During the year of its inauguration a modern building was erected on the campus near the central part of the city of Taylorville. In 1914, as the original building had becolne inadequate, due to the ill- 4-reased enrollment, an addition, larger than the original building, was added and was first used in September, 1914. The two buildings were united on all three floors, thus giving the appearance of a single unit. In the summer of 1921, a separate gymnasium, connected to the main build- ing, was built just east of the original building. The first basketball game was held here in December, 1921. Since that time, the gymnasium has been in almost constant use for athletics, social functions, and entertainments. The High School Board, in the summer of 1928, purchased through the Hauer and Bancroft Realty Firm, a tract of thirty acres ill the northwest part of town. Un this tract a football field has been laid out, a cinder track con- structed, baseball diamonds built, and experimental work will be carried on here by the agricultural department. There is plenty of room for the erec- tion of a new high school building, when the time comes, to keep pace with the progressive steps of the board of education to give to the city of Taylorvillc the best possible facilities for education. Wlit-11 the first term of school opened on Monday, September 7, 1891, the enrollment was ninety-five, which has increased until now, in 1931. there are almost six hundred students enrolled. The faculty has increased from three to twenty-six members. S1-renlt 1 The Portal to KlllJ'lUll1dgl' 'Q 3 Q A . ii ,Af L 2. -. . 5 Jp- W' iq Ur?

However she was cast in Big Time in '3l. She is a lot ol' fun and a good friend to have. DONALD OSBORNE If you know Donald, you know a friend worth having and he will be missed when he leaves T.T.lI.S. especially in the music department. He plays the saxophone quite well. He played for several school dances, and perhaps some day he may be anoiher Rudy Vallee. KENNETH ATKINSON lt seems that Kenneth has come from the country to T.T.H.S. He was one of the two in school who won a prize in the fire slogan contest held last Fall. He is a member of the Ag Club. ELIZABETH BAILEY We couldn't give too many compliments upon Elizabetlfs disposition-it is grand. She has a nice smile for everyone and we never see her cross or angry. Let's hope we don't. MARY DAILEY A good sport'-that's Mary, and she is one of the most popular members of the Senior class. You will recall her as gossipy 'LMrs. Wilson in Charm, She is an officer ol' G.A.A., Stoa, and a member of the Drift Staff. She also played in '6Big Timen anzl The Mummy. MILD BANKS Milo has been interested in athletics and has been good in them too. He has letters for track and football. In '29 he was treas- urer of Manual Arts. BLANCHE BARRUN Blanche has excelled in C.A.A., being a star in basketball, baseball and volley ball. She is a member of Pepperettes and Stoa. Her friends are many and she easily gains more. HELEN BENARD1 Helen is one of the best sports in school, both in gym work and in her classes. Real- izing this. the girls elected her vice-president of GAA. She 'is also a speed demon on the typewriter, on the Drift Staff, and played in The Mummy and Big Time. Twcn ly one -IW-lsr-In-Iv-lrrolzlrr . of : : FLORENCE BLAKEY Modest and retiring by nature, Florence has been working her way through school. We hope that she is always as successful in making friends as she has been in her past four years. MERLE BOSTON Mr. Card will surely miss Merle when he leaves, and so will his many friends. Merle has taken charge of the locker repairing, and keeping the keys straightened out. He has also played in the band, receiving his emblem this year. PERCY BOSTON Percy was given the task as Business Man- ager of the Drift, and we must say his work has been very good. He is also an honor student and has assisted in stage work for numerous plays. LA VON BOYD La Von hasn't been such a leader on our campus, but nevertheless she is a leader among her friends. She is brilliant in the classroom. She played in Charm last year, also in Big Time, and is a member of G.A.A. and Stoa. ITALENE BROWN ltalene is one of the good-natured type, who always has a smile to greet you. Although she did not participate much in school ac- tivities, her smile will get her a long way. HOW ARD BUCK LER Although in his spare time Howard works uptown, he was not too busy to accept the position of Advertising Manager of The Drift. Look over his ads and tell him how good he is. MARY BULPITT Mary is the Literary Editor of this year's Annual and has always shown up brightest when brains are needed. She is one of the G.A.A. staff and belongs to Stoa. She also helped a lot with Charm last year. and in selling candy at games. She was elected maid of honor this year. KENNETH CHAMBERS For what Kenneth is preparing himself wc would like to know. He asserts that 'Trign will be a great help, however. Kenneth plays basketball and received his letter this year. He also plays with several non-school teams. 1 I1 1-nly into KATHRYN CHATHAM Kathryn. although she did not enter into tl1e activities of our school so much, is very popular. and will indeed be missed when she graduates. WILLIAM CLARK Bill is perhaps best known about school for his basketball ability. He hardly ever failed to be high point man in every game in which he played. He has helped T.T.H.S. to victory many times. NEVA COOPER Neva is like some of the others in school-- she is rather quiet, but like others she is very likeable. Neva. as we all know, is a discreet and able maiden. EDITH CRAWFORD Edith has participated in the various girls' organizations and here has gained many friends who we know will miss her. She is a member of C.A.A. MARVIN DAIGH For the past two years Marvin has given very valuable services to the Drift staff as an art editor. He also plays in the band, illlll took the Toby part in The Ghost- bird. DE VERNE DALLUGE De Verne has only gone to our school one year, as he transferred from Owaneco. We all like him and wish he had been here longer. JAMES DARWIN James has steadily plowed upward while he has gone to T.T.H.S. This means a lot for he has obtained many friends. He played football and received his letter this year. DARLINE DOUGLAS This has been Darlineis only year at T.T. H. S. She came from Stonington. Her chief interest is music. She plays the piano and violin exceptionally well. Twenty lhuc ....+-4IIfDI2IfT o-len-lan-In-Ifzr-IH I If Dmrr . :sf : z IRENE DUYLE Although she is rather bashful, still water runs deepv and Irene has contributed her hit toward making this year's Senior Class what it is. She has been a member of C. A.A. for four years. HAZEL DUNBAR Hazel has varied interests but she seems to l enjoy music the most. She has played the clarinet in the band and in the orchestra for several years. LEE DUNCAN Lee is a general good-fellow about school with a diversity of interests. He is inter- ested particularly in mechanics, and is good at this. He is popular and will he missed by his friends. MA RCELLA ENTSMINGER lt seems that Marcella came front Palmer to our school this year. She has won many friends by her ready smile and lovely dis- position, and all enjoy her company. C. W. EDWARDS C. WI was chosen Editor-in-Chief of thc llrift this year. He was Editor of the school paper and on the Drift Stall' last year. He was the hero in '5Charm, and was Past in t'Big Time. He received his football letter this year and was elected secretary of the class. JACK FABRI .lack has been in athletics since he entered T.T.H.S. He has played football three years, and this year placed as all-conference tackle. He has also participated in basketball and track. He played in Big Time. LYSLE TANKERSLEYLMW J. - Perhaps you know Lysle better by the name A of Dom He has been one of the more I It 1 popular members of the class. Doc likes MT Z to talk.

