Robbins Treasurer, Anabel Thomas The Senior Officers The Senior Class has been very fortunate in its choice of officers. They have proved very capable and have filled their places in a manner satisfactory to the class and school. The ruling of Warren has always been fair and consequently all class affairs have moved harmoniously. He has shown ability as presiding officer and as manager of the Senior Play. Arthur has proved a very capable assistant who has willingly done his part to help things run smoothly. He has been prominent in class basketball and track; so again we know that we have chosen wisely. Anabel, the Keeper of the Golden Fleece, on account of her dignity and gracious manner has always held our admiration and affection. She also is prominent in social affairs and high in scholastic standing. Helen’s charming personality has given her prestige in social activities. She has always been prominent in scholarship and performed her part in the Class Play with unusual grace. We feel sure that the Class of 1923 will be remembered for its wise choice of officers. All great people are dying and we don’t feel well ourselves. —The Seniors. Page 15 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Nellie Rose Anderson (“Nell”) A pretty little dainty charming she.

The ship was cheered as she cleared the assembly room harbor. A steady course was held for a month, then the compass pointed towards Weldon Springs. That night the crew and the passengers were treated at mess to weiner roast rations. More regular stops at popular ports were made where English and Math were embarked. The cargo became heavy and a few of the crew drowned. There never was, nor ever will be an S. O. S. signal flashed out. During the autumn of '21 Jacks Hubbell, Griffin, Kirk. McIntyre, and Glenn sailed on the '24 ship and weathered the tough hard games which brought home the bacon. No trick dog nor trained monkey did the '24 ship carry for its mascot, but they had the funniest in the navy, gobs Hoffman and Berkson. The ’24 crew, having such a grand and glorious cruise, got Caesar safely across the Rubicon. The reward was an excursion to South Salt Creek. 'Fhe ship’s observatory, which was in charge of the gossiping girls, had a prominent place. The intellectual stars were Ruby Cooley. Helen Robbins, Rovenia Miller, and Reginald Merriell. The jumpety sky rockets were Mag Hamilton and Jeanette Tick. The sentimental moon-gazers, Ruth Van Antwerp and Bob Willmore, could be seen on deck only in spring, when all young men’s fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. The ship of ’24 met with high seas near the close of her cruise. Several of her passengers were stranded on the rocks, “monthly quizzes”. September 1922 the ship set sail with eighty passengers, with Walter McIntyre as captain, assisted by plow-jockey Merle Griffin, mates Sharkey. Seal, Glenn, McIntyre, and Griffin helped the Pilot, Miss Ross. Agnes Wright guarded the gold from the pirates. lone Hayes kept the maps and log-book of the ship ’24. Extracts from log-book. K. P.’s are always popular with the sailors. No furloughs are asked for during an excursion. The sailor’s sport consisted of a weiner roast, an indoor track meet, a mock wedding, and a pep meeting. All greenness has disappeared and the crew had become ancient sea dogs. Signs of age were Harold Lloyd glasses and bobbed hair. During the summer of ’23 the ship of ’24 will be safely anchored at the harbor, where she will be cleared of barnacles—“conditions —and put in ship-shape order for smooth, speedy sailing in ’24.

The scene for the most part is laid in the C. C. H. S. The play is divided into two distinct parts, the characters being Freshmen in the first and Sophomores in the latter. During the first part of the comedy there are almost one hundred and fifty characters. They enter trembling, awed, and green. Numerous tragic mistakes and blunders common to that species occur. Finally, however, they become more confident and by the time they are Sophomores they think they own the whole school. In search of amusement and, incidentally, of eats, the class journeys to Weld's pasture to enjoy a weiner roast. Bert and Heinie, as usual, appoint themselves as a Special Committee on Entertainment. Five of the worshippers of Hercules who aspired to gain athletic honors were awarded second team letters in football and one in basketball. One of the happiest scenes is their departure from the House of Knowledge for a summer’s recreation. The second part of the play begins with the joyous returning of the characters as Sophomores. They are no longer the timid creatures who tremble with fear upon entering the doors of the school, but brave and husky Sophomores. The most noticeable feature of their change of attitude is their healthy scorn and disdain of the green and ignorant Freshmen who crowd their very paths. Nobly they do their portions of the work assigned them. During this part of the comedy a “Backwards Party” is given—not because of any particular adaptibilitv in that field but through the desire to have something novel and wholly different from their natural inclination.

Conversation between a Freshman and Upper-Classman. LT. C. M.—Hello there. Freshie! How's High School? Fresh—H’lo! Oh it’s all right after you once get started. But with a bunch of funny-faced smart-alecks like you around, it's kinda hard to get started. U. C. M.—Oh! That’s too bad! Say, how about it? I hear yon have a big class? Fresh.—Oh, yes! We have the biggest class that ever entered C. C. H. S. In September we had one hundred twenty-nine and in February the midtermers increased our number to one hundred sixty-seven. U. C. M.—Well, I guess you have some class! But tell me about some of the things that you have done this year, and how you were treated. Fresh.—Oh! We were treated quite well. The mid-termers received the hardest blow when they had to stand up by themselves at an Assembly, and make an attempt at yelling. But, concerning our social events, we had a weiner roast the first of the year. Never will forget that. One of the teachers almost fell in the creek, trying to do some girlish stunts. I guess that weiner roast was the biggest time we had. But that was sure good. We have had a lot of things—too many to mention. Case 33 THE CLINTONIA — 1923 U. C. M.—Well, you had a good weiner roast. But who got it up? Who are your representatives? Fresh.—Oh! I almost forgot them! Let’s see. They were Dan Over-leese, Mabel Woodward, Max Hull, Jane Chapin, and Audrienne Melvin. U. C. M.—Well! Well! That’s a pretty good bunch, but say, getting down to important things, how did you come out in athletics? Fresh.—Oh! Not very well this year. But watch our smoke in a couple 'a years! We sure have the material and as soon as it’s “broke in”, it'll he good. Step around and learn something then. U. C. M.—Oh yes! I suppose after you birds get ripened up you’ll show ’em something. But it will take a long time to ripen a bunch of green timber like you. I don't think much of you. Fresh.—Oh, 1 don’t know. You dota't look like you are ripe vet. And as for thinking much of us, you seem to think enough of the Freshman girls to be escorting them all around. Not mentioning any names, but you know whom I mean. U. C. M.—Oh! Well!

It is not only a day on which we can rejoice but one on which we must give some serious thought to the Past in preparation for the Future. Longfellow says. “Our todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build . 1 hat quotation might well be applied to our four years of High School life. As we look back through the misty past, it seems that the first two years were chiefly devoted to preparation for the last two. The chief aim in our Freshman and Sophomore years was to study; athletics and the social side of High School had not become prominent. During our Junior year we were more closely united by a class organization. In this year. too. we were preparing ourselves for the crowning achievement of our High School days—our Senior year. As Seniors we have had to shoulder many responsibilities and have sometimes felt like Atlas. By imbibing the highest ideals of the past and present educators we have endeavored to set a high standard of living for the other classes. The Yearbook and the Senior Play have been undertaken by us and we have assumed leadership in the many activities of the entire school. I hroughout our four years our accomplishments could not have been so great but for the willing help of the Faculty who have been ever ready to lend their helping hands to the solution of our various and sometimes difficult problems. Yesterday we were striving to climb the ladder of labor and learning. Today we are leaving this school forever. But we do not feel that we have reached the top of the ladder. Many of us, it is true, will go out and enter the school of experience, but another phase of our education awaits us there. Some will go to the Universities and colleges where we shall continue what we began here. As someone has said, “This is not the end, but just the beginning of the end . Then here’s to our school-days, their gold and their gray; The stars of their winter, the dews of their May; And when the gay days of our youth quickly pass, Let us never forget twenty-three; our own class. Katherine Bogardus. a«e 36 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 9 2 3 President’s Address Classmates, Teachers and Friends: In one day, it seems, we will have reached that goal toward which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short years. This is our year, our day. This is the last time we shall sit in this assembly room as a class. We are now entering upon the greater fields of life which are stretched out before us. We must cast away our High School pleasures and privileges and take up our new burdens. Our armor is strong. We shall meet our tasks face to face, with our High School life as a memory, and in the future, in success or failure, may this memory be a source of inspiration to us. But when we look into that future we realize that our High School course is merely a large stepping stone to greater success. Any success we may attain in life we shall associate with the names of our Faculty, to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude. And to the Board of Education—men who have used untiring efforts in our behalf—we desire to extend our sincere thanks. The success of a school year depends largely upon the Seniors but the year would be a failure without the underclassmen, and to them we extend our hearty appreciation of their cooperation with us in the success of our last year in High School. To our parents we extend our thanks for the privilege of attending school for the past twelve years. Seniors! The time has come when we, as a class, must part. As we pause today upon the dividing line between two eras in our lives and look back over the varied experiences of our High School life, with its pleasures and duties, its ambitions, and friendships, we cannot avoid a feeling of sadness that comes with the thought of parting. We stand today upon the threshold of the future. Our graduation will usher us into the midst of that active life for which we have been preparing. Our advantages have been above the average and the State, the Church, and Society will look to us for deeds parallel with our advantages, so let us not fail them and keep always in mind our motto, “To strive, to seek, to find, but not to yield . I consider it the greatest honor of my life to have been vour president and I have tried to do my best to fulfill the duties given me, and I want to thank you for your cooperation in all the activities of the year. In closing 1 wish to quote what someone has said : And with loving thoughts wc crown thee. Fare thee well, dear Alma Mater, Parting hour is drawing nigh, As we say our last good-bye. We know we shall have trials And mountains in our way, While hard we’ll often struggle Thruout the twilight gray. But never shall we cease Xor shall we e’er he free, “Till the scars of battle blend With the stars of Victory.” Warren Stone. I’a e 37 THE CLINTONIA — 1923 Class Poem Our Motto “To Strive, to Seek, to Find, and Not to Yield” To strive always onward, Defeating all wrong; To strive toward our goals, Though the strife may be long. To seek truth and light, From day to day; To seek forever these Through life’s long way. To find, in daily work, Some meed for happiness, Some recompense of joy; That will us and others bless. And not to yield to hardships, That may beset our way; Not to bow our heads before them, Nor let them us dismay. May God give us courage, Courage to dare and do; Courage to live our motto, To keep the goal in view. Paul Robb. Pa e 38 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Class History High School Soldiers of ’23 In 1917 Germany became the enemy of the U. S. Germany was an outside enemy that we could fight with swords and guns. But the U. S. has many deadly inside enemies that can not be fought so easily. One of these is ignorance. Ignorance is especially dangerous in a democracy like our own where the people are their own rulers. Realizing this the people of U. S. do not want a single ignorant person within its borders. Consequently they have more schools than any other country in the world. Yet in spite of this fact there are more than 4,000,000 people in the U. S. who can neither read nor write. You see it is necessary for the forces of