Who would have thought we could learn so much in nine short months0 At the beginning of the year there were one hundred and seventy-six Freshmen, but some got sick of being stepped on all the time which left just one hundred and fifty-six. On September twelfth, just before Friday, the thirteenth. the c’ass elected its council members. They were Lewis Gottlieb, chairman. Richard Hull. Mercedes Myers, Vida Roberts, ar.d Vernon Young. Myrtle Edwards was the Margol Representative. On December seventeenth we had our class party in the High School Gymnasium. It was a grout success and everyone had a good time. The second semester started off with an enrollment of two hundred and two. There were forty-six midtermers, four of these being pupils who had reentered high school. Well, we are glad we will soon be Sophomores but do not regret our Freshman year and the helping hand of the class adviser. Miss Wynd. who has stood by us in our difficulties. Nine rahs” for Miss Wynd and the Freshman Council. Hoping U: be a Sophomore before long. I am. Yours sincerely.

He got all the hoys and girls when they were about fourteen years old and kept them in prison for four years. Yes sir! and he made them study, too. Two years ago he got hold of about one-hundred and fifty hoys and girls and he said, “Now you study. If you don't. I'm going to keep you more than four years.” We all shivered ’cause we were frightened. After awhile the funniest thing happened—the old ogre stopped being mean, and we didn't mind him one bit. During the first month of our “term. we elected leaders (to speak for us in case we aroused the ogre’s anger). They were Charles Anderson, Bob Johnson, John Caldwell, Guinevere Reed, and Marian Wood. Dorothea Williams was chosen by the faculty to serve on the Margol Staff. Marian Wood was Freshman snap-shot editor for the Clintonia. Then our prison became a prison no longer and the ogre kindly allowed us to have two parties—one in December and another in March. One eventful day late in May we were brought before a tribunal (consisting of teachers) and tried (by being asked sundry questions). Having passed this test of our knowledge successfully, we were allowed to call ourselves Sophomores. In September we returned to prison and the ogre, to find that they had completely changed. The prison was now an enchanted castle and the ogre, a fairy prince. We were surprised and ashamed at our ignorance and cowardice of the preceding year. This year we (wisely?) chose a girl as our leader. Guinevere Reed acted as chairman of the council and Lawrence Jones, Marian Wood, John Caldwell, and Merle Edmiston were council members. Jane Kolp was honored with the position of Sophomore snap-shot editor for the annual. The first social event of the year was staged by the Sophomores. It was in the form of a Hallowe'en party. During our first year we were sponsored by Miss Wynd, but the responsibilities of caring for such an irresponsible bunch were taken over by Miss Marshall in the fall of '29. Owing to our new dignity as Sophomores we were allowed to have two Margol representatives. They were Raymond Brown and Fred Lewis. Again at the end of our “term” we were brought before a tribunal. The questions were more difficult than the ones before and showed more curiosity on the part of the judges. However, after a most harassing two days, the majority of us passed and were allowed to enter into that fairyland coveted by all Sophomores—the East Building. Fourteen Marian Wood.

As the class secretary she is a grand success.

Miss Wynd was the guide through the first nine miles. ()n this first lapse. Charles Andrews, Loretta Kirk, Charlotte Siflfert. Marcella Bales, and John Robinson were elected as conductors. During this time, a party was held to relieve the tedium of a long trip. It w-as, in keeping with the colors of the train which carried the people the first nine miles, a St. Patrick’s party. Everyone had a good time, and went back to their routes with an increased vigor. September, 1928, started another stage of the journey, which also was to cover nine miles. A new guide was given us, and she was no other than the winsome Miss Marshall. For conductors, we had Johnny Robinson, Charles Andrews, Loretta Kirk, Helen Wright, and Virginia Hollibaugh. The colors in the meantime had been changed to Maroon and Gold. These lasted all during the remainder of the journey. Two parties were given this year. A hallowe’en, and a bunco. Both were huge successes, due to the brilliant planning by various members of the class. In athletics, Shaw and Andrews put the Sophomore coach on the map. Even the proud Engine, the Senior Class, recognized, their ability. It was with sorrow and regret that we ended this stage of our trip. Another nine miles to cover! We started in September, and are still going strong. Miss Ross is our guide, and Charles Andrews is the pilot. His able assistants are Vice-President Loretta Kirk, Secretary Eliza! eth Nelle Barr, and Treasurer Merle Callison. The greatest enterprise, and most successful was the excellent Junior play, which was entitled Miracles. This was a success in entertainment and also finance. Two parties were held, a hallowe’en party and a Valentine party, both of which were enjoyed by all those who attended. The reception is a thing to make history. When has there been one better? Never! And next year we will come back to finish the last nine miles of our journey, the last time under the colors of C. C. H. S. And we are sure that with the cooperation and splendid help we have received from the teachers and other interested persons, we cannot help but to succeed. Anai.ee Metz.

Twenty-One “THE JUNIOR CLATT Invulnerable, onward sails the ship; The hull maroon, with golden sails; Hewn out of timber green and strong, To give the lasting qualities. The ship is beautiful withal, With skillful lines, and delicate sails To catch each breath of intellect. Its name, a floating banner tells, “The Junior Class of C. C. H. S. The log is kept by Elizabeth Xelle Barr, With Charles Andrews at the helm: And a better crew could not be found Within our school's small realm. Sometimes we sail alone, Sometimes we're with the fleet, “The Junior Class the flagship, “C. C. H. S.” the fleet. When the flagship clears its deck And the rest of the fleet is near, The opposing fleet is worried, And often filled with fear. Thru the Freshman Sea we sailed, ’Twas not so stormy there. The Sophomore Sea was somewhat worse, But a groan you'd never hear. We’ve one more sea to sail Before our voyage is o’er. And this in the stormiest weather; The Sea of the Senior year. And when that sea we’ve sailed, And our battles we have won; Then we'll receive the trophy, And sail on, and on, and on. Chari.es Briggs.

