Though we're scattered by fortune the whole world over, Though the ties which unite us will sever, Yet the memories of days spent in old Clinton High Will remain in our hearts forever.

We started on our journey in September of 1924 with one hundred-four members. While we were on this journey, we elected our council: Gladys Williamson, Dorothy Fosnaugh, Catherine Burns, Louise Hall, Oliver Wood, Thomas Day, and Thomas Armstrong. Alden Vfilson served as our athletic representative. We, also, received the good news that our Freshmen class was well reprecented in athletics. At the close of the school year l925, we landed here on earth determined to go farther by the end of l926. ln September of l925, we again resumed our journey with the same pilot and mechanic, but with a different advisor. Under the supervison of Miss Marshall we elected our council and representative. Our social events con- sisted of a party and a picnic, after which We landed for the second time. We were all very anxious now to become juniors. ln September of l926 ninety-six Juniors came back to go still farther along the road of education We had just realized that we had become the possessors of a new mechanic that year. Mr. Robb from Colorado had agreed to come with us. With our same pilot, a new mehanic, and a different advisor we, the members of the Junior class, started on our way.. As we were given liberty, we elected a president who was as well qualified as George Washington himself-Ivan jenkins. Our vice-president was Evelyn Greeng our secretary, Hershel Cole: our treasurer, Rhea Gilliland. On this third at- tempt of our four years' journey the Junior class had four of its members on the basketball team, and seven members on the regular football squad. We were well represented in the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs as Well as in other school organizations. As we are nearing the end of our third attempt, juniors, let us all come back next year and be as successful, if not more so, than we have been in the past. At the close of our fourth journey let us go out into life with our minds clear and with an ambitionuto beat our own record of each day's task. - LUCILE ARMSTRONG.

That We entered as Freshmen with you to mix. We came in couples, and came in groups, And our talk resembled the gossip of a chicken coop. For better or worse we made few mistakes, Because sisters and brothers had told us to make no W'ith help of Miss Bulkley, our class advisor, We discovered ourselves growing older and wiser. To her, our friend, we offer our sincere thanks, Although upon her we did play many pranks. At her suggestion that we choose a council of five Xve chose several people who seemed much alive. Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, We had none of these so we chose instead A doctor, lawyer, merchant and chief Of whom much good can be said. Among us was found a doctor named Hooker Who some people said was not a bad looker, And he really was by some girls admired, I9Z7 breaks. Wllile Charles Musson, best lawyer in town, was by other girls desired. Now comes Hilda Williamson, who helps her dad advertise Not in actions but in quality and size. Please do not forget that Ruth Hull was our chief, And Lewis McClure, was a member of the Council, it is my belief. Sarah Elizabeth Murphy as our yell leader was chosen, For she made us yell 'till our throats felt frozen. Olin Barmer for the year was our athletic representative And he did his work just as it should be. Even though we were mere infants, they allowed us to have a party And there was great excitement-not one of us was tardy! Also during the year we went on a hike And had all the fun we could in one short night. Thus our Freshman year soon passed And vacation time came near But oh, how hard we worked, the last few days And then how we did cheer! ,mmmfmmwmw.iw.mmfmrHHmm:imuulmum Page Thirty-Two CLINTONIA 192 7 just one hundred one came back in September Some from the town, some from the timber. Although we find some think themselves superior to the rest ln reality, please remember, some are good, some better and some best. At our class meeting, a council of five was selected With Charles Griffin as chairman and in whom no fault has been detected. Next came two friends-Ruth Hull and Doris Scott Did l hear you say Just as I thought? Then came Charles Galbreath and Helen Costley And there you have two plus three Of which the Sophomore Concil is comprised, And now you may have a pleasant surprise- Lewis lVlcClure is our athletic representative And l think no one is more fit than he. ln basket ball we were represented by Charles Jones and Harvey Kring And considering them while Sophomores as Seniors won't they be the thing? ln football we had a cheerful hero, Bennie Watt, Whom we all liked, an awful lot. You may easily find us in Classical Club ln Glee Club and other activities too Now may l ask you, how much more we might do? On the Nlargol Staff you will Find Grace Williams and Lewis McClure. We always try to choose the best, of this you may be sure. ln the gymnasium at our Halloween party Mr. Smith, as a clown, made us laugh so hearty That when we were told it was time to go home We Sophomores didn't even think of an ice cream cone. At our coasting party everyone had cold feet But they didn't hinder us when we began to eat. We thank Dorothy Farnsworth's Dad for the radio we heard while we dined For the program was entertaining and the music certainly fine. We planned to have a skating party but the weather spoiled our fun But we will have it yet and we expect the Sophomores each and every one. Now our second year in high school is just about to close And we want to thank Miss Marshall, our teachers, friends and beaux For all each one has done for us to make this whole long year One of such pleasure and of so much good cheer.

In fact we were divided into so many different groups and were scattered in so many places over the building that the upper classmen thought it was St. Patrick's Day. All of the one hundred and forty-five were able to find their right classes without much difficulty. i After a time some members were gradually admitted in Glee Clubs, Orchestra, Latin Clubs, Athletics, and other various organizations. Mrs. Edmiston organized a Freshmen Girls' Glee Club for the first time. It consisted of about twenty-five members. Greatly to the surprise of the upper classmen, we managed to have fifteen or more on the Honor Roll each month. ln a short time we were organized and elected Lois Hull, Harriet Reeser, Georgia Edwards, Ruth Ingham, and Homer Gash for our Council. George lngham was chosen Athletic Representative. Miss Bulkley is our advisor. At the beginning of the second semester, in February, there were about twenty-five new members added to our enrollment. All of the Freshmen have aided in giving programs for the assemblies. Some of the various programs were, The Baby Show, HA Scene At War, An Old Fashioned Country School, and other well developed plays. On the evening of Friday, May sixth the Freshmen gave a party in the high school gymnasium. Quite a large number attended, every one was full of pep and all had lots of fun. A short program was given after which we played games, and light refreshments were then served. After completing our Freshman year we feel we have performed our duty in helping this year be a successful one for the Clinton Community High School. - FLoY PARKER.

H 'f' SALUTATORY WINIFRED WEEDMAN Friends: The class of '27 bids you welcome to our Class Day. You have come to see our class, to smile upon us, and to wish us happiness. You have watched our steps from childhood, have striven to in- still within us knowledge, service, gratitude, every factor which builds and beautifies the character. Yet the smile is not alone symbolic of your emo- tions. As we come and go before you today, your smiles will cover your tears. You realize that our bonds of intimate relationship as classmates are severed, that our preparatory days have passed, and that we are at last step- ping upon the Threshold of Life. We are now one of you. Together we shall work side by side in l..ife's duties, work for the schools, the nations, and C-ocl. You clasp our hands with renewed friendship, and quickly wipe away your tears. Members of the Board of Education and Teachers: We wish to express our appreciation for the earnest efforts you have extended in our behalf. Your co-operation has helped us to make a success of our four years of work and play. Classmates: This is the last time that we shall be together in old C. C. H. S. As one by one we stand before our friends today, let us show how glad we are for our blessings of Life. Let each of us always remain a true friend to one another, remember the happy companionship of our High School days, and forget not our class motto: Simplicity, Sincerity, and Service. 'PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Classmates, Teachers, and Friends: We, the class of '27, entered the halls of old C .C. l-l. S. four years ago. Some of us were taking the final step before entering the career we set as our life's work. Others came for a preparatory course before going to a college or university. All of us have secured the utmost co-operation from those who have taught us, and we are grateful. We were fortunate in our Sophomore and Junior years to have as principal Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward's high-minded and honest opinion of every- thing helped to make those two years one of the most successful periods of old C. C. H. S. During our final year we have been led by a man who has been more than a principal. l-le has been principal, advisor and friend. He has entered into all of our activities as one of us. ln the short time lVlr. Robb has been with us he has gained the conhdence and trust of all. Tomorrow we go forth to fill our place in the world, taking with us memories of the four happy years spent here together, and the lessons, not necessarily the lessons from the books, but the lessons we have seen illustrat- ed by the teamwork and patience of our advisors, will help us no matter what path we take or where we may be. We have selected as our class motto this year, Simplicity, Sincerity, and Service. This motto we can carry wherever we go, in the home, in our social life, and to our business. Let us strive to gain Simplicity in all our actions, Sincerity in everything we do and be of Service to God, our country, and our fellow men.