education to wage a continual organized warfare against Ignorance and Inefficiency. Four years ago the ranks of the present senior class enlisted in this great army as volunteers wishing to do their part against the forces of Ignorance. The day of registration was September 6, and the number of recruits assigned to the freshman class was one hundred forty-five. This company with three others took up their headquarters in the C. C. H. S. building. Here we learned that war is a serious business. Of course we had experience, eight years of preliminary training in the grades and many times when grappling with the enemy we recalled the military principles which had been taught us by those first splendid generals—our grade teachers. During our first year in High School we did much strenuous fighting and experienced a number of victories and some defeats. But we went through the year bravely and successfully considering the obstacles all “Freshies” have to meet. In May of this year the entire Division of our Company was granted a three months furlough. The days of our furlough passed quickly and in September those who had fought side by side the preceding year again reported for service at army headquarters. The company was now reorganized under the name of Sophomores. In our Freshman Company we had sometimes been out of step and quite often confused in our camp drills. But now we began to show such extraordinary diligence, such a thorough knowledge of military tactics, such a finish and grace in all our maneuvers, that our officers seemed to gaze upon us with wide-open, amazed eyes. It was at this time too, that we began to appreciate our own worth. Among our members there were a number of talented students, artists, poets, musicians, and athletes. Throughout this year of the campaign our company distinguished itself many times. To tell the truth we excelled all other classes of the school in many ways. In May 1921 the members of the company dispersed for another long leave of absence, feeling that the experiences just ended had made them better soldiers, and that they had gained invaluable knowledge of the methods to be used in conducting warfare against the host of Non-Intelligence. Paf?e 39 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 In September, 1921, old comrades assembled for the third time to take up arms for the cause in whose defense they were enlisted. Some of those who had belonged to the original Freshman Company were missing from our ranks when the roll was called in the Junior Company. Some had been wounded or disabled by the foe, while three had been advanced to the ranks of the Senior Company. On the other hand our members were reinforc'd from time to time by new troops who have loyally joined the endeavor to maintain our high standards during the year's conflict. With Wilbur Madden as Captain we were always found ready to do what was required of us; whether it was to participate in a Big Drive against the enemy, or to defend our own trenches from attack. Perhaps to l e exact I should say that we did express some disapproval on one occasion when our Captain substituted army trucks for sleds. But army discipline ruled and brought financial disaster to the Captain as well as his men. The Basketball forces of ’22 owed much of their glory to the brave and daring exploits of their star forwards, Barrett and Smallwood. After enjoying the usual three months furlough which was granted us in May 1922 and which expired in September 1922, we mobilized for the last year of our enlistment. Our morale, always high has not depreciated any during this last year. The year has passed in much the same manner as the preceding ones, but perhaps because there is always a sentimental value attached to last things it has seemed the best of all. The class has manifested a splendid spirit of cooperation toward all the activities of the school throughout the entire year; they have seemed to realize that as Kipling said: “It ain't the guns or armament, Or the bands that we can play, But whole souled cooperation That helps us win the day.” Warren Stone has served valiantly as Captain and has enjoyed the support of all his men. In this year's history we must mention the fact that the County Basketball Tournament was won by the Senior team. In looking back over the past four years, we realize that we have made many mistakes. As a class, since we have grown older and wiser, we have lost much of the conceit which featured our Sophomore days, yet we still believe that we have been an earnest, loyal, hard working company of soldiers who have gone through the daily routine of camp drill with “pep and enthusiasm . On June 1, 1923, we expect to receive our honorable discharge papers, when our daily comradeship will be over forever. We shall take with us though the memories of many hard struggles, of many splendid victories, of many good times behind the Firing Line when all was quiet at the Front. We shall not forget either, to continue our battle against Ignorance, for we realize that our few years of study are not sufficient to meet the needs of life. Since the able men of our nation are reading, studying, learning every day, surely no humble person such as a graduate from the C. C. H. S. should stop. Pa ?e 40 Lois Rudasill. THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Class Prophecy Dear I rene: I’m mailing out the invitations to our class reunion, so I thought I’d write you a short note. The last ten years certainly have gone fast. It doesn’t seem anv time since we were Seniors in High School, does it? Did you know that Frances Cuqua has been our mayor for the last four years? Well, she has, and she is going to give a speech at the reunion, so I know you want to come for that if nothing else. Anyway, I’m sure it won't interrupt your work to leave the hospital since you’ve been made superintendent, so I’m going to count on your being here. Helen. Here’s the list of the members of the class—and Nellie Anderson is first. No one would have ever thought that such a quiet unassuming girl would become a world-famed actress. She now has the lead in “Linger Longer Nellie”, which is just closing it’s sixth year on Broadway. She surely must have gotten her start in our Senior Play “Come Out of the Kitchen”, as Wayne Sprague did—Wayne was so successful as a boot-black that he decided to take it up for a life profession and is living in Chicago where he is known for his ability and quickness in shining shoes. And here’s Fern Andrews—she is in Turkey and owns a beauty parlor. Her specialty is shingling the native’s hair—. Earl Arthington has all the popularity that he wants now: he has taken Rudolph Valentino’s place among the movie stars. And Harry Ashley—Harry lives down in the mountains of Tennessee They say he insures cars for railroad accidents, but there are so few cars down in those hills that his business can’t be rushing. Eloise Bennett can certainly come to our reunion—she and Oren Chandler have been married for several years and Oren has at last succeeded Markham as president of the Illinois Central. I remember what lengthy discussion Oren used to give us in our Industrial History Class of how many miles of track “we” have. He was then a call boy. I always knew George Benson would distinguish himself. He is a tight rope walker with the Sells-Floto Circus and one of their leading attractions. And Clara Blue—of all people—she has the agency for selling Hip-Boots that the women have been wearing lately instead of knickers. Katherine Bogardus and Kate Ives always were such good friends— and they are still together writing editorials for Captain Billy’s “Whiz Bang . We have only one grand opera star in our class and that’s Juanita Brewer. I’ll just address her invitation to Chicago as her headquarters are there but she sings in any city in the United States under 5,000 population. Ida Brittin is still driving a car. She delivers for a grocery store. Cleo Brown is another that lives in Chicago. She is working for the Chicago Tribune and gives advice to the love-lorn. They say she has made thousands of girls happy by her conscientious advice. Pajfc 41 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 And Alice Carter has spent several days writing a book on etiquette so she may do just as she pleases when she attends a social function. Calvin Christian is still interested in doing odd jobs around shows— especially around the ticket office. I just knew one of our class would champion women's rights— Rebecca Cowles lives in Washington, and is one of the foremost speakers in America on woman's suffrage. Adda Davis lives in Greenwich Village and is an artist's model. She must be an exceedingly good one by now—as she used to pose continually in our English class when we were Seniors. V hy I believe Maude Flood is head of a school for girls in Pennsylvania. Lola Hidden and Louise Luker are also teaching. They are both instructors in the Clinton Community High School. Lola has charge of the debating department. I always thought she would do something like that as she just delighted in arguing with Mr. Peers who taught her American history when she was a Senior. And Louise Luker has taken Miss Ross’s place as head of the language department, but she is still taken for one of the Freshmen girls. Irwin Fosnaugh is interested in our school here. He is on the school board and volunteered on his own accord to be night watchman around the school buildings and the Y. M. C. A. Let s see—I think Louise Hilts lives in Heyworth and is owner of the one and only General Merchandise Store in the town. And Farl Lowe has a resort for Freshmen dolls in the South. Why—Wilbur Madden must l)e happy. He has at last returned to his beloved Jacksonville, but if what I hear is so he may not be able to leave to come to our reunion. And Helen Metz is traveling around this part of the State giving lectures. She was in Weldon the other night and gave a lecture on “How to keep the boys on the farm . Arthur Miller has at last gone to the city—lie's in New York now and sells appliances for changing the shape of the nose and mouth. Then here's Eleanor Jones—Oh, yes, she and Ruth Miller, Berneice Rainey, Dorothy Strange, and Nellie Torbert have organized a club for girls and are studying how to have a good time without talking. Jessie Miller—let's see, I believe Jessie is in the Fast teaching in a girls’ school. Under her guidance the girls are rapidly learning the art of chewing gum, giggling, and walking on the bias. Floyd Miller and Dean Samuel are two more of our class that afford amusement for others. They are now clowns in a circus. One of Mack Sennett's best known bathing beauties is Monica Pvne. Helen L. Robbins was with her for awhile, but she soon forsook the silver screen for a matrimonial career. Paul Robb is still undecided as to what he ought to do. His folks want him to be a preacher and he has a wonderful voice for solo work—but his heart really leans toward poetry and the girls. Page 42 THE CLINTONIA — 1 923 Lois Rudasill is the leading society matron in the small town in which she lives. Here’s Ruth Saveley—Ruth was so disappointed. She didn't get to leave for Detroit as soon as she expected as she undertook to look after the restaurant for Jake while he was in Chicago a few weeks and then he decided to stay a few years. Clyle Shaw now demonstrates rouge in one of Chicago’s leading department stores. The most prominent divorce lawyer in this part of the country is Paul Smallwood. He has so many cases that he works day and night—and Arm be 1 Thomas is his capable assistant. Cleo Stivers has a greenhouse all of her own—and she cultivates only those flowers that have a magnificent odor. Warren Stone always did call himself President Harding—and at last he has reached his life’s ambition and is president of a toothpick concern. Another one of our class who took up matrimony as a career was Lauretta Thorpe. She lives on a ranch in the West and she and her husband spend all of their spare time riding bronchoes. Lloyd Wilson is making comic records and Emerson Williams is making records of sermons for the Victor Company. I believe I read some place where their records sold at six for a dollar. And then here’s Ruth Whitehead—she is manager of the Whitehead-Foster farm out west of Clinton. Thank goodness 1 have all of the invitations addressed so I guess I’d better call up the Clinton Morning Journal as I want them to give us a big write-up on the front page. Helen McAboy. Class Will We, the Senior Class, of the Clinton Community High School, of the County of DeWitt, of the State of Illinois, being of unusually sound minds and excellent disposing ability, do hereby make our last will and testament. Part One First: We do give and bequeath the trials and tribulations that accompany the title “Senior , and the broadening of the mind and expansion of the moral character that is sure to come when you study the same texts and sit in the same seats, as did the class of ’23, to the present Junior class of the Clinton Community High School. Second: We do will our athletic prowess and scholastic ability to whatever underclassmen may qualify that the high school may more nobly survive the loss of our class. Patfe 43 THE CLINTONIA — 1 923 Third: We give Walter McIntyre the title “President” of the prospective Senior class. The “Stoney indifference which Warren has maintained when be-seiged by all the fair belles of the class is to he strictly upheld. Fourth: We leave our countrified ways and general unsophisticated airs, as tvpi-fied by Harry Ashley and Oren Chandler, to Millard Thompson and Harold Davis, with the sincere hope that they may tend to counteract the leaning towards all that is modish and extreme, which these boys have shown throughout their school careers. Fifth: We bestow upon Raymond Fink, Nellie Anderson’s cure for “Lovers’ heartache”, with due emphasis on the number of hugs and kisses. Part Two I, Emerson Williams, leave my graceful gait, book of poses, and entire supply of hair oil to Robert Toombs. I. Helen Me Ahoy, do give my secrets for the successful vamping of Mr. Peers, acquired only after much diligent study and application, to Iona Hayes. I, Lauretta Thorpe, bequeath my devotion and undying love for Clint Luker, to Imogene Hilts, to he, without delay, bestowed upon Bake McClurg. 