Victory Girl pledge.
Johnson county was divided into districts and several of our students visited the various schools
in these districts giving four minute speeches in regard to the Victory Boys and Girls. Iowa
City was divided into wards; a captain was appointed for each with lieutenants and sergeants
under them. These officers were all High School boys and girls. It was the duty of the
officers to collect the money which was pledged and earned by the boys and girls between the
ages of twelve and twenty. Miss Buckner was supervisor for the girls and Mr. Goodell for the
boys, the whole was under the Loyalty League.
We had a Red Cross drive in High School again this year and three hundred and twenty-five
joined making $81.25 to give over to the Red Cross. Eleven rooms of I. C. II. S. were 100%
and these rooms were awarded banners which were hung on the doors.
A Boys' Working Reserve was organized again this year. About fifty boys enrolled and
will go on farms as soon as school is out. Last year, they went before school was out. This
year, they will not for two reasons. First, because of such a long quarantine, and second,
because help is not needed so badly since so many soldiers have returned.
Most war activities were hindered and interrupted because of the “flu”, but I. C. H. S. has
certainly done a great deal toward helping the great cause.
Assemblies
Our weekly assemblies this year, which were largely of a patriotic type, were exceptionally
good. During the first semester the work of the Junior Loyalty League was placed before the
student body by M.ss Buckner and Professor Goodell; and our former teacher, Miss Hastings
on the same occasion, urged us to support the Iowa Patriotic League. Several prominent people
entertamed us with accounts of their experiences in connection with war work and bv interp-e-
tation of important current topics. Professor Plum of S. U. I. gave us a clear explanation of
the League of Nations, and Pean Russell addressed us on his experience in Russia during the
war.
Of unusual interest was a talk given by Joseph Richards, a sixteen year old veteran of the
world war. He told us about his adventures from the time of his capture bv the Germans up
to his discharge and return to America with Captain Yenter of Oxford, Iowa, with whom
he is to make his home.
Besides these Col. Mumma discussed after the war problems; Miss McRaith, Camp Dodge
librarian, told about her work at the convalescent hospital. Lieutenant Souchek and Lieutenant
Foster, two of our honored faculty members in service, spoke to us regarding army life as they
knew it. Professor Lambert of S. I . 1. furnished us with interesting information, and on
Lincoln’s birthday, we were entertained by a reading given bv Professor Merrv.
Probably the greatest demonstration of patriotism was shown at an assembly called on the
morning of the signing of the armistice. Patriotic songs were sung, a big mass meeting took
place, and hilarity reigned until school was dismissed for the day.
As usual, “pep” meetings were held throughout the short football and basket ball seasons.
Doctor Chase and many of our faculty members gave advice, Consoling talks, etc. as to an-
ticipation and results of our athletic games. Of course, members of the teams were called upon
to give talks to the school.
Forensics held a high place in the school spirit this year, aided thus by the assemblies. The
debating teams demonstrated their ability in short talks regarding their work in the contests.
The two representatives, Marjorie Meardon and Arthur Vmlandt, gave their respective selec-
tions which they rendered in the declamatory contests.
Several times during the year we were entertained by musical presentations; a cornet solo
given by Ralph Puckett, some vocal pieces by Mrs. Lawyer, and some selections by our orchestra.
There was community singing by the student body which took place at each meeting that
furnished us much enjoyment.
The best, most humorous, and probably the most popular entertainment of all was put on by
the graduation class on Senior Class Day when a burlesque minstrel show was successfully
staged.
Social Season
There have been some gay times in the old Gym this year. Instead of our accustomed football
and basketball mixers the school entertainment has been in the form of High School parties,
held on alternate Saturday nights, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Because of the flu,
and the consequent restriction on social gatherings, the social side of our education was sadly-
neglected for many weeks, but when the ban was lifted we had the same peppy parties as
before.
Beside the regular High School parties, the different classes have had parties, to which
evervone was invited, being in the form of mixers. Alpha and Literatae initiation parties,
as well as Y. W. and Hi Y. mixers were held. The Hi Y. stag was a howling success, accord-
ing to ‘Scout’, who seems to think that boys can have a better time alone than with girls
hanging around.
If it hadn’t been for the mixers and other things, some of the girls probably would not have
earned their victory girl monev, for they sold candy at the Gym on the nights of parties. AH
through the year, loud, conspicuous signs filled the halls: “Get your date now for that next
High School Party” “Hurry up! She’ll have a date for the Junior-Senior.”
The Cafeteria
The cafeteria started February tenth, nineteen nineteen. During the first two weeks Miss
Leinbaugh s class in foods prepared the lunches. At the beginning of the second semester a special
class was organized for this purpose with Miss Leinbaugh as the teacher.
The course was called Institutional Cooking and rightly so because the preparation of food
for the Cafeteria is the chief work of the class. T his is a daily task so there is little if any
time lelt for discussion and study of the food materials.
The lunch room is located in the basement of the High School building and is equipped
with all up-to-date equipment which was purchased from the S. A. T. C. cafeteria kitchen.
So far the menus have cci sistcd of scups, as vegetable, noodle, ovster, and the x'arious
cream soups; sandwiches, scalloped dishes; meat, salads; cocoa; milk; and desserts such as
ice cream, pie, puddings, and gelatin dishes.
Twelve girls are registered for the course.
f he rush at twelve o deck and especially during February and March made it necessary
to have six people to help with the work during the noon hour.
So far the cafeteria is self-supporting and very popular.
MISS STAHL
Our High School is certainly entitled to a feeling
of pride when xve think of the course in personal
hygiene Miss Stahl has been presenting to the Sen-
ior girls. This course has been most interesting
and instructive to every girl who has had the
privilege of taking it. Moreover, we have the
honor of being one of the very first high schools
in the United States in which such a course has
been presented.
Our Red Cross or Emergency room in Room 12
is also a source of great comfort and pride. This
room is very daintily and tastily furnished with
nice rugs, curtains, upholstered rocker and beautiful
white enameled medicine cabinet, which is filled
xvith a number of different kinds of bandages,
ointments, basins, hot water bottles and ice bags,
in fact, everything necessary for any emergency.
We feel most grateful to the LH-ratae Society
of 1917-18 for the donation of ’’’:s '-abmet and
the rocker, and to the class of 1918 for the dona-
tion xvith which xve were able to furnish the room.
Since the opening of the Red Cross room Miss
Stahl has treated from forty to sixty pupils every
week for minor emergencies or ills, such as cuts,
burns, sprains, headaches, infections, etc. She has been able to detect symptoms of three
mastoid cases, five appendicitis, and some forty or fifty cases of defective vision that hax e
been referred to their family physician and properly treated.
Next year we are in hopes that Miss Stahl may have an assistant to help her with
routine work in the grades, so that she will have more time to dexote to class xvork in
High School.

