Johnson, our genial and capable superintendent of schools has rendered efficient service to the schools of DeWitt County for twenty-one years in various capacities. His success in the rural schools led to his being selected as principal of the Lincoln School in Clinton. From here he went to Weldon as superintendent of schools. His popularity and value as a school man next led to his being elected superintendent of county schools in 1919. His executive ability and high standards have helped to raise the schools of this county to a high rank among those of the state. His friends expect many years of future successful service from him.

President Madden has been backed by every member of his class and the Juniors have had many social affairs and their class organization is one of the best. Wilbur Madden is one of the leading athletes of the school, having played football and basketball for the past two years. Paul Smallwood is also an athlete of first class ability and is well liked by-all who know him. Alice Carter and Lois Rudasill both are prominent in their scholastic standing and in social affairs. 31 Ths-Ohatoma._______________________ 1922 Nellie Anderson Fern Andrews Harry Ashley Helen Baker Claude Barrett Eloise Bennett George Benson Clara Blue Katherine Bogardus Juanita Brewer Ida Brit tin Alice Carter Calvin Christian Rebecca Cowles Armour Craig Frances Cuqua Adda Davis Earl Fenner Maud Flood Irwin Fosnaugh JUNIORS Lola Hidden Louise Hilts Carl Isonhart Kate Ives Louise Johnson Eleanor Jones Gertrude Lett Earl Lowe Louise Luker Helen McAboy Wilbur Madden Helen Metz Ruth Miller Arthur Miller Monica Pyne Berniece Rainey Robert Reddick Paul Robb Helen L.

THE THIRD BOOK OF THE JUNIOR CHRONICLES Junior Chronicle 3:1-24 (Lois Rudasill) 1. And it came to pass that in the thirteenth year of the reign of H. H. Edmunds, in the ninth month, in the ninth day of that month came one hundred trembling Freshmen, called to be saints, unto the kingdom of C. C. H, S. 2. Moreover, it being known that Freshmen are green and ignorant, many plagues were cast upon them. 3. For we received gladly the advice which the tribe of Sophs proffered us. 4. But 'ere much time had passed the Freshmen were the pride of Paid K. Theobald and his noble assistant Jessie M. Cline. 5. And in the spring in the end of that school year even the class 1923, we were indeed popular in our realm e’en unto the Seniors. 6. So popular that some felt inclined to leave not the kingdom under our wise rule. 7. And in the fourteenth year of the reign of H. II. Edmunds, we decreased in number but not in power, came back again to take under our sway the kingdom of C. C. H. S. 8. And it was in this year that we entered more than ever into the activities of the kingdom and showed marked ability as a young class. 9. And lo! and behold! wonderful athletes were discovered in the tribe of the Sophs. 10. For Jacob Isonhart (the class’s best) was chosen as all state half back. 11. And in the ninth month of that successful year in the kingdom a feast was held, which was a very fitting climax to the series of social events of that year. 12. After a pilgrimage of three months from the kingdom we joyfully returned as noble Juniors and were confronted by a new leader, V. Senn, of the tribe of Hoover from beyond the muddy waters of the Sangamon. 13. From the very first, the Seniors realized our power and nay, they never e’en so much as noticed us after a first curious glance of inspection, as we took our places by their side in the coveted sunny half of the assembly room. 33 THr Chnbnta_____________________ 1922 14. After our eyes became accustomed to the dazzling nearness of Senior lights, we organized as a class. 15. Wilbur, the only son of the Reverend of the tribe of Madden, by many known as “Widder,” was chosen as our chief; there was appointed to uphold his hands Paul, “Smalley” of the tribe of Smallwood; now, one Alice of the tribe of Carter and Lois, the Rudasillite were chosen with them the one to keep the records and the other to guard the bags of gold, of the mighty Juniors. 16. And one Abby L., a Rossite appointed by the W. Senn of the tribe of Hoover, as tribe-guide, chose Frieda May, the Smithite, and Feryl of the tribe of Hickman as consul chiefs. 17. And thus the tribe has been rescued from the quagmire disasters that preceding tribes have experienced; and they have prospered, though wonderful enough we were the two years preceding. 18. We became avowed enemies of the Seniors. 19. And oh, woe unto them! for it was the Juniors who were first 100% in the athletic drive. 20. And in spite of all the warnings of the harmless Senior army, the feast at the camp of Jessie, the Millerite was a great success. 21. Strong we were in athletics, for in athletes we starred with Jake, Smalley and Runt. 22. Strong not only in muscular strength but e’en stronger in our great intellectual ability. 23. Alas! the Seniors managed to capture a few of our class but those unfortunate few could not help it because they had so many extra credits that they were compelled to enter the ranks of the Seniors. 24. But e’en after all we shew them that though not so many in number we are greater in that number. 34 if) 0 0 1 □ 3 □ U m The Chninnm_____ -hllLJl m —___Q22.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY (Thelma Barr) June 20, 1921, Clinton, Illinois, Assembly-room. My dear Patsy: IIooRah! I’m in high sehool now. As you wanted to know all about my class 1 'll proceed to tell you about us. When we started this year we had one hundred and fifty in our class. 1 am sure we were the most intelligent-looking bunch of freshmen who have entered so far, aren’t you? We did not have nearly so much trouble finding our classes as the juniors and seniors did. Of course, a class couldn’t go through its first year without a weiner roast, so, for convention’s sake, we had one. I will say, though, we had a hilarious time. We have had so many parties this year. We had a Hallowe’en party and our class gave a baby stunt. We’re still very proud of our twins, Jim and Herman, as babies. Do you remember that red-headed curly-haired girl I introduced you to last summer? Helen Robbins? Well, she’s the cleverest girl in our class. We must have beauty in our class, too, for the seniors go with freshmen girls, Ruth Van Antwerp and Elizabeth Fitzimmons, for instance. Merle Griffin, a member of our class, is on the first team in foot-ball. This is supposed to be a great honor, too. Say, Tommy Boyle uses the biggest words you ever heard for such a small boy. Speaking of bigness Ernestine Beatty has the most grown-up (I don’t think that’s right) ideas you could imagine. Our judge, Hon. Will Bedinger, is also an important member of our class. We certainly have variety, if nothing else, because we have a jeweler’s, a lawyer’s, and farm advisor’s daughters and a banker’s son. We have one good class, anyway, well I ’ll say we have. With love, Red. April 20. 1922, Clinton, Illinois, Assembly room. Dear Patsy: After having waited so long that the things you asked about in your last letter have faded into the dim past I’ve really decided to write. I remember the last time I wrote, we were freshmen. Now, we’re sophomores. Congratulations? Quite a few of our members did not return for battle this year but the greater number did. As you’re probably heard Merle is still on the football squad this year. Both the yell-leaders, Hienie and Ralph, are from our class, too. Lots of the second team basket-ball men are sophomores, I’ve heard. Three of our class are on the girl’s champion basketball team, Helen Robbins, Ruth Ward, and I. We have not enjoyed as many parties this year as last, but our ancient history class had a bob-sled party and descended on Hajniltoms afterwards for eats. We had ’em, too. Of course, Ernestine couldn’t go through the evening without something happening so she broke her glasses. The only freshman we allowed to go, D. W., was quite rough and even knocked one girl off the sled, but her high and mighty airs have been taken down since. The funniest thing happened in our English class. Miss Smith asked Johnny Williams about a certain thing in the lesson and he answered, “Wall, ah haven’t the slightest idea about it.” He’s always saying something funny, anyway. We’re happy even if we are only sophomores. Lovingly, Red. 37 - 38 J FRESHMAN GIRLS Fred Allen Wm.

We, that class that last fall for the first time set foot in C. C. H. S. to realize it was to be our Alma Mater for years to come. Now one year is nearly gone. As is usual, though we are an unusual class, we held a weiner roast. We walked to Weld’s pond and there beside a huge fire on the edge of the water we ate a most appetizing supper. Of course, we had only the usual things but it came in several courses. However, the courses were all the same. Some, being interested in physical geography and the like, wandered off to the spring and nearly lost out on the first one. 1 guess they made it up. It was dark when we started back across the field to the road. I heard one girl declare she had lost her slipper in the mud. By various ways of locomotion we returned to town and declared it to be the best picnic yet. We had no other class parties. Being so numerous it would be difficult to give one to all of us. In January Miss Ross’s first year Latin class, being composed mostly of Freshmen, had a bobsled ride. In February the newcomers increased our class to 140. Five of our boys won football second team O’s: Church. Bert, Tom, Jim and Bob. We are quite proud of them. A basket ball C was awarded to Robert Langellier. Soon we will be no longer Freshmen. We do not regret that. Neither do we regret our Freshman year in C. C. H. S. Love, Dorry. 41 JhR Glnbaia_______ ___________1322. FRANK STOUT Frank is truly the friend of the students.