She t is a member of Pepperettes and played in V Big Time. Also, she was in the '30 May . fete. Twenty-four I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I SISTO FASSERO On looking over the members of the band we find that Sisto was a prominent member, receiving his emblem at the. concert this year. He is also an honor student. ELMER FASSERO Perhaps you haven't looked yet but 'when you do look at the sport write-ups, remem- ber that Elmer wrote them. He is sports editor of the Drift. He has been interested in athletics, and received his T in '28 for baseball. ADELLE FOSTER While Adelle has not taken as active a part in school societies and affairs as we would have wished, her smile and presence has made up for this other loss. LUIS FRIEND Friend in name and friend in nature, we might say about Lois. This is her first year at T.T.l'l.S.. but she has made quick prog- ress in her one short year. She was trans- ferred from Owanevo. MIARCELLA FUNDERBURK II.eft school before end of term.I MELVIN GOLDMAN A rhampion at basketball, that's Melvin. He eaptured a place on our team early in his sophomore year, and has kept it ever since. Owing to his brilliant playing, he was elected captain of the team this year. He also plays on some non-school teams. IULA HADLEY A cheery smile, daneing eyes, and just look at her hair. Iola is one of the best sports in school. She transferred from Palmer in '29.

She is a C.A.A. member, and belongs to Pepperettes. BYRON TURNER This boy is right there when defense is needed in a basketball game. His guarding was one of the outstanding features of the '31 season. He is one of the outstanding members of the class., owing to his debonair manner. JAMES TURNER Jim is a popular young man, whose part- ing will indeed be regretted. He has been athletirally inclined while in school and has partiripated in several sports. He also plays in the band, the trombone being his instru- ment. RICHARD TURNER Dick is of the brand that makes the most of his vhanves, and we know he will succeed in his life work.

Don't you remem- ber the Mummy and the Mumps?,' She was cast as Sir Hector Fish who had the mumps. She is a member of Stoa, C.A.A., and Pepperettes. FRANK WELLS Tom hasn't entered into school activities very much, mainly because he is preparing for a life of journalism. He is employed at one of the local newspapers. MELVIN WILHOUR Melvin is another of those boys who devote most of their time to Ag activities. He was president of the Ag Club the first semester. He has also participated in several judging contests. MURRAY WILLIAMS When Murray leaves T.T.H.S. he is going to leave town also.

But whatever your song is, we know that most everyone has a tint ol' sadness when he realizes that he is leaving the halls of T. T. H. S. forever. as a student. Year hy year we have improved ourselves in high school until we have reaclted the ultimate-seniorship. Let us go hack four years and live again through our four successive stages. ln September, 1927, there came through the portals ol' T. T. H. S. a group of hoys and girls who, although they did not know it, were destined to do great things in the years to come-hoys and girls who would leave much in the history ol' the school. Little did they realize the great responsibilities that would some- day lme thrust upon them. They held their first election, and good order pre- vailed, as it should with up and coming freshmen. Needless to say, for their officers they made a good selection. They were: Paul Clements.. .,., ...... President Martha Livergood, ,, ,lice-President Mildred Hastings, ,. ,,,,,.,......,,. .,........ S ecretary .lonas Schrcider ......., ,..... S ecremry and 'Treasurer To prove that they were light-hearted. they had a picnic 011 October twen- tieth. Who can forget the treasure hunt? This event will long be remembered hy all as one ol' the outstanding events ol' their lives. The evening was capped by eating hot dogs, marshmallows, and by playing games. Thus they spent nine months as freshmen, carefree, happy. enjoying lifef Turn now another page in history. Gradually suiting themselves to a new environment ol' intellect, this group became sophomores. 'Twas now that some of the talent that the class contained hegan to show. Again they elected officers to guide them, and this time they were: llellrert Hall. ..,,, ..,,,,, , Presirlcnt Eldon Poor, , . ,. ...,.,............,,..,. lice-President .lonas Schrcitler .,..,.,, ,.,....

It would have hecn perfect. except that certain parties ate onions. for which action certain other parties Thirly-six I I I I I objected to. At the county tournaments they sohl cats and made quite a sum of money by their business foresight. Nine more months passed, and nowf - Page three! 'Tis nearing the goal they are by now. Juniors, and important juniors were they, with many members prominent in athletics, journalism, and many other fields of activities.

