EGINNING WITH THE discovery and settlement of the American Con- tinent, education has made a continuous and triumphal march. Our civilization has always stood for the up-building of human society and the elevation of the race. No state has added more to this advance in civilization than our own beloved Illinois. Illinois can feel a just pride in the wonderful strides she has made in almost every phase of her history. An ideal school system is the great basis for the development of better and more efficient manhood and womanhood. The firm and unyielding Pil- grim Fathers, who first settled this community realized the need of an educa- tion for their children. There was much discussion and the matter finally cry- stallized into the high school movement, which practically began on March I, I866, when an editorial appeared in the Bureau County Republican advocat- ing a high school in Princeton. The next week a letter appeared in the same paper from H. Bryant. Three weeks later the general plan for the es- tablishment and support of the proposed high school was formulated and given to the public. This document gave seven reasons why Princeton should organize a high school and was signed by F. W. Waller, George Crossley and Mathew Trimble, school trustees. The seven reasons given, were as follows: I. The absolute necessity existing for a High School. 2. The impossibility under the existing state of things to carry into practical effect any systematic grading of our schools. 3. The demands of the time require the establishment of a High School, and it is the earnest desire of a large portion of tax payers that such a school should be provided and maintained under the best management and facilities for its successful career. 4. The time has come when a High School House can be built without imposing any serious burden on tax payers. 5. A High School will be of incalculable benefit to the town and surrounding country, and will be, when in operation, in a great measure self-sustaining. 6. The establish- ment of such a High School district is not in conflict with the spirit of the school laws, and has the sanction and hearty approval of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. That all necessary local legislation can be procured, at the next session of the legislature, to carry into effect, and legalize, any proper action the town may adopt. 7. That the school will be of equal value to the citizens of the towns, and a source of just pride and satisfaction to all. A meeting was held at the court house on April 21, IS66. It was well- attended and the sentiment in favor of the High School seemed almost unani- mous. A committee of seven was chosen to carry out the plan. The following named gentlemen were selected: Rev. F. Bascom, T. Thompson, Chritz- man, S. C. Paddock, W. C. Stacy, J. H. Bryant and J. V. Thompson. Another meeting was held April 23, IB66 in regard to raising money and to decide the size and architecture of the new building. The legislature passed an Act on February 5, I86 7, which placed all the land in Princeton Township and any Page Ten J LJ E ,Gi Eg if L Q5 , E E Q LX si an iiiifmjigiii D T' I3EiiEEil2W?5i:7J Yr land that may be added in the future into one High School district and appoint- ed the first board of education, consisting of John H. Bryant, Rev. F. F. Bascom, Jacob Chritzman, Mathew Trimble and George O. lde. The building and fixtures were completed at a cost of about sixty thous- and dollars, and would accommodate three hundred pupils. The money was raised by the sale of township bonds, some of which were sold here, some were taken by the contractors, while others were taken by Mr. Bryant to New York where he raised S30,000. All these bonds were redeemed as they fell dueg one year the sum of 520,000 was raised. The campus comprised about ten acresg the sum of S1200 being paid to l. Carpenter for the south half of the school lot, and four or five years later S1200 more was paid to secure the entire block for school purposes. The High School of Princeton opened its doors to the public in Septem- ber l867 with I30 pupils and H. L. Boltwood as principal. This was the first township high school in the state and was organized under a special charter. The provisions of the charter were so complete in every detail that the school has been successfully carried on under it since without any further change. Among the men who were most active in establishing this High School and whose names appear upon the records as committees and managers of the enterprise, we would mention: John H. Bryant, Flavel Bascom, George O. lde, S. G. Paddock, Mathew Trimble, J. V. Thompson, T. Thompson, W. C. Stacy, jacob Chritzman, F. W. Waller and Dr. George Crossley. All these now sleep in the city of the dead, but the result of their labors lives on, and here we may say: Men die but institutions live. ln I894 the building was remodeled and enlarged and was then a thoroughly modern and up-todate school in apparatus and equipment. lt had three laboratories and a catalogued library of many volumes. Commercial and domestic science departments were added to the course, and so it stood in every respect a model institution of learning. During the summer of i908 the building was again remodeled to meet the requirements of a greatly increased enrollment. The study hall was en- larged to nearly double its former capacityg the laboratories were made larger and were equipped with new furniture of the most modern kind. Two new recitation rooms, and two large cloak rooms were also added. The entire building was redecorated and made as attractive and cheerful as possible. lt would at this time accommodate four hundred pupils. The lawn with its stately elms and maples gave ample room for all kinds of athletic sports. School life seemed much better now and every year young men and women graduated from Princeton High, destined to go out into this great world of ours and make their own way. As the years went by the number of pupils gradually increased, until the number attending reached the four- hundred mark. The library grew larger and larger with every year. There were books for almost every occasion. The people realized that next to the accumulation of honest and respectable friends comes the reading of good books. Friend- Page Twelve 5 ' 0 ji!

After the world war an election was held to decide upon a S250,000 community house, which was to consist of a large gymnaisum for school pur- poses and other occasions, but the bill was defeated. ln spite of the fact that there was a need for more room, everything was going along nicely when on Monday evening, December l 5, l924, fire broke out in the library, which soon spread throughout the entire building. The fire had gained such progress be- fore the arrival of the firemen that nothing was removed from the burning building. The next day, Dr. O. J. Flint, President of the Board of Education, reported that insurance policies aggregating 572,000 partially covered the loss. lt was the greatest fire loss sustained by any single blaze during the his- tory of Princeton, and its origin still remains a mystery. The loss of the old building fell upon the community as a public calamity. The next year and a half school was held in the City Hall, Postoffice, and the Swedish Mission and Christian churches. Every student and every member of the faculty gave the best sort of co-operation. This fact explains the fact that the school carried on successfully in spite of its great handicap. immediately, after the destruction of the old building, the plans were laid for the construction of the new one. At this time the members of the Board of Education wereg Guy A. Bryant, Richard M. Skinner, Dr. O. J. Flint, Camilla Ferris, and David Pamp. The contract was finally given to Anton Zwack of Dubuque, lowa, and soon the new building was in its first stage of development. Days that seemed like years rolled byg when, at last, on September 27, I926, the doors of the new building were opened to the eager students. The old red school house is gone and in its place has come a great, modern educa- tional building. The cost of the building including the furniture was approxi- mately S400,000. It is 300 feet long and l00 feet wide, providing accommo- dations for twenty class rooms, and a well-equipped gym, which is 80 feet by 40 feet in size. There are also showers and lockers for the gymnasium classes. The auditorium will seat one thousand people, the large stage is in- closed in gray, with a gorgeous curtain of blue and gold. Although we can never replace some of the wonderful editions of the old library, we know that the new library, which has been started, will far surpass the former, in value and in comfort. There are chemical, physics- and botanical laboratories. On the third floor there is a general science lecture room, which is fitted for pro- jecting pictures. The new school is a beautiful structure and Princeton resi- dents are quite proud of this new temple of learning. Every boy and girl by this modern plan of education is challenged to attain leadership in study, in athletics, and in school activities. There is scarcely a single youthful ambi- tion that is not incited to real accomplishment. Boys and girls respect it be- cause it grips their lives. So to the tradition of the old is added the vision of the new. -Laura Clark, '27 Page Sixteen ...'ff4 Wi qu Jn gf, f.,- vu, iv- - --AW ---'-,--- ---I T- N 4 .. .Aff f ' Y' iff if ,X 'f X .

Sophomore Historq Dear Polly Pep: Papa Pep and l are so proud of the little Peps. They are Sophomores this year you know. Everybody was so excited when school started in the new building this year. lt's a wonderful place for the Pep family. They met at the first of the year and elected the following Peppers: Ruth Bohman, President, Mary Alice Smith, Vice-President: Hazel Nickelsen, Sec- retaryg Marian Webb, Treasurer: Art Miles, Yell Leader. The Peps are very active in school affairs. Quite a few are out for foot- ball and basketball, and we wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that some of next year's stars are of the Pep family. There were Sophomores in the one-act play, Rich Man, Poor Man g there are Sophomores in debateg and there will be sophomores in the operetta. Their president spoke before the assembly one morning, urging the Peps to attend the declamatory contest,-and they didl l know she made a fine speech because l heard it myself. Papa Pep and l are always present at assembly.

Right merrily did they quake and quiver when a Shaffer opened the gates and bid them enter. After the ball was started rolling they picked a marshall and his staff namely: Warren of the House of Fox, jack the Black, a country maiden sur- named Rabe, and a Margaret of Swartsley. Right well and quickly did they perform their odd and simple duties. It is a custom among clans and tribes to have great gatherings and feast till dawn. Consequently this motly crew repaired to the fortress and threw a party in honor of a certain hallowe'en and many were they who did trip the light fantastic for the first time in public. But alasl Fire destroyed the fortress. But with help of Owen they survived and blossomed out a happy gang of Sophs. just a year later in another September there came bustling, jumping and running down the Place of Main this same group of what-they-may-be. They found themselves to be shiftless and lazy so they chose a crew to spur them on. The general was a Lillian of the Orchards while her carefully chosen help- ers were: Son of Peter, again the Margaret of Swartsley, and Huffy from the Acres. There appeared upon the gridiron a certain warrior carrying the monicker of Albin who did excel in guarding and the already mentioned Huffy did quarter at his best. But the majority of the talent was holding out beacuse they knew it would not be long before the Juniors' ranks were to be refilled and comparison between a Junior and a Soph is ridiculous. Two years from the month that the brave but pitied freshies stood upon the drawbridge above the moat of the old building, these same freshies en- tered the halls of a new and spacious bulwark which had been built by Anton the Zwack. The newly born juniors gasped and wandered in amazement about the premises of this mighty castle and happily though slowly did they find their haunts of study. After all was said and done a new and welcome leader was chosen, the aforesaid Huffy from the Acres. His assistants were of the slow but willing type and long did they think of things that would be enjoyed by their fellow classmen. The wonders of the staff were besides the lad of the soil: a Rich Fuller, a Ted who excelled in Bailing, and the same Son of Peter who was once before a leader. The rolling proved to be easier for the majority or the coming genera- tion although a few had fallen by the wayside and right bitterly did they repent. Finally when june came there came forth a tickled bunch of stu- dents, for had it not been prophesied that a year from date they were to be the leaders.