Russell Van Horn, the hero, was played by Jack Wagstaff. He and Joe Dawson, played by Delmar Murray, were both in love with Peggy Lou, Edna Kileen, and as a result of their jealousy a fight is staged in which Russel Van Horn was victorious. Some of the most impressive characters of the play were: Esco Rhea as Nippy Simpson, attendant of the hotel; Francis Gardner as Old Proby, the veteran of the battle of Gettysburg, who tells of his experiences during the battle; and Frank Rtindle as Constable Runkle, the law of the little city, who constantly boasts of his 20 years of service. Other characters of the cast were Floy Parker, Virginia Harmon, Bernard Kolp, Oressa Lynch, Martha Henson, Otha Polston, and Edna Frances Gano. The play had its setting in a hotel in the small city of Homestead. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Juniors presented their class play oi December 3. 1929 at the Clintonia Theatre. The title of the play was “Miracles” and Miss Jessie Cline of Bloomington chose the cast while Miss Ross very successfully directed it. The play, which was a comedy with a serious line of thought running through it, was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The Junior Class from Wapella attended in a body anti sat in a group of seats reserved for them. The cast was: Miracle Man—Abner Phares. Leading Ladv—Friedabelle Cacklev. Society Women—Merna Hawkins, Beatrice Taylor. Our Boys—Edward Schatz, Daniel Smith. The Young Belle—Annalee Metz. The Vamps—Grace Langelier, Marguerite Morin. Plain Clothes Man—Merle Callison. There was musical entertainment between the acts and the high school orchestra furnished the music. The Juniors are to be congratulated on the way in which their play was presented and the success with which it met. This was the second Junior Class Play to 1 e given here, the first having been presented by the Juniors last year. JUNIOR VALENTINE PARTY The Juniors had a Valentine party in the gymnasium on February 12. The room was decorated to suit the occasion and Valentine games were played. A large number were present. Twenty-Six THE TALKIE CLUB The Talkies Club met every Tuesday from 8 to 9 in the Junior assembly. The cluh was divided into two departments. The first dealt with prepared talks, debates, etc., and was in charge of Mr. Robinson. The second dealt with dramatics, plays, readings, etc., and was under the direction of Mr. Evans. The officers were: President, Callistus Gillen ; Vice President, Wilma Kring; Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Ingham. The members were: Kent Alverson Georgia Edwards Ruth Alverson Charles Andrews Lorena Andrews James Armstrong Elizabeth lfess Cleo Marie Blake Alden Brewer Helen Brown Viola Burns John Caldwell Frederick Carey lone Cullers Harry Deegan Myrtle Edwards Clyde Fiester Elmer Gash Callistus Gillen Doris Goin Harold Goin Ruby Goin Portia Gray Margaret Green Virginia Harmon Margaret Hendrick Richard Hooker Lois Hull Ruth Ingham Warren Karr Edna Kileen Wilma Kring Dean La Mon Frances Littleton Irma Lynch Oressa Lynch Floy Parker Dessa Perkins Otha Polston Christine Querfield Guinevere Reed Florence Reid Leonard Rice Ella Schluneger Hargie Shelby Charlotte Siffert Florence Stewart Rachel Sutton Wilbur Sympson Edna Trobaugh Marian Wood Virginia Wood Blossom Yates Vernon Young Twenty-Seven INTONIA SOPHOMORE HALLOWE'EN PARTY To the Sophomores goes the honor of being the first class to have a party this year, which was in the form of a Hallowe'en party and was held October 21 in the “gym,” under the supervision of Miss Marshall. About sixty were present and there were said to be fifteen looking in through the windows. Games were played, and from the shrieks one would think someone was being initiated, but it was only Merle Edminston's “dead man” being passed around. The prizes for the best costumes went to Naomi Gardner and Nevida Miller. And Don’t forget Miss Lape, who was so cleverly dressed that no one recognized her. Punch and cookies were served, after which everyone departed, proclaiming the first party of the class of '32 a huge success. THE FRESHMEN CHRISTMAS PARTY The most successful party of the season, according to Mr. Robb, was the Freshmen Christmas party which was held on December 17 in the gymnasium. Christmas games were played and fortunes were told by means of fortune telling bells. One of the Christmas games was played by having each person ask someone a question and that question had to be answered with a word beginning with the first letter of Merry or the first letter of Christmas. Each of the guests brough a gift and these gifts were distributed by a Santa Claus. Then came the most important part—refreshments, which were hot pudding, cocoa, and Christmas candy. The party adjourned, and it was agreed by all that the party had been a success. CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club had a program at each of its meetings. When a new word came up in the lesson a talk was given at the next meeting about that word. The club met the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The members of the council for the second semester were Guinevere Reed and Raymond Brown. NIMBLE FINGERS HOBO PARTY The Nimble Fingers Club had a hobo party on January 24, and from all reports everyone had a good time. Members of the faculty who attended were Miss Lape, Mrs. Scott, Miss Marshall, Miss Ross, and Miss Wynd. And I hear that Miss Marshall is quite an acrobat. Advertisements taken from papers were pinned on the walls and the object was to guess what company’s advertisement it was. Lotto was played with coni. The refreshments were hot dogs and apples tied in a blue handkerchief to a stick and cocoa was served to the “bums” at the back door. The party broke up at ten and the weary hobos went away and sought a place to sleep. Twenty-Eight 0s A. A. The Girls’ Athletic Association met on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, at which time a business meeting was held. Girls who wished to belong were required to earn 100 points by playing basket ball, taking hikes, doing stunts, and passing various other tests of their athletic skill. The officers were: President.

Owing to the heavy snow which had fallen that day, fewer attended than was expected. The evening was partly spent in playing bunco and the prizes given were Milky Ways. The remainder of the evening was spent in taking flash-light pictures and silhouettes for the Clintonia. Refreshments of sandwiches, coca cola, oranges, and stick candy were served and I'm sure everyone enjoyed himself as much as I did in spite of the cold and snow. Tliirly-Two HIGH-y CLUE The Hi-Y Club works with both the high school and the Y. M. C. A. Thus the name, Hi-Y. The meetings were held every Thursday evening, at which time discussions were held on topics brought by the members. Sometimes a s] eaker was invited to speak on some subject which would l e of value or interest to the boys. Occasionally parts of books were read. The officers were: President, Frank Maxwell; Vice President, Harry Macon; Secretary, Robert Witts; Treasurer, Telvin Tuggle. The members were: Charles Anderson, John Caldwell, Harlon Donaldson, Merle Edmiston, Dale Green, Ralph Kraft. Delmar Murray, Frank Rundle, Jr., Edward Schatz, Daniel Smith, and Harold Thorpe. LATIN CLUB PARTY The first year Latin classes held the fourth Hallowe’en party on October 25, in the “gym.” There were about forty present including two members of the faculty. Miss Ross and Miss Foote. Hallowe'en games were played and fortunes told. Then, an unlooked-for pleasure was given the party by a quartet composed of Bernard Coakley, Pat Jordon, Densil Parker, and Billy Rundle. Ice cream, cup cakes, and candy were served, and everyone enjoyed himself so greatly that all left looking forward to having another party soon.

Rye bread sandwiches, olives, and grape juice were served, as was the Roman custom. The party adjourned after the king and queen of the party were chosen. On April 26 the District Commercial Contest was held at Decatur. Students from the Commercial Department entered shorthand and typing events.

COMMERCIAL CONTEST Thirty-Four THE MiCGCL 'J'he Margol, the school newspaper, was issued every two weeks. As the paper was financed by means of advertising it was possible to furnish each student with a free copy. Outsiders received the paper by paying fifty cents a year. The paper contained all the news of the school, articles and poems written by the students, and jokes. The following was the staff for the school year of 1929-1930: Faculty Advisers—Miss Carnine, Miss Tull. Editor-in-Chief—Lois Hull. Business Manager—Edward Schatz.

Typists—Martha Henson, Harriet Reeser. Thirty-Five ON IA JUNIOR HALLOWE'EN PARTY Two evenings after the Sophomore's Hallowe’en party, the Juniors held their first party, and it, too, was in the form of a Hallowe’en party. As the guests arrived at the south door of the East Building, they were ushered into the Junior assembly by Miss Wynd, where they left their wraps, and from there they were led to the Senior hall by a ghost, who later turned out to be Elsie Stewart. In the middle of the room, they were told a story of a murdered man and felt the parts of his body. Imagine how frightened they were when they were confronted by his ghost as they neared the north stairs. In the “gym” they played two-deep and winkum and had a corn relay race. Then the fortunes were told. Wilma Kring was given the prize for being the best masked. She was dressed as an old lady. At nine o'clock, refreshments of pumpkin pie and cider were served and at nine-thirty everyone departed, each declaring he had had an enjoyable evening.