S crreiary and Treasurer Now, it seems, their responsibilities started. Candy and other refreshments they sold at all games. The first party of the year they sponsored. 'Twas indeed a busy yearl To top all of their money making ventures, they gave a play on February 28 called Charm, which really was charming. It was a success both dramatically and financially. Then, to prove that they had generous hearts, they gave a prom for the seniors in ,lune that was something to write home about. lvhataproml Vlfhatapronll The last page. Wllat joy and sorrow-what tears and laughter have they passed through in this vale of education? But what do they matter? This group. who came so carefree and happy 'way hack in '27, are now to pass out into the world-out from the protecting walls of their alma mater. Although they realized this. they also knew that they must elect oflicers. They elected: Mildred Hastings ,, ,,,..,,., Presidenl Delbert Hall. .. . .,.,..., lice-Presidenl C. W. Edwards .,.. ,,.. ...... S e cremry They knew they were going out, but they did not let down in their good work. Un April tenth they presented Big Time in which twenty-six of the members of the class were glorified. The May Queen and Maid of Honor were chosen from their ranks and crowned. And we know that in future years, the class of 532 can also say whataproml they gave the class of '31. The summary. This class whispered in my ear. and told me to tell you that they would not forget their friends in T. T. H. S. and they don't want their friends to forget them. They wish to express their appreciation to their class advisors, namely, first, Nliss Ryburn, Mr. Card: second, ditto: third, Miss Harri- son and Coach McAdamg fourth, lVlrs. De Hart and lVlr. Thornton. They hope that they have set an example for all of the coming freshman classes to follow, and they leave T. T. H. S., sad because they are leaving, but happy because they are confident that their successor will carry on their work. -At last. at last!

Since we must make a lot of money so as to be able to entertain the seniors royally in June, we have worked all cluring the school year. We solil canfly at all the football and basketball gullies which were held at home and at the county tournament. We made quite a lot of money in this manner. We also gave a high school dance on St. Valentine's clay to make more money. Two boxes of candy were given at this party to the persons holding the lucky numbers. Our class play was helfl rather early in the year. lt was a big success both financially and in the entertailmient it ollered to those present. Weren,t Floyd Rambaeh and Constance Hay a scream?

But that's enough about the coming prom, for we must tell you about the achievements made during our years at 'l'.'l'.H.S. Our class perhaps ranks first in seholarship owing to the very excellent grades LalVloyne Bearden and Edward Green have been making. There are a number of juniors on the football team. Peel, Lewis, Miller, Razor, Haflinger, Crites, and Sexton are all good players. Lee Lewis is the captain-elect for next year. Let's hope we will have a championship team. In basketball Crites has been one of the outstanding players. He is also good in track. Akers and Sessions are also good in the latter sport. As a class the juniors are all jolly, full of fun, and like to have a good time. Of course we can work when we really have to, but that doesn't worry us. Being .luniors we have taken an important part in the school activities this year, in athletics, scholarship, and the social life of the school. We are sure that we will be quite able to carry on the work of the Seniors who are graduating this year. We hope to put forth a fine Drift next year. Our class has had a fine spirit this year and we lllllst add that much of this is due to the aid of our capable advisors, Miss Holderread and Coach lVlcAdan1.

Miss Terriere and Mr. Card. The class as a whole has not had many important things to do with the school activities hut next year they are sure to bring much fame to the Junior class of the school. The Sophomores have done their bit in adding new members to the football team, Woll'e and Giovognoli making the first squad this year.

Class of '33 lt doesn't seem quite fair but the Seniors have made up most ol' the basket- hall team this year, so our class has not had lnueh ol' a chance to show their ability in this sport. However we will have a chance next year and we hope to have some of the outstanding players come from our class. Now let us consider track. track meet held on April 13, but the date must have had something to do with it. Willie Allison was the outstanding star for the Sophomores. However, our time will come in the future, and we are going to make a strong hid for the title in the future. Although it seems to be a traditio is rather inactive, we do have a school spirit that is quite as good as any class in the school. We are quite well reserved and have tried to he good examples for the Freshmen. Our class has been quite active socially at the various school parties and we hope to become outstanding hosts next year as that is our chance to give the prom. There are a number of individuals in the class who have become very well known for their ability either in athletics, scholarship, or ability in the music department. Of course there will be a lot more in the next two years who will have a chance to make a name for themselves in the events ol' the school.

T reusurer The Manual Arts Club is a division of the manual training department of the school. lt has become a real important club and of real value to the school. Mr. Card, the manual training instructor, capably advises this club. This year, as in the past few years, this club has made the settings for the various school plays which have been given. New permanent settings were purchased for the stage this year and they were put up by this club. They also erected the settings for the May Fete and concert given by the T.T.H.S. band. The annual training rooms were repainted this year by the various members of the club and they have made some improvements in their work shop. lt can easily be seen that such a club is very valuable to the school and it saves them much money in preparing the stage settings. They make improve- ments in the school building whenever possible and have helped to keep the locks of the students' lockers in order.

They have heen called upon to furnish programs for the various service clubs, and organizations of the city and have made several trips to nearhy cities giving programs that have been thoroughly enjoyed. The massed hand of 100 that played i11 Springfield for the high school teachers conference in March had twenty-five players selected from the concert haml ol' Taylorville. These hand members were highly complimented on their skill and musicianship. ln January, the fourth annual hand concert was given in the high school gymnasium with an attendance of over six hundred. The hand was augmented to 80 players, aml four musical numhers were given at this eoncertg they were March Slay hy Tschaikowski, The Largoi' from the New Worlrl Symphony hy Dvorak, Valse Triste hy Sibelius aml an Oriental Phantasy In a Chinese rllt'llllJl0 Carden hy Ketelhey. Several new instruments were purchased by the music department for the henefit of the music students, from funds obtained from the concert, gifts from several generous citizens and business firms of the city. We, of the music department wish to express our appreciation to these hroadminded and generous people for their fine interest in the musical organization of our high school.

This orchestra was directed by Mr. Henri Ver Brugghcn, conductor of the lvTillll0lllD0llS Symphony Urchestra. The members of this orchestra were the outstanding players chosen with great care from the various high schools in ten of the middle western states. The two members of the hand that made this trip from Taylorville, were Joseph Henry first hassoonist., and Howard Akers, first troinhonc of thc hand.

There has heen very little music arranged for these combinations and it has been necessary to arrange much of the music that this ensemble has played, hut the pleasant results obtained have more than repaid the arrangers for their cllorts. Much credit is due to James N. Adams, illl alumnus of this school, for his nntiring efforts in writing and arranging music for the concert hand, orches- tra and the woodwind ensemble. Owing to the largencss of the concert hand, this group has played for many of the civic organizations of the city when there was not space for the concert band.