Senior Class Historq What have we here-another ignorant mob to train? exclaimed the dignified and haughtily aloof Seniors. And they glanced coldly at the new horde of bewildered, frightened Freshies. And we, terror-stricken infants -clutched more tightly our registration cards and rushed about trying to find our appointed rooms, hoping that we would not unwittingly fa!! for the schemes laid by upper class jokers. Such were the impressions we gathered from the hestic jumble of our first day in high school. After choosing Ear! Lewis for president and getting the class organization under way in a business- like manner, we resolved to banish all suggestions of timidity and so we soon became the bane of the teachers' existence with our insistence and petty triiies. Since the lofty upperclassmen seemed to regard us in a better light when we kept our place we tried to obey their haughty request by studying patiently and diligently throughout the year. Only once did we rest our weary brain and then with a Ha!!owe'en party. Everyone came, disguised in strange and unique creations, and prepared to join their classmates anew in the social whirl. Vacation sped all too quickly for degenerated gray matter and we erst- while Freshies returned from the green pastures of pleasures to the hard- packed path of knowledge leading to that precious scrap of white parchment, -so ful! of meaning-one notch nearer to our goal and qualified for the title of Sophomores. This time Freddie was our chosen leader. Anxious for a foot- hold in the whirl of school life, a chosen few accepted with alacrity the oppor- tunity to be initiated into the Latin club and those desirous of future fame as authors and actors became members of the Scribblers. What a flurry of ex- citement prevailed in the late winter months when it was whispered that we were soon to have a banquet! Committees were appointed, an adequate place provided, and everything made into readiness for a gay evening for the sup- pressed and studious Sophomores. Bits of conversation could be distinguished from chattering groups as She is! Who with? ' 'Formal dress? and then the momentous evening arrived! Party frocks blossomed forth in dizzy dis- plays of rioting color, enjoyable new, but secretly causing much discomfort. And then the Sophomore Sight Reading Contest! A goodly number contested for the honors, but Cal and Margaret Elaine over-topped them and came in for first place. That night, too, we displayed our talents as actors and actresses in the play, Neighbors Janice starred as heroine with Dan as the fond lover. Then more studying, hasty cramming, finals, and Sophomore days were o'er. Juniors! Throw out the old! Make room for the new! We down- trodden underlings began to see the dawn of a new day and threw out our chests in anticipation of our we!! earned heritage. The year started off swiftly under Helen Harrauff's able leadership and soon so many activities engulfed us that we scarce had time to come up for air. Shortly afterward we traveled Page Fifty-one , w Ci iiE'E?EEi -jsgiieglswfrxfn Yi out to Alexander to meet the faculty with due formality and learned of each Miss, Mister, and his wife. Junior Day also was soon at hand and with it came a long and lonesome walk home from the neighboring suburbs for sev- eral of the male members who fell prey to the avengeful hands of the mighty Seniors. The Junior Declamatory Contest brought to light the oratorical sup- eriority of Freddie and Margaret Elaine who carried the judges' votes. The week's festivities culminated in the First Annual junior Prom held at Alexan- der Park. An evening of fun and frivolity was enjoyed by all, not the least excitement being created by the bright and brilliant futures planned for the members of this most truly illustrious class. With the comnig of spring and election time the members of the class rose to claim the distinctive positions which they were to hold throughout the following year. Eugene was chosen president of Hi-Y, Freddie of Scribblers, Margaret of the French Club, and Faith head of the Latin Club. Bertie was elected captain of the foot- ball eleven in its muddy battle of conquest and honor. Along side the revered and aged Seniors, Freddie Steady, Eugene Finn, and Margaret Simon took their places as members of the National Honor Society. ln order to com- plete the ,lunior Year with due respect to time-honored custom the Seniors and Juniors met again at Alexander Park and a while later journeyed to Rockford where the Senior-Junior picnic was held. Arrived at last! The once humble Freshies have climbed painfully the rocky path of Knowledge and now stand with expanded craniums on the green but treacherous heights of bliss as Seniors! Eugene Finn and an able group of assistants were chosen to put over our many projected activities and follow- ing the faculty reception at the beginning of the year we started in with char- acteristic energy to make a sucess of the Lyceum and the Tiger, James Moran, as editor, and Freddie Steadry, as business manager, can be counted upon to make the annual publication a howling success this year. As the year draws to its close honors float down upon the shoulders of the deserving ones. To the Honor Society's roll are added James Moran, Laura Clark, Helen Anderson, Faith Huntington, Donald Sloan, and Margaret Elaine Sweitzer. The Senior play, Bah, and its cast have also been chosen. Neeva DeVault is Babu with Margaret Elaine, Helen Harrauff, Freddie, Ralph, Palmer, Dan, George, james, Ruth, and Maxine to assist her in its able dramatization. Commencement speakers also have been chosen and requested to search deeply in the annals of literature for an oration subject. Freddie Steadry as valedictorian, Margaret Simon, Salutatorian, and Faith Huntington. Donald Sloan, Josephine Washburn, and Eugene Finn as president of the class are those who will speak on the tenth of June. lt won't be long now wafts in on the breeze as the first signs of spring appear and dallying Seniors are seen treading the weary path to the library to write belated themes. Now comes the days of the cool mornings, the absentminded study halls, the Junior- Senior picnic and then--? Whither are you drifting? caution the teachers, vainly striving against the momentum of spring fever -and then we lie back and float-we know not where-and lapsing into absymal dreams come to the month of june.

Some of them made good this year and others got some valuable experience for future teams Out of this motley crew our great mentor, Doc Nance, whipped into shape a team worthy of representing the Princeton High School. The season opened with a boom, by defeating the experienced team of Sterling High, 6 to 0, on our home field. This brought strong hope to the fellows and they were determined to beat LaSalle, our next foe. The game was close and hard fought. It ended with the score, 6 to 3, with the blue and gray on the short end. It was! in this game that the real power and the true fighting spirit of the Princeton foot- ball machine was shown. ln the next game with Mendota the team was not up to par but managed to struggle through with the fight with a scoreless tie. A pleasant suprise was given to the Princeton fans when Coach Nance's machine, consistently fighting for a touchdown, defeated Streator, 7 to 6. Streator this year had one of the fastest teams in this part of the state. Ohl then comes the sad story which will be very short. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: Spring Valley beat Prince- ton, 53 to O. ln a close tussle with Monmouth the game ended with the score of I3 to I2 in our favor. The next game with Geneseo, our old opponent was anybody's game until the final whistle when Princeton nosed them out with a 20 to I2 victory. The football season was brought to a close on Thanksgiving day by a mud battle with Kewanee. At the close of the game the Blue and Gray warriors were on the short end of the score. Again the old tradition between the Turkey Day rivals, giving each a win every other season, was upheld. After looking back over the season, viewing both the good and bad points, we find credited to Princeton four victories, three defeats, and one tie. So when many of the fellows hang up their football togs for the last time in P. H. S. they can think back in future years of how they closed a successful year representing the old Blue and Gray on the gridiron.

Captain Bertie played a stellar game at guard but when a plunging back was needed he could perform equally well in that role. ALBIN ANDERSON, Guard, Captain-elect. Andy was always steady and reliable. When he pushed, all before him moved. l-le was a valuable asset to the team and in his last year should be classed as one of the best in this part of the state. He is well worthy of the captaincy of next year's squad. RALPH JOHNSON, F ullback. Cupie's pep and iight instilled new determination into the Princeton team on many occasions. He was always there when an extra kick was all the encouragement the line needed. THEODORE WILSON, Tackle. Ted could always be counted upon to deliver the goods and as a line- man, couldn't be beaten. Pg Slty 55215251 - X: REUBEN LUNDBERG, End. Pete was one of the fastest ends in the country and could always be counted upon for the extra punch when it was most needed. DAN RUSSELL, Tackle. A sure, aggressive tackle who played havoc with the opposing backfield, smashing through and smearing the play before it got started. BERYL LONGMAN, Encl. Although light, Bal with several years of experience behind him, de- veloped into one of the mainstays of the team. His opponents soon learned that he was a sure tackler. WARREN ENYART, I-Ialfback. Stub was brought to the light as a triple threat man in the Streator game. From then until the end of the season he was one of the main cogs in the Princeton machine. I'gSty w o issigfensv i- jsigiggammsl X. rv. HAROLD WARD, Center. He was always in every play and a sure fine center. He always put the ball where it should go and was a tower of strength on defense. JULIUS SANDBERG-End and Halfback. A player who when called upon could either play end or halfback. His playing was especially characterized by hard tackling and lightning plunges. WILLIAM BATSON, Guard. The rock of Gibralter has nothing on Bill. He piled up the opposition and made his position impregnable. JACK BLACKBURN, End. Although greatly handicapped by a lack of weight Jack was a little fighter and always there when called upon. Pg itvt Q Yi CLIFFORD HUFFAKER, Quarterback. With one more year in which to strut his stuff, the Mouse , a clever and fast general should run circles around the opponents. THEODORE BAILEY, End. He was great on defensive playing and was adept at snaring passes. He could always be counted upon to deliver the goods. Next year he should be an all star end. FOREST BLACK, Halfback. ln his first year of football he became one of the team's mainstays. His educated toe accounted for the points after touchdowns which meant victories for our team. LYLE KASBEER, Halfback. Monte was out to every practice and with a few more years of ex- perience, he should be one of the best halfbacks in the country. IgSLytI Q Q 5523521 ein L' QSEXQEBEQWQQTQ Xa E FREDERICK STEADRY, Yell Leader P-r-i-n-c-e-t-o-n, Princeton! At every game the team knew that the student body was behind them when they heard Freddie lead the Prince- ton Locomotive and many other inspiring yells. JOSEPH BARTLUM, End. joe developed into a speedy and hard tackler. He was a fighter and always dependable, playing his position well. RICHARD FULLER. Dick with his preseverance and skill, should be one of the mainstays of the team. FRED RUSSELL. As a center, Fred made his mark on the Freshman team and in future years should be a main cog in Doc's football machine. DONALD NANCE, Coach. With an inexperienced squad and a schedule which included the best teams in this section and even a state championship contender, Doc pro- duced a team which rated four victories, three losses and one tie.

