K.H.S.
K. H. S., you are worn,
You are shattered and lorn,
But we love you in spite of ii all;
We'll be loyal and true,
We will fight hard for you,
And we'll hear you whenever you call.
You are old and you're quaint,
You need plaster and paint;
And you' re pretty much rolled, I guess,·
There are holes in your walls;
There are mice in your halls;
But, lo us, you are dear, K. H.S.
In your roof there are leaks;
In your steps there are squeaks;
Soon a belier we'll see where you stand,
That's not shattered or lorn,
One that's new and unworn,
One that's beaulif ul, modern, and grand.
Though another we'll see,
In our minds, there will be
A bright vision of you, K.H.S.
For we can't soon forget,
And we'll never regret,
All we learned just from you K.H.S.

Editor's Foreword

......

A year ago a heavy cloud hung over the world .
It was a cloud of anxiety and hopeful watching.
I ts shadow fell upon each one of us, making us
serious.
Our thoughts were of duty , loyalty and
service, centered on the one idea "to end the war."
Under such circumstances other than a serious and
thoughtful Annual was impossible.
But now the war is over. The cloud of gloom has
been driven away; the sun once more shines upon
us , filling us with a new spirit of thanksgiving and
happiness . In keeping with this spirit, our 1919
Annual is a Victory Annual, a record not only of our
work but of our play; the gay, the humorous side
of our High School life-a reflection of the joy that
fills our hearts.
It has been a pleasant task for us to compile this
book, and we offer it to our readers in the hope that
they may enjoy reading it as we have enjoyed making it.

l3I

TO THE
MEN AND WOMEN OF KENOSHA
WHO, TRUE TO THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH ,
ARE STRIVING BY LIVES OF SERVICE AND CO-OPERATION
TO RAISE THE IDEALS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
TO KEEP BRIGHT THE HONOR OF
OUR SCHOOL, WE DEDICATE
THIS BOOK

We have a young teacher
named Hardaway,
Whose students learned
Chemistry part-a-way.
From their test tubes the
fumes
Would fill all the rooms ,
And Tom l lansen our
corpses
Would cart-a -way .

Miss I lolah in Latin ' s a
shark,
She can translate it in the
dark.
If her pupils don't do
Just what she tells them
to
She gives them a very
low mark .

There's a teacher whose
first name is Pop,
In wisdom he's sure on
the top.
When he takes the roll,
With their seats for their
goal,
I low our students do
down the aisle hop

There is a small teacher
named Low ,
About History she surely
does know.
When it comes to assignmentsShe accepts no declinements,
But we all know that
Low sure does know .

Miss Cameron instructs
us in song
She's busy the whole day
long,
The Glee Club she trains
To sing pretty refrains
And with the Octette
there's sure nothing
wrong.

[ 12]

A professor of Commerce
have we,
His name you know is
Maloney.
And great in size, he surely is wise.
A private assemble has
he.

We've a very short teacher named Kirn
Who surely his salary
does earn,
From morning to night
With all of his might
Works Kirn, that his
pupils may learn.

Miss Derbyshire teaches
you how
To make speeche• just
like a high brow
In all the hereafter
I'm sure I 'II heu laughter
When I think of my first
public bow.

Miss Runge's first period
class
She ho 1ds in the assembly
tn mass

1t"s a class on behavior
And. " lay the Lord
save her."
If in that worthy class
you don't p~ss.

Miss '\ e!ch we all know
take3 the cake.
As a teacher she's surely
no fake.
In her arithmetic classes
1o t everyone pa es.
uch an excellent one
does she make.

l I' I

Miss Vandervort thinks
it's a shame,
There's so much attached
to her name.
Won't someone arrange
it
So she can er change
it?
Yet we all like her name,
just the same.

K. H. S. has a teacher of
Botany,
Of enemies we know she
aintgotany.
Miss Nelson's her name,
and wide is her fame
For she surely knows all
about Botany.

There is a young teacher
named Pohle,
Who teaches French up
at our school.
Should the students raise
catn,

And refuse French to
gam,
This would sorely distress our Miss Pohle.

We've a teacher of typewriting too
Without her we don't
know what we'd do
l ler name is Miss Zoller
And how she does holler
When she finds that our
brains are too few.

There's a teacher of English named Slater.
In this our dear Alma
Mater.
She's the Spy's good advisor.

And there's no one who is
wiser

And to her. we will never
turn traitor.

14 J

Our instructor, M is s
Northway, we've heard,
Has new ways to pronounce every word.
When one says "institootion,"
She cries, "Cons ti tyution."

We think it all very absurd.
There's a teacher who's
famed far and wide,
To please her, we've all
of us tried.
There's no use to stall
For she sees through it
all.
Mother Murphy can tell
that you've lied.
We have, too, a teacher
at High
Who w a s n e v e r yet
known to sigh.
She smiles as she goes.
If you step on her toes,
Miss Maloney does wink
with one eye.
Miss Williams' a teacher
of Math.
To Success she is on the
right path.
But oh, what is your fate,
If you come to class late?
For Miss Williams becomes very wrath.
Miss Winegar excels m
the art
Of mixing up pie, cake
and tart,
The fair sex she teaches
That thru the stomach
one reaches
Most quickly, a gentleman's heart.
An office assistant have
we,
She sure knows her business, does she,
She accepts our excuses.
And a slip ne'er refuses.
Always kind is Mrs, Trenary.

We have finished our High School career,
The days we have loved the best.
We have worked every day and have joined in the play,
And each one has stood the test.
CHORUS.
We have come to bid you sad adieu;
Now our happy High School days are through;
That is why we come to-day
Before we journey on our way.
We know that there'll be many joys and fears
For each of us in all the coming years,
But we'll always try to smile
Till we meet again.

Seniors' 1919 Class Prophecy
......
The world 's a stage , as Shakespeare said , as neve r dream ed of old ;
With problem plays, and vaudeville stunts and tragedies untold;
With history jus t a movie film in these unsteady ' tee ns ,
Still trying hard to keep the score, and find who spilled the beans.
With such a show , what is our cue , a-standing in the wings?
We've seen old Kaiser Bill dragged out , and other up-stage Kings.
Our country's starring over there, still as we read the press ,
The only line that we can get , is what we choose to guess.
But when we've left a path behind , and twenty years are spun,
And things have settled down again for one continuous run,
Then those of us who form the class of this important year ,
Will find that roles have not been scarce for those whose brains are clear.
And if we play with prophecy upon a slender clue ,
There's no one has much on us, for that's all the world can do .
So just imagine twenty years from out the future 's screen ,
And guess what parts will be assigned to K. H. S. '19.
To visit all the girls and boys this 1939 ,
Will cost a lot of money, for so little space of time;
To get to where we're going, without taking any chance ,
We'll call on Frederick Bradley , a master in finance.
As experts for this magic trip, the best is none too dear ,
Say Leonard Hahn, a chemist, and Ed Johnson , engineer.
These savvy birds bring round: a gasless , noiseless airplane;
And climb aboard and act as if they think it safe and sane.
To ease our fears of mangled forms , they bring a surgeon , too;
His name is Everett McNeil he brings his patients thru !
And if his skill cannot avail, you'll know he's not a fakirThere's nothing left but Westward ho! Clair Jensen, undertaker.
The wheel is spun, away we go; to make the cast complete
We pick up Edna Foster far from the busy street
She runs a fancy garden; and brings out Rowers gay
For Marjorie Shuart, Inc. , who runs a swell cafe.
While skidding on the clouds again, five thousand feet in air,
We plan to have the thing "wrote up" and pictured, as it were;
Two household names belong to us, one's Leo Buckman- writer
And Cletus Kupfer, than which name there's none in art that's brighter.
We glide above a city now, with giant buildings Recked.
We land upon the highest one- Earl Weiterman, architect,
Below a group awaits us- called up by wireless phon
A lively bunch and full of talk of old '19 and home,
Who represent our class within the city's firing zone .

[ 49 I

Here's Sonia Lidburg , manager of a woman's magazine ,
And Helen Fogarty in charge, of the page for "sweet sixteen ,"
Grace Piper 's fashion editor (this listens like the" py")
But when it comes to household stuff they're there with how and why .
They have a special page that tells of social happenings
Wherein writes Sarah Gallagher of teas and week-end things.
The page we see is full of breeze about Edna Mayer,
And how she skims the cream from off the upper social layer.
Where girls foregather, surely men are not so far away.
Ah! ha! here's Emery McNeil , he's one who has his say
In modern politics. And here's our Hugo Petske, too,
A lawyer chap who has a say in what his clients do.
Our Elmer Milligan has phoned, he'll be here in a minute,
He's selling off some real estate and wants to get what's in it.
And our Chris Thomsen's coming too- a physical director,
And Roger Vincent who directs within the wholesale sector.
We're all invited down to test Skoronski's candy stock,
His modern factory is a dream , and takes a city block.
Belle Stonebreaker will meet us there and she's a social worker,
Her fame is writ in deeds , and so, she's surely not a shirker.
We send our airo-taxi cab to bring in Florence Straw,
A head librarian of tomes that many ages draw.
They'll also bring in Nellie Kalb- just fifty miles to reach her,
She's in a college up the state and , they do say, some teacher!
We eat our lunch at Shuart's and attend a matinee,
A place where only stars appear that scintillate by day;
What name is this upon the screen, as down the aisle we blunder,
Nol Charlie Chaplin- Philip Rafan- what next! We mutely wonder.
The bill has just begun it seems, and darts of wit engage,
And so, ere long, Floyd Dorsey holds the center of the stage.
This player holds us spellbound till as climax to the scenes,
Carl Nelson, famous tenor, sings us back into the 'teens.
The curtain drops, the play is o'er, the play within the play,
And all together, once again we spend a joyous day,
As we renew and live again the High School days of yore.
When war and reconstruction brought endeavor to the fore.
ow those who have been there in play, are gathered here in fact,
It's harder much to look ahead than e'en to am hie back.
We each have our own lives to live, career to formulate
If they're not what is stated here, believe us, they'll be great.

