FOREWORD We have prepared this volume of the Clintonia not as a literary production, but as a record of the school year 1924-1925. We believe, however, that it is more instrumental for ood than that, inasmuch as it serves as an advertisement for the school, its members and its accomplishments, showing the belief and faith that exists in the community of Clinton for the Hi h School.

It seems as though all the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labors to us people, were reposing here, as in some dormitory. I do not want to profane or to handle their leaves, their winding sheets. 1 could as soon dislodge a shade. I seem to inhale learning, walking among their foliage and the odor of their old moth-scented coverings as fragrant as the first bloom of May Apples which grew amid the happy orchard. —Lamb. Library “The Silver Maple” I think that I shall never see A tree that may in summer wear A poem lovely as a tree. A nest of robins in her hair; A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain; Poems are made by fools like me; But only God can make a tree. Joyce Kilmer. F acuity H. H. Edmunds, Superintendent Mr. Edmunds lias served the community of Clinton well in his work as superintendent of the public schools of Clinton. To him we are grateful for the present high standard of the schools of the city. Mr. Edmunds is a ready worker and is always interested in all of the student’s problems. Daniel Ward, Principal Mr. Ward has served as principal of the High School during the school year of 1924-1925. He has proven himself to he a conscientious worker who has the interests of the schools and the students at heart at all times. Clinton High School is not by any means Mr. Ward’s first venture into educational work as he has served as teacher and principal in schools in Colorado for a period of years. Clinton High School is indeed fortunate in securing him as principal. Miss Ross and Mrs. Scott. Deans Miss Ross and Mrs. Scott act as Deans and are Junior and Senior advisors respectively. The Deans probably are closer to the students than any other persons in the High School. Miss Ross teaches foreign language, while Mrs. Scott teaches English and literature. Miss Ross sponsors the Classical Club while Mrs. Scott is identified quite prominently with the Dramatic Club. Both are well liked, popular with the students because both are willing to lend the students a helping hand at all times. 0 Page 19 E3E= 3D 1925 The Clinton i a Kenneth D. Wilson, U. of I.

Max fulfilled his office in a capable manner and the high standing which the Juniors maintained throughout the year can he attributed to his works and effort.

S. opened its doors and soon found that it had a new hand of one hundred thirty-seven workers, who were called the “Freshman Gang.” Just as soon as the mechanism had been adjusted to tlie surroundings, the work started with Miss Barker and Mr. Peers as overseers. Since tlie first impression of this gang was very definite, the die was cast that it should he modeled as a pattern for others to come. Before this could he done co-operation was needed; therefore, Dan Overleese, Mable Woodward, Max I lull. Jane Chapin, and Audrienne Melvin were chosen assistants with Max, our representative. After these had been supplied, material was then needed upon which to base the pattern. Soon a large per cent had gained recognition of steady and serious workers. As all work and no play makes Jack a dull hoy, the gang took a furlough and held a wiener roast at Cherry Lane. After this all were at work again determined to make the next year better than this one. In September 1924, the hand, although decreased in number, hut not in strength, entered again to progress the development of the model. As we had decided to secure the material the first year and shape or design it the next year we worked in this manner, with Jane, Ruth, Jack, Harry, and Owen as helpers. In fact we progressed so rapidly that we had time for a “Kid Party” and later a Bob Sled Party. The third consecutive year, because we were more experienced socially and officially, we obtained more privileges. We were allowed to choose our own leaders and Clintonia Staff. Miss Ross, our very capable advisor aided us, and we chose Max, foreman; Kent, assistant foreman; Ruth, secretary, and Winnie, treasurer. After we had been aroused by a very enthusiastic party, we finished the most tedious part of our model. Our band had a large number of athletic association members, and also members of both football and basketball teams. During the annual tournament we added a few more touches by serving a supper in the school cafeteria. The older members of the factory are expecting an elegant reception, which shows that we have gained confidence on the part of others associated with us. After our St. Patrick party and various other entertainments, we stopped our work to enjoy another vacation. At the end of next year, our fourth year, we expect to have finished our model. Certainly with a few finishing touches such as the “Clintonia” and our class play it should easily be perfected. It may seem that we will have spent much time in making this model, but nevertheless the process has been very profitable. YY e must remember that it takes two hundred vears to make a sturdy oak and only two months to make a squash. Mildred Parker. 3 CEE 1925 Sophomore Girls Allen, Lucille Gideon.

I 'll tell the truth, both good and bad; Hut mostly good, I must declare, When it comes to goodness, we're right there. The Sophomores all were taught aright, They easily tell the day from night.

Hut with a smile looked for the fun. And fun it was, for our great host. When we held our first wiener roast. We journeyed out with lots of noise.

For next day our old High would play And Sophomore boys lead in the fray.” II The Freshie said in hold retort, “Ain't there nothin’ else but sport?” Soph—“Such dumbness is a real disgrace; You must he new around this place.

Than he called by upper classmen green and shv ? We Freshmen started in High School, September 1, 1924, with an enrollment of one hundred four, and we looked about as green as all Freshmen do, hut we didn’t think so. We certainly could tell the Sophomores from the Seniors. The Sophomores looked at us with scorn, never thinking that they were Freshmen last year, but the Seniors were different. They seemed so aloft and far above us. We stood in awe of them and had a hopeless longing to be like them. At our first Freshmen meeting, we selected: Gladys Williamson, Dorothy Fausnaugh, Catherine Burns, Louise Hall, Oliver Wood, Thomas Day, and Thomas Armstrong for our council and Alden Wilson for our athletic representative. Miss Sawyer was our advisor. Under her, we thrived as well as could be expected. In athletics we made a very good show. We didn’t do as well in football as we did in basketball. Oliver Wood was the only one who represented us in football. In basketball we had Donald Roles and Oliver Wood on the first team, and Ralph Karr and Raymond Nicholson on the second team. We were very proud of our players and we were as well represented as any Freshman Class. In February we were joined by thirty Mid-term Freshmen. They were so timid and they looked so green—but all Freshmen do. During Good English Week, we Freshmen gave a play at a general assembly. It was called, “Bound or Free.” The characters were: Princess Articulation, Winnie Mae Weedman, Fairy-Shall-Be, Dorothy Reddix. Heedless, Jesse Keswick, Constance, Catherine Kirk. Giant Ignorance, Harry Breighner, and Fifteen Brave Knights, fifteen Freshmen boys. We Freshmen have stood back this year, and watched the customs of the others. Each year we shall come a step farther to the front and show our ability to do greater things. Dorothy Reddix. DC DC 1925 D The Clintonia Class Day Program Wednesday. May 27, 1925. 2:00 P. M.