CIPTM LET US TAKE YOU HOME. Thirty-Seven ON IA FCCTB4LL DECATUR vs. CLINTON Clinton, with a new coach. Joe Axelson, and five letter men hack from last year, started its football season against Decatur on September 21. Decatur had 9 of their first eleven men back while Clinton had practically a new team. It being so early in the season the Axelson boys were not prepared for such hard competition. Decatur hail a sleeper along the side lines and our ends, who were not expecting such a thing, did not look. The sleeper received a pass and they had a touchdown on three plays. Once did not prove enough to convince the ends that they were supposed to watch for a sleeper, and so Decatur scored another seven points before the half. Clinton opened up on the second play after the half and scored a touchdown by a ] ass from Westray to Porter. Clinton was then holding her own with the Reds when Hiter received a broken jaw and was knocked unconscious. A little later Westray was hit and was so dazed that he had to be taken from the field. Then the Kintner boys had little trouble making points with two of our good men out. The final count was 39 to 6 in favor of Decatur. BLOOMINGTON vs. CLINTON Two weeks have passed since the Decatur game and with the rest and extra practice the boys were much better prepared to meet their foe. This happened to be Bloomington on October 5. The teams clashed in the Sprague stadium and the battle was fought on even terms although the visitors blocked one of Clinton’s punts and converted it into a touchdown. The extra point was not made. Each team was doing its best so the ball was kept in the middle of the field most of the contest. Things began to look pretty bad in the fourth quarter when Bloomington was still 6 points ahead. With just two minutes to play Porter received a 25 yard pass from Westray and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Callison tried kicking for the extra point, but it was about 6 inches too low, and the gun sounded with the score 6 all. Anderson received a broken ankle that may keep him out-of several games. Shelby played a wonderful game at etui and may receive a permanent position. LINCOLN vs. CLINTON Clinton played one of the strongest teams in the state when they clashed on the Lincoln gridiron. Lincoln won the Big Twelve Conference without a defeat. They also place three men on the all state team. Cutlip, tackle; Gorens, half back, and Froschauer. half back. Clinton was without the aid of Anderson which was one of the biggest handicaps not counting the other. The game was interesting the first half for Clinton held Lincoln 6 to 0. But when Clinton came back after the half they were so near Thirty-Eight Front How—Coach Axlcson, Manager Lewis. Fo’ston, Weal ray, Shaw, Anderson (Captain), IIiter. Porter, Andrews, Callison.

Slusser, Gott-lelb. all in that Lincoln did not have much trouble from then on. There were new men who could not fill the places of the regular team and this was a great advantage to Lincoln. There were numerous fumbles on the part of Clinton that proved disasterous. In the last few seconds to play Porter passed to Shelby for a touchdown and Johnson plunged for the extra point. The final score was Lincoln 27 Clinton 7. NORMAL vs. CLINTON On (October 18 Joe Axelson’s gridiron warriors journeyed to Normal where they were defeated 6 to 0. This was the team that trampled on the locals in the home-coming game last year, so the lioys went hoping to get revenge for this, but did not have the punch at the right moment. Clinton was weakened by the loss of Westray and Anderson. Westray had a hurt hack, and Anderson was still out with a broken ankle from the Bloomington game. Bianucci was also ineligible. Normal scored early in the game lie fore the Clinton line tightened up, but they failed on the extra point. In the entire third quarter Clinton had the ball within the Normal 15 yard line. This was where Clinton could easily have won if we had had the two regulars in. The ball was (in the one foot line once but the Maroon and Gold boys could not put it across the last white line. Thirty-Nine MONTICELLO vs. CLINTON Clinton accomplished something that no other Clinton team had done in -J years, when they heat the strong Monticello eleven on October 25 on the Sprague field, and that was to win a home-coming game. I he game was an interesting one all the way through, neither team having much of an advantage. The contest was played mostly in the middle of the field, neither team threatening very much to score in the first half. This period ended with the score the same as at the start. 0 to 0. In the last half things looked very much the same until Westray gained 50 yards on two runs. Then Porter, our star halfback, caught a pass from Westray and headed for the goal line; he was tackled but he summersaulted across the goal line for a touchdown. The kick was not made. I he rest of the game was just alxnit like the first part and the gun sounded with Clinton in the lead the first time in two years. The Clinton looked much better than in earlier games. MOWEAQUA vs. CLINTON 1 lie Moweaqua boys received a sound thrashing at the hands of the Clinton lioys on November 2. The field was muddy and it was hard for either team to do much the first half. Although Moweaqua threatened to score two or three times, Clinton tightened up and held them scoreless the first half. The Maroon boys came back the last half with a strong determination to beat their opjxments. This did not have to last long, for Shaw, a guard, picked up a fumble for the first touchdown. I he next one came when W estray passed to Helm, an end. who ran 25 yards for another 6 points. The extra point was not made. Then Crawford received a long pass from Westray and ran to the three yard line where he was tackled. Andrews carried the ball over the line. Polston plaved his first game at end as Rhea was out with a sprained knee. Westray. Shaw, and Andrews looked best for Clinton. FARMER CITY vs. CLINTON Hard luck seemed to have it in for Clinton on November 11 when they played Farmer City. They led through most of the game, but in the last two minutes Trinkle received a pass for the touchdown. In the first quarter Westray was tackled behind the goal line when he had the ball and this gave the visitors two points. 1 hen near the end of play in the first half Westray ran 25 yards for a touchdown, making Clinton ahead 7 to 2 at the half time. In the third quarter neither team scored, but the Maroons were outplaying their opponents. But in the last few minutes of the game Farmer City took the victory away from Clinton. I he Farmer City boys had four downs and failed to make enough yardage. But one of the C I inton men was off sides and it gave the visitors an extra down. On this down Trinkle received a pass over the goal line for a touchdown. The point was made. INTON IA m LE ROY vs. CLINTON' The game with LeRoy on November 16 was the second in one week. This is something very hard on a team and besides the whole Le Roy team and coach was at the Farmer City game to scout upon Clinton. Le Roy was very weak on passes and several times after they had carried the hall down the field Clinton brought it back again by the passing attacks. Clinton was weak in the center of the line, more so than in the previous game. This seemed to be about the only way by which they could gain ground. Because their passes were usually incomplete, and their interference seemed rather weak on end runs, neither team scored in the first quarter, but in the second List and Brown carried over a couple for the visitors. But during that time, Andrews hit the line for six points. The last half proved Clinton to be just as weak against line bucks as before, and List scored two more times in the third canto. Westray carried over the last touchdown for the locals in the last few minutes of play. The final score was .33 to 13 in favor of Le Roy. Porter received a broken collar bone in the last minute which will keep him out of basket-ball for a while. EMrErcAii CLINTON vs. ALUMNI The varsity who had not yet got over the Pontiac tournament played “Keg Wilson famous “wonder five” of two years back. A large crowd was present as almost everyone wanted to see this team in action again. With the reds defenses working fine the famous cagers were held without a ]x int in the first quarter and half. Anderson made the first basket in the first three minutes to play. Westray soon followed with another. This made the Axel-son boys lead 4 to 0 in the first half. But the last jieriod seemed to be an all together different story. The Alumni finding they could not get through the defense of the reds, relied upon long shots. With the eagle eve of Karr. Woods and Hamilton the Alumni soon overcame their lead which they held until the gun was sounded. Although the locals fought hard they never were more than within three points of the “Wilson Five.” The gun went off with the Alumni leading 15 to 12. Westray was high point man for the varsity while Karr and Hamilton headed the Alumni scoring list. LINCOLN vs. CLINTON The Clinton quintet went to Lincoln to get revenge for their defeat in football. but the Lincoln l oys seemed to be prepared for this and won by an 18 to 9 margin. Lincoln has a strong team which was too much for Clinton, but they seemed to make several points on free throws nine in all while Clinton could not seem to connect with the hoop. There could not be much expected from Clinton this early in the season as the boys are still pretty green and need lots of practice especially in making free throws. Forty-One ON IA CLINTON vs. SPRINGFIELD Although Clinton