Camp Fire
The work and ideals of Camp Fire Girls had its origin in the home. To summarize these
ideals, they are: seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to'health
glorify work, and be happy. I o give service in the complex relations of modern life is the
highest, hardest, and most complicated art there is. There is a great deal of knowledge that
we learn as a matter of course, but there is much knowledge that we need to pursue. To glorify
work is a distinctly American idea. By work we achieve success. Happiness is like the sunshine
in which precious things grow, and should dwell abundantly in the human life.
Iowa City has two groups, Hitalo Camp and Cheoga Camp. During the past year the girls
have done Red Cross work, and distributed literature throughout the residential part of the citv
for the United War Work Campaign.
Cheoga Camp earned sufficient money, individually, to proclaim each member a Victory Girl.
Plans are now being made by Hitalo Camp for definite work for poor mountaineers in Ken-
tucky. Clothing, pictures, games, etc., will be collected and a barrel sent.
The social life of Camp Fire Girls is an important factor. There develops a self-confidence in
the endurance of inconvenience and often hardships; there is a deep love for the out-of-doors;
and there is the joy and exhilaration of comradeship generated by sharing pleasures and con-
quering difficulties together. Last summer the girls camped a week, and plan a similar outing
this summer. The membership of the camps is as follows:
Zella HITALO Bates, Guardian CHEOGA Mrs. W. C. Schafer, Guardian
Gladys Williamson Mildred Schump Eleanor Wade Marion Ansel
Avis Roegler Regina Dalton Melba Carpenter Helen Starbuck
Gertrude Yoder Pearl Pieper Sarah Cox Helen Wylie
Ruth Benson Mildred Rinehart Charlotte Fisk Wilhelmina Grimm
Frances Dalton Luberta Stone Myra Kane Viola Lake
Lois Bridenstine Marjory Bolon
Girl Scouts
The organization of Girl Scouts was effected in Iowa City in April, 1916, the object being to
promote the twelve scout laws: 1 ruth, Loyalty, Helpfulness, Friendliness, Courtesy, Kindness,
Obedience, Cheerfulness, Purity, Thrift, Reverence, and Courage. At present there are three
troops here, with twentv-four girls in each troop. Phese meet once a week to practice drilling,
and scout craft. Picnics and hikes are enjoyed frequently and a week or more of camping during
summer vacation.
This year the girls have been active in war work, helping with the wool survey, sugar reports,
Liberty Loans, Thrift Stamp drive, United War Work drive, and Red Cross work. Troop one
has adopted a French orphan for one year.

Ode to Robert Browning
He is so deep, deep, deep,
He is deeper than I can get.
So deep, deep, deep,
I can’t understand him vet.
Deep as a summer night
When the sky is overcast,
Deep as a dark cold winter night
A-shivering in the blast,
Deep as the dark blue ocean,
Deep as a northern sea,
He is so deep and the road so steep
I know not how deep he be.
It isn’t as though he doesn’t write enough,
For he always has length to his poem;
His words seem inclined never to mind,
They all have a longing to roam.
1 give him up with regret,
His thoughts I can never forget.
Though his words are a jumble,
His thoughts all a tumble,
They impress themselves on me yet.
H. E. ’IS.
Just a Barrel Full
“Duke’ King, congenial young reporter for the ‘‘Odessa News”, ran lightly up the steps of
Old Judge Nevers’ house and a trifle too energetically rang the bell. Almost before the sound
had died away, a blushing young lady opened the door. She clutched the hand of the young
man, just as he was about to ring the bell again.
Oh, Duke, don t, you II wake Daddy, and you know how cross he is when anyone awakes
him, and especially you.”
Gee! Y ou re awfully careful of your old tyrant,” Duke laughingly protested, meanwhile
securing both her hands in his. “Anyway, Ruth, I don’t sec why he should single me out as an
object for his wrath,” he added petulantly.
Oh, it s not you, it’s your work, or rather the paper you work for that he doesn’t like. Y ou
know that.”
Work or no work, what s that got to do with it?” hotly demanded the young man.
Oh, well, I guess if some mean paper had cheated you out of a perfectly good office, as yours
has done Dad, you would be mad too,” she returned, loyally.
J>ro^aJ’L' Oh, hang it all! that's not what 1 came for. You’re going for a spin, aren’t you?’
“Yes, if you promise to bring me back in an hour. I’ll have to get Daddy some lunch before
he goes to the office. 1’11 get my cape.”
h°me JU^RC Nevers was a little distant from the thriving village of Odessa, Oklahoma.
Although the well-to-do judge owned or controlled most of the business of the town, he preferred
t'V ?n> ^i*S S.ma^ ranch- He had first bought the place with an eve toward finding oil on it,
and had indeed drilled several wells, but had not been so fortunate as some of his neighbors,
who had regularly flowing wells.
The judge was sitting on the wide veranda talking m .
numerous positions of chauffeur to the judge, and of gardener and 7’ ' C ma" "ho filIed ,he

..Ha. Mias Traitor,” called out the judge sternly, but with a twinkle in hi, gray eve, -you