They have worlaetl on some ol' the linest orchestral literature of the musical worlll. Such numbers as the Fifth Symphony ol' Beethoven. the L'Arlesiennc Suite of llizet. 'LAthalia by lVlenflclssohn, Norma by Bellini, ancl Fingal's Cave, overture by Mcnnlelssohn. were sturlicfl. The orchestra has been handieappecl to some extent by the absence of a sufficient number ol' stringed instruments, and we hope to be able to increase this number by next year. However, the orchestra assumes the proportions of a little symphony, antl is, only for the absence of violas. The outstanaling program the orchestra gave this year was given for the music scetion ol' the WOIIIHIIHS Club of Taylorville. This program. arranged anal given by the orchestra, ineluclerl numbers by the oltl classic, romantic antl moll- ern writers. The orehestra also gave a special program for the Vesper services at the Presbyterian ellureh. The orchestra is somewhat hantlieappetl by the fact that only two rehears- als a week are possible, and these rehearsals have to be helrl outsitle school hours. However. every bit of the work is enjoyed by the stutlents, anrl they are to be complimented for their loyalty and regular attendance. 'l'he instrumentation of the orclu-stra is: l2 violins, 2 cellos, l string hass. 2 elarinets, 2 trumpets, 2 bassoous, 3 flutes, l oboe, 2 horns, 1 trombone, 1 tym- pani, l bass and snare clrum.

They sang two numbers from the cantata, The Courtship ol' Miles Standish. Considering the lack of a suit- able ti111e and place for practice, they did quite well in placing third in the county meet. It is to be hoped that next year they can do more in the line of glee club work. The Clee Club is directed by Mr. C. L. Garard, who is well versed in this line. The accompanist is Mr. E. K. Asbury, head of the Music Department. Although the number is not large, the voices are very well blended, and, under the able direction of Mr. Garard, exquisite music is obtained. It is hoped that the number will increase next year, and it probably will, as more and more interest is being shown in vocal training by the students.

Huh ::al-4IrDl2lrI::::: History and Progress of the T.T.H.S. Band Four years ago the high school concert band was organized under the direc- tion of Eugene K. Asbury. Study on band and orchestral instruments was begun with the assistance of Mr. Robert Walter of Decatur. At the end of 1927 the high school boasted of a band of twenty-two students. One program was played that year, and nmnerons football and basketball games were livened up by the crash of brass and the tinkling cymbals of the band. An orchestra was organized and also proved to be a valuable asset for high school activities. ln 1928, the high school band was gradually assuming larger proportions. More students were enrolling for the music course. We were adding new instru- ments to the concert band and orchestra, and by the time the month of April had rolled around, we find the band going to Springfield to play in the district contest of' the Illinois high school band contests. The band had thirty-three members in it, and, playing against Beardstown, defeated them. We were then eligible to go to Urbana to play in the state contest in which we took fifth place. Every year has seen a gradual and steady growth of the high school hand and orchestra until at the present time there are 128 students enrolled. The concert band now has seventy-five members, the second band about forty-five, the orchestra thirty-five, and various other musical organizations of' ditferent sizes have been organized. For the last three years the concert band has competed in the district contest. winning each year. They also have steadily risen to a higher place in thc state contests. This year the band again defeated Beardstown in the district contest. and placed second in the state contest. DeKalb, a former class A band. placed first. Nlooseheart band was also awarded second place, but inasmuch as Mooseheart is not a public school., Taylorville was awarded second for high school bands. We also entered Howard Akers, trombonist from our band, and he too won first place in the sectional contest, playing against eleven other trombonists. At the state contest he competed with seventeen trombonists and placed fifth. A splendid record when one considers that Howard played against students that study from very famous instructors in Chicago and elsewhere, and who have played for more than four years. Next year the band expects to take first place in the slate contest. We are working very hard to make this possible.

The defeat was a costly one for us as Hall, Crites and Ciovagnoli were badly injured. The game was featured by heavy line plunging by Hall. Capt. lVlcAdam, Crites, and Clements also showed up well in the back- field while Fabri starred on the line. September 27 TAYLORVILLE 0 ..,........, HILLSBOR0 26 The football team suffered its second defeat of the season at the hands of the Hillsboro eleven who came over with all but one of last year's men. Our team was handicapped by the fact that Hall, Crites, and Giovagnoli were out of the game because of injuries received at Urbana. Hillsbor0's first touchdown was made in the second quarter when they opened up their aerial attack. Our boys worked hard but the handicap proved too great. October 4 TAYLORVILLE 0 ............ STAUNTON 18 The T.T.H.S. eleven was defeated in its first conference game by Staunton. At the beginning of the game it looked as though we were going to have an easy victory, but as the game went on, the breaks came against us. In the first quarter Staunton failed to gain any yardage, and when we came in possession of the ball, we went from our forty yard line to within thirteen yards of the goal, and then a fumble cost us the possession of the ball. Hall and Fabri were hurt at the close of the half and Crites at the beginning of the third quarter. Staunton immediately took advantage and scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and one in the last. Fumbles proved costly. Capt. McAdam, Clements, Hall, and Crites showed up well in the backfield, and Fabri was the outstanding player on the line. 9 y October 18 TAYLORVILLE 29 ,........... GILLESPIE 0 Playing championship football Coach McAdam's Purple and Gold gridders had little trouble in defeating the scrappy Gillespie eleven. The entire backfield showed up well with repeated gains from live to twenty yards and a spectacular sixty yard run for a touchdown by Capt. McAdam, our star quarterback. Again the game was featured by Hall's line plunging, which marked up many of the gains, and Clement's and Fabriis usual hard hitting tackles which succeeded in causing several fumbles by our opponents, one of which was grabbed behind the goal by Rasar for a touchdown. Fabri, Darwin, and Hargis starred on the line, not mentioning the brilliant work of Tiny Miller, Oddy, and Peel. October 25 TAYLORVILLE 27 ...,..,..... ASSUMPTION 0 In the Assumption game the fast charging of the line and the perfcct backfield accounted for our second victory of the season. The Purple and Gold again proved that they had the old fighting spirit necessary to win football games. Once more the game was featured by Hall's lille plunging and McAdam's startling gains. Clements, our galloping halfback, made a thirty-three yard run for a touchdown, but as luck would have it, the ball was brought back. Two touchdowns were made in the first quarter and two in the last. Fabri, Darwin, Rasar and Hargis were the outstanding players in the line. November 1 TAYLORVILLE 13 .........,.. SHELBYVILLE 0 Coach MCAd3lll,S Purple and Gold gridders proved conclusively that they had the class of the South Central conference when they defeated the fast Shelbyville high by a larger score than did the Hillsboro eleven, the conference leaders. The game was a battle from beginning to end but Taylorville was just a little better. In the second quarter Hargis, our fleet-footed end, intercepted a pass and went seventy yards for a touchdown, but for some unknown reason the ball was taken back. Urged on to fight harder by this break, our boys went the seventy yards in successive gains and carried the ball over just a few seconds before the gun went oil' for the half. Hall, our hard driving fullback, went forty-five yards for the second touchdown and also kicked goal for the extra point. Captain MCAll3lll, Clements, and Fabri also starred. 9 3 ' WI-4Il1EDI2ll'T! : : :: n-In-I1 .r-In-le Il1lfDl2IfT 4-In-le : : 'If . 351 SI a W , ,Q . , as-Q4 ' A I ' X F, . 1 .