heat Weldon in easy style they had not yet ! ecn in real competition. So they journeyed to Springfield to clash with the famous Mark Petermans five. The game was played l efore a crowd of about one thousand people. The game opened with the black clad hoys getting the hall. They used the slow break and seemed almost impossible for Clinton to get the hall. Although Springfield led the first quarter 2 to 0. the Axelson cagers trailed 3 to 4 at the half. In the last ] eriod West ray made two baskets which gave the home boys a 3 point lead. In the last quarter the Peterman boys gained a lead which Clinton was unable to overcome. The gun sounded and Clinton was behind 11 to 13. Westray. the only Clinton man who could even come close to the basket missed several easy shots from the free throw line and also jump shots. Peters and Westray played good offensive game. More practice seemed to be one thing Clinton still needed. CLINTON vs. MT. PULASKI Shaw proved to be tbe star against Mt. Pulaski when he tossed in a basket from the center of the floor to give Clinton a 20 to 19 victory over the visitors. Mt. Pulaski was the fastest team the Maroon boys have encountered so far this season, the score being 9 to 1 at the end of the first quarter. Clinton couldn't seem to hit the hoof until Peters, a snoffy little forward, rang up two points. This was what the Kxrals needed to start them off for at the end of the third quarter Clinton was behind with one point. Captain Westray opened the last quarter, giving the home boys a 17 to 16 lead. Stalling seemed to be the best thing then and were successful until Anderson of Mt. Pulaski intercepted a pass and made a basket. After a free throw by each side still left the visitors a one point lead. Hut just in the last few seconds Shaw made his famous shot from the center of the floor. Anderson and Shaw looked l est for Clinton and Westray was high point man with 10 points. CLINTON vs. WELDON Coach Axelson sent his Maroon clad boys against Weldon in the first game of the season. With both teams using a slow break it proved to be an exciting game throughout. With a few victories to their credit Weldon seemed to have the odds favoring them. They played on even terms the first half, neither team gaining over a two point lead. Rut Clinton came back in the last period, and lead by Captain Westray, ran a 30 to 15 victory over their opponents. The locals slow break though not yet perfect seem to work against the Nixon High boys. Westray and Andrews were high point men for Clinton while Dawson and Perkins contributed to the losers. The seconds l eat Weldon seconds bv a 22 to 3 score. Callison, Smith and Slusser were credited with five points each. Weldon scored 3 free throws in the last quarter. Forty-Two Front Row—Johnson. Helm. Andrews, Anderson. West ray (Captain), Shelby. Porter. Shaw, Peters, Slusser. Hack Row—Coach Axleson, Trobcugh, Morin. Vanover, Justice. Miller, Smith. Peters, Manager Lewis. CLINTON vs. MT. PULASKI The first half was fought on even terms, neither side being more than 3 or 4 points lead over their opponents. This period ended with the home boys leading 11 to 10. The last half seemed to l.e a different story and seemed to be more of a football game rather than that of basket ball, with Andrews and Westray leading the Clinton boys on defense. Clinton lead the Mt. Pulaski team up till about the end of the third quarter when Mt. Pulaski gained a lead that Clinton could not overcome. The game ended with Clinton behind, 28 to 22. CLINTON vs. WARRENSBURG Coach Axelson's preps won a narrow victory over arrensburg, which should have been almost a practice game for the locals but proved quite a different tune as both teams fought stubbornly to the end. The Axelson opponents used the slow break that seemed hard for the locals to break up. Although the Red clad lx ys lead 9 to 8 at the half they missed several easy shot which should have given them an easy lead. Coming back in the last peri xl the Warrensburg scorers could not break through the locals defence. Clinton got through' their opponents for several easy shots that went wild. N. Brown made a basket that gave arrensburg a one point lead. Westray dropped in one in the last minute anti gave the C linton basketeers a 12 to 11 victory. Shaw was high point man for Clinton. Forty-Three NORMAL vs. CLINTON Five victories in a row is the late record of Clinton High when it defeated Normal on Normal floor. Clinton won the contest by one of the greatest margins of the present season. The Axelson hovs gained an early lead by the scoring of Westray and Anderson. They succeeded in running up eight ]X)ints before Spencer of Normal tallied two points. This was the last time Normal scored until the third quarter. The score at the half was 19 to 2 although both teams had fought very hard. Normal was without their star center Taylor and one forward. Clinton ran up the score 28 to 2 in a few minutes after the half and a Normal player made a couple of free throws. With such large lead Axelson ran in his second string except McAboy who had a sprained ankle and could not play. The seconds showed up well, making four points to Normal’s eight. The final count was 32 to 12 in Clinton’s favor. Westray and Anderson each looped in 13 points to tie for scoring honors. CLINTON vs. BLOOMINGTON 1 he fast Bloomington team set the Axelson boys down to their second defeat in three nights on their own floor January 17. I he locals succeeded in holding the fast Bloomington five the first half playing a good offensive as well as a well defensive game, to a 9 to 8 in Clinton’s favor. Neither side seemed to be hitting the hoop very well but made most of their points from free throws. Argo opened the last half up by making a basket which gave the purple and gold scorers a two point lead. Clinton succeeded in getting within one point of their opponents but never could gain a lead. 20 to 13 was the score when the gun sounded. Clinton rang up just 2 field goals in the contest, these coming in the first halt'. They were held without a basket in the last half while Bloomington got 3. Porter and Andrews looked best for Clinton. This was Porters last game and he will be greatly missed by the team. LATHAM vs. CLINTON The Maroons suffered one of the worst defeats of the season when thev went down lie fore the strong Latham five. The blues played altogether different type of basketball to what it was when the teams met on the local floor. In the first game they used the slow break and stalled throughout the game, but the last contest proved to be a fast breaking offense, which took the boys by surprise. Latham gained an early lead which Clinton could never overcome. Clinton trailed three points at the half but came up within one point of their opponents as the second period offered, which was the closest Clinton ever got. The game ended with Clinton behind 23 to 10. Latham’s play was featured by Hildebrand and Billings. Billings gave 11 points to his team. All of the Clinton boys were off form and one looked about as good as another. The game was one made up of fouls. Clinton making 12 and Latham 11. Forty-Four HAMMOND vs. CLINTON The runner-up of the Piatt County Tournament came to Clinton on February 7, and it proved to be one of the most exciting games the Clinton fans had witnessed on the Clinton floor. Clinton could not get its bearing in the first quarter, while Burnett and Legge were ringing nine points for the visitors. But in the second quarter Clinton outscored their opponents 8 to 2 and this left the home boys trailing 11 to 8 at the half. In the third quarter Anderson and Shelby sunk seven counters for their team. Burnett kept rolling up the points for Hammond and the score was tied at the end of the third quarter. Then Westray opened up his attack and rang up four baskets that put Clinton ahead and here they stayed until the final gun sounded and were leading 23 to 22. The scoring was led by Westray and Shaw and Andrews looked good on defense. Burnett gave Hammond 14 points. WAYNESVILLE vs. CLINTON Waynesville lost to Clinton on the local's hardwood on Tuesday, February 11 in a one-sided affair, Clinton keeping a good lead all the time. Marvel, the big-shot for Waynesville, did not show up so well against a team that plays the Clinton style of basketball for he counted for only one basket and a free throw. This was Captain Westray's most successful night so he rang up 14 markers that gave him high point honors. Although Clinton beat, Waynesville played much cleaner ball, having just one foul to Clinton’s nine. The Axelson prep led most of the time, but the visitors scored the first point with a free throw. Helm and Peters both saw service in this game and each scored a basket. The gong left the Waynesville boys behind 21 to 33. LE ROY vs. CLINTON Clinton got revenge for-their defeat-in football on February 28 on the LeRoy floor by handing them a 23 to 10 defeat. 