Johnson grinned appreciatively and departed for the garage ’ ‘ ’
The young people came up the steps slowly, the judge meanwhile eyeing them quizzically
Suddenly a more determined look came tnto Duke', lace, and he crossed the porch toward tie
older man, saying:
“Er—Judge—Mr. Nevers, I love Ruth, and have asked her to marry me, but-er-she savs vou
wouldn’t have a—er—a representative of the “News” in vour family. ’ '
The judge watched him through and then remarked drily: “You seem to have the situation
well in mind, I see. There seems to be only one solution to your problem.”
“And that?” eagerly asked the young fellow.
“Get another job.”
“Get another job!” exploded the amazed Duke, as if no thought was farther from his mind.
"Surely you don’t mean that?”
“Sure,” rejoined the judge, rising from his chair as if he considered the matter ended. Then
turning to his daughter, he added: "And now, Sis, we’ll have to hurry with the lunch, if I’m to
meet Barton at one-thirty. I’ll see Johnson about the car."
In silence the young people watched the judge make his way toward the garage.
“Oh, Duke, I hope you—”
“Oh, no, I understand him all right. Don’t suppose I would want him to compromise his
honor, but it’s up to me to show him that I’m some good, even if I do work for the ‘News’.
Well, good-bye,” he added abruptly, and ran down the steps to his car.
It was three days later that King met Johnson in town and was informed by him that the
judge and his daughter had just gone for a trip to a nearby city and intended to stay for several
days. Johnson was surprised when the young man suddenly asked, "Who owns the place across
the road from the judge’s ranch?”
“Lawyer Barton,” replied Johnson, "although the judge has been dickering for a lease on it.
lie thinks there ought to be oil on it, as it is much lower and swampier than his own."
“Is that so, gee! that will come in handy,” exclaimed the young man, then catching Johnson
by the arm, he propelled him across the walk and into the office of the News, which at the
moment was empty.
When the pair at last emerged from the building, Johnson wore a wide grin. Parting from
King, he made his way to a hardware store, where he purchased and rolled out to the judges
car a large barrel, which after much manipulation he managed to stow away in the car. After
making a few more small purchases he proceeded on his way home.
The next forenoon found King on his way to the ranch. On arriving he helped Johnson to
remove the barrel from the larger car, and then equipped with a rope and a hammer, the two
men rolled the barrel down the driveway, across the road, and into the neglected doonard of the
abandoned Barton ranch. Taking care not to break down any tall ranch weeds that grew around
the well curbing, they prycd loose several curb planks, and with the aid of the rope, lowered the
barrel into the well. Johnson descended after the barrel, grasping the rope in his hands and

“That ought to put the trick over,” he chuckled.
The morning after the judge had returned home, Johnson reported that them well was out of

up the phone from the stand, he breathlessly asked for Barton’s office.
“Hello. Barton, this is Nevers. I just called up to let you know that I have decided to take
the ranch at your price.” He tried to make his voice sound casual. But as he listened to
Barton’s voice, his eager look turned to one of consternation.
“What,” he stammered, “an option to King?” What does he want it for? What? Only to
live on!” The judge became angry. “What would he take for his option?
“Five hundred,” returned Barton.
“I’ll buy it,” snapped the judge, “you fix it up for me,” he added, and slammed the receiver
on the hook.
That afternoon, King found the judge and Ruth sitting on the shady veranda when he drove
up in his run-about. Returning their greeting, he silently handed the judge a slip of paper. It
was a check for four hundred dollars. After glancing at the check, the judge looked inquiringly
at the young man.
“My profits on the option,” explained Duke. “I didn’t mean to cheat you out of anything, but
merely to show you what a good real estate man I would make.”
“0, you didn’t get the best of me,” returned the judge. “I'm bound to get a lot of oil out of
that place.”
“Sure, you ought to get at least a barrelful," laughed the young fellow.
“A barrelful! Why, what do you mean?” demanded the judge.
King then told the story of the “planted” oil.
He had expected the judge to become angry, but a slight twinkle came into the judge’s eye
and his face wore an admiring grin.
“Pretty clever, young man,” he chuckled, “but you will have to take this back,” he added,
shoving the check into the young man’s hand.
After a slight pause, he remarked, “Whatever shall I do with the ranch, since there isn’t any
oil on it?”

The Reforms of Mrs. Cheseborough
the rural com-
than she, who,
a thousand in-
inuch smaller.”
Mrs. Cheseborough wa fat; undeniably fat. And, more than that, the fatter she grew the
more important in the village of Pleasant Field she thought herself. She was a born leader
everyone admitted that. 1 hat is, everyone in the village Aid Society admitted it Of course
there were a few old aristocratic families who took little part in the social affairs of Pleasant
Field and who looked on tolerantly with kindly interest and amusement at Mrs Cheseborough’s
leadership in society. Among these were the Salisburys. But among those who took active part
in social affairs, even Miss Cunningham, the well-to-do spinster who lived alone in the big white
house on Walnut Avenue, acknowledged “that Mis’ Cheseborough had lived in
munity longer and was more fitted to lead in the social affairs of the village,
having been brought up in Centerville, a town six miles away, that boasted of
habitants, naturally could not be expected to lead in the social life of a town so
In fact, Pleasant Field had only three hundred residents.
The only person in the village wholly and absolutely dissatisfied with the leadership of Mrs.
Cheseborough was her husband, Jonas, who cared not a whit for social prestige. He was often
wont to say when no one but his wife could hear, “Milly, I’m afeard I’ll be dead afore I’ve
lived out my threescore and ten. Them meals that there girl Salicia throws together ain’t fit fer
my worst hound to eat. An’ ef I go to tell 'er anythin’ she flounces off as mad as a wet hen.”
If Mrs. Cheseborough was in a pleasant mood she would respond soothingly, “Well. Jonas, we
must all bear our little share of the war burdens. Your tiny part is to keep good-natured with
incompetent help. Think what our soldiers are doing over there.” She would moan and wipe
her eyes. “O dear, I just can’t bear to think of it!” And Jonas would go off to "the store”,
muttering that he wished she’d feel that sorry for him when he had to eat what Salicia cooked,
which he was sure must be worse than anything the Government could compel a soldier "Over
There” to eat. lie never dared say that often the wife was eating good meals at some dinner
while he was eating “that stuff”, for he knew that she would retort that THE CH’B was doing
real JI'ar Work, while he kept store for his own selfish interests. And Jonas was not a bright
enough man to think of mentioning the Liberty Bonds he had bought, and the different "drives
and other patriotic activities he had carried on at the General Store. Anyway, he grumbled,
"the Mrs.” would probably think of something else to retort, and he might as well resign himself
to being a down-trodden bit of humanity, ill-fed and lonely in his own house, getting solitary
comfort only while munching crackers and cheese at his store, rather than to go home and have
soggy or burnt potatoes and muddy coffee set before him.
Mrs. Cheseborough thoroughly believed that most of the people and institutions of the world
needed changing, most of them a great radical reform, but all at least some change. And this
was her policy in her social life. When she thought of something that lay within her reach to
reform, and sometimes things that lay far beyond her reach she would greedily grasp the chances
they offered. She adored reforms. Her soul dwelt upon possible and impossible, real and imag-
inary reforms. _________ ____