ROUTT HIGH, JACKSONVILLE 0 Playing before one of the largest crowds of fans ever assembled on the Athletic Field, Taylorville met and defeated the fast Jacksonville eleven on Armistice Day. The lone touchdown was made in the first quarter after Clements recovered a fumble on the fifteen yard line and Hall heaved a pass to Capt. McAdam who scampered the remaining yardage for the counter. The extra point was made by Hall in a line plunge. Jacksonville opened their aerial attack at the first opportunity but with the splendid work of Clements, Crites and Giovagnoli in the backfield the completion of the majority was unsuccessful. The sensational play of the day was made by Capt. McAdam when he broke through the line and went seventy yards to within ten yards of the goal before he was tackled. The ball was carried within a yard of the goal but we failed to score. Fabri, Miller, Peel, and Darwin were the outstanding players on the line, while Hargis and Rasar took good care of the end positions. November 20 TAYLORVILLE 6 ............ NOKUMIS 0 The Purple and Gold gridders hung another scalp to their belt by defeating the fast Nokomis eleven in a close thrilling hard fought game. The game was going about even until the third quarter when Rasar covered a fumble on the twenty yard line, and after several line smashes, Hall carried the ball around end for the lone counter. Several other times we were on the verge of scoring but penalties caused the chances to slip away. Nokomis came within four yards of scoring in the final minutes of play, but the line broke in and saved the day. Earlier in the game they attempted to score by a pass, but Clements, our shining halfback, intercepted it and carried it out of danger. Capt. McAdam took good care of all the punts and did his share of line plunging and also his part in end runs. Crites and Giovagnoli took good care of the right half job, while Banks, Hargis, Miller, and Lewis strength- ened the line. The line sorely missed Fabri who was out on account of an injury, but his place was taken care of by Banks in a very able manner. Nolan, who replaced Darwin in the third quarter, played a fine game at tackle. November 27 TAYLORVILLE 43 ............ PANA 0 The T.T.H.S. football team brought the season to a close by trouncing Pana in the annual Turkey day clash 43-0. Taylorville was constantly on the march down the field and only found it necessary to punt the ball twice during the S y I!IIIIl1IfDl2ll'TII2II entire ga111e. ln the first minute of play Capt. McAdam carried the hall thirty yards for a touchdown but Lady Luck decided differently and the ball was brought back. It did not make much difference, for a touchdown was made shortly afterwards. McAdam was the leader in long runs, making a forty-five and twenty yard run, and Hall came next with a thirty-five yard run and num- erous shorter gains. Clements made his share of the touchdowns and did very well in defensive work. Crites and Giovagnoli saw that no plays succeeded getting past right half. Fabri, Lewis, Miller, Oddy, Hargis, and Darwin all saw that many plays were broken up and only allowed Pana three first downs to Taylorville's sixteen. Spring Football The first call was issued for spring football on April 15. Quite a few aspirants for next yearis team reported, including some of the regulars of the 1930 season. Under Mr. Bryant, the coach, the boys who were new to the game were coached in the fundamentals of the game. The more experienced were given jobs of showing the rookies, and themselves partook in a lot of two and onef, This is the second year of spring football at T.T.H.S. It has proved invaluable in getting new material for the gridiron squad for the coming fall. It also acts as an outlet in the spring for the boys who do not care to participate in baseball or track. According to Mr. Bryant, it is also a good spring fever preventive. Some of the regulars from last season's squad reported-'aTiny Miller, who credited himself favorably in the '30 season, Lewis, next season's captain, Robertson, Armstrong, and quite a number of freshmen. Wilsoli should show up in the coming years. Many arguments have been heard about spring football, but colleges have it. Wllilt,S good for colleges should be good for high school also. We hope that Coach McAdam will 11ot abolish it. Seven ly-one :v-le . IP-IHIEDIQIFT . 1+ : 1 it Eb Yet 1 S-Af QRV ESM?

Bill', Clark also shone during the first semester, although he was ineligible during the second semester. Turner marked his guarding with outstanding success, as did lVlcAdam. Patton, playing his first year as a regular, did a good job. Crites, we all know about Stan,' from last year. Fabri played a good game all season, also Chambers. Law and Nolan, two boys from Uwaneco, also played a constant game. Shuler, Sliively, Drennan and Daugherty can be looked to in the future. All showed up well this season. On almost every all-conference team picked by Central Illinois writers, Goldman and Hall made the first team.