'The game was started off by Le Roy leading 4 to 0 the first quarter. In fact Westray. our high-scorer, did not get a shot. In the next period the Maroons outscored their opponents, but they still were trailing one point at the half time. As the game started off again it looked as if it were going to lie a scoring spree when Clinton looped two baskets and Le Roy one in the first two minutes. Clinton must have been just playing with their rival for the last eight minutes Clinton scored 13 counters while Le Roy looked on without a point. This was started when Westray made a basket and was fouled. He made one free toss, giving Clinton its first time to be ahead over one point. This was followed up by short shots by Shelby and Anderson. Shaw and Andrews looked good at guard. The final scoring was Clinton leading 23 to 10. Forty-Five CLINTON vs. LATHAM One of the most amusing and peculiar games ever witnessed in Clinton was played by the locals and their old District opponents of two years before. With this thought of having Latham knock them out of the District two years ago the reds started their opponents on the run in the first minutes of play, Anderson making a jump shot under the basket. This was the last time Clinton had hold of the ball in the first half. Latham did not take a shot or, except for one time, getting the ball past the center of the floor. Westray soon made a couple of goals which gave Clinton an easy lead over their stalling opponents. Hillings made all three counters for the visitors, these coming in the last quarter. Captain Eminch looked best for the blues. Lead by Captain Westray as high point man and the good offense and defence work of the rest of the team, Clinton outclassed Latham in every way. The final count was Clinton 11, Latham 3. WELDON vs. CLINTON The home team drubbed the Weldon five for the second time this season by a 34 to 21 count. The game was played on even terms for the first few minutes being five all at the end of the quarter. This did not last very long as Clinton made three baskets in rapid succession. While Garrett was shooting he was fouled and the ball was in the air when the gun went off and he made three points making the score 10 to 17 at the half time. Baskets by Westray and Anderson soon brought the score 21 to 10. The short fast passing of the Weldon team made it hard sometimes, for Clinton to keep track of the hall. Donaldson out-jumped Shelby several times which made it rather hard for Clinton to again get the hall. Westray succeeded in geting the most points for Clinton, 14 in all. He was well aided by his team mates especially Shaw who showed up well on defense. WARRENSBURG vs. CLINTON The hoys went through the season without a defeat on the home floor. The last of these contests was against Warrensburg who soon found Clinton their superior, and suffered a defeat by a 27 to 13 margin. Hargie Shelby played one of the fastest games of the season and also piled up the first nine points for the locals. He also got the tip-off most of the time, which proved to help the boys in gaining an early lead that was never overcome. The score at the half was 11 to 3. The second half proved to be just as much a walk away as the first although at one time the Warrensburg prep scored three baskets in rapid succession that brought them within a few points of the locals. Most of the visitors’ points were made by Brown who also started in the line up and played a neat game at guard. Westray was off form for the first three quarters as he was sick until noon of that day, hut scored eight points in the last six minutes to play. Shelby was high point man with eleven counters. Forty-Six N ION IA CLINTON vs. WAPELLA Wapella, the 1930 county basketball champions, went down to defeat at the hands of the Clinton five on the locals' floor. It proved to he a tough game throughout. Wapella threatening to rally in the last few minutes to play, but this was soon broken up by the defense work of the high-class Juniors, Shaw and Andrews. The visitors had a 6 point lead in the first few minutes before Clinton could get its hearings. Greene seemed to he the man that needed watching most and was held to a few points. Clinton led the blue-clad boys at the end of the half 12 to 8. They kept their lead throughout the rest of the contest. The end of the game showed Clinton 21 and Wapella 16. Westray was high point man. PCNTI4C TOURNAMENT CLINTON vs. U. HIGH (NORMAL) During the Christmas holidays Coach Axelson took his “five horsemen” to the Pontiac Invotional Tournament where they met U. High in the first game of the tournament. U. High winners of the first and fourth tournament was picked as a heavy favorite. U. High soon ran up the score upon the home boys as the locals defense was off and U. High was all anyone could ask. In the last few minutes before the half the Axelson quint made a rally and came from behind a seven point lead. In the last period neither team succeeded in gaining over a two lead over their opponents. With just three minutes to play the score was 19 up. But this was where the locals seemed to lie unable to stop the on-rush of Goff the star forward of U. High. The Normal preps had a 32 to 21 victory over Clinton when the final gun sounded. Westray was high and Porter, a stellar forward of last year playing his first game of the season, and assisted by Anderson played a good offence. CLINTON vs. HURST-BUSH Clinton has a team it should be proud of. Although they were off form in the first game, they came back and defeated three teams in succession which gave the consotation tourney. The locals sent Hurst-Bush down to defeat 11 to 10 in one of the fastest games of the season. With Hurst-Bush leading 7 to 0 at the half it seemed that Clinton was going to lose the goal that they had so hard fought for. Hurst-Bush opened the last half with a basket giving them a 9 to 0 lead. Then lead bv Captain Westray the Clinton boys ran up the score 9 to 9 before they could be stopped. Hurst-Bush got a free throw and Westray another basket lie fore the game ended. Westray was high point man with 9 points. Anderson contributed the other two. Captain Westray made second all-star team and also entered the free throw contest. Forty-Seven Iff TONI A CLINTON vs BLOOM (Chicago) Clinton won its way to the finals of the tournament by defeating the Bloom High School by a 18 to 16 margin. The game was fought on even scoring terms the first few minutes to play but the locals soon gained a lead that was never overcome. I'he Clinton five looked better on offense and defense than did their opponents. The high point men were Westray and Porter, while Shaw looked good on defense. Playing the game as Clinton did against Bloom they will prove more than a match for the winner of the Hurst-Bush and Libertyville game, their next opponent. CLINTON vs. TRKMONT Coming back to their usual form after a defeat at the hands of the U High five, Clinton won from Tremont 17 to 12. The game was evenly contested throughout with the score knotted at the half eight all. Then Clinton led the Tremont five by a narrow margin of 11 to 10 at the end of the third quarter. They ran up their lead in the first part of the fourth and stalled the game out. Anderson looked best for Clinton, and he also contributed eight points. DISTRICT TCCRNAMCNT MAROA vs. CLINTON Clinton drubbed the Maroa five in their first round of the District Tournament at Decatur on March 6. After getting away to a slow start the Clinton boys beat Maroa to the tune of 17 to 7. Clinton was so slow in getting started that Coach McKee's quintet led at the end of the quarter 4 to 0. The Axelson preps seemed to have the ball most of the time but could not score but one basket the first half. The last half proved to be an all together different story. Shelby and Anderson opened up with a few baskets and soon led the Maroa boys and were never headed. Maroa did not get but one free throw and no baskets the last half. Westray was sadly off form most of the game when it came to hitting the loop, but he did some good guarding. Anderson was high point man. The score was 17 to 7 when the gun sounded. STONINGTON vs. CLINTON Stonington and Clinton played the feature on Friday night as both of the teams were picked as heavy to go to the finals. Clinton got away on a good start making nine counters before Stonington got organized. Anderson dropped in a sleeper the first minute and Westray rang up the next seven. Then their opponents began to wake up and did not let the boys score but rang up three for themselves. The score at the half was 9 to 3. The Axelson boys did not come back to form again in the third quarter, but the Stonington boys kept slowly eating the Clinton lead until before the game ended with the score tied ten all. It remained in the same condition at the sound Forty-Eight of the gun. In the over-time Andrews was fouled and he made the free throw. Then Anderson dropped in a basket that cinched the game for the locals. In the last minute a Stonington man made a couple of free throws. This gave Clinton a one point decision, 13 to 12. Shaw and Shelby looked best for Clinton. Westray was high point man with seven counters. ILLIOPOLIS vs. CLINTON Clinton again repeated its feat of getting a good lead the first quarter. But as in the Stonington game Illiopolis had enough points at the end of the game to tie the score. Clinton led 8 to 6 at the end of the first half. When the game was resumed again Illiopolis got the ball. They started to stall while they were two points behind. But in a few minutes one of the Illiopolis men made the basket which tied the score. Illiopolis got the tipoff again and kept on stalling. They just stood about in the same tracks the rest of the quarter. The last quarter was just a repetition of the third. One thing that kept Clinton from getting the tipoff was because Shelby went out of the game because of a hurt knee. In the first over-time Illiopolis stalled most of the time, but Clinton did get hold of the ball as the over-time ended. This was kept up for five over-times. In the sixth and last there was a double foul. The Illiopolis player made his throw but Shelby, nervous and over anxious to make his, failed, and Illiopolis led 9 to 8. Something very peculiar about the contest was that Clinton did not score in the last half or in the six over-time periods.