The prospects were anything but rosy as not one of the candidates had ever participated in a high school game-some had never even witnessed a court contest. Facing these odds the squad was cut to the sixteen most promising boys and intensive drilling was started. Playing the first game with Ottawa on December 19th, the Blue and Gray were easily defeated. There were no Holidays for the squad as they earnestly bent their efforts all during the vacation to iron out the rougher spots and thus present a more formidable line-up. The boys demonstrated marked improvement in each successive game and just when a fairly good team was in the making two of the outstanding regular players, Symmonds and Mayberry, withdrew from school, thus leaving two weaker gaps to be filled in a weak team. Successive defeats were administered by Geneseo, Marseilles, Hall Township, Kewanee, and Mendota, but the boys were not without their glory. They tried continually and were never once accused of laying down even though outclassed by more experienced opponents. An idea of their improvement as they practiced along may be found in the following scores: On January 14, Hall Township beat them 51 to 10 in their iirst meeting. On March 4, in their second clash, Hall won 25 to 15. On January 25, Ke- wanee won 19 to 7 on the local court and on February 21 Princeton was leading the same team 19 to 18 with ten seconds to go, when a Kewanee forward dropped at long one as the gun went oil' to let Kewanee win 20 to 19. At Mendota, February 1, Men- dota won 28 to 10 and on February 19, Princeton beat this team 36 to 20. Marseilles won 40 to 9 on January 8 and on February 6 they were hard pressed to a 22 to 17 vic- tory. These comparative scores of the games with the same teams clearly indicate the improvement of the Blue and Gray as the season progressed. Early in the season there was no floorwork and no guarding-all the points being made via the free throw route. Later in the season there was a semblance -of Hoor play in defense as well as attack. While the ability to sink them improved the boys lost many of their attempts to register as their range was just a tride off. However, in any one of the later games more baskets were scored than in the first six games combined. It takes a strong heart to face the odds these boys did and be defeated regularly and still never quit at any time but instead come back for more. Their willingrress to attend long and numerous practice sessions should be appreciated by the student body. They were giving their best and the more cmoral victories fif there are any moral victoriesj they earned, far overbalanced the losses of the games. They lost by scores but won admiration of all by their dogged determination to carry on. With a year of actual competition behind them, the Blue and Gray will face brighter prospects in 1928. With the return of Captain Bailey, Ex-captain Huffaker, -Stevens and Ward, all letter men, and in addition Brown and Kasbeer of the regular 1927 squad a nucleus is formed for the 1928 squad. The losses of Finn, Sandburg, and Bryant, letter men, will be keenly felt, as will the graduation of Adams, Coddington, Blackburn, Sloan, and Prince, members of the 1927 squad. A host of Freshmen and Sophomores will bolster up the 1928 squad to some extent. Page Sixty-six . xe iiiifene l- N6 I V Basket Ball Squad Back Row:-Batson, Sloan, Clark, Prince, Longman.

Chippie Forward Although the midget on the floor in every game, Chippie had an un- faltering eye for the basket. ,With another year in which to strut his stuff he should be a world-beater. THEODORE BAILEY, Captain-elect. Ted Center Ted was late in coming out for practice but when he did he soon won a permanent berth on the team. Next year, as captain, he will undoubtedly lead the team through a winning season. EUGENE FINN Gopher Forward Tall and lanky, Gopher was a tower of strength over his opponents and could be counted on for a basket when it was most needed to buoy up the spirits of the team. JULIUS SANDBERG jebba Guard Jebba was all over the Hoor at once and his opponents had a hard time breaking through his defense. The fact that he was in practically every jump proves his fighting ability. 1 g sin ugm 13iE3iEr4 f - Efgisgsxeiaugfa HAROLD WARD Fat Guard Holding down the hardest position on the team, Fat played a strong defensive game. Our opponent's loss of many a score can be laid to Fat's ability to snatch the ball at the opportune moment. WINSER CODDINGTON Bunny Guard, Forward Proof of his versatility may be found by his adjustment to any position on the team and playing in a faultless manner. JACK BLACKBURN John Forward, Guard Handicapped by his size, John was, nevertheless, the speediest little man on the squad. He 'iran circles around his opponents on many occa- sions and came through every encounter with a do or die spirit. HAROLD STEVENS Bill Forward Bill was right there with speed and an eye for the basket and next year, as a veteran, should be one of the main cogs of a winning machine. PgSty iifirgigsi F jigiigiglwiisrgfi YL EUGENE BRYANT Gene Center, Forward ln any position, Bryant was a valuable man, shooting with accuracy and jumping on a par with taller opponents. illness forced him from a regular playing position in the latter part of the season. LYLE KASBEER lVlontie Guard lVlontie's advent on the court was marked by his iniative and stamina. A bright future is predicted for him if he carries on with the same degree of regularity. WHITTIE BROWN Whit Forward With much enthusiasm Whit entered the basketball season and his ardor was never cooled during the entire year. Great things are expected of him next year.

S. HE TRACK SEASON opened with a bright outlook in the spring of l926. Stratton, Princeton's versatile athlete, led the squad through a success- ful season with his own sprinting ability as the main feature. The veteran stars of the previous year were sadly missed but Stratton, Cole, Batson, and Diller formed a nucleus for the I926 team. With the addition of Clark, Huf- faker, Aldrich, Finn, Blackburn, Coddington and Ward, a well-balanced and successful track team was developed by our mentor, Doc Nance. The high point of the season was reached when Stratton and the relay team shared in the honors at the District meet at LaSalle. Another pleasant event was the Big Nine meet at Moline but due to the inexperience of the team at this early date, Princeton was contented with places won by Cole, Huffaker, and Stratton. The season came to a close with the Annual County Track meet, and, although not as successful as in years gone by, the Princeton squad staged a stellar perfor- mance. Among the most promising of the under artists for l927 will be found to be: Huffaker in the pole vault and broad jump, Coddington in thet dashes, Blackburn in the middle distances, Black 'in the dashes and broad jumps, Clark and Longman in the topping squad, Finn and Ward and Miller in the weights, Batson in the distances and a host of recruits who will bolster up the veterans in several events. While as before mentioned, the 1927 squad will lack individual performers of merit it will present a balanced team that will total more points in the end. The squad will have the advantage of pre- season work indoors, which was sadly missed last year when the weather caus- ed many postponment of outside work outs. The coming season promises a more balanced team, and, although lack- ing the scintillation of Stratton, there is no reason why Princeton High should not be proud to claim it as their own. The calendar for the year's events has scheduled probable dual meets with Streator, Kewanee, Mendota, and Hall, and the Annual Big Nine, District, and County meets. With this and ad- ditional lnvitation meets, Princeton will have plenty of opportunity to show her ability in track.