Class 1925 The Clintonia Salutatory Friends: Today is Class Day and as such, it is a momentous day to the Class of 1925. The day eminently starts us on a “today which decides a great tomorrow—our self-controlled futures. It practically finishes our course under direct parental guardianship, and starts us on trials of our own resources. Thus today is in reality a beginning of a new life although it may seem to he rnerelv the end of four years of high school. 1 might take much time in telling of these four years and enumerate the pleasures which we have enjoyed during the time. But. the feeling that these will soon he merely memories makes me wish not to dwell on the past seriously. It is enough in serious retrospection to acknowledge our debt to our instructors and those who made them possible. Yes, that is enough in regard to the past. But that acknowledgment includes a challenge for the future—a demand for success. The wav we succeed in the future is our payment to the sponsors of our education here, and we ought to pay them well. Success is measured by various standards. Service, however, is a factor of all true success and this element especially should he considered when we attempt to prove ourselves worthy of our heritage. Gratitude alone should make us desire to be serviceable, and when coupled with the debt we owe, it leaves us no ethical alternative, hut a life of service. Surely we cannot, after we have been privileged to acquire an insight into literature, art, law and science, isolate ourselves and live in a shell of selfishness. Such actions would counteract the benefits we have received, anti make us deserve no more than those who so failed to appreciate the ones who made a schooling possible for them, that thev left at the earliest opportunity. To keep out of that narrow and greedy outlook should be one of our chief aims. Powers, both physical and mental, have been the goal of many people for many years, and for as many years success in that goal has been accompanied, in some cases, with an egotism which is unnatural. Knowledge in such cases becomes sordid. It includes an opposite of the egotism which armors one against the hardships of life. It binds its possessor from further development. Egotism of this uncommendahle type is closely connected with self-satisfied isolation, and they are robbers trying to steal our payments for what we owe Clinton and its High School. However, we can, by recognizing our obligation to the world as a part of it. and tempering our futures with a grander humanity, overcome these robbers, and deliver a life of service. ou. friends, are making it easier for us Seniors to accomplish this purpose. our presence here shows a sympathy which is encouraging. We can look on you as ones who are interested in our success and thus we have something to in-soire us to better than our best. We appreciate vour presence and we hope that you will appreciate our chosen representatives as they close the career of the Class of 1925. as students with serious and humorous exercises. The Clintonia 1925 President’s Address ClassmATi:s and Friends: Today we are met as schoolmates of the Class of Twenty-five. The falling of von sun shall mark the eve of high school clays. When then again shall rise that sun the morn of Life shall dawn wherein these halls so long familiar shall then be left forever. Happy have been these years, and short. Friendships created and cemented during these years shall ever dear remain. Hut though we are loath to leave these scenes so dear to us yet we must not hesitate. This is not the end but only the beginning. Though we leave these pleasant ways which henceforth can he but memories we are emerging upon the duties of young manhood and young womanhood. Mav we keep in mind and ever heed that motto which has been our guide, “We will find a path or make one.” Ours is the heritage of the ages; ours is the blessing of a Christian nation; ours is the advantage of training; and ours is the duty of accepting the responsibility of taking our place in the wheel of progress cheerfully and wholeheartedly. 'fhe end of progress and advance is not yet. Xew problems shall face us just as problems have been presented in the past. Xew opportunities for service and for betterment shall he open to us just as they have in the past. Let us again resolve that with a sincerity of purpose, strength of conviction, and courage of heart, “We will find a path or make one.” We feel a debt of gratitude to those who have made these glorious years of school possible. To our parents; our teachers; and to those who have so freely given of their substance that our public school system might live, we are thankful. But mere words can never express our feelings nor repay our debt, only lives of usefulness and service can ever do that. Let us give to our country such faithfulness, to its ideals such loyalty, and to our works such usefulness, that our lives shall merit the commendation of those who have sacrificed for us. Classmates, though I am happy to have been honored by vour choosing me as your President during not only the Senior, but also the Junior year, the thing of which I am proudest is that I am one of you. Though our ways may he far scattered and our lives be far apart always shall those memories of Clinton High and those friends he dear to me. Page 57 1925 The Clintonia With these words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, which every member of the Class of ’25 might well take as his creed. 1 hid you farewell. “Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul. As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine out-grown shell by life’s unresting sea!” The Toll-Bridge )ur high school days are a bridge— But it is too late ; A part Of life’s journey; And four years of toil Is the toll we pay. Time— Has swept us on, Ever on, until We can not turn hack. We start with eager vigor, Longing for the end, Racing, With joy of youth. To meet it. Soon we tire; And the journey, instead of Jo y, Is grinding, heart-breaking Labor. But toward the end We look back; and think Of the things we would do Differently— Had we another chance. We must cross. And as we cross from youth To Life, Full of hard tasks and Little pay in joy— We look back at those Still crossing, Hoping to see faces Frowning with toil— But they only smile. And they should smile, For when we crossed That better part of life— Our youth— We smiled too. B. W. F. The Clintonia 1925 □e IQ Class History Why did our Forefathers seek new homes in a foreign land in the vear of 1620? They wanted Freedom of Religion. Why did we, one hundred sixty Pilgrims seek this House of Knowledge on that sixth day of September 1921 ? We came here for Freedom from the terrible thing called “Ignorance.” Upon landing from the Mayflower, we drew up our Pilgrim’s Compact. It was, “To stand United against those mighty Juniors and Seniors,” even as our Forefathers stood united against the Indians. Our Captain John Smith was Miss Madden, to lead us during that year. We were led off into the wilderness on October 19, 1921 to a Wiener Roast. We had many hardships that year, hut the majority of us survived from the hard rule of the Juniors and Seniors. We broke down the wilderness, became accustomed to our new homes and looked forward to the coming forth of new pilgrims, willing our freshness and greeness to them. We entered upon our Sophomore year full of vim, being glad to have received our Independence from the Juniors and Seniors as our Forefathers were ready for their Independence from England. First, a Proclamation was issued by Chief Executive Alwood for a social Reform. The Albany Congress, which consisted of the members of the Sophomore Class, met and decided to have a Backward Party on January 26th, 1923. in the Washington gymnasium. After many controversies and conflicts of the years of 1921 and 1922 we entered upon our Junior Year which marked a period of great material developments. including Industrial Reforms and Social Reforms. Our Industrial Reform was like a progressive nation, working for benefits of ourselves and the oncoming generation. re belonging to the Federalist Party put forth Ernest Tuggle for President and Edwin Lewis for Vice-President, with ability equal to George Washington and John Adams. With their noble work and with the co-operation of Grace Edwards as Secretary and Anna Louise Bean as Treasurer, our class has set up the real standard which the leaders of the younger generation will follow. ()ur great Social Reform was set on foot early in the year in the form of a steak fry being the first one every given in this school. Later we had a hob sled party. This ended our important events of our Junior Year. The population of the noble Senior Class in 1924-1925 was about eighty in number. Ernest Tuggle proved himself so capable of his office that we elected him president a second time. We elected Oneta Schafter, Vice-President and re-elected Grace Edwards as Secretary and Anna Louise Bean as Treasurer. We had many social features during our last year. The most important ones were the reception to welcome the faculty and the Senior dinner. We all hope that our toil in this school has not been in vain; and that outwork will influence you as those who have graduated before us have influenced us. We hope you other classmen will take up the duty which we seventy-nine graduates are now willing to you and fight against that thing known as “Ignorance” as we have tried to do. □c Page 59 3C1 IQ B EU r.A II We AT.H ERHOI.T. 1925 The Clintonia □i Senior Class Prophecy “Mystic, will you divulge to me The history of my classmates, free, Brave boys and girls; What will they be?” “They will be far and near and—” “Where?” Some in earth and some in air.

