Reflections - Page 42 As a mirror reflects, so this Clintonian Annual for 1926 reflects the activities of our High School life. The mirror is not stationary, but revolves as you turn the pages of the Annual. Thus presenting to you a circle of High School life, rather than a narrow angle of its accomplishments. Administration may be thought of as the helm through which classes, activities, athletics and features are directed. The efficiency of this force may be judged by the progress of the school. In this year book you may see reflections of everybody but reflections on no one. It is a compact mirror without rouge or powder puff. We are proud of what we have given you. However, in each phase of High School, growth and development are expected. "Forge Ahead" is our motto. An in this onward progress we were halted so you might look in the mirror of our accomplishments. Classes predominate in importance in the phase given. For in the classes are reflected the four ages of our High School students. First comes the timid little Freshman girl with face eager and hopeful, wondering what these new days will bring to her. Next follows the Freshman boy. A boy eager, expectant, ready to learn in a larger field than that through which he has just passed. A Sophomore girl feels established in her second year. She may feel wise in comparison to Freshmen but when she looks beyond to the hopes of her accomplishments, her spirit is humbled. A Sophomore boy's face is calm and earnest. He may feel wise and yet if he is a thoughtful lad he, too, will feel humble. "Forge Ahead" is in his heart, and in his thoughts and actions he is winding up the pathway which leads to the realization of his secret ambitions. A Junior girl as well as the Junior boy is just a step farther along in the progress. The foundation and structure of their High School days have been made. They peer eagerly forward to the glimpses of completion that will follow in their Senior year. When four long years have been completed, you again catch a gleam in the student's eyes which says "Forge Ahead" to the new, unbroken paths. Eagerly on schooling is ended, to start at the beginning of another. After the completion of High School comes the beginning of college. After college, comes the larger responsibilities of life. Now, if you don't like the reflection that you see in the mirror, the fault is your. You must change; the mirror can not. So, ever keep in your heart the thought "Forge Ahead."

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY - Page 45 New York City, April 1, 1940 Dearest Geraldine: You are right. The life of a dog-catcher is a merry one. I wouldn't change it, though, for any other job in the world. You know perfectly well I always had a soft spot in my heart for all the stry cats and dogs in the surrounding neighborhood. You say that now you have been granted a divorce from your husband, The Rev. Irvin Dilerang of Miles, it is your intention to join Carrie Durbin in her nation-wide search for antiques-- including balloon tires and oxford bag trousers. How does it happen that Herbert DeWitt is of the party? I thought he was busy over in Morrison with his factory manufacturing eyes for potatoes. I'm so sorry I was unable to attend our annual class reunion, but one of the dogs came down with the measles and, of course, I couldn't leave the poor dear. Now do tell me if I have gotten all the gore staight. Jeanette Bather was awarded a Carnegie Medal for delivering a speech entitled, "What's Right with the Younger Generation." Jeanette certainly has won a reputation as a criminal lawyer, hasn't she? So Marie Armstrong married Alfred May and they run a duck farm on the Lincoln Highway. Now, isn't that nice? I can just see Adaline operation a bus line to Fulton. Burken always could tell whether the butcher stuffed his sausage with toothpicks or genuine canine. Katherine Anderson, Dorothy Bryant, Walter Chadwick, Howard Fatchett, Berneice Gordon, Irmal Parr, Lois Kuchel, Ada Lambert, Gilbert Jensen, Rachael Morgan, Jessie Sanders, Harvey Ketelsen, Gerald Johnstone, Leslie Paterson, Reynold Matz and Hugh Holle are among the happily married. Maude Nason is about to join them. Who were at the Convention of Plumbers and Morticians held in Goose Lake besides Florence Andrews, Edmund Barrett, Maynard