We have our fun. The follow- ing class functions have been held throughout the year: junior-Senior Party Senior Carnival Freshman Party Sophomore Banquet and Party Senior-Junior Prom Senior-junior Picnic JUNIOR-SENIOR FACULTY RECEPTION Friday evening, November 5, found a gayly lighted and equally charm- ingly decorated high school awaiting the arrival of the Junior and Senior classes and their guests, the faculty. This was the first social event of the year so everyone was here with plans for a rollicking good time. Mother Goose Tales were first on the program and Caryl Harrington, Blanche Frasier, and several other prominent Juniors took us all back to the happy, pleasant days of childhood. A grotesque but realistic interpretation of The Death of Little Eva was presented to us by George Clark and Paul Elder. This was followed by the Faculty Beauty Contest which, to the great sur- prise and delight of the audience, was won by Miss I-loward, effectively im- personated by Darl Lafferty. Dancing in the Library and the upper corridor, and cards and games, the main features in the gym, constituted the rest of the evening's program. Of course, the cooks were there with pumpkin pie and whipped cream for the majority and a special apple and ice cream diet for the football fellows. SENIOR CLASS CARNIVAL Oh boy, that Hall of Horrors was a good one. That shock you got almost knocked a fellow down. So spoke one person who indulged in a visit to that place. What did you get when you went in that booth with the tele- scope? One person would say a bad black eye, another had black smeared all over his face. The big hit of the evening was the Minstrel Show, put on by four of the Senior Boys-Dan Russell, Darl Lafferty, Palmer Skoglund and Warren Enyart. Another drawing event was the show put on by two of the Post Graduates, Why Girls Leave Home? Did you see the operation. Well you missed something if you didn't. The Hot Dogs were good. Every- one had a good time, and there was a big crowd here too. The carnival was held on January 7 in the School Building. THE F RESHMAN PARTY On February eleventh the Freshmen held their class party. The first part of the program was held in the music room. The entertainment of the evening included an orchestra. and a chorus in which several promin- ent freshman girls took part. Piano solos were played by Orie Husser and Phyllis Schroeder. jean Blackburn arrayed in a ballet costume gave a splen- did toe dance. Phil Batson read The Sad Fate of Yim Yohnsonf' Page Seventy-three tass1ssE35E'i4R - jsgisiisssiwafn xr. After the program in the music room was over, everybody adjourned to the gymnasium where games were played. The class was divided into groups, which were named after Universities. Each University put on a stunt. Northwestern University won first prize. They presented a i923 Ford , made up of all the boys of that group, while the girls were occupants of the car. The Ford would run for a while, have a flat tire, run out of water and gas, and then the engine would break down. Charles Pieri won a paiir of binoculars, two half-pint milk bottles wired together as the first prize in one of the contests. Several other games were played and a mock wedding was put on, in which Hannah Diller was the blushing bride and Norman Wil- son the lucky young man. Last, but not least the refreshments consisting of delicious ice cream, cake, candy and peanuts were served in the cafeteria. -Harold Cook i..lli-i1 SOPHOMORE PARTY AND BANQUET The Sophomores, dressed in their best, came to their first real party on March l8th. When the Sophomores have their banquet, then all mem- bers of the class know that they are full-liedged Sophomores. The tables were decorated with Lavender and Silver ribbons and Laven- der candles. You can imagine how fine they looked. The Banquet was held in the Cafeteria, and some of the Freshmen were allowed to come and serve. We wish we had been able to help them eat it. Doc , as everyone calls him, and the committee consisting of Grace Smythe, julia Wetherhold, Donald Mercer, and Eugene Lamb were responsible for the very interesting program. There was an Address of Welcome by the president, Ruth Bowman, and Mr. Shaffer gave the response. The three sponsors, Miss Austin, Miss Kienzle, and Doc gave short talks. Helen Louise Challacombe and Dorothy White gave readings. The Hula-Hulu Pan- tomine was acted by four boys, Fred Russell, Eugene Lamb, Arthur Miles, and Donald Mercer. The Grand Finale was the orchestra, and all those who did not dance played Bunco. . SEN IOR-j UNIOR PROM This year the big affair for the Seniors and Juniors was the junior-Senior Prom on May 20th. This dual class party was started two years ago by the classes of i925 and '26. As usual it was a great success. A good orches- tra was secured and the eats were fine. Everyone enjoyed himself immense- ly. The Seniors has an exceptionally good time for they remembered this was the last party for them as High School Students. 1 SENIOR-JUNIOR PICNIC Most everyone knows that it is the custom of the Princeton High School to have a Junior-Senior Picnic. On this day, the Juniors and Seniors: are excused from school, and they go to some place away from Princeton. Last year they went to Rockford, to a big park. Everyone enjoys himself on this day and as it is the last time for the Juniors and Seniors to be together they have a great time. lt is quite an eventful day for the two classes. This year the picnic is to be on June third, but the place has not yet been chosen. Page Seventy-f 1 Yi Plaqs and Proqrams Because of our new auditorium we have had this year an unusual number of good programs, plays and operettas. THE JUNIOR PLAYS On Friday evening, October 22, the Junior class presented three one-act plays. As this was the first entertainment in the new building, there was a large audience. The plays were directed by Miss Mary Glisson who gave them much time and thought. The scene of the first play, Brothers in Arms was laid in the North woods. Richard Fuller as an energetic young business man, Lucille Scott, as his beautiful but dumb young wife, and Charles Fawcett and Warren Fox as backwoodsmen, were all entertaining. The play was clevely worded. ln the second play, Not Quite Such a Goose , Caryl Harrington and Glen Unholz gave an amusing picture of modern brotherly and sisterly affec- tion. Mrs. Bell, their patient and long suffering mother, was portrayed by Margaret Swartsley, while James Ennes and Vivian Rabe as friends of the Bell children were also interesting. The fun of comedy kept the audience in continued laughter. The third play Station Y. Y. Y. Y. was of particular interest because the actors were faculty members. The scene was in a modern home in which Mrs. Shaffer was Mrs. Winstead: Mr. Mortenson, Mr. Winsteadg Anita, the older sister, Caroline, the younger, and Herbert, the kid were played by Miss Howard, Miss Gray, and Mr. Fleming. Mr. Welsh gave a very realis- tic picture of the bashful young lover. Miss Austin and Mr. Martin were also in evidence as the maid and chauffer. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this play. THE DEDICATION Thursday and Friday, November l8th and 19th marked the high point in the history of P. T. H. S. The taxpayers and the public were in- vited to inspect the edifice that replaced the oldest township high school build- ing in the state of Illinois. The portals were flung open and the people had the liberty of strolling through the spacious halls. Many acceptd the privilege and reported that it was the finest high school building in this section. To give P. H. S. an inspiring atmosphere, dedication exercises were held on November l8th in the high school auditorium. The Board of Educa- tion and Principal O. V. Shaffer, to whom, we as P. H. S. students are so grateful, again took their places on the stage as representatives of our beloved institution and for the principles for which we stand as a school. Dr. H. E. Hieronymous, community adviser at the University of Illinois, and Dr. Wm. McAndrews, Superintendent of the Chicago Schools, delivered the main addresses at the dedicatory program. Dr. Hieronymous, familiar with the educational history of Princeton, spoke on the subject, Princeton Points the Way. Dr. McAndrews used as his topic, ln the Procession. To break the trend of thought, there was music by the high school orchestra and chorus. Many noteworthy gifts were presented to the school and words of appreciation and acceptance were given by members of the board. Page Seventy-tive .A Q 135235255 H f- j3E3,gEELg?DfQ:f1 X51 One of the high points in the evening's program was the dedication of the Steinway Grand Piano. The solos were by !Vlr. Price of Ottawa and Henry Jackson, '26, of Chicago. All who were present were convinced that with such a firm foundation, such efficient guidance, and such high and noble principles, the Princeton Township High School is now ready to achieve its goal of a greater educa- tional influence in this community. Success is its mainfest destiny! -G. L. V. '27 ON E-ACT PLAYS Smash Bang-boom bah !-we are at the movies! No fooling! On December 3, i926 we were at the movies with Harold Pettee represent- ing the man in the end seat-Harold surely didn't forget to bring his many bundles, including fruit and especially bananas, with him. Ah! but that wasn't all-didn't people have to come in all the time and didn't this person have to pick up all his bundles? Yes-sad but true! Well anyway this small sketch did all it was intended to do-it created merriment for all. Then, yes, we were in jail. Horrors! Yes we were! We were conduct- ed there by lV!r. Belden and his helpers. This second play was Release, a tragedy by E.. H. Smith. Then, yes, we were in jail. Horrors! Yes we were! We were conduct- as our drab little working girl. Surely this is a good way to end an evening's entertainment and it was really ended thus for this evening. Our own high school orchestra furnished the musical selections. That was alll i ....m.. THE ART EXHIBIT On March 2-3rd, the Scribblers Club of the High School gave an Art Exhibit. The pictures that were exhibited were loaned by the Colonial Art Company, and the Club took charge of the Exhibit., Copies of some of the most noted modern paintings were exhibited at the School. The public was invited and a great many people attended the exhibit and enjoyed the pictures. With the money taken in from the Exhibit, the Scribblers club is going to buy pictures for the various rooms in the building. OPERETTA This year on April Sth, Mrs. Simmons and her Glee Club presented an- other beautiful Operetta. Last year you remember they presented The Wild Rose with Lola Mae Trimmer as the Rose, This year the Operetta was the two act musical play Sylvia. The scenes are laid at the home of a farmer. The farmer's daughter Betty, taken by Lorraine Peterson, is bored and tired of her life. She would like to change and be a court lady. When Betty is day dreaming of court life, Sylvia, Helen Harrauff, comes along. Sylvia is tired of the life of the court and would like to change places with some one. Betty and Sylvia change clothes. When their lovers come, Betty goes off with Sir DeLacy, Stanley Turnbull, the lover of Sylvia, who is al- ways writing poetry. Sylvia, dressed as a farmer's daughter, goes her way with William, Dan Russell, Betty's Lover. You can easily imagine what hap- pens. Finally they come out all right and William and Betty make up. By this time Betty is willing to be a farmer's daughter, while Sylvia is glad to re- turn to the court with Sir DeLacy. The Operetta with its clever acting and catchy songs was a great success Page Seventy-six 1 Yi SENIOR CLASS PLAY, BAB Bab, or as her mother would have us call her, Barbara Archibald, is a charming young sub-deb who is the center of attraction for all the young gentlemen of her acquaintance and the apple of her father's eye. Need we add that she is also the object of her mother's terrified amazement. Leila, her older sister and a recent debutante, is continually provoked by Bab's insistence that she is truly grown up and should have her own boy friends. Between Carter, an old friend of the family, Eddie, a young fifteen year old neighbor boy: Guy, the reality of her conceived fiance: and Clinton Beres- ford, an Englishman whom Leila loves, Babu has a difficult time deciding who is the man for her. However, with Leila and Beresford safely married, and Jane and Eddie on extremely friendly terms, the story ends happily when Carter returns to claim Babu as his sweetheart, no longer as the demure, sub- dued sub-deb but as a very charming young lady, with her party dresses cut V back and front.