In witness hereof, and as a representative of the Class of 1925, I hereunto set my hand and seal. THE CLASS OF 1925. Senior Charge □d -=11 E==3t ■■ The Clintonia — — ■ jq 1925 J injurs: It is with mingled feelings of apprehension, calamity and disaster that we Seniors charge you on this eventful afternoon. These feelings are not caused hy acts of ours, but acts of yours and so we fear for the honor, traditions and customs of the school. Since we have not that faith in you which moveth mountains, we will attempt to show you wherein the Class of 1926 is failing. I say attempt because these words of mine are like those in the Bible, they fall upon barren ground. Now in school life there are usually three things that add distinction and honor to a class. They are athletics, class organization and lastly and most important, scholarship. I will show you beyond all reasonable doubt the superiority of the Class of 1925 in all three things. In wav of proof we will first turn to athletics. Now athletics has two sides to it —the same as a piece of paper—active participation, and active support, each as important as the other. First we shall consider Senior participants. In football we placed as many men on the first eleven as any class in school and those whom we placed were the stars of the team. It is hard for us to admit it, yet we must, there was only one Senior in the backfield, Bianucci. But Bianucci. and Ford. Senior end, were the only two men who scored during the entire football season. Wilson, Senior punter, made the points after touchdowns. In basketball our class carried the brunt of the battle. Three of the first five men were Seniors. The two guards, Taylor and “Doc” Woods were Seniors, and Duesing. premier forward of the team, was a Senior. The total score of the Seniors was held down somewhat by the absence of Duesing during the first semester due to eligibility rules, but when “Dues” became eligible who became the man on whom Clinton could rely ? Duesing—Senior! Now as to the support of athletics. Our class claims not only the distinction of supporting athletics to a greater extent than any in school, but any class that has been graduated from this school, for the Senior Class stood 102% in the Athletic Association drive due to “Ike” Harrison’s subscribing twice to make sure. Now as to the individuals who compose your class. In the first place your selection of class officers was completely wrong for what as a class have you accomplished ? Absolutely nothing, not even in the way of a successful party. You spent two-thirds of the year planning a party for yourself and the other one-third planning the Junior-Senior reception. The last third, however, was better spent. Now there is one individual in your class about whom I hesitate to speak, Frank Hoff, he of the marcel wave. To illustrate the pride and ignorance of the Class of 1926. I must tell the following on Frank. Frank, you know, was one of the Junior football heroes and was allowed his picture in the tar- ■ ■ =ir 3Q Page 67 1925 The Clintonia 3C=2 “Clintonia. thinking he looked like a second “Red” Grange in uniform, he inquired of Rert iison, athletic editor, where he could obtain a copy of the pictures. Bert told him at Jenkin's studio, and since Frank has only been a resident of this town for seventeen years, he didn’t know where Jenkin’s studio was. Bert told him that it was over Grimsley’s flower store and Frank, like a real Junior, swallowed it. Up to Grimsley’s he paraded, climbed the steps, opened the first door to the left and sat down in an easy chair. After he had been seated for five minutes, he thought that this looked more like a home than a studio and while yet thinking. Mrs. Grimsley appeared. “Why, what do you want?” Mrs. Grimsley asked, frank realized he had been fooled, and with his head low he asked, “Is this Jenkin’s studio?” “No,” Mrs. Grimsley replied. And Frank made his exit feeling about as little as a mosquito bite on a gnat. Juniors, that illustrates your class. There is one other point about which the Seniors are justly proud. Actual figures compiled in the superintendent’s office show that the grand average of the first five Seniors to the Senior year is ninety-five, while the grand average of the first five Juniors to the end of this year is ninety-three, showing that the Senior Class had marked superiority in intellignce over the Junior Class. Juniors, you have a great year before you. You can accomplish much in the way of athletics and scholarship. Make the school year. 1925 and 1926, a banner year and we will admit with you that any Class, graduated from this grand old institution, is 99.44r , excellent, but 1 also believe that the Class of 1925 has supplied that deficiency of .56 of 1and made the Class of 1925. 100' perfect. John L. McMahon. Page 68 The C lin t o n i a 1925 n==; Junior Response The Members of the Ci-ass of ’25: We commend you. Mr. McMahon, on your noble attempt, but you realize how impossible it is for a class of your standing to influence the direction of the class of the highest standing in the history of the Clinton High School—the Class of ’26. I must not proceed farther without speaking a few words for your worthy representative. He is. no doubt, a remarkable speaker—necessarily so to defend such an inferior class so generously. The proof of our superiority may be made apparent by a revelation of the facts. That the Juniors are superior in athletics is very evident. They have excelled in both basketball and football. First, let us consider football. Where did Coach Wilson find the greater part of his material? I’ll admit he found the hulk of it in Bert Wilson, a Senior. However, we shall consider only number and quality here. The Juniors furnished eight good men for the squad. How did you like that Junior hack-field composed of Callison, Langellier, and Hamilton? More than once. Callison stepped out around the end for big gains. We all admired him then, but the greatest admiration was expressed in the face of a certain Senior girl—you have good judgment, Penny,—select a Junior and you will never go wrong. Langellier was one of the hardest tacklers on the team, a good man at interference, and no slouch at carrying the ball. Hamilton’s heady piloting and all around ability were possessions of wrhich the team might rightfully boast. Also, in the line, the Juniors were prominent. Paul Hoff at tackle was one of Clinton’s most valuable men. Strange and McAboy played well at tackle or guard. The Juniors furnished two faithful substitutes: Marsh and Frank Hoff. Basketball repeats the same story with even a greater display of the Juniors' athletic ability. Who was high-point man? Hamilton, a Junior. Jones. Hamilton, and Langellier were three of the highest scorers and best all-around basketball men. Can you name any five Seniors who can equal them? But they were not the only stars from the Junior Class. McAboy starred at either center or guard. Do not forget that Adcock and Sprague remained faithful to the squad throughout the entire season. Oh Seniors, where are your athletes? I must not neglect to mention a few of the notorious ones—of course I refer to Allen Harrison, Edwin Lewis. Howard Neill, and Ben Ford. Allen, I believe, is your dancer. We all envy him his exceptional skill at teaching the girls new steps. Howard, as you all know, is one of Clinton’s famous billiard “sharks.” 