I remembered Madam Octave's won- derful crystal. She says that SOME. people, if they go about it in the right way, can look into the crystal and see pictures which answer their questions. I have a feeling that I am one of those few people who have the gift. At any rate I borrowed her crystal, and now I am going to see if it works. Let's see, first, you ask the question. WHAT WILL THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS BE DOING FIFTEEN YEARS FROM NOW? Why, there is Junior McClure sitting at a big desk. He seems to have something to do with ships. Oh I see! He is Secretary of the Navy. Who is this? Why its Tudy Whalen looking at a newspaper which savs in big letters, WINIFRED WHALEN. FAMOUS HUMORIST AT SUM' MER RESORT. Yes, it must be true. She is nodding her head. There is Harold Williams. He seems to be a shoe salesman. But there-He is also a devoted husband. Elizabeth Boyd makes a model wife, as I knew she would. This is aistage all lighted up with colored lights. There are two girls dancing and singing. Why, it is Orla and Audrey Mcllvenna. They are as good as the Duncan sisters. Here is a large building of some kind. Little children are playing all around the lawn. Oh! I see. It says ORPHANS HOME. But what on earth is Helen Sutton doing there? She must be the superintendent. She looks as if she had known a great sorrow. What a dainty little tea room and there-well, if it isn't Lena Ander- son with that tray! It must be too early for her waiters, so she is waiting on her patrons herself. And there is Dale Ward sitting over in the corner read- ing a paper. Who would have thought that they would ever make a match. Dale has gone out now. He is across the street, and is unlocking a store which has a sign saying All kinds of Fishing Tackle. That is the natural result of his favorite expression, I'll bite. I see Garel Bales in a private office. He is a literary critic. Outside in a smaller office is his stenographer, Evelyn Lamson. This looks like an operating room. It is, and there is Helen Hanson in a white uniform. My goodness! It is a cat and dog hospital. Now I see a store front above which is painted Cuke's Confection- eryf' There is Virginia, herself, taking life easy while she bosses the job. This must be a ranch. All I see is great pastures with cows in them -and yes, there are some cowboys. They are coming nearer. Why, they aren't boys at all. It is Barbara Phares and Alice Wilson dressed in cowboy togs. I remember now, they WERE going to live on a ranch and spend their spare moments in writing. I see Merna Mclntyre clad in a bathing suit. She is accepting a lov- ing cup for a prize winning swim. Why, there's the White House, and going toward it, surrounded by a body guard, is a tall man wearing a silk topper. It's John Marcellus. He is an- other one of those graceful, dignified Presidents. Inside, in an office, sits Golda Tabor, his private secretary. She is busy at the typewriter.

Here is another stage. Kenneth Wade is acting as Hamlet in the play of that name. l always knew he would be a success as an actor. There is Vere Vlfagstaff playing before a large audience. She is en- grossed in her music, and as her fingers wander over the keys, her face shows varying emotions. What are those white spots? They are chickens, and that is Zelma Hidden feeding them. l guess she has given up teaching and is running a poultry farm. What a wonderful gift shop. And the girl who is arranging the toys --my goodness! lt's ME. l've grown so fat l hardly knew myself. Oh, there is Frances Melvin. She must be a missionary, because it looks like a tropical country, and l can see some dark skinned people all around her. My, what a demure little woman she has grown to be. What on earth is William Cole doing? I do believe that he is an Evangelist. He certainly knows how to do it, judging by the expressions on the faces of those nearest the front. And there is Loreen Jones, poring over a book of Sacred Songs. She mutt be a great help to Bill in his work. Now l believe in miracles. There's timid little Evelyn Lakin grown brave at last. She is feeding a pet alligator on her alligator farm in Caifornia. Bravo! Evelyn! l see Blye Roberts seated at a pipe organ. Evidently he is realizing his secret ambition. l see Kenneth Sigler looking out of the window of a grocery store. But he is no longer a mere clerk, for his name is in big letters outside. La Von St. John must be a society woman. She is riding in an .ex- pensive limousine, and Oh! Those clothes. She certainly picks good looking chauffeurs. There's Evelyn Helm, demure and dainty behind the counter of an exclusive candy shop. She always did have a sweet tooth. just look at Dorothy Blue write shorthand in her notebook. She is at the scene of an accident and is reporting it for the Chicago Tribune. Here's someone else in a bathing suit. Ruth Ely. She is having a big blue ribbon pinned on. She evidently has won first place in a bathing beauty contest. I And there is Ruby, too. She has a pencil in her hand, and seems to be putting the finishing touches on a sketch which certainly looks as if it would bring in the money. I believe that is Louise Grimsley, though l can hardly see her face. She is very busy writing. l see an open book beside her with a short-story written by her. That must be what she's doing now. There's Alice lngham feeding chickens. She has a bucket of eggs. By the looks of her face she must love the farm. l see Alta Jenkins posing before a camera. The man beside it waved his hand and Alta is looking very much frightened. A superb piece of act- ing, l would say. l certainly never thought of Alta being in the movies. Here's Donald Miller coming home after a hard day's work. He is al- most running as he goes through the gate. Oh Gee! He was halfway up the path. when the door flew open, and now his little wife is rushing to meet him. Who do you suppose she is? It is no one else but Rena Goin, who always swore that she would be an old maid. Now I see a ship driving through a stormy sea, and a moody, restless man is striding back and forth across the deck. It is Olen Barton. He has U vw '---v--' -1.1-,1inumH1N1-mm1I1I11mm1.1inwwwmmm-H-my-1,mm111Hmm.rr.1.1...Aw11H1r.mm1I1H1.mmr.1rI1inmm:wmummmi11mum111Inmumw11Inmuminu1mm...i..i..i--in1HinummmV11mumwmmmmmmn.. CLINTONIA 192 7 been disappointed in a love affair, l think, and has gone off to discover a new continent. Why there is Emily Caldwell in the Ziegfeld Follies. She certainly can dance, too. What's this l see. lt's a newspaper, but-Oh! l see! There is a whole column written by Alfred Cooley. lt is answers to questions on correct English. l-le always was good at answering questions in English. l guess that this is Elizabeth Rundle. She has flour on her face and a spot of butter on her arm, but she certainly looks happy. Yes, she is working in her own pastry shop. Edna Gideon is conducting a private dancing school. l can see her patiently showing a small boy how to take a certain step. There is Mildred Garmire and lna Strange roaming around among the ruins of an old city. They seem to have met quite by accident, and have not seen each other for sometime,because they are doing more talking than looking. There! They passed a statue right up and didn't even see it. They must be telling each other all the news. Well there's Otis Nicholson in a garden. l-le has gone in for truck farming. l guess he never lost interest in that Post Graduate girl of his 'be- cause 1 can see her working in the kitchen nearby. William lVlagill is a sport reporter for a New York paper. l see him dictating his notes to a Dictaphone, where the stenographer will go to get the material. Can you imagine Nodene Brittin making garden? Well that's ex- actly what she is doing. Oh! l know how it happens. lt's her own backyard in Paris, lllinois. She is a permanent resident there now. Esther Coppenbarger seems to be teaching Botany in a large college. She must be a widow, since she is in black. l see Albion lVlerriell looking through bars on a window. No, he isn't in jail. l-le is in a bank. There is Correnne lVlcAboy ringing the doorbell at a large house. Now a maid has admitted her and she has taken her to a library, where she drops a calling card on the tray. Oh! l see! That card says lVlrs. Correnne lVlerriell. Albion has certainly made some money. l can see Merritt lVloffitt driving around in a big car. l guess that he is an automobile salesman. He looks prosperous, so he must be able to sell a car to almost anyone. ls that Anna Gail Wilson? Whoever it may be, she certainly makes a good model for a Paris designer. Why, it is Anna Gail, and that is exactly what she is doing. My, she certainly has become slender.. l see Helen Hoyt dressed in a gaudy outfit, going through all sorts of funny motions. She is teaching an elephant to do stunts. She must be having a terrible time for she stamps her feet and waves her hands. l guess she is in the circus. Well for l-leaven's sakes! Wonder what Winnie May Weedman is trying to do now? She is typing and she is Working the keys so fast, that they must be hot, because there are two electric fans running, and l can al- most see heat waves rising from the machine. She certainly ought to make some record. Well, l can't see anything else so that must be all. l must hurry and tell the Seniors what their fates are going to be. lVly, won't some of the girls be disappointed because they are going to be old maids?