1, Earl Arthington, give my propensity for parting my hair in the middle to Marshall Kirk. There is a city ruling which states that every block must have an alley. I, Helen Metz, devise my hash fulness and becoming innocence to Geneva Cost ley. I, Wayne Sprague, do leave my enormous popularity with the girls to Lloyd Costley upon condition that he obtain a new Ford touring car, which is of course, absolutely essential. I, Monica Pvne, give my solemn, taciturn, disposition and ability to chew gum and recite English simultaneously, to Feme Lampe. I, George Benson, will my secret of how to grow tall and witty at the same time to Oscar Long upon condition that when he reaches the height of seven feet two inches and witty enuf to laugh uproariously at his own remarks he will pass it on to Hubert Hoyt. 1. Juanita Brewer, l estow my wonderful baritone voice and right to bring my “gentleman friend” to school with me to Martha Kunkel, trusting that Martha will make the most of this bequest. I, Wilbur Frederick Madden, leave my stately carriage, noble mein, and heard which necessitates two daily shaves to Bill Hamilton. But Bill you must not do your shaving during school hours or the menace of non-excuseable excuses will hang as heavily o'er your head as it has o'er mine. I, Irene Rudasil, leave my interest in the Clinton Motor Company to any girl who can capture the heart of Merle Griffin. Pajfc 44 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 I, Paul Robb, will my varied abilities as artist, philosopher, poet, musician and athlete to Robert Willmore. I also make a special bequest of my winning ways with women to the daring and gallant Cleo Willis. We, Cleo Brown, Frances Cuqua and Ruth Saveley, do will that our work of writing notes during typing periods be taken up by Ruth Humphrey, Kathryn Mahon and Ellen McKinney. Our list of prospects will be furnished upon request. It is the will of this class that the reckless, dare-devil spirit and utter disregard for all authority, so often shown by Nellie Torbert, Berneice Rainey, and Rebecca Cowles, be banished and never again allowed to enter the portals of this high school. It is our will that if at any time you under-classmen are puzzled by any rule of decorum or prudence, or any of the provisions of this document, that you will with due reverence consult those who, although they entered with this class, have heroically consented to remain indefinitely that this place of learning might not be entirely bereft of truly great minds. We do hereby constitute and appoint Albert Wilson the sole executor of this our last will and testament and we do hereby empower our said executor to see that every bequest, contained herein, be executed to the letter. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seal, this thirty-first day of May, A. D., nineteen hundred and twenty-three. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior Class, as and for its last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, at its request, in its presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said instrument. We, the class of ’23, are about to leave this high school as graduates and are to have our places taken by a class now called Juniors. We have always been as a big brother to them, always helping them over the hardships of their career and feel it our duty to give some very much needed advice in order that they may not be absolute failures. Juniors, as I look out upon your childish faces this afternoon, I wonder if you fully comprehend the meaning of the word “Senior”. Next September you are to enter this high school and are expected to conduct yourselves as Seniors. Your mistakes are many and I will point out some of them, that they may to some extent be corrected before it is too late. Part Three The Senior Class (Seal). By Irwin Fosnaugh. Jim Reddick, Jim Hubbell. Senior Charge Paffe 45 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 Your first bad mistake was in your choice of president; Walter is a sweet child but never will lie fitted as a leader. His high ambition is to become a helper in one of the leading meat markets of the city. Mack also tries to be somewhat of a comedian but as yet has not been able to convince Miss Lyle of his abilities. Merle Griffin, you should decide what vocation you are going to take up after leaving High School. We know you are having a hard time deciding whether to become a teacher of etiquette or to finish your study of higher mathematics such as solid geometry. My advice is complete the course you decide upon as I know you can never learn both. Oh yes, there's Marshall Kirk, a lad to be proud of. Kirk cannot as yet suppress excitement to the extent of keeping his mouth closed; Marshall is also quite a ladies man, has a date almost every two or three months. Another comedian of the class is Robert Trummell, a nice little country boy, who in his clever way tries to keep the class giggling. This of course, is not very hard to do in a class of Juniors. Robert, how many times has Miss Lyle told you that you are not at all funny? No, Paul, I am not going to forget you for you of all people are certainlv in need of advice. Ford, you take life too seriously and unless you find time for recreation from your work and studies, you will certainlv ruin vour health in your infancy. Fenner, I feel it my sacred duty to tell you that you are not intended for a pugilist and beg of you to give up fighting before you run out of teeth. Well, if there isn't another sheik or “shriek of the class, Fstel Polen. Juniors, you certainly like those decorated l ell bottom trousers, but 1 guess you can't be criticized much as your noble president set the bad example. Lstel and Mac had quite a contest to see who could get the greatest amount of decoration on those trousers. Fstel, were you with that Sophomore girl just after she had her hair curled? Juniors, I regret that we must turn the athletic program of this high school to you, for I fear that in your weakness the good games of football and basketball will be of the past. Look over your men. Have you any one to compare with our Smallwood? You will probably name Kirk. Our Smallwood can play more football in two plays and make more baskets in one game than Kirk can in four. Of course Kirk made some baskets but you know the ball was worked down under the basket by Seniors before it was given to Kirk. Another thing Smallwood does that cannot be expected of a class like that of yours, he uses his head. Of course you boast of one more letterman in football than the Seniors, but this is overbalanced by basketball when the Seniors doubled the number of lettermen with the Juniors, and who won the County Tournament? Seniors, of course. I think this evidence is enough that you could profit by our good example. Now I approach a very delicate problem, but I feel that I just must offer some advice to those dear sweet children, the girls of the class of '24. Girls, it is time to put away your dolls and waken to the problems of Seniors. Page A6 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 There is noisy Charline Anderson, a very small person with a wonderful giggle. Charline, you could perhaps be great if you could get the idea that little girls should lie seen and not heard. Juniors, did Thelma Barr get here on time today? If she did it is about the first time. Thelma, you mean well but you don't start soon enough. I hate to think that next year, you as a Senior will spend as much time in the office as you are accustomed to as a Junior. You are also such a quiet little girl. You break the speed limit talking only about sixty times per hour. Margaret Hamilton with her winning smile and pep talks will help you some next year but to be successful some more of the girls will have to take lessons from Mag, because you will certainly need a great many pep artists to keep your class going. Oh, those two bold cut-ups of the class, Gretchen Plate and Helen. Davis, whose great delight is sitting in front of haunted houses, telling ghost stories, you will certainly be obliged to overcome such conduct to be Seniors of good standing. “Miss McKinney, will you please stop talking?’’, are the customary words of Mr. Peers to one noble Junior. Ellen, you should pay more attention to your history and not talk so much. Seniors never interrupt classes by continuous conversation with other people. If you will think over the advice I have given you this afternoon, and remember the good examples put before you by the class of ’23, you will surely be successful. Do not think I have pointed out all your faults, for that would be impossible. By careful study of the ways of the noble class now leaving you and by trying to be more like them, you will progress much better than if you stay in the same mood and keep the same childish ways you now have. Let this be your motto, taking effect at once, “Day by day, in every wav we are trying to be like the Class of ’23.” Oren Chandler. Junior Response Oreti Leslie “Honk” Chandler, we Juniors wish to thank you and the remaining members of the Senior Class for that rare bit of poorly directed advice just offered us. We realize you Seniors have not the power to look into the future and see why we should not accept this advice; therefore I will point out happenings of your class in the past showing why you have no power to give advice concerning our future. First, look at the flower you have chosen, “The Red Rose . Yes, its pretty, but Seniors do you not realize that for years the beautiful golden dandelion has bloomed on this high school campus for a class such as you to choose? And that motto, “To strive, to seek, to find but not to yield , Gee! that's a good motto but what are you going to look for? The motto, “To charge, to borrow but never to return” would fit the larger part of your class and sound natural too. I guess “To seek” means you want to borrow something. Paffe 47 THE CLINTONIA —1 923 You Seniors made another mistake when you selected for your president the great clock mechanic and glass diamond broker, Warren Stone—Warren's motto is “Say it with diamonds and buy them at Lundhs”. That's a good motto, Warren, but you should help it out by boosting the trade instead ot spending so much time at 512 North Madison Street. Seniors, if you look back I think you will see that you could have chosen better even in your class. Now there's that bold, bad, heart-breaker Sy Robb. It was thought once that Sy would make a great man, but these women have taken so much of his time that the only hope left is to develop his vocal talent—it is now rumored that Sy has received offers from farmers all over the state offering as high as five dollars a week and board to come and call their stock at meal time. I ake my advice, Sv, and accept one of these offers because some dav you may be a train caller in some great city or even an umbrella mender and you'll need the experience. Oh! I mustn't forget Harry Ashley, Seniors he is another that is slowly but surely pulling down the standard of your class. Harry's greatest ambition is to become acquainted with all of the great athletes and then tell every one about it. Harry likes to drive cars, too, but it looks as thought any person with common sense would know better than to try to push a freight train off the track with a new sedan. You had better be good, Harry, because some day when that freight happens to l e a fast train you will need a recommendation to St. Peter and no one will sign it. You also have in your class the tall, thin, dark, beauty of the opposite sex who has startled the whole world with her grace and charms; of course, I refer to none, other than Ike'’ Rudasill. It seems though “Ike would know after four years experience that talking is forbidden in assembly and if you violate this law you will have your conduct grade knocked off about ten points. While I'm speaking of talkers I wish to congratulate the Seniors on having three of the loudest and fastest talkers in this high school. You hear all about marathon runners and dancers; why these three could establish a talking record which would never be broken. They say perpetual motion has not been created, I wish some scientist could hear these three; he would change his mind right away. I believe I forgot to mention their names, didn't I? ell, they are Francis Cuqua, Ruth Saveley and “Patsy Pyne. Francis and Ruth have voices so loud that they would make a fog horn ashamed of itself, while “Patsy although not so loud can talk more in five minutes than the average person in a day and never say anything either.