But Mrs. Cheseborough never grew discouraged. She continued the reformations in the vil-
lage. and buoyed up the faith of the weaker members, who were beginning to feel the defeats of
all their hopes and ambitions. Though her reforms seldom resulted in a very decided victory
for the "Cause", she sincerely believed that she was an indispensable power for good in Pleasant
Field. Her war reforms had been more successful, but now, with the war all over, she had
been just a trifle discouraged, because she had feared that she would again be left, as in the
days before the war, with a scarcity of objects for her reforms. But just yesterday she had
been reading a magazine and she had struck upon a brilliant idea. I he whole village was talk-
ing about it! There was excitement in the air, and Mrs. Cheseborough fairly bristled with
importance. Every hour enlarged the fact that Pleasant Field was to be the scene of a Wonder-
ful Reform. There were persons that scoffed at the idea and reminded Mrs. Cheseborough of
her very’ numerous unsuccessful attempts. But such people were not to be considered in this, the
wonderful reform. She took the Club into her confidence. The members were at first dubious
and hesitant but were finally brought around to her point of view, and soon caught some of her
very plentiful enthusiasm, so that when they left the club room over Jonas’ store that evening,
each and everv one of them was anxious to work for the cause. For Mrs. Cheseborough had
told the Club of her purpose of getting for every home-coming soldier in Pleasant Field and
vicinity' an honest means of employment. ‘‘For,’’ Mrs. Cheseborough concluded, “Satan will find
mischief for idle hands to do." And Jonas, in the store below, bored to the last degree by the
conversation that came down to him from above, added in a low voice, “And a good share of it
for hands that are busy with a lot of durn’ club work."
The next day Mrs. Cheseborough began work. She visited all the homes in Pleasant Field
that were entitled to display a service Bag, and of all the twenty homes she visited, only one
was expecting a soldier back within the next four months. This man was a member of a family
that had moved there only lately; in fact nn one had seen the soldier as he was in the army
when the family had moved to Pleasant Field. The villagers stood rather in awe of the
Montrose family. Very few women had called on Mrs. Montrose. But Mrs. Cheseborough had
not been afraid, and after her first visit, had brought back the report that “Mrs. Montrose was a
real nice woman”, and so long as the newcomer did not enter into, and become the leader in,
Pleasant Field society: she had a firm friend in Mrs. Cheseborough, who had called on her quite
often after that. No one knew whether it was the fact that the cakes that Mrs. Montrose served
were very pleasing to the sweet tooth of Mrs. Cheseborough, or that Mrs. Cheeseborough liked
her so very much. The fact of the case was that Mrs. Montrose took a kindly interest in the
whole village, and enjoyed Mrs. Cheseborough’s hearty ways that were so different from any-
thing she had known in the city from which she had come. As she had come to the country for
a rest and a change, her husband had found out that she enjoyed the life at Pleasant Field, and
actually grew to enjoy it himself, much to his surprise. He often lingered in Jonas’ general
store and Post Office after getting his mail, and discovered that, though the two were so dif-
ferent in exterior, they had many thoughts and feelings in common, and in a certain way, they
became congenial friends.
So when Mrs. Cheseborough came to see about the soldier, Mrs. Montrose said with all gravity
of countenance,
Why, yes, I think he’d be interested. It is fortunate that you called to-day. We are ex-
pecting him home tomorrow. He arrived in the States last Thursday. And we will be so glad
to see him, the dear boy. Let me see, Arthur has been in France for nearly’ a year and a half.
Maybe you would call day after tomorrow and see him about it.”
Mrs. Cheseborough accepted with pleasure and went home very much pleased with herself.
A little while after she had gone, Mr. Montrose came in.
“Oh, Genevieve, I’ve been talking to Jonas about—well, what on earth is funny about talking
to Jonas as I do every day?”
“Oh, Jim, it’s so funny!” Mrs. Montrose could hardly talk.
"JI'hat’s so funny?” It was good to see Genevieve laughing so heartily
to be the victim of such an explosion, and not know what it was all about.

You know the
1 hat evening the six o’clock train held at least one eager young person. This person wore an
olive drab uniform with lieutenant’s insignia, and if we were to look more closely and examine
the tag on his suit-case, we would find the name, “Lt. Arthur M. Montrose.” He kept himself
busy looking out of the car window, and seemed surprised at the kind of country through which
they were passing. When the train stopped at the tiny station at Pleasant Field, he laughed
softly to himself.
"Gosh, Mother and Dad sure picked out a small enough town to live in,” he said. "Since
they won’t be expecting me till tomorrow, I guess I'll explore around a little by myself.” He
saw Jonas' store across the road and made for it, to get directions to help him find his home.
Jonas gave him the desired information, and after he had left the store, muttered to himself,
“I guess that there’s Milly’s leftenant. He’s some looker, all righty. I swan, I never seen sech
eyes.”
The lieutenant walked slowly up the main street of the village in the early winter darkness.
Jonas had told him his home was “two squares up, and the third house in the next. He
sauntered up the street in a leisurely fashion, looking carelessly about him, but when he reached
the “next” he began to observe the houses he was passing. They were all good-sized. 1 he first
one the large white one of Miss Cunningham.
“That’s quite a good-looking old house,” he said to himself, but added, It looks lonely,
though.” Then, as he passed the home of the Salisbury's, he said, " 1 hat s better. It looks like
a home.” This house was a large, rambling, old-fashioned mansion, with arched door-ways and
everything that goes with the delightful old house if it is kept in a state of repair. A large
porch had been added and this gave the dwelling a look of additional comfort.
“Just the kind of a place I'd like to own,” he said as he noticed the large lawn and pretty-
grounds. There were large windows on the side next the very pretentious dwelling he saw was
his home, and these windows afforded an excellent view of the dining-room of the neighbors.
He caught a glimpse of the family eating dinner in the tasteful dining-room as he went up the
steps to his own abode. What he saw was a simple dining-room, a sweet, grey-haired lady, an
elderly man, and—the lieutenant started up and saluted. “I’ll set my cap for her.” he vowed
in the darkness. The person he had seen was a girl, sitting with her father and mother eating
dinner. She had just looked up at her father, with laughing eyes, and her smi c was t e
sauciest and sweetest he had ever seen. She was small, with dusky hair that was not staying
up as it should, and this fact and the fact that she wore a kitchen apron with the sleeves rolled
up above dimpled elbows, and the brilliant hue of her cheeks, all led htm to believe that she had
cooked the supper and was proud of the fact. At any rate, her father’s look would make any-
one know that he was proud of her, and not altogether because she had gotten up the supper
either.
The figure in khaki stood on his porch for several minutes before ringing the bell, and watched
the scene in the dining-room across the way. When he finally turned to the door, his mind was
made up that he ‘“would get to know that girl, by fair means or foul .
After the surprise of his father and mother had cooled a little, and they were all established
at the dinner table, Mrs. Montrose told her son about Mrs. Cheseborougli and her call. She
made it plain to him that she had invited Mrs. Cheseborough to call while he was there, purely
for diversion, "and", she told him, “you know I need restful diversion."
He listened attentively, and as she finished, said, "That’s not such a bad idea. You say the
Salisburys are our neighbors over here?”
“Yes,” said Mrs. Montrose. “But of course, Arthur, you’re not thinking of taking that
position 1”
“You needn’t worry, Mother,” he replied, “I’ve done worse work than that in the army.
Why, that would seem like child’s play, even compared to college football. And you didn’t
object to my playing on the Princeton eleven. Besides I can’t go into law' right away, and I
don’t want to be idle while I’m looking around. And the Salisburys are so conveniently near,
why not ?”
Mr. Montrose glanced at his wife with a look that said, “I told you so,” and said: “That’s the
stuff, son! You have the right spirit. If you behave decently, mowing lawns and tending
furnaces can’t harm your character or reputation.”
Mrs. Montrose argued and pleaded in vain and the next Monday morning saw him in over-
alls in the domain of the Salisburys. He saw the girl (he found out her name was Phyllis, from
hearing her father call her Phil) in the kitchen making cookies, and it Wasn’t many weeks until
his name and family were well known in the Salisbury home.
Several months later the door of the general store burst open and two gav, laughing young
people came in to get the mail. After they left Jonas muttered,
"Fer all Milly’s reforms made me purty mis’rable fer a time, one of ’em seems to have made
two young ’ns purty happy. I guess 1 oughtn’t to complain, fer I’ve finally been able to per-
suade Milly to give up reformin' while she’s a good taste in her mouth. And she’s agreed to
not go very deep in another after all the soldiers of Pleasant Field are accounted for, an’ stay