DECLAM. On the evening of December IO, Princeton was host to the boys compet- ing in the Big Nine Boys' Declamatory. The High School Orchestra played the opening number, and later, while awaiting the judges decisions, the Glee Club sang. Our representative this year was Freddie Steadry. The various schools placed in the following order: Geneseo- Number 6 Rock lsland- The Man and the Song Moline- Clanging Hours Galesburg- You Never Can Tell Kewanee- Little Gentlemen Princeton- Anonymos ' 7 I Canton- The One-legged Goose Monmouth- The Money Spider East Moline- The Freshman Fullbacku ,l,l .1-1 BIG NINE PLAY CONTEST February I8 was an evening long to be remembered by all present at the high school auditorium. Three, one-act plays were given by three high schools, the plays appearing as follows: Kitty Clive given by the Kewanee High School. lt was a cleverly acted play of the l 7th century in which a young actress humbles an egotistical young country actor who considers himself the height of perfection. The cast consisted of three characters: Kitty Clive, the actress of Drury Laneg ,I im Bates, the provincial young actor: and an inn keeper. A play of Dutch origin, My Ladies' Lace, was presented by the Gene- seo High School. lt was also of the l7th century. The stage setting lent atmosphere and the characters were sincerely portrayed. The nature of the plot was: the young daughter of a merchant is to be forced into a marriage against her wishes: she flees to her nurse and they plan a trap in which to catch the young mang her father finally agrees and, when the young man comes to purchase lace for his prospective bride, he so enrages her father that their marriage is forbidden, and the girl is once more happy. The third play, Rich Man, Poor Man was presented by a cast chosen from our own student body. Caryl Harrington played the leading role with George Clark, a sedate senior, her faithful and patient suitor. The scene took place in a Chicago thrift shop much, frequented by poor foreigners. The twelve people of the cast contained some of the real ability, to use the language of the play. We didn't think they,hacl it in 'em. But Doris Ericson, a Swedish Woman, and Dan Russell, the darkey janitor, certainly have it and can put it across. The judge was, Mr. Alexander Dean of the Northwestern School of Speech. He had coached every one of the plays given. The first play, he said, was by far the most difficulty the woman's part, especially. The second play had a foreign atmosphere which was difficult to create. The difficulty of the third play lay in its many characters of different nationalities. He judged the plays on the basis of four points which were: the literary value of the play, casting of characters, stage setting, and the acting. Mr. Dean cast his vote in favor of the Princeton play. This decision came as a fitting climax to an evening of delightful fun. We had been shaking in our seats, wiping away tears of laughter and straining our ears not to miss a word and then we had the added delight of first place. Page Seventy-eight iiiiifgg' 5 f- j3E3iE331i2Z'V-'wifi Y' The one-act play contest has not yet been definitely decided upon as a permanent feature of the contests, but the decision will be made this spring. The other three schools competing this year have not as yet reported. The present situation is that Princeton has either first or second place among the six that did compete. COUNTY CONTEST. On April 29th this year the County Contests will be held here in Prince- ton. The Dramatic and Musical sections take part in this contest. The County is divided into zones, and the different members of a zone get together and hold their contests, and then the winners of the zones com- pete in the County Contest. The County Zone Contests are to be held on April l9th. The County Contest is always held in Princeton. The different contests are Girls' Humorous, Boys' Humorous, Girls' Dramatic, Boys' Oratorical, Boys' and Girls' Extemporaneous. ln music the Orchestra and Glee Clubs compete. On May 27th the County Track meet will be held at the Fair Grounds. All the schools of the County are entered in this contest. BIG NINE DEBATES. Each year the Big Nine Schools hold a series of debates to decide the leadership in forensics. All nine schools work on the same subject and pre- liminary elimination contests are held within the three zones, as in the proposed play contest. This year the question pertained to an educational department in the President's Cabinet and Princeton met Geneseo and Kewanee in the First contests. This year the first Big Nine debate held here was on March 2. The judge gave his decision to Princeton. But on the same day our affirma- tive team lost to Mendota. On March 4, the affirmative lost' again at Ke- wanee, and for the second time our negative team won, their opponents being from Geneseo. THE LYCEUM COURSE This year the Senior Class decided to give our friends something really good. Last year an excellent course of four numbers was put on, but this year an even better one of five numbers was presented. This is the firs-t time a Lyceum Course has really made good in Princeton, and the Senior Class is quite proud to think that they were responsbile for its success. On the evening of Nov. 24, 1926, the first number of the Lyceum Course was attended by a good crowd. The program was liked by everyone. Mr. Kater was very amusing. He gave a lot of funny jokes, and his work as a magician was extremely good. He even showed us how he could take a ball out of his vest pocket, having before shown us that there wasn't one there. Of course, he did numerous card tricks, which were all very clever. We hope to have the Katers back again. , Page Seventy-nine Yi .f3 Qic-Maiisiugisi n T' Egisigislsifml E On the evening of December l4, l926, it was the pleasure of the Senior Class to present Mr. G. Whitfield Ray-F. R. G. S. to the patrons of the Lyceum Course. Mr. Ray is the only man who has crossed the continent of South America on foot and horseback, and was the first white man to venture into some of the unknown territories of Brazil. The stories of his experiences while living among a tribe of Lengura 'lndians were very fascinating, and convinced his audience that he was a fearless man, and possessed of great endurance. Leak's Orchestral Entertainers was the third number on the Senior Lyceum Course, given January 14th. This program was given by four musicians. Each was talented and could plays several different instruments. Mrs. Leak sang some very pretty solos. The overtures by the quartet were very skillfully presented. One of the biggest hits of the evening was the group of marimbaphone and xylophone quartets. Mr. Leak played the xylophone and the three ladies of the company played the marimbaphone. Everyone was pleased with the entertainment given by the company, and they in turn were well pleased with their appreciative audience. The fourth number of the Senior Lyceum Course, given on March 3rd was aprogram of classical and popular music. The program was composed of three men, Mr. King, lVlr. Wood and Mr. Brown. All were men of more than one talent and no talent was hid- hen. Besides ringing the bells, Mr. Brown sang, played the piano and gave humorous readings. lVlr. Wood played the violin and saxaphone, and in ad- dition sang some bass solos. Mr. King played the violin and banjo. Some lively trios were given during the evening. This varied and unusual program was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. On March 30th this year, this last number of the Senior Lyceum Course was presented. The final number was a three act play, To the Ladies. This play shows how the woman at home, can help her husband in his work. It also portrays how you, your friends, and your neighbors act. lt was an interesting and amusing comedy well liked by all who attended. -Helen Harrauff 4 1111111 1 :umm Q C 5 Kiln : E113 3 X 3 B 4 A : ! a 2 -Q1-.nu 3 l'l'II'l'l g mlm-M 3 Kllil I IZEIITI 3 xx 9 . 4 ' s 2 :lim 2 umm 2 llmln 3 lrmln g lnnlm g Irma i lll'lll'l'l Page Eighty f 1. 1 ,jgfgifl 4 'ii Z Lf' W Y HUF EM.

The society was or- ganized in P. T. H. S. in 1924 as an incentive for students to cultivate these traits. All students of the Senior and Junior classes whose scholastic standing is in the upper one fourth of their class are eligible for election, provided their work for the past two years has been done in the Princeton High School. The membership each year is limited to five per cent of the Junior class and fifteen per cent of the Senior class. This per cent is constant regardless of actual numbers. This high distinction was won by eleven seniors and three juniors in I924g eight seniors and three juniors in I925g and in I296 seven seniors and three juniors. This year nine seniors and three juniors were deemed worthy of the honor. There is no higher honor to be won in the P. T. H. S. than election to the National Honor Society. SENIOR MEMBERS Freddie Steadry Helen Anderson Eugene Finn Laura Clark Margaret Simon Faith Huntington Margaret Elaine Sweitzer Donald Sloan james Moran JUNIOR MEMBERS Richard Fuller jane Gillham Clifford Huffaker Page Eighty-:me iiiiifrj' - xr: National Athletic Scholarship Societq HE NATIONAL Athletic Scholarship Society has progressed to its third year as an organization in secondary schools. Princeton has been a member of this organization for all three years. This is an organization that has been created to give every high school athlete a chance to become a member of an Honor Society, even if his scholas- tic standing is not nearly as high as that of some students. lt is a recognition ofg first, athletic ability and, second, scholastic ability. Anyone who has earned an athletic letter and whose scholastic standing is better than the aver- age of the school for three consecutive semesters is eligible for membership in this society. It is possible to become a member while a Sophomore, Junior or Senior. Last year there were six members in the organization, and this year there are twelve. Those who are old members are, Richard Ferris and Clifford Huffaker. The new members are, Albin Anderson, Theodore Bailey, Julius Sandberg, joe Bartlum, Eugene Finn, Harold Stevens, Eugene Bryant, Winser Coddington, jack Blackburn, and George Clark. The scholastic average of the school for the last three semesters is eighty one and Five-hundredths. About Fifty pen cent of the letter men in school made this average. -C. H., '28 P 5: Elgl ty t ' l' 2 Yi The A Club HE CLUB, decidedly an innovation in our school, recognizes out- standing scholarship for single grade periods and semesters. All students receiving straight A's or AA's are members of this organiza- tion but are in good standing only so long as they maintain their A record. Thus a second six-weeks' member may not be a third six-weeks' member, and, simililarly, new members may appear when the honor roll is called. This club furnishes a great incentive to better work in all subjects be- cause a single B grade is suH71cient ground for ineligibility. That it encourages continued effort, too, is evidenced by the high percentage of students main- taining A standards. At the close of the first semester the following group was called to the platform to receive the applause of the student body. SENIORS Laura Clark, James Moran, Josephine Washburn. ,IUNIORS Richard Fuller, Jane Cillham, Margaret Halberg, Roberta Scott, Margaret Swartsley. SOPHOMORES Ruth Bohman, Eva Funk, Mary Alice Smith, Grace Smyth. FRESI-IMEN Myra Belle Frasier, Hobart Gunning, Sybil Haberkorn, Dorothy Norton. Page Eightv-three 5553275 - Yi Debating Teams RINCETONS DEBATING teams have been fairly successful this year. The question which was debated was: Resolved-That a Department of Education, with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet, should be added to the Executive Department of the government. The affirmative team con- sisted of Ruth Jury, Grace Smythe, Marion Webb, and Maxine Chesney, al- ternate. Those who made up the negative team were Julia Wetherhold, Ro- berta Scott, Jane Gillham, and Ruth Bohman, alternate. The teams were coached by Mr. Welch. The First debate of the season was a dual debate with Mendota on March 2. Princeton's negative team won the decision while the affirmative team lost to Mendota in a very close debate. On March 4 the teams entered the first rounds of the Big Nine Debates. Princetotfs affirmative team, debating at Kewanee, failed to receive the judge's decision, but the negative team won from Geneseo. The plan of having one critic judge for the debates has been used this year and has proved very successful. lnterest in debating is growing and, we hope, will continue to grow in the future. G.,' 28 1 lgltf '- Yi I ,W .mm Hielj Club HE HI-Y CLUB is now in its sixth consecutive year in the Princeton High School. Its object is to uphold high standards of moral and spiritual character. The members are carefully selected and chosen and the member- ship is kept below fifty. There are thirty-five members this year. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to, Create, maintain, and extend throughout the high school and community, high standards of Christian character , and the four planks on which it is founded are as follows: Clean Speech,Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. Included in our program this year was a 4 C's campaign in which we co-operated with the Mendota High School by an exchange of speakers. The Club as in previous years sponsored a very successful Older Boys' Conference. The entire county was represented. A preliminary survey was made and l60 boys gathered here in an all day conference. Under the able leadership of our leaders the problems that enter into and influence the lives of high school boys were discussed. On May 26 the club will give a play to finance the organization and tol obtain money to send several delegates to Camp Seymour for the summer conference. ln addition to this the Hi-Y Club will make a substantial dona- tion to the school in the form of a gift to commemorate this, one of the most successful years of the club's existence. The faculty advisors of the Hi-Y Club are Mr. O. V. Shaffer, Mr. A. l. Fleming, and Mr. J. C. Mortensen.