When the class of “24 graduates it will leave one of the largest vacancies left for years to be filled by incoming athletes. We admit the Seniors did show good form during the county tournament and we congratulate you for coming out victors but that is the only notable thing the class of “23 has done during their four years in this school. The Seniors thought they would get a good start in the social world by having a picnic the first week of school but the Juniors soon started their social activities and got started so well and kept going so fast that the Seniors soon gave up all hope of ever keeping up with us. Seniors, just to show you how far out-classed you were bv our class in every way, even Hal Lasater known as the best ladies’ man in high school is a member of the Junior class. Now Seniors not because of you or your help but in spite of you we shall come back next year determined to make ourselves and this school a greater success. Walter McIntyre. Valedictory Honored Board of Education. Teachers, Classmates and Friends:— A year ago when the members of the class of nineteen twenty-two stood upon this platform we little realized how fast the coming year would fly and how soon we would be standing in their places. During the year we have missed them sadly and we only hope the class of nineteen twenty-four will miss us as much when we are gone. High School life would be barren indeed without its friendships. “Send a boy to college,” said Emerson, “and his fellows educate him”. It is just as true of High School. We might say “Send a boy to High School and his classmates educate him”. Youth is the time when the most enduring and most transforming friendships are made. All the various organizations and activities lend their aid in this very thing—the Glee Club, the Athletic Associations, the Classical Club, the Dramatic Club. What good-natured fun we have had in Dramatic Club when the friendly critic tried to educate us. Do you remember how we laughed together when he said the mirror in one of the plays was hung far too high for the heroine to see her reflection? Again do you remember when he said lie wondered how an old-fashioned flat-iron could possibly keep hot during the whole of the play? Perhaps one of the most important things we learn from this friendly contact is to take criticism in good part, and competition as good sports should. True friends which we make in High School may last forever. I say may for we as individuals determine how lasting our friendships shall Ire. The basis of friendship is personality. We demand that our friends shall “ring true” but we must develop our own personalities so that we, ourselves may “ring true”. Ideal friendships are rare. Page 49 THE CLIN TONIA—1923 The story of Damon and Pythias is well-known to most of us. You no doubt remember that Pythias was a young (ireek who was condemned by the elder Dionysius to die. lie begged permission to go home for a short time to rearrange some domestic affairs. Damon, a very dear friend of his, pledged his life until he should return. Pythias was true to his friend and on his return was pardoned by the elder. e may have any number of companions but true friends, friends who will do as much for us as we would do for them are hard to find. W’e would do anything for a friend except a base thing. When we have stooped to that we have broken the friendship. The person who can help us the most is the one who has the most faith in us. If we would be true we must never look for a mean motive in any one of our friends but show him always our faith in him. “If thou hast friends, give them thy best endeavor, Thy warmest impulse, and thy purest thought, Keeping in mind and word and action ever The time is short.” The time has been short but the lovely thing about it is that friendship does not just come to us in High School but is a life-long adventure, briends will always come and go. How do we know who is just around the corner. Just as adventure and romance may lurk there so mav new and charming friendships be hidden and waiting for us. We choose our books, our pleasures and our occupations, but we do not choose our friends We only discover them. 1 hose persons who inspire us to do our best, who make us live at our best when we are in their presence who, again quoting Emerson “make us do what we can —those are our friends. I eachers and (. lassmates, may I parody a little poem ? N ou are my friends, for you have smiled with me. My help and hope, in fair and stormy weather; 1 like you for the joys you've smiled with me. I love you for the griefs we’ve wept together. But time has come for each to sail away In lonely bark, on distant seas unchartered, Let s not be sad on this our gala day! W e wave goodbye! With hope our journey’s started. Alice Carter. Pa e 5D THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 The Senior Picnic On Friday in September, the first week of school, the Seniors held the first picnic of the year. They invited the faculty for they especially wished to become acquainted with the new instructors. As soon as school was dismissed, they drove out to the Springs. It was such a warm day that nearly everyone went in swimming. By the squeals and shrieks from the girls those who did not go in felt perhaps they were lucky to escape the icy water. After the swimming it seemed hours until supper-time but that time did finally arrive and everyone was glad, indeed. Instead of a regular picnic supper everyone for once in his life had all the ice cream and cake he could eat. Some of the girls tried to frighten the yellow jackets away by letting out wild yells but the yellow-jackets batted not an eyelash and proceeded to help themselves to the girls’ dishes of ice cream. Meanwhile, each new instructor had been sceretly looked over from head to foot and through and through. I think everyone was well satisfied. Physical Training Weiner Roast The first social event for the gym classes was held Tuesday, September twenty-sixth. Soon after school was dismissed, the girls started for Cherry Lane. In all there were forty-eight girls and Miss Holsinger. After the girls arrived, the fire was built, and everyone started hunting up sticks to roast weiners on. The supper consisted of marshmallows, wein-ers, buns, pickles, and apples. As soon as every bite had been eaten, the girls sat around the fire singing songs and practicing yells. About seven-thirty the fun makers departed for their homes, tired but happy. Latin Department Weiner Roast The Caesar Class had charge of this weiner roast and they are mighty good chargers. On October sixth, we met near the Fair Grounds. With the help of the faculty we played some well-known games. Meanwhile, the gallant boys started the fire. We gathered around, roasting both weiners and ourselves. Some of the stylish boys couldn’t stand their heightened color and made a practical use of the marshmallow powder. Owen Marsh, Max Hull, and “Chuck” Wampler went home that Friday night with white hair, which had not been caused by weeks of study. Our famished football fellows invited themselves down; we all had a jolly time. We sojourned toward home, crossing only four barbed wire fenses, and Ten Mile on logs. The frightened girls and faculty crossing Ten Mile created almost as much excitement as Caesar crossing the Rubicon. Pa e 51 THE CLINTONI A —1 923 Rabbit Supper The football team could not resist the call of the wild which, of course, endangered the lives of a great number of rabbits. The boys murdered twenty of these poor little beasts one Monday afternoon in October. To dispose of them a supper was served to the hovs by Miss Gibson’s cooking class. The menu consisted of consomme, baked rabbit, creamed peas, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, pumpkin pie, and coffee. The boys certainly like rolls; we just couldn't keep them supplied. James Hubbel sat at the head of the table, probably to teach the boys how to become a champion eater, or perhaps how to become stout by eating very little. Twenty-two boys were present. Mr. Hoover and Mr. Bailor also attended. Although it was not the biggest event of the year, the boys felt that the hunt was well worth while. Senior Girls’ Pep Meeting The Home Coming game was to he played with Bement on Friday, October twenty-first. So that there would surely be a victory, the Senior Girls held a glorious Pep Meeting on Friday morning. Promptly at 11:15 the girls followed the hand leader, Ruth Saveley, who flourished a knife-sharpener, into the Assembly, around the back, and up the middle aisle to the platform. The band all this time had been playing on the kitchen cabinet instruments the old favorite, “The Booster March.” Some very peppy new songs were sung, and Ruth Saveley and Cleo Brown told some snappy jokes on the team. There were more numbers by the hand and everyone was especially entranced by the trombone and saxaphone duet rendered by Lois Rudasill and Cleo Stivers. “Five O'clock in the Afternoon” was sung, illustrated by card-hoard clocks which each girl held in front of her. Then Ruth waved her baton and the hand marched twice around the assembly and out of the room. G. A. A. Hallowe’en Party I shiver when I think of it—spooky! There were spooks and ghosts and cats and other horrible things. Everything was dark when we arrived and after we had given the password to the guard, we followed a cord to a room lit by one small Jack O' Lantern. In a short while we were led about the building in the dark and then one by one we sat down and slid into the gym. However, no one could have known that it was a gym, for it was beautifully camouflaged with Hallowe’en decorations. As soon as we had guessed who some of those present were, we unmasked. The lights were lit and we played games—Nell O’Brien could certainly catch peanuts! Lois Rudasill, as a little old-fashioned girl, won the prize for the prettiest costume. After an evening of hilarious fun we were served cold dogs, filled with orange ice, and taffy apples—all Hallowe'en food. Page 52 THE CLINTONIA— 1 923 Freshman Weiner Roast The first Freshman function of the year was held Wednesday, October twenty-fifth. Shortly after school was dismissed, we left for demon’s woods. The faculty was invited, but only a few were able to attend. Several of the boys left early to build a fire. Games such as “Three Deep,” “Last Couple Out,” and many others were played until everyone was hungry. On account of the style of skirts, several of the teachers found running hard. The menu consisted of weiners, buns, marshmallows, apples, pickles, mustard, and onions. One of the teachers remarked, “You wouldn't have to see a green cap, to tell a Freshman tonight.” (Sort of a slam for us.) After everything was eaten, we stood around the fire singing and playing our kazoos until dark. Junior Girls’ Pep Meeting From the Junior’s fair point of view, we had the pep meeting of the season. It started out dead as it was set in a Lincoln graveyard. The mourners were