The Pearl of Contentment
In a far country once reigned a queen before whom all nations bowed down in awe Her
name was known wherever man dwelt, for if ever a subject displeased her, though it were
in the merest tr.fle, yet swift was her wrath and terrible the doom of that unfortunate one
Hence it came to pass that she was the most wealthy and powerful woman in the world'
Pilgrims in throngs came daily to her capital in the hope of catching only one glimpse of her
glittering palace, of breathing only one whiff from her gardens, which spread out for miles
about her castle home.
When the princess would hunt, there awaited her a hundred baying hounds, eager for the
chase; when she would ride, forth from the stables, came her magnificent Arabian steeds, whose
proud carriage rivaled even that of their royal mistress. A thousand servants hastened to obev
her slightest whim; an ever increasing number of courtiers hung about her, ready to pour into
her greedy ears their subtle whispers of flattery. Yet that princess was ever desiring more to call
her own, so always her unseen ministers gathered more riches, more glories, more adulation to
feed her grasping fancy. Many a home knew desolation that the royal wish might be fulfilled,
many a heart sank at the sight of those messengers of evil—the queen’s goblins.
II
Now it happened one night that an aged traveler related his adventures to this mighty poten-
tate, as payment for lodging. The court listened breathlessly to the marvels he told, but the
queen smiled scornfully, for nothing was new to her. Indeed, she almost dozed until something
that the man said aroused her mind to sudden interest. He was describing a wonderful pearl
which he said he had seen in a poor peasant’s hut. Proud as she was of her knowledge of the
world, the queen had never before heard of such a gem. She leaned eagerly forward on her
throne, and addressed the pilgrim curiously:
“Where, sir, is this jewel to be found, and what is its price?
The old man bowed low and answered respectfully, our Majesty, the cottage is on the
borders of tour own kingdom. Far from human habitation, it stands in a desolate forest, which
is surrounded by a stream well-nigh impassable. '
‘‘What matters that?” cried the queen. “ I he price, man, the price! what is that?
“I was about to say, madam,” continued the traveler, “that were these difficulties which I hate
mentioned to be overcome, there would still remain an insurmountable obstacle. I he pearl is
not for sale.”
The queen smiled disdainfully. She knew too well human frailty to believe such a statement,
for she tvas confident that every man had his price, consequently, the pearl would be secured.
So, after obtaining more explicit directions from the pilgrim, she summoned her goblins to attend
her immediately in a private chamber. The tiny pair, whose crafty eyes, greedy mouths and
chuckles showed them to be their mistress’ true followers, soon stood before her. The queen
commanded them to return with the wondrous pearl within three days no matter what the cost
in gold and labor should be. At once they sat out upon their journey, leaving the royal lady to
spend the night in fair dreams of the beautiful jewel.
HI
Under the stars till day broke, and beneath the hot sun after, the goblins sped on their road,
leaving behind manv worn-out horses, whose irate masters stormed under their breaths, not
daring to voice displeasure against “those knaves” who were almost as sacrosanct as the queen
herself. By sunset the two had succeeded in crossing the torrent that rushed by the forest and

goblin spokesman knocked at the door. It opened but a crack, and the man of the house peered
forth. With a startled cry, he drew back at the sight of the pair.
“We are the queen’s messengers,” spoke the first, "come on business of importance.”
The woodman could do no better than to apologize then, and he opened wide the door. With
much affectation of politeness, the gnomes entered.
A radiant light at first nearly blinded them, but when again they lifted their eves thev saw
suspended in the center of the hut, the famous pearl whose clear rays had lighted their path. At
a rude table beneath rhe pearl, which was as large as an apple, sat the forester’s wife and
daughter. The little family was much surprised at so unusual a visit, so that no one spoke for
a moment. Then the elder goblin gained his glib tongue.
"Her gracious majesty, the queen,” he began, in a solemn tone which had its premeditated
effect upon his audience, “has heard, sir, that a somewhat unusual pearl is in your possession, sir.
Her august mind is not deceived in that impression, is it, sir?”
It was well that he paused then, for the unlearned forester was much disturbed at such a
meeting with the royal deputies, about whom he had heard much evil, but never any good.
Also, he had never before in his life been called "sir”, so that at first he actually did not com-
prehend that he was being addressed. When his confused thoughts had become clear, he
answered slowly:
“There is a pearl here. You can see it above, your honor.”
He pointed to the lustrous sphere. The goblin bowed as an act of courtesy which again stag-
gered the forester, and rejoined:
“Doubtless, sir, you have not much use for such a stone. Your gracious monarch, realizing this,
has kindly offered to relieve you of it, in return for ten gold pieces!”
With a magnificent gesture, he pulled out his purse and threw it upon the table. A most
unmistakable clink was heard.
But the peasant had now regained his customary composure.
“Very likely her majesty means well, your honor; but we don't need the money out here.
Anyway, we don’t want to sell the pearl.”
“No, indeed,” spoke up his wife. “That pearl is the prettiest thing we have.” (The goblins
could not resist chuckles when they thought of the enormous value of the pearl, twinkling merrily
above them.) “Beside, your honor, it’s a gift that we were told never to part with. An old
woman, that we have never seen since, gave it to us on our wedding day, ‘It is a Pearl of Con-
tentment', she said. ‘Never part with it.’ It was just a wee thing then, but it’s been a-growing
ever since Sally, here, was born.” She nodded toward her daughter, who blushed and courtesied.
“But, surely, there are many things you need, more than that little stone,” argued the goblin.
He enumerated the delights of the cities in the hopes of catching their fancy, but in vain. 1 he
woodman was obdurate, so after stormy threatenings the defeated little felloes were obliged to
make their way back to the queen, from whom they expected dire punishment.
IV
J he queen, indeed, rated her ministers soundly, vet she was not a whit daunted at their
failure. She questioned them minutely concerning all that they had observed at the cottage.
7 roubled by their answers, she sat in thought for a long while, her head supported in one
hand, her brow wrinkled in anxiety. At length, a crafty gleam came into her eye, her forehead
cleared ; she sat erect and issued orders in her usual abrupt, authoritative manner. The gnomes,
thankful that her anger had not been visited upon them, soon took their leave.
Now they were again on the road to the forest. But this time the manner of procedure was
different. Instead of offering fat purses to the little household, they urged upon the poor peasant
and his wife the desirability of giving their daughter a glimpse of court life. The sly elves
averred that the queen herself had extended the invitation, which included the gift of all the
finery that any young girl could long for, together with an unlimited stay at court, provided
the wonderful Pearl should belong to the queen.
The offer was such a gross bribery that even the ignorant forester and his wife laughed it to
scorn. This, however, had been foreseen, so the evil pair now began to