..... . . . . . . . . Monday , January 13, 1919
. . . . . . . . . . . . . ...... Room 2, K. H. S .

The Story
Prologue

The curtain rises and we find Miss Vandervoort seated at her desk .

Miss V.-" I hope none of the members of that incorrigible class burst in
for at least five minutes."
But they can't leave her alone. Granger Husted wanders in (time, 7 :45
A . M.) and after minutely inspecting the covers of several books , wanders out
agam . Miss V. gazes after him with a look of rampantly raging relish.
ACT I.
The bell rings and a clumping of feet and a bang on the door announce
more arrivals. Milton Schmelling pushes Lewis Otto into the room, the latter
objecting strenuously to such treatment.
Miss V.-"Boys! A little less noise."
Lewis-"Aw, he was pushing me."
Millon-"Dontcha believe it, Miss Vandervoort, I only shoved him.
This interesting discussion was dramatically ended by Harold Herzog
bursting into the room with a wild look on his face and his hair on end.

Harold-"Gosh, thot I was late."
Millon-"Calm yourself, Harold. The rooster hasn't started to crow as yet."
Miss V.-"Boys, if I have to speak to you again you will call on Mr.
Tremper."
From then until 8: I 5 there is much wandering in and out of the room.
Finally the bell rings, and a short time latter Jessie Barden and Reuben Goodman stroll in (late as usual). Kenneth signs out for Mr. Ward's room. Everybody looks up and watches him out of the room. (Better patent that gait,
Kenneth, I saw one of the girls practicing it in the cloak room). Miss Vandervoort takes the list of absentees into the office. Pandemonium! Chalk dust!
Whew!
A voice in the class (official warner): "Shut up, kids, she's coming."
Miss V. stands in the door and looks suspiciously at the class. Relief for
the culprits when the assembly is dismissed for class.
Florence-" Marj, did you see him? Isn't he a stunner?"
Lewis- "Say, Milt, did you see that little one with the floppy hat?"
Eihel-"Hurry up, Belle, I've something to tell you."
Marj.-"Florence, going tonite?"
Finally they pass to their classes, and all is peace in room 2 except during
the intervals between classes.
12 o'clock. All subdued. Too hungry for much noise.
Bob trumpets
when blowing his nose. A few giggles. Excused! All rush for the exit.

ACT II
Kenneth is deaf (tho not dumb) to the world in the serious study of stuff
scientific, with which he expects on the morrow to stupefy S. W. Ward into a
state of coma from which he can not recover until the 9 :45 bell rings, and arouses
the class from the pleasant beauty nap which they are accustomed to snatch
during Kenneth's scientifically elucidated lullaby. However, Belle Myers
and Ethel Bisno enter and disturb him with their chatter, and over-worked
Kenneth leaves after throwing them one killing look of disgust.
Cecil Morrow appears and announces" Miss Low and Miss Williams are sore because they weren't told that we
were going to have a class meeting tonite. Now how on earth are we going to
have a class meeting without class advisors?"
Ethel and Belle scatter advice promiscuously, and Art Schaefer and "Bob"
MacElwain appear and enter the general discussion. (By this time they are
arguing that the grass is pink).
Belle spots the following on the board·
"Gabriel, come blow thy horn
The sheep are in the meadow, the cows in the corn."
The laugh's on Bob!
"He, he, he." (Come on m, Gladdie.) And Gladys Bain breaks in,
dragging Jessie. An impromptu vaudeville is staged, Jessie doing the heavy
villain with her "haw, haw, haw," and Gladdie the ingenue with her high
soprano.
The canned music choristers finally leave, and the rest proceed to cram until
classes pass.
Seventh period arrives and most of the class return to Room 2.
Cecil and Milton start a little rough rioting and Miss Vandervoort proceeds
with her daily lecture ending with the statement:
"You will improve with age."

At which Cecil pipes up with "Just like

Stupefied silence follows this and a few seconds later the class is reciting as
usual. (Class motto-"Let the other gink do it.")
The 3 :20 bell rings and sighs of relief are heard from the "parquet."

Epilogue.
Cecil "This meeting is held for the purpose of deciding where our pictures
are to be taken. Cut it, fellows, this is a class meeting.-Come on somebody,
say something. Dot, what about you? Where do you want to go, Marj?"
Dorothy Fink proceeds to put on the gloves with Marjory Young and
Florence Vollmer (she's equal to two), as to where the pictures are to be taken
and Dot squelches them singlehanded in the second round.
Meeting breaks up, and the curtain comes down with the class of mid-' 19
making a speedy getaway.

The Senator's Son
"Say! Have you seen him? He certainly is a peach! Talk about good
looking boys! Well, believe me, I've seen a mob of 'em, but I never saw one
who could hold a candle to him! So strong and manly looking! Gee, "Mad,"
just go take a look- he's in the office talking to Hawkins."
"Well for the love of Mike, who are you raving about now, Genevieve?"
"Why, the new boy, Robert Kendrick, of course!"
"What! Has he come? Thought he wasn't expected till next month."
"So did I, but he's here all right, all right and believe me kid- "
The rest of the sentence was addressed to the atmosphere, and Madeline
was speeding down the cloakroom in the direction of the office. Judging from
the crowd that rushed toward the office, the news had spread throughout the
cloakroom.
"Gee, but he's swell!"
Thus the girls raved on, and the boys as well, though perhaps a trifle less
enthusiastically.
"Honestly, I bet he is a good football player."
"So do I built just like a star."
"Now he really has a lot of class!"
"Ah! I wouldn't give that nutt any welcome!
think he's a mess."
"Why, John!" chorused the crowd in surprise. This was the first slam the
new boy had received, and everyone was surprised to have it come from good,
natural, red-headed, Irish John McGivern.
"Well, I don't care. Who ever heard of any boy wearing spats to school
with an evening collar and black tie!"
"Why," explained one, "you know he went to a fashionable school in Washington, 0. C., and that's the way they all dress there."
"Well, I guess I visited there for about two months and I didn't see anything like that," retorted John.
"Oh, well, of course, I meant in the higher circles of society."
"You! You!
- - * ? * ! ?"choked John.
"My family is just as good
as any one's, even if my father isn't a senator. Besides I heard him say "I done"
about a half a dozen times."
"Ah, well he knows better. Everyone knows that."
So began the first of many fights over the new arrival, in with John took
sides against the whole school.
Two months previous to this, the whole town had almost turned inside out
when it was announced that Robert Kendrick, son of Senator Kendrick, was
coming to spend the winter with his uncle and to attend the Grant High School
in preparation for entering college.
ow, newcomers were few in Grant, and
besides Robert was the son of a Senator. Two weeks later, before Grant had
hardly time to recover enough from the announcement and make preparations
for the arrival of the stranger, Mr. Robert suddenly appeared, saying he had
come on alone to get started in his work before his parents came to visit him.
Well, the school certainly did lose its head over him. For two weeks after
his arrival he was busy getting "knock downs" to all the girls. He had a date

[ S3]

every night in the week. It was rumored that two sisters had already come to
blows over him and Genevieve Peterson, who hitherto had been considered
John's particular girl, now left him cold and went steadily with Robert.
John's
sarcastic remarks about Robert's silly flirty way and improper grammar were
therefore called pure jealousy.
Suddenly things began to happen which diverted a little of the attention
from Robert. It all began, when one evening the boys opened their lockers to
find that some jersey sweaters, shoes and other articles were missing .
The
police were called in, teachers turned detectives , and Mr. Hawkins, the prin
cipal, did his best to discover the thief, but no clue was found. Shortly aferwards there was another epidemic of kleptomanism. Again there was great
excitement, and more effort to find the thief. Two weeks later several stick
pins were actually "lifted" from the boys' neckties. Things were getting
alarming.
Then John's watch was stolen from his coat pocket. The awful thing about
the affair was the fact that John saw Robert reaching into his pocket and openly
accused him of the theft. The idea! As Robert explained, he only took a
pencil which he wanted and wished to borrow. Why what in the world would a
rich man's son want with John's cheap Ingersoll? Of course, everyone knew
that John was madly jealous of Robert because he had asked Genevieve to go
to the Prom with him, but no one thought John would go so far as to accuse an
innocent boy of a theft. John was severely censured by both the students and
teachers for his action.
Then came the never-to-be-forgotten day of tragic ending. At noon, it was
discovered that someone had robbed the school safe of three hundred dollars,
the proceeds of a minstrel given by the school in which Robert Kendrick had
made such a sensation. The whole town was wild. Mysterious conferences
were held in the office all afternoon, while excited groups of teachers and pupils
hung around outside. Then the climax came. At about three minutes before
time for school to close Robert Kendrick was called to the private office of the
principal. At about two minutes before closing time Mr. Kendrick hurried
into the office accompanied by a homely, freckle-faced, percified boy. At the
close of school Mr. Kendrick announced, "That is not my son- he is my
chauffer's son."
"This is my son," pointing to the little Percy.
And at one
minute past four a boy was being very roughly escorted by two policemen from
the Grant High School.
And in conclusion, Miss Genevieve Peterson almost danced a "straight"
with John Conway at the Prom, while the real Robert Kendrick was not even
there!