weepy, letting only a few school girl giggles escape. The ghosts danced next, and some of the Freshmen being frightened, called “Mamma,” but with all solemnity, the Lincoln players were lowered into their graves. The loyal alumni left their places of business and gave us a peppy story hour. The Junior Faculty Advisers improvised some new yells and songs, which Mag Hamilton led. Mag had the whole assembly yelling just as the team played the next day. The players had a chance to tell us how they were going to “even up” with Lincoln for past scores. Senior Party, November 3, 1922 The Seniors laid aside their dignity for one night and were entertained at the home of Dean Samuels with a “Kid Party.” Very soon the living room was filled with little girls and boys. As each Senior had been asked to bring his baby picture, these were numbered and passed around to be guessed. Warren Stone received the prize, a magnificent sack of lemon drops. Then they played school, and the prize for the highest grade was a lovely stick of red and white candy. After this the evening was spent in playing “AVinkum,” “Spin the Platter,” and other old fashioned games. The refreshments were so good and so plentiful that everyone felt a need to be carried home. Before going, everyone voted on the best dressed “kid” there and Louise Hilts walked off with the prize. Patfe 53 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Junior Weiner Roast I raffic was congested on the square alxmt four-thirty November third, when the Junior class passed through enroute to the popular picnic grounds. eldon Springs, hor all the Juniors and some of the faculty members went. 1’. hord was hitting on all four cylinders and planned to have a big fire, burning up some unnecessary logs and the boathouse. The custodian, although a hord owner, thought we were unwise so we went over the hill; even the marshmallows did. I he football fellows and basketball girls came out later, leaving no crumbs for the birdies. Apples and dates were the last course, the dates going to see Wally Reid. Junior Circus A big circus came to town and pitched its tents in the Washington gym on November twenty-ninth. This was the first performance in the gym, but rehearsals had been held in the various class rooms. A track meet was the main show. 1 he two Junior athletes, lone and Walter, were captains with Mag for referee. Entrants Events Footrace Whistling Low Hurdles One foot race Juniors and Faculty Winners H. Hoyt F. Peers H. Hoyt A. Ross Prizes Doll shoe Baby bottle Doll shoe Doll baby Official mute-yell leaders were C. Shields and M. Kirk. Mr. Lasater was judge. The eats committee hated to get a bad rep at the first party. After bluffing us, we finally did have some royal eats, not a hit like pink lemonade and other circus eats. Typing Party At the Washington School Gym on December eighth the Typing Classes entertained those who helped with the Carnival. Including the classes anti several chaperones, the number present was about one hundred twenty. The Entertainment Committee planned to have a variety card partv and it certainly was, as almost every game of cards known was plaved. A competitive automobile guessing contest was held and Gerald Fenner received the prize, a toy automobile. Miss Ross was able to guess only one car and you can guess what it was. During the progress of the games an auction was held. Wayne Sprague, l ecause of his linguistic powers, was employed as auctioneer. Previous to the sale each person present was supplied with “money”; then the bidding Page 54 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 began. The articles sold consisted of the usual variety among which was a “Ford car.” In the course of the bidding Miss Ross, becoming very enthusiastic, bid the highest and won the car. Wonder what she wants with two Fords? From the number who bid when “Pair-A-Dice on Earth” was offered for sale, one might judge that High School pupils were not all fun loving people. There were two teams entered in the paper walking contest and Mrs. Scott’s team proved much superior to the other. The refreshments were somewhat out of the ordinary, but contrary to predictions, no serious effects were ever reported to the departmnt. The Girls’ Athletic Association’s Pep Meeting Place—The Assembly room. Time—January 5, 1923. 10:30 A. M. Characters—The G. A. A.’s. A group of mourners, led by Preacher O'Brien, and three caskets representing Alton, Atlanta, and Wapella, the three opposing basketball teams, greeted the assembly this morning. How sad we looked as we marched around the assembly hall and went up to the platform where a brief service was held. Then we tried to arouse some “pep” for the games. A few of the best poets in our association including Mag Hamilton, Jean Costley and Lila Toombs, with the help of our leader, wrote some very clever parodies on the latest songs. Among these were “The Sheik,” and “Swanee River Moon.” Helen English, Clara Gideon and Nell O’Brien made two of the songs much more effective by singing them alone. The girls then gave many of the association and high school yells which were led by Mag and Martha. Nell called together the entire assembly. Everyone stood at once and joined in the songs and yells. The girls closed the meeting with the song, “There’ll Be a Game Tonight.” Apron and Overall Party Miss Barker’s Ancient History classes had an Apron and Overall party at the High School on the evening of January 17, 1923. The girls wore aprons and the boys were supposed to wear overalls, but of course a few of the more distinguished members of the masculine sex, including Hienie Neill, Charles Morse, and Bert Wilson were ashamed to be seen in such apparel as overalls worn by honest working men; they came dressed up. Music and games furnished the amusement for the evening. Two contests proved especially novel and interesting. One was a “Shakespearian Romance”; the other was “Recognition.” Prizes were given in each contest to those having the most nearly correct answers. The first was won by Miss Paffe 55 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 9 2 3 Lyle, while Miss Barker, Anna Louise Bean, and Martha Kunkle carried away the honors for the second. Prizes were also given to the boy and girl who were considered the most attractive in their costumes. The winners were Madie Comer and James Hubble. A large number was present including four members of the faculty. At a late hour refreshments were served and all reports indicated an enjoyable time. Junior Party The Juniors, realizing that time was short and the party quota incomplete, had their second party. The gym furnished a good setting. For the first hour the girls exercised their thumbs in that highly exciting game, “Simon Says Thumbs Up.” Meanwhile, the boys played soldier with the broom sticks to their dear little hearts’ content. Although it was only January twenty-second, Cupid had started shooting arrows. Two of the Juniors were victims, and as a natural consequence there was a wedding. The bride, Bill Doyle, being a bashful young miss, failed to appear. As Jim Hubbel was the groom, there were plenty of substitute brides. Lloyd Costlev was the officiating minister. Next we played “Winkum,” “Winkum, and more “Winkum.” Fats? Of course we had 'em. Best part of the party. Each basketball player made a fortune from his cake. They all received one penny. Sophomore Backward Party The Sophomores held a backward party on January 26, 1923, in the Washington gym. Many amusing persons presented themselves at the party. The first tiling on the program was the eats. These were preceded by a toothpick and followed by a napkin. Dainty little cakes in gold and maroon were served with Jello in the same colors. After eating, each person was given a card. On each boy’s card was the name of a state and on each girl’s the name of a capital. In this way partners were chosen. It was significant that the class lovers happened to match cards. After this, many enjoyable games were played, among which were, “Living Alphabet,” “Who, What, and Where,” “Draw Your Own Foot,” “Fruit Basket,” and “Barnyard Game.” Various persons told amusing stories, and anyone who laughed was required to pay a forfeit. Senior Party The Seniors felt that they needed an outlet for their feelings after they had taken their examinations; therefore, they held a party at the home of Ruth Savelev on Wednesday, January thirty-first. The evening was spent in playing guessing games. One game, invented by Mrs. Scott, consisted of Pasrc 56 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 questions to be answered with the names of authors we had studied in English that semester—a sort of second examination. Another game we played made us use four of our five senses, but our sense of taste suffered most. Different unlabeled spices and extracts were placed before us. We were supposed to write on a piece of paper the name of each. After tasting each of twelve extracts four or five times, no one knew whether he had tasted peppermint or lemon the time before. A prize was given the one guessing names of the most of them. Late in the evening delicious refreshments of cocoa and sandwiches were served. Girls’ Athletic Association Party The Girls' Athletic Association had a party in the gymnasium to welcome the new Freshmen members. So that the Freshmen would not feel out of place we older girls dressed as “kids,” too. The members of the faculty were also there. First we were given all-day suckers and toy balloons. We looked at the Freshmen and as they were busy devouring their suckers, we did likewise. We played “London Bridge,” “Farmer-in-the-Dell,” and “Jacks.” Since the floor had just been oiled, we decided to play train. Some young Freshmen had brought a case full of doll clothes. We put Miss Levy and Miss Porter on the train, gave them a doll and the suitcase and took them 'round and 'round the gym; finally dumping them in “Deland.” Sometimes we had collisions. Two trains bumped and mashed Miss Barker's hand. Later in the evening we formed in circles and were fed. Dramatic Club Party Two days after Saint Valentine had so kindly remembered everyone with hearts and good wishes, the Dramatic Club held a party in his honor at the home of Mrs. Scott. Although it was Friday night the guests worked overtime and thought seriously on such a game as “Cupid Pie.” The letters of the words were mixed but it ended in “hugs,” ‘kisses,” and “engagement rings”—not Honest Injun though, as there were no marriage licenses issued. Prizes of the ten cent variety were given to the victor of each guessing game. Lois Rudasill’s reading, “Tale of a Shirt, would have been another wise one if it had not been missing in all important words. Card games were played and the house seemed to echo with “Flinch” and “Pigs.” Elizabeth Weed-man and Oneta Schafer made cocoa enough to fill all of Mrs. Scott’s vessels. Everyone had such a dandy good time that at a late hour the good-byes were said rather tearfully.