We know the most satisfying joy of life—the joy of accomplishment. We know the most lamentable sorrow in life—the sorrow at parting. But we have chosen to ignore the sad and to recognize the joyful. Nothing is more beautiful than a strong, well-developed tree except a strong well-developed personality. In the beginning the seed of the tree is planted and surrounded and protected by the warm earth. But it does not remain so. Soon it reaches out and absorbs the life offered by the earth, sun and rain. It grows! The wind also aids in the creation and lays obstacles in the path of the tree’s growth to toughen its fibre, to make it strong. As the tree becomes more mature it reaches its arms upward to receive strength from the skies. Then after years of growth, care, and hardship the tree becomes an object of beauty—giving of itself to make happiness. Today we are completing our course at C. C. H. S. How like the tree we are! All the years of our lives we have been nurtured and protected in our homes and at school. Now we are grown taller. We have come out into life where the winds of temptation blow against us. Can we stand straight and true like the tree? The fibre that has been built in us will determine that. If we withstand the winds and lift our arms for support and inspiration from the skies we shall become beautiful like the tree and give happiness to all with whom we come in contact. The poet David has written: “He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water That bringeth forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” To all who have in any way aided us to come to this happy end of our high school career we express our sincere appreciation. Virginia Wood. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Members of the Faculty, Classmates. Parents, and Friends: We welcome you here today, while we. as a class, are assembled to bid a last farewell to Old C. C. H. S. We take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude and appreciation to our fathers and mothers for the sacrifices they have made to send us thru school, thus preparing us for the duties of life, and of citizenship. This debt of gratitude can never be fully repaid, but we can at least make the most of the opportunities given us as a result of those sacrifices. We have tried to appreciate the great chance for education that has been given us. and we have not pushed aside scholarship for extra curricular duties. Sixty-Two Today we have come for the last time as a class. It is a fitting climax to four happy and successful years in High School. Many friendships have been created during these four years, and they shall ever be cherished in our memories. Classmates, it is with a feeling of regret that I must say goodbye to you today because I have really enjoyed being associated with you. I wish to take this opportunity to commend you for your hearty cooperation in all class affairs, and for the way in which you finished anything that you started. I am happy to have been chosen as your president, but the thing I treasure most is that I am one of you—a member of the Class of Thirty. Though from today on we may follow diverse paths, there will be a memory common to all of us, and that is the friendships created during our four short years together in Clinton High School. Seniors, as we go out into the great school of life, where our course must be guided by our teachings and experiences in the past, let us strive to give just a little more than we receive, to trust that neither greed for gain, nor thirst for fame, nor vain ambition, may interfere with our activities as citizens, and let us ever be guided by our class motto “Build for Character, not for Fame.” Esco Rhea. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “Gee Mom! I'm just awfully sleepy. Do I have to go away upstairs alone? I wish you’d go with me.” “Well, sonny, I have quite a little work to do but I guess I can afford to take time off and tell just one bedtime story.” So Bobby and his mother quickly climbed the stairs and soon the boy was snugled into bed. “Now what kind of a story do you want tonight. Bobby?” “Aw sornpin’ real interesting—tell some of you and dad's experiences a’ courtin’.” “Why Bobby—well—er hem—why I think it would be much better to tell something like my good old times in high school, don't you?” “Wa’al! But you’d better hurry up or I'll fall asleep.” So mother quickly adjusted herself and then began. Once upon a time, well to be exact it was in the fall of 1926, on a bright September morning, school was almost ready to open when a great commotion was heard outside the doors. Mr. Su[ erintendent man, Mr. Robb, and the teacher lady. Miss Bulkley decided to go out and see what it was all about. And what should they see but a whole group of boys and girls wanting inside. Mr. Superintendent man and teacher lady brought them in and then explained the rules and regulations of the school. After they were all settled down in their places they chose as their leaders Lois Hull. Ruth Ingham, Georgia Edwards, Harriet Reeser. and Homer Gash. At first everything seemed so strange but they were soon doing their share in the work and also having .heaps of fun at picnics and parties. Bv and by when Springtime came their year’s work was finished and after a nice vacation— Sixty-Three And then what did they do?” interrupted Bobby. Why most of them came hack to continue with their work. And so, in their second year their names were changed and they were called Sophomores. They also had a new teacher lady, Miss Marshall to guide them about and also new leaders. They were Lois Hull, Richard Taylor, Homer Gash, Harriet Reeser, and Floy Parker. These boys and girls had learned how to work and were filling places in athletics, music and other clubs. And by and by their Sophomore year rolled away.” “Then what were they called, mother?” “Well, the third year they were called Juniors and they were allowed to have class officers. George Ingham was President, Lois Hull, Vice President, Ruth Ingham, Secretary and Floy Parker, Treasurer. This time their teacher lady was Miss Ross. They were all so busy working with their school paper, the Margol, their class play, and Junior-Senior Banquet and in no time that year was gone.” “In their last year there were about seventy girls and boys remaining because some had had other plans, and others just stumbled on Latin, English or some other subject and they weren’t able to get up from their fall. Their leaders this vear were, Esco Rhea, President; Dale Green. Vice President; Martha Henson, Secretary, and Callistus Gillen, Treasurer. Francis Gardner was Editor of their Clintonia with Delmar Murray as Business Manager. The Editor of their Margol was Lois Hull. Their class play, coached by Mr. Evans and with Delmar as business manager was a grand success. On Arbor day a tree was planted in the campus, there to stand as a memorial for the class of “30.” And from then on. with the leadership of Mrs. Scott, the Senior teacher lady, their work was soon coming to a close and they were preparing for their happy graduation days. And then—” But as she glanced around she saw that Bobby was fast asleep. Floy Parker.

