MISS ROSS, Junior Advisor Her duty is to guide the juniors and to acquaint them with the duties which will be theirs when they reach the stage of seniors. She is always willing to help with the problems of the students and we praise her ability. ■ 1931■ Page Ten •+ 4« T Cite Cliitfnitirt MARIE TRAINOR Home Economics; Nimble Finger Club.

HOOKER + + — 1931------- Page Twenty-one +- Cits Onttttjria Friends: Class paa tragram We welcome you to our Class Day. This is a happy day for us because it marks the end of our victorious battle for rudimentary learning; it is a sad one because we will soon sever the associations we have enjoyed here for four long years. Some of us will continue with our higher education, while others will begin immediately the struggle for a livelihood. May we ever keep fresh in our hearts the memories of C. C. II. S. We wish to express our gratitude to the parents who have made innumerable sacrifices in our behalf. But it is not with words alone that we can thank them. We have vet to prove by our actions that their dreams have not been in vain. To the faculty who have aided and encouraged us we owe a great debt. They have done much to prepare us for the life that is to come. And now as we stand on the threshold looking out over the years, we sincerely hope that we may perform creditably our duties in the future, and abide by the motto of the Class of ’31, “Live to learn, and learn to live.” •jjlrcsiiti'nt's WILMA KRIXG. Faculty, Parents, and Friends: Today is one of the saddest days that has come into the lives of the members of the Senior Class. We are now ending one of our greatest school careers, and for those who don’t attend college, it is the greatest. The members who go on to school will have a few more weapons to battle their way through life, while those that are ending their schooling today will be out into the game a quarter before the others. This is like the careers of two high school football stars who have just graduated. One is going to attend college and the other starts out playing professional ball. Maybe the one that attended college knows more about the game, but the one who gets out in it knows how it is being played. This makes them on the same level. Although today may be the saddest one for the seniors, it is the happiest, no doubt, for the parents, to whom we owe everything. Through your sacrifices, mothers and dads, you have made it possible for us to acquire something, which is longed for by many of the world today. That something, is an Education. I hope that as we go on through life that we think of the sacrifices you made for us, and that we make the same ones, or ones that are much better, to try to repay a debt to you which is a hundred times greater to us than any war debt. As I look out over the faces in the audience I pick out the ones who have helped the parents to mold our lives. Those faces belong to the faculty. Next to our mothers and fathers, it is you that have molded our lives to fit into the great machine of ‘Humanity’. The only way which we can ever repay you is by living the way you have taught us, and try to make you proud of us. Showing through our lives the success you have been in yours. The thing which is perhaps the hardest to say is to the members of the senior class. We have been together for four years; some of us have been together longer. During these four years, we have lost some of our original members but have picked up others to take their places. It would be much easier to do anything else than to say goodbye to you. It is probably goodbye for we won’t be in the same student body when we go on out of here. During these years we have spent here in this magnificent ‘House of Knowledge,’ we have been learning to live which composes the first part of our motto. Now as we go out into the world I hope we live; learning how things are carried on, and helping others. By this, upholding the other half of our motto: “Learn to Live and Live to Learn.” CHARLES ANDREWS. +■ —• 19 31 —- Page Twenty-two (Lhc (lllittiruria (Class 3 istimt On a bright, sunny morning in September, 1927, we, a group of 172 boys and girls, met at the port of C. C. II. S. where we were to board a ship “Education” and start on a cruise which was to last for 9 months. The ship was green but we were promised another one of Maroon and Gold for the next cruise. When we came to the port we soon found out that we were to have a captain to safely steer us through this perilous journey. This captain was none other than Miss Wynd. Then, she told us we would have to choose a crew so we chose Loretta Kirk, Charles Andrews, Dale Green, Marcella Bales and Charlotte Siffert. During this journey we had one party which was a St. Patricks Party. Everyone enjoyed it and was happy