1 believe Babe is the real sheik of the class. Benjamin was a good basketball player until he started devoting too much time to his studies, and as a result suffered from ill health. 1 almost forgot to mention Henderson, another one of your leading athletes. 1925 The Clintonia I believe that Henderson was your champion Bridge player. We’re-surely proud of you. Henderson, as well as the rest of vour outstanding athletes. We not only have hoys of prominence; the girls are outstanding in all school affairs: the Glee Club, Dramatic Club. Classical Club, G. A. A. We have scholars among the girls who will compete with any that you can produce. Let us consider a few of your weaknesses. First, let us have a look at your president. Ernest Evidently. 1 have always admired your gallant fifth horseman as he comes galloping down Center Street on his noble steed. One can see Ernest’s love for the brute and the brute’s love for Ernest—and then there is a striking resemblance in the countenances of the two—both have that characteristic earnest appeal. The majority of your girls have pretty fair judgment, as 1 have already indicated. Last year being Leap Year, a few of the Senior girls grasped the opportunity to invite Junior boys to a party. 1 believe that one girl even invited a Freshman rather than accompany one of her own petrified classmates. 1 have heard that two of your worthy members were accompanying Sophomore girls in a car when the driver, one of said worthy members, ran said car into the ditch. 1 would advise you to pay more attention to your driving, hoys, or else hire a chauffeur. You Seniors, surely ought to make fine college students. One cold day. I noticed several Senior “cooky-pushers’’ actually coming to school bare-headed. We don’t blame you for taking a pride in your beautiful hair. Bennie, but do l e careful to avoid catching cold. e must all he serious at times and 1 want to say a serious word here. We have had many good times together. Seniors. The Juniors are sorry to see you leave. But we shall follow you soon and others will take our places. Let us always remain friends, both true to C. C. H. S. C. Max Hull. The Clintonia 1925 Valedictory Honored Hoard of Education, Teachers, Classmates and Friends: As we, the Class of 1925, approach the end of our High School days, our thoughts are carried forward to the great beyond,—a mysterious something of which we know so little.—Life. To some of 11s, there is a great wall behind which there is, we know not what. To some, there seems a fairy land, glistening with pleasures and wealth. Some see only the work of Life, and wonder where they will find places. To me Life is like a wonderful rug, the great pattern of which begun hack in the Garden of Eden, is carried down through the ages. The pattern is the plan of the Creator, and in it. there is a place for everyone. All that have lived, and all that shall live have a part in the great design. In the eastern countries that are famous for their rugs, several generations live for the making of one rug. Greatest care is taken to make the rug of the best. The makers tend the sheep from which the wool is to come. Carefully they shear the sheep and clean the wool. First, it is made soft and pliable. The strands are combed, dyed and spun into threads. Part of these threads are stronger than the rest. These are for the foundation. Some are dyed in brilliant colors, to make the figures. At last, the weaving is begun. The weaver has no set pattern to follow. He has only a general theme in his mind. If you have examined one of these rugs, no doubt you have noticed the irregularity of design. That means the pattern must vary constantly. But underlying it all, there is a harmony that unites the parts into one design. Our Class of 1925 is a part of the great life rug. We of the class are the wool. At first, we were tended at home by our parents. Then the process of preparation began. We were strengthened, and toughened, that we might he useful in the weaving. Next, ideas were instilled into our minds—that was the dyeing. As we are colored in the preparation, so we appear in the rug. Some have brilliant colors, to brighten the pattern. Some have duller, hut more useful colors, to make the body. And some are for the foundation, strong and quiet, but indispensable to the beauty of the rug. In our character we find the strength of the rug. If our thread is defective, there will be a weak place in the rug. Said Emerson, “No change of circumstances can repair a defect in character—Realizing this, our teachers have taken care to make us strong and firm, well able to stand the strain of use. Thus prepared and colored, we are going forth. It is to you. our parents, we owe our initial strength. You have imparted to 11s the quality of the material with which those who prepare us for life are to work. It is you. our teachers, whom we thank for our strength and color. ou have trained us carefully, and given us the tints most suitable. Through your care, we have been prepared for use in life. And, now, as we all go forth, some will find places at once in this great pattern. They will become incorporated immediately in the design, fulfilling the pur- Page 71 □ G :t=]E 3f—---IE 3D 1925 The Clintonia pose for which they live. For others, the time will he longer, for they will go further in the process of coloring. And others will just have to wait. Each must keep his colors bright, for sooner or later he will he needed, and if he has been careless, his part of the rug will he imperfect. Let us never forget we are here for a purpose. Says the great essayist, “Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept thy place the Divine Providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so and confided themselves, childlike to the genius of their age. So we will do, trusting the ability given us. When, at last, the great rug is examined, may there be no imperfections caused by the Class of 1925. Changing a bit the well known stanza, we may say, “Weavers of Life are we as we stand. With the warp and the woof before us, aiting the hour, when at God’s command. Our life dream passes o’er us.” Classmates of 1925, Members of the Hoard of Education, that has stood back of our endeavors, and Teachers, grown so dear to us. through the brief and happy four years let us, as we say farewell, use the sweet old Biblical benediction. the Mizpah. “The Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from the other.” Dorothy Cartkr.