Meetings are held once a month in private homes and after the business has been attended to, programs are given by the various members of the club. Sometimes after the program we indulge in French games. Yes, and we have more funl Everyone is so livelyl We would have you know that our busi- ness meetings are carried on entirely in French and it has proved very success- ful. The requirement for membership is successfully completing one year in the study of the French language. Those first year students who have made an average of A or above for the first semester are eligible to become members of our society at the beginning of the second semester. This year we were pleased to welcome eleven such students in our circle. The aim of this club is to stimulate and promote interest in the French language and to be a source of help to the French students in various ways. This year Margaret Simon is our president, with jane Gillham as vice- president, Helen Harrauff as secretary, and Elaine Ross as the treasurer. We have high hopes of accomplishing much this year with the assistance of Miss Stimpert, our French instructress. We hope to understand our newly acquired tongue much better and have a keener knowledge of customs, life and literature in France and see the direct application of the French language. Vous verrez-Mes amis I -G. V., '27 Page Eighty-sexen r- N5 Socic-:tas Latina OCIETAS LATINA is a club whose membership is limited to students who have successfully completed at least three semesters' work in Latin. It is the purpose of the Latin Club to prove that the term dead lan- guage as applied to Latin is a misnomer. This we accomplish by supplement- ing the grinding routine of the classroom with monthly programs illustrative of Roman art, literature, and society. Our programs are not always strictly instructive but are occasionally designed to furnish an outlet for the play instinct found even in these indivi- duals who bury themselves in ablative absolutes, passivek periphrastics, and dactylis hexameters. Even our newest, most timid members find that songs, sketches, puzzles, charades, and actually food can be well utilized after the manner of the ancient Romans. The following students were elected to serve as officers for the second semester: Consules Quaestor Scriba Censor .... Curules ..... ..... Plebis ..... ..

We have an enrollment of twenty boys and with our harmonizing we startle the inhabitants at noon. When I2 :l0 breezes along we breeze for home. Our minds intent upon our noon sing , we sacrifice our celestial desert Csometimesl and gallop back to do our act. It takes fast work to sing three or four songs in twenty minutes but we can do it and argue at the same time. Changing Tenorsl Some of the kind that hit high C, then sing a few loose baritone notes and one or two squall bass notes! After a few attempts at these down in the deep dark cellar notes they become used to them and start using them in groups. The loose baritones are tight. They stick to their parts because tenor is too high and bass tickles their feet and so, they just have to stay put. Tenors require oil and plenty of it. When they start slipping cogs and stretching musical chords there is a sound suspiciously like that a mouse makes when reposing in a kitten's mit. First tenors carry their oil cans to eliminate the squeaks for any slip results in a slide from high C to low C with a pitiful groan at the end. Qur meetings take place in the Little Theatre where we sit on our repu- tations, the window sills and the piano. Don't are our particular rules. Barring rules and regulations, a few dismissals and frequent visits to the office, the Boys' C-lee Club has turned out to be a 'ishouting Success. -D.

We wish we could mention each one.

The first year we prac- ticed after supper once a week and the next two years we practiced three mornings a week at eight. Now that we are in our new high school we prac- tice three days a week during the third period. We should be a better orches- tra now than we were in former years and sometimes we do think it sounds like a symphony orchestra. It always seems as if we lose about all of our best players every year through graduation. We also get new and inexperienced players among the freshmen so that it is difficult to reach anything like perfec- tion. At present the brass section somewhat overtops the strings. We have five trumpets, live saxaphones, two trombones, two alto horns, and one sousa- phone. Some of the violins are quite timid, but are improving each week. Our big double bass viol keeps poor Charles standing so much he should grow very tall. Wonderful bass growls are emitted from this instrument giving a fine background or foundation. Gerda is rapidly developing on the new cello and when she has a solo part we listen in rapt attention. It really sounds quite rapturous at times. Some of the clarinets try to drown out the rest of the in- struments at times. Lorraine's equal at the piano cannot be found, and George at the Xylo- phone needs no sheet music. l-le has it all in his head. Our greatest trouble is caused when the violins in a group decide they'll play slowly and sadly, while at the same time the saxaphones determine to make it jazzy, and the cornets and clarinets all have different ideas of their own to work outg consequently, the result is considerably scrambled. After such mistakes our faithful director kindly but firmly urges us to watch the beat, and our efforts are not in vain for we soon swing together in complete harmony. . We play for the play contest, operettas, one act plays, and in our own contest, and we wish we could stay together and be a permanent Princeton symphony orchestra. -E.

HE GREGG CLUB was organized this year with Georgia Wingert as presi- dent and Ruth Anderson as secretary and treasurer. Our club has nine members, including Mr. Welsh, our teacher, and Mr. Martin who is at the head of the commercial department. Our meetings are held at the homes of the members by invitation, the first Friday of each month. These meetings take the form of both business and social and through this organization we try to stimulate more interest in shorthand. We also have two committees. One is the Committee on Meetings which decides when and where the meetings are to be held. The other one, Com- mittee on Programs, plans the programs for each meeting and aids the one that has charge of each particular meeting. We also chose the Gregg pin as our emblem, which is a total eclipse in blue and white enamel, outlined with burnished gold. Our colors are blue and white. We are following as much as possible the words of Emerson, Thou shalt be paid no more, no less, and every member of the Gregg Club realizes that she will get out of shorthand just what she puts into it. -F.

Peering through the door, l saw Helen Anderson presiding over what I now know was a Home Economics Club meeting. Close by sat Lucile Scott, acting as secretary, and beside her was the vice-president, Vivian Rabe. Josephine Washburn, in the absence of Alice Elliott, was giving the treasurer's report. I heard them discussing their constitution, and I learned that the purpose and aim of the club was to create a better relation between the home and the school. Meetings were to be held every first and third Thursday in the month. The club was to be divided into committees for service, dramatics, program and social events. During the business session plans were made to serve a luncheon on the day of the Older Boys' Conference. After the business meeting the members gave a program of interesting talks and recitations. Then suddenly realizing that some one was making a motion to adjourn I slipped away before the club realized l was listening in. -G.

A dvisor and Teacher HE AG CLUB of Princeton High School has had five successful years and is one of the outstanding Clubs of the school. There are about sixty members this year. In addition to other activities, the Ag Club has a strong basket ball team that to date has not lost a game and has defeated sev- eral of the neighboring high school teams. The Pest Contest for decreasing the number of harmful pests in the community is another of the club features. Considering that the cost per year to feed a rat is 52.00, to feed a mouse 50c, and a sparrow 50c, to say nothing of the spread of disease and harmful burrows and nests, the pest contest was worth over 51,000 to the people of this community last year, and it far sur- passes that mark this year. The losing team in the pest contest will feed and entertain the winners after March 30. Another of the purposes of the Ag Club is to raise funds to send a live stock judging team to Urbana every summer to compete in the State judging contest. This is not only very educational, but also a very enjoyable trip for the ten or twelve boys who get to go. The Ag Club also creates a better spirit of comradship among its members.