CSEALJ CLASS OF l927 Attorney at Law Winifred Whalen .q....:.n....,I.1,,,-. CLASS HISTORY ln September, l923, we boarded the ship, ignorance, with our passports-which we had secured through our eight years of elementary work-and set forth to conquer the Sea of Knowledge. During our first year, our headquarters were Greenland, we were represented in athletics by l-lurshel Nichols, Paul Keeling and Olen Barton. At our first meeting, under the supervision of Pilot Sawyer, we elected our crew consisting of Frances lVlelvin, Winifred Weedman, Emison lVlcClure, Corenne lVlcAboy, Paul Keeling, and La Von St. John, with William Magill as our athletic representative. The crew and the Pilot planned a picnic. We stopped at Violet Valley, where the picnic was held. As this, our Hrst social function, was a success, we are proud of ourselves. After a nine months voyage, we were granted a three months leave-of-absence. Again in September, we boarded our ship, Ignorance The sea of Knowledge seemed to be slowly covering the ship, for there was more knowledge than ignorance shown this year. Our headquarters our second year were in Rome and other ancient cities. Under the command of a new crew, consisting of Alice Wilson, Em- ison McClure, Olen Barton, Ruby Ely, and William Doak, and a new pilot, Miss Marshall, we were steered to a landing where a Wiener roast was held. This party was such a success that a steak fry was held at Weldon Springs. Even though most of the steak was very rare, everyone enjoyed it very much. At the end of this cruise, we were again granted a three months leave of absence and we left the boat in late May. After our three months' leave, we set sail for our headquarters in early America. This year we were to sail in a new ship. This vessel, some- what smaller than the old one, retained the name given the old ship, Ignorance We were given the lower deck while the passengers of the Ship of '26 were given the upper deck. We met every day at a general assembly of the passengers from l0:l5 to l0:35. Under the supervision of Captain Ross, we elected the following people to guide us through the third year: Emison McClure, First Mate, Alice Wilson, Second Mate, and Barbara Phares and Corenne lVlcAboy, Pursers. At a backward party, which we held, the First Mate was mysteriously kidnapped-thought to have been taken by some of the pirates of the Ship of '26 -and returned to us in a very disheveled condition. The Junior-Senior reception, the biggest and most important event of our third year, was held in the gymnasium of the Ship. The gym. was dec- orated to resemble a carnival. A program consisted of a Clown Act, by Blye Roberts, Winifred Weedman, Harold Williams and Barbara Pharesg a play entitled Station Y. Y. Y. Y. given by the Juniors, and a Charleston Dance .,.,. Page Forty-Eight CLINTONIA 192 7 by the Covington Brothers. After this reception we again anchored for our annual leave-of-absence. We returned at the end of the three months and embarked for our last year at sea with our headquarters in early England. This last year was very different from the rest-it was much shorter. We were given possession of the upper deck and under the supervision of Captain Scott, we agafn elected officers. Emison lVlcClure was again elected First Mate as was Alice Wilson elected Second Mate: Dortha Mel-laney and Corenne lVlcAboy were elected Pursers. As it was believed that the saying, All work and no play makes jack a dull boy was truthfully said, the passengers were divided into three groups with Blye Roberts, Louise Cirimsley and Winifred Weedman as lead- ers. Each group was to meet each Monday during the assembly period. On Wednesday one of the groups presented some form of entertainment for the class. Four passengers of the ship, Ulgnoranceng two passengers each from the ships of '28 and '29 and one passenger from the ship of '30 were appoint- ed to have charge of the publication of the first school paper-the Nlargol. The Margol was published every two weeks and was quite successful for its first year. Then, a most memorable Fight occurred-a fight for the Clintonia. Unless the Staff could get 300 subscribers the book was not to be published. We compromised by agreeing to publish a smaller book of the standard quality but with fewer pages. This, our last year, is one year whose memory will linger with us forever. We saw the truth-that we had not conquered the Sea of Knowl- edge as we had hoped to-but the sea had conquered us- ignorance was sinking to be seen no more. Although there is no reason for our staying here, we leave this ship with reluctance and the hope that we shall be gone but not forgotten. V ZELMA HIDDEN. SENIOR CHARGE Dear Juniors, the class of '28, for the past few years, we the class of '27, have been with you in times of sorrow and happiness, trying to guide your footsteps towards success. Because we are leaving you it is fitting that we point out to you your most prominent faults. lt is our desire to improve your character and intentions so that you will keep the colors of C. C. H. S. just as high, if not higher, than they have been placed by us. Juniors, please excuse me a few seconds while l speak to the under- classmen. Sophomores and Freshmen, as you are located in an entirely dif- ferent building, it would have been difficult for us to improve your stand- ards. But we the class of '27 bid you great success and much happiness, for we know that if you struggle as honorable students you will in time take the places which we, as Seniors, have occupied. Now, Juniors, next year you will be the honorable Seniors, who are the superior classmen in all high school activities, no matter what they may be. juniors, before you qualify as Seniors you must provide for a place of safe keeping for your habits which we have found to be nuisances. You must also be able to tackle the problems which face you, as men and women. lf you wish to become prominent as a class of Seniors from C. C. H. S. you must elect capable officers for those places. You turned out to be numb-skulls when you elected lvan Jenkins for your executive. lf you had --'-I--.mmmum--inIvINmuummmumnummumnmmummmunmmnmnnm.mmmm I.iniinmm.inInmm..ui.ImmmI.1Inimm..Hiin1I1mmm-if.1iummV.i1I1umm1mm.mm.W.,i-ri ---I--fum-I-., w.m-.wml-n- Page Forty-Nine Hmm...IinlmimniH.mmmu1.mmmwHmwmmmimmuuminun1In:mmmummmuummmuin.ummmiHnwmmm:11immminimmmmimmmn.unmmumummmHummm.ummmum-ummmmmm'.munmmmmmn known him as well as I did you would have been juniors without a president, for I clon't believe that you have a member in your class capable of such a strenuous task. Why didn't you elect a president of ability as we did? I-Ie could have been the president of the United States if he were over thirty-five years of age. At that rate I think that before you, the Juniors, leave this building, you will be old enough to be the presidents of our great nation. I also think by that time you will have judgment enough to take a salary of 575,000 when it is handed to you. Your class made a fair showing in basketball and other forms of athletics in our schoolg I might also add that your players who struggled so hard to become stars and also keep their names on the eligibility list are typical of your class, Ustrong backs and weak minds. You were not loyal to your players-how many of you attended the games? Our class was always one- hundred per cent in supporting our three stars, McClure, Marcellus, and Barton. I am inclined to call the whole lot of you slackers. Which class sold the most Margols, who named the Margol? This proves that you cannot stand in the same ranks where we stand. Why don't you christen your class Margol in memory of one of the most accomplished classes of C. C. H. S., the class of '27? Your symbol of brillance is Kirby