Robbins Solon Tucker, Crane’s Attorney...............................George Benson Thomas Lefferts, Statistical Poet ............................Harry Ashley The story is that of the four Dangerfield children whose parents were compelled to go abroad for the health of the father. Running short of money the children leased the house to a Yankee, Burton Crane. When the corp of white servants failed to arrive the children took their places—Olivia, the oldest, became the cook; Paul, the butler; Charles, the handy man; and Elizabeth, the maid. Their troubles were many, especially as Burton Crane had brought some guests, Mrs. Faulkner (unofficially dubbed an “old hen” by Elizabeth), Solon Tucker, her brother, and Cora, her daughter. Randy Weeks, the agent for the Dangerfields, Solon Tucker, and Burton Crane all fell in love with the pretty cook and found many excuses for coming to the kitchen—Burton Crane was the only one who found favor. The realistic kitchen scene and the dining room scene were well played. The humor was excellent. The entire cast did their parts so well that their acting was a compliment to the directors. The High School Orchestra played between scenes. Miss Cheek deserves much credit for training such a well-organized orchestra. Their music was splendid and we do not realize how necessary it was unless we imagine how uninteresting and flat the time between scenes would have been without music. The ushers for the afternoon and evening were Anabel Thomas, Juanita Brewer, Kate Ives, Alice Carter, Lola Hidden, Monica Pyne, Ruth Saveley, Cleo Brown, Eleanor Jones and Louise Hilts. Their job was not easy but it was most appreciated by everyone. Junior Party The best anti last Junior party was an April Fool and Easter party. The main corridor was decorated in cerise and gray. The boys thought the decorations in red and white were pretty. Their further lack of color sense was shown by the Easter hats which they designed for the girls. Lamps, flowers, and a victrola with popular music made us feel that there's no place like school for parties. Rowdy games were played, “Streets and Alleys” being the most popular one. The girls were nimble “its” and beat the boys down the streets. Miss Renich was the guest of honor. The eats were like Jello, as they were delicious and appetizing. Estel and Mac make good chefs PaRe 58 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 when bossed by the capable “eats” committee. There was chocolate candy with fillings of nuts, onions, and garlic. There was no fooling about the real refreshments as everyone wanted more and quite miracuously had more. Latin Week—April 23-27 Latin Week has almost become an institution. This was its third year and it was even more successful this year than it had been before. Monday evening the members of the Classical Club entertained their parents and friends. The orchestra played and interesting talks were given by business men. Miss Barker gave an unusually interesting discussion on “Pompeii”. After the program refreshments were served. Tuesday after school an educational film, “The Last Days of Pompeii”, was shown at the Clintonia theater. Wednesday the Latin Department gave a play on the High School campus entitled, “A Sack of Apples . The play was given in Latin and was very well done. The High School Band played previous to the play. The Latin Banquet was held on Thursday evening. After a bountiful supper interesting toasts were given. Llelen Robbins was toast-mistress. This completed the program but an exhibit of Roman shoes, Caesar's bridges, a Roman camp, a chariot, javelins and shields was shown during the entire week. Junior Picnic On May the fourth the wind played tag with the rain clouds. The wind was a staunch friend of the Juniors and finally tagged the clouds to base. A delightful picnic at Weldon Springs followed. About fifty braved the weather. Excursions were made to all ends of the adjoining pastures in search of wild flowers. However, it was not a wild hunt. Farmer-in-the-Dell and rowing furnished the amusement for the prelude. A long bread line was then formed. Sympathy was freely given to the “end” people, but all had a little food. Some had more. The last game, Three Deep, was played on the return trip in the Fords. Senior English Picnic One very warm evening after school in May the Senior English classes stowed themselves in cars and drove to Weldon Springs. Only one boy braved the deep and went in swimming for it was a little early in the season for such sport. Two boys enjoyed paddling with boards for oars in an old leaky boat. They refused a good boat and said theirs was cheaper. Everyone thought the eats were sublime. Earl Lowe especially liked peanut butter sandwiches, they tasted so much like mustard. Earl was always fond of mustard. Page 59 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 Dramatic Club Picnic What?—A Memory! Who?—The “Brainy” Company! Where ?—Carl Springs ! How?—U Auto No! When?—May 9, 1923!

Junior-Senior Reception 1 he Seniors and members of the Faculty were the guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Reception. The reception was given in the main corridor and the cafeteria of the High School building on the evening of May twenty-ninth. The entire reception was formal. The program consisted of music, which was furnished by the Miller brothers and the “Seven Clintonians A rare form of entertainment was provided by an out-of-town reader who delighted the audience with her group of selections. The refreshments were extraordinarily good. The decorations transformed the building into a gay, festive ball. This was the last social affair and the general feeling was “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we leave you”. Page 60 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 9 2 3 Glee Club Director—Sylvia M.

There were three solos which were sung by Anna Louise Bean, Myrtle Shell and Elizabeth Weedman. The girls hope to carry away the honors, as they did last year from the County Contest held late in the Spring. PaRe 61 THE CLINTONIA —1 923 Orchestra Director— Sylvia M.

It is composed of fifty members of the three upper classes who have passing grades. The purpose of the Club is to stimulate interest in the better dramas by-giving plays and having programs consisting of the study of the theater and the lives of playwrights. At one meeting this year members participated in a very heated debate upon the hard road question. The arguments given brought to light some splendid debating qualities. The plays given this year were, “The Knave of Hearts”, “Where, but in America”, “ 'Op ’O My Thumb”, “Martha’s Mourning”, “Enter the Hero”, “Nevertheless , “The Impertinence of the Creature . “Sham”, and “The Wonder Hat”. All plays have been well given. Each play was criticized by two members. Social times were not neglected either. Everyone seems to have eating ability and the play instinct as well as dramatic ability. 1 he success of the Club is partly due to the excellent coaching of plays by the English teachers. The interest and willingness of the members also has been much higher. The Classical Club Parties During the year the Classical Club has had three parties. The first one was held just a few days before Christmas and the gymnasium was gailv decorated and lighted by a Christmas tree. Each guest brought a ten-cent present and it was indeed funny to see a boy receive a bottle of perfume or a girl a tin horn. Refreshments were served after which everyone pitched in and helped wash the dishes. The other two parties were held in the High School and games such as “Rook and “Flinch” were played. Activities of the Typing Club The Typing class met Monday, October 16, 1922, for the purpose of forming a Typing Club. There has never been a Typing Club in this school before. Earl Lowe was elected president by a standing vote, and Ruth Save-ley, secretary-treasurer. As the C lub needed a victrola for its use in the department, three candy sales were held during the foot-ball season. Sufficient funds were not raised from these sales and at a meeting held October 23, 1922, plans were made to hold a carnival at the Y. M. C. A. 1 his carnival was a great success in many ways anil about $150 was added to the treasury. With a part of this money a “Columbia was purchased which has l een in constant use ever since. The class now has a small fund in the Savings' Bank. 1 he Board of Education has recently purchased a steel filing cabinet for use in the department. Page 64 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 92 3 On April 28, 1923, the District Contest of the Ninth Annual Interscholastic Contest in shorthand and typing was held in Bloomington. Marion Galligar, Elizabeth Fitzsimmons, Thelma Barr, Ruby Cooley, Helen Davis, Dean Miller and Ruth Humphrey were sent to defend the rights of the beginning class; while those from the advanced class were Helen Robbins, Helen Metz, Lois Rudasil, Eleanor Jones, Clara Blue, Anabel Thomas and Adda Davis. The teams succeeded in winning two seconds and one third. Thelma Barr ranked third as a shorthand writer in the 60-word dictation and Helen Metz second in the 80-word dictation. Helen Metz also won third place as an advanced typist. These rankings entitled the winners to enter the State Meet at Normal, May 12. The Home Economics Club—Martha Division The Home Economics Club was continued this year in two divisions— the Martha Division (cooking class) and the Priscilla Division (sewing class)—with greater success than last year. Our first meeting as the Martha Division was held at the home of Miss Gibson. Officers were elected and afterwards interesting papers were read. At another meeting the program consisted of articles on “Courtesy”. The first social event was the annual Christmas party in which both divisions participated. This year we undertook the furnishing of our class dining room. We held candy sales, sold arm bands, obtained subscriptions for McCall’s Magazine, and held a bazaar and supper, earning a total of about one hundred dollars. The School Board became