CLASS PROPHECY Fifteen years from now. I am going to tell you of a tour from which I have just arrived home. I went to Clinton Air Port of which Milton Allyn is manager. While Bill Peters was warming up and checking over my plane I chatted with Milton. He told me that he was planning a trip to Alaska. I hopped off for Chicago where I saw a few of the class of ’30. I hailed a taxi and was very much surprised to see Edna Frances Gano driving. It seems she never had gotten over liking fast driving. We became so interested in talking that she ran past a traffic cop. We were given a ticket and told to report to the traffic judge. We went to the judge who was none other than Paul Oglesby. When he saw who I was he let us off but told us to watch out, for if we had to go before Judge Porter we wouldn’t get off so easy. During my stay in Chicago I went to see a football game. Coach Stagg had resigned and Kenneth Westray had taken his place. This made the game interesting. I heard a man behind me say that Kenneth was a very good coach. I didn’t get to talk to him because I wanted to be at Detroit by dark. At Detroit I saw many of my old class mates! Dick Taylor is testing cars for the Fords. I didn’t have much time to visit, but Dick told me what some of the others were doing. He said that he had finally won Edna Funk’s hand. Marietta Quaid is a head nurse at Detroit’s leading hospital. Virginia Hidden is also a nurse there. He told me that Harriet Reeser was trying to break Virginia Harmon’s record for parachute jumping. Sixty-Eight As I started to leave for Denver a hard looking man came up to me and asked for a lift. He was ragged, and he didn’t look as if he had shaved for a year. I asked him his names and he answered, “Frank Polston.” I was surprised, hut he said it was a free and easy life. He told me that Otha. his brother, had been disappointed in a love affair, and had gone to northern Canada to paint pictures and forget. At Denver I ran on to Robert Anderson who, by the way, is Mayor. He was feeling proud of himself for cleaning up Delmar Murray and his gang. From Denver I flew to Hollywood where I found some of my old friends. Jack Wagstaff is making a new picture entitled “My Unlucky Day.” His wife, formerly Ruth Ingham, is so jealous that she goes to the studio with Jack every day. They invited me to dinner and I heard from some more of my old friends. Evelyn Owen has become a whistling teacher. She also teaches canary birds to sing. Portia Gray, Edna Kileen. Nellie Hoff, and Selma Lane are Ziegfield Follies girls. Donald McLaughlin is assistant manager of the Follies. When I registered at the hotel that night I found Margaret Green behind the counter. A bell hop started to carry my suitcases. There was something familiar about her. and I soon found out it was Mildred Rainey. The next day I went to San Francisco. When I arrived there was a fire. A woman was about to jump from a ten story building. She jumped into a net before I got there, but I soon found out it was Georgia Edwards. The ] olice captain Frank Rundle was trying to keep back the crowd. He was waving his club in the most fantastic manner. One person was hurt and had to he taken to the hospital. It was necessary for ten stitches to close the wound. Kenneth Purcell performed the operation. After the fire I went to the dock to watch the ships. Floy Parker was just leaving on her honeymoon to China. I warned her about the bandits capturing pretty girls, but she wouldn’t listen. After the ship had sailed I walked down to the beach where 1 saw Oressa Lynch, Naomi Rees, and Frances Littleton. From the talk I gathered that they were watching for some rich young man to come along. They also told me that Vernice Klar was nearly drowned. She used this extreme way to attract the life guards’ attention. After seeing the sights in San Francisco I flew to Santa Fe. There was a rodeo so I decided to see it. I met Pauline Wantland and she said that she was living on a ranch. She told me to stay for the broncho riding. I was surprised to see Harley Armstrong bull-dog a steer. And was more surprised to see Mildred Tuggle riding a broncho. Ruth Glenn won the fancy roping contest. It seems this has become a kind of profession with them. They travel from one place to another just to win the prizes. I heard that there was to be a bull fight in Mexico City, so I took it in. A man dressed in bright colored clothes appeared and crossed to my side of the arena. Would you believe it was Harold Williams. The bull put up a good fight, but Harold was a good fighter and finally conquered. Sixty-.Xim- ON IA My next stop was at New Orleans where I met Maxine Williams. She said she had married a sailor who went away to sea and never returned. She is making her living by writing plays. She told me that her husband knew Viola Burns who is running a chicken farm in Australia. While seeing the sights I ran on to Kenneth Barnett who is in the U. S. Marines. He was about to sail to the Philippine Islands. I continued my inspection of the city. I heard someone whistling as if he were very happy. I looked to see who it was and was astonished to see Richard Evey sweeping the street. I asked the reason for his happiness and he said he had just been married to Ruth Parker. I continued my tour to Atlanta. Yertieille Ballance is house mother of an orphanage. She has about two hundred children to care for. From Atlanta I went to Palm Beach. There I saw Winifred Banner. She was a swimming instructor. Her business was so thriving that she had employed Helen Ferguson as her assistant. Winifred told me that Russell Jackson had just returned from the wilds of Africa where he has completed the best construction work known to history. T continued on my journey to Washington. Lois Hull is a Senator and is becoming famous because of her good advice and common sense. She told me that Claribel Griffith is Dean of Radcliffe College for young women. She is making quite a showing in her work, having turned out some famous social leaders. While visiting with Lois she turned on the radio. The President of the Radio Corporation was making a speech. He was none other than Esco Rhea. His wife, formerly Martha Henson also gave a short speech. While waiting for lunch I picked up a book of poems entitled “Love's Labor Lost” by Ella Schluneger. Lois also told me that Clyde Fiester was hunting out clues for Scotland Yard. The next day I flew to New York. While waiting for a taxi I noticed a large sign which read “Ladies’ Furnishings,” Wanda Wantland and Iva Webb were proprietors. They had a large store and were thinking of building another. That evening I went to Madison Square Garden to see the World’s Championship Boxing Match. Wesley Vanover refereed. While on my way back to the hotel I noticed a placard with a large headline. World's Famous Musicians, Virginia Wood and Ray Randall. Having plenty of time I decided to go visit Francis Gardner. He was about to startle the world with the discovery cf a new fish. Bernard Kolp had a laboratory joining Francis. He had just received a message from Mars. Bernard told me that Callistus Gillen was a Wall street banker. He made his fortune selling M. K. While in New York I read in the paper that Alice Landrith and Inez Shields were going as missionaries to China. Because of my business it was necessary for me to return home. Before I close I will tell you of the ones who didn’t get so far from home. Ruby Goin is a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. She is the highest paid reporter in central Illinois. Veta Smallwood is living on a farm east of town. Marie Sprague and Seventy ON IA Gertrude Scribner are running the cutest little tea shop called “The Blue Room. They gave it this mysterious name because they thought it would encourage trade from Wapella. Dale Green is no longer working at Hammonds. He owns a store of his own. Dessa Perkins married Harold Coin, and they are living in Birkbeck. Helen McHaney is living on a large farm cast of Craig. Dorothy Lighthall is married and lives happily in Craig. She seems very contented although I am not acquainted with her husband. She is working as secretary to the Mayor. You’ve been wondering what I am doing, why I am owner of the Maxwell Candy Company in Clinton and have been on a tour of the United States to advertise it. Frank Maxwell. SENIOR CHARGE Members of the Faculty, Friends and Juniors: As it is customary for the Seniors to leave a few words of advice to the following class, I will try to point out a few of your mistakes and a small quantity of your ignorance. For three years we