This day, of course, brings joy to us. It is the realization of our hopes and preparations, yet then our joy must seem tempered with seriousness. We have striven to see this day, which would bring us sorrow as well as happiness. Our aims have been high, not low and as Lowell said, “Not failure, but low aim is crime.” So we have succeeded and may the “Success of today decide tomorrow. We have gained a knowledge that shall be forever ours, a foundation and a guaranty for our further progress through life. To those who, with kind indulgence, have directed our studies throughout our high school days, we offer our most heart-felt thanks; to those, whose kindnesses have made our school days most pleasant we wish to express our appreciation—and to all you who are with us today. we thank you for your appreciation and we welcome you to this, the momentous day in our career—our CLASS DAY 44 The Chnbn a_________mSTLi ______1922. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS (John Sharkey) Classmates and Friends: The old year which has taken its flight, leaves many bright rays of sunshine and many clouds of disappointment to be garnered up in memory’s jewel casket— for the mind to digest, when in after years, we listen to the silvery voices and the fairy footfalls of the long ago. The new year. 1922, which has opened before us, like a new book, white and unsullied, must have nothing written on its pages, but right thinking, right doing, right living, which are the cardinal virtues of good men and good women. The true men and women are ever ready to exemplify justice and charity in their dealings with others. Justice may fall short of charity, but the broadminded should not hesitate to go further than justice, when it may mean the uplifting of the weak and the downtrodden. Truth and honesty are the foundation stones of every enduring success; and to you, the Faculty, we will associate these qualities which it was your care to instill into our youthful minds and which you have led us to achieve. We more than appreciate the hearty co-operation of the under classmen in furthering all our undertakings. To the honorable Board of Education—men who gladly and willingly gave up their time and their brains in the advancement of our work—we extend our sincere thanks. It is useless to comment on the spirit and willingness of our parents in preparing us. during the last twelve years, for this great day; and we are proud and glad to have them present to prove that we have not failed them. (’lass of ’22, 1 want to tell you how happy I am to have been a student of Clinton High; happier still, that 1 am one of you today; but the proudest moment of my life was, when you chose me your President. It was, and ever will be. the greatest honor ever conferred upon me, for I so little deserved it; but I have tried to make good, for I have loved and will, always, this Senior Class. I know I voice every member’s feeling today when I say: Here’s to C. C. H. S.; may she be what she has always been: our master, our guide, our helper to us in mind, heart and spirit, always revered, always beloved; and to you as we separate today, I shall say: “Live up to the best that is in you Live noble lives, as you all may, In whatever condition you may find yourselves; So that your epitaph may be that of Euripides: ‘ This monument does not make thee famous, 0 Euripides! Rut thou makest this monument famous.’ ” 45 The. Clintonta 1322. CLASS POEM O, class of Twenty-two, C. H. S. loses you, For today your Alma Mater you will leave, Life’s fight to encounter, Its struggles to remember, If laurels of glory and honor you achieve. But does our class stand back As though they courage lack To contend for their own and that which is right; And shrink from life’s threshold Not daring to make bold What they believe to be truth, wisdom and the light ? Nay, our youths and maidens Fear not that which frightens, And what to others seems hard they ever welcome With glad hearts and smiling, With courage and daring, They seek what they desire, wait not for it to come. So our class bids farewell, And to all we will tell Of kindness found here in these halls of learning, Love for true ideals, And joy that work reveals: For these gifts, C. H. S. we’ll think of thee with yearning. Irene Bianucci. 40 The Chnbn a_____________________1922 CLASS HISTORY (Helen Jeffrey) On September 2, 1918, one hundred of us Freshmen entered High School. This was the largest Freshmen class in the history of the school, and proved to he one of the brightest classes the High School has ever produced. The first important event that happened was given in front of the Assembly room, and was the so-called stunt, which was a parody on the old melo-dramatic motion picture. Orville was one of those bad bandits. The second Freshman stunt was a Japanese play given by the Freshman girls. We entered as Sophomores, in September, 1919, and we were not quite so numerous as before, several having dropped out. The first event of the Sophomore year was a weiner roast held at Weldon Springs on September 26. As Juniors we entered our classes in 1920 with fifty-nine. For the first time we were organized as a class with the following officers: Leta Marsh, President; Willis Reddick, Vice-President; Forest Shumaker, Secretary, and Mildred Overy, Treasurer. On February 7 the first Junior party was held at the home of Edna Earle Weld. 'I'he trip was made on the interurban, and we all had an enjoyable time. A weiner roast was held at Past-time Park. About forty members were present. The Junior year closed with the reception given to the Senior Class and the Class of ’22 did its part as real hosts and hostesses. On September 6 we entered High School seventy-nine strong. The following officers were elected: John Sharkey, President; Carl Dowell, Vice- President; Guernsey McConkey, Treasurer, and Faye Westerholt, Secretary. On November 4 the Senior girls held a pep meeting in the Assembly room. December 15 the Seniors had a Christmas party at the home of Audrey Boone. We had a Christmas tree and everyone there received a toy of some sort. On January 26 the Senior Class went for a bob-sled ride and afterwards to the home of Leafy Whitehead. After having an enjoyable time and a hot lunch, we started back to town in high spirits. April 7 the Senior girls entertained the Senior boys with an apron and overall party at the home of Ruth Rudasill. The Senior Class has been noted for its support of various activities. There were eleven Senior boys in football and eleven in basketball. No other class has ever had such a high record in athletics as the Class of ’22. There were eight Senior girls in the Glee Club and two Senior boys in the orchestra. Its officers in the Dramatic Club are: Edna Earle Weld, President; Helen C. Stewart, Treasurer, and Edward Gholson, Secretary. There are fifty members in the Dramatic Club, of which twenty-five members are Seniors. From the past activities and accomplishments of the class we feel that no class will ever be able to exceed the Class of ’22. 47 •• ' vi .:uu - - 1 ' —— - RADIO NEWS (C. Claire Whalen) I think this radio is wonderful. I find out some wonderful thing About the class of ’22. Every time I hear it ring. 1 ’m fixing up a paper To send to everyone On our 28th anniversary, I hope I get this done. John Sharkey is now publisher Of the Toonerville Gauzette, I know he’ll he glad to publish this In fact, he’ll he tickled, 1 bet. I guess 1 ’ll tune into Alaska To see if anyone’s there, Trying to find a gold mine, Or trying to capture a bear. Now T guess I ’ll read my proofs For the paper I have written, I guess when they read this they will say. “By a mad dog she’s been bitten. Greetings Class of ’22 To eaeh and everyone! I’m sending you this paper To show what we’ll have done. In future vears. say 28 It’s dated 1950, Now daily papers come in verse, All put up nice and nifty. I guess that editorial Now sounds kinda queer. Now I ’ll look at society And see if it’s all here. Noted beauty dazzles Europe With her hair of purest gold. The secret of the “goldiness” To the Crown Prince will be sold. We’ve been asked not to publish The name of one so fair. But they call her Margaret Metz In the countries over there. 48 7 he Qhahma 132Z The well known Shoemaker weds His very best “Foreman,” Who helps him with his wTork To tell when it’s sunshiny or a stormin’. I guess they were studying weather Back in their H. S. days, When they’d walk around the IT. S. Around it and back, both ways. Goldie Tick has become famous For her charity to the poor, She has given away thousands And is gladly giving more. (Radio breaks in) Well, now will you listen to this? Wayne’s boss in an Alaska gold mine, While he loudly plays his saxophone, The miners shovel to his time. Now I guess 1 ’ll try Jacksonville, And make a note of Wayne. I do hope none of my classmates Have went and gone insane! Guernsey McConkey has joined the Senate But by “Mac” he still is known, He was asked to the Mack Sennett For the comedy he’d shown. Mildred Dillingham lectures daily, To the learned men in Spain On the modern use of slang. And the benefits so gained. Oh. T must also make a note of this— I saw Mildred Overy’s picture today, Advertising her own compound, To drive the freckles away. Lena English as you may guess Because of her ability at tender age, Ts the greatest emotional actress Of all the speaking stage. Carl Dowell is also leading man Tn the play, “George Washington.” He takes the part of good old George, Everyone says it’s well done. 49 The Clintonta.: amu 1322. Can you hardly believe Vernele Shively Has very few hours alone? Now she’s in highest society, For she’s New York’s Chaperone. Faye is head of a girls’ school Which is “far from the ways of men;” She carefully teaches each little miss That vamping is a sin. Mr. Hoover’s changed his job He runs two big hotels, And Langy’s still his right hand man, For Langy’s hoppin’ bells. I guess no one’s in Jacksonville I think I ’ll try St. Louis, And see if I can hear something That’ll be of interest to us. Can you imagine Marion Huff Answering letters for lovelorn? She tells them that it’s wrong to flirt So as to be adorn. (By opposite sex, of course!) Leafy Whitehead is today The smiling ventriloquist in a show, She got her practice back in school When she’d sweetly smile and say, “hello.” Well, will you listen to this! Irene has lived up to her plan, Now she is selling her latest design To a baking powder can. (Makes note of it) The sculptor Gentry’s model Is our Oneita Hart, Because of her graceful poise Has been attained for art. Doesn’t it seem wonderful To have a sculptor in our mass? To think she and her model Came from out our very class? Berkson’s a prohibition officer In the city of Milwaukee, He strictly enforces every law That alcohol should not be. 50 Th Chninma___________________________________________________________ 1322 Gwendolyn and Earle were married Soon after leaving school, But she soon divorced and left him, Because his affections grew so cool. Pete’s Dempsey’s great successor In the art of the old knockout; He also trains young kids to box For he knows what he is about. Vinita is one of the lucky girls When you read the class roll thru, She’s trim mistress of a cottage Just big enough for two. Scientist Gholson has made a discovery Which has long been puzzling us all. Now lie’s ready to tell to the world, What made the little moth ball. Mabel Hoyt is United States Minister To the Honolulu Isle, She is learning from the little girls Their natural shimmy smile! Helen Jeffery is historian Telling what little squirrels do, She gave the history of their food On Class day in ’22. Mildred Gideon is now stern judge In the good old county DeWitt, She seems to understand her work For which she is well fit. Marian Swigart is “Little Butterfly” In a chorus of little fairies, And when it comes to flitting She certainly takes the berries. This sounds like Grace Torbert Who high soprano now is singing, I guess she is training her voice In opera she’ll soon be ringing. Paul Turner learned bis business While a Senior in High School, For lie’s now head of Kindergarten Where High School Freshmen rule. The Chnhn n B2Z. Helen Sprague, a great logician, lias started an argument, too, She is proving that color may be felt, Because some people feel Blue. Helen C. is too a lecturer On a subject she’s spent most of her days. It's “How to make tall people look short, By just fixing their clothes that way.” I hate to tell this about Helen B. But I can’t let it slip by, She is now a hopeless spinster, And that way she’ll have to die. Phil is head of Yale, His face has grown so stern; Can you imagine him without his smile? But he makes the young minds learn. Don’t we have lots of teachers? Willis is one of them now, He is interested in left handed people And to tat he teaches them how. Doris is now in Springfield Bossing the Smith-Hughes Laws; We are glad Doris is doing this Because it’s a worthy cause. Ben Seal is now authority On the subject criminology, He says it’s most important work Of all sociology. Forest Shumaker is Speed King In New York motor dome, Y hen the car kicks he says Latin Though his car goes right on home. Feme is now a doctor On nerves she is the best, Of all self-composed ones, She certainly stands the test. Why, T can hear Edna Earle A’ talking long and fast; She surely is arguing, She must be a lawyer at last. 52 Tbp Chnfnrva John Stout is now a Congressman! Can’t you see dignified Jack Sitting there in the Senate With his hair combed right slick back? (Radio) Why, someone is in Jacksonville! I can hear poor Grace there. She must be screaming behind the bare And also pulling her hair. Bernadine McConkey’s in a munition factory And faces powder every day, You know how she liked to powder her face, So her work must be only play. Cebu Miller is a dietician, She’s an authority on such, If it weren’t for Smith-Hughes Law She’d never have learned so much. Gail Persinger’s an acrobat In Ringling Bros.’ show, She daintily tips the tight wire With great agility, you know. Muriel Mitchell is live model In the famous Boston Store, You can see her there most any day Standing by the door. (Radio) I hear Dale a’ preachin’ I hear him at it again, Saying, “He that sitteth on a pin Will surely, surely rise again.” I guess I ’ll tune in China Someone must be there. I think I ’ll read my notes and see If I have everyone here. (Radio) Well, I can hear Charlie Watt Lecturing to the poor Chinese, On evils that come from smoking By the applause, it sure must please. I can hear Neiva Mayall Saying, “I’ll lecture now. If you want to learn to roll your eyes Look at me, I ’ll show you how. ’ ’ 53 The Ghatocua. Helen White is now a hermitress In the mountain Algonquin, She vamped and vamped, but all in vain And now’s lost faith in men. I’ve heard our famous “Westy” Is still the hero of small chaps, For he teaches the game of marbles But in a scientific way, perhaps. Squire Ward after years of experiment Has printed his picture and volume to show, The way to prevent baldheadness Is to let your hair just grow. Ruth Gretchen Rudasill Now lives with the elite, Teaching her style of haii'dressing Which simply can’t be beat. Helen McMillan now travels in Siberia, Organizing Camp Fires there. To carry on the noble work No effort does she spare. I hear a preacher announcing The wedding of Beta Marsh, I think he calls him Mallow. My, this thing (radio phone) sounds harsh. I hear the preacher saying. “Come, my handsome fellow; And I pronounce you Beta, dear, Now Mrs. Marsh-Mallow. (Makes note. Continues reading) Rubv Nebcl gives demonstrations Of the silent laugh and song. But now you can see that this big job Won’t last her very long. Helen Cooley is now Banker And she still has a time with her money, And how she has to watch it close I tell you. it’s not so funny. Oleta is a professional woman, But she always says business is “dead.” That’s because she is an undertaker, So business is dead, as I said. (Radio) 54 1322. Xh£. Qhahaia_______________________ Fleeta Edwards must make records For Victor graphophones, My! she must have a nice job, I can hear those sweet, sweet tones! Alma Robertson now has written A dictionary of her own, Anyone wishing one of these Will please call at her home. Zelda Rose now has an air line Between Clinton and the station of Lane, She calls it the Dresback line I wonder where she got the name? Opal Massey is now an athlete. She is head of a women’s nine; Now Babe Ruth’s record looks quite sick For she sure can hit the line. Ivunkel is head of an asylum For orphan children and poor, He entertains the little tots With toys from his 10 cent store. Helen Robinson is chief demonstrator For Wriglev’s chewing gum. She has learned perpetual motion In her jaws, so now they hum. Walter Lane now poses For pictures on collar “Ads,” With his head erect and his hair slicked back He shows the world the latest fads. Walter Camp’s only rival Since the days he was supreme, In the realms of athletics Is our Calvin Long, it seems. Orville is now a teacher Of the latest steps in dance. He sure can manipulate his feet If he only gets a chance. (Radio) I think T’ve tuned in Clinton, T hear Freddie Kuch’s voice Talking on a subject, Which was Mr. Edmund’s choice. The Chnhn a____________________ 1922. My, his voice sounds grand; He is starting his oration, “Students of Clinton High School, Have you thought of vocational education?” Rollin’s a magician in India And he lives there with the king, He takes a solid lump of gold And with a stroke of the wand it’s a ring. Benia Dean Kinman is a demonstrator Of the Peerless potato peeler; And what I’ve heard the people say Is that she is sure some speeler. Lillian Johnston and Mildred Kitchens A great sensation now are making, Demonstrating a new discovery “Before and after taking.” Now I hear Maude Lampe’s voice She is a Salvation Army lass, I’m sure I hear her yelling awful loud She sure knows how to do ’er. Audrey has a sad life. “May happier days be sent!” For she spends her days writing Inscriptions for monuments. Gwendolyn Brown is a noted critic On appearances of women and men, She publishes all her articles But they only read them and grin. Lorene is now a cartoonist For Sharkey’s “Toonerville Gazette.” The subject of her pictures She calls, “LTpper rooms to let.” Cackley’s a great poet Writing of birds and trees; His study of poetry back in school, Instilled a love for these. I guess you’ve been wondering And now I ’ll let you know— That during most of the summers I’m the fat woman in a show. That sounds like the Postman, I must send these “proofs” today, That was the dandiest old class In all the world I’ll say. 66 The Chnfoma________________________________________ 1922 CLASS WILL ( Claibourne T. Cackley) Being possessed of sound minds, we, the Senior Class, before severing all connections with the institution known as the Clinton Community High School, in the County of DeWitt, State of Illinois, do hereon and hereby make our last will and testament. Section I We, the Senior Class, give and bequeath our inspiration, our ability and obedience to the under classmen, although we realize you cannot come up to the standard the Class of ’22 has set. We also give and bequeath our supremacy in athletics, our good looks and intellectual ability and high class standing such as we now hold. The Senior girls give and bequeath the ability of putting on an entirely new complexion in three minutes, also our charming manners, winning ways and dispositions to all eligible Junior girls. As judges we appoint Clyle Shaw. Earle Lowe and Warren Stone. We give to Wilber Madden the handsomely hand carved desk which is known as seat one, located at the head of row in, in the southwest corner of the Assembly room of the aforesaid Clinton Community High School. This seat was recently vacated by our highly respected and most esteemed President. John Sharkey. Again we regret leaving such a responsible position in the hands of a mere child. We give to you the honor of having more flappers in your class than we. although the Senior girls can account for more galoshes. We also bequeath to you the entire seating capacity of the rows numbering one, two, three and four now held by our class, the largest class that has ever graduated from the Clinton High School. Kindly keep them in the same manner in which we did. Section II To Harry Ashley and Ralph Polen, the positions now held by Walter Lane and Edward Gholson as models for the House of Kuppenheimer. Ralph, don't quarrel with Harry over who is the best looking or you will have to pass the responsibility over to Dean Samuels. To Jake Isonhart all unused white collars with one complete set of instructions as to their use. To (leorge Benson we leave Rollin Johnson’s cleverness as shown in his English class. George, just watch Rollin. and you will get a few finishing touches as to the correct method of applying this merit to the best advantage. To Helen Metz the strategy used in getting away from home without mother knowing it for at least ten minutes, now held by Zona Gentry. To Monica Pyne the honor of being a successful vamp, such as Oleta Myers. Kindly use discretion. Monica, and prey upon those in your own class. To Oneita Schaffer we give our consent and that of Mildred Overy to take Calvin Long’s affections. May you think more and more of Calvin every day. To Paul Smallwood the beautiful roach comb to lie used on that pretty, water-waved hair, which we regret no Senior can boast of, to be used each day after coming into possession of said comb now used by our classmate, Squire Ward. 57 The Chnfnnia_________________________________________________________ 1922 We will and bequeath the quietness of Edna Earle Weld, Helen McMillan and Jerome, our post graduate, who has attached to the class, to the warmhaired O’Brien girl, the Gideon Sisters, and the pretty little blond-haired Wimberly girl, whose color scheme can’t even compare with that of Margaret Metz, who is just one of our illustrious Seniors. It is our will that Pauline Rudasill get a new comb to straighten out the curly bobbed hair no Senior girl can boast of. I am sure you will find enough money in the Junior treasury to buy one with a full set of teeth and discard the old one. To Thelma Barr, Helen Jeffrey leaves her difficulty in finding time to attend the 3:45 class regularly. You shall keep this honor as long as you can talk back to Mr. Alwood as Helen tried to, but when you fail in this duty you will forfeit this claim unto Calvin Christian. To Milford Ilarrold, one-twelfth dozen auburn hair nets discarded by Margaret Metz when she decided to change the color of her hair. We give and bequeath to Paul Robb, the gracefulness as shown by Orville McClelland on the gym floor. To Robert Langellier and Claude Barrett, the football tactics of Willis Reddick. To Harold Davis the unusual merits of Milton Berkson’s automobile driving. On this condition, that you stay on the sidewalk and not tear up the landscape. We give and bequeath to Bernice Rainey as the most capable one in the Junior Class the responsibility of taking care of the political affairs that come before the Junior Class Suffrage League. To LaMarre Ayton the praises of the class for upholding one of our members as shown by these brave words, “Officer, don’t hit that boy.” Section III I, Gwendolyn Anderson, give and bequeath to Earle Fenner my consent to stand, talk and walk with around the school house at morning, noon and night, to any other girl whomsoever he wishes. I, Helen Robinson, give to Juanita Brewer the continuous giggles that I am so proud of. I, Edna Earle Weld, give to Ruth Savely the nerve I have to go up and ask a teacher for a higher conduct grade. I, Frederick Kuch, give to Emerson Williams my famous smile. I, Lena English, give to Irene Rudasill my complete set of Wallace reducing records. I, Maurice Langellier, give the right to be protected by Calvin Long, that I have so long cherished, to the little fellows in the Junior Class, namely, Wayne Sprague and Lloyd Wilson. I. Benjamin Seal, give to Louise Johnson the honor of making witty remarks. I. Paul Turner, hand over my list of waiting dates to the young man who wears those wicked looking low necked vests, known as Paul Robb. I, Wayne Abrell, give and bequeath my sleepiness and sub-conscious manner to Arthur Miller. We do hereby appoint as executors of this, our last will and testament, those of our class, who through misfortune have fallen into the clutches of the Junior Class, may they always remember us through the remaining years. In witness hereof, and as a representative of the class of 1922, I hereunto set my hand and seal. The Class of 1922. 58 The C!min mo 122Z. SENIOR CHARGE (Willis C. Reddick) Friends, this is our last day in the old school. Feeling the true worth of our class and the importance of such a true worth, we have decided to advise the Juniors that they, too, might in time, become great and noble. If they profit, they can in turn advise next year. If not, arrangements have been made for the preservation of this advice that it may not perish through being left in incompetent hands. My time is limited, I cannot pick out each and every individual of your class and tell him here in these last few minutes of the school year of 1922, of his numerous or few faults, as the case might be. I will, however, pick out a few of the outstanding members of your runt class and point out to them, for their benefit, and incidentally for the benefit of others and under classmen, who for some reason might be so dense as to have picked any of the Juniors, to be considered as models. Naturally the blame for the many faults of this runt class falls upon the broad shoulders of their mighty president. “Widder,” or “Cedar Chest,” 1 am going to be brutally frank with you and your partners in folly, or your classmates, as you might prefer to call them. Now don’t grasp the conclusion that I, through any personal malice, attack you, or that I have been instructed by the high-minded members of the class of ’22 to attack you on personal grounds, or on grounds of hatred. No, in spite of what conclusion you may have previously arrived at, that is not the ease, as your better judgment might have told you. Friends and schoolmates assembled together here, you know the true spirit of the members of the class too well even to suspect them of so ridiculing their Junior friends for the mere pleasure of such a base act. Now, to get back to what I started to say. I have been asked not only by the members of the class of ’22, but by the friends of the class of ’23 to give you a bit of advice. You see by this that even your own friends see the need of our advising you. Since you have no choice but to listen I would advise you to listen carefully and profit by what I am about to utter. 1 said once before that you would be first to be considered, Madden, so I will now put your case before those who are here today. Now friends, consider Wilbur kindly. He has, according to Abe Martin, the two worst handicaps a young man could have, namely, nice hair and a tenor voice. Besides those faults, Wilbur is good looking; moreover he knows it, and in fact, he even admits it. Wilbur gets by pretty well though, or at least it appears so. “Sis” takes his part at school, but why not? Wilbur helps her entertain the Girls’ Sunday School class when they meet at his home. Yes, “Wid” is a ladies’ man. Ask anyone. They will immediately name a dozen hearts he has broken. Madden also has business ability. One day last year while he was working at Hull’s grocery store a customer came in and asked “Wid” if they had any Siberian crab apples. “Wid,” who is always resourceful, immediately replied. “We have some very nice crab apples but I don’t know whether they came from Siberia or not.” 1 think we will now turn to some other member of the Junior Class. This time let’s try a girl. 59 The Clinfnnia B22. All right, Juniors, did you know that we, the Seniors, have the name of having the best looking and “cutest” boy in school in our class? Well, we have, one of your prominent young ladies admitted it. Now Helen McAboy, didn’t you? Helen, that is poor class spirit, to say the least. Madden, I’ll turn her case over to you. Take another girl, Pauline Rudasill, with her savor of the farm and her sister ' Ike,” the meanest girl in school. Does anyone here remember when “Ike,” as a Freshman, made a speech before the Assembly on the merits of farming ? Well, she did and I can tell you it would have convinced any old salt tar to leave the sea and settle down to farm life. Pauline and Irene have a cousin. Lois, also a retired farmer. Lois is, or was, just silly over Madden, but it appears that her father had something to say in regard to the matter. You’ll have to ask her for the particulars. Oh, no, Paul Robb, I am not going to forget you. Paul has become a ruined man in the past year, owing to his ideas gained in the Junior Class. We even have concrete evidence of his fall from grace. Right in the Clintonia is a picture of Paul with his arm around a girl. Although his folks don’t approve of this Paul deliberately disobeyed his parents. Paul, can you truthfully say that you know of a member of the Senior Class that ever even had a desire to disobey his parents? Now friends, Harry Ashley is a member of this noble Junior Class. Harry, the egotistic dude of the class, is a splendid example of the effects of association with a bad class. Harry used to be a good boy. Now look at him. Enough to cause the class of ’23 to be dissolved. “Clint” Luker and Lauretta Thorpe, the world’s champion level's, are Juniors. Helen Metz, the queen of note writers, is a Junior. George Benson. “Andy Gump,” the only male soprano in the country, is a Junior. Thus I could continue indefinitely but I will not. Instead, with the true, generous spirit of the class of ’22 I will tell you the only method of your salvation. You will notice I have not yet mentioned Jake Isonhart, Cow Boy Walden. Paul Smallwood, nor Runt Barrett. Juniors, in spite of their many faults they are to be your saviours. They are the only real men in the class. They are the men who have helped keep alive the only spark of hope the public has ever had for you. While they toil on the field and in the gymnasium for the honor of the school the rest of you stand by and watch, and occasionally you give a stiff, formal applause. Juniors, brace up, throw aside your childish ways. Play up and play the game. Although it will be impossible for you to ever reach the high stage of perfection that we Seniors have, yet you might at least drag yourselves from the mire of your own folly and graduate a credit to the school. In closing, remember the standard we have set. Seven men on the first team during the football season, three men on the first five in basketball and always a vast majority of Seniors in evidence in all school activities. Remember the athletic victories of this year have been due wholly to the Seniors. What would basketball have been without Westv. Biff and Orville? What would football have been without the seven husky Seniors who bore the brunt of the contest ? Now, as a final request. I will merely ask you as 1 have before, at least to try to brace up, always holding before you the true light of the standards set up by your best friends, the graduating class, the class of 1922. f () The Chnhrva____________________________________________ 1222. JUNIOR RESPONSE (Wilbur Madden) Four years ago and a little more or less you Seniors entered this High Sehool as mere Freshmen, accustomed to liberty, and apparently dedicated to the proposition that you could do as you pleased. Now we are engaged in a great event. Wo are met in the great Assembly room of this sehool. We are met to speak to you about a few of your faults and to dedicate a portion of these venerable walls as a final resting place for the class picture of those who here gave a portion of their lives that that class might exist. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate more than a couple of square, feet for such a cause; we cannot hallow just plaster and paint, surely we cannot hallow all of these halls for you sapient Seniors. You have classmates who struggled here for a (it)- ) in mathematics, or enough music credits to be graduated, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The school will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it will never forget all of the lovers in the class of ’22 and how they sauntered through the halls, and when school was dismissed sought their favorite trvsting places. It is for ours, the ambitious class of ’23, to be dedicated to your unfinished work which you have dropped in your haste to be graduated with the class of ’22. It is for us to be dedicated to the unfinished work you have left strewn behind, that from your foolish and preposterous mistakes we take increased devotion to that cause for which you thought you gave your last full measure of devotion; that we are here highly resolved never to act egotistically, throw notes, or run away with any of the Freshmen girls, and that your misdemeanors shall not have been in vain. That under our most competent advisers we shall set for our school new standards of class spirit and achievement that shall not perish from the earth. VALEDICTORY (Margaret Mi:tz) Teachers and Friends: The class of 1922 has come to the close of a chapter in life’s great book that will ever stand as a heritage of loving memory and tender recollection as we each take our separate journey out into the great world of life and activity that lies before us. Standing as we do today on the threshold that for many of us means the parting of the ways, would it not be well that we take a backward look for just a moment? Everything with which we have come in contact has left a definite impression upon us. There on the walls of our homes are the pictures that have sometimes seemed monotonous, and yet in their crude lines have become a part of our mental furnishing, and these crude pictures will be in after years almost a sacramental element as the mind dwells in fancy on the years that are gone. Here is the old school whose walls have resounded to the joyous laughter of what has sometimes seemed like thoughtless youth and today we stand in full realization that at least one great goal is reached, and tomorrow and tomorrow and after many tomorrows, we shall wander back and find these doors opening and closing for others that shall follow us. 61 1922. Ths. Qhnhnjg______________________sr-Mltf' ___________________ “Heaven is not gained at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round.” Our first goal has been reached by hard work. Step by step we attained it. What goal shall we now set for ourselves, that that same goal, if reached by us, shall be an inspiration to those who shall come after? What goal shall we choose that will make us a credit to our dear Alma Mater and to these teachers who have worked so patiently and painstakingly to awaken to full expression the best that is in us? How shall we repay our dear parents, our teachers, and the citizens of this great free country of ours for what the public schools have done for us? Are not these questions well worthy thoughtful consideration? The first goal I shall name in life’s long program, is, character. In our study of literature and history we have become familiar with many heroes and heroines whose accomplishments seem to baffle us; men and women of genius whose brilliancy of achievement make them stand out as stars of the first magnitude in the brilliant constellations of high achievement. We hope the class of “22” will bequeath to the record of our school some outstanding genius. That up out of this group may grow some statesman or stateswoman whose name will become a watchword to his or her countrymen; or some poet who may make a name for himself and be as well known and loved as Tennyson or some other; but if it be that such is not the destiny of any members of this class, then may we not all alike, choose the more wondrous goal of the achievement of character? If brilliant deeds and fame be denied to our numbers, there remains the privilege of doing “with our might what our hands find to do,” serving the world in the lessor places, which, after all, is no less important in the great scheme of things, and no less worthy, if worthily done. In Tennyson’s Holy Grail, we have read the story of the young Knight Errant who set out to find the cup that holy men and women of old had seen. The quest carried Sir Galahad through many cities, and through many countries and to many distant places, at times he lost the vision splendid, but he never lost the impulse to achieve and in his quest became a helper to the aged, a defender of the weak, a liberator of the enslaved and above all, one who found forgiveness of his fellow’s wrongs easy within his own heart. There is one goal we may all aspire to, the achievement of a character that shall enrich the world and possibly awaken songs in the desert places of lives that otherwise would he dreary with despair. Tennyson has given us one thought that may well serve us at this time. It is the word to young Merlin, “Out for it, After it, After Ihe Gleam.” There is another story we have read, written by our own James Bussell Lowell, “The Vision of Sir Launfal.” We recall that in this story, the goal that was set too far away almost cheated the young Knight of realization, because the duty that was nearest home was almost forgotten in that faraway look. May we not keep our goal near enough home to remind us that after all the great life is the one that binds the many small achievements into one fine ensemble and when the great school of life closes and we each in turn gather the books that are torn and soiled and say our valedictories to the world, may the world be able to say of each of us, “there is a man, or there a woman, who has achieved character.” We are sorry to leave old C. II. S. after four years of pleasant and happy friendships, and we shall carry with us in memory a lasting and sincere regard for those who have made the winning of this goal possible. From today on may our goals be worthy of our ambitions; and our ideals equally high. 62 ATHLETICS The.