Just a Story
,. ,. ,.

was traveling through the Mediterranean countries with my parents. We
stopped in Egypt a few weeks, and vis· ted some of the renowned places there.
The Nile proved very attractive to us; so we decided to take a trip down the
river by moonlight. You can well imagine how romantic that would be. We
boarded a pleasure boat or barge, as the natives call them, with a number of
other tourists aboard, and started down the river. It was a warm, tropical
night; the moon was out full and there was not a sound to be heard. Cold
chills were constantly running up my spine, it was so romantic and beautiful.
In the distance I could just see the vague outline of the Sphinx and the pyramids. I stood by the rail of the deck dreaming when suddenly I heard a masculine voice saying:
"Pardon, mademoiselle, but will you not have a chair."
I was frightened at first, but gradually gained courage to look around.
saw a tall, athletic young man with black hair, dark eyes, as nearly as I could
distinguish in the dark, and a small black mustache. His appearance was
splendid, and altogether he looked the original Beau Brummel.
"Thank you," I said, and took the proferred seat.
I thought the young man would leave at this, but he still lingered about.
He approached me again, and said:
"Pardon, mademoiselle, may I have the pleasure of talking to you? I am
very lonesome.''
He looked at me appealingly and since my mother was not in sight, I consented. I realized that he was a Frenchman, but he spoke English exceedingly
well. He explained that his mother was dead and that his father was always
busy with his affairs. He had no sisters or brothers.
"Are you a tourist, or is your work here?" I asked.
" I have been traveling for the past year. I spent some time in England
and some in the United States. I fought two years in the war, and had just
graduated from college when the war began. I expect to take up my work
soon. But now, mademoiselle, tell me something of yourself."
"Oh!" I answered, trying to conceal my excitement, "I am just an ordinary
American girl. I graduated from boarding school last June, and my parents
are giving me a trip through Europe as a reward, although I did not distinguish
myself in my studies. Dancing, music, and golf are my favorite amusements."
"I am fond of dancing, too," Monsieur said, casting admiring glances at me
as he spoke.
"I hope you will not think me egotistical, but people considered
me the best dancer at college."
"Really!" I exclaimed. "How wonderful! That is a great honor, isn't it?"
"I am glad you think so, mademoiselle."
Our conversation for the evening ended with this, for everyone had retired.
The next day when the boat had returned to Cairo, and I was resting at the
hotel, I saw the Frenchman again. He was much more hand ome than I had
thought, and all eyes were centered upon him. My curiosity was arou ed. and
I wondered what his name could be, but I did not dare be o bold a to a k anyone. Moreover, no one seemed to know.

[ 55

That afternoon, I was surprised to receive a note from him asking me to
drive with him. It was signed, "Le monsieur of the boat." I was eager to
go, and finally, after explaining the situation to my mother, gained her consent.
I answered his note and signed myself "The girl on the boat." I walked to the
lobby of the hotel and met the "monsieur." He was more attractive than ever
in a white sport outfit. He escorted me to his car, a little runabout, though
one of these powerful looking automobiles that only millionaires' sons own.
We talked about everything but ourselves that afternoon, and often there was
a dead silence. I did not mind it, however, for I was contented just to be
sitting beside him. We returned to the hotel in time for dinner and I hurried
to my room.
The next day I saw nor heard anything of him, but he was the subject of
much discussion at the hotel, for everyone was eager to know him. The
following day, however, I again received a note from him, asking me to drive
with him and signed just as before. I hastily answered "yes," for it was a
triumph for me to be with him since all of the girls at the hotel were curious
about him, and were eyeing me enviously.
"It is a great pleasure to be with you, mademoiselle," he said when I met
him. "I hope I do not bore you."
"Oh no, not at all."
'Tm going to my villa in Florence next week to stay for a time.
wish that you were going, mademoiselle."

I sincerely

"Perhaps I will see you there. I have a distant relative who has a villa
there, he is a second or third cousin I believe, but I have never seen him."
"What is his name?" Monsieur asked curiously. "It may be that I know
him."
"Jean Milet," I answered.
"Jean Milet! What!-what do you mean? I am Jean Milet."
"You-you Jean Milet-my cousin?" I gasped.
"Isabelle, Isabelle-are you awake? It is time for you to get up."
"What? Oh yes, mother, I'm awake."
"Oh dear, now it is all spoiled. Still, I am rather glad of it for it would be
terrible if he were my cousin," I thought. "My whole life would be ruined."

The Quest of the Haunted House
For many years a vacant house stood in the center of a large clearing on
the outskirts of Algoma.
Tenant after tenant had moved away with whispered tales of strange things
that had happened there at the dead of night. These rumors caused no small
amount of speculation among the nearby residents. So one night a party of
young men went to the house with the avowed intention of solving the mystery.
The leading spirit in the enterprise was Ray Emerson, a young man well
know in that part of the neighborhood for his pluck and daring. The party,
four in number, provided themselves with a folding table, camp chairs, and

I 56 I

playing cards in order to pass the hours of what might prove tiresome vigil.
The hour of midnight was chosen as the most fitting time to make their descent
upon the suspected dwelling.
A little before that time, on the night in question, the adventurous quartette might have been seen at their tryst. The dark, deserted house presented
a forbidden a'ipect, and two of the party seemed · nclined to call a halt in the
undertaking. But young Emerson paid no attention to their remarks and
walked unhesitatingly up the decayed steps.
"Give me the lantern, boys, and strike a light," he said in cool, even tones.
A match flared up, and its first rays revealed the front door slightly ajar.
Emerson abruptly pushed it open, and a strong cold, draught of musty odor
came in response. The others drew back, but their leader did not hesitate.
Into the hall he passed, and soon the trembling three joined him in what had
been the dining room. Here they arranged their table and chairs, awaiting
further orders.
"We'll go through the entire house at once," Emerson commanded in a
low voice.
He resolutely mounted the creaking steps that led upstairs, the others following in his wake. He had provided himself with a bunch of pass keys, and
once a room was inspected, he locked the door. The second floor yielded no
results, and the party descended to the main floor where each room was closely
scrutinized and then locked in the same manner. A journey to the basement
revealed nothing but a few empty barrels and broken boxes.
The four men, satisfied that their investigation was thorough, returned to
the dining room, where some cards were produced and a game undertaken by
the light of the lantern.

It was a stormy night, and as their game progressed, the wind rose. Presently the loud bang of a loose shutter brought one of the players to his feet.
The other men laughed and Emerson jollied them about their nerves.
As the storm increased in violence the game dropped by common consent.
A low, dwindling conversation was kept up, but for the most part, ears were
strained to distinguish the queer sounds that now seemed all about.
"Quite a storm," admitted Emerson at the close of an hour, "perhaps we'd
better--Great guns! Listen!"
From the black gap that marked the entrance of the stairway came a mournful sound for which no wind could have been responsible.
Then an unmistakable s lam, as though something had violently bumped
against a wa 1 or door upstairs, advised the watchers that they had something
other than the tempest to deal with.
"Come on, boys, now is our chancel" wispered Emerson, picking up the
lantern. He was up the stairs ahead of the rest, but stood stock still at the top.
When the others came up he pointed in the direction from which he thought
the noise had come. They unlocked one or two doors and hastily glanced
around, but failed to see any material object in the gloomy light. They quietly
ret eated to the dining room again.
"Deal the cards," jerked out the leader, "we must not let this get on our
nerves."

[ 57 J

But scarcely had the cardboards Auttered to the table, when a shriek went
up from the head of the stairway a shriek so terrible and inhuman that it
blanched every face save that of the intrepid Emerson. Without a moment's
hesitation, he leaped for the stairway with an exultant yell. Up he went, his
lantern bobbing at his side. When his companions caught up, he was again
staring at the doors of the rooms which he had just investigated.
"No one inside," he said quietly after he had again glanced inside the doors.
The others looked about with fear-laden glances.
"How was it done?" chattered one young fellow.
"We'd better get out of here," muttered another. "Human beings can be
seen, but the h ng that
"Shut it!" growled Emerson. "We'll go down stairs again and wait." He
closed the doors and relocked them.
Some ten minutes passed in the dining room before there was another
manifestation. Then, of a sudden, there came a sudden wrangle of clamorous
voices from the upper corridor. There were weird moans and cries culminating
in a terrific hub-bub as if every door in the house had been opened and slammed.
Then silence.
"Once more, boys," cried Emerson, paralyzed for the moment by the unearthly din. But he found no followers. Alone he bounded into the hall and
up the stairs. This time he determined to examine all the rooms. When he
stopped n front of one door, he barely distinguished a low, dying whine from
inside, and as he unlocked t and drew it slightly open, a heavy object fell heavily
to the floor in one corner of the room
Yet, as he reached to throw the door
wide a terrific blast of cold air struck him, whisked off his hat, nearly put out
the lantern and almost choked him. He clutched at the knob of the door to
draw it shut but even as he did so, the door was torn from his grasp and violently slammed shut.
By this time the boys were with him. Emerson slowly drew the door open
again and all four entered. In one corner of the room the light revealed an
enormous dead tom-cat with the greater part of his tail securely caught in a
large trap fastened to the wall.

