Springfield, Illinois Foreword Time has issued its call for more musi- cians. And so, the Class of 1932 must leave school days behind to accept po- sitions in this band. Some will play first partsg others, seeondg while still others will be asked to leave their in- struments and sleep beneath the sod. Whether we prosper or whether we fail, we leave this monument, uThe Drift of 1932, which we present to keep aflame the memoirs of the days spent in the conservatory of lifes THE STAFF Music Servant and master am I: servant of those dead, and master of those liv- ing. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, and the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. Une I serve as I serve allg and the king I make my slave as easily as I sub- ject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores. the sighing of the wind in the trees. and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers: I am father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in meg I am of them, and they are of me. For I am the in- strument of God. I AM MUSIC Dedication To one who has worked with the interi est of his students at heart, and one who has engendered liking and respect for himself and his department, to E. K. Asbury, we, the Senior Class of 1932, dedicate this twentieth volume of THE DRIFT. The Drift Staff OF I932 EDWARD GREEN ......... ......... E ditor-in,-Chief LAMOYNE BEARDEN ..,..,, .....,..

Tuolmrow ,.,,, ,,,,,,,, A dvisor Wllell we started to High School to learn something new, We found that within us our brains were quite few, But we wanted to cultivate this tiny brain, Though now we're quite sure we did strive all in vain. We shall now tell to you of those days very gay, That we spent in the school we must leave in fair May. We came in September of the year twenty-eight, And from then we will tell Vou the tale of our fate. At the first we elected our officers four, And it was Bill Dougherty we voted for. To assist in the labors of Flllllllllg our elass We all voted for Drennen, the choice of the mass. And after our money ,loe Brooks did attend. Wayne Peel we selected our rights to defend. We did nothing much during this bashful year But sit back and look with eyes bright and clear. When next we did enter the old school door, We were Sophomoresg we were Freshmen no more. DeHart and Card were our sponsors that year: Good work did they do in their hovering near. As officers we did select a very fine crewg For president Henry Drennen we drewg Williams we put in the vice presidenfs chair, And thus with these officers well did we fare. We did nothing this year to gain any fame, But yet as a whole all must say we were game. When we came back to our old stamping ground, In our places as Sophomores the Freshmen we foun d. We were well on our way to the goal we now see:- The more we did think of how happy we'd be, When we were out of school and far from big hooks, The more we did shout and have happy looks. As Juniors in school we achieved great success, Having lost in two years all our hashfulness. Twenty-three I If DRIFT At the many football games we did sell Lots of candy and pop and how we did ycllg At the basketball games and the tournament too We sold our sweet wares to wrench money from you. For more money we gave several 4'hops in the gym, So our prom resource would not be at all slim. And then came our playg oh, how we did work! From prom decorating we never did shirk. At last came the nightg we were popular then. lVlcAdam and Holderread time did they spend In planning this prom that went over so well, And thus giving our merits some talk for a spell. When next we were greeted by tutors so dear, We well knew the end of our schooling was near. And now that weire Seniors, just look at us! Whatever we do causes quite a big fuss- For this year we're dignified Seniors, and how! For being quite smart we must take a bow. The first thing we did of importance at all Was electing our officers in early fall. When the ballots were counted and votes totaled up, To Bill Dougherty we gave the president's cup. tHe has been the big Ngun' in our class for three years So for Bill let us shout and give roof'-raising cheersj . For doing the work and aiding the boss We selected Megaw, a girl fine as floss. I When September was o'er and October was in, The Staff of the Drift all its work did begin. Un the basketball court or the football field, Ur on cindered track we were hard to make yield. Play acting is one of the talents we owng And at our great play we did hear not a moan. . The May Queen was elected from all Senior girls, For her they chose Conkey with all her fair curls. When our gay Senior year did come to its doom, Out against a dark sky there brightly did loom The last entertainment we got in the gym, When our hours as Seniors were growing quite slim. There also will be the sad time when we went ln a body to God our mistakes to repent. Many tears at commencement we Seniors did shedg Though for joy or for sorrow it can not be said. Uur story is ended, the finish is nearg But we can't leave you without a slight tear, Try not to forget us in years that will come-4 Remember, dear Freshmen, that we were once dunlb.