have been striving to set an example for you to follow, and now, as a final word, if you will try to do just as we did (not that I think you can do it) yours will be the second best class ever to graduate from C. C. H. S. So listen carefully and take heed to what I say. My childish friends, your first mistake was in selecting your class president, Charles Andrews. Even he won’t go with the girls in your class; he has been seen several times with a certain Senior girl. Also he is so hard headed that he plays football without a helmet. Who is it that is still short of the 100% mark in selling Clintonias? Why, the Juniors, of course, they are always behind. We have the smartest class too. You haven't anyone to equal our members, Lois Hull and Virginia Wood. They are always at the top of the Honor Roll. Of course, you have Ah Phares. but he has been there so long he is just a fixture. You only have two so called athletes, Charles Andrews and Carrol Shaw. They aren't really good; they just think they are. Juniors, get wise to yourselves before it is too late. Why, you wouldn’t even have a class if it weren’t for your sponsor, Miss Ross. Your class didn't attend the athletic games as they should. A very low percentage turned out. Wouldn't the Junior girls like to have a Senior fellow? I know a few. Grace Langelier and Ruth Smith, for instance, who are doing their best. Analee Metz might he a good driver if she could only keep her mind off the male sex long enough to see where she is going. Juniors, you must admit that the Seniors are superior in every way. You will have to strive very hard to equal the standard set by the class of ’30. Scvnity-Onc Now Juniors, as a last word of warning, “Watch your step next year and maybe social activities won't be barred from Dear Old C. C. H. S.” My dear friends, please take no offense at what I have said, for it really is for your own good. We have spent three very enjoyable years together, and hope that next year you will all be back in C. C. H. S. enrolled as Seniors, and may you have as happy and successful a year as we have had. —Robert E. Anderson. JUNIOR RESPONSE Worthy members of the class of '30: Since it is customary for Seniors, upon class day, to offer advice to the Juniors, we. the class of ’31, accept it, also because it is the customary thing to do, and not because we think you are worthy of giving it. It is very evident and plain that, the Juniors, are much more capable of giving the Seniors advice. Your president, who is a farmer lad. during his Senior year, took special pleasure in staying in town at the home of the aunt. We wonder why? Surely not to visit the relative, nor to play nurse-maid to the baby. Out of sympathy for your class, the class of '29 left one of its members, in the person of Delmar Murray, to aid you in your Senior year, so that your class would not be the complete failure that was pending after the failure of your Junior year. The class of '31, the Juniors of today, pityingly gave one of its members, also, to help you, since they hated to have the name of a graduating class of old C. C. H. S. degraded by a failure. Dale Green, who is the Alexander Hamilton of your class, in better days, was a member of our class. What could you Seniors have done without the generosity and magnanimity of other classes who felt sorry for you? What will you do without these kind friends and teachers to help after you have left these doors forever? And this big. clumsy person who is called “Tiny” by many. A certain girl was heard to remark, “Well, he is the biggest ‘tiny’ I have ever seen.” And we are inclined to agree with her. Just this case alone shows the utter incongruity of ycur class. During your Junior year, were you as successful as our class, the noble class of ’31? No! A thousand times, No! Take, for instance, the Junior play. You know the degree of your success. It is too sari and pitiful even to be mentioned here. We will spare you that much. But ours! In every way ours was a great success. And. on account of that, there was no tax charged the Juniors on the reception. And then it was rumored around that several Senior boys took dates with Junior girls when they found that out. Cheap? We admit that you Seniors have had the upper hand in Athletics, but we Juniors have been represented since our Freshman year, and the Seniors only since your Sophomore. How about that for good and steady work ? The boys that are our officers are also athletes. This is a point in favor of us, don't you think ? It proves that we have all-around leaders. Can you say the same ? Sevent v-Two N ION IA There were several Seniors taking beginning shorthand and typing, but how-many w-ere chosen to represent our school on the Commercial teams which competed in the contest in Decatur? Not one! They were composed solely of Juniors. Do you Seniors ever stop to think that Juniors participate in almost every program given in the assembly? And for the pep meetings, the song leader was a Junior girl. Our good ability showing again. It was the opinion of all that the assembly hall was decorated more attractively last year than ever before. Who decorated it? The class of ’31. So of course, it was only natural that it should look well! When it comes to class cooperation, you certainly don't have a showing! We only lacked two of being 100 percent in our support of your Clintonia. Both your Junior and Senior plays were supported heartily by our class. But, only ten or twelve tickets to our Junior play w-ere bought by the Seniors to show their appreciation of our cooperation. What can you say to that ? In the Senior class there are tw-o outstanding students in the line of scholastic standing. But in the Junior class, there are several times as many who would stand any test given to them. As a whole the Junior class is remarkably brilliant. We must admit it. To prove it. several Seniors were taking Junior subjects, and several Juniors w-ere taking Senior subjects, and you may draw your own conclusions. You Seniors will be missed (in the wavs of pranks and wise-cracks), and we do w-ish that you may have all the success in life possible to such as you! —Charles Andrews. VALEDICTORY Parents and Friends: The time when we shall say goodbye to C. C. H. S. is rapidly drawing near. As has been said, our emotions are varied: we are both happy and sad. Still, it is our joy that is most evident today. Our regret and sorrow- will probably come later. As we look back, although we realize we might have done much better, we believe that our career as a class is not one to be ashamed of. As we look ahead to the future w-e are optomistic: we hope for the best. We believe that our high school life has equipped us with some knowledge, some experience, and some ability to accept and fulfill duties and responsibilities. Still, we realize that we have done only a very little toward preparing ourselves for life and shall, w-e hope, aways strive for more learning, more experience. We could not say farewell without a word of appreciation. The untiring efforts of our principal, deans, and instructors, the support of the board of education and our fellow citizens, the encouragement of our parents, and the cooperation of our schoolmates have all made the career of the class of 30 and this class day possible. We extend to you all our sincere gratitude. And now we of the class of ’30 say goodbye to C. C. H. S. We shall always remember with a great deal of pleasure the enjoyable and profitable years we have spent in this institution. Lois Hull. Seventy-Three C LAIX POEM C. C. H. S. I would be loyal to thee Through the years As I am loyal to thee now. Soon I will be gone! Others will come But never one who loves thee More than I. The symbol for thy name means to me Four happy years Of time well spent Four happy years in which Each nook and cranny of thy buildings Recalls a pleasant scene. In thy name, friendships have been formed Which, I hope, shall ne'er be broken, Learning absorbed which I hope May never be forgot, And ambitions aroused which I hope Shall e’er be kept aflame. To thy campus of spacious beauty. Thy trees in rich colors arrayed, Words do not do justice! ’Twould take a master hand To paint you as you are to me. ’Twould take words of which I have not the mastery. I can only say, “C. C. H. S. Reverently and in good faith I love you.” Orf.ssa Lynch. Sctcnty-Pour Miss Ross Mr. Robb Mrs. Scott PRINCIPAL From Mr. Robb we receive advice and training as individuals and as a group.

Keep away from them. Wear the loudest clothes possible and cause all the talk you can. It s a sure way to fame.