Freshmen—Ellis Vance The Athletic Association was re-organized for the year early in September with the above officers and representatives to the board of control. The equipment for football was found entirely too meager for the candidates who reported for practice. This necessitated the buying of approximately one hundred and fifty dollars worth of equipment to begin the season. This equipment is in good condition and will be available next season. The receipts for the season above expenses amounted to approximately forty-five dollars. At the beginning of the basket ball season all the equipment of the previous season was on hand which helped the financial situation of the treasury. This year a Junior High School team and second team were carried, playing games similar to the schedule of the regular team. The division of the County tournament proceeds gave us a good amount to start our season. The carrying of the three teams kept our expenses about on the level with our receipts; however, a small balance will be realized this year. With all necessary equipment available, the association wishes the association of 1922-1923 a very profitable year. V 63 Th Clintonia________________________________gn_192? The First Team Front row, loft to right: Waldon, McClelland, Ashley, Sharkey, Dowell, Griffin, Reddick, Smallwood. Second row: Glenn, Isonhart, Long, Barrett, Langellier, Lane. Back row: Hoover, Coach; Quealy, Kuch, Harrold, Madden, R. Langellier. FOOTBALL When our new coach, Coach Hoover, came to C. C. II. S. the prospects for a strong football team were very bright, only four letter men being lost by graduation last spring. The “C’' men who were back were Long, Langellier, Sharkey, Dowell, McClelland, Isonhart, Ashley, Smallwood, Ford, Quealey, Griffin, and Reddick and Barrett of the team of T9. The first call for candidates was given September 8th and was answered by about fifty men. Equipment was given out and it was found that much new equipment was needed. The first two weeks were spent in instructing the men in the fundamentals of the game and in limbering up. After this came offensive and defensive instructions. The men and the coach worked hard and it was seen that, barring accidents, our season would l e successful. Maroa The Maroa eleven came to Clinton for the first game of the local season. The Maroon machine scored at will and tried every play they had practiced up to date. Maroa was unable to break up the local offense and the Clinton defense did not allow Maroa to make a first down. Isonhart, Barrett, Langellier and Long made run after run through the line and around the ends. The team, however, showed defects which were worked on and remedied the next week in practice. 64 Jh? Chnfoma__________________________________________________1922. On Saturday, October 1, our camp was invaded by the High School team from McLean but they only succeeded in returning home with a 49-0 defeat. Clinton was able to score at will and never had their goal in danger during the whole game. Isonhart, All-state half-back of last season lived up to his reputation in this game. The next week was spent in learning new plays and scrimmaging very hard against the seconds so we could get into condition. After hard scrimmages and long signal drills we met the Atlanta squad on October 8th, and also managed to give them the small part of a 46-0 score. They came to Clinton as a very strong team on paper but proved very slow in comparison to the Maroon machine. Sharkey and McClelland, center and tackle respectively, played well for the Clinton team. The next week we practiced long and hard each evening perfecting our plays and learning new ones. On Friday, October 14, we faced our opponents on a foreign field for the first time in the season. We met Normal and were defeated by the score of 9-0. This was the bast game of the season up to date. Overconfidence proved a large factor in this game. The feature of this trip was not on the field but on the sidelines, for Clinton had about twice as many backers there as Normal had. On Friday of the next week we left for Peoria via I. T. S. Here we ran up against a team that completely outweighed us and we were defeated to the tune of 66-0 (some tune). 'Phis looked bad but when the fact, that Isonhart, star half-back and McClelland, star tackle were taken from the game in the first quarter on account of injuries, is considered, it gives this game a different appearance. We’ll get ’em yet. This did not dishearten us and every one was out for practice the next iron-day evening. Every one still had the “old fight.’’ We practiced hard the next few evenings preparing to meet the strong Lincoln aggregation. Some fans said we would beat them, others said we would lose and still others said we would not even score on them. The final score was 18-7 in their favor but the score does not indicate the fight that was put up by both teams. In the third period, two long passes (Long to Madden and Long to Isonhart) placed the ball on Lincoln’s 1-yard line. Here the ball was lost on a fumble. Lincoln punted to Barrett on Lincoln’s forty yard line. Long then passed thirty-five yards to Isonhart who was downed on Lincoln’s 1-yard line for the second time. After two futile trials, Isonhart carried the ball over on a mass play. Isonhart kicked goal and the score was 7-6 in Clinton’s favor. In the final period, Lincoln pushed over two more touchdowns, one in a line plunge and one on a pass. They missed both goals. The final score was 18-7. The Chnfnn a____________________tsrJIts TTL________________1922 Clinton was also outweighed at Lincoln but showed a great improvement over previous games. The next week brought with it a victory for the Maroons. They met and defeated University High in the best game of the season. The two teams see-sawed baek and forth down the field until the latter part of the second period, when Clinton scored a touchdown. “ Izie” kicked a perfect goal. Then Clinton went on the defensive a little more. Neither team scored again until the final quarter when Captain Lawrence (U. High) plunged the line for I . High’s only marker. Their attempt at goal was a failure and the game ended a few minutes later, 7-6 in Clinton’s favor. This was the first time in fifteen years that Clinton had beaten U. High. They sure did celebrate in Clinton that night. The next week we were supposed to meet Stonington but were unable to do so on account of the weather conditions. The only game left now was the Thanksgiving game with Pekin This was a very interesting game although Pekin won by the score of 13-6. Long was out of this game on account of injuries. Taking into consideration the teams that Clinton played, a very successful season was realized. Clinton succeeded in piling up 188 points while their opponents succeeded in getting only 102. As a reward for the work they had done thru the season, the entire squad was treated to a banquet, served in the cafeteria by the domestic science department. At this time Carl Isonhart was elected captain of the 1922 team. It is the wish of not only every senior on the squad but every member of the senior class that “Izie” and his team will be successful next year.