Benson, Leonard Lass, Elizabeth Langworthy, Bernice Rose, Helen Steib, Claudia Tritz, James Wood and Henry Wohlwend? So they agreed to stay on a strike until they were given Friday afternoons off, in order to keep on with their pie eating contest, which is now being held. Oh, I bet it is exciting when all those policemen rushed in, fearing a riot. You don't mean to tell me that Leslie Struve, Bishop Miller, Harold Moldt and Harold Hedges are on the Des Moines police force! Speaking of police, did you know that Eleanor Speer is traffic cop in Greenwich Village, while Jenny Shank is serving as police matron at Long Island? Yes, Mildred Althouse was dancing for a while with Glenn Smith several years ago. Mildred married one of these futurists, while Glenn became the thirteenth victim of the famed Peggy Joyce. So John Kunau is proprietor of a dance hall over in Dixon! Too bad his health failed. He had such a brilliant future as a salesman of Tutti-Frutti gum and lipstick. You write that Dale Hardcastle is his partner, while the orchestra is Kerr's Kachy Kooers, conducted by William Kerr, and consisting of only members of the fair sex, among them Bernadine Claussen, Gladys Little, Marian Petersen, Dorothy Sander, Edna Graham and Ruth Burdick. I don't see why Ray Abrahamson and John Behrens wanted to go on that Artic Expedition. Burr! Nothing but greasy ol Eskimos and dirty old polar bears. And to think that Helen Brown, Cecil Cover, Alice Gabriel and Lois Kuchel are all going up there to demonstrate to the Eskimo women the value of Pond's two creams. You know, though, the famous cinema actor, Russell Cook, states that his wife, Mary Carter, is seeking a divorce because he has been paying so much attention to Olga Thompson, the widow of Pavo Nurmi. They do say, however, that Mrs. Cook has been seen several times with that rising young playwright, Maynard Benson. I and Randall Dickey, who is home for a few days from diplomatic service in Europe, recently wnet to the opening night of "Limburger Cheese," Harold Bendixen's latest novel. Edwin Bulow as the leading man was a breath-taker, while Edmund Condon was supreme in the role of a dashing villian. Raymond Doyne and Clarence Beil were ushering. George Benson, Harold Booth, Robert Johnson and Harold Kelly still form the big political ring here in New York. The election in Clinton that you write of sounds interesting. Did I understand you to say that Margaret Broderson is the new Mayor, while Herbert Butzbach, Alma Carstensen, Howard Cope, Ralph Griffin and Boyd Ferguson all have political positions? I can't imagine George Jones, Dale Larson, John Peterson and Lowell Rasmussen running a mosquito farm for the employment of disabled ditch diggers. You say they employ Georgia Robinson, Lucille Petersen and Crystal Mewherter in their staff of cooks? I read an article on mosquito farms by Professor Florence Mohr, in which it states that due to an invention by two rising chemists, Laverne Shick and Raymond Ives, mosquito farming has been put on a paying basis. The W.C.T.U. in Africa has a strong leader in Naomi Thuresson. Her staff includes Grace Tietjens, Esther Work, Edna Sible, Francis Sheen, Marvel Schmidt, Vivian Smith and Virginia Sullivan. They have all done wonders towards banishing the toddle and the saxophone from African dance halls. Henry Weber, Mabel Zollinger and Edith Wogens were in Africa recently, collecting monkeys and bananas. Marvin Wallace, Myrl Peters and Robert Larson have all gone in for fancy dancing. Bob is quite the state-door Johnny. I've seen him with Irene Fulton, Inez Hardersen, Evelyn Gamble, Myrtle Munson, Olivia Nelson, Elsie Seeser and Hazel Williams all in the same week. Marvin, they say, is planning to marry Clover Schmaltz, the holder of the State Championship in tightrope walking in Alabama. Florence Schultheis, Marie Seifert, James Burns, Thera Murphy, Marie Nelson, Mary Small, Herbert Thompson and Carl Weseman are all in the real estate business on Beaver Island, you say? Did you know that Herbert Walker and Joseph Willis had petitioned the government to stop the raising of dandelions and onions by their neighbors, Bertha Volk and Gladys Steur, which articles are raised for benefit of the Garbage Men's Union, at the head of which is Carl Shifflett? Victor Charles