when the journey ended to have that party as a memory. September, 1928, started another voyage, the first one to he taken in our Maroon and Gold ship. This year we were given another captain whose name was Miss Marshall. Her crew was John Robison, Charles Andrews, Loretta Kirk, Helen Wright and Virginia Hollibaugh. This year our captain was very generous allowing us to have two parties, a Hallowe’en and a bunco party which were both huge successes. This year two of our passengers, Charles Andrews and Carrol Shaw, were shining stars in athletics which were held aboard the vessel. It was with heavy hearts that we ended this second voyage. On September 3, 1929, we started the third of our four voyages. This year Miss Ross was our guide but we were allowed to elect a captain and his assistants from the passengers of our ship. Charles Andrews was chosen captain with the additional duty of President when a meeting was held. His assistants were Lorretta Kirk, first mate. Elizabeth Nells Barr, keeper of the records and Merle Callison, purser. The biggest event during the year was the Junior Play, Miracles, which was directed by Miss Ross and ended with flying colors. We had two parties during the year, a Hallowe’en party and a Valentine party. And Oh! I must not forget the reception held in honor of the dignified Seniors. Then, in September, 1930, we, 72 Seniors, started out on the last voyage on our old faithful vessel “Education”. Our guide this voyage was Mrs. Scott who was a helpful guide in every way she could be. Our captain this year was Charles Andrews and his assistants Harry Macon, Carrol Shaw, and Merle Callison. As editor-in-chief of the Clintonia we elected Warren Karr and as business manager, Maynard Andrews. The returns from a chicken supper given by the P. T. A. and a Style Show given by the Senior class helped to make the year book a “bigger and better” one. During this last year the Seniors did not give much thought to parties but at an invitation from Mrs. Scott we had a Christmas party at her home on the night of December 17. The Senior class play “The Nut Farm” directed by Mr. Evans with Charles Andrews as Business Manager was a great success. After the play was over, we resumed our daily work preparing for those happy never-to-be-forgotten graduation days when we, the class of one thousand nine hundred and tbirtv-one, bade farewell to our ship of “Education” and to the old, faithful port of CCIIS VIRGINIA HOLLIBAUGH. +■ ------t il 3 t------- Page Tivcnty-three + +■ - CHtttmtirt + (Lliiss Will We, the members of the Senior Class of 1931, being of sound minds and bodies, submit this our last will and testament.

Witnesseth: Maynard Andrews Junior Witts --------------------------- ■ ■-------19 31-------- Page Twenty-seven --------------------------------CItr (CItttftttttrt-------------------------- (Llnss tr jjlti'rg I have been chosen, to herald unto you, this day, the fates of all our classmates in the years to come. I chanced to be in St. Louis, not long ago and as I was walking down the street one day, I came upon a large building with a bold bronze placque, with the inscription, “Adam’s Dancing School.” Just out of curiosity I walked in the building and there in the center of several young and charming ladies was my old classmate “Bob” Adams. Upon talking to Bob a few moments I found that Arrabelle Agee was conducting a school for more, and better speech. Loretta Kirk, I hear, started her business life as a call boy for the I. C. but soon hurt her throat and lost her voice. She is now an instructor at Jacksonville. While in St. Louis I bought a dress in Agnes O’Brien’s and Coyla Barker’s Women’s Readv-to-Wear Shop. From St. Louis I traveled to Chicago. One day I was walking down the street and met my old friend “Beety” Taylor. She told me that she was a matron of an orphan’s asylum in a suburb of that city. She also told me that Dorothea Williams lived in the same block that she did, and that she had been married twice and divorced. The last she married a millionaire and so is quite well fixed, financially. I had always known Dorothy so I drove out to see her, I rang the door bell, the butler answered the door bell, and to my surprise I saw the face of Abner Phares. Too bad. After “Ab” taking all those years to graduate that lie wouldn’t attain a more elevating position. I chatted with Dorothy a few moments and learned that her maid was also one of our classmates, Jane Ely. One evening T went into a shop in Chicago and over in a corner was Ruth Smith, who is now a leader of a large jazz orchestra in that city. Ruth was giggling and laughing as in the old days and I couldn’t blame her for being amused because Richard Hooker did look queer in his ministerial garb. I sat down at the same