by besieging them whenever they left rhe hut. (They had no power within, since the "magic
Pearl of Contentment protected the family by its cheerful light.)
Moreover, they used magic powers. The woodman had never a minute's peace. He heard
strange voices which constantly urged him to yield to his daughter's desire. The good man
began to believe himself crazed, especially when he fancied that strange shapes peered at him
from behind the trees when he went out to work, or mocked him as he trudged home at dusk
He felt powerless before some unknown, oppressive force.
There came an evening when his daughter met him returning from work, threw herself at his
feet, and begged, weeping, that he would give up the pearl for her sake. To his distorted mind
the thought of any relief from the insane ideas torturing him was like a draught of cool water.
He knew if he should answer ‘“yes” relief would be certain; he knew, also, that he ought to sav
“no”. In mad despair, he was again about to refuse his child her plea, when the world danced
in front of him, demons came out of the ancient forest and mocked him, tormenting him until
he could endure no more. “Yes!” he shouted.
The pain was over; his brow was again free from fever; his daughter was happy once more.
He felt able to fight the world, including all the gnomes and demons anywhere, for the sake of
his Pearl. Smiling, he turned home with Sally, and opened the door. All was dark within. At
first, he stood astonished; then, at last, horrified; he knew the pearl was gone!
It was true. At the very instant when the fateful “yes” had passed his lips, the gnomes were

the Pearl were now disclosed in all their ugliness. Yet, worst of all, was the effect upon the
inmates. Sally spent her days in weeping and moping, partly because of the sorrow she felt she
had caused, partly because of pity for herself, cheated of a grand presentation at court. Her
father was no longer bright and cheerful, but sat moodily in the chimney corner, speaking no
word. The poor mother, who felt that somehow she was to blame, alternately reproaciec er.e

Class Poem
The wise Mr. Meade, with a jovial grin,
Introduced us as Freshmen, and ushered us in;
The Faculty said, with knowing nods,
'Fortune has favored us—thanks to the gods!”
As sportive young freshmen, we nothing did lack;
Bold athletes we furnished for football and track.
The praise of our sophomore year, long will it ring,
Unparalleled the deeds of which I sing.
In work and in play we have stood every test,
We couldn’t be beat, from the first to the last.
The world, too, has heard of our orators’ fame,
And our debaters, too, who’ve won an enviable name.
And now when we were Juniors we sure had some fun,
In dramatics and shooting we the championship won.
Needless to say we were proud of our team.
All the Juniors were happy, the coaches did beam,—
And then, talk about scholars, most of our class
Made grades in all subjects that can’t be surpassed.
Our brilliant part in I. C. II. S. is now o’er,
These wide halls we’ll roam never more.
Our Future? ’Twill surely be bright,
For work we shall with all our might,
And honestly, too, to stand for the right.
Search the pages of history: nowhere ■will you find
A class that to greater honor has climbed.
Kenneth Belle,
Canoeing on the Iowa
A balmy, starlit night in June,
All youth and nature was in tune,
A pleasure quest with joy pursuing,
Out on the Iowa, canoeing.
1 he moonbeams quivered on her breast,
Or shot long ribbons o’er her crest;
White clouds drift 'cross the crescent slow,
Are mirrored in the depths below.
The water laps the shadowy shore,
Where woodsy odors lurk, and creep,
Or shrubs stand guard, or crickets roar,
The night hush of the birds asleep.
A downs mother on her nest,
Draws close her feathers, 'round her brood;
A note so low, like a caress,
A lullaby of sleepiest mood.
We cross the silhouette of the bridge,
Malt in its shadow to make a pledge,
Then a dip or splash of the oar we pad,
In the dark flowing water my hand I trail.
On past the park where terpsichore
Would leave us to her sylvan home.
Enchanted ground, we do love .thee,
But Iowa’s charms bid us to roam.
Around the bend to the country club,
Where lights and laughter are so well known,
Has given it the name of the social club,
And here we turn and drift back home.
Slowly and silently we drift along
Till the boathouse light welcomes us home.
A peaceful sense, as we leave the stream,
And go home to sleep, but only to dream
Of canoeing on the Iowa.
G. Presso.v, '19.