Ethel with his stately and beautiful wife (we know now what a fine looking matron Anna Louise Bean will become). Simmons announces that Ethel must marry Chester Binney, his business partner, amiable, hut uncouth. Ethel comes home from the city, in a car driven by a most elegant person, “of Chicago, and PARIS.” Roger Shields, correct in dress, and very French in manner. Mrs. Simmons is won immediately by the charms of Roger, but Father Simmons is obdurate, and proceeds to change the dubbv Chester from a grub into a butterfly. As Ethel says she must marry a man who has sown some wild oats, they plot to make Ethel believe, through the means of a photograph of a movie actress, that Chester has had a love affair. Then Mr. Simmons puts a tight collar on Chester, (really Heinie Neill, you know the clever rascal) and swanky clothes, telling him to his best. Letty Lvthe, the movie queen, (Eliza Stewart, of course, perfectly equal to the situation) and Letty Lythe’s fiance, the motion picture director, Donald Swift, are eager for Binney’s blood. Here is real trouble for Binney, but in the fight in the dark. Binney comes out triumphant. Ethel received a beauteous bouquet and deserved every rose, (Oneta Schafer, whose acting had real nerve in it). Charles E.

The man who writes a beautiful book feels his accomplishment wane into mere nothing as he sees the finish of a well run mile. The chemistry “ shark” stands pensive in his apparent utter uselessness watching a classmate turn defeat into victory on the gridiron. The magnate who knows not his wealth watches some lad of iron clout the hit that gets one, two, three runs besides his own. and fondly wonders what the chances are of trading places in life. Greece loved her athletes in the days of her glory and theirs. America adores hers now, for the Olympiads yield them trophies, and men have not forgotten their youth. A golden “C” on the breast of a Clinton man represents ambition, application and striving, even as honors in class. It means the overcoming of rainy days, bard falls, and a thousand other things, all incorporated in that unspeakable Jinx that roosts in the vicinity of every team that was ever built and used. The institution that hopes to interest Young America, yet foregoes athletics, is doomed already. For Nature shall never forget the thrill of physical prowess, in memory of those days when to be strongest was to be king. Page 79 0E 3t =]E -------ir=il — □t===3E 30 3BE 3 DC DC □ C DC PI——1C Coach, Kenneth Wilson The Clintonia Coach Wilson came here in the Fall of 1924 with a serious problem confronting him. He had only two letter men back for football and his task was to mold and form a team capable of maintaining the record of the school. He was successful in his work and before the season closed he had developed a team which was known for its fighting spirit in both offensive and defensive qualities. In basketball the same stupendous task faced him. Duesing and K. Wood were the only two sure prospects and Duesing did not become eligible until the second semester. To show the reputation that the team achieved it is only necessary to quote the words of the DeWitt County Tournament officials. “The scrappiest team in the state” and a team of fighting midgets. Coach Wilson has developed teams this year from green material, hut next year under his guidance and the experience of last year, we should have two of the best teams in the state. Robert Toombs, Ass’t. Coach Page 80 William Magill, Manager Maroa at Clinton W 'th only three letter men back this year, our new coach, Kenneth Wilson, was confronted with a very serious handicap. But notwithstanding this drawback. be has developed a small, fast and hard-hitting little outfit. Although we did not win all of our games this year that does not prove that the other teams had a very easy time in their victories. Most of the teams that we met were nearly always composed of veterans. But to take a brand new team of green, inexperienced players and expect them to play like veterans is something short of impossible. Next year we should have one of the smallest, hut fastest teams in the state. The first practice of the season was held on Wednesday night. September 3rd. About forty young hopefuls turned out to win a place on the Maroon and Gold team. Captain-Elect, Wm. Hamilton Captain Bianucci Page 81 1925 The Clintonia Complete new equipment had been purchased during the summer by the coach for a squad of fifteen men and this was distributed among the most likely members for the team. But as the coach said, “Just because you were issued these newr clothes, does not mean you are going to keep them, so let’s see you tight to do it.” On Thursday night. Henri Bianucci was elected captain, and started in at once to help the coach to make a perfect football machine before our first game. We now had a little over two weeks to get in shape. Everybody worked hard to do this. And we did! On Friday, September 19, Maroa came here for the first battle of the season. This game was originally intended for a practice game, but before it was over, it became a very spirited contest. Maroa came here with a heavy and experienced team and very confident of winning, but we showed them that fight also makes up a great part of football and succeeded in holding them 0-0. We were handicapped in this game because three of the regulars were out. McAboy, Callison and Wilson. McAboy was out with a broken wrist that would keep him out for a month or so. So with a fairly good sized crowd the game started. We w'ere within scoring distance several times, but Wilson lacked the old push to put the ball across. One of the features of this game was a thirty-five yard pass from Hamilton to Unk Woods that nearly resulted in a touchdown. Maroa_____________0 Clinton_____________0 We now had a week to get whipped into shape for the Farmer City game. This we did by setting up exercises, signal practice and scrimmage. So on Saturday, September 27th, we started out in cars for Farmer City. Clinton at Farmer City After a series of accidents to Langellier’s “uncovered Ford,” such as a blow out. in the ditch and our way lost, we finally arrived in Farmer City a few minutes before the game started. Farmer City presented a very strong team this year and was composed mostly of letter men. and our small team could not hold them. Although the old fight was still there, we went down to defeat—28-0. Capt. Bianucci won the toss and elected to kick. Wilson kicked off to Farmer City’s 10 yard line and Weedman, Farmer City star quarter back, ran the ball back to our 30 yard line. Farmer City then tried a series of line bucks that gained steadily through our line. Farmer City Huff was penalized for holding and forced to punt. Hamilton fumbled a sloppy punt and Farmer City fell on the ball. Weedman then took the ball across for their first score, by a series of line plays. He added an extra point by a place kick for goal. Wilson again kicked off for Clinton. Farmer City caught the ball on their Page 82 The Clintonia 1925 5 vard line and with perfect interference ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Clinton again kicked off. hut Farmer City fumbled the hall and Langellier fell on it on their 40 yard line. In the second quarter Bianucei repeatedly hit the line, hut could not gain. Wilson punted to Weedman who ran the hall hack to our 40 yard line. Farmer City kicked off to Langellier who ran the ball hack to cur 30 yard line. He then went around end for five yards, while Morse went around the other end for fifteen yards, making our only first down of the game. Two more end runs failed and Clinton kicked to Farmer City's 20 yard line. Callison had his hi] injured at this point of the game while a maiden fair on the side lines wept. Strange substitutes for Callison. Farmer City failed to gain and punted to Doak in the middle of the field. Clinton then opened up with passes, hut failed to complete any long ones. Clinton kicked and the third quarter ended. In the fourth quarter Farmer City opened up with passes, hut at first could not connect any. Hamilton intercepted one and ran about ten yards through a broken field. Farmer City then held Clinton for downs and we were forced to kick. Farmer Citv received the hall and seemed able to gain at will through our line. Weedman hit off tackle for another score and kicked goal. Clinton kicked off and Horr of Farmer City returned the hall to our 10 yard line, where Morse stopped him with a neat tackle. Our forward wall could not hold and Horr took the hall across for the fourth and last touchdown. Clinton again kicked off and after a few minutes of play the whistle sounded with the hall in Farmer City’s possession in the middle of the field. Farmer City-----------28 Clinton-----------0 Leroy at Clinton Leroy came next. It is pleasing to see girls taking interest in football. You especially, Gladys Williamson. Hoff kicked off for Clinton and the hall went over the goal line. Leroy failed to gain and punted. Morse ran the hall hack 10 yards, before he was stopped. Clinton fumbled in the first play and Leroy recovered the ball on our 40 yard line. Leroy made 8 yards around end, then first down through the line. They repeatedly pounded our line until they went across for their first touchdown. The try for goal was successful. Clinton again kicked off to Leroy. Again they started to march down the field and were not stopped until Barton broke through and threw them for a 10 yard loss. Our line strengthened and they were forced to kick. Clinton fumbled on an end run and a Leroy man recovered it and ran 20 cards before Hamilton broke through his interference and brought him down cvtih one of the neatest tackles of the year. □ G IQ Page 83 1925 The Clinton i a Strange Lerov hit the line, but failed to gain. They fumbled and Barton fell on the hall on our 10 yard line. Doak dashed around end hut was thrown for a loss. Clinton punted. Clinton broke up two passes for Leroy and they punted out of hounds on our 25 yard line. Capt. Bianucci gained 6 yards on a fake. Morse added six more. Two line plunges failed and Wilson punted to Leroy’s 40 yard line. Clinton again kicked off to Leroy at the start of the second hal f. Leroy punted. Clinton kicked on their first down, gaining 20 yards on exchange of punts. Our line held and Leroy was forced to kick again. Two line plunges failed for us and we punted. Capt. Bianucci spilled an end run for Leroy for no gain. Leroy hit off tackle for eight yards and through the center for four more. The line took a sudden brace and held. Leroy punted and Morse ran the ball back fifteen yards before he was stopped. The fourth quarter started with the hall in our possession. Doak was thrown for a loss on an end run. Clinton was penalized and failed to kick. Leroy seemed determined to score again for they went around end for nineteen yards through the line for five more. I hey made sixteen yards off tackles in two plunges. Ten more was added on an end run. This placed the hall on our 5 yard line. Leroy made four yards in three downs and slid across on the next play. The trv for goal failed. Lerov kicked off to Bianucci on our 30 yard line. A pass, Morse to Doak was incomplete. Morse passed again to Hamilton for a ten yard gain. Leroy’s line held and Wilson kicked. Leroy failed to gain and punted as the final whistle blew. Leroy---------------13 Clinton__________0 Champaign at Clinton Our next foe was Champaign. Although we were beaten bv an overwhelming score of f 0 to 0, we played one of the best games of the season. Champaign is rated as one of the best teams in the state and their fastness, heaviness and general ability completely bewildered our green and inexperienced team. Clinton kickd off to Champaign and for ten minutes we held them without a score. For a time it looked as though we would hold them, hut finally they pushed one over and then two more before the quarter closed. The second quarter opened with the hall in Champaign’s possession on their 20 yard line. This was our strongest quarter for we repeatedly held them and forced them to kick. It was a real battle and it looked as though Champaign would he scoreless this quarter, until a Champaign punt was fumbled. They recovered the ball and pushed across their only score of the second quarter. They kicked goal and the half ended. 27-0 in their favor. Barton Page 84 The Clintonia 1925 Champaign started the second half with their whole second team in the fray. With good and bad football along with a few breaks they succeeded in scoring two more touchdowns. They kicked goal for one more point and this quarter ended 40-0 against us. In the fourth quarter Champaign's first team re-entered the game and swamped us in an aerial attack that scored three more touchdowns before the game ended. Hamilton recovered a Champaign fumble and raced 40 yards before he was tackled. This was our only chance for a score, but he was too worn out. The game ended 60-0 in their favor. Hamilton and Barton showed up the best for us, while Hyland, Richman, Jameson and Wiley were Champaign’s outstanding players. Champaign_____________60 Clinton_______________0 Cmnton at Pekin Clinton kicked off and a Pekin hack ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown, but he was called back to the 40 yard line for being outside.