Todd, but Kirby, I would like to tell you that you are typical of a hard working and a great old soul. But you should have been a member of some sorority. Bill Griffin, can't you can your noise so that it could be opened on the Fourth of july? Frederick Primmer. I am constantly impressed by something dove- like about you-you are so pigeon-toed. We admit that Kenneth Morrow is a good mathematician, he dis- covered that the distance between his ears was only one block, the Hrst day he took geometry. Mary O'Brien says she is going to drive something better than her Old Ford when she becomes a Senior. From that we figure that she will drive a horse and buggy. Keith Rhea, your judgment is very poor. From an airplane any Senior would have known that that pearl necklace lying on the ground was the Great Lakes. Juniors, my time is short. I hope those whose faults I did not point out will be able to see from the rest what they can do to become first class Seniors. I hope that those who are able to wear the shoe will be courteous enough to do so. V Juniors, the class of '27 must leave you. We hate to go but that imaginary voice is beckoning us to proceed onward. We have tried to be like brothers and sisters to youg you will, as humans, miss us. Juniors, admit that it will be hard to find another class which you will be able to enjoy so much as you did ours, the class of '2 7. As a final word I would like to quote the words of Oliver Holmes. It doesn't matter so much in the place you stand, as it does in which direction you are moving. I trust you will carry those words in mind as long as you live. They will always guide you successfully. juniors, the most .ouching moment has comeg give me your hands. The class of '27 bids you farewellfwishing you a great future, with hopes that you will remember the happy days we once spent together. mmvmvluunmm mumimwrmii ,ummm lm1IiHimmiinI.imlm1HrvinumIHI1imm1ummrmmmwmumuiumummmmmrmmumnwmm Page Fifty CLINTONIA 192 7 JUNIOR RESPONSE Class of '2 7: One would think that after sleeping for four years, you would begin to open your eyes, but we find you as dull as ever. ln several instances you have proved to me that you were dreaming, at times even suffering from nightmare. lt was, indeed, a very strong nightmare that struck you when you conceived the idea that Sheik McClure would make a leader for your class. Yes, Mr. McClure is that playful little fellow who acts as your class president. If you will notice when Emison wants to appear very important, he signs his name Emison O. McClure, Jr.g but when he feels a little smaller than usual, he signs his name Emison McClure. Now there is something queer about that middle name starting with O. Very few people have seen or heard that middle name, and l have heard very strong hints concerning his inability to spell it. But at this time l feel that l must congratulate Mr. Cole for the brave attempt in his charge, considering that his ideas were all based on dreams. ln the first place l shall have to explain the superiority of the class of '28 in that old, but important matter of athletics. Although l am not con- vinced that you can comprehend intelligently the great importance of the juniors in athletics, I shall endeavor, nevertheless, to force the proof on you in such away that our superiority will be respected without the slightest doubt. Let us consider the team that represented old C. H. S. on the grid- iron. Seniors, how did you like that Junior backfield, composed of Woods Karr, Henson, and Day? Do you realize that every time any scoring was clone that a Junior did it? The Juniors not only formed the backfield, but they furnished such reliable men as Nicholson, Wilson, and Mills for the line. You undoubtedly boast that Barton is a four year football man, but we have Woods, who is not a four year football man for the simple reason that he has been in school only three years. Basketball finds the Juniors doing even better. Clinton High as you know, or should know, produced one of the fastest teams in the state this year. The outstanding fact was that four of that invincible quintet were Juniors. The athletes came to the Class of '28 for a basketball captain, and they found a good one in Captain Woods. I hardly need to mention the all- star work of Henson, Karr, and Wilson. Oh, Seniors, when the proper amount of honor is given to the Juniors for their ability in atheltics, not much glory is left for you. l think that you will find Junior supremacy prevailing in any school activity that you can mention. You are inferior either in quality or quantity to the class of '28, in the percentage of members in the Clee Clubs, Orchestra, G. A. A.'s, Classical Club, or in any organization promoting the general wel- fare of the school. Seniors, if you are asked which class in old C. H. S. is supreme, the only truthful answer you can give is, lt's Juniors here, it's Juniors there, it's Juniors, Juniors everywhere. It would scarcely do not to mention the brilliant orators of your class. At the top of your list you should have Barbara Phares and William Nlagill. Almost every afternon at three o'clock, Mr. lcenogle's Modern History Class is held spellbound by the flow of silvery strains of oratory, so masterful that every member of the class could easily go to sleep. At length, however, Bill, fearing that he will not win the argument loudly exclairns, Barbara 'll'lllllllllllllllln'lllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllullllIIIIIYIIIIIIIIIYIIII1IIIIlllllll-III!!IINIINIIIIIIIIIIH1YIUIHYIIYIUIILIHIP IYII YYYYI4HWVUllWllllWllYllYIYllYHHIKHIVNHNHYI1lIWW1IIHIHUKUIHIHIHIN PIWIWN VMI lwli N rli'Y HUVIH H INYINWYNl.1N'i1.1i'-1ii1i vii' HHH wuiln Page Fifty-One CLINTONIA I 92 7 should have been twins! Then Mr. lcenogle calls time, and the passionate orators relapse into an exhausted, meditative mood. Laying all jokes aside, Seniors, l hope you will not feel offended at anything l have said, for it is not our policy to create enemies. It is with sin- cere regret that We realize the classes of '27 and '28 will never enter these halls as schoolmates again. It will be only through continued and concentrat- ed effort that we can hope to attain those standards you have set. IVAN JENKINS, VALEDICTORY Honored Board of Education, Teachers, Classmates and Friends: For four years we have been together. Everything that we have done has been with a purpose as all activities in life should be. Surely in these closing moments it is fitting to endeavor to stamp indelibly upon you as individuals that our four years together have not been in vain. Now we are standing upon the threshold of life--during the ref mainder of our lives there is a definite accomplishment for all of us to realize: it is the fulfilling of the program which from the first we started out to do. The ultimate success of it depends upon each one of us working throughout to the very end, with a definite purpose of our own, having willingly and gladly accepted the responsibility to do our share toward its fulfillment- and that program is life. An individual is like a tree. From year to year it grows in symmetry and beauty of form. Let us compare our lives with that of the stately oak- the king of the trees. At first.when it is young and tender, it is sheltered- growing slowly and with infinite care, forming its roots. When they are form- ed, no longer do the mighty winds tear its roots from their firm footing. Gradually, it becomes older, stronger, straighter and truer. It lifts its head and throws out its strong arms to the sun. It can no longer be changed- growing as it has-so straight-so strong-so true. As we grow older, the beauty of friendship and the dawning of the appreciation of knowledge has awakened in us a sense of the worth of life. Especially in our high school days we have begun to realize the beauty of friendship with people-the worth of service and the illimitable field knowledge opens to us. Each friend, whether comrade, teacher, father or mother. has left some marking in the grain of our lives to make it more beau- tiful. Some mark, which all the ravages of time and trouble can never entirely destroy. Let us say, To me has been entrusted a responsibility-I have accepted it, and l will keep the faith. . .... ........, Page Fifty-Two CLINTONIA 192 7 ...umHilmm.w.rH...mi.1Hwmminilmm.1.1.11HumHw1-uimm..H1ImumwHinHmm1.i1.rmm.,..,.H.