Just twelve years ago, our Class of 1919 entered the public schools. After twelve years of

Into the Future
It was late afternoon of June, 1939, in the International Censorship office of New ork. The
head censor had just begun on a huge pile of mail which the four o clock plane, driven by Clara
Hoeft, had delivered.
Claude Adams, who had gained his position through the influence of Vera Koser, Senator from
Wyoming, opened rhe first letter. A pleased smile came over his face as he remarked to his
assistant, ‘'Well, well; here’s an order from the Nelson Trumpp Drug Company, to the C. Koser
wholesale house for one hundred boxes of powder. Nelson? William Nelson? No, his
sister, Lorena. Bill is now business manager of the Coralville Street Cleaners’ Union. He mar-
ried that Trundy girl; you remember Wilma, don’t you?” "Yes. indeed.” "Now here’s a letter
from Mary Kelleher. She and her husband, Charles Bright, have just bought out the Andrew
Carnegie estate. Mary writes to her old friend, Lillian Wilcox, who is successfully prospecting
for gold in Alaska.”
“It makes me feel young again to come across so many letters from old high school friends.”
“Yes. Lula Shipley is the Independent candidate for governor in Texas, according to this county
newspaper, which announces also that Esma and Leia Kiser are running a prosperous cattle ranch
which is farmed entirely by women. Among them are our old friends Margaret Lehman and
Neva Kessler.” "Did you know that Otto Treptow was the owner and proprietor of the famous
string of Treptow hotels? He is ordering soap from the C. Daniels Soap and Tallow Works.”
"Here's a clipping from the New York Times: ‘The Very Reverend Spencer Foote, D. D., has
accepted the pulpit of a prominent English church. He will take ship immediately, accompanied
by his wife, Evelyn Adams.’ ” "Here’s an advertisement of the Cumberland-Boyd circus, featur-
ing Leona Hambrecht and Ira Sorenson as Hindu snake charmers, and Helen McChesney as the
champion tight rope walker. Otto Jirava appears as the head clown!” "Did you know that
Martha Grant’s husband had been elected to the important position of president of the college at
Tiffin? He’s receiving congratulations from Evelyn Hogan, who occupies a similar position at
West Branch.” “What’s become of Henri?” "He’s janitor of the Old Ladies’ Home, which
Helen Starbuck and Genevieve Rohret manage. At last he’s found his place in the world.”
"How exciting! Nelle Cochran, famous aviatrix, has just succeeded in reaching Evanston,
flying from Chicago, and has the record for high flying. Some bird!” "A lecture by Eugene
Hunter, C. O. D., S. O. S., S. A. T C., on the question of ‘Sociology of the Races of Sanslubri-
anky’, assisted by Florence Unash, with Beulah Buckingham as pianist.”
“Oh, fun! Carrie Schneider is a prominent mob speaker. She and Irene Peters are touring
the country in behalf of woman’s suffrage.”
"Say, remember Clinton Sims? Look at this ad: ‘As I am removing my family to the city, I
will sell my 1000-acre farm to the highest bidder. Free lunch.’ He married Leona Osborne
after Bertha Kolar had jilted him three times.” “Isn’t this the best looking car! It is the
Rosaline limousine, model 1939, price $259. Orville is doing a thriving business.”
"According to this Des Moines paper, the ‘Know it all’ expedition has just set out for Alaska
to study the tropical plant of the country. In the party are Violet Anderson, Gertrude Dunlap,
and Edna Miller and Ky Hotz.” "Behold! a catalog announcing the spring sale of the Englert-
McGovney Dry Goods Company. Imagine Dick as a mail-order man!”
I see that Lyle Brigham is managing the Elmira champion crap shooting team, with G.
Presson as business manager.” “Margaret DeNio is choir leader of the North Liberty church,
and R. Young is a prominent farmer in the same metropolis.” “Our friend, Harold Harmon, is
popular on the Dark continent, apparently. ‘After using his car for rushing Tau Dclt, he has
gone to the wilds of Africa, where he is trying to establish a chapter among the natives’!” “The
next time we run up to Chicago we should see those famous beauty doctors, Florence Miller and
Bernice Eggleston. Florence has won a gold medal for her famous vanishing cream, which re-
moves wrinkles, skin and all.”
“I didn't know that Helene Schindler was managing Doris Blake’s department in the Tribune,
did you? She ts answering a letter from K. E. Griffin, insurance agent for Podunk, Iowa. He
says: ‘How can I get nd of a red nose?’ ‘Drink more and it will turn purple’.” “Let’s go to
hear this roaring good debate. The All Champions, M. Memler, M. Springmire and M. Ronan
meet the U J ell Ums, A. Heinsius, F. Sladek and R. Hotz, in a clash on the following question:
•The pumpkin is more useful to man as a jack o’ lantern than as a pie’.” “The new best seller
of the month is by our old friend, M. Meardon. It is ‘Famous Jokes You Should Have Heard’.”
••News from Hills. Noted sheriff of the peace performs ten marriages, three funerals and
settles seven disputes—the record of the Hon. Rob. Leinbaugh. He never married, did he? That’s
strange.” “Have you seen this clipping? The Shueyville Gazette tells us that Doris Robinson
and Walter Nerad are prosperously raising cows and chickens along with a large family.”
"Edna Messner is running the ’Anything You Want to Know’ by correspondence school and is
earning a good living.”
ho would haxe thought it! Izzy is playing the lead in one of Foxes latest emotional
dramas, ‘Tears, Why Should They Be?’ Her leading man is Walter Dehner, well known in
Iowa City circles. Both are promised a brilliant future.” An advertisement. ‘Wanted__________25
hustling men for my section gang in Canada. Bob Seashore.’ He is a leading engineer now
because of his experience in high school days.” "This new book, ‘Why Is a Man?’ by Inez
Pillars, the budding young genius, is taking Tiffin by storm, according to an editorial in the
‘Every Night a Week but Four,’ by its editor, Eric Wilson.” "Oh, what a pity! The Dondore
Mammoth False Hair Company was wrecked by fire! Blazes started in a switch and before the
Downey fire department could arrive the building was in flames. Chief fireman, Lon Adams,
with his assistant, Earl Glaspey, did noble work, but could not save the factory.”
“Ha, ha! Art Baldwin, at the age of thirty-nine, is a retired farmer in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.”
“Salome Fisher is running a hotel in Hot Springs, I see, by this letter to Margaret Lucas.
Margaret, you know, is operating a Bandoline factory. She bought out the Le Page glue concern
and now makes Bandoline, the famous toilet requisite. Salome also encloses a
Hemsted, who is now a missionary trying hard to civilize the barbarians of the Equinostrinal
Islands.” "Here’s a program of the latest Broadway hit, ‘Go T. o It, Maybelle’, in which Florence
Smith makes her debut as leading lady. Arthur Pudil is the heartless villain, and Norma \ ill-
hauer the ‘other woman’. There’s talent in that!” "Kenneth Belle, I see, has just been bought
by the Bostonian Champion Baseball learn, for the sum of $10,000. Hell make a good pitcher.
“Gladys Williamson is managing a home for the poor and needy. It is luck that none of oui old
classmates are there.” "Well, Richard Schump is running Ziegfield’s Follies for 1939, with
Ralph Platzer succeeding Al Johnson and Nora Helm and Oregonia Havlik, noted cabaret
dancers!” “Have you heard from Frances Watkins lately?” "Oh, yes. Don’t you know
about her labor-saving device? She and Nora Cambridge have invented a new machine for
arranging ties and fixing collar buttons. Hubby simply holds the back of his neck against it
and it automatically puts on his tie and collar. It saves 7,000,000 otherwise wasted words each
day.” “There are some famous people in our class, all right. I heard that I. C. H. S. Phjs.cs

To you who have too much, or lack
That thing called “nerve” or “brass”;
To you, ye boobs; to you, ye nuts,

For we will "hit” most every one
We'II even whack the sages.