Back row, left to right: Coach Hoover, Glenn, Wampler, Quealey, Hartsock, Shumaker and Lane. Second Team Football For the first time in the history of the school, the Clinton second team played regular scheduled games. They played two games. The first was with Decatur Central Junior High which they were successful in wining by a 14-0 count. It was a fast and exciting game with many thrills. The entire Clinton backfield, made up of Hart-sock, Kirk, Kuch and It. Langellier, starred. Kirk and Hartsock hammered the line while Langellier and Kuch went around end for large gains. Their next game was played at Lovington where they were defeated by the same score that they had beat the Decatur team, 14-0. In this game Lane made a 60-yard run off the kick-off but after that the team lacked the punch and pep to put the ball across the goal line. Those who played on the second team were Hartsock, Kirk, Kuch, R. Langellier. Shumaker, Barr, McIntyre, Hubble, Wilson, Brown, Wampler, Hoyt, Burns, Lane, and Glenn. To these men much credit is due for the success of the first team for they are the ones who gave the first team the practice. There is a lot of material here for the first team next year. 07 The Chroma___ 1322. Long—“Biff” (Captain) Fullback The long passes of “Biff” to “Jake” were the cause of the downfall of many teams. His ability on defense is not surpassed by any player we have met on the field. Ilis passes caused much worry to the Lincoln team. Barrett—‘ ‘ Wobbles ’9 Quarter Back Barrett’s greatest asset was to direct the play of the team. His end runs generally resulted in large gains and occasionally in a touchdown. Isoxhart—11 Jake ’ ’ Half Back With his ability to run, pass or kick, “Jake” was one of the most consistent ground gainers. His 80-yard punt in the Lincoln game shows his ability. Sharkey—(‘ Pitch ’, Center We have failed to see his equal for accurate passing; and good judgment on defense. University High found him a stone wall. Langellier—‘ ‘ Son 9 9 Half Back Although the smallest man on the team, Son was a hard worker, good at running interference and always dependable for a good gain. McLean classed him as a deer on account of his end runs. 68 Th Chnhrna______________________!9?P McClelland—1 ( Kisler ’ 9 Tackle uKisler'’ was a tower of strength on defense and offense. His “firm foundation” made him immovable. “Orv” stopped many of the Peoria plays until lie was forced to retire on account of injuries. Smallwood—11 Smally ’ 9 End Smallwood was shifted from tackle to end on account of his speed and ability to “snag” passes. His runs from passes in the Atlanta game helped pile up the 42 points that were amassed. Reddick—11 Willy ’ 9 Tackle Reddick was a steady, consistent player at tackle, stopping all plays sent in his direction. Reddick showed up best in the Atlanta game. Griffin—11 Farmer 9 9 Guard Griffin was the smallest man in the line but in spite of this handicap was the fear of all opposing teams. He was a steady player and a clean hard tackier. Griffin will be with us for two more years. Dowell—1 ‘ Plow-Jockey 9 9 Guard Dowell, one of the veterans of this year’s squad, was beyond a doubt the outstanding linesman of the season. Plays seldom got through Dowell’s side of the line. GU The Chnfoma_____________________ 1922 9 Robert Langellier—“Bob” Half Back Bob was the youngest man of the squad, but his speed and natural ability made up for his lack of experience and he made a valuable substitute for the back field. Lane—‘1 Fluback ,, End Lane was a consistent, steady player. He was dependable and could be depended upon to hold down an end in any game. Lane starred at Normal. Kuch—11 Fredie ’ ’ Half Back Although not a regular on the squad, Kuch was one of Hoover ’s most dependable substitutes and always made a good man to run in, in event of injury. Kuch starred at Lincoln with his tackling. Madden— 1 Widder 19 End Madden was another of Hoover’s dependable reserves. Madden possesses uncanny ability for snagging passes and is a good tackier. His flying tackle in the University High game saved the day for Clinton. Ashley—11 Bun ’y Guard Bun, although not a steady player could, when he settles down to business, furnish any opposing linesman stiff fighting. Ashley showed best against University High. 70 The Chnhn a____________________ 1322. Harrold—‘ ‘ Red ’ 7 End 11 Red ’7 was one of the most reliable substitutes on the entire squad. He could be depended upon to hold down an end in a creditable manner at any time. 11 Red7 7 looked best at Peoria. THE SPIRIT OF FOOTBALL Here’s to the boys who have the grit; Here’s to the boys who the line can hit; The boys who hit ’em square and hard, They hit off tackle and they hit off guard; Win or lose it’s all the same, They fight their best in every game. As warriors did in the days of old. To-day they fight for Maroon and Gold. With helmet, shimmel and leather-cleated shoe, They hit the line and go right through. They hit ’em fast and they hit ’em low, C. C. II. S. Come on! Let’s go! 71 “Biff” Long. The C!infanta______________________________ 1922 THE SQUAD Front Row—Left to Right: Johnson, Stout, Lane, Westerholt, Smallwood, Madden, Long, McClelland, Isonhart, Kuch, Barrett. Back Row: Bianucci, R. Langellier, Walden, Lowe, Ashley, McIntyre, Hartsock, Ford, Harrold, M. Langellier, Kirk, White, and Vance. BASKET BALL I he county tournament now over, attention was turned to a school team. Our first game was to be played December 23. We had practically the same team that we had had on the floor at the tournament last season. The only changes were McClelland for Lighthall and Smallwood for Westerholt. After three nights of practice together, a squad composed of Isonhart, Met lclland, Smallwood, Johnson, Kuch, Stout, Barrett and Long went to Mt. Pulaski for our first game. After practicing on the local floor and just coming from a tournament on a large floor, we were absolutely lost on the Mt. Pulaski floor. The top of the background touched the ceiling so it can be seen that we could not shoot baskets from any distance. After a hard, rough game, we came home hoping that the old adage “a bad beginning makes a good ending” would prove true with us for we had been defeated by the score of 23-10. Considering the amount of practice we had and the handicap of the gymnasium, we still had a fair reputation. We’ll get ’em when they come to Clinton. After two weeks without a game, we were out for blood when we met Normal on January 6, on our own floor. We were determined to start the New Year out with a victory and Normal was our victim. The game started in regular whirlwind fashion. Neither team scored for several minutes, then Normal scored a free throw. Smallwood tied the score with a free throw and the scoring then came very slow. Not until the last half did the Clinton team find the basket, but when they did, they never stopped. The final score was 16-11 in Clinton’s favor. We were glad for two reasons, namely, the Normal football game was avenged and the New Year was started out in the right way. 72 The Chntnma__________________ rM_________________1322. The next evening we were sneeessful again. We went to Atlanta where we won by a margin of eight points, 33-25. It was a good game, being tied at three different times. Every time it was tied, Smally came through with a basket and broke the tie. In the last few minutes he made baskets from all angles. He made three from past the center of the floor in about one minute. He was high point man with nine baskets and five free throws. The next week we had only one game scheduled. It was with our new rival, Maroa whom we gave a 17-16 defeat after a hard, close game. The funny thing about this game was that Clinton was not ahead during the game until the last few seconds when they made a basket and charged ahead with a one-point margin. Smally also made this basket. Although it was Friday 13, it proved no “Jinx” to the first team although the seconds had a little hard luck. On Saturday of the next week we went to Bkment where we were again successful in winning. We won from them by the score of 20-17. This was also a close game. It was hard and rough but very clean. After the game we were treated to a “Fried Rabbit Supper” which went fine after the game. The next week we were to get our revenge if we intended to get any. We were going to play Mr. Pulaski on our own floor. We were all set for the slaughter and when the whistle announced the start of the game every one was on his toes. We beat them by a score of 29-18 but it was not very much of a slaughter. It was a rough game and it was plainly seen that Clinton was out for revenge. The next evening we played Maroa on our own floor. This was also a rough game. Both sides committed many fouls. Clinton succeeded in winning with a score of 30-25. The second team were also successful in winning from the Maroa seconds bv the score of 24-9. The next week we met Atlanta whom we were successful in defeating but it was not without a hard fight. linton was off form and in no condition to play. Before the game every one of the Clinton players was lying around in the lobby of the V without enough pep to get up. The worst part of it was that they did not get very much pep when they went out onto the floor for they did not play basket ball at all. They finally came out of this slump in the last quarter and won by the score of 23-13. 73 The Chnhnia 132Z The next, night we played Bement and were nosed out by a three-point margin after a hard fought game. The final score was 33-30. This was one of the best games of the season despite the fact that Clinton was beaten. This was Captain Westerholt’s first appearance and he showed up well, making ten baskets and 7 free throws. The absence of Isonhart and Smallwood proved a large factor in this defeat. The next night we played Pontiac and beat them by the overwhelming score of 36-11. In this game Westy made a free throw from the center of the floor. Isie threw him the ball on the side, about half way between the baskets and every one stopped perfectly still while Westy took deliberate aim and dropped it through without hitting the ring. The next week end we took a trip that no team from Clinton had ever taken before. We went from Clinton to Chicago and from Chicago to La Grange where we played and were defeated 32-24. We went back into Chicago the next morning and went to Rockford where we were beaten by the score of 39-29. This was a good game and Rockford was not on “easy street” until the last few minutes of the game. Although we were beaten in both games we left Rockford with a feeling of friendship and a good reputation. It is quite possible that the team next year will take a trip similar to this one and it is the wish of every Senior that they were back to make this trip next year. The next week both teams, along with about two hundred rooters, went to Decatur on Friday evening, where we were defeated by the score of 20-19. It was a very uninteresting game until the last few minutes. Up until that time the Clinton team could not get started and Decatur was in the lead about ten points. In these last few minutes Clinton started to “hitting,” with Westy shooting from all angles. We came within one point of the Decatur score and after that we could not hit the basket at all. It was here that we remained until the final whistle. The next night we played the Lincoln team and succeeded in beating them to the tune of 73-14. If we could only have had part of this luck against Decatur there would have been a different story to tell. The papers described it as an opera given by the Dramatic Club of C. C. II. S. featuring the basket ball squad. The title of this comedy was, “Butchered to .Make a Roman Holiday.” The victims were represented by the Lincoln team. Although Lincoln had a man that made Biff Long look little, he caused no trouble. This game ended a successful season for the Clinton team with the exception of the tournament. We closed the season with nine victories and five defeats with a percentage of .643 which is not so bad. 74 The CInterna_________________________ 92P SUMMARY Mt. Pulaski 23 C. C. II.