is in his glory as judge of a beauty contest held at Beaver Slough. Mary Louise Seldon, Thelma Slaughter, Eva Mensinger, Betty Purvis and Ruth Morgan are the participants, you say? Lloyd Felderman and Kenneth Moore are running a beauty parlor for men. Now isn't that a clever idea. So Dame Rumor has it that Raymond Lee, Gilbert Moritzen, Robert Peterson, Marvin Henning and Charles Wheeldon are among the heavy patronizers. Bernetta Kunau is spaghetti slinger at the Green Mill on Saturdays and spends her week days teaching Hebrew up at Wartburg. Mabel Hansen, Harold Kelly, Everett Hill, Francis Keeley and Crystal Mewherter all teach up there too, don't they? Some touristts from a Montana ranch were down here the other day looking for their dog. Arnold Lund, Edward McKinley, Marie Nielsen, Marian Smith were among the party. The carnival you attended sounds like lots of fun. Robert Matzen is a juggler. William Petersen and Arthur Rohwer were running a pancake stand. Not really? I can hardly believe you when you say Jane Stewart was Madame Cobra, the snake-charmer. But then you know, as the whale said, consoling to Jonah, "It's a gay life, if you don't weaken." Bye, bye, Geraldine. Love, SELMA Katherine Chase. BETTY'S LAST BET - Page 48 "Betty's Last Bet" was chosen by Miss Billings to be the Senior Play.

Only we weren't Juniors then, we were Freshmen. At least we thought so, but the upper-classmen seemed to think of us simply as "Freshies." We were forced to go by that name, but we really didn't mind because we thought we were as big as the rest. And we had a class meeting and elected Harold Kappler for our president and had a great, big part and loads of fun. The next year was just as splendid. We all had our turn in tormenting the new "Freshie," but still we were known by a very undignified name, "Sophs." Really we were Sophomores and of great importance, but yet they call us "Sophs." Again we contributed a great deal of spirit to the school, elected a new president, Suzanne Chase, and had two parties. by now we were thought old enough to have two. Yet we cavorted around then more than when we were "Freshies." Now we are Juniors -- no nickname about it -- JUNIORS. It sounds fine! More than that; we are the peppiest class in all Clinton High School. All right, you Seniors, Sophomore and Freshmen, say what you will, but just think of the hilarious and gay times we've had already. Sliding and skating parties under the direction of our football-captain president, Lyle Bossen. Oh, we're proud of our "Sanky," and he's proud of us. This year we've chosen our rings and colors, and we are going to treat the Seniors to a big dance, the Junior-Senior Hop.

A larger per cent of pupils who will amount to something will go out in the world and do something because that is the character they are showing this year. They have carried an enormous amount of class spirit in turning out for each school activity. Four Junior boys won letter in Football, and ten of the best men on other squads who made the first team possible and will likely be first next year, were Juniors. The Captain will show the good leadership he has shown as Junior President. One of the three Juniors who won Basketball letters will be Captain and the six other Juniors on the squad stuck all year to help. Watch them as Seniors. The present Track Captain is a Junior and he has several classmates winning points for C. H. S. Juniors won the Inter-Class Meet. The Juniors have beaten all the classes so far in Baseball. They won last year too, as Sophomores. One of the Basketball Cheer Leaders was a Junior girl. The high point swimmer was a Junior. The best two divers were Juniors. Juniors won the Meet. A Junior girl won the Tennis Championship. The Girls' Declamatory was won by a Junior. A Junior girl will be Manager of the school paper. all the new Hi-Y officers are Juniors; they are leaders. The best baritone singer of Clinton High is a Junior this year. He had a lead in "Pickles" and many other Juniors helped make it a success. Twelve Junior boys were in Boys' Glee Club and a large per cent of the Bank and Orchestra were Juniors. They are a scholastic group, too, and thirty per cent were on the Honor Roll of High Grades. The Juniors have surpassed in social life. Coasting parties, bob sled parties, skating