table and there happened to be several graduates from the class of ’31 present. The waitress at our table was Ella Mae Huff. Analee Metz was there and I noticed she could not talk. I remarked to Grace Langel-lier about it and she told me that one day Analee had become excited and caught her tongue between her teeth and bit it off. She plays the piano in some night club. Grace Langellier, by the way, has established a select slang school and is an artist at her profession. I received a letter from Helen Wright the other day and she’s a stenographer in a large garage in Lane, 111. Poor girl, she couldn’t attain the position she wanted badly and was forced to take second best. She also told me that Genevieve Jordan was married just recently and lives in Birkbeck. Too bad, everyone always thought her such a sweet sensible girl. She wrote that Ruth Alverson bad the honor bestowed upon her of being the first woman mayor of Clinton. 4-------------------------------------------X 9 3 1---------------------—------------------— Page Twenty-ciglil +' -----(TJtjj (jHuttmtitt---------------------— I went to Indianapolis from Chicago. You will probably be surprised to know that the manager of the hotel where 1 stayed, while there, was Virginia Hollibaugh’s husband. Marguerite Morin and Ordella Joplin are running a beauty shoppe in Indianapolis and they say that Russell Lampe is one of their most frequent customer. He told me that Frank Grimsley is a florist in Chicago. They say he is quite wealthy. He furnished flowers for all the gangsters’ funerals. Virginia’s husband told me about Charles Andrews. As you remember, Charles always went in big for sports; he took them as his life career. He’s some place in South America and is a very efficient coach of tiddley winks in a big institution. Charles Slusser is assistant coach. I read in the paper while here that Susie Irvine and Gladys White were going to China as missionaries. I spent a few weeks in Philadelphia. While here T visited Marcella Bales, who is one of the greatest emotional actresses of the day. She told me that Paul Justice is a real honest to goodness cowboy on the 101 Ranch in Oklahoma. She also told me that Sarah Littleton and Charlotte Siffert were both country school teachers in Arizona. I also learned that Maynard Andrews follies are quite superior to those of Flo Zeigfields. Somehow or other I had always pictured Maynard in this type of work. Oh, yes, and mustn’t forget Frieda-belle, she is a mannequin in one of the most outstanding shops in Paris. Since that vamp of a Helen Gilliland took Josephine Oakman’s husband back to Denver with her, Josephine has been forced to make her own living. She is adviser of affairs of the heart and home, for some Philadelphia paper. I also hear that John Robison is a life guard on a beach at Miami, and Edna Wade is his second wife. George Davenport is a scientific farmer someplace in the New England States. He is supposedly quite well to do. I went to Boston from Philadelphia by airplane. Merna Hawkins and Faye Manley were the aviatrixs. Geneva Shewmalcer lives in Boston. She’s head nurse of a dog and cat hospital. The first day I was in Boston T walked into a restaurant. I found Charles Alsup was the proprietor. He told me that Merle Callison is the tall man in a circus. lie also told me that Harry Macon is married, and many arc the quarrels between him and his wife as to what breed of chickens they shall raise. Daniel Smith is owner of a shoe shining parlor in Boston. I just finished reading Elizabeth Nelle Barr’s latest novel entitled, “Men Are Brutes But Oh How I Love Em!” She lives in Seattle, Washington and is quite a well known writer of the day. I was in Portland, Maine, a few weeks after leaving Boston. T happened to stop at the same hotel where Wilma Kring was staying, she a suffragette. +• + ----19 31------- Page Twenty-nine (Eh? (Ulittfntua She told me that Paul Warrick was an officer in the Army. Wilma took me down to a drugstore owned by none other than Harold Goin. The class of ’31 did turn out a few old maids after all. Mildred Koons, Elsie Stewart, Ruth Stoutenborough, and Ethel Mae Stivers, all live together and they say they have some wonderful times. While in Portland I saw Herman and Richie Roberts. They own a chain of grocery stores, that sell the things we eat. I thought that I would run up to New York for a while. One night I attended the opera and heard Wesley Vanover sing. lie has become known throughout the world for his singing. I went to see him and he told me that Sherman Buck and Oscar Hancock were in the movies. Julia Miller is also an artists’ model in New York. 1 attended a big baseball game while in New York and right next to me sat the Mayor of Hollywood, Ernie Ray. He was in this city