interested in our project and purchased draperies, a rug, and a new electric fixture. We purchased the dining room suite with the money earned by the various activities. In May a Mother-Daughter Banquet was held and later a Sample Luncheon was served at the home of Agnes Wright. Home Economics Club—Priscilla Division All girls in the Clothing Department of the High School were invited to an after school meeting to decide upon organizing a Home Economics Club. The majority were in favor of the plan and officers were elected and committees appointed. The officers elected were Irene Doak. President; lola Dickerson, Vice-president; Barbara Grady, Secretary, and Louise Redding-ton, Treasurer. The name, “The Priscilla Division of the High School Home Economics Club was chosen. The object is to promote an interest in problems relating to Home Economics. Among the most interesting programs were, a talk bv Miss Leeds to which the girls of the High School were invited, a stereopticon lecture by Miss Gibson on “The Textiles,” the life and poems of Edgar Guest and a Mother’s Day program in May. PaRe 65 THE CLINTONIA —1 923 On December fourteenth a bazaar was held in the High School. Garments made by the Sewing classes, novelties made bv the Art and Design department and candy made by the C ooking class were sold. The Cooking class also served the supper. About fifty dollars was added to the treasury which will be used in furnishing the dining room. At the state meeting of I lotne Economics teachers, a club pin was selected for all vocational clubs in the state. This division ordered pins and when all the orders were in it was found that over fourteen hundred girls in the state would wear the club pin. The Cafeteria In the school year of 1919-’20 a special study of the noon lunch problem was made. We discovered that about one hundred fifty students were eating a cold lunch at the noon hour. The school board decided to furnish and equip the old Domestic Science room for a Cafeteria. As a result we have the clean, well lighted, and conveniently equipped lunch room. The expense was large but the result has more than justified the expenditure. Our first year met with the usual discouragements that attend a new organization, but we were able, by giving special dinners and entertainments, to make the finances come out even. The patrons became more interested and the attendance gradually increased. The second year began with enthusiastic support by the students and a generous loan by the Board of Education. The attendance was rather small, but by having a Junior and Senior day once each two weeks during the second semester and by observing the special holidays we built up the finances. We held a public supper and came out able to pay our debt to the Board with a small balance in the bank. The third year we were able to put in our winter supplies without borrowing money. The students patronized the lunch room in increasing numbers. More members of the faculty l egan attending and we felt ourselves fairly well established. We no longer held the special days, and were able to keep our bank balance satisfactory. Mrs. Minnie Hill, who had been the cook for the second year, found a more remunerative position and left us at the end of the first term. Mrs. W. D. Ford followed her into the work and helped to make the year the best we had enjoyed. This year opened with enough cash in the hank to lay in supplies and start us off well. Mrs. Ford came back to us and her cheerful, willing help in every detail has made her indispensable to our successful year of service. Many students had been asking for something to eat during the morning. At Mrs. Ford's suggestion we made a few sandwiches and sold them at ten-thirty. As a result we have had an average sale of thirty-five sandwiches a morning. Consequently we were able to raise the salary for service to a more worthy amount. The sale of Hershey bars also helped to put us on a satisfactory financial basis. Parc 66 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 9 2 3 The second semester is drawing to a close and we are happy to report another year of successful achievement. Only a very few of the students are eating the cold lunch, while many either buy the entire meal or some hot food to supplement their sandwiches. There has been a real improvement in the selection of menus. Many students are using well combined meals and not the excess of sweets to the sacrifice of the more substantial foods that formerly prevailed. One very happy feature about our Cafeteria work is the kindly co-operation and courtesy that the students show to one another and to those in charge of the department. The students are usually patient and often helpful on days when the crowd is unusual. The conduct at the tables is a vast improvement over the old time “eat and run” type that prevailed before the Cafeteria was installed. We feel that this article would not be complete without a word of appreciation to those who have served us faithfully, and to those who have supplied our needs in the past three years. Williamson’s Market, Russell Meyer Grocery Co., Conant's Bakery, Brooks Scott, and Mrs. Carl Blue are entitled to a generous share of thanks, often coming to our assistance in unlooked for emergencies. Miss Opal Whitehead and Mrs. Minnie Hill and Eloise Bennett have proved themselves a “help in time of trouble,” while Mildred Parker has been a faithful helper during the entire year. Ernest Tuggle has often come to our assistance and proved himself both accurate and reliable. For these and all others who have helped to make the Cafeteria a success, we wish to express our sincere thanks. It is our earnest desire that the Cafeteria may continue to be a success both in its service and in a financial way until all students who must come with a cold lunch will be able to at least supplement it with the appetizing and health giving hot food that the body requires. Mabel H. Gibson. Ancient History Club At the beginning of the year the Ancient History classes organized three clubs, one for each class. “The Hourglass,” “The Marathon,” and “The Apollo,” were the names chosen for the clubs. Miss Barker proved a very able leader for the clubs. A chairman and a secretary presided at the meetings, which were held weekly on Friday. On the program committee were two who with the aid of the secretary, made a program for each meeting. The program consisted of eight or ten topics, the topics being evenly divided between ancient and modern events. Some wondered why modern events were used at all but after a little thought the relation between the ancient and modern was soon understood. After four days of ancient history happenings a little moisture in the form of current topics was appreciated following the dry spell. The classes ordered Page 67 THE C L I N T O N I A—1 9 2 3 loose leaves dealing with current topics which contained all important affairs of the previous week in concise statements. This developed an interest in international affairs. 'I'he classes published a newspaper which was called the “Historical Review. By the usual method of election, the staff of six editors was taken from the three clubs. There were six reporters assisted by extra members who made the paper a universal publication. Its content was important news, funny local jokes, and other comments. The Ancient History department was grateful to the typing department for the assistance which they so willingly rendered in the publication of the paper. The Classical Club The Classical Club was organized by the upper Latin classes early in December. The members were those in the Cicero and Caesar Classes who had passing grades, those in the freshmen classes who maintained an approved average in Latin and any other who were especially interested. Edwin Wampler was elected president. The purpose of the club was to provide a knowledge of the classics to the members and to extend the interest in this subject. The club meets the first and third Thursdays of every month in the High School Assembly Room. The first meeting of the month is a business meeting followed by a program of music, play reviews, and subjects of interest to Latin students. The second meeting of each month is social in nature, and the time is spent in Latin games. We hope the club will continue next year. The interest during this year has been good and the results encouraging. The saddest words of tongue or pen Are these sad words: Revise again. When this I hear from Mr. Peers My mind is filled with awful fears. When Miss Foote speaks these words so sad I turn quite pale and feel quite bad. Next comes Miss Wynd along the line With these words printed so neat and fine. Or when these words from Ham Alwood It seems they are—er-not so good. Then Mrs. Scott utters these words of fate And Oh! my heart is filled with hate. But no matter what you do or don't It doesn't pay to say, “I won’t”. Because whether you are out or in You’ll hear these words—Revise again. Pasre 68 THE CLINTONIA— 1 923 Athletic Association President—Harry Ashley Vice-President—Claude Barrett Secretary—Walter McIntyre Board Faculty Mr. Hoover—Coach Mr. Perkins Mr. Alvvood of Control Students Seniors —Oren Chandler Juniors—Merle Griffin Sophomores—Carl Duesing Freshmen—Max Hcll The Athletic Association was reorganized late this year, the above officers and representatives being elected. Considering the many things the Athletic Association has done this year it is the most successful yet. The Association besides buying entire new equipment both in football and basketball, sent the basketball team on a southern trip and also to the Interscholastic Basketball Tournament held in St. Louis. This was a very fine thing for the school and the Athletic Association should be thanked for it. The sending of the teams on such trips this year spent practically all of the money in the Treasury. With the best equipment the High School has ever had and a small amount of money in the Treasury, the association wishes the association1 of 1923-1924 the most successful year the school has ever known.