parties and a dance in mid-year for life and amusement of the whole school. The largest event of the year is the Junior "Hop" and this year's class will be given credit for taking the severly suffering custom of bringing it back to fame again. Their class officers can't be beat for they fill their offices seriously and earnestly and don't say "Let George do it." CLASS OF 1928 (With two group class photographs) - PAGE 60 SOPHOMORE! Waht a wonderful word! The Soph class certainly doesn't live up to one-half of the meaning, though. "Wise Fools" is the meaning, and they are wise, but they are not fools. Just ask a couple of alumni about a few Sophomores. They will tell you. What could be more wonderful than to be a full fledged Sophomore and be able to look down on and make fun of the poor Freshies. One of the happiest moments in our life is when we get a chance to direct a Freshman. But, on, the results! People have begun to sit up and take notice of the class of '28 and we hope they will continue to observe us. The Sophomore year has lost one memory, that of the long pants, but continues to hold most of us to that night of our first date. Sometime a Sophomore is a little more brilliant than a Freshman, but that is just his wit coming to the top. The class of '28 is one of the best known of C. H. S. classes with "Angie" and "Milly" among them and Clinton High wouldn't be what it is without the Sophomores. All eyes are on you, '28, so show your colors.

NINETEEN-HUNDRED-TWENTY-EIGHT - PAGE 63 That's the universal sentiment of the Sophomore class - that they're all right! And they are, for although their record is not meteor-like in brilliancy, they are steadily winning a way to fame. Look around your and see that. In "Declam" you found three Sophomore boys, one placing first. Four girls entered the Girls' Declamatory Contest. Dramatics found three Sophomores on the cast of "Tea Toper Tavern," while many enlivened the choruses of "Pickles." You surely enjoyed the Sophomore Glee Club, and realized that the Sophomore Orchestra, playing at the Junior Play and Grade Graduation, was a real one. In athletics, you'll find many Sophomore boys gaining honors. It's a Sophomore who is Clinton High's "mile man," winning the mile, half-mile and relays, at Davenport this year. The five Sophomore "Pollywogs" starred in the Swimming Meet, winning the second and third high scores. And it was the Sophomore girls' team, remember, who wond the Girls' Track Meet this year! These Sophomores have brains as well as brawn, for forty-eight of them were on the honor roll, while two of the Clintonian's excellent business managers, its efficient circulation manager and a reporter, are Sophomores. The bunch all stick together in their play too. Since the organization of the class in January, they have enjoyed a skating party, a real, old-fashioned sleigh ride, a class dance at the Boat Club, they Sophomore C. D. Club dance and a class picnic. They turned out for the Homecoming parade and won two prizes for thier floats. The Sophomore "Ag" class, alone, has contributed all sorts of entertainment to the school's fun. Yes, if you ask a Sophie to work on an entertainment committee, you will be sure they'll plan and carry out a good time. Altogether, the Sophomores feel they have a good, live bunch to begin things next year, and they expect to keep on gaining as they have, until they astonish Clinton High -- in 1928 -- with the "best class that ever graduated from C. H. S." Here's to you, Sophies, may you keep on winning. CLASS OF 1929 (With two group class photographs) - PAGE 64 Behold the Freshman! When they entered in September they made the High School sit up and take notice. They aren't, as upper classmen usually expect Freshmen to be, babyish and silly. Many of them are talented in art or music, many have done well in athletics, and the Freshmen receive exceptionally high marks. They have enough pep and enthusiasm to furnish the whole school, but do not put all of it into their play. Latin and Algebra do not daunt the Freshmen; they have enough brain power for that and for many other things. Upon their arrival, they set to work to cooperate with the other classes, and have succeeded in making themselves a necessary part of the school. On the whole, the Freshmen are some class.