Suddenly the Seniors began to realize it was us that entertained them so royally at the .luinor-Senior Prom at the close of the school year. We have not decided whether we should overlook their actions or not, but the Seniors can judge for themselves by the goodness of the prom. Soon after the first bell rang we got to work raising the funds necessary to finance the prom. We sold candy and soda pop at the football games and made quite a profit. To make more money we gave a Calico and Overall Hop in the gym on February 25. Willard Vlfoodward and his orchestra furnished the music. ln the first week in the year of 1932 tryouts were held for our play, A Lucky Break. This play with its humor created by Ruth Mallach, Katherine Koppser, Bernardine Dozier, and Margaret Seaton was very successful as far as entertainment was concerned, considering everything, it can, also, be called a success financially. We feel that the prom this year will be as good if not better than the one given last year by the present Senior class. From our ranks came a great many of the football players. There was Giovagnoli, Wolfe, Allison, Beninati, Neidringhaus, and ,lack Hafliger. Hugo Giovagnoli is the captain-elect of next year's football team. Wolfe, White., and Neidringhaus were the most outstanding Juniors on the basketball team. Dudley Wolf't2 was elected captain of the next yearis quintet. We also have class members who are outstanding in other things besides athletics. Betty Bulpitt, Eileen Argust, and Richard Hershey have outstanding scholarship records.

We elected our officers in September and feel that we elected a very fine group. ,lust before the Christmas vacation we showed ourselves to have some real talent. We put on a program which was well received by the student body. This entertainment was directed by Miss Terriere and lVliss Ashbrook and consisted of a one act play and several readings. Those in the play were Martha ,lean Boyd, Helen Mallach, Marcella Ettinger, Daniel Greene, and George Spates. Xve were called the sophisticated Sophomores and we have tried very hard to live up to this name. Personally we think we did live up to this name. We know that we have acted better at the dance this year than we did last year. When we think of how dumb we acted last year, we blush with shameg but this year we have been able to give the Freshmen a few pointers on behavior. We are unable to claim any outstanding athletes this year but there are a great many promising boys who will have the opportunity to show themselves in the two years we have left in high school. At any rate we hope so. Several times this spring we acquired the spring fever-anyway we forgot we had a good name to build up. At another time we decided that lollypops were good for our nature so we started a craze among the entire student body, the Seniors included. We know that these lollypops did not aid our dignity but we were thinking of our stomachs and of the teachers' reactions toward this foolish folly. Forty -lhree ' I E Dlllf l uurlll Row: flux.

A d visor We Freshmen appeared at the Taylorville High School one lll0l'IllIlg early in September of the year of 1931 looking very bewildered and somewhat fright- ened. We didn't seem to know exactly what to do but we were determined not to show our ignorance. Finally we niet some of our friends who were the new Sophomores, and we lost pat't of our self-eonsciousness. After beeoming acquainted with the halls our troubles were not over: it was neeessary for us to learn the location of our classrooms. With the aid of our eards we were finally able to reach. our proper recitation rooms when the bell rang for the first time on that bright September morning. Wheli we were in the correct rooms our minds were filled with many ques- tions. We wondered what our teachers would look likeg whether they would be cross or very nieeg if the teaehers were easy or hardg if this subject was a snap and that one a hard one. As usual we did not do anything of any importance. Une thing we did do. however. was our co-operating with the Sophomores in the formation of a Freshman-Sophomore football team. We played several games with teams of the same ranking and ability. Some of the players showed themselves to be the stars of the 'l'.T.H.S. elevens of the coming years. NVQ- feel we were fortunate in having two advisors like Miss Ashbrook and Mrs. Kramer and the ambitious group of officers. We were to have had a picnic this spring but the Juniors and Seniors required so much attention that this was impossible. I nrly-sever! I If Dlllf Fnurlh livlr: L. lhlrlull. 5. Ihinlu.