Maida's Conquest
Maida gasped!
Two o'clock and she had her dress to put on. All morning she had fussed, fixing her hair in a hundred different styles until she had
found one that was becoming. Besides that she had done innumerable other
things, and now at two o'clock she wasn't ready. With an exclamation of dismay she slipped into her best white dress and after a quick dab 3.t her little nose
with the powder puff, she hurried down the steps and onto the front porch.
She looked expectantly up and down the street and then uttered a sigh of relief.
She was on time. After arranging the pillows on the top step, she seated herself with careless carefulness and with bored indifference picked up a book and
started to read. She made a pretty picture as she sat there patiently waiting.
She was just eighteen, of medium height and rather slender. Her complexion

[ 58)

was fair and was set off by a crown of black curls. When she raised her drooping eyelids, a pair of black, snapping eyes looked hungrily down the street.
She sighed:
"Maybe he won't come."

And dropped her eyes to the book.

Footsteps outside the gate made her start and look with a dreamy smile at
the passing figure, who, with the faintest suspicion of a smile, tipped his hat.
He was tall and strong, wonderfully good-looking, and when he tipped his hat
there showed brown hair. In white Rannels with a blue coat he was, indeed, a
knight of any girl's dream. He had just moved into the neighborhood, and for
that faint smile had Maida worked all morning
He passed by, and Maida
went into the house satisfied.
After many such days, Maida, accidentally, of course, happened to be picking Rowers near the gate when the handsome stranger came along, and naturally he stopped to watch her
Maida was very confused and though she knew
she ought to say something her voice was lost. After a few minutes
"Nice weather," annouced the stranger.
"Yes," faintly.
"Wonderful Rower garden."
"Oh yes, we are very fond of Rowers."

Pause.

"Would you like one?"

"Thank you." Another one of those terrible pauses fell between them. She
thought desperately. Why didn't he say something? Oh, how she wished he
would go. Finally he did go. and Maida drew a breath of relief immediately
followed by one of regret. How wonderful he was, she mused; he must be only
about twenty-five. She would invite him in some evening, she blushed, after
they became better acquainted.
Several more wonderful days passed in which the two got to know each
other better. All Maida talked about was "Mr. Calin this," and "Mr. Calin
that," and "Such a pretty name." Her poor parents were nearly distracted.
And then, day of days! she invited him to call that evening and he promised.
The evening was divine, Maida was charming and the two had a delightful
time. After he left Maida wondered over a few remarks that he had let drop,
but soon she went to bed and to sleep and the next morning the troublesome
remarks were forgotten.
But one day they came rushing back and she feared her heart would stop
beating. It was a week after that wonder night, and Mr. Calin was coming
down the street. There was a young man about nineteen or twenty with him,
they looked like brothers, and between them was a youngster of three or four.
She thought rapidly. It was true. Mr. Calin opened the gate. and the three
came up to the porch where she sat. She rose, with a smile of welcome and
offered them seats, The little boy had been \vatching her intently and then
with a grunt, he placed his hand in hers and said,
"I likes you, and my daddy think you are a nice young lady."'
Maida tr ed to laugh. but it eemed as if the world turned b'.ac ·
wanted to scream, or anything. Mr. Calin aughed.

A Good Example
" Chub!"
Chub , glancing up, saw his roommate, William Blake, rushing into the
room , for all the world like a young cyclone , with face alight , and eyes glowing
with excitement.
"What's the good news?" asked Chub , "rich uncle died and-"
Keep still a minute , Chub , will you , and listen , interrupted Bill, breathlessly ,
"She's coming. Do you hear? coming! She' ll be here for commencement.
Oh . boy. She's some-"
"Where does it hurt the most?" inquired Chub, with exaggerated anxiety .
"It didn ' t seem as though you were very well this morning , but if I had known
that the case would have developed so badly , I certainly should have done
something for you ."
"Aw, shut up," growled Bill.
Resuming his natural tone of voice, Chub came down to the point. "You ' re
a nut , Bill , to make such a fool of yourself over a girl. They're all alike and
what does a fellow gain by it, anyway? Why don't you take me for example?
I daresay, the girls would be glad enough to have me , but I never expect to
as long as I live."
Bill, who was calm by this time , shook his head wisely-"Just wait until
you see Adele Morgan."
"Oh, I 'II wait," Chub responded indifferently.
Several days elapsed . Miss Morgan had come, had seen, had conquered
Chub, he who had been prepared to scoff , had remained to worship , and incidentally , to indulge profusely in many of the hither to-scorned masculine
vanities .
Just now , he was endeavoring to fasten on one of Bill ' s stiff collars , the like
of which he himself did not posse~s. having always worn soft collars. If you
have never seen a young man struggling unsuccessfully to adjust a collar that
just and only just fits, I assure you that you have missed a rare sight. Some

I 60 I

of the stunts executed, some of the absurd postures procured, would make many
an acrobat stare in amazement, and some of the words expressed and invented,
would make even a king of "cussers" sit up and take notice.
Chub was no exception to the general rule of young men trying unsuccessfully to adjust their collars. He was surprised in this state by Bill.
"A-ha," chuckled that personage, goodnaturedly, "I recognize the symptoms. I knew you couldn't stay immune from the disease very long, with so
many pretty girls here for commencement. Fess up, who is she?"
Chub turned upon Bill fairly glaring, "Darn you, why don't you buy collars
a fellow can put on, and stop jabbering?"
Bill stared at his friend for one short minute, and then sat down and laughed
until he was crimson in the face, and then laughed some more. He was in high
spmts. Why shouldn't he be, when the only girl in the world was in town, and
he had an engagement with her that afternoon? The idea of Chub raging at
him because his collar didn't fit Chub, struck him as "rich."
By this time, Chub's exasperation had reached the limit, and he was bent
on revenge. Assuming an air of indifference, he turned to his roommate and
said, "If you'll put this collar on for me, I'll tell you who the girl is."
Bill responded readily. When he had accomplished the difficult task, he
demanded that Chub fulfill his half of the agreement.
Chub hesitated. "Well," he said finally, "I hate to tell you, because I
don't think you will be exactly pleased. The fact is-but, really, I couldn't
help it-"
Bill was becoming apprehensive.
"Go on," he said uneasily.
"Well, you see, it's-it's Miss Morgan."
"Adele," gasped Bill, his high spirits declining with a start. He sat down
this time overcome by weakness.
"And you're going out with her now?" he asked, incredulously. Chub's
nod of assent, he suddenly recovered himself, and stood erect, ''I'll be hanged
if you do," he declared.
"That wouldn't be such a bad idea," said Chub, wickedly, "It would be a
pretty easy way to get rid of the third party, savvy?" and leisurely donning his
coat and new straw hat, he brushed past his chum and out of the door, leaving
Bill in stunned silence.
Outside the room, Chub laughed softly to himself. "I guess we're square
now," he thought.
Alone in the room, Bill's heart was filled with despair, deep and bitter.
What was the use of being so blissfully happy, only to have it end like this,
he reflected. After all, Chub was right; girls were all alike. one j.ust a fickle
as the other. He smiled grimly, to think that Chub, who had warned him.

him was unbelievable.

"Dear Adele," before this happened, I had a heart, a soul, and a conscience.
Now, since you turned traitor to our love, I have none. I shall always think
of you, and shall strive to forgive, but, I can never forget.
Yours sincerely,
WILLIAM ROBERT BLAKE.
"There," he sighed.
It was almost a stisfaction to have that part over. He pictured how overcome with remorse Adele would be, and almost felt sorry for her. Then he set
out for the hotel where Adele was staying with her aunt, to get one last glimpse
of the place which had sheltered her.
As he walked slowly along, his eyes on the ground, sadly nursing his grievance, he became aware that he had bumped into someone.
"Oh, I beg your-," why, it was Adele, and she was saying, "What made you
so late, Bill? Your due at least a half hour ago."
"Was I?" blankly.
"Of course, you silly boy, and remember, Bill you promised to take me
through the gymnasium, and there's so much I want to see in this town. Why
were you late?"
Bill's mind was bewildered. "Where's Chub?" he asked dully.
"That's just like you, Billy-boy," replied Adele, with a dazzling smile, to
always be worrying about someone. Chub, as you call him, is well able to take
care of himself; at least, that's the impression I have from what I have seen of
him. Why worry?"
Bill searched her face. But she looked innocent enough, and oh, how
pretty. The pale green voile dress she wore looked so well with her light curly
hair, and fair complexion.
So he gave up trying to figure out the mystery and decided to enjoy himself
while the enjoying was good. Just as he was succeeding in doing this, and had
convinced himself that Chub had only played a joke on him, whom should he
see walking down the street, but Chub, and-, but it couldn't be Adele. Why,
Adele was walking with him, William Blake.
Turning to her, he pleaded, "Are you two people, am I dreaming, or only
your ghost?"
Adele laughed, a wholesome laugh, which one would hardly associate with
that of a ghost.
"Oh, Bill, you're too funny," she gasped, "didn't I ever tell you that I had
a twin sister?"
"Twin sister?"
Those two words carried tons of weight off of Bill's mind. He was grinning
now. The world was such a good place to live in. He forgot that he had ever
cherished a grievance against anyone in the wide world, not even Chub, God
bless him!
As he and Adele passed Chub and Adeline he greeted his roommate with a
jovial "Hello there, Chub. You haven't forgotten that good example you were
supposed to set for me, have you?"
Chub looked at Adeline, and then at Adele and laughed knowingly. "That's
just what I'm doing, and you don't even realize that you've been following
it a ll the time."