on business. He told me that Warren Karr is editor of a paper in Omaha, Nebraska. And also that Carrol Shaw lives in Florida. He married a rich widow after playing a few years of professional football. Charles Briggs is a sports writer for the New York Times. He was always (piite talented in this line anyway. Ruby McCrory is a teacher in Charleston. South Carolina. T went back to Clinton from New York without making any particular stops. When I had stayed there a few days 1 had gathered some interesting bits about some of my classmates. I attended a class reunion. There was only a few of the old class there. Christine Qnerfield was there. You recall her great effort to become a musician. Well she attained her wish. She now plays a steam caliope in a circus. John McKeown is a dwarf in the same circus. Fern Myers was there. She teaches Home Economics in Decatur High. William Craig is now the Chemistry teacher at Old C. II. S. “Bill” Eagan is now President of the bank in Patoka. He always thought a lot of that old burg, didn’t he? Warren Karr is editor of the Clinton Daily Journal now. “Bob” Witts is a traveling salesman for some candy company. I always thought Bob would get a position that required a lot of talking. Conversation was always his main occupation. T suppose you have all been wondering what I have been doing all these years. I am head of a chain of dry goods stores, so have been traveling on business. Although our careers call us far apart in later years let nothing blot out the memory of the happiness and good times in our years at old C. C. II. S. VIRGINIA WILLMORE. +■ - 1951 - Page Thirty -----------------------------— (Iks (£litttxrrcict Cliftr$t As it is customary at C. C. H. S. each year for the seniors to give juniors some good, sound advice before leaving this campus, I will now endeavor to show you just how the class of ’31 excels the class of ’32 in nearly every activity. Give me your attention, class of ’32, and I will point out to you how we are your superiors. The first mistake you made was in selecting your class officers. Your president and vice-president will have to go to school four and one-lialf years before they even plan to graduate. Really though it wasn’t necessary for you to have a president since you have only had class meetings four times all years. We do hope when you become seniors something will inspire you to have class meetings more regularly. Of course we wouldn’t expect your class play to be as good as ours, for people knew our acting abilities were good before they came to the play. You remember, too, that our play was given at the Clintonia theatre where we were charged one hundred dollars for the use of the building, and still we cleared more money than you. Don’t get discouraged over what 1 have said and not even attempt one next year. In football this year you had more players on the team than we, but look who was the star of the team. lie was a Senior boy, Charles Andrews by name, who scored more points than all the Juniors together. We are expecting an excellent team from you next year, and why not, after witnessing the exhibition the seniors have given you this year. In basketball, four Seniors received varsity letters while there were only two Juniors. You remember it was a Senior who played the most quarters during the season. Although be was an importation, no Juniors were good enough to take his place. Maybe there will be some one you may import next year so that C. II. S. may have another great basketball team. Ordinarily we as a class don’t like to tell about the good things we do in life, but I think the Senior girls were very thoughtful in making a quilt for charity at Christmas time. I also think that it would be excellent if you Juniors would follow this example in charitableness. The first six weeks of this school year our class was one hundred per cenf in having no failing grades. Has your class ever reached this mark in scholarship? No. and you probably won’t because you have at least nine in your class who have been around old C. C. II. S. four years or more. It is like the old saving you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Don’t get down-hearted, dear Juniors, we really expect some of you to graduate next year. Look what the class of ’31 has done in the year of the worst depression ever experienced in this country. We have published an annual which is as big and good as any other class has been able to produce. We also have a new type of cover on our Clintonia this year. It is a suede back with engraving on it. Perhaps you may have a better year in which to produce an annual, and we the class of ’31 wish you all the luck in the world. We, the class of ’31, are passing out into the world, but before we leave you underclassmen, we