Gould. Nolia and Zelma were giving the reasons for buying a Ford and Winita was -elaborating on the finer points of a Hup- Inobile. Qian- At last I arrivcd in my home town Green- ville, Ill. lt is the same old town and as flourishing as ever, with the same good o'd f'High. Review of This Year's Work By Amy Wilson T the first of this school year about two hundred students gathered in the as- sembly room, all supposedly for the purpose of acquiring knowledge. Some were short, some tall, good, bad or indifferent pu- pils. The boy or girl who came with a Cl8l l- nite purpose in view may have said to him- self, What will this year bring to me? Will it influence my life more than any other? Then to that person there came the determina- tion to live up to thc high stands of our high school. In the past year we have accomplished much, but in the achievements of our high school the alumni must be remembe1'ed. Some are serving Uncle Sam, some in college, and others reflecting glory in other ways on G. H. S. Nothing has tended to give us more enjoy- ment this year than the Victrola, which was given to the high school by the class of 1917. A record played before study hours not only tends to familiarize us with celebrated musical compositions but to add more enjoyment to our school life. Besides the victrola we have the benefit of the footlights, on the stage, which were put in by the seniors of last year. 'It is our hope that all the classes will keep up the past records. On the gymnasium floor our boys are the fleetest. Alva Smith, commonly known as Snig, seems almost an indifatigable player. Mr. Green, our competent! coach in athletics this year, helped make basket-ball a success. Did some one tell you Highland and Effingham defeated G. H., S. on our floor and on theirs? For further information just ask one of the star players such as Raymon Genre or Frank Chasey. Our boys were good losers as well as Winners. At all times they displayed the true spirit ofthe school and that of sportsman- ship. Mr. Long, our superintendent, inter- ested us in the Y. M. C. A. drive. His efforts resulted in raising three hundred dollars. We of the G. H. S. were very proud of this. By dividing the high school pupils into two sec- tions, the Y. Mfs and C. Afs, with Francis Blacet and Burl Hunter as captains, the inter- was made more intcnce and exciting, A bas- ket ball game and pie social were given in the gymnasium. The enthusiasm was marvelous. livery body showed his true colors and patriot- ism by giving money to this good cause. For the Red Cross benefit, the girls of G. H. S. made and bought candy. This was sold at the Bond County Institute and the proceeds amounted to about twenty dollars. The annual high school play entitled Private Secretary under the coaching of Mr. Ferguson was a great success. Who can tell what G. H. S. in future years can do with her brilliant actors and actresses who constantly take rart in the plays? Very many of' the The pupils this ycar were interested the Science Club and the Glee Club, organized under the supervision of Miss Sprowls and Mrs. Cannon. Both have been a great help and instruction to the members. ' As we look back over the past year in G. H. S. we think of all the pleasures, together with hard study, we decide that we have made great progress. 'Can 'we limit. progress in civilization, literature and colonization? The Seniors especially have benefitted by this year's work. Tucked away back in our consciousness there is a thirst for more knowledge and a desire not only merely to live, but to know that we are living intensely, and progressing all the while. in