It’s the popular guy that gets the slams,
Be a good scout, you don't care!
And so to you—included here,
We dedicate this section,
We only hope that in each jest

Otto Jirava—your future portrays you as the
most prominent cop in the metropolis of Coral-

favorable sign of the zodiac, Walter Nerad.
You are to be cabaret dancer, capturing a sal-
ary of $1 per minute from Manager Treptow
in Hotel Jefferson.

in the maiden Queen of the isle.
A great future is predicted for you, Nelle.

ONE LITTLE VERB
There is a little verb in French
That always bothers me—
It’s spelled in such a funny way,
Circumflex e-t-r-e.
It twists and turns and changes__
Etaient, suis, and sommes,
Till when I try to write it
There’s just ‘nobody home’.
It’s fus, and fut, and etait,
And all in such a mix,
And I can’t quite get its habits
And its tenses (five or six).
Sera, seront, and ete,
Really I can’t see
How I can get so twisted
With the little verb ‘to be’.

How dear to my heart is the thing they call
Latin,
When fond recitations present it to view.
I he clauses, the phrases, all dressed in their
satin,
And every loved ending that makes us feel
blue;
1 he high-sounding doo-dads and outlandish
diet,
1 he slave with a spear and the Roman who
fell,
1 he verbal gerundive, the noun crouching
nigh it,
Are hidden in Latin which I love so well.
That time-honored Latin,
That iron-bound Latin,
That moss-covered Latin,
Which hangs on so well.—Ex.
A HAIR PIN
Its uses arc a thousand-fold,
To the owner its aids are untold,
A tooth-pick, a nut-pick,
And often an orange stick,
I he hater of hair-pins is certainly cold.
1 o find one means to find a friend,
I o lose one means no terrible end.
It’s often a paper clip,
It can pull, pick, and nip,
It is borrowed from those who will lend.
It’s a gift from kind husband to wife,
’Tis cheap and thus saves lots of strife,
See her pleased look,
And on opening a book
It’s used at once for a paper-knife.
It’s the gift-buyer’s only salvation,
The ten-cent store is his destination,
For here they're arrayed,
Bone and wire displayed,
And some, with gems, flash in starry tempta-
tion.
Let the hair-pin speak for itself.
For it is a spry little elf.
Some have a hump
Or their sides have a bump,
But its use keeps it off from the shelf.

LOVERS’ CORNER
Edited by Carrie Imhoff
Dear Carrie:—
I am a handsome young man 18 years of
age, and deeply in love with a pretty girl in
my class who is 17. Her name is Edith—
what does this name mean? One day she
looked at me and smiled—what did this mean?
I asked her for a date once but she refused,
and since then I have found out that she had
a date with another fellow named Kenneth.
How can I win her love? I am very jealous
and hate Kenneth. What should I do to him?
Is it proper to work her Physics problems and
help her that way? My rival, Kenneth, is her
laboratory assistant and when I see him talk-
ing to her I am very angry. I am thinking of
taking her to a movie this week. Is that prop-
er? I hope you will help a love sick young
man by answering these questions.
William.
William:
You foolish boy—to be in love at such a
youthful age. It is undoubtedly calf-love. The
name Edith means “Beautiful but sharp-
tongued.” When she smiled at you, William,
it probably meant that she was happy. Don't
take it so seriously. The way to win a young
girl’s love is to wait until you are older and
have better sense, William. It is a serious
thing to be jealous of anyone, and the way to
overcome it is to make Kenneth your friend,
and to treat him in a friendly way. It is not
proper to work Edith’s problems, William.
She should be intelligent enough to do her own
school work alone. Don’t work any more of
her problems! William, under no circum-
stances take her to a movie unchaperoned. She
and you both are far too young for this.
Carrie.
Man had a little car,
Its wheels were red as fire,
Mary wotdd "get rich quick"
If she’d drive that car for hire.
The girls of our big Nineteen class
Are surely well supplied with brass;
A wee powder puff
Is not quite enough,—
A Senior girl must have a "glass”.

RAIN
Rain, rain, everywhere,
It makes you so discouraged,
It rains all day, it rains all night,
It makes you so sore, you'd like to fight.
Rain, rain, everywhere,
And not a thing to do,
You’ve got your Math, you’ve got your Lit,
You’ve got your History too.
Rain, rain, everywhere,
It makes you sore all over,
You broke your shin, by climbing the coal-
bin,
And threw a board at Rover.

There is a sturdy young man named Banes,
His appetite he never restrains,
The sandwiches he eats—
With him no one competes.
But later, poor Harry, those pains.

ELEGY OF THE STAFF
Of jokes ive must have a great store,
We work and yet always need more—
Till our brains feel like lead—
When at last they are read,
Someone shouts, “Why, I've heard them be-
fore!”
A modest Freshman offers the suggestion that
the “David” on the Assembly Room platform
lost his sling when he flung it at a departing
football speaker. The missile lodged in the
unfortunate youth’s brain and has never been
recovered.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,

Interrogatively and inquiringly do I question

In your prodigious altitude above the terres-

Similar to a carbonaceous ismatic suspended in

Tick, Tock
The last slow tick has died away,
Its feeble echo is no more,
The peace recalls old mem’ries hoar,
Our ancient clock did stop today!
Since Eighteen Sixty-nine she’s run
(The county records prove it so) ;
And many harsh looks has she won,
For to the tardy she meant woe.
In Fourth Ward school she first, ’tis said,
Called straggling pupils to their work.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, the hours she sped,
And never did a second shirk.
But after forty years or so
The days grew strangeh’ long,
Her pendulum swung yveak and sloyv,
That clock yvas surely ticking yvrong.
We took her doyvn for needed rest,
So for some time she made no sound,
Then yvith her former minute zest
She gan to tick, her health neyv found.
To help her aged feebleness
We braced her with a skillful prop,
But yesterday—O suddenness,—
Our patient, aged clock did stop!
She’s waiting still upon the shelf,
We hope kind fate may to her send
A part of her old busy self,
Else has she come unto her
END.