Among those who merit mention are Crites and Beninati of the backfield, and Lauer, Lewis, and G. Hafligcr of the line. Captain-elect, Giovagnoli, was unable to show his ability because of injuries received in the forepart of the season. Taylorville received no places on ally first all-star team selected by coaches or sports writers. Crites and Lewis were placed on several second teams. Team Carlinville ,,,. .,..

Merle Crites showed his ability to carry a football by making two touch- downs, Beninati and Sessions plunged for the extra points. Lauer, Wolfe, and Captain Lewis were outstanding linemen. OCTOBER 2 Taylorville 6 ..... Bement 8 Coach ,lohnsonis boys played the second game of the season and were de- feated by Bement by a score of 8 to 6. The first points were scored in the second quarter when Bement blocked Giovagnolfs punt and recovered the ball for a safety. In this same quarter Anderson blocked a punt and G. HaHiger recovered the ball for a touchdown. ln the last 29 seconds of the game when Bement was on the 20 yard line, Coach Johnson had substituted several men and Doyle made a 15 yard pass to Barnes who took it over for a touchdown. However Lauer and Wolfe were not in the lineup on account of injuries, and Crites had been sent out early in the game for a penalty. This was a non-conference game. Ocromsn 10 Taylorville 0 .... Carlinville 7 Coach Johnsorfs Purple and Gold gridders played a fast conference game at Carlinville only to be defeated in the last three minutes of the game by a lateral pass. ln the third quarter, Captain Lewis and his team advanced to within 25 yards of a touchdown but lost the ball on a fumble. Carlinville's only chance to make any gains was by passes. Lauer, Lewis, Sessions, and Beninati all played a splendid game but they felt keenly the loss of Ciovagnoli, who received a broken collar-bone in practice.

Taylorvillc threatened to score in the first quarter when the ball was carried within one foot of' the goal line, but Crites failed in a desperate attempt to carry it over. The only serious threat made by Litchfield was in the fourth quarter when a pass was made, but it was intercepted by Crites which probably pre- vented a one touchdown victory for Litchfield.

Hafliger place kicked for the extra point. Early in the second quarter Crites made steady gains until he finally got the ball over for another touchdown. A short time later Beninati made a 50 yard run down the field and Crites carried the ball over. ln the third quarter Crites scored another touchdown and Beninati scored the extra point.

The only touchdown occurred in the second quarter when Routt was held for downs and punted the ball straight into the air. A Taylorville man touched the ball and Routt recovered it on the 40 yard line. Crites, Beninati, and Melin carried the ball most of the time. The entire line played a great game in spite of the weather conditions but they were unable to hold Routt until the last half. Novsmasn 19 Taylorville 0 ....

In the last quarter Taylorville threatened when a series of passes were com pleted from Allison to lVlelin.

At the start of the game it looked as though it would be a punting duel between Allison and Alde. In the third quarter Taylorville went through the Pana line for four first downs. Melin and Beninati did the bulk of the ball carrying with the aid of Sessions. Wolfe, and Lewis. Beninati intercepted a pass on the 50 yard line and ran back 10 yards before being brought down.

Lately, much has been said in regard to the over-emphasis of athletics in our colleges and secondary schools so that now movements are rapidly increasing to further athletic interests to a larger number of contestants rather than specializing with a few. Someone has uttered quite appropriately, Into mighty oaks acorns grown not realizing how well it fits our system of athletics. We aim to take the potesteal athletics and organize them in similar manner to the regular varsity teams of the school. Through such organization, stage fright is lessened, boys are hardened, plays are taught, fundamentals drilled by actual competitive games so that when the boy finds himself in the 'hlure of the bright lights he will at least have his saddle. This year the Freshman-Sophomore football team afforded competitive athletics for some thirty-five athletes in the form of three scheduled games played with Nokomis, Cathedral, and Stonington. It is hoped that all will soon realize the significance of organized athletics for l1lldCI'Cl8SSlll8ll and respond accordingly, so that in a few years such teams will be available in all major sports.