Illinois State rules were used, the girls working for points. Dorothy Carter was the only girl who was awarded “numerals” from the State Organization. This year the association was reorganized bv the girls and Miss Holzinger. State rules were not used, but a constitution was drawn up by the girls. Meetings were held every Tuesday night, and after the business, games were played. In October the association enjoyed a Hallowe'en party. It was truly weird. Later in the year the G. A. A. gave a pep meeting just before the Alton, Atlanta, and Wapella games. On the night of the Alton game the girls surprised the team by wearing new maroon and gold caps—worn only by members of the organization. On February second the first team Freshmen played a game of basketball against the first team Sophomores on the Y. M. C. A. floor just before the hoys played Gibson City. The score was 4 to 2, in favor of the Freshmen. The second semester there was a kid party given in the gym to welcome the new Freshmen. The girls also ljecame better acquainted with the new teachers at this party and found them jolly good “kids. 1 he girls wish to thank Miss Holzinger for her help and good comradeship while she was here. Pane 70 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Football Barrett—Captain “Runt'’ was a good pilot and field general, always displaying that nev-er-die” spirit which characterized his playing throughout the year. We lose him by graduation this year. Ayton—Fullback Whenever a few yards were needed for a first down, “Cud” was the one who could be depended upon. His aggressive fighting on offense and defense was the downfall of many plays. Chandler—Center At the pivot position “Honk” was at his best. With accurate passing he helped the backfield get away to a quick start. W alden—Halfback Dan’s ability to pass and plunge the line made him one of the best offensive men of the team. When shifted to end on defense, few plays ever passed by him. M adden—C enter To “Widder” went the task of starting all plays, and he was always on the job. On defense he was a tower of strength. Wilbur graduates this year and his loss will be keenly felt. Pane 71 THE CLINTONIA — 1 923 Brown—Tackle Although this was his first year at football, “Brownie” played tackle in a veteran manner, always being in the way of the opponent’s offense. “Brownie” will be with us next year and we are expecting him to be one of the best tackles in this section. McIntyre—End Walter was one of the most reliable ends whom we saw play. He was in every play, and never quit until the whistle blew. His pet hobby was spilling interference, connecting with end runs and falling on fumbles. Another good man for the next year’s team ! Griffin—Guard Merle is small of stature but monstrous in a football suit. Opponents who judged him by his size usually came to woe, for his greatest pleasure was stopping plunges through the line. Miller—Guard Dean started out as one of the chief “utility” men but before the season progressed far, he had earned a place as one of the regulars. He will be with us again next year. Bianucci—Guard Henry was a good line player, and could always be depended on to put forth his best when in the game. He is another player playing his first year of football, and should develop into a valuable lineman next season. Page 72 THE CLINTONIA —1 923 Kirk—End-Halfback When it came to leading interference, Kirk could not be surpassed. He always got his man, and as a receiver of passes he was unusually accurate. Marshall is a junior this year and great things are expected of him in his Senior year. Willis—Tackle Cleo although not experienced in the game proved to be very valuable. He was always ready' to learn and played a very' creditable game. Hartsock—Halfback Wayne was the utility man of the back field. He was able to fill any of these positions with credit. At halfback he was usually good for a gain, by his quick line plunging, or elusive running the ends. Toombs—Tackle “Bob” started in the backfield, but was soon shifted to the line, where he proved to be one of the best tackles that ever represented the school. Hubble—Tackle Jim used his size to the best possible advantage in the line. He was a tower of strength in the line and a hard fighter. Jim should tear ’em up about right next year. Page 7S THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Clinton, 46; McLean, 0 As this was the first game of the year every effort was put forth to win. With a comparatively inexperienced team, our chances were not as bright as they might have been. However, the game proved to lie a good tryout for all the Clinton men. Substitutes were used frequently by Coach Hoover. Ayton, “Smally , and Barrett were consistent ground gainers throughout the game. Clinton, 7; Normal, 20 Normal came to Clinton with a much heavier and experienced team than ours, and their good team work pointed to their winning by a comfortable score. However, they were able to score but one touchdown in the first half, t linton came back strong in the third quarter and by clever passes Ayton carried the ball over for the tieing score and Smallwood kicked goal putting us one point in the lead. Clinton was well on the way to another score when Hibbs intercepted a pass and counted the last score for Normal. Clinton, 7; Bement, 0 This was the first game where the real strength of the Clinton team was displayed. It was a battle from the first sound of the official whistle to the final one. By consistent good team work we scored in first quarter when Barrett crossed the goal from Bement’s fifteen yard line. Avton kicked goal. We were again in scoring distance in the second quarter, but a bad pass from our center lost the ball on downs. Only once did Bement threaten to score, this being in the last quarter, when they crossed our twenty yard line, but we held them for downs and kicked out of danger. Paj?e 74 THE C L I N T O N I A — 1 9 2 3 Clinton, 6; U. High, 55 We received the worst defeat of the season at U. High. Our lack of fight made it an easy matter for U. High to score almost at will. The half ended 27 to 0. With but four minutes to play we tried long passes and carried the hall from our own twenty yard line across the U. High line for our only score. On the next kick off we received and on a long pass from Barrett to Kirk we again crossed the goal, but the official ruled that the whistle sounded before the play started. Clinton, 7; Lincoln, 7 In what was probably the hardest fought football game ever played in Clinton, Lincoln was fortunate to hold us to a tie score. Lincoln was favored to win by a top heavy score, but they were unable to stop the passes and plunging of the Clinton team. By picking up a fumble and running sixty yards for a touchdown they held the lead the first half. In the second half by passes and plunges we carried the ball across the goal for the tie score. We outplayed our heavier opponents for the remainder of the game but could not get across for the winning points. Clinton, 0; Pekin, 1 We traveled to Pekin in autos. After a couple of wrecks, and traveling over muddy roads we reached there about 4:30 P. M. It was too late to play, and we forfeited the game to Pekin. Clinton, 7; Decatur, 17 We went to Decatur with great expectations, but we saw, however, very soon that it was impossible for us to beat Decatur at Decatur. Decatur scored in the first quarter on line plays. Clinton came back strong in the second quarter, and by use of the forward pass evened the score when Barrett took a long pass from Ayton. During the third quarter we pulled a fake play for eighty yards and a touchdown. The headlinesman ruled us offside and the score didn't count. We were penalized five yards and forced to punt. Decatur tried a pass which resulted in a score. They later kicked a field goal for the additional three points. Clinton, 0; Pana, 28 Pana called us for a game the day before Thanksgiving, and when we were ready to leave Thanksgiving morning, four of our regulars were unable to go. We lost to them under such a handicap. Pana scored in each quarter, three times picking up fumbles and running for a touchdown. The game was played during a steady rain, which made it most impossible for us to use our open attack. After the game we had a goose dinner but had to take part of it to the train with us. PaRe 75 THE C L I N T O N I A —1 9 2 3 Basketball Barrett Runt”—Captain “Runt” was a scrappy player, fast, a good dribbler, and floor general. All through the season his playing was outstanding. His ability to slip down the floor for a close shot was the downfall of many of Clinton's opponents. Ashley Bun”—Center “Bun” was chosen as center on the “all star” basketball team in the County Tournament. This fact should speak for itself. Here's hoping we have more like you next year. Kirk Mud”—Forward “Mud” was a player of great ability, always aggressive and a good shot. He should be a great player next year. McIntyre Mac —Guard “Mac” proved to be one of the stars of the team. “Mac” was always on the job. Next year “Mac” will furnish any opposing man a stiff battle. Madden Cedar”—Center Madden was another of Coach Hoover’s dependable substitutes and could always be depended on to do his stuff. Page 76 THE CLINTONIA —1 923 S m all wood “Smalley ’’—Forward “Smally” could always be counted on for several baskets during a game. His consistent scoring made him one of the most feared of the men on the team Duesinc Babe''—Guard “Babe” was fast, a good shot and a hard man to guard. Handicapped somewhat by his diminutiveness this year, he should be a valuable player next year. Lowe “Cocky”—Center-Forward “Cockey” although not a regular could always be counted on when needed to deliver his best. ’’Cockey” will be missed considerably by graduation. Polen “Est —Guard “Est” although not a regular made the trip to the district tournament and in the games he did play he showed very well. “Est” flight ’em next year. Arthington “Sheba”—Guard “Sheba” played indifferent basketball and did not get any great honors, but his loss will be a keen one to the team. Pa e 77 THE CLINTONIA — 1923 Clinton at Sullivan This was a very good game considering the circumstances under which it was played. The team had not been organized yet and had never practiced together. Although we were beaten it showed we had the old fight. We were completely out-played the first half but the second half the team came out with lots of pep and out-played Sullivan. Clinton at Deland Deland was cracked up to have one of the fastest small-town teams around here, blit they couldn't stand the pace with the Clinton boys. With only a weeks practice since the Sullivan game, Clinton looked like an entirely new team. Clinton at Waynesville The team went over to Waynesville all cockey over the game before and were swept down to the tune of a 17 to 16 beating. Alton at Clinton Alton was our first home game and it was also the first time we had ever played them. The team from the southern part of the state was a good one but not good enough to beat the Clinton squad. The score was: Clinton 24, Alton 18. Atlanta at Clinton Atlanta was fruit and didn’t look so good against the maroons. Coach Hoover now had a smooth running machine and they looked as if they were unbeatable; so the story was: Clinton 40, Atlanta 17. Decatur at Clinton The big game of the season was somewhat of a failure in that Decatur sent a bunch of scrubs up here and expected to w-in. Hence, it was the same old story. We won 27 to 11. Clinton at Atlanta We drove to Atlanta to play basketball on an ordinary gym floor but instead we played on a dance floor. We waltzed Atlanta to the tune of 25 to 15. Pa e 78 THE CLINTONIA — 1923 Waynesville at Clinton Bad luck overtook us in this game and we couldn’t get going until it was too late, so we fell before them. The score was 19 to 17. Gibson City at Clinton Drummer township caught us on an off night, and handed us a defeat of 20 to 16. Our forwards seemed only able to hit the ring of the basket, hut could not drop them through. Bement at Clinton Bement was supposed to he one of the best teams around here, hut when they got up against a real basketball team they didn’t go so well. So it was a sad story for Bement to go home and tell, hut they were brave hoys and went home and told the folks that they had been beaten 36 to 25. Clinton at Alton Clinton, although beaten in the game with Alton High, was successful in the line of heart-breaking. Just ask Marsh, Kirk and Mac. The score was 27 to 22. Clinton at Woodriver Clinton went to Woodriver over-confident because of the small population, but soon found out that Woodriver could play basketball. The score was: Clinton 8, Woodriver 16. Clinton at Taylorvillk Clinton was beaten at Taylorville. Every team gets stale along about this time of the season and doesn’t play so well. The next night Clinton played Danvers at Clinton and soon showed the crowd they were over their stale spell. The score was 25 to 14. Clinton at Decatur Decatur held its usual jinx on Clinton and defeated us 43 to 9. Dewitt County Tournament The third annual Dewitt County Basketball Tournament was held in the Clinton Y. M. C. A. gymnasium January 19 and 20. Eight teams entered the tournament—Clinton Seniors, Clinton Juniors, Clinton Freshman-Sophomores, Wapella, Waynesville, Farmer City, Kenney and Weldon. The tournament was won by the Clinton Seniors, after playing through the secondary schedule. They were defeated by Waynesville in the first game, but meeting them again in the semi-finals the Seniors were victorious. Every game was a closely contested game. From the standpoint of exciting games, it has the district tournaments outclassed. The final game between the Seniors and Farmer City, who had eliminated Weldon in the semi-finals, was probably the best of the tournament, when the Seniors won by two points. By virtue of this win, Clinton now has two wins and Weldon one, toward the permanent possession of the County trophy. Clinton placed two men on the all-star team—Ashley of the Senior team, and McIntyre of the Junior team. Two Clinton players were also placed on the second all-star team— Smallwood of the Seniors and Kirk of the Juniors. The interest displayed by all the schools in the meet w'as fine, and the tournament was a huge success in even' respect. Missouri Valley Interscholastic Basketball Tournament Clinton was given an opportunity this year that it has never had before. We were invited to attend the Missouri Valley Interscholastic Basketball Tournament held at Washington University in St. Louis. Although Clinton played only two games they won the respect of the sport writers and fans of St. Louis for their wonderful speed and good team-wrork. District Tournament This year we were assigned to the Lincoln District, which was one of the new districts this year. The games were played on the Lincoln College gymnasium floor. Clinton opened the evening session by defeating Easton 11 to 8. Easton was one of the favored teams to win the tournament. The second evening we met Mt. Pulaski who defeated us 24 to 18. This was by far the fastest game of the tournament. Mt. Pulaski won the tournament, and was only defeated by Villa Grove, who won the State Meet at L rbana.