-umm, ,..w.-1-Wi. .r.H.,..H.H.,.,,,,v,,.,,,,,,,.w,,,WWi.1i.ir.,ivw..ini1.ir.1.mmiH1V.imlm.i..H1-iv..,.,iN.-r,.H.,,.,,.,.. W The fulfillment of our purpose needs the acceptance, willingly and gladly on the part of each of us, the responsibility to do our share. As time consumes the days, this bit of philosophy may l:e helpful to you on your journey through life. For just remember that- Yesterclay is lost to me, Except for what l may Have done, while it is on its way, To help me live today. Today, then, l must treasure wellg For ere its course is run, There must be something l have done To greet tomorrow's sun. Tomorrow is not mine to have And play with as l may, But l can make it grave or gay By what l do today. Let us each then have a definite purpose, and through all the yester- days, the todays, and the tomorrows of the remainder of our lives, may we ever hold this ideal before us, and before God and man may we say, To me was entrusted a responsibility-l have fulfilled it, for l have kept the faith. ALICE WILSON. CLASS POEM l saw a meteor in the night Flash through the midnight sky, l saw it illumine the darkened air, And then, l saw it die. l saw a soul born into the world, Strong and sparkling and free, l saw it live, then pass from sight.

This was Weldon's second game and they were a little more experienced but could not over come the team work of Clinton. Clinton vs. Leroy Rain, and muddy field, seemed to be the Clintonites' worst trouble. lt looked for a while that LeRoy might win. With the whole Clinton team working together, Woods was able to go over with a touch-down, ending the game by a 6-6 score. Page Fifty-Six CLINTONIA I9 27 Clinton vs. St. Mary's C'inton's Second Annual Home Coming This was one of the most thrilling games of the season. St. lVlary's was rated as one of the best teams in Central lllinois. St. lVlary's was fortunate enough to get the ball down to their M yard line twice, but was not fortunate enough to put it across. Clinton tried twice for a field goal but did not succeed in getting them. The game ending 0-0. Clinton vs. Pana Clinton Went to Pana, only to be defeated by the Pana giants, 27-7. Clinton did not give up, however, and succeeded in geling a touch down and the goal for the extra point, while Pana succeeded in getting 27 points to their credit. Clinton should be proud of their team, even if they did lose, for they were one of two teams that scored against Pana. Clinton vs. Farmer City Clinton went to Farmer City and defeated them 24-0. It looked as though they might have been out seeking revenge for the Pana game. Clinton vs. U. High U. High played at Clinton's Home Coming last year, and was defeat- ed 3-0. Clinton was invited to play at their Home Coming this year and was defeated by a l l-0 score. It looked as if U. High might have been out for revenge. It had rained the night before, which hindered the playing ability of the boys to some degree. Two more games were scheduled for this season, one with lVlaroa the other with Taylorville. lVlaroa's team was disbanded just before they were to play us. Taylorville cancelled their game on of these games were looked on as being good games. Season's Score account of rain.

From the opening whistle at Mt. Pulaski to the last whistle at Bloomington, it was apparent that Clinton was represented by the best team in years. At the very outset it was plain that the team possess- ed unusually strong offensive strength, but there were some misgivings as to how the defensive end would show up against a powerful team. However, as the season wore on, it became apparent that there was no need to fear on this account. Coach Wilson developed what is probably the best balanced tcam that has represented Clinton in basket ball. There was not one who could be termed as an outstanding starg every man was dangerous when given a fair open shot at the basket and every one could carry his part of the defense. ln the first part of the season, a fast, quick breaking offense was used with the long and short pass system and as a result high scores were run up. About the middle of the season, a change was made and the stalling Page Fifty-Eight CLINTONIA 192 7 offense was developed. This was a type of game which was new to basket ball followers in Clinton and therefore they did not appreciate the strategy of this system and it appeared that the team was slumping, however, this was due to the different type of play being used, as large scores continued to be marked up against all opponents. With the regular line of Captain Woods and Henson at forwards, Coach Wilson presented two forwards who were the equal of any in this part of the state in marking up counters. Wilson at center completed the trio. He was just the type for the center position as there were few times during the season when he did not secure the tip-off and also was a good man to follow up shots. Day, sub-forward, and Barton, sub-center, were two relief men who could be counted upon at all times to come through in the pinches and at times it was difficult to determine whether the regulars or the subs were the best choices to fill the forward and center positions. Karr and McClure in the guard positions completed the quintet. lt would be hard to find two men better suited for their positions. McClure was the most consistent player on the squad. To those who closely followed the tournament at Decatur, he appeared to be the best back guard of the tournament and should have had a place on the All Star selections. Karr is perhaps the most deceptive man who has played on a Clinton team and seems to have the born ability to know just when to go down on offense and when to stay back on defense. Nicholson made an excellent relief guard and was used often. Marcellus also made an excellent relief guard. With the loss of but three men from a squad of ten, Clinton should have a team next year which will be contenders for state honors. McClure, Barton, and Marcellus are the three men who have worn a Maroon and C-old outfit for the last time. All of our first team placed on the all Star team in the County Tournament. The All Star Team is as follows: Armstrong, f., Wapellag Henson, f., Clinton: Woods, f., captain, Clinton: Wilson, c., Clinton: Karr, g., Clintong McClure, g., Clintong Thorpe, g., Wapella. Karr also made guard on the District all Star Team, and central state all Star. Woods made forward on the District Second Team all Star. December 3, l926 Clinton vs. Mt. Pulaski With a little more than a week's practice Clinton journeyed to Mt. Pulaski for their first basket-ball game of the season. lt looked as though they had not got out of their football slump and Mt. Pulaski took them to the tune of l6-6 score. December ll, i926 Clinton vs. Weldon The Clintonites took an easy victory from Weldon in the first home game of the season, handing them the short end of a 50-6 count. lt looked a little as if the locals were trying to get back on Weldon, for what Mt. Pulaski had given them last week. December l7, 1926 Clinton vs. Bloomington Clinton trounced Bloomington to the tune of 33-I2 when they came down here. Bloomington came with the idea of taking home the bacon.