He was also all-star forward at the Decatur District Tournament. Long—‘( Biff 9 9 Guard Long, Hoover 8 rangy guard, was the main stay of the powerful Clinton defense. Long stopped most opposing plays and also had a good eye for the basket. Long was all-star guard at the District Tournament. ►Smallwood—'f Smalley 9 9 Forward Smallwood was scoring ace throughout the entire first half of the season. He is a fast, heady player and a very good shot. His guarding and floor work was also very good. Ison ifart—' Jake ' , Guard Jake was the fear of all opposing forwards. Jake was a heady, consistent player and was also a clever shot. McClelland—‘ ‘ Kisler9 9 Guard Kisler showed his ability early in the season and became a regular on the first squad. Kisler played excellent basketball at the Decatur Tournament and deserved a place on the all-star. 76 The CJnfonia_________________________ 1922 Johnson—‘ Roller ’’ Forward Johnson was one of the fastest men on the floor. His ability to shoot from tight places with accuracy and speed made him a valuable aid to Hoover’s squad. Stout—“Johnny” Guard Although Johnny was not a regular of the first team, he was a valuable and dependable substitute. John’s whirlwind floor work is an outstanding feature of the season. Barrett—■ 1 Runt ’ ’ Forward Barrett was a scrappy player; was fast and a good dribbler. Runt didn’t find his eye for the basket until the latter part of the season but came out of the kinks at the tournament and won himself a place on the second all-star team. Krm—“Col. Cootie'’ Forward Kucli was another of Hoover’s dependable substitutes. Kuch could always be counted upon to go into the game and make a good showing. Kuch was also a good utility man. Lane—‘ ‘ Fluback ’ ’ Guard Lane was a dependable, cool headed player. He had the ability to work in well with any combination and was a valuable reserve. Lane also had a good eye for the hoops. - 77 THr Chninma__________________________________________________ 1322 THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Tournament was held at Decatur, March 2, 3, and 4. Those who represented Clinton were Westerholt (Capt.), McClelland, Johnson, Barrett, Isonhart, Smallwood, Long, Walden, Kuch and Lane. The tournament this year was divided into two classes. They were Class A and Class B. The teams in Class A were: Newman. Bement, Clinton, Sullivan, Mt. Pulaski, Atwood, Decatur and Lovington. Those in Class B were: Weldon, Maroa. Arthur, Bethany, Kenney, Dawson, Argenta, Mowcaqua and Wavnesville. Clinton had been saving up for this tournament and they went to the tournament with the idea of copping the championship. They realized that Atwood would be their strongest opponents: still they thought that if they fought that they could overcome this team. It came as a severe jolt to some people when Atwood defeated us but to any one who saw the game it was all right; for Atwood had beaten us fairly. That is the sentiment of the Clinton players and backers. Our first game was with Sullivan on Thursday evening. We were not able to get going and so we were barely successful in nosing out with a 28-21 victory. This made us play on Friday afternoon at four o’clock. After a rest and a talk concerning the Newman team, we went to the -Gym to meet them on the basket-ball floor. We were afraid they would give us a hard fight as they had defeated Bement on Thursday afternoon and Bement had beaten us during the season. However, they were unable to hit the basket as they had against Bement and so we beat them by the score of 30-5. This put us into the semi-finals against Atwood. Atwood had won the admiration of everyone at the tournament with their passing game and it was up to Clinton to break this game up. Well—we succeeded in breaking this up but we only found that they were also good at taking long shots and making them. Both teams were “hot” on baskets. Westerholt and Barrett were counting for Clinton while Harshbarger and Ware were doing the scoring for the opponents. We were beaten in the fastest game of Ihe tournament by the score of 26-19. Clinton showed.the old spirit and they did not give up until Ihe final gun. Although we were beaten, we took our defeat as true sportsmen should as was demonstrated in the evening when we played the Wavnesville team for third place. The following piece was clipped from the Decatur Herald: CLINTON WINS FROLIC IN SEMI-FINAL TILT “Clinton ‘nosed out’ Wavnesville for third place in the Decatur district defeating them 48 to 33 in a “satire on basket-ball” featuring “Shorty” Sherman the diminutive Wavnesville center. Called into action in the first half by popular demand, Sherman jumped center with Long, rangy Clinton center who made the all-star team as guard, contributed a field goal to the score and was withdrawn. The game was a farce from the start. It included some rare exhibitions of courtesy, as when a Waynesville man, ready to make a difficult pass and finding the way blocked by a burly Clinton guard, politely requested the latter to step to one side and the request was gracefully complied with. The climax was reached when the umpire tossed a few for Waynesville and the score keeper lost count.” Although Clinton losl the tournament the honor of Clinton athletics was upheld. Clinton also succeeded in placing two men on the all-star team and one man on the second all-star team. 78 The Chnhn o -■fa? J322.