Witt 18 The Purple and Gold cagers, led by Captain Goldman, opened their season's play in wonderful fashion by swamping the fast Witt quintet. Goldman began the scoring by dropping five baskets through the loop in rapid succession, right after play started. A twelve point lead was registered in the first quarter and leadership was never questioned throughout the entire game. A number of sub- stitutes were given a chance and all showed up well. Goldman led the scorers with 17 points, while Holzhausen and Turner registered 8 and 7 respectively. McAdam and Turner prevented the Witt danger lnen from scoring with their excellent guarding. Hall, Crites and Patton also showed up well. DECEMBER 19 Taylorville 10 ....... Nokomis 14 The T.T.H.S. basketball team met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Nokomis five. Goldman started the scoring by making a field goal, but the Red and Black came right back and scored two field goals plus a free throw, maintaining the lead during the entire game. The T.T.H.S. offense failed to get started and we were forced to take the short end of the score. JANUARY 2 Taylorville 39 ........ Pana 8 The T.T.H.S. basketeers displayed the old lighting spirit while defeating the old rival, Pana, in an entirely one-sided game 39-8. Taylorville held only a 11-4 advantage at the half, but during the remainder of the game the fireworks were constantly going off. Goldman started the scoring by sinking the first basket and by the end of the game he had piled up a total of fourteen points. Clark, playing a nice game at forward, was second high point man, with twelve points to his credit. lVlcAdan1 and Turner held the opponents to only two field goals with their wonderful guarding. Hall and Crites also played in stellar roles. JANUARY 3 Taylorville 23 ....... Mt. Olive 15 After trouncing Pana, Taylorville journeyed to Mt. Ulive and defeated the fast aggregation found there by a score of 23-15. This was the second conference win of the season, and conference hopes are high. Any other team that comes in contact is sure to suffer. A ten point lead was taken in the first quarter and .5 vunty-four JIIfIII1lfDl2lfTIlI!I with the excellent work of McAdam, Crites and Turner at guards, only four field goals were scored by the opponents. Captain Goldman was the high point man, with twelve points, while our shifty forward, Clark, registered three points. Holzhausen rang up four. JANUARY 9 Taylorville 30 ...... Shelbyville 18 The T.T.H.S. basket warriors took the Shelbyville five into camp on the home floor by a score of 30-18. We took the lead in the first few seconds of play when Clark made a free throw, and we were never in danger throughout the entire game. At the end of the first quarter, Taylorville was leading 9-2 and this lead was increased to 15-5 at the half. With the starting of the third quarter Shelbyville came back stronger and anllexed 8 points to our seven, but during the final period T.T.H.S. got their second wind and completely over- whelmed the opponents. Captain Goldman was high point man, with seventeen points. Clark came next with twelve. MeAdam and Turner played their usual game at guard. Hall, Fabri, and Patton also handled their positions nicely. JANUARY 16 Taylorville 39 ....... Mt. Olive 18 Our quintet turned in another win by handing Mt. Olive a tamping on our home floor. Taylorville started off with the scoring when Captain Goldman sank the first basket. We were never in danger during the remainder of the game. T.T.H.S. held an 8-1 lead at the end of the first quarter, and by the end of the half, a 16-6 margin was piled up. During the third quarter, Taylorville increased the margin by making fourteen points to the opponents three. In the final period, each managed to obtain nine counters. Goldman was again high man, with sixteen points. Hall was second with eight. Clark and Fabri played a good game at forward, while Turner and McAdan1 starred at guard. JANUARY 23 Taylorville 37 ........ Pana 13 The T.T.H.S. basketball team annexed their fifth straight victory by easily defeating Pana high, at Pana. Pana started the scoring with a free throw, but two baskets and three free throws gave the Purple and Gold the lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, six points were gathered to the opponents three, making the score 13-4 at the half. During the second half Pana came back with more fighting spirit, but with our strong defense working Svren ty-fmt n-In-I-1 .o-In-I4 mrmzlrr . :v-In-P : in tip-top order, Taylorville kept the possession of the long end of the score, and ended the game with a 37-13 win. Goldman was high point man with 15 points, while Clark came close behind with 14. McAdan1, Turner and Crites played their usually good game at guards. Hall and Fabri also played well at center and forward. County Tournament FEBRUARY 6 and 7 Taylorville's prospects for the county title looked very good all during the tournament. We trimmed Rosamond in the first game to the tune of 40-16. We were in no danger during this entire game, and Rosamond, although a scrappy team, played a losing game. Goldman again led with fourteen points. Patton rang up nine. Hall played the entire game with only one personal against him, besides gaining seven points. Turner, playing guard, got six. Taylorville, Pana, Stonington and Edinburg played in the semi-finals. Tay- lorville defeated Pana in an easy game in the third session of the tourney. The final score was 28-8. Hall led the point-makers with eight. Goldman was a little off form and rang up five. Crites played a good game, getting six points to his credit. Stonington defeated Edinburg in the semi-finals to the score of 22-17. This game was really the headliner of the evening, and it proved to be a thriller, in spite of how the final score turned out. All dope and predictions were upset in the finals, when Edinburg heat Pana for consolation, and Stonington defeated Taylorville for the championship. The score of the former was 21-17. The score of the championship game was 22-18. The Purple and Gold took an early lead in the first quarter, but it was noticeable that the team was not up to their usual form. They held Stonington scoreless in the second quarter while they ran their score up to eight points at the half. ln the third quarter, Markwell, the hero of this game, found a sure spot near the southwest corner of the floor and dropped in two field goals. Bandy scored three points to bring Stonington's counters up to nine. Taylorville increased their score to 14 points. ln the last quarter Markwell sank four more field goals from the same spot on the floor, and added a free throw to that. Taylorville rallied and made a gallant fight to overcome this lead, but Bandy came through with two long shots. Stonington went wild, and the gun sounded with the lead still too great to overcome. Markwell was high point man of the game, with 14. Goldmalr collected seven. Se vunly-. ax I I I I I FEBRUARY 10 Taylorville 33 ........ Witt 26 After the break-down in the county tournament, Taylorville journeyed to, and defeated Witt, the 6'Montgomery county lads. Taylorville started off with the scoring at the opening of the game when Goldman went through the defense and put the ball through the loop. During the remainder of the game T.'I'.H.S. kept the big end of the score without much trouble. Goldman played the stellar role, collecting 23 points. Turner came next with 5. Crites and Patton played well at forwards while McAdan1 and Turner played their usual steady game at guard. Hall shone at center. FEBRUARY 13 Taylorville 33 ....... Hillsboro 21 Friday the thirteenth held no bad luck for the T.T.H.S. team, who followed their Witt victory by soundly trimming Hillsboro in a fast, thrilling, hard fought game. Taylorville grabbed the lead at the first tip off and did not relinquish it all during the game. The Purple and Gold established an 8-5 lead during the first period and by the half the score board registered 18-14, with the McAdam quintet still holding the lead. During the next period T.T.H.S. ran wild collecting counters while the Black and Orange trailed behind with only 2. Goldman again led the scoring with 19 points while Turner followed with 9. Martintoni, the Hillsboro ace, was smothered most of the time by the wonderful guarding of McAdam and Turner. Crites and Patton proved to be the bull-dogs of the game, taking the ball away from the opponents on many occasions. Hall played his usually good game at center. FEBRUARY 24 Taylorville 25 ....... Nokomis 23 Coming from behind in the last three minutes after playing a listless game, Taylorville nosed out the fast Nokomis quintet. The contest was fairly even with the Purple and Gold leading at the end of the first quarter, but in the second they were forced to take the short end and were trailing 13-11 at the half. In the third period both teams fought desperately but Nokomis still held the lead 22-19. In the opening of the last quarter, Hall made a free throw and Goldman came through with a field goal. 22-22 and three millutes to play???? Un the next play Nolcomis annexed a free throw, but Goldman came back with a free throw and a field goal. Then it was that the Purple and Gold emerged victorious. Hall was high point man, with 11 points to his credit. Crites came next with 8. V I 'I'1-4n1rDl2lrI::::: v-In-la .r-In-In Il1EDl2lfT . : : : : District Tournament MARCH 5 Taylorville 19 ....... Nokomis 24 ln their first game of the district tournament Taylorville went down to defeat at the hands of the fast Nokomis basketball team. Although holding a 6-1 lead in the first quarter, Taylorville played ragged basketball and were soon overtaken. The second quarter ended 10-8 in favor of the Red and Black. The opponents still held a two point advantage at the end of the third quarter, 16-14-. During the last period the Purple and Gold managed to get a one point lead, but it could not be held. This turned out to be one of the most disappointing games of the entire season. Our hopes were high for a district championship but they were quickly quelled by the Nokomis team. However, our fellows played a wonderful game. It also marked the end of the basketball career of some of our outstanding players for the past three years. Goldman, Hall, McAdam, Turner, Patton, and Chambers all saw their last bit of service to the team in this game. Well done, lads, well done!