wish to express our friendship. We have enjoyed working with you and we wish you a very happy and successful senior year and life after you have graduated in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-two. MERLE CALLISON. + — 19 31 — Page Thirty-one • (Eltc (Hlhthutm -+ Junior espouse We commend you, Mr. Callison, in your attempt to carry out the custom of the graduating classes in giving the Juniors some advice. We say commend for your attempt was very noble but weak. Not only the Juniors are taking longer to graduate but also some of your Senior permanent pictures have been here for five to six years. A Senior boy holds second place in taking the longest number of years to graduate. The saying “You can’t teach an old dog new new tricks” is ancient history; modern education states that “The older you are the more capable you are of learning.” Why glory over the success of your play, Seniors? The Junior class of ’31 put on its play during the worst known years of business depression. Instead of putting on an activity with much expense we charged according to the way the public purse appeared. The public received high class entertainment at almost cost. In football you say that in not having the most players on the team your star excelled the Juniors. The Juniors had seven players on the team. No doubt Charley Andrews was a star and an excellent player. The squad will feel his loss greatly; but Seniors, don’t forget it takes more than a star to make a team. That was a smashing, hard hitting team C. 0. II. S. had in 1930. Who was it that opened the holes in the lines and ran bis interference on end plays? Your answer could be none other than a Junior boy. Though in basketball a Senior scored the most points and played the most quarters, who was it that pulled the Illiopolis game out of the fire? None other than a Junior boy, “Bus” Helm. Having had our fun, I wish to say a serious word here. We have fussed and had many a good time together, Seniors. The Juniors are sorry to have you leave us but we, too, will follow soon and make room for others. May we always remain friends and both loyal to C. C. II. S. JOHN W. CALDWELL. • BaUiiictorii Agrees Teachers, Friends and Classmates: A young girl once sat down at her mother’s knee to be instructed in the art of needlework. Spread out upon her knee was a dainty piece of linen. In a small basket by her side there were several skeins of brightly-colored thread and a needle of infinitisimal fineness. Carefully she pulled threads under her mother’s patient guidance. Each color she selected to harmonize with another. As night came, she ceased her work and went to enjoy her friends. When another day came, she cheerfully took from her mother’s great chest her small basket. After opening it, she took out the linen, some thread, and her needle. Again she worked carefully and painstakingly, taking each stitch with care. She was careful to make each line in the proper place. After a while she grew tired and again took a brief rest. With renewed vigor she began again on her work, her mother helping her as before. The general background was now completed, so the girl started to embroider the border. This she made as beautiful as possible. She ransacked old boxes and chests in an effort to find a new and pleasing pattern. When it was found, she began her work. She sewed patiently and swiftly. At last the border was completed. Her fingers were tired, so her mother bade her rest. When she started anew, her task was the difficult one of inscribing a verse. This verse was one taken from the Bible. It had been taught to her by her mother. She had taken this as her motto to guide her through life and to mould her character. With careful fingers she made each letter as our teachers have carefully shaped our minds into a semblance of intelligence. Each lesson they have taught us as the mother patiently taught her small daughter the art of making her samples. And now, before we go, let us faithfully inscribe upon our hearts the motto which the little girl inscribed upon her handiwork: “Study to show thyself approved unto God; a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” ANALEE METZ + +• — 19 31 —— Page Tliirty-lhree Cite (Llitthutm mint 3s C. $L. p-.r What is the C. II. S. we speak of? The C. II. S. we love? Is it the stately buildings, the campus With the blue skv-roof above? Nay, we sing not our soug to the buildings; It is not these we toil for here. There is an intangible something Which we revere. To me it is the spirit Of those who’ve gone before; The love of the many who Have passed through C. II. S.’s door. It is the hope and pride of mothers, And dreams of fathers too, It is the substance of all the things We ever hope to do. So when we leave this C. H.