CONDITION is a fine thing, but there's a catch in this some- where. These gym classes aren't what they are cracked up to be. How- ever, since they are compulsory very few students escape taking them. Twice a week all the fellows in the school have to get into their little white panties and shirts and prance around the gym for forty solid minutes. ln other words eighty out of every ten-thousand eighty minutes are spent in making he men out of us weal-clings. Now what I want to know is what do they do about the other ten-thousand one-hundred minutes? The only time anyone gets up an honest-to-goodness sweat is in getting ready for class or dressing again to go home. We are given six whole min- utes to shed our street clothes and don our gym clothes and nearly ten minutes to do the reverse with a shower bath thrown in. The result is that our dignified seniors as well as the lowly freshmen often appear after such a ses- sion, with a necktie under one ear, broken shoe strings, shirts from which but- tons have been pulled, and many other curious as well as humorous and some- times embarrassing conditions. During class we do some spectacular things. To start with, we must line up and act like a division of infantry on parade. The result is usually more like a movement by a division of cavalry in which transportation is accom- plished by use of our stubborn friend, the mule. The fellow who invented this right face, right about face, column left act, would probably have a sud- den and fatal stroke if he could see us carrying out his ideas. The next thing on the program is a series of callisthenics. Some of these are actually a trifle hard to perform with the result that we occasionally dis- cover some lost muscle with the result that the next day finds us a trifle stiff. After the callisthenics anything can happen and it usually does. We sometimes play basket ball or rather a combination of basket ball and foot- ball in which the basket ball is used with football rules seeming to prevail. These matches are occasionally featured by a little prize fight or friendly scrap. Then again we may use the horizontal bars in which case our grace and ease of movement show up well, in comparison to a soccer game between the old ladies home and the home for the feeble minded. Now l don't want any one to think that I am knocking gym classes. On the contrary, l think they are a wonderful thing providing a person has some way of being excused from taking them. After all has been said, however there is just one question it wish to, leave in your mind. That is: Can a person get enough of this supervised stuff in eighty minutes to last for the other ten thousand? Without attempting to cast any reflections on your intellect l must say that there is only one answer to the question. E. C.

Any way your back is arguing and having a rebellion. So we go to an enterprising drug- gist who has made a fortune in postage stamps and buy a porous plaster. The twenty-five cents spent for it, gentle reader, is going to cost you more misery than kissing a spark plug while the motor is in action. The adhesive qualities of a porous plaster are remarkable. lt is the great grandfather of Hypaper and is much stronger in comparison. It has been known to have been used as a tow-rope for two trucks stuck or joined by it, but l have misplaced my clipping from which l gained this information. The plaster is unwrapped and the directions carefully read. It is stuck to a heavy piece of gauze and re- quires a first class stump puller to remove it from this. After a tug of war by all members of the family, including the dog, the plaster and gauze are sepa- rated. The unfortunate back is next bared and prepared for the ordeal. The victim is entirely oblivious to any dirty work going on behind him, when all of a sudden a vice-like grip has closed down on a portion of his spine. It attaches itself much the same as a mouse trap to your finger or a spike to a magnet. The only comfort the patient has during the next two or three days is the cooling sensation of the air coming in through the small holes or pores of the plaster. Three days is the record of endurance under the grinding tor- ture. Then comes the major operation of removing it. It is as obstinate as a Missouri mule or an Englishman. Screwdrivers and wedges are brought into play in easing it off the unfortunates' back, but with the utmost persuasion the plaster is removed. Some people swear by a porous plaster, but from my own experience l am likely to change the by to Hat. -Charles Fawcett, '28 The Covered Briclqe HAT IS very common to us is likely to be the unusual for someone else. That is the case of the covered bridge north of Princeton. Bridges, such as this one, are now few and far betweeng the old ones having been replaced by modern ones. As you come into Princeton, you are surprised to see, what at first ap- pears to be a barn straddling the road, but upon closer inspection is found to be la covered bridge. The bridge looks so sturdy and yet picturesque in its setting. The foliage is a golden yellow with tints of red in it. The creek meanders on its way under the bridge. The old watering trough, where many horses have quenched their thirst, gives the final touch to the scene making it a picture to be admired by all who appreciate beauty in any form. The barn-like structure is painted red. Bills, election notices, and cam- Page One Hundred One -S C iisiafs' R A' jsgiigiskwfiaxfl gi: paign cards have been nailed to the building. The wind and rain in a fitful moment have torn the bills and less sturdy notices into shreds and tatters. As you step inside, the rough timbers are immediately noticed. Your voice echoes, when a car passes, a deep rumbling noise resounds through this old bridge. The roadway, consisting of boards, forms a solid way for all traffic which must pass through this way. As you leave, you again turn to look at the bridge and the picture carried away is a beautiful one consisting of a novel bridge, an old watering trough set among beautiful trees. It is indeed a picture to be carried always in ther memory. -Mary Alice Smith, '29 Biq Feet HEN IN the process of writing an essay on as ticklish a subject as this, one must think twice before insulting anyone about their only means of re- liable transportation Cthat is before Ford grew up, because there is always a chance of making enemies. One cannot really understand or feel the awfulness of all this unless he is truly handicapped with big feet. If you have big feet, big in the true sense of the word, you are very very likely to be embarrassingly sensitive about them. l once knew a poor fellow who had such big feet that when he went to call on his girl he had to back up to the door-bell before he could ring lit. That is truly a pitiable thing, and this man is a man to be pitied. just think of going through life with a pair of violin cases like that. He couldn't swim because when he dove in deep water he would always sink because of his mudscows. And just imagine this fellow trying to do the Black Bottom or the Charleston This is certainly a crime. Another sad case of how terrible this all is, is displayed by lchabod Pig- snoot, a German Jew friend of mine. He had such large feet that it required several heavy weights to push him into bed. This man later became a criminal and was sentenced to be shot. The morning of the execution he went cheer- fully into the death chamber and stood against a wall. The executioner shouted fire and a volley of lead spattered around lchabod. He didn't move. The executioner was astonished and thought that Pigsnoot must have a charmed life. The twelve trained marksmen fired twice more but the criminal was stationary. On seeing this the executioner was so dumbfounded that he could hardly talk. l-le went up to lchabod and gave him a push, but he stirred not. He then called the riflemen to him and they pulled a large pole out of the ground to use it for a battering ram. They all gripped it tightly and then charged down upon Pigsnoot. They hit him with such a force that he swayed back and forth on his baby casketsn and finally fell over. Truly one could Page Ons- Hundred Two T' E 1 yi. not help but have a feeling of pity for such an unfortunate imbecile. The sad part about this story is that when they buried him his feet would not go in the casket, so they had to amputate them and lay them down along side of him. Such is fortune. After telling you these several instances of big canal barges I think that you will agree with me that when you see anyone with large feet, that the best and simplest thing to do is to get a little maul and tap this person gently over the opticals. -Dick Fuller The Easiest 1196113 to St.-113 Broke HEN MOST boys get well into their teens, they decide they would like to have an automobile. Some want a good one and others don't care how good the car is, just so it will run. We will take, for example, the boy who does not care for the condition of the car just so he gets one that will run. When summer vacation comes, he wants to earn some money, so he gets a job. He will work for several weeks and then he is not needed any more or else he gets tired and quits. He now has about thirty dollars. Several days later as he is going up town, a friend of his comes along in an old Ford and asks him if he wants a ride. The friend begins to tell him the fun of having a car of your own. This gets him to thinking. All afternoon he thinks how he would like to have a car. That night at supper he tells his parents. They laugh at him at first, but he tells them all the fun he could have with it, how he could run errands for his mother, and so on. After several days of arguing and discussing he finally gets permission to get a car. He goes to the Ford garage. As usual they have a good supply of second hand Fords. The one he would like to get is fifty dollars, so he has to look for a cheaper one. The salesman shows him one for twenty-five. lt will run. The tires aren't any too good and it makes a lot of noise, but he thinks it is a pretty good bargain so he takes it. He goes home and shows the said vehicle to the family. They laugh and make fun of it, but he says they don't know a car when they see one. That afternoon he goes swimming. The car works fine and when he gets back he says he wouldn't take fifty dollars for it. The next morning when he comes out to start the Ford his smiling face changes to a very sorrowful face. He see a flat tire. He goes and buys some tire patches and fixes it. After an hour of hard labor he gets the tire fixed. Then he starts the Ford, but it will only hit on three cylinders. He discovers a broken sparkplug. As he is looking over the motor he notices the fan belt is loose. He starts to tighten it and snap, it breaks. He then goes to the garage to buy a sparkplug and a fan-belt. When he gets back, the radiator is leaking. He is beginning to think something is wrong. After he gets it fixed he looks at the gas tank. It is almost empty, the oil is low. Then Page Ono Hundred Three .A Q Ssifirifiai H j5'EliEEQ1'V?9Jf3 X. 1-. he tries to start it. He slips and breaks the lens in one of the lights. After put- ting in some gas and oil he tries her again. No response. Tired and discour- aged he goes to the house. Everybody begins to make fun of him. He can't stand thatg so he goes out again. To his surprise he discovers he did not have the switch turned on. He tries it again and it startsl He drives it up town and stops in front of the garage. As he gets out a friend comes along and begins to laugh. The friend tells him his troubles are just beginning, and then goes on. After he buys the anti-radiator leak, he is broke and is anything but en- couraged from the few helpful words his friend just told him. As he gets in again he has a rather guilty feeling and wishes he had not bought the thing. -Warren Fox m Pearls From Ulang Seas VANCELINE, who when she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music said boldly, Why don't you speak for yourself, John? Evangeline and john were standing By the rude bridge that arched the Hood. john, much bewildered at her unusual request said to himself, 'Be still, sad heart, and cease repining' fore He, who, from zone to zone guides thru boundless sky thy certain flight', 'like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams' will surely 'let us then, be up and doing with a heart for any' fate' , but aloud, he said to his companion, 'Shoot, if you must, this old grey head' for 'shut in from all the world without' 'the night shall be filled with music' and 'the heights by great men reached and kept' 'can make our lives sublime and departing leave behind us' Hi- awatha's chickens'. Evangeline slowly answered, 'Green will be the turf above thee, friend of my better days' for l shall serve thee' 'bowls of sunrise for breakfast brimful of the east'. John, answering said, 'Life is reall Life is earnestl' and those bowls of sunrise suit me fine for men may come and men may go but l go on forever.