"And They Lived Happily Ever After"
Dorothy Argard was a real American girl. She had w eal thy pare nts and
many suitors. Half a dozen times she thought she was in love and the n
discovered much to the other party's dismay that she wasn ' t .
'Tm sorry, Pen ," she said to one of them , "but I'd be able to live with you
just about one month. It can ' t be done ."
Every afternoon she took a s pin in her little gray roadster. One afternoon
she drove farther than she had intended to . About five miles from town she
ran out of gas .
"Well, this is a fine fix. I've heard a good many jokes about people running out of gas, but this is my first experience. Oh, dear! I suppose I might
just as well sit still and wait ."
She got out of the car and glanced up and down the road. but there was
not another car in sight, in fact, it looked as though there might not be one for
some time.
What was that? Yes, it certainly was a noise . She looked back. A
little cloud of dust was rising from the roadway. It came nearer, and she
saw that it was a roadster. She got out of her car and stood in the middle
of the road. The car stopped a few feet in front of her, and a young man
stepped out.
"What's the trouble? Had a breakdown?"
"I'm all out of gas, and quite some distance from town, as you see."
"If you think you can steer your car, I can tow you to the nearest filling
station. I have a good rope in my car."
"Oh, will you? I'd be awfully much obliged if you would ."
The young man fastened the rope to the two cars and they started.
t the
filling station he handed her a card and on it was printed:
MR. J. E. CARR.
"Thank you very much , Mr. Carr. I haven't a card with me, but my name
is Dorothy Argard."
After this incident Dor saw Mr. Carr several times.
In fact he oon
came to have regular appointments with him at the Rus ian Tea Room . It
was so delightful to sit in a cozy corner next to him, with the oft fragrance o
perfumed cigarettes floating lazily through the air. These were the happie t
hours of her life, and she looked forward to each meeting with added intere t .
One day the household was in an uproar. The market was changing and
steel was falling. All the money Mr.
rgard had wa inve ted in teel.
If
it continued to drop, the
rgard were ruined . Then 1r .
rgard had .
what she thought, a wonderful idea. \ hy not let Dorothy marry ome

m
the end divorce."

I ·1

But mother ran the house and its occupants and so long as it was she who
had decided the course of action it would have to be carried out.
Dorothy was despondent. What could she do? It had now arrived at the
stage where she hated all the wealthy folks who came to see her. Then came
her brilliant idea. Jack had proposed to her. Why not consent to marry
him and elope. Yes, this certainly was the only course. The more she thought
of it the better she liked the idea , and Jack. It was Wednesday afternoon,
the afternoon for her weekly meeting with Jack at the Tea Room. She
changed her dress, put on her hat, and motor coat and started for the Tea
Room. Jack was there to meet her and together they entered and sat at a
secluded. table.
"I suppose you want my answer, don't you? Well, it's 'yes,' on one
condition."
"I accept under any con di ti on."
"The condition is that you elope with me tomorrow night. Don't look
surprised, I mean it
Are you willing?"
"Am I willing? Dorothy, I'd go now if you wanted me to."
They left the Tea Room and started for town. Dorothy went home and
tried to act natural, but found it very difficult. She never before realized
how much in love she was. Jack went to several places so that everything
would be in working order the following night. He also visited a jewelry
store and bought two rings .
The next day Dorothy went shopping in the morning and after lunch tried
to sleep a little. If she had not been so excited this might have been possible,
but in her present state of nervous tension it was impossible.
At six o'clock she dressed for dinner and managed to struggle through the
meal without making any breaks. Immediately after dinner she went to
her room and packed two bags with a few necessaries, and fussed around
getting ready. At nine o'clock she heard a whistle. She ran to the window.
Against the side of the house below the window was a ladder and at the bottom
stood Jack. Dorothy opened the window.
"Everything is ready, dear. It's nine o'clock and time we got started."
"Yes, I'm all ready. I'll throw down my bags. Just one- ." A knock
sounded on the door. Dorothy closed the window, threw her hat, coat and
bags under the bed, put on a negligee and went to the door.
There stood her mother.
"You've been so quiet up here that I thought something might be wrong.
Is anything the matter?"
o, mother, I have a slight headache and I was just about to go to bed."
"Oh, I see. But my dear, it's fearfully warm in here. I'll open the window."
Oh! Horrors! She went to the window where Jack was and opened it.
At the bottom of the ladder other things were happening. The night
watchman had walked in within thirty feet of Jack. He was nearly petrified.
When he looked up at the window he saw someone and was just about to speak
when he discovered that it was Mrs. A. He ducked behind a bit of shrubbery
and waited.
Mrs. A. was not easily gotten rid of, especially now that Dorothy was
in such a rush to have her leave. She stayed around and talked, advised

[ 64]

Dorothy to take several things for her headache and after a half an hour she
left the room.
Dorothy was afraid that Jack might have exhausted his patience and gone
but after calling down to him she soon saw that all was well.
She threw her bags to him and literally slid down the ladder int:> Jack's
arms to receive the reward which comes from every engagement-a little ring
for the third finger of her left hand and an extended impression on her pretty
lips.
"I thought that probably you might have gone," were the first words she
was able to gasp between breaths.
"Leave you? Never. I'd have waited till Doomsday."
They picked up the bags, got into the car and started for the minister.
Half an hour later they were united as man and wife. They spent the night
at a hotel and the next morning went home to receive the parental blessing.
Mrs. Argard was shoc!(ed beyond words when she first heard of it. but
she was soon won over. Mr. Argard was happy beyond words. Jack had
been in his employ for over a year and had done splendid work. Mr. Argard,
however, had not known that Jack and Dorothy knew each other, much less
that they were in love.
While they were talking the door bell rang. Mr. Argard went to the door,
the servants having been dismissed for the evening. A telegram was handed
to him. He opened it. The contents were:
"Steel going high. Big clearing. Will sell all possibl~." B1c & LITTLE, Brokers.

Captain Billy's Protege
"Am sending Jeanne, a French orphan over on the Blue Ridge," read Mrs .
Proctor slowly and distinctly in order that the three small boys clustered around
her might clearly understand.
"Well, for the !ova' Mike, a gurl," shouted Jimmy, the eldest of the three.
"She'll have to play with Cecil; he's such a sissy, anyhow," commented Joe,
the while giving his small brother a vicious poke in the ribs.
"Ain't neither a sissy, and when I'm big I'll lick you all to pieces," cried
Cecil, vindictively, shaking his small fists at his brother.
"Children, children, do be quiet," said Mrs. Proctor coming out of her day
dreams with a start.
"I think it will be lovely to have a real little French girl, and we must start
getting things ready for her at once."
Accordingly, the Proctor household was in continual uproar for the next week.
The boys, as Joe expressed it, ''most ran their legs off'' going on errands. A dainty
room all in pink and white was prepared for the newcomer, and various toys were
scraped together. Mrs. Proctor contributed a doll to the general fund and it
certainly was a beauty, just the kind of doll that every little girl longs for. There
were also Teddy bears, wooly dogs, books, and innumerable other things.
At last everything was ready and there was nothing to do but to wait with
as much patience as possible for little Jeanne's arrival.
s the Blue Ridge wa a
fruit vessel it made very slow progress. and the three small boy began to grow im-

[ 65]

patient for the arrival of the''Gurl,'' as Jimmy called her. Day after day and finally
a whole week went by, and still there was no news of the expected ship. The
Proctor family began to grow anxious as they were afraid the vessel was torpedoed.
At last they received news that the ship was in Boston harbor, and that Billy's
orphan would arrive the next day. The excitement which had somewhat abated
during the long wait quickly reached the boiling point again, and by night Mrs.
Proctor was thoroughly exhausted from efforts to curb her small sons' wild spirits.
The next morning the family rose early, the boys responding with promptness (for about the first time in their lives) to their mother's call. Their faces
were scrubbed until they shone, and Sunday suits, shoes and stockings were
donned with great care, at least, with great care for normal healthy boys.
Finally it was time to go to the depot and as the three boys, with their
father and mother stood waiting on the platform some of their boys' old
aversions for a mere "gurl" began to return. The train pulled into the station
and as it came to a standstill a small boy piloted by the conductor advanced
toward the Proctors.
"That's us," cried Jimmy, "but we thought he," pointing to Jean, "was a
girl." Billy had misspelled the name by accident, and thus the Proctors were
given a real surprise party.

Something Unusual
had been the foreman on John C. Buchanan's ranch in Montana for four
years; and as I was thirty-two years of age, I thought that I was too old to get
the gold fever, or any of the other fevers, to which a man under twenty-five
years is subject. Then one night I changed my mind. On the afternoon of
the 26th of November, 1914, the most exciting thing I ever expected to do was
ride in a sheriff's posse; and on the 27th I rode away to enter the greatest game
ever played THE EUROPEAN WAR.
On the 26th an old friend of Buchanan's arrived at the ranch for a visit
with the boss. He had driven overland in a car made at the factory of which
he was general manager. I liked this man. I liked his looks and his manner;
and I admired his superior education. I liked him because he made himself
one of us. He brought with him a roll of papers and magazines the size of a
pillow. That evening we all sat around the fire and read, for new magazines
are rare in Bitter Gulch and the surrounding country.
Suddenly, the boss exclaimed,'' Great Snakes!" (This was not surprising as he
always indulged in this expression when he was surprised.) I kept on reading.
"Great Snakes!" repeated the boss, "look at this, Pete." Handing me a copy of
The London Illustrated ews, open at the "Roll of Honor" page, he pointed
to a large picture in the center of the page. Below the picture I read:
"Major James C. Chester, 0. S. O.; Y. C. Second Life Guards.
Died of wounds received in action ov. 3rd. Only son of Mrs. M. S.
Chester, Walter's Park, London."
I rubbed my eyes and looked again; but there was no denying it-it was
Jimmy Chester, who had ridden our range for two years, and had been my very
best friend. He had been the finest man on the range-thus winning the ti tie,
"the only gentleman on the place." In the middle of August, he had left the