Our council consisted of Marian Wood, Guinevere Reed, Lawrence Jones and John Caldwell with the Honorable Charles Anderson at their head. It would be a gross exaggeration to say that Freshmen are ever socially prominent but we managed to have two parties that year. May 31,1930 With ranks somewhat thinned out, we, the class of ’32, appeared on the scene for our Sophomore year under the supervision of Miss Marshall. Guinevere Reed, Marian Wood, Merle Edmiston, Lawrence Jones and John Caldwell. To the Margol staff we presented Cherry Lewis and Raymond Brown. Our sacrifice to tlie god “Athletics” was Hargie Shelby, Bob Miller, Bob Johnson and Bus Helm. Not so bad. In fact, not bad at all. Since really intelligent people are never very much on society and the like, we only bad one party. You guessed it— “—and a good time was had by all.” May 31, 1931 At the helm this year are President John Caldwell, Vice-president Charles Anderson, Secretary Mercedes Myers, Treasurer Marie Bennett and a council which consists of I don’t know who or what. Again the Margol profited—this time by Bob Johnson, Marian Wood, and the Juniors’ gift to women—Charles Nichols. Tlie Junior play “Oh, Kay” co-starred Eleanor Simpson and Guinevere Reed in the lead roles. A truly marvelous Chinese Reception was given for the unappreciative Seniors. Well, anyway, we liked it! Let’s drink. Juniors, to the time honored and difficult goal which we have set for our next, and last year—catching up with “Doc” Hooker.

After many games of hearts and other kinds were played, refreshments consisting of pineapple ice and cookies were served. There were no members of the Faculty present except Miss Ross, although two mothers attended. The party lasted until about 9:30 SENIOR PARTY The Senior Class party was held at the home of Mrs. Scott on the evening of December 16. Many of our gallant Seniors lost much of their dignity and self-control under the influence of that horribly exciting game of “Pig.” Pity the poor noses. However, if the game became too devastating, it was quite comforting to the nerves to sit calmly back on the davenport and listen to the radio music. After the entertainment, sandwiches, potato salad and cocoa were served. It was all mighty good, but the girls really shouldn’t take “Whitey” Slusser’s food from him. Then again, it was very embarrassing to think that two of our Senior boys would indulge in a race to see which one could eat the greater number of sandwiches. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On November 7. 1930, the Class of ’32 produced their annual Junior Class play. Tryouts were held the latter part of September by Miss Jessie Cline of Wapella and Miss Ross, Junior sponsor. The play was presented in the Washington school gym. Members of the cast were: Warren Schafer, John Caldwell, Guinevere Reed, Eleanor Simpson, Marian Wood, Florence Reid, Delores Reynolds, Camilla Spencer, Charles Harp, Marie Bennett, Helen Givens, Frank Watson, Wilbur Simpson. Charles Anderson, Lester McKinney, Harold Thorpe, Lawrence Stone, Margaret Hoge, Evelyn Shepard, Milton Cline and Lawrence Jones. A double cast was chosen, with the exception of one character, one cast playing the evening of November 7, and the other Saturday, November 8. SOPHOMORE HALLOWEEN PARTY What could be more fitting during the month of October than a real spooky Halloween party? Nothing, decided the Sophomores, so they put forth their best efforts and succeeded in having a very delightful party on October 29. It was held in the gym, and all came masked, then it was up to the members to guess who the others were. Prizes were received for the best costumes. The entertainment provided by D. Parker, E. Musson and F. G. Stewart was thrilling to sav the least, but the entertainment decided upon by S. E. Alwood, L. Richardson and J. Armstrong, consisting of pumpkin pie with whipped cream and cider, did their part in adding to the success. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen decided on December 18 as a fitting time to hold their party, so at 8:00 o’clock in the Gym 92 Freshmen and 10 faculty members gathered for a rollicking good time. Immediately upon the arrival of the guests, the entertainment committee, with L. Andrews as Chairman, took charge. Many games were played, and when the time came to serve, the guests were divided into groups of four. The last four to discover their partners had to perform a stunt for the rest. A small, artificial Christmas tree, gaily decorated, was placed at one end of the room. — 13 31 — Page Fifty-five ■ dhc (Elittiutria +—-— — 1931 — Page Fifty-six + Otc + Back row, left to right Buck, Strange, Robinson, Purcell, Johnson, Gideon, Justice, Gibson, Coakley, Gash, Coach Axelson.