It was a. success in every sense of the word. In every game the two teams were well matched and some good games were played. The teams who were entered were Wapella, Weldon, Farmer City, Waynesville, Kenney, and three from the Clinton High School (one from the Senior Class, one from the Junior Class and one from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes). Weldon won the tournament when they defeated Farmer City by a score of 19-17. The Clinton Juniors and Weldon were the favorites but the Clinton Juniors had hard luck in hitting the basket and lost two of their first three games. On the other hand Farmer City and the Clinton Seniors proved to be the dark horses of the tournament. However, they met in the semi-finals and the Clinton Seniors were defeated in a fast game. This put Farmer City into the finals against Weldon who had defeated Wapella in the semi-finals. It might be added that the tournament was won last year by the Clinton Juniors (now Seniors) and also that the Seniors this year were the only ones that defeated the Champions. They defeated the winners in the second round of the tournament by the score of 16-15. It was one of the fastest and hardest fought games of the tournament. However they received third place. Clinton had the honor of having three men on the all-star team. They were Johnson (Senior), Isonhart (Junior), and Long (Senior). Here’s hoping the shield is brought back to Clinton next year. 79 The Olinfnnia____________mrJUki Weldon..........30 (1) 2:00 p.m. Fri. Wapella......... 8 C. H. S. Seniors.28 (2) 3:00 p.m. Fri.

This year the first team was exceptionally fortunate in having a second team that could give them a good practice and also knew the finer points of the game. These essential points in a second team made it possible for the first team to learn what to do under different circumstances. This year, besides helping the first team, the seconds played eight games. They succeeded in winning four out of the eight which gave them a percentage of .500. They also succeeded in obtaining 112 points while their opponents amassed 126 points. This was not such a bad showing when it is considered that they played about three first teams out of these eight games.

Farmer City at Farmer City. They were not used to the low ceiling and could not dodge posts like the Farmer City men. These two factors figured largely in the defeat which they suffered. The final score was 22-4. The Farmer City players were also successful in grabbing a post and making a stop or a whirl. SO The Chnbma____________________________________________________4222. Their next game was played at Maroa where they were nosed out by a one-point margin. The final score was 10-9. The funny thing about this game was that the Maroa seconds did not make a Held goal, winning by free throws. The Clinton seconds outplayed the Maroaites but were not used to the small floor and made many fouls which beat them. The next game was played at home. It was the first game at home. It was with the Herald Bantams from Decatur. The Bantams started out very fast but the steady, consistent playing of the seconds soon wore them down and then the seconds started hitting the basket and finally won by the close score of 15-14. I [artsock was high point man with 7 points while Kirk was second with 4. Their next game was also played at home. It was with the Maroa Seconds and the Clinton players were out for revenge. They sure did get that revenge for they trounced the Maroa quintet by the score of 24-9. The guarding of R. Langellier and Walden was the feature of this game. The next game was played with the Junior High and they came very near getting trimmed. Ducsing was the outstanding star of this game. He would come up to the seconds and dribble out around them or shoot over their heads. Finally, however, the seconds succeeded in pulling through with a 23-20 victory. Next they played the first team from Deland who proved very slow in comparison to the seconds. Although they were not very fast they were scrappy and gave the seconds a good game. The final score was 23-12 in favor of the seconds. The next week they played the Herald Bantams at Decatur but were not very successful as they were defeated to the tune of 11-5. The seconds seemed to have the “bucks” and could not hit the basket. The next night they played Farmer City on the local floor and were beaten in a slow game. The Farmer City team had improved too much for the seconds although they fought for everything they got. They beat the seconds by the score of 28-9. This ended the season for the seconds. They had been very successful and every one was satisfied. 81 The Clintonia______________________________ 1922 Madden— ‘ Cedar ’ Forward ‘1 Cedar ’ ’ is a consistent player. He is a hard fighting man and he knows the game well enough to keep his opponent bothered at all times. K. Langellier—“Bob” Guard “Bob” was a steady player who caused the opposing team much trouble. He was a good man on defense and also was a good man when it came to working the ball down under the basket. “Bob” should make a strong bid for a regular position next year. Lowe—“Cocky” Center Lowe was the ideal pivot man on the second team this year. He was a good man on either offense or defense. He was always on ‘1 deck ’1 and ready for a play. Lowe should also make a good bid for the first team next year. Walden—(1 Cow ’ ’ Guard “Cow” is a real back guard and will no doubt hold down that position on the first team next year. He is exceptionally good when he has about three opponents coming at him at the same time. That is when he can play best. Hartsock—‘ ‘ Sausage ’, Forward “ Raz ” was one of the great scoring machines of the second team. He played his best game against the “Bantams” from Decatur. He made 7 out of the 15 points that the seconds made. 82 The Clinhnia 1222. Langellier—‘1 Langie ’ ’ Guard “Langie,” the utility man of the second squad, could he depended upon to fill any position required of him. ‘ ‘ Langie ’ ’ was a fast and scrappy player and performed best at guard. McIntyre—‘ ‘ Mac Cushion Bottom ’ ’ Guard McIntyre was one of the best guards that the seconds had. He was one of the mainstays of the defense in the second team. He was always dependable in a pinch to put up an airtight game on defense. THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls’ Athletic Association was organized in the fall of 1921 under the direction of Miss Ladd, with Claire Whalen as president, Alice Carter, vice-president, and Edna Earle Weld, secretary-treasurer. Class representatives were chosen to keep records of the points made by each girl toward winning an honor. The honors are Class Numeral for 150 points, School Letter for 300 points, State Ring for 450 points and State Pin for 600 points. Meetings were held two days of each week, after school hours. During the winter months folk-dancing and posture exercises were taken up and basket ball teams were organized. In April, 1922. a basket ball tournament was held in the Washington school gymnasium. Teams from the grade schools competed with the two High School teams. The upper-class team of the association won first place. Plans are being made for an outdoor exhibition to be held sometime this spring. 83 The Ohnfnnm ____________132Z. JUNIOR HIGH BASKET BALL The Clinton Junior High School basket ball team was organized for the first time. It was composed of Freshman and grade school players. This team averaged about 130 lbs. and was coached by Mr. Perkins, the manual training instructor. During the season this team played seven games and won three of them. They lost four. This was not so bad for the initial season of this organization. Their first game was with the Wapella Seconds in which they were defeated by the score of 19-21. This was not a bad score as this was their first game and was away from home. At the end of the first half the score stood 9-3 in favor of the Juniors but the small players could not hold up under the larger Wapella men and also they were running in fresh men all the time. Duesing was high point man with 17 points. Their next game they had about as much luck as they had had the other game and were defeated 21-23. They played at Farmer City where they have four large iron posts in the center of the fioor. The Juniors had the same trouble that the second team had. This was their inability to grab a post and stop as quick as the Farmer City men did. Nevertheless, they gave them a scrap that they wll long remember. Fans who saw the game said that the Juniors outplayed the Farmer City team and deserved to win. Duesing was also high point man in this game get ting his usual 17 points. The Juniors were successful in their next game. They played Champaign Junior High and defeated them by the score of 15-10 on Champaign’s own fioor. This was also a hard game but the Juniors led their opponents from the start. This game put the pep into the Juniors for they saw that they were not going to lose all their games and this helped them the next week. Their next game was with Urbana Junior High at Clinton. Again they were successful in overcoming their opponent. This time the score being 22-15. The Juniors outplayed the Urbana Juniors and with Duesing shooting up to usual form the contest was easy. Although it was an easy victory it was a rough game and many fouls were called. Duesing was high scorer with 16 points and Vance was second with 4. Their next game was the game for revenge. They played Wapella Seconds on the Clinton floor. They sure got that revenge too. They piled up a large score in the first half and then rested while the second string men played with Wapella for a while. They beat them 33-14. It was in this game that Duesing “went wild” and made 25 of his team’s 33 points. 84 .The. Chnhrua_________________ ----m H1L 2221_____________________1322. Next followed two games with Hoover’s Seconds both of which was lost by the Juniors. The Juniors showed up well against the seconds even if they did lose both games. The feature of these games was the way Duesing would go up to a big man and pivot or dribble out around him. These games ended the season for the Juniors and they realized that they had started an organization that would probably grow into one of the main athletic attractions of the school in the future years. They also realized that they had started this organization in a most satisfactory and agreeable manner. Although some of the men will be lost for next season, the Juniors will no doubt have a good team on the floor next year. Duesing (Captain) was one of the best shots ever seen on the local floor. He was the individual star in every game. He seldom missed a shot at the iron hoop and also played a good floor game. At Farmer City he succeeded in caging eleven free throws out of thirteen chances. White at forward was a menace to all opposing guards. Ilis clever passing to Duesing was his greatest asset. Maxwell at center played a good game all season. He played a steady game at all times. Andrews, an eighth grader, won for himself a position at guard where he easily furnished plenty of trouble for his opponents. He will make a good man for next year’s team. Vance, the other guard, held down his position well and became noted for his close guarding. He made an ideal running-mate for Andrews. Underwood, another eighth grader, came out about the middle of the season and easily won a place as utility man; substituting often at center. With Andrews, he will help make a strong Junior High team next season. Ford, though small, is fast and furnished plenty of worry and trouble for his opposing players. Pennington came out late in the season but in the last game, against Urbana, he showed up well, playing A-l brand of basket ball. COUNTY TRACK MEET A track meet and oratorical contest was conducted by the DeWitt County Athletic Association this spring the same as last. At the time the Clintonia went to press the meet had not yet been held but the plan was to hold it Saturday, May 20th. The following schools were to be represented: Wapella, Waynesville, Weldon, Kenney, Farmer City and Clinton. Clinton entered three class teams from ihe three upper classes. Oratorical, declamation and Girls’ Glee Club contests were held. 85 The-CMntonia_______________________ 1922 BASEBALL The first baseball practice was held April 10th. It was planned to have class teams and play a class tournament but these plans were abandoned and a varsity team was organized. Sharkey, veteran third baseman, of last year’s team, was elected captain and games were arranged for. The first game was played at Decatur on April 29th, and was won by the score of 8-2. The first inning was a “jinx” for Decatur for the Clinton “nine” sent across four runs. Decatur could not get started and did not score until 1 lie sixth inning. Clinton scattered their remaining four runs through the remaining innings. Clinton got 13 hits while Decatur earned only 10. The next game was played May 6th at Weldon The Clinton aggregation also succeeded in winning this game. They won this by the score of 11-3. This was a most interesting game in spite of the one-sided score. At the time the Clintonia went to press these were the only games played but plans were being made for more games.

The Chnhmo________________ 1922 HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Our High School Orchestra is one of the best High School orchestras in the state. The High School has always been fortunate in having a number of good musicians in school and the interest has always been high. This year’s orchestra is no exception to previous years and consequently their music is highly appreciated whenever they appear before the public. The orchestra furnished music for the Senior Play, Parental Club, and have been on several other programs this winter and within all probability will be called on to play several times more this spring.

The Girls Glee Club is one of the oldest organizations in the High School and has always maintained a high standard. Although the Glee Club does not appear often in public when they do they generally make quite an impression. The Girls’ Glee Club this year is very good and it is expected that they will carry off the honors at the County Contest this spring.