The team under the captainship of Merle Crites was always willing to light long and hard for the honor of the Purple and the Gold. The team was weakened somewhat by the loss of Critcs and Turner at the end of the first semester because of the ninth semester ruling. Their places on the team were filled by various players through the remainder of the season. At the banquet annually tended the basketball squad and the coach by the Rotary Club, letters were awarded to the players earning them, and Dudley Wolfe was elected captain of next ycar's team. Ten T's were awarded. There is no individual player or players who stand out from the rest of the team. From this year's squad, however, there are a great many players who do not graduate. Wolfe. Daigh, R. Asbury, White, and Neidringhaus are the most outstanding underclassnien. Taylorville did not merit any places on all-conference teams selected by newspapers and coaches.

The flash men practiced starts and lightning running while the distance men worked on stride.

Parties SEPTEMBER 25 As usual, the first Girls' Athletic Associatiolfs party of the season was a Kid party. It was held, in the gym on the evening of September 25. Everyone present wore the attire belonging to kiddies from babyhood through their 'teens. To add more to their childishness many were eating candy suckers. The food committee served refreshments in keeping with the occasion. There was chocolate milk, North Poles, gingerbread men, and jelly beans. The G.A.A. orchestra furnished the music to aid in making a complete evening. ll.-l DEICEMBER 19 Un this evening the C.A.A. members tendered their annual Christmas party to their mothers. Contests were planned for the mothers and special demon- strations of gymnastics were given. Santa Claus was there and presented each mother with some useful little article. The refreshments consisted of Dixie cups, Christmas tree shaped cakes, and candy. .l.i APRIL 1 A novel party was held by the G.A.A. members on April Fool's Day. The gala occasion was a pajama party. The members came out for the event decked in pajamas of all descriptionsg there were flowered pajamas, bright colored pajamas, dark colored pajamas, in fact., pajamas of every color of the rainbow and their combinations. Throughout the entire evening contests were in progress between the four classes. The Seniors were, however, victorious in more of the contests than the underclassmen. The most interesting contest was a leap frog contest in which all competitors worked hard to emerge the winners. The Seniors finally won the contest. Delightful refreshments consisting of Nu Bars, chocolate milk, and pretzels were served from an attractively decorated booth. The G.A.A. orchestra sup- plied the gay music for the dancing. Nl lltl l1E Dlllf What G.A.A. lVleans To Girls Uh, goody! This is gym day. Now, where is a middy? I just have to find one 'cause this is basketball day. Every girl should feel like this about her gym days and most of them do. Those who are always finding some way of getting excused are few in number. This association. with its point system, creates much good competition between the classes. For each first team a girl makes, she gets a hundred pointsg for each second team, fifty pointsg for each third., she gets twenty-five points. But that is not the only way she may get points. She may hike, ride a horse. keep health rules, or bicycle for points. The school year is divided into five parts of girls' gynmastics. Early in the fall the baseball season is on. Then comes a little rhythm. The larger part of the winter is given over to basketball. Then for about three weeks there is volleyball. The latter part of the school year is given over to a mixture of archery aml spring baseball. Exercise days are scattered all through this. At the end of each season a tournament is held between the first teams of each class. The members of the champion team are given extra points toward their big MT. This isn't all the G.A.A. means to the girl. There are always parties to plan and look forward to, and the play to learn and give. This is a synopsis of what the G.A.A. does during the year and what it means to most girls. Very few ever realize the importance and appreciate the real value of those days in gym. Every girl owes it to her personal beauty to get at least some exercise each day. Today the important thing in every girl's life is keep healthy as well as charming and to do this it is necessary that she get the proper amount of exercise. The G.A.A. always upholds those ideals that every girl should strive for. Miss Baker has done everything to help and aid each girl and great credit is due her for the splendid work she has done. It is not often that one finds a person that will devote so much of her time so wholeheartedly and so unselfishly to the pleasure of others.