Langellier intercepted the next one and returned it ten yards as the final whistle blew. This was one of the best games and the hardest that Clinton played during the entire season.

Leroy--------------6 Clinton____________6 Clinton at Mahomet )n Thanksgiving we drove to Mahomet for a return game. It was the last game of the season. There were six Seniors who played their last football game for old C. H. S. They were: Ford, Wilson, Wood. Huff, Morse and Edmunds. In the opening period Mahomet kicked off to Clinton. From then on a battle royal took place. Neither side scored until Mahomet, late in the first quarter placed a neat place kick from the 30 foot'line, that put them three points in the lead. The second quarter was repetition of the first quarter. We would repeatedly hold them and force them to kick. While they in turn would hold us and force us to kick. It looked like both sides would be scoreless this quarter until a Mahomet pass carried the ball to our 20 yard line and after failing to gain through our line, dropped back and added three more points by another place kick. Clinton kicked off to Mahomet as the second half started. Again it was the same old fight on both sides. Neither side seriously threatening the other’s goal. Buck was with Mahomet for again a pass carried the ball close to our goal line. Failing to gain they drop] ed back for a place kick. The kick was wide, but a strong wind was blowing and barely blew the hall between the uprights, scoring three more points for Mahomet. 1 he ball was in Clinton’s possession as the fourth quarter started. This quarter was the most strongly contested of them all. Both sides were in scoring distance several times, but couldn't put the ball over, and the game ended in their favor. Page 92 □ Page 93 3C 199? Don Roles, one of the two Freshman finds of the year, played guard and forward for Coach Wilson’s team. Don has three more years to play for C. C. H. S. and he should prove a whiz. His best game was against Wapella, in the County Tournament. Unk Woods, the other great Freshman find, proved that he was Varsity material in the second Farmer City game, when he went in and pepped the team up to a win. Unk played center and guard and also has three more rears. Olkn Harton, although not a regular was one of the main reasons for the Clinton squad having such good reserves. Olen’s best game was against Waynesville. lie has two more years to play and in that time will be a very valuable man. Kenneth McAboy, “Macky” played guard for the Maroon and Gold. He played his best game against Leroy, making the opposing forward hustle all the way through. “Mac” has one more semester to play for the school. Charles Morse, “Chad” Morse had only got to play one semester, which was hard luck for Coach Wilson’s squad. “Chad” played his best in the Leroy game and finished his career at the end of the first semester. We wish him luck at any college he prefers. Page 94 nr--==ir= -ii 'ir=. ii 11 i[=n-- jE =ji il =11 in The Clintonia______________________1925 Carl DuEsing, “Dues” returned to the squad at the end of the first semester and as he was the only veteran on the team, the effect was noted at once. “Dues” was at his zenith at the tournament. Harry Jones, “Casey” Jones, when two points were needed, was the man for the job. “Casey” has one more semester to play for the Maroon and Gold. During the district tournament, “Casey” played the last half of one game with a sprained wrist. We admire his grit. Frank Taylor, “Shorty” Taylor, the largest man on the squad and also one of the best. “Shorty” could always he depended on to get the hall off the backboard and the Taylor to Hamilton combination scored many points for Clinton during the season. Frank is a Senior. Taylor played his best against Covington. Hurshkl Nichols, “Hurdy Nichols reported for duty at the end of the first semester. “Hurdy” made a valuable utility man for the squad. “Hurdy” looked best at Bement. “Hurdy” has two more years to play. Harry CangElliEr, Harry was one of the best forwards on the squad. Harry looked very good in the DeWitt County Tournament against Wapella, sinking baskets from all over the floor. Harry has one more year to play. Page 95 BF- =n H=-ll =11=llEU=di: Til--)C= |E= 1925 The Clintonia Clinton at Mahomet Coach Wilson was confronted with a more serious problem in basketball than lie was in football, with no letter men hack and three days to practice before our first game. So on December 12th, with a green, inexperienced team and no practice we drove to Mahomet for our first game. W'e surely showed our lack of practice and experience, for Mahomet swamped us, 53-9. We would repeatedly work the hall down under the basket and miss. It was the hard luck we carried with us all season—shoot and miss. Hamilton was the high point man for us with three baskets. Manuel, their football captain, was their high point man with thirty-seven points. Kenney at Clinton On December 16th. Kenney came here for the second battle of the season. Again our inability to hit the basket caused our downfall and we were defeated. 23-17. We were ahead until the final period, when Todd of Kenney sunk four long baskets that put them in the lead. Hamilton was the only one to score for Clinton, making the entire seventeen points for us, Lovington at Clinton We lost a heart-breaking game to Lovington on Friday the 19th. It was one of the fastest games we played during the season, hut they went home with a one point win. Throughout the game the score was tied. We would make a basket and Lovington would tie the score. With hut five seconds to play and the score tied 25-25— Lovington dropped in a free throw for the winning basket. Again Hamilton was high point man with thirteen points. Alumni vs. Clinton On December 23. we played our last game of the year with the Alumni. McClurg and Kirk were our downfall and the Alumni heat us, 21-13. The Alumni team was composed of practically all of last year's team. Even though they had not played together for some while, their team work and long shots heat us. Good work Alumni. Leroy at Clinton From Leroy on the 3rd of January, we won our first game. 16-14. Although we started the New Year out right, we were playing in the same old hard luck. It was Hamilton's off night, for he contributed only two baskets and one free throw. Don Roles, the scrappy Freshman guard, furnished the biggest thrill of the game by dribbling the entire length of the floor and sinking the winning basket. Meyers showed the best for Lerov with four baskets. Page 96 3E= =]C= E1I-—i=£]E The Clintonia 1925 Clinton at Bement The following Friday we played Bement on their own floor and came home with a 24-13 win, our second victory of the season. Everybody hut Capt. Wood scored, but it was a better game than the score indicates. The Hamilton-Tavlor combination worked for four baskets, while Roles added two baskets and Jones three. Taylor ran the score up six more points with his three neat jump shots. With more practice, experience and two victories to our credit we were confident of holding the sharpshooters from Mahomet on Saturday night to a lower score. Mahomet at Clinton Again we lost to Mahomet—in points—but not in fight. We were out lucked the