So far we have participated in seven meets, and have failed to place in ony one, and that one was at the first of the season, before the boys were really in condition. Probably the outstanding athlete on the track squad is Hall, who shines in almost every sport, including track and field. Hall is a fast dash man running the 100, the 220, and sometimes the 550. He also participates in field 'J events, the discus, etc. McAdam is the javelin man, and having devoted most of his time for three years in perfecting himself in the javelin throw. he is quite proficient. Painter, Turner, and Allison are all fast track men. Turner also runs the hurdles. Sessions is the miler, and although he ll3Sl1.l the shape of a miler, namely long legs, he runs the mile well. Fahri shines on the hurdles and in field events. Wolfe, Rasar, and Akers should accomplish much in future years. Uyler runs the 880, and runs it well. Oddy also shows up well. Taken altogether, the track team this year is one of the most outstanding since Useman attended high school. In fact, Hall broke one of Ll'SClll2lll,S records at the county meet last year. Uur relay team has been placing first and second throughout the entire season.

We failed to place in this meet, owing to the earliness of the season and the length of our basket- hall season. Track practice did not start early enough for the team to be up to par. INTERCLASS April 13 The interclass meet was held this year on what is superstitiously an unlucky date. However, it wasn't unlucky for the seniors, as they copped almost every event of the day. The margin between the winners and the nearest opponent was about thirty. Hall was high point man, repeating his performance of last year. There was no trophy, however, for the high point man this year. The totals were: Seniors 109, Juniors 76, Sophomores 1415. Freshmen IOVZ.

STATE May 16 fToo late to get results.j Baseball 1930-31 Last Spring the call for baseball brought out about twenty candidates. After being somewhat handicapped by weather conditions, the team played two practice games. The Faculty team was victorious in a 15 to 10 fight. Mr. Webly performed a hair-raising catch in the last half' of the ninth by snagging a fast line drive. Boyd Dappert was the winning pitcher with Mr. Wznlters playing shortstop and Mr. Close covering first base. The first game at Kincaid, was a regular battle from beginning to end. Picotti, the opponents' star first baseman, spilled the beans by getting a homer and a double which were responsible for four runs. Fassero and Fabri both hit a triple in the third inning after two outs were against us. Ryan, Bandy, and Dougherty played well at their positions while DeRochi headed the out- fielders. J. Dougherty pitched great ball. During the last half of the ninth with two down, bases loaded, and the count 4 to 4 the batter drew a walk giving Kincaid the winning run. Final score 5 to 4. The second game was not as good as the first although there were many good plays performed. This battle ended 4 to 3 against the Purple and Gold. Members of the team were Ryan first base, B. Dougherty second base, E. Fassero shortstop, Bandy third base, Fabri catcher, J. Dougherty pitcher, De-Rochi left field, Anderson center field, Kramer right field, E. Sheahan right field. This spring a call was issued by Mr. Garard and a number of boys responded. Lack of competing schools and cost of financing a team led to the discontinuing of practice. Baseball in high school is quite expensive and the short season available has led to its being discontinued. Lgly v-In-Is: . xv-Ieilimzlrr .:::: . ' ,se f -M-wff t- .. Y Mm fflflllll R0I4'!