All classes, first year, Caesar class, and Virgil class organized at the first of the year. Each class elected two consuls, a praetor-quaestor and a tribunus. Also one aedile was elected from each class to form a social committee for the department. Each club also chose a name and motto. The Caesar class held a candy sale in the High School to earn money for the expenses of the Christmas tree. The Virgil class had a candy sale to earn money to pay the expenses of the first Classical entertainment from the University of Illinois. Prof. Barton gave a very interesting lecture on the Rome of the Caesars. The lecture was enriched by his own personal experiences in Rome and Italy. The Latin Department had their usual Christmas tree for 73 poor children. The boys made wooden chests and wagons for them and the girls dressed dolls. The Latin I classes prepared bags of popcorn and home-made candy for each child. Such a merry time as they had! The first year class held a party in the High School one Saturday night in January. After they had enjoyed bob-sledding for an hour an enjoyable evening followed for all at the High School. In March the Language Department was very successful in putting on at the Clintonia Theater a six reel motion picture of the life of Caesar. Part of the money was used to pay for a victrola, and a neat sum was laid way “for a rainy day.” Latin Week was held in April, being the second one held in C. C. H. S. The Vadu Club or the Virgil class published an interesting Latin newspaper for the benefit of the coming Latin students. The Caesar class gave a Latin play, “Tirones.” The week was crowded full of activities and was a great success. HI-Y CLUB The Rural HI-Y Club is an organization of High School boys who come from the Rural Schools to the High School. This is the third year of this organization, and it has grown in number every year, until at the present time it has about twenty-five regular members. Every member of the group is a member of the “Y,” and in this way the High School and “Y” are becoming more closely connected. Meetings were held each Thursday of the week and a prominent business man from the city spoke to us on a subject given him from a book that the club possessed. Our most important meeting of the year was held in honor of Mr. Todinen, a “Y” secretary who has been working in China for several years. He gave the boys a very interesting talk on his work as a secretary. Each member of the club invited a guest from the High School and in this way we had about forty students at the meeting. The club met early this fall and reorganized, electing the following officers: President, Guernsey McConkey, Vice-President, Carl Dowell, Secretary, Merle Griffin, and Treasurer, Wayne Sprague. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. S. I). Campbell for the success of the club, as he has been an active booster for us since he has been connected with the “Y” in this city. 89 The Ohnhnm 1322 THE CAFETERIA The Cafeteria had almost completed the third year of its history. Three years ago as we stood in the old, dark, basement room we hardly dared imagine the Cafeteria of today. The ceiling, pillars, doors, and wood work were painted, the walls were tinted, an efficient lighting system was installed, and our room was ready for use. The board of education of District 60 purchased an equipment adequate to serve those who would probably attend. The steam table, disb washer, large stoves, tables, and chairs were placed and with an adequate supply of kitchen utensils, the dining room was ready to be opened by the second semester. Mrs. Chandler was our first cook but resigned because of ill health after four months. Mrs. Minnie Hill next took the position and was our dependable helper until March 14 of this year, when Mrs. W. I). Ford took the place promising to finish out the year. The second year opened with the understanding that all students should use the Cafeteria in which to eat their lunches whether they purchased the hot lunch or brought their own. At the end of the first semester we found we needed more table and shelf space, and the Manual Training Department under Mr. Saalwaehter’s direction made the three sets of shelves and the one over the table. Miss Xeeld, Mr. W. S. Harrold, and Mr. Stout donated their services with the paint brush and the entire service became a dainty clean white. During Mr. Nelson’s time a new set of shelves was added for desserts. The tables were found to be unsatisfactory as it was almost impossible to keep them clean. Mr. Stout, assisted by some of the boys, varnished the tops which vastly improved appearances and made the cleaning a simple matter. The attendance has varied from about seventy-five in very stormy days to an average of about twenty-five. Like all new enterprises it takes time to convince the people that the new arrangement is really worth while. We have noticed a more intelligent selection of foods, and a large number adding some hot dish to the cold meal. We feel that the present strain and stress of financial difficulties has kept the students from patronizing the Cafeteria to its fullest extent. But we are coming to the end of this year with a favorable outlook and we feel that the result has amply justified the time, efforts, and money spent to bring it unto its present useful place in the school system. This article would be incomplete without adding a word of thanks to those who have helped in the work. Mr. Stout has been patient and willing to do many extra tasks for us and we wish to express our appreciation for his help. Doris Risher who graduates this year has served the students kindly and efficiently for two years and we shall be sorry to lose her help in June. The students also are deserving of our thanks. They have always been courteous, considerate, and patient, even when unavoidably delayed. Their help in keeping the room orderly and tidy by returning the trays and depositing waste paper in the basket at the door has made work lighter for those who kept the room in order and we thank them. We hope that the work which it has taken to bring the Cafeteria to its present position shall not have been in vain, and that it may continue to be of real service to the students for many years to come. 90 M. H. Gibson. Thf Clintnnin mL DRAMATIC CLUB The literary society of the High School is the Dramatic Club. It is conducted under the auspices of the English department and its membership is obtained from among the students who have the highest English grades with other grades correspondingly high. There are fifty members—one-half of whom are Seniors, the rest Juniors and Sophomores. The purpose of the club is to promote an interest in the better class of drama. Members of the club present at the regular weekly meeting reports on various dramatic authors, famous one-act, plays, etc. The “Little Theater,1' a rather new and important organization in theatrical circles, has been studied in its many different phases. During the year, one-act plays are presented to the club by some of the more talented members who are supervised by an English instructor. One of the most charming of these playlets was “Suppressed Desires,” by a present day American authoress. The cast seemed especially well suited to this play. Of course the social side is by no means neglected, as one might be led to believe considering the “brainy” company. There has been an oyster stew and a waffle supper. One thing has been proved—the Dramatic Club members sure like to eat. The Dramatic Club is concluding a very successful second year and much hope is entertained for the future of this comparatively new organization. It opens up a new and interesting field for adventurous students and promotes a higher standard of scholarship among all. 91 The C inhma 1322. Members of the C. C. H. S.