entire game, but not out fought. Hamilton drew first blood when he took the tip off from Taylor and sunk a jump shot. Mahomet came back with two baskets that put them in the lead, which they retained during the rest of the game. Manuel, their star, who scored thirty-eight points from us in the first game, was held to eight baskets and three free throws. It was a fast game and the score was close until late in the last quarter, Mahomet’s abilitv to hit the hoop increased and they quickly drew away from us. beating us, 33-15. Clinton at Waynesville On January 23, we drove to Waynesville for a return game. Waynesville still held their jinx over us and defeated us, 30-17. Casey was out of their line-up. but Wikle and Dagley were too much for us. Each of them contributing five baskets apiece. Jam’s was high point man for us with four field goals and two free throws. Clinton at Bethany On Saturday night we drove to Bethany, but returned with a 37-19 defeat. It was a good, fast game and quite a few thrills were furnished. But their 6 ft. 4-inch back guard was a little too large for our diminutive forwards, thus decreasing our baskets. Jones was high point man for us with five baskets and two free throws. Farmer City at Clinton Farmer City came here on Friday, January 30, and gave us our second one point defeat of the season, beating us 31-30. The first part of the game was rather slow with Farmer City leading. With but four minutes to play and the score 31-18 in Farmer City’s favor we staged one of our famous comebacks, and sunk six baskets, but lacked one point for a tie when the final whistle blew. “Casey” Jones starred for Clinton, annexing twelve points in three quarters. Page 97 1925 The Clintonia DC Waynesville AT Cr.INTON Again Waynesville beat us on our own floor, 25-14, on February '6tb. Although the first team was beaten, the second team partly made up for this by giving the seconds of Waynesville a 26-14 heating. Taylor was out of the first team line-up and that probably is the reason for our low score. Langellier, Hamilton and Barton showed the best for us by contributing two baskets apiece. Wikle was Waynesville’s high point man with fifteen points. Clinton at Leroy Leroy heat us, 15-13 in our return game there on February 7th. After a muddy trip we finally arrived there. Taylor was out of the line-up and again we couldn’t get going. The score was tied and hut a few seconds to play, when Myers of Leroy slipped in the winning basket for them. Hamilton and Barton with two field goals apiece for us. Clinton at Kenney On the 26th of February, we went to Kenney to get revenge for our defeat at their hands during the first of the season. And we did ! Beating them. 26-9. Our team work was perfect. Time and again we would work the hall down for a basket. Coles guarded Todd so closely that he couldn’t get in any long shots and he made the only two field goals of the game. Duesing was high point man with five baskets. Weldon at Clinton On February 11th, we met Weldon on Wapella’s floor and came home with a 18-12 victory. Morse was lost to us by the nine semester ruling, while Duesing became eligible for the second semester. Duesing was largely responsible for our victory for he annexed five baskets. It was a good fast game. The teamwork of Hamilton, Duesing and Barton was perfect, hut as usual we had hard luck on jump shots and that kept the score down. Tilbury and Meredith did all of the scoring for Weldon. Clinton at Farmer City On February 17th. we met Farmer City on their own floor, and heat them, 20-17. This is one of the hardest things a team can do—heat Farmer City on their own floor. It has seldom been done, but we showed them that posts hold no disadvantages for us. It was a good, clean and fast game. At the half the score was 13-7 against us. Clinton came back in the second half with a new line-up that was so fast it swept Farmer City off their feet and we came home with a 20-17 victory. The Clintonia 1925 Clinton at Lovington Covington's long shots and good defense were the main cause for our 32-15 defeat. It was a fast game and Lovington did not have but a few points on us until the last quarter when they got so lucky they couldn’t miss. Our teamwork was perfect and we would work the ball down time after time, only to miss. Champaign at Clinton Champaign came here on Saturday, February 21. to beat us sixty points— so they said. But we nearly upset the old dope bucket and played them to a stand still until the last minute of play when Gamble of Champaign slipped in two field goals that won the game for them. It was one of the fastest and tightest games Clinton played during the season. The first quarter ended with the score tied, 7-7. The second quarter was a repetition of the first. We would score, then Champaign would. The half ended. 11-11. The third quarter was like the two proceeding ones, and it ended, 15-15. Champaign was still dazed by our long shots. The fourth quarter was the hardest of all. Neither side scored until the last minute when Champaign sunk two long baskets. Clinton at Weldon On Tuesday, the 24th, we played Weldon at Weldon. Weldon won one out ‘ of the three games we played them. Winning the last one 22-16. Weldon got the lead on us in the first few minutes and we were unable to catch up. The half ended 16-8 in their favor. We held them scoreless in the third quarter, but they came back in the fourth quarter and sunk six sleepers, while we were making three points. Danvers at Clinton Danvers came here on February 27th. for our last home game of the season, before the tournament. It was our last game of the season and we were determined to win—and we did, 33-26. Duesing and Taylor played their last game for us. Capt. Wood had been out of the line-up for the last two or three games and had played his last game. The game was good, clean, and fast. We were not ahead of them more than two or three points until the last quarter, when we drew away from them. It was a good start before the tournaments for we hit the basket from every angle of the floor and couldn’t miss. Duesing made seventeen points while Hamilton came out with his usual four baskets. ir =ir=- ir 1925 The C L I N T 0 N I A Basketball Scores Mahomet 53 Clinton 9 Kennev _ _ _ 23 Clinton - Lovington . _ 26 Clinton 9=1 Alunini _ _ __ _ 21 Clinton __ Lerov 14 Clinton Bement __ _ 13 Clinton 24 Mahomet __ 31 Clinton 1 T Waynesville - - 30 Clinton _ 17 Bethany _ 27 Clinton 10 Farmer Citv 31 Clinton tO Waynesville 25 Clinton _ . 14 Lerov 15 Clinton __ Weldon _ 12 Clinton _ 18 Bement _ _ 38 Clinton 17 Farmer City 17 Clinton 90 Lovington _ _ 32 Clinton Champaign 19 Clinton Weldon 99 Clinton 16 Kennev 9 Clinton __ 26 Danvers 26 Clinton __ _ Waynesville Clinton Firsts Clinton Seconds Kennev DkVVitt County Baskktbaix Tournament Waynesville : i Waynesville f ) Kenney f Wapella Weldon Wapella Farmer City Firsts 1 Farmer City Firsts Farmer City Seconds f Waynesville Champions I Farmer City Firsts Clinton Firsts Clinton Seconds Weldon Farmer City Seconds Page 100 } Clinton Firsts r eldon Kenney Wapella Clinton Firsts I Wapella Clinton Firsts Third Place □ E 1925 0E 30 The Clintonia DrWitt County Tournament The fourth annual DeWitt County Tournament was held in the Y.