The gym was decorated in a rainbow pattern, with a big blue sky curtain on the stage. Refreshments' were served on the stage, an idea new to the prom. Gene McCormick's orchestra furnished excellent music. HALl.0WE'EN PARTY-November 1, 1930 The Drift, having decided that the social life of the school, and also their money making ventures, should start, sponsored this first party of the year. This party was a masquerade, and everyone enjoyed it immensely. DRIFT PARTY-December 23, 1930 Before the students got their big Christmas vacation, the Drift again decided to sponsor a dance. The orchestra performed perfectly, and again a good time was had by all. Probably the largest crowd of the season attended this dance. VALENTINE PARTY-February 14, 1931 The junior class sponsored the first party of the new year on St. Valentine's Day. Programs for the boys were arrows, and for the girls hearts. The gym was decorated in red and white. The Purple and Gold orchestra, newly organ- ized, was well received by the dancers. The junior class is to be connncnded for the way they presented this party. ST. PATRICK'S FROLIC-March 17, 1931 On this auspicious occasion, St. Patrick's Day, the band decided to sponsor a party, which, by the way, they wish to make an annual affair. The Purple and Gold orchestra again ofliciated in a musical way, in the usual capable manner. The dance drew many students, all of whom were royally entertained after their strenuous day in the classroom. The recreation offered by these parties is very beneficial to the student, and they should not be abolished. This party has the reputation as one of the best of the year. DRIFT PARTY-April 17, 1931 The Drift, after giving two of the other departments a chance to sponsor parties, presented the last party of the year. A goodly crowd of students attended, although many left early to attend to other social obligations The Purple and Gold Orchestra played. They were arranged in a grassy and flowered bower on the east side of the Gym. The orchestra was dressed in white, and added much to the entertainment by the presentation of several novelties, all of which were well received. By the way, Mrs. De Hart promised the pianist 25c for that ladies' choice, but she hasn't paid yet. Ninety-o r-Irv-luv-fu-Ifzv-lettnnlrt tv-In-In-P : vw Slurnling: Lusk. l'1-asv. llulpitl.

He made it in just in time again though, and ,lake carried a nice ushinerf' Finally the three months were up, and the wild oat became a tame oat, winning the girl ami everything, and even Uncle George, who was supposedly dead, came back to life.

MARY DAILEY MILDRI-:D HASTINGS One Hundred Thirteen v-lsr-If: , rv-le II1EDl2lfT . :v-In-I : Senior Class Prophecy 1941. The people in the world have turned their attention to a dirigible making the first non-stop flight around the world. The Spirit of 1931 is the name of this dirigible and it has just left the famous air-port at Taylorville. By means of television let us see what the members of the class of 1931 are doing on board. We are first introduced to the captain of the dirigible. He is none other than Deb Hall. With him, serving as 'fright-hand-man, we find Bill flddy. 'LDeb now introduces us to the three chief engineers who super- vised the building of this dirigible. They are Virgil Hargis, Frances Ware, and .lack Fahri. Warren Morris, the designer, is also present and with him is Rus- sell Harrold, who helped him with his work. We now meet the lnechanics who are running the dirigible-they are James Oldham, John Mathias, DeVerne Dalluge, Monroe Uyler and Carl Hunsley. These persons make up the crew and so let us turn our attention to other parts of the dirigible. We find Anna L. Johnson serving as the official hostess with Lois Oswald and Kathryn Chat- ham as her assistants. As this is a most modern ship, we see a soda fountain capably managed by Melvin Melin, with Marcella Ensminger and Wilma Lawler as waitresses, and a billiard room run by Carl Hart. There is also a beauty shop managed by Mildred Wood. She is assisted by the manicurist, Caroline Adams, and the hairdresser, Louise Alton.

This room has been decorated by Mary Bulpitt. Spe- cial entertainment is to be provided by the actresses Eloise McClure and Martha Livergood. There is also a Hollywood chorus composed of Anna Jones, Ollie Pease, Grace Pearson and Cornelia McDonald. Music is to be furnished by the famous Banks orchestra composed of Milo Banks, Lloyd Jones, Kenneth Tin- sley, and James Darwin. The olficial entertainers on board are Marvin Daigh and Bob Hoover. All the events of the dirigible are broadcasted by Don MCAllHlll, who adds messages quite often to his wife. The programs to be broad- casted are planned by Evan Thomas with the able assistance of Mary Tolle. Clink-there seems to be something wrong with our machine, as we can see nothing more.

A tree will grow faster, of course, if it is cultivated. Some people seem to have the golden touch and then again some seem to go wrong on everything. Analyze two such persons of your acquaintance and you will find that one uses good judgment and foresight and that the other just blunders along. The one will take advantage of every bit of information they can obtain on a business problem, thereby cultivating their judgment, while the other just continues to blunder along. Always remember that suc- cess seldom comes except as the result of hard work. Now if you apply the education you have obtained from your schooling, as in planting the little tree, then culti- vate your knowledge and judgment, your success is assured. The degree of success is going to be measured by the edu- cation you acquire QPLANTJ plus the cultivation given it IAPPLIED JUDGMENTJ . Your bank should bc one of the principal sources of in- formation on your business and financial problems. You will find this bank a friendly bank.

HELPFUL HINTS T0 THE STUDENTS by P. T. WALTERS 1. If the bell rings before you get to class don't become fussed and rush into class. Take your time. The students will he impressed even though the teacher is depressed. 2. lf you should forget and rush into class be sure and bang the door very loudly Zlllfl drag your feet so that your coming may pro- duce the proper effect. 3. lf you are sent to Mr. Webb or Miss Dale for an excuse don't hurry. Maybe most of the lesson will be over by the time you get back and thereby much time will be gained. 4. When T.H.S. basketball team is being de- feated by some other team lstonington or Nokomisl don't lose your head and yell. Save your voice so that you may be able to rec-ite next day in class. 5. If you are in the orchestra Zlllll can't read music fast enough to keep up witlI the rest just fake it-nobody will ever know who made the noise. 6. When you're selecting a reading report, get the book with the biggest print, biggest number of pictures, and fewest number of pages and read it. lf you haven't time enough to read it, read a summary of the book and trust to your imagination. 7. If you need some paper or a pencil don't hesitate to borrow from your neighbor. lf he hasn't the spirit of neighborly love you should help him to acquire it. 8. Even though you don't know your lesson hold up your hand. Chances are, thirty to one that the teacher won't ask you the ques- tion. 9.