The officers of the club are president. vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. At each meeting a committee is appointed by the president, whose duty it is to provide a program for the following meeting. A roll call of ancient names opens each program. The program is given for information and deals with the life and ways of famous people of ancient times. Dialogues, debates and speeches are used from time to time. “Our Club”— You should visit our ancient history class on club day. Some of you may wonder what is done on club day. Well, that is when different pupils of our ancient history class report to the rest of the class interesting topics concerning what we study in ancient history. We have a dandy club. Of course, we had to organize our club and elect officers. Our club follows the ways and customs of the Grecian people. Our officers are the general and a council, consisting of five people. The rest of the class represents an assembly. The general presides over an assembly in the same manner as the president does in modern clubs. The name of our club is the “Philadelphian Club.” On club day the general, of course, takes charge of the assembly and the first thing is roll call, after which a program is given. When some of our topics are given the girls and boys represent different Grecian people and carry on a little dialogue. Others give us much information and teach us the ways and customs of ancient people. Before these topics arc given to the students the council meets with the general and helps him or her decide on a program. Another interesting thing about our club is the voting. We, of course, vote as the Greeks did. The general puts the question before the assembly and all in favor say “yes and all opposed “no,” the loudest sound carrying the votes. Miss Renich says our club is the most interesting club the ancient history classes have had for a long time. Our club has about thirty-five pupils in it, are all smart, too, when it comes to reporting before the class or assembly on club day. I hope next year the ancient history classes may have as interesting a club as our eleven-fifteen organization has been this year. 1 ’m sure all of you would be glad to visit our club and learn how the Greeks lived, what their occupations were, what kind of houses they lived in, how they dressed, and many other interesting things of ancient times. 02 The CInfanta. rs ht 132Z. FRENCH CLUB The French Club has been organized for only two years. The officers of the club are a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. There is also a program committee and a social committee. The purpose of the Club is to create a French atmosphere and to become better acquainted with the life and government of the French people. Very interesting programs are given. Some are musical, some about the lives and works of French artists and writers, and some concerning French life and government. The French Club has the use of nine French folk song records and also a record of Samson and Delihah which is sung by Caruso. These records are a donation of the Board of Education. The French Club as a whole has been very successful. It is the belief of both class members and the instructor that the club system has been quite successful in the French work. It has not only proved itself an interesting diversion but has aroused a more keen interest in the work. It is the plan of the French Department to observe the French May Festival. LA CERCLE FOYER The girls of the Home Economics Department were invited to a party at the home of Miss Gibson. Mrs. W. S. Harrold gave the girls a talk on the organization of the work in the Clinton Schools. She spoke of its value to our girls, saying that there was no greater work in the world than “Home Making,” and that all girls should be educated to fill so responsible a position. At this time the girls voted to organize a Home Economics Club. As there was a similar club in the city they decided to find a name. Miss Ross of the Latin Department sent a list of three. After consideration the one at the head of this article was selected and a suitable motto “Keep the Home Fires Burning” was chosen. We planned to have one social event each month. The first was a Christmas party to which the faculty was invited. Jolly games and a Christmas tree made the event a happy one. In February a Mother’s Day was held at the home of Mrs. Sharkey. Mothers of the members were invited as guests of the girls. Quotations regarding mothers were read by each girl, and the program closed with the girls gathering around the piano and singing M-O-T-H-E-R. Mrs. Sharkey presented the mothers with carnations. The meeting in April combined fun with the regular program. Each girl took part in an entertainment, dressing in a costume of a previous century. Mildred Overy played numbers suited to the occasion represented. Faun Luttrell dressed as Folly read quotations appropriate to the Century represented. The two and one-half mile wagon ride, over the muddy roads added fun to the occasion. Mrs. Blue proved a generous hostess, having a chicken dinner waiting for us. A picnic is planned to be held at the country home of Berniece Marr as soon as the weather permits outdoor affairs. Our last meeting will be held as a farewell to our Senior members who are promising us a fine time when we meet at the Persinger farm in May. We have had the usual discouragements accompanying new organizations but we feel that the organization has really been a success, and many of the girls are making suggestions for next year. Our officers are: President, Leafy Whitehead; Vice-President, Cebu Miller; Secretary, Madelene Lett; Treasurer, Gailc Persinger. 93 The Chnhnia____________________ 1922 LATIN WEEK Latin Week was held last spring and was successful. This year it was held again and was much more successful. Tuesday afternoon a reception for the parents was given. Those present expressed surprise and admiration at the work done by the Latin Department. Posters and booklets were on exhibition. Wednesday was Eighth grade day. A very interesting program was given. Students from the department told of the advantages of Latin and why students should take it. A Latin playlet and some historical tableaus were given by the beginning Latin classes; Latin songs were also sung by these classes. The Eighth grade pupils of the city attended in a body. A supper was given Thursday evening to those who had had two years of Latin and to those in the department. Interesting talks were given by Mr. Roy Johnson, Superintendent of County Schools; Mr. E. T. Robbins of the “Farm Bureau;” Mr. L. 0. Williams, President of the Board of Education; Miss Geneva Gregory, Rollin Johnson and Lois Rudasill. Latin Week closed Friday afternoon with a play, “Tironcs,” meaning “The Recruits.” The story took place in Italy on the day called the “Liberalia,” the day on which young men become of age and donned the toga of a man. Two young men enlisted in war under the command of Caesar and had many exciting adventures. The play was interesting to all. Much interest has been shown toward Latin this year and it is hoped that this interest may be maintained. THE FRESHMAN WEINER ROAST, OCTOBER 19, 1921 Voices from the corridors of the woods surrounding the beautiful infant lake of wonderful renown, located in Weld’s pasture, would have told our august Seniors, less august Juniors, and least august Sophomores, had they but taken time to notice, that we Freshmen had arrived and were enjoying the preparations for a weiner roast. This was the first social affair of the Freshman Class of ’21. Out of one hundred seventy-five Freshmen about fifty attended. (Pretty good showing for Freshies.) We invited the faculty, but only a few were able to attend. One automobile and several Fords were provided for those who were not able to walk. The first sad accident to cause delay was a puncture in the left-hind tire of Miss Renich’s Ford. A naughty little Sophomore who didn’t know any better, stole the key out of Raymond Fink’s Ford, thinking it would delay him from the weiner roast, but Raymond slipped one over on him and used his knife. Next Hienie Neill and Chad Morse, after a hard battle, bravely killed a large rattle snake about five and seven-sixteenths inches long. Finally we arrived on the scene where the fun began. The boys gathered the fire wood and the girls fixed the eats. It wasn’t long before the fire was burning brightly. Everyone ran to get a stick. Of course, Bert Wilson was the first one to get a weiner. Miss Wynd just couldn’t get enough dill pickles. Many enjoyable games were played after supper and everyone left feeling glad 1 hat he was a member of that class. 95 The Clin fan a____________________________ 1922 SOPHOMORE WEINER ROAST According to custom the Sophomores held their annual weiner roast at Salt Creek, Monday, October 17. It was decided to hike out. However, autos proved to do most of the hiking. Miss Renich and Miss Conrad stoutly declared they should walk, but changed their minds when a Ford came past. A few boys who needed the fresh air and exercise walked all the way. After everyone arrived safe and sound at a select spot, an exploring party started in search of the old historical caves in that vicinity. A few stayed to watch the eats. Miss Gibson performed this duty both skillfully and efficiently with the aid of a ten-foot, wand-like stick, and Mr. Perkins, who also aided in guard duty, gave many helpful suggestions about the proper size wood for the fire. When the weary explorers returned, the feast started. Miss Gibson and Miss Smith saw to it that everything possible was secured with the “quarters” to make a royal spread, which everyone enjoyed to the fullest extent. When everybody had eaten his proportion of two and a half weiners, three deep was played. A few distant sounds of thunder broke up the merry-making, and the autos started for town, that is, all except two Fords, although they had good intentions, they merely thought seven o’clock too early to go home. JUNIOR PICNIC On Friday, September 23, all the loyal members of the Junior class and several faculty members set out in numerous automobiles and “flivers” for the well known place of Weldon Springs. After a safe arrival (without any mishaps) everyone rushed for the pavilion, where we were entertained by some “mewsic. ” Next the sedan came and with it our honored faculty members. Immediately a crowd (boys excluded) started for the dam. There Miss Frieda Smith delightfully entertained us with her knowledge of Zoology by experimenting with a dead cray fish. Everyone began to feel hungry so we went back to our woodpile, and with the aid of matches and gasoline from Clint’s Ford, Ihe fire was started. The football boys arrived and everyone pitched in. Such a picnic, why we just had everything from mustard to ice-cream. Some members still wonder what became of the extra cones. Some know and some made a pretty good guess. THE JUNIOR PARTY On January 19 the Junior Class held its first party at the home of Jessie Miller. As it had snowed a day or so before, it was decided to make the trip in bob-sleds. For some reason or other when we got to the meeting place, instead of bobs we found Obermeyer’s big truck so we all piled in and started. The roads were rather slick and when the truck got to a little hill it wouldn’t go farther. So the driver and some of the boys put the chains on and then it went all right. The committee in charge had gone out there early in the afternoon and everything was fixed for a good time. Various games were played and refreshments were served. We got back to town about eleven thirty. 96 The Chntnma 1322. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEFI'ION The annual Junior-Senior Reception was held May 30, 1922, in the High School building. The cafeteria and the lower and upper corridors were used and were beautifully decorated in the school colors, maroon and gold. The feature of the evening’s entertainment was a radio concert. The remainder of the evening was spent in games and various sorts of amusement. The Juniors proved very capable hosts and entertained their Senior friends in a royal manner. The climax of the evening’s entertainment was the refreshments which were served in the cafeteria. The cafeteria was beautifully decorated for the occasion with the Senior Class flower, the Ward rose. The Seniors departed feeling that this was a fitting social close for their High School career. GIRLS’ PEP MEETING During a class meeting one of the boys suggested that the girls have a pep meeting. It was just before the University High football game and we wanted to win this time. We wanted just to show the boys that if they could play real football, we could put on a real pep meeting. Instead of having just an ordinary pep meeting, we had a “Senior Girls’ Spinstrel Show.” Some of the girls and a faculty member used their poetic ability by writing some very clever parodies on some of the popular songs, “Mammy,” “All By Myself,” “Peggy O’Neil,” and others too numerous to mention. Besides our songs we had a lot of jokes and some poetry written and given by C. Claire Whalen. Someone overheard Claire say that her ambition was to be a chorus girl and we believe if she keeps on her dreams will come true. We aroused a lot of pep that had been stored away for some length of time and by the time we had finished our part of the program and the coach took charge, everyone was confident of a victory the next day. It does pay to get up a lot of enthusiasm and pep and we surely felt well paid for all the time it took to practice because the next day Clinton realized the greatest victory of the season. THE HOWELLS COME Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Field Secretaries for the World Purity League, were in Clinton. Arrangements were made by the Board of Education to allow the students the privilege of hearing Mr. and Mrs. Howell. Mrs. Howell talked to the girls in the assembly room and Mr. Howell made an address to the boys in the Washington School gymnasium. The Howells were very interesting speakers and we feel that their visit has made a lasting impression upon the minds of the student body. PROFESSOR BARTON Arrangements were made by Miss Ross of the Latin Department to secure Prof. Barton of the University of Illinois, to lecture on “The Rome of the Caesars.’’ Prof. Barton’s lecture was highly instructive and interesting. He also showed many interesting views of Ancient Rome. A large crowd of students and townspeople were in attendance. 97 The Chnfnma_______________ _____122TL SENIOR BOB-SLED PARTY A large number of Seniors and several faculty members were entertained by Leafy Whitehead at her home, south of town, January 26, 1922. We rode out to Whitehead’s on a bob-sled. After we arrived we played games, sang and had the usual good time that our class is noted for. Before starting back to town “the best refreshments” were served. The trip back was considerably more trying than the one out. There were a number of hills to go up and it was found to be impossible for two horses to pull about fifty Seniors up the hill, so we had to get off and walk. The roads were real slick too, and Jerome Conant fell down a number of times. I don’t want to sav just how many because it might hurt Jerome’s feelings. We stopped at White street so il wouldn’t be far for a prominent couple of our class to walk and the last stop was on the square at about eleven-thirty o’clock. This was the first time the class of 1922 had ever had a bob-sled party, so we all enjoyed it very much. APRON AND OVERALL PARTY The boys of the Senior Class were entertained by the girls at the home of Ruth Rudasill, April 7, 1922. The girls all wore aprons and the boys overalls. Being so dressed everyone was in for anything to have a good time. There was one exception to our party; one boy who lives just out of the city limits evidently didn’t care to be seen in overalls, so he came dressed up. A number of contests and games were planned for the entertainment of our guests. The one which proved to be most interesting was the sewing contest. Every boy had to make an apron for every girl. A prize was given for the best apron, so naturally there was a lot of competition among the boys. Maurice Langellier got first prize and John Stout second. These two aprons were made almost as good as if the girls had done the work. A large number played Rook during the evening. We were sorry that more faculty members could not have attended, as everyone had a very good time. Sixty members of the class were present. A two-course luncheon was served. FOOTBALL BANQUET The banquet was given in the High School cafeteria by the Athletic Association and prepared by Miss Gibson, with the assistance of the girls of the Domestic Science Department. Both first and second team men were present Carl Isonhart was elected captain for next season. Following a sumptuous four-course dinner, speeches were made by members of the teams, and the coach made remarks on the past season. The boys were very appreciative to the Athletic Association and to Miss Gibson. This finished a fitting close for the season. The boys were very hilarious and following Ihe banquet it was decided that Mr. Perkins, the newly wed, should furnish the amusement for the remainder of the evening. Accordingly ilr. Perkins was forcibly kidnapped from his home by the coach and several of bis husky athletes and was taken to the confectionery, where he was required to treat everyone. 98 The Cl mining________________________ 1322. SENIOR PICNIC On September 17, 1921, at six o’clock about sixty people, including faculty members and Seniors, enjoyed a picnic in the form of a weiner roast “over on the hill” at Weldon Springs. As usual, there were plenty of cars in our class to take everyone out. 'The cats were all ready by the time the football boys arrived and such eats! Weiners, buns, mustard, pickles, cakes, watermelon and “all-dav-suckcrs.” If you really want to see something funny, have Leta Marsh to show you how to put a slice of watermelon around her neck and eat it. After everyone had eaten all they possibly could, we played games, whippety-craek. jump the rope, and we also had a watermelon chase. The Masons were having a picnic at the Springs too, which also afforded considerable amusement. About seven-thirty o’clock we started for home—that is, we were supposed to. It is understood that several of our new teachers attended the band concert in Maroa that evening. Everyone had a grand and glorious time. Let’s have another one some day and be sure and watch the watermelons. SENIOR PARTY Audrey Boone proved to be a very capable hostess at a Christmas party held at her home on December 15. The house was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations, large bunches of poinsettas being in every room. In the living room was a Christmas tree decorated with every kind of Christmas tree decorations one could imagine. Around the bottom of the tree was snow where the guests placed their presents. Various games and contests were indulged in and enjoyed by all. There was also music during the evening. For some reason, not known by us, Santa was unable to be present for the party, so two girls of our class distributed the presents. This made some of us forget we were Seniors and an outsider would have guessed the crowd to be between the ages of seven and ten. The names of all the boys were put into English walnuts. Each girl took a “nut” and Ihc person whose name she found in it was her partner for the evening. This proved to be quite a novel way of choosing partners. At a late hour refreshments were served. Candy canes were given as favors. Everyone went home happy, yet sorry to think it was the last Christmas party for the class of 1922. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The Christmas program this year was in charge of the Dramatic Club. A one-act French play, “A Christmas Tale,” was given. The play was very interesting and typical of the Christmas spirit. It was very well given and was enthusiastically received by the student body. The cast was as follows: Pierre, Wayne Sprague; wife of Pierre, Kate Ives; St. Nicholas, John Warner; St. Bose, Grace McClelland. The Girls’ Glee Club furnished music as a part of the program. 99 The O!min mo. JnTf 71 132ZL “CLARENCE” “Clarence” was given by the members of the Senior Class for the annual Senior play. “Clarence” is a comedy in four acts by N. Booth Tarkington. The play was made a success through the efficient coaching of the faculty members in charge—Mrs. Scott, Misses Smith and Gregory. The play was given at the Clintonia Theatre Friday evening, April 28, 1922. It was a success in every sense of the word. It was enthusiastically received by an appreciative audience of High School students and patrons. Besides being quite a dramatic hit it was also a financial success and a neat sum was realized by the business manager of the play. The parts in the play were very well interpreted by the students chosen to fill the parts and marked ability was shown. The most difficult parts were handled with apparent ease by the amateur actors. Two performances of “Clarence” were given. Two separate casts were used in the two performances. The casts were of equal merit and the afternoon and night performances were identical. The High School orchestra furnished the music for the evening under the direction of Miss Sylvia Cheek. They were encored time after time. The cast was as follows: ilrs. Martin............................Mildred Dillingham, Gwendolyn Brown Mr. Wheeler......................................................Phil Quealy Mrs. Wheeler......................................Lena English, Lorcne Burke Bobby Wheeler..............................................Maurice Langellier Cora Wheeler..................................Grace McClelland, Mildred Overy Violet Pinney............................Faye Westerholt, Edna Earle Weld Clarence......................................Wayne Abrell, Guernsey McGonkey Della......................................................C. Claire Whalen Dinwiddie....................................Milton Berkson, Edward Gholson Hubert Stem....................................................Dale Querfield Both Mildred Dillingham and Gwendolyn Brown, who were chosen to act the role of Mrs. Martin, interpreted the part in a very pleasing and effective manner and the way in which they handled this part was a great asset to the first act of the play. Philip Quealy starred with the part of Mr. Wheeler. Philip made a very good business man and his acting was of a good quality. Lena English and Lorene Burke, as Mrs. Wheeler, enacted the difficult lines with marked ability and played very well with Philip Quealy, playing the part of Mi'. Wheeler. Notes on the Play too The Chntonia_ Mlm TTT _1922 Maurice Langellier starred in the part of Bobby. This was one of the important persons of the east and Maurice did very well in interpreting the actions of the young Mr. Wheeler. Mildred Overy and Grace McClelland, playing the part of Cora Wheeler, Bobby’s sister, were decided hits and their acting contributed largely to the success of the play. Faye Westerholt and Edna Earle Weld in the role of Violet Pinnev, Cora ’s governess, acted the part, exhibiting marked ability. The lines were varied and required considerable skill in interpreting. Wayne Abrell and Guernsey McConkey, acting the part of Clarence, the leading man of the play, were the leading lights of the performance. The part of Clarence, besides requiring considerable ability as an actor, required the knowledge of the playing of both the saxophone and piano. The manner in which they acted their parts was the outstanding feature of “Clarence.” C. Claire Whalen, the able comedienne, in the part of Della, the Irish maid, was one of the shining lights of the play. Dinwiddie was acted by Edward Gholson and Milton Berkson. Both actors made typical butlers and carried the lines well. Dale Querfield, playing the part of Hubert Stem, (Cora’s grass widower,) acted his part in a very pleasing manner. 101 The Clinton to____________________________ 1922 CALENDAR Sept. 6 School days, school days Dear old golden rule days Reading and ’riting and ’rithmetic Taught by the rule of the hickory stick.” Sept. 7 First real day of school.

Lend me a dollar for a week, old man.” Milton: “Who is this weak old man?” LINE O’ TIPS OR TWO Always cut up in class and endear yourself to the teacher forever. Always pretend to be interested in your work and your teacher. Always keep your book open in class. It helps. Always laugh at the teacher’s jokes. It is good policy. Always argue every chance you get. It kills time and increases your vocabulary. Never worry yourself. Worry the teacher instead. Never let a chance go of letting everyone know that you know all about it. Always look wise. The teacher cannot tell the difference. Always look sleepy. The teacher may have a heart and not call on you. Always talk loudly. The teachers may get tired of it and not call on you. Change girls about once a month. One soon gets tiresome. Always smile. It attracts the teachers as well as the girls. Always take the front seat. The teachers will nearly always overlook you. Look distinguished and have a witty remark handy. You may get by with it. Get all the fellows you can. The more the merrier. Don’t use hair dyes. Look natural. Become a hero and have a bunch of worshippers. Don’t depend on high school fellows. Have at least one regular college fellow. Do your hair up different. Anything to attract attention. Don’t talk loud. The teachers get tired of having things repeated and will quit calling on you. Helen Robins: “I feci in my bones that I am going to be an old maid.” Francis Cuqua: “I’ll bet you don’t feel it in your wish bone.” Mildred Dillingham: “Oh! what is so rare as a day in June?” Vinita Bedinger: (cutting up) “A Chinaman with whiskers.” 135 The Cl min mo 132Z.