Page 101 30 ii---------ir ii-----ir=ir -----nr 1925 The Clintonia ■ r=it=ir== General Review In reviewing the football and haskethall seasons—both of which were not a success from a financial standpoint or the number of games won—much can be said for the future of athletics in the school. This year six Seniors were lost from the football squad and only three from the basketball group. Next year, Clinton should rank among some of the best teams of the state, in these two sports. With nearly the whole football and basketball teams back, we have a very good start toward a high percentage of “wins” for next rear. In both football and basketball, we were handicapped this year. In football there were but three men back from last year’s team. A green and inexperienced team at the start of the season, it soon developed, toward the last, into one of the hardest hitting teams sent out from the school. After playing eleven games, the largest schedule ever played by this school, we had experience, confidence, and the ability to play football. ith not a letter man back in basketball and absolutely no men with experience at all. the team soon developed into one of the fastest teams in this part of the country. It was decided, after a few meetings, not to have either baseball or track. There was not much money in the athletic association, equipment would have had to be purchased and it was found advisable not to have any spring sports at all.

Many times the girls have entertained us with their music. They sang for the County Institute. The Daughters of Veterans, The Parent-Teachers’ Association, and some of our meetings. The Seniors of the club sang a number at Class Day. Much credit is due to them, for they have worked hard and have accomplished great results. 30 Page 107 1925 ===Jl=— ir=== The Clintonia The Ancient History Clubs At the first of the year, the Ancient History Classes organized three clubs, one in each of the classes. In each, a president and a secretary were elected to have charge of the meetings. The presidents appointed program committees to arrange the program, which consisted of topics on events both ancient and current. Some social affairs were also held by the clubs. These meetings have served well in increasing the interest and fellowship of the Ancient History Department. The Clinton Classical Club To stimulate interest in Latin, to further knowledge in Roman history and custom, and to broaden the social sphere of members. This is the purpose of the Classical Club. Its organization during the past year was under a novel plan following closely that of the old Roman Empire. The club had about forty members who were divided into three classes .the Plebeians, the Equites and the Senatores. The standing was determined by rank in the Latin classes. Mam-interesting meetings and parties were held, among them the most noticeable were the celebration of Virgil’s Birthday and Box Social. At the birthday celebration. Roman customs were shown. At the end of the meeting, a huge cake was served. Some of the pieces must have been quite small, for it seemed that several were required by some of the members to make the equivalent of one ordinary piece. The elections were of special interest, not only for the results, but because of the unusual mode of nomination and voting, with speeches in the “Forum” and the election carried on by “tribes.” The Classical Club is a live organization, and should have the interest of more students.

The following were the officers for the vear: President. Max Hull; Vice-President. Charles Wampler; Secretary-Treasurer. Raymond Sprague. During the year, luncheon meetings were held with classes in Bible study. The club stood for four C’s: Clean Sports. Clean Speech. Clean Lives, and Clean School. With such ideals, surely the Hi-Y should hold the interest of many boys of the school, and through them, our school could be greatly helped. Latin Week During the past year the Latin Week, contrary to previous custom was divided through the months of the year. The play, “A Roman Wedding” was given in January. It portrayed the Roman customs at the time of Cicero. The Latin banquet occurred in March. A number of students responded to toasts. Dr. C. W. Carter was the speaker of the evening. This was one of the biggest banquets ever held by the departments. Eighth Grade Day was held in May. Then the department entertained the eighth grades of the city, urging them to join the next year. An exhibition of posters was also held during May. Many clever and attractive posters were displayed. Latin Week is always of interest to the department and indeed to the whole school. The Boys’ Double Quartette It may be that the Boys’ Quartette is not widely known, but if you do not know about it, you must never have heard them sing, for they are not easily forgotten. The following are the members of the club: First Tenor Second Tenor Baritone Bass La Mar Nixon Samuel Griffin Max Hull Jack Ingham Rex McMillan Howell Barr Elywn Bolling Daniel Overleese It is hoped that this may be the beginning of a Boys’ Glee Club that some day may rival the girls’. The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club during the past year had a membership of about fifty students from the three upper classes. The meetings occurred on Wednesday evening after school.

This introduced music into the meetings, an enjoyable feature of any program. A study of painters and their work was also conducted. A number of plays were given, among which were: “Lima Beans, “When Love Was Young. “The Distinguished Service.” “The Rehearsal, “Upon the Waters” and “Ever Young.” These were all highly entertaining and clever. Dramatic talent has blossomed in unexpected places, and the interest in this club never lags. Only the future can tell how many Booths and Bernhardts will develop.

Is this radish seed or mustard seed ?” Mrs. Porter: “I think from all appearances it might 1)e grapenuts!” Harry L.: “Mvrtle, let me see your paper. I’m no judge of spices or the rest of these things.” Elizabeth McK.: “Time! I’ll read the names!” After reading the names she awards the prize. Elizabeth Me.: “On the largest sheet of paper, you are to tear a pig. The besj artist will win a prize.” Such a tearing of paper has never before been witnessed. Frank H.: “I left the tail off!” Max H.: “Put it back on!” Aud. M.: “Loan me your pig, somebody, so I can copy from it!” Helen V.: “Where’s the paste? My pig has only one ear! Elizabeth McK.: “Time! Pass your pigs to the judges. Miss Foote and Miss Marshall, who will give their final decision after looking over the pigs.” Miss Marshall, examining a pig, exclaims: “Oh! Reallv some of these peo- ple are REAL artists! They leave the feet. ears, and tail off of these poor dumb animals! We, the judges, award the prize to Vernelle Barr.” At this time, several girls enter with the refreshments consisting of ice cream with a green shamrock center, and dainty little cakes with a shamrock decorated on it made of icing.

Today the great explorer Banley Barter met his triumph. He has, after many days of work, gained entrance to the tomb of King Pupmaket, buried here about 1925 B. C. This king during his life was monarch of the land now called Illinois. His tomb shows that he was very wealthy, for many objects of value and interest have been found. Perhaps the most outstanding of these is the following document, found in the king's right hand. Translated from the original tongue, it reads: This is the prophecy of Ozarham Pepplendam, the king’s prophet. I see many things, Oh king, stretching down the roll of years before us. Oh king. I see a kingdom rich and prosperous. And I see in the halls of C. C. H. S.. a reception given the Class of 1925 by the Class of 1926. I see them in a hall, beautifully decorated in rainbow colors, with small tables set about, and favors wrought by the hands of the Juniors themselves. Oh king, I can see the hostess class giving a play to entertain their guests. 1 see musicians waiting, singers and other merry makers. Now it changes, and I see a dainty luncheon being served. I see the Seniors laugh and smile. They are happy, for they are enjoying the farewell reception to the Class of 1925. So, ladies fair and gentlemen, The year has run its course, The bell has rung, the curtain falls, We say. Good Night!” perforce.