[ 66]

ranch, explaining that he was needed at home, but would soon return. The
thought that he would never return sickened me; and I went to my room
where I sat and thought of all the grand things he had done. Always my
thoughts returned to those two letters, "V. C." I was sure that they had been
won by deeds of kindness probably rescuing wounded. I also surmised that
while doing this rescue work, he had been fired upon and had died from the
wounds.
Taking the supposition that he was helping wounded to be the truth, I
concluded that he had been murdered. The blood rushed to my head I was
overcome by an impulse I had never before felt. Jimmy had been my friend.
I must avenge him. I ran downstairs and yelled: "Mr. Buchanan, tomorrow
I leave for Canada."
'Tm glad so,r.ebody's going," s:i.id the boss, ''I've decided to send a little
money to his mother she'll need it."
At this point, Andy Quin (who never got excited about anything) calmly
announced, "Guess I 'II g:J alon~ and see that Pete behaves."
"If you two boys can start to-morrow, we'll all go together," said the Boss's
friend, whose name was Pinkerton. I was delighted to find that he was going;
and the next morning the three of us left the ranch to enter the service of a
country to which we owed no allegience.
Arriving at one of the Canadian cities, first over the border, we all enlisted
in the Fifth Western Horse, a Cavalry Regiment, that was later dismounted.
After training in Canada at Valcartier, and in England at Aldershot, we arrived
on the western front late in the Winter of 1914-1915. We fought, brigaded
with th British Imperial Troops (or what was left of them) for a time; and
then, early in April, the whole Canadian Contingent was transferred to the
Ypres salient the key to the channel ports.
One day, just after the offensive was started by the enemy (who hoped to
gain the channel ports), Pinkerton and I were chosen, with two Canadians,
for dangerous service. After shaking hands with Andy Quin, we found the
Officer and set out, carrying a machine gun and five thousand rounds of ammunition, rifles, and intrenching tools.
As we trudged along, the Officer (a
young Scotchman- whose regiment had been annihilated) gave us our orders.
We were to advance to a certain bridge, hold it until three o'clock the next
afternoon, and then return, if we were alive at three o'clock. Artillery was
expected to use the road, as it was in good condition.
Infantry was not expected along the road as there was a shorter route. If the artillery did not
advance, the infantry would be helpless.
We reached the bridge and dug ourselves in. Then we waited through the
afternoon, all night, and until three o'clock the next afternoon. The Lieutenant walked across the bridge and up the next hill. He surveyed the road ahead
thru his glasses, and returned saying, "A think we mout a' well be oon our
way.
o we packed up our guns and started. At the top of the second hill,
which was very high, we stopped, and each gazed thru the glasses at the Rat
country beyond the bridge.
Each made the same report. About six miles
beyond the bridge, rode about fifty Uhlans; two miles behind, came a company consisting of four guns; then another long interval, and more troops,

Special Mention
There are certain members of the Annual Staff,
who, we feel, deserve a special mention for their
labor . They are students who put in extra time, and
often worked aturdays and undays as well as every
day after school and many evenings, in order that this
book might come out on time and be the kind of a
book we hoped to have this year. To these students
we wish to extend our heartiest appreciation of their
work and thank them accordingly.

Kenosha High School Alumni Association
In June, 1891, occured the memorable event of the formation of the Kenosha
High School Alumni Association.
Previous to that date, a'.l reunions of
classes and school members had been of a very desultory character, generally
having occurred at the instigation of some enterprising class me n'.>er who decided to call together his or her particular group of mates in order t:> live over
for a few hours the welll-remembered school days .
But a larger "get together" spirit had been growing, and th ~ des ire for a mo re
general gathering which should include all forme r students of K e nosha High
School. culminated in the calling of the first Alumni meeting on June 13, 1891 .
As the idea was new, and possibly the preliminary work of invitations and
announcements was not well organized , a comparatively small number of exstudents responded , only about sixty-five persons being present. But what a
notable sixty-five! To my girl's mind it was as though half 0f the heroes of
history had suddenly come to life and sauntered into the room, regudless o r
synchrony of time or place, when I beheld for the first time many of the schoolday heroes of whom my mother had so frequently and so favorably spo\en.
When Joe Quarles, Will English , Anna Gillett, Jim Hannan, Dennis Hynes,
Will Shepard, Lee Fellows and others met to greet each other and to exte:d a
welcome to "our class." I truly felt that the beginning of fame was at hand.
Surely, no Alice in Wonderland ever stalked about in more wondering mood
than I on that day. As a whole, the meeting was a great success, both in enjoyment of those present, and in the enthusiasm with which the members proceede.:I
about the formal business of forming an association. Annual meetings were
decided upon, and tried for a few years with but qualified success. Then was
inaugurated the rather dubious plan of having alternate meetings of the Association occur in Chicago, since next to Kenosha, Chicago claimed the largest
numbers of old school members . Accordingly in 1894 the Alumni Meeting
was called for the Sherman House, Chicago, but the setting was not right, for
an Alumni Meeting without the background of High School Grounds and
Kenosha was an anomaly and predestined to failure. This Chicago hegira
was, however, followed by an ultra-successful reunion in Kenosha in the following year, 1895, when Kenosha fairly outdid herself to welcome back her
wandering 1--oys and girls. The weather was propitious, the Rowers and foliage
at their best; in fact Kenosha was knee-deep in June, and the guests with which
the "The Old Familiar Place" was sung showed that the prodigals' wanderings
were ended, and that Home, Sweet Home was the dearest spot of all. Colonel
McMynn appeared on the program; Lily Runals sang; George W arvelle toasted
the Kenosha Club in Chicago, an organization which had sprung up as an offshoot of the Alumni, but which died a natural death at the end of its second
season.
Oh, it was a glorious meeting!
In 1897 the program for reunion took the character of old time Friday afternoon exercises, and with Jim Pettit for principal, a very realistic (or was it a
burlesque?) reproduction of the old school company day was given, with each
of the performers contributing again some gem that had served originally to
give pleasure on a Friday afternoon of thirty, forty or nearly fifty years before.

[ 69 !

Can any one who heard it, ever forget Mary George Robinson's Essay, "Spring,"
or Charlie Parish's "Tribute to Webster", or Frank Lyman's "Nothing to
Wear?" It truly was a worth while meeting of a kind never to be forgotten.
Another meeting that stands out in bold relief is that of 1911, when we all
joined in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the graduation of the first class
from High School.
even out of the nine of the se;ni-centennial class were
present. The program was given by the guests of honor, and even more impressive than the able oratory which fifty graduate years had enabled the men
to favor us with, was the undeniable char;n and keen ability of the two rare
women who were members of the class.
o program ever prepared by the
Association has excelled in tone, timber or presentation that given by the first
class of graduates from the Kenosha High chool. They truly set a standard
high for succeeding classes to emulate.
Thus have the meetings gone glac!some, joyous, sad with always Phil
Starkweather for chorus leader, always Harriett Hollister at the organ, and
always, until her lovely voice was stilled forever, Celia English Bailey with
voice lifted in song. Her "Wings of a Dove" bore aloft to the higher ether the
souls of three generations of high school students till, let us h::ipe, they caught
up her own lovely spirit and bore it to realms on high to enjoy the refuge that
earth denied.
The forthcoming Alumni meeting of 1919 anticipates the largest reunion
ever held by the association. Plans are being made to accommodate between
four and five hundred guests, while invitations have been sent to twice that
number. Our boys, and many of our girls, have gone abroad in the great
World War, and many have found fame or death in the great "over there."
To those who gave their lives, we shall pay the perfect tribute of a silent prayer
for their happiness in the greater "Over There!" while to those returning, and
to all fellow schoolmates from other shores we shall extend a doubly joyous
greeting upon the occasion of this the post helium reunion of Kenosha High
School. May we hope to meet you there.
-AucE ToNER STANHOPE

Alumni Service
Those of us who have spent the years from 1914 to 1918 in high school have
watched with envious eyes the achievements of our Alumni whose privilege it
has been to do active service in the Great War. With the rest of the world we
held our breath with intense anxiety until Marshal Foch had enough Americans
in France to begin his great push, and when the time did come we watched
eagerly the progress of our former schoolmates in the drive which seemed to
show the Germans for the first time the meaning of America's preparation.
Not less enthusiastically did we follow the gallant Marines when they stopped
the crack German division at Chateau Thierry and cleaned out the machine
guns from Belleau Woods, now named Bois de la Brigade de Marine. As we
read of our fleet sailing out across the Atlantic to join the British Navy in its
search for submarines, and to help perform the "impossible" task of convoying
to France 2,000,000 men, we recalled with pride the names of our friends in the

l 70 J

Navy. In our quiet class-rooms we often marvelled at the daring spirit of the
Ambulance Corps or at the wonderful patience of the Red Cross Nurse ; but
above all hav we longed to pack up our books and learn to fly with the aviators .
All during the war we have been such enthusiastic and intereste::I admirers
of our boys in service that we are proud to dedicate to them these few pages of
our Annual. We extend a hearty welcome to those who have come back and
grieve sincerely for those who do not return, but whose names will live long
in the memory of our High School.
The following Roll of Honor is as exact as we can make it. We hope it hcis
few mistakes.
Yet the thought comes thrilling through all my pam;
How worthier could he die?
Yea, a loss like that is a glorious gain,
And pitiful proud am I.
For Peace must be bought with blood and tears,
And the boys of our hearts must pay;
And so in our joy of the after-years,
Let us bless them every day.
-Robert Sercice .