All who saw this game saw what the locals could do when they tried. December 24, l926 Clinton vs. Minonk This was a very hard fought game from start to finish. Neither team was more than three points in the lead any part of the game. The locals were in the lead at the half 8-7, but could not hold the one point lead. The game ending 21-Z4 in favor of Minonk. January 7, I927 Clinton vs. Mt. Pulaski This was one of the fastest and hardest fought games of the season. lVlt. Pulaski came here with the idea of winning, but went back pretty much disappointed. Neither team was more than one point ahead at any part of the game. The game ended with a 35-34 score in Clinton's favor. January 8, I927 Clinton vs. Farmer City This was a very slow game. The locals did not have any trouble in copping this game from Farmer City. The score was 33-9. january l4, I927 Clinton vs. Heyworth . This was real fruit for Clinton as they say. The Clintonians showed up so well that it looked as if they were playing themselves rather than Hey- worth. The game ending with a 63-I2 score. january 28, l927 Clinton vs. Beason Beason was looked on as a very hard team to beat. Well they were. We succeeded in handing them a I9-l 3 defeat. January 29, l927 Clinton vs. Kenney After having played a hard game the night before with Beason it was thought that the Clintonians would be all in for the Kenney game. They went to Kenney and handed them the short end of a 23-I0 count as though they had not played Beason. February 4, l92 7 Clinton vs. Farmer 'City Farmer City has a very difhcult floor to play on. They seem to beat almost every team that they play on their floor. Clinton went there for a game and beat them by a 23-l 3 score. February l l, I927 Clinton vs. Arrowsmith This was another slow game. The Clintonians were too fast for the Arrowsmiih lads and handed them the short end of a 49-I8 count. mmm mm.1.1H1.mmV.i1it.H-H.in1.1HmmI1vwmwim-wwwI111iH1-mmiHV-11it-in1.11H,m.i..i-Hliwmw mmfm1H1.mmmfi1uuwmlmtvmun Hw...muInmummmrnmmmmm:rw....mnmnmn....-.ummmm. CLINTONIA 1927 ' February 12, 1927 Clinton vs. Weldon This was another easy game for Clinton when they went to Weldon and handed them a 35-9 defeat. February 18, 1927 Clinton vs. Wapella This was looked on as a very good game. Wapella thought they could beat Clinton. l guess they were not in a very good mood from the de- feat Clinton gave them in the County Tournament. Clinton defeated them 40-18. February 19, 1927 Clinton vs. Heyworlh This was another easy game for the Clintonians even if it was on l'leyworth's floor, Clinton defeating them 37-IZ. February 25, 1927 Clinton vs. Waynesville This being such an easy game for the first team the second team was given a chance in the last half and showed up very well defeating them 72-7. The first string was reserved for the game with Minonk the following night. February 26, 1927 Clinton vs. Minonk Clinton went to Minonk with revenge in their minds and gave it to them by handing them the short encl of a 28-21 count. March 4, 1927 Clinton vs. Beason This was looked on as a very hard game for the locals. Well it was, Beason gave us the short end of a 16-12 count. This was a heart breaker, for it was the first defeat we had after winning I9 straight games. March 5, 1927 Clinton vs. Kenney This was the last game of the season and was an easy one for Clinton. Coach Wilson used his entire squad of about I5 men to good advantage, cle- feating Kenney by a 76-5 count. This was the largest score Clinton had ever made against any team. -pu Q 1 ' ' ' CLINTONIA I 92 7 nnummmmnummmmmnnmuu .nm Season's Score Clinton lVlt. Pulaski . Clinton Wapella . . .

Clinton vs. U. High Something went wrong with the Clintonians for they could not hit the hoop. They more than out played U. High but could not collect more points than their opponents. We were defeated by a 22-25 score. Wesleyan Invitational Prom about 25 of the best teams in the state I6 of them were picked to play in this tournament. Clinton was one of these teams. ln the second game of the tournament Clinton played the strong Pekin team. The locals put up a hard fight but could not overcome the scoring ability of the Pekin lads. This game was very close for the first two quarters. At the end of the first quarter the score was 4-4, at the end of the half the score was 8-8. After this the Pekin lads took a scoring sprint which the locals could not overcome losing the game to them by a l l-22 count. Page Sixty-Two CLINTONIA 192 7 DeWitt County Both Clinton teams were victorious in this tournament, the Hrst string winning the County championship, while the second string won the consolation championship. This tournament is played in three sections, one section being played at Wapella, another at Weldon, the final and championship being played here. Clinton Seconds vs. Wapella ln the first game of the tournament the Clinton Seconds played the Wapella flrsts. This was a close game for the first half, then Wapella slowly walked away with us, handing us a 24-l 3 count. Clinton Firsts vs. Waynesville Clinton and Vfaynesville played the second game of the tournament. It was a very easy game for the first team who defeated their opponents 45-7. Clinton Firsts vs. Wapella This was the best game of the tournament. It was anybody's game up to the last few minutes to play, when baskets by Woods and Wilson and L1 free throw cinched the game for Clinton. The game was very close with one team leading then the other. The score at the half was 8-7 in our favor and at the end l9-I6 in our favor. Clinton Seconds vs. Weldon Seconds The Clinton seconds eliminated the Weldon seconds from the Con- solation Championship, defeating them 44-IO. Clinton Seconds vs. Farmer City The Clinton Seconds won the Consolation Championship when they trounced Farmer City by a score of 40-20. This game was very close till the half then the seconds begin hitting on all five. The score at the half was l 3-l 3. Clinton vs. Kenney Championship Clinton did not have any trouble defeating Kenney for the county championship. Clinton was never in danger at any point of the game, hand- ing them the short end of a 66-I0 count. District Clinton played at Decatur in the district tournament. This did not only create much interest among Clinton fans but also among the Decatur fans. Decatur and Clinton were picked to play for championship but due to an upset they played for third place. Clinton vs. Arthur ln the second game of the tournament Clinton nosed out the strong Arthur team by a 23-Zl score. Arthur was classed with the strong teams of the tournament. Clinton vs. Lovington ln another close and exciting game of the tournament Clinton nosecl out Lovington by a 25-23 count. Lovington was also classed among the strongest teams entered. , Page Sixty-Three CLNTONIA I 92 7 Clinton vs. Macon This game everybody had Clinton picked to win by 20 points. Somehow, nobody knows why, but Macon nosed us out by one point, I8-I 7. Decatur was also nosed out in the following game, by the weak Bethany team by a I9-I8 score, this making Clinton play Decatur for third place rather than first. Both of these games were heart breakers for both teams and their fans. Clinton vs. Decatur This game was not very interesting for neither team cared Very much who won, because they were the two teams picked to play for champion- ship. Decatur won from us by a 35-23 score. Clinton will have practically the same team next year, and as a class of 27 we wish them success in all their season games and all the tourna- ments they may be entered in. BASEBALL The Clinton High School Baseball team had played only two games when this book went to press. Both games were played with Decatur, one at Decatur, and one at home. We were beaten in both games, I0 to 3, and ll to 4 due to bad support. Coach K. D. Wilson unearthed one of the best High School pitchers in this part of the state in Oliver Woods. But bad sup- port by Woods' infield, lost both games for him. The following men won Maroon and Gold uniforms this year: Oliver Woods, pitcher. l-lershel Cole, catcher. Ralph Karr, short stop. Emison McClure, right field. Kenneth Henson, second base. Keith Rhea, center field. Bernard Mills, third base. Edward Porter, left field. Thomas Day, first base. Benjamin Watt, left field.