The High School has had an organization ol' this nature for the past live years, but formerly the members were all girls. This year boys were added to the Pep Squad, and they haveq been a great help in increasing the enthusiasm of the student body for basketball. The cheer-leaders were Mary Cordelia Hoover, Camille McFadden. Louella Thomas, Modestina Mazzotti, Joe Brooks, Jr.. and Ernest Spalding. The uniforms of the girls were a departure from 'those used last year: this year the girls wore black skirts and purple sweaters with gold trimmings. The boys wore dark trousers and purple sweaters with gold trimmings. The leaders had white sweaters instead ol' the colored. Se ren lv-ji rv ' I I DW' Fifth Row: Miss Orr, E. Banks.

Asinung Comlur-tor The High School orchestra each year is assuming symphonic proportions. This year the orchestra has the full complement ol' instruments that are to he found in a symphony orchestra with the exception ol' the viola. The orchestra isn't as flashy as the band. hut it fills a place in the community life that the hand cannot. The orchestra has played for many ol' the High School entertainments and several outside activities. The outstanding event ol' the year was the playing ol' the musical opcretta, The Queen ol' 'llulip-time. This operetta was staged hy the Girls' Athletic Association under the ahle direction of Miss Alice Baker. ln order to avoid monotony. it was decided to stage a musical comedy instead of tlic customary May Fete. This comedy was a splendid success. well acted. and sung. and much credit is due Miss Baker for the excellent dance ensemhles and stage directions. The orchestra numbers thirty-five mcmlrers.

Unly in the last few years has the lowly saxophone come into its place as a recognized instrument and has been permitted to take its position among the so-ealled legitimate instruments. To form a saxophone hand is something very new in musical work. The Taylorville High School is fortunate in having such a groupg many new, novel, and unusual effects can be obtained by such a combination. A group of saxophones. well played, gives an effect similar to that of a pipe organ.

Asistmt, Conductor With the varied instrumentation in the band and orchestra it is possible to arrange many different ensembles. We have a woodwind group that has fur- nished many interesting and enjoyable programs. The woodwind ensemble consists of both single and double reed instruments. Several instruments are used which do not employ a reed, but these are neces- sary to obtain the desired effects. Some very fine musical effects are obtained by using skillfully arranged music.

CALICO-OVERALL HOP February 25 The .lunior Class gave a dance on Thursday night, February 25, to aid them in their hunt for sufficient funds to sponsor a prom of a fine calibre. This dance drew the largest crowd of the season, and all were garbed in calico and overalls. Everyone present had one of the most enjoyable times he has ever had while a student in T.T.H.S. The cornet player in Woodward's orchestra furnished plenty enjoyment by his antics. 4The Drift Staff and the Junior Class wish to take this means to thank Willarcl Yvoodward and the members of his orchestra for their willingness to play for our danccsg and if there is any way in which we can aid them by a good word, we will he more than glad to do so.

This play was one of the best ever given by this organization. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon are living in an isolated lodge not far from the Canadian border. They have as their guest a mysterious Miss Maitland who, during the course of the play, is hypnotized. An unknown Nemesis is trying in every way possible to obtain possession of some valuable documents which Mr. Cordon holds. The two detectives, who have been called in for protection, are always throwing sarcastic remarks at one another. Henry, a chore boy and half-wit, is eternally quoting Shakespeare. Some very thrilling action follows which causes Betty Webber, the caretaker's daughter and .limmie Gordon's wife, to remember a trap door. The mystery is solved by the finding of the secret room.