Kenosha's Athletics During the Year 1918 -1919

Athletic activities centered mainly in football and basketball. Though the
teams were not so successful as some former K. H. S . teams , their showing was
entirely satisfactory , especially in football; beyond expectations in basketball.
Football practice started in earnest one week after the opening of the fall
term. The outlook for a competent coach was at first exceedingly dark , but
through the strenuous efforts of Mr. Ward , the services of Or. Munsell were
secured . Or. Munsell is a graduate of Marquette University and played fullback on that team during 1910-11-12. We were fortunate , as his worth in
building the team to the high standard displayed throughout the season is
inestimable. We are sorry that Or. Munsell cannot be with us next fall.
The team was built around the old members, "Tony" Schaefer, Floyd Dorsey , Melvin Weeks , and Chris Jensen. The other candidates were Hansen,
Pennefeather, Johnson, Mc eil, Rasmussen, Zimmerman, Gearhart, Herzog,
Schmelling, Vintage , Meyers, Muhlick and Albert Schaefer.
The games of the season follow:

Points scored by opponents, 38; by K. H. S., 64.

Games won, 4; lost, 3.

Because of the Flu epidemic, only seven games were played during the season, school having been closed for three weeks, during which time football prac-

I 76 J

tice was prohibited by the local Board of Health . The first Waukegan game
was played on November 9 , and the school sessions were resumed on the Monday
following. The team went to Waukegan in an untrained condition and consequently lost. But we were out for revenge. We knew we had a better team
and two weeks later when Waukegan came to Kenosha confident of winning,
they met their Waterloo.
The final game of the season was played at Racine. Plans for a home
Thanksgiving game had gone amiss, and as the team was unable to make further arrangements this game was accepted. We were compelled , however , to
permit Racine to play several illegal men (studies , of course) .
The most record breaking of our team's accomplishments this year was the
score against East Division
We had always been beaten by that scho:>l to
the tune of 40 or more to nothing, but this year we held them to a 6-0 score a -:I
advanced the ball to within two feet of their goal.
At the close of the season K's were a warded the following me::t:
Jenson
Schaefer
Meyers
Muhlich
Weeks

Zimmerman

Herzog
Schmelling

On December 20, a dance was given at the Guild Hall to rai e fun:! t o
cover part of the cost of sweaters given to the winners of the K's . Both t he
sweaters and the dance were appreciated very much by the boys. A few wee k
after, the Girls' Lyceum League entertained the team at a very sociable party
held at the school. At this party an impromptu elect' on was held which resulted in Chris Jensen's being elected as captain for the following year. After
a short talk by him football was forgotten ' or another year.

Basket Ball 1918-19
It is a noteworthy fact that the basketball teams representing Kenosha
High School during the past few years compared unfavorably with the football
team of the same year - this year was no exception. To be fran • a di a.strous
season resulted.
Through our inability to secure the Armory, our former training floor, practice was delayed for several weeks, but when it did tart at the Lincoln Sc ool
gymnasium, it started in earnest. Being without a coach--and we orely
needed one for the green material- we made the best of matter by having the
captain, "Rube" Goodman, teach the players and pick the team . Wi h but
two veterans back, no coach, and the new material decidedly green. a ucce fu
team could hardly be expected. However, the team did well dur ng the fir t
games, but when Schaefer and Goodman were graduated we lo t two of our
best players.
The second semester, a new hope dawned on the horizon by ecuring a coach ,
Guy Clark, '13. The mettle of the players were tried and proved by the trenuous work to which the team was subjected to under his control.
. 'oteworthy mention this year belongs to "Tony" Schaefer, "Rube" Goodman, Adolph Meyers, and "Heinie" Zimmerman , for their efforts and wor ',
which were the highest caliber.

During the first semester of this year, the Duo-Sigma was not revived.
However, the club started out the second semester with a good, rousing meeting, at which Yvette Goldberg was elected president; Elmer Milligan, vicepresident; Margaret Pull, secretary, and Edward Peterson, sergeant-at-arms.
After that, the meetings were held, regularly, the first Tuesday of every month.
A great number of people applied for membership in the club, and several were
admitted. The Duo-Sigma has been one of the most prominent clubs in
K. H. S. this year, and bids fair to remain so. Following are the members:

Before the first robin had made its appearance in Kenosha this year, an
evidence of Spring was observed in the fact that the Tennis Club of this school
was organized to get ready for the coming season. Many attempts have
previously been made to organize a club, but these clubs were always shortlived-until last year, when, under the supervision of Miss Nelson, the largest
Tennis Club ever existing in the High School was organized. This club proved
to be very advantageous in securing co-operation of its members to keep the
court clean and to promote an interest in the game throughout the entire
school. This co-operation and enthusiasm still continues.
We regret very much the loss of Miss Nelson as advisor, but we have found
another competent advisor in Miss Welch. At the first meeting, the following
officers were elected:
President- EMERY McNEIL.
Vice-President-HELEN FoGARTY.
Secretary and Treasurer- CARL

Beta Phi Kappa
The boys of K. H. ., who were interested in Science and Physics , organized
a club in 1915 , which they called the Tri-Sigma , whose chief purpose was to
promote an interest in Natural Philosophy.
The present Beta Phi Kappa is a revival of this club , and has an enrollment
of twenty-five members with Mr. Ward as counselor-general. At the first
meeting, the club was organized and the rules of procedure were drawn up .
The officers were elected, Leonard Hahn being chosen President; Antonio
Giannantonio, Vice-President; Emery Mc eil, Treasurer and Secretary; and
Leo Buchman, Sergeant-at-arms. It was decided that a constitution would not
be adopted, but in its place, a set of clear, concise laws was decided upon as
being necessary to the welfare of the club. These laws have proved successful,
and the lack of a constitution is not felt.
The Beta Phi Kappa started with about fifteen members, but on March
17 , nine new members were initiated, and these nine, such as were able, came to
school Tuesday morning, March 18, full-fledged members of the Beta Phi
Kappa.
The club holds its meetings on Friday, and there is good attendance at
every meeting . There is always an interesting and instructive program at
the beginning of each meeting, such topics being presented as wireless telephony,
gas-turbine , welding by electricity, etc. These lectures are sometimes accompanied by experiments and the stereopticon. After the program, the
business is transacted.
The Beta Phi Kappa made its debut into K. H. S. club life by entertaining,
on the night of April 11, the Girls' Lyceum League. The program of the
evening consisted of several lectures, a good lunch, and afterwards a dance,
with music by an improvised orchestra, selected from members of the clubs, who
had musical ability.
Thus the Beta Phi Kappa was organized and recognized
The success of
the club may be attributed to the excellent advice of Mr. Ward, the club's
advisor, and to the individual interest of each member in the work set forth by
the club, and the interest in the welfare of the club itself.

Harold Bentson and his "Packard," that we should show you a picture which

that it is nothing serious. On second thought, we don't believe that Harold

think thou art too ready with thy tests
In this fair(?) school of ours, oh, teacher mine!
We always have 'em. Every time I pine
For peace and quiet where the tired mind rests,
'E'en as the birds rest in their downy nests;
Thou breakest my sweet dreams with some such line
Of talk as this: "Tomorrow is a quiz
On Tom Macauley and the other pests
Who wrote in English and in measured rhyme."
And then we all prepare by cramming along
Until we all have headaches, and the brain
Is filled with knowledge fragments; then we come
And take the test which causes awful pain.
Then when you mark our work you call it bum!

She stands before a mirror and fools with her golden hair;
Then daubs some powder on her nose to make it white and fair.
She pulls and pushes at her skirt and tucks her shirt waist in,
And then unties her necktie to re-clasp her collar pin I
She examines shoes already neat, then manicures her nails;
(She buys her powder by the ton, her cold cream comes in bales).
Then she turns again to the looking glass, bewailing her cruel fate:
"No matter how she hurries, she's always, always late."

Brown of the Overstocked Chemical Company of Waukegan.)
Letter No. 1. Kupfer to Brown.
My Dear Mr. Brown:
On the twenty-sixth of June I will graduate from High School, and during
the summer I will be at liberty to accept a position with your firm. I would
like very much if you would have the position ready for me so as not to waste
any time. If you do not recall my name refer to the Spy Annual Staff and the
necessary references will be given. I am willing to accept $150 to start with.
Yours very truly,
KUPFER.

Letter No. 2. Brown to Kupfer.
My Dear Sir:
Your recent letter to hand and the contents duly noted. Never heard of
you before, and do not subscribe to religious pamphlets such as the Spy Annual.
Yours truly,
BROWN.