Most of them were brave little tots, but Ivan, their little president, was so afraid of those great, big Senior boys, who are really harmless species, came early. The dear little things enjoyed themselves im- mensely playing such games as Two Deep and Drop the I-Iandkerchieff' When all traces of refreshments had disappeared, except a stack of dirty dishes, the Juniors went home to their Mamas SENIOR COASTING PARTY On the same night that the Juniors were rummaging through old trunks for kid clothesfi the Seniors were searching for warm sweaters, caps and their sleds. The I-Iigh School hill furnished an ideal place to coast, and the weather was just cold enough for good coasting. The Seniors, having coasted until their bones ached and their noses nipped sought refuge in the home of Mrs. Scott. I-Iere they found the much welcomed hot chocolate and sandwiches awaiting them. When all had eaten their fill, the Seniors gathered in a circle and told stories and jokes. We found that the Senior Class posseises many talented story-tellers. No one had had the forethought to stop the clock so that all too soon the hands pointed to the hour for Seniors to leave, regretting that the best party of the season was ended. SENIOR CHILI SUPPER The Seniors, having had so much success in their first party, gather- ed in the high school gymnasium Thursday, December I6, for a chili supper and Christmas party. Many members of the faculty were present, some of whom furnished much entertainment. Vfhen the Seniors had eaten so much chili they had almost gone Mexican, they gathered into a circle to await the coming of Santa Claus. When at last he did come, his sack laden with gifts, he made each one earn his gift by speaking a piece. lt was truly a de- lightful party, and when at last it came to an end, the good cheer of Chrizt- mas was shared by all. AG OYSTER SUPPER Dads and a number of Clinton business men were entertained by the agriculture class of the Clinton Community High School, Thursday, December I6, at an oyster supper served in the Y. M. C. A. This event was in celebration of the winning of third place in the recent stock and grain judging contest in Bloomington. After a delicious supper served by several high school girls and Mrs. Smith, Charles Griffin, a member of the Ag class, led in the singing. After a vocal solo, by Mr. Griffin, several talks were given by prominent Clinton business men in which they congratulated Mr. Smith and the club on the suc- cess they have had the three years they have been part of the high school endeavors. AG CHILI SUPPER The Ag students all seemed so happy that they had passed exams that they celebrated with a chili supper on February 2. The party was different from most other similar events in that it cost nothing. WM. H. COLE. Page Sixty-'Six CLINTONIA 192 7 SCIENCE CLUB PARTY The Science Club abandoned their scientific work for a while to in- dulge in a party on january 20. Miss Porter, Mrs. Porter and Mr. Smith joined the crowd. An interesting galosh game was played by girls only and the tie game, also by girls, proved that men are indispensible creatures. Even after refreshments were served the crowd seemed loath to go so a lively game of two-deep was started, but if it was finished at all it must have been outside. HI-Y BANQUET The Hi-Y Club participated in a banquet Thursday, january I3, at six o'clock. This event preceded the regular Thursday night meeting. Rev. J. Wayne Staley came as a guest to the banquet and afterwards lecl the meeting. The members spent a most enjoyable evening. SENIOR Bos-SLED PARTY The Seniors held a bob-sled party on Monday night, january l7. The bob party started from the high school at eight o'clock and rode until nine. Then all went to Ketterson's confectionery for refreshments. The Seniors all agreed that they had a very enjoyable evening. The hour's ride on a bob-slecl proved to be one of much fun and gaiety, and the time at Ketter- son's was thoroughly enjoyed because all Seniors like good food. SOPHOMORE PARTY About forty members of the Sophomore class gathered in the cafe- teria at six o'clock Friday evening, April 29, for a supper and card party. Several members of the faculty were also in attendance. The supper consisted of dishes brought by some of the members of the class, and the money which was brought by others was used to buy lolli- pops. After supper had been served, the guests were seated at tables, and they spent the following time in playing rook and Hinch. The Classical Club Orchestra, led by Udell Kring, then entertained for the rest of the evening. Several solos, furnished by Grace Williams, Ruth Robb, Clarence Day, Harvey Kring, Udell Kring, and Charles Cralbreath were also enjoyed. Everyone departed about nine o'cloclc, expressing their desires for another party soon. CLASSICAL CLUB BANQUET On the evening of May 3, the Classical Club held their annual banquet in the Presbyterian church. Several members of the faculty and parents of the club members were present also. After a delicious supper served by the ladies of the church, the following program was given: l. Vocal solo-Maurice Lane. 2. Duet-Dorothy Lighthall and Ruth lngham. 3. Violin solo-Nodene Brittin. 4. Classical Club Orchestra. 5. Reading-Edna Frances Cano. Speeches were given by Mr. Robb, Crrace Williams and Rev. C. A. Polson. Kirby Todd was toastmaster. Page Sixty-Seven CLIN I ONIA I927 SOPHOMORE HALLOWE'EN PARTY The Sophomores have the distinction of being the first class to hold a party this year. On Friday evening, October 22, a bizarre crowd thronged the High School Gymnasium which. was gaily decorated for the occasion. The costumes reflected the ingenuity of the Sophs and threw a new light up- on some of our worthy faculty. Mr. Smith was a capering clown: Miss Mar- shall, a bewitching little Mexican: and last but not least-Miss Foote's im- personation of a timid, unassuming old lady, won her the prize. The games played were creepy and hair-raising, but the spirits of the guests rose when time to eat came. Partners were determined by matching pieces of paper pumpkins. Then dainty refreshments, consisting of pumpkin pie a Ia mode and candy corn, were served. When all the eats had disappeared, the Sophomores left, happy that theirs had been the first party. JUNIOR VALENTINE PARTY The juniors were entertained with a Valentine party given by their faculty sponsors Monday, February I4, during the twenty-minute period. Several snappy games were played. Sabina Brinkman was awarded a prize for her archery skill in piercing the heart. SOPH CHILI SUPPER The Sophomores held their second party of the school year on Wednesday, January I2, in the form of a chili supper at the high school cafeteria. As all Sophomores like to eat, everyone enjoyed himself at this party. After the supper was over, games were played until it was time for all brilliant Sophomores to have their beauty rest. SENIOR SKATING PARTY As skating is now the latest fad, the Seniors held a skating party Wednesday evening, April 6. The party was chaperoned by Miss Myers. After spending several enjoyable hours skating about the campus, the party divided into groups who went to different places about town to eat. BOOSTER HAMBURG FRY With thoughts of juicy hamburgers and candy apples in their heads, the Boosters tripped gaily toward the High School, Thursday evening, November I I. Here they found Miss Myers, Miss Hickey and several mem- bers of the club in the kitchen, busily engaged in frying hamburgers. Supper was served cafeteria style so everyone helped himself to all, including mustard, pickles and other relishes. After games had been played, and the dishes washed, the Boosters left full up.