Anton Ackerson and his committee for the well organized campaign for the creation of a fund with which to buy the reference unit for the new high school library. No gift, at this time, is needed so badly and no gift could be more appreciated by the faculty and students. It is decidedly fitting that such a gift should come from the Alumni of old Princeton High School. No finer expression of interest and confidence could be given by the Alumni Association at this time. Soon after his election as president of the Alumni Association Mr. Acker- son suggested that graduates of the old High School present a gift to the new High School as a memorial and token of esteem for their Alma Mater. The plan as developed and carried out was to invite each graduate of old Princeton High School to contribute one dollar or more to a fund for that purpose A goal of 551500.00 was established. The first task was of revising as accurate- ly as possible the present names and addresses of all who had graduated since lS70. This was accomplished by securing one person from each class to re- vise the list for his class, and after three months of persistent effort the mailing list was completed. A letter was then sent to each Alumnus. That the grad- uates of old Princeton High School have not forgotten their Alma Mater and that they approved the plan was manifested by the prompt response and con- tributions received. From the appeal of the first letter the sum of SI335.00 was received, with commendations of the plan and offers to contribute again if the goal of the assessment was not reached. With the goal of S1500 prac- tically reached the officers of the Alumni Association conferred with the Page Une Hunrlre-ml Thirteen X w e ess1asEa5Ea'n '- jsE3iisgsswsg'1 Board of Education and others interested in the welfare of the school, in a conscientious effort to determine what would be the most practical and useful gift. After much deliberation it was unanimously agreed that the most ap- propriate gift would be a reference unit for the library to cover primarily the subjects taught in the new school in as wide a scope as could be purchased with the money received. The Board of Education had found it impossbile to appropriate any funds wherewith to equip the library, and that the selection of a reference unit by the Alumni was very timely and would serve as the foundation for the new library. With the selection of the gift determined, a second letter was sent to all from whom contributions had been received advising them of the amount received up to that time and what had been decided upon as the memorial gift. At the same time another letter was mailed to those from whom no re- sponse had been received giving them the same information and urging them to send their remittance at once so that they might have a part in the gift and also that our goal might be reached. Many more contributions were received and on the evening of the Alumni Reunion a total of 52013.56 was reported in contributions ranging from 51.00 to S50.00. Expenses covering postage, printing, mailing, paper, etc., amounted to 5131.68 and at the reunion Presi- dent Anton Ackerson of the Alumni Association presented a check for 51881.88 to Mr. Guy Bryant, President of the Board of Education to be held in trust for the Alumni Association until it had completed its appeal for funds and purchased the gift. With the goal of S1500 oversubscribed it was decided to raise the total to S2000 and this was readily accomplished. A committee consisting of Anton Ackerson, President of the Alumni Association, Guy A. Bryant, Presi- dent of the Board of Education, O. V. Shaffer, Principal of the High School, A. H. Ferris, President Citizens National Bank, and Attorney Cairo A. Trimble was selected to purchase the books. The committee secured the assistance of the faculty of the school and librarians of High Schools and State Universities in making their selection of the volumes to be included in the unit. A special section of the Library is set aside for this unit, and each volume purchased has a paster designating it as a part of the Alumni Memorial. A tablet is to be placed over the section designating it as the memorial gift of the Alumni of the old school to the new school. The contributions were received from 568 graduates of Princeton High School and no one except graduates of Prince- ton High School were permitted to contribute to it. Up to and including the class of 1926 there was a total of l580 who graduated from Princeton High School of whom l75 have died leaving a total of l405 graduates living in practically every country of the civilized world. Page One Hundred Fourteen Egg ? '- N1 Jllumni Banquet Be it a weakness, it deserves some praise, We love the play-place of our early days, The scene is touching, and the heart is stone That feels not at that sight, and feels at none. Cowper- Tirocinium. FTER MONTHS of anticipation and watchful waiting, the time had come at last-the evening when the building, risen from the ashes of our loved High School, opened wide its doors and beckoned the public to enter. It was a noteworthy group which gathered there. All the walks of life seemed to have led that way, and nearly all the ages of man entered the welcoming halls-gay and carefree boys and girls, proud fathers and mothers and crown- ing all-grandfathers with eyes blinking at the unaccustomed brilliancy- grandmothers with snowy heads and skirts discreetly long. Many were mem- bers of the Alumni Association and it was a real reunion as they met perhaps after a lapse of many years. There were shouts of laughter as old time pranks were recalled and there were eyes that were dimmed, as memories of those who were gone crowded in. Then the inner doors were thrown open and old and young surged into the big gymnasium, transformed for the time into a banquet hall. There were exclamations of surprise and admiration. Long tables covered with spotless linens, myriads of candles and graceful ferns and perfect! table service for more than four hundred guests. All this spelled hard work for the graduates, tried and true, who gave hours of precious time toward its accomplishment and Page One Hundred Fifteen . re 4- j5'E3,iEsgisVax52 Yi showed, too, the loyal support of our churches in their generous loan of any- thing and everything they had to make possible such a result. When all were seated, under the fluttering streamers of the blue and gray, it was with a feeling of deep reverence to the Giver of all, that heads were bowed, while the invocation was pronounced. The President's address of wel- come and response by Mr. Roy Horton, '26, brought forth the applause they well deserved. The roll call of classes was an interesting innovation. Fifty- seven classes have been graduated and of these forty-six responded, some with but one member present. The Class of '26 had the largest represnta- tion. Another marked feature of the program was the presentation of the gift given by the Alumni to replace the many class gifts destroyed by fire and to serve as a lasting memorial. The wonderful success of this project is due to the efforts of Mr. Anton Ackerson, '20, President of the Alumni Association and too much credit cannot be given him for his masterly handling of so great a task. This gift was acknowledged by Mr. Guy A. Bryant, President of the Board of Education. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Darlene Stevens Reeve, '76, and no better choice could have been made. Her topic, My 50th Anniversary, touched the high lights of the greater part of the school's history, and her knowledge of its influence on the home and community life of Princeton, the tribute she paid to the men of early days and her recognition of the legacy they left to the people of Princeton of today made a lasting impression on all who heard her. Mr. C. A. Trimble, '77, made a fine appeal for renewed interest in the Alumni Association and the program was concluded by a piano solo by our brilliant young musician, Henry jackson, '26. Again the Hood gates of memory were loosed while the floor was clear- ed for dancing and then far into the night the gay music floated out over a community made brighter, better, and more useful by the building of the new Princeton Township High School. -Margaret Paddock McKee, '84 . ...-..-i11- DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? How many people, after they have graduated from Princeton High School, stop to think of all the places represented by others who have graduated before them? Many stay here to engage in business while others move to different fields where their life work has the best chance for development. Far away in these distant places they look back .on their school days at P. H. S. as a beautiful dream, but always with pride for their Alma-Mater. No man need conceal the fact that he went to the Princeton High School. She has a record equal to any other high school her size. We find graduates in early every state in the Union and in nine foreign countries. The members of our Alumni, scattered all over the globe, are in every walk of life: Bankers, teachers, business men, army officers, engineers, farmers, ministers, doctors, lawyers, congressmen, railroad executives, missionaries, every type of business that makes the world go around, and makes us so proud of our country. Some may think their loyalty dies when they are so far from their old school: no, it never dies, no matter how far away or how 'busy they are. When the Alumin president writes to them, they answer, some times in few words but always with a spirit of loyalty and pride. -G. T. '27 Page One Hundred Sixteen EEEEEQW I' Eiisiggsvsva YL HENRY M.

Where l learned the ethics of the golden rule If such there be, just mark him well For of his deed you will never hear tell. From such an Alumnus we cannot but gather, He is no credit to his Alma Mater. The lessons taught him were all in vaing To his loyalty we can hold no claim For his school no service has been rendered, For himself, no friends has he engendered. ls this an Alumnus from Princeton High? Noi we proudly shout throughout the sky. Of such we can say we have no claim, Nor of any of whom we must disdain. For every Alumnus of our dear school, Has faithfully applied his given rule. From service, honor, loyalty, and success Our graduates have established their happiness Whatever vocation selected by them Found trained minds to take hold at the helm ln every field of endeavor now carried on Graduates of Princeton High are helping along. When to disaster our old school did come And out of its ashes arose a new home True to its teachings and spirit of old The Alumni was found as true as pure gold Willingly gave of service, money and time And founded a library for the use of mankind. -Anton Ackerson P g One Hundred Twenty 3 W 5 1 Ny Nrf -1' use NQDQQQQQJ1. fk - 1- M-9 -J f, ' L 'A 5 . ,f 1 7, fgaf.ag3,1, 3: -,X -' A.A. gifdiiflf ff -1 S N ' X Y xx QV L TK N 15:5 .31 xx: 3,3 wi A., g....n hi, 15 Tm -1: ' M tb H' ' I 1 ' UA --mf- 1 ,Q W .,:-V,-. ul Audi.,- 6 weinuila lv? mis Think 'gut we ul HirPt5vr.q2E if nu 'DP Filr p vsvUb'nvbybT.nor fmigprvsc use lllDl2lf.lPf ildrhvsur wnrh uso rrlvsrv u Ps will ibm 112 F513 uifrl 13,115 wi Qugwv 5551 on nv,YpuI'uPimPxsY sumo wfwvr usvf sfopvs wil mfiyvlil snggv qcausv our Ipdtfila have fuucbrfd bam, T mcghwill sgyw uslfbv Iuukupnnf vl but un I- P M519 If 515115 cmcv qFl'b0m, gPv! is nur u PTSD!