Letter No. 3. Kupfer still persistent.
Dear Mr. Brown:
I fear that there is a terrible misunderstanding somewhere. You don't
mean to tell me you have forgotten me? Don't you remember the time I
picked up your hat last summer? It was on a Monday morning. I am a noted
musician and have thot of a number of musicales I would like to give. Please
note that I will consider $100 to start with.
Sincerely yours,

Dearest Susanne:
FRIDAY, 9:30 P. M.
Oh , Susanne, I am so excited I can hardly wait to tell you the most wonderful news. Remember that outrageously handsome man we saw down town
the other day? The one with that lovable smile? Well, I have met him!
And he is fifty times as good looking "close to." His hair! his eyes! his smile!
his perfect teeth! his complexion! Oh, Susanne, my very soul goes out to
him. And his name-Reginald Archibald! Is it not poetic?
He came into the office today while I was there and tried to sell Papa some
insurance. I will say that he, Papa, I mean, was perfectly heartless. He
wouldn't take a penny's worth; said he had all he wanted! But Reginald
and I were instantly attracted to each other, and as Papa wouldn't give me
any more money above my allowance (he was quite stingy today) I decided
to leave instead of wasting my time arguing. As we were going downstairs,
I expressed my sympathy for Reginald and told him that when my poems
began to bring in money, I would buy all my insurance from him. As yet the
people have not become educated to my style. He was awfully nice in thanking me and telling me all about himself. I am sure he will be immensely
wealthy some day. He said so himself. He walked all the way home with
me, and believe me, it was heavenly.
Yours in ecstasy,
Juliette.
Dearest Susanne:
TuESDAY NooN.
I have seen him again, and he gets handsomer every minute. Our meeting
lasted only a few moments as I was on my way to school-and late as usual,
but even that short time with him filled me with supreme delight. He asked
me if he could have the pleasure of seeing me again. Of course, I said yes
but I didn't dare ask him over because you know how particular Mamma is
about knowing the whole family history and all that silliness about everyone
with whom I associate. Altho a person with such shoulders and such an
aristrocratic, dignified carriage as his, could only belong to a family of the very
best caliber. I am going to the picture show with him tonight. Oh, I know
it's that stupid William Hart, but then I don't expect to look at the picture
anyway.
Mamma will think I am at dancing class, and you will tell the
teacher that my absence is unavoidable, won't you, dear?
Lovingly yours,
Juliette.
Susanne Dear:
TuESDA Y, MIDNIGHT.
It was wonderful, heavenly, superb! I shall begin at the beginning and
tell you all about it. I started out at the usual time for dancing class, as my
parents thought, and met Reggie at the Twisted Oak. We went to the show,
and it was all that I could have hoped or wished. Just to be near him satisfied
me because his personality is so intense (altho there was a slight disagreeable
odor about him which I did not recognize. It must be some new perfume.)
When we had seen one full show and a half, he suggested that we get something
to eat. We went to some chop suey place, and there I was able to gaze at his
remarkable figure. His clothes were of the latest style, and his taste was
marvelous. His tie and socks were a perfect match of the most gorgeous
purple one could hope to see. They made me think of the purple that the

except the shop of the most fashionable t a ilor of ew York. For where else
could such a shade of green originate! He had a lovely striped shirt on with
some little fringy stuff on the cuffs. And his diamond scarf pin! Why my
dear, Papa makes the worst fuss about his which isn't half so large! I hardly
ate anything, I was so enraptured by his presence.
When we left there, he asked me if I cared to go to the dance at Danard
Hall. Now , I have always had a keen desire to go there for everybody in our
set is so shocked when it is mentioned . Therefore , I readily consented. I
never before had such a-well-dizzy time in all my life. He dances divinely .
He holds one so close and fairly takes one off her feet with the rapidity with
which he moves . But we Westerners are so slow in anything like learning
the latest dances. He talks familiarly of all the latest New York and London
ones like the "Gurgle-Urgle," and so forth . I could write volumes about him.

have discovered what worldly,
unappreciative parents I have, and what cats some people are! Yes, cats;
that's the only word that can properly describe them. That horrid telltale,
Miss Sparks, saw us coming from the dance (she was returning from choir
practice) and could hardly wait to tell Papa all she knew and then some. He
just raved and said all sorts of terrible things to me. It makes my head whirl
to even think of them. And Mamma- she went into hysterics . To make a
long story short, I have to stay in the house every night for a month, can't
go anywhere without a chaperone except to school and,- well as far as I can
see, I'm not allowed to do anything. Please come and see me soon. I don't
think they will turn you away from our portals.
Miserably yours,

Juliette.
P.S. As you perhaps realize all those scenes have only increased my true
regard for Reggie. At least, they can't deprive me of my inmost feelings!
I am his forever and anon.
Dear Susanne:
THURSDAY MoRNINC.
Oh! The beast, the wretch, the brute! Don't ever mention the name of
Reginald Archibald to me again, if you have any love for me at all. He is
terribly plebeian and uneducated. Everything about him is vulgar and cheap.
I saw him out with that horrid little flirt, Lotta Snap, today and anyone who
can stand her, can never retain my freindship. Also- this is the worst yethe is married! Miss Sparks is so interested in my welfare that she had to find
out all she could about him to make it pleasanter for me at home. Wish she'd
tend to her own affairs! Will see you this afternoon.
With shattered hopes,

Julie.
P.S.

That disagreeable odor was garlic, not perfume. Oh, I hate him!! !-J.

Thru the generosity of the School Board we have been enabled to secure
a new SPY building. Architects have finished the plans, and they are herewith
presented. The building, it has been estimated, will cost $650,000. Situated
on the former grounds of the Country Club, and over-looking Lake Michigan,
it will be the scene of many gay functions. It is the most complete and up-todate building in the state, and, with costly rugs, furniture, draperies, and
tapestries, its beauty will be unsurpassed.
The Main lobby, furnished in walnut and French tapestries, will presens
a striking appearance to one entering the building. The remaining portiont
of the lower floor will be occupied by the offices of the Editor, Business Manager,
Faculty Advisor, the Solarium, the Scriptorium, Billiard Room, Consultorium,
Natatorium, and Tea Room. These will all be richly furnished with expensive
furniture and draperies.
On the second floor of the building will be the offices of the different departments, the magnificent blue and silver dining-room, Manicure, Hairdressing and Barber Parlors, Culinarium, Ball-room, and Lounge.
By far the most beautiful room in the building will be the Lounge. Its
floor of Indian teak-wood will be covered by a Persian rug of unexcelled beauty
and its walls will be hung with the richest tapestries. Couches, chairs, and
tables of Cuban mahogany will help to make this room home-like.
The grounds as well as the building are to be very beautiful. Landscape
gardeners from the East have been put to work on them. Fountains and
sunken gardens will border walks for those who have romantic aspirations.
The work on the building is being rushed to relieve the congestion in th
present crowded quarters, and the Staff will move into the New Home on the
first day of school next September.

There is a needle and thread tree

which furnishes a needle and thread
all ready for use. At the tip of each
dark green leaf, is a slender thorn
needle , that is carefully drawn from
its sheath.
At the same time , it
slowly unwinds the thread , a strong ,
smooth fibre attached to the needle
and capable of being drawn out to a
great length.

From Many" and any latin student
ought to be able to see this at a
glance. If you did know this, you
may be well pleased with yourself
and thankful for your latin , for it
is a known fact that some of the best
educated people of this country have
no idea as to its meaning . Try it on
a group of friends and see.

A Deck of Cards
A deck of cards is a curious thing
when you compare it with our
"year"-

There are twelve face cards m a
deck-12 months in a year.
There are four suits in a deck-4
seasons in a year.
There are thirteen cards in each
suit-13 weeks in each season.
There are 52 cards m a deck52 weeks in a year.
There are 365 spots m a deck of
cards-365 days in a year.

ls a Box in Which a Candle Is Burnt,
Lighter Than a Box and a Candle?
When we burn a candle in the
ordinary way, it seems as if something had been turned into nothing ,
for the candle has disappeared. But
we know that this is impossible. If
we should weigh a box with a candle
in it and then burn the candle away,
and weigh it again we would find that
it still weighed exactly the same as
when the candle was there, if the
box is air-tight. This only goes to
prove that the candle has turned
into heavy gases that have mixed
with the air in this air-tight box, and
the gases weigh just exactly as much
as did the candle.

s. 0. s.
Most everyone knows that S . 0. S
is the wireless call for help sent out
from ships in danger. But what does
S. 0. S. mean? What does it stand
for? Ask yourself, before you read
the answer, and see if you know.
Some of you will probably say that
it stands for "Save Our Ship" or
"Save Our Souls," and some of you
may say that it means "Send Out
Ships."
But you are all wrong.
"S. 0 . S." does not stand for any
phrase at all. It has been chosen
for the danger signal, simply because
it is the most distinct combination
of unlike "clicks" in the continental
code. There is no possible chance for
a mistake. The signal for S is three
dots-( . . . ), for 0-three dashes( - - ), and for S again-three
dots-:-( . . . ).

s

s

So do not make the mistake again
of telling anyone that "S. 0 . S."
means "Save Our Ship."

Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor- A
Distinct Nash Achievement

Among the specific mechanical
superiorities of the Perfected
Valve-in-Head Motor of the
Nash Six may be mentioned
that its valve lubricating mechanism is encased and is selflubr icating.

It is u nusually powerful, economical and
quiet. This is what owners throughout the
country say of the Perfected Valve-in-Head
Motor of the Nash Six.
To the recognized advantages of the Valvein-Head type of motor, Nash engineers added
certain definite requirements and perfections
which make this efficient power-plant a
distinct ash achievement.

Nash Passenger Cars- 5 Passenger Car, $1490;
4 Passenger Sport Model, $1595; 2 Passenger
Roadster, $1490; 7 Passenger Sedan, $2250; 4

Sole Leather

Put th,,. best kind of leather on the bottom of your feet. Get your full
money's worth whe n you buy sole leather or have your shoes repaired.
Insist on getting Allen's Sole Leather strips, tanned and selected by
the world's largest tannery. Last year over ten million shoes were
resoled with Allen's Sole Leather.
Only the best of hides from range fr.cl steers are used in cutting Allen's
Sole Strips. We have over a million to rhoose from every year.

No

wonder Allen's Sole Strip Leather is best. It wears longest and is easiest
to handle, cuts clean, and gives longer use.

You can get Allen's Sole Strips from the man you usually buy your
leather from; ask him for it and be sure that the name " Allen's Sole

Strip" is embossed on the leather. That's the only way to tell.
Your shoe repair man will resole your shoes w:th Allen 's Leather.
He knows lien's is the best. Ask for it.