Many fine fellows have been unable to join this club because of lack of time to attend the meetings and other good reasons. The Hnest trad- itions of C. H. S. are fostered and encouraged by the Hi-Y club. Among these may be mentioned, clean athletics, clean speech, clean scholarship and clean living. These four C's form the heart of this group of boys. What could put our High School to the front as one of the finest in the state and quicker or better than for every student to give the Hi-Y Club their fullest co- operation in living out in their lives these four C's ? We do not claim to be any better than any other student or club, but we stand for the very best in school life. Membership is confined to the three upper classes. lts purpose is- To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. There is a fine social side to the club as well as the serious. Meetings are held at least once a week, with banquets, outside speakers and discus- sions of life problems and methods by which the school can be helped. This club is not confined to Clinton, but is international in scope including thous- ands of boys all over the world. ln addition to the officers the membership is composed of the follow- ing boys-Kenneth Wade, Chas. Galbreath, Chas. jones, Udell Kring, Harvey Kring, Floyd Miller, Kenneth Henson, Clarence Day, Keith Rhea, Roger Brewer, Harold Williams and Otis Nicholson. G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association has an ever increasing membership. The organization has been led this year by Winnie May Weedman and to her is due a great deal of the credit for their success. Ruby Ely has guarded their treasury faithfully while Charlotte Bowers helps by keeping the records. The girls are learning the fundamentals of athletics, sportsmanship, and hygienic living. These points are stressed by practice. They have basketball teams, baseball, and are contemplating track. They have learned to practice the golden rule and to 'iplay the game. The vision of a week at Camp Kiwanis has aided many of the girls to stick by their training rules and live rightly. CLASSICAL CLUB The Clinton Classical Club was organized five years ago by a group of twelve Caesar students who desired to know more of the Romans, their history, their customs and the people, than they were able to learn in a forty- five minute class period. Meetings were arranged twice a month with an hour and a half program. A meeting of such length gave an opportunity to study a subject from different viewpoints and get a definite knowledge of the topic being considered. The second year the club was organized after the real Roman State and the membership was divided into the Plebeians, Senatores and Equites classes. Pupils enrolled in Freshman Latin classes are Plebsg the Caesar Cicero and Vergil students are the Patresg and those who have had two ...i.IHummHri1mm1H1I1wwwH1uimmiH1Imm-i,IimmmimnnmmHHimm.H11immm1-i1imm-iHvii.mmiIiHinmm1I+Hinuminnumm14InHuwinnummlvurnuminI111.1411111Inmm:u1nummIilinum1HHmummnmmumn I C1-.uxToN1A 192 7 years of Latin, though not enrolled in a Latin Class are the Knights. No one is permitted to hold membership in the club and so be a Roman citizen, who does not keep his grades above 70 and maintain an average of 75. All officers must have higher averages. The earning of these grades corresponds to the money requisite to Roman citizenship. With these restrictions there is a membership of more than forty, while the atendance averages 55-60. All who can agree to our constitution and meet our regulations are welcome to come along with us. SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of the Science Club is to promote interest in science and to give a better idea of the place science holds in the modern world. The Science Club was organized in November, l926. Each science class sent three delegates chosen from its members to a convention which acted as a nominating committee. Everyone who had registered as a member of the club, was allowed to vote, by ballot, in his class. The officers for the first semester were as follows: President ..,., . . Ralph Clark Vice President . . Ruth Hull Secretary , . . , , . Alta Jenkins Treasurer 4...... . . Lois Hull Sergeant-at-arms , . , . . ..., Bernard Mills The club this year held two meetings a month, one after school and one at night. The night meetings are held on the second Thursday, and the meetings after school on the fourth Tuesday of each month. All members who have had or are taking Science and are passing in three subjects are eligible to become members. The following classes are represented in the club: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Domestic Science, Agriculture, Geography, and Hygiene. These meetings have splendid entertainments arranged by special committees of three, who are appointed by the President at the regular meet- ings. The greater part of the programs are composed of talks or experiments on subjects pertaining to science. There are also readings and different musi- cal selections. Both teachers and students take part in the programs. There have been two social meetings, one in each semester. Both were held in the Gymnasium of the East Building. Many enjoyable games were played, and delicious refreshments were served by the special corn- mittees. All members agreed heartily that they had had a wonderful time. The officers for the second semester were: President ......, ..,, . . . Dorotha Nlcl-laney Vice President ,.,..... . . . Kenneth Wade Secretary and Treasurer .... . Alice lngham Sergeant-at-arms . . , . . Bernard Mills Ralph Clark was elected as President with Dorotha Mel-Ianey as Vice President. When Ralph resigned, Dorotha was chosen to take his place, while Kenneth was elected as Vice President. There are between sixty and seventy members in the club, sixteen of whom have been on the Honor Roll. This club is a new organization. lt has been very successful th's year, and it is hoped that it will be more so next year. Plans are being made to start the club out right, at the very beginning of next year. Page Seventy-One CLINTONIA V I92 7 BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club, under the capable leadership of Miss Myers, was organized this year. There are fifty members, representing the Sophomore, junior and Senior classes. The purpose of this club is to boost, not only athletics, but all school activities.

The Freshmen and Sophomores singing twice each week and the Seniors and Juniors each having one assembly period for music. Mrs. Sylvia Edmiston is the teacher of Vocal Music in our high school and the director of the three glee clubs. She is directly responsible for the great interest shown in vocal music and the successes of all these organiza- tions. THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND Early in the fall of the past year, a collection of would-be musicians, under the competent leadership of Mr. Chenette, started out to make a high school band. After several weeks' practice, the band played for some foot- ball games. lt put pep into the games, and helped quite a little toward the winning of the games. Then, later, during basketball season, it turned out full force to cheer the players on to victory. Approximately twenty mem- bers attended regularly. Let us hope that we have a bigger and better band than ever next year--so good that we will be able to send it to Champaign to compete in the high school band contest there, and win, too, if possible. THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA This organization also started last fall under the leadership of Mr. Chenette. There was a much larger membership in the orchestra than in the band, there being about thirty members. The first semester we did more practicing than we did later. During the second semester we were get- ting ready for the performances which we put on, or helped put on. Our first appearance was the latter part of the first semester when we played a few numbers. Then, during the second semester, we played at the minstrel show, the senior play, in the assembly, and a few other places. We are in- debted to Mr. George Ashley, cornetist, for his assistance in playing at the Senior Play and in the assembly, where he entertained the audience with several selections, besides playing with the orchestra. HARVEY KRING. The Senior play Adam and Eva was staged April the twenty-second, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. True to expectations, the cast chosen by the coach, Mr. Austin, gave an enjoyable performance and did much to maintain the standard of our school. The play was an ideal one. Bill Cole made a wonderful tyrant as he stalked back and forth, throwing bouquets at his loving family. As for Kenneth Wade, he was enough to drive any man distracted. Forever yawning and complaining, he kept the audience roaring with laughter. Louise Grimsley starred as Eva. We are proud of her even if we did nearly die of anxiety for fear Adam would forget to tell her of his love. Most of the Senior class are relieved about the future of Emison Mc- Clure since they discovered that his goal is a rich wife. Anyway, he makes a handsome doctor. Alta Jenkins was perfect as Julie Dewitt. How she worshipped her masterful husband, Clinton De1'Witt. known among us as Blye Roberts. Blye can act all right, and as for wearing clothes, he can't be beaten. Winifred Whalen, as Corinthia, wasted her love on Adam. She was a darling and we all loved her if Adam didn't. And last comes Adam, played by Harold Williams. Now Adam, the hero, knew everything and understood nothing. He won the fair Eva and gave a perfect ending to a perfect play. ....... .... . ........ .. ....... .. ...... . ......... ..... . .
